Baryons with Two Heavy Quarks as Solitons
Using the chiral soliton model and heavy quark symmetry we study baryons
containing two heavy quarks. If there exists a stable (under strong
interactions) meson consisting of two heavy quarks and two light ones, then we
find that there always exists a state of this meson bound to a chiral soliton
and to a chiral anti-soliton, corresponding to a two heavy quark baryon and a
baryon containing two heavy anti-quarks and five light quarks, or a
``heptaquark".Comment: 7 pages and 2 postscript figures appended, LaTex, UCI-TR 94-3
Direct CP Violation in Hadronic B Decays
There are different approaches for the hadronic B decay calculations,
recently. In this paper, we upgrade three of them, namely factorization, QCD
factorization and the perturbative QCD approach based on factorization,
by using new parameters and full wave functions.
Although they get similar results for many of the branching ratios, the
direct CP asymmetries predicted by them are different, which can be tested by
recent experimental measurements of B factories.Comment: 11 pages, 3 figures, revtex4, Talk given at the Workshop on the

Localized Fermions and Anomaly Inflow via Deconstruction
We study fermion localization in gauge theory space. We consider four
dimensional product gauge groups in which light chiral fermions transform under
different gauge factors of the product group. This construction provides a
suppression of higher dimensional operators. For example, it can be used to
suppress dangerous proton decay operators. The anomalies associated with the
light chiral fermions are compensated by Wess-Zumino terms, which in the
continuum limit reproduce the five dimensional Chern-Simons term.Comment: 12 pages, minor changes to section
Lorentz and Galilei Invariance on Lattices
We show that the algebraic aspects of Lie symmetries and generalized
symmetries in nonrelativistic and relativistic quantum mechanics can be
preserved in linear lattice theories. The mathematical tool for symmetry
preserving discretizations on regular lattices is the umbral calculus.Comment: 5 page
B ->PV Decays in the QCD Improved Factorization Approach
Motivated by recent CELO measurements and the progress of the theory of B
decays, we investigate decay modes in
the framework of QCD improved factorization. We find that all the measured
branching ratios are well accommodated in the reasonable parameter space and
predictions for the other decay modes are well below the experimental upper
limits. We also have calculated CP asymmetries in these decay modes.Comment: 24 pages, LaTex-2e, typos correcte
Branching Ratio and CP Violation of B to pi pi Decays in Perturbative QCD Approach
We calculate the branching ratios and CP asymmetries for B^0 to pi^+pi^-, B^+
to pi^+pi^0 and B^0 to pi^0pi^0 decays, in a perturbative QCD approach. In this
approach, we calculate non-factorizable and annihilation type contributions, in
addition to the usual factorizable contributions. We found that the
annihilation diagram contributions are not very small as previous argument. Our
result is in agreement with the measured branching ratio of B to pi^+pi^- by
CLEO collaboration. With a non-negligible contribution from annihilation
diagrams and a large strong phase, we predict a large direct CP asymmetry in
B^0 to pi^+pi^-, and pi^0pi^0, which can be tested by the current running B
factories.Comment: Latex, 28 pages including 11 figures; added contents and figures,

Revisiting the B {\to} {\pi} {\rho}, {\pi} {\omega} Decays in the Perturbative QCD Approach Beyond the Leading Order
We calculate the branching ratios and CP asymmetries of the ,
decays in the perturbative QCD factorization approach up to the
next-to-leading-order contributions. We find that the next-to-leading-order
contributions can interfere with the leading-order part constructively or
destructively for different decay modes. Our numerical results have a much
better agreement with current available data than previous leading-order
calculations, e.g., the next-to-leading-order corrections enhance the
branching ratios by a factor 2.5, which is helpful
to narrow the gaps between theoretic predictions and experimental data. We also
update the direct CP-violation parameters, the mixing-induced CP-violation
parameters of these modes, which show a better agreement with experimental data
than many of the other approaches.Comment: 23 pages, 4 figures, 4 table
Measuring with B transitions
We propose the determination of the CKM matrix element by the
measurement of the spectrum of , dominated by the spectator
quark model mechanism . The interest of
considering versus the semileptonic decay is that more than 50
% of the spectrum for occurs above the kinematical limit for
, while most of the spectrum occurs below
the one. Furthermore, the measure of the hadronic mass
is easier in the presence of an identified than when a has been
produced. As a consistency check, we point out that the rate (including QCD corrections that we present elsewhere) is
consistent with the measured . Although the hadronic
complications may be more severe in the mode that we propose than in the
semileptonic inclusive decay, the end of the spectrum in is
not well understood on theoretical grounds. We argue that, in our case, the
excited , decaying into , do not contribute and, if there is
tagging of the meson, the other mechanisms to produce a of the right
sign are presumably small, of relative to the spectator amplitude,
or can be controlled by kinematical cuts. In the absence of tagging, other
hadronic backgrounds deserve careful study. We present a feasability study with
the BaBar detector.Comment: 22 pages, LaTe
Lifetimes of Heavy-Flavour Hadrons -- Whence and Whither?
A theoretical treatment for the weak decays of heavy-flavour hadrons has been
developed that is genuinely based on QCD. Its methodology as it applies to
total lifetimes and the underlying theoretical issues are sketched. Predictions
are compared with present data. One discrepancy emerges: the beauty baryon
lifetime appears to be significantly shorter than expected. The ramifications
of those findings are analyzed in detail.Comment: 15 pages, no figures, LATEX, two references added and new information

Perturbative approach to the penguin-induced
Using a modified perturbative approach that includes the Sudakov resummation
and transverse degrees of freedom we analyze the penguin-induced decay by applying the next-to-leading order effective weak
Hamiltonian. The modified perturbative method enables us to include
nonfactorizable contributions and to control virtual momenta appearing in the
process. Besides, we apply the three-scale factorization theorem for
nonleptonic processes that offers the possibility of having the
scale-independent product of short- and long-distance parts in the amplitude of
the weak Hamiltonian. The calculation supports the results obtained in the BSW
factorization approach, illustrating the electroweak penguin dominance and the
branching ratio of order . However, the estimated prediction
of 16% for the CP asymmetry is much larger than that obtained in the
factorization approach.Comment: RevTex, 25 pages, 4 PostScript figures included, revised version, to
