Mixing of Pseudo-Goldstone Bosons and Effects on HERA High-Q2 Events

We study the mixing of pseudo-Goldstone bosons predicted by technicolor theory and the effects on HERA high-Q² events. We find that: (a) there eyist two F = 0 scalar leptoquarks P₃′ with m(P₃′) = 200 GeV and P₃⁰ with m(₃⁰) =225 GeV for β₁ = β₂ = 0.4; (b) the P₃′ and P₃⁰ can contribute the required cross section to account for the excesses of NC and CC high-Q² events; (c) the coexistence of P₃′ and P₃⁰ may be responsible for the splitting of averaged mass of the H1 and ZEUS high-Q² neutral current events.     

基于4A"势能面研究C(3P)+NO(X2Π)→CO(X1Σ+)+N(4S)反应的立体动力学性质

运用准经典轨线方法(QCT), 基于Abrahamsson等构造的⁴A"势能面(Abrahamsson E Andersson S, Nyman G, Markovic N 2008 Phys. Chem. Chem. Phys. 10 4400), 在碰撞能为0.06 eV时, 对C(³P)+NO(X²Π )→CO(X¹Σ⁺)+N(⁴S)反应立体动力学性质进行了理论研究. 在考虑反应物NO转动和振动激发的条件下, 计算了质心坐标系下k-j'矢量(k与j'分别为反应物速度与产物角动量)相关的P(θ_r)分布和k-k'-j'矢量(k'为产物相对速度)相关的P(φ_r)分布. 此外还计算了该反应的三个极化微分截面(2π/σ)(dσ₀₀/dω_t), (2π/σ)(dσ₂₀/dω_t)以及(2π/σ)(dσ₂₂+dω_t). 计算结果表明转动和振动激发对产物取向影响较大而对定向影响较小; 对于三个极化微分截面, 转动激发的影响不大, 而振动激发的影响则较大.     

Revisiting the Twist-3 Distribution Amplitudes of K Meson Within the QCD Background Field Approach

In the present paper, we investigate the kaon twist-3 distribution amplitudes (DAs) φ_p,σ^K within the QCD background field approach. The SU_f(3)-breaking effects are studied in detail under a systematical way, especially the sum rules for the moments of φ_p,σ^K are obtained by keeping all the mass terms in the s-quark propagator consistently. After adding all the uncertainties in quadrature, the first two Gegenbauler moments of φ_p,σ^K are a_K,p¹ (1 GeV) = -0.376_-0.148^+0.103, a_K,p²(1 GeV) = 0.701_-0.491^+0.481, a_K,σ¹ (1 GeV) = -0.160_-0.074^+0.051, and a_K,σ²(1 GeV) = 0.369_-0.149^+0.163, respectively. Their normalization parameters μ_K^p|1 m GeV = 1.188_-0.043^+0.039 GeV and μ_K^σ|1 m GeV = 1.021_-0.055^+0.036 GeV. A detailed discussion on the properties of φ_p,σ^K moments shows that the higher-order s-quark mass terms can indeed provide sizable contributions. Furthermore, based on the newly obtained moments, a model for the kaon twist-3 wavefunction Ψ_p,σ^K(x,k⊥) with a better end-point behavior is constructed, which shall be useful for perturbative QCD calculations. As a byproduct, we make a discussion on the properties of the pion twist-3 DAs.     

Single Charged Top-Pion Production at the Next Generation e+e- Colliders

The single charged top-pion production processes e⁺e^-→t\bar{b}Π_t^- and e⁺e^-→ W⁺Π_t^- are studied in the framework of top-color-assisted technicolor (TC2) model. Our studies show that the cross section σ(e⁺e^-→t\bar{b}Π_t^-) reaches the level of tens of fb and σ(e⁺e^-→W⁺Π_t^-) reaches the level of a few fb. With the yearly integrated luminosity of L～500 fb^-1 expected at the planned colliders, one could collect thousands of charged top-pion of events via the process e⁺e^-→t\bar{b}Π_t^- and hundreds of events via the process e⁺e^-→W⁺Π_t^-. The flavor changing decay mode Π_t^-→b\bar{c} is the best channel to detect charged top-pion due to the clean SM background. With a large number of events and the clean background, the charged top-pion should be observable at the planned colliders. Therefore, our studies in this paper can help us to search for charged top-pion, and furthermore, to test the TC2 model.     

