Alternative technique for Standard Model estimation of the rare kaon decay branchings \left. {BR(K \to \pi \nu \bar \nu )} \right|_{SM}

We estimate $BR(K \to \pi \nu \bar \nu )$ in the context of the Standard Model by fitting for λ _t≡V _tdV _ts ^* of the “kaon unitarity triangle” relation. To find the vertex of this triangle, we fit data from |? _K|, the CP-violating parameter describing K mixing, and a _ψ,K , the CP-violating asymmetry in B _d ⁰ → J/ψK ⁰ decays, and obtain the values $\left. {BR(K \to \pi \nu \bar \nu )} \right|_{SM} = (7.07 \pm 1.03) \times 10^{ - 11} $ and $\left. {BR(K_L^0 \to \pi ^0 \nu \bar \nu )} \right|_{SM} = (2.60 \pm 0.52) \times 10^{ - 11} $ . Our estimate is independent of the CKM matrix element V _cb and of the ratio of B-mixing frequencies ${{\Delta m_{B_s } } \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {{\Delta m_{B_s } } {\Delta m_{B_d } }}} \right. \kern-0em} {\Delta m_{B_d } }}$ . We also use the constraint estimation of λ _t with additional data from $\Delta m_{B_d } $ and |V _ub|. This combined analysis slightly increases the precision of the rate estimation of $K^ + \to \pi ^ + \nu \bar \nu $ and $K_L^0 \to \pi ^0 \nu \bar \nu $ (by ?10 and ?20%, respectively). The measured value of $BR(K^ + \to \pi ^ + \nu \bar \nu )$ can be compared both to this estimate and to predictions made from ${{\Delta m_{B_s } } \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {{\Delta m_{B_s } } {\Delta m_{B_d } }}} \right. \kern-0em} {\Delta m_{B_d } }}$ .     

Conserved-vector-current hypothesis and the\bar v_e e^ - \to \pi ^ - \pi ^0 process

Based on the conserved-vector-current (CVC) hypothesis and a four-ρ-resonance unitary and analytic VMD model of the pion electromagnetic form factor, theσ _tot(E _v ^lab ) and dσdE _π ^lab of the weak \(\bar v_e e^ - \to \pi ^ - \pi ^0\) process are predicted theoretically for the first time. Their experimental approval could verify the CVC hypothesis for all energies above the two-pion threshold. Since, unlike the electromagnetic e⁺e^?→π⁺π^? process, there is no isoscalar vector-meson contribution to the weak \(\bar v_e e^ - \to \pi ^ - \pi ^0\) reaction, accurate measurements of theσ _tot(E _v ^lab ) that moreover is strengthened with energyE _v ^lab linearly could solve now a widely discussed problem of the mass specification of the first excited state of theρ(770) meson. As a by-product, an equality \(\sigma _{tot} (\bar v_e e^ - \to \pi ^ - \pi ^0 ) = \sigma _{tot} (e^ + e^ - \to \pi ^ - \pi ^0 )\) is predicted for \(\sqrt s \approx 70 GeV\) .     

Radiative decays of ρ and ω mesons

The results of the measurements of radiative decays of ρ and ω mesons with the Neutral Detector at thee ⁺ e ^? collider VEPP-2M are presented. The branching ratio of the decay ω→π ⁰γ was measured with higher than in previous experiments accuracy: $${\rm B}(\omega \to \pi ^0 \gamma ) = 0.0888 \pm 0.0062$$ . The ρ⁰→π ⁰ γ branching ratio was measured for the first time: $$B(\rho ^0 \to \pi ^0 \gamma ) = (7.9 \pm 2.0) \cdot 10^{ - 4} $$ . The decays ρ, ω→ηγ were studied. Their branching ratios with the assumption of constructive ρ?ω interference are: $$\begin{gathered} B(\omega \to \eta \gamma ) = (7.3 \pm 2.9) \cdot 10^{ - 4} , \hfill \\ B(\rho \to \eta \gamma ) = (4.0 \pm 1.1) \cdot 10^{ - 4} \hfill \\ \end{gathered} $$ . The branching ratios of ρ, ω→ηγ and ω→e ⁺ e ^? decays were also measured: $$\begin{gathered} B(\omega \to \pi ^ + \pi ^ - \pi ^0 ) = 0.8942 \pm 0.0062, \hfill \\ B(\omega \to e^ + e^ - ) = (7.14 \pm 0.36) \cdot 10^{ - 5} \hfill \\ \end{gathered} $$ . The upper limit for the ω→π ⁰ π ⁰ γ branching ratio was placed: B(ω→π ⁰ π ⁰ γ)<4·10^?4 at 90% confidence level.

