Foreword : The organizers of the Kazimierz Conference have asked me for astatus report on the UA1 Collaboration. 1 can only select a few topics whichreflect my personal tastes.The reader should also be warned that many numbers presented in the textreflect the present preliminary status of the analysis at the time of writing ;those numbers are likely to change in the next weeks or months due to changesin selection criteria. For final numbers one should refer to the papers whichshould be published in the future and not to conference talks.
As many results are not final yet the presentations are reflecting againpersonal choices and not the opinion of the whole UA1 collaboration.
Writing this talk up, I find it difficult to avoid personal biases. 1 hopethe reader and my collaborators will understand and accept this choice.
totraductwm
Last year out of the analysis of about 100 nb accumulated at / T = 540
CeV by each experiment, both the UA2 and UA1 collaborations have presented
exciting results, which might open new perspectives to physics (ref. 1,2). After
the runs taken in 1934, 'the total integrated luminosity available has tripled.
in this talk I review the few topics of major interest with a (persenad
emphasis on whether new phenomena can still be claimed.
Outline
1. W, Z* decays and production
2. Monojets
3. Dimuons
4. Search for top.
1. W, Z* dtcaiyt awd production
1. Electron and rouon channels
The selection of W—>e V and Z°—> e+ e" is summarized in taMe I and
the corresponding selection for the muon channels is shown in table 2.
Fig.l shows the distribution of the observed e for the VI- —» e »»
candidates.
The expected cross-sections presented in taMe 3 show good agreement of
both UAI and UA2 experiments with the standard V-A theory. Once the
relative efficiencies are taken into account, the electron and muon channels
give similar results in agreet.ient with the lepton universality of weak current.
10
2. Backgrounds to W, 2*
TaWe • fives the number ol expected backgrounds and their source with
the selection criteria given in tabie 1. To estimate the background we use a
mixed event Monte Carlo, using the real W—*ev events. The W four vector is
reconstructed.
We remove the electron track and shower from the event and replace it
with a lake V A decay, with a four momentum equal to the reconstructed one.
The tl, 2° decay products are then passed through the complete detector
simulation and reconstruction procedure and overlayed onto the "electron
substracted" event.
In this approach, the real underlying event is used and there is no
ambiguity about the jet activity and the Pj spectrum of the W.
3. »,. 2" mass
Whtte the mass of the 2* can be obtained by a fit to the reconstructed
effective masses oi the dilepton pairs (e+ e~ or p* u~), the * mass is obtained
from a fit to the mass of the e (JJ) and transverse missing E - .
In order to reduce the errors due to background and improve the
Jacobean peaks, we use an enhanced irar»verse mass distribution and apply
tighter fiducial cuts. (Fig.2)-
The results are given in table 5 together with the newly calculated
values fw sin* | ^ and * which are m extremely good agreement with the
standard model.
0. OCp and
The developments in the resummation of soft gluons allow more precise
calculations in QC0.
However many parameters contribute ( A , the shape of the parton
distribution, non tending terms, and the choice of the scale at which to
normalize ^ ) . which still lead to an error in the normalization.
For example the probability for producing a W with p T y 2% CeV is
between 3% and 6% (ref. 3) and it is difficult to be more precise with the
existing method* of calculation*. However we now have a large sample of W
which can be used to constraint the theoretical predictions.
11
In Fig-3 is shown the distribution of PT (W) for all events compared to
the calculations of Altarelli et a l 3 . For PT<»')>10 GeV, all W's have
reconstructed jets. The number of jets with E-j. y. 5 GeV is compatible with
QCD expectations (ftg.4). Their angular distributions is also in good agreement
with bremsstrahlung of spin 1 objects.
From a total integrated luminosity of ^13 nb~ , there is no evidence for
the production of an object X with mass M x > 170 GeV/c, decaying into * +
jets.
For M > 170 CeV/c', r ' B ( X » - V * ietS-> > 0.02 (90% C Dx «-.B <W-»e V )
5. Z* activity
3et activity in the Z" events is also compatible with QCD expectation
(Fig.5). There is no evidence for anomalous Z* activity.
Also there has been no new Z°—> )* 1 "*• event observed for a total oi
2S Z'. It becomes more likely that the events of this kind reported lest year
have come from internal bremsstrahlunj (ref. *,Ji).

In the analysis of the 136 * " ' of the i'982 and 19S3 runs, a few candidates
were found and reported earlier this year (ref. TV Table 4 jives the jeneral
features of the event selection.
The most important background at lower missing ET comes from 2 jets
events which fluctuate in the caiorirnetry and are reconstructed with missi^
enercy.
The sample jet of five 1 branch candidates and four 3 branch candidates
show distributions in ET, asymmetry, transverse mass and invariant mass
compatible with a X hypothesis -tFif-6 abctf). The CD information is crucial and
effective in reducing the estimated number of background events gf the bijet

candidates can be a good electron. Fig.7 fafccde) show the "hadronic" properties
of the tracks compared to a W<-*«*? sample.

%e conclude there is evidence for * - ^ t V , t -—>• one charged track.
The expected branching ratio for * — > t V compared to W—»eV is 0.96 -
0.45 in agreement with the universality of weak current. For details, cf. ref. 7.
With increased statistics and an improved trigger we expect to observe
more W-»1rV events from the latest 198<( run.
This is a part of a more general monojet study.
2. Monojctt
Last year UAi reported a few events with very large missing transverse
energy and a single jet which still lack a clear explanation (ref. 2).
An improved missing ET trigger was implemented during the 1984 run.

An exact calculation is difficult. Whenever possible we try to use the
oat* itself a* input for Monte Carlo (cf mixed MC method described above).
I cannot jive final numbers yet in this report but :
i) Heavy flavours yield a non negligible contribution to large missing tj
phenomena when they undergo a semileptonic decay.

the charged pion leaks out as a u). We expect <, 0-OU events for the whole
statistics. At the end of 1985, with a new run, we should be able to leli ii
more events like A appear again indicating new physics, or ruing it out.
Difficulties
1) The normalisation is not easy to undertake since factors of 2 cannot
be calculated exactly in QCD but are important in this study. We have to reiy
on other UA1 measured data such as low P_ dimuons, and internal consistency
between the 3V and *•" samples.
2) We don't know if the top exists (althrough there migiit be indications
from the data) and which mass it has. The cross-section for top production
varies rapidly as M" (top) and we don't know well the top lragmentation. This
can yield very large differences in estimates.
3. DJmuons
a) Sources of dirr.uons
1) Z°—> u+ \i , Dreii Yan events, 3/^ and T decays yield opposite signs,
isolated muons, which can be identified and separated by the reconstructed
effective mass M (u+p~).
2) Semileptonic decays of heavy flavours produced either directly by QCD or
via W, Z° decays give opposite sign but also same sign dimuons, and on the
whole the muons are accompanied by hadrons and not isolated.
i) BB mixing analogous to K° - K°;r;xing are an additional source of same sign
cimuons. The observed B lifetime and T1 (b—» u)/ T (b —> c) constraint the
Kobayashi-Maskawa matrix. One expects small B^ and large B° mixing.
b) The- tools which help us in distinguishing between all those processes
are
1. The charge of the muons
2. Hadronic activity around the'muons
3. Mass of the muon pair
it. Mass of pp jet-jet system
5. N(- -)/N {+ -) is a measure of mixing
6. Strange particle content
c) Selection
With the 108 nb atVs~= WO GeV accumulated in 1983, we indeed
Observed dimuons of different possible sources as reported in ref. S. With an
additional 270 nb at Vs~ = 630 GeV in 19S<t, we confirm the observation of
dimuons. TaWc 7 gives the latest event selection of dimuons which yields 221
validated dimuons. F»g.$ shows their reconstructed effective mass. There is a
clean separation between Z° —+v*v pairs (1C events) and lower mass dimuons
(1J50 p V , 62 M : P1)-
d-) background sources of dimuons.
1) Punchthrough. There are about 9 interaction lengths of iron around the
detector, so' the probability of punch through is small, about 10 per hadron.
2) Leakage have bad matching with the CD track; there are also additional bits

in the muon chambers. From test beam results, we expect about 10 probabi-
3) ft, K decays are the largest sources of background. The probability for decay
in flight in the Central Detector is 0.02/ PT per "K1 and 0.11/ PT per K-. *'e
assume 50 % *K- and 25 % K-, therefore about 4 10" /P T per charged hadron.
Low PT K ~ H J V can simulate a high momentum track due to bending by the
magnetic field. This background is estimated, using the sample of single
M Py> 3 GeV. All hadronic tracks with P . > 3 CeV/c are "decayed" into a muon.
The apparatus simulation and the reconstruction programs are used to provide
the expected background which reconstructed effective mass are shown in
FIR.3.
For Muu > 6 GeV/cJ, one would expect 25 events and above 12 GeV/cJ, 8
events. U we use the isolation criteria described below, the numbers are
reduced to 6 and 2, respectively.
e) Isolation criteria
In Figure 10 a, is shown the sum oi the energy deposited in the
calorimeter cells in a cone of £>+. i=\l£^<ix * £>f*") of 0.7 around the direct;on
of the muon. The solid curve is the same sum around a random direction in
minimum bias events.
In Figure 10 b, is shown what we expect for muons from serm-
leptonic bottom or charm decay.Thus we are led to a restrictive definition of an isolated muon. for which(in A * < 0.7)2LET>3 GeV. .For events with two muons, we have defined the quantity
S = (£ET 1)» « (S.ET 2) !
Taking pairs of muons at random trom the 28 *—> uV events, we get thedistribution for S shown in Figure II.82 % of the isolated events would pass a cut at S <,, 9 <GeV)'. This is what weuse to separate isolated dimuons from non isolated ones.In Figure 12, the dimuon masses are shown for the four classes of events.
f) Classification of events (details are given in ref. 9).1) Isolated opposite sign diipuons
These can come from Drell Yan, *T" and heavy flavour processes.We estimate a cross section T D Y (Muu > 11 GeV/c*) - 26*- 1G4 pb, tocompare with the theoretical prediction oi 290 pb (rei. 3).
f * r -\ - I ? ± 4

2) Non isolated candidates from heavy flavours.
In Figure 13 is shown the mass of the system of 2 muons + 2 closest jets for
the 161 non isolated events, and expectations for bb, cc. Note that for the
moment the Eurojet Monte Carlo which is used (ref. 10) has no underlying
event, no smearing in the energy deposited by the muon and large uncertainties
in the fragmentation of the heavy quarks.
The bb - cc expectations seem to fit quite well the data, giving
an estimated cross-section V (pp • OQ ) = 1.3 - 0.1 - 0.2 jib for
PT(Q) > 5 GeV/c and | rj (Q)j< 2.
li we include the isolated events, <T (p(T—»Q^) = 1.1 - 0.1 - 0.2 ub.
An additional source of same sign dimuon events is due to B-£ mixing. Muons
are opposite in azimuth, leading particles from^first generation decay.
The u*u* should be accompanied with ft, K°, while the u~u~ events have 7?, "R?
The calculated ratio R = s a m e ** - O.«5 - 0.11 is not incompatible withopposite sign
expectation fpr full mixing. However those are preliminary results.

7 events fall into this category, out of which 3 were reported
previously (ref. $). There are no obvious explanations for those events. We are
studying the effects cri changes in Monte Carlo and contributions from tt .
») Lepton + m%
Last year UA1 reported a clear signal for the production of an isolated
large pT Septon accompanied with 2 or 3 jets. The events clustered around the
W mass and could not be interpretated in terms of expectations from known
quark decays (c, b) but were in agreement with a »' — ^ tb* process with a
semileptonic decay of the top <ref. 11).
The 198ft u sample is under study and still cannot be reported upon atthis time.
1) Selection of e* iets
The samples of 1983 • 19S« wirh an integrated luminosity of 390nb were processed. After a first level selection, asking for
- 2 electromagnetic Cells with E.T > 1 j GeV- 1 high momcnturr: good quality track with p T > 7 GeV., projeciea leng'.i. i-KvJ30 cm, and a number of points above- 2C- CP track well matched in x and ^ with the electromBgnetir duster i < ."> 0" !

Deiining a jet as a cluster of calorimetric ceils with E». > S GeV. there are2 events with 0 jet. 28 with I )et,9 with 2 jets.ft with more titan 2 Jets.
A muon - icts selection is under progress and no report can bt yet given at thissiage-
2) Background estimates
1) A selection of isolated « - ( n. *K* ) - jets was done, yielding 2.3 - 0.5/ l.J -0.2/ I - 0.2 events which could simulate an electron for the 2S/9/^ e • jets
events.2) A selection of isolated 7C° * jets is used to compare the shape of thedistributions with the selected e~ 2 >ets sample. In Figure 1», are shown themass plots M ( % ° or e, V • nearest 3et) versus M ( IT " or e, 9 , both jets).
The probability ior both distributions to be compatible is about S.5 10 .Cos 6* (nearest jet) Vs Ei?UL las defined in Figure 15 are shown in Figure 15 b.
The compatibility is 3.5 10 .
3) Beauty and charm pair production by QCD processes (pp—>bb~ or cc) canprovide high p». iepton • 2 jets.
The Eurojet Monte Carlo is used to calculate the contribution of theseprocesses, since it reproduces well the single rnuon and dinnuon cross-sections.The lepton in a top decay is isolated, whiie it is not in a beauty or charmdeca\. Furthermore the distributions in cos & and E j for the QQg processeswould be more forward peaked, different from the observed events.
3) Interpretation
Both W —>tb and pp —> tt where a top decays semileptonically would be goodcandidates for explanation of the 12 events (electron - 2 jets).The even; rate is consistent and both kinematic behaviours, smirred by theresolution af the detector are very close, and it is difficult to distinguishbetween tne two sources. The large number of e + single jet would favour alower mass top (around 30 GeV). The analysis is still in progress and it is tooearly TO conclude yet on the existence of a top signal and on its mass.
Conclusion
On all the topics presented in this talk, again a word of warning : theanalysis are under progress and nor finai.
However, the 1SS* data do not reproduce the few non-standard eventswhich jumped out from the 1983 analysis. Statistical fluctuations or realphysics ? By the end of 1985, with more statistics to come, we should becapable to answer thai question.
In the mean time we have gained understanding on many fundamentalissues, witnessed a revival of OCD explaining the behaviour of jets associatedto * and Z° production. While »', Z° were a signal in themselves in 1983, theyhave become a background to substract .in the search for new physics.
An understanding of heavy flavour production and fragmentation iscrucial before new physics can be extracted. This is being done.
Final results should be published very soon.

1. INTRODUCTION
The discovery of tin Intermediate Vector Bosons (IVB), Bade in 1983-by the UA1 and UA2 experiments l)j) at the CERN pp Collider, was a greatsuccess for the Veinberg-SalaB-Glashow unified aodel (GSW) of the weakand electroa*gnetic interactions, SU(2)L«U(1)
>}. The UA2 collaboration
has already reported *"' that the data available at the end of 1983 onthe following processes:
p + p •* If* + anything• •* + v(?) and
p + p •* Z* + anything-• e* + e"
were aestly is agreement with the predictions of SU(3)C*SU(2)L*U(1)(Standard Model). The data were collected in the period 1981-1983(/s « 546 GeV) and corresponded to a total integrated luminosity* - 142 no"1.
lovever, tha data presented SOB* feature* that, with Unitedstatistics. Bight have suggested the existence of unexpected phenaeena.Mamly :
1) a Z* * e'e'T was observed in a kineatatical configurationhaving a low probability for internal breasstrahlung";
ii) . 3 events, interpreted asp + p • V + hari jat(a), » + «v
were found salikely in teraa of a QCD description of the Vproduction Mechanise)*'.
These results, together with the observation of unexpected events byUA1'), have been at the origin of various theoretical speculationssaggestlag maw physics phsnoaens beyoad the Itaadard Modal.
The suksequaat Collider roaning period-, which took place at tha endof 19t4 at higer C M . « U 0 (/a » 630 GeV), was clearly expected toshed sore light on thaae issuaa.
la addition a precise test of the standard model and in particular
of the GSV model, was of great importance and required better
statistical errors on the IVB Basses.
In this paper we present an analysis'1* of the 19S3+1984 data
sample corresponding to a total integrated luminosity £ — 452 nb"1.
Cross-sections are calculated separately for thn 198A data at /s = 630
GeV and the previous data at /s = 546 GeV., The results on f.he IVB's
production cross sections and transverse momentum distributions together
with the VT" charge asymmetry and the 2' width are compared with the GSV
model predictions. The masses of the IVB's, measured usia^ the full
data sample (1983+1984 ), are also reported together with the
determination ot sin'6^., p and of the electroweak radiative corrections.
All the results reported are final unless otherwise is
2. THE UA2 DETECTOK
The UA2 experimental apparatus has been described in detail
elsewhere . Fig. 1 shows a scheicacic view of its longitudinal
cross-section in a plane containing the beam axis. Theie is complete
cylindrical symmetry in azimuth (•), while in polar angle fB) one can
distinguish two regions :
- The central region (40° < 0 < 140°) is covered by a highly segmented,
tower structured electromagnetic and hadionic calorimeter. 'The 240 cells
of the central calorimeter point to the interaction point.
- The two forward regions (20° < B < 37.5° and 142.5° < £ < 160°) havs
been instruaentsd with the ai» of seasuring the forward-backward charge
asymmetry of r decays. They are equipped with 24 (12 on each side)
identical magnetic spectrometers. followed by electromagnetic
calorimeters. In front of both the central and the forward
calorimeters, preshowex counter's guarantee an accurate localisation of
electromagnetic showers to improve the identification of electrons
against background.
32
Stringent efforts were Bade in order to keep the energy resolution
and calibration under control . There are two effects that reduce the
electromagnetic calorimeter response with time:
a) aging ~5% year ;
b) radiations damage (only during the Collider ruiinninj periods)
-15S year "1.
The response is monitored using light Xenon fiashers (to follow
short-term tiase dependences), C o " sources and measurements of energy
flew using minimum bias JSp events. Cell to cell variations of the
calorijnete.r response are known to o=±2.5%. The recalibration of sone
towers on a test bean shows that the uncertainty on the absolute energy
scale is +1.6%.
3. DATA TAKING
Triggers sensitive to high p~ electrons are constructed from
calorimeter phototube (PM) signals with gains proportional to transverse
energy.
Electronagnetic showers nay span across adjacent calorimeter
c«lls. Trigger thresholds were therefore applied to linear sues of
signals from 2 x 2 cell matrices. In the central calorimeter, all
possible 2 x 2 natrices were constructed; in the forward ones only
conbinations in a given sector were considered.
There ar& two triggers sensitive to electrons in UA2 :
- The "tf-trigger", for which the signal from at least one matrix must
exceed a threshold set at 10 GeV,
- the "Z-trigger", for which the signals from at least two matrices,
separated by nore than 60° in azimuth, must exceed 4.5 GeV.
To suppress background from sources other than p"p collisions, a
coincidence with two signals from hodoscopes at 0.47° < 8 < 2.84s on
both sides of the collision point was required. These hodoscopes were
part of an experiment to measure the pp total cross section*^. Their
efficiency to non-diffractive J>p interactions was estimated to be at
least 9S%.

4. TOE H i C I W I ANALYSIS
Figure 2 shows a schematic representation of the signature ofvarious particlas or sjwtamm of particlas in the UA2 apparatus. Shows inthe figure is tha transverse cross section of a quadrant of the centraldetector. The forward detectors present similar features vita theadditional Baasoraaant of the track aoaaattai.
There are distinctive characteristics of different particles la eachcoaponeat of the 0*2 detectoc :

Therefore, the identification of hiah a,, electcon ia based om thefollowias criteria :
1. the presence of a localised cluster of energy deposition In thefirst compartment of the calorimeters, with mt aost « smallenergy leakage in the hadronic compartment;
2. the presence of a reconstructed. charged particle track whichpoints to the energy cluster. The pattern of energy depositionmost agree with that expected tram an isolated electronincident along the track direction;
3. the presence of a signal in the p'reshover counter, theamplitude of which Mist' be larger than that of a ainiaua<<w<sfag particle. The geometrical Matching of the preshowerhit with the projection of the track mist be consistent withthe space resolution of the counter itself. These features arecharacteristic of a high energy electron starting a shower inthe preshower coaster.
In practice, because of the different instroBentation is the centraland forward regions, these criteria are applied in different ways in thetwo detectors.
•stalls e* the electron identification, together with theirefficiency to detect electrons, are presented In Table la for thecentral region and Table Ib for toe forward ones. An exhaustivedescription of the cuts is given in previous 042 publications**^.
It timid be noted that moat of the applied selection criteria aresatisfied only by Isolated electrons : the detection of high pyelectron* contained in a Jet of high Pj particles is excluded by thepresent analysis.
Electrons Cram photon conversions are r Jawed by requiring a hit is•t least one of the two iamermoet chambers of the vertex detector.Furthermore, la the forward detectors the electron candidate is rejectee!if tt i* f imnisnied by another track of opposite sign at an axiawthalseparation smaller than 90 ar.

5. TOE EXECTBOW SAMPLE
In order to reduce the amount of data to be processed in the r
•and Z analyses presented at this Conference, a fast filter has been
applied to the total event saaple.
1. For the W-triggers, it required the presence In the event of an
electron-like energy deposition in the calorimeter (i.e. a
duster of cells with snail leakage in the hadronic coapaxtaent
and saall radios). The transverse energy deposited in the
electroaagnetie coapsrtaent E-"" was required to exceed IS GeV.
In addition the event was required to have a total energy
imbalance in the transverse plane of at least 13 GeV.
2. For the Z-triggars, events were accepted only if at least two
electron-like clusters, vith aziauthal separation of at least
60*, exceeded Ej"" > 4.5 GeV, such that their total uaas was
greater than 30 GeV/c1.
Of the total rabax of - 2 10' V and Z triggers, - 1.2 • 10*
reaain after the filter cuts. These cats, although very effective in
reducing the data seaple to be analysed, introduce biases which Bake the
background estiaate somewhat uncertain for p_e < 17 GcV/c or
H M < 3C GeV/c1. the analysis of the total data saaple is in progress,
but the results presented here are only concerned with events satisfying
pj.e > 17 GeV/c or H ^ > 30 GeV/c*.
After applying the electron cuts we are left with a total of 290
electron candidates with PT* > 17 GeV/c. The Pj* distribution is shown
in Fig. 3. Candidates with Hj.* > 25 SeV/c obtained by the V and 2
analyses are indicated'in the figure.
36
6. TOPOLOGY OF TtE EVENTS KITH AH ELECTROS CANDIDATE
The sample of 290 electron candidates presented in Fig. 3 contains,in addition to real electrons, fake electrons coning froo Bisidentifiedhigh Pj hadrons or jets of hadrons. Depending on whether the electronis real or fake we expect that the event contains either another high pjleptoa (e or v) or another jet of high ptj. hadrons at approximatelyopposite azimuth.
In order to study the topology of the events with an electroncandidate we search for high pj jets using the jet finding algorithm
described in detail elsewhere11^. We consider the jet activity atopposite azimuth to the electron candidate in a 120s wedge. We definethe quantity
where the SOB extends to all jets having an aziouthal separation64 > 120* to the electron candidate and pj. > 3 GeV/c.
Ha tben split the sample of events with an electron candidate in :
a) Events with p < 0.2 : this sample contains W •+ ev.The • cut is estimated to be (91 ± 3)2 efficient, where theerror reflects the uncertainty of the Monte Carlo simulation oflow energy jets. --
b) Events with • > 0.2 : this sample includes the Z* * e'a"sample. It is dominated by two-jet background with one jet•isidcatified am an electron and is used to estimate thebackground contamination to the W-saople.

7. THE V •* ev SAMPLE
The total nuaber of V-triggers passing the electron filter cute is
• - 1.1 • 10*. After applying the electron identification criteria the
ssople reduces to 257 events, 130 of which satisfy » < 0.2.
The p-* distribution of these avents is shown in Fig. 4. There are
67 events (71 in the central region and 16 in the forward ones) with
Pj.* > 25 BeV/c. The background for Oy* > 25 GeV/c is estinated to be
9.0 ± 0.B events. The ^'distribution of Fig. 4 shows a clear Jacobiaa
peak at Pj* - 40 GeV/c, a distinctive feature of V -» ev decays. Other
physics processes also contribute to the electron saaple. In additioa to
the background, sham as a dashed line in the figure, we estimate a
contribution of 3.t 1 0.9 events fiesi Z* •» «*«" decays in which one
electron ic not detected and 2.1 1 0.2 events froei W -» tv, i •* ev9, for
the event saaple satisfying Hj* > 25 GeV/e.
The solid curve ia fig. 4 is the Py" distribatiaa expected once all
the contributions to the electrca saaplc are taken into account.

To calculate d^n/dpj* d»t we have usad :
- structure functions froa Gluck «t al.11' to generate the p^distribution
- fixed V width *t tv * 3.0 GeV/c1.
- the decay angular distribution expected for the standard V-A couplingof V to f•rations.The detector energy resolution is taken into account.
- the p_W distribution of Altarelli et «l. l > )
Th« best fit to tfce experimental distribution is obtained with
Hy « »0.S ±1.1 (stat.) GeV/c*
The quoted aass differ froa that quoted pr«li«inarly J) , since a aorerecent and final analysis which is being prepared for publication tras-nsed: is particular the event wit py' » 60 GeV/c has beeo excluded froathe sass fit because does not pass the cuts in the final analysis.
Ve have also fitted the saae two diaensional distribution of asaaple obtained vith stricter electro* cuts, which has such saallerbackground contaBination, and ve find the saae value for the V Bassindicating, as expected, that the fit is not sensitive to the low p^*
part of the spectra. The fit is doalnated, instead, by the high pj.*region, which is sensitive to the topology cut (•__ < 0.2).
To check that the effect of the » o p - cat is correctly taken intoaccount in our Hoote Carlo simulation* we have fitted the transverse•ass distribution of the V saaple. Which has been shown by Honte Carlosimulation to be insensitive to the » cut. Me quote the final value:
My » Sl.l ± 1.1 (stat.) 1 1.3 (syst.) GaV/c*
in perfect agreement with the one obtained with the fit to the (Pj*. 8()distrihotion.
7.3 Forward-Backward Charge Asy—etry
The helicity state of the 5 and q forming the W Is pp interactions
•is defined by the V-A coupling. As a result the W is procuded with full
polarisation in the direction of the p beaa. Similarly the V-A coupling
determines the helicity of the decay products of the V. As a result a
distinctive forward-backward as; jmetry of the charge lepton anst be
observed in the decay V •» ev (Fig. 7). In the V rest frane the angular
distribution of the charged lepton is expected to be of the forst
fr- - (1-q cosB*)1
dcosB*
vhere q is the charga of the lepton and • is the angle between the
charged lepton and the direction of the incident proton. The UA2
experiment is equipped with Magnetic spectrometers in the angular region
20* < 9 < 37.5* and 142.5* < • < 160*. where the sensitivity to the
charge asymmetry is expected to be higher.
There are 30 W candidates with pj," > 20 GeV/c in . the forward
spectrometers, with an estimated background of - 1 event. Their
distribution in the (p"'1, £"*) plane, where p is the electron momentum
with the sign of (q • coce*Iab), is shown in Fig. 8.
The final measured asymmetry is
'V)}/Mtoi: " °"43
where M * (M_~) is the number of positrons (electrons) on the proton
(aatiproton) side, i.e. the right asymmetry, and equivalently for
The measured value of a is in good agreement with the expected
asymmetry
a « 0.53 ± 0.06
where th« effects of the background, of the V * t •• e decs; chain and of
the Z* «v«nt* with only one electron detected have been taken into
account.
6. THE Z' •* e'e' SAMPLE
In the 1984 run - 1.1 • 10' Z-triggers have been recorded, of which
- 1.5 • 10* passed the filter selection described in section 4.
From this sample we keep only the events which contain at least two
energy clusters passing the calorimeter electron cuts described in Table
I.
Although the calorimeter cuts applied are not very strict only
111 events remain with a mass of the two electron-like clusters H g e
greater than 30 GeV/c*. The Mee distribution is shown in Fig. 9a and
shows that 11 events have a M e e > SO GeV/c2 with an estimated background
of — 1 event. After requiring that at least one of the two clusters
satisfies all the electron selection criteria the sample reduces to
IS events. Fig. 9b shows their H M distribution, where one can see that
6 events have Hee > 80 GeV/c* and no event is in the region
42 < Mee < 80 GeV/c*.
Using a sample of two-jet events, we estimate an upper limit of less
than 0.15 events as a background under the Z° peak.
Tox a precise assessment of the sample of the 7 events with
B e e < 42 GeV/c1 it is necessary to study the spectrum et lower mass
values, in order to establish the background level in this region. This
study has not been performed yet, because the event distributions in
this region are biased by the requirement M > 30 GeV/c1.
42
R.I Th« 2' • eeT decay aode
As already Mentioned in the Introduction, one event of the type
•Z* "* sT was observed by UA2 in the data taken in 1983. The probability
thf Internal breasstrahlung can jive rise to such, or less probable
configuration is 1.4%. Therefore we expected a total of N , = 0.11
events of this kind in the 1983 Z' data sample to come from standard
processes.
No such event has been observed in the 1984 data, giving a global
expectation of Neey =0.22 events.
It sbouirl be pointed out that configurations where the opening angle
between the electron and the photon is less than 20° in 8 or 30° in •
are not detected by the UA2 apparatus.
8.2 The Z* mass and width
The total UA2 sample of events with two electrons of invariant mass
H > 50 GeV/c* is shown in Fig. 10. It amounts to a total of 16 events,
8 at a •.. = 546 GeV2' and 8 at /s = 630 GeV, corresponding to an
integrated luminosity 1 = 452 nb~*. The masses of the events taken at
/s = 546 GeV have been very slightly modified with respect to the values
published in Ref. 2 after a recalibration of some calorimeter modules in
a test beam.
All events have M ^ > 80 GeV/c2, where the background is less than
0.Z events.
The final result on the Z' mass is
Mzo = 92.5 ± 1.3(stat.) ± 1.5Csyst.) GeV/c=
where the systematic error accounts for the 1.61 global energy
uncertainty of the calorimeter response. The masses of the individual
events are distributed around M,a as shown in Fig. 11. The 3 events
indicated with an asterisk in the figure are events D, G and H of Ref. 2
which have not been used in the Z* mass evaluation for' the reasons
explained there.
The same event sample has been nsed to fit a value for the width of
the Z", P.. Given the low statistics of the sample available, several
statistical estimators of a Breit-Wigner fit to the data have been
studied. Ve quote
rz < 3.3 GeV/c1 at 90% C.L. (1)
Ve can obtain an independent estimate of T- within the standard
model from the relation *
w & w • ev A it ee
where
R = o_e / Ou = 0.136Z tf -o.o34
as a weighted average of the cross sections at the two centre of mass
energies. The error on R is statistical only, the systematics cancelling
out.
Using the value ru • 2.56 GeV/c2 and th« structure function
paraaetrization from fief. 16, we calculate
l"z » 2.12 ^'^9 (stat.) * 0.21 (syst.) GeV/c2 (2)
and rz < 3.0*40.31 GcV/c* at 90X confidence level, in good agreement
with (1).
Within the fr—work of the Standard Model, we can cooper* tha
•easured value of Tz to the axpactad one to extract the nuaber of
additional light neutrinos expected. Fro* (2) we find:
44
< 2. 5+ 1.7 at 90% C.L.
9. W* AND Z' Pr-DISTRIBUTIQHS
9.1 The V" pf-distribution
± c
The VT" analysis described in the previous sections discarded events
for which a significant amount of transverse energy was detected at
opposite azimuth to the electron candidate (the P o p p cut described in
secton 6).
In the case of the VT pt distribution, a different analysis wasperformed * , releasing the p cut and asking instead for a missing
p v > 25. GeV/c. The results reported in section 9 are still
preliminary. The V transverse momentum p,,, can be evaluated from the
momenta of all other particles or jets of particles observed in the
event in addition to the electron candidate such that
where the sun extends over all the observed jets (pt > 3 GeV/c), P tS p »•
the total transverse momentum carried by the system of all other
particles (spectators) not belonging to jets, and € is a correction
factor which takes into account the incomplete detection of the rest of
the event (? = 2.2±0.5 for the BA2 detector " ^
In the resulting sample of 128 events (83484 data) ve have found
31 events (shown in Fig. 12 with dashed lines), for which the ev pair is
produced in association with a jet or a systas of jets with transverse
energy exceeding 5 G«V. These events have been interpreted in terms of
associated production of Vr+jet(s).
The 1983 data had given hope for sign of new physics beyond the
standard nodal (events A to C 4 O : the 1964 data add three events is
the region ptV>30 GeV ( events E to S ), but the distribution for the
fulj data saaple shows a satisfactory agreement with QCD " ^ (the /s
dependence has been ignored). Therefore the interpretation of events A
to G in terms of standard physics has become more likely.
For the mean value of p t W we find <ptW>=8.5±0.6 GeV/c, including
events A to G which contribute to the highest ptV values; excluding
those events we get a mean value of <Ptu>=6-8±0.4 GeV/c.
9.2 The Z' p^-distribution
The inset of Fig. 12 shows the distribution of the transverse
momentum of the Z°, p t Z > with a mean value of <ptZ>=5.8± 1.0 GeV/c. Also
in this case we have a good agreement with the QCD prediction of Ref 16.
10. IVB PRODUCTION CROSS SECTIONS
10.1 The V* cross-section
The cross section for the process p + p •* V~ + anything followed by
the decay V -* «v is calculated as
otfe » Ny6 / zs n
where Ntfe is the observed number of W -" ev decays, s is the overall
efficiency of th« electron selection criteria, 2 is the integrated
luminosity and n is the detector acceptance.
Ve us* the 87 events with Pj.* > 25 GeV/c for which the acceptance is
H - 0.65. The overall efficiency is t « t • « c u t s = 0.66 ± 0.05.
After subtracting contributions from cha background, from Z' decays, with
on* electron undetected and from the decoy (W •• tw, T -» ev9), we
calculate (final result):
526 ± 6ACstat.) ± 49 (syst.)
for the M~ inclusive production of cross section at /s = 630 GeV times
branching ratio into ev.
An independent analysis based on data from a trigger selecting
events with missing transverse energy gives
owe(630) = 590 + 90(stat.) pb
in good agreement with the result of the electron analysis.
We have recalculated the cross-section for V production at
/s = 546 GeV*', taking into account a new measurement of the total pp
cross-section'' which implies an integrated luminosity of 142 nb"1
instead of 131 nb'1 as used in Ref.2 .
The result is
otf*(546). = 494 ± 90 (stat.) ± 46 (syst.) pb
The cross section ratio at the two collider energies is :
R = o(630) / o(546) = 1.06 ± 0.23
where most systenatic errors cancel.
All the measured values are is agreement with QCD predictions"' :
o (546 GeV) = 360ZX\Q pb
o (630 GeV) = 460 g g pb
R = 1.26
10.2 The Z" cross-section
We use the 8 events with Mee > 80 GeV/c2 to calculate the Z*
production cross-section at Vs = 630 GeV tines branching ratio into
e*e". Five events have both leptons in the central region, where the
efficiency to detect such a pair with the cuts described in the previous
section is 865 and the acceptance is 0.34. For the remaining 3 events,
in central-forward configuration, the efficiency is 89%, while the
acceptance is 0.19.
For en integrated luminosity of 310 nb"1 we find (final result):
O2'(630) = 52 ± 9 (stat.) ± 4 (syst.) pb
This result is in agreement with a theoretical expectation of
As was done for the W, the cross section at •s = 546 GeV has been
recalculated :
02ee(546) = 101 ± 39 (stat.) ± 9 (syst.) pb.
The theoretical calculation from Kef. 15 gives 4 2 ^ | pb.
In Fig. 13 the results on the IVB cross-sections at different v's
are coapared with the predictions of Kef.16.
11. THE WEAK MIXING ANGLE
From the measured values Mu = 81.1 ±1.1 ±1.3 GeV/c* and
•Mz = 92.5 ± 1.3 ± 1.5 ( obtained in the final analysis ) we can extract
a value for sin3By following the definition of Sir1in lj)r
111.1] sin 4^ = sin2ew(qJ=M2
w) = 1-M»W/MS2
This definition is appropriate in the standard nodel with p = 1 (p is
the relative strengbt between the neutral and charged coupling constants
) as inplied by the Higgs doublet mechanism2*'. From an experimental
point of view [11.1] is also appropriate because it depends only on the
IVB physical masses and is insensitive to the theoretical details:
moreover it is also insensitive to the experimental systematic error on
the absolute energy calibration. We obtain:
[11.2] sina8w « 0.23 ± 0.03 (stat.)
Using the standard models predictions for the V~ and Z° masses we
obtain two additional useful relationship for sin J8 u1 1»»»»«) :
[11.3] sin»Bw =(38.65/^)'
[11.4] sialty - <77.30/MI)i
From the experimental point of view the relationships (11.3] and
[11.4] are less sensitive to the statistical error on the mass
determination but are affected by a systematic error. Weighting the
results from [11.3] and [11.4] we obtain the average:
[11.S] sin*6w - 0.227 ± 0.005 ± 0.008 .
Both measurements agree well within the errors. Given the present
statistics the measurement obtained from [11.1] still has a large
statistical uncertainty. On the contrary, the value [11.5] obtained
from the "model dependent" relationships is such more precise, the
uncertainty being already dominated by the systematic error on the
absolute mass scale.
The UA2 measurements of sin*8.. agree with all the previous results
obtained in atomic and neutrino experiments, once one has applied the
appropriate corrections to the low energy data *• . The data are shown
in Fig. 14. The agreement between results obtained in different
reactions and over many order of magnitude of q2 provides a strong
confirmation of the electroweak part of the standard model.
12. THE p PARAMETER
Using the definition:
[12-1] P = H*tf
[12.2] p = 0.99 ± 0.04* 0.01
in agreement with the low energy v(5)N measurements p = 1.01+0.02 li' .
13. THE RADIATIVE CORRECTIONS
The standard aodel with three families and minimal Higgs structure
(one Higgs doublet) predicts for the radiative corrections:
tI3.ll Ar - l- 1
[13.2) Ar = l-ftio
50
where (following Sirlin, Harciano and other "'i''*0)) <x=a(qs=0),
sin28w=sin28uCq2=M2
w), and G is the Fermi constant obtained from the
u lifetime measurement including the electromagnetic corrections of
- order a.
In addition, using the definition [I1 J we obtain a third
relationship:
[13.3] Ar U A 2 = 1-(TO//2G F) * (M*w * (l-H^/M^))" 1
depending only by the IVB physical masses.
Using the relationship [13.3] we obtain:
[13.5] ArUA2 = °"09 ± °'10 ± °"03
Fig. IS illustrates the result [13.5]. Using the relationships [13.1]
and [13.2] tog-ether with sins8K= 0.22O±0.O08 from the low energy v
data" we obtain:
[13.6] Ar = 0.048 ± 0.034 + 0.030
Both determination* of Ar are consistent within the errors with
the prediction of the theory Ar=0.0696±0.0020 *"'
14. CONCLUSIONS
The results of the analysis of the 1984 data (fa » 636 GeV)
do not confirm the indications of new physics of the 1983 data
(<£ - 546 GeV).
The valued of the IVJ masses, of sin w , of the ratio £
between the charged and neutral weak current strengths and the
width of the Z", all agree with the predictions of the ninioal
SU(2)xlI(l) model; also the measurement of the radiative correc-
tion agrees, within the large error, with the theory.
The existing measurements of the IVB production cross-sections
and transverse momentum distributions are as expected from QCD
calculations.

ABSTRACT
Data on the jet cross-sections at </s = 630 GeV are
compared with those obtained at /s = 546 GeV. The
agreement between the experimental results and the
QCD prediction is good. Results on a search for an
enhancement in the jet-jet invariant mass around
150 GeV are presented. A preliminary snalvsis on
nulti-jet events is also reported.

1. INTRODUCTION
The study of hadron-hadron interactions is pp collisions at very
high energy gave us the opportunity to test predictions of the strong
interaction theory, the Quantum-Chromo-Dynamics (QCD), at short
distances . In fact one of the most outstanding benefits of the very
successful operation of the CERN pp collider1' is the possibility for
detailed measurements of hadronic jet production and their fragmentation
properties in an energy domain where hard processes can be separated
clearly froa the soft hadronic interactions''7'.
During 1984 the SPS Collider operated at an increased energy of
•/s = 630 GeV where jet production cross sections are expected to be
larger. The results are reported in this article which is organized in
the following way: In section 1 we discuss the data taking and the data
reduction. Section 2 is devoted to the study of the jet production
cross-sections and their comparisons with Vs = 546 GeV data and QCD
predictions. In section 3 we present new data on a search for a
possible enhancement in the jet-jet invariant mass distribution around
is.. = 150 GeV while section 4 is devoted to a multi-jet study providing
the possibility of a measurement of the strong coupling constant a ,
followed by the conclusions.
2. DATA TAKING AMD REDUCTION
The UA2 detector has been described in detail elsewhere* . It
consists of a vertex detector for measuring particle trajectories in a
region without magnetic field, surrounded by a highly segmented
electromagnetic and hadronic calorimeter (central calorimeter) which
covers polar angles 40* 5 6 S 140* (-1 £ t £ 1J and the full a2imuthal
angle. The central caloriaeter consists of 240 cells each covering 15*
in i and 10' in 8 and built in a tower structure pointing to the centre
of tl.a interaction region. The cells are mechanically arranged in 24
azimuthal slices (called orange slices) each covering 15*. The forward
regions (20° £ fl S 37.5* and 142.5 £ 8 £ 1601) are each instrumented
67
with twelve toroidal Magnet sectors followed by drift chambers and
electromagnetic calorimeters.
The results presented hera were obtained with the central
caloriaeter only and were recorded during the 1984 CERN pp collider run
at /s = 630 GeV.
Three different triggers were used, all of thea selecting pp
collisions which deposited large transverse energy into the central
caloriaeter:
1. two-jet trigger: the total transverse energies in any four
consecutive azimuthal slices and eight azinuthal slices
opposite in $ had to exceed both a given threshold (typically
18 GeV),
2. single-jet trigger: the total transverse energy deposited in
any eight consecutive aziauthal slices had to ex-.eed a given
threshold (typically 30 GeV),
3. total trarisverse energy trigger: the total tranverse energy
collected is the central calorimeter was required to exceed a
threshold, normally set at about 60 GeV, except for special low
threshold data runs.
Background fros sources other than pp collisions was supprcs'.,•••* at
the trigger level requiring a coincidence of the trigger conditions
previously described with two signals ("aisiaus bias" trigger) obtained
froa scintillatoi arrays covering an angular range 0.44' £ S S 2.84' oa
both sides of the collision region*', the total integrated luminosity
accumulated was If * « 310 nb"1. An uncertainty of ± 6 X t*as estimated
for it dt froa tha observed fluctuations during different naming
conditions and froa tha overall uncertainty in the cross-section
accepted by tha "minimum-bias" trigger.
Ik» events collected include a saall background contamination.
Beaa halo particles cam either satisfy the triggering conditions
68
directly or appear as an accidental overlap with a "minimum-bias" pp
interaction. The background events exhibit a characteristic pattern in
the detector different fron a genuine event. They are rejected from the
data sample if any of the following conditions is satisfied:
1. if they are associated with an early signal in the smtll angle
scintillator arrays,
2. if they have an abnormally large total transverse energy
fraction in the hadronic compartments (more than 60% in the
second one or more than 95% in both together),
3. if they contain only one cluster (see below) with more than 90%
of its energy in the hadronic compartments.
These requirements reduce the background contamination in the data
sample to less than 2% and the loss of good events due to the cuts is
negligible (< 3%).
A straightforward clustering algorithm which takes advantage of the
fine granularity of the calorimeter segmentation has been adopted1* .
All cells which share a common side and have a cell energy
Kce,j > 400 MeV are joined into a cluster. Ihe jet direction is
measured from the centroid of the associated cluster with respect to the
centre of the interaction region. In each event the clusters are
ordered in decreasing transverse energies denoted by
E* T > E*T > E'T > ... The individual clusters are taken massless,
equating therefore p— = E_. Actually by attributing a zero-mass
•oaentua vector (p =•= E) to each cell which participates to a cluster,
one observes a mean "invariant cluster nass" of 9 GeV for a cluster
having tj. > 30 GeV. This value results froa the combined effects of
shower and cell sizes and of actual jet masses, and it is in agreement
with Honte Carlo a isolations").

