Report of the GDR working group on the R-parity violation

This report summarizes the work of the "R-parity violation group" of the French Research Network (GDR) in Supersymmetry, concerning the physics of supersymmetric models without conservation of R-parity at HERA, LEP, Tevatron and LHC and limits on R-parity violating couplings from various processes. The report includes a discussion of the recent searches at the HERA experiment, prospects for new experiments, a review of the existing limits, and also theoretically motivated alternatives to R-parity and a brief discussion on the implications of R-parity violation on the neutrino masses.

Application of a Two-Parameter Quantum Algebra to Rotational Spectroscopy of Nuclei

A two-parameter quantum algebra $U_{qp}({\rm u}_2)$ is briefly investigated in this paper. The basic ingredients of a model based on the $U_{qp}({\rm u}_2)$ symmetry, the $qp$-rotator model, are presented in detail. Some general tendencies arising from the application of this model to the description of rotational bands of various atomic nuclei are summarized.

An $U_{qp}(u_2)$ Rotor Model for Rotational Bands of Superdeformed Nuclei

A nonrigid rotor model is developed from the two-parameter quantum algebra $U_{qp}({\rm u}_2)$. [This model presents the $U_{qp}({\rm u}_2)$ symmetry and shall be referred to as the qp-rotor model.] A rotational energy formula as well as a qp-deformation of E2 reduced transition probabilities are derived. The qp-rotor model is applied (through fitting procedures) to twenty rotational bands of superdeformed nuclei in the $A \sim 130$, 150 and 190 mass regions. Systematic comparisons between the qp-rotor model and the q-rotor model of Raychev, Roussev and Smirnov, on one hand, and a basic three-parameter model, on the other hand, are performed on energy spectra, on dynamical moments of inertia and on B(E2) values. The physical signification of the deformation parameters q and p is discussed.

An Uqp(u2) Model for Rotational Bands of Nuclei

A rotational model is developed from a new version of the two-parameter quantum algebra $U_{qp}({\rm u}_2)$. This model is applied to the description of some recent experimental data for the rotating superdeformed nuclei $^{192-194-196-198}{\rm Pb}$ and $^{192-194 }{\rm Hg}$. A comparison between the $U_{qp}({\rm u}_2)$ model presented here and the Raychev-Roussev-Smirnov model with $U_{q }({\rm su}_2)$ symmetry shows the relevance of the introduction of a second parameter of a ``quantum algebra'' type.
