Heavy Quark Fragmentation into Baryons in a Quark-Diquark Model

In the framework of the nonrelativistic QCD and a quark-diquark model of baryons we have obtained the fragmentation functions for heavy quark to split into spin-1/2 and spin-3/2 double heavy baryons. It was predicted the production rates as well as the shape of the energy spectra for the $cc-$ and $bc-$baryons in the region of $Z^o$ peak at LEP collider.Comment: LaTeX, 9 pages, 2 figure

Lanthanum-Gallium Tantalate Crystals and their Electrophysical Characterization

Lanthanum-gallium tantalate single crystal (La3Ta0.5Ga5.5O14, langatate, LGT) is a perspective piezoe-lectric material as an active component of pressure sensors. An investigation of the growth conditions in-fluence (the growth atmosphere) on the electrophysical сharacterization of LGT, obtained in different at-mospheres (Ar, Ar + O2) was carried out. The frequency dependences of the relative dielectric constant (ε11/ε0) and of the admittance depend on the growth atmosphere. The langatate electrophysical сharacteri-zation in alternating electric fields were analyzed by means of the impedance spectr oscopy method. The behavior of short circuit currents in specimens of polar cuts of LGT single crystals with the same material electrodes without preliminary polarization is described.

Mass spectra of doubly heavy Omega_QQ' baryons

We evaluate the masses of baryons composed of two heavy quarks and a strange quark with account for spin-dependent splittings in the framework of potential model with the KKO potential motivated by QCD with a three-loop beta-function for the effective charge consistent with both the perturbative limit at short distances and linear confinement term at long distances between the quarks. The factorization of dynamics is supposed and explored in the nonrelativistic Schroedinger equation for the motion in the system of two heavy quarks constituting the doubly heavy diquark and the strange quark interaction with the diquark. The limits of approach, its justification and uncertainties are discussed. Excited quasistable states are classified by the quantum numbers of heavy diquark composed by the heavy quarks of the same flavor.Comment: 14 pages, revtex4-file, 3 eps-figures, 5 tables, typos correcte

Ground-state triply and doubly heavy baryons in a relativistic three-quark model

Mass spectra of the ground-state baryons consisting of three or two heavy (b or c) and one light (u,d,s) quarks are calculated in the framework of the relativistic quark model and the hyperspherical expansion. The predictions of masses of the triply and doubly heavy baryons are obtained by employing the perturbation theory for the spin-independent and spin-dependent parts of the three-quark Hamiltonian.Comment: 10 pages, 2 figures, LaTe

Explicit asymptotic modelling of transient Love waves propagated along a thin coating

The official published version can be obtained from the link below.An explicit asymptotic model for transient Love waves is derived from the exact equations of anti-plane elasticity. The perturbation procedure relies upon the slow decay of low-frequency Love waves to approximate the displacement field in the substrate by a power series in the depth coordinate. When appropriate decay conditions are imposed on the series, one obtains a model equation governing the displacement at the interface between the coating and the substrate. Unusually, the model equation contains a term with a pseudo-differential operator. This result is confirmed and interpreted by analysing the exact solution obtained by integral transforms. The performance of the derived model is illustrated by numerical examples.This work is sponsored by the grant from Higher Education of Pakistan and by the Brunel University’s “BRIEF” research award

High statistic measurement of the K- -> pi0 e- nu decay form-factors

The decay K- -> pi0 e- nu is studied using in-flight decays detected with the ISTRA+ spectrometer. About 920K events are collected for the analysis. The lambda+ slope parameter of the decay form-factor f+(t) in the linear approximation (average slope) is measured: lambda+(lin)= 0.02774 +- 0.00047(stat) +- 0.00032(syst). The quadratic contribution to the form-factor was estimated to be lambda'+ = 0.00084 +- 0.00027(stat) +- 0.00031(syst). The linear slope, which has a meaning of df+(t)/dt|_{t=0} for this fit, is lambda+ = 0.02324 +- 0.00152(stat) +- 0.00032(syst). The limits on possible tensor and scalar couplings are derived: f_{T}/f_{+}(0)=-0.012 +- 0.021(stat) +- 0.011$(syst), f_{S}/f_{+}(0)=-0.0037^{+0.0066}_{-0.0056}(stat) +- 0.0041(syst).Comment: 11 pages, 8 figures.

Weak decays of the B_c meson to charmonium and D mesons in the relativistic quark model

Semileptonic and nonleptonic decays of the B_c meson to charmonium and D mesons are studied in the framework of the relativistic quark model. The decay form factors are explicitly expressed through the overlap integrals of the meson wave functions in the whole accessible kinematical range. The relativistic meson wave functions are used for the calculation of the decay rates. The obtained results are compared with the predictions of other approaches.Comment: 27 pages, 17 figures, 1 figure and 1 reference added, version to appear in Phys. Rev.

Analysis of the doubly heavy baryons in the nuclear matter with the QCD sum rules

In this article, we study the doubly heavy baryon states $\Xi_{cc}$, $\Omega_{cc}$, $\Xi_{bb}$ and $\Omega_{bb}$ in the nuclear matter using the QCD sum rules, and derive three coupled QCD sum rules for the masses, vector self-energies and pole residues. The predictions for the mass-shifts in the nuclear matter $\Delta M_{\Xi_{cc}}=-1.11\,\rm{GeV}$, $\Delta M_{\Omega_{cc}}=-0.33\,\rm{GeV}$, $\Delta M_{\Xi_{bb}}=-3.37\,\rm{GeV}$ and $\Delta M_{\Omega_{bb}}=-1.05\,\rm{GeV}$ can be confronted with the experimental data in the future.Comment: 10 pages, 4 figure

High Precision Mass Measurements in Ψ\Psi and Υ\Upsilon Families Revisited

High precision mass measurements in $\Psi$ and $\Upsilon$ families performed in 1980-1984 at the VEPP-4 collider with OLYA and MD-1 detectors are revisited. The corrections for the new value of the electron mass are presented. The effect of the updated radiative corrections has been calculated for the $J/\Psi(1S)$ and $\Psi(2S)$ mass measurements.Comment: 5 pages, 1 table, submitted to Phys. Lett.

Effect of the Surface on the Electron Quantum Size Levels and Electron g-Factor in Spherical Semiconductor Nanocrystals

The structure of the electron quantum size levels in spherical nanocrystals is studied in the framework of an eight--band effective mass model at zero and weak magnetic fields. The effect of the nanocrystal surface is modeled through the boundary condition imposed on the envelope wave function at the surface. We show that the spin--orbit splitting of the valence band leads to the surface--induced spin--orbit splitting of the excited conduction band states and to the additional surface--induced magnetic moment for electrons in bare nanocrystals. This additional magnetic moment manifests itself in a nonzero surface contribution to the linear Zeeman splitting of all quantum size energy levels including the ground 1S electron state. The fitting of the size dependence of the ground state electron g factor in CdSe nanocrystals has allowed us to determine the appropriate surface parameter of the boundary conditions. The structure of the excited electron states is considered in the limits of weak and strong magnetic fields.Comment: 11 pages, 4 figures, submitted to Phys. Rev.
