We perform the first global quantum chromodynamics (QCD) analysis of dihadron production for a comprehensive set of data in electron-positron annihilation, semi-inclusive deep-inelastic scattering, and proton-proton collisions, from which we extract simultaneously the transversity distributions of the nucleon and π^{+}π^{-} dihadron fragmentation functions. We incorporate in our fits known theoretical constraints on transversity, namely, its small-x asymptotic behavior and the Soffer bound. We furthermore show that lattice-QCD results for the tensor charges can be successfully included in the analysis.

We consider a one-dimensional effective quantum electrodynamics (QED) model of the relativistic hydrogen-like atom using delta-potential interactions. We discuss the general exact theory and the Hartree-Fock approximation. The present one-dimensional effective QED model shares the essential physical feature of the three-dimensional theory: the nuclear charge polarizes the vacuum state (creation of electron-positron pairs), which results in a QED Lamb-type shift of the bound-state energy.

The positron, as the antiparticle of the electron, can form metastable states with atoms and molecules before its annihilation with an electron. Such metastable matter-positron complexes are stabilized by a variety of mechanisms, which can have both covalent and noncovalent character. Specifically, electron-positron binding often involves strong many-body correlation effects, posing a substantial challenge for quantum-chemical methods based on atomic orbitals.

Despite the fact that the positron annihilation has been used in biomedical applications, the detailed mechanism of the positron annihilation on biological molecules remains poorly understood so far. In this work, we investigated the positron binding and positron annihilation properties for both global minimum and hydrogen-bonded structures of 20 amino acid molecules using the multicomponent molecular orbital method. By regression analysis, we confirmed that positron affinity can increase with an increase of the permanent dipole moment of the parent amino acids as reported in previous studies, while the annihilation rate linearly increases with respect to the square root of positron affinity.
