It is pointed out that the recent measurement of the angle γ of the unitarity triangle, providing irrefutable evidence for a complex Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa (CKM) matrix, presents a great challenge for supersymmetric models with spontaneous CP violation. We construct a new minimal extension of the minimal supersymmetric standard model (MSSM), with spontaneous CP breaking, which leads to a com...

Suppose the geometrical explaination to the weak CP phase in quark sector is also valid for neutrinos, the mixing and CP violation in neutrino system are discussed. We find a larger JCP than 3 × 10 −3 implys the large-mixing solution for solar neutrino problem. In case of bi-maximal mixing, we predict relative large CP violation with JCP larger than 10 −3 in neutrino system, except the third mi...

The title compound, [Fe(C(5)H(5))(C(11)H(9)O)], is of inter-est as a precursor to the synthesis of cheap ferrocene-based liquid crystals. The -OH substituent only results in weak C-H⋯O weak inter-actions between one of cyclo-penta-dienyl (Cp) ring H atoms and the O atom of a neighbouring mol-ecule with a distance of 3.308 (3) Å between the donor and acceptor atoms. The inter-planar angle betwee...

The relation between CP-violation phase angle and the other three mixing angles in Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa matrix is postulated. This relation has a very definite geometry meaning. The numerical result coincides surprisingly with that extracting from the experiments. It can be further put to the more precise tests in the future.

Central pontine myelinolysis is a rare but devastating cause of morbidity and mortality after orthotopic liver transplant. The exact cause of central pontine myelinolysis is uncertain. However, rapid correction of hyponatremia has been described as a major factor. We describe a patient with central pontine myelinolysis after orthotopic liver transplant in the absence of significant hyponatremia...

We consider CP violating effects in decays of the type B ± → γa ± 1,2 where a 1,2 are the J P = 1 + and 2 + resonances each decaying to the common final state via a ± 1,2 → π ± ρ 0. The resonances enhance the CP asymmetries and also knowledge of their masses and widths facilitates calculations of the effects. Several types of CP asymmetries are sizable (∼ 10–30%) requiring about (3–10) × 10 8 B...

Deviations from SM expectations in the Higgs sector can be parameterized by an effective Lagrangian. The corresponding anomalous couplings have been implemented in a Monte Carlo program for Higgs production in vector boson fusion, at NLO QCD accuracy. It allows to study anomalous coupling effects for production and decay of the Higgs boson. We analyze deviations allowed by LEP data and study a ...

We explore the possibility of extracting the weak phase γ from pure tree decays Λb → Λ(D0,D0,D0 CP ) in a model independent way. The CP violating weak phase γ can be determined cleanly, without any hadronic uncertainties, as these decay modes are free from the penguin pollutions. Furthermore, neither tagging nor time dependent studies are required to extract the angle γ with these modes. Typese...

The structure of the title compound, [Ru(C(10)H(15))(C(13)H(10)O)](C(24)H(20)B), consists of discrete [Cp*Ru(II)benzophenone] cations and tetra-phenyl-borate anions (Cp* = penta-methyl-cyclo-penta-dien-yl). Tethering the Cp*Ru group to one aryl ring of benzophenone results in average values of 1.42 (1) and 1.38 (1) Å for the C-C bond lengths in the Ru-tethered and untethered phenyl rings, respe...
