Spin-state ordering - a periodic pattern of ions with different spin-state configurations along a crystal lattice - is a rare phenomenon, and its possible interrelation with other electronic degrees of freedom remains little explored. Here…
Exploiting $B$-meson decays for Standard Model tests and beyond requires a precise understanding of the strong final-state interactions that can be provided model-independently by means of dispersion theory. This formalism allows one to…
We construct D=4 Type I vacua with massless content remarkably close to that of the standard model of particle physics. They are tachyon-free non-supersymmetric models which are obtained starting with a standard D=4, N=1 compact Type IIB…
In this article, we bypass the detailed symmetry breaking pathways established in [1]. Instead, a direct route from the Spin(10) model to the Standard Model is enabled via a single algebraic constraint. This single constraint, however, may…
We review mixing and CP violation in $D$ mesons, emphasizing the differences with the other pseudoscalar mesons in the Standard Model, and show that $D$ mesons can be useful to look for physics beyond the Standard Model.
We present a minimal see-saw model based on an extension of the standard model (SM) which includes an additional U(1), with gauge charge $B - \frac{3}{2} (L_\mu + L_\tau)$. Requirement of anomaly cancellation implies the existence of two…
Intersecting Dp-branes often give rise to chiral fermions living on their intersections. We study the construction of four-dimensional chiral gauge theories by considering configurations of type II D(3+n)-branes wrapped on non-trivial…
We propose a bottom-up approach to the building of particle physics models from string theory. Our building blocks are Type II D-branes which we combine appropriately to reproduce desirable features of a particle theory model: 1) Chirality…
We propose a new method to determine the mass and width differences of the two D meson mass-eigenstates as well as the CP violating parameters associated with D^0-\bar{D}^0 mixing. We show that an accurate measurement of all the mixing…
An extension of the Standard Model to the local gauge group $SU(3)_c\otimes SU(3)_L\otimes U(1)_X$ which is a subgroup of the electroweak-strong unification group $E_6$ is analyzed. The mass scales, the gauge boson masses, and the masses…
We investigate the isospin symmetry breaking effects within a recently derived Nambu-Jona-Lasinio related model by fitting the measured pseudoscalar meson masses and weak decay couplings $f_\pi$, $f_K$. Our model contains the next to…
Calculations for spin-phonon coupling constants in CuGeO3 are presented, applying fourth order superexchange perturbation theory to an extended Hubbard model. In our treatment, the intermediate oxygen ligand states are described by…
The odd-parity spin-triplet Cooper pairing states show a six-fold degeneracy for a quasi-two-dimensional electron system. In this article we show how spin-orbit coupling can lift this degeneracy for Sr_2RuO_4 taking the band structure based…
The search for $D^0\bar{D}^0$ mixing may carry a large discovery potential for new physics since the $D^0\bar{D}^0$ mixing rate is expected to be small in the Standard Model. This paper gives a brief review of the experimental techniques…
The implications of Chiral Quark Model with SU(3) and axial U(1) symmetry breakings as well as configuration mixing generated by one gluon exchange forces ($\chi$QM$_{gcm}$) are discussed in context of proton flavor and spin structure as…
We propose a new method to extract $D^0-\bar{D}^0$ mixing parameters using the $D^0 \to \bar{K}{}^0 \pi^0$ decay with the $\bar{K}{}^0$ reconstructed in the semileptonic mode. Although a $K^0 \to \pi^\pm l^\mp \nu_l$ decay suffers from low…
We compute the hadronic matrix elements of the four-quark operators needed for the study of $K^0-{\bar K^0}$ mixing beyond the Standard Model. We have used $n_f=2+1$ flavours of domain wall fermion (DWF) at two values of the lattice spacing…
The recent discovery of a spin-0 Brout-Englert-Higgs boson leads to further enquire about other fundamental scalars. Supersymmetric theories involve, in relation with the electroweak breaking, five such scalars at least, two charged and…
We present evidence for D0-anti-D0 mixing in D0 --> K+pi- decays from 384 fb^{-1} of e+e- colliding-beam data recorded near sqrt(s) 10.6 GeV with the BaBar detector at the PEP-II storage rings at SLAC. We find the mixing parameters x'^2 =…
We review the status of the standard model predictions for $D$-mixing and CP-violation in mixing.
