Nonfactorization and the decays Ds+→ϕπ+,ϕρ+D_s^+ \to \phi \pi^+, \phi \rho^+ and ϕl+νl\phi l^+ \nu_l

In six chosen scenarios for the $q^2$ dependence of the form factors involved in $D_s^+ \rightarrow \phi$ transition, we have determined the allowed domain of $x = A_2(0) / A_1(0)$ and $y = V(0)/A_1(0)$ from the experimentally measured ratios $R_{sl} = \Gamma(D_s^+ \rightarrow \phi l^+ \nu_l)/\Gamma(D_s^+ \rightarrow \phi \pi^+)$ and $R_h = \Gamma(D_s^+ \rightarrow \phi \rho^+)/\Gamma(D_s^+ \rightarrow \phi \pi^+)$ in a scheme that uses the $N_c =3$ value of the phenomenological parameter $a_1$ and includes nonfactorized contribution. We find that the experimentally measured values of $x$ and $y$ from semileptonic decays of $D_s^+$ favor solutions which have significant nonfactorized contribution, and, in particular, $R_{sl}$ favors solutions in scenarios where $A_1(q^2)$ is either flat or decreasing with $q^2$.Comment: 15 pages, Latex, four figure (available on request)

Nonfactorization and Color-Suppressed B→ψ(ψ(2S))+K(K∗)B \to \psi (\psi(2S))+K(K^*) Decays

Using $N_c=3$ value of the parameter $a_2=0.09$ but including a modest nonfactorized amplitude, we show that it is possible to understand all data, including polarization, for color-suppressed $B\to\psi(\psi(2S))+K(K^*)$ decays in all commonly used models of form factors. We show that for $B\to\psi +K$ decay one can define an effective $a_2$, which is process-dependent and, in general, complex; but it is not possible to define an effective $a_2$ for $B\to\psi +K^*$ decay. We also explain why nonfactorized amplitudes do not play a significant role in color-favored B decays.Comment: 13 pages, Latex, one figure (not included

Exclusive processes in electron - ion collisions

The exclusive processes in electron-ion ($eA$) interactions are an important tool to investigate the QCD dynamics at high energies as they are in general driven by the gluon content of the target, which is strongly subject to parton saturation effects. In this paper we compute the cross sections for the exclusive vector meson production as well as the deeply virtual Compton scattering (DVCS) relying on the color dipole approach and considering the numerical solution of the Balitsky-Kovchegov equation including running coupling corrections (rcBK). The production cross sections obtained with the rcBK solution and bCGC parametrization are very similar, the former being slightly larger.Comment: 6 pages, 4 figure

Probing the Color Glass Condensate in an electron-ion collider

Perturbative Quantum Chromodynamics (pQCD) predicts that the small-$x$ gluons in a hadron wavefunction should form a Color Glass Condensate (CGC), characterized by a saturation scale $Q_s (x, A)$ which is energy and atomic number dependent. In this paper we study the predictions of CGC physics for electron - ion collisions at high energies. We consider that the nucleus at high energies acts as an amplifier of the physics of high parton densities and estimate the nuclear structure function $F_2^A(x,Q^2)$, as well as the longitudinal and charm contributions, using a generalization for nuclear targets of the Iancu-Itakura-Munier model which describes the $ep$ HERA data quite well. Moreover, we investigate the behavior of the logarithmic slopes of the total and longitudinal structure functions in the kinematical region of the future electron - ion collider eRHIC.Comment: 18 pages, 9 figures.

