Charmed Baryons CHARMED BARYONS S. Fleck and J.M. Richard Abstract A review of the spectroscopy and decay properties of charmed baryons is presented, with emphasis on the double—charm and triple—charm sectors, which have been studied recently. 1. Introduction It is hardly necessary to underline the importance of charm The discovery of hidden charm in 1974 and naked charm in for weak interactions. The charmed quark was in fact predicted 1976 opened a new era in hadron spectroscopy [1, 2]. All new by GIM [4] to solve a long—standing problem related to the decay heavy mesons and baryons [3] have been described simply by properties of neutral kaons. Charmed particles themselves have adding a new quark, c, to the series of the constituents d, u and 3, revealed intriguing decay properties: in particular, the ratio of thus reinforcing the quark model. meson lifetimes, T(D+)/T(D0), is different from 1, showing that This qualitative success stimulated detailed dynamical the decaying charmed quark does not ignore its environment. calculations of quark binding, based on models of confinement.

In this framework, we shall show that Throughout this review, we shall very often use the baryons with single, double, or triple charm provide very convenient language of the non—relativistic quark model. Most of interesting opportunities to test the dynamics of quark the physics discussion on charmed baryons holds, however, confinement. beyond this particular approximation.

  • Qcd in Heavy Quark Production and Decay
    QCD IN HEAVY QUARK PRODUCTION AND DECAY Jim Wiss* University of Illinois Urbana, IL 61801 ABSTRACT I discuss how QCD is used to understand the physics of heavy quark production and decay dynamics. My discussion of production dynam- ics primarily concentrates on charm photoproduction data which is compared to perturbative QCD calculations which incorporate frag- mentation effects. We begin our discussion of heavy quark decay by reviewing data on charm and beauty lifetimes. Present data on fully leptonic and semileptonic charm decay is then reviewed. Mea- surements of the hadronic weak current form factors are compared to the nonperturbative QCD-based predictions of Lattice Gauge The- ories. We next discuss polarization phenomena present in charmed baryon decay. Heavy Quark Effective Theory predicts that the daugh- ter baryon will recoil from the charmed parent with nearly 100% left- handed polarization, which is in excellent agreement with present data. We conclude by discussing nonleptonic charm decay which are tradi- tionally analyzed in a factorization framework applicable to two-body and quasi-two-body nonleptonic decays. This discussion emphasizes the important role of final state interactions in influencing both the observed decay width of various two-body final states as well as mod- ifying the interference between Interfering resonance channels which contribute to specific multibody decays.

    International Journal of Advanced Science and Technology Vol.74 (2015), pp.43-48 http://dx.doi.org/10.14257/ijast.2015.74.05 On the Mass Spectrum of Exotic Protonium Atom in Oscillator Representation Method Arezu Jahanshir Assistant professor and faculty member of Bueinzahra Technical University, Iran [email protected] Abstract In the given paper one determines the constituent mass of the bound state and binding energy of hadronic exotic system, according to the basis investigation of the asymptotically behavior of the loop function of scalar particles in the external electromagnet field are analytically determined exploration of these states through relativistic and non-perturbative corrections. It is shown that, the mass spectrum of a relativistic bound state of protonium consisting from proton and anti-proton is differing from a mass of initial particles. Keywords: protonium, constituent mass, Hamiltonian, Green function, scalar particles 1. Introduction All of theoretical high energy physician by using mathematical methods and new theories try to understand how bound state arise in the formalism of quantum field theory and to work out effective methods to calculate all characteristics of these bound states, especially their masses, binding energy and spin interactions. The analysis of a bound state is difficult when the interaction have to be considered as relativistic, i.e. when they travel at speeds considerably near the "c". The theoretical criterion is that the coupling constant should be strong [1-6] and masses of intermediate particles gluons in quantum chromodynamic should be big in comparison with masses of constituents. New importance to the exotic hadronic bound state physics was given by the development of quantum chromodynamic, the modern theory of strong interactions.

