Analysis of a model with a common source of CP violation

We work in a model where all CP violating phenomena have a common source. CP is spontaneously broken at a large scale $V$ through the phase of a complex singlet scalar. An additional $SU(2)_L$ singlet vector-like down-type quark relates this high scale CP violation to low energy. We quantitatively analyze this model in the quark sector. We obtain the numerical values of the parameters of the Lagrangian in the quark sector for a specific ansatz of the $4\times4$ down-type quark mass matrix where the weak phase is generated minimally. $Z \bar b b$ vertex will modify in presence of the extra vector-like down-type quark. From the experimental lower bound of the partial decay width $Z\to \bar b b$ we find out the lower bound of the additional down-type quark mass. Tree level flavor changing neutral current appears in this model due to the presence of the extra vector-like down-type quark. We give the range of values of the mass splitting $\Delta m_{B_q}$ in $B^0_q-{\bar B}^0_q$ system using SM box, $Z$ mediating tree level and $Z$ mediating one loop diagrams together for both $q=d, s$. We find out the analytical expression for $\Gamma_{12}^q$ in this model from standard box, $Z$ and Higgs mediated penguin diagrams for $B^0_q-{\bar B}^0_q$ system, $q=d,s$. From this we numerically evaluate the decay width difference $|\Delta\Gamma_{B_q}/\Gamma_{B_q}|$. We also find out the numerical values of the CP asymmetry parameters $a_J$ and $a_\pi$ for the decays $B^0_d\to J/\psi K_s$ and $B^0_d\to \pi^+ \pi^-$ respectively. We get the lower bound of the scale $V$ through the upper bound of the strong CP phase.Comment: 20 pages, no figures New materials and references have been added. Text has been modified.

Ion-acoustic solitary waves and shocks in a collisional dusty negative ion plasma

We study the effects of ion-dust collisions and ion kinematic viscosities on the linear ion-acoustic instability as well as the nonlinear propagation of small amplitude solitary waves and shocks (SWS) in a negative ion plasma with immobile charged dusts. {The existence of two linear ion modes, namely the `fast' and `slow' waves is shown, and their properties are analyzed in the collisional negative ion plasma.} {Using the standard reductive perturbation technique, we derive a modified Korteweg-de Vries-Burger (KdVB) equation which describes the evolution of small amplitude SWS.} {The profiles of the latter are numerically examined with parameters relevant for laboratory and space plasmas where charged dusts may be positively or negatively charged.} It is found that negative ion plasmas containing positively charged dusts support the propagation of SWS with negative potential. However, the perturbations with both positive and negative potentials may exist when dusts are negatively charged. The results may be useful for the excitation of SWS in laboratory negative ion plasmas as well as for observation in space plasmas where charged dusts may be positively or negatively charged.Comment: 13 pages, 9 figures; To appear in Physical Review

Large amplitude solitary waves in ion-beam plasmas with charged dust impurities

The nonlinear propagation of large amplitude dust ion-acoustic (DIA) solitary waves (SWs) in an ion-beam plasma with stationary charged dusts is investigated. For typical plasma parameters relevant for experiments [J. Plasma Phys. \textbf{60}, 69 (1998)], when the beam speed is larger than the DIA speed ($v_{b0}\gtrsim1.7c_s$), three stable waves, namely the "fast" and "slow" ion-beam modes and the plasma DIA wave are shown to exist. These modes can propagate as SWs in the beam plasmas. However, in the other regime ($c_s<v_{b0}<1.7c_s$), one of the beam modes when coupled to the DIA mode may become unstable. The SWs with positive (negative) potential may exist when the difference of the nonlinear wave speed ($M$) and the beam speed is such that $1.2\lesssim M-v_{b0}\lesssim1.6$ ($M-v_{b0}\gtrsim1.6$). Furthermore, for real density perturbations, the wave potential $(>0)$ is found to be limited by a critical value which typically depends on $M$, $v_{b0}$ as well as the ion/beam temperature. The conditions for the existence of DIA solitons are obtained and their properties are analyzed numerically in terms of the system parameters. While the system supports both the compressive and rarefactive large amplitude SWs, the small amplitude solitons exist only of the compressive type. The theoretical results may be useful for observation of soliton excitations in laboratory ion-beam driven plasmas as well as in space plasmas where the charged dusts play as impurities.Comment: 8 pages, 6 figures; Article to appear in Phys.
