Combining Complex and Radial Slave Boson Fields within the Kotliar–Ruckenstein Representation of Correlated Impurities

The gauge symmetry group of any slave boson representation allows to gauge away the phase of bosonic fields. One benefit of this radial field formulation is the elimination of spurious Bose condensations when saddle-point approximation is performed. Within the Kotliar–Ruckenstein representation, three of the four bosonic fields can be radial while the last one has to remain complex. In this work, the procedure to carry out the functional integration involving constrained fermionic fields, complex bosonic fields, and radial bosonic fields is presented. The correctness of the representation is verified by exactly evaluating the partition function and the Green's function of the Hubbard model in the atomic limit.     

Pair production of neutral Higgs bosons from the left-right twin Higgs model via γγ collisions

The left-right twin Higgs (LRTH) model predicts the existence of the neutral Higgs bosons (h, Φ⁰), which can be produced in pairs (Φ⁰Φ⁰, hh, Φ⁰h) via γγ collisions at the next generation e⁺e^- International Linear Collider (ILC). Our numerical results show that the production cross section of the neutral Higgs boson pair Φ⁰Φ⁰ can reach 8.8 fb. The subprocess γγ→Φ⁰Φ⁰ might be used to test the LRTH model in future ILC experiments.     

Effective two-mode description of a few ultra-cold bosons in a double-well potential

We present a construction of an improved two-mode model for modeling the dynamics of interacting ultra-cold bosons confined in a one-dimensional double well trap. Unlike in the typically used two-mode model based on the lowest single-particle eigenstates of the external potential, the improved model uses a basis of properly chosen effective wave functions originating in the many-body model. Accuracy of the improved model is examined and it is shown that within a certain limit of inter-particle interaction strength, the model recovers an exact evolution of the wells' populations much more closely than the traditional two-mode model.     

Influence of the weakly interacting light U boson on the properties of massive protoneutron stars

Considering the octet baryons in relativistic mean field theory and selecting entropy per baryon S=l,we calculate and discuss the influence of U bosons on the equation of state,mass-radius,moment of inertia and gravitational redshift of massive protoneutron stars(PNSs).The effective coupling constant gu of U bosons and nucleons is selected from 0 to 70 GeV~(-2).The results indicate that U bosons will stiffen the equation of state(EOS).The influence of U bosons on the pressure is more obvious at low density than high density,while the influence of U bosons on the energy density is more obvious at high density than low density.The U bosons play a significant role in increasing the maximum mass and radius of PNS.When the value of gu changes from 0 to 70 GeV~(-2),the maximum mass of a massive PNS increases from 2.11M_⊙ to 2.58M_⊙,and the radius of a PNS corresponding to PSR J0348+0432 increases from 13.71 km to 24.35 km.The U bosons will increase the moment of inertia and decrease the gravitational redshift of a PNS.For the PNS of the massive PSR J0348+0432,the radius and moment of inertia vary directly with gu,and the gravitational redshift varies approximately inversely with gu.     

Study on the Effects of the Light CP-odd Higgs via the Leptonic Decays of Pseudoscalar Mesons

To explain the anomalously large decay rate of Σ⁺→p+μ⁺μ^-, it was proposed that a new mechanism where a light CP-odd pseudoscalar boson of m_A1⁰=214.3 MeV makes a crucial contribution. Later, some authors have studied the transition π⁰→ e⁺e^- and r → γA₁⁰ in terms of the same mechanism and their result indicates that with the suggested mass one cannot fit the data. This discrepancy might be caused by experimental error of Σ⁺→ p+μ⁺μ^- because there were only a few events. Whether the mechanism is a reasonable one motivates us to investigate the transitions π⁰→ e⁺e^-;η(η')→ μ⁺μ^-; η_c→ μ⁺μ^-; η_b→τ⁺τ^- within the same framework. It is noted that for π⁰→ e⁺e^-, the standard model (SM) prediction is smaller than the data, whereas the experimental central value of η→μ⁺μ^- is also above the SM prediction. It means that there should be extra contributions from other mechanisms and the contribution of A₁⁰ may be a possible one. Theoretically calculating the branching ratios of the concerned modes, we would check if we can obtain a universal mass for A₁⁰ which reconcile the theoretical predictions and data for all the modes. Unfortunately, we find that it is impossible to have such a mass with the same coupling |gl|. Therefore we conclude that the phenomenology does not favor such a light A₁⁰, even though a small window is still open.     

Solitary Excitations of Dipolar Bosons in Optical Lattice under Magnetic Fields

We obtain the multisolitary solutions of the extended Bose-Hubbard model which describes dipolar Bose- Einstein condensates in optical lattices under time-dependent magnetic fields, and indicate that the nonlinearity is due to both on-site short-range interactions and also （long-range） dipole-dipole interactions which can act between neighboring sites. The discrete breathers as nonlinear excitations are always oscillatory in time and can also be spatially localized, while the oscillatory frequencies are determined by an external field. We show that these excitations will be observable and discuss how the parameters can be tuned in future experiments.     

Littlest Higgs Model and Higgs Boson Associated Production with Top Quark Pair at High Energy Linear e+e- Collider

In the parameter space allowed by the electroweak precision measurement data, we consider the contributions of the new particles predicted by the littlest Higgs model to the Higgs boson associated production with top quark pair in the future high energy linear e⁺e^- collider (ILC). We find that the contributions mainly come from the new gauge bosons Z_H and B_H. For reasonable values of the free parameters, the absolute value of the relative correction parameter δσ/σ^SM can be significanly large, which might be observed in the future ILC experiment with √{S}=800 GeV.
