hep-ph/0512234 [abs, ps, pdf, other] :: Title: Constraining Mass Spectra with Sterile Neutrinos from Neutrinoless Double Beta Decay, Tritium Beta Decay and Cosmology
Authors: Srubabati Goswami, Werner Rodejohann
Comments: 40 pages, 9 figures. Minor changes, matches version in PRD

We analyze the constraints on neutrino mass spectra with extra sterile neutrinos as implied by the LSND experiment. The various mass related observables in neutrinoless double beta decay, tritium beta decay and cosmology are discussed. Both neutrino oscillation results as well as recent cosmological neutrino mass bounds are taken into account. We find that some of the allowed mass patterns are severely restricted by the current constraints, in particular by the cosmological constraints on the total sum of neutrino masses and by the non-maximality of the solar neutrino mixing angle. Furthermore, we estimate the form of the four neutrino mass matrices and also comment on the situation in scenarios with two additional sterile neutrinos.
hep-ph/0603255 [abs, ps, pdf, other] :: Title: Identifying the curvaton within MSSM
Authors: Rouzbeh Allahverdi, Kari Enqvist, Asko Jokinen, Anupam Mazumdar
Comments: 9 pages

We consider inflaton couplings to MSSM flat directions and the thermalization of the inflaton decay products, taking into account gauge symmetry breaking due to flat direction condensates. We then search for a suitable curvaton candidate among the flat directions, requiring an early thermally induced start for the flat direction oscillations to facilitate the necessary curvaton energy density dominance. We demonstrate that the supersymmetry breaking $A$-term is crucial for achieving a successful curvaton scenario. Among the many possible candidates, we identify the ${\bf u_1dd}$ flat direction as a viable MSSM curvaton.

Authors: D. N. Aguilera, D. Blaschke, H. Grigorian, N. N. Scoccola
Comments: 7 pages, 7 figures, 1 table, revised version, typos removed, references added

We consider the color spin locking (CSL) phase of two-flavor quark matter at zero temperature for nonlocal instantaneous, separable interactions. We employ a Lorentzian-type formfactor allowing a parametric interpolation between the sharp (Nambu-Jona-Lasinio (NJL) model) and very smooth (e.g. Gaussian) cut-off models for systematic studies of the influence on the CSL condensate the deviation from the NJL model entails. This smoothing of the NJL model formfactor shows advantageous features for the phenomenology of compact stars: (i) a lowering of the critical chemical potential for the onset of the chiral phase transition as a prerequisite for stability of hybrid stars with extended quark matter cores and (ii) a reduction of the smallest pairing gap to the order of 100 keV, being in the range of values interesting for phenomenological studies of hybrid star cooling evolution.

gr-qc/0605107 [abs, ps, pdf, other] :: Title: Gauge-invariant Formulation of the Second-order Cosmological Perturbations
Authors: Kouji Nakamura
Comments: 4 pages, no figure. RevTeX
Subj-class: General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology; Mathematical Physics

Gauge invariant treatments of the second order cosmological perturbation in a four dimensional homogeneous isotropic universe filled with the perfect fluid are completely formulated without any gauge fixing. We derive all components of the Einstein equations in the case where the first order vector and tensor modes are negligible. These equations imply that the tensor and the vector mode of the second order metric perturbations may be generated by the scalar-scalar mode coupling of the linear order perturbations as the result of the non-linear effects of the Einstein equations.

Authors: Kouji Nakamura
Comments: 58 pages, no figure. Complete version of gr-qc/0605107
Subj-class: General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology; Mathematical Physics

