Decaimentos de mésons Ø e J/Ψ no Modelo C3P0

Quadros, Joseima Neves de January 2012 (has links)
O modelo C3 /30 foi desenvolvido através do Formalismo de Fock-Tani, o qual trata de problemas envolvendo partículas compostas e seus constituintes. Os operadores de criação e destruição de partículas compostas não obedecem relações de (anti)comutação canônicas devido à presença da estrutura interna. Após realizar a transformação unitária de Fock-Tani U sobre estes operadores, novos operadores ideais são obtidos de forma iterativa. Os operadores ideais contêm uma expansão em potências da função de onda e obedecem as relações de (anti)comutação canônicas. Com eles tornase possível construir quantidades efetivas em termos das quantidades fundamentais. Uma destas quantidades efetivas importantes que podem ser construídas é o Hamiltoniano He f etivo = U'HU que passa a conter a informação sobre a estrutura interna. Hef etivo possui, entre outras estruturas, diagramas correspondendo a espalhamentos hadrônicos com troca de constituintes, decaimentos hadrônicos, etc. A partir do Hamiltoniano de decaimento mesônico modificado pela transformação de Fock-Tani é que obtem-se o Hamiltoniano do modelo C3Po, Hc3Po. Com ele é possível encontrar amplitudes de decaimento e posteriormente taxas de decaimento. Nesta tese de doutorado, consideramos quarkônios estranhos com misturas do tipo el [ume + dcl] + c2 ss. Calculamos as taxas de decaimento para os mésons 0(1020), 0(1680), 0 3 ( 1 8 5 O ) e para os ainda não observados experimentalmente 0(2050), 01 (1850) e 02 (1850), no contexto do modelo C3P0, e determinamos os coeficientes cl e c2. Um outro estudo que realizamos foi com os mésons J/0, onde consideramos que eles são formados pela mistura e,' [u-ü + + c2 ss + c3 cc. Considerar J/ dado por misturas é proveniente de estudos que tentam solucionar o "enigma p7r". Novamente, com o auxílio do modelo C3P0, encontrarmos as taxas de decaimento. / The C3P0 model was developed using the Fock-Tani formalism, which deals with problems involving composite particles and their constituents. The creation and annihilation operators of composite particles do not obey canonical (anti) commutation relations, due to the presence of the internal structure. After performing the Fock-Tani unitary transformation U of these operators, new ideais operators are obtained iteratively. These perators contam an expansion in powers of the wave function and obey the canonical (anti) commutation relations. It is possible to construct effective quantaties in accordance with the fundamental ones. One of these important effective quantities that can be built is the Hamiltonian He f fective = U-1 HU that will contam the information about the internal structure. Heffective has, among other structures, diagrams corresponding to exchange scattering with hadronic constituents, hadronic decays, etc.. From the meson decay Hamiltonian, modified by the Fock-Tani transformation, we obtain the Hamiltonian the C3/30 model, HC3PO. With HC3PO one can find decay amplitudes and subsequently decay rates. In this thesis, we consider strange quarkonia mixtures of type c1 [uü + + c2 ss. We calculate the decay rates for the mesons 0(1020), 0(1680), 03(1850) and 0(2050), 01(1850) and 02 (1850), the not yet observed experimentally, in the context of C3P0 model, and determine the coefficients c1 and c2 . Another study was conducted with J/b mesons, where we consider that they are formed by mixing cl [u-ü + + c2 ss + c3 cc. To consider J/0 given by mixtures comes from studies that attempt to solve the "p7r puzzle". Again, with the aid of C3P0 model, we find the decay rates.

Analysis of radiative decays of charged B mesons to baryonic final states

Strube, Jan, 1978- 09 1900 (has links)
xxvi, 199 p. : ill. (some col.) A print copy of this thesis is available through the UO Libraries. Search the library catalog for the location and call number. / The abundance of B mesons at B factories opens the door to the search in rare decays for physics outside of the Standard Model. Flavor-changing neutral current transitions proceed only via higher order in the Standard Model, resulting in a b [arrow right] s³y branching fraction of about 3 x 10 -4 , but hypothesized particles could alter the rate significantly. Decays of B mesons that proceed via this electroweak penguin diagram are an interesting example of flavor-changing neutral currents, due to the large number of accessible final states with observables that are sensitive to new processes. This dissertation describes the analyses of such decays B - [arrow right] p ³, B - [arrow right] £ 0 p ³, B - [arrow right] p and B - [arrow right] p using about 350 million B meson pairs recorded by the BABAR detector in the years 2001 through 2006. In addition to the decay rate, the distribution of the invariant mass of the baryon pair is presented, using a method for statistical unfolding. The analysis is the first of these decays at the BABAR experiment and lays the groundwork for future analyses of the branching fractions and angular correlations of b [arrow right] s decays containing A hyperons and other baryons at BABAR or higher luminosity B factories. / Adviser: James E.

