    Possible Molecular Structure of the Newly Observed Y(4260)

    Full text link
    We suggest that the newly observed resonance Y(4260) is a χcρ0\chi_{c}-\rho^0 molecule, which is an isovector. In this picture, we can easily interpret why Y(4260)π+πJ/ψY(4260)\to \pi^+\pi^-J/\psi has a larger rate than Y(4260)DDˉY(4260)\to D\bar D which has not been observed, and we also predict existence of the other two components of the isotriplet and another two possible partner states which may be observed in the future experiments. A direct consequence of this structure is that for this molecular structure Y(4260)π+πJ/ψY(4260)\to \pi^+\pi^-J/\psi mode is more favorable than Y(4260)KKˉJ/ψY(4260)\to K\bar KJ/\psi which may have a larger fraction if other proposed structures prevail.Comment: 5 pages, 2 figures.

    Contextual-based Image Inpainting: Infer, Match, and Translate

    Full text link
    We study the task of image inpainting, which is to fill in the missing region of an incomplete image with plausible contents. To this end, we propose a learning-based approach to generate visually coherent completion given a high-resolution image with missing components. In order to overcome the difficulty to directly learn the distribution of high-dimensional image data, we divide the task into inference and translation as two separate steps and model each step with a deep neural network. We also use simple heuristics to guide the propagation of local textures from the boundary to the hole. We show that, by using such techniques, inpainting reduces to the problem of learning two image-feature translation functions in much smaller space and hence easier to train. We evaluate our method on several public datasets and show that we generate results of better visual quality than previous state-of-the-art methods.Comment: ECCV 2018 camera read

    N-Body Nuclear Forces at Short Distances in Holographic QCD

    We provide a calculation of N-body (N>2) nucleon interactions at short distances in holographic QCD. In the Sakai-Sugimoto model of large N_c massless QCD, N baryons are described by N Yang-Mills instantons in 5 spacetime dimensions. We compute a classical short distance interaction hamiltonian for N 'tHooft instantons. This corresponds to N baryons sharing identical classical spins and isospins. We find that genuine N-body nuclear forces turn out to vanish for N>2, at the leading order. This suggests that classical N-body forces are always suppressed compared with 2-body forces.Comment: 4 page

    Stochastic Process Associated with Traveling Wave Solutions of the Sine-Gordon Equation

    Full text link
    Stochastic processes associated with traveling wave solutions of the sine-Gordon equation are presented. The structure of the forward Kolmogorov equation as a conservation law is essential in the construction and so is the traveling wave structure. The derived stochastic processes are analyzed numerically. An interpretation of the behaviors of the stochastic processes is given in terms of the equation of motion.Comment: 12 pages, 9 figures; corrected typo

    Histone acetyltransferase HBO1 interacts with the ORC1 subunit of the human initiator protein

    Get PDF
    The origin recognition complex (ORC) is an initiator protein for DNA replication, but also effects transcriptional silencing in Saccharomyces cerevisiae and heterochromatin function in Drosophila. It is not known, however, whether any of these functions of ORC is conserved in mammals. We report the identification of a novel protein, HBO1 (histone acetyltransferase binding to ORC), that interacts with human ORC1 protein, the largest subunit of ORC. HBO1 exists as part of a multisubunit complex that possesses histone H3 and H4 acetyltransferase activities. A fraction of the relatively abundant HBO1 protein associates with ORC1 in human cell extracts. HBO1 is a member of the MYST domain family that includes S. cerevisiae Sas2p, a protein involved in control of transcriptional silencing that also has been genetically linked to ORC function. Thus the interaction between ORC and a MYST domain acetyltransferase is widely conserved. We suggest roles for ORC-mediated acetylation of chromatin in control of both DNA replication and gene expression

    Empirical Determination of Threshold Partial Wave Amplitudes in ppppωp p \to p p \omega

    Using the model independent irreducible tensor approach to ω\omega production in pppp collisions, we show theoretically that, it is advantageous to measure experimentally the polarization of ω\omega, in addition to the proposed experimental study employing a polarized beam and a polarized target.Comment: 6 pages, 1 Table, Latex-2

    Exclusive ϕ\phi production in proton-proton collisions in the resonance model

    Full text link
    The exclusive ϕ\phi meson production in proton-proton reactions is calculated within the resonance model. The considered model was already successfully applied to the description of π\pi, η\eta, ρ\rho, ω\omega, ππ\pi\pi production in proton-proton collisions. The only new parameter entering into the model is the ωϕ\omega-\phi mixing angle θmix\theta_{mix} which is taken equal to θmix3.7o\theta_{mix} \approx 3.7^o.Comment: 7 pages, 1 figure, to appear in the brief report section of PR

    Gas bulk motion in the Perseus cluster measured with SUZAKU

    Full text link
    We present the results from Suzaku observations of the Perseus galaxy cluster, which is relatively close, the brightest in the X-ray sky and a relaxed object with a cool core. A number of exposures of central regions and offset pointing with the X-ray Imaging Spectrometer cover a region within radii of 20'-30'. The central data are used to evaluate the instrumental energy-scale calibration with accuracy confirmed to within around 300 km/s, by the spatial and temporal variation of the instruments. These deep and well-calibrated data are used to measure X-ray redshifts of the intracluster medium. A hint of gas bulk motion, with radial velocity of about -(150-300) km/s, relative to the main system was found at 2-4 arcmin (45-90kpc) west of the cluster center, where an X-ray excess and a cold front were found previously. No other velocity structure was discovered. Over spatial scales of 50-100kpc and within 200kpc radii of the center, the gas-radial-velocity variation is below 300 km/s, while over scales of 400 kpc within 600 kpc radii, the variation is below 600 km/s. These X-ray redshift distributions are compared spatially with those of optical member galaxies for the first time in galaxy clusters. Based on X-ray line widths gas turbulent velocities within these regions are also constrained within 1000-3000 km/s. These results of gas dynamics in the core and larger scales in association with cluster merger activities are discussed and future potential of high-energy resolution spectroscopy with ASTRO-H is considered.Comment: Accepted to Ap