Long Distance Contribution to s→dγs \to d\gamma and Implications for Ω−→Ξ−γ,Bs→Bd∗γ\Omega^-\to \Xi ^-\gamma, B_s \to B_d^*\gamma and b→sγb \to s\gamma

We estimate the long distance (LD) contribution to the magnetic part of the $s \to d\gamma$ transition using the Vector Meson Dominance approximation $(V=\rho,\omega,\psi_i)$. We find that this contribution may be significantly larger than the short distance (SD) contribution to $s \to d\gamma$ and could possibly saturate the present experimental upper bound on the $\Omega^-\to \Xi^-\gamma$ decay rate, $\Gamma^{\rm MAX}_{\Omega^-\to \Xi^-\gamma} \simeq 3.7\times10^{-9}$eV. For the decay $B_s \to B^*_d\gamma$, which is driven by $s \to d\gamma$ as well, we obtain an upper bound on the branching ratio $BR(B_s \to B_d^*\gamma)<3\times10^{-8}$ from $\Gamma^{\rm MAX}_{\Omega^-\to \Xi^-\gamma}$. Barring the possibility that the Quantum Chromodynamics coefficient $a_2(m_s)$ be much smaller than 1, $\Gamma^{\rm MAX}_{\Omega^-\to \Xi^-\gamma}$ also implies the approximate relation $\frac{2}{3} \sum_i \frac{g^2_{\psi_i}(0)}{m^2_{\psi_i}} \simeq \frac{1}{2} \frac{g^2_\rho(0)}{m^2_\rho} + \frac{1}{6}\frac{g^2_\omega(0)}{m^2_\omega}$. This relation agrees quantitatively with a recent independent estimate of the l.h.s. by Deshpande et al., confirming that the LD contributions to $b \to s\gamma$ are small. We find that these amount to an increase of $(4\pm2)\%$ in the magnitude of the $b \to s \gamma$ transition amplitude, relative to the SD contribution alone.Comment: 16 pages, LaTeX fil

Standard Model CP violation in Polarised b->d l^+ l^-

In the standard model, we study CP violating rate asymmetries in the decay b->d l^+ l^- when one of the leptons is polarised. We find an asymmetry of (5 -- 15)% in the polarised decay spectrum which is comparable to known results for the unpolarised case. In the kinematic region separating the rho-omega and $c \bar c$ resonances, which is also theoretically cleanest, the polarised contribution to the asymmetry is larger than the unpolarised results. In order to observe a 3 sigma signal for direct CP violation in the polarised spectrum, assuming 100% efficiency, about 10^10 $B \bar B$ pairs are required at a B factory. Our results indicate an asymmetric contribution from the individual polarisation states to the unpolarised CP asymmetry. Taking advantage of this, one can attribute any new physics to be most sensitive to a specific polarisation state.Comment: 23 pages, one reference adde

The lifetime of B_c-meson and some relevant problems

The lifetime of the B_c-meson is estimated with consistent considerations on all of the heavy mesons ($B^0, B^\pm, B_s, D^0, D^\pm D_s$) and the double heavy meson B_c. In the estimate, the framework, where the non-spectator effects for nonleptonic decays are taken into account properly, is adopted, and the parameters needed to be fixed are treated carefully and determined by fitting the available data. The bound-state effects in it are also considered. We find that in decays of the meson B_c, the QCD correction terms of the penguin diagrams and the main component terms c_1O_1, c_2O_2 of the effective interaction Lagrangian have direct interference that causes an enhancement about 3 ~ 4% in the total width of the B_c meson.Comment: 27 pages, 0 figur

Effective Lagrangian for sˉbg\bar{s}bg and sˉbγ\bar{s}b\gamma Vertices in the mSUGRA model

Complete expressions of the $\bar{s}bg$ and $\bar{s}b\gamma$ vertices are derived in the framework of supersymmetry with minimal flavor violation. With the minimal supergravity (mSUGRA) model, a numerical analysis of the supersymmetric contributions to the Wilson Coefficients at the weak scale is presented.Comment: 12 pages + 7 ps figures, Late

Nuclear shadowing in Glauber-Gribov theory with Q2-evolution

We consider deep inelastic scattering off nuclei in the Regge limit within the Glauber-Gribov model. Using unitarized parton distribution functions for the proton, we find sizeable shadowing effects on the nuclear total and longitudinal structure functions, $F_2^A$ and $F_L^A$, in the low-x limit. Extending a fan-diagram analysis for the large-mass region of coherent diffraction off nuclei to high Q2, we also find significant shadowing effects in this kinematical regime. Finally, we discuss shortcomings of our approach and possible extensions of the model to other kinematical regimes.Comment: 16 pages, 9 figure
