Revisit assignments of the new excited states with QCD sum rules
In this article, we distinguish the contributions of the positive parity and
negative parity states, study the masses and pole residues of the
1S, 1P, 2S and 2P states with the spin and
using the QCD sum rules in a consistent way, and revisit the
assignments of the new narrow excited states. The predictions
support assigning the to be the 1P state with

Revisiting the Pion Leading-Twist Distribution Amplitude within the QCD Background Field Theory
We study the pion leading-twist distribution amplitude (DA) within the
framework of SVZ sum rules under the background field theory. To improve the
accuracy of the sum rules, we expand both the quark propagator and the vertex
(z\cdot \tensor{D})^n of the correlator up to dimension-six operators in the
background field theory. The sum rules for the pion DA moments are obtained, in
which all condensates up to dimension-six have been taken into consideration.
Using the sum rules, we obtain \left|_{\rm 1\;GeV} = 0.338 \pm
0.032, \left|_{\rm 1\;GeV} = 0.211 \pm 0.030 and
\left|_{\rm 1\;GeV} = 0.163 \pm 0.030. It is shown that the
dimension-six condensates shall provide sizable contributions to the pion DA
moments. We show that the first Gegenbauer moment of the pion leading-twist DA
is , which is consistent with those
obtained in the literature within errors but prefers a larger central value as
indicated by lattice QCD predictions.Comment: 13 pages, 7 figure
Transverse Energy-Energy Correlations of jets in the electron-proton Deep Inelastic Scattering at HERA
We study the event shape variables, transverse energy energy correlation TEEC
and its asymmetry ATEEC in deep inelastic
scattering (DIS) at the electron-proton collider HERA, where is the
angle between two jets defined using a transverse-momentum jet
algorithm. At HERA, jets are defined in the Breit frame, and the leading
nontrivial transverse energy energy correlations arise from the 3-jet
configurations. With the help of the NLOJET++, these functions are calculated
in the leading order (LO) and the next-to-leading order (NLO) approximations in
QCD at the electron-proton center-of-mass energy GeV. We
restrict the angular region to , as the forward-
and backward-angular regions require resummed logarithmic corrections, which we
have neglected in this work. Following experimental jet-analysis at HERA, we
restrict the DIS-variables , , where is the negative
of the momentum transfer squared , to , , and the pseudo-rapidity variable in the laboratory frame to the range . The TEEC and ATEEC
functions are worked out for two ranges in , defined by , called the low--range, and , called the high--range. We show the
sensitivity of these functions on the parton distribution functions (PDFs), the
factorization and renormalization scales, and on
. Of these the correlations are stable against varying the scale
and the PDFs, but they do depend on . These studies are useful
in the analysis of the HERA data, including the determination of
from the shape variables.Comment: 18 pages,11 figures; v2: 16 pages, accepted for publication in EPJ
Excited Heavy Quarkonium Production at the LHC through -Boson Decays
Sizable amount of heavy-quarkonium events can be produced through -boson
decays at the LHC. Such channels will provide a suitable platform to study the
heavy-quarkonium properties. The "improved trace technology", which disposes
the amplitude at the amplitude-level, is helpful for deriving
compact analytical results for complex processes. As an important new
application, in addition to the production of the lower-level Fock states
and , we make a further study on the
production of higher-excited -quarkonium Fock states
, and . Here
stands for the -charmonium,
-quarkonium and -bottomonium respectively. We show
that sizable amount of events for those higher-excited states can also be
produced at the LHC. Therefore, we need to take them into consideration for a
sound estimation.Comment: 7 pages, 9 figures and 6 tables. Typo errors are corrected, more

Global analysis of measured and unmeasured hadronic two-body weak decays of antitriplet charmed baryons
A large amount of data on hadronic two body weak decays of anti-triplet
charmed baryons to an octet baryon and an octet or singlet
pseudoscalar meson , , have been measured. The SU(3)
flavor symmetry has been applied to study these decays to obtain insights about
weak interactions for charm physics. However not all such decays needed to
determine the SU(3) irreducible amplitudes have been measured forbidding a
complete global analysis. Previously, it has been shown that data from measured
