Analysis of a model with a common source of CP violation
We work in a model where all CP violating phenomena have a common source. CP
is spontaneously broken at a large scale through the phase of a complex
singlet scalar. An additional singlet vector-like down-type quark
relates this high scale CP violation to low energy. We quantitatively analyze
this model in the quark sector. We obtain the numerical values of the
parameters of the Lagrangian in the quark sector for a specific ansatz of the
down-type quark mass matrix where the weak phase is generated
minimally. vertex will modify in presence of the extra vector-like
down-type quark. From the experimental lower bound of the partial decay width
we find out the lower bound of the additional down-type quark
mass. Tree level flavor changing neutral current appears in this model due to
the presence of the extra vector-like down-type quark. We give the range of
values of the mass splitting in system
using SM box, mediating tree level and mediating one loop diagrams
together for both . We find out the analytical expression for
in this model from standard box, and Higgs mediated penguin
diagrams for system, . From this we numerically
evaluate the decay width difference . We
also find out the numerical values of the CP asymmetry parameters and
for the decays and
respectively. We get the lower bound of the scale through the upper bound
of the strong CP phase.Comment: 20 pages, no figures New materials and references have been added.

Neutrino masses, cosmological bound and four zero Yukawa textures
Four zero neutrino Yukawa textures in a specified weak basis, combined with
symmetry and type-I seesaw, yield a highly constrained and predictive
scheme. Two alternately viable light neutrino Majorana mass matrices
result with inverted/normal mass ordering. Neutrino
masses, Majorana in character and predicted within definite ranges with
laboratory and cosmological inputs, will have their sum probed cosmologically.
The rate for decay, though generally below the reach of
planned experiments, could approach it in some parameter region. Departure from
symmetry due to RG evolution from a high scale and consequent CP
violation, with a Jarlskog invariant whose magnitude could almost reach
, are explored.Comment: Published versio
TiO2 coated MWCNT decorated by Fe3O4 nanoparticle as electrode material for Supercapacitor Application
TiO2 coated multi wall carbon nanotube (TiCN) and Fe3O4 based electrode material for the application in electro chemical devices has been produced through a simple approach. Morphological and electro chemical properties of the prepared nanocomposites were determined through field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) and cyclic voltammetry (CV) and impedance analysis, respectively. Sol-gel technique was hired to synthesize TiCN and in-situ chemical co-precipitation technique was used for the formation of magnetite particles (Fe3O4) on the surface of acid-modified multiwall carbon nanotube (MWCNT). Maximum specific capacitance obtained from CV is 221 F/g

Scaling ansatz, four zero Yukawa textures and large
We investigate 'Scaling ansatz' in the neutrino sector within the framework
of type I seesaw mechanism with diagonal charged lepton and right handed
Majorana neutrino mass matrices (). We also assume four zero texture of
Dirac neutrino mass matrices () which severely constrain the
phenomenological outcomes of such scheme. Scaling ansatz and the present
neutrino data allow only Six such matrices out of 126 four zero Yukawa
matrices. In this scheme, in order to generate large we break
scaling ansatz in through a perturbation parameter and we also show our
breaking scheme is radiatively stable. We further investigate CP violation and
baryogenesis via leptogenesis in those surviving textures.Comment: 25 pages, 8 figures, Accepted for publication in Phys. Rev.
Quenching of nucleotide-derived radicals by bisbenzimidazole derivative Hoechst-33258 in aqueous solution
The pulse radiolysis technique has been employed to investigate the reaction of DNA-minor-groove ligand bisbenzimidazole Hoechst 33258 with pyrimidine and purine nucleotide-derived radicals. Formation of an N-centred Hoechst-33258 radical is observed. Bimolecular rate constants and the yields of Hoechst-33258 radical have been evaluated. While the rate constant for the reaction of pyrimidine-derived radicals with Hoechst-33258 remained the same (1-2) × 109 dm3 mol-1 s-1, the yields of the Hoechst-33258 radical varied from 25% (5'-cytidine monophosphate) to 75% (5'-guanosine monophosphate) under anoxic conditions. The rate constant values for the reaction of purine-derived radicals with Hoechst-33258, under oxic and anoxic conditions, remained the same whereas with pyrimidine-derived radicals, the rate constant value under oxic conditions was about two orders of magnitude lower than under anoxic conditions. The difference in the yields of Hoechst-33258 radical with various nucleotide-derived radicals suggest the formation of different types of radicals and that the reaction mainly occurs by electron transfer from Hoechst-33258 to the nucleotide radicals
Predictions of PMNS and CKM Angles
Generalizing a previous model to accommodate the third quark family and CP
violation, we present a model which predicts tribimaximal neutrino
(PMNS) mixings while the central predictions for quark mixings are
and with a predicted CP
violating KM phase . All these are acceptably close to
experiment, including the KM phase for which the allowed values are , and depend only on use of symmetry to
define the model and no additional parameters.Comment: Simplified presentatio
Predictions of Neutrino Mixing Angles in a T'Model
Flavor symmetry () where is the binary tetrahedral
group predicts for neutrino mixing angles and, with one phenomenological input, provides
upper and lower bounds on both and . The predictions
arise from the deviation of the Cabibbo angle from its
lowest-order value and from the
mechanism which relates mixing of neutrinos to
mixing of quarks.Comment: Typos. Reference adde
