Distribution amplitudes and decay constants for mesons in light-front quark model
We present a calculation of the quark distribution amplitudes(DAs), the
Gegenbauer moments, and decay constants for and mesons using
the light-front quark model. While the quark DA for is somewhat broader
than the asymptotic one, that for meson is very close to the asymptotic
one. The quark DAs for and show asymmetric form due to the flavor
SU(3)-symmetry breaking effect. The decay constants for the transversely
polarized and mesons( and ) as well as the
longitudinally polarized ones( and ) are also obtained. Our
averaged values for , i.e. and
, are found to be consistent with other
model predictions. Especially, our results for the decay constants are in a
good agreement with the SU(6) symmetry relation,

Model-independent view on the low-mass proton-antiproton enhancement
We present a simple interpretation of the recently observed near-threshold
proton-antiproton enhancement. It is described by a set of low-energy
parameters deduced from the analysis of NantiN experiments at LEAR. We predict
a related effect in photoproduction reaction under study by CLAS collaboration.Comment: 10 pages, 2 figure
Heavy-to-Light Form Factors in the Final Hadron Large Energy Limit: Covariant Quark Model Approach
We prove the full covariance of the heavy-to-light weak current matrix
elements based on the Bakamjian-Thomas construction of relativistic quark
models, in the heavy mass limit for the parent hadron and the large energy
limit for the daughter one. Moreover, this quark model representation of the
heavy-to-light form factors fulfills the general relations that were recently
argued to hold in the corresponding limit of QCD, namely that there are only
three independent form factors describing the B -> pi (rho) matrix elements, as
well as the factorized scaling law sqrt(M)z(E) of the form factors with respect
to the heavy mass M and large energy E. These results constitute another good
property of the quark models \`a la Bakamjian-Thomas, which were previously
shown to exhibit covariance and Isgur-Wise scaling in the heavy-to-heavy case.Comment: 11 pages, LaTex2e, no figur
Electromagnetic Structure of the Meson in the Light-Front Quark Model
We investigate the elastic form factors of the rho meson in the light-front
quark model(LFQM). With the phenomenologically accessible meson vertices
including the one obtained by the Melosh transformation frequently used in the
LFQM, we find that only the helicity matrix element of the plus
current receives the zero-mode contribution. We quantify the zero-mode
contribution in the helicity amplitude using the angular condition of
spin-1 system. After taking care of the zero-mode issue, we obtain the
magnetic() and quadrupole() moments of the rho meson as and
, respectively, in the LFQM consistent with the Melosh transformation
and compare our results with other available theoretical predictions.Comment: 14pages, 5figure
Polarization effects in the reaction and determination of the meson form factors in the time--like region
The electron positron annihilation reaction into four pion production has
been studied, through the channel . The
differential (and total) cross sections and various polarization observables
for this reaction have been calculated in terms of the electromagnetic form
factors of the corresponding current. The elements of the
spin--density matrix of the meson were also calculated. Numerical
estimations have been done, with the help of phenomenological form factors
obtained in the space--like region of the momentum transfer squared and
analytically extended to the time-like region.Comment: 19 pages, 2 figures, to appear in Phys Rev
Anomalous attenuation of extraordinary waves in the ionosphere heating experiments
Multiple scattering of radio waves by artificial random irregularities
HF-induced in the ionosphere F region may cause significant attenuation of both
ordinary and extraordinary waves together with common anomalous absorption of
ordinary waves due to their non-linear conversion into plasma waves. To
demonstrate existence and strength of this effect, direct measurements of
attenuation of both powerful pump wave and weak probing waves of extraordinary
polarization have been carried out during an experimental campaign on September
6, 7 and 9, 1999 at the Sura heating facility. The attenuation magnitude of
extraordinary waves reaches of 1-10 dB over a background attenuation caused by
natural irregularities. It is interpreted in the paper on the base of the
theory of multiple scattering from the artificial random irregularities with
characteristic scale lengths of 0.1-1 km. Simple procedure for determining of
irregularity spectrum parameters from the measured attenuation of extraordinary
waves has been implemented and some conclusions about the artificial
irregularity formation have been obtained.Comment: 17 pages, 9 figure
