The direct CP asymmetry (aCP) for the process B+→π+K0 is studied including the contributions arising from both the QCD and electroweak penguins and the long range inelastic final state interactions (IFSI). The usually neglected space-like penguins and the annihilation contributions are also taken into account in our analysis. The next-to-leading order low energy effective Hamiltonian and BSW model are used to evaluate the weak transition matrix elements. The effect of space-like and annihilation diagrams are studied using the Lepage and Brodsky model. We found that as a result of FSI, the CP asymmetry and the branching ratio are suppressed slightly in comparison to no FSI situation, but the obtained branching ratio with FSI agrees very well with the present experimental value. With our predicted value of aCP~1010, charged B mesons are required to resolve the CP asymmetry experimentally at 3σ level.

We have investigated the effect of the isospin ½, JP=0+ resonant state [Formula: see text] on the decays [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] as a function of the branching ratio sum [Formula: see text] and coupling constants [Formula: see text]. We have used a factorized input for [Formula: see text] weak transition through a πK loop. We estimated both on- and off-shell contributions from the loop. Our calculation shows that the off-shell effects are significant. For r≥30% a fit to the decay amplitude [Formula: see text] was possible, but the amplitude [Formula: see text] remained at its factorized value. For small values of r, r≤18%, we were able to fit [Formula: see text], and despite the fact that [Formula: see text] could be raised by almost 100% over its factorized value, it still falls short of its experimental value. A simultaneous fit to both amplitudes [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] was not possible. We have also determined the strong phase of the resonant amplitudes for both decays.

Abstract We propose a novel local subtraction scheme for the computation of Next-to-Leading Order contributions to theoretical predictions for scattering processes in perturbative Quantum Field Theory. With respect to well known schemes proposed since many years that build upon the analysis of the real radiation matrix elements, our construction starts from the loop diagrams and exploits their dual representation. Our scheme implements exact phase space factorization, handles final state as well as initial state singularities and is suitable for both massless and massive particles.

Dalitz analyses are introduced as the method for studying hadronic decays. An accurate description of hadron final states is critical not only to an understanding of the strong coupling regime of QCD, but also to the precision extraction of CKM matrix elements. The relation of such final state interactions to scattering processes is discussed.

This is a summary of theoretical plenary contributions to the biennial hadron physics conference Meson2006, which was the ninth in this series. The topics covered in the meeting include low energy pion-pion and pion-nucleon interactions, photoproduction and hadronic production of light mesons and baryons, in-medium effects, recent developments in charmed mesons, charmonia and B mesons, the status of exotica, and some related topics such as final state interactions. In this contribution we review and summarize the plenary talks presented by theorists at the meeting, and emphasize some of the main points of their presentations. Where appropriate we will add brief comments on some aspects of QCD spectroscopy. Finally, following tradition, we conclude with a new Feynman story.

In this research, the hadronic decay of [Formula: see text] is analyzed by using "QCD factorization" (QCDF) method and final state interaction (FSI). First, the [Formula: see text] decay is calculated via QCDF method and only the annihilation graphs exist in that method. Then, FSI is considered to solve the [Formula: see text] decay as a sizable correction and the D+*K0, D0*K+ and [Formula: see text] via the exchange of [Formula: see text], K-(*) and [Formula: see text] mesons are chosen for the intermediate states. To estimate the intermediate states amplitudes, QCDF method is again used. These amplitudes are used in the absorptive part of the diagrams. The experimental branching ratio of [Formula: see text] decay is less than 1.9×10-6 and our results according to QCDF method and FSI effects are 0.16×10-6 and 1.86×10-6, respectively.

We have searched for prompt heavy quarkonia and Bc mesons in 3 × 106 hadronic Z0 decays recorded with the DELPHI detector at LEP. No signal was observed in any of these modes. We achieved the highest sensitivities for gluon fragmentation into J/ψ and for semileptonic [Formula: see text] decays, yielding branching ratio upper limits of [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] @ 90% CL, respectively. We found the first evidence for radially excited B mesons, by observing a signal in the B(*)π+ π- final state at Q = m(B(*) π+π-) - m(B(*)) - 2m(π) = 301 ± 4 ± 10 MeV.

The interaction of non-relativistic nucleons with relativistic electrons is expressed by the Hamiltonian expanded in a power series of the inverse nucleon mass keeping interaction terms up to second order in the coupling constant e and retaining up through terms of order M-3. The effective Hamiltonian, describing the interaction of the electron wave distorted by the nucleus with the nucleon is obtained. This Hamiltonian describes the distortion of electron waves and allows one to calculate its effect. Using this Hamiltonian for the description of (e,e′p) and (e,e′NN) reactions for medium and heavy nuclei, the off-shell transition matrix elements can be calculated.

We propose a new method to extract the CKM phase angle γ(≡ φ3) from the isospin analysis in B → Kπ decays only. Unlike previously proposed methods, we do not employ flavor SU (3) symmetry, so that this method is free from the hadronic uncertainty coming from the SU (3) breaking effect. Neither we adopt any Dalitz-plot analysis, which may involve multiple strong phases and large final state interactions. Since no theoretical assumption, except the isospin relations, is imposed on B → Kπ decays, this method will work well, regardless of possible new physics effects unless the isospin relations do not hold. Since the mixing induced CP asymmetry SKSπ0 plays a crucial role in this method, more precise measurement on SKSπ0 in future experiments will be greatly helpful to extract γ accurately. Using current experimental data for B → Kπ including SKSπ0, we extract γ within [Formula: see text] or [Formula: see text].

We have performed self-consistent field (SCF) calculations of the electronic structure of GaAs/Ga 1-x Al x As superlattices with parabolic potential profile within the effective mass theory. We have calculated the optical transition matrix elements involving transitions from the hole states to the electron states, and we have also computed the oscillator strength matrix elements for the transitions among the electron states.
