The lepton number violation (LNV) process can be induced by introducing a fourth generation heavy Majorana neutrino, which is coupled to the charged leptons of the Standard Model (SM). There have been many previous studies on the leptonic number violating decay processes with this mechanism. We follow the trend to study the process: D→Kllπ with the same-sign dilepton final states. We restrict ourselves to certain neutrino mass regions, in which the heavy neutrino could be on-shell and the dominant contribution to the branching fraction comes from the resonance enhanced effect. Applying the narrow width approximation (NWA), we found that the upper limit for the branching fractions for D^0 → K^- 1+1+π- are generally at the order of 10-12 to 10-9, if we take the most stringent upper limit bound currently available in the literature for the mixing matrix elements. We also provide the constraints, which is competitive compared to the LNV B decays, on the mixing matrix element |VeN |^2 based on the upper limit of D^0→K^-e+e+π- estimated from the Monte-Carlo (MC) study at BESⅢ. Although the constraints are worse than the ones from (0vββ) decay in the literature, the future experiment at the charm factory may yield more stringent constraints.
Based on the nonrelativistic QCD factorization approach, O(αsv2) corrections to J/ψ plus ηc production in e+e- annihilation at √s= 10.6 GeV are calculated in this work. The numerical results show that the correction at αsv2 order is only about a few percent of the total theoretical result. This indicates that the perturbative expansions become convergent and that a higher order correction will be smaller. The uncertainties from the long-distance matrix elements, renormalization scale and the measurement in the experiment are also discussed. Our result is in agreement with the previous result by Jia.
DJpsiFDC is an event generator package for the process gg → J/ψJ/ψ. It generates events for primary leading-order 2 → 2 processes. The package could generate a Les Houches Event (LHE) document and this could easily be embedded into detector simulation software frameworks. The package is produced in Fortran code.
We study the J/ψ pair production issue at the Fermilab Tevatron Run II with a center-of-mass energy of s^(1/2)=1.96TeV. Both the color-singlet and color-octet production mechanisms are considered. Our results show that the transverse momentum (pT) scaling behaviors of the double J/ψ differential cross-sections in the color-singlets and color-octets deviate distinctively from each other while pT is larger than 8GeV, and with a luminosity of 5fb^-1 , the J/ψ pair events from the color-singlet scheme are substantially measurable in the Tevatron experiments, even with a certain lower transverse momentum cut. Hence the Tevatron is still a possible platform to check the heavy quarkonium production mechanism.
We present in the work two intriguing results in the entanglement classification of a pure and true tripartite entangled state of 2 × M × N under stochastic local operation and classical communication: (i) the internal symmetric properties of the nonlocal parameters in the continuous entangled class; (ii) the analytic expression for the total numbers of the true and pure entangled class 2 × M × N states. These properties help better understand the nature of the 2 × M × N entangled system.
It was found that the vector meson pair from the pseudoscalar decays can form an entangled state.In this work we give out detailed explanations on the polarization correlation of the two entangled vector mesons.It is demonstrated that an experimental test of the Clauser-Horne inequality can be carried out through measuring the azimuthal distribution of four pseudoscalars in the cascade decay ηc→ VV →(PP)(PP),and the measurement of this process is feasible with the current running experiments in tau-charm factory.Moreover,a brief discussion on the polarization correlation of the two vector mesons from B → VV decays is also presented.
