B-Meson Wavefunction by a Comparative Analysis of the B → π, K Transition Form Factors

Properties of the B-meson light-cone wavefunction up to next-to-leading order Fock state expansion are studied by a comparative study of the B → π, K form factors within the kT factorization approach and the light-cone sum rule analysis. The form factors F＋,0,T^B→ π and F＋,0,T^B→ K are carefully re-calculated up to O（1/mb^2） within the kT factorization approach in the large recoil region. The QCD light-cone sum rule is applicable in the large and intermediate energy regions, and the QCD light-cone sum rule results in Ref. [12] are adopted for such a comparative study. It is found that when the two phenomenological parameters ∧^-∈ [0.50, 0.55] and δ∈ [0.25, 0.30], the results of F＋,0,T^B→ π （Q^2 ） and F＋,0,T^B→ K（Q ^2） from these two approaches are consistent with each other in the large recoil energy region.     

Semileptonic bc to cc and bb to bc baryon decays and heavy quark spin symmetry

We study the semileptonic decays of the lowest-lying bc baryons to the lowest-lying cc baryons （Ξ （＊） bc → Ξ （＊） cc and Ω （ ＊） bc → Ω （＊） cc ）,in the limit m b,m c Λ QCD and close to the zero recoil point.The separate heavy quark spin symmetries make it possible to describe all these decays using a single form factor.We also show how these constraints can be used to test the validity of different quark model calculations.bb to bc baryon decays are also discussed.     

B→K^＊у/Decay in Top-Quark Two-Higgs-Doublet Model

By employing the QCD factorization approach for the exclusive B→Vу decays, we study the exclusive decay B→K^＊у in the top-quark two-Higgs-doublet mode/（T2HDM）. Within the considered parameter space, we find the following conclusions （a） A hght charged-Higgs boson with a mass about 200 GeV is clearly excluded by the date of B→K^＊у decay, and this lower limit is comparable with that from the inclusive B→X8＊у decay; （b） The theoretical predictions for CP asymmetry of B→K^＊у in the T2HDM is always less than 1% in size; and （c） The isospin symmetry breaking for B→K^＊у decay in the SM and T2HDM considered here is around 6% in size and well consistent with the data and the general expectations.     

B→K Transition Form Factor with Tensor Current within the kT Factorization Approach

We apply the kT factorization approach to deal with the B→K transition form factor with tensor current in the large recoil regions. Main uncertainties for the estimation are discussed and we obtain FT^B→K （0） = 0.25±0.01±0.02, where the first error is caused by the uncertainties from the pionic wavefunctions and the second is from that of the B-meson wavefunctions. This result is consistent with the light-cone sum rule results obtained in the literature.     

Effects of Velocity-Dependent Force on the Magnetic Form Factors of Odd-Z Nuclei

We investigate the effects of the velocity-dependent force on the magnetic form factors and magnetic moments of odd-Z nuclei. The form factors are calculated with the harmonic-oscillator wavefunctions. It is found that the contributions of the velocity-dependent force manifest themselves in the very large momentum transfer region （q ≥ 4 fm^-1）. In the low and medium q region the contributions of the velocity-dependent force are very small compared with those without this force. However, in the high-q region the contributions of the velocity-dependent force are larger than the normal form factors. The diffraction structures beyond the existing experimental data are found after the contributions of the velocity-dependent force are included. The formula of the correction to the single particle magnetic moment due to the velocity-dependent force is reproduced exactly in the long-wavelength limit （q = 0） of the M1 form factor.     

Exclusive Semileptonic Rare Decays B → K^（＊）e＋e- in a Top Quark Two-Higgs-Doublet Model

Employing improved calculations of the decay form factors from light-cone sum rules, we evaluate the invariant mass spectrum, forward-backward asymmetry, and lepton polarizations of the exclusive processes B → K^（＊）e＋e- in the SM and T2HDM. From the recent measurements of their branching ratios, we find that these processes do provide additional bounds on the new parameters in the model considered here. After the inclusion of the new physics contributions, the large enhancement of FBA, which is unobservably small within the SM and of the lepton polarization at large tan β, may precisely test the SM or reveal new physics in forthcoming accurate experiments.     

Exclusive γ（＊）γ processes

A short review of experimental and theoretical results on the large angle cross sections ＂γγ→ twomesons＂ and the form factors γ＊γ→ P = {π, η, η＇} is given.     