Along the general framework of the gauge invariant perturbation theory developed in the papers [K. Nakamura, Prog. Theor. Phys. {\bf 110} (2003), 723; {\it ibid}, {\bf 113} (2005), 481.], we formulate the second order gauge invariant cosmological perturbation theory in a four dimensional homogeneous isotropic universe. We consider the perturbations both in the universe dominated by the single perfect fluid and in that dominated by the single scalar field. We derive the all components of the Einstein equations in the case where the first order vector and tensor modes are negligible. All equations are derived in terms of gauge invariant variables without any gauge fixing. These equations imply that the second order vector and tensor modes may be generated due to the mode-mode coupling of the linear order scalar perturbations. We also briefly discuss the main progress of this work by the comparison with some literatures.
hep-ph/0605120 [abs, ps, pdf, other] :: Title: Direct Detection of Supersymmetric Particles in Neutrino Telescopes
Authors: Ivone F. M. Albuquerque, Gustavo Burdman, Z. Chacko
Comments: 11 pages, 9 figures

In supersymmetric theories where the lightest supersymmetric particle is the gravitino the next to lightest supersymmetric particle is typically a long lived charged slepton. In this paper, following our earlier proposal, we perform a detailed study of the production of pairs of these particles induced by the interactions of high energy cosmic neutrinos with nucleons in the earth, their propagation through the earth and finally their detection in neutrino telescopes. We investigate the charged slepton energy loss in detail and establish that the relatively small cross-section for the production of supersymmetric particles is partially compensated for by the very long range of these heavy particles. The signal, consisting of two parallel charged tracks emerging from the earth, is characterized by a large track separation peaking at a few hundred meters. We perform a careful analysis of the main background, coming from direct di-muon production, and show that it can be separated from the signal due to its characteristically smaller track separation. We conclude that neutrino telescopes will complement collider searches in the determination of the supersymmetry breaking scale, and may even provide the first evidence for supersymmetry at the weak scale.
hep-ph/0605209 [abs, ps, pdf, other] :: Title: On the hadronic contribution to sterile neutrino production
Authors: Takehiko Asaka, Mikko Laine, Mikhail Shaposhnikov
Comments: 28 pages

Sterile neutrinos with masses in the keV range are considered to be a viable candidate for warm dark matter. The rate of their production through active-sterile neutrino transitions peaks, however, at temperatures of the order of the QCD scale, which makes it difficult to estimate their relic abundance quantitatively, even if the mass of the sterile neutrino and its mixing angle were known. We derive here a relation, valid to all orders in the strong coupling constant, which expresses the production rate in terms of the spectral function associated with active neutrinos. The latter can in turn be expressed as a certain convolution of the spectral functions related to various mesonic current-current correlation functions, which are being actively studied in other physics contexts. In the naive weak coupling limit, the appropriate Boltzmann equations can be derived from our general formulae.

Comments: 19 pages latex, 11 eps figures incorporated

We consider solutions of the cosmological equations pertaining to a dissipative, dilaton-driven off-equilibrium Liouville Cosmological model, which may describe the effective field theoretic limit of a non-critical string model of the Universe. The non-criticality may be the result of an early-era catastrophic cosmic event, such as a big-bang, brane-world collision etc. The evolution of the various cosmological parameters of the model are obtained, and the effects of the dilaton and off-shell Liouville terms, including briefly those on relic densities, which distinguish the model from conventional cosmologies, are emphasised.

Comments: 4 pages, 4 figures

The reaction 13C(alpha,n) is considered to be the main source of neutrons for the s-process in AGB stars. At low energies the cross section is dominated by the 1/2+ 6.356 MeV sub-threshold resonance in 17O whose contribution is determined with a very large uncertainty of ~1000% at stellar temperatures. In this work we performed the most precise determination of the low-energy astrophysical S factor using the indirect asymptotic normalization (ANC) technique. The alpha-particle ANC for the sub-threshold state has been measured using the sub-Coulomb alpha-transfer reaction (6Li,d). Using the determined ANC we calculated S(0), which turns out to be an order of magnitude smaller than in the NACRE compilation.

gr-qc/0605113 [abs, ps, pdf, other] :: Title: Avoidance of future singularities in loop quantum cosmology
Authors: M. Sami, Parampreet Singh, Shinji Tsujikawa
Comments: 6 pages, 2 figures

We consider the fate of future singularities in the effective dynamics of loop quantum cosmology. Non-perturbative quantum geometric effects which lead to $\rho^2$ modification of the Friedmann equation at high energies result in generic resolution of singularities whenever energy density $\rho$ diverges at future singularities of Friedmann dynamics. Such quantum effects lead to the avoidance of a Big Rip, which is followed by a recollapsing universe stable against perturbations. Resolution of sudden singularity, the case when pressure diverges but energy density approaches a finite value depends on the ratio of the latter to a critical energy density of the order of Planck. If the value of this ratio is greater than unity, the universe escapes the sudden future singularity and becomes oscillatory.

