We search for the flavor-changing neutral current decays D0\to mu+mu- and D0\to e+e-, and for the lepton-flavor violating decays D0\to e\pm mu\mp using 660 fb^-1 of data collected with the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric-energy e+e- collider. We find no evidence for any of these decays. We obtain significantly improved upper limits on the branching fractions: B(D0\to mu+mu-)<1.4x10-7, B(D0\to e+e-)<7.9x10-8, and B(D0\to e+mu-)+B(D0\to mu+e-)<2.6x10-7 at 90% confidence level.
本文研究了1991 ~ 1995年在LEP e ~+e-对撞机上用ALEPH探测器收集的400万个强子Z衰变样品中的纯轻子衰变Ds ~-> τ nu和Ds ~-> μ nu。从两个分析的组合中提取分支级分,一个优化以选择Ds -> tau nu衰变与tau -> e nu nubar或mu nu nubar,另一个优化Ds-> mu nu衰变。结果用于评估Ds衰变常数,在标准模型内:fDs = [285 +- 19(stat)+- 40(syst)] MeV
We review measurements of semileptonic and leptonic charm meson decays performed by the Belle experiment, and we use these results to estimate the sensitivity of the follow-on Belle II experiment to these decays.
The spectrum of the $s\bar s$ mesons is studied performing a phenomenological analysis of the Regge trajectories defined for the excitation energies. For the $ϕ(3 ^3S_1)$ state the mass $M(ϕ(3S))=2100(20)$ MeV and the leptonic width $Γ_{ee}(ϕ(3S))=0.27(2)$ keV are obtained, while the mass of the $2 ^3D_1$ state, $M(ϕ(2 ^3D_3))=2180(5)$ MeV, appears to be in agreement with the mass of the $ϕ(2170)$ resonance, and its leptonic width, $Γ_{ee}(2 ^3D_1)=0.20\pm 0.10$ keV, has a large theoretical uncertainty, depending on the parameters of the flattened confining potential.
The study of the purely leptonic decays of the ground charged vector mesons is very interesting and significant in determining the CKM matrix elements, obtaining the decay constant of vector mesons, examining the lepton flavor universality, and searching for new physics beyond the standard model. These purely leptonic decays of the ground charged vector mesons are induced by the weak interactions within the standard model, and usually have very small branching ratios, ${\cal B}(ρ^{-}{\to}{\ell}^{-}ν_{\ell})$ ${\sim}$ ${\cal O}(10^{-13})$, ${\cal B}(K^{{\ast}-}{\to}{\ell}^{-}ν_{\ell})$ ${\sim}$…
Leptonic and semi-leptonic $D$ decays at BESIII contribute the most precise experimental measurement of $|V_{cs(d)}|$ and form factor $f_{D_{(s)}}$ in the world based on 2.93 fb$^{-1}$ and 3.19 fb$^{-1}$ data taken at center-of-mass energies $\sqrt{s} = 3.773$ and 4.180~GeV, respectively. The largest samples at the mass threshold of the charmed hardons $D_{(s)}$ also provide chances to extract form factors of some semi-electronic decays for the first time and together with the semi-muonic decays we could understand lepton flavour universality better.
Inclusive semi-leptonic B meson decay structure functions from lattice QCD
本文提出了一种非微扰计算包含半轻子B介子衰变的前向散射矩阵元的方法。通过对四点关联函数的格点量子色动力学计算,可以得到相应的强子非物理运动学结构函数。非物理运动学点可由物理微分衰减率解析延拓得到。在零反冲极限下,对B_s -> X_c l nu模进行了数值检验。我们使用2+1动力学夸克味产生的晶格系综。价粲夸克的质量被调谐到它的物理值,而底夸克的质量在(1.56-2.44)mc范围内变化。从数值结果中我们可以看出基态D_s^(*)介子的贡献以及激发态和连续态的贡献。
Leptonic Decays of Charged Pseudoscalar Mesons - 2015
本文综述了$π^\pm$、$K^\pm$、$D^{\pm}$、$D_s^\pm$和$B^\pm$赝标介子的纯轻子衰变物理。所测得的衰变率与组分夸克的相关弱相互作用CKM矩阵元和与介子中夸克和反夸克波函数重叠相关的强相互作用参数(称为衰变常数$f_P$)的乘积有关。用{ \it ab initio}格点QCD模拟方法,可以得到$π^\pm$、$K^\pm$、$D^{\pm}$、$D_s^\pm$和$B^\pm$介子的轻子衰变常数,理论不确定度可控,计算精度高.实验轻子衰变率测量和理论衰变常数计算相结合,使几个元素的CKM矩阵内的标准模型的确定。这些测定与半轻子衰变的结果是竞争性的,也是互补的,因为它们对不同的夸克变味电流敏感。它们也可以用来测试CKM矩阵的第一行和第二行的酉性。相反地,采用由么正性预测的CKM元素,可以推断出$f_P$的“实验”值,其可以与理论进行比较。这些提供了格点QCD方法的测试,假设新物理对轻子衰变的贡献在当前的精度水平上可以忽略不计。这篇评论是粒子数据组2016年版文章的基础,更新了参考文献中的版本。[1-3]中所述。
Kinematic variables designed for pairwise decays to partly undetected final states -- a prominent example being $M_{T2}$ and its Lorentz-invariant version $M_2$ -- have been extensively deployed in high-$p_T$ collider searches. A new range of potential applications at flavour facilities -- where $B$ mesons or $τ$ leptons are also pairwise produced -- was recently proposed. One general challenge in these decays arises if both the signal parent and the 'other' parent, often used as a tag, decay semi-invisibly. In such cases, which notably include semi-leptonic tags, signal identification is gene…
We compute the Darwin operator contribution ($1/m_b^3$ correction) to the width of the inclusive non-leptonic decay of a $B$ meson ($B^+$, $B_d$ or $B_s$), stemming from the quark flavour-changing transition $b \to q_1 \bar q_2 q_3$, where $q_1,q_2 = u, c$ and $q_3 = d, s$. The key ideas of the computation are the local expansion of the quark propagator in the external gluon field including terms with covariant derivative of the gluon field strength tensor and the standard technique of the Heavy Quark Expansion (HQE). We confirm the previously known expressions of the $1/m_b^3$ contributions t…
Employing the QCD factorization formalism we compute $B_{u}^{-} \to γ^{\ast} \, \ell \, \bar ν_{\ell}$ form factors with an off-shell photon state possessing the virtuality of order $m_b \, Λ_{\rm QCD}$ and $m_b^2$, respectively, at next-to-leading order in QCD. Perturbative resummation for the enhanced logarithms of $m_b / Λ_{\rm QCD}$ in the resulting factorization formulae is subsequently accomplished at next-to-leading logarithmic accuracy with the renormalization-group technique in momentum space. In particular, we derive the soft-collinear factorization formulae for a variety of the subl…
