We construct a hybrid inflationary model associated with the superheavy scale MX ≃ 2 × 1016 GeV of the minimal supersymmetric standard model which is based on the simplest superpotential for symmetry breaking and in which the inflaton potential along the inflationary trajectory is essentially provided by quasi-canonical supergravity. The resulting spectrum of adiabatic density pertubations is b...

We study the influence of equation-of-state (EOS) model on the interpretation of electrical conductivity measurements in strongly coupled plasma of tungsten by Korobenko et al. (2002 Plasma Physics Reports 28(12) 1008–1016). Three different semiempirical EOS models for tungsten are used. Discrepancies in obtained thermodynamic parameters and specific resistivity values as compared with calculat...

In article number 2200598 by Dambarudhar Mohanta and co-workers, the implantation-led bubbling effects of 15 keV He2+ ions (fluence ~1015–1016 cm−2) in bulk polycrystalline WS2 are reported. The results as regards surface morphology, Raman signature, core-level spectra pristine irradiated discussed conjunction with sheet exfoliation altered constructs.

We construct a hybrid inflationary model associated with the superheavy scale MX ∼ 1016 GeV of supersymmetric grand unified theories in which the inflaton potential is provided entirely by canonical supergravity. We find that the spectrum of adiabatic density perturbations is characterized by a strongly varying spectral index which is considerably larger than unity. Moreover, the total number o...

We consider orbifold GUTs with N = 1 supersymmetry in which the Standard Model (SM) gauge couplings are unified at MGUT ≃ 2×1016 GeV with one of the third family (charged) Yukawa couplings. With split supersymmetry the SM Higgs mass is estimated to be 131±10 GeV for gauge-top quark Yukawa unification, which increases to 146± 8 GeV for gauge-bottom quark (or gauge-tau lepton) Yukawa unification....
