addressing the gauge hierarchy problem. Its main actor, the relaxion, is a
light spin-zero field which dynamically relaxes the Higgs mass with respect to
its natural large value. We show that the relaxion is generically stabilized at
a special position in the field space, which leads to suppression of its mass
and potentially unnatural values for the model's effective low-energy
couplings. In particular, we find that the relaxion mixing with the Higgs can
be several orders of magnitude above its naive naturalness bound. Low energy
observers may thus find the relaxion theory being fine-tuned although the
relaxion scenario itself is constructed in a technically natural way. More
generally, we identify the lower and upper bounds on the mixing angle. We
examine the experimental implications of the above observations at the

universe. If the PQ symmetry breaking scale associated with the axion is below
the inflationary reheating temperature, axion strings and domain walls populate
the universe. Most of these strings and walls decay away into axion dark
matter, but a small subset of the walls will be self-enclosed surfaces that are
not attached to any strings. These enclosed walls can collapse in on
themselves, compressing a large amount of energy into a small volume and
potentially forming primordial black holes (PBHs). We study the number density
and dynamics of these self-enclosed walls, taking into account their size
distribution, Hubble expansion, asphericities, and all stages of domain wall
dynamics using a combination of semi-analytic and numerical approaches. We find
that axion models with a high axion decay constant $f_a$, such as those of
interest in early matter-dominated cosmologies, yield a PBH abundance
potentially observable by future gravitational lensing surveys. We note that
the formalism developed here is also useful for predicting relic PBH abundances
in other models that exhibit unstable domain walls.

current best direct limits on the electron neutrino mass, derived from nuclei

Such a device would also allow for probing heavy Majorana neutrino and

] | Weak vector boson fusion provides a unique channel to directly probe the mechanism of electroweak symmetry breaking at hadron colliders. We present a method that allows to calculate total cross sections to next-to-next-to-leading order (NNLO) in QCD for an arbitrary V* V* -> X process, the so-called structure function approach. By discussing the case of Higgs production in detail, we estimate several classes of previously neglected contributions and we argue that such method is accurate at a precision level well above the typical residual scale and PDF uncertainties at NNLO. Predictions for cross sections at the Tevatron and the LHC are presented for a variety of cases: the Standard Model Higgs (including anomalous couplings), neutral and charged scalars in extended Higgs sectors and (fermiophobic) vector resonance production.

Searches by Super-Kamiokande have resulted in stringent limits on the GUT

observational consequence of GUTs is the formation of a cosmic string network

non-trivial complementarity between the observation of proton decay and

Pati-Salam intermediate symmetry, or standard $SU(5)\times U(1)$, may be
favoured if a large separation of energy scales associated with proton decay
and cosmic strings is indicated. We note that recent results by the NANOGrav
experiment have been interpreted as evidence for cosmic strings at a scale
$\sim 10^{14}$ GeV. This would strongly point towards the existence of GUTs,

key feature here is the fact that we do not allow the dihedral groups to be
broken in an arbitrary way, but in all cases some
(non-trivial) subgroup has to be preserved. In this way we arrive at only
five possible (Dirac) mass matrix structures which can arise, if we require
that the matrix has to have a non-vanishing determinant and that at least two
of the three generations of left-handed (conjugate) fermions are placed into an
irreducible two-dimensional representation of the flavor group. We show that
there is no difference between the mass matrix structures for single- and
double-valued dihedral groups. Furthermore, we comment on possible forms of
Majorana mass matrices. As a first application we find a way to express the
Cabibbo angle, i.e. the CKM matrix element |V_{us}|, in terms of group theory
quantities only, the group index n, the representation index j and the index
m_{u,d} of the different preserved subgroups in the up and down quark sector:
|V_{us}|=|cos(pi(m_{u}-m_{d})j/n)| which is |cos(3 pi/7)| = 0.2225 for n=7,
j=1, m_{u}=3 and m_{d}=0. We prove that two successful models which lead to
maximal atmospheric mixing and vanishing theta_{13} in the lepton sector are
based on the fact that the flavor symmetry is broken in the charged lepton,
Dirac neutrino and Majorana neutrino sector down to different preserved
subgroups whose mismatch results in the prediction of these mixing angles. This
also demonstrates the power of preserved subgroups in connection with the
prediction of mixing angles in the quark as well as in the lepton sector.

