S-D Mixing and Searching for the psi(1P1) State at the Beijing Electron-Positron Coolider

The psi(1P1) state can be produced at the Beijing Electron-Positron Collider (BEPC) in the process psi'-->psi(1P1)+pi(0). We calculate the rate of this process taking account of the S-D mixing effect in psi'. It is shown that the rate is about a factor of 3 smaller than the simple result without considering the S-D mixing effect. Possible detecting channels are suggested and it is shown that psi(1P1) is able to be found with the accumulation of 30 million events of psi' at BEPC.Comment: 9-page RevTex file.

Hadronic Transition chi(c1)(1P) to eta(c) plus two pions at the Beijing Spectrometer BES and the Cornell CLEO-c

Hadronic transitions of the chi(cj)(1P) states have not been studied yet. We calculate the rate of the hadronic transition chi(c1)(1P) to eta(c) plus two pions in the framework of QCD multipole expansion. We show that this process can be studied experimentally at the upgraded Beijing Spectrometer BES III and the Cornell CLEO-c.Comment: 6 pages RevTex4(two-column). Version published in Phys. Rev.

Longitudinal/Goldstone boson equivalence and phenomenology of probing the electroweak symmetry breaking

We formulate the equivalence between the longitudinal weak-boson and the Goldstone boson as a criterion for sensitively probing the electroweak symmetry breaking mechanism and develop a precise power counting rule for chiral Lagrangian formulated electroweak theories. With these we semi-quatitatively analyze the sensitivities to various effective operators related to electrowaeak symmetry breaking via weak-boson scatterings at the CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC).Comment: 6 pages, LaTex, 1 postscript figure included using psfig.te
