The quasi-spin entanglement of neutral mesons to test the Bell nonlocality is systematically studied. In the case of CP violation, the concrete expression of the Bell inequality for entangled neutral meson pairs is derived. The violation of Bell inequality in the oscillations of $B_d^0-\bar{B}_d^0$, $B_s^0-\bar{B}_s^0$, $D^0-\bar{D}^0$ and $K^0-\bar{K}^0$ meson pair systems are found at certain evolution time including the latest experimental data. Our study is helpful for studying CP-violating involved flavor entanglement and testing Bell inequality violation in the current and future high energy experiment facilities., Comment: 6 pages, 4 figures

CP violation in baryon decays has recently garnered significant attention. Traditionally, CP violation in charmed baryon decays is predicted to be at the order of $O(10^{-4})$. Utilizing recent measurements from BESIII, Belle and Belle~II experiments, we conduct a comprehensive global analysis to estimate the contribution of topological diagrams in these processes. Our study reveals that topological diagrams alone cannot fully account for the experimental data. By incorporating new effects that are not included in traditional topological diagrams and exploring the possible source of the new effect, our analysis reveals the potential for significant CP violation in $\Lambda_c^+\to n \pi^+$ and $\Xi_c^+\to \Xi^0 K^+$. This suggests a promising opportunity to observe CP violation for the first time in charmed baryon decays., Comment: 5 pages, 1 figures with supplemental material, add new relevant references and descriptions

Given the sheer volume of surgical procedures and the significant rate of postoperative fatalities, assessing and managing surgical complications has become a critical public health concern. Existing artificial intelligence (AI) tools for risk surveillance and diagnosis often lack adequate interpretability, fairness, and reproducibility. To address this, we proposed an Explainable AI (XAI) framework designed to answer five critical questions: why, why not, how, what if, and what else, with the goal of enhancing the explainability and transparency of AI models. We incorporated various techniques such as Local Interpretable Model-agnostic Explanations (LIME), SHapley Additive exPlanations (SHAP), counterfactual explanations, model cards, an interactive feature manipulation interface, and the identification of similar patients to address these questions. We showcased an XAI interface prototype that adheres to this framework for predicting major postoperative complications. This initial implementation has provided valuable insights into the vast explanatory potential of our XAI framework and represents an initial step towards its clinical adoption., Comment: 32 pages, 7 figures, 4 supplement figures and 1 supplement table

Recently, the ATLAS and CMS collaborations jointly announced the first evidence of the rare Higgs boson decay channel $H\to Z\gamma$, with a ratio of $2.2\pm 0.7$ times the leading order standard model (SM) prediction. In order to face this challenge, it is urgent to produce an even more accurate calculation within the SM. To this end, we calculate in this paper the next-to-leading order (NLO) electroweak (EW) corrections to the $H\to Z\gamma$ process, in which the NLO quantum chromodynamics (QCD) corrections were found tiny. Our calculation finds that the inclusion of NLO EW corrections greatly enhances the prediction reliability. To tame the theoretical uncertainty, we adopt five different renormalization schemes. Combining our result with previous NLO QCD corrections and the signal-background interference, we conclude that the excess in $H\to Z\gamma$ cannot be explained within the SM. In fact, the incompatibility between the SM prediction and the LHC measurement of the concerned process is exacerbated upon considering the higher order EW corrections, which implies that something beyond the SM could be involved., Comment: Accepted for publication as a Letter in Physical Review D

Motivated by the very recent observation of the $B^+_c\to J/\psi+\pi^+ +\pi^0$ decay using proton-proton collision data by the LHCb collaboration, we study the four-body angular distributions and the quantum entanglement effects in the $B^+_c\to J/\psi+\pi^+ +\pi^0$ associated with $J/\psi\to \mu^++\mu^-$. The helicity angular distributions are given in the QCD effective theory and the von Neumann entropy is obtained in $B^\pm_c\to J/\psi(\to \mu^+\mu^-)+\rho^\pm(\to \pi^\pm \pi^0)$ decay process., Comment: 5 pages and 5 figures

