Relic abundance of dark matter particles: new formulation and new result of abundance calculation
A new theoretical framework for computation of the relic abundance of cold
dark matter particles such as LSP is presented and some generic features of new
results are discussed. The most important is a generalization of the Boltzmann
equation to include off-shell effects and its thermal average over cosmic
medium. It is shown that at very low temperatures, much below the mass of
annihilating particles, equilibrium abundance is suppressed only by powers of
temperature instead of the exponential Boltzmann factor. This change gives a
larger relic abundance when heavy particles freeze out at these low
temperatures.Comment: 7 pages, LATEX file. Talk given at COSMO9
Wormhole and Hawking Radiation
It is shown in a variant of two dimensional dilaton gravity theories that an
arbitrary, localized massive source put in an initially regular spacetime gives
rise to formation of the wormhole classically, without accompanying the
curvature singularity. The semiclassical quantum correction under this wormhole
spacetime yields Hawking radiation. It is expected, with the quantum back
reaction added to the classical equation, that the information loss paradox may
be resolved in this model.Comment: 9 pages, TU-93-44
Determination of CP violation parameter using neutrino pair beam
Neutrino oscillation experiments under neutrino pair beam from circulating
excited heavy ions are studied. It is found that detection of double weak
events has a good sensitivity to measure CP violating parameter and distinguish
mass hierarchy patterns in short baseline experiments in which the
earth-induced matter effect is minimized.Comment: 9 pages, 6 figure
