NUCLEAR PHYSICS IN A SUSY UNIVERSE

Precision SUSY Physics

We review the theoretical status and the future perspectives of the most important electroweak precision observables in the MSSM. This comprises the mass of the W boson, MW , the effective leptonic mixing angle, sin θeff , the mass of the lightest MSSM Higgs boson, mh, and the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon, aμ. The impact of the parametric uncertainties from the experimental errors of t...

Inconsistent Universe – Physics as a meta - science –

Physics is introduced as a semantics of a formal set theory. We consider a metatheory of a formal set theory S. We name this metatheory MS, indicating that it is a Meta-theory of S as well as a Meta-Scientific theory as Ronald Swan [1] refers to. The following arguments are all made in MS. We define in MS φ = the class of all well-formed formulae of S. This φ is a countable set in the context o...

Elementary Physics in the Cellular Automaton Universe

General relativity is a mathematical model that uses sophisticated geometry to describe simple physics. It agrees with experiment in the few tests that can be made, but the whole edifice is not physics. Instead of using observations to test that model, I derive a simple empirical model of elementary physics and cosmology from the observations. The observations imply that the universe is a finit...

Particle Physics in the Early Universe

Physics of Structure Formation in the Universe

In recent years, unprecedented progress in observational cosmology has revealed a great deal of information about the formation and evolution of structures in the universe. This, in turn, has raised many challenging issues for the theorists. In the thesis, we have addressed two such key issues, namely, (a) the formation of baryonic structures and (b) the nature of dark matter and dark energy an...
