1811.03655 | Edward Shuryak | Adith Ramamurti and Edward Shuryak | Extending the hydrodynamical description of heavy-ion collisions to the
"outer edge" of the fireball | null | null | null | null | hep-ph | http://arxiv.org/licenses/nonexclusive-distrib/1.0/ | It is well known that relativistic hydrodynamics provides very good
description of heavy-ion collisions at RHIC/LHC energies up to transverse
momenta $p_\perp\sim 2\, \text{GeV}$. In this paper, we suggest that this
description can be extended to higher $p_\perp\sim 6\, \text{GeV}$, beyond
which hard collisions contribute. While most previous work focused on a part of
the freezeout surface at the latest proper time (referred to in this work as
the "lid"), we focus on the complementary part, to be referred as "the outer
edge," where the highest transverse rapidity of flow $\kappa\sim 1.4$ is
achieved. We study this surface analytically, using the Riemann rarefaction
wave, and numerically, using MUSIC numerical hydrodynamic code. We also use an
improved freezeout condition, where the collision rate equals the expansion
rate. For central collisions, we observe good description of spectra for
$\pi,K,N$ in central PbPb LHC collisions in this extended region. We further
suggest that "the outer edge" has very small azimuthal asymmetry even for
non-central collisions, smaller than predicted by standard hydrodynamics.

include discussion of twin hydrogen DM | null | 10.1007/JHEP09(2017)033 | null | hep-ph | http://arxiv.org/licenses/nonexclusive-distrib/1.0/ | We study extensions of the Twin Higgs model that solve the Hierarchy problem
and simultaneously address problems of the large- and small-scale structures of
the Universe. Besides naturally providing dark matter (DM) candidates as the
lightest charged twin fermions, the twin sector contains a light photon and
neutrinos, which can modify structure formation relative to the prediction from
the $\Lambda$CDM paradigm. We focus on two scenarios. First, we study a
Fraternal Twin Higgs model in which the spin-3/2 baryon
$\hat{\Omega}\sim(\hat{b}\hat{b}\hat{b})$ and the lepton twin tau $\hat{\tau}$
contribute to the dominant and subcomponent dark matter densities. A
non-decoupled scattering between the twin tau and twin neutrino arising from a
gauged twin lepton number symmetry provides a drag force that damps the density
inhomogeneity of a dark matter subcomponent. Next, we consider the possibility
of having the twin hydrogen atom $\hat{H}$ as the dominant DM component. After
recombination, a small fraction of the twin protons and leptons remains ionized
during structure formation, and their scattering to twin neutrinos through a
gauged U$(1)_{B-L}$ force provides the mechanism that damps the density
inhomogeneity. Both scenarios realize the Partially Acoustic dark matter
(PAcDM) scenario and explain the $\sigma_8$ discrepancy between the CMB and
weak lensing results. Moreover, the self-scattering neutrino behaves as a dark
fluid that enhances the size of the Hubble rate $H_0$ to accommodate the local
measurement result while satisfying the CMB constraint. For the small-scale
structure, the scattering of $\hat{\Omega}$'s and $\hat{H}$'s through the twin
photon exchange generates a self-interacting dark matter (SIDM) model that
solves the mass deficit problem from dwarf galaxy to galaxy cluster scales.

hundred MeV and a few GeV heavier than the neutral scalars. The $\phi_+$ will
decay at the vertex; the signature for this decay will be like that of a

that the oscillation probabilities deviate significantly from the corresponding

black hole (still in the weak-gravity limit) with non-zero angular momentum and
detected on the same side, i.e., the non-lensed neutrino. Moreover, for a given
gravitational body and geometric parameters, there exists a distance scale for
every energy scale (and vice versa), after which the rotational contribution in
the neutrino phase becomes significant. Using the sun-sized gravitational body
in the numerical analysis of the one-sided neutrino propagation, we show that
even a small rotation of the gravitational object can significantly change the
survival or appearance events of a neutrino flavor registered by the detector,
which is located on the earth. These effects are expected to be prominent for
cosmological/astrophysical scenarios where neutrinos travel past by many

