High- superconductivity in undoped ThFeAsN
Unlike the widely studied ReFeAsO series, the newly discovered iron-based
superconductor ThFeAsN exhibits a remarkably high critical temperature of 30 K,
without chemical doping or external pressure. Here we investigate in detail its
magnetic and superconducting properties via muon-spin rotation/relaxation
(SR) and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) techniques and show that ThFeAsN
exhibits strong magnetic fluctuations, suppressed below 35 K, but no magnetic
order. This contrasts strongly with the ReFeAsO series, where stoichiometric
parent materials order antiferromagnetically and superconductivity appears only
upon doping. The ThFeAsN case indicates that Fermi-surface modifications due to
structural distortions and correlation effects are as important as doping in
inducing superconductivity. The direct competition between antiferromagnetism
and superconductivity, which in ThFeAsN (as in LiFeAs) occurs at already zero
doping, may indicate a significant deviation of the -wave superconducting
gap in this compound from the standard scenario.Comment: 6 pages, 5 figure
The and decays with the fourth generation
If the fourth generation fermions exist, the new quarks could influence the
branching ratios of the decays of and . We
obtain two solutions of the fourth generation CKM factor
from the decay of . We use these
two solutions to calculate the new contributions of the fourth generation quark
to Wilson coefficients of the decay of . The branching ratio
and the forward-backward asymmetry of the decay of in the two
cases are calculated. Our results are quite different from that of SM in one
case, almost same in another case. If Nature chooses the formmer, the meson
decays could provide a possible test of the forth generation existence.Comment: 10 pages, 5 figure
The Electric Dipole Moment and CP Violation in in SUGRA Models with Nonuniversal Gaugino Masses
The constraints of electric dipole moments (EDMs) of electron and neutron on
the parameter space in supergravity (SUGRA) models with nonuniversal gaugino
masses are analyzed. It is shown that with a light sparticle spectrum, the
sufficient cancellations in the calculation of EDMs can happen for all phases
being order of one in the small tan case and all phases but
() order of one in the large tan case. This is
in contrast to the case of mSUGRA in which in the parameter space where
cancellations among various SUSY contributions to EDMs happen
must be less than for small and for
large . Direct CP asymmetries and the T-odd polarization of lepton in
are investigated in the models. In the large tan case,
and for l= () can be enhanced by about a factor of
ten (ten) and ten (three) respectively compared to those of mSUGRA.Comment: 12 pages, latex, 4 figures, a few change
