    Is an axizilla possible for di-photon resonance?

    Heavy axion-like particles, called axizillas, are simple extensions of the standard model(SM). An axizilla is required not to couple to the quarks, leptons, and Brout-Englert-Higgs doublets of the SM, but couple to the gauge anomalies of the WΒ±,ZW^\pm, Z and photon. It is possible to have its branching ratios(BRs) to two photons greater than 10% and to two ZZ's less than 10%. To have a (production cross section)β‹…\cdot (BR to di-photons) at a 10βˆ’38 cm210^{-38}\,\textrm{cm}^2 level, a TeV scale heavy quark QQ is required for the gluon--quark fusion process. The decay of QQ to axizilla plus quark, and the subsequent decay of the axizilla to two photons can be fitted at the required level of 10βˆ’38 cm210^{-38}\,\textrm{cm}^2.Comment: 9 pages of latex file with 3 figure

    R-parity from string compactification

    In this paper, we embed the Z4R\Z_{4R} parity as a discrete subgroup of a global symmetry \UoR\,obtained from Z12βˆ’I\Z_{12-I} compactification of heterotic string \EE8. A part of \UoR\,transformation is the shift of the anticommuting variable Ο‘\vartheta to eiΞ±Ο‘e^{i\alpha}\vartheta which necessarily incoorporate the transformation of internal space coordinate. Out of six internal spaces, we identify three U(1)'s whose charges are denoted as Q18,Q20Q_{18},Q_{20}, and Q22Q_{22}. The \UoR~is defined as \UEEΓ—\times\UKK~where \UEE~is the part from \EE8 and \UKK~is the part generated by Q18,Q20Q_{18},Q_{20}, and Q22Q_{22}. We propose a method to define a \UoR~direction. The needed vacuum expectation values for breaking gauge U(1)'s except U(1)Y_Y of the standard model carry \UoR~charge 4 modulo 4 such that \UoR~is broken down to Z4R\Z_{4R} at the grand unification scale. Z4R\Z_{4R} is broken to Z2R\Z_{2R} between the intermediate (\sim 10^{11\,}\gev) and the electroweak scales (100\,\gev\sim 1\,\tev). The conditions we impose are proton longevity, a large top quark mass, and acceptable magnitudes for the ΞΌ\mu term and neutrino masses.Comment: 21 pages with 3 figure

    A Theoretical Review of Axion

    Full text link
    It is emphasized that the existence of a very light axion is consistent with the strong CP invariance and cosmological and astrophysical constraints. The attempt to embed the very light axion in superstring models is discussed.Comment: 11 pages including 3 eps figure

    Gauge mediated supersymmetry breaking without exotics in orbifold compactification

    Get PDF
    We suggest SU(5)β€²' in the hidden sector toward a possible gauge mediated supersymmetry breaking scenario for removing the SUSY flavor problem, with an example constructed in Z12βˆ’I\Z_{12-I} with three families. The example we present has the Pati-Salam type classification of particles in the observable sector and has no exotics at low energy. We point out that six or seven very light pairs of 5β€²{\bf 5}' and 5Λ‰β€²\bar{\bf 5}' out of ten vectorlike \five' and \fiveb' pairs of SU(5)β€²' is achievable, leading to a possibility of an unstable supersymmetry breaking vacuum. The possibility of different compactification radii of three two tori toward achieving the needed coupling strength is also suggested.Comment: 16 pages with 3 figure
