The Beijing Spectrometer(BESIII)collaboration has reported the world’s first observation of the decay D+→τ+ν,which is the second type of pure leptonic decay of the D+meson,in a newly published Physical Review Letters paper.The paper has been highlighted by the journal as an"Editors’Suggestion."

Leptonic di-flavor and di-number violation processes at high energyμ^(±)μ^(±)colliders

The leptonic di-flavor violation (LFV) processes μ^(±)μ^(±)→e^(±)e^(±) and μ^(±)μ^(±)→τ^(±)τ^(±) and leptonic di-number violation (LNV) processes μ^(±)μ^(±)→W_(i)^(±)W_(j)^(±) (i,j=1,2) at same-sign high energy μ^(±)μ^(±) colliders are studied. The new physics (NP) factors that may play roles in these processes are highlighted by cataloging them into three types. Taking into account the experimental constraints, the processes at μ^(±)μ^(±) colliders are computed, and the results are presented properly. The results lead to the conclusion that observing the NP factors through the LFV and LNV processes at TeV-energy μ^(±)μ^(±) colliders has significant advantages that cannot be achieved elsewhere. Therefore, once the techniques for muon acceleration and collision are developed successfully, the option of building same-sign high energy muon colliders should be seriously considered.

The Substructure of Elementary Particles Demonstrated by the I-Theory

Present studies in physics assume that elementary particles are the building blocks of all matter, and that they are zero-dimensional objects which do not occupy space. The new I-Theory predicts that elementary particles do indeed have a substructure, three dimensions, and occupy space, being composed of fundamental particles called I-particles. In this article we identify the substructural pattern of elementary particles and define the quanta of energy that form each elementary particle. We demonstrate that the substructure comprises two classes of quanta which we call “attraction quanta” and “repulsion quanta”. We create a model that defines the rest-mass energy of each elementary particle and can predict new particles. Lastly, in order to incorporate this knowledge into the contemporary models of science, a revised periodic table is proposed.

Study of pure and semileptonic decays of D_s meson within R-parity violating supersymmetric model

We present the comaprative study of semileptonic and leptonic decays of Ds, D±and D0meson（D →M l＋-αl-β, D → l＋αlβ, D → l＋αvα;α,β=e,μ） within the framework of R-parity violating the（ Rp） Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model（MSSM）. The comparison shows that combination and product couplings,（λβiα λ＊ ij qor λβqkλ＊αj k）contribution to the branching fractions of the said processes（under consideration） is consistent with or comparable to the experimental measurements in most of the cases. However, some cases exist where these contributions are highly suppressed. We identify such cases in our analysis and single out the important ones suitable for exploring in the future and current experiments.

Factorization of radiative leptonic D-meson decay with sub-leading power corrections

In this work,we calculate the sub-leading power contributions to radiative leptonic D→γνdecay.For the first time,we provide the analytic expressions of next-to-leading power contributions and the error estimation associated with the power expansion of O(∧_(QCD)/m_(c)).In our calculation,we adopt two different models of the D-meson distribution amplitudesφ^(+)_(D,Ⅰ)andφ^(+)_(DⅡ).Within the framework of QCD factorization as well as the dispersion relation,we evaluate the soft contribution up to the next-to-leading logarithmic accuracy and also consider the higher-twist contribution from the two-particle and three-particle distribution amplitudes.Finally,we find that all the sub-leading power contributions are significant atλd(μ0)354 MeV,and the next-to-leading power contributions lead to 143%inφ^(+)_(D,Ⅰ)and 120%inφ^(+)_(DⅡ)corrections to leading power vector form factors with Eγ=0.5 GeV.As the corrections from the higher-twist and local sub-leading power contributions are enhanced with increasing inverse moment,it is difficult to extract an appropriate inverse moment of the D-meson distribution amplitude.The predicted branching fractions are(1.88^(+0.36)_(0.29))×10^(-5)forφ^(+)_(D,Ⅰ)and(2.31^(+0.65)_(-0.54))×10^(-5)forφ^(+)_(DⅡ).

Light meson spectrum and their leptonic decay widths in the frame work of constituent quark models

The phenomenological non-relativistic quark model has been employed to obtain the ground state masses of light vector mesons and their radially excited states and their decay widths.The full hamiltonian used in the investigation has kinetic energy,the confinement potential and the one-gluon-exchange potential.A good agreement is obtained with the experimental masses and their leptonic decay widths.

