The QED contribution to $J/\psi$ plus light hadrons production at B-factories
To understand the direct $J/\psi+X_{\mathrm{non-c\bar{c}}}$ production mechanism in $e^{+}e^{-}$ annihilation, in this work, we propose to measure the inclusive $J/\psi$ plus light hadrons (LH) production at B-factories and present a detailed study on its QED production due to $\psi(2S)$ feed-down, where the $\psi(2S)$ are produced in $e^{+}e^{-}\to \psi(2S)+\gamma$ and $e^{+}e^{-}\to \psi(2S)+f\bar{f}, f=lepton,light quark$, and QED contribution to direct $J/\psi+q\bar{q}$ production with $q=u,d,s$ quark. We find that the QED contribution is huge in the whole phase space region, but can be reduced largely and is in the same order as the QCD contribution when a suitable cut on the angel $\theta_{J/\psi}$ between $J/\psi$ and the $e^{+}e^{-}$ beam is made. In this way, the cross section of $J/\psi+LH$ QCD production %which was predicted theoretical at next-to-leading order QCD together with relativistic correction, can be obtained by subtracting the QED contribution from the experimental measurement on inclusive $J/\psi$ plus light hadrons. To help to remove the QED background, we also calculate the angular and momentum distribution of $J/\psi$ in the QED contribution.

title: J/ψ production via photon fragmentation at hadron colliders
abstract: The transverse momentum (p(t)) distributions of production and polarization for J/psi measured by CDF Collaboration are still challenging our understanding of the heavy quarkonium production mechanism even with recent significant theoretical progresses on the next-to-leading-order (NLO) QCD calculation. We investigate an interesting mechanism for J/psi production at hadron collider, pp((p) over bar) -> gamma* (J/psi) + X with J/psi from a virtual photon gamma* fragmentation. Our calculations show that the J/psi p(t) distribution in the photon fragmentation process up to NLO in alpha(s) will be larger than that of the conventional J/psi production from the color-singlet mechanism at NLO when p(t) > 26 (35) GeV at the Tevatron (LHC) and reach about 6 (10) times of the conventional one when p(t) = 50 (100) GeV at the Tevatron (LHC), in spite of a suppression factor (alpha/alpha(s))(2) that is associated with the QED and QCD coupling constants. In addition, it also has large impact on the p(t) distribution of J/psi polarization in large p(t) region. Therefore, it is an important mechanism for J/psi production at large p(t) region especially for the LHC.

title: ${\mathcal O}(\alpha_s v^2)$ correction to $J/\psi$ plus $\eta_c$ production in $e^+e^-$ annihilation at $\sqrt{s}=10.6GeV
abstract: Based on the nonrelativistic QCD factorization approach, ${\mathcal O}(\alpha_s v^2)$ corrections to $\jpsi$ plus $\eta_c$ production in $e^+e^-$ annihilation at $\sqrt{s}=10.6 \gev$ is calculated in this work. The numerical results show that the correction at $\alpha_s v^2$ order is only about a few percent for the total theoretical result. It indicates that the perturbative expansions for the theoretical prediction become convergence and higher order correction will be smaller. The uncertainties from the long-distance matrix elements, renormalization scale and the measurement in experiment are also discussed. Our result is in agreement with previous result in ref .

title: Discovery potential of new boson W1± in the Minimal Higgsless model at LHC
abstract: In this paper, we demonstrate the LHC discovery potential of new charged vector boson W 1 ± predicted by the Minimal Higgsless model in the process p p → W 1 ± q q ′ → W ± Z 0 q q ′ → l ± l + l − ν q q ′ ( l = e , μ ) by analyzing the generator level events of the signal and backgrounds. The generator for the signal p p → W 1 ± q q ′ → W ± Z 0 q q ′ at tree level is developed with the Minimal Higgsless model and then interfaced with PYTHIA for the parton showers and hadronization. The backgrounds are produced with PYTHIA and ACERMC. We give integrated luminosities required to discover 5σ signal as a function of W 1 ± mass.

