By attaching five (complex) anticommuting property coordinates to the four (real) commuting space-time ones, it is possible to accommodate all the known fundamental particles in their three generations. A general relativistic extension to space-time-property can be carried out such that the gauge fields find their place in the space-property sector and the Higgs scalars in the property-property...

Various recent results of new particle searches at the Fermilab Tevatron are presented. No evidence is found for supersymmetric particles (chargino, gluino), leptoquark bosons and heavy gauge bosons in pp̄ collisions at √ s = 1.8 TeV. Excluded mass regions for each particle are determined.

I discuss the importance of the O(g4m2t/M 2 W ) corrections to the effective electroweak angle and MW in the indirect determination of the Higgs mass. I emphasize the rôle of a very preciseMW measurement on the MH estimate. ∗ Talk presented at the Zeuthen Workshop on Elementary Particle Theory ”Loops and Legs in Gauge Theories” Rheinsberg, Germany, April 19-24, 1998

The structure of low-energy supersymmetric models of fundamental particles and interactions is reviewed, with an emphasis on the minimal supersymmetric extension of the Standard Model (MSSM) and some of its variants. Various approaches to the supersymmetry-breaking mechanism are considered. The implications for the phenomenology of Higgs bosons and supersymmetric particles at future colliders a...

We derive compact analytical formulae of the Bonneau-Martin type for the reaction e + e − → ¯ f f γ with cuts on minimal energy and acollinearity of the fermions, where the photons may be emitted both from the initial or final states. Soft photon exponentiation is also taken into account. One of the cleanest scattering processes at elementary particle accelerators is fermion-pair production in ...

One of the major goals of the Large Hadron Collider is to probe the electroweak symmetry breaking mechanism and the generation of the masses of the elementary particles. We review the physics of the Higgs sector in the Standard Model and some of its extensions such as supersymmetric theories and models of extra dimensions. The prospects for discovering the Higgs particles at the LHC and the stu...

T he search for physics beyond the standard model—our current best description of fundamental particles and the interactions between them—is a top priority at high-energy particle accelerators. But researchers are also searching for new physics in the “low-energy” environment of the nucleus through a process known as neutrinoless double-beta (0νββ) decay. This hypothetical decay would show that...

INTRODUCTION Protons, electrons, neutrons, neutrinos and even quarks are often featured in news of scientific discoveries. All of these, and a whole "zoo" of others, are tiny sub-atomic particles too small to be seen even with the microscopes. While molecules and atoms are the basic elements of familiar substances that we can see and feel, we have to "look" within atoms in order to learn about ...
