Charmless Two-body decays In Soft-Collinear-Effective-Theory
We provide the analysis of charmless two-body decays under the
framework of the soft-collinear-effective-theory (SCET), where denotes a
light vector (pseudoscalar) meson. Besides the leading power contributions,
some power corrections (chiraly enhanced penguins) are also taken into account.
Using the current available and experimental data on
branching fractions and CP asymmetry variables, we find two kinds of solutions
in fit for the 16 non-perturbative inputs which are essential in the
87 and decay channels. Chiraly enhanced penguins can change
several charming penguins sizably, since they share the same topology. However,
most of the other non-perturbative inputs and predictions on branching ratios
and CP asymmetries are not changed too much. With the two sets of inputs, we
predict the branching fractions and CP asymmetries of other modes especially
decays. The agreements and differences with results in QCD
factorization and perturbative QCD approach are analyzed. We also study the
time-dependent CP asymmetries in channels with CP eigenstates in the final
states and some other channels such as and
. In the perturbative QCD approach, the
penguins in annihilation diagrams play an important role. Although
they have the same topology with charming penguins in SCET, there are many
differences between the two objects in weak phases, magnitudes, strong phases
and factorization properties.Comment: 34 pages, revtex, 2 figures, published at PR
Modeling Fault Propagation Paths in Power Systems: A New Framework Based on Event SNP Systems With Neurotransmitter Concentration
To reveal fault propagation paths is one of the most critical studies for the analysis of
power system security; however, it is rather dif cult. This paper proposes a new framework for the fault
propagation path modeling method of power systems based on membrane computing.We rst model the fault
propagation paths by proposing the event spiking neural P systems (Ev-SNP systems) with neurotransmitter
concentration, which can intuitively reveal the fault propagation path due to the ability of its graphics models
and parallel knowledge reasoning. The neurotransmitter concentration is used to represent the probability
and gravity degree of fault propagation among synapses. Then, to reduce the dimension of the Ev-SNP
system and make them suitable for large-scale power systems, we propose a model reduction method
for the Ev-SNP system and devise its simpli ed model by constructing single-input and single-output
neurons, called reduction-SNP system (RSNP system). Moreover, we apply the RSNP system to the IEEE
14- and 118-bus systems to study their fault propagation paths. The proposed approach rst extends the
SNP systems to a large-scaled application in critical infrastructures from a single element to a system-wise
investigation as well as from the post-ante fault diagnosis to a new ex-ante fault propagation path prediction,
and the simulation results show a new success and promising approach to the engineering domain
Fractional Quantum Hall Effect in Topological Flat Bands with Chern Number Two
Recent theoretical works have demonstrated various robust Abelian and
non-Abelian fractional topological phases in lattice models with topological
flat bands carrying Chern number C=1. Here we study hard-core bosons and
interacting fermions in a three-band triangular-lattice model with the lowest
topological flat band of Chern number C=2. We find convincing numerical
evidence of bosonic fractional quantum Hall effect at the filling
characterized by three-fold quasi-degeneracy of ground states on a torus, a
fractional Chern number for each ground state, a robust spectrum gap, and a gap
in quasihole excitation spectrum. We also observe numerical evidence of a
robust fermionic fractional quantum Hall effect for spinless fermions at the
filling with short-range interactions.Comment: 5 pages, 7 figures, with Supplementary Materia
Non-Abelian Quantum Hall Effect in Topological Flat Bands
Inspired by recent theoretical discovery of robust fractional topological
phases without a magnetic field, we search for the non-Abelian quantum Hall
effect (NA-QHE) in lattice models with topological flat bands (TFBs). Through
extensive numerical studies on the Haldane model with three-body hard-core
bosons loaded into a TFB, we find convincing numerical evidence of a stable
bosonic NA-QHE, with the characteristic three-fold quasi-degeneracy of
ground states on a torus, a quantized Chern number, and a robust spectrum gap.
Moreover, the spectrum for two-quasihole states also shows a finite energy gap,
with the number of states in the lower energy sector satisfying the same
counting rule as the Moore-Read Pfaffian state.Comment: 5 pages, 7 figure
9,9-Dimethyl-12-(4-nitrophenyl)-9,10-dihydro-12H-benzo[a]xanthen-11(8H)-one
In the molecular structure of the title compound, C25H21NO4, the pyran ring adopts a flattened boat conformation, while the cyclohexenone ring is in an envelope conformation. The 4-nitrophenyl ring is almost perpendicular to the pyran ring [dihedral angle = 89.39 (1)°]. In the crystal, molecules are connected by intermolecular C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds
Entanglement production and decoherence-free subspace of two single-mode cavities embedded in a common environment
A system consisting of two identical single-mode cavities coupled to a common
environment is investigated within the framework of algebraic dynamics. Based
on the left and right representations of the Heisenberg-Weyl algebra, the
algebraic structure of the master equation is explored and exact analytical
solutions of this system are obtained. It is shown that for such a system, the
environment can produce entanglement in contrast to its commonly believed role
of destroying entanglement. In addition, the collective zero-mode eigen
solutions of the system are found to be free of decoherence against the
dissipation of the environment. These decoherence-free states may be useful in
quantum information and quantum computation.Comment: 10 pages, 7 figures, Revtex
Reconsideration of Second Harmonic Generation from neat Air/Water Interface: Broken of Kleinman Symmetry from Dipolar Contribution
It has been generally accepted that there are significant quadrupolar and
bulk contributions to the second harmonic generation (SHG) reflected from the
neat air/water interface, as well as common liquid interfaces. Because there
has been no general methodology to determine the quadrupolar and bulk
contributions to the SHG signal from a liquid interface, this conclusion was
reached based on the following two experimental phenomena. Namely, the broken
of the macroscopic Kleinman symmetry, and the significant temperature
dependence of the SHG signal from the neat air/water interface. However,
because sum frequency generation vibrational spectroscopy (SFG-VS) measurement
of the neat air/water interface observed no apparent temperature dependence,
the temperature dependence in the SHG measurement has been reexamined and
proven to be an experimental artifact. Here we present a complete microscopic
analysis of the susceptibility tensors of the air/water interface, and show
that dipolar contribution alone can be used to address the issue of broken of
the macroscopic Kleinman symmetry at the neat air/water interface. Using this
analysis, the orientation of the water molecules at the interface can be
obtained, and it is consistent with the measurement from SFG-VS. Therefore, the
key rationales to conclude significantly quadrupolar and bulk contributions to
the SHG signal of the neat air/water interface can no longer be considered as
valid as before. This new understanding of the air/water interface can shed
light on our understanding of the nonlinear optical responses from other
molecular interfaces as well
