Solar Mikheyev-Smirnov-Wolfenstein Effect with Three Generations of Neutrinos

Per Osland, Tai Tsun Wu

Under the assumption that the density variation of the electrons can be approximated by an exponential function, the solar Mikheyev-Smirnov-Wolfenstein effect is treated for three…

Resummation of thrust distributions in DIS

Vito Antonelli, Mrinal Dasgupta, Gavin P. Salam

We calculate the resummed distributions for the thrust in DIS in the limit T->1. Two variants of the thrust are considered: that normalised to Q/2, and that normalised to the energ…

Diffractive production of high pt photons at HERA

B E Cox, J R Forshaw

We study the diffractive production of high pt photons at HERA. We have implemented the process as a new hard sub-process in the HERWIG event generator in order to prepare the grou…

BFKL dynamics at hadron colliders

Carlo Ewerz, Lynne H. Orr, W. James Stirling +1

Hadron colliders can provide important tests of BFKL `small-x' dynamics. We discuss two examples of such tests, the inclusive dijet jet cross section at large rapidity separation a…

Invisible Axions and Large-Radius Compactifications

Keith R. Dienes, Emilian Dudas, Tony Gherghetta

We study some of the novel effects that arise when the QCD axion is placed in the ``bulk'' of large extra spacetime dimensions. First, we find that the mass of the axion can become…

The Photon Structure from Deep Inelastic Electron-Photon Scattering

Richard Nisius

The present knowledge of the structure of the photon is presented with emphasis on measurements of the photon structure obtained from deep inelastic electron-photon scattering at e…

Indirect search for supersymmetry in rare B decays

C. Greub, T. Hurth, D. Wyler

QCD corrections to the gluino induced contribution to b --> s gamma are shown to be important in order to extract reliable bounds on the off-diagonal elements of the squark mass ma…

Resolving ambiguities in the neutrino mass-flavour spectrum from supernova neutrinos

Amol S. Dighe

We analyze the neutrino conversions inside a supernova in the 3 mixing scheme, and their effects on the neutrino spectra observed at the earth. We find that the observations of…

HERWIG 6.1 Release Note

G. Corcella, I. G. Knowles, G. Marchesini +5

A new version of the Monte Carlo program HERWIG (version 6.1) is now available. This note gives brief details of the new features relative to the previous version (5.9). A fully up…

Charged-Lepton-Flavour Violation in the Light of the Super-Kamiokande Data

John Ellis, M. E. Gomez, G. K. Leontaris +2

Motivated by the data from Super-Kamiokande and elsewhere indicating oscillations of atmospheric and solar neutrinos, we study charged-lepton-flavour violation, in particular the r…

Results on direct CP violation from NA48

Giles Barr

A report on the recent measurement of epsilon-prime, which characterises direct CP violation in the neutral kaon system, by the NA48 collaboration.

Theoretical Aspects of Particle Production

B. R. Webber

These lectures describe some of the latest data on particle production in high-energy collisions and compare them with theoretical calculations and models based on QCD. The main to…

Vector Fields, Flows and Lie Groups of Diffeomorphisms

A. Peterman

The freedom in choosing finite renormalizations in quantum field theories (QFT) is characterized by a set of parameters , which specify the renormaliza…

CP Violation and Rare Kaon Decays

Gerhard Buchalla

We summarize both the study of CP violation with and mesons, as well as rare decays of kaons, emphasizing recent developments. The topics discussed include the unitarity tr…

Exclusive semileptonic B decays: lattice results and dispersive bounds

Laurent Lellouch

The current status of lattice and dispersive bound calculations for exclusive semileptonic B decays is reviewed. Emphasis is placed on decays relevant for the measurement of the si…

Detection of Pionium with DIRAC

A. Lanaro

The aim of the DIRAC experiment at CERN is to provide an accurate determination of S-wave pion-pion scattering lengths from the measurement of the lifetime of the pi+ pi- atom. The…

M Theory on the Stiefel manifold and 3d Conformal Field Theories

A. Ceresole, G. Dall'Agata, R. D'Auria +1

We compute the mass and multiplet spectrum of M theory compactified on the product of AdS(4) spacetime by the Stiefel manifold V(5,2)=SO(5)/SO(3), and we use this information to de…

The Supermoduli Space of Matrix String Theory

Ph. Brax

We study matrix string scattering amplitudes and matrix string instantons on a marked Riemann surface in the limit of a vanishing string coupling constant. We give an explicit para…

Supersymmetric Dark Matter and the Energy of a Linear Electron-Positron Collider

John Ellis, Gerardo Ganis, Keith A. Olive

We suggest that supersymmetric dark matter be used to set the energy scale of a linear collider. Assuming that the lightest supersymmetric particle (LSP) is a stable neut…

An Analysis of B_s Decays in the Left-Right-Symmetric Model with Spontaneous CP Violation

Patricia Ball, Robert Fleischer

Non-leptonic B_s decays into CP eigenstates that are caused by \bar b -> \bar cc\bar s quark-level transitions, such as B_s -> D_s^+D^-_s, J/psi eta^(') or J/psi phi, provide a pow…

A Causal Entropy Bound

R. Brustein, G. Veneziano

The identification of a causal-connection scale motivates us to propose a new covariant bound on entropy within a generic space-like region. This "causal entropy bound", scaling as…
