Spectroscopy,decay properties and Regge trajectories of the B and B_s mesons

A Gaussian wave function is used for detailed study of the mass spectra of the B and BS mesons using a Cornell potential incorporated with a O(1/m) correction in the potential energy term and expansion of the kinetic energy term up to O p~(10) for relativistic correction of the Hamiltonian.The predicted excited states for the B and B_s mesons are in very good agreement with results obtained by experiment.We assign B_2(5747) and B_(s2()5840) as the 1~3P~2 state,B1(5721) and Bs1(5830) as the 1P_1 state,B0(5732) as the 1~3P_0 state,B_(s1)(5850) as the 1~P 1 state and B(5970) as the 2~3S_1 state.We investigate the Regge trajectories in the(J,M~2) and(nr,M~2) planes with their corresponding parameters.The branching ratios for leptonic and radiative-leptonic decays are estimated for the B and BS mesons.Our results are in good agreement with experimental observations as well as outcomes of other theoretical models.     

Two-neutrino double beta decay to excited states

Both doubleβ ⁻ and doubleβ ⁺/EC decay transitions to excited final states in the two-neutrino mode are discussed, their gross properties reviewed and a compilation of recent calculations presented. A brief presentation of the involved nuclear models is given. The close connection between the single and double beta decays is discussed.

Analytic model of Regge trajectories

A model for a Regge trajectory compatible with the threshold behavior required by unitarity and asymptotics in agreement with analyticity constraints is given in explicit form. The model is confronted in the time-like region with widths and masses of the mesonic resonances and, in the space-like region, the ρ trajectory is compared with predictions derived from the π-N charge-exchange reaction. Breaking of the exchange degeneracy is studied in the model and its effect on both the masses and widths is determined. Received: 23 January 2001 / Accepted: 9 February 2001     

Semiclassical regime of Regge calculus and spin foams

Recent attempts to recover the graviton propagator from spin foam models involve the use of a boundary quantum state peaked on a classical geometry. The question arises whether beyond the case of a single simplex this suffices for peaking the interior geometry in a semiclassical configuration. In this paper we explore this issue in the context of quantum Regge calculus with a general triangulation. Via a stationary phase approximation, we show that the boundary state succeeds in peaking the interior in the appropriate configuration, and that boundary correlations can be computed order by order in an asymptotic expansion. Further, we show that if we replace at each simplex the exponential of the Regge action by its cosine—as expected from the semiclassical limit of spin foam models—then the contribution from the sign-reversed terms is suppressed in the semiclassical regime and the results match those of conventional Regge calculus.     

Glueball string models,rotational states,and regge trajectories

A glueball model that describes excited states of glueballs and other exotic hadrons and which has the form of a closed string that features pointlike masses simulating gluons is considered. Rotational states are studied for this model. Their structure proves to be nontrivial. These states are classified, and their frequency spectrum and physical properties, including the energy and angular momentum, are determined with allowance for spin corrections. The corresponding Regge trajectories characterized by a specific set of slopes are used to describe glueball states.     

Excited state mass spectra,decay properties and Regge trajectories of charm and charm-strange mesons

The framework of a phenomenological quark-antiquark potential(Coulomb plus linear confinement)model with a Gaussian wave function is used for detailed study of masses of the ground, orbitally and radially excited states of heavy-light Qq,(Q=c,q=u/d,s) mesons. We incorporate a O(1/m) correction to the potential energy term and relativistic corrections to the kinetic energy term of the Hamiltonian. The spin-hyperfine, spin-orbit and tensor interactions incorporating the effect of mixing are employed to obtain the pseudoscalar, vector, radially and orbitally excited state meson masses. The Regge trajectories in the(J,M~2) and(nr,M~2) planes for heavy-light mesons are investigated with their corresponding parameters. Leptonic and radiative leptonic decay widths and corresponding branching ratios are computed. The mixing parameters are also estimated. Our predictions are in good agreement with experimental results as well as lattice and other theoretical models.

Gamma decay of the lowly excited states of 189Re

189W activities were produced via the 192Os(n, α) reaction using irradiation of isotopically enriched 192Os metallic powder of ～100 mg/cm2 with 14 MeV neutrons. The X-γ and γ-γ coincidence measurements were made so as to obtain γ rays from 189W decay and its coincidence relations. A new simple decay scheme of 189W including three γ rays of 210.2, 229.6 and 260.2 keV is proposed. Two new levels of 189Re at 470.4 and 489.8 keV are assigned.     

Spontaneous decay of excited atomic states near a carbon nanotube

The spontaneous decay process of an excited atom placed inside or outside a carbon nanotube is analyzed. Calculations have been performed for various achiral nanotubes. The effect of the nanotube surface is shown to increase the atomic spontaneous decay rate by up to 6 orders of magnitude compared with that of the same atom in vacuum. This increase is associated with nonradiative decay via surface excitations in the nanotube.     

Isospin effects upon the decay of highly excited nuclear states

It is proposed that T_< states which strongly mix with analog states to give states of mixed isospin results in the enhancement of the probability of proton decay from highly excited nuclear states. Such considerations are shown to explain the anomalies observed in the ($\text{p, n}\text{p}$) reactions.     

Regge closed string scattering and its implication on fixed angle closed string scattering

We calculate the complete closed string high energy scattering amplitudes (HSA) in the Regge regime for arbitrary mass levels. As an application, we deduce the complete ratios among closed string HSA in the fixed angle regime by using Stirling number identities. These results are in contrast with the incomplete set of closed string HSA in the fixed angle regime calculated previously. The complete forms of the fixed angle amplitudes, and hence the ratios, were not calculable previously without the input of zero-norm state calculation. This is mainly due to the lack of saddle point in the fixed angle closed string calculation.     

Semiclassical calculation of decay rates

Several relevant aspects of quantum-field processes can be well described by semiclassical methods. In particular, the knowledge of non-trivial classical solutions of the field equations, and the thermal and quantum fluctuations around them, provide non-perturbative information about the theory. In this work, we discuss the calculation of the one-loop effective action from the semiclasssical viewpoint. We intend to use this formalism to obtain an accurate expression for the decay rate of non-static metastable states.     

Investigation of the gamma decay of excited states in25Al

The gamma decay of the low-lying energy levels (E _x <4MeV) in²⁵Al has been studied through the²⁴Mg(p, γ)²⁵Al reaction using seven resonances in the proton energy rangeE _p +200?1700 keV. Ge(Li) detectors and isotopically separated targets have been used. Energies and branching ratios of several excited states have been measured. TheQ-value of the reaction was determined to be 2271.3±0.8 keV. Lifetimes, investigated by the Doppler-shift attenuation method and γ-ray angular distributions have been determined using theE _p +823, 1201, 1490 and 1660 keV resonances of the²⁴Mg(p, γ)²⁵Al reaction.
