Puzzles in Hyperon, Charm and Beauty Physics

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2009-11-07 v1

Abstract

Puzzles awaiting better experiments and better theory include: (1) the contradiction between good and bad SU(3) baryon wave functions in fitting Cabibbo theory for hyperon decays, strangeness suppression in the sea and the violation of the Gottfried Sum rule - no model fits all; (2) Anomalously enhanced Cabibbo-suppressed D+K+(sdˉ)D^+ \to K^{*+}(s\bar d) decays; (3) anomalously enhanced and suppressed BηXB \to \eta' X decays; (4) the OZI rule in weak decays; (5) Vector dominance (Wπ,ρ,a1,Ds,DsW \to \pi, \rho, a_1, D_s, D^*_s ) in weak decays (6) Puzzles in doubly-cabibbo-suppressed charm decays.(7) Problems in obtaining Λ\Lambda spin structure from polarization measurements of produced Λ\Lambda's.
