Measuring the Higgs to Photon-Photon Branching Ratio at the Next Linear Collider
We examine the prospects for measuring the photon-photon branching ratio of a
Standard-Model-like Higgs boson () at the Next Linear Collider when
the Higgs boson is produced via --fusion: .
In particular, we study the accuracy of such a measurement and the statistical
significance of the associated signal as a function of the electromagnetic
calorimeter resolution and the Higgs boson mass. We compare results for the
--fusion production/measurement mode with the results obtained for the
production/measurement mode in a
parallel earlier study.Comment: 5 pages, full postscript file also available via anonymous ftp at

Large-scale low-energy excitations in 3-d spin glasses
We numerically extract large-scale excitations above the ground state in the
3-dimensional Edwards-Anderson spin glass with Gaussian couplings. We find that
associated energies are O(1), in agreement with the mean field picture. Of
further interest are the position-space properties of these excitations. First,
our study of their topological properties show that the majority of the
large-scale excitations are sponge-like. Second, when probing their geometrical
properties, we find that the excitations coarsen when the system size is
increased. We conclude that either finite size effects are very large even when
the spin overlap q is close to zero, or the mean field picture of homogeneous
excitations has to be modified.Comment: 11 pages, typos corrected, added reference

Energy exponents and corrections to scaling in Ising spin glasses
We study the probability distribution P(E) of the ground state energy E in
various Ising spin glasses. In most models, P(E) seems to become Gaussian with
a variance growing as the system's volume V. Exceptions include the
Sherrington-Kirkpatrick model (where the variance grows more slowly, perhaps as
the square root of the volume), and mean field diluted spin glasses having +/-J
couplings. We also find that the corrections to the extensive part of the
disorder averaged energy grow as a power of the system size; for finite
dimensional lattices, this exponent is equal, within numerical precision, to
the domain-wall exponent theta_DW. We also show how a systematic expansion of
theta_DW in powers of exp(-d) can be obtained for Migdal-Kadanoff lattices.
Some physical arguments are given to rationalize our findings.Comment: 12 pages, RevTex, 9 figure
Ab initio theory of Fano resonances in plasmonic nanostructures and metamaterials
An ab initio theory for Fano resonances in plasmonic nanostructures and
metamaterials is developed using Feshbach formalism. It reveals the role played
by the electromagnetic modes and material losses in the system, and enables the
engineering of Fano resonances in arbitrary geometries. A general formula for
the asymmetric resonance in a non-conservative system is derived. The influence
of the electromagnetic interactions on the resonance line shape is discussed
and it is shown that intrinsic losses drive the resonance contrast, while its
width is mostly determined by the coupling strength between the non-radiative
mode and the continuum. The analytical model is in perfect agreement with
numerical simulations.Comment: 13 pages, 5 figure
