Abstract:
If one imposes the permutation symmetry S. (n is the number of lepton flavours) reducibly on. the different families (e, /1, r, ... ), it follows that at least two leptons have the same mass if n > 6. If equal lepton masses are excluded, this implies a bound on the number of flavours.

Abstract:
A new classification of the fundamental particles based upon the use of only three additive quantum numbers (charge, particle number, generation quantum number) compared with the nine additive quantum numbers of the Standard Model (charge, lepton number, muon lepton number, tau lepton number, baryon number, strangeness, charm, bottomness, topness) is presented. This classification provides a new basis for the weak isospin symmetry characteristic of both leptons and quarks.

We consider all possible scalar bilinears, which couple to two fermions of the standard model. The various baryon and lepton number violating couplings allowed by these exotic scalars are studied. We then discuss which are constrained by limits on proton decay (to a lepton and a meson as well as to three leptons), neutron–antineutron oscillations, and neutrinoless double beta decay.

Abstract:
It is shown that a simple expression for m that depends exclusively on the charge-number Q gives experimentally admissible zero mass for the three neutrinos and accurately consistent mass values for the charged leptons and quarks over the five order-of-magnitude range characterized by the ratio mt/me≅3.6×105. Since this charge-number relation is patently predictive, with 12 fermion masses constituting substantial output relative to the postulational input, lepton and quark mass may indeed be preset by this charge-number condition. Hence, lepton-quark mass may actually be primary to the phenomenological standard model Lagrangian.

Abstract:
Abstract We propose a new mechanism of lepton (L) number asymmetry generation, hence offer an explanation of matter-antimatter imbalance when a significant amount of baryon number is later transformed from this L-number by known electroweak sphaleron mediated process. The basic theoretical framework is a recently proposed multiple scalar-tensor gravity that dynamically solves the cosmological constant problem. The L-asymmetry generation in one of two proposed scenarios is triggered by dynamical relaxation of scalar inflaton field towards the zero cosmological constant. CPT violation (C = charge conjugation, P = parity operation, T = time reversal) in the presence of a chemical potential gives the necessary time arrow, and lepton number violating scattering in cosmic thermal medium generates a net cosmological L-number via resonance formation. Another scenario is L-asymmetry generation from evaporating primordial black holes. These proposed mechanisms do not require CP violating phases in physics beyond the standard model: the new required physics is existence of heavy Majorana leptons of masses 1015 ∼ 1017 GeV that realizes the seesaw mechanism. We identify the cosmological epoch of lepto-genesis in two scenarios, which may give the right amount of observed baryon to entropy ratio. It might even be possible to experimentally determine microscopic physics parameter, masses of three heavy Majorana leptons by observing astrophysical footprints of primordial black hole evaporation at specified hole masses.

Abstract:
In this work we add a Dirac right-handed neutrino superfield to the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM). We discuss the interactions of the right- handed (RH) sneutrino and its mixing with its left-handed counterpart. We study the possibility of this RH sneutrino to be the lightest supersymmetrie particle (LSP). We obtain that this dark matter candidate is a non-thermal relic, and generally has a small relic density. This we argue makes it an interesting candidate for addressing the Ω(_DM)/ Ω(_b) problem. We then discuss a lepton-number conserving leptogenesis scenario, in which an Affleck-Dine inspired mechanism generates a left-right asymmetry in the sneutrino sector. The left-handed part of this asymmetry eventually genesis mechanism, as the right-handed part of the left-right asymmetry becomes the observed dark matter density.

