More on the τ-μ-e problem: The process e+e−→l+l− in the region of the z-resonance

Theoretical and experimental aspects of the study of the e-- problem in effects of neutral weak currents in colliding e⁺e^– beams in the region of the Z resonance are discussed. Quantities that describe the degree of violation of e-- universality are analyzed. In particular, it is shown that by measuring the spin asymmetry for angles 160° it is possible to determine the degree of violation ofl-e universality =g _A ^e g _V ^l –g _V ^e g _A ^l to an accuracy of up to 0.01.Translated from Izvestiya Vysshikh Uchebnykh Zavedenii, Fizika, No. 5, pp. 88-91, May, 1989.     

\bar v_e e^ - -Annihilation and supersymmetric particles

In the framework of a minimal supersymmetric (s) extension of the standard Glashow-Weinberg-Salam theory, creation of s-partners of known leptons and gauge bosons in the -annihilation is studied. The angle distributions and total cross sections of s-particle creation are investigated in detail. The comparison with similar processes with the participation of known particles is performed. The possibility of an experimental identification of s-particles in the -annihilation is analyzed.Translated from Izvestiya Vysshikh Uchebnykh Zavedenii, Fizika, No. 10, pp. 68–74, October, 1989.The authors thank I.

Interaction of 4-Isopropoxalyl-1,5-diphenyl-2,3-dihydro-2,3-pyrroledione with Thiosemicarbazide: Synthesis and Crystal and Molecular Structure of (3aS*)(4R*)(6aR*)-4,6a-dihydroxy-4-isopropoxycarbonyl-1-thiocarbamoyl-3,5-diphenyl-1,3a,4,5,6,6a-hexahydropyrrolo[3,4-d]pyrazol-6-one

4-Isopropoxalyl-1,5-diphenyl-2,3-dihydro-2,3-pyrroledione reacts with thiosemicarbazide to form (3aS*)(4R*)(6aR*)-4,6a-dihydroxy-4-isopropoxycarbonyl-1-thiocarbamoyl-3,5-diphenyl-1,3a,4,5,6,6a-hexahydropyrrolo[3,4-d]pyrazol-6-one. The molecular and crystal structure of the latter was studied by single crystal X-ray diffraction.

Multielement determination in a Chinese cigarette brand

A cigarette brand manufactured in the Republic of China was analyzed by instrumental neutron activation analysis to determine the concentration of 27 elements in cigarette tobacco, cigarette wrapping paper, cigarette filter before and after smoking and in the dropped ash. The results were compared to the literature values for American and other international cigarette brands.     

Synthesis and nitration of 4,6(4,8)-dimethyl-4-methyl-6(8)-methoxy-1,2,3,4-tetrahydrospiro [quinoline-2-cyclohexanes]

The cydization of 1-allyl-1-arylaminocyclohexanes under conditions of acid catalysis afforded 1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-4-methylspiro [quinoline-2-cyclohexanes] methyl (methoxy)-substituted in the phenylene ring. Their mono- and dinitro derivatives were synthesized, and their structure was established. Propositions on the direction of the nitration reaction of these heterocyclic compounds were expressed.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 6, pp. 784–788, June, 1993.
