Changing Neutral Current(FCNC) processes that must have sufficient flavor

the NP effects to FCNC processes. We consider the possibility that the source
of NP contributions to FCNC processes share the same flavor symmetry underlying
the SM source of FCNC processes which are the quark and lepton mass matrices.
We call this the principle of shared flavor symmetry. In the flavor symmetric
limit, the quark and lepton mixing matrices have fixed forms and there are no
NP FCNC processes. In the flavor symmetric limit, we take the quark mixing
matrix to be the identity matrix and the lepton mixing matrix to be given by
tri-bimaximal mixing. Realistic mixing matrices are obtained by the small
breaking of the flavor symmetry. New contributions to FCNC processes arise
because of non universal breaking of the flavor symmetry in the quark and
lepton mass matrices and the NP sources of FCNC processes. In particular, we
will focus on new FCNC effects that arise due to the breaking of flavor
symmetry only in the quark and charged lepton mass matrices but not in the NP
sector. In this scenario, NP contributions to FCNC processes is linked to the
source of flavor symmetry breaking in the quark and charged lepton mass
matrices. To demonstrate the mechanism we use a two higgs doublet model as an
example of beyond the SM physics though one should be able to adapt this
mechanism to other models of new physics.

calculations with such an approximate CSPF, a problem arises in the limit of

By probing the behavior of some useful thermodynamic response functions on the
hole range of temperature, it turns out that in a finite size system, all
singularities in the thermodynamic limit are smeared out and the transition
point is shifted away. A numerical finite size scaling analysis of the obtained
data allows us to determine the scaling exponents of the QCD DPT. Our results
expressing the equality between their values and the space dimensionality is a
consequence of the singularity characterizing a first order phase transition

published in JHEP; | null | 10.1007/JHEP02(2019)121 | null | hep-ph | http://arxiv.org/licenses/nonexclusive-distrib/1.0/ | We investigate the determination of the Higgs-boson propagator poles in the
MSSM. Based upon earlier works, we point out that in case of a large hierarchy
between the electroweak scale and one or more SUSY masses a numerical
determination with $\overline{\text{DR}}$ Higgs field renormalization induces
higher order terms which would cancel in a more complete calculation. The
origin of these terms is the momentum dependence of contributions involving at
least one of the heavy particles. We present two different methods to avoid
their appearance. In the first approach, the poles are determined by expanding
around the one-loop solutions. In the second approach, a "heavy-OS" Higgs field
renormalization is employed in order to absorb the momentum dependence of heavy
contributions. We will find that the first approach leads to an unwanted

] | We investigate the determination of the Higgs-boson propagator poles in the MSSM. Based upon earlier works, we point out that in case of a large hierarchy between the electroweak scale and one or more SUSY masses a numerical determination with $\overline{\text{DR}}$ Higgs field renormalization induces higher order terms which would cancel in a more complete calculation. The origin of these terms is the momentum dependence of contributions involving at least one of the heavy particles. We present two different methods to avoid their appearance. In the first approach, the poles are determined by expanding around the one-loop solutions. In the second approach, a "heavy-OS" Higgs field renormalization is employed in order to absorb the momentum dependence of heavy contributions. We will find that the first approach leads to an unwanted behaviour of the Higgs boson mass predictions close to crossing points where two Higgs bosons that mix with each other are almost mass degenerate. These problems are avoided in the second approach, which became the default approach used in the public code FeynHiggs. Despite the discussion being very specific to the MSSM, the argumentation and the methods presented in this work are straightforwardly applicable to the determination of propagator poles in other models involving a large mass hierarchy. |

] | We revisit the WMAP dark matter constraints on Yukawa Unification in the presence of massive neutrinos. The large neutrino mixing indicated by the data modifies the predictions for the bottom quark mass, and enables Yukawa also for large $\tan\beta$, and for positive $\mu$ that were previously disfavoured. As a result, the allowed parameter space for neutralino dark matter also increases, particularly for areas with resonant enhancement of the neutralino relic density. |

