On the super-energy radiative gravitational fields
We extend our recent analysis (Ferrando J J and Saez J A 2012 ) on the Bel radiative gravitational fields to the super-energy radiative gravitational fields defined by Garcia-Parrado (2008 ). We give an intrinsic characterization of the new radiative fields and consider some distinguished classes of both radiative and non-radiative fields. Several super-energy inequalities are improved.

title: An intrinsic characterization of the Kerr metric
abstract: We give the necessary and sufficient (local) conditions for a metric tensor to be the Kerr solution. These conditions exclusively involve explicit concomitants of the Riemann tensor.

title: On the intrinsic labeling of space‐times: a characterization of the Kerr solution
abstract: The interest of obtaining an intrinsic (depending solely on the metric tensor) and fully explicit characterization of a space‐time is pointed out. We give the necessary and sufficient (local) conditions for a metric tensor to be the Kerr solution. These conditions exclusively involve concomitants of the Weyl tensor.

title: Vacuum type I spacetimes and aligned Papapetrou fields: symmetries
abstract: We analyse type I vacuum solutions admitting an isometry whose Killing 2-form is aligned with a principal bivector of the Weyl tensor, and we show that these solutions belong to a family of type I metrics which admit a group G3 of isometries. We give a classification of this family and study the Bianchi type for each class. The classes compatible with an aligned Killing 2-form are also determined. The Szekeres–Brans theorem is extended to non-vacuum spacetimes with vanishing Cotton tensor.

title: Obtaining the Weyl tensor from the Bel–Robinson tensor
abstract: The algebraic study of the Bel–Robinson tensor proposed and initiated in a previous work (Ferrando and Sáez in Gen Relativ Gravit 41:1695–1715, 2009) is achieved. The canonical form of the different algebraic types is obtained in terms of Bel–Robinson eigen-tensors. An algorithmic determination of the Weyl tensor from the Bel–Robinson tensor is presented.

title: Aligned Electric and Magnetic Weyl Fields
abstract: The results on the non-existence of purely magnetic solutions are extended to the wider class of spacetimes which have homothetic electric and magnetic Weyl fields. This class is a particularization of the spacetimes admitting a direction for which the relative electric and magnetic Weyl fields are aligned. We give an invariant characterization of these metrics and study the properties of their Debever null vectors. The directions ‘observing’ aligned electric and magnetic Weyl fields are obtained for every Petrov-Bel type.

title: ISOLATED LEPTONS IN EVENTS WITH LARGE MISSING TRANSVERSE MOMENTUM AND THE SEARCH FOR SINGLE TOP PRODUCTION AT HERA
abstract: Recent results in searches for high transverse momentum leptons in events with large missing transverse momentum in electron–proton collisions at HERA are reviewed. These searches have implications for searches for physics beyond the Standard Model. The most recent results on searches for single top production via Flavour Changing Neutral Currents are reviewed. The consistency of results from the H1 and ZEUS collaborations and prospects of discovering new physics during the final year of HERA running are discussed.

title: On direct measurement of the W production charge asymmetry at the LHC
abstract: The prospects for making a direct measurement of the W production charge asymmetry at the LHC are discussed. A modification to the method used at the Tevatron is proposed for measurements at the LHC. The expected sensitivity for such a measurement to parton distribution functions is compared to that for a measurement of the lepton charge asymmetry. The direct measurement approach is found to be less useful for placing constraints on parton distribution functions at the LHC than a measurement of the lepton charge asymmetry.

title: Probing QCD at the Highest $Q^2$ Deep Inelastic Scattering
abstract: Recent results from the HERA ep collider are reviewed in these proceedings. The results are from measurements that probe QCD at high-energy scales, as defined by $Q^2$, the four-momentum-transfer squared of the collisions. These cross-section measurements provide information about the parton distribution functions (PDFs) of the proton and can be used to constrain global fits of these PDFs. Recent measurements of the strong coupling $\alpha_S$ and jet substructure from HERA at similar energy scales are also reviewed.

title: Events with an isolated lepton and missing transverse momentum and measurement of W production at HERA
abstract: A search for events containing an isolated electron or muon and missing transverse momentum produced in e±p collisions is performed with the H1 and ZEUS detectors at HERA. The data were taken in the period 1994–2007 and correspond to an integrated luminosity of 0.98 fb−1. The observed event yields are in good overall agreement with the Standard Model prediction, which is dominated by single W production. In the e+p data, at large hadronic transverse momentum PTX > 25GeV, a total of 23 events are observed compared to a prediction of 14.0 ± 1.9. The total single W boson production cross section is measured as 1.06 ± 0.16 (stat.) ± 0.07 (sys.) pb, in agreement with an Standard Model (SM) expectation of 1.26 ± 0.19 pb.

title: Production of Z(0) bosons in elastic and quasi-elastic ep collisions at HERA
abstract: The production of Z 0 bosons in the reaction ep→eZ 0 p (*) , where p (*) stands for a proton or a low-mass nucleon resonance, has been studied in ep collisions at HERA using the ZEUS detector. The analysis is based on a data sample collected between 1996 and 2007, amounting to 496pb -1 of integrated luminosity. The Z 0 was measured in the hadronic decay mode. The elasticity of the events was ensured by a cut on η max max is the maximum pseudorapidity of energy deposits in the calorimeter defined with respect to the proton beam direction. A signal was observed at the Z 0 mass. The cross section of the reaction ep→eZ 0 p (*) was measured to be σ(ep→eZ 0 p (*) )=0.13±0.06(stat.)±0.01(syst.) pb, in agreement with the Standard Model prediction of 0.16 pb. This is the first measurement of Z 0 production in ep collisions.
