SUSY23 V2.0 : an event generator for supersymmetric processes at e+e- colliders
Abstract S usy23 is a Monte Carlo package for generating supersymmetric (SUSY) processes at e + e − colliders. Twenty-three types of SUSY processes with 2 or 3 final state particles at tree level are included in version 2.0. S usy23 addresses event simulation requirements at e + e − colliders such as LEP. Matrix elements are generated by GRACE with the helicity amplitude method for processes involving massive fermions. The phase space integration of the matrix element gives the total and differential cross sections, then unweighted events are generated. Sparticle widths and decay branching ratios are calculated. Each final state particle may then decay according to these probabilities. Spin correlations are taken into account in the decays of sparticles. Corrections of initial state radiation (ISR) are implemented in two ways, one is based on the electron structure function formalism and the second uses the parton shower algorithm called QEDPS. Parton shower and hadronization of the final quarks are performed through an interface to JETSET.

A System for the Automatic Computation of Cross-Sections Including SUSY Particles
We introduce a new method to treat Majorana fermions on the GRACE system, which has already been developed for the computation of the matrix elements for the processes of the standard model. In the standard model, we already have included such particles as Dirac fermions, gauge bosons and scalar bosons in the system. On the other hand, there are four Majorana fermions called neutralinos in the minimal SUSY standard model (MSSM). In consequence, we have constructed a system for the automatic computation of cross-sections for the processes of the MSSM. It is remarkable that our system is also applicable for another model including Majorana fermions once the definition of the model file is given.

Automatic Computation of Cross Sections in HEP ∗ Status of GRACE System
For the study of reactions in High Energy Physics (HEP) automatic computation systems have been developed and are widely used nowadays. GRACE is one of such systems and it has achieved much success in analyzing experimental data. Since we deal with the cross section whose value can be given by calculating hundreds of Feynman diagrams, we manage the large scale calculation, so that effective symbolic manipulation, the treat of singularity in the numerical integration are required. The talk will describe the software design of GRACE system and computational techniques in the GRACE. High energy experimental physics has produced excellent results thanks to the progress of the detectors and the development of the high energy accelerators with high luminosity. Accordingly, the accurate theoretical computation is required to compare experimental results with theoretical predictions. On the other hand, as the beam energy becomes higher, there appear the physics processes with many final state particles. As a matter of course the number of relevant Feynman diagrams becomes huge. This means that Feynman amplitude calculation is practically impossible when one calculates cross sections by hands. Since the perturbative calculation in quantum field theory is well-defined, it can be realized as an automatic computation system. There appeared several systems, for instance, CompHEP 1) and FeynArt/FeynCalc 2) , in HEP and nowadays the automatic computation of Feynman amplitudes becomes common. We have developed an automatic computation system named GRACE. 3) In section 2, we describe the feature of GRACE system as a concrete example of such system. In section 3, several physical achievements by GRACE are briefly explained. In section 4, we discuss the techniques in GRACE from the view point of computing.

Present Status of GRACE/SUSY-loop
GRACE/SUSY-loop is a program package for the automatic calculation of the MSSM amplitudes in one-loop order. We present features of GRACE/SUSY-loop, processes calculated using GRACE/SUSY-loop and an extension of the non-linear gauge formalism applied to GRACE/SUSY-loop.

Difference equations in spin chains with a boundary
Correlation functions and form factors in vertex models or spin chains are known to satisfy certain difference equations called the quantum Knizhnik-Zamolodchikov equations. We find similar difference equations for the case of semi-infinite spin chain systems with integrable boundary conditions. We derive these equations using the properties of the vertex operators and the boundary vacuum state, or alternatively through corner transfer matrix arguments for the eight-vertex model with a boundary. The spontaneous boundary magnetization is found by solving such difference equations. The boundary S-matrix is also proposed and compared, in the sine-Gordon limit, with Ghoshal-Zamolodchikov's result. The axioms satisfied by the form factors in the boundary theory are formulated.

Algebra of Screening Operators for the Deformed Wn Algebra

Abstract:We construct a family of intertwining operators (screening operators) between various Fock space modules over the deformed Wn algebra. They are given as integrals involving a product of screening currents and elliptic theta functions. We derive a set of quadratic relations among the screening operators, and use them to construct a Felder-type complex in the case of the deformed W3 algebra.
