ψ(4040) and ψ(4160) Decays into the Dd± Ds∓$ D_{d}^{\pm } D_{s}^{\mp }$ Pair and the S- D Mixing Effects

The ψ(4040) and ψ(4160) →\(D_{d}^{\pm }D_{s}^{\mp }\) decays are studied with the perturbative QCD approach phenomenologically. It is found that branching ratios for these decays are insensitive to the S-D mixing angle ?? ∈ [?30^°,30^°], and too tiny to be measured in the near future experiments.     

Neutron Pairing Correlations in an {\alpha}–{n}–{n} Three-Cluster Model of the {^{6}}He Nucleus

An \({\alpha}\)–n–n three-cluster model of the \({^6}\)He nucleus is studied by solving the Faddeev equations, where the cluster potential between \({\alpha}\) and n takes into account the Pauli exclusion correction, using the Fish-Bone Optical Model (Schmid in Z Phys A 297:105, 1980). The resulting binding energy of the ground state (\({0^+}\)) is 0.831 MeV and the resonance energy of the first excited state (\({2^+}\)), 0.60–i0.012 MeV, is extracted from the three-cluster break-up threshold. These theoretical values are in reasonable agreement with the experimental data: 0.973 MeV and 0.824–i0.056 MeV, respectively. In order to investigate the structure of these states, we calculate the angle density matrix for the \({\angle n_1 \alpha n_2}\) angle in the triangle formed by the three clusters. The angle density matrix of the ground state has two peaks and the configuration of \({0^+}\) wave function corresponding to the peaks constitutes a mixture of an acute-angled triangle structure and an obtuse-angled one. This finding is consistent with the former result from a variational approach (Hagino and Sagawa in Phys Rev C 72:044321, 2005). On the other hand, in the case of \({2^+}\) state only a single peak is obtained.     

A fresh look at η 2(1645), η 2(1870), η 2(2030) and f 2(1910) in \bar{p}p \to \eta \pi ^{0}\pi ^{0}\pi ^{0}

There is a large discrepancy between results of Crystal Barrel and WA102 for the branching ratio R=BR[η ₂(1870)→a ₂(1320)π]/BR[η ₂(1870)→f ₂(1270)η]. An extensive re-analysis of the Crystal Barrel data redetermines branching ratios for decays of η ₂(1870), η ₂(1645), η ₂(2030) and f ₂(1910). This re-analysis confirms a small value for R of 1.60±0.39, inconsistent with the value 20.4±6.6 of WA102. The likely origin of the discrepancy is that the WA102 data contain a strong f ₂(1910)→a ₂ π signal as well as η ₂(1870). There is strong evidence that the η ₂(1870) has resonant phase variation. A peak in f ₂(1270)a ₀(980) confirms closely the parameters of the a ₂(2255) resonance observed previously. A peak in η ₂(2030)π is interpreted naturally in terms of π ₂(2245) with reduced errors for mass and width M=2285±20(stat)±25(syst) MeV, Γ=250±20(stat)±25(syst) MeV.     

Hadronic η and $ \eta{^\prime}$ decays

The hadronic decays η, ↦3π and ↦ηππ are investigated within the framework of U(3) chiral effective field theory in combination with a relativistic coupled-channels approach. Final state interactions are included by deriving s- and p-wave interaction kernels for meson-meson scattering from the chiral effective Lagrangian and iterating them in a Bethe-Salpeter equation. Very good overall agreement with currently available data on decay widths and spectral shapes is achieved.     

A 480 ms isomeric 29/2−-state of the(p_{1/2}^{ - 2} )_{0^ + } f_{5/2}^{ - 1} (i_{13/2}^{ - 2} )_{12^ + } configuration in203Pb

A new, 480 ms, 29/2^? isomeric level has been found in²⁰³Pb at an excitation energy of 2950.1 keV by bombarding²⁰⁴Hg with α-particles in the energy range 45–55 MeV using the Stockholm 225-cm cyclotron. This 29/2^? state is suggested to be mainly due to the configuration (p ₁ ^2/?2 f ₅ ^2/?1 i ₁₃ ^2/?2 )₁₂. The 29/2^? state decays predominantly by a 153.4 keV M2 transition to a 23/2^? level and by a 1027.5 keV M4 transition to a 21/2⁺ level, followed by two E2 transitions of energies 258.6 keV and 838.7 keV, respectively, to the previously known 13/2⁺, 6.4 s isomeric level. The decay scheme of the 29/2^? isomeric state is based on experimental information obtained from total and delayedγ-ray intensities,γγ-coincidences, excitation functions, lifetime and delayed conversion electron measurements. The presence of the 29/2^? level confirms an essential and expected feature of the shell model for five neutron holes added to the²⁰⁸Pb-core.     

