Project {\tt SANC} (former {\tt CalcPHEP}): Support of Analytic and Numeric calculations for experiments at Colliders
The project, aimed at the theoretical support of experiments at modern and
future accelerators -- TEVATRON, LHC, electron Linear Colliders (TESLA, NLC,
CLIC) and muon factories, is presented. Within this project a four-level
computer system is being created, which must automatically calculate, at the
one-loop precision level the pseudo- and realistic observables (decay rates and
event distributions) for more and more complicated processes of elementary
particle interaction, using the principle of knowledge storing.
It was already used for a recalculation of the EW radiative corrections for
Atomic Parity Violation [1] and complete one-loop corrections for the process
[2-4]; for the latter an, agreement up to 11 digits with
FeynArts and the other results is found. The version of {\tt SANC} that we
describe here is capable of automatically computing the decay rates and the
distributions for the decays in the one-loop
approximation.Comment: 3 Latex, Presented at ICHEP2002, Amsterdam, July 24-30, 2000;

ZFITTER v.6.21 - A Semi-Analytical Program for Fermion Pair Production in e+e- Annihilation
We describe ZFITTER, a Fortran program based on a semi-analytical approach to
fermion pair production in e+e- annihilation at a wide range of centre-of-mass
energies, including the PETRA, TRISTAN, LEP1/SLC, and LEP2 energies. A flexible
treatment of complete O(alpha) QED corrections and of some higher order
contributions is made possible with three calculational chains containing
different realistic sets of restrictions in the photon phase space. Numerical
integrations are at most one-dimensional. Complete O(alpha) weak loop
corrections supplemented by selected higher-order terms may be included. The
program calculates Delta r, the Z width, differential cross-sections, total
cross-sections, integrated forward-backward asymmetries, left-right
asymmetries, and for tau pair production also final-state polarization effects.
Various interfaces allow fits to be performed with different sets of free
parameters.Comment: 200 pages, Latex2e, 26 figures, 4 tables; uses axodraw, epsfig, epsf,

Atomic Parity-Violation and Precision Physics
The atomic parity-violation (APV) parameter QW for a nucleus with `n'
neutrons and `z' protons has been included in the list of pseudo-observables
accessible with the codes TOPAZ0 and ZFITTER. In this way one can add the APV
results in the LEP EWWG `global' electroweak fits, checking the corresponding
effect when added to the existing precision measurements.Comment: 9 Late
Universal factorized formula for the cross-section of two-particle scattering
We analyze the process of two-particle scattering with unstable particle in
an intermediate state. It was shown that the cross-section can be represented
in the universal factorized form for an arbitrary set of particles.
Phenomenological analysis of factorization effect is fulfilled.Comment: 8 pages, corrected typos. change conten
The NuTeV Anomaly, Lepton Universality, and Non-Universal Neutrino-Gauge Couplings
In previous studies we found that models with flavor-universal suppression of
the neutrino-gauge couplings are compatible with NuTeV and Z-pole data. In this
paper we expand our analysis to obtain constraints on flavor-dependent coupling
suppression by including lepton universality data from W, tau, pi and K decays
in fits to model parameters. We find that the data are consistent with a
variety of patterns of coupling suppression. In particular, in scenarios in
which the suppression arises from the mixing of light neutrinos with heavy
gauge singlet states (neutrissimos), we find patterns of flavor-dependent
coupling suppression which are also consistent with constraints from mu -> e
gamma.Comment: REVTeX4, 25 pages, 10 postscript figures. Updated fits using the new
