parameterize the effects of new physics in these decays by two parameters: r_K

these parameters can be extracted from future data. This analysis offers some
insight in a possible violation of a "golden relation" between K \to \pi \nu

some time ago. We illustrate these ideas by considering a general class of
supersymmetric models. We find that in the "constrained" MSSM, in which
\theta_K=0, the measurements of Br(K^+ \to \pi^+ \nu \bar \nu) and Br(K_L \to
\pi^0 \nu \bar \nu) directly determine the angle \beta. Moreover, the "golden
relation" remains unaffected. On the other hand, in general SUSY models with
unbroken R-parity the present experimental constraints still allow for
substantial deviations from r_K=1 and \theta_K=0. Typically 0.5 < r_K < 1.3 and
-25^0 < \theta_K < 25^0. Consequently, in these models the violation of the
"golden relation" is possible and values for Br(K^+ \to \pi^+ \nu \bar \nu) and
Br(K_L \to \pi^0 \nu \bar \nu) departing from the SM expectations by factors
2-3 cannot be excluded. Our conclusions differ in certain aspects from the ones
reached in previous analyses. In particular, we stress the possible importance
of left-right flavour-violating mass insertions that were not considered
before.

self-organized criticality. In this regard, we note that if the strange quark
were lighter, the QCD phase transition could have been first order, possibly
exhibiting quantum critical points at zero temperature as a function of the
Higgs vacuum expectation value $v_h$ smaller than (but near) the weak scale. We
show that these quantum critical points allow a dynamical selection of the
observed weak scale, via quantum-dominated stochastic evolutions of the value
of $v_h$ during eternal inflation. Although the values of $v_h$ in different
Hubble patches are described by a probability distribution in the multiverse,
inflationary quantum dynamics ensures that the peak of the distribution evolves
toward critical points (self-organized criticality), driven mainly by the
largest Hubble expansion rate there -- the Hubble selection of the universe. To
this end, we first explore the quantum critical points of the three-flavor QCD
linear sigma model, parametrized by $v_h$ at zero temperature, and we present a
relaxion model for the weak scale. Among the patches that have reached
reheating, it results in a sharp probability distribution of $v_h$ near the
observed weak scale, which is critical not to the crossover at $v_h=0$ but to
the sharp transition at ${\sim}\Lambda_{\rm QCD}$.

element $|V_{\rm cb}|$ by using the three-loop perturbative QCD corrections for
the $B\to D^{\ast}$ semi-leptonic decay. The decay width of $B\to D^{\ast}$
semi-leptonic decay can be factorized as perturbatively calculable
short-distance part and the non-perturbative but universal long-distance part.
We adopt the principle of maximum conformality (PMC) single-scale setting
approach to deal with the perturbative series so as to achieve a precise
fixed-order prediction for the short-distance parameter $\eta_{A}$. By applying
the PMC, an overall effective $\alpha_s$ value is achieved by recursively using
the renormalization group equation, which inversely results in a precise
scale-invariant pQCD series. Such scale-invariant series also provides a
reliable basis for predicting the contributions from uncalculated perturbative
terms. We then obtain $\eta_{A}=0.9225^{+0.0117}_{-0.0168}$, where the error is
the squared average of those from $\Delta\alpha_{s}(M_Z)=\pm0.0010$ and the
uncertainties caused by the uncalculated higher-order perturbative terms. By
using the data of $B\to D^{\ast}\ell\bar{\nu}_{\ell}$, we finally obtain
$|V_{\rm cb}|_{\rm PMC} =(40.60^{+0.53}_{-0.57})\times10^{-3}$, which is
consistent with the PDG value within errors.

momentum dependent and also $SU(3)$ breaking effects on these decays to explain

observed baryon-antibaryon asymmetry of the Universe (BAU) within a generalized
minimal lepton flavour violation (MLFV) framework where we allow for CP
violation both at low and high energies. The generation of BAU is obtained
through radiative resonant leptogenesis (RRL), where starting with three
exactly degenerate right-handed neutrinos at Lambda_GUT, we demonstrate
explicitly within the SM and the MSSM that the splittings between their masses
at the see-saw scale M_nu, generated by renormalization group effects, are
sufficient for a successful leptogenesis for M_nu even as low as 10^6 GeV. The
inclusion of flavour effects plays an important role in this result and can
lead to the observed BAU even in the absence of CP violation beyond the PMNS
phases. The absence of a stringent lower bound on M_nu in this type of
leptogenesis allows to easily satisfy present and near future upper bounds on
mu -> e gamma and other charged lepton flavour violating (LFV) processes even
for Lambda_LFV = O(1 TeV). We find, that the MLFV framework in the presence of
heavy right-handed neutrinos and leptogenesis is not as predictive as MFV in
the quark sector and point out that without a specific MLFV model, there is a
rich spectrum of possibilities for charged LFV processes and for their
correlation with low energy neutrino physics and the LHC physics, even if the
constraint from the observed BAU is taken into account. While certain
qualitative features of our analysis confirm findings of Cirigliano et al., at
the quantitative level we find phenomenologically important differences. We
explain the origin of these differences.

