We present a new paradigm for the design of exchange-correlation functionals in density-functional theory. Electron pairs are correlated explicitly by means of the recently developed second order Bethe-Goldstone equation (BGE2) approach.…
Quantum correlations between two or more different degrees of freedom of the same particle is sometimes referred to as intraparticle entanglement. In this work, we study these intra-particle correlations between two different degrees of…
We report evidence for the $B$ meson decays, $B^\pm\to J/\psi \eta K^\pm$ and $B^0\to J/\psi \eta K^0_S$, using {90} million $B\bar B$ events collected at the $\ensuremath{\Upsilon{(4S)}}$ resonance with the \babar detector at the PEP-II…
We report the first observation of $B^{\pm}\to\psi(2S)\pi^{\pm}$, a Cabibbo- and color-suppressed decay. This analysis is based on $657\times10^{6}$ $B\overline B$ events collected at the $\Upsilon(4S)$ resonance with the Belle detector at…
I discuss the matching relations for the running renormalizable parameters when the heavy particles (top quark, Higgs scalar, Z and W vector bosons) are simultaneously decoupled from the Standard Model. The complete two-loop order matching…
Interactions between quasiparticles are of fundamental importance and ultimately determine the macroscopic properties of quantum matter. A famous example is the phenomenon of superconductivity, which arises from attractive electron-electron…
We report the first observation of the decays $B^0 \rightarrow p\bar{\Lambda} D^{(*)-}$. The data sample of $711$ fb$^{-1}$ used in this analysis corresponds to $772$ million $B\bar{B}$ pairs, collected at the $\Upsilon(4S)$ resonance by…
The ${\cal O}(\alpha_s^2)$ coefficient of the energy-energy correlation function (EEC) has been calculated by four groups with differing results. This discrepancy has lead to some confusion over how to measure the strong coupling constant…
The azimuthal distribution of pairs of particles in a jet is sensitive to the transverse polarization of the quark initiating the jet, but with a sensitivity that involves a nonperturbative analyzing power. We show in detail how to measure…
We analyse the entanglement generation in a one dimensional scattering process. The two colliding particles have a Gaussian wave function and interact by hard--core repulsion.In our analysis results on the entanglement of two mode Gaussian…
The $B^0$-$\bar B^0$ oscillation frequency has been measured with a sample of 23 million $\B\bar B$ pairs collected with the BABAR detector at the PEP-II asymmetric B Factory at SLAC. In this sample, we select events in which both B mesons…
We study the spin-entangled mixed state of a spin-1/2 baryon-antibaryon pair produced in the process e+e- to J/psi, psi(2S) to BBbar. We demonstrate that the spin entanglement of the system can increase following the decays B to b + M and…
We present the experimental realization of a theoretical effect discovered by Olivares and Paris, in which a pair of entangled optical beams undergoing independent losses can see nonlocal correlations restored by the use of a nonlocal…
Correlations among hadrons with the same electric charge produced in Z$^0$ decays are studied using the high statistics data collected from 1991 through 1995 with the OPAL detector at LEP. Normalized factorial cumulants up to fourth order…
The mixing of $K^0-\bar{K^0}$, $D^0-\bar{D^0}$ and $B_{(s)}^0-\bar{B^0_{(s)}}$ provides a sensitive probe to explore new physics beyond the Standard Model. The scale invariant unparticle physics recently proposed by Georgi can induce…
We present preliminary results of a search for the decay B^0 --> a_0^+(980)pi^- among 22.7 million Upsilon(4S)-->B-anti-B pairs collected by the BABAR detector at PEP-II. Using improved background suppression techniques and optimal signal…
We report a measurement of the branching fractions of Bbar -> D** l^- nubar_l decays based on 417 fb-1 of data collected at the Upsilon(4S) resonance with the BaBar detector at the PEP-II e+e- storage rings. Events are selected by fully…
We present branching fraction and CP asymmetry results for a variety of charmless B decays based on up to 124 fb^-1 collected by the BABAR experiment running near the Upsilon(4S) resonance at the PEP-II e+e- B-factory.
The subject of particle-antiparticle mixing in the neutral B meson systems is reviewed. The formalism of B0-B0bar mixing is recalled and basic Standard Model predictions are given, before experimental issues are discussed and the latest…