We systematically study the mass spectra and their two-body hadronic decays of the beauty-charm meson family considering the coupled channel effects. Our results can good explain the observed $B_c$ meson spectrum and the prediction of the mass spectrum for unobserved beauty-charm mesons can be tested in future experiments. For the coupled channel components, we predicted the $1S$ state in beauty-charm meson family is about $4\%$, while the $2S$, $1P$, $2P$, $1D$, and $2D$ states are about $14\%$, $10\%$, $33\%$, and $17\%$ respectively. For the $3S$, $2P$ and $2D$ states, the strong decay is allowed, The two-body hadronic decay widths of the $3^1S_0$, $3^3S_1$, $2^3P_2$ states are about 110 MeV, 69 MeV, and 3 MeV, respectively. While the two-body decay widths of the $2^3D_1$, $2D$, $2D^\prime$, and $2^3D_2$ states are 60 MeV, 149 MeV, 65 MeV, and 72 MeV, respectively.

To distinguish the low-lying vector beauty-charm meson, we systematically study the $B_c^*\to B_c+\gamma$, $B_c^*\to \ell+{\nu}_{\ell}$ and $B_c^{(*)}\to J/\psi+nh$ processes within effective theory by the helicity decomposition method. The significant difference of polarization asymmetry in $B_c^{(*)}\to J/\psi+nh$ indicates a general law in vector-to-vector and pseudoscalar-to-vector transition processes, which can be tested in current and future LHC experiments. In the end, we discuss the experiment search and discovery potential for the low-lying vector beauty-charm meson., Comment: 6 pages, 4 figures

Within the framework of non-relativistic QCD (NRQCD) factorization, we compute the matching coefficients between full Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) and NRQCD for the heavy flavor-changing vector, axial-vector, scalar and pseudo-scalar currents up to next-to-next-to-next-to-leading order (N$^3$LO). We accomplish the analytical expressions for the three-loop renormalization constants and the corresponding anomalous dimensions for all of the four NRQCD currents with two different heavy flavors. The three-loop QCD corrections to the matching coefficients turn out to be significantly larger than lower order corrections. By employing the scale relation, we obtain the N$^3$LO corrections to the wave functions at the origin for the vector $B_c^*$ meson and the pseudo-scalar $B_c$ meson from the known result for the equal-mass heavy quarkonium in potential NRQCD (pNRQCD). We find large cancellations at the third order between the matching coefficients and the wave functions at the origin, and obtain the convergent decay constants of $B^*_{c}$ and $B_{c}$ up to N$^3$LO. We present the complete perturbative QCD predictions for the decay constants, leptonic decay widths, and branching ratios of the beauty-charmed mesons., Comment: arXiv admin note: text overlap with arXiv:2301.00220

We show the three-loop calculation of the matching coefficients $\mathcal{C}_J$ for the four heavy flavor-changing currents in nonrelativistic Quantum Chromodynamics effective theory and confirm the surprising observation of the nonconvergence behaviors of the matching coefficients for beauty-charm mesons. We demonstrate that the higher-order correction to the wave function at origin can solve the nonconvergence problem. By employing the scaling relation, we simultaneously obtain the decay constants for beauty-charm mesons up to the three-loop accuracy and the hyperfine mass splitting in agreement with the experimental data. The perturbative predictions for the leptonic decays of the beauty-charm mesons shall provide a guide in ongoing and future precision heavy flavor experiments., Comment: The content of this paper arXiv:2303.02692 substantially overlaps with that of the paper arXiv:2303.07220, the latter of which has already been published in the JHEP journal (JHEP 05 (2023) 189)

We compute the matching coefficient between the quantum chromodynamics (QCD) and the non-relativistic QCD ( NRQCD) for the flavor-changing scalar current involving the heavy charm and bottom quark, up to the three-loop order within the NRQCD factorization. For the first time, we obtain the analytical expressions for the three-loop renormalization constant $\tilde{Z}_s(x,R_f)$ and the corresponding anomalous dimension $\tilde{\gamma}_s(x,R_f)$ for the NRQCD scalar current with the two heavy bottom and charm quark. We present the precise numerical results for those relevant coefficients $(C_{FF}(x_0), \cdots, C_{FBB}(x_0))$ with an accuracy of about thirty digits. The three-loop QCD correction turns out to be significantly large. The obtained matching coefficient $C_s(\mu_f,\mu,m_b,m_c)$ is helpful to analyze the threshold behaviours when two different heavy quarks are close to each other and form the double heavy $B_c$ mesons., Comment: The projector is updated

