The Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) produces a hot, dense and deconfined Quantum ChromoDynamics (QCD) medium, called the quark-gluon plasma (QGP), with Au +Au collisions at √sNN = 200 GeV. The K*+/-(892) resonance is a short-lived particle with a lifetime shorter than the expected lifetime of the QGP. The K* production may provide an effective tool to probe the QGP properties, such as strangeness enhancement. Experimentally, K*+/- analysis is difficult and less studied previously because of large combinatorial background. In recent years, improvements in data sample statistics and particle identification capability promise better K*+/- measurements. In this presentation, we report the reconstruction of K*+/- resonance via the hadronic decay channel K*+/- (892) ->KS0π+/- as a function of transverse momentum (pT) up to 5 GeV/c for various collision centrality classes. The data are Au +Au collisions at √sNN = 200 GeV collected in the year 2011 run from the STAR experiment. Physics implications of our measurements will also be discussed. For the STAR collaboration.

Probing for new physics in B meson decays with dilepton events

NASA Astrophysics Data System (ADS)

Park, Woochun

We have searched a sample of 9.6 M BB¯ events collected with the CLEO II detector in e+e - annihilations at the Upsilon(4S) resonance for B meson decays as follows: (1) The flavor-changing neutral current decays, B → K ℓ +ℓ- and B → K*(892)ℓ+ℓ- with mℓℓ > 0.5 GeV. (2) The lepton-flavor-violating decays, B → h e+/-mu ∓, B+ → h -e+e +, B+ → h -e+mu+, and B+ → h-mu +mu+, where h is pi, K, rho and K*(892), a total of sixteen modes. (3) The lepton-flavor-violating leptonic decays including tau lepton, B0 → mu+/-tau ∓ and B0 → e +/-tau∓. We find no evidence for these decays, and place 90% confidence level upper limits on their branching fractions: (1) B (B → K ℓ+ℓ -) < 1.7 x 10-6 and B (B → K*ℓ+ℓ -) mℓℓ > 0.5GeV < 3.3 x 10-6. (2) B (B → h ℓ ℓ) upper limits range from 1.0 to 8.0 x 10-6. (3) B (B0 → mu+/-tau ∓) < 3.8 x 10-5 and B (B0 → e +/-tau∓) < 1.3 x 10-4 .

Recent experiments studying the meson-nucleus interaction to extract meson-nucleus potentials are reviewed. The real part of the potentials quantifies whether the interaction is attractive or repulsive while the imaginary part describes the meson absorption in nuclei. The review is focused on mesons which are sufficiently long-lived to potentially form meson-nucleus quasi-bound states. The presentation is confined to meson production off nuclei in photon-, pion-, proton-, and light-ion induced reactions and heavy-ion collisions at energies near the production threshold. Tools to extract the potential parameters are presented. In most cases, the real part of the potential is determined by comparing measured meson momentum distributions or excitation functions with collision model or transport model calculations. The imaginary part is extracted from transparency ratio measurements. Results on K+ ,K0 ,K- , η ,η‧ , ω, and ϕ mesons are presented and compared with theoretical predictions. The interaction of K+ and K0 mesons with nuclei is found to be weakly repulsive, while the K- , η ,η‧ , ω and ϕ meson-nucleus potentials are attractive, however, with widely different strengths. Because of meson absorption in the nuclear medium the imaginary parts of the meson-nucleus potentials are all negative, again with a large spread. An outlook on planned experiments in the charm sector is given. In view of the determined potential parameters, the criteria and chances for experimentally observing meson-nucleus quasi-bound states are discussed. The most promising candidates appear to be the η and η‧ mesons.

K*(892)⁰ and K̄*(892)⁰ production in central Pb + Pb, Si + Si, C + C, and inelastic p + p collisions at 158A GeV

Production of the K*(892)0 and K̄*(892)⁰ resonances was studied via their K⁺π⁻ and K⁻π⁺ decay modes in central Pb+Pb, Si+Si, C+C, and inelastic p+p collisions at 158A GeV(√( sNN)=17.3 GeV) with the NA49 detector at the CERN SPS. Transverse momentum and rapidity distributions were measured and total yields were estimated. The yield of K* exceeds that of K̄* by about a factor of two in nucleus-nucleus reactions. The total yield ratios ⟨K*⟩/⟨K+⟩ and ⟨K̄*⟩/⟨K-⟩ are strongly suppressed in central Pb+Pb compared to p+p, C+C, and Si+Si collisions, in agreement with the expected attenuation of these short-lived resonance states in themore » hadronic phase of the expanding fireball. The UrQMD model, although incorporating such a scenario, does not provide a quantitative description of the experimental results. The statistical hadron gas model assuming the same freeze-out parameters for stable hadrons and resonances overestimates the ⟨K*⟩/⟨K⟩ ratios in central Pb+Pb collisions by about a factor of 2.5.« less

K π vector form factor, dispersive constraints and τ→ ν τ K π decays

Recent experimental data for the differential decay distribution of the decay τ -→ ν τ K S π - by the Belle collaboration are described by a theoretical model which is composed of the contributing vector and scalar form factors F {+/ K π }( s) and F {0/ K π }( s). Both form factors are constructed such that they fulfil constraints posed by analyticity and unitarity. A good description of the experimental measurement is achieved by incorporating two vector resonances and working with a three-times-subtracted dispersion relation in order to suppress higher-energy contributions. The resonance parameters of the charged K *(892) meson, defined as the pole of F {+/ K π }( s) in the complex s-plane, can be extracted, with the result M_{K^{*}}=892.0± 0.9 MeV and \\varGamma_{K^{*}}=46.2± 0.4 MeV . Finally, employing a three-times-subtracted dispersion relation allows one to determine the slope and curvature parameters λ'+=(24.7±0.8)×10-3 and λ″+=(12.0±0.2)×10-4 of the vector form factor F {+/ K π }( s) directly from the data.

Phenomenology of pseudotensor mesons and the pseudotensor glueball

Koenigstein, Adrian; Giacosa, Francesco

2016-12-01

We study the decays of the pseudotensor mesons (π2(1670), K2(1770), η2(1645), η2(1870)) interpreted as the ground-state nonet of 11D2 bar{q}q states using interaction Lagrangians which couple them to pseudoscalar, vector, and tensor mesons. While the decays of π2(1670) and K2(1770) can be well described, the decays of the isoscalar states η2(1645) and η2(1870) can be brought in agreement with the present experimental data only if the mixing angle between nonstrange and strange states is surprisingly large (about -42°, similar to the mixing in the pseudoscalar sector, in which the chiral anomaly is active). Such a large mixing angle is however at odd with all other conventional quark-antiquark nonets: if confirmed, a deeper study of its origin will be needed in the future. Moreover, the bar{q}q assignment of pseudotensor states predicts that the ratio [η2(1870) → a2(1320) π]/[η2(1870) → f2(1270) η] is about 23.5. This value is in agreement with Barberis et al., (20.4 ± 6.6), but disagrees with the recent reanalysis of Anisovich et al., (1.7 ± 0.4). Future experimental studies are necessary to understand this puzzle. If Anisovich's value is confirmed, a simple nonet of pseudoscalar mesons cannot be able to describe data (different assignments and/or additional states, such as an hybrid state, will be needed). In the end, we also evaluate the decays of a pseudoscalar glueball into the aforementioned conventional bar{q}q states: a sizable decay into K^{ast}2(1430) K and a2(1230) π together with a vanishing decay into pseudoscalar-vector pairs (such as ρ(770) π and K^{ast}(892) K) are expected. This information can be helpful in future studies of glueballs at the ongoing BESIII and at the future PANDA experiments.

A measurement of the differential branching fraction of the decay B 0 → K ∗(892)0 μ + μ - is presented together with a determination of the S-wave fraction of the K + π - system in the decay B 0 → K +π- μ + μ -. The analysis is based on pp-collision data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 3 fb-1 collected with the LHCb experiment. The measurements are made in bins of the invariant mass squared of the dimuon system, q 2. Precise theoretical predictions for the differential branching fraction of B 0 → K ∗(892)0 μ + μ - decays are available for the q 2 region 1 .1 < q 2 < 6 .0 GeV2 /c 4. In this q 2 region, for the K +π- invariant mass range 796 < m Kπ < 996 MeV /c 2, the S-wave fraction of the K +π- system in B 0 → K +π- μ + μ - decays is found to be {F}S=0.101± 0.017(stat)± 0.009(syst), and the differential branching fraction of B 0 → K ∗(892)0 μ + μ - decays is determined to be dB/d{q}^2=(0.{392}_{-0.019}^{+0.020}(stat)± 0.010(syst)± 0.027(norm))× 1{0}^{-7}{c}^4/{GeV}^2.

We perform an amplitude analysis of B+/--->phi(1020)K*(892)+/- decay with a sample of about 384 x 10(6) BB[over ] pairs recorded with the BABAR detector. Overall, twelve parameters are measured, including the fractions of longitudinal fL and parity-odd transverse f perpendicular amplitudes, branching fraction, strong phases, and six parameters sensitive to CP violation. We use the dependence on the Kpi invariant mass of the interference between the JP=1(-) and 0+ Kpi components to resolve the discrete ambiguity in the determination of the strong and weak phases. Our measurements of fL=0.49+/-0.05+/-0.03, f perpendicular=0.21+/-0.05+/-0.02, and the strong phases point to the presence of a substantial helicity-plus amplitude from a presently unknown source.

σ and κ mesons as broad dynamical resonances in one-meson-exchange model

The existences of broad scalar σ (600) and κ (700) mesons have been discussed intensively in the experimental and theoretical studies on ππ and πK scatterings. By using chiral perturbation model, J. Oller, A. Gómez and J. R. Peláez confirmed the existence of these mesons as dynamical resonances. In meson-exchange models, their existence has not been established yet. In this talk, using the quasi-potential of meson-exchange model and Lippmann-Schwinger equation, we determine the T and S-matrices, from which we could find the positions of poles in physical amplitudes in the complex E-plane. With the full treatment of meson-meson interactions (ππ - πK - πη - ηη and πK - ηK) , for the first time, the existence of the scalar σ (600) and κ (700) mesons are confirmed in one-meson-exchange model. There are two kinds of form factors in our model: the monopole and the Gaussian. Our recent results show that the poles σ and κ appear at around 410 - i 540 MeV and 650 - i 20 MeV for monopole form factors, respectively. For Gaussian form factors, the poles σ and κ, respectively, are at 360 - i 510 MeV and 649 - i 190 MeV.

K[Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] are reconstructed via their decay into charged hadrons with the ALICE detector in the rapidity range [Formula: see text]. The transverse momentum spectra, measured as a function of the multiplicity, have a p[Formula: see text] range from 0 to 15 GeV/ c for K[Formula: see text] and from 0.3 to 21 GeV/ c for [Formula: see text]. Integrated yields, mean transverse momenta and particle ratios are reported and compared with results in pp collisions at [Formula: see text][Formula: see text] 7 TeV and Pb-Pb collisions at [Formula: see text][Formula: see text] 2.76 TeV. In Pb-Pb and p-Pb collisions, K[Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] probe the hadronic phase of the system and contribute to the study of particle formation mechanisms by comparison with other identified hadrons. For this purpose, the mean transverse momenta and the differential proton-to-[Formula: see text] ratio are discussed as a function of the multiplicity of the event. The short-lived K[Formula: see text] is measured to investigate re-scattering effects, believed to be related to the size of the system and to the lifetime of the hadronic phase.

Absorptive corrections for vector mesons: matching to complex mass scheme and longitudinal corrections

Unstable spin-1 particles are properly described by including absorptive corrections to the electromagnetic vertex and propagator, without breaking the electromagnetic gauge invariance. We show that the modified propagator can be set in a complex mass form, provided the mass and width parameters, which are properly defined at the pole, are replaced by energy dependent functions fulfilling the same requirements at the pole. We exemplify the case for the {K}* (892) vector meson, and find that the mass function deviates around 2 MeV from the Kπ threshold to the pole, and that the width function exhibits a different behavior compared to the uncorrected energy dependent width. Considering the {τ }-\\to {K}{{S}}{π }-{ν }τ decay as dominated by the {K}* (892) and {K}{\\prime * }(1410) vectors and one scalar particle, we exhibit the role of the transversal and longitudinal corrections to the vector propagator by obtaining the modified vector and scalar form factors. The modified vector form factor is found to be the same as in the complex mass form, while the scalar form factor receives a modification from the longitudinal correction to the vector propagator. A fit to the experimental Kπ spectrum shows that the phase induced by the presence of this new contribution in the scalar sector improves the description of the experimental data in the troublesome region around 0.7 GeV. Besides that, the correction to the scalar form factor is found to be negligible.

Translation of time-reversal violation in the neutral K-meson system into a table-top mechanical system

NASA Astrophysics Data System (ADS)

Reiser, Andreas; Schubert, Klaus R.; Stiewe, Jürgen

2012-08-01

Weak interactions break time-reversal (T) symmetry in the two-state system of neutral K-mesons. We present and discuss a two-state mechanical system, i.e. a Foucault-type pendulum on a rotating table, for a full representation of {K^0}{{\\overlineK}{}^0} transitions by the pendulum motions including T violation. The pendulum moves with two different oscillation frequencies and two different magnetic dampings. Its equation of motion is identical to the differential equation for the real part of the CPT-symmetric K-meson wavefunction. The pendulum is able to represent microscopic CP and T violation with CPT symmetry owing to the macroscopic Coriolis force, which breaks the symmetry under reversal-of-motion. Video clips of the pendulum motions are given as supplementary material.

Resonances in coupled πK, ηK scattering from lattice QCD

DOE PAGES

Wilson, David J.; Dudek, Jozef J.; Edwards, Robert G.; ...

2015-03-10

Coupled-channel πK and ηK scattering amplitudes are determined by studying the finite-volume energy spectra obtained from dynamical lattice QCD calculations. Using a large basis of interpolating operators, including both those resembling a qq-bar construction and those resembling a pair of mesons with relative momentum, a reliable excited-state spectrum can be obtained. Working at mπ = 391 MeV, we find a gradual increase in the JP = 0+ πK phase-shift which may be identified with a broad scalar resonance that couples strongly to πK and weakly to ηK. The low-energy behavior of this amplitude suggests a virtual bound-state that may bemore » related to the κ resonance. A bound state with JP = 1- is found very close to the πK threshold energy, whose coupling to the πK channel is compatible with that of the experimental K*(892). Evidence is found for a narrow resonance in JP = 2+. Isospin–3/2 πK scattering is also studied and non-resonant phase-shifts spanning the whole elastic scattering region are obtained.« less

Anomalous tqZ coupling effects in rare B- and K-meson decays

NASA Astrophysics Data System (ADS)

Li, Xin-Qiang; Yang, Ya-Dong; Yuan, Xing-Bo

2012-03-01

As a top-factory, the LHC is performing a direct study of top-quark anomalous FCNC couplings, which are, however, correlated closely with the rare B- and K-meson decays. In this paper, we study the effects of anomalous tqZ (with q = u, c) couplings in the rare decays B s,d → μ + μ -, B → X s ν overline ν , B → K (*) ν overline ν , K + → π+ ν overline ν , and K L → π0 ν overline ν . With the up-to-date experimental bounds on the branching ratios of these channels, constraints on the left-handed anomalous couplings X_{{ct}}^L and X_{{ut}}^L are derived, respectively. With these low-energy constraints taken into account, we find that, for real couplings X_{{ct}}^L and X_{{ut}}^L , the indirect upper bounds on B( t → qZ) are much lower than that from the D0 collaboration, but are still compatible with the 5 σ discovery potential of ATLAS with an integrated luminosity of 10 fb-1. With refined measurements to be available at the LHCb, the future super-B factories, the NA62 at CERN, and the KOTO at J-PARC, closer correlations between the t → qZ and the rare B- and K-meson decays are expected in the near future, which will be helpful for the searches of the top-quark FCNC decays at the LHC.

