The spectrum of electrons from muons decaying in an atomic bound state is significantly modified by their interaction with the nucleus. Somewhat unexpectedly, its first measurement, at the Canadian laboratory TRIUMF, differed from basic…
It is tried to axiomatize the transparent theory of music.
The role of implicit assumptions in current decoherence theory is pointed out and clarified.
We discuss the possibility of making the {\it initial} definitions of mutually different (possibly interacting, or even entangled) systems in the context of decoherence theory. We point out relativity of the concept of elementary physical…
At CLEO, the charmonium singlet states eta_c(2 1S0) and h_c(1 1P1) have been firmly identified and a long standing discrepancy for Gamma_(gamma gamma)(chi_c2) has been resolved.
We present a thermodynamical investigation of the alpha-gamma transition of Ce using first principles calculation based on the combination of Density Functional Theory with Dynamical Mean Field Theory. First, the scheme allows for an…
The $C\!P$ asymmetry and branching fraction of the CKM-suppressed decay $B^+\!\to J\mskip -3mu/\mskip -2mu\psi\,\pi^+$ are precisely measured relative to the favoured decay $B^+\!\to J\mskip -3mu/\mskip -2mu\psi\,K^+$, using a sample of…
The aim of this note is to extend the energy decay estimates from [J. Wirth, J. Differential Equations 222 (2006) 487--514] to a broader class of time-dependent dissipation including very fast oscillations. This is achieved using…
I use an instrumental approach to investigate some commonly made claims about interpretations of quantum mechanics, especially those that pertain questions of locality. The here presented investigation builds on a recently proposed taxonomy…
Many extensions of the Standard Model predict large numbers of additional unstable particles whose decays in the early universe are tightly constrained by observational data. For example, the decays of such particles can alter the ratios of…
A review of chiral perturbation theory and that of recent developments on the comparison of its predictions with experiment is presented. Some interesting topics with scope for further elaboration are touched upon.
In this concise, albeit subjective review of structure formation, I shall introduce the cosmological standard model and its theoretical and observational underpinnings. I will focus on recent results and current issues in theoretical…
Some years ago, the harmonic polynomial was introduced in order to understand better the harmonic topological index; for instance, it allows to obtain bounds of the harmonic index of the main products of graphs. Here, we obtain several…
We study the influence of possible molecular structures in the charmonium spectrum. We focus on the $0^{++}$ and $1^{--}$ sectors. In the first one we coupled the $2 ^3P_0$ $q\bar q$ pair with $DD$, $J/\psi \omega$, $D_sD_s$ and…
We present recent results in semileptonic and non-leptonic exclusive $B_c$ decays to charmonium states both in $S$-wave, $J/\psi$ and $\eta_c$, and in $P$-wave, $\chi_{cJ}$ and $h_c$. The analysis, based on the heavy quark spin symmetry…
Motivated by the recent measurement of $D^0\to\rho^0\gamma$ improved standard model (SM) predictions for branching ratios and CP asymmetries of radiative charm decay are given. Weak annihilation induced decays are probes of non-perturbative…
In the last decades, a very important breakthrough has been brought in the elementary particle physics by the discovery of the phenomenon of the neutrino oscillations, which has shown neutrino properties beyond the Standard Model. But a…
We present a global fit of current available experimental results on $\chi_c$ decays within next-to-leading-order perturbative QCD. The quality and reduced errors of recent data improve the agreement between theory and experiment.
There are many exotic properties of the charmonium and charmoniumlike states above $D\bar{D}$ threshold. The recent experimental results from BaBar and Belle on the new and conventional charmonium states are reviewed in this talk.
We compute the O(alpha_s^2) correction to the decay rate eta_c --> gamma gamma and discuss its implications for precision quarkonium physics. We study the suitability of the ratio Gamma(J/psi --> e+e-)/Gamma(eta_c --> gamma gamma), in which…
