Résumé:

For superpartner masses not much heavier than the weak scale $M=M_{\rm W}$, large logarithmic corrections of the Sudakov type arise at TeV energies. In this paper we summarize recent results of supersymmetric (susy) electroweak radiative corrections for sfermion and charged Higgs production at $e^+e^-$ colliders in the MSSM. The results are given to subleading logarithmic (SL) accuracy to all orders in perturbation theory in the ``light'' susy-mass scenario. Prospects for the determination of $\tan \beta \geq 10$ are discussed which is independent of soft susy-breaking terms to SL accuracy.

Résumé:

This book provides a pedagogical introduction to the perturbative and non-perturbative aspects of quantum chromodynamics (QCD). Introducing the basic theory and recent advances in QCD, it also reviews the historical development of the subject up to the present day, covering pre-QCD ideas of strong interactions such as the quark and parton models, the notion of colours and the S-matrix approach. The author then discusses gauge theory, techniques of dimensional regularisation and renormalisation, deep inelastic scattering and hard processes in hadron collisions, hadron jets and e+e- annihilations. Other topics include power corrections and the technologies of the Shifman-Vainshtein-Zakharov operating product expansion. The final parts of the book are devoted to modern non-perturbative approaches to QCD and the phenomenological aspects of QCD spectral sum rules. The book will be a valuable reference for graduate students and researchers in high-energy particle and nuclear physics, both theoretical and experimental.

Résumé:

It is widely believed that dark matter exists within galaxies and clusters of galaxies. Under the assumption that this dark matter is composed of the lightest, stable supersymmetric particle, assumed to be the neutralino, the feasibility of its indirect detection via observations of a diffuse gamma-ray signal due to neutralino annihilation within M31 is examined.

Résumé:

Using Dimensional Regularization (DR) for some two-point functions of a prototype Non-Comutative (NC) \phi^4 scalar theory in 4-dimensions, we explictly analyze, to one-loop, the IR and UV divergences of non-planar diagrams having quadratic divergences and compare to the case of the Pauli-Villars cut-off regularization (PVR). We also note that the IR structure 1/p0p obtained from DR is reproduced by PVR in the limit where the UV cut-off \Lambda is set to infinity. We study the phenomenological implications of this result by rederiving bounds from low-energy data on the violation of Lorentz invariance based on the existence of the quadratic divergence. The most stringent (and regularization independent) bound on Lorentz violation from low-energy data is 1/\sqrt{\theta}\approx \nu\geq 10^{15} GeV for NCQCD and 10^{10} GeV for NCQED, which comes from the absence of sidereal variations between the Cs and Hg atomic clocks.

Résumé:

The distant globular cluster Palomar 13 has been found to have a very high mass-to-light ratio. Its profile can be well fitted either by using a King model with a tail, or by a NFW model [1]. This cluster may be the first case of the many clumps predicted by CDM simulations that would not be disrupted by the galactic halo potential. We assume that Pal 13 is made of neutralinos and we run the DarkSuspect code for five benchmark models. This code allows to estimate the gamma-ray flux produced in annihilations of neutralinos. These fluxes may be used as targets to be reached in proposals for future ground-based high altitude Cerenkov telescopes.

Résumé:

We summarize the different features which show that QCD spectral sum rule analyses of the scalar two- and three-point functions do not favour the $\bar uu+\bar dd$ interpretation of the broad and low mass $\sigma (0.6)$ and emphasize that a measurement of the $D_s$ semileptonic decays into $\pi\pi$ can reveal in a model-independent way its eventual gluon component $\sigma_B$. The analysis also implies that one expects an observation of the $K\bar K$ final states from the $\sigma_B$ which may compete (if phase space allowed) with the one from a low mass $\bar ss$ state assumed in the literature to be the SU(3) partner of the observed $\sigma (0.6)$ if the latter is a $\bar uu+\bar dd$ state

Résumé:

Microlensing searches aim to detect compact halo dark matter via its gravitational lensing effect on stars within the Large Magellanic Cloud. The most recent results have led to the claim that roughly one fifth of the galactic halo dark matter may be in the form of compact, solar-mass objects. We analyze this hypothesis by considering the goodness-of-fit of the best-fit halo dark matter solutions to the observational data. We show that the distribution of the durations of the observed microlensing events is narrower than that expected to result from a standard halo lens population at 90 to 95% confidence. Only when the fraction of expected background (non-halo) events is significantly increased does the discrepancy between the observed and theoretical event duration distributions disappear. This indicates that it is possible that most of the lenses responsible for the observed microlensing events are not located within the Milky Way halo.
