We calculate gluino condensate for supersymmetric Yang Mills theory on general grounds without making any assumption with regard to the weak or strong regime of the theory. Our result coincides with that obtained from an instanton superpotential when the theory is weakly interacting. The method also determines the corresponding partition function.

A new theory makes testable predictions: (1) Higgs fields have an unconventional equation of motion. (2) Fermions have a second-order coupling to gauge fields. (3) Fermion propagators are modified at high energy. (4) There are new scalar bosons which are supersymmetric partners of spin 1/2 fermions. (5) Since W-bosons gravitate differently from fermions and massless gauge bosons, there is a very small violation of the equivalence principle. Other features of the theory have implications for cosmology, including the values of cosmological parameters, a mechanism for scale-invariant density fluctuations, and a candidate for dark matter.

We discuss recent progress in the development of the three-fluid hydrodynamics-based program THESEUS towards an event generator suitable for applications to heavy-ion collisions at the intermediate energies of the planned NICA and FAIR experiments. We follow the strategy that modifications of particle distributions at the freeze-out surface in the QCD phase diagram may be mapped directly to the observable ones within a sudden freeze-out scheme. We report first results of these investigations for the production of light clusters (deuterons and tritons) which can be compared to experimental data from the HADES and the NA49 experiment and for the interpretation of the "horn" effect observed in the collision energy dependence of the $K^+/\pi^+$ ratio. Medium effects on light cluster production in the QCD phase diagram are negligible at the highest NICA energies but shall play a dominant role at the lowest energies. A sharp "horn"-type signal in the $K^+/\pi^+$ ratio can be obtained when the onset of Bose condensation modelled by a pion chemical potential results in an enhancement of pions at low momenta (which is seen at LHC energies) and would occur already in the NICA energy range.

I present results for the two-loop soft anomalous dimensions for associated production of a single top quark with a W boson or a charged Higgs boson. The calculation uses expressions for the massive cusp anomalous dimension, which are presented in different forms, and it allows soft-gluon resummation at next-to-next-to-leading-logarithm (NNLL) accuracy. From the NNLL resummed cross section I derive approximate NNLO cross sections for bg -> tW- and bg -> tH- at LHC energies of 7, 10, and 14 TeV.

Diboson production at the LHC is a process of great importance both in the context of tests of the SM and for direct searches for new physics. In this paper we present a phenomenological study of WW, WZ, and ZZ production considering event selections of interest for the anomalous triple-gauge-boson-coupling searches at the LHC: we provide theoretical predictions within the Standard Model at NLO QCD and NLO EW accuracy and study the effect of the anomalous triple-gauge-boson interactions at NLO QCD. For WW and ZZ production, the contribution of the gluon-initiated loop-induced processes is included. Anomalous triple-gauge-boson interactions are parametrized in the EFT framework. This paper is the first application of RECOLA2 in the EFT context.

Flavor SU(3) symmetry breaking in the hyperon semileptonic decay form-factors is analyzed using the 1/N expansion. A detailed comparison with experimental data shows that corrections to f_1 are approximately 10%, which agrees with theoretical expectations. Corrections to g_1 are compatible with first-order symmetry breaking. A fit to the experimental data allows one to predict the g_1 form factor for Xi^0 -> Sigma^+ decay. The proton matrix element of the T^8 component of the axial current (which is equal to 3F-D in the SU(3) symmetry limit) is found to be approximately 0.34.

The form factors of weak decays of $B_s$ mesons to ground state $D_s^{(*)}$ mesons as well as to their radial $D_s^{(*)}(2S)$ and orbital $D_{sJ}^{(*)}$ excitations are calculated in the framework of the relativistic quark model based on the quasipotential approach. All relativistic effects, including contributions of intermediate negative-energy states and boosts of the meson wave functions, are consistently taken into account. As a result the form factors are determined in the whole kinematical range without additional phenomenological parametrizations and extrapolations. On this basis semileptonic decay branching fractions are calculated. Two-body nonleptonic $B_s$ decays are considered within the factorization approximation. The obtained results agree well with available experimental data.

Hidden theories coupled to the SM may provide emergent axions, that are composites/bound-states of the hidden fields. This is motivated by paradigms emerging from the AdS/CFT correspondence but it is a more general phenomenon. We explore the general setup and find that UV-sourced interactions of instanton densities give rise to emergent axions in the IR. We study the general properties of such axions and argue that they are generically different from both fundamental and composite axions that have been studied so far.

In this work, we treat the newly observed doubly charmed four-quark state $ T_{cc}^{+}$ as an axial-vector tetraquark with content $cc\overline{u} \overline{d}$, and calculate its spectroscopic parameters and width. The mass and current coupling of the tetraquark $T_{cc}^{+}$ are found by means of the QCD two-point sum rule method by taking into account quark, gluon and mixed condensates up to dimension $10$. The width of the $T_{cc}^{+}$ is evaluated using partial widths of decay processes $T_{cc}^{+} \to \widetilde{ T}\pi ^{0}$ and $T_{cc}^{+} \to T_{cc;\overline{u}\overline{u}}^{0}\pi ^{+}$ , where $\widetilde{T}=cc\overline{u}\overline{d}$ and $T_{cc;\overline{u} \overline{u}}^{0}$ are scalar tetraquarks. To compute the partial width of the first process, we apply the QCD three-point sum rule approach and extract numerical value of the strong coupling $g$ that corresponds to the vertex $T_{cc}^{+}\widetilde{T}\pi ^{0}$. The width of the second decay is estimated using isospin symmetry and the prediction obtained for the first channel. Our results for the mass $m=(3868\pm 124)~\mathrm{MeV}$ and width $ \Gamma=(489\pm 92)~\mathrm{keV}$ of the tetraquark $T_{cc}^{+}$ are in a nice agreement with recent measurements of the LHCb collaboration.

The short distance potentials between heavy SU(3) and SU(4) sources are calculated by increasing the role of vortex fluxes piercing Wilson loops with contributions close to the trivial center element and by fluctuating the vortex core size in the model of thick center vortices. By this method, a Coulombic potential consistent with Casimir scaling is obtained. In addition, all other features of the potential including a linear intermediate potential in agreement with Casimir scaling and a large distance potential proportional to the $N$-ality of the representation are restored. Therefore, the model of thick center vortices may be used as a phenomenological model, which is able to describe the potential for all regimes.

A slow $J/\psi$ bump exists in the inclusive $B\to J/\psi + X$ spectrum, while the softness of $J/\psi$ spectrum in $\Upsilon(1S) \to J/\psi + X$ decay is in strong contrast with expectations from color octet mechanism. We propose {\it intrinsic} charm as the explanation:the former is due to $\bar B\to J/\psi D \pi$,with three charm quarks in the final state; the latter is just a small fraction of $\Upsilon(1S) \to (c\bar c)_{\rm slow} + 2$"jet" events, where the slow moving $c\bar c$ system evolves into $D^{(*)}$ pairs. Experimental search for these phenomena at B Factories and the Tevatron is strongly urged, as the implications go beyond QCD.

We propose {\it intrinsic} charm as the explanation:the former is due to $\bar B\to J/\psi D \pi$,with three charm quarks in the final state; the latter is just a small fraction of $\Upsilon(1S) \to (c\bar c)_{\rm slow} + 2$"jet" events, where the slow moving $c\bar c$ system evolves into $D^{(*)}$ pairs. Experimental search for these phenomena at B Factories and the Tevatron is strongly urged, as the implications go beyond QCD.

