Resilience of the most important properties of stochastic and regular (deterministic) small-world interconnection networks is studied. It is shown that in the broad range of values of the fraction of faulty nodes the networks under consideration possess high fault tolerance, the deterministic networks being slightly better than the stochastic ones.
We propose an approach based on analysis of cost-quality tradeoffs for comparison of efficiency of various algorithms for small-world network construction. A number of both known in the literature and original algorithms for complex small-world networks construction are shortly reviewed and compared. The networks constructed on the basis of these algorithms have basic structure of 1D regular lattice with additional shortcuts providing the small-world properties. It is shown that networks proposed in this work have the best cost-quality ratio in the considered class.
We present a new version of the CompHEP program package, version 4.5. We describe new options and techniques implemented in the version: interfaces to ROOT and HERWIG, parallel calculations, generation of the XML-based header in event files (HepML), full implementation of the Les Houches agreements (LHA I, SUSY LHA, LHA PDF, Les Houches Event format), cascade matching for intermediate scalar resonances, etc.
We present a new version of the CompHEP program (version 4.4). We describe shortly new issues implemented in this version, namely, simplification of quark flavor combinatorics for the evaluation of hadronic processes, Les Houches Accord based CompHEP-PYTHIA interface, processing the color configurations of events, implementation of MSSM, symbolical and numerical batch modes, etc. We discuss how the CompHEP program is used for preparing event generators for various physical processes. We mention a few concrete physics examples for CompHEP based generators prepared for the LHC and Tevatron.
Monte Carlo methods play important part in modern statistical physics. The application of these methods suffer from two main difficulties.The first is caused by the relatively small number of particles that can participate in any numerical calculation. This means that scales larger than or comparable to the one that can be simulated are not taken into account. The second difficulty is the locality of the conventional Monte Carlo algorithms which leads to very (sometimes unreasonably) long equilibration times. These obstacles can be eliminated in the framework of the multilevel Monte Carlo method described here. The basic approach is to describe the system at increasingly coarser levels defined on increasingly large domains, and transfer information back and forth between the levels in order to obtain a selfconsistent result. The method is illustrated for a test case of one-dimensional fluids.
This Report documents the results obtained by the Working Group on Quantum ChromoDynamics and the Standard Model for the Workshop ``Physics at TeV Colliders'', Les Houches, France, 21 May - 1 June 2001. The account of uncertainties in Parton Distribution Functions is reviewed. Progresses in the description of multiparton final states at Next-to-Leading Order and the extension of calculations for precision QCD observables beyond this order are summarized. Various issues concerning the relevance of resummation for observables at TeV colliders is examined. Improvements to algorithms of jet reconstruction are discussed and predictions for diphoton and photon pi-zero production at the LHC are made for kinematic variables of interest regarding searches for a Higgs boson decaying into two photons. Finally, several improvements implemented in Monte-Carlo event generators are documented.
Generic Fortran common blocks are presented for use by High Energy Physics event generators for the transfer of event configurations from parton level generators to showering and hadronization event generators.

We study top-quark decays in models with light sgoldstinos. The off-diagonal entries in the squark mass matrices can lead to FCNC top two-body decays into sgoldstinos and u(c) quarks. We compute the rates for these decays and discuss the corresponding signatures that could manifest the presence of sgoldstinos in top decays at LHC. We expect that a supersymmetry breaking scale $\sqrt{F}$ up to a scale of order 10 TeV could be probed through this process, for a maximal squark mixing with the third generation. Justified by our preliminary analysis, a thorough study of the corresponding signal versus background and systematics in the LHC environment would be most welcome, in order to accurately assess the potential of this promising process in determining $\sqrt{F}$.
This report summarises the results of the four-fermion working group of the LEP2-MC workshop, held at CERN from 1999 to 2000. Recent developments in the calculation of four-fermion processes in electron-positron collisions at LEP-2 centre-of-mass energies are presented, concentrating on predictions for four main reactions: W-pair production, visible photons in four-fermion events, single-W production and Z-pair production. Based on a comparison of results derived within different approaches, theoretical uncertainties on these predictions are established.
The results obtained by the Working Group on Supersymmetry at the 1999 Les Houches Workshop on Collider Physics are summarized. Separate chapters treat "general" supersymmetry, R-parity violation, gauge mediated supersymmetry breaking, and anomaly mediated supersymmetry breaking.
The Les Houches Workshop on Physics at TeV Colliders took place from June 8-18, 1999. One of the three working groups at Les Houches concentrated on QCD issues, both at the Tevatron Collider and at the LHC. Besides the interest in QCD in its own right, QCD dynamics plays an important role in the production mechanisms for any new physics process that might be observed at either collider, as well as any processes that may form backgrounds to the new physics. This writeup serves both as a pedagogical overview of QCD as well as an update on the current status of the field.

CompHEP is a package for automatic calculations of elementary particle decay and collision properties in the lowest order of perturbation theory (the tree approximation). The main idea prescribed into the CompHEP is to make available passing on from the Lagrangian to the final distributions effectively with a high level of automation.
Assuming an integrated luminosity of 500 fb$^{-1}$ and a center-of-mass energy of 350 GeV, we examine the prospects for measuring branching fractions of a Standard Model-like Higgs boson with a mass of 160 GeV at the future linear \ee collider TESLA when the Higgs is produced via the Higgsstrahlung mechanism, \ee \pfr HZ. We study in detail the precisions achievable for the branching fractions of the Higgs into WW$^*$, ZZ$^*$ and \bb. However, the measurement of BF(H \pfr \gaga) remains a great challence. Combined with the expected error for the inclusive Higgsstrahlung production rate the uncertainty for the total width of the Higgs is estimated.
We discuss the SM Higgs discovery potential of LHC in the reaction $pp\to H+ jet\toγγ+jet$ when the jet is observed at sufficiently high $E_t$ to be reliably identified. We conclude that this channel gives promising discovery possibilities for the Higgs boson mass range 100-140 GeV, during LHC operation at a low luminosity. With 30 fb$^{-1}$ of accumulated data and for $M_H=120$ GeV about 100 signal events could be observed with the number of background events larger by a factor of 2 only, showing a signal significance $S/\sqrt{B}\sim 7$. We use the difference of distributions in the partonic subprocess energy $\sqrt{\hat s}$ for the signal and background for a better separation of the signal.
We present the results of calculations for the process gamma gamma -> W + 2 fermions at a future Photon Linear Collider (PLC). The calculations include at the same time the next-to-leading order Higgs signal and the complete tree level gauge boson background. We present numerical results in the intermediate mass Higgs region 140 GeV < M_H < 2M_W. We propose strategies for the determination of Higgs properties using the leptonic and hadronic final states for both polarized and unpolarized photon beams.
