Enhancing thjthj Production from Top-Higgs FCNC Couplings

In this paper, we study the single top and Higgs associated production $pp \to thj$ in the presence of top-Higgs FCNC couplings($\kappa_{tqh}, q=u,c$) at the LHC. Under the current constraints, we find that the cross section of $pp \to thj$ can be sizably enhanced in comparison with the SM predictions at 8 and 14 TeV LHC. We also find that the full cross section of $pp \to thj$ with $\kappa_{tch}$ is larger than the resonant cross section of $pp \to t\bar{t} \to thj$ by a factor 1.16 at 8 TeV LHC and 1.12 at 14 TeV LHC, respectively. We further explore the observability of top-Higgs FCNC couplings through $pp \to t(\to b\ell^{+} \nu_{\ell}) h( \to \gamma\gamma) j$ and find that the branching ratios $Br(t\to qh)$, $Br(t \to uh)$ and $Br(t \to ch)$ can be respectively probed to $0.12\%,~0.23\%$ and $~0.26\%$ at $3\sigma$ sensitivity at 14 TeV LHC with ${\cal L} =3000$ fb$^{-1}$.Comment: 15 pages, 7 figures, references and discussions added, accepted by JHE

Onsager Relations and Hydrodynamic Balance Equations in 2D Quantum Wells

In this letter we clarify the role of heat flux in the hydrodynamic balance equations in 2D quantum wells, facilitating the formulation of an Onsager relation within the framework of this theory. We find that the Onsager relation is satisfied within the framework of the 2D hydrodynamic balance equation transport theory at sufficiently high density. The condition of high density is consonant with the requirement of strong electron-electron interactions for the validity of our balance equation formulation.Comment: 11 pages, RevTex, 4 postscript figures are avaliable upon reques
