We examine W pair production in the Noncommutative Standard Model constructed with the Seiberg-Witten map. Consideration of partial wave unitarity in the reactions WW to WW and e+e- to WW shows that the latter process is more sensitive and that tree-level unitarity is violated when scattering energies are of order a TeV and the noncommutative scale is below about a TeV. We find that WW production at the LHC is not sensitive to scales above the unitarity bounds. WW production in e+e- annihilation, however, provides a good probe of such effects with noncommutative scales below 300-400 GeV being excluded at LEP-II, and the ILC being sensitive to scales up to 10-20 TeV. In addition, we find that the ability to measure the helicity states of the final state W bosons at the ILC provides a diagnostic tool to determine and disentangle the different possible noncommutative contributions.

We study muon pair production $ e^+ e^- to mu^+ mu^-$ in the noncommutative(NC) extension of the standard model using the Seiberg-Witten maps of this to the second order of the noncommutative parameter $Theta_{mu u}$. Using $mathcal{O}(Theta^2)$ Feynman rules, we find the $mathcal{O}(Theta^4)$ cross section(with all other lower order contributions simply cancelled) for the pair production. The momentum dependent $mathcal{O}(Theta^2)$ NC interaction significantly modifies the cross section and angular distributions which are different from the commuting standard model. We study the collider signatures of the space-time noncommutativity at the International Linear Collider(ILC) and find that the process $ e^+ e^- to mu^+ mu^-$ can probe the NC scale $Lambda$ in the range $0.8 - 1.0$ TeV for typical ILC energy ranges.
We study the M{o}ller and Bhabha scattering in the noncommutative extension of the standard model(SM) using the Seiberg-Witten maps of this to first order of the noncommutative parameter $theta_{mu u}$. We look at the angular distribution $dsigma/dOmega$ to explore the noncommutativity of space-time at around $Lambda_{NC} sim$ TeV and find that the distribution deviates significantly from the one obtained from the commutative version of the standard model.
We study the muon pair production $ e^+ e^- to mu^+ mu^-$ in the framework of the non-minimal noncommutative(NC) standard model to the second order of the NC parameter $Theta_{mu u}$. The $mathcal{O}(Theta^2)$ momentum dependent NC interaction significantly modifies the cross section and angular distributions which are different from the standard model. After including the effects of earths rotation we analyse the time-averaged and time dependent observables in detail. The time-averaged azimuthal distribution of the cross section shows siginificant departure from the standard model. We find strong dependence of the total cross section(time- averaged) and their distributions on the orientation of the noncommutative electric vector (${vec{Theta}}_E$). The periodic variation of the total cross-section with time over a day seems to be startling and can be thoroughly probed at the upcoming Linear Collider(LC).
We study cosmological consequences of the noncommutative approach to the standard model. Neglecting the nonminimal coupling of the Higgs field to the curvature, noncommutative corrections to Einsteins equations are present only for inhomogeneous and anisotropic space-times. Considering the nominimal coupling however, we obtain corrections even for background cosmologies. A link with dilatonic gravity as well as chameleon cosmology are briefly discussed, and potential experimental consequences are mentioned.
The possibility of radiative effects induced by the Lorentz and CPT non-invariant interaction term for fermions in the Standard Model Extension is investigated. In particular, electron-positron photo-production and photon emission by electrons and positrons are studied. The rates of these processes are calculated in the Furry picture. It is demonstrated that the rates obtained in the framework of the model adopted strongly depend on the polarization states of the particles involved. As a result, ultra-relativistic particles produced should occupy states with a preferred spin orientation, i.e., photons have the sign of polarization opposite to the sign of the effective potential, while charged particle are preferably in the state with the helicity coinciding with the sign of the effective potential. This leads to evident spatial asymmetries which may have certain consequences observable at high energy accelerators, and in astrophysical and cosmological studies.
