b --> s g g decay in the two and three Higgs doublet models with CP violating effects

We study the decay width and CP-asymmetry of the inclusive process b--> s g g (g denotes gluon) in the three and two Higgs doublet models with complex Yukawa couplings. We analyse the dependencies of the differential decay width and CP-asymmetry to the s- quark energy E_s and CP violating parameter \theta. We observe that there exist a considerable enhancement in the decay width and CP asymmetry is at the order of 10^{-2}. Further, it is possible to predict the sign of C_7^{eff} using the CP asymmetry.Comment: 15 pages, 7 Figures (required epsf style

Resonant Bound State Production at e- e- Colliders

Observation of a sequence of resonances at an e-e- collider would suggest bound states of strongly coupled constituents carrying lepton number. Obvious candidates for these exotic constituents are leptoquarks and leptogluons. We show that under reasonable assumptions, the existence of one leptogluon flavor of appropriate mass can give rise to sizeable ``leptoglueball'' production rates and observable resonance peaks. In contrast, one needs two leptoquark flavors in order to produce the analogous ``leptoquarkonium'' states. Moreover, cross-generational leptoquark couplings are necessary to give observable event rates in many cases, and leptoquarkonium mass splittings are too small to resolve with realistic beam energy resolutions.Comment: 8 pages, 1 table, plain TeX, requires harvmac.

Higgs-photon associated production at hadron colliders

We present cross sections for the reactions $p\bar{p} --> H\gamma$ and $pp --> H\gamma$ arising from the subprocess $q\bar{q} --> H\gamma$. The calculation includes the complete one-loop contribution from all light quarks and is the main source of Higgs-photon associated production in hadron colliders. At Tevatron energies, the cross section is typically 0.1fb or less, while at LHC energies it can exceed 1.0fb

Lepto-mesons, Leptoquarkonium and the QCD Potential

We consider bound states of heavy leptoquark-antiquark pairs (lepto-mesons) as well as leptoquark-antileptoquark pairs (leptoquarkonium). Unlike the situation for top quarks, leptoquarks (if they exist) may live long enough for these hadrons to form. We study the spectra and decay widths of these states in the context of a nonrelativistic potential model which matches the recently calculated two-loop QCD potential at short distances to a successful phenomenological quarkonium potential at intermediate distances. We also compute the expected number of events for these states at future colliders.Comment: 12 pages, 1 figure, 3 tables, plain TeX, requires harvmac.