Spin density matrix of the $$\omega $$ in the reaction $${\bar{p}p}\,\rightarrow \,\omega \pi ^0$$p¯p→π0

The spin density matrix of the \(\omega \) has been determined for the reaction \({\bar{p}p}\,\rightarrow \,\omega \pi ^0\) with unpolarized in-flight data measured by the Crystal Barrel LEAR experiment at CERN. The two main decay modes of the \(\omega \) into \(\pi ^0 \gamma \) and \(\pi ^+ \pi ^- \pi ^0\) have been separately analyzed for various \({\bar{p}}\)momenta between 600 and 1940 MeV/c. The results obtained with the usual method by extracting the matrix elements via the \(\omega \) decay angular distributions and with the more sophisticated method via a full partial wave analysis are in good agreement. A strong spin alignment of the \(\omega \) is clearly visible in this energy regime and all individual spin density matrix elements exhibit an oscillatory dependence on the production angle. In addition, the largest contributing orbital angular momentum of the \({\bar{p}p~}\)system has been identified for the different beam momenta. It increases from \(L^{max}_{{\bar{p}p~}}\) \(=\) 2 at 600 MeV/c to \(L^{max}_{{\bar{p}p~}}\) \(=\) 5 at 1940 MeV/c.

Studies of the {\boldsymbol{\bar{K}}}\boldsymbol{N} interaction at DAΦNE

AMADEUS is an experiment planned to be performed at the DAΦNE e⁺e^? collider of the Frascati National Laboratories (Italy) of INFN, to investigate the antikaon-nuclei interaction at low energies. AMADEUS will perform, for the first time, full-acceptance studies of antikaon interaction in light nuclei, including a complete experimental program for the case of the kaonic nuclear clusters. The study of the absorption of antikaon by the nucleus will provide information concerning the $\bar{K}N$ interaction and the modification of the kaon mass in the nuclear medium. The experiment is being preceded by the study of the hadronic interactions of K^? in the ⁴He of the drift chamber from the KLOE experiment data.     

Regularity and Existence of Global Solutions to the Ericksen–Leslie System in {\mathbb{R}^2}

In this paper, we first establish the regularity theorem for suitable weak solutions to the Ericksen–Leslie system in \({\mathbb{R}^2}\) . Building on such a regularity, we then establish the existence of a global weak solution to the Ericksen–Leslie system in \({\mathbb{R}^2}\) for any initial data in the energy space, under the physical constraints on the Leslie coefficients ensuring the dissipation of energy of the system, which is smooth away from at most finitely many times. This extends earlier works by Lin et al. (Arch Ration Mech Anal 197:297–336, 2010) on a simplified nematic liquid crystal flow to the general Ericksen–Leslie system.     

Dielectronic recombination rate coefficients for the Ni ${\sf I}$ isoelectronic sequence

