Gravitational memory, a residual change, arises after a finite gravitational wave pulse interacts with free masses. We calculate the memory effect in massive gravity as a function of the graviton mass (mg) and show that it is discretely different from the result of general relativity: the memory is reduced not just via the usual expected Yukawa decay but by a numerical factor which survives even in the massless limit. For the strongest existing bounds on the graviton mass, the memory is essentially wiped out for the sources located at distances above 10 Mpc. On the other hand, for the weaker bounds found in the LIGO observations, the memory is reduced to zero for distances above 0.1 Pc. Hence, we suggest that careful observations of the gravitational wave memory effect can rule out the graviton mass or significantly bound it. We also show that adding higher curvature terms reduces the memory effect.

Neutrino oscillations induced by spacetime torsion Adak, M; Dereli, T; Ryder, LH (IOP Publishing, 2001-04-21) The gravitational neutrino oscillation problem is studied by considering the Dirac Hamiltonian in a Riemann-Cartan spacetime and calculating the dynamical phase. Torsion contributions which depend on the spin direction of the mass eigenstates are found. These effects are of the order of Planck scales.
Electric dipole moments of charged leptons in the split fermion scenario in the two Higgs doublet model Iltan, EO (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2005-11-01) We predict the charged lepton electric dipole moments in the split fermion scenario in the framework of the two Higgs doublet model. We observe that the numerical value of the muon (tau) electric dipole moment is of the order of the magnitude of 10(-22) e cm (10(-20) e cm) and there is an enhancement in the case of two extra dimensions, especially for the tau lepton electric dipole moment.
Charged lepton electric dipole moments with localized leptons and new Higgs doublet in the two Higgs doublet model Iltan, E. O. (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2007-08-01) We study the electric dipole moments of the leptons in the split fermion scenario, in the two Higgs doublet model, where the new Higgs scalars are localized around the origin in the extra dimension, with the help of the localizer field. We observe that the numerical value of the electric dipole moment of the electron (muon, tau) is of the order of the magnitude of 10(-31) ( 10(-24), 10(-22)) (e cm), and this quantity is sensitive to the new Higgs localization in the extra dimension.
Precise determination of the mass of the Higgs boson and tests of compatibility of its couplings with the standard model predictions using proton collisions at 7 and 8 TeV Khachatryan, V.; et. al. (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2015-05-01) Properties of the Higgs boson with mass near 125 GeV are measured in proton-proton collisions with the CMS experiment at the LHC. Comprehensive sets of production and decay measurements are combined. The decay channels include gamma gamma, ZZ, WW, tau tau, bb, and mu mu pairs. The data samples were collected in 2011 and 2012 and correspond to integrated luminosities of up to 5.1 fb(-1) at 7 TeV and up to 19.7 fb(-1) at 8 TeV. From the high-resolution gamma gamma and ZZ channels, the mass of the Higgs boson ...
Energy distribution in Reissner-Nordstrom anti-de Sitter black holes in the Moller prescription Salti, M.; Aydogdu, O. (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2006-07-01) The energy (due to matter plus fields including gravity) distribution of the Reissner-Nordstrom anti-de Sitter (RN AdS) black holes is studied by using the Moller energy-momentum definition in general relativity. This result is compared with the energy expression obtained by using the Einstein and Tolman complexes. The total energy depends on the black hole mass M and charge Q and the cosmological constant A. The energy distribution of the RN AdS is also calculated by using the M phi ller prescription in te...
