The Strange Quark Mass from QCD Sum Rules
The strange quark mass is calculated from QCD sum rules for the divergence of the vector as well as axial-vector current in the next-next-to-leading logarithmic approximation. The determination for the divergence of the axial-vector current is found to be unreliable due to large uncertainties in the hadronic parametris...

Vector boson pair production in e-e- collisions with polarized beams
The $W$-boson pair production in $e^-e^-$ collisions with polarized beams is investigated. The helicity amplitudes are derived for general couplings and the conditions for a good high-energy behaviour of the cross-section are given. The results are applied to the heavy vector boson production in the context of the left...

Is baryon number violated when electroweak strings intercommute?
We reexamine the self-helicity and the intercommutation of electroweak strings. A plausible argument for baryon number conservation when electroweak strings intercommute is presented. The connection between a segment of electroweak strings and a sphaleron is also discussed.

$Z$ POLARIZATION IN $pp\rightarrow ZZ\rightarrow \ell^+\ell^-\nu \bar{\nu}$ AT THE LHC
We evaluate the feasibility of measuring the $Z$ polarization from a heavy Higgs signal in the decay channel $H\rightarrow ZZ \rightarrow \ell^+ \ell^-\nu\bar{\nu}$. Including gluon fusion production of the Higgs, continuum production of $Z$ pairs and the QCD background of single $Z$ production with a missing jet, we f...

Isolating the Penguin-diagram Contribution to $CP$ Violation in $B^{0}_{d}$ vs $\bar{B}^{0}_{d}\rightarrow \pi^{+}\pi^{-}$
A reliable prediction for $CP$ violation in $B^{0}_{d}$ vs $\bar{B}^{0}_{d}\rightarrow \pi^{+}\pi^{-}$ suffers from the penguin-diagram induced uncertainty.

Higgs signals modified by singlet scalars
The influence of massless scalar singlets on Higgs signals is discussed. It is shown, that in the case of strong interactions between the Higgs boson and the singlet fields, signals could be suppressed in such a way, that detection of the Higgs boson becomes impossible.

Algebraic Reduction of Feynman Diagrams to Scalar Integrals: a Mathematica implementation of LERG-I
A Mathematica implementation of the program LERG-I is presented that performs the reduction of tensor integrals, encountered in one-loop Feynman diagram calculations, to scalar integrals. The program was originally coded in REDUCE and in that incarnation was applied to a number of problems of physical interest.

A New Technique for Detecting Supersymmetric Dark Matter
We estimate the event rate for excitation of atomic transition by photino-like dark matter. For excitations of several eV, this event rate can exceed naive cross-section by many orders of magnitude. Although the event rate for these atomic excitation is smaller than that of nuclear recoil off of non-zero spin nuclei, t...

Instanton-induced production of jets with large transverse momentum in QCD
We consider the instanton-induced cross section for production of a gluon jet with large transverse momentum in QCD and point out that Mueller's corrections corresponding to the rescattering of hard quanta are likely to remove contributions of large instantons, making this cross section well defined. Some speculations ...

Fusing Gauge Theory Tree Amplitudes Into Loop Amplitudes

Beta decay of hyperons in a relativistic quark model
A relativistic constituent quark model is used to calculate the semileptonic beta decay of nucleons and hyperons. The parameters of the model, namely, the constituent quark mass and the confinement scale, are fixed by a previous calculation of the magnetic moments of the baryon octet within the same model.