3. INCmSIVE JET PRODUCTION CROSS-SECTIONS
We studied the inclusive jet production cross-sections:
(1) pp -» jet + X at n = 0
(2) Pp • jett + jet» + X within |n| < 0.85
using data from the single-jet and the two-jet triggers, respectively.
In order to partly account for final state gluon radisi.,on, the jet
momentur vector is modified by adding to it the momentum vectors of all
clusters having E— > 3 GeV and separated by an angle n> from it such that
cos u > 0.2 . The evaluation of the cross sections for reactions (1)
and (2) fro* these events requires the knowledge of the integrated
luminosity for the normalization and the determination of the detector
acceptance including the effects of the energy smearing on the steeply
felling fx_ spectra. A Monte Carlo simulation of the detector is used to
calculate the acceptance. The Monte Carlo events are processed through
the sane analysis chain as the data. The comparison of the transverse
momentum (p^) and the two-jet invariant mass (m..) distributions of the
reconstructed Monte Carlo events with those of the initial partons used
as input provides the acceptance functions t (p_) and e (m..) by which
the observed cross-sections must be divided to obtain the corrected jet
and two-jet cross-sections. The uncertainty due to the model dependence
of the acceptance calculation has been studied by using different
independent models*"*^, by changing the details of jet fragmentation and
by varying relevant analysis parameters, such as the accepted rapidity
range, the parameters of the clustering algorithm etc. The systematic
uncertainty on t is estimated to be ± 35$.
Further uncertainties have to be considered in addition to this
systeaatic error: The normalization is also affected by the ± 8%
uncertainty in the knowledge of the integrated luminosity and the
systematic error on the calorimeter energy calibration is contributing
another ± 30V The overall systematic uncertainty oil the cross-sections
for reactions (1) and (2) is estimated to be ± 45% after adding all the
contributions in quadrature.
70
The cross-sections for inclusive jet production d*o / dp— dn at
D = 0 both for •s = 546 GeV (1983 data) and /s = 630 GeV (1984 data)
are shown in fig. la as a function of the jet transverse momentum p_.
The cross-sections for two-jet production do / dm., with both jets in
the interval -0.85 < n < 0.85 are displayed in fig. lb both for
/s = 546 GeV and /s = 630 GeV. The quoted errors include the
statistical errors and the energy-dependent systematic uncertainty on
the acceptance functions.
The cross-sect ions at A = 630 GeV are systematically higher than
those at /s = 546 GeV. In order to examine in more detail the observed
increase of the two cross-sections, the ratios between the values at
/s = 630 GeV and at Y'S = 546 GeV have been evaluated. The results are
presented in figs. 2a and 2b : Only the statistical errors have been
taken into account, since the systematic contributions are expected to
cancel at first order. A p~. (m..) dependent increase of the jet cross
sections is observed.
The data from UA2 can be compared with those from the ISR11' in
terms of scaled invariant jet cross sections. The "naive" parton
model12^ predicts that, as a function of Jtj. = (2 pT/Vs), the invariant
jet cross-section is given by E do/dp3 = f(x-,) p^"*. Fig. 3a shows the
quantity p .* E do/dp* as a function of x^. both for ISR and UA2 data. As
expected from scale invariance violation, the UA2 data show that at the
same x~ the cross sections are lower for higher Js. A phenomenological
fit of the form E do/dp1 « fCXj) p T" where fUj.) = A (l-xT)m/'xT
3 was
performed. A good overall fit is obtained for all data (ISR
at /s = 45 GeV and A = 63 GeV and UA2 data at /s = 546 GeV and
/s = 630 GeV) with the parameters n = 4.74 + 0.06, m = 6.54 ± 0.15 and
A = (8.3 + 0.4) • 10"17 (fig. 3b). The collider data alone are best
described. in this context by n = 4.5 ± 0.3, m = 7.3 ± 0.2 and
A = ft-6 ± 0.2) • 10-".
The measurement of the inclusive jot production cross-sections,
reactions (1) and (2), can be compared directly to QCD predictions.
Several QCD calculations have been reported2*"1' . In the following the
data are compared with a QCD prediction performed using the
71
paraaetrizatioa of Eichten «t a l . 1 " for the structure functions with
Q* » p * and A * 200 MeV. The comparisons between data and QCS are
shown in fig. 1« «nd in fig. lb for <fm <* 546 GeV and •» = 630 GeV. The
agraeaent is rather good and this is also seen in fig. 2 vhere the
ratios between the two different energies are displayed.
It has been suggested that a possible substructure of quarks and
leptons would manifest itself as a new contact interaction visible at
large momentum transfers"). The cross-sections for reactions (1) and
(2) are expected to deviate at large Pj. or •,. fro* the QCD behaviour
depending on the energy scale lc which characterizes the strength of
this new interaction. A detemination of A£ from the data is in
principle possible, but the uncertainties related to the QCD
calculations and the systematic contribution; attached to the data limit
its accuracy. Comparisons between data and predictions lead to a lover
limit of Ac > 370 GeV at 95* C.L. (figs, la and lb).
4. SEARCH FOR STRUCTURE IN THE INVARIANT TWO-JET MASS DISTRIBUTION
Following the indication of a possible structure in the jet-jet
invariant mass around ISO GeV as seen in the 19S3 data, we repeated the
same analysis with higher statistics for the 1984 data. A sample of
clean events with two jets in the central calorimeter and not too much
energy in the forward-backward calorimeter were selected. For each
event, the two-jet invariant mass was computed increasing the energy of
the second jet in order to balance the transverse energy of the first
jet (FyH = 0). The • .. distribution for 1983 and 1984 runs are shown
in figs. 4 and 5, respectively. The best description of the data in
terms of a smooth distribution is obtained with the following
parametriaatioa: dN/dm.j * a e*"jj + I e*"jj. A simultaneous fit to
the data allowing also for the presence of a mass peak was performed.
The peak was parametrized by a gaussian with a width of 13 GeV, as
expected for the mass resolution in this region. The fit for the 1983
data resulted in an enhancement of n * 73-23 events at a mass
•jj m 147±3 GeV using only events with m,. > 80 SeV. The 1984 data
72
shew, on th* contrary, no significant structure around •,. « 150 GeV.
In fact, a fit for a fixed •., • 147 GaV fives a snail dip of
a « -47-so «v«nts. Also the combined distribution froa the 1983 and
1984 runa (fig. 6) shows no significant buan above a smooth background:
Around • ., = 147 GoV , only a "signal" of n = 26 ± 42 events survives.
S. MULTI-JET ANALYSIS
two-jet production is the doainant hadronic process at large
transverse energies at the CERN pj5 Collider'" . However the fine
granularity of the UA2 calorimeter allows for the observation of a clear
signal of events with three or Bore jets. In QCD the main multi-jet
events source is the strong radiative correction to the elastic
parton-parton scattering processes. The relative rate of three-jet to
two-Jet events is proportional to the strong interaction coupling
constant a . A comparison between the two and multi-jet cross-sections
gives therefore a determination of a . Such an analysis is in progress.
We report here only an account of the experimental method together with
some preliminary distributions.
Multi-jet events have been studied in a kinematical region where the
jets are well separated. This is also the region in which the
perturbative QCD calculations"^ give reliable predictions. The
"multi-jettiness" of an event is studied in terms of the variables
P_ou . This variable measures in fact the lack of planarity of a
multi-jet configuration when the collision plane is defined by the
proton line of flight (?) and the highest E^ cluster (p*i):
(pi * b)
73
Fig. 7 shows the distribution of P T°u t separately for two and
multi-jet events in the laboratory frame. The results of the
predictions of ref. 16 for three parton final states oBtained with
A = 200 KeV and normalized to the two-jet sample is displayed in fig. 6.
The systematic uncertainties (luminosity, structure functions,
fragmentation, multiple soft bremsstrahlung, energy scale) are found to
be small (<30%). Calculations with different values of A result in
distributions having the same shape but different absolute
normalizations.
6. CONCLUSIONS
During the 1984 run, the UA2 detector at the CERN pp collider took
data at Vs = 630 GeV. The data collected at this energy, together with
those collected at /s = 546 GeV by the same apparatus during previous
runs, were used to investigate the dependence of the inclusive jet
cross-section and of the two-jet production cross-section on the centre
of mass energy. The QCD predictions were found to agree very well with
the experimental results. A search for structure in the two-jet mass
distribution showed no evidence of a bump around 150 GeV. A preliminary
analysis on multi-jet events indicates a good sensitivity in the
determination of the strong coupling constant a . Work on this subject
is in progress.

1. INTRODUCTION
In the 1983 CERN p"p Collider run (v's = 540 GeV) the UA2Collaboration has observed ' electrons produced in association withhard jets and large missing transverse momentum. From the samerunning period the UA1 Collaboration has reported "' events with largemissing transverse energy accompanied by a jet (monojet) or by aphoton type electromagnetic cluster (monophoton). A common feature ofboth event samples is the presence of a large missing transversemomentum C -|0 • The subject of the present talk is a search for eventsof the UA1 type (monojets and monophotons) * and for multijet eventswith large missing p-j- as suggested by recent SUSY model calculations3 " 5 1 , using the data collected with the UA2 detector during the 1984 j5pCollider run (Vs = 630 GeV).
Lacking the highly selective power of the requirement of an electronsignature makes such a search much more vulnerable to backgroundthan was the case in Ref. 1. In particular the accidental coincidence ofa pp collision with the interaction of a beam halo particle in the UA2calorimeter may simulate an event of the type we are searching for. Amajor part of the present study is devoted to rejecting suchbackground events.
In the UA2 detector, the lack of coverage at small angles withrespect to th« beam line is a trivial source of events of thn typeobserved by the UA1 Collaboration: Two-jet events, in which one of thejets is produced at less than 20° to the beam, appear as single-jetevents in the present UA2 detector, thus accompanied by a largemissing transverse momentum. This limitation precludes a significantsearch for events having less than =30 GeV/c missing transversemomentum. Above this value, configurations in which one of the twojets escapes the UA2 acceptance become unlikely. We shall thereforerestrict the present search to missing transverse momenta exceeding30 GeV/c.
In this talk we discard searches for events of the type [pp - W*X,W - tE, t —evb), or (pp — . . . - eTjets(s)*large Pj), which have been
85
reported on by B. Mansoulie 6 ' and H. Plothow-Besch ••, respectively,
elsewhere.
2. APPARATUS AND TRIGGERS
The UA2 detector has been described in detail elsewhere ' . We
briefly recall its main features.
Apart from two narrow cones along the beams, the detector providesfull azimuthal coverage in three distinct regions of polar angles:40° < 9 < 140c, the central region, and 20° < 6 < 40°. 140° < 6 < 160°.the forward regions.
In the centre of the detector a set of coaxial cylindrical dr i f t ardproportional chambers detect the cha:ged particle tracks produced inthe collision and measure the position of the event vertex.
An array of 480 calorimeter cells, each cell covering a similar domainof longitudinal phase space (15° of azimuth and =0.2 units of rapidity},measures the energy density in the final state. Each cell is segmentedlongitudinally, the inner compartment containing electromagneticshowers. While hadron showers are usually contained in the 4 5absorption lengths of the central calorimeter (CC) ', providing ameasurement of jet energies, they only deposit a fraction of theirenergy in the forward calorimeters (FC) which are =1.0 absorptionlength thick. These forward regions are equipped with magneticspectrometers which measure the momenta of charged jet fragments, theenergy of the rr°'s being measured in the calorimeter cells.
Two scintillator arrays (referred to as veto counters in thefollowing)*' located at a distance of 8.5 m from the center of UA2 onboth sides of the detector and covering a polar angular region of2.4° < 6 < 7.0°, are used to reject background events due to beam haloas described in the next section.
' borrowed from the UA5 experiment '
66
The data presented in this talk were recorded during the 1984
running period of the CERN pp Collider with two newly installed
triggers, the pij-trigger and the single jet trigger. The fSy-trigger
required that the modulus of the missing transverse momentum vector
(constructed by hardware from the transverse energies ' measured in
the calorimeter cells) exceeded 30 GeV. The single jet trigger required
that the scalar sum XE-r- of all the transverse energies measured in the
cells of any azimuthal wedge with A * = 120° of the central calorimeter
exceeded the same threshold of 30 GeV.
Two small angle scintillator arrays (covering, an angular range
0.44° '. 8 < 2.84°) on both sides of the collision region are used in
coincidence with both triggers to provide a "minimum bias" signal ' .
A sample of minimum bias" events was recorded simultaneously with the
date presented here to provide a measurement of the integrated
luminosity Jifdt which amounts to 310 nb ' 1 .
3. DATA REDUCTION
In UA2 there exist two major background sources for the type of
'ents looked for in the present analysis:ev
a) Two- or multi-jet events from genuine pp interactions, where > 1
let is at least partially lost in an insensitive region of the
oetector (see sect. 2). This background is referred to as "QCD
background" in the following.
b) Background from beam halo particles, which either satisfy the
triggering condition directly or appear as an accidental overlap
with a "minimum bias" pp interaction. This background is
referred to as ''beam halo background" in the following.

QCD background events can be recognised if they leave at leastsome trace of energy in the forward calorimeters opposite in azimuth tothe jec (system) seen in CC. Thus the forward regions in spite of theirlacking hadronic calorimetry can be used as a veto region against theQCD background.
Most of the beam halo background events are easily identified whenthey satisfy one of the following conditions:
i) if they are associated with an early signal in the smail angle
scintiliator arrays (minimum Dias counters),
ii) if the event has an abnormally large total transverse energyfraction in the hadronic compartments,
iii) if the event contains only one central calorimeter cluster withmore than 90°6 of its energy in the hadronic compartments.
Events satisfying any one of the above conditions, are rejected. Theloss of good events introduced by these cuts has been shown to be
121
negligible ' . However, while these background rejection criteria arewell suited to the study of two-jet events, they become insufficientwhen the data of interest are required to have a large missingtransverse momentum.
To further reduce the remaining beam halo background we takeadvantage of the fact that a large fraction of these events ischaracterised by an early timing in either the left or the right handside veto counter array, depending on the direction of f l ight of thehalo particles ( f ig . 1).According to that the sample of early timing events was used
1. to study the energy deposition pattern ot the beam halo back-ground in order to establish suitable cuts other than the timingcut itself (to reduce residual beam halo background due to theinefficiency of the veto counters),
88
2. to measure the efficiency of these cuts of rejecting beam halo
background.
The inefficiency on good events of these cuts was measured usingbalanced two-iet events as well as minimum bias events.

4. SEARCH FOR MONOJETS
The search for monojets with the UA2 detector was motivated by theUA1 monojet and monophoton events reported in 1983 ~'.
4 . 1 . Monojet Event Selection
The data sample used for the monojet search was the one recordedby the p"-j- tr igger. For all these events the value of the p'-p wasre-determined by software (using the single cell energies), and a p£ycut was applied at 30 GeV, where the hardware pj tr igger had beenfully efficient. The remaining data sample was subject to the standardUA2 initial selection criteria described in sect. 3 to reject backgroundfrom non pp collisions.
The remaining data sample of 10249 events contains mainly eventsfrom the two background sources described in sect. 3, namely OCDevents with at least one jet in an insensitive region of the detector,and beam halo background (estimated to account for •- 40% of thepresent events with Py > 30 GeV'i.
At this stage all events are fully reconstructed, and the forward jetenergies are recalculated using also the momentum information of thecharged tracks.
In the following we describe the specific cuts applied to furtherreduce the QCD and beam halo background-.
a) Keep only events with a sufficiently centered vertex:
' zver tex ' * ^® m m ' ' T n e probability to loose jets is higher forlargely displaced vertices.)
b) At large distances from the beam the nalo induces showers in theouter calorimeter compartments, resulting in leading clustershaving a large fraction f^ of their energy in the hadroniccompartments. Therefore we require the leading jet ( jetD tohave fH < 90%.
90
c) In addition we require the leading jet to be well contained in CCby selecting only events where less than half of the energy ofjet l is found in edge cells: E e d g e c e | | s / E t o t < 50°c
d) At medium distances the beam halo induces long showersdeveloping in the central calorimeter parallel to the beam line,resulting in characteristic energy patterns. The calorimeter cellarray consists of 240 cells arranged in 10 "r ings" of cells havinga same 9 or 24 "slices of cells having a same <)>. The largestnumber M« of "r ings" hit within a wedge of two adjacent "slices"(Nln ^ 10) has large values for this configuration. We requireN R < 7 .
These cuts leave a sample of 3128 events. About 5% of them are dueto beam haio background, which can be further reduced by requiringgood timino:
(.) We .-eject events with an early timing in the veto counters byrequiring t e v e n t > -23 ns.
At this stage the beam halo background accounts for onfy about1-2%, and the bulk of the events are of the QCD type: 1 jet in CC,> 1 jet in an insensitive region of UA2. As mentioned in sect. 3 the lostjets usually leave some traces of energy in FC. We therefore impose acut on the scalar sum of the energies (JE-r°'">'>) measured in anazimuthai wedge with half opening angle Atp = 60° opposite to the(transverse) direction of t+ie leading jet (OCD events contain mainly 2jets ~' back-to-back in the transverse plane):
f) I E j O p p ( i n FC alone) < 3 GeVXE T
o p p ( i n F C , C c ) < 10 GeV.
The p'-j- spectrum of the remaining events is shown in f ig . 2 togetherwith a Monte Carlo prediction for OCD two-jet background (smooth line)obtained with the ISAJET •• programme. There is good agreementbetween our data and the QCD expectation, but a small non QCD typesignal can of course not been ruled out.
91
Fig. 2: ?-j--sp>ectrum of final monojet sample (known W — ev eventsexcluded). The smooth line is a Monte Carlo prediction by theISAJET ' programme for QCD two-jet background.
Above ^-j- = 65 GeV only one event is present: (t has a fT of100.2 GeV, and no track pointing to the energy cluster. Since it hasenergy in the two inner (i .e. in the electromagnetic and first hadronic)compartments of CC, but none in the outermost (second hadronic), itcan neither be interpreted in terms of isolated photons/TTr's nor ofordinary jets. We assume that the event is a beam halo backgroundsurviving our cuts. Keeping it, however, in our sample we quote anupper limit on the cross section
o = n/tJiPdt / (1)for monojet production in the region pt— > 65 GeV:
n(piT > 65 GeV) < 3.9 (901, c.I.) (2).
92
The total cut efficiency e of the monojet selection has been estimatedusing minimum bias and balanced two-jet events:
c(monojet cuts) = 0.54 (3).This gives for the integrated luminosity of 310 nb"1 of the 1984 run:
23 p b
We can evaluate this upper limit in a somewhat lower e>T~region:There are 40 (218) events with -p in excess of 5G (40) GeV. Usingthe region 40 < -j-< 50 GeV to normalise the Monte-Carlo calculation,the estimated background from two-jet events in which one of the jetsescapes the UA2 acceptance is 46 events for 0>T > 50 GeV. From thisresult the 90% c.l. upper limit for the production of events with a jetplus tT > 50 GeV is
> 50 GeV) < 73 pb (90% c.l.) ( 4 ) .
•4.2. Search For Monophotbns
As a simple extension of the monojet analysis, a search for monophotonshas been carried out using the final monojet sample of sect. 4.1. andlooking for events with isolated electromagnetic clusters. Removingfirst atl known W - ev events the following photon selection cuts wereapplied (for definitions see Ref. 14):
g) Require the energy cluster to show smaJI lateral extension:cluster radius < 0.5 cells, and to have small leakage into thehadronic compartments;
h) ask for no charged particle track coming from the vertex withina 20" cone around the line connecting the vertex with the CCenergy cluster center. Accept only events with at most onepreshower cluster with charge > 3 mip (minimum ionising particleequivalent) in the same 20° cone.
93
The sample of events with no preshower cluster present is called the
"unconverted sample", events with one preshower cluster belong to the
"converted" sample.

Fig. 3 shows the p-j--spectrumof the remaining convertedand unconverted monopnotoncandidates. A scanning byphysicists on a computerizedgraphics display (MEGATEK)has shown that out of thefive converted events fourare probably W — ev events,where the electron track hasnot been reconstructed due totracking inefficiency.
The conversion probability in the preshower detector is about 70°o. Itseems therefore very unlikely, that the unconverted events are due toisolated photons/n0 s. Their much more probable interpretation is interms of beam halo background.Estimating the overall efficiency i of the monophoton search to be

4.3. Search For The Proces W — ev Through The Analysis
Using the process pp — W*X, W - ev, a cross check can be establishedbetween the electron and the p1- analysis of UA2. To this end eventscontaining electromagnetic clusters and large &j have been selected byextending the present monojet analysis: Again, the final monojetcandidate sample of sect. 4 . 1 . has been taken and further cuts havebeen imposed to select electromagnetic clusters:
i) cluster radius < 0.5 cells (as in monophoton search);
j) hadronic leakage < 12OD (efficiency for 40 GeV electrons: 92°O).

Fig. 4 shows the fiyspectrum of theremaining events: Thereis a distinct Jacobianpeak at around 40 GeV,indicating as ev. ' tsou res the W — evdecay.
This event sample can be c npared to that one found through theelectron search: From the 66 events with pS-r > 30 GeV andP T
e m > 30 GeV, 48 events have been also found in the electron search,the number of non overlapping events thus being 18.The background estimate for the W — ev search through the pi-p analysisgives an expectation of 7.7 : 1.0 events from QCD (two-jet)background and 1.1 i 0.6 events from beam halo background.
In comparison a scan of the non-overlapping events on the MEGATEKgraphics display shows that about 9 events can be ascribed to the OCD(two-jet) and about 4 events to the beam halo background. This isroughly compatible with the above estimates. Two events are probablyW — ev candidates.
Taking on the other hand the event sample found in the electron searchand applying to it the same "f i l ter" cuts as in the monojet analysis,
Eedge < 5 0 °~ Ehad / E tot < 10%; * > / > 3 0 G e V ; ^T > 3 0 G e V 'leaves 50 W - ev events in CC, which are reduced to 42 by applvingthe specific monojet cuts of sect. 4.1 and 4.3. This is in agreementwith the efficiency of these cuts as estimated from minimum bias andbalanced two-jet events.
A comparison of the two values for the cross section,for the process(pp — W*X, W - ev) shows agreement within errors:
alpp - W*X, W - ev) = 590 t 90 pb from p T analysis (8a),a(pp - W*X, W - ev) = 540 t 70 pb from electron analysis (8b).

The main physics background is expected to come from standardQCD production of i 3-jet events. They can fake such eventconfigurations if one of the jets is badly measured or escapes detection.
96
5.1 . Event Selection
The initial data sample for this analysis (72454 events) consists ofevents which have 2 or 3 jets with E-p > 15 GeV inside the fiducialregion of the central calorimeter (|n.l < 0.85). The jets are orderedaccording to decreasing Ey ( E j 1 > Ej* > ^T*^ ' anc* t h e 'ead-ing Je t l s

Multi-jet events with large fi— have been selected by the criteria&j > 35 GeV and 15° < « i S 020° where 012 is the azimuthal separationbetween the two largest jets. Ordinary QCD two-jet events have 3>ustrongly peaked towards 180° *•••' whereas events with <J>u < 15° arecontaminated by background from beam halo particles. A total of 174events satisfy this selection. They are submitted to the following cuts"which aim at rejecting event configurations where the large pj is dueto the QCD background from multi-jet events with badly measured jets:
i) ZE-p(CC) < 20 GeV, whe>-e IE-p is the transverse energysummed over ail cells of the CC not belonging to the jets;
ii) IE (FC) < 12 GeV, where 2!E 'S the energy summed overall electromagnetic cells of the FC;
i i i j <t(f£j-j,f£j.,-p) > 30°, where p-,., is the p-,-vector of the jetsystem and ^ y p r is the py-vector of ail ceils in the FC.
The last two cuts are illustrated in f igs. 5 and 6. The distributions ofthe present event sample are compared with the ones from well-balancedtwo-j«t event* (defined by p T J < 3 G«V, * l t > 170° and ji-j- < 10 GeV).in general a significant amount of energy is found >n the FC apposite to|£^j in' spite of the large overall 4-j-- This is a clear indication forQCD multijet background as mentioned already in sect. 3. Theadditional FC energy in SUSY events with genuine f*T is expected to besmall and not correlated to p^-j (as for the well-baianced two-jetsample).

5.2. Results
Two events survive the selection criteria. One contains an identifiedelectron, appearing here as the leading jet (E-j-1). The event is of thetopology pp - W*jet+X, W - ev and is included in the data samplediscussed in J. There remains only one multi-jet event with &j. Itcan most naturally be interpreted in terms of a QCD multi-jetbackground event because it has * (p^ . j ,^ -p C ) = 42° (which is near thecut) and it has also a central calorimeter cluster of Ey = 7 GeVopposite to p j . .
Nevertheless this event is retained in the evaluation of the upperlimit on the cross section for 2- or 3-jet events with &j > 35 GeV and15° < «is <120° The efficiency of the cuts i) to iii) and of the vetocounter requirement has been determined experimentally using thesample of well-batanced two-jet events mentioned above. The resultinglimit is
This cross section limit can be compared with predictions from SUSYcalculations. The event generator of ' has been used to simulate qifand gg* production at the J5p Collider. The final state jets have beensubmitted to the same very restrictive topological cuts as the data.Cross sections of about 10 pb are predicted for q or g masses in therange 40 to 60 GeV, whereas lower observable cross sections areexpected for smaller or larger masses. The sensitivity to lower massesis suppressed due to the experimental selection criteria. The presentanalysts does not exclude events with such low cross sections and istherefore not in contradiction to the prediction of this specific model.

6. SUMMARY AMP CONCLUSIONS
Using the full data sample (Ji?dt = 310 ntT1) collected during the1984 pp Collider run (Vs = 630 GeV), the UA2 Collaboration hassearched for monojet and monophoton type events as suggested by the1983 data of the UA.1 Collaboration '. and for multijet events withlarge missing transverse momentum (pV) as predicted by SUSY modelslarge missing transverse momentum ip-rJ as predicted Dy S U J I moaeis
' . No significant signal could be isolated from background foreither event type. Nevertheless we can quote the following upper limitsfor the production of such events in pp collisions at vs = 630 GeV:
a) monojets:a ( p i T > 6 5 G e V ) < 2 3 p b (90°o c . l . ) o r :aWT > 50 G e V ) < 7 3 p b (90S, c . l . ) ,
b) monophotons:aiPjV > 4 5 G e V , p 'y > 3 0 G e V ) < 14 p b (90% c . l . ) ,
c) multijets • large pS-y-:c(pST > 35 GeV) < 27 pb (90°Ojp.l.).
These results are not in contradiction with the SUSY models ofRefs. 3-5.
The experimental method has been checked by measuring theprocess pp - W+X, W - ev through a • study of events with anelectromagnetic cluster and large pV, and comparing them to the onesfound in the electron analysis '. Agreement within errors has beenfound for the two event samples as well as for the two measurements ofthe cross section:
a(pp - W»X, W - ev) = 590 ± 90 pis from * T analysis,o(pp - W*X, W - ev) = 540 ± 70 pb from electron analysis.

SPONTANEOUS PARITY BREAKING BY QUANTUM CORRECTIONS
M. Olechowslci and M. Spaliriski
Institute of Theoretical Physics, Warsaw University,
Warsaw, Poland
Attract
Spontaneous gauge symmetry breaking by quantum corrections
is considered in the context of the left-right symmetric mo-
del of the olectroweak interactions. We find that a realistic
model can be constructed only if the theory includes heavy
gauge singlet farmiona.
1, Introduction
The idea of symmetry being broken by quantum corrections
is a very appealing one for both aesthetic and practical rea-
sons- These latter include the hope that a hierarchy of gauge
symmetry breaking might arise if some of the symmetry breaking
is a perturbative higher order effect. In this note we take
up this question in the context of the left-right symmetric
model of the eloctroweak interactions [1]. This model is parti-
cularly attractive from this point of view because the required
hierarchy (measured by the ratio M,,, /M,,. ) may be relativelyR L
small [2j. Similar ideas have been recently considered by
Cvetic [3j; our conclusions however differ from his. Cvetic's
racial is reexarained in Section 2. We find that the conditions
for the minimum of the effective.potential found by Cvetic
cannot be satisfied. In Section 3 the role of the discreet
left-right symmetry ie considered. We show that the desired
minimum of the effective potential exists when L-R symmetry
is broken explicitly. In Section 4 we examine the idea that
heavy fermions (like the right-handed neutrino) could change
the negative conclusions of Section 2. We find it is possible
and give bounds on the heavy fermion mass. However the simp-
lest model of this kind does not agree with phenomenology.
We end by discussing a way out of this impasse which entails
the presence of heavy gauge singlet fermions in. the theory.
In trie course of this work we also considered a Gildener-
Weinbarg type of approach [4j. In this framework the effecti-
ve potential is. flat in one direction n(4>) . Radiative cor-
105
rections determine the magnitude of <•> and (,$$"} , where
<£$> i s not parallel to n<<!»> .
Formally j ^ = 0(«0 but in fact < i # > = 0 . '
The proof i s analogous to that of the. Georgi-Pais theorem [5].
In view of the above we concentrated on the approach of
Cvetic.
2. Cvetic's model
In this Section we analyse in detail the idea put forward
by Cvetic ™. Following him we consider the Higgs fields
necessary to break the gauge symmetry of the left-right sym-
metric model of the electroweak interactions but do not ex-
plicitly introduce the scalars needed to give masses to far-
mions..

The radiative correction £"V is a sum of contributions
from gauge boson, scalar, and fermion loops [7]
The fermion contribution is dropped because of the assumed
smallness of fermion masses; the scalar contribution is also
unimportant since it respect the 0(2) symmetry. Thus only
the gauge boson contribution is relevant for modifying the
tree level pattern of symmetry breaking. This correction is
given by [7} :

where A is the renormalisation point and
_4 cos-fw ,.-2 t, _ , / . 414-ZsWwl VCVR 1_ C2*11/
M w > M j and & are independent of C . We now cal-
culate the quantity (A*a A)
Substituting the gauge boson masses (Mj'fJj^M^
M 3 = M 4 = M W R . M5iC = M ^ ) we find

It is easy to calculate that for J> CZ7Q
while

Thus for the full one loop potential (the ferrcion contribu-
tion dropped) we have
which shows that the stationary point of V is a local
maximum, not a minimum. It is clear from eq, (2.15) that our
conclusion does not depend on the parameter "j . The magni-
tude of ^2. m aY influence the position of the extremum
but not its character. Thus we conclide that the conditions
written down by Cvetic have no solutions, and the only minima
110
are at c = 0, ^ or 1. This corresponds to three solutions:
unbroken SUL(2)
(2.18)
C2=i yt^y1 ifft'O : unbroken 5UR(2)
Neither of these satisfies the requirement (2. A) which ex-
presses the phenomenologically desired hierarchy of symmetry
breaking,'
In conclusion radiative corrections can modify the tree
level pattern of symmetry breaking. For example the discreet
left-right symmetry may be broken and simultaneously SU,(.2)
syrcnetry nay be restored. However the possible patterns of
symmetry breaking (eq. (2.18)) are the same as in the tree ap-
proximation f eq. (2.3)) , and only the critical value of Ag
is changed.
3. JiscrsDt left-rj-ht symmetry
The gauge syfinetry group in our model is SUL(2) X SUR (2)x
Xt'e , (l) . The scalar fields potential V depends in general
on nany constants \L , AJJ , A and fields $J , >£ ,
4> . Let us define a transformation T:
111
The potential V is a scalar undsr T . In the case of left-
right symmetry we have At = X R and T is equivalent to
$Z ** $k • lt corresponds to C*<"* (4-C*) in the nota-
tion of Section 2. Thus we have
ivhe re V S g«jj V and V
a -F (4 -C*) (3.3)
At the extremun of the potential
From eq.(3.3) it follows that Ffc1) changes its sign at
c = 7J. Thus V (Co) does not change its sign in the neigh-
bourhood of cQ = . In the model proposed by Cvetic F(c )= O
only for c2= and from eq.(3.4) it follows that v"(c2) is
always positive at the extremuro.
There isn't such a conclusion in the case of the left-
right symmetry been broken explicitly. In this case T trans-
112
P 2
formation is not equivalent to exchanging c <r+ fl-c }-
Thus we cannot write eqs (3.2) and (3.3). In general V ( c Q )
changes its sign at c = •= ; minima and maxima of V(c ) are
possible.
There is another problem connected with the left-right
symmetry. U'e will now consider a model with the gauge group
UL(l) * UR(l) for simplicity. The Higgs potential is
Denoting the real v.e.v. of fa_(4>p) by f^ffft) we have
the extremum conditions
(3.6)
A continuum manifold of vacuua (an elipse in the space- of
fu-^R ) appears for
7)
Thus to have a degeneracy (which would be removed by radiati-
ve corrections) we need two conditions on the parameters,
while only one can be naturally imposed by the choice of
renormalii-ation point'-4'8-'. If we had imposed the discreet
113
L-R symmetry, v/e would have only one condition to enforce,
which could presumably be done in a natural fashion by choo-
sing the renormalization scale appropriarely. There is also
another reason for having explicit L-R symmetry: we would
like it to be broken spontaneously rather then explicitly in
ah ad hoc manner. But having exact L-R symmetry we have also
the negative conclusions of Section 2, We propose a solution
of this problem in the following Section.
4. Heavy fermions
We consider now r/hat happens when there are heavy fer-
mions in the theory, that is fermions with masses of order-
Mv, or greater. In this case the fermion loop contribution to
the effective potential is not negligible and can in fact
alter the results in a qualitative way. The fernion couplings
to the scalar field tj> are of the form hvj/cjjij/ , so that •i
the masses of the fermions are given by
mF = h <cf>> (4.1)
so
The fermion loop contribution is given by [7]
1U
- T r
for Dirac fermions and a half of that for Majorana fermions.
Again we compute the expression 2V + (/l-2c*) V which can
then easily be used to check whether a given extremum is a
minimum or not. For one pair of heavy fermions we hav/e:
S =where S = —~~T^T" • ihis can also be written in the forra
Let us assume that there is an extremum at c »c so
This extremum is a minimum when
115
(4.6)
which gives a bound on the ferrnion mass. Thus in the model
under consideration it is always possible to have a minimum
at some c = c such that a hierarchy of symmetry breaking
is created by radiative corrections. *
It is known'- -I that heavy fermions may destabilize the
vacuum. iVe have to analyse our model from this point of view.
It is easy to check that V = V + 5 V G + £ V.. is not bounded
from below when eq. (4.6) is satisfied. However it is not a
serious problem; the effective potential contains the scalar
fieid contribution <5 Vg . This contribution does not de-
pend on c but it depends on the radius tp . The vacuum is
stable when for ip approaching infinity the sum oVg+0V5
dominates oVp which is easy to arrange.
The question now is whether our mechanism would work in
a realistic model of the electroweak interactions. In such e
model a heavy fermion naturally appears - the right-handed
neutrino. However this possibility is not easy to implement
for the following reason. In the model discussed above it
was crucial that the fermion coupled to the scalars via a
Yukawa coupling of the form iLdriL' . However such a coupling
is possible only if the scalar field tr&nsforms in such a
116
way that this term is a singlet under the gauge group. Thus
<j> has to transform as an odd-dimensional representation of
SU(2). For the right-handed Majorana neutrino $ is a trip-
let ( A. in the notation of Mahapatra and Senjanovic'- -y.
However experimental evidence implies that the SU.(2) brea-
king must proceed via a non-zero vacuum expectation value of
a scalar doublet [icQ . This problem can be resolved by in-
troducing a gauge singlet feririon 5 so that couplings like
if(f-s) or J(i}'£J?) are possible. Now <p is a doublet
and the model can be made to agree with phenomenology. The
inclusion of such gauge singlet fermions has been discussed
-for quite different reasons in ref.^ll"] .
V.'e would like to express our appreciation and gratitude
to prof. G. Pokorski for many stimulating discussions.

1_ INTRODUCTION
Recently there has been a growing interest in investi-
gating what happens in the G-W-S model when the Bass of the
Higgs becomes large and close to the unitary limit (Mg-lTeV)
(1.2,3,4].
It is known from a long time [5,6] that when the mass
of the Higgs Mjj^lTeV partial wave unitarity is violated in
the tree scattering amplitudes of longitudinal vector bosons
W^,Z, and Higgs. Therefore you expect the sector of W^,Z^
and H to acquire the characteristics of a strongly coupled
theory.
This is clearly exemplified by the Cornwall, Levine,
Tiktopoulos theorem [7] which relates, at high energy
is»m^> the amplitude TtW^,WL,ZL,H) for scattering of longi-
tudinal bosons and Higgs to the analogous one T( w+, w~ ,'z, h)
for a scalar^ theory in the ' tHooft-Feynman gauge. Therefore
we can study the behaviour of the sector w£,wr,Z,,H at high
energy simply studying an 0(4) scalar theory. The self cou-
pling of the theory is \-{.G^/fi'iH^, exemplifying why the
theory is expected to become strong when MJJ •» oo .
A J-0 resonance (a scalar Higgs bound state) is
expected. Its width, as the perturbative Higgs mass grows,
becomes larger and larger and its mass saturates
[nj.0<800GeVJ [5,2]. J=l Higgs bound states are also
expected [3,4]. They can be phenooenologically relevant,
because if their mass is low, they can alter the high energy
behaviour of the G-W-S model.
The aim of this talk is to present the construction of
an effective Lagrangian describing these vector bound states
[3]. The aethod is based on the hidden symmetry formulation
of the non linear a-model [8,9].
121
This approach have been recently suggested to describe
p-vector mesons in QCV, together with vector meson dominance
and the KSFR relation (10j.
In our case we apply these ideas to the
SU(2)xSt/(2)/SlH2; nan linear e-model that we obtain from the
Higgs sector just taking, as suggested by Appelquist and
Bernard [11] the formal limit Mp -f co in the generating func-
tional. This non linear a-raodol can be reformulated in a
linear way by introducing vector mesons of the hidden local
symmetry SU(2)loc.
At the classical Jevel these vector bosons are nothing
but auxiliary fields. However in two dimensional a-modsi a
kinetic term is radiatively generated (3j. Here WE assume
that such vector fields become dynamical.
Their masses, mixing with W and Z, their coupling to
fermions and th« phenomenological consequences are dis-
cussed .
2^ STRONG INTERACTING HIGGS BOSONS
The Higgs sector of the G-W-S aodel can be reformulated
in tent of a 2x2 aatrix
in tens of which the Lagrangian becoaes (we neglect for the
•oaent SU(2)LxU(l)y interactions) :,
where f 24SGeV is the vacuum-expectation value of the scalar
122
field. The Lagrangian is invariant under the SU(2)^xSUf2)„
transformations M — V^MV^. The potential has a minimum
located at M*M=f 2 implying <0(M(x)|0>=f. When the gauged
linear c-model is considered, the Hlggs mechanism takes
place and the gauge bosons become massive.
A convenient way to analyze the regime where the mass
ecomes large is
generating functional
Mr, becomes large is to take the formal limit MJJ -* oo in the
In this limit we get a 6 ( M ' M- f *" ) and we pass from the
linear to the non-linear a-model
where now D is the SU( 2 ] r >:U ( 1 , v co variant derivative, and
U-V is a dimensionless field such that
In conclusion if the aass of the Higgs becomes large we
<et as .an effective Lafrangian a non linear fauged cr-nodel.
The HiJJs particle desappeared fro» the theory; however it
is not completely decoupled since the reaainios effective
theory is not renormalizable. Therefore when computing at
one-loop level new divergences appear which require new
counterterms and the mass of the Higgs H» plays the role of
the cut-off.
As it was proved by Veltmsn [5] and Appelquist and col-
laborators {llj the sensitivity of the theory to Mj, is only
logarithmic.

3_ HIDDEN SYMMETRY AND NON LINEAR a-MOPEL
The Lagrangian for the not) linear •& .u-model can be con-
structed firstly by considering the following transforma-
tions (see for instance Ref. [9])
(3.1)
(3.2)
where x -» g(x), g(x ) eG.g
Let us denote the set of local transformations (3.1) by
The Maurei—Cartan ^
(3.2) and transforns as
$y. The Maurer-Cartan vector field g^S g is invariant under
(3.3)
( 3' 4 }
under the local ft. After a decomposition of ui along the
unbroken subgroup H and the orthogonal part we get
(3.5)
where Ta6Liejj,X ijj.
Under the local transformation (3.1) we have
(3.6)
(3.7;
and the following, two invariant Lagrangians can be con-
sidered :

If we introduce a vector field Vu transfcming as
we can consider one sore invariant tera

(3.12)
Since we are interested in an effective Lagrangian we
linit ourselves to terns up to two derivatives of the fields
and we consider the following expression :
126
|_- L «• <* L (3.13)
where a is an arbitrary parameter.
At the classical level V satisfies the equation of
notion V =AU and using it in (3.13) we get 1=L'*' which can
be proved to be equivalent to the kinetic term for the son
linear c-model.
In two-dimensional models [8j a kinetic term for V
radiatively generated and therefore the Lagrangian is
L - L l l > ->
Applications of these ideas to QCD by interpreting the
hidden vector mesons as p.vector mesons have been proposed
[10.;. Here we apply the rae'thod to the SU ( 2 ) xSU ( 2)/SU ( 2 ) non
3inear c model describing a strong interacting Higgs.

MODEL
In our case G = SU(2) LxSU(2)R, H=SU(2)n, the group ele-
•ent is t=(L,R), LeSU(2)L, ReSU(2)R. The Maurer-Cartan fora
is u (g)dx", where

Note that if we introduce a field U=LH+ we can rewrite L' '
(4.7)
which is the standard kinetic term for the non linear
cr-nodel.

Furthernore as anticipated in the previous section we
will assume that a kinetic ten for the vector mesons V is
radiatively generated, so that the final Lagrangian is

The lagrangian (4.11) describee the interactions of
vector bosons V^'.K^.Y and the scalar fields L,R. All the

gauge bosons, apart the photon, are expected to acquire
Basses by eating up the scalar fields. This can be expli-
citly seen by perforssing the transformation : .

It is known, in fact, that a non linear gauged o-Bodel is
equivalent to a massive Yang-Mills theory.
After the rescaling »-><W, Y-»j*Y. 2V-> f"V we can g"et
the aass aatrix in the charged and in the neutral sector
(Table 1).
Note that in the liait $" •> oo V becoaes an auxiliary
field and we recover the aass foraula's of the G-W-S aodel.

OGY
Let us consider the feraions of the G-W-S aodel and
denote thea in a coapact way by *T and ^B.
131
If we assuae <p^, 4^ singlet under the hidden

with the W's :
, then the feraions couple to V^ via the aixing
(5.1)
froa which we get the couplings
6
(5.2)
where the parameters hw,hy,A,B,C,D. correspond to the parame-
ters of Table 2 when b=0.
However in correspondence of each doublet 4-L we can
define the new fernion XT=L*4'T which is a singlet under
L-^g^L, but which transforas as
when L->th. Therefore we can consider one lore invariant
ten :
132
r X t (5.4)
where b is an arbitrary parameter.
An analogous ter» can be considered starting froa the
right-handed doublets +R (of course only for quarks if there
is no right banded neutrino}. For simplicity we will assme
zero such a term. A liait on the bound of the coupling of
Xjj=R+'<'jj to V can be obtained fron KL-R£ mass difference.
Summing up we consider the coupling (5.1) and (5.4).
After the gauge _ transformation (4. 12),.a rescaling "*••* x+F*
and a redefinition iK •> RL <l>, tie get the couplings of Eqs
<5.2)-(5.3) and Table 2.
We can now construct an. effective charged and neutral
current hani 1 toman. In particular
where a,X,c can be expressed ia tern of A,B,C,D. In order
to understand possible low' energy effects we performed the
following analysis.
He-used the numerical values of Gj.,e, X=-.22 to fix
g,i',f- Then we analyzed how the standard >odel predictions
are altered for different value* of g" and a (equivalently
Mv) .
For instance using (g/js")Z=l/20 we present in Table 3
the prediction* for £M^/H^, J4M|/M|;P-1 and c for different
values of b and Mv. Here p is the neutral to charged current
ratio.
The conclusion is that the aodel predicts relatively
133
small deviations from the S.M. for relatively small Basses
of the new vector bosons V .
In particular the relation
is substituted by :
In Figure 1 the predictions of the node} for differentn
values of the ratio (g/g")~ are reported.

