Cosmological CPT Violation, Baryon/Leptogenesis and CMB Polarization
In this paper we study the cosmological CPT-violation and its implications in
baryo/leptogenesis and CMB polarization. We propose specifically a variant of
the models of gravitational leptogenesis. By performing a global analysis with
the Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) method, we find the current CMB
polarization observations from the three-year WMAP (WMAP3) and the 2003 flight
of BOOMERANG (B03) data provide a weak evidence for our model. However to
verify and especially exclude this type of mechanism for baryo/leptogenesis
with cosmological CPT-violation, the future measurements on CMB polarization
from PLANCK and CMBpol are necessary.Comment: The version appears in PL
New feature of low charm quark hadronization in collisions at TeV
Treating the light-flavor constituent quarks and antiquarks that can well
describe the data of light-flavor hadrons in collisions at
TeV as the underlying source of chromatically neutralizing the charm quarks of
low transverse momenta (), we show that the experimental data of
spectra of single-charm hadrons , ,
and at mid-rapidity in the low range
( GeV/) in collisions at TeV can
be well understood by the equal-velocity combination of perturbatively-created
charm quarks and those light-flavor constituent quarks and antiquarks. This
suggests a possible new scenario of low charm quark hadronization, in
contrast to the traditional fragmentation mechanism, in collisions at LHC
energies. This is also another support for the exhibition of the effective
constituent quark degrees of freedom for the small parton system created in
collisions at LHC energies.Comment: 7 pages, 5 figure
transitions in the light cone sum rules with the chiral current
semi-leptonic decays to the light scalar meson, , are investigated in the QCD
light-cone sum rules (LCSR) with chiral current correlator. Having little
knowledge of ingredients of the scalar mesons, we confine ourself to the two
quark picture for them and work with the two possible Scenarios. The resulting
sum rules for the form factors receive no contributions from the twist-3
distribution amplitudes (DA's), in comparison with the calculation of the
conventional LCSR approach where the twist-3 parts play usually an important
role. We specify the range of the squared momentum transfer , in which the
operator product expansion (OPE) for the correlators remains valid
approximately. It is found that the form factors satisfy a relation consistent
with the prediction of soft collinear effective theory (SCET). In the effective
range we investigate behaviors of the form factors and differential decay
widthes and compare our calculations with the observations from other
approaches. The present findings can be beneficial to experimentally identify
physical properties of the scalar mesons.Comment: 22 pages,16 figure
