the thermodynamics of quantum chromodynamics. The dynamics of the gluons
generating the Polyakov-loop potential is altered by the presence of dynamical
quarks. However, this backreaction of the quarks has not yet been taken into

within a 2+1 flavour Polyakov-quark-meson model that a quark-improved
Polyakov-loop potential leads to a smoother transition between the
low-temperature hadronic phase and the high-temperature quark-gluon plasma
phase. In particular, we discuss the dependence of our results on the remaining
uncertainties that are the critical temperature and the parametrisation of the
Polyakov-loop potential as well as the mass of the sigma-meson.

assumption of the Standard Model. So far our best knowledge of $V_{tb}$ is
inferred either from the $3\times 3$ unitarity of CKM matrix or from single
top-quark productions upon the assumption of universal weak couplings. The
unitarity could be relaxed in new physics models with extra heavy quarks and
the universality of weak couplings could also be broken if the $Wtb$ coupling
is modified in new physics models. In this work we propose to measure $V_{tb}$

of fermion generations or the strength of the $Wtb$ coupling. Using an
effective Lagrangian approach, we perform a model-independent analysis of the
interactions among electroweak gauge bosons and the third generation quarks,
i.e. the $Wtb$, $Zt\bar{t}$ and $Zb\bar{b}$ couplings. The electroweak symmetry
of the Standard Model specifies a pattern of deviations of the $Z$-$t_L$-$t_L$

constraint on the $Z$-$b_L$-$b_L$ coupling. We demonstrate that, making use of
the predicted pattern and the accurate measurements of top-quark mass and width
from the energy threshold scan experiments, one can determine $V_{tb}$ from the
cross section and the forward-backward asymmetry of top-quark pair production

We found that this contribution is very important and results in a lower bound for the muon flux from the Sun of 10^{-7} - 10^{-8} m^{-2} yr^{-1} for neutralinos heavier than 200 GeV. We noticed that due to the SUSY charged Higgs bosons one can expect an energetic tau neutrino flux from the Sun at a level of 10^2 m^{-2} yr^{-1}. |

updated analysis by LHCb. In this work we extend our previous coupled-channel
approach [Phys. Rev. Lett. \bf{124}, 072001 (2020)] by including the
$\Lambda_c\bar{D}^{(*)}$ and $\eta_cp$ as explicitly in addition to the $J/\psi
p$, as required by unitarity and heavy quark spin symmetry (HQSS). Since
inelastic parameters are very badly constrained by the current data, three
schemes are considered: (a) scheme I with pure contact interactions and without
the $\Lambda_c\bar D^{(*)}$ interactions, (b) scheme II, where the one-pion
exchange is added to scheme I, and (c) scheme III, where the $\Lambda_c \bar
D^{(*)}$ are included in addition. It is shown that to obtain cutoff
independent results, OPE in the multichannel system is to be supplemented with
$S$-$D$ mixing contact terms. We demonstrate that the experimental data for the
$J/\psi p$ invariant mass distribution are consistent with the interpretation
of the $P_c(4312)$ and $P_c(4440)/P_c(4457)$ as $\Sigma_c\bar{D}$ and $\Sigma_c
\bar{D}^{*}$ hadronic molecules, respectively, and that the data show clear
evidence for a new narrow $P_c(4380)$, as a $\Sigma_c^*\bar D$ molecule, which
should exist as a consequence of HQSS. While two equally good solutions are
found in scheme I, only one of these solutions with the quantum numbers of the
$P_c(4440)$ and $P_c(4457)$ being $J^P=3/2^-$ and $1/2^-$, respectively,
survives the requirement of regulator independence once the OPE is included.
Moreover, we predict the line shapes in the elastic and inelastic channels and
demonstrate that those related to the $P_c(4440)$ and the $P_c(4457)$ in the
corresponding $\Sigma_c^{(*)}\bar{D}$ and $\eta_cp$ mass distributions allow
one to confirm the quantum numbers given above, once the data are available.

Lett. \bf{124}, 072001 (2020)] by including the $\Lambda_c\bar{D}^{(*)}$ and $\eta_cp$ as explicitly in addition to the $J/\psi p$, as required by unitarity and heavy quark spin symmetry (HQSS). Since inelastic parameters are very badly constrained by the current data, three schemes are considered: (a) scheme I with pure contact interactions and without the $\Lambda_c\bar D^{(*)}$ interactions, (b) scheme II, where the one-pion exchange is added to scheme I, and (c) scheme III, where the $\Lambda_c \bar D^{(*)}$ are included in addition. It is shown that to obtain cutoff independent results, OPE in the multichannel system is to be supplemented with $S$-$D$ mixing contact terms. We demonstrate that the experimental data for the $J/\psi p$ invariant mass distribution are consistent with the interpretation of the $P_c(4312)$ and $P_c(4440)/P_c(4457)$ as $\Sigma_c\bar{D}$ and $\Sigma_c \bar{D}^{*}$ hadronic molecules, respectively, and that the data show clear evidence for a new narrow $P_c(4380)$, as a $\Sigma_c^*\bar D$ molecule, which should exist as a consequence of HQSS. While two equally good solutions are found in scheme I, only one of these solutions with the quantum numbers of the $P_c(4440)$ and $P_c(4457)$ being $J^P=3/2^-$ and $1/2^-$, respectively, survives the requirement of regulator independence once the OPE is included. Moreover, we predict the line shapes in the elastic and inelastic channels and demonstrate that those related to the $P_c(4440)$ and the $P_c(4457)$ in the corresponding $\Sigma_c^{(*)}\bar{D}$ and $\eta_cp$ mass distributions allow one to confirm the quantum numbers given above, once the data are available. |

