The Production of Neutral Bilepton Bosons in Proton-Proton Collisions

We establish some signatures of the extra bilepton boson ${X^0}$ predicted in the ${SU (3)_C \times SU (3)_L \times U (1)_X}$ model with right-handed neutrinos. We analyze the process $p + p \longrightarrow X^0 +X^{0*} + {\hbox {anything}}$, for center of mass energy regime of the Large Hadron Collider. The main contributions for the neutral bilepton production in $q \bar q$ process come from the $s-$channel ($Z$ and $Z^\prime$ exchanges), when the initial quarks have charge 2/3, and from an additional $t-$channel (heavy quark exchange) when they have -1/3 of the positron electric charge. We calculate some distributions of the final bileptons and from these results we conclude that LHC can show a clear signature for the existence of the $X^0$ predicted in the 3-3-1 model.

Searching for doubly charged Higgs bosons at the LHC in a 3-3-1 Model

Using a peculiar version of the SU(3)L x U(1)N electroweak model, we investigate the production of doubly charged Higgs boson at the Large Hadron Collider. Our results include branching ratio calculations for the doubly charged Higgs and for one of the neutral scalar bosons of the model.

Pion-delta sigma-term

We use a configuration space chiral model in order to evaluate nucleon and delta sigma-terms. Analytic expressions are consistent with chiral counting rules and give rise to expected non-analytic terms in the chiral limit. We obtain the results $σ_N=46$ MeV and $σ_Δ=32$ MeV, which are very close to values extracted from experiment and produced by other groups.

Unitarized pion-nucleon scattering amplitude from inverse amplitude method

In a recent work on low energy pion-nucleon scattering, instead of using chiral perturbation theory (ChPT) amplitude, we started from a pion-nucleon {\it soft-pion} result and used elastic unitarity directly as a dynamical constraint to construct first-order unitarity corrected amplitudes. The resulting amplitudes are crossing symmetric but, as the ChPT ones, satisfy only approximate unitarity relation. In the present work, we reconsider our approach and we apply the inverse amplitude method (IAM) in order to access the energy resonance region. We present the resulting S- and P-wave phase shifts that are shown to be in qualitative agreement with experimental data.

Two-Loop Chiral Perturbation Theory and the Pion-Pion Phase Shifts

We want to test the predictive power of Chiral Perturbation Theory (ChPT). In this work, we use the ChPT pion-pion scattering amplitude, including two loop contributions, and we obtain S- and P-wave low-energy phase shifts. We show that, by varying just one free parameter, the resulting S- and P-wave phase shifts are in reasonable agreement with the experimental data.
