Reparametrization invariance of B decay amplitudes and implications for new physics searches in B decays
Creators: name: Botella, F. J.

Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: When studying B decays within the Standard Model, it is customary to use the unitarity of the CKM matrix in order to write the decay amplitudes in terms of only two of the three weak phases which appear in the various diagrams. Occasionally, it is mentioned that those two weak phases can be used in order to describe any decay amplitude, even beyond the Standard Model. Here we point out that, when describing a generic decay amplitude, the two weak phases can be chosen completely at will, and we study the behavior of the decay amplitudes under changes in the two weak phases chosen as a basis. Of course, physical observables cannot depend on such reparametrizations. This has an impact in discussions of the SM and in attempts to parametrize new physics effects in the decay amplitudes. We illustrate these issues by looking at B --> psi K_S and the isospin analysis in B --> pi pi.

Year: 2005

description: We investigate a new method to probe the helicity of the photon emitted in the b -> s gamma transition. The method relies on the observation of interference effects between two resonance contributions, B -> K*(K gamma) gamma and B -> eta_c(gamma gamma) K or B -> chi_c0(gamma gamma) K to the same final state K gamma gamma. Decays of the type B -> K_res(K gamma) gamma dominate the B -> K gamma gamma yield throughout most of the phase space, and may be accessible at current B meson facilities already.

description: Kendal apprenticeship indenture records survive from 1571 to 1736 and are a rich source for local history. They help to overcome difficulties caused by gaps in parish registers, especially that for Kendal, from 1632 to 1678, and deserve more attention. This article traces evidence for three female apprentices and also six widows who, after their tradesman husband died, became masters and contributed to Kendal's commercial and social life. The Corporation often adapted, or ignored, the strict statutory rules of apprenticeship when it could benefit individuals. Genealogical sources are essential to prove this and establish personal background detail. After an introduction, each case-study will outline the indenture that first recorded the woman, and then probe background details and her contribution to the trade, so that each woman?s efforts, problems and character begin to emerge.

description: We investigate the observational viability of a class of $α$-attractors inflationary models in light of the most recent Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) and Large-Scale Structure (LSS) data. By considering a double-well potential we perform a slow-roll analysis to study the behavior of this class of models, which is a continuous interpolation between the chaotic inflation for large values of $α$ and the universal attractor, i.e., $n_s=1- 2/N$ and $r=α12/N^2$ for small $α$, where $n_s$ is the scalar spectral index, $r$ is the tensor-to-scalar ratio, and $N$ is the e-fold number. In order to explore the parameter space of the model, we also perform a MCMC analysis and find $α=7.56\pm 5.15$ ($1σ$).

Spectral Degeneracies in the Totally Asymmetric Exclusion Process

description: We study the spectrum of the Markov matrix of the totally asymmetric exclusion process (TASEP) on a one-dimensional periodic lattice at ARBITRARY filling. Although the system does not possess obvious symmetries except translation invariance, the spectrum presents many multiplets with degeneracies of high order. This behaviour is explained by a hidden symmetry property of the Bethe Ansatz. Combinatorial formulae for the orders of degeneracy and the corresponding number of multiplets are derived and compared with numerical results obtained from exact diagonalisation of small size systems. This unexpected structure of the TASEP spectrum suggests the existence of an underlying large invariance group. Keywords: ASEP, Markov matrix, Bethe Ansatz, Symmetries.

description: We show that Calogero-Sutherland models for interacting particles have a natural supersymmetric extension. For the construction, we use Jacobians which appear in certain superspaces. Some of the resulting Hamiltonians have a direct physics interpretation as models for two kinds of interacting particles. One model may serve to describe interacting electrons in a lower and upper band of a quasi-one-dimensional semiconductor, another model corresponds to two kinds of particles confined to two different spatial directions with an interaction involving tensor forces.

The two selected sites were Siswa Bangun and Restu Baru village. The results would by no means represent a national average. Hence, the description of farming, marketing and processing of those crops given here forms a source of in-depth quantitative and qualitative information that might have wider validity. Findings relate to maize and cassava commodity systems.
Internal Migration Across Italian regions: Macroeconomic Determinants and Accommodating Potential for a Dualistic Economy

description: We provide econometric evidence that relative per capita GDP and relative unemployment rates are the main determinants of migration flows across Italian regions from 1970 to 2002. The empirical analysis is based on an accurate study of the dynamic properties of the series. In fact, we deal with the issues of non-stationarity and cointegration and estimate an error correction model in which both the short- and long-run dynamics are modelled at once. The regional unemployment rate is robustly inversely related with net regional migration rate, while per capita GDP is strongly positively linked with it. As far as the accommodating potential of internal migration to regional unbalances, we have detected very little room for such a role. Indeed, the degree of labour mobility across Italian regions cannot be active as an effective equilibrating mechanism.