In addition to the dielectric and magnetic permeability constants, another constant is generally needed to describe the electrodynamic properties of a linear isotropic medium. We discuss why the need for the third constant arises and what sort of physical situations can give rise to a non-zero value for it. This additional constant, which we call the {\em ``Activity Constant''} and denote by $\zeta$, can explain optical activity and other phenomena from a purely macroscopic and phenomenological point of view.

Many scenarios beyond the standard model, aiming to solve long-standing cosmological and particle physics problems, suggest that dark matter might experience long-distance interactions mediated by an unbroken dark $U(1)$ gauge symmetry, hence foreseeing the existence of a massless dark photon. Contrary to the massive dark photon, a massless dark photon can only couple to the standard model sector by means of effective higher dimensional operators. Massless dark-photon production at colliders will then in general be suppressed at low energy by a UV energy scale, which is of the order of the masses of portal (messenger) fields connecting the dark and the observable sectors. A violation of this expectation is provided by dark-photon production mediated by the Higgs boson, thanks to the non-decoupling Higgs properties. Higgs-boson production at colliders, followed by the Higgs decay into a photon and a dark photon, provides then a very promising production mechanism for the dark photon discovery, being insensitive in particular regimes to the UV scale of the new physics. This decay channel gives rise to a peculiar signature characterized by a monochromatic photon with energy half the Higgs mass (in the Higgs rest frame) plus missing energy. We show how such resonant photon-plus-missing-energy signature can uniquely be connected to a dark photon production. Higgs boson production and decay into a photon and a dark photon as a source of dark photons is reviewed at the Large Hadron Collider, in the light of the present bounds on the corresponding signature by the CMS and ATLAS collaborations. Perspectives for the dark-photon production in Higgs-mediated processes at future $e^+e^-$ colliders are also discussed.

We study the cosmological evolution of a light QCD axion and identify the parameter space to obtain the correct relic dark matter abundance. The axion potential is flattened at the origin, corresponding to the only minimum, while it is unsuppressed at $\pi$. These potential features arise by assuming a mirror sector with the strong CP phase $\bar\theta$ shifted by $\pi$ compared to the SM sector, which allows the mirror axion potential to be tuned against the usual QCD axion potential. Before the QCD phase transition, assuming the mirror sector is decoupled and much colder than the SM thermal bath, the mirror sector potential dominates, causing the axion to initially roll to a temporary minimum at $\pi$. However, after the QCD phase transition, the potential minimum changes, and the axion relaxes from the newly created "hilltop" near $\pi$ to the CP-conserving minimum at the origin. As the axion adiabatically tracks this shift in the potential minimum through the QCD phase transition, with non-adiabatic evolution near $\pi$ and 0, it alters the usual prediction of the dark matter abundance. Consequently, this "hilltop" misalignment mechanism opens new regions of axion parameter space, with the correct relic abundance while still solving the strong CP problem, that could be explored in future experiments.

The Higgsino mass, or equivalently the $\mu$-parameter, plays an essential role in determining the phenomenology of any supersymmetric model. Particularly, the size of the supersymmetry conserving mu-parameter must be correlated with the size of the soft supersymmetry breaking parameters. The source of this correlation in the underlying ultra-violet theory is one of the mysteries of supersymmetry model building. The puzzle and the various possibilities for its resolution are reviewed, stressing both phenomenological and theoretical aspects. New proposals in the context of supergravity and gauge-mediation frameworks for the soft supersymmetry breaking parameters are examined in some detail.

We extend the study of quark spin-orbit correlations in the nucleon to the case of transverse polarization. At the leading-twist level, this completes the spin structure of the quark kinetic energy-momentum tensor. In particular, we revisit the transversity decomposition of angular momentum proposed a decade ago by Burkardt and introduce a new transverse correlation, namely between quark transversity and orbital angular momentum. We also provide for the first time the Wandzura-Wilczek expression for the second Mellin moment of twist-3 transversity generalized parton distributions, along with a new sum rule. Based on lattice calculation results, we conclude that the quark transverse spin-orbit correlation is negative for both up and down flavors, just like in the longitudinal case.

The recent detection of the cosmic microwave background polarimeter experiment BICEP2 of tensor fluctuations in the B-mode power spectrum basically excludes all plausible axion models where its decay constant is above $10^{13}$ GeV. Moreover, there are strong theoretical, astrophysical, and cosmological motivations for models involving, in addition to the axion, also axion-like particles (ALPs), with decay constants in the intermediate scale range, between $10^9$ GeV and $10^{13}$ GeV. Here, we present a general analysis of models with an axion and further ALPs and derive bounds on the relative size of the axion and ALP photon (and electron) coupling. We discuss what we can learn from measurements of the axion and ALP photon couplings about the fundamental parameters of the underlying ultraviolet completion of the theory. For the latter we consider extensions of the Standard Model in which the axion and the ALP(s) appear as pseudo Nambu-Goldstone bosons from the breaking of global chiral $U(1)$ (Peccei-Quinn (PQ)) symmetries, occuring accidentally as low energy remnants from exact discrete symmetries. In such models, the axion and the further ALP are protected from disastrous explicit symmetry breaking effects due to Planck-scale suppressed operators. The scenarios considered exploit heavy right handed neutrinos getting their mass via PQ symmetry breaking and thus explain the small mass of the active neutrinos via a seesaw relation between the electroweak and an intermediate PQ symmetry breaking scale. We show some models that can accommodate simultaneously an axion dark matter candidate, an ALP explaining the anomalous transparency of the universe for $\gamma$-rays, and an ALP explaining the recently reported 3.55 keV gamma line from galaxies and clusters of galaxies, if the respective decay constants are of intermediate scale.

Assuming that hints for SUSY are found in the jets plus missing energy channel by the end of a 5 fb$^{-1}$ run, we explore the flavour constraints on three models with a CMSSM-like spectrum: the CMSSM itself, a Seesaw extension of the CMSSM, and Flavoured CMSSM. In particular, we focus on decays that might have been measured by the time the run is concluded, such as $B_s\to\mu\mu$ and $\mu\to e\gamma$. We also analyse constraints imposed by neutral meson bounds and electric dipole moments. The interplay between collider and flavour experiments is explored through the use of three benchmark scenarios, finding the flavour feedback useful in order to determine the model parameters and to test the consistency of the different models.

I briefly review the status and recent progress in the theoretical understanding of non-leptonic decays of beauty and charm hadrons. Focusing on a personal selection of topics, this covers perturbative calculations in quantum chromodynamics, analyses using flavour symmetries of strong interactions, and the modelling of the relevant hadronic input functions.

The time-dependent angular distributions of certain $B_{d,s}$ decays into final states that are admixtures of CP-even and CP-odd configurations provide valuable information about CKM phases and hadronic parameters. We present the general formalism to accomplish this task, taking also into account penguin contributions, and illustrate it by considering a few specific decay modes. We give particular emphasis to the decay $B_d\to J/\psi \rho^0$, which can be combined with $B_s\to J/\psi \phi$ to extract the $B^0_d - \bar{B^0_d}$ mixing phase and - if penguin effects in the former mode should be sizeable - also the angle $\gamma$ of the unitarity triangle. As an interesting by-product, this strategy allows us to take into account also the penguin effects in the extraction of the $B^0_s - \bar{B^0_s}$ mixing phase from $B_s\to J/\psi \phi$. Moreover, a discrete ambiguity in the extraction of the CKM angle $\beta$ can be resolved, and valuable insights into SU(3)-breaking effects can be obtained. Other interesting applications of the general formalism presented in this paper, involving $B_d\to\rho \rho$ and $B_{s,d}\to K^{\ast} \bar{K^\ast}$ decays, are also briefly noted.

