To appear in the Progress of Theoretical Physics special issue commemorating Kobayashi and Maskawa Nobel prize \\ In recent years, the CKM picture of flavor and CP violation has been confirmed, mainly due to B decay data. Yet, it is likely that there are small corrections to this picture. We expect to find new physics not much above the weak scale. This new physics could modify flavor changing processes compared to their SM expectations. Much larger B decay data sets, which are expected from LHCb and super-$B$-factories, will be used to search for these deviations with much improved sensitivity. The combination of low and high energy data will be particularly useful to probe the structure of new physics. \\ ( http://arxiv.org/abs/0904.4262 , 474kb) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ \\ arXiv:0904.4344 Date: Tue, 28 Apr 2009 09:58:05 GMT (43kb) Title: Properties of the rho and sigma Mesons from Unitary Chiral Dynamics Authors: J. Nieves (Valencia U., IFIC), E. Ruiz Arriola (Granada U.) Categories: hep-ph Comments: 11 pages, 1 figure \\ The chiral limit of the rho and sigma masses and widths is discussed. We work within the inverse amplitude method to one loop in SU(2) ChPT and analyze the consequences that all chiral logarithms cancel out in the rho-channel, while they do not cancel for the sigma case, and how they strongly influence the properties of this latter resonance. Our results confirm and explain the different behavior of the sigma and rho poles for NC not far from 3, but we extend the analysis to very large NC, where the behavior of these two resonances is re-analyzed. We note that the rather natural requirement of consistency between resonance saturation and unitarization imposes useful constraints. By looking only at the rho-channel, and within the single resonance approximation, we find that the masses of the first vector and scalar meson nonets, invoked in the single resonance approximation, turn out to be degenerated in the large NC limit. On the contrary we show that, for sufficiently large NC, the scalar meson evolution lies beyond the applicability reach of the one-loop inverse amplitude method and if the scalar channel is also incorporated in the analysis, it may lead, in some cases, to phenomenologically inconsistent results. \\ ( http://arxiv.org/abs/0904.4344 , 43kb) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ \\ arXiv:0904.4346 Date: Tue, 28 Apr 2009 09:38:05 GMT (35kb) Title: Mossbauer neutrinos in quantum mechanics and quantum field theory Authors: Joachim Kopp Categories: hep-ph Comments: LaTeX, 16 pages, 1 figure \\ We demonstrate the correspondence between quantum mechanical and quantum field theoretical descriptions of Mossbauer neutrino oscillations. First, we compute the combined rate $\Gamma$ of Mossbauer neutrino emission, propagation, and detection in quantum field theory, treating the neutrino as an internal line of a tree level Feynman diagram. We include explicitly the effect of homogeneous line broadening due to fluctuating electromagnetic fields in the source and detector crystals and show that the resulting formula for $\Gamma$ is identical to the one obtained previously (Akhmedov et al., arXiv:0802.2513) for the case of inhomogeneous line broadening. We then proceed to a quantum mechanical treatment of Mossbauer neutrinos and show that the oscillation, coherence and resonance terms from the field theoretical result can be reproduced if the neutrino is described as a superposition of Lorentz-shaped wave packet with appropriately chosen energies and widths. On the other hand, the emission rate and the detection cross section, including localization and Lamb-Mossbauer terms, cannot be predicted in quantum mechanics and have to be put in by hand. \\ ( http://arxiv.org/abs/0904.4346 , 35kb) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ \\ arXiv:0904.4351 Date: Tue, 28 Apr 2009 09:44:27 GMT (325kb) Title: The X(4260) and possible confirmation of psi(3D), psi(5S), psi(4D), psi(6S) and psi(5D) in J/psi pi+ pi- Authors: Eef van Beveren and George Rupp Categories: hep-ph Comments: 9 pages plain LaTeX and 7 figures \\ Data on e+ e- --> J/psi pi+ pi- and the X(4260) enhancement by the BABAR collaboration [ arXiv:hep-ex/0506081, arXiv:0808.1543 ] are analysed by modelling missing signals that should be present in the complete production amplitude with vector quantum numbers in the charmonium region. Thus, it is shown that the data contain evidence for the existence of the psi(5S), the psi(4D), the psi(6S) and the psi(5D) c-cbar vector states, and furthermore a clear indication for the mass and width of the psi(3D). Moreover, it is shown that signs of