The KamLAND-Zen experiment has provided stringent constraints on the neutrinoless double-beta (0νββ) decay half-life in ^{136}Xe using a xenon-loaded liquid scintillator. We report an improved search upgraded detector with almost double amount of xenon and ultralow radioactivity container, corresponding to exposure 970 kg yr ^{136}Xe.

We report on a search for electron antineutrinos ($\bar{\nu}_e$) from astrophysical sources in the neutrino energy range 8.3 to 30.8 MeV with KamLAND detector. In an exposure of 6.72 kton-year liquid scintillator, we observe 18 candidate events via inverse beta decay reaction. Although there is large background uncertainty neutral current atmospheric interactions, find no significant excess over model predictions. Assuming several supernova relic spectra, give upper flux limits 60--110...
Abstract There has been much discussion about the initial conditions of early Universe in context quantum theory. In this paper, we construct wave function and probability distribution by adopting version BPS equation instead usual Wheeler‒DeWitt a minisuperspace cosmology with spatially uniform scalar fields. Although model treated study is technically valid for limited form potential, show that it possible to conserved current our model. We also examine classical aspects models...

Abstract The decay of the primordial isotopes 238 U, 235 232 Th, and 40 K has contributed to terrestrial heat budget throughout Earth's history. Hence, individual abundance those are key parameters in reconstructing contemporary Earth models. geoneutrinos produced by radioactive decays uranium thorium have been observed with Kamioka Liquid‐Scintillator Antineutrino Detector (KamLAND). Those measurements improved more than 18‐year observation time, improvement detector background levels...

We measured the soft error rates (SER) of SRAM devices in several field tests, and obtained SERs induced independently by high energy neutrons, thermal neutrons alpha particles. It was found that neutron SER approximately three times larger than 0.18 /spl mu/m 8M SRAMs, particle negligible. also performed accelerated tests for using a nuclear reactor, can be reduced factors up to hundreds shield sheets or eliminating BPSG layers.
The high energy neutron-induced SSER and ASER in SRAMs were compared, a large discrepancy of factor 2.6 was observed. We investigated the possible causes this discrepancy, including accuracy neutron flux, flux effect, incident angle dependence, temperature time variation cosmic rays, etc. As result, we concluded that originates from value assumed for at sea level. normalized our results to 0.18 /spl mu/m so as not use SER 0.13 16 Mb SRAM is approximately 270 FIT/Mb.
We study covariant equations in quantum cosmology of an extended minisuperspace obtained by the Eisenhart--Duval lift. find that a Dirac-type equation is naturally introduced minisuperspace. Explicit forms fundamental solutions are yielded for specific models. The possible further development this direction also discussed.
Recently, Falomir, Gamboa, Mendez, Gondolo and Maldonado proposed a bicosmology scenario [1-4] for solving some cosmological problems related to inflation, dark matter, thermal history of the universe. Their plan is introduce noncommutativity into momentum space two scale factors. In present paper, we revisit their model first consider exact classical solutions in with constant between dynamical variables canonical momenta. We also hypothesize that appears when factors are small, show...

Our scenario requires relatively large mixing angles sin 2 2θ ≳ 0.3 and, most probably, ∆m order 10 −6 ~ −5 (eV) . The implications in other detectors are briefly discussed.
Adopting a simple ansatz, we find exact solutions to the Einstein-Maxwell-dilaton equations, which stand for multi-black hole configuration with maximal charge in cosmological metric and dilaton field background driven by term.
A family of static multicentered solutions to modified Einstein-Maxwell equations coupled with a dilaton is constructed in $(1+N)$ dimensional space-time ($N\ge 2$). For $N\ge 3$, the are generalizations Majumdar-Papapetrou solution. We also find solution $(1+2)$ dimensions, where scalar and vector forces cancel each other case. The interaction between two extreme charged black holes low-energy limit investigated dimensions 3$). that there remains residual velocity-dependent force general...

In this paper, we study rotating boson stars in the large coupling limit as well Newtonian limit. We investigate equilibrium solutions four and five dimensions by adopting some analytical approximations. show that relations among radius, angular momentum, energy, quadrupole moment (for four-dimensional solution) of star can be qualitatively realized for minimal number boson-star parameters.
Abstract Preceding a core-collapse supernova (CCSN), various processes produce an increasing amount of neutrinos all flavors characterized by mounting energies from the interior massive stars. Among them, electron antineutrinos are potentially detectable terrestrial neutrino experiments such as KamLAND and Super-Kamiokande (SK) via inverse beta decay interactions. Once these pre-supernova (pre-SN) observed, early warning upcoming CCSN can be provided. In light this, SK, both located in...

Spontaneous creation "universes" is investigated upon simple model. find that wave function reveals number density universes expressed Fermi-Dirac distribution. also calculate entanglement entropy multi-universe system.
We solve Einstein equations coupled to a complex scalar field with infinitely large self-interaction, degenerate fermions, and negative cosmological constant in $(2+1)$ dimensions. Exact solutions for static boson-fermion stars are found when circular symmetry is assumed. find that the minimum binding energy of star takes value if sufficiently small.
