SUSY and BSM in the face of LHC-14

In this talk I review the motivations for physics beyond the Standard Model at the TeV scale and the prospects for their detection in the second Run of LHC. Then I focus in the supersymmetric case, paying special attention to the formulation and implications of the Natural SUSY scenario.Comment: Contribution to the proceedings of the X SILAFAE, Medellin, Colombia, November 24-28 201

The “Standard” Administrative Procedure for Supervising and Enforcing EC Law: EC Treaty Articles 226 and 228

Ibanez examines the European Commission\u27s policy and strategy in enforcement proceedings and attempts to discover the predominant European model, if such a model exists, for enforcing and supervising EC law. Ibanez focuses on some general difficulties in analyzing supervision and enforcement at the European level and the problem of implementation in more general terms

Nuclear modifications of fragmentation functions and rescaling models

We discuss nuclear modification of fragmentation functions in the context of the so-called ``rescaling models''. These models implement partial deconfinement inside nuclei by modifying the fragmentation functions perturbatively. We apply these models to the analysis of nuclear hadron production in deep inelastic scattering processes at the HERMES and EMC experiments.Comment: 6 pages, 3 figures, uses espcrc1.sty.

Stochastic backgrounds of gravitational waves and spherical detectors

The analysis of how a stochastic background of gravitational radiation interacts with a spherical detector is given in detail, which leads to explicit expressions for the system response functions, as well as for the cross-correlation matrix of different readout channels. It is shown that distinctive features of GW induced random detector excitations, relative to locally generated noise, are in practice insufficient to separate the signal from the noise by means of a single sphere, if prior knowledge on the GW spectral density is nil. The situation significantly improves when such previous knowledge is available, due to the omnidirectionality and multimode capacities of a spherical GW antenna.Comment: 19 page