description: This paper describes the results of field and documentary archaeological investigations of 39 farming-related structures in the Duddon Valley, Cumbria, some of which have been identified as probable medieval longhouses. Of the five best-preserved structures, four are of the classic two-celled longhouse type, while one is single-celled and may represent a temporarily-occupied shieling. In four cases, several structures are arranged into small settlements. The surveys were conducted by trained volunteers from the Duddon Valley Local History Group under the guidance of professional archaeologists from the Lake District National Park and the National Trust, although this paper is the responsibility of the authors alone. The paper concludes with recommendations for protection of the sites, and for the excavation of some structures.

As an application, we establish an interesting link with the formation of networks.

description: The main question which this research originally sought to answer was whether or not inorganic fertilizers are generally profitable used alone on maize, or with pesticides on cotton, for small farmers in Zambia. Rather than give a definitive answer for each Zambian farmer, the authors developed a framework for analysis and applied that framework to locations with sufficient information. Using simple value/cost ratios, researchers estimated the potential profit of fertilizer for those sites. Then, using the distributions of response rates of the crops (incremental yields) found in the trials and output prices based on regional price series, the probabilities are estimated for VCRs, using a minimum of VCR of 2.0 for profitability. The results for selected locations and input applications are then presented, as examples and indicators of fertilizer profitability in Zambia.

description: Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada (AAFC) has an ongoing research program to provide information on the effect of potential agricultural policy and technology scenarios on the environment and the economic conditions, behavior and performance in the agriculture sector. Included in this work program is a project to improve our farm level data on cost of production and farm management practices for economic and environmental analysis. As part of this effort to improve our data, this report evaluates an analytical method, called Maximum Entropy (ME), for its effectiveness in extracting detailed, enterprise level, cost of production information from whole-farm data. The ME method has been shown to be a promising and cost-effective option for obtaining these enterprise-level estimates from whole-farm data sets already available.

description: Starting from a recently constructed stealth Kerr solution of higher order scalar tensor theory involving scalar hair, we analytically construct disformal versions of the Kerr spacetime with a constant degree of disformality and a regular scalar field. While the disformed metric has only a ring singularity and asymptotically is quite similar to Kerr, it is found to be neither Ricci flat nor circular. Non-circularity has far reaching consequences on the structure of the solution. As we approach the rotating compact object from asymptotic infinity we find a static limit ergosurface similar to the Kerr spacetime with an enclosed ergoregion. However, the stationary limit of infalling observers is found to be a timelike hypersurface. A candidate event horizon is found in the interior of this stationary limit surface. It is a null hypersurface generated by a null congruence of light rays which are no longer Killing vectors. Under a mild regularity assumption, we find that the candidate surface is indeed an event horizon and the disformed Kerr metric is therefore a black hole quite distinct from the Kerr solution.

description: The friendly societies were workers' voluntary associations that, for a small subscription, offered insurance benefits to members. These benefits were usually sick pay and death benefits towards funeral expenses. A distinctive feature of the societies was that they were self-help organizations, run by the working and lower middle classes. The origins of the friendly society movement are not easy to define, but it gained momentum from the late eighteenth century.1 By the end of the nineteenth, it had developed into the largest set of voluntary associations in Britain. At the time that this study begins, the movement had received a stimulus to growth through the Poor Law Amendment Act of 1834. This act replaced the earlier and milder 'outdoor poor relief' with a system intended as a punitive deterrent to pauperism. Friendly society members, through their sickness insurance, gained some protection against the disgrace and harsh conditions of the workhouse.

description: The great deal in noncommutative (NC) field theories started when it was noted that NC spaces naturally arise in string theory with a constant background magnetic field in the presence of $D$-branes. Besides their origin in string theories and branes, NC field theories have been studied extensively in many branches of physics. In this work we explore how NC geometry can be introduced into a commutative field theory besides the usual introduction of the Moyal product. We propose a systematic new way to introduce NC geometry into commutative systems, based mainly on the symplectic approach. Further, as example, this formalism describes precisely how to obtain a Lagrangian description for the NC version of some systems reproducing well known theories.

