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…
Electromagnetic effects in the leptonic decay rates $\pi^+ \to \mu^+ \nu$ and $K^+ \to \mu^+ \nu$ are evaluated for the first time on the lattice. Following a method recently proposed in Ref. [1] the emission of virtual photons at leading…
We calculate the one-photon loop radiative corrections to virtual pion Compton scattering $\pi^- \gamma^* \to \pi^- \gamma$, that subprocess which determines in the one-photon exchange approximation the pion-nucleus bremsstrahlung reaction…

We compute the generic one-loop contribution involving scalar leptoquarks (LQ) to the $W$ and $Z$ leptonic decay widths. In our computation we include for the first time the finite terms and the corrections due to the external momenta of…
A new ansatz of democratic lepton mixing is proposed at the GUT scale and the radiative corrections to its phenomenological consequences are calculated at the electroweak scale. We demonstrate that it is possible to obtain the…
A complete analysis of the electroweak precision observables is performed within a recently proposed minimal composite Higgs model, realized as a 5-dimensional warped compactification. In particular, we compute Z->bb and the one-loop…
Future lepton colliders will provide a powerful tool for making precision experiments at energies that will range typically between 500 GeV and 2 TeV. At such high energies, one loop electroweak corrections are bigger than one could naively…
Electronic correlation energies from the random-phase approximation converge slowly with respect to the plane wave basis set size. We study the conditions, under which a short-range local density functional can be used to account for the…
Radiative corrections to the single top s and t channel production processes are revisited. Complete one-loop electroweak corrections are calculated within the SANC system. New is a study of the regularisation of the top-legs associated…
A set of equations representing the $W/Z$ mass ratio and various observables of $Z$ decays in terms of $\bar\alpha \equiv\alpha (m_Z)$, $G_{\mu}$, $m_Z$, $m_t$, $m_H$, $\bar\alpha_{s} \equiv\alpha_{s} (m_Z)$, $m_b$ and $m_\tau$ (all other…
We report on the calculation of the factorisable one-loop weak-interaction corrections to the initial and final states for three-jet observables in electron-positron annihilations. We show that such corrections are of a few percent at…
A self-consistent version of the left-right (LR) symmetric model is used to examine tree- as well as one-loop level radiative corrections to the muon decay. It is shown that constraints on the heavy sector of the model parameters are…
