Search for Scalar Leptoquarks with polarized protons (and neutrons) at HERA and future Machines
The effects of Scalar Leptoquarks in various channels have been analysed for
the HERA collider and also for an eventual new machine running at higher
energies. We emphasize the relevance of polarized beams.Comment: Latex file, 3 pages and 3 ps fig. Need style files :

Density results for Sobolev, Besov and Triebel--Lizorkin spaces on rough sets
We investigate two density questions for Sobolev, Besov and Triebel--Lizorkin
spaces on rough sets. Our main results, stated in the simplest Sobolev space
setting, are that: (i) for an open set ,
is dense in whenever has zero Lebesgue
measure and is "thick" (in the sense of Triebel); and (ii) for a
-set (), is dense in whenever for some . For (ii), we provide
concrete examples, for any , where density fails when
and are on opposite sides of . The results (i) and (ii)
are related in a number of ways, including via their connection to the question
of whether for a
given closed set and . They also
both arise naturally in the study of boundary integral equation formulations of
acoustic wave scattering by fractal screens. We additionally provide analogous
results in the more general setting of Besov and Triebel--Lizorkin spaces.Comment: 38 pages, 6 figure
Spectroscopy of the optical Einstein ring 0047-2808
We present optical and near-infrared spectroscopic observations of the
optical Einstein ring 0047-2808. We detect both [OIII] lines 4959, 5007 near
2.3 micron, confirming the redshift of the lensed source as z=3.595. The Ly-a
line is redshifted relative to the [OIII] line by 140+-20 km/s. Similar
velocity shifts have been seen in nearby starburst galaxies. The [OIII] line is
very narrow, 130 km/s FWHM. If the ring is the image of the centre of a galaxy
the one-dimensional stellar velocity dispersion sigma=55 km/s is considerably
smaller than the value predicted by Baugh et al. (1998) for the somewhat
brighter Lyman-break galaxies. The Ly-a line is significantly broader than the
[OIII] line, probably due to resonant scattering. The stellar central velocity
dispersion of the early-type deflector galaxy at z=0.485 is 250+-30 km/s. This
value is in good agreement both with the value predicted from the radius of the
Einstein ring (and a singular isothermal sphere model for the deflector), and
the value estimated from the D_n-sigma relation.Comment: 7 pages, 3 figures, accepted for publication in MNRA
Physical degrees of freedom in stabilized brane world models
We consider brane world models with interbrane separation stabilized by the
Goldberger-Wise scalar field. For arbitrary background, or vacuum
configurations of the gravitational and scalar fields in such models, we
construct the second variation Lagrangian, study its gauge invariance, find the
corresponding equations of motion and decouple them in a suitable gauge. We
also derive an effective four-dimensional Lagrangian for such models, which
describes the massless graviton, a tower of massive gravitons and a tower of
massive scalars. It is shown that for a special choice of the background
solution the masses of the graviton excitations may be of the order of a few
TeV, the radion mass of the order of 100 GeV, the inverse size of the extra
dimension being tens of GeV. In this case the coupling of the radion to matter
on the negative tension brane is approximately the same as in the unstabilized
model with the same values of the fundamental five-dimensional energy scale and
the interbrane distance.Comment: 17 pages, LaTeX, corrected typos, amended the normalization constants
