Anti-measurement Matrix Uncertainty Sparse Signal Recovery for Compressive Sensing

Compressive sensing (CS) is a technique for estimating a sparse signal from the random measurements and the measurement matrix. Traditional sparse signal recovery methods have seriously degeneration with the measurement matrix uncertainty (MMU). Here the MMU is modeled as a bounded additive error. An anti-uncertainty constraint in the form of a mixed L2 and L1 norm is deduced from the sparse signal model with MMU. Then we combine the sparse constraint with the anti-uncertainty constraint to get an anti-uncertainty sparse signal recovery operator. Numerical simulations demonstrate that the proposed operator has a better reconstructing performance with the MMU than traditional methods.

$\mathscr{O}(100 GeV)$ Deci-weak $W^\prime/Z^\prime$ at Tevatron and LHC

Recently Tevatron released their measurements on invariant mass spectrum of electron/positron, as well as the di-jet arising from WW+WZ production with one W leptonically decay. Though the statistics is not significant, there are two bumps around 240 GeV and 120-160 GeV respectively. We proposed that the two bumps correspond to the extra light gauge bosons $Z^\prime$ and $W^\prime$, which couple with quarks with the deci-weak strength. In this brief report, we also simulated di-jet invariant mass distribution at the current running LHC.

New Color-Octet Vector Boson Revisit

Motivated by CDF recent measurements on di-jet invariant mass spectrum where di-jet is associated production with charged leptons ($e/μ$) and missing energy, we re-examine the previous proposed massive color-octet axial-vector-like boson $Z_c$. Our simulation showed that the di-jet bump around 120-160 GeV can be induced by $Z_c$ with effective coupling $g_{Z_c q \bar q} =0.2 g_s$ (q represents the quark other than top and $g_s$ is the strong coupling constant). Moreover our numerical investigation indicated that the top quark forward-backward asymmetry $A_{FB}^t$ can be reproduced without distorting shape of differential cross section $dσ/d M_{t\bar t}$, provided that the $Z_c$ and top quark coupling is appropriately chosen ($g_{Z_c t \bar t} \simeq 4.5 g_{Z_c q \bar q}$). Our results also showed that the theoretical $A_{FB}^t$ as functions of $Δy$ and $M_{t\bar t}$ can be consistent with data within $1σ$ and $1.8σ$ respectively.

Is the $J^P=2^-$ assignment for the $X(3872)$ compatible with the radiative transition data?

The very recent analysis by BaBar Collaboration indicates that the $X(3872)$ may favor the quantum number $J^{PC}=2^{-+}$ rather than the previously assumed $1^{++}$. By pretending the $η_{c2}(1D)$ charmonium to be the $X(3872)$, we study the parity-even radiative transition processes $η_{c2}(1D)\to J/ψ(ψ')+γ$ within several phenomenological potential models. We take the ${}^3D_1$ admixture in $ψ'$ into account, and consider the contributions from the magnetic dipole ($M1$), electric quadrupole ($E2$), and magnetic octupole ($M3$) amplitudes. It is found that the ratio of the branching fractions of these two channels, as well as the absolute branching fraction of $η_{c2}\to ψ'γ$, are in stark contradiction with the existing \textsc{BaBar} measurements. This may indicate that the $2^{-+}$ assignment for the $X(3872)$ is highly problematic.

"Hard-scattering" approach to very hindered magnetic-dipole transitions in quarkonium

For a class of hindered magnetic dipole ($M1$) transition processes, such as $Υ(3S)\to η_b+γ$ (the discovery channel of the $η_b$ meson), the emitted photon is rather energetic so that the traditional approaches based on multipole expansion may be invalidated. We propose that a "hard-scattering" picture, somewhat analogous to the pion electromagnetic form factor at large momentum transfer, may be more plausible to describe such types of transition processes. We work out a simple factorization formula at lowest order in the strong coupling constant, which involves convolution of the Schrödinger wave functions of quarkonia with a perturbatively calculable part induced by exchange of one semihard gluon between quark and antiquark. This formula, without any freely adjustable parameters, is found to agree with the measured rate of $Υ(3S)\to η_b+γ$ rather well, and can also reasonably account for other recently measured hindered $M1$ transition rates. The branching fractions of $Υ(4S)\to η_b^{(\prime)}+γ$ are also predicted.
