Cosmological Constant and Supergravity Soft Terms
In supergravity models, the quantum correction to the vacuum energy can be of order $M_I^4$, if the cutoff is of order the Planck mass $M^2_{P}$ and $Str\ {\cal M}^2\ne 0$. Therefore, the tree level cosmological constant must be nonzero (probably negative). Since the current practice of calculating soft parameters in s...

Foundations and Scope of Chiral Perturbation Theory
The aim of this introductory lecture is to review the arguments, according to which the symmetry properties of the strong interaction reveal themselves at low energies. I first discuss the symmetries of QCD, then sketch the method used to work out their implications and finally take up a few specific issues, where new ...

The Chiral Lagrangian parameters, $\overline{\ell}_1$, $\overline{\ell}_2$, are determined by the $\rho$--resonance
The all--important consequence of Chiral Dynamics for $\pi \pi$ scattering is the Adler zero, which forces $\pi \pi$ amplitudes to grow asymptotically. The continuation of this subthreshold zero into the physical regions requires a $P$--wave resonance, to be identified with the $\rho$. It is a feature of $\pi \pi$ scat...

Searching for Exotic Mesons in e^+e^- Annihilation at Dafne
$DA{\Phi}NE$ should be useful for testing the nature of the vector mesons directly produced in $e^-e^+$ annihilation, as well as the nature of the $C=+$ states produced in the radiative decays of these vector mesons. In the $DA{\Phi}NE$ energy range, these latter states may have spin up to two and any parity. Provided ...

Sources of CP Violation in the Two-Higgs Doublet Model
Assuming CP violation arises solely through the Higgs potential, we develop the most general two-Higgs doublet model. There is no discrete symmetry that distinguishes the two Higgs bosons. It is assumed that an approximate global family symmetry sufficiently suppresses flavor-changing neutral scalar interactions. In ad...

Transverse tau polarization in inclusive $\bar B\to \tau \bar\nu X$ decays
We calculate, in the framework of multi Higgs doublet models, the $CP$ violating transverse tau polarization, $P_\perp$, in inclusive semileptonic $B$ meson decays. We find that $P_\perp$ diverges at ${\cal O}(1/m_b^2)$ of the heavy quark expansion. We discuss the physical reasons for this divergence and show how to re...

The Rise in F_2^p at HERA
We show that the rise in $F_2^p$ at small $x$ and large $Q^2$ seen at HERA is indeed the non-Regge double asymptotic scaling behaviour expected from the perturbative emission of strongly ordered hard gluons. An alternative explanation, in which there is no strong ordering, and a new hard Reggeon is generated, is also t...

Neutrino Masses from Gauge Symmetries
A very simple extension of the standard model to include an Abelian family symmetry is able to describe the hierarchy of quark and lepton masses and their mixing angles together with the unification of gauge couplings.

Soft Jets and Top Mass Measurement at the Tevatron
Extra soft jets in top events in $p \bar p$ collisions may arise not only from gluons radiated off initial state partons or final state $b$ quarks, but may also be radiated from the $t$ quarks themselves.

Calculating F_2^p at small x and large Q^2
We show that the double asymptotic scaling of the HERA structure function data is consistent with pre-HERA data at larger $x$, soft pomeron behaviour at small $x$ and a sensible starting scale $Q_0$. We can thus actually calculate $F_2^p$ at small $x$ and large $Q^2$ by evolving up perturbatively at two loops, without ...
