electron is investigated theoretically. An effective hadronic Uehling potential
obtained from measured cross sections of $e^- e^+$ annihilation into hadrons is
employed to calculate $g$ factor corrections for low-lying hydrogenic levels.
Analytical Dirac-Coulomb wave functions, as well as bound wave functions
accounting for the finite nuclear radius are used. Closed formulas for the $g$
factor shift in case of a point-like nucleus are derived. In heavy ions, such

An exact treatment yields a structure $[1/k^2 + 2\mu^2/k^4]$ for the gluon
propagator, where $\sigma^2$ =$\pi k^4/9\mu^2\alpha_s$, showing $linear$
confinement in the instantaneous limit. This propagator was recently employed
to evaluate some basic condensates and their temperature dependence (in the
cosmological context), which were all reproduced for $\mu = 1GeV$ (termed the
`confinement scale parameter'), in association with the QCD scale parameter
$\Lambda_{qcd}= 200 MeV$ [hep-ph/0109278]. This paper seeks to provide a formal
basis for the ratio $\Lambda_{qcd} / \mu$ by employing the minimality condition
for the $integrated$ effective action $\Gamma$, up to the 2-loop level, using
the Cornwall-Jackiw formalism for composite operators. To that end the mass
function $m(p)$, determined via the Schwinger-Dyson equation (as a zero of the
functional derivative of $\Gamma$ w.r.t $S_F'$), acts as a feeder, and the
stationarity condition on $\Gamma$ as function of $\mu$ and $\alpha_s(\mu)$
gives the ratio $\Lambda /\mu$ = 0.246, in fair accord with the value 0.20
given above. Inclusion of a two-loop $\Gamma$ is crucial for the agreement. \\

low soft scalar mass, a lepton flavor violating process provides a stringent
constraint on the flavor structure of right-handed down-type squarks. In
particular, mu -> e gamma turns out to be highly susceptible to the 1-3 and 2-3
mixings thereof, due to the radiative correction from the top Yukawa coupling
to the scalar mass terms of 10. With a higher scalar mass around the optimal
value, in contrast, the quark sector inputs such as B-meson mixings and hadron
electric dipole moment, essentially determine the room for sfermion mixing. We
also discuss the recent deviation observed in B_s mixing phase, projected

leptonic restrictions even after incorporating a solution to fix the incorrect
quark-lepton mass relations.

nuclear collisions at high energies in which coherent parton branching plays a
central role. This picture is based on the appearance of a dynamically
generated scale, the jet resolution scale, which controls the transverse
resolution power of the medium to simultaneously propagating color probes.
Since from the point of view of the medium all partonic jet fragments within
this transverse distance act coherently as a single emitter, this scale allows
us to rearrange the jet shower into effective emitters. We observe that in the
kinematic regime of the LHC, the corresponding characteristic angle is
comparable to the typical opening angle of high energy jets such that most of
the jet energy is contained within a non-resolvable color coherent inner core.
Thus, a sizable fraction of the jets are unresolved, losing energy as a single
parton without modifications of their intra-jet structure. This new picture
provides a consistent understanding of the present data on reconstructed jet
observables and constitute the basis for future developments.

] | We propose a new description of the jet quenching phenomenon observed in nuclear collisions at high energies in which coherent parton branching plays a central role. This picture is based on the appearance of a dynamically generated scale, the jet resolution scale, which controls the transverse resolution power of the medium to simultaneously propagating color probes. Since from the point of view of the medium all partonic jet fragments within this transverse distance act coherently as a single emitter, this scale allows us to rearrange the jet shower into effective emitters. We observe that in the kinematic regime of the LHC, the corresponding characteristic angle is comparable to the typical opening angle of high energy jets such that most of the jet energy is contained within a non-resolvable color coherent inner core. Thus, a sizable fraction of the jets are unresolved, losing energy as a single parton without modifications of their intra-jet structure. This new picture provides a consistent understanding of the present data on reconstructed jet observables and constitute the basis for future developments. |

