The Pseudoscalar Meson and Heavy Vector Meson Scattering Lengths
We have systematically studied the S-wave pseudoscalar meson and heavy vector
meson scattering lengths to the third order with the chiral perturbation
theory, which will be helpful to reveal their strong interaction. For
comparison, we have presented the numerical results of the scattering lengths
(1) in the framework of the heavy meson chiral perturbation theory and (2) in
the framework of the infrared regularization. The chiral expansion converges
well in some channels.Comment: 10 pages, 1 figures, 4 tables. Corrected typos, Improved numerical

A global dataset of spatiotemporally seamless daily mean land surface temperatures: generation, validation, and analysis
Daily mean land surface temperatures (LSTs) acquired from polar orbiters are crucial for various applications such as global and regional climate change analysis. However, thermal sensors from polar orbiters can only sample the surface effectively with very limited times per day under cloud-free conditions. These limitations have produced a systematic sampling bias (ΔT) on the daily mean LST (T) estimated with the traditional method, which uses the averages of clear-sky LST observations directly as the T. Several methods have been proposed for the estimation of the T, yet they are becoming less capable of generating spatiotemporally seamless T across the globe. Based on MODIS and reanalysis data, here we propose an improved annual and diurnal temperature cycle-based framework (termed the IADTC framework) to generate global spatiotemporally seamless T products ranging from 2003 to 2019 (named the GADTC products). The validations show that the IADTC framework reduces the systematic ΔT significantly. When validated only with in situ data, the assessments show that the mean absolute errors (MAEs) of the IADTC framework are 1.4 and 1.1 K for SURFRAD and FLUXNET data, respectively, and the mean biases are both close to zero. Direct comparisons between the GADTC products and in situ measurements indicate that the MAEs are 2.2 and 3.1 K for the SURFRAD and FLUXNET datasets, respectively, and the mean biases are −1.6 and −1.5 K for these two datasets, respectively. By taking the GADTC products as references, further analysis reveals that the T estimated with the traditional averaging method yields a positive systematic ΔT of greater than 2.0 K in low-latitude and midlatitude regions while of a relatively small value in high-latitude regions. Although the global-mean LST trend (2003 to 2019) calculated with the traditional method and the IADTC framework is relatively close (both between 0.025 to 0.029 K yr), regional discrepancies in LST trend do occur – the pixel-based MAE in LST trend between these two methods reaches 0.012 K yr. We consider the IADTC framework can guide the further optimization of T estimation across the globe, and the generated GADTC products should be valuable in various applications such as global and regional warming analysis
Provider performance in treating poor patients - factors influencing prescribing practices in lao PDR: a cross-sectional study
Parallel momentum distribution of the Si fragments from P
Distribution of the parallel momentum of Si fragments from the breakup
of 30.7 MeV/nucleon P has been measured on C targets. The distribution
has the FWHM with the value of 110.5 23.5 MeV/c which is consistent
quantitatively with Galuber model calculation assuming by a valence proton in
P. The density distribution is also predicted by Skyrme-Hartree-Fock
calculation. Results show that there might exist the proton-skin structure in
P.Comment: 4 pages, 4 figure
Identified baryon and meson distributions at large transverse momenta from Au+Au collisions at GeV
Transverse momentum spectra of , and up to 12 GeV/c
at mid-rapidity in centrality selected Au+Au collisions at GeV are presented. In central Au+Au collisions, both and
show significant suppression with respect to binary scaling at
4 GeV/c. Protons and anti-protons are less suppressed than
, in the range 1.5 6 GeV/c. The and
ratios show at most a weak dependence and no significant
centrality dependence. The ratios in central Au+Au collisions approach
the values in p+p and d+Au collisions at 5 GeV/c. The results at high
indicate that the partonic sources of , and have
similar energy loss when traversing the nuclear medium.Comment: 6 pages, 4 figure
Longitudinal double-spin asymmetry and cross section for inclusive jet production in polarized proton collisions at sqrt(s) = 200 GeV
We report a measurement of the longitudinal double-spin asymmetry A_LL and
the differential cross section for inclusive midrapidity jet production in
polarized proton collisions at sqrt(s)=200 GeV. The cross section data cover
transverse momenta 5 < pT < 50 GeV/c and agree with next-to-leading order
perturbative QCD evaluations. The A_LL data cover 5 < pT < 17 GeV/c and
disfavor at 98% C.L. maximal positive gluon polarization in the polarized
nucleon.Comment: 6 pages, 3 figures. Minor changes from review process in Phys. Rev.

System-Size Independence of Directed Flow Measured at the BNL Relativistic Heavy-Ion Collider
We measure directed flow (ν_1) for charged particles in Au+Au and Cu+Cu collisions at √S_(NN)=200 and 62.4 GeV, as a function of pseudorapidity (η), transverse momentum (p_t), and collision centrality, based on data from the STAR experiment. We find that the directed flow depends on the incident energy but, contrary to all available model implementations, not on the size of the colliding system at a given centrality. We extend the validity of the limiting fragmentation concept to ν_1 in different collision systems, and investigate possible explanations for the observed sign change in ν_1(p_t)
Spin alignment measurements of the and vector mesons at RHIC
We present the first spin alignment measurements for the and
vector mesons produced at mid-rapidity with transverse momenta up
to 5 GeV/c at = 200 GeV at RHIC. The diagonal spin density
matrix elements with respect to the reaction plane in Au+Au collisions are
= 0.32 0.04 (stat) 0.09 (syst) for the
( GeV/c) and = 0.34 0.02 (stat) 0.03
(syst) for the ( GeV/c), and are constant with transverse
momentum and collision centrality. The data are consistent with the unpolarized
expectation of 1/3 and thus no evidence is found for the transfer of the
orbital angular momentum of the colliding system to the vector meson spins.
Spin alignments for and in Au+Au collisions were also measured
with respect to the particle's production plane. The result,
= 0.41 0.02 (stat) 0.04 (syst), is consistent with that in p+p
collisions, = 0.39 0.03 (stat) 0.06 (syst), also
measured in this work. The measurements thus constrain the possible size of
polarization phenomena in the production dynamics of vector mesons.Comment: 7 pages, 4 figures. fig.1 updated; one more reference added, one typo
