In the minimal supersymmetric standard model (MSSM), we study the light Higgs boson radiation off a light-chargino pair in the process
at linear colliders with
GeV. We analyze cross sections in the regions of the MSSM parameter space where the process
cannot proceed via on-shell production and subsequent decay of either heavier charginos or the pseudoscalar Higgs boson A. Cross sections up to a few fb are allowed, according to present experimental limits on the Higgs boson, chargino and sneutrino masses. We also show how a measurement of the
production rate could provide a determination of the Higgs boson couplings to charginos.Received: 24 June 2004, Revised: 13 May 2005, Published online: 19 July 2005 相似文献

We study the effects of heavy Higgs bosons on the
production process at photon linear colliders. The interference patterns between the resonant Higgs production amplitudes and the continuum QED amplitudes are examined. The patterns tell us not only the CP nature of the Higgs bosons but also the phase of the
-Higgs vertex which gives new information about the Higgs couplings to new charged particles. We point out that it is necessary to use circularly polarized photon beams to produce efficiently heavy Higgs bosons whose masses exceed the electron beam energy, and show that the above interference patterns of the production amplitudes can be studied by observing t and
decay angular distributions. Analytic expressions for the helicity amplitudes for the sequential process
are presented in terms of the generic
production amplitudes.Received: 2 June 2003, Published online: 24 October 2003 相似文献

We discuss the time-dependent CP asymmetry of the decay
in an extension of the standard model with both a two Higgs doublet and additional fourth-generation quarks. We show that, although the standard model with a two Higgs doublet and the standard model with fourth-generation quarks alone are not likely to largely change the effective
from the decay
, the model with both an additional Higgs doublet and fourth-generation quarks can easily account for the possible large negative value of
without conflicting with other experimental constraints. In this model, additional large CP violating effects may arise from the flavor-changing Yukawa interactions between neutral Higgs bosons and the heavy fourth-generation down type quark, which can modify the QCD penguin contributions. With the constraints obtained from
processes such as
and
, this model can lead to an effective
as large as - 0.4 in the CP asymmetry of

We investigate the potential effects of the scalar flavor changing neutral currents that are generated e.g. in supersymmetry with
in the
transitions. Using the experimental upper limit on
we place stringent model independent constraints on the impact these currents may have on the rates
and
. We find that in the first case, contrary to the claim made recently in the literature, the maximal potential effects are always smaller than the uncertainty of the standard model NNLO prediction, that is of order 5-15%. In the second case, the effects can be large, but the experimental errors combined with the unsettled problems associated with the relevant form factors do not allow for any firm conclusion about the detectability of a new physics signal in this process. In supersymmetry the effects of the scalar flavor changing neutral currents are further constrained by the experimental lower limit on the B0s-
mass difference, so that most likely no detectable signal of the supersymmetry generated scalar flavor changing neutral currents in the processes
and
is possible.Received: 9 September 2003, Revised: 8 October 2003, Published online: 15 January 2004 相似文献

We analyze the low energy spectrum of bound states of the N = 1 SU(2) SUSY Yang-Mills Theory (SYM). This work continues the investigation of the non-perturbative properties of SYM by Monte Carlo simulations in the Wilson discretization with dynamical gluinos. The dynamics of the gluinos is included by the Two-Step Multi-Bosonic Algorithm (TSMB) for dynamical fermions. A new set of configurations has been generated on a
lattice at
and
. The analysis also includes sets of configurations previously generated on a smaller (
) lattice at
and 0.1955. Guided by predictions from low energy Lagrangians, we consider spin-1/2, scalar and pseudoscalar particles. The spectrum of SYM is a challenging subject of investigation because of the extremely noisy correlators. In particular, meson-like correlators contain disconnected contributions. The larger time-extension of the
lattice allows to observe two-state signals in the effective mass. Finite-volume effects are monitored by comparing results from the two lattice sizes.Received: 14 September 2004, Revised: 29 October 2004, Published online: 21 December 2004 相似文献

The phenomenon of spontaneous symmetry breaking admits a physical interpretation in terms of the Bose condensation process of elementary spinless quanta. In this picture, the broken-symmetry phase emerges as a real physical medium, endowed with a hierarchical pattern of scales, supporting two types of elementary excitations for
: a massive energy branch
, corresponding to the usual Higgs boson field, and a collective gapless branch
. This is similar to the coexistence of phonons and rotons in superfluid 4He that, in fact, is usually considered the condensed-matter analog of the Higgs condensate. After previous work dedicated to the properties of the gapless phonon branch, in this paper we use quantum hydrodynamics to propose a physical interpretation of the massive branch. On the base of our results, MH coincides with the energy gap for vortex formation and a massive Higgs boson is like a roton in superfluid 4He. Within this interpretation of the Higgs particle, there is no naturalness problem since MH remains a naturally intermediate, fixed energy scale, even for an ultimate ultraviolet cutoff

We consider the process
at a linear collider with transverse
beam polarization. We investigate the influence of the CP phases on azimuthal asymmetries in
with subsequent two-body decays
and
. We show that triple product correlations involving the transverse
beam polarization vanish if at least one subsequent chargino decay is not observed. We derive this result within the minimal supersymmetric standard model (MSSM) with complex parameters; however, it holds also in the general MSSM with SUSY flavor violation.Received: 29 March 2004, Published online: 30 July 2004 相似文献