Antiproton-proton annihilation at rest intoπ + π − η ′ andπ + π − η from atomicS andP states

We have measured the branching ratios for \(\bar pp\) annihilation at rest intoπ ⁺ π ^? η andπ ⁺ π ^? η′ in hydrogen gas in two data samples that have different fractions ofS-wave andP-wave initial states. The branching ratios are derived from a comparison with the topological branching ratio for \(\bar pp\) annihilations into four charged pions of (49±4)% and the branching ratio intoπ ⁺ π ^? π ⁺ π ^? π ⁰ of (18.7±1.6)%. We find a significant reduction of the branching ratios fromP-states for \(\bar pp \to \pi ^ + \pi ^ - \eta \) andπ ⁺ π ^? η′ in comparison toS-state annihilation. $$\begin{gathered} BR(S - wave \to \pi ^ + \pi ^ - \eta ) = (13.7 \pm 1.46) \cdot 10^{ - 3} \hfill \\ BR(P - wave \to \pi ^ + \pi ^ - \eta ) = (3.35 \pm 0.84) \cdot 10^{ - 3} \hfill \\ BR(S - wave \to \pi ^ + \pi ^ - \eta ') = (3.46 \pm 0.67) \cdot 10^{ - 3} \hfill \\ BR(P - wave \to \pi ^ + \pi ^ - \eta ') = (0.61 \pm 0.33) \cdot 10^{ - 3} . \hfill \\ \end{gathered} $$ In a partial wave analysis of theπ ⁺ π ^? η Dalitz plot we find the following contributions: Phase space, \(a_2^ + (1320)\pi ^ \mp \) ,ηρ⁰ andf ₂(1270)η: $$\begin{gathered} BR(S - wave \to \pi ^ + \pi ^ - \eta PS) = (6.31 \pm 1.22) \cdot 10^{ - 3} \hfill \\ BR(P - wave \to \pi ^ + \pi ^ - \eta PS) = (0.47 \pm 0.26) \cdot 10^{ - 3} \hfill \\ BR(^1 S_0 \to a_2^ \pm (1320)\pi ^ \mp ) = (2.59 \pm 0.73) \cdot 10^{ - 3} \hfill \\ BR(^3 S_1 \to a_2^ \pm (1320)\pi ^ \mp ) = (1.31 \pm 0.48) \cdot 10^{ - 3} \hfill \\ BR(P - wave \to a_2^ \pm (1320)\pi ^ \mp ) = (1.31 \pm 0.69) \cdot 10^{ - 3} \hfill \\ BR(^3 S_1 \to \rho \eta ) = (3.29 \pm 0.90) \cdot 10^{ - 3} \hfill \\ BR(^1 P_1 \to \rho \eta ) = (0.94 \pm 0.53) \cdot 10^{ - 3} \hfill \\ BR(^1 S_0 \to f_2 (1270)\eta ) = (0.083 \pm 0.086) \cdot 10^{ - 3} \hfill \\ BR(P - wave \to f_2 (1270)\eta ) = (0.64 \pm 0.26) \cdot 10^{ - 3} . \hfill \\ \end{gathered} $$ We find a 2 σ effect for the reaction \(\bar pp \to a_0^ \pm (980)\pi ^ \mp \) , \(a_0^ \pm \to \eta \pi ^ \pm \) , with a branching ratio of (0.13±0.07)·10^?3. For η' production we give a branching ratio of \(\bar pp \to \rho \eta '\) of (1.81±0.44)·10^?3 from³ S ₁. We estmate a contribution of about 0.3·10^?3 for ρη' fromP-states. The ratio of ρη and ρη' rpoduction is used to test the validity of the quark line rule. In theπ ⁺ π ^? π ⁺ π ^? γ final state we do not observe the reaction \(\bar pp \to \pi ^ + \pi ^ - \omega \) , ω→π ⁺ π ^? λ and derive an upper limit of 3·10^?3 for decay modeω→π ⁺ π ^? λ.     

