1710.11466 | Mariola Klusek-Gawenda | Mariola Klusek-Gawenda and Antoni Szczurek | New theoretical results in ultrarelativistic ultraperipheral lead-lead

Czech Republic, June 26-30, 2017 | null | null | null | hep-ph nucl-th | http://arxiv.org/licenses/nonexclusive-distrib/1.0/ | We study dilepton, proton-antiproton and diphoton production in
ultraperipheral lead-lead collisions at $\sqrt{s_{\mathrm{NN}}}$ = 5.02 and 5.5
TeV. The nuclear calculations are based on equivalent photon approximation in
the impact parameter space. For correct description of the $\gamma\gamma \to
p\bar{p} $ Belle data we include the proton-exchange, the $f_2(1270)$ and
$f_2(1950)$ s-channel exchanges, as well as the handbag mechanism. For four
muon production, we take into account electromagnetic (two-photon)
double-scattering production and direct $\gamma\gamma$ production of four muons
in one scattering. The cross sections for elementary $\gamma\gamma \to
\gamma\gamma$ subprocess are calculated including three different mechanisms:
box diagrams with leptons and quarks in the loops, a VDM-Regge contribution
with virtual intermediate hadronic excitations of the photons and the two-gluon
exchange contribution. We find that the cross section for elastic
$\gamma\gamma$ scattering could be measured in the lead-lead collisions for the
diphoton invariant mass up to $W_{\gamma\gamma} \approx$ 15 - 20 GeV. Our
Standard Model predictions are compared with a recent ATLAS experimental
result.
We discuss results for PbPb$\to$PbPb$\mu^+\mu^-\mu^+\mu^-$,
PbPb$\to$PbPb$e^+e^-e^+e^-$, PbPb$\to$PbPb$p\bar{p}$ and
PbPb$\to$PbPb$\gamma\gamma$ reactions at LHC energy.

sterile neutrinos, we also study the neutrino mass matrices dictated by the
field assignments and the discrete symmetries in these variants. We find that
all the variants can explain the excess CMS events via the exotic slepton
decay, while for a standard choice of the discrete symmetry four of the
variants have the feature of allowing high scale baryogenesis (leptogenesis).
For one other variant three body decay induced soft baryogenesis mechanism is
possible which can induce baryon number violating neutron-antineutron
oscillation. We also point out a new discrete symmetry which has the feature of
ensuring proton stability and forbidding tree level flavor changing neutral
current processes while allowing for the possibility of high scale leptogenesis
for two of the variants. On the other hand, neutrino mass matrix of the
$U(1)_{N}$ model variants naturally accommodates three active and two sterile
neutrinos which acquire masses through their mixing with extra neutral fermions
giving rise to interesting textures for neutrino masses.

self-scattering due to $\chi$ and $\xi$ collision is essentially possible in
any 2DM models. This new introduced scattering naturally weaves the evolution
processes of the two DM species that was assumed to evolve independently.
Moreover, the heterogeneous self-scattering enhances the number of DM being
captured in the Sun mutually. This effect significantly exists in a broad range
of DM mass spectrum. We have studied this phenomena and its implication for the
solar-captured DM annihilation rate. It would be crucial to the DM indirect
detection when the two masses are close. General formalism of the 2DM evolution

polarized inclusive and semi-inclusive deep-inelastic scattering measurements
at small $x$. The analysis demonstrates an excellent agreement between the
evolution and the data, but its predictions contain large uncertainties owing
to the large number of free parameters in the initial conditions. The latest
development aims to mitigate this issue by employing the valence quark model in
the polarized proton target in order to replace most of the free parameters in
the initial conditions by the physical information from the proton model.

expectation from proton-proton (p-p) collisions expressed as the nuclear
modification factor R_AA is experimentally well established and can be traced
back to interactions between the hard parton shower and the soft bulk matter.
Physical intuition suggests that the medium modification should cease to be
important when the hard scale of parton production is much larger than the
typical momentum scale in the medium (e.g. the temperature T) and that
consequently R_AA(P_T) -> 1 for P_T >> T. However, R_AA is not a 'simple'
observable, but rather results from many different mechanisms which influence
what happens when P_T increases. In particular, R_AA does not necessarily
approch unity even if the hadron momentum is probed at the kinematic limit of
the reaction. The aim of this work is to identify and discuss such mechanisms
and to present different model expectations of what one would find if one could
measure suppression out to the kinematic limit for hard hadron production and
give predictions for the P_T dependence at both RHIC and LHC.

