PHENOMENOLOGICAL ANALYSIS OF THE gamma N N* FORM-FACTORS
The data on electroexcitation of ${N}^{*}$ in the momentum-transfer range $\ensuremath{-}{q}^{2}=0.1\ensuremath{-}2.33$ Ge${\mathrm{V}}^{2}$ have been analyzed phenomenologically, using an isobar model. Assuming only the $M1$ transition, we obtained a phenomenological form factor for the $\ensuremath{\gamma}N{N}^{*}$ vertex. This form factor is found to decrease much faster than the elastic nucleon form factors. This implies that the ${N}^{*}$ has a larger spatial extension than the $N$.

RADIATIVE CORRECTIONS TO e+e- REACTIONS TO ALL ORDERS IN a USING THE RENORMALIZATION GROUP*
Renormalization group technique is used to improve the accuracy of the lowest order radiative corrections in QED. The exponentiation of infrared terms comes automatically. It also leads to exponentiation of the vertex functions. It predicts the -existence of conversion of photons into pairs and the result agrees with the Kroll-Wada relation. Kinoshita-Lee-Nauenberg cancellation of mass singularities occurs to all order in Q in leading log approximation in the final state if we sum over all the final states. Higher order corrections to the order o3 asymmetry is shown to be small. The results are used to derive useful formulas for the radiative corrections to processes such zas e+e+ p+p-, e+e--+ ~+~~~, e+e+ hadroqcontinuum, e+eT ---) very narrow ; -resonance such as $, and e+e+ not very narrow resonance such as ZO. .^ -_ .

Addendum to the test of CP violation in Tau decay
We discuss the test of CP and CPT violation in τ decay without using the polarized electron beam by comparing partial fractions of τ− and τ+ decay into channels with strong final state interactions. For example, Γ(τ−→π−+π0+ν)≠Γ(τ+→π++π0+ν) signifies violation of CP. The optimum energy to investigate CP violation in τ decay is discussed. We conclude that this energy is a few MeV below ψ(2s) in order to avoid the charm contribution and over abundance of hadrons at the ψ(2s) peak.

Search for new mechanism of CP violation through tau decay and semileptonic decay at hadrons
If CP is violated in any decay process involving leptons it will signify the existence of a new force (called the X boson) responsible for CP violation that may be the key to understanding matter-antimatter asymmetry in the universe. The author discusses the signatures of CP violation in (1) the decay of tau lepton, and (2) the semileptonic decay of {pi}, K, D, B and t particles by measuring the polarization of the charged lepton in the decay. The author discusses how the coupling constants and their phases of the coupling of the X boson to 9 quark vertices and 3 lepton vertices can be obtained through 12 decay processes.

Pair Production and Bremsstrahlung of Charged Leptons
Photo pair productions of electrons, muons, and heavy leptons and bremsstrahlung of electrons and muons are reviewed. Atomic and nuclear form factors necessary for these calculations are discussed. Straggling of electrons in matter and other sects due to 6nite target thickness are considered. Tables of radiation lengths of all materials and the energy dependence of photon absorption coefFicients of many materials are presented. Problems associated with production of particles by photon and electron beams are also discussed.

Global constraints on effective dark matter interactions: relic density, direct detection, indirect detection, and collider
An effective interaction approach is used to describe the interactions between the spin 0 or spin 1/2 dark matter particle and the degrees of freedom of the standard model. This approach is applicable to those models in which the dark matter particles do not experience the standard-model interactions, e.g., hidden-sector models. We explore the effects of these effective interaction operators on (i) dark matter relic density, (ii) spin-independent and spin-dependent dark matter-nucleon scattering cross sections, (iii) cosmic antiproton and gamma ray fluxes from the galactic halo due to dark matter annihilation, and (iv) monojet and monophoton production plus missing energy at the Tevatron and the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). We combine the experimental data of relic density from WMAP7, spin-independent cross section from XENON100, spin-dependent cross section from XENON10, ZEPLIN-III, and SIMPLE, cosmic antiproton flux from PAMELA, cosmic gamma-ray flux from Fermi-LAT, and the monojet and monophoton data from the Tevatron and the LHC, to put the most comprehensive limits on each effective operator.

Shedding Light on Dark Matter with Fermi LAT Data on Gamma Rays
The Andrzej Soltan Institute for Nuclear Studies, Warsaw, Poland(Dated: September 9, 2009)The diﬀuse Galactic γ–ray data from the region of the Galactic Center has been collected by theLAT instrument on the Fermi Gamma-Ray Space Telescope. In this paper we argue that it may beable to provide an unambiguous evidence of originating, in addition to known astrophysical sources,from dark matter annihilations in the halo, independently of the mass and other properties of thedark matter particle. We also show that the recently released high precision data from mid-latitudesis already providing an upper bound, albeit still a weak one, on the cuspiness of the dark matterdensity proﬁle as a function of the mass of the dark matter assumed to be a stable neutralino ofminimal supersymmetry.I.

Spontaneous R-symmetry Breaking with Multiple Pseudomoduli
We examine generalized O’Raifeartaigh models that feature multiple tree-level flat directions and only contain fields with R-charges 0 or 2. We show that spontaneous R-breaking at up to one-loop order is impossible in such theories. Specifically, we prove that the R-symmetric origin of field space is always a local minimum of the one-loop Coleman-Weinberg potential, generalizing an earlier result for the case of a single flat direction. This result has consequences for phenomenology and helps elucidate the behavior of various models of dynamical SUSY breaking.

Bayesian implications of current LHC supersymmetry and dark matter detection searches for the constrained MSSM
We investigate the impact of recent limits from LHC searches for supersymmetry and from direct and indirect searches for dark matter on global Bayesian inferences of the parameter space of the Constrained Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (CMSSM). In particular we apply recent exclusion limits from the CMS \alpha_T analysis of 1.1/fb of integrated luminosity, the current direct detection dark matter limit from XENON100, as well as recent experimental constraints on \gamma-ray fluxes from dwarf spheroidal satellite galaxies of the Milky Way from the FermiLAT telescope, in addition to updating values for other non-LHC experimental constraints. We extend the range of scanned parameters to include a significant fraction of the focus point/hyperbolic branch region. While we confirm earlier conclusions that at present LHC limits provide the strongest constraints on the model's parameters, we also find that when the uncertainties are not treated in an excessively conservative way, the new bounds from dwarf spheroidal have the power to significantly constrain the focus point/hyperbolic branch region. Their effect is then comparable, if not stronger, to that from XENON100. We further analyze the effects of one-year projected sensitivities on the neutrino flux from the Sun in the 86-string IceCube+DeepCore configuration at the South Pole. We show that data on neutrinos from the Sun, expected for the next few months at IceCube and DeepCore, have the potential to further constrain the same region of parameter space independently of the LHC and can yield additional investigating power for the model.