Preliminary results are reported from the Irvine Neutrino
Oscillation Experiment. This is an electron-antineutrino
disappearance experiment at a reactor, and is sensitive to mass
squared differences in the range -.02 to ~6. eV
1. Introduction
This report gives preliminary results from the University ofCalifornia, Irvine (UCI! Neutrino Oscillations Experiment. Wehave constructed and installed a detector in our Savannah RiverPlant (SRP) Neutrino Laboratory. The detector is designed to bemovable, and can, with relative ease, be positioned at anydistance from the reactor core between about 18 and 50 meters.The neutrino flux at the closest position is approximately1013/cm2/sec.
a single detector, measuring the neutrino spectra from the samereactor, at various distances from the core, avoids many of theproblems associated with reactor and detector systematics whichwere possible in early experiments.
2. The Reactor as a Neutrino Source
Power reactors, used in most other (reactor) neutrino oscillationexperiments, produce neutrinos from the fission of significantfractions of each of the isotopes 2 3 5 0 , 2 3 8 U , and 2 3 9Pu. The
neutrino spectrum of each component is different. At the SRP
production reactor, 23SPu produces less than 8% of the fissions,
and 2 3 8U less than 4%. As a result, for energies between 2 and 8
MeV, the difference from a pure 2 3 5U neutrino spectrum is less
than 1.5%.
3. A Disappearance Experiment
The detector is designed to observe neutrinos vie the inverse
beta reaction:
v. + p •+ e + ns
Since the neutrino energy is less than 10 MeV, the reaction is
nonrelativistic, and the positron kinetic energy is:
E e + = S-^ - <Mn - Mp + ae) - E w - 1.8 MeV
A measurement of the positron spectrum is thus a measurement of
the neutrino spectrum.
If the vo changes to another neutrino type, the new neutrino will
be below its inverse beta threshold, and thus be unobservable. A
reactor experiment is, therefore, a disappearance experiment: a
deficiency in the v signal is expected if oscillations occur.
4. The Detector
A schematic of the detector is shown in figure 1. The target is
300 liters of NE313, a xylene based scintillator loaded with 0.5%
gadolinium. This scintillator provides pulse shape information,
distinguishing between lightly and heavily ionizing particles
(positrons and protons). The gadolinium provides fast, high
efficiency neutron detection. The target is surrounded by 1100
liters of a mineral oil based scintillator, divided into two
volumes. Each volume is viewed by a large number of
145
photomultiplier tubes (PMT'e). The detector is surrounded by two
inches of low background lead, a three incn thick plastic
scintillator anticoincidence, and finally, eight inches of
additional lead. Room is provided for additional neutron
shielding (B or Cd).
An electron antineutrino from the reactor can interact with a
target proton. The resultant positron stops and promptly
annihilates. Each 0.5 MeV annihilation gamma ray has a high
probability of depositing its energy in the liquid
scintillator. The neutron, with kinetic energy of tens of KeV,
quickly thermalizes and is captured with a characteristic time of
10 us, by a Gd nucleus. The resultant ~ 8 MeV of gamma rays are
detected with high efficiency. The signature cf an inverse beta
event is then Fig. 1.):
a. a pulse in the target with an electron pulse shape and
between 1.8 and 8 MeV, and,
b. A second pulse within ~ 15 us for which the sum of
target and blanket energies exceeds ~ 4 MeV.
With the efficiencies and thresholds discussed below, we expect
an event rate of ~ 500 per day at 18.3 meters. At 50 meters the
expected rate is ~ 70 per day.
5. Detector Characteristics
a. Energy Resolution:
We have measured energy resolution of the Target and Blanket
detectors using various sources. The results can be expressed as
follows:
"target " °'12
and
• 146
• 0 . 20 / E (MeV)
b. Detector Efficiencies:
Monte Carlo simulation of the detector properties have been made
and give the positron and neutron detection efficiencies.
Integrated over the expected energy spectrum, the positron
detection efficiency, with a threshold energy of 1.8 MeV is found
to be ~0.7. The delayed neutron efficiency with a gamma
threshold of 4 MeV is found to also be ~0.7. Experimental
measurements of these quantitites verify the results of the Monte
Carlo.
c. Neutron Capture Time:
The neutron capture time also enters into the overall detection
efficiency. This is measured with various neutron sources and is
found to be ~ 10 us, in agreement with the Monte Carlo, and with
direct calculations.
6. analysis methods
V?e plan to treat our data in two fashions:
a. The experimental results will be compared to combined
theoretical^- and experimental- determinations of the reactor
neutrino spectrum. (This technique suffers from the possibility
that any observed deficiencies can be due to inaccuracies in the
predicted spectra, or to systematic uncertainties in the detector
calibration. Conclusions are thus limited). This analysis will
not be further described in this preliminary report.
b. The spectra measured at different distances from the reactor
core will be compared, giving conclusions relatively free of
detector systematics, and in so far as the reactor fuel content
is (on average) constant, independent of the source, spectra.
7. Preliminary Results
We have taken data at two distances from the reactor core, 18.2
and 23.7 meters:
a. 18.2 Meter Data:
Approximately 40,000 neutrino events were collected at the first
position. Figure 2 shows the observed energy spectrum. The
corresponding positron spectrum is obtained using
EOBS = E e + + 0.75 MeV
(The terir. 0.75 MeV is the Monte Carlo determined fractional
positron annihilation gamma energy collected by the target
detector.)
b. 23.7 Meter Data:
Figure 3 shows the corresponding spectrum for the -10,000 events
collected thus far at the 23.7 meter position. We expect to take
~40,000 at this location, to have equal statistical significance
at both measured postions.
The integrated rates, greater than 1.8 MeV (observed energy),
normalized for power variations and solid angle difference gives
the ratio for position 1 and position 2 the value 1.038 +0.020.
A ratio of unity is expected in the absence of oscillations.
Figure 4 shows the ratio of the data' for the two positions,
normalized for power and solid angle, along with the null
hypothesis (ratio equal to unity) and the ratio value from the2 2
Bugey Experiment (Am =0.20, sin 26 - 0.24),
We test the null hypothesis with the observed ratios for each of
the n energy bins. The result is i » 39 for 29 degrees of
freedom. A similar test for the Bugey prediction gives *2 = 45.
Our preliminary analysis thus offers little support for the Bugey
result, and favors the absence of oscillations. A full 40,000
U8
event sample at position two should greatly improve the test.
The addition of data from other points will, likewise, produce a
more restrictive result.
The conclusions of our experiment can also be presented as an
exclusion region in the parameter space of delta m^ and
sin22e. The results of this analysis are shown in figure 5. The
region to the right of the OCI curve is excluded at the 95%
confidence level (2 sigma). With the larger event sample now
being collected, we can expect the exclusion region to grow to
include smaller values of sin 26.
Also shown in figure 5 are the regions of parameter space allowed
by the Bugey experiment, and the region excluded by the Goesgen
experiment*. Note that this latter group expresses their result
as a 90% confidence limit, i.e., an exclusion at 1.6 sigma, while
the Bugey allowed region has a 3 sigma significance. Neither CJCI
nor Goesgen has as yet ruled out the full range of allowed
solutions based on Bugey.
The Goesgen group has also done the absolute analysis (referred
to i. section 6a above), comparing their spectra with a
prediction derived from the theoretically and experimentally
determined neutrino spectra of the various fuel isotopes in their
reactor. The analysis rules out the allowed Bugey region. The
exclusion however, is again only a 1.6 sigm'a limit, and is
subject to the errors in the predicted spectra and to detector
and reactor systematics, especially normalization.
7. The Future
We expect to continue to operate our detector for several more
years, collecting samples of equal significance at three or more
positions. Selection of these distances is now under study using
Monte Carlo techniques.
A data sample at 50 meters would improve our limiting values of2 0
sin 20 and delta m* by factors of ~ 3 and ~ 2 respectively.
However, because of the reduced flux at such a great distance
from the reactor core, the data sample would require a counting
period of about two years.

APRON PRODUCTION AND SEARCH FOR NEW PARTICLES AT DESY
L. Criegee
DESY, Hamburg. FRG
Abst-c.-t Recent results from e+e~ experiments at DESY in the fields of T decays,inclusive particle production, fragmentation mechanisms, and search for New Particlesare reported.
1. T Decayt
1.1 T(25) -> x* T(1S)New measarements of the decays
T{25) - n r V T(15} (1)+ (2)
have bees performed by the Crystal Ball collaboration / I / . Isospin isvariance predictsa ratio of 0.S3 between the two channels. In theory the reaction is described as theemission of two ghioss which then fragment into pions (see /Z-4/). Because of the lowenergy the first step is treated by a mnltipole expansion of the colour field strengths,while the second one can be derived from PCAC and current algebra.
Out of 190000 T(2S) decays 90 events of (1) were selected, with the T(15) identifiedby its ft+fi~ or e+e~ decay. The extracted branching fraction is
BR ( T(2S) - jf°jr°T{iS) ) = (8.0 ± 1.5) % ,
consistent with an earlier measurement of CUSB / 5 / . The invariant r°r° mass dis-tribution shown in fig. I is distinctly different from phase space (dashed curve), andpeaks towards high mass values as expected from the theoretical descriptions. ( /2 / ./ 3 / , / 4 / all leading to the solid curve, if their'parameters are adjusted as shown inref. / I / . ) The data are consistent with an isotropic production of the ff°sr° system,and with its spin being sero.
The Crystal Ball collaboration has also analysed 169 events of the jr+r~ decay (2).The invariant mass and angular distributions are consistent with those observed inthe jr0*0 mode. Parameters for the TT+T~ invariant mass spectra are also consistentwith those obtained by the LENA, GLEO, CUSB aud ARGUS collaborations /5,G/.
156
The ratio of the branching fractions is [iro*o]/l*+x~j = 0.47 ± 0.11, consistent withthe value 0.53 expected lor an 1=0 assignment of the TJT system, and therefore withisospin invarianee of the reaction.
1.3 T(2S) -> P StatesThe Crystal Ball collaboration has also reported new measurements of the radiativedecays of the T(2S) to the P-states. Inclusive measurements /7 / yield the energiesand branching fractions of the three photon lines, and one combined line for theP -> T(15) cascades, all consistent with those of other experiments. A tentative spinassignment of the P-states can be made by noting that the branching fractions ofEl transitions are ~ (2J+1)- E*. The measurements are indeed consistent with theassignment of J=2,l,0, respectively, to the x" (HO keV), x" (130 keV) and x1 (160keV)-Iine, in analogy to the order of the P-states of charmoainm.
Direct spin assignments were derived from the analysis of the complete 77 decaycascades to the T ground state /8/ . The Crystal Hall collaboration extracted from200000 T(25) decays 66 events of the cascade T(2S) -• ixa - • 7iT(lS) ~+ 77^7",and 71 of the cascade through the xf state. (The x 7 nas too large a total width toshow a liveable radiative decay.) Various spin assignments were then compared usingthe logarithmic likelihood for N events:
A fwhere W ; is the correlated distribution (= probability density) in the angles of thefirst and second photon, and of the recoil T(1S) for the ntH event, as expected for spini. Fig. 2a shows the measured value ^Z^'n(Wo) = —0.17 for the J='O assignmentto the xa state. For comparison the figure also displays the (Gaussian-distributed)expectations for a series of Monte Carlo 'experiments' generated with J=0,l,2, alltested for consistency with J=0. It is evident that the probability for a spin zerostate to produce the observed value is very low (0.2%), meaning that J=0 caa beexduded with hijjh confidence level (99.8%). As shown in fig. 2b, the assignmentof spin terc to toe x" s""-«e sa 2 t i" 'es=I probable (10~'% C.L.). So neither stati: iscompatible v--ith J==0.
Aitboairh Sgs. 2<i, b indicate a preference for the assignments Jo=2, J«=l, theydo not exclude the opposite seo.uence. This can better be done by considering thelogarithmic likelihood for the combined assignment ( J a =i , J/j=2) and comparing its.gsin with a series of Monte Carlo experiments. As shown in fig. 3, the combination(0^=1, J»=2) is improbable, 0.6% confidence level, acd the assignments Jo=2, 3g=lare therefore strongly prefssTed.
It should be noted that the exclusion of the spin assignments Jo=0, JJJ=O doe* notdepend on any specific assumptions about the multipotarity oj the 7 radiation, whilethe assignments J<,=2, J^=l make use of the (natural) assumption of El transitions,and of both spins being different.

2. Incimlve Particle Production
2.X K\J_The TASSO collaboration has reported new data oo Inclusive K° and A production/10/ . A comparison with earlier measuremeeeEf of *• and p production shows that thefragmentation features do not depend on strangeness: < pr >«-o «s < pj- >» and< Pr > A « < Pr >p' The observe;! rates are of coarse lower, and caa be explainedby a reduced probability of producing it p&irs from the sea, as compared toquarks

2.3 pc. K*The JADE coBtboration has reported new measarementa of the inclasrve productionof the vector mesons pz and K* jllj. Together with published dsta on the jr. K, D*and D production they allow an investigation of the pseudoscalar/vector productionratio ia the fragmeatatioa process. This ratio is predicted from spin soantiag to bei . but should be larger if the differences of the messes My, Mps are considered. TheJADE collaboratiou finds afi measurements consistent with
2 ^ 7, *"The JADE collaboration also presented new measuremects on inclusive 7 and x°production /12/ . The invariant ir° spectra agree with the r + sad t~ data over allthe accessible x-range. The observed photon spectrum agrees quantitatively with thatexpected from the dominating r° decay, initial state radiation., n decay, and probablya small contribution of final state radiation. To study this last contribution whichwould be dne to radiating quarks, the JADE collaboration selected a smaD eventsample with well isolated photons which have a low probability of originating- fromdecays (ftp. 4). After subtraction of the estimated decays and initial state radiationthey are left with 56 ± 22 events, consistent with the expected 41 i 5 from quarkbremsstr&hhing.

a.4 F, F*Tbe ARGUS collaboration has analysed new data oa F meson production identifiedby the decays into 4>x and <*SJT / I S / , and obtained a more precise F mass value:
mr = 1973.6 ± 2.6 ± 3.0 Af eV .
Tbe fragmentation function for inclusive F production was found to be 'medium soft1:
The ARGUS collaboration also found clear evidence for the vector meson F* in thedecay mode r - • F i •* d>m as shown in fig. 5 /14 / . They report the massmr- = 2109 ± 9 ± 7MeV, and the mass difference mr * —mr — 144± S>i 7 MeV,in agreement with preliminary values from the TPC collaboration /IB/.
i& 5" (1530), n -The ARGUS collaboration used the particle identification potential of their detectorand tbe large accumulated luminosity in the T range for sa extensive study at inclusivehypwon production. The identiScation of the heavier baryons is based on £6000reconstructed A's, o factor of 10 more than previously available in e+e~ experiments.They led to (690 ± 47) 3~ -» Aff~ and, for the first time, a signal of decoupletbaryons, namely (132 ± 26) 3°(1530) — = ~ r + (fig. 6 ) and an indication of (42 ±14) fl~ —»AK~ decays (ail preliminary, analysis in progress).
2.6 AntideuterontBased on dE/dx measurements the ARGuS collaboration found six oncidetiterons andfurther verified them either by a mass determination via TOF, or by their annihilationpattern /16/ . Fig. 7 shows that the invariant cross section is at least two orders ofmagnitude lower than that extrapolated from pions, fcaons or antiprotons. The ratio{AV/A>-) / (Aj/AV-) s is similar to the oae observed in hadron-hadron collisions,suggesting in both cases the formation of the S from p and n which were producedclose in phase space.
S. Fragmentation McchanEgma
S.I Fragmentation aad Branching Model*The three-jet events Srst observed at PETRA aro a convincing indication of an under-lying hard pan on topolog)', like a qusrk-antiquark-giuon system. For a quantitativeanalysis of this underlying- system, and a precise determination of the quark-giuoncoupling constant a, it becomes increasingly important to understand the transitioncf such parton systems into observable hadron topologies.
In addition to the weU-knowi. phenomcnological fragmentation models, like the
I.F. independent fragmentation models /17 / in which each hard parton fragmentsindependently into hadrons, and the
161
LUND string fragmentation model / IS/ ia which the colour strings stretched be-tween the quarks aad the fiaou fragment in th'ir CM system into hadrons,leading to similar observable 3-jet structures.
PAH.TON-BR.ANCHING models have bees developed in which the partous degradeby successive jrfuon emission (which is treated in the le&dinfj-Jog approximation of per-tcrbative QCD). Hadron formation occurs at the end through Shs decsy of iow-mas3(col;>itt~neutrai) parton clusters. Several Monte Carlo modeis have been developed/19/. of which the one far Gottschafc can be readily compared with experiments. Asnoticed by several authors /20/. however, the 3ofi-g!uon ?adiatioa into large sagleshas to be treated coherently, and largely cancels by intsrfereace . This has been siin-aJssed in Webber's Moste Carlo jiij h? cot aUoviaj any giaon omission &ng-!e to befexger than the preceding oce. As shows below, this ordering cf the emissioc sagtesSeads to distinct effects on the hsdrea level.
It is wei! known that tht I.F. aad the LUND model dejeribe rnost inclusive dbrr:-butioos of charged particle* equally weE, provided that suitable (me&siag 10 - 50%different) values of a, are osed. Figs. 8g and 8h demonstrate this for two typi-cal distributions measured wiib high statistics by the TASSO coiiaboration /22/. Adistinction between the models has so far only been achieved through the study ofspecial distributions within 3-jet eveat3, aad the use of charged plus centra! particlesfor improved accuracy.
S.3 Energy Flow Between Jet«The JADE collaboration has stndied the energy and particle flow in selected planarevents. Fijr. 9 shows the 'antenna pattens' of the energy and particle Sov projectedinto the event plane. The events are superimposed such that the most anergretic jetpoints to iero degTees, and the 2ni ead &Tt energetic one foiiow towerds positive an-gles. The remarkable featare is s strong dip between the sc-de3ned first and secondjet. An earlier JADE paper /2S/ had demonstrated that the I.P. models fail to repro-duce this dip, while the LUND model explained ii qualitatively through the absenceof a colour string between the two quirk jets, and also quantitatively. Accordta?to a recent investigation at the JADE collaboratioa /24/ also the Gottschalk model(dotted carve) does sot reproduce the observed depletion, while the Webber modelpredicts it very weB. As s measure of the particle depletion the ratio between thelevels of tbe third (3-1) and the first dip (1-2) is shows is 8g. 10. This depletionratio is seen to be ~ 7/5 for unseiected particles, and even higher for selected particlemasses or momenta p°*! (out of the event plane]. The figure demonstrates that theGottschalk and two typical I.E. models yield hardly any depletion effect at all, whileboth the LUND string model and the Webber branching Monte Carlo predict theobservations very well.
S.S Particle Momenta latide Jet»The dependence of the depletion on the particle masses can he explained, in tbecontext of the LUND mode!, ss aa effect of the Loreatt transformation of the itadronafrom the strings' CM to tbe LAB system. This transformation also affects hadronsinside the jets such that the me&n angles of the relativistk hadrons follow the origins!
162
partoa directions, while those of the slow ones deviate.
The PLUTO collaboration has studied this effect usiag the so-csiled weighted jetsaojnest*. ia which the fcadron momenta # are weighted with 6 factor Iftj""1 beforethe sttinm&tioa over the jet. Fig. 11 shows as RE example the lateral shift Apr of theweighted momentum of jet no. 2 sa a functioa of the power n, with the nubias'-^ jotmomentum (n=ii as reference /2b/. The shift is seen to be distinctly different fromi.sro for larger Hi and well reproduced by the LUND and Webber inodei, while theGottschalk aad particularly the I.F. models fail.
Tbe JADE collaboration has instead studied the mean lateral shift oi tbe hadroBmomenta as a function of the longitudinal momentum, with the jet axis as reference/2</. The observed shifts shown in flp. 22 are significantly different from £ero, and
weli described by tb.1 i'.UND aad Webber models, while the others fail.
The effects which have been established here mean that the jet sad the average hadrondirections differ in genera: from those of the origiaal fast psrtoua, and that one hasto be careful ia deducing the partoas' kinematics from those of the jets, in particularin the case of the steep angular distributions typical of gluon radiation.
3.4 AteewmentSince the Webber mode! is successful in describing these aad also many other hadrondistributions /25/, and 8ince it contains fewer atlitrary parameters than the squallysuccessful LUND model, it seems to be a highly favoured too! for analysing hardpartca reactions.
Unfortunately, however, this model has one particular deficiency which ma&es it un-suitable for this kind of analysis: The basic matrix qqg matrix element is truncatedto allow the LLA summation, and underestimates the (fe-,v) hard giuoss emitted atlarge iugies which determine the number of distinct 3-jet events. As an example, theasymmetry of tbe energy-energy correlation, which for several reasons is consideredone of the least model-depcndect quantities for determining' a, /26/, is reproduceda factor of two lower than expected /24 - 28/. So, until this deficiency can be cured,the more phenomenological LUND model will remain the best choice for correlatingthe jet aad parton kinematics.
4. Search for New Partlclei
4.1 SUSY Particle*The status of the search for SUSY particles was reported by S. Komamiya atWarsaw Symposium, and has sot changed significantly since.
4.2 ^fractional ChargesThe ARGUS collaboration has looked at the specific ionisatioa dE/dx of ~ S-10' neg-ative charged particles produced in > 2-prong events around 10 GeV CM energy (pos-itive tracks are contaminated by p and x + from beam-gas and beam-wall interactions,and therefore less useful) /2S/. Two search regions were defined, as indicated in %.
163
13: One for relativist* fractionally charged particles, 0.4 < {dE/dx}/{dEfdx)mHt <0.6, and one for bearily ionising object*.
•In the first region, no event was observed. The Kcond region contained 35 candi-dates, of which t were identified af i {reported above), 18 as overlapping ee and 1 asoverlapping rir, leaving no exotic objects.Fig. 14 shows t ie resulting limit* on the production cross section at Q » £, Jand J objects expressed a* the ratio R, to the prodsetkm of p+n~. The dashed linesassume a phase-space like production speetmn ~ ir*(E, the solid ones the exponentialdistribution normally observed in jet production by e+e~.
4 J Tb» f (8.8)The Crystal Ballcollaboration bad obserred in 100000 T(1S) decays, collected in 1983,a statistically significant resoaaace aroosd 1070 MeV photos energy, correspondingto a transition to a narrow state at 8.3 GeV fi&j. Daring 1984 nev data with twicethe statistics were collected /30 / , yielding (after the sane cuts) the photon spectrumshown in fig. IS. In contrast to the previous enhancement of 87 ± 21 events, a slightdip is observed at the same energy, corresponding to — 20 ± 20 events. A carefulcomparison of the calibrations and other features showed ao systematic differenceswhich could explain the appearance and disappearance of the effect. Only a sEghtljrhigher cross section was noticed in the 1984 data, indicating a mecbise energy shift o»~ 4 MeV towards the center of the T resonac.ce. Upon this Tye and Rosenleid / S i /conjectured the existence of a second resonance dose to the T, which did sot producethis photon transition, while the T did. The Crystal Ball collaboration considers thisexplanation to be unlikely, and rather attributes the appearance of the photon Useto a statistical ftnctnation. Some erratic behavioor of the enhancement a* a functionof the cats applied supports this view.
The 1984 data result it as upper Emit
BR (T - T € ( 8 . 3 ) ) < 0.08% at 90% CJL..
This a lower than other Ikaits /C/ given on the product
BR (T -» 7*(8.3)) • BR{(~ r + f ) < 0.08% at 80S C.L..
One should note that the predicted braftcbisg ratio for the T decay into a siandwdHiggs boson of 8.J GeV is of order 0.01%. So the givea fimit» do not exclude theexistence of a Higgs as such in this mans range. It appears however qefle unlikelythat, if it exists, it can be discovered with the described experimental technique
4.4 Search for MocoJeUEvents with only one energetic jet have been reported by the UA1 collaboration at theCBRN pp collider /32 / . A possible explanation was given by Glasbov and Manohar/ & / who suggested an extension of the standard model to include four Higgs bosonsof which the first, ha

We give a review of the ful l virtual ar.a soft radiative corrections tothe two-photon reaction e e~ •• e e~X where X i s a pointl ike pseudo scalarparticle. We find that the effect o i the non-peripheral diagraas i s ne-gl igible so that this class of graphs can be ignored in a l l two-photonreactions.
176
The most general two photon reaction is given by the process (fig. 1)
e. e_ —%• c e.
where X stands for any hadronic or dileptonic state. These processes are
very interesting since they enable us to test some of the predictions of
perturbative and non-perturbative QCD. In particular we want to mention
the measurement of the photon structure function'1 and the possibility
of observing glue balls' in the YV channel. Knowledge of a pure QED re-
action like e.g. e e -* e % u u is useful because it can be used to
calibrate cross sections for those processes containing hadrons in the
final state. At this moment the data for this process' ' are in good agree-
ment with the theoretical predictions obtained from the lowest-order con-
tributions1 ' {fig. 2). This indicates that the radiative corrections ' '
are still smaller than the experimental errors. This situation may change
if the accuracy of the experiments improves. In two photon physics the ra-
diative corrections car. be divided ir. four categories:
(i) Corrections due to the e~e~i vertices, also called peripheral correc-
tions; they include the contribution frota the photon self-energy
diagram (fig. 3a,bi.
;ii.' Photon exchanges between the electron and the positron (fig. 3c,d).
;iii; Corrections inside the yy final state (fig. 3e,f).
(ivj Photon exchanges between the YY final state and the in- or outgoing
electron or positron (fig. 3g/h).
There exist several calculations of category U) in the literature.
However, they were performed via approximation methods like the Weiszacker
177
Williams or the (double) equivalent photon approximation iD.E.P.A.<. This
means that their predictive power is only limited to tJie small t. = q.

integrals watch lead to accurate results in all regions of jr.hase space. ' '
Further one has coaput^d the sum cf the real and virtual photor. contribu-
tions in such a way that a minimum cf co!i£"-ter time is needed. v"' ' There-
fore the final expression is suitable for ar. event aenerator. Finally methods19''
have been found to compute higher order one loop N-point functions which
enable us to calculate the non-peripheral contributions in category i: and
iv. In the sequal we shall concentrate on the last two points. Befor*
presenting our results it is very useful to give an order of xtiagmruat esti-
mate of the radiative corrections due to category <i;-(iv). Here We shall
follow the analysis in ref. 10 which is based on the presence or absence
of mass singularities appearing in physical quantities like cross-jections
and decay rates. This enables us to predict the powers j of terms like
lnJ s/m , In - t./» if s, -1. >> m which are typical for radiative cor-
rections.
The rules which determine these logarithmic power corrections car. be
summarized as follows. In the axial gauge a Feymaan graph with 3 pairs of
k "'
identical propagators behaves like In a" if one integrates over k pro-
pagator momenta (provided j-k £ 0). Bence the total and single differential
cross sections corresponding to the lowest order graph behave usymptotxcaliy
C s , - ^ » a^) like
ii. Fig. 2 (2;
respectively.
178
For categories ;i)-(iv) the corresponding results are
Fig. 3c,d (4)
JL Fig. 3g,h (6)
Thfc results above suggest that only the peripheral diagrams belonging to
class (i can provide us with an appreciable correction since we expect
(4 "j -Us -JU. (7)
For LEP with >'s = 100 GeV and t » -100 GeV we obtain io - 5 % and
A(<3c/dt; - 4-5 i. However, these estinates have to be taken with caution
since they only apply for asymptotic values of the kinematical variables.
We will see later that for realistic experimental values of the variables
the results of the above estimates and the exact calculation differ appre-
ciably from each other. This can be traced back to the omission of power
corrections and non-logarithmic constants. Also the coefficient of the
leading logarithms in the corrections can be aoallcr than the one found
179
in the lowest order cross section so that the extra logarithm is partially
compensated. The above analysis can be improved since the coefficients of
the In a2 terms are determined by the anomalous dimensions appearing in the
operator product expansion. In order to compare the above predictions with
the exact results we have chosen as an exasple the siaplest two photon
process where X stands for a pointlifce pseudo-scalar of which the lowest
order contribution is shown in fig. 1.
In the calculation of the radiative corrections we have to split
the cross section a in a hard photon psurt a (A), a soft photon part o <&,X)a a
and the virtual contribution c,,(*>. Here A denotes the upper and lower bound
in the s integration (see fig. 3b) of o and e respectively. X is the infra-
red regulator which appears in c and o . The soft contribution is calculated
in the following way
(8)
where dPS denotes the rwaining integration* and F U V, n are indicated in
fig. 3b. In the last step of eq. 8 the intagration over d», and dys have
been interchanged so that we have neglected the s, dependence in FVV and
in the kinenatical boundaries of d?S. The error cade .in the i n o-o +os+o
is of the order of a power eerie* in (&-m ) / • -It can be miniolzad if we

which are of the order la(4-ii^)/»^ ,betwecn o^ and » s+o y. Therefore it will
take a lot of raejuter tins to achiere numerically accurate results unless
we •Intwire the erroe cadei above doe to the iatercnawje of integration* la
180
eq. 8. In order to compromise between the exact calculation (line 4 in
fig. 4) and the standard eiJconal approximation (line 1 in fig. 4) we have
performed tile interchange of integration for the pole part of ttf only
2 2 •
which has the form W (s =m )/(s, -si > (see line'3 in tig. 4). In this
way we can take a reasonable large value, for A and still achieve an accu-
rate numerical result for e » oH(A)+Js(i,X)+cv(X).
In the case of the peripheral contribution we obtain the following
results. The corrections to the total cross section are given in fig. 5.
They are of the order of 1 % - 2 % whereas the estimate is about 5 %.• This
discrepancy is due to the fact that the vertex and the electron, self energy
contribution cancel the real photon part almost completely leaving the
hadronic and leptonic part of the photon vacuum polarization to account
for the total correction. The contribution of the vacuum polarization gives
even a stronger enhancement to the differential cross section do/dt. (see
fig. 6). Therefore the result at t^ - -100 GeV2 (about 6 %) is in rather
good agreement with our estimate below eq. 7 (about 5 % ) .
From th« estimates in eq. A we cannot expect a noticeable contribution
from the non-peripheral diagrams. Nevertheless we have computed them in
order to see whether there are some regions in phase space where they can
become large. The computation of the diagrams corresponding to this class
is rather awkward and we will give a short sketch of their calculation.{10)
Cancelling the nuoeratar terms the virtual diagram (fig. 3c) can be re-
duced in scalar 5,4,3,2 and 1 point functions. The five point function can
be reduced to five four point functions by either using the procedure given
in ref. 9 or the projective transformation method in rcf. 12. After the re-
181
duction we find 112 different Spence-functions which are evaluated on a
•CYBER 173 coqputer so that one evaluation of the matrix element (single
precision) takes about 40 ms.. In the case of the real photon contribution
we have only included the soft part determined in the frame work of the
eikonal approximation. Introducing a cut off in the soft brcmsstrahlung
integral of s. < (m -Ku) (fc < u and u « 5-m ) and adding the virtual and
soft contributions we obtain the following results. For./s » 100 Gev (LEP
energy) we gat a correction of -O.002 % (M « 0.135 GeV) and -0.004 %
(ML - 1.5 GeV) respectively. Our estinate on the basis of eg.. 4 was about
O.Ol^t. Therefore these .corrections arc extremely snail in comparison with
the non peripheral ones which are 1.55 % and 2.15 % respectively. For'the
4 2
single differential distribution we get Ado/dt » -1 % at t :. - -10 SeV .
Since do/dt, ~ 1.2 pb/GeV this correction will be unobserveble. For smaller
ti this nunber will bacooc even saallar. Fin&lly we obtain for the double
differential, distribution the result 4d2o/dt.*t, = 5-10 % whan t. and t.
are larger than 10J GtV . However for t > 10 Gafir the cross section is
0.4 pb which is about 10~4 of the lowest order total cross section so that
in this region this correction also becaoe* unobservable. The above results
will becooa even — » H e r if X It a milti-particle state or a haaror. (forn
factor).
Snwirisxng our findings we conclude:
i) The contribution of the nonparlgheral diagram (class ii) to the radia-
tive correction can be completely naglacfd. The saae holds for the
class iv graphs. This result iaplies that two-photon processes are facto-
rixable to a high degree of accuracy.
182
ii) The peripheral, graphs are the dominant ones. However, the correction
to the total cross section is small at LEP energies (about 2 %) so
that for future experiments only the corrections to do/dt. (t. - -100 GeV
L do/dt. ~ 6 %) may be relevant.

In 1982 European Ruon Collaboration (QIC) discovered' ' that except
of the known nuclear shadowing effect and the Ferni motion of nucleons
in a nucleus the momentum distribution of quarks in bounded nucleons in
a nucleus is softened comparing with the one in a free nucleon. By
reanalyzing their empty target data of deep inelastic electron scatte-
ring in the early 70 's SIAC group soon confined this discovery. '
Why is the aonentua distribution of quark Moving to the lover region
in nuclei? A coranon explanation is that the quarks in nuclei nove in a
larger confinement size than those in a free nucleon ' '. Based on the
uncertainty principle argument including also the additional gluon
bremsstrahlung due to a lower cut off in the larger confinement size
F.E. Close et al.' ' have related a •oaentun scale change ^ which
gives the softened aoaentuu distribution of quarks to the change of the
confinement size R as follows:
(1)
• The talk is based on work* ia refs. |5| aid |C|
188
where F * and F_N are structure functions for a bounded nucleon in the
nucleus A and for a free nucleon, respectivelyi RA and Ro are the
corresponding confinement sizes.
But, eq.(1) did not answer the^following question: what is. the
physical picture for this enlargement of the confinement size? If a
certain picture is introduced, are there other physical factors
accompanying with the change of the confinement size, which should also
influence the EMC effect, or show other physical results? Now I will
give an analysis for two main pictures.
The first one. Nucleons in a nucleus are very close to each other.
There are certain possibilities that two nucleons collapse into one
cluster which, of course, has a larger quark confinement size. Usually
it is assumed that the 6-q cluster is twice larger and heavier than a
single nucleon. This gives it confinement size fz tines larger. Based on
the nonentuii scale change idea F.E.Close it a L ' have got ?•. is about
2 for iron. For eq.(1) they obtained the corresponding enlargement of
the confinement size of 0.15. This is a quite large change if you think
of the corresponding confinement volume change of 0.52. To give such a
large effect about 58% nucleons in iron nucleus should be changed to 6-q
clusters.
On the other hand, based on the same physical picture C.E.Carlson et
al. and many other* considered other factors which were not included
in Close's description. A «-q cluster has 6 valance quarks and the *ass
of it is twice heavier than the »«s of a nucleon. The change of the
quark number will increase the nuabcr of spectator quarks for each
process froa »# to n'o-a^+ 3. The counting factor in the structure
function then becomes
789
The aass change will change the variable
(3)
where X is the usual B. variable. Considering these two factors Carlson
et al. have fitted EMC data with the enlargement of the confinement
volume of 0.1B which is auch smaller than Close's value 0.52. The proba-
bility of forming 6-q cluster is now 30% also much scalier chan Close's
value 58%. But the correspond™g momentum scale change is not considered
in their work.
According to our opinion ' ' once the physical picture of forming
soae 6-q clusters or any other similar clusters is accepted, the factors
of the aoaentua scale change and the increase of the quark nunber and of
the nass in the cluster should be considered at the same tine. Assusmg
the average confinement volume in a nucleus A, v -(1+ A.iv , where vA A o C
is the voluae of a free nucleon, considering the three factors to : ner,
namely the changes of the momentum scale, of the number of spectator
quarks and of the mass in the changed confinement volume the following
three equations are obtained:
(4)
By adjusting parameters A A a systematic fitting to SIAC data has been
made' and the retrelt is shown in fig.l with parameters listed in
table 1. For comparison Close's result with only the momentum scale
190
change and Carlson's result with only the quark number change and the
mass change are given in the same table. It can be seen clearly, with
all three factors putting together the necessary change of the
confinement volume to explain the EMC effect is considerably smaller. In
fact, for iron our fitting gives A p e » 0.14 and J F e« 1.23 which corres-
ponds to the probability of forming 6-q clusters p « 24% , while Close
et al. Give "$_ * 2.02 corresponding to p - S8t and Carlson et al. have
A = 0.18 with p - 30*.
Now let us turn to the second physical picture. It is assumed that
the volume of each nucleon in a nucleus would become larger due to the
existance of surrounding nucleons. The quarks moving inside the enlarged
nucleon then feel a larger confinement size. We have given an physical
explanation of this r.udeon volume change based on the soli ton bag
model by T.D.Lee. In the eoliton bag model a phenontenological scalar
field (TIE introduced to describe the color dielectric property of the
vacuum. The color dielectric constant K is related to 0* field by
0" — <r»o- *) , (5)The effective potential Vim per unit volume is shown in fig.2.
ff "0~IK«C> corresponds tc the physical vacuum with v(0")" o. Inside the
nucleon bag 0"s0(K*l) and v(ff«0) = Bo. The energy difference B inside
and outside tht bag is tne pressure on the bag surface. Bat, conside-
ring one nucleon bag in a nucleus around it is a distorted vacuum with
(A-l) other nucleon bags embedded in. Sine* there is no precise method
to describe this multiply connected region consisting of domains with
two different Cvaiu*», we introduce an effective dielectric constant
K A > o for' the region surrounding a given nucleon bag.
The ctfectiWt C-fi«ld is 0^ < 0\, • which gives a smaller pressure on
191
the oaa surface: B r- A B . isee fig.2). The corresponding sag size of s
bounded nucieon is therefore enlarged. In fact. Close's worn with only
the momentum scale change included can be explained by this picture
instead of the 6-q cluster model. The corresponding volume change of s
bounded nucieon in iron should be 0.52.
On the other hand, according to the bag model when the size of the
bag is enlarged, the mass of it should become smaller. In the first
order approximation
(6)M «*• '/ft .
The E. variable becomes larger, which makes the plot of the structure
function v.s. original B_. variable shrinked and gives EMC effect.
K.Staszel et al. have done a work along this line ' giving a volume
change of 20% for a bounded nucieon in iron and the mass of it about
0.94 Mo with Me the mass of a free nucieon. But. the momentum scale
change is not included in their work.
Combining the two factors together: the bounded nucieon vith a
larger volume has a smaller mass and the momentum scale should be
changed, the necessary volume change of the nucieon is only 6* to
explain the EMC effect in an iron target. This is again much smaller
than Close's estimate ( 52%).
It is impossible to tell which physical picture is more reasonable
only by EMC effect. Besides, even for the same picture different con-
siderations give quite different physical results. To judge the two
pictures people are looking for other experimental support* for each of
them. There art some strange phenomena in high energy h-A »nd k-h
collisions at high Pt> for example, the cross section of h-A collision
°"hA w r i t t e n •« *" • «"«, "it1* * «F to 1.3 ~ 1.7 for hi8h *t t m t i , the
1S2
jnexpected ISC11 IT-production and the subthreshold Tr-produetion. All
these may be explained by the existance of larger clusters, e.g. 6-q
clusters, in nuclei. Unfortunately they ail correspond to t.he kinematic
region vithXapproaching to one, or even larger than one, which is not
the same region of 0.2 < * < C.6, where typical EMC data are taken. On
the other hand, the picture that bounded nucleons have larger volumes
has been used tc explain some nuclear properties at louer energies. For
example, the form factor of pi and the response function of (e.e'J
quasi-elastic scattering is explained by C M . Shakin et al. based on
this idee ' . To make <» more certain conclusion it would be nice if
any experiment can give the mass M' c£ the effective target in 0.2<1t<
C.6 region. The two pictures we have discussed give different change of
the effective mass from M , the mass of the free nucleon: M' >M for 6-q
picture and M'< M for enlarged nucleon bag.
Even in the region of 0.2<X<0.6 there are still so many uncertain-
r.ies's about physical pictures and included factors. Related with tnese,
it is also difficult to teil how big is the change of the confinement
size in a nucleus. At snail t region data from different groups are not
consistent yet. There are many problems left unsolved around EMC effect.
To understand nuclei at the quark level tnere are many works which
should be done both experimentally and theoretically. Here is one of the
fields where nuclear and particle physics neat.

:RITICAL QUESTIONS CONCERNING LIGHT CONE FORMULATION AND
POSSIBLE RENORMALIZAT1ON OF YANG-MILLS THEORIES
A. BASSETTO
Dipartimento di Fisica "G. Galilei"- Univ. di Padova, Italy
Istituto Nazionale di Fisica Nueleare- Sezione di Padova
202
The light cone gauge choice seems to play a more and more
important (and intriguing ) role in several recent theoreti-
cal developments concerning field theories.
Since its original formulation ' it was realized that the
price to pay for having only independent "physical" degrees
of freedom was a lack of manifest Poincarg covariance and a
very singular infrared behaviour of the vector quantum propa
gator. While the use of the Dirac brackets formalism '
allows to recover the Poincarg algebra in a natural way, the
second problem was either disregarded or faced in a non com-
pletely satisfactory way until recently. It was also realiz-
ed' that it was impossible to get the light cone gauge as
the limiting case of an axial gauge when the square of the
gauge vector n. tends to zero.
In spite of these difficulties most of the perturbative calcu
lations concerning parton amplitudes were performed in this
gauge/ thanks to the triviality of the Faddeev-Popov deter-
minant and to the dominance of planar diagrams in the leading
logarithmic expansion' '.
Finally in recent years this gauge choice seems to be impor-
tant in the formulation of several supersymmetric field
and string' theories, nostly in connection with the possi-
ble finiteness of the so«e of them or with the existence
of a useful Hicolai transformation'
Therefore we think of the utmost importance a correct cano
nical quantization of the theory in this gauge as well as the
understanding of some difficulties arising in its renonnali-
zation. In the following we shall confine ourselves to the
pure Yang-Mills case; the introduction of Dirac fermions does
not entail any essential complication.
Originally the theory was quantized using null-plane brackets ' .
Starting from the usual lagrangian density
203
where
= - | F F ^ • (1)
F3 = 3 A* -3 A2 + g fabC A b A C (2)
we impose the gauge condi t ion
(3)
with constant light-like vectors n = (n ,n) and n = (n ,-n)u o j o
Ther. we have the constraint equations (the "evolution" occurs
along x )
Da beina the usual covariant derivative and A* , F 3 ' £ the•^ " • - a
independent; coordinates and conjugate momenta. Were it possible
to invert the operator 3_, egs. i4; and (5) woulc' allow us to
express A^ in terms of A^ and F '' . Now, in order to invert
3_, one has to impose a boundary condition on the potentials
at a certain value of x > e.g.
This would be acceptable, were the true physical evolution
occurring along x and would make the light-cone gauge some-
what similar to the space like axial gauge A3= O. In parti-
204
cular a natural choice for the inversion of 3_ would be
n.~l 3 U,y) = - sign(x~ - y") (7)
leading to the celebrated principal value prescription for the
spurious singularity in the vector propagator'
As however the physical evolution occurs along xQ, the true ti
me coordinate, we think it is not worth imposing a priori boun
dary conditions which interfere with the time evolution of
our system. One might at this point speculate that a null pla
ne algebra of fundamental commutators is not really equivalent
to the usual equal time commutator algebra when the spectrum of
the system contains nu) I squared inomenta. This will be clear
from cur treatment, in the sequel.
Let us start again from the Lagrangian density (1) to which
we add a gauge fixing term as well as suitable sources ' '

ere here Lagrange multipliers and K the related sources.

sity becomes, after ar. integration by parts, for j = K = 0

We notice from eq.(H) that the Gauss Law is not satisfied.
From eqs.110) and (11) we get the equation for the Lagrange
multipliers
n3Aa= 0 (13)
which would entail i\ = 0, were it possible tc invert the ope-
rator n&.We shall keep instead in the sequel A j* 0 and we
shall work with a redundant number of independent degrees of
freedom, namely A, and P . , on which we impose the equal time
canonical commutation relations
Aa it,x), Fb (t,y0 = i5 ^ . <53<x - y) (14)i 03 J-3
pb (_ -,-, _ 4 ,ab soj
following from the corresponding classical Dirac brackets.
The Gauss Law will be eventually restored by selecting a sui-
table subspace of the Hilbert space. In this "physical" sub-
space the Poincare covariance is also recovered
In order to get the expression of the free vector propagator,
we consider the free (i.e. g =0) field algebra. We denote by U
the radiation potentials, whose Fourier transformed components
satisfy the equations
(k~kv- g'^V) U* (k) = r^A^lk) , (15)
n^O* = 0 (16)
Their solution is

where k? = 2 '" ' -" "' . y< and
nWTa « k N a = 0 . (18)
The potentials ~-^ can be expanded on two orthogonal transverse(a ) "

The product of distributions in eq.{28) is now well defined.
The Wick rotation is possible and no singularity arises at
kj.« O in internal lines. The gausson field f behaves as a
ghost.propagating along a generating line of the light cone.
This ghost was killed in the previous treatment based on
null plane commutators.
As we have anticipated the Hilbert space of the Feck states
has an indefinite metric.
We can consistently define a physical subsapce r\ by impo-
sing as the only condition the weak vanishing of the Gauss
operator

: 1o • \JWe have shown ' that J\ , is stable under the usual PoincarS
algebra and has a positive srfmidefinite metric. Moreover the
perturbative /-matrix maps y(r into itself and its restriction
to J- is a unitary operator.
Following a standard procedure it is now possible to intro-
duce the generating functional for the Green functions
WCJM,K3. - J?"1 |dCAu.A3 . i / W x (31)
where L is given by eq.(8) and the boundary conditions on the
potentials are such as to guarantee the prescription (29) for
the free propagator
This functional is the starting point for the study of Green
functions in the "four component " formulation. Before doing
that, we want to show how a "two component" formulation, si-
209
milar to the original one, but with the Gausson included, can
be recovered in t h i s framework.
We notice that in eq.(31) we can immediately perform the t r i v i a l
functional integrations over A and nA , get t ing
W CJ , K3 = ,v~' Id [A , A + ] e x p | i /d"xl ] (32)
where

(33 )
At th is point we observe that the integrations over A+ are gausslan
and with a determinant depending only on the external sources K,
Therefore we can make A+ disappear, not inverting the equations
of motion,but just by performing another functional integration

The functional « C ^ , 0 3 provides us with a fcona fide two com-
ponent formulation with only physical degrees of freedom expli.
citly exhibited _
We stress however that the operator \T_ has to be interpreted
in the sense of eq, (29.) and therefore the Gausson is still
creeping into the theory. A quite analogous calculation in-
cluding Dirac fermions could be performed showing that integra_
tion can indeed eliminate half of the fermionic degrees of free
dcre .
Of course both formulations lead to identical Green functions
In particular we observe that WC Jv,0 3 obeys the following basic
identity
f CCT , 0 3 - 0 (38)
Which.allows us to relate Grean functions with unphysical
AKternal lines to Green functions with only physical (i.e. tran£
v«r»e) external lines. The simplest example of such relations
ha* been reported in ref.112 j.
They are different from Ward identities which always involve
Green function* with at least one external line being a Lagrange
j«ultipUer I* II 1 2 I.Osing both kinds of identities one recognises that the entire set
of Green functions can in principle be reconstructed starting
only frost the physical sector.
At variance with the Green functions> the one particle irredu-
211
cible vertices are quite different in the "two component"
and "four component" formalism. This can be immediately un-
derstood if one remembers that the two effective Lagrangians
are different. We do not expect that the irreducible ver-
tices in the two component formulation obey any useful Lee-
type identity as no redundant degrees of freedom are present
anymore. For this reason we find simpler to discuss the re-
normalization problem within the four component formulation
From eg.(34), performing the gauge variation
&AV = D^', 8A = 0 (39)
we get the Ward identities
V U
sJ -» Vis?' ISS] W C^' K ] = 0 (4O)
Then, by introducing the generating functionals for connected
Green functions ZCJ",K3 and for proper vertices rCa'',>. 3 , aJ
and1 being the correponding "classical fields", we derive the
Lee identities
where
"These identities provide us with simple relations among proper
vertices; in particular the two point vector vertex is ortho
gonal to jc ,t .
The peculiar features of' the light-cone gauge, when the pres-
cription (29) is adopted, are the appearance of the vector n,*
which is not present in the original Lagrangiar. as well as the
occurence of divergencies with non local character in the pro-
per vertices.
212
These features are already present in the one loop calculation
of the Yang-Mills self-energy reported in ref.j1i|. However
it is easy to convince oneself that these non local divergen-
cies are harmless, as they are always multiplied by the vector
n, and therefore cannot contribute to the Green functions.
It is not difficult to show that, at the one loop level,
it is possible to make all the Green functions finite by in-
troducing two renormalizaticn constants Z and i , without
spoiling the unitsrity property of the bare theory' '.
We can indeed define renormalized quantities as

One can easily verify that by choosing
(46)z = -1 + II
4 « 1 + 2g;N —-1 6 :
the one loop propagator can be made finite.
The Lee identities one can derive from eq.(41) assure the one
loop finiteness of the three and four legged Green functions.
213
Usually, once the theory has been made one loop finite, it
is possible t6 set up a recursive argument to prove renormali-
zability to any »rder. Unfortunately , in facing this program,
we encounter the following difficulty. Owing to the presence o
the vector n* , we have four possible (i.e. orthogonal to n )
u uindependent tensorial structures contributing to the complete
propagator, namelyn k + n k

At one loop level only the first two among these structures carry
divergent contributions) which can be cured by the prescription
(43-46). However we do not know any general argument preserving
the appearance of all the four kinds of divergent terns at many
loop level. Individual diagrams do indeed exhibit such divergen
cies. The counterpart of this difficulties in the two component
formulation is e.g. the possibility of having two independent
tensorial structures, namely 6agand kpfe for the complete pro
pagator and only one available renormalization constant Z.
If this were the case, to make them finite we should need a more
general renormalization procedure which however would be incom-
patible with the unitary of the renormalized theory.
We remark that a complete two loop calculation of the propagator
could either settle the problem, were the divergencies found, or.
in the case they cancel,perhaps provide a way to understand
this cancellation from a general view point.
In conclusion a correct and unambiguous formulation of Yang-
Mills theories in the light-cone gauge is available both in
the four and in the two component formulations.
Renormalization is feasible at the one loop level, whereas the
inductive proof at any order is still missing.

