hep-ph/0611121 [abs, ps, pdf, other] :: Title: Lepton asymmetry in the primordial gravitational wave spectrum
Authors: Kiyotomo Ichiki, Masahide Yamaguchi, Jun'Ichi Yokoyama
Comments: 14 pages, 5 figures

Effects of neutrino free streaming is evaluated on the primordial spectrum of gravitational radiation taking both neutrino chemical potential and masses into account. The former or the lepton asymmetry induces two competitive effects, namely, to increase anisotropic pressure, which damps the gravitational wave more, and to delay the matter-radiation equality time, which reduces the damping. The latter effect is more prominent and a large lepton asymmetry would reduce the damping. We may thereby be able to measure the magnitude of lepton asymmetry from the primordial gravitational wave spectrum.

Authors: J. Rikovska-Stone (1), P.A.M. Guichon (2), H.H. Matevosyan (3), A.W. Thomas (3) ((1) Un. of Oxford (2) CEA Saclay (3) JLab USA)

A new density dependent effective baryon-baryon interaction has been recently derived from the quark-meson-coupling (QMC) model, offering impressive results in application to finite nuclei and dense baryon matter. This self-consistent, relativistic quark-level approach is used to construct the Equation of State (EoS) and to calculate key properties of high density matter and cold, slowly rotating neutron stars. The results include predictions for the maximum mass of neutron star models, together with the corresponding radius and central density, as well the properties of neutron stars with mass of order 1.4 $M_\odot$. The cooling mechanism allowed by the QMC EoS is explored and the parameters relevant to slow rotation, namely the moment of inertia and the period of rotation investigated. The results of the calculation, which are found to be in good agreement with available observational data, are compared with the predictions of more traditional EoS. The QMC EoS provides cold neutron star models with maximum mass 1.9--2.1 M$_\odot$, with central density less than 6 times nuclear saturation density ($n_{0}= 0.16 {\rm fm}^{-3}$) and offers a consistent description of the stellar mass up to this density limit. In contrast with other models, QMC predicts no hyperon contribution at densities lower than $3n_0$, for matter in $\beta$-equilibrium. At higher densities, $\Xi^{-,0}$ and $\Lambda$ hyperons are present.

hep-ph/0611065 [abs, ps, pdf, other] :: Title: The Interplay Between Collider Searches For Supersymmetric Higgs Bosons and Direct Dark Matter Experiments
Authors: Marcela Carena, Dan Hooper, Alberto Vallinotto
Comments: 22 pages, 28 figures

In this article, we explore the interplay between searches for supersymmetric particles and Higgs bosons at hadron colliders (the Tevatron and the LHC) and direct dark matter searches (such as CDMS, ZEPLIN, XENON, EDELWEISS, CRESST, WARP and others). We focus on collider searches for heavy MSSM Higgs bosons ($A$, $H$, $H^{\pm}$) and how the prospects for these searches are impacted by direct dark matter limits and vice versa. We find that the prospects of these two experimental programs are highly interrelated. A positive detection of $A$, $H$ or $H^{\pm}$ at the Tevatron would dramatically enhance the prospects for a near future direct discovery of neutralino dark matter. Similarly, a positive direct detection of neutralino dark matter would enhance the prospects of discovering heavy MSSM Higgs bosons at the Tevatron or the LHC. Combining the information obtained from both types of experimental searches will enable us to learn more about the nature of supersymmetry.
hep-th/0610274 [abs, ps, pdf, other] :: Title: Non-perturbative Gravity, Hagedorn Bounce & CMB
Authors: Tirthabir Biswas, Robert Brandenberger, Anupam Mazumdar, Warren Siegel
Comments: 25 pages, 1 figure

In hep-th/0508194 it was shown how non-perturbative corrections to gravity can resolve the big bang singularity, leading to a bouncing universe. Depending on the scale of the non-perturbative corrections, the temperature at the bounce may be close to or higher than the Hagedorn temperature. If matter is made up of strings, then massive string states will be excited near the bounce, and the bounce will occur inside (or at the onset of) the Hagedorn phase for string matter. As we discuss in this paper, in this case cosmological fluctuations can be generated via the string gas mechanism recently proposed in hep-th/0511140. In fact, the model discussed here demonstrates explicitly that it is possible to realize the assumptions made in hep-th/0511140 in the context of a concrete set of dynamical background equations. We also calculate the spectral tilt of thermodynamic stringy fluctuations generated in the Hagedorn regime in this bouncing universe scenario. Generally we find a scale-invariant spectrum with a red tilt which is very small but does not vanish.
hep-th/0611071 [abs, ps, pdf, other] :: Title: Modified gravity and its reconstruction from the universe expansion history
Authors: Shin'ichi Nojiri, Sergei D. Odintsov
Comments: LaTeX file, 24 pages, no figure, prepared for the proceedings of ERE 2006

