Effects of Sfermion Mixing induced by RGE Running in the Minimal Flavor Violating CMSSM
Within the Constrained Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (CMSSM) with
Minimal Flavor Violation (MFV) for scalar quarks we study the effects of
intergenerational squark mixing on -physics observables, electroweak
precision observables (EWPO) and the Higgs boson mass predictions. Squark
mixing is generated through the Renormalization Group Equations (RGE) running
from the GUT scale to the electroweak scale due to presence of non diagonal
Yukawa matrices in the RGE's, e.g. due to the CKM matrix. We find that the
-Physics observables as well as the Higgs mass predictions do not receive
sizable corrections. On the other hand, the EWPO such as the boson mass can
receive corrections by far exceeding the current experimental precision. These
contributions can place new upper bounds on the CMSSM parameter space. We
extend our analysis to the CMSSM extended with a mechanism to explain neutrino
masses (CMSSM-seesaw I), which induces flavor violation in the scalar lepton
sector. Effects from slepton mixing on the analyzed observables are in general
smaller than from squark mixing, but can reach the level of the current
experimenal uncertainty for the EWPO
The Quark Flavor Violating Higgs Decay in the MSSM
We study the quark flavor violating Higgs-boson decay in the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM). The decay is
analyzed first in a model independent, and in a second step in the minimal
flavor violationg (MFV) Constrained MSSM. The experimental constraints from
-Physics observables (BPO) and electroweak precision observables (EWPO) are
also calculated and imposed on the parameter space. It is shown that in some
cases the EWPO restrict the flavor violating parameter space stronger than the
BPO. In the model independent analysis values of can be
found for . In the MFV CMSSM such
results can only be obtained in very restricted parts of the parameter space.
The results show that it is not excluded to observe the decay in the MSSM at future colliders.Comment: arXiv admin note: text overlap with arXiv:1501.02258; text overlap

Fate of Electromagnetic Field on the Cracking of PSR J1614-2230 in Quadratic Regime
In this paper, we study the cracking of compact object PSR J1614-2230 in
quadratic regime with electromagnetic field. For this purpose, we develop a
general formalism to determine the cracking of charged compact objects. We
apply the local density perturbations to the hydrostatic equilibrium equation
as well as all the physical variables involve in the model. We plot the force
distribution function against radius of the star with different values of model
parameters both with and without charge. It is found that PSR J1614-2230
remains stable (no cracking) corresponding to different values of parameters
when charge is zero, while it exhibit cracking (unstable) when charge is
introduced. We conclude that stability region increases as amount of charge
increases.Comment: 21 pages, 8 figures, version to appear in advances in high energy

Higgs masses and Electroweak Precision Observables in the Lepton-Flavor-Violating MSSM
We study the effects of Lepton Flavor Violation (LFV) in the scalar lepton
sector of the MSSM on precision observables such as the W-boson mass and the
effective weak leptonic mixing angle, and on the Higgs-boson mass predictions.
The slepton mass matrices are parameterized in a model-independent way by a
complete set of dimensionless parameters which we constrain through LFV decay
processes and the precision observables. We find regions where both conditions
are similarly constraining. The necessary prerequisites for the calculation
have been added to FeynArts and FormCalc and are thus publicly available for
further studies. The obtained results are available in FeynHiggs.Comment: LaTeX, 30 page
Measurement of single event upsets in the ALICE-TPC front-end electronics
The Time Projection Chamber of the ALICE experiment at the CERN Large Hadron
Collider features highly integrated on-detector read-out electronics. It is
following the general trend of high energy physics experiments by placing the
front-end electronics as close to the detector as possible -- only some 10 cm
away from its active volume. Being located close to the beams and the
interaction region, the electronics is subject to a moderate radiation load,
which allowed us to use commercial off-the-shelf components. However, they
needed to be selected and qualified carefully for radiation hardness and means
had to be taken to protect their functionality against soft errors, i.e. single
event upsets.
Here we report on the first measurements of LHC induced radiation effects on
ALICE front-end electronics and on how they attest to expectations
Study of polytropes with Generalized polytropic Equation of State
The aim of this paper is to discuss the theory of Newtonian and relativistic
polytropes with generalized polytropic equation of state. For this purpose, we
formulated the general framework to discuss the physical properties of
polytrops with anisotropic inner fluid distribution under conformally flat
condition in the presence of charge. We investigate the stability of these
polytrops in the vicinity of generalized polytropic equation through
Tolman-mass. It is concluded that one of the derived models is physically
acceptable.Comment: 21 pages, 3 figure
