Temporal signatures of the Cherenkov light induced by extensive air showers of cosmic rays detected with the Yakutsk array

We analyze temporal characteristics of signals from the wide field-of-view (WFOV) Cherenkov telescope (CT) detecting extensive air showers (EAS) of cosmic rays (CR) in coincidence with surface detectors of the Yakutsk array. Our aim is to reveal causal relationships between measured characteristics and physical properties of EAS.Comment: Preprint of an article submitted for consideration in IJMPD \c{opyright} 2016 [copyright World Scientific Publishing Company] http://www.worldscientific.com/worldscinet/ijmp

Magnetic relaxation of superconducting YBCO samples in weak magnetic fields

For the first time, magnetization of high-Tc samples with different crystalline structure and its isothermal relaxation is studied at very weak constant fields (H <= 0.1 Oe) for temperatures close to the critical ones. Essential influence of twin boundaries in YBCO single crystals on magnetic relaxation rate is shown. An estimation of effective pinning potential is made in the framework of the collective pinning model.Comment: 6 pages, 2 figures; full version has been submitted to 'Low Temperature Physics' (Fizika Nizkikh Temperatur

The surface density of holographic entropy

On the basis of postulates for the holographic description of gravity and the introduction of entropic force, for static sources we derive the universal law: the entropy of a holographic screen is equal to quarter of its area in the Planck system of units.Comment: 6 page

Natural scale of cosmological constant in seesaw mechanism with broken SUSY

The cosmological constant is inherently determined by the scale of breaking down supersymmetry in the mechanism of seesaw fluctuations of two vacuum-states.Comment: 4 pages, revtex4 class, reference adde

Properties of potential modelling three benchmarks: the cosmological constant, inflation and three generations

We argue for a model of low-energy correction to the inflationary potential as caused by the gauge-mediated breaking down the supersymmetry at the scale of \mu_\textsc{x}\sim 10^4 GeV, that provides us with the seesaw mechanism of thin domain wall fluctuations in the flat vacuum. The fluctuations are responsible for the vacuum with the cosmological constant at the scale of $\mu_\Lambda\sim 10^{-2}$ eV suppressed by the Planckian mass $m_\mathtt{Pl}$ via \mu_\Lambda\sim\mu_\textsc{x}^2/m_\mathtt{Pl}. The appropriate vacuum state is occupied after the inflation with quartic coupling constant \lambda\sim\mu_\textsc{x}/m_\mathtt{Pl}\sim 10^{-14} inherently related with the bare mass scale of \widetilde m\sim\sqrt{\mu_\textsc{x}m_\mathtt{Pl}}\sim 10^{12} GeV determining the thickness of domain walls $\delta r\sim1/\widetilde m$. Such the parameters of potential are still marginally consistent with the observed inhomogeneity of matter density in the Universe. The inflationary evolution suggests the vacuum structure compatible with three fermionic generations of matter as well as with observed hierarchies of masses and mixing in the Standard Model.Comment: 12 pages, 1 figure, revtex4 class, references adde

Renormalization group analysis of cosmological constraint on the mass of Higgs scalar

The Higgs boson of Standard Model, minimally coupled to the gravitation, is not able to produce the inflation of early Universe if its mass exceeds the threshold value, which is equal to m_H^{min} = 142 GeV in the tree approximation for the scalar potential. Two-loop corrections modify the estimate as m_H^{min} = 150 \pm 3 GeV, so that higher-order corrections of perturbation theory are completely under control, though they are numerically important in respect of experimental searches.Comment: 6 page

Possible Josephson-like behavior of the YBa2Cu3O7-x single crystal twin boundaries in low magnetic fields

The experimental results on the magnetic response of YBCO single crystals with unidirectional twin boundary planes in low magnetic fields (0.01 - 1 Oe) are discussed. The observed non-monotone temperature dependence of magnetization is interpreted within a plausible model of a system of the Josephson weak links in the twin boundary planes and on the basis of the order parameter anisotropy.Comment: 4 pages, 2 figures, the full version will be published in Low Temperature Physics (2004

Compensation of Dipolar-Exciton Spin Splitting in Magnetic Field

Magnetoluminescence of spatially indirect dipolar excitons collected in 25 nm GaAs/AlGaAs single quantum well within a lateral potential trap has been studied in perpendicular magnetic field in Faraday geometry. The paramagnetic spin splitting of the luminescence line of the heavy-hole excitons in the trap centre is completely compensated at magnetic fields below critical value, around 2 Tesla. The effect of spin-splitting compensation is caused by the exchange interaction in dense exciton Bose gas which is in qualitative agreement with the existing theoretical concepts. In the range of low magnetic fields, less than 1.5 Tesla, an unusually large blue shift, upto 3 meV, is observed, which is related to in-plane electric field component present in nonhomogeneous electrostatic field of the trap.Comment: 9 pages, 3 figure

The holographic screen at low temperatures

A permissible spectrum of transverse vibrations for the holographic screen modifies both a distribution of thermal energy over bits at low temperatures and the law of gravitation at small accelerations of free fall in agreement with observations of flat rotation curves in spiral galaxies. This modification relates holographic screen parameters in de Sitter space-time with the Milgrom acceleration in MOND.Comment: 7 pages, 1 figur

Decoupling of Higgs boson from the inflationary stage of Universe evolution

The constraint on the mass of Higgs field in the Standard Model at the minimal interaction with the gravity is derived in the form of lower bound $m_H> 150$ GeV by the strict requirement of decoupling the Higgs boson from the inflation of early Universe: the inflation produced by the Higgs scalar could crucially destroy visible properties of large scale structure of Universe, while the large mass makes the Higgs particle not able to produce the inflation and shifts its cosmological role into the region of quantum gravity.Comment: 6 pages, svjour class, comments and reference adde