Regarding the scalar mesons

Based on the main assumption that the D{sub sJ}(2860) belongs to the 2{sup 3}P{sub 0} qq multiplet, the masses of the scalar meson nonet are estimated in the framework of the relativistic independent quark model, Regge phenomenology, and meson-meson mixing. We suggest that the a{sub 0}(1005), K{sub 0}*(1062), f{sub 0}(1103), and f{sub 0}(564) constitute the ground scalar meson nonet; it is supposed that these states would likely correspond to the observed states a{sub 0}(980), {kappa}(900), f{sub 0}(980), and f{sub 0}(600)/{sigma}, respectively. Also a{sub 0}(1516), K{sub 0}*(1669), f{sub 0}(1788), and f{sub 0}(1284) constitute the first radial scalar meson nonet, it ismore » supposed that these states would likely correspond to the observed states a{sub 0}(1450), K{sub 0}*(1430), f{sub 0}(1710), and f{sub 0}(1370), respectively. The scalar state f{sub 0}(1500) may be a good candidate for the ground scalar glueball. The agreement between the present findings and those given by other different approaches is satisfactory.« less

Implications of R parity violating Yukawa couplings in {delta}S=1 semileptonic decays of K mesons

Mir, Azeem; Tahir, Farida; Haseeb, Mahnaz Q.

We present a class of constraints on products and combinations of Yukawa couplings for R parity violating (Re{sub p}) and lepton flavor conserving as well as violating semileptonic decays of K mesons into light pseudoscalar mesons along with two charged leptons at 1{sigma} and 2{sigma} levels. We compare the constraints obtained by semileptonic rare decays with pure leptonic rare decays and find that most of these bounds are now improved over the existing ones. We also study the forward-backward asymmetry in the decays of K{sup +}{yields}{pi}{sup +}l{sup +}l{sup -} (l=e and {mu}) in the absence of tensor terms. The asymmetrymore » is found to be up to O(10{sup -3}) (O(10{sup -1})) for the electron and muon modes, respectively. The asymmetry is found to be as large as O(10{sup -1}) in the case of K{sup +}{yields}{pi}{sup +}{mu}{sup +}{mu}{sup -}.« less

On the pair correlations of neutral K, D, B and BS mesons with close momenta produced in inclusive multiparticle processes

The phenomenological structure of inclusive cross-sections of the production of two neutral K mesons in collisions of hadrons and nuclei is investigated taking into account the strangeness conservation in strong and electromagnetic interactions. Relations describing the dependenceof the correlations of two short-lived and two long-lived neutral kaons KS∘ KS∘, KL∘ KL∘ and the correlations of ;mixed; pairs KS∘ KL∘ at small relative momenta upon the space-time parameters of the generation region of K∘ and Kbar∘ mesons have been obtained. It is shown that under the strangeness conservation the correlation functions of the pairs KS∘ KS∘ and KL∘ KL∘, produced in the same inclusive process, coincide, and the difference between the correlation functions of the pairs KS∘ KS∘ and KS∘ KL∘ is conditioned exclusively by the production of the pairs of non-identical neutral kaons K∘Kbar∘. Analogous correlations for the pairs of neutral heavy mesons D∘ ,B∘ and BS∘, generated in multiple processes with the charm (beauty) conservation, are analyzed, and differences from the case of neutral K mesons are discussed.

The phi-meson and Chiral-mass-meson production in heavy-ion collisions as potential probes of quark-gluon-plasma and Chiral symmetry transitions

Possibilities of observing abundances of phi mesons and narrow hadronic pairs, as results of QGP and Chiral transitions, are considered for nucleus-nucleus interactions. Kinematical requirements in forming close pairs are satisfied in K+K decays of S(975) and delta (980) mesons with small phi, and phi (91020) mesons with large PT, and in pi-pi decays of familiar resonance mesons only in a partially restored chiral symmetry. Gluon-gluon dominance in QGP can enhance phi meson production. High hadronization rates of primordial resonance mesons which form narrow hadronic pairs are not implausible. Past cosmic ray evidences of anomalous phi production and narrow pair abundances are considered.

D meson hadronic decays at CLEO-c

NASA Astrophysics Data System (ADS)

Yang, Fan

The CLEO-c experiment is the best arena in which to study most D meson decay phenomena. Precise measurements of hadronic deecays of D mesons allow us to better constrain parameters of the Standard Model. We study the inclusive decays of D+s mesons, using data collected near the D*+sD-s peak production energy Ecm = 4170 MeV by the CLEO-c detector. We report the inclusive yields of D+s decays to K+X, K-X, K0SX , pi+X, pi-X, pi 0X, etaX, eta'X , φX, oX and f0(980)X, and also decays into pairs of kaons, D+s → KK¯X. Using these measurements, we obtain an overview of D+s decays. The measurements of inclusive decays of D+s mesons indicate that the inclusive o yield, Ds → oX, is substantial. Using the same D*+sD-s data sample, we search for D+s exclusive hadronic decays involving o. We report the first observation of D+s → pi+pi0o decay and first upper limits on D+s → pi+etao, D+s → K+pi0o, D+s → K+o, and D+s → K+etao decays. Our measurement of D+s → pi+o decay is consistent with other experiments. Using the data collected on psi(3770) resonance and near the D*+sD-s peak production energy by the CLEO-c detector, we study the decays of charmed mesons D0, D +, and Ds to pairs of light pseudoscalar mesons P. We report branching fractions of Cabibbo-favored, singly-Cabibbo-suppressed, and doubly-Cabibbo-suppressed decays. We normalize against the Cabibbo-favored D modes, D 0 → K-pi+, D+ → K-pi +pi+, and D+s → K+ K0S. These measurements of D → PP decays allow the testing of flavor symmetry and the extraction of key amplitudes.

We present measurements of partial branching fractions of B→K+X, B→K0X, and B→π+X, where X denotes any accessible final state above the endpoint for B decays to charmed mesons, specifically for momenta of the candidate hadron greater than 2.34 (2.36) GeV for kaons (pions) in the B rest frame. These measurements are sensitive to potential new-physics particles which could enter the b→s(d) loop transitions. The analysis is performed on a data sample consisting of 383×106BB¯ pairs collected with the BABAR detector at the PEP-II e+e- asymmetric energy collider. We observe the inclusive B→π+X process, and we set upper limits for B→K+X and B→K0X. Our results for these inclusive branching fractions are consistent with those of known exclusive modes, and exclude large enhancements due to sources of new physics.

The strong violation ( approximates 35%) of the rule DELTA T = 1/2 on the Dalitz piot for the K yields 3 pi decays is considered in the framework of the nonlinear realization of the chiral SU(2) x SU(2) symmetry. The Lagrangian without derivatives obtained previously is used to describe the contact weak K pi interaction. It is postulated that the enhancement of effects related to the electromagnetic mass differences of pi and K mesons in the K yields 3 pi amplitudes is due to the PCAC modification: partial delta A = constant pi (1 - 2 alpha lambda /supmore » 2/ KK). At alpha = 0.8 the predictions of the model are shown to coincide with the experiment. (auth)« less

We report the first evidence for isospin violation in B→K^{*}γ and the first measurement of the difference of CP asymmetries between B^{+}→K^{*+}γ and B^{0}→K^{*0}γ. This analysis is based on the data sample containing 772×10^{6}BB[over ¯] pairs that was collected with the Belle detector at the KEKB energy-asymmetric e^{+}e^{-} collider. We find evidence for the isospin violation with a significance of 3.1σ, Δ_{0+}=[+6.2±1.5(stat)±0.6(syst)±1.2(f_{+-}/f_{00})]%, where the third uncertainty is due to the uncertainty on the fraction of B^{+}B^{-} to B^{0}B[over ¯]^{0} production in ϒ(4S) decays. The measured value is consistent with predictions of the standard model. The result for the difference of CP asymmetries is ΔA_{CP}=[+2.4±2.8(stat)±0.5(syst)]%, consistent with zero. The measured branching fractions and CP asymmetries for charged and neutral B meson decays are the most precise to date. We also calculate the ratio of branching fractions of B^{0}→K^{*0}γ to B_{s}^{0}→ϕγ.

The first observation of the D^{0}→π^{+}π^{-}μ^{+}μ^{-} and D^{0}→K^{+}K^{-}μ^{+}μ^{-} decays is reported using a sample of proton-proton collisions collected by LHCb at a center-of-mass energy of 8 TeV, and corresponding to 2  fb^{-1} of integrated luminosity. The corresponding branching fractions are measured using as normalization the decay D^{0}→K^{-}π^{+}[μ^{+}μ^{-}]_{ρ^{0}/ω}, where the two muons are consistent with coming from the decay of a ρ^{0} or ω meson. The results are B(D^{0}→π^{+}π^{-}μ^{+}μ^{-})=(9.64±0.48±0.51±0.97)×10^{-7} and B(D^{0}→K^{+}K^{-}μ^{+}μ^{-})=(1.54±0.27±0.09±0.16)×10^{-7}, where the uncertainties are statistical, systematic, and due to the limited knowledge of the normalization branching fraction. The dependence of the branching fraction on the dimuon mass is also investigated.

The first observation of the D0→π+π-μ+μ- and D0→K+K-μ+μ- decays is reported using a sample of proton-proton collisions collected by LHCb at a center-of-mass energy of 8 TeV, and corresponding to 2 fb-1 of integrated luminosity. The corresponding branching fractions are measured using as normalization the decay D0→K-π+[μ+μ-]ρ0/ω, where the two muons are consistent with coming from the decay of a ρ0 or ω meson. The results are B (D0→π+π-μ+μ- )=(9.64 ±0.48 ±0.51 ±0.97 )×10-7 and B (D0→K+K-μ+μ- )=(1.54 ±0.27 ±0.09 ±0.16 )×10-7 , where the uncertainties are statistical, systematic, and due to the limited knowledge of the normalization branching fraction. The dependence of the branching fraction on the dimuon mass is also investigated.

Present and future K and B meson mixing constraints on TeV scale left-right symmetry

We revisit the ΔF=2 transitions in the K and Bd ,s neutral meson systems in the context of the minimal left-right symmetric model. We take into account, in addition to up-to-date phenomenological data, the contributions related to the renormalization of the flavor-changing neutral Higgs tree-level amplitude. These contributions were neglected in recent discussions, albeit formally needed in order to obtain a gauge-independent result. Their impact on the minimal LR model is crucial and twofold. First, the effects are relevant in B meson oscillations, for both CP conserving and CP violating observables, so that for the first time these imply constraints on the LR scenario which compete with those of the K sector (plagued by long-distance uncertainties). Second, they sizably contribute to the indirect kaon CP violation parameter ɛ. We discuss the bounds from B and K mesons in both cases of LR symmetry: generalized parity (P) and charge conjugation (C). In the case of P, the interplay between the CP-violation parameters ɛ and ɛ' leads us to rule out the regime of very hierarchical bidoublet vacuum expectation values v2/v1

Method to study complex systems of mesons in lattice QCD

DOE PAGES

Detmold, William; Savage, Martin J.

2010-07-30

Correlation functions involving many hadrons allow finite density systems to be explored with Lattice QCD. Recently, systems with up to 12more » $$\\pi^+$$'s or $K^+$'s have been studied to determine the the $3$-$$\\pi^+$$ and $3$-$K^+$ interactions and the corresponding chemical potential has been determined as a function of density in each case. We derive recursion relations between correlation functions that allow us to extend this work to systems of arbitrary numbers of mesons and to systems containing arbitrary different types of mesons such as $$\\pi^+$$'s, $K^+$'s, $D^0$'s and $B^+$'s. These relations allow for the study of finite-density systems in arbitrary volumes, and the study of high-density systems. Systems comprised of up to N=12 m mesons can be explored with Lattice QCD calculations utilizing $m$ different sources for the quark propagators. As the recursion relations require only a small, N-independent, number of operations to derive the N+1 meson contractions from the N meson contractions, they are compuationally feasible.« less

Light-front holographic distribution amplitudes of pseudoscalar mesons and their application to B -meson decays

DOE PAGES

Chang, Qin; Brodsky, Stanley J.; Li, Xin-Qiang

2017-05-30

In this article the dynamical spin effects of the light-front holographic wave functions for light pseudoscalar mesons are studied. These improved wave functions are then confronted with a number of hadronic observables: the decay constants of π and K mesons, their ξ -moments, the pion-to-photon transition form factor, and the pure annihilationmore » $$\\bar{B}_s$$ → π + π - and $$\\bar{B}_d$$ → K + K - decays. Taking f π , fK , and their ratio fK / f π as constraints, we perform a χ 2 analysis for the holographic parameters, including the mass scale parameter $$\\sqrtλ$$ and the effective quark masses, and find that the fitted results are quite consistent with the ones obtained from the light-quark hadronic Regge trajectories. In addition, we also show that the end point divergence appearing in the pure annihilation $$\\bar{B}_s$$ → π + π - and $$\\bar{B}_d$$ → K + K - decays can be controlled well by using these improved light-front holographic distribution amplitudes.« less

We have measured the time-dependent decay rate for the process B→J/ψK*0(892) in a sample of about 88×106 Υ(4S)→BB¯ decays collected with the BABAR detector at the PEP-II asymmetric-energy B factory at SLAC. In this sample we study flavor-tagged events in which one neutral B meson is reconstructed in the J/ψK*0 or J/ψK¯*0 final state. We measure the coefficients of the cosine and sine terms in the time-dependent asymmetries for J/ψK*0 and J/ψK¯*0, find them to be consistent with the standard model expectations, and set upper limits at 90% confidence level (C.L.) on the decay amplitude ratios |A(B¯0→J/ψK*0)|/|A(B0→J/ψK*0)|<0.26 and |A(B0→J/ψK¯*0)|/|A(B¯0→J/ψK¯*0)|<0.32. For a single ratio of wrong-flavor to favored amplitudes for B0 and B¯0 combined, we obtain an upper limit of 0.25 at 90% C.L.

Evidence for Isospin Violation and Measurement of C P Asymmetries in B → K * ( 892 ) γ

DOE Office of Scientific and Technical Information (OSTI.GOV)

Horiguchi, T.; Ishikawa, A.; Yamamoto, H.