potential for the "invisible" QCD axion, via the Peccei-Quinn symmetry, which
constitutes a major part of this review. Even if there is no breaking terms
from gauge anomalies, there can be explicit breaking terms $\Delta V$ in the
potential in which case the leading term suppressed by $f$ determines the
pseudoscalar mass scale. If the breaking term is extremely small and the decay
constant is trans-Planckian, the corresponding pseudoscalar can be a candidate
for a `quintessential axion'. In general, $(\Delta V)^{1/4}$ is considered to
be smaller than $f$, and hence the pseudo-Goldstone boson mass scales are
considered to be smaller than the decay constants. In such a case, the
potential of the pseudo-Goldstone boson at the grand unification scale is
sufficiently flat near the top of the potential that it can be a good candidate
for an inflationary model, which is known as `natural inflation'. We review all

We study non-universal boundary conditions for the scalar and the gaugino

find a significant reduction of fine-tuning for non-universal gaugino masses.
For a Higgs mass of about 125 GeV, as observed recently, we find parameter
regions with a fine-tuning of O(10), taking into account experimental and
theoretical uncertainties. These regions also survive after comparison with
simplified model searches in ATLAS and CMS. For a fine-tuning less than 20 the
lightest neutralino is expected to be lighter than about 400 GeV and the
lighter stop can be as heavy as 3.5 TeV. On the other hand, the gluino mass is
required to be above 1.5 TeV. For non-universal gaugino masses, we discuss
which fixed GUT scale ratios can lead to a reduced fine-tuning and find that
the recent Higgs results have a strong impact on which ratio is favoured. We
also discuss the naturalness of GUT scale Yukawa relations, comparing the

shown that the LF-LFWFs get narrower in $x$ (the longitudinal momentum fraction

leading twist parton distribution amplitudes (PDAs) inherit this feature.
Meanwhile, we find in the pion the LF-LFWFs only contribute around 30\% to the

GUT threshold correction to the universal Higgs mass parameter can significantly reduce the fine-tuning required for such large values of $\tanb$. We also point out that the top quark mass can play a crucial role in explaining the hierarchy between the SUSY breaking scale and the electro-weak scale and, hence, the naturalness of large values of $\tanb$. |

favourable combination of LMA-Light sector of $\theta_{12}$ (i.e.,
$\theta_{12}< 45^o$) with normal mass ordering decreases the coherence in the
system in comparison to the SM prediction for all values of neutrino energy E
and CP violating phase $\delta$ (except in the narrow region around E ~ 2 GeV).
On the other hand, a large enhancement in the value of coherence parameter in
the entire $(E-\delta)$ plane is possible for the dark octant of $\theta_{12}$
($\theta_{12}> 45^o$) with inverted ordering. For almost all values of CP
violating phase, the enhancement is more protuberant in the region around E ~ 4
GeV where maximum neutrino flux is expected in the DUNE experiment. Therefore
for the normal mass ordering, the SM interaction provides favourable conditions
for quantum information tasks while the NSI favours inverted ordering scenario

changes in the transport cross section. As a result, relative to that in the

two powers of the Polyakov loop. In a semiclassical expansion, the suppression
of colored fields depends only upon which color representation they lie in, and

medium. The modifications can be inferred from the comparison between the
electromagnetic form factors in medium with the respective form factor in
vacuum. Of particular interest is the ratio between the electric and magnetic
form factors in medium ($G_E^*/G_M^*$) and vacuum ($G_E/G_M$) of the octet
baryon. The deviation of the double ratios ($G_E^*/G_M^*)/(G_E/G_M)$ from unity
measures the impact of the medium modification of the electromagnetic structure
in a nuclear medium. Measurements of the double ratios
$(G_E^*/G_M^*)/(G_E/G_M)$ for different nuclear densities may become available
in a near future using the polarization-transfer method developed at Jefferson
Lab. We present estimates of the double ratios of octet baryons based on a
covariant constituent quark model, which takes into account pion cloud
excitations of the baryon cores,for different nuclear densities. Our results
manifest different features, namely, enhancement or quenching depending on the
baryon flavor content.

