M. Ablikim, et al
2018, 42(2): 023001. doi: 10.1088/1674-1137/42/2/023001
Abstract:
The numbers of ψ(3686) events accumulated by the BESⅢ detector for the data taken during 2009 and 2012 are determined to be (107.0±0.8)×106 and (341.1±2.1)×106, respectively, by counting inclusive hadronic events, where the uncertainties are systemat...
Limits on light WIMPs with a 1 kg-scale germanium detector at 160 eVee physics threshold at the China Jinping Underground Laboratory
Li-Tao Yang, et al
2018, 42(2): 023002. doi: 10.1088/1674-1137/42/2/023002
Abstract:
We report results of a search for light weakly interacting massive particle (WIMP) dark matter from the CDEX-1 experiment at the China Jinping Underground Laboratory (CJPL). Constraints on WIMP-nucleon spin-independent (SI) and spin-dependent (SD) co...
Chiral crossover transition in a finite volume
Chao Shi, Wenbao Jia, An Sun, Liping Zhang, Hongshi Zong
2018, 42(2): 023101. doi: 10.1088/1674-1137/42/2/023101
Abstract:
Finite volume effects on the chiral crossover transition of strong interactions at finite temperature are studied by solving the quark gap equation within a cubic volume of finite size L. With the anti-periodic boundary condition, our calculation sho...
Phenomenological aspects of possible vacua of a neutrino flavor model
Takuya Morozumi, Hideaki Okane, Hiroki Sakamoto, Yusuke Shimizu, Kenta Takagi, Hiroyuki Umeeda
2018, 42(2): 023102. doi: 10.1088/1674-1137/42/2/023102
Abstract:
We discuss a supersymmetric model with discrete flavor symmetry A4×Z3. The additional scalar fields which contribute masses of leptons in the Yukawa terms are introduced in this model. We analyze their scalar potential and find that they have various...
Testing the electroweak phase transition in scalar extension models at lepton colliders
Qing-Hong Cao, Fa-Peng Huang, Ke-Pan Xie, Xinmin Zhang
2018, 42(2): 023103. doi: 10.1088/1674-1137/42/2/023103
Abstract:
We study the electroweak phase transition in three scalar extension models beyond the Standard Model. Assuming new scalars are decoupled at some heavy scale, we use the covariant derivative expansion method to derive all of the dimension-6 effective ...
Constraining qqtt operators from four-top production: a case for enhanced EFT sensitivity
Cen Zhang
2018, 42(2): 023104. doi: 10.1088/1674-1137/42/2/023104
Abstract:
Recently, experimental collaborations have reported O(10) upper limits on the signal strength of four-top production at the LHC. Surprisingly, we find that the constraining power of four-top production on the qqtt type of operators is already competi...
Limiting majoron self-interactions from gravitational wave experiments
Andrea Addazi, Antonino Marcianò
2018, 42(2): 023105. doi: 10.1088/1674-1137/42/2/023105
Abstract:
We show how majoron models may be tested/limited in gravitational wave experiments. In particular, the majoron self-interaction potential may induce a first order phase transition, producing gravitational waves from bubble collisions. We dub such a n...
Exploratory study of possible resonances in heavy meson-heavy baryon coupled-channel interactions
Chao-Wei Shen, Deborah Rönchen, Ulf-G. Meißner, Bing-Song Zou
2018, 42(2): 023106. doi: 10.1088/1674-1137/42/2/023106
Abstract:
We use a unitary coupled-channel model to study the D Λc-D Σc interactions. In our calculation, SU(3) flavor symmetry is applied to determine the coupling constants. Several resonant and bound states with different spin and parity are dynamically gen...
Gravitational waves from dark first order phase transitions and dark photons
Andrea Addazi, Antonino Marcianò
2018, 42(2): 023107. doi: 10.1088/1674-1137/42/2/023107
Abstract:
Cold Dark Matter particles may interact with ordinary particles through a dark photon, which acquires a mass thanks to a spontaneous symmetry breaking mechanism. We discuss a dark photon model in which the scalar singlet associated to the spontaneous...
New model of kaon regeneration
V. I. Nazaruk
2018, 42(2): 023108. doi: 10.1088/1674-1137/42/2/023108
Abstract:
It is shown that in the standard model of KS0 regeneration a system of non-coupled equations of motion is used instead of the coupled ones. A model alternative to the standard one is proposed. A calculation performed by means of the diagram technique...
A data-driven approach to π0, η and η' single and double Dalitz decays
Rafel Escribano, Sergi González-Solís
2018, 42(2): 023109. doi: 10.1088/1674-1137/42/2/023109
Abstract:
The dilepton invariant mass spectra and integrated branching ratios of the single and double Dalitz decays P→l+l-γ and P→l+l-l+l- (P0, η, η'; l=e or μ) are predicted by means of a data-driven approach based on the use of rational approximants appli...
Finite-size behaviour of generalized susceptibilities in the whole phase plane of the Potts model
Xue Pan, Yanhua Zhang, Lizhu Chen, Mingmei Xu, Yuanfang Wu
2018, 42(2): 023110. doi: 10.1088/1674-1137/42/2/023110
Abstract:
We study the sign distribution of generalized magnetic susceptibilities in the temperature-external magnetic field plane using the three-dimensional three-state Potts model. We find that the sign of odd-order susceptibility is opposite in the symmetr...

