Structure at 2175 MeV ine+e−→ϕf0(980)observed via initial-state radiation
2006
We study the initial-state-radiation processes e+e-→K+K-π+π- γ and e+e-→K+K-π0π0γ using an integrated luminosity of 232fb-1 collected at the Υ(4S) mass with the BABAR detector at SLAC. Even though these reactions are dominated by intermediate states with excited kaons, we are able to study for the first time the cross section for e+e-→ (1020)f0(980) as a function of center-of-mass energy. We observe a structure near threshold consistent with a 1 - resonance with mass m=2.175±0. 010±0.015GeV/c2 and width Γ=58±16±20MeV. We observe no Y(4260) signal and set a limit of BY→ π+π-•ΓeeY<0. 4eV (90% confidence level), which excludes some models. © 2006 The American Physical Society.
The role of charged exotic states in e+e− → ψ(2S) π+π−
2019
Abstract In this work, we use the dispersion theory to provide a physical description of recent BESIII data on the reaction e + e − → ψ ( 2 S ) π + π − . Taking into account explicitly the effects of charged exotic intermediate states in the t- and u-channels as well as the two-pion final state interaction, we describe the invariant mass distribution for four different e + e − center-of-mass energies. The effects of the ππ rescattering are accounted for in a single channel Omnes approach which is found to explain the ππ-invariant mass distributions at all e + e − center-of-mass energies. For q = 4.226 GeV and q = 4.258 GeV the already established charged exotic state Z c ( 3900 ) is conside…
Two neutral pion photoproduction off the proton between threshold and 800 MeV
1997
Abstract The photoproduction of two neutral pions off the proton has been studied for incident photon energies between E γ = 309 MeV (threshold) and 792 MeV with the TAPS photon spectrometer at the Mainz Microtron MAMI. Both 3γ- and 4γ-events have been analysed in order to deduce the total p ( γ , 2 π 0 ) p cross section. The total cross section is less than 300 nb between threshold and ⋍ 460 MeV, beyond which it starts to rise to a maximum value of about 11 μb at around 750 MeV. For the highest energies it starts to decrease again. The 4γ-sample has been used to reconstruct 2 neutral pions from the above reaction channel by an invariant mass and a missing mass analysis. After reconstructio…
Evidence for the Rare DecayB→K*ℓ+ℓ−and Measurement of theB→Kℓ+ℓ−Branching Fraction
2003
We present evidence for the flavor-changing neutral current decay B-->K-*.(+).(-) and a measurement of the branching fraction for the related process B-->K.(+).(-), where .(+).(-) is either an e(+)e(-) or a mu(+)mu(-) pair. These decays are highly suppressed in the standard model, and they are sensitive to contributions from new particles in the intermediate state. The data sample comprises 123x10(6) Y(4S)-->B (B) over bar decays collected with the BABAR detector at the SLAC PEP-II e(+)e(-) storage ring. Averaging over K-(*) isospin and lepton flavor, we obtain the branching fractions B(B-->Kl(+)l(-))=(0.65(-0.13)(+0.14)+/-0.04)x10(-6) and B(B-->K(*)l(+)l(-))=(0.88(-0.29)(+0.33)+/-0.10)x10(…
Simultaneous description of the e+e−→J/ψππ(KK¯) processes
2020
In this work, we provide a simultaneous and accurate description of the ${\ensuremath{\pi}}^{+}{\ensuremath{\pi}}^{\ensuremath{-}}$ and ${\ensuremath{\pi}}^{\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}}J/\ensuremath{\psi}$ invariant mass distributions of the recent BESIII data on ${e}^{+}{e}^{\ensuremath{-}}\ensuremath{\rightarrow}J/\ensuremath{\psi}{\ensuremath{\pi}}^{+}{\ensuremath{\pi}}^{\ensuremath{-}}$, together with the ${e}^{+}{e}^{\ensuremath{-}}\ensuremath{\rightarrow}J/\ensuremath{\psi}{K}^{+}{K}^{\ensuremath{-}}$ cross sections at ${e}^{+}{e}^{\ensuremath{-}}$ center-of-mass energies $q=4.23\text{ }\text{ }\mathrm{GeV}$ and $q=4.26\text{ }\text{ }\mathrm{GeV}$. The rescattering effects between p…
Triangle mechanisms in the build up and decay of the N*(1875)
2017
We have studied the $N^*(1875) (3/2^-)$ resonance with a multichannel unitary scheme, considering the $\Delta \pi$ and $\Sigma^* K$, with their interaction extracted from chiral Lagrangians, and then have added two more channels, the $N^*(1535) \pi$ and $N \sigma$, which proceed via triangle diagrams involving the $\Sigma^* K$ and $\Delta \pi$ respectively in the intermediate states. The triangle diagram in the $N^*(1535) \pi$ case develops a singularity at the same energy as the resonance mass. We determine the couplings of the resonance to the different channels and the partial decay widths. We find a very large decay width to $\Sigma^* K$, and also see that, due to interference with othe…
The Bc → J/ΨKD weak decay and its relation with the D*s0(2317) resonance
2016
We study the influence of the D * s 0 (2317) + resonance in the decay B c → J/ψKD . In this process, we consider that the B c meson decays first into J/ψ and the quark pair cs , and then the quark pair hadronizes into DK or D s η components. The final state interaction, generating the D * s 0 (2317) + resonance, is described by the chiral heavy meson unitary approach. With the parameters chosen in order to match the pole position of the D * s 0 (2317) + , we obtain the DK invariant mass distribution of the decay B c → J/ψDK , and also the rate for B c → J/ψD * s 0 (2317). We predict the ratio of these two magnitudes. This decay mechanism has not been measured yet, and it would provide insig…
Two-photon exchange contribution to elastic e− -proton scattering: Full dispersive treatment of πN states and comparison with data
2017
We evaluate the two-photon exchange correction to the elastic electron-proton scattering cross section within a dispersive framework. Besides the elastic contribution, we account for all $\ensuremath{\pi}N$ intermediate state contributions using the phenomenological MAID fit as an input. We develop a novel method for the analytical continuation of the two-photon exchange amplitudes into the unphysical region and generalize our previous work to the momentum transfer region $0.064\text{ }\text{ }{\mathrm{GeV}}^{2}\ensuremath{\lesssim}{Q}^{2}\ensuremath{\lesssim}1\text{ }\text{ }{\mathrm{GeV}}^{2}$. We compare our results with recent OLYMPUS, CLAS and VEPP-3 data as well as with empirical fits…
AC Stark shift of the ground state of atomic hydrogen
2004
An analytical expression for the second-order AC Stark shift of the ground state of atomic hydrogen is derived, which is convergent for negative as well as for positive energies of intermediate states except for the resonances. To clarify the applicability of the second-order perturbation theory, we compared results with those which are obtained by us and other authors using nonperturbative methods. It appears that values obtained for the AC Stark shift using our simple formula agree on average with Floquet-method calculations up to the field strength F=0.12 (a.u.), which corresponds to I=1015 W/cm2.
Normal-state bubbles and lamellae in type-I superconductors
2005
International audience; We report an extensive study of the formation of normal-state domains in type-I superconductors. Domain patterns are first considered theoretically. The magnetic interaction between domains is described in the framework of the ``current-loop'' model: the intermediate state is modeled by a set of loops of screening current encircling the domains and interacting as in the free space. This system is shown to be formally equivalent to a set of uniformly magnetized domains. An extension of the current-loop model is proposed to take into account the constraint of the magnetic shielding by the superconducting regions. We determine the free energy of a hexagonal array of cyl…
