CP Phases in Correlated Production and Decay of Neutralinos in the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model

We investigate the associated production of neutralinos $e^+e^-\to\tildeχ^0_1\tildeχ^0_2$ accompanied by the neutralino leptonic decay $\tildeχ^0_2\to\tildeχ^0_1 \ell^+\ell^-$, taking into account initial beam polarization and production-decay spin correlations in the minimal supersymmetric standard model with general CP phases but without generational mixing in the slepton sector. The stringent constraints from the electron EDM on the CP phases are also included in the discussion. Initial beam polarizations lead to three CP--even distributions and one CP--odd distribution, which can be studied independently of the details of the neutralino decays. We find that the production cross section and the branching fractions of the leptonic neutralino decays are very sensitive to the CP phases. In addition, the production--decay spin correlations lead to several CP--even observables such as lepton invariant mass distribution, and lepton angular distribution, and one interesting T--odd (CP--odd) triple product of the initial electron momentum and two final lepton momenta, the size of which might be large enough to be measured at the high--luminosity future electron--positron collider or can play a complementary role in constraining the CP phases with the EDM constraints.

CP Phases in Supersymmetric Tri-lepton Signals at the Tevatron

We have analyzed the supersymmetric tri-lepton signals for sparticle searches at the Tevatron in the minimal supersymmetric standard model with general CP phases without generational mixing. The CP phases may affect very strongly the chargino and neutralino mass spectrums and $σ(p\bar{p}\to\tildeχ^-_1\tildeχ^0_2)$ as well as ${\cal B}(\tildeχ^-_1\to\tildeχ^0_1\ell^-ν)$ and ${\cal B}(\tildeχ^0_2\to\tildeχ^0_1\ell^+\ell^-)$. Even under the stringent constraints from the electron electric dipole moment the CP phases can lead to a minimum of the tri-lepton event rate for their non-trivial values.

The non-perturbative corrections to the $\bar B \to X_sγ$ photon spectrum in a parton-like model

We derive a new parton-like formula, which establishes a simple connection between the electroweak decay rate $Γ(\bar B \to X_sγ$) and the rate of a free b-quark decay. The main features of our approach are the treatment of the b-quark as an on-mass-shell particle and the inclusion of the effects arising from the b-quark transverse motion in the $\bar B$-meson. Using various b-quark light-front (LF) distribution functions, both phenomenological one and the ones derived from current constituent quark models, and neglecting perturbative corrections we compute the photon energy spectra and the moments of the shape function. It is shown that the parton-like approach is fully consistent with the Heavy Quark Effective Theory (HQET) provided the b-quark constituent mass is redefined in the way similar to that used in HQET to define the pole mass of the b quark. In this way the correction to first order in $1/m_b$ can be eliminated from the total width in agreement with the general statement of HQET. We have also found that the photon energy spectra calculated in the LF approach agree well with the ones obtained in the ACM model, provided the same distribution function is used as input in both cases. In spite of the simplicity of the model our results show a fair good agreement both with the HQET predictions and available experimental data.

W boson production at upgraded HERA

Event characteristics of $W$ boson production at HERA collider are untrivial and sensitive to the production mechanisms. We analyse the distributions of the four particle final state defined by the complete set of $W$ producing perturbative leading order diagrams in the Standard Model and its extension with the anomalous effective lagrangian in the gauge sector.

Polarization effects on W boson pair productions with the extra neutral gauge boson at the e^+ e^- Linear Collider

We perform the comprehensive analysis of the polarization effects on the e^+e^- -> W^+W^- process in the presence of the extra neutral gauge boson at the LC energies. Consideration of the polarizations of the produced W bosons and the beam polarizations provides substantial enhancements of the sensitivity to the Z-Z' mixing angles in various models and the asymmetry variables also give the strict constraints on the mixing angles. We find that the χ-model and the left-right model get the strict constraint from σ_{LL}^{unpol} while the ψ-model and the η-model from the beam polarization asymmetry.

