Review of Particle Physics

Deposits of clastic carbonate-dominated (calciclastic) sedimentary slope systems in the rock record have been identified mostly as linearly-consistent carbonate apron deposits, even though most ancient clastic carbonate slope deposits fit the submarine fan systems better. Calciclastic submarine fans are consequently rarely described and are poorly understood. Subsequently, very little is known especially in mud-dominated calciclastic submarine fan systems. Presented in this study are a sedimentological core and petrographic characterisation of samples from eleven boreholes from the Lower Carboniferous of Bowland Basin (Northwest England) that reveals a >250 m thick calciturbidite complex deposited in a calciclastic submarine fan setting. Seven facies are recognised from core and thin section characterisation and are grouped into three carbonate turbidite sequences. They include: 1) Calciturbidites, comprising mostly of highto low-density, wavy-laminated bioclast-rich facies; 2) low-density densite mudstones which are characterised by planar laminated and unlaminated muddominated facies; and 3) Calcidebrites which are muddy or hyper-concentrated debrisflow deposits occurring as poorly-sorted, chaotic, mud-supported floatstones.

We have studied the three quark system in a relativized version of the quark potential model with chromodynamics. With parameters consistent with those of an analogous study of meson spectroscopy we obtain a successful description of the spectrum of baryons. The model naturally explains the apparent absence of spin‐orbit interactions in baryons.

Baryons in a relativized quark model with chromodynamics

This article reports world averages of measurements of b-hadron, c-hadron, and tau-lepton properties obtained by the Heavy Flavor Averaging Group (HFAG) using results available through the end of 2011. In some cases results available in the early part of 2012 are included. For the averaging, common input parameters used in the various analyses are adjusted (rescaled) to common values, and known correlations are taken into account. The averages include branching fractions, lifetimes, neutral meson mixing parameters, CP violation parameters, parameters of semileptonic decays and CKM matrix elements.

Automated one-loop calculations in four and D dimensions

We explicitly formulate the vacuum quark-pair-creation model (QPC) of strong-interaction vertices (Micu, Carlitz and Kislinger) in terms of the harmonic-oscillator spatial-SU(6) wave functions and an explicit vacuum quark-antiquark-pair transition matrix (both displaying the quark internal momenta). The coupling constants are expressed as functions of masses and the oscillator radius. The structure of the formulas is in agreement with the expressions coming from VMD (vector-meson dominance) and PCAC (partial conservation of axial-vector current), and the quark-model calculation of leptonic decays. We carefully investigate the relation of this QPC model with the additive quark model with elementary meson emission, which is known to explain most of the hadronic decays. We show that we recover this model in a given limit. It is shown that in this limit, a term $\stackrel{\ensuremath{\rightarrow}}{\ensuremath{\sigma}}(i)\ifmmode\cdot\else\textperiodcentered\fi{}({\stackrel{\ensuremath{\rightarrow}}{\mathrm{k}}}_{\ensuremath{\pi}}\ensuremath{-}{\stackrel{\ensuremath{\rightarrow}}{\mathrm{k}}}_{i})$ (depending on the internal quark momentum) appears in place of the usual $\stackrel{\ensuremath{\rightarrow}}{\ensuremath{\sigma}}(i)\ifmmode\cdot\else\textperiodcentered\fi{}{\stackrel{\ensuremath{\rightarrow}}{\mathrm{k}}}_{\ensuremath{\pi}}$ term; the additional contribution is similar to the well-known "recoil" term of Mitra and Ross. The main limits of the model lie (i) in the presence of a phenomenological pair-creation constant and (ii) in the nonrelativistic character of the treatment. A critical test of our model is provided by prediction of the decay-products polarization. We find a striking agreement with experiment for the crucial ${A}_{1}$ and $B$ decays. We make a comparison with the parameter-dependent model of Colglazier and Rosner.

"Naive" Quark-Pair-Creation Model of Strong-Interaction Vertices

Hadron transitions in the quark model

It is shown that the naive quark-pair---creation model, perhaps the simplest generalization of the additive quark model treating all the hadrons as composite, correctly describes the observed centrifugal-barrier effect in the baryon decays in which more than one partial wave contributes. Good agreement is found with the partial-wave analysis of Brody et al. of ${\ensuremath{\pi}}^{\ensuremath{-}}p\ensuremath{\rightarrow}{\ensuremath{\pi}}^{+}{\ensuremath{\Delta}}^{\ensuremath{-}}$ in the 1690-MeV mass region. Comparison is made with the previous unsuccessful $\mathrm{SU}{(6)}_{W}$ predictions and with the work of Petersen and Rosner.
