A Measurement of the Michel Parameters in Leptonic Decays of the Tau
We have measured the spectral shape Michel parameters {rho} and {eta} using leptonic decays of the {tau}, recorded by the CLEO II detector. Assuming e-{mu} universality, we find {rho}{sub e{mu}}= 0.735 {+-} 0.013 {+-} 0.008 and {eta}{sub e{mu}} = 0.015 {+-} 0.061 {+-} 0.062, where the first error is statistical and the second systematic.

Polarization of prompt J/ in proton-proton collisions at RHIC
Within the framework of the nonrelativistic QCD (NRQCD) factorization approach, we compute the polarization of prompt J/{psi} produced at the Brookhaven's Relativistic Heavy-Ion Collider from proton-proton collisions at the center-of-momentum energy {radical}(s)=200 GeV. The perturbative contributions are computed at leading order in the strong coupling constant. The prediction reveals that the color-singlet contribution severely underestimates the PHENIX preliminary data for the differential cross section integrated over the rapidity range |y|<0.35 and its contribution is strongly transversely polarized, which disagrees with the PHENIX preliminary data. After including the color-octet contributions, we find that the NRQCD predictions for both the cross section and polarization over the transverse-momentum range 1.5 GeV<p{sub T}<5 GeV (1.5 GeV<p{sub T}<2 GeV) integrated over the rapidity range |y|<0.35 (1.2<|y|<2.2) agree with the data within errors.

Exclusive heavy quarkonium + γ production from e+e-annihilation into a virtual photon
We compute the cross section for exclusive production of a photon associated with a heavy quarkonium H of charge-conjugation parity C=+1 from e{sup +}e{sup -} annihilation into a virtual photon at the center-of-momentum energy {radical}(s)=10.58 GeV. The nonrelativistic QCD factorization formulas for the differential and total cross sections are obtained at leading order in the strong coupling and in the relative velocity of the heavy quark in the quarkonium rest frame. The predicted cross sections for the S-wave spin-singlet cases are about 80 fb and 50 fb for H={eta}{sub c} and {eta}{sub c}(2S), respectively. Among P-wave spin-triplet charmonia, {chi}{sub c1} has a particularly large cross section of about 14 fb. The cross sections for bottomonium states {eta}{sub b} and {chi}{sub bJ} are about 3 fb. A rough estimate of the background reveals that the signal significances for charmonium processes are sufficiently large enough to be detected with ease with the integrated luminosities available at the present B factories.

Background electromagnetic fields and nonrelativistic QED matching: Scalar case
The low-energy structure of hadrons can be described systematically using effective field theory, and the parameters of the effective theory can be determined from lattice QCD computations. Recent work, however, points to inconsistencies between the background field method in lattice QCD and effective field theory matching conditions. We show that the background field problem necessitates inclusion of operators related by equations of motion. In the presence of time-dependent electromagnetic fields, for example, such operators modify Green's functions, thereby complicating the isolation of hadronic parameters which enter on-shell scattering amplitudes. The particularly simple case of a scalar hadron coupled to uniform electromagnetic fields is investigated in detail. At the level of the relativistic effective theory, operators related by equations of motion are demonstrated to be innocuous. The same result does not hold in the non-relativistic effective theory, and inconsistencies in matching are resolved by carefully treating operators related by equations of motion. As uniform external fields potentially allow for surface terms, the problem is additionally analyzed on a torus where such terms are absent. Finite-size corrections are derived for charged scalar correlation functions in uniform electric fields as a useful byproduct.

Constraints on R parity and B violating couplings in gauge-mediated supersymmetry breaking models
Abstract We consider the proton decay involving a light gravitino or axino in gauge-mediated supersymmetry breaking models to derive constraints on the R parity and baryon number violating Yukawa couplings. Bounds on all nine coupling constants are obtained by considering the decay amplitudes at one-loop order.

Constraints on the R-parity and lepton flavor violating couplings from B0 decays to two charged leptons
We derive the upper bounds on certain products of R-parity- and lepton-flavor-violating couplings from the decays of the neutral $B$ meson into two charged leptons. These modes of $B^0$ decays can constrain the product combinations of the couplings with one or more heavy generation indices. We find that most of these bounds are stronger than the previous ones.

A Possible Common Origin of the Top Forward-backward Asymmetry and the CDF Dijet Resonance
A color-singlet neutral vector boson is considered as a possible common origin of the top forward-backward asymmetry and the CDF dijet resonance. We identify chiral and flavor structures of the couplings of this new vector boson to the standard model quarks for which one could accommodate both data. We also demonstrate that non-vanishing observables involving longitudinal top polarizations can provide useful criteria for the possible existence of parity violating new physics in the q q^bar -> t t^bar process, and discrimination between the flavor-conserving and flavor-violating cases.