title: Signature of same-sign top pair production mediated by a non-universal $Z^\prime$ with QCD NLO accuracy at the LHC
abstract: We present a detailed study of the same-sign top pair production mediated by a non-universal $Z^\prime$ including production and decay at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at the QCD next-to-leading order (NLO) level, using the narrow width approximation and helicity amplitudes method. We find that the QCD NLO corrections can loose the constraint on the model parameters and reduce the dependence of the total cross sections on the factorization scale significantly. We also study the signature and backgrounds of the process at the NLO level. In order to suppress the backgrounds, we further investigate the difference between the production rates of the positively and negatively charged dilepton at the LHC, and find that the same-sign dilepton signal of the new physics could be discovered more easily.

title: Precision determination of the D0 mass.
abstract: A precision measurement of the D0 meson mass has been made using approximately 281 pb(-1) of e+e- annihilation data taken with the CLEO-c detector at the psi(3770) resonance. The exclusive decay D0-->K_{S}phi has been used to obtain M(D0)=1864.847+/-0.150(stat)+/-0.095(syst) MeV. This corresponds to M(D0D*0)=3871.81+/-0.36 MeV, and leads to a well-constrained determination of the binding energy of the proposed D0D*0 molecule X(3872), as Eb=0.6+/-0.6 MeV.

title: Next-to-Leading-Order QCD corrections to $J/\psi (\upsilon) + \gamma$ production at the LHC
abstract: In this work, we calculate the next-to-leading-order (NLO) QCD corrections to the process $p+p \to J/\psi + \gamma$ via the color-singlet mechanism at the LHC. The results show that the partial cross section ($p_t^{J/\psi}>$3GeV and $|y^{J/\psi,\gamma}|<$3) is enhanced by a factor of about 2.0, and the differential cross section can be enhanced by two orders of magnitude in the large transverse momentum region of $J/\psi$. Furthermore, the polarization of $J/\psi$ changes from transverse polarization at leading-order to longitudinal polarization at NLO. For the inclusive $J/\psi$ hadroproduction, it is known that the color-octet contributions are one order of magnitude larger than the color-singlet contribution, and the polarization distribution is dominated by the color-octet behavior at NLO. In contrast, for $J/\psi+\gamma$ production the color-singlet contribution is of the same order as the color-octet contribution, and the polarization distribution arises from both the color-singlet and color-octet. Therefore, measurements of $J/\psi$ production associated with a direct photon at the hadron collider could be an important supplement to testify the theoretical framework treating with the heavy quarkonium. In addition, an NLO QCD correction to $\Upsilon+\gamma$ production at the LHC is also presented in this paper.

abstract: With the first data sample collected by the CLEO-c detector at the psi(3770) resonance we have studied four exclusive semileptonic decays of the D0 meson. Our results include the first observation and absolute branching fraction measurement for D0 --> p-e+ve and improved measurements of the absolute branching fractions for D0 decays to K-e+ve, pi-e+ve, and K*-e+ve.

title: Discrete Wilson Lines in N=1 D=4 Type IIB Orientifolds: A Systematic Exploration for Z6 Orientifold
abstract: We develop techniques to construct general discrete Wilson lines in four-dimensional N=1 type IIB orientifolds, their T-dual realization corresponds to branes positioned at the orbifold fixed points. The explicit order two and three Wilson lines along with their tadpole consistency conditions are given for D=4 N=1 Z6 type IIB orientifold. The systematic search for all models with general order three Wilson lines leads to a small class of inequivalent models. There are only two inequivalent classes of a potentially phenomenologically interesting model that has a possible SU(3)color×SU(2)L×SU(2)R×U(1)B–L gauge structure, arising from a set of branes located at the Z6 orbifold fixed point. We calculate the spectrum and Yukawa couplings for this model. On the other hand, introduction of anti-branes allows for models with three families and realistic gauge group assignment, arising from branes located at the Z3 orbifold fixed points.