We present the next-to-next-to-leading order (NNLO) QCD corrections to the decay constants for both the pseudoscalar and vector beauty-charmed mesons $B_{c}$ and $B^*_{c}$ in nonrelativistic QCD effective theory. Explicit NNLO calculation verified that the $B_c$ decay constant from pseudoscalar current is identical with the $B_c$ decay constant from axial-vector current. The NNLO result for the vector decay constant of $B^*_{c}$ meson is novel. Combined with the latest extraction of nonrelativistic QCD long-distance matrix elements of $B_c$ meson, we give the branching ratios of leptonic decays of $B_{c}$ and $B^*_{c}$ mesons. In addition, the novel anomalous dimension for the flavor-changing heavy quark vector current in nonrelativistic QCD effective theory are helpful to investigate the threshold behaviours of two different heavy quarks., Comment: 9 pages, 7 figures, 6 tables; the inputting values of LDMEs are changed with new references and then the phenomenological results are also updated; some comments added; several typos corrected

We demonstrate that gluon transverse-momentum-dependent parton distribution functions (TMDPDFs) can be extracted from lattice calculations of appropriate Euclidean correlations in large-momentum effective theory (LaMET). Based on perturbative calculations of gluon unpolarized and helicity TMDPDFs, we present a matching formula connecting them and their LaMET counterparts, where the latter are renormalized in a scheme facilitating lattice calculations and converted to the $\overline{\rm MS}$ scheme. The hard matching kernel is given up to one-loop level. We also show that the perturbative result is independent of the prescription used for the pinch-pole singularity in the relevant correlations. Our results offer a guidance for the extraction of gluon TMDPDFs from lattice simulations, and have the potential to greatly facilitate perturbative calculations of the hard matching kernel., Comment: 22 pages, 5 figures. Corrected a few typos. Accepted for publication in JHEP

We present a next-to-leading order (NLO) QCD corrections to $B_c\to \eta_c$ and $B_c\to J/\psi$ tensor form factors within nonrelativistic QCD (NRQCD) framework. The full analytical results for $B_c$ to S-wave charmonium tensor form factors are obtained. We also studied the asymptotic behaviours of tensor form factors in hierarchy heavy quark limit, i.e. $m_b\to\infty,~ m_c\to\infty, ~\mathrm{and }~m_c/m_b\to0$. A compact expression for tensor form factors are given analytically in the hierarchy heavy quark limit. The relation among different form factors is also analyzed especially at large momentum recoil point. The numerical results for the $B_c$ to charmonium tensor form factors in all the physical region are given in the end., Comment: comments: 9 pages, 9 figures; some typos corrected, references added; to be published in PRD

We perform a global analysis of the $b\to c\tau\nu$ data using the recent lattice results on the $B_c\to J/\psi$ vector and axial-vector form factors. To explore the effects from the tensor operator of new physics beyond the standard model, we determine the tensor form factors by using the non-relativistic QCD (NRQCD) relations between tensor and (axial-)vector form factors. Based on the lattice+NRQCD form factors, we fit the Wilson coefficients and the new physics couplings in $R_2$, $S_1$ and $U_1$ leptoquark models by including the recently measured $R(\Lambda_c)$ and imposing the relaxed constraint $\mathcal B(B_c\to J/\psi)<30\%$ in light of the recent studies on LEP1 data and $B_c$ lifetime. We give predictions for the experimental observables including $R(J/\psi)$, $P_\tau(J/\psi)$, $F_L(J/\psi)$ and $\mathcal A_{FB}(J/\psi)$ as well as their $q^2$ distribution in new physics scenarios/models. Our results suggest that the longitudinal $\tau$ polarization fraction $P_\tau(J/\psi)$ and the forward-backward asymmetry $\mathcal A_{FB}(J/\psi)$ are useful for testing the $R_2$ leptoquark model., Comment: 19 pages, 10 figures and 6 tables

Motivated by the latest discovery of a new tetraquark $T_{cc}^+$ with two charm quarks and two light antiquarks by LHCb Collaboration, we investigated the $DD^*$ hadronic molecule interpretation of $T_{cc}^+$. By calculation, the mass and the decay width of this new structure $T_{cc}^+$ can be understood in one-meson exchange potential model. The binding energies for these $DD^*$ hadronic molecules with $J^P=1^+$ are around $1MeV$. Besides, we also studied the possible beauty-partners $T_{bb}(10598)$ of hadronic molecule $T^+_{cc}$, which may be feasible in future LHCb experiments., Comment: 7 pages, 1 figure, and 1 table; the theoretical uncertainty is discussed

