Charmless Two-body decays In Soft-Collinear-Effective-Theory
We provide the analysis of charmless two-body decays under the
framework of the soft-collinear-effective-theory (SCET), where denotes a
light vector (pseudoscalar) meson. Besides the leading power contributions,
some power corrections (chiraly enhanced penguins) are also taken into account.
Using the current available and experimental data on
branching fractions and CP asymmetry variables, we find two kinds of solutions
in fit for the 16 non-perturbative inputs which are essential in the
87 and decay channels. Chiraly enhanced penguins can change
several charming penguins sizably, since they share the same topology. However,
most of the other non-perturbative inputs and predictions on branching ratios
and CP asymmetries are not changed too much. With the two sets of inputs, we
predict the branching fractions and CP asymmetries of other modes especially
decays. The agreements and differences with results in QCD
factorization and perturbative QCD approach are analyzed. We also study the
time-dependent CP asymmetries in channels with CP eigenstates in the final
states and some other channels such as and
. In the perturbative QCD approach, the
penguins in annihilation diagrams play an important role. Although
they have the same topology with charming penguins in SCET, there are many
differences between the two objects in weak phases, magnitudes, strong phases
and factorization properties.Comment: 34 pages, revtex, 2 figures, published at PR
Biomechanical analysis of the acetabular buttress-plate: are complex acetabular fractures in the quadrilateral area stable after treatment with anterior construct plate-1/3 tube buttress plate fixation?
OBJECTIVE: The acetabular buttress-plate has been widely used in treating difficult cases with satisfying clinical results. However, the biomechanical properties of a postoperative acetabular fracture fixed by the buttress-plate are not clear. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the biomechanical properties of stability after the anterior tube buttress-plate fixation of complex acetabular fractures in the quadrilateral area. METHODS: A construct was proposed based on anterior construct plate - 1/3 tube buttress plate fixation for acetabular both-column fractures. Two groups of six formalin-preserved cadaveric pelvises were analyzed: (1) group A, the normal pelvis and (2) group B, anterior construct plate-1/3 tube buttress plate with quadrilateral area fixation. The displacements were measured, and cyclical loads were applied in both standing and sitting simulations. RESULTS: As the load was added, the displacements were
Phenomenological study on the significance of the scalar potential and Lamb shift
We indicated in our previous work that for QED the contributions of the
scalar potential which appears at the loop level is much smaller than that of
the vector potential and in fact negligible. But the situation may be different
for QCD, one reason is that the loop effects are more significant because
is much larger than , and secondly the non-perturbative QCD
effects may induce the scalar potential. In this work, we phenomenologically
study the contribution of the scalar potential to the spectra of charmonia.
Taking into account both vector and scalar potentials, by fitting the well
measured charmonia spectra, we re-fix the relevant parameters and test them by
calculating other states of the charmonia family. We also consider the role of
the Lamb shift and present the numerical results with and without involving the
Lamb shift
Controlling the reactivity of the [P8W48O184]40– inorganic ring and its assembly into POMZite inorganic frameworks with silver ions
The construction of pure‐inorganic framework materials with well‐defined design rules and building blocks is challenging. In this work, we show how a polyoxometalate cluster with an integrated pore, based on the [P 8 W 48 O 184 ] 40– (abbreviated as {P 8 W 48 }), can be self‐assembled into an inorganic framework using silver ions which both enable reactions on the cluster, as well as links them together. The {P 8 W 48 } was found to be highly reactive with silver ions resulting in the in‐situ generation of fragments, forming {P 9 W 63 O 235 } and {P 10 W 66 O 251 } in compound ( 1 ) where these two clusters co‐crystallize and are connected into a POMZite framework with 11 Ag + ions as linkers located inside clusters and 10 Ag + linking ions situated between clusters. Decreasing both the concentration of Ag + ions, and the reaction temperature compared to the synthesis of compound ( 1 ), leads to {P 8 W 51 O 196 } in compound 2 where the {P 8 W 48 } clusters are linked to form a new POMZite framework with 9 Ag + ions per formula unit. Further tuning of the reaction conditions yields a cubic porous network compound ( 3 ) where {P 8 W 48 } clusters as cubic sides are joined by 4 Ag + ions to give a cubic array and no Ag + ions were found inside the clusters
