We describe a measurement of the charge asymmetry of leptons from W boson decays in the rapidity range 0<|y_l|<2.5 using W --> enu, munu events from 110+/-7 pb^{-1}of data collected by the CDF detector during 1992-95. The asymmetry data…
A new $U(1)_X$ gauge boson $X$ primarily interacting with a dark sector can have renormalizable kinetic mixing with the standard model (SM) $U(1)_Y$ gauge boson $Y$. This mixing besides introduces interactions of dark photon and dark sector…
We propose a new possible explanation of the ATLAS di-boson excess: that it is due to heavy resonant slepton production, followed by decay into di-smuons. The smuon has a mass not too far from the W and Z masses, and so it is easily…
I discuss in qualitative terms the implications of the recent measurement by C. S. Wood et al. of the hyperfine dependence of atomic parity violation in 133Cs. The derived anapole moment constrains the strength of hadronic parity violation.

We compute the effects of a finite $W$ boson mass on the inclusive $b\rightarrow c \ell \nu$ decay rate and the semileptonic moments. To this end we keep terms of $\mathcal{O}\left(q^2/m_W^2 \right)$ when integrating out the $W$ boson in…
