Study of the weak annihilation contributions in charmless Bs→VVB_s\to VV decays

In this paper, in order to probe the spectator-scattering and weak annihilation contributions in charmless $B_s\to VV$ (where $V$ stands for a light vector meson) decays, we perform the $\chi^2$-analyses for the end-point parameters within the QCD factorization framework, under the constraints from the measured $\bar B_{s}\to$$\rho^0\phi$, $\phi K^{*0}$, $\phi \phi$ and $K^{*0}\bar K^{*0}$ decays. The fitted results indicate that the end-point parameters in the factorizable and nonfactorizable annihilation topologies are non-universal, which is also favored by the charmless $B\to PP$ and $PV$ (where $P$ stands for a light pseudo-scalar meson) decays observed in the previous work. Moreover, the abnormal polarization fractions $f_{L,\bot}(\bar B_{s}\to K^{*0}\bar K^{*0})=(20.1\pm7.0)\%\,,(58.4\pm8.5)\%$ measured by the LHCb collaboration can be reconciled through the weak annihilation corrections. However, the branching ratio of $\bar B_{s}\to\phi K^{*0}$ decay exhibits a tension between the data and theoretical result, which dominates the contributions to $\chi_{\rm min}^2$ in the fits. Using the fitted end-point parameters, we update the theoretical results for the charmless $B_s\to VV$ decays, which will be further tested by the LHCb and Belle-II experiments in the near future.Comment: 31 pages, 4 figures, 6 table

Interdimensional degeneracies for a quantum NN-body system in DD dimensions

Complete spectrum of exact interdimensional degeneracies for a quantum $N$-body system in $D$-dimensions is presented by the method of generalized spherical harmonic polynomials. In an $N$-body system all the states with angular momentum $[\mu+n]$ in $(D-2n)$ dimensions are degenerate where $[\mu]$ and $D$ are given and $n$ is an arbitrary integer if the representation $[\mu+n]$ exists for the SO($D-2n$) group and $D-2n\geq N$. There is an exceptional interdimensional degeneracy for an $N$-body system between the state with zero angular momentum in $D=N-1$ dimensions and the state with zero angular momentum in $D=N+1$ dimensions.Comment: 8 pages, no figure, RevTex, Accepted by EuroPhys.Let

Tentative evidence of spatially extended GeV emission from SS433/W50

We analyze 10 years of Fermi-LAT data towards the SS433/W50 region. With the latest source catalog and diffuse background models, the gamma-ray excess from SS433/W50 is detected with a significance of 6{\sigma} in the photon energy range of 500 MeV - 10 GeV. Our analysis indicates that an extended flat disk morphology is preferred over a point-source description, suggesting that the GeV emission region is much larger than that of the TeV emission detected by HAWC. The size of the GeV emission is instead consistent with the extent of the radio nebula W50, a supernova remnant being distorted by the jets, so we suggest that the GeV emission may originate from this supernova remnant. The spectral result of the GeV emission is also consistent with an supernova remnant origin. We also derive the GeV flux upper limits on the TeV emission region, which put moderate constrains on the leptonic models to explain the multiwavelength data.Comment: 7 pages, 4 figures, accepted for publication in A&

A Novel Data Association Algorithm for Unequal Length Fluctuant Sequence

AbstractThere are quantities of such sensors as radar, ESM, navigator in aerospace areas and the sequence data is the most ordinary data in sensor domain. How to mine the information of these data has attracted a great interest in data mining. But sequence data is easily interfered and produces some fluctuant points. When dealing with these sequences, traditional sequence similarity measurement such as Euclidean distance arises large error, especially for unequal length fluctuant sequence. A novel average weight 1-norm unequal length fluctuant sequence similarity measurement algorithm based on dynamic time warping (DTW) is proposed to solve this problem. It constructs an absolute distance matrix based on DTW firstly, then weight average weight 1-norm and modify it with modifying factor to measure the distance of unequal length fluctuant sequence. It solves the fluctuation sensitivity of maximum distance measurement algorithm. Finally transform distance to similarity as the index of the association, associate the sequence data according to the maximum similarity association rule. Simulation results show the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm when associating unequal length fluctuant sequence, association rate is above 70% and simulate the effect of variation of the sequence length, fluctuant rate and processing time to the proposed algorithm

First Total Synthesis of a Naturally Occurring Iodinated 5′-Deoxyxylofuranosyl Marine Nucleoside

4-Amino-7-(5′-deoxy-β-D-xylofuranosyl)-5-iodo-pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidine 1, an unusual naturally occurring marine nucleoside isolated from an ascidan, Diplosoma sp., was synthesized from D-xylose in seven steps with 28% overall yield on 10 g scale. The key step was Vorbrüggen glycosylation of 5-iodo-pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidine with 5-deoxy-1,2-O-diacetyl-3-O-benzoyl-D-xylofuranose. Its absolute configuration was confirmed

2-(2-Bromo­eth­yl)isoindoline-1,3-dione

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, C10H8BrNO2, contains three crystallographically independent mol­ecules. Two of the N—C—C—Br side chains adopt anti conformations [torsion angles = −179.8 (5) and −179.4 (4)°] and the other is gauche [−66.5 (6)°]. The crystal structure features short Br⋯O [3.162 (5) Å] contacts, C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds and numerous π–π stacking inter­actions [centroid–centroid separations = 3.517 (4)–3.950 (4) Å]