Determination of the branching ratio ofρ 0→+μ− in the coherent dissociation π−→μ+μ−π− and π−→π+π−π−

In the diffraction dissociation of π^? into μ⁺μ^?π^? on a Cu nucleus at 50 GeV/c, the cross section \(\sigma _{\mu ^ + \mu ^ - \pi ^ - } \) for the 1⁺S(ρ⁰π) wave was measured. The branching ratio of ρ⁰→μ⁺μ^? could be calculated from the ratio of this and the corresponding cross sections in the diffraction dissociation of π^? into π⁺π^?π^?. The obtained value \(BR_{\rho ^0 \to \mu ^ + \mu ^ - } = (4.6 \pm 0.2_{stat^ \pm } \pm 0.2_{syst} )10^{ - 5} \) is in good agreement with the branching ratio \(BR_{\rho ^0 \to e^ + e^ - } \) , as expected ifeμ universality holds.     

Study of the decayf 1(1285)→ρ0(770)γ

The decayf ₁(1285)→ρ⁰(770)γ was studied at VES spectrometer of IHEP. Clear signal off ₁(1285) is seen in the effective mass spectrum of the π⁺π^?γ system in the reaction π^?γN→π⁺π^?π^?γN at the momentum $P_{\pi ^ - } = 37 GeV/c$ . The branching fraction of decayf ₁(1285)→ρ⁰(770)γ has been found to be $$BR(f_1 (1285) \to \rho ^0 (770)\gamma ) = (2.8 \pm 0.7(stat) \pm 0.6(syst)) \cdot 10^{ - 2} .$$ The ratio of the helicity amplitudes for ρ⁰ meson in its rest frame was determined by the analysis of angular distributions: $$\rho _{00} /\rho _{11} = 3.9 \pm 0.9(stat) \pm 1.0(syst).$$      

Measurement ofD meson production in 200 GeV π−-Be interactions

We have measured the differential and total cross sections ofD meson production in 200 GeV π^?-beryllium interactions, using a sample of 48 fully reconstructed and nearly background-freeD mesons in the decay channelsK ^?π^±,K ^?π^±π^± andK ^?π^?π^±π^±. A single electron trigger has been used to select events containing a pair of charmed particles. A vertex telescope of 6 silison microstrip detectors allowed the reconstruction of tracks of charged secondaries and the reconstruction of primary and decay vertices with high precision. The ratio of branching fractions for \(\mathop {D^0 }\limits^{( - )} \to K^ \mp \pi ^ \pm \) to \(\mathop {D^0 }\limits^{( - )} \to K^ \mp \pi ^ \mp \pi ^ \pm \pi ^ \pm \) , and an upper limit for \(D^0 - \bar D^0 \) mixing are presented.     

Experimental study of the inclusiveη-spectrum fromp \bar p annihilations at rest in liquid hydrogen

The inclusive η-momentum spectrum from \(\bar p\) annihilations at rest in liquid hydrogen was measured at LEAR. Branching ratios were obtained for $$\begin{gathered} p\bar p \to \eta \omega \left( {1.04_{ - 0.10}^{ + 0.09} } \right)\% ,\eta \rho ^0 \left( {0.53_{ - 0.08}^{ + 0.20} } \right)\% , \hfill \\ \pi a_2 \left( {8.49_{ - 1.10}^{ + 1.05} } \right)\% ,\eta \pi ^0 \left( {1.33 \pm 0.27} \right) \times 10^{ - 4} , \hfill \\ \end{gathered} $$ , and ηη(8.1±3.1)×10^?5. An upper limit for \(p\bar p \to \eta \eta '\) of 1.8×10^?4 at 95% CL was found. The ratio of the branching ratios is BR(η?)/BR(ηω)=0.51 _?0.06 ^+0.20 . For the ratio of branching ratios into two pseudoscalar mesons, we have BR(ηπ⁰)/BR(π⁰π⁰)=0.65±0.14, BR(ηη)/BR(π⁰π⁰), BR(η η ^′ )/BR(π⁰π⁰) at 95% CL, and BR(ηη)/BR(ηπ⁰).     

