Cancellation of divergences in unitary gauge calculation of process via one W loop, and application
Following the thread of R. Gastmans, S. L. Wu and T. T. Wu, the calculation
in the unitary gauge for the process via one W loop is
repeated, without the specific choice of the independent integrated loop
momentum at the beginning. We start from the 'original' definition of each
Feynman diagram, and show that the 4-momentum conservation and the Ward
identity of the W-W-photon vertex can guarantee the cancellation of all terms
among the Feynman diagrams which are to be integrated to give divergences
higher than logarithmic. The remaining terms are to the most logarithmically
divergent, hence is independent from the set of integrated loop momentum. This
way of doing calculation is applied to process via one W loop
in the unitary gauge, the divergences proportional to including
quadratic ones are all cancelled, and terms proportional to are
shown to be zero. The way of dealing with the quadratic divergences
proportional to in has subtle implication on the
employment on the Feynman rules especially when those rules can lead to high
level divergences. So calculation without integration on all the
functions until have to is a more proper or maybe necessary way of the
employment of the Feynman rules.Comment: 1 figure, 34 pages (updated
Different critical points of chiral and deconfinement phase transitions in (2+1)-dimensional fermion-gauge interacting model
Based on the truncated Dyson-Schwinger equations for fermion and massive
boson propagators in QED, the fermion chiral condensate and the mass
singularities of the fermion propagator via the Schwinger function are
investigated. It is shown that the critical point of chiral phase transition is
apparently different from that of deconfinement phase transition and in Nambu
phase the fermion is confined only for small gauge boson mass.Comment: 5 Pages and 3 figure
Fourth generation Majorana neutrino, dark matter and Higgs physics
We consider extensions of the standard model with fourth generation fermions
(SM4) in which extra symmetries are introduced such that the transitions
between the fourth generation fermions and the ones in the first three
generations are forbidden. In these models, the stringent lower bounds on the
masses of fourth generation quarks from direct searches are relaxed, and the
lightest fourth neutrino is allowed to be stable and light enough to trigger
the Higgs boson invisible decay. In addition, the fourth Majorana neutrino can
be a subdominant but highly detectable dark matter component. We perform a
global analysis of the current LHC data on the Higgs production and decay in
this type of SM4. The results show that the mass of the lightest fourth
Majorana neutrino is confined in the range GeV. Within the allowed
parameter space, the predicted effective cross-section for spin-independent
DM-nucleus scattering is , which is close to the current Xenon100 upper limit and is
within the reach of the Xenon1T experiment in the near future. The predicted
spin-dependent cross sections can also reach .Comment: arXiv admin note: substantial text overlap with arXiv:1110.293
