Multiquark states as di-hadronic molecules
Multiquark systems such as tetraquarks, pentaquarks and hexaquarks states are
studied as di-hadronic molecules in a nonrelativistic model. The masses of
several di-hadronic states using a molecular interaction provided by asymptotic
expression of the confined gluon exchange potential are computed. The exotic
states such as f (0.982), f (1.565), f (1.950), X(3.87), D
(2.317, 2.460, 2.632), (4.040) etc are identified as the low lying
di-mesonic states, and (1.54) as a molecular state.Comment: 4 pages, Presented in the Fifth International Conference on

Production and Decay of D_1(2420)^0 and D_2^*(2460)^0
We have investigated and final states and
observed the two established charmed mesons, the with mass
MeV/c and width MeV/c and
the with mass MeV/c and width
MeV/c. Properties of these final states, including
their decay angular distributions and spin-parity assignments, have been
studied. We identify these two mesons as the doublet predicted
by HQET. We also obtain constraints on {\footnotesize } as a function of the cosine of the relative phase of the two
amplitudes in the decay.Comment: 15 pages in REVTEX format. hardcopies with figures can be obtained by

Measurement of the branching fraction for
We have studied the leptonic decay of the resonance into tau
pairs using the CLEO II detector. A clean sample of tau pair events is
identified via events containing two charged particles where exactly one of the
particles is an identified electron. We find . The result is consistent with
expectations from lepton universality.Comment: 9 pages, RevTeX, two Postscript figures available upon request, CLNS

Study of the B^0 Semileptonic Decay Spectrum at the Upsilon(4S) Resonance
We have made a first measurement of the lepton momentum spectrum in a sample
of events enriched in neutral B's through a partial reconstruction of B0 -->
D*- l+ nu. This spectrum, measured with 2.38 fb**-1 of data collected at the
Upsilon(4S) resonance by the CLEO II detector, is compared directly to the
inclusive lepton spectrum from all Upsilon(4S) events in the same data set.
These two spectra are consistent with having the same shape above 1.5 GeV/c.
From the two spectra and two other CLEO measurements, we obtain the B0 and B+
semileptonic branching fractions, b0 and b+, their ratio, and the production
ratio f+-/f00 of B+ and B0 pairs at the Upsilon(4S). We report b+/b0=0.950
(+0.117-0.080) +- 0.091, b0 = (10.78 +- 0.60 +- 0.69)%, and b+ = (10.25 +- 0.57
+- 0.65)%. b+/b0 is equivalent to the ratio of charged to neutral B lifetimes,
tau+/tau0.Comment: 14 page, postscript file also available at

Measurement of the Decay Asymmetry Parameters in and
We have measured the weak decay asymmetry parameters (\aLC ) for two \LC\
decay modes. Our measurements are \aLC = -0.94^{+0.21+0.12}_{-0.06-0.06} for
the decay mode and \aLC = -0.45\pm 0.31 \pm
0.06 for the decay mode . By combining these
measurements with the previously measured decay rates, we have extracted the
parity-violating and parity-conserving amplitudes. These amplitudes are used to
test models of nonleptonic charmed baryon decay.Comment: 11 pages including the figures. Uses REVTEX and psfig macros. Figures

Analysis of LIGO data for gravitational waves from binary neutron stars
We report on a search for gravitational waves from coalescing compact binary
systems in the Milky Way and the Magellanic Clouds. The analysis uses data
taken by two of the three LIGO interferometers during the first LIGO science
run and illustrates a method of setting upper limits on inspiral event rates
using interferometer data. The analysis pipeline is described with particular
attention to data selection and coincidence between the two interferometers. We
establish an observational upper limit of 1.7 \times 10^{2}M_\odot$.Comment: 17 pages, 9 figure
Asymptotic stability of solitary waves
We show that the family of solitary waves (1-solitons) of the Korteweg-de Vries equation is asymptotically stable. Our methods also apply for the solitary waves of a class of generalized Korteweg-de Vries equations, In particular, we study the case where f(u)=u p+1 / (p+1) , p =1, 2, 3 (and 30, with f ∈ C 4 ). The same asymptotic stability result for KdV is also proved for the case p =2 (the modified Korteweg-de Vries equation). We also prove asymptotic stability for the family of solitary waves for all but a finite number of values of p between 3 and 4. (The solitary waves are known to undergo a transition from stability to instability as the parameter p increases beyond the critical value p =4.) The solution is decomposed into a modulating solitary wave, with time-varying speed c(t) and phase γ( t ) ( bound state part ), and an infinite dimensional perturbation ( radiating part ). The perturbation is shown to decay exponentially in time, in a local sense relative to a frame moving with the solitary wave. As p →4 − , the local decay or radiation rate decreases due to the presence of a resonance pole associated with the linearized evolution equation for solitary wave perturbations.Peer Reviewedhttp://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/46489/1/220_2005_Article_BF02101705.pd
