The standard theory of electroweak interactions predicts a parity nonconserving asymmetry in the order of 1 × 10−5 for the quasi-elastic scattering of 300 MeV longitudinally polarized electrons from nuclei at backward angles. The experimental setup for the detection of such small effects is described, and the procedure of data taking and analysis is discussed with regard to systematic uncertainties. The experimental asymmetry is found to be Aexp = (−3.51 ± 0.68 ± 0.20) × 10−6, where the first quoted error specifies the statistical uncertainty, the second one, the systematical. Aexp is interpreted in terms of model-independent coupling constants between the weak neutral current and the nucleon.

We study the effect of both Z and Z′-mediated flavor-changing neutral current (FCNC) on the Bd→ℓ+ℓ-, (ℓ = μ, τ) rare decay. We find that the branching ratio can be larger by order two from its Standard Model (SM) value due to the effect of both Z and Z′-mediated FCNC, though the major contribution comes from Z boson and provides signals for new physics beyond the SM.

We study the exclusive flavor changing neutral current process [Formula: see text] in the leptophobic Z′ model, where charged leptons do not couple to the extra Z′ boson. The branching ratio, as well as, the longitudinal, transversal and normal polarizations are calculated. It has been shown that all these physical observables are very sensitive to the existence of new physics beyond the standard model and their experimental measurements can give valuable information about it.

Abstract General flavor changing Goldstone boson (GB) interactions with fermions from a spontaneous global U(1)G symmetry breaking are discussed. This GB may be the Axion, solving the strong QCD CP problem, if there is a QCD anomaly for the assignments of quarks U(1)G charge. Or it may be the Majoron, producing seesaw Majorana neutrino masses by lepton number violation, if the symmetry breaking scale is much higher than the electroweak scale. It may also, in principle, play the roles of Axion and Majoron simultaneously as far as providing solution for the strong CP problem and generating a small Majorana neutrino masses are concerned. Great attentions have been focused on flavor conserving GB interactions. Recently flavor changing Axion and Majoron models have been studied in the hope to find new physics from rare decays in the intensity frontier. In this work, we will provide a systematic model building aspect study for flavor changing neutral current (FCNC) GB interactions in the fermion sectors, or separately in the quark, charged lepton and neutrino sectors and will identify in detail the sources of FCNC interactions in a class of beyond standard model with a spontaneous global U(1)G symmetry breaking. We also provide a general proof of the equivalence of using physical GB components and GB broken generators for calculating GB couplings to two gluons and two photons, and discuss some issues related to spontaneous CP violation models. Besides, we will also provide some details for obtaining FCNC GB interactions in several popular models, such as the Type-I, -II, -III seesaw and Left-Right symmetric models, and point out some special features in these models.
