Magnetic Excitations in the Quasi-1D Ising-like Antiferromagnet TlCoCl
Neutron inelastic scattering measurements have been performed in order to
investigate the magnetic excitations in the quasi-1D Ising-like antiferromagnet
TlCoCl. We observed the magnetic excitation, which corresponds to the
spin-wave excitation continuum corresponding to the domain-wall pair excitation
in the 1D Ising-like antiferromagnet. According to the Ishimura-Shiba theory,
we analyzed the observed spin-wave excitation, and the exchange constant
and the anistropy were estimated as 14.7 meV and 0.14 in TlCoCl,
respectively.Comment: 2 pages, 3 figures, jpsj2.cls, to be published in J. Phys. Soc. Jpn.

Unitarity in Dirichlet Higgs Model
We show that a five dimensional Universal Extra Dimension model, compactified
on a line segment, is consistently formulated even when the gauge symmetry is
broken solely by non-zero Dirichlet boundary conditions on a bulk Higgs field,
without any quartic interaction. We find that the longitudinal W+W- elastic
scattering amplitude, under the absence of the Higgs zero-mode, is unitarized
by exchange of infinite towers of KK Higgs bosons. Resultant amplitude scales
linearly with the scattering energy, exhibiting five dimensional nature. A
tree-level partial-wave unitarity condition is satisfied up to 6.7 (5.7) TeV
for the KK scale 430 (500) GeV, favored by the electroweak data within 90% CL.Comment: 14pages, 2 figures (v1); References added (v2); Trivial error

Constraining Bosonic Supersymmetry from Higgs results and 8 TeV ATLAS multi-jets plus missing energy data
The collider phenomenology of models with Universal Extra Dimensions (UED) is
surprisingly similar to that of supersymmetric (SUSY) scenarios. For each
level-1 bosonic (fermionic) Kaluza-Klein (KK) state, there is a fermionic
(bosonic) analog in SUSY and thus UED scenarios are often known as bosonic
supersymmetry. The minimal version of UED (mUED) gives rise to a
quasi-degenerate particle spectrum at each KK-level and thus, can not explain
the enhanced Higgs to diphoton decay rate hinted by the ATLAS collaboration of
the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) experiment. However, in the non-minimal version
of the UED (nmUED) model, the enhanced Higgs to diphoton decay rate can be
easily explained via the suitable choice of boundary localized kinetic (BLK)
terms for higher dimensional fermions and gauge bosons. BLK terms remove the
degeneracy in the KK mass spectrum and thus, pair production of level-1 quarks
and gluons at the LHC gives rise to hard jets, leptons and large missing energy
in the final state. These final states are studied in details by the ATLAS and
CMS collaborations in the context of SUSY scenarios. We find that the absence
of any significant deviation of the data from the Standard Model (SM)
prediction puts a lower bound of about 2.1 TeV on equal mass excited quarks and
gluons.Comment: 19 page
