Implications of a Large $B_s \rightarrow μ^+ μ^-$ Branching Fraction for the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model

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

description: Very recently, the CDF Collaboration reported the first non-zero measurement of the $B_s \rightarrow μ^+ μ^-$ branching fraction. The central value of this measurement is more than 5 times of that predicted in the Standard Model and, if confirmed, would indicate the existence of new physics. We consider the implications of this measurement for the specific case of the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM), and find that it requires large values of $\tan β$ ($\gsim 30$) and favors moderate values for the masses of the heavy higgs bosons ($m_A, m_H \sim 300-1200$ GeV). We also discuss the implications of this measurement for neutralino dark matter, finding that (within the MSSM) regions of parameter space in which the lightest neutralino can efficiently annihilate through the pseudoscalar higgs resonance (the $A$-funnel region) are favored.

description: Ο σημερινός καταναλωτής είναι ίσως πιο συνδεδεμένος και ενημερωμένος από ποτέ. Η δυνατότητα του σύγχρονου καταναλωτή, να ελέγχει τιμές σε πραγματικό χρόνο, να συγκρίνει προϊόντα/ υπηρεσίες και αξίες, να συνδιαλλάσσεται κοινωνικά για όλα αυτά (να ανταλλάσσει απόψεις, δεδομένα και οπτικές) και να απαιτεί όλο και περισσότερα, είναι μοναδική στην ιστορία. Για πρώτη φορά, οι καταναλωτές, μπορεί να έχουν κανάλια επικοινωνίας, από όπου μπορεί να αντλούν πληροφορίες από τις εμπειρίες ατόμων σε όλο τον κόσμο και να αμφισβητούν τις σχέσεις που είχαν σε σχέση με τους οργανισμούς. Ενώ η συνδεσιμότητα αυτή έχει δώσει στους καταναλωτές τη δυνατότητα να κάνουν αγορές με πολλούς διαφορετικούς τρόπους, ή να συμπεριφέρονται πιο έξυπνα από ποτέ, έχει επίσης δημιουργήσει ευκαιρίες αλλά και απειλές για τους οργανισμούς. Συγκεκριμένα, έχει επιτρέψει στους λιανοπωλητές να αλληλεπιδρούν με τους πελάτες πιο στοχευμένα και να γίνονται αυτές οι αλληλεπιδράσεις, ολοένα και πιο εξατομικευμένα. Οι προσδοκίες των πελατών έχουν αλλάξει από τα μέσα του 20ου αιώνα, όταν η προσβασιμότητα των προϊόντων ήταν το κλειδί για την κατάκτηση των αγορών. Σήμερα, οι πελάτες θέλουν να ξεχωρίζουν. Η επιθυμία να κατέχουν ένα προϊόν που φέρει την προσωπική τους υπογραφή είναι εμφανής. Οι οργανισμοί ανακάλυψαν αυτή τη λανθάνουσα ανάγκη και η έννοια της εξατομίκευσης αναπτύχθηκε. Υπό αυτή την άποψη, η εξατομίκευση είναι ένας τρόπος αναγνώρισης της μοναδικότητας του κάθε πελάτη, ικανοποιώντας τον/την με προϊόντα που είναι προσαρμοσμένα σύμφωνα με τις προτιμήσεις τους. Στην πράξη, η εξατομίκευση θεωρείται ως μια διαδικασία που έχει ως στόχο να επιμεληθεί/ αναπτύξει μια σχετική, εξατομικευμένη αλληλεπίδραση για την ενίσχυση των πελατειακών εμπειριών. Στην παρούσα εργασία μελετήθηκαν τα παραπάνω, ενώ διενεργήθηκαν ενδελεχείς στατιστικοί έλεγχοι (στη βάση της υιοθέτησης της ποσοτικής μεθόδου), για την αναγνώριση των σχέσεων ανάμεσα στην εξατομικευμένη εμπειρία και τις τελικές προθέσεις αφοσίωσης.

description: This study reports a statistical analysis of monthly sunspot number time series and observes non homogeneity and asymmetry within it. Using Mann-Kendall test a linear trend is revealed. After identifying stationarity within the time series we generate autoregressive AR(p) and autoregressive moving average (ARMA(p,q)). Based on minimization of AIC we find 3 and 1 as the best values of p and q respectively. In the next phase, autoregressive neural network (AR-NN(3)) is generated by training a generalized feedforward neural network (GFNN). Assessing the model performances by means of Willmott's index of second order and coefficient of determination, the performance of AR-NN(3) is identified to be better than AR(3) and ARMA(3,1).

