New limits for the exotic exchange reaction π−p → K+Σ− at 5 and 8 GeV

Measurement of the exotic exchange reaction π^?p → K⁺Σ^? has been performed at 5 and 8 GeV, in the ?0.015 to ?0.13 and ?0.009 to ?0.15 (GeV/c)² range of t repectively. We give the value near t = 0 of the differential cross section at 5 GeV, 21_?21⁺⁷⁶ nb/(GeV/c)², and an upper limit (< 37 nb/GeV/c)²) at 8 GeV. As a check the measured differential cross section is given at both energies for the reaction π⁺p → K⁺Σ⁺ in the same range of t.     

The branching ratio for K−p → Λγ at rest

The reaction K^?p → Λγ, produced by K^? stopping in a liquid hydrogen target, has been studied using a NaI(Tl) gamma-ray spectrometer. The branching ratio is

$\text{K}{}^{\mathrm{?}}\text{p}\text{→Λγ}\text{K}{}^{\mathrm{?}}\text{p}\text{→}\text{anything}\text{=(2.8±0.8)×10}{}^{\mathrm{?3}}$

based on 1355 events assigned to this branch. This is in conflict with a previous experiment, but agrees with one of the two published calculations, when recent values for the coupling constants and scattering amplitudes are used.     

A study of K−π+ scattering in the reaction K−p→K−π+n at 11 GeV/c

Results from a high statistics study of the reaction K⁻p→K⁻π⁺n are presented. These results are based on data obtained with an 11 GeV/c beam using the LASS spectrometer at SLAC. The mass dependence of the spherical harmonic moments provides clear evidence for the production of the complete leading orbitally excited K¹ series up through J^P = 5⁻. These moments are used to perform an energy independent partial wave analysis of the K⁻π⁺ system from threshold to 2.6 GeV/c² using a t-dependent parametrization of the production amplitudes. The amplitudes corroborate the leading K¹(892), K₂¹(1430), K₃¹(1780), K₄¹(2060), and K₅¹(2380) resonances observed directly in the moments, and also provide new evidence for underlying states. The 0⁺ amplitude contains the K₀¹(1350) and a second 0⁺K¹(1950) at higher mass. The 1⁻K¹(1790) seen earlier two and three-body analyses is confirmed, and evidence is provided for suppressed K⁻π⁺ decay mode of a second 1⁻ state, the K¹(1410), which has been seen in earlier three-body analyses.     

Measurement of the branching ratios for the decays J/ψ → ϱπ and J/ψ → γη′

Decays of the J/ψ (3.1) resonance into final states with two charged hadrons and two photons are investigated. Branching ratios for the decays J/ψ → ?π and J/ψ → γη′ are determined to be

$\text{Г(J/ψ → pφ)}\text{Г(J/ψ → all)}\text{= (1.0± 0.2) ·10}{}^{\mathrm{?2}}\text{,}\text{Г(J/ψ → γη′)}\text{ГJ/ψ → all)}\text{= (2.0± 0.7) ·}{}^{\mathrm{?3}}$

Upper limits for the same decay modes of ψ′ (3.7) are also determined.     

A study ofK + p elastic scattering and reactionK + p→K + pπ+π− at 70 GeV/c

Results are presented onK ⁺ p elastic scattering and on the reactionK ⁺ p→K ⁺ pπ⁺π^? at 70 GeV/c. For the elastic channel, we measured the total ((2.29±0.04)mb) and differentialdσ/dt cross sections. The reactionK ⁺ p→K ⁺ pπ⁺π^? has a total cross section of (470±23) μb and is shown to be dominated by diffractive dissociation processes. The contributions of the quasi-two-body channels $$K^ + p \to K*^0 (890)\Delta ^{ + + } (1,236)$$ and $$K^ + p \to K*^0 (1,430)\Delta ^{ + + } (1,236)$$ and of the Double-Pomeron Exchange (DPE) processes are estimated.     

Effect of unitarization on the amplitudes for the decays K10 → π+π? and K+ → π+π+π?

The unitarization of the amplitude for the decay process K ₁⁰ → π⁺π⁻ and allowance for the rescattering of final-state pions in the decay process K ⁺ → π⁺π⁺π⁻ make it possible to evaluate, by using the parameters extracted from data on K → 2π decays, the K ⁺ → π⁺π⁺π⁻ decay width. The result agrees with the experimental width value at a level of a few percent. Allowance for corrections for higher order terms of the momentum expansion of the amplitude for the decay process K ⁺ → π⁺π⁺π⁻ leads to the slope-parameter value of g ₊₊₋^th = 0.2182, which agrees with its experimental counterpart, g ₊₊₋^exp = 0.2154 ± 0.0035.

