Explaining ATLAS and CMS Results Within the Reduced Minimal 3-3-1 model
Recently the ATLAS and CMS collaborations announced the discovery of a higgs
particle with a mass of GeV. The results are mildly consistent with
the Standard Model Higgs boson. However, the combined data from these
collaborations seem to point to an excess in the
channel. In this work we analyze under which conditions this excess may be
plausibly explained within the reduced minimal 3-3-1 model, while being
consistent with bb, WW, ZZ and channels. Moreover, we derive the
properties of the heavy neutral and the doubly charged scalars predicted by the
model. We then conclude that at a scale of a few TeV, this model provides a
good fit to the ATLAS and CMS signal strength measurements, and therefore
stands as an appealing alternative to the standard model.Comment: 23 pages, 9 figures. References adde
Spatial characteristics of observed precipitation fields: A catalog of summer storms in Arizona, Volume 1
Eight years of summer raingage observations are analyzed for a dense, 93 gage, network operated by the U. S. Department of Agriculture, Agricultural Research Service, in their 150 sq km Walnut Gulch catchment near Tucson, Arizona. Storms are defined by the total depths collected at each raingage during the noon to noon period for which there was depth recorded at any of the gages. For each of the resulting 428 storms, the 93 gage depths are interpolated onto a dense grid and the resulting random field is anlyzed. Presented are: storm depth isohyets at 2 mm contour intervals, first three moments of point storm depth, spatial correlation function, spatial variance function, and the spatial distribution of total rainstorm depth
Perspectivas de degradação de fezes bovinas pelo besouro coprófago africano, Digitonthophagus gazella, e espécies sul-americanas (Coleoptera; Scarabaeidae e Aphodiidae).
Este trabalho teve por objetivo determinar as espécies de besouros coprófagos das famÃlias Scarabaeidae e Aphodiidae presentes em pastagens cultivadas no cerrado sul-mato-grossense, com o intuito de conhecer aquelas com potencial promissor para uso no controle integrado dos parasitos bovinos associados à s MFs, em Campo Grande, MS. Adicionalmente, foi também avaliada a única espécie exótica, D. gazella, quanto ao comportamento de sua população em meio aos coleópteros coprófagos nativos.bitstream/CNPGC-2009-09/12485/1/COT100.pd
Is Small Perfect? Size Limit to Defect Formation in Pyramidal Pt Nanocontacts
We report high resolution transmission electron microscopy and ab initio
calculation results for the defect formation in Pt nanocontacts (NCs). Our
results show that there is a size limit to the existence of twins (extended
structural defects). Defects are always present but blocked away from the tip
axes. The twins may act as scattering plane, influencing contact electron
transmission for Pt NC at room temperature and Ag/Au NC at low temperature.Comment: 4 pages, 3 figure
