Extending the Higgs sector: an extra singlet
An extension of the Standard Model with an additional Higgs singlet is
analyzed. Bounds on singlet admixture in 125 GeV h boson from electroweak
radiative corrections and data on h production and decays are obtained.
Possibility of double h production enhancement at 14 TeV LHC due to heavy higgs
contribution is considered.Comment: 18 pages, 7 figures. v2: one equation added; references received

New Physics at 1 TeV?
If decays of a heavy particle S are responsible for the diphoton excess with
invariant mass 750 GeV observed at the 13 TeV LHC run, it can be easily
accomodated in the Standard Model. Two scenarios are considered: production in
gluon fusion through a loop of heavy isosinglet quark(s) and production in
photon fusion through a loop of heavy isosinglet leptons. In the second case
many heavy leptons are needed or/and they should have large electric charges in
order to reproduce experimental data on .Comment: 7 pages, 4 figures, 1 tabl
Chemistry-climate model SOCOL: a validation of the present-day climatology
In this paper we document 'SOCOL', a new chemistry-climate model, which has been ported for regular PCs and shows good wall-clock performance. An extensive validation of the model results against present-day climate data obtained from observations and assimilation data sets shows that the model describes the climatological state of the atmosphere for the late 1990s with reasonable accuracy. The model has a significant temperature bias only in the upper stratosphere and near the tropopause at high latitudes. The latter is the result of the rather low vertical resolution of the model near the tropopause. The former can be attributed to a crude representation of radiation heating in the middle atmosphere. A comparison of the simulated and observed link between the tropical stratospheric structure and the strength of the polar vortex shows that in general, both observations and simulations reveal a higher temperature and ozone mixing ratio in the lower tropical stratosphere for the case with stronger Polar night jet (PNJ) and slower Brewer-Dobson circulation as predicted by theoretical studies

Once more on extra quark-lepton generations and precision measurements
Precision measurements of -boson parameters and -boson and -quark
masses put strong constraints on non singlet New Physics. We
demonstrate that one extra generation passes electroweak constraints even when
all new particle masses are well above their direct mass bounds.Comment: Dedicated to L.B. Okun's 80th birthda
Nonlinear acoustic waves in channels with variable cross sections
The point symmetry group is studied for the generalized Webster-type equation
describing non-linear acoustic waves in lossy channels with variable cross
sections. It is shown that, for certain types of cross section profiles, the
admitted symmetry group is extended and the invariant solutions corresponding
to these profiles are obtained. Approximate analytic solutions to the
generalized Webster equation are derived for channels with smoothly varying
cross sections and arbitrary initial conditions.Comment: Revtex4, 10 pages, 2 figure. This is an enlarged contribution to

scattering at the LHC with the lepton pair production and one proton tagging
Analytical formulas for the cross section of the reaction are presented. Fiducial cross sections are compared with those
measured recently by the ATLAS collaboration.Comment: 12 pages, 1 figur
Weak interaction corrections to muon pair production via the photon fusion at the LHC
Analytical formulas describing the correction due to the boson exchange
to the cross section of the reaction are
presented. When the invariant mass of the produced muon pair and its total transverse momentum is large, the correction is
of the order of 20%.Comment: 17 pages, 5 figure
