    Is an axizilla possible for di-photon resonance?

    Heavy axion-like particles, called axizillas, are simple extensions of the standard model(SM). An axizilla is required not to couple to the quarks, leptons, and Brout-Englert-Higgs doublets of the SM, but couple to the gauge anomalies of the W±,ZW^\pm, Z and photon. It is possible to have its branching ratios(BRs) to two photons greater than 10% and to two ZZ's less than 10%. To have a (production cross section)⋅\cdot (BR to di-photons) at a 10−38 cm210^{-38}\,\textrm{cm}^2 level, a TeV scale heavy quark QQ is required for the gluon--quark fusion process. The decay of QQ to axizilla plus quark, and the subsequent decay of the axizilla to two photons can be fitted at the required level of 10−38 cm210^{-38}\,\textrm{cm}^2.Comment: 9 pages of latex file with 3 figure

    R-parity from string compactification

    Get PDF
    In this paper, we embed the Z4R\Z_{4R} parity as a discrete subgroup of a global symmetry \UoR\,obtained from Z12−I\Z_{12-I} compactification of heterotic string \EE8. A part of \UoR\,transformation is the shift of the anticommuting variable ϑ\vartheta to eiαϑe^{i\alpha}\vartheta which necessarily incoorporate the transformation of internal space coordinate. Out of six internal spaces, we identify three U(1)'s whose charges are denoted as Q18,Q20Q_{18},Q_{20}, and Q22Q_{22}. The \UoR~is defined as \UEE×\times\UKK~where \UEE~is the part from \EE8 and \UKK~is the part generated by Q18,Q20Q_{18},Q_{20}, and Q22Q_{22}. We propose a method to define a \UoR~direction. The needed vacuum expectation values for breaking gauge U(1)'s except U(1)Y_Y of the standard model carry \UoR~charge 4 modulo 4 such that \UoR~is broken down to Z4R\Z_{4R} at the grand unification scale. Z4R\Z_{4R} is broken to Z2R\Z_{2R} between the intermediate (\sim 10^{11\,}\gev) and the electroweak scales (100\,\gev\sim 1\,\tev). The conditions we impose are proton longevity, a large top quark mass, and acceptable magnitudes for the μ\mu term and neutrino masses.Comment: 21 pages with 3 figure

    Lifetime Limit of LSP from Cosmological Light Elements

    Get PDF
    From the present cosmic abundance of the light elements, one can obtain a lifetime bounds of LSP. From the consideration of deuterium, we obtain τχ≥106\tau_{\chi} \ge 10^6 s.Comment: Latex file of 5 pages with two eps figures. Talk presented at cosmo-98, Asilomar, CA, Nov., 199

    A Theoretical Review of Axion

    Full text link
    It is emphasized that the existence of a very light axion is consistent with the strong CP invariance and cosmological and astrophysical constraints. The attempt to embed the very light axion in superstring models is discussed.Comment: 11 pages including 3 eps figure