The field theory for K=l becomes quantum mechanics. rhe anhar-
nonic oscylator (AO) and double well potential (DaiP) have been
extensively studied. It was proposed by Cashwell t53 t° write the
Haailtonian
as '

and to study the expansion in powers of C. For the grouna state
enery of AO (which is equal to V/cC}) the result to first order
gives the error less then 2,o. I?or D'.vT one has to S U E aore orders
if the wells are far apart. It was shown by Jtevanson ;6: that
GiiP is a generalization of Cashwell's first order result, incor-
porating a translation of position operator. Therefore, Stevenson
suggested that the systematic expansion can be found which gives
SXr as a first order result. Gaussian effective potential gives
the error less then lO.-o even for S'JF. Jhe qualitative features
of GEP are very similar to our results for 2ero diaensional case,
only the critical value of diaensicnless parameter which marks
the transition from single well to double well behavior in quan-
tum mechanics has a different numerical value.
For N>1 the necessity of renoranlization appears and has been
studied for the'Gaussia effective potential C*,?J. 2?he renoraaliaed

Kaking use of the generating functional of the non-
-Abelian flavour anomalies of QCTD we construct a gauge
invariant pheaonenological Lagrangian of pseudoacalar
and vector mesons, which is equivalent to the extended
Wess-Zumino Lagrangian in the lov energy approximation.
The gauge kinetic term of the hidden local syoaetry is
necessarily present and the gauge coupling constant is

In a recent paper [1] it was shown that JL% , the usualnon-linear tf -model Lagrangian based on the manifold G/Ewhere G = dUt (2)*SURl2>U(<1} and H = Uyfe) is equivalent toa iagrangian L. posaeeing GJUWI * Hu«»| symmetry. The gaugebosons of the hidden local symmetry Eloo((| .has been success-fully identified with the vector mesons 5 , tu . Ihe equiva-lence holds in the absence of a gauge kinetic term for thevector bosons. The main assumption of \Al Has that this termis somehow generated by the underlying dynamics of QJD.After adding this term to Le by hand, the vector bosons be-came dynamical but the exact equivalence between the twotheories has been lost. However, their equivalence was still,valid as the aeroth order approximation in a low energy ex-pansion.
In the present paper we will show that the emergence ofthe gauge kinetic terms ia the consequence of flavour anom-alies of QCD. Following the sethod of Wees and Zumino [2}but aaking use of both the usual, fiardeen, and the "spurious",non-topologic&l, anomalies the effective Lagrangian £4 hasbeen constructed {3,4). ?he full L-»grangian A.-*-/., describesthe interactions of pseudoscalar mesons in the presence ofexternal electroweak fields up to first order in the lowenergy approximation [5). «e shall construct the locallygauge invariant Lagrangian !>., corresponding to£,.

THE PRESENT STATUS OF THE BAG MODEL
- A CURSORY BEVIEW -
Jiirgen Baacke
Institut ftir Physik

Federal Republic Germany
1. introduction
This lecture is supposed to be a review of the present status
of the MIT bag model.1"13 I would not think that such a task
could be accomplished by enumerating all miscellaneous recent
results in order to give a complete status report. Rather I
will include also all the well Known "old" reeults and try tc
give a critical estimation of. the relevance of the model for
present day physics. I will let myself be guided by the
following questions:
(i) Which are the essential features cf the bag model that
make it still an interesting field of research (beyond mere
phenomenology)7
(ii) What can we learn from the model about the consequences
of confinement?
(iii) What are the open problems (including mere phenomenology)?
In the following sections I will recall those topics that I
think to be essential and make some coraaents pertaining to the
questions mentioned above.

2. The Basic Postulates
The bag model is based on the following postulates
<i) A hadron is a cavity in the QCD vacuum with sharp bounda-
ries, filled with an appropriate number of valence par-
ticles. Inside the cavity QCD can be treated perturbatively.
(ii) Volume energy
Besides the energies contributed by the valence (and sea)
particles there is a volume energy
EVll » B V (2.D
where B is the bag constant and V the volume of the cavity.
(iii) Quark boundary condition
The quark fields obey the boundary condition
'. y( \j, « \f (2.2)
This condition insures that the vector currents of the
quarks and thexr energy momentum flow do not penetrate the
bag surface.
dv) Gluon boundary condition
The gluon fields satisfy
or, for a static cavity,
«•?«. * « I, « 0 (2.4)
As a consequence the total colour charge inside the bag must
vanish and there is no flow of colour or gluon energy through
the surface.
241
Some comments:
(i) The gluon boundary leads effectively'to an infrared cut-
off of (size of the bag)" 1. This indicates a possible
way of short-cutting infrared problems, not yet really
explored.
(ii) The boundary conditions modify the Feynman rules of QCD
by modifying the propagators. Explicit propagatorsr 2-4 T
are known for spherical cavities. The gluon propagatoris only defined if the total colour charge Q a = 0. This
entails that tree and 1-loop graphs cannot be uniquely
separated,
(iii) The quark boundary condition could be superfluous. Since
quarks carry colour and colour fields are not allowed to
penetrate the bag surface the gluon boundary condition
alone should be sufficient to colour quarks. For heavy
quarks the classical self energy leads to a mirror charge
potential.1 For light quarks the corresponding potential
is too weak.• J
(iv) The quark boundary condition violates chiral symmetry. Its
restoration by coupling to the pion field leads to chiral
bags, '. ] one of the highlights of bag theory.
(v) A mechanism that is able to explain confinement of quarks
by their gluon field (see (iii)) must at the same time
explain the mechanism of chiral symmetry breaking since
without the explicit quark boundary condition the theory
is symmetric for massless quarks. It would be interesting
to seek a connection to models of the QCD vacuum like
those of refs. [81.
(vi) While the bag model is not a theory of confinement it is
a theory with confinement. It is in my opinion a very use-
ful laboratory for studying tb» consequences of confinement.

3. The String Tension, Reqge Poles and the Relation to
Potential ModelsC5>9'10:l
When considering a static quark antiquark pair at sufficient
distance one finds ' ' that the bag becomes an elongated
flux tube of radius (8og/3«BI ' and an energy per length
(string tension)
So the bag model predicts a linear potential V = or and is re-
lated to the string model. Along with this model one predicts
Regge poles with a slope
^ (3.2)
Using a' - .88 GeV one finds the constraint
This constraint is satisfied by the model parameters obtained in
the fits to light ^ 1 1 1
and the ones obtained from fits to heavy guarkonia '
«, *. S "B'l/V * H O K t v (3.5)
Unfortunately both sett disagree, a point discussed further below.
Though the bag model predicts a string "potential" one should be
aware of the fact that this ia by no means a potential of the
same kind as the 1/r potential of QED. For QED (he total electric
energy of a pair of oppositely charged particles is
(3.6)
243
with the self energies
Ej - T~ $ » * ^ 5 ^ * V (3.7)
and the interaction energy
-"'*-* ' (3.8)
in QED most of the self energies is incorporated into the
kinetic quark energy a/Zi-B*. An explicit contribution arises
only to the extent that the charged particles are off shell.
(Lamb shift.)
In a colour confining theory the total field £ cannot be
written as
In the bag model th« boundary condition n2 = 0 cannot be ful-
filled by the colour electric field of a single quark or gluon.
In AJler's bag ^ the effective action is not quadratic in the
fields. As a consequence self and interaction energy cannot be
uniquely separated, as already realized in [11]. The self energy
can no longer be "essentially" absorbed into mass renormalization
even not for heavy (= almost on shell) quarks where it plays an
interesting rSie^14^.
As a consequence the field energy must be "boosted" if the quark
move. The factor (1-8') applied to the mass (incorporating
the self energy) must now be applied to all the elements of the
string (moving at different velocities). The factor 2* in
a' = 1/2TO arises from this fact. If the o • r potential is put
simply into an otherwise correct relativistic wave equation,
wrong Regge slops are found (as e.g. in [15]). This is a very
trivial statement, but usually ignored in potential models.
4. The bag model and the phase transition towards the quark
gluon plasma
The bag model has essentially the same asymptotic level density
as the Vensziano model and Hagedorn's Statistical Bootstrap.16
This was already realized in the first article on the model. -*
More .specifically one finds
where Qn is the n-quark phase space and d the (spin, color and
flavour) degeneracy. One finds that asymptotically
i... - * < 4 * 2 )
where
is the Hagedorn temperature, T » 160 MeV.
Taking d = 3 2 * 40 corresponding to 8 gluons with 2 helicities
and 2 * 3 quark flavours one finds,
which is the right order of magnitude.
Eg. 1,4. t) is based on a virial theorem1" that says
This means that very massive hadrons are also very extended. In
Hagedorn's approach the heavy hadrons are statistically compe-
titive due to the large number of their internal degrees of
freedom. If energy is added to a hadron gas a la Hagedort. the
heavy hadrons are produced abundantly and absorb the energy into
their mass. Therefore the temperature stay* low, always below T .
The fact that the heavy hadrons are extended in the bag model
245
reduces their phase space through a' covolume factor
(V- IV;^ «- (V- I $£) ' (4.5)
and T marks no longer an absolute limit, it rather becomes a
phase transition temperature ' T _ = 1.2 T Q towards a
quark gluon plasma.
Some remarks:
(i) The relation between the real transition temperature T t
and B may be grossly wrong. Zn the simple minded approach,
the pion mass is -800 HeV, because the spin spin splitting
has not been introduced. Now the x is certainly the most
prominent particle in hadron thermodynamics and it should
be treated as correctly as possible. Otherwise one cannot
trust the results quantitatively.
Cii) The model supports Landau's old hydrodynaaical model. -
Since in Landau's model the transition between an ultra-
relativistic "prematter" and the hadron gas explains
the exp (-p /TQ) spectrum observed with high accuracy in
high energy hadron collisions, the real phase transition
temperature should be at T -160 HeV.
(iii) In the model the violation of chiral symmetry is related
to the boundary condition. Above TQ the boundaries gc
away since the hadrons merge. Therefore restoration of
chiral symmetry is most naturally to be expected to occur
at this and the same temperature.
246
5. Light hadrons
The phenomenology of light hadrons was one of the first successes
of the model. Unfortunately this application of the bag nodel
is plagued with a number of problems which still wait for a satis-
factory solution. One should, however, keep in mind that the
fully relativistic bound state problem has not even in QED found
a satisfactory solution. Tackling the bound state problem of con-
find massless quarks is therefore a fierce enterprise.
The mass of a hadron is ob.tained by minimizing with respect to
the bag radius R the energy •*
Here »,, are the dimensionless eigenfrequencies of the occupied
modes, AE(R,ni. , a ) contains the colour electromagnetic inter-1/4
actions. The bag constant is found to be B ' * 145 HeV. a iss
determined essentially by the spin spin interactions, a value
as ~ 2 is required. The term -Z/R was introduced on phenomenolo-
gical grounds and was first supposed to arize from the Casimir
effect.
Now the difficulties:
(i) Translation invariance is obviously broken. Several solutions
have been attempted. The more formal approaches, ' 'F.231
starting from field theoretical bags have been developedr 221
very far by now but still problems in doing the MIT bag
limit. Practical approaches consist essentially in interpre-r 24i
ting the bag as a wave packet or bound state wave func-
tion1 and to subtract the additional energies contained
in the c m . motion of the bag as a whole. Such corrections
go into the right direction, even quantitatively and are
essential1"" also for other static parameters like the mag-
netic moments.
(ii) The -Z/R term could up to now not be explained by the Casimir
effect. Part of it can be attributed^243 to the cm. motion
247
correction which is of the same form. On the other hand
the self energies of the quarks calculated recently J
contribute with the opposite sign and constitute now a
major problem.
(iii) One loop contributions like Casimir energy and self energy
are not yet well understood theoretically, This will be
discussed below.
(itr) The parameters a and B disagree with those found for heavyC27]
quarkonia (see below). Barnes has attempted recently
to reduce the value of o by considering corrections to the
wave function induced by the Coulonb interaction. This in-
creases the effective overlap of the wave functions and
reduces therefore the value of a necessary to explain the
spin spin splitting to a « 1.
6. Heavy Quarkonia
Heavy Quarkonia present the advantage that the quarks become non-
relativistic, or at least accessible to a Breit-Fermi type appro-
ximation (v <. . 5c ). Two approaches have been shown to lead to
a reasonably successful phenomenology: the adiabatic approximation
of Hasenfratz et al. and a self-consistent approach by ourr 2sir 2si
group. The adiabatic approximation leads essentially to a poten-
tial model. Hasenfratz et al. did a detailed numerical calculation
in order to determine the shape of the bag that minimizes the sum
of volume energy V-B and the energy of the static gluon field de-
termined by the quarks as point sources and the boundary conditions
(depending on the skope to be determined). They found:
(i) For elongated bags the energy is proportional to the length
with the usual string tension o = /32nBa/3'.
(ii) For all quarkoniua states except the highly excited +'•'••
the shape of the bag is spherical; it is a good approximation
to use a spherical bag from the outset, in which case the
energy can be evaluated analytically.
248
(iii) The spin-spin forces can be calculated for spherical bags,
(iv) The phenomenological parameters are
to be contrastet with
for light hadrons.
Some comments:
(i) The discrepancy of the model parameters will be found again,
this time within one and the same class of states, for
heavy flavour hadrons; see below.
(ii) A similar approach has been taken, on a different theore-
tical basis by Adler ] who minimizes the action
(6.1)
with - M
in order to determine the force between heavy static quarks.
In the self consistent approach followed by our group one pro-
ceeds as follows
(i) Use the spherical approximation from the outset, fix the
center at the c m . of the quarks.
(ii; The radius is fixed, but used as variational parameter at
the end.
r 2 231
{iii) The knowr. ' static gluon Green's functions in the sphe-
rical cavity fix the nonrelativistic potential of the quarks;
this includes a confinement potential caused by the self
energy (see also [5,103). One calculates the quark wave
functions in this potential and obtains the 0 t h order quark
energy.
249
<iv) Use the Breit-Fermi approximation to calculate all v /c
corrections, SS, 2S and orbital (£ , P r ) . Again the self
energy is included.
(v) Add the volume energy and minimize the total energy byr i 2"1
varying the radius. The phenomenological results " are
quite satisfactory.*
The model parameters are
lie
fUV
Some comments:
(i) The agreement of the model parameters with those of Hasenfratz
et al. elucidates the quality of the too different approxi-
mations.
(ii) In contrast to potential models in the bag model all func-
tions describing the interactions are fixed, only two para-
meters can be adjusted (except for the short range 32 inter-
actions where we have used running a).
(iii) The v /c corrections are complete in the sense that they
include also orbital corrections usually dismissed in poten-
tial models. The confining part of the potential yields
straightforwardly an LS force of the correct sign.
(vi) The self energy plays an important rSle in this (and also
Hasenfrat2' et al.CS'1o:i) approach.
The fact that the T IP-states are somewhat too near to the 2S
states is due to the fact that no running a was used, a running
a rises the S states.
250
7. Hadrons with Heavy Flavour
Hadrons with on heavy and one or two light quarks have first been
considered in refs. [30 ]. For these bags the problems of trans-
lation invariance is minor. One can treat the heavy quark essen-
tially as static, fixed at the center of the bag. For the wave
functions of the light quarks one uses the solutions of the Oirac
equation with boundaries, either without (F-modee) or including
(C modes)L the Coulomb potential.
The wave function at the origin is larger for the C modes, there-
fore the spin spin interaction between heavy and light quarks be-
comes larger for C modes, the value of a required to fit the datar 32i
is therefore smaller « s « .8 for F nodes, oa » .4 for C modes ;
these values are sixilar to those found in the fits to heavy quar-
konia. However, the values of a required to explain the ob-
served X.. A. splitting using the light-light quark spin spin inter-
actions is four tines as large, i.e. equal to the "old" MIT fit
value a * 22 This is a problem that requires to be solved, several
ways out of the dilemma have been indicated in [32], but need to
be worked out in detail. Taking into account Coulomb corrections
to the wave
diff»renc«.
to the wave function seems not to be able to explain the whole
I. Chiral bags
Chiral bays have been developed in refs. [34-37] in order to
restore the chiral invariaace destroyed by the quark boundary con-
dition
which gets replaced by .» _,
\
and by introducing a pion field *(x).
251
The controversy about little bags with a pion field only
outside the bag and cloudy bag admitting pions also inside
it seems to be settled in favour of the latter ones. Ttie cloudy
bag model is theoretically on a more logical footing, especially
when derived as in ref. [37], and phenomenologically favoured.
The most attractive aspect of chiral bags is at present theirr 38 "i r 3 91connection to skyrmions especially the relation of the
baryon number of the sea quarks to the topological baryon
number current in the skyrmion model, a subject covered by
Zalewski's contribution to this conference.
9. 1-Loop Calculations in the JBag Model
The bag model was conceived as a simple phenomenological model,
cutting short the difficulties of a basic theory by simple postu-
lates. It seems therefore somewhat far fetched to calculate 1-loop-
corrections in such a model. For several reasons this is, however,
not so, 1 loop calculations are unavoidable and/or of phenomeno-
logical relevance.
Consider at first the parton distribution. It can be derived from
the graphs
where ^^* represents the quark propagator in the bag. The second
graph is a one loop graph, it is the sea parton distribution,r 41 1which was found to be divergent.1" This is even the case if
represents the guark propagator in a smooth, nonconfining poten-r 42i
tial. The problem still lacks a cure! We have here a 1-loop-
effect which is experimentally accessible, and divergent in the
model and also divergent if milder versions of confinement are
considered. Therefore it is of relevance beyond the model, the
HIT bag model has the advantage that one can do real explicit
252
calculations which facilitate the analysis. This is also the
case of other 1-loop effects. The Casimir energy was introduced
as a phenomenological parameter in the model fit to light ha-
'-11 •'as a -Z/R contribution. A correct analysis shows that
the effect has quadratically, linearly and log divergent contri-
butions. It is yet an unsolved problem how to cure this d i -
sease. Closely related is the calculation of the baryon number
in the chiral bag.1-40-1 This is definitely a 1-loop effect that
is calculated along the same lines as the Casimir energy. While
the baryon number turns out to be what one expects it to be
M6) * ;jjr (6- 4- is*. 2©>
in order to match with the baryon number of the chiral hedgehog
(skyrmion) outside the bag.
L 44"!The 6 dependent Casireir energy is again divergent:
+ f i n i t e p a r t
So if one is pleased with N( 9) one should think about Ec(e) as
well:
The self energy of confined quarks was evaluated recently ,
this was certainly the most involved calculation that has been
done in the model. It was hoped to be negative and found to be
large and positive fbut at least finite!). A common feature
of the one loop effects is that they come out too large or even
infinite. This would be improved by a cutoff in-the loop momen-
tum. Physically this i* plausible since the bag model is anC 45 ~*
effective theory. A parallel situation occurs in dielectrics
where the C«simir energy is likewise divergent, but where the
divergent integrals are cut off by the fact that the dielectric
constant goes to unity if the photon frequency and/or momentum
becoae large. In QCD we know similarly that gluons and quarks
become free if they are far off shell. Zt remains to find a
convincing way to introduce such a cutoff.
253
10. Conclusion
All the technical conclusions have already been presented at
the appropriate place. My general conclusion is that while the
bag model is not in a perfect or even good shape especially
concerning the theoretical aspects it is in an "interesting
shape". I think that all the problems I have evoked will lead
to deeper insights on the way towards their solution. I think
therefore that the model will be also in the future an inte-
resting theoretical tool for gaining an understanding of the
world of hadrons.
It remains to apologize for having omitted to mention a lot cf
further interesting aspects and substantial contributions to
the subject.

In a popular version of the cftiral bag model the quark wave
functions satisfy the free particle Dirae equation inside a
sphere. Let us denote the radius of this sphere by H. The bound-
ary condition is
f 5 r = R . (l)
Here n is the unit vector along the external normal to the sphere.
The components of vector <£ are Paul! aatrieeB acting on the
isospin indices of \f, whicii is assumed to belong to an isospln

ii. In the remaining convergent series it is legitimate to
put f(K,t) = sign(E), but- the series converges so slowly that
it would be necessary to SUE thousands of terms to get a reason-
able accuracy. Therefore,one extracts the slowly convergent
(0(l/n)) series and sums it analytically. The resu.lt ie
Bas(x) = - |sinKxsin(aex)ln)3sin(2Kx)j |x|<i/S (6)
It is seen that this result is logarithmically divergent for

is so inefficient.
iii. The remaining rapidly convergent series is summed
numerically. The result obtained for e = ,^/4, m = -I, S = 1/2
is shown in Fig. 1.
The corresponding calculation for three dimensions is much
harder. >Vork to find the mean square baryonic charge radius of
the bpg including the contributions from the valence q.uarks,
the soliton and the vacuum in the bag is, however, in progress.
It seems interesting to study how the baryonic charge of
the fermionic vacuum ai'fscte the phenomenology cf the chiral
bag model. At first sight the infinite spikes iii the density-
look bad, but since they are integrable, it is net clear whether
they lead to an.' real difficulties.

1. Introgaction
In this short presentation we would like to report some of the
results in the new baglike model of hadrons.
It is well known that the QCD suggests that the nonlinear
color quantum effects inside hadron give confinement of color
charges. But at present no proof exists. In this paper we
suggest that these quantum effects are equivalent to an effective
classical metric. Several authors indicated'the

REGULAR LATTICES AS SADDLE -POINTS OF A TWO
RANDOM LATTICE THSOR?
D. Perfcermann
Sektion Fhysik, Karl-Marx-UniversitSt Leipzig, DDE
Abstract
A two dimensional random lattice theory with a free
massless scalar field theory is considered. We ar>alyse the
field theoretic generating functional for any given choice
of positions of the lattice sites. Asking fo-r sadaie-points
of this generating functional with respect to the positions
we find the hexagonal lattice and the triangulated version
of the hypercubic lattice as candidates.
1 - In t roduct ion
The random lattice theories were first introduced by Christ,
Eriedberg and Lee (1). In a word, the random lattice is e
discrete set of N sites in a space-tiaie with a volume £. The
co-ordinates of these sir.es are randomly choser. in Q . The
lattice is characterized by a fundamental length scale L,
where q is the density cf sires and D the dimension of space-
time. This length scale is a generalization of the lattice
spacing in regular lattices.
The average over an ensemble of lattices yields the restora-
tion of rotation iLorentz- ) and translation symmetries for
Lf*C. The continuum l:..r.it corresponds to
272
n -»oo or L -» 0. . • O.2)
The random lattices are constructed by a decomposition of
in D-siraplices. To each realization of a randoa lattice belongs
a dual lattice based pn a Voronoi-construction (1).
The generating functional is given by
n , d D r i zL< ri' - v • • <i-3>
Here, the integration is extended over all possible realizations
of D-dimensicnal co-ordinates x: • of the lattice sites. The
2T lr.,J.) is the generating functional of an Euclidian (or
Hinkovski! field theory in a fixed realization of site co-
ordinates r^ an<5 with external currents J. .
k motivation for the introduction of random lattices was the
conception e-f a discrete approximatisc o€ the flat Euclidian
(or Mir^owski) ^paoe-tirae including the restoration of rota-
tion (Lorents) and translation symmetrie-s. Fri-edberg and
ften (2) ir4 fven (3) have presented computer siai-ulations of U (1) ,
SI.M2}, sna S'J(3) gauge theories on random lattice-s. The average
action anc the specific neat on the random lattice are much
closer tp the expected continuum results than On a regular lattice.
But there is BO drastic change with respect tc the phase struc-
ture between random ana regular lattices.
If w«s suggested by T.E.Le« (4J to introduce the random
lattices, as theories of s-pace-titne it_salf. The random lattice
describes « discrete space-time Including gravity. The co-
ordinates of lattice sites are dynamical variables as the
fields on the sites., links etc. Fo"13.owing Cohen (5) there are
two possible interpretations:
(i) In L«e's version based on the Hegge calculus (6) the cur-
273
vat are resides in (D-2) dimensional "tones." oi the lattice-
di) In Cohen's interpretation (5) the space-time i£ identified
with the co-ordinates of lattice sites. The gravitation
corresponds to derivations from regular lattices. The con-
tinuun' limit (1<—» C) yields no gravitation.
It was shown by Cohen (5) that in D=l dimensions the regular
lattice is a saddle-point of Z^lr^'J^' i n e<3- (1.3) foxr a free
massless scalar- field theory. It is mentioned that a non-zero
mass does not change the result. For dimensions D>1 the situa-
tion should be similar. The possible candidates are Bravais
lattices with at least a D-point symmetry.
Our aisne is to shown, what happens ir> D=2 dimensions
discussing a free massles scalar field theory.
2. The frge scalar field on a flat random lattice
We chose a scalar field theory, because the integrations with
respect to the fields in zL<r i«J i) are Gaussian. This allows
simple analytical estimations. If we are interested on effects
of the fields themselves on the lattice shape, we may restrict
us to the case J^=.O. For simplicity »*e di&cuss a flat Euclidie*
space. The generating functional ifi
The sum in the exponent of eq.<2.t/ runs over all links (ij)
of the lattice. The ^ . are the link coupling*. They are noa-
vanishing only if i and j are ^oint by a link. Tc specify ehes«
link couplings we use the roost natural choice
'•v _ °»: "volume" of (£>-p dim.dual of (ij; ,_ ..A±-i ~ ~~~~ ~~~~—————————*————' , \A.Z\
Li; length of (ij)
274
For the properties of this most natural choice of link coup-
lings see ref. (1,4) .
3. Saddle-points ir. two dimensions
Our aijne is to performe a saddle—point -estimation of the
co-ordinate integral in eg.(1.3). We ask for such lattice
configurations concerning the positions of lattice sites which
extirereiae the field theoretic generating functional Z_(r.,J.)
for a free ntassless scalar fiel-d theory in two dimensions.
A.Local extremal configurations
The configurations of lattice sites in the neighbourhood of
• single site- i vtfiicii extremize Z ir.,J.) we call local ex-
tremal configurations. The decimation o-f the site i is defined
as the integration ©f Che site i with respect to the field
i*
/ n d^i
Using »<g. X2.1) the resulting l j«
The expression within the es^ponential term is the effective
action after the decimatios
couplings "X are defined by
.action after the decimatlos of the site i . The effective link
lUi, . (3.2)
Dn two dimensions, they have a jr.uch raore complicated structure
ther. in the one-dimensional case in ref. <5) . Due to the second
term on the right-hand side of eq.(3.2) the appearance of a
link crossing in the effective lattice is possible.
275
In connection with the local extremal configurations we dis-
cuss the factor ^
j toio
in eq. (3.1) concerning the co-ordinates of xQ. This factor
contains the sum of couplings A .. of links joining i Q with its
neighbours j. The investigation of the necessary conditions
for an extremuni of the factor yields regular polygons (Pig.1)
and rectangular configurations (Fig.2) as solutions. In the
case of the rectangular configurations there is a freedom in the
choice of triangulation (decomposition in 2-simplices). But
the necessary conditions for th« extrensum are satisfied by the
4-neighbours and 8-neighbours configurations as well as the
6-neighbours configuration in version A only (set Fig.2).
Under the polygoraial configurations we find the hexagon which
is constructed by regular triangles as basic geometrical objects.
B. Global extremal configurations
Now, we are interested on such realizations of th« total set
of co-ordinates which extremize the field theoretic <fener*t.i.nej
functional Z^lr^/J^ with respect to all lattice sitas. Inte-
grating the fields ty, on the lattice site* i and chasing
for one site i^ to avoid a divergence of Z., we obtain
7^VThfc A^i' a r e t h e effective link couplings after the decimation
of the lattice sites i. , I^, , i;. .
There is the suggestion, that a lattice constructed by local
extremal configurations should be a global extrenal configuration.
Using the hexagon as basic element one obtains the hexagonal
lattice (Fig.31. Very sinilar, the 6-neighbours hypercubic lat-
tice shown ir. Fig.4A is constructed by the 6-neighbours rectan-
gles in version A (Fig.2). A combination of the 4-neighbours
ari<5 (it-neighbours rectangles yieldfc the &/4-neighbours hypercubic
lattice presented in Fig.4B. Due to the triangulation this type
of bypereubic lattice tFig.4A,B) is not identical with the usual
one. fhe elsmetstar structure of the usual twp dimensional hyper-

POSSIBLE EVIDENCE TOR St-gERSYMMETRY
IN HADRON SPECTRA
A. Bohni

Austin, Texas 78712, USA
Abstract
Following the example of nuclear physics a tower
of meson resonances and a tower of baryon resonances
are combined into a supertower described by Osp(1,4).
This is phenomenologically justified by the approximate
equality of the mass splitting for these mesons and
baryons.
282
In a recent f i t of the hadron spectra to the quantum re la t iv i s t i c
osc i l lator model, whose spectrum i s described by SO<3,2) representations, i t
was noticed that the meson and baryon resonances with only u- and d-quark
content ( i . e . hadrons not containing s - , c - or b-quarks) have approximately
the same nass s p l i t t i n g . As mesons and baryons are described by the saae
class of SO(3,2) representations, they have also the saae mass level
structure. la nuclear physics a picture l ike tW,s - In which different
nuclei (even-odd and even-even) have the saae level • structure and level

evidence for super symmetry. '

the SO<3,2)-irreps denoted by D { u . «s+l, s»l) and the best documented

i t i s quite natural co look for evidence of supersyaoetry also in the
low-mass hadron spectra. In the saae way as ue have carried the idea of
collective rotations and oscillations over into the relativistic domain we
shall also try to carry the idea of supersymnetric level structure over to
the aass levels of hadrcms.
The physical interpretation of the Oap(l.A) will be derived fro« the

quite surprising taking into consideration that the non-relativistic

1. ffllBODUCTICIg
One of the cain pillars of quark model and QCD is considered to be
the success of hadron spectroscopy, at least for heavy quarks. It is
generally stated that "apin forces Si'c w«ll understood" * . However.,
the practical hadron speetrosfiopy is based on phenomenological poten-
tials, supposed to be motivated by QCD or by assumed ec>Ei"i enent. We
shall enphssiie here that such potentials have severe fundamental dif-
ficulities both at short and at large distances so that tbe parameters
obtained from fitting with these potentials cannot be reliable. These
considerations imply that one has to use other asethods-tuan potentials
to grasp the nass problems of hadrons based on quarks, e.g. sum rules
294
cr lattice-type calculations.
On the other hacd, the'concept of potential should be applicable
to any r.onrelativistic or relativistic bound s*ate or resonance prob-
lems based on constituents. If the constituents are real physical par-
ticles, no difficulties arise. But if the constituents oust be confined,
there seems to be no adequate nay of forrauleting a1 dynamics based on
potentials. We are thus lead to compare the dynanical aspects of model
of hadrons based on reel particles (in which quarks can be introduced
aaThesatically or group theoretically, but need not be the dynamical
entities) versus the quark raodel.
Innumerable papers are being written on various fits vith various
potentials. In viev of the fundamental difficulties nentioned above,
these fits are questionable. Sooe of these difficulties are known and
have been poirj'vd out. sporadically. Th& purpose of the present work is
to sharpen thcst problems, to formulate then more quantitatively, to
see if the isr.setiLs.zis readies vorkt-t and then cccpare them vith alter-
native dynamical models.
i. CRITIQUE OF THE FHEIiOMSHOLOGICAL POTER'.flALS
In hadron spectroscopy based on qutrk-nodel one starts from a LO-
variant effective interaction between the constituents u and v
£ = ^Hw)S(n2) + (u/uXv-vmq2) , (1)
thus introducing two potentials S{q ) «nd V(q ). In the vave equa-
tion for one of the perticles S and V behave then as a (Lorentz)
sctlar and vector potential, respectively, hence the notation.
Before giving the usual nonrelativistic fora of the potentials,
I discuss firBt the relativistie dynamics. If ve introduce cooposite
fields tlx^fXg) * U(JCJ)V(JL), we can rewrite (1) in terms of * and
i, also the kinetic energy terms. Varying then the total £ with
respect to * (instead of varying X with respect to u. and v sep-
arately) we obtain for * the linear wave equation

enly on r . Then 4 is in3epender.t of the relative t i ze , q°, and
can be written as t{x ,x. ,z). This aeans that £(q"") and V(q ) in
Eq. (l) contain a 5-function, S'x -y ±r), corresponding to the propa- .
gator of exchanged laassless particles. Jor both photons and gluons the
V-part satisfies this condition (in the case of gluon there ere also
nonlinear tenns, of course). 3ut the scalar part S(q ) appears to be
purely phene=er.clcgical. Ana this is cne cf the difficulties about this
confining potential right from the beginning.

NOVEL APPROACH TO SCALING IN MULTIPLICITY
R. Szwed
Institute of Experimental Physics
University of Warsaw. Warsaw, Poland
ABSTRACT
Problems concerning scaling in multiplicity are briefly reviewed, and the
standard approach fKNO scaling) is compared with the new one (KNO-G
scaling), tt is shown that, with the new approach, the pp multiplicity data
obey multiplicity scaling perfectly within the whole available centre-of-mass
energy range from 2.5 to 62.2 GeV. However, the seating is broken by the
CERN Super Proton Synchrotron Collider pp multiplicity data of experiment

1. INTRODUCTION
The CERN Super Proton Synchrotron (SPS) Collider, because of itsenergy, has created completely new domains cf high-energy physics; but ithas also revived an interest in the traditional part of high-energy physicsdealing with the global characteristics of hadron-hadron interactions -- forexample, multiplicities. Fortunately enough, the new high-precisionIntersecting Storage Rings (ISR) data were published [3] simultaneouslywith the SPS Collider multiplicity data [1 ,2 ] , thus tr iggering off anextensive discussion of old unresolved problems concerning scaling concepts
The aim of this paper is to present our own understanding of theseproblems, and to draw attention to certain concepts [8] which appear to beunknown to the wider physics community. The discussion is limited to thepp multiplicity data measured in a ful l rapidity range (tor references, see[9 ] ) . For most of the numerical details and derivations which are notincluded in the present paper, the reader is again referred to the previousreport on the same subject [9].
The plan of this paper i t the following. Section 2 will give a briefreminder of the present standard understanding of multiplicity scaling.Next (Section 3.5 the fK>n-standard approach to KNO scaling [8] will beintroduced. In Section 4 the validity of this new scaling, calfed hereafterKNO-G, wtfi be demons*rated by making a comoarison with the existingproton-proton multiplicity data. Section 5 contains a comparison betweenthe existing Collider multiplicity data and extrapolation, within KNO-Gscaling, to the SPS Collider energies. The summary and conclusions aregiven HI Section 6.
2. PRESENT STATUS Of THE KNO SCALING
2.1 History
IR 1S72, Kob», Nielsen »r»d Olesen showed that multiplicity distributionsshould scale at asymptotic energies ir. the following way [4 ] :
Pn = 1^<n>*(*3, i = nA«>, <n> = 2 nPR ,
where ' • » = 3 n ' ° " ' •* ^ e Probability to produce n secondaries in the finalstate. The $ function is an energy-independent scaling function normalizedby the following conditions:
= I P.- - I l/<n><(itn/<n>) s J (C(z) = 1It If ft _
and
It should be stressed that the above formulation of KNO scaling hss beendone for the asymptotic energies [4] snd that it is not self-consistent atthe small energies, since the integrals in the normalization equations arebadly approximated by the sums.
303
2.2 KNO sealing violation
Figure 1 shows all the available ps multiplicity data (vs=2.5 to 62.2GeV) plotted in the KNO variables [ a) linear vertical scale and b)logarithmicai vertical scale]. On the one hand, it is seen that the dataform a kind of a common curve. On the other hand, the size of theexperimental errors is comparable at small *=n~n ' '<n
c-| , ' v v i t h t h e Point size,so it is obviously impossible to draw one singTe curve (scaling function y)through all the data points. This clearly demonstrates the well known factthat KNO scaling is violated. The same conclusion is usually reached in smore quantitative way by shov-ing that the normalized statistical moments(e.g. C(,=<nI<>/<n>kl rise with energy [TjC.11.-3j, although the* should s-.ayconstant. Also, D-,An> {D,-[Z(n-<n>)-Pn ] } should be constant withenergy, which implies that" D1=A<n(.^>. In fsct, the data obey theempirical formula of the form D?=A(<.n~h>-e) (the 'Wrobfewski relation' [ 5 ] ] ,where asl for the pp multiplicity data, thus contradicting KNO scaiing. Itis usually claimed thaT the parameter a, being connected to theieadmg-particle effect, has a dynamical origin [12,11.13, 3 ] .
As a short conclusion to this section, one can say that KNO scaling isvery approximate, and is in fact badly violated when applied to the fullenergy range.
2.3 Rescue by the non-diffractive data
There is a common belief that KNO scaling may be rescued by usingonly non-diffractive data [6,3] . (Non-diffractive data means mrltiplicit-,'distributions for all meiastic events, with diffractive events excluded fromthe sample.) This belief is mainly based on two experimental observations:a) people believe that the D versus <r>~h> reistior. is recovered fornon-diffractive data to the forir supporting "ideal KNO scaiing, Dt-A<n(; 1>[14,16]. b) the C., moments plotted for non-diffractive data at ISRenergies [3] show no change with energy within the present experimentalerrors
So the diffractive component in the multiplicity data if believed to beresponsible for the KNO scaling violation.
3. GENERALIZATION OF KNO SCALING (KNO-C)
In 1977, Golokhvastov [8] proposed to reformulate KNO scaling in thefollowing way:
P(n) = l/<n>ii>(z), z = n/<n>, <n> = f nP(n)dr> ,0
where Pin) is a continuous probability distribution o* continuousmultiplicity n. However, we do not observe P(n', experimentally: it is thediscrete probability ?n which is measured end which can easily beevaluated from P(n):
P n = J P ( n ) d n = J t ) d
304
Note, that the ner'nalizatio.-i equations are exactly fulfil led in Golokhvastov'sformulation of KNG seating. As can be seen, KNO-G scaling is in fact aone-to-cne image of the standard KNO, but is applied to the continuousmultiplicity. Obviously KNO-G - KNC when Vs - =>, because
i»*1An>Pn - T *UJdz = l/<n>ii)(n/<r,>) ,
but Asymptopis is far away, since <n> (which is a scale in the problem)rises with energy only logarithmically.
Perhaps it >s easier to understand the whole concept of generalizationusing the simpit picture plotted in Fig. 2- where the solid curverepresents o scaling function i|;(zj plotted with the usual KNO variables.Usinc the defir.itions of Pr within KNO fF,. = 1 '<r>>V[n/Jn>] and KNO-G [PR="j ifffzidz], it is easy to see that whereas Tht P_ ^ are represented bythe ares of rrtt piotted rectsngles, the p^ K N O " ' are represented by thedashed are? under the scaling function.' So KNO-G seems to be thesmallest possible generalization of the KNO formulation, making it applicablefor ar^ scale <n-
4. THE KNO-G TEST
!h this section some features of K^O-C scaling will be pointed out, andthe scaling will be checked aga'nst the pp multiplicity data.
4.1 Cnar.fle of the scaling function
it seems to be convenient to change a scaling function \p{z) to itsprimitive function [9] defined as follows:
4>(z) = j i t f ( z ) d z - i .t
So,
P = f *(z)dz = *Un-1V<n>]-<Kn/<n:0.
A. change of the scaiir.g function facilitates the numerical evatuations [9 ] ,Dut in no sens* it is compulsory fEj .
4.2 Graphical test of KNG-G
It is easy to see from the relation f8.9J:
S f l - X P, = j (Hz)dl = -<f{z) [assuming 4>(«>l = 0] ,''"• n /<£>
that the data at different energies should overlap if sums S (S =ZP) areplotted versus z. A graphical test of KNO-G sealing is shown in Fi'g. 3.tt can be s«en that all data point* lie on < single curve.
305
4.3 Energy behaviour of the C, (Cu=<nk>An>k) moments
Obviously the C^ moments should be constant with energy,.
Cb = <nk>An>k = 7 zk*(z)dz = const(s) ,
but KNO-G scaling does not require the constancy of the Ck moments. Sothe experimental observation of the rise of the discrete Ck moments withenergy does not contradict KNO-G in any way.
4.4 The Wroblewski relation
Following the KNO-G formalism, we can write
(D2/<n>)2 = <n2>An>2-1 = J l\(z)dz-1 = const(s) .
Hence
D, = constx<n> = A<n> ,
but it can be easily shown [9] that
<n> 3 <n>*0.5 and D, £ D, .
Then
0 2 a D, = A<n> s A(<n>-0.5) ,
where h = 0,1,2,3. . . (e.g. a negative multiplicity in pp collisions) If wechange to ncu (nc^=2,4,6.. . , ncn=2"2n), we immediately get the well-knownWroblewski relation [5]:
D2 = A«n c h>-1) .
Therefore, the Wroblewski «-elation is a simple derivative of KNO-G.
4.5 Generalization of the Wroblewski dependence
It is easy to see that not only the second-order discrete and continuousdispersions are approximately equal, but that this holds for any k-orderdispersion:
\ , Dk, Dk = [I(n-<n»kPn]1/k .
For targe enough <n> we immediately get
O k s A k « n > * 0 . 5 ) .
In generai, instead of the multiplicity measure n ( n = 0 , 1 , 2 . 3 . . . ) , a measurem is used (m=mo*ln), e .g .
PP collisions: m0 = 2, I = 1; m = n . = 2*2n (2 ,4 .6 ,S . . )it p collisions: m0 = 0, I = 2; m = n . = 0~2n CO.2,4,6. ..'>
306
vp collisions: m6 = 1, I = 2; m = n c h = 1*2n (1 ,3 ,5 ,7 . . . )
Therefore, because of the charge conservation, we can write [9] ageneralized Wroblewski relation:
D km s Ak(<m>-mo*l/2) ,
for example:pp collisions: D. s A
k (<n c ( ,>-1) , k = 1,2,3...n'p collisions: Dk = Ak(<n |.
>h>*l) / k = 1.2,3...
vp collisions: Dk 3 ^k l - nc h : > ' k = ^,2,3. . .
In fact, it was observed experimentally that D. ( k= l ,2 ,3 . . . ) moments wereexactly related to <nch"> °V t h e above formulae [10.11,15]. but thisobservation was never understood. Now we can say that this is mostprobably a simple consequence of KNO-G scaling arid the chargeconservation law.
4.6 Quantitative test of KNO-G scaiing
Figure 3 demonstrates in a graphical way that KNO-G scaiinc works forall avvisble pp data t'vs=2.5-62.2 GeV). To do the test in a morequantitative way, the function of th« form
2<t>u(z) = -(1-az)e , a = \ nv'b-2b .
has been fitted to the whole set of pp multiplicity data [9] , The y,"obtained was^ rather good I if systematic errors of the data ere taken intoaccount): x" / f s i D -1 -26 J9]. It should be stressed that although the fittedfunction <fc has only one free parameter b lb=0.6273~0.0CK1!. it is still ableto describe all available pp inelastic multiplicity data with very goodprecision. The best illustration of this precision is the comparison betweenthe behaviour of the different multiplicity moments wrth energy, and thetheoretical predicted' behaviour using the function <J>C . i.e. "
P t h (<n>,v») = •D[<'ri*l)/<n>]-<|>0(n/<n>) .n
where <n> E <n>*0.5 [9] .SUich a' comparison is shown in Figs. 4 and 5 [D=D.,, $=DAn>, Y-J =
i V D , Yo = ny'D - Cj. - <nk>/<n>k, u^ = 2(n-<n>)kP r ] . ~ As can be seen,tne solid line follows the data behaviour exactly, thus again providingproof for the KN'O-G scaling validity in a whole energy range for allinelastic events.
5. EXTRAPOLATION TO THE COLLIDER EMERGIES
It should be stressed that at the most the standard KNO scaling isbelieved to work only at high enough energies, say in the !SR energyrange [6 ,3 ] , which leads one to suspect that the scaling function iy(i) willstill continue to change above the ISR energy range [5] Therefore, anyextrapolation froir !SR energies to the very much higher SPS Collider
3C7
energies may produce a fortuitous result. The situation is completelydifferent if one takes into account the KNO-G scaling. Since KNO-Gscaling is really perfect in the whole energy range, it should be relativelysafe to use it tor extrapolation.
Furthermore, it should be noted that it was not necessary to subtract adiffractive component from the data in order to obtain perfect KNO-Gscaling. So an experiment measuring multiplicity distributions for allinelastic events at the SPS Collider is very much needed. Again it shouldbe stressed that so-calied 'non-diffractive' or 'non-single-ciffractive' datasamples usually have very large uncertainties because of differences causedby the subtraction of a diffractive component. Unfortunately, the onlyexisting SPS Collider multiplicity data that measure secondariesapproximately in a full solid angle are of the non-diffractive type [1]
In order to compare the extrapolation within KNO-G witfc the recentUA5 data [1], the validity of KNO-G should be checked for lower-energynon-diffractive data, which should lead to the scaling function $o
r' , andthen extrapolation could be performed. We use Fei-milab and ISRnon-diffractive data (for references, see [9]) , and get the following bestfit of the scaling function:
<t>o"d(z) = -(T0.11042)e"°-39242 , x ' /NO = 1.42 .
We now only need to know the average multiplicity to be expected at Vs=540GeV. Using the extrapolation within the 'log formula, we get <n>=12.!1[9]. A comparison of the KNO-G predictions with the UAS data is shownin Fig. 6. ft is clearly seen that the experimental data differ from theKNO-G predictions only at the high-multiplicity tail. Also seen are ratherworrying 'snake-type' fluctuations in the data. .Assuming that the UA5data are correct, it can be claimed that on top of the usual particleproduction mechanism responsible for the KNO-G scaling, there is evidenceof an extra process contributing to the high multiplicities.
6. .SUMMARY AND CONCLUSIONS
The scaling derived by Koba, Mielsen and Otesen for asymptoticenergies is very often applied to tht low-energy data, where its formulationis not self-consistent. Golokhvastov proposed a minimal possible extensionof KNO scaling, making it self-consistent for all energies. This resulted ina number of consequences which are now completely changing ourunderstanding of th« multiplicity scaling concept. These are summarizedbelow.
6.t Inelastic data
6.1.1 Validity of the scaling
Standard approach: The scaling is badly violated if one takes into accountthe whole energy range. It may work locally at a given smali energyrange, but only approximately.New approach: The validity of the scaling is confirmed over the whole
energy range with one scaling function (one free parameter).
308
6.1.2 Usual checks of the scaling
Standard approach: The rise with energy o* the normalized moments (e.g.C^) is a direct proof of the scaling violation.
New approach: KNO-G implies the rise cf the normalized moments withenergy (Figs. 4 and 5J, exactly as observed in the experiments.
Standard approach: KNO breaks down because o< the exact validity of theWroblewski relation [D-AUn h>-a), a=1 for the pp data].
New approach: The Wroblewski relation is a simple consequence of KN'O-G.
Standard approach: The parameter a has a dynamical origin connectedwith the leading-particle effect.
New approach: The parameter a. which should be exactly 1 for the ppdata, {for each k-orcier dispersion t ^k = A k ' ! ' n -h > " 1 ' - ' has a o u r e |Vmathematical origin. This is a consequence of going from the continuous tothe discrete multiplicity. The dynamics is hidden in the A^ parameter!
6.2 Non-diffraetive data
An introductory remark: (n our opinion the KN'O tests based onson-diffractive data are of poorer quality than those based on data frominelastic events. Thft is due to the uncertainties caused by thesubtraction »f a singl« diffractive component, especially in low-energy data.
6.2.1 'Ideal KNO scaling'
Standard approach: There i& » belief that in this case the dispersion isrelated to In* average by the formula D=A<n .>.N*w approach: H the rton^diffractive data, were to obey KMO-G scaling,
the relation would he the same as for all meiastrc events [D iA'Knc^>-U],and tfiit seems to be the case if »ne tooks more carefully at the data [91.
Standard approach: There is no ri&e of the Cy. moments with energywithin the ISft energy rancte.
Nei ap-proech: There, fs n.c rise seen within the !SR energy range owingto the large experimental «rrors and the fact that, already at this energyrartge, th* C^ moments rise with energy in a logarithmic fashion (Fig. 5).
$.2.2 Comparison with UA5 data
Standard approach: Clear observation of the scaling violation in the wholemultiplicity range.
New approach: Only the tail of the multiplicity distribution (n , >40) is notconsistent wrtfi extrapolation within KNO-C scaling. However, the tails ofthe multiplicity distributions ar* subject to large systematic errors.Therefore, before arriving at fina) conclusions about the scaling violation,there is need for new multiplicity data measured by a different experiment.

