Flavour- and CP-violating electromagnetic or chromomagnetic dipole operators in the quark sector are generated in a large class of new physics models and are strongly constrained by measurements of the neutron electric dipole moment and observables sensitive to flavour-changing neutral currents, such as the [Formula: see text] branching ratio and [Formula: see text]. After a model-independent d...

It is shown that the flavour projection of staggered fermions can be written as a projection between the fields on four separate, but parallel, lattices, where the fields on each are modified forms of the standard staggered fermion field. Because the staggered Dirac operator acts equally on each lattice, it respects this flavour projection. We show that the system can be gauged in the usual fas...

One of the most obscure sides of particle physics concerns the fermion flavor structure. This is a complex problem with different aspects questioning the origin of the mass spectrum and mixing pattern of quarks and leptons (including neutrinos) and CP-violation, as well as the suppression of flavor changing (FC) neutral currents, the strong CP-problem, etc. [1]. Presently, thanks to the new dat...

We investigate the constraints on flavour-changing neutral heavy Higgs-boson decays H → b¯ s from b → sγ bounds on the flavour-mixing parameters of the MSSM with non-minimal flavour violation (NMFV). In our analysis we include the contributions from the SM and new physics due to general flavour mixing in the squark mass matrices. We study the case of one and two non-zero flavour-mixing paramete...

BACKGROUND Deficits of flavour processing may be clinically important in frontotemporal lobar degeneration (FTLD). OBJECTIVE To examine flavour processing in FTLD. METHODS We studied flavour identification prospectively in 25 patients with FTLD (12 with behavioural variant frontotemporal dementia (bvFTD), eight with semantic variant primary progressive aphasia (svPPA), five with non-fluent ...

The so-called supersymmetric flavour problem does not exist in isolation to the Standard Model flavour problem. We show that a realistic flavour symmetry can simultaneously solve both problems without ad hoc modifications of the SUSY model. Furthermore, departures from the SM expectations in these models can be used to discriminate among different possibilities. In particular we present the exp...
