 cars, we're now pretty convinced the LP lightweight flywheel will bolt up to the pre-LP cars. If it does not work on your vehicle, we'll refund the difference back to you and take the flywheel back. So as of right now, both the pre and post LP's will have lightweight flywheels!

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Karl August Fritz Schiller (April 24, 1911 in Breslau – December 26, 1994 in Hamburg) was a German scientist and politician of the Social Democratic Party (SPD). From 1966 to 1972, he was Federal Minister of Economic Affairs and from 1971 to 1972 Federal Minister of Finance. He was the inventor of the magic square, depicting Economic equilibrium, and of the Concerted activity (Konzertierte Aktion) to reflate the German market. He is thus seen as one of the most influential German economists beside Ludwig Erhard.
[edit] Education and career
From 1931, after passing the Abitur, Schiller studied Economics and Law at Kiel, Frankfurt am Main, Berlin and Heidelberg. In 1935, he finished his studies and got his Doctorate in Politics. From 1935 to 1941, he researched at the Institut für Weltwirtschaft in Kiel. In 1939, Schiller made his Habilitation. After taking part in World War II as a soldier from 1941 to 1945, Schiller became Professor at the University of Hamburg, where he became Principal from 1956 to 1958. In the meantime, from 1948 to 1966, he was a member of the scientific advisory board of the Federal Ministry for Economics.
[edit] Political career
Schiller was a member of the Nazi Party during World War II. In 1946, he joined the SPD.
From 1965 to 1972, he was a member of the Bundestag for the SPD, where he became assistant chairman of the SPD faction.
From 1948 to 1953 Schiller was Senator for economy in Hamburg and held the same office again from 1961 to 1965 in Berlin serving under mayor Willy Brandt in his second term of office.
From 1966 to 1972, he was Federal Minister of Economic Affairs in the Grand coalition under Bundeskanzler Kurt Georg Kiesinger. He worked together with Franz Josef Strauß, then Federal Minister of Finance, in the Concerted activity. In this time, they were known as Plisch und Plum after figures invented by Wilhelm Busch.
In the first cabinet of Willy Brandt, Schiller was Federal Minister of Finance from 1971 to 1972 after the demission of Alex Möller. On[July 7, 1972, Schiller demissioned, thus protesting against Brandts economic decisions. After stepping down, he soon left the SPD as well. In 1972, he participated together with Ludwig Erhard in a CDU campaign, whereby both acted as defenders of market economy. In 1980 he returned to the SPD.
[edit] Honours
In 1991, Schiller was honoured with the Großer Bundesverdienstorden.

We include the $\eta_c$ meson into the $\eta$-$\eta'$-$G$ mixing formalism constructed in our previous work, where $G$ represents the pseudoscalar gluball. The mixing angles in this tetramixing matrix are constrained by theoretical and experimental implications from relevant hadronic processes. Especially, the angle between $\eta_c$ and $G$ is found to be about $11^\circ$ from the measured decay widths of the $\eta_c$ meson. The pseudoscalar glueball mass $m_G$, the pseudoscalar densities $m_{qq,ss,cc}$ and the U(1) anomaly matrix elements associated with the mixed states are solved from the anomalous Ward identities. The solution $m_G\approx 1.4$ GeV obtained from the $\eta$-$\eta'$-$G$ mixing is confirmed, while $m_{qq}$ grows to above the pion mass, and thus increases perturbative QCD predictions for the branching ratios $Br(B\to\eta'K)$. We then analyze the $\eta_c$-mixing effects on charmonium magnetic dipole transitions, and on the $B\to\eta^{(\prime)}K_S$ branching ratios and CP asymmetries, which further improve the consistency between theoretical predictions and data. A predominant observation is that the $\eta_c$ mixing enhances the perturbative QCD predictions for $Br(B\to\eta'K)$ by 18%, but does not alter those for $Br(B\to\eta K)$. The puzzle due to the large $Br(B\to\eta'K)$ data is then resolved.


I. INTRODUCTION
It has been known that the gluonic and charm contents of the light pseudoscalar mesons η and η ′ may have a crucial impact on studies of many hadronic processes, such as η (′) electromagnetic (EM) transition form factors, η (′) radiative decays, and charmonium and heavy-flavor decays into η (′). For a recent review on the gluonic effects in EM transitions and in weak decays of charm and beauty hadrons, see [1]. It remains a puzzle that theoretical predictions for the B → η ′ K branching ratios are usually lower than data, even after taking into account the η-η ′ mixing [2,3]. Hence, it has been conjectured that the gluonic content of the η ′ meson plays a role in accommodating the large branching ratios [4][5][6][7][8]. A gluonic content of the η (′) meson has been inferred from data of the radiative decays P → γV and V → γP [9,10] and from the charmonium decays J/ψ → V P [11,12]. However, the gluonic contribution to the B → η (′) transition form factors was parametrized and tuned to fit data in the QCD factorization approach [13] and in the soft-collinear effective theory [14], so no conclusion on its importance could be drawn. This contribution was calculated explicitly in the perturbative QCD (PQCD) approach [15] using the gluonic distribution amplitudes of the η (′) meson from [16] and in QCD sum rules [17], and it was found to be small.
The charm content of the η (′) meson has been introduced through the η-η ′ -η c mixing [18,19]. This formalism was extended to the tetramixing among the π, η, η ′, and η c mesons recently [20], whose parameter set, including the mixing angles and the hadronic parameters in the light-front constituent quark model, was determined by a fit to data of relevant meson transition form factors. An intermediate question is whether this charm content affects the B → η (′) K branching ratios [21] and their CP asymmetries [22], whose measurement might reveal new physics signals. A potential deviation has been detected between the mixing-induced CP asymmetries in the tree-dominated decays B → J/ψK S and in the penguin-dominated decays B → η ′ K S. Whether this deviation can be interpreted as a signal of new physics depends on how large the tree pollution in the latter is. Though the η (′) -η c mixing is small [23,24], there is lack of quantitative estimate of its effect. It is then worthwhile to examine whether the large B → η c K amplitudes are able to compensate for the tiny mixing, and to give a sizable impact on the B → η (′) K decays.
to first mix those singlet states η 1, g, and η Q, and then mix η 1 and η 8 to form the physical states η, η ′ :  with the rotational matrices That is, we assume that the octet state η 8 does not mix with the glueball, and that the heavy-flavor state mixes with the pseudoscalar glueball more dominantly than with the η 1 state. The octet and singlet states are related to the flavor states via    where θ i is the ideal mixing angle with cos θ i = 1/3 and sin θ i = 2/3, i.e., θ i = 54.7 •. The flavor states are then transformed into the physical states through the mixing matrix with the notations cθ ≡ cos θ and sθ ≡ sin θ. Equation (4) approaches the mixing matrix in [25] in the φ Q → 0 limit, and the η-η ′ mixing matrix [18,19] in the φ Q, φ G → 0 limit. As stated in the Introduction, we have assumed isospin symmetry, i.e. no mixing with π 0, and ignored other possible admixtures from radial excitations. The decay constants f q, f s and f c are defined via the matrix elements for the light quark q = u or d.
