    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

    I briefly review the cosmological constant problem and attempts toward its solution, and present the first nontrivial example for the self-tuning mechanism with a 1/H21/H^2 term with the antisymmetric field strength HMNPQH_{MNPQ} in a 5D RS-II setup.Comment: Latex file of 9 pages.

    Towards unity of families: anti-SU(7) from Z(12-I) orbifold compactification

    Get PDF
    The problem of families, "Why are there three families of fermions?", is a long awaited question to be answered within a reasonable framework. We propose anti-SU(NN) groups for the unification of families in grand unification (GUT) groups, where the separation of color and weak gauge groups in the GUT is achieved by antisymmetric tensor Brout-Englert-Higgs boson instead of an adjoint representation. Theories of anti-SU(NN)'s are proposed for the unification of families. The minimal model is found as \antiSD \, GUT with the fermion representation [3]+2[2]+8[\bar-1]. We present an example in a Z(12-I) orbifold compactification, where the missing partner mechanism is also realized.Comment: 24 page

    Axionic domain wall number related to U(1)anom_{\rm anom} global symmetry

    Get PDF
    The QCD axion with faf_a at an intermediate scale, 10**9-10**12 GeV, seems in conflict with the gravity spoil of global symmetries and may face the axionic domain wall problem. We point out that the string compactifications with an anomalous U(1) gauge symmetry, allowing desirable chiral matter spectra, circumvent these two problems simultaneously.Comment: 8 pages, 2 figure