description: Liverani-Saussol-Vaienti (L-S-V) maps form a family of piecewise differentiable dynamical systems on $[0,1]$ depending on one parameter $ω\in\mathbb R^+$. These maps are everywhere expanding apart from a neutral fixed point. It is well known that depending on the amount of expansion close to the neutral point, they have either an absolutely continuous invariant probability measure and polynomial decay of correlations ($ω<1$), or a unique physical measure that is singular and concentrated at the neutral point ($ω>1$). In this paper, we study the composition of L-S-V maps whose parameters are randomly sampled from a range in $\mathbb R^+$, and where these two contrasting behaviours are mixed. We show that if the parameters $ω<1$ are sampled with positive probability, then the stationary measure of the random system is absolutely continuous; the annealed decay rate of correlations is close (or in some cases equal) to the fastest rate of decay among those of the sampled systems; and suitably rescaled Birkhoff averages converge to limit laws. In contrast to previous studies where $ω\in [0,1]$, we allow $ ω>1$ in our sampling distribution. We also show that one can obtain similar decay of correlation rates for $ω\in [0,\infty)$, when sampling is done with respect to a family of smooth, heavy-tailed distributions.

Using the notion of composable simulations, we provide a simple proof for the existence of an accuracy threshold for graph-state computation by invoking the threshold theorem derived for quantum circuit computation. Lower bounds for the threshold in the graph-state model are then obtained from known bounds in the circuit model under the same noise process.

description: Transactions of the Cumberland & Westmorland Antiquarian & Archaeological Society, 15, 195-209
description: By 1840 Carlisle had earned the reputation of being 'the virtual storm centre of Chartism, where pikes were manufactured and the respectable citizens trembled for their lives and property'. The Chartism of 1839-1850 was the culmination of half a century of popular agitation in the Carlisle area, as the cotton industry developed in what had previously been in effect a small market town, albeit officially a cathedral city. But failing to fulfil its early promise as industrialisation advanced, the town ended up as an enclave of handloom weaving, one of the dying trades traditionally associated with militant radicalism. Yet throughout the first half of the nineteenth century, caught up in conditions of poverty and distress which almost defy description, the main hope of the Carlisle labouring classes was always that by achieving a reform of parliamentary representation that would entitle them to the vote, they might be able to halt the further deterioration of their condition. 'Peaceably if we can, but forcibly if we must' was ever their watchword.

description: A fake projective plane is a smooth complex surface which is not the complex projective plane but has the same Betti numbers as the complex projective plane. The first example of such a surface was constructed by David Mumford in 1979 using p-adic uniformization. Two more examples were found by Ishida and Kato by related method. Keum has recently given an example which is possibly different from the three known earlier. It is an interesting problem in complex algebraic geometry to determine all fake projective planes. Using the arithmeticity of the fundamental group of fake projective planes, the formula for the covolume of principal arithmetic subgroups given by the first-named auhor, and some number theoretic estimates, we give a classification of fake projective planes in this paper. Twenty eight distinct classes are found. The construction given in the paper appears to be more direct and more natural. It does not use p-adic uniformization.

description: Excavation by Archaeological Research Services Ltd of a palaeochannel at Fitz Park, Cockermouth, produced 53 fragments from a single early Neolithic Carinated Bowl, pieces of charcoal and a single grain of emmer wheat. The grain of emmer wheat was dated by radiocarbon dating with 95.4% probability to 4886+/-29 BP. The absence of traces of domestic or any other contemporary activity suggests that the palaeochannel may have held a special significance for the early Neolithic people of the area with the fragments of the broken pottery vessel being placed deliberately into the standing water as a votive offering.

The consistency of the results is tested both analytically and numerically using thermodynamic Bethe Ansatz, Destri-de Vega nonlinear integral equation and classical field theory techniques. We present strong evidence that the relation between the boundary state and the reflection factor one-particle couplings, noticed earlier by Dorey et al. in the case of the Lee-Yang model extends to any boundary quantum field theory in 1+1 dimensions.

description: We propose a theoretical model to study individual lifestyle choices related to calorie intake and physical activity, depending on personal fitness level and body weight. The model builds on the rational eating literature and can generate a variety of behaviors that are consistent with the empirical evidence. In particular, we show that engaging in periods of a sedentary lifestyle can be a rational, utility-maximizing decision—a finding that is not present in the existing literature but is empirically widespread. Additionally, we show the possible existence of multiple equilibria and multiple indifferent lifestyles. The former justifies policy interventions to help individuals exit a self-reinforcing, but unhealthy equilibrium; the latter provides a theoretical basis for remediation plans that compensate for earlier unhealthy behaviors.

