Observation of η′c production in γγ fusion at CLEO
Physical Review Letters 92:14 (2004)
Abstract:
The production of η′c in two-photon γγ fusion reaction at CLEO was investigated. The spin dependence of Cornell potential along with spin-orbit, spin-spin and tensor components was assumed to occur from the vector Coulombic part. The confinement potential was assumed to be scalar with minimal spin-orbit contribution which was observed due to Thomas precession. The production via two-photon fusion and four-charged particles was ensured by total transverse momentum.Cabibbo-suppressed decays of D+→π+π0,K+K0,K+π0

The environments of hyperluminous infrared galaxies at 0.44 < z < 1.55
Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society 349:2 (2004) 518-526
Abstract:
We present deep wide-field Ks-band observations of six Hyperluminous Infrared Galaxies (HLIRGs) spanning a redshift range 0.44 < z < 1.55. The sample resides in a wide variety of environments, from the field to Abell 2 clusters, with a mean galaxy-HLIRG clustering amplitude of 〈Bgh〉 = 190 ± 45 Mpc1.77. The range in environments, and the mean clustering level, are both greater than those seen in local IR-luminous galaxies, from which we infer that the range of galaxy evolution processes driving IR-luminous galaxy evolution at z > 0.5 is greater than locally, and includes mergers between gas-rich spiral galaxies in the field, but also includes encounters in clusters and hierarchical build-up. The similarity in the range of environments and mean clustering amplitude between our sample and QSOs over a similar redshift range is consistent with the interpretation where evolutionary connections between IR-luminous galaxies and QSOs are stronger at z > 0.5 than locally, and that, at these redshifts, the processes that drive QSO evolution are similar to those that drive IR-luminous galaxy evolution. From comparison of the HLIRG and QSO host galaxies we further postulate that a larger fraction of IR-luminous galaxies pass through an optical QSO stage at z > 0.5 than locally.Simultaneous radio and X-ray observations of the low-mass X-ray binary GX 13+1