Re-study of Nucleon Pole Contribution in J/ψ → NN^-π Decay

We re-study nucleon pole contribution in J/ψ → NN^-π decays by including the imaginary part for the propagator of the off-shell nucleon with energy above π N threshold. It is found that when including the imaginary part in the propagator, the branching ratio of the decay width will descend about 11% compared with the result without including the imaginary part, no matter whether including the off-shell form factors or not. It also leads to a phase of up to 25° for the off-shell nucleon propagator at invariant mass around 1400 MeV. This effect needs to be considered for detailed partial wave analysis of N^＊ resonances around this mass region.     

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.     

Semileptonic bc to cc and bb to bc baryon decays and heavy quark spin symmetry

We study the semileptonic decays of the lowest-lying bc baryons to the lowest-lying cc baryons (Ξ (*) bc →Ξ (*) cc and Ω ( *) bc →Ω (*) cc ),in the limit m b,m c Λ QCD and close to the zero recoil point.The separate heavy quark spin symmetries make it possible to describe all these decays using a single form factor.We also show how these constraints can be used to test the validity of different quark model calculations.bb to bc baryon decays are also discussed.     

Rare Decay B_c → D_s *μ~+ μ~- in a Family Non-Universal Z′ Model

Using the form factors calculated in the three-point QCD sum rules, we calculate the new physics contributions to the physical observables of B c → Ds* μ+ μ decay in a family non-universal Z′ model. Under the consideration of three cases of the new physics parameters, we find that: (a) the Z′ boson can provide large contributions to the differential decay rates; (b) the forward-backward asymmetry (FBA) can be increased by about 47%, 38%, and 110% at most in S1, S2, and extreme limit values (ELV), respectively. In addition, the zero crossing can be shifted in all the cases; (c) when s 0.08, the value of P L can be changed from 1 in the Standard Model (SM) to 0.5 in S1, 0.6 in S2, and 0 in extreme limit values, respectively; (d) the new physics corrections to P T will decrease the SM prediction about 25% for the cases of S1     

Electron Momentum Spectroscopy of the Frontier Orbitals of Chlorodifluoromethane

We report on the first measurement of the electron momentum distributions of the three outermost valence orbitals for chorodifluoromethane(CHF2Cl)by binary(e,2e) electron momentum spectroscopy.The experimental data are compared with Hartree-Fock and density functional theory(DFT) calculations employing 6-31G,6-311 G^** and AUG-cc-pVQZ basis sets.For the summed momentum distribution of 8α′ 5α″ 7α′ orbitals,the DFT/.AUG-cc-pVQZ calculation gives the best fit.A very large and diffuse basis set,AUG-cc-pVQZ,is employed in the calculations to approach the Hartree-Fock limit of the basis set,but the improvement of the calculation quality is little in comparison with that calculated with the 6-311 G^** basis set,This indicates that the 6-311 G^** basis set is nearly saturated for the calculations of these three orbitals of CHF2Cl,and it is unnecessary to employ a larger basis set in the calculations.     

Ground state for CH2 and symmetry for methane decomposition

Using the different level of methods B3P86, BLYP, B3PW91, HF, QCISD、 CASSCF （4,4） and MP2 with the various basis functions 6-311G^＊＊, D95, cc-pVTZ and DGDZVP, the calculations of this paper confirm that the ground state is X^-3B1 with C2v group for CH2. Furthermore, the three kinds of theoretical methods, i.e. B3P86、 CCSD（T, MP4） and G2 with the same basis set cc-pVTZ only are used to recalculate the zero-point energy revision which are modified by scaling factor 0.989 for the high level based on the virial theorem, and also with the correction for basis set superposition error. These results are also contrary to X^-3∑^-g for the ground state of CH2 in reference. Based on the atomic and molecular reaction statics, this paper proves that the decomposition type （1） i.e. CH4 →CH2＋H2, is forbidden and the decomposition type （2） i.e. CH4→CHa＋H is allowed for CH4. This is similar to the decomposition of SiH4.     

B_s → f_0 (980) Transition Form Factors Within the k_T Factorization Approach

In the paper, we apply the kT factorization approach to deal with the Bs → f0 (980) transition form factors in the large recoil regions, i.e. the small q 2 regions. For the purpose, we adopt the B-meson wave-functions ΨB , ΨB and δ that include the three-Fock states contributions to do our discussion. Although the scalar meson f0 (980) is widely perceived as the 4-quark bound state (scenario 2), but the distribution amplitudes of 4-quark states are still unknown to us, so we adopt 2-quark model (scenario 1) for scalar meson f0 (980) in our discussion. By varying the B-meson wave-function parameters within their reasonable regions, we obtain F0(0) = F+(0) = 0.20 ± 0.02, FT(0) = 0.24 ± 0.02. Our present results for these form factors are consistent with the light-cone sum rule results obtained in the literature.     

