    Role of resonances in rho^0 -> pi^+ pi^- gamma

    Full text link
    We study the effect of the sigma(600) and a_1(1260) resonances in the rho^0 -> pi^+ pi^- gamma decay, within the meson dominance model. Major effects are driven by the mass and width parameters of the sigma(600), and the usually neglected contribution of the a_1(1260), although small by itself, may become sizable through its interference with pion bremsstrahlung, and the proper relative sign can favor the central value of the experimental branching ratio. We present a procedure, using the gauge invariant structure of the resonant amplitudes, to kinematically enhance the resonant effects in the angular and energy distribution of the photon. We also elaborate on the coupling constants involved.Comment: 5 pages, 5 figures, accepted for publication in PR

    No-Scale Inflation

    Full text link
    Supersymmetry is the most natural framework for physics above the TeV scale, and the corresponding framework for early-Universe cosmology, including inflation, is supergravity. No-scale supergravity emerges from generic string compactifications and yields a non-negative potential, and is therefore a plausible framework for constructing models of inflation. No-scale inflation yields naturally predictions similar to those of the Starobinsky model based on R+R2R + R^2 gravity, with a tilted spectrum of scalar perturbations: ns0.96n_s \sim 0.96, and small values of the tensor-to-scalar perturbation ratio r<0.1r < 0.1, as favoured by Planck and other data on the cosmic microwave background (CMB). Detailed measurements of the CMB may provide insights into the embedding of inflation within string theory as well as its links to collider physics.Comment: Invited contribution to the forthcoming Classical and Quantum Gravity focus issue on "Planck and the fundamentals of cosmology". 22 pages, 7 figures, uses psfra

    Phenomenological Aspects of No-Scale Inflation Models

    Full text link
    We discuss phenomenological aspects of no-scale supergravity inflationary models motivated by compactified string models, in which the inflaton may be identified either as a K\"ahler modulus or an untwisted matter field, focusing on models that make predictions for the scalar spectral index nsn_s and the tensor-to-scalar ratio rr that are similar to the Starobinsky model. We discuss possible patterns of soft supersymmetry breaking, exhibiting examples of the pure no-scale type m0=B0=A0=0m_0 = B_0 = A_0 = 0, of the CMSSM type with universal A0A_0 and m00m_0 \ne 0 at a high scale, and of the mSUGRA type with A0=B0+m0A_0 = B_0 + m_0 boundary conditions at the high input scale. These may be combined with a non-trivial gauge kinetic function that generates gaugino masses m1/20m_{1/2} \ne 0, or one may have a pure gravity mediation scenario where trilinear terms and gaugino masses are generated through anomalies. We also discuss inflaton decays and reheating, showing possible decay channels for the inflaton when it is either an untwisted matter field or a K\"ahler modulus. Reheating is very efficient if a matter field inflaton is directly coupled to MSSM fields, and both candidates lead to sufficient reheating in the presence of a non-trivial gauge kinetic function.Comment: 41 pages, 6 figure

    A No-Scale Inflationary Model to Fit Them All

    The magnitude of B-mode polarization in the cosmic microwave background as measured by BICEP2 favours models of chaotic inflation with a quadratic m2ϕ2/2m^2 \phi^2/2 potential, whereas data from the Planck satellite favour a small value of the tensor-to-scalar perturbation ratio rr that is highly consistent with the Starobinsky R+R2R + R^2 model. Reality may lie somewhere between these two scenarios. In this paper we propose a minimal two-field no-scale supergravity model that interpolates between quadratic and Starobinsky-like inflation as limiting cases, while retaining the successful prediction ns0.96n_s \simeq 0.96.Comment: 25 pages, 12 figure

    Temperature dependent dynamic and static magnetic response in magnetic tunnel junctions with Permalloy layers

    Full text link
    Ferromagnetic resonance and static magnetic properties of CoFe/Al2O3/CoFe/Py and CoFe/Al2O3/CoFeB/Py magnetic tunnel junctions and of 25nm thick single-layer Permalloy(Py) films have been studied as a function of temperature down to 2K. The temperature dependence of the ferromagnetic resonance excited in the Py layers in magnetic tunnel junctions shows knee-like enhancement of the resonance frequency accompanied by an anomaly in the magnetization near 60K. We attribute the anomalous static and dynamic magnetic response at low temperatures to interface stress induced magnetic reorientation transition at the Py interface which could be influenced by dipolar soft-hard layer coupling through the Al2O3 barrier

    Calculations of Inflaton Decays and Reheating: with Applications to No-Scale Inflation Models

    Full text link
    We discuss inflaton decays and reheating in no-scale Starobinsky-like models of inflation, calculating the effective equation-of-state parameter, ww, during the epoch of inflaton decay, the reheating temperature, TrehT_{\rm reh}, and the number of inflationary e-folds, NN_*, comparing analytical approximations with numerical calculations. We then illustrate these results with applications to models based on no-scale supergravity and motivated by generic string compactifications, including scenarios where the inflaton is identified as an untwisted-sector matter field with direct Yukawa couplings to MSSM fields, and where the inflaton decays via gravitational-strength interactions. Finally, we use our results to discuss the constraints on these models imposed by present measurements of the scalar spectral index nsn_s and the tensor-to-scalar perturbation ratio rr, converting them into constraints on NN_*, the inflaton decay rate and other parameters of specific no-scale inflationary models.Comment: 33 pages, 14 figure