particles within the context of the Next-to-Minimal Supersymmetric Standard
Model with right-handed (RH) sneutrinos. In this construction the RH neutrino
can be produced directly from Higgs decays or in association with a RH
sneutrino when the latter is the lightest supersymmetric particle. The RH
neutrino is generally long-lived, since its decay width is proportional to the
neutrino Yukawa, a parameter which is predicted to be small. The RH neutrino
late decay can therefore give rise to displaced vertices at the LHC, which can
be identified through the decay products, which involve two leptons (2l+ MET)
or a lepton with two jets (ljj). We simulate this signal for the current LHC
configuration (a centre of mass of 8 TeV and an integrated luminosity of L=20
fb^-1), and a future one (13 TeV and L=100 fb^-1). We show that a region of the
parameter space of this model can be probed and that the RH neutrino mass can
be reconstructed from the end-point of the two-lepton invariant mass
distribution or the central value of the mass distribution for two jets plus
one lepton. Another exotic signature of this construction is the production of
a long-lived stau. If the stau is the next-to-lightest supersymmetric particle,
it can decay through diagrams involving the small neutrino Yukawa, and would
escape the detector leaving a characteristic trail. We also simulate this
signal for various benchmark points and show that the model can be within the

showering. We compare to the same effect in Pythia and Dire. The cross section
then increases substantially because of the summation of threshold logarithms
included in Deductor.
We also study the cross section to have a gap with no jets between two hard
jets that are widely separated in rapidity. Here we compare Deductor with
virtuality based ordering with Deductor with kT ordering and we check whether
adding an underlying event and hadronization has a significant effect beyond
that found with just a parton shower.

one-loop Dirac neutrino masses. The interactions between the new scalars (two
singly-charged fields) and neutrinos induce general neutrino interactions (GNI)
which, as a generalisation of the non standard neutrino interactions,
constitute an additional tool to probe models beyond the SM like this. In this
work, we consider a $U(1)_{{B-L}}$ gauge symmetry as the responsible for the
Diracness of the neutrinos and the radiative character of the neutrino masses.
We determine the viable parameter space consistent with neutrino oscillation
data, leptonic rare decays and collider constraints, and establish the most
relevant experimental prospects regarding lepton flavor violation searches and
GNI in future solar neutrino experiments.

] | The Zee model for Dirac neutrinos is one of the simplest models featuring one-loop Dirac neutrino masses. The interactions between the new scalars (two singly-charged fields) and neutrinos induce general neutrino interactions (GNI) which, as a generalisation of the non standard neutrino interactions, constitute an additional tool to probe models beyond the SM like this. In this work, we consider a $U(1)_{{B-L}}$ gauge symmetry as the responsible for the Diracness of the neutrinos and the radiative character of the neutrino masses. We determine the viable parameter space consistent with neutrino oscillation data, leptonic rare decays and collider constraints, and establish the most relevant experimental prospects regarding lepton flavor violation searches and GNI in future solar neutrino experiments. |

for consistency with the operator product expansion of QCD. We find gluonic
enhancement of HLO contributions to the muon g-2 by about 6%, which nicely
fills in the gap between the holographic estimate without gluonic effects and
the phenomenological one using the experimental data as inputs. Similar
calculations including the gluonic effects for the electron and the tau lepton
g-2 are also carried out in good agreement with the phenomenological estimates.
We then apply our holographic estimate to the Walking Technicolor (WTC) where
large techni-gluonic effects were shown to be vital for the Technidilaton,
(pseudo) Nambu-Goldstone boson of the (approximate) scale symmetry of WTC, to
be naturally as light as 125 GeV. It is shown that the value of the techni-HLO
contributions to the muon g-2 is 10-100 times enhanced by inclusion of the same
amount of the gluonic effects as that realizing the 125 GeV Technidilaton,
although such an enhanced techni-HLO contribution is still negligibly small
compared with the current deviation of the Standard Model prediction of the
muon g-2 from the experiments. The techni-HLO contributions to the tau lepton
g-2 is also discussed, suggesting a possible phenomenological relevance to be
tested by the future experiments.

