Research Project Büyük hadron çarpıştırıcısında kara madde parçacığının aranması(TÜBİTAK - Türkiye Bilimsel ve Teknolojik Araştırma Kurumu, 2007) Demir, Durmuş Ali; Cankoçak, KeremÇeşitli astrofizik ve kozmolojik gözlemler evreni oluşturan toplam madde miktarının yaklaşık ¼ ünün kara madde tabir edilen ışık saçmayan, ağır ve uzun ömürlü parçaçıklardan oluştuğunu göstermektedir. Ancak parçacık fiziğinin deneylerle mükemmel uyum gösteren standart modeli böyle bir yapıyı öngörmemekte, böyle bir yapıya yol açabilecek herhangi bir parçaçığa da sahip bulunmamaktadır. Bu bağlamda, bu tür bir yapıyı oluşturabilmek için ve diğer bir takım kavramsal sebeplerden dolayı, standart modelin genişletilmesi gerekmektedir. Yaygın olarak bilinen iki genişletme, ek uzayzaman boyutları ve süpersimetrik modeller, bu proje çalışmasının ana konularıdir. Her iki alanda da çeşitli çalışmalar yapılmış, kara madde adayının özellikleri belirlenmiş, yeni modeller oluşturulmuş ve kara madde parçaciğinin yaklaşmakta olan Büyük Hadron Çarpıştırıcısı deneylerinde gözlemlenme koşulları analiz edilmiştir.Article Citation - WoS: 11Citation - Scopus: 11General Tensor Lagrangians From the Gravitational Higgs Mechanism(IOP Publishing Ltd., 2009) Demir, Durmuş Ali; Pak, Namık KemalThe gravitational Higgs mechanism proposed by 't Hooft in arXiv:0708.3184 involves the spacetime metric gμv as well as the induced metric ḡμν oc ηab∂μΦ a∂νφb where φ(a = 0,..., 3), as we call it, break all four diffeomorphisms spontaneously via the vacuum expectation values (φa) ∝ xa. In this framework, we construct and analyze the most general action density in terms of various invariants involving the curvature tensors, connexion coefficients, and the contractions and the determinants of the two metric fields. We show that this action admits a consistent expansion about the flat background such that the resulting Lagrangian possesses several novel features not found in the linearized Einstein-Hilbert Lagrangian with FierzPauli mass term (LEHL-FP): (i) its kinetic part generalizes that of LELHL-FP by weighing the corresponding structures with certain coefficients generated by invariants, (ii) the entire Lagrangian is ghost- and tachyon-free for mass terms not necessarily in the Fierz-Pauli form, and, (iii) a consistent mass term is generated with no apparent need to higher derivative couplings.Article Citation - WoS: 9Citation - Scopus: 10Doubly Charged Higgsinos at the Tevatron(American Physical Society, 2009) Demir, Durmuş Ali; Frank, Mariana; Ghosh, Dilip Kumar; Huitu, Katri; Rai, Santosh Kumar; Turan, İsmailSeveral supersymmetric models with extended gauge structures, motivated by either grand unification or by neutrino mass generation, predict light doubly charged Higgsinos. In this work we study the signals of doubly charged Higgsinos at the Tevatron in both pair- and single-production modes, and show that it is possible, especially from the events containing same-sign same-flavor isolated leptons, to disentangle the effects of doubly charged Higgsinos in the Tevatron data.Article Citation - WoS: 7Citation - Scopus: 8Search for Gauge Extensions of the Mssm at the Lhc(American Physical Society, 2009) Ahmed, Ali; Demir, Durmuş Ali; Frank, Mariana; Turan, İsmailThe extensions of the minimal supersymmetric model (MSSM), driving mainly from the need to solve the μ problem, involve novel matter species and gauge groups. These extended MSSM models can be searched for at the LHC via the effects of the gauge and Higgs bosons or their fermionic partners. Traditionally, the focus has been on the study of the extra forces induced by the new gauge and Higgs bosons present in such models. An alternative way of studying such effects is through the superpartners of matter species and the gauge forces. We thus consider a U(1)′ gauge extension of the MSSM, and perform an extensive study of the signatures of the model through the production and decays of the scalar quarks and gluino, which are expected to be produced copiously at the LHC. After a detailed study of the distinctive features of such models with regard to the signatures at the LHC, we carry out a detailed Monte-Carlo analysis of the signals from the process pp→nleptons+mjets+E