Neutrino Oscillations and Collider Test of the R-parity Violating Minimal Supergravity Model
We study the R-parity violating minimal supergravity models accounting for
the observed neutrino masses and mixing, which can be tested in future collider
experiments. The bi-large mixing can be explained by allowing five dominant
tri-linear couplings and . The desired ratio
of the atmospheric and solar neutrino mass-squared differences can be obtained
in a very limited parameter space where the tree-level contribution is tuned to
be suppressed. In this allowed region, we quantify the correlation between the
three neutrino mixing angles and the tri-linear R-parity violating couplings.
Qualitatively, the relations , and are required by the large
atmospheric neutrino mixing angle and the small angle
, and the large solar neutrino mixing angle ,
respectively. Such a prediction on the couplings can be tested in the next
linear colliders by observing the branching ratios of the lightest
supersymmetric particle (LSP). For the stau or the neutralino LSP, the ratio
can be measured
by establishing or , respectively. The
information on the couplings can be drawn by measuring if the neutralino LSP is heavier than the top
quark.Comment: RevTex, 25 pages, 8 eps figure

Neutrino Mass from R-parity Violation in Split Supersymmetry
We investigate how the observed neutrino data can be accommodated by R-parity
violation in Split Supersymmetry. The atmospheric neutrino mass and mixing are
explained by the bilinear parameters inducing the neutrino-neutralino
mixing as in the usual low-energy supersymmetry. Among various one-loop
corrections, only the quark-squark exchanging diagrams involving the order-one
trilinear couplings can generate the solar neutrino mass
and mixing if the scalar mass is not larger than GeV. This scheme
requires an unpleasant hierarchical structure of the couplings, e.g.,
, and . On the other hand, the model has a distinct collider
signature of the lightest neutralino which can decay only to the final states,
and , arising from the bilinear mixing. Thus, the
measurement of the ratio; would provide a clean probe of the small reactor and
large atmospheric neutrino mixing angles as far as the neutralino mass is
larger than 62 GeV.Comment: 10 pages, 3 figures, version submitted to JHE
A Detailed Analysis of One-loop Neutrino Masses from the Generic Supersymmetric Standard Model
In the generic supersymmetric standard model which had no global symmetry
enforced by hand, lepton number violation is a natural consequence.
Supersymmetry, hence, can be considered the source of experimentally demanded
beyond standard model properties for the neutrinos. With an efficient
formulation of the model, we perform a comprehensive detailed analysis of all
one-loop contributions to neutrino masses.Comment: 27 pages Revtex, no figur

AMP-activated protein kinase-α1 as an activating kinase of TGF-β-activated kinase 1 has a key role in inflammatory signals
Although previous studies have proposed plausible mechanisms of the activation of transforming growth factor-β-activated kinase 1 (TAK1) in inflammatory signals, including Toll-like receptors (TLRs), its activating kinase still remains to be unclear. In the present study, we have provided evidences that AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK)-α1 has a pivotal role for activating TAK1, and thereby regulate NF-κB-dependent gene expressions in inflammatory signaling mediated by TLR4 and TNF-α stimulation. AMPK-α1 specifically interacts with TAK1 and reciprocally regulates their kinase activities. Upon the stimulation of lipopolysaccharide, AMPK-α1-knockdown (AMPK-) or TAK1-knockdown human monocytic THP-1 cells exhibit a dramatic reduction in the TAK1 or AMPK-α1 kinase activity, respectively, and subsequent suppressions of its downstream signaling cascades, which further leads to inhibitions of NF-κB and thereby productions of proinflammatory cytokines, such as TNF-α, IL-1β, and IL-6. Importantly, the microarray analysis of AMPK- cells revealed a dramatic reduction in the NF-κB-dependent genes induced by TLR4 and TNF-α stimulation, and the observation was in significant correlation with the results of quantitative real-time PCR. Moreover, AMPK- cells are highly sensitive to the TNF-α-induced apoptosis, which is accompanied with dramatic reductions in the NF-κB-dependent and anti-apoptotic genes. As a result, our data demonstrate that AMPK-α1 as an activating kinase of TAK1 has a key role in mediating inflammatory signals triggered by TLR4 and TNF-α
Neutrino properties and the decay of the lightest supersymmetric particle
Supersymmetry with broken R-parity can explain the neutrino mass squared
differences and mixing angles observed in neutrino oscillation experiments. In
the minimal model, where R-parity is broken only by bilinear terms, certain
decay properties of the lightest supersymmetric particle (LSP) are correlated
with neutrino mixing angles. Here we consider charginos, squarks, gluinos and
sneutrinos being the LSP and calculate their decay properties in bilinear
R-parity breaking supersymmetry. Together with the decays of charged scalars
and neutralinos calculated previously this completes the proof that bilinear
R-parity breaking as the source of neutrino masses will be testable at future
colliders. Moreover, we argue that in case of GMSB, the decays of the NLSP can
be used to test the model.Comment: 15 pages, 8 figure
Solar Neutrino Masses and Mixing from Bilinear R-Parity Broken Supersymmetry: Analytical versus Numerical Results
We give an analytical calculation of solar neutrino masses and mixing at
one-loop order within bilinear R-parity breaking supersymmetry, and compare our
results to the exact numerical calculation. Our method is based on a systematic
perturbative expansion of R-parity violating vertices to leading order. We find
in general quite good agreement between approximate and full numerical
calculation, but the approximate expressions are much simpler to implement. Our
formalism works especially well for the case of the large mixing angle MSW
solution (LMA-MSW), now strongly favoured by the recent KamLAND reactor
neutrino data.Comment: 34 pages, 14 ps figs, some clarifying comments adde
A general analysis with trilinear and bilinear R-parity violating couplings in the light of recent SNO data
We analyse an extension of the minimal supersymmetric standard model
including the dominant trilinear and bilinear R-parity violating contributions.
We take the trilinear terms from the superpotential and the bilinear terms from
the superpotential as well as the scalar potential. We compute the neutrino
masses induced by those couplings and determine the allowed ranges of the
R-parity violating parameters that are consistent with the latest SNO results,
atmospheric data and the Chooz constraint. We also estimate the effective mass
for neutrinoless double beta decay in such scenarios.Comment: 7 pages, Revtex, 1 PS figur
