The single production of the lightest E6 isosinglet quark at the LHC

We study the jet associated production of the new quarks predicted by the $E_{6}$ GUT model at the LHC. Generator level considerations are made for different mass values of the lightest of the new quarks to investigate its discovery potential and the prospects for obtaining its mixing angle to the Standard Model quarks. We find that after 100 fb$^{-1}$ of data taking, it is possible to discover the new quark with a significance more than 5$\sigma$ up to a mass of 1500 GeV. If no discovery is made, it is possible to constrain the mass vs quark mixing angle plane.Comment: uses axodraw.st

Excessive Memory Usage of the ELLPACK Sparse Matrix Storage Scheme throughout the Finite Element Computations

Sparse matrices are occasionally encountered during solution of various problems by means of numerical methods, particularly the finite element method. ELLPACK sparse matrix storage scheme, one of the most widely used methods due to its implementation ease, is investigated in this study. The scheme uses excessive memory due to its definition. For the conventional finite element method, where the node elements are used, the excessive memory caused by redundant entries in the ELLPACK sparse matrix storage scheme becomes negligible for large scale problems. On the other hand, our analyses show that the redundancy is still considerable for the occasions where facet or edge elements have to be used

A Search for pair production of the LSP ντ~\tilde{\nu_{\tau}} at the CLIC via RPV Decays

In this work we consider pair production of LSP tau-sneutrinos at the Compact Lineer Collider. We assume that tau-sneutrinos decays in to e\textmu pair via RPV interactions. Backgroundless subprocess $e{}^{-}e^{+}\rightarrow\tilde{\nu}\bar{\tilde{\nu}}\rightarrow\mu^{+}\mu^{+}e^{-}e^{-}(\mu^{-}\mu^{-}e^{+}e^{+})$ is analyzed in details. Achievable limits on $Br\,(\tilde{\nu}_{\tau}\rightarrow\mu e)$ at $3\sigma$ and $5\sigma$ CL are obtained depending on $\tilde{\nu_{\tau}}$ mass.Comment: 8 pages, 5 figure

Bigger Bursts From Merging Neutron Stars

GRB 990123 may have radiated more than one solar mass equivalent in just its gamma emissions. Though this may be within the upper limit of the binding energy available from neutron stars in the Schwarzschild metric, it is difficult to imagine a process with the required efficiency of conversion to gamma rays. Neutron stars of ~10 solar mass are permitted in the Yilmaz metric. A merger of two neutron stars of maximum mass could release approximately 10 solar mass equivalent binding energy.Comment: 5 pages, 1 figure, submitted to ApJ Letter
