We study the effects of a possible strong final state interaction among longitudinal W's in gamma.gamma --> W+W-. The relevant partial wave amplitudes are modified by an Omn\`es function approximated by a Breit-Wigner form factor. We study…
In this letter it is shown how final-state QED corrections to the production of a pair of resonances can distort the line shape of such a resonance in a sizeable way. This effect depends on the definition of the line shape and can reach up…

The interplay of shaped signaling and fiber nonlinearities is reviewed in the asymptotic and finite-length regime. We present explanations and discuss implications of an optimum shaping length of just a few hundred symbols.
The resonance-continuum interference is usually neglected when the width of a resonance is small compared to the resonance mass. We re-examine this standard by studying the interference effects in high-resolution decay channels,…

We calculate e+e- --> stop/stop/Z at a linear collider. For large splitting between the two stops the cross-section is sensitive to the value of m(stop2) when this particle is too heavy to be directly produced. The results are compared to…

The boundary line between the ferromagnetic and the spin-glass phases was investigated. Finite size corrections to the free energy and magnetization were calculated. The situation coincides with the case in the information theory, when the…
The zero-width approximation (ZWA) restricts the intermediate unstable particle state to the mass shell and, when combined with the decorrelation approximation, fully factorizes the production and decay of unstable particles. The ZWA…
