The next-to-minimal supersymmetric extension of the Standard Model (NMSSM) is one of the most favored supersymmetric models. After an introduction to the model, the Higgs sector and the neutralino sector are discussed in detail. Theoretical, experimental, and cosmological constraints are studied. Eventually, the Higgs potential is investigated in the approach of bilinear functions. Emphasis is placed on aspects which are different from the minimal supersymmetric extension.

The unintegrated quark and gluon distributions in the pion and nucleon are analysed using the CCFM equations in the single-loop approximation. We utilise the transverse-coordinate (or impact-parameter) representation which diagonalises the equations and study in detail the dependence on the transverse coordinate induced by the CCFM evolution. We find considerable broadening of the transverse-momentum distributions with an increasing magnitude of the hard scale, Q. For instance, at the Bjorken x=0.1 the root mean squared transverse momentum of the gluons is enhanced by about 1 GeV when evolved from the the initial low scale to Q^2=10 GeV^2, and by about 2 GeV when evolved up to Q^2=100 GeV^2. The broadening effect is enhanced with decreasing Bjorken x, and is stronger for the gluons than for the quarks. Analytic solution for the average transverse momentum corresponding to the x-moments of the distributions is obtained. The parton luminosities are also discussed.

We discuss the potential to constrain the small-$x$ PDFs using the exclusive production of heavy vector mesons. The calculation of $J/\psi$ and $\Upsilon$ photoproduction at NLO in collinear factorisation is described. The different behaviour of the NLO corrections for $J/\psi$ and $\Upsilon$ is highlighted and we outline what might be expected from the inclusion of these processes in a PDF fit.

Applying the three axiomatic criteria of Lorentz invariance, analyticity and unitarity to scattering amplitudes involving the Goldstone bosons and the Higgs boson, we derive a general sum rule for the Strongly Interacting Light Higgs Lagrangian. This sum rule connects the IR coefficient $c_H$ to the UV properties of the theory, and can be used, for instance, to capture the role of resonances in processes like $V_{\rm L}V_{\rm L}\to hh$ and $V_{\rm L}V_{\rm L}\to V_{\rm L}V_{\rm L}$, with $V=W^{\pm},Z$.

We compute the hadronic light-by-light scattering contributions to the muon anomalous magnetic moment, $\amulbl$, in chiral perturbation theory that are enhanced by large logarithms and a factor of $N_C$. They depend on a low-energy constant entering pseudoscalar meson decay into a charged lepton pair. The uncertainty introduced by this constant is $\pm 60\times 10^{-11}$, which is comparable in magnitude to the present uncertainty entering the leading-order vacuum polarization contributions to the anomalous moment. It may be reduced to some extent through an improved measurement of the $\pi^0\to e^+ e^-$ branching ratio. However, the dependence of $\amulbl$ on non-logarithmically enhanced effects cannot be constrained except through the measurement of the anomalous moment itself. The extraction of information on new physics would require a future experimental value for the anomalous moment differing significantly from the 2001 result reported by the E821 collaboration.

We introduce functional methods to study the non-equilibrium dynamics of a quantum massless scalar field at finite temperature in a gravitational field. We calculate the Close Time Path (CTP) effective action and, using its formal equivalence with the influence functional, derive the noise and dissipation kernels of the quantum open system in terms of quantities in thermodynamical equilibrium. Using this fact, we formally prove the existence of a Fluctuation-Dissipation Relation (FDR) at all temperatures between the quantum fluctuations of the plasma in thermal equilibrium and the energy dissipated by the external gravitational field. What is new is the identification of a stochastic source (noise) term arising from the quantum and thermal fluctuations in the plasma field, and the derivation of a Langevin-type equation which describes the non-equilibrium dynamics of the gravitational field influenced by the plasma. The back reaction of the plasma on the gravitational field is embodied in the FDR. From the CTP effective action the contribution of the quantum scalar field to the thermal graviton polarization tensor can also be derived and it is shown to agree with other techniques, most notably, Linear Response Theory (LRT). We show the connection between the LRT, which is applicable for near-equilibrium conditions and the functional methods used in this work which are useful for fully non-equilibrium conditions.

We discuss a model with a dark sector, in which smallness of mass for charged leptons and neutrinos can naturally be explained by one-loop effects mediated by particles in the dark sector. These new particles, including dark matter candidates, also contribute to the anomalous magnetic dipole moment, denoted by $(g-2)$, for charged leptons. We show that our model can explain the muon $(g-2)$ anomaly and observed neutrino oscillations under the constraints from lepton flavor violating decays of charged leptons. We illustrate that the scenario with scalar dark matter is highly constrained by direct searches at the LHC, while that with fermionic dark matter allows for considering dark scalars with masses of order 100 GeV. Our scenario can be tested by a precise measurement of the muon Yukawa coupling as well as the direct production of dark scalar bosons at future electron-positron colliders.

We construct an unified model of inflation and PeV dark matter with an appropriate choice of no-scale K\"ahler potential, superpotential and gauge kinetic function in terms of MSSM fields and hidden sector Polonyi field. The model is consistent with the CMB observations and can explain the PeV neutrino flux observed at IceCube HESE. A Starobinsky like Higgs-sneutrino plateau inflation is obtained from the $D$-term SUGRA potential while $F$-term being subdominant during inflation. To get PeV dark matter, SUSY breaking at PeV scale is achieved through Polonyi field. This sets the scale for soft SUSY breaking parameters $m_0, m_{1/2}, A_0 $ at the GUT scale in terms of the parameters of the model. The low energy particles spectrum is obtained by running the RGEs. We show that the $\sim$125 GeV higgs and the gauge coupling unification can be obtained in this model. The $6$ PeV bino-type dark matter is a subdominant fraction ($\sim 11\%$) of the relic density and its decay gives the PeV scale neutrino flux observed at IceCube by appropriately choosing the couplings of the $R$-parity violating operators. Also we find that there is a degeneracy in scalar field parameters $(\gamma, \beta)$ and coupling $\zeta$ value in producing the correct amplitude of CMB power spectrum. However the value of parameter $\tan(\beta)=1.8$, which is tightly fixed from the requirement of PeV scale SUSY breaking, removes the degeneracy in the values of the scalar field parameters to provide a unique solution for inflation. In this way it brings the explanation for dark matter, PeV neutrinos and inflation within the same framework.

I review the theoretical and experimental status of proton decay theory and experiment. Regarding theory, I focus mostly, but not only, on grand unification. I discuss only the minimal, well established SU(5) and SO(10) models, both ordinary and supersymmetric. I show how the minimal realistic extensions of the original Georgi - Glashow model can lead to interesting LHC physics, and I demonstrate that the minimal supersymmetric SU(5) theory is in perfect accord with experiment. Since no universally accepted model has of yet emerged, I discuss the effective operator analysis of proton decay and some related predictions from a high scale underlying theory. A strong case is made for the improvement of experimental limits, or better the search of, two body neutron decay modes into charged kaons and charged leptons. Their discovery would necessarily imply a low energy physics since they practically vanish in any theory with a desert in energies between M_W and M_GUT.

Bardeen has argued that once the classically conformal invariance and its minimal violation by quantum anomalies are imposed on the SM, it can be free from the quadratic divergences and hence the gauge hierarchy problem. Under the hypothesis, We investigated the minimal B-L extended SM with a flat Higgs potential at the Planck scale. In this model, the B-L symmetry is radiatively broken at TeV scale. We studied phenomenology and detectability of the model at LHC and the ILC.

We discuss the theory of inclusive production of heavy quarkonium, the comparison between theory and experiment, and the expected nuclear effects in cold nuclear targets. We also present predictions, based on Nonrelativistic QCD (NRQCD), for quarkonium production cross sections in the LHC energy range. We find that nuclear effects in the production cross sections are largely independent of the sizes of the NRQCD matrix elements, the charmonium state that is produced and, in the color-octet case, largely independent of the partonic subprocess that produces the heavy quark-antiquark pair.

