Dilepton asymmetries at factories in search of transitions
In order to detect the possible presence of
amplitudes in neutral meson decays, we consider the measurement of decay
time asymmetries involving like-sign dilepton events at the factories.Comment: 5 pages, latex, no fig
Current in narrow channels of anisotropic superconductors
We argue that in channels cut out of anisotropic single crystal
superconductors and narrow on the scale of London penetration depth, the
persistent current must cause the transverse phase difference provided the
current does not point in any of the principal crystal directions. The
difference is proportional to the current value and depends on the anisotropy
parameter, on the current direction relative to the crystal, and on the
transverse channel dimension. An experimental set up to measure the transverse
phase is proposed.Comment: 3 pages, 1 figur
Calculation of quasi-degenerate energy levels of two-electron ions
Accurate QED calculations of the interelectron interaction corrections for
the , two-electron configurations for ions
with nuclear charge numbers are performed within the line
profile approach. Total energies of these configurations are evaluated.
Employing the fully relativistic treatment based on the {--} coupling
scheme these energy levels become quasi-degenerate in the region . To
treat such states within the framework of QED we utilize the line profile
approach. The calculations are performed within the Coulomb gauge.Comment: 22 pages, 11 figure
A Short Travel for Neutrinos in Large Extra Dimensions
Neutrino oscillations successfully explain the flavor transitions observed in
neutrinos produced in natural sources like the center of the sun and the earth
atmosphere, and also from man-made sources like reactors and accelerators.
These oscillations are driven by two mass-squared differences, solar and
atmospheric, at the sub-eV scale. However, longstanding anomalies at
short-baselines might imply the existence of new oscillation frequencies at the
eV-scale and the possibility of this sterile state(s) to mix with the three
active neutrinos. One of the many future neutrino programs that are expected to
provide a final word on this issue is the Short-Baseline Neutrino Program (SBN)
at FERMILAB. In this letter, we consider a specific model of Large Extra
Dimensions (LED) which provides interesting signatures of oscillation of extra
sterile states. We started re-creating sensitivity analyses for sterile
neutrinos in the 3+1 scenario, previously done by the SBN collaboration, by
simulating neutrino events in the three SBN detectors from both muon neutrino
disappearance and electron neutrino appearance. Then, we implemented neutrino
oscillations as predicted in the LED model and also we have performed
sensitivity analysis to the LED parameters. Finally, we studied the SBN power
of discriminating between the two models, the 3+1 and the LED. We have found
that SBN is sensitive to the oscillations predicted in the LED model and have
the potential to constrain the LED parameter space better than any other
oscillation experiment, for . In case SBN observes a
departure from the three active neutrino framework, it also has the power of
discriminating between sterile oscillations predicted in the 3+1 framework and
the LED ones.Comment: 21 pages, 6 figures, 2 table
Tensor polarization of deuterons passing through matter
It is shown that the magnitude of tensor polarization of the deuteron beam,
which arises owing to the spin dichroism effect, depends appreciably on the
angular width of the detector that registers the deuterons transmitted through
the target. Even when the angular width of the detector is much smaller than
the mean square angle of multiple Coulomb scattering, the beam's tensor
polarization depends noticeably on rescattering. When the angular width of the
detector is much larger than the mean square angle of multiple Coulomb
scattering (as well as than the characteristic angle of elastic nuclear
scattering), tensor polarization is determined only by the total reaction cross
sections for deuteron-nucleus interaction, and elastic scattering processes
make no contribution to tensor polarization.Comment: 18 pages, 3 figures, to be published in IO
