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.     

$\mathcal{PT}$-Symmetric Quantum Electrodynamics—$\mathcal{PT}$QED

The construction of PT\mathcal{PT}-symmetric quantum electrodynamics is reviewed. In particular, the massless version of the theory in 1+1 dimensions (the Schwinger model) is solved. Difficulties with unitarity of the S-matrix are discussed.     

Analysis of the vertexes \Xi_{Q}^{*}′QV , \Sigma_{Q}^{*} \Sigma_{Q}^{}V and radiative decays \Xi_{Q}^{*} \rightarrow ′Q \gamma , \Sigma_{Q}^{*} \rightarrow \Sigma_{Q}^{} \gamma

In this article, we study the vertexes $ \Xi_{Q}^{*}$ ′_Q V and $ \Sigma_{Q}^{*}$ $ \Sigma_{Q}^{}$ V with the light-cone QCD sum rules, then assume the vector meson dominance of the intermediate $ \phi$ (1020) , $ \rho$ (770) and $ \omega$ (782) , and calculate the radiative decays $ \Xi_{Q}^{*}$ $ \rightarrow$ ′_Q $ \gamma$ and $ \Sigma_{Q}^{*}$ $ \rightarrow$ $ \Sigma_{Q}^{}$ $ \gamma$ .

Role of the Λ(1600) in the ${K}^{-}p \rightarrow {\rm{\Lambda }}{\pi }^{0}{\pi }^{0}$ reaction

Role of the Λ(1600) is studied in the ${K}^{-}p\to {\rm{\Lambda }}{\pi }^{0}{\pi }^{0}$ reaction by using the effective Lagrangian approach near the threshold. We perform a calculation for the total and differential cross sections by considering the contributions from the Λ(1600) and Λ(1670) intermediate resonances decaying into ${\pi }^{0}{{\rm{\Sigma }}}^{* 0}(1385)$ with ${{\rm{\Sigma }}}^{* 0}(1385)$ decaying into ${\pi }^{0}{\rm{\Lambda }}$. Additionally, the non-resonance process from u-channel nucleon pole is also taken into account. With our model parameters, the current experimental data on the total cross sections of the ${K}^{-}p\to {\rm{\Lambda }}{\pi }^{0}{\pi }^{0}$ reaction can be well reproduced. It is shown that we really need the contribution from the Λ(1600) with spin-parity ${J}^{P}=1/{2}^{+}$, and that these measurements can be used to determine some of the properties of the Λ(1600) resonance. Furthermore, we also plot the π⁰Λ invariant mass distributions which could be tested by the future experimental measurements.     

Renormalisation of Φ4-Theory on Non-Commutative $$\mathbb{R}^{4}$$ to All Orders

We present the main ideas and techniques of the proof that the duality-covariant four-dimensional non-commutative ⁴-model is renormalisable to all orders. This includes the reformulation as a dynamical matrix model, the solution of the free theory by orthogonal polynomials as well as the renormalisation byflow equations involving power-counting theorems for ribbon graphs drawn on Riemann surfaces     

$J^{P}$ Assignments of $\Lambda_c^{+}$ Baryons

The ＂good＂ diquark is employed to study A＋ baryons within a mass loaded flux tube model. The study indicates that all A＋ baryons candidates in the 2008 review by the Particle Data Group （PDG） are well described in the mass loaded flux model. The quantum numbers JP of these A＋ candidates are assigned. If Ac（2765）＋ is an orbitally excited A＋, it is likely the JP=3/2＋one. If ∧c（2765）＋ is an orbitally excited ∑c, there ought to be another JP=3/2＋∧c＋with mass ≈2770 MeV. In the model, there exists no JP=1/2＋∧c＋（≈2700）predicted in existing literature. Ac （2940）＋ is very possible the orbitally excited baryon with     

Superconductivity in the doped “pseudo-ladder” compound CaCu$_\mathsf{2}$O$_\mathsf{3}$

An effective anisotropic t-J model for the pseudo-ladder compound CaCu₂O₃ is proposed based on recent experimental studies and band structure calculations. Superconducting pairing mediated by the exchange interaction in the model is investigated as a function of doping away from the antiferromagnetic insulating state. It is shown that strong anisotropy in the electronic spectrum suppresses superconducting temperature in comparison with conventional copper-oxide superconductors with square lattices.     

