Measurement of the photon structure function at ALEPH

The photon structure function F2gamma has been measured with data taken by the ALEPH collaboration at LEP centre-of-mass energies sqrt s = 91 GeV with < Q^2 > of 9.9, 20.7 and 284 GeV^2 and sqrt s = 183 GeV with of 13.7 and 56.5 GeV^2. For the data at sqrt s = 183 GeV a two-dimensional unfolding method employing the principle of maximum entropy is used, which reduces the errors compared to one-dimensional methods.Comment: 5 pages, 5 figures, To be published in proceedings "PHOTON99

Single and pair production of heavy leptons in E6E_6 model

We investigate the single and pair production of new heavy leptons via string inspired $E_{6}$ model at future linear colliders. Signal and corresponding backgrounds for these leptons are studied. We have found that single production of heavy leptons is more relevant than that of pair production, as expected. For a maximal mixing value of 0.1, the upper mass limits of 2750 GeV in the single case and 1250 GeV in the pair production case are obtained at $\sqrt{s}=3$ TeV collider option.Comment: 14 pages, 10 figure

Simulations of Time-Resolved X-Ray Diffraction in Laue Geometry

A method of computer simulation of Time-Resolved X-ray Diffraction (TRXD) in asymmetric Laue (transmission) geometry with an arbitrary propagating strain perpendicular to the crystal surface is presented. We present two case studies for possible strain generation by short-pulse laser irradiation: (i) a thermoelastic-like analytic model; (ii) a numerical model including effects of electron-hole diffusion, Auger recombination, deformation potential and thermal diffusion. A comparison with recent experimental results is also presented.Comment: 9 pages, 11 figure

The Bose-Einstein distribution functions and the multiparticle production at high energies

The evolution properties of propagating particles produced at high energies in a randomly distributed environment are studied. The finite size of the phase space of the multiparticle production region as well as the chaoticity can be derived.Comment: 18 pages, LaTeX, no figures, no table

Intermittency and Exotic Channels

It is pointed out that accurate measurements of short-range two-particle correlations in like-charge $K\pi$ and in $\pi^ 0\pi^ 0$ channels should be very helpful in determining the origin of the \lq\lq intermittency\rq\rq\ phenomenon observed recently for the like-charge pion pairs.Comment: 5 p., plain tex, preprint T94/078(Saclay), LPTHE 94/58(Orsay

Method for Flavor Tagging in Neutral B Meson Decays

A method is proposed for tagging the flavor of neutral $B$ mesons in the study of CP-violating decay asymmetries. The method makes use of a possible difference in interactions in $B \pi$ or $B^* \pi$ systems with isospins 1/2 and 3/2, and would be particularly clean if the $I = 1/2$ systems can be detected as ``$B^{**}$'' resonances.Comment: Submitted to Phys.

Lepton flavor conserving Z -> l^+ l^-$ decays in the general two Higgs doublet model

We calculate the new physics effects to the branching ratios of the lepton flavor conserving decays Z -> l^+ l^- in the framework of the general two Higgs Doublet model. We predict the upper limits for the couplings |\bar{\xi}^{D}_{N,\mu\tau}| and |\bar{\xi}^{D}_{N,\tau\tau}| as 3\times 10^2 GeV and 1\times 10^2 GeV, respectively.Comment: 9 pages, 3 figure

High Energy Gamma--Radiation from the Galactic Center due to Neutralino Annihilation

We study the NGS (Non--dissipative Gravitational Singularity) model, which successfully describes the non--linear stage of evolution of perturbations (see [1], [2] and references therein). This model predicts DM density distribution $\rho(r) \sim r^{-\alpha}$ with $\alpha \simeq 1.8$ which holds from very small distances $r_{\rm min} \simeq 0.01~{\rm pc}$ up to very large distances $r_{\rm max} \simeq 5~{\rm Mpc}$. Assuming the neutralino to be a CDM particle, we calculate the annihilation of neutralinos in the vicinity of the singularity (Galactic Center). If neutralinos are the dominant component of DM in our Galaxy, the produced energy is enough to provide the whole observed activity of the GC. Neutralinos of the most general composition and of mass in the range 20~{\rm GeV} \leq m_\c \leq 1~{\rm TeV} are considered. We find the neutralino compositions which give the relic density needed for the Mixed Dark Matter (MDM) model and we evaluate for these compositions the high--energy ($E_{\gamma} > 100 ~{\rm MeV}$) gamma--ray flux under the constraint that the radio flux is lower than the observational limit. The compositions with the detectable gamma--ray flux which we found are provided by a set of almost pure gaugino states with the neutralino mass between $100$ and $500$ GeV. We demonstrate that a detectable high--energy gamma--ray flux is produced by the neutralino annihilation also in the case when neutralinos provide a small fraction (down to $0.1 \%$) of the DM in our Galaxy. The predicted flux is $F_\gamma \sim 10^{-7}-10^{-8}~{\rm cm}^{-2}~{\rm s}^{-1}$ for E_\gamma \gsim 300~{\rm MeV}Comment: Plain TeX 11 pages 4 figures available on request.

Radiative Corrections to Neutralino and Chargino Masses in the Minimal Supersymmetric Model

We determine the neutralino and chargino masses in the MSSM at one-loop. We perform a Feynman diagram calculation in the on-shell renormalization scheme, including quark/squark and lepton/slepton loops. We find generically the corrections are of order 6%. For a 20 GeV neutralino the corrections can be larger than 20%. The corrections change the region of $\mu,\ M_2,\ \tan\beta$ parameter space which is ruled out by LEP data. We demonstrate that, e.g., for a given $\mu$ and $\tan\beta$ the lower limit on the parameter $M_2$ can shift by 20 GeV.Comment: 11 pages, JHU-TIPAC-930030, PURD-TH-93-13, uses epsf.sty, 6 uuencoded postscript figures, added one sentence and a referenc
