We present a general formalism to write the decay amplitude for multibody reactions with explicit separation of the rotational degrees of freedom, which are well controlled by the spin of the decay particle, and dynamic functions on the…

In the present work, we estimate the decays of the $X(5568)$ and $X(5616)$ in a $B \bar{K}$ and a $B^\ast \bar{K}$ $S$-wave hadronic molecule scenarios, respectively, which may corresponding to the structure observed by D0 Collaboration.…

We extend the framework of QCD factorization to non-leptonic $B$ decays into three light mesons, taking as an example the decay $B^+ \to \pi^+ \pi^+ \pi^-$. We discuss the factorization properties of this decay in different regions of phase…

A three-body quantum correlation is calculated for two particles reflecting from a mirror. Correlated interference, a consequence of conservation of energy and momentum, occurs for states in which the order of reflection is indeterminate.…

We discuss medium effects on light cluster production in the QCD phase diagram within a generalized Beth-Uhlenbeck (GBU) approach by relating Mott transition lines to those for chemical freeze-out. We find that in heavy-ion collisions at…

Although thermal disk emission is suppressed or absent in the hard state of X-ray binaries, the presence of a cold, thin disk can be inferred from signatures of reprocessing in the ~2-50 keV band. The strength of this signature is dependent…

We exploit the quantum coherence between pair-produced D0 and D0B in psi(3770) decays to make a first determination of the relative strong phase differences between D0--> K0Spi+pi- and D0B--> K0Spi+pi-, which are of great importance in…

We report results of a Dalitz plot analysis of the three-body charmless B0=>K0pi+pi- decay. The analysis is performed with a data sample that contains 388 million BBbar pairs collected near the Y(4S) resonance with the Belle detector at the…

We examine the structural properties of free standing II-VI and III-V semiconductors at the monolayer limit within first principle density functional theory calculations. A non-polar buckled structure was found to be favoured over a polar…

The Klein paradox describes an incoming electron being scattered at a supercritical barrier to create electron-positron pairs, a phenomenon widely discussed in textbooks. While demonstrating this phenomenon experimentally with the…

The BESIII collaboration recently observed a charged hidden-charm structure with strangeness in the recoil mass spectrum of $K^+$ in the processes $e^+e^- \to D^-_s D^{*0} K^+$ or $D^{*-}_s D^0 K^+$, named as $Z_{cs}(3985)^-$. Within the…

Very recently, the BESIII collaboration reported a charged hidden-charm structure with strangeness in the recoil mass of $K^+$ of a process $e^+e^-\to D_s^{*-}D^0K^+$ or $D_s^{-}D^{*0}K^+$, which is named as $Z_{cs}(3985)^{-}$. The newly…

Inclusive e$^+$e$^-$ production has been studied with HADES in $\pi^-$ + p, $\pi^-$ + C and $\pi^- + \mathrm{CH}_2$ reactions, using the GSI pion beam at $\sqrt{s_{\pi p}}$ = 1.49 GeV. Invariant mass and transverse momentum distributions…

Schwarzites are porous structures that present negative Gaussian curvatures. Although initially proposed for carbon, in principle, schwarzites of other elements are possible. In this work, we have carried out a detailed investigation of the…

We present the fully general, model independent study of a few rare semileptonic $B$ decays that get dominant contributions from $W$-annihilation and $W$-exchange diagrams, in particular $B^0 \to \bar{D}^0 \ell^+\ell^-$, where $\ell =…

Disordered heterostructures stand as a general description for compounds that are part of homologous series such as bismuth chalcogenides. In device engineering, van der Waals epitaxy of these compounds is very promising for applications in…

The ATLAS, CMS and LHCb collaborations have reported data for the inclusive production of lepton pairs with invariant mass 80-100 GeV in pp collisions. We find the ATLAS data from at $\sqrt{s}$ =8 TeV shows an unexpected vortex-like…

We describe B-hadron production in e+e- annihilation at the Z pole by means of a model including non-perturbative corrections to b-quark fragmentation as originating, via multiple soft emissions, from an effective QCD coupling constant,…

Recent observations of extended pseudorapidity correlations at the LHC in p+p and p+Pb collisions are of great interest. Here we present related re- sults from d+Au collisions at PHENIX. We present the observed v2 and discuss the possible…

Fractionalization is a phenomenon in which strong interactions in a quantum system drive the emergence of excitations with quantum numbers that are absent in the building blocks. Outstanding examples are excitations with charge e/3 in the…
