of (orthonormal) eigenfunctions, describing the vertex positions (which in a
dual way corresponds to the momentum transfers between the produced particles)

different properties from the longitudinally-polarized quark distribution
functions, especially in scaling violation, because they are decoupled from the

the electric dipole moment of the neutron is proportional to the transversity

allowed. A stable spin-1 target is, for example, the deuteron for studying the
gluon transversity. In this work, we propose a possibility for finding the
gluon transversity at hadron-accelerator facilities, especially in the
proton-deuteron Drell-Yan process with the linearly-polarized deuteron, by
showing theoretical formalism and numerical results. We show the dependencies
of the Drell-Yan cross section on the dimuon-mass squared $M_{\mu\mu}^{\,2}$,

Our results are obtained in the framework of a general formalism that deals with soft and collinear singularities using the subtraction method. We construct a Monte Carlo program that generates events at the partonic level. We use this code to give phenomenological predictions for $pp$ collisions at $\sqrt{S}=500$ GeV, relevant for the spin physics program at RHIC.

promising direction is via the detection of low-energy atmospheric neutrinos
(below a few hundred MeV), to which a variety of near-term experiments will
have much-improved sensitivity. Here we focus on probing these neutrinos
through distinctive nuclear signatures of exclusive neutrino-carbon
interactions -- those that lead to detectable nuclear-decay signals with low
backgrounds -- in both neutral-current and charged-current channels. The
neutral-current signature is a line at 15.11 MeV and the charged-current
signatures are two- or three-fold coincidences with delayed decays. We
calculate the prospects for identifying such events in the Jiangmen Underground
Neutrino Observatory (JUNO), a large-scale liquid-scintillator detector. A
five-year exposure would yield about 16 neutral-current events (all flavors)
and about 16 charged-current events (mostly from $\nu_e + \bar{\nu}_e$, with
some from $\nu_\mu + \bar{\nu}_\mu$), and thus roughly 25\% uncertainties on
each of their rates. Our results show the potential of JUNO to make the first
identified measurement of sub-100 MeV atmospheric neutrinos. They also are a
step towards multi-detector studies of low-energy atmospheric neutrinos, with
the goal of identifying additional distinctive nuclear signatures for carbon
and other targets.

suggest that the claimed excess can be well explained by 7-10 GeV annihilating
dark matter with a power law density profile if the dark matter annihilates
predominantly to tau pairs. In this paper we present such a dark matter model
by extending the MSSM to include four Higgs doublets and one scalar singlet. A
Z2 symmetry is imposed that enforces a Yukawa structure so that the up quarks,
down quarks, and leptons each receive mass from a distinct doublet. This leads
to an enhanced coupling of scalars to leptons and allows the model to naturally
achieve the required phenomenology in order to explain the gamma ray excess.
Our model yields the correct dark matter thermal relic density and avoids
collider bounds from measurements of the Z width as well as direct production
at LEP.

$\bar{\Lambda}$ production in deep-inelastic scattering of polarized charged
leptons on the nucleon, and find that the pattern of different behaviors of
$\Lambda$ and $\bar{\Lambda}$ production observed by the E665 Collaboration
suggests the possibility of quark-antiquark asymmetries either in the quark to
$\Lambda$ fragmentation functions and/or in the quark and antiquark
distributions of the target proton. We also point out that the
strange-antistrange asymmetry of the nucleon sea may produce an observable
contribution to the different behaviors of $\Lambda$ and $\bar{\Lambda}$
production. We find that a softer $\bar{s}(x)$ than $s(x)$ as predicted by the

the nucleon sea might lead to a reasonable picture. However, the magnitude is
still too small to explain the E665 data and the conclusion has also strong

] | We present a general analysis of the spin transfer for $\Lambda$ and $\bar{\Lambda}$ production in deep-inelastic scattering of polarized charged leptons on the nucleon, and find that the pattern of different behaviors of $\Lambda$ and $\bar{\Lambda}$ production observed by the E665 Collaboration suggests the possibility of quark-antiquark asymmetries either in the quark to $\Lambda$ fragmentation functions and/or in the quark and antiquark distributions of the target proton. We also point out that the strange-antistrange asymmetry of the nucleon sea may produce an observable contribution to the different behaviors of $\Lambda$ and $\bar{\Lambda}$ production. We find that a softer $\bar{s}(x)$ than $s(x)$ as predicted by the light-cone baryon-meson fluctuation model of intrinsic quark-antiquark pairs of the nucleon sea might lead to a reasonable picture. However, the magnitude is still too small to explain the E665 data and the conclusion has also strong model-dependence. This may suggest the importance of quark-antiquark asymmetry in the quark to $\Lambda$ fragmentation functions, provided that the E665 data are confirmed. |

detailed analysis is performed for the projected transverse momentum $\langle

carrying different transverse momenta and emitted from different angular
directions. We find that the transverse momentum projection $\langle
\slashed{p}_{T}^{||} \rangle $ in the leading jet direction is mainly
contributed by hard hadrons ($p_T > 8.0$~GeV/$c$) in both peripheral and
central PbPb collisions, while the opposite direction in central collisions is
dominated by soft hadrons ($p_T = 0.5$-$2.0$~GeV/$c$). The study of in-cone and
out-of-cone contributions to $\langle \slashed{p}_{T}^{||} \rangle$ shows that
these soft hadrons are mostly emitted at large angles away from the dijet axis.
Our AMPT calculation is in qualitative agreement with the CMS measurements and
the primary mechanism for the energy transported to large angles in the AMPT
model is the elastic scattering at the partonic stage. Future studies including
also inelastic processes should be helpful in understanding the overestimation
of the magnitudes of in-cone and out-of-cone imbalances from our AMPT
calculations, and shed light on different roles played by radiative and
collisional processes in the redistribution of the lost energy from hard jets.

