    Fermion-boson loops with bilinear R-parity violation leading to Majorana neutrino mass and magnetic moments

    Full text link
    We present analytic expressions corresponding to a set of one loop Feynman diagrams, built within R-parity violating (RpV) minimal supersymmetric standard model (MSSM). Diagrams involve both bilinear and trilinear RpV couplings and represent Majorana neutrino masses and magnetic moments.Comment: I've decided to move the collection of my papers to arXiv for easier access.

    The Higgs mass in the MSSM infrared fixed point scenario

    Get PDF
    In the infrared fixed point (IFP) scenario of the minimal supersymmetric model (MSSM), the top-quark mass and other physical quantities of the low-energy theory are insensitive to the values of the parameters of the theory at some high energy scale. In this framework we evaluate the light CP-even Higgs mass, mhm_h, taking into account some important effects that had not been previously considered. In particular, the supersymmetric correction to the relation between the running and the physical top-quark masses lowers the value of tanβ\tan\beta, thereby implying a lower predicted value of mhm_h. Assuming a supersymmetric threshold of MS1M_S\leq 1 TeV and Mt=175M_t=175 GeV, we find an upper bound of mh97±2m_h\le 97\pm 2 GeV; the most plausible value of mhm_h lies somewhat below the upper bound. This places the Higgs boson in the IFP scenario well within the reach of the LEP-2 Higgs search.Comment: 18 pages, LaTeX, 5 ps figures, uses psfig.sty.

    Relativistic Quantum Thermodynamics of Ideal Gases in 2 Dimensions

    Full text link
    In this work we study the behavior of relativistic ideal Bose and Fermi gases in two space dimensions. Making use of polylogarithm functions we derive a closed and unified expression for their densities. It is shown that both type of gases are essentially inequivalent, and only in the non-relativistic limit the spinless and equal mass Bose and Fermi gases are equivalent as known in the literature.Comment: 6 pages, 1 figur

    Majorana neutrino magnetic moments

    Full text link
    The presence of trilinear R-parity violating interactions in the MSSM lagrangian leads to existence of quark-squark and lepton-slepton loops which generate mass of the neutrino. By introducing interaction with an external photon the magnetic moment is obtained. We derive bounds on that quantity being around one order of magnitude stronger than those present in the literature.Comment: I've decided to move the collection of my papers to arXiv for easier access.

    CP sensitive observables in chargino production and decay into a W boson

    Full text link
    We study CP sensitive observables in chargino production in electron-positron collisions with subsequent two-body decay of one chargino into a W boson. We identify the CP odd elements of the W boson density matrix and propose CP sensitive triple-product asymmetries of the chargino decay products. We calculate the density-matrix elements, the CP asymmetries and the cross sections in the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model with complex parameters \mu and M_1 for an e+ e- linear collider with \sqrt{s} = 800 GeV and longitudinally polarized beams. The asymmetries can reach 7% and we discuss the feasibility of measuring these asymmetries.Comment: 23 pages, 7 figure

    Derivation of mAMZm_A \simeq M_Z and tanβ>3\tan \beta > \sqrt 3 in the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model

    Full text link
    In the minimal supersymmetric standard model, the Higgs sector has two unknown parameters, usually taken to be tanβv2/v1\tan \beta \equiv v_2/v_1 and mAm_A, the mass of its one physical pseudoscalar particle. By minimizing the minimum of the Higgs potential along a certain direction in parameter space, it is shown that mA=MZm_A = M_Z + radiative correction, and if one further plausible assumption is made, tanβ>3\tan \beta > \sqrt 3.Comment: 7 pages, University of California, Riverside Report No. UCRHEP-T105 (Feb 1993). [Discussion of radiative correction is now included.

    Presymmetry beyond the Standard Model

    Full text link
    We go beyond the Standard Model guided by presymmetry, the discrete electroweak quark-lepton symmetry hidden by topological effects which explain quark fractional charges as in condense matter physics. Partners of the particles of the Standard Model and the discrete symmetry associated with this partnership appear as manifestations of a residual presymmetry and its extension from matter to forces. This duplication of the spectrum of the Standard Model keeps spin and comes nondegenerated about the TeV scale.Comment: 6 pages, 11 figures.
