Weak semileptonic decays of heavy baryons containing two heavy quarks
In the heavy quark limit a heavy baryon which contains two heavy quarks is believed to be composed of a heavy diquark and a light quark. Based on this picture, we evaluate the weak semileptonic decay rates of such baryons. The transition form factors between two heavy baryons are associated with those between two heavy mesons by applying superflavor symmetry. The effective vertices of the W boson and two heavy diquarks are obtained in terms of the Bethe-Salpeter equation. Numerical predictions on these semileptonic decay widths are presented and they will be tested in future experiments. [S0556-2821(98)00721-8].

A dynamical mechanism for the hairpin diagram
SummaryBased on the nonvalence quark-antiquark and gluon constituent structure of mesons we give a reasonable dynamical mechanism which can induce the hairpin diagram without violating the well-observed OZI rule. We calculate the hairpin amplitudes of
$$D^0 \to \overline K ^0 \eta $$
 and
$$\overline K ^0 \eta '$$
 normalized by
$$D^0 \to \overline K ^0 \pi ^0 $$
 and have found that the hairpin diagram can give rise to substantial contributions to the decays where a meson with aSU(3) flavor singlet component is involved in the final state. In this scenario, we also obtain the branching ratio of
$$D^0 \to \overline K ^0 \phi $$
 as 0.55% in comparison with the experimental data of 0.83%.

Strong decays of heavy baryons in the Bethe-Salpeter formalism
In this paper we study the properties of diquarks (composed of u and/or d quarks) in the Bethe-Salpeter (BS) formalism under the covariant instantaneous approximation. We calculate their BS wave functions and study their effective interaction with the pion. Using the effective coupling constant among the diquarks and the pion, in the heavy quark limit m{sub Q}{yields}{infinity}, we calculate the decay widths of {sigma}{sub Q}{sup (*)} (Q=c, b) in the BS formalism under the covariant instantaneous approximation and then give predictions of the decay widths {gamma}({sigma}{sub b}{sup (*)}{yields}{lambda}{sub b}+{pi})

CP violation in $B^{\pm} \rightarrow \pi^{\pm}\pi^{+}\pi^{-}$ in the region with low invariant mass of one $\pi^{+}\pi^{-}$ pair
Recently, the large CP asymmetries in B → πππ decays were found by the LHCb Collaboration to localize in the region m π+π− < 0.4 GeV. We find such large localized CP asymmetries may be due to the interference between a light scalar and ρ(770) intermediate resonances. Consequently, we argue that the distribution of CP asymmetries in the Dalitz plots of three-body B decays could be very helpful for identifying the presence of the scalar resonance.

Supernova Neutrinos Detection On Earth
In this paper, we first discuss the detection of supernova neutrino on Earth. Then we propose a possible method to acquire information about θ13 smaller than 1.5 ◦ by detecting the ratio of the event numbers of different flavor supernova neutrinos. Such an sensitivity cannot yet be achieved by the Daya Bay reactor neutrino experiment.

$CP$ violation for $B^{0}\rightarrow \rho^{0}(\omega)\rho^{0}(\omega) \rightarrow \pi^+\pi^-\pi^+\pi^-$ in QCD factorization
In the QCD factorization (QCDF) approach we study the direct $CP$ violation in $\bar{B}^{0}\rightarrow\rho^0(\omega)\rho^0(\omega)\rightarrow\pi^+\pi^-\pi^+\pi^-$ via the $\rho-\omega$ mixing mechanism. We find that the $CP$ violation can be enhanced by double $\rho-\omega$ mixing when the masses of the $\pi^+\pi^-$ pairs are in the vicinity of the $\omega$ resonance, and the maximum $CP$ violation can reach 28{\%}. We also compare the results from the naive factorization and the QCD factorization.

Coherent multiple scattering effect in DIS
We present a QCD calculation of the coherent multiple scattering effect on single hadron production in semi-inclusive lepton-nucleus deep inelastic scattering (DIS). We show that the destructive interference of coherent multiple scattering leads to suppression in hadron productions. The suppression is similar to the expectations of energy loss calculations. We compare our calculation with experimental data.

Gluon minijet production in nuclear collisions at high energies
We show explicitly that the leading soft gluon p{sub T} distribution, predicted by Kovner, McLerran, and Weigert after solving classical Yang-Mills equations, can be understood in terms of conventional QCD perturbation theory. We also demonstrate that the key logarithm in their result represents the logarithm in DGLAP evolution equations. {copyright} {ital 1999} {ital The American Physical Society}

Jet broadening in deeply inelastic scattering
In deeply inelastic lepton-nucleus scattering (DIS), the average jet transverse momentum is broadened because of the multiple scattering in the nuclear medium. The size of jet broadening is proportional to the multi-parton correlation functions inside nuclei. We show that at leading order, jet broadening in DIS and nulcear enhancement in di-jet momentum imbalance and Drell-Yan $ $ share the same four-parton correlation functions. We argue that jet broadening in DIS provide an indenpendent measurement of the four-parton correlation functions and a test of QCD treatment of multiple scattering.

Nuclear dependence in the Drell-Yan transverse momentum distribution
We calculate the nuclear enhancement in the Drell-Yan transverse momentum distribution in hadron-nucleus collisions. In terms of the multiple scattering picture, we compute the contributions from double scattering. Applying the generalized factorization theorem, we express the nuclear enhancement in terms of twist-4 nuclear parton correlation functions. Using the known information on these twist-4 parton correlation functions, we estimate the nuclear enhancement for Drell-Yan pairs in the large q{sub T} region. We also discuss the source of nuclear suppression in the small q{sub T} region. {copyright} {ital 1998} {ital The American Physical Society}
