Probing the Weak Boson Sector in $\gamma e\rightarrow Ze$
We study possible deviations from the standard model in the reaction $\gamma e\rightarrow Ze$ at a 500 GeV $e^+e^-$ collider. As a photon source we use a laser backscattered photon beam. We investigate the most general $\gamma Z\gamma$ and $\gamma ZZ$ vertices including operators up to energy-dimension-six which are Lo...

Strong Corrections to Inclusive B to X tau nu Decays
We calculate the $\alpha_s$ corrections to the form factors which parameterize the hadronic tensor relevant for inclusive semileptonic $B \rightarrow X \tau\bar\nu_{\tau}$ and $\Lambda_b \rightarrow X \tau\bar\nu_{\tau}$ decays. We apply our results to the double differential decay rates for the decays of $B$ mesons an...

New fermions and a vector-like third generation in $SU(3)_c\otimes SU(3)_L\otimes U(1)_N$ models
We study two 3-3-1 models with i) five (four) charge 2/3 ($-1/3$) quarks and, ii) four (five) charge 2/3 ($-1/3$) quarks and a vector-like third generation. Possibilities beyond these models are also briefly considered.

A Model Independent Analysis of Solar Neutrino Data

In the first case no assumptions on the values of the total fluxes of neutrinos from all reactions have been made. In the second case we c...

Supersymmetric Unification
The measured value of the weak mixing angle is, at present, the only precise experimental indication for physics beyond the Standard Model. It points in the direction of Unified Theories with Supersymmetric particles at accessible energies. We recall the ideas that led to the construction of these theories in 1981.

This is the written version of four lectures given at the 1994 TASI. My aim is to explain the essentials of lattice calculations, give an update on (though not a review of) the present status of calculations of phenomenologically interesting quantities, and to provide an understanding of the various sources of uncertai...

Constraining Spectral Functions at Finite Temperature and Chemical Potential with Exact Sum Rules in Asymptotically Free Theories
Within the framework of the operator product expansion (OPE) and the renormalization group equation (RGE), we show that the temperature and chemical potential dependence of the zeroth moment of a spectral function (SF) is completely determined by the one-loop structure in an asymptotically free theory, and in particula...

Production of Heavy Selectrons in Electron-Photon Collisions
We study the production and decay of heavy selectrons in the electron-photon mode of a linear collider of the next generation. The standard model backgrounds can be substantially reduced by appropriate kinematical cuts. As a consequence, selectrons far heavier than the kinematical threshold for pair production are show...

Light-Front Dynamics and Light-Front QCD
In this article we review the basic formulation of light-front field theory and light-front phenomena in strong interaction. We also explore various approaches to the understanding of these phenomena and the associated problems of hadronic bound states based on QCD (quantum chromodynamics) on the light-front.
