Electroweak radiative corrections to triple photon production at the ILC
In this paper, we present the precision predictions for three photon
production in the standard model (SM) at the ILC including the full
next-to-leading (NLO) electroweak (EW) corrections, high order initial state
radiation (h.o.ISR) contributions and beamstrahlung effects. We present the LO
and the NLO EW+h.o.ISR+beamstrahlung corrected total cross sections for various
colliding energy when and the kinematic
distributions of final photons with at ILC, and find
that the NLO EW corrections, the h.o.ISR contributions and the beamstrahlung
effects are important in exploring the process .Comment: 6 pages, 8 figures, accepted for publication in Physics Letters
Establishing low-lying doubly charmed baryons
We systematically study the -wave doubly charmed baryons using the method
of QCD sum rules. Our results suggest that the recently
observed by LHCb can be well identified as the -wave state of
. We study its relevant state, whose mass is
predicted to be around 3.7 GeV. We also systematically study the -wave
doubly charmed baryons, whose masses are predicted to be around 4.1 GeV.
Especially, there can be several excited doubly charmed baryons in this energy
region, and we suggest to search for them in order to study the fine structure
of the strong interaction.Comment: 6 pages, 2 figures, 1 table; A mistake was found when evaluating
decay constants of the S-wave charmed baryons. The conclusion is not change
Empirical metallicity-dependent calibrations of effective temperature against colours for dwarfs and giants based on interferometric data
We present empirical metallicity-dependent calibrations of effective
temperature against colours for dwarfs of luminosity classes IV and V and for
giants of luminosity classes II and III, based on a collection from the
literature of about two hundred nearby stars with direct effective temperature
measurements of better than 2.5 per cent. The calibrations are valid for an
effective temperature range 3,100 - 10,000 K for dwarfs of spectral types M5 to
A0 and 3,100 - 5,700 K for giants of spectral types K5 to G5. A total of
twenty-one colours for dwarfs and eighteen colours for giants of bands of four
photometric systems, i.e. the Johnson (), the Cousins
(), the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS, ) and the Two
Micron All Sky Survey (2MASS, ), have been calibrated. Restricted
by the metallicity range of the current sample, the calibrations are mainly
applicable for disk stars ([Fe/H]). The normalized percentage
residuals of the calibrations are typically 2.0 and 1.5 per cent for dwarfs and
giants, respectively. Some systematic discrepancies at various levels are found
between the current scales and those available in the literature (e.g. those
based on the infrared flux method IRFM or spectroscopy). Based on the current
calibrations, we have re-determined the colours of the Sun. We have also
investigated the systematic errors in effective temperatures yielded by the
current on-going large scale low- to intermediate-resolution stellar
spectroscopic surveys. We show that the calibration of colour ()
presented in the current work provides an invaluable tool for the estimation of
stellar effective temperature for those on-going or upcoming surveys.Comment: 28 pages, 19 figures, 8 tables, accepted for publication in MNRA
P-wave charmed baryons from QCD sum rules
We study the P-wave charmed baryons using the method of QCD sum rule in the
framework of heavy quark effective theory (HQET). We consider systematically
all possible baryon currents with a derivative for internal rho- and
lambda-mode excitations. We have found a good working window for the currents
corresponding to the rho-mode excitations for Lambda_c(2595), Lambda_c(2625),
Xi_c(2790) and Xi_c(2815) which complete two SU(3) 3F_bar multiplets of
J(P)=1/2(-) and 3/2(-), while the currents corresponding to the lambda-mode
excitations seem also consistent with the data. Our results also suggest that
there are two Sigma_c(2800) states of J(P)=1/2(-) and 3/2(-) whose mass
splitting is 14 \pm 7 MeV, and two Xi_c(2980) states whose mass splitting is 12
\pm 7 MeV. They have two Omega_c partners of J(P) = 1/2(-) and 3/2(-), whose
masses are around 3.25 \pm 0.20 GeV with mass splitting 10 \pm 6 MeV. All of
them together complete two SU(3) 6F multiplets of J(P)=1/2(-) and 3/2(-). They
may also have J(P)=5/2(-) partners. Xi_c(3080) may be one of them, and the
other two are Sigma_c(5/2(-)) and Omega_c(5/2(-)), whose masses are 85 \pm 23
and 50 \pm 27 MeV larger.Comment: 20 pages, 7 figures, accepted by PR
Possible origin of -relaxation in amorphous metal alloys from atomic-mass differences of the constituents
We employ an atomic-scale theory within the framework of nonaffine lattice
dynamics to uncover the origin of the Johari-Goldstein (JG) -relaxation
in metallic glasses (MGs). Combining simulation and experimental data with our
theoretical approach, we reveal that the large mass asymmetry between the
elements in a LaNiAl MG leads to a clear separation in the
respective relaxation time scales, giving strong evidence that JG relaxation is
controlled by the lightest atomic species present. Moreover, we show that only
qualitative features of the vibrational density of states determine the overall
observed mechanical response of the glass, paving the way for a possible
unified theory of secondary relaxations in glasses
Decay properties of -wave charmed baryons from light-cone QCD sum rules
We study decay properties of the -wave charmed baryons using the method of
light-cone QCD sum rules, including the -wave decays of the flavor
-wave charmed baryons into ground-state charmed baryons
accompanied by a pseudoscalar meson ( or ) or a vector meson ( or
), and the -wave decays of the flavor -wave charmed
baryons into ground-state charmed baryons accompanied by a pseudoscalar meson
( or ). We study both two-body and three-body decays which are
kinematically allowed. We find two mixing solutions from internal - and
-mode excitations, which can well describe both masses and decay
properties of the , , and
. We also discuss the possible interpretations of -wave charmed
baryons for the , , , and the
recently observed , , ,

Multiwavelength Bulge-Disk Decomposition for the Galaxy M81 (NGC 3031). I. Morphology
A panchromatic investigation of morphology for the early-type spiral galaxy
M81 is presented in this paper. We perform bulge-disk decomposition in M81
images at totally 20 wavebands from FUV to NIR obtained with GALEX, Swift,
SDSS, WIYN, 2MASS, WISE, and Spitzer. Morphological parameters such as Sersic
index, effective radius, position angle, and axis ratio for the bulge and the
disk are thus derived at all the wavebands, which enables quantifying the
morphological K-correction for M81 and makes it possible to reproduce images
for the bulge and the disk in the galaxy at any waveband. The morphology as a
function of wavelength appears as a variable-slope trend of the Sersic index
and the effective radius, in which the variations are steep at UV--optical and
shallow at optical--NIR bands; the position angle and the axis ratio keep
invariable at least at optical--NIR bands. It is worth noting that, the Sersic
index for the bulge reaches to about 4--5 at optical and NIR bands, but drops
to about 1 at UV bands. This difference brings forward a caveat that, a
classical bulge is likely misidentified for a pseudo-bulge or no bulge at high
redshifts where galaxies are observed through rest-frame UV channels with
optical telescopes. The next work of this series is planned to study spatially
resolved SEDs for the bulge and the disk, respectively, and thereby explore
stellar population properties and star formation/quenching history for the the
galaxy composed of the subsystems.Comment: 48 Pages, 38 Figures, 5 Tables; Accepted for Publication in The
