The study of the charged top-pion decay processes
In the framework of top-color assisted technicolor(TC2) theory, we study the
four decay processes of charged top-pion, i.e.,
, , , , the decay branching ratio of these
modes are calculated. The results show that the main decay channels of charged
top-pion are the tree level modes: and . Light is easier to be detected than heavy one at future
coliders. So, the study provides us some useful information to search for
charged top-pion.Comment: 14 pages, 6 figure
Primordial Non-Gaussianity from LAMOST Surveys
The primordial non-Gaussianity (PNG) in matter density perturbation is a very
powerful probe of the physics of the very early Universe. The local PNG can
induce a distinct scale-dependent bias on the large scale structure
distribution of galaxies and quasars, which could be used for constraining it.
We study the detection limits on PNG from the surveys of the LAMOST telescope.
The cases of the main galaxy survey, the luminous red galaxy (LRG) survey, and
the quasar survey of different magnitude limits are considered. We find that
the MAIN1 sample (i.e. the main galaxy survey with one magnitude deeper than
the SDSS main galaxy survey, or r<18.8) could only provide very weak constraint
on PNG. For the MAIN2 sample (r<19.8) and the LRG survey, the 2\sigma (95.5%)
limit on the PNG parameter f_{NL} are |f_{NL}|<145 and |f_{NL}|<114
respectively, comparable to the current limit from cosmic microwave background
(CMB) data. The quasar survey could provide much more stringent constraint, and
we find that the 2\sigma limit for |f_{NL}| is between 50 and 103, depending on
the magnitude limit of the survey. With Planck-like priors on cosmological
parameters, the quasar survey with g<21.65 would improve the constraints to
|f_{NL}|<43 (2\sigma). We also discuss the possibility of further tightening
the constraint by using the relative bias method proposed by Seljak(2008).Comment: 8 pages, 2 figures, RAA accepte
Coherent Radio Emission from a Twisted Magnetosphere after a Magnetar-quake
Magnetars are a class of highly magnetized, slowly rotating neutron stars, only a small fraction of which exhibit radio emission. We propose that the coherent radio curvature emission is generated by net charge fluctuations from a twist-current-carrying bundle (the j-bundle) in the scenario of magnetar-quake. Two-photon pair production is triggered, which requires a threshold voltage not too much higher than 109 V in the current-carrying bundle, and which can be regarded as the open field lines of a magnetar. Continued untwisting of the magnetosphere maintains change fluctuations, and hence coherent radio emission, in the progressively shrinking j-bundle, which lasts for years until the radio beam is too small to be detected. The modeled peak flux of radio emission and the flat spectrum are generally consistent with the observations. We show that this time-dependent, conal-beam, radiative model can interpret the variable radio pulsation behaviors and the evolution of the X-ray hot spot of the radio-transient magnetar XTE J1810−197 and the high-B pulsar/anomalous X-ray pulsar PSR J1622−4950. Radio emission with luminosity of and high-frequency oscillations are expected to be detected for a magnetar after an X-ray outburst. Differences of radio emission between magnetars and ordinary pulsars are discussed