Faddeev Treatment of the Quasi-Bound and Scattering States in the {\bar{K}NN - \pi\Sigma N} System: New Results

A chiral-motivated \({\bar{K}N - \pi\Sigma - \pi\Lambda}\) potential was constructed and used in Faddeev calculations of different characteristics of \({\bar{K}NN - \pi\Sigma N}\) system. First of all, binding energy and width of the K ^? pp quasi-bound state were newly obtained. The low-energy K ^? d scattering amplitudes, including scattering length, together with the 1s level shift and width of kaonic deuterium were calculated. Comparison with the results obtained with the phenomenological \({\bar{K}N - \pi\Sigma}\) potential demonstrates that the chiral-motivated potential gives more shallow K ^? pp state, while the characteristics of K ^? d system are less sensitive to the form of \({\bar{K}N}\) interaction.     

Measurement of the masses and lifetimes of the charmed mesonsD 0,D + andD s +

We present the final results on the measurement of the masses and lifetimes of the mesonsD ⁰,D ⁺ andD _s ⁺ in the NA32 experiment at the CERN SPS, using silicon microstrip detectors and charge-coupled devices for vertex reconstruction. We measure the following lifetimes: \(\tau _{D^0 } = 3.88 \pm _{0.21}^{0.23} \cdot 10^{ - 13} s\) using a sample of 479D°→K ^?π⁺π^?π⁺ and 162D°→K ^?π⁺ decays; \(\tau _{D^ + } = 10.5 \pm _{0.72}^{0.77} \cdot 10^{ - 13} s\) with a sample of 317D ⁺→K ^?π⁺π⁺ decays; \(\tau _{D_s^ + } = 4.69 \pm _{0.86}^{1.02} \cdot 10^{ - 13} s\) with a sample of 54D _s ⁺ →K ⁺ K ^?π⁺ decays. We measure the following masses:m _D ⁰=1864.6±0.3±1.0 MeV,m _D ⁺=1870.0±0.5±1.0 MeV and \(m_{D_s^ + } \) =1967.0±1.0±1.0 MeV.     

Isospin mixing \bar{K}N\hbox{-}{\pi}{\Sigma} interaction and \bar{K}NN\hbox{-}{\pi} {\Sigma}N quasi-bound state

A phenomenological isospin-dependent $\bar{K}N\hbox{-}\pi\Sigma$ potential reproducing a medium KEK value of 1s kaonic hydrogen level shift instead of a K ^? p scattering length is constructed. The corresponding three-body $\bar{K}NN\hbox{-}\pi\Sigma N$ calculation using the obtained potential is performed.     

Radiative Σ± decays and search for neutral currents

The decay modesΣ ^±→nπ ^± γ, Σ ⁺→pγ,Σ ⁺ →pe ⁺ e ^}- were studied in the 81 cm Saclay hydrogen bubble chamber. In the radiative decayΣ ^±→nπ ^± γ only low momentum pions which stop in the chamber were accepted. We obtain the following branching ratios: (1) $$\frac{{\Gamma {\text{(}}\sum ^{\text{ + }} \to n\pi ^ + \gamma , p_{\pi + }^*< 110{\text{ MeV/c)}}}}{{\Gamma {\text{(}}\sum ^{\text{ + }} \to n\pi ^ + )}} = (2.7 \pm 0.5) \times 10^{ - 4} ,$$ (2) $$\frac{{\Gamma {\text{(}}\sum ^ - \to n\pi ^ - \gamma , p_{\pi - }^*< 110{\text{ MeV/c)}}}}{{\Gamma {\text{(}}\sum ^ - \to n\pi ^ - )}} = (1.0 \pm 0.2) \times 10^{ - 4} ,$$ (3) $$\frac{{\Gamma {\text{(}}\sum ^ + \to p\gamma {\text{)}}}}{{\Gamma {\text{(}}\sum ^ + \to p\pi ^0 )}} = (2.1 \pm 0.3) \times 10^{ - 3} ,$$ (4) $$\frac{{\Gamma {\text{(}}\sum ^ + \to pe^ + e^ - {\text{)}}}}{{\Gamma {\text{(}}\sum ^ + \to p\pi ^0 )}} = (1.5 \pm 0.9) \times 10^{ - 5} .$$ The radiative branching ratios (1) and (2) agree well with theoretical calculations and confirm very strongly the assignmentS wave toΣ ^? →nπ ^? andP wave toΣ ⁺→nπ ⁺ decay. The branching ratio (4) is based on 3 events with very low invariant masses of the electron-positron pair, being most probably radiative decays with internal conversion of theγ-ray. Combining (3) and (4) we obtain for the conversion coefficientρ: in agreement with predictions from electrodynamics.     

