Probing lepton flavour violation in slepton NLSP scenarios

Koichi Hamaguchi, Alejandro Ibarra

In supersymmetric models where the gravitino is the lightest superparticle, the next-to-lightest superparticle (NLSP) is long-lived, and hence could be collected and studied in det…

The Baryon asymmetry in the Standard Model with a low cut-off

Dietrich Bodeker, Lars Fromme, Stephan J. Huber +1

We study the generation of the baryon asymmetry in a variant of the standard model, where the Higgs field is stabilized by a dimension-six interaction. Analyzing the one-loop poten…

Diquark-Antidiquarks with Hidden or Open Charm and the Nature of X(3872)

L. Maiani, F. Piccinini, A. D. Polosa +1

Heavy-light diquarks can be the building blocks of a rich spectrum of states which can accommodate some of the newly observed charmonium-like resonances not fitting a pure c-cbar a…

Cosmic Acceleration and the String Coupling

John Ellis, N. E. Mavromatos, D. V. Nanopoulos

In the context of a cosmological string model describing the propagation of strings in a time-dependent Robertson-Walker background space-time, we show that the asymptotic accelera…

A Covariant Action with a Constraint and Feynman Rules for Fermions in Open Superstring Field Theory

Yoji Michishita

In a way analogous to type IIB supergravity, we give a covariant action for the fermion field supplemented with a constraint which should be imposed on equations of motion, in Berk…

High-energy proton induced damage in Lead Tungstate calorimeter crystals

M. Huhtinen, P. Lecomte, D. Luckey +2

Eight production quality PbWO4 crystals of CMS have been irradiated in a 20 GeV/c proton beam up to fluences of 5.4E13cm-2. The damage recovery in these crystals has been followed…

Electroweak Precision Observables in the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model

S. Heinemeyer, W. Hollik, G. Weiglein

The current status of electroweak precision observables in the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM) is reviewed. We focus in particular on the boson mass, M_W, the effe…

The FLUKA Monte Carlo, non-perturbative QCD and Cosmic Ray cascades

G. Battistoni, A. Fassò, A. Ferrari +2

The FLUKA Monte Carlo code, presently used in cosmic ray physics, contains packages to sample soft hadronic processes which are built according to the Dual Parton Model. This is a…

Super-Cerenkov Radiation: A new phenomenon useful for RICH Detectors

D. B. Ion, M. L. Ion

In this contribution the Super-Cerenkov radiation (SCR) as a new phenomenon which includes in a more general and exact form the usual Cerenkov effect is presented. The Super-Cerenk…

Scalar potential for the gauged Heisenberg algebra and a non-polynomial antisymmetric tensor theory

Riccardo D'Auria, Sergio Ferrara, Mario Trigiante +1

We study some issues related to the effective theory of Calabi-Yau compactifications with fluxes in Type II theories. At first the scalar potential for a generic electric abelian g…

Maximizing the spin correlation of top quark pairs produced at the LHC

Peter Uwer

The measurement of top quark spin correlation is an important tool for precise studies of top quark interactions. In this letter I construct a quantization axis maximizing the spin…

A Cannonball Model of Cosmic Rays

A. De Rujula

I outline a "Cannon-Ball" model of Cosmic Rays in which their distribution in the Galaxy, their total "luminosity", the broken power-law spectra with their observed slopes, the pos…

Plaquette expectation value and gluon condensate in three dimensions

A. Hietanen, K. Kajantie, M. Laine +2

In three dimensions, the gluon condensate of pure SU(3) gauge theory has ultraviolet divergences up to 4-loop level only. By subtracting the corresponding terms from lattice measur…

Mulit-Photon Events with Large Missing energy in e+e- collisions at sqrt(s)=192-209 GeV

The OPAL collaboration, G. Abbiendi

Events with a final state consisting of two or more photons and large missing transverse energy have been observed in e+e- collisions at centre-of-mass energies in the range 192 -…

Worldlines on Orbifolds and the Fayet-Iliopoulos Term

Felix Bruemmer, Michael G. Schmidt, Zurab Tavartkiladze

We adapt ``string-inspired'' worldline techniques to one-loop calculations on orbifolds, in particular on the orbifold. Our method also allows for the treatment of brane-…

Refining the Proof of Planar Equivalence

A. Armoni, M. Shifman, G. Veneziano

We outline a full non-perturbative proof of planar (large-N) equivalence between bosonic correlators in a theory with Majorana fermions in the adjoint representation and one with D…
