Generalized King linearity and new physics searches with isotope shifts

Searches for New Physics

Current experimental limits for new physics beyond the Standard Model and hints for deviations from Standard Model expectations will be reviewed, highlighting recent results. Possible signals that will be discussed include Higgs bosons, supersymmetric particles, large extra dimensions, new gauge bosons, dynamical symmetry breaking, muon g 2, rare decays and lepton flavor violation. The discover...

CDF Searches for New Physics with Photons

We present results of searches for new physics in final states with photons at CDF in approximately 1fb of pp̄ collisions at 1.96 TeV. We give an overview of the data-driven photon background estimation techniques used for the analyses. We report on a search for diphoton peaks and signature-based searches for γγ +X, lγ +X (X = e, μ, 6ET, γ) and tt̄γ. PACS. 13.85.Rm Limits on production of particl...

New Physics Searches at Babar

We will present the most recent results from the BABAR Collaboration concerning New Physics searches in rare B and Lepton Flavour Violating (LFV) decays, including b → s transitions, purely leptonic B decays and LFV τ decays.

New spin-orbit interactions and isotope shifts

We propose a method to improve spin-orbit potentials of the Skyrme interaction in N > Z nuclei. New spin-orbit parameters for Skyrme interactions SIII, SkM∗ and SGII are shown to yield better agreement with empirical spin-orbit splittings than the original ones, not only in 16O but also in 208Pb. The isotope shifts in Pb nuclei and excitation energies of collective Gamow-Teller states in 48Sc, ...
