Non-spectator Contributions to Lifetime of ∧b

In this work, we study the contributions of non-spectator effects to the lifetimes of ∧b and B-mesons comparatively. Based on the well-established theoretical framework about the effective weak Lagrangian, we derive the formulation of the non-spectator effects at the quark level. Especially, for ∧b we have considered two pictures: the three-valence-quark picture and the quark-diquark picture. In the two pictures, the interference contributions to the total width are different, in this work, we investigate the interference effects in detail As a preliminary estimate on the lifetimes, we evaluate the hadronic matrix elements appearing in the final formulas of the lifetimes by means of a simple phenomenological model for both pictures. Our results show that the contributions of the non-spectator effects can reduce the ratio of lifetime of ∧b to that of B-mesons by 5-7％. It is noted that in the quark-diquark picture the ratio can be further reduced if excited states of the diquark system are taken into account. We conclude that the measured ratio τ(∧b)/τ(B^o)-0.79 [The Data Group, Phys. Rev. D66 (2002) 010001] can be partly understood by the non-spectator effects, although the problem on the discrepancy between theoretical prediction and experimental measurement is not fullv solved.     

Non—spectator Diquark Effiects on Lifetimes of Λb,Ωb（＊） and Weak Decay Rates of ∑bΞb（＊）

The difference of τB and τAb indicates the role of the light flavors,We calculate the lifetinmes of B-meson and Λb based on the weak effective Hamiltonian while assuming the heavy baryon is constructed by a heavy b-quark and a diquark containing two light quarks.In this scenario,we use the information of the measured ratio τΛb/τB as input to predict rates of the inclusive weak decays of ∑b^(*) and Ξb^(*) into non-bottom final states.We find that these rates of ∑b^(*) and Ξb^(*) are much larger than those of B-mesons and Λb,We also give the predictions for the lifetimes of Ωb and Ω,Pheomenological implication of our result is discussed.     

SPECTRUM OF THE MICROMASER INJECTED WITH Λ-TYPE THREE-LEVEL ATOMS

The spectrum of the micromaser injected with Λ-type three-level atoms is studied. The spectrum has a Lorentzian lineshape and its central frequency has a shift. The effects of various parameters (for example, the atomic center-of-mass velocity, the cavity-length, the one-photon detuning, the ratio of the atomic injection rate to the cavity decay rate and the number of thermal photons) on the linewidth and the frequency shift are examined. The spectrum shows very different features in different velocity regimes, i.e., in the fast-atom regime, in the intermediate-velocity-atom regime, and in the slow-atom regime.     

Effect of four-wave mixing on electromagnetically induced transparency in Λ-type system with a two-photon probe field

Using density matrix equation, we calculate analytically as well as numerically the effect of the four-wave mixing (FWM) field on electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) in the rubidium 5S_{1/2}-5P_{3/2}-5D_{5/2} Λ-type system with a two-photon probe field. The calculated results are in good agreement with Fulton's experimental results in 1995 Phys. Rev. A 52 2302.     

Interaction of a pair coherent state with a three-level Λ-type atom and generation of a modified Bessel-Gaussian state with a vortex structure

The evolution of a system state is derived based on the nonresonant interaction of a three-level "Λ" type atom with two cavity modes at a pair coherent state and two classic fields,and a cavity field state is analyzed in detail under conditional detecting.It is found that the quantized modified Bessel-Gaussian states as well as the superposition states consisting of the quantized vortex states with different weighted coefficients may be prepared through carefully preparing an initial atomic state and appropriately adjusting the interaction time.The scheme provides an additional choice to realize the two-mode quantized vortex state within the context of cavity quantum electrodynamics(QED).     

Two body nonleptonic decays of Λb involving proton

We study some nonleptonic decays of Λ_b-baryon involving transition of a heavy to light quark, using nonrelativistic quark model for form factors. The decay rates for two such decays are consistent with the data available. Also these decays can give us information on the CKM matrix element |V_Ub|.     

