Scalar Sector in the Minimal Supersymmetric 3-3-1 model
We consider the minimal supersymmetric extension of the 3-3-1 model and we
study the mass spectra in the scalar sector of this model without the
anti-sextet. We show that all our lighest scalars are in agreement with the
experimental limits.Comment: It was included on the introduction of the article the motivation to

AC voltage regulation of a bidirectional high-frequency link converter using a deadbeat controller
This paper presents a digital controller for AC voltage regulation of a bidirectional high-frequency link (BHFL) inverter using Deadbeat control. The proposed controller consists of inner current loop, outer voltage loop and a feed-forward controller, which imposes a gain scheduling effect according to the reference signal to compensate the steady-state error of the system. The main property of the proposed controller is that the current- and the voltage-loop controllers have the same structure, and use the same sampling period. This simplifies the design and implementation processes. To improve the overall performance of the system, additional disturbance decoupling networks are employed. This takes into account
the model discretization effect. Therefore, accurate
disturbance decoupling can be achieved, and the system
robustness towards load variations is increased. To avoid
transformer saturation due to low frequency voltage envelopes, an equalized pulse width modulation (PWM)
technique has been introduced. The proposed controller
has been realized using the DS1104 digital signal processor
(DSP) from dSPACE. Its performances have been tested on
a one kVA prototype inverter. Experimental results showed
that the proposed controller has very fast dynamic and good
steady-state responses even under highly nonlinear loads
Role of the meson in photoproduction off the deuteron
Neutral kaon photoproduction off the nucleon and deuteron has been
reinvestigated by utilizing the new experimental data on both targets. An
isobar model for elementary operator and impulse approximation for the reaction
on the deuteron have been used. The available free parameters in the elementary
model have been extracted from both elementary and deuteron data. In contrast
to the elementary reaction, fitting the deuteron data requires an inclusion of
weighting factor. The result indicates that the angular distribution of the
elementary process does not show backward peaking behavior.Comment: 4 pages, 4 figures, prepared for the Fifth Asia-Pacific Conference on

Azimuthal Angle Probe of Anomalous HWW Couplings at the LHeC
A high energy ep collider, such as the proposed LHeC, possesses the unique
facility of permitting direct measurement of the HWW coupling without
contamination from the HZZ coupling. At such a machine, the fusion of two W
bosons through the HWW vertex would give rise to typical charged current (CC)
events accompanied by a Higgs boson. We demonstrate that azimuthal angle
correlations between the observable CC final states could then be a sensitive
probe of the nature of the HWW vertex and hence of the CP properties of the
Higgs boson.Comment: Revised version to appear in Physical Review Letters, some typos and

The spread of the gluon k_t-distribution and the determination of the saturation scale at hadron colliders in resummed NLL BFKL
The transverse momentum distribution of soft hadrons and jets that accompany
central hard-scattering production at hadron colliders is of great importance,
since it has a direct bearing on the ability to separate new physics signals
from Standard Model backgrounds. We compare the predictions for the gluonic
k_t-distribution using two different approaches: resummed NLL BFKL and DGLAP
evolution. We find that as long as the initial and final virtualities (k_t)
along the emission chain are not too close to each other, the NLL resummed BFKL
results do not differ significantly from those obtained using standard DGLAP
evolution. The saturation momentum Q_s(x), calculated within the resummed BFKL
approach, grows with 1/x even slower than in the leading-order DGLAP case.Comment: 24 pages, 8 figures, An improved, slightly more precise NLL
resummation is used and the figures are updated accordingly. The conclusions
are unchange
Analysis and comparison of a proposed mutation operator and its effects on the performance of genetic algorithm
Genetic algorithms (GAs) are dependent on various operators and parameters. The most common evolutionary operators are parent selection, crossover, and mutation. Each operator has broad implementations with its pros and cons. A successful GA is highly dependent on genetic diversity which is the main driving force that steers a GA towards an optimal solution. Mutation operator implements the idea of exploration to search for uncharted areas and introduces diversity in a population. Thus, increasing the probability of GA to converge to a globally optimum solution. In this paper, a new variant of mutation operator is proposed, and its functions are studied and compared with the existing operators. The proposed mutation operator as well as others such as m-mutation, shuffle, swap, and inverse are tested for their ability to introduce diversity in population and hence, their effects on the performance of GA. All these operators are applied to Max one problem. The results concluded that the proposed variant is far more superior to the existing operators in terms of introducing diversity and hence early convergence to an optimum solution
Gauged D=7 Supergravity on the S**1/Z_2 Orbifold
We construct the most general couplings of a bulk seven-dimensional
Yang-Mills-Einstein N=2 supergravity with a boundary six-dimensional chiral
N=(0,1) theory of vectors and charged hypermultiplets. The boundary consists of
two brane worlds sitting at the fixed points of an S^1/Z_2 compactification of
the seven-dimensional bulk supergravity. The resulting 6D massless spectrum
surviving the orbifold projection is anomalous. By introducing boundary fields
at the orbifold fixed points, we show that all anomalies are cancelled by a
Green-Schwarz mechanism. In addition, all couplings of the boundary fields to
the bulk are completely specified by supersymmetry. We emphasize that there is
no bulk Chern-Simons term to cancel the anomalies. The latter is traded for a
Green-Schwarz term which emerges in the boundary theory after a duality
transformation implemented to construct the bulk supergravity.Comment: LaTeX, 42 pages; typos corrected, reference added, version to appear

Scattering of neutrinos on a polarized electron target as a test for new physics beyond the Standard Model
In this paper, we analyze the scattering of the neutrino beam on the
polarized electron target, and predict the effects of two theoretically
possible scenarios beyond the Standard Model. In both scenarios, Dirac
neutrinos are assumed to be massive.
First, we consider how the existence of CP violation phase between the
complex vector V and axial A couplings of the Left-handed neutrinos affects the
azimuthal dependence of the differential cross section. The future superbeam
and neutrino factory experiments will provide the unique opportunity for the
leptonic CP violation studies, if the large magnetized sampling calorimeters
with good event reconstruction capabilities are build.
Next, we take into account a scenario with the participation of the exotic
scalar S coupling of the Right-handed neutrinos in addition to the standard
vector V and axial A couplings of the Left-handed neutrinos. The main goal is
to show how the presence of the R-handed neutrinos, in the above process
changes the spectrum of recoil electrons in relation to the expected Standard
Model prediction, using the current limits on the non-standard couplings. The
interference terms between the standard and exotic couplings in the
differential cross section depend on the angle between the transverse
incoming neutrino polarization and the transverse electron polarization of the
target, and do not vanish in the limit of massless neutrino. The detection of
the dependence on this angle in the energy spectrum of recoil electrons would
be a signature of the presence of the R-handed neutrinos in the
neutrino-electron scattering. To make this test feasible, the polarized
artificial neutrino source needs to be identified.Comment: 11 pages, 3 eps figures, revtex, submitted to publicatio
