Search for New Physics via Baryon EDM at LHC
2021
Permanent electric dipole moments (EDMs) of fundamental particles provide powerful probes for physics beyond the Standard Model. We propose to search for the EDM of strange and charm baryons at LHC, extending the ongoing experimental program on the neutron, muon, atoms, molecules and light nuclei. The EDM of strange $\Lambda$ baryons, selected from weak decays of charm baryons produced in pp collisions at LHC, can be determined by studying the spin precession in the magnetic field of the detector tracking system. A test of CPT symmetry can be performed by measuring the magnetic dipole moment of $\Lambda$ and $\overline{\Lambda}$ baryons. For short-lived $\Lambda_c^+$ and $\Xi_c^+$ baryons, …
Relativistic corrections to the Drell-Hearn-Gerasimov sum rule in the constitutent quark model
1994
Relativistic corrections have been calculated for the Drell-Hearn-Gerasimov sum rule in the framework of the constituent-quark model. These corrections lead to additional absorption strength due to relativistic dipole currents in the case of a hyperfine interaction. The introduction of anomalous magnetic moments requires a subtraction of the dispersion integral at infinity. The additional effects of such anomalous moments, however, are numerically very small within the model.
Rare CP-violated η and η′ meson decays and neutron EDM.
2018
The data for the upper limit on the electric dipole moment of the neutron (nEDM) can be explained by using different mechanisms beyond the Standard Model (SM). The nEDM can be generated by a CP-violating transition of η and η′ mesons into pion pairs. We derive the upper limits for the rates of the CP-violating decays η(η′) → 2π are by orders of magnitude more stringent than those from existing experiments so far.
Testing the Standard Model at the precision frontier: the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon
2014
The anomalous magnetic moment of the muon (g − 2)μ is one of the most precisely measured quantities in particle physics (0.54 ppm). There is a long-standing discrepancy of 3-4 standard deviations between the direct measurement of (g − 2)μ and its theoretical evaluation. This theoretical prediction is subdivided into three contributions: QED, weak and hadronic. The QED and weak parts can be determined in perturbative approaches with very high precision. Thus, the hadronic uncertainty dominates the total theoretical uncer- tainty. Within the hadronic uncertainty, the largest contribution stems from the vacuum polarization term, which can be evaluated with the measurement of the inclusive hadr…
Minimal Leptoquark Explanation for theRD(*),RK, and(g−2)μAnomalies
2016
We show that by adding a single new scalar particle to the standard model, a TeV-scale leptoquark with the quantum numbers of a right-handed down quark, one can explain in a natural way three of the most striking anomalies of particle physics: the violation of lepton universality in B[over ¯]→K[over ¯]l^{+}l^{-} decays, the enhanced B[over ¯]→D^{(*)}τν[over ¯] decay rates, and the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon. Constraints from other precision measurements in the flavor sector can be satisfied without fine-tuning. Our model predicts enhanced B[over ¯]→K[over ¯]^{(*)}νν[over ¯] decay rates and a new-physics contribution to B_{s}-B[over ¯]_{s} mixing close to the current central fit v…
Hadronic inputs to the (g– 2)μpuzzle
2016
There is a long standing discrepancy of 3 – 4 standard deviations between the direct measurement and the Standard Model prediction of the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon (g – 2) μ . While new direct measurements have been proposed to clarify the situation, theory calculations are completely limited by the accuracy of the hadronic contributions to (g – 2) μ . In order to increase their precision, experimental information can be used as input. In this presentation we will discuss recent and future measurements of relevant hadronic cross sections and transition form factors.
Measurement of the Time-like Pion Transition Form Factor at BESIII
2019
The pion transition form factor is an important input to the dispersive approaches of the Standard Model calculations for the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon. We report the prospects of a first measurement at high momentum transfer in the time-like region performed at BESIII. The aim is to improve the uncertainty of the hadronic light-by-light calculations and to shed light on the BaBar-Belle puzzle in the space-like region.
Lattice calculation of the pion transition form factor π0→γ*γ*
2016
The pion transition form factor for the neutral pion double virtual photon decay is computed in two flavor lattice QCD, extrapolated to the continuum physical point. Implications for the computation of the contribution of hadronic light-by-light scattering to the muon anomalous magnetic moment are discussed.
Lattice Determination of the Anomalous Magnetic Moment of the Muon
2011
We compute the leading hadronic contribution to the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon a_mu^HLO using two dynamical flavours of non-perturbatively O(a) improved Wilson fermions. By applying partially twisted boundary conditions we are able to improve the momentum resolution of the vacuum polarisation, an important ingredient for the determination of the leading hadronic contribution. We check systematic uncertainties by studying several ensembles, which allows us to discuss finite size effects and lattice artefacts. The chiral behavior of a_mu^HLO turns out to be non-trivial, especially for small pion masses.
The γγ Physics Program at BESIII
2018
A key motivation for the two-photon physics program of the BESIII collaboration is the need of high precision data on electromagnetic transition form factors as input to the calculations of the contribution of hadronic Light-by-light scattering to the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon. The data collected with the BESIII detector allow to study the momentum dependence of the form factors at small momentum transfers, which is of special relevance for αμ. In this presentation the ongoing measurements of the transition form factors of π0,η and η' mesons, as well as pion pairs, are discussed, and the potential for first double-tagged measurements at BESIII are pointed out.
