Weak radiative decay of baryons

The decay amplitudes and asymmetry parameters for weak radiative decay of baryons are calculated in both pole model and quark model. It is demonstrated that both models give the same results and the results satisfy the symmetry relations we have derived recently. The agreement of the theoretical prediction with the presently measured decay rates and asymmetry is quite good in view of uncertainty in the calculation.     

On the radiative pion decay

A reanalysis of the radiative pion decay together with the calculation of the radiative corrections within chiral perturbation theory (CHPT) is performed. The amplitude of this decay contains an inner Bremsstrahlung contribution and a structure-dependent part, which are both accessible in experiments. In order to obtain a reliable estimate of the hadronic contributions we combine the CHPT result with a large-N_c expansion and experimental data on other decays, which makes it possible to determine the occurring coupling constants.

Observation of the neutron radiative decay

The aim of this work is the experimental observation of and research into a rare neutron mode, the radiative beta decay, where a new particle, the radiative gamma quantum, is formed along with the expected decay products: a beta electron, a recoil proton, and an antineutrino. The discovery of this rare neutron decay mode was conducted through identification of triple-coincidence events: simultaneous registration of a beta electron, a proton, and a radiative gamma quantum. The ordinary neutron decay was registered by double coincidences of a beta electron and a recoil proton. The statistics collected allow one to deduce the branching ratio (BR) BR = (3.2 ± 1.6) × 10⁻³ (90% C.L.) in the gamma energy region greater than 35 keV. This value of BR is consistent with standard electroweak theory. The text was submitted by the authors in English. An erratum to this article is available at .     

Vector meson radiative decay in lattice QCD

The amplitude for radiative decay of vector mesons is calculated in quenched lattice quantum chromodynamics using the Wilson scheme for fermions. The calculated decay strengths are consistently smaller than experimentally measured values at all values of the quark mass.     

Revisiting radiative leptonic B decay

In this paper, we summarize the existing methods of solving the evolution equation of the leading-twist \begin{document}$B$\end{document}-meson LCDA. Then, in the Mellin space, we derive a factorization formula with next-to-leading-logarithmic (NLL) resummation for the form factors \begin{document}$F_{A,V}$\end{document} in the \begin{document}$B \to \gamma \ell\nu$\end{document} decay at leading power in \begin{document}$\Lambda/m_b$\end{document}. Furthermore, we investigate the power suppressed local contributions, factorizable non-local contributions (which are suppressed by \begin{document}$1/E_\gamma$\end{document} and \begin{document}$1/m_b$\end{document}), and soft contributions to the form factors. In the numerical analysis, which employs the two-loop-level hard function and the jet function, we find that both the resummation effect and the power corrections can sizably decrease the form factors. Finally, the integrated branching ratios are also calculated for comparison with future experimental data.     

Form factors in the radiative pion decay

We perform an analysis of the form factors that rule the structure-dependent amplitude in radiative pion decay. The resonance contributions to π→eν_eγ decays are computed through the proper construction of the vector and axial-vector form factors by setting the QCD driven asymptotic properties of the three-point Green functions 〈VVP〉 and 〈VAP〉, and by demanding the smoothening of the form factors at high transfer of momentum. A comparison between theoretical and experimental determination of the form factors is also carried out. We also consider and evaluate the role played by a non-standard tensor form factor. We conclude that, at present and due to the hadronic uncertainties, the search for new physics in this process is not feasible. PACS 11.15.Pg; 12.38.-t; 12.39.Fe     

On the massive Dirac neutrino radiative decay

The presence of right-handed currents and left-right mixing contributes to the neutrino radiative decay amplitude a term that is directly proportional to the charged lepton mass. This has led to the suggestion that observable decays of relic neutrinos might occur in the left-right model or the mirror model. Explicit calculations in these models are carried out including a careful analysis of the origin of neutrino mass, here assumed to be a Dirac mass. It is found that the amplitude is proportional to the neutrino mass and thus too small to be of interest. A brief comment on the neutrino magnetic moment in anSU(2) _L ×U(1) _Y model, which contains an iso-singlet charged scalar η⁺, is also presented.     

The radiative photino decay into a higgsino

The radiative decay of the photino (γ&#x0304;) to a higgsino (H?) is calculated in the minimal supersymmetric electroweak theory coupled to N = 1 supergravity. From the recent analyses on two photon production at PETRA, we find that the possibility that $\text{m}{}_{\mathrm{<mtext>H</mtext><mtext>?</mtext>}}\text{/m}{}_{\mathrm{<mtext>\gamma </mtext><mtext>?</mtext>}}\text{<1}$ is almost excluded, unless $\text{m}{}_{\mathrm{<mtext>\gamma </mtext><mtext>?</mtext>}}\text{?}\text{O}\text{(20)}\text{GeV}$. We also calculated the cross section for $\text{e}{}^{\mathrm{+}}\text{e}{}^{\mathrm{-}}\text{→}\text{γ}\text{?}\text{→γ}\text{H}\text{?}\text{+γ}\text{H}\text{?}$ as a function of photon energy.

On the stimulated radiative decay of metastable states

I discuss the possibility of observing stimulated gamma emission by direct transition from long-lived metastable states of isomer nuclei, considering the effects of surplus emission-line broadening, so-called “laser lethargy,” and so on. A scenario and the configuration of an eventual experiment are presented.