Abstract:
The Standard Model does not describe several phenomena, such as gravity and dark matter, and therefore is an incomplete description of nature. This demands the existence of new physics beyond the Standard Model. Two searches for new physics are presented in this thesis, along with a sensitivity study for a third analysis sensitive to new physics. The vMSM model motivates a search for lepton number violation using B+ -> h- μ+ μ+ decays, where h = (pi, K). No B+ → h- μ+ μ+ candidates are seen in ~ 36 pb -1 of LHCb data and limits are set of BR (B+ → K- μ+ μ+) < 4.1 x 10 -8 and BR (B+ → pi- μ+ μ+) < 4.4 x 10 -8 at 90\% C.L. These improve the previous best limits by a factor 40 and 30, respectively. Using ~ 1fb -1 of LHCb data, the B+ → pi+ μ+ μ- decay is observed for the first time with 5.2 sigma significance. This is the first b → dμ+μ- transition to be observed. The B+→ pi+ μ+ μ- branching fraction is measured to be (2.3 ± 0.6 (stat) ± 0.1 (syst)) x 10 -8. The ratio of branching fractions between B+ → pi+ μ+ μ- and B+ → K- μ+ μ- is measured to be 0.053 ± 0.014 (stat) ± 0.001 (syst), and this is used to determine a value of the ratio of quark mixing matrix elements Vtd| /Vtd| = 0.266 ± 0.035 (stat) ± 0.003 (syst). All of these results are compatible with the Standard Model expectations. Previous measurements of the ratio of B → D(*)τ+v and B → D(*)μ+v branching fractions exceed the Standard Model expectations by more than 3 sigma, combining D and D*. These decays are challenging to measure at a hadron collider, due to the presence of neutrinos in the final state. A sensitivity study is presented for a measurement of the ratio of B0 → D*τ+v and B0 → D*-μ+v branching fractions at LHCb. This study includes a novel fit method, and two new algorithms which enable the backgrounds to be controlled, and control samples to be isolated. The estimated uncertainty on Rd*, including the largest systematic uncertainties, is ~ 8\%, competitive with the 9\% uncertainty on the present best measurement of Rd*.

