A possible signature of new physics at BES-Ⅲ

The recent observations of the purely leptonic decay Ds+→μ+νμ and τ+ντ at CLEO-c and B factory may allow a possible contribution from a charged Higgs bosom One such measurement of the decay constant fDs differs from the most precise unquenched lattice QCD calculation by a level of 4σ.Meanwhile,the measured ratio,BR(D+s+→μ.+νμ)/BR(D+→μ+νμ),is larger than the standard model prediction at a 2.0σ level.We discuss that the precise measurement of the ratio BR(Ds+→μ+νμ)/BR(D+μ+νμ) at BES-Ⅲ will shed light on the presence of new intermediate particles by comparing the data with the theoretical predictions,especially,the predictions of high precise unquenched lattice QCD calculations.     

Study of η and η' physics at BES-Ⅲ

Decays of both η and η' provide very useful information in our understanding of low-energy QCD, and experimental signatures for these decays would be extremely helpful at BES-Ⅲ. The rare decays of the η and η' mesons could serve as a low-energy test of the Standard Model and its beyond. The sensitivities of the measurements of η and η' decays are discussed at BES-Ⅲ, in which the η and η' mesons are produced in the ψ decays.

Search for new physics in the B→K^（＊）l^＋l^- decays at BABAR

Based on a data sample of 384 million BB pairs collected with the BABAR detector at the PEP-Ⅱ asymmetric e ＋ e ￣ storage ring,we measure branching fractions,direct CP,isospin and lepton-flavor asymmetries for the rare decays B → K （＊） l ＋ l￣ in two di-lepton mass bins above and below the J/ψ resonance.For the B → K＊ l ＋ l￣ decay,we also measure the K＊ longitudinal polarization fraction and the di-lepton forwardbackward asymmetry.     

Cabibbo-Suppressed Non-leptonic Decays of ∧c and Final State Interaction

With the diquark structure of ∧c, we investigate the branching ratio of ∧c→nπ^ and pπ^0. The results show that without considering the finM state interaction (FSI), the branching ratio of ∧c→pπ^0 is only of order 10^-6 whereas this ratio could reach 10^-4 and is at the same order as ∧c→nπ^ if taking into account the FSI effects. Concrete values depend on phenomenologicM parameters adopted in the calculations. These branching ratios can be measured in the experiments to come.     

Significance of absolute energy scale for physics at BESⅢ

The effects of absolute energy calibration on BESⅢ physics are discussed in detail, which mainly involve the effects on τ mass measurement, cross section scan measurement, and generic error determination in other measurements.     

Theoretical Analysis of Neutron Double-Differential Cross Section of n ＋^19F at 14.2 MeV

A new light nuclear reaction model has been developed and the double-differential measurements of lp shell nuclei have been analyzed successfully. Now, the application of this model is expanded to 19F of the 2s-ld shell nucleus. The double-differential cross section of total outgoing neutron for n ＋^19F reactions at En=14.2 MeV has been calculated and analyzed, which agrees fairly well with the experimental measurements. In this paper, the contributions from different reaction channels to the double-differential cross sections have been analyzed in detail. The calculations indicate that this light nudear reaction model is also able to be used for the 2s-ld shell nucleus so long as the related level scheme couM be provided sufficiently.     

Kinematics of τ two-body decay near τ threshold at BESⅢ

The kinematic properties of two-body decay near τ threshold are studied according to the special capacity of the BEPC accelerator and the BESⅢ detector.Explicitly presented are the transformations of energy and momentum of hadronic particles between different reference frames,and the corresponding distributions.A brand new method is proposed to obtain the energy spread of the accelerator by fitting the energy distribution of hadron from τ semi-leptonic decays.     

Physics program of open charm and heavy cc states at the BES-Ⅲ experiment

We present the physics program of the open charm and heavy cc states above the DD production energy threshold, which will be studied with the BES-Ⅲ detector at the BEPC- Ⅱ collider in the coming years. Based on some full Monte Carlo simulations with the BES-Ⅲ detector, we predict the accuracy levels on measuring some physical quantities related to D^0, D^＋ and Ds^＋ decays as well as some non-charmed decays of the heavy cc states.     

Analysis of Neutron Double-Differential Cross Section of n＋^14N at 14.2 MeV

Abstract By using a new reaction model for light nuclei, the double-differential cross section of n ^14N reactions at En=14.2 MeV has been analyzed. In the case of n ^14N reactions, the reaction mechanism is very complex, there are over one hundred opened partial reaction channels even at incident energy En=14.2 MeV. In this paper the opened reaction channels are listed in detail. With LUNF code the model calculation is performed to analyze the doubledifferential cross sections of total outgoing neutron. The calculated results agree fairly with the experimental data. The results indicate that the pre-equilibrium mechanism dominates the whole reaction processes, and the recoil egect in light nuclear reactions is essentially important. 5He emission has been considered, but it is only a small contribution to thedouble-differential cross section at incident energy En=14.2 MeV.

Higgs decay to τ+τ−A possible signature of intermediate mass Higgs bosons at high energy hadron colliders

This paper considers the decay of a standard model Higgs boson into a tau pair, as a possible signature at the SSC or LHC for a Higgs boson of mass between 110 and 160 GeV. The production of the Higgs in association with a large transverse momentum jet is considered, since this may aid in reconstructing the Higgs mass. The background from the production of tau pairs via virtual photons and Z's is studied. We comment on the possible use of this process to search for a light Higgs at the Tevatron collider.     

D~0 -~0 mixing and CP violation at BES-Ⅲ

Recently,both BaBar and Belle experiments found evidences of neutral D mixing.In this paper, we discuss the sensitivities of the measurements of D mixing parameters at BES-Ⅲ.With CP tag technique atψ(3770)peak,the extraction of the strong phase difference in D~0→Kπdecay at BES-Ⅲare discussed.We also make an estimate on the measurements of the mixing rate R_M by using the coherent data atψ(3770)peak. The CP violation in D system is predicted with an unobserved level in the Standard Model.Any significant CP violation in the D system indicates the existence of new physics.The sensitivity of the measurements of CP violation in the D system is estimated in the coherent D decays.Finally,the search for the rare D decays are discussed,in which some of the forbidden decays are smoking gun of new physics.

A novel probe of new physics in e^+e^-→Zγ

One could compare the discovery of a new particle to a big shining firework,lighting up the night sky.But sometimes discoveries can be subtle,less flamboyant,and still point to the existence of new particles in an indirect way.     

Searching for new physics in D^0→μ^＋ μ^-,e^＋e^-,μ^±e at BES and/or the super charm-tau factory

In contrast with B0-ˉB0, Bs-ˉBs mixing where the standard model（SM） contributions overwhelm that of the new physics beyond standard model（BSM）, a measured relatively large D0-ˉD0mixing where the SM contribution is negligible, definitely implies the existence of the new physics BSM. It is natural to consider that the rare decays of D meson might be more sensitive to new physics, and the decay mode D0→μ＋μ-could be an ideal area to search for new physics because it is a flavor changing process. In this work we look for a trace of the new physics BSM in the leptonic decays of D0. Concretely we discuss the contributions of unparticle or an extra gauge boson Z while imposing the constraints set by fitting the D0-ˉD0mixing data. We find that the long-distance SM effects for D0→lˉl still exceed those contributions of the BSM under consideration, but for a double-flavor changing process such as D0→μ±e, the new physics contribution would be significant.
