Possible Effects of the Existence of the 4th Generation Neutrino
The 4th generation of fermions predicted by the phenomenology of heterotic
string models can possess new strictly conserved charge, which leads, in
particular, to the hypothesis of the existence of the 4th generation massive
stable neutrino. The compatibility of this hypothesis with the results of
underground experiment DAMA searching for weakly interactive particles of dark
matter and with the EGRET measurements of galactic gamma--background at
energies above 1 GeV fixes the possible mass of the 4th neutrino at the value
about 50 GeV. The possibility to test the hypothesis in accelerator experiments
is considered. Positron signal from the annihilation of relic massive neutrinos
in the galactic halo is calculated and is shown to be accessible for planned
cosmic ray experiments.Comment: 10 pages, 4 PostScript figure, Latex2
Antiprotons Annihilation in the Galaxy As A Source of Diffuse Gamma Background
The existence of antimatter domains in baryon asymmetrical Universe can
appear as the cosmological consequence of particle theory in inflationary
models with non-homogeneous baryosynthesis. Such a domain can survive in the
early Universe and form globular cluster of antimatter stars in our Galaxy. The
model of antimatter pollution of Galaxy and annihilation with matter gas is
developed. The proton-antiproton annihilation gamma flux is shown to reproduce
the observed galactic gamma background measured by EGRET. From comparison with
observational data the estimation on the maximally allowed amount of antimatter
stars, possibly present in our Galaxy, is found.Comment: LaTeX2e, 18 pages, 3 PostScript figures. Submitted to Yad.Fi
Tensor polarizability of the vector mesons from lattice gauge theory
The magnetic dipole polarizabilities of the vector and
mesons in pure gauge theory are calculated in the article. Based on
this the authors explore the contribution of the dipole magnetic
polarizabilities to the tensor polarization of the vector mesons in external
abelian magnetic field. The tensor polarization leads to the dilepton asymmetry
observed in non-central heavy ion collisions and can be also estimated in
lattice gauge theory.Comment: 18 pages, 7 figures, 6 table