are derived in the Bethe-Salpeter formalism, in which the involved one-loop
integrals are evaluated analytically. Intriguingly, from both the
quark-antiquark content and the gluonic content of $\eta^{(\prime)}$, the
relativistic corrections make significant contributions to the decay rates of
$h_{c}\rightarrow\gamma\eta^{(\prime)}$. By comparison with the leading-order
contributions from the quark-antiquark content (one-loop level), the ones from
the gluonic content (tree level) are also important, which is compatible with
the conclusion obtained without relativistic corrections. Usually, for $\eta$
production processes, the predicted branching ratios are sensitive to the angle
of $\eta-\eta^{\prime}$ mixing. As an illustration, using the
Feldmann-Kroll-Stech result about the mixing angle
$\phi=39.3^{\circ}\pm1.0^{\circ}$ as input, we find that the predicted ratio
$R_{h_{c}}=\mathcal{B}(h_{c}\rightarrow\gamma\eta)/\mathcal{B}(h_{c}\rightarrow\gamma\eta^{\prime})$
is much smaller than the experiment measurement. While, with
$\phi=33.5^{\circ}\pm0.9^{\circ}$ extracted from the asymptotic limit of the
$\gamma^{\ast}\gamma-\eta^{\prime}$ transition form factor, we obtain
$R_{h_{c}}=30.3\%$ in consistent with $R_{h_{c}}^{exp}=(30.7\pm11.3\pm8.7)\%$.
As a cross-check, the mixing angle $\phi=33.8^{\circ}\pm2.5^{\circ}$ is
extracted by employing the ratio $R_{h_{c}}$, and a brief discussion on the

We find that the first direct measurement of the $^{240}$Pu IBD yield can be performed at plutonium-burning fast reactors, while a suite of correlated measurements at multiple reactor types can achieve precision in direct $^{238}$U, $^{239}$Pu, and $^{241}$Pu yield knowledge that meets or exceeds that of current theoretical predictions. |

strong nonperturbative evolution pattern which they reveal in actual lattice
gauge calculations. We argue that quasi-PDFs may be treated as hybrids of PDFs
and the rest-frame momentum distributions of partons. The latter is also
responsible for the transverse momentum dependence of TMDs. The resulting
convolution structure of quasi-PDFs necessitates using large probing momenta
$p_3 \gtrsim 3$ GeV to get reasonably close to the PDF limit. To deconvolute
the rest-frame distribution effects, we propose to use a method based directly
on the coordinate representation. We treat matrix elements $M(z_3,p_3)$ as
distributions ${\cal M} (\nu, z_3^2)$ depending on the Ioffe-time $\nu = p_3
z_3$ and the distance parameter $z_3^2$. The rest-frame spatial distribution is
given by ${\cal M} (0, z_3^2)$. Using the reduced Ioffe function ${\mathfrak M}
(\nu, z_3^2) \equiv {\cal M} (\nu, z_3^2)/ {\cal M} (0, z_3^2)$ we divide out
the rest frame effects,including the notorious link renormalization factors.
The $\nu$-dependence remains intact and determines the shape of PDFs in the
small $z_3$ region. The residual $z_3^2$ dependence of the ${\mathfrak M} (\nu,
z_3^2)$ is governed by perturbative evolution. The Fourier transform of ${\cal
M} (\nu, z_3^2)$ produces pseudo-PDFs ${\cal P}(x, z_3^2)$ that generalize the
light-front PDFs onto spacelike intervals. On the basis of these findings we
propose a new method for extraction of PDFs from lattice calculations.

