QCD evolution and skewedness effects in color dipole description of DVCS
We show the role played by QCD evolution and skewedness effects in the DVCS
cross section at large within the color dipole description of the process
at photon level. The dipole cross section is given by the saturation model,
which can be improved by DGLAP evolution at high photon virtualities. We
investigate both possibilities as well as the off-forward effect through a
simple phenomenological parametrisation. The results are compared to the recent
ZEUS DVCS data.Comment: LaTeX, 6 pages, 5 Figs. Vers 2: Minor modifications. Accepted by EPJ
Hyperfine Populations Prior to Muon Capture
It is shown that the 1S level hyperfine populations prior to muon capture
will be statistical when either target or beam are unpolarised independent of
the atomic level at which the hyperfine interaction becomes appreciable. This
assertion holds in the absence of magnetic transitions during the cascade and
is true because of minimal polarisation after atomic capture and selective
feeding during the cascade.Comment: (revtex, 6 preprint pages, no figures
Moments of Nucleon Generalized Parton Distributions in Lattice QCD
Calculation of moments of generalized parton distributions in lattice QCD
requires more powerful techniques than those previously used to calculate
moments of structure functions. Hence, we present a novel approach that
exploits the full information content from a given lattice configuration by
measuring an overdetermined set of lattice observables to provide maximal
statistical constraints on the generalized form factors at a given virtuality,
t. In an exploratory investigation using unquenched QCD configurations at
intermediate sea quark masses, we demonstrate that our new technique is
superior to conventional methods and leads to reliable numerical signals for
the n=2 flavor singlet generalized form factors up to 3 GeV^2. The contribution
from connected diagrams in the flavor singlet sector to the total quark angular
momentum is measured to an accuracy of the order of one percent.Comment: 16 pages, 8 figures, LaTeX, minor elaboration of formalism and

Tagged-photon events in polarized DIS process
Deep-inelastic events for the scattering of the longitudinally polarized
electron by polarized proton with tagged collinear photon radiated from
initial-state electron are considered. The corresponding cross-section is
derived in the Born approximation. The model-independent radiative corrections
to the Born cross-section are also calculated. Obtained result is applied to
the case of elastic scattering.Comment: 14 pages, 2 figures, submitted to JET
Pion production in deeply virtual Compton scattering
Using a soft pion theorem based on chiral symmetry and a
resonance model we propose an estimate for the production cross section of low
energy pions in the deeply virtual Compton scattering (DVCS) process. In
particular, we express the processes in terms of
generalized parton distributions. We provide estimates of the contamination of
the DVCS observables due to this associated pion
production processes when the experimental data are not fully exclusive, for a
set of kinematical conditions representative of present or planned experiments
at JLab, HERMES and COMPASS.Comment: 50 pages, 22 figure

Studies of Bs2∗(5840)0 and Bs1(5830)0 mesons including the observation of the Bs2∗(5840)0→B0KS0 decay in proton-proton collisions at s=8TeV.
Measurements of Bs2∗(5840)0 and Bs1(5830)0 mesons are performed using a data sample of proton-proton collisions corresponding to an integrated luminosity of , collected with the CMS detector at the LHC at a centre-of-mass energy of 8TeV . The analysis studies P-wave Bs0 meson decays into B(∗)+K- and B(∗)0KS0 , where the B+ and B0 mesons are identified using the decays B+→J/ψK+ and B0→J/ψK∗(892)0 . The masses of the P-wave Bs0 meson states are measured and the natural width of the Bs2∗(5840)0 state is determined. The first measurement of the mass difference between the charged and neutral B∗ mesons is also presented. The Bs2∗(5840)0 decay to B0KS0 is observed, together with a measurement of its branching fraction relative to the Bs2∗(5840)0→B+K- decay
