“…In Ref. 15] it was pointed out that the vanishing of the above integral is due to a rather delicate cancellation between the regions where pol is positive (y = p s e =M W < y 0 ) and regions where it is negative (y > y 0 ). Here we denote the cross-over point where the integrand vanishes (i.e., the zero position) by y 0 ' 3:1583. in the SM case.…”

We show from general principles that there must be a center of mass energy, p s 0 , where the polarization asymmetry A = ( e ! W )= ( e ! W ) for circularly-polarized photon and electron beams vanishes. In the case of the Standard Model, the crossing point where the asymmetry changes sign occurs in Born approximation at p s e = 3:1583 : : : M W ' 254 GeV. We demonstrate the sensitivity of the position of the polarization asymmetry zero to modi cations of the SM trilinear WW coupling. Given reasonable assumptions for the luminosity and energy range for the Next Linear Collider(NLC) with a backscattered laser beam, we show that the zero point, p s 0 , of the polarization asymmetry may be determined with su cient precision to constrain the anomalous couplings of the W to better than the 1% level at 95% CL. In addition to the fact that only a limited range of energy is required, the polarization asymmetry measurements have the important advantage that many of the systematic errors cancel in taking cross section ratios. The position of the zero thus provides an additional weapon in the arsenal used to probe anomalous trilinear gauge couplings.

"Perversion in Pnin (Reading Nabokov Preposterously)" explores the issue of perverse hermeneutics in Nabokov's most innocent novel. After noting the anxieties that surround sexually oriented readings of Nabokov's work, the article argues that Pnin contains a series of genital references, some of which involve a perverse reading of Gertrude's rendition of the scene of Ophelia's drowning. The slandering of Ophelia—embedded, among other places, in the descriptions of a planned parenthood clinic and a Soviet May Day parade—provides a counterpart for the slandering of Pnin by various narrators in the novel. The article contends that in its many images of twisting and winding, the novel thematises the struggle for control over the turns (versions) taken by the narrative. The squirrel, the novel's obviously emblematic beast, should be read as a symbol (or as a familiar) of the necessary pairing of the poetic and the perverse. Central to this argument is the concept of "preposterous oversight"—a phrase that hints at the necessarily perverse and obsessive voyeurism promoted by the novel as the key to its "true understanding" by the reader. The article concludes with the suggestion that the novel transposes the moral question of Ivan Karamazov's theological "revolt" into a metafictive, procedural key.
