Z' effects and anomalous gauge couplings at LC with polarization
We show that the availability of longitudinally polarized electron beams at a 500 GeV Linear Collider would allow, from an analysis of the reaction e^+e^-\to W^+W^-, to set stringent bounds on the couplings of a Z' of the most general type. In addition, to some extent, it would be possible to disentangle observable eff...

The Running Gauge Coupling in the Exact Renormalization Group Approach
We discuss the perturbative running Yang-Mills coupling constant in the Wilsonian exact renormalization group approach, and compare it to the running coupling in the more conventional MS-bar scheme. The exact renormalization group approach corresponds to a particular renormalization scheme, and we relate explicitly the...

Direct Top Quark Production at Hadron Colliders as a Probe of New Physics
We examine the effect of an anomalous flavor changing chromomagnetic moment which allows direct top quark production (two partons combining into an unaccompanied single top quark in the s-channel) at hadron colliders. We consider both t-c-g and t-u-g couplings. We find that the anomalous charm quark coupling parameter ...

Power corrections and Landau singularity
In the dispersive approach of Dokshitzer, Marchesini and Webber, standard power-behaved contributions of infrared origin are described with the notion of an infrared regular QCD coupling. I argue that their framework suggests the existence of non-standard contributions, arising from short distances (hence unrelated to ...

Hadronic Couplings Via QCD Sum Rules Using Three-Point Functions: Vacuum Susceptibilities
We develop a three-point formalism to treat vacuum susceptibilities used for the coupling of currents to hadrons within the method of QCD Sum Rules. By introducing nonlocal condensates, with the space-time structure taken from fits to experimental parton distrbutions, we show that one can treat hadronic coupling at zer...

Non-Leptonic Decays of B Mesons and Strong Coupling Constants
Non-leptonic decays of B mesons into two mesons or meson resonances are studied on the basis of two versions of simple pole-dominance models involving scalar, vector, pseudoscalar and axial-vector poles.

Recent Progress in Weakly-Coupled Heterotic String Phenomenology
Some recent developments in the weakly-coupled heterotic string phenomenology are reviewed.

CP-odd Anomalous W-boson Couplings from Supersymmety
The supersymmetric standard model contains a new CP-violating phase in the mass matrices for charginos and neutralinos, which could induce CP-odd anomalous couplings for the WWZ and WW\gamma vertices at the one-loop level. We study these couplings, paying attention to the model-parameter and q^2 dependencies. It is sho...

Minimal SU(5) Resuscitated by Higgs Coupling Fixed Points
The issue of gauge unification in the (non-supersymmetric) Standard Model is reinvestigated. It is found that with just an additional fourth generation of quarks and leptons, $SU(3) \otimes SU(2) \otimes U(1)$ gauge couplings converge to a common point $\sim 2.65 \times 10^{15}$ GeV ($\tau_p \sim 10^{34 \pm 1}$ years) ...

Quark flavour conserving violations of the lepton number
We study supersymmetric models of lepton and baryon number violation based on an abelian family gauge group. Due to possible lepton-Higgs mixing, the lepton violating couplings are related to the Yukawa couplings and may be generated by them even if they were absent in the original theory. Such terms may be dominant an...

Comment on "Suppression of piNN* Coupling and Chiral Symmetry"
Jido, Oka and Hosaka have shown that the p-slash gamma_5 piece of the pion-to-vacuum correlator of two baryon interpolating fields vanishes in the soft-pion limit, as a consequence of chiral transformation properties of those fields. This is a statement about the particular combination of pion-baryon couplings and subt...

Constraints on R parity and B violating couplings in gauge-mediated supersymmetry breaking models
We consider the proton decay involving a light gravitino or axino in gauge-mediated supersymmetry breaking models to derive constraints on the $R$ parity and baryon number violating Yukawa couplings.

Confinement from a massive scalar in QCD
A model is introduced with a massive scalar coupling to the Yang--Mills term in four--dimensional gauge theory.

On the enhancement of the QCD running coupling

Running Coupling Effects in BFKL Evolution
We resum the recently calculated second order kernel of the BFKL equation. That kernel can be viewed as the sum of a conformally invariant part and a running coupling part. The conformally invariant part leads to a corrected BFKL intercept as found earlier. The running coupling part of the kernel leads to a non-Regge t...

Supergravity Resolution of the Unification to Planck Scale Hierarchy

Limits on a Light Leptophobic Gauge Boson
We consider the phenomenology of a naturally leptophobic $Z$-prime boson in the 1 to 10 GeV mass range. The $Z$-prime's couplings to leptons arise only via a radiatively-generated kinetic mixing with the $Z$ and photon, and hence are suppressed. We map out the allowed regions of the mass-coupling plane and show that su...

Top flavour-changing neutral coupling signals at a linear collider
We present an analysis of the sensitivity of the TESLA e+ e- collider to top flavour-changing neutral couplings to the Z boson and photon. We consider the cases without beam polarization, with only e- polarization and with e- and e+ polarization, showing that the use of the latter substantially enhances the sensitivity...

Quantum corrections for the MSSM Higgs couplings to SM fermions
Higgs Yukawa couplings to down-type fermions receive, in the MSSM, supersymmetric quantum corrections that can be of order 1 for large values of tan\beta, provided \mu \sim MSUSY. Therefore, a sensitive prediction for observables driven by any of these couplings can only be obtained after an all-order resummation of th...

