On the polarization properties of the charmed baryon Lambda^+_c in the Lambda^+_c -> p + K^- + pi^+ + pi^0 decay
The polarization properties of the charmed Lambda^+_c baryon are investigated
in weak non-leptonic four-body Lambda^+_c -> p + K^- + pi^+ + pi^0 decay. The
probability of this decay and the angular distribution of the probability are
calculated in the effective quark model with chiral U(3)XU(3) symmetry
incorporating Heavy Quark Effective theory (HQET) and the extended
Nambu-Jona-Lasinio model with a linear realization of chiral U(3)XU(3)
symmetry. The theoretical value of the probability of the decay Lambda^+_c -> p
+ K^- + pi^+ + pi^0 relative to the probability of the decay Lambda^+_c -> p +
K^- + pi^+ does not contain free parameters and fits well experimental data.
The application of the obtained results to the analysis of the polarization of
the Lambda^+_c produced in the processes of photo and hadroproduction is
discussed.Comment: 10 pages, no figures, Late
Standard Electroweak Interactions in Gravitational Theory with Chameleon Field and Torsion
We propose a version of a gravitational theory with the torsion field,
induced by the chameleon field. Following Hojman et al. Phys. Rev. D17, 3141
(1976) the results, obtained in Phys. Rev. D90, 045040 (2014), are generalised
by extending the Einstein gravity to the Einstein-Cartan gravity with the
torsion field as a gradient of the chameleon field through a modification of
local gauge invariance of minimal coupling in the Weinberg-Salam electroweak
model. The contributions of the chameleon (torsion) field to the observables of
electromagnetic and weak processes are calculated. Since in our approach the
chameleon-photon coupling constant beta_(gamma) is equal to the
chameleon-matter coupling constant beta, i.e. beta_(gamma) = beta, the
experimental constraints on beta, obtained in terrestrial laboratories by T.
Jenke et al. (Phys. Rev. Lett. 112, 115105 (2014)) and by H. Lemmel et al.
(Phys. Lett. B743, 310 (2015)), can be used for the analysis of astrophysical
sources of chameleons, proposed by C. Burrage et al. (Phys. Rev. D79, 044028
(2009)), A.-Ch. Davis et al. (Phys. Rev. D80, 064016 (2009), and in references
therein, where chameleons induce photons because of direct chameleon-photon
transitions in the magnetic fields.Comment: 26 pages, 8 figure