Comparison with the NMSSM | 49 pages, 6 figures. Improved text, updated samples and figures.
Conclusions unchanged. To appear in JHEP | null | 10.1007/JHEP06(2016)034 | null | hep-ph hep-ex | http://arxiv.org/licenses/nonexclusive-distrib/1.0/ | The Complex singlet extension of the Standard Model (CxSM) is the simplest
extension that provides scenarios for Higgs pair production with different
masses. The model has two interesting phases: the dark matter phase, with a
Standard Model-like Higgs boson, a new scalar and a dark matter candidate; and
the broken phase, with all three neutral scalars mixing. In the latter phase
Higgs decays into a pair of two different Higgs bosons are possible. In this
study we analyse Higgs-to-Higgs decays in the framework of singlet extensions
of the Standard Model (SM), with focus on the CxSM. After demonstrating that
scenarios with large rates for such chain decays are possible we perform a
comparison between the NMSSM and the CxSM. We find that, based on
Higgs-to-Higgs decays, the only possibility to distinguish the two models at
the LHC run 2 is through final states with two different scalars. This
conclusion builds a strong case for searches for final states with two
different scalars at the LHC run 2. Finally, we propose a set of benchmark
points for the real and complex singlet extensions to be tested at the LHC run
2. They have been chosen such that the discovery prospects of the involved
scalars are maximised and they fulfil the dark matter constraints. Furthermore,
for some of the points the theory is stable up to high energy scales. For the

] | The Complex singlet extension of the Standard Model (CxSM) is the simplest extension that provides scenarios for Higgs pair production with different masses. The model has two interesting phases: the dark matter phase, with a Standard Model-like Higgs boson, a new scalar and a dark matter candidate; and the broken phase, with all three neutral scalars mixing. In the latter phase Higgs decays into a pair of two different Higgs bosons are possible. In this study we analyse Higgs-to-Higgs decays in the framework of singlet extensions of the Standard Model (SM), with focus on the CxSM. After demonstrating that scenarios with large rates for such chain decays are possible we perform a comparison between the NMSSM and the CxSM. We find that, based on Higgs-to-Higgs decays, the only possibility to distinguish the two models at the LHC run 2 is through final states with two different scalars. This conclusion builds a strong case for searches for final states with two different scalars at the LHC run 2. Finally, we propose a set of benchmark points for the real and complex singlet extensions to be tested at the LHC run 2. They have been chosen such that the discovery prospects of the involved scalars are maximised and they fulfil the dark matter constraints. Furthermore, for some of the points the theory is stable up to high energy scales. For the computation of the decay widths and branching ratios we developed the Fortran code, sHDECAY, which is based on the implementation of the real and complex singlet extensions of the SM in HDECAY. |

given as the homogeneous part of the general solution (having free parameters)
to the Wess-Zumino (WZ) anomaly equation and hence are not determined by the
anomaly, in sharp contrast to the Harvey-Hill-Hill (HHH) action where the
relevant vertex is claimed to be uniquely determined by the anomaly. We show
that, even in the framework that HHH was based on, the omega-Z-gamma vertex is
actually not determined by the anomaly but by the homogeneous (anomaly-free)
part of the general solution to the WZ anomaly equation having free parameters
in the same way as in the HLS formulation: The HHH action is just a particular
choice of the free parameters in the general solution. We further show that the
omega-Z-gamma vertex related to the neutrino (nu) - nucleon (N) scattering
cross section sigma(nu N -> nu N (N')gamma) is determined not by the anomaly
but by the anomaly-free part of the general solution having free parameters.
Nevertheless we find that the cross section sigma(nu N -> nu N(N')gamma) is
related through the Ward-Takahashi identity to Gamma(omega -> pi^0 gamma) which
has the same parameter-dependence as that of sigma(nu N -> nu N(N')gamma) and
hence the ratio sigma(nu N -> nu N(N')gamma)/Gamma(omega -> pi^0 gamma) is
fixed independently of these free parameters. Other set of the free parameters
of the general solution can be fixed to make the best fit of the omega -> pi^0
l^+ l^- process, which substantially differs from the HHH action. This gives a

they represent a pure $\Delta C=1$ & $\Delta Q=0$ current interaction whereas
neutral $D$ mesons can also communicate via their anti-hadron. Standard Model
(SM) contributions to BR$(D\to X_u l^+ l^-)$ come primarily from long distance
dynamics, which overshadow short distance contributions by several orders of
magnitude; still they fall much below the present upper experimental bounds.

