Visions: The coming revolutions in particle physics

We study the branching ratio, CP-violating asymmetry, forward-backward asymmetry and the CP-violating asymmetry in the forward-backward asymmetry for the exclusive decay B → Kτ⁺τ⁻ in the two Higgs doublet model with tree level flavor changing neutral currents (model III). We analyse the dependencies of these quantities on the neutral Higgs boson contributions and the CP parameter sinθ in the model III. We observe that to determine the neutral Higgs boson effects, the measurements of the forward-backward asymmetry and the CP-violating asymmetry in the forward-backward asymmetry for the decay B → Kτ⁺τ⁻ are promising.     

The polysaccharide extracts from the fungi Coprinus comatus and Coprinellus truncorum do exhibit AChE inhibitory activity

The polysaccharide (PSH) extracts from the edible mushroom species Coprinus comatus and Coprinellus truncorum were screened in liquid for their acetylcholinesterase inhibitory (AChE) activity. Both extracts were found to display inhibition of the aforementioned enzyme reaching similar IC₅₀ values of 0.62 ± 0.07 and 0.61 ± 0.03 mg/mL, respectively. According to the means of FTIR spectroscopy, these PSH extracts mostly contained β-glucans. However, the presence of some proteins and polyphenolics as minor ingredients were also detected. Compared with existing literature data for anti-AChE activity of the sugar samples, the findings within this study may be treated as a profound bioactivity. Consequently, this study puts some light on the possible use of the screened macrofungi in the palliative treatment of Alzheimer’s disease.     

Abstract functions with continuous differences and Namioka spaces

Let be a semigroup and a topological space. Let be an Abelian topological group. The right differences of a function are defined by for . Let be continuous at the identity of for all in a neighbourhood of . We give conditions on or range under which is continuous for any topological space . We also seek conditions on under which we conclude that is continuous at for arbitrary . This led us to introduce new classes of semigroups containing all complete metric and locally countably compact quasitopological groups. In this paper we study these classes and explore their relation with Namioka spaces.

     

The identification of tricyclic neuroleptics and sulphonamides by high-performance thin-layer chromatography

Circular high-performance thin-layer chromatography (HPTLC) has been used to differentiate a series of twelve tricyclic neuroleptics, using both normal phase and reverse phase procedures. The use of normal phase systems also allows the resolution of geometric isomers of chlorprothixene, clopenthixol and flupenthixol. Thirteen sulphonamides and Trirnethoprim may also be distinguished using HPTLC.

On bifurcation points of a complex polynomial

Let be a polynomial of degree . Assume that the set there is a sequence s.t. and is finite. We prove that the set of generalized critical values of (hence in particular the set of bifurcation points of ) has at most points. Moreover, We also compute the set effectively.

     

xF_3^{\gamma Z} in charged lepton scattering

Measurements of the structure function are now becoming available in charged lepton deep inelastic scattering at HERA. The correction factors which are necessary to compare these with measurements of in neutrino-nucleon scattering are deduced and a comparison is made between the H1 and the CCFR data. A sum rule is derived for the structure function measured in charged lepton scattering which is the analogue of the Gross Llewellyn-Smith sum rule for neutrino-nucleon scattering.     

Hadronic vacuum polarization contribution to the Lamb shift in muonic hydrogen

We report on the accuracy of the measurement of the total cross section of the process e⁺e^– ZH and of the Higgs boson mass that would be achieved in a linear collider operating at a centre-of-mass energy of 350 GeV, assuming an integrated luminosity of 500 fb^–1. For that we have exploited the recoil mass off the Z using its leptonic decays into electron and muon pairs. The Higgs mass is determined with 150 MeV accuracy, the recoil mass resolution is about 1.5 GeV and the cross section is obtained with a statistical error of 3%.     

Branching Fraction Measurements of the SM Higgs with a Mass of 160 GeV at Future Linear e + e − Colliders

Assuming an integrated luminosity of 500 fb^–1 and a center-of-mass energy of 350 GeV, we examine the prospects for measuring branching fractions of a Standard Model-like Higgs boson with a mass of 160 GeV at the future linear e⁺e^–collider TESLA when the Higgs boson is produced via the Higgsstrahlung mechanism, e⁺e^– HZ. The Higgs boson mass chosen close to the W pair threshold covers a mass regime with complicated background structures. We study in detail including some detector responds the precisions achievable for the branching fractions of the Higgs boson into WW^(*), ZZ^* and , whereas the measurement of BF(H ) remains a great challenge. Expectations for the total Higgs width are discussed using either the BF(Z ZZ^*) measurement of this study and the expected error for the inclusive Higgsstrahlung cross section or in addition the precise cross section expected for the weak boson fusion process, e⁺e^– v H, or W,Z-universality.
