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 / boson decay. Some bounds of
on four relevant anomalous couplings are given by the
Z factories. We studied the sensitivity of testing the leptonic anomalous
couplings via the process at future linear
colliders. We discussed different sensitivities to anomalous couplings at
polarized and unpolarized 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 , and a 1 TeV ILC can test the
anomalous couplings of .Comment: 18 pages, 9 figures. feynman rules of and vertex

Phonon and Raman scattering of two-dimensional transition metal dichalcogenides from monolayer, multilayer to bulk material
Two-dimensional (2D) transition metal dichalcogenide (TMD) nanosheets exhibit
remarkable electronic and optical properties. The 2D features, sizable
bandgaps, and recent advances in the synthesis, characterization, and device
fabrication of the representative MoS, WS, WSe, and MoSe TMDs
make TMDs very attractive in nanoelectronics and optoelectronics. Similar to
graphite and graphene, the atoms within each layer in 2D TMDs are joined
together by covalent bonds, while van der Waals interactions keep the layers
together. This makes the physical and chemical properties of 2D TMDs layer
dependent. In this review, we discuss the basic lattice vibrations of
monolayer, multilayer, and bulk TMDs, including high-frequency optical phonons,
interlayer shear and layer breathing phonons, the Raman selection rule,
layer-number evolution of phonons, multiple phonon replica, and phonons at the
edge of the Brillouin zone. The extensive capabilities of Raman spectroscopy in
investigating the properties of TMDs are discussed, such as interlayer
coupling, spin--orbit splitting, and external perturbations. The interlayer
vibrational modes are used in rapid and substrate-free characterization of the
layer number of multilayer TMDs and in probing interface coupling in TMD
heterostructures. The success of Raman spectroscopy in investigating TMD
nanosheets paves the way for experiments on other 2D crystals and related van
der Waals heterostructures.Comment: 30 pages, 23 figure
Investigation of a Side-polished Fiber MZI and Its Sensing Performance
A novel all-fiber Mach–Zehnder interferometer (MZI), which consists of lateral core fusion splicing of a short section of side-polished single mode fiber (SMF) between two SMFs was proposed and demonstrated. A simple fiber side-polished platform was built to control the side polished depth through a microscope. The sensitivity of the fiber MZI structure to the surrounding refractive index (RI) can be greatly improved with the increase of the side-polished depth, but has no effect on the temperature sensitivity. The sensor with a polished depth of 44.2 μm measured RI sensitivity up to -118.0 nm/RIU (RI unit) in the RI range from 1.333 to 1.387, which agrees well with simulation results by using the beam propagation method (BPM). In addition, the fiber MZI structure also can achieve simultaneous measurement of both RI and temperature. These results show its potential for use in-line fiber type sensing application
Method of determining cosmological parameter ranges with samples of candles with an intrinsic distribution
In this paper, the effect of the intrinsic distribution of cosmological
candles is investigated. We find that, in the case of a narrow distribution,
the deviation of the observed modulus of sources from the expected central
value could be estimated within a ceratin range. We thus introduce a lower and
upper limits of , and , to
estimate cosmological parameters by applying the conventional minimizing method. We apply this method to a gamma-ray burst (GRB) sample as well as
to a combined sample including this GRB sample and an SN Ia sample. Our
analysis shows that: a) in the case of assuming an intrinsic distribution of
candles of the GRB sample, the effect of the distribution is obvious and should
not be neglected; b) taking into account this effect would lead to a poorer
constraint of the cosmological parameter ranges. The analysis suggests that in
the attempt of constraining the cosmological model with current GRB samples,
the results tend to be worse than what previously thought if the mentioned
intrinsic distribution does exist.Comment: 6 pages,4 figures,1 tables.Data updated. Main conclusion unchange
