Leptogenesis from Quantum Interference in a Thermal Bath

Marco Drewes

Thermal leptogenesis explains the observed matter-antimatter asymmetry of the universe in terms of neutrino masses, consistent with neutrino oscillation experiments. We present a full quantum mechanical calculation of the generated lepton asymmetry based o ...

"Compressed" Compressed Sensing

Michael Christoph Gastpar

The field of compressed sensing has shown that a sparse but otherwise arbitrary vector can be recovered exactly from a small number of randomly constructed linear projections (or samples). The question addressed in this paper is whether an even smaller num ...

Repeater Insertion Techniques for 3D Interconnects

Giovanni De Micheli, Vasileios Pavlidis

A new approach for inserting repeaters in 3-D interconnects is proposed. The allocation of repeaters along an interplane interconnect is iteratively determined. The proposed approach is compared with two other techniques based on conventional methods used ...

Network Simplification: the Gaussian N-Relay Diamond Network

Christina Fragouli, Ayfer Özgür Aydin

We consider the Gaussian

-relay diamond network, where a source wants to communicate to a destination through a layer of

-relay nodes. We investigate the following question: What fraction of the capacity can we maintain by using only

Reconciling leptogenesis with observable μ → eγ rates

Steve Blanchet

We perform a detailed analysis of thermal leptogenesis in the framework of seesaw models which approximately conserve lepton number. These models are known to allow for large Yukawa couplings and a low seesaw scale in agreement with neutrino mass constrain ...

Search for lepton-flavor-violating τ decay into a lepton and an f0 (980) meson

Olivier Schneider, Aurelio Bay, Chao Wang, Tagir Aushev, Remi Léandre Albert Louvot, Xiao Wang, Jing Li

We search for lepton-flavor-violating τ decays into a lepton (electron or muon) and an f0 (980) meson using 671 fb-1 of data collected with the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric-energy e+ e- collider. No events are observed and we set the following 90% ...

Non-unitary Leptonic Mixing and Leptogenesis

Steve Blanchet

We investigate the relation between non-unitarity of the leptonic mixing matrix and leptogenesis. We discuss how all parameters of the canonical type-I seesaw mechanism can, in principle, be reconstructed from the neutrino mass matrix and the deviation of ...

Baryon asymmetry of the universe and neutrinos

Our Universe is charge-asymmetric: it contains no antimatter in amounts comparable to matter. This fact provides cosmological evidence for the nonconservation of baryon number as well as for C and CP breaking. We review the problem of the matter-antimatter ...

Statistics Of Prime Divisors In Function Fields

Robert Christopher Rhoades

We show that the prime divisors of a random polynomial in F-q[t] are typically "Poisson distributed". This result is analogous to the result in Z of Granville [1]. Along the way, we use a sieve developed by Granville and Soundararajan [2] to give a simple ...

Perceptual learning with Chevrons requires a minimal number of trials, transfers to untrained directions, but does not require sleep

Michael Herzog, Elisa Tartaglia, Carl Kristoffer Aberg

In most models of perceptual learning, the amount of improvement of performance does not depend on the regime of stimulus presentations, but only on the sheer number of trials. Here, we kept the number of stimulus presentations constant while varying the n ...
