A neutrino decay model, solar antineutrinos and atmospheric neutrinos

Physics Letters B, 1992
Abstract The neutrino decay solution to the solar neutrino problem calls for large mixing and a short lifetime for the decaying neutrino. We propose a model for neutrino masses which has these features and furthermore leads to decays into antineutrinos. The resulting fluxes of v e 's are detectable in future solar neutrino detectors.

Intermediate Fluence Downward Terrestrial Gamma Ray Flashes as Observed by the Telescope Array Surface Detector

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 129, Issue 24, 28 December 2024.
Abstract On 11 September 2021, two small thunderstorms developed over the Telescope Array Surface Detector (TASD) that produced an unprecedented number of six downward terrestrial gamma ray flashes (TGFs) within one‐hour timeframe. The TGFs occurred during the initial stage of negative cloud‐to‐ground flashes whose return strokes had increasingly large

New Weinberg operator for neutrino mass and its seesaw origin

Journal of High Energy Physics, 2019
We consider a new Weinberg operator for neutrino mass of the form H u H ˜ d L i L j $$ {H}_u{\tilde{H}}_d{L}_i{L}_j $$ involving two different Higgs doublets H u , H d with opposite hypercharge, where H ˜ s d $$ \tilde{H}{s}_d $$ is the charge conjugated

A see-saw model for atmospheric and solar neutrino oscillations [PDF]

Physics Letters B, 1998
We have constructed an explicit see-saw model containing two singlet neutrinos, one carrying a $(B-3L_e)$ gauge charge with an intermediate mass scale of $\sim O(10^{10})$ GeV along with a sterile one near the GUT (grand unification theory) scale of $\sim O(10^{16})$ GeV.

The evolution and history of Vinca alkaloids: From the Big Bang to the treatment of pediatric acute leukemia

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, Volume 71, Issue 11, November 2024.
Abstract An attractive flower from the island of Madagascar has in part saved the lives of thousands of children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). Random mutations and alterations to the genome led to the evolution of genes encoding enzymes, which would provide the periwinkle flower an arsenal of secondary metabolites to survive within the ...

GOES‐R Series X‐Ray Sensor (XRS): 1. Design and Pre‐Flight Calibration

Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 129, Issue 11, November 2024.
Abstract The X‐Ray Sensor (XRS) has been making full‐disk observations of the solar soft X‐ray irradiance onboard National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's (NOAA) Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellites since 1975. Critical information about solar activity for space weather operations is provided by XRS measurements, such as the ...

Discrete dark matter mechanism as the source of neutrino mass scales

Journal of High Energy Physics, 2023
The hierarchy in scale between atmospheric and solar neutrino mass splittings is investigated through two distinct neutrino mass mechanisms from tree-level and one-loop-level contributions.

Recent Developments in Halide Perovskite Nanocrystals for Indirect X‐ray Detection

Advanced Materials Technologies, Volume 9, Issue 20, October 21, 2024.
Perovskite nanocrystals act as scintillators under X‐ray illumination with different conversion yield, stability, or decay times and outperform commercial materials, depending on their composition, host matrix, and luminescence process. Besides the lead halide perovskites, there are lead‐free alternatives providing self‐trapped exciton emission ...

On the Self‐Quenching of Relativistic Runaway Electron Avalanches Producing Terrestrial Gamma Ray Flashes

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 51, Issue 10, 28 May 2024.
Abstract Terrestrial gamma ray flashes (TGFs) are short bursts of gamma rays occurring during thunderstorms. They are believed to be produced by relativistic runaway electron avalanches (RREAs). It is usually admitted that the number of high‐energy electrons produced in the brightest TGFs remains mostly confined within a range from 1017 to 1019.