OS THE CONSTITUENT QU/LBK CROSS SBCTI08S

V. Simak and J. Vavra *

We have revised additive quark aodal for i n e l a s t i c
hadronic cross sect ions with i t s implications to the average
charged m u l t i p l i c i t i e s . She correction to addit ive quark
model (AQK) ia on the l e v e l of 3 ab onljr i f we take into
account a l l possible luark-quark cross s e c t i o n s . We have
attributed average charged m u l t i p l i c i t i e s to the const i tuent
quarks cross sect ions and found soae r e g u l a r i t i e s accroding
to flavour of the quarks.
Total and i n e l a s t i c cross sect ions ia
Several studies of the total cross sect ions has been
devoted to the regular i t ies in to ta l cross sect ions .£*•! •
The most popular among the models appeared to be additive
quark aodel [%] . I t s version [ }} with the two cooponent

Multiplicities in AQK
If we consider that the observed multiplicities could
be a result of an individual constituent quark-quark inte-
ractions we may adapt the similar additivity as for total
cross sections (eq (1) ) for the integrated inclusive cross
sections:
where <^*Ou.'correspond to the aultiplicity of the charged
particles produced in the individual quark-quark interactions
and the ^<*">/k is aultiplieity correction to the additivity.
Experimental data have been •proxiaattd by ***J •••*•/»*«« Ats.
As we have no complete set of experimental data of multiplicities
with neutron target we use experimental multiplicities with
proton target and solve eg (2) under the assumptions suggested
by results on ^
iZThen we have six different unknown elementary interactions
uu, uu, ud, su, su, /S , for which we can determine both €*9 ? /
and < f ^ f / from £^( »*') and * <•">!,*'. The eorrespondiqg
solution of eq (2) under conditions (3) is presented in Pig.4.
Interesting result seems to be the rapid increase of multiplicity
330
. which ia associates with non additive part of inelastic
cross section /istJ .
From the general rules of additive quark model (2) one
can derive the relations among the average multiplities and
inelastic cross sections, which do not depend on correction
factor fi end *"- t '» with assumption
aao <'<H> .<;.».> we have obtained relations:
(4)
*\
(5)
which ere coapared r i th experiment in Fig.5 .
In all calculations for v««' and *^M\» we have
two types of cinematics : (i) without kineaatie correction,
i.e. s(q,q))=s(H,H^ and (ii) with kineaatic correction »(q,q')=
s(H,H')/lAB) where k,h are the number of constituent quarks
in badrons CA=2,3; B=3). There seeos to be no easentialy
difference ixi the results in respect to the type of used kine-
matics. However the kinematics (ii) leads to the corrections
to A3! which are leas sensitive to the primary energy (Fig.3).

for both classes of events esept for the region Sj_= O.2-C.3 GeV/c i.e.
the range where the absorption cross section is aaxiaai.
In fig. 11 we give the angular distributions sf-pret-one in
two momentum intervals measured in the v* -t-experimeEt. The data
are compared -with the intranuclear cascade model -with and without
pion absorption. As one can see the contribution of the process
T"(BS) —** M is sro%7ing both with the proton production angle*
and with its momentum. The nodel including this process describes
the data well.
Cumulative protons must be produced independently if their
source is secondary intranuclear rescattering. Then their multi-
plicity distribution (fig. 12) should be described by a ?6isaon
distribution. Such a curve (dashed line in fig. 12) noraalizac
to ITg = 0 does not describe the data. However the noraalisatioas
is not correct because e.g. quasi-fres interactions at the peri-
phery of the nucleus can not produce cumulative protons. There-
fore we fitted only the experimental data wita ST?*^ tc a Pcisscs •
distribution and found good agreement for ali sorts of beais par-
ticles (solid line in fig. 12).

Again the cascade model including absorption (full line
histogram) describes the data well in contr&s. to the nodel
without; this process (dashed lijie histograa).
In V A-interactions we investigated the correlation between
the mean multiplicity of cumulative protons £ !;_,> ana tie Eus'cer
of protons H (with p >.3 GeV/e) in the forward hemisphere.
Normally it is assumed that I? is proportional to the nurr.oer
of intranucleer interactions. As ore can see in fig. 13 the
experimental dependence of <ci;=> on E is nearly- linear agair-
supporting the assumption that intranuclear resoatterir^ is
the source cf c maulstire proton production-. Both aodeis of

various spatial distributions of the emission sources have been ae-

always be directly compared with results of other authors. In order

?he present work concerns the investigation cf the electrasasaeticcascades in lead and lead-ssiatillalor calorimeter ^iiieii art oftenused in e/eulaioa chaaber experiments. The investigations vere per-formed by 'analysis of the cascades using the ^Kite-Carlo method.The simulations were based on the detailed modelling of a three-dimensional propagation of particles allowing for all processes inwhich parviales say participate.
The accurate knowledge of the lateral distributions is indispen-sable ic the analysis of extensive air showers, data tssa lar/re oa-
s, emulsion chambers and other ecscic rsy phenomena at highThe experiments that probe energies significantly beyond

In the HAS research•ridely applied is tile method cf estimation of funcasental parsne-xers / i . e . a^s parameter and the number of particles/ based on as-sumption ^hat lateral distributions of particles in air Phowc-rs areof the s=ce type as in the electromagnetic cascades. In 3IAS experi-ment i t is difficult to aeas>ire directly the lateral distributionsof particles in individual showers. 'The lateral distributions areusually reconstructed by fitting the theoretical JXu function totne ezpcris(=ntally measured density of particles at several distan-ces from the shower axis. Certain experiseni-al data and the inves-i-i&ations of electroEatnexic cascade in air bj- use of Mcate-Carlcmethod indicate -char .he greneraliy used HZS c-urv-es are pro"baolyinaccurate / the so-called age pasracietar of 5AS obtained on thebasis of the U3<?d lateral distribution. funstiOE. vas surprisinglysnail: saalier tnen 'anity, althou^a the .eoEsides-ed showere v.'erewell belov Eaxisua of thsir dsvelopaent/i

1. Introduction
The aim of this talk is to present a short review on the anomaliesof gauge theories, in particular of If = 1 supersynnetric gauge theo-ries. The scope being bounded by the space at disposal and by the litpi*«of my own knowledge, too, I shall oranit subjects like the relation ofthe anomalies with topology, index theorems, etc... as veil as the prob-lem of anomalies in (super) gravitation and superstrings. Beginning inSection 2 with a very summarised account on the derivation of the gaugeanomaly In d = 4 usual Yang-Mills theories. Which will allow a* tointroduce the concept of anomaly as a non-trivial solution of the con-sistency conditions, I give in Section 3 sous generalizations to sj-:<ce-tines of arbitrary even dimension : this vill give ae the opportunity tointroduce some useful differential geometrical concepts. Section 4 isdevoted to the (sketchy) proof of the existence «ad uniqueness of thesupersymmetric gauge anomaly in d » 4, Jr * 1 super-lfang-HAlls theo-ries (SYM). I present briefly ir. Section 5 quite recent results on theexplicit computation of the anomaly in STO theories.
2. Yang-Bills theories in 4 dimensions
As this section owes to be an introduction to the subject of gaugeanomalies I shall not follow the historical path (1,2} but instead startdirectly with the pertuxbative derivation of the chiral anomaly as givenin 1975 by Becchi, Soviet and Stora [33, who first prove its uniqueness.More recent developments [4] in the fraaework of differential geometry

The matrices T represent the generators of G ir. the natter fieldrepresentation. For the gauge fields we use the matrix notation

where the 5. 's can be taken as the generators of G in the fundamentalrepresentation.

One can show - at least for cases where «1Z fields inciudinc thefieias are aade aassive through the Eiggt aechatiiSB - that the fulfill-nent of the Slavnov itentity allows for the existence at a yr.ittry S-•atrix I3,7]. Or. the other hajKi, if one cannot fulfill the Slevnpvidentity there is no unitary S-matrix, hence no particle physics inter-pretation of the theory : sne says that there is an anoaaly, sc-re pre-cisely a gauge anomaly.

369
the anomaly is derived by an explicit computation of the chiral aacterfields loops, the prepotential being considered as an external fiald.The results are in She fora of a parametric integral with an integrandof "finite size" (but the perfor* of the integral yields an infiniteseries again). the different results axe difficult to coa^are, as theynay differ by BRS variations of local fonctionals of T. The l*tterpoint may explain the puzzle encountered by the authors of Jtef. [27] -.the anomaly they find contains terns which are not proportional to thesymmetric invariant tensor dj jc. As they themselves argue, there ten*could well be sea* BRS variations. In fact, doe to the uniqueness of theanomaly (see above}, it must be so.
Another set of papers [18,19,20] addresses the probla* of computingthe anomaly by extending to superspace the differential geometry KethodI indicated in Section 4. The task is made difficult by the fact thatsuperspace forma [22] cannot be integrated : forms like dfi^AdBj A ...do not define volume elements since for Qrassaanc variables £ the dif-ferentials d9 coanute (see however 129}, where an integration theoryfor suitably generalized superforas is proposed). This difficulty iscricunvented in the following- way. First, transgression foraula (3.S)are written for the superconnections (l-s

It is now easy to see that the red&fined gauge anoaaly
i'(V,c,c) = i_(*,c) - sS(V) (5.13)G G
is supersymmetric (use (5.10), (5.11) :
s l'(V,c,c) = 0 (5.14)susy G
and fulfills the gauge consistency condition :

Girardi et al. [18] had previously found, by differential geonetricmethods, too, an expression for the same anomaly - which could differfrom that of Bonora et al. at mast by the BK£ variation ~f a local func-tional of V due to the uniqueness [25] of the anomaly.
The conmon feature of all the results I have Dentionned is the r.on-polynomial character of the supersycaietric anosaly. That it aust is. factbe so is the content of theorem proved by Perrara et al. Ill] : the super-svnanetric gauge anomaly cannot - in the case of a semi-simple gauge group- be expressed as a polynomial in the superconnection coefficients (5.2),or even in the oore general expressions

1. Recently there is an increasing interest in supersymmet-
ric theories and their experimental signatures. In These theori-
es liatioraaa fermions inevitably appear, for instance, as super-
partners of the photon, Ji and Higgs bosons. So, an observation
of Lajcrane, particles will be of particular importance for super-
synssetry. Calculations of the cross sections for production of
iiaclcrana neutrals have been done in a number of papers' "^'.
Tness calculation have anown that it cay be possible to 3ee

In this paper we shall analyse the production of two diffe-
rent 12s.J.o.r&n& fersuoiis .( and \ in the process

So, bsi evidence for process (1) mroulfi be a iepton pair and a

it would be impossible to distinguish process (1) froc processes (11)

Thus, if the process of production of two Dlrac particles in fi' » -
collision is detected by observation of the pair ( and r , the
cross section Qf this process obeys the seoe symmetry relation as
the corresponding cross section for production at * peir of Hajoran*
particles. Therefore, this synaaetry relation would not be a sigcatu-
re for iia^orana particles production*.
Note that all the relations obtained here would be exact ones
if CP-invariauce holds. So, any devie-.iopis fros. then would c« aa evi-

SUPERSPACE QUANTIZATION OF GAUGE THEORIES;
GAUGE-FIXING ASP GHOST TERMS IK N=1 SUPERGRAVITY

1. Introduction
In many physical problems it takes some time before the
correct "simple" system is found which admits a straightforward
analysis. Sometimes the system at first considered become*
simple only when considered as part of a larger entity. Of
many examples which could be cited, I will consider here two \
which are closely related to the case I am concerned with.
The first example is N=l supergravity. A spin-3/2 field, con-
sidered in isolation, turns out to be a rather complex system,
and its quantization presents great.difficulties. On the other
396
hand, a spin-3/2 field, coupled in the very specific way pre-
scribed by N=: supergravity to a spir.-2 field, is surprisingly
tractable. At the classical level, the combined system admits
a well-posed initial value problem, with causal solutions'" .
Also at the quantum level supergravity is well-behaved; it is
both one- and two-loop finite, whereas pure gravity diverges
at the two-loop level1 '. The second example I wisn to n>.».-r!-
tior. is quantum Yanq-Mills theory, which is by itself rencr-
roalizable, but for which the N=4 supersymmetric extension is
finite^ . In both cases it is of course the increased symmetry
of the extended system, here supersynunetry, which explains the
improved behaviour.
The strategy of the superspace quantization methods is
similar to that used in the above examples. The classical gauge
theory under consideration is extended by the inclusion of
certain auxiliary and ghost fields, coupled to the original
fields in a specific way, such that the eorabinec system is
"supersynrnetric". The supersymmetry referred to here is not
the usual one based on the Poincare superalgebra, but the 8RS-
symmetry based on the Kugo-Ojiir.a algebra-of conserved charcss1 " .
The supersymmetric system is most conveniently described in
a superspaee formalism. The extended system giver rise to s
quantum theory which is unitary by construction, and in the
case of ordinary Jang-Mill* fields, renormalizable.
In the very early literature on the quantisation of non-
Abeiian gauge theories the ghost fields were introduced in a
completely ad hoc manner, in such a way as to preserve units-
rity . Later the Paddeev-Popov mechanism became the con-
ventional framework for quantizing gauge theories. The super-
space quantization approach is, for ordinary gauge theories,
and for supersyjnmetric Yang-Mills theory, a perhaps more ele-
gant alternative to the Faddeev-Popov procedure. For super-
gravity tae usual Faddeev-Popov procedure- breaks down, but the
superspace method allows also here the correct determination
of the quantum Lagrangian.
399
The superspace quantization method in essentially it*
present form was introduced by Bonora and Tor.in foe rhe case1-7-1
of ordinary Yang-Mills fields , and was systematized and
extended by various authors . In the presett paper we
briefly review the method for ordinary and supersymmetric
Yang-Mills theory, and for quantum gravity, before presenting
the case of primary interest, N-1 quantum supergravity.
2. Ordinary Yan^-Kills Theory
We briefly review the usual fonwiisticn of ordinary Yang-
Mills theory. The underlying manifold is 4-dimensiontl space-
time, with coordinates x « (x°,x',». ,x ). Th€ primary dynami-
cal variable is the gauge potenial h (x), describing a spin-1
field, with field strength
{'••>
We are using here the customary matrix notation *...<*) *Ai(x).t'.,
where the T^ are the generators of the gauge group, and simi-
larly for F . A gauge transformation is written as
(2)
a(x) al6O being matrix valued, and the gauge potential snd
liield strength transforms according tc
"1 iv, ou).
The classical Yang-Mills Lagrsngian
is manifestly gauge invariant.
400
When we attempt to quantize the Yang-Mills theory,
starting from Eq. (5), we inur.edlately run into difficulties
related to the singular nature of this Lagrangian. A gauge-
fixing tern is usually introduced at this point, the volume
of the gauge group is divided out of the functional integral
according to the Faddeev-Popov procedure, etc. Instead of
following this route the superspace method extends the ori-
ginal system in the following fashion.
The underlying manifold is taken to be the superspace
with coordinates (x,e,6), where x stands for the specstime
coordinates, and P ,6 are anticonssiuting Grassrcan variables.
The local gauge transformation is now a function of (x,6,P),
and car. be written, up tc an ordinary gauge transformation,
as
Lifco a(x) in Bq. (2) the objects c(xi, c(x) an£ b(x) are all
matrix-valued. Th*y express the degrees of freedom associated
with this general gauge transformation, and correspond in the
usual foirwiisjr. to the Faddeev-Popov ghosts, antighosts, and
auxiliary fields, respectively. The particular combination of
fields in the #f coefficient in Eq. (t) is just chosen for
convenience, so as to make this correspondence exact, other-
wise the fields used here would be mixtures of the usual ones.
Th« primary dynamical object of the theory is a super-
field A (x,t,8!, which results from the usual gauge potential
by a g«r>araliz6d gauge transformation:
'%, e, o) A^ixJ if t%, *, ej(7)
401
Inserting the explicit form of U(x,6,9) front Eq. (6) yields
the exp

the expansion of A, (x,s,S> in terms of ordinary spaceticie
Here D, is the covariant derivative:
etc. We see that the saperfield % (x,e,S) contains the ordinary
gauge field as lowest component, plus the ghost, antighost,
and auxiliary fields in its higher components. The field strength
corresponding to A is
The classical Lagrangian of Eq. {5} is expressed in this for-
malism as

Performing the d9d9 integarations according to the rules of
Berezin integration, and usiag the component expz~ sion of the
A. field of Sq. (8), leads to the following expression:
The first tern corresponds, after partial integration and con-
sideration of the Euler-Lagrange eq. for the auxialisry fie." 3 b,
402
to the cov'eriarit gajge-fixing condition 5WA = 0. The second
term corresponds to the Faddeev-Popov tera in the usual for-
mulation, it gives the kinetic tenr. for the ghost fields as
well as the ghoet-gauge-£ield coupling.

with tnat obtained for the gaugs-fixing and Faddeev-Pcpov terms
by the Faddeev-Popov method, see, e.g. Ref. [12]. Further de-
tails of tne superspace quantization calculation?, for super-
syaimetrie Vang-Kills theory are given in Xef. [133.
4. Ei.-tStsln Gravity
In the Einstein-Cartan fornralation iravitaticnai theory
involves two symmetry groups, local Lorentz invariance, and
general coordinate invariance. The independent cynaniical va-
riables in the first-order formalism are the Lorentz connection
»u and the 4-bein e". in the superspace quanti3ation method
these1 quantities are extended to superfields in > way similar
to that shown explicitly in the previous cases. The quantum
action is

JHere ct, c,, b are ghcst- and auxiliary fields ?.isociatea with
the local Lozentz symmetry, c^ , cV", B are associated with
the general coordinate symmetry. The Euler-Lagrar.je eg. for
the auxiliary field B is
which is the-; familiar gauge condition for harmonic coordinates.r i a i
The expression (19) agrees with that obtained by Nakar.ishi'
by another method. Further details or. the superspace approach
to quantum gravity are given in Ref. "15].
5. $='• Eupergravity
Supergravity is invariant with respect to local Lorentz,
general coordinate, and local supersyrraetry transformations.
The primary dynamical object is the 4-bein e^(x) describing
the graviton. Its suaercpace extension with respect to local
supersymmetry transformations includes the gravitino field
• (x). The action is
In terms of components this yields three gauge-fixinc Lagran-
gians, the first fixes the gauge with respect tc local Lorentz
transformations, the second with respect to general coordinate
transformations, the tnird with respect to local superEymmetry
transformations:
[22)
The S-fields are as usual auxilisry fields associated with
the various symmetries. To lowest order in the field
e^ a s* + h*" the above expressions reduce to
. (23)
r 1 6 *lThese are the expressions usually given in the literature1"
In higher order calculations, however, it would really be
necessary to use the full expressions given in Eqs. (22),
along with the associated ghost terms, in order to preserve
unitarity in the perturbation series. Further details concer-
ning the superspace quantization of supergravity are giver in
Ref. [17]. Compare also Ref. [103.
6. Conclusions
The superspace formulation discussed here provides a na-
tural setting for the various fields involved in guantum gauge
theories. For conventional theories the effective quantum
Lagrangian is easily obtained^ in agreement with the results
of the Faddeev-Popov procedure. In contrast to -chat method,
here the gauge-fixing and ghost terms are produced simulta-
neously. In N=1 supergravity the Faddeev-Pcpov method is not
applicable in its usual form, but the superspace quantization
approach yields also in this case an exactly BRS-invariant
Lagrangian, which agrees with the form known in the literature
in the weak field limit. The full Lagrangian includes quartic
ghost couplings , and other terms which do not arise in
the usual Faddeev-Popov procedure, but which are necessary to
ensure unitarity.

We give an introduction into "Theorem Proving1 by presentingthe basic notions of propositicnal logic and predicate logic.The equivalent formula manipulations permit the transforma-tion of a statement to clausal form, and Herbrand's Theorem,supplemented by the Davis-Putnam rules, can give an 'inprinciple' proof of its correctness. Modern theorem provinghowever is based on the resolution principle which uses uni-fication, factorisation and resolution to derive new clauses;they eventually will lead to a contradiction (refutation)proof. The large number of possible clauses is reduced by afirst resolution refinement: the deletion strategy. In thistutorial we skip all proofs but add illustrative examples.

1. INTRODUCTION
Over the past decade, theorem proving or more general, auto-
mated reasoning, has developed into a powerful scientific
tool whose potential is becoming gradually visible now. Al-
lowing for automated,' deductive reasoning within the frame-
work of logic, it has become an important discipline of ar-
tificial intelligence. Originally, it grew out of mathemati-
cal research domains which sometimes seem closer to logic or
even philosophy than applied mathematics or (theoretical-)
physics. And yet, the applications of theorem proving sy-
stems in 'practical' problems Of pure and applied research
is impressive. We mention just a few cf them: proving or dis-
proving theorems in group-theory, set-theory and Boolean al-
gebra, real-time systems control, logic circuit design and
validation, puzsle solving, robotics control, advanced pro-
gram analysis and computer science in general, expert sy-
stems, and so on. And the number of applications keeps
growing!
These notes are intended as a rapid introduction into the ba-
sic terminology and the main tools of this field. We conse-
quently limit ourselves to a presentation of results and
their practical use, referring for the detailed proofs to
the specialized literature.
Section 2 gives a short introduction into the history cf lo-
gic and theorem proving. In section 3 and 4 we present the
proposition*} logic and first-order predicate logic which
allow for"equivalent formula manipulations to arrive at the
clausal form of a'statement; this is the starting point of
the successive deductive steps. Section 5 discusses Her-
brand's Theorem and the Davis-Putnam rules which provide, at
least in principle, an algorithm to prove a statement, if
the statement indeed is true. Modern theorem proving is ba-
sed on the resolution principle which we present in section
6 whereby the notions: unification, factorisation and reso-
lution are explained. In section 7 we demonstrate how a first
step towards resolution-refinements can be achieved, and
section 8 is reserved for our conclusions.

The second cart of this tutorial will focus on the many re-
solution refinements, and in the third part we discuss the
practical applications of existing theorem proving systems.
2. HISTORY OF THEOREM PROVING
In this section we trace the ir in steps in the development
of present-day theorem proving or automated reasoning.
Theorem proving [lj-[5j is based on 'Symbolic Logic1 which
was influenced, to £ .large extent, by ihree scientists:
Aristotle, Boole and Frege. In ancient Greece, Aristotle
("350 B.C.) was the first to try to describe the laws of lo-
gic, meaning the forms that correct arguments could take.
Note the emphasis on "the forms...", since logicians, in ge-
neral, are not concerned with the content of arguments, but
only with their forms. Unfortunately, Aristotle's list of 19
Syllogisms does not exhaust the correct argument forms. In
1654 G. Boole invented 'Boolean Algebra', a mathematical
theory covering the way in which elementary sentences
(propositions) can be combined with connecting words
(connectives) like 'and', 'or1, "if, etc. G. Frege's 1B79
publication of the 'Begriffschrift' opened up the modern pe-
riod of logic. In his 'Predicate Logic' the building blocks
are object* (nair.ee, variables,...) and relations (predi-
cates) between them. We thus have the possibility, to combi-
ne the tbility of the- propoeitional iogic to construct new
sentences from old ones, vith the syllogistic ability to
delv« ir.tc the internal structure of the sentences. Predica-
te logic thu* includes all the correct forms of both of it*
predecessors, and more besides. Since 1879, the predicate
calculus has been pushed by a series of major mathematical
discoveries to the present highly developed state.
The roots of theorem proving go back to the 17th century
where 7. Hobbes in 1655 advanced the view that logic reaso-
ning might be reduced to and understood as a kind of symbo-
lic calculation or formula manipulation. In 1666, G.W. Leib-
niz put forward * concrete realization by proposing that
every concept should be assigned a code number. Either it
would be a prime-number if the concept was not further ana-
lyzable into simpler ideas (primitives), or else it would be
the 'product' or conjunction of two or more ideae (compo-
sites). The numerical multiplication of cod* numbers would
thus be associated with tb* 'logical multiplication' of the
concept for which the numbers stand. Around the turn of this
century, these ideas were revived by G. Peano, which, howe-
ver, is more known for his axioms concerning the arithmetic
of the natural numbers.
The development of theorem proving in the early 20th century
is almost undissociable from the 'Foundations of Mathematics'
in which notions as 'set', 'funtion', etc. were analysed,
with B. Russel (1902) as one of its well-known exponents.
Around 1920, D. Hiifoert initiated the construction and study
of a logical formalism in which the proof-methods, to esta-
blish the properties of a system, would be unquestionable as
to their trustworthyness. With the security of the logical
tools firmly established, he then hoped to move into forma-
lized mathematical theories and prove there to be consistent.
Whilst formalizing the 'semantics of the system', with in-
tuitive notions as 'truth', 'satisfiability', etc., A. Tarski
(1936) used Cantor's (1895) general set and transfinite num-
ber theory to portray the totality of all models of a pure
predicate calculus.
The work of K. GSdel (v>1930) is by many considered as the
greatest mathematical discoveries of all times. Be showed
that any formalized theory of arithmetics must always be de-
fective in one of two ways: either if would be INCOMPLETE,
meaning that some true formula ('true' in the intended
interpretation) would not be provable, or else it would be
INCONSISTENT in the sense that all formulas, true and false
alike, would be provable; moreover, if the formalised theory
is in fact CONSISTENT, then the proof of its consistency
would of necessity have to transcend by appeal to principles
that have been left out of the theory. The consistency of a
mathematical theory can therefore only be proven in metaia*-
thematics, if at all.
Finding a general decision procedure to verify th« validity/
inconsistency of a formula was considered iong ago. It was
not until A. Church (1936) and A.M. Turing (1936) that this
was proved impossible. Church and Turing independently sho-
wed that there was no general decision procedure to decide .
"a priori' on the true- or falsehood of formulas in first-
order predicate logic. However there are proof procedures
which can verify that a formula i£ 'valid' , i_f indeed it is
valid. For invalid formulas, these procedures in general
will never terminate. lr: view of the result of Church and
Turing this is the best we can expect to get from any proof
procedure.
A concrete realization of the Church/Turing"result was given
already in 1930 by J. Herbrand. By definition, a valid for-
mula is true under all its interpretations. Herbrand there-
fore developed an algorithm to find ar, interpretation that
falsifies a given formula. However, if the civen formula is
indeed valid, no such interpretation can exist and the algo-
rithm will hait after a finite number of trials, -if the for-
mula is not 'valid', meaning that it can be 'invalid', 'con-
sistent ' or 'inconsistent', the algorithm will either ex-
haust the search space in which case we can be sure of the
'invalidity' of the formula, or it will continue the search
for ever without giving a clear answer either way. Hersrands
procedure was very difficult to apply since it was extremely
tirae consuming to carry out by hand. Kith the development of
more and more performing computers, logicians again became
interested in mechanical theorem proving. In 1960, Herbrend's
procedure was implemented on a digital computer by D. Prawitz
and P. Gilmore, followed shortly by • more efficient proce-
dure proposed by M. Davis and H. Putnam. These early attempts
were in that sense disheartening that they required an ex-
plosive number of trials to supply a proof, which rendered
Herbrand's idaa somewhat impractical. Instead of trying all
instantiations of Herbrand Universe, J.A. Robinson proposed
in 1963 the 'Unification Algorithm' which, in some sense,
predicts which trials will produce a "winning combination".
A major breakthrough in mechanical theorem proving was achi-
ved in 1965 by J.A. Robinson Cl]r he developed a single in-
ference rule, the 'Resolution Principle', which was shown to
be highly efficient and quite easy to implement on computers.
413
Since that moment, theorem proving has developed enormously
with resolution-refinements being proposed such as : set-of-
support R., Linear R., Paramodulation R.. and many other re-
solutions 12 2, and with efficient theorem proving programs
being developed [3]. The field of application of these pro-
grams rapidly extended beyond logic and mathematics [4] into
all areas where deductive reasoning is required, thus lea-
ding to the term; automated reasoning £5}.
3. PROPOSITIOKAL LOGIC
Symbolic logic consideres languages whose essential purpose
is to symbolize reasoning encountered not only in mather.a-
tics, but also in practical problems of technical nature,
and even in daily life. In this section we introduce the
principle notions of prepositional logic (or the propositio-
nal calculus) which was invented by George Boole in 1854.
Proposition;
A proposition is any declarative sentence that is either
true or false, but not both. The symbols suph as P, C and P.
that are used to denote-elementary propositions, are alsc
called atoms.
Example 1: P : It is hot. S : The sun shines.
fl : It is humid. H : People go swisaning.
R i It will rain. T : People play tennis.
Logical Connectives;
From propositions, we can build compound propositions try
usind the logical connectives :f(not), V(orK Aland;,
,—— (if ..then), • — (if and only if m iff). These five logi-
cal connectives can be used to build compound propositions
from atoms, and more generally they can be used to build mo-
re complicated compound propositions by applying them repea-
tedly. The binding strength Ot the logical connectives grows
in the above listed order with <*l acting on its closest atoro
and * » reaching farthest.
Example 2:
D^ : If it is hot and humid, then it will rain : (PA Q) —«.R
D 2 : If it is humid, then it is hot .• 0 —* P
Dj : It is humid now : Q
C : It will rain : R
G ^ [(Dj A D2 A. D 3)—*C]
The formulas in Dj are the hypotheses, whereas the conjectu-
re is represented by the formula in C.
The £ -sign assigns a formula to the symbol on its left-hand
s ide.
Formulas:
Formulas in the propositional logic are defined recursively:
(i) An atom is a formula,
(ii) If G and H are formulas, then ( M G ) , (~H),
(GAHJ, (GVH), (G — + R ) , (G •-» H) are formulas,
(iii) All formulas are generated by applying the above ru-
les.
Example 3: G [((SV(PAQ)M (*R)) — * i.HVS)Z
G : If the sun shines , or •
if it is hot and hur-.id, and
if it will not rain ,
then people go swimming , or
then people play tennis . '
Truth Value:
The T(true) or T(false), assigned to an atom, is called
its truth value and denoted as: TV(P) « { T o r T } .
415
Truth Table:
The truth value of a formula is determined by the successive
application of the following truth table
G

Interpretation;
Given a prepositional formula G, let A^,...,An be the atoms
occurring in the formula 6. Then an 'interpretion I of G' is
an assignment of truth values to Ai...An in which every kx
is assigned either T(true) or T*(fal»e). but not both.
The truth value of the propositional formula G, as detenni-
ned by repeated application of the truth table, can there-
fore be different for different interpretations:
TVj(G) • T,T* . The following terminology is in use: "G is
satisfied/falsified by I', or "I satisfies/falsifies G*. Ar.
interpretation I that satisfies G is called 'a model':

Note, we frequently use -the short-hand notation (.. it

symbols however are not part of symbolic logics.
Valid. Invalid, Inconsistent, Consistent:
A formula G is said to be 'valid', iff it is true under all
its interpretations: Vl: TVjiG) » T. A valid formula is
also called a 'tautology1 f B } .
A formula G is said to be 'invalid', iff there exists an
interpretation under which the formula is false:
31: TVx(Gj = T .
A formula G is said to be 'inconsistent', iff it is false
under all its interpretations: V I: 7Vj(G} =T* . Ar incon-
sistent formula is also called a 'contradiction' i5* C3 ), and
it is denoted as "unsatisfiable'. A formula G is said to be
'consistent', iff there exists ar. interpretation under which
the formula is true: "51: TVj(G) = T ; it is also denoted
as 'satisfiable'.
Example 5: Valid : G4 [PV(fP)] = J| (Tautology)
Invalid : G * L ( P A Q ) — • Rj
Inconsistent : G & [PA (<JP) j = O{Contradiction)
Consistent : G£ E(PAQ} —«. R]
Logical Consecuence, Equivalent:
A given fornula K is s&id to be a 'logical consequence'
( B Icons' of a given formula G, iff for all interpretations
I in which G is true, H is aiso true:
Vl: TV!(G) - T =%> TVj(H) = T .
Two formulas H and G are said to be 'equivalent' (or K is
equivalent to G ) , iff the truth values of H and G are the
saxe under every interpretation of H end G:
•Vl: TVi(G) - TVi(H).
Example 6: (see below).
"Laws" (Equivalent formulas):
Ar. adequate supply of equivalent formulas, for simplicity we
shall call them "laws", will permit us to carry out formal
manipulations on a given propositional formula without chan-
ging its truth value. They are listed below and referred to
in the text as indicated:

any given propositional formula G can be cast in either of
these two forms:

FIRST-ORDER PREDICATE LOGIC
i this section, we shall introduce the first-order logic
nich has three logical notions called predicate, terms
.nd quantifiers. We shall extend the equivalent calculus of
the propositional logic and introduce the Prenex-, Skolem-
and Clausal- normal forms. Predicate Logic was invented by
Gottlieb Frege in 1879.
Predicate:
A 'predicate' is a relation between objects, as
P(x, f(x),a, ... ), GREATSR(x, y), LOVE(John, Mary) etc., whe-
reby the 'objects' can be constants or names, variables,
functions, etc.. An n-place predicate P(tj,...,tn), also
called 'atom', maps the n symbols tj...tn into the
{T,T*J -space.
Example.8: E[x. y) : x » y (equality)
L(x, y) v : x likes y
MOTHER(x) : Mother Cf X
MOTHER(Peter) : Peter's mother.
Logical Connectives:
The logical connectives as introduced in the prepositional
logic apply here in the same way.
Terms:
The -terms are defined recursively as follows:
(i) A constant is a term,
(ii) A variable is a term,
(iii) If f (...) is an n-place function and tj.-.t., are
terms, then f(tj,..tn) is a term.
(ivj All terms are generated by applying the above rules-
Example 9; s, fx, ffx, fffx, ... : a, fa, ffa, fffa
a,b, f(x,y), fix.a), f(a,b), f ( f U , a), f (a, a) ) , . .
Note, to simplify the notation we frequently omit the func-
tion or predicate brackets; thus f(f (a) 1 = ffa.
V, 3 -C'jartif iers:
Since we have introduced variables, we use two special sym-
bols and to characterize variables. The syirbcls V ana 3
are called, respectively, the 'universal quantifier' and the
'existential quantifier1. If x is a variable, (¥x) reads as
"for all, each, every x", while (3x) is read as "there exists
an x: for some x; for at least one x".
Example 10: P(x), K(x), D(x): x is a patient, quack, doctor.
D, : Sone patients like all doctors : O O I B O A C V J ) {3>(y) —»• L&.yjj JD 2 : No patjent likes any quack : ftfc) [ j w -• (Vy)\ ({(.)}-»• r» L^)}C : Therefore, no doctor is a quack: (ifr)£;tr«) —» rJ k«> ]
Scope of a Quantifier, 3ound Variables, Closed Formulas;
The application range of a quantifier is denoted as the
'scope of trie quantifier'. The occurrence of a variable ir. a
formula is 'bound' iff its occurrence is within the scope of
a quantifier; not bound variables are 'free1. A variable can
be both free and bound in a formula. Any formula containing
free variables cannot be evaluated. We therefore shall
henceforth assume either that all 'formulas are closed1,
meaning that they do not contain ar.y free variables, or that
the free variables are treated as constants.
Quantifier Scope of Q
bound, free variables : (Qx) G(x,y)
bound > .J I free (no Q)
421
Formulas:
Formulas in the first-order predicate logic are defined re*-
cursively:
(i) An atom is a formula.
(ii) If G and H are formulas (depending on terms), then
{e»G), («*H), (G«H), (3VH), (G — H) , ( G — » H) , «C»
formulas.
(iii) If G is a formula with x as its free variable, thPt;
(Yx)G and (3x)G are formulas.
(iv) All formulas are generated only by a finite numbeir
of applications of the above rules.
Interpretation (over a domain):
An interpretation of a formula G in first-order predicate
logic consists of a non-empty domain D with an assignment
of "values" to each constant, function and atom in G, where!
(i) every constant (and variable) is defined in D,
(ii) all (n-place) functions are defined as a mapping:
Dn — £—*• D,
(iii) all (m-place! atoms are defined as a mapping:
Note, (Vx), (3x) are interpreted as: "for all elements x in
D", and "there is an element in D".
Truth Rules;
For every interpretation of a (composite) formula over a do-
main D, its truth value is evaluated by using:
(i) The propositional truth table,
(ii) TV[(Vx)6] - T , if for all xC D: TV[G] « T" ,
»T* . otherwise.
(iii) TV[{3x)G] - T , it for one x€D: TV[G] - "F ,
» T , otherwise.
±22
Valid. Invalid, Inco. -ister.- . Consistent;
The notions 'valid', 'invalid1, 'inconsistent', 'consistent'
are defined as in tne prepositional logic.
"Q-laws" (equivalent ¥ , 3 -fcrn'ulas):
Similar to the "laws" in propositior.al logic there exist
"Q-laws" (Q for quantifier) in predicate logic which allow
fcr formula :nanipuiatior.s without cnariaing their truth-value.
The following Q-laws involve the Q^ {= V,3)-quantifiers:
= (Qx)(HxXG)
= (Vx)(HvAGx)
Ox)HxV (3x}Gx - (3x)(HxVGK)
Hot eqv. : (Vx)HxV CVX)GX / (Vx)(HxvGx)
(3x)HxA (3x)Gx / (3x)(HxAGx)
rename: x —» y
Prenex Normal Form:
A theorem is proven by conjoining its negated conjecture C
with the axioms DjA...ADn, and the subsequent search for a
contradiction • ; such procedure is called a proof by refu-
tation. We thus are always concerned with a for-ula contai-
ning quantifiers, atoms (depending on constants, variables
and functions), and the logical connectives defined earlier:

In the propositional logic, we have introduced the conjunc-
tive/disjunctive normal forms. In the first-order predicate
logic, the analogue is the 'prenex normal form' which will
simplify the proof procedure. It is obtained by equivalent
formula manipulations which leave the truth value of the
original formula unchanged. Using the "Laws" and "Q-Laws", a
set of formal steps permits the separation of all quanti-
fiers into the 'prefix', and all atoms into the 'matrix'.
The matrix consists only of the atoms of the original formu-
la, separated by the A (and) and V(or) logical connectives,
and it is cast into conjunctive normal form:
Prefix G-Matrix
GPrenex * (Qix)(Q2x) C G 1 A G 2 A G 3 ...3
The logical connectives V(or) are now absorbed in the
"clauses" G^. The set of steps is summarized below with
the necessary "(Q-JLswfe" indicated:
Step 0 .• ell formulas closed :
Stap 1 : eliminate — » , m » : L.awi
Step 2 : pull o> to atoms : Q-Laws
Step 3 : rename variables : Q-Laws
Step 4 : allVj3 left most s Q-Laws
Step 5. : conj. normal form : Laws
The application of these steps is easy once the reader has
gone through the details of son* examples.