Leptonic Decays of Heavy Vector and Pseudoscalar Mesons

Pure leptonic decays of D~*0)(B_^(*s),B_d~*)→l^+l^- and D^(±*)(D_s~*,B^(*+),B_c~*)→lν_l are investigated.The hadronic contributions such as D^0→D^(*0)γ→μ^+μ^- are also explored.We then obtain the updated branching fractions of the pseudoscalar mesons to lepton pairs are modified by a factor of few percentages.Specifically,the Br(B+→e^+ν_e)is reduced by a factor 13%.

Broken S_(3L)×S_(3R) flavor symmetry and leptonic CP violation

In the framework of the canonical seesaw model,we present a simple but viable scenario to explicitly break an S3L×S3R flavor symmetry in the leptonic sector.It turns out that the leptonic flavor mixing matrix is completely determined by the mass ratios of the charged leptons（i.e.,me/mμand mμ/mτ） and those of light neutrinos（i.e.,m1/m2 and m2/m3）.The latest global-fit results of the three neutrino mixing angles {θ12,θ13,θ23}and two neutrino mass-squared differences {？m212,？m312} at the 3σ level are used to constrain the parameter space of {m1/m2,m2/m3}.The predictions for the mass spectrum and flavor mixing are highlighted：（1） the neutrino mass spectrum shows a hierarchical pattern and a normal ordering,e.g.,m1≈2.2meV,m2≈8.8 meV and m3≈52.7 meV;（2） only the first octant of θ23 is allowed,namely,41.8？ θ23 43.3？;（3） the Dirac C P-violating phase δ ≈-22？deviates significantly from the maximal value-90？.All these predictions are ready to be tested in ongoing and forthcoming neutrino oscillation experiments.Moreover,we demonstrate that the cosmological matter-antimatter asymmetry can be explained via resonant leptogenesis,including the individual lepton-flavor effects.In our scenario,leptonic C P violation at low-and high-energy scales is closely connected.

Exotic vector charmonium and its leptonic decay width

We propose a novel type of interpolating field operator, which manifests the hybrid-like configuration that the charm quark-antiquark pair recoils against gluonie degrees of freedom. A heavy vector charmonium-like state with a mass of 4.33（2） GeV is disentangled from the conventional charmonium states in the quenched approximation. This state has affinity for the hybrid-like operators but couples less to the relevant quark bilinear operator. We also try to extract its leptonic decay constant and give a tentative upper limit that it is less than one tenth of that of J/ψ, which corresponds to a leptonic decay width about dozens of eV. The connection of this state with X（4260） is also discussed.

Revisiting the heavy vector quarkonium leptonic widths

We revisit the heavy quarkonium leptonic decays ψ(nS)→■^+■^- and Υ(nS)→■^+■^- using the Bethe-Salpeter method.The emphasis is on the relativistic corrections.For the ψ(1S-5S)decays,the relativistic effects are 22-2^+3%,34-2^+5%,41-6^+6%,52-13^+11% and 62-12^+14%,respectively.For the Υ(1S-5S) decays,the relativistic effects are 14-2^+1%,23-3^+0%,20-2^+8%,21-7^+6% and 28-7^+2%,respectively.Thus,the relativistic corrections are large and important in heavy quarkonium leptonic decays,especially for the highly excited charmonium.Our results forΥ(nS)→■^+■^- are consistent with the experimental data.

Bound State Description of Particles from a Quantum Field Theory of Fermions and Bosons, Compatible with Relativity

Both, the dilemma to find a quantum field theory consistent with Einstein’s law of relativity and the problem to describe existing particles as bound states of matter has been solved by calculating bound state matrix elements from a dual fermion-boson Lagrangian. In this formalism, the fermion binding energies are compensated by boson energies, indicating that particles can be generated out of the vacuum. This yields quantitative solutions for various mesons ω (0.78 GeV) - Υ (9.46 GeV) and all leptons e, μ and τ, with uncertainties in the extracted properties of less than 1‰. For transparency, a Web-page with the address htpps://h2909473.stratoserver.net has been constructed, where all calculations can be run on line and also the underlying fortran source code can be inspected.

