One is the cofiinear factorization, the other is the transverse-momentum-dependent factorization. They have been previously derived in a formal way by using diagram expansion at hadron level. If the two factorizations hold or can be proven, they should also hold when we replace hadrons with patton states. We examine these two factorizations at patton level with massless partons. It is nontrivial to generate these asymmetries at parton level with massless patrons because the asymmetries require helicity-flip and nonzero absorptive parts in scattering amplitudes. By constructing suitable patton states with massless partons we derive the two factorizations for the asymmetry in Drell-Yan processes. It is found from our results that the collinear factorization derived at parton level is not the same as that derived at hadron level. Our results with massless partons confirm those derived with single massive parton state in our previous works.展开更多

Domain occupied by the fluid has a channel geometry with 512 by 256 grid points, periodic boundary conditions in x-direction and rigid boundaries in y-direction. Random forcing is applied at high wave-numbers in the spectral space. To better understand eddies dynamics we simulate both regimes, with and without stochastic forcing, starting from identical initial conditions. Direct numerical simulations exhibit different dynamical properties in different regimes. In the freely evolving case, a wave term that competes with inertia on large-scales (added as a result of the β-effect) produces high meridional asymmetries in the eddies spatial and time scales. This asymmetry is added to the standard for the β-plane turbulence zonal asymmetry. In the forced regime there is not only anisotropy in the eddies deformation radius, but also in their orientation. The preferred direction for the warm anomalies elongation is north-western, while for the cold anomalies is north-eastern. These results may explain the observed meridional meandering of the mid-latitude zonal jets.展开更多

By applying Bayoumi and Eichengreen's equation, it was found that with a decent adjustment, a high percentage of countries show a tendency to harmonize their currencies in function of the four independent variables: output disturbances, the dissimilarity in exports composition, the trade linkages, and the size of the economies. To extend the model, mobility of labor and level of the integration in good's market were added by modifying Behrens' proposal, founding that the six variables are indeed related to the exchange rate harmonization at different significant levels, with a considerable moderate fitting. Additionally an analysis of variance (ANOVA) has been considered in order to study the following economic indicators: gross domestic product (GDP), population, GDP per capita, exports to group vs. total exports, unemployment, and inflation rates so as to visualize the economic asymmetries of the Union, for the same period. Differences were inferred for all of them but not for their annual speed of change. The least significant differences (LSD) provide further results and Duncan's multiple range tests lead to defining groups of countries with similar characteristics.展开更多

Combining the experimental constrains on the 2HDM Ⅲ parameters, we take two set of representative parameter spaces in our calculations. For the branching ratio of Λ+b →Λμμ-decay, considering the uncertainties of the form factors and input parameters, we find the results of both SM and 2HDM Ⅲ can satisfy the current experimental data in the framework of lattice QCD, but not in HQET. Then we calculate the double-lepton polarization asymmetries Pij and their averaged values Pij, we find the double-lepton polarization asymmetries PLT,PNN, and PTT are sensitive to the 2HDM Ⅲ. However, PLN, PNL, PNT, and PTN show the opposite results. The contribution of the 2HDM Ⅲ to their averaged values have similar results.展开更多

The simulation results suggested that the suppression of moisture supply and increased friction acted to enhance the convection from the left and front quadrants of the TC to the front and right of the TC during different periods of landfall. When surface moisture flux was turned off, convection in other parts of the quadrant was clearly suppressed and the total rainfall was reduced. When surface friction was increased, precipitation showed a marked increase after the TC made landfall. Wetter air at low and intermediate levels, and drier air at high levels around the onshore side of the coastline led to a high value of convective available potential energy (CAPE). Consequently, convection was enhanced immediately downstream of this area when the surface moisture flux was cut off. When surface friction was increased, the physical process was similar prior to landfall. After landfall, increased convergence at the onshore side of the land resulted in enhanced convection in front of the TC. Consistent with previous findings, our results suggest that during landfall the TC structure changes from one of thermodynamic symmetry to asymmetry due to differential moisture flux between the land and sea surface. The asymmetry of the thermodynamic structure, which can be explained by the distribution of CAPE, causes an asymmetric rainfall structure.展开更多

There are different paths to finding C P asymmetry in the decays of strange baryons; they are all highly non-trivial. The Hyper CP Collaboration has probed CPV in the decays of singleΞ and Λ [1]. We discuss future lessons from e~+e^-collisions at BESⅢ/BEPCⅡ: probing decays of pairs of strange baryons, namely Λ, Σ and . Realistic goals are to learn about non-perturbative QCD. One can hope to find CPV in the decays of strange baryons; one can also dream of finding the impact of New Dynamics. We point out that an important new era will start with the BESIII/BEPCII data accumulated by the end of 2018. This also supports new ideas to trigger J/ψ→■Λ at the LHCb collaboration.展开更多

