boson $ W'$, which can induce the charged-current (CC) non-standard neutrino

model-independent fashion via considering the $ W'$ contributions to the lepton
flavor violating (LFV) decays $\ell_{i}\rightarrow \ell_{j}\gamma$, the pure
leptonic flavor conservation (FC) decays $\ell_{i}\rightarrow
\ell_{j}\nu_{i}\bar{\nu_{j}}$, leptonic decays of charged pion meson,
semileptonic $\tau$ decays, and superallowed $\beta$ decays. We find that the
constraints on the pure leptonic CC NSI are generally stronger than the ones
for the CC NSI with first generation quarks. The most stringent constraints on
the CC NSI arise from the LFV decay $\mu \rightarrow e\gamma$.

are consistent with the $\tau$-lepton decay origin. However, these events are
in contradiction with the standard neutrino-matter interaction models as well

possibility of using sterile neutrino hypothesis to explain the ANITA anomalous
events. The diffuse flux of the sterile neutrinos is less constrained by the
IceCube and AUGER experiments due to the small active-sterile mixing
suppression. The quantum decoherence effect should be included for describing
the neutrino flux propagating in the Earth matter, because the interactions
between neutrinos and the Earth matter are very strong at the EeV scale. After
several experimental approximations, we show that the ANITA anomaly itself is
able to be explained by the sterile neutrino origin, but we also predict that
the IceCube observatory should have more events than ANITA. It makes the
sterile neutrino origin very unlikely to account for both of them
simultaneously. A more solid conclusion can be drawn by the dedicated ANITA

the charm-quark loop to the amplitude of the $B_s\to \gamma\,\gamma$ decay.
This contribution involves the $B$-meson three-particle Bethe-Salpeter
amplitude, $\langle 0|\bar s(y)G_{\mu\nu}(x)b(0)|\bar B_s(p)\rangle$, for which
we take into account constraints from analyticity and continuity. The
charming-loop contribution of interest may be described as a correction to the
Wilson coefficient $C_{7\gamma}$, $C_{7\gamma}\to C_{7\gamma}(1+\delta
C_{7\gamma})$. We calculate an explicit dependence of $\delta C_{7\gamma}$ on
the parameter $\lambda_{B_s}$. Taking into account all theoretical
uncertainties, $\delta C_{7\gamma}$ may be predicted with better than 10\%
accuracy for any given value of $\lambda_{B_s}$. For our benchmark point
$\lambda_{B_s}=0.45$ GeV, we obtain $\delta C_{7\gamma}=0.045\pm 0.004$.
Presently, $\lambda_{B_s}$ is not known with high accuracy, but its value is
expected to lie in the range $0.3\le \lambda_{B_s}({\rm GeV})\le 0.6$. The
corresponding range of $\delta C_{7\gamma}$ is found to be $0.02\le \delta

naturally the problem of rapid proton decay, that generically arises in SUSY
unification. Seeking for a natural solution to this second problem, it is noted
that SUSY GUTS, including SUSY SO(10) and E_6, can at best accommodate
proton-stability by a suitable choice of the Higgs-multiplets and discrete
symmetries, but not really explain it, because they do not possess the desired
symmetries to suppress both d=4 and d=5 proton-decay operators. By contrast,
following a recent work, I argue that a class of string-solutions, possessing
three families, does possess the desired symmetries, which naturally safeguard
proton-stability from all potential dangers. They also permit neutrinos to have
desired light masses. This shows that, believing in supersymmetry, superstring
is needed just to understand why the proton is so stable.

Considering a Chern-Simons coupling between the gauge bosons and the

produced and its inverse decay leaves an imprint in the primordial scalar and
tensor perturbations. We study the correlation functions of these perturbations
and derive the updated constraints on the parameter space from CMB observables.