Anomalies in(semi)-leptonic B decays B~±→τ~±ν,B~±→Dτ~±ν and B~±→D~*τ~±ν,and possible resolution with sterile neutrino

The universality of the weak interactions can be tested in semileptonic b→c transitions,and in particular in the ratios R（D＊） ≡ Γ（B → D（＊）τν）/Γ（B → D＊lν）（where 1 = μ or e）.Due to the recent differences between the experimental measurements of these observables by Ba Bar,Belle and LHCb on the one hand and the Standard Model predicted values on the other hand,we study the predicted ratios R（D＊）=Γ（B→D＊τ＋＂missing＂）/Γ（B→D（＊）lν）in scenarios with an additional sterile heavy neutrino of mass ～1 Ge V.Further,we evaluate the newly defined ratio R（0）≡Γ（B→τ＋＂missing＂）/Γ（B→μν） in such scenarios,in view of the future possibilities of measuring the quantity at Belle-Ⅱ.

Implications of the Daya Bay observation of θ_(13) on the leptonic flavor mixing structure and CP violation

The Daya Bay collaboration has recently reported its first νe → νe oscillation result which points to θ13 8.8 ± 0.8 （best-fit ±1σ range） or θ13 = 0 at the 5.2σ level. The fact that this smallest neutrino mixing angle is not strongly suppressed motivates us to look into the underlying structure of lepton flavor mixing and CP violation. Two phenomenological strategies are outlined： （1） the lepton flavor mixing matrix U consists of a constant leading term U0 and a small perturbation term U ; and （2） the mixing angles of U are associated with the lepton mass ratios. Some typical patterns of U0 are reexamined by constraining their respective perturbations with current experimental data. We illustrate a few possible ways to minimally correct U0 in order to fit the observed values of three mixing angles. We point out that the structure of U may exhibit an approximate μ-τ permutation symmetry in modulus, and reiterate the geometrical description of CP violation in terms of the leptonic unitarity triangles. The salient features of nine distinct parametrizations of U are summarized, and its Wolfenstein-like expansion is presented by taking U0 to be the democratic mixing pattern.

Measurement of J/ψ leptonic width with the KEDR detector

We report a new precise determination of the leptonic widths of the J/psi meson performed with the KEDR detector at the VEPP-4M e^＋e^- collider. The measured values of the J/psi parameters are： Гee×Гee/P = 0.3323±0.0064 （stat.）±0.0048 （syst.） keV,Гee×Гμμ/Г = 0.3318±0.0052 （stat.） ±0.0063 （syst.） keY. Assuming eμ universality and using the table value of the branching ratios the leptonic Г11 = 5.59 ± 0.12 keV width and the total Г = 94.1±2.7 keV widths were obtained. We also discuss in detail a method to calculate radiative corrections at a narrow resonance.

A Scenario for Asymmetric Genesis of Matter

A previous preon scenario for the standard model particles, based on unbroken supersymmetry, is applied to the problem of matter-antimatter asymmetry. Attention is paid to the fact that the asymmetric hydrogen atom—like all atoms—can be described in terms of symmetric preons. Preons are created in the early universe. The matter-antimatter asymmetry is caused by stochastic correlations in charge density fluctuations of preons and antipreons and by the subsequent preon combinatorial mechanism to form quarks and leptons, and finally the three lightest elements. A tentative gravitino mass estimate is given based on minimal interference with nucleosynthesis. With local supersymmetry the scenario can be extended to supergravity.

Lepton-Flavor Violating Processes li → ljγ in Topcolor-Assisted Technicolor Models

We consider the lepton-flavor violating (LFV) processes li → ljγ in the framework of topcolor-assistedtechnicolor (TC2) models. We find that the new gauge boson Z' predicted by TC2 models can give significantlycontributions to these processes via the flavor-changing couplings Z'lilj. The present experimental bound on the LFVprocess μ→ eγ gives severe constraints on the TC2 models. Using other experimental constraints on the Z' mass Mz,we obtain constraints on the lepton mixing factors KTμ and KTe. The future LFV experiments will probe into TC2models.

