A possible nuclear effect on the NuTeV sin^2 theta_W anomaly

We investigate a possible explanation for the NuTeV anomaly in terms of a nuclear correction difference between u_v and d_v distributions. Analyzing deep elastic scattering and Drell-Yan data for nuclear targets, we try to determine the correction difference and its effect on the anomaly. We find that the difference cannot be precisely determined at this stage due to the lack of data which are sensitive to the difference. Therefore, it is difficult to draw a solid conclusion about its effect although the anomaly could be explained, at least partially, by this kind of nuclear correction.Comment: 3 pages, 1 figure, to be published in the proceedings of the XVIIth Particles and Nuclei International Conference (PANIC), Santa Fe, New Mexico, USA, October 24-28, 200

Lepton Flavor Violations in High-Scale SUSY with Right-Handed Neutrinos

Motivated by the recent discovery of the Higgs boson at m_h = 126 GeV and also by the non-observation of superparticles at the LHC, high-scale SUSY, where the superparticles are as heavy as O(10) TeV, has been recently proposed. We study lepton-flavor violations (LFVs) in the high-scale SUSY with right-handed neutrinos. Even if the slepton masses are of O(10) TeV, the renormalization group (RG) effects on the slepton mass-squared matrix may induce large enough LFVs which are within the reach of future LFV experiments. We also discuss the implication of the right-handed neutrinos on the electroweak symmetry breaking in such a model, and show that the parameter region with the successful electroweak symmetry breaking is enlarged by the RG effects due to the right-handed neutrinos.Comment: 11 pages, 3 figure

Inhomogeneous Ferromagnetism and Unconventional Charge Dynamics in Disordered Double Exchange Magnets

We solve the double exchange model in the presence of arbitrary substitutional disorder by using a self consistently generated effective Hamiltonian for the spin degrees of freedom. The magnetic properties are studied through classical Monte Carlo while the effective exchange, $D_{ij}$, are calculated by solving the disordered fermion problem, and renormalised self-consistently with increasing temperature. We present exact results on the conductivity, magnetoresistance, optical response and `real space' structure of the inhomogeneous ferromagnetic state, and compare our results with charge dynamics in disordered La_{1-x}Sr_xMnO_3. The large sizes, ${\cal O} (10^3)$, accessible within our method allows a complete, controlled calculation on the disordered strongly interacting problem.Comment: 4 pages, 2 column revtex, 5 embedded figure