the Universe for TeV gamma-rays emitted from distant sources such as AGNs. With
the value of CIB radiation reported by the CIBER experiment, through the
reaction of such TeV gamma-rays with the CIB photons, the TeV gamma-rays should
be significantly attenuated during propagation, which would lead to energy
spectra in disagreement with current observations of TeV gamma ray sources. In
this article, we discuss a possible resolution of this tension between the TeV
gamma-ray observations and the CIB data in terms of axion [or Axion-Like

anomaly-induced photon-axion mixing. We find a region in the parameter space of

only like O(s). Since the individual contributions to these amplitudes do grow
like O(s^5), the required cancellations between these individual contributions
result from intricate relationships between the masses of these states and
their couplings. Here we report the explicit form of these sum-rule
relationships which ensure the necessary cancellations for elastic scattering
of spin-2 Kaluza Klein states in a Randall-Sundrum model. We consider an
Anti-de-Sitter space of arbitrary curvature, including the special case of a

demonstrate that the cancellations at O(s^5) and O(s^4) are generic for a

regime where the relaxion is subject to large fluctuations during inflation.
The stochastic dynamics of the relaxion is described by means of the
Fokker-Planck formalism. We derive a new stopping condition for the relaxion
taking into account transitions between the neighboring local minima of its
potential. Relaxion fluctuations have important consequences even in the
"classical-beats-quantum" regime. We determine that for a large Hubble
parameter during inflation, the random walk prevents the relaxion from getting
trapped at the first minimum. The relaxion stops much further away, where the
potential is less shallow. Interestingly, this essentially jeopardises the
"runaway relaxion" threat from finite-density effects, restoring most of the
relaxion parameter space. We also explore the "quantum-beats-classical" regime,
opening large new regions of parameter space. We investigate the consequences
for both the QCD and the non-QCD relaxion. The misalignment of the relaxion due
to fluctuations around its local minimum opens new phenomenological
opportunities.

is helicity suppressed. Here, we point out that the underlying mechanism is a
subtle combination of two distinct effects, and we present a comprehensive
analysis of how the suppression can be partially or fully lifted by the
internal bremsstrahlung of an additional boson in the final state. As a
concrete illustration, we compute analytically the full amplitudes and
annihilation rates of supersymmetric neutralinos to final states that contain
any combination of two standard model fermions, plus one electroweak gauge
boson or one of the five physical Higgs bosons that appear in the minimal
supersymmetric standard model. We classify the various ways in which these
three-body rates can be large compared to the two-body rates, identifying cases
that have not been pointed out before. In our analysis, we put special emphasis
on how to avoid the double counting of identical kinematic situations that
appear for two-body and three-body final states, in particular on how to
correctly treat differential rates and the spectrum of the resulting stable
particles that is relevant for indirect dark matter searches. We find that both
the total annihilation rates and the yields can be significantly enhanced when
taking into account the corrections computed here, in particular for models

] | It is well known that the annihilation of Majorana dark matter into fermions is helicity suppressed. Here, we point out that the underlying mechanism is a subtle combination of two distinct effects, and we present a comprehensive analysis of how the suppression can be partially or fully lifted by the internal bremsstrahlung of an additional boson in the final state. As a concrete illustration, we compute analytically the full amplitudes and annihilation rates of supersymmetric neutralinos to final states that contain any combination of two standard model fermions, plus one electroweak gauge boson or one of the five physical Higgs bosons that appear in the minimal supersymmetric standard model. We classify the various ways in which these three-body rates can be large compared to the two-body rates, identifying cases that have not been pointed out before. In our analysis, we put special emphasis on how to avoid the double counting of identical kinematic situations that appear for two-body and three-body final states, in particular on how to correctly treat differential rates and the spectrum of the resulting stable particles that is relevant for indirect dark matter searches. We find that both the total annihilation rates and the yields can be significantly enhanced when taking into account the corrections computed here, in particular for models with somewhat small annihilation rates at tree-level which otherwise would not be testable with indirect dark matter searches. Even more importantly, however, we find that the resulting annihilation spectra of positrons, neutrinos, gamma-rays and antiprotons differ in general substantially from the model-independent spectra that are commonly adopted, for these final states, when constraining particle dark matter with indirect detection experiments. |

masses, there are cases when the Majorana mass terms for the right-handed
neutrinos are not allowed due to symmetry. In that case, if neutrino-specific
Higgs doublet is introduced, neutrinos become Dirac particles and their small
masses can be explained by its small VEV. We show that the same symmetry, which
we assume a global $U(1)_X$, can also be used to explain the stability of dark
matter. In our model, a new singlet scalar breaks the global symmetry
spontaneously down to a discrete $Z_2$ symmetry. The dark matter particle,
lightest $Z_2$-odd fermion, is stabilized. We discuss the phenomenology of dark
matter: relic density, direct detection, and indirect detection. We find that
the relic density can be explained by a novel Goldstone boson channel or by
resonance channel. In the most region of parameter space considered, the direct
detections is suppressed well below the current experimental bound. Our model
can be further tested in indirect detection experiments such as FermiLAT gamma
ray searches or neutrinoless double beta decay experiments.