We develop the reconstruction program for the number of modified gravities: scalar-tensor theory, $f(R)$, $F(G)$ and string-inspired, scalar-Gauss-Bonnet gravity. The known (classical) universe expansion history is used for the explicit and successful reconstruction of some versions (of special form or with specific potentials) from all above modified gravities. It is demonstrated that cosmological sequence of matter dominance, decceleration-acceleration transition and acceleration era may always emerge as cosmological solutions of such theory. Moreover, the late-time dark energy FRW universe may have the approximate or exact $\Lambda$CDM form consistent with three years WMAP data. The principal possibility to extend this reconstruction scheme to include the radiation dominated era and inflation is briefly mentioned. Finally, it is indicated how even modified gravity which does not describe the matter-dominated epoch may have such a solution before acceleration era at the price of the introduction of compensating dark energy.

hep-ph/0611152 [abs, ps, pdf, other] :: Title: Baryon asymmetry from hypermagnetic helicity in dilaton hypercharge electromagnetism
Authors: Kazuharu Bamba
Comments: 16 pages, 2 figures

The generation of the baryon asymmetry of the Universe (BAU) from the hypermagnetic helicity, the physical interpretation of which is given in terms of hypermagnetic knots, is studied in inflationary cosmology, taking into account the breaking of the conformal invariance of hypercharge electromagnetic fields through both a coupling with the dilaton and that with a pseudoscalar field. It is shown that if the electroweak phase transition (EWPT) is strongly first order and the present amplitude of the generated magnetic fields on the horizon scale is sufficiently large, a baryon asymmetry with a sufficient magnitude to account for the observed baryon to entropy ratio can be generated.
hep-th/0611130 [abs, ps, pdf, other] :: Title: Why the early Universe preferred the non-supersymmetric vacuum: Part II
Authors: Steven A. Abel, Joerg Jaeckel, Valentin V. Khoze
Comments: 15 pages, 6 figures

It was recently shown in hep-th/0610334 that in the context of the ISS models with a metastable supersymmetry breaking vacuum, thermal effects generically drive the Universe to the metastable vacuum even if it began after inflation in the supersymmetry-preserving one. We continue this programme and specifically take into account two new effects. First is the effect of the mass-gap of the gauge degrees of freedom in the confining supersymmetry preserving vacua, and second, is the effect of the back reaction of the MSSM sector on the SUSY breaking ISS sector. It is shown that, even though the mass-gap is parametrically smaller than the <\phi> vevs, it drastically reduces the temperature required for the Universe to be driven to the metastable vacuum: essentially any temperature larger than the supersymmetry breaking scale \mu is sufficient. On the other hand we also find that any reasonable transmission of SUSY breaking to the MSSM sector has no effect on the vacuum transitions to, and the stability of the SUSY breaking vacuum. We conclude that for these models the early Universe does end up in the SUSY breaking vacuum.
hep-th/0611134 [abs, ps, pdf, other] :: Title: Fermion Production in Strong Magnetic Fields through Anomalous Magnetic Moment
Authors: Hyun Kyu Lee, Yongsung Yoon
Comments: 7 pages with 1 figure

We calculate the explicit form of the real and imaginary parts of the effective potential for a uniform magnetic field which interacts with fermions with anomalous magnetic moments through the Pauli interaction. It is found that the non-vanishing imaginary part develops for a magnetic field stronger than a critical field, which is the ratio of the fermion mass to its anomalous magnetic moment. This implies the instability of the uniform magnetic field to produce fermion pairs with the production rate density $w(x) = \frac{m^{4}}{24\pi} (\frac{|\mu_a |}{m}-1)^3 (\frac{|\mu_a B|}{m}+3)$.

hep-ph/0611126 [abs, ps, pdf, other] :: Title: Neutral color-spin locking phase in neutron stars
Authors: Deborah N. Aguilera
Comments: 3 pages, 4 figures, contribution talk to the IVth International Conference on Quarks and Nuclear Physics(QNP06), Madrid, Spain, 5-10 Jun 2006

We present results for the spin-1 color-spin locking phase (CSL) using a NJL-type model in two flavor quark matter for compact stars applications. The CSL condensate is flavor symmetric and therefore charge and color neutrality can easily be satisfied. We find small energy gaps ~1 MeV, which make the CSL matter composition and the EoS not very different from the normal quark matter phase. We keep finite quark masses in our calculations and obtain no gapless modes that could have strong consequences in the late cooling of neutron stars. Finally, we show that the region of the phase diagram relevant for neutron star cores, when asymmetric flavor pairing is suppressed, could be covered by the CSL phase.

Authors: Mingzhe Li, Jun-Qing Xia, Hong Li, Xinmin Zhang
Comments: 8 pages, 2 figures

In this paper we study the cosmological $CPT$ violation and its implications in baryo/leptogenesis and CMB polarization. We propose specifically a variant of the models of gravitational leptogenesis. By performing a global analysis with the Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) method, we find the current CMB polarization observations from the three-year WMAP (WMAP3) and the 2003 flight of BOOMERANG (B03) data provide a weak evidence for our model. However to verify and especially exclude this type of mechanism for baryo/leptogenesis with cosmological $CPT$ violation, the future measurements on CMB polarization from PLANCK and CMBpol are necessary.
hep-ph/0611194 [abs, ps, pdf, other] :: Title: Determining Neutrino and Supernova Parameters with a Galactic Supernova
Authors: Solveig Skadhauge, Renata Zukanovich Funchal
Comments: 37 pages, 13 figures

