Reference standards and reference multipliers for the comparison of the citation impact of papers published in different time periods

TL;DR: In this paper, reference standards and reference multipliers are suggested as a means to compare the citation impact of earlier research publications in physics (from the period of “Little Science” in the early 20th century) with that of contemporary papers.

Susy vacua versus chiral fermions

TL;DR: In this paper, the properties of supersymmetric ground states in a class of four-dimensional theories with chiral fermions are investigated, and the authors show that the conditions on such ground states conflict with a small-size instanton effect which, unless unexpectedly cancelled, spontaneously breaks supersymmetry.

Extension of PT-symmetric quantum mechanics to the Dirac theory with position-dependent mass

TL;DR: In this paper, the exact solvable PT-symmetric potentials were constructed in the framework of the position-dependent effective mass Dirac equation with the vector potential coupling scheme in 1 + 1 dimensions.

Analysis of the NMSSM Higgs Boson Masses at One-Loop Level

TL;DR: In this paper, the one-loop corrections to the neutral NMSSM Higgs boson masses and mixings are calculated in three different renormalization schemes and the dependence on the value of the top quark mass is investigated.

Threshold resummation for slepton-pair production at hadron colliders

TL;DR: In this paper, threshold resummation effects for supersymmetric (SUSY) particle production at hadron colliders were studied, focusing on Drell-Yan like slepton-pair and Slepton-sneutrino associated production.

Chiral-symmetry breakdown in large-N chromodynamics

TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that in the limit of a large number of colors, under reasonable assumptions, this symmetry group must spontaneously break down to diagonal σ(n) under chiral conditions.

On constrained instantons

TL;DR: In this article, a simple method is presented for doing systematic constrained instanton calculations in models such as φ4 or Higgs theories where the presence of a mass term prevents the existence of a classical solution.
