Three-body dynamics for the X(3872)
We investigate the role played by the three-body dynamics on
the near-threshold resonance X(3872) charmonium state, which is assumed to be
formed by nonperturbative dynamics. It is demonstrated that, as
compared to the naive static-pions approximation, the imaginary parts that
originate from the inclusion of dynamical pions reduce substantially the width
from the intermediate state. In particular, for a resonance
peaked at 0.5 MeV below the threshold, this contribution to
the width is reduced by about a factor of 2, and the effect of the pion
dynamics on the width grows as long as the resonance is shifted towards the
threshold. Although the physical width of the is
dominated by inelastic channels, our finding should still be of importance for
the line shapes in the channel below threshold.
For example, in the scattering length approximation, the imaginary part of the
scattering length includes effects of all the pion dynamics and does not only
stem from the width. Meanwhile, we find that another important quantity
for the phenomenology, the residue at the pole, is weakly sensitive to
dynamical pions. In particular, we find that the binding energy dependence of
this quantity from the full calculation is close to that found from a model
with pointlike interactions only, consistent with earlier claims.
Coupled-channel effects (inclusion of the charged channel) turn
out to have a moderate impact on the results.Comment: 34 pages, 6 figures, version to appear in Phys.Rev.
A remark on collisions of domain walls in a supersymmetric model
The process of collision of two parallel domain walls in a supersymmetric
model is studied both in effective Lagrangian approximation and by numerical
solving of the exact classical field problem. For small initial velocities we
find that the walls interaction looks like elastic reflection with some delay.
It is also shown that in such approximation internal parameter of the wall may
be considered as a time-dependent dynamical variable.Comment: 6 pages, LaTeX, 3 figures (eps), fig. 2 correcte

The expected background spectrum in NaI dark matter detectors and the DAMA result
Detailed Monte Carlo simulations of the expected radioactive background rates
and spectra in NaI crystals are presented. The obtained spectra are then
compared to those measured in the DAMA/NaI and DAMA/LIBRA experiments. The
simulations can be made consistent with the measured DAMA spectrum only by
assuming higher than reported concentrations of some isotopes and even so leave
very little room for the dark matter signal. We conclude that any
interpretation of the annual modulation of the event rate observed by DAMA as a
dark matter signal, should include full consideration of the background
spectrum. This would significantly restrict the range of dark matter models
capable of explaining the modulation effect.Comment: 17 pages, 6 figure
Mesons, Baryons and Waves in the Baby Skyrmion Model
We study various classical solutions of the baby-Skyrmion model in
dimensions. We point out the existence of higher energy states interpret them
as resonances of Skyrmions and anti-Skyrmions and study their decays. Most of
the discussion involves a highly exited Skyrmion-like state with winding number
one which decays into an ordinary Skyrmion and a Skyrmion-anti-Skyrmion pair.
We also study wave-like solutions of the model and show that some of such
solutions can be constructed from the solutions of the sine-Gordon equation. We
also show that the baby-Skyrmion has non-topological stationary solutions. We
study their interactions with Skyrmions.Comment: plain tex : 17 pages, 14 Postscript figures, uses epsf.te
KKbar molecules with momentum-dependent interactions
It is shown that the momentum-dependent kaon-antikaon interactions generated
via vector meson exchange from the standard SU_V(3) x SU_A(3) interaction
Lagrangian lead to a non-local potential in coordinate space that can be
incorporated without approximation into a non-relativistic version of the
Bethe-Salpeter wave equation containing a radial-dependent effective kaon mass
appearing in a fully symmetrized kinetic energy operator, in addition to a
local potential. Estimates of the mass and decay widths of f_0(980) and
a_0(980), considered as KKbar molecules of isospin 0 and 1, as well as for
K^+K^- atomic bound states (kaonium) are presented, and compared with previous
studies of a similar nature. It is argued that without a better knowledge of
hadronic form factors it is not possible to distinguish between the molecular
versus elementary particle models for the structure of the light scalar mesons.Comment: 14 pages, 2 tables, 5 figures. Added subsection on s-channel
exchange, additional remarks on the possible effect of gluon exchange, and 1

Reconciling the X(3872) with the near-threshold enhancement in the D^0\bar{D}^{*0} final state
We investigate the enhancement in the D^0\bar{D}^0\pi^0 final state with the
mass M=3875.2\pm 0.7^{+0.3}_{-1.6}\pm 0.8 MeV found recently by the Belle
Collaboration in the B\to K D^0\bar{D}^0\pi^0 decay and test the possibility
that this is yet another manifestation of the well-established resonance
X(3872). We perform a combined Flatte analysis of the data for the
D^0\bar{D}^0\pi^0 mode, and for the \pi^+\pi^- J/\psi mode of the X(3872). Only
if the X(3872) is a virtual state in the D^0\bar{D}^{*0} channel, the data on
the new enhancement comply with those on the X(3872). In our fits, the mass
distribution in the D^0\bar{D}^{*0} mode exhibits a peak at 2-3 MeV above the
D^0\bar{D}^{*0} threshold, with a distinctive non-Breit-Wigner shape.Comment: RevTeX4, 17 pages, some references updated and corrected, version
