We study CP-sensitive observables in the neutralino production

We motivate, propose and examine a new set of benchmark supersymmetric scenarios, some of which have non-universal Higgs scalar
masses (NUHM) and others have gravitino dark matter (GDM). The scalar masses in these proposed models are either considerably
larger or smaller than the narrow range allowed for the same gaugino mass m1/2 in the constrained MSSM (CMSSM) with universal scalar masses m0 and neutralino dark matter. Unlike the CMSSM, the proposed NUHM and GDM models with larger m0 may have large branching ratios for Higgs and/or Z production in the cascade decays of heavier sparticles, whose detection
we discuss. The novel phenomenology of the GDM models depends on the nature of the next-to-lightest supersymmetric particle
(NLSP), which has a lifetime exceeding 104 s in the proposed benchmark scenarios. In one GDM scenario the NLSP is the lightest neutralino χ, and the supersymmetric
collider signatures are similar to those in previous CMSSM benchmarks, but with a distinctive spectrum that would be challenging
for the LHC and ILC. In the other GDM scenarios based on minimal supergravity (mSUGRA), the NLSP is the lighter stau slepton
, with a lifetime between ∼104 and 3×106 s. Every supersymmetric cascade would end in a , which would have a distinctive time-of-flight signature. Slow-moving ’s might be trapped in a collider detector or outside it, and the preferred detection strategy would depend on the lifetime. We discuss the extent to which these mSUGRA GDM scenarios could be distinguished from gauge-mediated models. 相似文献

We compute the one-loop

for the real four-dimensional duality-covariant non-commutative
-model, which is renormalisable to all orders. The contribution from the one-loop four-point function is reduced by the one-loop wavefunction renormalisation, but the

Resonant active-to-active (
), as well as active-to-sterile (
) neutrino (
) oscillations can take place during the core bounce of a supernova collapse. Besides, over this phase, weak magnetism increases the antineutrino (
) mean free path, and thus its luminosity. Because the oscillation feeds mass-energy into the target
species, the large mass-squared difference between the species (
) implies a huge amount of energy to be given off as gravitational waves (
erg s-1), due to anisotropic but coherent
flow over the oscillation length. This asymmetric
-flux is driven by both the spin-magnetic and the universal spin-rotation coupling. The novel contribution of this paper stems from (1) the new computation of the anisotropy parameter
-0.01, and (2) the use of the tight constraints from neutrino experiments as SNO and KamLAND, and the cosmic probe WMAP, to compute the gravitational-wave emission during neutrino oscillations in supernovae core collapse and bounce. We show that the mass of the sterile neutrino
that can be resonantly produced during the flavor conversions makes it a good candidate for dark matter as suggested by Fuller et al. , Phys. Rev. D 68, 103002 (2003). The new spacetime strain thus estimated is still several orders of magnitude larger than those from
diffusion (convection and cooling) or quadrupole moments of neutron star matter. This new feature turns these bursts into the more promising supernova gravitational-wave signals that may be detected by observatories as LIGO, VIRGO, etc., for distances far out to the VIRGO cluster of galaxies.Received: 26 November 2003, Revised: 26 February 2004, Published online: 3 June 2004 相似文献

We consider the process
at a linear collider with transverse
beam polarization. We investigate the influence of the CP phases on azimuthal asymmetries in
with subsequent two-body decays
and
. We show that triple product correlations involving the transverse
beam polarization vanish if at least one subsequent chargino decay is not observed. We derive this result within the minimal supersymmetric standard model (MSSM) with complex parameters; however, it holds also in the general MSSM with SUSY flavor violation.Received: 29 March 2004, Published online: 30 July 2004 相似文献

