Observation of a resonancelike structure in the pi +- psi' mass distribution in exclusive B-->Kpi +- psi' decays

A distinct peak is observed in the pi +/- psi' invariant mass distribution near 4.43 GeV in B-->K pi +/- psi' decays. A fit using a Breit-Wigner resonance shape yields a peak mass and width of M=4433+/-4(stat)+/-2(syst) MeV and Gamma=45-13+18(stat)-13+30(syst) MeV. The product branching fraction is determined to be B(B 0-->K -/+Z+/-(4430)) x B(Z+/-(4430)-->pi+/-psi')=(4.1+/-1.0(stat)+/-1.4(syst)) x 10(-5), where Z+/-(4430) is used to denote the observed structure. The statistical significance of the observed peak is 6.5 sigma. These results are obtained from a 605 fb(-1) data sample that contains 657 x 10(6) BB pairs collected near the Upsilon(4S) resonance with the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric energy e+ e- collider.     

Search for B+-->D*+pi0 decay

We report on a search for the doubly Cabibbo suppressed decay B+-->D*+pi0, based on a data sample of 657x10(6) BB pairs collected at the Upsilon(4S) resonance with the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric-energy e+e- collider. We find no significant signal and set an upper limit of B(B+-->D*+pi0)<3.6x10(-6) at the 90% confidence level. This limit can be used to constrain the ratio between suppressed and favored B-->D*pi decay amplitudes, r<0.051, at the 90% confidence level.     

Exact formula of the distribution of Schmidt eigenvalues for dynamical formation of entanglement in quantum chaos

The exact formula of the one-level distribution of the Schmidt eigenvalues is obtained for dynamical formation of entanglement in quantum chaos. The formula is based on the random matrix theory of the fixed-trace ensemble, and is derived using the theory of the holonomic system of differential equations. We confirm that the formula describes the universality of the distribution of the Schmidt eigenvalues in quantum chaos.     

Time-dependent CP-violating asymmetry in B0-->rho0gamma decays

We report the first measurement of CP-violation parameters in B0-->rho0gamma decays based on a data sample of 657x10(6)BB pairs collected with the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric-energy e+e- collider. We obtain the time-dependent and direct CP-violating parameters, Srho0gamma=-0.83+/-0.65(stat)+/-0.18(syst) and Arho0gamma=-0.44+/-0.49(stat)+/-0.14(syst), respectively.     

Measurement of time-dependent CP-violating parameters in B(0)-->K_(S)(0)K_(S)(0) decays

We report a measurement of the CP-violating parameters in B;{0}-->K_{S}{0}K_{S}{0} decays based on a data sample of 657x10{6} BB[over ] pairs collected at the Upsilon(4S) resonance with the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric-energy e;{+}e{-} collider. In this Letter, one neutral B meson is fully reconstructed in the B;{0}-->K_{S}{0}K_{S}{0} decay mode, and the flavor of the accompanying B meson is identified by its decay products. The CP-violating parameters are measured from the asymmetry in the distributions of the proper-time interval between the two B decays: S_K_{S}{0}K_{S}{0}}=-0.38_{-0.77}{+0.69}(stat)+/-0.09(syst) and A_{K_{S}{0}K_{S}{0}}=-0.38+/-0.38(stat)+/-0.05(syst).     

Relaxation of flexible chains in dilute and non‐dilute systems. Dynamic Monte Carlo results for linear and star chains

A dynamic Monte Carlo algorithm is employed to investigate the dynamics of flexible linear and star chains on a cubic lattice at different concentrations. Some results for similar systems are also obtained with an off‐lattice algorithm. Diffusion coefficient, relaxation times and mean size data are combined into friction‐independent ratios in good agreement with the theoretical predictions from the Rouse theory. The relaxation times and amplitudes corresponding to the Rouse normal modes are analyzed in terms of their variation with the mode order. The end‐to‐end vector correlation times obtained from the simulations for linear chains are compared with the theoretical expression obtained from the Rouse theory. Deviations from this theory are observed for the contribution of the different modes in the non‐dilute systems. Finally, the time correlation function corresponding to a subchain's end‐to‐end vector is investigated. The results also show deviations from the Rouse theory, which are in qualitative agreement with the features observed in data from dielectric relaxation experiments of block copolymers.
