General analysis of the rare Bc->D^*_s l^+ l^- decay beyond the standard model

The general analysis of the rare Bc->D^*_s l^+ l^- decay is presented by using the most general, model independent effective Hamiltonian. The dependencies of the branching ratios, longitudinal, normal and transversal polarization asymmetries for l^- and the combined asymmetries for l^- and l^+ on the new Wilson coefficients are investigated. Our analysis shows that the lepton polarization asymmetries are very sensitive to the scalar and tensor type interactions, which will be very useful in looking for new physics beyond the standard model.Comment: 27 Pages, 14 Figure

Lepton polarization correlations in B→K∗τ−τ+B \to K^* \tau^- \tau^+

In this work we will study the polarizations of both leptons ($\tau$) in the decay channel $B\to K^* \tau^- \tau^+$. In the case of the dileptonic inclusive decay $B\to K^* \ell^- \ell^+$, where apart from the polarization asymmetries of single lepton $\ell$, one can also observe the polarization asymmetries of both leptons simultaneously. If this sort of measurement is possible then we can have, apart from decay rate, FB asymmetry and the six single lepton polarization asymmetries (three each for $\ell^-$ and $\ell^+$), nine more double polarization asymmetries. This will give us a very useful tool in more strict testing of SM and the physics beyond. We discuss the double polarization asymmetries of $\tau$ leptons in the decay mode $B\to K^* \tau^- \tau^+$ within the SM and the Minimal Supersymmetric extensions of it.Comment: 21 pages, 21 figures; version to match paper to appear in PR

Transient lateral photovoltaic effect in patterned metal-oxide-semiconductor films

The time dependent transient lateral photovoltaic effect has been studied with us time resolution and with chopping frequencies in the kHz range, in lithographically patterned 21 nm thick, 5, 10 and 20 um wide and 1500 um long Co lines grown over naturally passivated p-type Si (100). We have observed a nearly linear dependence of the transitorial response with the laser spot position. A transitorial response with a sign change in the laser-off stage has been corroborated by numerical simulations. A qualitative explanation suggests a modification of the drift-diffusion model by including the in uence of a local inductance. Our findings indicate that the microstructuring of position sensitive detectors could improve their space-time resolution.Comment: 4 pages, 4 figure

Instabilities for a relativistic electron beam interacting with a laser irradiated plasma

The effects of a radiation field (RF) on the unstable modes developed in relativistic electron beam--plasma interaction are investigated assuming that $\omega_{0} >\omega_{p}$, where $\omega_{0}$ is the frequency of the RF and $\omega_{p}$ is the plasma frequency. These unstable modes are parametrically coupled to each other due to the RF and are a mix between two--stream and parametric instabilities. The dispersion equations are derived by the linearization of the kinetic equations for a beam--plasma system as well as the Maxwell equations. In order to highlight the effect of the radiation field we present a comparison of our analytical and numerical results obtained for nonzero RF with those for vanishing RF. Assuming that the drift velocity $\mathbf{u}_{b}$ of the beam is parallel to the wave vector $\mathbf{k}$ of the excitations two particular transversal and parallel configurations of the polarization vector $\mathbf{E}_{0}$ of the RF with respect to $\mathbf{k}$ are considered in detail. It is shown that in both geometries resonant and nonresonant couplings between different modes are possible. The largest growth rates are expected at the transversal configuration when $\mathbf{E}_{0}$ is perpendicular to $\mathbf{k}$. In this case it is demonstrated that in general the spectrum of the unstable modes in $\omega$--$k$ plane is split into two distinct domains with long and short wavelengths, where the unstable modes are mainly sensitive to the beam or the RF parameters, respectively. In parallel configuration, $\mathbf{E}_{0} \parallel \mathbf{k}$, and at short wavelengths the growth rates of the unstable modes are sensitive to both beam and RF parameters remaining insensitive to the RF at long wavelengths.Comment: 23 pages, 5 figure

Temperature dependent dynamic and static magnetic response in magnetic tunnel junctions with Permalloy layers

Ferromagnetic resonance and static magnetic properties of CoFe/Al2O3/CoFe/Py and CoFe/Al2O3/CoFeB/Py magnetic tunnel junctions and of 25nm thick single-layer Permalloy(Py) films have been studied as a function of temperature down to 2K. The temperature dependence of the ferromagnetic resonance excited in the Py layers in magnetic tunnel junctions shows knee-like enhancement of the resonance frequency accompanied by an anomaly in the magnetization near 60K. We attribute the anomalous static and dynamic magnetic response at low temperatures to interface stress induced magnetic reorientation transition at the Py interface which could be influenced by dipolar soft-hard layer coupling through the Al2O3 barrier

A Slowly Rotating Charged Black Hole in Five Dimensions

Black hole solutions in higher dimensional Einstein and Einstein-Maxwell gravity have been discussed by Tangherlini as well as Myers and Perry a long time ago. These solutions are the generalizations of the familiar Schwarzschild, Reissner-Nordstrom and Kerr solutions of four-dimensional general relativity. However, higher dimensional generalization of the Kerr-Newman solution in four dimensions has not been found yet. As a first step in this direction I shall report on a new solution of the Einstein-Maxwell system of equations that describes an electrically charged and slowly rotating black hole in five dimensions.Comment: Talk given at GR17: 17th International Conference on General Relativity and Gravitation, Dublin, 18-24 Jule,2004 ; Corrected typos, minor changes, new formula adde

Low frequency noise due to magnetic inhomogeneities in submicron FeCoB/MgO/FeCoB magnetic tunnel junctions

We report on room temperature low frequency noise due to magnetic inhomogeneities/domain walls (MI/DWs) in elliptic submicron FeCoB/MgO/FeCoB magnetic tunnel junctions with an area between 0.0245 and 0.0675{\mu}m2. In the smaller area junctions we found an unexpected random telegraph noise (RTN1), deeply in the parallel state, possibly due to stray field induced MI/DWs in the hard layer. The second noise source (RTN2) is observed in the antiparallel state for the largest junctions. Strong asymmetry of RTN2 and of related resistance steps with current indicate spin torque acting on the MI/DWs in the soft layer at current densities below 5x10^5 A/cm2.Comment: 12 pages, 4 figure

Properties of the Discrete Hilbert Transform

The asymptotic behavior of the distribution function of the Hilbert transform of sequences from the class l1 is studied. The concept of Q-summability of series is introduced; using this notion, it is shown that the Hilbert transform of a sequence from the class l1 is Q-summable and is Q-sum is zero
