OPERA data and The Equivalence Postulate of Quantum Mechanics
Alon E. Faraggi
An interpretation of the recent results reported by the OPERA collaboration is that neutrinos propagation in vacuum exceeds the speed of light. It has been further been suggested t…
Leptophobic Z' in Heterotic-String Derived Models
Alon E. Faraggi, Viraf M. Mehta
The CDF collaboration's recent observation of an excess of events in the Wjj channel may be attributed to a new Abelian vector boson with suppressed couplings to leptons. While D0…
Proton Stability and Light Inspired by String Derived Models
Alon E. Faraggi, Viraf M. Mehta
Proton stability is one of the most perplexing puzzles in particle physics. While the renormalizable Standard Model forbids proton decay mediating operators due to accidental globa…
Top Quark Mass in Exophobic Pati--Salam Heterotic String Model
Kyriakos Christodoulides, Alon E. Faraggi, John Rizos
We analyse the phenomenology of an exemplary exophobic Pati-Salam heterotic string vacuum, in which no exotic fractionally charged states exist in the massless string spectrum. Our…
Investigation of Quasi--Realistic Heterotic String Models with Reduced Higgs Spectrum
G. Cleaver, A. E. Faraggi, J. Greenwald +4
Quasi--realistic heterotic-string models in the free fermionic formulation typically contain an anomalous U(1), which gives rise to a Fayet-Iliopolous term that breaks supersymmetr…
Conformal Aspects of Spinor-Vector Duality
Alon E. Faraggi, Ioannis Florakis, Thomas Mohaupt +1
We present a detailed study of various aspects of Spinor-Vector duality in Heterotic string compactifications and expose its origin in terms of the internal conformal field theory.…
