Résumé:

We compare the logarithmic Sudakov expansions of the process e+e- --> W+W- in the one-loop approximation and in the resummed version, to subleading order accuracy, in the SM case and in a light SUSY scenario for the MSSM. We show that the two expansions are essentially identical below 1 TeV, but differ drastically at higher (2,3 TeV) center of mass energies. Starting from these conclusions, we argue that a complete one-loop calculation in the energy region below 1 TeV does not seem to need extra two-loop corrections, in spite of the relatively large size of the one-loop effects.

Résumé:

We evaluate systematically some new contributions of the QCD scalar mesons, including radiative decay-productions, not considered with a better attention until now in the evaluation of the hadronic contributions to the muon anomaly. The sum of the scalar contributions to be added to the existing Standard Model predictions a_mu^{SM} are estimated in units 10^{-10} to be a^{S}_mu= 1.0(0.6) [TH based]} and 13(11) [ PDG based], where the errors are dominated by the ones from the experimental widths of these scalar mesons. PDG based results suggest that the value of a_mu^{SM} and its errors might have been underestimated in previous works. The inclusion of these new effects leads to a perfect agreement (< 1.1\sigma) of the measured value a^{exp}_mu and a_mu^{SM} from tau-decay and implies a (1.5 ~ 3.3) sigma discrepancy between a^{exp}_mu and a_mu^{SM} from e^+e^- into hadrons data. More refined unbiased estimates of a_mu^{SM} require improved measurements of the scalar meson masses and widths. The impact of our results to a_mu^{SM} is summarized in the conclusions.

Résumé:

We consider the high energy behaviour of the amplitudes for pair production of charged leptons, quarks, Higgs bosons, sleptons, squarks and charginos at lepton colliders. We give the general expressions of the leading quadratic and subleading linear logarithms that appear at the one loop level, and derive the corresponding resummed expansions to underlinesubleading logarithmic order accuracy. Under the assumption of a relatively light SUSY scenario and choosing the MSSM as a specific model, we compare the predictions of the one-loop and of the resummed expansions at variable energy. We show that the two predictions are very close in the one TeV regime, but drastically differ in the few (2,3) TeV range.

Résumé:

In the first part of this report, I discuss the sociological role of fundamental research in Developing Countries (DC) and how to realize this program. In the second part, I give a brief and elementary introduction to the field of high-energy physics (HEP), accessible to a large audience not necessary physicists. The aim of this report is to make piliticians and financial bakers aware oon the long-term usefulness of fundamental research in DC and on the possible globalisation of HEP and, in general, of science.

Résumé:

We consider the production, at future lepton colliders, of charged Higgs pairs in supersymmetric models. Assuming a relatively light SUSY scenario, and working in the MSSM, we show that, for c.m. energies in the one TeV range, a one-loop logarithmic Sudakov expansion that includes an "effective" next-to subleading order term is adequate to the expected level of experimental accuracy. We consider then the coefficient of the linear (subleading) SUSY Sudakov logarithm and the SUSY next to subleading term of the expansion and show that their dependence on the supersymmetric parameters of the model is drastically different. In particular the coefficient of the SUSY logarithm is only dependent on $\tan\beta$ while the next to subleading term depends on a larger set of SUSY parameters. This would allow to extract from the data separate informations and tests of the model.

Résumé:

Considering a NFW halo of M 31 made of neutralinos, predictions for the \x{03B3} fluxes are computed for different sets of SUSY parameters using the DarkSuspect MC simulation [1] [2]. Then they are compared with the efficiency of CELESTE Cerenkov telescope [3] which has a threshold energy of 30 GeV.

Résumé:

We summarize the different features of the scalar mesons from QCD spectral sum rule analyses of the two- and three-point functions. The results do not favour the u-bar u + d-bar d interpretation of the broad and low mass sigma (0.6), and the u-bar s resonance nature of the eventually observed kappa(0.9) meson. We also discuss some OZI-violating and classic semileptonic and radiative decay processes which can reveal in a model-independent way the eventual gluon component sigma_B of the sigma. In a meson-gluonium mixing scenario, one also expects an observation of the K K-bar final states from the sigma_B which may compete (if phase space allowed) with the one from a low mass s-bar s state assumed in the literature to be the SU(3) partner of the $\sigma (0.6)$ if this latter is a u-bar u + d-bar d state
