The top quark plays an important role in the Standard Model of particle physics as the most massive elementary particle, relevant to electroweak physics. The top was discovered via pair production [1, 2] and has also been more recently produced via single top [3, 4] channels at the Tevatron. On the theoretical side, QCD corrections are significant for top quark production and even higherorder c...

The discovery of anomalous behavior in data collected at high energy physics experiments could provide non-SUSY and non-Higgs explanations to questions associated with the Standard Model and provide deeper understanding to the fundamental particles and interactions in nature. Such questions include whether quarks and leptons are composite particles, the existence of extra dimensions, and the an...

We can no longer speak of the behavior of the particle independently of the process of observation. As a final consequence, the natural laws formulated mathematically in quantum theory no longer deal with the elementary particles themselves but with our knowledge of them. Nor is it any longer possible to ask whether or not these particles exist in space and time objectively . . . . . . Science ...

The decay of elementary particles is described nonrelativistically and using the method of the special theory of relativity. Then the Tsiolkovskii rocket equation is applied to the one photon decay of the excited nucleus of the Mössbauer effect. The formation time of photons during decay is supposed nonzero. The Meščerskii equation is possible to identify with the bremsstrahlung equation. All d...

We study the interplay of supersymmetry and certain non-compact invariance groups in extended supergravity theories (ESGTs). We use the N = 4 ESGT . to demonstrate that these symmetries do not commute and exhibit the infinite dimensional superinvariance algebra generated by them in the rigid limit. Using this result, we look for unitary representations of the full algebra. We discuss the implic...

We consider the possibility of constraining decaying dark matter by looking out through the Milky Way halo. Specifically we use Chandra blank sky observations to constrain the parameter space of sterile neutrinos. We find that a broad band in parameter space is still open, leaving the sterile neutrino as an excellent dark matter candidate. Subject headings: dark matter — elementary particles — ...

Using concepts of physics of elementary particles concerning the breaking of symmetry and grannd unified theory we propose to study with the algebraic approximation the degeneracy finded in the genetic code with the incorporation of a horizontal symmetry used in gauge theories to fit the contents of the multiplets of the genetic code. It is used the algebraic approch of Hornos et. al. [1, 2, 3,...

With high energy heavy ion collisions one tries to create a new forms of matter that is similar to the one present at the birth of our Universe. Recent development on flow pattern, initial energy-density and freeze-out temperature shows that most likely this new form of matter is in a deconfined state, has colored degrees of freedom and is more fluid-like than gas-like. In present paper we calc...

Extensions of the Standard Model of elementary particle physics to noncommutative geometries have been proposed as a low energy limit of string models. Independent of this motivation, one may consider such a model as an effective field theory with higher-dimensional operators containing an antisymmetric rank-two background field. We study the signals of such a Noncommutative Standard Model (NCS...

We re-examine the sensitivity of solar neutrino oscillations to noise in the solar interior using the best current estimates of neutrino properties. Our results show that the measurement of neutrino properties at KamLAND provides new information about fluctuations in the solar environment on scales to which standard helioseismic constraints are largely insensitive. We also show how the determin...
