The D0 same-charge dimuon asymmetry and possibile new CP violation sources in the system
Recently, the D0 collaboration reported a large CP violation in the same-sign
dimuon charge asymmetry which has the deviation from the value
estimated in the Standard Model. In this paper, several new physics models are
considered: the MSSM, two Higgs doublet model, the recent dodeca model, and a
new model. Generally, it is hard to achieve such a large CP violation
consistently with other experimental constraints. We find that a scheme with
extra non-anomalous U(1) gauge symmetry is barely consistent. In general,
the extra gauge boson induces the flavor changing neutral current
interactions at tree level, which is the basic reason allowing a large new
physics CP violation. To preserve the U(1) symmetry at high energy,
SU(2) singlet exotic heavy quarks of mass above 1 TeV and the Standard
Model gauge singlet scalars are introduced.Comment: 12 pages, 13 figure
Dynamical evolution of the mass function and radial profile of the Galactic globular cluster system
Evolution of the mass function (MF) and radial distribution (RD) of the
Galactic globular cluster (GC) system is calculated using an advanced and a
realistic Fokker-Planck (FP) model that considers dynamical friction,
disc/bulge shocks and eccentric cluster orbits. We perform hundreds of FP
calculations with different initial cluster conditions, and then search a
wide-parameter space for the best-fitting initial GC MF and RD that evolves
into the observed present-day Galactic GC MF and RD. By allowing both MF and RD
of the initial GC system to vary, which is attempted for the first time in the
present Letter, we find that our best-fitting models have a higher peak mass
for a lognormal initial MF and a higher cut-off mass for a power-law initial MF
than previous estimates, but our initial total masses in GCs, M_{T,i} =
1.5-1.8x10^8 Msun, are comparable to previous results. Significant findings
include that our best-fitting lognormal MF shifts downward by 0.35 dex during
the period of 13 Gyr, and that our power-law initial MF models well-fit the
observed MF and RD only when the initial MF is truncated at >~10^5 Msun. We
also find that our results are insensitive to the initial distribution of orbit
eccentricity and inclination, but are rather sensitive to the initial
concentration of the clusters and to how the initial tidal radius is defined.
If the clusters are assumed to be formed at the apocentre while filling the
tidal radius there, M_{T,i} can be as high as 6.9x10^8 Msun, which amounts to
~75 per cent of the current mass in the stellar halo.Comment: To appear in May 2008 issue of MNRAS, 386, L6
Hawking Radiation of Black p-Branes from Gravitational Anomaly
We investigate the Hawking radiation of black -branes of superstring
theories using the method of anomaly cancelation, specially, we use the method
of [S. Iso, H. Umetsu and F. Wilczek, {\sl Phys. Rev. Lett.} {\bf 96}, 151302
(2006); {\sl Phys. Rev. D} {\bf 74}, 044017 (2006)]. The metrics of black
-branes are spherically symmetric, but not the Schwarzschild type. In order
to simplify the calculation, we first make a coordinate transformation to
transform the metric to the Schwarzschild type. Then we calculate its
energy-momentum flux from the method of anomaly cancelation of the above
mentioned references. The obtained energy-momentum flux is equal to a black
body radiation, the thermodynamic temperature of the radiation is equal to its
Hawking temperature. And we find that the results are not changed for the
original non-Schwarzschild type spherically symmetric metric.Comment: 19 pages Latex, some mistakes correcte
Gauge potential singularities and the gluon condensate at finite temperatures
The continuum limit of SU(2) lattice gauge theory is carefully investigated
at zero and at finite temperatures. It is found that the continuum gauge field
has singularities originating from center degrees of freedom being discovered
in Landau gauge. Our numerical results show that the density of these
singularities properly extrapolates to a non-vanishing continuum limit. The
action density of the non-trivial Z_2 links is tentatively identified with the
gluon condensate. We find for temperatures larger than the deconfinement
temperature that the thermal fluctuations of the embedded Z_2 gauge theory
result in an increase of the gluon condensate with increasing temperature.Comment: 3 pages, 2 figures, talk presented by K. Langfeld at the 19th

Monolithic arrays of surface emitting laser NOR logic devices
Monolithic, cascadable, laser-logic-device arrays have been realized and characterized. The monolithic surface-emitting laser logic (SELL) device consists of an AlGaAs superlattice lasing around 780 nm connected to a heterojunction phototransistor (HPT) in parallel and a resistor in series. Arrays up to 8×8 have been fabricated, and 2×2 arrays show uniform characteristics. The optical logic output is switched off with 40 μW incident optical input

Painlev\'{e} analysis of the coupled nonlinear Schr\"{o}dinger equation for polarized optical waves in an isotropic medium
Using the Painlev\'{e} analysis, we investigate the integrability properties
of a system of two coupled nonlinear Schr\"{o}dinger equations that describe
the propagation of orthogonally polarized optical waves in an isotropic medium.
Besides the well-known integrable vector nonlinear Schr\"{o}dinger equation, we
show that there exist a new set of equations passing the Painlev\'{e} test
where the self and cross phase modulational terms are of different magnitude.
We introduce the Hirota bilinearization and the B\"{a}cklund transformation to
obtain soliton solutions and prove integrability by making a change of
variables. The conditions on the third-order susceptibility tensor imposed by these new integrable equations are explained
Fingerprints of Random Flows?
We consider the patterns formed by small rod-like objects advected by a
random flow in two dimensions. An exact solution indicates that their direction
field is non-singular. However, we find from simulations that the direction
field of the rods does appear to exhibit singularities. First, ` scar lines'
emerge where the rods abruptly change direction by . Later, these scar
lines become so narrow that they ` heal over' and disappear, but their ends
remain as point singularities, which are of the same type as those seen in
fingerprints. We give a theoretical explanation for these observations.Comment: 21 pages, 11 figure
