Applications of dimensional reduction to electroweak and QCD matter

چکیده
This paper is a slightly modified version of the introductory part of a doctoral dissertation also containing the articles hep-ph/0311268, hep-ph/0510375, hep-ph/0512177 and hep-ph/0701250. The thesis discusses effective field theory methods, in particular dimensional reduction, in the context of finite temperature field theory. We first briefly review the formalism of thermal field theory and show how dimensional reduction emerges as the high-temperature limit for static quantities. Then we apply dimensional reduction to two distinct problems, the pressure of electroweak theory and the screening masses of mesonic operators in hot QCD, and point out the similarities. We summarize the results and discuss their validity, while leaving all details to original research articles. E-mail: [email protected]

The role of electroweak penguin and magnetic dipole QCD penguin on hadronic b Quark Decays
This research, works with the effective Hamiltonian and the quark model. Using, the decay rates of matter-antimatter of b quark was investigated. We described the effective Hamiltonian theory which was applied to the calculation of current-current (Q1,2), QCD penguin (Q3,…,6), magnetic dipole (Q8) and electroweak penguin (Q7,…,10) decay rates. The gluonic penguin structure of hadronic decays ...

متن کاملQCD corrections to electroweak processes in an unconventional scheme : application to the b → sγ decay
Abstract: In this work we give a detailed description of a method for the calculation of QCD corrections to electroweak processes in dimensional regularization that does not require any definition of the γ5 matrix in d dimensions. This method appears particularly convenient in order to limit the algebraic complexity of higher order calculations. As an example, we compute the leading logarithmic...

We study the phase diagram of the 3-dimensional SU(2) + adjoint Higgs theory, and investigate to what extent it can be used as an effective theory of the 4-dimensional high-T SU(2) QCD. The relation between the parameters in 4 and 3 dimensions is obtained through dimensional reduction. The high-T (deconfined) QCD phase corresponds to the symmetric phase of the 3-D Higgs theory. In the relevant ...
