Metal surface flaws on can be detected using the frequency transmission characteristics of surface acoustic waves (SAW). In addition, noncontact, remote detection can be made possible by using laser ultrasound. So far, broadband SAW generated by a single generation laser has been used for surface flaw detection[1]. Results have shown that the SAW transmitted across a slit of depth 0.5 mm showed...

For the D = 5 Majorana neutrino mass operator to have a see-saw ultraviolet completion that is viable up to the Planck scale, the see-saw scale is bounded above due to triviality limits on the see-saw couplings. For supersymmetric see-saw models, with realistic neutrino mass textures, we compare constraints on the see-saw scale from triviality bounds, with those arising from experimental limits...
