P−v{\cal P}-v Criticality in Gauged Supergravities

AdS black holes show richer transition behaviors in extended phase space by assuming the cosmological constant and its conjugate quantity to behave like thermodynamic pressure and thermodynamic volume. We study the extended thermodynamics of charged dilatonic AdS black holes in a class of Einstein-Maxwell-dilaton theories that can be embedded in gauged supergravities in various dimensions. We find that the transition behaviors of higher dimensional dilatonic AdS black holes are different from the four dimensional counterparts, and new transition behaviors emerges in higher dimensions. First, there exists standard Van der Waals transition only in a five dimensional dilatonic AdS black hole with two equal charges. Second, there emerge a new phase transition branch in negative pressure region in six and seven dimensional dilatonic black holes with two equal charges. Third, there emerge transition behaviors in higher dimensional black hole with single charge cases, which are absent in four dimensions.Comment: Latex, 18 pages, 8 figures; published versio

Probing WL′WHW^\prime_L WH and WR′WHW^\prime_R W H Interaction at LHC

Many new physics models predict the existence of TeV-scale charged gauge boson $W^\prime$ together with Higgs boson(s). We study the $W^\prime WH$ interaction and explore the angular distribution of charged lepton to distinguish $W_R^\prime WH$ from $W_L^\prime WH$ in $pp\to HW\to b \bar b l \nu$ process at the LHC. It is found that a new type forward-backward asymmetry($A_{FB}$) relating to the angle between the direction of the charged lepton in $W$ rest frame and that of the reconstructed $W^\prime$ in laboratory frame is useful to investigate the properties of $W^\prime W H$ interaction. We analyze the Standard Model backgrounds and develop a set of cuts to highlight the signal and suppress the backgrounds at LHC. We find that $A_{FB}$ can reach 0.03(-0.07) for $W_R^\prime$($W_L^\prime$) production at $\sqrt{S}=14$ TeV

Investigating the NCQ scaling of elliptic flow at LHC with a multiphase transport model

The number of constituent quark (NCQ) scaling behavior of elliptic flow has been systematically studied at the LHC energy within the framework of a multiphase transport model (AMPT) in this work. We find that the parameters used to generate the initial states and the collision centrality are important for the existence of NCQ scaling even when hadronic rescattering contribution is off in Pb-Pb collisions of $\sqrt{s_{NN}}=2.76$ TeV. By turning on the hadron rescattering process, the hadronic evolution impacts are also found to be significant. Extending the analysis to Pb-Pb collsions of $\sqrt{s_{NN}}=5.02$ TeV, one would observe similar qualitative features

Study Majorana Neutrino Contribution to B-meson Semi-leptonic Rare Decays

B meson semi-leptonic rare decays are sensitive to new physics beyond standard model. We study the $B^{-}\to \pi^{-}\mu^{+}\mu^{-}$ process and investigate the Majorana neutrino contribution to its decay width. The constraints on the Majorana neutrino mass and mixing parameter are obtained from this decay channel with the latest LHCb data. Utilizing the best fit for the parameters, we study the lepton number violating decay $B^{-}\to \pi^{+}\mu^{-}\mu^{-}$, and find its branching ratio is about $6.4\times10^{-10}$, which is consistent with the LHCb data reported recently.Comment: 10 pages, 3 figure

Stability Analysis of Fractional Order Systems with Time Delay

In this paper, we mainly study the stability of linear and interval linear fractional systems with time delay. By applying the characteristic equations, a necessary and sufficient stability condition is obtained firstly, and then some sufficient conditions are deserved. In addition, according to the equivalent relationship of fractional order systems with order $0<\alpha\leq 1$ and with order $1\leq\beta<2$, one may get more relevant theorems. Finally, two examples are provided to demonstrate the effectiveness of our results

Dichlorido{2-[(2,6-dimethyl­phen­yl)imino­meth­yl]pyridine-κ2 N,N′}zinc

In the asymmetric unit of the title compound, [ZnCl2(C14H14N2)], the central ZnII ion is four-coordinated in a distorted tetra­hedral environment by two N atoms of the ligand 2-[(2,6-dimethyl­phen­yl)imino­meth­yl]pyridine and two chloride anions. In the crystal, adjacent mol­ecules are connected through C—H⋯Cl hydrogen bonds between a C—H group of the ligand and a Cl− anion, leading to a chain-like structure along the b direction

6-Isopropyl-5-meth­oxy-3-phenyl-3H-1,2,3-triazolo[4,5-d]pyrimidin-7(6H)-one

In the title compound, C14H15N5O2, the whole mol­ecule apart from the terminal C atoms of the isopropyl group is located on a crystallographic mirror plane. An intra­molecular C—H⋯N hydrogen-bonding inter­action may stabilize the mol­ecular conformation. The crystal packing features weak slipped π–π inter­actions between the pyrimidine and the phenyl rings of symmetry-related mol­ecules [centroid–centroid distance = 3.746 (1)Å, slippage of 1.574 Å]