The implementation of the little Higgs mechanism to solve the hierarchy problem provides an interesting guiding principle to build particle physics models beyond the electroweak scale. Most model building works, however, pay not much attention to the fermionic sector. Through a case example, we illustrate how a complete and consistent fermionic sector of the TeV effective field theory may actually be largely dictated by the gauge structure of the model. The completed fermionic sector has specific flavor physics structure, and many phenomenological constraints on the model can thus be obtained beyond gauge, Higgs, and top physics. We take a first look on some of the quark sector constraints.

We analyse in a model independent way the possibilities of digging out neutral exotic Higgs states, should they exist endowed with unconventional couplings with ordinary matter and gauge fields, at the 14 TeV run of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), adding some comparative studies for 13.6 and 13 TeV runs. Flavor models, based on some discrete symmetry groups, with extended scalar sectors are known to yield exotic spin-0 states, both CP-even and CP-odd, with purely flavor off-diagonal Yukawa couplings. The gauge interaction of one such CP-even state is also unusual that, unlike the Standard Model Higgs boson, it does not couple to gauge boson pairs. Such unconventional properties immune these exotic states from receiving traditional collider and electroweak constraints, and hence those states could be light. Without committing to any specific model, exploiting their peculiar Yukawa and gauge properties, we explore the discovery potential of those exotic Higgs states through some interesting topologies by figuring out some specific kinematic variables that suppress the backgrounds.

Drell-Yan production is one of the precision cornerstones of the LHC, serving as calibration for measurements such as the $W$-boson mass. Its extreme precision at the level of 1% challenges theory predictions at the highest level. We present the first independent calculation of Drell-Yan production at order $\alpha_s^3$ in transverse-momentum ($q_T$) resummation improved perturbation theory. Our calculation reaches the state-of-the-art through inclusion of the recently published four loop rapidity anomalous dimension and three loop massive axial-vector contributions. We compare to the most recent data from CMS with fiducial and differential cross-section predictions and find excellent agreement at the percent level. Our resummed calculation including the matching to $Z$+jet production at NNLO is publicly available in the upcoming CuTe-MCFM 10.3 release and allows for theory-data comparison at an unprecedented level.

We present the GLoBES (``General Long Baseline Experiment Simulator'') software package, which allows the simulation of long-baseline and reactor neutrino oscillation experiments. One part of the software is the abstract experiment definition language to define experiments with beam and full detector descriptions as accurate as possible. Many systematics options are provided, such as normalization and energy calibration errors, or the choice between spectral or total rate information. For the definition of experiments, a new transparent building block concept is introduced. In addition, an additional program provides the possibility to develop and test new experiment definitions quickly. Another part of GLoBES is the user's interface, which provides probability, rate, and $\Delta \chi^2$ information for a given experiment or any combination of up to 32 experiments in C. Especially, the $\Delta \chi^2$ functions allow a simulation with statistics only, systematics, correlations, and degeneracies. In particular, GLoBES can handle the full multi-parameter correlation among the oscillation parameters, external input, and matter density uncertainties.

Based on 4 yr AMS-02 antiproton data, we present bounds on the dark matter (DM) annihilation cross section vs. mass for some representative final state channels. We use recent cosmic-ray propagation models, a realistic treatment of experimental and theoretical errors, and an updated calculation of input antiproton spectra based on a recent release of the PYTHIA code. We find that reported hints of a DM signal are statistically insignificant; an adequate treatment of errors is crucial for credible conclusions. Antiproton bounds on DM annihilation are among the most stringent ones, probing thermal DM up to the TeV scale. The dependence of the bounds upon propagation models and the DM halo profile is also quantified. A preliminary estimate reaches similar conclusions when applied to the 7 years AMS-02 dataset, but also suggests extra caution as for possible future claims of DM excesses.

The galactic center excess of gamma ray photons can be naturally explained by light Majorana fermions in combination with a pseudoscalar mediator. The NMSSM provides exactly these ingredients. We show that for neutralinos with a significant singlino component the galactic center excess can be linked to invisible decays of the Standard-Model-like Higgs at the LHC. We find predictions for invisible Higgs branching ratios in excess of 50 percent, easily accessible at the LHC. Constraining the NMSSM through GUT-scale boundary conditions only slightly affects this expectation. Our results complement earlier NMSSM studies of the galactic center excess, which link it to heavy Higgs searches at the LHC.

Contribution to A.D.Sakharov memorial volume. A detailed review of the electroweak radiative corrections to the Z-boson decays in the framework of the Minimal Standard Modelm (MSM) is presented. After a short historical introduction we describe the optimal parametrization of the MSM, especially of the Born approximation, and derive expressions for the one-loop electroweak corrections. Finally a global fit of all relevant experimental data is performed, resulting in fitted values of the top-quark mass, m_t, and strong coupling constant /alpha_s. Allowed range for the value of the Higgs mass, m_H, is discussed. Various details of calculations are described in 16 appendices.

The behavior of strange matter in the frame of the SU(3)Polyakov-loop extended Nambu-Jona-Lasinio model including $U_A(1)$ anomaly is considered. We discuss the appearance of a peak in the ratio of the number of strange mesons to non-strange mesons known as the "horn". The PNJL model gives a schematic description of the chiral phase transition and meson properties at finite temperature and density. Using the model, we can show that the splitting of kaon and anti-kaon masses appears as a result of introduction of density. This may explain the difference in the $K^+/\pi^+$ ratio and $K^-/\pi^-$ ratio at low $\sqrt{s_{NN}}$ and their tendency to the same value at high $\sqrt{s_{NN}}$. We also show that the rise in the ratio $K^+/\pi^+$ appears near CEP when we build the $K^+/\pi^+$ ratio along the phase transition diagram and it can be considered as a critical region signal.

The strong CP problem of QCD is at heart a problem of naturalness: why is the F\tilde{F} term highly suppressed in the QCD Lagrangian when it seems necessary to explain why there are three and not four light pions? The most elegant solution posits a spontaneously broken Peccei-Quinn (PQ) symmetry which requires the existence of the axion field a. The axion field settles to the minimum of its potential thus removing the offensive term but giving rise to the physical axion whose coherent oscillations can make up the cold dark matter. Only now are experiments such as ADMX beginning to explore QCD axion parameter space. Since a bonafide scalar particle-- the Higgs boson-- has been discovered, one might expect its mass to reside at the axion scale f_a~ 10^{11} GeV. The Higgs mass is elegantly stabilized by supersymmetry: in this case the axion is accompanied by its axino and saxion superpartners. Requiring naturalness also in the electroweak sector implies higgsino-like WIMPs so then we expect mixed axion-WIMP dark matter. Ultimately we would expect detection of both an axion and a WIMP while signals for light higgsinos may show up at LHC and must show up at ILC.

We study the determination of gamma from CP-violating observables in B -> pi+ pi- and B -> psi K_S. This determination requires theoretical input to one combination of hadronic parameters. We show that a mild assumption about this quantity may allow bounds to be placed on gamma, but we stress the pernicious effects that an eightfold discrete ambiguity has on such an analysis. The bounds are discussed as a function of the direct (C) and interference (S) CP-violating observables obtained from time-dependent B -> pi+ pi- decays, and their behavior in the presence of new physics effects in B-Bbar mixing is studied. (V2: Misprints corrected. Slightly improved discussion.)

