The width for the mu decay is calculated in the V-A theory leaving open the possibility of non zero neutrino masses. It is shown that not only the agreement with the experimental data is kept, but the smallness of the experimental error…
We present a family of \textit{Gaussian Mixture Approximation} (GMA) samplers for sampling unnormalised target densities, encompassing \textit{weights-only GMA} (W-GMA), \textit{Laplace Mixture Approximation} (LMA),…
We discuss possible non-standard contributions to the top-quark width, particularly the virtual effects on the standard decay $t\rightarrow W^+\,b$ within the context of the MSSM. We also place a renewed emphasis on the unconventional mode…
Threshold corrections to the bottom quark mass are often estimated under the approximation that tan$\beta$ enhanced contributions are the most dominant. In this work we revisit this common approximation made to the estimation of the…
In this paper we obtain constraints on the cosmological density parameters, \Omega_m and \Omega_b, by comparing the preliminary measurement of the QSO power spectrum from the two degree field QSO redshift survey with results from an…
The near-threshold behavior of the ppbar invariant mass spectrum from the J/psi -> omega ppbar decay reported recently by the BES Collaboration is analyzed. Contrary to the statement made by the BES Collaboration itself our study…
A chiral field theory of mesons has been applied to study the contribution of the current quark masses to the $\pi^0\rightarrow\gamma\gamma$ decay width at the next leading order. $2\%$ enhancement has been predicted and there is no new…
B physics represents a privileged place to look for supersymmetry (SUSY) through its virtual effects. Here we discuss rare B decays ($b \to s \gamma$, $b \to s g$, $b \to s l^{+} l^{-}$) and $B-\bar{B}$ oscillations in the context of…
Motivated by evidence that the top quark mass lies near the $bWZ$ threshold, we compute the decay rate for $t\rightarrow bWZ$ in the Standard Model, including the effects of the finite widths of the $W$ and $Z$ bosons. In the limit where…
We consider stochastic approximations which arise from such applications as data communications and image processing. We demonstrate why constraints are needed in a stochastic approximation and how a constrained approximation can be…
Besides their intrinsic nuclear-structure value, nuclear mass models are essential for astrophysical applications, such as r-process nucleosynthesis and neutron-star structure. To overcome the intrinsic limitations of existing…
We improve the current predictions of the standard model for neutron beta decay observables and compare them with the currently available ones. Next we study their implications in the possible detection of new physics. We discuss where the…
The wealth of experimental data collected at laboratory experiments suggests that there is some scale separation between the Standard Model (SM) and phenomena beyond the SM (BSM). New phenomena can manifest itself as small corrections to SM…
We provide a detailed description and analysis of a low-scale short-distance mass scheme, called the MSR mass, that is useful for high-precision top quark mass determinations, but can be applied for any heavy quark $Q$. In contrast to…
Millimeter-wave massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) can use a lens antenna array to considerably reduce the number of radio frequency (RF) chains, but channel estimation is challenging due to the number of RF chains is much…
We compute the $O(\beta_0 \alpha_s^2)$ QCD corrections to the Standard Model decay $t\rightarrow W^+ b$ as well as the non standard decay $t\rightarrow H^+ b$. We then use our results to compute the BLM scale for these decays, and study the…
An introduction to the minimal supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM) is given. The motivation for ``low-energy'' supersymmetry is reviewed, and the structure of the MSSM is outlined. In its most general form, the MSSM can be viewed as a…
Let $\Gamma$ be an $n\times m$ matrix with independent standard Gaussian entries and let $G_m = \Gamma(B_1^m)$ be the associated Gaussian Gluskin polytope (equivalently, a random $n$-dimensional quotient of $\ell_1^m$). In the regime $m =…
We estimate \Delta Gamma_d/\Gamma_d, including 1/m_b contributions and part of the next-to-leading order QCD corrections, and find it to be around 0.3%. We show the methods to measure \Delta Gamma_d/\Gamma_d by using at least two different…
We evaluate the O(alpha_em/alpha_s) correction to the rate of B -> X_s gamma decay, i.e. we resum all the 0[ alpha_em ln M_W^2/m_b^2 x (alpha_s ln M_W^2/m_b^2)^n ] corrections for n=0,1,2,... Our calculation differs from the previously…