Here, we report the first evidence for isospin violation in B → K*γ and the first measurement of the difference of CP asymmetries between B+→K*+γ and B 0 → K* 0γ. This analysis is based on the data sample containing 772 × 10 6more » $$B\\overline{B}$$ pairs that was collected with the Belle detector at the KEKB energy-asymmetric e +e - collider. We find evidence for the isospin violation with a significance of 3.1σ, Δ 0+ = [+6.2 ± 1.5(stat) ± 0.6(syst) ± 1.2(f +-/ f 00)]% , where the third uncertainty is due to the uncertainty on the fraction of B +B - to B 0B 0 production in Υ(4S) decays. The measured value is consistent with predictions of the standard model. The result for the difference of CP asymmetries is ΔA CP = [+2.4 ± 2.8(stat)± 0.5(syst)]% , consistent with zero. The measured branching fractions and CP asymmetries for charged and neutral B meson decays are the most precise to date. Finally, we also calculate the ratio of branching fractions of B 0 → K* 0γ to B$$0\\atop{s}$$ → Φγ.« less

We report the first evidence for isospin violation in B →K*γ and the first measurement of the difference of C P asymmetries between B+→K*+γ and B0→K*0γ . This analysis is based on the data sample containing 772 ×106B B ¯ pairs that was collected with the Belle detector at the KEKB energy-asymmetric e+e- collider. We find evidence for the isospin violation with a significance of 3.1 σ , Δ0 +=[+6.2 ±1.5 (stat )±0.6 (syst )±1.2 (f+-/f00)]%, where the third uncertainty is due to the uncertainty on the fraction of B+B- to B0B¯0 production in ϒ (4 S ) decays. The measured value is consistent with predictions of the standard model. The result for the difference of C P asymmetries is Δ AC P=[+2.4 ±2.8 (stat )±0.5 (syst )]% , consistent with zero. The measured branching fractions and C P asymmetries for charged and neutral B meson decays are the most precise to date. We also calculate the ratio of branching fractions of B0→K*0γ to Bs0→ϕ γ .

We report the observation of two narrow resonances consistent with states of orbitally excited (L=1) B_(s) mesons using 1 fb;(-1) of pp[over ] collisions at sqrt[s]=1.96 TeV collected with the Collider Detector at Fermilab II detector at the Fermilab Tevatron. We use two-body decays into K- and B+ mesons reconstructed as B(+)-->J/psiK(+), J/psi-->mu(+)mu(-) or B(+)-->D[over ](0)pi(+), D[over ](0)-->K(+)pi(-). We deduce the masses of the two states to be m(B_(s1))=5829.4+/-0.7 MeV/c(2) and m(B_(s2);(*))=5839.6+/-0.7 MeV/c;(2).

Model prediction for temperature dependence of meson pole masses from lattice QCD results on meson screening masses

NASA Astrophysics Data System (ADS)

Ishii, Masahiro; Kouno, Hiroaki; Yahiro, Masanobu

2017-06-01

We propose a practical effective model by introducing temperature (T ) dependence to the coupling strengths of four-quark and six-quark Kobayashi-Maskawa-'t Hooft interactions in the 2 +1 flavor Polyakov-loop extended Nambu-Jona-Lasinio model. The T dependence is determined from lattice QCD (LQCD) data on the renormalized chiral condensate around the pseudocritical temperature Tcχ of chiral crossover and the screening-mass difference between π and a0 mesons in T >1.1 Tcχ where only the U (1 )A-symmetry breaking survives. The model well reproduces LQCD data on screening masses Mξscr(T ) for both pseudoscalar mesons (ξ =π ,K ,η ,η' ) and scalar ones (ξ =a0,κ ,σ ,f0 ), particularly in T ≳Tcχ . Using this effective model, we predict meson pole masses Mξpole(T ) for scalar and pseudoscalar mesons. For η' meson, the prediction is consistent with the experimental value at finite T measured in heavy-ion collisions. We point out that the relation Mξscr(T )-Mξpole(T )≈Mξ' scr(T )-Mξ' pole(T ) is pretty good when ξ and ξ' are the scalar mesons, and show that the relation Mξscr(T )/Mξ' scr(T )≈Mξpole(T )/Mξ' pole(T ) is well satisfied within 20% error when ξ and ξ' are the pseudoscalar mesons and also when ξ and ξ' are the scalar mesons.

Improved perturbative QCD formalism for Bc meson decays

NASA Astrophysics Data System (ADS)

Liu, Xin; Li, Hsiang-nan; Xiao, Zhen-Jun

2018-06-01

We derive the kT resummation for doubly heavy-flavored Bc meson decays by including the charm quark mass effect into the known formula for a heavy-light system. The resultant Sudakov factor is employed in the perutrbative QCD study of the "golden channel" Bc+→J /ψ π+. With a reasonable model for the Bc meson distribution amplitude, which maintains approximate on-shell conditions of both the partonic bottom and charm quarks, it is observed that the imaginary piece of the Bc→J /ψ transition form factor appears to be power suppressed, and the Bc+→J /ψ π+ branching ratio is not lower than 10-3. The above improved perturbative QCD formalism is applicable to Bc meson decays to other charmonia and charmed mesons.

Dalitz plot analysis of the decay B 0 ( B ¯ 0 ) → K ± π ∓ π 0

DOE PAGES

Aubert, B.; Bona, M.; Karyotakis, Y.; ...

2008-09-12

Here, we report a Dalitz-plot analysis of the charmless hadronic decays of neutral B mesons to K ± π ∓ π 0 . With a sample of ( 231.8 ± 2.6 ) × 10 6 Υ ( 4 S ) → Bmore » $$\\bar{B}$$ decays collected by the BABAR detector at the PEP-II asymmetric-energy B Factory at SLAC, we measure the magnitudes and phases of the intermediate resonant and nonresonant amplitudes for B 0 and $$\\bar{B}$$ 0 decays and determine the corresponding C P -averaged branching fractions and charge asymmetries. Furthermore, we measure the inclusive branching fraction and C P -violating charge asymmetry and found it to be B ( B 0 → K + π - π 0 ) = ( 35.7$$+2.6\\atop{-1.5}$$ + 2.6 - 1.5 ± 2.2 ) × 10 - 6 and A C P = - 0.030 $$+ 0.045\\atop{- 0.051}$$ ± 0.055 where the first errors are statistical and the second systematic. We observe the decay B 0 → K * 0 ( 892 ) π 0 with the branching fraction B ( B 0 → K * 0 ( 892 ) π 0 ) = ( 3.6 $$+ 0.7\\atop- {0.8}$$ ± 0.4 ) × 10 - 6 . This measurement differs from zero by 5.6 standard deviations (including the systematic uncertainties). The selected sample also contains B 0 → $$\\bar{D}$$ 0 π 0 decays where $$\\bar{D}$$ 0 → K + π - , and we measure B ( B 0 → $$\\bar{D}$$ 0π 0 ) = ( 2.93 ± 0.17 ± 0.18 ) × 10 - 4 .« less

Impact of scalar mesons on the rare B-decays

NASA Astrophysics Data System (ADS)

Issadykov, Aidos; Ivanov, Mikhail A.; Sakhiyev, Sayabek K.

2015-11-01

In the wake of exploring uncertainty in the full angular distribution of the B → Kπ + μ+μ- caused by the presence of the intermediate scalar K0∗ meson, we perform the straightforward calculation of the B(Bs) → S (S is a scalar meson) transition form factors in the full kinematical region within the covariant quark model. We restrict ourselves by the scalar mesons below 1 GeV: a0(980),f0(500),f0(980),K0∗(800). As an application of the obtained results we calculate the widths of the semileptonic and rare decays B(Bs) → Sℓν¯, B(Bs) → Sℓℓ¯ and B(Bs) → Sνν¯. We compare our results with those obtained in other approaches.

Search for penguin decays of B mesons at CDF

NASA Astrophysics Data System (ADS)

Kordas, Kostas

Using a data sample of integrated luminosity ∫ Ldt = 28.9 +/- 1.2 pb-1 of proton-antiproton collisions at a center-of-mass energy s = 1.8 TeV collected with the CDF detector at the Fermilab Tevatron collider, we searched for "penguin" radiative decays of B0d and B0s mesons which involve the flavor-changing neutral-current transition of a b quark into an s quark with the emission of a photon, b→sg . Specifically, we searched for the decays B0d→K*0g, K*0→K+p- and B0s→fg, f→K+K- , as well as for the charge conjugate chains. In order to collect such decays, we designed a specialized trigger which required information on all the decay products of the B meson decay chain, the first such trigger in a hadron collider environment. This "penguin" trigger collected data during the last quarter of the 1994--1996 data taking period. After all selection criteria, we are left with one candidate B0d→K*0g decay and no B0s→fg candidates in the entire data sample. We then proceed to set upper limits on the branching fractions of the penguin channels. We exploit the topological similarity between the B¯→e-D0 X,D0→K-p + and the penguin decays, by forming ratios of branching fractions between the penguin and the B¯→e-D0 X channels. Uncertainties associated with the B meson production cross section, common efficiency corrections and other systematic effects are minimal in the ratio of branching fractions. The uncertainty on the B¯→e-D0 X yield is the biggest contribution to the total uncertainty on the penguin branching fraction. We assume equal production rates for B+u and B0d mesons, while the probability of producing B0s mesons relative to B0d mesons, fs/fd, is taken to be 1/3. The inferred upper limits on the ratios of branching fractions are B(B0 s→fg)B( B¯→e-D0 X)<3.5x10-3 at90% C.L. B(B 0d→K*0g) B(B¯→e- D0X)<1.9x10-3 at90%C.L. Relative branching fraction measurements were combined with the branching fraction measurement of the B¯→e-D0 X,D0→K

Charmless hadronic B decays into a tensor meson

DOE Office of Scientific and Technical Information (OSTI.GOV)

Cheng, Hai-Yang; C. N. Yang Institute for Theoretical Physics, State University of New York Stony Brook, Stony Brook, New York 11794; Yang, Kwei-Chou

2011-02-01

Two-body charmless hadronic B decays involving a tensor meson in the final state are studied within the framework of QCD factorization (QCDF). Because of the G-parity of the tensor meson, both the chiral-even and chiral-odd two-parton light-cone distribution amplitudes of the tensor meson are antisymmetric under the interchange of momentum fractions of the quark and antiquark in the SU(3) limit. Our main results are: (i) In the naieve factorization approach, the decays such as B{sup -}{yields}K{sub 2}*{sup 0}{pi}{sup -} and B{sup 0}{yields}K{sub 2}*{sup -}{pi}{sup +} with a tensor meson emitted are prohibited because a tensor meson cannot be created frommore » the local V-A or tensor current. Nevertheless, the decays receive nonfactorizable contributions in QCDF from vertex, penguin and hard spectator corrections. The experimental observation of B{sup -}{yields}K{sub 2}*{sup 0}{pi}{sup -} indicates the importance of nonfactorizable effects. (ii) For penguin-dominated B{yields}TP and TV decays, the predicted rates in naieve factorization are usually too small by 1 to 2 orders of magnitude. In QCDF, they are enhanced by power corrections from penguin annihilation and nonfactorizable contributions. (iii) The dominant penguin contributions to B{yields}K{sub 2}*{eta}{sup (')} arise from the processes: (a) b{yields}sss{yields}s{eta}{sub s} and (b) b{yields}sqq{yields}qK{sub 2}* with {eta}{sub q}=(uu+dd)/{radical}(2) and {eta}{sub s}=ss. The interference, constructive for K{sub 2}*{eta}{sup '} and destructive for K{sub 2}*{eta}, explains why {Gamma}(B{yields}K{sub 2}*{eta}{sup '})>>{Gamma}(B{yields}K{sub 2}*{eta}). (iv) We use the measured rates of B{yields}K{sub 2}*({omega},{phi}) to extract the penguin-annihilation parameters {rho}{sub A}{sup TV} and {rho}{sub A}{sup VT} and the observed longitudinal polarization fractions f{sub L}(K{sub 2}*{omega}) and f{sub L}(K{sub 2}*{phi}) to fix the phases {phi}{sub A}{sup VT} and {phi}{sub A}{sup TV}. (v) The experimental

Aston, D.; Awaji, N.; D'Amore, J.

A model incorporating K* resonance contributions and simple backgrounds is shown to quantitatively reproduce the mass dependence of the partial wave amplitudes governing the production and decay of the anti K/sup 0/..pi../sup +/..pi../sup -/ system. A fit of this model to these amplitudes confirms the resonance interpretations of the well-established 1/sup +/ K/sub 1/(1400), the 2/sup +/ K/sub 2/*(1430), the 3/sup -/ K/sub 3/*(1780), and the less well-known 1/sup -/ states, the K*(1410) and the K*(1790). The 4/sup +/ amplitudes are shown to be consistent with the production and decay of the 4/sup +/ K/sub 4/*(2060). A second 2/sup +/more » enhancement at a mass of approx.1.95 GeV/c/sup 2/ can be interpreted as resonant and may be the radial excitation of the K/sub 2/*(1430) or the triplet partner of the K/sub 4/*(2060). New measurements of the masses, widths and branching ratios of these states are given, and the implications of these data for the spectroscopy of the nonstrange meson sector are discussed.« less

Predictions for neutral K and B meson physics

NASA Astrophysics Data System (ADS)

Dimopoulos, Savas; Hall, Lawrence J.; Raby, Stuart

1992-12-01

Using supersymmetric grand unified theories, we have recently invented a framework which allows the prediction of three quark masses, two of the parameters of the Kobayashi-Maskawa matrix, and tanβ, the ratio of the two electroweak vacuum expectation values. These predictions are used to calculate ɛ and ɛ' in the kaon system, the mass mixing in the B0d and B0s systems, and the size of CP asymmetries in the decays of neutral B mesons to explicit final states of given CP.

Equal amounts of matter and antimatter are predicted to have been produced in the Big Bang, but our observable Universe is clearly matter-dominated. One of the prerequisites for understanding this elimination of antimatter is the nonconservation of charge-parity (CP) symmetry. So far, two types of CP violation have been observed in the neutral K meson (K(0)) and B meson (B(0)) systems: CP violation involving the mixing between K(0) and its antiparticle (and likewise for B(0) and ), and direct CP violation in the decay of each meson. The observed effects for both types of CP violation are substantially larger for the B(0) meson system. However, they are still consistent with the standard model of particle physics, which has a unique source of CP violation that is known to be too small to account for the matter-dominated Universe. Here we report that the direct CP violation in charged B(+/-)-->K(+/-)pi(0) decay is different from that in the neutral B(0) counterpart. The direct CP-violating decay rate asymmetry, (that is, the difference between the number of observed B(-)-->K(-)pi(0) event versus B(+)-->K(+) pi(0) events, normalized to the sum of these events) is measured to be about +7%, with an uncertainty that is reduced by a factor of 1.7 from a previous measurement. However, the asymmetry for versus B(0)-->K(+)pi(-) is at the -10% level. Although it is susceptible to strong interaction effects that need further clarification, this large deviation in direct CP violation between charged and neutral B meson decays could be an indication of new sources of CP violation-which would help to explain the dominance of matter in the Universe.

Measurement of K 0 S and K *0 in p+p, d+Au, and Cu+Cu collisions at sqrt S NN = 200 GeV

DOE PAGES

Adare, A.; Aidala, C.

