Scalar Dipion States Produced in Heavy Quarkonium Decays and the Final State Interaction

We study phenomenologically the invariant mass spectra of scalar dipion states produced in cascade decays of excited $\Upsilon$ and $\psi$, and $J/\psi$ decays into light vector meson. Dipion production amplitude is given as a product of the Born term and an effective scalar form factor written in terms of a unitarized chiral theory. The model reproduces the experimental mass spectra very well.Comment: 12pages with 5 eps fig

Wrapped membranes, matrix string theory and an infinite dimensional Lie algebra

We examine the algebraic structure of the matrix regularization for the wrapped membrane on $R^{10}\times S^1$ in the light-cone gauge. We give a concrete representation for the algebra and obtain the matrix string theory having the boundary conditions for the matrix variables corresponding to the wrapped membrane, which is referred to neither Seiberg and Sen's arguments nor string dualities. We also embed the configuration of the multi-wrapped membrane in matrix string theory.Comment: 19 pages, 1 figure, references added, minor change

(p,q)-string in matrix-regularized membrane and type IIB duality

We consider a lightcone wrapped supermembrane compactified on 2-torus in the matrix regularization. We examine the double dimensional reduction technique and deduce the free matrix string of (p,q)-string in type IIB superstring theory explicitly from the matrix-regularized wrapped supermembrane. In addition we obtain the (2+1)-dimensional super Yang-Mills action in curved background. We also examine the duality.Comment: 25 page

Magnetic excitation in a new spin gap compound Cu2_2Sc2_2Ge4_4O13_{13}: Comparison to Cu2_2Fe2_2Ge4_4O13_{13}

The compound \CuScGeO is presented as a new member of the family of weakly coupled spin chain and dimer compounds \CuMGeO. Magnetic susceptibility, heat capacity, and neutron inelastic scattering measurements reveal that the compound has the same spin dimer component as \CuFeGeO. The observed narrow band excitation in bulk measurements is consistent with spin gap behavior. The energy scale of the weakly coupled dimers in the Sc compound is perfectly coincident with that in the Fe compound.Comment: 5 page
