Transverse structure function in the factorisation method

Deep Inelastic scattering experiments using transversely polarised targets yield information on the structure function $g_2$. By means of a free-field analysis, we study the operator structure of $g_2$ and demonstrate the need for retaining the twist three mass terms in order to maintain current-conservation. We show that the structure function $g_T=g_1+g_2$ has a much simpler operator structure as compared to $g_2$, in spite of the fact that, like $g_2$, $g_T$ has a twist-three component. We demonstrate factorisation of the hadronic tensor into hard and soft parts for the case of $g_T$. We show that the first moment of the gluonic contribution to $g_T$ vanishes, and discuss possible physical applications.

Gamma^*, Z^* production in polarised p-p scattering as a probe of the proton spin structure

We present the results of a detailed study of the large transverse momentum Drell-Yan process, pp --> (Gamma^*, Z^*)X --> l^+l^- X at collider energies, with either one or both protons polarised, allowing the study of single- and double-spin asymmetries respectively. We show how these asymmetries obtained from angular distributions of the leptons in the Gamma^* (or Z^*) rest-frame, can be used to get information on the polarised parton distributions. Numerical results for the asymmetries and the cross-sections are presented, and the sensitivity of the asymmetries to the initial parton distributions indicates that these can be used as effective probes of the spin structure of the proton.

Mass Limits of Invisibly Decaying Higgs Particles from the LEP Data

In the Majoron models the $SU(2)$ doublet Higgs can decay invisibly into a Majoron pair via its mixing with a singlet. An analysis of the LEP data shows the invisible decay mode to be more visible than the SM decay. For these models, the dominantly doublet Higgs $H$ is shown to have a mass limit within $\pm 6$ GeV of the SM limit irrespective of the model parameters. But the dominantly singlet one $S$ can be arbitrarily light for sufficiently small mixing angle.
