Nonlinearization of the Lax pairs for discrete AblowitzâLadik hierarchy
AbstractThe discrete AblowitzâLadik hierarchy with four potentials and the Hamiltonian structures are derived. Under a constraint between the potentials and eigenfunctions, the nonlinearization of the Lax pairs associated with the discrete AblowitzâLadik hierarchy leads to a new symplectic map and a class of finite-dimensional Hamiltonian systems. The generating function of the integrals of motion is presented, by which the symplectic map and these finite-dimensional Hamiltonian systems are further proved to be completely integrable in the Liouville sense. Each member in the discrete AblowitzâLadik hierarchy is decomposed into a Hamiltonian system of ordinary differential equations plus the discrete flow generated by the symplectic map
WIMPs search by scintillators: possible strategy for annual modulation search with large-mass highly-radiopure NaI(Tl)
The DAMA experiments are running deep underground in the Gran Sasso National
Laboratory. Several interesting results have been achieved so far. Here a
maximum likelihood method to search for the WIMP annual modulation signature is
discussed and applied to a set of preliminary test data collected with large
mass highly radiopure NaI(Tl) detectors. Various related technical arguments
are briefly addressed.Comment: 6 pages, 4 figures, LaTex. Contributed paper to TAUP97; to appear in

More Model-Independent Analysis of b->s Processes
We study model-independently the implications of non-standard scalar and
pseudoscalar interactions for the decays b ->s gamma, b -> s g, b -> s l^+l^-
(l=e,mu) and B_s -> mu^+ mu^-. We find sizeable renormalization effects from
scalar and pseudoscalar four-quark operators in the radiative decays and at
O(alpha_s) in hadronic b decays. Constraints on the Wilson coefficients of an
extended operator basis are worked out. Further, the ratios R_H = BR(B -> H
mu^+ mu^-)/BR(B -> H e^+ e^-), for H=K^(*), X_s, and their correlations with
B_s -> mu^+ mu^- decay are investigated. We show that the Standard Model
prediction for these ratios defined with the same cut on the dilepton mass for
electron and muon modes, R_H= 1 + O(m^2_mu/m^2_b), has a much smaller
theoretical uncertainty (<1%) than the one for the individual branching
fractions. The present experimental limit R_K < 1.2 puts constraints on scalar
and pseudoscalar couplings, which are similar to the ones from current data on
BR(B_s -> mu^+ mu^-). We find that new physics corrections to R_{K*} and
R_{X_s} can reach 13% and 10%, respectively.Comment: 28 pages, 6 figures; Table 1 updated, two refs added (to appear in

Applicability of perturbative QCD to decays
We develop perturbative QCD factorization theorem for the semileptonic heavy
baryon decay , whose form factors are
expressed as the convolutions of hard quark decay amplitudes with universal
and baryon wave functions. Large logarithmic
corrections are organized to all orders by the Sudakov resummation, which
renders perturbative expansions more reliable. It is observed that perturbative
QCD is applicable to decays for velocity transfer
greater than 1.2. Under requirement of heavy quark symmetry, we predict the
branching ratio , and determine
the and baryon wave functions.Comment: 12 pages in Latex file, 3 figures in postscript files, some results

B_s --> mu+ mu- decay in the R-parity violating minimal supergravity
We study B_s --> mu+ mu- in the context of the R-parity violating minimal
supergravity in the high tan beta regime. We find that the lowest value of the
branching ratio can go well below the present LHCb sensitivity and hence B_s
--> mu+ mu- can even be invisible to the LHC. We also find that the present
upper bound on Br(B_s --> mu+ mu-) puts strong constraint on the minimal
supergravity parameter space. The constraints become more severe if the upper
bound is close to its standard model prediction.Comment: 18 pages, 10 figures; version to be published in European Physical

DAMA/LIBRA-phase1 results and perspectives of the phase2
The results obtained with the total exposure of 1.04 ton Ă yr collected by DAMA/LIBRAâphase1 deep underground at the Gran Sasso National Laboratory (LNGS) of the I.N.F.N. during 7 annual cycles are summarized. The DAMA/LIBRAâphase1 and the former DAMA/NaI data (cumulative exposure 1.33 ton Ă yr, corresponding to 14 annual cycles) give evidence at 9.3 Ï C.L. for the presence of Dark Matter (DM) particles in the galactic halo, on the basis of the exploited model independent DM annual modulation signature by using highly radio-pure NaI(Tl) target. No systematic or side reaction able to mimic the exploited DM signature has been found or suggested by anyone over more than a decade. The same data of DAMA/LIBRAâphase1 have also been analyzed searching for possible DM second-order diurnal effect; at present, the DM diurnal modulation amplitude â expected because of the Earth diurnal motion â evaluated on the basis of the DAMA Dark Matter annual modulation results is below the reached experimental sensitivity. Some of the perspectives of the presently running DAMA/LIBRAâphase2 are outlined
Possible implications of the channeling effect in NaI(Tl) crystals
The channeling effect of low energy ions along the crystallographic axes and
planes of NaI(Tl) crystals is discussed in the framework of corollary
investigations on WIMP Dark Matter candidates. In fact, the modeling of this
existing effect implies a more complex evaluation of the luminosity yield for
low energy recoiling Na and I ions. In the present paper related
phenomenological arguments are developed and possible implications are
discussed at some extent.Comment: 16 pages, 10 figures, preprint ROM2F/2007/15, submitted for

Upper critical field for underdoped high-T_c superconductors. Pseudogap and stripe--phase
We investigate the upper critical field in a stripe--phase and in the
presence of a phenomenological pseudogap. Our results indicate that the
formation of stripes affects the Landau orbits and results in an enhancement of
. On the other hand, phenomenologically introduced pseudogap leads to a
reduction of the upper critical field. This effect is of particular importance
when the magnitude of the gap is of the order of the superconducting transition
temperature. We have found that a suppression of the upper critical field takes
place also for the gap that originates from the charge--density waves.Comment: 7 pages, 5 figure
Measurements of J/psi Decays into 2(pi+pi-)eta and 3(pi+pi-)eta
Based on a sample of 5.8X 10^7 J/psi events taken with the BESII detector,
the branching fractions of J/psi--> 2(pi+pi-)eta and J/psi-->3(pi+pi-)eta are
measured for the first time to be (2.26+-0.08+-0.27)X10^{-3} and
(7.24+-0.96+-1.11)X10^{-4}, respectively.Comment: 11 pages, 6 figure
BESII Detector Simulation
A Monte Carlo program based on Geant3 has been developed for BESII detector
simulation. The organization of the program is outlined, and the digitization
procedure for simulating the response of various sub-detectors is described.
Comparisons with data show that the performance of the program is generally
satisfactory.Comment: 17 pages, 14 figures, uses elsart.cls, to be submitted to NIM
