Muonless neutrino events and the photon-neutrino weak-coupling theory
SummaryWe discuss here the mounless neutrino events according to the photon-neutrino weak-coupling theory and it is found that recent experimental results conform well with the theoretical predictions. We also point out that strangeness-changing neutral lepton currents are not allowed in this theory and so no unnatural mechanism is needed to interpret the highly stringent limits on the processes like KL0 → μ−μ+ and
$$K + \to \pi ^ + \nu \bar \nu $$
 as observed in experiments.RiassuntoSi discutono qui gli eventi neutrinici senza muoni secondo la teoria dell’accoppiamento debole fotone-neutrino e si trova che i recenti risultati sperimentali concordano bene con le predizioni teoriche. Si mette anche in rilievo che le correnti leptoniche neutre che cambiano la stranezza non sono ammesse in questa teoria e così un meccanismo unnaturale è necessario per interpretare i limiti molto rigorosi nei processi come KL0 → μ+μ− e K+ → π+ν

title: EXTENDED CONFORMAL GROUP, SUPERSYMMETRY, AND GEOMETRICAL PROPERTIES OF HADRONS
abstract: We have studied the interrelation among conformal symmetry, internal symmetry and super-symmetry and have shown that extended conformal group which includes, apart from conformal transformation, space, time and conformal reflection can give rise to internal symmetry algebra as well as supersymmetry algebra. To achieve this result, we have dealt with conformal spinors which are taken to be the constituents of the hadrons and these split into two Cartan semispinors or Dirac spinors in the Minkowski space, giving rise to the particle and antiparticle configurations. Supersymmetry is broken here just by the mass term and as such no massless hadron can exist in nature. The internal symmetry arises from the discrete symmetry of reflection. The most significant feature of this formalism is that the symmetry structure helps us to explain the meson-baryon mass difference in an elegant way and the role of fictitious superpartners is completely avoided. Again, any baryon number nonconserving process like proton decay is found to be forbidden by the Lorentz invariance. Finally, it is noted that though the discrete symmetry of reflection is taken to be the origin of the internal symmetry, topological nontrivial structures like strings do not appear here and this also avoids the possibility of the nonconservation of global charge.

title: QUANTUM HALL SKYRMIONS IN THE FRAMEWORK OF O(4) NONLINEAR SIGMA MODEL
abstract: A new framework for quantum Hall skyrmions in O(4) nonlinear sigma model is studied here. The size and energy of the skyrmions are determined incorporating the quartic stability term in the Lagrangian. Moreover, the introduction of a θ-term determines the spin and statistics of these skyrmions.

title: EQUIVALENCE OF STOCHASTIC, KLAUDER AND GEOMETRIC QUANTIZATION
abstract: The relativistic generalization of stochastic quantization helps us to introduce a stochastic-phase-space formulation when a relativistic quantum particle appears as a stochastically extended one. The nonrelativistic quantum mechanics is obtained in the sharp point limit. This also helps us to introduce a gauge-theoretical extension of a relativistic quantum particle when for a fermion the group structure of the gauge field is SU(2). The sharp point limit is obtained when we have a minimal contribution of the residual gauge field retained in the limiting procedure. This is shown to be equivalent to the geometrical approach to the phase-space quantization introduced by Klauder if it is interpreted in terms of a universal magnetic field acting on a free particle moving in a higher-dimensional configuration space when quantization corresponds to freezing the particle to its first Landau level. The geometric quantization then appears as a natural consequence of these two formalisms, since the Hermitian line bundle introduced there finds a physical meaning in terms of the inherent gauge field in stochastic-phase-space formulation or in the interaction with the magnetic field in Klauder quantization.

title: Random fields, ising model and bosson-fermion phase transition
abstract: SummaryIt is here shown that when the stochastic quantization procedure is introduced to a massive Thirring fermion where the latter is described as a bound state of massless oscillators interacting through a gradient term in a linear chain, we find that a boson-fermion phase transition occurs at a critical temperatureT =Tc, and atT >Tc supersymmetry is restored. In this scheme supersymmetry is broken by the generation of mass which arises due to the presence of the gradient term.