Abstract:
The GERmanium Detector Array (GERDA) experiment, located underground at the INFN Laboratori Nazionali del Gran Sasso (LNGS) in Italy, uses high-purity germanium detectors to search for neutrinoless double beta decay (0νββ) of Ge-76. The first phase of the experiment lasted from November 2011 to May 2013 and collected data with a total exposure of 21.6 kg · yr. In this thesis, a thorough analysis of these data was performed. A background model was developed to decompose the observed energy spectrum in its individual contributions. The region around the Q-value of 0νββ, Qββ , at 2039 keV was studied in great detail. As main contributions to the background in this region, alpha and beta decays of the U-238 chain, beta decays of the Th-232 chain, and beta decays of K-42 were identified. It was shown that the background around Qββ can be approximated with a flat distribution. Neutrino accompanied double beta decay (2νββ) is a lepton number conserving process allowed by the Standard Model. Due to the low background in the experiment, in the region dominated by 2νββ a signal-to-background ratio of 3 : 1 could be reached. This allowed to measure the half-life of the decay with a precision unprecedented by previous experiments, T1/2^2ν = (1.96 ± 0.13) · 10^21 yr. Several beyond-Standard Model theories predict neutrinoless double beta decay with majoron emission (0νββχ(χ)). Depending on the theory, this process can be lepton number violating or lepton number conserving. A search in the GERDA Phase I data gave no indication of contributions to the observed energy spectra for any of the majoron models. The lower limit on the half-life for the ordinary majoron model (spectral index n = 1) was determined to be T1/2^0νχ > 4.15 · 10^23 yr (90 % quantile). This limit and the limits derived for the other majoron modes constitute the most stringent limits on 0νββχ(χ) of Ge-76 measured to date. The primary scope of the GERDA experiment was the search for 0νββ of Ge-76. This lepton number violating decay is expected by extensions of the Standard Model. The observation of 0νββ would be the proof that the neutrino has a non-vanishing Majorona mass component. The analysis of the GERDA Phase I data did not reveal any hint for the presence of a signal from 0νββ. A lower limit on the half-life was derived, T1/2^0ν > 1.83 · 10^25 yr (90 % quantile).
L’esperimento GERmanium Detector Array (GERDA), situato nei Laboratori Nazionali del Gran Sasso (LNGS) dell’INFN, utilizza rivelatori al germanio ultra-puro per la ricerca del doppio decadimento beta senza neutrini (0νββ). Tali rivelatori sono arricchiti nell’isotopo Ge-76. La prima fase dell’esperimento è durata da novembre 2011 a maggio 2013 ed ha raccolto dati con un’esposizione totale di 21.6 kg · yr. In questa tesi è stato sviluppato dapprima un modello dei fondi per scomporre lo spettro energetico osservato nei suoi singoli componenti. La regione intorno al Q-valore della reazione 0νββ, Qββ , a 2039 keV è stata studiata in modo dettagliato. I contributi principali al fondo in questa regione sono: i decadimenti alfa e beta della catena del U-238, i decadimenti beta della catena del Th-232 ed i decadimenti beta del K-42. È stato dimostrato inoltre che il fondo intorno a Qββ può essere descritto con una costante. Il doppio decadimento beta con emissione di due neutrini (2νββ) è un processo che conserva il numero leptonico ed è previsto dal Modello Standard. Nella regione dominata dagli eventi 2νββ è stato raggiunto un rapporto fra segnale e fondo di 3 : 1. Questo risultato ha permesso di misurare il tempo di dimezzamento del decadimento con una precisione ineguagliata dagli esperimenti precedenti, T1/2^2ν = (1.96 ± 0.13) · 10^21 yr. Alcuni modelli di fisica oltre il Modello Standard prevedono il doppio decadimento beta senza neutrini con emissione di uno o due majoroni (0νββχ(χ)). In base alla teoria, questo processo può violare o conservare il numero leptonico. Un’analisi dei dati della prima fase di GERDA non ha fornito alcun riscontro di contributi di uno di questi modelli agli spettri energetici osservati. Il limite inferiore sul tempo di dimezzamento per il modello ordinario del majorone (indice spettrale n = 1) è stato stimato pari a T1/2^0νχ > 4.15 · 10^23 yr (quantile del 90 %). Questo valore e quelli ricavati per altri modelli del majorone costituiscono i limiti più stringenti su 0νββχ(χ) nel Ge-76 misurati fino ad ora. Lo scopo primario dell’esperimento GERDA è la ricerca del 0νββ nel Ge-76. Questo processo, che viola il numero leptonico, è previsto dalle estensioni del Modello Standard e la sua osservazione dimostrerebbe che la massa del neutrino ha una componente di tipo Majorana. L’analisi dei dati della prima fase di GERDA non ha rivelato nessun cenno della presenza di un segnale di 0νββ. È stato così determinato un limite inferiore sul tempo di dimezzamento, T1/2^0ν > 1.83 · 10^25 yr (quantile del 90 %).

Abstract:
A search for the Lepton Number Violating decay \(K\)\(^±\) → \(π\)\(^∓\)\(μ\)\(^±\)\(μ\)\(^±\) has been performed using the data collected by the NA48/2 experiment in 2003 and 2004. The signal event selection, the background rejection, the evaluation of the muon identification efficiency and the statistical methods used for the data interpretation are presented. Based on 1.8 x 10\(^1\)\(^1\) kaon decays in the fiducial volume and using several models for the signal, upper limits for the branching ratio \(B\)(\(K\)\(^±\) → \(π\)\(^∓\)\(μ\)\(^±\)\(μ\)\(^±\)) of the order of 10\(^-\)\(^1\)\(^0\) have been obtained for 90%, 95% and 99% confidence levels, improving the previous best limit of one order of magnitude. The Cherenkov differential counter used for kaon identification in the NA62 experiment, equipped with approximately 30% of the photo-detectors, was installed and tested during a Technical Run in 2012. The counter's ability of distinguishing between kaons and pions has been validated via pressure scan procedure. The data collected have been used for evaluating the kaon efficiency and time resolution. The extrapolation to the full-sized detector has been also estimated.

