Using recent collider data, especially on the hadronic width the Z0, we exclude axigluons in the currently allowed low-mass window, namely axigluons in the mass range 50 GeV < M_A < 120 GeV. Combined with hadron collider data from di-jet…
The NA60 experiment at the CERN SPS has studied dimuon production in 158A GeV In-In collisions. The strong excess of pairs above the known sources found in the complete mass region 0.2<M<2.6 GeV has previously been interpreted as thermal…
We discuss recent CLEO results on D0-D0bar and B0d-B0dbar mixing. The principal results are that for the D0 system, allowing for CP violations, the mixing amplitude x'<2.9% (95% C.L.), and for the B0d system, chi=0.198+-0.013+-0.014. We…
An overview of selected experimental results in the field of $D^0$-$\bar{D}^0$ oscillations is presented. The average results for the mixing parameters, $x=(0.89\pm{0.26\atop 0.27})%$ and $y=(0.75\pm{0.17\atop 0.18})%$, exclude the…
We prove new bounds on the distributed fractional coloring problem in the LOCAL model. Fractional $c$-colorings can be understood as multicolorings as follows. For some natural numbers $p$ and $q$ such that $p/q\leq c$, each node $v$ is…
We present a search for new particles whose decays produce two jets (dijets) using proton-antiproton collision data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 1.13 fb-1 collected with the CDF II detector. The measured dijet mass spectrum…
Distributions of strictly positive numbers are common and can be characterized by standard statistical measures such as mean, standard deviation, and skewness. We demonstrate that for these distributions the skewness $D_3$ is bounded from…
The quark delocalization and color screening model, a quark potential model, is used for a systematic search of dibaryon candidates in the $u,d$ and $s$ three flavor world. Color screening which appears in unquenched lattice gauge…
In this paper, we study the production of spin-one color-octet resonances (colorons) at hadron colliders in a model independent way. We use dijets data measured by CDF (at \sqrt{s}=1.96 TeV and L=1.13$ 1/pb) and ATLAS (at \sqrt{s}=7$ TeV…
A measurement of Delta m_d is performed using inclusive lepton+vertex events at CDF. A probability based Same-Side Tagger was developed to tag the initial b-flavor of the B^0_d, which suppresses tagging on B-decay products. We find Delta…
The diquark condensate susceptibility in neutral color superconductor at moderate baryon density is calculated in the frame of two flavor Nambu-Jona-Lasinio model. When color chemical potential is introduced to keep charge neutrality, the…
We summarize the results of two recent searches for flavor-changing neutral current, lepton-flavor violating, and lepton-number violating decays of D+, Ds, and D0 mesons (and their antiparticles) into modes containing muons and electrons.…
Using data recorded by CLEO-c detector at CESR, we search for simultaneous baryon and lepton number violating decays of the D^0 meson, specifically, D^0 --> p-bar e^+, D^0-bar --> p-bar e^+, D^0 --> p e^- and D^0-bar --> p e^-. We set the…
An insightful way of presenting the LHC limits on dijet resonances is the coupling-mass plot for a $Z'$ boson that has flavor-independent quark interactions. This also illustrates the comparison of low-mass LHC sensitivity with constraints…
The new physics required to explain the anomalies recently reported by the D0 and CDF collaborations, namely the top forward-backward asymmetry (FBA), the like-sign dimuon charge asymmetry in semileptonic b decay, and the CDF dijet excess,…
We use the invariant mass distribution of Drell-Yan dileptons as measured by the CDF and D0 Collaborations at the Fermilab Tevatron and make a careful analysis to constrain Kaluza-Klein models with large extra dimensions. The combined data…
Charm fragmentation and dijet angular distributions have been measured in $D^*$ photoproduction at HERA. Charm fragmentation and its property of universality is evaluated in terms of measurement of $P_v$, the ratio of vector/(vector +…
When considering strangelets at finite temperature it is important to obey the constraint that any observed state must be color singlet. This constraint results in an increase in strangelet masses as calculated at fixed entropy per baryon.…
The paper is devoted to the development of a comprehensive calculus for directional limiting normal cones, subdifferentials and coderivatives in finite dimensions. This calculus encompasses the whole range of the standard generalized…
For the exploration of flavour physics, b -> d penguin processes are an important aspect, with the prominent example of \bar B^0_d -> K^0 \bar K^0. We recently derived lower bounds for the CP-averaged branching ratio of this channel in the…