^ Clauses ' Literals
Clause, (positive, negative) Literal:
A 'literal' is either an atom (E 'positive literal') or its
negation ( E 'negative literal'). A 'clause' is a disjunction
of literal*.
Literal : L s [ft. or (<^\)1 . Clause : Gx& [L].V L2V. .. ].
Skolere Normal Form;
We can further siriplify a formula in prertex normal forTi by
disposing of the3-quantifiers and by dropping subsequently
ail V-quantifiersr this procedure is called 'Skolemization'.
We focu« our attention on the prefix: a variable associated
with an 3-quantifier (3-variable) i« replaced by a 'Skoiem
function1, and theS-quantifier in the prefix is dropped.
The Skoltm function depends on all variables which preceed
the9-variable (when goina from left to right). Tf no
V-quantifier preceeds an3-quantifier, the 3-variable is
replaced by a 'Skoletn constant*. Skclew functions/-constants
must be different from all other functions/constants already
in the formula. After all3-quantifiers have in this way
been eliminated, the remaining^-quantifiers in the prefix
are dropped.

The resulting formula Ggfco].em is not (fully) equivalent to
the original formula Gp r e n e x? it is 'weakly-equivalent'
instead, since Gprenex *-s a logical consequence of &skole:n'
but the opposite does not hold true. However, by suitably
constraining the Skolem functions, any model of Gprenex c a n
be extended to be a model of GsjjQiej,,, which turns out to be
sufficient for the refutation proof procedure of a formula.

'standardized apart' meaning that the variable* of each clause
are given different symbols, due to the (fjcuivalent} "O-lavs"
the truth value of the formulas remains unchanged. Wt furthermore
introduce the 'set-notation': a formula in clausal form S there-

a set of literals, whereby it is understood that the literals

5. HEP3RAHP'THEOREM
In the previous sections we have set up the logic "lan-
guages", in this section we shall consider a first proof
procedure which is essential in that it gives an 'in prin-
ciple' proof of a valid theorem. This method, which is the
basis for most modern automatic proof procedures, was deve-
loped by J. Herbrand in 1930.
Kerbrand Universe:
Suppose we have manipulated a theorem into clausal-form with
the set of clauses denoted by S S { Gi ,63, . . . 3 . The clauses
in S depend on constants, (¥-quantified) variables, and on
members of the 'original plus Skolem) functior.-set
9 35 { f ,g, .. - of S. The Herbrand Universe is defined recur-
sively, H o consists of the set of ill constants in S. Hi
is the union of H o and^CHp). T?'\B.C) stands for the set of
function values resulting from the replacement of all varia-
bles by the Ho-constants, with all possible combinations
being considered. Hj is the unicn of Hi and fHi-Ju etc. This
process is continued up to infinity. K^ is the 'Herbrand
Universe fHU)' which simply consists cf all the variable-
free terms that can be formed from the constants and the
functions in S.

Ground Atoms. -Literals. -Clauses:
An atom (s predicate) with all its variaDies replaced by
members of the Hertrand universe is called a 'ground atom'.
Ground atoms are indicated by an index or an apostropri after
their syn-.bol ,
Ground Atoms : f P, , P } = P( vars € fw,) H P*
L,fIndices: HgQ-elements I—Predicate
Obviously tne set of Grd—atoros can be very larcje if net in-
finite. This terminology is analogously used for the lite-
rals, clauses and terms.
Herbrand Base:
The set of atoms with all their variables replaced by T.e.--
bers of the Herbrand universe is called the 'Herbrani Base
(HB)1 ,
H-3a3e : HB [P1.P2 Ql.Q2 ]
Herbrand Interpretation:
A mapping of the Herbrand base into the {TFJ -space is c&l-
led a 'Herbrand Interpretation (HI)' (see earlier definition
of interpretations). Obviously, there exist many Herbrand
interpretations of a given Herbrand base.

attrs, In definite a particular interpretation we assigr.

obviously exists a very large if not. infinite number of Her-
crand interpretations. They can be vizualized by the 'seman-
tic cree' as shown in the above examples. Each of its layers
i£ reserved for one ground ator of the Herbrar.d base which
is indicated or the right-hand side of the drawing. The or-
dering of tr,e ground atoms is ir. principle arbitrary. The
arcs going to the left are given the truth-value IT and tho-
se going to the right the valueT.
A more formal definition reads: A 'semantic tree' for a
clause-set. S is a bir.ary tree with the arcs labelled by li-
terals frc;;n the Herbrand base enumeration. Note, in this
slightly different definition the yrcur.d atcr, ano its riega-
tior. are assigned to the arcs of a isyer i.-.t-tead of the cor-
responding tr'jth-values, which means simply a charge in no-
tation. All senantic trees consist of some 'nodes', and the
lines between them are called 'arcs'. The noce at the top is
called :he 'root node'. All nodes, except the root node, ha-
ve a unique 'parent node'; these are the nodes imir'ediately
above them. Some nodes have 'daughter nodes' immediately be-
low them. Those without any daughter nodes cue to the exhau-
stion of the Herbrand-base or due to the occurrence of a
failure node are called 'leaves'. The set cf all daughters,
daughters of daughters, etc. of a node are called its 'des-
cendents'. The subtree consisting of all aescencents of a
node and the arcs between their., is said to be ' ionr.sted' by
the node. Removing some nodes and arcs from a tree to for:?, a
subtree is called 'pruning'. A sequence of consecutive arcs
and nodes is called a 'path', and a path running frorr the
root node to a leave without repetition is called a 'branch'.
The "length of a path' is the number of arcs it contains.
The length of the path frorr. the root node to a particular
node is called it 'depth', and the length of the path from a
node to the farthest leave it dominates is called its
'height'. A semantic tree is called 'complete' if on any
branch all ir.enibers of the Herbrand base occur, either as
Lj orfi»Li (i=l,2,..), but not both.
Whilst going down a particular branch of the semantic tree
we infact select a specific Herbrand interpretation, and we
chec)'. whether S is true or false, la the fornm case all
clauses must evaluate to T meaning that at ieast or.e of
their literals rust b e T . If indeed -> ch ar. interpretation
(called 'ground T.odel ' ) is found, S is satisfiable and a
contradiction proof is excluded. The corr^spc: cir.g r.cde in
the semantic tree is -.arked by Q . In the latter case we can
limit overselves to check whether at least one clause ir S
is falsified, meaning that all the literals in that clause
have the truth-value T. If such a clajse is founj th* cor-
respcadi^g node is called a 'failure node' and Toazi-:e<3 by O
(see exaraples ahcve), ana trie search procedure alona that
oranch is stopped. Along that 'failure branch' the truth-
value of S islF, anc we do not go further. Instead, starting
again from the root node, we analyze a different branch, and
consequently evaluate S for a different Herbrand interpreta-
tion. If or. every branch of a semantic tree a failure node
is found, it is called a 'closed semantic tree'.

DF-Ri'-les;
The above method of 'truth checking' was implemented on a
computer by P. Gilrcore in I960. It however is inefficient;
as is easily seen, even for a small set. cf ten two-literal
clauses, there are 21Cl conjunctions. To overcome tnis in-
efficiency K. Davis and H. Putnam introduced in thfe sa:ne
year a more efficient method. The input tc their procedure
is a set of ground clauses S1 on which the following rules
are applied:
1) Tautology Role
One-Literal Rule
: Renove all tautologies, { LVLCJ = •
where the notation L C = N L is used.
: I* a one-literal clause {!.} is
present, delete it together with
all other clauses containing L and
remove in the remaining clauses
each occurrence of Lc,
3(L)-clause
3) Pure-Literal Rule : If L appears in some clause, where-
as L c is absent from any clause,
delete all clauses containing L,
4) Splitting Rule : Choose a literal L such that bc.th,,
L and Lc, are present in the clause
set. Replace the set by two new
sets, set 1(2): drop all clauses
containing L (Lc) and delete LC(L)
in the remaining clauses,
5) Subsumption Rule : Remove every clause G^ if there ex-
ists a correspondino "sub-clause" with
each of its literals also occuring in
VG, ^ . . . L - j l
At the end cf this analysis either the ground clause-set is
empty S'=tf which means that S' is satjsfiable (afc. 3 ground
model), or the ground clause-set is unsatisfiable S'=

6. RESOLUTION" PRINCIPLE
The major drawback of Herbrand's procedure is its Generation
of an exponentially growing sequence of ground clauses. The
resolution principle, which was proposed by J.A. Robinson in
1965, can be applied directly to any clause-set S (not neces-
sarily ground clauses) to test its satisfiability. However,
we first need to understand the notions: substitution, uni-
fication, resolution-factorisation, and PR-Deduction.
Substitution:
A 'substitution' is a finite set of the iorir. {t^/xi... tn/xn \
where every x^ is a variable (to be replaced), every t^ is
a terir. different from x$_, and no two elements in the set have
tne same variable after the stroke-symbol. When tj...tr are
ground terms, the substitution is called a "ground substitu-
tion1. The substitution which consists of no elements is cal-
led the "enpty substitution' ana is denoted by £,
\

I Variable: x^ f XJ
Example 18: V & {a/x, v/y, gu/z} (vars =p terms) .
Composition of Substitutions:
Let 5*2it/xi and X = is^'J be two substitutions. The 'composi-
tion' of V and A . denoted by S"»A > is obtained frorr
{ t^X/xx....tnX/xn.si/yi....sR/yn\ by deleting tjX/xj for
which tji-x3 and by dropping any element »i/fi if y^_ is anong
delete; 1) (
a) («t/yi) if vi€{?)•
137
Composition Rules:
Example 19: JT = { a/x, v/y, gu/zj , A*{b /v , u/x, z/wj
ff-.X =faX/x,- vA/y, (gu)A/z}u f b/v, j ^ x , z/w J= {a/x, b/y, gu/z, b/v, z/w}
Xor = [br/v, u<r/x, zoVw Jv { <£?^ v/y, gu/z }= £b/v, u/x, gu/w, v/y, gu/z } .
Instance:
An 'instance' of a literal (or clause) is obtained by the ,substitution &" which replaces simultaneously its variablesby terms,
LS" as L({"x*1 "> {$ ) (simultaneouslyi)
Substitution i Variables^**" Terms
Example 20: L(fx, y, z, w) = L{fa, v, gu, w) .
Unification;
The procedure of finding a substitution which will make twoor more propositions (literals except probably for the sign)identical is called 'unification',

A substitution &" is called a'unifier1 for a set {L2...Ln} iffLjF « L2T* ...*Ln(T. The set {iLi...Lnl is said to be 'unifiable'if there exists a unifier for it,

Q(x,b,z)
MGU Construction:
A number cf unification algorithms exist. Perhaps the easiest
to understand is that which proceeds left to right comparing
the first, second,... symbols in the two (or more) proposi-
tions. At each step define the disagreement set D^ = (t)j, x^i
which must consist of a term t^ and a variable not occuring
in tfc, otherwise no unification is possible. 3 y = {t-K/xfc}
is the corresponding substitution. After all symbols have
been compared, the MGU is obtained by the composition:

Unification Theorem: If two (or more) propositions are uni-
fiable, the above sketched unification
algorithm will determine the MGU which
is unique.
439
Resolution:
The general inference technique to derive new clauses from
known ones (not necessarily ground clauses) and their suc-
cessive use to derive eventually • , is called the 'Resolu-
tion Principle'. The technique is simple: If the original
claus'e-set S contains • , then S is unsatisfiable. If S how-
ever does not contain • , the next thing to check is whether
Dean be derived from S by generating new clauses. By Her-
brand's Theorem, S is unsatisfiable iff there is a closed
semantic tree T for S. Clearly S contains D i f T consists of
the root-node only. If S does not contain Q , T must contain
more than one node. However, the generation of new clauses
will change some T nodes to failure nodes and it thus will
reduce the number of T nodes until the empty clause O is
eventually derived.
Factor:
If two (or more) literals with the same sign of a clause G
have a mest general unifier "& S MGU, then GG is called a
'factor1. If at is a unit clause, it is called a 'unit fac-
tor'of Gj
Factorf : 1) G(..L1...L2) : same-sign L's.

Binary Resolvent;
Let G and H be two clauses with no variables in common. Let
I<1 and L2 be two literals in G and H respectively. If Li and
l«2 have a most general unifier 6 s MGU, then the clause:

A 'resolvent' of the (parent) clauses G and H is one of the
following binary resolvents; (i) alt. of G and K, (ii) a

Lifting Leama:
Most theorems on resolution are first proven for ground
clauses and then 'lifted' on the general level of clauses
with (iT-quantified) variables by the following lemma;

Example 26:
Px subsums Pa, PaVQb ? PaxVPyb subsumes Pab.
Deletions;
Delete any clause in the clause-sets S^S2,... of the level
saturation method which : (i) is a tautology, !ii) is sub-
sumed by another clause.
Deletions: 1.) if Ja. (Tautology)
2.) if G^F < Gj (Subs, clause)
for all sets Sl, S*,...
Deletion Strategy;
The K-deduction supplemented by the level-saturation method
and the deletions, is called 'deletion
strategy'. It is a resolution refinement and preserves
soundness and completeness,

R - Deduction (Refutation):
Given a clause-set S and the target clause A. An 'R-deduc-
tion of A*, denoted by s (rrA. is a list of clauses {Hlf . . ,Hna
in which each clause is either: (i) a member of S, or (ii) a
factor on an earlier clause, or (iii) a resolvent of two
earlier clauses. If A s O . we speak of an "R-refutation'.

R - Deduction Tree:
An R-deduction can be represented by an 'R-Deduction Tree1
where the clauses are indicated (possibly by numbers) on
the nodes and the literals resolved upon ar« shown on the
connecting arcs. The R-deduction tree "grows" from the lea-
ves to the root-node.
Example 25: (see ex. 24)

R-Soundness:
The R-refutation derives new clauses from the original ones,
in an attempt to derive the empty clauseQ. A conjunction
which contains TF1 is unsatisfiable, since it will be false
whatever assignments are made to the other clauses. For this
to imply the unsatisfiability of the original clauses we
must show that the resolution R cannot derive a clause which
would make a satisfiable conjunction into an unsatisfiable
one*, that is, any new clause must be a logical consequence

7. DELETION STRATEGY
Resolution is inore efficient than the earlier methods such as
Herbrand's procedure used by Gilmore. However, unlimited ap-
plications cf resolution may cause many irrelevant and re-
dundant clauses to be generated. Thus there is room for fur-
ther improvements by the 'resolution-refinements1 which are
considered in detail in part II of this tutorial. A first
step in this direction is the 'deletion strategy' which was
considered by R. Kowalski in 1970.
Level Saturation;
The R-deduction does not specify which clauses are used to
generate factors and resolvents in order to find • . One
straightforward way is the 'level-saturation method': com-
pute all resolvents of pairs of S clauses, add the resolvents
to the set S, coj^>ute all further resolvents, and repeat this
process until the empty clause D is found. We thus generate
the sequence of clause-sets:
S° « S TRfSj.SzJa {"RfGj Gjjj Gj€Slf Gj€S2,
s2 * Tt(s°.s°)s2 - m.(sou s1, s1)
= , S2)
sn+l » "R (S°w SXU...Sn. Sn)
This prescription generates redundant and irrelevant clauses
which, by using the subsequent definition, nay be dropped
whereby the soundness and completeness property remains va-
lid.
Subsumption:
A clause R 'subsumes' a clause G i f f there is a substitutionCT such that HtTSG. G i s called the 'subsumed' clause.
H subsumes G 4=£ 3 «• : H VS. G
Substitution i '— subsumed clause
Example 26:

Dele t ions:

sumed by another clause.
Deletions: 1. ) if /EL (Tautology)

Deletion Strategy:
The R-deduction supplemented by the level-saturation method
and the deletions, is called 'deletion strategy'. It is a
resolution refinenent and preserves soundness and conolete-
ness,

8. SUMMARY
In this tutorial we have given a condensed introduction intothe basic notions and fundamental reasoning techniques oftheorem proving. Since we aim at reader* which mainly areinterested in the application of the mathematical theory, weleft aside all proofs and illustrated the definitions andtheorems by examples. After some historical remarks, we in-troduced the basics of the prospositional and predicatelogic and we showed how the equivalent formula manipulationsare used to arrive at the clausal form of a formula. Her-brar.d's theorem gives a first technique to certify the vali-dity of a formula. We here introduced the Herbrand -universe,-base, -interpretation and showed how the semantic tree helpsin the truth checking; the Davis-Putnam rules simplify thelatter step. Robinson's resolution principle is at the baseof all modern proof techniqu >.# in theorem proving. The reso-lution-deduction allows for tne derivation of new clausesuntil a contradiction is found. We explained the notions:substitution, unification, resolution and factorisation, andwe defined the R-deduction which is sound and complete. Inordfer to reduce tne huge number of deduceable clauses manyresolution refinements have been proposed, *>e here limitedourselves to the deletion strategy as the mot:!1, obvious andsimple technique.
Part II of this tutorial is reserved for the resolution-resolution refinements, and part III will focus on the appli-cations of theorem proving/automated reasoning in science,technology and every-day life.

Abstract
The flavor and CP properties of the supersyxmetric standard
SU(3> xSU(2) x D(l) model (SSM) are briefly reviewed, and several
important results are stated. A new mechanism for flavor and CP
violation is discussed. It is interesting and important since it
0 -0occurs whenever the SSM is embedded in a larger scheme. B -B
mixing and B -*• (hard y+x) are good places to search for such non-
standard flavor violations. A new scheme for CP violation in super-
syaeetric models is sketched.
A general broken supersymmetric SU(3) xSU(2) xU(l) model contains
an enormous number of soft supersymraetry breaking parameters. With s
Jew assunptioas (see Sef. [1] and references therein) about the origin
of supersymmetry breaking, Chese can be reduced to jast x few paraneters.
The resulting standard model <SSM) has become canonical, and its
phenomenology has been studied close to exhaustion [2]. The flavor [3,-i'
and CP [5,6j violating properties of the theory have received particularly
close attention and will be reviewed below.
The bulk of the paper will deal with the possible effects of flavor
violation beyond the SSM. Such effects are important because they ars
ubiquitous, and interesting because they have been so little studied and
have surprising results. For example, all supersynmetric jrand unified
theories known to me have u •+ ey with a branching ratio of at least 10~~ .

Such facts surprise even the expert. This work was dor.e in collaboration
vith Alar. Kostelecky and Stuart Raby. For details Lhe reader is referred
to 17].
The paper ends by sketching a new origin for CF. The idea is to
solve the strong CF problem by breaking CF spontaneously in a heavy
sector. Fermion masses are preserved from acquiring a phase by the aor.-
rer.orEalization theorem; thus 6=0. Scalar masses, however, ars unprotected
and it is these which are the source of £. Models are currently uri.iez

which is responsible for the baryon asymmetry of the universe.
The SSM is described by the superpotential:
f = D'VqH' + LA ECH' -Hi'"Xr.qH + uHK1, . (1)
where Q,L are left-handed doublet quark and lepton superrieids, Uc, D1"
and E* are left-handed singlet antiquark and antilepton superfields and
H,H' are Higgs superfields. At the Planck scale supersynmetry is broken
ir. hidden sector, resulting in the following soft supersymaietry breaking
operators at tree level:

to be of order the weak s^ale. A, B, and C are dimensionlest constants
of 0(1), $ represents all the scalar fields, X all the gaugino fields and
f-'i,) i» =*>e trilinear (bilinear) part of f.
At tree level the only flavor changing interactions are those of the
Kobayashi-Maskawa (KM) aatrix, K, in the charged current couplings of W~
and w~ to quark mass eigenstates. At the loop level the squark and quark mass
matrices can only be diagcnalized by different rotations on squark
and quark fields. This introduces further flavor changing Interactions,
for example, in the gluino couplings. The origin of this flavor violation
is the anooalous dimension £or the squark mass operator shown in Figure 1.
It leads to a radiative squark mass:
* 5 " & > + A£v (3)
As we will not be interested in processes involving external real squarks,
we will work in a "super KM" basis [6] in which tIC^D and D C A D D are
diagonalized by superfield rotations, so that the gluino couplings are
flavor diagonal but the left-handed squark mass matrices have flavor
changing radiative contributions
(4)
where SL. _ are the real and diagonal quark aass matrices. It is important
co notice that the SSM has no flavor nixing angles beyond those in K.
However, K appears is squark aass matrices at veil as in weak charged
currents, the notation is sinilar to that of [6], where a detailed dis-
cussion of C? violation is the SSM is also given.
The following results on the effects of K in the SSK have been
obtained 13,4,5,6]:
(1) The KT~K, nass difference, An. is probably doainated by the
usual W box diagrams. The supersymnetric (gluino) box diagraa is sup-
pressed by (o ,a 6.)/a .
(2) The supersyoaetric box (gluino) will dominate c_ if the tcp
quark is heavier than the squarks, since it is enhanced by » /n2 con-
pared to the usual V box diagrae. Ic this ease ». is smaller than ino •
the standard model.
452
(3) If *• 1* reduced, Chen so is t'/z: the penguin diagram is
proportional to »., and chc superpenguins are small as chey do not
involve large logarithms.
(4) Tor a /« i 1/2, the flavor changing and C? violation properties
in the K system of tfe« SSM are not greatly different from those o£ the
standard model.
(5) In the B -B system, the supersymmetric box diagram is a
2 2factor (ot./ou) (m /n) f of the conventional box result, f varies
0 -0between 1/10 and 1 depending on the parameter C. Hence B -B mixing is
probably (but not necessarily) enhanced in tne SSM.
The SSM conserves e, p, and T numbers. This is easily seen by
starting at the Planck scale in a basis in which X is diagonal. Thus,
scaling of slepton masses cannot introduce leptonic flavor violations.
It is a very general result chat trilinear terms in the super-
pocencial, which contain quark superfields, lead to flavor changing
squark masses.
Let L.(i •].,...5) be the five varieties of light quart and lepton
superfield: Q,U ,D ,1.,E . Suppose that the SS.M is extended by

tions to couple :o quarks and leptons. As usual, I have not vrirter.
explicit generation indices. The diagrams of Figure 2 generate squark
and slepton masses, for example, for i»Q
where each n-. is a 3x3 aatrix in generation space,and £ o is a column
vector in generation space. If the fields x,y,z are light compared to
the Planck scale, then these diagrams contribute to the anomalous
dimensions si Che squark masses, and so the terms in (6) are proportional
to a large logarithm In M /M . If x> y and z masses are comparablep x, y, z
to M > then (6) should be considered as a heavy mass threshold effect.P
In either case the induced flavor changing effects ia the lov energy
theory can be large. It should be stressed that it does not really
matter if x,y,z are heavy (~M ) or light (-M ,) • It should now be clear
that it is almost impossible to incorporate the SSM in a larger unified
scheme without inducing such flavor changing interactions.
It is possible, that the couplings r,,c, are small and only give
unimportant corrections to the SSM. This is the case of the quark and
lepr.on Tukawa couplings in minimal supersyranetric SU(5). Ir. this
theory x « H.,5 the tvo color triplet partners of Che Higgs doublets,
and n is X or X.T (which is symmetric). Scaling between M and the grand
unification scale yields scalar masses:
where T(Q,L'C,£C) and i(DC,I.) are the 10 and 5 superfields. The most
interesting feature of these aasses is that the E scalars have picked
up a mass squared proportional to \.A • The lepton mass matrix is
proportional to X£ • X . Since siepton and lepton oass aatriceE cannot
be diagonalized by a superfield rotation, these slept;?, casses induce
2 + 2e, [i, and T nunber breaking effects: iB_c
a K m,.K. Unfortunately,
these effects are too small to be important; foT example, the branching
-15 A'ratios for \i •*• ey is -10 {100 GeV/m) ,. Nevertheless this illustrates
how superheavy particles (in this case B ) can alter the low energy
theory via souark and siepton masses.

Large values of 6 then imply that s, is less than in the standard model.R ' 0
One might worry that this is a problem. If s^ is so small where
does C coae from? It is at this point that one is driven to a new theory
of CP violation which I describe below. In my view, within the context
of supersymmetry it if certainly as good, and potentially ouch better
than the KM origin of CP.
My discussion of d., suggests several things about CP violation inh
an underlying theory. Firstly, that the trilinear terms in the super-
potential responsible for 6 , and also \ , are real. This certainly
suggests that CP should be imposed as a symmetry on the dimension A terms
of the Lagrangian. This also removes the strong C? problem: 6 vanishes.
In this case where does CP violation come froa. One possibility is
simply to introduce it softly in terms of dimension 2 as was done in a
section of Sef. [6]. There :.t was shown that a phase in ^ c g c o r ^ s
was sufficient to give £ at the one loop level. In the present case,
453
adding arbitrary soft CP violating squark masses falls far short of our
aims, since we would no longer understand why c. are real. Instead we
impose CP on the entire Lagrangian and break it spontaneously in a super-
heavy color singlet sector. For example, consider an SU(5) theory with
generations of gauge singlets N, in addition to 5 a-10 (F+T), whose super-
heavy mass matrix M has beccrae complex by spontaneous CP breaking. In
this case, the trilinear interaction A FK H (where H is the Higgs 5-pitt;
allows the phases of M to be fed radiatively, via the diagrams r.f Flours 9,
into the D squarks mass matrix:
2 + •*-
I find this oechanisa of CP violation very exciting- Consider the
following interesting features:
(1) The strong CF problem is solved. Potentially troublesotse
radiative contributions to A are absent in supersymtetry because of the
non-rencnnalization theoreo. One simply has to check that the phase does
not feed reaaily into the eluino mass matrix.
(I) One say understand why c is small. Tha phase is in (16),
whereas the conventional insertion (A) is real. It is very reasonable
for (4), which yields in,, to be larger than (16), which leads to e.
MThis is because the iogarit.Tn in (4) is In -^-, while that in (161 is

(3) l'It is likely to be scalier than in the standard nodel. This:
is because the penguin diagram is proportional to s. which vanishes, ana
the superpenguins have no large logarithn.
(«) Finally, it is very easy to see how the phases associated with
S are the origin for the CP violation necessary to cause a baryon
asvnroetry in the universe, iB.
459
From the diagram of Figure 10 iB = XVM A ^ / . ^ - A t race i s avoided by
having some N heavier than thfe Biggs t r i p l e t s , and seme l i g h t e r . The
phase of (J, XM~*"A * occuring in Figures 9 and 10 lead to t and AB respec-
s"" stively. It is hard to imagine a siapler and acre direct link between
these two quantities.
A more detailed analysis of this CP breaking mechanism, is under
study [8].
In this paper I have argued that even if the SSM if substantially
correcc, its unification will inevitably lead to new flavor and CP
violations. Flavor violations may allow us to see the effects of super-
partners long before they are observed directly. The aechanisa for CP
violation in supersytsaerric aodeis is still a wide open question. I
have argued for a particularly simple and elegant mechanism as an
alternative to the conventional KM mechanism.

IV. The Rices Sector
There has been ample discussion in Che literature on various methods
for detecting a "light" Higgs boson. By "light" 1 mean s^ « 1 TeV. In
fact the background exceeds signal when HL, > 630 GeV. Let me, however,
concentrate on an unorthodox possibility, namely HL, > 1 TeV.
Why 1 TeV? Hell, it has to do with the question of whether or not the
scalar fields in the standard model are strongly coupled, from ( 4 ) one
finds that, in the minimal standard model with one Higgs doublet, the
physical Higgs boson has a mass HL, " JTk 0 <J"s 250 GeV). Since X, the
Higgs self-coupling, is arbitrary there is no way to predict how large nu.
is. Within the framework of perturbation theory, one can however set
limits on .V,.
If one first assumes that A is amall and compute the one-loop radiative
12correction to V(<£) (Eq. (l)) t one finds %h«t in order for the true
ground state to be an absolute local minimum, it, has to satisfy c lower
bound o?> 4<<» 2K. Here, tc - * . {3(2ft4.+'S*)-4rM* } * = i — T
** ' *4n*<#>* * Z i f I 64-Z«p>4
4 4 4{3(2MH+Mz)-4Mt ...}, where the contribution from the Hig#s loop it neglected
in K. Since it is »till unclear how large mt i« and whether or not there
are other heavy feraionst one cannot put a definite lower bound on a^. For
exanple. if there are only three generations and if • f 40 GeV, one wonla
obtain m^> 7.1 GeV.
On the other hand. If X (or m^) ie too large, tree ucitarity vlll be
Tiolated. Consider, for example, the s-wave scattering of longitudinaj
V s . The s-uave amplitude for H -WL•* 'V+W, grows with s ana becomes a
constant for «»•?. In fact, <l^(W W - 4 W W j - > - 3 V ""tL
•480
Partial-wave unitarity requires that la^j < 1 which implies that aij, < 1 Tey
(i.e. \<~). If the Higgs mass txtieeds 1 TeV, one ther. has a stctor which
is strongly coupisd. It raises the possibility that, for such a systen,
there nay be interesting bound state formation.
As we have discussed at the beginning of the text, the fiiggs potential
has an 0(4) synisetry, similar to the linear 0-model. There, it is customary
to work with the non-linear c-modei (for large nT) to describe n-ir scattering.
Also, it was found that in IT-IT scattering, one expects- the following beur.d
states to be formed:
i) I - J * 0 bound state ("5"). This is not a well-defined resonance
ii) I * J » 1 bound states (P1s). Those are proisir.ent resonances with
in - 775 M«V and T s 130 MeV. Also, a combination of current
algebra »ni vector meson dominance gives us a relationship between
f * f , the scale of chiral siwaetry breaking f and the
pm ts ' " ir16

A strongly coupled fiigjs model of the type used for the standard aodel
would be expected to behave similarly to the a-raodel described above. This
expectation is born* oiit by detailed calculations.
A naive estimate of the mass scales to be expected for these objects
iv. the strongly cottpled Higgs model can be obtained by rescaling, namely
•u.,,.1 s mriv'^) = 1 > 9 T-«^ f e r the I • J » 0 bousd state and * s » (J£-) s 2.1
for the I » J « 2 bound state, where n,, „ s 700 lieV, kf% 250 GeV and £_ a 93 MeV.
These naive estimate* ju6t serve as guiding signs foe the search of these
.objects.

The .above numbers are given for the one-Higgs doublet case, for the
multi-Higgs doublet case - P « 1 for any number of Higgs doublets - one I13*

tf, » 50 GeV and Jl « 245 GeV. It also turns out that after symmetry breaking
there are a triplet (I » 1) of Nambu-Goldstone bosons (absorbed by V and Z).
a triplet of pseudo-Nambu-Goldstone bosons and two physical Higgs bosons. In
fact, for N doublets> there arises one triplet of S-C bosons, S-I triplets of
pseudo's and N physical Higgs bosons.
In a strongly coupled K Higgs doublet model, there would be H^I " J = Oj
and N{l - J » l\bosons of the types discussed above. Since
,...,N) < 250 GeV, it is clear that there would be bound states which
can be lighter than 2 TeV and therefore more accessible to near-future
colliders. Detailed analyses revealed that scattering of longitudinal li's
produces bound states in the TeV mass range while bound states of peeudo N-G
bosons generally have lover masses.
How does one produce these bound stscex? So far, the best plsce to
produce them is in pp or pp collisions. It is also conceivable that if
e e machines (especially th« linear colliders) can get to high enough
(e.g. several hundreds of GeV cm.) energy, the lower mass bound states could
also be produced. Since th* coupling of K, and pseudo K-G bosons to ferraions
is of 0((m-/v)«l) the production of the I « J « 0 bound states by direct
collisions of W, or pseudo's is extremely inefficient at CERN coiiider and
Tevatron energies (0^10 nb typically).
The I « J « 1 bound states (referred tc as V j ) can however ne produced
by mixing with V~ and Z because of the likeness in quantux nucbers. ' The

V. Beyonc t'nc Standard ?todel
tftvao one it fac«l with the prospect of trying to look for what may go
.on "beyond the standard model, there are three immediate questions one might
ask. The first one is whether or not one can obtain the standard made!
results without the standard nodel. If yes, how natural is it? The second
question involves tfte nature of the Higgs boson, naisely: is it elementary or
composite? In other word's> can one understand the standard model without
as elementary Higgs boson? The third" question has to do with possible
ex tens lens of the standard model. Let ae try to address thos<= 'ssues or.e
by one.
483
First, let us look at a scenario in which the scar.dard-model Higgs
boson is not found at any future attainable energy. There are two possibility
either the Higgs boson is very heavy and strongly coupled or it is not there
at. all. The first possibility was discussed in an earlier section. Let me
instead discuss the second unorthodox possibility. Phenomenologicaily, it is
easy to produce the standard model results without a Higgs boson. Following
Ref. <20,2]), all one needs is a global SU(2) symmetry and a triplet of
massive vector bosons V~' which may or may not be gauge bosons and which
couple to the isospin current. To reproduce the correct neutral—current
structure, this global SU(2) symmetry is explicitly broken by the mixing of
the photon field with W0,' in the form: - -jIV F W^ , where A w is arbitrary.

condition: X^, « — « sin6u. The question is now which dynamics produce*th«

One attractive possibility is a model in which W's, quarks and leptcms are
22 e
composite. In,order for X^. * — , one then assunes a complete M-dominance of
the electromagnetic forn factor for the composite quarks and leptons (in
complete analogy with vector meson dominance). With these assumptions, one
can then reproduce the entire standard model results. There are however
many disturbing questions concerning the validity of this class of aodels.
Notice that, in this case, the weak coupling g plays an analogous role to the
p-N-N coupling f. First of all, it is not clear that universality holds
484
i.e. the couplings of "»' to quarks and iepton;; are not necessarily the same- in
this scheme. Secondly, g = —: e 0.65 is a fairly vcak coupling in contrast
slntfW
with f £ 5.6. Whst is the origir. of the dynamics that makes £ so much less
than fc,™? Why is the isoscalar neutral current so much suppressed experiinon-
tally in this scheme? These and other questions force us to look for na-urnl
answers if composite models are to be taken seriously. Another point worth
studying experimentally and theoretically is whether or not composite V's and
Z can have ^fang-Mills structure.
The answer co the second question of whether or not one can understand
the standard model without an elementary Higgs boson is yes. Technicolor
models were developed precisely to provide an alternative to an elementary
Riggs boson because of problems such as the naturalness problem for example.
In these theories• technifennions belonging to a technicolor gauge group con-
dense to break SU{2), x U(l) u spontaneously at a mass scale ^250 GeV. The
techni KG bosons are then absorbed by H and Z to give then their masses. With
the appropriate choice of transformations for the technifermions under various
gauge groups, it is possible to obtain the usual standard model results.
However, if one tries to extend these nodels so as to give masses to the
fennions as well, one encounters serious difficulties such as the flavor-
changing neutral currents for example. Despite these difficulties, the ide2
of technicolor models is still very attractive. Feraion masses are probably
generated in a different way than extended technicolor. Notice that the
low-energy effective theory for technicolor is precisely a strongly coupled
HijgE model. There is however a slight difference. In technicolor theories,
the raass of the physical Higgs boson is expected to be around one or two Tevs
(the scale of techni-strong interactions) while in a strongly coupled Higgs
aodel, it could be anywhere above that value.
The third question deals with the possibility of finding structures
between 100 CeV and a few hundreds of Tevs, in particular those which come
435
froiu extensions of O.:s. standard snooei. It aesns Chat SU(2) x 0(1).. has
to be parr, of a larger gauge group. Furthermore, such an extension woui:: imply
tht; t-xifat.'.nee of extra heavy gauge bosons and likely also new fernior.s. A24
particularly attractive model of this class is the so-called left-right symmetric
nodal (g, • g ), e.g. SU(2)L x SU(2) x L'(l) (of course, there could be nore
than one U(l) factor). The new gauge bosons here are the ones which couple to
the V+A currents. They are the so-called right-handed bosons, tff and Z_.
There are various ways to find the limits on the mass of W . For example,
25 1bu-decay gave Mu > 380 GeV while the KL-K.. mass difference gave R. > I lev.
R ~ T- s "R ~ •
Of course, W£ and Zfi may be detected directly by their decays e.g. K -»eH.
Among the interesting aspects of this class of model to be searched for in
the future are the mass range of W,, and the chi'ality nature of its coupling
to fermions. Also, one would like to know whether there is a right-handed
partner of f.he left-handed neutrino sad whether it is a Majorana particle.
Certainly, there is a rich structure to be explored in the future. Theoreti-
cally, left-right symmetric models are interesting since they provide a aore
natural explanation for parity violation (from the breakdown of SC(2). x SIK2)O).
There is an alternative way to look at what may lie beyond 100 GeV. This
28is the so-called petite unification approach. One looks for a gauge- group
GZ>S(I(3)C x SU(2)L x U(1) Y «ith the requirements that there is some structure
in the Te* region, sin 5^ has the correct experimental value at lov energies,
and constraints fro« rare decays have to be satisfied. A ainimal example
which satisfies these requirements is Che group C • SU(4)D x SU(2). x

It it certainly an interesting mass range, to explore.
The above exanples are only a few among a multitude of acdc?r which jive
some structure beyond 100 GeV. Whether or not anything will be- there, car. only
be determined by the next generation of macr.ines. I have not discussed the

Conclusion
We nave se»n bow well the low-energy date agree with the standard model.
We also saw t'r.r crewniny achievements of the standard rodei wher V~ and Z
were discovered near the predicted aasses. Despite all oi thesif successes,
one important ingredient - the HiggE boson - ts still aissing. It is ncv
more important than ever to search actively for this elusive object and to
contemplate on wh£t might be beyond the standard model.t

Recent results from e e experiments at EES'i on the following top-ict. are

The el«ctron-po$itrOE storage rings PETRA and DORIS at DESY afford
a good opportunity to study weak decays. The electrons and positrons
can annihilate via a single photon into pairs of quarks or leptons.
Weak decays have be*r. studied in inclusive final states containing charm
and bottom mesons and in exclusive final states containing pairs of T
leptens. The contribution of the experi.-nents at DESY to the understand-
ing of these decays has been large. Here, only recent results are
reported.
Ther
brief, only the particle state will be named. The antiparticle state
should be understood.) ARGUS reports the observation of the decay
D° •» K° it and an update whicn improves their previous limit for D c - 5°
nixing. TASSO has recently measured the D° lifetime. Concerning bottom
maasurenents, both TASSO and JADE report values tor the B lifetime.
Finally, ARGUS uses the decay T » it i t v tc set a nesi upper limit on
the ness of the tar, neutrino.
Theoretical Motivation
Be'ore going any further let us repeat an eld story and consider
tht theoretical motivation for the raeasurenients on mesons contaxr.xrg c
and b quarks. The simplest model to describe the decay of mesons
containing .'leavy quarxs is the spectator model. Here the heavy quark is
treated wLznc:>t regard to .the lighter quarx witn wnicn ;.t is brund. Tl'.e

I.) The amplitude for q to decay to q' of a different flavor depends on
tne weak mixing anon? generations- This mixing is described by the K-M
(Robayashi-Maskawa ) matrix:
ucS us ub
"cd Ucs ucb
IT I' Iftd ts tb_
Since the mixing among generations is small, the off diagonal elements
of the K-M matrix are small, while the diagonal ones are nearly unity.
This has interesting consaquences for B decay, which proceeds via the
off diagonal elements U . and 0 . . Thus, the B lifetime can be a
sensitive measure of these elements. A calculation, which was based on
the spectator aodal and the B neson santilcptonic decay spectrum fros
CLEO and CUSB, of the relationship between tne KM elements and the B
lifetime gives2

For ad^flf 5 GeV/c2, the factor in front is about 1014sec."1. if Ucb
or U. were near unity, a$ is U , the B lifetime would be very short
indeed.
Charm decay is interesting because of the failures of the spectator
model. These failures are by now well known; for example, the lifetime
of the D and D° mesons are very different. A recent compilation at
neutral and charged D lifetime? gives

at odds with the spectator model which would have them equal. The
semileptonic branching ratios are also different by about the sane
factor. The MARK III collaborations finds
Br(D* - e v X) +0.5 + 0.1
A number of explanations have been put forward for this failure of
the spectator model. One is the existence of ether diagrams for weak
decay. The exchange diagram,'' for the neutral D meson, and the
annihilation diagram, for the charged D and T mesons, are shown in
Figure 2a. The annihilation diagram for fhe D has a Csbbibc suppressed
W vertex so it could add littls to the decay width of D , while the
exchange diagram could give a substantial contribution to the D c decay
width, giving it a shorter lifetime and .= smaller semileptonic
branching ratio.
toother possible effect is illustrated in Figure 2b. In badronir.
decays of the D , the finai state can contain two identical d quarns.
These quarks could interfere to suppress the decay of E mesons. Both
of these effects are difficult tc calculate, so input froir experiment is
important. Presently we shall see how ARGUS has produced the first
evidence for the existence of Dc decays via the exchange diagram.

This decay is a good place to look for the contribution of the a

The ~-RC;.7S collaboration searched Cor this decay by exuinirunc the

two chargad kaons. The D° mesons were first reconstructed without
constraining the two kaons to ha^e the $ mass. A clear signal of 69 i
1£ events is seen at the D° mass when x = P(K°K K )/P. > C.3, When
ehe two kaons are restricted to the mass interval, 1.01 < m(K*K ; < 1.03
C-eV/c , s signal of 37.7 i 8.0 e\?ents is seen as shown in Figure 4a. In
the lower * side-band (mCK^K ) < 1.01 GeV/c ), a small D° signal of 14 2
i 4.6 events is observed, while in the upper side band, (m<K K ) > 1.C3
GeV/c ;•, 10 - 16 events are observed- The upper side band is shevr. in
ficure 4b. Extrapolating the contribution from the upper ":ide band, the
nonresonar.t contribution to the signal region is estimated to be I ; 2

This limit is obtained by examining the decay of D •» D°it with the

in Figures 6. Because of the low Q value of the D * D IT decay, the
mass difference provides a distinctive signature for true decays, ever,
if the y° has not been reconstructed. To reduce the background fron
wrongly assigned particle identities, full use of the tine of' flight
system and the dE/dx measurements was made. Particle combinations were
only Earned among particles whose hypothesized identity was consistent
with the tiae of flight measurement and the dE/dx measurement.
Futhermore, at least one particle in the K~* and K s v° mode, and the

The neutral D nesons are identified in the decay D " • D v~ using
•+ °the aass difference between the D and D mass combinations, in a
aecner similar to that described in the last section. The details ofo
the analysis can be found in TASSO publications where signals from D
i Smesons were reported in the following decay nodes:'
This S aeson selection procedure, applied to the data taken since
tfie installation of the TASSO vertex detector, and the requirement that
tJ»c decays be well r«c«istructa£ in the vertex detector yielded 6 events
in fib* acde B e » STT" and 2 events in the node B** t."t*iTt*. Bo events
with valid v«rt«x detector tracts were fcund in the node D° + K ir ir°
apd*. the tracks from the decay products of each C* meson from the
selected events were fit to a cotuacn vertex in 3 dimensions and then
constrained to the D e aass.
Once the vertex position has been found, the most likely decay
distance for the D° decay nay be calculated from the relative position
to the decay vertex tc the bean center. The most.likely decay distance
is given by the expression:
501
Xy V« " 2VxV * Vywhere cr . is.forraed by adding the error matrix determined in the vertex
tit to that from the beam spot, t and t are the direction cosines of
the D momentum, and x 2nd y are the coordinates of the decay vertex,
as found by the vertex fit, relative to the beam center. The decay
distance is calculated by projecting I along the 3 dimensional
proper time by dividing by YB = PpO / MgC.
The proper decay times for the eight events and their errors are
shown in Figure 7. Having determined the proper time for each decay,
the D° lifetime was extracted using a maximum likelihood fit, assuming
that the decay distribution was describad by a Gaussian convoluted with
an exponential where the width of the Gaussian was taken from the
calculated error on theaost likely decay distance. In addition, a
Gaussian term was added to take into account a 15% background in the
•ode D° * \~i , and 30% background ic the aode D° •* K~ir*ir~r*. The fit
gave xDo = («.6 *_ \'* ) • lCf13**:.
The systematic error was estimated by varying the assuned detector
resolution, the background fraction, the fraction of b -» c cascades, and
the detector positions within their errors. The contributions fron
units ofthese sources were respectively, ± 0.7 , ± 0.3, * °*°, s 0.3 in uni

B Lifetiae Results
All B lifetime neasureaents froa e*e~ collisions follow the sane
strategy. it has not been possible to reconstruct > aesons in
the same manner as P aesons have been reconstructed. To obtain the »
lifetime, a sas*>ie of events and tracks enriched in e e~ • fab is
selected. The iapact parameter in the plane perpendicular to the bean,
t, is given a sign depending on which side of the interaction point the
track crosses the sphericity axis. She distribution of the observed
signed iapact paraneters is then used to obtain a lifetiae. The
principle of the signed iapact parameter netbod is shown iti Figure I.
Tracks which coo* fron decays of B hadroBi tend to cross the sphericity
axis ia front of the interaction point, and to have large iapact
paraoeters.
the JADE collaboration hat used senileptonic decays of £ hadrons to

Last year, the TftSSO collaboration present a E lifetime based on
data taken with and without their vertex chamber. Ir. the mean tiir.e
the amount of data with the vertex chamber has been increased by a
factor of nearly two and the value of t has been brought up to datt
using the new data. This update is based on a totai of 2Spb " with the
vertex detector, taken at W = 44 GeV.
The TASSO collaboration uses ar< event shape variable tc produce a
sample of hadrons enriched in bb events. Each hadronic event is
separated into two jets using the sphericity axis. All charged tracks
falling into a cone of half angle 40° about the sphericity axis are
boosted towards the B meson rest frame with a T of ~ 1-5. The
sphericity O.C the boosted jets, S, and S,, is then computed. Those
events which have a boosted sphericity product, S.S,, greater than 0.10
are taken to form the B enriched sample. Monte Carlo studies show that
this saraple contains 32% be, 35\cc, and 33% mi, dd and ss and that about
*C % of all bb events pass this cut. A sairple depleted in S mesons is
foraed fron these events with SJSJ < 0.04. This sample has 6% bb, 37%
CG, and 57* uti, dd, and ss.
The average i is calculated from all tracks in the event which have
momentum > 1.0 GcV/c, which pass strict track quality cuts, and which
have |S] < 0.5 ca. Ihe t distributions fron the data with the vertex
detector for the B enriched saaple and for the I depleted sanpXe are
shewn in figure 10. Table 1 shows the scan ( for two independent sets
of data. Part a) shows the result* obtained since tbe installation of

The systematic errors in such an analysis are not negligible. The
estimated error due to instrumental biases, including beam spot position
and size, nonuniformity of the magnetic fielcJ, and any offset in the 5
distribution, is t 0.16 ps. The systematics from the method, such as
the range of 5 averaged over to obtain the mean value, and the require-
ments on track quality give an error o£ t 0.14 ps. Finally,
uncertainties in the Monte Carlo parameters, such as the particle
multiplicity and the charm lifetime, result in uncertainties in the
fraction of B tracks in the B enriched sample and in uncertainties in
the lifetime of the background, giving a systematic error of tn"r? Ps-

Mass Limits on v_
A number of experiments have used the process e e * t T to give
limits on the v^ mass. Ignoring initial and final state brensstrahlung,
each tau will have the beam energy. By reconstructing the decay of the
tau, the er.argy of the neutrino can be calculated as tne difference of
the beam energy and the energy visible in the tau decay. The tau can
decay into E variety of final states. Previous upper limits exist from
the study of the Bode t" * sr~ji+5r~i!ovT, T~ • 5T"(it°)vT,22'23 and
T •• K K IT v . The key point of these analyses is to avoid background
from decays of the tau uhere sotce of the decay particles escape
detection; these unseen particles would distort the neutrino energy
— — + - 25spectrum. ARGUS uses the mod* x •» v ir t u , and avoids background
fron tau decay to unseen neutral pions by requiring that there be no
energy deposited in the shower counters.
lo ensure a high purity in the final sample, a number of cuts are
nade to eliminate background. The events are required to be of a one
against three topology. The event is rejected if there are any photons
with energy > 50 MeV, unless the photon can be combined with another
photon to fora a n" which in turn can be combined with the lone prong to
fora a «. The acser.tux su=, " .p, '. , is required to be nor° than 2.7

background from radiative 3ra£'"-as s.-id LUI events, where the pnctcr. has
converted C3 ar. alaccron posuror. pair, the cper.ir.g ar.eies between the

The resulting neutrino energy spectruc froas about 150C tau decays

The last two terns in the ebove expression represent higher
twist (HT) effects predicted by Berger. These effects are large
and the;' induce correlations between leptcriic and hadronic
variables. Some of them are similar to those expected from
hard QCD processes.
Results
The data come from the experiments H.A2 and 1M9
performed by the IMC at the CER1I SP3. The description of the
apparatus as well ae the event selection criteria and
519
corrections to the data from each experiment can be found
elsewhere ([l'J, [3]).
J In the V.A2 exparinant only current jst frpgaents have
been ne^stired (I:, fii a > 0.2) The 'beam energies v'ere 120, 200
and 280 GeV. .In the region Q 2 > 2 GeV2, -J43 k events have
been used.
In the I.AS experiment the bep.m energy ".VP.S 230 Ge7 and
in the ™egion Q4 > 4 G-eV", 19 k events were analysed. The
experiment covered full x», region.
In the analysis only charged hndrons have been used and
they were assumed to be pioris.

