Leptonic anomalous gauge couplings detection on electron positron colliders

We studied the dimension-6 leptonic anomalous gauge couplings in the formulation of linearly realized gauge symmetry effective Lagrangian and investigated the constraints on these anomalous couplings from the existed experimental data including LEP2 and $W$/$Z$ boson decay. Some bounds of $O(0.1-10){\rm TeV}^{-2}$ on four relevant anomalous couplings are given by the Z factories. We studied the sensitivity of testing the leptonic anomalous couplings via the process $e^+e^-\rightarrow W^+W^-$ at future $e^+e^-$ linear colliders. We discussed different sensitivities to anomalous couplings at polarized and unpolarized $e^+e^-$ colliders, respectively, with 500 GeV and 1 TeV collision energy. Our results show that the a 500 GeV ILC can provide a test of the anomalous couplings, with the same relative uncertainty of cross section measurement, of $O(0.1-1){\rm TeV}^{-2}$, and a 1 TeV ILC can test the anomalous couplings of $O(0.01-0.1){\rm TeV}^{-2}$.Comment: 18 pages, 9 figures. feynman rules of $eeWW$ and $vvWW$ vertex corrected; correspongding results (of $f_7$and $f_24$) revise

Categorizing resonances X(1835), X(2120) and X(2370) in the pseudoscalar meson family

Inspired by the newly observed three resonances X(1835), X(2120) and X(2370), in this work we systematically study the two-body strong decays and double pion decays of $\eta(1295)/\eta(1475)$, $\eta(1760)/X(1835)$ and $X(2120)/X(2370)$ by categorizing $\eta(1295)/\eta(1475)$, $\eta(1760)/X(1835)$, X(2120) and X(2370) as the radial excitations of $\eta(548)/\eta^\prime(958)$. Our numerical results indicate the followings: (1) The obtained theoretical strong decay widths of three pseudoscalar states $\eta(1295)$, $\eta(1475)$ and $\eta(1760)$ are consistent with the experimental measurements; (2) X(1835) could be the second radial excitation of $\eta^\prime(958)$; (3) X(2120) and X(2370) can be explained as the third and fourth radial excitations of $\eta(548)/\eta^\prime(958)$, respectively.Comment: 16 pages, 15 figures, 3 tables.

Calcineurin B-Like Proteins CBL4 and CBL10 Mediate Two Independent Salt Tolerance Pathways in Arabidopsis.

In Arabidopsis, the salt overly sensitive (SOS) pathway, consisting of calcineurin B-like protein 4 (CBL4/SOS3), CBL-interacting protein kinase 24 (CIPK24/SOS2) and SOS1, has been well defined as a crucial mechanism to control cellular ion homoeostasis by extruding Na+ to the extracellular space, thus conferring salt tolerance in plants. CBL10 also plays a critical role in salt tolerance possibly by the activation of Na+ compartmentation into the vacuole. However, the functional relationship of the SOS and CBL10-regulated processes remains unclear. Here, we analyzed the genetic interaction between CBL4 and CBL10 and found that the cbl4 cbl10 double mutant was dramatically more sensitive to salt as compared to the cbl4 and cbl10 single mutants, suggesting that CBL4 and CBL10 each directs a different salt-tolerance pathway. Furthermore, the cbl4 cbl10 and cipk24 cbl10 double mutants were more sensitive than the cipk24 single mutant, suggesting that CBL10 directs a process involving CIPK24 and other partners different from the SOS pathway. Although the cbl4 cbl10, cipk24 cbl10, and sos1 cbl10 double mutants showed comparable salt-sensitive phenotype to sos1 at the whole plant level, they all accumulated much lower Na+ as compared to sos1 under high salt conditions, suggesting that CBL10 regulates additional unknown transport processes that play distinct roles from the SOS1 in Na+ homeostasis

Research status quo and prospection of mechanical characteristics of rock under high temperature and high pressure

AbstractThe mechanical features of rock have significant relevance to temperature. The problems related to temperature are becoming a hot geotechnical research field. The paper summarized the rheological characteristics, failure, instability modes at high temperature and high pressure, rules of elastic modulus and thermal expand coefficient changing with temperature, as well as the thermal-induced failure characteristics of rock affected by temperature and pressure, and finally prospects the research directions of high temperature rock mechanics

In-situ cosmogenic ³⁶Cl denudation rates of carbonates in Guizhou karst area

This study quantifies surface denudation of carbonate rocks by the first application of in-situ cosmogenic <sup>36</sup>Cl in China. Concentrations of natural Cl and in-situ cosmogenic <sup>36</sup>Cl in bare carbonates from Guizhou karst areas were measured with isotope dilution by accelerator mass spectrometer. The Cl concentration varied from 16 to 206 ppm. The <sup>36</sup>Cl concentrations were in range of (0.8–2.4)×106 atom g−1, resulting in total denudation rates of 20–50 mm ka−1 that averaged over a 104–105 a timescale. The <sup>36</sup>Cl-denudation rates showed roughly a negative correlation with the local mean temperature. This preliminary observation may suggest the variations of proportions of chemical weathering and physical erosion in denudation process, depending upon local climatic conditions
