Single top polarisation as a window to new physics
We discuss the effect of heavy new physics, parameterised in terms of
four-fermion operators, in the polarisation of single top (anti-)quarks in the
-channel process at the LHC. It is found that for operators involving a
right-handed top quark field the relative effect on the longitudinal
polarisation is twice larger than the relative effect on the total cross
section. This enhanced dependence on possible four-fermion contributions makes
the polarisation measurements specially interesting, in particular at high
momenta.Comment: LaTeX 10 pages. v2: comments and references added, journal versio
Geodesic Structure of the Schwarzschild Black Hole in Rainbow Gravity
In this paper we study the geodesic structure of the Schwarzschild black hole
in rainbow gravity analyzing the behavior of null and time-like geodesic. We
find that the structure of the geodesics essentially does not change when the
semi-classical effects are included. However, we can distinguish different
scenarios if we take into account the effects of rainbow gravity. Depending on
the type of rainbow functions under consideration, inertial and external
observers see very different situations in radial and non radial motion of a
test particles.Comment: Version to match the accepted one in MPL
Top effective operators at the ILC
We investigate the effect of top trilinear operators in t tbar production at
the ILC. We find that the sensitivity to these operators largely surpasses the
one achievable by the LHC either in neutral or charged current processes,
allowing to probe new physics scales up to 4.5 TeV for a centre of mass energy
of 500 GeV. We show how the use of beam polarisation and an eventual energy
upgrade to 1 TeV allow to disentangle all effective operator contributions to
the Ztt and gamma tt vertices.Comment: LaTeX 13 pages. Typos corrected. Final version in JHE

Current Algebra in the Path Integral framework
In this letter we describe an approach to the current algebra based in the
Path Integral formalism. We use this method for abelian and non-abelian quantum
field theories in 1+1 and 2+1 dimensions and the correct expressions are
obtained. Our results show the independence of the regularization of the
current algebras.Comment: 8 pages, Revtex. One reference added. To appear in Mod. Phys. Lett.

Optimal quantum state reconstruction for cold trapped ions
We study the physical implementation of an optimal tomographic reconstruction
scheme for the case of determining the state of a multi-qubit system, where
trapped ions are used for defining qubits. The protocol is based on the use of
mutually unbiased measurements and on the physical information described in H.
H\"{a}ffner \emph{et. al} [Nature \textbf{438}, 643-646 (2005)]. We introduce
the concept of physical complexity for different types of unbiased measurements
and analyze their generation in terms of one and two qubit gates for trapped
ions.Comment: Accepted for publication in Phys. Rev. A as Rap. Com
