Unusual initial and final state effects in quantum chromodynamics. Annual progress report, December 18, 1992--December 20, 1993
The author has constructed a number of fundamental tests which can be used to probe discrete symmetries, and their possible violations, in the required {open_quotes}new physics{close_quotes} beyond the standard model. On-going experiments with unpolarized e{sup {minus}} e{sup +} collisions contain many events for the production-decay sequence e{sup {minus}}e{sup +} {yields} Z{sup o}, {gamma}{sup *} {yields} {tau}{sup {minus}}{tau}{sup +} {yields} (A{sup {minus}}X)(B{sup +}X). By inclusion of {rho} polarimetry observables such experiments enable two distinct tests for leptonic CP violation in {tau} {yields} {rho}{nu} decay (similarly in {tau} {yields} a{sub 1}{nu} decay) by generalization of the energy correlation function for Z{sup o}, or {gamma}{sup *} {yields} {tau}{sup {minus}}{tau}{sup +} {yields}({rho}{sup {minus}}{nu})({rho}{sup +}{bar {nu}}). In other research programs, the author is (i) continuing to investigate the proposal that partons be identified with nearly degenerate, coherent quark-gluon {open_quotes}jet{close_quotes} states, and is (ii) investigating the novel consequences of the possible existence of q-bosons and of a related completeness relation for the q-analogue coherent states. This year the author has also written papers on the zeros of the q-analogue exponential function, and on the number and phase uncertainties of the q-analogue quantized field.
