The normalized turbulent dissipation rate $C_\epsilon$ is studied in decaying and forced turbulence by direct numerical simulations, large-eddy simulations, and closure calculations. A large difference in the values of $C_\epsilon$ is…
This paper contains a review of recent precision measurements of electroweak observables and resulting tests of the electroweak Standard Model.
This talk summarizes the status of the standard model predictions for electroweak precision observables including g-2 for muons, and discusses the status of the standard model and the MSSM in view of the new data.
The implications of recent precision $Z$-pole, $W$ mass, and weak neutral current data for testing the standard electroweak model, constraining the $t$ quark and Higgs masses, \alsz, and grand unification are discussed. A fit to all data…
Recent developments in the measurement of precision electroweak measurements are summarised, notably new results on the mass of the top quark and mass and width of the W boson. Predictions of the Standard Model are compared to the…
We present a concise review of the status of the Standard Model and of the search for new physics.
The CP violating parameter epsilon'/epsilon is computed using the low-energy dynamics of a chiral theory supplemented by vector resonances. The divergent contributions coming from strong pi-pi scattering are tamed by vector-meson exchange…
The analysis of the data on measurements of the neutron lifetime is presented. A new most accurate result of the measurement of neutron lifetime [Phys. Lett. B 605 (2005) 72] 878.5 +/- 0.8 s differs from the world average value [Phys. Lett.…
Keeping in view the suggestion of Barr and Marciano [7] that the cut of procedure involves a good deal of uncertainity in the prediction of E.D.M. of W - boson, we have re-examined the earlier calculation by Marciano and Queijeiro [2] by…
Recent Standard Model predictions for the anomalous magnetic moments of the electron, muon and tau lepton are reviewed and compared to the latest experimental values.
A systematic study is made of the data dependence of the parameter $A_{\rm{b}}$, that, since 1995, has shown a deviation from the Standard Model prediction of between 2.4 and 3.1 standard deviations. Issues addressed include: the effect of…
This note presents constraints on Standard Model parameters using published and preliminary precision electroweak results measured at the electron-positron colliders LEP and SLC. The results are compared with precise electroweak…
Measurements of the $R_{D^*}$ parameter remain in tension with the standard model prediction, despite recent results helping to close the gap. In this work, we revisit the standard model considerations for the prediction. We pay particular…
Standard perturbative (or mean field theory) techniques are not adequate for studying the finite-temperature electroweak phase transition in some cases of interest to scenarios for electroweak baryogenesis. We instead study the properties…
We present a new approximation to the normal distribution quantile function. It has a similar form to the approximation of Beasley and Springer [3], providing a maximum absolute error of less than $2.5 \cdot 10^{-5}$. This is less accurate…
We present a status report on our study of long-distance contributions to the decay amplitudes A(K^0 --> pi pi, I) in the framework of the 1/N expansion. We argue that a modified prescription for the identification of meson momenta in the…
Euclidean norm calculations arise frequently in scientific and engineering applications. Several approximations for this norm with differing complexity and accuracy have been proposed in the literature. Earlier approaches were based on…

The measurement of the mass of the W boson, m_W, by direct reconstruction is described. The combination of all measurements of the four LEP experiments yields m_W = 80.412 +- 0.042 GeV. Together with several other measurements the extracted…
The Standard Model (SM) of particle physics fails to explain dark matter and why matter survived annihilation with antimatter following the Big Bang. Extensions to the SM, such as weak-scale Supersymmetry, may explain one or both of these…