In my talk I gave a status update on the extension of the CoLoRFulNNLO subtraction method for computing QCD jet cross sections with hadrons in the initial state. The scheme has been fully worked out previously for electron-positron collisions and recently important steps have been made towards generalizing it to be able to deliver corrections of the same order for LHC processes as well. In particular, the important bottleneck of regularizing multiple real emissions has been addressed. We demonstrate the numerical stability of the CoLoRFulNNLO method by computing the doubly real contribution for Higgs-boson production in gluon-gluon fusion and for W production.

The scheme has been fully worked out previously for electron-positron collisions and recently important steps have been made towards generalizing it to be able to deliver corrections of the same order for LHC processes as well. In particular, the important bottleneck of regularizing multiple real emissions has been addressed. We demonstrate the numerical stability of the CoLoRFulNNLO method by computing the doubly real contribution for Higgs-boson production in gluon-gluon fusion and for W production.

The "returning to resonance" mechanism can be used to obtain the simple procedure of taking RC to DIS cross section into account, in frames of Drell-Yan picture. Iteration procedure is proposed. Kinematic region $y \to 1$ can be described in frames of Drell-Yan picture using structure function approach. The large RC in the lowest order reflect Sudakov form factor suppression, which can be taken into account in all orders of perturbation theory. Basing on explicit calculation in two lowest orders of perturbation theory we construct the cross section in $y \to 1$ region obeying renormalization group equations and include the Sudakov-like form factor suppression.

We propose a new mechanism to simultaneously explain the observed dark matter abundance and the baryon asymmetry of the Universe. The mechanism is based on the Filtered Dark Matter scenario, where dark matter particles acquire a large mass during a first-order phase transition. This implies that only a small fraction of them are energetic enough to enter the advancing true vacuum bubbles and survive until today, while the rest are reflected and annihilate away quickly. We supplement this scenario with a CP-violating interaction, which creates a chiral asymmetry in the population of dark matter particles. In the false vacuum phase, a portal interaction quickly converts the dark sector chiral asymmetry into a Standard Model lepton asymmetry. The lepton asymmetry is then partially converted to a baryon asymmetry by standard electroweak sphaleron processes. We discuss the dependence of the generated asymmetry on the parameters of the model for two different portal interactions and demonstrate successful baryogenesis for both. For one of the portals, it is also possible to simultaneously explain the observed dark matter abundance, over many orders of magnitude in the dark matter mass.

We study the phenomenological implications of breaking the Tri-Bimaximal (TBM) mixing in such a way that either first or second column of TBM mixing matrix remains invariant. We present two such textures and confront them with the experimental data. We give the predictions of these textures for atmospheric mixing angle $\theta_{23}$ and Dirac-type CP violating phase $\delta$ that will be measured in the future experiments.

We examine various aspects of supersymmetric particle production at linear $e^+e^-$ colliders operating at a centre of mass energy of $\sqrt{s}=500$ GeV, and integrated luminosity of $\int {\cal L}dt=20-50$ fb$^{-1}$. Working within the framework of the minimal supergravity model with gauge coupling unification and radiative electroweak symmetry breaking (SUGRA), we study various signatures for detection of sparticles, taking into account their cascade decays, and map out the regions of parameter space where these are observable. We also examine strategies to isolate different SUSY processes from another. In addition, we perform four detailed SUGRA case studies and examine the detectability of sparticles when several SUSY processes are simultaneously occuring. We show that precision mass measurements of neutralinos, sneutrinos and top-squarks are possible, in addition to previously studied precision mass measurements of sleptons and charginos.

We complete our derivation of upper limits on the CP violating $\eta\pi\pi$ and $\eta'\pi\pi$ couplings from an analysis of their two-loop contributions to the neutron electric dipole moment (nEDM). We use a phenomenological Lagrangian approach which is formulated in terms of hadronic degrees of freedom - nucleons and pseudoscalar mesons. The essential part of the Lagrangian contains the CP violating couplings between $\eta(\eta')$ and pions. Previously, we included photons using minimal substitution in case of the proton and charged pions. Now we extend our Lagrangian by adding the nonminimal couplings, i.e. anomalous magnetic couplings of nucleons with the photon. The obtained numerical upper limits for the $\eta\pi\pi$ and $\eta'\pi\pi$ couplings $|f_{\eta\pi\pi}(M_\eta^2)|<4.4 \times10^{-11}$ and $|f_{\eta^\prime\pi\pi}(M_{\eta'}^2)|<3.8 \times10^{-11}$ can be useful for the related, planned experiments at the JLab Eta Factory. Using present experimental limits on the nEDM, we derive upper limits on the CP violating $\bar\theta$ parameter of $\bar{\mathrm{\theta}}<4.7 \times 10^{-10}$.

Supersymmetric grand unified models based on SO(10) gauge symmetry have many desireable features, including the unification of Yukawa couplings. Using D-term contributions to scalar masses arising from the breakdown of SO(10), Yukawa coupling unification only to 30% can be achieved in models with a positive superpotential Higgs mass. The superparticle mass spectrum is highly constrained, and yields relatively light top squarks and charginos. Surprisingly, the pattern of GUT scale soft SUSY breaking masses are close to those found in the context of inverted hierarchy models. Our analysis supports the idea that the low energy MSSM parameter space is an approximate SO(10) inspired fixed point.

We examine the theoretical motivations for long-lived particle (LLP) signals at the LHC in a comprehensive survey of Standard Model (SM) extensions. LLPs are a common prediction of a wide range of theories that address unsolved fundamental mysteries such as naturalness, dark matter, baryogenesis and neutrino masses, and represent a natural and generic possibility for physics beyond the SM (BSM). In most cases the LLP lifetime can be treated as a free parameter from the $\mu$m scale up to the Big Bang Nucleosynthesis limit of $\sim 10^7$m. Neutral LLPs with lifetimes above $\sim$ 100m are particularly difficult to probe, as the sensitivity of the LHC main detectors is limited by challenging backgrounds, triggers, and small acceptances. MATHUSLA is a proposal for a minimally instrumented, large-volume surface detector near ATLAS or CMS. It would search for neutral LLPs produced in HL-LHC collisions by reconstructing displaced vertices (DVs) in a low-background environment, extending the sensitivity of the main detectors by orders of magnitude in the long-lifetime regime. In this white paper we study the LLP physics opportunities afforded by a MATHUSLA-like detector at the HL-LHC. We develop a model-independent approach to describe the sensitivity of MATHUSLA to BSM LLP signals, and compare it to DV and missing energy searches at ATLAS or CMS. We then explore the BSM motivations for LLPs in considerable detail, presenting a large number of new sensitivity studies. While our discussion is especially oriented towards the long-lifetime regime at MATHUSLA, this survey underlines the importance of a varied LLP search program at the LHC in general. By synthesizing these results into a general discussion of the top-down and bottom-up motivations for LLP searches, it is our aim to demonstrate the exceptional strength and breadth of the physics case for the construction of the MATHUSLA detector.

Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) is expected to have a first order phase transition between the confined hadron gas and the deconfined quark gluon plasma at high baryon densities. This will result in phase boundary effects in the metastable and unstable regions. It is important to include these effects in phenomenological models of heavy ion collisions to identify experimental signatures of a phase transition. This requires building intuition on phase separation in rapidly expanding fluids. In this work we present the equations of relativistic hydrodynamics with a phase boundary, provide prescriptions to extend the equation of state to metastable and unstable regions, and show the effects of spinodal separation in a Bjorken flow.

We discuss the physical effects causing a modification of resonance masses, widths and even shapes in a dilute hadronic gas at late stages of heavy ion collisions. We quantify the conditions at which resonances are produced at RHIC, and found that it happens at $T\approx 120 MeV$. Although in the pp case the ``kinematic'' effects like thermal weighting of the states is sufficient, in AA we see a clear effect of dynamical interaction with matter, both due to a variety of s-channel resonances and due to t-channel scalar exchanges. The particular quantity we focus mostly on is the $\rho$ meson mass, for which these dynamical effects lead to about -50 MeV shift, on top of about -20 MeV of a thermal effect: both agree well with preliminary data from STAR experiment at RHIC. We also predict a complete change of shape of $f_0(600)$ resonance, even by thermal effects alone.