description: The characteristic feature of 5G is the diversity of its services for different user needs. However, the requirements for these services are competing in nature, which impresses the necessity of a coordinated and flexible network architecture. Although coordinated multipoint (CoMP) systems were primarily proposed to improve the cell edge performance in 4G, their collaborative nature can be leveraged to support the diverse requirements and enabling technologies of 5G and beyond networks. To this end, we propose generalization of CoMP to a proactive and efficient resource utilization framework capable of supporting different user requirements such as reliability, latency, throughput, and security while considering network constraints. This article elaborates on the multiple aspects, inputs, and outputs of the generalized CoMP (GCoMP) framework. Apart from user requirements, the GCoMP decision mechanism also considers the CoMP scenario and network architecture to decide upon outputs such as CoMP technique or appropriate coordinating clusters. To enable easier understanding of the concept, popular use cases, such as vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communication and eHealth, are studied. Additionally, interesting challenges and open areas in GCoMP are discussed.

Excitation spectrum of d-wave Fermi surface deformation

Subjects: subject: Strongly Correlated Electrons (cond-mat.str-el)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Several instabilities competing with the d-wave singlet pairing were proposed for high-Tc cuprates. One of them is the d-wave Fermi surface deformation (dFSD), which is generated by forward scattering. In this paper, correlation functions of the dFSD are calculated within the random phase approximation. In the normal state, the excitation spectrum shows a low energy peak, which smoothly connects to critical fluctuations of the dFSD at lower temperature. The competition with the d-wave pairing, however, blocks the critical fluctuations. The whole spectral weight is transferred to high energy and a pronounced peak appears there in the d-wave pairing state. This peak is an overdamped collective mode of the dFSD and can grow to be a resonance mode at moderate finite wavevectors.

The little that exists frequently positions parents as uninterested and uninvolved, often from the perspectives of teachers, students and government officials. This study explores rural African parents' own perspectives on, and involvement in, schooling in two rural Yorùbá primary school-communities in North central Nigeria and whether, like the extant literature, teachers hold deficit perspectives of parents. To generate data, it uses an ethnographic approach, embedded within a situated Ọmọlúàbí moral ethical ethics framework, employing observation and interview techniques with 22 parents and grandparents, 15 children and 23 teachers. To analyze data, it applies thematic analysis to help capture the essence of the data. Deeper insight is facilitated by the study’s conceptual framework, a combination of capabilitarian concepts – functionings (valued beings and doings) and agency (to achieve functionings) – and Bourdieuian tools – social field, habitus (disposition) and capital (resources) – alongside an existing typology of parental involvement. The findings demonstrate that teachers hold deficit, but simultaneously empathetic, views of rural parents, influenced by their in depth knowledge of school-communities and shared personal experiences, particularly between female teachers and mothers. Parents articulate complex ethnotheories, or cultural beliefs about children’s lives, which transcend schooling and integrate other valued forms of learning: learning at home, Islamic schooling, and informal apprenticeships. Though parents value schooling, they are discouraged by their perceptions of its injustice, particularly the differential outcomes for poor and rich children. Parental involvement in schooling also goes beyond existing categories to reveal other basic, communal, disciplinary, socio-cultural and spiritual schooling practices. The study ultimately demonstrates that research on learning in rural sub-Saharan Africa which narrowly conceives learning as schooling and, therefore, excludes analysis of values and agency outside school learning, underrepresents and underrecognizes parental and other agency around learning.

Stub model for dephasing in a quantum dot

description: As an alternative to Buttiker's dephasing lead model, we examine a dephasing stub. Both models are phenomenological ways to introduce decoherence in chaotic scattering by a quantum dot. The difference is that the dephasing lead opens up the quantum dot by connecting it to an electron reservoir, while the dephasing stub is closed at one end. Voltage fluctuations in the stub take over the dephasing role from the reservoir. Because the quantum dot with dephasing lead is an open system, only expectation values of the current can be forced to vanish at low frequencies, while the outcome of an individual measurement is not so constrained. The quantum dot with dephasing stub, in contrast, remains a closed system with a vanishing low-frequency current at each and every measurement. This difference is a crucial one in the context of quantum algorithms, which are based on the outcome of individual measurements rather than on expectation values. We demonstrate that the dephasing stub model has a parameter range in which the voltage fluctuations are sufficiently strong to suppress quantum interference effects, while still being sufficiently weak that classical current fluctuations can be neglected relative to the nonequilibrium shot noise.

description: We report an experimental study of the quantum corrections to the longitudinal conductivity and the Hall coefficient of a low mobility, high density two-dimensional two-dimensional electron gas in a AlGaAs/GaAs/AlGaAs quantum well in a wide temperature range (1.5 K - 110 K). This temperature range covers both the diffusive and the ballistic interaction regimes for our samples. It was therefore possible to study the crossover region for the longitudinal conductivity and the Hall effect.

