On Explicit point multimonopoles in SU(2) gauge theory
It is well known that the Dirac monopole solution with the U(1) gauge group embedded into the group SU(2) is equivalent to the SU(2) Wu–Yang point monopole solution having no Dirac string singularity. We consider a multicenter configuration of m Dirac monopoles and n antimonopoles and its embedding into SU(2) gauge theory. Using geometric methods, we construct an explicit solution of the SU(2) Yang–Mills equations which generalizes the Wu–Yang solution to the case of m monopoles and n antimonopoles located at arbitrary points in R3.

title: Fundamental chiral strings
abstract: The problem of the non-uniqueness of the string theory in the space Rd-1,1 with d ≤ 10 and the procedure of the compactification and the deompactification are discussed. We consider a compact bosonic string defined as a closed string moving in the Lorentizian torus T25,1 and introduce fundamental chiral bosonic string (FCBS) as a universal cover of a compact string. It is shown that the Fock spaces of any standard strings are embedded into the Fock space of FCBS.

title: Noncommutative instantons in higher dimensions, vortices and topological K-cycles
abstract: We construct explicit BPS and non-BPS solutions of the U(2k) Yang-Mills equations on the noncommutative space 2nθ × S2 with finite energy and topological charge. By twisting with a Dirac multi-monopole bundle over S2, we reduce the Donaldson-Uhlenbeck-Yau equations on 2nθ × S2 to vortex-type equations for a pair of U(k) gauge fields and a bi-fundamental scalar field on 2nθ. In the SO(3)-invariant case the vortices on 2nθ determine multi-instantons on 2nθ × S2. We show that these solutions give natural physical realizations of Bott periodicity and vector bundle modification in topological K-homology, and can be interpreted as a blowing-up of D0-branes on 2nθ into spherical D2-branes on 2nθ × S2. In the generic case with broken rotational symmetry, we argue that the D0-brane charges on 2nθ × S2 provide a physical interpretation of the Adams operations in K-theory.

title: Solving string field equations: new uses for old tools
abstract: It is argued that the (NS-sector) superstring field equations are integrable, i.e. their solutions are obtainable from linear equations. We adapt the 25-year-old solution-generating “dressing” method and reduce the construction of nonperturbative superstring configurations to a specific cohomology problem. The application to vacuum superstring field theory is outlined.

title: On nonperturbative solutions of superstring field theory
abstract: Nonperturbative solutions to the nonlinear field equations in the NS sector of cubic as well as nonpolynomial superstring field theory can be obtained from a linear equation which includes a “spectral” parameter λ and a coboundary operator Q ( λ ). We borrow a simple ansatz from the dressing method (for generating solitons in integrable field theories) and show that classical superstring fields can be constructed from any string field  T subject merely to Q ( λ ) T =0. Following the decay of the non-BPS D9 brane in IIA theory and shifting the background to the tachyon vacuum, we repeat the arguments in vacuum superstring field theory and outline how to compute classical solutions explicitly.

title: Muon reconstruction and identification with the Run II D0 detector
abstract: We present an overview of the muon reconstruction and identification methods employed by the DO collaboration to analyze the Run II (2001-2011) p (p) over bar data of the Fermilab Tevatron collider at root s = 1.96 TeV. We discuss the performance of these methods, how it is measured using DO data, and how it is properly modeled by the DO simulation program. In its pseudorapidity acceptance, vertical bar eta vertical bar < 2, the muon system identifies high-p(T) muons (p(T) greater than or similar to 10 GeV) with efficiencies ranging from 72% to 89%. Muons tracks are reconstructed in the DO central tracking system with efficiencies ranging from 85% to 92% and with a typical relative momentum resolution of 10% for p(T) = 40 GeV. Isolation criteria reject multijet background with efficiencies of 87-99%.

title: Properties of the a0(980) meson
abstract: The mass and width of the a0(980) have been independently determined from a nearly background free data sample and the coupling constants to the eta-pi and K-K-bar modes have been determined

title: Measurement of the semileptonic charge asymmetry in $B^0$ meson mixing with the D0 detector
abstract: We present a measurement of the semileptonic mixing asymmetry for B0 mesons, a^d_{sl}, using two independent decay channels: B0 -> mu+D-X, with D- -> K+pi-pi-; and B0 -> mu+D*-X, with D*- -> antiD0 pi-, antiD0 -> K+pi- (and charge conjugate processes). We use a data sample corresponding to 10.4 fb^{-1} of ppbar collisions at sqrt(s) = 1.96 TeV, collected with the D0 experiment at the Fermilab Tevatron collider. We extract the charge asymmetries in these two channels as a function of the visible proper decay length (VPDL) of the B0 meson, correct for detector-related asymmetries using data-driven methods, and account for dilution from charge-symmetric processes using Monte Carlo simulation. The final measurement combines four signal VPDL regions for each channel, yielding a^d_{sl} = [0.68 \pm 0.45 \text{(stat.)} \pm 0.14 \text{(syst.)}]%. This is the single most precise measurement of this parameter, with uncertainties smaller than the current world average of B factory measurements.

title: Higgs Boson Studies at the Tevatron
abstract: We combine searches by the CDF and D0 Collaborations for the standard model Higgs boson with mass in the range 90--200 GeV/c2 produced in the gluon-gluon fusion, WH, ZH, tt¯H, and vector boson fusion processes, and decaying in the H→bb¯, H→W+W−, H→ZZ, H→τ+τ−, and H→γγ modes. The data correspond to integrated luminosities of up to 10 fb−1 and were collected at the Fermilab Tevatron in pp¯ collisions at s√=1.96 TeV. The searches are also interpreted in the context of fermiophobic and fourth generation models. We observe a significant excess of events in the mass range between 115 and 140 GeV/c2. The local significance corresponds to 3.0 standard deviations at mH=125 GeV/c2, consistent with the mass of the Higgs boson observed at the LHC, and we expect a local significance of 1.9 standard deviations. We separately combine searches for H→bb¯, H→W+W−, H→τ+τ−, and H→γγ. The observed signal strengths in all channels are consistent with the presence of a standard model Higgs boson with a mass of 125 GeV/c2.

title: Search for charged massive long-lived particles.
abstract: We report on a search for charged massive long-lived particles (CMLLPs), based on 5.2  fb(-1) of integrated luminosity collected with the D0 detector at the Fermilab Tevatron pp collider. We search for events in which one or more particles are reconstructed as muons but have speed and ionization energy loss (dE/dx) inconsistent with muons produced in beam collisions. CMLLPs are predicted in several theories of physics beyond the standard model. We exclude pair-produced long-lived gauginolike charginos below 267 GeV and Higgsino-like charginos below 217 GeV at 95% C.L., as well as long-lived scalar top quarks with mass below 285 GeV.
