Naturalness and theoretical constraints on the Higgs boson mass
Arbitrary regularization dependent parameters in Quantum Field Theory are
usually fixed on symmetry or phenomenology grounds. We verify that the
quadratically divergent behavior responsible for the lack of naturalness in the
Standard Model (SM) is intrinsically arbitrary and regularization dependent.
While quadratic divergences are welcome for instance in effective models of low
energy QCD, they pose a problem in the SM treated as an effective theory in the
Higgs sector. Being the very existence of quadratic divergences a matter of
debate, a plausible scenario is to search for a symmetry requirement that could
fix the arbitrary coefficient of the leading quadratic behavior to the Higgs
boson mass to zero. We show that this is possible employing consistency of
scale symmetry breaking by quantum corrections. Besides eliminating a
fine-tuning problem and restoring validity of perturbation theory, this
requirement allows to construct bounds for the Higgs boson mass in terms of
(where is the renormalized Higgs mass and
is the 1-loop Higgs mass correction). Whereas
(perturbative regime) in this scenario allows the Higgs boson mass around the
current accepted value, the inclusion of the quadratic divergence demands
arbitrarily large to reach that experimental value.Comment: 6 pages, 4 figure
Induced Lorentz- and CPT-violating Chern-Simons term in QED: Fock-Schwinger proper time method
Using the Fock-Schwinger proper time method, we calculate the induced
Chern-Simons term arising from the Lorentz- and CPT-violating sector of quantum
electrodynamics with a term. Our
result to all orders in coincides with a recent linear-in- calculation
by Chaichian et al. [hep-th/0010129 v2]. The coincidence was pointed out by
Chung [Phys. Lett. {\bf B461} (1999) 138] and P\'{e}rez-Victoria [Phys. Rev.
Lett. {\bf 83} (1999) 2518] in the standard Feynman diagram calculation with
the nonperturbative-in- propagator.Comment: 11 pages, no figur
On the influence of a Coulomb-like potential induced by the Lorentz symmetry breaking effects on the Harmonic Oscillator
In this work, we obtain bound states for a nonrelativistic spin-half neutral
particle under the influence of a Coulomb-like potential induced by the Lorentz
symmetry breaking effects. We present a new possible scenario of studying the
Lorentz symmetry breaking effects on a nonrelativistic quantum system defined
by a fixed space-like vector field parallel to the radial direction interacting
with a uniform magnetic field along the z-axis. Furthermore, we also discuss
the influence of a Coulomb-like potential induced by Lorentz symmetry violation
effects on the two-dimensional harmonic oscillator.Comment: 14 pages, no figure, this work has been accepted for publication in

Consistency analysis of a nonbirefringent Lorentz-violating planar model
In this work analyze the physical consistency of a nonbirefringent
Lorentz-violating planar model via the analysis of the pole structure of its
Feynman propagators. The nonbirefringent planar model, obtained from the
dimensional reduction of the CPT-even gauge sector of the standard model
extension, is composed of a gauge and a scalar fields, being affected by
Lorentz-violating (LIV) coefficients encoded in the symmetric tensor
. The propagator of the gauge field is explicitly evaluated
and expressed in terms of linear independent symmetric tensors, presenting only
one physical mode. The same holds for the scalar propagator. A consistency
analysis is performed based on the poles of the propagators. The isotropic
parity-even sector is stable, causal and unitary mode for .
On the other hand, the anisotropic sector is stable and unitary but in general
noncausal. Finally, it is shown that this planar model interacting with a
Higgs field supports compactlike vortex configurations.Comment: 11 pages, revtex style, final revised versio
Avaliacao termica ambiental de diferentes sistemas de acondicionamento em maternidades suinicolas.
O objetivo deste trabalho foi estudar as condicoes termicas em diferentes sistemas de acondiconamento termico, em maternidades suinicolas, no verao, utilizando-se os seguintes tratamentos: 1) sala con ventilacao forcada com ar externo (VFE); 2) sala sem sistema de ventilacao forcada (SSV); 3) sala com amplas aberturas de janelas e sistemas de cortinas (SAC) e 4) sala com resfriamento evaporativo (RAE). O delineamento experimental foi inteiramente casualizado, em esquema de parcelas subdivididas, com oito horarios nas subparcelas e quatro repeticoes. Foram utilizadas 104 matrizes, distribuidas aleatoriamente por numero de paricao, em quatro lotes de 26 matrizes. Indice de temperatura de globo e umidade (ITGU), carga termica radiante (CTR), indice bioclimatico (IBC) e umidade relativa do ar (UR) foram estimados. No verao, o tratamento SAC foi o que obteve os menores valores de ITGU, CTR e IBC. As maternidades suinicolas com amplas aberturas de janelas e sistemas de cortinas proporcionaram condicoes termicas ambientais mais favoraveis para as porcas em lactacao, no Estado de Santa Catarina, no verao