topological charge distribution and axion properties are highly sensitive to
the critical behavior of the chiral phase transition. In particular, the
topological susceptibility and the axion mass follow the response of the chiral
condensate to temperature and chemical potential, showing that both quantities
decrease monotonically with the increment of temperature and/or chemical
potential. However, it is important to note that the normalized fourth cumulant
behaves differently depending on the temperature. At low temperatures, it is a
non-monotonic function of the chemical potential, while at high temperatures,
it monotonically decreases. Additionally, its value invariably approaches the
asymptotic value of $b_2^{\text {inst }}=-1/12$, predicted by the dilute
instanton gas model. We also observe that with the increase in chemical
potential at relatively low temperatures, the axion self-coupling constant
exhibits a sharp peak around the critical point, which can even be more than
twice its vacuum value. After that, the self-coupling drops sharply to a much
lower value than its vacuum value, eventually approaching zero in the high
chemical potential limit. The finding that the axion self-coupling constant is
significantly enhanced in high-density environments near the chiral phase
transition could lead to the creation or enhancement of an axion Bose-Einstein
condensate in compact astrophysical objects.

opacity. In deriving the result we make full use of the large formation time
assumption, which results in a significant reduction of the number of diagrams
contributing to the small separation distance correction. An asymptotic
analysis of our small separation distance correction term finds that the
correction dominates at large $\sim 100$ GeV parent parton energies; scales
like $L$ with the size of the system for small $L$, but like $L^0$ at larger
$L$; and breaks color triviality. An extensive numerical investigation of the
correction term confirms the aforementioned analytic findings, reveals that the
correction term does not go to zero for large $L$, finds that the correction is
sensitive to the mass of the parent parton, and shows a crucial dependence of
the energy loss on a proper treatment of the physics of separation distances on
the order of the Debye screening length. However, an examination of the large
formation time approximation shows that it is violated for much of the phase
space of the emitted radiation, implying a need to investigate the sensitivity
of jet quenching results from relaxing this approximation. Our result
constitutes an important step toward understanding partonic energy loss in
small colliding systems.

QCD phase diagram is under debate. While it is possible to predict its position
by using effective models specifically built to reproduce some of the features
of the underlying theory (QCD), the quality of the predictions (\textit{e.g.},
the CEP position) obtained by such effective models, depends on whether solving
the model equations constitute a well- or ill-posed inverse problem.
Considering these predictions as being inverse problems provides tools to
evaluate if the problem is ill-conditioned, meaning that infinitesimal
variations of the inputs of the model can cause comparatively large variations
of the predictions. If it is ill-conditioned, it has major consequences because
of finite variations that could come from experimental and/or theoretical
errors.
In the following, we shall apply such a reasoning on the predictions of a
particular Nambu--Jona-Lasinio model within the mean field + ring
approximations, with special attention to the prediction of the chiral CEP
position in the $(T-\mu)$ plane. We find that the problem is ill-conditioned
(\idest very sensitive to input variations) for the $T$-coordinate of the CEP,
whereas, it is well-posed for the $\mu$-coordinate of the CEP. As a
consequence, when the chiral condensate varies in a $10$ MeV range, $\mu_{CEP}$
varies far less.
As an illustration to understand how problematic this could be, we show that
the main consequence when taking into account finite variation of the inputs,
is that the existence of the CEP itself cannot be predicted anymore: for a
deviation as low as 0.6 \% with respect to vacuum phenomenology (well within
the estimation of the first correction to the ring approximation) the CEP may
or may not exist.

