Parity-nonconserving two-body currents due to vector meson exchange are considered with the aim to determine the related contributions to the anapole moment. A particular attention is given to the requirement of current conservation which…
At the LHC, the measurement of the W mass with a precision of \cal{O}(10) MeV/c^2 is both mandatory and difficult. In the analysis strategies proposed so far, shortcuts have been made that are justified for proton-antiproton collisions at…
The CDF and D0 collaborations have updated their measurements of the mass of the top quark using proton-antiproton collisions at sqrt{s}=1.96TeV produced at the Tevatron. The uncertainties in each of the of top-antitop decay channels have…
The full order $\alpha_s^4$ perturbative QCD calculation of the production of $B_c$ mesons at the Tevatron is compared with the fragmentation approximation. The non-fragmentation diagrams, in which two or more quarks and/or gluons can…
Meson exchange contributions have been suggested as one class of medium effects which might explain the continuing discrepancy between experimental results and theoretical predictions for K+-nucleus scattering. These exchange effects are…
We study the impact of electroweak radiative corrections on direct production of photons with high transverse momenta at hadron colliders. Analytic results for the weak one-loop corrections to the parton scattering reaction $\bar q q \to…
The strangeness magnetic moment of the proton is shown to be small in the chiral quark model. The dominant loop contribution is due to kaons. The K^* loop contributions are proportional to the difference between the strange and light…
If neutrino is the Majorana particle it can possess only one electromagnetic characteristic, the toroid dipole moment (anapole) in the static limit and nothing else. We have calculated the diagonal toroid moment (form factor) of the…
Recent developments in models with warped extra dimensions have opened new possibilities for vector-like quark studies at hadron colliders. These new vector-like quarks can mix sizably with light Standard Model quarks without violating low…
We discuss the physical picture that a parton interaction with a coherent group of partons can lead to more jet quenching effect in the hot and dense matter created by heavy ion collisions at RHIC and LHC energies. We came to this picture…
We study di-hadron correlations in proton-proton collisions at $\sqrt{s} = 200$ GeV and interpret experimental data in terms of a fragmentation width and a momentum imbalance. A fragmentation width of $580 \pm 50$ GeV/c is obtained, and the…
We have studied events with a high-x_F antiproton and two central jets with E_T>7 GeV in CDF, in p+p_bar collisions at sqrt(s) = 1800 GeV. From the di-jet kinematics we derive the diffractive structure function of the antiproton. We also…
We express the baryon magnetic moments in terms of the baryon tensor charges, considering the quarks as relativistic interacting objects. Once tensor charges get measured accurately, the formula for the baryon magnetic moment will serve to…
The dipole cutoff behavior for the proton form factor has been and still is one of the major issues in high-energy physics. It is shown that this dipole behavior comes from the coherence between the Lorentz contraction of the proton size…
Microscopical approach to a deuteron breakup at high and intermediate energies is proposed. We show that the quark exchange effects, resulting from the full asymmetry of the $6q$-deuteron wave function with respect to the pair permutations…
The production of top-antitop pairs at the Fermilab Tevatron shows a forward-backward asymmetry in which the top quark tends to follow the proton direction, while the antitop tends to follow the antiproton direction. The effect grows with…
Top quark pair production at proton-antiproton colliders is known to exhibit a forward-backward asymmetry due to higher-order QCD effects. We explore how this asymmetry might be studied at the Fermilab Tevatron, including how the asymmetry…
Experiments involving proton-proton collisions at energies $\sqrt{s_{NN}}$ = 0.9, 2.76 and 7 TeV in Large Hadron Collider (LHC) have produced a vast amount of high-precision data. Here, in this work, we have chosen to analyse the two…
Several recent measurements at the Tevatron experiments point towards an anomalously large forward-backward asymmetry in top-antitop production. This article summarizes the main classes of physics beyond the standard model that can give…
We critically discuss fragmentation of quark or antiquark to massive particles (mesons or baryons) in proton-proton collisions. Both heavy and light quark/antiquark fragmentations are discussed using universal $z$-dependent fragmentation…
