Double beta decay of : the deformed limit
The double beta decay of to the ground state and excited states of
is analysed in the context of the pseudo SU(3) scheme. The results
of this deformed limit are compared with the vibrational one based on the QRPA
formalism. Consistency between the deformed limit and the experimental
information is found for various transitions, although, in this
approximation some energies and B(E2) intensities cannot reproduced.Comment: 16 pages, revtex, no figures. Submmitted to Phys. Rev.
Classical mappings of the symplectic model and their application to the theory of large-amplitude collective motion
We study the algebra Sp(n,R) of the symplectic model, in particular for the
cases n=1,2,3, in a new way. Starting from the Poisson-bracket realization we
derive a set of partial differential equations for the generators as functions
of classical canonical variables. We obtain a solution to these equations that
represents the classical limit of a boson mapping of the algebra. The
relationship to the collective dynamics is formulated as a theorem that
associates the mapping with an exact solution of the time-dependent Hartree
approximation. This solution determines a decoupled classical symplectic
manifold, thus satisfying the criteria that define an exactly solvable model in
the theory of large amplitude collective motion. The models thus obtained also
provide a test of methods for constructing an approximately decoupled manifold
in fully realistic cases. We show that an algorithm developed in one of our
earlier works reproduces the main results of the theorem.Comment: 23 pages, LaTeX using REVTeX 3.
SUPERSYMMETRY REACH OF AN UPGRADED TEVATRON COLLIDER
We examine the capability of a TeV Tevatron collider
to discover supersymmetry, given a luminosity upgrade to amass of
data. We compare with the corresponding reach of the Tevatron Main Injector
( of data). Working within the framework of minimal supergravity
with gauge coupling unification and radiative electroweak symmetry breaking, we
first calculate the regions of parameter space accessible via the clean
trilepton signal from \tw_1\tz_2\to 3\ell +\eslt production, with detailed
event generation of both signal and major physics backgrounds. The trilepton
signal can allow equivalent gluino masses of up to GeV to
be probed if is small. If is large, then GeV can
be probed for and large values of , the
rate for \tz_2\to\tz_1\ell\bar{\ell} is suppressed by interference effects,
and there is {\it no} reach in this channel. We also examine regions where the
signal from \tw_1\overline{\tw_1}\to \ell\bar{\ell}+\eslt is detectable.
Although this signal is background limited, it is observable in some regions
where the clean trilepton signal is too small. Finally, the signal
\tw_1\tz_2\to jets+\ell\bar{\ell} +\eslt can confirm the clean trilepton
signal in a substantial subset of the parameter space where the trilepton
signal can be seen. We note that although the clean trilepton signal may allow
Tevatron experiments to identify signals in regions of parameter space beyond
the reach of LEP II, the dilepton channels generally probe much the same region
as LEP II.Comment: 19 page REVTEX file; a uuencoded PS file with PS figures is available

SIGNALS FOR MINIMAL SUPERGRAVITY AT THE CERN LARGE HADRON COLLIDER: MULTI-JET PLUS MISSING ENERGY CHANNEL,
We use ISAJET to perform a detailed study of the missing transverse energy
\eslt plus multi-jet signal expected from superparticle production at the
CERN LHC. Our analysis is performed within the framework of the minimal
supergravity model with gauge coupling unification and radiative electroweak
symmetry breaking. We delineate the region of parameter space where the \eslt
supersymmetry signal should be observable at the LHC and compare it to the
regions explorable via searches for sleptons and for chargino/neutralino
production. We confirm that, given a data sample of 10~\fb^{-1}, GeV can be explored if m_{\tq}\gg m_{\tg}, while GeV
can be probed if m_{\tq}\simeq m_{\tg}. We further examine what information
can be gleaned from scrutinizing this event sample. For instance, the multi-jet
multiplicity yields information on whether squark production makes a
significant contribution to the observed \eslt sample. Furthermore,
reconstructing hemispheric masses may yield a measure of to . Finally, for favourable ranges of parameters, by reconstructing
masses of tagged jet pairs, it may be possible to detect Higgs
bosons produced via sparticle cascade decay chains.Comment: 22 pages (REVTEX); a PS text file (etmiss.ps) and 12 figures

Anomaly-Free Gauged R-Symmetry
We review the gauging of an R-symmetry in local and global susy. We then
construct the first anomaly-free models. We break the R-symmetry and susy at
the Planck scale and discuss the low-energy effects. We include a solution to
the mu-problem, and the prediction of observable effects at HERA. The models
also nicely allow for GUT-scale baryogenesis and R-parity violation without the
sphaleron interactions erasing the baryon-asymmetry.Comment: 6 pages, latex, no figures. Talk presented at SUSY-95. Work done in

Naturalness and superpartner masses or when to give up on weak scale supersymmetry
Superpartner masses cannot be arbitrarily heavy if supersymmetric extensions
of the standard model explain the stability of the gauge hierarchy. This
ancient and hallowed motivation for weak scale supersymmetry is often quoted,
yet no reliable determination of this upper limit on superpartner masses
exists. In this paper we compute upper bounds on superpartner masses in the
minimal supersymmetric model, and we identify which values of the superpartner
masses correspond to the most natural explanation of the hierarchy stability.
We compare the most natural value of these masses and their upper limits to the
physics reach of current and future colliders. As a result, we find that
supersymmetry could explain weak scale stability naturally even if no
superpartners are discovered at LEP II or the Tevatron (even with the Main
Injector upgrade). However, we find that supersymmetry cannot provide a
complete explanation of weak scale stability, if squarks and gluinos have
masses beyond the physics reach of the LHC. Moreover, in the most natural
scenarios, many sparticles, for example, charginos, squarks, and gluinos, lie
within the physics reach of either LEP II or the Tevatron. Our analysis
determines the most natural value of the chargino (squark) ((gluino)) mass
consistent with current experimental constraints is 50 (250) ((250)) GeV
and the corresponding theoretical upper bound is 250 (700) ((800)) GeV.Comment: 14 pages, LaTex, 17 figures uuencoded, gz-compressed file. Minor
