Inverse type II seesaw mechanism and its signature at the LHC and ILC

The advent of the LHC, and the proposal of building future colliders as the ILC, both programmed to explore new physics at the TeV scale, justifies the recent interest in studying all kind of seesaw mechanisms whose signature lies on such energy scale. The natural candidate for this kind of seesaw mechanism is the inverse one. The conventional inverse seesaw mechanism is implemented in an arrangement involving six new heavy neutrinos in addition to the three standard ones. In this paper we develop the inverse seesaw mechanism based on Higgs triplet model and probe its signature at the LHC and ILC. We argue that the conjoint analysis of the LHC together with the ILC may confirm the mechanism and, perhaps, infer the hierarchy of the neutrino masses.Comment: 24 pages, 22 figure

The speed of sound and isentropic compressibility of liquid difluoromethane (HFC32) fromT=(248 to 343) K and pressures up to 65 MPa

This work reports experimental data on the speed of sound in liquid difluoromethane ŽHFC32, or R32. from T s Ž248 to 343. K and pressures up to 65 MPa. The results were obtained using a newly-built apparatus, calibrated with toluene over the whole experimental region, and show good agreement with two available data sets. The uncertainties are "0.01 K in the temperature, "0.025 MPa in the pressure up to 35 MPa, and "0.2 MPa above this value. The final uncertainty on the speed of sound is estimated to be "0.2 per cent. The data were fitted using a simple analytical equation and the results are discussed. The isentropic compressibility was calculated over the Ž p, T. surface where the reported speed of sound values and the corresponding literature densities overlap.info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio

The speed of sound, and derived thermodynamic properties of liquid trifluoromethane (HFC23) fromT=(258 to 303)K at pressures up to 65MPa

This work reports experimental data of the speed of sound in liquid trifluoromethane (HFC23, or R23) from T = (258 to 303) K at pressures up to 65 MPa, measured with a pulse-echo method adapted from Papadakis(1) and Guedes et al.(2) The results are fitted to a rational approximant and compared with literature data.(3) Derived thermodynamic properties such as the isentropic compressibility κs, the isothermal compressibility κT , the cubic expansion coefficient αp, and the specific heat capacity at constant pressure cp are calculated by combining the present experimental data with the density values published by other authors.(4–11) The estimated properties are compared, where possible, with literature data.info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio

Sterile neutrino dark matter, CDMS-II and a light Higgs boson

We add a singlet right handed neutrino plus a charged and a neutral singlet scalars to the standard model. This extension includes a discrete symmetry such that we obtain a heavy sterile neutrino which couples only to the electron and the new scalars. In this sense the singlet neutrino does not mix with ordinary ones and thus has no effect on Big Bang Nucleosynthesis. However, such sterile neutrino can be in equilibrium with electroweak particles in the early Universe due to its couplings to electrons and also because the Higgs boson mixes with the singlet scalars. We obtain that the sterile neutrino constitutes a dark matter candidate and analyze its direct detection in the light of current experiments. Our results show that if such a sterile neutrino is realized in nature, and CDMS-II experiment confirms its positive signal, dark matter demands a rather light Higgs boson with new Physics at some 500 GeV scale.Comment: 16 pages, 13 figures, uses axodraw.st