Considering these predictions as being inverse problems provides tools to evaluate if the problem is ill-conditioned, meaning that infinitesimal variations of the inputs of the model can cause comparatively large variations of the predictions. If it is ill-conditioned, it has major consequences because of finite variations that could come from experimental and/or theoretical errors. In the following, we shall apply such a reasoning on the predictions of a particular Nambu--Jona-Lasinio model within the mean field + ring approximations, with special attention to the prediction of the chiral CEP position in the $(T-\mu)$ plane. We find that the problem is ill-conditioned (\idest very sensitive to input variations) for the $T$-coordinate of the CEP, whereas, it is well-posed for the $\mu$-coordinate of the CEP. As a consequence, when the chiral condensate varies in a $10$ MeV range, $\mu_{CEP}$ varies far less. As an illustration to understand how problematic this could be, we show that the main consequence when taking into account finite variation of the inputs, is that the existence of the CEP itself cannot be predicted anymore: for a deviation as low as 0.6 \% with respect to vacuum phenomenology (well within the estimation of the first correction to the ring approximation) the CEP may or may not exist. |

us to interpret an excess of events observed recently in the range of 1.9 TeV

boson in LRSMs with spontaneous D parity breaking. Moreover, the reduced
right-handed gauge coupling also strongly suppresses the non-standard

as the amplitude of low energy lepton flavour violating processes. In a

both sets of observables provide stringent and complimentary bounds which make

to small-scale structure problems faced by the collision-less cold dark matter.
This framework incorporates self-interactions among dark matter particles,
typically mediated by a particle with a MeV-scale mass. Recent evidences of
nano-Hertz gravitational waves from pulsar timing arrays (PTAs) such as
NANOGrav, CPTA, EPTA, and PPTA suggest the occurrence of a first-order phase
transition (FOPT) at a MeV-scale temperature. Considering the close proximity
between these two scales, we propose that the mediator mass in the SIDM model
originates from the spontaneous breaking of a $U(1)'$ symmetry, which is driven
by the FOPT indicated by PTA data. Consequently, the alignment of these two
scales is believed to be deeply connected by the same underlying physics. By
extensively exploring the parameter space, remarkably, we find that the
parameter space favored by SIDM just provides an explanation for the PTA data.

] | The self-interacting dark matter (SIDM) paradigm offers a potential solution to small-scale structure problems faced by the collision-less cold dark matter. This framework incorporates self-interactions among dark matter particles, typically mediated by a particle with a MeV-scale mass. Recent evidences of nano-Hertz gravitational waves from pulsar timing arrays (PTAs) such as NANOGrav, CPTA, EPTA, and PPTA suggest the occurrence of a first-order phase transition (FOPT) at a MeV-scale temperature. Considering the close proximity between these two scales, we propose that the mediator mass in the SIDM model originates from the spontaneous breaking of a $U(1)'$ symmetry, which is driven by the FOPT indicated by PTA data. Consequently, the alignment of these two scales is believed to be deeply connected by the same underlying physics. By extensively exploring the parameter space, remarkably, we find that the parameter space favored by SIDM just provides an explanation for the PTA data. |

$1.5\ 10^{-12}$ at $2\sigma$, for a coupling to $B,\ L,\ B-L,\ B+L$ or $3B+L$;
or, for a coupling to isospin, $|\alpha_g|<8.4\ 10^{-12}$. This is a gain in
sensitivity $\simeq 3$ for a coupling to $B$, to $\approx$ 15 in the other
cases, including $B-L$ as suggested by grand unification.
This requires paying attention to the definition of $\bar\alpha_g$. A force
coupled to $L$ (or $B-L$) would act effectively on protons (or neutrons) only,
its relative intensity being reduced from $\alpha_g$ to about
$\bar\alpha_g=\alpha_g/4$ for an average nucleon. It is thus convenient to view
such forces as acting on $\bar Q =B,\ 2L,\ 2(B-L),2(B+L)/3$ or $2(3B+L)/7$,
leading to $\bar\alpha_g=\alpha_g\times(1,1/4,1/4,9/4$ or $49/4$). The
sensitivity for a coupling to $L$ or $B-L$ is better than for $B$ by two orders
of magnitude (as $\Delta (2L/A_r)\simeq 144\ \Delta (B/A_r)$ for Ti-Pt); and
about 3 or 7 times better than for $B+L$ or $3B+L$.
A coupling to $(\epsilon_BB+\epsilon_{Q_{el}}Q_{el})e$ should verify
$|\epsilon_B|<5\ 10^{-24}$; similarly $|\epsilon_L|$ or $|\epsilon_{B-L}|<.9\
10^{-24}$, $|\epsilon_{B+L}|<.5\ 10^{-24},|\epsilon_{3B+L}|<.32\ 10^{-24}$ and
$|\epsilon_{B-2L}|<2.6\ 10^{-24}$, implying a new interaction weaker than
electromagnetism by more than $10^{46}$ to $10^{48}$. The resulting hierarchy
between couplings, typically by $>10^{24}$, may be related within supersymmetry
with a large hierarchy in energy scales by $>10^{12}$. This points to a
$\sqrt\xi\approx 10^{16}$ GeV scale, associated with a huge vacuum energy
density that may be responsible for the inflation of the early Universe.

