    X(3915) and X(4350) as new members in P-wave charmonium family

    Full text link
    The analysis of the mass spectrum and the calculation of the strong decay of P-wave charmonium states strongly support to explain the newly observed X(3915) and X(4350) as new members in P-wave charmonium family, i.e., Ο‡c0β€²\chi_{c0}^\prime for X(3915) and Ο‡c2β€²β€²\chi_{c2}^{\prime\prime} for X(4350). Under the P-wave charmonium assignment to X(3915) and X(4350), the JPCJ^{PC} quantum numbers of X(3915) and X(4350) must be 0++0^{++} and 2++2^{++} respectively, which provide the important criterion to test P-wave charmonium explanation for X(3915) and X(4350) proposed by this letter. The decay behavior of the remaining two P-wave charmonium states with the second radial excitation is predicted, and experimental search for them is suggested.Comment: 4 pages, 2 figures, 2 tables.

    Theoretical Overview on the Flavor Issues of Massive Neutrinos

    Full text link
    We present an overview on some basic properties of massive neutrinos and focus on their flavor issues, including the mass spectrum, flavor mixing pattern and CP violation. The lepton flavor structures are explored by taking account of the observed value of the smallest neutrino mixing angle \theta_{13}. The impact of \theta_{13} on the running behaviors of other flavor mixing parameters is discussed in some detail. The seesaw-induced enhancement of the electromagnetic dipole moments for three Majorana neutrinos is also discussed in a TeV seesaw scenario.Comment: References added. arXiv admin note: text overlap with arXiv:1203.1672, arXiv:1201.2543, arXiv:1203.311
