Eliminating the low-mass axigluon window
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 Scattering
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 process.Comment: 18 pages, 8 figures, 2 table
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
3-3-1 exotic quark search at CERN LEPII-LHC
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.
Minimal 3-3-1 model, lepton mixing and muonium-antimuonium conversion
The recent experimental results on neutrino oscillation and on
muonium-antimuonium conversion require extension of the minimal 3-3-1 model. We
review the constraints imposed to the model by those measurements and suggest a
pattern of leptonic mixing, with charged leptons in a non-diagonal basis, which
accounts for the neutrino physics and circumvents the tight muonium-antimuonium
bounds on the model. We also illustrate a scenario where this pattern could be
realized.Comment: 4 pages; abbreviated version, conclusions unchange
Quantization of eletric charge, the neutrino and generation nonuniversality
text of abstract It is showed that the eletric charge quantization is
unconnected to Majorana neutrino in the non-universal generations
leptoquark-bilepton flavordynamics which includes the right-handed neutrino and
an explicit U(1) factor in the gauge semisimple group.Comment: 4 pages, latex ps, no figure
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
Signal and Backgrounds for the Single Production of Scalar and Vector Leptoquarks at the LHC
We perform a detailed analysis of the potentiality of the CERN Large Hadron
Collider to study the single production of leptoquarks via
leptoquark , with generated by the splitting of photons
radiated by the protons. Working with the most general
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 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. Uses axodraw.sty (included)

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
New Limits on Doubly Charged Bileptons from CERN LEP Data and the Search at Future Electron-Positron and Electron-Photon Colliders
We show that the accumulated LEP-II data taken at 130 to 206 GeV
can establish more restrictive bounds on doubly charged bileptons couplings and
masses than any other experiment so far. We also analyze the discovery
potential of a prospective linear collider operating in both and modes.Comment: Revised version with 14 pages, 7 figures, RevTex. To appear in Phys.