an exploratory study of the contribution to the elliptic flow $v_2$ coming from
the orientation of the momentum of the produced particles with respect to the
reaction plane. Via the CGC factorization valid at high energies, this
contribution is related to the orientation of a color dipole with respect to
its impact parameter, which in turn probes the transverse inhomogeneity in the
target. Using the McLerran-Venugopalan model (with impact-parameter dependence)
as an effective description for the soft gluon distribution in the (proton or
nuclear) target, we present a semi-analytic calculation of the dipole
scattering amplitude, including its angular dependence. We find that the
angular dependence is controlled by soft gluon exchanges and hence is genuinely
non-perturbative. The effects of multiple scattering turn out to be essential
(in particular, they change the sign of $v_2$). We find that sizable values for
$v_2$, comparable to those observed in the LHC data and having a similar
dependence upon the transverse momenta of the produced particles, can be easily
generated via peripheral collisions. In particular, $v_2$ develops a peak at a
transverse momentum which scales with the saturation momentum in the target.

] | For ultrarelativistic proton-proton and proton-nucleus collisions, we perform an exploratory study of the contribution to the elliptic flow $v_2$ coming from the orientation of the momentum of the produced particles with respect to the reaction plane. Via the CGC factorization valid at high energies, this contribution is related to the orientation of a color dipole with respect to its impact parameter, which in turn probes the transverse inhomogeneity in the target. Using the McLerran-Venugopalan model (with impact-parameter dependence) as an effective description for the soft gluon distribution in the (proton or nuclear) target, we present a semi-analytic calculation of the dipole scattering amplitude, including its angular dependence. We find that the angular dependence is controlled by soft gluon exchanges and hence is genuinely non-perturbative. The effects of multiple scattering turn out to be essential (in particular, they change the sign of $v_2$). We find that sizable values for $v_2$, comparable to those observed in the LHC data and having a similar dependence upon the transverse momenta of the produced particles, can be easily generated via peripheral collisions. In particular, $v_2$ develops a peak at a transverse momentum which scales with the saturation momentum in the target. |

provided the pseudoscalar couplings deviate from the case of a Nambu-Goldstone

decays into a photon pair at one loop, or into a tau pair at tree level.
Electroweak production of $\tau^{\prime +} \tau^{\prime -}$ leads to a rich
phenomenology at colliders, including signals with many taus or photons. We
analyze in detail the LHC signal involving two prompt taus and two displaced

new approach for heavy-quark-QGP interaction with a (3+1)-dimensional

satisfactory description of heavy meson $R_\mathrm{AA}$ and $v_2$ from low to

model-data-comparison, we extract for the first time the in-medium heavy quark

non-perturbative interactions are indispensible for understanding heavy flavor

The modification of pruning brings an improved ability to discriminate between the different colour structures that characterise signal and background. As we outline in an extensive phenomenological discussion, these results provide valuable insight into the performance of existing tools and help lay robust foundations for future substructure studies. |

The novel
feature of our solution is that it uses dynamics of the hidden sector, which is
often present in models with dynamical supersymmetry breaking. We give an
explicit example model of gauge mediation where a very simple messenger sector
generates both mu and B_mu at one loop. The usual problem, that B_mu is then
too large, is solved by strong renormalization effects from the hidden sector
which suppress B_mu relative to mu. Our mechanism relies on an assumption about
the signs of certain incalculable anomalous dimensions in the hidden sector.
Making these assumptions not only allows us to solve the mu/B_mu problem but
also leads to a characteristic superpartner spectrum which would be a smoking
gun signal for our mechanism.

] | We review the description of tunnelling phenomena in the semi-classical approximation in ordinary quantum mechanics and in quantum field theory. In particular, we describe in detail the calculation, up to the first quantum corrections, of the decay probability per unit time of a metastable ground state. We apply the relevant formalism to the case of the standard model of electroweak interactions, whose ground state is metastable for sufficiently large values of the top quark mass. Finally, we discuss the impact of gravitational interactions on the calculation of the tunnelling rate. |

the standard minimum becomes metastable and the possibility of decay to the

The Cornell potential is extended by including the harmonic oscillator potential. The energy eigenvalues and the corresponding wave functions are calculated in the N-dimensional space using the Nikiforov-Uvarov (NV) method. The energy eigenvalues are obtained in the three-dimensional space. The mass of spectra of charmonium, bottomonium, and mesons are calculated.

