The apparent unification of gauge couplings around 10^16 GeV is one of the strong arguments in favor of Supersymmetric extensions of the Standard Model (SM). In this contribution two new analyses of the gauge coupling running, the latter…
A single-spin asymmetry was measured in the azimuthal distribution of pi+pi- pairs produced in semi-inclusive deep-inelastic scattering on a transversely polarized hydrogen target. For the first time, evidence is found for a correlation…
Data on the beam asymmetry $\Sigma$ in the photoproduction of $\eta$ mesons off protons are reported for tagged photon energies from 1130 to 1790 MeV (mass range from $W=$ 1748 MeV to $W=$ 2045 MeV). The data cover the full solid angle that…
Reported here are transverse single-spin asymmetries ($A_{N}$) in the production of charged hadrons as a function of transverse momentum ($p_T$) and Feynman-$x$ ($x_F$) in polarized $p^{\uparrow}$+$p$, $p^{\uparrow}$+Al, and…
Generalized Bose-Einstein symmetry requires that J+I=even for two-pion angular states of spin J and total isospin I. We show that the symmetry predicts three linearly independent constraints on partial wave intensities with even spin for…
We have measured the beam-normal single-spin asymmetry $A_n$ in the elastic scattering of 1-3 GeV transversely polarized electrons from $^1$H and for the first time from $^4$He, $^{12}$C, and $^{208}$Pb. For $^1$H, $^4$He and $^{12}$C, the…
In order to reproduce the measured mass of the Higgs boson mh = 125GeV in the minimal supersymmetric standard model, one usually has to rely on heavy stops, increasing the fine tuning of the electroweak scale. By introducing a new gauge…
Large transverse single-spin asymmetries, A_{N}, have been observed in forward hadron production at RHIC. STAR has reported precision measurements of the x_{F}-p_{T} dependence of A_{N} for forward pi^0 production. Contrary to expectation,…
We report some results in large pseudo rapidity pi^0-production in polarized proton collisions at 200 GeV center of mass energy. The single spin asymmetry for positive Feynman x (x_F) is consistent with zero up to ~0.35, then increases with…
We determine the spin of a supermassive black hole in the context of discseismology by comparing newly detected quasi-periodic oscillations (QPOs) of radio emission in the Galactic centre, Sagittarius A* (Sgr A*), as well as infrared and…
We compute the one-loop corrections to the $Z \to b\bar{b}$ vertex in the $U(1)_R$ symmetric minimal supersymmetric extension of the standard model. We find that the predicted value of $R_b$ is consistent with experiment if the mass of the…
Although supersymmetry has not been seen directly by experiment, there are powerful physics reasons to suspect that it should be an ingredient of nature and that superpartner masses should be somewhat near the weak scale. I present an…
In the minimal supersymmetric standard model (MSSM), when radiative corrections are included, the mass of the $CP=+1$ lightest Higgs boson is bounded by $\sim 110\ GeV$ for $m_t < 150\ GeV$ and a scale of supersymmetry breaking $\sim\ 1\…