The Harmonic Neutron Hypothesis: Prime Number Factor Patterns and Their Relationship to the Hierarchy of the Fundamental Particles and Bosons

The Harmonic Neutron Hypothesis, HNH, has demonstrated that many of the fundamental physical constants including particles and bosons are associated with specific quantum integers, n. These integers define partial harmonic fractional exponents, 1 ± (1/n), of a fundamental frequency, Vf. The goal is to evaluate the prime and composite factors associated with the neutron n0, the quarks, the kinetic energy of neutron beta decay, the Rydberg constant, R, e, a0, H0, h, α, W, Z, the muon, and the neutron gluon. Their pure number characteristics correspond and explain the hierarchy of the particles and bosons. The elements and black body radiation represent consecutive integer series. The relative scale of the constants cluster in a partial harmonic fraction pattern around the neutron. The global numerical organization is related to the only possible prime factor partial fractions of 2/3, or 3/2, as pairs of 3 physical entities with a total of 6 in each group. Many other progressively resonant prime number factor patterns are identified with increasing numbers of smaller factors, higher primes, or larger partial fractions associated with higher order particles or bosons.

Determining the Neutrino Mass Eigenstates and the Effective Majorana Mass

This paper aims at solving several open questions in current neutrino physics: the neutrino mass hierarchy, the Dirac CP violating phase, the absolute mass of neutrinos, the nature of neutrinos (Dirac or Majorana), the Majorana matrix and the absolute value of the effective Majorana neutrino mass. In the research presented in this paper, we have shown that the precise definition of the mass splittings between neutrino mass eigenstates, done in the latest analysis of experimental data, can be of crucial importance for defining the nature of neutrino mass hierarchy. The Standard Model has three generations of fundamental matter particles. Three generations of the charged lepton mass show a hierarchical structure: mτ > mμ > me. Owing to that, there is a belief and it is considered that neutrinos may follow such hierarchical structure. In our calculations, we have also included the latest data obtained, based on the processing of measurement results, which showed that even with such data, obtained results favor the normal neutrino mass hierarchy. As for the individual neutrino mass calculated in this paper, in today’s neutrino physics it is only known that neutrino mass scale is bounded only from above, and both the Dirac and the Majorana character of neutrinos are compatible with all observations. Among some of the questions resolved in this paper, which are related to the properties of neutrinos, a positive answer was also given to the question of whether light neutrinos are self-conjugate particles or not.

The Accurate Mass Formulas of Leptons, Quarks, Gauge Bosons, the Higgs Boson, and Cosmic Rays

One of the biggest unsolved problems in physics is the particle masses of all elementary particles which cannot be calculated accurately and predicted theoretically. In this paper, the unsolved problem of the particle masses is solved by the accurate mass formulas which calculate accurately and predict theoretically the particle masses of all leptons, quarks, gauge bosons, the Higgs boson, and cosmic rays (the knees-ankles-toe) by using only five known constants: the number (seven) of the extra spatial dimensions in the eleven-dimensional membrane, the mass of electron, the masses of Z and W bosons, and the fine structure constant. The calculated masses are in excellent agreements with the observed masses. For examples, the calculated masses of muon, top quark, pion, neutron, and the Higgs boson are 105.55 MeV, 175.4 GeV, 139.54 MeV, 939.43 MeV, and 126 GeV, respectively, in excellent agreements with the observed 105.65 MeV, 173.3 GeV, 139.57 MeV, 939.27 MeV, and 126 GeV, respectively. The mass formulas also calculate accurately the masses of the new particle at 750 GeV from the LHC and the new light boson at 17 MeV. The theoretical base of the accurate mass formulas is the periodic table of elementary particles. As the periodic table of elements is derived from atomic orbitals, the periodic table of elementary particles is derived from the seven principal mass dimensional orbitals and seven auxiliary mass dimensional orbitals. All elementary particles including leptons, quarks, gauge bosons, the Higgs boson, and cosmic rays can be placed in the periodic table of elementary particles. The periodic table of elementary particles is based on the theory of everything as the computer simulation model of physical reality consisting of the mathematical computation, digital representation and selective retention components. The computer simulation model of physical reality provides the seven principal mass dimensional orbitals and seven auxiliary mass dimensional orbitals for the periodic table of elementary particles.
