Brane Formation and Cosmological Constraint on the Number of Extra Dimensions

Special relativity is generalized to extra dimensions and quantized energy levels of particles are obtained. By calculating the probability of particles' motion in extra dimensions at high temperature of the early universe, it is proposed that the branes may have not existed since the very beginning of the universe, but formed later. Meanwhile, before the formation, particles of the universe may have filled in the whole bulk, not just on the branes. This scenario differs from that in the standard big bang cosmology in which all particles are assumed to be in the 4D spacetime. So, in brane models, whether our universe began from a 4D big bang singularity is questionable. A cosmological constraint on the number of extra dimensions is also given which favors N ≥ 7.     

Noncommutative Inspired Reissner-Nordstrom Black Holes in Large Extra Dimensions

Recently, a new noncommutative geometry inspired solution of the coupled Einstein Maxwell field equations including black holes in 4-dimension is found. In this paper, we generalize some aspects of this model to the Reissner Nordstrom （RN） like geometries with large extra dimensions. We discuss Hawking radiation process based on noncommutative inspired solutions. In this framework, existence of black hole remnant and possibility of its detection in LHC are investigated.     

Implications for Cognitive Quantum Computation and Decoherence Limits in the Presence of Large Extra Dimensions

An interdisciplinary physical theory of emergent consciousness has previously been proposed, stemming from quantum computation-like behavior between 10⁹ or more entangled molecular qubit states (microtubulin). This model relies on the Penrose-Diósi gravity-driven wavefunction collapse framework, and thus is subject to any secondary classical and quantum gravity effects. Specifically, if large extra spatial dimensions exist in the Universe, then the resulting corrections to Newtonian gravity cause this model to suffer serious difficulties. It is shown that if the extra dimensions are larger than 100 fm in size, then this model of consciousness is unphysical. If the dimensions are on the order of 10 fm in size, then a significantly smaller number of microtubulin than originally predicted are required to satisfy experimental constraints. Some speculation on evolution of consciousness is also offered, based on the possibility that the size of these extra dimensions may have been changing over the history of the Universe.

Cascade Processes in Muonic Hydrogen Atoms

The QCMC scheme created earlier for cascade calculations in heavy hadronic atoms of hydrogen isotopes has been modified and applied to the study of cascade processes in the μp muonic hydrogen atoms. The distribution of μp atoms over kinetic energies has been obtained and the yields of K-series X-rays per one stopped muon have been calculated. Comparison with experimental data indicated directly that for muonic and pionic atoms new types of non-radiative transitions are essential, while they are negligible for heavy (kaonic, antiprotonic, etc.) atoms. These processes have been considered and their probabilities have been estimated. This revised version was published online in August 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

Black Hole Hair in Higher Dimensions

We study the property of matter in equilibrium with a static, spherically symmetric black hole in D- dimensional spacetime. It requires that this kind of matter has an equation of state ω≡pr/ρ = -n/（n ＋ 2k）, k, n ∈ N （where n 〉 1 corresponds to a mixture of vacuum matter and ＂hair＂ matter）, which seems to be independent of D. However, when we associate this result with specific models, we find that these hairy black holes can live only in some special dimensional spacetime： （i） D = 2 ＋ 2k/n while the black hole is surrounded by cosmic strings, which requires D is even or D ∈ N, depending on the value of n, this is consistent with some important results in superstring theory, it might reveal the relation between cosmic string and superstring in another aspect; （ii） the black hole can be surrounded by linear dilaton field only in 4-dimensional spacetime. In both cases, D = 4 is special. We also present some examples of such hairy black holes in higher dimensions, including a toy model with negative energy density.     

Extra dimension searches at hadron colliders to next-to-leading order-QCD

The quantitative impact of NLO-QCD corrections for searches of large and warped extra dimensions at hadron colliders are investigated for the Drell-Yan process. The K-factor for various observables at hadron colliders are presented. Factorisation, renormalisation scale dependence and uncertainties due to various parton distribution functions are studied. Uncertainties arising from the error on experimental data are estimated using the MRST parton distribution functions.      

Associated Productions of HZZ and HHZ at Linear Colliders in Large Extra Dimension Model

In this paper we investigate the effects of the large extra dimensions on the two processes e⁺e^-→ H⁰Z⁰Z⁰ and e⁺e^-→ H⁰Z⁰Z⁰ at linear colliders in both unpolarized and polarized collision modes. We find that the virtual Kaluza-Klein graviton exchange can significantly enhance the cross section from their standard model expectations for these two processes. The results show that the LED effect on the process e⁺e^-→ H⁰Z⁰Z⁰ allows the observation limits on the effective scale M_S to be probed up to 9.75 TeV and 10.1 TeV in the unpolarized and +-(λ_e⁺=1/2, λ_e^-=-1/2) polarized beam collision modes (with P_e⁺=0.6, P_e^-=0.8), respectively. For the process e⁺e^-→ H⁰Z⁰Z⁰, these limits on M_S can be probed up to 6.06 TeV and 6.38 TeV in the unpolarized and polarized collision modes separately. We find that the λ_e⁺=1/2, λ_e^-=-1/2 polarization collision mode in both process e⁺e^-→ H⁰Z⁰Z⁰ and e⁺e^-→ H⁰Z⁰Z⁰ may provide a possibility to improve the sensitivity in probing the LED effects.     