(treated as a compact tetraquark) at the end of the quark gluon plasma phase in

factors derived from QCD sum rules for the vertices $Z_{cs}\bar{D}_{s }^* D $

gamma rays with a peak around $1-3$ GeV in the region surrounding the galactic
center. This anomalous excess can be described well by a dark matter candidate
having mass in the range $31-40$ GeV annihilating into $b\bar{b}$ pairs with a
cross section of $< \sigma v > \simeq (1.4-2.0) \times 10^{-26} \;
\text{cm}^3/\text{s}$. In this work we explore the possibility of having such a
dark matter candidate within the framework of a radiative neutrino mass model.
The model is a simple extension of the standard model by an additional $U(1)_X$
gauge symmetry where the standard model neutrino masses arise both at tree
level as well as radiatively by the anomaly free addition of one singlet
fermion $N_R$ and two triplet fermions $\Sigma_{1R}, \Sigma_{2R}$ with suitable
Higgs scalars. The spontaneous gauge symmetry breaking is achieved in such a
way which results in a residual $Z_2$ symmetry and hence providing a stable
cold dark matter candidate. We show that the singlet fermionic dark matter
candidate in our model can give rise to the galactic center gamma ray excess.
The parameter space which simultaneously satisfy the constraints on relic
density, direct detection scattering as well as collider bounds essentially
corresponds to an s-wave resonance where the gauge boson mass $m_X$ is
approximately twice that of dark matter mass $m_{\chi}$. We also discuss the
compatibility of such a light fermion singlet dark matter with light neutrino
mass.

] | The correlation coefficients a, A, and B in neutron beta-decay are proportional to the ratio of the axial-vector to vector weak coupling constants, g_A/g_V, to leading recoil order. With the advent of the next generation of neutron decay experiments, the recoil-order corrections to these expressions become experimentally accessible, admitting a plurality of Standard Model (SM) tests. The measurement of both a and A, e.g., allows one to test the conserved-vector-current (CVC) hypothesis and to search for second-class currents (SCC) independently. The anticipated precision of these measurements suggests that the bounds on CVC violation and SCC from studies of nuclear beta-decay can be qualitatively bettered. Departures from SM expectations can be interpreted as evidence for non-V-A currents. |

polar angle of the recoil electrons, and/or also the energy of the outgoing
electrons with a high resolution. A detection process is the elastic scattering
of $\nu_e$s (Dirac or Majorana) on the polarized electrons. Left chiral (LC)
$\nu_e$s interact mainly by the standard $V - A$ interaction, while right
chiral (RC) ones participate only in the non-standard $V + A$, scalar $S_R$,
pseudoscalar $P_R$ and tensor $T_R$ interactions. All the interactions are of
flavour-conserving type (FC). We show that a distinction between the Dirac and
the Majorana $\nu_e$ s is possible both for the longitudinal and the
transversal $\nu_e$ polarizations. In the first case a departure from the
standard prediction of the azimuthal asymmetry of recoil electrons is caused by
the interferences between the non-standard complex S and T couplings. Such a
deviation would indicate the Dirac $\nu_e$ nature and the presence of time
reversal symmetry violation (TRSV) interactions. In the second case the
azimuthal asymmetries, polar distribution and energy spectrum of scattered
electrons are sensitive to the interference terms between the standard and
exotic interactions, proportional to the various angular correlations. Our
model-independent study is carried out for the flavour $\nu_e$ eigenstates in
the relativistic $\nu_e$ limit.