connected by time-like or space-like Wilson lines, which ensure gauge
invariance. Off-lightcone Wilson-line operators have broad applications in
various contexts. For instance, space-like Wilson-line operators play a crucial
role in determining quasi-distribution functions (quasi-PDFs), while time-like
Wilson-line operators are essential for understanding quarkonium decay and
production within the potential non-relativistic QCD (pNRQCD) framework. In
this work, we establish a systematic approach for calculating the matching from
the gradient-flow scheme to the $\overline{\rm MS}$ scheme in the limit of
small flow time for off-lightcone Wilson-line operators. By employing the
one-dimensional auxiliary-field formalism, we simplify the matching procedure,
reducing it to the matching of local current operators. We provide one-loop
level matching coefficients for these local current operators. For the case of
hadronic matrix element related to the quark quasi-PDFs, we show at one-loop
level that the finite flow time effect is very small as long as the flow radius
is smaller than the physical distance $z$, which is usually satisfied in
lattice gradient flow computations. Applications include lattice gradient flow
computations of quark/gluon quasi-PDFs, gluonic correlators related to
quarkonium decay and production in pNRQCD, and spin-dependent potentials in
terms of chromoelectric and chromomagnetic field insertions into a Wilson loop.

describe the modification of the color correlation length with energy as a

this approach to the initial pre-equilibrium (glasma) state of an heavy-ion

spectrum of the glasma state. This initial entropy, by extension to the N=4 SYM
theory, is then matched as the key input parameter to the strong coupling
evaluation of thermalization towards the hydrodynamic regime based on the

beyond-the-standard-model interactions between neutrinos and matter.
Specifically, we focus on scalar-mediated non-standard interactions (NSI) whose
impact fundamentally differs from that of vector-mediated NSI. Scalar NSI
contribute as corrections to the neutrino mass matrix rather than the matter
potential and thereby predict distinct phenomenology from the vector-mediated
ones. Similar to vector-type NSI, the presence of scalar-mediated neutrino NSI
can influence measurements of oscillation parameters in long-baseline neutrino
oscillation experiments, with a notable impact on CP measurement in the case of
DUNE. Our study focuses on the effect of scalar NSI on neutrino oscillations,
using DUNE as an example. We introduce a model-independent parameterization
procedure that enables the examination of the impact of all non-zero scalar NSI
parameters simultaneously. Subsequently, we convert DUNE's sensitivity to the
NSI parameters into projected sensitivity concerning the parameters of a light
scalar model. We compare these results with existing non-oscillation probes.
Our findings reveal that the region of the light scalar parameter space
sensitive to DUNE is predominantly excluded by non-oscillation probes, except
for scenarios with very light mediator mass.

Our study focuses on the effect of scalar NSI on neutrino oscillations, using DUNE as an example. We introduce a model-independent parameterization procedure that enables the examination of the impact of all non-zero scalar NSI parameters simultaneously. Subsequently, we convert DUNE's sensitivity to the NSI parameters into projected sensitivity concerning the parameters of a light scalar model. We compare these results with existing non-oscillation probes. Our findings reveal that the region of the light scalar parameter space sensitive to DUNE is predominantly excluded by non-oscillation probes, except for scenarios with very light mediator mass. |

dimension-4 and dimension-5 operators contribute, which reveals the

$\theta_{c}=(1.2\sim2.8)^{\circ}$ for the $Q=c$ case and
$\theta_{b}=(0.28\sim0.34)^{\circ}$ for the $Q=b$ case. Our prediction of
$\theta_{c}$ is consistent with the most recent Lattice QCD result within

the recent experimental measurement from Belle and Lattice QCD calculation for
the semileptonic decay $\Xi_{c}^{0}\to\Xi^{-} e^{+}\nu_{e}$.