Photoproduction of the Charged Top-Pions at the LHeC

The top triangle moose (TTM) model, which can be seen as the deconstructed version of the topcolor-assisted technicolor (TC2) model, predicts the existence of the charged top-pions π_t^± in low energy spectrum. In the context of this model, we consider photoproduction of π_t^± via the subprocesses γb → tπ_t^- and γb → tπ_t⁺ at the large hadron-electron collider (LHeC), in which high energy photon beams are generated by using the Compton backscatting method. We find that, as long as the charged top-pions are not too heavy, they can be abundantly produced via γb collision.     

Topcolor Assisted Technicolor Models and Single Top Quark Production via qqˊ→tb at the Tevatron

TC2 theory predicts a number of new particles including gauge bosons, technipions and top-pions. In this paper, we study and calculate the corrections of all these new particles to single top-quark production rate σ_t via the process qq^ˊ→tb at the Fermilab Tevatron. Our results show that the correction mainly comes from the virtual effect of the top-pions. With reasonable value of the parameters, the relative correction δσ_t/σ_t⁰ is larger than 15% which may be detected at the Tevatron RunII or RunIII.     

Comments on QCD Corrections to b + sγ Decay

We find some errors in the previous calculation of leading log QCD corrections to b + sγ decay, which include corrections from mto, to M_w in addition to corrections from M_w to m_b. The inclusive decay rate is found to be enhanced more than previous calculations. At m_t = 170 GeV, the running from m_top to M_w results in 13% enhancement, and for m_t = 250 GeV, 16% enhancement is found.     

The Role of a1(1260) in π-p→a1-(1260)p and π-p→π-ρ0p Reactions Near Threshold

We report on a theoretical study of the π^-p→a₁^-(1260) p and π^-p→π^-ρ⁰p reactions near threshold within an effective Lagrangian approach. The production process is described by t-channel ρ⁰ meson exchange. For the π^-p→π^-ρ⁰p reaction, the final π^-ρ⁰ results from the decay of the a₁(1260) resonance, which is assumed as a dynamically generated state from the K^*K and ρπ coupled channel interactions. We calculate the total cross section of the π^-p→a₁^-(1260)p reaction. It is shown that, with the coupling constant of the a₁(1260) to ρπ channel obtained from the chiral unitary theory and a cut off parameter Λρ~1.5 GeV in the form factors, the experimental measurement can be reproduced. Furthermore, the total and differential cross sections of π^-p→a₁^-(1260)p→π^-ρ⁰p reaction are evaluated, and it is expected that our model calculations can be tested by future experiments. These reactions are important for the study of the a₁(1260) resonance and would provide further constraints on the properties of the a₁(1260) state.     

Upper Bounds on Top Quark Mass,Z Boson Decay Widths and Mass Ratio MW/MZ

In this paper we made a comprehensive analysis of some latest esperimental data-the Z boson decay widths, the mass ratio M_W/M_Z and effective vector coupling constant g_v, within the framework of standard model. We considered the 0(α_s²), order QCD corrections in tlte calculation of T_h and T_z. The analysis shows that the mass ratio (M_W/M_Z)² is rather sensitive to the change of the strong coupling constant α_s(M_Z), and the smaller value α_s(M_Z)≤0.128 is preferred. The upper bounds on top quark Inass M_t are obtained from different analyses. The final averaged result is M_t= 102 37 GeV, or M_t< 186 GeV at 95% C.L. for Higgs boson mass M_H in the range of 50～1000 GeV.     

QCD Correction to σ(e+e-→ZH→Zbb)

We study the QCD corrections to the calculated values of σ(e⁺e^-→ZH→Zbb), and find that for M_H<100 GeV, the process can be measured at the LEP energy to extract information of Higgs and the QCD corrections are negligible, namely the tree-level calculation is sufficiently aciurate for the energy range, while for M_H > 100 GeV, the Higgs-involved subprocess can only be investigated at NLC, and then the QCD correction becomes as large as 45%. For M_H > 2mt, considering the subprocess e⁺e^-→ZH→Ztt, the QCD corrections are also important and must be taken into account for the cross section evaluation.     