presence of Majorana neutrinos in the mass range $\sim 100 \mev$ to $5 \gev$,
the rates for these processes would be enhanced due to their resonant

compare them to the current bounds from direct experimental searches for

resonant production of a Majorana neutrino in the $\mu^\pm \mu^\pm$ modes in
the mass range of $\sim 10 - 180 {\gev} (10 - 120 {\gev})$. This reach can be
extended to $\sim 10 - 375 {\gev} (10 - 250 mbox{\gev})$ at the LHC of 14 TeV

presented for comparison. We study the $\mu^\pm e^\pm$ modes as well and find
that the signal could be large enough even taking into account the current
bound from neutrinoless double-beta decay. The signal from the gauge boson
fusion channel $W^+ W^+\to \ell^+_1 \ell^+_2$ at the LHC is found to be very
weak given the rather small mixing parameters. We comment on the search

in the two dimensional space of parameters for which the energy of two
asymptotically separated vortices equals the energy of the vortices at
vanishing separation. This suggests that the inter-vortex potential for Z_3
strings might be flat for these couplings, much like the case of U(1) strings
in the Bogomolnyi limit. However, we argue that the intervortex potential is
attractive at short distances and repulsive at large separations leading to the
possibility of unstable bound states of Z_3 vortices.

CMB informs us that it must be Majorana/pseudo-Dirac in nature to avoid
temperature-independent $s$-wave annihilation to SM states. How does this fit
into a more complete picture with the SM? A first step along this path may not
lie far away in energy due to the RGE running of the dark gauge coupling which
can becomes non-perturbative before the $\sim 10$'s of TeV range. This implies
that $U(1)_D$ must become embedded in a non-Abelian group, $G_D$, before this
occurs. The breaking of this group then produces the PM masses and the heavy
gauge fields associated with $G_D$ lead to new interactions between the SM and
the dark sector. In the past we have examined a set of distinctive
phenomenological features associated with this setup, based upon a number of
simplifying assumptions. It behooves us to explore the impact of these

In past analyses we assumed that DM is a VL, complex singlet under $G_D$. If
this assumption is relaxed, the dark sector must be augmented by additional
fermion(s) and the scalar fields needed to break the symmetries while
generating the needed Majorana-like mass terms for the DM. Here we analyze the
simplest extension of this kind wherein the DM lies in a VL doublet of $G_D$,
which we take to have the structure $SU(2)_I\times U(1)_{Y_I}$, leading to new
phenomenology. We find that given the current LHC search constraints on the
masses of heavy gauge bosons, the production of these new dark states with
large rates is unlikely at colliders unless they are produced singly in

] | Flavour changing neutral current (FCNC) transitions $c\to u\gamma$ and $c\to ul^+l^-$ are very rare in the standard model and present an interesting probe for the physics beyond it. We study long distance contamination to these short distance processes in different hadron decays. As the most suitable probe for $c\to u\gamma$ transition we propose $B_c\to B_u^*\gamma$ decay. Its detection at the branching ratio well above $10^{-8}$ would signal new physics. The $c\to ul^+l^-$ transition may be probed at high $m_{ll}$ in $D\to \pi l^+l^-$. The decays $D\to V\gamma$ and $D\to Vl^+l^-$ ($V$ is a light vector meson) are less suitable, since they are dominated by the long distance effects. |

We present results which show the strong dependence of such contribution on
$\tan\beta$ and $M_{H^{\pm}}$. We show that in the region $50 \leq \tan\beta

experimental constraint on the involved model parameters $M_{H^{\pm}} \geq 1.5

diagrams to the cross section of the charged current inclusive $\nu_{\tau}
{\cal N}$ collision can become important. We obtain that this contribution for
an inclusive dispersion generated through the collision of an ultrahigh energy
tau-neutrino with $E_{\nu} \approx 10^{20}$ eV on a target nucleon can be
larger than the value of the contribution of the $W^{\pm}$ exchange diagrams,
provided that $M_{H^{\pm}} \approx 300$ GeV and $\tan\beta \approx 200$. Such
enhancement and the induced variation on the mean inelasticity $<y >^{CC}$
could lead to sizeable effects in the acceptance of cosmic tau-neutrino
detectors at experiments such as HiRes, PAO, and the CRTNT, which are anchored
to the ground, and at experiments such as EUSO and OWL, which are proposed to

