Dr Bastian Kubis (Universitรคt Bonn)13/06/2011, 14:30Heavy HadronstalkDalitz plot studies for multi-hadron decays of heavy mesons are expected to become very important tools for precision investigations of CP violation. A thorough understanding of the hadronic final-state interactions is a prerequisite to achieve a highly sensitive, model-independent study of CP-violating phases in such processes. I will illustrate the theoretical tools available, as well as...Go to contribution page

Ms Patricia Magalhรฃes, C. (University of Sรฃo Paulo, Brazil)13/06/2011, 14:55Heavy HadronstalkThe last decade provided important advances on light scalar resonances sector in the D decays. In particular, different analyses showed the evidence for $\sigma$ and $\kappa$ mesons close to the threshold. Decays of charmed meson, however, are still poorly understood theoretically. The $K^-\pi^+$ phase shift extracted from $D^+\to K^- \pi^+\pi^+$[1] and from $K^-\pi^+$ scattering[2]...Go to contribution page

Dr camilla di donato (INFN Sez. Napoli)13/06/2011, 15:15Heavy HadronstalkIt has been realized for a long time that knowing the eta and eta^prime wave functions in terms of quark and gluon components probes our understanding of non-perturbative QCD dynamics. Great effort has been given to this challenge -- yet no clear picture has emerged even with the most recent KLOE data. We point out which measurements would be most helpful in arriving at a more definite...Go to contribution page

Dr Carina M. Zanetti (Instituto de Fรญsica, USP)13/06/2011, 15:35Heavy HadronstalkAbstract: We use QCD sum rules to investigate the nature of the meson X(3872), assumed to be a mixture between charmonium and exotic molecular c bar{q}[q\bar{c}]$ states with J^{PC}=1++. We compute the mass of the state, decay widths of the channels J/psi(npi) and J\psi\gamma, and the branching ratio for the production of the state in the decay B to X(3872)K. We find that the...Go to contribution page

Dr Feng-Kun Guo (Universitรคt Bonn)13/06/2011, 16:50Heavy HadronstalkThe leading order interaction between a Goldstone boson and a matter field is universally dominated by the Weinberg-Tomozawa term. Based on this observation, we predict a rich spectrum of bound states of a kaon and a heavy meson. We argue that if the life time of an excited heavy meson is significantly longer than the range of forces, then the finite width of that state can be neglected in a...Go to contribution page

139. A new interpretation for the $D^*_{s2}(2573)$ and the prediction of novel exotic charmed mesonsMrs Raquel Molina (IFIC)13/06/2011, 17:10Heavy HadronstalkWe study the vector - vector interaction within the hidden gauge formalism in a coupled channel unitary approach. In the sector $C=1,S=1,J=2$ we get a pole in the T-matrix around $2572$ MeV that we identify with the $D^*_{s2}(2573)$, coupling strongly to the $D^*K^*$($D^*_s\phi$($\omega$)) channels. In addition we obtain resonances in other exotic sectors which have not been studied before...Go to contribution page

Dr Daniel Mohler (TRIUMF)13/06/2011, 17:30Heavy HadronstalkWe present results for the low-lying spectrum of D and D_s mesons from a lattice QCD calculation on 2+1 flavor Clover-Wilson configurations generated by the PACS-CS collaboration. In particular S- and P-wave states of charmed and charmed-strange mesons are explored for pion masses down to 156MeV. For the heavy quark, the Fermilab method is employed. In addition to ground states, some...Go to contribution page

Dr Fergus Wilson (Rutherford Laboratory)13/06/2011, 17:50Heavy HadronstalkThe large samples of B, D and tau decays that will be recorded at SuperB can be used to provide both stringent constraints on new physics scenarios, and overconstraints on the Standard Model. We discuss the physics potential what can be learned from SuperB.Go to contribution page

Prof. Dmitri Melikhov (HEPHY Vienna Austria & SINP Moscow Russia)14/06/2011, 14:30Heavy HadronstalkWe present the sum-rule extraction of the decay constants of the D, Ds, B, and Bs mesons from the two-point correlator of heavy-light pseudoscalar currents. We use the OPE of this correlator in terms of the running heavy-quark mass, for which the perturbative expansion exhibits a reasonable convergence. Our main emphasis is laid on the control over the uncertainties in the decay constants,...Go to contribution page

