Selectron Studies at e-e- and e+e- Colliders
Selectrons may be studied in both e-e- and e+e- collisions at future linear
colliders. Relative to e+e-, the e-e- mode benefits from negligible backgrounds
and \beta threshold behavior for identical selectron pair production, but
suffers from luminosity degradation and increased initial state radiation and
beamstrahlung. We include all of these effects and compare the potential for
selectron mass measurements in the two modes. The virtues of the e-e- collider
far outweigh its disadvantages. In particular, the selectron mass may be
measured to 100 MeV with a total integrated luminosity of 1 fb^-1, while more
than 100 fb^-1 is required in e+e- collisions for similar precision.Comment: 16 pages, 11 figure
Realistic constraints on the doubly charged bilepton couplings from Bhabha scattering with LEP data
Upper limits on doubly charged bilepton couplings and masses are extracted
from LEP data for Bhabha scattering at energy range GeV
using standard model program ZFITTER which calculates radiative corrections. We
find that at 95% C.L. for scalar and
vector bileptons.Comment: 5 pages, 1 EPS figur
Associate Sneutrino-Neutralino/Chargino Production at LEPxLHC
We examine for representative gaugino-higgsino mixing scenarios
sneutrino-neutralino and sneutrino-chargino production in deep inelastic
ep-scattering at the cm-energy of 1.8 TeV. The cross sections for
sneutrino-chargino production are more than one order of magnitude bigger than
those for sneutrino-squark production. Also for zino-like neutralinos we find
cross sections at least comparable to those for sneutrino-squark production.Comment: 9 pages, report UWITP-94/
Sfermion Pair Production in Polarized and Unpolarized Collisions
We calculate total and differential cross sections for the production of
sfermion pairs in photon-photon collisions, including contributions from
resolved photons and arbitrary photon polarization. Sfermion production in
photon collisions depends only on the sfermion mass and charge. It is thus
independent of the details of the SUSY breaking mechanism, but highly sensitive
to the sfermion charge. We compare the total cross sections for bremsstrahlung,
beamstrahlung, and laser backscattering photons to those in
annihilation. We find that the total cross section at a polarized photon
collider is larger than the annihilation cross section up to the
kinematic limit of the photon collider.Comment: 19 pages, Latex, 18 (e)ps-figure
Interface electronic states and boundary conditions for envelope functions
The envelope-function method with generalized boundary conditions is applied
to the description of localized and resonant interface states. A complete set
of phenomenological conditions which restrict the form of connection rules for
envelope functions is derived using the Hermiticity and symmetry requirements.
Empirical coefficients in the connection rules play role of material parameters
which characterize an internal structure of every particular heterointerface.
As an illustration we present the derivation of the most general connection
rules for the one-band effective mass and 4-band Kane models. The conditions
for the existence of Tamm-like localized interface states are established. It
is shown that a nontrivial form of the connection rules can also result in the
formation of resonant states. The most transparent manifestation of such states
is the resonant tunneling through a single-barrier heterostructure.Comment: RevTeX4, 11 pages, 5 eps figures, submitted to Phys.Rev.
Signal and Backgrounds for Leptoquarks at the LHC
We study the potentiality of the CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC) to unravel
the existence of first generation scalar leptoquarks.
Working with the most general invariant leptoquark
interactions, we analyze in detail the signals and backgrounds that lead to a
final state containing a pair and jets. Our results indicate that a
machine like the LHC will be able to discover leptoquarks with masses up to
2--3 TeV depending on their couplings.Comment: 37 pages, revtex, uses epsfig.sty (included), 15 figures (included
S, T, U parameters in model with right-handed neutrinos
The S, T, U parameters in the model with
right -handed neutrinos are calculated. Explicit expressions for the oblique
and Z - Z' mixing contributions are obtained. We show that the bilepton oblique
contributions to S and T parameters are bounded : and . The Z - Z' mixing contribution is positive and above 10%, but it will
increase fastly with the higher Z' mass. %can be negative. The consequent mass
splitting of the bilepton is derived and to be 15%. The limit on the mass of
the neutral bilepton in this model is obtained.Comment: Latex, axodraw.sty used, 3 figures, 18 page
Associated production of light gravitinos in e^+e^- and e^-\gamma collisions
Light gravitino productions in association with a neutralino (selectron) in
e^+e^- (e^-\gamma) collisions are restudied in a scenario that the lightest
supersymmetric particle is a gravitino and the produced neutralino (selectron)
promptly decays into a photon (electron) and a gravitino. We explicitly give
the helicity amplitudes for the production processes by using the effective
goldstino interaction Lagrangian, and present the cross sections with different
collision energies and mass spectra. We also examine selection efficiencies by
kinematical cuts and beam polarizations for the signal and background
processes, and show that the energy and angular distributions of the photon
(electron) can explore the mass of the t-channel exchange particle as well as
the mass of the decaying particle at a future e^+e^- (e^-\gamma) collider.Comment: 12 pages, 12 figures, 4 tables; references added, version to appear
