In this report, we discuss the measurement of the hadronic decay modes of resonances in relativistic heavy-ion collisions, emphasizing on RHIC results. The study of resonances can provide: (1) the yield and spectra of more particles with…
We study the process $W^+ W^- \to t \bar t$ in several models of strong interaction electroweak symmetry breaking. We calculate the signals that can be expected by observing the reaction $e^+ e^- \to \nu \bar\nu t \bar t$ at an $e^+ e^-$…

The momenta of $\tau$ decay products in the reaction $e^+e^-\to\tau^+\tau^-$ do not constrain the $\tau$ direction unambiguously. It is shown how the measurement of tracks of hadrons from semileptonic $\tau$ decays, in particular their…
