Some aspects of global Lambda polarization in heavy-ion collisions
Large orbital angular momentum can be generated in non-central heavy-ion
collisions, and part of it is expected to be converted into final particle's
polarization due to the spin-orbit coupling. Within the framework of A
Multi-Phase Transport (AMPT) model, we studied the vorticity-induced
polarization of hyperons at the midrapidity region in
Au-Au collisions at energies GeV. Our results show
that the global polarization decreases with the collisional energies and is
consistent with the recent STAR measurements. This behavior can be understood
by less asymmetry of participant matter in the midrapidity region due to faster
expansion of fireball at higher energies. As another evidence, we discuss how
much the angular momentum is deposited in different rapidity region. The result
supports our asymmetry argument.Comment: 6 pages, 4 figures, CPOD 2017 proceedin
Transition Form Factors in the PQCD approach
Under two different scenarios for the light scalar mesons, we investigate the
transition form factors of mesons decay into a scalar meson in the
perturbative QCD approach. In the large recoiling region, the form factors are
dominated by the short-distance dynamics and can be calculated using
perturbation theory. We adopt the dipole parametrization to recast the
dependence of the form factors. Since the decay constants defined by the scalar
current are large, our predictions on the form factors are much larger
than the transitions, especially in the second scenario. Contributions
from various light-cone distribution amplitudes (LCDAs) are elaborated and we
find that the twist-3 LCDAs provide more than a half contributions to the form
factors. The two terms of the twist-2 LCDAs give destructive contributions in
the first scenario while they give constructive contributions in the second
scenario. With the form factors, we also predict the decay width and branching
ratios of the semileptonic and decays. The
branching ratios of channels are found to have the order of
while those of have the order of . These
predictions can be tested by the future experiments.Comment: 20 pages, 31 figure
Universal Inequalities for Eigenvalues of the Buckling Problem of Arbitrary Order
We investigate the eigenvalues of the buckling problem of arbitrary order on
compact domains in Euclidean spaces and spheres. We obtain universal bounds for
the th eigenvalue in terms of the lower eigenvalues independently of the
particular geometry of the domain.Comment: 24 page
