Dynamical zeros in neutrino-electron elastic scattering at leading order
We show the existence of dynamical zeros in the helicity amplitudes for neutrino-electron elastic scattering at lowest order in the standard theory. In particular, the $\lambda=1/2$ non-flip electron helicity amplitude in the electron antineutrino process vanishes for an incident neutrino energy $E_{\nu}=m_{e}/(4sin^{2...

Radiative Corrections to $W$ Pair Production at High Energies
Radiative Corrections to $W$ Pair Production and effects of finite width of the $W$ bosons are studied using the Monte Carlo {\tt WOPPER}. As an example the influence of QED radiative corrections on the reconstruction of the $W$ helicities at LEP 200 and a future 500 GeV $e^+ e^-$ collider is discussed.

Baryogenesis via lepton number violating scalar interactions
We study baryogenesis through lepton number violation in left-right symmetric models. In these models the lepton number and CP violating interactions of the triplet higgs scalars can give rise to lepton number asymmetry through non-equilibrium decays of the $SU(2)_L$ triplet higgs and the right handed neutrinos. This i...

Introduction to Thermal Field Theory
This is intended to be a very basic introduction and short (and of course incomplete) overview of thermal field theory.

Tau Kinematics from Impact Parameters
The momenta of $\tau$ decay products in the reaction $e^+e^-\to\tau^+\tau^-$ do not constrain the $\tau$ direction unambiguously. It is shown how the measurement of tracks of hadrons from semileptonic $\tau$ decays, in particular their relative impact parameters, allows to resolve this ambiguity.

Bounds from Stability and Symmetry Breaking on Parameters in the Two-Higgs-Doublet Potential
The most general $SU(2)\times U(1)_Y$-symmetric quartic potential with two Higgs doublets, subject to an only softly broken discrete symmetry $(\phi_1,\phi_2)\to(-\phi_1,\phi_2)$, is considered. At tree-level, analytic bounds on the parameters are derived that ensure a stable vacuum, breaking $SU(2)\times U(1)_Y$ down ...