] | Possibility of using the polarized electron target (PET) for testing the neutrino nature is considered. One assumes that the incoming electron neutrino ($\nu_e$) beam is the superposition of left chiral states with right chiral ones. Consequently the non-vanishing transversal components of $\nu_e$ spin polarization may appear, both T-even and T-odd. $\nu_e$s are produced by the low energy monochromatic (un)polarized emitter located at a near distance from the hypothetical detector which is able to measure both the azimuthal angle and polar angle of the recoil electrons, and/or also the energy of the outgoing electrons with a high resolution.

the experimental sensitivities to electromagnetically-coupled ALP DM in
different cosmological scenarios with the relic abundance set by the
misalignment mechanism. We obtain benchmark DM targets for the standard thermal
cosmology, a pre-nucleosynthesis period of early matter domination, and a
period of kination. These targets are theoretically simple and assume
$\mathcal{O}(1)$ misalignment angles, avoiding fine-tuning of the initial
conditions. We find that some experiments will have sensitivity to these ALP DM
targets before they are sensitive to the QCD axion, and others can potentially
reach interesting targets below the QCD band. The ALP DM abundance also depends
on the origin of the ALP mass. Temperature-dependent masses that are generated
by strong dynamics (as for the QCD axion) correspond to DM candidates with
smaller decay constants, resulting in even better detection prospects.

The ALP DM abundance also depends on the origin of the ALP mass. Temperature-dependent masses that are generated by strong dynamics (as for the QCD axion) correspond to DM candidates with smaller decay constants, resulting in even better detection prospects. |

signatures at dark matter direct detection and neutrino experiments. We study
the possible signals from fermionic absorption by nuclear targets, which we
divide into two classes of four Fermi operators: neutral and charged current.
In the neutral current signal, dark matter is absorbed by a target nucleus and
a neutrino is emitted. This results in a characteristically different nuclear
recoil energy spectrum from that of elastic scattering. The charged current
channel leads to induced $\beta$ decays in isotopes which are stable in vacuum
as well as shifts of the kinematic endpoint of $ \beta$ spectra in unstable
isotopes. To confirm the possibility of observing these signals in light of
other constraints, we introduce UV completions of example higher dimensional
operators that lead to fermionic absorption signals and study their
phenomenology. Most prominently, dark matter which exhibits fermionic
absorption signals is necessarily unstable leading to stringent bounds from
indirect detection searches. Nevertheless, we find a large viable parameter
space in which dark matter is sufficiently long lived and detectable in current
and future experiments.

the instanton-vacuum configuration for the flavor SU(2) sector and the

the Workshop "Physics at TeV Colliders", Les Houches, France, 2-20 May, 2005.
On the one hand, we performed a variety of experimental and theoretical studies
on standard candles (such as W, Z, and ttbar production), treating them either
as proper signals of known physics, or as backgrounds to unknown physics; we
also addressed issues relevant to those non-perturbative or semi-perturbative
ingredients, such as Parton Density Functions and Underlying Events, whose
understanding will be crucial for a proper simulation of the actual events
taking place in the detectors. On the other hand, several channels for the
production of the Higgs, or involving the Higgs, have been considered in some
detail. The report is structured into four main parts. The first one deals with
Standard Model physics, except the Higgs. A variety of arguments are treated
here, from full simulation of processes constituting a background to Higgs
production, to studies of uncertainties due to PDFs and to extrapolations of
models for underlying events, from small-$x$ issues to electroweak corrections
which may play a role in vector boson physics. The second part of the report
treats Higgs physics from the point of view of the signal. In the third part,
reviews are presented on the current status of multi-leg, next-to-leading order
and of next-to-next-to-leading order QCD computations. Finally, the fourth part
deals with the use of Monte Carlos for simulation of LHC physics.

] | This Report summarises the activities of the "SM and Higgs" working group for the Workshop "Physics at TeV Colliders", Les Houches, France, 2-20 May, 2005. On the one hand, we performed a variety of experimental and theoretical studies on standard candles (such as W, Z, and ttbar production), treating them either as proper signals of known physics, or as backgrounds to unknown physics; we also addressed issues relevant to those non-perturbative or semi-perturbative ingredients, such as Parton Density Functions and Underlying Events, whose understanding will be crucial for a proper simulation of the actual events taking place in the detectors. On the other hand, several channels for the production of the Higgs, or involving the Higgs, have been considered in some detail. The report is structured into four main parts. The first one deals with Standard Model physics, except the Higgs. A variety of arguments are treated here, from full simulation of processes constituting a background to Higgs production, to studies of uncertainties due to PDFs and to extrapolations of models for underlying events, from small-$x$ issues to electroweak corrections which may play a role in vector boson physics. The second part of the report treats Higgs physics from the point of view of the signal. In the third part, reviews are presented on the current status of multi-leg, next-to-leading order and of next-to-next-to-leading order QCD computations. Finally, the fourth part deals with the use of Monte Carlos for simulation of LHC physics. |

