Scattering and bound states of fermions in the modified Hulthen potential

In the present work the scattering of a fermion in the modified Hulthen potential is considered with a general vector and scalar and we solved the Dirac equation in the one-dimensional space. The transmission and reflection coefficients are reported. The bound-state solution is also given. The study shows the asymptotic behavior of the wave function in bound-state and scattering states solutions.

Searches for heavy Higgs bosons in two-Higgs-doublet models and for t→ch decay using multilepton and diphoton final states in pp collisions at 8 TeV

Searches are presented for heavy scalar (H) and pseudoscalar (A) Higgs bosons posited in the two doublet model (2HDM) extensions of the standard model (SM). These searches are based on a data sample of pp collisions collected with the CMS experiment at the LHC at a center-of-mass energy of root s = 8 TeV and corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 19.5 fb(-1). The decays H -> hh and A -> Zh, where h denotes an SM-like Higgs boson, lead to events with three or more isolated charged leptons or with a photon pair accompanied by one or more isolated leptons. The search results are presented in terms of the H and A production cross sections times branching fractions and are further interpreted in terms of 2HDM parameters. We place 95% C.L. cross section upper limits of approximately 7 pb on sigma B for H -> hh and 2 pb for A -> Zh. Also presented are the results of a search for the rare decay of the top quark that results in a charm quark and an SM Higgs boson, t -> ch, the existence of which would indicate a nonzero flavor-changing Yukawa coupling of the top quark to the Higgs boson. We place a 95% C.L. upper limit of 0.56% on B(t -> ch).

QCD sum rules calculation of heavy Λ semileptonic decay

We set up sum rules for heavy lambda decays in a full QCD calculation which in the heavy quark mass limit incorporates the symmetries of heavy quark effective theory. For the semileptonic Λc decay we obtain a reasonable agreement with experiment. For the Λb semileptonic decay we find at the zero recoil point a violation of the heavy quark symmetry of about 20%. © 1998 Published by Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.

Weyl-van der Waerden spinor technique for spin-3/2 fermions

We use the Weyl-van der Waerden spinor technique to construct helicity wave functions for massless and massive spin-3/2 fermions. We apply our formalism to evaluate helicity amplitudes taking into account some phenomenological couplings involving these particles.

Heavy λ semileptonic decay: A QCD sum rule approach

In this work we calculate the form factors of the Lambda(c) and Lambda(b) semileptonic decay using the QCD sum rules approach. We found that the form factors sum rules are more stable than the respective mass sum rules, and we get a decay rate for Lambda(c) compatible with experiment.
