We study the processes e + e − → 2(π + π − )π 0 γ, 2(π + π − )ηγ, K + K − π + π − π 0 γ and K + K − π + π − ηγ with the hard photon radiated from the initial state. About 20000, 4300, 5500 and 375 fully reconstructed events, respectively, are selected from 232 fb −1 of BABAR data. The invariant mass of the hadronic final state defines the effective e + e − center-of-mass energy, so that the obtained cross sections from the threshold to about 5 GeV can be compared with corresponding direct e + e − measurements, currently available only for the ηπ + π − and ωπ + π − submodes of the e + e − → 2(π + π − )π 0 channel. Studying the structure of these events, we find contributions from a number of intermediate states, and we extract their cross sections where possible. In particular, we isolate the contribution from e + e − → ω(782)π + π − and study the ω(1420) and ω (1650) resonances. In the charmonium region, we observe the J/ψ in all these final states and several intermediate states, as well as the ψ(2S) in some modes, and we measure the corresponding branching fractions.
Electron-positron pair production from vacuum is studied in combined background fields, a binding electric potential well and a laser field. The production process is triggered by the interactions between the bound states in the potential well and the continuum states in the Dirac sea. By tuning the binding potential well, the pair production can be strongly affected by the locality of the bound states. The narrower bound states in position space are more efficient for pair production. This is in contrast to what is commonly expected that the wider extended bound states have larger region to interact with external fields and would thus create more particles. This surprise can be explained as the more localized bound states have a much wider extension in the momentum space, which can enhance the bound-continuum interactions in the creation process. This enhancement manifests itself in both perturbative and non-perturbative production regimes.
The combination of an oscillating and a static field is used to study the creation and annihilation phenomena during the pair creation process. The time evolution, spatial density and momentum distribution of the created particles for a fermionic system are presented, which demonstrate that with the increasing static field intensity, the number of the created particles experiences a distinguishable decrease in every period of the oscillating field, which is caused by the annihilation phenomena between the created electrons and positrons.
The electron momentum distribution of detonation nanodiamonds (DND) was investigated by recording electron energy-loss spectra at large momentum transfer in the transmission electron microscope (TEM), which is known as electron Compton scattering from solid (ECOSS). Compton profile of diamond film obtained by ECOSS was found in good agreement with prior photon experimental measurement and theoretical calculation that for bulk diamond. Compared to the diamond film, the valence Compton profile of DND was found to be narrower, which indicates a more delocalization of the ground-state charge density for the latter. Combining with other TEM characterizations such as high-resolution transmission electron spectroscopy, diffraction, and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy measurements, ECOSS was shown to be a great potential technique to study ground-state electronic properties of nanomaterials.
We study the pair creation process of bosonic systems in a time-independent potential well by numerically solving the Klein-Gordon equation. In order to study the effect of multiple bound states on the creation process, broad widths of the potential well are chosen. The energy eigenvalues are calculated by diagnosing the non-Hermitian Hamiltonian with applied fields, and the exponential growing factor of the number of created pairs is in accordance with twice of the maximum imaginary part among all the bound states. By investigating the interaction between the bound states and the negative energy continua in spectrum, the competition effect of multiple bound states in a bosonic pair creation process is discussed.