Authors: Zsolt Horváth, Zoltán Kovács, László Á. Gergely
Comments: 10 pages

The spherically symmetric, static spacetime generated by a crossflow of non-interacting radiation streams, treated in the geometrical optics limit (null dust) is equivalent to an anisotropic fluid forming a stellar atmosphere. This reference fluid provides a preferred / internal time, which is employed as a canonical coordinate. Among the advantages we encounter a new Hamiltonian constraint, which becomes linear in the momentum conjugate to the internal time (therefore yielding a functional Schr\"{o}dinger equation after quantization), and a strongly commuting algebra of the new constraints.
hep-ph/0605218 [abs, ps, pdf, other] :: Title: Testing the Unitarity of the CKM Matrix with a Space-Based Neutron Decay Experiment
Authors: Michael Martin Nieto, William C. Feldman, David J. Lawrence
Comments: 10 pages, 4 figures

If the Standard Model is correct, and fundamental fermions exist only in the three generations, then the CKM matrix should be unitary. However, there remain questions over 2+ standard deviations from unitarity in the various data sets, in part from the value of the neutron lifetime. We discuss a simple space-based experiment that, at an orbit height of 500 km above Earth, would measure the kinetic-energy, solid-angle, flux spectrum of gravitationally bound neutrons (kinetic energy K<0.606 eV at this altitude). The difference between the energy spectrum of neutrons that come up from the Earth's atmosphere and that of the undecayed neutrons that return back down to the Earth would yield a measurement of the neutron lifetime. This measurement would be free of the systematics of laboratory experiments. A package of mass <25 kg could provide a 10^{-3} precision in two years.
hep-ph/0605219 [abs, ps, pdf, other] :: Title: Neutrino Telescopes as a Probe of Broken $\mu$-$\tau$ Symmetry
Authors: Zhi-zhong Xing
Comments: 10 pages, 1 figure

It is known that neutrino oscillations may map $\phi_e : \phi_\mu : \phi_\tau = 1 : 2 : 0$, the initial flavor ratios of ultrahigh-energy neutrino fluxes produced from a distant astrophysical source, into $\phi^D_e : \phi^D_\mu : \phi^D_\tau = 1 : 1 : 1$ at the detector of a neutrino telescope. We remark that this naive expectation is only valid in the $\mu$-$\tau$ symmetry limit, in which two neutrino mixing angles satisfy $\theta_{13} = 0$ and $\theta_{23} = \pi/4$. Allowing for the slight breaking of $\mu$-$\tau$ symmetry, we find $\phi^D_e : \phi^D_\mu : \phi^D_\tau = (1 -2 \Delta) : (1 +\Delta) : (1 +\Delta)$ with $\Delta$ characterizing the combined effect of $\theta_{13} \neq 0$ and $\theta_{23} \neq \pi/4$. Current neutrino oscillation data indicate $-0.1 \lesssim \Delta \lesssim +0.1$. We also look at the possibility to probe $\Delta$ by detecting the $\bar{\nu}_e$ flux of $E_{\bar{\nu}_e} \approx 6.3 {\rm PeV}$ via the Glashow resonance channel $\bar{\nu}_e e \to W^- \to anything$.

gr-qc/0605118 [abs, ps, pdf, other] :: Title: Quasinormal ringing of Kerr black holes. I. The excitation factors
Authors: Emanuele Berti, Vitor Cardoso
Comments: 31 pages, 7 figures, 7 tables, RevTeX4
Subj-class: General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology; Space Physics

