An Irreducible Massive Superspin One Half Action Built From the Chiral Dotted Spinor Superfield
Although the chiral dotted spinor superfield should describe a Massive
Superspin One Half multiplet, it has not been obvious how to derive this from
an action. In this paper this is done by including a chiral undotted spinor
superfield, finding the BRST transformations that govern both of these, and
then finding the action as an invariant of the transformations. It turns out
that both kinds of spinor superfields are needed. Moreover, the BRST
transformations for the two kinds of chiral spinor superfields are generated
from each other by a special involution that exchanges Grassmann odd (even)
sources with Grassmann even (odd) fields.Comment: 13 page
Some Properties of Chiral Dotted Spinor Superfields
Chiral superfields with multiple dotted Lorentz spinor indices (`dotspinors')
are important in the analysis of supersymmetry breaking through the mechanisms
of Cybersusy. This paper describes the actions for massive dotspinors coupled
to supersymmetric gauge theory and to chiral matter. It analyzes the free
equations of motion and mass spectra for the case of unbroken supersymmetry.
The general form of the Cybersusy algebra for dotsupers with multiple indices
is also discussed briefly.Comment: 20 page
CYBERSUSY: A new mechanism for supersymmetry breaking in models like the supersymmetric standard model (SSM)
The SUSY breaking in Cybersusy is proportional to the VEV that breaks the
gauge symmetry SU(2) X U(1) down to U(1), and it is rather specific to models
like the SSM. Assuming full breaking, as explained below, for the leptons,
Cybersusy predicts a spectrum of SUSY breaking that is in accord with
experimental results so far. In particular, for the choice of parameters below,
Cybersusy predicts that the lowest mass superpartner for the charged leptons is
a charged vector boson lepton (the Velectron), which has a mass of 316 Gev .
The Selectron has a mass of 771 Gev for that choice of parameters. The theory
also leads to a zero cosmological constant after SUSY breaking. The mechanism
generates equations that restrict models like the SSM. This version of this
paper incorporates recent results and changes discovered subsequent to the
talk.Comment: This is a revision of a talk given at SUSY 2009. It incorporates an
important set of changes. 4 page

Gas Phase Hydrolysis and Oxo-Exchange of Actinide Dioxide Cations: Elucidating Intrinsic Chemistry from Protactinium to Einsteinium.
Gas-phase bimolecular reactions of metal cations with water provide insights into intrinsic characteristics of hydrolysis. For the actinide dioxide cations, actinyl(V) AnO2 + , melding of experiment and computation provides insights into trends for hydrolysis, as well as for oxo-exchange between actinyls and water that proceeds by a hydrolysis pathway. Here this line of inquiry is further extended into the actinide series with CCSD(T) computations of potential energy surfaces, for the reaction pathway for oxo-exchange through hydrolysis of nine actinyl(V) ions, from PaO2 + to EsO2 + . The computed surfaces are in accord with previous experimental results for oxo-exchange, and furthermore predict spontaneous exchange for CmO2 + , BkO2 + , CfO2 + and EsO2 + , but not for AmO2 + . Natural Bond Order analysis of the species involved in both hydrolysis and oxo-exchange reveals an inverse correlation between the barrier to hydrolysis and the charge on the actinide centre, q(An). Based on this correlation, it can be concluded that hydrolysis, and related phenomena such as oxo-exchange, become less favourable as the charge on the metal centre decreases. The new results provide a straightforward rationalization of trends across a wide swathe of the actinide series
An Extraordinary Mass Invariant and an Obstruction in a Massive Superspin One Half Model made with a Chiral Dotted Spinor Superfield
An earlier paper introduced an action for a new kind of irreducible massive
superspin one half multiplet, using BRST cohomological techniques including
`BRST Recycling'. A mass term was introduced in the earlier paper. A second
mass term is discussed in this paper. This new mass invariant is an
`Extraordinary Invariant'--it has Zinn sources in it. The natural treatment for
this situation is to `Complete the Action' so that the new action yields zero
for the BRST Poisson Bracket. In the present case, this Completion meets a BRST
Obstruction. Setting the coefficient of this `Completion Obstruction' to zero
restores the massive superspin one half supermultiplet with a new mass made
from the two mass terms. Usually an Obstruction appears as an Anomaly at one
loop perturbation theory, but this is a different mechanism to produce it.Comment: 18 pages,reference brought up to dat
