Effects of the R-parity violation in the minimal supersymmetric standard model on dilepton pair production at the CERN LHC
We investigate in detail the effects of the R-parity lepton number violation
in the minimal supersymmetric standard model (MSSM) on the parent process at the CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC). The numerical
comparisons between the contributions of the R-parity violating effects to the
parent process via the Drell-Yan subprocess and the gluon-gluon fusion are
made. We find that the R-violating effects on pair production at the
LHC could be significant. The results show that the cross section of the pair productions via gluon-gluon collision at the LHC can be of the order
of fb, and this subprocess maybe competitive with the production
mechanism via the Drell-Yan subprocess. We give also quantitatively the
analysis of the effects from both the mass of sneutrino and coupling strength
of the R-parity violating interactions.Comment: 18 pages, 10 figures, accepted by Phys. Rev.
Aftershocks in Modern Perspectives: Complex Earthquake Network, Aging, and Non-Markovianity
The phenomenon of aftershocks is studied in view of science of complexity. In
particular, three different concepts are examined: (i) the complex-network
representation of seismicity, (ii) the event-event correlations, and (iii) the
effects of long-range memory. Regarding (i), it is shown the clustering
coefficient of the complex earthquake network exhibits a peculiar behavior at
and after main shocks. Regarding (ii), it is found that aftershocks experience
aging, and the associated scaling holds. And regarding (iii), the scaling
relation to be satisfied by a class of singular Markovian processes is
violated, implying the existence of the long-range memory in processes of
aftershocks.Comment: 28 pages, 6 figures and 1 table. Acta Geophysica, in pres
Squarks Below the Z
We investigate the possibility that the difference between the measurements
of from the hadronic branching ratio of the and the world
average of other measurements is due to the decay of the into quark,
anti-squark, and gluino. Consequences for supersymmetry breaking models are
discussed.Comment: 9 pages, 4 figures not include
Increased Yield of ttbb at Hadron Colliders in Low-Energy Supersymmetry
Light bottom squarks and gluinos have been invoked to explain the b quark
pair production excess at the Tevatron. We investigate the associated
production of ttbb at hadron colliders in this scenario, and find that the
rates for this process are enhanced over the Standard Model prediction. If
light gluinos exist, it may be possible to detect them at the Tevatron, and
they could easily be observed at the LHC.Comment: 5p, references added, version accepted to PR
Validity of the second law in nonextensive quantum thermodynamics
The second law of thermodynamics in nonextensive statistical mechanics is
discussed in the quantum regime. Making use of the convexity property of the
generalized relative entropy associated with the Tsallis entropy indexed by q,
Clausius' inequality is shown to hold in the range of q between zero and two.
This restriction on the range of the entropic index, q, is purely quantum
mechanical and there exists no upper bound of q for validity of the second law
in classical theory.Comment: 12 pages, no figure
Singlet Charge Quark hiding the Top: Tevatron and LEP Implications
If and quarks are strongly mixed with a weak singlet charge
quark, could be suppressed via the mode,
thereby the top quark could still hide below , whereas the heavy quark
signal observed at the Tevatron is due to the dominantly singlet quark .
This may occur without affecting the small value. Demanding GeV and m_t \ltap M_W, we find that cannot be too
suppressed. The heavy quark decays via , and bosons. The latter
can lead to -tagged jet events, while the strong -- mixing is
reflected in sizable fraction. decay occurs at tree
level and may be at the order, leading to the signature of , all isolated and with large , at order.Comment: 10 pages + 3 Figures (not included), ReVTeX, NTUTH-94-1
The Ratio of W + N jets To Z/gamma + N jets As a Precision Test of the Standard Model
We suggest replacing measurements of the individual cross-sections for the
production of W + N jets and Z/gamma + N jets in searches for new high-energy
phenomena at hadron colliders by the precision measurement of the ratios (W+0
jet)/(Z+0 jet), (W+1 jet)/(Z+1 jet), (W+2 jets)/(Z+2 jets),... (W+N jets)/(Z+N
jets), with N as large as 6 (the number of jets in ttbarH). These ratios can
also be formed for the case where one or more of the jets is tagged as a b or c
quark. Existing measurements of the individual cross sections for Wenu + N jets
at the Tevatron have systematic uncertainties that grow rapidly with N, being
dominated by uncertainties in the identification of jets and the jet energy
scale. These systematics, and also those associated with the luminosity, parton
distribution functions (PDF's), detector acceptance and efficiencies, and
systematics of jet finding and b-tagging, are expected to substantially cancel
in calculating the ratio of W to Z production in each N-jet channel, allowing a
greater sensitivity to new contributions in these channels in Run II at the
Tevatron and at the LHC.Comment: 10 pages, 8 figures, added reference
Role of the Delta (1232) in DIS on polarized He and extraction of the neutron spin structure function
We consider the effect of the transitions and in deep inelastic scattering on polarized He on the extraction
of the neutron spin structure function . Making the natural
assumption that these transitions are the dominant non-nucleonic contributions
to the renormalization of the axial vector coupling constant in the A=3 system,
we find that the effect of increases by % in the range , where our considerations are applicable
and most of the data for exist.Comment: 23 pages, 6 figures, revte
Neural Filters for Jet Analysis
We study the efficiency of a neural-net filter and deconvolution method for
estimating jet energies and spectra in high-background reactions such as
nuclear collisions at the relativistic heavy-ion collider and the large hadron
collider. The optimal network is shown to be surprisingly close but not
identical to a linear high-pass filter. A suitably constrained deconvolution
method is shown to uncover accurately the underlying jet distribution in spite
of the broad network response. Finally, we show that possible changes of the
jet spectrum in nuclear collisions can be analyzed quantitatively, in terms of
an effective energy loss with the proposed method. {} {Dong D W and Gyulassy M

Next-to-Leading Order Analysis of Inclusive and Semi-inclusive Polarized Data
We present a combined next-to-leading order QCD analysis to data on both
inclusive and semi-inclusive polarized deep inelastic scattering asymmetries.
Performing NLO QCD global fits with different sets of observables, we evaluate
the impact of the very recent semi-inclusive results presented by SMC in the
extraction of NLO polarized parton distributions.Comment: 22 pages, 4 figures include