We show that when saturation effects are included one obtains a good description of the exclusive $\mathrm{J}/\psi$ production spectra in ultra peripheral lead-lead collisions as recently measured by the ALICE Collaboration at the LHC. As exclusive spectra are sensitive to the spatial distribution of nuclear matter at small Bjorken-$x$, this implies that gluon saturation effects modify the impact parameter profile of the target as we move towards small $x$. In addition to saturation effects, we find a preference for larger nuclear strong-interaction radii compared to the typical charge radius. We demonstrate the role of finite photon transverse momentum and the interference between the cases for which the role of photon emitter and target are switched between the nuclei. We show that these effects are comparable to the experimental precision for $p_T$-differential cross sections and as such need to be included when comparing to LHC data. Finally, the integrated $\mathrm{J}/\psi$ production cross sections from the LHC and preliminary transverse momentum spectra from RHIC are shown to prefer calculations with fluctuating nucleon substructure, although these datasets would require even stronger saturation effects than predicted from our framework.

We study the radiative decay properties of the charmonium-like X, Y and Z mesons generated dynamically from vector meson-vector meson interaction in the framework of a unitarized hidden-gauge formalism. In the present work we calculate the one- and two-photon decay widths of the hidden-charm Y(3940), Z(3930) (or X(3915)) and X(4160) mesons in the framework of the vector meson dominance formalism. We obtain good agreement with experiment in case of the two photon width of the X(3915) which we associate with the $2^+$ resonance that we find at 3922 MeV.

Based on the Cornwall-Jackiw-Tomboulis effective potential, we extensively study nonperturbative renormalization of the gauged Nambu-Jona-Lasinio model in the ladder approximation with standing gauge coupling. Although the pure Nambu-Jona-Lasinio model is not renormalizable, presence of the gauge interaction makes it possible that the theory is renormalized as an interacting continuum theory at the critical line in the ladder approximation. Extra higher dimensional operators (``counter terms'') are not needed for the theory to be renormalized. By virtue of the effective potential approach, the renormalization (``symmetric renormalization'') is performed in a phase-independent manner both for the symmetric and the spontaneously broken phases of the chiral symmetry. We explicitly obtain $\beta$ function having a nontrivial ultraviolet fixed line for the renormalized coupling as well as the bare one. In both phases the anomalous dimension is very large ($ \ge 1$) without discontinuity across the fixed line. Operator product expansion is explicitly constructed, which is consistent with the large anomalous dimension owing to the appearance of the nontrivial extra power behavior in the Wilson coefficient for the unit operator. The symmetric renormalization breaks down at the critical gauge coupling, which is cured by the generalized renormalization scheme (``$\tM$-dependent renormalization''). Also emphasized is the formal resemblance to the four-fermion theory in less than four dimensions which is renormalizable in $1/N$ expansion.

In our model the top and exotic quarks get tree level masses, whereas the bottom, charm and strange quarks as well as the tau and muon leptons obtain their masses from a tree level Universal seesaw mechanism thanks to their mixing with charged exotic vector like fermions. The masses for the first generation SM charged fermions are generated from a radiative seesaw mechanism at one loop level. The light active neutrino masses are produced from a loop level radiative seesaw mechanism. Our model successfully accommodates the experimental values for electron and muon anomalous magnetic dipole moments.

We demonstrate that a simple model successfully describing experimental data for the process $\epm\to 4\pi$ can also qualitatively account for the data of CLEOII and ALEPH obtained recently for the decay $\tau\to 4\pi\nu_{\tau}$. The model is based on the assumption of the $a_1(1260)\pi$ and $\omega\pi$ dominance as intermediate states. Our observation is in contrast with the claim by ARGUS that the $\rho$-meson signal in the $\tau\to 4\pi\nu_\tau$ decay can not be explained by the $a_1\pi$ intermediate state.

We elaborate on the fact that quarkonium in hot QCD should not be thought of as a stationary bound state in a temperature-dependent real potential, but as a short-lived transient, with an exponentially decaying wave function. The reason is the existence of an imaginary part in the pertinent static potential, signalling the ``disappearance'', due to inelastic scatterings with hard particles in the plasma, of the off-shell gluons that bind the quarks together. By solving the corresponding Schr\"odinger equation, we estimate numerically the near-threshold spectral functions in scalar, pseudoscalar, vector and axial vector channels, as a function of the temperature and of the heavy quark mass. In particular, we point out a subtlety in the determination of the scalar channel spectral function and, resolving it to the best of our understanding, suggest that at least in the bottomonium case, a resonance peak can be observed also in the scalar channel, even though it is strongly suppressed with respect to the peak in the vector channel. Finally, we plot the physical dilepton production rate, stressing that despite the eventual disappearance of the resonance peak from the corresponding spectral function, the quarkonium contribution to the dilepton rate becomes more pronounced with increasing temperature, because of the yield from free heavy quarks.

The lack of new physics at the LHC has sparked renewed interest in theories of neutral naturalness, in which the Standard Model partners required for naturalness carry no Standard Model charge. The Twin Higgs was the first of these theories to be introduced, but recent work has demonstrated it is only an isolated example in a large class of "orbifold Higgs" models. In this work we study an orbifold Higgs model resulting from the orbifold projection by the non-abelian group $S_3$. A model with multiple sectors uncharged under the SM emerges. Constraints are placed on the model from Higgs phenomenology and the prospects of finding evidence at colliders are discussed.

We extend to 10 GeV results from a microscopic calculation of charged-current neutrino-nucleus reactions that do not produce a pion in the final state. For the class of events coming from neutrino interactions with two nucleons producing two holes (2p2h), limiting the calculation to three-momentum transfers less than 1.2 GeV produces a two dimensional distribution in momentum and energy transfer that is roughly constant as a function of energy. The cross section for 2p2h interactions scales with the number of nucleons for isoscalar nuclei, similar to the quasi-elastic (QE) cross section. When limited to momentum transfers below 1.2 GeV, the cross section is 26% of the QE cross section at 3 GeV, but 14% if we neglect a Delta1232 resonance absorption component. The same quantities are 33% and 17% for anti-neutrinos. For the quasi-elastic interactions, the full nuclear model with long range correlations produces an even larger, but approximately constant distortion of the shape of the four-momentum transfer at all energies above 2 GeV. The 2p2h enhancement and long-range correlation distortions to the cross section for these interactions is significant enough they should be observable in precision experiments to measure neutrino oscillations and neutrino interactions at these energies, but also balance out and produce less total distortion than each effect does individually.

Evolution equations for leading twist operators in high orders of perturbation theory can be restored from the spectrum of anomalous dimensions and the calculation of the special conformal anomaly at one order less using conformal symmetry of QCD at the Wilson-Fisher critical point at non-integer $d=4-2\epsilon$ space-time dimensions. In this work we generalize this technique to axial-vector operators. We calculate the corresponding three-loop evolution kernels in Larin's scheme and derive explicit expressions for the finite renormalization kernel that describes the difference to the vector case to restore the conventional ${\overline{\mathrm{MS}}}$-scheme. The results are directly applicable to deeply-virtual Compton scattering and the transition form factor $\gamma^*\gamma\to\pi$.

Their inclusion of temperature terms differs from the approach adopted in previous work on this problem (Phys. Rev. D 64, 074016 (2001).) We demonstrate that the two approaches are related by a transformation that leaves the thermodynamic potential invariant and which therefore has no effect on physical observables.

