The Polarization and the Recombination Mechanism
We use the recombination and the Thomas Precession Model to obtain a
prediction for the polarization in the
reaction. We study the effect of the recombination function on the
polarization.Comment: 4 pages, LaTex, 1 figures included, aipproc.sty included. Talk

Decays Z' -> \gamma\gamma\gamma{} and Z -> \gamma\gamma\gamma{} in the minimal 331 model
The possibility of a significant effect of exotic particles on the
Z'->\gamma\gamma\gamma{} and Z->\gamma\gamma\gamma{} decays is investigated in
the context of the minimal 331 model. This model, which is based in the
SU_C(3)xSU_L(3)xU_X(1) gauge group, predicts the existence of many exotic
charged particles that can significantly enhance the decay widths. It is found
that the standard model prediction for the Z->\gamma\gamma\gamma{} decay
remains essentially unchanged, as the new physics effects quickly decouples. On
the other hand, it is found that the contributions of the new exotic quarks and
gauge bosons predicted by this model lead to a branching fraction for the
Z'->\gamma\gamma\gamma{} decay of about 10^(-6), which is about three orders of
magnitude larger than that of the Z->\gamma\gamma\gamma{} decay.Comment: 20 pages and 20 figure
Study of the lepton flavor-violating decay
The lepton flavor violating decay is studied in the
context of several extended models that predict the existence of the new gauge
boson named . A calculation of the strength of the lepton flavor
violating coupling is presented by using the most general
renormalizable Lagrangian that includes lepton flavor violation. We used the
experimental value of the muon magnetic dipole moment to bound this coupling,
from which the parameter
is constrained and it is found that
for a
boson mass of 2 TeV. Alongside, we employed the experimental
restrictions over the and processes
in the context of several models that predict the existence of the
gauge boson to bound the mentioned coupling. The most restrictive bounds come
from the calculation of the three-body decay. For this case, it was found that
the most restrictive result is provided by a vector-like coupling, denoted as
, for the case, finding around for a
boson mass of 2 TeV. We used this information to estimate the
branching ratio for the decay. According to the analyzed
models the least optimistic result is provided by the Sequential model,
which is of the order of for a boson mass around 2 TeV.Comment: Revised versio