文摘I. INTRODUCTION It has been recognized since the 1940s that flare emission lines are usually asymmetric. Svestka summarized in his book the spectral observations before the 1970s. His main resuits are as follows: (ⅰ) for most flares, a short-lived blue asymmetry appears at the flare on-
文摘To improve the goodness of fitting 57Fe M?ssbauer spectra of ferromagnetic amorphous alloys, two problems should be resolved:(ⅰ)How to analyse the asymmetry of peak amplitudes and peak widths in the spectrum about the spectrum centre; (ⅱ) how to correct the parameters concerned, e. g. the peak area ratio and peak widths in basic subspectra and the average isomer shift, in fitting spectra with the Hesse method or the Window method. In the present note the asym-

文摘We study the decays ofΛb→Λ(→pπ^(−))ℓ^(+)ℓ^(−)withℓ=(e,μ,τ).We examine the full angular distributions with polarizedΛb,where the T-odd observables are identified.We discuss the possible effects of new physics(NP)and find that the T-odd observables are sensitive to them as they vanish in the standard model.Special attention is given to the interference of(pseudo)scalar operators with(axial)vector operators in polarized Λ_(b)→Λ(→pπ^(−))τ^(+)τ^(−),which are studied for the first time.Their effects are proportional to the lepton masses and therefore may evade the constraint from Λ_(b)→Λ(→pπ^(−))μ^(+)μ^(−) at the LHCb naturally.AsΛ_(b)→Λ(→pπ^(−))τ^(+)τ^(−) is uncontaminated by the charmonia resonance,it provides a clean background to probe NP.In addition,we show that the experimental central value of K10 in Λ_(b)→Λ(→pπ^(−))μ^(+)μ^(−) at the LHCb can be explained by the NP case,which couples to the right-handed quarks and leptons.The polarization fraction of Λ_(b) at the LHCb is found to be consistent with zero regardless of the NP scenarios.

文摘While indirect and direct C P violation(CPV) has been established in the decays of strange and beauty mesons, no CPV has yet been found for baryons. There are different paths to finding C P asymmetry in the decays of strange baryons; they are all highly non-trivial. The Hyper CP Collaboration has probed CPV in the decays of singleΞ and Λ [1]. We discuss future lessons from e~+e^-collisions at BESⅢ/BEPCⅡ: probing decays of pairs of strange baryons, namely Λ, Σ and . Realistic goals are to learn about non-perturbative QCD. One can hope to find CPV in the decays of strange baryons; one can also dream of finding the impact of New Dynamics. We point out that an important new era will start with the BESIII/BEPCII data accumulated by the end of 2018. This also supports new ideas to trigger J/ψ→■Λ at the LHCb collaboration.
文摘Secondary rhinoplasty to address complications from initial surgical intervention is a technically challenging operation.Common aesthetic complications that plague patients after primary rhinoplasty include nasal tip asymmetries,bossae,and alar retraction.These adverse outcomes are usually a result of over-manipulation and/or over-excision of native cartilage and are especially prevalent in patients with thick lower lateral cartilages and thin nasal skin.Techniques to minimize tissue handling,maintain natural nasal anatomic support and structure,and soften sharp edges from cartilage grafts or incisions are all essential in the prevention of nasal tip irregularities.In addition to prevention,there are many operative and procedural interventions to correct tip asymmetries,bossae,and alar retraction.These interventional corrections include varying cartilage and/or fascial grafts,camouflaging of previously performed grafts,and repositioning of the alar cartilage.

文摘Auroral Kilometric Radiation (AKR) is a common radio emission,which can contribute to the magnetosphere-ionosphereatmosphere co u pling.Similar emissions have been observed in all magnetic planet magnetospheres of the solar system.In this study,using observations from the FAST satellite from 30 August 1996 to 9 September 2001,the distribution of AKR in altitude=500-4500 km and invariant latitude (|ILAT|)=60°-80°has been analyzed.63045 AKR samples have been identified with~48%(52%) samples on the dayside (nightside).Of considerable interest,there is a distinct MLT asymmetry with the high occurrence rate in MLT=05-08 and 18-22(02-05 and 12-17) in the northern (southern) hemisphere.The distinct MLT asymmetry is associated with the direction of Bxof the interplaneta ry magnetic field.In addition,the occurrence rate on the nightside clearly increases as the AE^(*) index increases.This study further enriches the information and understanding of AKR in the magnetosphere as well as other similar radio emissions.

文摘The transverse single-spin asymmetry forρ^(0) production in semi-inclusive deep inelastic scattering was recently reported by the COMPASS Collaboration.Using the Sivers function extracted from pion and kaon productions,we perform a calculation of the Sivers asymmetry within the transverse momentum-dependent factorization.Our results are consistent with the COMPASS data,supporting the universality of the Sivers function in the semi-inclusive deep inelastic scattering process for different final-state hadrons within current experimental uncertainties.While different parametrizations of the Sivers function from global analyses allow describing the data equally well,we obtain very different predictions on the Sivers asymmetry ofρand K^(*)productions at electron-ion colliders,which therefore are expected to provide further constraints.
