Possible dynamical mechanism generatingSU 3 andSU 2 symmetry breaking
We discuss a dynamical mechanism forSU3 andSU2 symmetry breaking, based on scalar-meson-dominated tadpoles with σ-model-inspired meson and quark couplings. Meson and baryon mass differences are consistently described in terms of the two strange and nonstrange scalar-meson couplings to currents, and octet enhancement is obtained in a natural way
Measuring Double Parton Distributions in Nucleons at Proton-Nucleus Colliders
We predict a strong enhancement of multijet production in proton-nucleus
collisions at collider energies, as compared to a naive expectation of a cross
section . The study of the process would allow to measure, for the
first time, the double parton distribution functions in a nucleon in a model
independent way and hence to study both the longitudinal and the transverse
correlations of partons.Comment: 12 pages, 2 figure
High- production as signals for Double Parton scattering at hadron colliders
We present an analysis of the \psi\psi production from double parton (DP)
sacttering and single parton (SP) scattering in the large p_T region via
color-octet gluon fragmentation. We find that at the Tevatron the DP \psi\psi
production is at the edge of the detectability at present, and at the LHC the
DP cross section will dominate over the SP cross section in the lower p_T(min)
region (i.e., p_T(min)<7GeV). We also conclude that the color-octet mechanism
is of crucial importance to the double j/psi production at high energy hadron
colliders.Comment: Revtex, 12 pages, 3 Postscript figure
b \bar b b\bar b production in proton-nucleus collisions at the LHC
A sizable rate of events, with several pairs of -quarks produced
contemporarily by multiple parton interactions, may be expected at very high
energies as a consequence of the large parton luminosities. The production
rates are further enhanced in hadron-nucleus reactions, which may represent a
convenient tool to study the phenomenon. We compare the different contributions
to production, due to single and double parton
scatterings, in collisions of protons with nuclei at the CERN-LHC.Comment: 13 pages, 4 figure
Dynamical SU(3) linear sigma model and the mixing of eta'-eta and sigma-f_0 mesons
The SU(3) linear sigma model is dynamically generated in loop-order using the
nonstrange-strange basis. Only self-consistent logarithmic divergent graphs are
needed, with quadratic divergent graphs replaced by SU(3) mass-shell equal
splitting laws. The latter lead to an eta'-eta mixing angle of 41.84 deg which
is consistent with phenomenology. Finally this above SU(3) linear sigma model
in turn predicts strong decay rates which are all compatible with data.Comment: 14 pages, 1 figure, elsart; version to appear in J. Phys. G, appendix

``Non-factorizable'' terms in hadronic B-meson weak decays
The branching ratios for the hadronic B-meson weak decays B -> J/psi K and B
-> D pi are used to extract the size of the ``non-factorizable'' terms in the
decay amplitudes. It is pointed out that the solutions are not uniquely
determined. In the B -> J/psi K case, a 2-fold ambiguity can be removed by
analyzing the contribution of this decay to B -> K l+ l-. In the B -> D pi
case, a 4-fold ambiguity can only be removed if the ``non-factorizable'' terms
are assumed to be a small correction to the vacuum insertion result.Comment: 15 pages (and 1 figure, available upon request), TRIUMF report no.

Exclusive B -> K^* l^+ l^- decay with polarized K^* and new physics effects
Using the most general, model independent effective Hamiltonian, the
branching ratio of the (B -> K^* l^+ l^-) decay, when K^* meson is
longitudinally or transversally polarized, is presented. The dependence of the
branching ratio on the new Wilson coefficients, when K^* meson is polarized, is
studied. It is observed that the branching ratio is very sensitive to the
vector and tensor type interactions, which will be useful in search of new
physics beyond the Standard Model.Comment: 13 pp, 6 figures (postscript formatted), LaTex formatte
A double parton scattering background to Higgs boson production at the LHC
The experimental capability of recognizing the presence of b quarks in
complex hadronic final states has addressed the attention towards final states
with b\bar{b} pairs for observing the production of the Higgs boson at the LHC,
in the intermediate Higgs mass range.We point out that double parton scattering
processes are going to represent a sizeable background to the process.Comment: 9 pages, 2 figure
Scale Factor in Double Parton Collisions and Parton Densities in Transverse Space
The scale factor , which characterizes double parton collisions
in high energy hadron interactions, is a direct manifestation of the
distribution of the interacting partons in transverse space, in such a way that
different distributions give rise to different values of in
different double parton collision processes. We work out the value of the scale
factor in a few reactions of interest, in a correlated model of the
multi-parton density of the proton recently proposed.Comment: 10 pages, 2 figure
