Natural Conservation of R Parity in Supersymmetry
Since baryon number B and lepton number L are no longer automatically conserved once the standard model is extended to include supersymmetry, the usually assumed conservation of R parity is an imposed condition. For a more satisfactory realization of supersymmetry, we propose here a new model which conserves R automati...

Heavy meson effective thoery with 1/M_Q correction
We construct an effective Lagrangian of heavy and light mesons with $1/M_Q$ correction. The Lagrangian is constructed model independent way by using only the information of the symmetry of QCD. Reparameterisation invariance at the meson level is taken into account for the consistency of the theory. The partial decay wi...

Heavy Quark S- to P-Wave Transitions in a Consistent Quark Model
In Heavy Quark Effective Theory the calculation of form-factors of higher excited states in a non-relativistic framework suffers severe inconsistencies due to frame dependencies.

The Semileptonic Decay Fraction of B Mesons in the Light of Interfering Amplitudes
Consequences of the interference between spectator amplitudes for the lifetimes and semileptonic decay fractions of B^0 and B^+ mesons are discussed.

Cancellation of power enhancements in non-spectator decays
Exclusive non-spectator decay rates of beauty hadrons contain power enhancements of the form (m_b/m)^2 and m_b/m, where m_b is the b-quark mass and m is a light quark mass. An implicit argument has been recently given according to which these singularities cancel in the totally inclusive decay width. We present in this...

QCD and the Chiral Critical Point
As an extension of $QCD$, consider a theory with ``$2+1$'' flavors, where the current quark masses are held in a fixed ratio as the overall scale of the quark masses is varied. At nonzero temperature and baryon density it is expected that in the chiral limit the chiral phase transition is of first order. Increasing the...

The Exact Critical Bubble Free Energy and the Effectiveness of Effective Potential Approximations
To calculate the temperature at which a first-order cosmological phase transition occurs, one must calculate $F_c(T)$, the free energy of a critical bubble configuration. $F_c(T)$ is often approximated by the classical energy plus an integral over the bubble of the effective potential; one must choose a method for calc...
