The hidden charm decay of Y(4140) by the rescattering mechanism
Abstract Assuming that Y ( 4140 ) is the second radial excitation of the P-wave charmonium χ c J ″ ( J = 0 , 1 ), the hidden charm decay mode of Y ( 4140 ) is calculated in terms of the rescattering mechanism. Our numerical results show that the upper limit of the branching ratio of the hidden charm decay Y ( 4140 ) → J / ψ ϕ is on the order of 10 − 4 – 10 − 3 for both of the charmonium assumptions for Y ( 4140 ) , which disfavors the large hidden charm decay pattern indicated by the CDF experiment. It seems to reveal that the pure second radial excitation of the P-wave charmonium χ c J ″ ( J = 0 , 1 ) is problematic.

Does the enhancement observed in $\gamma\gamma\to D\bar{D}$ contain two P-wave higher charmonia?
We solve a new puzzle raised by the observation of an enhancement structure Z(3930) in $\gamma\gamma\to D\bar{D}$. If categorizing Z(3930) as χc2(2P), as suggested by Belle and BaBar, we must explain why χc0(2P) dominantly decaying into $D\bar{D}$ is missing in the $D\bar{D}$ invariant mass spectrum. In this work, we propose that the Z(3930) enhancement structure may contain two P-wave higher charmonia χc0(2P) and χc2(2P). We show that this assumption is supported by our analysis of the $D\bar{D}$ invariant mass spectrum and cosθ∗ distribution of $\gamma\gamma\to D\bar{D}$. This observation would not only provide valuable information of two P-wave higher charmonia χc0(2P) and χc2(2P), but also serve as the crucial test of our novel proposal to the observed enhancement structure Z(3930), especially at the forthcoming BelleII and the approved SuperB.

Mixing of Pentaquark and Molecular States
There are experimental evidences for the existence of narrow states Θ+ and Θc with the same quantum numbers of uudds̄ and uuddc̄ pentaquarks and also NK(∗) and ND(∗) molecular states. Their masses deviate from many theoretical estimates of the pure pentaquark and molecular states. In this work we study the possibility that the observed Θ+ and Θc are mixtures of pure pentaquark and molecular states. The mixing parameters are in general related to non-perturbative QCD which are not calculable at present. We determine them by fitting data from known states and then generalize the mechanism to Θb to predict its mass and width. The mixing mechanism can also naturally explain the narrow width for Θ+ and Θc through destructive interferences, even if the pure pentaquark and molecular states have much larger decay widths. We also briefly discuss the properties of the partner eigenstates of Θ+ and Θc and the possibility of experimentally observe them. Moreover, probable consequences of multi-state mixing are also addressed.

A possible global group structure for exotic states
Based on the fact that the long expected pentaquark which possesses the exotic quantum numbers of $$B=1$$B=1 and $$S=1$$S=1 was not experimentally found, although exotic states of $$XYZ$$XYZ have been observed recently, we conjecture that the heavy flavors may play an important role in stabilizing the hadronic structures beyond the traditional $$q\bar{q}$$qq¯ and $$qqq$$qqq composites.

Some properties of the newly observed X(1835) state at BES
Recently the BES collaboration has announced the observation of a resonant state in the π+π-η’ spectrum in J/ψ→γπ+π-η’ decay. Fitting the data with a 0-+ state, the mass is determined to be 1833.7 MeV with 7.7σ statistic significance. This state is consistent with the one extracted from previously reported pp̄ threshold enhancement data in J/ψ→γpp̄. We study the properties of this state using QCD anomaly and QCD sum rules, assuming X(1835) to be a pseudoscalar, and we show that it is consistent with the data. We find that this state has a sizeable matrix element $\langle0|G\widetilde{G}|G_{\text{p}}\rangle$, leading to branching ratios of (2.61–7.37)×10-3 and (2.21–10.61)×10-2 for J/ψ→γGp and for Gp→π+π-η′, respectively. Combining the calculated branching ratio of J/ψ→γGp and data on threshold enhancement in J/ψ→γpp̄, we determine the coupling for the Gp–p–p̄ interaction. We finally study the branching ratios of the other J/ψ→γ+three mesons decay modes. We find that J/ψ→γGp→γ(π+π-η,KKπ0) can provide useful tests for the mechanism proposed.

