Neutrino mass parameters from Kamland, SNO and other solar evidence
P. Aliani, V. Antonelli, M. Picariello +1
An updated analysis of all available neutrino oscillation evidence in Reactor (Kamland, first 145 days of data) and Solar experiments (SK day and night spectra, global rates from H…
Single-Spin Asymmetries and Transversity
Philip G. Ratcliffe
A pedagogical introduction to single-spin asymmetries (SSA's) and transversity is presented. Discussion in some detail is made of certain aspects of (SSA's) in lepton-nucleon and i…
After Sno and Before Kamland: Present and Future of Solar and Reactor Neutrino Physics
P. Aliani, V. Antonelli, R. Ferrari +2
We present a short review of the existing evidence in favor of neutrino mass and neutrino oscillations which come from different kinds of experiments. We focus our attention in par…
Heavy Quark Parameters and Vcb from Spectral Moments in Semileptonic B Decays
M. Battaglia, M. Calvi, P. Gambino +6
We extract the heavy quark masses and non-perturbative parameters from the Delphi preliminary measurements of the first three moments of the charged lepton energy and hadronic mass…
Strong interaction effects in semileptonic B decays
Nikolai Uraltsev
Strong interaction effects are addressed in connection to extracting |V_{cb}|. A comprehensive approach is described not relying on a 1/m_c expansion; it allows a percent accuracy…
QCD Corrections in Gamma_sl(B)
Nikolai Uraltsev
Short-distance expansion of the total semileptonic B widths is reviewed for the OPE-conformable scheme employing low-scale running quark masses. The third- and fourth-order BLM cor…
Applications of Nonrelativistic Effective Field Theories to quarkonium systems with a small radius
Nora Brambilla
We review some predictions of nonrelativistic effective field theories for heavy quark-antiquark systems with a small typical radius, r<1/Λ_QCD.
Soft-Gluon Resummation for Bottom Fragmentation in Top Quark Decay
Matteo Cacciari, Gennaro Corcella, Alexander D. Mitov
We study soft-gluon radiation in top quark decay within the framework of perturbative fragmentation functions. We present results for the b-quark energy distribution, accounting fo…
KamLAND, solar antineutrinos and their magnetic moment
P. Aliani, V. Antonelli, M. Picariello +1
We investigate the possibility of detecting solar antineutrinos with the KamLAND experiment. These antineutrinos are predicted by spin-flavor oscillations at a significant rate eve…
Inclusive Decays of Heavy Quarkonium to Light Particles
Nora Brambilla, Dolors Eiras, Antonio Pineda +2
We derive the imaginary part of the potential NRQCD Hamiltonian up to order 1/m^4, when the typical momentum transfer between the heavy quarks is of the order of Lambda_{QCD} or gr…
KamLAND potentiality on the determination of Neutrino mixing parameters in the post SNO-NC era
P. Aliani, V. Antonelli, M. Picariello +1
We study in detail the power of the reactor experiment kamLAND for discriminating existing solutions to the SNP and giving accurate information on neutrino masses and mixing angles…
The FLUKA atmospheric neutrino flux calculation
G. Battistoni, A. Ferrari, T. Montaruli +1
The 3-dimensional (3-D) calculation of the atmospheric neutrino flux by means of the FLUKA Monte Carlo model is here described in all details, starting from the latest data on prim…
Away-from-jet energy flow
A. Banfi, G. Marchesini, G. Smye
We consider interjet observables in hard QCD processes given by the energy flow E_out in a region away from all hard jets. Here the QCD radiation is depleted (E_out << Q), and ther…
Which solar neutrino data favour the LMA solution?
Alessandro Strumia, Carla Cattadori, Nicola Ferrari +1
Assuming neutrino oscillations, global analyses of solar data find that the LOW solution is significantly disfavoured, leaving LMA as the best solution. But the preference for LMA…
Determination of Neutrino mixing parameters after SNO oscillation evidence
P. Aliani, V. Antonelli, M. Picariello +2
An updated analysis of all available neutrino oscillation evidence in Solar experiments (SK day and night spectra, global rates from Homestake, SAGE and GALLEX) including the lates…
Search for cosmic ray sources using muons detected by the MACRO experiment
M. Ambrosio
The MACRO underground detector at Gran Sasso Laboratory recorded 60 million secondary cosmic ray muons from February 1989 until December 2000. Different techniques were used to ana…
Physics potential and experimental challenges of the LHC luminosity upgrade
F. Gianotti, M. L. Mangano, T. Virdee
We discuss the physics potential and the experimental challenges of an upgraded LHC running at an instantaneous luminosity of 10**35 cm-2s-1. The detector R&D needed to operate ATL…
Is There a Significant Excess in Bottom Hadroproduction at the Tevatron?
M. Cacciari, P. Nason
We discuss the excess in the hadroproduction of B mesons at the Tevatron. We show that an accurate use of up-to-date information on the B fragmentation function reduces the observe…
Azimuthal correlation in DIS
A. Banfi, G. Marchesini, G. Smye
We introduce the azimuthal correlation for the deep inelastic scattering process. We present the QCD prediction to the level of next-to-leading log resummation, matching to the fix…