2014-11-01

The PHENIX experiment at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider has performed a systematic study of K 0 S and K *0 meson production at midrapidity in p+p, d+Au, and Cu+Cu collisions at sqrt S NN = 200 GeV. The K 0 S and K *0 mesons are reconstructed via their K 0 S and π 0(→γγ)π 0 (→γγ) and K *0 → K ± π ± decay modes, respectively. The measured transverse-momentum spectra are used to determine the nuclear modification factor of K 0 S and K *0 mesons in d+Au and Cu+Cu collisions at different centralities. In the d+Aumore » collisions, the nuclear modification factor of K 0 S and K *0 mesons is almost constant as a function of transverse momentum and is consistent with unity showing that cold-nuclear-matter effects do not play a significant role in the measured kinematic range. In Cu+Cu collisions, within the uncertainties no nuclear modification is registered in peripheral collisions. In central collisions, both mesons show suppression relative to the expectations from the p+p yield scaled by the number of binary nucleon-nucleon collisions in the Cu+Cu system. In the p T range 2–5 GeV/c, the strange mesons ( K 0 S, K *0) similarly to the Φ meson with hidden strangeness, show an intermediate suppression between the more suppressed light quark mesons (π 0) and the nonsuppressed baryons (p, p-bar). At higher transverse momentum, p T > 5 GeV/c, production of all particles is similarly suppressed by a factor of ≈2. (auth)« less

Direct CP Violation in Charmless Hadronic B-Meson Decays at the PEP-II Asymmetric B-Meson Factory

DOE Office of Scientific and Technical Information (OSTI.GOV)

Telnov, Alexandre Valerievich; /UC, Berkeley

2005-05-06

The study of the quark transition b {yields} s{bar s}s, which is a pure loop-level (''penguin'') process leading to several B-meson-decay final states, most notably {phi}K, is arguably the hottest topic in B-meson physics today. The reason is the sensitivity of the amplitudes and the CP-violating asymmetries in such processes to physics beyond the Standard Model. By performing these measurements, we improve our understanding of the phenomenon of combined-parity (CP) violation, which is believed to be responsible for the dominance of matter over antimatter in our Universe. Here, we present measurements of branching fractions and charge asymmetries in the decaysmore » B{sup +} {yields} {phi}K{sup +} and B{sup 0} {yields} {phi}K{sup 0} in a sample of approximately 89 million B{bar B} pairs collected by the BABAR detector at the PEP-II asymmetric-energy B-meson Factory at SLAC. We determine {Beta}(B{sup +} {yields} {phi}K{sup +}) = (10.0{sub -0.8}{sup +0.9} {+-} 0.5) x 10{sup -6} and {Beta}(B{sup 0} {yields} {phi}K{sup 0}) = (8.4{sub -1.3}{sup +1.5} {+-} 0.5) x 10{sup -6}, where the first error is statistical and the second is systematic. Additionally, we measure the CP-violating charge asymmetry {Alpha}{sub CP}(B{sup {+-}} {yields} {phi}K{sup {+-}}) = 0.04 {+-} 0.09 {+-} 0.01, with a 90% confidence-level interval of [-0.10, 0.18], and set an upper limit on the CKM- and color-suppressed decay B{sup +} {yields} {phi}{pi}{sup +}, {Beta}(B{sup +} {yields} {phi}{pi}{sup +}) < 0.41 x 10{sup -6} (at the 90% confidence level). Our results are consistent with the Standard Model, which predicts {Alpha}{sub CP}(B{sup {+-}} {yields} {phi}K{sup {+-}}) {approx}< 1% and {Beta}(B {yields} {phi}{tau}) << 10{sup -7}. Since many models of physics beyond the Standard Model introduce additional loop diagrams with new heavy particles and new CP-violating phases that would contribute to these decays, potentially making {Alpha}{sub CP} (B{sup {+-}} {yields} {phi}K{sup {+-}}) and {Beta

Elliptic flow of ϕ mesons at intermediate pT: Influence of mass versus quark number

NASA Astrophysics Data System (ADS)

Choudhury, Subikash; Sarkar, Debojit; Chattopadhyay, Subhasis

2017-02-01

We have studied elliptic flow (v2) of ϕ mesons in the framework of a multiphase transport (AMPT) model at CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC) energy. In the realms of AMPT model we observe that ϕ mesons at intermediate transverse momentum (pT) deviate from the previously observed [at the BNL Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC)] particle type grouping of v2 according to the number of quark content, i.e, baryons and mesons. Recent results from the ALICE Collaboration have shown that ϕ meson and proton v2 has a similar trend, possibly indicating that particle type grouping might be due to the mass of the particles and not the quark content. A stronger radial boost at LHC compared to RHIC seems to offer a consistent explanation to such observation. However, recalling that ϕ mesons decouple from the hadronic medium before additional radial flow is built up in the hadronic phase, a similar pattern in ϕ meson and proton v2 may not be due to radial flow alone. Our study reveals that models incorporating ϕ -meson production from K K ¯ fusion in the hadronic rescattering phase also predict a comparable magnitude of ϕ meson and proton v2 particularly in the intermediate region of pT. Whereas, v2 of ϕ mesons created in the partonic phase is in agreement with quark-coalescence motivated baryon-meson grouping of hadron v2. This observation seems to provide a plausible alternative interpretation for the apparent mass-like behavior of ϕ -meson v2. We have also observed a violation of hydrodynamical mass ordering between proton and ϕ meson v2 further supporting that ϕ mesons are negligibly affected by the collective radial flow in the hadronic phase due to the small in-medium hadronic interaction cross sections.

Rare B Meson Decays With Omega Mesons

DOE Office of Scientific and Technical Information (OSTI.GOV)

Zhang, Lei; /Colorado U.

2006-04-24

Rare charmless hadronic B decays are particularly interesting because of their importance in understanding the CP violation, which is essential to explain the matter-antimatter asymmetry in our universe, and of their roles in testing the ''effective'' theory of B physics. The study has been done with the BABAR experiment, which is mainly designed for the study of CP violation in the decays of neutral B mesons, and secondarily for rare processes that become accessible with the high luminosity of the PEP-II B Factory. In a sample of 89 million produced B{bar B} pairs on the BABAR experiment, we observed themore » decays B{sup 0} {yields} {omega}K{sup 0} and B{sup +} {yields} {omega}{rho}{sup +} for the first time, made more precise measurements for B{sup +} {yields} {omega}h{sup +} and reported tighter upper limits for B {yields} {omega}K* and B{sup 0} {yields} {omega}{rho}{sup 0}.« less

Photoproduction of the f 1 ( 1285 ) meson

The f(1)(1285) meson withmass 1281.0 +/- 0.8MeV/c(2) and width 18.4 +/- 1.4MeV (full width at half maximum) was measured for the first time in photoproduction from a proton target using CLAS at Jefferson Lab. Differential cross sections were obtained via the eta pi(+)pi(-), K+(K) over bar (0) pi(-), and (K-K0)pi(+) decay channels from threshold up to a center-of-mass energy of 2.8 GeV. The mass, width, and an amplitude analysis of the eta pi(+)pi(-) final-state Dalitz distribution are consistent with the axial-vector J(P) = 1(+) f(1)(1285) identity, rather than the pseudoscalar 0(-) eta(1295). The production mechanism is more consistent with s-channelmore » decay of a high-mass N* state and not with t-channel meson exchange. Decays to eta pi pi go dominantly via the intermediate a(0)(+/-) (980)pi(-/+) states, with the branching ratio Gamma [a(0)pi (no (K) over barK)]/Gamma[eta pi pi (all)] = 0.74 +/- 0.09. The branching ratios Gamma (K (K) over bar pi)/Gamma(eta pi pi) = 0.216 +/- 0.033 and Gamma (gamma rho(0))/Gamma(eta pi pi) = 0.047 +/- 0.018 were also obtained.

Study of the K{sup +}{pi}{sup +}{pi}{sup -} final state in B{sup +}{yields}J/{psi}K{sup +}{pi}{sup +}{pi}{sup -} and B{sup +}{yields}{psi}'K{sup +}{pi}{sup +}{pi}{sup -}

Guler, H.; McGill University, Montreal; Universite de Montreal, Montreal

Using 535x10{sup 6} B-meson pairs collected by the Belle detector at the KEKB e{sup +}e{sup -} collider, we measure branching fractions of (7.16{+-}0.10(stat){+-}0.60(syst)x10{sup -4} for B{sup +}{yields}J/{psi}K{sup +}{pi}{sup +}{pi}{sup -} and (4.31{+-}0.20(stat){+-}0.50(syst))x10{sup -4} for B{sup +}{yields}{psi}'K{sup +}{pi}{sup +}{pi}{sup -}. We perform amplitude analyses to determine the resonant structure of the K{sup +}{pi}{sup +}{pi}{sup -} final state in B{sup +}{yields}J/{psi}K{sup +}{pi}{sup +}{pi}{sup -} and B{sup +}{yields}{psi}'K{sup +}{pi}{sup +}{pi}{sup -} and find that the K{sub 1}(1270) is a prominent component of both decay modes. There is significant interference among the different intermediate states, which leads, in particular, to a striking distortion ofmore » the {rho} line shape due to the {omega}. Based on the results of the fit to the B{sup +}{yields}J/{psi}K{sup +}{pi}{sup +}{pi}{sup -} data, the relative decay fractions of the K{sub 1}(1270) to K{rho}, K{omega}, and K*(892){pi} are consistent with previous measurements, but the decay fraction to K{sub 0}*(1430) is significantly smaller. Finally, by floating the mass and width of the K{sub 1}(1270) in an additional fit of the B{sup +}{yields}J/{psi}K{sup +}{pi}{sup +}{pi}{sup -} data, we measure a mass of (1248.1{+-}3.3(stat){+-}1.4(syst)) MeV/c{sup 2} and a width of (119.5{+-}5.2(stat){+-}6.7(syst)) MeV/c{sup 2} for the K{sub 1}(1270).« less

The f1(1285 ) meson with mass 1281.0 ±0.8 MeV/c2 and width 18.4 ±1.4 MeV (full width at half maximum) was measured for the first time in photoproduction from a proton target using CLAS at Jefferson Lab. Differential cross sections were obtained via the η π+π-,K+K¯0π- , and K-K0π+ decay channels from threshold up to a center-of-mass energy of 2.8 GeV. The mass, width, and an amplitude analysis of the η π+π- final-state Dalitz distribution are consistent with the axial-vector JP=1+ f1(1285 ) identity, rather than the pseudoscalar 0- η (1295 ) . The production mechanism is more consistent with s -channel decay of a high-mass N* state and not with t -channel meson exchange. Decays to η π π go dominantly via the intermediate a0±(980 ) π∓ states, with the branching ratio Γ [a0π (noK ¯K )] /Γ [η π π (all)] =0.74 ±0.09 . The branching ratios Γ (K K ¯π ) /Γ (η π π ) =0.216 ±0.033 and Γ (γ ρ0) /Γ (η π π ) =0.047 ±0.018 were also obtained. The first is in agreement with previous data for the f1(1285 ) , while the latter is lower than the world average.

Branching ratio measurements of B meson decays to J/psi meson eta meson kaon and charged B meson decays to neutral D meson charged kaon with neutral D meson decays to positive pion negative pion neutral pion

NASA Astrophysics Data System (ADS)

Zeng, Qinglin

Results are presented for the decays of B → J/psietaK and B+/- → DK+/-, respectively, with experimental data collected with BABAR detector at PEP-II, located at Stanford Linear Accelerator Center (SLAC). With 90 x 106 BB¯ events at the Upsilon(4S) resonance, we obtained branching fractions of B (B+/- → J/psietaK +/-) = [10.8 +/- 2.3(stat) +/- 2.4(syst)] x 10-5 and B (B0 → J/psieta K0S ) = [8.4 +/- 2.6(stat) +/- 2.7( syst)] x 10-5; and we set an upper limit of B [B+/- → X(3872) K+/- → J/psietaK +/-] < 7.7 x 10-6 at 90% confidence level. The branching fraction of decay chain B (B+/- → DK +/- → pi+pi-pi 0K+/-) = [5.5 +/- 1.0( stat) +/- 0.7(syst)] x 10-6 with 229 x 106 BB¯ events at Upsilon(4S) resonance, here D represents the neutral D meson. The decay rate asymmetry is A = 0.02 +/- 0.16(stat) +/- 0.03(syst) for this full decay chain. This decay can be used to extract the unitarity angle gamma, a weak CP violation phase, through the interference of decay production of D0 and D¯ 0 to pi+pi-pi 0.

We present measurements of branching fractions and CP-violating asymmetries in decays of B mesons to two-body final states containing a K0. The results are based on a data sample of approximately 88 x 10(6) Upsilon(4S)-->BB decays collected with the BABAR detector at the PEP-II asymmetric-energy B Factory at SLAC. We measure B(B+-->K(0)pi(+))=(22.3+/-1.7+/-1.1)x10(-6), B(B0-->K(0)pi(0)=(11.4+/-1.7+/-0.8)x10(-6), B(B+-->K(0)K+)<2.5 x 10(-6), and B(B0-->K(0)K(0)<1.8 x 10(-6), where the first uncertainty is statistical and the second is systematic, and the upper limits are at the 90% confidence level. In addition, the following CP-violating asymmetries have been measured: A(CP)(B+-->K(0)pi(+))=-0.05+/-0.08+/-0.01 and A(CP)(B0-->K(0)pi(0)=0.03+/-0.36+/-0.11.

Penguin Decays of B Mesons

NASA Astrophysics Data System (ADS)

Lingel, Karen; Skwarnicki, Tomasz; Smith, James G.

Penguin, or loop, decays of B mesons induce effective flavor-changing neutral currents, which are forbidden at tree level in the standard model. These decays give special insight into the CKM matrix and are sensitive to non-standard-model effects. In this review, we give a historical and theoretical introduction to penguins and a description of the various types of penguin processes: electromagnetic, electroweak, and gluonic. We review the experimental searches for penguin decays, including the measurements of the electromagnetic penguins b -> sgamma and B -> K*gamma and gluonic penguins B -> Kpi, B+ -> omegaK+ and B -> eta'K, and their implications for the standard model and new physics. We conclude by exploring the future prospects for penguin physics.

In-Medium K^+ Electromagnetic Form Factor with a Symmetric Vertex in a Light Front Approach

NASA Astrophysics Data System (ADS)

Yabusaki, George H. S.; de Melo, J. P. B. C.; de Paula, Wayne; Tsushima, K.; Frederico, T.

2018-05-01

Using the light-front K^ +-Meson wave function based on a Bethe-Salpeter amplitude model for the Quark-Antiquark bound state, we study the Electromagnetic Form Factor (EMFF) of the K^ +-Meson in nuclear medium within the framework of light-front field theory. The K^ +-Meson model we adopt is well constrained by previous and recent studies to explain its properties in vacuum. The in-medium K^ +-Meson EMFF is evaluated for the plus-component of the electromagnetic current, J^+, in the Breit frame. In order to consistently incorporate the constituent up and antistrange Quarks of the K^ +-Meson immersed in symmetric nuclear matter, we use the Quark-Meson coupling model, which has been widely applied to various hadronic and nuclear phenomena in a nuclear medium with success. We predict the in-medium modification of the K^ +-Meson EMFF in symmetric nuclear matter. It is found that, after a fine tuning of the regulator mass, i.e. m_R = 0.600 GeV, the model is suitable to fit the available experimental data in vacuum within the theoretical uncertainties, and based on this we predict the in-medium modification of the K^ +-Meson EMFF.

Heavy-Quark Symmetry Implies Stable Heavy Tetraquark Mesons Q_{i}Q_{j}q[over ¯]_{k}q[over ¯]_{l}.