Study of K（892） mass and width splitting caused by model difference

According to the new K^＊（892）^0 and K^＊（892）^- masses reported by the BELLE experiment and the K^＊（892）^0 mass reported by the FOCUS experiment, mass splitting between neutral and charged K^＊（892） becomes very small. This is significantly different from the current world average values given by the Particle Data Group 2008. We find that there are differences between models used to fit the K^＊（892） decay invariant mass spectra in different measurements and study the model dependence in the measurement of K^＊（892） parameters. We refit the K^＊（892）^0 mass spectra of the BELLE and FOCUS experiments with the formula used by BELLE in fitting K^＊（892）^- to get new mass and width. After refitting, the K^＊（892）^0 mass of the BELLE experiment becomes 1.4 MeV/c^2 larger than the initial value and that of the FOCUS experiment is 1 MeV/c^2 smaller than the initial value. We also fit the spectra of some other experiments to extract the K^＊ （892） parameters using the BELLE K^＊ （892）^- parametrization.     

Study of singlet-triplet mixing via semileptonic decays

The singlet-triplet mixing of ¹P₁-3P1 is studied via calculating the branching ratios of semileptonic decay Bs→D_s1lν and B→D₁ lν by means of the instantaneous Bethe-Salpeter method. Special attention is paid to the relativistic corrections, since they are large for the P -wave states. Using the Mandelstam Formalism, we compute the transition form factors not only in the high-energy lepton end-point region but also in the full Q2 region. In addition, the non-perturbative QCD effects are taken care of in the overlapping integral over the relativistic wave functions of the initial and final states.     

B→ηK and B→φKs Decays in the Two Higgs Doublet Model Ⅲ

Using the QCD factorization approach, we investigate the large branching ratios of B→ηK^＊ decays and the SCKs anomaly of B→φKs decay in the two Higgs doublet model Ⅲ. With the contributions of flavour-changing neutral current mediated by the neutral Higgs bosons H^0, h^0 and A^0 at the tree level, we provide a coherent resolution to these anomalies within the constrained parameter spaces, which are 120 〈｜λbs λss｜ 〈136. This will be really interesting in searching for the signs of new physics.     

Optimizing Higgs factories by modifying the recoil mass

It is difficult to measure the WW-fusion Higgs production process(e~+e~-→νh)at a lepton collider with a center of mass energy of 240-250 Ge V due to its small rate and the large background from the Higgsstrahlung process with an invisible Z(e~+e~-→h Z,Z→ν).We construct a modified recoil mass variable,m~p_(recoil),defined using only the 3-momentum of the reconstructed Higgs particle,and show that it can separate the WW-fusion and Higgsstrahlung events better than the original recoil mass variable m_(recoil).Consequently,the m~p_(recoil)variable can be used to improve the overall precisions of the extracted Higgs couplings,in both the conventional framework and the effective-field-theory framework.We also explore the application of the m~p_(recoil)variable in the inclusive cross section measurements of the Higgsstrahlung process,while a quantitive analysis is left for future studies.     

Comparative studies of open and master equation qubit via Bloch equation of Redfield form

In this paper, we investigate the dynamics of an open qubit model by solving two sets of its reduced dynamical equations. One set of the equations is the well-known Bloch equations and the other is the widely investigated master equations of Redfield form. Both of them are obtained from the perturbation approximation which demands the system of interest weakly coupled to its environment. It is shown that the qubit has a longer decoherence and relaxiation time as the dynamics is described by the Redfield equantions.     

Analytical model of signal amplification in silicon waveguides

In this paper, an analytical model to investigate the parametric amplification (PA) and the PA + stimulated Raman scattering (SRS) in silicon waveguides is put forward. When two pump signals are employed, the PA bandwidth of the probe signal is so large that the Raman contribution has to be considered. When Raman contribution fraction f is set to be 0, only the PA occurs to amplify the probe signal, and when f is set to be 0.043, the PA and the SRS amplify the probe signal at the same time. The signal amplifications of both single and dual pump schemes are investigated by using this model. With this model, three main affecting factors, i.e., zero dispersion wavelength (ZDWL), third-order dispersion (TOD), and fourth-order dispersion (FOD), are discussed in detail.
