Pion photo- and electroproduction in relativistic baryon chiral perturbation theory and the chiral MAID interface
2013
We present a calculation of pion photo- and electroproduction in manifestly Lorentz-invariant baryon chiral perturbation theory up to and including order ${q}^{4}$. We fix the low-energy constants by fitting experimental data in all available reaction channels. Our results can be accessed via a Web interface, the so-called chiral MAID. We explain how our program works and how it can be used for further analysis.
Backward production of mesons associated with? ++(1232) in? + p interactions at 20 GeV/c
1991
We have analyzed backward meson production inπ + p reactions at 20GeV/c, which were measured in the CERN Ω spectrometer triggered by a fast proton (p f ), in experiment WA56. Production via baryon exchange of quasi-two-body final statesΔ ++ (1232)ρ 0 (770),Δ ++ (1232)f 2 (1270), andΔ ++ (1232)ρ 3 0 (1690) is clearly identified. The density matrix elements of meson resonances and ofΔ ++ (1232) are analyzed. We have observed also the reactionsπ + p→Δ ++ (1232)π 0 andπ + p→Δ ++ (1232)ω in thep f π + π 0 andp f π + π + π − π 0 final states.
Determination of theη′-Proton Scattering Length in Free Space
2014
Taking advantage of both the high mass resolution of the COSY-11 detector and the high energy resolution of the low-emittance proton beam of the cooler synchrotron COSY, we determine the excitation function for the $pp\ensuremath{\rightarrow}pp{\ensuremath{\eta}}^{\ensuremath{'}}$ reaction close to threshold. Combining these data with previous results, we extract the scattering length for the ${\ensuremath{\eta}}^{\ensuremath{'}}$-proton potential in free space to be $\mathrm{Re}({a}_{p{\ensuremath{\eta}}^{\ensuremath{'}}})=0\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}0.43\text{ }\text{ }\mathrm{fm}$ and $\mathrm{Im}({a}_{p{\ensuremath{\eta}}^{\ensuremath{'}}})={0.37}_{\ensuremath{-}0.16}^{+0.40}\text{ }\t…

Discrete Symmetries CP, T, CPT
2016
The role of Symmetry Breaking mechanisms to search for New Physics is of highest importance. We discuss the status and prospects of the Discrete Symmetries CP, T, CPT looking for their separate Violation in LHC experiments and meson factories.
η−3Nproblem with separable interactions
2002
The $\eta$-3N-interaction is studied within the four-body Faddeev-Yakubovsky theory adopting purely separable forms for the two- and three-body subamplitudes, limiting the basic two-body interactions to s-waves only. The corresponding separable approximation for the integral kernels is obtained by using the Hilbert-Schmidt procedure. Results are presented for the $\eta$-$^3$H scattering amplitude and for the total elastic cross section for energies below the triton break-up threshold.
Evidence for B$^{0}_{s}$ meson production in Z$^0$ decays
1992
Seven unambiguous events out of a sample of 270 000 Z0 decays, contain in tile same jet a D(s) meson and a muon at large transverse momentum relative to the et axis. These events are direct evidence for B(s)0 meson production in hadronic Z0 decays. The production rate of these events, relative to all hadronic Z0 decays is ( 18 +/- 8) x 10(-5) this number including the relevant branching fractions of the B(s)0 and D(s). The value of the B(s)0 meson lifetime relative to the average B meson lifetime is measured to be 0.8 +/- 0.4.
Charged lepton induced one kaon production off the nucleon
2013
We study single kaon production off the nucleon induced by electrons (positrons) i.e., e(-) (e(+)) + N -> v(e) ((v) over bar (e)) + (K) over bar (K) + N' at low energies. The possibility of observing these processes with the high luminosity beams available at TJNAF and Mainz is discussed, taking into account that the strangeness conserving electromagnetic reactions have a higher energy threshold for (K) over bar (K) production. The calculations are done using a microscopic model that starts from the SU(3) chiral Lagrangians and includes background terms and the resonant mechanisms associated to the lowest lying resonance Sigma*(1385)
Measurements of forward proton production with incident protons and charged pions on nuclear targets at the CERN Proton Synchroton
2010
Measurements of the double-differential proton production cross-section d(2 sigma)/dpd Omega in the range of momentum 0.5 GeV/c <= p < 8.0 GeV/c and angle 0.05 rad <= theta < 0.25 rad in collisions of charged pions and protons on beryllium, carbon, aluminium, copper, tin, tantalum, and lead are presented. The data were taken with the large acceptance HARP detector in the T9 beam line of the CERN Proton Synchrotron. Incident particles were identified by an elaborate system of beam detectors and impinged on a target of 5% of a nuclear interaction length. The tracking and identification of the produced particles was performed using the forward spectrometer of the HARP experiment. Results are o…
Study ofB→DsJ(*)+D¯(*)Decays
2004
We report a study of D-sJ(*)(2317)(+) and D-sJ(2460)(+) meson production in B decays. We observe the decays B+--> D-sJ((*)+)(D) over bar ((*)0) and B-0 --> DsJ(*)+D(*)- with the subsequent decays D-sJ(*)(2317)(+)-->D(s)(+)pi(0), D-sJ(2460)(+)-->D(s)(+)gamma, and D-sJ(2460)(+)-->D(s)(*+)pi(0). Based on a data sample of 122.1x10(6) B(B) over bar pairs collected with the BABAR detector at the PEP-II B factory, we obtain branching fractions for these modes, including the previously unseen decays B-->(DsJ(*)+D*). In addition, we perform an angular analysis of D-sJ(2460)(+)-->D(s)(+)gamma decays to test the different D-sJ(2460)(+) spin hypotheses.