Although in the pp case the ``kinematic'' effects like thermal weighting of the states is sufficient, in AA we see a clear effect of dynamical interaction with matter, both due to a variety of s-channel resonances and due to t-channel scalar exchanges. The particular quantity we focus mostly on is the $\rho$ meson mass, for which these dynamical effects lead to about -50 MeV shift, on top of about -20 MeV of a thermal effect: both agree well with preliminary data from STAR experiment at RHIC. We also predict a complete change of shape of $f_0(600)$ resonance, even by thermal effects alone.

We show that the natural presence of flat directions in supersymmetric theories allows for nonrestoration of global and/or gauge symmetries. This has important cosmological consequences for supersymmetric GUTs and in particular it offers a solution of the monopole problem.

A systematic theoretical evaluation of the cross section for hadron production in electron-positron collisions in the energy range just below the $B$ meson threshold is presented which includes charm and bottom mass effects and is accurate to order $\as^3$. The corresponding measurement in the energy region several $GeV$ above the threshold is also discussed.

New experimental results, if correct, require at least one light sterile neutrino, in addition to the three active ones, to accommodate the mass differences required to explain the solar $\nu_e$ deficit, the anomalous $\nu/e$ ratio produced by atmospheric neutrinos, and either the candidate events for $\nu_\mu\to\nu_e$ (or $\bar\nu_\mu\to\bar\nu_e$) from the LSND experiment, or the possible need for a hot component of dark matter. This neutrino mass pattern can not only accommodate all these four requirements, but also provide a robust solution to a problem presently making heavy-element synthesis by supernovae impossible and resolve a possible discrepancy between big bang nucleosynthesis theory and observations.

A recent analysis by the LHCb collaboration suggests the existence of three narrow pentaquark-like states --- the $P_c(4312)$,$P_c(4440)$ and $P_c(4457)$ --- instead of just one in the previous analysis (the $P_c(4450)$). The closeness of the $P_c(4312)$ to the $\bar{D} \Sigma_c$ threshold and the $P_c(4440)$/$P_c(4457)$ to the $\bar{D}^* \Sigma_c$ one suggests a molecular interpretation of these resonances. We show that these three pentaquark-like resonances can be naturally accommodated in a contact-range effective field theory description that incorporates heavy-quark spin symmetry. This description leads to the prediction of all the seven possible S-wave heavy antimeson-baryon molecules (that is, there should be four additional molecular pentaquarks in addition to the $P_c(4312)$, $P_c(4440)$ and $P_c(4457)$), providing the first example of a heavy-quark spin symmetry molecular multiplet that is complete. If this is confirmed, it will not only give us an impressive example of the application of heavy-quark symmetries and effective field theories in hadron physics: it will also uncover a clear and powerful ordering principle for the molecular spectrum, reminiscent of the SU(3)-flavor multiplets to which the light hadron spectrum conforms.

We apply a recently proposed mechanism for predicting the weak mixing angle to theories with TeV-size dimensions. "Reconstruction" of the associated moose (or quiver) leads to theories which unify the electroweak forces into a five dimensional SU(3) symmetry. Quarks live at an orbifold fixed point where SU(3) breaks to the electroweak group. A variety of theories -- all sharing the same successful prediction of the weak mixing angle -- emerges; they differ primarily by the spatial location of the leptons and the absence or presence of supersymmetry. A particularly interesting theory puts leptons in a Konopinski-Mahmoud triplet and suppresses proton decay by placing quarks and leptons on opposite fixed points.

Parton percolation provides geometric deconfinement in the pre-equilibrium stage of nuclear collisions. The resulting parton condensate can lead to charmonium suppression. We formulate a local percolation condition viable for non-uniform collision environments and show that it correctly reproduces the suppression observed for S-U and Pb-Pb collisions at the SPS. Using this formulation, we then determine the behavior of J/Psi suppression for In-In collisions at the SPS and for Au-Au collisions at RHIC.

The soft gluon limit of the longitudinal part of the quark-gluon vertex is studied by resorting to non-perturbative approaches to Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD). Based on a Slavnov-Taylor identity (STI), the longitudinal form factors is expressed in terms of the quark-ghost kernel, the quark self energy and the quark wave function. An exact relation between the non-vanishing longitudinal form factors is derived for the soft gluon limit and explored to understand the behaviour of the vertex. Within a Ball-Chiu vertex, the form factor $\lambda_1$ was analysed using recent lattice simulations for full QCD for the soft gluon limit. The lattice data shows that the gluon propagator resumes the momentum dependence of such component of the vertex. This connection is understood via a fully dressed one-loop Bethe-Salpeter equation. The behaviour of the remaining longitudinal form factors $\lambda_2(p^2)$ and $\lambda_3(p^2)$ is investigated combining both the information of lattice simulations and the derived relations based on the STI.

$SU(2)_L$ triplet scalars appear in models motivated for the left-right symmetry, neutrino masses and dark matter (DM), etc.. If the triplets are the main decay products of the DM particle, and carry nonzero lepton numbers, they may decay dominantly into lepton pairs, which can naturally explain the current experimental results reported by PAMELA and Fermi-LAT or ATIC. We discuss this possibility in an extended left-right symmetric model in which the decay of DM particle is induced by tiny soft charge-conjugation ($C$) violating interactions, and calculate the spectra for cosmic-ray positrons, neutrinos and gamma-rays. We show that the DM signals in the flux of high energy neutrinos can be significantly enhanced, as the triplets couple to both charged leptons and neutrinos with the same strength. In this scenario, the predicted neutrino-induced muon flux can be several times larger than the case in which DM particle only directly decays into charged leptons. In addition, the charged components of the triplet may give an extra contribution to the high energy gamma-rays through internal bremsstrahlung process, which depends on the mass hierarchy between the DM particle and the triplet scalars.

Extra light electroweak singlets can dramatically alter Higgs decays by introducing additional decay modes, $h\to aa$. In scenarios where cascade decays $h\to aa\to 4X, X\ne b,\bar b$ dominate, the Higgs will escape conventional searches and may be as light as $82 \gev$. In this paper we investigate the discovery potential of the mode $h\to aa\to 2\gamma 2g$ through direct ($pp\to h$) and associated ($pp \to W^{\pm}h$) Higgs production at the LHC. Our search covers all kinematically allowed singlet masses for $\sim 80 \gev \le m_h < 160 \gev$ and assumes an integrated luminosity $\CL = 300 {\rm fb}^{-1}$. We find associated production, despite a smaller production cross section, to be the better mode. A branching ratio $BR(h\to 2\gamma 2g) \cong 0.04$ is sufficient for discovery in the bulk of our search window. Given the same luminosity and branching ratio 0.04, direct detection fails to discover a Higgs anywhere in our search window. Discovery in the limited region $m_h > 120 \gev, m_a \sim 25 \gev$ is possible with direct production when the branching ratio is $\simge 0.06$.

We calculate the flavor-singlet contribution to the $B\to\eta^{(\prime)}$ transition form factors from the gluonic content of the $\eta^{(\prime)}$ meson in the large-recoil region using the perturbative QCD approach. The formulation for the $\eta$-$\eta'$ mixing in the quark-flavor and singlet-octet schemes is compared, and employed to determine the chiral enhancement scales associated with the two-parton twist-3 $\eta^{(\prime)}$ meson distribution amplitudes. It is found that the gluonic contribution is negligible in the $B\to\eta$ form factors, and reaches few percents in the $B\to\eta'$ ones. Its impact on the accommodation of the measured $B\to\eta^{(\prime)} K$ branching ratios in the perturbative QCD and QCD-improved factorization approaches is elaborated.

