Investigating the Supersymmetric Explanation of Anomalous CDF lepton(s) photon(s) Missing-E_T Events

B. C. Allanach, S. Lola, K. Sridhar

The recent excess over the Standard Model prediction in the μγmissing-E_T channel reported by CDF can be well-explained by resonant smuon production with a single dominant R-parity…

Kinetic equation for gluons at the early stage

Qun Wang, Krzysztof Redlich, Horst Stöcker +1

We derive the kinetic equation for pure gluon QCD plasma in a general way, applying the background field method. We show that the quantum kinetic equation contains a term as in the…

Orientifolds of the 3-sphere

Constantin Bachas, Nicolas Couchoud, Paul Windey

We study the geometry of orientifolds in the SU(2) WZW model. They correspond to the two inequivalent, orientation-reversing involutions of , whose fixed-point sets are: the n…

Noncommutative Field Theory and the Dynamics of Quantum Hall Fluids

J. L. F. Barbon, A. Paredes

We study the spectrum of density fluctuations of Fractional Hall Fluids in the context of the noncommutative hidrodynamical model of Susskind. We show that, within the weak-field e…

On dimensional regularization of sums

Roberto Contino, Andrea Gambassi

We discuss a systematic way to dimensionally regularize divergent sums arising in field theories with an arbitrary number of physical compact dimensions or finite temperature. The…

Radiative return at NLO and the measurement of the hadronic cross-section in electron-positron annihilation

G. Rodrigo, H. Czyz, J. H. Kuhn +1

Electron-positron annihilation into hadrons plus an energetic photon from initial state radiation allows the hadronic cross-section to be measured over a wide range of energies. Th…
