Vacuum Stability in Inert Higgs Doublet Model with Right-handed Neutrinos
We analyze the vacuum stability in the inert Higgs doublet extension of the
Standard Model (SM), augmented by right-handed neutrinos (RHNs) to explain
neutrino masses at tree level by the seesaw mechanism. We make a comparative
study of the high- and low-scale seesaw scenarios and the effect of the Dirac
neutrino Yukawa couplings on the stability of the Higgs potential. Bounds on
the scalar quartic couplings and Dirac Yukawa couplings are obtained from
vacuum stability and perturbativity considerations. The regions corresponding
to stability, metastability and instability of the electroweak vacuum are
identified. These theoretical constraints give a very predictive parameter
space for the couplings and masses of the new scalars and RHNs which can be
tested at the LHC and future colliders. The lightest non-SM neutral CP-even/odd
scalar can be a good dark matter candidate and the corresponding collider
signatures are also predicted for the model.Comment: 38 pages and 44 figures, citation and text added, JHEP accepted

Design and Simulation of Extended Interaction Cavities for a Ka band Multi beam Klystron
This article reports about the design approach, electromagnetic simulation and analysis results of high-frequency ladder-type input, output, and intermediate RF cavaties for Ka-band multi-beam extended interaction klystron. Several parameters of the cavity, such as quality factor, shunt impedance, etc., have been investigated by the assistance of electromagnetic software CST microwave studio
Behavior of Buildings in August 21, 1988 Bihar-Nepal Earthquake
A moderate size earthquake rocked Bihar-Nepal border at 4.40 hrs. on August 21, 1988 causing wide spread devastation leading to loss of many lives and economic loss to the people of that region. The paper describes the study of damages occurred in masonry buildings, reinforced concrete buildings and liquefaction of the soil. The weakness of construction causes of damage and lessons learnt from the performance of structures are highlighted. The traditional and old structures without any earthquake resistance measures has suffered greater damage. The new reconstruction and strengthening measures must take into consideration the experience of failure of structures
In-Situ Fabrication of Ceramic Matrix Composites by RH-SHS Technique
A rapid heating self propagating high temperature synthe-sis (RII-SHS) technique is developed for the fabrication of in-situ A1203 -SiC„ composites. The adiabatic tempera-ture for the system is calculated to be 2375 K. The green compacts are heated rapidly (w 300 - 400 K/min) from room temperature to various soaking temperatures (T,) ranging from 1473 to 2023 K either in air or argon atmosphere.
Two exothermic reactions are observed successively during synthesis. XRD analyses show that the reduction of SiO2 proceeds through aluminothermic route and a holding time of = 30 minutes at T, is sufficient for the completion of reactions. SiC is observed to be present in the form of a-Sic, and the size and proportion of the whiskers depends upon the soaking time and temperature. Dimensional stabi-lity of the sintered products indicates the possibility of near net shape fabrication of composites using this technique
Resonances in a two-dimensional electron waveguide with a single delta-function scatterer
We study the conductance properties of a straight two-dimensional electron
waveguide with an s-like scatterer modeled by a single delta-function potential
with a finite number of modes. Even such a simple system exhibits interesting
resonance phenomena. These resonances are explained in terms of quasi-bound
states both by using a direct solution of the Schroedinger equation and by
studying the Green's function of the system. Using the Green's function we
calculate the survival probability as well as the power absorption and show the
influence of the quasi-bound states on these two quantities.Comment: 5 pages, 6 figures, to be published in Physical Review
Electronic Structure of Ordered Double Perovskite Ba2CoWO6
Ba2CoWO6 (BCoW) has been synthesized in polycrystalline form by solid state
reaction at 1200C. Structural characterization of the compound was done through
X-ray diffraction (XRD) followed by Rietveld analysis of the XRD pattern. The
crystal structure is cubic, space group Fm-3m (No 225) with the lattice
parameter, a=8.210A. Optical band-gap of the present system has been calculated
using the UV-Vis Spectroscopy and Kubelka-Munk function, its value being 2.45
eV. A detailed study of the electronic properties has also been carried out
using the density functional theory (DFT) techniques implemented on WIEN2k.
Importance of electron-electron interaction between the Co ions leading to
half-metallic behavior, crystal and exchange splitting together with the
hybridization between O and Co, W has been investigated using the total and
partial density of states.Comment: 3 pages, 3 figures, submitted to 58th DAE-SSPS 201
Spin dephasing in Silicon Germanium nanowires
We study spin polarized transport in silicon germanium nanowires using a
semiclassical monte carlo approach. Spin depolarization in the channel is
caused due to D'yakonov-Perel (DP) relaxation associated with Rashba spin orbit
coupling and due to Elliott- Yafet (EY) relaxation. We investigate the
dependence of spin dephasing on germanium mole fraction in silicon germanium
nanowires. The spin dephasing lengths decrease with an increase in the
germanium mole fraction. We also find that the temperature has a strong
influence on the dephasing rate and spin relaxation lengths increase with
decrease in temperature. The ensemble averaged spin components and the steady
state distribution of spin components vary with initial polarization.Comment: 17 pages, 10 figures include