The particle showers produced in the atmosphere due to the interactions of primary cosmic particles require a thorough understanding in the backdrop of searches for rare interactions. In this work, we made a comprehensive study of air shower simulations using various combinations of hadronic models and particle transport code of the CORSIKA package. The primary proton and helium distributions are taken as power law which are scaled to match the measured flux in balloon experiments at the top of atmosphere. The shower simulation includes production, transport, and decays of secondaries up to the ground level. In this study, we focus on the bulk of the spectra and particles which is computationally intensive and hence parallel processing of events is done on computer cluster. We provide a way to normalize the simulation results to be compared with the ground-based measurements namely, single and multiple muon yields and their charge ratios as a function of zenith angle and momentum. This provides a basis for comparisons among the six model combinations used in this study and the differences are outlined. Most of the hadronic models in CORSIKA produce the bulk ground based measurements fairly well. We use one of the best model combinations to quantitatively predict the absolute and relative yields of various particles at ground level as well as their correlations with primaries and with each other. The leptonic ratios are obtained as a function of energy and zenith angle which are important inputs for the neutrino oscillation physics.

The particle showers produced in the atmosphere due to the interactions of primary cosmic particles require a thorough understanding in the backdrop of searches for rare interactions. In this work, we made a comprehensive study of air shower simulations using various combinations of hadronic models and particle transport code of the CORSIKA package. The primary proton and helium distributions are taken as power law which are scaled to match the measured flux in balloon experiments at the top of atmosphere. The shower simulation includes production, transport, and decays of secondaries up to the ground level. In this study, we focus on the bulk of the spectra and particles which is computationally intensive and hence parallel processing of events is done on computer cluster. We provide a way to normalize the simulation results to be compared with the ground-based measurements namely, single and multiple muon yields and their charge ratios as a function of zenith angle and momentum. This provides a basis for comparisons among the six model combinations used in this study and the differences are outlined. Most of the hadronic models in CORSIKA produce the bulk ground based measurements fairly well. We use one of the best model combinations to quantitatively predict the absolute and relative yields of various particles at ground level as well as their correlations with primaries and with each other. The leptonic ratios are obtained as a function of energy and zenith angle which are important inputs for the neutrino oscillation physics.

We explore parameter space in the Zee Model to resolve the long-standing tension of the electron and muon anomalous magnetic moment (AMM). The model comprises a second Higgs doublet and a charged singlet at electroweak scale and generates Majorana neutrino masses at one-loop level; the neutral partner of the $SU(2)_L$ doublet contributes to the AMM of electron and muon via one loop and two-loop corrections. We propose two minimal flavor structures that can explain these anomalies while fitting the neutrino oscillation data. We find that the neutral Higgs resides in the mass range of roughly 10-300 GeV or 1-30 GeV, depending on the flavor structures. The model is consistent with constraints from colliders, electroweak precision data, and lepton flavor violation. To be comprehensive, we examine the constraints from the electric dipole moment (EDM) and find a region of parameter space that gives a sizable contribution to muon EDM while simultaneously giving corrections to muon AMM. In addition to the light scalar, the two charged scalars with masses as low as 100 GeV can induce nonstandard interactions $\varepsilon_{ee}$ as large as $8\%$, potentially hinting at new physics. We also investigate the projected capability of future lepton colliders to probe the currently allowed parameter space consistent with both electron and muon AMMs via direct searches in the $\ell^{+}\ell^{-}\to \ell^{+}\ell^{-}(H \to \ell^{+}\ell^{-})$ channel.

In this article we analyze the role of an external electric field, in the weak field approximation, on $\pi$-$\pi$ scattering lengths. The discussion is presented in the frame of the linear sigma model. To achieve this, we take into account all one-loop corrections in the $s$, $t$, and $u$ channels associated with the insertion of a Schwinger propagator for charged pions, focusing on the region characterized by small values of the electric field. Furthermore, one of the novelties of our work is the explicit calculation of box diagrams, which were previously overlooked in discussions regarding magnetic corrections. It turns out that the electric field corrections have an opposite effect with respect to magnetic corrections calculated previously in the literature.

In order to confirm the strong Van der Waals force in the nucleon-nucleon interaction, it is proposed to measure precisely the angular distribution of the cross section of the low energy ($T_{lab}=20 \sim 30MeV.$) proton-proton scattering. By using the spectrum of the long range interaction obtained from the analysis of the phase shift data of the S-wave of the p-p scattering, a characteristic interference pattern, which arises from the repulsive Coulomb and the attractive strong Van der Waals forces, is predicted. The pattern has a dip at $theta_{c.m.}=14^{\circ}$ with the depth around one per cent.

The structure of events in high-energy collisions is complex and not predictable from first principles. Event generators allow the problem to be subdivided into more manageable pieces, some of which can be described from first principles, while others need to be based on appropriate models with parameters tuned to data. In these lectures we provide an overview, discuss how matrix elements are used, introduce the machinery for initial- and final-state parton showers, explain how matrix elements and parton showers can be combined for optimal accuracy, introduce the concept of multiple parton--parton interactions, comment briefly on the hadronization issue, and provide an outlook for the future.

A Pad\'e approximation approach, rooted in an infrared moment technique, is employed to provide mass estimates for various glueball states in pure gauge theories. The main input in this analysis are theoretically well-motivated fits to lattice gluon propagator data, which are by now available for both SU(2) and SU(3) in 3 and 4 space-time dimensions. We construct appropriate gauge invariant and Lorentz covariant operators in the (pseudo)scalar and (pseudo)tensor sector. Our estimates compare reasonably well with a variety of lattice sources directly aimed at extracting glueball masses.

The currently operating FASER experiment and the planned Forward Physics Facility (FPF) will detect a large number of neutrinos produced in proton-proton collisions at the LHC. In this work, we estimate neutrino fluxes at these detectors from charm meson decays, which will be particularly important for the $\nu_e$ and $\nu_\tau$ channels. We make prediction using both the next-to-leading order collinear factorization and the $k_T$-factorization approaches to model the production of charm quarks as well as different schemes to model their hadronization into charm hadrons. In particular, we emphasize that a sophisticated modeling of hadronization involving beam remnants is needed for predictions at FASER and FPF due to the sensitivity to the charm hadron production at low transverse momenta and very forward rapidity. As example, we use the string fragmentation approach implemented in \texttt{Pythia~8}. While both standard fragmentation functions and \texttt{Pythia~8} are able to describe LHCb data, we find that \texttt{Pythia~8} predicts significantly higher rate of high energy neutrinos, highlighting the importance of using the correct hadronization model when making predictions.

The transverse momentum spectra and their multiplicity dependence serve as key tools for extracting parameters that can be compared with theoretical models. This comparison aims to establish the behaviour and nature of the system created in the collision. Over the past decade, the scientific community has extensively studied the possibility of a system analogous to quark-gluon plasma, predicted in heavy nuclei collisions, also existing in collisions involving light nuclei and proton-proton collisions. We have reanalysed the experimental data published by the ALICE Collaboration at the LHC, exploring a seemingly universal feature of transverse momentum spectra of charged particles. We have identified a specific range where the contribution of the hard part is nonexistent for the studied multiplicities. We present the dependence of the mean transverse momenta obtained in the soft and soft+hard (mixed) parts and discuss the results in the context of the ongoing controversy regarding the existence of collectivity in small systems. Finally, we also discuss possible refinements of the analyses concerning the use of statistical parameters of higher order, aimed at better distinguishing the agreement of theoretical and Monte Carlo models with the data.

In recent years, different on-shell $\mathbf{3}\to\mathbf{3}$ scattering formalisms have been proposed to be applied to both lattice QCD and infinite volume scattering processes.

In recent years, different on-shell $\mathbf{3}\to\mathbf{3}$ scattering formalisms have been proposed to be applied to both lattice QCD and infinite volume scattering processes. We prove that the formulation in the infinite volume presented by Hansen and Sharpe in Phys.~Rev.~D92, 114509 (2015) and subsequently Brice\~no, Hansen, and Sharpe in Phys.~Rev.~D95, 074510 (2017) can be recovered from the $B$-matrix representation, derived on the basis of $S$-matrix unitarity, presented by Mai {\em et al.} in Eur.~Phys.~J.~A53, 177 (2017) and Jackura {\em et al.} in Eur.~Phys.~J.~C79, 56 (2019).

