The effect of supersymmetric CP phases on Chargino-Pair Production via Drell-Yan Process at the LHC
We compute the rates for pp annihilation into chargino-pairs via Drell-Yan
process taking into account the effects of supersymmetric soft phases, at
proton-proton collider. In particular, the phase of the mu parameter gains
direct accessibility via the production of dissimilar charginos. The phases of
the trilinear soft masses do not have a significant effect on the cross
sections.Comment: 24 pages, 7 figure
Realistic Gluino Axion Model Consistent with Supersymmetry Breaking at the TeV Scale
The recently proposed model of using the dynamical phase of the gluino to
solve the strong CP problem is shown to admit a specific realization in terms
of fundamental singlet superfields, such that the breaking of supersymmetry
occurs only at the TeV scale, despite the large axion scale of 10^{9} to
10^{12} GeV. Phenomenological implications are discussed.Comment: 12 pp, 2 fig
The Constraints on CP Violating Phases in models with a dynamical gluino phase
We have analyzed the electric dipole moment and the Higgs mass constraints on
the supersymmetric model which offers dynamical solutions to the \mu and strong
CP problems. The trilinear coupling phases, and \tan\beta-|\mu| are strongly
correlated, particularly in the low-\tan\beta regime. Certain values of the
phases of the trilinear couplings are forbidden, whereas the CP violating phase
from the chargino sector is imprisoned to lie near a CP conserving point, by
the Higgs mass and electric dipole moment constraints.Comment: 19 pages, 11 eps fig
Renormalization Group Invariants in the MSSM and Its Extensions
We derive one-loop renormalization group (RG) invariant observables and
analyze their phenomenological implications in the MSSM and its \mu problem
solving extensions, U(1)' model and NMSSM. We show that there exist several RG
invariants in the gauge, Yukawa and soft-breaking sectors of each model. In
general, RG invariants are highly useful for projecting experimental data to
messenger scale, for revealing correlations among the model parameters, and for
probing the mechanism that breaks supersymmetry. The Yukawa couplings and
trilinear soft terms in U(1)' model and NMSSM do not form RG invariants though
there exist approximate invariants in low tan(beta). In the NMSSM, there are no
invariants that contain the Higgs mass-squareds. We provide a comparative
analysis of RG invariants in all three models and analyze their model-building
and phenomenological implications by a number of case studies.Comment: 32 pages, 5 tables; extended previous analysis to include U(1)'
models and NMSSM where a comparative discussion is give
Facial soft tissue changes after orthodontic treatment
Objectives: To successfully meet expectations on facial esthetics, it is important to understand normal craniofacial growth and the impact of orthodontic treatment thereon. To date, there have been few studies documenting changes in facial esthetics through photography. The objective of this study was to compare facial soft tissue esthetics beforeand after orthodontic treatment by means of photographic analysis.Materials and Methods: The 45 children were divided into 3 groups according to Anglefs classification: Groups I, II, and III comprised children with class I, II, and III malocclusion, respectively. Photographs were analyzed with a software. Twenty.one soft tissue landmarks were identified on profile and frontal photographs, ratios and angles were calculated. Results: For group I, there was no difference between pre. and post.treatment facial analysis. For group II, there were significant changes in 5 values. The most significant changes were observed for A-N-B and Al-Me/Ch-Me. For group III, we noted significant changes for 5 values. The most significant change was observed for N-Pn-Pog. Conclusion: There were significant changes in facial soft tissue esthetics after orthodontic treatment for class II and III cases. Changes in A.N.B and nose tip angle (N-Pn-Cm) were observed for class II and class III subjects.Key words: Aesthetics, photograph, soft tissu
Optimization of double drive pulse pumping in Ne-like Ge x-ray lasers
Pumping of the Ne-like Ge x-ray laser with two 100 ps duration pulses (a prepulse and main pulse) is investigated using a fluid and atomic physics code coupled to a 3D ray tracing postprocessor code. The modeling predicts the optimum ratio of the irradiance of the two pulses for the maximum x-ray laser output resulting from the balance between the relative lower electron density gradients and wider gain region which is produced with a larger prepulse and the higher peak gain coefficients produced with a small prepulse. With a longer pulse interval between prepulse and main pulse, a relatively lower optimum pulse ratio is found. The threshold irradiance of the main driving pulse with a prepulse required to make an order of magnitude enhancement of laser output compared to irradiation without a prepulse is also found at 3-4x10(13) W/cm(2) for Ne-like Ge.

Onion-Like (CdSe)ZnS/CdSe/ZnS quantum-dot-quantum-well heteronanocrystals for investigation of multi-color emission
Cataloged from PDF version of article.We investigate multi-color spontaneous emission from quantum-dot-quantum-well heteronanocrystals made of onion-like (CdSe) ZnS/CdSe/ZnS ( core) shell/shell/shell structures, with our theoretical results explaining experimental measurements for the first time. In such multi-layered heteronanocrystals, we discover that the carrier localization is tuned from type-1-like to type-2-like localization by controlling CdSe and ZnS shell thicknesses, and that 3-monolayer ZnS barriers are not necessarily sufficient for carrier localization, unlike in conventional ( CdSe) ZnS ( core) shell structures. We demonstrate that exciton localization in distinct layers of ( CdSe) ZnS/CdSe/ZnS heteronanocrystals with high transition probability ( for n=1 states in CdSe core and n=2 states in CdSe shell) is key to their multi-color emission.