originating from Regge theory, significantly contributes to the behavior of the
total and differential cross sections; the same holds for the description of
the proton structure function in deep inelastic scattering. So far, the Odderon
as the odd-parity partner of the Pomeron has only been observed in differences
between differential cross sections for p p and p pbar scattering at low t. We
investigate exclusive photoproduction of two neutral pion final states at e+e-
colliders; in this reaction, Pomeron exchange is forbidden by C-parity
conservation. The Odderon is described by an effective propagator. The Odderon
contribution produces significant modifications of the differential cross
sections. We investigate the effects of variation of trajectory and coupling
parameters. We provide numerical results for total and differential cross
sections for OPAL, BaBar, TESLA and the TESLA photon collider including
detector cuts.

] | In diffractive hadronic scattering processes, the Pomeron trajectory, originating from Regge theory, significantly contributes to the behavior of the total and differential cross sections; the same holds for the description of the proton structure function in deep inelastic scattering. So far, the Odderon as the odd-parity partner of the Pomeron has only been observed in differences between differential cross sections for p p and p pbar scattering at low t. We investigate exclusive photoproduction of two neutral pion final states at e+e- colliders; in this reaction, Pomeron exchange is forbidden by C-parity conservation. The Odderon is described by an effective propagator. The Odderon contribution produces significant modifications of the differential cross sections. We investigate the effects of variation of trajectory and coupling parameters. We provide numerical results for total and differential cross sections for OPAL, BaBar, TESLA and the TESLA photon collider including detector cuts. |

neutrino mixing in matter are discussed. Rigorous analytical solutions are

eigenvalue whose eigenfunction does not take part in the oscillation process,
can be easily calculated to higher precision. We find, the oscillation
amplitude is dominated by vacuum mixing and is smaller than 1 for smaller A
resonance, but it is not in the larger A. This is characteristic for the three
flavor oscillations, but do not exist in two flavor.

reentering the horizon. This gives rise to monopole-antimonopole pairs
connected by string segments and the string loop formation essentially ceases.
As a consequence, the lower frequency portion of the gravitational wave
spectrum is suppressed relative to the no-inflation case with stable strings,
which evades the stringent PPTA bound on the dimensionless string tension
$G\mu$. We display the modified spectrum, accessible in the ongoing and future

triquark-diquark one where the two quarks of the diquark are coupled to spin
zero and anti-triplet representations of flavor and color, and the triquark has
spin one-half and belongs to the triplet representation of color and to
anti-sextet of flavor. To ensure total antisymmetry under the interchange of
identical particles, triquark and diquark are in relative p-wave. Using this

Finally the calculation of the masses has been extended to some charmed

] | We study the stability of the different quark substructures in a quark cluster approach to pentaquark states considering the color-magnetic spin-spin interactions between quarks. The most likely configuration is found to be a triquark-diquark one where the two quarks of the diquark are coupled to spin zero and anti-triplet representations of flavor and color, and the triquark has spin one-half and belongs to the triplet representation of color and to anti-sextet of flavor. To ensure total antisymmetry under the interchange of identical particles, triquark and diquark are in relative p-wave. Using this configuration we estimate the masses and magnetic moments of pentaquarks. Finally the calculation of the masses has been extended to some charmed pentaquarks. |
