    Full text link
    This paper uses the relation of the cosmic scale factor and scalar field to solve Wheeler-DeWitt equation, gives the tunnel effect of the cosmic scale factor a and quantum potential well of scalar field, and makes it fit with the physics of cosmic quantum birth. By solving Wheeler-DeWitt equation we achieve a general probability distribution of the cosmic birth, and give the analysis of cosmic quantum birth.Comment: 12 page

    Performance Evaluation of Road Traffic Control Using a Fuzzy Cellular Model

    Full text link
    In this paper a method is proposed for performance evaluation of road traffic control systems. The method is designed to be implemented in an on-line simulation environment, which enables optimisation of adaptive traffic control strategies. Performance measures are computed using a fuzzy cellular traffic model, formulated as a hybrid system combining cellular automata and fuzzy calculus. Experimental results show that the introduced method allows the performance to be evaluated using imprecise traffic measurements. Moreover, the fuzzy definitions of performance measures are convenient for uncertainty determination in traffic control decisions.Comment: The final publication is available at http://www.springerlink.co

    Singlet Fermionic Dark Matter explains DAMA signal

    Full text link
    It has been suggested that, considering channeling effect, the order of a few GeV dark matters which are elastically scattered from detector nuclei might be plausible candidates reconciling the DAMA annual modulation signal with the results of other null experiments. We show that Singlet Fermionic Dark Matter can be such a dark matter candidate, simultaneously providing the correct thermal relic density which is consistent with the WMAP data.Comment: 9 pages, 3 figure

    Neutralino dark matter stars can not exist

    Full text link
    Motivated by the recent "Cosmos Project" observation of dark-matter concentrations with no ordinary matter in the same place, we study the question of the existence of compact objects made of pure dark matter. We assume that the dark matter is neutralino, and compare its elastic and annihilation cross sections. We find that the two cross sections are of the same order of magnitude. This result has a straightforward and important consequence that neutralinos comprising a compact object can not achieve thermal equilibrium. To substantiate our arguments, by solving Oppenheimer-Volkoff equation we constructed a model of the star made of pure neutralinos. We explicitly showed that the condition for the thermal equilibrium supported by the Fermi pressure is never fulfilled inside the star. This neutralino state can not be described by the Fermi-Dirac distribution. Thus, a stable neutralino star, which is supported by the Fermi pressure, can not exist. We also estimated that a stable star can not contain more than a few percents of neutralinos, most of the mass must be in the form of the standard model particles.Comment: published in JHE

    Searching for super-WIMPs in leptonic heavy meson decays

    We study constraints on the models of bosonic super-weakly interacting particle (super-WIMP) dark matter (DM) with DM masses mX∼O(1−100)m_X \sim \mathcal{O}(1 - 100) keV from leptonic decays M→ℓνˉℓ+XM\rightarrow \ell \bar{\nu}_\ell + X, where M=B±,D±,Ds±M=B^\pm, D^\pm, D_s^\pm is a heavy meson state. We focus on two cases where XX denotes either a light pseudoscalar (axion-like), or a light vector state that couples to the standard model (SM) through kinetic mixing. We note that for a small DM mass these decays are separately sensitive to DM couplings to quarks, but not its mass.Comment: 17 pages, 3 figures, 6 table

    Probable ratio of the vacuum energy in a Schwarzchild-de Sitter space

    Full text link
    The effects of the generalized uncertainty principle({\bf GUP}) on the cosmological constant problem are discussed in the Schwarzchild-deSitter spacetime, through studying the corrections to its thermodynamics. We derive the correction to the Hawking temperature of the cosmological horizon, by a heuristic method enlighten by gr-qc/0106080 . The logarithmic correction to the Bekenstein-Hawking entropy is also obtained. For an ordinary star (not a black hole), the probable ratio of the vacuum energy to the total energy within the cosmological horizon is 2/3, which roughly coincides with the evidences from the astronomical observations. For a black hole, the ratio tends to decrease. An inequality associating the energy density with the length of system is put forward for understanding the smallness of the cosmological constant, and the relation between the Bekenstein entropy bound and the Bekenstein-Hawking entropy is also briefly discussed.Comment: 12 pages; a through revision and withdraw the discussion about the cosmic censorship conjecture; added many reference

