Production and detection of doubly charmed tetraquarks
The feasibility of tetraquark detection is studied. For the cc\bar{u}\bar{d}
tetraquark we show that in present (SELEX, Tevatron, RHIC) and future
facilities (LHCb, ALICE) the production rate is promising and we propose some
detectable decay channels.Comment: 6 pages, 5 figure
Exlusive charmed meson pair production
The experimental data of BELLE Collaboration on the exclusive charmed meson
pair production in the process of monophotonic -annihilation
() has been studied. It has been shown that
these data is described satisfactorily in the frame work of constituent quark
model. Our studies have demonstrated that the central production process
and the process of
monophotonic -annihilation yield comparable numbers of the charmed
meson pairs.Comment: 15 pages, 7 figures, RevTeX
Fully supersymmetric CP violations in the kaon system
We show that, on the contrary to the usual claims, fully supersymmetric CP
violations in the kaon system are possible through the gluino mediated flavor
changing interactions. Both and can be accommodated for relatively large without any
fine tunings or contradictions to the FCNC and EDM constraints.Comment: Contribution to the Proceedings of ICHEP2000, Osaka, 200
U(1) spin liquids and valence bond solids in a large-N three-dimensional Heisenberg model
We study possible quantum ground states of the Sp(N) generalized Heisenberg
model on a cubic lattice with nearest-neighbor and next-nearest-neighbor
exchange interactions. The phase diagram is obtained in the large-N limit and
fluctuation effects are considered via appropriate gauge theories. In
particular, we find three U(1) spin liquid phases with different short-range
magnetic correlations. These phases are characterized by deconfined gapped
spinons, gapped monopoles, and gapless ``photons''. As N becomes smaller, a
confinement transition from these phases to valence bond solids (VBS) may
occur. This transition is studied by using duality and analyzing the resulting
theory of monopoles coupled to a non-compact dual gauge field; the condensation
of the monopoles leads to VBS phases. We determine the resulting VBS phases
emerging from two of the three spin liquid states. On the other hand, the spin
liquid state near J_1 \approx J_2 appears to be more stable against monopole
condensation and could be a promising candidate for a spin liquid state in real
systems.Comment: revtex file 12 pages, 17 figure
Color-octet mechanism and J/psi polarization at LEP
Polarized heavy quarkonium productions in decays are considered. We
find that polarizations of the produced quarkonia are independent of that of
the parent Z^0 provided that one considers the energy distribution or the total
production rate. Produced J/psi's via the color-octet and the color- singlet
mechanisms are expected to be 19% and 29% longitudinally polarized,
respectively. The energy dependence of eta_{1,8}(x)=\frac{dGamma_{1,8}^L}{dx}
/\frac{dGamma_{1,8}}{d x} is very sensitive to the production mechanism, and
therefore the measurement of \eta(x)_exp will be an independent probe of the
color-octet mechanism.Comment: 15 pages, minor changes, version to be published in Phys. Rev.
Two-loop Barr-Zee type Contributions to in the MSSM
We consider the contribution of a two-loop Barr-Zee type diagram to
in the minimal supersymmetric standard model (MSSM). At relatively
large , we show that the contribution of light third generation
scalar fermions and neutral CP-even Higgs, , can easily explain the
very recent BNL experimental data. In our analysis prefers negative
and positive . It is more sensitive to the chirality flipping
h^0(H^0)\wt{f}_R^*\wt{f}_L rather than chirality conserving couplings.Comment: 10 pages, 5 figures, references adde
Supersymmetric Effects on Isospin Symmetry Breaking and Direct CP Violation in
We argue that one can search for physics beyond the standard model through
measurements of the isospin-violating quantity , its charge conjugate
, and direct CP violation in the partial decay rates of . We illustrate this by working out theoretical profiles of the
charge-conjugate averaged ratio and the CP asymmetry in the
standard model and in some variants of the minimal supersymmetric standard
model. We find that chargino contributions in the large region may
modify the magnitudes and flip the signs of and compared to their standard-model values, providing an
unmistakeable signature of supersymmetry.Comment: 10 pages, 7 figures (requires graphicx
B --> Phi K_S and Supersymmetry
The rare decay B --> Phi K_S is a well-known probe of physics beyond the
Standard Model because it arises only through loop effects yet has the same
time-dependent CP asymmetry as B --> Psi K_S. Motivated by recent data
suggesting new physics in B --> Phi K_S, we look to supersymmetry for possible
explanations, including contributions mediated by gluino loops and by Higgs
bosons. Chirality-preserving LL and RR gluino contributions are generically
small, unless gluinos and squarks masses are close to the current lower bounds.
Higgs contributions are also too small to explain a large asymmetry if we
impose the current upper limit on B(B_s --> mu mu). On the other hand,
chirality-flipping LR and RL gluino contributions can provide sizable effects
and while remaining consistent with related results in B --> Psi K_S, Delta
M_s, B --> X_s gamma and other processes. We discuss how the LR and RL
insertions can be distinguished using other observables, and we provide a
string-based model and other estimates to show that the needed sizes of mass
insertions are reasonable.Comment: 33 pages, 32 figures, Updated version for PRD. Includes discussions
of other recent works on this topic. Added discussions & plots for gluino
mass dependence and effects of theoretical uncertaintie
