Interaction of massless Dirac field with a Poincar\'e gauge field
In this paper we consider a model of Poincar\'e gauge theory (PGT) in which a
translational gauge field and a Lorentz gauge field are actually identified
with the Einstein's gravitational field and a pair of ``Yang-Mills'' field and
its partner, respectively.In this model we re-derive some special solutions and
take up one of them. The solution represents a ``Yang-Mills'' field without its
partner field and the Reissner-Nordstr\"om type spacetime, which are generated
by a PGT-gauge charge and its mass.It is main purpose of this paper to
investigate the interaction of massless Dirac fields with those fields. As a
result, we find an interesting fact that the left-handed massless Dirac fields
behave in the different manner from the right-handed ones. This can be
explained as to be caused by the direct interaction of Dirac fields with the
``Yang-Mills'' field. Accordingly, the phenomenon can not happen in the
behavior of the neutrino waves in ordinary Reissner-Nordstr\"om geometry. The
difference between left- and right-handed effects is calculated quantitatively,
considering the scattering problems of the massless Dirac fields by our
Reissner-Nordstr\"om type black-hole.Comment: 10pages, RevTeX3.
Sector logic implementation for the ATLAS endcap level-1 muon trigger
We present development of the Sector Logic for the ATLAS endcap Level-1 (LVL1) muon trigger. The muon tracks from the interaction point (IP) are bent by the magnetic fields induced by the ATLAS toroidal magnets. The Sector Logic reconstructs three dimensional muon tracks with six levels of transverse momentum (pT) by combining two sets (R-Z and φ-Z) of information from the Thin Gap Chamber (TGC) detectors. Then, it selects two highest pT tracks in each trigger sector. The Sector Logic module is designed in pipelined structure to achieve no-dead-time operation and shorter latency. Look-Up-Tables (LUTs) are used so that any pT threshold level can be set. To achieve these, we adopted SRAM embedded type FPGA devices. The design and its performance are given in this presentation
Charge-density-wave instability in the Holstein model with quartic anharmonic phonons
The molecular-crystal model, that describes a one-dimensional electron gas
interacting with quartic anharmonic lattice vibrations, offers great potentials
in the mapping of a relatively wide range of low-dimensional fermion systems
coupled to optical phonons onto quantum liquids with retarded interactions.
Following a non-perturbative approach involving non-Gaussian partial functional
integrations of lattice degrees of freedom, the exact expression of the
phonon-mediated two-electron action for this model is derived. With the help of
Hubbard-Stratonovich transformation the charge-density-wave instability is
examined in the sequel, with particular emphasis on the effect of the quartic
anharmonic phonons on the charge-density-wave transition temperature.Comment: 12 pages, 3 figure
Improved Measurement of the K+ to pi+ nu nubar Branching Ratio
An additional event near the upper kinematic limit for K+ to pi+ nu nubar has
been observed by Experiment E949 at Brookhaven National Laboratory. Combining
previously reported and new data, the branching ratio is B(K+ to pi+ nu nubar)=
1.47 (+1.30, - 0.89) x 10-10 based on three events observed in the pion
momentum region 211<P<229 MeV/c. At the measured central value of the branching
ratio, the additional event had a signal-to-background ratio of 0.9
Improved measurement of the K+->pi+nu(nu)over-bar branching ratio
An additional event near the upper kinematic limit for K+-->pi(+)nu(nu) over bar has been observed by experiment E949 at Brookhaven National Laboratory. Combining previously reported and new data, the branching ratio is B(K+-->pi(+)nu(nu) over bar)=(1.47(-0.89)(+1.30))x10(-10) based on three events observed in the pion momentum region 211<P<229 MeV/c. At the measured central value of the branching ratio, the additional event had a signal-to-background ratio of 0.9
Search for the decay K+ to pi+ gamma gamma in the pi+ momentum region P>213 MeV/c
We have searched for the K+ to pi+ gamma gamma decay in the kinematic region
with pi+ momentum close to the end point. No events were observed, and the 90%
confidence-level upper limit on the partial branching ratio was obtained, B(K+
to pi+ gamma gamma, P>213 MeV/c) < 8.3 x 10-9 under the assumption of chiral
perturbation theory including next-to-leading order ``unitarity'' corrections.
The same data were used to determine an upper limit on the K+ to pi+ gamma
branching ratio of 2.3 x 10-9 at the 90% confidence level.Comment: 15 pages, 3 figures; no change in the results, accepted for

Upper Limit on the Branching Ratio for the Decay
A sample of kinematically identified decays obtained
with the E949 detector was used to search for the helicity-suppressed decay
resulting in an upper limit of at
90% confidence level.The upper limit is also applicable to decays into
unknown weakly interacting particles.Comment: 9 pages, 3 figures; no change in the results, accepted for
