    Lepton flavor violating μ→eγ\mu\to e\gamma and μ−e\mu-e conversion in unparticle physics

    Full text link
    We have studied lepton flavor violation processes μ→eγ\mu\to e\gamma and μ−e\mu-e conversion in nuclei induced by unparticle. Both Br(μ→eγ){\rm Br}(\mu\to e\gamma) and μ−e\mu-e conversion rate CR(μ−e,Nuclei){\rm CR}(\mu-e,{\rm Nuclei}) strongly depend on the scale dimension dUd_{\cal U} and the unparticle coupling λKff′\lambda^{ff'}_{\rm K}(K=V, A, S, P). Present experimental upper bounds on Br(μ→eγ){\rm Br}(\mu\to e\gamma), CR(μ−e,Ti){\rm CR}(\mu-e,{\rm Ti}) and CR(μ−e,Au){\rm CR}(\mu-e,{\rm Au}) put stringent constraints on the parameters of unaprticle physics. The scale dimensions dUd_{\cal U} around 2 are favored for the unparticle scale ΛU\Lambda_{\cal U} of O(10TeV){\cal O}(10 {\rm TeV}) and the unparticle coupling of O(10−3){\cal O}(10^{-3}). CR(μ−e,Nuclei){\rm CR}(\mu-e,{\rm Nuclei}) is proportional to Zeff4A2/Z\rm{Z^4_{eff}A^2/Z} for the pure vector and scalar couplings between unparticle and SM fermions, this peculiar atomatic number dependence can be used to distinguish unparticle from other theoretical models.Comment: 16 pages, 5 figure

    Quantum Statistical Entropy and Minimal Length of 5D Ricci-flat Black String with Generalized Uncertainty Principle

    Full text link
    In this paper, we study the quantum statistical entropy in a 5D Ricci-flat black string solution, which contains a 4D Schwarzschild-de Sitter black hole on the brane, by using the improved thin-layer method with the generalized uncertainty principle. The entropy is the linear sum of the areas of the event horizon and the cosmological horizon without any cut-off and any constraint on the bulk's configuration rather than the usual uncertainty principle. The system's density of state and free energy are convergent in the neighborhood of horizon. The small-mass approximation is determined by the asymptotic behavior of metric function near horizons. Meanwhile, we obtain the minimal length of the position Δx\Delta x which is restrained by the surface gravities and the thickness of layer near horizons.Comment: 11pages and this work is dedicated to the memory of Professor Hongya Li

    Spectroscopy of q3qˉ3\rm{q}^3\bar{\rm{q}}^3-States in Quark Model and Baryon-Antibaryon Enhancements

    Full text link
    We study the mass spectrum of the q3qˉ3\rm{q}^3\bar{\rm{q}}^3 mesons both from the quark model with triquark correlations and from common quark model with colormagnetic interactions and with relative S-waves between quarks. Two cluster configurations (q3)−(qˉ3)(\rm{q}^3)-(\bar{\rm{q}}^3) and (q2qˉ)−(qqˉ2)(\rm{q}^2\bar{\rm{q}})-(\rm{q}\bar{\rm{q}}^2) are considered. In the spectrum we find rather stable states which have the same quantum number with particle resonances which are corresponding to the ppˉp\bar{p} enhancement, pΛˉp\bar{\Lambda} enhancement and ΛΛˉ\Lambda\bar{\Lambda} enhancement with spin-0\mathbf{0} or 1\mathbf{1}. This imply these enhancements are NOT experimental artifacts. The color-spin-flavor structures of ppˉp\bar{p}, pΛˉp\bar{\Lambda}, and ΛΛˉ\Lambda\bar{\Lambda} enhancements are revealed. The existence of spin-1\mathbf{1} ΛΛˉ,pΛˉ,ppˉ\Lambda\bar{\Lambda}, p\bar{\Lambda}, p\bar{p} enhancements is predicted.Comment: 45 pages, 5 figure

    Quantum mechanical path integrals and thermal radiation in static curved spacetimes

    Get PDF
    The propagator of a spinless particle is calculated from the quantum mechanical path integral formalism in static curved spacetimes endowed with event-horizons. A toy model, the Gui spacetime, and the 2D and 4D Schwarzschild black holes are considered. The role of the topology of the coordinates configuration space is emphasised in this framework. To cover entirely the above spacetimes with a single set of coordinates, tortoise coordinates are extended to complex values. It is shown that the homotopic properties of the complex tortoise configuration space imply the thermal behaviour of the propagator in these spacetimes. The propagator is calculated when end points are located in identical or distinct spacetime regions separated by one or several event-horizons. Quantum evolution through the event-horizons is shown to be unitary in the fifth variable.Comment: 22 pages, 10 figure

    Universal critical properties of the Eulerian bond-cubic model

    Full text link
    We investigate the Eulerian bond-cubic model on the square lattice by means of Monte Carlo simulations, using an efficient cluster algorithm and a finite-size scaling analysis. The critical points and four critical exponents of the model are determined for several values of nn. Two of the exponents are fractal dimensions, which are obtained numerically for the first time. Our results are consistent with the Coulomb gas predictions for the critical O(nn) branch for n<2n < 2 and the results obtained by previous transfer matrix calculations. For n=2n=2, we find that the thermal exponent, the magnetic exponent and the fractal dimension of the largest critical Eulerian bond component are different from those of the critical O(2) loop model. These results confirm that the cubic anisotropy is marginal at n=2n=2 but irrelevant for n<2n<2