Phenomenological Scaling of Rapidity Dependence for Anisotropic Flows in 25 MeV/nucleon Ca + Ca by Quantum Molecular Dynamics Model
Anisotropic flows (, , and ) of light fragments up till
the mass number 4 as a function of rapidity have been studied for 25
MeV/nucleon Ca + Ca at large impact parameters by Quantum
Molecular Dynamics model. A phenomenological scaling behavior of rapidity
dependent flow parameters (n = 1, 2, 3 and 4) has been found as a
function of mass number plus a constant term, which may arise from the
interplay of collective and random motions. In addition, keeps
almost independent of rapidity and remains a rough constant of 1/2 for all
light fragments.Comment: 4 pages, 5 figure
Isospin dependence of projectile-like fragment production at intermediate energies
The cross sections of fragments produced in 140 MeV Ca + Be
and Ni + Be reactions are calculated by the statistical
abration-ablation(SAA) model and compared to the experimental results measured
at the National Superconducting Cyclotron Laboratory (NSCL) at Michigan State
University. The fragment isotopic and isotonic cross section distributions of
Ca and Ca, Ni and Ni, Ca and Ni, and
Ca and Ni are compared and the isospin dependence of the
projectile fragmentation is studied. It is found that the isospin dependence
decreases and disappears in the central collisions. The shapes of the fragment
isotopic and isotonic cross section distributions are found to be very similar
for symmetric projectile nuclei. The shapes of the fragment isotopic and
isotonic distributions of different asymmetric projectiles produced in
peripheral reactions are found very similar. The similarity of the
distributions are related to the similar proton and neutron density
distributions inside the nucleus in framework of the SAA model.Comment: 7 pages, 4 figures; to be published in Phys Rev
Deviation analysis of rotational inertia measurement based on torsion bar method
The test of moment of inertia has a wide range of applications in aerospace, vehicle engineering, precision machinery, motors and other fields, moment of inertia directly affects the reliability and performance of components or equipment, it is very essential to test the moment of inertia. By analyzing the principle of moment of inertia test, we could come to the conclusion that the theoretical value, the inertia of the disk, the period of the torsion swing of the standard body and the period of the empty disk of the moment of inertia and the moment of inertia of the standard body. By analyzing the measurement error, position error and damping during the test, we could reach the following conclusion that the test accuracy of the moment of inertia can reach 0.1 %
Noether Symmetry Approach in multiple scalar fields Scenario
In this Letter, we find suitable potentials in the multiple scalar fields
scenario by using the Noether symmetry approach. We discussed three models with
multiple scalar fields: N-quintessence with positive kinetic terms, N-phantom
with negative kinetic terms and N-quintom with both positive and negative
kinetic terms. In the N-quintessence case, the exponential potential which
could be derived from several theoretic models is obtained from the Noether
conditions. In the N-phantom case, the potential
, which could
be derived from the Pseudo Nambu-Goldstone boson model, is chosen as the
Noether conditions required. In the N-quintom case, we derive a relation
between the potential forms for the
quintessence-like fields and the phantom-like fields by using the Noether
symmetry.Comment: 22 pages, 3 figure
Does Unruh radiation accelerate the universe? A novel approach to the cosmic acceleration
We present a novel mechanism for the present acceleration of the universe. We
find that the temperature of the Unruh radiation perceived by the brane is not
equal to the inherent temperature (Hawking temperature at the apparent horizon)
of the brane universe in the frame of Dvali-Gabadadze-Porrati (DGP) braneworld
model. The Unruh radiation perceived by a dust dominated brane is always warmer
than the brane measured by the geometric temperature, which naturally induces
an energy flow between bulk and brane based on the most sound thermodynamics
principles. Through a thorough investigation to the microscopic mechanism of
interaction between bulk Unruh radiation and brane matter, we put forward that
an energy influx from bulk Unruh radiation to the dust matter on the brane
accelerates the universe.Comment: 28 pages, 4 figs, to appear in NPB; This is a joint paper of
