Motivated by the absence, so far, of any direct signal of conventional low-energy supersymmetry, we explore the consequences of making the lightest Higgs boson in supersymmetry relatively heavy, up to about 300 GeV, in the most straightforward way, i.e. via the introduction of a chiral singlet S with a superpotential interaction with the Higgs doublets, λS H

Neutrino masses imply the violation of lepton flavour and new physics beyond the Standard Model. However, flavour change has only been observed in oscillations. In analogy with the quark sector, we could deduce the existence of a principle of Minimal Flavour Violation also for Leptons. Such an extension is not straightforward, since the mechanisms generating

We study the electromagnetic radiation from a hot and slightly strong interacting fireball system of quark-gluon plasma using the Boltzmann distribution function for the incoming particles and Bose-Einstein distribution for gluon in first calculation of electromagnetic radiation and Fermi-Dirac distribution for quark, antiquark and Boltzmann distribution for

Mesonic fluctuations around the chiral solitons are investigated in the SU(3) chiral quark soliton model. Since the soliton takes the non-hedgehog shape for the hyperons and the hedgehog one for the non-hedgehog baryons in our approach, the fluctuations also change according to the baryonic state. The quantum corrections to the masses (the Casimir energies)

We present an updated measurements of time-dependent CP asymmetries in fully reconstructed neutral B decays to several CP eigenstates containing a charmonium meson. The measurements use a data sample of (347.5 +/- 3.8) x 10^{6} $\FourS \to B\Bbar$ decays collected with the babar detector at the PEP-II B factory between 1999 and 2006. We determine sin2beta =

We report a preliminary measurement of $\cos2β$ in $B^0\to D^{(*)0}h^0$ decays with a time-dependent Dalitz plot analysis of $D^0\to K_Sπ^+π^-$, where $h^0$ is a light neutral meson such as $π^0$, $η$, $η'$ or $ω$. The strong phase variation on the Dalitz plot allows the access to the angle $β$ with only a two-fold ambiguity ($β+π$). Using $311\times 10^

We report preliminary results of a search for CPT and Lorentz violation in B0-B0bar oscillations using an inclusive dilepton sample collected by the BABAR experiment at the PEP-II B Factory. Using a sample of 232 million BBbar pairs, we search for time-dependent variations in the complex CPT parameter z = z0 + z1*cos(Omega*t^ + phi) where Omega is the Earth&

We present preliminary measurements of CP-violating asymmetries for the decay omega K0S. The data sample corresponds to 347 million BBbar pairs produced by e+e- annihilation at the Upsilon(4S) resonance. For the decay omega K0S, we measure the time-dependent CP-violation parameters S = 0.62+0.25-0.30+/-0.002, and C = -0.43+0.25-0.23+/-0.03, where the first u

In future mobility support will require handling roaming in heterogeneous access networks. In order to enable seamless roaming it is necessary to minimize the impact of the vertical handoffs. Localized mobility management schemes such as FMIPv6 and HMIPv6 do not provide sufficient handoff performance, since they have been designed for horizontal handoffs. In

It was found that two different spin states of the A-like phase can be obtained in aerogel sample. In one of these states we have observed the signal of the longitudinal NMR, while in another state no trace of such a signal was found. The states also have different properties in transverse NMR experiments. Longitudinal NMR signal was also observed in the B-l

In this work the dynamics of a freely jointed random chain with small masses attached to the joints is studied from a microscopic point of view. The chain is treated using a stringy approach, in which a statistical sum is performed over all two dimensional trajectories spanned by the chain during its fluctuations.

Crack patterns in a layer of laponite gel allowed to dry in a static electric field are studied. Crack patterns in natural and synthetic clays have been studied extensively with interesting results. This is the first report of such an observation in a radial electric field. The nano-sized disc-like laponite particles carry a quadrupole moment due to their ch

Bond-dilution effects on the ground state of the square-lattice antiferromagnetic Heisenberg model, consisting of coupled bond-alternating chains, are investigated by means of the quantum Monte Carlo simulation. It is found that, when the ground state of the non-diluted system is a non-magnetic state with a finite spin gap, a sufficiently weak bond dilution

Using 7.5-year spectroscopic monitoring data of a sample of 17 Palomar-Green QSOs (PG QSOs) (z=0.061-0.371), we obtain the optical spectral slope for each object at all epochs by a power-law fit to the spectra in continuum bands. All of these 17 PG QSOs exhibit obvious spectral slope variability. Most of the 17 objects show anti-correlation between the spect

In 1987-89 were synthesized soluble nano-composites of polyacetylene (NPA) with an abnormally high intensity of Raman scattering and high stability under laser radiation.

The angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy studies on cuprates in the pseudogap region reveal an extraordinary topological transition in which the ground state changes from one with a normal Fermi surface to one with four Fermi points. Such a state is not possible without some symmetry breaking, which allows interference between one-particle basis states

For $n \times n$ matrices $A$ and $B$ define $$η(A,B)=\sum_{S}\det(A[S])\det(B[S']),$$ where the summation is over all subsets of $\{1,..., n\}$, $S'$ is the complement of $S$, and $A[S]$ is the principal submatrix of $A$ with rows and columns indexed by $S$. We prove that if $A\geq 0$ and $B$ is Hermitian then (1) the polynomial $η(zA,-B)$ has all r

The zero-energy bound states at the edges or vortex cores of chiral p-wave superconductors should behave like majorana fermions.

We study a model of hard-core bosons with short-range repulsive interactions at half-filling on the kagome lattice. Using quantum Monte Carlo (QMC) numerics, we find that this model shows a continuous superfluid to insulator quantum phase transition, with exponents $z=1$ and $ν\approx 0.67(5)$. The insulator, $\cI^*$, exhibits short-ranged density and bond c

The fixed point index of topological fixed point theory is a well studied integer-valued algebraic invariant of a mapping which can be characterized by a small set of axioms. The coincidence index is an extension of the concept to topological (Nielsen) coincidence theory. We demonstrate that three natural axioms are sufficient to characterize the coincidence

X-ray and optical observations of quadruply lensed quasars can provide a microarcsecond probe of the lensed quasar, corresponding to scale sizes of \~10^2-10^4 gravitational radii of the central black hole. This high angular resolution is achieved by taking advantage of microlensing by stars in the lensing galaxy. In this paper we utilize X-ray observations

We compute the B-mode polarization power spectrum of the CMB from an epoch of inhomogeneous reionization, using a simple model in which HII regions are represented by ionized spherical bubbles with a log normal distribution of sizes whose clustering properties are determined by large-scale structure.

We study quasinormal spectrum of massive scalar field in the $D$-dimensional black hole background. We found the qualitatively different dependence on the field mass of the fundamental modes for $D\geq6$. The behaviour of higher modes is qualitatively the same for all $D$. Thus for some particular values of mass (of the field and of the black hole) the spect

We show that the relation between nonlocality and entanglement is subtler than one naively expects. In order to do this we consider the neutral kaon system--which is oscillating in time (particle--antiparticle mixing) and decaying--and describe it as an open quantum system. We consider a Bell--CHSH inequality and show a novel violation for non--maximally ent

An intense research on financial market microstructure is presently in progress. Continuous time random walks (CTRWs) are general models capable to capture the small-scale properties that high frequency data series show.

A number of observations point to the possibility that high-Tc cuprate superconductors may not be conventional Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer (BCS) superconductors, but rather derive from the Bose-Einstein condensation (BEC) of real-space pairs, which are mobile small bipolarons.

We study the effect of the Coulomb interaction on the local density of states (LDOS) and its Fourier component in disordered cuprates. It is shown that the Coulomb interaction suppresses strongly the maximum value of the LDOS induced by the dopant impurity at each energy and expands significantly the Friedel oscillation in real space.

Model of a passive scalar field advected by the compressible Gaussian strongly anisotropic velocity field with the covariance $\propto δ(t-t^{\prime})|{\bf x}-{\bf x^{\prime}}|^{2ε}$ is studied by using the field theoretic renormalization group and the operator product expansion.

