We study the decay process of the Z boson to a photon and a graviton. The most general form of the on-shell amplitude, subject to the constraints due to the conservation of the electromagnetic and the energy-momentum tensor, is determined.…
We calculate the decay rate of scalar and pseudoscalar Higgs bosons into a pair of gluinos, within the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model. In the theoretically and experimentally allowed light gluino window, $\mg \sim $ 3--5 GeV, gluino…
In the large extra dimensional ADD scenario, Z bosons undergo a one-loop decay into a photon and Kaluza-Klein towers of gravitons/gravi-scalars. We calculate such a decay width, extending previous arguments about the general form of the…
In extensions of the standard model, light scalar particles are often possible because of symmetry considerations. We study the decay of the Z boson into such particles. In particular, we consider for illustration the scalar sector of a…
We study the $Z\rightarrow \gamma \bar \gamma$ process in which the $Z$ boson decays into a photon $\gamma$ and a massless dark photon $\bar \gamma$, when the latter couples to standard-model fermions via dipole moments. This is a simple…
A model of a light $Z'$ boson is constructed and phenomenological bounds are derived. This $Z'$ boson arises from a very simple extension to the Standard Model, and it is constrained to be light because the vacuum expectation values which…
We study the decay of the standard model Z boson into unparticle plus a single photon through a one-loop process. As in the anomaly type decay, only the axial-vector part of the Z coupling matching with the vector unparticle and/or the…
A model of a light $Z'$ boson based on gauged $L_\mu - L_\tau$ $U(1)$ symmetry is constructed. The $Z'$ boson mass is constrained to be in the range of 0.8 to 1 GeV from Z and $Z'$ mass relation, g-2 of muon, and tau decays. The two body…
The precision data on Z boson decays from LEP-I and SLC colliders are compared with the predictions based on the Minimal Standard Theory. The Born approximation of the theory is based on three most accurately known observables: G_mu -- the…
We suggest that Bose statistics for photons can be tested by looking for decays of spin-1 bosons into two photons. The experimental upper limit on the decay $Z \rightarrow \gamma \gamma $ is used to establish for the first time the…
The two-particle wave function of neutrino and antineutrino after the decay of a Z boson is found as a solution of an initial value problem. The wave packet of this state involves the coherent superposition of massive neutrinos and…
Restrictive upper bounds on the heavy bottom squark mass when the gluino and one bottom squark are both light are based on the predicted reduction of $R_b$ (the fraction of $Z$ hadronic decays to $b \bar b$ pairs) in such a scenario. These…
The discrepancy between the measured and theoretical production cross section of $b$ quarks at the Tevatron can probably be explained by the recently proposed scenario of light gluinos of mass 12-16 GeV and light sbottoms of mass $2-5.5$…

We study the decay of a Z' boson into two Z bosons by extending the Landau-Yang theorem to a parent particle decaying into two Z bosons. For a spin-1 parent the theorem predicts: 1) there are only two possible couplings and 2) the…
