In this paper we study events with W+jets final state, produced in double parton (DP) interactions, as a background to the associated Higgs boson (H) and W production, with H->bbar decay, at the Tevatron. We have found that the event yield…

I will attempt to survey some selected physics issues on QCD interconnection phenomena in the processes $e^+e^-\to W^+W^-\to$ 4 jets and $e^+e^-\to t\bar t \to b W^+\bar b W^-$. Possible consequences for LEP2 and future linear $e^+e^-$…

The rare decays of mesons are higher order effects in weak interactions. The main contributions to such decay processes are from the Z-penguin, the photonpenguin and the box diagram. At the quark level, these contributions are well known.…
