    On the Emergence of Nonextensivity at the Edge of Quantum Chaos

    Full text link
    We explore the border between regular and chaotic quantum dynamics, characterized by a power law decrease in the overlap between a state evolved under chaotic dynamics and the same state evolved under a slightly perturbed dynamics. This region corresponds to the edge of chaos for the classical map from which the quantum chaotic dynamics is derived and can be characterized via nonextensive entropy concepts.Comment: Invited paper to appear in "Decoherence and Entropy in Complex Systems", ed.

    A Comprehensive Study of the Radiative Decays of J/ψJ/\psi and ψ(2S)\psi(2S) to Pseudoscalar Meson Pairs, and Search for Glueballs

    Using 53 pb−1^{-1} of e+e−e^+e^- annihilation data taken at s=3.686\sqrt{s}=3.686 GeV, a comprehensive study has been made of the radiative decays of samples of 5.1 million J/ψJ/\psi and 24.5 million ψ(2S)\psi(2S) into pairs of pseudoscalar mesons, π+π−\pi^+\pi^-, π0π0\pi^0\pi^0, K+K−K^+K^-, KS0KS0K_S^0K_S^0, and ηη\eta\eta. Product branching fractions for the radiative decays of J/ψJ/\psi and ψ(2S)\psi(2S) to scalar resonances f0(1370,1500,1710,2100,and2200)f_0(1370,1500,1710,2100, \text{and} 2200), and tensor resonances f2(1270,1525,and2230)f_2(1270,1525, \text{and} 2230) have been determined, and are discussed in relation to predicted glueballs. For ψ(2S)\psi(2S) radiative decays the search for glueballs has been extended to masses between 2.5 GeV and 3.3 GeV.Comment: 21 pages, 14 figures, published in PR
