Beauty-conserving strangeness-changing rare semileptonic decays ofB s meson

The beauty-conserving strangeness-changing decays ofB _s meson are examined. In the charm sector, charm-conserving strangeness changing (Δc = 0, Δs ≠ 0) decays are Cabibbo suppressed and are governed by the CKM elementV _us which is much smaller than the CKM diagonal elementV _cs, so may be of little interest. On the other hand, in theb-sector, beauty-conserving strangeness changing (Δb = 0, Δs ≠ 0) decays are CKM allowed as the CKM matrix elementV _us governing such decays is much larger thanV _bc orV _bu which govern respectively theb →c orb →u transitions. The phase space available, however, is too small for the decays considered here. The numerical estimates for the decay widths of two such modes ofB _s meson are presented.

Insights into the nature of X(3872) through B meson decays

We study the \begin{document}$ B_{c,u,d}\to X(3872)P $\end{document} decays in the perturbative QCD (PQCD) approach, involving the puzzling resonance \begin{document}$ X(3872) $\end{document}, where P represents a light pseudoscalar meson (K or π). Assuming \begin{document}$ X(3872) $\end{document} to be a \begin{document}$ 1^{++} $\end{document} charmonium state, we obtain the following results. (a) The branching ratios of the \begin{document}$ B^+_c\to X(3872)\pi^+ $\end{document} and \begin{document}$ B^+_c\to X(3872) K^+ $\end{document} decays are consistent with the results predicted by the covariant light-front approach within errors; however, they are larger than those given by the generalized factorization approach. (b) The branching ratio of the \begin{document}$ B^+\to X(3872)K^+ $\end{document} decay is predicted as \begin{document}$ (3.8^{+1.1}_{-1.0})\times10^{-4} $\end{document}, which is smaller than the previous PQCD calculation result but still slightly larger than the upper limits set by Belle and BaBar. Hence, we suggest that the\begin{document}$ B^{0,+}\to X(3872)K^{0,+} $\end{document} decays should be precisely measured by the LHCb and Belle II experiments to help probe the inner structure of \begin{document}$ X(3872) $\end{document}. (c) Compared with the \begin{document}$ B_{u,d}\to X(3872)K $\end{document}decays, the \begin{document}$ B_{u,d}\to X(3872)\pi $\end{document} decays have significantly smaller branching ratios, which drop to values as low as \begin{document}$ 10^{-6} $\end{document}. (d) The direct CP violations of these considered decays are small (\begin{document}$ 10^{-3}\sim 10^{-2} $\end{document}) because the penguin contributions are loop suppressed compared to the tree contributions. The mixing-induced CP violation of the \begin{document}$ B\to X(3872)K^0_S $\end{document} decay is highly consistent with the current world average value \begin{document}$ \sin2\beta=(69.9\pm1.7)$\end{document}%. Experimentally testing the results for the branching ratios and CP violations, including the implicit \begin{document}$S U(3)$\end{document} and isospin symmetries of these decays, helps probe the nature of \begin{document}$ X(3872) $\end{document}.     

Manipulating nonclassical quantum statistical properties of light field by an f-deformed Bose–Einstein condensate

We consider the interaction between an f-deformed Bose–Einstein condensate and a single-mode quantized light field. By using the Gardiner’s phonon operators, we find that there exists a natural deformation in the model which modifies the Bogoliubov approximation under the condition of large but finite number of particles in condensate. This approach introduces an intrinsically deformed Bose–Einstein condensate, where the deformation parameter, well-defined by the particle number N in condensate, controls the strength of the associated nonlinearity. By introducing the deformed Gardiner’s phonon operators we modify the very dilute-gas approximation through including atomic collisions in condensate. The rate of atomic collisions κ, as a new deformation parameter in the deformed Bose–Einstein condensate, controls the nonlinearity related to the atomic collisions. We show that by controlling the nonlinearities in the f-deformed atomic condensate through the two atomic parameters N and κ, it is possible to generate and manipulate the nonclassical quantum statistical properties of radiation field, such as, the sub-Poissonian photon statistics and quadrature squeezing. Also, it is possible to control the collapses and revivals phenomena in the average number of photons by atomic parameters N and κ.

Theory of Z-scan technique using Gaussian-Bessel beams with a phase object

This paper reports the theoretical study of combining Z-scan technique with Gauss-Bessel (GB) beams beside a phase object (PO) to measure the third-order nonlinear susceptibility components.By using this method,the sign of refractive index which depends on the shape of the close aperture Z-scan curve can be easily determined.Meanwhile,the magnitude of nonlinear coefficients can also be deduced by theoretical fit.The proposed method is advantageous for high sensitivity and imposes a lower stress in the cases of fragile materials,since small pulse energy is enough for the measurement of nonlinear coefficients.Predictions of the models are compared with Gaussian Z-scan measurement and GB Z-scan measurement.By using GB beams with a PO,the sensitivity of Z-scan measurements is found to be a factor of over 60 times greater than for Gaussian beams and 2 times greater than for Gaussian-Bessel beams.

