Bottomonium Spectrum with Screened Potential
As a sister work of Ref.[1], we incorporate the color-screening effect due to
light quark pair creation into the heavy quark-antiquark potential, and
investigate the effects of screened potential on the spectrum of bottomonium.
We calculate the masses, electromagnetic decays, and E1 transitions of
bottomonium states. We find that the fine splittings between
(J=0,1,2) states are in good agreement with experimental data, and the E1
transition rates of and
(J=0,1,2) all agree with data within
experimental errors. In particular, the mass of is lowered down
to match that of the , which is smaller than the predictions
of the linear potential models by more than 100 MeV. Comparison between
charmonium and bottomonium in some related problems is also discussed.Comment: 9 pages, Commun. Theor. Phys. (in press
Spin correlations in polarizations of P-wave charmonia and impact on polarization
Based on a general form of the effective vertex functions for the decays of
P-wave charmonia \chicj, angular distribution formulas for the subsequent
decays \chicj\rightarrow \jpsi \gamma and \jpsi \to \mu^+\mu^- are derived.
The formulas are the same as those obtained in a different approach in the
literature. Our formulas are expressed in a more general form, including parity
violation effects and the full angular dependence of \jpsi and muon in the
cascade decay \chicj\to\jpsi\gamma\to\mu^+\mu^-\gamma. The \chicj
polarization observables are expressed in terms of rational functions of the
spin density matrix elements of \chicj production. Generalized
rotation-invariant relations for arbitrary integer-spin particles are also
derived and their expressions in terms of observable angular distribution
parameters are given in the and . To complement our
previous direct-\jpsi polarization result, we also discuss the impact on the
observable prompt-\jpsi polarization. As an illustrative application of our
angular distribution formulas, we present the angular distributions in terms of
the tree-level spin density matrix elements of and
production in several different frames at the Large Hadron Collider. Moreover,
a reweighting method is also proposed to determine the entire set of the
production spin density matrix elements of the , some of which
disappear or are suppressed for vanishing higher-order multipole effects making
the complete extraction difficult experimentally.Comment: Version published in PRD, 23 pages, 18 figure
QCD Radiative Correction to the Hadronic Annihilation Rate of Heavy Quarkonium
Hadronic annihilation rate of heavy quarkonium is given to
next-to-leading order in and leading order in using a recently
developed factorization formalism which is based on NRQCD. The result includes
both the annihilation of P-wave color-singlet component, and the
annihilation of S-wave color-octet component of the quarkonium. The
notorious infrared divergences due to soft gluons, i.e., the Logarithms
associated with the binding energy, encountered in previous perturbative
calculations of quarkonium decays are found to be explicitly
cancelled, and a finite result for the decay width to order is
then obtained.Comment: 15 pages latex (6 figures included). In this revised version a update

Search for charmonium and bottomonium states in at B factories
We study the production of charmonium states in at B factories with (n=1,2,3), (m=1,2), and
. In the S and P wave case, contributions of tree-QED with one-loop
QCD corrections are calculated within the framework of nonrelativistic
QCD(NRQCD) and in the D-wave case only the tree-QED contribution are
considered. We find that in most cases the QCD corrections are negative and
moderate, in contrast to the case of double charmonium production , where QCD corrections are positive and large in most cases. We
also find that the production cross sections of some of these states in
are larger than that in by an
order of magnitude even after the negative QCD corrections are included. So we
argue that search for the X(3872), X(3940), Y(3940), and X(4160) in at B factories may be helpful to clarify the nature of these
states. For completeness, the production of bottomonium states in
annihilation is also discussed.Comment: 13pages, 4 figure
Real-time image difference detection using a polarization rotation spacial light modulator
An image difference detection system is described, of the type wherein two created image representations such as transparencies representing the images to be compared lie coplanar, while light passes through the two transparencies and is formed into coincident images at the image plane for comparison. The two transparencies are formed by portions of a polarization-rotation spatial light modulator display such as a multi-pixel liquid crystal display or a magnetooptical rotation type display. In a system where light passing through the two transparencies is polarized in transverse directions to enable the use of a Wollaston prism to bring the images into coincidence, a liquid crystal display can be used which is devoid of polarizing sheets that would interfere with transverse polarizing of the light passing through the two transparencies
Real-time optical multiple object recognition and tracking system and method
The invention relates to an apparatus and associated methods for the optical recognition and tracking of multiple objects in real time. Multiple point spatial filters are employed that pre-define the objects to be recognized at run-time. The system takes the basic technology of a Vander Lugt filter and adds a hololens. The technique replaces time, space and cost-intensive digital techniques. In place of multiple objects, the system can also recognize multiple orientations of a single object. This later capability has potential for space applications where space and weight are at a premium
S-D mixing and production in annihilation and B decay and its radiative transitions
The large decay rate observed by Belle for , which is
comparable to , might indicate either an unexpectedly
large S-D mixing angle or the leading role of the
color-octet mechanism in D-wave charmonium production in B decay. By
calculating the production rate of in the continuum
annihilation at GeV with these two possible approaches (i.e.
the large S-D mixing and the color-octet mechanism), we show that the
measurement for this process at Belle and BaBar may provide a clear cut
clarification for the two approaches. In addition, the radiative E1 transition
ratio may dramatically change from 0.04 (for ) to 200 (for ) due to the large S-D
interference effect, thus the E1 transition measurement of at BES
and CLEO-c will also be very useful in clarifying this issue.Comment: final version to appear in Phys.Rev.D, discussion on uncertainties

Peak shifts due to rescattering in dipion transitions
We study the energy distributions of dipion transitions to
in the final state rescattering model. Since the
is well above the open bottom thresholds, the dipion transitions
are expected to mainly proceed through the real processes and . We find that the energy distributions of
markedly differ from that of . In particular, the resonance peak will be pushed up by
about 7-20 MeV for these dipion transitions relative to the main hadronic decay
modes. These predictions can be used to test the final state rescattering
mechanism in hadronic transitions for heavy quarkonia above the open flavor
thresholds.Comment: Version published in PRD, energy dependence of the total width in
