Infrared behaviour and fixed points in Landau gauge QCD

Jan M. Pawlowski, Daniel F. Litim, Sergei Nedelko +1

We investigate the infrared behaviour of gluon and ghost propagators in Landau gauge QCD by means of an exact renormalisation group equation. We explain how, in general, the infrar…

The Soft Supersymmetry-Breaking Lagrangian: Theory and Applications

D. J. H. Chung, L. L. Everett, G. L. Kane +3

After an introduction recalling the theoretical motivation for low energy (100 GeV to TeV scale) supersymmetry, this review describes the theory and experimental implications of th…

Softly Massive Gravity

G. Gabadadze, M. Shifman

Large-distance modification of gravity may be the mechanism for solving the cosmological constant problem. A simple model of the large-distance modification -- four-dimensional (4D…

Comments on Noncommutative Field Theories

L. Alvarez-Gaume, M. A. Vazquez-Mozo

We discuss some aspects of noncommutative quantum field theories obtained from the Seiberg-Witten limit of string theories in the presence of an external B-field. General propertie…

W Boson Polarisation at LEP2

The OPAL collaboration, G. Abbiendi

Elements of the spin density matrix for W bosons in e+e- -> W+W- -> qqln events are measured from data recorded by the OPAL detector at LEP. This information is used calculate pola…

A Model for the Big Bounce

G. Veneziano

I motivate a proposal for modeling, at weak string coupling, the ``Big Bounce" transition from a growing-curvature phase to standard (FRW) cosmology in terms of a pressure-less den…

Perspectives for the radiative return at meson factories

H. Czyz, A. Grzelinska, J. H. Kuhn +1

The measurement of the pion form factor and, more generally, of the cross section for electron-positron annihilation into hadrons through the radiative return has become an importa…

Measurement of the partial widths of the Z into up- and down-type quarks

The OPAL collaboration, G. Abbiendi

Using the entire OPAL LEP1 on-peak Z hadronic decay sample, Z -> qbarq gamma decays were selected by tagging hadronic final states with isolated photon candidates in the electromag…

A Hidden Twelve-Dimensional SuperPoincare Symmetry In Eleven Dimensions

Itzhak Bars, Cemsinan Deliduman, Andrea Pasqua +1

First, we review a result in our previous paper, of how a ten-dimensional superparticle, taken off-shell, has a hidden eleven-dimensional superPoincare symmetry. Then, we show that…

Flavour independent search for Higgs bosons decaying into hadronic final states in e+e- collisions

The OPAL collaboration, G. Abbiendi

A search for the Higgsstrahlung process e+e- -> hZ is described, where the neutral Higgs boson h is assumed to decay into hadronic final states. In order to be sensitive to a broad…

First results on radiation damage in PbWO4 crystals exposed to a 20 GeV/c proton beam

M. Huhtinen, P. Lecomte, D. Luckey +1

We have exposed seven full length production quality crystals of the electromagnetic calorimeter (ECAL) of the CMS detector to a 20 GeV/c proton beam at the CERN PS accelerator. Th…

Topological Strings and Integrable Hierarchies

Mina Aganagic, Robbert Dijkgraaf, Albrecht Klemm +2

We consider the topological B-model on local Calabi-Yau geometries. We show how one can solve for the amplitudes by using W-algebra symmetries which encodes the symmetries of holom…

Improved Off-Shell Scattering Amplitudes in String Field Theory and New Computational Methods

Itzhak Bars, I. Y. Park

We report on new results in Witten's cubic string field theory for the off-shell factor in the 4-tachyon amplitude that was not fully obtained explicitly before. This is achieved b…

Dijet rates with symmetric E_t cuts

Andrea Banfi, Mrinal Dasgupta

We consider dijet production in the region where symmetric cuts on the transverse energy, , are applied to the jets. In this region next-to--leading order calculations are unr…

Medium-Induced Gluon Radiation off Massive Quarks Fills the Dead Cone

Nestor Armesto, Carlos A. Salgado, Urs Achim Wiedemann

We calculate the transverse momentum dependence of the medium-induced gluon energy distribution radiated off massive quarks in spatially extended QCD matter. In the absence of a me…