] | The electromagnetic structure of the baryons is modified in the nuclear medium. The modifications can be inferred from the comparison between the electromagnetic form factors in medium with the respective form factor in vacuum. Of particular interest is the ratio between the electric and magnetic form factors in medium ($G_E^*/G_M^*$) and vacuum ($G_E/G_M$) of the octet baryon. The deviation of the double ratios ($G_E^*/G_M^*)/(G_E/G_M)$ from unity measures the impact of the medium modification of the electromagnetic structure in a nuclear medium. Measurements of the double ratios $(G_E^*/G_M^*)/(G_E/G_M)$ for different nuclear densities may become available in a near future using the polarization-transfer method developed at Jefferson Lab. We present estimates of the double ratios of octet baryons based on a covariant constituent quark model, which takes into account pion cloud excitations of the baryon cores,for different nuclear densities. Our results manifest different features, namely, enhancement or quenching depending on the baryon flavor content. |

restricted to Gaussian initial states. However, physical initial states are
non-Gaussian correlated initial states. In particular, renormalizability
requires the initial state to feature n-point correlations that asymptotically
agree with the vacuum correlations at short distances. In order to identify
physical nonequilibrium initial states, it is therefore a precondition to
describe the vacuum correlations of the interacting theory within the

released the measurements of the $e^+ e^- \to \omega\pi^0$ and $e^+ e^- \to

to study the isovector $\rho$ meson family. In this work, through carrying out
a combined analysis of the Born cross section data for the above two processes
with the theoretical support on mass spectrum, and production and strong decay
behaviors of the $\rho$ meson family around 2.0 GeV, we identify the
enhancement structure near 2034 MeV observed in $e^+e^-\to\omega\pi^0$ to be
the interference contribution from two resonances $\rho(1900)$ and
$\rho(2150)$, and another enhancement structure at 2111 MeV reported in
$e^+e^-\to\rho\eta^{\prime}$ to be the contributions from $\rho(2000)$ and
$\rho(2150)$. This conclusion means that the $e^+e^-\to\omega\pi^0$ and
$e^+e^-\to\rho \eta^{\prime}$ are the excellent golden channels to establish
$\rho(1900)$ and $\rho(2000)$, especially for a $D$-wave state $\rho(2000)$,
whose experimental search in the $e^+e^-$ collision should be quite
challenging. The relevant cross section measurements with higher precision are

$\sin\theta_{13}$ in Different Mixing Matrix Parametrizations | 14 pages, 10 figures, 3 tables | null | null | null | hep-ph | http://arxiv.org/licenses/nonexclusive-distrib/1.0/ | Hints for sizable $\sin^2 \theta_{13}$ have been reported in earlier global
neutrino oscillation data analyses as well as will be reported in this work,
and quite recently by the Double Chooz experiment. However, as we enter the era
of precision neutrino oscillation experiments, terms linear in
$\sin\theta_{13}$ will no longer be negligible, and its sign would affect the
extraction of other oscillation parameters. The sign of $\sin\theta_{13}$ also
plays a crucial role in the determination of the CP-violating phase. In this
work we show that by adopting an alternative parametrization for the
Pontecorvo-Maki-Nakagawa-Sakata (PMNS) mixing matrix, one already has a chance
to infer the sign of each mixing angle in the conventional parametrization
using existing global neutrino data. A weak preference for negative $\sin
\theta_{13}$ is found. In particular, the solar data suggest that
$\sin\theta_{13} > 0$ while all other data the opposite. This leads to the
speculation on whether the Mikheyev-Smirnov-Wolfenstein (MSW) effect is
responsible. In this work we found that in the new mixing matrix
parametrization, the 68% CL constraints on the three mixing angles are
comparable to those estimated in the conventional parametrization adopted in
the literature. Owing to the strong correlations among the three mixing angles
in the new parametrization, the advantages of doing the global neutrino
oscillation analysis using data from past, current, and near future neutrino
oscillation experiments shall become manifest.

