Event Topology

Striking events with isolated charged leptons, large missing transverse momentum and large transverse momentum of the hadronic final state [Formula: see text] were observed at the electron proton collider HERA in a data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of about 130 pb-1. The H1 collaboration observed 11 events with isolated electrons or muons and with [Formula: see text]. Only 3.4±0.6 events were expected from Standard Model (SM) processes. Six of these events have [Formula: see text], while 1.3±0.3 events were expected. The ZEUS collaboration observed good agreement with the SM. However, ZEUS found two events with a similar event topology, but tau leptons instead of electrons or muons in the final state. Only 0.2±0.05 events were expected from SM processes. For various hypotheses, the compatibility of the experimental results was investigated with respect to the SM and with respect to possible explanations beyond the SM. Prospects for the high-luminosity HERA-II data taking period are given.

The angular asymmetry in decays of polarized muons and tau leptons is discussed. Both the standard [Formula: see text] Fermi model and the general parametrization via Michel parameters are considered. Numerical importance of contributions suppressed by charged lepton mass ratio is underlined. Contribution of the second order QED correction is estimated in the leading logarithm approximation.

Polarized Proton

The new method for studying polarized parton distribution functions via the Drell-Yan process with tau production is proposed. The hadronic decay of tau to single charged pi-meson and neutrino is utilised for determination of the polarization state of the tau-lepton. The key feature of our approach is that we do not sum over the polarizations states of tau, but preserve this information through energies ofpions produced in corresponding decays. The new method in addition to existing ones should improve the accuracy of measurements of polarized structure functions of hadrons. In the current work, the feasibility of such an approach is assessed through numerical simulations.
