Rigid supersymmetry with boundaries
We construct rigidly supersymmetric bulk-plus-boundary actions, both in
-space and in superspace. For each standard supersymmetric bulk action a
minimal supersymmetric bulk-plus-boundary action follows from an extended -
or -term formula. Additional separately supersymmetric boundary actions can
be systematically constructed using co-dimension one multiplets (boundary
superfields). We also discuss the orbit of boundary conditions which follow
from the Euler-Lagrange variational principle.Comment: 28 pages, JHEP clas
-pair Production in the Littlest Higgs Model with T parity in next-to-leading order QCD at LHC
In the framework of the littlest Higgs model with parity, we study the
-pair production at the CERN Large Hadron Collider up to the QCD
next-to-leading order (NLO). The kinematic distributions of final decay
products and the theoretical dependence of the cross section on the
factorization/renormalization scale are analyzed. We adopt the PROSPINO scheme
in the QCD NLO calculations to avoid double counting and keep the convergence
of the perturbative QCD description. Our numerical results show that the QCD
NLO corrections significantly reduce the scale uncertainty, and enhance the
leading order integrated cross section with a -factor in the range of
() with the symmetry breaking scale varying from
() to () at the LHC.
We find that it is possible to select the signal events of the -pair
production from the
background with high ratio of signature over background by taking proper lower
limits on transverse momenta, invariant mass of the final charged leptons and
the missing transverse momentum.Comment: 34 pages, 14 figures, 4 table
Generalized Density Matrix Revisited: Microscopic Approach to Collective Dynamics in Soft Spherical Nuclei
The generalized density matrix (GDM) method is used to calculate
microscopically the parameters of the collective Hamiltonian. Higher order
anharmonicities are obtained consistently with the lowest order results, the
mean field [Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov (HFB) equation] and the harmonic potential
[quasiparticle random phase approximation (QRPA)]. The method is applied to
soft spherical nuclei, where the anharmonicities are essential for restoring
the stability of the system, as the harmonic potential becomes small or
negative. The approach is tested in three models of increasing complexity: the
Lipkin model, model with factorizable forces, and the quadrupole plus pairing
model.Comment: submitted to Physical Review C on 08 May, 201
Single top quarks at the Fermilab Tevatron
We present a calculation of the single top quark cross section for
proton-antiproton interactions with sqrt(s) = 1.8 TeV at the Fermilab Tevatron
collider. We examine the effects of top mass, parton distribution functions,
QCD scale, and collision energy, on each of the component production
mechanisms, and study the kinematic distributions for standard model
electroweak production. At the upgraded Tevatron with sqrt(s) = 2.0 TeV and
high luminosity, it will be possible to test the nature of the Wtb coupling
using single top production. We estimate the sensitivity to measure the single
top cross section, and thus to directly measure V_tb and the top quark partial
width. We show what happens to the V_tb measurement when an anomalous (V+A)
component is added to the Wtb coupling, and how the top quark polarization
affects the kinematic distributions.Comment: 31 pages including 11 figure
Magnetic Moments of Heavy Baryons in Light Cone QCD Sum Rules
The magnetic moments of heavy baryons containing a single charm or

Pion quark structure in QCD
We describe the present status of the pion distribution amplitude as it
originated from two sources: (i) a nonperturbative approach, based on QCD sum
rules with nonlocal condensates and (ii) a NLO QCD analysis of the CLEO data on
F^{\gamma\gamma^*\pi}(Q^2), supplemented by the recent high-precision lattice
calculations of the second moment of the pion distribution amplitude.Comment: 4 pages, 2 figures, talk at the 9th International Workshop on Meson

Twist-3 distribution amplitudes of scalar mesons from QCD sum rules
We study the twist-3 distribution amplitudes for scalar mesons made up of two
valence quarks based on QCD sum rules.
By choosing the proper correlation functions, we derive the moments of the
scalar mesons up to the first two order. Making use of these moments, we then
calculate the first two Gegenbauer coefficients for twist-3 distribution
amplitudes of scalar mesons. It is found that the second Gegenbauer
coefficients of scalar density twist-3 distribution amplitudes for
and mesons are quite close to that for , which indicates that the
SU(3) symmetry breaking effect is tiny here. However, this effect could not be
neglected for the forth Gegenbauer coefficients of scalar twist-3 distribution
amplitudes between and . Besides, we also observe that the first two
Gegenbauer coefficients corresponding to the tensor current twist-3
distribution amplitudes for all the , and are very small.
The renormalization group evolution of condensates, quark masses, decay
constants and moments are considered in our calculations. As a byproduct, it is
found that the masses for isospin I=1, scalar mesons are around
GeV and GeV respectively, while the mass for
isospin state composed of is GeV.Comment: replaced with revised version, to be published in Phys. Rev.
Nuclear Schiff moment in nuclei with soft octupole and quadrupole vibrations
Nuclear forces violating parity and time reversal invariance (-odd) produce -odd nuclear moments, for example, the
nuclear Schiff moment. In turn, this moment can induce the electric dipole
moment in the atom. The nuclear Schiff moment is predicted to be enhanced in
nuclei with static quadrupole and octupole deformation. The analogous
suggestion of the enhanced contribution to the Schiff moment from the soft
collective quadrupole and octupole vibrations in spherical nuclei is tested in
this article in the framework of the quasiparticle random phase approximation
with separable quadrupole and octupole forces applied to the odd Ra
and Rn isotopes. We confirm the existence of the enhancement effect
due to the soft modes. However, in the standard approximation the enhancement
is strongly reduced by a small weight of the corresponding "particle + phonon"
component in a complicated wave function of a soft nucleus. The perspectives of
a better description of the structure of heavy soft nuclei are discussed.Comment: 27 pages, 3 figures, minor corrections in references adde