Subjects: Bacillus Calmette-Guerin (BCG) vaccination, COVID-19; media reports, public discussion

description: The article deals with the impact of reports of the immune-stimulating effect of the Bacillus Calmette-Guerin (BCG) vaccination and its potential effect against COVID-19 in Bulgaria. The study delineates the media coverage and public commentaries on the topic and the ways in which names of individuals and institutions are rescued from oblivion in the new, pandemic context. Attention is paid to the public discussions on social stratification, on the dependencies between medicine, politics and economy, and on the role of the state in the recent past and today. By this concrete example, the author also presents a starting ERC synergy project (2020–2026) on the history of post-war Europe through the prism of medicine and health: “European Leviathan: The Legacy of Post-War Medicine and the Common Good”.
Atom-atom correlations in time-of-flight imaging of ultra-cold bosons in optical lattices

description: We study the spatial correlations of strongly interacting bosons in a ground state, confined in two-dimensional square and three-dimensional cubic lattice. Using combined Bogoliubov method and the quantum rotor approach, we map the Hamiltonian of strongly interacting bosons onto U(1) phase action in order to calculate the atom-atom correlations decay along the principal axis and a diagonal of the lattice plane direction as a function of distance. Lower tunneling rates lead to quicker decays of the correlations, which character becomes exponential. Finally, correlation functions allow us to calculate quantities that are directly bound to experimental outcomes, namely time-of-flight absorption images and resulting visibility. Our results contain all the characteristic features present in experimental data (transition from Mott insulating blob to superfluid peaks, etc.), which emphasizes the usability of the proposed approach.

exoplanets

description: A thesis presented to the Departments of Astronomy and Folklore & Mythology in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Bachelor of Arts.  The bulk of the work comprises science fiction.  There are two appendices, Appendix A, "Habitability Test of EPIC 206032309", McTier et al.; and Appendix B, "Thirty Meter Telescope Conflict", which provides historical, technical, and ethnographic background necessary to better understand the conflict and metaphor in the book.

Abstract of Appendix A:

In the search for habitable exoplanets, astronomers’ primary criterion is that the planet’s equilibrium temperature is such that it could hold liquid water. Using photometric data from the K2 mission, we analyze the transit light curve of EPIC 206032309 (from here on, called EPIC), a single-planet system located ≈ 220 pc away. In this paper, we report the stellar, planetary, and orbital properties of this system. We assert that, with an equilibrium temperature of 978±49K, EPIC does not reside in the habitable zone of its host star.
Do scale-invariant fluctuations imply the breaking of de Sitter invariance?

description: The quantization of the massless minimally coupled (mmc) scalar field in de Sitter spacetime is known to be a non-trivial problem due to the appearance of strong infrared (IR) effects. In particular, the scale-invariance of the CMB power-spectrum - certainly one of the most successful predictions of modern cosmology - is widely believed to be inconsistent with a de Sitter invariant mmc two-point function. Using a Cesaro-summability technique to properly define an otherwise divergent Fourier transform, we show in this Letter that de Sitter symmetry breaking is \emph{not} a necessary consequence of the scale-invariant fluctuation spectrum. We also generalize our result to the tachyonic scalar fields, i.e the discrete series of representations of the de Sitter group, that suffer from similar strong IR effects.

description: Quantum algorithms could be much faster than classical ones in solving the factoring problem. Adiabatic quantum computation for this is an alternative approach other than Shor's algorithm. Here we report an improved adiabatic factoring algorithm and its experimental realization to factor the number 143 on a liquid crystal NMR quantum processor with dipole-dipole couplings. We believe this to be the largest number factored in quantum-computation realizations, which shows the practical importance of adiabatic quantum algorithms.

