Astrophysical Constraints on Modifying Gravity at Large Distances

A. Aguirre, C. P. Burgess, A. Friedland +1

Recently, several interesting proposals were made modifying the law of gravity on large scales, within a sensible relativistic formulation. This allows a precise formulation of the…

Radion Stabilization by Brane Matter

Benjamin Grinstein, Detlef R. Nolte, Witold Skiba

We find a static solution to Einstein's field equations on a five-dimensional orbifold with a compact S_1/Z_2 fifth direction and Poincare invariant 3+1 sections. The solution desc…

On a Covariant Determination of Mass Scales in Warped Backgrounds

Benjamin Grinstein, Detlef R. Nolte, Witold Skiba

We propose a method of determining masses in brane scenarios which is independent of coordinate transformations. We apply our method to the scenario of Randall and Sundrum (RS) wit…

Adding Matter to Poincare Invariant Branes

Benjamin Grinstein, Detlef R. Nolte, Witold Skiba

A solution to the cosmological constant problem has been proposed in which our universe is a 3-brane in a 5-dimensional spacetime. With a bulk scalar, the field equations admit a P…

A Method For Extracting cosα

Benjamin Grinstein, Detlef R. Nolte, Ira Z. Rothstein

We show that it is possible to extract the weak mixing angle alpha via a measurement of the rate for B^+(-) -> π^+(-) e^+e^-. The sensitivity to cos(alpha) results from the interfe…

Short Distance Analysis of and

David H. Evans, Benjamin Grinstein, Detlef R. Nolte

Over a large fraction of phase space a combination of an operator product and heavy quark expansions effectively turn the decay into a ``short distance''…
