چکیده
The top quark is well known for the nondecoupling effects it implies in ρ and Rb. The recent experimental Rb data exhibits a disagreement with the SM prediction at more than the 3σ level. It is tempting to explore whether this might be due to nondecoupling New Physics effects, opposite to those of the top. We investigate this issue in the context of models with an extra family of right or left handed, singlet or doublet quarks. It is shown that, contrary to what one might naively expect, the nondecoupling properties of a mirror t′ do not have an impact on Rb, due to a conspiracy of the mixing angles, imposed by the requirement that there be no b b′ mixing. Our analysis agrees with an analysis performed independently, which includes this model as a particular case.

We compute analytically the effects of energy conservation on the self-similar structure of parton correlations in QCD jets. The calculations are performed both in the constant and running coupling cases. It is shown that the corrections are phenomenologically sizeable. On a theoretical ground, energy conservation constraints preserve the scaling properties of correlations in QCD jets beyond th...

Sufficient conditions for the relation tanβ ≃ m t /m b to hold in supersym-metric grand unified theories are formulated. Essential ingredients are the SU(2) R gauge symmetry and a discrete matter parity. The applicability of our conditions is illustrated by specific examples. Implications for neutrino masses are discussed.
