In this paper, we use Parisi and Sourlas dimensional reduction to show that QED has two phases, the strong coupling phase and weak coupling phase. Because chiral symmetry is spontaneously broken, particles with fractional charges are confined in the strong coupling phase by the condensation of topological configurations, and particles with integer charges are screened by fermion pairs.

The search for neutral resonances at the energy frontier has a long and illustrious history, resulting in multiple discoveries. The canonical search scans the reconstructed invariant mass distribution of identified fermion pairs. Two recent analyses from the CDF experiment at the Fermilab Tevatron have applied novel methods to resonance searches. One analysis uses simulated templates to fit the inverse mass distribution of muon pairs, a quantity with approximately constant resolution for momenta measured with a tracking detector. The other analysis measures the angular distribution of electron pairs as a function of dielectron mass, gaining sensitivity over a probe of the mass spectrum alone. After reviewing several models that predict new neutral resonances, we discuss these CDF analyses and potential future applications.

Tighter-bound Cooper fermion pairs are obtained in a model with anomalous occupancy for fermions confined to an infinite slab mimicking the copper-oxide planes in cuprate superconductors. The model is applied to several typical high T c superconductors. T c values in this model are higher than those obtained with normal occupancy. Small but nonzero values for the anomalous occupancy parameter give a remarkably good description of the data.