PubMed

Eichten, Estia J; Quigg, Chris

2017-11-17

For very heavy quarks Q, relations derived from heavy-quark symmetry predict the existence of novel narrow doubly heavy tetraquark states of the form Q_{i}Q_{j}q[over ¯]_{k}q[over ¯]_{l} (subscripts label flavors), where q designates a light quark. By evaluating finite-mass corrections, we predict that double-beauty states composed of bbu[over ¯]d[over ¯], bbu[over ¯]s[over ¯], and bbd[over ¯]s[over ¯] will be stable against strong decays, whereas the double-charm states ccq[over ¯]_{k}q[over ¯]_{l}, mixed beauty+charm states bcq[over ¯]_{k}q[over ¯]_{l}, and heavier bbq[over ¯]_{k}q[over ¯]_{l} states will dissociate into pairs of heavy-light mesons. Observation of a new double-beauty state through its weak decays would establish the existence of tetraquarks and illuminate the role of heavy color-antitriplet diquarks as hadron constituents.

Parametrizations of three-body hadronic B - and D -decay amplitudes in terms of analytic and unitary meson-meson form factors

NASA Astrophysics Data System (ADS)

Boito, D.; Dedonder, J.-P.; El-Bennich, B.; Escribano, R.; Kamiński, R.; Leśniak, L.; Loiseau, B.

2017-12-01

We introduce parametrizations of hadronic three-body B and D weak decay amplitudes that can be readily implemented in experimental analyses and are a sound alternative to the simplistic and widely used sum of Breit-Wigner type amplitudes, also known as the isobar model. These parametrizations can be particularly useful in the interpretation of C P asymmetries in the Dalitz plots. They are derived from previous calculations based on a quasi-two-body factorization approach in which two-body hadronic final-state interactions are fully taken into account in terms of unitary S - and P -wave π π , π K , and K K ¯ form factors. These form factors can be determined rigorously, fulfilling fundamental properties of quantum field-theory amplitudes such as analyticity and unitarity, and are in agreement with the low-energy behavior predicted by effective theories of QCD. They are derived from sets of coupled-channel equations using T -matrix elements constrained by experimental meson-meson phase shifts and inelasticities, chiral symmetry, and asymptotic QCD. We provide explicit amplitude expressions for the decays B±→π+π-π±, B →K π+π-, B±→K+K-K±, D+→π-π+π+, D+→K-π+π+, and D0→KS0π+π-, for which we have shown in previous studies that this approach is phenomenologically successful; in addition, we provide expressions for the D0→KS0K+K- decay. Other three-body hadronic channels can be parametrized likewise.

The decays of χc 2→K+K-π0, KSK±π∓, and π+π-π0 are studied with the ψ (3686 ) data samples collected with the Beijing Spectrometer (BESIII). For the first time, the branching fractions of χc 2→K*K ¯, χc 2→a2±(1320 )π∓/a20(1320 )π0 , and χc 2→ρ (770 )±π∓ are measured. Here, K*K ¯ denotes both K*±K∓ and its isospin-conjugated process K*0K¯ 0+c .c . , and K* denotes the resonances K*(892 ), K2*(1430 ), and K3*(1780 ). The observations indicate a strong violation of the helicity selection rule in χc 2 decays into vector and pseudoscalar meson pairs. The measured branching fractions of χc 2→K*(892 )K ¯ are more than ten times larger than the upper limit of χc 2→ρ (770 )±π∓, which is so far the first direct observation of a significant U -spin symmetry breaking effect in charmonium decays.

Lepton flavor violating decays of B and K mesons in models with extended gauge group

NASA Astrophysics Data System (ADS)

Fayyazuddin; Aslam, Muhammad Jamil; Lu, Cai-Dian

2018-05-01

Lepton flavor violating (LFV) decays are forbidden in the Standard Model (SM) and to explore them one has to go beyond it. The flavor changing neutral current induced lepton flavor conserving and LFV decays of K and B mesons is discussed in the gauge group G = SU(2)L × U(1)Y1 × SU(2)X. The lepto-quark Xμ±2/3 corresponding to gauge group SU(2)X allows the quark-lepton transitions and hence giving a framework to construct the effective Lagrangian for the LFV decays. The mass of lepto-quark mX provides a scale at which the gauge group G is broken to the SM gauge group. Using the most stringent experimental limit ℬ(KL0 → μ∓e±) < 1.7 × 10‑12, the upper bound on the effective coupling constant GX GF2 < 1.1 × 10‑10 is obtained for certain pairing of lepton and quark generations in the representation (2,2¯) of the group G. Later, the effective Lagrangian for the LFV meson decays for the gauge group G = [SU(2)L × SU(2)R × U(1)Y1‧] × SU(2)X is constructed. Using ℬ(K‑→ π‑νν¯) = (1.7 ± 1.1) × 10‑10, the bound on the ratio of effective couplings is obtained to be GX GF2 < 10‑10. A number of decay modes are discussed which provide a promising area to test this model in the current and future particle physics experiments.

Production of D0 meson in pp and PbPb Collisions at √SNN = 5.02 TeV with CMS

NASA Astrophysics Data System (ADS)

Lee, Yen-Jie

2018-02-01

Heavy flavour mesons are used as powerful tools for the study of the strongly interacting medium in heavy ion collisions as heavy quarks are sensitive to the transport properties of the medium. In these proceedings, D0 nuclear modification factors, comparing the yields in PbPb and pp collisions, and azimuthal anisotropies in PbPb collisions are reported. Prompt D0 mesons and their antiparticles have been measured with the CMS detector via the hadronic decay channels D0 → K-π+ and D0 → K+π- in PbPb and pp collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 5.02 TeV. Nonprompt D0 from b quark decays are subtracted. The D0 results are compared to inclusive charged particles, non-prompt J/ψ mesons from b decays and B+ mesons in order to reveal possible meson mass dependence of the observables.

In-medium properties of mesons

NASA Astrophysics Data System (ADS)

Metag, Volker; Nanova, Mariana; Brinkmann, Kai-Thomas

2017-01-01

In the project B.4, the modification of meson properties (mass, width) in a nuclear medium has been studied in photoproduction of mesons off nuclear targets. This work has been motivated by theoretical expectations of in-medium modifications of hadrons based on the conjecture of a partial restoration of chiral symmetry in a strongly interacting medium. It has been shown that these in-medium changes can be discussed in a compact form in terms of an optical potential describing the meson-nucleus interaction. Experimental approaches to determine the real and imaginary part of the meson-nucleus potential have been developed. The experiments have been performed with the Crystal Barrel/TAPS detector at the electron accelerator ELSA (Bonn) and the Crystal Ball/TAPS detector at MAMI (Mainz). Measuring the excitation function and momentum distribution for photo production of ω and η' mesons, the real parts of the ω and η'-nucleus potential, given by the in-medium mass shift, have been determined. For the η' meson a lowering of the mass at normal nuclear matter density by -(39±7(stat)±15(syst)) MeV is observed, while for the ω meson a slightly smaller mass shift is found, however, with much larger uncertainties, not excluding a zero mass shift. The imaginary part of the potentials has been extracted from the measurement of the transparency ratio which compares the meson production cross section per nucleon within a nucleus to the production cross section off the free proton. For the η' meson the imaginary part of the potential is found to be smaller than the real part. In case of the ω meson the opposite is observed. This makes the η' meson a good candidate for the search for meson-nucleus bound states while no resolved ω mesic states can be expected. The results are compared with theoretical predictions. An outlook on future experiments is given.

Semileptonic decays of B and D mesons in the light-front formalism

NASA Astrophysics Data System (ADS)

Jaus, W.

1990-06-01

The light-front formalism is used to present a relativistic calculation of form factors for semileptonic D and B decays in the constituent quark model. The quark-antiquark wave functions of the mesons can be obtained, in principle, from an analysis of the meson spectrum, but are approximated in this work by harmonic-oscillator wave functions. The predictions of the model are consistent with the experimental data for B decays. The Kobayashi-Maskawa (KM) matrix element ||Vcs|| is determined by a comparison of the experimental and theoretical rates for D0-->K-e+ν, and is consistent with a unitary KM matrix for three families. The predictions for D-->K* transitions are in conflict with the data.

The production of the neutral strange particles K 0, Λ andbar Λ in vp andbar vp charged current interactions is studied in an experiment with the Big European Bubble Chamber. Mean multiplicities are measured as a function of the event variables E v, W 2 and Q 2 and of the hadron variables x F, z and p {T/2}. K *± (892) and ∑ *± (1385) signals are observed, whereas there is no evidence for ∑ *- (1385) production in vp scattering. Forward, backward and total mean multiplicities are found to compare well with the predictions of an empirical model for deep-inelastic reactions in the case of the strange mesons K 0 and K *± (892) but less so for the strange baryons Λ,bar Λ and ∑ *± (1385). The strange baryon multiplicities are used to obtain the decuplet to octet baryon production ratio and to assess the probabilities of a uu or ud system to break up.

Meson Form Factors and Deep Exclusive Meson Production Experiments

DOE Office of Scientific and Technical Information (OSTI.GOV)

Horn, Tanja

Pion and kaon electroproduction data play a unique role in Nature and our understanding of them is essential for explaining hadron structure. Precision longitudinaltransverse separated pion and kaon cross sections are of particular interest. They allow for the extraction of meson form factors and validation of understanding of hard exclusive and semi-inclusive reactions (π+, K+, π0, γ) towards 3D hadron imaging and potential future flavor decomposition. We review recent data and present prospects for deep exclusive pion and kaon electroproduction at the 12 GeV Jefferson Lab including the prospects to use projected charged- and neutral pion data to further determinemore » the spin, charge-parity and flavor of GPDs, including the helicity-flip GPDs.« less

Measurements of CP Asymmetries in the Decay B --> {phi}K

DOE Office of Scientific and Technical Information (OSTI.GOV)

Aubert, B

The authors present a preliminary measurement of the time-dependent CP asymmetry for the neutral B-meson decay B{sup 0} --> {phi}K{sup 0}. They use a sample of approximately 227 million B-meson pairs recorded at the {Upsilon}(4S) resonance with the BABAR detector at the PEP-II B-meson Factory at SLAC. They reconstruct the CP eigenstates {phi}K{sub s}{sup 0} and {phi}K{sub L}{sup 0} where {phi} --> K{sup +}K{sup -}, K{sub s}{sup 0} --> {pi}{sup +}{pi}{sup -}, and K{sub L}{sup 0} is observed via its hadronic interactions. The other B meson in the event is tagged as either a B{sup 0} or {bar B}{sup 0}more » from its decay products. The values of the CP-violation parameters deived from the combined {phi}K{sup 0} dataset are S{sub {phi}K} = +0.50 {+-} 0.25(stat.){sub -0.04}{sup +0.07}(syst.) and C{sub {phi}K} = 0.00 {+-} 0.23(stat.) {+-}0.05(syst.). In addition, the authors measure the CP-violating charge asymmetry A{sub CP}(B{sup +} --> {phi}K{sup +}) = 0.054 {+-} 0.056(stat.) {+-} 0.012(syst.). All results are preliminary.« less

An Exploratory Study of γp -> ϕ (K+K-) ω (π+π-π0) p in the GlueX Experiment at Jefferson Lab

NASA Astrophysics Data System (ADS)

Banks, Christopher; Salgado, Carlos; GlueX Collaboration

Mesons are subatomic particles that have intermediate masses between electrons and protons and manifest as quark-antiquark pairs kept together by the strong force (gluons). Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) states the possibility for mesons manifested only as gluons (glueballs) or as quarks and gluons (hybrids). Some of those hybrid mesons could have quantum numbers that are inaccessible to conventional mesons (exotics). The GlueX detector at Jefferson Lab was built to search for exotic mesons at intermediate energies (2-3 GeV masses). The reaction γp -> ϕ (K+K-) ω (π+π-π0) p is of interest for this study. By simulating the detector and the reconstruction acceptance and efficiency, and by using expected signals and backgrounds through a detailed Monte Carlo, we have studied the possibilities of observing this reaction with the present GlueX configuration.

Potential description of charmonium and charmed-strange mesons from lattice QCD

NASA Astrophysics Data System (ADS)

Kawanai, Taichi; Sasaki, Shoichi

2015-11-01

We present spin-independent and spin-spin interquark potentials for the charmonium and charmed-strange mesons, which are calculated in 2 +1 flavor lattice QCD simulations using the PACS-CS gauge configurations generated at the lightest pion mass (Mπ≈156 (7 ) MeV ) with a lattice cutoff of a-1≈2.2 GeV and a spatial volume of (3 fm )3 . For the charm quark, we use a relativistic heavy quark (RHQ) action with fine tuned RHQ parameters, which closely reproduce both the experimental spin-averaged mass and hyperfine splitting of the 1 S charmonium. The interquark potential and the quark kinetic mass, both of which are key ingredients within the potential description of heavy-heavy and heavy-light mesons, are determined from the equal-time Bethe-Salpeter (BS) amplitude. The charmonium potentials are obtained from the BS wave function of 1 S charmonia (ηc and J /ψ mesons), while the charmed-strange potential are calculated from the Ds and Ds* heavy-light mesons. We then use resulting potentials and quark masses as purely theoretical inputs so as to solve the nonrelativistic Schrödinger equation for calculating accessible energy levels of charmonium and charmed-strange mesons without unknown parameters. The resultant spectra below the D D ¯ and D K thresholds excellently agree with well-established experimental data.

A search is presented for hidden-sector bosons, χ, produced in the decay B(0)→K*(892)(0)χ, with K*(892)(0)→K(+)π(-) and χ→μ(+)μ(-). The search is performed using pp-collision data corresponding to 3.0  fb(-1) collected with the LHCb detector. No significant signal is observed in the accessible mass range 214≤m(χ)≤4350  MeV, and upper limits are placed on the branching fraction product B(B(0)→K*(892)(0)χ)×B(χ→μ(+)μ(-)) as a function of the mass and lifetime of the χ boson. These limits are of the order of 10(-9) for χ lifetimes less than 100 ps over most of the m(χ) range, and place the most stringent constraints to date on many theories that predict the existence of additional low-mass bosons.

Predicting positive parity B$$_s$$ mesons from lattice QCD

We determine the spectrum of B s 1P states using lattice QCD. For the B s1(5830) and B s2*(5840) mesons, the results are in good agreement with the experimental values. Two further mesons are expected in the quantum channels J P = 0 + and 1 + near the BK and B*K thresholds. A combination of quark–antiquark and B(*) meson–Kaon interpolating fields are used to determine the mass of two QCD bound states below the B(*)K threshold, with the assumption that mixing with B s (*)η and isospin-violating decays to B s (*)π are negligible. We predict a J Pmore » = 0 + bound state Bs0 with mass mBs0 = 5.711(13)(19) GeV. In addition, with further assumptions motivated theoretically by the heavy quark limit, a bound state with m Bs1=5.750(17)(19) GeV is predicted in the J P = 1 + channel. The results from our first principles calculation are compared to previous model-based estimates.« less

We present first measurements of the phi-meson elliptic flow (v2(pT)) and high-statistics pT distributions for different centralities from radical sNN=200 GeV Au+Au collisions at RHIC. In minimum bias collisions the v2 of the phi meson is consistent with the trend observed for mesons. The ratio of the yields of the Omega to those of the phi as a function of transverse momentum is consistent with a model based on the recombination of thermal s quarks up to pT approximately 4 GeV/c, but disagrees at higher momenta. The nuclear modification factor (R CP) of phi follows the trend observed in the K S 0 mesons rather than in Lambda baryons, supporting baryon-meson scaling. These data are consistent with phi mesons in central Au+Au collisions being created via coalescence of thermalized s quarks and the formation of a hot and dense matter with partonic collectivity at RHIC.

