A Z' Model Which May Be Relevant to the New LEP Events
A multi-Higgs model with an extra neutral gauge boson ($Z'$) is introduced. One scalar Higgs boson ($H_2$) in this model decays dominantly into a photon pair. The $Z'$ decay to $\mu^+\mu^-$ gets a much larger branching ratio than the $Z$ decay to this channel. The $Z Z' H_2$ vertex provides a final state from $Z$ decay...

A Review of the Instability of Hot Electroweak Theory and its Bounds on $m_h$ and $m_t$
[Talk presented at the International Seminar Quarks `92, Zvenigorod, Russia, May 11-17, 1992.] The electroweak vacuum need not be absolutely stable. For certain top and Higgs masses in the Minimal Standard Model, it is instead metastable with a lifetime exceeding the present age of the Universe. The decay of our vacuum...

Detailed Stability Analysis of Electroweak Strings
We give a detailed stability analysis of the Z-string in the standard electroweak model. We identify the mode that determines the stability of the string and numerically map the region of parameter space where the string is stable. For $\sin^2 \theta_W = 0.23$, we find that the strings are unstable for a Higgs mass lar...

Spectral Functions for Heavy-Light Currents and Form Factor Relations in Hqet

Spontaneous Baryogenesis in Supersymmetric Models

Upper Bounds on the Lightest Higgs Boson Mass in General Supersymmetric Standard Models
In a general supersymmetric standard model there is an upper bound $m_h$ on the tree level mass of the $CP=+1$ lightest Higgs boson which depends on the electroweak scale, $\tan \beta$ and the gauge and Yukawa couplings of the theory.

Spin in Perturbative QCD; Coherent Hard Diffraction
I briefly review: (a) some recent developments in the theory of hard scattering in QCD with polarized beams, and (b) coherent hard diffraction (that is, hard scattering in diffractive events, with the Pomeron behaving in an apparently point-like fashion).

2 \to n threshold production at tree level
The threshold behavior of a theory with two coupled scalar fields $\chi$ and $\phi$ is investigated. We compute the amplitude for two on-mass-shell $\chi$-particles to produce an arbitrary number of $\phi$-particles at rest in the tree approximation.

Inverse Hierarchy Approach to Fermion Masses
The first fermion family might play a special role in understanding the physics of flavour. This possibility is suggested by the observation that the up-down splitting within quark families increases with the family number: $ m_u\sim m_d$, $m_c>m_s$, $m_t\gg m_b$. We construct a model that realizes this feature of the ...
