Low-scale leptogenesis with flavour and CP symmetries

Marco Drewes, Juraj Klaric, Yannis Georis

We consider a type-I seesaw framework endowed with a flavour symmetry, belonging to the series of non-abelian groups increment (3 n(2)) and increment (6 n(2)), and a CP symmetry. Breaking these symmetries in a non-trivial way results in the right-handed ne ...

Large field excursions and approximate discrete symmetries from a clockwork axion

Riccardo Rattazzi

We present a renormalizable theory of scalars in which the low-energy effective theory contains a pseudo-Goldstone boson with a compact field space of 2 pi F and an approximate discrete shift symmetry Z(Q) with Q >> 1, yet the number of fields in the theor ...

Study of chi(cJ) decaying into phi K*(892)(K)over-bar

Qian Wang, Xin Chen, Jiannong Fang, Mingkui Wang, Zhirui Xu, Yi Zhang, Lei Zhang, Yixing Chen, Hua Zhang, Siyuan Wang, Junqiu Liu, Jie Chen, Xiaoqing Zhou, Yuan Yuan, Lin Yang, Fang Liu, Ke Liu, Fengping Li, Jun Dong, Feng Liu, Lei Zhou, Jianing Li, Sofia Carmen Suzanne Spataro, Zheng Wang, Wei Li, Yong Yang, Yi Wang, Hao Liu, Xiao Wang, Shuai Liu, Yu Zheng, Lei Li, Yifei Guo, Xuan Li, François Bianchi, Shan Jin, Jian Liu, Cheng Li, Qianyu Zhao, Yang Qin, Kun Liu

Using a data sample of 106 million psi(3686) events collected with the BESIII detector operated at the BEPCII storage ring, we study for the first time the decays chi(cJ) -> phi(KSK +/-)-K-0 pi(-/+) and chi(cJ) -> phi K+K-pi(0) in the E1 radiative transiti ...

Measurements of B -> (D)over-barDs0(+)(2317) decay rates and a search for isospin partners of the Ds0(+)(2317)

Olivier Schneider, Mingkui Wang, Chao Wang, Tagir Aushev, Ho Ling Li, Sun Hee Kim, Tara Nanut, Jun Yong Kim, Ji Hyun Kim, Donghyun Kim, Dipanwita Dutta, Xiao Wang

We report improved measurements of the product branching fractions B(B+ --> (D) over bar D-0(s0)(+)(2317)) x B(D-s0(+)(2317) --> D-s(+) pi(0)) (8.0(-1.2)(+1.3) +/- 1.1 +/- 0.4) x 10(-4) and B(B-0 --> D-Ds0*(+)(2317)) x B(D-s0*(+)(2317)) --> D-s(+) pi(0)) ...

Sur quelques foncteurs de bi-ensembles

Rosalie Françoise Chevalley

This thesis is in the context of representation theory of finite groups. More specifically, it studies biset functors. In this thesis, I focus on two biset functors: the Burnside functor and the functor of p-permutation modules. For the Burnside functor we ...

From Scale Invariance to Lorentz Symmetry

Sergey Sibiryakov

It is shown that a unitary translationally invariant field theory in 1 + 1 dimensions, satisfying isotropic scale invariance, standard assumptions about the spectrum of states and operators, and the requirement that signals propagate with finite velocity, ...

Can CoGeNT and DAMA modulations be due to Dark Matter?

Duccio Pappadopulo

We explore the dark matter interpretation of the anomalies claimed by the DAMA and COGENT experiments, in conjunction with the various null direct-detection experiments. An independent analysis of the COGENT data is employed and several experimental and as ...

Bounds on the width, mass difference and other properties of X(3872) -> pi(+)pi(-) J/psi decays

Olivier Schneider, Aurelio Bay, Yiming Li, Remi Léandre Albert Louvot, Mingkui Wang, Chao Wang, Tagir Aushev, Sun Hee Kim, Jun Yong Kim, Ji Hyun Kim, Xiao Wang, Jing Li, Xuan Li

We present results from a study of X(3872) -> pi pi J/psi decays produced via exclusive B -> KX(3872) decays. We determine the mass to be M-X(3872) = (3871.85 +/- 0.27(stat) +/- 0.19(syst)) MeV, a 90% confidence level upper limit on the natural width of Ga ...

The Momentum Map Representation of Images

Tudor Ratiu, François Gay-Balmaz, Martins Bruveris

This paper discusses the mathematical framework for designing methods of Large Deformation Diffeomorphic Matching (LDM) for image registration in computational anatomy. After reviewing the geometrical framework of LDM image registration methods, we prove a ...

Correlations of the local density of states in quasi-one-dimensional wires

Dmitri Ivanov

We report a calculation of the correlation function of the local density of states in a disordered quasi-one-dimensional wire in the unitary symmetry class at a small energy difference. Using an expression from the supersymmetric sigma model, we obtain the ...

Soft masses in superstring models with anomalous U(1) symmetries

Claudio Scrucca

We analyze the general structure of soft scalar masses emerging in superstring models involving anomalous U(1) symmetries, with the aim of characterizing more systematically the circumstances under which they can happen to be flavor universal. We consider ...