Decaimentos de mésons D e DSJ no modelo C3P0

Silva, Daniel Tavares da January 2011 (has links)
A representação de Fock-Tani é um formalismo de teoria de campos apropriado para o tratamento simultâneo de partículas compostas e seus constituintes. O modelo 3P0 é um típico modelo de decaimento que considera somente decaimentos fortes do tipo OZI-permitidos. O modelo considera um par quark-antiquark criado com os números quânticos do vácuo na presença do méson do estado inicial. Ele é descrito pelo limite não relativístico do Hamiltoniano de criação de par. Aplicando a transformação de Fock-Tani ao Hamiltoniano microscópico de criação de par produz-se a expansão caraterística em potências da função de onda, onde o modelo 3P0 ´e a ordem mais baixa desta expansão. O modelo 3P0 corrigido (C3P0) é obtido em mais altas ordens nesta expansão, pela introdução do kernel de estado ligado ¢, chamado de correção de estado ligado. O objetivo deste trabalho é estudar em detalhe o setor de mésons charmosos (mésons D) e o setor de mésons charmosos-estranhos (mésons DSJ ) usando o modelo C3P0, onde o modelo C3P0 é expandido com a inclusão da segunda ordem da correção de estado ligado pelo método diagramático. Em particular, obtemos as amplitudes e taxas de decaimento dos seguintes canais: Setor charmoso e Setor charmoso-estranho. / The Fock-Tani representation is a field theory formalism appropriated for the simultaneous treatment of composite particles and their constituents. The 3P0 model is a typical decay model which considers only OZI-allowed strong decays. The model considers a quark-antiquark pair created with the vacuum quantum numbers in the presence of the initial state meson. It is described as the non-relativistic limit of the pair creation Hamiltonian. Applying the Fock-Tani transformation to the microscopic Hamiltonian of the pair creation produces the characteristic expansion in powers of the wave function, where the 3P0 model is the lowest order in the expansion. The corrected 3P0 model (C3P0) is obtained from higher orders in the expansion, by the introduction of the bound state kernel ¢, called the bound state correction. The goal of this work is to study in detail the charmed meson sector (D meson) and the strange charmed meson sector (DSJ meson) using the C3P0 model, where the C3P0 model is expanded by the inclusion of the second order of the bound state correction for the diagramatic method. In particular, we shall calculate the decay amplitudes and decay rates of the following channels: Charmed sector and Strange charmed sector.

Hadronic Decays of the ω Meson

Heijkenskjöld, Lena January 2016 (has links)
Two decay channels of the ω(782) meson, into π+π-π0 and π+π-, are studied. The dynamics of the three-pion channel is represented using a two-dimensional distribution, called a Dalitz plot. A high-statistics Dalitz plot distribution is needed to test theoretical predictions and increase understanding of the decay mechanism. The isospin-breaking two-pion decay gives insight into the ρ-ω mixing. The ω→π+π- decay has previously been studied in π+π- spectra in high statistics e+e- experiments and with lower statistics in hadroproduction experiments. The collected evidence indicates that the resulting interference pattern strongly depends on the production reaction. In 2011 an experiment to investigate ω hadronic decays in pd→3Heω reaction was performed with the WASA detector. Two studies based on the collected data are included in this thesis. In the first, the dominant decay channel ω→π+π-π0 is selected and two experimental Dalitz plot distributions are created. Each distribution corresponds to one of the two incident beam energies used in the experiment. A fit to the Dalitz plots is performed using a parametrisation including the expected P-wave shape. The result indicates an onset of the intermediate ρ in the two-pion channel, as predicted by theoretical models. The efficiency corrected Dalitz plot bin contents are reported to facilitate comparison to theoretical predictions by direct fits to the experimental data. In the second study, the ω→π+π- decay channel is selected. For events with a 3Heπ+π- final state, the 3He missing mass is constructed in search for the ρ-ω interference pattern in pd production. No significant deviations around the ω mass position was found. Dedicated studies using experimental data to estimate background contribution and to extract signal acceptance shows that the background is too large to observe the expected signal with the collected data sample. The last part of the thesis presents pre-studies for using data collected at the KLOE detector for an ω→π+π-π0 Dalitz plot analysis. Since the ω mesons are produced in the e+e-→ωπ0 reaction, the study focuses on the impact of the π0-π0 interference.