Ab initio calculations of the total dielectronic recombination (DR) rate coefficients for thirteen ions along the NiI isoelectronic sequence in the ground state (Kr⁸⁺, Mo¹⁴⁺, Ag¹⁹⁺, Sn²²⁺, Xe²⁶⁺, Nd³²⁺, Gd³⁶⁺, Yb⁴²⁺, W⁴⁶⁺, Au⁵¹⁺, Pb⁵⁴⁺, At⁵⁷⁺, and U⁶⁴⁺) have been performed using the flexible atomic code. The level-by-level calculations are performed for evaluating the DR contributions through the relevant Cu-like autoionizing inner-shell excited 3l¹⁷4l^′n^′′l^′′ and 3l¹⁷5l^′n^′′l^′′ configuration complexes with n^′′ ≤15, which are associated with Δn=1 and Δn=2 core-excitations, respectively. The usual (n^′′)^-3 scaling law is found to be invalid for low-Z ions. A level-by-level extrapolation procedure is employed to obtain the contributions through higher n^′′ complexes. The decays to autoionizing levels followed possibly by radiative cascades could enlarge the rates at relatively high temperature by a factor up to about 23%. For the whole isoelectronic ions the contributions from 3s²3p⁶3d⁹ 4l^′n^′′l^′′ dominate the total DR rates while the contributions from the 3s²3p⁶3d⁹ 5l^′n^′′l^′′ configuration complexes are about 10-20% at relatively high temperature. On the basis of the calculated results, a general analytic formula for the total DR rate coefficients of all the ions with 36≤Z ≤92 along the NiI isoelectronic sequence is constructed. The comparisons of the rates obtained from the general formula with those from the detailed calculations show that the formula is of high precision, generally better than 3% accuracy for electron temperatures kT≥0.1E_I, where E_I is the ionization energy of the Cu-like ion. The present DR rates at temperature above 1.0E_I are larger than the previously published data by a factor above 30%. The commonly used semiempirical formula proposed by Burgess and modified by Merts may overestimate the rates at high temperature by a factor of about 2 for low-Z ions.     

Three-dimensional parton distribution functions g1T and $h_{1L}^{\perp}$ in the polarized proton–antiproton Drell–Yan process

We present predictions of the unweighted and weighted double spin asymmetries related to the transversal helicity distribution g _1T and the longitudinal transversity distribution h_1L^{^}h_{1L}^{\perp}, two of eight leading-twist transverse momentum dependent parton distributions (TMDs) or three-dimensional parton distribution functions (3dPDFs), in the polarized proton–antiproton Drell–Yan process at typical kinematics on the Facility for Antiproton and Ion Research (FAIR). We conclude that FAIR is ideal to access the new 3dPDFs toward a detailed picture of the nucleon structure.     

Measurement of $D_s ^+$ meson production in Z decays and of the ${⋏r B}_s ^0$ lifetime

$D_s ^+$ mesons produced in Z⁰ → bb? events were separated from the Z⁰ → cc? component using a lifetime tag. Using a sample of 1.5 million hadronic Z decays collected with the Aleph detector the ${?r B}_s ^0$ and $D_s ^+$ yields have been measured: $$?trix {B(b?ghtarrow {?r B}_s ^0)B({?r B}_s ^0?ghtarrow D_s ^+)=0.088pm 0.020(? stat.)? pm 0.020(? syst.)? B(c?ghtarrow D_s ^+)=0.128pm 0.019(? stat.)_{-0.016} ^{+0.019}(? syst.)}$$ The ${?r B}_s ^0$ lifetime was measured in a ${?r B}_s ^0$ enriched sample reconstructing the decay length from the vertex of the $D_s ^+$ with a hadron from the ${?r B}_s ^0$ decay. The result obtained is: $${?u_B}_s=1.61_{-0.29} ^{+0.30}(? stat.)_{-0.16} ^{+0.18}(? syst.) {? ps.}$$     

The Decrease of the ESEEM Frequency of $${\text{P}}_{700}^{ + } {\text{A}}_{1}^{ - }$$ Ion-Radical Pair in Photosystem I Embedded in Trehalose Glassy Matrix at Room Temperature can be Explained by Acceleration of Spin–Lattice Relaxation

