Consequences of kinetic non-equilibrium for the nuclear equation-of-state in heavy ion collision

C. Fuchs, T. Gaitanos

Highly compressed nuclear matter created in relativistic heavy collisions is to large extent governed by local non-equilibrium. As an idealized scenario colliding nuclear matter co…

Decoherence and gate performance of coupled solid state qubits

Markus J. Storcz, Frank K. Wilhelm

Solid state quantum bits are promising candidates for the realization of a {\em scalable} quantum computer. However, they are usually strongly limited by decoherence due to the man…

Four-Zero Texture of Hermitian Quark Mass Matrices and Current Experimental Tests

Harald Fritzsch, Zhi-zhong Xing

We show that the four-zero texture of Hermitian quark mass matrices can survive current experimental tests: it is able to yield sufficiently large predictions for the flavor mixing…

Variational charge renormalization in charged systems

Roland R. Netz, Henri Orland

We apply general variational techniques to the problem of the counterion distribution around highly charged objects where strong condensation of counterions takes place. Within a f…

Two-Loop Results for M_W in the Standard Model and the MSSM

Ayres Freitas, Sven Heinemeyer, Georg Weiglein

Recent higher-order results for the prediction of the W-boson mass, M_W, within the Standard Model are reviewed and an estimate of the remaining theoretical uncertainties of the el…

The Higgs Boson Masses of the Complex MSSM: A Complete One-Loop Calculation

M. Frank, S. Heinemeyer, W. Hollik +1

In the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model with complex parameters (cMSSM) we perform a complete one-loop calculation for the Higgs boson masses (including the momentum dependenc…

The photon-neutrino interaction in non-commutative gauge field theory and astrophysical bounds

Peter Schupp, Josip Trampetic, Julius Wess +1

In this letter we propose a possible mechanism of left- and right-handed neutrino couplings to photons, which arises quite naturally in non-commutative gauge field theory. We estim…

Towards High-Precision Predictions for the MSSM Higgs Sector

G. Degrassi, S. Heinemeyer, W. Hollik +2

The status of the evaluation of the MSSM Higgs sector is reviewed. The phenomenological impact of recently obtained corrections is discussed. In particular it is shown that the upp…

Nonlinear cotunneling through an artificial molecule

Udo Hartmann, Frank K. Wilhelm

We study electron transport through a system of two lateral quantum dots coupled in series. We consider the case of weak coupling to the leads and a bias point in the Coulomb block…

Probing the Friedmann equation during recombination with future CMB experiments

Oliver Zahn, Matias Zaldarriaga

We show that by combining measurements of the temperature and polarization anisotropies of the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB), future experiments will tightly constrain the expa…

Regional averaging and scaling in relativistic cosmology

Thomas Buchert, Mauro Carfora

Averaged inhomogeneous cosmologies lie at the forefront of interest, since cosmological parameters like the rate of expansion or the mass density are to be considered as volume-ave…

Status of Electroweak Corrections to Top Pair Production

J. Fleischer, A. Leike, T. Riemann +1

We review the status of electroweak radiative corrections to top-pair production at a Linear Collider well above the production threshold. We describe the Fortran package topfit an…
