There is a close analogy between electroweak instanton-induced baryon plus lepton number (B+L) violating processes in Quantum Flavor Dynamics (QFD) and hard QCD instanton-induced chirality violating processes in deep-inelastic scattering.…
We present a first status report on a broad and systematic study of possible manifestations of QCD-instantons at HERA. Considerable motivation comes from the close analogy between instanton-induced $B+L$ violation in electroweak processes…
Phenomenological aspects of chirality violating processes induced by QCD instantons in deep inelastic scattering are discussed. First instanton searches and the prospects for their experimental discovery at HERA are presented.
Chiral electroweak anomalies predict fermion interactions that violate baryon ($B$) and lepton number ($L$), and can be dressed with large numbers of Higgs and gauge bosons. The estimation of the total $B+L$ violating rate from an initial…
Recently, the CMS collaboration has reported their search for electroweak instanton-like processes with anomalous $B+L$ violation assuming multi-fermion but zero-boson final states. On the other hand, many theoretical studies suggest that…
The Standard Model of particle physics predicts the existence of quantum tunnelling processes across topological inequivalent vacua, known as Instantons. In the electroweak sector, instantons provide a source of baryon asymmetry within the…

We discuss the possible signatures in the electroweak symmetry breaking sector by new strong dynamics at future hadron colliders such as the Tevatron upgrade, the LHC and VLHC, and $e^+e^-$ linear colliders. Examples include a heavy…
QCD dynamics at small quark and gluon momentum fractions or large total energy, which plays a major role for HERA, the Tevatron, RHIC and LHC physics, is still poorly understood. For one of the simplest processes, namely bottom-antibottom…
Strong interaction physics will be ubiquitous at the Large Hadron Collider since the colliding beams consist of confined quarks and gluons. Although the main purpose of the LHC is to study the mechanism of electroweak symmetry breaking and…
Discovery of instantons in colliders will provide experimental evidence for the topological properties of the QCD vacuum. In this work, we propose jet correlation observables that can unambiguously discriminate between instanton-induced…
We report the "state of the art" of the problem of $B+L$ violation in high-energy electroweak scatterings. Results of various analyses point toward (though do not prove rigorously yet) the "half-suppression", i.e., that the $B+L$ violating…
When the Higgs sector of the standard model is replaced by a flavor doublet of color sextet quarks, dynamical electroweak symmetry breaking occurs, with the electroweak scale identified as the sextet chiral scale. Above the electroweak…
