Quark recombination model for polarizations in inclusive hyperon productions at high energy

We investigate the transverse polarization of hyperons produced by the photon induced reactions using the quark recombination model. This model reproduces polarizations of hadrons produced by the hadron-hadron collisions and accounts for the origin of the empirical rule by DeGrand and Miettinen. We find significant polarizations in the hyperon photoproduction by applying this model to the \gamma N \ra \Lam $(\Sigma^{0}) + X$ reaction.Comment: Latex, 6 page with 6 figures, to be published in proceedings of APCTP Workshop on "Strangeness Nuclear Physics", Feb. 19-22, Seoul, Kore

Charmonium ground and excited states at finite temperature from complex Borel sum rules

Charmonium spectral functions in vector and pseudoscalar channels at finite temperature are investigated through the complex Borel sum rules and the maximum entropy method. Our approach enables us to extract the peaks corresponding to the excited charmonia, $\psi^\prime$ and $\eta_c^\prime$, as well as those of the ground states, $J/\psi$ and $\eta_c$, which has never been achieved in usual QCD sum rule analyses. We show the spectral functions in vacuum and their thermal modification around the critical temperature, which leads to the almost simultaneous melting (or peak disappearance) of the ground and excited states.Comment: 6 pages, 4 figures; published versio