We investigate the sensitivity of some of the proposed next-generation neutrino experiments to a galactic supernova. In particular, we study how well the supernova parameters (the average energies and luminosities) can be separated from the unknown neutrino oscillation parameters ($\theta_{13}$ and the neutrino mass hierarchy). Three types of experiments, all in the megaton class, are compared. These are: a 540 kton water-Cherenkov detector, a 100 kton liquid Argon detector and a 50 kton scintillator detector. We demonstrate that practically all of these proposed detectors have the possibility to determine the hierarchy of the neutrino masses if the angle of $\theta_{13}$ is sufficiently large ($\sin^2(\theta_{13}) > 10^{-4}$) and the hierarchy of the average energies is larger than about 20%. They can at the same time determine some of the supernova parameters well. The average energy of the $\nu_\mu$ and $\nu_\tau$ species can be determined within 5% uncertainty in most of the parameter space suggested by supernova simulations. The detection of several separable channels measuring different combinations of charged current and neutral current processes is crucial for determining the value of $\theta_{13}$ and the hierarchy. However, there are cases where a few of the SN parameters can be determined rather well even if only the main charged current detection channel is available.
hep-th/0610285 [abs, ps, pdf, other] :: Title: A Microscopic Limit on Gravitational Waves from D-brane Inflation
Authors: Daniel Baumann, Liam McAllister
Comments: 8 pages

We derive a microscopic bound on the maximal field variation of the inflaton during warped D-brane inflation. By a result of Lyth, this implies an upper limit on the amount of gravitational waves produced during inflation. We show that a detection at the level $r > 0.01$ would falsify slow roll D-brane inflation. In DBI inflation, detectable tensors may be possible in special compactifications, provided that $r$ decreases rapidly during inflation. We also show that for the special case of DBI inflation with a quadratic potential, current observational constraints imply strong upper bounds on the five-form flux.

Comments: 37 pages, 4 figs; J. Phys. Studies (2006; in press)
Subj-class: Superconductivity; Statistical Mechanics; Materials Science; Strongly Correlated Electrons

Classic and recent results for gauge effects on the properties of the normal-to-superconducting phase transition in bulk and thin film superconductors are reviewed. Similar problems in the description of other natural systems (liquid crystals, quantum field theory, early universe) are also discussed. The relatively strong gauge effects on the fluctuations of the ordering field at low spatial dimensionality D and, in particular, in thin (quasi-2D) films are considered in details. A special attention is paid to the fluctuations of the gauge field. It is shown that the mechanism in which these gauge fluctuations affect on the order of the phase transition and other phase transition properties varies with the variation of the spatial dimensionality D. The problem for the experimental confirmation of the theoretical predictions about the order of the phase transitions in gauge systems is discussed.

Subj-class: General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology; Space Physics

In this paper we put on the test the new mechanism of gravitational origin recently put forth by Jaekel and Reynaud in order to explain the Pioneer anomaly in the framework of their post-Einsteinian metric extension of general relativity. According to such a proposal, the secular part of the anomalous acceleration experienced by the twin spacecraft of about 1 nm s$^{-2}$ could be caused by an extra-potential \delta\Phi_P=c^2\chi r^2, with \chi=4 10^-8 AU^-2, coming from the second sector of the considered model. When applied to the motion of the planets of the Solar System, it would induce anomalous secular perihelion advances which amount to o tens-hundreds of arcseconds per century for the outer planets. As for other previously proposed non-conventional gravitational explanations of the Pioneer anomaly, the answer of the latest observational determinations of the residual perihelion rates by RAS IAA is neatly and unambiguously negative. The presence of another possible candidate to explain the Pioneer anomaly, i.e. the extra-potential \delta\Phi_N, linear in distance, from the first sector of the Jaekel and Reynaud model, is ruled out not only by the residuals of the optical data of the outer planets processed with the recent RAS IAA EPM2004 ephemerides but also by those produced with other, older dynamical theories like, e.g., the well known NASA JPL DE200.

Comments: 8 pages, 4 figures; to appear in Proceedings of SUSY06, the 14th International Conference on Supersymmetry and the Unification of Fundamental Interactions, UC Irvine, California, 12-17 June 2006"

Big Bang Nucleosynthesis (BBN) and the Cosmic Background Radiation (CBR) provide complementary probes of the early evolution of the Universe and of its particle content. Neutrinos play important roles in both cases, influencing the primordial abundances of the nuclides produced by BBN during the first 20 minutes, as well as the spectrum of temperature fluctuations imprinted on the CBR when the Universe is some 400 thousand years old. The physical effects relevant at these widely separated epochs are reviewed and the theoretical predictions are compared with observational data to explore the consistency of the standard models of cosmology and particle physics and to constrain beyond-the-standard-model physics and cosmology.

A new class of semi-analytically solvable MHD alpha^2-dynamos is found based on a global diagonalization of the matrix part of the dynamo differential operator. Close parallels to SUSY QM are used to relate these models to the Dirac equation and to extract non-numerical information about the dynamo spectrum.
