Lepton Flavor Violation and Collider Searches in a Type I + II Seesaw Model

Neutrino are massless in the Standard Model. The most popular mechanism to generate neutrino masses are the type I and type II seesaw, where right-handed neutrinos and a scalar triplet are augmented to the Standard Model, respectively. In this work, we discuss a model where a type I + II seesaw mechanism naturally arises via spontaneous symmetry breaking of an enlarged gauge group. Lepton flavor violation is a common feature in such setup and for this reason, we compute the model contribution to the $\mu \rightarrow e\gamma$ and $\mu \rightarrow 3e$ decays. Moreover, we explore the connection between the neutrino mass ordering and lepton flavor violation in perspective with the LHC, HL-LHC and HE-LHC sensitivities to the doubly charged scalar stemming from the Higgs triplet. Our results explicitly show the importance of searching for signs of lepton flavor violation in collider and muon decays. The conclusion about which probe yields stronger bounds depends strongly on the mass ordering adopted, the absolute neutrino masses and which much decay one considers. In the 1-5 TeV mass region of the doubly charged scalar, lepton flavor violation experiments and colliders offer orthogonal and complementary probes. Thus if a signal is observed in one of the two new physics searches, the other will be able to assess whether it stems from a seesaw framework.Comment: 41 pages, 1 figure, 2 table

Surface crossover exponent for branched polymers in two dimensions

Transfer-matrix methods on finite-width strips with free boundary conditions are applied to lattice site animals, which provide a model for randomly branched polymers in a good solvent. By assigning a distinct fugacity to sites along the strip edges, critical properties at the special (adsorption) and ordinary transitions are assessed. The crossover exponent at the adsorption point is estimated as $\phi = 0.505 \pm 0.015$, consistent with recent predictions that $\phi = 1/2$ exactly for all space dimensionalities.Comment: 10 pages, LaTeX with Institute of Physics macros, to appear in Journal of Physics

Primeiro registro da família Tachinidae como parasitóide de psilídeo (Hemiptera: Psylloidea).

Resumo

Diversity and distribution of jumping plant-lice (Hemiptera: Psylloidea) along edges of Amazon - Cerrado transitional forests in Sorriso, Mato Grosso, Brazil.

Little is known about the jumping plant-lice of Brazil from where seven families, 45 genera and 76 species have been previously reported, but estimates suggest that there may be as many as 1,000 species. This study reports 34 species of Psylloidea which were collected along the edges of Amazon?Cerrado natural transitional forests in the municipality of Sorriso, state of Mato Grosso, from August 2013 to July 2014. Of the species reported in this study only nine represent described taxa, two of which are reported for the first time from Mato Grosso.hardt et al. 2013; Mazzardo 2014; Mazzardo et al. 2016): the two introduced eucalypt pests Blastopsylla occidentalis and Glycaspis brimblecombei, the three Fabaceae feeders Euphalerus clitoriae, Isogonoceraia divergipennis and Macrocorsa beeryi, the Toona pest Mastigimas anjosi, and the Nectandra psylloid Limataphalara lautereri. To improve the apparent lack of knowledge, a survey of the psylloid fauna of the edges of Amazon?Cerrado native transitional forests was conducted in Sorriso, Mato Grosso, Brazil. Here we present a commented inventory of the species encountered during the dry and rainy seasons

Logarithmic corrections to gap scaling in random-bond Ising strips

Numerical results for the first gap of the Lyapunov spectrum of the self-dual random-bond Ising model on strips are analysed. It is shown that finite-width corrections can be fitted very well by an inverse logarithmic form, predicted to hold when the Hamiltonian contains a marginal operator.Comment: LaTeX code with Institute of Physics macros for 7 pages, plus 2 Postscript figures; to appear in Journal of Physics A (Letter to the Editor

Smoothly-varying hopping rates in driven flow with exclusion

We consider the one-dimensional totally asymmetric simple exclusion process (TASEP) with position-dependent hopping rates. The problem is solved,in a mean field/adiabatic approximation, for a general (smooth) form of spatial rate variation. Numerical simulations of systems with hopping rates varying linearly against position (constant rate gradient), for both periodic and open boundary conditions, provide detailed confirmation of theoretical predictions, concerning steady-state average density profiles and currents, as well as open-system phase boundaries, to excellent numerical accuracy.Comment: RevTeX 4.1, 14 pages, 9 figures (published version

Avaliação de combinações híbridas de melancia no Submédio São Francisco.

As cultivares de melancia no Brasil apresentam frutos de bom teor de açúcar, mas são pouco produtivas, suscetíveis a doenças (Sphaerotheca fuliginea, Didimella bryoniae e viroses) e têm frutos grandes. Considerando a existência de linhas diplóides e tetraplóides com boa homozigose e que a resistência é monogênica e dominante, foram obtidas combinações híbridas diplóides e triplóides as quais foram avaliadas em 2001 e 2002 no Campo Experimental de Bebedouro, em Petrolina-PE, utilizando-se irrigação por gotejamento no espaçamento de 3 m entre fileiras e 0,80 m entre plantas. Na colheita foram avaliados produção por planta e peso de fruto (kg), teor de sólidos solúveis (°Brix), ocamento da polpa e número de sementes perfeitas nas ombinações triplóides. A maioria das combinações híbridas apresentou mais de dez quilogramas por planta, frutos de 4 a 12 kg e teor de sólidos solúveis acima de 10 °Brix e e, portanto, muito semelhantes às testemunhas. No entanto, algumas combinações híbridas apresentaram ocamento da polpa e sementes perfeitas (combinações triplóides) necessitando continuar a seleção para esses dois caracteres.Suplemento.Edição de Resumos expandidos e palestras do 43.