external wave packets | 32 pages, 10 figures | null | null | null | hep-ph | http://arxiv.org/licenses/nonexclusive-distrib/1.0/ | We develop a general and consistent model of neutrino oscillation based on
the quantum field theoretical description of the neutrino production and
detection processes. Emphasis is placed on the locality of the interactions of
these processes, where on top of the usual application of the four fermion
local Hamiltonian, we assume that weak interactions switched on only when the
wave functions of the particles involved are overlapping and switched off upon
their separation. A key assumption in our treatment is that the wave packet
sizes of the particles, in particular, the neutrino producing source particles
and the neutrino absorbing detector particles, are taken to be negligible
compared with their mean free path in their respective medium. With this
assumption, and taking into considerations of the finite time of neutrino
production, neutrino wave packets with well-defined edges are generated. This
fact, together with the locality of weak interactions, enable us to relate the
propagation time to the propagation distance, thus doing away with the ad hoc
time averaging procedure normally employing in derivations of neutrino
oscillation formula. No assumptions on the particular forms of particle wave
functions; for example, Gaussians, need to be made. A good feature of our
approach is that the neutrino oscillation formula is automatically normalised
if the in-going states of the production and detection processes are
normalised. We also show that causality and unitarity cannot both be satisfied

recently shown that a fully constrained complex-symmetric mass matrix can be
conveniently mapped into a sextet of $\Sigma(72\times3)$. In this paper, we
introduce an additional flavor group $X_{24}$ in the model so that the vacuum
alignment of the $\Sigma(72\times3)$ sextet is determined not only by the
symmetries of $\Sigma(72\times3)$ but also by that of $X_{24}$. We define
several flavons which transform as multiplets under $\Sigma(72\times3)$ as well
as $X_{24}$. The vacuum alignment of each of these flavons is obtained as a
simultaneous invariant eigenstate of specific elements of the groups
$\Sigma(72\times3)$ and $X_{24}$; i.e.,~the vacuum alignment is fully
determined by its residual symmetries. These flavons couple together uniquely
resulting in the fully constrained sextet of $\Sigma(72\times3)$. Through this
work we propose a general formalism in which the flavor symmetry group ($G_f$)
is obtained as the direct product, $G_f=G_r \times G_x$. Fermions transform
nontrivially only under $G_r$ while they remain invariant under $G_x$. Flavons,
on the other hand, transform nontrivially under both $G_r$ and $G_x$. The
vacuum alignment of each flavon multiplet transforming irreducibly under $G_r
\times G_x$ is uniquely identified by its corresponding residual symmetry (a
subgroup of $G_r \times G_x$). Several such flavons couple together to form an
effective multiple of $G_r$ which remains invariant under $G_x$. This effective

applies to all kinds of meson and not just to vector mesons. The parton
densities used include not only the ordinary parton density, but also the
helicity density (g_1 or $\Delta q$) and the transversity density ($h_1$ or

] | We formulate and prove a QCD factorization theorem for hard exclusive electroproduction of mesons in QCD. The proof is valid for the leading power in Q and all logarithms. This generalizes previous work on vector meson production in the diffractive region of small x. The amplitude is expressed in terms of off-diagonal generalizations of the usual parton densities. The full theorem applies to all kinds of meson and not just to vector mesons. The parton densities used include not only the ordinary parton density, but also the helicity density (g_1 or $\Delta q$) and the transversity density ($h_1$ or $\delta q$), and these can be probed by measuring the polarization of the produced mesons with unpolarized protons. |

semirelativistic bound states (of either spin-zero constituents or, upon
confining oneself to spin-averaged features, constituents with nonzero spin) by
means of the spinless Salpeter equation generalizing the Schr\"odinger equation
towards incorporation of effects caused by relativistic kinematics, we revisit
this problem for interactions between bound-state constituents of Yukawa shape,
by recalling and applying several well-known tools enabling to constrain the
resulting spectra.