] | We analyze lepton flavour violation (LFV), as well as generation of the observed baryon-antibaryon asymmetry of the Universe (BAU) within a generalized minimal lepton flavour violation (MLFV) framework where we allow for CP violation both at low and high energies. The generation of BAU is obtained through radiative resonant leptogenesis (RRL), where starting with three exactly degenerate right-handed neutrinos at Lambda_GUT, we demonstrate explicitly within the SM and the MSSM that the splittings between their masses at the see-saw scale M_nu, generated by renormalization group effects, are sufficient for a successful leptogenesis for M_nu even as low as 10^6 GeV. The inclusion of flavour effects plays an important role in this result and can lead to the observed BAU even in the absence of CP violation beyond the PMNS phases. The absence of a stringent lower bound on M_nu in this type of leptogenesis allows to easily satisfy present and near future upper bounds on mu -> e gamma and other charged lepton flavour violating (LFV) processes even for Lambda_LFV = O(1 TeV). We find, that the MLFV framework in the presence of heavy right-handed neutrinos and leptogenesis is not as predictive as MFV in the quark sector and point out that without a specific MLFV model, there is a rich spectrum of possibilities for charged LFV processes and for their correlation with low energy neutrino physics and the LHC physics, even if the constraint from the observed BAU is taken into account. While certain qualitative features of our analysis confirm findings of Cirigliano et al., at the quantitative level we find phenomenologically important differences. We explain the origin of these differences. |

decay rates, if in the nonleptonic decay a spin one meson of arbitrary mass or
a pion take the place of the lepton pair. Where the decay constants of those

value $m_{D1}$ of the Dirac mass matrix $m_{D}$ in the type-I seesaw mechanism.
A mass relation $M_{1} = m_{D1}^{2}/ |(m_{\nu})_{11}|$ is obtained for the
lightest mass $M_{1}$ of the right-handed neutrino $\nu_{R1}$ and the mass
matrix of the left-handed neutrinos $m_{\nu}$ in the diagonal basis of $m_{D}$.
This relation is rather stable under renormalization because it is
gauge-invariant in the SM and associates with the approximate chiral symmetry
of $\nu_{R1}$.
If diagonalization of the Yukawa matrices of leptons $Y_{\nu, e}$ has only
small mixings, the element $(m_{\nu})_{11}$ is close to the effective mass
$m_{ee}$ of the neutrinoless double beta decay. By assuming $m_{D1} \simeq
m_{u,e} \simeq 0.5$ MeV, the lightest mass is about $M_{1} \gtrsim O(100)$ TeV
in the normal hierarchy and $M_{1} \sim O(10)$ TeV in the inverted hierarchy.
Such a $\nu_{R1}$ with a tiny Yukawa coupling $y_{\nu 1} \sim O(10^{-5})$ can
indirectly influence various observations.
On the other hand, the famous bound of the thermal leptogenesis $M_{1}
\gtrsim 10^{9}$ GeV that requires $m_{D1} \gtrsim 30$ MeV seems to be difficult
to reconcile with a simple unified theory without a special condition.

evaluating its quadratic scalar radius, \la r^2\ra_s^\sigma. This allows one to
have a quantitative estimate for the size of this resonance. We obtain that the
\sigma resonance is a compact object with $\la
r^2\ra_s^\sigma=(0.19\pm0.02)-i(0.06\pm0.02)$ fm^2. Within our approach,
employing unitary chiral perturbation theory, the \sigma is a dynamically
generated resonance that stems from the pion-pion interactions. Given its small
size we conclude that the two pions inside the resonance are merged. A
four-quark picture is then more appropriate. However, when the pion mass
increases, for pion masses somewhat above 400 MeV, the picture of a two-pion
molecule is the appropriate one. The \sigma is then a spread \pi\pi bound
state. These results are connected with other recent works that support a non
standard nature of the \sigma as well, while fulfilling strong QCD constraints,
as well as with lattice QCD. We offer a detailed study of the low-energy S-wave
\pi\pi scattering data from where we extract our values for the threshold
parameters of S-wave \pi\pi phase shifts, the {\cal O}(p^4) chiral perturbation
theory low energy constants as well as the \sigma pole position. From the
comparison with other accurate determinations in the literature we obtain the
average values for the isospin 0 S-wave \pi\pi threshold parameters,
$a_0^0=0.220\pm0.003$, $b_0^0=0.279\pm 0.003 M_\pi^{-2}$, and for the real and
imaginary parts of the \sigma pole position in \sqrt{s}, $458\pm14-i(261\pm17)$
MeV. The quark mass dependence of the size of the \sigma, its mass and width
are considered too. The latter agree accurately with a previous lattice QCD
calculation. The fact that the mass of this resonance tends to follow the
threshold of two pions is a clear indication that the \sigma is a dynamically