With a distinctive internal structure from all established hadrons, the beauty-charmed baryons $\Xi_{bc}$ can provide us with new points of view to decipher the strong interaction. In this work, we point out that the inclusive $\Xi_{bc} \to \Xi_{cc}^{++}+X$ decay is a golden channel for the experimental discovery of $\Xi_{bc}$ at the LHC. A unique feature of this process is that the $\Xi_{cc}^{++}$ is displaced, which greatly reduces the combinatorial background. A feasibility analysis is performed on the $\Xi_{bc}^+$ search, which is expected to have a longer lifetime than $\Xi_{bc}^0$ and thus a better displacement resolution. The $\Xi_{bc}^+ \to \Xi_{cc}^{++}+X$ branching ratio is calculated within the heavy diquark effective theory. Combining the $\Xi_{bc}$ production rate and the $\Xi_{cc}^{++}$ detection efficiency, we anticipate that hundreds of signal events will be collected during LHCb Run 3., Comment: 6 pages, 3 figures

Transverse-momentum-dependent parton distribution functions and wave functions (TMDPDFs/TMDWFs) can be extracted from lattice calculations of appropriate Euclidean matrix elements of staple-shaped Wilson line operators. We investigate the mixing pattern of such operators under lattice renormalization using symmetry considerations. We perform an analysis for operators with all Dirac structures, which reveals mixings that are not present in one-loop lattice perturbation theory calculations. We also present the relevant one-loop matching in a renormalization scheme that does not introduce extra non-perturbative effects at large distances, both for the TMDPDFs and for the TMDWFs. Our results have the potential to greatly facilitate numerical calculations of TMDPDFs and TMDWFs on the lattice., Comment: 8 pages, version published in Phys. Rev. D

In this paper, the soft gluon resummation effect in double heavy quarkonium production at the LHC is studied. By applying the transverse momentum dependent factorization formalism, the large logarithms introduced by the small total transverse momentum of heavy quarkonium pair final state system, are resummed to all orders in the expansion of the strong interaction coupling at the Next-to-Leading Logarithm accuracy. We also compare our result with the LHC data. We find that the distribution shape predicted by resummation calculation is consistent with experimental data very well. Since this process is mainly initiated by gluon fusion, it supplies us an important channel to study the gluon parton property in hadrons., Comment: 7pages,3figures

Motivated by very recent measurement of the radiative decays of $\Upsilon(1S)$ to $\chi_{c1}$ at Belle, we use the nonrelativistic QCD factorization theory and calculate the branching fractions of the radiative decays of bottomonium into S-wave and P-wave charmonium, i.e. $\Upsilon(nS) \to \eta_c(nS)+\gamma$ and $\Upsilon(nS)\to \chi_{cJ}+\gamma$. We systematically studied the branching fractions of the radiative decays of bottomonium into charmonium. Compared to the previous calculation, we obtained the analytical expression for the decay widths and considered the color-octet contributions. For $\Upsilon(nS) \to \eta_c(nS)+\gamma$, the relativistic corrections are also obtained. Through the calculation, the theoretical prediction for $\Upsilon(1S)\to\chi_{c1}+\gamma$ is still smaller than the recent Belle measurement. Further theoretical work and experimental analysis are necessary to understand the $\chi_{c1}$ production mechanism in upsilon decays., Comment: 10 pages,3 figures,6 tables

Motivated by the observation of exotic structure around 6900MeV in the $J/\psi$-pair mass spectrum using proton-proton collision data by the LHCb collaboration, we study the spectra of fully-heavy tetraquarks within Bethe-Salpeter equation and Regge trajectory relation. The $X(6900)$ may be explained as a radially excited state with quark content $cc\bar{c}\bar{c}$ and spin-parity $0^{++}(3S)$ or $2^{++}(3S)$ or an orbitally excited $2P$ state. New $cc\bar{c}\bar{c}$ structures around 6.0GeV, 6.5GeV, and 7.1GeV are predicted together. Other $bb\bar{b}\bar{b}$ and $bc\bar{b}\bar{c}$ structures which may be experimentally prominent are discussed. On the other hand, the fully-heavy S-wave tetraquark productions at hadron colliders are investigated and their cross-sections are obtained., Comment: 17 pages,5 figures,1 table.

