    Lie algebras and 3-transpositions

    Get PDF
    We describe a construction of an algebra over the field of order 2 starting from a conjugacy class of 3-transpositions in a group. In particular, we determine which simple Lie algebras arise by this construction. Among other things, this construction yields a natural embedding of the sporadic simple group \Fi{22} in the group 2E6(2)^2E_6(2).Comment: 23 page

    Eliminating the low-mass axigluon window

    Get PDF
    Using recent collider data, especially on the hadronic width the Z0, we exclude axigluons in the currently allowed low-mass window, namely axigluons in the mass range 50 GeV < M_A < 120 GeV. Combined with hadron collider data from di-jet production, axigluons with masses below roughly 1 TeV are now completely excluded.Comment: 8 pages, no figures, LaTe

    Charginos and Neutralinos Production at 3-3-1 Supersymmetric Model in eee^-e^- Scattering

    Get PDF
    The goal of this article is to derive the Feynman rules involving charginos, neutralinos, double charged gauge bosons and sleptons in a 3-3-1 supersymmetric model. Using these Feynman rules we will calculate the production of a double charged chargino with a neutralino and also the production of a pair of single charged charginos, both in an electron- electron eee^-e^- process.Comment: 18 pages, 8 figures, 2 table

    Lepton flavor violation at linear collider experiments in supersymmetric grand unified theories

    Get PDF
    Lepton flavor violation at linear collider experiments is discussed. We show that detectable lepton flavor violation could occur through scalar lepton pair production and decay in the supersymmetric SU(5) grand unified theory in spite of the stringent present experimental constraints by rare process searches. Possible cross sections about 40fb for an e+e- collider and 280fb for an e-e- collider are illustrated.Comment: 12 pages, including 3 figures, REVTeX, eps

    Signal and Backgrounds for the Single Production of Scalar and Vector Leptoquarks at the LHC

    Get PDF
    We perform a detailed analysis of the potentiality of the CERN Large Hadron Collider to study the single production of leptoquarks via ppe±qpp \to e^\pm q\to leptoquark e±q\to e^\pm q, with e±e^\pm generated by the splitting of photons radiated by the protons. Working with the most general SU(2)LU(1)YSU(2)_L \otimes U(1)_Y invariant effective lagrangian for scalar and vector leptoquarks, we analyze in detail the leptoquark signals and backgrounds that lead to a final state containing an e±e^\pm and a hard jet with approximately balanced transverse momenta. Our results indicate that the LHC will be able to discover leptoquarks with masses up to 2--3 TeV, depending on their type, for Yukawa couplings of the order of the electromagnetic one.Comment: Revtex, 23 pages, 11 postscript files.

    Signal and Backgrounds for Leptoquarks at the LHC II: Vector Leptoquarks

    Full text link
    We perform a detailed analyses of the CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC) capability to discover first generation vector leptoquarks through their pair production. We study the leptoquark signals and backgrounds that give rise to final states containing a pair e+e- and jets. Our results show that the LHC will be able to discover vector leptoquarks with masses up to 1.3-2.1 TeV depending on their couplings to fermions and gluons.Comment: 18 pages, 3 figures, REVTe

    Sfermion Pair Production in Polarized and Unpolarized γγ\gamma\gamma Collisions

    Full text link
    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 e+ee^+e^- annihilation. We find that the total cross section at a polarized photon collider is larger than the e+ee^+e^- annihilation cross section up to the kinematic limit of the photon collider.Comment: 19 pages, Latex, 18 (e)ps-figure

    3-3-1 exotic quark search at CERN LEPII-LHC

    Get PDF
    The 3-3-1 electroweak model is the simplest chiral extension of the standard model which predicts single and double charged bileptons and exotic quarks carrying -4/3 and 5/3 units of the positron charge. In this paper we study the possibilities of the production and decay of one of these exotic quarks at CERN LEPII-LHC collider. For typical vector bilepton, exotic quark masses and mixing angles we obtained between 20 and 750 events per year. Angular distributions are also presented.Comment: 5 pages, RevTex 3.1, 9 eps figures, to appear in Phys. Rev.
