Nonextensive Quantum H-Theorem
A proof of the quantum -theorem taking into account nonextensive effects
on the quantum entropy is shown. The positiveness of the time variation
of combined with a duality transformation implies that the nonextensive
parameter lies in the interval [0,2]. It is also shown that the equilibrium
states are described by quantum -power law extensions of the Fermi-Dirac and
Bose-Einstein distributions. Such results reduce to the standard ones in the
extensive limit, thereby showing that the nonextensive entropic framework can
be harmonized with the quantum distributions contained in the quantum
statistics theory.Comment: 5 pages, LaTe
Braneworld solutions for F(R) models with non-constant curvature
This work deal with braneworld scenarios with generalized gravity. We
investigate models where the potential of the scalar field is polynomial or
nonpolynomial. We obtain exact and approximated solutions for the scalar field,
warp factor and energy density, in the complex scenario with no restriction on
the scalar curvature. In particular, we describe the case where the brane may
split, engendering internal structure, with the splitting caused by the same
parameter that controls deviation from standard gravity.Comment: 9 pages, 7 figures; new versio
On the connection of Gamma-rays, Dark Matter and Higgs searches at LHC
Motivated by the upcoming Higgs analyzes we investigate the importance of the
complementarity of the Higgs boson chase on the low mass WIMP search in direct
detection experiments and the gamma-ray emission from the Galactic Center
measured by the Fermi-LAT telescope in the context of the . We obtain the relic abundance, thermal cross section,
the WIMP-nucleon cross section in the low mass regime and network them with the
branching ratios of the Higgs boson in the model. We conclude that the Higgs
boson search has a profound connection to the dark matter problem in our model,
in particular for the case that ( GeV) the BR(
WIMPs) . This scenario could explain this plateau of any mild
excess regarding the Higgs search as well as explain the gamma-ray emission
from the galactic center through the channel with a WIMP in the mass
range of 25-45 GeV, while still being consistent with the current limits from
XENON100 and CDMSII. However, if the recent modest excesses measured at LHC and
TEVATRON are confirmed and consistent with a standard model Higgs boson this
would imply that GeV, consequently ruling out any attempt to
explain the Fermi-LAT observations.Comment: 8 pages, 9 figure