We explore the idea of an alternative candidate for particle dark matter namely Feebly Interacting Massive Particle (FIMP) in the framework of a two component singlet scalar model. Singlet scalar dark matter has already been demonstrated to be a viable candidate for WIMP (Weakly Interacting Massive Particle) dark matter in literature. In the FIMP scenario, dark matter particles are slowly produced via "thermal frreze-in" mechanism in the early Universe and are never abundant enough to reach thermal equilibrium or to undergo pair annihilation inside the Universe's plasma due to their extremely small couplings. We demonstrate that for smaller couplings too, required for freeze-in process, a two component scalar dark matter model considered here could well be a viable candidate for FIMP. In this scenario, the Standard Model of particle physics is extended by two gauge singlet real scalars whose stability is protected by an unbroken $Z_{2}\times {Z'}_{2}$ symmetry and they are assumed to acquire no VEV after Spontaneous Symmetry Breaking. We explore the viable mass regions in the present two scalar DM model that is in accordance with the FIMP scenario. We also explore the upper limits of masses of the two components from the consideration of their self interactions.

We study the sensitivity reach of $0.5-2$ TeV $e^+ e^-$ linear colliders in the context of the ADD model, in which gravity becomes strong at TeV scale. We include the real emission channel $e^+ e^- \to \gamma G$, as well as the virtual-graviton-exchange channels $e^+ e^- \to \gamma \gamma, q\bar q, \mu^+\mu^-, \tau^+ \tau^-, e^+ e^-$. Assuming no excess of events over the standard model predictions, we obtain the lower 95% C.L. limits on the effective Planck scale. These limits are better than those obtained in the Run II's of the Tevatron and comparable to those of the LHC.

The Dalitz decays of the positive parity $D_{sJ}^{(*)}$ charmed mesons, $D_{sJ}^{(*)} \to D_s^{(*)} \ell^+ \ell^-$ with $J=0,1,2$ and $\ell=e, \mu$, are important processes to investigate the nature of the $D_{sJ}^{(*)}$ states. We analyze the full set of decays, considering the four lightest $D_{sJ}^{(*)}$ mesons as belonging to the heavy quark spin doublets $\displaystyle s_\ell^P=\frac{1}{2}^+$ and $\displaystyle \frac{3}{2}^+$, with $s_\ell^P$ the spin-parity of the light degrees of freedom in mesons. The description implies relations among the observables in various modes. We study the decay distributions in the dilepton invariant mass squared and the distributions in the angle between the charged lepton momentum and the momentum of the produced meson, which are expressed in terms of universal form factors and of effective strong couplings. Such measurements are feasible at the present facilities.

Kinetic mixing is a fundamental property of models with a gauge symmetry involving several $\mathrm{U}(1)$ group factors. In this paper, we perform a numerical study of the impact of kinetic mixing on beta functions at two-loop. To do so, we use the recently published PyR@TE 2 software to derive the complete set of RGEs of the SM B-L model at two-loop including kinetic mixing. We show that it is important to properly account for kinetic mixing as the evolution of the parameters with the energy scale can change drastically. In some cases, these modifications can even lead to a different conclusion regarding the stability of the scalar potential.

We review the annihilation of dark matter into neutrinos over a range of dark matter masses from MeV$/c^2$ to ZeV$/c^2$. Thermally-produced models of dark matter are expected to self-annihilate to standard model products. As no such signal has yet been detected, we turn to neutrino detectors to constrain the ``most invisible channel.'' We review the experimental techniques that are used to detect neutrinos, and revisit the expected contributions to the neutrino flux at current and upcoming neutrino experiments. We place updated constraints on the dark matter self-annhilation cross section to neutrinos $\langle \sigma v \rangle$ using the most recently available data, and forecast the sensitivity of upcoming experiments such as Hyper-Kamiokande, DUNE, and IceCube Gen-2. Where possible, limits and projections are scaled to a single set of dark matter halo parameters for consistent comparison. We consider Galactic and extragalactic signals of $s$, $p$, and $d$-wave annihilation processes directly into neutrino pairs, yielding constraints that range from $\langle \sigma v \rangle \sim 2.5\times10^{-26}~{\rm cm}^3 {\rm s}^{-1}$ at 30 MeV$/c^2$ to $10^{-17}~{\rm cm}^3{\rm s}^{-1}$ at 10$^{11}$ GeV$/c^2$. Experiments that report directional and energy information of their events provide much stronger constraints, outlining the importance of making such data public.

In supergravity models (such as standard superstring constructions) that possess a Heisenberg symmetry, supersymmetry breaking by the inflationary vacuum energy does not lift flat directions at tree level. One-loop corrections give small squared masses that are negative (about -g^2 H^2/(4\pi)^2) for all flat directions that do not involve the stop. After inflation, these flat directions generate a large baryon asymmetry; typically $n_B/s \sim$ O(1). We consider mechanisms for suppressing this asymmetry to the observed level. These include dilution from inflaton or moduli decay, GUT nonflatness of the $vev$ direction, and higher dimensional operators in both GUT models and the MSSM. We find that the observed BAU can easily be generated when one or more of these effects is present.

We found that (a) when the large enhancements from the known NLO contributions are taken into account, the NLO pQCD predictions for the branching ratios are the following: $Br(B^0 \to \jpsi K^0) = 5.2^{+3.5}_{-2.8}\times 10^{-4}$, $Br(B^+ \to \jpsi K^+) = 5.6^{+3.7}_{-2.9}\times 10^{-4}$, $Br(B^0 \to \eta_c K^0) = 5.5^{+2.3}_{-2.0}\times 10^{-4}$, $Br(B^+ \to \eta_c K^+) = 5.9^{+2.5}_{-2.1}\times 10^{-4}$, which are roughly 40% smaller than the measured values, but basically agree with the data within $2-\sigma$ errors; (b) the NLO pQCD predictions for the CP-violating asymmetries of $B \to (\jpsi,\eta_c)K$ decays agree perfectly with the data.

The $N^*(1700) (3/2^-)$ appears neatly as a pole in the complex plane. The free parameters of the theory are chosen to fit the $\pi N$ (d-wave) data. Both the real and imaginary parts of the $\pi N$ amplitude vanish in our approach in the vicinity of this resonance, similarly to what happens in experimental determinations, what makes this signal very weak in this channel. This feature could explain why this resonance does not show up in some experimental analyses, but the situation is analogous to that of the $f_0(980)$ resonance, the second scalar meson after the $\sigma (f_0(500))$ in the $\pi \pi$(d-wave) amplitude. The unitary coupled channel approach followed here, in connection with the experimental data, leads automatically to a pole in the 1700 MeV region and makes this second $3/2^-$ resonance unavoidable.

The running of the Top quark mass is considered in the nonperturbative framework of the Schwinger-Dyson equation. Based on the input of physical pole mass meassured at the Tevatron the method provides the resulting mass function which is almost constant at low spacelike and timelike scales. The skeleton loops including Standard Model Higgs and gluons are taken into account. The dominant two-loop skeleton contribution with triplet Higgs interaction is considered in addition to one loop dressed approximation of the top quark self-energy.

The skeleton loops including Standard Model Higgs and gluons are taken into account. The dominant two-loop skeleton contribution with triplet Higgs interaction is considered in addition to one loop dressed approximation of the top quark self-energy.

