    130 GeV gamma-ray line and enhancement of h→γγh\to\gamma\gamma in the Higgs triplet model plus a scalar dark matter

    Full text link
    With a discrete Z2Z_2 symmetry being imposed, we introduce a real singlet scalar SS to the Higgs triplet model with the motivation of explaining the tentative evidence for a spectral feature at EγE_\gamma = 130 GeV in the Fermi LAT data. The model can naturally satisfy the experimental constraints of the dark matter relic density and direct detection data from Xenon100. The doubly charged and one charged scalars can enhance the annihilation cross section of SS→γγSS\to\gamma\gamma via the one-loop contributions, and give the negligible contributions to the relic density. SS→γγ_{SS\to\gamma\gamma} for mS=130m_{S}=130 GeV can reach \ord(1)\times10^{-27} cm^3 s^{-1} for the small charged scalar masses and the coupling constant of larger than 1. Besides, this model also predict a second photon peak at 114 GeV from the annihilation SS→γZSS\to\gamma Z, and the cross section is approximately 0.76 times that of SS→γγSS\to\gamma \gamma, which is below the upper limit reported by Fermi LAT. Finally, the light charged scalars can enhance LHC diphoton Higgs rate, and make it to be consistent with the experimental data reported by ATLAS and CMS.Comment: 15 pages, 4 figure

    Dynamics of Gravity as Thermodynamics on the Spherical Holographic Screen

    Full text link
    The dynamics of general Lovelock gravity, viewed on an arbitrary spherically symmetric surface as a holographic screen, is recast as the form of some generalized first law of thermodynamics on the screen. From this observation together with other two distinct aspects, where exactly the same temperature and entropy on the screen arise, it is argued that the thermodynamic interpretation of gravity is physically meaningful not only on the horizon, but also on a general spherically symmetric screen.Comment: 10 pages, revtex4; v2: minor corrections, references added? v3: the summary paragraph replaced by the discussion of the general static case, minor corrections/clarifications/modifications, references added, match the published versio

    Heavy quark spin symmetric molecular states from Dˉ(∗)Σc(∗){\bar D}^{(*)}\Sigma_c^{(*)} and other coupled channels in the light of the recent LHCb pentaquarks

    Full text link
    We consider the Dˉ(∗)Σc(∗){\bar D}^{(*)}\Sigma_c^{(*)} states, together with J/ψNJ/\psi N and other coupled channels, and take an interaction consistent with heavy quark spin symmetry, with the dynamical input obtained from an extension of the local hidden gauge approach. By fitting only one parameter to the recent three pentaquark states reported by the LHCb collaboration, we can reproduce the three of them in base to the mass and the width, providing for them the quantum numbers and approximate molecular structure as 1/2−1/2^- DˉΣc\bar{D} \Sigma_c, 1/2−1/2^- Dˉ∗Σc\bar{D}^* \Sigma_c, and 3/2−3/2^- Dˉ∗Σc\bar{D}^* \Sigma_c, and isospin I=1/2I=1/2. We find another state around 4374 MeV, of 3/2−3/2^- DˉΣc∗\bar{D} \Sigma_c^* structure, for which indications appear in the experimental spectrum. Two other near degenerate states of 1/2−1/2^- Dˉ∗Σc∗\bar{D}^* \Sigma_c^* and 3/2−3/2^- Dˉ∗Σc∗\bar{D}^* \Sigma_c^* nature are also found around 4520 MeV, which although less clear, are not incompatible with the observed spectrum. In addition, a 5/2−5/2^- Dˉ∗Σc∗\bar D^* \Sigma_c^* state at the same energy appears, which however does not couple to J/ψpJ/\psi p in S−S-wave, and hence it is not expected to show up in the LHCb experiment.Comment: 8 page

    Classes of Measures Generated by Capacities

    Full text link
    We introduce classes of measures in the half-space R+n+1,\mathbf{R}^{n+1}_+, generated by Riesz, or Bessel, or Besov capacities in Rn\mathbf{R}^n, and give a geometric characterization as Carleson-type measures

    U(1)U(1) gauge vector field on a codimension-2 brane

    Full text link
    In this paper, we obtain a gauge invariant effective action for a bulk massless U(1)U(1) gauge vector field on a brane with codimension two by using a general Kaluza-Klein (KK) decomposition for the field. It suggests that there exist two types of scalar KK modes to keep the gauge invariance of the action for the massive vector KK modes. Both the vector and scalar KK modes can be massive. The masses of the vector KK modes m(n)m^{(n)} contain two parts, m1(n)m_{1}^{(n)} and m2(n)m_{2}^{(n)}, due to the existence of the two extra dimensions. The masses of the two types of scalar KK modes mϕ(n)m_{\phi}^{(n)} and mφ(n)m_{\varphi}^{(n)} are related to the vector ones, i.e., mϕ(n)=m1(n)m_{\phi}^{(n)}=m_{1}^{(n)} and mφ(n)=m2(n)m_{\varphi}^{(n)}=m_{2}^{(n)}. Moreover, we derive two Schr\"{o}dinger-like equations for the vector KK modes, for which the effective potentials are just the functions of the warp factor.Comment: 15 pages,no figures, accepted by JHE
