This study analyzes the correlation between the lifetime and the rest energy of the unstable particle states with a lifetime greater than the zeptosecond (10−21 s), using data available from the Particle Data Group. This set of states seems to be divided into three groups, in each of which the two quantities can be correlated through a remarkably accurate power law. Although this fact does not represent anything new compared to the predictions of the Standard Model, it nevertheless reveals an unexpected order structure in the set of particle decays, emerging from such predictions.

The new experimental data of kaon photoproduction on the nucleon γp → K+Λ have been analyzed by means of a multipoles model. Different from the previous models, in this analysis the resonance decay widths are constrained to the values given by the Particle Data Group (PDG). The result indicates that constraining these parameters to the PDG values could dramatically change the conclusion of the important resonances in this reaction found in the previous studies.

Abstract We formulate a perturbative framework for the flavor transformation of the standard active three neutrinos but with a non-unitary flavor mixing matrix, a system which may be relevant for the leptonic unitarity test. We use the $\alpha$ parametrization of the non-unitary matrix and take its elements $\alpha_{\beta \gamma}$ ($\beta,\gamma = e,\mu,\tau$) and the ratio $\epsilon \simeq \Delta m^2_{21} / \Delta m^2_{31}$ as the small expansion parameters. Two qualitatively new features that hold in all the oscillation channels are uncovered in the probability formula obtained to first order in the expansion: (1) The phases of the complex $\alpha$ elements always come into the observable in the particular combination with the $\nu$SM CP phase $\delta$ in the form $[e^{- i \delta } \bar{\alpha}_{\mu e}, ~e^{ - i \delta} \bar{\alpha}_{\tau e}, ~\bar{\alpha}_{\tau \mu}]$ under the Particle Data Group convention of a unitary $\nu$SM mixing matrix. (2) The diagonal $\alpha$ parameters appear in particular combinations $\left( a/b - 1 \right) \alpha_{ee} + \alpha_{\mu \mu}$ and $\alpha_{\mu \mu} - \alpha_{\tau \tau}$, where $a$ and $b$ denote, respectively, the matter potential due to charged current and neutral current reactions. This property holds only in the unitary evolution part of the probability, and there is no such feature in the genuine non-unitary part, while the $\delta$–$\alpha$ parameter phase correlation exists for both. The reason for such remarkable stability of the phase correlation is discussed.

We use lattice QCD to fully determine the CKM matrix. |Vcd|, |Vcs|, |Vub|, |Vcb| and |Vus| are, respectively, directly determined with our lattice results for form factors of semileptonic D → πlν, D → Klν, B → πlν, B → Dlν and K → πlν decays. The accuracy is comparable to that of the Particle Data Group averages. In addition, |Vud|, |Vtb|, |Vts| and |Vtd| are determined by using unitarity of the CKM matrix and the experimental result for sin (2β). In this way, we obtain all 9 CKM matrix elements, where the only theoretical input is lattice QCD.

The interaction potentials between vector mesons and baryon octet are calculated explicitly with a summation of t-, s-, and u- channel diagrams and a contact term originating from the tensor interaction. Altogether, 13 resonances are generated dynamically in different channels of strangeness zero by solving the relativistic Lippman-Schwinger equations in the S-wave approximation, and their masses, decay widths, isospins and spins are determined. Some resonances are well fitted with their counterparts listed in the newest review of Particle Data Group (PDG),1 while others might stimulate the experimental observation in these energy regions in the future.

The possible violation of CP, T and CPT symmetries in the [Formula: see text] system is studied in a way as phenomenological and comprehensive as possible. For this purpose, we first introduce parameters which represent violation of these symmetries in mixing parameters and decay amplitudes in a convenient and well-defined way and, treating these parameters as small, derive formulas which relate them to the experimentally measured quantities. We then perform numerical analyses to derive constraints to these symmetry-violating parameters, with the latest data reported by KTeV Collaboration, NA48 Collaboration and CPLEAR Collaboration, along with those compiled by Particle Data Group, used as inputs. The result obtained by CPLEAR Collaboration from an unconstrained fit to a time-dependent leptonic asymmetry, aided by the Bell–Steinberger relation, enables us to determine or constrain most of the parameters separately. It is shown among the other things that (1) CP and T symmetries are violated definitively at least at the level of 10-4in 2π decays, (2) CP and T symmetries are violated at least at the level of 10-3in the [Formula: see text] mixing, and (3) CPT symmetry is at present tested to the level of 10-5at the utmost.

In this paper, we calculate the light and strange baryons spectrum using a new baryon mass formula. For this purpose we have exactly solved the radial Schrödinger equation in six-dimensional Hilbert space under the decatic potential by power series method via a suitable ansatz to the wave function with parameters those existing in the potential function, possibly for the first time. By applying our model, we find a good agreement for the even and odd parity resonances, the excited multiplets up to 3 GeV and the position of the Roper resonances of the nucleon with the spectrum of the particle data group.
