We calculate one-loop radiative QCD corrections to the three polarized and unpolarized structure functions that determine the beam-quark polar angle dependence of the alignment (or longitudinal) polarization of light and heavy quarks produced in e^+e^- annihilations. We present analytical and numerical results for the alignment polarization and its polar angle dependence. We discuss in some detail the zero-mass limit of our results and the role of the anomalous spin-flip contributions to the polarization observables in the zero-mass limit. Our discussion includes transverse and longitudinal beam polarization effects.
We calculate the longitudinal contribution to the alignment polarization $Pl$ of quarks produced in $e^+e^-$ annihilation. In the Standard Model, the longitudinal alignment polarization vanishes at the Born term level and thus receives its first non-
zero contribution from the $O(as)$ tree graph process. We provide analytical and numerical results for the longitudinal alignment polarization of massless and massive quarks, in particular for the recently discovered top quark.
We compute the supersymmetric QCD corrections to the polarization and the spin correlations of top quarks produced above threshold in e+e- collisions, taking into account arbitrary longitudinal polarization of the initial beams.
We compute the inclusive unpolarized dihadron production cross section in the far from back-to-back region of $e^+ e^-$ annihilation in leading order pQCD using existing fragmentation function fits and standard collinear factorization, focusing on th
e large transverse momentum region where transverse momentum is comparable to the hard scale (the center-of-mass energy). We compare with standard transverse-momentum-dependent (TMD) fragmentation function-based predictions intended for the small transverse momentum region with the aim of testing the expectation that the two types of calculation roughly coincide at intermediate transverse momentum. We find significant tension, within the intermediate transverse momentum region, between calculations done with existing non-perturbative TMD fragmentation functions and collinear factorization calculations if the center-of-mass energy is not extremely large. We argue that $e^+ e^-$ measurements are ideal for resolving this tension and exploring the large-to-small transverse momentum transition, given the typically larger hard scales ($gtrsim 10$ GeV) of the process as compared with similar scenarios that arise in semi-inclusive deep inelastic scattering and fixed-target Drell-Yan measurements.
We examine the processes $e^+ e^-longrightarrow W^+ W^-$ and $Z^0 Z^0$ in the context of the $SP(6)_Lotimes U(1)_Y$ model. We find that there are significant deviations in the total cross sections $sigma (s)$ from the standard model results due to th
e presence of additional gauge bosons $Z^prime$ and $W^prime$ in the model. These deviations could be detected at LEP.
Bose-Einstein correlations of pairs of identical charged pions produced in hadronic Z decays are analyzed for both two- and three-jet events. A parametrization suggested by the tau-model is used to investigate the dependence of the Bose-Einstein corr
elation function on track multiplicity, number of jets, and transverse momentum.
