Cyclotron enhancement of tunneling
A state of an electron in a quantum wire or a thin film becomes metastable,
when a static electric field is applied perpendicular to the wire direction or
the film surface. The state decays via tunneling through the created potential
barrier. An additionally applied magnetic field, perpendicular to the electric
field, can increase the tunneling decay rate for many orders of magnitude. This
happens, when the state in the wire or the film has a velocity perpendicular to
the magnetic field. According to the cyclotron effect, the velocity rotates
under the barrier and becomes more aligned with the direction of tunneling.
This mechanism can be called cyclotron enhancement of tunneling

Electronic Structure and Valence Band Spectra of Bi4Ti3O12
The x-ray photoelectron valence band spectrum and x-ray emission valence-band
spectra (Ti K _beta_5, Ti L_alpha, O K_alpha) of Bi4Ti3O12 are presented
(analyzed in the common energy scale) and interpreted on the basis of a
band-structure calculation for an idealized I4/mmm structure of this material.Comment: 6 pages + 7 PostScript figures, RevTex3.0, to be published in

Improved measurement of time-dependent CP violation in B0 -> J/Psi pi0 decays
We report improved measurements of time-dependent CP violation parameters for
decay. This analysis is based on 535 million
pairs accumulated at the resonance with the Belle
detector at the KEKB asymmetric-energy e^+e^- collider. From the distribution
of proper time intervals between the two B decays, we obtain the following CP
violation parameters and , which are consistent with Standard Model
expectations.Comment: Resubmitted to PRD(RC), including 4 figures, 6pages Revision has been

Observation of Two Resonant Structures in e+e- to pi+ pi- psi(2S) via Initial State Radiation at Belle
The cross section for e+e- to pi+ pi- psi(2S) between threshold and
\sqrt{s}=5.5 GeV is measured using 673 fb^{-1} of data on and off the
\Upsilon(4S) resonance collected with the Belle detector at KEKB. Two resonant
structures are observed in the pi+ pi- psi(2S) invariant mass distribution, one
at 4361\pm 9\pm 9 MeV/c2 with a width of 74\pm 15\pm 10 MeV/c2, and another at
4664\pm 11\pm 5 MeV/c2 with a width of 48\pm 15\pm 3 MeV/c2, if the mass
spectrum is parameterized with the coherent sum of two Breit-Wigner functions.
These values do not match those of any of the known charmonium states.Comment: 10 pages, 5 figures, 2 tables, version to appear in Phys. Rev. Let
Study of B -> D** l nu with full reconstruction tagging
We report a study of semileptonic B decays to P-wave D** mesons. Semileptonic
decay to D*_2 meson is observed for the first time and its product branching
ratio is measured to be
Br(B+ -> anti-D*0_2 l+nu) x Br(anti-D*0_2 -> D- pi+) = 0.22 +- 0.03(stat.) +-
0.04(syst.)%. The result is obtained using the fully reconstructed B tags from
a data sample that contains 657 millions BB-bar pairs collected at the
Upsilon(4S) resonance with the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric-energy e+
e- collider.Comment: 12 pages, 4 figures, submitted to PRD(RC
Search for Decays at Belle
We present a search for the B-> pi e^+ e^- and B-> pi \mu^+ \mu^- decays,
with a data sample of 657 million BBbar pairs collected with the Belle detector
at the KEKB collider. Signal events are reconstructed from a charged
or a neutral pion candidate and a pair of oppositely charged electrons or
muons. No significant signal is observed and we set the upper limit on the
isospin-averaged branching fraction BF(B -> \pi \ell^+\ell^-) < 6.2x10^-8 at
the 90% confidence level.Comment: 8 pages, 3 figures, accepted by PRD(RC
Measurement of CP Asymmetries and Branching Fractions in a Time-Dependent Dalitz Analysis of B^0-->(rho pi)^0 and a Constraint on the Quark Mixing Angle phi_2
We present the results of a time-dependent Dalitz plot analysis of B0 --> pi+
pi- pi0 decays based on a 414/fb data sample that contains 449 x 10^6 BB pairs.
The data was collected on the Upsilon(4S) resonance with the Belle detector at
the KEKB asymmetric energy e+e- collider. Combining our analysis with
information on charged B decay modes, we perform a full Dalitz and isospin
analysis and obtain a constraint on the quark mixing angle phi_2, 68deg. <
phi_2 < 95deg. at the 68.3% confidence level for the phi_2 solution consistent
with the standard model (SM). A large SM-disfavored region also remains. The
branching fractions for the decay processes of B0 --> rho+-(770) pi-+ and B0
--> rho0(770) pi0 are measured to be (22.6 +- 1.1[stat.] +- 4.4 [syst.]) x
10^{-6} and (3.0 +- 0.5 [stat.] +- 0.7 [syst.]) x 10^{-6}, respectively. These
are the first branching fraction measurements of the process B0 --> rho(770)pi
with the lowest resonance rho(770) explicitly separated from the radial
excitations.Comment: 26 pages, 12 figures, to be submitted to Phys. Rev. D; Revision to
