Chiral freedom and the scale of weak interactions
A second rank antisymmetric tensor field is proposed as an alternative to the
Higgs scalar. No mass term is allowed by the symmetries. At the scale where the
asymptotically free chiral couplings of the fermions grow large, condensates of
top-antitop and bottom-antibottom may induce the spontaneous breaking of the
electroweak gauge symmetry. This would solve the gauge hierarchy problem by
dimensional transmutation, similar to QCD.Comment: extended discussion of consistency and mass generation, 4 page
Role of the meson in photoproduction off the deuteron
Neutral kaon photoproduction off the nucleon and deuteron has been
reinvestigated by utilizing the new experimental data on both targets. An
isobar model for elementary operator and impulse approximation for the reaction
on the deuteron have been used. The available free parameters in the elementary
model have been extracted from both elementary and deuteron data. In contrast
to the elementary reaction, fitting the deuteron data requires an inclusion of
weighting factor. The result indicates that the angular distribution of the
elementary process does not show backward peaking behavior.Comment: 4 pages, 4 figures, prepared for the Fifth Asia-Pacific Conference on

Neutral kaon photoproduction on the deuteron
Neutral kaon photoproduction on the deuteron has been investigated by
including the final state effects and compared with the experimental data.
Comparison shows that the models used in this calculation can reproduce the
data in the channel regions fairly well but still give over
predictions in the channel. It seems that the tensor target
asymmetries are more suitable for studying the final state effects. The
extractions of the elementary photoproduction amplitude are also demonstrated.Comment: 6 pages, 6 figures, talk given by A. Salam at Fourth Asia-Pacific

Casimir-Polder intermolecular forces in minimal length theories
Generalized uncertainty relations are known to provide a minimal length
. The effect of such minimal length in the Casimir-Polder
interactions between neutral atoms (molecules) is studied. The first order
correction term in the minimal uncertainty parameter is derived and found to
describe an attractive potential scaling as as opposed to the well
known long range retarded potential.Comment: 1 Figure. Version published by Physical Review D. Few references

The influence of the environmental factors on the adoption of the International Accounting System IAS/IFRS : case of Iraq
Purpose: This research aims to study the impact of local environmental factors on the adoption of International Accounting system in Iraq. So the main objective of the research can be the evaluation of the role of local environmental factors in selecting the best method to adopt International Accounting Standards (IAS), and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). Design/methodology/approach: The researchers prepared a questionnaire contains 28 paragraphs which were coded and divided into 7 parts showing the independent variables of the study (the environmental factors) and the dependent variable (the adoption of IAS/IFRS) Findings: The results of the research show that the local environment factors can effect on the choice of the country to adopt the best method of IAS/IFRS adoption, and the statistical analysis results show that there is a very good level of agreement for the participants about the effect of local environment factors on the adoption of IAS/IFRS. Practical implications: The research offers insights to the need to activate national standards and principles that are appropriate to the local environment in order to adapt with the requirements of IAS/IFRS adoption. Originality/value: The research presents significant pragmatic evidence in terms of its meticulous approach towards checking the robustness of results.peer-reviewe
Scalar Sector in the Minimal Supersymmetric 3-3-1 model
We consider the minimal supersymmetric extension of the 3-3-1 model and we
study the mass spectra in the scalar sector of this model without the
anti-sextet. We show that all our lighest scalars are in agreement with the
experimental limits.Comment: It was included on the introduction of the article the motivation to
> study the model, and we moved the sections 4.1 and 4.2 to the appendix. It
has 22 pages, 9 figures. It was accepted to be published at International

Relevant gluonic energy scale of spontaneous chiral symmetry breaking from lattice QCD
We analyze which momentum component of the gluon field induces spontaneous
chiral symmetry breaking in lattice QCD. After removing the high-momentum or
low-momentum component of the gluon field, we calculate the chiral condensate
and observe the roles of these momentum components. The chiral condensate is
found to be drastically reduced by removing the zero-momentum gluon. The
reduction is about 40% of the total in our calculation condition. The
nonzero-momentum infrared gluon also has a sizable contribution to the chiral
condensate. From the Banks-Casher relation, this result reflects the nontrivial
relation between the infrared gluon and the zero-mode quark
