Graphene was recently proposed as a material for heat removal owing to its extremely high thermal conductivity. We simulated heat propagation in silicon-on-insulator (SOI) circuits with and without ...graphene lateral heat spreaders. Numerical solutions of the heat-propagation equations were obtained using the finite-element method. The analysis was focused on the prototype SOI circuits with the metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistors. It was found that the incorporation of graphene or few-layer graphene (FLG) layers with proper heat sinks can substantially lower the temperature of the localized hot spots. The maximum temperature in the transistor channels was studied as function of graphene's thermal conductivity and the thickness of FLG. The developed model and obtained results are important for the design of graphene heat spreaders and interconnects.
We perform a full amplitude analysis of the process e+e−→J/ψDD¯, where D refers to either D0 or D+. A new charmoniumlike state X*(3860) that decays to DD¯ is observed with a significance of 6.5σ. Its ...mass is (3862−32+26 −13+40) MeV/c2, and its width is (201−67+154 −82+88) MeV. The JPC=0++ hypothesis is favored over the 2++ hypothesis at the level of 2.5σ. The analysis is based on the 980 fb−1 data sample collected by the Belle detector at the asymmetric-energy e+e− collider KEKB.

We present the first measurements of absolute branching fractions of Ξc0 decays into Ξ−π+, ΛK−π+, and pK−K−π+ final states. The measurements are made using a dataset comprising (772±11)×106 BB¯ pairs ...collected at the ϒ(4S) resonance with the Belle detector at the KEKB e+e− collider. We first measure the absolute branching fraction for B−→Λ¯c−Ξc0 using a missing-mass technique; the result is B(B−→Λ¯c−Ξc0)=(9.51±2.10±0.88)×10−4. We subsequently measure the product branching fractions B(B−→Λ¯c−Ξc0)B(Ξc0→Ξ−π+), B(B−→Λ¯c−Ξc0)B(Ξc0→ΛK−π+), and B(B−→Λ¯c−Ξc0)B(Ξc0→pK−K−π+) with improved precision. Dividing these product branching fractions by the result for B−→Λ¯c−Ξc0 yields the following branching fractions: B(Ξc0→Ξ−π+)=(1.80±0.50±0.14)%, B(Ξc0→ΛK−π+)=(1.17±0.37±0.09)%, and B(Ξc0→pK−K−π+)=(0.58±0.23±0.05)%. For the above branching fractions, the first uncertainties are statistical and the second are systematic. Our result for B(Ξc0→Ξ−π+) can be combined with Ξc0 branching fractions measured relative to Ξc0→Ξ−π+ to yield other absolute Ξc0 branching fractions.

Using a data sample of 980 fb−1 of e+e− annihilation data taken with the Belle detector operating at the KEKB asymmetric-energy e+e− collider, we report the results of a study of excited Ξc states ...that decay, via the emission of photons and/or charged pions, into Ξc0 or Ξc+ ground state charmed-strange baryons. We present new measurements of the masses of all members of the Ξc′, Ξc(2645), Ξc(2790), Ξc(2815), and Ξc(2980) isodoublets, measurements of the intrinsic widths of those that decay strongly, and evidence of previously unknown transitions.

We report measurements of isospin asymmetry Δ0− and difference of direct CP asymmetries ΔACP between charged and neutral B→Xsγ decays. This analysis is based on the data sample containing 772×106BB¯ ...pairs that was collected with the Belle detector at the KEKB energy-asymmetric e+e− collider. Using a sum-of-exclusive technique with invariant Xs mass up to 2.8 GeV/c2, we obtain Δ0−=−0.48±1.49(stat)±0.97(syst)±1.15(f+−/f00)% and ΔACP=+3.69±2.65(stat)±0.76(syst)%, where the last uncertainty for Δ0− is due to the uncertainty on the production ratio of B+B− to B0B¯0 in (4S) decays. The measured value of Δ0− is consistent with zero, allowing us to constrain the resolved photon contribution in the B→Xsγ, and improve the branching fraction prediction. The result for ΔACP is consistent with the prediction of the SM. We also measure the direct CP asymmetries for charged and neutral B→Xsγ decays. All the measurements are the most precise to date.

We have searched for the Cabibbo-suppressed decay Λc+→ϕpπ0 in e+e− collisions using a data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 915 fb−1. The data were collected by the Belle ...experiment at the KEKB e+e− asymmetric-energy collider running at or near the ϒ(4S) and ϒ(5S) resonances. No significant signal is observed, and we set an upper limit on the branching fraction of B(Λc+→ϕpπ0)<15.3×10−5 at 90% confidence level. The contribution of nonresonant Λc+→K+K−pπ0 decays is found to be consistent with zero, and the corresponding upper limit on its branching fraction is set to be B(Λc+→K+K−pπ0)NR<6.3×10−5 at 90% confidence level. We also search for an intermediate hidden-strangeness pentaquark decay Ps+→ϕp. We see no evidence for this intermediate decay and set an upper limit on the product branching fraction of B(Λc+→Ps+π0)×B(Ps+→ϕp)<8.3×10−5 at 90% confidence level. Finally, we measure the branching fraction for the Cabibbo-favored decay Λc+→K−π+pπ0; the result is B(Λc+→K−π+pπ0)=(4.42±0.05(stat)±0.12(syst)±0.16(norm))%, which is the most precise measurement to date.

This work reports the first observation of azimuthal asymmetries around the thrust axis in e+e− annihilation of pairs of back-to-back charged pions in one hemisphere, and π0 and η mesons in the ...opposite hemisphere. These results are complemented by a new analysis of pairs of back-to-back charged pions. The π0 and η asymmetries rise with the relative momentum z of the detected hadrons as well as with the transverse momentum with respect to the thrust axis. These asymmetries are sensitive to the Collins fragmentation function H1⊥ and provide complementary information to previous measurements with charged pions and kaons in the final state. In particular, the η final states will provide additional information on the flavor structure of H1⊥. This is the first measurement of the explicit transverse-momentum dependence of the Collins fragmentation function from Belle data. It uses a dataset of 980.4 fb−1 collected by the Belle experiment at or near a center-of-mass energy of 10.58 GeV.

We present an analysis of the exclusive B+ → π+ π− ℓ+ νℓ decay, where ℓ represents an electron or a muon, with the assumption of charge-conjugation symmetry and lepton universality. The study ...exploits the full Υ ( 4 S ) data sample collected by the Belle detector, corresponding to 711 fb−1 of integrated luminosity. Events are selected by fully reconstructing one B meson in hadronic decay modes, subsequently determining the properties of the other B meson. We extract the signal yields using a binned maximum-likelihood fit to the missing-mass squared distribution in bins of the invariant mass of the two pions or the momentum transfer squared. We measure a total branching fraction of B(B+ → π+ π− ℓ+ νℓ) = 22.7+1.9 −1.6 (stat) ± 3.5(syst) × 10−5, where the uncertainties are statistical and systematic, respectively. This result is the first reported measurement of this decay.

We report the result from the first search for D0 decays to invisible final states. The analysis is performed on a data sample of 924 fb−1 collected at and near the ϒ(4S) and ϒ(5S) resonances with ...the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric-energy e+e− collider. The absolute branching fraction is determined using an inclusive D0 sample, obtained by fully reconstructing the rest of the particle system including the other charmed particle. No significant signal yield is observed and an upper limit of 9.4×10−5 is set on the branching fraction of D0 to invisible final states at 90% confidence level.
