Corrections to Massive Neutrino Masses, Caused by Vacuum Polarisation in Strong Coulomb Field of Daughter Nuclei in Weak Decays Of Heavy Ions
نویسندگان
چکیده
We calculate corrections to masses of massive neutrino mass–eigenstates, caused by vacuum polarization in the strong Coulomb fields of daughter heavy nuclei in the K–shell electron capture decays (EC) and positron (β+) decays of highly ionized heavy ions, investigated experimentally at GSI in Darmstadt. Some applications of the obtained results are discussed. c © Electronic Journal of Theoretical Physics. All rights reserved.

QCD Corrections to Inclusive Distributions of Leptons in Decays of Polarised Heavy Quarks*
Compact analytic expressions have been obtained for the first order perturbative QCD corrections to the inclusive spectra of the leptons in the semileptonic decays of polarised heavy quarks. Charmed and beautiful Λ baryons from Z decays can be viewed as sources of highly polarised charm and bottom quarks. Charged leptons and neutrinos from Λb and Λc decays can be used in the polarisation studie...
متن کاملPrimordial nucleosynthesis with a decaying tau neutrino.
A comprehensive study of the effect of an unstable tau neutrino on primordial nucleosynthesis is presented. The standard code for nucleosynthesis is modified to allow for a massive decaying tau neutrino whose daughter products include neutrinos, photons, e pairs, and/or noninteracting (sterile) daughter products. Tau-neutrino decays influence primordial nucleosynthesis in three distinct ways: (...

The results concerning the e+e− production in peripheral highly relativistic heavy-ion collisions presented in a recent paper by Baltz et al. are rederived in a very straightforward manner. It is shown that the solution of the Dirac equation directly leads to the multiplicity, i.e. to the total number of electronpositron pairs produced by the electromagnetic field of the ions, whereas the calcu...
