ATLAS sensitivity range for the x_s measurement
Previous results for the prospects of B_s mixing measurement in the ATLAS
experiment at LHC are updated. The improved analysis method of the studied
decay channels B_s -> D_s pi and B_s -> D_s a_1, combined with most recent
values for the branching ratios and the B_s lifetime, leads to the new ATLAS
sensitivity range for the x_s measurement: x_s^{max} = 42. An extensive study
is done in order to estimate how x_s^{max} is influenced by the B-decay
proper-time resolution of the vertex detector, as well as by the number of
events and by the signal-to-background ratio.Comment: 17 pages, incl. 12 figure
Searching for physics beyond the Standard Model in the decay B+ -> K+K+pi-
The observation potential of the decay B+ -> K+K+pi- with the ATLAS detector
at LHC is described in this paper. In the Standard Model this decay mode is
highly suppressed, while in models beyond the Standard Model it could be
significantly enhanced. To improve the selection of the K+K+pi- final state, a
charged hadron identification using Time-over-Threshold measurements in the
ATLAS Transition Radiation Tracker was developed and used.Comment: 12 pages, 4 figures, 1 tabl
Atlas Data-Challenge 1 on NorduGrid
The first LHC application ever to be executed in a computational Grid
environment is the so-called ATLAS Data-Challenge 1, more specifically, the
part assigned to the Scandinavian members of the ATLAS Collaboration. Taking
advantage of the NorduGrid testbed and tools, physicists from Denmark, Norway
and Sweden were able to participate in the overall exercise starting in July
2002 and continuing through the rest of 2002 and the first part of 2003 using
solely the NorduGrid environment. This allowed to distribute input data over a
wide area, and rely on the NorduGrid resource discovery mechanism to find an
optimal cluster for job submission. During the whole Data-Challenge 1, more
than 2 TB of input data was processed and more than 2.5 TB of output data was
produced by more than 4750 Grid jobs.Comment: Talk from the 2003 Computing in High Energy Physics and Nuclear

CP violation in the inclusive b -> s g decay in the framework of multi Higgs doublet models
We study the decay width and CP asymmetry of the inclusive process b--> s g
(g denotes gluon) in the multi Higgs doublet models with complex Yukawa
couplings, including next to leading QCD corrections. We analyse the
dependencies of the decay width and CP asymmetry on the scale \mu and CP
violating parameter \theta. We observe that there exist an enhancement in the
decay width and CP asymmetry is at the order of 10^{-2}.Comment: 11 pages, 8 Figure

Charm multiplicity and the branching ratios of inclusive charmless b quark decays in the general two-Higgs-doublet models
In the framework of general two-Higgs-doublet models, we calculate the
branching ratios of various inclusive charmless b decays by using the low
energy effective Hamiltonian including next-to-leading order QCD corrections,
and examine the current status and the new physics effects on the determination
of the charm multiplicity and semileptonic branching ratio .
Within the considered parameter space, the enhancement to the ratio due to the charged-Higgs penguins can be as large as a factor of 8 (3) in
the model III (II), while the ratio can be increased from
the standard model prediction of 2.49% to 4.91% (2.99%) in the model III (II).
Consequently, the value of and can be decreased simultaneously
in the model III. The central value of will be lowered slightly by
about 0.003, but the ratio can be reduced significantly from the
theoretical prediction of in the SM to , for GeV, respectively. We find that
the predicted and the measured now agree within roughly one
standard deviation after taking into account the effects of gluonic charged
Higgs penguins in the model III with a relatively light charged Higgs boson.Comment: 25 pages, Latex file, axodraw.sty, 6 figures. Final version to be
