Rotating Black Holes/Rings at Future Colliders

Daisuke Ida, Kin-ya Oda, Seong Chan Park

The hierarchy between the electroweak and Planck scales can be reduced when the extra dimensions are compactified with large volume or with warped geometry, resulting in the fundam…

B_s-B_s-bar mixing in an SO(10) SUSY GUT model

Sebastian Jager, Ulrich Nierste

We perform a renormalisation group analysis of the SO(10) model proposed by Chang, Masiero and Murayama, which links the large atmospheric neutrino mixing angle to loop-induced tra…

Structure of the Nucleon

M. Göckeler, T. R. Hemmert, R. Horsley +5

Generalized parton distributions provide information on the longitudinal and transverse distribution of partons in the fast moving nucleon. Furthermore, they contain information on…

B -> pi pi, New Physics in B -> pi K and Implications for Rare K and B Decays

Andrzej J. Buras, Robert Fleischer, Stefan Recksiegel +1

The measured B -> pi pi, pi K branching ratios exhibit puzzling patterns. We point out that the B -> pi pi hierarchy can be nicely accommodated in the Standard Model (SM) through n…

Chiral Perturbation Theory in a Nuclear Background

L. Girlanda, A. Rusetsky, W. Weise

We propose a novel way to formulate Chiral Perturbation Theory in a nuclear background, characterized by a static, non-uniform distribution of the baryon number that describes the…

The Top--Down Interpretation of Ultra--High Energy Cosmic Rays

Manuel Drees

The origin of Ultra--High Energy ($E \gsim 10^{20}$ eV) Cosmic Rays (UHECR) remains mysterious. I discuss ``top--down'' models, where UHECR originate from the decay of very massive…

Analysis of CP Violation in Neutralino Decays to Tau Sleptons

S. Y. Choi, M. Drees, B. Gaissmaier +1

In the minimal supersymmetric standard model, tau sleptons and neutralinos are expected to be among the lightest supersymmetric particles that c…

Quasiparticle Description of Hot QCD at Finite Quark Chemical Potential

M. A. Thaler, R. A. Schneider, W. Weise

We study the extension of a phenomenologically successful quasiparticle model that describes lattice results of the equation of state of the deconfined phase of QCD for Tc <= T < 4…

Two-photon decays of pi^0, eta and eta-prime

B. Borasoy, R. Nissler

We investigate the decays of pi^0, eta and eta-prime into two photons in an effective U(3) chiral Lagrangian approach without employing large N_c arguments. Tree level and one-loop…

Minimal Flavour Violation

Andrzej J. Buras

These lectures give a description of models with minimal flavour violation (MFV) that can be tested in and meson decays. This class of models can be formulated to a very go…

Why a long-lived fireball can be compatible with HBT measurements

Thorsten Renk

The common interpretation of HBT data measured at top SPS energies leads to apparent source lifetimes of 6-8 fm/c and emission duration of approximately 2-3 fm/c. We investigate a…

Understanding CP phase-dependent measurements at neutrino superbeams in terms of bi-rate graphs

Walter Winter

We discuss the impact of the true value of the CP phase on the mass hierarchy, CP violation, and CP precision measurements at neutrino superbeams and related experiments. We we use…

More Model-Independent Analysis of b->s Processes

G. Hiller, F. Krüger

We study model-independently the implications of non-standard scalar and pseudoscalar interactions for the decays b ->s gamma, b -> s g, b -> s l^+l^- (l=e,mu) and B_s -> mu^+ mu^-…

The Higgs Penguin and its Applications : An overview

Athanasios Dedes

We review the effective Lagrangian of the Higgs penguin in the Standard Model and its minimal supersymmetric extension (MSSM). As a master application of the Higgs penguin, we disc…

Status of three-neutrino oscillations after the SNO-salt data

M. Maltoni, T. Schwetz, M. A. Tortola +1

We perform a global analysis of neutrino oscillation data in the framework of three neutrinos, including the recent improved measurement of the neutral current events at SNO. In ad…

The B -> pi K Puzzle and its Relation to Rare B and K Decays

Andrzej J. Buras, Robert Fleischer, Stefan Recksiegel +1

The Standard-Model interpretation of the ratios of charged and neutral B-> pi K rates, R_c and R_n, respectively, points towards a puzzling picture. Since these observables are aff…
