Effect of Anomalous Couplings on the Associated Production of a Single Top Quark and a Higgs Boson at the LHC
We consider the production of a single top quark in association with a Higgs
boson at the LHC. In particular, we compute the cross sections for the
processes , , , , , ,
in the presence of the anomalous and couplings. We
find that the anomalous and couplings can enhance the cross
sections significantly. We also analyze a few signatures and show that, if
these couplings are indeed anomalous, then with enough data, one should be able
to observe the production of the Higgs boson in association with single top
quark.Comment: 15 pages, 4 figures, 5 tables. Typos fixed, reference added. Journal

Probing the field-induced variation of the chemical potential in Bi(2)Sr(2)CaCu(2)O(y) via the magneto-thermopower measurements
Approximating the shape of the measured in
magneto-thermopower (TEP) by asymmetric linear triangle of the
form with positive and defined below and above , we observe that . In order to account for this asymmetry, we
explicitly introduce the field-dependent chemical potential of holes
into the Ginzburg-Landau theory and calculate both an average and fluctuation contributions to the total
magneto-TEP . As a result, we find a rather simple relationship
between the field-induced variation of the chemical potential in this material
and the above-mentioned magneto-TEP data around , viz. .Comment: REVTEX (epsf), 4 pages, 2 PS figures; to be published in JET
Degree and neighborhood conditions for hamiltonicity of claw-free graphs
For a graph H , let σ t ( H ) = min { Σ i = 1 t d H ( v i ) | { v 1 , v 2 , … , v t } is an independent set in H } and let U t ( H ) = min { | ⋃ i = 1 t N H ( v i ) | | { v 1 , v 2 , ⋯ , v t } is an independent set in H } . We show that for a given number ϵ and given integers p ≥ t \u3e 0 , k ∈ { 2 , 3 } and N = N ( p , ϵ ) , if H is a k -connected claw-free graph of order n \u3e N with δ ( H ) ≥ 3 and its Ryjác̆ek’s closure c l ( H ) = L ( G ) , and if d t ( H ) ≥ t ( n + ϵ ) ∕ p where d t ( H ) ∈ { σ t ( H ) , U t ( H ) } , then either H is Hamiltonian or G , the preimage of L ( G ) , can be contracted to a k -edge-connected K 3 -free graph of order at most max { 4 p − 5 , 2 p + 1 } and without spanning closed trails. As applications, we prove the following for such graphs H of order n with n sufficiently large:
(i) If k = 2 , δ ( H ) ≥ 3 , and for a given t ( 1 ≤ t ≤ 4 ), then either H is Hamiltonian or c l ( H ) = L ( G ) where G is a graph obtained from K 2 , 3 by replacing each of the degree 2 vertices by a K 1 , s ( s ≥ 1 ). When t = 4 and d t ( H ) = σ 4 ( H ) , this proves a conjecture in Frydrych (2001).
(ii) If k = 3 , δ ( H ) ≥ 24 , and for a given t ( 1 ≤ t ≤ 10 ) d t ( H ) \u3e t ( n + 5 ) 10 , then H is Hamiltonian. These bounds on d t ( H ) in (i) and (ii) are sharp. It unifies and improves several prior results on conditions involved σ t and U t for the hamiltonicity of claw-free graphs. Since the number of graphs of orders at most max { 4 p − 5 , 2 p + 1 } are fixed for given p , improvements to (i) or (ii) by increasing the value of p are possible with the help of a computer
Translation Representations and Scattering By Two Intervals
Studying unitary one-parameter groups in Hilbert space (U(t),H), we show that
a model for obstacle scattering can be built, up to unitary equivalence, with
the use of translation representations for L2-functions in the complement of
two finite and disjoint intervals.
The model encompasses a family of systems (U (t), H). For each, we obtain a
detailed spectral representation, and we compute the scattering operator, and
scattering matrix. We illustrate our results in the Lax-Phillips model where (U
(t), H) represents an acoustic wave equation in an exterior domain; and in
quantum tunneling for dynamics of quantum states
Spin-liquid model of the sharp resistivity drop in
We use the phenomenological model proposed in our previous paper [Phys. Rev.
Lett. {\bf 98}, 237001 (2007)] to analyse the magnetic field dependence of the
onset temperature for two-dimensional fluctuating superconductivity . We demonstrate that the slope of progressively goes down as
increases, such that the upper critical field progressively increases as
decreases. The quantitative agreement with the recent measurements of
in is achieved for the same parameter
value as was derived in our previous publication from the analysis of the
electron self energy.Comment: 4 pages, 2 figure
Lab-frame observables for probing the top-Higgs interaction
We investigate methods to explore the CP nature of the coupling
at the LHC, focusing on associated production of the Higgs with a
pair. We first discuss the constraints implied by low-energy observables and by
the Higgs-rate information from available LHC data, emphasizing that they
cannot provide conclusive evidence on the nature of this coupling. We then
investigate kinematic observables that could probe the coupling
directly, in particular quantities that can be constructed out of just
lab-frame kinematics. We define one such observable by exploiting the fact that
spin correlations do also carry information about the CP-nature of
the coupling. Finally, we introduce a CP-odd quantity and a
related asymmetry, able to probe CP violation in the coupling and
likewise constructed out of lab-frame momenta only.Comment: 32 pages, updated with latest data from ATLAS and references adde
