The role of field redefinition on renormalisability of a general supersymmetric gauge theories
We investigate some issues on renormalisability of non-anticommutative
supersymmetric gauge theory related to field redefinitions. We study one loop
corrections to supersymmetric gauge theory
coupled to chiral matter in component formalism, and show the procedure which
has been introduced for renormalisation is problematic because some terms which
are needed for the renormalisability of theory are missed from the Lagrangian.
In order to prove the theory is renormalisable, we redefine the gaugino and the
auxiliary fields(), which result in a modified form of the
Lagrangian in the component formalism. Then, we show the modified Lagrangian
has extra terms which are necessary for renormalisability of
non-anticommutative supersymmetric gauge field theories. Finally we prove supersymmetric gauge theory is renormalisable up to one loop
corrections using standard method of renormalisation; besides, it is shown the
effective action is gauge invariant.Comment: arXiv admin note: text overlap with arXiv:hep-th/0505248 by other

Poisoning of ammonia synthesis catalyst considering off-design feed compositions
Activity of ammonia synthesis catalyst in the Haber-Bosch process is studied for the case of feeding the process with intermittent and impurity containing hydrogen stream from water electrolysis. Hydrogen deficiency due to low availability of renewable energy is offset by increased flow rate of nitrogen, argon, or ammonia, leading to off-design operation of the Haber-Bosch process. Catalyst poisoning by ppm levels of water and oxygen is considered as the main deactivation mechanism and is evaluated with a microkinetic model. Simulation results show that catalyst activity changes considerably with feed gas composition, even at exceptionally low water contents below 10ppm. A decreased hydrogen content always leads to lower poisoning of the catalyst. It is shown that ammonia offers less flexibility to the operation of Haber-Bosch process under fluctuating hydrogen production compared to nitrogen and argon. Transient and significant changes of catalyst activity are expected in electrolysis coupled Haber-Bosch process
Quantum gravitational optics in the field of a gravitomagnetic monopole
Vacuum polarization in QED in a background gravitational field induces
interactions which {\it effectively} modify the classical picture of light rays
as the null geodesics of spacetime. After a short introduction on the main
aspects of the quantum gravitational optics, as a nontrivial example, we study
this effect in the background of NUT space characterizing the spacetime of a
spherical mass endowed with a gravitomagnetic monopole charge, the so called
NUT factor.Comment: 9 pages, title changed and the text abridged for publication in the
