QCD corrections to double J/\psi production in e+e- annihilation at \sqrt{s}=10.6 GeV
Next-to-Leading-Order(NLO) QCD corrections to double J/psi production in
e^+e^- annihilation at sqrt{s}=10.6 GeV are calculated. We find that they
greatly decrease the cross section, with a K factor (NLO/LO) ranging from -0.31
to 0.25 depending on the renormalization scale. Although the renormalization
scale dependence indicates a large uncertainty, when combined with the NLO QCD
corrections to J/psi + eta_c production, it can explain why the double J/psi$
production could not be found at B factories while the J/psi + eta_c production
could, despite the fact that cross section of the former is larger than that of
the latter at LO by a factor of 1.8.Comment: 4 pages, 4 figures, use revtex
QCD corrections to J/psi plus eta_c production in e+e- annihilation at sqrt{s}=10.6 GeV
Next-to-Leading-Order(NLO) QCD corrections to J/jpsi plus eta_c production in
e+e- annihilation at sqrt{s}=10.6 GeV is calculated in this paper, and an
analytic result is obtained. By choosing proper physical parameters, a K factor
(ratio of NLO to LO) of about 2, which is in agreement with the result in
Ref.\cite{Zhang:2005ch}, is obtained. Our results show that the
Next-Next-to-Leading-Order(NNLO) corrections might be quite large. The plot of
the K-factor vs the center-of-mass energy sqrt{s} shows that it is more
difficult to obtain a convergent result from the perturbative QCD without
resummation of ln(s/m_c) terms as the sqrt{s} becomes larger.Comment: 8 pages, 6 figures, two column
Quantum Geometric Tensor in -Symmetric Quantum Mechanics
A series of geometric concepts are formulated for -symmetric
quantum mechanics and they are further unified into one entity, i.e., an
extended quantum geometric tensor (QGT). The imaginary part of the extended QGT
gives a Berry curvature whereas the real part induces a metric tensor on
system's parameter manifold. This results in a unified conceptual framework to
understand and explore physical properties of -symmetric systems
from a geometric perspective. To illustrate the usefulness of the extended QGT,
we show how its real part, i.e., the metric tensor, can be exploited as a tool
to detect quantum phase transitions as well as spontaneous
-symmetry breaking in -symmetric systems.Comment: main text of 5 pages, plus supplementary material of 8 page
QCD corrections to Upsilon production via color-octet states at the Tevatron and LHC
The NLO QCD corrections to Upsilon production via S-wave color-octet states
Upsilon(^1S_0^8,^3S_1^8) at the Tevatron and LHC is calculated. The K factors
of total cross section (ratio of NLO to LO) are 1.313 and 1.379 for
Upsilon(^1S_0^8) and Upsilon(^3S_1^8) at the Tevatron, while at the LHC they
are 1.044 and 1.182, respectively. By fitting the experimental data from the
D0, the matrix elements for S-wave color-octet states are obtained. And new
predictions for Upsilon production are presented. The prediction for the
polarization of inclusive Upsilon contains large uncertainty rising from the
polarization of Upsilon from feed-down of chi_b. To further clarify the
situation, new measurements on the production and polarization for direct
Upsilon are expected.Comment: 13 pages, 10 Figure
