Production rates for hadrons, pentaquarks Theta+ and Theta*++, and di-baryon (Omega Omega)(0+) in relativistic heavy ion collisions by a quark combination model
The hadron production in relativistic heavy ion collisions is well described by the quark combination model. The mixed ratios for various hadrons and the transverse momentum spectra for long-life hadrons are predicted and agree with recent RHIC data. The production rates for the pentaquarks $\Theta ^+$, $\Theta ^{*++}$ and the di-baryon $(\Omega\Omega)_{0^{+}}$ are estimated, neglecting the effect from the transition amplitude for constituent quarks to form an exotic state.

title: Hadron Yield Correlation in Combination Models in High Energy AA Collisions
abstract: We study the hadron yield correlation in the combination models in high energy heavy ion collisions. We derive the relationship between the average yields of different hadrons produced in the combination of a system consisting of equal number of quarks and antiquarks. We present the results for the directly produced hadrons as well as those for the final hadrons including the strong and electromagnetic decay contributions. We also study the net quark influence by considering the case when the number of quarks is larger than that of the antiquarks. We make comparison with the data wherever possible.

title: The nearest correlation in rapidity and the multiplicity distribution in e+e- annihilation
abstract: The authors discuss the combination rule of quarks controlled by the nearest correlation in rapidity. The average yields of mesons, baryons and the multiplicity spectra produced by stochastic accumulation of N pairs of quarks are given. Using the relation between the average yields of quark pairs and energy, which is in fact universal, they calculate the observed yields of meson, baryon and the multiplicity distribution in e+e- annihilation. Comparisons are made of their prediction with the experimental data and the negative binomial distribution.

title: Multiplicity distributions in hadron-hadron collisions based on the universality ansatz
abstract: Recent experiments on small-${p}_{T}$ hadron production in $\mathrm{pp}$ collisions have shed new light on the apparent violation of the universality ansatz by the fact that the multiplicity dispersion in hadron-hadron collisions is much larger than that in ${e}^{+}{e}^{\ensuremath{-}}$ collisions. We present a model based on the universality ansatz, among other things. This model reproduces qualitatively the hadron multiplicity distributions in $\mathrm{pp}$ collisions over a wide range of energies. Within our framework, this essentially resolves the discrepancy stated above. In our approach the universality ansatz is also found to be applicable to the diffractive component events. This is supported by the inclusive $x$-distribution data having various specified number of prongs in the final states.

title: A Study of elliptic flows in a quark combination model
abstract: We carry out a detail study of elliptic flows in Au-Au collisions at 200 AGeV in a quark combination model. We find that elliptic flow data for a variety of hadrons can be well reproduced except pions if constituent quarks with equal parallel transverse momenta combine into initially produced hadrons. In a combination mechanism where initial hadrons are formed by quarks with unequal parallel transverse momenta, theoretical predictions agree with data for all available hadrons including pions. The mass hierarchy at low transverse momenta in elliptic flows can be understood in the same quark combination mechanism as in the mediate range of transverse momenta.

title: Charged-particle rapidity density in Au+Au collisions in a quark combination model
abstract: Rapidity/pseudorapidity densities for charged particles and their centrality, rapidity, and energy dependence in Au+Au collisions at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider are studied in a quark combination model. Using a Gaussian-type rapidity distribution for constituent quarks as a result of Landau hydrodynamic evolution, the data at {radical}(s{sub NN})=130,200 GeV at various centralities in full pseudorapidity range are well described, and the charged-particle multiplicities are reproduced as functions of the number of participants. The energy dependence of the shape of the dN{sub ch}/d{eta} distribution is also described at various collision energies {radical}(s{sub NN})=200,130,62.4 GeV in central collisions with same value of parameters except 19.6 GeV. The calculated rapidity distributions and yields for the charged pions and kaons in central Au+Au collisions at {radical}(s{sub NN})=200 GeV are compared with experimental data of the BRAHMS Collaboration.

title: Pair-produced heavy particle topologies: MSSM neutralino properties at the LHC from gluino/squark cascade decays
abstract: Processes of the form pp → anything → XiXj → $x\bar{x}$ + $y\bar{y}$ + notE are studied via a technique that may be viewed as an adaptation of time-honoured Dalitz plot analyses. Xi and Xj are new heavy states (with i, j =1, . . .,n), which may be identical or distinct; and $x\bar{x}$ and $y\bar{y}$ are necessarily distinct standard model (SM) fermion pairs whose invariant masses can be measured. A Dalitz-like plot of said invariant masses, $M(x\bar{x})$ versus $M(y\bar{y})$, exhibits a topology connected to the masses and specific decay chains of Xi and Xj. Aside from relatively minor details, observed patterns consist of a collection of box and wedge shapes. This collection is model-dependent: comparison of the observed pattern to the possibilities for a specific model yields information on which new particle pair combinations are actually being produced, information beyond that extractable from conventional one-dimensional invariant mass distributions. The technique is illustrated via application to the minimal supersymmetric standard model (MSSM) process pp → $ \tilde{g}\tilde{g},\tilde{g}\tilde{q},\tilde{q}\tilde{q} \to \widetilde{\chi}_i^0 \widetilde{\chi}_j^0$ → e+e- + μ+μ- notE. Here the heavy states are neutralinos $\widetilde{\chi}_i^0$ (i = 2,3,4) - note that $\widetilde{\chi}_1^0$ is excluded - which are produced in gluino/squark ($\tilde{g}$/$\tilde{q}$) cascade decay chains. Even with fairly modest expectations for the LHC performance during the first few years, this method still provides substantial insight into the neutralino mass spectrum and couplings if gluino/squark masses are relatively low (≃ 400 GeV).

title: Observation of B decays to two kaons.
abstract: Using 449x10(6) BB[over ] pairs collected with the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric-energy e(+)e(-) collider, we observe clear signals for B(+)-->K[over ](0)K(+) and B(0)-->K[over ](0)K(0) decays with 5.3sigma and 6.0sigma significance, respectively. We measure the branching fractions B(B(+)-->K[over ](0)K(+))=(1.22(-0.28-0.16)(+0.32+0.13))x10(-6) and B(B(0)-->K[over ](0)K(0))=(0.87(-0.20)(+0.25)+/-0.09)x10(-6), and partial-rate asymmetries A(CP)(B(+)-->K[over ](0)K(+))=0.13(-0.24)(+0.23)+/-0.02 and A(CP)(B(0)-->K[over ](0)K(0))=-0.58(-0.66)(+0.73)+/-0.04. From a simultaneous fit, we also obtain B(B(+)-->K(0)pi(+))=(22.8(-0.7)(+0.8)+/-1.3)x10(-6) and A(CP)(B(+)-->K(0)pi(+))=0.03+/-0.03+/-0.01. The first and second error in the branching fractions and the partial-rate asymmetries are statistical and systematic, respectively. No signal is observed for B(0)-->K(+)K(-) decays, and for this branching fraction, we set an upper limit of 4.1x10(-7) at the 90% confidence level.