  • Charmed Eloquence: Lhéritier's Representation of Female Literary
    Charmed Eloquence: Lhéritier’s Representation of Female Literary Creativity in Late Seventeenth-Century France by Allison Stedman In 1690 when Marie-Catherine le Jumel de Barneville, comtesse d'Aulnoy decided to interpolate a fairy tale, "L'île de la félicité," into her first historical novel, L'histoire d'Hypolite, comte de Duglas, she did more than publish the first literary fairy tale of the French tradition.1 Hypolite not only provided a framework for introducing the fairy tale as a literary genre; it also launched a new hybrid publication strategy that would soon sweep printing houses all over Paris. This unprecedented literary trend—which I have chosen to call the novel/fairy-tale hybrid—involved the combination of fairy tales and novels by means of interpolation, framing, layering or juxtaposition. More than thirteen authors developed the genre between 1690 and 1715, and they produced a total of twenty-seven original works, sometimes at the rapid rate of two to three per year.2 In the late seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries, novel/fairy-tale hybrids were incredibly popular, frequently reprinted and widely circulated, with translations of some appearing as far away as England, Spain and Czecesolvakia.3 D'Aulnoy's Histoire d'Hypolite, for example, achieved more editions over the course of the eighteenth century than any other seventeenth-century literary work, with the exception of La Princesse de Clèves.4 In fact, the genre was so popular that it even experienced a brief revival between 1747 and 1759 when six new examples appeared. During the final decades of the eighteenth century, however, anthologists began pillaging the original editions of these works.

Abundant neutrons within these large experimental volumes, along with future high-intensity neutron beams such as the European Spallation Source, offer a powerful, high-precision portal onto this physics through searches for B and B − L violating processes such as neutron-antineutron transformations (n → n¯), a key prediction of compelling theories of baryogenesis. With this in mind, this paper discusses a novel and self-consistent intranuclear simulation of this process 40 within 18Ar, which plays the role of both detector and target within the DUNE’s gigantic liquid argon time projection chambers. An accurate and independent simulation of the resulting intranuclear annihilation respecting important physical correlations and cascade dynamics for this large nucleus is necessary to understand the viability of such rare searches when contrasted against background sources such as atmospheric neutrinos.

  • Antiproton–Proton Scattering Experiments with Polarization ( Collaboration) PAX Abstract
    Technical Proposal for Antiproton–Proton Scattering Experiments with Polarization ( Collaboration) PAX arXiv:hep-ex/0505054v1 17 May 2005 J¨ulich, May 2005 2 Technical Proposal for PAX Frontmatter 3 Technical Proposal for Antiproton–Proton Scattering Experiments with Polarization ( Collaboration) PAX Abstract Polarized antiprotons, produced by spin filtering with an internal polarized gas target, provide access to a wealth of single– and double–spin observables, thereby opening a new window to physics uniquely accessible at the HESR. This includes a first measurement of the transversity distribution of the valence quarks in the proton, a test of the predicted opposite sign of the Sivers–function, related to the quark dis- tribution inside a transversely polarized nucleon, in Drell–Yan (DY) as compared to semi–inclusive DIS, and a first measurement of the moduli and the relative phase of the time–like electric and magnetic form factors GE,M of the proton. In polarized and unpolarized pp¯ elastic scattering, open questions like the contribution from the odd charge–symmetry Landshoff–mechanism at large t and spin–effects in the extraction | | of the forward scattering amplitude at low t can be addressed. The proposed de- | | tector consists of a large–angle apparatus optimized for the detection of DY electron pairs and a forward dipole spectrometer with excellent particle identification. The design and performance of the new components, required for the polarized antiproton program, are outlined. A low–energy Antiproton Polarizer Ring (APR) yields an antiproton beam polarization of Pp¯ = 0.3 to 0.4 after about two beam life times, which is of the order of 5–10 h.
