Probing CP-violating htˉth\bar{t}t coupling in e+e−→hγe^{+}e^{-}\rightarrow h \gamma

We investigate the possibility of probing the CP-violating $h\bar{t}t$ coupling in the process $e^{+}e^{-}\rightarrow h \gamma$ at the future high luminosity $e^{+}e^{-}$ colliders. Our numerical results show that the cross section for this process can be significantly increased for the allowed CP phase $\xi$ and center of mass energy. For example the cross section is about 6 times of that in the standard model (SM) for $\sqrt{s}=350~\mathrm{GeV}$ and $\xi =3\pi/5$ (see text for $\xi$ definition). The simulation for the signal process $e^{+}e^{-}\rightarrow h \gamma \rightarrow b \bar{b}\gamma$ and its backgrounds shows that the signal significance can reach more than $4.8\sigma$ and $2.3\sigma$ for $\sqrt{s}=350~\mathrm{GeV},\ 500~\mathrm{GeV}$ respectively, with the integrated luminosity $\mathcal{L}=3~\text{ab}^{-1}$ and $\xi\in[\pi/2,3\pi/5]$. For $\mathcal{L}=10~\text{ab}^{-1}$, the signal significance can be greater than 5 for $\sqrt{s}=350~\mathrm{GeV}$ and 3.9 for $\sqrt{s}=500~\mathrm{GeV}$ with the CP phase $\xi\in[\pi/2,3\pi/5]$. Besides the cross section enhancement, the CP-violating $h\bar{t}t$ coupling will induce the forward-backward asymmetry $A_{FB}$ which is absent in the SM and is a clear signal of new CP violation. Compared with the $A_{FB}$ in the Higgs decay $h\rightarrow l^{+}l^{-}\gamma$, the $A_{FB}$ can be greatly enhanced in the production process. For example $A_{FB}$ can reach 0.5 for $\cos\xi\simeq 0.7$ and $\sqrt{s}=500~\mathrm{GeV}$. Due to the large backgrounds, the significance of the expected $A_{FB}$ can only be observed at $1.7\sigma$ with $\mathcal{L}=10~\text{ab}^{-1}$ and $\sqrt{s}=500~\mathrm{GeV}$. It is essential to trigger the single photon in the final state to separate the bottom jets arising from scalar or vector bosons, in order to isolate the signal from the backgrounds more efficiently.Comment: Published version. 19 pages, 11 figures, 3 tables.

Variable Precision Rough Set Approximations in Concept Lattice

The notions of variable precision rough set and concept lattice are can be shared by a basic notion, which is the definability of a set of objects based on a set of properties. The two theories of rough set and concept lattice can be compared, combined and applied to each other based on definability. Based on introducing the definitions of variable precision rough set and concept lattice, this paper shows that any extension of a concept in concept lattice is an equivalence class of variable precision rough set. After that, we present a definition of lower and upper approximations in concept lattice and generate the lower and upper approximations concept of concept lattice. Afterwards, we discuss the properties of the new lower and upper approximations. Finally, an example is given to show the validity of the properties that the lower and upper approximations have

Online/Offline Blind Signature

AbstractThe processing ablity and response speed of the wireless communication terminals are limited, common signatures become the bottleneck to the development of the wireless networks. For that problem, based on the characteristics of the blind signature, the online/offline blind signature is given in this paper which incorporates with the optimal online/offline signature. Most computations are finished before the blind message is given, after that, only a few operations are needed. The performance analysis is also given in this paper, the new signature scheme can be applied to the security of wireless network, it protect the users’ privacy efficiently

An Integrated Contraflow Strategy for Multimodal Evacuation

To improve the efficiency of multimodal evacuation, a network aggregation method and an integrated contraflow strategy are proposed in this paper. The network aggregation method indicates the uncertain evacuation demand on the arterial subnetwork and balances accuracy and efficiency by refining the local road subnetworks. The integrated contraflow strategy contains three arterial configurations: noncontraflow to shorten the strategy setup time, full-lane contraflow to maximize the evacuation network capacity, and bus contraflow to realize the transit cycle operation. The application of this strategy takes two steps to provide transit priority during evacuation: solve the transit-based evacuation problem with a minimum-cost flow model, firstly, and then address the auto-based evacuation problem with a bilevel network flow model. The numerical results from optimizing an evacuation network for a super typhoon justify the validness and usefulness of the network aggregation method and the integrated contraflow strategy

Time-varying character for short-term capital flow from the interest rate aspect in China

This study investigates the causal link between short-term capital flow and interest rate differential with the bootstrap Granger full- sample causality and sub-sample rolling-window methods. The empirical results indicate that there is a unidirectional link from interest rate differential to short-term capital flow. However, when considering structural breaks in the above series, the full-sample causality test cannot be relied on. Hence, the time-varying rolling- window method is employed to examine the dynamic causal nexus. Being influenced by the U.S. monetary, world economic situation, Chinese intervention policies and other factors, interest rate differential has influences on short-term capital flow in some periods, but the reverse effect does not exist. Therefore, it is important for authorities to focus on specific backgrounds (e.g., economic situation, monetary policies) and further utilise interest rate and capital control to alleviate negative effects from violent fluctuation of short-term capital flow on the Chinese economy
