Reanalysis of the （0^＋, 1^＋） States Bs0 and Bs1 with QCD Sum Rules

We calculate the masses and decay constants of the P-wave strange-bottomed mesons Bs0 and Bs1 with the QCD sum rules, and observe that the central values of the masses Bs0 and Bs1 are smaller than the corresponding BK and B^＊K thresholds respectively, the strong decays Bs0→ BK and Bs1→B^＊K are kinematically forbidden. They can decay through the isospin violation processes Bs0→ Bsη → Bsπ^0 and Bs1 → Bs^＊η → Bs^＊π^0 .The bottomed mesons Bs0 and Bs1, just like their charmed cousins Ds0（2317） and Ds1（2460）, may be very narrow.     

New Physics Effects on Rare Decays Bu^＋ → π^＋e^＋e^-, ρ^＋e^＋e^- in a Top Quark Two-Higgs-Doublet Model

Using the form factors from light-cone sum rules, we study the branching ratios and forward-backward asymmetries （FBAs） of the exclusive decays Bu^＋→π^＋e^＋e^- and Bu^＋ →ρ^＋e^＋e^- （e= e,μ） in the standard model （SM） and the top quark two-Higgs-doublet model （T2HDM）. From the numerical results, we find that the new physics contributions cannot provide very large enhancement to the branching ratios and the theoretical predictions are in good agreement with the SM ones. The T2HDM effects on FBAs of these decays are small. Precision measurements of the dilepton invariant mass distributions, especially in the lower dilepton mass region, and the FBAs in the decays Bu^＋ → π^＋ （ρ^＋ ）e^＋ e^- will greatly help in discriminating among the SM and the new physics models.     

Chiral Lagrangian Treatment of 0^＋＋ Mesons and 0^＋＋ Glueballs

Within the framework of a nonlinear chiral Lagrangian the mass spectra and the decay properties of 0^＋＋ states below 2 GeV are studied. Assuming that f0（980）, a0（980）, K0（1430）, and f0（1500） comprise an SU（3） nonet, we make a detailed prediction about the static properties of the 0^＋＋ mesons. The substructure analysis of these states in terms of two- and four-quark components as well as a glueball component is carried out. We also consider the interaction Lagrangian and provide a preliminary study of the strong and radiative decays of the 0＋＋ mesons. The scalar glueball masses and partial widths are also presented. In view of the fact that few data of 0＋＋ mesons are clearly given in the present PDG （Particle Data Group） list and that the four-quark content of mesons is a hot issue both experimentally and theoretically, the predicted results of the paper may be helpful for upcoming experimental and theoretical studies of these mesons.     

Helicity Amplitude Analysis of e^＋e^- ψ（2S） → γχcJ→γ∧∧^-→γpπ^-p^-π^＋＊

An analysis of the helicity amplitude is performed on the process e^＋e^- ψ（2S） → γχcJ→γ∧∧^-→γpπ^-p^-π^＋. The joint angular distributions for each decay chain are given, and we focus on discussing the E1 contributions to ψ（2S） radiative decays, and the violation of the helicity selection rule in χcJ decays into hyperon pairs, together with the possibility of observing parity violation in successive hyperon decays.     

Can contributions to B_s→l＋l-γ from the magnetic-penguin operator with real photons in the standard model be neglected？

Using the Bs meson wave function extracted from non-leptonic Bs decays, we reevaluate the rare decays Bs→l＋l- γ,（l=e,μ） in the Standard Model, including two kinds of contributions from the magnetic-penguin operator with virtual and real photons. We find that contributions to the exclusive decays from the magnetic-penguin operator b→sγ with real photons, which were regarded as negligible in the previous literature, are large and the branching ratios Bs→l＋l-γ are enhanced by a factor of almost 2. With the predicted branching ratios of the order of 10-8, it is expected that these radiative dileptonic decays will be detected in LHC-b and B factories in the near future.     

Studies of Bs^0 → η＇η＇ Decays in pQCD Approach

We calculate the CP averaged branching ratios and CP-violating asymmetries for Bs^0 → η＇η＇ and η＇η＇ decays in the perturbative QCD （pQCD） approach here. The pQCD predictions for the C P-averaged branching ratios are Br（Bs^0 → ηη）=（14.2-7.5^＋18.0） ×10^-6,Br（Bs^0 → ηη＇）=（12.4-7.0^＋18.2）×10^-6,and Br（Bs^0 → η＇η＇） =（9.2-4.9^＋15.3）×10^-6, which agree well with those obtained by employing the QCD factorization approach and also be consistent with available experimental upper limits. The gluonic contributions are small in size： less than 7% for Bs →ηηand ηη＇ decays, and around 18% for Bs →η＇η＇ decay. The CP-violating asymmetries for three decays are very small： less than 3% in magnitude.     

