Analysis of BaBar data for three meson tau decay modes using the Tauola generator
The hadronic current for the decay
calculated in the framework of the Resonance Chiral Theory with an additional
modification to include the meson is described. Implementation into
the Monte Carlo generator Tauola and fitting strategy to get the model
parameters using the one-dimensional distributions are discussed. The results
of the fit to one-dimensional mass invariant spectrum of the BaBar data are
presented.Comment: 5 pages, 1 figure. Proceedings of the 7th Edition of the

Two-photon form factors of the pi0, eta and eta-prime mesons in the chiral theory with resonances
We have developed a phenomenological approach which describes very well the
pi0, eta and eta-prime meson production in the two-photon interactions. The
simultaneous description of the pi0, eta and eta-prime meson two-photon form
factors is consistent with data in the space-like region. The obtained form
factors are implemented in the event generator EKHARA and the simulated cross
sections are presented. Uncertainties in the measured form factors coming from
the model dependence in Monte Carlo simulations are studied. The model
predictions for the form factor slopes at the origin are given and the high-Q2
limit is also discussed.Comment: 11 pages, 7 figures, 3 tables; two-column revtex4 styl
Refining the scalar and tensor contributions in τ → πππντ decays
In this article we analyze the contribution from intermediate spin-0 and spin-2 resonances to the τ → νπππ decay by means of a chiral invariant Lagrangian incorporating these mesons. In particular, we study the corresponding axial-vector form-factors. The advantage of this procedure with respect to previous analyses is that it incorporates chiral (and isospin) invariance and, hence, the partial conservation of the axial-vector current. This ensures the recovery of the right low-energy limit, described by chiral perturbation theory, and the transversality of the current in the chiral limit at all energies. Furthermore, the meson form-factors are further improved by requiring appropriate QCD high-energy conditions. We end up with a brief discussion on its implementation in the Tauola Monte Carlo and the prospects for future analyses of Belle’s data

Total and inelastic cross-sections at LHC at CM energy of 7 TeV and beyond
We discuss expectations for the total and inelastic cross-sections at LHC CM
energies {and } obtained in an eikonal minijet
model augmented by soft gluon -resummation, which we describe in some
detail. We present a band of predictions which encompass recent LHC data and
suggest that the inelastic cross-section described by two channel eikonal
models include only uncorrelated processes. We show that this interpretation of
the model is supported by the LHC data.Comment: 32 pages, 6 figures, Version to appear in Physical Review
Confronting theoretical predictions with experimental data; fitting strategy for multi-dimensional distributions
After developing a Resonance Chiral Lagrangian (RχL) model to describe hadronic τ lepton decays [18], the model was confronted with experimental data. This was accomplished using a fitting framework which was developed to take into account the complexity of the model and to ensure the numerical stability for the algorithms used in the fitting. Since the model used in the fit contained 15 parameters and there were only three 1-dimensional distributions available, we could expect multiple local minima or even whole regions of equal potential to appear. Our methods had to thoroughly explore the whole parameter space and ensure, as well as possible, that the result is a global minimum. This paper is focused on the technical aspects of the fitting strategy used. The first approach was based on re-weighting algorithm published in [17] and produced results in around two weeks. Later approach, with improved theoretical model and simple parallelization algorithm based on Inter-Process Communication (IPC) methods of UNIX system, reduced computation time down to 2-3 days. Additional approximations were introduced to the model decreasing time to obtain the preliminary results down to 8 hours. This allowed to better validate the results leading to a more robust analysis published in [12]
Review of e
In this talk we review the current experimental status of electron-positron annihilation into π+π-η as well as the theoretical models to describe the data. Application of the CVC hypothesis to get the τ- decay to π-π0η branching fraction is discussed and its values from the different experiments is listed
p – air production cross-section and uncorrelated mini-jets processes in pp-scattering
For the p – air production cross-section, we use a Glauber formalism which inputs the pp inelastic cross-section from a mini-jet model embedded in a single-channel eikonal expression, that provides the needed contribution of uncorrelated processes. It is then shown that current LO parton density functions for the pp mini-jet cross-sections, with a rise tempered by acollinearity induced by soft gluon re-summation, are well suited to reproduce recent cosmic ray results. By comparing results for GRV, MRST72 and MSTW parametrizations, we estimate the uncertainty related to the low-x behavior of these densities.(FQM 6552, FQM 101). D.A.F. acknowledges the São
