    The Case for Future Hadron Colliders From BK()μ+μB \to K^{(*)} \mu^+ \mu^- Decays

    Full text link
    Recent measurements in BK()μ+μB \to K^{(*)} \mu^+ \mu^- decays are somewhat discrepant with Standard Model predictions. They may be harbingers of new physics at an energy scale potentially accessible to direct discovery. We estimate the sensitivity of future hadron colliders to the possible new particles that may be responsible for the anomalies: leptoquarks or ZZ^\primes. We consider luminosity upgrades for a 14 TeV LHC, a 33 TeV LHC, and a 100 TeV pppp collider such as the FCC-hh. Coverage of ZZ^\prime models is excellent: for narrow particles, with perturbative couplings that may explain the bb-decay results for ZZ^\prime masses up to 20 TeV, a 33 TeV 1 ab1^{-1} LHC is expected to cover most of the parameter space up to 8 TeV in mass, whereas the 100 TeV FCC-hh with 10 ab1^{-1} will cover all of it. A smaller portion of the leptoquark parameter space is covered by future colliders: for example, in a μ+μjj\mu^+\mu^-jj di-leptoquark search, a 100 TeV 10 ab1^{-1} collider has a projected sensitivity up to leptoquark masses of 12 TeV (extendable to 21 TeV with a strong coupling for single leptoquark production), whereas leptoquark masses up to 41 TeV may in principle explain the anomalies.Comment: 24 pages, 10 figures. v2: Improved discussion and references added, version submitted to JHE

    Vortex in a relativistic perfect isentropic fluid and Nambu Goto dynamics

    Full text link
    By a weak deformation of the cylindrical symmetry of the potential vortex in a relativistic perfect isentropic fluid, we study the possible dynamics of the central line of this vortex. In "stiff" material the Nanbu-Goto equations are obtainedComment: 11 pages, Accepted for publication in Physical Review

    Enhancement of singly and multiply strangeness in p-Pb and Pb-Pb collisions at 158A GeV/c

    The idea that the reduction of the strange quark suppression in string fragmentation leads to the enhancement of strange particle yield in nucleus-nucleus collisions is applied to study the singly and multiply strange particle production in p-Pb and Pb-Pb collisions at 158A GeV/c. In this mechanism the strange quark suppression factor is related to the effective string tension, which increases in turn with the increase of the energy, of the centrality and of the mass of colliding system. The WA97 observation that the strange particle enhancement increases with the increasing of centrality and of strange quark content in multiply strange particles in Pb-Pb collisions with respect to p-Pb collisions was accounted reasonably.Comment: 8 pages, 3 PostScript figures, in Latex form. submitted to PR

    Urban Legend Locations of Bandung City Photobook Design

    Full text link
    The city of Bandung has night attractions related to urban legend. The object that has become an urban legend in the city of Bandung comes from famous myths and has meaning. Most urban legend objects are found in buildings that are cultural heritage buildings and historical heritage sites. The lack of detailed information and documentation that already exists has not been able to highlight the visual side and the absence of media specifically explaining urban legend objects in Bandung. From the formulation of the problem resulted in the purpose of the research is to design a media that aims to provide detailed information about urban legend objects in the city of Bandung by highlighting the visual side as well as documenting the buildings and historic sites in the city of Bandung using observation, interviews, questionnaires, literature study, as well as comparison matrix analysis and design theory such as book theory, DKV, photography, and printing. After getting the required data, the author designed as the initial goal so as to produce a medium of information in the form of a book as a photography-based reference on urban legend locations in the city of Bandung.