    Probing MSSM Higgs Sector with Explicit CP Violation at a Photon Linear Collider

    Get PDF
    The CP properties of Higgs bosons can be probed through their s-channel resonance productions via photon-photon collisions by use of circularly and/or linearly polarized backscattered laser photons at a TeV-scale linear e^+ e^- collider. Exploiting this powerful tool, we investigate in detail the Higgs sector of the minimal supersymmetric Standard Model with explicit CP violation.Comment: 18 pages, 5 figures.

    MSSM Higgs-Boson Production at Hadron Colliders with Explicit CP Violation

    Get PDF
    Gluon fusion is the main production mechanism for Higgs bosons with masses up to several hundred GeV in pppp collisions at the CERN Large Hadron Collider. We investigate the effects of the CP-violating phases on the fusion process including both the sfermion-loop contributions and the one-loop induced CP-violating scalar-pseudoscalar mixing in the minimal supersymmetric standard model. With a universal trilinear parameter assumed, every physical observable involves only the sum of the phases of the universal trilinear parameter AA and the higgsino mass parameter μ\mu. The phase affects the lightest Higgs-boson production rate significantly through the neutral Higgs-boson mixing and, for the masses around the lightest stop-pair threshold, it also changes the production rate of the heavy Higgs bosons significantly through both the stop and sbottom loops and the neutral Higgs-boson mixing.Comment: 28 pages, 8 figures.

    Supersymmetric CP Violation in B→Xsl+l−B \to X_s l^+ l^- in Minimal Supergravity Model

    Full text link
    Direct CP asymmetries and the CP violating normal polarization of lepton in inclusive decay B \to X_s l^+ l^- are investigated in minimal supergravity model with CP violating phases. The contributions coming from exchanging neutral Higgs bosons are included. It is shown that the direct CP violation in branching ratio, A_{CP}^1, is of {\cal{O}}(10^{-3}) for l=e, \mu, \tau. The CP violating normal polarization for l=\mu can reach 0.5 percent when tan\beta is large (say, 36). For l=\tau and in the case of large \tan\beta, the direct CP violation in backward-forward asymmetry, A_{CP}^2, can reach one percent, the normal polarization of \tau can be as large as a few percent, and both are sensitive to the two CP violating phases, \phi_\mu and \phi_{A_0}, and consequently it could be possible to observe them (in particular, the normal polarization of \tau) in the future B factories.Comment: 14 pages, latex, 5 figure

    Study of Bs-> \phi l^+ l^-$ Decay in a Single Universal Extra Dimension

    Full text link
    Utilizing form factors calculated within the light-cone sum rules, we have evaluated the decay branching ratios of Bs→ϕγB_s\to \phi\gamma and Bs→ϕℓ+ℓ−B_s\to \phi \ell^+\ell^- in a single universal extra dimension model (UED), which is viewed as one of the alternative theories beyond the standard model (SM). For the decay Bs→ϕℓ+ℓ−B_s \to \phi \ell^+\ell^-, the dilepton invariant mass spectra, the forward-backward asymmetry, and double lepton polarization are also calculated. For each case, we compared the obtained results with predictions of the SM. In lower values of the compactification factor 1/R, the only parameter in this model, we see the considerable discrepancy between the UED and SM models. However, when 1/R increases, the results of UED tend to diminish and at 1/R=1000GeV1/R = 1000 \mathrm{GeV}, two models have approximately the same predictions. Compared with data from CDF of Bs→ϕμ+μ−B_s \to \phi \mu^+ \mu^-, the 1/R tends to be larger than 350GeV350 \mathrm{GeV}. We also note that the zero crossing point of the forward-backward asymmetry is become smaller, which will be an important plat to prob the contribution from the extra dimension model. The results obtained in this work will be very useful in searching new physics beyond SM. Moreover, the order of magnitude for branching ratios shows a possibility to study these channels at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), CDF and the future super-B factory.Comment: 13 pages, 16 figure
