Patterns and collective behavior in granular media: Theoretical concepts

IS Aranson, LS Tsimring - Reviews of modern physics, 2006 - APS
Granular materials are ubiquitous in our daily lives. While they have been the subject of
intensive engineering research for centuries, in the last two decades granular matter has …

The Belle experiment, running at the KEKB e+ e− asymmetric energy collider during the first
decade of the century, achieved its original objective of precisely measuring differences …

Branching fractions, polarisation and asymmetries of B→ VV decays

M Beneke, J Rohrer, D Yang - Nuclear Physics B, 2007 - Elsevier
We calculate the hard-scattering kernels relevant to the negative-helicity decay amplitude in
B decays to two vector mesons in the framework of QCD factorisation. We then perform a …

The two-body hadronic decays of B c meson in the perturbative QCD approach: a short review

ZJ Xiao, X Liu - Chinese science bulletin, 2014 - Springer
Along with the running of Large Hadron Collider (LHC) located at CERN in November 2009,
a large number of data samples of B_c B c meson have been collected and some hadronic …

Revisiting charmless hadronic decays in QCD factorization

HY Cheng, CK Chua - Physical Review D—Particles, Fields, Gravitation, and …, 2009 - APS
Within the framework of QCD factorization, we consider two different types of power
correction effects in order to resolve the CP puzzles and rate deficit problems with penguin …

Cosmology of mass-varying neutrinos driven by quintessence: theory and observations

AW Brookfield, C Van de Bruck, DF Mota… - Physical Review D …, 2006 - APS
The effects of mass-varying neutrinos on cosmic microwave background (CMB) anisotropies
and large scale structures (LSS) are studied. In these models, dark energy and neutrinos are …

Two-body charmed decays B (s)→ D (s) P, D (s)* P, D (s) V, and D (s)* V, where P and V
denote the light pseudoscalar meson and vector meson, respectively, are analyzed in the …

S-wave ground state charmonium decays of mesons in the perturbative QCD approach

Z Rui, ZT Zou - Physical Review D, 2014 - APS
We make a systematic investigation on the two-body nonleptonic decays B c→ J/Ψ (η c), M
by employing the perturbative QCD approach based on k T factorization, where M is a light …

Improved estimates of the decays in perturbative QCD approach

ZT Zou, A Ali, CD Lü, X Liu, Y Li - Physical Review D, 2015 - APS
We reexamine the branching fractions, CP asymmetries, and other observables in a large
number of B q→ VV (q= u, d, s) decays in the perturbative QCD approach, where V denotes …

Penguin pollution in decays and impact on the extraction of the mixing phase

X Liu, W Wang, Y Xie - Physical Review D, 2014 - APS
We formulate the most general time-dependent distributions of B s→ J/ψ (→ l+ l-) ϕ (→ K+ K-
) in which the direct charge parity (CP) violation is explicitly incorporated. We investigate the …
