Polydoxon Transformations and Scientific Reward in Physics
James D. Wells
We develop a descriptive account of scientific reward in physics based on the concept of the time-dependent Polydoxon, defined as the structured set of empirically viable theories…
The Intrinsic and Extrinsic Hierarchy Problems
James D. Wells
The Hierarchy Problem of elementary particle physics can be divided into two separate problems: the Intrinsic and Extrinsic Hierarchy Problems. The Intrinsic Hierarchy Problem (IHP…
A Bayesian Model of Credence in Low Energy Supersymmetry
Richard Dawid, James D. Wells
We carry out a quantitative Bayesian analysis of the evolution of credences in low energy supersymmetry (SUSY) in light of the most relevant empirical data. The analysis is based o…
Supersymmetry and the positron excess in cosmic rays
G. L. Kane, Lian-Tao Wang, James D. Wells
Recently the HEAT balloon experiment has confirmed an excess of high-energy positrons in cosmic rays. They could come from annihilation of dark matter in the galactic halo. We disc…
Higgsino Cold Dark Matter Motivated by Collider Data
G. L. Kane, James D. Wells
Motivated by the supersymmetric interpretation of the CDF eeγγplus missing energy event and the reported Z->bb excess at LEP, we analyze the Higgsino as a cold dark matter candidat…
Implications of the reported deviations from the standard model for Z->bb and alpha_s
James Daniel Wells, G. L. Kane
If the reported excess (over the standard model prediction) for Z->bb from LEP persists, and is explained by supersymmetric particles in loops, then we show that (1) a superpartner…