title: Stochastic field theory at finite temperature, supersymmetry, and witten index
abstract: Finite temperature supersymmetry is studied here from the point of view of stochastic field theory and the formalism of thermofield dynamics. It is shown that the Witten index can take only the values 1 and ½ in this formalism. It is pointed out that when at a critical temperature T c , below which supersymmetry is spontaneously broken, the zero energy mode is given by a thermal doublet of opposite statistics when the index is 1. However, when the index is ½, the zero energy mode is given by a thermal doublet of the same fermionic statistics.

title: Higgs signatures in inverse seesaw model at the LHC
abstract: A bstractIn the inverse seesaw mechanism where the spontaneously broken B-L symmetry induces tiny B-L violating Majorana masses for right-handed neutrinos, non-standard Higgs signatures can arise due to a possible Higgs doublet and singlet mixing and/or Higgs boson decays to a left- and right-handed neutrino. This leads to a remarkable feature of hadronically quiet di-lepton final states which can exhibit, in particular, lepton flavour violating signatures coming from flavour-dependent neutrino Yukawa couplings. In this process, one lepton coming from the right-handed decay could be soft enough can be missed by the trigger level cuts of CMS and ATLAS for the di-lepton plus missing energy signature. The prospects of such a signature are investigated for 8 TeV and 14 TeV center of mass energy of the LHC, taking the maximum value of the allowed neutrino Yukawa coupling and the right-handed neutrino mass of 100 GeV. A PYTHIA level simulation shows that the integrated luminosity of 10-20/fb and 1.6/fb for 8 TeV is required to observe the inclusive leptonic and lepton flavour violating signatures, respectively. For 14 TeV, the reach is more and a larger parameter space of the inverse seesaw model can be probed.

title: Boosted top quarks in supersymmetric cascade decays at the LHC
abstract: At the LHC, a generic supersymmetric cascade can be a source of top quark. Specifically third generation squarks and gluino are the major sources of top quark which could also be boosted. In this article, we have shown that jet substructure algorithm can be very useful in identifying such boosted top quarks in the cascade. We take inclusive three jets plus zero lepton plus missing energy final state and try to reconstruct at least one hadronically decaying top quark by using top tagging techniques which has good prospect at the LHC.

title: Working group report: Physics at the Large Hadron Collider
abstract: This is a summary of the activities of the Physics at the LHC working group in the XIth Workshop on High Energy Physics Phenomenology (WHEPP-XI) held at the Physical Research Laboratory, Ahmedabad, India in January 2010. We discuss the activities of each sub-working group on physics issues at colliders such as Tevatron and Large Hadron Collider (LHC). The main issues discussed involve (1) results on W mass measurement and associated QCD uncertainties, (2) an attempt to understand the asymmetry measured at Tevatron in the top quark production, and (3) phenomenology of warped space dimension model.

title: Displaced Higgs production in type III seesaw
abstract: We point out that the type III seesaw mechanism introducing fermion triplets predicts peculiar Higgs boson signatures of displaced vertices with two b jets and one or two charged particles which can be cleanly identified. In a supersymmetric theory, the scalar partner of the fermion triplet contains a neutral dark matter candidate which is almost degenerate with its charged components. A Higgs boson can be produced together with such a dark matter triplet in the cascade decay chain of a strongly produced squark or gluino. When the next lightest supersymmetric particle (NLSP) is bino/wino-like, there appears a Higgs boson associated with two charged tracks of a charged lepton and a heavy charged scalar at a displacement larger than about 1 mm. The corresponding production cross-section is about 0.5 fb for the squark/gluino mass of 1 TeV. In the case of the stau NLSP, it decays mainly to a Higgs boson and a heavy charged scalar whose decay length is larger than 0.1 mm for the stau NLSP mixing with the left-handed stau smaller than 0.3. As this process can have a large cascade production ∼2 pb for the squark/gluino mass ∼1 TeV, one may be able to probe it at the early stage of the LHC experiment.
