Unusual initial and final state effects in quantum chromodynamics

A number of fundamental tests were constructed which can be used to probe discrete symmetries, and their possible violations, in the required ''new physics'' beyond the standard model. On-going experiments with unpolarized e- e+, collisions contain many events for the production-decay sequence e- e+ → Z degree, γ* → τ- τ+ → (A-X)(B+ X). By inclusion of ρ polarimetry observable such experiments enable two distinct tests for leptonic CP violation in τ → ρν decay by generalization of the energy correlation function for Z degrees, or γ* → τ- τ+ → (ρ-ν) (ρ+bar ν). Other research programs are (i) continuing to investigate the proposal that partons be identified with nearly degenerate, coherent quark-gluon ''jet'' states, and are (ii) investigating the novel consequences of q-analogue quantization of quantum fields, and of a completeness relation for the q-analogue coherent states