The Distribution And Chemistry Of Formaldehyde Around Tw Hydrae

protoplanetary disks

description: The study of the chemistry of protoplanetary disks has broad implications for our understanding of planet compositions and the availability of the conditions necessary for life. Formaldehyde (H2CO), an early precursor of complex organic molecules (COMs), is an important piece of this chemical puzzle. However, it is unclear by which pathway(s) H2CO is formed in disks: both gas-phase pathways (important close to the star) and grain-surface pathways (important at and outside the CO snowline) are possible. We present high-resolution synthesized beam 0.51" x 0.48" or 28 x 26 AU) ALMA observations of the 312 →211 line of o-H2CO in the nearby transition disk TW Hydrae. By searching for an abundance profile consistent with the observations, we constrain the location and thereby the dominant formation pathway of H2CO. We find that H2CO emission forms a ring with an inner radius of about 10 AU. The central gap and increasing abundance with radius points to a grain-surface dominated chemistry. The inferred inner radius disagrees with the CO snowline location previously measured in TW Hya of 30 AU, but can be explained by the formation of thin layers of CO on water ices which can occur well inside this radius. Observations of a wider sample of disks will be necessary to determine which disk properties lead to different contributions from gas-phase and grain-surface H2CO production in general.

description: We discuss the possible source of a highly-dispersed radio transient discovered in the Parkes Multi-beam Pulsar Survey (PMPS). The pulse has a dispersion measure of $746\mathrm{cm}^{-3}\mathrm{pc}$, a peak flux density of 400 mJy for the observed pulse width of 7.8 ms, and a flat spectrum across a 288-MHz band centred on 1374 MHz. The flat spectrum suggests that the pulse did not originate from a pulsar, but is consistent with radio-emitting magnetar spectra. The non-detection of subsequent bursts constrains any possible pulsar period to $\gtrsim1$ s, and the pulse energy distribution to being much flatter than typical giant pulse emitting pulsars. The burst is also consistent with the radio signal theorised from an annihilating mini black hole. Extrapolating the PMPS detection rate, provides a limit of $Ω_{BH}\lesssim5\times10^{-14}$ on the density of these objects. We investigate the consistency of these two scenarios, plus several other possible solutions, as potential explanations to the origin of the pulse, as well as for another transient with similar properties: the Lorimer Burst.

Movements of Reconciliation Within the Trinity: Inferences for Pastoral Theology
Creators: name: Cuthbert, Alistair
Publisher: name: Journal of European Baptist Studies
Year: 2022

description: Situations of abuse, neglect, violence, control, hubris, and so forth, which break relationships and leave a trail of unforgiveness and hurt, are commonly encountered by those in person-centred care services, especially ministers of the Christian church. In these scenarios, the need for genuine, reconciling transformation of the inter-personal relations is significant and imperative, and yet there are often numerous blockages that limit statements of grace and forgiveness to only lip service. What is often missing is a robust theology of reconciliation upon which all verbal and physical statements of forgiveness and reconciliation can be grounded. In this article, Paul S. Fiddes’ theology of reconciliation, which is undergirded by his ‘persons as relations’ definition of the Trinity, is outlined and then drawn upon in order to begin a delineation of a vigorous theology of forgiveness and reconciliation. Into this theology it will be possible to locate all attempts at forgiving and reconciling movements towards inter-personal transformation.

description: In this work we use the algebraic Bethe ansatz to derive the general scalar product in the six-vertex model for generic Boltzmann weights. We performed this calculation using only the unitarity property, the Yang-Baxter algebra and the Yang-Baxter equation. We have derived a recurrence relation for the scalar product. The solution of this relation was written in terms of the domain wall partition functions. By its turn, these partition functions were also obtained for generic Boltzmann weights, which provided us with an explicit expression for the general scalar product.

Within, there is a hidden life that offers a rich resource for understanding, realignment and healing; within, the history in our bodies has a voice. Our dreams have the ability, and capacity, to forge a reconciliation with, and forgiveness of, the past – so that we can move forward into a more vibrant, graceful, and potent present, and future.

Seeking an Indian Identity: Baptist Witness in Orissa, India, from the 1860s to the 1880s
Creators: name: Randall, Ian
Publisher: name: Journal of European Baptist Studies
Year: 2022

description: The English General Baptists represented a strand of Baptist life which took shape in the seventeenth century and became a denominational body alongside the larger Particular or Calvinistic Baptist denomination. In 1816 the General Baptist Missionary Society (GBMS) was formed, a product of the New Connexion of General Baptists that resulted from the Evangelical Revival. This article examines the way GBMS sought to develop an authentic Indian witness in Orissa, from the 1860s to the end of the 1880s. It examines several themes: developing local churches and leaders; concern and care for all human needs; wider connections with other bodies; Baptist convictions; and an enlarged Baptist identity created in 1891 when the GBMS amalgamated with the Baptist Missionary Society (BMS). The article makes especial use of the GBMS monthly magazine, the Missionary Observer. Brian Stanley, in his history of the BMS, suggests that the Orissa mission was one of the most fruitful fields for Baptist work in India. The features of this have not previously been analysed.