Masses and Widths of Light Scalar Mesons in Chiral Perturbation Theory

Based on the diquark model, we assume that the light scalar mesons are q^2q^-2 states rather than qq^-. The chiral effective Lagrangian for the light scalar meson is constructed, and the mass relations are obtained： the isotriplet （a0） and the isosinglet （f0） are the heaviest and are degenerate, the isodoublets （κ） are heavier and the other isosinglet （σ） is the lightest; and 2Mκ^2 = Mα0^2＋ Mσ^2. Using experimental value for a0 and σ mass, we obtain Mκ=794 MeV, which is consistent with the experimental value. Then taking Г（a0^0 →ηπ^0） = 90 MeV and Г（f0→π^0π^0） = 20 MeV, we get the width of σ is： Г（σ0→π^＋π^-）= 150 MeV.     

Charmonium results from BES

Using ～ 14 × 10^6 ψ（2S） and ～ 58 × 10^ J/ ψ data collected at BES Ⅱ/BEPC, the branching fraction of ψ（2S）→Ω-Ω^＋ is measured with about 5a statistical significance. The A electric dipole and ∧ decay parameter are studied using the decay J/ψ →∧∧→ ppπ^＋π^-. Using （106±3）× 10^6 ψ（2S） decays collected at BESⅢ/BEPC Ⅱ, we have obtained some interesting physics results. The branching fractions of XcJ→π^0π^0, ηη are measured with precision improved. The mass and width of he（l^1P1） state, together with the branching fractions of Br（ψ（2S） →π^0hc） and Br（hc →γηc） are the first measurements. Surprisingly, the decays of Xc1→φφ, ωω, and ωφ are firstly observed in BESⅢ data.     

News on PHOTOS Monte Carlo： γ＊→π^＋π^-（γ） and K^±→π^＋π^-e^±υ（γ）

PHOTOS Monte Carlo is widely used for simulating QED effects in decay of intermediate particles and resonances. It can be easily connected to other main process generators. In this paper we consider decaying processes γ＊→π^＋π^-（γ） and K^±→π^＋π^-e^±υ（γ） in the framework of Scalar QED. These two processes are interesting not only for the technical aspect of PHOTOS Monte Carlo, but also for precision measurement of αED（Mz）, g--2, as well as ππ scattering lengths.     

B→K0^＊（1430）K Decays in Perturbative QCD Approach

In this article, we calculate the branching ratios of B→K0^＊ （1430）K decays by employing the pertur-bative QCD （pQCD） approach at leading order. We perform the evaluations in the two scenarios for the scalar meson spectrum. We find that （i） The leading order pQCD predictions for the branching ratio Br（B^＋→K^＋K0^＊（1430）^0）are in good agreement with the experimental upper limit in both scenarios, while the pQCD predictions for other considered B→K0^＊（1430）K decay modes are also presented and will be tested by the LHC experiments; （ii） The annihilation contributions play an important role in these considered decays, for B^0→K0^＊（1430）^±K^± decays,for example,which are found to be （1-4）×10^-6.     

A test of CPT symmetry in K^0 vs K^0→π^＋π^-π^0 decays

I show that the CP-violating asymmetry in K^0 vs K^0→π^＋π^-π^0 decays differs from that in KL→π^＋π^-, KL →π^0π^0 or the semileptonic KL transitions, if there exists CPT violation in K^0-K^0 mixing. A delicate measurement of this difference at a super flavor factory （e.g., the φ factory） will provide us with a robust test of CPT symmetry in the neutral kaon system.     

Ds1（2536）^＋ decays and the structure of P-wave charmed strange mesons

We calculate the D s 1 （2536） ^＋ decays into D＊K channels,including the decay D s 1 （2536） ＋ → D ＋ π-K ＋ through a virtual D＊0 in a constituent quark model.Widths and S/D amplitudes ratio are in agreement with the recent Belle and BABAR data,being the results sensitive to 1 P 1 and 3 P 1 mixture.     

Study of Radiative Decays Ds1（2536） → Ds（1968） ＋γ and Ds1（2536）→ Ds^＊（2112） ＋ γ in CQM Model

There are some uncertain charazteristics of the Ds1（2536）, which deserves further discussion. Based on the assumption that the meson is constituted by c s, and belongs to T doublet （1^＋, 2^＋）, radiative decays Ds1（2536） → Ds（1968） ＋γ and Ds1（2536） → Ds^＊（2112） ＋ γ are studied in the CQM model The large branching ratios of them from our calculations not only indicate the process may be detected in the future experiments, but also can give a deep comprehension of the structure of it.     

Two-photon processes at Belle

We review recent measurements of pure neutral final state production in the two-photon processes, γγ→π^0π^0 and ηπ^0 at the Belle experiment. In the lower invariant mass region, properties of light scalar mesons are measured by partial wave analysis. In the higher energy region the total and differential cross section are compared with QCD models.     

