    Dynamically Favored Chiral Symmetry Breakings in Supersymmetric Quantum Chromodynamics

    By the use of an effective superpotential in supersymmetric quantum chromodynamics (SQCD) with N_f flavors and N_c colors of quarks for N_f>=N_c+2, the influence of soft supersymmetry (SUSY) breakings is examined to clarify dynamics of chiral symmetry breakings near the SUSY limit. In case that SQCD triggers spontaneous chiral symmetry breakings, it is possible to show that our superpotential dynamically favors the successive formation of condensates, leaving either SU(N_f-N_c) or SU(N_f-N_c+1) unbroken as a chiral nonabelian symmetry.Comment: 7 pages by RevTeX (with a note added

    Scaling Laws in High-Energy Inverse Compton Scattering

    Based upon the rate equations for the photon distribution function obtained in the previous paper, we study the inverse Compton scattering process for high-energy nonthermal electrons. Assuming the power-law electron distribution, we find a scaling law in the probability distribution function P_1(s), where the peak height and peak position depend only on the power index parameter. We solved the rate equation analytically. It is found that the spectral intensity function also has the scaling law, where the peak height and peak position depend only on the power index parameter. The present study will be particularly important to the analysis of the X-ray and gamma-ray emission models from various astrophysical objects such as radio galaxies and supernova remnants.Comment: 12 pages, 6 figures, accepted by Physical Review D for publicatio
