Separable potential model for K−NK^{-}N interactions at low energies

The effective separable meson-baryon potentials are constructed to match the equivalent chiral amplitudes up to the second order in external meson momenta. We fit the model parameters (low energy constants) to the threshold and low energy $K^{-}p$ data. In the process, the $K^{-}$-proton bound state problem is solved exactly in the momentum space and the 1s level characteristics of the kaonic hydrogen are computed simultaneously with the available low energy $K^{-}p$ cross sections. The model is also used to describe the $\pi \Sigma$ mass spectrum and the energy dependence of the $K^{-}n$ amplitude.Comment: 31 pages, v2 - added corrections to make it compatible with the published versio

Rompimiento de la Simetria Electrodebil y la Fisica del Higgs: Conceptos Basicos

Presentamos una introduccion a los conceptos basicos del rompimiento de la simetria electrodebil y la fisica del Higgs dentro del Modelo Estandar y sus extensiones supersimetricas. Se presenta tambien una breve perspectiva general de mecanismos alternativos del rompimiento de la simetria. Ademas de las bases teoricas, se discute el estado actual de la fisica experimental del Higgs y sus implicaciones para futuros experimentos en el LHC y en colisionadores lineales e+e-.Comment: Spanish text, including full English translation.
