Single and pair production of heavy leptons in model
We investigate the single and pair production of new heavy leptons via string
inspired model at future linear colliders. Signal and corresponding
backgrounds for these leptons are studied. We have found that single production
of heavy leptons is more relevant than that of pair production, as expected.
For a maximal mixing value of 0.1, the upper mass limits of 2750 GeV in the
single case and 1250 GeV in the pair production case are obtained at
TeV collider option.Comment: 14 pages, 10 figure
Effects of the CP Odd Dipole Operators on Gluino Production at Hadron Colliders
We present the cross sections for the hadroproduction of gluinos by taking
into account the CP odd dipole operators in supersymmetric QCD. The dependence
of the cross sections on these operators is analyzed for the hadron colliders
the Tevatron (=1.8 TeV) and the Cern LHC (=14 TeV). The
enhancement of the hadronic cross section is obviously mass dependent and for a
500 GeV gluino, is up to 16 % (over 73 pb) at the LHC while it is 8 % (over
0.63 fb) at the Tevatron.Comment: 13 pages, 6 figures and 4 table
Exotic Quark Production in ep Collisions
We investigate the single production and decay of charge -1/3, weak
isosinglet vectorlike exotic quarks in string inspired theories at
future ep colliders; THERA with =1 TeV, L=40 and CERN Large
Hadron Electron Collider (LHeC) with =1.4 TeV, . We
found that an analysis of the decay modes of should probe the mass ranges
of 100-450 GeV and 100-1200 GeV at the center of mass energies, 1 and 1.4 TeV,
respectively.Comment: 13 pages,8 figure
Vortex Lattice Structural Transitions: a Ginzburg-Landau Model Approach
We analyze the rhombic to square vortex lattice phase transition in
anisotropic superconductors using a variant of Ginzburg-Landau (GL) theory. The
mean-field phase diagram is determined to second order in the anisotropy
parameter, and shows a reorientation transition of the square vortex lattice
with respect to the crystal lattice. We then derive the long-wavelength elastic
moduli of the lattices, and use them to show that thermal fluctuations produce
a reentrant rhombic to square lattice transition line, similar to recent
studies which used a nonlocal London model.Comment: 4 pages, 3 figures, final version with various referee suggested

Political vs. Currency Premia in International Real Interest Differentials: A Study of Forward Rates for 24 Countries
Different approaches to quantifying the degree of capital mobility for a cross-section of currencies -- particularly saving-investment correlations and tests of real interest parity - have appeared to show a surprisingly low degree of financial market integration. We use a new data set, forward rate data for 24 countries, including many small industrialized countries and seven LDCs, to decompose the real interest differential into two parts: the covered interest differential, or political premium, and the real forward discount, or currency premium. The latter in turn can be decomposed into the exchange risk premium and expected real depreciation. We find a high degree of capital mobility across political boundaries for most of the 011 countries, plus Hong Kong and Singapore, for our sample period of 1982 to 1987. Even for most of the other LDCs and smaller industrialized countries, for which covered interest parity clearly fails, the political premium is not as big a component of the real interest differential as the currency premium. France would appear to have higher capital mobility than most by the criterion of real interest differentials, but is seen in fact to have low capital mobility by the criterion of covered interest differentials, a clear example of the superiority of the latter criterion.
