DVCS amplitude in the parton model
We compute amplitude of deeply virtual Compton scattering in the parton
model. We found that the amplitude up to the accuracy O(1/Q) depends on new
skewed parton distributions (SPD's). These additional contributions make the
DVCS amplitude explicitly transverse.Comment: New spin sum rules for twist-3 SPD's are added. Discussion of 1/Q
behaviour of twist-3 contributions is correcte
A detailed QCD analysis of twist-3 effects in DVCS observables
In this paper I present a detailed QCD analysis of twist-3 effects in the
Wandzura-Wilczek (WW) approximation in deeply virtual Compton scattering (DVCS)
observables for various kinematical settings, representing the HERA, HERMES,
CLAS and the planned EIC (electron-ion-collider) experiments. I find that the
twist-3 effects in the WW approximation are almost always negligible at
collider energies but can be large for low Q^2 and smaller x_bj in observables
for the lower energy, fixed target experiments directly sensitive to the real
part of DVCS amplitudes like the charge asymmetry (CA). Conclusions are then
drawn about the reliability of extracting twist-2 generalized parton
distributions (GPDs) from experimental data and a first, phenomenological,
parameterization of the LO and NLO twist-2 GPD , describing all the
currently available DVCS data within the experimental errors is given.Comment: 18 pages, 21 figures, uses Revtex4, final version to be published in

Sum rules and dualities for generalized parton distributions: is there a holographic principle?
To leading order approximation, the physical content of generalized parton
distributions (GPDs) that is accessible in deep virtual electroproduction of
photons or mesons is contained in their value on the cross-over trajectory.
This trajectory separates the t-channel and s-channel dominated GPD regions.
The underlying Lorentz covariance implies correspondence between these two
regions through their relation to GPDs on the cross-over trajectory. This point
of view leads to a family of GPD sum rules which are a quark analogue of finite
energy sum rules and it guides us to a new phenomenological GPD concept. As an
example, we discuss the constraints from the JLab/Hall A data on the dominant
u-quark GPD H. The question arises whether GPDs are governed by some kind of
holographic principle.Comment: 45 pages, 4 figures, Sect. 2 reorganized for clarity. Typos in Eq.

Generalised parton distributions at small x
We justify the practical use of the Shuvaev integral transform approach to
calculate the skewed distributions, needed to describe diffractive processes,
directly from the conventional diagonal global parton distributions. We address
doubts which have been raised about this procedure. We emphasise that the
approach, on the one hand, satisfies all theoretical reqirements, and, on the
other hand, is consistent with DVCS data at NLO. We construct an easily
accessible package for the computation of these skewed distributions.Comment: 21 pages, 10 figures. New title. Extra Fig. 2 and extra Section 5 to
compare with alternative treatment of GPDs. Numerical results unchanged. To

Modelling generalized parton distributions to describe deeply virtual Compton scattering data
We present a new model for generalized parton distributions (GPDs), based on
the aligned jet model, which successfully describes the deeply virtual Compton
scattering (DVCS) data from H1, ZEUS, HERMES and CLAS. We also present an
easily implementable and flexible algorithm for their construction. This new
model is necessary since the most widely used models for GPDs, which are based
on factorized double distributions, cannot, in their current form, describe the
DVCS data when employed in a full QCD analysis. We demonstrate explicitly the
reason for the shortcoming in the data description. We also highlight several
non-perturbative input parameters which could be used to tune the GPDs, and the
-dependence, to the DVCS data using a fitting procedure.Comment: 12 pages, 12 figures, revtex4, shortened version accepted for

State sampling dependence of the Hopfield network inference
The fully connected Hopfield network is inferred based on observed
magnetizations and pairwise correlations. We present the system in the glassy
phase with low temperature and high memory load. We find that the inference
error is very sensitive to the form of state sampling. When a single state is
sampled to compute magnetizations and correlations, the inference error is
almost indistinguishable irrespective of the sampled state. However, the error
can be greatly reduced if the data is collected with state transitions. Our
result holds for different disorder samples and accounts for the previously
observed large fluctuations of inference error at low temperatures.Comment: 4 pages, 1 figure, further discussions added and relevant references

Exclusive rho^0 muoproduction on transversely polarised protons and deuterons
The transverse target spin azimuthal asymmetry A_UT in hard exclusive
production of rho^0 mesons was measured at COMPASS by scattering 160 GeV/c
muons off transversely polarised protons and deuterons. The measured asymmetry
is sensitive to the nucleon helicity-flip generalised parton distributions E^q,
which are related to the orbital angular momentum of quarks in the nucleon. The
Q^2, x_B and p_t^2 dependence of A_UT is presented in a wide kinematic range.
Results for deuterons are obtained for the first time. The measured asymmetry
is small in the whole kinematic range for both protons and deuterons, which is
consistent with the theoretical interpretation that contributions from GPDs E^u
and E^d approximately cancel.Comment: 20 pages, 9 figures and 4 tables, updated author lis
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

Search for direct production of charginos and neutralinos in events with three leptons and missing transverse momentum in âs = 7 TeV pp collisions with the ATLAS detector
A search for the direct production of charginos and neutralinos in final states with three electrons or muons and missing transverse momentum is presented. The analysis is based on 4.7 fbâ1 of protonâproton collision data delivered by the Large Hadron Collider and recorded with the ATLAS detector. Observations are consistent with Standard Model expectations in three signal regions that are either depleted or enriched in Z-boson decays. Upper limits at 95% confidence level are set in R-parity conserving phenomenological minimal supersymmetric models and in simplified models, significantly extending previous results
Measurement of the polarisation of W bosons produced with large transverse momentum in pp collisions at sqrt(s) = 7 TeV with the ATLAS experiment
This paper describes an analysis of the angular distribution of W->enu and
W->munu decays, using data from pp collisions at sqrt(s) = 7 TeV recorded with
the ATLAS detector at the LHC in 2010, corresponding to an integrated
luminosity of about 35 pb^-1. Using the decay lepton transverse momentum and
the missing transverse energy, the W decay angular distribution projected onto
the transverse plane is obtained and analysed in terms of helicity fractions
f0, fL and fR over two ranges of W transverse momentum (ptw): 35 < ptw < 50 GeV
and ptw > 50 GeV. Good agreement is found with theoretical predictions. For ptw
> 50 GeV, the values of f0 and fL-fR, averaged over charge and lepton flavour,
are measured to be : f0 = 0.127 +/- 0.030 +/- 0.108 and fL-fR = 0.252 +/- 0.017
+/- 0.030, where the first uncertainties are statistical, and the second
include all systematic effects.Comment: 19 pages plus author list (34 pages total), 9 figures, 11 tables,
