Measurements of SCRF cavity dynamic heat load in horizontal test system
The Horizontal Test System (HTS) at Fermilab is currently testing fully
assembled, dressed superconducting radio frequency (SCRF) cavities. These
cavities are cooled in a bath of superfluid helium at 1.8K. Dissipated RF power
from the cavities is a dynamic heat load on the cryogenic system. The magnitude
of heat flux from these cavities into the helium is also an important variable
for understanding cavity performance. Methods and hardware used to measure this
dynamic heat load are presented. Results are presented from several cavity
tests and testing accuracy is discussed.Comment: 6 pp. Cryogenic Engineering Conference and International Cryogenic

A left-right symmetric model with SU(2)-triplet fermions
We consider an
left-right symmetric model with three Higgs scalars including an
doublet, an doublet and an bidoublet. In
addition to usual SU(2)-doublet fermions, our model contains SU(2)-triplet
fermions with Majorana masses. The neutral components of the left-handed
triplets can contribute a canonical seesaw while the neutral components of the
right-handed triplets associated with the right-handed neutrinos can contribute
a double/inverse-type seesaw. Our model can be embedded into an SO(10) grand
unification theory where the triplets belong to the representations.Comment: 4 pages. To appear in Phys. Rev.
Radiative seesaw in left-right symmetric model
There are some radiative origins for the neutrino masses in the conventional
left-right symmetric models with the usual bi-doublet and triplet Higgs
scalars. These radiative contributions could dominate over the tree-level
seesaw and could explain the observed neutrino masses.Comment: 5 pages, 3 figures. Revised version with minor change. Accepted by

Space Telescope and Optical Reverberation Mapping Project. V. Optical Spectroscopic Campaign and Emission-line Analysis for NGC 5548
We present the results of an optical spectroscopic monitoring program targeting NGC 5548 as part of a larger multiwavelength reverberation mapping campaign. The campaign spanned 6 months and achieved an almost daily cadence with observations from five ground-based telescopes. The Hβ and He II λ4686 broad emission-line light curves lag that of the 5100 Å optical continuum by 4.17^(+0.36)_(-0.36) days and 0.79^(+0.35)_(-0.34) days, respectively. The Hβ lag relative to the 1158 Å ultraviolet continuum light curve measured by the Hubble Space Telescope is ~50% longer than that measured against the optical continuum, and the lag difference is consistent with the observed lag between the optical and ultraviolet continua. This suggests that the characteristic radius of the broad-line region is ~50% larger than the value inferred from optical data alone. We also measured velocity-resolved emission-line lags for Hβ and found a complex velocity-lag structure with shorter lags in the line wings, indicative of a broad-line region dominated by Keplerian motion. The responses of both the Hβ and He II emission lines to the driving continuum changed significantly halfway through the campaign, a phenomenon also observed for C IV, Lyα, He II(+O III]), and Si IV(+O IV]) during the same monitoring period. Finally, given the optical luminosity of NGC 5548 during our campaign, the measured Hβ lag is a factor of five shorter than the expected value implied by the R_(BLR)–L_(AGN) relation based on the past behavior of NGC 5548
Modal Analysis of a Two-Parachute System
The Orion capsule is designed to land under a nominal configuration of three main parachutes; however, the system is required to be fault tolerant and land successfully if one of the main parachutes fails to open. The Capsule Parachute Assembly System (CPAS) Team performed a series of drop tests in order to characterize the performance of the system with two main parachutes. During the series of drop tests, several distinct dynamical modes were observed. The most consequential of these is the pendulum mode. Three other modes are benign: flyout (scissors), maypole, and breathing. The actual multi-body system is nonlinear, flexible, and possesses significant cross-coupling. Rather than perform analysis of this highly complex system directly, we conduct analysis of each dynamical mode observed during flight, based on first principles. This approach is analogous to traditional aircraft flight dynamics analysis in which the full nonlinear behavior of the airframe is decomposed into longitudinal dynamics (phugoid and short-period modes) and lateral dynamics (spiral, roll-subsidence, and dutch-roll modes). This analysis is intended to supplement multi-body nonlinear simulations in order to provide further insight into the system
The Rogue Wave and breather solution of the Gerdjikov-Ivanov equation
The Gerdjikov-Ivanov (GI) system of and is defined by a quadratic
polynomial spectral problem with matrix coefficients. Each element
of the matrix of n-fold Darboux transformation of this system is expressed by a
ratio of determinant and determinant of
eigenfunctions, which implies the determinant representation of and
generated from known solution and . By choosing some special
eigenvalues and eigenfunctions according to the reduction conditions
, the determinant representation of provides
some new solutions of the GI equation. As examples, the breather solutions and
rogue wave of the GI is given explicitly by two-fold DT from a periodic "seed"
with a constant amplitude.Comment: 8 figures, 17 page
Resonant Leptogenesis and Verifiable Seesaw from Large Extra Dimensions
In the presence of large extra dimensions, the fundamental scale could be as
low as a few TeV. This yields leptogenesis and seesaw at a TeV scale.
Phenomenologically two TeV-scale Majorana fermions with a small mass split can
realize a resonant leptogenesis whereas a TeV-scale Higgs triplet with a small
trilinear coupling to the standard model Higgs doublet can give a verifiable
seesaw. We propose an interesting scenario where the small parameters for the
resonant leptogenesis and the type-II seesaw can be simultaneously generated by
the propagation of lepton number violation from distant branes to our world.Comment: 5 pages. More discussions and references. Published in PR

A Minimal Type II Seesaw Model
We propose a minimal type II seesaw model by introducing only one
right-handed neutrino besides the triplet Higgs to the standard
model. In the usual type II seesaw models with several right-handed neutrinos,
the contributions of the right-handed neutrinos and the triplet Higgs to the CP
asymmetry, which stems from the decay of the lightest right-handed neutrino,
are proportional to their respective contributions to the light neutrino mass
matrix. However, in our minimal type II seesaw model, this CP asymmetry is just
given by the one-loop vertex correction involving the triplet Higgs, even
though the contribution of the triplet Higgs does not dominate the light
neutrino masses. For illustration, the Fritzsch-type lepton mass matrices are
considered.Comment: 5 pages, 4 figures, some points clarified, useful references added,
