We analyse high-resolution archival UVES data of turnoff and subgiant stars in the nearby globular cluster NGC 6397 ([Fe/H] = -2). Balmer-profile analyses are performed to derive reddening-free effective temperatures. Due to the limited S/N and uncertainties related to blaze removal, we find the data quality insufficient to exclude the existence of gravitational settling. If the newly derived effective temperatures are taken as a basis for an abundance analysis, the photospheric iron (Fe II) abundance in the turnoff stars is 0.11 dex lower than in the (well-mixed) subgiants.

For points in SUSY parameter space where the sneutrino is lighter than the lightest chargino and next-to-lightest neutralino, its direct mass determination from sneutrino pair production process at e+e- collider is impossible since it decays invisibl
y. In such a scenario the sneutrino can be discovered and its mass determined from measurements of two-body decays of charginos produced in pairs at the ILC. Using the event generator WHIZARD we study the prospects of measuring sneutrino properties in a realistic ILC environment. In our analysis we include beamstrahlung, initial state radiation, a complete account of reducible backgrounds from SM and SUSY processes, and a complete matrix-element calculation of the SUSY signal which encompasses all irreducible background and interference contributions. We also simulate photon induced background processes using exact matrix elements. Radiation effects and the cuts to reduce background strongly modify the edges of the lepton energy spectra from which the sneutrino and chargino mass are determined. We discuss possible approaches to measure the sneutrino mass with optimal precision.
We show that generic $ {bf{10oplus 120oplus {bar {126}}}}$ fits of fermion masses and mixings, using real superpotential couplings but with complex `Higgs fractions leading to complex yukawa couplings in the effective MSSM, emph{overdetermine}(by one
extra constraint) the superpotential parameters of the New Minimal Supersymmetric SO(10) GUTcite{nmsgut}. Therefore fits should properly be done by generating the 24 generic fit parameters from the 23 parameters of the NMSGUT superpotential, given $tanbeta$ as input. Each numerical fit then emph{fully specifies} the parameters of the NMSGUT. An analysis of all its implications, modulo only the residual uncertainty of supersymmetry breaking parameters, is now feasible. Thus the NMSGUT offers the possibility of a confrontation between the scale of gauge unification and the fit to fermion masses due to their extractable common dependence on the NMSGUT parameters. If and when `smoking gun discoveries of Supersymmetry and Proton decay occur they will find the NMSGUT fully vulnerable to falsification.
Using the event generator WHIZARD we study in a realistic ILC environment the prospects of measuring properties of sneutrinos that decay invisibly into the lightest neutralino and the neutrino.
We make a careful analysis of $W^pmgamma$ production at the LHC, identifying the $W^pm$ through leptonic decays, with a view to exploring the sensitivity of the machine to anomalous $CP$-conserving $WWgamma$ interactions. All the available kinematic
variables are used, but we find that the most useful one is the opening angle in the transverse plane between the decay products of the $W^pm$. It is shown that even a simple-minded analysis using this variable can lead to a much greater sensitivity at the LHC than the current constraints on the relevant parameters.
We consider hadronic top quark pair production and pair production in association with a photon or a $Z$ boson to probe electroweak dipole couplings in $tbar{b}W$, $tbar{t}gamma$ and $tbar{t}Z$ interactions. We demonstrate how measurements of these p
rocesses at the 13 TeV LHC can be combined to disentangle and constrain anomalous dipole operators. The construction of cross section ratios allows us to significantly reduce various uncertainties and exploit orthogonal sensitivity between the $tbar{t}gamma$ and $tbar{t}Z$ couplings. In addition, we show that angular correlations in $tbar{t}$ production can be used to constrain the remaining $tbar{b}W$ dipole operator. Our approach yields excellent sensitivity to the anomalous couplings and can be a further step towards precise and direct measurements of the top quark electroweak interactions.