the psi(3S), psi(2D) and psi(4S) can be observed in the same data. Finally, it is argued that the X(4260) enhancement is not a resonance, but rather a phenomenon connected with the opening of the D(s)(*)-Dbar(s)(*) threshold and the coupling to the J/psi f(0)(980) channel. \\ ( http://arxiv.org/abs/0904.4351 , 325kb) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ \\ arXiv:0904.4352 Date: Tue, 28 Apr 2009 09:45:38 GMT (88kb) Title: Electric and anomalous magnetic dipole moments of the muon in the MSSM Authors: Kingman Cheung, Otto C. W. Kong, and Jae Sik Lee Categories: hep-ph Comments: 25 pages, 10 figures Report-no: NCU-HEP-k033 \\ We study the electric dipole moment (EDM) and the anomalous magnetic dipole moment (MDM) of the muon in the CP-violating Minimal Supersymmetric extension of the Standard Model (MSSM). We take into account the contributions from the chargino- and neutralino-mediated one-loop graphs and the dominant two-loop Higgs-mediated Barr-Zee diagrams. We improve earlier calculations by incorporating CP-violating Higgs-boson mixing effects and the resummed threshold corrections to the Yukawa couplings of the charged leptons as well as that of the bottom quark. The analytic correlation between the muon EDM and MDM is explicitly presented at one- and two-loop levels and, through several numerical examples, we illustrate its dependence on the source of the dominant contributions. We have implemented the analytic expressions for the muon EDM and MDM in an updated version of the public code CPsuperH2.0. \\ ( http://arxiv.org/abs/0904.4352 , 88kb) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ \\ arXiv:0904.4369 Date: Tue, 28 Apr 2009 11:37:16 GMT (67kb) Title: Scalar dark matter-Higgs coupling in the case of electroweak symmetry breaking driven by unparticle Authors: E. Iltan Categories: hep-ph Comments: 12 pages, 4 figures \\ We study the possible annihilation cross section of scalar dark matter and its coupling \lambda_D to the standard model Higgs in the case of the electroweak symmetry breaking driven by unparticle. Here the annihilation process occurs with the help of three intermediate scalars which appear after the mixing. By respecting the annihilation rate which is compatible with the current relic density we predict the tree level coupling \lambda_D. We observe that the unparticle scaling d_u plays a considerable role on the annihilation process and, therefore, on the coupling \lambda_D. \\ ( http://arxiv.org/abs/0904.4369 , 67kb) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ \\ arXiv:0904.4375 Date: Tue, 28 Apr 2009 12:13:29 GMT (490kb) Title: General Analysis of $B$ Meson Decay into Two Fermions Authors: Akihiro Matsuzaki Categories: hep-ph Comments: 17 pages, 11 figures Report-no: RUP-09-2 \\ We study how to measure the current structure of the process that $B$ meson decays into two unstable fermions $\bar f_a$ and $f_b$ in model independent way. We use the momentum distributions of subsequent decay products affected by $\bar f_a f_b$ spin correlation. We have found the following: (1) We can extract the absolute values of two effective coupling constants from the opening angle between the particles decayed from $\bar f_a$ and $f_b$ (2) We can extract the real part of the interference from the energy distribution of one of the decayed particles from $\bar f_a$ or $f_b$. (3) No new information can be obtained from the energy distribution of two decayed particles from $\bar f_a$ and $f_b$. (4) The imaginary part of interference is extracted from the azimuthal angle asymmetry of final-state decay products. (5) If only one of two fermions is unstable, we can extract the real part of interference from each of the energy distribution and opening angle distribution. We show several simple examples. \\ ( http://arxiv.org/abs/0904.4375 , 490kb) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ \\ arXiv:0904.4402 Date: Tue, 28 Apr 2009 14:31:54 GMT (172kb) Title: Next-to-leading order QCD corrections to hadron+jet production in pp collisions at RHIC Authors: Daniel de Florian Categories: hep-ph Comments: 16 pages, 11 Figures included \\ We compute the next-to-leading order QCD corrections to the spin-independent and spin-dependent cross-sections for the production of a single-hadron accompanied by an opposite jet in hadronic collisions. This process is being studied experimentally at RHIC, providing a new tool to unveil the polarized gluon distribution Delta g. We perform a detailed analysis of the phenomenological impact of the observable at NLO accuracy and show that the preliminary data by the STAR collaboration confirms the idea of a small gluon polarization in the 0.05
