We present high-statistics results for neutral B-meson mixing and heavy-light-meson leptonic decays in the quenched approximation from tadpole-improved clover actions at β = 6.0 and β = 6.2. We consider quantities such as BBd(s) , fDd(s) , fBd(s) and the full ∆B = 2 matrix elements as well as the corresponding SU(3)-breaking ratios. These quantities are important for determining the CKM matrix ...

To facilitate progression from the lab to commercial applications, it will be necessary to develop simple, scalable methods to produce high quality graphene. Here we demonstrate the production of large quantities of defect-free graphene using a kitchen blender and household detergent. We have characterised the scaling of both graphene concentration and production rate with the mixing parameters...

[1] The relationships between fractional entrainment rate and key microphysical quantities (e.g., liquid water content, droplet number concentration, volume mean radius, and standard deviation of cloud droplet size distributions) in shallow cumuli are empirically examined using in situ aircraft observations from the Routine Atmospheric Radiation Measurement Aerial Facility Clouds with Low Optic...

SUMMARY A two-parameter integral method is developed for predicting the mean-flow characteristics of high-speed axisymmetric turbulent mixing layers with large temperature differences. Results are presented graphically and in tabular form for such quantities as spreading rate, entrainment velocity, potential-core length and velocity along the dividing streamline. These results are for the case ...

We present a complete set of new flavour-permutation-symmetric mixing observables. We give expressions for these “plaquette invariants”, both in terms of the mixing matrix elements alone, and in terms of manifestly Jarlskog-invariant functions of fermion mass matrices. While these quantities are unconstrained in the Standard Model, we point out that remarkably, in the case of leptonic mixing, t...

The representation for measures of information which are symmetric, expansible, and have the branching property in the form of a sum is provided. This class of measures includes, in particular, Shannon's entropy, entropies of degree fi, Kullback's directed divergence, and Kerridge's inaccuracy. Rdnyi's entropy and information gain of order fl are, however, excluded from this class. The proof is...

In the minimal supersymmetric model (MSSM) all Higgs self-coupling parameters are related to gauge couplings at tree-level. Leading-logarithmic radiative corrections to these quantities can be summed using renormalization group techniques. By this procedure we obtain complete leading-log radiative corrections to the Higgs masses, the CP-even Higgs mixing angle, and trilinear Higgs couplings. Ad...