T, and compare the resulting distributions with those predicted by the MSSM. Our results show that the searches for the extra gauge interactions in the supersymmetric framework can proceed not only through the forces mediated by the gauge and Higgs bosons but also through the superpartner forces mediated by the gauge and Higgs fermions. Analysis of the events induced by the squark/gluino decays presented here is complementary to the direct Z′ searches at the LHC.Conference Object Phenomenological Aspects of U(1)' Models(American Institute of Physics, 2009) Demir, Durmuş AliThis talk summarizes certain phenomenological aspects of the supersymmetric models with an extra U(1) invariance broken at the TeV scale. The discussions involve the Higgs sector, CP violation, Neutrino masses and the LHC signatures.Article Citation - WoS: 35Citation - Scopus: 37Dirac Neutrino Masses From Generalized Supersymmetry Breaking(American Physical Society, 2008) Demir, Durmuş Ali; Everett, Lisa L.; Langacker, PaulWe demonstrate that Dirac neutrino masses in the experimentally preferred range are generated within supersymmetric gauge extensions of the standard model with a generalized supersymmetry breaking sector. If the superpotential neutrino Yukawa terms are forbidden by the gauge symmetry [such as a U(1)′], sub-eV scale effective Dirac mass terms can arise at tree level from hard supersymmetry breaking Yukawa couplings, or at one loop due to nonanalytic soft supersymmetry breaking trilinear scalar couplings. The radiative neutrino magnetic and electric dipole moments vanish at one-loop order.Conference Object Doubly Charged Higgsinos at Lhc(Proceedings of Science (PoS), 2008) Demir, Durmuş Ali; Frank, Mariana; Huitu, Katri; Rai, Santosh Kumar; Turan, İsmailWe review single and pair production and subsequent decay of doubly charged Higgsinos of the left-right supersymmetric model at the LHC. The novel signature is possible to separate from the MSSM and UED signal.Article Citation - WoS: 21Citation - Scopus: 22Vacuum Energy as the Origin of the Gravitational Constant(Springer Verlag, 2009) Demir, Durmuş AliWe develop a geometro-dynamical approach to the cosmological constant problem (CCP) by invoking a geometry induced by the energy-momentum tensor of vacuum, matter and radiation. The construction, which utilizes the dual role of the metric tensor that it structures both the spacetime manifold and energy-momentum tensor of the vacuum, gives rise to a framework in which the vacuum energy induced by matter and radiation, instead of gravitating, facilitates the generation of the gravitational constant. The non-vacuum sources comprising matter and radiation gravitate normally. At the level of classical gravitation, the mechanism deadens the CCP yet quantum gravitational effects, if strong, can keep it existent.Conference Object Introduction To Higgs Sector: Theory and Phenomenology(Springer Verlag, 2008) Demir, Durmuş AliThis review is based on lectures delivered at International Summer School on High Energy Physics, in Akyaka, Mugla, Turkey, September 2006. The goal of the review is to introduce junior graduate students, having a some knowledge of field theory, to the problem of mass generation and its physical consequences. The review starts with the statements and a toy model of mass generation in Sect. 2. In Sect. 3 a model of weak interactions is constructed and its predictions are compared with experimental results obtained so far. Given in Sect. 4 is search strategies for Higgs boson, the only remnant of the mechanism that gives mass to matter, by referring to model predictions and experimental facilities. Finally, in Sect. 5, given are a summary of results plus reasons for and expectations from models which rehabilitate the minimal model constructed in Sect. 3.Conference Object Signatures of Doubly-Charged Higgsinos at Colliders(American Institute of Physics, 2008) Demir, Durmuş Ali; Frank, Mariana; Huitu, Katri; Rai, Santosh Kumar; Turan, İsmailSeveral supersymmetric models with extended gauge structures predict light doubly-charged Higgsinos. Their distinctive signature at the large hadron collider is highlighted by studying its production and decay characteristics.
