Possible signal of an exotic $$I=1$$ I = 1 , $$J=2$$ J = 2 state in the $$B \rightarrow D^{*-}D^+K^+$$ B → D ∗ - D + K + reaction by Wen-Tao Lyu, Man-Yu Duan, Chu-Wen Xiao, En Wang, Eulogio Oset

“…Abstract We study the $$B^+ \rightarrow D^{*-}D^+K^+$$ B + → D ∗ - D + K + reaction, showing that a peak in the $$D^+K^+$$ D + K + mass distribution around $$2834 \text { MeV}$$ 2834 MeV reported by LHCb could be associated with a theoretical exotic state with that mass, a width of $$19 \text { MeV}$$ 19 MeV and $$J^P=2^+$$ J P = 2 + , stemming from the interaction of the $$D^{*+}K^{*+}$$ D ∗ + K ∗ + and $$D^{*+}_s \rho ^+$$ D s ∗ + ρ + channels, which is a partner of the $$0^+$$ 0 + $$T_{c{\bar{s}}}(2900)$$ T c s ¯ ( 2900 ) . …”

MIMO Radar Adaptive Waveform Design for Extended Target Recognition by Lulu Wang, Kai-Kit Wong, Hongqiang Wang, Yuliang Qin

“…The problems of multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) radar adaptive waveform design in additive white Gaussian noise channels and multitarget recognition based on sequential likelihood ratio test are jointly addressed in this paper. Two information-theoretic waveform design strategies, namely, the optimal waveform for maximizing the mutual information (MI) between the extended target impulse response and the target echoes and the optimal waveform for maximizing the Kullback-Leibler (KL) divergence (or relative entropy), are applied in the multitarget recognition application. …”

Collision Frequency and Energy Transfer Rate in e–He Scattering by Yeldos Seitkozhanov, Karlygash Dzhumagulova, Erik Shalenov, Murat Jumagulov

“…The calculated collision frequency as a function of energy exhibits a distinct maximum near 5 eV, consistent with experimental observations, which has not been captured in earlier theoretical studies. The energy transfer rate, derived using the effective collision frequency, demonstrates efficient energy exchange at low electron energies, with a gradual decline as the energy approaches the ionization threshold. …”