We perform a complete analysis of isospin breaking in
amplitudes in chiral perturbation theory, including both strong isospin violation (
) and electromagnetic corrections to next-to-leading order in the low-energy expansion. The unknown chiral couplings are estimated at leading order in the 1/Nc expansion. We study the impact of isospin breaking on CP conserving amplitudes and rescattering phases. In particular, we extract the effective couplings g8 and g27 from a fit to
branching ratios, finding small deviations from the isospin-limit case. The ratio
measuring the
enhancement is found to decrease from
in the isospin limit to
in the presence of isospin breaking. We also analyze the effect of isospin violation on the CP violation parameter
, finding a destructive interference between three different sources of isospin violation. Within the uncertainties of large-Nc estimates for the low-energy constants, the isospin violating correction for

We perform for the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) a detailed study of charged Higgs boson production via the top-bottom quark associated mode followed by decays into a chargino and a neutralino, with masses and couplings as given by the general minimal supersymmetric standard model (MSSM). We focus our attention on the region of parameter space with
and intermediate values of
, where identification of
via decays into standard model (SM) particles has proven to be ineffective. Modelling the CMS detector, we find that a signature consisting of three hard leptons accompanied by a hadronically reconstructed top quark plus substantial missing transverse energy, which may result from
decays, can be made viable over a large variety of initially overwhelming SM and MSSM backgrounds, provided MSSM input parameters are favourable: notably, small
and light sleptons are important prerequisites. We quantify these statements by performing a fairly extensive scan of the parameter space, including realistic hadron-level simulations, and delineate some potential discovery regions.Received: 16 April 2003, Revised: 23 June 2003, Published online: 29 August 2003S.

jet and
4 jet decays, assuming the presence of CP-violating effective
and
couplings. Longitudinal beam polarization is included in the studies. We propose a direct search for such CP-violating couplings by using various CP-odd observables. The data of a future linear collider running at the Z-resonance in the so-called GigaZ option should give significant information on the couplings. Finally we show that stringent bounds on the mass of excited b quarks can be derived if appropriate couplings are of a size characteristic of a strong interaction.Received: 21 August 2003, Published online: 20 November 2003 相似文献

During the June 2002 run NA60 collected around 600 000 dimuon triggers in proton-nucleus collisions at 400 GeV. We show that
the collected dimuon mass spectra can be understood in terms of known sources. The specific target setup, consisting of Beryllium,
Indium and Lead targets, simultaneously exposed to the beam, allowed us to study the nuclear dependence of the production
cross-section of the
and
resonances. The elementary nucleon-nucleon production cross-sections at 400 GeV for the
,
and
mesons are also presented. By using the
-Dalitz decay, dominating the mass range below 450 MeV, we, furthermore, extracted the
production cross-section and its nuclear dependence. The results are discussed in the framework of previous measurements,
mostly obtained in different decay channels, performed by NA27, HELIOS-1 and CERES-TAPS.

In the CP-violating minimal supersymmetric standard model (MSSM), for certain values of the CP-violating phases associated to the universal trilinear couplings (At, Ab) and the gluino mass
, e.g.,
or
, for
GeV and
-5, the lightest Higgs boson mass (
) is
GeV. This mass interval is still allowed by results of standard LEP Higgs searches because of a strongly suppressed H1ZZ coupling. However, in the same region of parameter space in which these two conditions occur, the
coupling is enhanced because the two mentioned sets of couplings satisfy a sum rule. In this paper we probe such a light Higgs scenario at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) by studying
associate production, leading to a
signal. We show that the latter is readily accessible at the CERN hadron collider, upon the application of suitable selection cuts against the standard model (SM) backgrounds. Our parton level Monte Carlo (MC) analysis yields
-45 signal events, completely free of SM background, for
- 30 fb-1 of accumulated luminosity, after taking into account the overall efficiency for tagging four b-jets.Received: 21 February 2005, Published online: 6 July 2005 相似文献

The standard-model interpretation of the ratios of charged and neutral
rates, R
c and R
n, respectively, points towards a puzzling picture. Since these observables are affected significantly by colour-allowed electroweak (EW) penguins, this
puzzle could be a manifestation of new physics in the EW penguin sector. Performing the analysis in the R
n- R
c plane, which is very suitable for monitoring various effects, we demonstrate that we may, in fact, move straightforwardly to the experimental region in this plane through an enhancement of the relevant EW penguin parameter q. We derive analytical bounds for q in terms of a quantity L, which measures the violation of the Lipkin sum rule, and point out that strong phases around
are favoured by the data, in contrast to QCD factorisation. The
modes imply a correlation between q and the angle
that, in the limit of negligible rescattering effects and colour-suppressed EW penguins, depends only on the value of L. Concentrating on a minimal flavour-violating new-physics scenario with enhanced Z
0 penguins, we find that the current experimental values on
require roughly
. As the
data give
, L has either to move to smaller values once the
data improve or new sources of flavour and CP violation are needed. In turn, the enhanced values of L seen in the
data could be accompanied by enhanced branching ratios for the rare decays

Upper limits on the cross-section of the pair-production process
, assuming 100
branching fraction to hadrons, are derived from a new search for the
hadrons final state, independently of the hadronic flavour of the decay products. This study, combined with previously published searches for the neutral Higgs bosons h0 and A0, is used to constrain the Type II Two Higgs Doublet Model (2HDM(II)) with no CP violation in the Higgs sector and no additional non-Standard Model particles besides the five Higgs bosons. The analysis combines LEP1 and LEP2 data collected with the OPAL detector up to the highest available centre-of-mass energies. The searches are sensitive to the
and
decay modes of the Higgs bosons. A benchmark scan of the 2HDM(II) parameter space is performed. Large regions of the 2HDM(II) parameter space explored are excluded at the 95% CL in the (
and