This leads to the speculation on whether the Mikheyev-Smirnov-Wolfenstein (MSW) effect is responsible. In this work we found that in the new mixing matrix parametrization, the 68% CL constraints on the three mixing angles are comparable to those estimated in the conventional parametrization adopted in the literature. Owing to the strong correlations among the three mixing angles in the new parametrization, the advantages of doing the global neutrino oscillation analysis using data from past, current, and near future neutrino oscillation experiments shall become manifest. |

temperature in the presence of a magnetic field. From the vertex function we
extract the effective quark-gluon coupling and show that it grows with
increasing magnetic field strength. The effect is due to a subtle competition
between the color charge associated to gluons and the color charge associated
to quarks, the former being larger than the latter. In contrast, at high
temperature the effective thermo-magnetic coupling results exclusively from the
contribution of the color charge associated to quarks. This produces a decrease
of the coupling with increasing field strength. We interpret the results in
terms of a geometrical effect whereby the magnetic field induces, on average, a
closer distance between the (electrically charged) quarks and antiquarks. At
high temperature, since the effective coupling is proportional only to the
color charge associated to quarks, such proximity with increasing field
strength makes the effective coupling decrease due to asymptotic freedom. In
turn, this leads to a decreasing quark condensate. In contrast, at zero
temperature both the effective strong coupling and the quark condensate
increase with increasing magnetic field. This is due to the color charge
associated to gluons dominating over that associated to quarks, with both
having the opposite sign. Thus, the gluons induce a kind of screening of the
quark color charge, in spite of the quark-antiquark proximity. The implications
of these results for the inverse magnetic catalysis phenomenon are discussed.

Using this idea, we calculate the jet quenching parameter of a gluon. The

At the LHC-relevant temperatures, the result depends on the gluon condensate,
the vacuum correlation length, and the gluon Debye mass. Numerically, when the
temperature varies from T=T_c to T=900 MeV, the jet quenching parameter rises
from \hat q=0 to approximately 1.8 GeV^2/fm. We compare our results with the

Standard Model (MSSM) with complex parameters. We have performed a detailed
numerical analysis for a particular point in the parameter space and found
corrections of a few tenths of a percent. We provide a computer program which
calculates chargino and neutralino masses with complex parameters including the
one-loop corrections and all two-loop SQCD effects.

two-flavor Nambu--Jona-Lasinio (NJL) model. It is found that, in the rotating
frame, the angular velocity plays the similar role as the baryon chemical
potential and suppresses the chiral condensate, thus the chiral phase
transition shows a critical end point not only in the temperature-chemical
potential $T-\mu$ plane, but also in the temperature-angular momentum
$T-\omega$ plane. One interesting observation is that in the $T-\mu$ plane, the
presence of the angular momentum only shifts down the critical temperature
$T^E$ of the CEP and does not shift the critical chemical potential $\mu^E$,
and in the $T-\omega$ plane, the increase of the chemical potential only shift
down the critical temperature $T^E$ and does not change the critical angular
momentum $\omega^E$. The phase structure in the $T-\mu$ plane is sensitive to
the coupling strength in the vector channel, while the phase structure in
$T-\omega$ plane is not. It is also observed that the rotating angular velocity
suppresses the kurtosis of the baryon number fluctuations, while it enhances
the pressure density, energy density, the specific heat and the sound velocity.

involving sleptons. We consider the framework of general gauge mediated
supersymmetry breaking, focusing on models where the low mass region of the
superpartner spectrum consists of the three generations of charged sleptons and
the nearly massless gravitino. We demonstrate how such models can provide an
explanation for the anomalous four lepton events recently observed by the CMS
collaboration, while satisfying other existing experimental constraints. The
best fit to the CMS data is obtained for a selectron/smuon mass of around 145
GeV and a stau mass of around 90 GeV. These models also give rise to final
states with more than four leptons, offering alternative channels in which they
can be probed and we estimate the corresponding production rates at the LHC.