In supersymmetric models the misalignment between fermion and sfermion families introduces unsuppressed flavor-changing processes. Even if the mass parameters are chosen to give no flavor violation, family dependent radiative corrections make this adjustment not stable. We analyze the rate of
in SUSY-GUT models with three quasi-degenerate neutrinos and universal scalar masses at the Planck scale. We pay special attention to a recently proposed scenario where the low-energy neutrino mixings are generated from identical quark and lepton mixings at large scales. We show the following. (i) To take universal slepton masses at the GUT scale is a very poor approximation, even in no-scale models. (ii) For large neutrino Yukawa couplings the decay
would be observed in the planned experiment at PSI. (iii) For large values of
the tau coupling gives important corrections, pushing
and
to accessible rates. In particular, the non-observation of these processes in the near future would exclude the scenario with unification of quark and lepton mixing angles. (iv) The absence of lepton flavor violating decays in upcoming experiments would imply a low value of
, small neutrino couplings, and large (
GeV) SUSY-breaking masses. 相似文献

Approximately 438 pb-1 of e + e- data from the OPAL detector, taken with the LEP collider running at centre-of-mass energies of 192-209 GeV, are analyzed to search for evidence of chargino pair production,

Searches for stable, hadronizing scalar quarks and gluinos are performed using the data collected with the ALEPH detector at LEP. Gluon splitting into a gluino or a squark pair is searched for at centre-of-mass energies around the Z resonance, in the e + e-
and
processes. Stable squark pair production, and stop pair production with subsequent decays into a stable gluino,
, are also directly searched for at centre-of-mass energies from 183 to 209 GeV. Altogether, stable hadronizing stop (sbottom) quarks are excluded up to masses of 95 (92)
, and stable hadronizing gluinos are excluded up to 26.9
, at 95% confidence level. In the framework of R-parity-conserving supersymmetric models in which the gluino and the stop quark are the two lightest supersymmetric particles, a 95% C.L. lower limit of 80

We discuss the time-dependent CP asymmetry of the decay
in an extension of the standard model with both a two Higgs doublet and additional fourth-generation quarks. We show that, although the standard model with a two Higgs doublet and the standard model with fourth-generation quarks alone are not likely to largely change the effective
from the decay
, the model with both an additional Higgs doublet and fourth-generation quarks can easily account for the possible large negative value of
without conflicting with other experimental constraints. In this model, additional large CP violating effects may arise from the flavor-changing Yukawa interactions between neutral Higgs bosons and the heavy fourth-generation down type quark, which can modify the QCD penguin contributions. With the constraints obtained from
processes such as
and

A search for lepton-flavor-violating interactions

has been performed with the ZEUS detector using the entire HERA I data sample, corresponding to an integrated luminosity

interactions. For LQ masses below

is the coupling of the LQ to an electron and a first-generation quark q1, and
is the branching ratio of the LQ to the final-state lepton

for LQs that couple to an electron and a quark
and to a lepton

Tau lepton decays with open strangeness in the final state are measured with the OPAL detector at LEP to determine the strange hadronic spectral function of the
lepton. The decays
,
and
with final states consisting of neutral and charged kaons and pions have been studied. The invariant mass distributions of
of these final states have been experimentally determined. Monte Carlo simulations have been used for the remaining
and for the strange final states including
mesons. The reconstructed strange final states, corrected for resolution effects and detection efficiencies, yield the strange spectral function of the
lepton. The moments of the spectral function and the ratio of strange to non-strange moments, which are important input parameters for theoretical analyses, are determined. Furthermore, the branching fractions

In the CP-violating minimal supersymmetric standard model (MSSM), for certain values of the CP-violating phases associated to the universal trilinear couplings (At, Ab) and the gluino mass
, e.g.,
or
, for
GeV and
-5, the lightest Higgs boson mass (
) is
GeV. This mass interval is still allowed by results of standard LEP Higgs searches because of a strongly suppressed H1ZZ coupling. However, in the same region of parameter space in which these two conditions occur, the
coupling is enhanced because the two mentioned sets of couplings satisfy a sum rule. In this paper we probe such a light Higgs scenario at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) by studying
associate production, leading to a
signal. We show that the latter is readily accessible at the CERN hadron collider, upon the application of suitable selection cuts against the standard model (SM) backgrounds. Our parton level Monte Carlo (MC) analysis yields
-45 signal events, completely free of SM background, for
- 30 fb-1 of accumulated luminosity, after taking into account the overall efficiency for tagging four b-jets.Received: 21 February 2005, Published online: 6 July 2005 相似文献
