Finite Energy Electroweak Dyon
The recent MoEDAL experiment at LHC to detect the electroweak monopole makes
the theoretical prediction of the monopole mass an urgent issue. We discuss
different ways to estimate the mass of the electroweak monopole. We first
present a scaling argument which indicates that the mass of the electroweak
monopole to be around 4 TeV. To justify this we construct finite energy
analytic dyon solutions which could be viewed as the regularized Cho-Maison
dyon, modifying the coupling strengths of the electromagnetic interaction of
-boson in the standard model. Our result demonstrates that a genuine
electroweak monopole whose mass scale is much smaller than the grand
unification scale can exist, which can actually be detected at the present LHC.Comment: arXiv admin note: substantial text overlap with arXiv:hep-th/0210299,

Fabrication of three-dimensional suspended, interlayered and hierarchical nanostructures by accuracy-improved electron beam lithography overlay
Nanofabrication techniques are essential for exploring nanoscience and many closely related research fields such as materials, electronics, optics and photonics. Recently, three-dimensional (3D) nanofabrication techniques have been actively investigated through many different ways, however, it is still challenging to make elaborate and complex 3D nanostructures that many researchers want to realize for further interesting physics studies and device applications. Electron beam lithography, one of the two-dimensional (2D) nanofabrication techniques, is also feasible to realize elaborate 3D nanostructures by stacking each 2D nanostructures. However, alignment errors among the individual 2D nanostructures have been difficult to control due to some practical issues. In this work, we introduce a straightforward approach to drastically increase the overlay accuracy of sub-20 nm based on carefully designed alignmarks and calibrators. Three different types of 3D nanostructures whose designs are motivated from metamaterials and plasmonic structures have been demonstrated to verify the feasibility of the method, and the desired result has been achieved. We believe our work can provide a useful approach for building more advanced and complex 3D nanostructures.114sciescopu
Renormalization analysis of intermittency in two coupled maps
The critical behavior for intermittency is studied in two coupled
one-dimensional (1D) maps. We find two fixed maps of an approximate
renormalization operator in the space of coupled maps. Each fixed map has a
common relavant eigenvaule associated with the scaling of the control parameter
of the uncoupled one-dimensional map. However, the relevant ``coupling
eigenvalue'' associated with coupling perturbation varies depending on the
fixed maps. These renormalization results are also confirmed for a
linearly-coupled case.Comment: 11 pages, RevTeX, 2 eps figure
Simultaneous VLBI Astrometry of H2O and SiO Masers toward the Semiregular Variable R Crateris
We obtained, for the first time, astrometrically registered maps of the 22.2
GHz H2O and 42.8, 43.1, and 86.2 GHz SiO maser emission toward the semiregular
b-type variable (SRb) R Crateris, at three epochs (2015 May 21, and 2016
January 7 and 26) using the Korean Very-long-baseline Interferometry Network.
The SiO masers show a ring-like spatial structure, while the H2O maser shows a
very asymmetric one-side outflow structure, which is located at the southern
part of the ring-like SiO maser feature. We also found that the 86.2 GHz SiO
maser spots are distributed in an inner region, compared to those of the 43.1
GHz SiO maser, which is different from all previously known distributions of
the 86.2 GHz SiO masers in variable stars. The different distribution of the
86.2 GHz SiO maser seems to be related to the complex dynamics caused by the
overtone pulsation mode of the SRb R Crateris. Furthermore, we estimated the
position of the central star based on the ring fitting of the SiO masers, which
is essential for interpreting the morphology and kinematics of a circumstellar
envelope. The estimated stellar coordinate corresponds well to the position
measured by Gaia
Herd Behaviors in Financial Markets
We investigate the herd behavior of returns for the yen-dollar exchange rate
in the Japanese financial market. It is obtained that the probability
distribution of returns satisfies the power-law behavior with the exponents (the time interval
one minute) and 3.36( one day). The informational cascade regime appears
in the herding parameter at one minute, while it occurs no
herding at one day. Especially, we find that the distribution of
normalized returns shows a crossover to a Gaussian distribution at one time
step day.Comment: 15 pages, 6 figure