the resummation of the $\ln^2(1/x)$ corrections | Habilitation thesis (in Polish); 23 pages, latex, 1 figure | null | null | null | hep-ph | null | In this thesis we consider the polarized deep inelastic scattering in the
region of low values of Bjorken variable, $x$. We formulate the evolution
equations for the unintegrated parton distributions which include a complete
resummation of the double logarithmic contributions, $\ln^2(1/x)$. Afterwards,
these equations are completed with the standard LO and NLO DGLAP evolution
terms, in order to obtain the proper behaviour of the parton distributions at
moderate and large values of $x$. The equations obtained are applied to the
following observables and processes: (i) to the nucleon structure function,
$g_1$, in the polarized deep inelastic scattering, (ii) to the structure
function of the polarized photon, $g_1^{\gamma}$, in the scattering of a lepton
on a polarized photon, and (iii) to the differential structure function, $x_J
d^2g_1/dx_J dk_J^2$, in the polarized deep inelastic scattering accompanied by
a forward jet. Case (iii) is proposed to be a test process for the presence and
the magnitude of the $\ln^2(1/x)$ contributions. For each process the
consequences of including the logarithmic corrections are studied in a detail.
After integrating out the structure function, $g_1$, the moments of the nucleon
structure function are obtained. The contribution of the region of low $x$ to
these moments is estimated, and then discussed in the context of the spin sum
rules. Finally, some predictions for the observables, the asymmetry and the
cross sections, in the processes (i)-(iii) are given. They are important to
planned experiments with the polarized HERA and linear colliders, which will
probe the region of low values of Bjorken $x$.

search experiments | Accepted in JHEP | null | null | null | hep-ph | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ | The relic density of Dark Matter (DM) in the freeze-in scenario is highly
dependent on the evolution history of the universe and changes significantly in
a non-standard (NS) cosmological framework prior to Big Bang Nucleosynthesis

the universe at early times (before BBN), resulting in a larger cosmological
expansion rate at a given temperature compared to the standard
radiation-dominated (RD) universe. To investigate the production of DM in the
freeze-in scenario, we consider both standard RD and NS cosmological picture
before BBN and perform a comparative analysis. We extend the Standard Model
(SM) particle content with a SM singlet DM particle $\chi $ and an axion-like
particle (ALP) $a$. The interactions between ALP, SM particles, and DM are
generated by higher dimensional effective operators. This setup allows the
production of DM $\chi$ from SM bath through the mediation of ALP, via
ALP-portal processes. These interactions involve non-renormalizable operators,
leading to ultraviolet (UV) freeze-in, which depends on the reheating
temperature ($T_{RH}$) of the early universe. In the NS cosmological scenario,
the faster expansion rate suppresses the DM production processes, allowing for
enhanced effective couplings between the visible and dark sectors to satisfy
the observed DM abundance compared to RD scenario. This improved coupling
increases the detection prospects for freeze-in DM via the ALP-portal, which is
otherwise challenging to detect in RD universe due to small couplings involved.
Using an effective field theory set-up, we show that various ALP searches such
as in FASER, DUNE, and SHiP, etc. will be able to probe significant parameter
space depending on the different model parameters.

macroscopic scales, leading to a significant increase of the detection cross
section. We concentrate on radiative neutrino scattering on atomic electrons
(or on free electrons in a conductor). Such processes can be coherent provided
that the net electron recoil momentum, i.e. the momentum transfer from the
neutrino minus the momentum of the emitted photon, is sufficiently small. The
radiative processes is an attractive possibility as the energy of the emitted
photons can be as large as the momentum transfer to the electron system and
therefore the problem of detecting extremely low energy recoils can be avoided.
The requirement of macroscopic coherence severely constrains the phase space
available for the scattered particle and the emitted photon. We show that in
the case of the scattering mediated by the usual weak neutral current and
charged current interactions this leads to a strong suppression of the
elementary cross sections and therefore the requirement of macroscopic
coherence results in a reduction rather than an increase of the total detection
cross section. However, for the $\nu e$ scattering mediated by neutrino
magnetic or electric dipole moments coherence effects can actually increase the
detection rates. Effects of macroscopic coherence can also allow detection of
neutrinos in 100 eV -- a few keV energy range, which is currently not
accessible to the experiment. A similar coherent enhancement mechanism can work
for relativistic particles in the dark sector, but not for the conventionally
considered non-relativistic dark matter.