Distorted black holes radiate gravitational waves. In the so-called ringdown phase radiation is emitted in a discrete set of complex quasinormal frequencies, whose values depend only on the black hole's mass and angular momentum. Ringdown radiation could be detectable with large signal-to-noise ratio by the Laser Interferometer Space Antenna LISA. If more than one mode is detected, tests of the black hole nature of the source become possible. The detectability of different modes depends on their relative excitation, which in turn depends on the cause of the perturbation (i.e. on the initial data). A ``universal'', initial data-independent measure of the relative mode excitation is encoded in the poles of the Green's function that propagates small perturbations of the geometry (``excitation factors''). We compute for the first time the excitation factors for general-spin perturbations of Kerr black holes. We find that for corotating modes with $l=m$ the excitation factors tend to zero in the extremal limit, and that the contribution of the overtones should be more significant when the black hole is fast rotating. We also present the first analytical calculation of the large-damping asymptotics of the excitation factors for static black holes, including the Schwarzschild and Reissner-Nordstrom metrics. This is an important step to determine the convergence properties of the quasinormal mode expansion.
hep-ph/0605243 [abs, ps, pdf, other] :: Title: Big Bang Nucleosynthesis with Long Lived Charged Massive Particles
Authors: Kazunori Kohri, Fumihiro Takayama
Comments: 19 pages, 6 figures

We consider Big Bang Nucleosynthesis (BBN) with long lived charged massive particles. Before decaying, the long lived charged particle recombines with a light element to form a bound state like a hydrogen atom. This effect modifies the nuclear reaction rates during the BBN epoch through the modifications of the Coulomb field and the kinematics of the captured light elements, which can change the light element abundances. It is possible that the heavier nuclei abundances such as $^7$Li and $^7$Be decrease sizably, while the ratios $Y_p$, D/H, and $^3$He/H remain unchanged. This may solve the current discrepancy between the BBN prediction and the observed abundance of $^7$Li. If future collider experiments found signals of a long-lived charged particle inside the detector, the information of its lifetime and decay properties could provide insights to understand not only the particle physics models but also the phenomena in the early universe in turn.
hep-th/0605189 [abs, ps, pdf, other] :: Title: DBI Inflation in the Tip Region of a Warped Throat
Authors: Steven Kecskemeti, John Maiden, Gary Shiu, Bret Underwood
Comments: 26 pages, 1 figure

Previous work on DBI inflation, which achieves inflation through the motion of a D3 brane as it moves through a warped throat compactification, has focused on the region far from the tip of the throat. Matching results to measured cosmological observables leads us to consider inflation ending near the tip of the warped throat, where the geometry is nearly constant. We find that one can obtain 60 or more e-folds in the tip region, however large non-gaussianities are typically produced due to the small sound speed of fluctuations. For a particular well-studied throat, the Klebanov-Strassler solution, we find that for inflation near the tip it is difficult to satisfy current bounds on non-gaussianity, but other throat solutions may evade these difficulties.
hep-th/0605206 [abs, ps, pdf, other] :: Title: Axions In String Theory
Authors: Peter Svrcek, Edward Witten
Comments: 62 pages

In the context of string theory, axions appear to provide the most plausible solution of the strong CP problem. However, as has been known for a long time, in many string-based models, the axion coupling parameter F_a is several orders of magnitude higher than the standard cosmological bounds. We re-examine this problem in a variety of models, showing that F_a is close to the GUT scale or above in many models that have GUT-like phenomenology, as well as some that do not. On the other hand, in some models with Standard Model gauge fields supported on vanishing cycles, it is possible for F_a to be well below the GUT scale.
hep-th/0605229 [abs, ps, pdf, other] :: Title: Quantum phantom cosmology
Authors: Mariusz P. Dabrowski, Claus Kiefer, Barbara Sandhoefer
Comments: 21 pages, 6 figures

