Unusual initial and final state effects in quantum chromodynamics
A number of fundamental tests were constructed which can be used to probe discrete symmetries, and their possible violations, in the required new physics'' 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[degree], [gamma]* [yields] [tau][sup [minus]] [tau][sup +] [yields] (A[sup [minus]]X)(B[sup +] X). By inclusion of [rho] polarimetry observable such experiments enable two distinct tests for leptonic CP violation in [tau] [yields] [rho][nu] decay by generalization of the energy correlation function for Z[degrees], or [gamma]* [yields] [tau][sup [minus]] [tau][sup +] [yields] ([rho][sup [minus]][nu]) ([rho][sup +][bar [nu]]). Other research programs are (i) continuing to investigate the proposal that partons be identified with nearly degenerate, coherent quark-gluon jet'' states, and are (ii) investigating the novel consequences of q-analogue quantization of quantum fields, and of a completeness relation for the q-analogue coherent states.
