    The Consistent Result of Cosmological Constant From Quantum Cosmology and Inflation with Born-Infeld Scalar Field

    Full text link
    The Quantum cosmology with Born-Infeld(B-I) type scalar field is considered. In the extreme limits of small cosmological scale factor the wave function of the universe can also be obtained by applying the methods developed by Hartle-Hawking(H-H) and Vilenkin. H-H wave function predicts that most Probable cosmological constant Λ\Lambda equals to 1η\frac{1}{\eta}(12η\frac{1}{2\eta} equals to the maximum of the kinetic energy of scalar field). It is different from the original results(Λ=0\Lambda=0) in cosmological constant obtained by Hartle-Hawking. The Vilenkin wave function predicts a nucleating unverse with largest possible cosmological constant and it is larger than 1/η1/\eta. The conclusions have been nicely to reconcile with cosmic inflation. We investigate the inflation model with B-I type scalar field, and find that η\eta depends on the amplitude of tensor perturbation δh\delta_h, with the form 1η≃m212π[(9δΦ2Nδh2)2−1].\frac{1}{\eta}\simeq \frac{m^2}{12\pi[(\frac{9\delta_{\Phi}^2}{N \delta_h^2})^2-1]}. The vacuum energy in inflation epoch depends on the tensor-to-scalar ratio δhδΦ\frac{\delta_h}{\delta_{\Phi}}. The amplitude of the tensor perturbation δh{\delta_{h}} can, in principle, be large enough to be discovered. However, it is only on the border of detectability in future experiments. If it has been observed in future, this is very interesting to determine the vacuum energy in inflation epoch.Comment: 12 pages, one figure, references added, accepted by European Physical Journal

    Born-Infeld Type Phantom Model in the ω−ω′\omega-\omega' Plane

    Full text link
    In this paper, we investigate the dynamics of Born-Infeld(B-I) phantom model in the ω−ω′\omega-\omega' plane, which is defined by the equation of state parameter for the dark energy and its derivative with respect to NN(the logarithm of the scale factor aa). We find the scalar field equation of motion in ω−ω′\omega-\omega' plane, and show mathematically the property of attractor solutions which correspond to ωϕ∼−1\omega_\phi\sim-1, Ωϕ=1\Omega_\phi=1, which avoid the "Big rip" problem and meets the current observations well.Comment: 6 pages, 3 figures, some references adde

    DsJ(2860)D_{sJ}(2860) and DsJ(2715)D_{sJ}(2715)

    Full text link
    Recently Babar Collaboration reported a new csˉc\bar{s} state DsJ(2860)D_{sJ}(2860) and Belle Collaboration observed DsJ(2715)D_{sJ}(2715). We investigate the strong decays of the excited csˉc\bar{s} states using the 3P0^{3}P_{0} model. After comparing the theoretical decay widths and decay patterns with the available experimental data, we tend to conclude: (1) DsJ(2715)D_{sJ}(2715) is probably the 1−(13D1)1^{-}(1^{3}D_{1}) csˉc\bar{s} state although the 1−(23S1)1^{-}(2^{3}S_{1}) assignment is not completely excluded; (2) DsJ(2860)D_{sJ}(2860) seems unlikely to be the 1−(23S1)1^{-}(2^{3}S_{1}) and 1−(13D1)1^{-}(1^{3}D_{1}) candidate; (3) DsJ(2860)D_{sJ}(2860) as either a 0+(23P0)0^{+}(2^{3}P_{0}) or 3−(13D3)3^{-}(1^{3}D_{3}) csˉc\bar{s} state is consistent with the experimental data; (4) experimental search of DsJ(2860)D_{sJ}(2860) in the channels DsηD_s\eta, DK∗DK^{*}, D∗KD^{*}K and Ds∗ηD_{s}^{*}\eta will be crucial to distinguish the above two possibilities.Comment: 18 pages, 7 figures, 2 tables.