We obtain the renormalization group improvement of the effective potential for the Coleman-Weinberg model by resumming the leading logarithms which have three different mass scales.

We study baryogenesis at the electroweak phase transition of the universe within the framework of the supersymmetric standard model (SSM) based on N=1 supergravity. This model contains a new source of CP violation in the mass-squared matrices for squarks, which could enable $t$ squarks to mediate the charge transport mechanism for generating baryon asymmetry. The same CP-violating source also induces the electric dipole moment (EDM) of the neutron at the one-loop level. If the new CP-violating phase is not suppressed, it is shown, the $t$-squark transport can lead to baryon asymmetry consistent with its observed value within reasonable ranges of SSM parameters. For these parameter ranges the magnitude of the neutron EDM is predicted to be not much smaller than its present experimental upper bound.

Over a large fraction of phase space a combination of an operator product and heavy quark expansions effectively turn the decay $\bar B -> D^{(*)0} e+e-$ into a ``short distance'' process, i.e., one in which the weak and electromagnetic interactions occur through single local operators. These processes have an underlying W-exchange quark diagram topology and are therefore Cabibbo allowed but suppressed by combinatoric factors and short distance QCD corrections. Our technique allows a clearer exploration of these effects. For the decay $\bar B_{d,s} -> J/psi(\eta_c) e+e-$ one must use a non-relativistic (NRQCD) expansion, in addition to an operator product expansion and a heavy quark effective theory expansion. We estimate the decay rates for $\bar B_{d,s} -> J/psi e+e-$, $\bar B_{d,s} -> eta_c e+e-$, $\bar B_{d,s} -> D^{*0} e+e-$ and $\bar B_{d,s} -> D^{0} e+e-$.

A realistic extension of the minimal $SU(5)$ theory consisting of the addition of an adjoint fermion is known to predict light real fermion and scalar weak triplets, potentially accessible at the LHC. These particles, in addition to playing a key role in gauge coupling unification, have profound phenomenological implications. The fermion triplet, that through the seesaw mechanism offers a testable origin of neutrino mass, has been already extensively discussed. The scalar triplet develops a vacuum expectation value that modifies the $W$-boson mass. We show that its low-energy effective theory is remarkably predictive: in the leading approximation, all the relevant physical processes involving the scalar triplet depend only on its mass and the deviation from the Standard Model $W$-mass value.

Electric flux tubes are a well known attribute of the QCD vacuum in which they manifest confinement of electric color charges. Recently, experimental results have appeared suggesting that not only those objects persist at temperatures $T\approx T_c$ near the QCD phase transitions, but their decay is suppressed and the resulting clusters in AuAu collisions are larger than in pp (i.e. in vacuum). This correlates well with recent theoretical scenarios that view the QCD matter in the $T\approx T_{c}$ region as a dual-magnetic plasma dominated by color-magnetic monopoles. In this view the flux tubes are stabilized by dual-magnetic currents and are described by dual-magnetohydrodynamics (DMHD). In this paper we calculate classically the dissipative effects in the flux tube. Such effects are associated with rescattering and finite conductivity of the matter. We derive the DMHD solution in the presence of dissipation and then estimate the lifetime of the electric flux tubes. The conclusion of this study is that a classical treatment leads to too short of a lifetime for the flux tubes.

Dark Matter could potentially manifest itself in the form of asymmetric dark stars. In this paper we entertain the possibility of probing such asymmetric bosonic dark matter stars by the use of atomic clocks. If the dark sector connects to the standard model sector via a Higgs or photon portal, the interior of boson stars that are in a Bose-Einstein condensate state can change the values of physical constants that control the timing of atomic clock devices. Dilute asymmetric dark matter boson stars passing through the Earth can induce frequency shifts that can be observed in separated Earth based atomic clocks. This gives the opportunity to probe a class of dark matter candidates that for the moment cannot be detected with any different conventional method.

Leptonic CP violation is yet to be confirmed as an additional source of CP violation in fundamental interactions. We study the case where leptonic CP violation is spontaneous and is induced by the mixing with a heavy charged vector-like lepton (VLL). We show that the non-decoupling of this VLL is linked with the presence of CP violation and its coupling with the SM leptons are partly fixed from the SM Yukawas. Due to the large leptonic mixing angles, these couplings are typically of the same order and there is no flavor preference. Strong but not definitive constraints come from charged lepton flavor violating processes because the VLL can decouple from one or two leptonic flavors in very special points of parameter space. These special points are very sensitive to the neutrino Majorana phases.

We present a method to numerically evaluate infrared-finite one- and two-loop integrals within the Four-Dimensional Regularization/Renormalization approach, in which a small mass serves as regulator. Typical integrals exhibit a logarithmic dependence on this mass, which we extract with the aid of suitable subtraction terms that can easily be integrated analytically until the logarithmic structure is revealed. As first physical applications to test the method, we calculate QCD corrections to the decay rates of scalar and pseudoscalar Higgs bosons into two photons in the limit of an infinite top-quark mass as well as to the $\rho$ parameter.

We relate leptogenesis in a class of theories to low-energy experimental observables: quark and lepton masses and mixings. With reasonable assumptions motivated by grand unification, one can show that the CP-asymmetry parameter takes a universal form. Furthermore the dilution mass is related to the light neutrino masses. Overall, these models offer a natural explanation for a lepton asymmetry in the early universe.

This paper aims at solving several open questions in current neutrino physics: the neutrino mass hierarchy, the Dirac CP-violating phase, the absolute mass of neutrinos, the nature of neutrinos (Dirac or Majorana), the Majorana matrix, and the absolute value of the effective Majorana neutrino mass. In the research presented in this paper, we have shown that the precise definition of the mass splittings between neutrino mass eigenstates, done in the latest analysis of experimental data, can be of crucial importance for defining the nature of neutrino mass hierarchy. The Standard Model has three generations of fundamental matter particles. Three generations of the charged lepton mass show a hierarchical structure. Owing to that, there is a belief and it is considered that neutrinos may follow such a hierarchical structure. In our calculations, we have also included the latest data obtained, based on the processing of measurement results, which showed that even with such data, obtained results favor the normal neutrino mass hierarchy. As for the individual neutrino mass calculated in this paper, in today's neutrino physics it is only known that the neutrino mass scale is bounded only from above, and both the Dirac and the Majorana character of neutrinos are compatible with all observations. Among some of the questions resolved in this paper, which are related to the properties of neutrinos, a positive answer was also given to the question of whether light neutrinos are self-conjugate particles or not.

The new vector-like top partners with charge $2/3$ are a typical feature of many new physics models beyond the Standard Model (SM). We propose a search strategy for single production of top partners $T$ focusing on both the $T\to Wb$ and $T\to th$ decay channels at the Large Hadron Electron Collider (LHeC). Our analysis is based on a simplified model in which the top partner is an $SU(2)$ singlet, with couplings only to the third generation of SM quarks. We study the observability of the single $T$ through the processes $e^{+}p \to T(\to bW^{+})\bar{\nu}_{e}\to b\ell^{+}+ \not E_T^{miss}$ and $e^{+}p \to T(\to th)\bar{\nu}_{e}\to t(\to jj'b)h(\to b\bar{b}) \not E_T^{miss}$ at the LHeC with the proposed 140 GeV electron beam (with $80\%$ polarization) and 7 TeV proton beam. For three typical $T$-quark masses (800, 900 and 1000 GeV), the $3\sigma$ exclusion limits on the $TWb$ coupling are respectively presented for various values of the integrated luminosity.