description: In his history of Hesket-in-the-Forest, Graham described the village1 and his portrayalof lands included those held by lease and granted under letters patent from 1330-1490.He noted a grant for life to Adam Penington, dated 12 December 1485, of several closeswhich included Better Hesket and Warre Hesket. This note attempts to add informationabout three properties in Calthwaite, one of the townships within Hesket, between thisdate and the years of enclosure in the Forest of Inglewood described by Hope.2 Initially,all three were held under one lease by letters patent, but, later, two came to be held bycopyhold of inheritance.

description: If the concept of “free will” is reduced to that of “choice” all physical world shares the latter quality. Anyway the “free will” can be distinguished from the “choice”: The “free will” involves implicitly a certain goal, and the choice is only the mean, by which the aim can be achieved or not by the onewho determines the target. Thus, for example, an electron has always a choice but not free will unlike a human possessing both. Consequently, and paradoxically, the determinism of classical physics is more subjectiveand more anthropomorphic than the indeterminism of quantum mechanics for the former presupposes certain deterministic goal implicitly following the model of human freewill behavior. Quantum mechanics introduces thechoice in the fundament of physical world involving a generalized case of choice, which can be called “subjectless”: There is certain choice, whichoriginates from the transition of the future into the past. Thus that kind of choice is shared of all existing and does not need any subject: It can be considered as a low of nature. There are a few theorems in quantum mechanics directly relevant to the topic: two of them are called “free willtheorems” by their authors (Conway and Kochen 2006; 2009). Any quantum system either a human or an electron or whatever else has always a choice: Its behavior is not predetermined by its past. This is a physical law. It impliesthat a form of information, the quantum information underlies all existing for the unit of the quantity of information is an elementary choice: either a bit or a quantum bit (qubit).

description: The study reported in this paper measures differences in profitability between conservation farming (CF) practices and conventional agriculture by comparing the value of differential output with the differential input costs. The main objective is to address and fill several important knowledge gaps by investigating three key features of conservation farming in Zambia: 1) the process by which CF originated and spread; 2) the scale of CF adoption across household groups and regions; and 3) the impact of CF on crop output, input use, cost of production and farm income.
The Furness Paper Company Limited. Canal Side Paper Mill, Ulverston

description: Transactions of the Cumberland & Westmorland Antiquarian & Archaeological Society, 15, 234-243
description: The Furness Paper Company was founded in 1873: that it produced paper for less than five years suggests that the mill was badly managed. However, the fact that its directors and shareholder were made up of some of the region's most wealthy individuals, vastly experienced in business and trade suggests another cause. The mill did purchase new machinery soon after its establishment, but as it was bankrupt by January 1880, this investment clearly failed. That it found itself in such dire circumstances was partly due to an economic depression but it was also related to dramatic developments taking place in nearby Lancashire, where there was a 50 per cent increase in the number of paper mills in the 1870s. Primarily relying upon information contained in the Files of Dissolved Companies, the author has written extensively on the Lancashire paper mill 'mania', where many of the unfortunate shareholders saw their investments lost as profits deteriorated, shares became worthless as around half of the newcomers failed soon after incorporation.

description: We consider numeration systems based on a $d$-tuple $\mathbf{U}=(U_1,\ldots,U_d)$ of sequences of integers and we define $(\mathbf{U},\mathbb{K})$-regular sequences through $\mathbb{K}$-recognizable formal series, where $\mathbb{K}$ is any semiring. We show that, for any $d$-tuple $\mathbf{U}$ of Pisot numeration systems and any commutative semiring $\mathbb{K}$, this definition does not depend on the greediness of the $\mathbf{U}$-representations of integers. The proof is constructive and is based on the fact that the normalization is realizable by a $2d$-tape finite automaton. In particular, we use an ad hoc operation mixing a $2d$-tape automaton and a $\mathbb{K}$-automaton in order to obtain a new $\mathbb{K}$-automaton.

description: Much of the research in the past on farm structure and economic well-being focused almost exclusively on farms based on their size, their contribution to total agricultural production, or national net farm income. These aggregate measures do not by themselves adequately explain how well the farm is functioning. Confidence in highly aggregated measures of financial performance in agriculture needs to be tempered with an understanding of the diversity that exists within the farm sector. Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada (AAFC) developed a farm typology, to better explain why particular groups respond differently. The AAFC typology classifies farms into more homogeneous groups based on five factors: organizational structure (non-family farms) age (retirement farms); dependence on off-farm income (lifestyle farms); total family income (low income farms) revenue class.