Simple and Efficient PML Algorithm for Truncating Nonlinear FDTD Domains Based on the Z -Transform Method

Based on the Z-transform method, a simple, efficient and unsplit-field implementation of the Stretched Coordinate Perfectly Matched Layer (SC-PML) is proposed for truncating the nonlinear dispersive Finite Difference Time Domain (FDTD) lattices. In addition, the nonlinear FDTD formulations using the Z-transform method are reformulated with the advantage of a simple derivative process. The proposed algorithm is validated through two numerical examples carried out in one dimensional and two dimensional domains which include Lorentz dispersion as well as Kerr and Raman nonlinearities.

Mean-field expansion and meson effects in chiral condensate of analytically regularized Nambu-Jona-Lasinio model

Scalar meson contributions in chiral quark condensate are calculated in the analytically regularized Nambu-Jona-Lasinio model using the framework of mean-field expansion in bilocal-source formalism. The sigma-meson contribution for physical values of the parameters is found to be small. Pion contribution is found to be significant and should be taken into account for the choice of the parameter values.     

Quantum simulation of the t–J model

Computer simulation of a many-particle quantum system is bound to reach the inevitable limits of its ability as the system size increases. The primary reason for this is that the memory size used in a classical simulator grows polynomially whereas the Hilbert space of the quantum system does so exponentially. Replacing the classical simulator by a quantum simulator would be an effective method of surmounting this obstacle. The prevailing techniques for simulating quantum systems on a quantum computer have been developed for purposes of computing numerical algorithms designed to obtain approximate physical quantities of interest. The method suggested here requires no numerical algorithms; it is a direct isomorphic translation between a quantum simulator and the quantum system to be simulated. In the quantum simulator, physical parameters of the system, which are the fixed parameters of the simulated quantum system, are under the control of the experimenter. A method of simulating a model for high-temperature superconducting oxides, the t–J model, by optical control, as an example of such a quantum simulation, is presented.     

Z-scan determination of the third-order optical nonlinearities of an azo dye using diode-pumped Nd:Yag laser

Optical nonlinearity of dye solutions are studied with considerable interest for their wide spread applications ranging from gain media in lasers to all-optical processing signal devices. The third-order nonlinear optical properties of Brilliant Crocein dye was measured by the Z-scan technique and measurements were carried out for different concentrations. The negative sign of the nonlinear refractive index n₂ indicates that this material exhibits self-defocusing optical nonlinearity and purely saturation absorption at the wavelength 532 nm of the diode-pumped Nd:YAG. These results show that Brilliant Crocein has potential applications in nonlinear optics.     

Coherent state approach to the cross-collisional effects in the population dynamics of a two-mode Bose–Einstein condensate

We reanalyze the non-linear population dynamics of a Bose–Einstein condensate (BEC) in a double well trap considering a semiclassical approach based on a time dependent variational principle applied to coherent states associated to SU(2) group. Employing a two-mode local approximation and hard sphere type interaction, we show in the Schwinger’s pseudo-spin language the occurrence of a fixed point bifurcation that originates a separatrix of motion on a sphere. This separatrix corresponds to the borderline between two dynamical regimes of Josephson oscillations and mesoscopic self-trapping. We also consider the effects of interaction between particles in different wells, known as cross-collisions. Such terms are usually neglected for traps sufficiently far apart, but recently it has been shown that they contribute to the effective tunneling constant with a factor growing linearly with the particle number. This effect changes considerably the effective tunneling of the system for sufficiently large number of trapped atoms, in perfect accord with experimental data. Finally, we identify analytically the transition parameter associated to the bifurcation in the generalized phase space of the model with cross-collision terms, and show how the dynamical regime depends on the initial conditions of the system and the collisional parameters values.     

Matter wave interference pattern in the collision of bright solitons

We investigate the dynamics of Bose–Einstein condensates in a quasi one-dimensional regime in a time-dependent trap and show analytically that it is possible to observe matter wave interference patterns in the intra-trap collision of two bright solitons by selectively tuning the trap frequency and scattering length.     

Manifestation of a gap due to the exchange energy in a spinor condensate

We investigate the dynamic response of population transfer between two components of a finite temperature spinor Bose condensed gas to a time-dependent coupling potential. Comparison between the results obtained in the Bogoliubov–Popov approximation (BPA) and in the generalized random phase approximation (GRPA) shows noticeable discrepancies. In particular, the inter-component current response function calculated in the GRPA displays a gapped spectrum due to the exchange interaction energy whereas the corresponding density response function is gapless. We verify that, contrary to the BPA, the GRPA preserves the SU(2) symmetry and the f-sum rule associated to the spinor gas. In order to validate the approximation, we propose an experimental setup that allows the observation of the predicted gap.

Weak nonleptonic decays of 3/2+ isobars in SU(3)

Weak transitions of decuplet isobars are expanded in terms of eigen-amplitudes of the direct channel in the framework of SU(3). Starting with the most general weak Hamiltonian and assuming intermediate states to be non-exotic, we obtain ΔI=1/2 rule for Ω⁻ decays. Invoking of the CP invariance forbids all thepv weak processesD(10)→D(10) +P(8). Decays of the charmed multiplets are also discussed in these dynamical considerations. We obtain triplet dominance of charm changing weak Hamiltonian for Ω*⁺⁺ ₃ decays.
