    Models of Yukawa interaction in the two Higgs doublet model, and their collider phenomenology

    Full text link
    Possible models of Yukawa interaction are discussed in the two Higgs doublet model (THDM) under the discrete symmetry imposed to avoid the flavor changing neutral current at the leading order. It is known that there are four types of such models corresponding to the possible different assignment of charges for the discrete symmetry on quarks and leptons. We first examine decay properties of Higgs bosons in each type of the models, and summarize constraints on the models from current experimental data. We then shed light on the differences among these models in collider phenomenology. In particular, we mainly discuss so-called the Type-II THDM and the Type-X THDM. The Type-II THDM corresponds to the model with the same Yukawa interaction as the minimal supersymmetric standard model (MSSM). On the other hand, in the Type-X THDM, additional Higgs bosons can predominantly decay into leptons. This scenario may be interesting because of the motivation for a light charged Higgs boson scenario such as in the TeV scale model of neutrino, dark matter and baryogenesis. We study how we can distinguish the Type-X THDM from the MSSM at the Large Hadron Collider and the International Linear Collider.Comment: 33 pages, 41 eps files, version accepted for publication in Physical Review

    Calculation model of heating curves of a steel charge heated in a walking beam furnace before plastic working

    Get PDF
    The paper presents a universal computational model of heating curves for walking beam furnaces, which allows to determine the temperature distribution along the length of the furnace during heating of the steel charge. The model was made based on analytical dependencies regarding transient heat conduction, taking into account the temperature variability of all thermo-physical properties. The methodology of calculations and examples of heating curves for selected cases are presented

    Electromagnetic Structure of the ρ\rho Meson in the Light-Front Quark Model

    Full text link
    We investigate the elastic form factors of the rho meson in the light-front quark model(LFQM). With the phenomenologically accessible meson vertices including the one obtained by the Melosh transformation frequently used in the LFQM, we find that only the helicity 000\to 0 matrix element of the plus current receives the zero-mode contribution. We quantify the zero-mode contribution in the helicity 000\to 0 amplitude using the angular condition of spin-1 system. After taking care of the zero-mode issue, we obtain the magnetic(μ\mu) and quadrupole(QQ) moments of the rho meson as μ=1.92\mu=1.92 and Q=0.43Q=0.43, respectively, in the LFQM consistent with the Melosh transformation and compare our results with other available theoretical predictions.Comment: 14pages, 5figure

    Photon distribution amplitudes and light-cone wave functions in chiral quark models

    Get PDF
    The leading- and higher-twist distribution amplitudes and light-cone wave functions of real and virtual photons are analyzed in chiral quark models. The calculations are performed in the nonlocal quark model based on the instanton picture of QCD vacuum, as well as in the spectral quark model and the Nambu--Jona-Lasinio model with the Pauli-Villars regulator, which both treat interaction of quarks with external fields locally. We find that in all considered models the leading-twist distribution amplitudes of the real photon defined at the quark-model momentum scale are constant or remarkably close to the constant in the xx variable, thus are far from the asymptotic limit form. The QCD evolution to higher momentum scales is necessary and we carry it out at the leading order of the perturbative theory for the leading-twist amplitudes. We provide estimates for the magnetic susceptibility of the quark condensate χm\chi_m and the coupling f3γf_{3\gamma}, which in the nonlocal model turn out to be close to the estimates from QCD sum rules. We find the higher-twist distribution amplitudes at the quark model scale and compare them to the Wandzura-Wilczek estimates. In addition, in the spectral model we evaluate the distribution amplitudes and light-cone wave functions of the ρ\rho-meson.Comment: 24 pages, 15 figure

    Preparation and structural stability of ordered nanocomposites: opal matrix - lead titanates

    Get PDF
    The conditions for the formation of nanocomposites based on the basis of lattice packings of SiO[2] nanospheres (opal matrices) with included crystallites of lead titanates (PbTiO[3] and PbTi[3]O[7]) in interspherical nanospacing are considered. For the formation of nanocomposites are used sample opal matrices with dimensions of single-domain regions >=0,1 mm.{3} The diameter of SiO[2] nanospheres was ~260 nm. Obtained nanocomposites volume >2 cm{3} in filling >20% of interspherical nanospacing PbTiO[3], PbTi[3]O[7] crystallites were size of 16-36 nm. Using X-ray diffraction and Raman spectroscopy are studied composition and structural stability when heated nanocomposites to 550°C, which allowed the identification of a local phase transition with change of the space group. The dependence of the composition of synthesized materials on the conditions of their preparation is submitted

    Electromagnetic form factors of the ρ\rho meson in a light-front constituent quark model

    Full text link
    The electromagnetic form factors of the ρ\rho meson are evaluated adopting a relativistic constituent quark model based on the light-front formalism, and using a meson wave function with the high-momentum tail generated by the one-gluon-exchange interaction. The breakdown of the rotational covariance for the one-body component of the current operator is investigated and the sensitivity of the ratio of the ρ\rho-meson form factors to the pion (charge) form factor to the spin-dependent component of the effective qqˉq \bar{q} interaction is illustrated.Comment: 8 pages, latex file, 4 figures available as a separate .uu fil

    First Measurement of Target And Double Spin Asymmetries for ep → epπ° in the Nucleon Resonance Region Above the Δ (1232)

    Get PDF
    The exclusive channel polarized proton(polarized e,e\u27 p)π0 was studied in the first and second nucleon resonance regions in the Q2 range from 0.187 to 0.770 GeV2 at Jefferson Lab using the CEBAF Large Acceptance Spectrometer (CLAS). Longitudinal target and beam-target asymmetries were extracted over a large range of center-of-mass angles of the π0 and compared to the unitary isobar model MAID, the dynamic model by Sato and Lee, and the dynamic model DMT. A strong sensitivity to individual models was observed, in particular for the target asymmetry and in the higher invariant mass region. This data set, once included in the global fits of the above models, is expected to place strong constraints on the electrocoupling amplitudes A 1/2 and S 1/2 for the Roper resonance N (1400) P11, and the N(1535)S11 and N(1520)D13 states

    Scalar Particle Contribution to Higgs Production via Gluon Fusion at NLO

    Get PDF
    We consider the gluon fusion production cross section of a scalar Higgs boson in models where fermion and scalar massive colored particles are present. We report analytic expressions for the matrix elements of ggHggg\to Hg, qqˉHgq\bar{q}\to Hg, and qgHqqg\to Hq processes completing the calculation of the NLO QCD corrections in these extended scenarios. The formulas are written in a complete general case, allowing a flexible use for different theoretical models. Applications of our results to two different models are presented: i) a model in which the SM Higgs sector is augmented by a weak doublet scalar in the SU(Nc)SU(N_c) adjoint representation. ii) The MSSM, in the limit of neglecting the gluino contribution to the cross section.Comment: 20 pages, 5 figures.

    Measurement of Direct fₒ(980) Photoproduction on the Proton

    Get PDF
    We report on the results of the first measurement of exclusive f0(980) meson photoproduction on protons for Eγ = 3.0–3.8  GeV and −t = 0.4–1.0  GeV2 . Data were collected with the CLAS detector at the Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility. The resonance was detected via its decay in the π+π− channel by performing a partial wave analysis of the reaction γp→pπ+π− . Clear evidence of the f0(980) meson was found in the interference between P and S waves at M π+π− ∼1  GeV. The S -wave differential cross section integrated in the mass range of the f0(980) was found to be a factor of about 50 smaller than the cross section for the ρ meson. This is the first time the f0(980) meson has been measured in a photoproduction experiment