On the Quasi-linear Elliptic PDE {-\nabla \cdot ( \nabla{u}/ \sqrt{1-| \nabla{u} |^2}) = 4 \pi \sum_k a_k \delta_{s_k}} in Physics and Geometry

It is shown that for each finite number N of Dirac measures ${\delta_{s_n}}$ supported at points ${s_n \in {\mathbb R}^3}$ with given amplitudes ${a_n \in {\mathbb R} \backslash\{0\}}$ there exists a unique real-valued function ${u \in C^{0, 1}({\mathbb R}^3)}$ , vanishing at infinity, which distributionally solves the quasi-linear elliptic partial differential equation of divergence form ${-\nabla \cdot ( \nabla{u}/ \sqrt{1-| \nabla{u} |^2}) = 4 \pi \sum_{n=1}^N a_n \delta_{s_n}}$ . Moreover, ${u \in C^{\omega}({\mathbb R}^3\backslash \{s_n\}_{n=1}^N)}$ . The result can be interpreted in at least two ways: (a) for any number N of point charges of arbitrary magnitude and sign at prescribed locations s _n in three-dimensional Euclidean space there exists a unique electrostatic field which satisfies the Maxwell-Born-Infeld field equations smoothly away from the point charges and vanishes as |s| ?? ??; (b) for any number N of integral mean curvatures assigned to locations ${s_n \in {\mathbb R}^3 \subset{\mathbb R}^{1, 3}}$ there exists a unique asymptotically flat, almost everywhere space-like maximal slice with point defects of Minkowski spacetime ${{\mathbb R}^{1, 3}}$ , having lightcone singularities over the s _n but being smooth otherwise, and whose height function vanishes as |s| ?? ??. No struts between the point singularities ever occur.     

QCD calculation ofB \to \pi l\bar v_l and the matrix element |V bu|

Using QCD sum rules for a two-point function involving beauty vector currents, together with current algebra-PCAC sum rules, we estimate the hadronic matrix element in \(B \to \pi l\bar v_l \) . We find \(\Gamma \left( {\bar {\rm B}^0 \to \pi ^ + l\bar v_l } \right) = \left( {1.45 \pm 0.59} \right) \times 10^{13} \left| {V_{bu} } \right|^2 s^{ - 1} \) . As a byproduct, the vector current contribution to the decay \(B \to \rho l\bar v_l \) is also estimated.     

Effects of Final State Interactions in Pure Annihilation Decay of B^{0}_{s}\rightarrow\pi^{0}\pi^{0}

We investigate the effects of final state interactions (FSI) contributions in the nonleptonic two body $B^{0}_{s} \rightarrow \pi^{0}\pi^{0}$ decay. The short distance interaction amplitude is calculated by using the annihilation diagrams and a tiny branching ratio is obtained, then the long distance amplitude is considered and calculated within FSI effects. For contributions of FSI, the ρ ⁰ ρ ⁰, π ⁺ π ^?(ρ ⁺ ρ ^?), K ⁺ K ^?(K ^+? K ^??) and $K^{0}\bar{K}^{0}(K^{0*}\bar{K}^{0*})$ are produced for intermediate states, in this case the π ⁰, π ^?(ρ ^?), K ^?(?) and $\bar{K}^{0(*)}$ mesons are exchanged. The absorptive part of the diagrams is directly calculated and the dispersive part of the rescattering amplitude can be obtained from the absorptive part via the dispersion relation. The imaginary and real parts of the amplitudes are summed over all intermediate states. The predicted branching ratio of $B^{0}_{s} \rightarrow \pi^{0}\pi^{0}$ is 0.69×10^?8 in the absence of FSI effects and it becomes 1.86×10^?4 when FSI contributions are taken into account, while the experimental result is less than 2.1×10^?4.     