asymmetries $A^c_{FB}$, $A^c_{CP}$ and $A^{CP}_{FB}$ in these New Physics
models can be enhanced over SM predictions, as they arise purely from short
distance dynamics; this can occur in particular for $A^c_{FB}$ and
$A^{CP}_{FB}$ which get enhanced by orders of magnitudes. Even such
enhancements hardly reach absolute sizes for observable experimental effects
for $A^c_{FB}$ and $A^c_{CP}$. However LHT contributions to $A^{CP}_{FB}$ could
be measured in experiments like the LHCb and the SuperB Collaboration. These
results lead us to draw further conclusions on FCNCs within LHT-like models
through some simple scaling arguments that encapsulate the essence of flavour
dynamics in and beyond the Standard Model.

Standard Model (SM) contributions to BR$(D\to X_u l^+ l^-)$ come primarily from long distance dynamics, which overshadow short distance contributions by several orders of magnitude; still they fall much below the present upper experimental bounds. Even the SM contributions to $A^c_{FB}$, $A^c_{CP}$ and $A^{CP}_{FB}$ are tiny, quite unlike in beauty hadrons. The branching ratios are hardly dented by contributions from the Littlest Higgs Models with T parity (LHT) even in the short distance regime, let alone in the SM long distances dynamics.

to strongly prefer a solution with new physics in semi-leptonic Wilson

suited to UV-complete interpretations, is now favoured with respect to a muonic
contribution to C_9 only. An even better fit is obtained by allowing an
additional LFU shift in C_9. Such a shift can be renormalization-group induced
from four-fermion operators above the electroweak scale, in particular from
semi-tauonic operators, able to account for the potential discrepancies in b ->
c transitions. This scenario is naturally realized in the simplified U_1

scattering amplitudes, based on multivariate polynomial division, which we have
recently presented. This technique yields the complete integrand decomposition
for arbitrary amplitudes, regardless of the number of loops. It allows for the
determination of the residue at any multiparticle cut, whose knowledge is a
mandatory prerequisite for applying the integrand-reduction procedure. By using
the division modulo Groebner basis, we can derive a simple integrand recurrence
relation that generates the multiparticle pole decomposition for integrands of
arbitrary multiloop amplitudes. We apply the new reduction algorithm to the
two-loop planar and nonplanar diagrams contributing to the five-point
scattering amplitudes in N=4 super Yang-Mills and N=8 supergravity in four
dimensions, whose numerator functions contain up to rank-two terms in the
integration momenta. We determine all polynomial residues parametrizing the
cuts of the corresponding topologies and subtopologies. We obtain the integral
basis for the decomposition of each diagram from the polynomial form of the
residues. Our approach is well suited for a seminumerical implementation, and
its general mathematical properties provide an effective algorithm for the
generalization of the integrand-reduction method to all orders in perturbation
theory.

diagram together with the location of critical end point (CEP) has been
obtained in $\mu$, and $T$ plane in both the models PQMVT and PQM. The PQMVT
model analysis has been compared with the calculations in PQM model in order to
bring out the effect of fermionic vacuum term on the physical observables. We
notice that the critical end point (CEP) which is located near the temperature

chemical potential axis at ($\mu_{CEP}=294.7$, $T_{CEP}=84.0$ MeV) in the PQMVT

second order transition in the chiral limit of massless quarks, the crossover
occurring at $\mu$ = 0 in PQMVT model for the realistic case of explicitly
broken chiral symmetry, has been identified as quite a soft and smooth
transition. We have presented and compared the results for temperature
