(Dated: April 2, 2015) Abstract A possible manifestation of an additional light gauge boson A0, named as Dark Photon, associated with a group U(1)B−L is studied in neutrino electron scattering experiments. The exclusion plot on the coupling constant gB−L and the dark photon mass MA0 is obtained. It is shown that contributions of interference term between the dark photon and the Standard Model are important. The interference effects are studied and compared with for data sets from TEXONO, GEMMA, BOREXINO, LSND as well as CHARM II experiments. Our results provide more stringent bounds to some regions of parameter space. PACS numbers: 13.15.+g,12.60.+i,14.70.Pw arXiv:1502.07763v2 [hep-ph] 1 Apr 2015 1 CONTENTS I. Introduction 2 II.

  • Estimation of Baryon Asymmetry of the Universe from Neutrino Physics
    ESTIMATION OF BARYON ASYMMETRY OF THE UNIVERSE FROM NEUTRINO PHYSICS Manorama Bora Department of Physics Gauhati University This thesis is submitted to Gauhati University as requirement for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Faculty of Science March 2018 I would like to dedicate this thesis to my parents . Abstract The discovery of neutrino masses and mixing in neutrino oscillation experiments in 1998 has greatly increased the interest in a mechanism of baryogenesis through leptogenesis, a model of baryogenesis which is a cosmological consequence. The most popular way to explain why neutrinos are massive but at the same time much lighter than all other fermions, is the see-saw mechanism. Thus, leptogenesis realises a highly non-trivial link between two completely independent experimental observations: the absence of antimatter in the observable universe and the observation of neutrino mixings and masses. Therefore, leptogenesis has a built-in double sided nature.. The discovery of Higgs boson of mass 125GeV having properties consistent with the SM, further supports the leptogenesis mechanism. In this thesis we present a brief sketch on the phenomenological status of Standard Model (SM) and its extension to GUT with or without SUSY. Then we review on neutrino oscillation and its implication with latest experiments. We discuss baryogenesis via leptogenesis through the decay of heavy Majorana neutrinos. We also discuss formulation of thermal leptogenesis. At last we try to explore the possibilities for the discrimination of the six kinds of Quasi- degenerate neutrino(QDN)mass models in the light of baryogenesis via leptogenesis. We have seen that all the six QDN mass models are relevant in the context of flavoured leptogenesis.

Several different forms of the Kobayashi-Maskawa parametrization are found in the In the Standard Model with SU(2) × U(1) as the gauge group of literature.

  • Charm Meson Molecules and the X(3872)
    Charm Meson Molecules and the X(3872) DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Masaoki Kusunoki, B.S. ***** The Ohio State University 2005 Dissertation Committee: Approved by Professor Eric Braaten, Adviser Professor Richard J. Furnstahl Adviser Professor Junko Shigemitsu Graduate Program in Professor Brian L. Winer Physics Abstract The recently discovered resonance X(3872) is interpreted as a loosely-bound S- wave charm meson molecule whose constituents are a superposition of the charm mesons D0D¯ ¤0 and D¤0D¯ 0. The unnaturally small binding energy of the molecule implies that it has some universal properties that depend only on its binding energy and its width. The existence of such a small energy scale motivates the separation of scales that leads to factorization formulas for production rates and decay rates of the X(3872). Factorization formulas are applied to predict that the line shape of the X(3872) differs significantly from that of a Breit-Wigner resonance and that there should be a peak in the invariant mass distribution for B ! D0D¯ ¤0K near the D0D¯ ¤0 threshold. An analysis of data by the Babar collaboration on B ! D(¤)D¯ (¤)K is used to predict that the decay B0 ! XK0 should be suppressed compared to B+ ! XK+. The differential decay rates of the X(3872) into J=Ã and light hadrons are also calculated up to multiplicative constants. If the X(3872) is indeed an S-wave charm meson molecule, it will provide a beautiful example of the predictive power of universality.

    Report series ISSN 0284 - 2769 of SE9900247 THE SVEDBERG LABORATORY and \ DEPARTMENT OF RADIATION SCIENCES UPPSALA UNIVERSITY Box 533, S-75121 Uppsala, Sweden http://www.tsl.uu.se/ TSL/ISV-99-0204 February 1999 Charm and Strange Quark Contributions to the Proton Structure Kristel Torokoff1 Dept. of Radiation Sciences, Uppsala University, Box 535, S-751 21 Uppsala, Sweden Abstract: The possibility to have charm and strange quarks as quantum mechanical fluc- tuations in the proton wave function is investigated based on a model for non-perturbative QCD dynamics. Both hadron and parton basis are examined. A scheme for energy fluctu- ations is constructed and compared with explicit energy-momentum conservation. Resulting momentum distributions for charniand_strange quarks in the proton are derived at the start- ing scale Qo f°r the perturbative QCD evolution. Kinematical constraints are found to be important when comparing to the "intrinsic charm" model.

  • Introduction to Flavour Physics
    Introduction to flavour physics Y. Grossman Cornell University, Ithaca, NY 14853, USA Abstract In this set of lectures we cover the very basics of flavour physics. The lec- tures are aimed to be an entry point to the subject of flavour physics. A lot of problems are provided in the hope of making the manuscript a self-study guide. 1 Welcome statement My plan for these lectures is to introduce you to the very basics of flavour physics. After the lectures I hope you will have enough knowledge and, more importantly, enough curiosity, and you will go on and learn more about the subject. These are lecture notes and are not meant to be a review. In the lectures, I try to talk about the basic ideas, hoping to give a clear picture of the physics. Thus many details are omitted, implicit assumptions are made, and no references are given. Yet details are important: after you go over the current lecture notes once or twice, I hope you will feel the need for more. Then it will be the time to turn to the many reviews [1–10] and books [11, 12] on the subject. I try to include many homework problems for the reader to solve, much more than what I gave in the actual lectures. If you would like to learn the material, I think that the problems provided are the way to start. They force you to fully understand the issues and apply your knowledge to new situations. The problems are given at the end of each section.
