Quasi-two-body decays B→DK∗(892)→DKπB \to D K^*(892) \to D K \pi in the perturbative QCD approach

We study the quasi-two-body decays $B\to D K^*(892) \to D K\pi$ by employing the perturbative QCD approach. The two-meson distribution amplitudes \Phi_{K\pi}^{\text{P-wave}} are adopted to describe the final state interactions of the kaon-pion pair in the resonance region. The resonance line shape for the $P$-wave $K\pi$ component $K^*(892)$ in the time-like form factor $F_{K\pi}(s)$ is parameterized by the relativistic Breit-Wigner function. For most considered decay modes, the theoretical predictions for their branching ratios are consistent with currently available experimental measurements within errors. We also disscuss some ratios of the branching fractions of the concerned decay processes. More precise data from LHCb and Belle-II are expected to test our predictions.Comment: 10 pages, 3 figures and 2 tables.To be published in EPJ

Network nonlocality sharing via weak measurements in the generalized star network configuration

Network nonlocality exhibits completely novel quantum correlations compared to standard quantum nonlocality. It has been shown that network nonlocality can be shared in a generalized bilocal scenario via weak measurements [Phys. Rev. A. 105, 042436 (2022)]. In this paper, we investigate network nonlocality sharing via weak measurements in a generalized star-shaped network configuration with arbitrary numbers of unbiased dichotomic input $k$, which includes $n$ branches and adds ($m$-1) more parties in each branch to the original star network $(n, m=1, k=2)$ scenario. It is shown that network nonlocality sharing among all observers can be revealed from simultaneous violation of $2^n$ inequalities in the ($n, m=2, k=2$) and ($n, m=2, k=3$) scenarios for any $n$ branches. The noise resistance of network nonlocality sharing with a precise noise model is also analyzed.Comment: 8 pages, 3 figures. update new result
