For any inelastic process $v_{\ell} + I \to \ell^- + F$ with $m_{\ell} = 0$, the cross section at $\theta_{\ell} = 0$ is given by Adler's PCAC theorem. Inclusion of the lepton mass has a dynamical effect (``PCAC-screening'') caused by…
We discuss the implications of the eikonal amplitude on the pair production probability in ultrarelativistic heavy-ion transits. In this context the Weizs\"acker-Williams method is shown to be exact in the ultrarelativistic limit,…
We analyze in detail the most singular behaviour of processes involving triple-collinear splittings with massive particles in the quasi-collinear limit, and present compact expressions for the splitting amplitudes and the corresponding…
The splitting processes of bremsstrahlung and pair production in a medium are coherent over large distances in the very high energy limit, which leads to a suppression known as the Landau-Pomeranchuk-Migdal (LPM) effect. We continue study…
Crossing symmetry asserts that particles are indistinguishable from anti-particles traveling back in time. In quantum field theory, this statement translates to the long-standing conjecture that probabilities for observing the two scenarios…
We compute the one loop contribution coming from vertex and box diagrams, where virtual top quarks are exchanged, to the asymptotic energy behaviour of $b\bar b$ pair production at future lepton colliders. We find that the effect of the top…

The lepton pair production $e^- e^+ \to e^- e^+ l^- l^+ $ or $\mu^- \mu^+ \to \mu^- \mu^+ l^- l^+ $ is studied in the dominant cross section region of scattering angles ${m_j}/{E_j} \stackrel{<}{\sim} \theta_j \ll 1 $. An analytical…

We consider particle production in high energy pA collisions. In addition to the coherent interactions with the nuclear color field, we take into account coherent interactions with the nuclear electromagnetic Coulomb field. Employing the…
The main possibilities of investigation of leptons and bosons birth in interaction of polarized photons are considered. The usage of $\gamma \gamma \to f \bar{f} [+\gamma]$ reactions for the luminosity measurement on linear photon collider…

We study momentum imbalance as a function of jet asymmetry in high-energy heavy-ion collisions. To implement parton production during the collision, we include all Leading Order (LO) $2\to 2$ and $2\to 3$ parton processes in pQCD. The…
We study a quantum-mechanical system of three particles in a one-dimensional box with two-particle harmonic interactions. The symmetry of the system is described by the point group $D_{3d}$. Group theory greatly facilitates the application…
The strength of the electromagnetic fields in the bunch collision at a linear collider will have a significant effect, yielding large numbers of beamstrahlung photons and associated coherent pair production. These effects are limited in the…
We interpret anomalies, deviations, from the standard model as being in fact due to effects not given by perturbation, because the top Yukawa coupling is after all so large that not by perturbation effects become important. Most of the…
We explore a general framework how to treat coupled-channel systems in the presence of overlapping left and right-hand cuts as well as anomalous thresholds. Such systems are studied in terms of a generalized potential, where we exploit the…
The search for a top quark in association with a Z boson can be performed in both top pair production as well as single top production. Targeting the three lepton final state, the search can be used to identify the standard model (SM)…
