Quasi-local mass in the covariant Newtonian space-time
In general relativity, quasi-local energy-momentum expressions have been
constructed from various formulae. However, Newtonian theory of gravity gives a
well known and an unique quasi-local mass expression (surface integration).
Since geometrical formulation of Newtonian gravity has been established in the
covariant Newtonian space-time, it provides a covariant approximation from
relativistic to Newtonian theories. By using this approximation, we calculate
Komar integral, Brown-York quasi-local energy and Dougan-Mason quasi-local mass
in the covariant Newtonian space-time. It turns out that Komar integral
naturally gives the Newtonian quasi-local mass expression, however, further
conditions (spherical symmetry) need to be made for Brown-York and Dougan-Mason
expressions.Comment: Submit to Class. Quantum Gra
Dynamical coupled-channel model of kaon-hyperon interactions
The pi N --> KY and KY --> KY reactions are studied using a dynamical
coupled-channel model of meson-baryon interactions at energies where the baryon
resonances are strongly excited. The channels included are: pi N, K \Lambda,
and K\Sigma. The resonances considered are: N^* [S_{11}(1650), P_{11}(1710),
P_{13}(1720),D_{13}(1700)]; \Delta^* [S_{31}(1900), P_{31}(1910),
P_{33}(1920)]; \Lambda ^* [S_{01}(1670), P_{01}(1810)] \Sigma^* [P_{11}(1660),
D_{13}(1670)]; and K^*(892). The basic non-resonant \pi N --> KY and KY --> KY
transition potentials are derived from effective Lagrangians using a unitary
transformation method. The dynamical coupled-channel equations are simplified
by parametrizing the pi N -->pi N amplitudes in terms of empirical pi N
partial-wave amplitudes and a phenomenological off-shell function. Two models
have been constructed. Model A is built by fixing all coupling constants and
resonance parameters using SU(3) symmetry, the Particle Data Group values, and
results from a constituent quark model. Model B is obtained by allowing most of
the parameters to vary around the values of model A in fitting the data. Good
fits to the available data for pi^- p to K^0 \Lambda, K^0 \Sigma^0 have been
achieved. The investigated kinematics region in the center-of-mass frame goes
from threshold to 2.5 GeV. The constructed models can be imbedded into
associated dynamical coupled-channel studies of kaon photo- and
electro-production reactions.Comment: 35 pages, 11 Figure
Decays of CP-even Higgs bosons in a 3-3-1 model with neutral leptons
The 3-3-1 model with neutral leptons contains four CP-even Higgs bosons when
some constraints are imposed on the Higgs potential. Two Higgs bosons of this
type are identified with the corresponding ones in the Two-Higgs-Doublet model
(2HDM), an other being more massive does not couple with similar particles
contained in the Standard Model (SM). The remaining particle is assumed to have
no lepton-flavor-violating couplings. The contributions at one-loop order to
come mainly from neutral
leptons leading them to depend very strongly on mass of charged Higgs boson,
masses and the mixing matrix () of the neutral leptons. The numerical
investigated results of in the
spatial regions satisfying the experimental limit of lepton-flavor-violating
decays of charged leptons (cLFV) indicate that the signal of SM-like Higgs
boson () approaches the upper bound
of the experimental limit and
can take large values in the case of
and smaller in the case of . Further, some
distinct properties of and
are also discussed.Comment: 37 pages, 21 figures. arXiv admin note: text overlap with

On the Mass-Period Distributions and Correlations of Extrasolar Planets
In addition to fitting the data of 233 extra-solar planets with power laws,
we construct a correlated mass-period distribution function of extrasolar
planets, as the first time in this field. The algorithm to generate a pair of
positively correlated beta-distributed random variables is introduced and used
for the construction of correlated distribution functions. We investigate the
mass-period correlations of extrasolar planets both in the linear and logarithm
spaces, determine the confidence intervals of the correlation coefficients, and
confirm that there is a positive mass-period correlation for the extrasolar
planets. In addition to the paucity of massive close-in planets, which makes
the main contribution on this correlation, there are other fine structures for
the data in the mass-period plane.Comment: to be published in AJ, tentatively in December 200
Etching suspended superconducting hybrid junctions from a multilayer
A novel method to fabricate large-area superconducting hybrid tunnel
junctions with a suspended central normal metal part is presented. The samples
are fabricated by combining photo-lithography and chemical etch of a
superconductor - insulator - normal metal multilayer. The process involves few
fabrication steps, is reliable and produces extremely high-quality tunnel
junctions. Under an appropriate voltage bias, a significant electronic cooling
is demonstrated
Quark-lepton mass unification at TeV scales
A scenario combining a model of early (TeV) unification of quarks and leptons
with the physics of large extra dimensions provides a natural mechanism linking
quark and lepton masses at TeV scale. This has been dubbed as early
quark-lepton mass unification by one of us (PQH) in one of the two models of
early quark-lepton unification, which are consistent with data, namely SU(4)_PS
\otimes SU(2)_L \otimes SU(2)_R \otimes SU(2)_H. In particular, it focused on
the issue of naturally light Dirac neutrino. The present paper will focus on
similar issues in the other model, namely SU(4)_PS \otimes SU(3)_L \otimes
SU(3)_H.Comment: Accepted for publication in PRD: The new version is in agreement with

Highly Sensitive Centrality Dependence of Elliptic Flow -- A Novel Signature of the Phase Transition in QCD
Elliptic flow of the hot, dense system which has been created in
nucleus-nucleus collisions develops as a response to the initial azimuthal
asymmetry of the reaction region. Here it is suggested that the magnitude of
this response shows a ``kinky'' dependence on the centrality of collisions for
which the system passes through a first-order or rapid transition between
quark-gluon plasma and hadronic matter. We have studied the system Pb(158AGeV)
on Pb employing a recent version of the transport theoretical approach RQMD and
find the conjecture confirmed. The novel phase transition signature may be
observable in present and forthcoming experiments at CERN-SPS and at RHIC, the
BNL collider.Comment: Version as published in PRL 82 (1999) 2048, title chang

Uranium on uranium collisions at relativistic energies
Deformation and orientation effects on compression, elliptic flow and
particle production in uranium on uranium collisions (UU) at relativistic
energies are studied within the transport model ART. The density compression in
tip-tip UU collisions is found to be about 30% higher and lasts approximately
50% longer than in body-body or spherical UU reactions. The body-body UU
collisions have the unique feature that the nucleon elliptic flow is the
highest in the most central collisions and remain a constant throughout the
reaction. We point out that the tip-tip UU collisions are more probable to
create the QGP at AGS and SPS energies while the body-body UU collisions are
more useful for studying properties of the QGP at higher energies.Comment: 8 pages + 4 figure
