RECENT FOCUS RESULTS ON CHARM MIXING
We present the recent result on CP mixing based on a high statistics photoproduced charm sample collected by the FOCUS experiment. We compare the lifetimes of two neutral D meson decays: D0→K- π+ and D0→K-K+. A mixing parameter for the neutral D system (yCP) is obtained under the assumption that K-π+ is an equal mixture of CP odd and even eigenstates.

Recent Results on CP Lifetime Differences of Neutral D Mesons
The mixing parameter y_cp for the neutral D system can be obtained by comparing the lifetimes of CP eigenstate decays of the D mesons. Recent results on the lifetime differences from the Belle, CLEO, FOCUS(E831) experiments are summarized in this article. The neutral D decay modes analyzed by the experiments are: The D0->Kpi mode with the assumption that it is an equal mixture of CP even and odd eigenstates, and the CP even modes D0->KK and D0->pipi.

A measurement of the polarization asymmetry of the tau lepton using the L3 detector at LEP
With a data sample of e e events collected in the L detector at LEP during we did a measurement of the polarization of leptons as a function of the production polar angle with respect to the incident e beam direction We used the following prong decay channels e e and a As the result we obtained the asymmetries A and Ae Combining this with the previous data measurement by L we ob tained A and Ae These asymmetries gave the ratio of vector to axial vector weak neutral coupling con stants for electrons as g V g e A and for taus as g V g A The numbers are consistent with the hypothesis of e lepton universality Assuming the e neutral current universality the e ective electroweak mixing angle is calculated as sin e w Advisor Professor Aihud Pevsner

Non-Resonance Searches with Lepton
In this contribution, results on non-resonance search with lepton are presented. The searches looking for a single lepton, dilepton, trileptons and quarks as well have been performed and their possible interpretations for each channel are given. The discussion is limited to very recent results presented by ATLAS and CMS collaboration in this symposium.

Regularization parameters for the self-force of a scalar particle in a general orbit about a Schwarzschild black hole
The interaction of a charged particle with its own field results in the "self-force" on the particle, which includes but is more general than the radiation reaction force. In the vicinity of the particle in curved spacetime, one may follow Dirac and split the retarded field of the particle into two parts, (1) the singular source field, \sim q/r, and (2) the regular remainder field. The singular source field exerts no force on the particle, and the self-force is entirely caused by the regular remainder. We describe an elementary multipole decomposition of the singular source field which allows for the calculation of the self-force on a scalar-charged particle orbiting a Schwarzschild black hole.

Light Higgs Scenario in BMSSM and LEP Precision Data
In this Letter we consider very light Higgs fields in BMSSM(Beyond MSSM). The spectrum below TeV scale is the same as the MSSM but the Higgs potential is modified and is well described in terms of effective dimension five and six operators. A correction from the BMSSM operators allows us to consider new parameter space of Higgs sector which is not allowed in the MSSM. It can be regarded as a constrained version of general 2 Higgs doublet model (2HDM) as long as Higgs sector is concerned. We focus on the possibility that CP odd Higgs (A) mass is about 7 or 8 GeV and charged Higgs mass is comparable to W mass. At the same time one of the CP even Higgs (h) is light enough such that h and A production at the Z pole is kinematically allowed. The tension between forward backward asymmetry of bottom quark Ab_FB measured at LEP and the Standard Model prediction can be ameliorated if bottom quark pair produced from light CP even Higgs is taken into account.

Pseudo scalar contributions to light-by-light correction of muon g−2 in AdS/QCD
Abstract We have performed a holographic calculation of the hadronic contributions to the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon, using the gauge/gravity duality. As a gravity dual model of QCD with three light flavors, we study a U ( 3 ) L × U ( 3 ) R flavor gauge theory in the five-dimensional AdS background with a hard-wall cutoff. The anomalous (electromagnetic) form factors for the pseudo scalars, π 0 , η and η ′ , are obtained from the 5D Chern–Simons term of the gravity dual, which correctly reproduce the asymptotic behavior of the form factor, dictated by QCD. We find the total light-by-light contributions of pseudo scalars to the muon anomalous magnetic moment, a μ PS = 10.7 × 10 − 10 , which is consistent with previous estimates, based on other approaches.

Distinguishing dark matter stabilization symmetries using multiple kinematic edges and cusps
We emphasize that the stabilizing symmetry for dark matter (DM) particles does not have to be the commonly used parity (Z{sub 2}) symmetry. We therefore examine the potential of the colliders to distinguish models with parity stabilized DM from models in which the DM is stabilized by other symmetries. We often take the latter to be a Z{sub 3} symmetry for illustration. We focus on signatures where a single particle, charged under the DM stabilization symmetry decays into the DM and standard model (SM) particles. Such a Z{sub 3}-charged mother particle can decay into one or two DM particles along with the same SM particles. This can be contrasted with the decay of a Z{sub 2}-charged mother particle, where only one DM particle appears. Thus, if the intermediate particles in these decay chains are off-shell, then the reconstructed invariant mass of the SM particles exhibits two kinematic edges for the Z{sub 3} case but only one for the Z{sub 2} case. For the case of on-shell intermediate particles, distinguishing the two symmetries requires more than the kinematic edges. In this case, we note that certain decay chain topologies of the mother particle which are present for the Z{sub 3} casemore » (but absent for the Z{sub 2} case) generate a cusp in the invariant mass distribution of the SM particles. We demonstrate that this cusp is generally invariant of the various spin configurations. We further apply these techniques within the context of explicit models.« less
