Muon g-2 Anomaly confronted with the higgs global data in the Left-Right Twin Higgs Models

We will examine the Left-Right Twin Higgs(LRTH) Models as a solution of muon g-2 anomaly with the background of the Higgs global fit data. In the calculation, the joint constrains from the theory, the precision electroweak data, the 125 GeV Higgs data, the leptonic flavor changing decay \mu \to e\gamma decays, and the constraints m_{\nu_R}>m_T>m_{W_H} are all considered. And with the small mass of the \phi^0, the direct searches from the $h\to \phi^0\phi^0$ channels can impose stringent upper limits on Br(h\to \phi^0\phi^0) and can reduce the allowed region of m_{\phi^0} and f. It is concluded that the muon g-2 anomaly can be explained in the region of 200 GeV \leq M\leq 500 GeV, 700 GeV \leq f\leq 1100 GeV, 13 GeV \leq m_{\phi^0}\leq 55 GeV, 100 GeV \leq m_{\phi^\pm}\leq 900 GeV, and m_{\nu_R}\geq 15 TeV after imposing all the constraints mentioned above.Comment: 18 pages, 4 figures, some typos modifie

Staphylococcal peptidoglycans induce arthritis

Staphylococcus aureus is one of the most important pathogens in septic arthritis. To analyse the arthritogenic properties of staphylococcal peptidoglycan (PGN), highly purified PGN from S. aureus was intra-articularly injected into murine joints. The results demonstrate that PGN will trigger arthritis in a dose-dependent manner. A single injection of this compound leads to massive infiltration of predominantly macrophages and polymorphonuclear cells with occasional signs of cartilage and/or bone destruction, lasting for at least 14 days. Further studies showed that this condition is mediated by the combined impact of acquired and innate immune systems. Our results indicate that PGN exerts a central role in joint inflammation triggered by S. aureus

Total Nuclear Reaction Cross Section Induced by Halo Nuclei and Stable Nuclei

We develop the method for the calculation of the total reaction cross sections induced by the halo nuclei and stable nuclei. This approach is based on the Glauber theory, which is valid for nuclear reactions at high energy. It is extended for nuclear reactions at low energy and intermediate energy by including both the quantum correction and Coulomb correction under the assumption of the effective nuclear density distribution. The calculated results of the total reaction cross section induced by stable nuclei agree well with the 30 experimental data within 10 percent accuracy.The comparison between the numerical results and the 20 experimental data for the total nuclear reaction cross section induced by the neutron halo nuclei and the proton halo nuclei indicates a satisfactory agreement after considering the halo structure of these nuclei, which implies the quite different mean fields for the nuclear reactions induced by halo nuclei and stable nuclei. The halo nucleon distributions and the root mean square radii of these nuclei can be extracted from above comparison based on the improved Glauber model, which indicate clearly the halo structures of these nuclei. Especially, it is clear to see that the medium correction of the nucleon-nucleon collision has little effect on the total reaction cross sections induced by the halo nuclei due to the very weak binding and the very extended density distribution.Comment: 15 pages,2 figures.
