X(1835): A Possible Baryonium?
We point out that (1) the large coupling and suppressed mesonic
coupling of X(1835) and (2) the suppression of the three-body strange final
states strongly indicate that X(1835) may be a baryonium. We also
point out that the branching ratio of should be bigger
than that of . If BES further confirms the
non-observation of X(1835) in the channel, that will be very
puzzling. Finally, X(1835) may be used a tetraquark generator if X(1835) is
really established as a baryonium state.Comment: Comments and suggestions welcom
Transverse momentum resummation in soft-collinear effective theory
We present a universal formalism for transverse momentum resummation in the
view of soft-collinear effective theory (SCET), and establish the relation
between our SCET formula and the well known Collins-Soper-Sterman's pQCD
formula at the next-to-leading logarithmic order (NLLO). We also briefly
discuss the reformulation of joint resummation in SCET.Comment: 23 pages, 7 figures; version to appear in Phys. Rev.
Top-Quark Decay at Next-to-Next-to-Leading Order in QCD
We present the complete calculation of the top-quark decay width at
next-to-next-to-leading order in QCD, including next-to-leading electroweak
corrections as well as finite bottom quark mass and boson width effects. In
particular, we also show the first results of the fully differential decay
rates for top-quark semileptonic decay at
next-to-next-to-leading order in QCD. Our method is based on the understanding
of the invariant mass distribution of the final-state jet in the singular limit
from effective field theory. Our result can be used to study arbitrary
infrared-safe observables of top-quark decay with the highest perturbative
accuracy.Comment: 5 pages, 6 figures; version accepted for publication in Physical

Higgs Boson Production via Gluon Fusion in the Standard Model with four Generations
Higgs bosons can be produced copiously at the LHC via gluon fusion induced by
top and bottom quark loops, and can be enhanced strongly if extra heavy quarks
exist. We present results for Higgs +zero-, one- and two-jet production at the
LHC, in both the Standard Model and the 4th generation model, by evaluating the
corresponding heavy quark triangle, box and pentagon Feynman diagrams. We
compare the results by using the effective Higgs-gluon interactions in the
limit of heavy quarks with the cross sections including the full mass
dependences. NLO effects with full mass dependence are included in the
inclusive Higgs boson production rate. Our results improve the theoretical
basis for fourth generation effects on the Higgs boson search at the LHC.Comment: Published version in PR