We apply the formalism of quantum cosmology to models containing a phantom field. Three models are discussed explicitly: a toy model, a model with an exponential phantom potential, and a model with phantom field accompanied by a negative cosmological constant. In all these cases we calculate the classical trajectories in configuration space and give solutions to the Wheeler-DeWitt equation in quantum cosmology. In the cases of the toy model and the model with exponential potential we are able to solve the Wheeler-DeWitt equation exactly. For comparison, we also give the corresponding solutions for an ordinary scalar field. We discuss in particular the behaviour of wave packets in minisuperspace. For the phantom field these packets disperse in the region that corresponds to the Big Rip singularity. This thus constitutes a genuine quantum region at large scales, described by a regular solution of the Wheeler-DeWitt equation. For the ordinary scalar field, the Big-Bang singularity is avoided. Some remarks on the arrow of time in phantom models as well as on the relation of phantom models to loop quantum cosmology are given.

gr-qc/0605111 [abs, ps, pdf, other] :: Title: Does Cassini allow to measure relativistic orbital effects in the Saturnian system of natural satellites?
Authors: Lorenzo Iorio
Comments: Latex2e, 5 pages, no figures, 4 tables

In this paper we address the following question: do the recent advances in the orbit determination of the major natural satellites of Saturn obtained with the analysis of the first data sets from the Cassini mission allow to detect the general relativistic gravitoelectric orbital precessions of such moons? The answer is still negative. The present-day down-track accuracy would be adequate for Mimas, Enceladus, Thetys, Dione, Rhea and Titan and inadequate for Hyperion, Iapetus and Phoebe. Instead, the size of the systematic errors induced by the mismodelling in the key parameters of the Saturnian gravitational field like the even zonal harmonics Jl are larger than the relativistic down-track shifts by about one order of magnitude, mainly for the inner satellites like Mimas, Enceladus, Thetys, Dione, Rhea, Titan and Hyperion. Iapetus and Phoebe are not sensibly affected by such kind of perturbations. Moreover, the bias due to the uncertainty in Saturn's GM is larger than the relativistic down-track effects for all such moons. Proposed linear combinations of the satellites' orbital elements would allow to cancel out the impact of the mismodelling in the low-degree even zonal harmonics and GM, but the combined down-track errors would be larger than the combined relativistic signature.

Subj-class: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology; Instrumentation and Detectors

The time dependent neutrino oscillation signals due to the passage of a shock wave through the supernovae are analyzed for the case of three active neutrinos and also for the case that there are two additional sterile neutrinos. It is shown that, even without flavour identification and energy measurement, detailed information about the masses and mixing angles of the neutrinos may be obtained with a detector with excellent time resolution such as IceCube. Such a signal would also give important information about the nature of the shock wave within the supernovae.

Authors: Bjorn Garbrecht, Constantinos Pallis, Apostolos Pilaftsis
Comments: 72 pages, LaTeX, 12 figures

We analyze the cosmological implications of F-term hybrid inflation with a subdominant Fayet--Iliopoulos D-term whose presence explicitly breaks a D-parity in the inflaton-waterfall sector. This scenario of inflation, which is called F_D-term hybrid model for brevity, can naturally predict lepton number violation at the electroweak scale, by tying the mu-parameter of the MSSM to an SO(3)-symmetric Majorana mass m_N, via the vacuum expectation value of the inflaton field. We show how a negative Hubble-induced mass term in a next-to-minimal extension of supergravity helps to accommodate the present CMB data and considerably weaken the strict constraints on the theoretical parameters, resulting from cosmic string effects on the power spectrum P_R. The usual gravitino overabundance constraint may be significantly relaxed in this model, once the enormous entropy release from the late decays of the ultraheavy waterfall gauge particles is properly considered. As the Universe enters a second thermalization phase involving a very low reheat temperature, which might be as low as about 0.3 TeV, thermal electroweak-scale resonant leptogenesis provides a viable mechanism for successful baryogenesis, while thermal right-handed sneutrinos emerge as new possible candidates for solving the cold dark matter problem. In~addition, we discuss grand unified theory realizations of F_D-term hybrid inflation devoid of cosmic strings and monopoles, based on the complete breaking of an SU(2) subgroup. The F_D-term hybrid model offers rich particle-physics phenomenology, which could be probed at high-energy colliders, as well as in low-energy experiments of lepton flavour or number violation.
