Toward a Neutrino Mass Matrix
One may identify the general properties of the neutrino mass matrix by
generating many random mass matrices and testing them against the results of
the neutrino experiments.Comment: 3 pages, 1 figure, talk at DPF200
Lessons and Prospects from the pMSSM after LHC Run I: Neutralino LSP
We study SUSY signatures at the 7, 8 and 14 TeV LHC employing the
19-parameter, R-Parity conserving p(henomenological)MSSM, in the scenario with
a neutralino LSP. Our results were obtained via a fast Monte Carlo simulation
of the ATLAS SUSY analysis suite. The flexibility of this framework allows us
to study a wide variety of SUSY phenomena simultaneously and to probe for weak
spots in existing SUSY search analyses. We determine the ranges of the
sparticle masses that are either disfavored or allowed after the searches with
the 7 and 8 TeV data sets are combined. We find that natural SUSY models with
light squarks and gluinos remain viable. We extrapolate to 14 TeV with both 300
fb and 3 ab of integrated luminosity and determine the expected
sensitivity of the jets + MET and stop searches to the pMSSM parameter space.
We find that the high-luminosity LHC will be powerful in probing SUSY with
neutralino LSPs and can provide a more definitive statement on the existence of
natural Supersymmetry.Comment: 41 pages, 27 figures. arXiv admin note: substantial text overlap with

Protons as the prime contributors to the storm time ring current
Following a large magnetic storm (17 June 1972), Explorer 45 measured the equatorial particle populations and magnetic field. Using data obtained during the symmetic recovery phase, it is shown that through a series of self-consistent calculations, the measured protons with energies from 1 to 872 keV, can account for the observed ring current magnetic effects within experimental uncertainities. This enables an upper limit to be set for the heavy ion contribution to the storm time ring current
Wind turbine generator rotor blade concepts with low cost potential
Four processed for producing blades are examined. Two use filament winding techniques and two involve filling a mold or form to produce all or part of a blade. The processes are described and a comparison is made of cost, material properties, design and free vibration characteristics. Conclusions are made regarding the feasibility of each process to produce low cost, structurally adequate blades
Which Constituent Quark Model Is Better?
A comparative study has been done by calculating the effective baryon-baryon
interactions of the 64 lowest channels consisting of octet and decuplet baryons
with three constituent quark models: the extended quark gluon exchange model,
the Goldstone boson exchange model and the quark gluon meson exchange hybrid
model. We find that these three models give similar results for 44 channels.
Further tests of these models are discussed.Comment: 6pp., 3 figs., Asia-Pacific Few-Body Conf. II (Shanghai, Aug.25-30

Self-Referential Noise and the Synthesis of Three-Dimensional Space
Generalising results from Godel and Chaitin in mathematics suggests that
self-referential systems contain intrinsic randomness. We argue that this is
relevant to modelling the universe and show how three-dimensional space may
arise from a non-geometric order-disorder model driven by self-referential
noise.Comment: Figure labels correcte
Squeezed gluon vacuum and the global colour model of QCD
We discuss how the vacuum model of Celenza and Shakin with a squeezed gluon
condensate can explain the existence of an infrared singular gluon propagator
frequently used in calculations within the global colour model. In particular,
it reproduces a recently proposed QCD-motivated model where low energy chiral
parameters were computed as a function of a dynamically generated gluon mass.
We show how the strength of the confining interaction of this gluon propagator
and the value of the physical gluon condensate may be connected.Comment: 13 pages, LaTe
Modeling Magnetite Reflectance Spectra Using Hapke Theory and Existing Optical Constants
Magnetite is an accessory mineral found in terrestrial environments, some meteorites, and the lunar surface. The reflectance of magnetite powers is relatively low [1], and this property makes it an analog for other dark Fe- or Ti-bearing components, particularly ilmenite on the lunar surface. The real and imaginary indices of refraction (optical constants) for magnetite are available in the literature [2-3], and online [4]. Here we use these values to calculate the reflectance of particulates and compare these model spectra to reflectance measurements of magnetite available on-line [5]
The Calculation of Vacuum Properties from the Global Color Symmetry Model
A modified method for calculating the non-perturbative quark vacuum
condensates from the global color symmetry model is derived. Within this
approach it is shown that the vacuum condensates are free of ultraviolet
divergence which is different from previous studies. As a special, the
two-quark condensate and the mixed quark-gluon condensate are calculated. A
comparision with the results of the other nonperturbative QCD approaches is
given.Comment: 17 page
