Systematic limits on sin^2{2theta_{13}} in neutrino oscillation experiments with multi-reactors
Sensitivities to sin^2{2theta_{13}} without statistical errors (``systematic
limit'') are investigated in neutrino oscillation experiments with multiple
reactors. Using an analytical approach, we show that the systematic limit on
sin^2{2theta_{13}} is dominated by the uncorrelated systematic error sigma_u of
the detector. Even in an experiment with multi-detectors and multi-reactors, it
turns out that most of the systematic errors including the one due to the
nature of multiple sources is canceled as in the case with a single reactor
plus two detectors, if the near detectors are placed suitably. The case of the
KASKA plan (7 reactors and 3 detectors) is investigated in detail, and it is
explicitly shown that it does not suffer from the extra uncertainty due to
multiple reactors.Comment: 26 pages, 10 eps-files, revtex
Spectrum of Eleven-dimensional Supergravity on a PP-wave Background
We calculate the spectrum of the linearized supergravity around the maximally
supersymmetric pp-wave background in eleven dimensions. The resulting spectrum
agrees with that of zero-mode Hamiltonian of a supermembrane theory on the
pp-wave background. We also discuss the connection with the Kaluza-Klein zero
modes of AdS_4 x S^7 background.Comment: 17 pages, no figures, LaTeX2e, typos correcte
Reactor Measurement of and Its Complementarity to Long-Baseline Experiments
A possibility to measure using reactor neutrinos is
examined in detail. It is shown that the sensitivity
can be reached with 20 ton-year data by placing identical CHOOZ-like detectors
at near and far distances from a giant nuclear power plant whose total thermal
energy is 24.3 . It is emphasized that this
measurement is free from the parameter degeneracies which occur in accelerator
appearance experiments, and therefore the reactor measurement plays a role
complementary to accelerator experiments. It is also shown that the reactor
measurement may be able to resolve the degeneracy in if
and are relatively large.Comment: 25 pages, 8 figures, uses revtex4 and graphicx. Several modifications
added to make the text easier to understand. Two more figures added. To be

Magnetic Order in the 2D Heavy-Fermion System CePt2In7 studied by muSR
The low-temperature microscopic magnetic properties of the quasi-2D
heavyfermion compound, CePt2In7 are investigated by using a positive muon-spin
rotation and relaxation (?muSR) technique. Clear evidence for the formation of
a commensurate antiferromagnetic order below TN=5.40 K is presented. The
magnetic order parameter is shown to fit well to a modified BSC gap-energy
function in a strong-coupling scenario.Comment: Accepted in Journal of Physics: Conference Series (2014
Numerical Analyses of Weakly Nonlinear Velocity-Density Coupling
We study evolution of various statistical quantities of smoothed cosmic
density and velocity fields using N-body simulations. The parameter
characterizes nonlinear coupling of
these two fields and determines behavior of bulk velocity dispersion as a
function of local density contrast.
It is found that this parameter depends strongly on the smoothing scale even
in quasi-linear regimes where the skewness parameter
is nearly constant and close to the predicted value by the second-order
perturbation theory. We also analyze weakly nonlinear effects caused by an
adaptive smoothing known as the gather approach.Comment: 22 pages, 4 figures, to appear in ApJ (558, Sep 10
Supergravity, Supermembrane and M(atrix) model on PP-Waves
In the first part of this paper, we study the back-reaction of large-N light
cone momentum on the maximally supersymmetric anti-pp-wave background. This
gives the type IIA geometry of large-N D0-branes on curved space with fluxes.
By taking an appropriate decoupling limit, we conjecture a new duality between
string theory on that background and dual field theory on D0-branes which we
derive by calculating linear coupling terms. Agreement of decoupling
quantities, SO(3) \times SO(6) isometry and Higgs branch on both theories are
shown. Also we find whenever dual field theory is weakly coupled, the curvature
of the geometry is large. In the second part of this paper, we derive the
supermembrane action on a general pp-wave background only through the
properties of null Killing vector and through this, derive the Matrix model.Comment: 19 pages, LaTeX. v2: corrected interpretation of supergravity

Confluent Orthogonal Drawings of Syntax Diagrams
We provide a pipeline for generating syntax diagrams (also called railroad
diagrams) from context free grammars. Syntax diagrams are a graphical
representation of a context free language, which we formalize abstractly as a
set of mutually recursive nondeterministic finite automata and draw by
combining elements from the confluent drawing, layered drawing, and smooth
orthogonal drawing styles. Within our pipeline we introduce several heuristics
that modify the grammar but preserve the language, improving the aesthetics of
the final drawing.Comment: GD 201