Roberta Cardinale (INFN - Genova)14/06/2011, 14:50Heavy HadronstalkData collected in 2010 at the LHC is used by LHCb to perform the first preliminary mass measurements of b-hadron states fully reconstructed in modes decaying to a J/psi. The systematics on the momentum and mass scales, determined by the level of knowledge and understanding of the tracking system, are addressed. Precise mass measurements for B0, B+, Bs, Bc and ฮb are reported. In several cases,...Go to contribution page

Dr Timothy Burns (INFN Roma)14/06/2011, 15:10Heavy HadronstalkThe recent discovery of the bottomonia states h_b(1P) and h_b(2P) confirms the expectations of constituent quark models, already verified in the charmonia sector, that the spin-spin splitting of P-wave mesons is very small. The striking agreement is somewhat surprising because the non-relativistic quark model prediction, for which the splitting is identically zero, may be modified due to...Go to contribution page

Dr Kai Schweda (University of Heidelberg)14/06/2011, 15:30Heavy HadronstalkHeavy-quarks are, due to their large mass, unique tools to probe the quark gluon plasma created in high-energy nuclear collisions. In proton-proton collisions, heavy-quark production comprises a fundamental challenge to theory and experiment. We report on recent results from the ALICE experiment on heavy flavour production in $pp$ and $Pb-Pb$ collisions at unprecedented high...Go to contribution page

Christophorus Grab (ETH Zรผrich)16/06/2011, 17:10Heavy HadronstalkA measurement of the angular correlations between beauty and anti-beauty hadrons produced in LHC pp collisions at sqrt{s}=7 TeV is presented, probing for the first time the small angular separation region. The B hadrons are identified by the presence of secondary vertices from their decays and their kinematics reconstructed combining the decay vertex with the primary interaction vertex.

Artur Ukleja (Andrzej Zoltan Institute for Nuclear Studies, Warsaw)16/06/2011, 17:30Heavy HadronstalkThe data collected by LHCb in 2010 have been used to study the production of charm and beauty hadrons in pp collisions at sqrt(s) = 7 TeV. Differential cross-sections will be presented and compared with theoretical predictions. Results will also be shown on production asymmetries, and the relative fractions of B_s and Lambda_b production. If available, updates will also be shown using 2011 data.Go to contribution page

Mr Jorge Segovia (Universidad de Salamanca)16/06/2011, 17:50Heavy HadronstalkAccuracy on the measurement of the Cabbibo - Kobayashi - Maskawa matrix elements demands a detailed knowledge of semileptonic decays of b -hadrons. In particular, decays involving orbitally excited c-mesons provide an important contribution to the total semileptonic width. Therefore, a better understanding of these processes will reduce the uncertainties in the above mentioned matrix elements....Go to contribution page

Prof. Marek Karliner (Tel Aviv University)17/06/2011, 09:00Heavy Hadronstalkdiscuss several highly accurate theoretical predictions for masses of baryons containing the b quark which have been recently confirmed by experimental data. I point out that proper treatment of the color-magnetic hyperfine interaction in QCD is crucial for obtaining these results. Several yet untested predictions are given for additional properties of heavy baryons. The same approach...Go to contribution page

Mr Chu-Wen XIAO (Departamento de Fisica Teorica and IFIC, Universidad de Valencia)17/06/2011, 09:30Heavy HadronstalkIn this work, we show our recent theoretical results for three-body systems in the charm sector which are made of three hadrons and contain one nucleon, one D meson and in addition another meson, Dbar, K or Kbar. The Fixed Center Approximation to the Faddeev equations was used, in which we take a cluster of two particles and allow the third one to interact with either of the constituents of...Go to contribution page

Mr Joseph Day (University of Graz)17/06/2011, 10:15Heavy HadronstalkWe report first results from a study of heavy-baryon spectroscopy within a relativistic constituent-quark model whose hyperfine interaction is based on Goldstone-boson-exchange dynamics. While for light-flavor constituent quarks it is now commonly accepted that the effective Q-Q interaction is (predominantly) furnished by Goldstone-boson exchange, due to spontaneous chiral-symmetry breaking of...Go to contribution page

We will talk in details about recent CDF measurements of heavy baryon properties of charmed Sigma_c and Lambda_c* and of their bottom partners, Sigma_b. The CDF results on exotic Y(4140) state will be discussed. The new production...Go to contribution page
