    We study the B0B^0 decay to D0Dˉ0K0D^0 \bar D^0 K^0 based on the chiral unitary model that generates the X(3720) resonance, and make predictions for the D0Dˉ0D^0 \bar D^0 invariant mass distribution. From the shape of the distribution, the existence of the resonance below threshold could be induced. We also predict the rate of production of the X(3720) resonance to the D0Dˉ0D^0 \bar D^0 mass distribution with no free parameters.Comment: 9 pages, 17 figure

    Nonuniqueness for the kinetic Fokker-Planck equation with inelastic boundary conditions

    We describe the structure of solutions of the kinetic Fokker-Planck equations in domains with boundaries near the singular set in one-space dimension. We study in particular the behaviour of the solutions of this equation for inelastic boundary conditions which are characterized by means of a coefficient rr describing the amount of energy lost in the collisions of the particles with the boundaries of the domain. A peculiar feature of this problem is the onset of a critical exponent rc which follows from the analysis of McKean (cf. [26]) of the properties of the stochastic process associated to the Fokker-Planck equation under consideration. In this paper, we prove rigorously that the solutions of the considered problem are nonunique if r<rcr < r_c and unique if rc<r1r_{c}<r\leq 1. In particular, this nonuniqueness explains the different behaviours found in the physics literature for numerical simulations of the stochastic differential equation associated to the Fokker-Planck equation. In the proof of the results of this paper we use several asymptotic formulas and computations in the companion paper [16].Comment: 64 pages, 1 figure. Previous version has been split into tw

    Observation of enhanced optical spring damping in a macroscopic mechanical resonator and application for parametric instability control in advanced gravitational-wave detectors

    Get PDF
    We show that optical spring damping in an optomechanical resonator can be enhanced by injecting a phase delay in the laser frequency-locking servo to rotate the real and imaginary components of the optical spring constant. This enhances damping at the expense of optical rigidity. We demonstrate enhanced parametric damping which reduces the Q factor of a 0.1-kg-scale resonator from 1.3×10^5 to 6.5×10^3. By using this technique adequate optical spring damping can be obtained to damp parametric instability predicted for advanced laser interferometer gravitational-wave detectors

    A weighted cellular matrix-tree theorem, with applications to complete colorful and cubical complexes

    Get PDF
    We present a version of the weighted cellular matrix-tree theorem that is suitable for calculating explicit generating functions for spanning trees of highly structured families of simplicial and cell complexes. We apply the result to give weighted generalizations of the tree enumeration formulas of Adin for complete colorful complexes, and of Duval, Klivans and Martin for skeleta of hypercubes. We investigate the latter further via a logarithmic generating function for weighted tree enumeration, and derive another tree-counting formula using the unsigned Euler characteristics of skeleta of a hypercube and the Crapo β\beta-invariant of uniform matroids.Comment: 22 pages, 2 figures.
