Radiative neutrino decay and CP-violation in R-parity violating supersymmetry
We calculate the radiative decay amplitude for Majorana neutrinos in
trilinear R-parity violating supersymmetric framework. Our results make no
assumption regarding the masses and mixings of fermions and sfermions. The
results obtained are exemplary for generic models with loop-generated neutrino
masses. Comparison of this amplitude with the neutrino mass matrix shows that
the two provide independent probes of CP-violating phases.Comment: Latex, uses axodraw, 14 pages (small changes implemented
New Signatures of Squarks
When the gluino is light and long lived, missing energy is a poor signature
for both squarks and gluinos. Instead, production in and
collisions characteristically results in events with jets.
Methods are proposed for deciding whether an observed excess of 4-jet events is
due to production. The recent report by ALEPH of observation of 14
4-jet events when 7 were expected is discussed.Comment: 12/22/95 version (put on net 1/1/96) elaborates remarks on squarks as
possible source of ALEPH 4-jet excess and adds a ref. latex, 10 pages

Upper bounds on all R-parity-violating \lambda\lambda'' combinations from proton stability
In an R-parity-violating supersymmetric theory, we derive upper bounds on all
the \lambda''_{ijk}\lambda_{i'j'k'}-type combinations from the consideration of
proton stability, where \lambda''_{ijk} are baryon-number-violating couplings
involving three baryonic fields and \lambda_{i'j'k'} are
lepton-number-violating couplings involving three leptonic fields.Comment: 5 pages, Latex, uses axodraw.sty; minor changes in the text. Final

Effect of Fibonacci Modulation On Superconductivity
We have studied finite-sized single band models with short range pairing
interactions between electrons in presence of diagonal Fibonacci modulation in
one dimension. Two models, namely the attractive Hubbard model and the
Penson-Kolb model, have been investigated at half-filling at zero temperature
by solving the Bogoliubov-de Gennes equations in real space within a mean field
approximation. The competition between ``disorder'' and the pairing interaction
leads to a suppression of superconductivity (of usual pairs with zero
centre-of-mass momenta) in the strong-coupling limit while an enhancement of
the pairing correlation is observed in the weak-coupling regime for both the
models. However, the dissimilarity of the pairing mechanisms in these two
models brings about notable difference in the results. The extent to which the
bond ordered wave and the -paired (of pairs with centre-of-mass momenta =
) phases of the Penson-Kolb model are affected by the disorder has also
been studied in the present calculation. Some finite size effects are also
identified.Comment: 14 pages, 13 figure
FACTORS INFLUENCING RATES OF ADOPTION OF TRICHOMONIASIS VACCINE BY NEVADA RANGE CATTLE PRODUCERS
Tritrichimonas foetus vaccine has been marketed since 1989 to combat the trichomoniasis disease that causes reproductive failure and considerable economic loss to Nevada ranchers. An ex post technology adoption model is estimated to examine the possible adoption rate, to identify the factors that may influence the adoption behavior, and to test how the probability of adoption for five possible adopter groups would change due to changes in various ranch specific factors. Results indicate that use of computers, veterinary checkup of herd, and herd size influence the probability of adoption. Model results show that cooperative extension programs enhance the rate of adoption.Livestock Production/Industries,
A Non-supersymmetric Interpretation of the CDF e+e-\gamma\gamma + missing E_T Event
The \eegg event reported recently by the CDF Collaboration has been
interpreted as a signal of supersymmetry in several recent papers. In this
article, we report on an alternative non-supersymmetric interpretation of the
event using an extension of the standard model which contains new physics at
the electroweak scale that does not effect the existing precision electroweak
data. We extend the standard model by including an extra sequential generation
of fermions, heavy right-handed neutrinos for all generations and an extra
singly charged SU(2)-singlet Higgs boson. We discuss possible ways to
discriminate this from the standard supersymemtric interpretations.Comment: 7 pages, Latex, no figure

Constraining R-parity violating couplings from B --> PP decays using QCD improved factorization method
We investigate the role of R-parity violating interaction in the non-leptonic
decays of B mesons into two light mesons B --> PP. The decay amplitudes are
calculated using the QCD improved factorization method. Using the combined data
on B decays from BaBar, Belle and CLEO, we obtain strong constraints on the
various products of R-parity violating couplings. Many of these new constraints
are stronger than the existing bounds.Comment: 19 pages including two eps figure
Evidence for enhanced desorption of hydrogen atoms from a Si 100 surface induced by slow highly charged ions
We report evidence for an enhanced desorption of hydrogen atoms from a Si 100 surface bombarded by 30 keV Xeq q 6?22 ions. The measured desorption yield amounts to 0.76 and 2.2 hydrogen atoms per incident Xe10 and Xe18 ion, respectively. For understanding the behaviour of hydrogen desorption from Si, another experiment was carried out to see the hydrogen signals as a function of time for about 140 min after deliberately introducing hydrogen into the target chamber and then shut off the valve. The results are discussed in the light of potential sputtering which essentially dominates for ions at higher charge states and the interpretation is supported by theoretical estimates
Gravitational quasinormal modes of AdS black branes in d spacetime dimensions
The AdS/CFT duality has established a mapping between quantities in the bulk
AdS black-hole physics and observables in a boundary finite-temperature field
theory. Such a relationship appears to be valid for an arbitrary number of
spacetime dimensions, extrapolating the original formulations of Maldacena's
correspondence. In the same sense properties like the hydrodynamic behavior of
AdS black-hole fluctuations have been proved to be universal. We investigate in
this work the complete quasinormal spectra of gravitational perturbations of
-dimensional plane-symmetric AdS black holes (black branes). Holographically
the frequencies of the quasinormal modes correspond to the poles of two-point
correlation functions of the field-theory stress-energy tensor. The important
issue of the correct boundary condition to be imposed on the gauge-invariant
perturbation fields at the AdS boundary is studied and elucidated in a fully
-dimensional context. We obtain the dispersion relations of the first few
modes in the low-, intermediate- and high-wavenumber regimes. The sound-wave
(shear-mode) behavior of scalar (vector)-type low-frequency quasinormal mode is
analytically and numerically confirmed. These results are found employing both
a power series method and a direct numerical integration scheme.Comment: added references, typos corrected, minor changes, final version for