The Three-Pion Decays of the a1(1260)

We investigate the decay of a₁⁺ (1260)→π⁺π⁺π^- with the assumption that the a₁(1260) is dynamically generated from the coupled channel ρπ and KK^* interactions. In addition to the tree level diagrams that proceed via a₁⁺ (1260)→ρ⁰π⁺→π⁺π⁺π^-, we take into account also the final state interactions of ππ→ππ and KK→ππ. We calculate the invariant π⁺π^- mass distribution and also the total decay width of a₁⁺ (1260)→π⁺π⁺π^- as a function of the mass of a₁(1260). The calculated total decay width of a₁(1260) is significantly different from other model calculations and tied to the dynamical nature of the a₁(1260) resonance. The future experimental observations could test of model calculations and would provide vary valuable information on the relevance of the ρπ component in the a₁(1260) wave function.     

Production of Neutral Top-Pion Associated with a Gauge Boson at LHC

In this paper, we study the production of the neutral top-pion (Π⁰_t) associated with a gauge boson at the LHC, i.e. pp→Π⁰_tV(V=g,W,Z,γ). The cross section of pp→Π⁰_tg is at the level of 10² pb in the most parameter space. Such a process with the flavor-changing decay mode Π⁰_t→ tc might provide viable signatures to detect Π⁰_t at the LHC. The cross sections of other processes pp→Π⁰_tW(Z,γ) are too small to detect Π⁰_t, which open a window to distinguish the Higgs boson in the SM or MSSM from Π⁰_t.     

Third-Order Optical Nonlinearity in Two-Dimensional Transition Metal Dichalcogenides

We present a detailed calculation of the linear and nonlinear optical response of four types of monolayer twodimensional (2D) transition-metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs), having the formula MX₂ with M=Mo, W and X=S, Se. The calculations are based on 6-band tight-binding model of TMDCs, and then performing a semi-classical perturbation analysis of response functions. We numerically calculate the linear χ_μν⁽¹⁾ (-ω;ω) and nonlinear surface susceptibility tensors χ_μνζη⁽³⁾(-ω_Σ; ω_r; ω_s; ω_t) with ω_Σ=ω_r+ω_s+ω_t. Both non-degenerate and degenerate cases are studied for thirdharmonic generation and nonlinear refractive index, respectively. Computational results obtained with no external fitting parameters are discussed regarding two recent reported experiments on MoS₂, and thus we can confirm the extraordinarily strong optical nonlinearity of TMDCs. As a possible application, we demonstrate generation of a π/4-rotated squeezed state by means of nonlinear response of TMDCs, in a silica micro-disk resonator covered with the 2D material. Our proposed method will enable accurate calculations of nonlinear optical response, such as four-wave mixing and highharmonic generation in 2D materials and their heterostructures, thus enabling study of novel functionalities of 2D photonic integrated circuits.     

Global Electroweak Fit and Its Implication for Z'

Among the Z-pole observables, AFB^（0,b） and Ae display moderately large standard deviations from the Standard Model predictions. This result can be interpreted as independent experimental evidence for new physics beyond the SM, even if the 125 GeV Higgs-like boson at the LHC is ultimately confirmed as the SM Higgs. A recalculated global electroweak fit with a model-independent Z＇ shows that Z＇ can simultaneously suppress AFB（0,b） and Ae at the Z-pole, and reduce the largest deviation from 2.6σ in SM to 1.0σ in our scenario. The Z＇ fitting results also support a negative S parameter.     

Pole Analysis on Unitarized SU(3)× SU(3) One Loop χPT Amplitudes

We analyze ππ-KK and πη-KK couple channel [1,1] matrix Padé amplitudes of SU(3)× SU(3) chiral perturbation theory. By fitting phase shift and inelasticity data, we determine pole positions in different channels (f₀(980), a₀(980), f₀(600), K₀^*(800), K^*(892), ρ(770)) and trace their N_c trajectories. We stress that a couple channel Breit-Wigner resonance should exhibit two poles on different Riemann sheets and meet each other on the real axis when N_c=∞. Poles are hence classified using this criteria and we conclude that K^*(892) and ρ(770) are unambiguous Breit-Wigner resonances. For scalars the situation is much less clear. We find that f₀(980) is a molecular state rather than a Breit-Wigner resonance, while a₀(980), though behave oddly when varying N_c, do maintain a twin pole structure.     

