We discuss the time-dependent CP asymmetry of the decay
in an extension of the standard model with both a two Higgs doublet and additional fourth-generation quarks. We show that, although the standard model with a two Higgs doublet and the standard model with fourth-generation quarks alone are not likely to largely change the effective
from the decay
, the model with both an additional Higgs doublet and fourth-generation quarks can easily account for the possible large negative value of
without conflicting with other experimental constraints. In this model, additional large CP violating effects may arise from the flavor-changing Yukawa interactions between neutral Higgs bosons and the heavy fourth-generation down type quark, which can modify the QCD penguin contributions. With the constraints obtained from
processes such as
and
, this model can lead to an effective
as large as - 0.4 in the CP asymmetry of

Tau lepton decays with open strangeness in the final state are measured with the OPAL detector at LEP to determine the strange hadronic spectral function of the
lepton. The decays
,
and
with final states consisting of neutral and charged kaons and pions have been studied. The invariant mass distributions of
of these final states have been experimentally determined. Monte Carlo simulations have been used for the remaining
and for the strange final states including
mesons. The reconstructed strange final states, corrected for resolution effects and detection efficiencies, yield the strange spectral function of the
lepton. The moments of the spectral function and the ratio of strange to non-strange moments, which are important input parameters for theoretical analyses, are determined. Furthermore, the branching fractions

have been measured.Received: 18 February 2004, Revised: 30 April 2004, Published online: 15 June 2004 相似文献

beam polarization. We investigate the influence of the CP phases on azimuthal asymmetries in

and
. We show that triple product correlations involving the transverse
beam polarization vanish if at least one subsequent chargino decay is not observed. We derive this result within the minimal supersymmetric standard model (MSSM) with complex parameters; however, it holds also in the general MSSM with SUSY flavor violation.Received: 29 March 2004, Published online: 30 July 2004 相似文献

Due to its light mass, of order
, the strange quark can play a special role in chiral symmetry breaking (
SB): differences in the pattern of
SB in the limits Nf = 2 (
, ms physical) and Nf = 3 (
) may arise due to vacuum fluctuations of
pairs, related to the violation of the Zweig rule in the scalar sector and encoded in particular in the O(p4) low-energy constants L4 and L6. In case of large fluctuations, we show that the customary treatment of SU(3) x SU(3) chiral expansions generates instabilities upsetting their convergence. We develop a systematic program to cure these instabilities by resumming non-perturbatively vacuum fluctuations of
pairs, in order to extract information about
SB from experimental observations even in the presence of large fluctuations. We advocate a Bayesian framework for treating the uncertainties due to the higher orders. As an application, we present a three-flavor analysis of the low-energy
scattering and show that the recent experimental data imply a lower bound on the quark mass ratio
at 95% confidence level. We outline how additional information may be incorporated to further constrain the pattern of
SB in the Nf = 3 chiral limit.Received: 2 December 2003, Published online: 3 March 2004J. Stern: stern@ipno.in2p3.fr 相似文献

A study of elliptic flow and two-particle azimuthal correlations of charged particles (
GeV/c) and high-
pions (
GeV/c) in Pb + Au collisions at 158A GeV/c, close to midrapidity, is presented. Elliptic flow (v
2) rises linearly with
to a value of about 10
at 2 GeV/c. Beyond
1.5 GeV/c, the slope decreases and possibly indicates a v
2 saturation at high
. Two-pion azimuthal anisotropies for
1.2 GeV/c exceed the v
2 values by about 60
in semicentral collisions. This non-flow component is attributed to near-side and away-side jetlike correlations. While the
near-side peak remains constant with centrality 0.23
0.03 rad, as expected for fragmentation, the away-side peak experiences broadening and disappears in central collisions.

has been performed with the ZEUS detector using the entire HERA I data sample, corresponding to an integrated luminosity

interactions. For LQ masses below

is the coupling of the LQ to an electron and a first-generation quark q1, and
is the branching ratio of the LQ to the final-state lepton

The CP asymmetries of the decay
, which originates from
flavor-changing neutral-current processes, and its CP-averaged branching ratio BR
offer interesting avenues to explore flavor physics. We show that we may characterize this channel, within the standard model, in a theoretically clean manner through a surface in observable space. In order to extract the relevant information from BR
, further information is required, which is provided by the
system and the SU(3) flavor symmetry, where we include the leading factorizable SU(3)-breaking corrections and discuss how experimental insights into non-factorizable effects can be obtained. We point out that the standard model implies a lower bound for BR
, which is very close to its current experimental upper bound, thereby suggesting that this decay should soon be observed. Moreover, we explore the implications for color suppression in the
system, and convert the data for these modes in a peculiar standard-model pattern for the CP-violating
observables.Received: 3 August 2004, Published online: 15 November 2004 相似文献

We perform a complete analysis of isospin breaking in
amplitudes in chiral perturbation theory, including both strong isospin violation (
) and electromagnetic corrections to next-to-leading order in the low-energy expansion. The unknown chiral couplings are estimated at leading order in the 1/Nc expansion. We study the impact of isospin breaking on CP conserving amplitudes and rescattering phases. In particular, we extract the effective couplings g8 and g27 from a fit to
branching ratios, finding small deviations from the isospin-limit case. The ratio
measuring the
enhancement is found to decrease from
in the isospin limit to
in the presence of isospin breaking. We also analyze the effect of isospin violation on the CP violation parameter
, finding a destructive interference between three different sources of isospin violation. Within the uncertainties of large-Nc estimates for the low-energy constants, the isospin violating correction for

We present an analysis of the longitudinal
polarization in ultrarelativistic heavy-ion collisions. The polarization of
s coming from the decay chain
exhibits a very well differentiated behavior depending on the production region of the primordial
s. This effect reflects the different values of the
ratio in the QGP region, where nucleon-nucleon interactions take place in a hot and dense environment, and the peripherical region, in which ordinary nucleon-nucleon interactions occur. An increase in the longitudinal
polarization signals a strangeness enhancement which is thought of as a property of the QGP phase.Received: 21 September 2004, Revised: 25 October 2004, Published online: 17 December 2004 相似文献

Hadronic events from the data collected with the DELPHI detector at LEP within the energy range from 89 Gev to 209 Gev are selected, their jet rates are determined and compared to predictions of four different event generators.