Large N approach to Kaon decays and mixing 28 years later: \Delta I=1/2 rule, \hat{B}_K,and \Delta M_K

We review and update our results for $K\rightarrow \pi \pi $ decays and $K^0$ – $\bar{K}^0$ mixing obtained by us in the 1980s within an analytic approximate approach based on the dual representation of QCD as a theory of weakly interacting mesons for large $N$ , where $N$ is the number of colors. In our analytic approach the Standard Model dynamics behind the enhancement of $\hbox {Re}A_0$ and suppression of $\hbox {Re}A_2$ , the so-called $\Delta I=1/2$ rule for $K\rightarrow \pi \pi $ decays, has a simple structure: the usual octet enhancement through the long but slow quark–gluon renormalization group evolution down to the scales $\mathcal{O}(1\, {\hbox { GeV}})$ is continued as a short but fast meson evolution down to zero 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. While this physical picture did not yet emerge from lattice simulations, the recent results on $\hbox {Re}A_2$ and $\hbox {Re}A_0$ from the RBC-UKQCD collaboration give support for its correctness. In particular, the signs of the two main contractions found numerically by these authors follow uniquely from our analytic approach. Though the current–current operators dominate the $\Delta I=1/2$ rule, working with matching scales $\mathcal{O}(1 \, {\hbox { GeV}})$ we find that the presence of QCD-penguin operator $Q_6$ is required to obtain satisfactory result for $\hbox {Re}A_0$ . At NLO in $1/N$ we obtain $R=\hbox {Re}A_0/\hbox {Re}A_2= 16.0\pm 1.5$ which amounts to an order of magnitude enhancement over the strict large $N$ limit value $\sqrt{2}$ . We also update our results for the parameter $\hat{B}_K$ , finding $\hat{B}_K=0.73\pm 0.02$ . The smallness of $1/N$ corrections to the large $N$ value $\hat{B}_K=3/4$ results within our approach from an approximate cancelation between pseudoscalar and vector meson one-loop contributions. We also summarize the status of $\Delta M_K$ in this approach.     

Characteristics of π−,\bar p,and antinuclei frompp collisions

An investigation of inclusivepp→π^?+? in terms of the covariant Boltzmann factor (BF) including the chemical potential μ indicates a) that the temperatureT increases less rapidly than expected from Stefan's law, b) that a scaling property holds for the fibreball velocity of π^? secondaries, leading to a multiplicity law like ～E _cm ^1/2 at high energy, and c) that μ_π is related to the quark mass: μ_π=2m _q ?m _π the quark massm _q determined by \(T_{\pi ^ - } \) at \(\bar pp\) threshold beingm _q =3T_π?330 MeV. Because ofthreshold effects \(T_{\bar p}< T_{\pi ^ - } \) , whereas \({{\mu _p } \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {{\mu _p } {\mu _{\pi ^ - } }}} \right. \kern-0em} {\mu _{\pi ^ - } }} \simeq {3 \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {3 2}} \right. \kern-0em} 2}\) as expected from the quark contents of \(\bar p\) and π. The antinuclei \(\bar d\) and \({{\bar t} \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {{\bar t} {\overline {He^3 } }}} \right. \kern-0em} {\overline {He^3 } }}\) observed inpp events are formed by coalescence of \(\bar p\) and \(\bar n\) produced in thepp collision. Semi-empirical formulae are proposed to estimate multiplicities of π^?, \(\bar p\) and antinuclei.     

Two-spin asymmetry in\mathop p\limits^{( - )} p reactions and spin-dependent parton distributions

The two-spin asymmetries \(A_{LL}^{\pi ^0 } (\mathop p\limits^{( - )} p)\) and \(A_{LL}^\gamma (\mathop p\limits^{( - )} p)\) are calculated in a new model incorporating the nonrelativistic quark model and the parton model which interprets well EMCg ₁ ^p (x) data. The model can reproduce the experimental data for inclusive π⁰ rather well.
