Non-Standard Neutrino Propagation and Pion Decay
Massimo Mannarelli, Manimala Mitra, Francesco Lorenzo Villante +1
Motivated by the findings of the OPERA experiment, we discuss the hypothesis that neutrino propagation does not obey Einstein special relativity. Under a minimal set of modificatio…
Neutrinoless Double Beta Decay: Low Left-Right Symmetry Scale?
Miha Nemevsek, Fabrizio Nesti, Goran Senjanovic +1
Experiments in progress may confirm a nonzero neutrinoless double beta decay rate in conflict with the cosmological upper limit on neutrino masses and thus require new physics beyo…
Bounded-Distance Network Creation Games
Davide Bilò, Luciano Gualà, Guido Proietti
A network creation game simulates a decentralized and non-cooperative building of a communication network. Informally, there are players sitting on the network nodes, which att…
On the vanishing electron-mass limit in plasma hydrodynamics in unbounded media
Donatella Donatelli, Eduard Feireisl, Antonin Novotny
We consider the zero-electron-mass limit for the Navier-Stokes-Poisson system in unbounded spatial domains. Assuming smallness of the viscosity coefficient and ill-prepared initial…
Analysis of Oscillations and Defect Measures for the Quasineutral Limit in Plasma Physics
D. Donatelli, P. Marcati
We perform a rigorous analysis of the quasineutral limit for a hydrodynamical model of a viscous plasma represented by the Navier Stokes Poisson system in . We show that as $λ…
Upper limits on a stochastic gravitational-wave background using LIGO and Virgo interferometers at 600-1000 Hz
J. Abadie, B. P. Abbott, R. Abbott +782
A stochastic background of gravitational waves is expected to arise from a superposition of many incoherent sources of gravitational waves, of either cosmological or astrophysical…
The MGDO software library for data analysis in Ge neutrinoless double-beta decay experiments
M. Agostini, J. A. Detwiler, P. Finnerty +10
The GERDA and Majorana experiments will search for neutrinoless double-beta decay of germanium-76 using isotopically enriched high-purity germanium detectors. Although the experime…
Off-line data processing and analysis for the GERDA experiment
M. Agostini, L. Pandola, P. Zavarise
GERDA is an experiment designed to look for the neutrinoless double beta decay of Ge-76. The experiment uses an array of high-purity germanium detectors, enriched in Ge-76, directl…
Search for signatures of magnetically-induced alignment in the arrival directions measured by the Pierre Auger Observatory
The Pierre Auger Collaboration, P. Abreu, M. Aglietta +496
We present the results of an analysis of data recorded at the Pierre Auger Observatory in which we search for groups of directionally-aligned events (or `multiplets') which exhibit…
Stabilization by switching control methods
Kaïs Ammari, Serge Nicaise, Cristina Pignotti
In this paper we consider some stabilization problems for the wave equation with switching. We prove exponential stability results for appropriate damping coefficients. The proof o…
Spherically Symmetric Solutions in Ghost-Free Massive Gravity
D. Comelli, M. Crisostomi, F. Nesti +1
Recently, a class of theories of massive gravity has been shown to be ghost-free. We study the spherically symmetric solutions in the bigravity formulation of such theories. In gen…
Search for Gravitational Waves from Low Mass Compact Binary Coalescence in LIGO's Sixth Science Run and Virgo's Science Runs 2 and 3
the LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, J. Abadie +796
We report on a search for gravitational waves from coalescing compact binaries using LIGO and Virgo observations between July 7, 2009 and October 20, 2010. We searched for signals…
Molecular fingerprints in the electronic properties of crystalline organic semiconductors: from experiment to theory
S. Ciuchi, R. C. Hatch, H. Höchst +3
By comparing photoemission spectroscopy with a non-perturbative dynamical mean field theory extension to many-body ab initio calculations, we show in the prominent case of pentacen…
FRW Cosmology in Ghost Free Massive Gravity
D. Comelli, M. Crisostomi, F. Nesti +1
We study FRW homogeneous cosmological solutions in the recently found ghost free massive gravity. In previous works it was shown that when the additional extra metric, needed to ge…
First Measurements of Inclusive Muon Neutrino Charged Current Differential Cross Sections on Argon
C. Anderson, M. Antonello, B. Baller +32
The ArgoNeuT collaboration presents the first measurements of inclusive muon neutrino charged current differential cross sections on argon. Obtained in the NuMI neutrino beamline a…
Superluminal group velocity of neutrinos
Antonio Mecozzi, Marco Bellini
We suggest a possible interpretation of the recent observation by the OPERA collaboration of superluminal propagation of neutrinos. We show that it is in principle possible that th…
All-sky Search for Periodic Gravitational Waves in the Full S5 LIGO Data
J. Abadie, B. P. Abbott, R. Abbott +794
We report on an all-sky search for periodic gravitational waves in the frequency band 50-800 Hz and with the frequency time derivative in the range of 0 through -6e-9 Hz/s. Such a…
Consequences of DM/antiDM Oscillations for Asymmetric WIMP Dark Matter
Marco Cirelli, Paolo Panci, Geraldine Servant +1
Assuming the existence of a primordial asymmetry in the dark sector, a scenario usually dubbed Asymmetric Dark Matter (aDM), we study the effect of oscillations between dark matter…

ICARUS Collaboration, M. Antonello, P. Aprili +62
The OPERA collaboration has claimed evidence of superluminal ν{_μ} propagation between CERN and the LNGS. Cohen and Glashow argued that such neutrinos should lose energy by produci…
