Strategic Narratives and Iranian Foreign Policy into the Rouhani Era

Rouhani is more of a pragmatic moderate in the mould of former President Hashemi-Rafsanjani, and his approach has the blessing of the Supreme Leader Khamenei

Possibility of tanbeta measurement in CMS at LHC

The achievable tanbeta determination accuracy for CMS at LHC is presented. Using MSSM H/A->tau tau decay in the associated production process gg->bbH/A the event rates are measured at large tanbeta and the systematic and statistical errors are estimated. Due to sensitivity of the above event rates to tanbeta it is shown that it is possible to determine constraints on tanbeta for a given set of SUSY parameters and uncertainties.Comment: 5 pages, 4 figures, presented in the Rencontre de Moriond, QCD Conference 200

Leptophilic neutral Higgs bosons in two Higgs doublet model at a linear collider

This paper addresses the question of observability of neutral Higgs bosons through the leptonic decay in a two Higgs doublet model (2HDM). Both scalar and pseudoscalar Higgs bosons ($H,~A$) are considered. The model is set to type IV to enhance the leptonic decay. In such a scenario, a signal production process like $e^+e^- \to A^0H^0 \to \tau\tau \mu\mu$ or $\mu\mu\tau\tau$ would provide a clear signal on top of the background in a di-muon invariant mass distribution far from the $Z$ boson pole mass. The analysis is based on a $\tau$-id algorithm which preselects events if they have two $\tau$ jets by requiring a hadronic $\tau$ decay. Several benchmark points are defined for the search, requiring a linear collider operating at $\sqrt{s} =$ 0.5 and 1 TeV. It is shown that the signal can be observed on top of the background in all benchmark points at an integrated luminosity of 1000 $fb^{-1}$

Intra-session and inter-day reliability of the Myon 320 electromyography system during sub-maximal contractions

Electromyography systems are widely used within the field of scientific and clinical practices. The reliability of these systems are paramount when conducting research. The reliability of Myon 320 Surface Electromyography System is yet to be determined. This study aims to determine the intra-session and inter-day reliability of the Myon 320 Surface Electromyography System. Muscle activity from fifteen participants was measured at the anterior deltoid muscle during a bilateral front raise exercise, the vastus lateralis muscle during a squat exercise and the extensor carpi radialis brevis (ECRB) muscle during an isometric handgrip task. Intra-session and inter-day reliability was calculated by intraclass correlation coefficient, standard error of measurement and coefficient of variation (CV). The normalized root mean squared (RMS) surface electromyographic signals produced good intra-session and inter-day testing intraclass correlation coefficient values (range: 0.63-0.97) together with low standard error of measurement (range: 1.49-2.32) and CV (range: 95% Confidence Interval = 0.36-12.71) measures for the dynamic-and-isometric contractions. The findings indicate that the Myon 320 Surface Electromyography System produces good to fair reliability when examining intra-session and inter-day reliability. Findings of the study provide evidence of the reliability of electromyography between trials which is essential during clinical testing.</p

Search for the Light Charged Higgs in CMS

In this report the CMS potential for the light charged Higgs boson discovery in the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model is presented. First the latest results of the Tevatron and LEP experiments on the light charged Higgs search are reminded. In the rest of the report the perspectives of CMS for the light charged Higgs search are presented with description of some details of the analysis. The results are based on the full simulation and reconstruction of the CMS detector including the systematic uncertainties on the background determination. Finally the $\rm 5\sigma$ discovery contour for an integrated luminosity of $\rm 30fb^{-1}$ is shown.Comment: 7 pages, 5 figures, presented at IPM conference, May 2005, Tehran, Ira