利用近红外光谱快速检测牛奶中三聚氰胺的可行性研究

采集了22个合格液态牛奶样品,并制备了50个掺入不同含量三聚氰胺(0.1～1 500 mg·kg-1)的牛奶样品,应用近红外光谱仪扫描其透射光谱,研究利用近红外光谱快速检测牛奶中三聚氰胺的可行性。采用偏最小二乘法建立近红外光谱与牛奶中三聚氰胺含量之间的定量模型,结果表明近红外光谱受检测限的限制,难以准确预测牛奶中掺入的三聚氰胺的含量。而应用近红外光谱,结合判别偏最小二乘法建立定性模型,则可以实现对合格牛奶及掺入三聚氰胺的牛奶的定性鉴别,正确识别率达100%。因此,基于近红外光谱的检测方法可以初步判断牛奶中是否含有三聚氰胺,作为高效液相色谱法的补充,为定量检测做初步的筛查,可大大提高检测效率。     

Brane Cosmology, Varying Speed of Light and Inflation in Models with One or More Extra Dimensions

We summarize the approach to brane cosmology known as mirage cosmology and use it to determine the Friedmann equation on a 3-brane embedded in different bulk spacetimes all with one or more extra dimensions. Usually, when there is more than one extra dimension the junction conditions, central to the usual brane world scenarios, are difficult to apply. This problem does not arise in mirage cosmology because the brane is treated as a test particle in the background spacetime. We discuss in detail the dynamics of a brane embedded in two specific 10D bulk spacetimes, namely Sch-AdS₅ × S₅ and a rotating black hole, and from the dynamics—which are now rather more complicated since the brane can move in all the extra dimensions—determine the new dark fluid terms in the brane Friedmann equation. Some of these, such as the cosmological constant term, are seen to be bulk dependent. We then show explicitly how this mirage cosmology approach matches with the familiar junction condition approach when there is just one extra dimension. The issue of a varying speed of light in mirage cosmology is addressed and we find a scenario in which c _eff always increases, tending asymptotically to c ₀ as the universe expands. Finally some comments are made regarding brane inflation and limitations of the mirage cosmology approach are also discussed.     

Graviton plus vector boson production to NLO in QCD at the LHC

We present the next-to-leading order QCD corrections to the associated production of the vector gauge boson (Z/W^±$Z/W^{\pm }$) and the graviton in the large extra dimension model at the LHC. We estimate the impact of the QCD corrections on the total cross sections as well as the differential distributions of the gauge bosons and find that they are significant. We also study the dependence of the cross sections on the arbitrary factorization scale and show the reduction in the scale uncertainties at NLO level. Further, we discuss the ultraviolet sensitivity of the theoretical predictions.     

Optical Emission of Molecular Hydrogen in a Recombining Hydrogen Plasma

We observed optical emission of molecular hydrogen in a recombining hydrogen plasma with an electron temperature of 0.1 eV and an electron density of 3 × 10¹²cm^–3. The optical emission intensities of molecular hydrogen in the recombining plasma were roughly 10%–45% of those in an ionizing plasma with an electron temperature of 4 eV. The ratio was greater for a transition line originated from an excited state with a larger vibrational quantum number. Because of the low electron temperature of 0.1 eV, the production processes of excited states are not considered electron impact excitation in the recombining plasma. Possible recombination processes are discussed which produce excited states of molecular hydrogen in the recombining plasma (© 2012 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)

Laser-Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy: An Approach to Detect Adulteration in Turmeric

In the present paper, four turmeric samples, A, B, C, and D, were analyzed using the laser-induced breakdown spectroscopic (LIBS) technique. Laser-induced breakdown spectra of A, B, and C give the spectral lines of elements such as carbon, sodium, potassium, magnesium, calcium, iron, and molecular bands of CN, whereas spectral signatures of the toxic elements lead and chromium are also present in sample D, demonstrating the adulteration in it. Principal component analysis of the LIBS data of the turmeric samples has been used for instant discrimination. The plots and principal components provide clusters belonging to two groups, enabling laser-induced breakdown spectroscopic data along with principal component analysis to be used as an instant monitoring tool.

Experiment to measure the Lamb shift in muonic hydrogen

The contribution of the root mean square (RMS) proton charge radius to the Lamb shift (2S–2P energy difference) in muonic hydrogen (μp) amounts to 2%. Apart from the uncertainty on this charge radius, theory predicts the Lamb shift with a precision on the ppm level. We are going to measure ΔE (2 S_1/2(F=1)–2 P_3/2(F=2)) in a laser resonance experiment to a precision of 30 ppm (i.e., 10% of the natural linewidth) and to deduce the RMS proton charge radius with 10⁻³ relative accuracy, 20 times more precise than presently known. The most important requirement for the feasibility of such an experiment, namely the availability of a sufficient amount of long lived metastable μp atoms in the 2S state, has been investigated in a recent experiment at PSI. Our analysis shows that in the order of one percent of all muons stopped in low pressure hydrogen gas form a long lived μp(2S) with a lifetime of the order of 1 μs. The technical realization of our experiment involves a new high intensity low energy muon beam, an efficient low energy muon entrance detector, a randomly triggered 3 stage laser system providing the 0.5 mJ, 7 ns laser pulses at 6.02 μm wavelength, and a combination of a xenon gas proportional scintillation chamber (GPSC) and a microstrip gas chamber (MSGC) with a CsI coated surface to detect the 2 keV X rays from theμp(2P → 1S) transition.

Using short pulses to enhance the production rate of vibrationally excited hydrogen molecules in hydrogen discharge

Hydrogen discharges driven by the combined radio-frequency(rf)/short pulse sources are investigated using the particle-in-cell method.The simulation results show that the discharge driven additionally by the short pulse can enhance the electron density and modulate the electron energy to provide a better condition for negative hydrogen ion production than the discharge driven by the rf-only source.