$\dmchi$ is sufficiently big that $c\tau(\cpmone)\lsim$few cm and $\mgl$ is

Passarino-Veltman scalar functions, for the one-loop contributions to the
anomalous weak magnetic dipole moment (AWMDM) of a charged lepton in the
framework of the simplest little Higgs model (SLHM). Our results are general
and can be useful to compute the weak properties of a charged lepton in other
extensions of the standard model (SM). As a by-product we obtain generic
contributions to the anomalous magnetic dipole moment (AMDM), which agree with
previous results. We then study numerically the potential contributions from
this model to the $\tau$ lepton AMDM and AWMDM for values of the parameter
space consistent with current experimental data. It is found that they depend
mainly on the energy scale $f$ at which the global symmetry is broken and the
$t_\beta$ parameter, whereas there is little sensitivity to a mild change in
the values of other parameters of the model. While the $\tau$ AMDM is of the
order of $10^{-9}$, the real (imaginary) part of its AWMDM is of the order of
$10^{-9}$ ($10^{-10}$). These values seem to be out of the reach of the
expected experimental sensitivity of future experiments.

Our results are general and can be useful to compute the weak properties of a charged lepton in other extensions of the standard model (SM). As a by-product we obtain generic contributions to the anomalous magnetic dipole moment (AMDM), which agree with previous results. We then study numerically the potential contributions from this model to the $\tau$ lepton AMDM and AWMDM for values of the parameter space consistent with current experimental data. It is found that they depend mainly on the energy scale $f$ at which the global symmetry is broken and the $t_\beta$ parameter, whereas there is little sensitivity to a mild change in the values of other parameters of the model. While the $\tau$ AMDM is of the order of $10^{-9}$, the real (imaginary) part of its AWMDM is of the order of $10^{-9}$ ($10^{-10}$). These values seem to be out of the reach of the expected experimental sensitivity of future experiments. |

gauge-invariant but also Lorentz frame-independent, so that it is legitimately

reliable. We develop qualitative insights into what makes a crystal structure
favorable, and use these to winnow the possibilities. The two structures that

Interacting Massive Particle (WIMP) via induced nuclear recoil. Our method is
based on spectroscopic interrogation of quantum defects in macroscopic
solid-state crystals . When a WIMP scatters in a crystal, the induced nuclear
recoil creates a tell-tale damage cluster, localized to within about 50 nm,
with an orientation to the damage trail that correlates well with the direction
of the recoil and hence the incoming WIMP. This damage cluster induces strain
in the crystal, shifting the energy levels of nearby quantum defects. These
level shifts can be measured optically (or through paramagnetic resonance)
making it possible to detect the strain environment around the defect in a
solid sample. As a specific example, we consider nitrogen vacancy centers in
diamond, for which high defect densities and nanoscale localization of
individual defects have been demonstrated. To localize the millimeter-scale
region of a nuclear recoil within the crystal due to a potential dark matter
event, we can use conventional WIMP detection techniques such as the collection
of ionization/scintillation. Once an event is identified, the quantum defects
in the vicinity of the event can be interrogated to map the strain environment,
thus determining the direction of the recoil. In principle, this approach
should be able to identify the recoil direction with an efficiency greater than
70% at a false positive rate less than 5% for 10 keV recoil energies. If
successful, this method would allow for directional detection of WIMP-induced
nuclear recoils at solid state densities, enabling probes of WIMP parameter
space below the solar neutrino floor. This technique could also potentially be
applied to identify the direction of particles such as neutrons whose low
scattering cross-section requires detectors with a large target mass.

