R-Parity Violating Supersymmetry Explanation for Large t tbar Forward-Backward Asymmetry
We propose a supersymmetric explanation for the anomalously high forward
backward asymmetry in top pair production measured by CDF and D0. We suppose
that it is due to the t-channel exchange of a right-handed sbottom which
couples to d_R and t_R, as is present in the R-parity violating minimal
supersymmetric standard model. We show that all Tevatron and LHC experiments' t
tbar constraints may be respected for a sbottom mass between 300 and 1200 GeV,
and a large Yukawa coupling >2.2, yielding A_{FB} up to 0.18. The non Standard
Model contribution to the LHC charge asymmetry parameter is Delta
A_C^y=0.017-0.045, small enough to be consistent with current measurements but
non-zero and positive, allowing for LHC confirmation in the future within 20
fb^-1. A small additional contribution to the LHC t tbar production
cross-section is also predicted, allowing a further test. We estimate that 10
fb^-1 of LHC luminosity would be sufficient to rule out the proposal to 95%
confidence level, if the measurements of the t tbar cross-section turn out to
be centred on the Standard Model prediction.Comment: 5 pages, 2 figures, v2 has added comments and references and

Investigating the Supersymmetric Explanation of Anomalous CDF lepton(s) photon(s) Missing-E_T Events
The recent excess over the Standard Model prediction in the \mu \gamma
missing-E_T channel reported by CDF can be well-explained by resonant smuon
production with a single dominant R-parity violating coupling \lambda'_{211},
in the context of models where the gravitino is the lightest supersymmetric
particle. The slepton decays to the lightest neutralino and a muon followed by
neutralino decaying to a gravitino and photon. The kinematical distributions
are fitted well by our hypothesis and we use them to constrain the available
parameter space. The model also provides an explanation for the ee\gamma\gamma
missing-E_T event observed in Run I of the Tevatron by the CDF experiment. Our
model predicts an excess of between 5 and 35 events in a \gamma missing-E_T
channel at Run I. We provide predictions for signatures expected by the model
at Run II.Comment: 23 pages, Latex file + 10 figures and 4 Tables (included) Includes

Band structure of W and Mo by empirical pseudopotential method
The empirical pseudopotential method (EPM) is used to calculate the band structure of tungsten and molybdenum. Agreement between the calculated reflectivity, density of states, density of states at the Fermi surface and location of the Fermi surface from this study and experimental measurements and previous calculations is good. Also the charge distribution shows the proper topological distribution of charge for a bcc crystal
Response to sub-threshold stimulus is enhanced by spatially heterogeneous activity
Sub-threshold stimuli cannot initiate excitations in active media, but
surprisingly as we show in this paper, they can alter the time-evolution of
spatially heterogeneous activity by modifying the recovery dynamics. This
results in significant reduction of waveback velocity which may lead to spatial
coherence, terminating all activity in the medium including spatiotemporal
chaos. We analytically derive model-independent conditions for which such
behavior can be observed.Comment: 5 pages, 5 figure
Isospectrality in Chaotic Billiards
We consider a modification of isospectral cavities whereby the classical
dynamics changes from pseudointegrable to chaotic. We construct an example
where we can prove that isospectrality is retained. We then demonstrate this
explicitly in microwave resonators.Comment: 5 pages, 7 figure
NLO-QCD Corrections to Dilepton Production in the Randall-Sundrum Model
The dilepton production process at hadron colliders in the Randall-Sundrum
(RS) model is studied at next-to-leading order in QCD. The NLO-QCD corrections
have been computed for the virtual graviton exchange process in the RS model,
in addition to the usual gamma, Z-mediated processes of standard Drell-Yan.
K-factors for the cross-sections at the LHC and Tevatron for differential in
the invariant mass, Q, and the rapidity, Y, of the lepton pair are presented.
We find the K-factors are large over substantial regions of the phase space.Comment: 24 pages, 12 figure
One-way quantum computing with arbitrarily large time-frequency continuous-variable cluster states from a single optical parametric oscillator
One-way quantum computing is experimentally appealing because it requires
only local measurements on an entangled resource called a cluster state.
Record-size, but non-universal, continuous-variable cluster states were
recently demonstrated separately in the time and frequency domains. We propose
to combine these approaches into a scalable architecture in which a single
optical parametric oscillator and simple interferometer entangle up to
( frequencies) (unlimited number of temporal modes) into
a new and computationally universal continuous-variable cluster state. We
introduce a generalized measurement protocol to enable improved computational
performance on this new entanglement resource.Comment: (v4) Consistent with published version; (v3) Fixed typo in arXiv