It is given in terms of a moment of inertia of the membrane. From it we obtain a bound for the mass gap of any D+1 Yang-Mills theory in the slow-mode regime. In particular we analyze the physical

We study the screening length L_s of a heavy quark-antiquark pair in strongly coupled gauge theory plasmas flowing at velocity v. Using the AdS/CFT correspondence we investigate, analytically, the screening length in the ultra-relativistic limit. We develop a procedure that allows us to find the scaling exponent for a large class of backgrounds. We find that

Using the Advanced Camera for Surveys on the Hubble Space Telescope, we have obtained deep optical images reaching stars well below the oldest main sequence turnoff in the spheroid, tidal stream, and outer disk of the Andromeda Galaxy. We have reconstructed the star formation history in these fields by comparing their color-magnitude diagrams to a grid of is

The thermal equilibrium of string gas is necessary to activate the Brandenberger-Vafa mechanism, which makes our observed 4-dimensional universe enlarge. Nevertheless, the thermal equilibrium is not realized in the original setup, a problem that remains as a critical defect. We study thermal equilibrium in the Hagedorn universe, and explore possibilities for

Experimental energy spectrum and B(E2) values in 68Ni and 90Zr indicate a double-magic character in these neutron-rich nuclei with N or Z=40. The data nevertheless do not show any pronounced irregularity in two-nucleon separation energy. To understand the underlying physics, we carry out both shell-model and mean-field calculations. The shell-model calculati

There is by now a large consensus in modern monetary policy. This consensus has been built upon a dynamic general equilibrium model of optimal monetary policy as developed by, e.g., Goodfriend and King (1997), Clarida et al. (1999), Svensson (1999) and Woodford (2003). In this paper we extend the standard optimal monetary policy model by introducing nonlinea

We present a physical construction of degenerate groundstates of the Moore-Read Pfaffian states, which exhibits non-Abelian statistics, on general Riemann surface with genus g. The construction is given by a generalization of the recent argument [M.O. and T. Senthil, Phys. Rev. Lett. 96, 060601 (2006)] which relates fraction- alization and topological order.

We obtain the double factorization of braided bialgebras or braided Hopf algebras, give relation among integrals and semisimplicity of braided Hopf algebra and its factors.

We report the first experimental observation of stationary zonal flows in the pedestal region of the H-mode plasma in the H-1 toroidal heliac. Strong peaks in E_r shear mark the top and foot of the density pedestal. Strong m=n=0 low-frequency (f < 0.6 kHz) zonal flows are observed in regions of increased E_r, suggesting substantial contribution of zonal flow

Cosmic dust extinction alters the flux of type Ia supernovae. Inhomogeneities in the dust distribution induce correlated fluctuations of the SN fluxes. We find that such correlation can be up to 60% of the signal caused by gravitational lensing magnification, with an opposite sign. Therefore if not corrected, cosmic dust extinction is the dominant source of

The CLEO-c experiment at the CESR e+ e- storage ring has collected data with E_cm = 3.77 GeV and E_cm ~ 4.17 GeV to study the decays of charmed mesons. This paper discusses results on the hadronic branching fractions of the D0, D+, and Ds+.

Single-photon sources and detectors are key enabling technologies in quantum information processing. Nanowire-based superconducting single-photon detectors (SSPDs) offer single-photon detection from the visible well into the infrared with low dark counts, low jitter and short dead times. We report on the high fidelity characterization (via antibunching and s

The (complex) two-qubit systems comprise a 15-dimensional convex set and the real two-qubit systems, a 9-dimensional convex set. While formulas for the Hilbert-Schmidt volumes of these two sets are known -- owing to recent important work of Sommers and Zyczkowski (J. Phys. A {36}, 10115 [2003]) -- formulas have not been so far obtained for the volumes of the

Non-statistical weak measurements yield weak values that are outside the range of eigenvalues and are not rare, suggesting that weak values are a property of every pre-and-post-selected ensemble. They also extend the applicability and valid regime of weak values.

A &#34;quasi-deterministic&#34; scheme to generate a two-photon generalized binomial state in a single-mode high-Q cavity is proposed. We also suggest a single-shot scheme to measure the generated state based on a probe two-level atom that &#34;reads&#34; the cavity field. The possibility of implementing the schemes is discussed.