We derive renormalization group equations for neutrino masses, leptonic mixing angles and CP-violating phases running at energies above the seesaw threshold, both in the Standard Model and in the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model extended with three right-handed neutrinos. With these equations, we carry out a systematic study of the radiative correction that may arise to neutrino parameters, via their renormalization group evolution from the electroweak scale ($M_{\rm Z}$) to the scale of Grand Unified theories ($\Lambda_{\rm GUT}$). We study in detail three typically interesting neutrino mass patterns: normal hierarchy, near degeneracy and inverted hierarchy.

We derive renormalization group equations for neutrino masses, leptonic mixing angles and CP-violating phases running at energies above the seesaw threshold, both in the Standard Model and in the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model extended with three right-handed neutrinos. With these equations, we carry out a systematic study of the radiative correction that may arise to neutrino parameters, via their renormalization group evolution from the electroweak scale ($M_{\rm Z}$) to the scale of Grand Unified theories ($\Lambda_{\rm GUT}$). We study in detail three typically interesting neutrino mass patterns: normal hierarchy, near degeneracy and inverted hierarchy. Magnitudes of possible corrections in each case are carefully investigated. We also emphasize the significance of CP-violating phases in controlling the evolution behavior of all neutrino parameters.

We consider the leptophobic $Z^\prime$ model which can appear naturally in the flipped SU(5) or string-inspired $E_6$ models. This model can be constrained by measurements of the $B\to M \nu\bar{\nu}$ decays and $\Delta m_s$. We find that although the latter give much stronger constraints on the coupling than the former, they are complementary to each other.

The one-loop helicity amplitudes for the elastic scattering process $\gamma\nu\to\gamma\nu$ in the Standard Model are computed at high center of mass energies. A general decomposition of the amplitudes is utilized to investigate the validity of some of the key features of our results. In the center of mass, where $\sqrt{s} = 2\omega$, the cross section grows roughly as $\omega^6$ to near the threshold for $W$-boson production, $\sqrt{s} = m_W$. Although suppressed at low energies, we find that the elastic cross section exceeds the cross section for $\gamma\nu\to\gamma\gamma\nu$ when $\sqrt{s}>13 $ GeV. We demonstrate that the scattered photons are circularly polarized and the net value of the polarization is non-zero. Astrophysical implications of high energy photon-neutrino scattering are discussed.

We consider the prospects for a neutrino factory to measure mixing angles, the CP violating phase and mass-squared differences by detecting wrong-charged muons arising from the chain \mu^+ to \nu_e to \nu_\mu\ to \mu^- and the right-charged muons coming from the chain \mu^+ to \bar{\nu}_\mu\ to \bar{\nu}_\mu\ to \mu^+ (similar to \mu^- chains), where \nu_e to \nu_\mu\ and \bar{\nu}_\mu\ to \bar{\nu}_\mu\ are neutrino oscillation channels through a long baseline. First, we perform the baseline and energy optimization of the neutrino factory including the latest simulation results from the magnetized iron neutrino detector (MIND). Second, we study physics with near detectors and consider the treatment of systematic errors including cross section errors, flux errors, and background uncertainties. Third, the effects of one additional massive sterile neutrino are investigated in the context of near and far detector combinations.

The Ritus' $E_{p}$ eigenfunction method is extended to the case of spin-1 charged particles in a constant electromagnetic field and used to calculate the one-loop neutrino self-energy in the presence of a strong magnetic field.From the obtained self-energy, the neutrino dispersion relation and index of refraction in the magnetized vacuum are determined within the field range $m_{e}^{2}\ll eB\ll M_{W}^{2}$. The propagation of neutrinos in the magnetized vacuum is anisotropic due to the dependence of the index of refraction on the angle between the directions of the neutrino momentum and the external field. Possible cosmological implications of the results are discussed.

We revisit our previous work [Phys. Rev. D 95, 096014 (2017)] where neutrino oscillation and nonoscillation data were analyzed in the standard framework with three neutrino families, in order to constrain their absolute masses and to probe their ordering (either normal, NO, or inverted, IO). We include updated oscillation results to discuss best fits and allowed ranges for the two squared mass differences $\delta m^2$ and $\Delta m^2$, the three mixing angles $\theta_{12}$, $\theta_{23}$ and $\theta_{13}$, as well as constraints on the CP-violating phase $\delta$, plus significant indications in favor of NO vs IO at the level of $\Delta\chi^2=10.0$. We then consider nonoscillation data from beta decay, from neutrinoless double beta decay (if neutrinos are Majorana), and from various cosmological input variants (in the data or the model) leading to results dubbed as default, aggressive, and conservative. In the default option, we obtain from nonoscillation data an extra contribution $\Delta\chi^2 = 2.2$ in favor of NO, and an upper bound on the sum of neutrino masses $\Sigma < 0.15$ eV at $2\sigma$; both results - dominated by cosmology - can be strengthened or weakened by using more aggressive or conservative options, respectively. Taking into account such variations, we find that the combination of all (oscillation and nonoscillation) neutrino data favors NO at the level of $3.2-3.7\sigma$, and that $\Sigma$ is constrained at the $2\sigma$ level within $\Sigma < 0.12-0.69$ eV. The upper edge of this allowed range corresponds to an effective $\beta$-decay neutrino mass $m_\beta = \Sigma/3 = 0.23$ eV, at the sensitivity frontier of the KATRIN experiment.

We present analytic expressions to evaluate at O(alpha) the effects of soft-photon emission, and the related virtual corrections, in non-leptonic decays of the type B,D -> P1 P2, where P1 and P2 are scalar or pseudoscalar particles. The phenomenological implications of these results are briefly discussed. For B decays into charged pions the effects of soft-photon emission are quite large: the corrections to the rates can easily exceed the 5% level if tight cuts on the photon energy are applied.

The polarization effects in the one-meson radiative decay of the polarized $\tau$ lepton, $\tau^-\to\pi^-\gamma\nu_{\tau}$, have been investigated. We present the analytical results for the $t-$distribution of the partial differential widths, which responsible for different polarization phenomena, in the case of the photon energy cut: $\omega>X$. These quantities depend on the invariant mass squared $t$ of the pseudoscalar meson and photon and the photon energy cut $X.$ Our analytical formulae, in terms of the weak vector and axial-vector form factors, describing the structure-dependent part of the decay amplitude, are valid also for the decay $\tau^{\pm}\to K^{\pm}\,\nu_\tau\,\gamma$ after trivial substitutions of the corresponding constants. We demonstrate the essential decrease of the inner bremsstrahlung contribution in comparison with the structural one with increase of the photon cut energy. In numerical calculations the vector and axial-vector form factors are determined using the chiral effective theory with resonances (R$\chi$T).

In this paper we propose indirect probes of the scale of supersymmetry breaking, through observations in the Extreme Universe Space Observatory onboard Japanese Experiment Module (JEM-EUSO). We consider scenarios where the lightest supersymmetric particle is the gravitino, and the next to lightest (NLSP) is a long lived slepton. We demonstrate that JEM-EUSO will be able to probe models where the NLSP decays, therefore probing supersymmetric breaking scales below $5 \times 10^6$ GeV. The observatory field of view will be large enough to detect a few tens of events per year, depending on its energy threshold. This is complementary to a previous proposal (Albuquerque et al., 2004) where it was shown that 1 Km$^3$ neutrino telescopes can directly probe this scale. NLSPs will be produced by the interaction of high energy neutrinos in the Earth. Here we investigate scenarios where they subsequently decay, either in the atmosphere after escaping the Earth or right before leaving the Earth, producing taus. These can be detected by JEM-EUSO and have two distinctive signatures: one, they are produced in the Earth and go upwards in the atmosphere, which allows discrimination from atmospheric taus and, second, as NLSPs are always produced in pairs, coincident taus will be a strong signature for these events. Assuming that the neutrino flux is equivalent to the Waxman-Bahcall limit, we determine the rate of taus from NLSP decays reaching JEM-EUSO's field of view.