The transverse momentum (pt) spectrum of prompt D0 mesons and their antiparticles has been measured via the hadronic decay channels D0 to K- pi+ and D0-bar to K+ pi- in pp and PbPb collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 5.02 TeV per nucleon pair with the CMS detector at the LHC. The measurement is performed in the D0 meson pt range of 2-100 GeV and in the rapidity range of abs(y)<1. The pp (PbPb) dataset used for this analysis corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 27.4 inverse picobarns (530 inverse microbarns). The measured D0 meson pt spectrum in pp collisionsmore » is well described by perturbative QCD calculations. The nuclear modification factor, comparing D0 meson yields in PbPb and pp collisions, was extracted for both minimum-bias and the 10% most central PbPb interactions. For central events, the D0 meson yield in the PbPb collisions is suppressed by a factor of 5-6 compared to the pp reference in the pt range of 6-10 GeV. For D0 mesons in the high-pt range of 60-100 GeV, a significantly smaller suppression is observed. The results are also compared to theoretical calculations.« less

The branching fractions of D(s)(+/-) meson decays serve to normalize many measurements of processes involving charm quarks. Using 298 pb(-1) of e(+)e(-) collisions recorded at a center of mass energy of 4.17 GeV, we determine absolute branching fractions for eight D(s)(+/-) decays with a double tag technique. In particular we determine the branching fraction B(D(s)(+)-->K(-)K(+}pi(+))=(5.50+/-0.23+/-0.16)%, where the uncertainties are statistical and systematic, respectively. We also provide partial branching fractions for kinematic subsets of the K(-)K(+)pi(+) decay mode.

K*-charmonium dissociation cross sections and charmonium dissociation rates in hadronic matter

NASA Astrophysics Data System (ADS)

Liu, Feng-Rong; Ji, Shi-Tao; Xu, Xiao-Ming

2016-08-01

K*-charmonium dissociation reactions in hadronic matter are studied in the Born approximation, in the quark-interchange mechanism, and with a temperature-dependent quark potential. We obtain the temperature dependence of the unpolarized cross sections for the reactions K^* J/ψ to bar DD_s^ + ,bar D^* D_s^ + ,bar DD_s^{* + } , and bar D^* D_s^{* + } ; K^* χ _c to bar DD_s^ + ,bar D^* D_s^ + ,bar DD_s^{* + } , and bar D^* D_s^{* + } . We use the cross sections for charmonium dissociation in collisions with pions, ρ mesons, kaons, vector kaons, and η mesons to calculate the dissociation rates of charmonium with five types of mesons. Because of the temperature dependence of the meson masses, dissociation cross sections, and meson distribution functions, the charmonium dissociation rates generally increase with increasing temperature and decrease with increasing charmonium momentum from 2.2 GeV/c. We find that the first derivative of the dissociation rate with respect to the charmonium momentum is zero when the charmonium is at rest. While the η + ψ' and the η + χ c dissociation reactions can be neglected, the J/ ψ, ψ', and χ c dissociations are caused by collisions with pions, ρ mesons, kaons, vector kaons, and η mesons.

Discrete symmetries with neutral mesons

Symmetries, and Symmetry Breakings, in the Laws of Physics play a crucial role in Fundamental Science. Parity and Charge Conjugation Violations prompted the consideration of Chiral Fields in the construction of the Standard Model, whereas CP-Violation needed at least three families of Quarks leading to Flavour Physics. In this Lecture I discuss the Conceptual Basis and the present experimental results for a Direct Evidence of Separate Reversal-in-Time T, CP and CPT Genuine Asymmetries in Decaying Particles like Neutral Meson Transitions, using Quantum Entanglement and the Decay as a Filtering Measurement. The eight transitions associated to the Flavour-CP eigenstate decay products of entangled neutral mesons have demonstrated with impressive significance a separate evidence of TRV and CPV in Bd-physics, whereas a CPTV asymmetry shows a 2σ effect interpreted as an upper limit. Novel CPTV observables are discussed for K physics at KLOE-2, including the difference between the semileptonic asymmetries from KL and KS, the ratios of double decay rate Intensities to Flavour-CP eigenstate decay products and the ω-effect. Their observation would lead to a change of paradigm beyond Quantum Field Theory, however there is nothing in Quantum Mechanics forbidding CPTV.

2017-04-01

We present the current status of the measurement of jets that contain a D meson (D-tagged jets) with the ALICE detector. D0-meson candidates, identified via their hadronic decay into a Kπ pair, were combined with the other charged tracks reconstructed with the central tracking system, using the anti-kT jet-finding algorithm. The yield of D-tagged jets was extracted through an invariant mass analysis of the D-meson candidates. A Monte Carlo simulation was used to determine the detector performance and validate the signal extraction techniques.

For central events, the D0 meson yield in the PbPb collisions is suppressed by a factor of 5-6 compared to the pp reference in the pt range of 6-10 GeV. For D0 mesons in the high-pt range of 60-100 GeV, a significantly smaller suppression is observed. The results are also compared to theoretical calculations.« less

An a 0 resonance in strongly coupled π η , K K ¯ scattering from lattice QCD

DOE PAGES

Dudek, Jozef J.; Edwards, Robert G.; Wilson, David J.

2016-05-11

Here, we present the first calculation of coupled-channel meson-meson scattering in the isospinmore » $=1$, $G$-parity negative sector, with channels $$\\pi \\eta$$, $$K\\overline{K}$$ and $$\\pi \\eta'$$, in a first-principles approach to QCD. From the discrete spectrum of eigenstates in three volumes extracted from lattice QCD correlation functions we determine the energy dependence of the $S$-matrix, and find that the $S$-wave features a prominent cusp-like structure in $$\\pi \\eta \\to \\pi \\eta$$ close to $$K\\overline{K}$$ threshold coupled with a rapid turn on of amplitudes leading to the $$K\\overline{K}$$ final-state. This behavior is traced to an $$a_0(980)$$-like resonance, strongly coupled to both $$\\pi \\eta$$ and $$K\\overline{K}$$, which is identified with a pole in the complex energy plane, appearing on only a single unphysical Riemann sheet. Consideration of $D$-wave scattering suggests a narrow tensor resonance at higher energy.« less

The radiative decay {{\\rm{D}}}^{{\\rm{0}}}\\to {\\bar{{\\rm{K}}}}^{{\\rm{* 0}}}\\gamma with vector meson dominance

Dias, J. M.; Debastiani, V. R.; Xie, Ju-Jun; Oset, E.

2018-04-01

Motivated by the experimental measurements of D0 radiative decay modes, we have proposed a model to study the {{{D}}}{{0}}\\to {\\bar{{{K}}}}{{* 0}}γ decay, by establishing a link with {{{D}}}{{0}}\\to {\\bar{{{K}}}}{{* 0}}{{V}} (V=ρ0, ω) decays through the vector meson dominance hypothesis. In order to do this properly, we have used the Lagrangians from the local hidden gauge symmetry approach to account for Vγ conversion. As a result, we have found the branching ratio {\\mathcal B} [{{{D}}}{{0}}\\to { \\bar{{{K}}}}{{* 0}}γ ]{{=}}({{1}}.{{55-3}}.{{44}})× {{{10}}}{{-4}}, which is in fair agreement with the experimental values reported by the Belle and BaBar collaborations.

The mass shift of the vector mesons in nuclei is known to be a powerful tool for investigating the mechanism of generating hadron mass from the QCD vacuum. The mechanism is known to be the spontaneous breaking of chiral symmetry. In 2007, KEK-PS E325 experiment reported about 3.4 % mass reduction of the ϕ meson in medium-heavy nuclei (Cu). This result is possibly one of the indications of the partial restoration of chiral symmetry in nuclei, however, unfortunately it is hard to make strong conclusions from the data. One of the ways to conclude the strength of the ϕ meson mass shift in nuclei will be by trying to produce only slowly moving ϕ mesons where the maximum nuclear matter effect can be probed. The observed mass reduction of the ϕ meson in the nucleus can be translated as the existence of an attractive force between ϕ meson and nucleus. Thus, one of the extreme conditions that can be achieved in the laboratory is indeed the formation of a ϕ-nucleus bound state, where the ϕ meson is "trapped" in the nucleus. The purpose of the experiment is to search for a ϕ-nucleus bound state and measure the binding energy of the system. We will demonstrate that a completely background-free missing-mass spectrum can be obtained efficiently by (bar{p}, φ) spectroscopy together with K + Λ tagging, using the primary reaction channel bar{p} p rightarrow φ φ. This paper gives an overview of the physics motivation and the detector concept, and explains the direction of the initial research and development effort.

Lepton flavor violating B meson decays via a scalar leptoquark

NASA Astrophysics Data System (ADS)

Sahoo, Suchismita; Mohanta, Rukmani

2016-06-01

We study the effect of scalar leptoquarks in the lepton flavor violating B meson decays induced by the flavor-changing transitions b →q li+lj- with q =s , d . In the standard model, these transitions are extremely rare as they are either two-loop suppressed or proceed via box diagrams with tiny neutrino masses in the loop. However, in the leptoquark model, they can occur at tree level and are expected to have significantly large branching ratios. The leptoquark parameter space is constrained using the experimental limits on the branching ratios of Bq→l+l- processes. Using such constrained parameter space, we predict the branching ratios of LFV semileptonic B meson decays, such as B+→K+(π+)li+lj-, B+→(K*+,ρ+)li+lj-, and Bs→ϕ li+lj-, which are found to be within the experimental reach of LHCb and the upcoming Belle II experiments. We also investigate the rare leptonic KL ,S→μ+μ-(e+e-) and KL→μ∓e± decays in the leptoquark model.

The production cross sections for prompt charmed mesons D^0, D^+, D^{*+} and D_s^+ were measured at mid-rapidity in proton-proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy √{s}=7 {TeV} with the ALICE detector at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). D mesons were reconstructed from their decays D^0 → K^-π ^+, D^+→ K^-π ^+π ^+, D^{*+} → D^0 π ^+, D_s^{+→ φ π ^+→ K^-K^+π ^+}, and their charge conjugates.With respect to previous measurements in the same rapidity region, the coverage in transverse momentum (p_T) is extended and the uncertainties are reduced by a factor of about two. The accuracy on the estimated total c{\\overline{c}} production cross section is likewise improved. The measured p_T-differential cross sections are compared with the results of three perturbative QCD calculations.

Explaining the R_K and R_{K^*} anomalies

NASA Astrophysics Data System (ADS)

Ghosh, Diptimoy

2017-10-01

Recent LHCb results on R_{K^*}, the ratio of the branching fractions of B → K^* μ ^+ μ ^- to that of B → K^* e^+ e^-, for the dilepton invariant mass bins q^2 ≡ m_{ℓ ℓ }^2 = [0.045-1.1] GeV^2 and [1.1-6] GeV^2 show approximately 2.5 σ deviations from the corresponding Standard Model prediction in each of the bins. This, when combined with the measurement of R_K (q^2=[1-6] GeV^2), a similar ratio for the decay to a pseudo-scalar meson, highly suggests lepton non-universal new physics in semi-leptonic B meson decays. In this work, we perform a model independent analysis of these potential new physics signals and identify the operators that do the best job in satisfying all these measurements. We show that heavy new physics, giving rise to q^2 independent local 4-Fermi operators of scalar, pseudo-scalar, vector or axial-vector type, is unable to explain all the three measurements simultaneously, in particular R_{K^*} in the bin [0.045-1.1], within their experimental 1σ regions. We point out the possibility to explain R_{K^*} in the low bin by an additional light (≲ 20 {MeV}) vector boson with appropriate coupling strengths to (\\bar{b} s) and (\\bar{e} e).

Two-pseudoscalar-meson decay of {chi}{sub cJ} with twist-3 corrections

DOE Office of Scientific and Technical Information (OSTI.GOV)

Zhou Mingzhen; Zhou Haiqing; Department of Physics, Southeast University, Nanjing 211189

2009-11-01

The decays of {chi}{sub cJ}{yields}{pi}{sup +}{pi}{sup -}, K{sup +}K{sup -} (J=0,2) are discussed within the standard and modified hard-scattering approach when including the contributions from twist-3 distribution amplitudes and wave functions of the light pseudoscalar meson. A model for twist-2 and twist-3 distribution amplitudes and wave functions of the pion and kaon with BHL prescription are proposed as the solution to the end-point singularities. The results show that the contributions from twist-3 parts are actually not power suppressed comparing with the leading-twist contribution. After including the effects from the transverse momentum of light meson valence-quark state and Sudakov factors, themore » decay widths of the {chi}{sub cJ} into pions or kaons are comparable with the their experimental data.« less

Hadronic molecular states from the Kbar{K}^{ast} interaction

NASA Astrophysics Data System (ADS)

Lü, Pei-Liang; He, Jun

2016-12-01

In this work, the Kbar{K}^{ast} interaction is studied in a quasipotential Bethe-Salpeter equation approach combined with the one-boson-exchange model. With the help of the hidden-gauge Lagrangian, the exchanges of pseudoscalar mesons (π and η) and vector mesons (ρ, ω and φ) are considered to describe the Kbar{K}^{ast} interaction. Besides the direct vector-meson exchange which can be related to the Weinberg-Tomozawa term, pseudoscalar-meson exchanges also play important roles in the mechanism of the Kbar{K}^{ast} interaction. The poles of scattering amplitude are searched to find the molecular states produced from the Kbar{K}^{ast} interaction. In the case of quantum number IG(J^{PC}) = 0+(1^{++}), a pole is found with a reasonable cutoff, which can be related to the f1(1285) in experiment. Another bound state with 0-(1^{+-}) is also produced from the Kbar{K}^{ast} interaction, which can be related to the h1(1380). In the isovector sector, the interaction is much weaker and a bound state with 1+(1+) relevant to the b1(1235) is produced but at a larger cutoff. Our results suggest that in the hadronic molecular state picture the f1(1285) and b1(1235) are the strange partners of the X(3872) and Zc(3900), respectively.

Symmetry-preserving contact interaction model for heavy-light mesons

DOE Office of Scientific and Technical Information (OSTI.GOV)

Serna, F. E.; Brito, M. A.; Krein, G.

2016-01-22

We use a symmetry-preserving regularization method of ultraviolet divergences in a vector-vector contact interaction model for low-energy QCD. The contact interaction is a representation of nonperturbative kernels used Dyson-Schwinger and Bethe-Salpeter equations. The regularization method is based on a subtraction scheme that avoids standard steps in the evaluation of divergent integrals that invariably lead to symmetry violation. Aiming at the study of heavy-light mesons, we have implemented the method to the pseudoscalar π and K mesons. We have solved the Dyson-Schwinger equation for the u, d and s quark propagators, and obtained the bound-state Bethe-Salpeter amplitudes in a way thatmore » the Ward-Green-Takahashi identities reflecting global symmetries of the model are satisfied for arbitrary routing of the momenta running in loop integrals.« less

Meson properties in magnetized quark matter

NASA Astrophysics Data System (ADS)

Wang, Ziyue; Zhuang, Pengfei

2018-02-01

We study neutral and charged meson properties in the magnetic field. Taking the bosonization method in a two-flavor Nambu-Jona-Lasinio model, we derive effective meson Lagrangian density with minimal coupling to the magnetic field, by employing derivative expansion for both the meson fields and Schwinger phases. We extract from the effective Lagrangian density the meson curvature, pole and screening masses. As the only Goldstone mode, the neutral pion controls the thermodynamics of the system and propagates the long range quark interaction. The magnetic field breaks down the space symmetry, and the quark interaction region changes from a sphere in vacuum to a ellipsoid in magnetic field.

