Affleck-Dine Baryogenesis, Split Supersymmetry, and Inflation
It is shown that, in the context of split supersymmetry, a simple model with
a single complex scalar field can produce chaotic inflation and generate the
observed amount of baryon asymmetry via the Affleck-Dine mechanism. While the
inflaton quantum fluctuations give rise to curvature perturbation, we show that
quantum fluctuations of the phase of the scalar field can produce baryonic
isocurvature perturbation. Combining with constraints from WMAP data, all
parameters in the model can be determined to within a narrow range.Comment: version accepted for publication in PR
Weak phases from the , decays
Recent data of two-body nonleptonic meson decays allow a
topological-amplitude analysis up to the accuracy, where
denotes the Wolfenstein parameter. We find a solution from the
data and a solution from the data, which satisfy the
approximate SU(3) flavor symmetry. These solutions indicate that the
color-suppressed tree amplitude is large, all other amplitudes can be
understood within the standard model, and the weak phases
and are consistent with the global unitarity triangle fit.Comment: 8 pages, no figure, more references were adde
B meson wave function from the decay
We show that the leading-power meson wave function can be extracted
reliably from the photon energy spectrum of the decay up to
and uncertainty, being the quark mass
and the strong coupling constant. The corrections from
heavy-quark expansion can be absorbed into a redefined leading-power meson
wave function. The two-parton corrections cancel exactly, and the
three-parton meson wave functions turn out to contribute at .
The constructive long-distance contribution through the
transition, being a vector meson, almost cancels the destructive
radiative correction. Using models of the leading-power meson
wave function available in the literature, we obtain the photon energy spectrum
in the perturbative QCD framework, which is then compared with those from other
approaches.Comment: 11 pages, 5 figures with minor correction
Okubo-Zweig-Iizuka-rule violation and B\to \eta^{(\prime)}K branching ratios
We show that few-percent Okubo-Zweig-Iizuka-rule violating effects in the
quark-flavor basis for the - mixing can enhance the chiral scale
associated with the meson few times. This enhancement is sufficient
for accommodating the dramatically different data of the
and branching ratios. We comment on other proposals for resolving
this problem, including flavor-singlet contributions, axial U(1) anomaly, and
nonperturbative charming penguins. Discrimination of the above proposals by
means of the and
data is suggested.Comment: 7 pages, 2 figures, discussion on B\to\eta^{(\prime)}K* added, more

Photon Production from Nonequilibrium Disoriented Chiral Condensates in a Spherical Expansion
We study the production of photons through the non-equilibrium relaxation of
a disoriented chiral condensate formed in the expanding hot central region in
ultra-relativistic heavy-ion collisions. It is found that the expansion
smoothes out the resonances in the process of parametric amplification such
that the non-equilibrium photons are dominant to the thermal photons over the
range 0.2-2 GeV. We propose that to search for non-equilibrium photons in the
direct photon measurements of heavy-ion collisions can be a potential test of
the formation of disoriented chiral condensates.Comment: 13 pages, 3 figure
Weak phases from topological-amplitude parametrization
We propose a parametrization for two-body nonleptonic meson decays, in
which the various topologies of amplitudes are counted in terms of powers of
the Wolfenstein parameter . The weak phases and the
amplitudes are determined by comparing this parametrization with available
measurements. It is possible to obtain the phase from the
data up to theoretical uncertainty of . The recently
measured branching ratio implies a large color-suppressed
or penguin amplitude, and that the extraction of the phase from the
data may suffer theoretical uncertainty more than the expected one
of .Comment: 11 pages, 4 figure