relative small electroweak penguin effects in those decays, the weak phase
$\gamma$ and the strong phase $\delta$ can be determined in a model independent

that the current experimental data for $B\to \pi\pi$ and $\pi K$ decays prefer
a negative value of $\cos\gamma\cos\delta$. By combining with the other
constraints from $V_{ub}$, $B^{0}_{d,s}-\bar{B}^{0}_{d,s}$ mixings and indirect
CP-violating parameter $\epsilon_K$ within the standard model, two favorable
solutions for the phases $\gamma$ and $\delta$ are found to lie in the region:
$35^{\circ}\alt\gamma\alt 62^{\circ}$ and $106^{\circ}\alt \delta \alt
180^{\circ}$ or $86^{\circ}\alt\gamma\alt 151^{\circ}$ and
$0^{\circ}\alt\delta\alt 75^{\circ} $ within 1$\sigma$ standard deviation. It
is noted that if allowing the standard deviation of the data to be more than
1$\sigma$, the two solutions could approach to one solution with a much larger
region for the phases $\gamma$ and $\delta$. Direct CP asymme try
$a_{\epsilon''}^{(\pi^- K^+)}$ in $B\rarrow \pi^-K^+$ decay can be as large as
the present experimental upper bound. Direct CP asymmetry
$a_{\epsilon''}^{(\pi^+\pi^-)}$ in $B\rarrow \pi^-\pi^+$ decay can reach up to
about 40% at 1$\sigma$ level.

Left-Right symmetric and therefore possessing gauged $B-L$ symmetry. The
requirement of breaking parity and also obtaining charge preserving vacua
introduces some unique features to this model (MSLRM), resulting in a
preference for non-thermal Leptogenesis. Assuming that the model preserves TeV
scale supersymmetry, we show that the vacuum structure generically possesses
domain walls, which can serve two important purposes. They can signal a
secondary inflation required to remove unwanted relics such as gravitino and
moduli and also generate lepton asymmetry by a mechanism similar to electroweak
baryogenesis. The requirement of disappearance of domain walls imposes
constraints on the soft parameters of the theory, testable at the TeV scale. We
also propose an alternative model with spontaneous parity violation
(MSLR\rlap/P). Incorporating the same cosmological considerations in this case
entails constraints on a different set of soft parameters.

exponentiate as well. This leads to a non-perturbative factorization formula

be contrasted with the OPE. Two examples are discussed. The first is
event-shape distributions in the two-jet region, where a wealth of precise data
provides a strong motivation for the improved perturbative technique and an
ideal situation to study hadronization. The second example is deep inelastic
structure functions. In contrast to event shapes, structure functions have an
OPE. However, since the OPE breaks down at large x, it does not provide a
practical framework for the parametrization of power corrections. Performing a
detailed analysis of twist 4 it is shown precisely how the twist-2 renormalon
ambiguity eventually cancels out. This analysis provides a physical picture
which substantiates the non-perturbative factorization conjecture.

the dynamics for the electroweak symmetry breaking. We find various advantages
compared to the non-supersymmetric models, such as a natural incorporation of
the dynamical top-quark mass generation (the topcolor mechanism), the existence
of a boson-pair condensation (the composite Higgs fields) and a large anomalous
dimension of the composite operator to cure the flavor-changing-neutral-current
and the S-parameter crises of the technicolor theories. The knowledge of the
weakly coupled description (the Seiberg duality) enables us to perform
perturbative computations in strongly coupled theories. Working in a large
flavor theory where perturbative calculations are reliable in the dual
description, one can find a stable vacuum with chiral symmetry breaking. The
top/bottom quarks and also the Higgsinos obtain masses through a dynamically