Vibration-rotation and deperturbation analysis of A2Π-X2Σ+ and B2Σ+-X2Σ+ systems of the CaI molecule

Doppler-limited laser excitation spectroscopy employing narrow-band fluorescence detection was used to obtain a rotational and vibrational analysis in the (0, 0) and (1, 1) bands of the A²Π-X²Σ⁺ system and the (4, 2) (3, 1), (0, 0), (0, 1), (1, 2), (2, 3), and (3, 4) bands of the B²Σ⁺-X²Σ⁺ system of CaI. The A and B states are deperturbed to obtain spectroscopic constants and Franck-Condon factors. Deperturbation was necessary because of the small separation of the A and B states relative to the A ～ B interaction strength and the A²Π spin-orbit splitting. The main deperturbed constants (in cm^?1) are

Measurements of charged kaon semileptonic decay branching fractions K^±→π⁰μ^±ν and K^±→π⁰e^±ν and their ratio     

《The European Physical Journal C - Particles and Fields》2007,52(4):1021-1023

In an earlier paper [1], the background for K_e3 was over estimated due to an erroneous calculation of the electron identification efficiency. The correct ratios of the partial widths involving this channel are and . Assuming the PDG value [2] for the K_2π branching ratio, the measured branching fraction of Br (K_e3) continues to exceed the current PDG value [2]. The extracted value of |V_us|f₊(0) is in agreement with the CKM unitary prediction; thus, our conclusions in [1] do not change. The online version of the original article can be found at

Measured ratios of decay rates for , and are presented. These measurements are based on K^± decays collected in a dedicated run in 2003 by the NA48/2 experiment at CERN. The results obtained are and . Using the PDG average for the K^±→π^±π⁰ normalisation mode, both values are found to be larger than the current values given by the particle data book and lead to a larger magnitude of the |V_us| CKM element than previously accepted. When combined with the latest particle data book value of |V_ud|, the result is in agreement with unitarity of the CKM matrix. In addition, a new measured value of is compared to the semi-empirical predictions based on the latest form factor measurements. An erratum to this article can be found at

Reaction e ⁺ e ^? → π ⁺ π ^? π ⁺ π ^? at energies of √ s ≤ 1 GeV     

N. N. Achasov  A. A. Kozhevnikov 《JETP Letters》2008,88(1):1-4

The e ⁺ e ⁻ → π ⁺ π ⁻ π ⁺ π ⁻ cross section is calculated for energies of 0.65 ≤ √s ≤ 1 GeV in the framework of the generalized hidden local symmetry model. The calculations are compared with the data of CMD-2 and BaBaR. It is shown that the inclusion of heavy isovector resonances ρ(1450) and ρ(1700) is necessary for reconciling calculations with the data. It is found that, at √s ≈ 1 GeV, the contributions of the above resonances are much larger, by a factor of 30, than the ρ(770) one, and amount to a considerable fraction ∼0.3–0.6 of the latter at √s ∼ m _ρ.

P.F. Bernath  R.W. Field  B. Pinchemel  Y. Lefebvre  J. Schamps 《Journal of Molecular Spectroscopy》1981,88(1):175-193

Laser excitation spectra have been recorded for Ca⁷⁹Br and Ca⁸¹Br in the spectral region 600–630 nm. The use of a 1-m monochromator as a narrow band pass filter (1–2 cm^?1) has allowed rotational analysis of the 0-0, 1-1, and 2-2 bands of the B²Σ⁺ - X²Σ⁺ transition and the 0-0 and 1-1 bands of the A²Π - X²Σ⁺ transition. A few additional lines of the 0-1, 1-2, 1-0, and 2-1 bands of the B-X system were used to obtain band origins for vibrational analysis. The main constants for Ca⁷⁹Br are (in cm^?1):

ESR aspects of the Mn²⁺−Cu²⁺ coupled pair     

E. Buluggiu 《Journal of Physics and Chemistry of Solids》1980,41(1):43-45

Recent ESR experimental data on Mn²⁺?Cu²⁺ pairs, obtained by doping with manganese the dimeric Cu (pyridine N-oxide) Cl₂·.H₂O complex, are interpreted by means of a strong isotropic exchange model. Theg values of the pair and the hyperfine constants at the manganese and copper nuclei, for the observed effective spin S = 2, are given by the relations

$\text{g =}\text{7}\text{6}\text{g}{}_{\mathrm{Mn}}\text{?}\text{1}\text{6}\text{g}{}_{\mathrm{Cu}}$

,

$\text{A}\text{?}{}_{\mathrm{Mn}}\text{=}\text{7}\text{6}\text{A}{}_{\mathrm{Mn}}\text{,}\text{A}\text{?}{}_{\mathrm{Cu}}\text{= ?}\text{1}\text{6}\text{A}{}_{\mathrm{Cu}}$

, where g_Mn, g_Cu,A_Mn and A_Cu are the characteristic single-ion values for the quoted constants. The antiferromagnetic coupling between the Mn²⁺ spin $\text{(}\text{5}\text{2}\text{)}$ and the Cu²⁺ spin $\text{(}\text{1}\text{2}\text{)}$ is responsible for the observed g values, all measurably lower than the free electron value. Also to be noted are the enhancement of the hyperfine constant at the manganese nucleus, and the curious change of sign for that at the copper nucleus.

First exclusive data for the $\ensuremath{pp \to nn\pi^+\pi^+}$ reaction have been obtained at CELSIUS with the WASA detector setup at a beam energy of T_p = 1.1 GeV. Total and differential cross-sections disagree with theoretical calculations, which predict the $ \Delta$ $ \Delta$ excitation to be the dominant process at this beam energy. Instead, the data require the excitation of one of the nucleons to a higher-lying $ \Delta$ state, preferably the $\ensuremath{\Delta(1600)P_{33}}$ , to be the leading process.