Equilibration in an Interacting Field Theory
We use a combination of perturbation theory and numerical techniques to study the equilibration of two interacting fields which are initially at thermal equilibrium at different temperatures. Using standard rules of quantum field theory, we examine the master equations that describe the time evolution of the distributi...

The coupling constant g$_{ρσγ}$ as derived from QCD sum rules
We employ QCD sum rules to calculate the coupling constant g$_{\rho\sigma\gamma}$ by studying the three point ${\rho\sigma\gamma}$-correlation function. Our results is consistent with the value of this coupling constant obtained using vector meson dominance of the electromagnetic current and the experimental $\rho^0$-p...

Nonperturbative Contributions in an Analytic Running Coupling of QCD
In the framework of analytic approach to QCD the nonperturbative contributions in running coupling of strong interaction up to 4-loop order are obtained in an explicit form. For all $Q>\Lambda$ they are shown to be represented in the form of an expansion in inverse powers of Euclidean momentum squared. The expansion co...

Complex flavour couplings in supersymmetry and unexpected CP-violation in the decay B -> phi K
Complex flavour couplings (off-diagonal mass terms) in the squark sector of supersymmetric theories may drastically alter both the rate and the CP-violating asymmetry of certain B-meson decays. We consider the effects of couplings that induce b -> s transitions and lead to final state with strangeness one. We investiga...

Freezing of the QCD coupling constant and solutions of Schwinger-Dyson equations
We compare phenomenological values of the frozen QCD running coupling constant ($\alpha_s$) with two classes of solutions obtained through nonperturbative Schwinger-Dyson equations. We use these same solutions with frozen coupling constants as well as their respective nonperturbative gluon propagators to compute the QC...

A Simple Model for the BFKL-DGLAP Transition in Deep Inelastic Scattering
A simple model is presented, which interpolates between the DGLAP and BFKL regimes in deep inelastic e-p scattering. The model is based on the CCFM and LDC models, and it is simple enough to provide an intuitive picture of the transition region between the two domains. Results are presented for both fixed and running c...

Lepton Flavor Changing Neutral Current Processes at Lepton-Hadron Colliders
We investigate the potentials of high energy lepton-proton colliders to detect a flavor changing $l-l^{\prime}-Z$ or $l-l^{\prime}-\gamma$ couplings from the processes $ep\to\mu(\tau)X$ and $\mu p\to \tau X$. For the $l-l^{\prime}-Z$ coupling we consider string inspired $E_6$ model whereas $l-l^{\prime}-\gamma$ couplin...

Precise predictions for e+e- --> 4f(+gamma) with anomalous couplings
The relevance of radiative corrections to 4f production at LEP2 and future e+e- colliders is emphasized, and their treatment in the event generator RacoonWW is briefly discussed. In particular, the non-universal corrections are compared with the signature of anomalous triple gauge-boson couplings. For 4f+gamma producti...

Experimental tests of curvature couplings of Fermions in General Relativity
Spin 1/2 particles in geodesic trajectories experience no gravitational potential but they still have non-zero couplings to the curvature tensor. The effect of space time curvature on fermions can be parameterized by a vector and a pseudo-vector potential. These apparent CPT violating terms can be measured with satelli...

Fresh inflation with nonminimally coupled inflaton field
I study a fresh inflationary model with a scalar field nonminimally coupled to gravity. An example is examined. I find that, as larger is the value of $p$ (the power of the scale factor), smaller (but larger in its absolute value) is the necessary value of the coupling $\xi$ to the inflaton field fluctuations can satis...

On universality of the coupling of neutrinos to Z
We employ an effective Lagrangian approach and use LEP data to place severe bounds on universality violations of the couplings of $\nu_e$, $\nu_\mu$, and $\nu_\tau$ to the $Z$ boson. Our results justify the assumption of universality in these couplings that is usually made, as for example in the analysis of solar neutr...

Re-analysis of the $D^* Dπ$ coupling in the light-cone QCD sum rules
The recent measurement from the CLEO experiment presents the $DD^*\pi$ coupling, $17.9\pm 0.3 \pm 1.9$. This value is much larger than any of QCD sum rule predictions available in literature. We report that, with a relevant treatment of the continuum subtraction as well as with the asymptotic form of the twist-2 pion w...

Testing coupling relations in SUSY-QCD at a Linear Collider
Supersymmetry predicts that gauge couplings are equal to the corresponding gaugino-sfermion-fermion Yukawa couplings. This prediction can be tested for the QCD sector of the MSSM by studying the processes eplus+eminus -> squark+antisquark+gluon and eplus+eminus -> squark+antiquark+gluino at a future linear collider. We...

We compute the axial vector current, form factor, and coupling for quarks in the instanton liquid model with two light flavors. Non-local current corrections are derived, as required by the effective 't Hooft interaction. We obtain a pion-mediated axial form factor and an axial coupling which, when simply applied in th...

In this note we present an evaluation of the couplings JD(*)D(*) and JD(*)D(*)pi in the Constituent Quark Model. These couplings are a crucial ingredient in the calculation of cross sections for the processes pi J/psi -> D(*)Dbar(*), an important background for the J/psi suppression signal in quark-gluon plasma.
