Has the anomalous single production of the fourth SM family quarks decaying into light Higgs boson been observed by CDF?
Superjet events observed by the CDF Collaboration are interpreted as
anomalous single production of the fourth SM family u_4 quark, decaying into a
new light scalar particle. The specific predictions of the proposed mechanism
are discussed.Comment: 5 pages, 1 tabl
Impact of the relatively light fourth family neutrino on the Higgs boson search
The existence of a fourth fermion generation has mostly been considered as a
source of enhanced Higgs signals with respect to the 3 family Standard Model
predictions. However, a fourth Standard Model family neutrino could cause the
opposite situation. It is shown that relatively light fourth family neutrino
(2m_(nu_(4))<m_(H)) could drastically change the interpretation of the search
results for the Higgs boson, especially if m_(H)<170 GeV.Comment: 5 pages, 9 figure
Anomalous single production of the fourth SM family quarks at Tevatron
Possible single productions of fourth family u_{4} and d_{4} quarks via
anomalous q_{4}qV interactions at Tevatron are studied. Signature of such
processes are discussed and compared with the recent results from Tevatron.Comment: 6 pages, 1 figure, 4 table
The anticommutator spin algebra, its representations and quantum group invariance
We define a 3-generator algebra obtained by replacing the commutators by
anticommutators in the defining relations of the angular momentum algebra. We
show that integer spin representations are in one to one correspondence with
those of the angular momentum algebra. The half-integer spin representations,
on the other hand, split into two representations of dimension j + 1/2. The
anticommutator spin algebra is invariant under the action of the quantum group
SO_q(3) with q=-1.Comment: 7 A4 page
Fourth Generation Pseudoscalar Quarkonium Production and Observability at Hadron Colliders
The pseudoscalar quarkonium state, eta_4 1^S_0, formed by the Standard Model
(SM) fourth generation quarks, is the best candidate among the fourth
generation quarkonia to be produced at the LHC and VLHC. The production of this
J^{PC} = 0^{-+} resonance is discussed and the background processes are studied
to obtain the integrated luminosity limits for the discovery, depending on its
mass.Comment: 13 pages, 4 figures, 5 table
Can hyperbolic phase of Brans-Dicke field account for Dark Matter?
We show that the introduction of a hyperbolic phase for Brans-Dicke (BD)
field results in a flat vacuum cosmological solution of Hubble parameter H and
fractional rate of change of BD scalar field, F which asymptotically approach
constant values. At late stages, hyperbolic phase of BD field behaves like dark
matter
Droplet motion driven by surface freezing or melting: A mesoscopic hydrodynamic approach
A fluid droplet may exhibit self-propelled motion by modifying the wetting
properties of the substrate. We propose a novel model for droplet propagation
upon a terraced landscape of ordered layers formed as a result of surface
freezing driven by the contact angle dependence on the terrace thickness.
Simultaneous melting or freezing of the terrace edge results in a joint
droplet-terrace motion. The model is tested numerically and compared to
experimental observations on long-chain alkane system in the vicinity of the
surface melting point.Comment: 4 pages, 3 figure
Static Cylindrical Matter Shells
Static cylindrical shells composed of massive particles arising from matching
of two different Levi-Civita space-times are studied for the shell satisfying
either isotropic or anisotropic equation of state. We find that these solutions
satisfy the energy conditions for certain ranges of the parameters.Comment: 9 pages, 3 figures, Latex; Final version, To appear in General