    Quantum Cosmology Aspects Of D3 Branes and Tachyon Dynamics

    Full text link
    We investigate aspects of quantum cosmology in relation to string cosmology systems that are described in terms of the Dirac-Born-Infeld action. Using the Silverstein-Tong model, we analyze the Wheeler-DeWitt equation for the rolling scalar and gravity as well for R×S3R\times{S^3} universe, by obtaining the wave functions for all dynamical degrees of freedom of the system. We show, that in some cases one can construct a time dependent version of the Wheeler-DeWitt (WDW) equation for the moduli field ϕ\phi. We also explore in detail the minisuperspace description of the rolling tachyon when non-minimal gravity tachyon couplings are inserted into the tachyon action.Comment: 29 pages, 3 figures, REVTeX 4; v2 clarifications, comments and references added; v3 more typos corrected, additional comments on the minisuperspace description of unstable universes, version published in JHE

    OmOm Diagnostic for Dilaton Dark Energy

    Full text link
    OmOm diagnostic can differentiate between different models of dark energy without the accurate current value of matter density. We apply this geometric diagnostic to dilaton dark energy(DDE) model and differentiate DDE model from LCDM. We also investigate the influence of coupled parameter α\alpha on the evolutive behavior of OmOm with respect to redshift zz. According to the numerical result of OmOm, we get the current value of equation of state ωσ0\omega_{\sigma0}=-0.952 which fits the WMAP5+BAO+SN very well.Comment: 6 pages and 6 figures

    By analyzing the data sets of 17.3, 6.5 and 1.0 pb−1^{-1} taken, respectively, at s=3.773\sqrt s= 3.773, 3.650 and 3.6648 GeV with the BES-II detector at the BEPC collider, we measure the observed cross sections for e+e−→π+π−π0π0e^+e^-\to \pi^+\pi^-\pi^0\pi^0, K+K−π0π0K^+K^-\pi^0\pi^0, 2(π+π−π0)2(\pi^+\pi^-\pi^0), K+K−π+π−π0π0K^+K^-\pi^+\pi^-\pi^0\pi^0 and 3(π+π−)π0π03(\pi^+\pi^-)\pi^0\pi^0 at the three energy points. Based on these cross sections we set the upper limits on the observed cross sections and the branching fractions for ψ(3770)\psi(3770) decay into these final states at 90% C.L..Comment: 7 pages, 2 figure

    Get PDF
    Using 5.8×107J/ψ5.8 \times 10^7 J/\psi events collected in the BESII detector, the radiative decay J/ψ→γϕϕ→γK+K−KS0KL0J/\psi \to \gamma \phi \phi \to \gamma K^+ K^- K^0_S K^0_L is studied. The ϕϕ\phi\phi invariant mass distribution exhibits a near-threshold enhancement that peaks around 2.24 GeV/c2c^{2}. A partial wave analysis shows that the structure is dominated by a 0−+0^{-+} state (η(2225)\eta(2225)) with a mass of 2.24−0.02+0.03−0.02+0.032.24^{+0.03}_{-0.02}{}^{+0.03}_{-0.02} GeV/c2c^{2} and a width of 0.19±0.03−0.04+0.060.19 \pm 0.03^{+0.06}_{-0.04} GeV/c2c^{2}. The product branching fraction is: Br(J/ψ→γη(2225))⋅Br(η(2225)→ϕϕ)=(4.4±0.4±0.8)×10−4Br(J/\psi \to \gamma \eta(2225))\cdot Br(\eta(2225)\to \phi\phi) = (4.4 \pm 0.4 \pm 0.8)\times 10^{-4}.Comment: 11 pages, 4 figures. corrected proof for journa

    By analyzing about 33 pb−1\rm pb^{-1} data sample collected at and around 3.773 GeV with the BES-II detector at the BEPC collider, we directly measure the branching fractions for the neutral and charged DD inclusive semimuonic decays to be BF(D0→μ+X)=(6.8±1.5±0.7)BF(D^0 \to \mu^+ X) =(6.8\pm 1.5\pm 0.7)% and BF(D+→μ+X)=(17.6±2.7±1.8)BF(D^+ \to \mu^+ X) =(17.6 \pm 2.7 \pm 1.8)%, and determine the ratio of the two branching fractions to be BF(D+→μ+X)BF(D0→μ+X)=2.59±0.70±0.25\frac{BF(D^+ \to \mu^+ X)}{BF(D^0 \to \mu^+ X)}=2.59\pm 0.70 \pm 0.25