In the Next-to-Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model with the inverse seesaw mechanism to generate neutrino masses, the lightest sneutrino may act as a feasible dark matter candidate in vast parameter space. In this case, the smallness of the leptonic unitarity violation and the recent XENON-1T experiment can limit the dark matter physics. In particular, they set upper bounds of the neutrino Yukawa couplings $\lambda_\nu$ and $Y_\nu$. We study such effects by encoding the constraints in a likelihood function and carrying out elaborated scans over the parameter space of the theory with the Nested Sampling algorithm. We show that these constraints are complementary to each other in limiting the theory, and in some cases, they are very strict. We also study the impact of the future LZ experiment on the theory.

In the Next-to-Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model with the inverse seesaw mechanism to generate neutrino masses, the lightest sneutrino may act as a feasible dark matter candidate in vast parameter space. In this case, the smallness of the leptonic unitarity violation and the recent XENON-1T experiment can limit the dark matter physics. In particular, they set upper bounds of the neutrino Yukawa couplings $\lambda_\nu$ and $Y_\nu$. We study such effects by encoding the constraints in a likelihood function and carrying out elaborated scans over the parameter space of the theory with the Nested Sampling algorithm. We show that these constraints are complementary to each other in limiting the theory, and in some cases, they are very strict. We also study the impact of the future LZ experiment on the theory.

Different from other multiple top-quark productions, triple top-quark production requires the presence of both flavor violating neutral interaction and flavor conserving neutral interaction. We describe the interaction of triple top-quarks and up-quark in terms of two dimension-6 operators; one can be induced by a new heavy vector resonance, the other by a scalar resonance. Combining same-sign top-quark pair production and four top-quark production, we explore the potential of the 13 TeV LHC on searching for the triple top-quark production.

We examine the allowed mass range of the lightest neutralino within the Minimal Non--minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model. Being absolutely stable if R-parity is conserved this lightest neutralino is a candidate for the dark matter of the universe. We establish the theoretical upper bound on the lightest neutralino mass and obtain an approximate solution for this mass.

The effects of nonperturbatively generated ``quark sea'' have been investigated to determine the flavor structure of the octet baryons. The chiral constituent quark model ($\chi$CQM), which is known to provide a satisfactory explanation of the proton spin and related issues in the nonperturbative regime, is able to explain the qualitative generation of the requisite amount of quark sea. The importance of quark sea has been studied at different values of the Bjorken scaling variable $x$ by including it phenomenologically in the sea quark distribution functions. The results for the quark sea asymmetries like $\bar d(x)-\bar u(x)$, $\bar d(x)/\bar u(x)$ and Gottfried integral for the octet baryons strengthen the significance of quark sea at lower values of $x$.

Flavor observables are usually computed with the help of the electroweak Hamiltonian which separates the short-distance from the long-distance regime. The Wilson coefficients are calculated perturbatively, while matrix elements of the operators require non-perturbative treatment for many processes, e.g. through lattice simulations. The resulting necessity to compute the transformation between the different renormalization schemes in the two calculations constitutes an important source of uncertainties. An elegant solution to this problem is provided by the gradient-flow formalism, already widely used in lattice simulations, because its composite operators do not require renormalization. In this contribution we report on the construction of the electroweak Hamiltonian in the gradient-flow formalism through NNLO in QCD.

The MicroBooNE experiment searched for an excess of electron-neutrinos in the Booster Neutrino Beam (BNB), providing direct constraints on $\nu_e$-interpretations of the MiniBooNE low-energy excess (LEE). In this article, we show that if the MiniBooNE LEE is caused instead by an excess of $\overline{\nu}_e$, then liquid argon detectors, such as MicroBooNE, SBND and ICARUS, would have poor sensitivity to it. This is due to a strong suppression of $\overline{\nu}_e -{}^{40}$Ar cross sections in the low-energy region of the excess. The MicroBooNE results are consistent at the $2\sigma$~C.L with a scenario in which the MiniBooNE excess is sourced entirely by $\overline{\nu}_e$ interactions. The opportune location of ANNIE, a Gd-loaded water Cherenkov detector, allows for a direct search for a $\overline{\nu}_e$ flux excess in the BNB using inverse-beta-decay events.

We present the MBR (Minimum Bias Rockefeller) Monte Carlo simulation of (anti)proton-proton interactions and its implementation in the PYTHIA8 event generator. We discuss the total, elastic, and total-inelastic cross sections, and three contributions from diffraction dissociation processes that contribute to the latter: single diffraction, double diffraction, and central diffraction or double-Pomeron exchange. The event generation follows a renormalized-Regge-theory model, successfully tested using CDF data. Based on the MBR-enhanced PYTHIA8 simulation, we present cross-section predictions for the LHC and beyond, up to collision energies of 50 TeV.

As the hint for CP violating new physics in B-> phi Ks has weakened, we reconsider the possibility of near maximal mixing between \tilde s_R-\tilde b_R squarks. Such a right-handed strange-beauty squark \widetilde{sb}_{1} can be realized by combining supersymmetry with an approximate Abelian flavor symmetry, and comes with a unique new CP violating phase from right-handed quark mixing. Naturally heavy strange-beauty squark and gluino, of order 0.5 to 1 TeV, are easily accommodated by recent time-dependent CP violation measurements in Bd -> phi K^0 and pi^0 K^0. Because of near maximal mixing, even with such heavy masses, the \widetilde{sb}_{1} and \tilde g can still strongly impact on Bs mass difference and generate CP violation in the mixing, which can still be probed at Tevatron Run II. But if the scenario is realized, the LHC will provide definitive information on the new CP phase, and possibly discover the \widetilde{sb}_{1} squark. Time-dependent CP violation in Bd -> K^{*0} gamma can be probed at the future B factory upgrades. Other b -> s decays influenced by large right-handed dynamics are also discussed.

Collider phenomenology is an essential interface between theoretical models and experimental observations, since theoretical studies inspire experimental analyses while experimental results sharpen theoretical ideas. This report -- from the Snowmass 2021 Theory Frontier topical group for Collider Phenomenology (TF07) -- showcases the dynamism, engagement, and motivations of collider phenomenologists by exposing selected exciting new directions and establishing key connections between cutting-edge theoretical advances and current and future experimental opportunities. By investing in collider phenomenology, the high-energy physics community can help ensure that theoretical advances are translated into concrete tools that enable and enhance current and future experiments, and in turn, experimental results feed into a more complete theoretical understanding and motivate new questions and explorations.

Since its inception, no decisive departure from the predictions of Standard Model (SM) has been reported. But recently various experiments have observed few hints of possible departure from SM predictions in lepton flavor universality observables such as $R_{K^{(*)}}$, $P_{5}^{'}$, muon (g-2), $R(D^{(*)})$ etc. Many of these observable where deviation from SM in the range of (2-4)$\sigma$ were observed are related to muon ($\mu$) lepton. So these deviations may be some hint of a possible New Physics (NP) in the muon sector. In this work we extend the SM by introducing two SM singlet heavy charged leptons ($F_{e},\ F_{\mu}$) whose left handed components are charged under a new $U(1)_{F}$ gauge symmetry, one color triplet lepto-quark ($\phi_{Q}$) doublet under $SU(2)_{L}$, one inert Higgs doublet ($\phi_{l}$), three very heavy Majorana neutrinos ($N_{iR}$), all of which are odd under a $Z_{2}$ discrete symmetry. One more scalar ($\phi$) charged only under the $U(1)_{F}$ whose VEV give masses to the $U(1)_{F}$ gauge boson as well as the heavy leptons. With these new particles, we show that the observed anomalies in the muon sector as well as small neutrino masses can be explained with taking into account all the other experimental and theoretical constrains till date.
