Lepton Number Violating Radiative Decay in Models with R-parity Violation
Models with explicit R-parity violation can induce new rare radiative decay
modes of the boson into single supersymmetric particles which also violate
lepton number. We examine the rate and signature for one such decay,
, and find that such a mode will be very difficult
to observe, due its small branching fraction, even if the lepton number
violating coupling in the superpotential is comparable in strength to
electromagnetism. This parallels a similar result obtained earlier by Hewett in
the case of radiative decays.Comment: 10 pages, 2 figures(available on request), LaTex, ANL-HEP-PR-92-8
Multi-Higgs doublet models: the Higgs-fermion couplings and their sum rules
This is the second of a series of papers that explores the physical
parameterization, sum rules and unitarity bounds arising from a non-minimal
scalar sector of the Standard Model (SM) that consists of N Higgs doublets. In
this paper, we focus on the structure and implication of the Yukawa
interactions that couple the N scalar doublets to the SM fermions. We employ
the charged Higgs basis, which is defined as the basis of scalar fields such
that the neutral scalar field vacuum expectation value resides entirely in one
of the N scalar doublet fields, and the charged components of the remaining N-1
scalar doublet fields are the physical (mass-eigenstate) charged Higgs fields.
Based on the structure of the Yukawa Lagrangian of the model (and as a
consequence of tree-level unitarity), one may deduce numerous sum rules,
several of which have not appeared previously in the literature. These sum
rules can be used to uncover intimate relations between the structure of the
Higgs-fermion couplings and the scalar/gauge couplings. In particular, we show
that the approximate alignment limit, in which the W+W- and ZZ couplings to the
observed Higgs boson are approximately SM-like, imposes significant constraints
on the Higgs-fermion couplings.Comment: 24 pages, 2 figures, 4 tables, uses jheppub.sty. Two typographical

A INDÚSTRIA DOS JOGOS ELETRÔNICOS: NOVAS TECNOLOGIAS, PROPRIEDADE INTELECTUAL E CENÁRIO MUNDIAL E BRASILEIRO
O presente artigo tem como objetivo identificar características da indústria de jogos eletrônicos, tendo em vista o crescimento considerável do valor do mercado mundial de jogos eletrônicos nos últimos anos. A evolução da tecnologia tem permitido o surgimento de novos setores como o setor de jogos. Este setor tem possibilitado a disponibilização de entretenimento, principalmente com o advento da internet e da plataforma online. Assim, analisa-se como o surgimento de novas tecnologias possibilitaram novos modelos de negócio e o desenvolvimento do setor de jogos eletrônicos. Verifica-se como a transformação na economia global interfere na gestão de propriedade intelectual.Examina-se a importância da propriedade intelectual no setor de jogos eletrônicos, tendo em vista que os jogos possuem dois elementos essenciais: o programa de computador, além de elementos individuais (ou seja, os personagens, sua trilha sonora, configurações, etc.), que podem ser protegidos por direitos autorais.Nesta seara, verifica-se que não existe uma classificação explícita para jogos eletrônicos nos termos da legislação brasileira, assim há a opção por um regime no qual é possível a proteção nestas duas esferas (direito autoral e programa de computador). Neste sentido, os elementos audiovisuais dos jogos eletrônicos podem ser enquadrados na definição da Lei de Direito Autoral de obra audiovisual (art. 5º, VIII, “i” da Lei 9.610/1996) e o programa de computador seria protegido pela Lei nº 9.279, de 14 de maio de 1996.Ademais, identificam-se o cenário mundial e brasileiro da indústria de jogos eletrônicos, tendo em vista o crescimento considerável do valor do mercado mundial de jogos eletrônicos nos últimos anos

Leptonic CP Violation in Supersymmetric Standard Model
We point out the possibility of spontaneous and hard CP-violation in the
scalar potential of R-parity broken supersymmetric Standard Model. The
existence of spontaneous CP-violation depends crucially on the R-parity
breaking terms in the superpotential and, in addition, on the choice of the
soft supersymmetry breaking terms. Unlike in theories with R-parity
conservation, it is natural, in the context of the present model, for the
sneutrinos to acquire (complex) vacuum expectation values. In the context of
this model we examine here the global implications, like the strength of the
CP-violating interactions and the neutrino masses.Comment: REVTEX, 15 page
The dilaton-dominated supersymmetry breaking scenario in the context of the non-minimal supersymmetric model
The phenomenological consequences of the dilaton-type soft supersymmetry
breaking terms in the context of the next to minimal supersymmetric standard
model are investigated. We always find a very low top quark mass. As a
consequence such string vacua are excluded by recent experimental results. The
viability of the solution of the term through the introduction of a gauge
singlet field is also briefly discussed.Comment: 10 pages,LATE
Low-Energy Thermal Leptogenesis in an Extended NMSSM Model
Thermal leptogenesis in the canonical seesaw model in supersymmetry suffers
from the incompatibility of a generic lower bound on the mass scale of the
lightest right-handed neutrino and the upper bound on the reheating temperature
of the Universe after inflation. This is resolved by adding an extra singlet
superfield, with a discrete symmetry, to the NMSSM (Next to Minimal
Supersymmetric Standard Model). This generic mechanism is applicable to any
supersymmetric model for lowering the scale of leptogenesis.Comment: 16 pages, revtex, 9 eps figure
Bilinear R-parity violation with flavor symmetry
Bilinear R-parity violation (BRPV) provides the simplest intrinsically
supersymmetric neutrino mass generation scheme. While neutrino mixing
parameters can be probed in high energy accelerators, they are unfortunately
not predicted by the theory. Here we propose a model based on the discrete
flavor symmetry with a single R-parity violating parameter, leading to
(i) correct Cabbibo mixing given by the Gatto-Sartori-Tonin formula, and a
successful unification-like b-tau mass relation, and (ii) a correlation between
the lepton mixing angles and in agreement with
recent neutrino oscillation data, as well as a (nearly) massless neutrino,
leading to absence of neutrinoless double beta decay.Comment: 16 pages, 3 figures. Extended version, as published in JHE
Broken R-parity, stop decays, and neutrino physics
We discuss the phenomenology of the lightest stop in models where R-parity is
broken by bilinear superpotential terms. In this class of models we consider
scenarios where the R-parity breaking two-body decay ~t_1->\tau^+b competes
with the leading three-body decays such as ~t_1->W^+b~\chi^0_1. We demonstrate
that the R-parity violating decay can be sizable and in some parts of the
parameter space even the dominant one. Moreover we discuss the expectations for
\~t_1->\mu^+b and ~t_1->e^+b. The recent results from solar and atmospheric
neutrinos suggest that these are as important as the tau bottom mode. The
\~t_1->l^+b decays are of particular interest for hadron colliders, as they may
allow a full mass reconstruction of the lighter stop. Moreover these decay
modes allow cross checks on the neutrino mixing angle involved in the solar
neutrino puzzle complementary to those possible using neutralino decays. For
the so--called small mixing angle or SMA solution ~t_1->e^+b should be
negligible, while for the large mixing angle type solutions all ~t_1->l^+b
decays should have comparable magnitude.Comment: 51 pages, 6 figures, LaTeX2e and RevTeX4, published versio
