The resonant structure of the doubly Cabibbo-suppressed decay $D^+ \to K^-K^+K^+$ is studied for the first time. The measurement is based on a sample of pp-collision data, collected at a centre-of-mass energy of 8 TeV with the LHCb detector…
$D^0-\bar{D}^0$ mixing at a detectable level requires the presence of new physics and may lead to some observable effects in weak decays of $B$ mesons. We show that $CP$ violation induced by $D^0-\bar{D}^0$ mixing can manifest itself in the…
We study novel effects in non-centrosymmetric superconductors arising from their unique coupling of Cooper-pair condensate and elasticity. We show that although the much discussed Lifshitz coupling is not observable in a uniform bulk state,…
The recent experimental observations of the quantum Hall effect in 3D topological semimetals have attracted great attention, but there are still debates on its origin. We systematically study the dependence of the quantum Hall effect in…
The BESIII Collaboration recently reported the observation of the $a_0(980)^0-f_0(980)$ mixing in the isospin breaking decay $J/\psi\to \eta\pi^0\phi$. In the Dalitz plot for that decay with the $\eta$ reconstructed from two photons, there…
We present a first-principles analysis of the wurtzite pseudo-ternary (Al,Sc,B)N to elucidate the structural origin of a decoupling between stiffness $C_{33}$ and piezoelectric response $e_{33}$ upon boron incorporation, using DFT-relaxed…
It was proposed that the narrow $P_c(4450)$ structure observed by the LHCb Collaboration in the reaction $\Lambda_b\to J/\psi p K$ might be due to a triangle singularity around the $\chi_{c1}$--proton threshold at 4.45~GeV. We discuss the…
I discuss the impact of the the coherent parton radiation on semi-inclusive production of hadrons in deep inelastic scattering at lepton-proton colliders. Such radiation can be consistently described in the $b$-space resummation formalism,…
The spectrum of hadrons is important for understanding the confinement of quantum chromodynamics. Many new puzzles arose since 2003 due to the abundance of experimental discoveries with the $XYZ$ structures in the heavy quarkonium mass…
We report results on the Dalitz analysis of three-body charmless B+=>K+pi+pi-, B0=>K0pi+pi- and B+=>K+K+K- decays including searches for direct CP violation in the B+=>K+pi+pi- mode. Branching fractions for a number of quasi-two-body…
We describe two recent results using data collected with the CLEO detector at the CESR e+e- collider at energies near the Upsilon(4S). The first is a Dalitz plot analysis of the decay D0->K0spi+pi-. We observe a rich structure including the…
Our concern in this paper is the energy form induced by an eigenfunction of a self-adjoint extension of the restriction of the Laplace operator to $C_c^\infty(\mathbf{R}^3\setminus \{0\})$. We will prove that this energy form is a regular…
The stacking of different 2D materials provides a promising approach to realize new states of quantum matter. In this combined scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) and density functional theory (DFT) study we show that the structure in…
Particle production in two-photon interactions at hadronic collisions is becoming increasingly relevant in the LHC physics programme as a way to improve our understanding of the Standard Model and search for signals of New Physics. A key…
A Dalitz plot analysis of the $D_s^+ \to \pi^- \pi^+ \pi^+$ decay is presented. The analysis is based on proton-proton collision data recorded by the LHCb experiment at a centre-of-mass energy of $8$ TeV and corresponding to an integrated…
Each unit cell in YBa$_2$Cu$_3$O$_{6+x}$ contains a pair of two-dimensional CuO$_2$ layers. While the crystal structure is globally inversion symmetric, the individual layers are not. This leads, necessarily, to a nonvanishing Rashba…
A topological Dirac semimetal is a novel state of quantum matter which has recently attracted much attention as an apparent 3D version of graphene. In this paper, we report critically important results on the electronic structure of the 3D…
The LHCb Collaboration has recently observed four $J/\psi\phi$ structures called $X(4140)$, $X(4274)$, $X(4500)$ and $X(4700)$ in the $B^{+}\to J/\psi\phi K^{+}$ decays. We study them herein using a nonrelativistic constituent quark model…
