Primordial Nucleosynthesis with a Decaying Tau Neutrino

S. Dodelson, G. Gyuk, M. S. Turner

A comprehensive study of the effect of an unstable tau neutrino on primordial nucleosynthesis is presented. The standard code for nucleosynthesis is modified to allow for a massive…

Top Production: Sensitivity to New Physics

Christopher T. Hill, Stephen J. Parke

The production cross--section and distributions of the top quark are sensitive to new physics, e.g., the system can be a probe of new resonances or gauge bosons tha…

Solutions to the Wheeler-Dewitt Equation Inspired by the String Effective Action

James E. Lidsey

The Wheeler-DeWitt equation is derived from the bosonic sector of the heterotic string effective action assuming a toroidal compactification. The spatially closed, higher dimension…

Tilting the Primordial Power Spectrum with Bulk Viscosity

James E. Lidsey

Within the context of the cold dark matter model, current observations suggest that inflationary models which generate a tilted primordial power spectrum with negligible gravitatio…

On Identifying the Present-Day Vacuum Energy with the Potential Driving Inflation

Richard A. Frewin, James E. Lidsey

There exists a growing body of observational evidence supporting a non-vanishing cosmological constant at the present epoch. We examine the possibility that such a term may arise d…

Multigluon Helicity Amplitudes Involving a Quark Loop

Gregory Mahlon

We apply the solution to the recursion relation for the double-off-shell quark current to the problem of computing one loop amplitudes with an arbitrary number of gluons. We are ab…

Masses and Decay Constants of Heavy-Light Mesons Using the Multistate Smearing Technique

Anthony Duncan, Estia Eichten, Jonathan M. Flynn +2

We present results for f_B and masses of low-lying heavy-light mesons. Calculations were performed in the quenched approximation using multistate smearing functions generated from…

A Type II Supernovae Constraint on -

Xiangdong Shi, Guenter Sigl

The role of a resonant - oscillation is discussed in the event of a supernova explosion. It is concluded that a significant - mixing may hinder the ability of t…

Direct CP violation in b -> d J/ψdecays

Isard Dunietz, Joao M. Soares

We investigate the possibility of observing direct CP violation in self-tagging B-meson decays of the type b -> d J/ψ. The CP asymmetry can be generated due to strong or electromag…

Halo Cold Dark Matter and Microlensing

Evalyn Gates, Michael S. Turner

There is good evidence that most of the baryons in the Universe are dark and some evidence that most of the matter in the Universe is nonbaryonic with cold dark matter (cdm) being…

Non-Linear Axion Dynamics and Formation of Cosmological Pseudo-Solitons

Edward W. Kolb, Igor I. Tkachev

The -dimensional evolution of an inhomogeneous axion field configuration around the QCD epoch is studied numerically, including important non-linear effects due to the attra…

Quasi-Linear Evolution of Compensated Cosmological Perturbations: The Nonlinear Sigma Model

Andrew H. Jaffe

We consider the evolution of perturbations to a flat FRW universe that arise from a ``stiff source,'' such as a self-ordering cosmic field that forms in a global symmetry-breaking…

New Approach for the Construction of Fermion Mass Matrices in SO(10) SUSY GUTS

Carl H. Albright, Satyanarayan Nandi

A new procedure is developed which enables one to start from the quark and lepton mass and mixing data at the low scale and construct mass matrices which exhibit simple SO(10) stru…

Analysis of Small Scale MBR Anisotropy in the Presence of Foreground Contamination

Scott Dodelson, Albert Stebbins

Many of the current round of experiments searching for anisotropies in the MBR are confronting the problem of how to disentangle the cosmic signal from contamination due to galacti…

Gravitational Radiation from First-Order Phase Transitions

Marc Kamionkowski, Arthur Kosowsky, Michael S. Turner

We consider the stochastic background of gravity waves produced by first-order cosmological phase transitions from two types of sources: colliding bubbles and hydrodynamic turbulen…

The Meaning of Eros/Macho

Michael S. Turner

Most of the mass density in the Universe---and in the halo of our own galaxy---exists in the form of dark matter. Overall, the contribution of luminous matter (in stars) to the mas…

Diffractive Dissociation and Eikonalization in High Energy pp and p Collisions

E. Gotsman, E. M. Levin, U. Maor

We show that eikonal corrections imposed on diffraction dissociation processes calculated in the triple Regge limit, produce a radical change in the energy dependence of the predic…
