Pseudoscalar Conversion and X-rays from the Sun
Eric D. Carlson, Li-Sheng Tseng
We investigate the detection of a pseudoscalar that couples electromagnetically via an interaction . In particular, we focus on the conversion of pseu…
Could There Be Something Rather Than Nothing?
W. D. Garretson, E. D. Carlson
There is increasing evidence that the universe may have a small cosmological constant. We suggest a scheme for naturally generating a small cosmological constant. Our idea requires…
The Breaking of the SU(3)^3 Gauge Group
Meng Y. Wang, Eric D. Carlson
We discuss why the SU(3)^3 supersymmetric model with the most general superpotential can naturally break to the standard model if gauge singlets and a discrete symmetry are include…
Trinification and the Strong P Problem
Eric D. Carlson, Meng Yuan Wang
Models with spontaneously broken parity symmetry can solve the strong problem in a natural way. We construct such a model in the context of $\SU3^3$ unification. Parity has th…
Will discrete symmetries help solve the hierarchy problem ?
Meng Y. Wang, Eric D. Carlson
We find that massless Higgs doublets at the GUT scale can be the natural result of a discrete symmetry. Such a mechanism does not require elaborate fine tuning or complicated parti…
Two Stage Phase Transition in Two Higgs Models
David Land, Eric Carlson
We present a mechanism in which models with two Higgs fields can undergo a two stage phase transition as the temperature falls. The first stage is a conventional second order (or w…
