Can FCNC transition be seen in decays?
The decays present in principle the opportunity to observe the
short distance FCNC transition , which is sensitive to the
physics beyond the Standard Model. We analyze the decays
within the Standard Model, where in addition to the short distance dynamics
also the long distance dynamics is present. The short distance contribution due
to transition, which is present only in the Cabibbo suppressed
decays, is found to be three orders of magnitude smaller than the long distance
contribution. The branching ratios well above for Cabibbo suppressed
decays could signal new physics. The most frequent decays are the Cabibbo
allowed decays and ,
which are expected at the branching ratios of and , respectively. These rates are not much lower than the present
experimental upper limit.Comment: 3 pages, latex, 3 figures, Talk given by S. Prelovsek at the

Lateral Distribution for Aligned Events in Muon Groups Deep Underground
The paper concerns the so-called aligned events observed in cosmic rays. The
phenomenon of the alignment of the most energetic subcores of gamma-ray--hadron
() families (particles of the highest energies in the central EAS
core) was firstly found in the "Pamir" emulsion chamber experiment and related
to a coplanar particle production at eV. Here a separation
distribution (distances between pairs of muons) for aligned events has been
analyzed throughout muon groups measured by Baksan Underground Scintillation
Telescope (BUST) for threshold energies TeV during a period of
7.7 years. Only muon groups of multiplicity with inclined
trajectories for an interval of zenith angles were
selected for the analysis. The analysis has revealed that the distribution
complies with the exponential law. Meanwhile the distributions become steeper
with the increase of threshold energy. There has been no difference between the
lateral distribution of all the groups and the distribution of the aligned
groups.Comment: 4 pages, 3 figures. Prepared for the ISVHECRI'2006, Weihai, Chin
Regional Features of Attracting Foreign Investments into the Russian Economy
Aspects of investment attractiveness of subjects of Russian Federation, where the mode of Special Economic Zones (SEZ) is applied, are reviewed in this article. Emphasizing the importance of foreign direct investment for overcoming the technological gap from the leading world economies, the authors discuss several SEZs selected for reasons of uniformity of their socio-economic status and purpose of creating SEZ mode in them. One of the main purposes for establishing the SEZ mode is the creation of investment attractiveness for projects, being implemented in these regions. Special Economic Zones of Technical Innovation Type (Tomsk), industrial type (Samara, Ulyanovsk, Elabuga) are analyzed in this article because these are the types of SEZ modes where borrowing is supposed, as well as introduction and development of modern technologies. In large-scale projects planned by the Government in these areas, participation of small businesses is almost ignored, which, from the point of view of the authors, harms the investment attractiveness of the projects. Identification of regional special characteristics of investment attractiveness of studied objects is carried out in comparison with the state of small business in these areas. Importance of small business development in the creation of a favorable investment climate is shown
