We study untriggered di-hadron correlations in Pb+Pb at 2.76 TeV, based on an event-by-event simulation of a hydrodynamic expansion starting from flux tube initial conditions. The correlation function shows interesting structures as a…
The Kondo effect, a hallmark of many-body physics, emerges from the antiferromagnetic coupling between localized spins and conduction fermions, leading to a correlated many-body singlet state. Here we propose to use the mixed-dimensional…
This paper briefly reviews the striking experimental observation of a ridge-like dihadron correlation structure in high multiplicity proton-proton collisions at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). Recent progress of both experimental and…
Motivated by the unusual features observed in the transport properties of the ferromagnetic "bad metal" $SrRuO_{3}$, we construct a model incorporating essential features of the realistic structure of this nearly cubic material. In…
It is difficult to intuit how electronic structure features$-$such as band gap magnitude, location of band extrema, effective masses, etc.$-$arise from the underlying crystal chemistry of a material. Here we present a strategy to distill…
Heavy-ion collisions provide a unique opportunity to study the nature of X(3872) compared with electron-positron and proton-proton (antiproton) collisions. We investigate the centrality and momentum dependence of X(3872) in heavy-ion…
We present the new studies which are performed with the aim of better understanding the production mechanisms for strange particles, and hence the strangeness enhancement phenomenon, in small-collision systems. In one of the recent studies,…
X-ray structure factors from four-component molecular wave functions have been calculated for the model systems $M$(C$_2$H$_2$) ($M$= Ni, Pd, Pt). Relativistic effects on the structure factors are investigated by the comparison to results…
Boosting superconductivity by metallic reservoirs is the essence of Kivelson's bilayer proposal. One layer provides pairing to the electrons, while the weakly coupled metal provides additional phase coherence to those pairs by mediating…
The LHCb collaboration reported the observation of a narrow peak in the $D^- K^+$ invariant mass distributions from the $B^+\to D^+ D^- K^+$ decay. The peak is parameterized in terms of two resonances $X_0(2900)$ and $X_1(2900)$ with the…
We obtain a model-independent expression for the complete Dalitz plot of semileptonic decays of polarized hyperons, which includes both the three-body and the four-body regions. We calculate radiative corrections to order alpha, neglecting…
The large localized CP asymmetries observed by LHCb in three-body charmless decays of $B$ mesons brings new challenge for experimentalists and their traditional models to fit data. With higher statistics, rescattering and three-body…
The decay process $B\to D^+ D^- \pi^0$ is an interesting channel for the investigation of CP violating effects in the $b-$ sector. We write down a decay amplitude constrained by a low-energy theorem, which also includes the contribution of…
A unitary coupled-channels model is presented for investigating the decays of heavy mesons and excited meson states into three light pseudoscalar mesons. The model accounts for the three-mesons final state interactions in the decay…
We present a Dalitz plot analysis of B- --> D+ pi- pi- decays, based on a sample of about 383 million Y(4S) --> BBbar decays collected by the BaBar detector at the PEP-II asymmetric-energy B Factory at SLAC. The analysis has been published…
We present the first results on the Dalitz-plot structure and improved measurements of the time-dependent CP-violation parameters of the process $B^0 \rightarrow K^0_S K^0_S K^0_S$ obtained using $468\times10^{6}$ $B\bar{B}$ decays…
We propose a physically motivated decomposition of DFT 3-body nonadditive interaction energies into the exchange and density-deformation (polarization) components. The exchange component represents the effect of the Pauli exclusion in the…
The availaible data on the D0 to K0S pi+ pi- decays are analysed in the framework of the quasi two-body QCD factorization approximation. The annihilation, via W-exchange, amplitudes are added to the weak-decay tree amplitudes. The doubly…
Motivated by the recent evidence for direct CP-violation in D0 -> h+h- decays, we provide an exhaustive study of both Cabibbo-favored and Cabibbo-suppressed (singly and doubly) D0 -> h1+h2-l+l- decays. In particular, we study the Dalitz…
Strongly interacting models often possess "dualities" subtler than a one-to-one mapping of energy levels. The maps can be non-invertible, as apparent in the canonical example of Kramers and Wannier. We analyse an algebraic structure common…
