bb-fragmentation and Bπ correlations
نویسنده
چکیده
We show that experimental data are in very good agreement with predictions from the string fragmentation model by Bowler and Morris. We present a physical interpretation and discuss the relation to results obtained from Perturbative QCD and Local Hadron Parton Duality (LPHD). We also present implications for Bπ correlations and the possibility to use these as a tag to study CP violation in B decays.

Measurement of the Gluon Fragmentation Function in
The longitudinal, transverse and asymmetric components of the fragmentation function are measured from the inclusive hadrons produced in e + e ? collisions at LEP. As in the deep inelastic scattering, this provides important tests of QCD predictions. Using the lifetime tag procedure it is possible to select Z 0 ! bb events and to compare the fragmentation functions in bb and light quarks events...
متن کاملBasement membrane and vascular remodelling in smokers and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease: a cross-sectional study
BACKGROUND Little is known about airway remodelling in bronchial biopsies (BB) in smokers and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). We conducted an initial pilot study comparing BB from COPD patients with nonsmoking controls. This pilot study suggested the presence of reticular basement membrane (Rbm) fragmentation and altered vessel distribution in COPD. METHODS To determine whether ...
متن کاملBπ Couplings in Qcd
We calculate the D∗Dπ and B∗Bπ couplings using QCD sum rules on the lightcone. In this approach, the large-distance dynamics is incorporated in a set of pion wave functions. We take into account two-particle and three-particle wave functions of twist 2, 3 and 4. The resulting values of the coupling constants are gD∗Dπ = 12.5 ± 1 and gB∗Bπ = 29± 3. From this we predict the partial width Γ(D∗+ → ...
متن کاملBπ form factors from QCD Sum Rules
The H * Hπ form factor for H = B and D mesons is evaluated in a QCD sum rule calculation. We study the Borel sum rule for the three point function of two pseudoscalar and one vector meson currents up to order four in the operator product expansion. The double Borel transform is performed with respect to the heavy meson momenta. We discuss the momentum dependence of the form factors and two diff...
متن کاملGromov-Lawson-Rosenberg conjecture
Doing surgery on the 5-torus, we construct a 5-dimensional closed spin-manifold M with π1(M) ∼= Z ×Z/3, so that the index invariant in the KO-theory of the reduced C-algebra of π1(M) is zero. Then we use the theory of minimal surfaces of Schoen/Yau to show that this manifolds cannot carry a metric of positive scalar curvature. The existence of such a metric is predicted by the (unstable) Gromov...
