Within the superfield approach, we discuss the two-dimensional noncommutative super-QED. Its all-order finiteness is explicitly shown.

Effective potential for a SUSY Lee–Wick model: The Wess–Zumino case
Using a superfield generalization of the tadpole method, we study the one-loop effective potential for a Wess–Zumino model modified by a higher derivative term, inspired by the Lee–Wick model. The one-loop Kahlerian potential is also obtained by other methods and compared with the effective potential.

Horava-Lifshitz-like extensions of supersymmetric theories
Within the superfield approach, we formulate two different extensions of the Wess-Zumino model and super-QED with Horava-Lifshitz-like additive terms, discuss their quantum properties and calculate lower contributions to the effective action. In the case of the gauge theory, the one-loop effective potential turns out to be gauge independent.

Lorentz violation and the proper-time method
Abstract In this Letter, we apply the proper-time method to generate the Lorentz-violating Chern–Simons terms in the four-dimensional Yang–Mills and non-linearized gravity theories. It is shown that the coefficient of the induced Chern–Simons term is finite but regularization dependent.

Free energy of Lorentz-violating QED at high temperature
In this paper we study the one- and two-loop contribution to the free energy in QED with Lorentz symmetry breaking introduced via constant CPT-even Lorentz-breaking parameters at the high temperature limit. We find the impact of the Lorentz-violating term for the free energy and carry out a numerical estimation for the Lorentz-breaking parameter.

Equivalence between supersymmetric self-dual and Maxwell–Chern–Simons models coupled to a matter spinor superfield
Abstract We study the duality of the supersymmetric self-dual and Maxwell–Chern–Simons theories coupled to a fermionic matter superfield, using a master action. This approach evades the difficulties inherent to the quartic couplings that appear when matter is represented by a scalar superfield. The price is that the spinorial matter superfield represents a unusual supersymmetric multiplet, whose main physical properties we also discuss.

Spectator effects and lifetimes of heavy hadrons
We present a calculation of subleading 1/m{sub b} corrections to spectator effects in the ratios of beauty hadron lifetimes in heavy-quark expansion. We find that these effects are sizable and should be taken into account in systematic analyses of heavy hadron lifetimes. In particular, the inclusion of 1/m{sub b} corrections brings into agreement the theoretical predictions and experimental observations of the ratio of lifetimes of {lambda}{sub b} baryon and B{sub d} meson. We obtain {tau}(B{sub u})/{tau}(B{sub d})=1.06{+-}0.02, {tau}(B{sub s})/{tau}(B{sub d})=1.00{+-}0.01, {tau}({lambda}{sub b})/{tau}(B{sub d})=0.86{+-}0.05.

X(3872) in effective field theory
We consider the implications from the possibility that the recently observed state X(3872) is a meson‐antimeson molecule. We write an effective Lagrangian consistent with the heavy‐quark and chiral symmetries needed to describe X(3872) and study its properties.

Hadronic D and D(s) Meson Decays
We provide a comprehensive review of hadronic decays of D and D_s mesons. We discuss current theoretical and experimental challenges and successes in understanding of hadronic transitions of those mesons. A brief overview of the theoretical and experimental tools are given before discussing the absolute branching fractions for D and D_s mesons. Cabibbo suppressed and rare hadronic decays are discussed and compared with theory before discussing our understanding of hadronic multibody decays.

Hybrid Charmonium Production in NRQCD
Using the operator product expansion and nonrelativistic QCD we study the production of charmonium hybrids in B decays. We express the decay rate in terms of a few matrix elements which eventually will be fixed by experimental measurements or calculated on the lattice. While the Fock state expansion is problematic for hybrids, the operator product expansion still provides a model independent framework for phenomenological calculations of hybrid production and decay. We then use a simple flux tube model to estimate the branching ratio B -> psi_g+X, where psi_g is a J^{PC}=0^{+-} hybrid, the large production of which could help resolve the low charm multiplicity observed in B decays.

Constraining New Physics from D0-anti-D0 mixing
I review constraints on possible New Physics interactions from D0-anti-D0 mixing measurements. I consider the most general low energy effective Hamiltonian and include leading order QCD running of effective operators. I discuss constraints from an extensive list of popular New Physics models, each of which could be discovered at the LHC, that can generate these operators. In most of the scenarios, strong constraints that surpass those from other search techniques could be placed on the allowed parameter space using the existent evidence for observation of D-meson mixing.
