The Family SU(2)_l x SU(2)_h x U(1) Model
We consider extension of the standard model where the first two families of quarks and leptons transform according to
the group and the third family according to the group. In
this approach, the largeness of top-quark mass is associated with the large
vacuum expectation value of the corresponding Higgs field. The model predicts
almost degenerate heavy and bosons with non-universal couplings, and
extra Higgs bosons. We present in detail the symmetry breaking mechanism, and
carry out the subsequent phenomenology of the gauge sector. We compare the
model with electroweak precision data, and conclude that the extra gauge bosons
and the Higgs bosons whose masses lie in the TeV range, can be discovered at
the LHC.Comment: Latex 18 pages. No figure. Some references added. Version appeared in

Improved Simulation of the Mass Charging for ASTROD I
The electrostatic charging of the test mass in ASTROD I (Astrodynamical Space
Test of Relativity using Optical Devices I) mission can affect the quality of
the science data as a result of spurious Coulomb and Lorentz forces. To
estimate the size of the resultant disturbances, credible predictions of
charging rates and the charging noise are required. Using the GEANT4 software
toolkit, we present a detailed Monte Carlo simulation of the ASTROD I test mass
charging due to exposure of the spacecraft to galactic cosmic-ray (GCR) protons
and alpha particles (3He, 4He) in the space environment. A positive charging
rate of 33.3 e+/s at solar minimum is obtained. This figure reduces by 50% at
solar maximum. Based on this charging rate and factoring in the contribution of
minor cosmic-ray components, we calculate the acceleration noise and stiffness
associated with charging. We conclude that the acceleration noise arising from
Coulomb and Lorentz effects are well below the ASTROD I acceleration noise
limit at 0.1 mHz both at solar minimum and maximum. The coherent Fourier
components due to charging are investigated, it needs to be studied carefully
in order to ensure that these do not compromise the quality of science data in
the ASTROD I mission.Comment: 20 pages, 14 figures, submitted to International Journal of Modern

Time Synchronized Near-Field and Far-Field for EMI Source Identification
The evaluation of a product in terms of radiated emissions involves identifying the noise sources. Spectrum analyzer (SA) measurements alone are unable to identify noise sources when multiple sources are responsible for emissions at a particular frequency. In this paper, an approach using combined near-field and far-field measurements is proposed. This method consists of recording signals from a near field probe and from an antenna in the far-field using a high speed oscilloscope and analyzing the relationship between them via different post processing methods. The noise source can be identified by varying the location of near-field probe and searching for the probe signal that best correlates to the far field signal. A variety of post processing methods have been employed in this work. The Short Term Fast Fourier Transform (STFFT) is used to visualize the time dependence of the frequency content. Envelope correlation, coherence factor, and cross-correlation methods are further explained and tested for their ability to identify possible sources of emission problems
Electric Current Focusing Efficiency in Graphene Electric Lens
In present work, we theoretically study the electron wave's focusing
phenomenon in a single layered graphene pn junction(PNJ) and obtain the
electric current density distribution of graphene PNJ, which is in good
agreement with the qualitative result in previous numerical calculations
[Science, 315, 1252 (2007)]. In addition, we find that for symmetric PNJ, 1/4
of total electric current radiated from source electrode can be collected by
drain electrode. Furthermore, this ratio reduces to 3/16 in a symmetric
graphene npn junction. Our results obtained by present analytical method
provide a general design rule for electric lens based on negative refractory
index systems.Comment: 13 pages, 7 figure
Direct CP Violation in Angular Distribution of Decays
We show that the study of certain observables in the angular distribution in
provide clear test for CP vioaltion beyond the Standard
Model. These observables vanish in SM, but in models beyond SM some of them can
be large enough to be measured at B factories.Comment: 7 pages, Revte
Comparison of the Geometrical Characters Inside Quark- and Gluon-jet Produced by Different Flavor Quarks
The characters of the angular distributions of quark jets and gluon jets with
different flavors are carefully studied after introducing the cone angle of
jets. The quark jets and gluon jets are identified from the 3-jet events which
are produced by Monte Carlo simulation Jetset7.4 in e+e- collisions at =91.2GeV. It turns out that the ranges of angular distributions of gluon jets
are obviously wider than that of quark jets at the same energies. The average
cone angles of gluon jets are much larger than that of quark jets. As the
multiplicity or the transverse momentum increases, the cone-angle distribution
without momentum weight of both the quark jet and gluon jet all increases, i.e
the positive linear correlation are present, but the cone-angle distribution
with momentum weight decreases at first, then increases when n > 4 or p_t > 2
GeV. The characters of cone angular distributions of gluon jets produced by
quarks with different flavors are the same, while there are obvious differences
for that of the quark jets with different flavors.Comment: 13 pages, 6 figures, to be published on the International Journal of