decays can be used to do a global fit to determine all except one parity
violating and one parity conserving amplitudes of the relevant SU(3)
irreducible amplitudes causing 8 hadronic two body weak decay channels
involving to or transitions undetermined. It is
important to obtain information about these decays in order to guide
experimental searches. In this work using newly measured decay modes by BESIII
and Belle in 2022, we carry out a global analysis and parameterize the unknown
amplitudes to provide the ranges for the branching ratios of the 8 undetermined
decays. Our results indicate that the SU(3) flavor symmetry can explain the
measured data exceptionally well, with a remarkable minimal of
1.21 and predict 80 observables in 45 decays for future experimental data to
test. We then vary the unknown SU(3) amplitudes to obtain the allowed range of
branching ratios for the 8 undetermined decays. We find that some of them are
within reach of near future experimental capabilities. We urge our experimental
colleagues to carry out related searches.Comment: 9pages, 2 figures, 3 table
System Identification of Heat-Transfer Process of Frequency Induction Furnace for Melting Copper Based on Particle Swarm Algorithm
An adaptive evolutionary strategy in standard particle swarm optimization is introduced. Adaptive evolution particle swarm optimization is constructed to improve the capacity of global search. A method based on adaptive evolution particle swarm optimization for identification of continuous system with time delay is proposed. The basic idea is that the identification of continuous system with time delay is converted to an optimization of continuous nonlinear function. The adaptive evolution particle swarm optimization is utilized to find an optimal solution of continuous nonlinear function. Convergence conditions are given by the convergence analysis based on discrete time linear dynamic system theory. Numerical simulation results show that the proposed method is effective for a general continuous system with time delay and the system of heat-transfer process of frequency induction furnace for melting copper
Dark photon kinetic mixing effects for the CDF W-mass measurement
A new gauge boson primarily interacting with a dark sector can
have renormalizable kinetic mixing with the standard model (SM) gauge
boson . This mixing besides introduces interactions of dark photon and dark
sector with SM particles, it also modifies interactions among SM particles. The
modified interactions can be casted into the oblique , and
parameters. We find that with the dark photon mass larger than the boson
mass, the kinetic mixing effects can reduce the tension of the W mass excess
problem reported recently by CDF from deviation to within
compared with theory prediction. If there is non-abelian kinetic mixing between
and gauge bosons, in simple renormalizable models of this
type a triplet Higgs is required to generate the mixing. We find that this
triplet with a vacuum expectation value of order 5 GeV can naturally explain
the W mass excess.Comment: 10 pages, add new ref and no change for conclusio
Neuroprotective effects of bis(7)-tacrine against glutamate-induced retinal ganglion cells damage
<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Glutamate-mediated excitotoxicity, primarily through N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptors, may be an important cause of retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) death in glaucoma and several other retinal diseases. Bis(7)-tacrine is a noncompetitive NMDA receptors antagonist that can prevent glutamate-induced hippocampal neurons damage. We tested the effects of bis(7)-tacrine against glutamate-induced rat RGCs damage in vitro and in vivo.</p> <p>Results</p> <p>In cultured neonatal rats RGCs, the MTT assay showed that glutamate induced a concentration- and time-dependent toxicity. Bis(7)-tacrine and memantine prevented glutamate-induced cell death in a concentration-dependent manner with IC50 values of 0.028 μM and 0.834 μM, respectively. The anti-apoptosis effects of bis(7)-tacrine were confirmed by annexin V-FITC/PI staining. In vivo, TUNEL analysis and retrograde labeling analysis found that pretreatment with bis(7)-tacrine(0.2 mg/kg) induced a significant neuroprotective effect against glutamate-induced RGCs damage.</p> <p>Conclusions</p> <p>Our results showed that bis(7)-tacrine had neuroprotective effects against glutamate-induced RGCs damage in vitro and in vivo, possibly through the drug's anti-NMDA receptor effects. These findings make bis(7)-tacrine potentially useful for treating a variety of ischemic or traumatic retinopathies inclusive of glaucoma.</p