To this end we treat quark-antiquark correlations in the pion channel (bound
states and scattering continuum) within a Beth-Uhlenbeck approach that uses
medium-dependent phase shifts. A striking medium effect is the Mott transition
which occurs when the binding energy vanishes and the discrete pion bound state
merges the continuum. This transition is triggered by the lowering of the
continuum edge due to the chiral restoration transition. This in turn also
entails a modification of the Polyakov-loop so that the SU(3) center symmetry
gets broken at finite temperature and dynamical quarks (and gluons) appear in
the system, taking over the role of the dominant degrees of freedom from the
pions. At low temperatures our model reproduces the chiral perturbation theory
result for the chiral condensate while at high temperatures the PNJL model
result is recovered. The new aspect of the current work is a consistent
treatment of the chiral restoration transition region within the Beth-Uhlenbeck
approach on the basis of mesonic phase shifts for the treatment of the

near-threshold resonances, such as complex energies and residues. The method is
based on the observation that the Green's function and the T-matrix can be
represented as the sum of all poles, both bound and resonant poles, in the
complex plane of a variable in which the Green's function and the T-matrix are
single-valued functions. The symmetries of poles, which arise from the
unitarity of the S-matrix, naturally impose the sum to obey the proper
threshold behaviors. The imaginary part of Green's function and the T-matrix
are directly related to observables such as scattering cross sections or
invariant or missing mass distributions of hadron resonances. Thus we can
determine their pole positions and residues by fitting their imaginary part to
observables. We also test the new method by regarding the imaginary part of the
$T$-matrix calculated exactly in a model theory as virtual experimental data.
As a model theory, we take double-channel meson-baryon scatterings in the
chiral unitary model with channels, $\overline{K}N (I=0)$, and $\pi\Sigma
(I=0)$. By fitting the imaginary part of the $T$-matrix calculated in the model
theory by that of the uniformized pole-sum, we obtain the pole positions and
residues. Comparing the obtained results with those of the exact calculation in
the model theory, we conclude that our new method works very well.

The method is based on the observation that the Green's function and the T-matrix can be represented as the sum of all poles, both bound and resonant poles, in the complex plane of a variable in which the Green's function and the T-matrix are single-valued functions. The symmetries of poles, which arise from the unitarity of the S-matrix, naturally impose the sum to obey the proper threshold behaviors. The imaginary part of Green's function and the T-matrix are directly related to observables such as scattering cross sections or invariant or missing mass distributions of hadron resonances. Thus we can determine their pole positions and residues by fitting their imaginary part to observables. We also test the new method by regarding the imaginary part of the $T$-matrix calculated exactly in a model theory as virtual experimental data. As a model theory, we take double-channel meson-baryon scatterings in the chiral unitary model with channels, $\overline{K}N (I=0)$, and $\pi\Sigma (I=0)$. By fitting the imaginary part of the $T$-matrix calculated in the model theory by that of the uniformized pole-sum, we obtain the pole positions and residues. Comparing the obtained results with those of the exact calculation in the model theory, we conclude that our new method works very well. |

four-quark spinless meson fields within the framework of a generalized linear
sigma model in which the trace anomaly of QCD is exactly realized. To determine
the pure scalar glueball mass ($m_h$), we consider the decoupling limit in
which the scalar glueball decouples from the meson fields. We find the exact
relationship $m_h = 2\, h_0$ where $h_0$ is the vacuum expectation value of the
scalar glueball field independent of the properties of the framework used.

All possible dilepton final states with zero, one or two charged leptons that

predictions are obtained using the automated implementation of NLO QCD+EW
corrections in the OpenLoops matrix-element generator combined with the Munich

important role in the context of BSM searches, due to the presence of large EW
Sudakov logarithms at the TeV scale. In this kinematic regime, important
observables such as the jet transverse momentum or the total transverse energy
are strongly sensitive to multijet emissions. As a result, fixed-order NLO
QCD+EW predictions are plagued by huge QCD corrections and poor theoretical
precision. To remedy this problem we present an approximate method that allows
for a simple and reliable implementation of NLO EW corrections in the MEPS@NLO
multijet merging framework. Using this general approach we present an inclusive
simulation of vector-boson production in association with jets that guarantees
NLO QCD+EW accuracy in all phase space regions involving up to two resolved