Large Extra Dimension Effects on the Spin Configuration of the Top Quark Pair at e^+ e^- Colliders

Large extra dimension effects on the spin configuration of the top quark pair at the $e^+ e^-\to t\bar{t}$ process are studied. It is shown that the TeV scale quantum gravity effects cause significant deviations from the Standard Model predictions for the spin configuration in the off-diagonal basis: they lead to substantial cross sections of the like-spin states of the top quark pair, which vanish in the SM; they weaken the pure dominance of the processes, the Up-Down (Down-Up) spin states for the left-handed (right-handed) beam. In addition it is shown that the angular cut $-0.5<\cosθ<0$ is very effective to determine the sign of the quantum gravity corrections.

Single-photon events in e^+ e^- collisions

We provide a detailed investigation of single-photon production processes in $e^+e^-$ collisions with missing momenta carried by neutrinos or neutralinos. The transition amplitudes for both processes can be organized into a generic simplified, factorized form; each neutral V$\pm$A vector current of missing energy carriers is factorized out and all the characteristics of the reaction is solely included in the electron vector current. Firstly, we apply the generic form to give a unified description of a single-photon production with a Dirac-type or Majorana-type neutrino-pair and to confirm their identical characteristics as suggested by the so-called Practical Dirac-Majorana Confusion Theorem. Secondly, we show that the generic amplitude form is maintained with the anomalous P- and C-invariant WW$γ$ couplings in the neutrino-associated process and it enables us to easily understand large contributions of the anomalous WW$γ$ couplings at higher energies and, in particular, at the points away from the Z-resonance peak. Finally, the neutralino-associated process, which receives modifications in both the left-handed and right-handed electron currents due to the exchanges of the left-handed and right-handed selectrons, can be differentiated from the neutrino-associated ones through the left-right asymmetries and/or the circular polarization of the outgoing photon.

Determining SUSY Parameters in Chargino Pair-Production in $e^+e^-$ Collisions

In most supersymmetric theories, charginos $\tildeχ^\pm_{1,2}$, mixtures of charged color-neutral gauginos and higgsinos, belong to the class of the lightest supersymmetric particles. They are easy to observe at $e^+e^-$ colliders. By measuring the total cross sections and the left-right asymmetries with polarized electron beams in $e^+e^-\to\tildeχ_i^-\tildeχ_j^+ [i,j=1,2]$, the chargino masses and the gaugino-higgsino mixing angles can be determined. From these observables the fundamental SUSY parameters can be derived: the SU(2) gaugino mass $M_2$, the modulus $|μ|$ and $\cos Φ_μ$ of the higgsino mass parameter, and $\tanβ= v_2/v_1$, the ratio of the vacuum expectation values of the two neutral Higgs doublet fields. The solutions are unique; the CP-violating phase $Φ_μ$ can be determined uniquely by analyzing effects due to the normal polarization of the charginos.

MeV Tau Neutrino in Gauge Mediated Supersymmetry Breaking Model

A supersymmetric model which naturally accommodates MeV tau neutrino within the framework of gauge mediated supersymmetry breaking is described. The lepton number violation is originally introduced in the messenger sector of the theory. A large slepton-Higgs mixing mass and a small lepton-higgsino mixing mass are generated at one-loop. Scalar tau neutrino has non-vanishing vacuum expectation value. These result in a non-zero ν_τ mass which is in the range of (1-10) MeV.

Excited Heavy Baryon Spectrum in Large N_c Heavy Quark Effective Theory

L=1 excited heavy baryon masses are analyzed by heavy quark and large N_c expansions. In heavy quark limit, mass is parameterized by Λ-bar and it is expanded further by spin-flavor breaking operators to the zeroth order of 1/N_c. Expanding coefficients will be fixed by more data on the excited baryons in the near future.

Phenomenological Impacts of the CP-odd Rephase-Invariant Phase of the Chargino Mass Matrix in the Production of Light Chargino-Pair in $e^+e^-$ Collisions

One CP--odd rephase-invariant phase appears in the chargino mass matrix in the minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model. We investigate in detail the phenomenological impacts of the CP-odd complex phase in the production of light charginos in $e^+e^-$ annihilation. The values of the chargino masses and the mixing angles, determining the size of the wino and higgsino components in the chargino wave functions, are so sensitive to the CP-odd phase that the constraints on the supersymmetric parameters based on the conventional assumptions for the parameters are recommended to be re-evaluated including the CP-odd phase.

