what is mass hierarchy problem.i have some idea of solving this ,i can do lot of mathematics but i want to understand fine tuning,and i want why supersymmetry is preferred to solve mass hierarchy problem
 
Physics news on Phys.org
The mass hierarchy problem asks one simple question: Why are the masses of ordinary particles almost negligible compared to the Planck mass? I don't know the answer

Frank Wilczek had a series of 3 articles in "Physics Today" around 2001
that dealt with that
(only in a speculative way
because it is an unsolved problem
but as he is a majorleague theorist with very broad clear vision
it can still be enlightening to read his opinions
you can learn something although the answer is not known)

I think you can find it by googling Wilczek and the title
"Scaling Mount Planck"

---------------------------

Shakeel, maybe you can tell me something about the mass h. problem.
You may already have made some progress.
Wilczek poses the question of why the Planck mass is a big number (13 quintillion, 13 x 1018) times the proton mass

or why the proton mass is so small in natural units---- 1/(13 quintillion) of the Planck mass.

and he tries to conjecture some explanation for this, but I think without
presuming supersymmetry

do you have some idea of how people now explain this?

Well, I'm simulating a neutron-proton scattering phase shift. The equation that I solve numerically is the Phase function method and is $$ \frac{d}{dr}[\delta_{i+1}] = \frac{2\mu}{\hbar^2}\frac{V(r)}{k^2}\sin(kr + \delta_i)$$ ##\delta_i## is the phase shift for triplet and singlet state, ##\mu## is the reduced mass for neutron-proton, ##k=\sqrt{2\mu E_{cm}/\hbar^2}## is the wave number and ##V(r)## is the potential of interaction like Yukawa, Wood-Saxon, Square well potential, etc. I first...
Toponium is a hadron which is the bound state of a valance top quark and a valance antitop quark. Oversimplified presentations often state that top quarks don't form hadrons, because they decay to bottom quarks extremely rapidly after they are created, leaving no time to form a hadron. And, the vast majority of the time, this is true. But, the lifetime of a top quark is only an average lifetime. Sometimes it decays faster and sometimes it decays slower. In the highly improbable case that...
I'm following this paper by Kitaev on SL(2,R) representations and I'm having a problem in the normalization of the continuous eigenfunctions (eqs. (67)-(70)), which satisfy \langle f_s | f_{s'} \rangle = \int_{0}^{1} \frac{2}{(1-u)^2} f_s(u)^* f_{s'}(u) \, du. \tag{67} The singular contribution of the integral arises at the endpoint u=1 of the integral, and in the limit u \to 1, the function f_s(u) takes on the form f_s(u) \approx a_s (1-u)^{1/2 + i s} + a_s^* (1-u)^{1/2 - i s}. \tag{70}...