Precise discussion of time-reversal asymmetries in B-meson decays

DOE PAGES

Morozumi, Takuya; Okane, Hideaki; Umeeda, Hiroyuki

2015-02-26

BaBar collaboration announced that they observed time reversal (T) asymmetry through B meson system. In the experiment, time dependencies of two distinctive processes, B_ →B¯ 0 and B¯ 0 → B_ (– expresses CP value) are compared with each other. In our study, we examine event number difference of these two processes. In contrast to the BaBar asymmetry, the asymmetry of events number includes the overall normalization difference for rates. Time dependence of the asymmetry is more general and it includes terms absent in one used by BaBar collaboration. Both of the BaBar asymmetry and ours are naively thought tomore » be T-odd since two processes compared are related with flipping time direction. We investigate the time reversal transformation property of our asymmetry. Using our notation, one can see that the asymmetry is not precisely a T-odd quantity, taking into account indirect CP and CPT violation of K meson systems. The effect of ϵK is extracted and gives rise to O(10 –3) contribution. The introduced parameters are invariant under rephasing of quarks so that the coefficients of our asymmetry are expressed as phase convention independent quantities. Some combinations of the asymmetry enable us to extract parameters for wrong sign decays of B d meson, CPT violation, etc. As a result, we also study the reason why the T-even terms are allowed to contribute to the asymmetry, and find that several conditions are needed for the asymmetry to be a T-odd quantity.« less

Lattice QCD investigation of the structure of the a0(980 ) meson

NASA Astrophysics Data System (ADS)

Alexandrou, Constantia; Berlin, Joshua; Dalla Brida, Mattia; Finkenrath, Jacob; Leontiou, Theodoros; Wagner, Marc

2018-02-01

We investigate the quark content of the low-lying states in the I (JP)=1 (0+) sector, which are the quantum numbers of the a0(980 ) meson, using lattice QCD. To this end, we consider correlation functions of six different two- and four-quark interpolating fields. We evaluate all diagrams, including diagrams, where quarks propagate within a time slice, e.g. with closed quark loops. We demonstrate that diagrams containing such closed quark loops have a drastic effect on the final results and, thus, may not be neglected. Our analysis, which is carried out at unphysically heavy u and d quark mass corresponding to mπ=296 (3 ) MeV and in a single spatial volume of extent 2.9 fm, shows that in addition to the expected spectrum of two-meson scattering states there is an additional energy level around the two-particle thresholds of K +K ¯ and η +π . This additional state, which is a candidate for the a0(980 ) meson, couples to a quark-antiquark as well as to a diquark-antidiquark interpolating field, indicating that it is a superposition of an ordinary q ¯q and a tetraquark structure. The analysis is performed using AMIAS, a novel statistical method based on the sampling of all possible spectral decompositions of the considered correlation functions, as well as solving standard generalized eigenvalue problems.

These results shed light on the mechanism of charmonium decays into pseudoscalar mesons.

KLOE results on light meson spectroscopy and prospects for KLOE-2

Gauzzi, Paolo; KLOE-2 Collaboration

2012-03-01

The results obtained by the KLOE Collaboration on light meson spectroscopy are presented. The radiative decay phi → ηγ have been used to study several η decay channels. The Dalitz plot distributions of the η → 3π decays, both in charged and neutral final states have been measured. The box anomaly contribution in η → π+ π-γ has been investigated in, and the rare decays η → π0γγ, η → π+π-e+e- and η → e+e-e+e- have been measured. Also the strategy for the measurement of the transition form factor of phi → ηe+e- is described. The radiateve process phi → η'γ has been used to study the η' → ηππ decay channels, obtaining a measurement of the pseudoscalar mixing angle, and finding an evidence for a gluonium content of η'. The decays phi → PPγ where P means a pseudoscalar meson, have been exploited to investigate the light scalar mesons, f0(980), a0(980), and σ(600). The couplings of the scalar mesons to Kbar K, ππ or ππ0, and to the phi resonance have been measured. The prospects for the new KLOE-2 data-taking just started at the upgraded DAΦNE with an upgraded detector are described.

Large $N$ approach to kaon decays and mixing 28 years later: $$\\Delta I = 1/2$$ rule, $$\\hat B_K$$ and $$\\Delta M_K$$

DOE PAGES

Buras, Andrzej J.; Gérard, Jean -Marc; Bardeen, William A.

2014-05-20

We review and update our results for K → π π decays and K⁰- K¯⁰ mixing obtained by us in the 1980s within an approach based on the dual representation of QCD as a theory of weakly interacting mesons for large N colours. In our analytic approach the dynamics behind the enhancement of ReA 0 and suppression of ReA 2, the so-called ΔI = 1/2 rule for K → π π decays, has a simple structure: the usual octet enhancement through quark-gluon renormalization group evolution down to the scales O(1 GeV) is continued as a meson evolution down to zeromore » momentum scales at which the factorization of hadronic matrix elements is at work. The inclusion of lowest-lying vector meson contributions in addition to the pseudoscalar ones and of Wilson coefficients in a momentum scheme improves significantly the matching between quark-gluon and meson evolutions. In particular, the anomalous dimension matrix governing the meson evolution exhibits the structure of the known anomalous dimension matrix in the quark-gluon evolution. The recent results on ReA 2 and ReA 0 from the RBC-UKQC collaboration give support for our approach. In particular, the signs of the two main contractions found numerically by these authors follow uniquely from our analytic approach. At NLO in 1/N we obtain R = ReA 0/ReA 2= 16.0±1.5 which amounts to an order of magnitude enhancement over the strict large N limit value √2. QCD penguins contribute at 15% level to this result. We also find B^ K = 0.73± 0.02, with the smallness of 1/N corrections to the large N value B^ K = 3/4 resulting within our approach from an approximate cancellation between pseudoscalar and vector meson one-loop contributions. We summarize the status of ΔM K in this approach.« less

Search for popcorn mesons in events with two charmed baryons

NASA Astrophysics Data System (ADS)

Hartfiel, Brandon

The physics of this dissertation is divided into two parts. The first part measures the Λc → pi kp continuum momentum spectrum at a center of mass energy of 10.54 GeV/c, which is just below the Υ(4s) resonance. The data sample consists of 15,400 Λc baryons from 9.46 fb-1 of integrated luminosity collected with the BaBar detector at the PEP-II asymmetric B factory at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center. With more than 13 times more data than the best previous measurement, we are able to exclude some of the simpler, one parameter fragmentation functions. In the second part, we add the Λc → K0p mode, and look for events with a Λc+ and a Λ c- in order to look for "popcorn" mesons formed between the baryon and antibaryon. We add on-resonance data, with a kinematic cut to eliminate background from B decays, as well as BaBar run 3 and 4 data to increase the total data size to 219.70 fb-1. We find 619 events after background subtraction. After a subtraction of 1.06+/-.09 charged pions coming from decays of known resonances to Λc + npi, we are left with 2.63+/-.21 additional charged pious in each of these events. This is significantly higher than the .5 popcorn mesons per bayon pair used in the current tuning of Pythia 6.2, the most widely used Monte Carlo generator. The extra mesons we find appear to be the first direct evidence of popcorn mesons, although some of them could be arising from hypothetical unresolved, unobserved charmed baryon resonances contributing decay mesons to our data. To contribute a significant fraction, this hypothesis requires a large number of such broad unresolved states and seems unlikely, but can not be completely excluded.

D mesons in a magnetic field

DOE PAGES

Gubler, Philipp; Hattori, Koichi; Lee, Su Houng; ...

2016-03-15

In this paper, we investigate the mass spectra of open heavy flavor mesons in an external constant magnetic field within QCD sum rules. Spectral Ansatze on the phenomenological side are proposed in order to properly take into account mixing effects between the pseudoscalar and vector channels, and the Landau levels of charged mesons. The operator product expansion is implemented up to dimension-5 operators. As a result, we find for neutral D mesons a significant positive mass shift that goes beyond simple mixing effects. In contrast, charged D mesons are further subject to Landau level effects, which together with the mixingmore » effects almost completely saturate the mass shifts obtained in our sum rule analysis.« less

Form factors are obtained using the improved Isgur-Scora-Grinstein-Wise II model. Consequently, branching ratios for the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa-favored and Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa-suppressed decays are calculated.

Coupled π π , K K ¯ scattering in P -wave and the ρ resonance from lattice QCD

In this study, we determine elastic and coupled-channel amplitudes for isospin-1 meson-meson scattering inmore » $P$-wave, by calculating correlation functions using lattice QCD with light quark masses such that $$m_\\pi = 236$$ MeV in a cubic volume of $$\\sim (4 \\,\\mathrm{fm})^3$$. Variational analyses of large matrices of correlation functions computed using operator constructions resembling $$\\pi\\pi$$, $$K\\overline{K}$$ and $$q\\bar{q}$$, in several moving frames and several lattice irreducible representations, leads to discrete energy spectra from which scattering amplitudes are extracted. In the elastic $$\\pi\\pi$$ scattering region we obtain a detailed energy-dependence for the phase-shift, corresponding to a $$\\rho$$ resonance, and we extend the analysis into the coupled-channel $$K\\overline{K}$$ region for the first time, finding a small coupling between the channels.« less

Antiproton-proton annihilation into light neutral meson pairs within an effective meson theory

Antiproton-proton annihilation into light neutral mesons in the few GeV energy domain is investigated in view of a global description of the existing data and predictions for future work at the Antiproton Annihilation at Darmstadt (PANDA) experiment at the Facility for Antiproton and Ion Research (FAIR). An effective meson model earlier developed, with mesonic and baryonic degrees of freedom in s , t , and u channels, is applied here to π0π0 production. Form factors with logarithmic s and t (u ) dependencies are applied. A fair agreement with the existing angular distributions is obtained. Applying SU(3) symmetry, it is straightforward to recover the angular distributions for π0η and η η production in the same energy range. A good agreement is generally obtained with all existing data.

We report on a measurement of the flavor-specific Bs0 lifetime and of the Ds- lifetime using proton-proton collisions at center-of-mass energies of 7 and 8 TeV, collected by the LHCb experiment and corresponding to 3.0 fb-1 of integrated luminosity. Approximately 407 000 Bs0→Ds(*)-μ+νμ decays are partially reconstructed in the K+K-π-μ+ final state. The Bs0 and Ds- natural widths are determined using, as a reference, kinematically similar B0→D(*)-μ+νμ decays reconstructed in the same final state. The resulting differences between widths of Bs0 and B0 mesons and of Ds- and D- mesons are ΔΓ(B )=-0.0115 ±0.0053 (stat ) ±0.0041 (syst ) ps-1 and ΔΓ(D )=1.0131 ±0.0117 (stat ) ±0.0065 (syst ) ps-1, respectively. Combined with the known B0 and D- lifetimes, these yield the flavor-specific Bs0 lifetime, τBs 0 fs =1.547 ±0.013 (stat ) ±0.010 (syst ) ±0.004 (τB) ps and the Ds- lifetime, τDs-=0.5064 ±0.0030 (stat ) ±0.0017 (syst ) ±0.0017 (τD) ps . The last uncertainties originate from the limited knowledge of the B0 and D- lifetimes. The results improve upon current determinations.

Measurements of spin alignment of vector mesons and global polarization of hyperons with ALICE at the LHC

NASA Astrophysics Data System (ADS)

Mohanty, Bedangadas

2018-02-01

We present the measurements related to global polarization of Λ hyperons and spin alignment of K*0 vector mesons at mid-rapidity for Pb-Pb collisions at = 2.76 TeV using the ALICE detector at the LHC. The global polarization measurements are carried out with respect to the first order event plane while the spin alignment measurements are carried out with respect to the production plane. No global polarization signal for Λ is observed for 5-15% and 15-50% central Pb-Pb collisions. The spin density matrix element ρ00 is found to have values slightly below ⅓ at low transverse momentum (pT) for K*0 mesons, while it is consistent with ⅓ (no spin alignment) at higher pT. No spin alignment is observed for K*0 in pp collisions at √s = 13 TeV and for the spin zero hadron K0S in 20-40% Pb-Pb collisions at = 2.76 TeV.

Hadronic three-body decays of B mesons

NASA Astrophysics Data System (ADS)

Cheng, Hai-Yang

2016-04-01

Hadronic three-body decays of B mesons receive both resonant and nonresonant contributions. Dominant nonresonant contributions to tree-dominated three-body decays arise from the b → u tree transition which can be evaluated using heavy meson chiral perturbation theory valid in the soft meson limit. For penguin-dominated decays, nonresonant signals come mainly from the penguin amplitude governed by the matrix elements of scalar densities . The intermediate vector meson contributions to three-body decays are identified through the vector current, while the scalar meson resonances are mainly associated with the scalar density. We discuss inclusive and regional direct CP asymmetries. In the low mass regions of the Dalitz plot, we find that the regional CP violation is indeed largely enhanced with respect to the inclusive one.

Meson spectroscopy, quark mixing and quantum chromodynamics

DOE Office of Scientific and Technical Information (OSTI.GOV)

Filippov, A.T.

1979-04-01

A semiphenomenological theory of the quark-antiquark meson mass spectrum is presented. Relativistic kinematic effects due to unequal quark masses and SU (3) -breaking effects in the slopes of Regge trajectories and in radially excited states are taken into account. Violation of the OZI rule is accounted for by means of a mixing matrix for the quark wave functions, which is given by QCD. To describe the dependence of the mixing parameters on the meson masses, a simple extrapolation of the QCD expressions is proposed from the ''asymptotic-freedom'' region to the ''infrared-slavery'' region. To calculate the masses and mixing angles ofmore » the pseudoscalar mesons, the condition for a minimal pion mass is proposed. The eta-meson mass is then shown to be close to its maximum. The predictions of the theory for meson masses and mixing angles are in good agreement with experiment.« less

The pT-differential inclusive production cross section of the prompt charm-strange meson Ds+ in the rapidity range | y | < 0.5 was measured in proton-proton collisions at √{ s} = 7 TeV at the LHC using the ALICE detector. The analysis was performed on a data sample of 2.98 ×108 events collected with a minimum-bias trigger. The corresponding integrated luminosity is Lint = 4.8 nb-1. Reconstructing the decay Ds+ → ϕπ+, with ϕ →K-K+, and its charge conjugate, about 480 Ds± mesons were counted, after selection cuts, in the transverse momentum range 2 meson species (namely D0, D+, D*+ and Ds+) were determined both as a function of pT and integrated over pT after extrapolating to full pT range, together with the strangeness suppression factor in charm fragmentation. The obtained values are found to be compatible within uncertainties with those measured by other experiments in e+e-, ep and pp interactions at various centre-of-mass energies.

