Constraining Bilinear R-Parity Violation from Neutrino Masses

We confront the R-parity violating MSSM model with the neutrino oscillation data. Investigating the 1-loop particle-sparticle diagrams with additional bilinear insertions on the external neutrino lines we construct the relevant contributions to the neutrino mass matrix. A comparison of the so-obtained matrices with the experimental ones assuming normal or inverted hierarchy and taking into account possible CP violating phases, allows to set constraints on the values of the bilinear coupling constants. A similar calculation is presented with the input from the Heidelberg-Moscow neutrinoless double beta decay experiment. We base our analysis on the renormalization group evolution of the MSSM parameters which are unified at the GUT scale. Using the obtained bounds we calculate the contributions to the Majorana neutrino transition magnetic moments.Comment: I've decided to move the collection of my papers to arXiv for easier acces

Critical point calculation for binary mixtures of symmetric non-additive hard disks

We have calculated the values of critical packing fractions for the mixtures of symmetric non-additive hard disks. An interesting feature of the model is the fact that the internal energy is zero and the phase transitions are entropically driven. A cluster algorithm for Monte Carlo simulations in a semigrand ensemble was used. The finite size scaling analysis was employed to compute the critical packing fractions for infinite systems with high accuracy for a range of non-additivity parameters wider than in the previous studies.Comment: 8 pages, 4 figure

Extra Dimensions and Neutrinoless Double Beta Decay Experiments

The neutrinoless double beta decay is one of the few phenomena, belonging to the non-standard physics, which is extensively being sought for in experiments. In the present paper the link between the half-life of the neutrinoless double beta decay and theories with large extra dimensions is explored. The use of the sensitivities of currently planned $0\nu2\beta$ experiments: DAMA, CANDLES, COBRA, DCBA, CAMEO, GENIUS, GEM, MAJORANA, MOON, CUORE, EXO, and XMASS, gives the possibility for a non-direct `experimental' verification of various extra dimensional scenarios. We discuss also the results of the Heidelberg--Moscow Collaboration. The calculations are based on the Majorana neutrino mass generation mechanism in the Arkani-Hamed--Dimopoulos--Dvali model.Comment: I've decided to move the collection of my papers to arXiv for easier acces

0ν2β0\nu2\beta Nuclear Matrix Elements and Neutrino Magnetic Moments

We compare different methods of obtaining the neutrinoless double beta decay nuclear matrix elements (NME). On the example of 76Ge we use the NME to calculate the Majorana neutrino transition magnetic moments, generated through particle-sparticle R-parity violating loop diagrams whithin the minimal supersymmetric standard model.Comment: I've decided to move the collection of my papers to arXiv for easier access.

Neutralino Induced Majorana Neutrino Transition Magnetic Moments

We calculate the effect of neutrino-neutralino mixing on the neutrino magnetic moment and compare it with the contribution of pure particle-sparticle loop. We have found that the dominated mechanism is still the bare loop, and that the bilinear insertions on the external neutrino lines contribute at least one order of magnitude weaker.Comment: I've decided to move the collection of my papers to arXiv for easier access.

Neutrinoless double beta decay constrained by the existence of large extra dimensions

We present the possible influence on the half-life of neutrinoless double beta decay coming from the existence of $n$ extra spatial dimensions. The half-life in question depends on the mass of the electron neutrino. We base our analysis on the Majorana neutrino mass mechanism in Arkani-Hamed--Dimopoulos--Dvali model.Comment: I decided to move the collection of my papers to arXiv for easier access.

Nuclei with Tetrahedral Symmetry

We discuss a point-group-theory based method of searching for new regions of nuclear stability. We illustrate the related strategy with realistic calculations employing the tetrahedral and the octahedral point groups. In particular, several nuclei in the Rare Earth region appear as excellent candidates to study the new mechanism.Comment: 18 pages, 4 figures, submitted to International Journal of Modern Physics