We recalculate the pion electromagnetic form factor based on the perturbative QCD formalism that includes the Sudakov resummation. We take into account the evolution of the pion wave function in $b$, which represents the transverse extent of the pion. An infrared enhancement is observed when $1/b$ approaches $\Lambda_{QCD}$. We propose to freeze the evolution of the wave function at some scale above $\Lambda_{QCD}$, such that perturbative contributions are stablized. Our predictions are consistent with experimental data, and insensitive to the variation of relevant parameters.

SUSY effects on various flavor changing neutral current processes are discussed in the minimal supergravity model and the SU(5) grand unified theory with right-handed neutrino supermultiplets. In particular, in the latter case the neutrino Yukawa coupling constants can be a source of the flavor mixing in the right-handed-down-type-squark sector. It is shown that due to this mixing the time-dependent CP asymmetry of radiative B decay can be as large as 30% and the ratio of $B_s$-$\bar{B}_s$ mixing and $B_d$-$\bar{B}_d$ mixing deviates from the prediction in the standard model and the minimal supergravity model without the neutrino interaction.

SUSY effects on various flavor changing neutral current processes are discussed in the minimal supergravity model and the SU(5) grand unified theory with right-handed neutrino supermultiplets. In particular, in the latter case the neutrino Yukawa coupling constants can be a source of the flavor mixing in the right-handed-down-type-squark sector. It is shown that due to this mixing the time-dependent CP asymmetry of radiative B decay can be as large as 30% and the ratio of $B_s$-$\bar{B}_s$ mixing and $B_d$-$\bar{B}_d$ mixing deviates from the prediction in the standard model and the minimal supergravity model without the neutrino interaction.

We revisit the issue of the limit on the scale of Left-Right symmetry breaking. We focus on the minimal SU(2)_L x SU(2)_R x U(1)_B-L gauge theory with the seesaw mechanism and discuss the two possibilities of defining Left-Right symmetry as parity or charge conjugation. In the commonly adopted case of parity, we perform a complete numerical study of the quark mass matrices and the associated left and right mixing matrices without any assumptions usually made in the literature about the ratio of vacuum expectation values. We find that the usual lower limit on the mass of the right-handed gauge boson from the K mass difference, M_WR>2.5TeV, is subject to a possible small reduction due to the difference between right and left Cabibbo angles. In the case of charge conjugation the limit on M_WR is somewhat more robust. However, the more severe bounds from CP-violating observables are absent in this case. In fact, the free phases can also resolve the present mild discrepancy between the Standard Model and CP-violation in the $B$-sector. Thus, even in the minimal case, both charged and neutral gauge bosons may be accessible at the Large Hadron Collider with spectacular signatures of lepton number violation.

We develop Standard Model Effective Field Theory (SMEFT) predictions of $\sigma(\mathcal{G} \,\mathcal{G}\rightarrow h)$, $\Gamma(h \rightarrow \mathcal{G} \,\mathcal{G})$, $\Gamma(h \rightarrow \mathcal{A} \mathcal{A})$ to incorporate full two loop Standard Model results at the amplitude level, in conjunction with dimension eight SMEFT corrections. We simultaneously report consistent $\Gamma(h \rightarrow \bar{\Psi} {\Psi})$ results including leading QCD corrections and dimension eight SMEFT corrections. This extends the predictions of the former processes $\Gamma, \sigma$ to a full set of corrections at $\mathcal{O}(\bar{v}_T^2/\Lambda^2 (16 \pi^2)^2)$ and $\mathcal{O}(\bar{v}_T^4/\Lambda^4)$, where $\bar{v}_T$ is the electroweak scale vacuum expectation value and $\Lambda$ is the cut off scale of the SMEFT. Throughout, cross consistency between the operator and loop expansions is maintained by the use of the geometric SMEFT formalism. For $\Gamma(h \rightarrow \bar{\Psi} {\Psi})$, we include results at $\mathcal{O}(\bar{v}_T^2/\Lambda^2 (16 \pi^2))$ in the limit where subleading $m_\Psi \rightarrow 0$ corrections are neglected. We clarify how gauge invariant SMEFT renormalization counterterms combine with the Standard Model counter terms in higher order SMEFT calculations when the Background Field Method is used. We also update the prediction of the total Higgs width in the SMEFT to consistently include some of these higher order perturbative effects.

We briefly review the current status of standard oscillations of atmospheric neutrinos in schemes with two, three, and four flavor mixing. It is shown that, although the pure \nu_\mu-->\nu_\tau channel provides an excellent 2\nu fit to the data, one cannot exclude, at present, the occurrence of additional subleading \nu_\mu-->\nu_e oscillations (3\nu schemes) or of sizable \nu_\mu-->\nu_s oscillations (4\nu schemes). It is also shown that the wide dynamical range of energy and pathlength probed by the Super-Kamiokande experiment puts severe constraints on nonstandard explanations of the atmospheric neutrino data, with a few notable exceptions.

An extension of the Standard Model by three singlet fermions with masses smaller than the electroweak scale allows to explain simultaneously neutrino oscillations, dark matter and baryon asymmetry of the Universe. We discuss the properties of neutral leptons in this model and the ways they can be searched for in particle physics experiments. We establish, in particular, a lower and an upper bound on the strength of interaction of neutral leptons coming from cosmological considerations and from the data on neutrino oscillations. We analyse the production of neutral leptons in the decays of different mesons and in $pp$ collisions. We study in detail decays of neutral leptons and establish a lower bound on their mass coming from existing experimental data and Big Bang Nucleosynthesis. We argue that the search for a specific missing energy signal in kaon decays would allow to strengthen considerably the bounds on neutral fermion couplings and to find or definitely exclude them below the kaon threshold. To enter into cosmologically interesting parameter range for masses above kaon mass the dedicated searches similar to CERN PS191 experiment would be needed with the use of intensive proton beams. We argue that the use of CNGS, NuMI, T2K or NuTeV beams could allow to search for singlet leptons below charm in a large portion of the parameter space of the nuMSM. The search of singlet fermions in the mass interval 2-5 GeV would require a considerable increase of the intensity of proton accelerators or the detailed analysis of kinematics of more than 10^{10} B-meson decays.

In the context of $\mathrm{E}_{6}$ Grand Unified Theories (GUTs), an intriguing possibility for symmetry breaking to the Standard Model (SM) group involves an intermediate stage characterized by either $\mathrm{SU}(3)\times\mathrm{SU}(3)\times\mathrm{SU}(3)$ (trinification) or $\mathrm{SU}(6)\times\mathrm{SU}(2)$. The more common choices of $\mathrm{SU(5)}$ and $\mathrm{SO}(10)$ GUT symmetry groups do not offer such breaking chains. We argue that the presence of a real (rank $2$ tensor) representation $\mathbf{650}$ of $\mathrm{E}_{6}$ in the scalar sector is the minimal and likely only reasonable possibility to obtain one of the novel intermediate stages. We analyze the renormalizable scalar potential of a single copy of the $\mathbf{650}$ and find vacuum solutions that support regularly embedded subgroups $\mathrm{SU}(3)\times\mathrm{SU}(3)\times\mathrm{SU}(3)$, $\mathrm{SU}(6)\times\mathrm{SU}(2)$, and $\mathrm{SO}(10)\times\mathrm{U}(1)$, as well as specially embedded subgroups $\mathrm{F}_{4}$ and $\mathrm{SU}(3)\times\mathrm{G}_{2}$ that do not contain the SM gauge symmetry. We show that for a suitable choice of parameters, each of the regular cases can be obtained as the lowest among the analyzed minima in the potential.

We investigate the prospects for discovering axion-like particles (ALPs) via a light-by-light (LBL) scattering at two colliders, the future circular collider (FCC-ee) and circular electron-positron collider (CEPC). The promising sensitivities to the effective ALP-photon coupling $g_{a\gamma\gamma}$ are obtained. Our numerical results show that the FCC-ee and CEPC might be more sensitive to the ALPs with mass 2 GeV $\sim$ 10 GeV than the LHC and CLIC.

