Two-particle decays of B_c meson into charmonium states
The factorization of hard and soft contributions into the hadronic decays of
B_c meson at large recoils is explored in order to evaluate the decay rates
into the S, P and D-wave charmonia associated with rho and pi. The constraints
of approach applicability and uncertainties of numerical estimates are
discussed. The mode with the J/psi in the final state is evaluated taking into
account the cascade radiative electromagnetic decays of excited P-wave states,
that enlarges the branching ratio by 20-25%.Comment: 13 pages, LaTeX axodraw-style, 1 figure, 2 table
Particle decay in false vacuum
We revisit the problem of decay of a metastable vacuum induced by the
presence of a particle. For the bosons of the `master field' the problem is
solved in any number of dimensions in terms of the spontaneous decay rate of
the false vacuum, while for a fermion we find a closed expression for the decay
rate in (1+1) dimensions. It is shown that in the (1+1) dimensional case an
infrared problem of one-loop correction to the decay rate of a boson is
resolved due to a cancellation between soft modes of the field. We also find
the boson decay rate in the `sine-Gordon staircase' model in the limits of
strong and weak coupling.Comment: 19 pages, 2 figure
Physics of B_c mesons
In the framework of potential models for heavy quarkonium the mass spectrum
for the system () is considered. Spin-dependent splittings, taking
into account a change of a constant for effective coulomb interaction between
the quarks, and widths of radiative transitions between the () levels
are calculated. In the framework of QCD sum rules, masses of the lightest
vector and pseudoscalar states are estimated, scaling relation
for leptonic constants of heavy quarkonia is derived, and the leptonic constant
is evaluated. The decays are considered in the framework of
both the potential models and the QCD sum rules, where the significance of
Coulomb-like corrections is shown. The relations, following from the
approximate spin symmetry for the heavy quarks in the heavy quarkonium, are
analysed for the form factors of the semileptonic weak exclusive decays of
. The lifetime is evaluated with the account of the corrections to
the spectator mechanism of the decay, because of the quark binding into the
meson. The total and differential cross sections of the production in
different interactions are calculated. The analytic expressions for the
fragmentational production cross sections of are derived. The possibility
of the practical search in the current and future experiments at
electron-positron and hadron colliders is analysed.Comment: 81 page, latex, ihep.sty is required and attached in the end of the

Gold-plated Mode of CP-Violation in Decays of B_c Meson from QCD Sum Rules
The model-independent method based on the triangle ideology is implemented to
extract the CKM-matrix angle gamma in the decays of doubly heavy long-lived
meson B_c. We analyze a color structure of diagrams and conditions to
reconstruct two reference-triangles by tagging the flavor and CP eigenstates of
D^0 meson in the fixed exclusive channels. The characteristic branching ratios
are evaluated in the framework of QCD sum rules.Comment: 11 pages, RevTeX4 file, 4 eps-figure
Semileptonic transition in three--point QCD sum rules and HQET with gluon condensate corrections
Taking into account the gluon condensate contributions, the form factors of
the semileptonic transition with are
calculated in the framework of the three point QCD sum rules. The heavy quark
effective theory limit of the form factors are also computed. The relevant
total decay width as well as the branching ratio are evaluated and compared
with the predictions of the other non-perturbative approaches.Comment: 27 Pages, 4 Figures and 4 Table
One-Loop Corrections to Bubble Nucleation Rate at Finite Temperature
We present an evaluation of the 1-loop prefactor in the lifetime of a
metastable state which decays at finite temperature by bubble nucleation. Such
a state is considered in one-component phi^4 model in three space dimensions.
The calculation serves as a prototype application of a fast numerical method
for evaluating the functional determinants that appear in semiclassical
approximations.Comment: DO-TH-93/18, 15 pages, 11 Figures available on request, LaTeX, no