Sum rule estimate of the subleading non-perturbative contributions to Bs–$\bar{ B}_{s}$ mixing

We use QCD sum rules to compute the matrix elements of the ΔB=2 operators appearing in the heavy-quark expansion of the width difference of the B _s mass eigenstates. The main focus of our analysis is on the subleading operators R ₂ and R ₃, which appear at next-to-leading order in the 1/m _b expansion. The matrix elements of these operators are already essential for precise phenomenology, but their calculation in lattice QCD is lacking and the values given here provide a first estimate of their values. We conclude that the violation of the factorization approximation for these matrix elements due to non-perturbative vacuum condensates is as low as 1–2%.     

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.     

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.     

η , \eta{^\prime} mixing angle and \eta{^\prime} gluonium content extraction from the KLOE Rφ measurement⋆

In this report the extraction of the η , $ \eta{^\prime}$ mixing angle and of the $ \eta{^\prime}$ gluonium content from the R _φ = Br(φ(1020) → $ \eta{^\prime}$ γ)/Br(φ(1020) → ηγ) is updated. The $ \eta{^\prime}$ gluonium content is estimated by fitting R _φ , together, with other decay branching ratios. The extracted parameters are: Z ² _G = 0.12±0.04 and ?_P = (40.4±0.9)^° .     

The Local Gromov–Witten Theory of $${\mathbb{C}\mathbb{P}^1}$$ and Integrable Hierarchies

In this paper we begin the study of the relationship between the local Gromov–Witten theory of Calabi–Yau rank two bundles over the projective line and the theory of integrable hierarchies. We first of all construct explicitly, in a large number of cases, the Hamiltonian dispersionless hierarchies that govern the full-descendent genus zero theory. Our main tool is the application of Dubrovin’s formalism, based on associativity equations, to the known results on the genus zero theory from local mirror symmetry and localization. The hierarchies we find are apparently new, with the exception of the resolved conifold in the equivariantly Calabi–Yau case. For this example the relevant dispersionless system turns out to be related to the long-wave limit of the Ablowitz–Ladik lattice. This identification provides us with a complete procedure to reconstruct the dispersive hierarchy which should conjecturally be related to the higher genus theory of the resolved conifold. We give a complete proof of this conjecture for genus g ≤ 1; our methods are based on establishing, analogously to the case of KdV, a “quasi-triviality” property for the Ablowitz–Ladik hierarchy at the leading order of the dispersive expansion. We furthermore provide compelling evidence in favour of the resolved conifold/Ablowitz–Ladik correspondence at higher genus by testing it successfully in the primary sector for g = 2.     

Extending $\mathcal{P}\mathcal{T}$ Symmetry from Heisenberg Algebra to E2 Algebra

The E2 algebra has three elements, J, u, and v, which satisfy the commutation relations [u,J]=iv, [v,J]=−iu, [u,v]=0. We can construct the Hamiltonian H=J ²+gu, where g is a real parameter, from these elements. This Hamiltonian is Hermitian and consequently it has real eigenvalues. However, we can also construct the PT\mathcal{P}\mathcal{T}-symmetric and non-Hermitian Hamiltonian H=J ²+igu, where again g is real. As in the case of PT\mathcal{P}\mathcal{T}-symmetric Hamiltonians constructed from the elements x and p of the Heisenberg algebra, there are two regions in parameter space for this PT\mathcal{P}\mathcal{T}-symmetric Hamiltonian, a region of unbroken PT\mathcal{P}\mathcal{T} symmetry in which all the eigenvalues are real and a region of broken PT\mathcal{P}\mathcal{T} symmetry in which some of the eigenvalues are complex. The two regions are separated by a critical value of g.     

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.     

Uniform in N global well-posedness of the time-dependent Hartree–Fock–Bogoliubov equations in $$\mathbb {R}^{1+1}$$

We prove the global well-posedness of the time-dependent Hartree–Fock–Bogoliubov (TDHFB) equations in \(\mathbb {R}^{1+1}\) with two-body interaction potential of the form \(N^{-1}v_N(x) = N^{\beta -1} v(N^\beta x)\) where \(v\ge 0\) is a sufficiently regular radial function, i.e., \(v \in L^1(\mathbb {R})\cap C^\infty (\mathbb {R})\). In particular, using methods of dispersive PDEs similar to the ones used in Grillakis and Machedon (Commun Partial Differ Equ 42:24–67, 2017), we are able to show for any scaling parameter \(\beta >0\) the TDHFB equations are globally well-posed in some Strichartz-type spaces independent of N, cf. (Bach et al. in The time-dependent Hartree–Fock–Bogoliubov equations for Bosons, 2016. arXiv:1602.05171).
