Evidence for CP violation in time-integrated D0→h(-)h(+) decay rates

A search for time-integrated CP violation in D(0)→h(-)h(+) (h=K, π) decays is presented using 0.62 fb(-1) of data collected by LHCb in 2011. The flavor of the charm meson is determined by the charge of the slow pion in the D(*+)→D(0)π(+) and D(*-)→D[over ˉ](0)π(-) decay chains. The difference in CP asymmetry between D(0)→K(-)K(+) and D(0)→π(-)π(+), ΔA(CP)≡A(CP)(K(-)K(+))-A(CP)(π(-)π(+)), is measured to be [-0.82±0.21(stat)±0.11(syst)]%. This differs from the hypothesis of CP conservation by 3.5 standard deviations.     

A Randomized Algorithm for Triangulating a Simple Polygon in Linear Time

We describe a randomized algorithm for computing the trapezoidal decomposition of a simple polygon. Its expected running time is linear in the size of the polygon. By a well-known and simple linear time reduction, this implies a linear time algorithm for triangulating a simple polygon. Our algorithm is considerably simpler than Chazelle's [3] celebrated optimal deterministic algorithm. The new algorithm can be viewed as a combination of Chazelle's algorithm and of simple nonoptimal randomized algorithms due to Clarkson et al. [6], [7], [9] and to Seidel [20]. As in Chazelle's algorithm, it is indispensable to include a bottom-up preprocessing phase, in addition to the actual top-down construction. An essential new idea is the use of random sampling on subchains of the initial polygonal chain, rather than on individual edges as is normally done.

硅团簇结构和碎片行为的紧束缚理论方法

利用紧束缚分子动力学模拟退火方法研究了硅团簇Sin(n=2—14)的结构性质和能量.通过与前人工作结果(Si2—Si10)的比较,发现本理论方法的结果相当准确地再现了从头计算的结论.对较大的硅团簇所作的计算给出了有意义的结构预测.从能量观点出发,计算结果表明原子数分别为4,6,7,10,12和14的硅团簇较为稳定.还进一步研究了硅团簇的碎片行为,理论计算的结果表明较大的硅团簇的稳定碎片产物通常包括一个或两个“幻数”团簇
