In this work we address contributions from scalars to (g − 2)μ. In order to explain the recently measured deviation by the BNL experiment on (g − 2)μ, it is necessary that these scalars are either light or couple strongly with muons. Here we explore this last possibility. We show that a scalar with mass of the order of 10 GeV provides significant contribution to (g − 2)μ if the Yukawa coupling ...

Complex applications consist of a large set of transactions which are interrelated. There are different kinds of dependencies among transactions of a complex application, e.g. termination or execution dependencies which are constraints on the occurrence of significant transaction events. In this paper, we analyze a set of (orthogonal) transaction dependencies. Here, we do not follow traditional...

Well-nested word languages have been advertised as adequate formalizations of the notion of mild context-sensitivity. The main result of this paper is a characterization of well-nested tree languages in terms of simple attributed tree transducers.

We use existing measurements of D − → K * 0 ρ − and B → ψ + K * , coupled with flavor independence of QCD, and with vector meson dominance to show that long distance contributions to B → ρ + γ are potentially very serious. We note that long distance (LD) contributions can be appreciably different in B − → ρ − + γ and B 0 → ρ 0 (ω) + γ. All radiative decays of B, B S are shown to be governed ess...

The current status of the experimental measurements and theoretical predictions of the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon aμ is briefly reviewed. The emphasis is put on the evaluation of the hadronic contribution to aμ as it has the largest uncertainty among all Standard Model contributions. The precision of the hadronic contribution is driven by the input e+e− data predominantly from the π+...
