Cosmology of the invisible axion

J Preskill, MB Wise, F Wilczek - Physics Letters B, 1983 - Elsevier
We identify a new cosmological problem for models which solve the strong CP puzzle with
an invisible axion, unrelated to the domain wall problem. Because the axion is very weakly …

Weak decays of heavy mesons in the static quark approximation

N Isgur, MB Wise - Physics Letters B, 1989 - Elsevier
When one or more quarks are heavy compared to hadronic scales, some new symmetries
appear in the low energy effective lagrangian for QCD. We exploit these static quark …

Weak transition form factors between heavy mesons

N Isgur, MB Wise - Physics Letters B, 1990 - Elsevier
We present an extension of our earlier observations on symmetries in operation in the weak
decays of heavy mesons containing a single heavy quark. The new symmetries allow us to …

Modulus stabilization with bulk fields

WD Goldberger, MB Wise - Physical Review Letters, 1999 - APS
We propose a mechanism for stabilizing the size of the extra dimension in the Randall-Sundrum
scenario. The potential for the modulus field that sets the size of the fifth dimension is …

Semileptonic B and D decays in the quark model

N Isgur, D Scora, B Grinstein, MB Wise - Physical Review D, 1989 - APS
We predict the matrix elements and resulting electron spectra for semileptonic meson decays
using the quark potential model. Particular attention is paid to the high-energy electron end-…

Constraints on generalized inflationary cosmologies

LF Abbott, MB Wise - Nuclear physics B, 1984 - Elsevier
We consider cosmologies having an inflationary period during which the Robertson-Walker
scale factor is an arbitrary function of time satisfying R ̈ > 0 (not necessarily an exponential)…

Minimal low-energy supergravity

L Alvarez-Gaume, J Polchinski, MB Wise - Nuclear Physics B, 1983 - Elsevier
We discuss the motivation for considering models of particle physics based on 0=1 supergravity.
Analysis of the scalar potential for such models suggests a minimal low energy sector. …

Low-energy supersymmetry

L Alvarez-Gaume, M Claudson, MB Wise - Nuclear Physics B, 1982 - Elsevier
We discuss the problem of constructing a model in which supersymmetry is unbroken down
to low energies. It is suggested that the scalar partners of quarks and leptons may get their …

Inclusive semileptonic and polarized decays from QCD

AV Manohar, MB Wise - Physical Review D, 1994 - APS
… to second order in the 1/mb expansion. Most of the 1/mb corrections have a simple physical
… There is a subtlety in the use of the equations of motion at order 1/mb in the heavy quark …

Chiral perturbation theory for hadrons containing a heavy quark

MB Wise - Physical Review D, 1992 - APS
An effective Lagrangian that describes the low-momentum interactions of mesons containing
a heavy quark with the pseudo Goldstone bosons π, K, and η is constructed. It is invariant …
