High Energy String Collisions in a Compact Space
Paul F. Mende
When high energy strings scatter at fixed angle, their amplitudes characteristically fall off exponentially with energy, . We show that in a c…
Form Factors in the Heavy Quark and Chiral Limit: Pole dominance in
Benjamin Grinstein, Paul F. Mende
It is shown that the form factors in the semileptonic decay of ground state heavy mesons to light pseudoscalar mesons are dominated by the vector meson pole at all momentum transfe…
Exact Heavy to Light Meson Form Factors in the Combined Heavy Quark, Large and Chiral Limits
Benjamin Grinstein, Paul F. Mende
We demonstrate that the form factors of local operators between a heavy meson state (like the~) and a light pseudoscalar state (like the pion) are given exactly by a single pole…
Semiclassical Tunneling in 1+1 Dimensional String Theory
Julian Lee, Paul F. Mende
We describe time-dependent tunneling of massless particles in 1+1 dimensional string field theory. Polchinski's description of the classical solutions in terms of the Fermi sea is…
On Constraints for Heavy-Meson Form Factors
Benjamin Grinstein, Paul F. Mende
We examine the recent work of de Rafael and Taron where model-independent bounds on the Isgur-Wise function are presented. We first argue that the bounds cannot hold in as much gen…
String Theory at Short Distance and the Principle of Equivalence
Paul F. Mende
Point particles fall freely along geodesics; strings do not. In string theory all probes of spacetime structure, including photons, are extended objects and therefore always subjec…
