Effect of the W-term for a t-U-W Hubbard ladder
Antiferromagnetic and d_{x2-y2}-pairing correlations appear delicately
balanced in the 2D Hubbard model. Whether doping can tip the balance to pairing
is unclear and models with additional interaction terms have been studied. In
one of these, the square of a local hopping kinetic energy H_W was found to
favor pairing. However, such a term can be separated into a number of simpler
processes and one would like to know which of these terms are responsible for
enhancing the pairing. Here we analyze these processes for a 2-leg Hubbard
ladder
Precise nondivergent analytic formulas for the radiative corrections to the beta energy spectrum in hyperon semileptonic decays over the entire Dalitz plot
Very accurate analytical expressions for the radiative corrections of
unpolarized hyperons semileptonic decays of charged and neutral baryons have
been obtained in the recent past. Some of these formulas contain logarithmic
singularities at the edges of the Dalitz plot for the three- and four-body
decays. These singularities are analyzed and integrated analytically to obtain
new divergentless formulas for the energy spectrum of the produced beta
particle. The new equations contain terms of the order alpha times the momentum
transfer, are applicable to any beta decay process and are suitable for a
model-independent experimental analysis.Comment: 22 pages, 4 figure
Detection of ultrafast oscillations in Superconducting Point-Contacts by means of Supercurrent Measurements
We present a microscopic calculation of the nondissipative current through a
superconducting quantum point contact coupled to a mechanical oscillator. Using
the non-equilibrium Keldysh Green function approach, we determine the
current-phase relation. The latter shows that at certain phases, the current is
sharply suppressed. These dips in the current-phase relation provide
information about the oscillating frequency and coupling strength of the
mechanical oscillator. We also present an effective two-level model from which
we obtain analytical expressions describing the position and width of the dips.
Our findings are of relevance for nanomechanical resonators based on
superconducting materials.Comment: 8 pages, 5 figures. Published in Phys. Rev.
Spectrum of Higgs particles in the Exceptional Supersymmetric Standard Model
We discuss the spectrum of Higgs bosons in the framework of the exceptional
supersymmetric standard model. The presence of a and exotic particles
predicted by the exceptional SUSY model allows the lightest Higgs particle to
be significantly heavier than in the MSSM and NMSSM. When the mass of the
lightest Higgs boson is larger than the heaviest scalar,
pseudoscalar and charged Higgs states lie beyond the range.Comment: Presented at 12th Lomonosov Conference on Elementary Particle

Around 200 new X-ray binary IDs from 13 years of Chandra observations of the M31 center
We have created 0.3--10 keV, 13 year, unabsorbed luminosity lightcurves for
528 X-ray sources in the central 20' of M31. We have 174 Chandra observations
spaced at ~1 month intervals thanks to our transient monitoring program, deeper
observations of the M31 nucleus, and some public data from other surveys. We
created 0.5--4.5 keV structure functions (SFs) for each source, for comparison
with the ensemble structure function of AGN. We find 220 X-ray sources with
luminosities > ~1E+35 erg/s that have SFs with significantly more variability
than the ensemble AGN SF, and are likely X-ray binaries (XBs). A further 30
X-ray sources were identified as XBs using other methods. We therefore have 250
probable XBs in total, including ~200 new identifications. This result
represents great progress over the ~50 XBs and ~40 XB candidates previously
identified out of the ~2000 X-ray sources within the D_25 region of M31; it
also demonstrates the power of SF analysis for identifying XBs in external
galaxies. We also identify a new transient black hole candidate, associated
with the M31 globular cluster B128.Comment: Accepted for publication in ApJ; 20 pages, 7 figures; Tables 1 and 2
