In many new physics scenarios, one expects big corrections to the
B_s-\bar B_s mixing amplitude. This gives rise to a new CP-violating phase, which tends to suppress the width difference of the heavy and the light meson state, given that there is no large enhancement of the decay amplitude. I will briefly discuss corretions to the mixing- and the decay amplitude for Randall-Sundrum models...

IceCube is the world's largest neutrino telescope, recently
completed at the South Pole. As a proof of pointing accuracy, we look
for the image of the Moon as a deficit in down-going cosmic ray muons,
using techniques similar to those used in IceCube's astronomical
point-source searches.

We reconsider the possibility that Majorana masses of the three known neutrinos are generated radiatively by the presence of a fourth generation with both Dirac and Majorana masses. We find that the observed light neutrino mass hierarchy is not compatible with the usual experimental tests of the Standard Model in this minimal scenario, but all present data can be accommodated with five...

The primary motivation for this analysis is to verify the simulation of K+ production from the Booster Neutrino Beam (BNB) line with actual data from the SciBooNE experiment. The BNB line provides neutrinos for current and future experiments. While neutrino flux is predominately due to pion decay, K+ decay is the dominant source above 2 GeV. An accurate understanding of K+ production will...

Minimal Flavour Violation assumes a dynamical origin for the fermion Yukawa couplings. Using only flavour symmetry, we derive the general scalar potential for the fields whose background values are the Yukawa couplings. The minimum of the potential is analyzed and confronted with the physical masses and mixings, discussing the degree of naturalness of the ansatz.

Among other goals, the NA61/SHINE (SHINE= Sps Heavy Ion and Neutrino Experiment) aims at precise hadron production measurement for improving calculations of the neutrino flux in the T2K neutrino oscillation experiment.
These measurements are performed using a 30 GeV proton beam produced at the SPS with carbon targets of different thickness, including a replica of the T2K target.
Inclusive...