Lepton-number-violating decays of singly-charged Higgs bosons in the type-（Ⅰ＋Ⅱ ） seesaw model

The lepton-number-violating decays of singly-charged Higgs bosons H^± are investigated in the minimal type-（ Ⅰ＋Ⅱ ） seesaw model with one SU（2）L Higgs triplet △ and one heavy Majorana neutrino N1 at the TeV scale. We find that the branching ratios B（H^＋ → 1α^＋υ^-） （for α = e,μ,τ） depend not only on the mass and mixing parameters of three light neutrinos υi （for i = 1, 2, 3） but also on those of N1. Assuming that the mass of N1 lies in the range of 200 GeV to 1 TeV, we figure out the generous interference bands for the contributions of υi and N1 to B（H^＋→ 1α^＋υ^-）. We illustrate some salient features of such interference effects by considering three typical mass patterns of υi, and show that the relevant Majorana CP-violating phases can affect the magnitudes of B（H^＋→ 1α^＋υ^-）） in this parameter region.     

B→K0^＊（1430）η（＇） decays in the pQCD approach

Based on the assumption of two-quark structure of the scalar meson K0^＊（1430）, we calculate the CP-averaged branching ratios for B→K0^＊（1430）η（＇） decays in the framework of the perturbative QCD （pQCD） approach here. We perform the evaluations in two scenarios for the scalar meson spectrum. We find that： （a） the pQCD predictions for Br（B→K0^＊（1430）η（＇）） which are about 10^-5 10^-6, basically agree with the data within large theoretical uncertainty; （b） the agreement between the pQCD predictions and the data in Scenario Ⅰ is better than that in Scenario Ⅱ, which can be tested by the forthcoming LHC experiments; （c） the annihilation contributions play an important role for these considered decays.     

Study of scalar meson a0（980） from B → a0（980）π decays

In this paper, we calculate the branching ratios and the direct CP-violating asymmetries for decays B^0 → a0^0（980）π^0, a0^＋ （980）π^-, a0^-（980）π^＋ and B^- → a0^0 （980）π^-, a0^- （980）π^0 by employing the perturbative QCD （pQCD） factorization approach at the leading order. We found that （a） the pQCD predictions for the branching ratios are around （0.4-2.8） × 10^-6, consistent with currently available experimental upper limits; （b） the CP asymmetries of B^0→ a0^0（980）π^0 and B^- → a0^- （980）π^0 decays can be large, about （70-80）% for α= 100°.     

Recent results on hadron spectroscopy from BES

The BES-Ⅲ Detector is a very versatile multipurpose device located at the Institute of High Energy Physics （IHEP） in Beijing, China. Concerning the physics program it ties stringently up to the past BES and BES-Ⅱ experiments. Since start of the data taking in the middle of 2008 the accumulated dataset of 200.10^6 J/ψ events and 100.10^6 ψ＇ events already exceeds the world data on these resonances. In addition to studies of the charmonium systems the data offers great opportunity for investigations in the light hadron sector. In detail it will be reported about the confirmation of the enhancement in pp invariant mass in radiative J/ψ decays, the search for decays Y（2175） → K＊0K＊0, observation of a charged K^± in K^±π^0 and observation of a new excited baryon N＊（2065） decaying to pπ^0 and charged onjugate. The first result is based on data taken by BES-Ⅱ and BES-Ⅲ, the latter three on data collected by BES-Ⅱ only.     

Rare semileptonic decays of heavy mesons in the heavy quark limit

We study the branching ratios of D^＋ → D^0e^＋ν, Ds^＋ → D^0e^＋ν, Bs^0→B^＋e^-^-ν, Ds^＋→D^＋e^-e^＋ and Bs^0→B^0e^-e^＋ rare semileptonic decay processes, which are induced by decays of light quarks, the heavy quarks remain unchanged. The branching ratios of these decay processes are estimated in the heavy quark limit and with SU（3） flavor symmetry. We find that the decay rates are very tiny in the framework of the Standard Model. We also estimate the sensitivities of the measurements of these rare decays at the future experiments, such as BES-Ⅲ, super-B and LHC-b. Observations of these decays may shed some light on new physics beyond the standard model.     

Can contributions to B_s→l~+l~-γ from the magnetic-penguin operator with real photons in the standard model be neglected?

Using the Bs meson wave function extracted from non-leptonic Bs decays, we reevaluate the rare decays Bs→l+l- γ,(l=e,μ) in the Standard Model, including two kinds of contributions from the magnetic-penguin operator with virtual and real photons. We find that contributions to the exclusive decays from the magnetic-penguin operator b→sγ with real photons, which were regarded as negligible in the previous literature, are large and the branching ratios Bs→l+l-γ are enhanced by a factor of almost 2. With the predicted branching ratios of the order of 10-8, it is expected that these radiative dileptonic decays will be detected in LHC-b and B factories in the near future.
