Brane Inflation

Gia Dvali, S. -H. Henry Tye

We present a novel inflationary scenario in theories with low scale (TeV) quantum gravity, in which the standard model particles are localized on the branes whereas gravity propaga…

Accuracy of Calculations Involving Vacuum-Polarization Diagrams: Muonic Hydrogen Lamb Shift and Muon

T. Kinoshita, M. Nio

The contribution of the single electron-loop vacuum-polarization diagrams to the Lamb shift of the muonic hydrogen has been evaluated recently by two independent methods. One…

Sixth-Order Vacuum-Polarization Contribution to the Lamb Shift of the Muonic Hydrogen

T. Kinoshita, M. Nio

The sixth-order electron-loop vacuum-polarization contribution to the Lamb shift of the muonic hydrogen ( bound state) has been evaluated numerical…

Weak phases and from , or and decays

Michael Gronau, Dan Pirjol

An improved flavor SU(3) method is presented for determining the weak angle of the unitarity triangle using decay rates for and (o…

Model-independent electroweak penguins in B decays to two pseudoscalars

Michael Gronau, Dan Pirjol, Tung-Mow Yan

We study the effects of electroweak penguin (EWP) amplitudes in meson decays into two charmless pseudoscalars in the approximation of retaining only the dominant EWP operators…

Weak Nonleptonic Omega Decay in Chiral Perturbation Theory

David A. Egolf, Ilarion V. Melnikov, Roxanne P. Springer

We calculate the weak nonleptonic decay of the Omega^- baryon to octet final states in heavy baryon chiral perturbation theory (HBChPT). We include the one-loop leading logarithmic…

Hybrid Baryons in Large-N_c QCD

Chi-Keung Chow, Dan Pirjol, Tung-Mow Yan

We study the properties and couplings of hybrid baryons in the large- expansion. These are color-neutral baryon states which contain in addition to quarks also one const…
