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

X(3872) and its production at hadron colliders
We evaluate the production cross sections of at the LHC and
Tevatron at NLO in in NRQCD by assuming that the short-distance
production proceeds dominantly through its component in our
\chi_{c1}'\mbox{-}D^0\bar{D}^{*0} mixing model for . The outcomes of
the fits to the CMS distribution can well account for the recent ATLAS
data in a much larger range of transverse momenta
(10~\mbox{GeV}), and the CDF total cross section data, and
are also consistent with the value of constrained by the -meson decay data. %It can also well
describe the behavior of the CDF data, which show a strong
%resemblance to that of the X(3872). For LHCb the predicted X(3872) total cross
section is larger than the data by a factor of 2, which is due to the problem
of the fixed-order NRQCD calculation that may not be applicable for the region
with small (p_T\sim 5 ~\mbox{GeV}) and large forward rapidity
. In comparison, the prediction of molecule production mechanism
for is inconsistent with both distributions and total cross
sections of CMS and ATLAS, and the total cross section of CDF.Comment: Version published in PRD. More explanations added for the LHCb data.
More references added for recent experimental and theoretical results: the
ATLAS measurement on the X(3872) pT distribution in 10-70 GeV; the LHCb
measurement on the X(3872) radiative decays; the lattice calculation on
X(3872); the small resummation method, etc. No changes for the calculated
result and the conclusio
Relativistic Correction to J/\psi Production at Hadron Colliders
Relativistic corrections to the color-singlet J/\psi hadroproduction at the
Tevatron and LHC are calculated up to O(v^2) in nonrelativistic QCD (NRQCD).
The short distance coefficients are obtained by matching full QCD with NRQCD
results for the subprocess g+g\to J/\psi+g. The long distance matrix elements
are extracted from observed J/\psi hadronic and leptonic decay widths up to
O}(v^2). Using the CTEQ6 parton distribution functions, we calculate the LO
production cross sections and relativistic corrections for the process
p+\bar{p}(p)\to J/\psi+X at the Tevatron and LHC. We find that the enhancement
of O(v^2) relativistic corrections to the cross sections over a wide range of
large transverse momentum p_t is negligible, only at a level of about 1 %. This
tiny effect is due to the smallness of the correction to short distance
coefficients and the suppression from long distance matrix elements. These
results indicate that relativistic corrections can not help to resolve the
large discrepancy between leading order prediction and experimental data for
J/\psi production at the Tevatron.Comment: 9 pages, 5 figure
Cancellation of Infrared Divergences in Hadronic Annihilation Decays of Heavy Quarkonia
In the framework of a newly developed factorization formalism which is based
on NRQCD, explicit cancellations are shown for the infrared divergences that
appeared in the previously calculated hadronic annihilation decay rates of
P-wave and D-wave heavy quarkonia. We extend them to a more general case that
to leading order in and next-to-leading order in , the infrared
divergences in the annihilation amplitudes of color-singlet
pair can be removed by including the contributions of
color-octet operators ,
, ... in NRQCD. We also give the decay widths of
at leading order in .Comment: 8 pages, LaTex(3 figures included), to be publishe
production at LHC and indications on the understanding of production
We present a complete evaluation for the prompt production at the
LHC at next-to-leading order in in nonrelativistic QCD. By assuming
heavy quark spin symmetry, the recently observed production data by
LHCb results in a very strong constraint on the upper bound of the color-octet
long distance matrix element of . We find this upper bound is
consistent with our previous study of the yield and polarization and
can give good descriptions for the measurements, but inconsistent with some
other theoretical estimates. This may provide important information for
understanding the nonrelativistic QCD factorization formulism.Comment: 5 pages, 2 figures, published version in PR
Regional Ionosphere Mapping and Autonomous Uplink (RIMAU) Satellite Constellation for Space Weather monitoring and nowcasting over Singapore
The Regional Ionosphere Mapping and Autonomous Uplink (RIMAU) mission is a constellation of six CubeSats in an equatorial orbit, making Radio Occultation (RO) measurements of the atmosphere and in-situ Ionospheric measurements to characterize the ionosphere over equatorial South-East Asia in near real time. RIMAU builds on the success of the VELOX-CI mission developed and operated at the Satellite Research Centre (SaRC) at Nanyang Technological University, which carried a commercial-off-the-shelf GPS receiver and have been operating successfully since December 2015. RIMAU will carry GPS receivers for RO and an Ionospheric payload, the Compact Ionosphere Probe (CIP) developed by National Central University of Taiwan, consisting of a planar Langmuir probe, retarding potential analyser and Ion trap/drift meter. RIMAU-1 is scheduled to be in operation by 2021 with the full constellation scheduled for flight by 2023. A secondary objective of RIMAU is to provide a Low Earth Orbiting nanosatellite platform for communication with remote sensors in the region. RIMAU-1 will demonstrate communication with remote water sensors monitoring water pollutants and uplink from ground based GPS sensors to adjust the sampling rate for the Ionospheric probe during periods of high scintillation. Understanding the occurrence and impact of Ionospheric irregularities is critically needed for equatorial countries like Singapore. In this paper, we present a novel idea to combine ground based and space based Ionospheric observations to monitor in near-real time the Ionosphere over the Singapore region to characterize Ionospheric disturbances and their impact on communication and navigation systems. The main data products from these measurements will be vertical profiles of the Total Electron Content (TEC) in the ionosphere, atmospheric temperature and humidity profiles in the troposphere. RIMAU TEC measurements will be combined with ground based TEC measurements from ~ 60 GPS receivers in the SE Asia region, operated by the Earth Observatory of Singapore to produce 3D maps of the Ionosphere

Gluonic and leptonic decays of heavy quarkonia and the determination of and
QCD running coupling constant and are
determined from heavy quarkonia and decays. The
decay rates of and for and
are estimated by taking into account both relativistic and QCD
radiative corrections. The decay amplitudes are derived in the Bethe-Salpeter
formalism, and the decay rates are estimated by using the meson wavefunctions
which are obtained with a QCD-inspired inter-quark potential. For the
decay we find the relativistic correction to be very large
and to severely suppress the decay rate. Using the experimental values of ratio
R_g\equiv \frac {\Gamma (V\longrightarrow 3g)}% {\Gamma (V\longrightarrow
e^{+}e^{-})}\approx 10,~32 for respectively, and the
calculated widths , we find and
. These values for the QCD running coupling
constant are substantially enhanced, as compared with the ones obtained without
relativistic corrections, and are consistent with the QCD scale parameter
. We also find that these
results are mainly due to kinematic corrections and not sensitive to the
dynamical models.Comment: 15 pages in Late