In Pig. 3 we compare the z - distributions of h«drons

is y.
The HT term from (1) is

The prediction for the chsnge in the z - distributions due to

The &p.ta in the current Set region is consistent
mainly with kj, effectst the QGD effects being saall. On the
other hand in such a case the assymnetry in the target region
is expected to be eiaiilsr in magnitude but opposite in sign.
The observed effect; is opposite in sign but smaller in rsa£ni-

Pros the KT prediction (lei) one can also expect the
value of < cos $ > to increp.se with Pj. 3?ig.6 shows < cos
as a function of p^ for different Xp ranges. For xp > 0.1
the observed trend is opposite and it agrees with the
expectations of Qjrii with k , (1C.2). For smaller Xp values
there ie no strong variation of < cos > v/ith the p^.

Conclusions
The predictions for higher twist effects in the
nadronic final states [1J have been compared to the dats from
the European tluon Collaboration. Ho effects of the predicted
magnitude have been found:
- (y, z) correlations are not conclusive,
~ CPipf Q ) " ' are not observed,
- ($, z) and ( , p~) correlations are of the opposite
sign to those predicted.
Small HT effects are perhaps not excluded.
The distributions of <ct»a 4 > for Xj, >O.1 seem to be
dominated by i T effects with s possible contribution of herd
processes. This indicates that non perturbative effects have
to be included in HJ predictions.

Abstract
Properties of hadron multiplicities in 280 GeV /t+p
interactions have been investigated. The c. m. energy
dependence in the range from 4 to 20 GeV as well as
variation with Q are presented. Ho variation faster
than logarithmic is seen in the energy range of this
experiment. Increases in both the mean charged hadron
multiplicity and the K yield are observed with2
increasing Q for fixed c m . energy W. (The detailed
study of fragmentation function shows that extra
particles are produced mainly in the central region

1. Introduction
The proces of deep inelastic scattering can be described
in Qoark-Parton Model as one photon exchanget It is two step
process: firstly the hard scattering when proton constituent
/quark or antiquark/ absorbsvirtual photon and secondly -
both, stuck object and the spectator fragment into hadrons*
hadrons: . .current jet
hadrons .-target jet
The hard scattering is described by the following quantities:
total energy available in the center of mass system /W/, • four-
momentum transfer to the ha&ronic system Afv, and the fraction
of proton monentmn carried, by the stuck quark /Xg./. These three
variables are related by: • - •.
£-i),where SL is the proton mass.
That neaas two of them are independent and needed to described
the hard scattering process con^letly. Because of that in deep
inelastic scattering there is a possibility to study separately
phace space dependence and QCD evolution. Ihis is different
from e+e~ scattering where only one variable E 2 = Q2 = s = 4-E
is needed for a complete description.
The final state hadron multiplicity is an interesting quan-
tity to look at in the context of V and Q2 dependence.
5312. Bxperiaental results
To study total nmltiplicity of hadrons the most important
experimental requirements are high, statistics and high accep-
tance for hadron detection and reconstruction. These were meet
in RA9 experiment ~ade by .European Uion Collaboration at CSES.
This experiment consisted of a vertex aagnet containing a strea-
mer chamber Bith a 1 meter long liquid hydrogen target, large
angle track chambers ana a forward spectroaeter which T.vas used
to detect and measure the scattered nucn and fast charged hadrons.
The complete system detected tracks from energies of 280 GeV
down to less than 200 UsV and gave almost 4 37 coverage in the
hadronic center of mass system. In addition, time-of-flight
hodoscopes and four Cerenkov counters gave good particle iden-
tification over a wide momentum range. ISose details of the
experimental set-up can be found elsewhere {i}.
The analysed data sample consists of 25000 events in the
kinematic range for 11 fxom 4 to 20 GeV and fox Qf above 4- GeV^.
The multiplicities of charged hadrons as well as neutral £°
yields have beea studied.
As track selection and event reconstruction are not r>erfect
one has to unfold the true /corrected/ charged hadron multi-
plicity from the results obtained from reconstuction.
The probability F(m) to observe a given multiplicity n is rela-
ted to the true aultiplicity n by
where C(n,m) is a matrix describing probability to measure real
multiplicity n as m. This is calculated from the J.tonte Carlo
simulation taking into account radiative corrEctions, detector
acceptance, reconstruction efficiency -j.nd probatility of v;rcri~
tr^ck association to the interaction vertex. ?:.e total correction
for all these effects is not ticker thari "iZ'-l. rlaving the ~.crcrix

The calculated values of X ~ per derree of freedom allcv.ei s. tsct
of the reliability cf the method as well as correct estimate of
statistical errors. Systematic errors were studied using different
track selection criteria and treating the high aultiplicity tails
in different ways. r2he estimated systematic error (.-shich includes
the uncertainties in correction for E°,A, A decays) on the total
multiplicity is m&xinuE ~0.4 *
The results obtained fros using the procedure described above
fcr each energy interval are presented on fig.1. Ibe average char-
ged saltiplicity can be correctly described as linear f-onction
of ln:.7 . Ibe results are also compared with results from 3333 for
^ and 7 interactions with protons ( 2). To conrpsre with nulti-
plicities for e+e"" annihilation one has to use only results froc
forward henisphere where single quark fragceEtation doainates.
This comparison is shov;n on fig.2 and also here the agreement is
good within quoted errors.
The dependence of aultiplicity on total available energy YJ, seen
for all data sanples is clearly the dominating effect but a que-
stion can be asked if it is the only quantity defining hsdran
nultiplicity. She candidate for fche second quantity is tf or x3-.
One can not distinguish what the correct choice is because, as they
are related, any effect existing for one of then v;ill be reflected
in the other. For this study Q, was chcosen.
Pirrure 3 presents the average charged icu.ltiplicity as a func-
533
tion of \" for four (£*" ranges* A systematic increese of the 5-10%
is obc3rv-?.3 between lowest and highest Q,~ internal and i t seems
to be independent of VJ. 'Jhe same data is ploted in fig.A- as a func-
tion of Q2 for different ?V bins. Eie comparison vfith. Lund model
(3) shows cleariv different behaviour /dashed curve/. For the
data an aproximately linear dependence in lnQ^ i s observed and
in the model no variation Tith Qr at low W and a small decrease
gfc high W is predicted.
The relation a+b ln(j2 has Jaeen fitted to the data. The slope
parameter b is positive in a l l W ranges and i t s valuse are ploted
in fig.5. "The mean value for b is 0.23 + 0.03 and is significantly
different from Lund model prediction /-0.0??+O.Oi3/«
The average yield of 2° as a function of fl for different 5J,
ranges is shown in fig.6. C?he analysis siaiilax as for charged
hadrons leads to a mean value of the slope parameter equal to
0.065 + 0.027. Thus the E° yield also tends to increase with Q,
in a similar way as aean charged hadron multiplicity.
Pinaly a question where these esctra particles corns from liave
been asked. Pigure ? a and b shows I/TZ^ <H*'/vxTt as a function
of H for different x_ bins in two ft2 intervals. It seeds tha-t
increases of charged hadron yield are observed in tiie forvjari
central and bacto?ard central regions.
The 5f dependence of total multiplicity is expected in QCD
and could be explain as beeing due to the giuon emission by the
struck quark. ISbrsover, as the mass of the scattered quark is
equal to Jjf after absorption of the virtual photon, one expects
that this highly excited (juark will eait soft gluons and that gizck
bremsstrahlung becomes more violent with increasing Q*%
These possibilities have been widely debated in perturbative QCD
in the past few years (^,5,6). However the quantitative predic-
tions from these thecii es ars difficult to exfceact and compare
•with experimental observations discussed above.

OVERVIEW OF VX IKTSSACTIOKE
H. Abramowics
Institute of Experimental Physics
University of Warsawt Warsaw, Poland
This talk is meant to be a short review of our knowledge
on neutrino nucleon interactions, given that existing results
may be looked at with some thought and new ones are expected
any time. This review is by no means complete. The topics
which are covered concern mainly our understanding of weal;
interactions and the nucleon structure. Exceptionally the
like sign darnuon production is mentioned, since some new data
have been lately available and the otherwise obscure picture
in this domain seems to clarify, at least at the experimental
level.
A lot of data exist on neutrino nucleon interactions, thus
the choice of results can hardly be objective, even less so
in this talk where they are used -for illustration only.
The main interest lies in the study of the energy
dependence of totsl cross sections. A constant slcpe in the
6(E> dependence is a measure of the point like structure of
the nucieon.
In the range of available energies (up to 200 SeV>. it
seems that for E>10 GeV the slope E/E is fairly ccnstant.
Fig.l is an example of the energy dependence of S/E as
measured by CDHS (1) and CCFRR (2). Although tnere is no

F I G S . ' - 6 show a f u l l x and Q dependence of structure

among experiments is quite good. There is some d3ssgreement
at IOK x, part of which ie due to dif ferent values ot cro=s

column points to those corrections ths di f ferent experiments

with of j—the etrong coupling const An .
There are di f ferent methods to f i t GCZ> predictions
547
available on trie market. An analytical method has been
proposed by Furmanski and Petronzio <6J based on -fits o-f
Laguerre polynomials in ln ( l /x ) . A numerical integration has
been proposed by Abott and Eurnett <6i . Devoto et al . (7)
and Lopez and Yndursin (S>. ft fixed parametrization of
structure functions at a given 0 i s then assumed . different
in different programs. Qdorico (10) performs the QCD
evolution by Monte-Carlo simulation. All those methods give
similar results, wi.th /^contained in the range .40- .40 OtV/c.
It i s quite remarkable that the f i t s obtained at
relatively low energies (Gr<200 6eV / c 1 ) , extrapolated to
high energies give such a good agreement with what i s
measured in pp interactions at the CERN-Co11ider Csee f ig .7
and ref.11).
With the new measurements expected soon in their final
version one should expect a new round of QCD f i t s , with
hopefully some more stringent limits or> A .
The longitudinal structure function Fj_ »F -2*F^ i s expected
to be non zrro, ouing to the transverse momentu* of auarks
with respect to the nucleon direction <OCD>. Any quark mass
effect i s also expected to contribute to the non zero valu*
of Ft . Eventually spin -0 constituents ' diquerl;s> may also
contribute to the violation of Callan-Sross relation.
The knowledge of Fu i s needed for the determination of
structure functions, A non sero value o-f Fu introduces a
change in the y dependence of differential cross sections, as
compared to the naivt quark p*rton model predictions.
A way to determine F is thus by -f i t t ing the y dependence
i .e . at fixed values of >••. There is even a better way to
estimate FL cat high x - from the V data at high y (say y>.5>.
The results of CDHS '1> end CHARl*. (23) are preEented on
f ig .6 in terms of R=Fj_ /2x^| ae a -function o-f x. rilthcugh the
s ta t i s t i ca l significance is poor, the agreement with OCD far
A = .£ GeV/c i s quite good. The upper liir.i't obtained by CCHS
for .4<x<.7 gives R<. 039±. 014*.025 at <D2 >=3S Sev*/c*".
The only ««y to lesrn «iore About the flavour content of
the nucleon is by using the data on v and v> scattering en
hydrogen and deuterium.
I f for »i i»pl ici ty one neglects the strange"»no charmed
<?u*rks in th-ie nuclear* then from the quark parton
representation ai the structure functions one can easily
obtain t f i * following relat ions:

d i f f erent ia t e among di f ferent models which seem to predict
such a drop.
New data are now avai lable -from the deuterium -f i l led BEBC
for a 400 GeV WB-bsaro <12>. It has been shown for the f i r s t
time that the r a t i o £V /uv i E constant as a function o-f Q
(f ig . iO) and that the antiquark content of the sea i s the
same for protons and neutrons, a feature whicn i s commonly
assumed in a l l the analyses < f i g . l l ) .
By using the Fj structure functions for neutrons and
protons separate ly , one can try t c t e s t the ftdler sum rules
0
This has been done with the new BEBC data, and one can see
indeed that the Adler SUM ru le i s va l id within s wide range
of Oa ( f i g . 1 2 ) .
The EMC effect (13), confirmees by tne BLAC-date (14j ar«J

general agreement -for larae x <sav x.;.3), wnile tne situation
is ouite unclear at low x (fig. 13).
It seems that one of the reasons for the difference
observed at low n i s the different range of Q*" covered by
different experiments. The relation between the ratio of
cross sections and the ratio of structure functions tor a
given nuclear target A and deuterium i s the following
where 6 i s the degree of longitutinal polarisation of the

virtual photon. For the mjon aats which cover a high Q
range 6. tenss tc 1. and the ratio of cross sections 1= equc.'
to the ratio of structure functions. In iht case of e--dsta,
for small values of R:
If for some reasons R i s not equal to R (not excluded By
the new SLAC data !16U ther. the lack of Q* dependence for

(valence and sea) ,a=cjg6a is the antiquarl; content 0+ the

one may t ry to f i t the data assuming that for heavy

The EMC data would lead to *£=.2 and Rj^l.35. It can be
seen from fig. 16 that even if thes* values co.Jld account for
the x dependence of th* cross sect;or ratio, th« y dependence
is MronQ. The best fit to the d#t* is caotained with
Rt=.914.07, thui no increase of the »»a content at seen.
The exclusion of the low ;: region and/or the low 0 region
(to get rid of any possible shadowing effect) does not cnange
this conclusion (Rj«.?a±.O8). Fig.17 show* the prediction of
this simple model .tuned to fit the EMC oata, if different
assumptions are made about the fi dependence of R. It is
clear from that comparison that it is extremely nard tc
accomodate both the y dependence of C'.Ne//£<P • for v and

errors, it is at least clear- that the»-e is no significant

data, and the revised CCFFR aata the situation seems tc
clarify as can be seen in fig,21 (the CHARM data will Be
probably also revised). There is a clear prompt signal, witn
an energy dependence which looks like a possible threshold
effect. There are some hints (from CCFRP:) tnat the structure
of those prompt events is compatible with cnarro production,
although the observed rates are much highar than predicted by
perturbative QCD.
One should expect soon some -final data on like sign
dimuons, while one will probably have to wait longer for some
theoretical understanding.

HERA : THE PHYSICS AND THE MACHINE
Peter SchraiiserI I . Institut flir Experimentalphysik der Universitat Hamburg, Hairiburg, FRG
Abstract:
The physics programme of the large electron-proton colliding beam fac i l i tyHERA is reviewed and a description of the accelerator project is given.
1. Introduction
The electron-proton colliding beam facility HERA now under construction at
DESr offers unique opportunities' to study extremely energetic interactions
between the two basic building blocks of matter - leptons and quarks. The
available center-of-mass energies of more than 300 SeV extend far beyond the
range of present-day fixed target experiments and would in fact require
leptons beams of 50 TeV Impinging on stationary nucleons. The average squared
momentum transfer Q at HERA will be two orders of magnitude larger than that
of the SPS or Tevatron lepton scattering experiments (Fig. 1). Consequently,
the spatial resolution is increased more than tenfold and substructures in the
proton can be investigated down to a scale of 10 cm.
In the energy range of HERA, electromagnetic and weak processes are of
comparable magnitude. While in the study of neutral current fclectro-weak
reactions HERA will have to compete with the new generation of e+e* and pp fpp)
colliders, it will be a unique tool to investigate charged current weak
interactions.
An important quantity to characterize the physics potential of a new accelera-
tor is the number of events which can be collected in a reasonable amount cf
running time. The design luminosity of HERA ir, the bead-on collision scheme is31 • - 2 -1
2-3-10 cm s but in the following 1 shall use a conservative figure of
1-10 cm" s* corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 1 pb"' per day.
Fig. 2 shows the number of charged and neutral current events with Q 2 values
larger than a given QQ. About ten events of each type are expected per day
with momentum transfers Q above the W mass.

In the quark-parton model the reaction ep - eX and ep * vX are mediated by
gauge bosons (y, Z° or W ) which are exchanged between the lepton and one of
the quark or antiquarks in the nucleon (Fig. 3). The infinite momentum frame
of the parton rao.del is actually almost identical to the laboratory frame at
HERA and one can therefore consider the high energy protons as a stream of
nearly free quarks.

of the incoming and outgoing lepton, the proton and the exchanged f i e l d
quantum are denoted by k, k \ p and q, respectively; xp Is the four-momentum
Of the struck quark. The variables used are q = k-fc •, Q* = - q 2 , x = Q2 /(2p.q!,
y ' <P-q)/(k- p). For q2 values above 103 6eV2, the lepton is scattered by
wore than 90°.
The scattered lepton appears on one side of the beam and the struck quark,
fragmenting into a "current j e t " of hadrons, on the other side. The remainders
of the proton produce a "proton j e t " of hadrons moving along the beam
direct ion. HERA is thus ideally suited to study Ifepton-quark col l is ions
without "background" from spectator quarks.'According to Monte Carlo simulati-
ons the events have a very clear signature and can hardly be confused with
proton reactions on rest gas molecules or other background.
5S6
To compute the proton structure functions the kinematics! quantities 0 and x
have to be determined. The precise knowledge of the incident electron energy
is extremely valuable but in addition the energy and angle of the current jet
have to be measured with good accuracy. In the case of neutral current events
also the kinematical quantities of the scattered lepton ere quite useful. The
HERA detectors will be equipped with highly segmented calorimeters with good
energy resolution for electromagnetic and hadronic showers. One important
design goal is to achieve equal pulse heights for electrons {photor.s/ and
hadrons of the same energy in order to be able to measure total jet energies
with good precision.
One of the unique features of the HERA collider is the possibility to study ep
interactions with longitudinally polarized electrons or positrons. The
emission of synchrotron radiation in the arcs of the electron ring leads to a
natural transverse polarization of up to 32 % if depolarizing resonances are
avoided. By a combination of horizontally and vertically deflecting magnets
the spin can be rotated into the longitudinal direction in front of an
Interaction region and back into the transverse orientation behind it. With
left- or right-handed leptons the standard mode! of electro-weak interactions
can be tested in great detail and the he!icity couplings of any new particles
to known or new currents can be determined.
2. Physics Opportunities at HERA
2.1 Proton Structure and Test of QCD
The standard physics programme at an electron-proton collider is of course the
investigation of deep Inelastic lepton nudeon scattering which up to now has
contributed so greatly to our present understanding of particle physics,
providing much of the experimental foundation of the standard model and of
QCD. At HERA a vastly extended range in Q and v is accessible and charged and
neutral current reactions can be studied at the same time. Within one year of
running time the proton structure function F,(x, Q ) can be measured with
statistical errors below 10 % for Q values up to 10 GeV whereas a typical
SPS neutrino experiment with similar running time and statistical accuracy2 2
would cover only the Q range up to about 100 GeV (Perkins, Ref.2). At such2
large Q the logarithmic scaling violations predicted by QCG should be cleariyvisible. Mass corrections and higher twist effects which obscure the QCD beha-
587
viour in the presently accessible Q range should not play any role. The deta
yield at the same time an accurate determination o' zhe querk and qluon
momentum distribution functions which are interesting by themselves but are
also very useful-as an input to calculations for pp (pp) collider physics. The
accuracy with which one can nope to measure the QCD scale parameter is about
- 40 MeV for Anrn = 200 MeV (Ref.3). The value of the strong coupling a is
predicted [1] to be ac (10 GeV-) = C.I? - 0.01 for a wide range of t,nrns ? H ? ^ us ? H ?
Q = 10 GeV? H ? ^
(100-5fl0 MeV). A measurement of a at Q = 10 GeV could clearly establish
whether the concept of a "running" coupling constant is correct. Going beyond
the quark-parton picture and standard OCC there is great interest to find out
whether there are additional constituents in the proton like scalar quarks or
whether the quarks themselves are made up of ever smaller building blocks. If
quarks are extended objects the structure functions will show power law
deviations from the values predicted by QCD. Eichten et ai [ 4] and Ruck!
f5] have considered composite quarks and leptons containing the same
constituents which are bound together by the exchange of heavy vector bosons.
Frota the apparent "pointiike" behaviour of electrons, muons and quarks at
PETRA and PEP energies one can infer that the mass scale A^ of these bosons
is at least tn the several 100 GeV to few TeV range. A direct production of
these bosons of even a measurement of propagator effects are therefore not
possible at HERA but the new interactions will lead to a residual four-ferraioa
point coupling similar to the well-known Fermi interaction in 6 decay. These
point interactions can be measured through their interference with the y, Z°
and W exchange diagrams. Depending on the value of the scale parameter hu the
effect on the proton structure function F^x,. Q } may be quite large (see
Fig. 4a). Measurements at p > 10* GeV2 could place limits on >.u of more than
2-3 TeV. Even more sensitive than the structure functions are asymmetries
Fig. 4b shows the asymmetry A between right- and left-handed electrons. A U
values up to 5 TeV seem accessible. The asymmetry has the advantage than most
normalization errors and the not well-known quark momentum distribution at
large Q drop out.
2-2 Test of the standard model, search for new currents
Before going into the discussion of detailed processes 1 would like f.o make a
few general remarks.

j e t and/or adcitional leptons coming from the lepton vertex are a clear
indication of new physics. Experimentally, the lepton vertex is well
separated from the quark vertex (see Fig. 3).
- Only left-handed electrons and right-handed positron: couple to the weak
charged current. Polarized beams are a sensitive tool to search for
right-handed W bosons.
- The parity v io lat ion in neutral current processes is large and again
polarized lepton beams are useful to look for new ZJ bosons.
The charged current reaction ep -« vX is mediated by w exchange with purely
left-handed couplings. Additional left-handed W bosons can be detected at HERA
even i f their mass should be beyond the cer.ter-of-mass energy of 300 GeV. The
reason is thai the interference with the standard W exchange leads to a
substantial increase in counting rate at large values sf 0 (see Fig. 5). W,
masses of more than 500 GeV can be determined. The situation is quite
di f ferent i f the second W couples only to right-handeo electrons. In that case
there is no interference an<J the rate for e^p -> vX may be Quite low i f the
mass of the Up is high. A lower l im i t of 400 GeV for the mass of a W boson
with right-handed couplings can be derived from the decay of polarizes mutms
[6 ] . While i t w i l l be d i f f i c u l t to improve such i l im i t at H£RA one has to
keep in mind that the experiments at low Q *re. only sensitive to right-handed
currents i f the neutral partner \*, of the right-handed charged lepton is
massless or very l i g h t , «H^;) < 10 HaV. Since there is no compelling
theoretical reason why right-handed neutrinos should be l i g h t , measureswnts at
large Q are unavoidable to either establish or rule out right-naneed
currents.
To get an Uea on the sensi t iv i ty which might be achieved at HE3A we consider
the rat io R = O D / ° I ° f t n * r igh t - and left-handed cross sections. Assuming
that the kL couples to the normal quarks am! leptons with the same strength as

At Q 5000 GeV a rat io fi = 0.05 corresponds to a WR mass cf 214 GeV. For a
degree of polarization of P = 0.80 t 0.01 and an integrated luraonosuy of
300 pb" , shared equally between left-handed and right-handed electron beams,
one obtains a s ta t i s t i ca l significance for the cress section rat io of
R/o(R) = 5.8 .
The s ta t i s t i ca l significance depends both on t •• degree of polarization P and
on the uncertainty o(P). For P = 0.60 s O.OJ. the s ta t i s t i ca l significance
obtained with the same total luminosity is only 3.0.
In the neutral current reaction ep - eX, the photon 2° interference term is
large for Q above 104 GeV2 and leads to remarkable differences between
left-handed and right-handed electrons (Fig. 6) and also between electrons and
positrons.
Polarized lepton beams allow sensitive searches for additional Z° Bosons.

2.3 Search for new particles
Electron-proton collisions are ideally suited to search for new lepttis which
coutle to the electron as well as new quarks wnich couple to the u and d
quarks ir> the proton.
A neutral heavy lepton I" and a heavy quark Q could be produced in the
rtaction e q -* I' 0. Provided new charged currents exist wnv-h do not
suppress this process througn small mixing angles ths rates are fairly high
even for large messes of the lepton and quark (e.g. 1 event per day for M. =
M_ - 50 GeV and a mass of the exchanged W boson of 200 GeV). The decay of the '
heavy lepton Issds to pronounced event signatures: ieotons and hadronfc jets
will emerge ~roni the lepton vertex instead of the single outgoing neutrino in
normal charged currents events. If such heavy leptons should be detected,
measurements with longitudinally polarized electrons wsuld be extremely
valuable. Suppose the I" was found to couple to right-handed electrons only
then it would be natural to assume that right-handed electrons belong into
weak isospin doublets rather than into singlets as in the standard model.
"mother class of particles which couple directly to either the electron or the
normal quarks in the proton are their supersymstetric partners. The associated
production o* sca?er ?epton$ and quarks
t + <j-»--e + 5 or e + q •* v + 5
proceeds through the exchange of a spin 1/2 f i e l d quantum [y, Z or W). The
salar e lect ron decays in to an electron and a phot ino, the scalar quark in to a
puar.k and i gluine or photino.

The reaction e 4 q -» v + q is much more difficult to identify experimentally
since the nuino will in general decay into invisible particles. The final
state therefore contains just a single jet of hadrons and cannot be distin-
guished from the-much more numerous charged-current events e + q-> v *q' at
lower Q . There is, however, the possibility of more complicated decay modes
of the nuino leading to multilepton or mixed lepton and naaror. final states.
In that case the events e + q - ^ - v + q w i l l be unmistakable.
The rate for associated production of scalar electrons and quarks has been
computed by Jones and Llewellyn-Smith [8] and by Altarelli, Mele and Ruck!

masses. Almost 10 events per day are expected for m~ = m~ * 40 GeV.

3. The HERA Machine
3.1 Layout and general description
The HERA collider wi1" be mounted in an underground tunne! of 6236 m circum-
ference and 5.2 m diameter. !T. consists of four 90° arcs and four 360 m icr.a
straigtit sections with the exaerimenial areas. The electron ring oas a nominal
energy of 30 GeV and is equipped with conventional iron magnets. T>ie tiipcle
magnets are excited by a single aluminum current bar. The vacuum chamber is
made from 6 copper alloy and reinforced with lead to contain the synchrotron
radiation. lor, cetter sumps are integrated in the beam pipe of the dipoie and
quadrupole magnets. The electron Rf system will be taken over from PETRA. For
energies above 26 GeV e system with 500 MHz superconducting cavities is
envisaged.
The proton storage ring consists cf superconducting dipole 2no quadrupole
magnets connected in se'iss. The nominal proton energy of 320 Gev' requires o
dipole field of A.64 T and a quadrupole gradient of 90 T/m. The beam pipe is
at liquid helium temperature and will be copper plated on the inside to reduce
the ohmic heating due te image currents accompenyino the proto.i bunches. 7he
quadrupole *mj sextupole correction magnets as well as the-correction diroles
are also Superconducting. The superconducting coils are cooled.!?/ single phase
fceliuw wfcich traverses one octant, is then'expanded through a Joule-Tr.omscn
valve and is returned to the refrigerator as a two-phase mixture. In the
stipole magnets there is heat exchange Between the single and two-phase
systems. The radiation shields in the cryostats «re cooled by helium gas cf
40-80 K.
The 8F in HERA will De 52 MH2 while the 2i0 bunches a>-e injectec fron FETRA.
After injection the voltage of a 208 MHz system is raised and the protons are
accelerated. The bunch length at 820 GeV is 35 cm.
The injection scheme is shown in Fig. 9. Seve-al stages of acceleration are ' .
ne«d«! before the electrons or protons can be injected into HiRA: separate ;
linear accelerators and synchrotrons and the modified PETRA storage ring to j
accelerate electrons to K GeV and protons to 4C GeV. The proton injection I
chain starts with negative hydrogen ions which are produced in an 18 keV ion |
source. A radio freouency ouao'upole accelerates the h" beam to 7?C KeV an- ','•
focuses and benches it at the same time. The next step is a 50 KeV linear ac-
595
celerator. From here the H" ions are injectsa into the rebuilt synchrotron
(OESY III), stripped, and the protons are then accelerated to 7 GeV/c. Due to
the statistical nature" of the stripping process, Lioui/ille's theorem does pot
apply and the proton intensity in the synchrotron is nnt limited by the phase
space of the preaccelerators. The bunch spacing in DESY III and PETRA is
28.8 m like the final spacing in HERA. The estimated filling tirr.s is 20 rain.
3.2 Interaction regions and polarization
In the present design the electron and proton bearcs collide head-on because
particle tracking calculations [9] have shown that witn a crossing angle of
more than a few milliradians synchro-betatron oscillations would be excited
when the electron bunches penetrate the much longer proton bunches. The zero
crossing angle geometry requires that the electron ana proton machines have a
number of dipole and quadrupole magnets in common. The electrons are bent away
from the protons by an angle of 10 mrad in the horizontal plane by means of
displaced quadruples and a dipole magnet. The following proton quadrupoles
and dipoles in this region have to be normal Iron magnets because the
synchrotron radiation generated in the 10 mrad bends woulfl put an intolerable
head load on the cryogenic system of superconducting magnets. This radistion
may also cause a severe background 1n the experiments. It seems possible,
however, to arrange colliraators and shielding in such » vtv that the
synchrotron radiation can enter the centra! tracking chambers tyf the detectors
only after double scattering. The resulting flux of photons with energies
above 50 keV has been estimated [10 J tc be below 10 per second which 1s a
factor of 10 lower than the flux observed in the TASSO drift chamber at PETRA.
Considerable efforts are needed to achieve longitudinal electron polarization
in the interaction regions. The emission of synchrotron radiation leads to a
natural transverse polarization which is huilt up witn a time constant of
25 min at 30 GeV ana may reach a theoretical maximum of 92.4 %. 'he machine
has to be very well aligned for this purpose and depclarizing resonances have
to be avoided. The spin can be rotated into the longitudinal direction cy a
magnetic deflection. For ultrarelativistic electrons, fr.e spin precession
frequency can be much higher than the cyclotron frecuency, the difference
frequency being given by Aw - l/2y (g-21^.. r, with v = E/ir c aid g the Lands
factor of the electron. At 30 GtV a deflection by i.32" is sufficient to

rotate the spin by yo°. A "spin rotator" has been developed [11] wnich b.y
successive vertical and horizontal deflections allows to obtain electrons with
either positive or negative heTirity in aT 1 interaction regions. The
principle is explained in Fig. 10. Particle tracking calculations [12] with a
linear optics program indicate that a degree of longitudinal polarization cf
80 S seems feasible, kith only slight mechanical adjustments of the magnets
the spin rotator can cover the energy range front 27.5 to 35 GeV. The 10 mrcd
bend near the interaction point is part of the spin rotator.
3.3 Superconducting magnets
When the superconducting magnet program was in i t ia ted at DESY several >ears
ago i t was decided to follow closely the successful design of the FMAL
Tevatron magnets. A dipole magnet with warm iron yoke has been developed at
DESY and ten 6 m long units have been bu i l t with toe? ing suitable for series
production. Al l magnets tested so far have exceeded the nominal f i e l d of
4.53 T and have showR good f i e l d homogeneity [13] . Parallel to the DESY
program an industr ial company {BBC Mannheim) has designed and constructed
three 6 m long dipoles with a cold iron yoke which d i rect ly clamps the
,.,. superccnducting co i l s . The f i r s t magnet has been tested and has reached a
f i e l d of 5.75 T. Both magnet types nave thei r r e s t i v e virtues and drawbacks.
The warm iron dipole offers good f i e la qual i ty without any iron saturation but
has a f a i r l y large heat f lux into the cryogenic system because the coi l has to
be centered inside the yoke by many supports. The stat ic heat load in tne cold
iron dipole can be made much smaller because only fe\» supports are needed artd
in addition about one tn i re of the superconductor can be saved but this
magnets suffers from large f i e l d distort ions due to iron saturation afcove 4.5
Tesla.
Stimulated by an analysis [ l 4 j of quench safety aspects in tne HERA -ing i t
s has been proposed [ l b ] to consider a magnet which combines the positive[I
'i features of both concepts and avoids roost of tiie drawbacks. In this new type
| of dipole the coil of the DESY magnet, collared with aluminum clastps, is
I surrounded with a cold iron yoke and a cryostat similar to thot of the BBC
'.} . magnet. In the meantime, the design of this "HERA flipoie" has been completed,
jj two 1 m long units have been built and tester! and four full size magnets of
!, 9 m magnetic length are close to completion. A cross section of the magnet 1s
Si shown in Fig. 11. The coil consists of two current shea's with longitudinal

collars which define the e*acT geoTit".ry ?nd tans VIP the bus? Lorertz forces.
The collars have four noses which slide into notches in the iron yoi.e and
thereby provide an accurate alignment. The yo'e laminations jrf surrjurcec b.v
a stainless steel tube wnich serves as the liauic! heliun, container anc at tr.e
same time defines the curvature of the magnet with a radius of 530 IT. The roid
part has to be supported only at th"-ee location: over the length of 9 r. The
computed static heat flux is 2.4 W into tne liquid nelium vessel sr.d c\ 'A "nto
the radiation shield.
The new magnet concept has several obvious advantage;:
- compared to the warm iron dipole one gains 12 % in the central field but
saturation effects are very small even at 6 T
- the static head load is low
- a passive quench protection by means of parallel diodes is possible.
One disadvantage which is present for any type of cold iron magnet is of
course tne large cold mass. Detailed calculations [l?j have shown, however,
that the cool down or warm up to « whole HERA octant could be done in about 40
hours.
The test results il6j obtained with the 1 m long prototype oagnets are
extremely encouring. Botte magnets exceeded tne nominal current of 4990 A at
the first excitation and reouirea just one training step to arrive at the
critical current of the superconductor. The higher harmonics measured et trie
nominal field are plotted in Fig. 12. They ai-e in general lesi than lxlC""1 ar.d
thus well within the allowed limits. Fig. 13 shows the current dependence ot
the normal sextupole coefficient by Besides the well-known hysteresis at low
current which is causeo by persistent eddy currents in the NbTi ^iiarrenii a
definite curvature is observed at la"ge excitation. This indicates s slight
saturation of the T~or yo*e. These systematic sextupole fielos will be
minimized in future magnets by some additional shimming of the coils and the
remaining contributions can be compensates using the sextuple correction
coils.

Superconducting quadruped e magnets have been designed end bu i l t at Saclay
[18]. Two warn iron quadrupoles have reached a gradient of 120 T/H>, well
above the design value ot 90 T/n. Recently, quadrupole magnets with stainless
steel col lars and a cold iron yoke have been constructed and have been excited
to 120 T/ra without quench. These quadrupoi«s are well matched to the H£RA
cold iron dipoles.
The quadrupole and sextupole correction coi ls are 6 m lon$ and are mounted
on the cold beam pipe inside the main dipcles. Several prototypes have been
bu i l t by Dutch industry. The measured quencn currents in an external f i e l d
of 5T were a factor of 2.5 above the operating current. The dipoie for orb i t
correction is a 60 cm long "superterric" C3gnet with iaminatec irof. yol:e
and two saddle-shaped superconducting coi'.s. The f i r s t prototype reached
2.3 T compared to the required vs)ue of 1.4 T.

The energy spectra of cosnic ray tnuons are .-noasured by
several different tr.ef.iods. The most dvrect method is that
based on tho use of raa^notic spectroscopes. That method
hovevcr ccinnot be extended to very bich energies where the
nuon intensities are low. At those energies the muon spo-
ctra are obtained either from the depth intensity relation
or on the basis of the nmon interaction in the burst dete-
ctors. The most poverful method is that based on the conv-
ortin^ the depth intensity curve into the energy spectrum.
That convortion is however rather complicated, in particu-
lar due to the fluctuations in energy losses.
In the present vorl: the coapErisoii is nude separately
for the sy.octra derived at sea level ( mri-cnotic spectrosc-
opes anci the burst measurements } and for the spectrum ob-
taiuoci from the depth intensity relation.

In order to check the stability of t?ie solution, the metric tensor h
is separated into four factors each a function of a single variable or
coordinate- The separation Is obtained by flegge and Wheeler by generalizing
the spherical harmonics (known for vectors, scalar*, and splnors) to
tensors). The stability of the Schwarzsehiid solution Is studied by
taking " 4R = 0 and looking for diverging solution with a factor of the
form F (t) = e" . They found for various angular momentum states that
IB* = 0 and concluded that the solutions are stable.

apparent singularity at r*0 does not lead to a singularity of the mcnopole as

ABSTRACT
He analyze irreducible, N - 1 supergravity theories with 16 boson-
ic and 16 fermionlc degrees of freedom. The Lagrangians for pure 16/16
supergravity, and for 16/16 supergravity coupled to arbitrary chiral
superfields are constructed. These theories are shown to have natural
SU(l,l) non-compact symmetry. The low energy field theory limit of the
superstring is conjectured to be of this type.
The superfields of non-minimal (20/20), N • 1 supergravity [1],
along with their lowest components are listed in Table 1. Fields e a
a • m
and i>a are the graviton and gravitlno respectively. Non-minimal super-
gravity is reduced to 16/16 supergravity by imposing the constraint [2]
where is a real superfield. Eqn. (1), with the Bianchi identities,

Parameter cs is an arbitrary real number, and e - det e a. First we de-lsrive the component field Lagrangian for pure 16/16 supergravity. In
terms of superfields this Lagrangian is given by

be written asB\ji -2(4n+B)i/J

where d, S, C> $ are real, and af+SC - 1. The potential energy of the
z-field vanishes.
We now derive the component field Lagrangian for 16/16 super-
gravity coupled to arbitrary chiral superfields $ . We denote the
scalar and auxiliary component fields of * by A and F1 respectively.

V/e -^" !z + zT Yic| 2 (45)and the gravitino mass is given by
Y/2 , -,-Y/2 ,.,
Hence, supergravity is spontaneously broken for c # 0. It is clear
from Eqn. (43) that there are two possibilities for the vacuum state.
The first is that the minimum of the function inside the brackets occurs
for a non-vanishing value of this function. The [z + z\ factor
then assures that z -*- °°, and the vacuum is unstable. The second possi-
bility is that the minimum occurs for vanishing value of this function.
639
In this case, at tree level, z is undetermined, the vacuum is stable,
and the theory has naturally vanishing cosmological constant.
For the remainder of this lecture I'll discuss the tree-level
low energy effective Lagrangian of the superstring. The Kahler poten-
tial and superpotential are given by [3,4]
K - M2 [-in(^-~) - 3 H.ni(-~~)- 2 -Ap)] (47)
W ' Wg(S) + dAB(, A V (48)
where M - M_. , /JfR and d,__ are proportional to the invariant ten-rlanck ABC
sors of the gauge group. Fields S and T are gauge group singlets.
W. is such Chat the associated potential energy has a minimum for
finite S, and that W is non-vanishing at this minimum. A specific
superpotential-3S/2b0M
«s =• M3(a + be ) (49)
has been derived from superstring theory assuming that gluino condensa-
tion in the shadow Eg sector is responsible for supersymmecrv breaking
[ 5]. In this lecture we do not require that U,. be restricted to the
form (49). Given K and W ve can calculate the tree-level potential
energy. Define
S - S + s , T - T + f
- . C.CA
Q - T - 2-Sj- (50)and le t I be the Lie algebra generators of the low energy gauge group.
Then the potential energy i s given by

where'
D W « ^ | - 4 W (52)
s sS s
and g is the gauge coupling constant. Mote that V is non-negative.
This is due to an exact cancellation of the -3|W| /M part of the
supergravity potential function. This cancellation is easily traced to
two properties of the effective theory induced from the superstring:
1) the -3 £n (Q/M) term in the Kahler potential K, and
2) the T-independence of the superpotentlal W.
The tree-level vacuum state is determined by minimizing V and is given
by
<D W> - 0
1 (53)<(T> - 0
The VEV <T> is undetermined at tree level. Note that V « 0 at the
minimum. The gravitino mass is given by
3 / 2 (<S><T>3
Since W is non-vanishing at the minimum, it follows that m, ., is non-
zero and that supersymmetry is spontaneously broken. The value of
m,, is not fixed at tree level since <T> is undetermined. We con-
elude that the low energy effective theory of the superstring has, at
tree-level, a "stable" vacuum state (<S>, <T>, and <C > are finite)
with a "naturally" vanishing cosaological constant (no fine tuning of
paraoeters). Furthermore, this vacuum spontaneously breaks supersyn-
metry but does not set the scale of this breaking (».,, is non-zero
but arbitrary). Theories with Kahler potentials similar to (47) have
been discussed in the context of "No-Scale" supergravity models in
Ref. [6j.

