Direct searches of Type III seesaw triplet fermions at high energy collider
The signatures of heavy fermionic triplets () arising in scenarios
like Type III seesaw model are probed through their direct production and
subsequent decay at high energy electron-positron collider. Unlike the case of
LHC, the production process has strong dependence on the mixing parameter
(), making the leptonic collider unique to probe such mixing. We
have established that with suitably chosen kinematic cuts, a 1 TeV
collider could probe the presence of of mass in the range of 500 GeV
having with a few inverse femto barn luminosity through single
production. The cross section is found to be not sufficient to probe the case
of triplet-muon mixing through single triplet production. On the other hand,
the pair production considered at 2 TeV centre of mass energy is capable of
probing both the mixing scenarios efficiently. Studying the mass reach,
presence of charged fermionic triplets upto a mass of about 980 GeV could be
established at level through single production at a 1 TeV
collider with moderate luminosity of 100 fb, assuming . The
pair production case requires larger luminosity, as the cross section is
smaller in this case. With an integrated luminosity of 300 fb, the mass
reach in this case is close to 1 TeV with triplet-muon mixing, while it is
slightly lower at about 950 GeV in the case of .Comment: 26 pages, 5 Figure
Laser phase modulation approaches towards ensemble quantum computing
Selective control of decoherence is demonstrated for a multilevel system by
generalizing the instantaneous phase of any chirped pulse as individual terms
of a Taylor series expansion. In the case of a simple two-level system, all odd
terms in the series lead to population inversion while the even terms lead to
self-induced transparency. These results also hold for multiphoton transitions
that do not have any lower-order photon resonance or any intermediate virtual
state dynamics within the laser pulse-width. Such results form the basis of a
robustly implementable CNOT gate.Comment: 10 pages, 4 figures, PRL (accepted
On the absence of the usual weak-field limit, and the impossibility of embedding some known solutions for isolated masses in cosmologies with f(R) dark energy
This version deposited at arxiv 02-10-12 arXiv:1210.0730v1. Subsequently published in Physical Review D as Phys. Rev. D 87, 063517 (2013) http://link.aps.org/doi/10.1103/PhysRevD.87.063517. Copyright American Physical Society (APS).11 pages11 pages11 pages11 pagesThe problem of matching different regions of spacetime in order to construct inhomogeneous cosmological models is investigated in the context of Lagrangian theories of gravity constructed from general analytic functions f(R), and from non-analytic theories with f(R)=R^n. In all of the cases studied, we find that it is impossible to satisfy the required junction conditions without the large-scale behaviour reducing to that expected from Einstein's equations with a cosmological constant. For theories with analytic f(R) this suggests that the usual treatment of weak-field systems may not be compatible with late-time acceleration driven by anything other than a constant term of the form f(0), which acts like a cosmological constant. For theories with f(R)=R^n we find that no known spherically symmetric vacuum solutions can be matched to an expanding FLRW background. This includes the absence of any Einstein-Straus-like embeddings of the Schwarzschild exterior solution in FLRW spacetimes
TeV Scale Left-Right Symmetry and Large Mixing Effects in Neutrinoless Double Beta Decay
We analyze various contributions to neutrinoless double beta decay
() in a TeV-scale Left-Right Symmetric Model (LRSM) for type-I
seesaw dominance. We find that the momentum-dependent effects due to
exchange (-diagram) and mixing (-diagram) could give
dominant contributions to the amplitude in a wide range of the
LRSM parameter space. In particular, for a relatively large mixing,
the -contribution by itself could saturate the current experimental limit
on the half-life, thereby providing stringent constraints on
the relevant LRSM parameters, complementary to the indirect constraints derived
from lepton flavor violating observables. In a simplified scenario parametrized
by a single light-heavy neutrino mixing, the inclusion of the and
contributions leads to significantly improved
constraints on the light-heavy neutrino mixing as well as on the
mixing parameters. We also present a concrete TeV-scale LRSM setup, where the
mixing effects are manifestly enhanced, and discuss the interplay between
, lepton flavor violation and electric dipole moment
constraints.Comment: 33 pages, 7 figures, 2 table
