on some production properties that are the same as those of Xi_cc. The reason
is that a special colour connection on the interface between the perturbative

On the other hand, if T_cc^+ is produced as a hadron molecule, the measurement
on the momentum correlation of DD^* can be a smoking gun to make the judgement.

sectors, and the effect of preheating and related processes on their energy
densities during the evolution of the universe. Over most of parameter space,
preheating is not disrupted by the presence of extra sectors, and even
comparatively weakly coupled sectors can get an order 1 fraction of the total
energy at this time. If two sectors are both preheated, the high number
densities could also lead to inflaton mediated thermalisation. If only one
sector is preheated, Bose enhancement of the late time inflaton decays may
cause significant deviations from the perturbative prediction for their
relative reheat temperatures. Meanwhile, in Non-Oscillatory inflation models
resonant effects can result in exponentially large final temperature
differences between sectors that have similar couplings to the inflaton.
Asymmetric reheating is potentially relevant for a range of beyond the Standard
Model physics scenarios. We show that in dark matter freeze-in models, hidden
sector temperatures a factor of 10 below that of the visible sector are
typically needed for the relic abundance to be set solely by freeze-in
dynamics.

with matter", Hvar - Croatia, 11-14 September 2018 | null | null | null | hep-ph | http://arxiv.org/licenses/nonexclusive-distrib/1.0/ | I present several scenarios developed in Zagreb, in which TeV-scale particles
belonging to non-trivial weak-isospin multiplets give rise to neutrino-mass
mechanisms different from conventional type I, II and III seesaw models. Two
dim 9 tree-level mechanisms, presented first, provide an appealing testability
of their exotic TeV-scale particles at the LHC. These models are not genuine,
since their particles also provide competing dim 5 loop contributions. The
loop-models presented next are genuine, without competing tree-level
contributions. Among them, the three-loop model involves high-order weak
multiplets leading to Landau poles. The one-loop model with scalar triplet as
the largest multiplet, in addition to good UV properties, provides the particle
set promising for gauge coupling unification. Therefore, it served us as a
starting point for a study of SU(5) embedding of additional particles leading
to viable unification scenarios. To distinguish among them begs for additional
principle which reigns over particle completion and eventual dark matter
considerations.

] | I present several scenarios developed in Zagreb, in which TeV-scale particles belonging to non-trivial weak-isospin multiplets give rise to neutrino-mass mechanisms different from conventional type I, II and III seesaw models. Two dim 9 tree-level mechanisms, presented first, provide an appealing testability of their exotic TeV-scale particles at the LHC. These models are not genuine, since their particles also provide competing dim 5 loop contributions. The loop-models presented next are genuine, without competing tree-level contributions. Among them, the three-loop model involves high-order weak multiplets leading to Landau poles. The one-loop model with scalar triplet as the largest multiplet, in addition to good UV properties, provides the particle set promising for gauge coupling unification. Therefore, it served us as a starting point for a study of SU(5) embedding of additional particles leading to viable unification scenarios. To distinguish among them begs for additional principle which reigns over particle completion and eventual dark matter considerations. |

2 X 10^{13} GeV and M_{nuLV2} ~ 10^6 GeV at the 95% confidence level, up to two
orders of magnitude beyond estimates made using previous one-dimensional

is further broken to SU(2)_{c+L+R} x U(1)_{c+L+R} at the vortex cores.
Microscopic structure of vortices at scales shorter than the coherence length
can be analyzed by the Bogoliubov-de Gennes (B-dG) equation (rather than the
Ginzburg-Landau equation). We obtain quark spectra from the B-dG equation by
treating the diquark gap having the vortex configuration as a background field.
We find that there are massless modes (zero modes) well-localized around a
vortex, in the triplet and singlet states of the unbroken symmetry
SU(2)_{c+L+R} x U(1)_{c+L+R}. The velocities v_i of the massless modes (i=t,s
for triplet and singlet) change at finite chemical potential \mu, and decrease
as \mu becomes large. Therefore, low energy excitations in the vicinity of the
vortices are effectively described by 1+1 dimensional massless fermions whose
velocities are reduced v_i<1.

