Gravitational Laser Back-Scattering
A possible way of producing gravitons in the laboratory is investigated. We
evaluate the cross section electron + photon electron + graviton
in the framework of linearized gravitation, and analyse this reaction
considering the photon coming either from a laser beam or from a Compton
back-scattering process.Comment: 11 pages, 2 figures (available upon request), RevTeX, IFT-P.03/9
CP Violation in the Top-Quark Pair Production at a Next Linear Collider
We provide a detailed, model-independent, study for CP violation effects due
to the T-odd top-quark electric dipole moment (EDM) and weak dipole moment
(WDM) in the top-quark pair production via and two-photon annihilation
at a next linear collider (NLC). There are two methods in detecting CP
violation effects in these processes. One method makes use of measurements of
various spin correlations in the final decay products of the produced top-quark
pair, while the other is to measure various CP-odd polarization asymmetry
effects of the initial states. In the case only the first method can
be used, and in the case both methods can be employed. We
provide a complete classification of angular correlations of the and
decay products under CP and CP\tilde{T} which greatly faciliate CP
tests in the mode. Concentrating on the second method with the Compton
back-scattered high-energetic laser light off the electron or positron beam in
the two-photon mode, we construct two CP-odd and CP\tilde{T}-even initial
polarization configurations and apply them to investigating CP-violating
effects due to the top-quark EDM. With a typical set of experimental parameters
at the NLC, we compare the 1-\sigma sensitivities to the top-quark EDM and WDM
in the mode and the two-photon mode. Some model expectation values of
the T-odd parameters are compared with the results.Comment: 45 pages(LaTeX), 10 eps figures, uses epsfig.st
Spectroscopy of doubly charmed baryons: and
Using the quark-diquark approximation in the framework of Buchm\" uller-Tye
potential model, we investigate the spectroscopy of doubly charmed baryons:
and . Our results include the masses, parameters
of radial wave functions of states with the different excitations of both
diquark and light quark-diquark system. We calculate the values of fine and
hyperfine splittings of these levels and discuss some new features, connected
to the identity of heavy quarks, in the dynamics of hadronic and radiative
transitions between the states of these baryons.Comment: 10 pages, Latex file, 1 fig, corrected some typo
Magnetic Moments of the Baryon Decuplet in a Relativistic Quark Model
The magnetic moments of the baryon decuplet are calculated in a relativistic
constituent quark model using the light-front formalism. Of particular interest
are the magnetic moments of the and for which new
recent experimental measurements are available. Our calculation for the
magnetic moment ratio is in excellent agreement with
the experimental ratio, while our ratio is
slightly higher than the experimental ratio.Comment: 10 pages ReVTeX, SLAC-PUB-621
SUSY-induced FCNC top-quark processes at the Large Hadron Collider
We systematically calculate various flavor-changing neutral-current top-quark processes induced by supersymmetry at the Large Hadron Collider, which include five decay modes and six production channels. To reveal the characteristics of these processes, we first compare the dependence of the rates for these channels on the relevant supersymmetric parameters, then we scan the whole parameter space to find their maximal rates, including all the direct and indirect current experimental constraints on the scharm-stop flavor mixings. We find that, under all these constraints, only a few channels, through cg->t at parton-level and t-> ch, may be observable at the Large Hadron Collider
Outcome from Spontaneous CP Violation for B Decays
In the aspon model solution of the strong problem, there is a gauged
symmetry, spontaneously broken by the same vacuum expectation value
which breaks , whose massive gauge boson provides an additional mechanism
of weak violation. We calculate the asymmetries in decays for the
aspon model and show that they are typically smaller than those predicted from
the standard model. A linear relation between the asymmetries of different
decay processes is obtained.Comment: REVTEX, 9 pages, IFP-486-UNC, NSF-PT-94-1, and UDHEP-01-9
Fermionic decays of sfermions: a complete discussion at one-loop order
We present a definition of an on-shell renormalization scheme for the
sfermion and chargino-neutralino sector of the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard
Model (MSSM). Then, apply this renormalization framework to the interaction
between charginos/neutralinos and sfermions. A kind of universal corrections is
identified, which allow to define effective chargino/neutralino coupling
matrices. In turn, these interactions generate (universal) non-decoupling terms
that grow as the logarithm of the heavy mass. Therefore the full MSSM spectrum
must be taken into account in the computation of radiative corrections to
observables involving these interactions. As an application we analyze the full
one-loop electroweak radiative corrections to the partial decay widths
\Gamma(\tilde{f} -> f\neut) and \Gamma(\tilde{f} -> f'\cplus) for all sfermion
flavours and generations. These are combined with the QCD corrections to
compute the corrected branching ratios of sfermions. It turns out that the
electroweak corrections can have an important impact on the partial decay
widths, as well as the branching ratios, in wide regions of the parameter
space. The precise value of the corrections is strongly dependent on the
correlation between the different particle masses.Comment: LaTeX 53 pages, 22 figures, 3 tables. Typos correcte
Probing scalar particle and unparticle couplings in e+ e- -> t tbar with transversely polarized beams
In searching for indications of new physics scalar particle and unparticle
couplings in e^+ e^- \to t\bar t, we consider the role of transversely
polarized initial beams at e^+ e^- colliders. By using a general relativistic
spin density matrix formalism for describing the particles spin states, we find
analytical expressions for the squared amplitude of the process with t or \bar
t polarization measured, including the anomalous coupling contributions. Thanks
to the transversely polarized initial beams these contributions are first order
anomalous coupling corrections to the Standard Model (SM) contributions. We
present and analyse the main features of the SM and anomalous coupling
contributions. We show how differences between SM and anomalous coupling
contributions provide means to search for anomalous coupling manifestations at
future e^+ e^- linear colliders.Comment: 28 pages in LaTeX, including 7 encapsulated PostScript figures,
