SU(3)-Flavor-Analysis of Nonfactorizable Contributions to Decays
We study charm D - meson decays to two pseudoscalar mesons in Cabibbo favored
mode employing SU(3)-flavor for the nonfactorizable matrix elements. Using
and to fix the reduced
matrix elements, we obtain a consistent fit for and emitting
decays of and mesons.Comment: Latex, 13 page
Two-Body Cabibbo-Suppressed Charmed Meson Decays
Singly-Cabibbo-suppressed decays of charmed particles governed by the quark
subprocesses and are analyzed using a
flavor-topology approach, based on a previous analysis of the Cabibbo-favored
decays governed by . Decays to and , where is a
pseudoscalar meson and is a vector meson, are considered. We include

Magnetic Moments of Heavy Baryons Using Effective Mass and Screened Charge Scheme
Magnetic moments of heavy charmed baryons with are predicted
employing the concept of effective quark mass and screened charge of quark. We
also extend our scheme to predict the transition magnetic
moments. A comparison of our results with the predictions obtained in recent
models is presented.Comment: 19 pages, Accepted for publication in EPJ-
Flavour structure of low-energy hadron pair photoproduction
We consider the process where and
are either mesons or baryons. The experimental findings for such quantities as
the and differential cross sections, in the energy range
currently probed, are found often to be in disparity with the scaling behaviour
expected from hard constituent scattering. We discuss the long-distance
pole--resonance contribution in understanding the origin of these phenomena, as
well as the amplitude relations governing the short-distance contribution which
we model as a scaling contribution. When considering the latter, we argue that
the difference found for the and the integrated cross
sections can be attributed to the s-channel isovector component. This
corresponds to the subprocess in the VMD
(vector-meson-dominance) language. The ratio of the two cross sections is
enhanced by the suppression of the component, and is hence constrained.
We give similar constraints to a number of other hadron pair production
channels. After writing down the scaling and pole--resonance contributions
accordingly, the direct summation of the two contributions is found to
reproduce some salient features of the and data.Comment: 12 pages, 9 figures, revised version to be published in EPJ
Study of Bc --> J/psi pi, etac pi decays with perturbative QCD approach
The Bc --> J/psi pi, etac pi decays are studied with the perturbative QCD
approach. It is found that form factors and branching ratios are sensitive to
the parameters w, v, f_J/psi and f_etac, where w and v are the parameters of
the charmonium wave functions for Coulomb potential and harmonic oscillator
potential, respectively, f_J/psi and f_etac are the decay constants of the
J/psi and etac mesons, respectively. The large branching ratios and the clear
signals of the final states make the Bc --> J/psi pi, etac pi decays to be the
prospective channels for measurements at the hadron collidersComment: 21 pages, revtex
Final-State Phases in Charmed Meson Two-Body Nonleptonic Decays
Observed decay rates indicate large phase differences among the amplitudes
for the charge states in and but
relatively real amplitudes in the charge states for . This
feature is traced using an SU(3) flavor analysis to a sign flip in the
contribution of one of the amplitudes contributing to the latter processes in
comparison with its contribution to the other two sets. This amplitude may be
regarded as an effect of rescattering and is found to be of magnitude
comparable to others contributing to charmed particle two-body nonleptonic
decays.Comment: 19 pages, latex, 4 figures, to be submitted to Phys. Rev.
Radiative transitions among the vector and scalar heavy quarkonium states with covariant light-front quark model
In this article, we study the radiative transitions among the vector and
scalar heavy quarkonium states with the covariant light-front quark model. In
calculations, we observe that the radiative decay widths are sensitive to the
constituent quark masses and the shape parameters of the wave-functions, and
reproduce the experimental data with suitable parameters.Comment: 11 pages, 7 figure
