Search for new physics at LHC

We review the search for new physics to be performed at the Large Hadron Collider(LHC). Namely, we review the expectations for the Higgs boson, supersymmetry and exotica detection at LHC. We also describe the main parameters of the CMS and ATLAS detectors.Comment: 93 pages, 31 figures, added reference

Prospects of detecting massive isosinglet neutrino at LHC in the CMS detector

A possibility to search for a heavy isosinglet (sterile) neutrino using its decay mode $\nu_s \to l^{\pm} + 2 jets$ in the $S$ - channel production $pp \to W^* + X \to l^{\pm}\nu_s + X$ in the CMS experiment is studied. The only assumption about the heavy neutrino is its nonzero mixing with $\nu_e$ or $\nu_{\mu}$. The corresponding CMS discovery potential expressed in terms of the heavy neutrino mass and the mixing parameter between the heavy and light neutrino is determined. It is shown that the heavy neutrino with a mass up to 800 $GeV$ could be detected in CMS. We also investigate the production of the heavy neutrino $N_l$ mixed with $\nu_e$ and/or $\nu_{\mu}$ in the $SU_C(3) \otimes SU_L(2) \otimes SU_R(2)\otimes U(1)$ model through the reaction $pp \to W_R + X \to l^{\pm}N_l + X$ with the same heavy neutrino decay channel as above. We find that for $M_{W_R} < 3 TeV$ it is possible to discover the heavy neutrino with a mass up to $0.75 \cdot M_{W_R}$.Comment: 14 pages, 13 figure

Prediction of the capacitance lineshape in two-channel quantum dots

We propose a set-up to realize two-channel Kondo physics using quantum dots. We discuss how the charge fluctuations on a small dot can be accessed by using a system of two single electron transistors arranged in parallel. We derive a microscopic Hamiltonian description of the set-up that allows us to make connection with the two-channel Anderson model (of extended use in the context of heavy-Fermion systems) and in turn make detailed predictions for the differential capacitance of the dot. We find that its lineshape, which we determined precisely, shows a robust behavior that should be experimentally verifiable.Comment: 4 pages, 3 figure

Pressure Shifts in High-Precision Hydrogen Spectroscopy: II. Impact Approximation and Monte-Carlo Simulations

We investigate collisional shifts of spectral lines involving excited hydrogenic states, where van der Waals coefficients have recently been shown to have large numerical values when expressed in atomic units. Particular emphasis is laid on the recent hydrogen 2S-4P experiment (and an ongoing 2S-6P experiment) in Garching, but numerical input data are provided for other transitions (e.g., involving S states), as well. We show that the frequency shifts can be described, to sufficient accuracy, in the impact approximation. The pressure related effects were separated into two parts, (i) related to collisions of atoms inside of the beam, and (ii) related to collisions of the atoms in the atomic beam with the residual background gas. The latter contains both atomic as well as molecular hydrogen. The dominant effect of intra-beam collisions is evaluated by a Monte-Carlo simulation, taking the geometry of the experimental apparatus into account. While, in the Garching experiment, the collisional shift is on the order of 10 Hz, and thus negligible, it can decisively depend on the experimental conditions. We present input data which can be used in order to describe the effect for other transitions of current and planned experimental interest.Comment: 26 pages; 2 figures; this is part 2 of a series of two papers; part 1 carries article number 075005, while part 2 carries article number 075006 in the journal (online journal version has been rectified

The Yang Lee Edge Singularity on Feynman Diagrams

We investigate the Yang-Lee edge singularity on non-planar random graphs, which we consider as the Feynman Diagrams of various d=0 field theories, in order to determine the value of the edge exponent. We consider the hard dimer model on phi3 and phi4 random graphs to test the universality of the exponent with respect to coordination number, and the Ising model in an external field to test its temperature independence. The results here for generic (``thin'') random graphs provide an interesting counterpoint to the discussion by Staudacher of these models on planar random graphs.Comment: LaTeX, 6 pages + 3 figure
