Could we learn more about HERA high Q2Q^2 anomaly from LEP200 and TEVATRON? R-parity violation scenario

The excess of high $Q^2$ events at HERA reported in the early 1997 by H1 and ZEUS collaborations has become the subject of extensive studies in the framework of several models related to new physics. Here we concentrate on the most promising, from our point of view, model describing HERA anomaly. We update our previous analysis and take into account new HERA statistics of the 1997 year. HERA events are considered within the R-parity broken SUSY model for a specific scenario with several non-zero couplings. R-parity broken SUSY with several non-zero couplings could explain both high $Q^2 e^+ + jets$ and $\mu^+ + jets$ observed at HERA. The consequence of such a particular scenario is the excess of high $Q^2$ di- or tri-jet events at HERA. The relation of this scenario for LEP and TEVATRON colliders is considered. This study shows that if a squark resonance does take place at HERA, supersymmetry with broken R-parity can be revealed at either LEP200 or TEVATRON in the near future.Comment: 15 pages, LaTeX file with 9 eps figure

Generalized Density Matrix Revisited: Microscopic Approach to Collective Dynamics in Soft Spherical Nuclei

The generalized density matrix (GDM) method is used to calculate microscopically the parameters of the collective Hamiltonian. Higher order anharmonicities are obtained consistently with the lowest order results, the mean field [Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov (HFB) equation] and the harmonic potential [quasiparticle random phase approximation (QRPA)]. The method is applied to soft spherical nuclei, where the anharmonicities are essential for restoring the stability of the system, as the harmonic potential becomes small or negative. The approach is tested in three models of increasing complexity: the Lipkin model, model with factorizable forces, and the quadrupole plus pairing model.Comment: submitted to Physical Review C on 08 May, 201

Multiple Scattering Theory for Slow Neutrons (from thermal to ultracold)

The general theory of neutron scattering is presented, valid for the whole domain of slow neutrons from thermal to ultracold. Particular attention is given to multiple scattering which is the dominant process for ultracold neutrons (UCN). For thermal and cold neutrons, when the multiple scattering in the target can be neglected, the cross section is reduced to the known value. A new expression for inelastic scattering cross section for UCN is proposed. Dynamical processes in the target are taken into account and their influence on inelastic scattering of UCN is analyzed.Comment: 28 pages, latex, 2 Postscript figures, submitted to the European Physical Journal

The action for the (propagating) torsion and the limits on the torsion parameters from present experimental data

Starting from the well established form of the Dirac action coupled to the electromagnetic and torsion field we find that there is some additional softly broken local symmetry associated with torsion. This symmetry fixes the form of divergences of the effective action after the spinor fields are integrated out. Then the requirement of renormalizability fixes the torsion field to be equivalent to some massive pseudovector and its action is fixed with accuracy to the values of coupling constant of torsion-spinor interaction, mass of the torsion and higher derivative terms. Implementing this action into the abelian sector of the Standard Model we establish the upper bounds on the torsion mass and coupling. In our study we used results of present experimental limits on four-fermion contact interaction (LEP, HERA, SLAC, SLD, CCFR) and TEVATRON limits on the cross section of new gauge boson, which could be produced as a resonance at high energy $p\bar{p}$ collisions.Comment: 12 pages, LaTeX, 5 figures include

WHW_H-pair Production in the Littlest Higgs Model with T parity in next-to-leading order QCD at LHC

In the framework of the littlest Higgs model with $T$ parity, we study the $W_H$-pair production at the CERN Large Hadron Collider up to the QCD next-to-leading order (NLO). The kinematic distributions of final decay products and the theoretical dependence of the cross section on the factorization/renormalization scale are analyzed. We adopt the PROSPINO scheme in the QCD NLO calculations to avoid double counting and keep the convergence of the perturbative QCD description. Our numerical results show that the QCD NLO corrections significantly reduce the scale uncertainty, and enhance the leading order integrated cross section with a $K$-factor in the range of $1.10-1.22$ ($1.09-1.17$) with the symmetry breaking scale $f$ varying from $400 GeV$ ($400 GeV$) to $1.5 TeV$ ($1.0 TeV$) at the $14 TeV$ $(8 TeV)$ LHC. We find that it is possible to select the signal events of the $W_H$-pair production from the $pp\to W^+ W^- \to e^+ \mu^-\nu_{e}\bar{\nu}_{\mu}+X$ background with high ratio of signature over background by taking proper lower limits on transverse momenta, invariant mass of the final charged leptons and the missing transverse momentum.Comment: 34 pages, 14 figures, 4 table

Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model within CompHEP software package

The Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model is presented as a model for the CompHEP software package as a set of files containing the complete Lagrangian of the MSSM, particle contents and parameters. All resources of CompHEP with a user-friendly interface are now available for the phenomenological study of the MSSM. Various special features of the model are discussed.Comment: 11 pages, LaTeX, submitted to Comp. Phys. Communicatio

Light-cone sum rules for the NγΔN\gamma\Delta transitions for real photons

We examine the radiative $\Delta \to \gamma N$ transition at the real photon point $Q^2=0$ using the framework of light-cone QCD sum rules. In particular, the sum rules for the transition form factors $G_M(0)$ and $R_{EM}$ are determined up to twist 4. The result for $G_M(0)$ agrees with experiment within 10% accuracy. The agreement for $R_{EM}$ is also reasonable. In addition, we derive new light-cone sum rules for the magnetic moments of nucleons, with a complete account of twist-4 corrections based on a recent reanalysis of photon distribution amplitudes.Comment: 34 pages, 9 figures, revised version, published in Phys.

Single top quarks at the Fermilab Tevatron

We present a calculation of the single top quark cross section for proton-antiproton interactions with sqrt(s) = 1.8 TeV at the Fermilab Tevatron collider. We examine the effects of top mass, parton distribution functions, QCD scale, and collision energy, on each of the component production mechanisms, and study the kinematic distributions for standard model electroweak production. At the upgraded Tevatron with sqrt(s) = 2.0 TeV and high luminosity, it will be possible to test the nature of the Wtb coupling using single top production. We estimate the sensitivity to measure the single top cross section, and thus to directly measure V_tb and the top quark partial width. We show what happens to the V_tb measurement when an anomalous (V+A) component is added to the Wtb coupling, and how the top quark polarization affects the kinematic distributions.Comment: 31 pages including 11 figure
