In this work, we outline a general method for calculating Auger spectra in molecules, which accounts for the underlying symmetry of the system. This theory starts from Fano’s formulation of the interaction between discrete and continuum states, and it generalizes this formalism to deal with the simultaneous presence of several intermediate quasi-bound states and several non-interacting decay channels. Our theoretical description is specifically tailored to resonant autoionization and Auger processes, and it explicitly includes the incoming wave boundary conditions for the continuum states and an accurate treatment of the Coulomb repulsion. This approach is implemented and applied to the calculation of the K−LL Auger and autoionization spectra of ozone, which is a C2v symmetric molecule, whose importance in our atmosphere to filter out radiation has been widely confirmed. We also show the effect that the molecular point group and, in particular, the localization of the core-hole in the oxygen atoms related by symmetry operations, has on the electronic structure of the Auger states and on the spectral lineshape by comparing our results with the experimental data.

We embark on systematic explorations of the behaviour of tetraquark mesons, i.e., colour-singlet bound states of two quarks and two antiquarks, in the (idealized) limit of a large number of colour degrees of freedom, Nc,; of quantum chromodynamics, QCD. Considering the scattering of two ordinary mesons into two ordinary mesons, we start off with formulating a set of selection criteria that should enable us to unambiguously single out precisely those contributions to all encountered scattering amplitudes that potentially will develop tetraquark poles. Assuming that tetraquark mesons do exist and, if so, emerge in the contributions compatible with our criteria at largest admissible order of Nc; we deduce, for the categories of tetraquarks that exhibit either four or only two different open quark flavours, that the decay rates of these tetraquark types are, at least, of order 1/N2c and that internal consistency requires all the members of the first species to exist pairwise, distinguishable by their favoured two-ordinary-meson decay channels.

AbstractWe study the masses and lifetimes of doubly charmed pentaquark $$P_{cc{\bar{q}}qq}(q=u,d,s)$$ P c c q ¯ q q ( q = u , d , s ) primarily. The operation of masses carried out by the doubly heavy triquark-diquark model, whose results suggests the existence of stable states $$cc{\bar{s}} ud$$ c c s ¯ u d with the parity $$J^P=\frac{1}{2}^-$$ J P = 1 2 - . The roughly calculation about lifetimes show the short magnitudes, $$(4.65^{+0.71}_{-0.55})\times 10^{-13}s $$ ( 4 . 65 - 0.55 + 0.71 ) × 10 - 13 s for the parity $$J^P=\frac{1}{2}^-$$ J P = 1 2 - and $$(0.93^{+0.14}_{-0.11})\times 10^{-12} s $$ ( 0 . 93 - 0.11 + 0.14 ) × 10 - 12 s for $$J^P=\frac{3}{2}^-$$ J P = 3 2 - . Since the pentaquark $$cc{\bar{s}} ud$$ c c s ¯ u d is interpreted as the stable bound states against strong decays, then we will focus on the production and possible decay channels of the pentaquark in the next step, the study would be fairly valuable supports for future experiments. For completeness, we systematically studied the production from $$\Omega _{ccc}$$ Ω ccc and the decay modes in the framework SU(3) flavor symmetry, including the processes of semi-leptonic and two body non-leptonic decays. Synthetically, we make a collection of the golden channels.

AbstractThe study of interactions between a high-power laser and atoms has been one of the fundamental and interesting topics in strong field physics for decades. Based on a nonperturbative model, ten years ago, we developed a set of programs to facilitate the study of interactions between a circularly polarized laser and atomic hydrogen. These programs included only contribution from the bound states of the hydrogen atom. However, as the laser intensity increases, contribution from continuum states to the excitation and ionization processes becomes larger and can no longer be neglected. Furthermore, because the original code is not able to add this contribution directly due to its many disadvantages, a major upgrade of the code is required before including the contribution from continuum states in future. In this paper, first we deduce some important formulas for contribution of continuum states and present modifications and tests for the upgraded code in detail. Second we show some comparisons among new results, old results from the original codes and the available experimental data. Overall the new result agrees with experimental data well. Last we present our calculation of above-threshold ionization (ATI) rate and compare it with a pertuba-tive calculation. The comparison shows that our nonperturbative calculation can also produce ATI peak suppression.
