We consider the resonant production of sleptons via R-parity violation in hadron-hadron collisions followed by supersymmetric gauge decays of the sleptons. We look at decay modes which lead to the production of a like-sign dilepton pair.…

Highlights of the results from ultrarelativistic heavy ion collisions at CERN-SPS are reviewed. In particular, I discuss how the experimental results indicate that a collective strongly interacting system has been produced, and what are the…
The CERES/NA45 experiment at the CERN SPS has previously measured $e^{+}e^{-}$ pair production in 160 AGeV Pb-Au collisions. In the mass region m>0.2 GeV/c$^{2}$, an enhancement of $2.7\pm0.4(statist.)\pm0.5(syst.)$ compared to the…
From the very early days of Particle Physics, both experimental and theoretical studies on proton-proton collisions had occupied the center-stage of attention for very simple and obvious reasons. And this intense interest seems now to be at…
In this article we investigate the influence of nuclear effects in the production of gluinos in nuclear collisions at the LHC, and estimate the transverse momentum dependence of the nuclear ratios $R_{pA} = {\frac{d\sigma (pA)}{dy d^2 p_T}}…

The hadroproduction of lepton pairs with mass $Q$ and transverse momentum $Q_T$ can be described in perturbative QCD by the same partonic subprocesses as prompt photon production. We demonstrate that, like prompt photon production, lepton…
