${\cal {O}}(\alpha_s^2)$ QCD corrections to the resonant sneutrino / slepton production at LHC
We present a complete next to next to leading order QCD corrections to the resonant production of sneutrino and charged slepton at the Tevatron and the Large Hadron Collider within the context of R-parity violating supersymmetric model. We have demonstrated the role of NNLO QCD corrections in reducing uncertainties resulting from renormalisation and factorisation scales and thereby making our predictions reliable.

Testing TeV scale quantum gravity using Dijet production at the Tevatron
Dijet production at the Tevatron including effects of virtual exchanges of spin-2 Kaluza-Klein modes in theories with large extra dimensions is considered. The experimental dijet mass and angular distribution are exploited to obtain stringent limits ( > 1.2 TeV) on the effective string scale MS.

Finite tension strings in SU(2) gauge theory
Abstract The second-order field equations of the SU(2) Higgs model are studied and a new class of string solutions is obtained. The tension is finite and scale-dependent and the strings are of minus one unit flux.

GLUONIC CONTRIBUTIONS TO SPIN-DEPENDENT WEAK STRUCTURE FUNCTIONS: METHOD OF FACTORIZATION
We compute the gluonic contributions to the spin-dependent weak structure functions (i=1, 3, 4), using the factorization theorem in the minimal subtraction scheme, . We have considered the most general case where the quark flavor masses are distinguished and the gluons are off mass shell. The gluonic contribution to the first moment of is found to vanish and do not receive leading order gluonic contribution. These results are shown to be free of mass singularities.

Searching for signals of minimal length in extra dimensional models using dilepton production at hadron colliders
Theories of quantum gravity suggest the existence of a minimal length scale. It is interesting to speculate what the consequences of the existence of such a length scale would be for models of large extra dimensions, in particular, the ADD model. When ADD model is conflated with the minimal length scale scenario, processes involving virtual exchange of gravitons cease to be ulraviolet divergent. We study the production of dileptons at hadron colliders as an example of a process mediated by virtual gravitons. We find that the bounds we derive on the effective string scale are significantly different (in fact, less stringent) from those derived in the conventional ADD model, both at the upgraded Tevatron and the large hadron collider.

NNLO QCD corrections to the resonant sneutrino/slepton production at hadron colliders
We present a complete next to next to leading order QCD corrections to the resonant sneutrino and charged slepton production cross sections at hadronic colliders such as the Tevatron and the Large Hadron Collider within the context of R-parity violating supersymmetric model. We have demonstrated the role of these corrections in reducing uncertainties resulting from renormalisation and factorisation scales and thereby making our predictions reliable. We have incorporated soft gluon effects at N 3 LO level in order to study the stability of our results under perturbation. The NNLO corrections are found to be large and significant. The results obtained in this article are also applicable to resonance production of any color-neutral scalar.

Relativistic wave equations: proper Lorentz invariance and invariance under discrete transformations
Considering the standard form i∂ψ/∂t=Hψ [with ψ transforming according to D(0,s)⊕D(s,0)] of wave equations for free particles of arbitrary spin, we determined in a recent paper the admissible forms of H consistent with invariance of the equation under the Poincare group and under T, C, and P. Here we show that even if T and C invariance is not imposed, the admissible Hamiltonians are the same (apart from one extra possibility H = E). Expressed differently, except for the trivial case H = E, invariance of free‐particle equations under the connected Poincare group and P implies T and C also.

Semi-coherent states of the quantum harmonic oscillator
SummaryIt is shown that there exists for the quantum harmonic oscillator a large class of « semi-coherent » states, which represent harmonically oscillating wave packets whose « spread » or « size » remains constant. These states are different from the coherent states in not having the minimum value 1/2ħ for the uncertainty product Δx·Δp.RiassuntoSi dimostra che esiste per l’oscillatore armonico quantistico una grande varietà di stati « semicoerenti », che rappresentano pacchetti d’onde oscillanti armonicamente, la cui « diffusione » o « dimensione » rimane costante.

Evaluation of the density matrix for an ensemble of anharmonic oscillators by a path integral approach
Considering the Feynman path integral representation for the configuration-space density matrix for an ensemble of anharmonic oscillators, we determine the ‘stationary paths’ near which the integrand remains stationary. By taking the path integral to be saturated by contributions from the neighborhood of the path which maximizes the integrand we evaluate the density matrix explicitly in analytic form. This seems to be the first such evaluation of a path integral for a system not describable by a quadratic Hamiltonian. We also comment briefly on the question of analyticity with respect to the perturbation parameter.

Stationary states of a spin-1 particle in a homogeneous magnetic field
We present a simple and complete determination of the energy spectrum and eigenfunctions of a relativistic spin-1 particle with arbitrary magnetic moment in a homogeneous magnetic field. The particle is described by a four-vector field satisfying the usual second-order equation including anomalous-magnetic-moment interaction. In the light of our results and those pertaining to the case when the external field is a Coulomb field, we discuss briefly the question of consistency of the vector theory at the basic c-number level.

On the energy spectra of one-dimensional anharmonic oscillators
In this paper we present explicit and simple analytical formulae for the energy eigenvaluesEn (λ) of one-dimensional anharmonic oscillators characterized by the potentials 1/2mω2x2+λx2α withα=2, 3 and 4. A simple intuitive criterion supplemented by the requirement of correct asymptotic behaviour, has been employed in arriving at the formulae. Our energy values over a wide range ofn andλ are in good agreement with the numerical values computed by earlier workers through very elaborate techniques. To our knowledge this is the first time that formulae of such wide validity have been given. The results for pure power oscillators are trivially obtained by going over to theω→0 limit. Approximate analytic expressions for the low order even moments ofx are also given.
