The breaking of electroweak symmetry, and origin of the associated “weak scale”, v weak=
1/2 2 GF= 175 GeV, may be due to a new strong interaction. Theoretical developments over …

This biennial Review summarizes much of Particle Physics. Using data from previous
editions, plus 1600 new measurements from 550 papers, we list, evaluate, and average …

We show that the bound from the electroweak data on the size of extra dimensions
accessible to all the standard model fields is rather loose. These “universal” extra …

We present a new analysis of parton distributions of the proton. This incorporates a wide
range of new data, an improved treatment of heavy flavours and a re-examination of prompt …

We compute the effect of soft-gluon resummation, at the next-to-leading-logarithmic level, in
the hadroproduction cross section for heavy flavours. Applications to top, bottom and charm …

The D0 Collaboration has performed a measurement of the top quark mass mt based on six
candidate events for the process tt→ bW+ b W−, where the W bosons decay to e ν or μ ν …

Very stringent regulation in the maximal S content of gas oil have led to an intense activity of
research dealing with all the aspects of desulfurization. The design of future processes is …

The top quark, when it was finally discovered at Fermilab in 1995 [1, 2, 3], completed the
threegeneration structure of the Standard Model (SM) and opened up the new field of top …

The top quark, discovered at the FERMILAB TEVATRON collider in 1995, is the heaviest
known elementary particle. Today, ten years later, still relatively little is known about its …

We determine the top quark mass mt using tt pairs produced in the DØ detector by s= 1.8
TeV pp collisions in a 125 pb− 1 exposure at the Fermilab Tevatron. We make a two …
