Random fields, ising model and bosson-fermion phase transition
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 QUANTIZATION AND THE BERRY PHASE
abstract: We study here the Berry phase from the point of view of stochastic quantization. The relativistic generalization of Nelson’s stochastic quantization procedure can be achieved when the Brownian motion process is taken into account in the internal space (apart from that in the external space). This effectively considers the particle as one that is stochastically extended, and nonrelativistic quantum mechanics is obtained in the sharp point limit. This can be formulated in terms of a gauge-field-theoretical extension of the particle. This inherent gauge field gives rise to the holonomy in a Hermitian line bundle, which appears as an extra phase factor in the adiabatic limit for a parameter-dependent Hamiltonian, and determines a unique connection. When the Hamiltonian is degenerate, the holonomy is defined in a complex vector bundle. In the case of a fermion, this Berry connection is found to be related to the Wess-Zumino term and can be considered to be of topological origin.

title: NONPERTURBATIVE QUANTUM GEOMETRY AND TORSION
abstract: The relevance of torsion in nonperturbative quantum geometry is studied here from the viewpoint of the equivalence of the loop space to the space of gauge potentials modulo gauge transformations satisfying Mandelstam constraints. The topological feature associated with the gauge orbit space of a non-Abelian gauge theory when the topological θ term is introduced in the Lagrangian corresponds to a vortex line and the gauge orbit space appears to be multiply connected in nature. This has an implication in the loop space formalism, in the sense that the latter involves nonlocality and there is no way we could arrive at a corresponding continuum limit. In the gravity without the metric formalism of Capovilla, Jacobson and Dell, the θ term in the Lagrangian corresponds to torsion. This suggests that in the construction of a solution of functionals annihilated by the Hamiltonian constraint, any regularization procedure which destroys the gauge invariance of the loop space variables also destroys the topology of the gauge orbit space and the continuum limit can be achieved only by removing the vortex line. Thus the constraint equations of canonical quantization of gravity can be achieved only in the limit of torsion tending to zero. This provides the link between covariant and canonical quantization of gravity and demonstrates explicitly the role of the arrow of time in nonperturbative quantum geometry also when we take the gauge-invariant holonomy variables as the fundamental entity.

title: Geometrical aspects of magnetic monopoles
abstract: The possible topological structures of elementary particles have been investigated to explore the possibility of the existence of magnetic monopoles. It is pointed out that when an elementary charged particle is depicted as an extended body such that the orientation of the internal space (“internal helicity”) defines the fermion number, the global conservation of this does not allow the existence of a magnetic monopole. Again it is argued that when anisotropy is introduced in the microlocal space-time depicting the internal space of hadrons, this gives rise to the internal symmetry algebra and no non-Abelian gauge fields and Higgs scalars are necessary to have a grand unified scheme of interactions. This avoids theSU2 and GUT monopoles. Besides, in this formalism, baryon number corresponds to the orientation or internal helicity of the composite system and the global conservation of this quantum number is found to be a consequence of Lorentz invariance. This forbids the existence of any sort of cosmological monopole in this Lorentz invariant Universe.

title: Disintegration of deuteron by neutrino-deuteron scattering and the photon-neutrino weak-coupling theory
abstract: We study here disintegration of the deuteron by neutrino-deuteron scattering according to the photon-neutrino coupling theory. It is found that the value of $\ensuremath{\sigma}$ calculated for the transition $^{3}S\ensuremath{\rightarrow}^{1}S$ in the energy range of 50 MeV is of the order of ${10}^{\ensuremath{-}42}$ ${\mathrm{cm}}^{2}$ A comparison is also made here with the predictions of the Salam-Weinberg theory.

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: Higgs production in CP-violating supersymmetric cascade decays: probing the ‘open hole’ at the Large Hadron Collider
abstract: A benchmark CP-violating supersymmetric scenario (known as ‘CPX-scenario’ in the literature) is studied in the context of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). It is shown that the LHC, with low to moderate accumulated luminosity, will be able to probe the existing ‘hole’ in the $ {m_{{h_1}}} $-tan β plane, which cannot be ruled out by the LEP data. We explore the parameter space with cascade decay of third generation squarks and gluino with CP-violating decay branching fractions. We propose a multi-channel analysis to probe this parameter space some of which are background free at an integrated luminosity of 5-10 fb−1. Specially, multi-lepton final states (3l, 4l and like sign di-lepton) are almost background free and have 5σ reach for the corresponding signals with very early data of LHC for both 14 TeV and 7 TeV center of mass energy.

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: Search for Higgs bosons of the universal extra dimensions at the large Hadron collider
abstract: The Higgs sector of the Universal Extra Dimensions (UED) has a rather involved setup. With one extra space dimension, the main ingredients to the construct are the higher Kaluza-Klein (KK) excitations of the Standard Model Higgs boson and the fifth components of the gauge fields which on compactification appear as scalar degrees of freedom and can mix with the former thus leading to physical KK-Higgs states of the scenario. In this work, we explore in detail the phenomenology of such a Higgs sector of the UED with the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) in focus. We work out relevant decay branching fractions involving the KK-Higgs excitations. Possible production modes of the KK-Higgs bosons are then discussed with an emphasis on their associated production with the third generation KK-quarks and that under the cascade decays of strongly interacting UED excitations which turn out to be the only phenomenologically significant modes. It is pointed out that the collider searches of such Higgs bosons face generic hardship due to soft end-products which result from severe degeneracies in the masses of the involved excitations in the minimal version of the UED (MUED). Generic implications of either observing some or all of the KK-Higgs bosons at the LHC are discussed.

title: Unusual Higgs boson signal in R-parity violating nonminimal supersymmetric models at the LHC
abstract: We predict an unconventional background free signal of the Higgs boson in $R$-parity violating nonminimal supersymmetric models at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). The signal comprises dilepton plus four hadronic jets and two large displaced vertices. The displaced leptons and jets are coming from the decay of the lightest supersymmetric particle (LSP), which is predominantly a gauge-singlet neutrino. A pair of such LSPs can couple to a Higgs boson, created via gluon fusion. We have analyzed two cases - one corresponding to the tree-level Higgs boson mass and another with the one-loop corrected mass of the Higgs boson. A reliable Higgs mass reconstruction using this signal can lead to discovery at the LHC with center-of-mass energy $\sqrt{s}=14~\rm{TeV}$ and 5 fb$^{-1}$ of integrated luminosity $(\mathcal{L})$. Even at $\sqrt{s}=7~\rm{TeV}$ and $\mathcal{L}$ = 5 fb$^{-1}$, a reasonable number of events are expected. Besides, mass reconstruction of a gauge-singlet LSP can provide an estimate of the seesaw scale.