The main observation in this work is a decrease in the modulation frequency of the primary electron spin-echo decay (ESEEM) of the \({\text{P}}_{ 7 0 0}^{ + }\) cofactor in the reaction center of Photosystem I (PS I) from cyanobacteria Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803 embedded in dry trehalose matrix as the temperature rises from 150 K to room temperature. From the previous studies of the EPR spectrum shape of this system, it is known that, in dry trehalose matrix at room temperature, the distance between \({\text{P}}_{ 7 0 0}^{ + }\) and \({\text{A}}_{ 1}^{ - }\) spins does not increase compared to the distance measured in glycerol–water solution at cryogenic temperature. From the present ESEEM study, we conclude that the decrease of modulation frequency with rising temperature in trehalose matrix can be fully attributed to the influence of accelerated spin–lattice relaxation of \({\text{A}}_{ 1}^{ - }\). Our calculations show that this requires a decrease in the spin–lattice relaxation time from 3 to 1 μs. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first time that a shift in the ESEEM frequency due to the dipole–dipole interaction between the spins is observed that is caused by spin–lattice relaxation. Based on the above-mentioned results, we formulate a model of the protective effect of trehalose matrix on the electron transfer in the reaction center of PS I that is based on different hydrogen-bond networks between trehalose, local water, and protein.     

A complete $\mathcal{O}(\alpha_{\mathrm{S}}^{2})$ calculation of the signal–background interference for the Higgs diphoton decay channel

We analyze a noncommutative model of BTZ spacetime based on deformation of the standard symplectic structure of phase space, i.e., a modification of the standard commutation relations among coordinates and momenta in phase space. We find a BTZ-like solution that is nonperturbative in the non-trivial noncommutative structure. It is shown that the use of deformed commutation relations in the modified non-canonical phase space eliminates the horizons of the standard metric.     

The structures and properties of FeSin/FeSi\hbox{$_{\mathsf{n}}^{+}$}+n/FeSi\hbox{$_{\mathsf{n}}^{-}$}−n (n = 1 ~ 8) clusters

The geometry, stability, and electronic properties of iron-doped silicon clusters FeSi _n /FeSi\hbox{$_{n}^{+}$}+n/FeSi\hbox{$_{n}^{-}$}?n (n = 1 ~ 8) have been systematically investigated using the density functional theory (DFT) approach at the B3LYP/6-311+G* level. Our results show that the ground state structures of FeSi _n /FeSi\hbox{$_{n}^{+}$}+n/FeSi\hbox{$_{n}^{-}$}?n change from planar to three-dimensional for n > 3. Bipyramidal structures, or their face-capped isomers, are favored for the larger clusters. For neutral FeSi _n clusters, their ground state structures are the trigonal, tetragonal, capped tetragonal, capped pentagonal, and combined tetragonal bipyramids for n = 4 ~ 8, respectively. The lowest-energy structures of the anionic FeSi\hbox{$_{n}^{-}$}?n clusters essentially retain similar frameworks to their neutral counterparts, while those of the cationic FeSi\hbox{$_{n}^{+}$}+n clusters are significantly deformed; this is confirmed by their calculated ionization potential and electronic affinity values. For most of the stable structures, the spin electronic configurations are s = 1 or 2 for neutral FeSi _n , s = 3/2 or 5/2 for ionic FeSi\hbox{$_{n}^{+}$}+n/FeSi\hbox{$_{n}^{-}$}?n. The average binding energy values generally increase with increasing cluster size, indicating the clusters can continue to gain energy during the growth process. Fragmentation and second-order energy peaks (maxima) are found at n = 2, 5, and 7 for FeSi _n /FeSi\hbox{$_{n}^{-}$}?n, n = 4 and 6 for FeSi\hbox{$_{n}^{+}$}+n, suggesting that these clusters possess higher relative stability. Furthermore, the HOMO-LUMO gap values show that anionic FeSi\hbox{$_{n}^{-}$}?n have greater chemical reactivity than cationic FeSi\hbox{$_{n}^{+}$}+n and neutral FeSi _n , except when n = 7.     

The 3–3–1 Model with RH Neutrinos and Associated ZH Production at High-Energy ${\bf \textit{e}}^{+}{\bf \textit{e}}^{-}$ Collider

In the context of SU(3) _C ?? SU(3) _L ?? U(1) _X (3–3–1) model with right-handed neutrinos, we study the Higgsstrahlung process e ^?+? e ^???→ZH and calculate the cross section of this process at leading order. Our numerical results showed that the production cross sections for this process can be significantly large as \(M_{Z'}\approx \sqrt{s}\). With reasonable values of the Z′ mass M _Z′, Z′ exchange can generate large corrections to the cross sections of this process, which might be detected in the future high-energy linear e ^?+? e ^??? collider experiments.
