Relating color discrimination to photopigment genes in deutan observers
AbstractDeutan observers are a heterogeneous group, varying nearly continuously from deuteranomalous trichromats with fine chromatic discrimination in the red/green range to deuteranopes who have none. We sought to relate chromatic discriminative ability among deutans measured psychophysically (phenotypes) to observers' separation between long-wave visual pigments inferred from visual pigment genes (genotypes). If middle-wave pigment genes are assumed not to be expressed in these deutan observers there is a clear relation between phenotype and genotype
Does the enhancement observed in contain two -wave higher charmonia?
Solved is a new puzzle raised by the observation of an enhancement structure
Z(3930) in . If categorizing Z(3930) as
suggested by Belle and BaBar, we must explain why
dominantly decaying into is missing in the
invariant mass spectrum. In this work, we propose that the Z(3930)
enhancement structure may contain two -wave higher charmonia
{} and . We show that this assumption is
supported by our analysis of the invariant mass spectrum and
distribution of . This observation
would not only provide valuable information of two P-wave higher charmonia
and , but also serve as the crucial test of our
novel proposal to the observed enhancement structure Z(3930), especially at the
forthcoming BelleII and the approved SuperB.Comment: 5 pages, 2 tables, 3 figures. More contents and discussions adde
Understanding the newly observed Y(4008) by Belle
Very recently a new enhancement around 4.05 GeV was observed by Belle
experiment. In this short note, we discuss some possible assignments for this
enhancement, i.e. and molecular state. In these two
assignments, Y(4008) can decay into with comparable
branching ratio with that of . Thus one suggests
high energy experimentalists to look for Y(4008) in channel.
Furthermore one proposes further experiments to search missing channel
, and especially and
, which will be helpful to distinguish and
molecular state assignments for this new enhancement.Comment: 4 pages, 5 figures. Typos correcte
Transport Measurements on Nano-engineered Two Dimensional Superconducting Wire Networks
Superconducting triangular Nb wire networks with high normal-state resistance
are fabricated by using a negative tone hydrogen silsesquioxane (HSQ) resist.
Robust magnetoresistance oscillations are observed up to high magnetic fields
and maintained at low temperatures, due to the eective reduction of wire
dimensions. Well-defined dips appear at integral and rational values (1/2, 1/3,
1/4) of the reduced flux f = Phi/Phi_0, which is the first observation in the
triangular wire networks. These results are well consistent with theoretical
calculations for the reduced critical temperature as a function of f.Comment: 4 pages, 3 figure
The open-charm radiative and pionic decays of molecular charmonium Y(4274)
In this work, we investigate the decay widths and the line shapes of the
open-charm radiative and pionic decays of Y(4274) with the
molecular charmonium assignment. Our calculation
indicates that the decay widths of and
can reach up to 0.05 keV and 0.75 keV,
respectively. In addition, the result of the line shape of the photon spectrum
of shows that there exists a very sharp
peak near the large end point of photon energy. The line shape of the pion
spectrum of is similar to that of the pion
spectrum of , where we also find a very
sharp peak near the large end point of pion energy. According to our
calculation, we suggest further experiments to carry out the search for the
open-charm radiative and pionic decays of Y(4274).Comment: 7 pages, 6 figures, 1 table. Published versio
Stability of the Minimal Heterotic Standard Model Bundle
The observable sector of the "minimal heterotic standard model" has precisely
the matter spectrum of the MSSM: three families of quarks and leptons, each
with a right-handed neutrino, and one Higgs-Higgs conjugate pair. In this
paper, it is explicitly proven that the SU(4) holomorphic vector bundle leading
to the MSSM spectrum in the observable sector is slope-stable.Comment: LaTeX, 19 page
Neutral top-pion and lepton flavor violating processes
In the context of topcolor-assisted techicolor(TC2) models, we study the
contributions of the neutral top-pion to the lepton flavor
violating(LFV) processes and .
We find that the present experimental bound on gives severe
constraints on the free parameters of models. Taking into account these
constraints, we consider the processes generated by
top-pion exchange at the tree-level and the one loop level, and obtain
, , in most of
the parameter space.Comment: latex files,16 pages, 6 figures. Submitted to Phys. Rev.
Relation Between Chiral Susceptibility and Solutions of Gap Equation in Nambu--Jona-Lasinio Model
We study the solutions of the gap equation, the thermodynamic potential and
the chiral susceptibility in and beyond the chiral limit at finite chemical
potential in the Nambu--Jona-Lasinio (NJL) model. We give an explicit relation
between the chiral susceptibility and the thermodynamic potential in the NJL
model. We find that the chiral susceptibility is a quantity being able to
represent the furcation of the solutions of the gap equation and the
concavo-convexity of the thermodynamic potential in NJL model. It indicates
that the chiral susceptibility can identify the stable state and the
possibility of the chiral phase transition in NJL model.Comment: 21 pages, 6 figures, misprints are correcte
Analysis of the radiative decays among the charmonium states
In this article, we study the radiative decays among the charmonium states
with the heavy quark effective theory, and make predictions for the ratios
among the radiative decay widths of an special multiplet to another multiplet.
The predictions can be confronted with the experimental data in the future and
put additional constraints in identifying the , , charmonium-like
mesons.Comment: 12 pages, revised revisio
The spectrum of BPS branes on a noncompact Calabi-Yau
We begin the study of the spectrum of BPS branes and its variation on lines
of marginal stability on O_P^2(-3), a Calabi-Yau ALE space asymptotic to
C^3/Z_3. We show how to get the complete spectrum near the large volume limit
and near the orbifold point, and find a striking similarity between the
descriptions of holomorphic bundles and BPS branes in these two limits. We use
these results to develop a general picture of the spectrum. We also suggest a
generalization of some of the ideas to the quintic Calabi-Yau.Comment: harvmac, 45 pp. (v2: added references
