Top quark pair spin correlation measurements performed by the ATLAS experiment using $pp$ collisions at the CERN Large Hadron Collider are summarized. Moreover, the measurement of a specific observable $D$ related to top quark pair spin…
One interpretation of how the classical world emerges from an underlying quantum reality involves the build-up of certain robust entanglements between particles due to scattering events [Science Vol.301 p.1081]. This is an appealing view…
With data collected during the first half of 2011 pp run of the Large Hadron Collider at \surds = 7 TeV, a substantial data sample of high p_T triggers, 1.08/fb, has been collected by the ATLAS detector. Measurements of the production of…
We consider the possibility that the lightest pentaquark is a parity even state, with one unit of orbital angular momentum. Working within the framework of a constituent quark model, we show that dominant spin-flavor interactions render…
Human agents happen to judge that a conjunction of two terms is more probable than one of the terms, in contradiction with the rules of classical probabilities---this is the conjunction fallacy. One of the most discussed accounts of this…
The top-quark mass is one of the fundamental parameters of the Standard Model of particle physics. The latest ATLAS measurements of the top-quark mass in top quark pair final states are presented. Measurements use di-lepton, lepton+jets and…
We search for strange pentaquark states that have been previously reported by other experiments -- the $\Theta(1540)^+$, $\Xi_5(1860)^{--}$, and $\Xi_5(1860)^0$ -- in 123 fb$^{-1}$ of data recorded with the BaBar detector at the PEP-II…
The strangeness $s=+1$ pentaquark states as $qqqq\bar{q}$ clusters are investigated in this letter. Starting from the inherent geometric symmetry, we analyzed the inherent nodal structure of the system. As the nodeless states, the low-lying…
We analyze a quantum measurement where the apparatus is initially in a mixed state. We show that the amount of information gained in a measurement is not equal to the amount of entanglement between the system and the apparatus, but is…
In this paper, we compared the general forms of CCA and PLS on three simulated and two empirical datasets, all having large sample sizes. We took successively smaller subsamples of these data to evaluate sensitivity, reliability, and…
Although the Theta has been listed as a three star resonance in the 2004 PDG,its existence is still not completely established. Now it is still of interest to see what QCD has to say on the subject, In this paper we review briefly the…
The CEBAF Large Acceptnace Spectrometer (CLAS) has been taking production data since February, 1998. It takes data for many reactions simultaneously with moderate resolution. Data has been taken for a variety of conditions with polarized…
We consider the classical correlations that two observers can extract by measurements on a bipartite quantum state, and we discuss how they are related to the quantum mutual information of the state. We show with several examples how…
According to Quantum Mechanics, the particles can exhibit either particle properties or wave properties depending on the experimental set up (wave-particle dualism). A special behavior occurs for a system of two entangled particles 1 and 2…
We present constraints on the {\it relative} photoproduction cross sections of positive parity pentaquark states, $\Sigma_5$, $\Lambda_5$, and $N_5$, based on a minimum phenomenology gained in $\gamma N \to K \Theta^+$ and their…
A textbook interpretation of quantum physics is that quantum objects can be described in a particle or a wave picture, depending on the operations and measurements performed. Beyond this widely held believe, we demonstrate in this…
We have searched for Theta^+(1540) and Xi^{--}(1862) pentaquark candidates in proton-induced reactions on C, Ti and W targets at mid-rapidity and \sqrt{s} = 41.6 GeV. In 2x10^8 inelastic events we find no evidence for narrow (sigma~5 MeV)…
The first evidence for the top quark at the Tevatron may indicate a cross section higher than the QCD expectation. We consider the possibility that isosinglet heavy quarks may be contributing to the signal and discuss ways of testing this…
Entanglement between the spins of top-quark pairs produced at a collider can be used to test a (generalized) Bell inequality at energies never explored so far. We show how the measurement of a single observable can provide a test of the…
We present an analysis of the newly observed pentaquark $P_c(4312)^+$ to shed light on its quantum numbers. To do that, the QCD sum rule approach is used. The measured mass of this particle is close to $\Sigma_c^{++}\bar{D}^-$ threshold and…