Towards a Baptist Theology of Creation: Thinking in Place with Willie James Jennings and Baptist Ecclesiology
Creators: name: Davidson, Samuel
Publisher: name: Journal of European Baptist Studies
Year: 2022

description: The article takes Willie James Jennings’s vision for a theology of creaturely connection as a starting point for suggesting a distinctively Baptist mode of creation theology — one that both flows out of and may further inform Baptist ecclesiology. It is argued that theologies of creation and church are mutually informing and patterned after one another in ways that tend to go unrecognised. Drawing on the work of Stephen Holmes and Paul Fiddes, it is suggested that the interrelated emphases on responsible discipleship, congregational liberty, and associationalism orient the Baptist imagination toward the particularities of local communities, encouraging a doctrine of creation that analogously begins with and lingers over how a given place is created and sustained by God in its ecological interdependence.

description: A general expression for the dead cone of gluons radiated by virtual partons has been derived. The conventional dead cone for massive on-shell quarks and the dead cone for the massless virtual partons have been obtained by using different limits of the general expression. Radiative suppression due to the virtuality of initial parton jets in Heavy-Ion Collisions (HIC) has been discussed. It is observed that the suppression caused by the high virtuality is overwhelmingly large as compared to that on account of conventional dead-cone of heavy quarks. The dead cone due to virtuality may play a crucial role in explaining the observed similar suppression patterns of light and heavy quarks jets in heavy ion collisions at Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC).

Er stellt sich der Herausforderung, eine Synthese zwischen ‚gemachter‘ Architektur und ‚natürlicher’ Umgebung entstehen zu lassen. Besonderer Fokus wird in der vorliegenden Arbeit einerseits auf die Betrachtung der Beletage gelegt, in der eine Verflechtung von Architektur und Urbanität angestrebt wird, andererseits wird auf den Lichtschacht geblickt, der versucht, den Bau mit den natürlichen Elementen seines Lebensraumes zu verknüpfen.

We consider full five-dimensional quadrupole dynamics including three-dimensional rotations restoring the broken symmetries as well as axially symmetric and asymmetric shape fluctuations. We show that the intimate connections between the BCS pairing and collective vibrations reveal through the inertial masses governing their collective kinetic energies.

Furthermore, by excluding the lightest mass points, we are able to test the reliability of SU(2) chPT as a tool to extrapolate towards the physical point from higher pion masses.

The Metaphors We Preach By: Preaching as Graffiti
Creators: name: Blythe, Stuart McLeod
Publisher: name: Journal of European Baptist Studies
Year: 2022

description: This article describes and discusses preaching as graffiti. That is, it is an article about the metaphors used for preaching and the potential of novel metaphors. One of the ways in which people conceptualise and describe preaching is through metaphors. These are the metaphors ‘we preach by’. Some metaphors are conventional. They express the familiar but do not communicate all that there is say about the nature of preaching. Other metaphors are novel metaphors. These metaphors bring fresh perspectives to the practice of preaching. This can be seen through the novel metaphor of preaching as graffiti. It is a metaphor that associates preaching with graffiti through their shared performative nature. It also resonates theologically with the metaphorical use of the language of ‘writing’ in the Scriptures to describe the behaviour-changing influence of God’s Word on people’s lives. Furthermore, it is a metaphor that carries inferences that highlight features of preaching that are sometimes hidden or downplayed in other more conventional metaphors. These features include the artistic, transgressive, the interruptive, and the ephemeral nature of preaching as it contends with other, sometimes unrecognised, words spoken into people’s lives.

Publisher: name: Journal of European Baptist Studies
Year: 2022

description: This article argues that, in addition to infant baptism, the early Church practised infant dedication and subsequent enrolment into the catechumenate as a way of incorporating children who were born to Christian parents into the church. The first section presents cases of children who were born to Christian parents and yet who were not baptised as infants. The second section provides texts and commentary regarding infant dedication and/or enrolment into the catechumenate. The third section discusses how this evidence might be applied to our current church setting.