Spontaneous collapse: A solution to the measurement problem and a source of the decay in mesonic systems

Dynamical reduction models propose a solution to the measurement problem in quantum mechanics: the collapse of the wave function becomes a physical process. We compute the predictions to decaying and flavor-oscillating neutral mesons for the two most promising collapse models, the QMUPL (quantum mechanics with universal position localization) model and the mass-proportional CSL (continuous spontaneous localization) model. Our results are showing (i) a strong sensitivity to the very assumptions of the noise field underlying those two collapse models and (ii) under particular assumptions the CSL case allows one even to recover the decay dynamics. This in turn allows one to predict the effective collapse rates solely based on the measured values for the oscillation (mass differences) and the measured values of the decay constants. The four types of neutral mesons (K meson, D meson, Bd meson, and Bs meson) lead surprisingly to ranges comparable to those put forward by Adler [J. Phys. A: Math. Theor. 40, 2935 (2007), 10.1088/1751-8113/40/12/S03] and Ghirardi, Rimini, and Weber [Phys. Rev. D 34, 470 (1986), 10.1103/PhysRevD.34.470]. Our results show that these systems at high energies are very sensitive to possible modifications of the standard quantum theory, making them a very powerful laboratory to rule out certain collapse scenarios and study the detailed physical processes solving the measurement problem.

The light vector mesons (ρ,ω, and ϕ) were produced in deuterium, carbon, titanium, and iron targets in a search for possible in-medium modifications to the properties of the ρ meson at normal nuclear densities and zero temperature. The vector mesons were detected with the CEBAF Large Acceptance Spectrometer (CLAS) via their decays to e+e-. The rare leptonic decay was chosen to reduce final-state interactions. A combinatorial background was subtracted from the invariant mass spectra using a well-established event-mixing technique. The ρ-meson mass spectrum was extracted after the ω and ϕ signals were removed in a nearly model-independent way. Comparisons were made between the ρ mass spectra from the heavy targets (A>2) with the mass spectrum extracted from the deuterium target. With respect to the ρ-meson mass, we obtain a small shift compatible with zero. Also, we measure widths consistent with standard nuclear many-body effects such as collisional broadening and Fermi motion.

Exotic Meson Results from BNL E852

NASA Astrophysics Data System (ADS)

Manak, Joseph J.

1998-10-01

Results from BNL experiment 852 on exotic (non-q\\overlineq) meson production are presented. Production of final states with J^PC = 1^-+ is observed in π^-p interactions at 18 GeV/c in the ηπ^-, ρπ^- and η^'π^- channels. Since such states are manifestly exotic if they are resonant, we describe amplitude analyses which use the interference between these states and other well known states to measure the phase behavior of the J^PC = 1^-+ amplitudes. The analyses show that, in addition to the previously reported(D.R. Thompson et al.), Phys. Rev. Lett. 79, 1630 (1997) evidence for an exotic meson in the ηπ^- channel, there is strong evidence for a second exotic meson decaying to ρπ^- with a mass of M=1593 ±8^+29_-47 MeV/c^2 and a width of Γ=168 ±20^+150_-12 MeV/c^2. We also show that the η^'π^- system is dominated by J^PC = 1^-+ production and we use those data to determine decay branching ratios for the exotic mesons. Such measurements are expected to be crucial in determining the constituent nature of the exotic mesons - that is, whether they are consistent with being hybrid mesons or four-quark states.

Using 347.5fb-1 of data recorded by the BABAR detector at the PEP-II electron-positron collider, 244×103 signal events for the D+→K-π+e+νe decay channel are analyzed. This decay mode is dominated by the K¯*(892)0 contribution. We determine the K¯*(892)0 parameters: mK*(892)0=(895.4±0.2±0.2)MeV/c2, ΓK*(892)00=(46.5±0.3±0.2)MeV/c2, and the Blatt-Weisskopf parameter rBW=2.1±0.5±0.5(GeV/c)-1, where the first uncertainty comes from statistics and the second from systematic uncertainties. We also measure the parameters defining the corresponding hadronic form factors at q2=0 (rV=(V(0))/(A1(0))=1.463±0.017±0.031, r2=(A2(0))/(A1(0))=0.801±0.020±0.020) and the value of the axial-vector pole mass parametrizing the q2 variation of A1 and A2: mA=(2.63±0.10±0.13)GeV/c2. The S-wave fraction is equal to (5.79±0.16±0.15)%. Other signal components correspond to fractions below 1%. Using the D+→K-π+π+ channel as a normalization, we measure the D+ semileptonic branching fraction: B(D+→K-π+e+νe)=(4.00±0.03±0.04±0.09)×10-2, where the third uncertainty comes from external inputs. We then obtain the value of the hadronic form factor A1 at q2=0: A1(0)=0.6200±0.0056±0.0065±0.0071. Fixing the P-wave parameters, we measure the phase of the S wave for several values of the Kπ mass. These results confirm those obtained with Kπ production at small momentum transfer in fixed target experiments.

We revisit antiproton-proton annihilation into light mesons in the energy domain relevant to the antiproton annihilation at Darmstadt (PANDA) experiment at the GSI Facility for Antiproton and Ion Research (FAIR) [2.25 (1.5 ) ≤√{s }(pL) ≤5.47 (15 ) GeV (GeV /c ) where √{s }(pL) is the total energy (the beam momentum in the laboratory frame)]. An effective meson model is developed, with mesonic and baryonic degrees of freedom. Form factors are added to take into account the composite nature of the interacting hadrons. A comparison is made with the existing data for charged pion pair production and predictions for angular distributions and energy dependence in the range 3.362 (5 ) ≤√{s }(pL) ≤4.559 (10.1 ) GeV (GeV /c ). The model is applied to π±p elastic scattering, using crossing symmetry, and to charged kaon pair production, on the basis of SU(3) symmetry. In all cases the results illustrate a nice agreement with the data.

Constraining secret gauge interactions of neutrinos by meson decays

NASA Astrophysics Data System (ADS)

Bakhti, P.; Farzan, Y.

2017-05-01

Secret coupling of neutrinos to a new light vector boson, Z', with a mass smaller than 100 MeV is motivated within a myriad of scenarios which are designed to explain various anomalies in particle physics and cosmology. Due to the longitudinal component of the massive vector boson, the rates of three-body decay of charged mesons (M ) such as the pion and the kaon to the light lepton plus neutrino and Z' (M →l ν Z') are enhanced by a factor of (mM/mZ')2. On the other hand, the standard two body decay M →l ν is suppressed by a factor of (ml/mM)2 due to chirality. We show that in the case of (M →e ν Z'), the enhancement of mM4/me2mZ'2˜1 0 8-1 010 relative to two-body decay (M →e ν ) enables us to probe very small values of gauge coupling for νe. The strongest bound comes from the RK≡Br (K →e +ν )/Br (K →μ +ν ) measurement in the NA62 experiment. The bound can be significantly improved by customized searches for signals of three-body charged meson decay into the positron plus missing energy in the NA62 and/or PIENU data.

The decays B → Ψ(2S)π(K),ηc(2S)π(K) in the pQCD approach beyond the leading-order

Zhang, Zhi-Qing

2017-09-01

Two body B meson decays involving the radially excited meson ψ (2 S) /ηc (2 S) in the final states are studied by using the perturbative QCD (pQCD) approach. We find that: (a) The branching ratios for the decays involving a K meson are predicted as Br (B+ → ψ (2 S)K+) = (5.37-2.22+1.85) ×10-4, Br (B0 → ψ (2 S)K0) = (4.98-2.06+1.71) ×10-4, Br (B+ →ηc (2 S)K+) = (3.54-3.09+3.18) ×10-4, which are consistent with the present data when the next-to-leading-order (NLO) effects are included. Here the NLO effects are from the vertex corrections and the NLO Wilson coefficients. The large errors in the decay B+ →ηc (2 S)K+ are mainly induced by using the decay constant f ηc (2 S) =0.243-0.111+0.079 GeV with large uncertainties. (b) While there seems to be some room left for other higher order corrections or the non-perturbative long distance contributions in the decays involving a π meson, Br (B+ → ψ (2 S)π+) = (1.17-0.50+0.42) ×10-5, Br (B0 → ψ (2 S)π0) =0.54-0.23+0.20 ×10-5, which are smaller than the present data. The results for other decays can be tested via running LHCb and forthcoming Super-B experiments. (c) There is no obvious evidence of the direct CP violation being seen in the decays B → ψ (2 S) π (K) ,ηc (2 S) π (K) in the present experiments, which is supported by our calculations. If a few percent value is confirmed in the future, this would definitely indicate the existence of new physics.

Photon and vector meson exchanges in the production of light meson pairs and elementary atoms

NASA Astrophysics Data System (ADS)

Gevorkyan, S. R.; Kuraev, E. A.; Volkov, M. K.

2013-01-01

The production of pseudoscalar and scalar meson pairs ππ, ηη, η‧η‧, σσ as well as bound states in high energy γγ collisions are considered. The exchange by a vector particle in the binary process γ + γ → ha + hb with hadronic states ha, hb in fragmentation regions of the initial particle leads to nondecreasing cross sections with increasing energy, that is a priority of peripheral kinematics. Unlike the photon exchange the vector meson exchange needs a reggeization leading to fall with energy growth. Nevertheless, due to the peripheral kinematics beyond very forward production angles the vector meson exchanges dominate over all possible exchanges. The proposed approach allows one to express the matrix elements of the considered processes through impacting factors, which can be calculated in perturbation models like chiral perturbation theory (ChPT) or the Nambu-Jona-Lasinio (NJL) model. In particular cases the impact factors can be determined from relevant γγ sub-processes or the vector meson radiative decay width. The pionium atom production in the collisions of high energy electrons and pions with protons is considered and the relevant cross sections have been estimated.

Neutral and charged scalar mesons, pseudoscalar mesons, and diquarks in magnetic fields

2018-04-01

We investigate both (pseudo)scalar mesons and diquarks in the presence of external magnetic field in the framework of the two-flavored Nambu-Jona-Lasinio (NJL) model, where mesons and diquarks are constructed by infinite sum of quark-loop chains by using random phase approximation. The polarization function of the quark-loop is calculated to the leading order of 1 /Nc expansion by taking the quark propagator in the Landau level representation. We systematically investigate the masses behaviors of scalar σ meson, neutral and charged pions as well as the scalar diquarks, with respect to the magnetic field strength at finite temperature and chemical potential. It is shown that the numerical results of both neutral and charged pions are consistent with the lattice QCD simulations. The mass of the charge neutral pion keeps almost a constant under the magnetic field, which is preserved by the remnant symmetry of QCD ×QED in the vacuum. The mass of the charge neutral scalar σ is around two times quark mass and increases with the magnetic field due to the magnetic catalysis effect, which is an typical example showing that the polarized internal quark structure cannot be neglected when we consider the meson properties under magnetic field. For the charged particles, the one quark-antiquark loop contribution to the charged π± increases essentially with the increase of magnetic fields due to the magnetic catalysis of the polarized quarks. However, the one quark-quark loop contribution to the scalar diquark mass is negative comparing with the point-particle result and the loop effect is small.

Topics in two-body hadronic decays of D mesons

NASA Astrophysics Data System (ADS)

El Aaoud, El Hassan

We have carried out an analysis of helicity and partial- wave amplitudes for the decay of D mesons to two vector mesons V 1V2, D --> V1V2. In particular we have studied the Cabibbo-favored decays D+s --> ρφ and D --> K*ρ in the factorization approximation using several models for the form factors. All the models, with the exception of one, generate partial-wave amplitudes with the hierarchy |S| > |P| > | D|. Even though in most models the D-wave amplitude is an order of magnitude smaller than the S-wave amplitude, its effect on the longitudinal polarization could be as large as 30%. Due to a misidentification of the partial-wave amplitudes in terms of the Lorentz structures in the relevant literature, we cast doubt on the veracity of the listed data for the decay D --> K*ρ, particularly the partial-wave branching ratios. We have also investigated the effect of the isospin ½, JP = 0+ resonant state K*0 (1950) on the decays D0 --> K¯0η and D0 --> K¯0η' as a function of the branching ratio sum r = Br( K*0 (1950) --> K¯0η) + Br( K*0 (1950) --> K¯0η ') and the coupling constants gK*0 K0h , and gK*0 K0h' . We have used a factorized input for the D 0 --> K*0 (1950) weak transition through a πK loop. We estimated both on- and off-shell contributions from the loop. Our calculation shows that the off-shell effects are significant. For r >= 30% a fit to the decay amplitude |A(D 0 --> K¯0η' )| was possible, but the amplitude A(D 0 --> K¯0η) remained at its factorized value and hence a branching ratio too low compared to data. For small values of r, r <= 18%, we were able to fit |A(D0 --> K¯0η)|, and despite the fact that | A(D0 --> K¯ 0η') | could be raised by almost 100% over its factorized value, it still falls short of its experimental value. A simultaneous fit to both amplitudes |(A(D0 --> K¯0η')| and | A(D0 --> K¯ 0η| was not possible. We have also determined the strong phase of the resonant amplitudes for both decays.

The photoproduction of vector mesons on various nuclei has been studied using the CLAS detector at Jefferson Laboratory. The vector mesons, ρ, ω, and ϕ, are observed via their decay to e+e-, in order to reduce the effects of final-state interactions in the nucleus. Of particular interest are possible in-medium effects on the properties of the ρ meson. The ρ mass spectrum is extracted from the data on various nuclei, H2, C, Fe, and Ti. We observe no significant mass shift and some broadening consistent with expected collisional broadening for the ρ meson.

Double-parton scattering effects in D0B+ and B+B+ meson-meson pair production in proton-proton collisions at the LHC

Maciuła, Rafał; Szczurek, Antoni

2018-05-01

We extend our previous studies of double-parton scattering (DPS) to simultaneous production of c c ¯ and b b ¯ and production of two pairs of b b ¯. The calculation is performed within a factorized ansatz. Each parton scattering is calculated within the kT-factorization approach. The hadronization is done with the help of fragmentation functions. Production of D mesons in our framework was tested in our previous works. Here, we present our predictions for B mesons. A good agreement is achieved with the LHCb data. We present our results for c c ¯b b ¯ and b b ¯b b ¯ final states. For completeness, we compare results for double- and single-parton scattering (SPS). As for the c c ¯c c ¯ final state, the DPS dominates over the SPS, especially for small transverse momenta. We present several distributions and integrated cross sections with realistic cuts for simultaneous production of D0B+ and B+B+, suggesting future experimental studies at the LHC.

The PHENIX experiment at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider has performed a systematic study of KS0 and K*0 meson production at midrapidity in p +p ,d +Au , and Cu +Cu collisions at √{s NN}=200 GeV. The KS0 and K*0 mesons are reconstructed via their KS0→π0(→γ γ ) π0(→γ γ ) and K*0→K±π∓ decay modes, respectively. The measured transverse-momentum spectra are used to determine the nuclear modification factor of KS0 and K*0 mesons in d +Au and Cu +Cu collisions at different centralities. In the d +Au collisions, the nuclear modification factor of KS0 and K*0 mesons is almost constant as a function of transverse momentum and is consistent with unity, showing that cold-nuclear-matter effects do not play a significant role in the measured kinematic range. In Cu +Cu collisions, within the uncertainties no nuclear modification is registered in peripheral collisions. In central collisions, both mesons show suppression relative to the expectations from the p +p yield scaled by the number of binary nucleon-nucleon collisions in the Cu +Cu system. In the pT range 2 - 5 GeV /c , the strange mesons (KS0,K*0) similarly to the ϕ meson with hidden strangeness, show an intermediate suppression between the more suppressed light quark mesons (π0) and the nonsuppressed baryons (p ,p ¯). At higher transverse momentum, pT>5 GeV /c , production of all particles is similarly suppressed by a factor of ≈2 .
