The effect of a light radion on the triviality bound on higgs mass

In this paper we study how the triviality bound on higgs mass in the context of the SM is modified by a light stabilized radion of the Goldberger-Wise variety. Our approach is inherently perturbative. Including the radion contribution to \bt(\l) and \bt(g_t) to one loop we evolve the higgs self coupling \l from the cut off \L(=\vphi) down to the EW scale $\mu_0 = v$. The triviality bound is obtained by requiring that \l(\L) = \sqrt{4 \pi} which is the perturbative limit. We also study the effect of small changes in the UVBC on the triviality bound both in the presence and absence of a light radion.Comment: 9 pages, latex, 2 eps figure

Search for optimum labeling schemes in qubit systems for Quantum Information processing by NMR

Optimal labeling schemes lead to efficient experimental protocols for quantum information processing by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR). A systematic approach of finding optimal labeling schemes for a given computation is described here. The scheme is described for both quadrupolar systems and spin-1/2 systems. Finally, one of the optimal labeling scheme has been used to experimentally implement a quantum full-adder in a 4-qubit system by NMR, using the technique of transition selective pulses.Comment: 24 pages, 6 figure

Muon anomaly and a lower bound on higgs mass due to a light stabilized radion in the Randall-Sundrum model

We investigate the Randall-Sundrum model with a light stabilized radion (required to fix the size of the extra dimension) in the light of muon anomalous magnetic moment $a_\mu [= \frac{(g - 2)}{2}]$. Using the recent data (obtained from the E821 experiment of the BNL collaboration) which differs by $2.6 \sigma$ from the Standard Model result, we obtain constraints on radion mass \mphi and radion vev \vphi. In the presence of a radion the beta functions \beta(\l) and $\beta(g_t)$ of higgs quartic coupling (\l) and top-Yukawa coupling ($g_t$) gets modified. We find these modified beta functions. Using these beta functions together with the anomaly constrained \mphi and \vphi, we obtain lower bound on higgs mass $m_h$. We compare our result with the present LEP2 bound on $m_h$.Comment: Version to be appeared in IJMP

Gravitational waves in α−\alpha-attractors

We study inflation in the $\alpha-$attractor model under a non-slow-roll dynamics with an ansatz proposed by Gong \& Sasaki \cite{Gong:2015ypa} of assuming $N=N\left(\phi\right)$. Under this approach, we construct a class of local shapes of inflaton potential that are different from the T-models. We find this type of inflationary scenario predicts an attractor at $n_{s}\sim0.967$ and $r\sim0.00055$. In our approach, the non-slow-roll inflaton dynamics are related to the $\alpha-$parameter which is the curvature of K\"ahler geometry in the SUGRA embedding of this model.Comment: 6 pages, 2 figures.

Identifying new physics contributions in the Higgs sector at linear e+e- colliders

Loop driven decay modes of the Higgs are sensitive to new physics contributions because of new particles in the loops. To highlight this we look at the dilepton-dijet signal in the dominant Higgs production channel at a linear e+e- collider. We show that by taking a simple ratio between cross-sections of two different final states such contributions can be very easily identified.Comment: Latex 4 pages, 2 eps figures (style files included).
