Entropy Functions with 5D Chern-Simons terms
In this note we reconsider Sen's entropy function analysis for 5D
supergravity actions containing Chern-Simons terms. The apparent lack of gauge
invariance is usually tackled via a 4D reduction. Here we motivate how a
systematic 5D procedure also works. In doing so, it becomes important to
identify the correct 5D charges. In particular, we perform explicit
calculations for the black ring and 5D black hole. In the black ring analysis,
we find Chern-Simons induced spectral flow shifts emerging out of Sen's
formalism. We find that the entropy function nevertheless remains gauge
invariant and the resulting electric charges are identified as Page charges.
For the black hole too, 5D gauge invariance is confirmed. Our 5D analysis
enables us to fix a mismatch that arose in the electric charges of Goldstein
and Jena's 4D-reduced calculation. Finally we provide an interpretation for the
e^0 - p^0 exchange in the entropy function as an interpolation between black
hole and black ring geometries in Taub-NUT.Comment: 27 page
Self-organized current transport through low angle grain boundaries in YBaCuO thin films, studied magnetometrically
The critical current density flowing across low angle grain boundaries in
YBaCuO thin films has been studied magnetometrically.
Films (200 nm thickness) were deposited on SrTiO bicrystal substrates
containing a single [001] tilt boundary, with angles of 2, 3, 5, and 7 degrees,
and the films were patterned into rings. Their magnetic moments were measured
in applied magnetic fields up to 30 kOe at temperatures of 5 - 95 K; current
densities of rings with or without grain boundaries were obtained from a
modified critical state model. For rings containing 5 and 7 degree boundaries,
the magnetic response depends strongly on the field history, which arises in
large part from self-field effects acting on the grain boundary.Comment: 8 pages, including 7 figure
Near the horizon of 5D black rings
For the five dimensional N=2 black rings, we study the supersymmetry
enhancement and identify the global supergroup of the near horizon geometry. We
show that the global part of the supergroup is OSp(4*|2)X U(1) which is similar
to the small black string. We show that results obtained by applying the
entropy function formalism, the c-extremization approach and the Brown-Henneaux
method to the black ring solution are in agreement with the microscopic entropy
calculation.Comment: 26 pages, version to appear in JHEP, the near horizon superalgebra is

Rare Decays of \Lambda_b->\Lambda + \gamma and \Lambda_b ->\Lambda + l^{+} l^{-} in the Light-cone Sum Rules
Within the Standard Model, we investigate the weak decays of and with the light-cone
sum rules approach. The higher twist distribution amplitudes of
baryon to the leading conformal spin are included in the sum rules for
transition form factors. Our results indicate that the higher twist
distribution amplitudes almost have no influences on the transition form
factors retaining the heavy quark spin symmetry, while such corrections can
result in significant impacts on the form factors breaking the heavy quark spin
symmetry. Two phenomenological models (COZ and FZOZ) for the wave function of
baryon are also employed in the sum rules for a comparison, which can
give rise to the form factors approximately 5 times larger than that in terms
of conformal expansion. Utilizing the form factors calculated in LCSR, we then
perform a careful study on the decay rate, polarization asymmetry and
forward-backward asymmetry, with respect to the decays of , .Comment: 38 pages, 15 figures, some typos are corrected and more references

Based on events collected by BESII, the decay