Polarized J/psi production at CLEO

Polarizations of the prompt $J/ψ$'s produced in the $e^+e^-$ annihilation at CLEO energy ($\sqrt{s} = 10.58$ GeV) are considered in the framework of NRQCD factorization formalism. We find that the $J/ψ$ polarization has strong dependence on the production mechanism. At CLEO energy, the most dominant $J/ψ$ production mechanism in the most phase space is the color-singlet mechanism, $e^+e^- \to J/ψ+gg$, for which $J/ψ$'s are highly longitudinally polarized. On the other hand, the dominant $J/ψ$ production mechanism at the upper end point of $J/ψ$ energy distribution is the color-octet process, $e^+e^- \to (c\bar{c})^{(8)} +g$, for which $J/ψ$'s are almost unpolarized. Thus, the measurement of the polarization of the end point $J/ψ$'s can give another test of color-octet mechanism, and constraint on the NRQCD matrix elements.

Analytic reduction of transition amplitudes in radiative electroweak processes

It is shown that the transition amplitudes of radiative electroweak processes like $e^-e^+ \to ν_e \olν_e \ga$, $\ga e^- \to ν_e \olν_e e^-$, and $ν_e e^- \to ν_e e^- \ga$ can be reduced and factorized into simpler forms in the Standard Model. This method can be used in reducing many calculations of complicated radiative electroweak processes in general.

Analysis of Lambda_b to Lambda_c Weak Decays in Heavy Quark Effective Theory

The Lambda_b to Lambda_c semileptonic decay is analyzed in the framework of heavy quark effective theory to the order of 1/m_c and 1/m_b. The QCD sum rule and large N_c predictions to the decay form factors are applied. It argues that the subleading baryonic Isgur-Wise function in the large N_c limit vanishes. The decay rates, distributions and asymmetry parameters are calculated numerically. Some of the nonleptonic decay modes are discussed in the end.

Four-quark Operators Relevant to B Meson Lifetimes from QCD Sum Rules

At the order of 1/m_b^3, the B meson lifetimes are controlled by the hadronic matrix elements of some four-quark operators. The nonfactorizable magnitudes of these four-quark operator matrix elements are analyzed by QCD sum rules in the framework of heavy quark effective theory. The vacuum saturation for color-singlet four-quark operators is justified at hadronic scale, and the nonfactorizable effect is at a few percent level. However for color-octet four-quark operators, the vacuum saturation is violated sizably that the nonfactorizable effect cannot be neglected for the B meson lifetimes. The implication to the extraction of some of the parameters from B decays is discussed. The B meson lifetime ratio is predicted as τ(B^-)/τ(B^0)=1.09\pm 0.02. However, the experimental result of the lifetime ratio τ(Λ_b)/τ(B^0) still cannot be explained.

Color-octet mechanism and J/psi polarization at LEP

Polarized heavy quarkonium productions in $Z^0$ decays are considered. We find that polarizations of the produced quarkonia are independent of that of the parent Z^0 provided that one considers the energy distribution or the total production rate. Produced J/psi's via the color-octet and the color- singlet mechanisms are expected to be 19% and 29% longitudinally polarized, respectively. The energy dependence of eta_{1,8}(x)=\frac{dGamma_{1,8}^L}{dx} /\frac{dGamma_{1,8}}{d x} is very sensitive to the production mechanism, and therefore the measurement of η(x)_exp will be an independent probe of the color-octet mechanism.

Color-octet mechanism in the inclusive D-wave charmonium productions in B decays

The inclusive D-wave charmonium production rates in B decays are considered in the Bodwin-Braaten-Lepage (BBL) approach. We find that the color-octet subprocesses B->cc_(^3S_1^(8) or ^3P_J^(8))+s,d, followed by the transition cc_(^3S_1^(8) or ^3P_J^(8)) -> ^3D_J, strongly dominate over any other subprocess, due to the large Wilson coefficient for the ΔB = 1 effective lagrangian. Assuming that the numerical values of the matrix elements <0|O^{^3D_J}(^3S_1^(8))|0> and <0|O^{^3D_J}(^3P_J^(8))|0> are the same order of magnitudes with the <0| O^{ψ^'}(^3S_1^(8))|0>, we find that the ^{1,3}D_{2} can be observed at future B-factories.
