Heat conduction in 2D strongly-coupled dusty plasmas
We perform non-equilibrium simulations to study heat conduction in
two-dimensional strongly coupled dusty plasmas. Temperature gradients are
established by heating one part of the otherwise equilibrium system to a higher
temperature. Heat conductivity is measured directly from the stationary
temperature profile and heat flux. Particular attention is paid to the
influence of damping effect on the heat conduction. It is found that the heat
conductivity increases with the decrease of the damping rate, while its
magnitude agrees with previous experimental measurement.Comment: 4 pages, 2 figures, presented in SCCS2008 conferenc
Rescattering effects in B_{u,d,s}(bar) to D P, D(bar) P decays
We study quasi-elastic rescattering effects in B_{u,d,s}(bar) to DP, D(bar)P
decays, where P is a light pseudoscalar. The updated measurements of
B_{u,d}(bar) to DP decays are used to extract the effective Wilson coefficients
a^{eff}_1 ~ 0.90, a^{eff}_2 ~ 0.23, three strong phases delta ~ 53 degree,
theta ~ 18 degree, sigma ~ -88 degree, and the mixing angle tau ~ 9 degree.
This information is used to predict rates of nineteen B_{s}(bar) to DP and
B_{u,d,s}(bar) to D(bar)P decay modes, including modes of interests in the
gamma/phi_3 program. Many decay rates are found to be enhanced. In particular,
the B_s(bar) to D0 K0 rate is predicted to be 8\times 10^{-4}, which could be
measured soon. The rescattering effects on the corresponding B_{u,d,s}(bar) to
D(bar)P, DP amplitude ratios r_B, r_{B_s}, and the relative strong phases
delta_B, delta_{B_s} are studied. Although the decay rates are enhanced in most
cases, r_{B,B_s} values are similar to factorization expectation.Comment: 16 page
