Chargino searches at LEP for complex MSSM parameters

Nabil Ghodbane, Stavros Katsanevas, Imad Laktineh +1

We reanalyze the results of the chargino searches at LEP (on the basis of the DELPHI 189 GeV data sample), including the possibility of complex MSSM parameters. We point out the po…

Coordinate Space Distributions of Antiquark Flavor Asymmetries in the Proton

Ernest M. Henley, Thorsten Renk, Wolfram Weise

We examine the space-time properties of the distribution (dbar - ubar) and dbar/ubar in the proton. The difference of the antiquark distributions shows the expected peak at the app…

Is nonperturbative inflatino production during preheating a real threat to cosmology?

Rouzbeh Allahverdi, Mar Bastero-Gil, Anupam Mazumdar

We discuss toy models where supersymmetry is broken due to non-vanishing time-varying vacuum expectation value of the inflaton field during preheating. We discuss the production of…

Direct Detection of Neutralino Dark Matter and the Anomalous Dipole Moment of the Muon

Manuel Drees, Yeong Gyun Kim, Tatsuo Kobayashi +1

We compare predictions for the spin-independent contribution to the neutralino-proton scattering cross section $\sig$ and for the anomalous magnetic dipole moment of the muon, $a_μ…

Twist-3 contribution to the amplitude in the Wandzura-Wilczek approximation

N. Kivel, L. Mankiewicz

We have calculated the Wandzura-Wilczek contribution to the twist-3 part of amplitude. It describes interaction of the longitudinally polarized virtual photon with the…

g_1 at low x and low Q^2 with Polarized ep Colliders

Steven D. Bass, Albert De Roeck

Measurements of g_1 at low x and low Q^2 are expected to provide a sensitive probe of the transition from Regge to perturbative QCD dynamics, offering a new testing ground for mode…

A Lower Bound on sin 2βfrom Minimal Flavour Violation

Andrzej J. Buras, Robert Buras

We point out that there exists an absolute lower bound on sin 2βin all models with minimal flavour violation (MFV), that do not have any new operators beyond those present in the S…

A Comparison of the Physics Potential of Future Long Baseline Neutrino Oscillation Experiments

K. Dick, M. Freund, P. Huber +1

We compare the generic physics potential of various combinations of conventional Wide Band or Neutrino Factory Beams with different detectors to determine several oscillation param…

Coherence Effects in Diffractive Electroproduction of rho Mesons from Nuclei

T. Renk, G. Piller, W. Weise

A systematic multiple scattering formalism for vector meson electroproduction from nuclei is developed, with emphasis on the formation, propagation and hadronization scales for qua…

Thermal Dileptons from Quark and Hadron Phases of an Expanding Fireball

R. A. Schneider, W. Weise

A fireball model with time evolution based on transport calculations is used to examine the dilepton emission rate of an ultra-relativistic heavy-ion collision. We assume a transit…

epsilon'/epsilon and Rare K and B Decays in the MSSM

A. J. Buras, P. Gambino, M. Gorbahn +2

We analyze the CP violating ratio epsilon'/epsilon and rare K and B decays in the MSSM with minimal flavour and CP violation, including NLO QCD corrections and imposing constraints…

Axial U(1) dynamics in eta and eta' photoproduction

Steven D. Bass, Stefan Wetzel, Wolfram Weise

We discuss the sensitivity of eta and eta' photoproduction near threshold to the gluonic OZI breaking parameters in the U_A(1)-extended effective chiral Lagrangian for low-energy Q…

Electroweak effects in radiative B decays

Paolo Gambino, Ulrich Haisch

We compute the two-loop electroweak corrections to the radiative decays of the B meson in the SM. Electroweak effects reduce the Wilson coefficient C_7^eff(mw) by 2.6% for a light…

Scrutinizing LSP Dark Matter at the LHC

Manuel Drees, Yeong Gyun Kim, Mihoko M. Nojiri +3

We show that LHC experiments might well be able to determine all the parameters required for a prediction of the present density of thermal LSP relics from the Big Bang era. If the…

Universal Unitarity Triangle and Physics Beyond the Standard Model

A. J. Buras, P. Gambino, M. Gorbahn +2

We make the simple observation that there exists a universal unitarity triangle for all models, like the SM, the Two Higgs Doublet Models I and II and the MSSM with minimal flavour…

New Constraints on "Cool" Dark Matter

Manuel Drees, David Wright

It has been suggested that a sterile neutrino ν_s which mixes with standard neutrinos can form nonthermal ``cool'' Dark Matter if its mass and mixing angle fall in the ranges 0.1 k…

B. Borasoy, G. Muller

The complete renormalization of the weak Lagrangian to chiral order q^2 in heavy baryon chiral perturbation theory is performed using heat kernel techniques. The results are compar…

QCD Corrections to Neutralino-Nucleon Scattering

Abdelhak Djouadi, Manuel Drees

We calculate the dominant loop corrections from both standard and supersymmetric QCD to the effective coupling of neutralinos to nucleons. The potentially largest corrections come…

We compute CP asymmetries of one-particle inclusive B(s) --> D(s) X decay rates. We find that the weak angle gamma could in principle be extracted from these asymmetries although t…
