The inelastic production of

The measured cross sections are compared to theoretical predictions within the non-relativistic QCD framework including colour-singlet and colour-octet contributions, as well as to predictions based on the kT-factorisation approach. Calculations of the colour-singlet process generally agree with the data, whereas inclusion of colour-octet terms spoils this agreement.Received: 18 May 2005, Revised: 24 June 2005, Published online: 27 July 2005 相似文献

We present a new measurement of
production in Pb-Pb collisions at 158 GeV/nucleon, from the data sample collected in year 2000 by the NA50 Collaboration,
under improved experimental conditions with respect to previous years. With the target system placed in vacuum, the setup
was better adapted to study, in particular, the most peripheral nuclear collisions with unprecedented accuracy. The analysis
of this data sample shows that the
cross-sections ratio measured in the most peripheral Pb-Pb interactions is in good agreement with the nuclear absorption
pattern extrapolated from the studies of proton-nucleus collisions. Furthermore, this new measurement confirms our previous
observation that the
cross-sections ratio departs from the normal nuclear absorption pattern for semi-central Pb-Pb collisions and that this ratio
persistently decreases up to the most central collisions.

We investigate the effect of Fermi motion on the direct fragmentation of the
and
states employing a light-cone wave function. Consistent with such a wave function we set up the kinematics of a heavy quark
fragmenting into quarkonia such that the Fermi motion of the constituents splits into a longitudinal as well as a transverse
direction and thus calculate the fragmentation functions for these states. In the framework of our investigation, we estimate
that the fragmentation probabilities of
and
may increase at least up to 14 percent when including this degree of freedom.

New data on the
suppression both in proton-nucleus and in lead-lead interactions have been presented recently by the NA50 collaboration. We show that these data, together with the final ones on sulfur-uranium interactions, can be described in the framework of the comovers interaction model with a unique set of three parameters: the nuclear absorption cross-section, the comovers interaction cross-section and a single (rescaled) absolute normalization. Expectations for
suppression at RHIC are also discussed.Received: 3 April 2003, Published online: 11 July 2003 相似文献

At high energies the saturation effects associated to the high parton density should modify the behavior of the observables in proton-nucleus and nucleus-nucleus scattering. In this paper we investigate the saturation effects in the nuclear
production and estimate the modifications in the energy dependence of the cross section as well as in the length of the nuclear medium. In particular, we calculate the ratio of
to Drell-Yan cross sections and show that it is strongly modified if the high density effects are included. Moreover, our results are compared with the data from the NA50 Collaboration and predictions for the RHIC and LHC kinematic regions are presented. We predict an additional
suppression associated to the high density effects.Received: 10 October 2003, Revised: 23 December 2003, Published online: 25 February 2004 相似文献

The production of
and
charmonium states in proton-nucleus interactions has been investigated by the NA50 experiment, at the CERN SPS. High statistics data sets were collected with collisions induced by 450 GeV protons incident on Be, Al, Cu, Ag and W targets. The
and
production cross-sections have been determined for each p-A system and their dependences on the nucleus size have been studied, leading to the so-called normal nuclear absorption. Comparing the two patterns we see that the nuclear absorption is stronger for the
than for the
. Given the high statistics of the data samples, the
(or rapidity) differential cross-sections of the
and
states have also been studied, for each of the target nuclei.Received: 23 September 2003, Revised: 29 November 2003, Published online: 29 January 2004 相似文献

The process of exclusive heavy vector meson photoproduction,
, is studied in the framework of QCD factorization. The mass of the produced meson,
or
, provides a hard scale for the process. We demonstrate that, in the heavy quark limit and at the one-loop order in perturbation theory, the amplitude factorizes in a convolution of a perturbatively calculable hard-scattering amplitude with the generalized parton densities and the non-relativistic QCD matrix element
. We evaluate the hard-scattering amplitude at one-loop order and compare the data with theoretical predictions using an available model for generalized parton distributions.Received: 22 January 2004, Published online: 23 March 2004 相似文献

We discuss aspects of open and hidden charm production in deuterium-nucleus collisions at RHIC and LHC energies. We describe calculations of the total
cross section and the charm quark transverse momentum distributions. We next explain how shadowing and moderate nuclear absorption can explain the PHENIX
d Au/pp ratios and predict the combined effect of shadowing and absorption in 6.2 TeV d + Pb collisions.Arrival of the final proofs: 28 April 2005 相似文献

We compute the one-loop

The study of dilepton production in heavy-ion collisions at the CERN SPS provided some of the most interesting observations
done so far in the search for the quark gluon plasma. However, several aspects of the understanding of these measurements
need to be clarified. For example, the study of the J/
production in different colliding systems should help to disentangle which is the variable driving the J/
suppression. The NA60 experiment, with a new radiation tolerant Silicon pixel detector, studied Indium-Indium interactions
in the year 2003. In this paper, we present the J/
/ DY ratio, integrated over all the centralities of the collisions, together with a first study of the J/
transverse momentum and polarization.

