Nonleptonic charmless two-body decays
In this work we have studied hadronic charmless two-body B decays involving
p-wave mesons in final state. We have calculated branching ratios of
decays (where and denotes a axial-vector and a tensor meson,
respectively), using form factors obtained in the covariant
light-front (CLF) approach, and the full effective Hamiltonian. We have
obtained that ,

The open-charm radiative and pionic decays of molecular charmonium Y(4274)
In this work, we investigate the decay widths and the line shapes of the
open-charm radiative and pionic decays of Y(4274) with the
molecular charmonium assignment. Our calculation
indicates that the decay widths of and
can reach up to 0.05 keV and 0.75 keV,
respectively. In addition, the result of the line shape of the photon spectrum
of shows that there exists a very sharp
peak near the large end point of photon energy. The line shape of the pion
spectrum of is similar to that of the pion
spectrum of , where we also find a very
sharp peak near the large end point of pion energy. According to our
calculation, we suggest further experiments to carry out the search for the
open-charm radiative and pionic decays of Y(4274).Comment: 7 pages, 6 figures, 1 table. Published versio
SU(3) Predictions of Decays in the Standard Model
With SU(3) symmetry one only needs 13 hadronic parameters to describe decays in the Standard Model. When annihilation contributions are
neglected, only 7 hadronic parameters are needed. These parameters can be
determined from existing experimental data and some unmeasured branching ratios
and CP asymmetries of the type can be predicted. In this talk we
present SU(3) predictions of branching ratios and CP asymmetries for
decays in the Standard Model.Comment: 4 pages, no figure. Talk present at the 5th International Conference

Direct CP Violation, Branching Ratios and Form Factors , in Decays
The and transitions involved in hadronic B decays are
investigated in a phenomenological way through the framework of QCD
factorization. By comparing our results with experimental branching ratios from
the BELLE, BABAR and CLEO Collaborations for all the B decays including either
a pion or a kaon, we propose boundaries for the transition form factors and depending on the CKM matrix element parameters and
. From this analysis, the form factors required to reproduce the
experimental data for branching ratios are and
. We calculate the direct CP violating asymmetry
parameter, , for and decays, in the case where mixing effects are taken into
account. Based on these results, we find that the direct CP asymmetry for
, ,
, and , reaches its maximum when the invariant mass is
in the vicinity of the meson mass. The inclusion of
mixing provides an opportunity to erase, without ambiguity, the phase
uncertainty mod in the determination of the CKM angles in case
of and in case of .Comment: 74 pages, 15 figures, 8 tables. A few misprints corrected, two

Does the enhancement observed in contain two -wave higher charmonia?
Solved is a new puzzle raised by the observation of an enhancement structure
Z(3930) in . If categorizing Z(3930) as
suggested by Belle and BaBar, we must explain why
dominantly decaying into is missing in the
invariant mass spectrum. In this work, we propose that the Z(3930)
enhancement structure may contain two -wave higher charmonia
{} and . We show that this assumption is
supported by our analysis of the invariant mass spectrum and
distribution of . This observation
would not only provide valuable information of two P-wave higher charmonia
and , but also serve as the crucial test of our
novel proposal to the observed enhancement structure Z(3930), especially at the
forthcoming BelleII and the approved SuperB.Comment: 5 pages, 2 tables, 3 figures. More contents and discussions adde
Determining Heavy Hybrid Masses via QCD Sum Rules
The masses of charmonium and bottomonium hybrids are evaluated in
terms of QCD sum rules. We find that the ground state hybrid in charm sector
lies in GeV, while in bottom sector the hybrid may
situated in GeV. Since the numerical result on
charmonium hybrid mass is not compatible with the charmonium spectra, including
structures newly observed in experiment, we tempt to conclude that such a
hybrid does not purely exist, but rather as an admixture with other states,
like glueball and regular quarkonium, in experimental observation. However, our
result on bottomonium hybrid coincide with the "exotic structure" recently
observed at BELLE.Comment: 15 pages, 5 figures, version to appear in J.Phys.
in the Standard Model with Flavor Symmetry
The observed branching ratios for decays are much larger than
factorization predictions in the Standard Model (SM). Many proposals have been
made to reconcile the data and theoretical predictions. In this paper we study
these decays within the SM using flavor U(3) symmetry. If small annihilation
amplitudes are neglected, one needs 11 hadronic parameters to describe decays where can be one of the , , and nonet
mesons. We find that existing data are consistent with SM with flavor U(3)
symmetry. We also predict several measurable branching ratios and CP
asymmetries for , decays.
Near future experiments can provide important tests for the Standard Model with
flavor U(3) symmetry.Comment: 13 pages, 4 table
The molecular systems composed of the charmed mesons in the doublet
We study the possible heavy molecular states composed of a pair of charm
mesons in the H and S doublets. Since the P-wave charm-strange mesons
and are extremely narrow, the future experimental
observation of the possible heavy molecular states composed of
and may be feasible if they really exist.
Especially the possible states may be searched for via the
initial state radiation technique.Comment: 42 pages, 4 tables, 31 figures. Improved numerical results and

Strong and Weak Phases from Time-Dependent Measurements of
Time-dependence in and \ob(t) \to \pi^+ \pi^- is
utilized to obtain a maximal set of information on strong and weak phases. One
can thereby check theoretical predictions of a small strong phase
between penguin and tree amplitudes. A discrete ambiguity between and may be resolved by comparing the observed
charge-averaged branching ratio predicted for the tree amplitude alone, using
measurements of and factorization, or by direct comparison of
parameters of the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa (CKM) matrix with those determined
by other means. It is found that with 150 fb from BaBar and Belle, this
ambiguity will be resolvable if no direct CP violation is found. In the
presence of direct CP violation, the discrete ambiguity between and
becomes less important, vanishing altogether as . The role of measurements involving the lifetime difference between
neutral eigenstates is mentioned briefly.Comment: 14 pages, LaTeX, 5 figures, to be published in Phys. Rev. D. Updated

Resummation of nuclear enhanced higher twist in the Drell Yan process
We investigate higher twist contributions to the transverse momentum
broadening of Drell Yan pairs in proton nucleus collisions. We revisit the
contribution of matrix elements of twist-4 and generalize this to matrix
elements of arbitrary twist. An estimate of the maximal nuclear broadening
effect is derived. A model for nuclear enhanced matrix elements of arbitrary
twist allows us to give the result of a resummation of all twists in closed
form. Subleading corrections to the maximal broadening are discussed
qualitatively.Comment: 10 pages, 5 figures; v2: minor changes in text, acknowledgement
