Dirac and Majorana heavy neutrinos at LEP II
The possibility of detecting single heavy Dirac and Majorana neutrinos at LEP
II is investigated for heavy neutrino masses in the range . We study the process as a clear signature for heavy neutrinos. Numerical estimates for
cross sections and distributions for the signal and the background are
calculated and a Monte Carlo reconstruction of final state particles after
hadronization is presented.Comment: 4 pages, 8 figure
Discriminating among the theoretical origins of new heavy Majorana neutrinos at the CERN LHC
A study on the possibility of distinguishing new heavy Majorana neutrino
models at LHC energies is presented. The experimental confirmation of standard
neutrinos with non-zero mass and the theoretical possibility of lepton number
violation find a natural explanation when new heavy Majorana neutrinos exist.
These new neutrinos appear in models with new right-handed singlets, in new
doublets of some grand unified theories and left-right symmetrical models. It
is expected that signals of new particles can be found at the CERN high-energy
hadron collider (LHC). We present signatures and distributions that can
indicate the theoretical origin of these new particles. The single and pair
production of heavy Majorana neutrinos are calculated and the model dependence
is discussed. Same-sign dileptons in the final state provide a clear signal for
the Majorana nature of heavy neutrinos, since there is lepton number violation.
Mass bounds on heavy Majorana neutrinos allowing model discrimination are
estimated for three different LHC luminosities.Comment: 7 pages, 5 figure
On a signature at next high energy electron-positron colliders
The associated production of a and a final hard photon in high
energy electron-positron colliders is studied. It is shown that the hard photon
spectrum contains useful information on the properties. This
remark suggests that, if a new neutral gauge boson exists for , it will not be necessary to make a new energy run at the
mass in order to get most of its properties.Comment: 10 pages and 7 figure
The Mitragyna speciosa (Kratom) Genome: a resource for data-mining potent pharmaceuticals that impact human health
Mitragyna speciosa (kratom) produces numerous compounds with pharmaceutical properties including the production of bioactive monoterpene indole and oxindole alkaloids. Using a linked-read approach, a 1,122,519,462 bp draft assembly of M. speciosa “Rifat” was generated with an N50 scaffold size of 1,020,971 bp and an N50 contig size of 70,448 bp that encodes 55,746 genes. Chromosome counting revealed that “Rifat” is a tetraploid with a base chromosome number of 11, which was further corroborated by orthology and syntenic analysis of the genome. Analysis of genes and clusters involved in specialized metabolism revealed genes putatively involved in alkaloid biosynthesis. Access to the genome of M. speciosa will facilitate an improved understanding of alkaloid biosynthesis and accelerate the production of bioactive alkaloids in heterologous hosts
