Employing the heavy quark pole mass and static potential that were obtained from resummation of the renormalon-caused large order behavior to all orders, and matching the resummed static potential to the long distance Cornell potential we…
I provide a calculation at full two-loop order of the complex pole squared mass of the W boson in the Standard Model in the pure MS-bar renormalization scheme, with Goldstone boson mass effects resummed. This approach is an alternative to…
The physical pole and running masses of squarks and gluinos have recently been related at two-loop order in a mass-independent renormalization scheme. I propose a general method for improvement of such formulas, and argue that better…
Using renormalization group techniques, we examine several interesting relations among masses and mixing angles of quarks and leptons in the Standard Model. We extend the analysis to the minimal supersymmetric extension to determine its…
A model independent parametrization of an extension of the Standard Model including vector-like quarks, new heavy gauge bosons and an extra scalar, is introduced. Theoretical constraints on the model couplings and hypothetical particle…
Precise theoretical predictions are a key ingredient for an accurate determination of the structure of the Langrangian of particle physics, including its free parameters, which summarizes our understanding of the fundamental interactions…
We present results for the relation between a heavy quark mass defined in the on-shell and $\bar{\rm MS}$ scheme to four-loop order. The method to compute the four-loop on-shell integral is briefly described and the new results are used to…
I discuss the suppression of the lightest generation fermion mass terms in realistic superstring standard--like models in the free fermionic formulation. The suppression of the mass terms is a consequence of horizontal symmetries that arise…
Using a set of rephasing-invariant variables, it is shown that the renormalization group equations for quark mixing parameters can be written in a form that is compact, in addition to having simple properties under flavor permutation. We…
Renormalization plays an important role in the theoretically and mathematically careful analysis of models in condensed-matter physics. I review selected results about correlated-fermion systems, ranging from mathematical theorems to…
The basis of renormalon calculus is briefly discussed. The method is applied to study QCD predictions for three sum rules of deep-inelastic scattering, namely for the Gross-Llewellyn Smith, Bjorken polarized and unpolarized sum rules. It is…
We discuss the mass splitting between the the top and bottom quarks in a technicolor scenario. The model proposed here contains a left-right electroweak gauge group. An extended technicolor group and mirror fermions are introduced. The…
We investigate the determination of the Higgs-boson propagator poles in the MSSM. Based upon earlier works, we point out that in case of a large hierarchy between the electroweak scale and one or more SUSY masses a numerical determination…
We consider the problem of reconstructing energies, momenta, and masses in collider events with missing energy, along with the complications introduced by combinatorial ambiguities and measurement errors. Typically, one reconstructs more…
We study the corrections due to renormalons to the heavy hadron decay width.The renormalons contribution estimated in terms of finite gluon mass based on the assumption that the gluon mass represents the short distance nonperturbative…
We investigate the nature of power corrections and infrared renormalon singularities in large $\beta_0$ approximation. We argue that the power correction associated with a renormalon pole singularity should appear at O(1), in contrast to…
I discuss the matching relations for the running renormalizable parameters when the heavy particles (top quark, Higgs scalar, Z and W vector bosons) are simultaneously decoupled from the Standard Model. The complete two-loop order matching…
Recent results from studies using half the perturbative mass of heavy quark-antiquark n=1, ${}^3S_1$ quarkonium as a new heavy quark mass definition for problems where the characteristic scale is smaller than or of the same order as the…