Effects of mean-field and softening of equation of state on elliptic flow in Au+Au collisions at √sNN=5 GeV from the JAM model

2018, 42(2): 024001. doi: 10.1088/1674-1137/42/2/024001
Abstract:
We perform a systematic study of elliptic flow (v2) in Au+Au collisions at √sNN=5 GeV by using a microscopic transport model, JAM. The centrality, pseudorapidity, transverse momentum and beam energy dependence of v2 for charged as well as identified ...
Relativistic interpretation of the nature of the nuclear tensor force
Yao-Yao Zong, Bao-Yuan Sun
2018, 42(2): 024101. doi: 10.1088/1674-1137/42/2/024101
Abstract:
The spin-dependent nature of the nuclear tensor force is studied in detail within the relativistic Hartree-Fock approach. The relativistic formalism for the tensor force is supplemented with an additional Lorentz-invariant tensor formalism in the σ-s...
Ground-state properties of light kaonic nuclei signaling symmetry energy at high densities
Rongyao Yang, Sina Wei, Weizhou Jiang
2018, 42(2): 024102. doi: 10.1088/1674-1137/42/2/024102
Abstract:
A sensitive correlation between the ground-state properties of light kaonic nuclei and the symmetry energy at high densities is constructed under the framework of relativistic mean-field theory. Taking oxygen isotopes as an example, we see that a hig...

Massive neutron stars and Λ-hypernuclei in relativistic mean field models
Ting-Ting Sun, Cheng-Jun Xia, Shi-Sheng Zhang, M. S. Smith
2018, 42(2): 025101. doi: 10.1088/1674-1137/42/2/025101
Abstract:
Based on relativistic mean field (RMF) models, we study finite Λ-hypernuclei and massive neutron stars. The effective m N-m N interactions PK1 and TM1 are adopted, while the m N-Λ interactions are constrained by reproducing the binding energy of Λ-hy...
Searching for γ-ray emission from Reticulum Ⅱ by Fermi-LAT
Yi Zhao, Xiao-Jun Bi, Peng-Fei Yin, Xinmin Zhang
2018, 42(2): 025102. doi: 10.1088/1674-1137/42/2/025102
Abstract:
Recently, many new dwarf spheroidal satellites (dSphs) have been discovered by the Dark Energy Survey (DES). These dSphs are ideal candidates for probing for gamma-ray emissions from dark matter (DM) annihilation. However, no significant signature ha...
