Has the anomalous single production of the fourth SM family quarks decaying into light Higgs boson been observed by CDF?

Superjet events observed by the CDF Collaboration are interpreted as anomalous single production of the fourth SM family u_4 quark, decaying into a new light scalar particle. The specific predictions of the proposed mechanism are discussed.Comment: 5 pages, 1 tabl

With four Standard Model families, the LHC could discover the Higgs boson with a few fb^-1

The existence of a 4th SM family would produce a large enhancement of the gluon fusion channel of Higgs boson production at hadron colliders. In this case, the SM Higgs boson could be seen at the CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC) via the golden mode (H->4l) with an integral luminosity of only a few fb^-1.Comment: 7 pages, 2 figures, 2 tables, references updated in v

Anomalous single production of the fourth SM family quarks at Tevatron

Possible single productions of fourth family u_{4} and d_{4} quarks via anomalous q_{4}qV interactions at Tevatron are studied. Signature of such processes are discussed and compared with the recent results from Tevatron.Comment: 6 pages, 1 figure, 4 table

Fourth Generation Pseudoscalar Quarkonium Production and Observability at Hadron Colliders

The pseudoscalar quarkonium state, eta_4 1^S_0, formed by the Standard Model (SM) fourth generation quarks, is the best candidate among the fourth generation quarkonia to be produced at the LHC and VLHC. The production of this J^{PC} = 0^{-+} resonance is discussed and the background processes are studied to obtain the integrated luminosity limits for the discovery, depending on its mass.Comment: 13 pages, 4 figures, 5 table

A search for the fourth SM family quarks at Tevatron

It is shown that the fourth standard model (SM) family quarks can be observed at the Fermilab Tevatron if their anomalous interactions with known quarks have sufficient strength.Comment: 7 pages, 2 tables, 4 figure

Turkish Comments on "Future Perspectives in HEP"

These comments were prepared during the ICFA Seminar on "Future Persrectives in High Energy Physics" held at CERN (8-11 October 2002) and partially presented at the Panel and General Discussion on Interregional Collaboration for Future Facilities (10 October). Comments include arguments favoring the existence of the fourth SM family and new level of compositness. Then, the possible role of the linac-ring type colliders for future HEP research is discussed emphasizing TeV scale lepton-hadron and photon-hadron colliders. This preprint presents prepared transparencies and some illuminating remarks with corresponding references

Droplet motion driven by surface freezing or melting: A mesoscopic hydrodynamic approach

A fluid droplet may exhibit self-propelled motion by modifying the wetting properties of the substrate. We propose a novel model for droplet propagation upon a terraced landscape of ordered layers formed as a result of surface freezing driven by the contact angle dependence on the terrace thickness. Simultaneous melting or freezing of the terrace edge results in a joint droplet-terrace motion. The model is tested numerically and compared to experimental observations on long-chain alkane system in the vicinity of the surface melting point.Comment: 4 pages, 3 figure
