Tau Polarization in and
We discuss the longitudinal and transverse -polarization in inclusive
decays of hadrons containing -quarks. The calculation is performed by means
of an OPE in HQET. Some mathematical difficulties in calculating transverse
polarizations are explained. Numerical results are presented for longitudinal
and for transverse polarizations, both in and perpendicular to the decay plane.Comment: LATEX, 20 pages, 5 Postscript figure
A heavy quark effective field lagrangian keeping particle and antiparticle mixed sectors
We derive a tree-level heavy quark effective Lagrangian keeping
particle-antiparticle mixed sectors allowing for heavy quark-antiquark pair
annihilation and creation. However, when removing the unwanted degrees of
freedom from the effective Lagrangian one has to be careful in using the
classical equations of motion obeyed by the effective fields in order to get a
convergent expansion on the reciprocal of the heavy quark mass. Then the
application of the effective theory to such hard processes should be sensible
for special kinematic regimes as for example heavy quark pair production near
threshold.Comment: LaTeX, 14 pages, 1 EPS figure
Stochastic dynamics and control of a driven nonlinear spin chain: the role of Arnold diffusion
We study a chain of non-linear, interacting spins driven by a static and a
time-dependent magnetic field. The aim is to identify the conditions for the
locally and temporally controlled spin switching. Analytical and full numerical
calculations show the possibility of stochastic control if the underlying
semi-classical dynamics is chaotic. This is achievable by tuning the external
field parameters according to the method described in this paper. We show
analytically for a finite spin chain that Arnold diffusion is the underlying
mechanism for the present stochastic control. Quantum mechanically we consider
the regime where the classical dynamics is regular or chaotic. For the latter
we utilize the random matrix theory. The efficiency and the stability of the
non-equilibrium quantum spin-states are quantified by the time-dependence of
the Bargmann angle related to the geometric phases of the states.Comment: Journal-ref: to appear in J.Phys.
The Promising Process to Distinguish Supersymmetric Models with Large tan from the Standard Model:
It is shown that in supersymmetric models (SUSYMs) the large supersymmetric
contributions to come from the Feynman diagrams
which consist of exchanging neutral Higgs bosons (NHBs) and the chargino-stop
loop and are proportional to tan when tan
is large and the mass of the lightest neutral Higgs boson m is not too
large (say, less than 150 Gev). Numerical results show that the branching
ratios of can be enhanced by more than 100%
compared to the standard model (SM) and the backward-forward asymmetry of
lepton is significantly different from that in SM when tan.Comment: 8 pages, including 2 figure
The OSCAR-IB Consensus Criteria for Retinal OCT Quality Assessment
Retinal optical coherence tomography (OCT) is an imaging biomarker for neurodegeneration in multiple sclerosis (MS). In order to become validated as an outcome measure in multicenter studies, reliable quality control (QC) criteria with high inter-rater agreement are required
The HQET/NRQCD Lagrangian to order alpha/m^3
The HQET/NRQCD Lagrangian is computed to order alpha/m^3. The computation is
performed using dimensional regularization to regulate the ultraviolet and
infrared divergences. The results are consistent with reparametrization
invariance to order 1/m^3. Some subtleties in the matching conditions for NRQCD
are discussed.Comment: Two terms added to Lagrangian. Explicit value of G^3 coefficient

Heavy quark supermultiplet excitations

Heavy Meson Decays into Light Resonances
We analyse the Lorentz structures of weak decay matrix elements bewteen meson
states of arbitrary spin. Simplifications arise in the transition amplitudes
for a heavy meson decaying into a light one via a Bethe-Salpeter approach which
incorporates heavy quark symmetry. Phenomenological consequences on several
semileptonic, nonleptonic and FCNC induced decays of heavy flavoured mesons are
derived and discussed.Comment: 20 RevTex pages, Preprint # UTAS-PHYS-94-0
Application of heavy-quark effective theory to lattice QCD: I. Power Corrections
Heavy-quark effective theory (HQET) is applied to lattice QCD with Wilson
fermions at fixed lattice spacing a. This description is possible because
heavy-quark symmetries are respected. It is desirable because the ultraviolet
cutoff in current numerical work and the heavy-quark mass are
comparable. Effects of both short distances, a and , are captured fully
into coefficient functions, which multiply the operators of the usual HQET.
Standard tools of HQET are used to develop heavy-quark expansions of lattice
observables and, thus, to propagate heavy-quark discretization errors. Three
explicit examples are given: namely, the mass, decay constant, and semileptonic
form factors of heavy-light mesons.Comment: 41 pp., no figs; Phys Rev D version, improving argument that an HQET