Ba（d）^o-Ba（d）^o Mixing and New Physics Effects in a Top Quark Two-Higgs Doublet Model

We calculate the new physics contributions to the neutral Bd^o and Ba^o meson mass splitting △Md and △Ma induced by the box diagrams involving the charged-Higgs bosons in the top quark two-Higgs doublet model （T2HDM）. Using the precision data, we obtain the bounds on the parameter space of the T2HDM： （a） For fixed MH = 400 GeV and 5= [0°, 60°], the upper bound on tan β is tan β≤ 30 after the inclusion of major theoretical uncertainties; （b） For the case of tan β≤ 20, a light charged Higgs boson with a mass around 300 GeV is allowed; and （c） The bounds on tan β and MH are strongly correlated： a smaller （larger） tan β means a lighter （heavier） charged Higgs boson.     

Higher order QCD and quark mass corrections to the Z widths in the standard model

We estimate, in the scheme, the strenghts of the higher order QCD (_s², _s³) and quark mass (m_f², m_f⁴, _s(m_f², m_f⁴)) corrections to the Z widths in the standard model (SM). Then, we give improved SM predictions of these widths. The observables Γ_H/Γ_e and σ_H, which can be predicted and measured accurately are almost insensitive to the changes of the Higgs ( 40 GeV M_H 1 TeV) and top quark (M_zM_t230 GeV) masses. Then, they should be useful in the high precision tests of the SM> Improved estimates of some quantities related to the width which are sensitive to the top quark mass are also given.     

Reanalysis of the Z_c(4020), Z_c(4025), Z(4050) and Z(4250) as Tetraquark States with QCD Sum Rules

In this article, we calculate the contributions of the vacuum condensates up to dimension-10 in the operator product expansion, and study the C γμ- Cγνtype scalar, axial-vector and tensor tetraquark states in details with the QCD sum rules. In calculations, we use the formula μ = (M 2X/ Y /Z-(2Mc)2)~(1/2) to determine the energy scales of the QCD spectral densities. The predictions MJ =2=(4.02+0.09-0.09) GeV, MJ =1=(4.02+0.07-0.08) GeV favor assigning the Zc(4020) and Zc(4025) as the JP C= 1+-or 2++diquark-antidiquark type tetraquark states, while the prediction M++J =0=(3.85+0.15-0.09) GeV disfavors assigning the Z(4050) and Z(4250) as the JP C= 0diquark-antidiquark type tetraquark states. Furthermore, we discuss the strong decays of the 0++, 1+-, 2++diquark-antidiquark type tetraquark states in details.     

Chargino-Pair Productions via Drell-Yan Process at the LHC

We present the analytical and numerical investigations of chargino-pair productions via Drell-Yan process a t proton-proton collider in the frame of minimal supersymmetric extension at tree level. For the χ_i⁺χ_j^-(i,j= 1,2) pair productions at the LHC, the cross section is in the order of 3～2.5 ×10^-3 pb. We find that the cross sections of all kinds of chargino-pair production processes are strongly related to the SUSY Lagrangian parameters M₂ and μ.     

Anisotropy Effects and Observational Data on the Constraints of Evolution Dark Energy Models

We investigate cosmological dark energy models where the accelerated expansion of the universe is driven by a field with an anisotropic universe. The constraints on the parameters are obtained by maximum likelihood analysis using observational of 194 Type Ia supernovae(SNIa) and the most recent joint light-curve analysis(JLA) sample. In particular we reconstruct the dark energy equation of state parameter w(z) and the deceleration parameter q(z). We find that the best fit dynamical w(z) obtained from the 194 SNIa dataset does not cross the phantom divide line w(z) =-1 and remains above and close to w(z)≈-0.92 line for the whole redshift range 0 ≤ z ≤ 1.75 showing no evidence for phantom behavior. By applying the anisotropy effect on the ΛCDM model, the joint analysis indicates that ?_(σ0)= 0.0163 ± 0.03,with 194 SNIa, ?_(σ0)=-0.0032 ± 0.032 with 238 the SiFTO sample of JLA and ?_(σ0)= 0.011 ± 0.0117 with 1048 the SALT2 sample of Pantheon at 1σ′confidence interval. The analysis shows that by considering the anisotropy, it leads to more best fit parameters in all models with JLA SNe datasets. Furthermore, we use two statistical tests such as the usual χ_(min)~2/dof and p-test to compare two dark energy models with ΛCDM model. Finally we show that the presence of anisotropy is confirmed in mentioned models via SNIa dataset.
