Signatures of Baryogenesis in the MSSM
We revisit the electroweak baryogenesis within the context of the minimal
supersymmetric standard model (MSSM), studying its potential collider
signatures. We find that this mechanism of baryogenesis does not give a new CP
violating signal at the -factories. The first circumstantial evidence may
come from enhanced or mixing. If a light right-handed scalar top
and Higgs are found as required, a linear collider represents the best
possibility for confirming the scenario.Comment: 5 pages, 2 figures. Minor typos fixed. Reference Adde
Generation and Characterization of Functional Human Hypothalamic Neurons.
Neurons in the hypothalamus orchestrate homeostatic physiological processes and behaviors essential for life. Defects in the function of hypothalamic neurons cause a spectrum of human diseases, including obesity, infertility, growth defects, sleep disorders, social disorders, and stress disorders. These diseases have been studied in animal models such as mice, but the rarity and relative inaccessibility of mouse hypothalamic neurons and species-specific differences between mice and humans highlight the need for human cellular models of hypothalamic diseases. We and others have developed methods to differentiate human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) into hypothalamic neurons and related cell types, such as astrocytes. This protocol builds on published studies by providing detailed step-by-step instructions for neuronal differentiation, quality control, long-term neuronal maintenance, and the functional interrogation of hypothalamic cells by calcium imaging. Together, these protocols should enable any group with appropriate facilities to generate and study human hypothalamic cells. © 2017 by John Wiley & Sons, Inc.The work described in this publication was supported by funds from the Wellcome Trust, the Medical Research Council (MR/P501967/1), and the Academy of Medical Sciences (SBF001\1016)
The Magnetic Phase Diagram and the Pressure and Field Dependence of the Fermi Surface in UGe
The ac susceptibility and de Haas-van Alphen (dHvA) effect in UGe are
measured at pressures {\it P} up to 17.7 kbar for the magnetic field {\it B}
parallel to the {\it a} axis, which is the easy axis of magnetization. Two
anomalies are observed at {\it B}({\it P}) and {\it B}({\it P}) ({\it
B} {\it B} at any {\it P}), and the {\it P}-{\it B} phase diagram
is presented. The Fermi surface and quasiparticle mass are found to vary
smoothly with pressure up to 17.7 kbar unless the phase boundary {\it
B}({\it P}) is crossed. The observed dHvA frequencies may be grouped into
three according to their pressure dependences, which are largely positive,
nearly constant or negative. It is suggested that the quasiparticle mass
moderately increases as the boundary {\it B}({\it P}) is approached. DHvA
effect measurements are also performed across the boundary at 16.8 kbar.Comment: to be published in Phys. Rev.
Angle-resolved photoemission study of insulating and metallic Cu-O chains in PrBaCuO and PrBaCuO
We compare the angle-resolved photoemission spectra of the hole-doped Cu-O
chains in PrBaCuO (Pr123) and in PrBaCuO (Pr124).
While, in Pr123, a dispersive feature from the chain takes a band maximum at
(momentum along the chain) and loses its spectral weight
around the Fermi level, it reaches the Fermi level at in
Pr124. Although the chains in Pr123 and Pr124 are approximately 1/4-filled,
they show contrasting behaviors: While the chains in Pr123 have an instability
to charge ordering, those in Pr124 avoid it and show an interesting spectral
feature of a metallic coupled-chain system.Comment: 4 pages, 5 figures, to be published in PR
Muon Spin Relaxation Studies of Magnetic-Field-Induced Effects in High- Superconductors
Muon spin relaxation (SR) measurements in high transverse magnetic
fields () revealed strong field-induced quasi-static
magnetism in the underdoped and Eu doped (La,Sr)CuO and
LaBaCuO, existing well above and . The
susceptibility-counterpart of Cu spin polarization, derived from the muon spin
relaxation rate, exhibits a divergent behavior towards K. No
field-induced magnetism was detected in overdoped
LaSrCuO, optimally doped Bi2212, and Zn-doped
YBaCuO.Comment: 4 pages, 4 color figure
