    Strong and Electromagnetic Decays of The DD-wave Heavy Mesons

    Full text link
    We calculate the π\pi, ρ\rho, ω\omega, and γ\gamma coupling constants between the heavy meson doublets (1,2)(1^-,2^-) and (0^-,1^-)/(0^+,1^+) within the framework of the light-cone QCD sum rule at the leading order of heavy quark effective theory. Most of the sum rules are stable with the variations of the Borel parameter and the continuum threshold. Then we calculate the strong and electromagnetic decay widths of the (1,2)(1^-,2^-) D-wave heavy mesons. Their total widths are around several tens of MeV, which is helpful in the future experimental search.Comment: 20 pages, 13 figure

    Thermodynamics of scalar-tensor theory with non-minimally derivative coupling

    Full text link
    With the usual definitions for the entropy and the temperature associated with the apparent horizon, we show that the unified first law on the apparent horizon is equivalent to the Friedmann equation for the scalar--tensor theory with non-minimally derivative coupling. The second law of thermodynamics on the apparent horizon is also satisfied. The results support a deep and fundamental connection between gravitation, thermodynamics, and quantum theory.Comment: 12 pages, no figure, minor correction
