Gamma ray lines : what will they tell us about SUSY ?

Neutralino dark matter can be indirectly detected by observing the gamma ray lines from the annihilation processes χχ → γγ and χχ → γZ. In this paper we study the implications that the observation of these two lines could have for the determination of the supersymmetric parameter space. Within the minimal supergravity framework, we find that, independently of the dark matter distribution in the...

However, the antecedents of customer loyalty differ between business domains.

Observational Learning: Tell Beginners What They Are about to Watch and They Will Learn Better

Observation aids motor skill learning. When multiple models or different levels of performance are observed, does learning improve when the observer is informed of the performance quality prior to each observation trial or after each trial? We used a knock-down barrier task and asked participants to learn a new relative timing pattern that differed from that naturally emerging from the task con...

This trend has particularly affected low-income families. At the same time, owners of thousands of privately owned, publicly subsidized rental housing units have left, or ‘‘opted out,’’ of subsidy programs across the country. The ef...