By the calculation within chiral unitary approach where $f_1(1285)$ resonance is dynamically generated from the $K^*\bar{K}-c.c.$ interaction, we find that the $\bar{K}^{*0} K^0$ invariant mass distribution has a clear broad peak. Such broad peak has been understood as the signal of the $f_1(1285)$. Finally, we obtain a theoretical result $R_t=\Gamma_{\bar{B}^0 \to J/\psi \bar{K}^{*0} K^0}/\Gamma_{\bar{B}^0 \to J/\psi f_1(1285)}$ which is expected to be compared with the experimental data. |

While the main contribution to the interference originates on the $gg$ partonic
subprocess, we find that the corrections from the $qg$ and $q\bar{q}$ channels
amount up to 35% of it. We discuss the effect of these new subprocesses in the
shift of the diphoton invariant mass peak recently reported by S. Martin in
Ref.\cite{Martin:2012xc}.

properties since its first observation in 2017 by the COHERENT experiment
exploiting the spallation neutron source at Oak Ridge National Laboratory. In
light of the recent detection of such a process with antineutrinos produced by
the Dresden-II reactor scattering off a germanium detector, we revisit the
limits so far set on the neutrino magnetic moments, charge radii and
millicharges as well as on the weak mixing angle. In order to do so, we also
include the contribution of elastic neutrino-electron scattering, whose effect
becomes non negligible in some beyond the Standard Model theories. By using
different hypotheses for the germanium quenching factor and the reactor
antineutrino flux, we provide a measurement of the weak mixing angle at the
low-energy scale of the Dresden-II reactor experiment and, thanks to a combined
analysis with the latest cesium iodide and argon data set released by the
COHERENT Collaboration, we deliver updated limits for the neutrino
electromagnetic properties. Interestingly, we are able to set a new best upper
limit on the electron neutrino charge radius and significantly improve the
other CE$\nu$NS-related limits on the neutrino electric charge and magnetic
moment.

functions in QCD/QED for n= 2, 3 and 4 in the physical representation in the
real time formalism (RTF). The result showed that the n-point HTL vertex
functions can be classified into two groups, a) those with odd numbers of
external retarded indices, and b) the others with even numbers of external
retarded indices. The n-point HTL vertex functions with one retarded index,
which obviously belong to the first group a), are nothing but the HTL vertex
functions that appear in the imaginary time formalism (ITF), and vise versa.
All the HTL vertex functions belonging to the first group a) are of $O(g^2T^2)$

the ITF. Those vertex functions belonging to the second group b) never appear
in the ITF, namely their existence is characteristic of the RTF, and their
HTL's have the high temperature behavior of $O(g^2T^3)$, one-power of T higher
than usual. Despite this difference we could verify that those HTL vertex
functions belonging to the second group b) also satisfy among themselves the
QED-type Ward-Takahashi identities, thus guaranteeing the gauge invariance of
the HTL's in the real time thermal QCD/QED.

the exclusive t -> bW decay. We argue in favor of using the three body decays
t-> bf_i\bar{f}_j to compute \Gamma_t as a sum over these exclusive modes. As
dictated by the S-matrix theory, these three body decays of the top quark
involve only asymptotic states and incorporate the width of the W boson
resonance in a natural way. The convolution formula (CF) commonly used to
include the finite width effects is found to be valid, in the general case,
when the intermediate resonance couples to a conserved current (limit of
massless fermions in the case of W bosons). The relation Gamma_t=\Gamma(t-> bW)
is recovered by taking the limit of massless fermions followed by the W boson
narrow width approximation. Although both calculations of \Gamma_t are
different at the formal level, their results would differ only by tiny effects
induced by light fermion masses and higher order radiative corrections.
