    A possibility to search for a heavy isosinglet (sterile) neutrino using its decay mode νsl±+2jets\nu_s \to l^{\pm} + 2 jets in the SS - channel production ppW+Xl±νs+Xpp \to W^* + X \to l^{\pm}\nu_s + X in the CMS experiment is studied. The only assumption about the heavy neutrino is its nonzero mixing with νe\nu_e or νμ\nu_{\mu}. The corresponding CMS discovery potential expressed in terms of the heavy neutrino mass and the mixing parameter between the heavy and light neutrino is determined. It is shown that the heavy neutrino with a mass up to 800 GeVGeV could be detected in CMS. We also investigate the production of the heavy neutrino NlN_l mixed with νe\nu_e and/or νμ\nu_{\mu} in the SUC(3)SUL(2)SUR(2)U(1)SU_C(3) \otimes SU_L(2) \otimes SU_R(2)\otimes U(1) model through the reaction ppWR+Xl±Nl+Xpp \to W_R + X \to l^{\pm}N_l + X with the same heavy neutrino decay channel as above. We find that for MWR<3TeVM_{W_R} < 3 TeV it is possible to discover the heavy neutrino with a mass up to 0.75MWR0.75 \cdot M_{W_R}.Comment: 14 pages, 13 figure

    Simulation of the solidification of the melt in the Vanyukov furnace in the case of emergency stoppage

    Full text link
    A mathematical model of the Vanyukov furnace, which makes it possible to predict the behavior of an object in the emergency operational mode (upon the disconnection of the oxygen supply) and develop an effective system of additional heating which damps the consequences of the emergency mode and lowers the costs for the renovation of the furnace operation, is created. It is shown how solidification upon cooling the furnace with time is simulated using the enthalpy and porosity method. The mathematical model is adopted for existing production conditions, which are weakly defined. The energy characteristics of the mode for the solidifying furnace bath, which ensures its holding for a long time in the ready state to rapid firing, are found. Thus, the problem of excessively expensive furnace firing after prolonged production stoppage is solved in the conjugated statement with a calculation of the heating system of the overbath space. © 2013 Allerton Press, Inc

    Probing lepton flavour violation in νμ+Nτ+...\nu_{\mu} + N \to \tau + ... scattering and μtau\mu \to tau conversion on nucleons

    Full text link
    We study lepton flavour-violating interactions which could result in the τ\tau-lepton production in the νμN\nu_{\mu}N scattering or in μτ\mu \to \tau conversion on nucleons at high energies. Phenomenological bounds on the strength of τˉνμqˉq\bar{\tau}\nu_{\mu}\bar{q}q^{'} interactions are extracted from the combined result of the NOMAD and CHORUS experiments on searching for νμντ\nu_{\mu} - \nu_{\tau} oscillations. Some of these bounds supersede limits from rare decays. We also propose a ``missing energy'' type experiment searching for μτ\mu - \tau conversion on nucleons. The experiment can be performed at a present accelerator or at a future neutrino factory.Comment: 13 pages, 4 figure

    Applicability of QKD: TerraQuantum view on the NSA's scepticism

    Full text link
    Quantum communication offers unique features that have no classical analog, in particular, it enables provably secure quantum key distribution (QKD). Despite the benefits of quantum communication are well understood within the scientific community, the practical implementations sometimes meet with scepticism or even resistance. In a recent publication [1], NSA claims that QKD is inferior to "quantum-resistant" cryptography and does not recommend it for use. Here we show that such a sceptical approach to evaluation of quantum security is not well justified. We hope that our arguments will be helpful to clarify the issue

    H-theorem and Maxwell Demon in Quantum Physics

    Full text link
    The Second Law of Thermodynamics states that temporal evolution of an isolated system occurs with non-diminishing entropy. In quantum realm, this holds for energy-isolated systems the evolution of which is described by the so-called unital quantum channel. The entropy of a system evolving in a non-unital quantum channel can, in principle, decrease. We formulate a general criterion of unitality for the evolution of a quantum system, enabling a simple and rigorous approach for finding and identifying the processes accompanied by decreasing entropy in energy-isolated systems. We discuss two examples illustrating our findings, the quantum Maxwell demon and heating-cooling process within a two-qubit system.Comment: 7 pages, 2 figures, IV International Conference on Quantum Technologie