Recently, an anomalous excess was found in the electronic recoil data collected at the XENON1T experiment. The excess may be explained by an axion-like particle (ALP) with mass of a few keV and a coupling to electron of $g_{ae} \sim 10^{-13}$, if the ALP constitutes all or some fraction of local dark matter (DM). In order to satisfy the X-ray constraint, the ALP coupling to photons must be significantly suppressed compared to that to electrons. This strongly suggests that the ALP has no anomalous couplings to photons, i.e., there is no U(1)$_{\rm PQ}$-U(1)$_{\rm em}$-U(1)$_{\rm em}$ anomaly. We show that such anomaly-free ALP DM predicts an X-ray line signal with a definite strength through the operator arising from threshold corrections, and compare it with the projected sensitivity of the ATHENA X-ray observatory. The abundance of ALP DM can be explained by the misalignment mechanism, or by thermal production if it constitutes a part of DM. In particular, we find that the anomalous excess reported by the XENON1T experiment as well as the stellar cooling anomalies from white dwarfs and red giants can be explained simultaneously better when the ALP constitutes about 10\% of DM. As concrete models, we revisit the leptophilic anomaly-free ALP DM considered in [Phys.Lett.B 734 (2014) 178-182] as well as an ALP model based on a two Higgs doublet model in the supplemental material.

In the context of Monte Carlo (MC) generators with parton showers that have next-to-leading-logarithmic (NLL) precision, the cutoff $Q_0$ terminating the shower evolution should be viewed as an infrared factorization scale so that parameters or non-perturbative effects of the MC generator may have a field theoretic interpretation with a controllable scheme dependence. This implies that the generator's parton level should be carefully defined within QCD perturbation theory with subleading order precision. Furthermore, it entails that the shower cut $Q_0$ is not treated as one of the generator's tuning parameters, but that the tuning can be carried out reliably for a range of $Q_0$ values and that the hadron level description is $Q_0$-invariant. This in turn imposes non-trival constraints on the behavior of the generator's hadronization model, so that its parameters can adapt accordingly when the $Q_0$ value is changed. We investigate these features using the angular ordered parton shower and the cluster hadronization model implemented in the Herwig~7.2 MC generator focusing in particular on the $e^+e^-$ 2-jettiness distribution, where the shower is known to be NLL precise and where QCD factorization imposes stringent constraints on the hadronization corrections. We show that the Herwig default cluster hadronization model does not exhibit these features or consistency with QCD factorization with a satisfying precision. We design a modification of the cluster hadronization model, where some dynamical parton shower aspects are added that are missing in the default model. For this novel dynamical cluster hadronization model these features and consistency with QCD factorization are realized much more accurately.

In the framework of a final state interaction model, we show that the so-called radial flow, i.e. the almost linear increase of the inverse slope $T$ with the mass of the produced particle, is already contained in the initial condition -- with a slope $<u_t^2>$ (the so-called strength of the average radial transverse flow) which is larger than the measured one. While the precise value of the slope depends on the details of the model, the above result has a very general basis -- namely the increase with increasing $p_T$ of the fixed $p_T$ suppression, in the low $p_T$ region.

We present the results for the complete next-to-leading order electroweak corrections to $pp \to HH$ at the Large Hadron Collider, focusing on the dominant gluon-gluon fusion process. While the corrections at the total cross-section level are approximately $-4\%$, those near the energy of $HH$ production threshold exceed $+15\%$, and corrections at the high-energy region are around $-10\%$, leading to a shape distortion for the differential distributions. Our findings substantially diminish the theoretical uncertainties associated with this pivotal process, providing valuable input for understanding the shape of the Higgs boson potential upon comparison with experimental measurements.

Jet cross sections at high-energy colliders exhibit intricate patterns of logarithmically enhanced higher-order corrections. In particular, so-called non-global logarithms emerge from soft radiation emitted off energetic partons inside jets. While this is a single-logarithmic effect at lepton colliders, at hadron colliders phase factors in the amplitudes lead to double-logarithmic corrections starting at four-loop order. This effect was discovered a long time ago, but not much is known about the higher-order behavior of these terms and their process dependence. We derive, for the first time, the all-order structure of these "super-leading logarithms" for generic $2\to l$ scattering processes at hadron colliders and resum them in closed form.

Jet cross sections at high-energy colliders exhibit intricate patterns of logarithmically enhanced higher-order corrections. In particular, so-called non-global logarithms emerge from soft radiation emitted off energetic partons inside jets. While this is a single-logarithmic effect at lepton colliders, at hadron colliders phase factors in the amplitudes lead to double-logarithmic corrections starting at four-loop order. This effect was discovered a long time ago, but not much is known about the higher-order behavior of these terms and their process dependence.

We numerically investigate the production of kink-antikink pairs in a $(1+1)$ dimensional $\phi^4$ field theory subject to white noise and periodic driving. The twin effects of noise and periodic driving acting in conjunction lead to considerable enhancement in the kink density compared to the thermal equilibrium value, for low dissipation coefficients and for a specific range of frequencies of the oscillating background. The dependence of the kink-density on the temperature of the heat bath, the amplitude of the oscillating background and value of the dissipation coefficient is also investigated. An interesting feature of our result is that kink-antikink production occurs even though the system always remains in the broken symmetry phase.

Near-threshold production of boson pairs is considered within the framework of the model of unstable particles with smeared mass.

We investigate unstable hadrons (resonances) which mainly decay into two final states in a very short time. We estimate how far at most these two final states can travel away from each other in the half-life of the initial unstable hadron. As examples, this distance is about 2.5 fm for rho -> pi pi, 1.8 fm for Delta -> N pi, and 0.6 fm for f_0(500) -> pi pi. We calculate this distance for altogether 181 hadrons, among all the 324 ones listed in PDG2012 together with Zc(3900) and Zc(4025). We find it is around one femtometer for many hadrons, which is of the same order of magnitude as the hadronic radii. We also estimate this distance for altogether 15 unstable nuclei. We find it is about several femtometers for some of them, which is of the same order of magnitude as the nuclear radii. For example, it is about six femtometers for O12 -> N11 p.

We develop a general framework to study KKbar threshold phenomena with resonances f0, a0 and K+K- atom included. Based on this formalism we predict that the production of the K+K- atom in p+d=3He+X and similar reactions exhi- bits a drastic energy dependence due to the interplay with resonances f0 (980) and a0 (980). We point out that a set of few parameters describes KKbar threshold effects, f0 and a0 mesons, and K+K- atom. Our hope is that precision experimental study aimed at determining these parameters may shed more light on the nature of f0 and a0 resonances.

As is well-known, Trinification, \ie, the extension of the Standard Model (SM) to $[SU(3)]^3=SU(3)_c\times SU(3)_L\times SU(3)_R$ as occurs in $E_6$ models, allows for a partial unification of the gauge forces even though quarks and leptons remain in separate multiplets so that no heavy gauge or scalar fields exist which can generate proton decay. The extension of this idea to Quartification, by including an additional $SU(3)'$ factor, has also been considered in the literature maintaining the basic attributes of Trinification but now allowing, \eg, for a more symmetric treatment of quarks and leptons at the price of new matter fields and gauge interactions. In this paper, we will consider this $SU(3)'$ to be the `dark' gauge group, now containing the familiar $U(1)_D$ subgroup, under which the SM fields are all neutral, which is associated with kinetic mixing (KM) and the existence of a light, $\lsim 1 $ GeV dark photon. This setup naturally predicts the existence of color-singlet portal matter (PM) fields, carrying both electromagnetic and $U(1)_D$ dark charges, that are necessary to generate this KM at the 1-loop level and whose masses are directly tied with those of the many new gauge bosons that originate from the extended gauge sector. In this paper, after a discussion of the detailed structure of this model, we present a broad survey of the collider phenomenology of the large set of new fields that must necessarily arise from this setup in a simplified version involving only a single generation of fermions. We demonstrate that several new signatures may be anticipated at the LHC as well as at future hadron and lepton colliders if such models are realized in nature.

