Instructions to Authors www.elsevier.com/locate/physletb Instructions to authors Aims and Scope Physics Letters B ensures the rapid publication of letter-type communications in the fields of Nuclear Physics, Particle Physics and Astrophysics. Articles should influence the physics community significantly. Submission Electronic submission is strongly encouraged. The electronic file, accompanied by a covering message, should be e-mailed to one of the Editors indicated below. Easy submission via the LANL-preprint server is certainly possible; please visit http://www.elsevier.com/locate/plbsubmission. If electronic submission is not feasible, submission in print is possible, but it will delay publication. In the latter case manuscripts (one original + two copies), accompanied by a covering letter, should be sent to one of the following Editors: L.

By submitting a paper for publication in Physics Letters B the authors imply that the material has not been published previously nor has been submitted for publication elsewhere and that the authors have obtained the necessary authority for publication. Refereeing. Submitted papers will be refereed and, if necessary, authors may be invited to revise their manuscript. If a submitted paper relies heavily on unpublished material, it would be helpful to have a copy of that material for the use of the referee. Publication speed The Editors and Publisher cooperate closely to ensure minimal publication delays. All proofreading will be done by the Publisher and proofs are not sent to the author(s). In order to keep delays to a minimum it is of utter importance for the author(s) closely to observe the guidelines given in the “Preparation of Manuscripts” below before submission of the manuscript and to supply an E-mail address and/or telefax number of the corresponding author. Preparation of manuscripts The following requirements as regards presentation of the manuscript should be met: (1) Manuscript: All manuscripts should be written in good English. The original typescript should be typed on one side of the paper, with double spacing and a wide margin. Instead of the original typescript, a copy of high quality (not a carbon copy) is also acceptable.

We point out that the appropriate amount of baryon asymmetry can be generated in this model with the neutrino mass matrix consistent with the atmospheric neutrino oscillation and solutions to the solar neutrino problem, preferably the small angle MSW solution. The reheating temperature can be low enough to avoid the cosmological gravitino problem. This model is the minimal one because it does not rely on any new physics beyond supersymmetry and Majorana neutrino masses. ∗This work was supported in part by the U.S. Department of Energy under Con- tracts DE-AC03-76SF00098, in part by the National Science Foundation under grants PHY-95-13835 and PHY-95-14797.

Introduction Cosmic baryon asymmetry has been one of the biggest puzzles in mod- ern cosmology. It is hoped to understand it in terms of microscopic physics and evolution of Universe, if the well-known Sakharov’s three conditions are satisfied: (1) existence of baryon-number violation, (2) existence of CP vio- lation, and (3) departure from thermal equilibrium.

  • The Michigan Center for Theoretical Physics∗
    Michigan Center for Theoretical Physics THE MICHIGAN CENTER FOR THEORETICAL PHYSICS∗ PAST, PRESENT, AND FUTURE Written by: M. Duff, Director Emeritus G. Kane, Interim Director L. Sander, Associate Director for Research J. Liu, Associate Director for Budget/Executive Committee K. Freese, Associate Director for Outreach A. Bloch, Executive Committee G. Evrard, Executive Committee F. Nori, Executive Committee A. Milliken, Research Secretary ∗ http://www.umich.edu/~mctp/ 1 Michigan Center for Theoretical Physics SUMMARY The missions of The Michigan Center for Theoretical Physics (MCTP) are to carry out quality research, to educate, and to perform service. It is meant to focus particularly on promoting interdisciplinary explorations in theoretical physics and related mathematical sciences through a program of individual and collaborative research, seminars, workshops, and conferences. In the time since its inception in 2001 the MCTP has already gained a strong international reputation for its intellectual and organizational activities, and it is now poised to have an even larger impact as the world of theoretical and mathematical sciences increasingly takes advantage of the MCTP infrastructure to focus national and international activities at the MCTP. External fund raising began in fall 2004 and is showing signs of success. This report documents the structure and achievements of MCTP, and its goals for the future. Basically, within certain guidelines, the MCTP functions by responding to proposals from full members (perhaps with internal or external colleagues) for Workshops, Conferences, Visitors, and students support. Typically two postdocs have also been hired, and support provided for graduate and undergraduate students. This report documents the past activities of MCTP, and forms the foundation for urging the Department of Physics, the College of LS&A, and the University of Michigan to renew their support for an extended period in such a way that total resources are at least as large as they have been.

If an exchange rate is used to calculate the yen amount, give the rate. Summary of State of WPI Center Project Progress (write within two pages) Kavli IPMU is moving from the first phase of building the institute to the next phase of harvesting science. Even though the institute was launched from scratch, our impact factor is already comparable to world-leading institutes. Many of our observational and experimental activities have started to produce results after years of preparations. Science and Interdisciplinarity 352 (347) papers were published in refereed journals during the FY 2012 (Calendar Year 2012), with a steady increase over the past years (13, 111, 202, 236, 252 for FY 2007 to 2011, respectively). The impact factor based on cumulative record since the inception to March 2013 shows the strength of our scientific output: 12.6 citations per paper and 44 papers with more than 50 citations. This data is based on Web of Science by Thomson Reuters, and we specifically excluded a particular review paper which has a huge citation number.

  • Gravitino and Scalar Τ-Lepton Decays in Supersymmetric Models with Broken R-Parity
    Universit¨at Hamburg Deutsches Elektronen-Synchroton Department Physik Theory Group Gravitino and Scalar τ -Lepton Decays in Supersymmetric Models with Broken R-Parity Diploma Thesis by Jan Hajer Hamburg January 2010 Betreuer: Prof. Dr. Wilfried Buchmuller¨ (DESY) Zweitgutachter: Prof. Dr. Jan Louis (Universit¨at Hamburg) Abstract Mildly broken R-parity is known to provide a solution to the cosmological gravitino problem in supergravity extensions of the Standard Model. In this work we consider new effects occurring in the R-parity breaking Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model including right-handed neutrino superfields. We calculate the most general vacuum expectation values of neutral scalar fields including left- and right-handed scalar neutrinos. Ad- ditionally, we derive the corresponding mass mixing matrices of the scalar sector. We recalculate the neutrino mass generation mechanisms due to right- handed neutrinos as well as by cause of R-parity breaking. Furthermore, we obtain a, so far, unknown formula for the neutrino masses for the case where both mechanisms are effective. We then constrain the couplings to bilinear R-parity violating couplings in order to accommodate R-parity breaking to experimental results. In order to constrain the family structure with a U(1)Q flavor symmetry we furthermore embed the particle content into an SU(5)b Grand Unified Theory. In this model we calculate the signal of decaying gravitino dark matter as well as the dominant decay channel of a likely NLSP, the scalar τ-lepton. Comparing the gravitino signal with results of the Fermi Large Area Telescope enables us to find a lower bound on the decay length of scalar τ-leptons in collider experiments.

Summary of State of WPI Center Project Progress (write within two pages) The Kavli IPMU was founded from scratch as a unique interdisciplinary institute in the world combining mathematics, theoretical and experimental physics, and astronomy. It has grown to an international research center of about 230 research members. Scientific research progress In the calendar year (CY) 2014, 314 (452 when including WPI-related) papers were published, with a steady increase over the past years (75, 199, 240, 292, 347, 380 from CY2008 to CY2013 including WPI-related papers).