Motivated by the LHCb observation of exotic states $X_{0,1}(2900)$ with four open quark flavors in the $D^- K^+$ invariant mass distribution in the decay channel $B^\pm \to D^+ D^- K^\pm$, we study the spectrum and decay properties of the open charm tetraquarks. Using the two-body chromomagnetic interactions, we find that the two newly observed states can be interpreted as a radial excited tetraquark with $J^P=0^+$ and an orbitally excited tetraquark with $J^P=1^-$, respectively. We then explore the mass and decays of the other flavor-open tetraquarks made of $su \bar d \bar c$ and $ d s \bar u \bar c$, which are in the $\bar 6$ or $15$ representation of the flavor SU(3) group. We point that these two states can be found through the decays: $X^{(\prime)}_{d s \bar{u}\bar{c}}\to (D^- K^-, D_s^- \pi ^-) $, and $X^{(\prime)}_{s u \bar{d}\bar{c}}\to D_s^-\pi ^+ $. We also apply our analysis to open bottom tetraquark $X_b$ and predict their masses. The open-flavored $X_b$ can be discovered through the following decays: $X_{ud\bar s\bar{b}}\to B^0K^+$, $X^{(\prime)}_{d s \bar{u}\bar{b}}\to (B^0 K^-, B_s^0 \pi ^-) $, and $X^{(\prime)}_{s u \bar{d}\bar{b}}\to B_s^0\pi ^+ $., Comment: 9 pages, 4 tables; the published version

We present the next-to-next-to-leading order (NNLO) calculation of quark quasi parton distribution functions (PDFs) in the large momentum effective theory. The nontrivial factorization at this order is established explicitly and the full analytic matching coefficients between the quasi distribution and the lightcone distribution are derived. We demonstrate that the NNLO numerical contributions can improve the behavior of the extracted PDFs sizably. With the unprecedented precision study of nucleon tomography at the planned electron-ion collider, high precision Lattice QCD simulations with our NNLO results implemented will enable to test the QCD theory and more precise results on the PDFs of nucleons will be obtained., Comment: 9 pages, 1 figure; comments and discussions are warmly welcome; v2: 10 pages, 2 figures, an error corrected, and numerical results added

We compute the master integrals for two-loop QCD corrections to quasi parton distribution functions (PDFs) in large momentum effective theory. Analytical results of the master integrals are derived using the method of differential equations, along with a proper choice of canonical basis. The results of master integrals are expressed in terms of Goncharov polylogarithms. These integrals allow to extract the two-loop short-distance matching coefficients between quasi and light cone PDFs in large momentum effective theory, and are helpful to extract the nucleon PDFs from first principles., Comment: 21 pages

We present a next-to-next-to-leading order (NNLO) calculation of the quasi parton distribution functions (Quasi-PDFs) in the large momentum effective theory (LaMET). We focus on the flavor non-diagonal quark-quark channel and demonstrate the LaMET factorization at the NNLO accuracy in the modified minimal subtraction scheme. The matching coefficient between the quasi-PDF and the light-cone PDF is derived. This provides a first step towards a complete NNLO analysis of quasi-PDFs and to better understand the nucleon structures from the first principle of QCD., Comment: 10 pages, 3 figures; v2: accepted for publication in Physical Review D as a rapid communication

Motivated by the very recent observations of hidden charm pentaquarks $P_c(4312)^+$, $P_c(4440)^+$ and $P_c(4457)^+$ of the LHCb Collaboration, we systematically study the spectra of the doubly-heavy (with or without charm/bottom numbers) pentaquarks and tetraquarks in non-relativistic constituent quark model. The model independent variational method is employed to solve the Schr\"odinger equation, where the test functions adopted are symmetric for the light quarks. In our study, the $P_c(4312)^+$ may be assigned as the ground state with spin-parity $\frac{1}{2}^-$ or $\frac{3}{2}^-$, while the $P_c(4440)^+$ and $P_c(4457)^+$ may be assigned as the excited states with $\frac{1}{2}^-$, which might all belong to the sextet with $s_{c\bar{c}}=1$ and $s_\ell=\frac{3}{2}$. It is notable that our working framework is quite similar to that of Hydrogen molecule, but with different potential structure. We also classify these pentaquarks and tetraquarks in light of the heavy quark symmetry and their decay properties are analyzed. Several promising channels for the observation of doubly-heavy pentaquarks and doubly-heavy tetraquarks in experiment are proposed., Comment: 11 pages, 2 figures, 7 tables; added new discussions

