The chiral magnetic effect and chiral symmetry breaking in <Emphasis Type="Italic">SU</Emphasis>(3) quenched lattice gauge theory

We study some properties of the non-Abelian vacuum induced by strong external magnetic field. We perform calculations in the quenched SU(3) lattice gauge theory with tadpole-improved Lüscher-Weisz action and chirally invariant lattice Dirac operator. The following results are obtained: The chiral symmetry breaking is enhanced by the magnetic field. The chiral condensate depends on the strength of the applied field as a power function with exponent ν = 1.6 ± 0.2. There is a paramagnetic polarization of the vacuum. The corresponding susceptibility and other magnetic properties are calculated and compared with the theoretical estimations. There are nonzero local fluctuations of the chirality and electromagnetic current, which grow with the magnetic field strength. These fluctuations can be a manifestation of the Chiral Magnetic Effect.     

T-Odd correlation in K+ → π0l+νγ decays beyond the standard model

The T-odd correlation in the decays K ⁺ → π ⁰ l ⁺ νγ (l = e, μ) is investigated as a function of the parameters of the effective Lagrangian. It is shown that the T-odd correlation offers a good indicator of new physics in the vector and pseudovector sectors of the model under consideration. In the scalar and pseudoscalar sectors, investigation of the T-odd correlation gives no way to improve the current limits on the parameters of various extensions of the Standard Model. __________ Translated from Yadernaya Fizika, Vol. 67, No. 5, 2004, pp. 1025–1032.

Analysis of th e $$Hb\bar b$$ coupling constant and CP-violation eff ects at th e futur e e+ e− collid er

The \(e^ + e^ - \to b\bar bv\bar v\) process, where υ is an electron, muon, or τ-lepton neutrino, is analyzed in detail for the general form of the coupling constant of a Higgs boson with b quarks, with the (m _b /v)(a+Iγ₅b) parameterization of the \(Hb\bar b\) interaction. This process is shown to be highly sensitive to this coupling constant. Experiments at the future with \(\sqrt s = 500 - GeV\) linear collider will provide limits of 2 and 20% for deviations of the parameters a and b, respectively, from their Standard Model values. Results concerning the \(e^ + e^ - \to b\bar bv\bar v\) process in combination with the independent measurements of the partial width \(\Gamma _{H \to b\bar b}\) can testify to the CP origin of the Higgs sector of the theory.