Lifetime of heavy hypernuclei and its implications on the weak ΛN interaction

The lifetime of the Λ-hyperon in heavy hypernuclei measured in proton-Au, -Bi and -U collisions by the COSY-13 Collaboration at COSY-Jülich has been analyzed to yield τ_Λ = (145±11) ps. This value for τ_Λ is compatible with the lifetime extracted from antiproton annihilation on Bi and U targets, albeit much more accurate. Theoretical models based on the meson exchange picture and assuming the validity of the phenomenological ΔI = 1/2 rule predict the lifetime of heavy hypernuclei to be significantly larger (2-3 standard deviations). Such large differences indicate that at least one of the assumptions in these models is not fulfilled. A much better reproduction of the lifetimes of heavy hypernuclei is achieved in the phase space model, if the ΔI = 1/2 rule is discarded in the nonmesonic Λ decay.

Theoretical analysis of BLM system for HLS Ⅱ

Hefei Light Source (HLS) is being upgraded to HLS Ⅱ. Its emittance will be much lower than before, therefore the Touschek scattering will increase significantly and become the dominant factor of beam loss. So it is necessary to build a new beam loss monitoring (BLM) system that, in contrast to the old one, is able to obtain the quantity and position information of lost electrons. This information is useful in the commissioning, troubleshooting, and beam lifetime studying for HLS Ⅱ. This paper analyzes the distribution features of different kinds of lost electrons, introduces the operation parameters of the new machine and discusses how to choose proper monitoring positions. Based on these comprehensive analyses, a new BLM system for HLS Ⅱ is proposed.     

Contributions of qqqq components to nucleon spin structure

The spin structure of nucleons is presented in the framework of an extended quark model which in addition to the conventional qqq structure also takes into account qqqq admixtures in the nucleon wave functions, where the qqqq components are in colored quark cluster configurations. The axial vector weak coupling constant and spin distributions for polarized nucleons as well as spin content are obtained for the lowest positive parity qqqq configurations in flavor-spin dependent interaction. In particular, the contributions of the down and strange quarks to the proton spin and the sum rule for polarized neutron are negative, in agreement with recent experiments.     

Analysis of the Λb → Λ?+?? transition in the SM4 using form factors from full QCD

Using the responsible form factors calculated via full QCD, we analyze the ?? _b ?? ???⁺?^? transition in the standard model containing fourth-generation quarks (SM4). We discuss the effects of the presence of the t?? fourth-family quark on related observables like branching ratio, forward-backward asymmetry, baryon polarization as well as double-lepton polarization asymmetries. We also compare our results with those obtained in the SM as well as with predictions of the SM4 but using form factors calculated within heavy-quark effective theory. The obtained results on the branching ratio indicate that the ? transition is more probable in full QCD comparing to the heavy-quark effective theory. It is also shown that the results on all considered observables in the SM4 deviate considerably from the SM predictions when m _t?? ?? 400 GeV.     

Contributions of qqqqq Components to Axial Charges of Proton and N（1440）

The axial charges of the proton and N（1440） are studied in the framework of an extended constituent quark model （CQM） including qqqqq components. The cancellation between the contributions of qqq components and qqqqq components gives a natural explanation to the experimental value of the proton axial charge, which can not be well reproduced in the traditional CQM even after the SU（6） × O（3） symmetry breaking is taken into account. The experimental value of axial charge pins down the proportion of the qqqqq component in the proton to about 20%, which is consistent with the ones given by the strong decay widths and helicity amplitudes. Besides, an axial charge for N（1440） about 1 is predicted with 30% qqqqq component, which is obtained by the strong and electromagnetic decays.     

Distorted Wave Effects of the 1b3g Orbital in Ethylene

We study the unexpected distorted wave effects of the 1b3g orbital in ethylene using a high resolution binary (e,2e) electron momentum spectrometer,at an impact energy of 800eV plus the binding energy (8-22eV) with symmetric non-coplanar kinematics.The experimental monentum profile of the 1b3g orbital is obtained and compared with the data previously measured at an impact energy of 1200 eV plus the binding energy.Also,the experimental momentum profiles of the 1b3g orbital are compared with the theoretical momentum distributions calculated by using Hartree-Fock and density functional theory methods.The experimental momentum profiles of the 1b3g orbital of ethylene at different impact energies show that the cross section of the orbital below the momentum p-1 a.u.is higher for lower impact energies.
