CP--odd Correlation in the Decay of Neutral Higgs Boson into , , or
We investigate the possibility of detecting CP--odd angular correlations in
the various decay modes of the neutral Higgs boson including the modes of a
pair, a pair, or a heavy quark pair. It is a natural way to probe
the CP character of the Higgs boson once it is identified. Final state
interactions (i.e. the absorptive decay amplitude) is not required in such
correlations. As an illustrative example we take the fundamental source of the
CP nonconservation to be in the Yukawa couplings of the Higgs boson to the
heavy fermions. A similar correlation in the process is
also proposed. Our analysis of these correlations will be useful for
experiments in future colliders such as LEP II, SSC, LHC or NLC.Comment: 16 pages, plus 8 postscript graphs not posted befor
Precision Electroweak Tests of the Minimal and Flipped SU(5) Supergravity Models
We explore the one-loop electroweak radiative corrections in the minimal
and the no-scale flipped supergravity models via explicit
calculation of vacuum polarization contributions to the
parameters. Experimentally, are obtained from a global fit
to the LEP observables, and measurements. We include -dependent
effects which have been neglected in most previous ``model-independent"
analyses of this type. These effects induce a large systematic negative shift
on for light chargino masses (m_{\chi^\pm_1}\lsim70\GeV).
In agreement with previous general arguments, we find that for increasingly
large sparticle masses, the heavy sector of both models rapidly decouples, \ie,
the values for quickly asymptote to the Standard Model
values with a {\it light} Higgs (m_{H_{SM}}\sim100\GeV). Specifically, at
present the CL upper limit on the top-quark mass is m_t\lsim175\GeV in
the no-scale flipped supergravity model. These bounds can be
strengthened for increasing chargino masses in the 50-100\GeV interval. In
particular, for m_t\gsim160\GeV, the Tevatron may be able to probe through
gluino() and squark() production up to m_{\tilde g}\approx
m_{\tilde q}\approx250\GeV, exploring at least half of the parameter space in
this model.Comment: 15 pages,(6 ps figures available upon request), TeX(harvmac),

Proton Decay and Cosmology Strongly Constrain the Minimal SU(5) Supergravity Model
We present the results of an extensive exploration of the five-dimensional
parameter space of the minimal supergravity model, including the
constraints of a long enough proton lifetime (\tau_p>1\times10^{32}\y) and a
small enough neutralino cosmological relic density ().
We find that the combined effect of these two constraints is quite severe,
although still leaving a small region of parameter space with m_{\tilde
g,\tilde q}<1\TeV. The allowed values of the proton lifetime extend up to
\tau_p\approx1\times10^{33}\y and should be fully explored by the
SuperKamiokande experiment. The proton lifetime cut also entails the following
mass correlations and bounds: m_h\lsim100\GeV,
m_\chi\approx{1\over2}m_{\chi^0_2}\approx0.15\gluino, , and m_\chi<85\,(115)\GeV,
m_{\chi^0_2,\chi^+_1}<165\,(225)\GeV for . Finally,
the {\it combined} proton decay and cosmology constraints predict that if
m_h\gsim75\,(80)\GeV then m_{\chi^+_1}\lsim90\,(110)\GeV for
. Thus, if this model is correct, at least one of
these particles will likely be observed at LEPII.Comment: 11 pages plus 5 figures (not included). CERN-TH.6628/92,

Higgs-Boson Decay to Four Fermions Including a Single Top Quark Below Threshold
The rare decay modes Higgs four light fermions, and Higgs
single top-quark + three light fermions for , are
presented, and phenomenologically interpreted. The angular correlation between
fermion planes is presented as a test of the spin and intrinsic parity of the
Higgs particle. In Higgs decay to single top, two tree-level graphs contribute
in the standard model (SM); one couples the Higgs to , and
one to t\bar t(\sim g_{top\;yukawa}=m_t/246\GeV). The large Yukawa coupling
for m_t>100\GeV makes the second amplitude competitive or dominant for most
values. Thus the Higgs decay rate to single top directly probes the
SM universal mechanism generating both gauge boson and fermion masses, and
offers a means to infer the Higgs- Yukawa coupling when is kinematically disallowed. We find that the modes at the SSC, and at future high energy,
high luminosity colliders, may be measureable if is not too far above
. We classify non-standard Higgses as gaugeo-phobic, fermio-phobic or
fermio-philic, and discuss the Higgs single top rates for these
classes.Comment: 30 pages, 6 figures (figures available upon request); VAND-TH-93/
New Constraints on Neutralino Dark Matter in the Supersymmetric Standard Model
We investigate the prospects for neutralino dark matter within the
Supersymmetric Standard Model (SSM) including the constraints from universal
soft supersymmetry breaking and radiative breaking of the electroweak symmetry.
The latter is enforced by using the one-loop Higgs effective potential which
automatically gives the one-loop corrected Higgs boson masses. We perform an
exhaustive search of the allowed five-dimensional parameter space and find that
the neutralino relic abundance depends most strongly on the
ratio . For the relic abundance is almost
always much too large, whereas for the opposite occurs. For
there are wide ranges of the remaining parameters for which
. We also determine that m_{\tilde q}\gsim250\GeV and
m_{\tilde l}\gsim100\GeV are necessary in order to possibly achieve
. These lower bounds are much weaker than the corresponding
ones derived previously when radiative breaking was {\it not} enforced.Comment: 12 pages plus 6 figures (not included), CERN-TH.6584/92,

Tevatron and LEP-II Probes of Minimal and String-Motivated Supergravity Models
We explore the ability of the Tevatron to probe Minimal Supersymmetry with
high energy scale boundary conditions motivated by supersymmetry breaking in
the context of supergravity/superstring theory. A number of boundary condition
possibilities are considered: dilaton-like string boundary conditions applied
at the standard GUT unification scale or alternatively at the string scale; and
extreme (``no-scale'') minimal supergravity boundary conditions imposed at the
GUT scale or string scale. For numerous specific cases within each scenario the
sparticle spectra are computed and then fed into ISAJET 7.07 so that explicit
signatures can be examined in detail. We find that, for some of the boundary
condition choices, large regions of parameter space can be explored via
same-sign dilepton and isolated trilepton signals. For other choices, the mass
reach of Tevatron collider experiments is much more limited. We also compare
mass reach of Tevatron experiments with the corresponding reach at LEP 200.Comment: 44 pages, requires phyzzx.tex, tables.tex, full postscript file

Juvenile Xanthogranuloma of the Paravertebral Soft Tissue in Infancy: A Report of Two Cases
Christianity, Englishness and the southern English countryside: a study of the work of H.J. Massingham
This paper explores the relationships between Christianity, Englishness, and ideas about the southern English landscape in the writings of the 1930s and 1940s rural commentator, H.J. Massingham. The paper begins by looking in general terms at the conjunction of religious and national identities in the context of national landscapes before moving on to consider in more detail one particular instance of this in the writing of H.J. Massingham. Massingham's understanding of a divine natural order, his construction of a kind of 'divine Englishness' and the way in which he relates this to particular English landscapes is explored. In particular, the paper investigates the natural, social and political power relationships which are embedded in Massingham's work, and suggests that his writing provides an interesting example of one way in which theological reasoning can reflect and reinforce concepts of a naturally ordered national identity