Sacredness of Life and the Ethics of Justice: An Appreciative Evangelical Response to David Gushee’s Post-Evangelical Approach
Creators: name: Spitzer, Lee
Publisher: name: Journal of European Baptist Studies
Year: 2022

description: In his new book, Introducing Christian Ethics: Core Convictions for Christians Today, Gushee revisits theological positions he and Glen H. Stassen originally articulated in Kingdom Ethics: Following Jesus in Contemporary Context. Correlated with Gushee’s move toward a post-evangelical perspective, the new publication reframes his earlier evangelical positions and proposes post-evangelical positions for conversation by the church. This article offers an appreciative yet critical response to Gushee’s evolving understanding of sacredness of life and justice ethics, in light of selected traditional evangelical and Baptist core convictions and justice concerns. Three specific areas of conversational concern are highlighted. First, the implications of Gushee’s rejection of capacity to frame a definition of the image of God in human beings and replacement of it with an allegiance to God’s command. Second, the article considers Gushee’s concept of the moral status of human worth and introduces the theme of personality into the discussion of imago Dei. Third, that sacredness of life convictions inevitably influence justice ethics. Gushee’s earlier work centred on Righteous Gentiles of the Holocaust. The article considers how personality as an integral aspect of imago Dei impacts the ethical discussion of Christian justice concerns in relation to the Holocaust and racism.

description: In this paper we consider symmetric games where a large number of players can be in any one of d states. We derive a limiting mean field model and characterize its main properties. This mean field limit is a system of coupled ordinary differential equations with initial-terminal data. For this mean field problem we prove a trend to equilibrium theorem, that is convergence, in an appropriate limit, to stationary solutions. Then we study the $N+1$-player problem, which the mean field model attempts to approximate. Our main result is the convergence as $N\to \infty$ of the mean field model and an estimate of the rate of convergence. We end the paper with some further examples for potential mean field games.

description: We demonstrate that very massive (>10^8\msun), cosmologically nearby (z<1) black hole binaries (MBHBs), which are primary targets for ongoing and upcoming pulsar timing arrays (PTAs), are particularly appealing multimessenger carriers. According to current models for massive black hole formation and evolution, the planned Square Kilometer Array (SKA) will collect gravitational wave signals from thousands of such massive systems, being able to individually resolve and locate in the sky several of them (maybe up to a hundred). By employing a standard model for the evolution of MBHBs in circumbinary discs, with the aid of dedicated numerical simulations, we characterize the gas-binary interplay, identifying possible electromagnetic signatures of the PTA sources. We concentrate our investigation on two particularly promising scenarios in the high energy domain, namely, the detection of X-ray periodic variability and of double broad Kαiron lines. Up to several hundreds of periodic X-ray sources with a flux >10^-13 erg s^-1 cm^-2 will be in the reach of upcoming X-ray observatories. Double relativistic Kαlines may be observable in a handful of low redshift (z<0.3) sources by proposed deep X-ray probes, such as Athena. (Abridged)

description: The focus of my thesis is the International Baccalaureate program, which is a high school diploma program which emphasizes academic rigor and intercultural understanding among its main tenets. I had two goals in this thesis: first, to investigate the characteristics of students who took calculus in the International Baccalaureate program and compare them to students who took calculus in other high school programs and to students who took no calculus at all before taking it in college; and second, to probe what kinds of differences exist in students’ performance on their first college calculus courses based on the type of high school calculus course they had taken, if any. I used data from the FICSMath survey to perform these analyses. The results included some anomalous findings in the demographic makeup of the IB student sample, notably in the racial profile of the group. I also found links to the IB origins as a program to accommodate international students. In answering the second research question, I found that the performance of the IB students was not significantly different from that of other students who had previously taken calculus in high school; the only group which performed significantly differently from the IB students was those who had had no prior calculus experience before taking their first college calculus course. All of my main effects variables were significant in the regression model, and there were no significant interaction terms.
Collective Forgiveness, Racism, and Patriarchy: The Challenge for US White Baptist Congregations
Creators: name: Whitaker, Erica
Publisher: name: Journal of European Baptist Studies
Year: 2022