Abstract:
SNO+ is a liquid scintillator experiment whose physics goals include measurements of solar neutrinos, reactor anti-neutrinos, geo neutrinos and double beta decay. During an initial water phase, it will also search for invisible modes of nucleon decay. This thesis investigates methods of improving the detector's sensitivity to the baryon and lepton violating processes of neutrinoless double beta decay and invisible nucleon decay. It does this through an improved scintillator model, allowing the sensitivity of the detector with different loading techniques to be evaluated, through a new background rejection technique, capable of increasing the active volume of the detector, and with the development of improved position fitters, achieving resolutions of approximately 10 cm in scintillator and 25 cm in water. The sensitivity of SNO+ to invisible modes of nucleon decay is explored, predicting, after one month of data, a limit of t > 1.38 x 1030 years on the decay of neutrons and of t > 1.57 x 1030 years on the decay of protons.

Abstract:
Adipokines, also called adipocytokines, are highly bioactive substances mainly expressed by adipose tissue. In addition to adipocytes, different cell types resident in various tissues produce adipokines under pathophysiological conditions. Adipokines include a growing number of pluripotent molecules such as adiponectin, resistin, leptin, and visfatin. Since distinct effects of adipokines on inflammation have been described, their influence on the (innate) immune system has been investigated in rheumatology, gastroenterology, and endocrinology. This review gives an overview on the current knowledge about the influence which adipokines have on the immune system and chronic inflammation in rheumatic diseases.

Abstract:
This book provides a nonmathematical survey of the past half-century of research in particle physics, nuclear physics, and cosmology bearing on the physical conditions that allow our universe to support the development of structure and the origins of life. These conditions rely on a surprising number of tiny imperfections—deviations from perfect symmetry (i.e., symmetry violations), homogeneity, or predictability—that seem mysteriously fine-tuned. The emphasis here is on the intricate tapestry of elegant experiments that have revealed and quantified these imperfections, as well as on theoretical efforts to understand how the imperfections arose in the infant universe. Among the topics covered are: the dominance of matter over antimatter (i.e., matter–antimatter asymmetry); the existence and intermixing of three generations of quarks and leptons; the stability of hydrogen and synthesis of other elements essential for life; the longevity and energy budget of the universe; the remaining mysteries surrounding dark matter, dark energy, and the postulated inflationary expansion of space in the infant universe; the fundamental role of randomness in quantum mechanics, in generating the first biomolecules and in biological evolution; the apparent perching of the vacuum state in our universe on the edge between stability and meta-stability; and philosophical questions, including the possibility of a multiverse, surrounding the interpretation of a universe that exhibits such fine-tuning. On all of these issues, the book clarifies what we know and how we know it, as distinct from what we speculate and how we might test it.

Abstract:
Vascular calcification (VC) is a common feature of patients with advanced CKD and it could be, at least in part, the cause of increased cardiovascular mortality in these patients. From a morphologic point of view, there are at least two types of pathologic calcium phosphate deposition in the arterial wall—namely, intima calcification (mostly associated with atherosclerotic plaques) and media calcification (associated with stiffening of the vasculature, resulting in significantly adverse cardiovascular outcomes). Although VC was viewed initially as a passive phenomenon, it appears to be a cell-mediated, dynamic, and actively regulated process that closely resembles the formation of normal bone tissue, as discovered recently. VC seems to be the result of the dysregulation of the equilibrium between promoters and inhibitors. The determinants are mostly represented by altered calcium and phosphorus metabolism, secondary hyperparathyroidism, vitamin D excess, high fibroblast growth factor 23, and high levels of indoxyl sulphate or leptin; meanwhile, the inhibitors are vitamin K, fetuin A, matrix G1a protein, osteoprotegerin, and pyrophosphate. A number of non-invasive imaging techniques are available to investigate cardiac and vascular calcification: plain X-rays, to identify macroscopic calcifications of the aorta and peripheral arteries; two-dimensional ultrasound for investigating the calcification of carotid arteries, femoral arteries, and aorta; echocardiography, for assessment of valvular calcification; and, of course, computed tomography technologies, which constitute the gold standard for quantification of coronary artery and aorta calcification. All these methods have a series of advantages and limitations. The treatment/ prevention of VC is currently mostly around calcium-mineral bone disease interventions, and unproven. There are interesting hypotheses around vitamin K, Magnesium, sodium thiosulphate and other potential agents.
