On the eta(b) => J/psi J/psi decay

Pietro Santorelli

It has been argued long ago that eta(b) could be observed through the eta(b) => J/psi(=> mu+ mu-) J/psi(=> mu+ mu-) decay chain. Recent calculations indicate that the width of eta(…

Inclusive Measure of |V_ub| with the Analytic Coupling Model

Ugo Aglietti, Francesca Di Lodovico, Giancarlo Ferrera +1

By analyzing B -> X_u l nu_l spectra with a model based on soft-gluon resummation and an analytic time-like QCD coupling, we obtain |V_ub| = (3.76 +-0.13 +- 0.22)*10^(-3), where th…

Physics at a future Neutrino Factory and super-beam facility

The ISS Physics Working Group

The conclusions of the Physics Working Group of the international scoping study of a future Neutrino Factory and super-beam facility (the ISS) are presented. The ISS was carried by…

Leptogenesis within a generalized quark-lepton symmetry

F. Buccella, D. Falcone, L. Oliver

Quark-lepton symmetry has been shown to be inconsistent with baryogenesis via leptogenesis in natural schemes of the see-saw mechanism. Within the phenomenological approach of text…

Threshold Resummation in B --> X_c l nu_l Decays

Ugo Aglietti, Leonardo Di Giustino, Giancarlo Ferrera +3

We compute the QCD form factor resumming threshold logarithms in B --> X_c + l + nu_l decays to next-to-leading logarithmic approximation. We present an interpolation formula inclu…

Entanglement in neutrino oscillations

Massimo Blasone, Fabio Dell'Anno, Silvio De Siena +1

Flavor oscillations in elementary particle physics are related to multi-mode entanglement of single-particle states. We show that mode entanglement can be expressed in terms of fla…

A new, very massive modular Liquid Argon Imaging Chamber to detect low energy off-axis neutrinos from the CNGS beam. (Project MODULAr)

B. Baibussinov, M. Baldo Ceolin, G. Battistoni +33

The paper is considering an opportunity for the CERN/GranSasso (CNGS) neutrino complex, concurrent time-wise with T2K and NOvA, to search for theta_13 oscillations and CP violation…

Sterile neutrinos at the CNGS

A. Donini, M. Maltoni, D. Meloni +2

We study the potential of the CNGS beam in constraining the parameter space of a model with one sterile neutrino separated from three active ones by an $\mathcal{O}(\eVq)$ mass-squ…

QCD corrections to J/psi and Upsilon production at hadron colliders

J. Campbell, F. Maltoni, F. Tramontano

We calculate the cross section for hadroproduction of a pair of heavy quarks in a 3S1 color-singlet state at next-to-leading order in QCD. This corresponds to the leading contribut…

Neutrino hierarchy from CP-blind observables with high density magnetized detectors

A. Donini, E. Fernandez-Martinez, P. Migliozzi +5

High density magnetized detectors are well suited to exploit the outstanding purity and intensities of novel neutrino sources like Neutrino Factories and Beta Beams. They can also…

Probing Low Energy Neutrino Backgrounds with Neutrino Capture on Beta Decaying Nuclei

Alfredo G. Cocco, Gianpiero Mangano, Marcello Messina

We study the interaction of low energy neutrinos on nuclei that spontaneously undergo beta decay showing that the product of the cross section times neutrino velocity takes values…

Strangeness asymmetry of the nucleon in the statistical parton model

Claude Bourrely, Franco Buccella, Jacques Soffer

We extend to the strange quarks and antiquarks, the statistical approach of parton distributions and we calculate the strange quark asymmetry . We find that the asymmetry…

Form factor in K+ --> pi+ pi0 gamma: interference versus direct emission

Luigi Cappiello, Giancarlo D'Ambrosio

We analyze the effect of a form factor in the magnetic contribution to K+ --> pi+ pi0 gamma. We emphasize how this can show up experimentally: in particular we try to explore the d…

A spinorial perspective on massless photons

Giampiero Esposito

We exploit the fact that, in Minkowski space-time, gamma matrices are possibly more fundamental than the metric to describe how gauge invariance at perturbative level enforces a La…
