Global characteristics of nucleus-nucleus collisions in an ultrarelativistic domain

The global observable distributions of nucleus-nucleus collisions at a high energy are studied. It is shown that these distributions are sensitive to interaction dynamics and can be used to investigate the evolution of dense nuclear matter. On the LHC energy scale ( square root s/sub NN/=5 TeV in the heavy-ion mode), a central bump over the pseudorapidity plateau in jet quenc

Study of the lepton flavor-violating Z′→τμZ'\to\tau\mu decay

The lepton flavor violating $Z^{\prime}\to\tau\mu$ decay is studied in the context of several extended models that predict the existence of the new gauge boson named $Z^\prime$. A calculation of the strength of the lepton flavor violating $Z^\prime\mu\tau$ coupling is presented by using the most general renormalizable Lagrangian that includes lepton flavor violation. We used the experimental value of the muon magnetic dipole moment to bound this coupling, from which the $\mathrm{Re}(\Omega_{L\mu\tau}\Omega^\ast_{R\mu\tau})$ parameter is constrained and it is found that $\mathrm{Re}(\Omega_{L\mu\tau}\Omega^\ast_{R\mu\tau})\sim 10^{-2}$ for a $Z^\prime$ boson mass of 2 TeV. Alongside, we employed the experimental restrictions over the $\tau\to\mu\gamma$ and $\tau\to\mu\mu^+\mu^-$ processes in the context of several models that predict the existence of the $Z^\prime$ gauge boson to bound the mentioned coupling. The most restrictive bounds come from the calculation of the three-body decay. For this case, it was found that the most restrictive result is provided by a vector-like coupling, denoted as $|\Omega_{\mu\tau}|^2$, for the $Z_\chi$ case, finding around $10^{-2}$ for a $Z^\prime$ boson mass of 2 TeV. We used this information to estimate the branching ratio for the $Z^\prime\to\tau\mu$ decay. According to the analyzed models the least optimistic result is provided by the Sequential $Z$ model, which is of the order of $10^{-2}$ for a $Z^\prime$ boson mass around 2 TeV.Comment: Revised versio

Drift of domain walls in a harmonic magnetic field

It is shown that a two-step form of the dynamic magnetization curve (and the hysteresis loop) established for a multiaxial ferrite-garnet wafer with a low quality factor (Q < 1) and considerable anisotropy in the plane (K p /K u = 14) in the frequency range of 25-1000 Hz is explained by the reconstruction of the dynamic domain structure, particularly by the established features of the drift of domain boundaries in the harmonic magnetic field. © 2013 Allerton Press, Inc