description: In his chapter on forgiveness, David Gushee asks, ‘can collective groups forgive?’ The difficulty of collective forgiveness is the focus of this article, which asks, ‘What aspects of collective forgiveness need to be learned by white Baptist congregations in the process of forgiveness for the past sins of slavery?’ The article investigates ecclesial practices and examines the ecclesial challenges needed for the offender in the harmed relationship to practise forgiveness. I first establish why white Baptist churches have not engaged with the notion of collective forgiveness. Second, I propose dismantling soft patriarchy to open the possibility for white churches to become places that can engage in collective forgiveness. In conclusion, I evaluate egalitarian feminism as a way forward for ecclesial communities to practise collective forgiveness. I also offer two first-steps for these Baptist congregations: hiring and electing an equal number of woman in leadership roles and changing theological language.

description: One of the fundamental requirements for an artificial hand to successfully grasp and manipulate an object is to be able to distinguish different objects' shapes and, more specifically, the objects' surface curvatures. In this study, we investigate the possibility of enhancing the curvature detection of embedded tactile sensors by proposing a ridged fingertip structure, simulating human fingerprints. In addition, a curvature detection approach based on machine learning methods is proposed to provide the embedded sensors with the ability to discriminate the surface curvature of different objects. For this purpose, a set of experiments were carried out to collect tactile signals from a 2 \times 2 tactile sensor array, then the signals were processed and used for learning algorithms. To achieve the best possible performance for our machine learning approach, three different learning algorithms of Naïve Bayes (NB), Artificial Neural Networks (ANN), and Support Vector Machines (SVM) were implemented and compared for various parameters. Finally, the most accurate method was selected to evaluate the proposed skin structure in recognition of three different curvatures. The results showed an accuracy rate of 97.5% in surface curvature discrimination.

description: This article considers the estimation of the number of severely disabled people using data from the Italian survey on Health Conditions and Appeal to Medicare. Disability is indirectly measured using a set of categorical items, which survey a set of functions concerning the ability of a person to accomplish everyday tasks. Latent Class Models can be employed to classify the population according to different levels of a latent variable connected with disability. The survey, however, is designed to provide reliable estimates at the level of Administrative Regions (NUTS2 level), while local authorities are interested in quantifying the amount of population that belongs to each latent class at a sub-regional level. Therefore, small area estimation techniques should be used. The challenge of the present application is that the variable of interest is not directly observed. Adopting a full Bayesian approach, we base small area estimation on a Latent Class model in which the probability of belonging to each latent class changes with covariates and the influence of age is learnt from the data using penalized splines. Deimmler-Reisch bases are shown to improve speed and mixing of MCMC chains used to simulate posteriors.

description: Various approaches to increase efficiency of antitumor therapy by a combination of vaccinotherapy, chemotherapy and surgical excision of primary tumor nodes, and also the comparative analyses of therapeutic and preventive application of antitumoral vaccines were carried out in melanoma experimental model. It was postulated that preventive vaccination is able to prevent tumor incidence by 70 %. The combination of vaccinotherapy and surgical treatment of melanoma increases antimetastatic activity of vaccination by 43 %. We conclude the combined therapy would lead to more effective antitumor response.

description: Recent studies show indication of the effectiveness of synchronization as a data assimilation tool for small or meso-scale forecast when less number of variables are observed frequently. Our main aim here is to understand the effects of changing observational frequency and observational noise on synchronization and prediction in a low dimensional chaotic system, namely the Chua circuit model. We perform {\it identical twin experiments} in order to study synchronization using discrete-in-time observations generated from independent model run and coupled unidirectionally to the model through $x$, $y$ and $z$ separately. We observe synchrony in a finite range of coupling constant when coupling the x and y variables of the Chua model but not when coupling the z variable. This range of coupling constant decreases with increasing levels of noise in the observations. The Chua system does not show synchrony when the time gap between observations is greater than about one-seventh of the Lyapunov time. Finally, we also note that prediction errors are much larger when noisy observations are used than when using observations without noise.

description: The in-pseudoscalar-meson condensate can be represented through the pseudoscalar-meson's scalar form factor at zero momentum transfer. With the aid of a mass formula for scalar mesons, revealed herein, the analogue is shown to be true for in-scalar-meson condensates. The concept is readily extended to all hadrons so that, via the zero momentum transfer value of any hadron's scalar form factor, one can readily extract the value for a quark condensate in that hadron which is a measure of dynamical chiral symmetry breaking.