We complete the procedure of extracting parton distribution functions (PDFs) using large momentum effective theory (LaMET) at leading power accuracy in the hadron momentum. We derive a general factorization formula for the quasi PDFs in the presence of mixing, and give the corresponding hard matching kernel at $\mathcal O(\alpha_s)$, both for the unpolarized and for the polarized quark and gluon quasi-PDFs. Our calculation is performed in a regularization-independent momentum subtraction scheme. The results allow us to match the nonperturbatively renormalized quasi-PDFs to normal PDFs in the presence of mixing, and therefore can be used to extract flavor-singlet quark PDFs as well as gluon PDFs from lattice simulations., Comment: 29 pages, 5 figures. Errors in Eq. (90) are corrected

The exotic state $X(5568)$ which was observed by D0 Collaboration is very likely to be a tetraquark state with four different valence quark flavors, though the existence was not confirmed by other collaborations. The possibility of such state still generate lots of interests in theory. In the paper, we will study the properties of the state under the SU(3) flavor symmetry. This four quark state with a heavy bottom quark and three light quarks(anti-quark) can form a $6$ or $\overline {15}$ representation. The weak decays can be dominant and should be discussed carefully while such state is stable against the strong interaction. Therefor we will study the multi-body semileptonic and nonleptonic weak decays systematically. With the help of SU(3) flavor symmetry, we can give the Hamiltonian in the hadronic level, then obtain the parameterized irreducible amplitudes and the relations of different channels. At the end of the article, we collect some Cabibbo allowed two-body and three-body weak decay channels which can be used to reconstruct $X_{b6}$ states at the branching fraction up to be $10^{-5}$., Comment: 53 pages, 2 figures

Experimental measurements of decay branching fractions of semitaunic and semimuonic $B_c$ into $J/\psi$ has challenged the lepton flavor universality in standard model with about two standard deviations. In this paper, we first investigate the unitary constraint on form factors of $B_c$ meson into $S$-wave and $P$-wave charmonium. Such constraint leads to the exploration of the $R_{J/\psi}$ and other ratios $R_{\eta_c}$, $R_{h_c}$, and $R_{\chi_{cJ}}$ in a model-independent way. These results together with future experimental measurements can be used to explore the lepton flavor universality in a more systematic way. In addition, we point out that the helicity-dependent ratios $R^L_{J/\psi}$ and $R^\perp_{J/\psi}$ can also provide complementary information., Comment: 18pages, 7 figures, and 3 tables; update new contents

A large number of $B_c$ meson events have been recorded at the LHCb detector, especially some two-body hadronic decay modes. We analyzed the weak decays of the $B_c$ meson into two hadron states under the flavor SU(3) symmetry. The relations among amplitudes of $B_c$ into $ D+P(V)$, $B+P(V)$, $P(V)+P(V)$, $T_8+\bar T_8$ and $T_{10}+\bar T_{10}$ were investigated systematically, where $P$ ( $V$) denotes a light pseudoscalar (vector) meson and $T_{8,10}$ denotes a light baryon. The $\eta-\eta'$ mixing and $\omega-\phi$ mixing effects are also considered for the phenomenological discussions. We obtained the relations among decay widths of different $B_c$ decay channels. These results are helpful to study the two-body decay properties of the $B_c$ meson and test the flavor SU(3) symmetry., Comment: 11 pages, 1 figure and 10 tables. To be published in EPJC

