Meson-Baryon Couplings and the F/D ratio in Light Cone QCD

Using the general form of the baryon currents, we calculate the meson-baryon coupling constants and the F/D ratio within the framework of light cone QCD sum rules in the SU(3) flavor symmetry limit. The dependence of the results on the Dirac structure and on the free parameter b appearing in the general baryon current is considered. Comparison of our results on F/D ratio with the existing results is presented

Pseudoscalar--meson decuplet--baryon coupling constants in light cone QCD

Taking into account the $SU(3)_f$ breaking effects, the strong coupling constants of the $\pi$, $K$ and $\eta$ mesons with decuplet baryons are calculated within light cone QCD sum rules method. It is shown that all coupling constants, even in the case of $SU(3)_f$ breaking, are described in terms of only one universal function. It is shown that for $\Xi^{\ast 0} \to \Xi^{\ast 0} \eta$ transition violation of $SU(3)_f$ symmetry is very large and for other channels when $SU(3)_f$ symmetry is violated, its maximum value constitutes $10$.Comment: 17 Pages, one Figure and 3 Table

Two Higgs Doublet Model and Lepton Polarization in the B -> K tau+ tau- Decay

The decay width, forward-backward asymmetry and tau lepton longitudinal and transversal polarization for the exclusive (B -> K tau^+ tau^-) decay in a two Higgs doublet model are computed. It is shown that the forward-backward asymmetry and longitudinal polarization of the tau lepton are very effective tools for establishing new physics.Comment: 25 pages, 20 figures, LaTeX formatte

General analysis of time evolution of decay spectrum in B^0 -> pi^+ pi^- l^+ l^-

Using the general, model independent form of effective Hamiltonian, the decay spectrum of B^0 -> pi^+ pi^- l^+ l^- decay is studied. The sensitivity of experimentally measurable asymmetries to the new Wilson coefficients and time is studied. It is observed that different asymmetries are sensitive to the new Wilson coefficients and they can serve as an efficient tool for establishing new physics beyond SM.Comment: 15 pp, 4 figures (postscript formatted), LaTex formatte

Magnetic and quadrupole moments of light spin-1 mesons in light cone QCD sum rules

Exclusive B -> K^* l^+ l^- decay with polarized K^* and new physics effects

Using the most general, model independent effective Hamiltonian, the branching ratio of the (B -> K^* l^+ l^-) decay, when K^* meson is longitudinally or transversally polarized, is presented. The dependence of the branching ratio on the new Wilson coefficients, when K^* meson is polarized, is studied. It is observed that the branching ratio is very sensitive to the vector and tensor type interactions, which will be useful in search of new physics beyond the Standard Model.Comment: 13 pp, 6 figures (postscript formatted), LaTex formatte

T violation in (Lambda_b -> Lambda l^+ l^-) decay beyond standard model

Using the most general, model independent form of effective Hamiltonian, the transverse polarization P_T of Lambda in Lambda_b -> Lambda l^+ l^- decay is studied. It is observed that the averaged is very sensitive to the existence of new physics and can attain large values, which can be measured at future colliders.Comment: 12 pages, 7 figures, LaTeX formatte

Fourth generation effects in rare exclusive B -> K^* l^+ l^- decay

Influence of the fourth generation, if ever exists, on the experimentally measurable quantities such as invariant dilepton mass distribution, lepton forward-backward asymmetry, and the ratio (Gamma_L/Gamma_T) of the decay widths when K* meson is longitudinally and transversally polarized, is studied. Using the experimental results on the branching ratios for the (B -> X_s) gamma and semileptonic (B -> X_c l nu) decays, the two possible solutions of the 4x4 Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa factor (V_{t's} V_{t^'b}) are obtained as a function of the t'-quark mass. It is observed that the results for the above-mentioned physical quantities are essentially different from the standard model predictions only for one solution of the CKM factor. In this case the above-mentioned physical quantities can serve as efficient tools in search of the fourth generation. The other solution yields almost identical results with the SM.Comment: 19 pages, 10 postscripted figures, LaTeX formatte

Using the most general form of the interpolating currents of heavy baryons, the magnetic moments of heavy baryons "Lambda_Q (Q=b,c)" are calculated in framework of the light cone QCD sum rules. A comparison of our results on magnetic moments with the existing theoretical results calculated in various other frameworks are presented.Comment: 14 pp, 6 figures (postscript formatted), LaTex formatte
