Meson baryon components in the states of the baryon decuplet
2013
We apply an extension of the Weinberg compositeness condition on partial waves of $L=1$ and resonant states to determine the weight of meson-baryon component in the $\Delta(1232)$ resonance and the other members of the $J^P= \frac{3}{2}^+$ baryon decuplet. We obtain an appreciable weight of $\pi N$ in the $\Delta(1232)$ wave function, of the order of 60 \%, which looks more natural when one recalls that experiments on deep inelastic and Drell Yan give a fraction of $\pi N$ component of 34 \% for the nucleon. We also show that, as we go to higher energies in the members of the decuplet, the weights of meson-baryon component decrease and they already show a dominant part for a genuine, non me…
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.
Triangle singularity enhancing isospin violation in $D_s^ + \to {\pi ^ + }{\pi ^0}{f_0}(980)$ and $\overline B _s^0 \to J/\psi {\pi ^0}{f_0}(980)$ de…
2019
We investigate isospin violation in the and reactions, which proceed via a triangle mechanism. We show that the mechanism develops a singularity around the π 0 f 0 (980) or π 0 a0 (980) invariant mass of 1420 MeV where the π 0 f 0 and π 0 a0 decay modes are magnified and also the ratio of π 0 f0 to π 0 a0 production, stressing the role of the triangle singularities as a factor to enhance isospin violation. The measurement of these reactions would bring further information into the role of triangle singularities in isospin violation and the a 0 – f 0 mixing in particular and shed further light into the nature of the low lying scalar mesons.
Regge phenomenology of theN*andΔ*poles
2019
We use Regge phenomenology to study the structure of the poles of the ${N}^{*}$ and ${\mathrm{\ensuremath{\Delta}}}^{*}$ spectrum. We employ the available pole extractions from partial wave analysis of meson scattering and photoproduction data. We assess the importance of the imaginary part of the poles (widths) to obtain a consistent determination of the parameters of the Regge trajectory. We compare the several pole extractions and show how Regge phenomenology can be used to gain insight into the internal structure of baryons. We find that the majority of the states in the parent Regge trajectories are compatible with a mostly compact three-quark state picture.
Measurement of directCPviolation parameters inB±→J/ψK±andB±→J/ψπ±decays with10.4 fb−1of Tevatron data
2013
We present a measurement of the direct CP-violating charge asymmetry in B-+/- mesons decaying to J/psi K-+/- and J/psi pi(+/-) where J/psi decays to mu(+)mu(-), using the full run II data set of 10.4 fb(-1) of proton-antiproton collisions collected using the D0 detector at the Fermilab Tevatron Collider. A difference in the yield of B- and B+ mesons in these decays is found by fitting to the difference between their reconstructed invariant mass distributions resulting in asymmetries of A(J/psi K) = [0.59 +/- 0.37]%, which is the most precise measurement to date, and A(J/psi pi) = [-4.2 +/- 4.5]%. Both measurements are consistent with standard model predictions.
Observation of theBcMeson in the Exclusive DecayBc→J/ψπ
2008
A fully reconstructed B-c -> J/psi pi signal is observed with the D0 detector at the Fermilab Tevatron p (p) over bar collider using 1.3 fb(-1) of integrated luminosity. The signal consists of 54 +/- 12 candidates with a significance that exceeds 5 standard deviations, and confirms earlier observations of this decay. The measured mass of the B-c meson is 6300 +/- 14(stat)+/- 5(syst) MeV/c(2).
Measurement of Inclusive Differential Cross Sections forΥ(1S)Production inpp¯Collisions ats=1.96 TeV
2005
We present measurements of the inclusive production cross sections of the Upsilon(1S) bottomonium state in p (p) over bar collisions at root s=1.96 TeV. Using the Upsilon(1S)->mu(+)mu(-) decay mode for a data sample of 159 +/- 10 pb(-1) collected by the D0 detector at the Fermilab Tevatron collider, we determine the differential cross sections as a function of the Upsilon(1S) transverse momentum for three ranges of the Upsilon(1S) rapidity: 0 <\y(Upsilon)\<= 0.6, 0.6 <\y(Upsilon)\<= 1.2, and 1.2 <\y(Upsilon)\<= 1.8.
Measurement of the Semileptonic Charge Asymmetry usingBs0→DsμXDecays
2013
We present a measurement of the time-integrated flavor-specific semileptonic charge asymmetry in the decays of B{sub s}{sup 0} mesons that have undergone flavor mixing, a{sub sl}{sup s}, using B{sub s}{sup 0} ({bar B}{sub s}{sup 0}) {yields} D{sub s}{sup {-+}} {mu}{sup {+-}} X decays, with D{sub s}{sup {-+}} {yields} {phi}{pi}{sup {-+}} and {phi} {yields} K{sup +}K{sup -}, using 10.4 fb{sup -1} of proton-antiproton collisions collected by the D0 detector during Run II at the Fermilab Tevatron Collider. A fit to the difference between the time-integrated D{sub s}{sup -} and D{sub s}{sup +} mass distributions of the B{sub s}{sup 0} and {bar B}{sub s}{sup 0} candidates yields the flavor-specif…
First Observation ofCPViolation inB¯0→DCP(*)h0Decays by a Combined Time-Dependent Analysis ofBABARand Belle Data
2015
We report a measurement of the time-dependent CP asymmetry of B0->D(*)CP h0 decays, where the light neutral hadron h0 is a pi0, eta or omega meson, and the neutral D meson is reconstructed in the CP eigenstates K+ K-, K0S pi0 or K0S omega. The measurement is performed combining the final data samples collected at the Y(4S) resonance by the BaBar and Belle experiments at the asymmetric-energy B factories PEP-II at SLAC and KEKB at KEK, respectively. The data samples contain ( 471 +/- 3 ) x 10^6 BB pairs recorded by the BaBar detector and ( 772 +/- 11 ) x 10^6, BB pairs recorded by the Belle detector. We measure the CP asymmetry parameters -eta_f S = +0.66 +/- 0.10 (stat.) +/- 0.06 (syst.) an…
Measurement of the Difference of Time-IntegratedCPAsymmetries inD0→K−K+andD0→π−π+Decays
2016
A search for CP violation in $D^0 \rightarrow K^{-} K^{+} $ and $D^0 \rightarrow \pi^{-} \pi^{+} $ decays is performed using $pp$ collision data, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of $3~fb^{-1}$, collected using the LHCb detector at centre-of-mass energies of 7 and $8~$TeV. The flavour of the charm meson is inferred from the charge of the pion in $D^{*+}\rightarrow D^0\pi^+$ and $D^{*-}\rightarrow \bar{D^0}\pi^{-}$ decays. The difference between the CP asymmetries in $D^0 \rightarrow K^{-} K^{+} $ and $D^0 \rightarrow \pi^{-} \pi^{+} $ decays, $\Delta A_{CP} \equiv A_{CP}(K^{-} K^{+}) - A_{CP}(\pi^{-} \pi^{+})$, is measured to be $\left( -0.10 \pm 0.08(stat) \pm 0.03(syst) \right) \…
