Prospects for Detecting Neutrino Signals from Annihilating/Decaying Dark Matter to Account for the PAMELA and ATIC results
Recent PAMELA data show that positron fraction has an excess above several
GeV while anti-proton one is not. Moreover ATIC data indicates that
electron/positron flux have a bump from 300 GeV to 800 GeV. Both annihilating
dark matter (DM) with large boost factor and decaying DM with the life around can account for the PAMELA and ATIC observations if their main final
products are charged leptons (, and ). In this work, we
calculated the neutrino flux arising from and which originate from
annihilating/decaying DM, and estimated the final muon rate in the neutrino
telescopes, namely Antares and IceCube. Given the excellent angular resolution,
Antares and IceCube are promising to discover the neutrino signals from
Galactic center and/or large DM subhalo in annihilating DM scenario, but very
challenging in decaying DM scenario.Comment: 21 pages, 7 figures, 2 tables. V2: references added. V3: the number

Four Jets as a Probe of O(100 GeV) Physics beyond Standard Model at Hadron Colliders
O(100 GeV) physics beyond the standard model (BSM) could be overlooked
provided that it is hidden in the untouched Higgs sector or jets. The top quark
forward-backward asymmetry measurements and di-jet bump, which is observed in
the associated production with charged lepton plus missing energy (supposed
arising from W decay), may indicate the existence of a new color-octet
axial-vector Z_C with a mass about 145 GeV. Here Z_C only decays into two jets.
In this paper we investigated the possibility to discover Z_C pair via
analyzing the four jets as the final states, which are heavily polluted by huge
QCD background. Our simulation showed that, however, both Tevatron and LHC have
the excellent chance to discover Z_C through analyzing the four jets events in
the current accumulated data.Comment: 15 pages, 11figures and 2 table
Next-to-leading order QCD corrections to the single top quark production via model-independent t-q-g flavor-changing neutral-current couplings at hadron colliders
We present the calculations of the complete next-to-leading order (NLO) QCD
effects on the single top productions induced by model-independent
flavor-changing neutral-current couplings at hadron colliders. Our results show
that, for the coupling the NLO QCD corrections can enhance the total
cross sections by about 60% and 30%, and for the coupling by about 50%
and 20% at the Tevatron and LHC, respectively, which means that the NLO
corrections can increase the experimental sensitivity to the FCNC couplings by
about 10%30%. Moreover, the NLO corrections reduce the dependence of the
total cross sections on the renormalization or factorization scale
significantly, which lead to increased confidence on the theoretical
predictions. Besides, we also evaluate the NLO corrections to several important
kinematic distributions, and find that for most of them the NLO corrections are
almost the same and do not change the shape of the distributions.Comment: minor changes, version published in PR
Deci-weak at Tevatron and LHC
Recently Tevatron released their measurements on invariant mass spectrum of
electron/positron, as well as the di-jet arising from WW+WZ production with one
W leptonically decay. Though the statistics is not significant, there are two
bumps around 240 GeV and 120-160 GeV respectively. We proposed that the two
bumps correspond to the extra light gauge bosons and ,
which couple with quarks with the deci-weak strength. In this brief report, we
also simulated di-jet invariant mass distribution at the current running LHC.Comment: 8 pages, 3 EPS figures, ref added, figures update
Threshold Resummation Effects in Neutral Higgs Boson Production by Bottom Quark Fusion at the CERN Large Hadron Collider
We investigate the QCD effects in the production of neutral Higgs bosons via
bottom quark fusion in both the standard model and the minimal supersymmetric
standard model at the CERN Large Hadron Collider. We include the
next-to-leading order (NLO) QCD corrections (including supersymmetric QCD) and
the threshold resummation effects. We use the soft-collinear effective theory
to resum the large logarithms near threshold from soft gluon emission. Our
results show that the resummation effects can enhance the total cross sections
by about 5% compared with the NLO results.Comment: 29pages, 14 figures, version to appear in Physical Review
New Color-Octet Vector Boson Revisit
Motivated by CDF recent measurements on di-jet invariant mass spectrum where
di-jet is associated production with charged leptons () and missing
energy, we re-examine the previous proposed massive color-octet
axial-vector-like boson . Our simulation showed that the di-jet bump
around 120-160 GeV can be induced by with effective coupling (q represents the quark other than top and is the
strong coupling constant). Moreover our numerical investigation indicated that
the top quark forward-backward asymmetry can be reproduced without
distorting shape of differential cross section ,
provided that the and top quark coupling is appropriately chosen (). Our results also showed that the
theoretical as functions of and can be
consistent with data within and respectively.Comment: 8 pages, 3 EPS figure
Clinical study on the optic nerve protection of calcium dobesilate in treating glaucoma
AIM:To observe the protective effect of calcium dobesilate on optic nerve of glaucoma patients whose intraocular pressure has been under control through operation.<p>METHODS: A total of 78 inpatients(89 eyes)with glaucoma in this hospital from January, 2011 to February, 2012 were enrolled. All patients were randomly divided into treatment group and control group with 6 months in a course. The visual acuity, visual field(mean sensibility, MS), and intraocular pressure were measured at the experiment onset and 6 months later to evaluate the clinical effect.<p>RESULTS: There were no statistically significant differences in the visual acuity, intraocular pressure between the two groups neither at the experiment onset nor after 6 months(<i>P</i>>0.05). The mean sensibility(MS)of the treatment group was obviously improved(14.56±5.03 <i>vs </i>18.9±5.77, <i>P</i><0.05)with statistically significant differences before and after the treatment, while the MS remained unchanged in the control group(14.75±5.17 <i>vs </i>13.48±4.69). There are statistically significant difference between the treatment group and the control group. Compared to the ratio of improvement, stability, and deterioration in the control group(10.3%, 48.7%, 41.0%), the indexes were changed obviously in the treatment group(64.1%, 28.2%, 7.7%,<i>P</i><0.05)with statistically significant difference between the two groups.<p>CONCLUSION:Calcium dobesilate can improve mean retinal sensitivity and protect the optic nerve in glaucoma patients whose intraocular pressure has been controlled