In the light of the recent discovery of the $\Xi^{++}_{cc}$ by LHCb collaboration, we study the stable doubly heavy tetraquarks. These states are compact exotic hadrons which can be approximated as the diquark-anti-diquark correlations. In the flavor SU(3) symmetry, they form an SU(3) triplet or anti-sextet. The spectra of the stable doubly heavy tetraquark states are predicted by Sakharov-Zeldovich formula. We find that the $T^+_{cc\bar{u}\bar{d}}({\bf 3})$ is about 16MeV below the $DD^*$ threshold, while $T^{-}_{bb\bar{u}\bar{d}}({\bf 3})$ is about 73MeV below the $BB^*$ threshold. We then study the semileptonic and nonleptonic weak decays of the stable doubly heavy tetraquark states. The decay amplitudes are parametrized in terms of SU(3)-irreducible amplitudes. Ratios between decay widths of different channels are also derived. At the end, we collect the Cabibbo allowed two-body and three-body decay channels, which are most promising to search for the stable doubly heavy tetraquark states at LHCb and Belle II experiments., Comment: 41 pages, 9 figures.

We calculated the form factors of $B_{c}$ transitions into $\eta^{(')}$ meson and pseudoscalar Glueball, where the $B_{c}$ meson is a bound state of two different heavy flavors and is treated as a nonrelativistic state, while the mesons $\eta^{(')}$ and Glueball are treated as light-cone objects since their masses are smaller enough compared to the transition momentum scale. The mechanism of two gluon scattering into $\eta^{(')}$ dominated the form factors of $B_{c}$ decays into $\eta^{(')}$. We considered the $\eta-\eta'-$Glueball mixing effect, and then obtained their influences on the form factors. The form factors of $B_{c}$ transitions into $\eta^{(')}$ and pseudoscalar Glueball in the maximum momentum recoil point were obtained as follows: $f^\eta_{0,+}(q^2=0)=1.38^{+0.00}_{-0.02}\times 10^{-3}$,$f^{\eta'}_{0,+}(q^2=0)=0.89^{+0.11}_{-0.10}\times 10^{-2}$ and $f^{G}_{0,+}(q^2=0)=0.44^{+0.13}_{-0.05}\times 10^{-2}$. Also phenomenological discussions for semileptonic $B_{c}\to\eta^{(')}+\ell+\bar{\nu}_\ell$, $B_{c}\to G(0^{-+})+\ell+\bar{\nu}_\ell$ and $D_{s}\to \eta+\ell+\bar{\nu}_\ell$ decays are given., Comment: 11 pages, 8 figures, and 5 tables

We study the spectra of the doubly charmed tetraquark states in a diquark-antidiquark model. The doubly charmed tetraquark states form an antitriplet and a sextet configurations according to flavor SU(3) symmetry. For the tetraquark state $[qq'][\bar c\bar c]$, we show the mass for both bound and excited states. The two-body decays of tetraquark states $T^{cc}[0^+]$ and $T^{cc}[1^{--}]$ to charmed mesons have also been studied. In the end,the doubly charmed tetraquarks decays to a charmed baryon and a light baryon have been studied in the SU(3) flavor symmetry., Comment: 9 pages, 2 figures and six tables

We calculate the next-to-leading order (NLO) radiative correction to the color-octet $h_c$ inclusive production in $e^+e^-$ annihilation at Super $B$ factory, within the nonrelativistic QCD factorization framework. The analytic expression for the NLO short-distance coefficient (SDC) accompanying the color-octet production operator $\mathcal{O}_8^{h_c}(^1S_0)$ is obtained after summing both virtual and real corrections. The size of NLO correction for the color-octet production channel is found to be positive and substantial. The NLO prediction to the $h_c$ energy spectrum is plagued with unphysical endpoint singularity. With the aid of the soft-collinear effective theory, those large endpoint logarithms are resummed to the next-to-leading logarithmic (NLL) accuracy. Consequently, further supplemented with the non-perturbative shape function, we obtain the well-behaved predictions for the $h_c$ energy spectrum in the entire kinematic range, which awaits the examination by the forthcoming Belle II experiment., Comment: 19 pages, 1 table, 5 figures, version accepted for publication at PRD

The very recent result of the DAMPE cosmic ray spectrum of electrons shows a narrow bump above the background at around 1.4 TeV. We attempt to explain the DAMPE electron excess in a simplified Kaluza-Klein graviton-mediated dark matter model, in which the graviton only interacts with leptons and dark matter. The related phenomenological discussions are given and this simplified graviton-mediated dark matter model has the potential to be cross-tested in future lepton collider experiments., Comment: 8 pages, 3 figures