. Future measurements of these decays would be useful for testing the factorization frameworks. The smallness of these decays in the SM makes them sensitive probes of new physics. As an example, we will consider the possible admixture of the (V + A) charge current to the standard (V-A) current. This admixture will give a significant contribution to the decays.Received: 29 August 2003, Revised: 17 January 2004, Published online: 19 March 2004Corresponding author: Y.D. Yang 相似文献

The PHENIX experiment measured J/
production in pp, d + Au and Au + Au reactions at
= 200 GeV over a wide range of rapidity and transverse momentum. The nuclear modification factor obtained by comparing the
d + Au and pp cross sections as a function of rapidity, is consistent with shadowing of the gluon distribution functions.
J/
production in Au + Au collisions was compared to the production in pp collisions and it was found to be inconsistent with
models that predict strong enhancement relative to binary collision scaling.

In the SUSY SO(10) GUT context, we study the exclusive processes
. Using the Wilson coefficients of the relevant operators including the new operators
which are induced by neutral Higgs boson (NHB) penguins, we evaluate some possible observables associated with these processes like the invariant mass spectrum (IMS), lepton pair forward-backward asymmetry (FBA), lepton polarization asymmetries etc. In this model the contributions from Wilson coefficients
, among new contributions, are dominant. Our results show that the NHB effects are sensitive to the FBA,

states caused by the fusion of a symmetric colour-octet state, (gg)8s
, and an additional gluon. The cross sections are calculated in leading-order perturbative QCD. We find a considerable enhancement in comparison with previous perturbative QCD predictions. Indeed, the resulting cross sections are found to be consistent with the values measured at the Tevatron and RHIC, without the need to invoke non-perturbative colour-octet type of contributions.Received: 16 October 2004, Revised: 10 November 2004, Published online: 11 January 2005 相似文献

We discuss the time-dependent CP asymmetry of the decay
in an extension of the standard model with both a two Higgs doublet and additional fourth-generation quarks. We show that, although the standard model with a two Higgs doublet and the standard model with fourth-generation quarks alone are not likely to largely change the effective
from the decay
, the model with both an additional Higgs doublet and fourth-generation quarks can easily account for the possible large negative value of
without conflicting with other experimental constraints. In this model, additional large CP violating effects may arise from the flavor-changing Yukawa interactions between neutral Higgs bosons and the heavy fourth-generation down type quark, which can modify the QCD penguin contributions. With the constraints obtained from
processes such as
and
, this model can lead to an effective
as large as - 0.4 in the CP asymmetry of

We explore CP violation in
decay processes in the presence of the anomalous right-handed
and
couplings. The complex anomalous top coupling can be a source of new CP violation and may lead to a deviation of the observed weak phase in
decays, which accounts for the present disagreement of the observed
between
and
decays. Direct CP violation is also predicted.

Resonant active-to-active (
), as well as active-to-sterile (
) neutrino (
) oscillations can take place during the core bounce of a supernova collapse. Besides, over this phase, weak magnetism increases the antineutrino (
) mean free path, and thus its luminosity. Because the oscillation feeds mass-energy into the target
species, the large mass-squared difference between the species (
) implies a huge amount of energy to be given off as gravitational waves (
erg s-1), due to anisotropic but coherent
flow over the oscillation length. This asymmetric
-flux is driven by both the spin-magnetic and the universal spin-rotation coupling. The novel contribution of this paper stems from (1) the new computation of the anisotropy parameter
-0.01, and (2) the use of the tight constraints from neutrino experiments as SNO and KamLAND, and the cosmic probe WMAP, to compute the gravitational-wave emission during neutrino oscillations in supernovae core collapse and bounce. We show that the mass of the sterile neutrino
that can be resonantly produced during the flavor conversions makes it a good candidate for dark matter as suggested by Fuller et al. , Phys. Rev. D 68, 103002 (2003). The new spacetime strain thus estimated is still several orders of magnitude larger than those from
diffusion (convection and cooling) or quadrupole moments of neutron star matter. This new feature turns these bursts into the more promising supernova gravitational-wave signals that may be detected by observatories as LIGO, VIRGO, etc., for distances far out to the VIRGO cluster of galaxies.Received: 26 November 2003, Revised: 26 February 2004, Published online: 3 June 2004 相似文献
