Rescattering in 100-GeV/c proton-deuteron and positive-pion--deuteron interactions
We have studied rescattering in 100-GeV/c proton and positive-pion interactions with deuterons in the Fermilab 30-in. bubble chamber. We study specifically events in which the deuteron breaks up and meson production occurs. After attempting to take account of elastic rescattering, we determine the fraction of events in which rescattering occurs, and the multiplicity distribution of the rescatter events. The rescatter fraction found for 100-GeV/c ..pi../sup +/d events is consistent with the values found in 21-GeV/c and 205-GeV/c ..pi../sup -/d experiments while the fraction found for 100-GeV/c pd events is slightly larger. The multiplicity distributions in the rescatter events are in reasonable agreement with 205-GeV/c pp or ..pi../sup -/p multiplicity distributions. We compare our results to predictions of energy-flux-cascade and coherent-tube models.

Design of a crystal extraction facility in the east utility straight
Parasitic extraction of a small fraction of the 20-TeV circulating beam of the Superconducting Super Collider can be done using a bent crystal situated in the halo of the orbiting beam. The authors present a design of a crystal extraction system that is compatible with current plans for momentum scraping in the east utility straight. The only modification to the collider tunnel is the addition of a 160-m-long alcove in the east utility straight to mate the extracted beam line microtunnel with the collider tunnel. No other changes to the east utility straight tunnel are needed.

A high precision, compact electromechanical ground rotation sensor.
We present a mechanical rotation sensor consisting of a balance pivoting on a tungsten carbide knife edge. These sensors are important for precision seismic isolation systems, as employed in land-based gravitational wave interferometers and for the new field of rotational seismology. The position sensor used is an air-core linear variable differential transformer with a demonstrated noise floor of 1 × 10⁻¹¹ m/√Hz. We describe the instrument construction and demonstrate low noise operation with a noise floor upper bound of 5.7 × 10⁻⁹ rad/√Hz at 10 mHz and 6.4 × 10⁻¹⁰ rad/√Hz at 0.1 Hz. The performance of the knife edge hinge is compatible with a behaviorur free of noise from dislocation self-organized criticality.

Searching for new physics in the three-body decays of the Higgs-like particle
A bstractWe show that the three-body decays of the resonance recently discovered at the LHC are potentially sensitive to effects of new physics. Even if the fully integrated partial decay widths are consistent with the minimal Standard Model there is information that is lost upon integration, which can be uncovered in the differential decay widths. Concentrating on the decay h → Zℓ$ \overline{\ell} $, we identify the regions in the three-body phase space in which these effects become especially pronounced and could be detected in future experiments.

Bottom-quark forward-backward asymmetry in the standard model and beyond.
We computed the bottom-quark forward-backward asymmetry at the Tevatron in the standard model (SM) and for several new physics scenarios. Near the Z pole, the SM bottom asymmetry is dominated by tree level exchanges of electroweak gauge bosons. While above the Z pole, next-to-leading order QCD dominates the SM asymmetry as was the case with the top-quark forward-backward asymmetry. Light new physics, M(NP)≲150  GeV, can cause significant deviations from the SM prediction for the bottom asymmetry. The bottom asymmetry can be used to distinguish between competing new physics (NP) explanations of the top asymmetry based on how the NP interferes with s-channel gluon and Z exchange.

On Limit Cycles in Supersymmetric Theories
Abstract Contrary to popular belief conformality does not require zero beta functions. This follows from the work of Jack and Osborn, and examples in non-supersymmetric theories were recently found by some of us. In this Letter we show that such examples are absent in unitary N = 1 supersymmetric four-dimensional field theories. More specifically, we show to all orders in perturbation theory that the beta-function vector field of such theories does not admit limit cycles. A corollary of our result is that unitary N = 1 supersymmetric four-dimensional theories cannot be superscale-invariant without being superconformal.

Massive spin-2 states as the origin of the top quark forward-backward asymmetry
We show that the anomalously large top quark forward-backward asymmetry observed by CDF and DØ can naturally be accommodated in models with flavor-violating couplings of a new massive spin-2 state to quarks. Regardless of its origin, the lowest-order couplings of a spin-2 boson to fermions are analogous to the coupling of the graviton to energy/momentum, leading to strong sensitivity of the effects associated with its virtual exchange to the energy scales at hand. Precisely due to this fact, the observed dependence of the asymmetry on the $ t\overline t $ invariant mass fits nicely into the proposed framework. In particular, we find a vast parameter space which can lead to the central value for the observed forward-backward asymmetry in the high mass bin.