We present a calculation of the differential cross section for production of a

{\it matched} calculation includes the QCD enhancement of the cross section
around the $t\bar{t}$ production threshold and remains valid in the continuum
well above the threshold. The uncertainty in the top mass determination is
evaluated in realistic operating scenarios for the Compact Linear Collider

uncertainty and the theoretical and experimental systematic uncertainties. With
this method, the top quark mass can be determined with a precision of $110$ MeV
in the initial stage of CLIC, with $1$ ab$^{-1}$ at $\sqrt{s} =$ 380 GeV, and
with a precision of approximately $150$ MeV at the ILC, with $L = 4$ ab$^{-1}$

mirage mediation, which are two recently proposed "mixed" supersymmetry
breaking scenarios motivated from string compactifications. The scenarios
differ in that deflected mirage mediation includes contributions from gauge
mediation in addition to the contributions from gravity mediation and anomaly
mediation also present in mirage mediation. The threshold effects from gauge
mediation can drastically alter the low energy spectrum from that of pure
mirage mediation models, resulting in some cases in a squeezed gaugino spectrum
and a gluino that is much lighter than other colored superpartners. We provide
several benchmark deflected mirage mediation models and construct model lines
as a function of the gauge mediation contributions, and discuss their discovery
potential at the LHC.

the leading IR renormalon ambiguity is formally an

However, in both the R-scheme designed to cancel the leading IR renormalon and
the typically used RI/MOM scheme in lattice QCD for the same quasi-PDF, we find
good convergence in the kernel based on three-loop bubble-chain diagram

measurement and the Standard Model prediction of the CP asymmetry in $\tau\to

Belle II, we revisit this observable in this paper. Firstly, we reproduce the
known CP asymmetry due to $K^0 -\bar{K}^0$ mixing by means of the reciprocal
basis, which is convenient when a $K_{S(L)}$ is involved in the final state. As
the $K\pi$ tensor form factor plays a crucial role in generating a non-zero
direct CP asymmetry that can arise only from the interference of vector and
tensor operators, we then present a dispersive representation of this form
factor, with its phase obtained in the context of chiral theory with
resonances, which fulfills the requirements of unitarity and analyticity.
Finally, the $\tau\to K_S\pi\nu_\tau$ decays are analyzed both within a
model-independent low-energy effective theory framework and in a scalar
leptoquark scenario. It is observed that the CP anomaly can be accommodated in
the model-independent framework, even at the $1\sigma$ level, together with the
constraint from the branching ratio of $\tau^-\to K_S\pi^-\nu_\tau$ decay; it
can be, however, marginally reconciled only at the $2\sigma$ level, due to the
specific relation between the scalar and tensor operators in the scalar
leptoquark scenario. Once the combined constraints from the branching ratio and
the decay spectrum of this decay are taken into account, these possibilities
are however both excluded, even without exploiting further the stronger bounds
from the (semi-)leptonic kaon decays under the assumption of lepton-flavour
universality, as well as from the neutron electric dipole moment and
$D-\bar{D}$ mixing under the assumption of $SU(2)$ invariance of the weak

In this letter we study systematically the 1-loop running of the coupling
constants in effective vacua emerging from Z8 heterotic orbifold
compactifications that provide the matter spectrum of the MSSM plus some
vectorlike exotics, restricting to vacua that yield a non-anomalous U(1)'
symmetry, gauge coupling unification and the observed values of known gauge
couplings. We determine the low-energy value of the U(1)' coupling constant for
different scales of supersymmetry breakdown. We find that the U(1)' coupling
constant is quite restricted in string models to lie in the range 0.46-0.7 for
low-scale supersymmetry or 0.44-0.6 in other cases. We argue that the
phenomenology of these string vacua should be further explored to solve some
extant issues, such as the stability of the Higgs vacuum.

$Z^{\prime}$ and $\gamma^{\prime}$ bosons at hadron colliders in single top
quark and $\mu^{+}\nu_{\mu}$ production and Drell-Yan processes assuming these
particles to be the Kaluza-Klein excitations of the gauge bosons of the
Standard Model. In this case any process mediated by $W$ is also mediated by
the whole KK tower of its excitations, whereas to the processes mediated by $Z$
and $\gamma$ there is not only a contribution from their KK towers, but also
from that of the graviton. The contributions of the towers above $W^{\prime}$,
$Z^{\prime}$ and $\gamma^{\prime}$ and above the first excitation of the
graviton are included with the help of effective four-fermion Lagrangians. We
compute the cross-sections of these processes taking into account the
contributions of the Standard Model gauge bosons, of their first KK modes and
of the corresponding KK towers and discuss the impact of the interference
between them. For pp-collisions at the LHC with the center of mass energy 14
TeV we found specific changes of the distribution tails due to the interference
effects. Such a modification of distribution tails is characteristic for the
processes mediated by particles coming from extra dimensions and should always
be taken into account when looking for them.
