Regularization of singular terms in the N¯ potential model

We suggest a method of singular terms regularization in a potential model of the N¯ interaction. This method is free from uncertainties related to the usual cut-off procedure and is based on the fact that, in the presence of sufficiently strong short-range annihilation, N and ¯ never approach close enough to each other. In such a case the low-energy scattering is shown to be fully determined by the OBEP tail, while any details of the short-range core of the N¯ interaction are excluded from the observables. The obtained results for S- and P-wave scattering lengths are in agreement with the well-established theoretical models.     

Bounds to the differential cross-section for the processes p¯p→π+ −

Using scattering data, the integrated cross-section for p¯p^+–, and unitarity, we derive upper bounds to the differential cross-section for p¯p^{+ –}. Comparison with experimental data shows that in general the bounds are several times larger than the measured value, but that at certain points this factor is only about two or three.Presented at the Symposium on Hadron-Hadron Scattering at High Energies, Liblice, Czechoslovakia, June 16–21, 1975.I would like to thank Dr. A.

Event excess in the MiniBooNE search for ¯νμ→¯νe oscillations

The MiniBooNE experiment at Fermilab reports results from a search for ˉν_{μ}→ˉν_{e} oscillations, using a data sample corresponding to 5.66×102? protons on target. An excess of 20.9±14.0 events is observed in the energy range 475相似文献   

p¯p Annihilation into two mesons in the quark rearrangement model and the quark annihilation model

The relativistic³ P ₀ model is applied to the \(p\bar p\) annihilation into twoS-wave mesons. We calculate the branching ratios of the \(p\bar p\) annihilation at rest into two mesons in the quark rearrangement model and in the quark annihilation model. In the annihilation model, we project the intermediate \(cq\bar q\) state to eigenstates ofSU (4) with the relative angular momentum of \(cq\bar q\) equals orp. In the rearrangement model, no annihilation occurs from theS-wave \(p\bar p\) and certain branching ratios conflict with the experimental data. Detailed comparison with the experiment needs inclusion ofP-wave mesons in the final state, nevertheless we find that the annihilation model gives qualitatively better results than the rearrangement model. The effect of initial state interaction through \(N\bar \Delta \pm \Delta \bar {\rm N}\) or \(\Delta \bar \Delta \) channels is discussed.     

Dynamics of multipionp¯ p annihilation

We construct a dynamical model to study the pion correlations in the 5 annihilation ofp¯ p at rest. For the resonant channels, the simplest Lorentz-invariant couplings have been used. It is found that, in addition to the Bose-Einstein correlations caused by the finite size of the source, the dynamical correlations from the channels with intermediate resonances are important for explaining the experimental two-pion correlation function. The reliability of two standard methods for pion interferometry is tested in our model.On leave from Institute of Nuclear Research, Academia Sinica, P.O. Box 800204, Shanghai 201800, China     

String model description of polarisation and angular distributions in ¯pp → ¯ΛΛ at low energies

The observed polarisation of Λ hyperons from the inclusive pA → ΛX reaction at high energies has previously been well described within the Lund string model through polarised sˉs quark pair production in the string breaking hadronisation process. This model is here applied to the exclusive ˉpp → ˉΛΛ reaction at low energies and compared to available data sets down to an incident-beam momentum of 1.835 GeV/c. This required an extension of the diquark scattering model to involve three components: an isotropic part relevant close to the threshold, a spectator part and a forward-scattering part as in pA → ΛX at high energies. The observed angular distributions are then reproduced and, for momentum transfers above | t'| = 0.2 GeV², agreement with the measured polarisation is also obtained.

Coherent laser spectroscopy of ¯pHe+

The facilities of the coherent laser pulse spectroscopy of the ¯pHe⁺ transitions are considered taking the magnetic structure of the energy levels into account. The possibility for the observation of the dynamics of intramolecular motions is also analyzed.     

Reaction ¯ν+e−→π−+γ and electroweak formfactors in the timelike domain

For the process of radiational generation of the pions in neutrino-electron collisions ¯_e+e^––+, the polarization properties of the photon are studied as functions of the vector and axial weak formfactors of the vertex W^* (W^* is a virtual W-boson in the domain of timelike momenta transfer). The possibility of the formfactors being complex results in T-odd effects even in a CP-invariant theory of weak interactions.Translated from Izvestiya Vysshikh Uchebnykh Zavedenii, Fizika, No. 9, pp. 6–9, September, 1982.     

Observation of the spin alignment of the ϱ0-meson produced in ¯pp interactions at 22.4 and 5.7 GeV/c

Studying the ⁰-meson production in ¯pp interactions at 22.4 GeV/c and in 4-prong anníhilation channels of ¯pp interactions at 5.7 GeV/c, we have observed an essential ⁰-meson spin alignment. The values of the ₀₀ element of the ⁰-meson spin density matrix (thez-axis is directed along the normal to the production plane) are equal to 0.08 ± 0.07 and 0.55 ± 0.03, respectively, i.e. the ⁰-meson spin lies preferably in the production plane. The absence of such an effect in pp interactions at 12 and 24 GeV/c and also the essentially larger ⁰ production cross section in ¯pp interactions at these energies make it possible to connect the observed ⁰-meson spin alignment with the annihilation processes. The character of the observed spin alignment is unexpected from the point of view of usual models, e.g. multiperipheral models. This effect could be described by the spontaneous polarization of quarks and antiquarks during the state preceding their recombination into mesons.Dedicated to Professor Ivan Úlehla on the occasion of his sixtieth birthday.The authors would like to express their gratitude to the CERN-Prague collaboration for permission to use their data on ¯pp interactions at 5.7 GeV/c.

Collisional quenching of ¯pHe+ metastable states

Collisions of metastable ¯pHe⁺ with He atoms are considered by multichannel semiclassical theory. Strong dependence of Stark transitions on both the energy-level splitting inl and collision velocity results in the separation of metastable states into two groups: long-lived and short-lived with respect to collisional quenching. An essential enhancement of delayed annihilation would be expected in a very rarefied target (p 1 Torr).     

Characteristics of charged particle multiplicity for¯nn andnn interactions and¯nn annihilations at 6·1 GeV/c

Topological cross sections and characteristics of charged particle multiplicity distributions for¯nn andnn interactions and¯nn annihilations at 6·1 GeV/c are presented. KNO-distributions for¯nn andnn interactions are very similar. Characteristics for¯nn and¯pp annihilations are identical at equal energies.Dedicated to the 30th anniversary of the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research.     

Production of baryons in ¯vn interactions and diquark fragmentation

Results are presented on baryon production in ¯vn and ¯vp collisions obtained within the framework of Monte Carlo quark-parton model. The inclusive distributions of protons and lambdas are compared with data. It is shown that the model which does not introduce diquarks can give satisfactory results on the distributions of baryons both in the target and fragmentation regions.The author is indebted to J. Piút for valuable suggestion and advices and to P. Lichard for help in computing and for discussions.
