About 90% of Bs-bar Bs pairs produced at the Upsilon(5s) resonance are initially Bs*-bar Bs* pairs which decay radiatively to Bs-bar Bs. This implies that the Bs pair will then be in an eigenstate of charge conjugation (i.e. C=-1) and therefore in an entangled state. This allows for a determination of Delta Gamma/Gamma and the CP phase using a number of possible correlations between the decays of the two Bs mesons. In particular, we consider the time integrated correlation; the time ordering asymmetry and the time ordering-charge asymmetry, which in addition to time ordering distinguishes Bs from Bs-bar, for various combinations of final states. With the statistics of about O(10^7-10^8) Upsilon(5s) events available at B factories, we find that the time ordering asymmetry between suitably defined hadronic and flavor specific (tagging) decays offers a promising method for determining the width difference. The corresponding time ordering-charge asymmetry can also bound the mixing phase. Similar observables involving exclusive decays are also considered. At the super B factories with O(50) times greater luminosity time ordering and time ordering-charge asymmetries between inclusive and exclusive modes may also provide additional bounds on the phases in those decays;

最近来自Belle的数据显示了异常大的部分宽度Uppermont(5S)--> Uppermont(1 S)pi^+pi^-和Uppermont(5S)--> Uppermont(2S)pi^+ pi^-。Belle在psi' pi^+谱中也报道了Z(4430)窄共振,它具有预期的性质。(cbar c u dbar)带电等矢量四夸克态T^{+-}_cc底部扇区的类似态T^{+-}可能介导Upperdum系统中的巨大级联衰变,Upperdum(mS)--> T^{+-}_bb pi^{-+} --> Upperdum(nS)pi^+ π^-,四夸克-π介子中间态我们建议在这些衰变中寻找(bbar b u dbar)四夸克态,作为Uppersons(1 S)pi或Uppersons(2S)pi系统不变质量的峰值。(bbar b u sbar)四夸克态可以作为一个峰出现在所观察到的衰变Uppersons(5S)--> Uppersons(1 S)K^+ K^-中,它是Uppersons(1 S)K系统不变质量的一个峰。我们回顾的模型表明,这些四夸克是低于两个重介子阈值,但分别高于Uppermos pi pi和Uppermos K Kbar阈值。

考虑到关于D^{ \ast \pm }(2010)的全宽的新数据以及带电和中性美介子B^ \pm、B^0、\bar B^0的质量差,衰变的分支比为psi(3770)、Uppermance(10580)到pi^+pi^-、K bar K、ρ(omega)pi、ρ(omega)eta、ρ(omega)eta^prime、K^ast bar K+ c. c,rho^+ rho^-和K^ast bar K^ast在模型中被重新评估,在该模型中,由于在psi(3770)的情况下的真实中间状态D \bar D和在Uppersion(10580)的情况下的B \bar B,Okubo-Zweig-Iizuka规则被违反。本文讨论了Psi(3770)和Uppersons(10580)到轻强子的包容性湮灭。
Three-jet final states and measuring the $γγ$ width of the Higgs at a photon linear collider
对中等质量希格斯过程$γγ\to H \to b \bar b$的识别将是未来光子直线对撞机的最重要目标之一。通过在$J_z=0$初始状态配置中使用偏振光子束,可以通过因子$m_q^2/s$来抑制来自连续$γγ\to c \bar c, b \bar b$领先级过程的潜在重要背景。我们表明,相同的$m_q^2/s$ supplies不一定适用于辐射过程$γγ\to c \bar c g, b \bar b g$。当三个部分子中的两个共线时,或者当其中一个部分子是软的或直接沿着束管时,这些过程可以模仿希格斯信号的双射流拓扑结构。我们计算了这些过程对$J_z=0$通道中双喷流背景的贡献。我们调查施加额外的事件形状,射流宽度和二次顶点切割信号和背景的影响,并表明,合理的检测器的能力,它应该是可能的,以减少背景到一个可管理的水平。

我们证明了具有很轻CP奇标量(A)的一般双Higgs二重态模型(THDM)可以与ρ参数Br(b -> sγ),μ子的R_b,A_b,(g-2),Br(Upplane-> A γ)以及LEP下的Yukawa过程的直接搜索相容。对于0.2 GeV左右的质量,μ子(g-2)和Br(Upperdance-> A γ)数据要求tan(beta)约为1。因此,A可以表现得像一个疏费米CP-奇标量,并主要衰变为光子对(“gamma gamma”),当A的动量很大时,它在高能对撞机实验的探测器中记录为单光子签名。我们计算了Z --> A A A的部分衰变宽度和f \bar{f} --> Z A A--> Z +“gamma gamma”的产生率,f^{ \bar f} --> W^{ \pm } AA--> W^ \pm +“gamma gamma”和f \bar f --> H^+ H^- -> W ^+ W^-AA--> W^+ W^- +“gamma gamma”在高能对撞机,如LEP,Tevatron,LHC和未来的线性对撞机。还讨论了光A的其它产生机制,如gg --> h --> AA -->“gamma gamma”。
