Leptons masses in an $SU(3)_L\otimes U(1)_N$ Gauge Model
The $SU(3)_c\otimes SU(3)_L\otimes U(1)_N$ model of Pisano and Pleitez extends the Standard Model in a particularly nice way, so that for example the anomalies cancel only when the number of generations is divisible by three. The original version of the model has some problems accounting for the lepton masses. We resol...

Color Confinement, Abelian Gauge and Renormalization Group Flow
Under the assumption that the color charge can be written in a BRST exact form, the color confinement mechanism proposed by Kugo and Ojima (KO) explains the confinement of any colored particles including dynamical quarks and gluons. This mechanism, however, is known to break down in the Abelian gauge which treats the m...

Indirect detection of unstable heavy dark matter
Unstable relics with lifetime longer than the age of the Universe could be the dark matter today. Electrons, photons and neutrinos are a natural outcome of their decay and could be searched for in cosmic rays and in $\gamma$-ray and neutrino detectors. I compare the sensitivities of these three types of searches to the...

Hard Scattering in QCD with Polarized Beams
I show that factorization for hard processes in QCD is also valid when the detected particles are polarized, and that the proof of the theorem determines the operator form for the parton densities. Particular attention is given to the case of transversely polarized incoming hadrons.

LEP1 vs. Future Colliders: Effective Operators And Extended Gauge Group
In an effective Lagrangian approach to physics beyond the Standard Model, it has been argued that imposing $SU(2) \times U(1)$ invariance severely restricts the discovery potential of future colliders. We exhibit a possible way out in an extended gauge group context.

Multiple-Scattering Series For Color Transparency
Color transparency CT depends on the formation of a wavepacket of small spatial extent. It is useful to interpret experimental searches for CT with a multiple scattering scattering series based on wavepacket-nucleon scattering instead of the standard one using nucleon-nucleon scattering. We develop several new techniqu...

We consider a class of simplest Majoron models where neutrino- majoron couplings can be in the range $g \sim 10^{-5}-10^{-3}$ leading to the observability of neutrinoless double beta decay with majoron emission. The majoron is a singlet of the electroweak gauge symmetry, thus avoiding conflict with the LEP data on Z de...
