    Possible signatures for tetraquarks from the decays of a0(980)a_0(980), a0(1450)a_0(1450)

    Based on the recent proposal for the tetraquarks with the mixing scheme, we investigate fall-apart decays of a0(980),a0(1450)a_0(980), a_0(1450) into two lowest-lying mesons. This mixing scheme suggests that a0(980)a_0(980) and a0(1450)a_0(1450) are the tetraquarks with the mixtures of two spin configurations of diquark and antidiquark. Due to the relative sign differences in the mixtures, the couplings of fall-apart decays into two mesons are strongly enhanced for a0(980)a_0(980) but suppressed for a0(1450)a_0(1450). We report that this expectation is supported by their experimental decays. In particular, the ratios of the associated partial decay widths, which depend on some kinematical factors and the couplings, are found to be around Γ[a0(980)πη]/Γ[a0(1450)πη]=2.512.54\Gamma [a_0(980)\rightarrow \pi \eta]/\Gamma [a_0(1450)\rightarrow \pi \eta] = 2.51-2.54, Γ[a0(980)KKˉ]/Γ[a0(1450)KKˉ]=0.520.89\Gamma [a_0(980)\rightarrow K\bar{K}]/\Gamma [a_0(1450)\rightarrow K\bar{K}] = 0.52-0.89, which seems to agree with the experimental ratios reasonably well. This agreement can be interpreted as the tetraquark signatures for a0(980),a0(1450)a_0(980), a_0(1450).Comment: 6 pages, no figures, more references are added, the version to be published in EPJ

    Z_{12-I} Orbifold Compactification toward SUSY Standard Model

    Full text link
    We explain the orbifold compactification in string models and present a Z_{12-I} orbifold compactification toward supersymmetric standard models. We also point out an effective R-parity from this string construction. The VEVs of gauge singlets are chosen such that phenomenological constraints are satisfied.Comment: 13 pages with 5 figure.

    Effective Action for the Scalar Field Theory with Higher Vertices

    Get PDF
    We derive a new kind of recursion relation to obtain the one-particle-irreducible (1PI) Feynman diagrams for the effective action. By using this method, we have obtained the graphical representation of the four-loop effective action in case of the general bosonic field theory which have vertices higher than the four-point vertex

    Minimax bounds for estimation of normal mixtures

    Full text link
    This paper deals with minimax rates of convergence for estimation of density functions on the real line. The densities are assumed to be location mixtures of normals, a global regularity requirement that creates subtle difficulties for the application of standard minimax lower bound methods. Using novel Fourier and Hermite polynomial techniques, we determine the minimax optimal rate - slightly larger than the parametric rate - under squared error loss. For Hellinger loss, we provide a minimax lower bound using ideas modified from the squared error loss case.Comment: Published in at http://dx.doi.org/10.3150/13-BEJ542 the Bernoulli (http://isi.cbs.nl/bernoulli/) by the International Statistical Institute/Bernoulli Society (http://isi.cbs.nl/BS/bshome.htm

    20 K superconductivity in heavily electron doped surface layer of FeSe bulk crystal

    Full text link
    A superconducting transition temperature Tc as high as 100 K was recently discovered in 1 monolayer (1ML) FeSe grown on SrTiO3 (STO). The discovery immediately ignited efforts to identify the mechanism for the dramatically enhanced Tc from its bulk value of 7 K. Currently, there are two main views on the origin of the enhanced Tc; in the first view, the enhancement comes from an interfacial effect while in the other it is from excess electrons with strong correlation strength. The issue is controversial and there are evidences that support each view. Finding the origin of the Tc enhancement could be the key to achieving even higher Tc and to identifying the microscopic mechanism for the superconductivity in iron-based materials. Here, we report the observation of 20 K superconductivity in the electron doped surface layer of FeSe. The electronic state of the surface layer possesses all the key spectroscopic aspects of the 1ML FeSe on STO. Without any interface effect, the surface layer state is found to have a moderate Tc of 20 K with a smaller gap opening of 4 meV. Our results clearly show that excess electrons with strong correlation strength alone cannot induce the maximum Tc, which in turn strongly suggests need for an interfacial effect to reach the enhanced Tc found in 1ML FeSe/STO.Comment: 5 pages, 4 figure

    Compositional changes on GaN surfaces under low-energy ion bombardment studied by synchrotron-based spectroscopies

    Get PDF
    We have investigated compositional changes on GaNsurfaces under Ar-ion bombardment using synchrotron-based high-resolution x-rayphotoemission (PES) and near-edge x-ray absorption fine structure(NEXAFS)spectroscopy. The low-energy ion bombardment of GaN produces a Ga-rich surface layer which transforms into a metallic Ga layer at higher bombarding energies. At the same time, the photoemissionspectra around N 1s core levels reveal the presence of both uncoordinated nitrogen and nitrogen interstitials, which we have analyzed in more details by x-rayabsorption measurements at N K edge. We have demonstrated that PES and NEXAFS provide a powerful combination for studying the compositional changes on GaNsurfaces. A mechanism for the relocation and loss of nitrogen during ion bombardment in agreement with some recent experimental and theoretical studies of defect formation in GaN has been proposed.P.N.K.D. is grateful for the financial support of the Australian Research Council

    Is Lavelle-McMullan transformation a really new symmetry in QED?

    Get PDF
    Lavelle-McMullan symmetry of QED is examined at classical and quantum levels. It is shown that Lavelle-McMullan symmetry does not give any new non-trivial information in QED by examining the Ward-Takahashi identities. Being inspired by the examination of Ward-Takahashi identity, we construct the generalized non-local and non-covariant symmetries of QED.Comment: LATEX, 9 pages, two figures generated by Feynma