Measurement of the CP violating phase βs in B⁰_s → J/ψφ decays

Oakes, Louise January 2010 (has links)
The CP violating phase β<sup>J/ψφ</sup><sub>s</sub> is measured in decays of B<sup>0</sup><sub>s</sub> → J/ψφ. This measurement uses 5.2 fb<sup>-1</sup> of data collected in √s = 1.96 TeV p‾p collisions at the Fermilab Tevatron with the CDF Run-II detector. CP violation in the B<sup>0</sup><sub>s</sub>-‾B<sup>0</sup><sub>s</sub>bar system is predicted to be very small in the Standard Model. However, several theories beyond the Standard Model allow enhancements to this quantity by heavier, New Physics particles entering second order weak mixing box diagrams. Previous measurements have hinted at a deviation from the Standard Model expectation value for β<sup>J/ψφ</sup><sub>s</sub> with a significance of approximately 2σ. The measurement described in this thesis uses the highest statistics sample available to date in the B<sup>0</sup><sub>s</sub> → J/ψφ decay channel, where J/ψ → μ<sup>+</sup> μ<sup>-</sup> and φ → K<sup>+</sup>K<sup>-</sup>. Furthermore, it contains several improvements over previous analyses, such as enhanced signal selection, fully calibrated particle ID and flavour tagging, and the inclusion of an additional decay component in the likelihood function. The added decay component considers S-wave states of KK pairs in the B<sup>0</sup><sub>s</sub> → J/ψK<sup>+</sup>K<sup>-</sup> channel. The results are presented as 2-dimensional frequentist confidence regions for β<sup>J/ψφ</sup><sub >s</sub> and ΔΓ (the width difference between the B<sup>0</sup><sub>s</sub> mass eigenstates), and as a confidence interval for β<sup>J/ψφ</sup><sub>s</sub> of [0.02,0.52] U [1.08, 1.55] at the 68% confidence level. The measurement of the CP violating phase obtained in this thesis is complemented by the world's most precise measurement of the lifetime τ<sub>s</sub> = 1.53 ± 0.025 (stat.) ± 0.012 (syst.) ps and decay width difference ΔΓ = 0.075 ± 0 .035 (stat.) ± 0.01 (syst.) ps<sup>−1</sup> of the B<sup>0</sup><sub>s</sub> meson, with the assumption of no CP violation.

Investigando a produção de mésons vetoriais e fótons diretos em colisões envolvendo íons pesados no Large Hadron Collider / Investigating the vector meson and direct photon production in collisions involving heavy ions at the Large Hadron Collider

Santos, Glauber Sampaio dos January 2016 (has links)
A produção exclusiva de mésons vetoriais bem como a produção direta de fótons têm sido estudadas recentemente em ambos aspectos, experimental e teoricamente. Neste trabalho, investigamos a fotoprodução exclusiva de mésons vetoriais e os processos de radiação de fótons reais em colisões próton-próton (pp), próton-núcleo (pA) e núcleo-núcleo (AA) nas energias do Large Hadron Collider (LHC), considerando a abordagem de dipolos de cor. As massas dos mésons pesados fornecem uma escala perturbativa para o problema, permitindo testar a Cromodinâmica Quântica (QCD) perturbativa. Por outro lado, os mésons leves não têm uma escala perturbativa associada ao processo e, portanto, possibilitam testar o regime não perturbativo da QCD. A transição entre o tratamento duro perturbativo e o regime suave pode ser abordada através dos modelos de saturação partônica dentro do formalismo de dipolos de cor. Além disso, tratamos da produção de fótons diretos, onde estimamos a correspondente seção de choque em colisões pp e pA no LHC. Os fótons diretos são uma importante prova da dinâmica da QCD, sondando a região de pequenas distâncias e, consequentemente, oferecendo acesso a estrutura hadrônica do próton. Para ambas reações tratadas nesta tese, o objetivo central é analisar as incertezas teóricas referentes aos respectivos modelos físicos na descrição dos observáveis em colisões hadrônicas no regime de altas energias. / The exclusive production of vector mesons as well the prompt photon production have been studied recently, both experimentally and theoretically. In this work, we investigated the exclusive photoproduction of vector mesons and the real photon radiation processes in proton-proton (pp), proton-nucleus (pA) and nucleus-nucleus (AA) collisions at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) energies, considering the color dipole approach. The masses of heavy mesons provide a perturbative scale for the problem allowing to test the perturbative Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD). On the other hand, the light mesons do not have a perturbative scale associated to the process, so they allow to test the non-perturbative regime of QCD. The transition between the hard perturbative and the soft regimes can be addressed by the parton saturation models within the color dipole formalism. In addition, we investigated the direct photon production, where we estimate the corresponding cross section in pp and pA collisions at the LHC. The prompt photon are an important probe of QCD dynamics, scanning the small distances region and, consequently, providing access to the hadronic structure of the proton. For both reactions treated in this thesis, the main objective is to analyze the theoretical uncertainties related to the phenomenological models in the description of observables in hadronics collisions at high energy regime.