extract certain quantities of two-point functions, such as spectral densities,
mass poles or multi-particle thresholds, it is necessary to perform an analytic

loop integral in the complex plane of the square of the loop momentum, in order
to avoid non-analyticities in the integration plane. Using a toy model for

scenarios: A vector boson in the irreducible representation $Z_{\mu}^{\prime}

muons, and a combination of two leptoquarks: the scalar $R_2 \sim (3,2,7/6)$

by recasting di-muon resonance, $pp \to t \bar t t \bar t$ and SUSY searches.
Additionally, we analyze the prospects for discovering these mediators during

] | We consider the absorption of probe photons by electrons in the presence of an intense, pulsed, background field. Our analysis reveals an interplay between regularisation and gauge invariance which distinguishes absorption from its crossing-symmetric processes, as well as a physical interpretation of absorption in terms of degenerate processes in the weak field limit. In the strong field limit we develop a locally constant field approximation (LCFA) for absorption which also exhibits new features. We benchmark the LCFA against exact analytical calculations and explore its regime of validity. Pulse shape effects are also investigated, as well as infra-red and collinear limits of the absorption process. |

parameter space. The Stodolsky effect is the spin-dependent shift in the energy
of a Standard Model (SM) fermion sitting in a bath of neutrinos. This effect,
which scales linearly in the effective coupling, manifests as a small torque on
the SM fermion spin and has historically been proposed as a method of detecting
the cosmic neutrino background. We generalise this effect to DM, and give
expressions for the induced energy shifts for DM candidates from spin-$0$ to
spin-$\frac 32$, considering all effective operators up to mass dimension-6. In
all cases, the effect scales inversely with the DM mass, but requires an
asymmetric background. We show that a torsion balance experiment is sensitive
to energy shifts of $\Delta E \gtrsim 10^{-28}\,\mathrm{eV}$, whilst a more
intricate setup using a SQUID magnetometer is sensitive to shifts of $\Delta E
\gtrsim 10^{-32}\,\mathrm{eV}$. Finally, we compute the energy shifts for a
model of scalar DM, and demonstrate that the Stodolsky effect can be used to
constrain regions of parameter space that are not presently excluded.

by the chiral vortical effect of transient fluctuations | 22 pages, 6 figures | null | 10.1140/epjc/s10052-021-09272-9 | null | hep-ph | http://arxiv.org/licenses/nonexclusive-distrib/1.0/ | We study the contribution of temperature-dependent chiral vortical effect to
the generation and evolution of the hypermagnetic fields and the
matter-antimatter asymmetries, in the symmetric phase of the early Universe, in
the temperature range $100\mbox{GeV} \le T\le 10\mbox{TeV}$. Our most important
result is that, due to the chiral vortical effect, small overlapping transient
fluctuations in the vorticity field in the plasma and temperature of matter
degrees of freedom can lead to the generation of strong hypermagnetic fields
and matter-antimatter asymmetries, all starting from zero initial values. We
show that, either an increase in the amplitudes of the fluctuations of
vorticity or temperature, or a decrease in their widths, leads to the
production of stronger hypermagnetic fields, and therefore, larger
matter-antimatter asymmetries. We have the interesting result that fluctuating
vorticity fields are more productive, by many orders of magnitude, as compared
to vorticities that are constant in time.

with the on-shell $tu_1g$ vertex, which only gives rise to a pure dipolar

gives a larger contribution than the dipolar one. It is found that the
branching ratio for the three-body decay $t\to u_1\bar{u}_2u_2$ is about of the

boost-invariant blast-wave model, on kinetic freeze-out parameters of
identified hadrons in low energy relativistic heavy-ion collisions. For the
purpose of this study, we use the transverse momentum spectra of the identified
hadrons produced in central Pb--Pb collisions, at SPS energies ranging from
$\rm E_{Lab}=20A-158A $ GeV, and analyze them within a modified non
boost-invariant blast wave model. We perform simultaneous fits of the
transverse momentum spectra for light hadrons ($\pi^{-}$, $K^{\pm}$, $p$) and
heavy strange hadrons ($\Lambda$, $\bar{\Lambda}$, $\phi$, $\Xi^{\pm}$,
$\Omega^{\pm}$) seperately. We also fit the transverse momentum spectra of
charmonia ($J/\Psi$, $\Psi'$) at $\rm E_{Lab}=158A $ GeV. Our findings suggest
that the inclusion of flow fluctuations enhances kinetic freeze-out temperature
in case of light and heavy strange hadrons and reduces the corresponding
transverse flow velocities. Moreover, we find that the kinetic freeze-out
parameters of the charmonia at $\rm E_{Lab}=158A $ GeV are least affected by
inclusion of flow fluctuations. Based on this, we make predictions which can
provide further insights on the role of flow fluctuations in relativistic
heavy-ion collisions.
