A Novel Formulation of Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa Matrix Renormalization

Bernd A. Kniehl, Alberto Sirlin

We present a gauge-independent quark mass counterterm for the on-shell renormalization of the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa (CKM) matrix in the Standard Model that is directly expresse…

Contributions to the QCD Pressure Beyond Perturbation Theory

Klaus Lichtenegger, Daniel Zwanziger

In this article we report on a new proposal to treat the infrared problems of thermal QCD by taking into account explicitly the confining influence of the Gribov horizon. In order…

Rare Muon Decay

Rashid M. Djilkibaev, Rostislav V. Konoplich

An analytical expression for the spin-averaged amplitude squared of the rare muon decay is calculated. Monte Carlo phase space simulation using the…

Neutralino Dark Matter in the USSM

J. Kalinowski, S. F. King, J. P. Roberts

This paper provides a comprehensive discussion of neutralino dark matter within classes of extended supersymmetric models referred to as the USSM containing one additional SM singl…

Quark mixing renormalization effects in the determination of the CKM parameters |V_{ij}|

A. A. Almasy, B. A. Kniehl, A. Sirlin

We briefly review existing proposals for the renormalization of the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa (CKM) matrix and study the numerical effects of several of them on the W-boson hadroni…

Nuclear scattering of dark matter coupled to a new light scalar

Douglas P. Finkbeiner, Tracy R. Slatyer, Neal Weiner

We consider the nuclear scattering cross section for the eXciting Dark Matter (XDM) model. In XDM, the Weakly Interacting Massive Particles (WIMPs) couple to the Standard Model onl…
