The presently most accurate prediction for the W-boson mass in the Standard Model is obtained by combining the complete two-loop result with the known higher-order QCD and electroweak corrections. The numerical impact of the different…
A special class of supersymmetric U(1) gauge extensions of the standard model was proposed in 2002. It is anomaly-free, has no mu term, and conserves baryon and lepton numbers automatically. It also allows the lightest Higgs boson to have a…
A detailed compilation of uncertainties in the MSbar bottom quark mass m_b(m_b) obtained from low-n spectral sum rules at order alpha_s^2 is given including charm mass effects and secondary b production. The experimental continuum region…
We show that large ($> 100$ GeV) mass splittings between the charged Higgs boson ($H^\pm$) and the neutral Higgs bosons ($H^0$ and $A^0$) are possible in the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM). Such splittings occur when the $\mu$…
A lower bound of 135 MeV for the width of the \xi meson is obtained from analyzing the pp and pbar-p interactions by use of Regge theory. The pp data exclude a narrow \xi as the latter would lead to total pbar-p cross sections far exceeding…
A manifestation of narrow diproton resonances in the early discovered global structure of proton-proton total cross section at low energies is discussed. It is also discussed the existence of new particle with the mass $1.833 MeV$ predicted…
The W boson mass (mW) is a key parameter of the standard model, constraining the mass of the unobserved Higgs boson. Using Tevatron ppbar collision data from 1992-1996, the CDF and D0 collaborations measured mW to a precision of 59 MeV. The…
The spectrum of the $s\bar s$ mesons is studied performing a phenomenological analysis of the Regge trajectories defined for the excitation energies. For the $\phi(3 ^3S_1)$ state the mass $M(\phi(3S))=2100(20)$ MeV and the leptonic width…
The observation that the $b \rightarrow s\gamma $ decay rate is close to the Standard Model value implies a large mass for the charged-Higgs boson in the Minimum Supersymmetric Standard Model, that nearly closes the $t \rightarrow b H^+$…
Eclipsing binaries with M-type components are still rare objects. Strong observational biases have made that today only a few eclipsing binaries with component masses below 0.6 Msun and well-determined fundamental properties are known.…
A search for the Standard Model Higgs boson is carried out on 176.4pb$^{-1}$ of data collected by the L3 detector at a center-of-mass energy of 189 GeV. The data are consistent with the expectations of Standard Model processes and no…
The muon anomalous magnetic moment $a_\mu$ is studied in the infinite $\tan\beta$ limit of the MSSM. Since the muon mass arises completely from loop effects, large corrections to $a_\mu$ are expected in comparison to the usual case with…
We report the observation and measurement of the mass of the bottom, strange baryon $\Xi^-_b$ through the decay chain $\Xi^-_b \to J/\psi \Xi^-$, where $J/\psi \to \mu^+ \mu^-$, $\Xi^- \to \Lambda \pi^-$, and $\Lambda \to p \pi^-$. Evidence…
Using mainly $\vec{p}$ p $\to$ p ${\pi^+}X$ and $\vec{p}$ p $\to$ p$_{f}$~p$_{s}$ X reactions, narrow baryonic structures were observed in the mass range 950$\le$ M $\le$ 1800 MeV.
After reviewing briefly the upper bounds on the mass of the lightest Higgs boson in the most general unconstrained minimal supersymmetric extension of the Standard Model, we discuss various arguments which reduce the parameter space of the…
Indications of the existence of quasi-bound states in the N-Nbar system are presented. Measurements by BES discovered a broad enhancement close to the p-pbar threshold in the S wave, isospin 0 state formed in radiative decays of J/psi.…
A muon collider operating in the TeV energy range can be an ideal s-channel Higgs boson factory. This is especially true for a heavy Higgs boson. The non-perturbative dynamical aspects of such a Higgs boson were recently investigated with…
The observation of a new boson of mass $\sim 125\gev$ at the CERN LHC may finally have revealed the existence of a Higgs boson. Now we have the opportunity to scrutinize its properties, determining its quantum numbers and couplings to the…
We study two coupling constants reported as predictions of the sigma model. We obtain an spectral distribution, in terms of the \sigma meson regularized self- energy in one loop order, which is consistently with the Breit-Wigner…