In this paper we show that the sum of enhanced BFKL Pomeron loop diagrams generates the scattering amplitude, which turns out to be much smaller, than in the case of deep inelastic scattering. We use the simplified BFKL kernel in the leading twist approximation, which reproduces the main features of the scattering amplitude in the deep inelastic scattering(DIS). For such kernel the results are highly unexpected and they contradict (i) the solution to the Balitsky- Kovchegov(BK) equation for the scattering amplitude; (ii) the idea that the scattering amplitude stems from rare fluctuation and it has the same form as in DIS ; and (iii) the numerical simulations. We sincerely hope, that we made a mistake, which we failed to note, and which our reader will find. If not , we need to reconsider our view on the sum of the BFKL Pomeron loops and accept that their summing will lead to large contribution of the rare configurations in CGC approach to the scattering amplitude.

The conventional and linearly polarized Weizs\"acker-Williams gluon distributions at small x are defined from the two-point function of the gluon field in light-cone gauge. They appear in the cross section for dijet production in deep inelastic scattering at high energy. We determine these functions in the small-x limit from solutions of the JIMWLK evolution equations and show that they exhibit approximate geometric scaling. Also, we discuss the functional distributions of these WW gluon distributions over the JIMWLK ensemble at rapidity $Y\sim 1/\alpha_s$. These are determined by a 2d Liouville action for the logarithm of the covariant gauge function $g^2 \mathrm{tr}\,A^+(q)A^+(-q)$. For transverse momenta on the order of the saturation scale we observe large variations across configurations (evolution trajectories) of the linearly polarized distribution up to several times its average, and even to negative values.

We study the conditions under which the CP violation in the quark mixing matrix can leak into the scalar potential of the real two-Higgs-doublet model (2HDM) via divergent radiative corrections, thereby spoiling the renormalizability of the model. We show that any contributing diagram must involve 12 Yukawa-coupling insertions and a factor of the $U(1)_{PQ}$-breaking scalar potential parameter $\lambda_5$, thereby requiring at least six loops; this also implies that the 2HDM with only softly-broken $U(1)_{PQ}$ is safe from divergent leaks of CP violation to all orders. We demonstrate that additional symmetries of the six-loop diagrams in the type I and II 2HDMs guarantee that all of the divergent CP-violating contributions cancel at this order. We also show that these symmetries are violated at seven loops and enumerate the classes of diagrams that can contribute to CP-violating divergences, providing evidence that the real 2HDM is theoretically inconsistent starting at the seven-loop level.

We present a possible supersymmetric solution to the discrepancy between the observed mixing CP asymmetries in B -> \phi K_S and B -> \eta' K_S. We show that due to the different parity in the final states of these processes, their supersymmetric contributions from the R-sector have an opposite sign, which naturally explain the large deviation between S_{\phi K_S} and S_{\eta' K_S}. We also consider the proposed mechanisms to solve the puzzle of the observed large branching ratio of B -> \eta' K and study their impact on S_{eta' K_S}.

It is pointed out that the phase convention of the CKM matrix V affects texture analysis of the quark mass matrices (M_u, M_d) when we try to describe (M_u, M_d) by the observable quantities (quark masses and CKM matrix parameters) only. This is demonstrated for a case of the non-Hermitian Fritzsch-type mass matrix (tilde{M}_u, tilde{M}_d), which is a general expression of quark mass matrix (M_u, M_d) and is described by twelve parameters. We find that we can always choose a phase convention of V which yields tilde{M}_{u32} = 0, so that the remaining ten parameters in (tilde{M}_u, tilde{M}_d) can completely be expressed by the ten observable quantities.

Many aspects of high-temperature gauge theories, such as the electroweak baryon number violation rate, color conductivity, and the hard gluon damping rate, have previously been understood only at leading logarithmic order (that is, neglecting effects suppressed only by an inverse logarithm of the gauge coupling). We discuss how to systematically go beyond leading logarithmic order in the analysis of physical quantities. Specifically, we extend to next-to-leading-log order (NLLO) the simple leading-log effective theory due to Bodeker that describes non-perturbative color physics in hot non-Abelian plasmas. A suitable scaling analysis is used to show that no new operators enter the effective theory at next-to-leading-log order. However, a NLLO calculation of the color conductivity is required, and we report the resulting value. Our NLLO result for the color conductivity can be trivially combined with previous numerical work by G. Moore to yield a NLLO result for the hot electroweak baryon number violation rate.

The particle recently discovered at the Large Hadron Collider near Geneva is almost certainly a Higgs boson, the long-sought completion of the Standard Model of particle physics. But this discovery, an achievement by more than six thousand scientists (including students), is actually much more than a mere capstone of the Standard Model. It instead represents a bridge from the Standard Model to exciting discoveries of the future, at higher energies or in other experiments, and to the properties of matter at very low temperatures. The mere existence of a particle with zero spin implies a need for new physics, with the most likely candidate being supersymmetry, which requires that every known particle has a superpartner yet to be discovered. And phenomena similar to the Higgs are seen in superconducting metals and superfluid gases at low temperatures, which extend down to a millionth or even a billionth of a degree Kelvin. So the discovery of a Higgs boson has a central place in our attempts both to achieve a true understanding of Nature and to harness Nature in practical applications.

We assume a generic real singlet scalar extension of the Standard Model living in the vacuum $(v,w)$ at the electroweak scale with $v=246$ GeV and $w$ being respectively the Higgs and the singlet scalar vacuum expectation values. By requiring {\it absolute} vacuum stability for the vacuum $(v,w)$, the positivity condition and the perturbativity up to the Planck scale, we show that the viable space of parameters in the model is strongly constrained for various singlet scalar vacuum expectation values $w=0.1, 1, 10, 100$ TeV. Also, it turns out that the singlet scalar mass can be from a few GeV up to less than TeV.

A large experimental program is being mounted to search for neutrinoless double-beta decay over the next decade. Multiple experiments using different target isotopes are being prepared to explore the whole parameter space allowed for inverted-ordered light neutrinos, and have the potential to make discoveries in several other scenarios, including normal-ordered light neutrinos and other exotic mechanisms. We investigate to what extent long-range and exotic short-range contributions may be distinguished by combining measurements of the decay half-life across isotopes. We demonstrate how measurements in two isotopes may facilitate a joint measurement up to a two-fold degeneracy, and how a further measurement in a third isotope may remove this degeneracy. We also highlight the precision of the nuclear matrix elements needed to convert half-lives into information on the underlying decay mechanism. Considering their correlations and uncertainties in the framework of a global Bayesian analysis, we assess the consequences of a possible future 10-fold reduction in uncertainties. Our work motivates an experimental program measuring neutrinoless double-beta decay in more than one isotope, as this would break parameter degeneracies and advance our understanding of particle physics beyond the Standard Model.

We derive a $\Lambda \Lambda$ potential from a chiral constituent quark model that has been successful in describing one, two and three nonstrange baryon systems. The resulting interaction at low energy is attractive at all distances due to the $\sigma $ exchange term. The attraction allows for a slightly bound state just below the $\Lambda \Lambda $ threshold. No short-range repulsive core is found. We extract the diquark-diquark contribution that turns out to be the most attractive and probable at small distances. At large distances the asymptotic behavior of the $\Lambda \Lambda $ interaction provides a prediction for the $\sigma \Lambda \Lambda $ coupling constant.

A comparison study of world data for the structure function F2 for Iron, as measured by both charged lepton and neutrino scattering experiments, is presented. Consistency of results for both charged lepton and neutrino scattering is observed for the full global data set in the valence regime. Consistency is also observed at low x for the various neutrino data sets, as well as for the charged lepton data sets, independently. However, data from the two probes exhibit differences on the order of 15% in the shadowing/anti-shadowing transition region where the Bjorken scaling variable x is < 0.15. This observation is indicative that neutrino probes of nucleon structure might be sensitive to different nuclear effects than charged lepton probes. Details and results of the data comparison are here presented.

