SET based experiments for HTSC materials: II
The cuprates seem to exhibit statistics, dimensionality and phase transitions
in novel ways. The nature of excitations
[i.e. quasiparticle or collective], spin-charge separation, stripes [static
and dynamics], inhomogeneities, psuedogap, effect of impurity dopings [e.g. Zn,
Ni] and any other phenomenon in these materials must be consistently
understood. In this note we further discuss our original suggestion of using
Single Electron Tunneling Transistor
[SET] based experiments to understand the role of charge dynamics in these
systems. Assuming that SET operates as an efficient charge detection system we
can expect to understand the underlying physics of charge transport and charge
fluctuations in these materials for a range of doping. Experiments such as
these can be classed in a general sense as mesoscopic and nano characterization
of cuprates and related materials. In principle such experiments can show if
electron is fractionalized in cuprates as indicated by ARPES data. In contrast
to flux trapping experiments SET based experiments are more direct in providing
evidence about spin-charge separation. In addition a detailed picture of nano
charge dynamics in cuprates may be obtained.Comment: 10 pages revtex plus four figures; ICMAT 2001 Conference Symposium P:

Search for lepton flavor violation via the intense high-energy muon beam
A deep inerastic scattering process \mutau is discussed to study lepton
flavor violation between muons and tau leptons. In supersymmetric models, the
Higgs boson mediated diagrams could be important for this reaction. We find
that at a muon energy () higher than 50 GeV, the predicted cross
section significantly increases due to the contribution from sea -quarks.
The number of produced tau leptons can be at = 300
GeV from muons, whereas events are given at
GeV.Comment: Contribution to the 6th International Workshop on Neutrino Factories

Recent QCD studies at the Tevatron
Since the beginning of Run II at the Fermilab Tevatron, the QCD physics groups of the CDF and D0 Collaborations have worked to reach unprecendented levels of precision for many QCD observables. This note summarizes important recent measurements with dataset corresponding to up to 8 fb−1 of total integrated luminosity

Obstructing mucocele of the cystic duct after transplantation of the liver
A tension mucocele was created in three hepatic homografts by ligating a low-lying cystic duct during transplant cholecystectomy and by incorporating its outflow end into the anastomosis of the common hepatic duct to the recipient common duct or Roux limb of jejunum. The consequent complication of obstruction of the biliary tract that necessitated reoperation and excision of the mucocele in all three patients can be avoided by the simple expedient of completely removing the cystic duct when feasible or providing egress to the secretion of the cystic duct as described
The Anomalous Magnetic Moment of the Muon and Higgs-Mediated Flavor Changing Neutral Currents
In the two-Higgs doublet extension of the standard model, flavor-changing
neutral couplings arise naturally. In the lepton sector, the largest such
coupling is expected to be $\mu-\tau-\phi#. We consider the effects of this
coupling on the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon. The resulting bound on
the coupling, unlike previous bounds, is independent of the value of other
unknown couplings. It will be significantly improved by the upcoming E821
experiment at Brookhaven National Lab.Comment: 7 pages Latex, 2 figure
