Leptogenesis with heavy neutrino flavours: from density matrix to Boltzmann equations

Steve Blanchet

Leptogenesis with heavy neutrino flavours is discussed within a density matrix formalism. We write the density matrix equation, describing the generation of the matter-antimatter asymmetry, for an arbitrary choice of the right-handed (RH) neutrino masses. ...

The lightest scalar in theories with broken supersymmetry

Claudio Scrucca, Leonardo Brizi

We study the scalar mass matrix of general supersymmetric theories with local gauge symmetries, and derive an absolute upper bound on the lightest scalar mass. This bound can be saturated by suitably tuning the superpotential, and its positivity therefore ...

Full-field drift Hamiltonian particle orbits in axisymmetric tokamak geometry

Jonathan Graves, Wilfred Anthony Cooper

A Hamiltonian/Lagrangian theory to describe guiding center orbit drift motion that is canonical in Boozer magnetic coordinates is developed to include full electrostatic and electromagnetic perturbed fields in axisymmetric tokamak geometry. Furthermore, th ...

Solving the mu problem with a heavy Higgs boson

Roberto Franceschini

We discuss the generation of the mu-term in a class of supersymmetric models characterized by a low energy effective superpotential containing a term lambda SH1H2 with a large coupling lambda similar to 2. These models generically predict a lightest Higgs ...

Scale-invariant alternatives to general relativity

Mikhail Chapochnikov, Diego Blas Temino, Daniel Zenhäusern

We study the general class of gravitational field theories constructed on the basis of scale invariance (and therefore absence of any mass parameters) and invariance under transverse diffeomorphisms, which are the 4-volume conserving coordinate transformat ...

Vacuum Stability in Supersymmetric Effective Theories

Leonardo Brizi

The main topics discussed in this thesis are supersymmetric low-energy effective theories and metastability conditions in generic non-renormalizable models with global and local supersymmetry. In the first part we discuss the conditions under which the low ...

A New Lagrangian Dynamic Reduction In Field Theory

Tudor Ratiu, François Gay-Balmaz

For symmetric classical field theories on principal bundles there are two methods of symmetry reduction: covariant and dynamic. Assume that the classical field theory is given by a symmetric covariant Lagrangian density defined on the first jet bundle of a ...

Anomaly driven signatures of new invisible physics at the Large Hadron Collider

Alexey Boyarsky, Oleg Ruchayskiy

Many extensions of the Standard Model (SM) predict new neutral vector bosons at energies accessible by the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). We study an extension of the SM with new chiral fermions subject to non-trivial anomaly cancellations. If the new fermio ...

Minimal matter at the large hadron collider

Duccio Pappadopulo, Roberto Franceschini

We classify all possible new U(1)(Y) circle times SU(2)(L) circle times SU(3)(c) multiplets that can couple to pairs of SM particles. Assuming that production of such new particles is dominated by their gauge interactions we study their signals at LHC, fin ...

Anomalous solitons

Matthias Schmid

Solitons are stable, non-singular solutions to the classical equations of motion of non-linear field theory. Their energy is localized and finite and their shape remains unaltered during propagation. For this reason they represent particle-like states in f ...