I describe a novel covariant formulation of massive gauge theories in which the longitudinal polarization vectors do not grow with the energy. Therefore in the present formalism, differently from the ordinary one, the energy and coupling power-counting is completely transparent at the level of individual Feynman diagrams, with obvious advantages both at the conceptual and practical level. Since power-counting is transparent, the high-energy limit of the amplitudes involving longitudinal particles is immediately taken, and the Equivalence Theorem is easily demonstrated at all orders in perturbation theory. Since the formalism makes the Equivalence Theorem self-evident, and because it is based on a suitable choice of the gauge, we can call it an "Equivalent Gauge".

We investigate neutrino induced one pion production on nucleons. The elementary neutrino--nucleon cross section is calculated as the sum of the leading Delta pole diagram and several background diagrams obtained within the non-linear sigma model. This approach does not introduce any new adjustable parameters, which allows unambiguous predictions for the observables. Considering electroproduction experiments as benchmark, the model is shown to be applicable up to pion-nucleon invariant mass $W<1.4\GeV$ and provides a good accuracy. With respect to the total one pion cross section, the model predicts the background at the level of $=10% for the $p\pi^+$, 30% for $p\pi^0$ and 50% for $n\pi^+$ final states. The results are compared with experimental data for various differential cross sections. Distributions with respect to muon-nucleon and muon-pion invariant masses are presented for the first time. The model describes the data quite well, with the discrepancies being of the same order as those between different data sets.

We investigate the properties of heavy quarkonia at finite temperature in detail using QCD sum rules. Extending previous analyses, we take into account a temperature dependent effective continuum threshold and derive constraints on the mass, the width, and the varying effective continuum threshold. We find that at least one of these quantities of a charmonium changes abruptly in the vicinity of the phase transition. We also calculate the ratio of the imaginary time correlator to its reconstructed one, $G/G_{\text{rec}}$, by constructing a model spectral function and compare it to the corresponding lattice QCD results. We demonstrate that the almost constant unity of $G/G_{\text{rec}}$ can be obtained from the destructive interplay of the changes in each part of the spectral modification which are extracted from QCD sum rules.

We analyze the role played by anomaly poles in an anomalous gauge theory by discussing their signature in the corresponding off-shell effective action. The origin of these contributions, in the most general kinematical case, is elucidated by performing a complete analysis of the anomaly vertex at perturbative level. We use two independent (but equivalent) representations: the Rosenberg representation and the longitudinal/transverse (L/T) parameterization, used in recent studies of $g-2$ of the muon and in the proof of non-renormalization theorems of the anomaly vertex. The poles extracted from the L/T parameterization do not couple in the infrared for generic anomalous vertices, as in Rosenberg, but we show that they are responsible for the violations of unitarity in the UV region, using a class of pole-dominated amplitudes. We conclude that consistent formulations of anomalous models require necessarily the cancellation of these polar contributions. Establishing the UV significance of these terms provides a natural bridge between the anomalous effective action and its completion by a nonlocal theory. Some additional difficulties with unitarity of the mechanism of inflow in extra dimensional models with an anomalous theory on the brane, due to the presence of anomaly poles, are also pointed out.

I report on some recent work done in collaboration with Santi Peris and Boris Phily (hep-ph/0007338) where, using the Aleph data on vector and axial-vector spectral functions, we test simple duality properties of QCD in the large-Nc limit which emerge in the approximation of a {\it minimal hadronic ansatz} of a spectrum of narrow states. These duality properties relate the short- and long-distance behaviours of specific correlation functions, which are order parameters of spontaneous chiral symmetry breaking, in a way that we find well supported by the data.

We present pySecDec, a new version of the program SecDec, which performs the factorisation of dimensionally regulated poles in parametric integrals, and the subsequent numerical evaluation of the finite coefficients. The algebraic part of the program is now written in the form of python modules, which allow a very flexible usage. The optimization of the C++ code, generated using FORM, is improved, leading to a faster numerical convergence. The new version also creates a library of the integrand functions, such that it can be linked to user-specific codes for the evaluation of matrix elements in a way similar to analytic integral libraries.

We present pySecDec, a new version of the program SecDec, which performs the factorisation of dimensionally regulated poles in parametric integrals, and the subsequent numerical evaluation of the finite coefficients. The algebraic part of the program is now written in the form of python modules, which allow a very flexible usage. The optimization of the C++ code, generated using FORM, is improved, leading to a faster numerical convergence. The new version also creates a library of the integrand functions, such that it can be linked to user-specific codes for the evaluation of matrix elements in a way similar to analytic integral libraries.

In this paper we continue our program to build a model for high energy soft interactions, that is based on the CGC/saturation approach.The main result of this paper is that we have discovered a mechanism that leads to large long range rapidity correlations, and results in large values of the correlation function $R\Lb y_1,y_2\Rb \,\geq \,1$, which is independent of $y_1$ and $ y_2$. Such behaviour of the correlation function, provides strong support for the idea, that at high energies the system of partons that is produced, is not only dense, but also has strong attractive forces acting between the partons.

New sub-GeV gauge forces ("dark photons") that kinetically mix with the photon provide a promising scenario for MeV-GeV dark matter, and are the subject of a program of searches at fixed-target and collider facilities around the world. In such models, dark photons produced in collisions may decay invisibly into dark matter states, thereby evading current searches. We re-examine results of the SLAC mQ electron beam dump experiment designed to search for millicharged particles, and find that it was strongly sensitive to any secondary beam of dark matter produced by electron-nucleus collisions in the target. The constraints are competitive for dark photon masses in the ~1-30 MeV range, covering part of the parameter space that can reconcile the apparent (g-2)_{\mu} anomaly. Simple adjustments to the original SLAC search for millicharges may extend sensitivity to cover a sizable portion of the remaining (g-2)_{\mu} anomaly-motivated region. The mQ sensitivity is therefore complementary to on-going searches for visible decays of dark photons. Compared to existing direct detection searches, mQ sensitivity to electron-dark matter scattering cross sections is more than an order of magnitude better for a significant range of masses and couplings in simple models.

In this work, we present an analysis of the nonleptonic charmonium modes $B_s^0 \to J / \psi f_2^\prime(1525)$ and $B_s^0 \to J/\psi K^+K^-$. Within the framework of the factorization approach and using the perturbative QCD for the evaluation of the relevant form factors, we find a branching fraction for the two-body channel of BR$(B_s^{0} \to J/\psi f_2^{\prime}(1525)) = (1.6 {}^{+0.9}_{-0.7})\times 10^{-4}$ which is in agreement with the experimental values reported by the LHCb and Belle Collaborations. The associated polarization fractions to this vector-tensor mode are also presented. On the other hand, non-resonant and resonant contributions to the three-body decay $B_s^0 \to J/\psi K^+K^-$ are carefully investigated. The dominant contributions of the resonances $ \phi(1020)$ and $f_2^{\prime}(1525)$ are properly taken into account. A detailed analysis of the $K^+ K^-$ invariant mass distributions and Dalitz plot are also performed. The overall result BR$(B_s^{0} \to J/\psi K^+ K^-) = (9.3^{+1.3}_{-1.1})\times 10^{-4}$ is also in satisfactory agreement with the experimental information reported by LHCb and Belle.

We study the properties of quarks, being confined in hadrons, with the Schwinger-Dyson equation in the dual Ginzburg-Landau Theory. Magnetic monopole condensation, which provides quark confinement, is demonstrated responsible also for dynamical chiral-symmetry breaking. We discuss then the recovery of the chiral symmetry at finite temperature.

A method for the nonperturbative calculation of scattering amplitudes and cross sections is discussed in the context of light-cone quantization. The Lanczos-based recursion method of Haydock is suggested for the computation of matrix elements of the resolvent for the light-cone Hamiltonian, from which the T-matrix can be constructed. The scattering of composite particles is handled by a generalization of a formulation given by Wick.
