    Revisit assignments of the new excited Ωc\Omega_c states with QCD sum rules

    Full text link
    In this article, we distinguish the contributions of the positive parity and negative parity Ωc\Omega_c states, study the masses and pole residues of the 1S, 1P, 2S and 2P Ωc\Omega_c states with the spin J=12J=\frac{1}{2} and 32\frac{3}{2} using the QCD sum rules in a consistent way, and revisit the assignments of the new narrow excited Ωc0\Omega_c^0 states. The predictions support assigning the Ωc(3000)\Omega_c(3000) to be the 1P Ωc\Omega_c state with JP=12J^P={\frac{1}{2}}^-, assigning the Ωc(3090)\Omega_c(3090) to be the 1P Ωc\Omega_c state with JP=32J^P={\frac{3}{2}}^- or the 2S Ωc\Omega_c state with JP=12+J^P={\frac{1}{2}}^+, and assigning Ωc(3119)\Omega_c(3119) to be the 2S Ωc\Omega_c state with JP=32+J^P={\frac{3}{2}}^+.Comment: 19 pages, 22 figures. arXiv admin note: text overlap with arXiv:1705.0774

    Revisiting the Pion Leading-Twist Distribution Amplitude within the QCD Background Field Theory

    Full text link
    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 a2π1  GeV=0.403±0.093a^\pi_2|_{\rm 1\;GeV} = 0.403 \pm 0.093, 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

    Full text link
    We study the event shape variables, transverse energy energy correlation TEEC (cosϕ)(\cos \phi) and its asymmetry ATEEC (cosϕ)(\cos \phi) in deep inelastic scattering (DIS) at the electron-proton collider HERA, where ϕ\phi is the angle between two jets defined using a transverse-momentum (kT)(k_T) 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 s=314\sqrt{s}=314 GeV. We restrict the angular region to 0.8cosϕ0.8-0.8 \leq \cos \phi \leq 0.8, 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 xx, y=Q2/(xs)y=Q^2/(x s), where Q2=q2Q^2=-q^2 is the negative of the momentum transfer squared q2q^2, to 0x10 \leq x \leq 1, 0.2y0.60.2 \leq y \leq 0.6, and the pseudo-rapidity variable in the laboratory frame (ηlab)(\eta^{\rm {lab}}) to the range 1ηlab2.5-1 \leq \eta^{\rm {lab}} \leq 2.5. The TEEC and ATEEC functions are worked out for two ranges in Q2Q^2, defined by 5.5 GeV2Q280 GeV25.5~{\rm GeV}^2 \leq Q^2 \leq 80~{\rm GeV}^2, called the low-Q2Q^2-range, and 150 GeV2Q21000 GeV2150~{\rm GeV}^2 \leq Q^2 \leq 1000~{\rm GeV}^2, called the high-Q2Q^2-range. We show the sensitivity of these functions on the parton distribution functions (PDFs), the factorization (μF)(\mu_F) and renormalization (μR)(\mu_R) scales, and on αs(MZ)\alpha_s(M_Z). Of these the correlations are stable against varying the scale μF\mu_F and the PDFs, but they do depend on μR\mu_R. These studies are useful in the analysis of the HERA data, including the determination of αs(MZ)\alpha_s(M_Z) 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 WW-Boson Decays

    Full text link
    Sizable amount of heavy-quarkonium events can be produced through WW-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 M{\cal M} 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 (QQˉ)[1S]>|(Q\bar{Q'})[1S]> and (QQˉ)[1P]>|(Q\bar{Q'})[1P]>, we make a further study on the production of higher-excited (QQˉ)>|(Q\bar{Q'})>-quarkonium Fock states (QQˉ)[2S]>|(Q\bar{Q'})[2S]>, (QQˉ)[3S]>|(Q\bar{Q'})[3S]> and (QQˉ)[2P]>|(Q\bar{Q'})[2P]>. Here (QQˉ)>|(Q\bar{Q'})> stands for the (ccˉ)>|(c\bar{c})>-charmonium, (cbˉ)>|(c\bar{b})>-quarkonium and (bbˉ)>|(b\bar{b})>-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 discussions and two new figures have been adde

    Global analysis of measured and unmeasured hadronic two-body weak decays of antitriplet charmed baryons

    Full text link
    A large amount of data on hadronic two body weak decays of anti-triplet charmed baryons Tc3ˉT_{c\bar 3} to an octet baryon T8T_8 and an octet or singlet pseudoscalar meson PP, Tc3ˉT8PT_{c \bar 3} \to T_8 P, 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 Ξc0\Xi^0_c to η\eta or η\eta' 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 χ2/d.o.f.\chi^2/d.o.f. 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

    Full text link
    A new U(1)XU(1)_X gauge boson XX primarily interacting with a dark sector can have renormalizable kinetic mixing with the standard model (SM) U(1)YU(1)_Y gauge boson YY. 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 SS, TT and UU parameters. We find that with the dark photon mass larger than the ZZ boson mass, the kinetic mixing effects can reduce the tension of the W mass excess problem reported recently by CDF from 7σ7\sigma deviation to within 3σ3 \sigma compared with theory prediction. If there is non-abelian kinetic mixing between U(1)XU(1)_X and SU(2)LSU(2)_L 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

    <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