E, SYMMETRY BREAKING IH THE SUPERSTRING THEORY
Burt A. OvrutDepartment of Physics, University of Pennsylvania
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 19104
ABSTRACT
We derive two methods for determining the symmetry breaking of E, in
the low energy superstring theory, and classify all breaking patterns. A
method for calculating the effective Higgs vacuum expectation values is
presented. We show that there are theories with naturally light SU,
Higgs doublets, and classify all theories in which this occurs.
1. Introduction
The theory of superstrings' , which evolved from the string theories of
the early 1970'a , has recently undergone a great revival of interest,
spurred by the work of Green and Schwarz. . An anomaly free, d * 10 super-
string theory is possible with gauge groups 0(32) or E x E . The sub-o o
sequent compactification of the ten dimensional space to M x K, with M, being
Minkowski space and K a compact six-dimensional manifold, places further re-
strictions on the theory. In particular, the requirement that the corapictifica-
tion leave an unbroken N » 1 local supersymmetry in d « 4 implies that K has
SL'3 holonomy^ . The existence of spaces with SI' holonomy was conjectured by
Calabi and proved by Yau . On such spaces one is naturally led to a four
dimensional gauge theory with reduced gauge group EQ x E,/ . Below the Planck
scale the supergauge multiplet gives rise to an adjoint 496 of gluons and gluinos
corresponding to Eg, and an adjoint 78 of gluons and gluinos associated with E,.
In addition there are n_7 27'3 and n.. 27's of E , each containing left
handed fermlons and their scalar superpartners. The number of generations,
N " n,7 - n27> *s restricted on topological grounds. For simply connected
Calabi-Yau spaces K , N turned out to be hopelessly large, H > 36. This ledo ™ — •
the authors of Kef. 5 to consider multiply connected spaces K - K/H, where
B la a discrete group which acts freely on K . For a specific choice of K ,o o
and H « Z x Z_, the number of generations Is reduced to K • 4. There is an
additional benefit to having K be a multiply connected manifold. Define the
VilBon lcop
YU " ? e Y (1)
where Aa are the vacuum state E gauge fields, T a are the group generators,m o
and y is a contour in K. Then, as pointed out in Ref. 5, one can have U 4 1
• (8)even though the vacuum state gauge field strength F° vanishes everywhere.
The reason for this is that, because of the "holes" in K, A cannot necessarilym
be globally gauged to zero, even when F8^ vanishes globally. Therefore, as
long as contour Y is non-contractable, U is not necessarily unity. It follows
from Eqn. (1) that U is an element of E,. For a given vacuum <-onflguration,
A there can be many inequivalent U matrices. Loosely speaking, there is one I'
for every "hole" In manifold K. If we define # • {U}, then, with respect to
matrix multiplication, M is a discrete subgroup of E . As an abstract group
3^ C H. For example, if Aa vanishes everywhere then 7^ - {1}. For non-
trivial Aa, however, one can find that ^ - H. Let # {.' H) and M-'i" H)
m
correspond to vacua A and A respectively. Then 4? and 3^' may be two in-
equivalent embeddings of H Into E,. The possible existence of non-trivial
discrete group M has important ramifications. If Aa is a fixed vacuum stateis
and M the associated discrete subgroup, then denote by >¥ the subgroup of E
that commutes with 4^ • Then, as discussed in Ref. S, at energies belov the
645
Planck scale, E, will be spontaneously broken to >%/'. This result is of funda-b
mental importance in model building. For practical purposes the symmetry
breaking is due to effective Higgs vacuum expectation values (VEV's)
/ YTa A* dxm (2)
in the adjoint 78 representation of E . In this talk we derive methods foro
calculating patterns of E symmetry breaking. For concreteness, we focusb
our discussion on the multiply connected manifold K » K /H with H - Z x Z^ and
four generations. Many of our results, however, are valid for other manifolds
and discrete groups.
2. E, Symmetry Breaking—o
He want to study the symmetry breaking patterns of E on multiply connectedo
Calabi-Yau manifolds K - K /H. In general, H can be any abelian or non-abelian
discrete group that acts freely on K . The problem of E breaking is simpli-o o
fled, however, if we restrict H to be an abelian group. For concreteness, we
focus on the group H • Zj x Z,, (and manifold K - K^(Z x 2 ) with four genera-
tions) although our discussion is valid for any abelian group. Let Aa be a
fixed vacuum configuration, j^( * {U}) the discrete group of Vilson loops
associated with it, and-^ the subgroup of E that commutes with J/ . Also,
denote the SU,C x SU," x U gauge group of the standard model by & . The
following observations will be helpful in deriving £, symmetry breaking pat-
terns. First, the two Wilson loop generators of Z x Z, commute and, hence,
the associated effective Higgs VEV's can be simultaneously diagonalized. These
VEV's can be extended to form a basis for the E Cartan subalgebra. All the
elements of this basis commute and, therefore, m u s t have the same rank as
E&, namely six. Second, & must be at least as large as & in order to success-
fully describe kuown phenomenology. Therefore, we must find the embeddings of
^ in Efi. This problem has already been studied extensively, in particular
646
(9)by Slansky^ , who has listed all the possible symmetry breaking patterns
that preserve & and given the vector boson masses in terms of the symmetry
breaking direction in weight space. Combined with our first observation it
follows that J^must be at least SU3C x SU^" x Uj x V . Third, note that if
U is a Wilson loop in Z^ then U « 1. This follows from the fact that a
non-contractable path repeated five times is contractable. Finally, note
that if 4^" {IK E, remains unbroken. We now discuss our first method ofo
determining E, breaking patterns,o
A) Decomposition into Maximal Subgroups
E, has three maximal subgroups with rack 6: SU,C x SU,W x SU,,b J j j
SU2 x SUg> and SU x V . Let M - Z$ x Z^ and consider SU C x SU w x SU .
If U e j^ a possible form for U is
»k
a*
( (3)
where j, k are integers, a' • B • 1, and, hence, V3 » 1. Letting j and k vary
from 0 to 4, we generate 25 distinct U's, which form a representation of the
group Z. x Z . The group 5 ^ can be read off from the form of Eqn. (3). It is
#'- SU,C x SU W x U x SU, x U (4)
A second possible form for U is
\ I
(5)
Again, j, k are integers, o* • S - 1, 0 " 1, and, letting j and k vary from
0 to 4, we generate 25 distinct U's which form a representation of Z, x Z,.
The group * can be read off from the form of Eqn. (5). It is
647
SU3C Jt SU2
W x Uj I Jj I IIj (6)
Eqns. (3) and (5) are the only possible embeddings of J/- Z^ x Z5 into
SU c it SU.W x SU3 that preserve jf. The embeddings of JT - Z$ into
SU C x SU.W x SU, can be worked out in the same manner. The results are that3 3 J
j#"can be SV.C x SU,w x SU,, SU,C x SU," x SO,, and SU, x V,. The remaining
breaking patterns can be found by embedding Z, x Z, and Z_ into maximal sub-
groups SU. x SU, and S01n xll,. It is clearly preferable to have a more general
method, particularly one that allows a simple determination of the associated
effective Higgs VEV's. Such a method is most easily found by using the Dynkin
formalism*105.
B) Method of Weyl Weights
He can write the most general Wilson loop U as exp{l£A H }, where the H
are the six generators of the Cartan subalgebra of E, and the X are six real
parameters. Arrange the \ into a vector X S (a,b,c,d,e,f). Let a be a root
vector of E . The mass of the vector boson corresponding to a is proportional
to the inner product (X,a). Since the vector bosons corresponding to & must
be massleas, X - (-c,c,a,b,c,O). He can then write U as a 27-diaensional dia-
gonal matrix that depends on the three real parameters a, b, and c. The dia-
gonal elements are given in Table 1, together with the transformation properties
under SU.jC x SU2", S01Q, and SUj of the elements of the 27-plet on which they
act. Throughout this paper we label elements of the 27-plets that transform as
an A under S01(J and * B under SDj by [A.Bj.
To find the group & , we simply embed the discrete group in the above
form for U. For B • Z ; s Zj, «. could let e ^ - a , ei b - g, and e l c - aH*,
where a » g « 1 and j and k arc integers. # • Zj t 2 corresponds to two
of the parameters a, b, and c being independent, while for ¥ » Z there is
only one independent parameter. Furthermore, by using Table 20 in Slansky's
(9)report , the relevant part of which is reproduced here as Table 2, we can
1 lad which ^corresponds to a given & .
As an example, let us find all the eabeddings of jr • Z5 x 1 that break
E& to SU4 % SU2W x L'x x U (Pati-Salam).<U) From Table 1 we see that if
the (e,v) and (u,d) are to lie in a & of SU^ we must have b»-c. (We have
used the fact that the (e,v) corresponds to the weak doublet in the {16,5;]
and the (u,d) to the doublet in the £16,10).) We can then either let a be
Independent or fix a • 0,c,2c,3c, or \c. (Because of the Z symmetries
5c = 0, 6c = c, etc.) For a icuependeut ue consult Table 2 and find that
(X,a) is zero only for a - +(000001), ±(0100-10), ±(0-10011), ±(10001-1),
±(100100), ±(-1101-1-1), ±(-10010-1), and the six roots (000000). £0 we
have 20 massless vector bosons and these roots span a representation of
SU x SU_" x 0, x U . Similarly for a»0 we have 46 massiess vector bosons
and the gauge symmetry is S01Q x C ; for a » c we have SU, x SU, x U , x U_;
for a » 2c, SC. x SU x I' ; for a • 3c, SU. x SU, c V^; acd for a - 4c,
SU, x S u " x U, x U,.' We break to the Pati-Salam group in three cases:
i) a independent, J/ • Zj x Z , e l c - aJ, e l b - a"j, e 1 3 - gk; ii) a - c,
¥' Z5, eic - a
j, eib - a"*. eia • aj; iii) a - -c, M - Zy <ic - a^,
e i b « a - J , ei a - a ^ .
By examining all the values for a, b, and c allowed by the discrete
symmetry, one can exhaust all the symmetry breaking induced by Jf . In
particular we recover the eobeddings found by the first method. In addition,
ve can find for which symmetries the effective Higgs VEV's are zero in some
directions. We use this method in the next section to generate naturally
light Higgs doublets.
3. Saturally Light
Ve would like '.0 have light Higgs doublets to set the electroweak scale
and give masses through Yukawa couplings to the ordinary fermions. In par-
ticular, it is necessary that at leaat one of the light doublets be in the
649
[10,5] or [10,5] representations under [SO^SU^]. At the same tine, super-
symmetric E theories contain extra color triplets that can mediate nucleon
decay" via dimension 4 or 5 baryon number violating, J& Invariant, operators.
These triplets Bust be given very large masses. It is very difficult, even
with fine tuning, ta keep the doublet light while making the triplet heavy.
Fortunately, the same mechanism that breaks the gauge symmetry gives us a
natural method for splitting the doublets from the triplets. Although the
method does not depend on which discrete symmetry we use, for simplicity we
assume that I • 2, x Z,.
The nontrivlal gauge fields that give rise to Wilson loops different from
unity can also lead to a mass term through the coupling of the four-space part
of the chiral superfields to the gauge fields in the compactified dimensions.
In other words, one of the 27's can couple to the 27 through a tern Involving
an effective Higgs 78 VEV (27 % 27 x 78 contain* a singlet). These fields thus
acquire a mass of order the Inverse radius of the compactified dimensions, pre-
sumably the Planck mass, while the other four 27's remain massless. (Note that
we cannot have a 27 x 27 bare mass tern since, until E, is broken, the chiralo
superfields are all massless zero modes.) Let us call the 27 and 27 that
pair off X and X, and the remaining 27's tp. He then expect all the components
of X and X to gain huge muses and disappear from the spectrum. As we now show,
however, it is possible for some of these components to remain naturally mass-
less. This occurs when the diagonal entries of the U's that multiply these
components are unity. That Is, the associated effective Higgs VEV's are zero
in these directions.
As an example, let us use Table 1 to find which components of X and X are
left massless for the breaking to SU^ x SV^1 x Uj x l)j given in Section 2:i) for b • -e, a. independent, none of the U 8 is one, the effective Higgs
650
VEV then has no zeros, and all the components of X and X are massive;
ii) for b - -c, a - c, u d l a g - 1 for the color triplet in the [16,5] and
the singlet in the [16,10], and hence those components of X and X remain
mas»les«; ill) for b - -c, a « -c, the color triplet weak singlet in the
[16,10] and the [16,1] remain masaless.
Using Tables 1 and 2, we can find for which values of the parameters a,b,
and c we obtain light doublets and what the resulting gauge symmetries are.
The light doublets in X can be used as Higgs fields to break SU_" x U and
to give masses to quarks and leptons. The corresponding light doublets in
cannot couple to ordinary natter, and hence we ignore then. He list below
all the cases in which at least one weak, doublet in X is light vhile the color
triplets are all heavy: •
i) b-a+c, a and c arbitrary
masslesst doublet in [10,5]
gauge symmetry: SU3° x SU2" x Dj i Oj x llj
ii) b-4c, a-3c
massless: doublet in [10,5]
gauge symmetry: SU x SU x V
lii) b-0, a-4c
massless: doublets In [10,5] and [16,5], the a ingle t [16,1]
gauge symmetry: SU3C x SU2" x V1 X l^
iv) a-2c, b arbitrary
masaless: doublet in [10,5]
gauge symmetry: SU.C x SU,V x U. x U
v) a-2c, b-0
maaslesa: doublets in [10,5) and [16,5], singlet in [16,10]
gauge symmetry: SU3° x SU2W x Oj x tj

vi) a-2c, b=3c
massless: doublets In [10,5] and [10,5], the singlet Jl,l]
gauge symmetry: SU3° x SU2" x SU2 x l^ x l^
vil) a-2c, b»4c
massless: doublet in [10,5]
gauge sysmetry: SU x SU. x Ui
viii) b«0, a and c arbitrary
raassless: doublet in [16,5]
gauge symmetry: SU c x SO," x t^ x U r. V
ix) b»0, a-3c
massless: doublet in [16,5]
gauge symsetry: SUj x SU2 x L'j
The embedding* of J/ that give rise to these values for a, b, and c can be
readily found. For example, in case i) let e a » aJ, e c • a , and
e » a^ , a • 1. Thi» corresponds to ^ » Zj x J . In case ii) let
e i c - a-3, e1* - a3i, « i b - a4j, rfilch corresponds to JK- Z .
It is worth re-emphasizing that our light Higgs doublets were not obtained
by Cine tuning. Setting, for example, b - 3c, a • 2c as in case vi) is a choice
of parameters (optiaistically a minimum for the vacuum configuration), but not
a fine tuning, since e *, •" , and e c are restricted by the discrete symmetry
to be fifth roots of unity. These Higgs doublets are totally massless until
supersyzmetry is broken spontaneously.

Abstract
The consistency of higher vector meson states
existence with the isovector electric nucleon form factor
data has been checked. Besides the well established c(77O),
J>(1600) and the not so well established j (12SO) the con-
sistency is confirmed for yet another vector meson with the
mass just above 2fteV so far sinestablished but possibly al-
ready observed.
Presented by D.Krupa
656
According to the vector meson dominance model1' the isovector
part of the electric nucleon form factor 0' (t) can be expressed ap-b
proximetely as the sum of pole contributions due to the appearance
of the o meson and the so called higher vector mesons with the
same quantum numbers as the £i'(i25O), £(1600) etc.
Here t is the square of the four-momentum transfer, m is the
mass of the vector meson, fy is the vector meson-photon coupling
constant and sfLf? i s t nS vector meson-nucleon an'tinucleon coupling
constant.
In the generalised vector meson dominance model this sum runs
to infinity' . Due to the hadronic character of the photon''1' the
masses m and the widths I of these vector mesons are supposedv v •—•»
to be related to those of the p meson (m» and |» ) and form a Vene
ziano-like spectrum
(2)
This is the meson spectrum obtained in the chiral limit of
the dual resonance model, where daughters appear as radial exci-
tations. These relations were determined also by imposing gauge
invariance on the vector meson dominance model' / . More recently
they were derived by using the QCD duality properties' ' and by
using the finite-energy sum rules technique in QCD ' .
By using (2) with the input m. = 769 MeV, [Z = T54 MeV 7/
we have the spectrum of vector meson states with the following
first five terms:

//Of these meson's only the second radial excitation P is well
established as the so called C (I6OO). By comparing the m a s s i f "
with the mass of P(l600) from fief./7/, one can expect that the
mass spectrum of Table 1 deviates from the "true" spectrum for
In order to check the consistency of such a spectrum of higher
meson states with the data on nucleon form factors we use the same
130 experimental data points on the isovector part of the electric
nucleon form factor Gg(t) and t.he same analytical expression to
describe Gp(t) as in Ref./8/:fc

and A. are the coefficients to be suitably determined. The pairs
of complex conjugate poles at w«, and vie. are there due to the
complex conjugate poles at in - (/tvLfi^)'" and -iJ', and similarly
for the higher fc -like vector mesons. By changing N in (3) we can
thus take into account as many higher vector mesons as we wish.
The case with N £ 3 has been studied extensively earlier' , here
we are Interested in N2 3.
VThis description is based on a model of analyticity of G"(t)
in which the multi-sheeted Riemann surface structure is approxi-
mated by the four sheets resulting from the two pion cut from
t=4m£ to infinity and the second effective cut with the branch
points at t=t and at infinity, approximating thus all the other
possible intermediate states as the 43T, KK, NN etc. The short
cut on the second sheet just below the two pion cut branch point
is also taken into account'9' by a pole at w=w .
658
So she model satisfies the following basic properties:
i, analyticity
ii, reality condition G^(t*) = C^*(t)v
iii, normalization Gg(t) = 1
iv, asymptotics Gg(t) > t-i
The consequence of ii, is that the coefficients A^ in the
numerator of (3) are all real and the vector meson poles appear
in complex conjugate positions. When fitting the data by means
of (3) the free parameters are only the w and the coefficients
A' (n=1,2,...L). The coefficient A is not free, it is deter-
mined by the normalization condition iii,. The complex conju-
gate pole positions are fixed at the values corresponding to
the Table 1. The first pair of poles is on the second t—sheet,
while all the others are placed on the third sheet since their
mass is higher than the mass corresponding to the effective
branch point at t.=4mi .
The % values per number of degrees of freedom, as the
preliminary result of the fitting procedure, are shown in
Table 2. Here N and L have the same meaning as in Eq. (3).

By increasing L the number of free parameters is increased,
however, by increasing N more stable poles are introduced but
the rmmber of free parameters remains the same. It is by no
means obvious that by incresing the number of fixed poles one
would get better description of the data, unless the data is
not in agreement with the presence of such poles.
The best fit is obtained for the first four vector mesons
indicating thus that besides the a (770), p (1250) and p(ISOO)
the data prefer yet one higher vector meson with the mass above
2000 MeV. This might be the indication of the f (2150) which
has been se«sn in some formation experiments'' ' ' but omitted from
the meson table of elementary particles.

iiorstraints have bsen obtained on quark-antiquark multiplicity
distribution in quark jets by adjusting parameters of Monte-
Carlo jets to fit the experimental relation between the average
multiplicity of charged final state hadrcu s and the dispersion
of their multiplicity distribution.
Hadron production in lepton-hadron deep inelastic scattering
or e e annihilation is a complex process which may be considered
to occur in three steps!
1. Creation of quark-antiquark (or diquark-diantiquark) pairs
in the color field,
2. Hadronization, i.e. the process of quarks Cor diquerks)
dressing up into color singlets, »
3. Strong decays of resonances giving rise to observed "stable"
particles (which eventually undergo further decays on much
longer scale than that of strong processes).
It must be added, however, that the three steps are not
necessarily separated in space-time.
Hadrons observed in our detectors are products of step 3
(or possibly step 2 - in case of the lowest mass states).
Thus they carry little direct information about the initial
breaking of the color field. Step 2 is not accessible experimen-
tally and little understood theoretically. This has pronpted
the construction of phenomenological models like th# Field-
Feynnian [1] or LUIJ2 [2] to describe the evolution of quark jets.
Of course any quantity related to step 1 is of interest for
our understanding of strong processes.

[6j. The parameters A and B (see ?ig.1) seea to be indQpsndtnt
of the quark flavor, since the data for vp pertain mostly
to d quarks, those for' vp and ^ p - to u quarl:3, whereas
the e'e data represent averages over five quark flavors with
u and o quarks entering with ths largest weight.
The method used here to obtain constraints on quark-antiquark
multiplicity distribution consisted of generating llonte-Carlo
quarks jets and adjusting parameters of the model to fit the
above experimental relation between < r.w> and Dp.
The codel used for generating particle contents in quarl:
jets involves the follov/ins assumptions:
1. Only three flavors (u, d, s) are produced with probabilities
uu:dd:ss = 1:1: X .
2. Only qq pairs are produced. Possible production of diquar:-:-
diantiquark pairs is neglected-
3. Ths primary mesons belong to the three nonets! J^= 0

if. There is no correlation between the numbers of primary
pseudoscalar, vector and tensor r.esons in a jet.
Thus the model ha3 three independent adjustable parameters,
ths strange quark suppression factor X , and two of the three
probabilities ?, T, V.
Composition of particles in quark jets was generated in the
following v/ay. The number Kqq of primary qq pairs in eaoh
jet v;as determined according tc sorae assumed ^.v.ltiplioity
distribution (see below). The nature of each meson was fixed
randomly according to a given choice of parameters X , Ps V, T.

The decay chains of unstable mesons v,-ere traced down to
"stable" particles. Then charged "stable" hadrona from each
jet were counted and stored for calculating < n^> and Dp
in a £ivun sample of jots.

2) roisson, or rather a "truncated" Poissor. without II qq = 0,
2) Flat distribution between i.'riq = 1 and Kqq = K „, with
••_,,,.. allov/ed to vary.
Tho exclusion of Kqq = 0 is obvious, because in a quari: jet
•one requires at least one particle, charged or neutral, to be
present. •
The results of Monte-Carlo calculations are shoraa in Fig.2.
It appears that v/ith the three distributions for Bqq one can
not obtain Dp and < n^> to agree with experiment, no matter
what parameters P, V, T and X are chosen. In particular,
the Poisson distribution for Uqq yielded Dj, always larger
than that observed experimentally for a given < n ^ .
This result served as an indication that an agreement with
experiment may be obtained by starting from a distribution of
Bqq narrower than the Poisson distribution. Hence the nex;t step
was to try a simple two-parameter distribution, a Gaussian,
for which the width <J was varied for a given <Kqq> and a given
set of parameters P, V, T and X .
The.- surprising result of these calculations was that again
the parameters P, V, T and X had little influence on the relation
between Dp and < n-^, in contrast with the width O to which
the results were rather sensitive. Fig.3 shows an example of
results for < Uqq >=!(., in which case Cf =O.65V<fTqq> = 1.3
v;as found to' fit the experimental relation.
Finally, it was found that the best-fit Gaussian width
increases linearly with <Kqq> as shown in Pig.4. This seems to
be independent of the flavor of the quark which initiates a jet.
One may conclude that, given the assumptions of the model
of quark jets, the multiplicity distribution of qq pairs seems
to be narrower than the Poisson distribution at a given
V/ith the Gaussian ansata for the multiplicity distribution
of qq pairs one finds the wi^th CT increasing linearly with

An attempt is made to summarize the present theoretical
and experimental situation with grand unification.

It is interesting to observe the reversal of our attitude towards the Idea
of grand unification: it was first considered rather immodest by many people for
trying too much too soon, and now it faces the opposite problem - of being not
ambitious enough, since the gravitational force is completely left out of
consideration*
Still, after more than a decade GUTS have stimulated a large amount of work
by a lot of people, stirred quite a few polemics, become an important link with
modern cosmology and played a crucial role in the world-wide dedicated search
for proton decay. Why? Sometimes I am not sure whether it's due to the actual
progress or the peculiar soclo-psychology of our field that makes fashions come
and go. I hope that this short review will help make up your own mind on this
question.
1 will address the issues of proton decay and sin2ew at length. Me shall
go through the predictions of both the standard 8U(5) theory and its
supersymoetrlc extension. As you know, the SO(5) theory suffers from a serious
defect: it fails to unify even a single family of tensions. It is only natural
then to study its extension, the S0(10) theory which provides a minimal one
family model. SO(10) has rather interesting properties characterized by the
existence of domain walls, strings and raonopoles. The amusing gravitational
characteristics of domain walls and strings are discussed. Finally, I argue
that we have to go beyond S0(10) in order tc incorporate a unified picture of
families. This leads to the prediction of mirror fermions, whose physics is
carefully analyzed.
All of this is incorporated in the following table of contents:
I. The SU(5) theory: sin29jj and tp
II. Supercyanetry
til. S0(10)
671
IV. Domain walls and strings
V. Family unification and mirrors - the S0(18) theory
VI. Outlook
It is only fair to enumerate the topics I haven't discussed here, either
due to the lack of space or my ignorance. These are: monopoles, baryon
asymmetry, strings and galaxy formation, and most important, there is no mention
of gravity.
Before we go on, let me remind you briefly of the reasons we got excited
about grand unification. Besides the usual story of sin26jj, proton decay,
charge quantization, etc., I will also show you how GUTS imply purely massless
photon-on phenomenological grounds.
(i) Charge quantization1
Since GUTS unify quarks and leptons into a simple (or semisimple) group,
charge operator is one of the generators of the group and so
Tr Q • 0
en
This relates Che charges of quarks and leptons* For example, Sl)(5) contains
five dimensional fermionic representation
v° R
and so
3 <4 + < £ . P.(it) sin29w prediction2
Related to (i), which implies the connection between SU(2)L and U ( 1 ) Y
couplings.
(lit) Proton decay*
Unifying quarks and leptons leads to exotic gauge bosons X tnat couple to
both qq and qi states, which obviously leads to the violation of baryon number.
The mass of these particles is the unification scale, and is predicted by means
of the renormalization group2. This in turn determines proton lifetime.
(iv) MasslessneBB of the photon3
How come Oy » 0? Since in gauge theories m . - e <Vy>, where V^ is
a v.e.v. of some charged scalar, the question is how come <My> * 0? In an
Abelian case, you could take the charge arbitrarily small, and so small
m (<10 eV) is perfectly OK. In the non-Abelian case, however, the charge is
quantized as we have just seen. This implies the existence of a physical Higgs
scalar with the charge of order 1 and a mass of order V^ (as in the usual
Higgs mechanism). Such scalars, almost tnassless, are ruled out experimentally
e.g. for their large contribution to g-2 at the two-loop level. Grand
unification forbids the photon mass, no matter hog small! Of course, it doesn't
offer any deep reason as to why this is so.
(v) Baryon asymmetry'*
I will not go into an; details. At high temperature, t - Mx, baryon
number violating interactions are fast enough to create a nonvanishing baryon
number, even if the universe started symmetric in baryons and antibaryons.
Except for the very minimal SU(5) theory, one can accommodate the observed ratio
of matter and radiation nj/Oy = 10~9.
(vi) Monopoles5
The breaking G » 8 » 11(1) produces magnetic monopoles (it's not the only
such breaking) with mass -I/a Mj. Amazingly enough, these monopoles can
catalyse the proton deeey with the strong interaction cross sections.
673
I. The SU(5) Theory: sinJ9y and tp
Probably the main original source of excitement about GUTS comes frois the
predictive power of the minimal SU(5) theory6. As you know, the gauge structure
and the minimal Higgs sector determine both the proton lifetime and sin2e(f.-7
sin29 (M ) - 0.216 ± 0.004H W
t (p + e+it°) = (0.06 - 240) x 1029 yr. (1.1)

T (p + e+n°) > 2.5 x 10 3 2 yr. (1.2)P exp
puts SU(5) theory in trouble. There are still ways out of this impasse.
(i) Increased Higgs sector3
This is likely to keep the low energy physics intact, since the survival
principle tells us that except for the usual light SU(2) x U(l) doublet, the
rest of Higgs scalars become superheavy. Their masses may not be precisely
equal to Mx, however. For example, add _45 (considered necessary by some
people) with the spectrum under 5 U ( 2 ) L X U(l) X S U ( 3 ) C
•l a2 m3
4 ^ - (2, 1, lc) + (1, -2/3, 3c) + (3, -2/3, 3c) +

mi, m ^ mg ID^
This is rich enough to modify predictions substantially.
Assume conservatively 1/10 < mi/tnj < 10; this is still sufficient to
increase rp by two orders of magnitude, while keeping sin2^ essentiall)' intact.
(ii) Number of families
The predictions in (1.1) are fairly insensitive to the number of families
Np, except in the H_»8 case. Since then 6 " o o p=0, the two-loop effects
actually become dominant. Bagger et al 1 0 find Tp(Nf«8) * 1032 yr. Me shall
see in the context of family unification (section V) that Np»8 may not be so
crazy.
(iii) Mew fermlons
Not very appealing; I won't discuss it here,
(iv) Supersymmetry
This, of course, modifies the low energy world, and therefore it goes under
the departures from the minimal theory. The whole next section is devoted to
it.
675
II. SPPERSTHKETKT
In the context of perturbative unification, supersymmetry appears almost as
a must. The reason, of course, Is the infamous hierarchy problem. Super-
symmetry simply prevents the miracle Mjj/Mx £ 10"13 from being renormalized in
perturbation theory. What about its implications for Tp and sin Syj?
(i) d-6 operators
The first contribution is the usual exchange of superheavy gauge bosons.
The results are summarized below11

The theory appears completely safe; actually if this was the only source of
proton decay there would be very little hope of observing it in the near
future. Now, sin2ey is slightly pushed up, but still OK — an Important
distinguishing feature from the standard nodel.
(ii) d-5 operators
Obviously, in a supersysmetry theory besides X bosons we are bound to deal
with their supersynaetric partners, the fermionic superheavies X. They also
mediate proton decay, at even faster rates12. The typical proton decay diagram
would be
gluino (W-ino, ...)
676 8
The predictions are not precise; they depend on glutno or V-ino mass and the
•quark masses.
Gluino exchange is particularly Interesting, since it is expected to
dominate13. It leads to a model Independent prediction
p • K*"vp (vT)
other decay modes being forbidden. I wish I could tell you what the lifetime
for this process is; it Is not hopeless, however, and could be seen.
Supersymoetry is plausible and important; don't rule out SU(5) yet.
677
III. S0(10)
Whether or not Slf(5) works we don't know. In any case, I feel that it
couldn't be a final theory. Its asymmetric treatment of up and down quarks and
left and right components is in By opinion unforgivable for a grand theory. The
aininal extension of SU(5) that unifies at least one fanily of feralons is based
on the by now popular alternative SO(IO)111. This theory has a plethora of
rather exciting features that I would like to review now.
Probably the most Interesting aspect of orthogonal groups are its splnor
representations. They are nothing but the Euclidian version of the Lorentz
group. Imagine a Dlrac algebra in Euclidian space (Clifford algebra15)
{y±, Tj} - 2 Sjj! i,J - 1 2N . (3.1)
Then in the usual manner the commutators
Tij s 7 "ij * 4T tv *j] <3'2>
generate the Lie algebra of SO(2N) group (why 2N will be obvious later). The
dimension of the complex spinor representation of (3.2) would be 2", if not
for
^FIVE - lN n *z • • • *ars YFIVE ' 1 (3'3)
which commute with all the generators
WIVE' V " ° • F W E ' .V 0 ' (3'4)
This allows the notion of internal "helicity"
"L" ("R") j ^ ^ - (3.5)
splitting the splnor into 2N~l dimensional L(R) components.
The rank of S0(2N) is N. It is convenient to choose N diagonal generators
to be
T2k-1, 2k = h . k • 1, • • ., » (3.6)
678
since their eigenvalues are ±1. Each physical state can be represented by the
ket:
1ej . . .cK> (3.7)
with
TFIVE - HH • • • S • (3'8)
We shall fix v - 1.
He oust decide now which of SO(2N) theories allow chiral fermlons, i.e.
which forbid bare mass terms. Take a gauge rotation
U « e * 1 * E N • 1 Ej • • • £ { ] (3.9)
so that
0* - iNT (3.10)
The bare mass term transforms then in the following manner:
1"f + i 2 N It • (3.11)
Demanding i2N « -1 requires 2N « 4k+2, where k is an integer. In other words,
S0(4k) are bad theories — they are vectorlike. You can similarly show the same
for SO(odd) groups. Of physical interest are only SO(4k+2) groups
S0(10), S0(14), S0(18) ; (3.12)
S0(10) is the minimal orthogonal GUT.
If you feel that you don't need all this to discuss S0(10) — we shall need
spinors in section V again. Let me just illustrate to you how simple and useful
e-notatlon is; you can list physical states by shuffling signs

Let us now discuss the physics of S0(10).
Proton decay and slr.23w
Me cannot predict either of these: S0(10) is just too large a group.
It contains both SU(5) x U(l) and the Pati-Salam SU(2)T x SU(2)D x SU(4).
u K \j
subgroup; the predictions depend on the route of symmetry breaking. In general
Intermediate scales increase Tp, while having enough freedom to keep sln29(f
consistent with the experiment.
Charge conjugation and parity
The lb_ dimensional spinor of S0(10) contains all the left-handed feraions
c — Tf, and their charge conjugates f, = C(f_) (one family). It is perhaps not too
surprising that one of S0(10) rotations changes each feralon Into its charge
conjugate16
S0(10)(3.14)
680
A remark Is in ordar. Notice that the above is a perfectly OK definition
of charge conjugation; under it jy(e.m.) + -jy (e.m.). Furthermore, you can
show the saae for the rest of the scalar fields affected by this transforma-
tion. In general it also changes every left-handed field Into its right-harmed
counterpart (as in (3.14)], In a sense this operation can be viewed as a proto-
type of left-right symmetry. In S0(10) left-right symmetry is the autoraatic
consequence of gauge symmetry. For real couplings <CP conservation) this
coincides vith the usual definition of parity ?L • TR.
This is extremely important. This otherwise discrete symmetry becomes
gauged and, therefore, has profound cosmological consequence* The usual
disastrous domain walls associated with different value now disappear, or at
least are not stable*
Furthermore, C can be broken independent of other symmetries17. You can
still preserve SU(2)R after breaking C. A typical scenario could be
MX
S0(10) • SU(2)L x SU(2)R x SU(4)C x C
» SU(2)L x SU(2)R x U(1)B-L * SU(3)C
+R S U ( 2 ) L x U(1)R x U(1)B-L x SU(3) c
5L S U ( 2 ) L x U(l) x Sl)(3)c
or any variation that you may find appealing. It is important to know that
there are consistent scenarios with M . down to its lower limit - 105 GeV and
MR as low as 1-10 TeV. There could be a lot of new phyBics in S0C10): rare K
decays such as KL * i>e. n-n oscillations, right-handed currents, right-handed
neutrinos, etc. I will not go into details here; we obviously need more
experimental input before anything concrete can be said about SO(10) breaking.
68?
CP violation (weak)
You may or may not keep Yukawa couplings real. If you don't, you will end
up with the usual Kobayashl-Maskawa mechanism. If you do, however, you have aa.
interesting possibility of breaking CP and F spontaneously. You can even do it
at high energies (Mx). There is no decoupling In this case and CP propagates
down to low energies. Imagine
<<f,H> - Hy. ei 9 (3.15)
where I! denotes heavy Hlggs; this could be the only complex quantity. This
could provide hope for establishing the connection between baryon asymmetry and
CP violation in kaon decays , missing in the standard scenario. However, in
realistic models we find additional (real) parameters which obscure this
connection. More work Is needed.
'CP violation (strong)
It is worth mentioning that in S0(10) Peccei-Quinn symmetry becomes just a
fermlonlc number19
where *16 is the basic splnor (one family of fermlons). More important, since
the scale of U(l)pQ is limited to the interval
10s GeV < M < 1012 Gev (3.17)
it is natural to tie MpQ to the scale of B-L breaking (or SU(2)j). Since
the mass of right-handed neutrinos
M ^ - M B L . (3.18)
This leads to the connection between axion and neutrino itass20
682

for each flavor.
Feralon masses and jgospln breaking
One of Che central issues in weak Interaction physics is the relationship
between a^ and sy- Can S0(10) shed any light on this question? At first
glance this appears hopeless. Namely, the only way to relate n^ and ny is
take real 10, with the Yukawa coupling
I* - «> T16 +10 *16 + h'c- ^3-2°)
This leads to niu • ay- Nonsense? Hell, not necessarily. Recently, Chang
et al z l point out isospin breaking depends (obviously) on SU(2)R breaking, and
therefore may be achieved spontaneously and induced into the tree-level
relations* Unfortunately, as in the case of CF violation there are unknown
parameters that obscure the predictions• Still, the idea is quite interesting
and should be pursued.
663
IV. DOMMB HAILS AMP STBIBCS
In my mind, the most Interesting aspect of S0(10) theory are possible
topological deformations: domain vails, strings, and monopoles* As an example,
imagine the symmetry breaking pattern
MvS0(10) • S U ( 2 ) L X.SU(2)R X D(1)B-L * SD(3)cx C
• R SU(2)L x D(1)R x n(l)B-L x SU(3)C x C
+L SU(2)L x 0(1) x SU(3)C
Notice that at the MR stage you get monopolee, since SU(2)R is broken to
0(1)R. These monopoles could be fairly light (- 100 TeV?)! At M8L stage,
we should get strings (breaking of U(l)). Actually, since C is broken
spontaneously (but was in S0(10) to start with), one gets domain walls bounded
by strings — rather amazing objects with possible cosmological relevance22.
But we don't know the pattern of symmetry breaking; it's senseless to discuss
precise properties of these objects. Rather, I would like to describe here some
recent work on the spectacular gravitational properties of domain walls and
strings. There are now new exact solutions to Einstein's equations: it is,
however, enough to study Newtonian approxlmae in order to discuss the relevant
physics.
Domain walls23
The simplest example of discrete symmetry is $** theory without a cubic term
. L - j ( S / ) 2 -J U 2 - " 2 ) 2 (4.1)
with symmetry D: t * ->.
The two minima of the. theory are at <•> • ±v. There ought to be a domain
•*11 connecting the vacua. It ia the famous "kink" solution
$(z) « v th z/S
6 - v-1 /7/X
describing infinite, static domain wall in x-y plane.
(4.2)
The energy of this wall is determined by v, and the thickness is given by 5. It
Is easy to write Che fcaergy-monentun tensor of the kink
diag (1, 1, 1, 0) (4.3)
with f(z) • J T * eh'" j and my aetric being (1, -1, -1, -1). For a very thin
wall we could take f(s) - «<*). Actually you can write down T " for a thin wall
just by using Lorentz invariance.
The important feature of (4.3) is tha: its form is equivalent to negative
pressure in x ana y directions: Px - Py - "P. Pz " Oi T h l s lt n o t B 0 s t r a n 8 5 ~"
remenber the T" for the relativistic vacuum: T" - A«" — again negative pressure
(this is the cause of exponential expansion of the inflationary uaiversu). In
any case, the gravitational field in the Newtonian approximation for slowly
ooving objects (like us) i»2>t
- 4*0 f(z) (4.4)
685
Domain walls are "antigravitatlonal" — they repel ordinary natter. Science
fiction dream coming true? I find this fascinating.
We have studied Infinitely large domain walls; such objects are not allowed
to exist. It is sufficient, of course, that the wall 1B large compared Co the
material body It affects. However, for fast-moving walls this analysis breaksv
down.
Strings
We can perform the sane analysis for strings. Imagine a static, infinitely
long, thin string along the z-axis. Its energy-oomeatun teaser is
T|J - Wi(3c) «(y)diag (1,. 0, 0, 1) (4.5)
where u is the linear energy density.
Now we have a miraculous cancellation (again 'negative pressure" in the z
direction)
'*• " 0 (4.6)
No gravitational field for slowly noving objects!
However, light does bend as Vilenkin shows. He found the exact solution to
be (In "cylindrical" coordinates)2*1
ds2 - -it2 + (dz2 + dp2 + p2dfl) (4.7)
where a varies in Interval [0, (l-4Gu) 2*]. The space has "conical" form, and
if you can travel a large distance you would know it.
686
V. oHOTCATIOB OF FAMILIES
S0(10) Is a beautiful theory, and yet It mistreats the families: they are
just copies of each other. If perturbatlve unification is to shed light on the
faally problem, we mist go beyond S0(10), sticking for the reasons of chirality
to S0(10+4V). Before we do the counting of state, we mist analyze the
properties of the spectrum. He take
Y F I V E " «I «a • • • «5 • • • e s + 2 k " l <-5-»
which implies two possibilities
(1) E l . . . 5 - 1 (ii) ex . . . e5 - -1 (5.2)
By definition case (i) denotes usual fermions, lb_ dimension spinors, and (11)
describes T6's. Hence, the major prediction: for every ordinary feralon f with
V - A currents there is a mirror fermlon F with V + A weak interactions25'26.
Recall that mirror symmetry, as defined In (3.9), forbids the bare nass terms of
the fora fF.
This implies that S0(14) is not large enough. Its spinor has dimension 64,
leading to only two ordinary families and two mirror families. The minimal
group la then S0(18).
S0(18)
The S0(18) spinor is 256 dimensional: it contains eight families and eight
mirror families. This is far too aany if we are to maintain asymptotic freedom
needed for perturbative unification. The strategy is to break SO(1S) down to
S0(10) x S0{8), S0(8) being the fatally symmetry. The physics depends on the
next stage of symmetry breaking.
(a) Bagger and Dioopoulos break S0(8) to U{1)H, needed co protect some
families. They end up (demanding asymptotic freedoo) with four families (and
four mirror families).
687
(b) Chang, Huboch and Mohapatra28 use Sp(4) x SU(2) as a protective
symmetry and end up with three families.
(c) With Wilczek and Zee we demand Peccei-Quinn symmetry to solve the
strong CP problem. We get three families.
Although the number of families is not fixed, in this context it can only
be three or four. In any case, there are mirrors. Where are they? Let us,
rather quickly, verify the consistency of their existence29.
(i) They barely mix with ordinary fermlons. The leading mixing term must
be dimension 5,
L = i- f ^ F , (5.3)mix Hx
where $2 symbolically denotes the presence of two SU(2) x 0(1) doublets (to fora
a. singlet). Therefore, the mixing is
9fF * 5 " 10~13 (5-4>induced through weak breaking. You can produce mirrors only in pairs. The
reason we don't see them is that they are heavy (why?).
(ii) The mixing has Important cosoological implications. The lifetime of
the lightest mirror fermlon becomes
Tp . _ . ! sec
for My = 100 GeV, % * 10ls GeV . (5.5)
This is why geologists cannot find them. Presumably, they all decayed prior to
nucleosynthesis.
(ill) Mirror fermion masses are bounded from above
MF < 250 GeV (5.6)
or else the couplings would blow up before Mx- You ought to see mirrors in
666
supercolliders* I don't know, however, why they are heavier than ordinary
fermions.
(lv) Neutrinos: there i6 a danger of too many neutrinos. The hope is that
SOUK of the SU(2) x U{1) singlet components survive the "see-saw" mechanism,
find their doublet partners and form neutral Dirac leptons, with masses on the
order of the weak scale. This reduces the number of light neutrinos. In the
pure S0(18) case, Chang, Kumar and Mohepatra30 claim the necessity of
intermediate B-L scale being less than 1011 TeV.
It is maybe worthwhile to be cautious at this point. The number of
neutrino species will soon be counted (or at least limited) In Z° decays. For
all that we know this number may surpass the cosmologlcal limit. For example,
there is Linde's point that large neutrino degeneracy cen eliminate the helium
abundance limit. And a large lepton number may be even consistent with GL'TS
such as S0(10) (or SO(16))31.
(v) We should find some deeper explanation of this strange fact that all
mirror fermions are very heavy; possibly heavier than all the ordinary fermions.
I hope you are convinced Chat conventional GUTS, if large emush, can offer
a solution to the family puzzle. Families can be naturally unified in
orthogonal groups. If so, we shall definitely find mirror matter with unusual,
right-handed weak interactions. The fate of this, as is only appropriate, lies
now in the hands of experimentalists. Do not be afraid if the message is
somewhat narcissistic: we ought to look more into mirrors.
689
VI. OUTLOOK
I guess, after all is said, the face remains that the proton is still
stable. It is not surprising that the enthusiasm for GUTS (at least with the
usual Higgs mechanism) has somewhat diminished. A lot of people feel that the
minimal SU(5), the theory that caused most of the excitement, is ruled out. It
is not so easy to make the case for grand unification in such an atmosphere.
However, the problem is not with these theories in general; the problem is that
we got carried away mainly due to the sin 2^ prediction. But, as I have shown
here, this prediction could still be OK, and proton could still be unstable,
just long-lived due to, say, supersymmetry or a larger group, such as S0(10) or
. . . . A good many among us believe in supersymmetry, anyway, so let us w>t
worry yet. Let's keep in mind that verification of GUTS will not come easy, if
it comes at all. This is somewhat ironic. The more we study them, the oore of
their interesting properties seem to be uncovered. These theories can contain
monopoles, domain walls and strings, with profound implications. Monopoles may
catalize baryon decay. Strings may be responsible for galaxy formations.
Strings and dooain walls have fascinating gravitational properties. Even more
important, GUTS nay explain the genesis of matter. They are beautiful theories,
rich in physical and cosmological phenomena. X do hope they do not end up being
another victim of the ugly facts of nature.
Their only serious setback: they leave gravity completely out of the
picture. If we could judge by this simmer's excitement, the string theories may
achieve this monumental task. And if the quarks and leptons are elementary
particles, the true GUT should then be based on an E(6) model, resulting from
E(8) x E(8) heterotic superstring theory. If correct, this theory would explain
the hierarchy problem and determine the number cf families. My ignorance
prevented me from summarizing the situation at the moment, and, in any case, it
is done by Ovrut32, in these Proceedings.
