Measurement of Lepton Momentum Moments in the Decay bar{B} \to X \ell \barν and Determination of Heavy Quark Expansion Parameters and |V_cb|

A. H. Mahmood

We measure the primary lepton momentum spectrum in B-bar to X l nu decays, for p_l > 1.5 GeV/c in the B rest frame. From this, we calculate various moments of the spectrum. In part…

Absolute neutrino mass update

Heinrich Päs, Thomas J. Weiler

The determination of absolute neutrino masses is crucial for the understanding of theories underlying the standard model, such as SUSY. We review the experimental prospects to dete…

Decay of High-Energy Astrophysical Neutrinos

John F. Beacom, Nicole F. Bell, Dan Hooper +2

Existing limits on the non-radiative decay of one neutrino to another plus a massless particle (e.g., a singlet Majoron) are very weak. The best limits on the lifetime to mass rati…

Construction of multi-instantons in eight dimensions

Roman V. Buniy, Thomas W. Kephart

We consider an eight-dimensional local octonionic theory with the seven-sphere playing the role of the gauge group. Duality conditions for two- and four-forms in eight dimensions a…

Excited-state relaxations and Franck-Condon shift in Si quantum dots

A. Franceschetti, S. T. Pantelides

Excited-state relaxations in molecules are responsible for a red shift of the absorption peak with respect to the emission peak (Franck-Condon shift). The magnitude of this shift i…
