    Why is TeV-scale a geometric mean of neutrino mass and GUT-scale?

    Full text link
    Among three typical energy scales, a neutrino mass scale (mνm_\nu\sim 0.1 eV), a GUT scale (MGUT1016M_{GUT}\sim 10^{16} GeV), and a TeV-scale (MNP1M_{NP}\sim 1 TeV), there is a fascinating relation of MNPmνMGUTM_{NP}\simeq \sqrt{m_\nu\cdot M_{GUT}}. The TeV-scale, MNPM_{NP}, is a new physics scale beyond the standard model which is regarded as supersymmetry in this letter. We suggest a simple supersymmetric neutrinophilic Higgs doublet model, which realizes the above relation dynamically as well as the suitable mνm_\nu through a tiny vacuum expectation value of neutrinophilic Higgs without additional scales other than MNPM_{NP} and MGUTM_{GUT}. A gauge coupling unification, which is an excellent feature in the supersymmetric standard model, is preserved automatically in this setup.Comment: 7 page

    Measurement of the near-threshold e+eDDˉe^+e^- \to D \bar D cross section using initial-state radiation

    Full text link
    We report measurements of the exclusive cross section for e+eDDˉe^+e^- \to D \bar D , where D=D0D=D^0 or D+D^+, in the center-of-mass energy range from the DDˉD \bar D threshold to 5GeV/c25\mathrm{GeV}/c^2 with initial-state radiation. The analysis is based on a data sample collected with the Belle detector with an integrated luminosity of 673 fb1\mathrm{fb}^{-1}.Comment: Presented at EPS07 and LP07 conferences, published in PRD(RC

    Charge Asymmetry of Same-Sign Dileptons in B0B^0-Bˉ0\bar{B}^0 Mixing

    Full text link
    We report a measurement of the charge asymmetry for same-sign dileptons in B0B^0-Bˉ0\bar{B}^0 mixing, AslA_{\rm sl}. The data were collected with the Belle detector at KEKB. Using a data sample of 78 fb1^{-1} recorded at the Υ(4S)\Upsilon(4S) resonance and 9 fb1^{-1} recorded at an energy 60 MeV below the resonance, we measure Asl=(1.1±7.9(stat)±7.0(sys))×103A_{\rm sl} = (-1.1 \pm 7.9(\text{stat}) \pm 7.0(\text{sys}))\times 10^{-3}.Comment: 21 pages, 9 figures, 3 tables, submitted to Physical Review

    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

    Full text link
    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.

    Improved Measurements of Partial Rate Asymmetry in B -> h h Decays

    Full text link
    We report improved measurements of the partial rate asymmetry (Acp) in B -> h h decays with 140fb^-1 of data collected with the Belle detector at the KEKB e+e- collider. Here h stands for a charged or neutral pion or kaon and in total five decay modes are included: K-+ pi+-, K0s pi-+, K-+ pi0, pi-+ pi0 and K0s pi0. The flavor of the last decay mode is determined from the accompanying B meson. Using a data sample 4.7 times larger than that of our previous measurement, we find Acp(K-+ pi+-) -0.088+-0.035+-0.013, 2.4 sigma from zero. Results for other decay modes are also presented.Comment: 9 pages, 1 figur

    Observation of Radiative Decay D0ϕγD^0 \to \phi \gamma

    Full text link
    We report the observation of the decay D0ϕγD^{0} \to \phi \gamma with a statistical significance of 5.4σ5.4\sigma in 78.1 \ifb of data collected by the Belle experiment at the KEKB e+ee^+ e^- collider. This is the first observation of a flavor-changing radiative decay of a charmed meson. The Cabibbo- and color-suppressed decays D0ϕπ0D^0 \to \phi \pi^0, ϕη\phi \eta are also observed for the first time. We measure branching fractions \br(D^{0} \to \phi \gamma) = [ 2.60^{+0.70}_{-0.61} \stat {}^{+0.15}_{-0.17} \syst ] \times 10^{-5}, \br(D^{0} \to \phi \pi^{0}) = [ 8.01 \pm 0.26 \stat \pm 0.47 \syst ] \times 10^{-4}, and \br(D^{0} \to \phi \eta) = [ 1.48 \pm 0.47 \stat \pm 0.09 \syst ] \times 10^{-4}.Comment: 9 pages, 4 figures, Belle Preprint 2003-24, KEK Preprint 2003-75, updated version of BELLE-CONF-0346 (contributed paper to the XXI International Symposium on Lepton and Photon Interactions at High Energies,Fermilab Aug 11-16,2003). to appear in Phys.

    Observation of Ds1(2536)+ -> D+pi-K+ and angular decomposition of Ds1(2536)+ -> D*+K0S

    Full text link
    Using 462/fb of e+e- annihilation data recorded by the Belle detector, we report the first observation of the decay Ds1(2536)+ -> D+pi-K+. The ratio of branching fractions B(Ds1+ -> D+pi-K+)/B(Ds1+ -> D*+K0) is measured to be (3.27+-0.18+-0.37)%. We also study the angular distributions in the Ds1(2536)+ -> D*+K0S decay and measure the ratio of D- and S-wave amplitudes. The S-wave dominates, with a partial width of Gamma_S/Gamma_total=0.72+-0.05+-0.01.Comment: Submitted to Phys.Rev.D 16 pages, 6 figures, 3 table

    Search for new charmonium states in the processes e+ e- --> J/psi D(*) D(*) at sqrt{s} ~ 10.6 GeV

    Full text link
    We present a study of the X(3940) state in the process e+e- -> J/psi D* Dbar. The X(3940) mass and width are measured to be (3942 +7 -6 +- 6)MeV/c^2 and Gamma=(37 + 26 - 15 +- 8 MeV. In the process e+e- -> J/psi D* D*bar we have observed another charmonium-like state, which we denote as X(4160), in the spectrum of invariant masses of D*+ D*- combinations. The X(4160) parameters are M= 4156 + 25 - 20 +- 15 MeV/c^2 and Gamma = 139 + 111 -61 +- 21 MeV. The analysis is based on a data sample with an integrated luminosity of 693 /fb recorded near the Upsilon(4S) resonance with the Belle detector at the KEKB e+ e- asymmetric-energy collider.Comment: 7 pages, 2 figures Contribution paper for conferences EPS2007 and Lepton Photon 2007, Belle-Conference-070

    Time-Dependent {\boldmath CPCP}-Violating Asymmetry in B0ρ0γB^0\to\rho^0\gamma Decays

    Full text link
    We report the first measurement of CP-violation parameters in B0ρ0γB^0\to\rho^0\gamma decays based on a data sample of 657×106BBˉ657\times 10^6 B\bar{B} pairs collected with the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric-energy e+ee^+ e^- collider. The flavor of the BB meson is identified from the decay products of the accompanying BB meson. We obtain the time-dependent and direct CP-violating parameters, \cals_{\rhoz\gamma} = -0.83\pm 0.65(stat)\pm 0.18(syst) and \cala_{\rhoz\gamma} = -0.44\pm 0.49(stat)\pm 0.14(syst), respectively.Comment: 8 pages, 2 figures, published in PR
