    CP Violation in Heavy Neutrino Mediated e−e−→W−W−e^- e^- \to W^- W^-

    Get PDF
    We consider the reaction e−e−→W−W−e^- e^- \rightarrow W^- W^- mediated by possible heavy neutrino exchange at future LINAC energies of s>>2mW\sqrt{s}>> 2 m_W. This reaction is sensitive to CP phases of the neutrino mixing matrices, even at the level of Born amplitudes. Certain integrated cross-sections are shown to have the power to resolve the CP phases when the experimental configurations are varied. Asymmetries sensitive to CP violation (involving initial QED phases) for e−e−e^- e^- and e+e+e^+ e^+ reactions are constructed and their consequences considered.Comment: 9 pages plain Latex and 4 figures available separately as uuencoded figure

    On the Spontaneous Identity of Chiral and Super Symmetry Breaking in Pure Super Yang Mills Theories

    Full text link
    We show that in supersymmetric pure Yang Mills theories with arbitrary simple gauge group, the spontaneous breaking of chiral fermionic and bosonic charge by the associated gaugino and gauge boson condensates implies the spontaneous breaking of supersymmetry by the condensate of the underlying Lagrangian density. The explicit breaking of the restricted fermionic charge through the chiral anomaly is deferred to a secondary stage in the elimination of infrared singularities or long range forces.Comment: 14 pages, uses amsmath, amssymb, shorter version, references added, eq.

    Absorption of solar radiation by solar neutrinos

    Full text link
    We calculate the absorption probability of photons radiated from the surface of the Sun by a left-handed neutrino with definite mass and a typical momentum for which we choose |p_1|=0.2 MeV, producing a heavier right-handed antineutrino. Considering two transitions the \nu_1 -> \nu_2 and \nu_2 -> \nu_3 we obtain two oscillation lengths L_{12}=4960.8 m, L_{23}=198.4 m, two absorption probabilities P_{12}^{abs.}=2.5 10^{-67}, P_{23}^{abs.}=1.2 10^{-58} and the two absorption ranges R_{12}^{abs.}=4.47 10^4 R_{\odot}=208.0 au, R_{23}^{abs.}=0.89 10^4 R_{\odot}=41.4 au, using a neutrino mass differences of \sqrt{|\Delta m^2_{12}|}=10 meV, \sqrt{|\Delta m^2_{23}|}=50 meV and associated transition dipole moments. We collect all necessary theoretical ingredients, i.e. neutrino mass and mixing scheme, induced electromagnetic transition dipole moments, quadratic charged lepton mass asymmetries and their interdependence.Comment: 5 pages, 3 figures, typos corrected and reference added, version to appear in Eur.

    Note on the Mass Square of the Eta' Meson

    Get PDF
    We propose to use as a mathematical tool to study the mass square of the etaprime meson an infinitely heavy supplementary quark flavor Q. This is understood in the framework of QCD with one light quark flavor (or n_fl light flavors) and the gauge group SU3 colour (or SUN colour). The full system thus consists of n_fl + 1 flavors, including the infinitely heavy one. The purpose of this note is to show how the heavy flavor can be made to represent the anomalies of the subtheory describing the remnant physical degrees of freedom. In the large N_c limit the mass square of etaprime tends to a finite limit. The essential deviations from (semi) perturbative derivations are related to simple properties of the 'heavy' flavor.Comment: 8 page

    B decays into light scalar particles and glueball

    Full text link
    The recent observations of f_0(980) in charmless B-decays motivate further studies of scalar particle and glueball production in these processes. Amplitudes for charmless 2-body B decays involving the members of the scalar nonet are presented based on the symmetries of the dominant penguin contribution. Different scenarios for the lightest scalar nonet are investigated in view of the presently available data. We describe the evidence from B-decays for f_0(1500) with a flavour octet like mixing and the hints towards the members of the q qbar nonet of lowest mass. There is further support for the hypothesis of a broad 0^{++} glueball acting as coherent background especially in B -> K Kbar K. The estimated B decay rates into gluonic mesons represent a sizable fraction of the theoretically derived decay rate for b -> sg.Comment: 34 pages, 5 figures, 8 tables, version to appear in Eur.Phys.J.C., with some clarifications in the text, additional refs. and several overall signs in Tab.2,3 adde
