On the Sources of CP-violation Contributing to the Electric Dipole Moments
In the framework of seesaw mechanism embedded in the constrained Minimal
Supersymmetric Standard Model (cMSSM), phases of neutrino Yukawa coupling,
-term and -terms can all contribute to the Electric Dipole Moment (EDM)
of the electron. We discuss and classify the situations for which by combined
analysis of the upcoming results on , and
discriminating between these sources will be possible.Comment: 6 pages, 4 figures, talk presented at IPM-LHP06, Tehran, Ira
The Higgs masses and explicit CP violation in the gluino-axion model
In this work, we adress the phenomenological consequences of explicit CP
violation on direct Higgs-boson searches at high energy colliders. Having a
restricted parameter space, we concentrate on the recently proposed
gluino-axion model, and investigate the CP violation capability of the model
subject to the recent experimental data. It is shown that the Higgs masses as
well as their CP compositions are quite sensitive to the supersymmetric CP
phases. The lightest Higgs is found to be nearly CP even to a good
approximation whilst the remaining two heavy scalars do not have definite CP
parities.Comment: 20 pp, 14 eps figs, title is changed, the manuscript is improved

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
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.

The CP properties of the lightest Higgs boson with sbottom effects
In the framework of the recently proposed gluino-axion model, using the
effective potential method and taking into account the top-stop as well as the
bottom-sbottom effects, we discuss the CP--properties of the lightest Higgs
boson, in particular its CP--odd composition, which can offer new opportunities
at collider searches. It is found that although the CP-odd composition of the
lightest Higgs increases slightly with the inclusion of the sbottom effects, it
never exceeds %0.17 for all values of the renormalization scale Q ranging from
top mass to TeV scaleComment: 24 pp, 12 eps fig
Motion capture and human pose reconstruction from a single-view video sequence
Cataloged from PDF version of article.We propose a framework to reconstruct the 3D pose of a human for animation from a sequence of single-view video frames. The framework for pose construction starts with background estimation and the performer's silhouette is extracted using image subtraction for each frame. Then the body silhouettes are automatically labeled using a model-based approach. Finally, the 3D pose is constructed from the labeled human silhouette by assuming orthographic projection. The proposed approach does not require camera calibration. It assumes that the input video has a static background, it has no significant perspective effects, and the performer is in an upright position. The proposed approach requires minimal user interaction. (C) 2013 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved
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
Additive manufacturing of Ti-6Al-4V alloy by micro-laser metal wire deposition with pulsed wave emission: processability and microstructure formation
In this work, the micro-laser metal wire deposition (μLMWD) with ms-pulsed wave emission and low duty cycles was utilized to build the Ti-6Al-4V thin walls. The work first investigated the influence of the process parameters on single track stability and geometry. With the developed processing conditions thin walls with multiple layers were produced. The μLMWD produced thin walls were characterized by fine grain size expected to be due to the columnar to equiaxed transition (CET) in the produced wall. Fine columnar grains formed in the bottom region of wall due to the restriction of melt pool size and large cooling speed, while equiaxed grain formation and further refinement were achieved in the middle region, attributed to the intermittent stirring force that broke dendritic arms and increased nucleation events before solid–liquid interface. From the bottom to top region microstructures transferred from acicular α′ to short α lamella constituting basketweave structure, and the periodic heating and cooling generating by pulsed laser reduced the acicular α′ at higher cooling rate and decreased α size. The forming of equiaxed grain and fine grain and microstructure increased the wall microhardness