find that the pseudoscalar mesons $\eta'(2^1S_0)$, $\eta(4^1S_0)$,
$\eta'(3^1S_0)$ and $\eta'(4^1S_0)$ are the possible candidates of
$\eta(1760)$, X(1835), X(2120) and X(2370). The strong decay widths of these
pseudoscalars to all the possible decay modes are calculated within the
framework of the $^3P_0$ model. Although the total width of $\eta'(2^1S_0)$ is
compatible with the experimental value of BES for $\eta(1760)$, the partial
decay width to $\omega\omega$ is too small, which is not consistent with the
result of BES. If the state X(1835) is interpreted as $\eta(4^1S_0)$, the total
decay width is compatible with the experimental data, and the main decay modes
will be $\pi a_0(980)$ and $\pi a_0(1450)$, which needs to be checked. The
assignment of X(2120) and X(2370) to $\eta'(3^1S_0)$ and $\eta'(4^1S_0)$ is
also disfavored in the present calculation because of the incompatibility of
the decay widths.

] | By analyzing the meson spectra obtained in the constituent quark model, we find that the pseudoscalar mesons $\eta'(2^1S_0)$, $\eta(4^1S_0)$, $\eta'(3^1S_0)$ and $\eta'(4^1S_0)$ are the possible candidates of $\eta(1760)$, X(1835), X(2120) and X(2370). The strong decay widths of these pseudoscalars to all the possible decay modes are calculated within the framework of the $^3P_0$ model. Although the total width of $\eta'(2^1S_0)$ is compatible with the experimental value of BES for $\eta(1760)$, the partial decay width to $\omega\omega$ is too small, which is not consistent with the result of BES. If the state X(1835) is interpreted as $\eta(4^1S_0)$, the total decay width is compatible with the experimental data, and the main decay modes will be $\pi a_0(980)$ and $\pi a_0(1450)$, which needs to be checked. The assignment of X(2120) and X(2370) to $\eta'(3^1S_0)$ and $\eta'(4^1S_0)$ is also disfavored in the present calculation because of the incompatibility of the decay widths. |

quintessential model with an inverse-power-law potential and a Hubble-induced
mass term for the quintessence field. The presence of kination is associated
with an oscillating evolution of the quintessence field and the barotropic
index. We find that, in sizeable regions of the parameter space, a tracker
scaling solution can be reached sufficiently early to alleviate the coincidence
problem. Other observational constraints originating from nucleosynthesis, the
inflationary scale, the present acceleration of the universe and the
dark-energy-density parameter can be also met. The impact of this modified
kination-dominated phase on the thermal abundance of cold dark matter
candidates is investigated too. We find that: (i) the enhancement of the relic
abundance of the WIMPs with respect to the standard paradigm, crucially depends
on the hierarchy between the freeze-out temperature and the temperature at
which the extrema in the evolution of the quintessence field are encountered,
and (ii) the relic abundance of e-WIMPs takes its present value close to the
temperature at which the earliest extremum of the evolution of the quintessence
field occurs and, as a consequence, both gravitinos and axinos arise as natural
cold dark matter candidates. In the case of unstable gravitinos, the gravitino
constraint can be satisfied for values of the initial temperature well above
those required in the standard cosmology.

We will also describe how such models can be tested, what are the key observables one focuses on, and illustrate the general strategy with a subjective selection of results. |

Dynamics of Gauge Fields | null | null | null | hep-ph | null | We review recent progress on the phenomena of color superconductivity in high
density quark matter. We begin with a brief overview of the unique aspects of
physics near a Fermi surface and the implications for renormalization group
(RG) techniques. We next discuss the qualitative differences between asymptotic
densities, where the effective coupling constant can be made arbitrarily small,
and intermediate densities where quark matter is still strongly coupled. It is
in the latter regime where RG techniques are particularly useful, in that they
yield a generic description of possible behaviors without relying on an
expansion in the strong coupling constant. Finally, we discuss aspects of the
QCD groundstate at asymptotic densities, which can be determined in a

the use of the Scherk-Schwarz mechanism to contribute to the breaking of the
bulk custodial group down to the SM gauge symmetry. Moreover, no right-handed

] | Charged-particle multiplicity and summed values of the transverse momentum ($p_{\rm T}$) have been utilized for estimating forward-backward (FB) correlation strength for EPOS3 simulated proton-proton ($pp$) events with and without hydrodynamical evolution of particles at center-of-mass energies $\sqrt{s}$ = 0.9, 2.76, and 7 TeV for different pseudorapidity window width ($\delta\eta$) and gap ($\eta_{gap}$) between the FB windows. We have studied the variation of FB correlation strength with $\eta_{gap}$, $\delta\eta$, $\sqrt{s}$, $p_{\rm T}$ cuts and multiplicity classes. Results are compared with the corresponding ALICE and ATLAS data. EPOS3 model qualitatively reproduces the overall variation of correlation strength of the LHC data. However, quantitative agreement is better for $pp$ events, generated using EPOS3 with hydrodynamical evolution of particles, with ATLAS data. |
