Heavy SUSY Higgs bosons at e + e − linear colliders

The production mechanisms and decay modes of the heavy neutral and charged Higgs bosons in the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model are investigated at future e ⁺ e ^? colliders in the TeV energy regime. We generate supersymmetric particle spectra by requiring the MSSM Higgs potential to produce correct radiative electroweak symmetry breaking, and we assume a common scalar mass m₀, gaugino mass m_1/2 and trilinear coupling A, as well as gauge and Yukawa coupling unification at the Grand Unification scale. Particular emphasis is put on the low tan β solution in this scenario where decays of the Higgs bosons to Standard Model particles compete with decays to supersymmetric charginos/neutralinos as well as sfermions. In the high tan β case, the supersymmetric spectrum is either too heavy or the supersymmetric decay modes are suppressed, since the Higgs bosons decay almost exclusively into b and τ pairs. The main production mechanisms for the heavy Higgs particles are the associated AH production and H ⁺H^? pair production with cross sections of the order of a few fb.     

Nonsymmetric Kaluza-Klein and Jordan-Thiry theory in a general non-Abelian case

This paper is devoted to an (n+4)-dimensional unification of NGT (nonsymmetric gravitation theory) and Yang-Mills theory in a Jordan-Thiry manner. We find interference effects between gravitational and Yang-Mills fields which appear to be due to the skew-symmetric part of the metric on the (n+4)-dimensional manifold (nonsymmetrically metrized principal fiber bundle). Our unification, called the nonsymmetric-non-Abelian Jordan-Thiry theory, becomes classical if the skew-symmetric part of the metric is zero. We find the Yang-Mills field Lagrangian up to the second order of approximation inh =g – . We also deal with the Lagrangian for the scalar field (connected to the gravitational constant). We consider the spin content of the theory and a relationship between the cosmological constant and the coupling constant between the skewon field and the gauge field in the first order of approximation. We show how to derive a dielectric model of a confinement from interference effects in these theories. We underline some similarities between the nonsymmetric Jordan-Thiry Lagrangian in the flat space limit and the soliton bag model Lagrangian.     

Additivity of theHammett reaction constants ion pairs effect in the polarographic reduction of nitrobenzene and 9,10-anthraquinone derivatives

An attempt has been made to estimate the effect of the subsequent ion pairs formation on the value of theHammett reaction constant measured polarographically. To this purpose, the reduction ofpara-substituted nitrobenzenes and 2-substituted 9,10-anthraquinones was studied at a dropping mercury electrode in N,N-dimethylformamide. The ion pairs reaction constant of substituted nitrobenzene radical anions with tetraethylammonium cations is equal to –1.49 V/ unit. The corresponding reaction constant for the semiquinone—Li⁺ series was estimated to be –0.90 V/ unit. The method of calculation was based on the additivity rule withinHammett's treatment.

Zur Additivität derHammet'schen Reaktionskonstanten. Paar-Effekte bei der polarographischen Reduktion von Nitrobenzol und 9,10-Anthrachinonderivaten

Zusammenfassung Es wurde eine Abschätzung des Effekts der nachfolgenden Ionenpaarbildung auf den polarographisch bestimmten Wert derHammet'schen Reaktionskonstanten versucht. Dazu wurde die Reduktion vonpara-substituierten Nitrobenzolen und 2-substituierten 9,10-Anthrachinonen an der tropfenden Quecksilberelektrode in N,N-Dimethylformamid untersucht. Die Ionenpaar-Reaktionskonstanten von substituierten Nitrobenzol-Radikalanionen mit Tetraethylammoniumkationen ist gleich –1.49 V/-Einheiten. Die ents prechende Reaktionskonstante für die Semichinon-Li⁺ Serie wurde mit –0.9 V/-Einheiten abgeschätzt. Die Berechnungsmethode basiert auf der Additivitätsregel derHammet'schen Reaktionskonstanten.

     

Flotation-spectrophotometric determination of rhodium using stannous chloride and Rhodamine 6G

Summary The conditions for the formation of a rhodium compound with tin(II) and Rhodamine 6G, in HCl medium, and their flotation with organic solvents of low polarity have been examined. The effect of the organic solvent on the flotation has been observed. The compound with Rhodamine 6G, separated and washed, is dissolved in acetone. The acetone solution is a basis of the developed sensitive and precise flotation-spectrophotometric method. The molar absorptivity in this method is 4.0×10⁵ at 530 nm. Beer's law is obeyed in the concentration range 0.04–0.5g Rh/ml. The components molar ratios in the isolated compound were determined, and the formula [(R6G⁺)₃Rh(SnCl₃ ^–)₄]·[(R6G⁺)(SnCl₃ ^–)] was proposed. The effect of the other platinum metals on the determination of rhodium with Rhodamine 6G was examined.

Flotation und spektrophotometrische Bestimmung von Rhodium mit Zinn(II)cblorid und Rhodamin 6G

Zusammenfassung Die Bildung einer Rhodiumverbindung mit Sn(II) und Rhodamin 6G in salzsaurem Medium und deren Flotation mit organischen Lösungsmitteln geringer Polarität wurden untersucht. Der Einfluß des organischen Lösungsmittels auf die Flotation ist sicher. Die Verbindung mit Rhodamin 6G wurde abgetrennt, gewaschen und in Aceton gelöst. Diese Lösung bietet die Grundlage für die ausgearbeitete genaue spektrophotometrische Methode. Die molare Absorptivität beträgt 4,0×10⁵ bei 530 nm. Im Konzentrationsbereich 0,04–0,5g Rh/ml wird das Beersche Gesetz befolgt. Die Bestimmung des Verhältnisses der Komponenten ergab als Formel [(R6G⁺)₃Rh(SnCl₃ ^–)₄]·[(R6G⁺)(SnCl₃ ^–)]. Der Einfluß anderer Platinmetalle auf die vorgeschlagene Bestimmungsmethode wurde untersucht.
