    The Nonsymmetric Kaluza-Klein(Jordan-Thiry) Theory.A path to a Unified Field Theory

    Full text link
    In the paper we consider the Nonsymmetric Kaluza-Klein(Jordan-Thiry) Theory and hierarchy of a symmetry breaking within Grand Unified Theories.In this way we try to construct Unified Field Theory.We conside alsoa quintessence and skewon fields as possible Dark Matter particles.Both particles are massive with zero and one spin.It means with scalar and pseudovector particles.They are interacting only gravitationally..They are really apart of gravity.In this way they are geometrized.We find anatural to get a cosmological constant(Dark Energy) and the fith force. We consider also an effective gravitational" constant" Geff and a test particles movement in the theory.We consider also a tower of scalar (massive) fields as additional Dark Matter derived in the paper.Comment: TeX, 146 pages ,no figures,some corrections and extension

    Preventing Incomplete/Hidden Requirements: Reflections on Survey Data from Austria and Brazil

    Many software projects fail due to problems in requirements engineering (RE). The goal of this paper is analyzing a specific and relevant RE problem in detail: incomplete/hidden requirements. We replicated a global family of RE surveys with representatives of software organizations in Austria and Brazil. We used the data to (a) characterize the criticality of the selected RE problem, and to (b) analyze the reported main causes and mitigation actions. Based on the analysis, we discuss how to prevent the problem. The survey includes 14 different organizations in Austria and 74 in Brazil, including small, medium and large sized companies, conducting both, plan-driven and agile development processes. Respondents from both countries cited the incomplete/hidden requirements problem as one of the most critical RE problems. We identified and graphically represented the main causes and documented solution options to address these causes. Further, we compiled a list of reported mitigation actions. From a practical point of view, this paper provides further insights into common causes of incomplete/hidden requirements and on how to prevent this problem.Comment: in Proceedings of the Software Quality Days, 201

    Supersymmetric lepton flavour violation in a linear collider: the role of charginos

    Get PDF
    The occurrence of a significant amount of supersymmetric lepton flavour violation at laboratory energies, through ν~μ−ν~τ\tilde\nu_\mu - \tilde\nu_\tau mixing, has become a realistic possibility in the wake of the super-Kamiokande atmospheric neutrino result. This effect can be observed in an e+e- linear collider with the distinct final state tau+mu+ jets+E_T. We show that the pair production of charginos can make an important contribution to this process and has to be taken into account in addition to that of sneutrinos or charged sleptons. Some case studies are presented with CM energies of 500 and 800 GeV and integrated luminosities of 50, 500 and 1000 fb-1.Comment: 15 pages, latex, including 2 figure

    HDECAY: a Program for Higgs Boson Decays in the Standard Model and its Supersymmetric Extension

    Get PDF
    We describe the Fortran code HDECAY which calculates the decay widths and the branching ratios of the Standard Model Higgs boson, and of the neutral and charged Higgs particles of the Minimal Supersymmetric extension of the Standard Model. The program is self-contained (with all subroutines included), easy to run, fast and calculates the decay widths and branching ratios according to the current theoretical knowledge.Comment: LaTeX, 26 pages, 3 ps figures include