Effects of hadronic loops on the direct CP violation of $B_c$
It is well-known that the final state interaction plays an important role in the decays of B meson. The contribution of the final state interaction, which is supposed to be long-distance effects, to the concerned processes can interfere with that of the short-distance effects produced via the tree and/or loop diagrams at quark-gluon level. The interference may provide a source for the direct CP violation A{sub CP} in the process B{sub c}{sup +}{yields}D{sup 0}{pi}{sup +}. We find that a typical value of A{sub CP} when the final state interaction effect is taken into account can be about -22% which is different from that without the final state interaction effect. Therefore, when we extract information on CP violation from the data which will be available at the Large Hadron Collider beauty experiment (LHCb) and the new experiments in B factories, the contribution from the final state interaction must be included. This study may be crucial for searching new physics in the future.

IDV observations & study of the quasar 0917+624
We carried out intra-day variability (IDV) observations from August 2005 to January 2010 with the Urumqi 25 m radio telescope for a dozen IDV sources including the quasar 0917+624. This target exhibited pronounced centimeter-band, intra-day variability during the 1980s–1990s, but its strong IDV phase ceased in 2000. The source showed no IDV in the majority of the Urumqi observing sessions, although weak IDV activity was detected in some. Multifrequency UMRAO data for 0917+624 show that the spectral index is steeper during the weak and non-IDV phases than during the strong IDV phase, supporting the idea that the size of the scintillating component may be enlarged in the weak/non IDV phases.

Improved Estimates of The $B_{(s)}\to V V$ Decays in Perturbative QCD Approach
We reexamine the branching ratios, $CP$-asymmetries, and other observables in a large number of $B_q\to VV(q=u,d,s)$ decays in the perturbative QCD (PQCD) approach, where $V$ denotes a light vector meson $(\rho, K^*, \omega, \phi)$. The essential difference between this work and the earlier similar works is of parametric origin and in the estimates of the power corrections related to the ratio $r_i^2=m_{V_i}^2/m_B^2(i=2,3)$ ($m_V$ and $m_B$ denote the masses of the vector and $B$ meson, respectively). In particular, we use up-to-date distribution amplitudes for the final state mesons and keep the terms proportional to the ratio $r_i^2$ in our calculations. Our updated calculations are in agreement with the experimental data, except for a limited number of decays which we discuss. We emphasize that the penguin annihilation and the hard-scattering emission contributions are essential to understand the polarization anomaly, such as in the $B\to \phi K^*$ and $B_s \to \phi\phi$ decay modes. We also compare our results with those obtained in the QCD factorization (QCDF) approach and comment on the similarities and differences, which can be used to discriminate between these approaches in future experiments.

SCET approach to top quark decay
Abstract In this work we study the QCD corrections to the top quark doubly decay rate with a detected B hadron containing a b quark. We focus on the regime among which the emitted W boson nearly carries its maximum energy. The tool that we use here is the soft-collinear effective theory (SCET). The factorization theorem based on SCET indicates a novel fragmenting jet function. We calculate this function to next-to-leading order in α s . Large logarithms due to several well separated scales are summed up using the renormalization group equation (RGE). Finally we reach an analytic formula for the distribution which could easily be generalized to other heavy hadron decays.

The second Chern class in Spinning System
Topological property in a spinning system should be directly associated with its wavefunction. A complete decomposition formula of SU(2) gauge potential in terms of spinning wavefunction is established rigorously. Based on the $\phi $-mapping theory and this formula, one proves that the second Chern class is inherent in the spinning system. It is showed that this topological invariant is only determined by the Hopf index and Brouwer degree of the spinning wavefunction.

Radio Variability of First 3-Month Fermi Blazars at 5 GHz: Affected by Interstellar Scintillation?
Blazars from the first-three-months Fermi-AGN list were observed with the Urumqi 25-m radio telescope at 5 GHz in IDV (Intra-Day Variability) mode and inter-month observation mode. A significant correlation between the flux density at 5 GHz and the γ-ray intensity for the Fermi-LAT detected blazars is seen. There is a higher IDV detection rate in Fermi detected blazars than those reported for other samples. Stronger variability appears at lower galactic latitudes; IDV appears to be stronger in weaker sources, indicating that the variability is affected by interstellar scintillation.
