Running of Low-Energy Neutrino Masses, Mixing Angles and CP Violation

We calculate the running of low-energy neutrino parameters from the bottom up, parameterizing the unknown seesaw parameters in terms of the dominance matrix $R$. We find significant running only if the $R$ matrix is non-trivial and the light-neutrino masses are moderately degenerate. If the light-neutrino masses are very hierarchical, the quark-lepton complementarity relation $\theta_c + \theta_{12} = \pi/4$ is quite stable, but $\theta_{13,23}$ may run beyond their likely future experimental errors. The running of the oscillation phase $\delta$ is enhanced by the smallness of $\theta_{13}$, and jumps in the mixing angles occur in cases where the light-neutrino mass eigenstates cross.Comment: 14 pages, 7 figure

Missing data in clinical trials

The aim of this Bachelor’s Thesis is to explain what missing data means and give some ways to deal with it in clinical trials. Firstly, an overview of different types of missing data is given and the reasons for their occurrence. Second part of the thesis explains which analytical approaches can be used to conduct an unbiased analysis. Further, missing data are simulated for a data set to show how the approaches described are used in practice with SAS software

Implications of XENON100 and LHC results for Dark Matter models

We perform a fit to the recent Xenon100 data and study its implications for Dark Matter scenarios. We find that Inelastic Dark Matter is disfavoured as an explana- tion to the DAMA/LIBRA annual modulation signal. Concerning the scalar singlet DM model, we find that the Xenon100 data disfavors its constrained limit. We study the CMSSM as well as the low scale phenomenological MSSM taking into account latest Tevatron and LHC data (1.1/fb) about sparticles and Bs \rightarrow {\mu}{\mu}. After the EPS 2011 conference, LHC excludes the "Higgs-resonance" region of DM freeze-out and Xenon100 disfavors the "well-tempered" bino/higgsino, realized in the "focus-point" region of the CMSSM parameter space. The preferred region shifts to heavier sparticles, higher fine-tuning, higher tan {\beta} and the quality of the fit deteriorates.Comment: v4: addendum included at the light of the Dark Matter and Higgs data presented during july 2012 by the Xenon100, ATLAS and CMS collaboration

CDMS stands for Constrained Dark Matter Singlet

Motivated by the two candidate Dark Matter events observed by the CDMS experiment, we consider a Constrained Dark Matter Singlet (CDMS) model that, with no free parameters, predicts the DM mass and the DM direct cross section to be in the range weakly favored by CDMS.Comment: 6 pages, 2 figure

Matter parity as the origin of scalar Dark Matter

We extend the concept of matter parity $P_M=(-1)^{3(B-L)}$ to non-supersymmetric theories and argue that $P_M$ is the natural explanation to the existence of Dark Matter of the Universe. We show that the non-supersymmetric Dark Matter must be contained in scalar 16 representation(s) of $SO(10),$ thus the unique low energy Dark Matter candidates are $P_M$-odd complex scalar singlet(s) $S$ and inert scalar doublet(s) $H_2.$ We have calculated the thermal relic Dark Matter abundance of the model and shown that its minimal form may be testable at LHC via the SM Higgs boson decays $H_1\to DM DM.$ The PAMELA anomaly can be explained with the decays $DM\to \nu l W$ induced via seesaw-like operator which is additionally suppressed by Planck scale. Because the SM fermions are odd under matter parity too, the DM sector is just our scalar relative.Comment: The origin of scalar DM is emphasized, version accepted by PR
