sector decays to right-handed neutrinos is considered. An upper bound on the
reheating temperature $T_{\rm R} \lsim 2\times 10^{11}~(1\times 10^{13})$ GeV,

quantum corrections to the inflation potential. This may push the neutrino
Yukawa couplings to be ${\cal O}(1)$ and affect the vacuum stability. We show
that the couplings of the SM Higgs to the inflation sector can guarantee the
electroweak vacuum stability up to the Planck scale. The so-called hybrid
Higgs-inflaton model leads to a positive correction for the Higgs quartic

predicts large collisional widths of partons generated by dynamically formed
hadronic resonance states which lead to transport parameters characteristic for
a strongly coupled system. The quark chemical potential dependence is
implemented into the propagators and the in-medium color potential, where two
newly introduced parameters for the thermal and screening masses are fixed

we calculate heavy-light susceptibilities without further tuning; the results
qualitatively agree with the lattice-QCD (lQCD) data for both $\chi^{uc}_{11}$

significant content of broad $D$-meson and charm-light diquark bound states in

] | The calculation of the two-loop corrections to the three-jet production rate and to event shapes in electron--positron annihilation requires the computation of a number of two-loop four-point master integrals with one off-shell and three on-shell legs. Up to now, only those master integrals corresponding to planar topologies were known. In this paper, we compute the yet outstanding non-planar master integrals by solving differential equations in the external invariants which are fulfilled by these master integrals. We obtain the master integrals as expansions in $\e=(4-d)/2$, where $d$ is the space-time dimension. The fully analytic results are expressed in terms of the two-dimensional harmonic polylogarithms already introduced in the evaluation of the planar topologies. |

by DGLAP equations with nonlinear corrections in this work. The Fermi motion

taken into account together for modeling the complicated $x$-dependence of
nuclear modification. The nuclear gluon shadowing in this paper is dynamically
generated by the QCD evolution of parton splitting and recombination processes
with zero gluon density at the input scale. Sophisticated nuclear dependence of
nuclear medium effects is studied with only two free parameters. With the
obtained free parameters from the global analysis, the nuclear modifications of
parton distribution functions of unmeasured nuclei can be predicted in our

the $\bar{K}N$ bound states and/or resonances. The model potential consists of
the t-channel and s-channel one-gluon exchange potentials and the confining
potential with incorporating the QCD renormalization correction and the
spin-orbital suppression effect in it. It was shown in our previous work that
by considering the color octet contribution, use of this model to investigate
the $KN$ low energy elastic scattering leads to the results which are in pretty
good agreement with the experimental data. In this paper, the same model and
method are employed to calculate the masses of the $\bar{K}N$ bound systems.
For this purpose, the resonating group equation is transformed into a standard
Schr\"odinger equation in which a nonlocal effective $\bar{K}N$ interaction
potential is included. Solving the Schr\"odinger equation by the variational
method, we are able to reproduce the masses of some currently concerned
$\bar{K}N$ states and get a view that these states possibly exist as $\bar{K}N$
molecular states. For the $KN$ system, the same calculation gives no support to
the existence of the resonance $\Theta ^{+}(1540)$ which was announced

the elastic proton-proton scattering amplitude with energy, and leads to the
migration of the secondary particles produced in high-energy proton-proton

role of processes containing large rapidity gaps (LRG), and the probability
that the gaps survive population by secondaries produced in additional soft
interactions. We explain how the Regge diagram corresponding to a LRG event
simultaneously describes events with different (single, double, etc.) particle

enhanced, multi-Pomeron diagrams can be studied by measuring multiplicity
fluctuations and long-range rapidity correlations between secondaries produced
at the Tevatron and the LHC. Finally, we make a list of the characteristic

which in the case of Cherenkov detectors enters as a quasielastic cross
section, increasing the mean neutrino energy which can differ appreciably from
the reconstructed value. As an application we derive, for excess electron
events attributed to the conversion of muon neutrinos, the true neutrino energy
distribution based on the experimental one which is given in terms of the

the interpretation in terms of oscillation. For T2K at the Super Kamiokande far

on the EMC-SMC-SLAC `proton spin' effect is reviewed. This uses a novel

For polarised $\mu p$ scattering, the composite operator propagator is equated
to the square root of the first moment of the QCD topological susceptibility,
$\sqrt{\chi^\prime(0)}$. We evaluate $\chi^\prime(0)$ using QCD spectral sum
rules and find a significant suppression relative to its OZI expectation. This
is identified as the source of the violation of the Ellis-Jaffe sum rule for
the first moment of the polarised proton structure function $g_1^p$. Our

$\Delta\Sigma =0.353\pm 0.052$, are in excellent agreement with the new SMC
data. This supports our earlier conjecture that the suppression in the flavour
singlet component of the first moment of $g_1^p$ is a target-independent
feature of QCD related to the $U(1)$ anomaly and is not a special property of

The rules yield expressions in agreement with previously-obtained results for Z,W,\gamma^* --> qbar q + n gluons (analytically up to n=3, beyond via the Berends--Giele recursion relations). We also confirm that the contribution to a seven-point amplitude containing the non-abelian triple vector-boson coupling obtained using the next-to-MHV currents matches the previous result in the literature. |

Super-Kamiokande, IceCube and Antares that we use to set constraints and show
prospects of detection. In the NMSSM+RHN, assuming a gluino mass parameter $M_3

We show that it is possible to lift the GIM suppression if the canonical seesaw
mechanism of neutrino mass generation, which allows V to be slightly
non-unitary, is taken into account. In view of current experimental constraints
on the non-unitarity of V, we find that the effective electromagnetic

allow to describe experimental slopes in all available energy range reasonably.
