The LSND Experiment and the Zee Model

A recent experiment LSND at Los Alamos has provided\cite{1} an indication of $\overline{\nu}_{\mu} - \overline{\nu}_e$ oscillations with $\Delta m^2$ of order 1ev$^2$ or greater and $\sin^2 2 \theta_{e \mu}$ between $2 \times 10^{-3}$ and $10^{2}$. Such a value of $\Delta m^2$ for $\nu_{\mu} - \nu_e$ oscillations was not expected in the standard see-saw model\cite{2} suggested by SO(10) with a large mass hierarchy because it leads to too large a value of $m(\nu_{\tau})$ to fit cosmological constraints. Furthermore within that model the LSND result is inconsistent with the indications of oscillations from both atmospheric neutrinos\cite{3} and solar neutrinos.\cite{4}Comment: 3 pages, latex, no figure

Strong Phases in the Decays B to pi pi

Two sources of strong phases in the decays $B$ to $\pi\pi$ are identified: (1) "quasi-elastic scattering" corresponding to intermediate states like $\pi\pi$ and $\rho\rho$, (2) ``$c\bar{c}$'' corresponding to intermediate states like $D\bar{D}$ and $D^{*}\bar{D}^{*}$. Possibilities of using data to identify these two sources are discussed and illustrated. Present data suggests both sources may be significant.Comment: 6 pages, 1 figure

CP Violation in D0−D0‾D^0-\overline{D^0}Mixing

The existence of $D^0-\overline{D^0}$ mixing at a detectable level requires new physics, which effectively yields a $\Delta c = 2$ superweak interaction. In general this interaction may involve significant CP violation. For small values of the mixing it may be much easier to detect the CP-violating part of the mixing than the CP-conserving part.Comment: 3 pages, latex, no figure