factor data, with the virtual photon momentum squared $Q^2$ from $0.0002$ to
nearly 10 GeV$^2$ for electric form factor and from $0.015$ to 31 GeV$^2$ for
magnetic one. Special attention was given to the small structure shown by the
form factor data near $Q^2 = 0.2$ GeV$^2$. It was found that different models
yield different structures with different numbers of minimum at this

influenced by this structure, the extracted proton radii are consequently
different for different models. Our finding recommends that future experiments
should focus on this kinematics instead of low $Q^2$. Experimental data with
accuracies comparable to those of the latest data at low $Q^2$ would clearly
help to clarify the effect of this structure on the proton charge radius.

defined by the boundary conditions which are assigned to the free fermions is

Generalised GSO (GGSO) projection coefficients entering the one-loop partition

physical states appearing in the sectors generated by the set of basis vectors.
This enables the analysis of the entire string spectrum to be programmed in to
a computer code therefore, we performed a statistical sampling in the space of
2^{44} (approximately 10^{13}) flipped $SU(5)$ vacua and scanned up to 10^{12}
GGSO configurations. For that purpose, two independent codes were developed
based on JAVA and FORTRAN95. All the results presented here are confirmed by
the two independent routines. Contrary to the corresponding Pati-Salam
classification, we do not find exophobic flipped SU(5) vacua with an odd number
of generations. We study the structure of exotic states appearing in the three
generation models that additionally contain a viable Higgs spectrum. Moreover,
we demonstrate the existence of models in which all the exotic states are
confined by a hidden sector non-Abelian gauge symmetry as well as models that

theory in four space-time dimensions, coupled to a specific scalar sector. The
compactification geometry gives rise to masses for the zero-modes, proportional
to the twist parameter of the nilmanifold. We study the simple example of an SU
(3) model broken by a non-trivial vacuum of the scalar potential which
generates three mass scales, two being at tree level, and the third one at loop
level. We point out the relevance of general twisted geometries for model
building and in particular for gauge-Higgs type models, as the twist generates
tree-level mass hierarchies useful for grand unification and for the Higgs

] | We consider the compactification of a Yang-Mills theory on a three-dimensional nilmanifold. The compactification generates a Yang-Mills theory in four space-time dimensions, coupled to a specific scalar sector. The compactification geometry gives rise to masses for the zero-modes, proportional to the twist parameter of the nilmanifold. We study the simple example of an SU (3) model broken by a non-trivial vacuum of the scalar potential which generates three mass scales, two being at tree level, and the third one at loop level. We point out the relevance of general twisted geometries for model building and in particular for gauge-Higgs type models, as the twist generates tree-level mass hierarchies useful for grand unification and for the Higgs sector in electroweak symmetry breaking. |

liquid. Generically, two superconducting phases compete, a "ferromagnetic" and
a "nematic" one. We provide a power counting argument suggesting that the
dominant interactions in the deuteron liquid are perturbative (but screened)
Coulomb interactions. At very high densities the ground state is determined by
very small nuclear interaction effects that probably favor the ferromagnetic
phase. At lower densities the symmetry of the theory is effectively enhanced to
SU(3), and the quantum liquid enters a novel phase, neither ferromagnetic nor
nematic. Our results can serve as a starting point for investigations of the
phase dynamics of deuteron liquids, as well as exploration of the stability and
dynamics of the rich variety of topological objects that may occur in phases of
the deuteron quantum liquid, which range from Alice strings to spin skyrmions
to Z_2 vortices.

constructed in a two step process: first, a Monte Carlo sample of replicas of
the experimental data is generated, and then an ensemble of neural network is
trained over them. This parametrization does not introduce any bias due to the
choice of a fixed functional form. Two applications of this technique are
presented. First a probability measure in the space of the spectral function
$\rho_{V-A}(s)$ is generated, which incorporates theoretical constraints as
chiral sum rules, and is used to evaluate the vacuum condensates. Then we
construct a probability measure in the space of the proton structure function
$F_2^p(x,Q^2)$, which updates previous work, incorporating HERA data.

that a combination of current oscillation, cosmological and $0\nu2\beta$ data

interpretation of $0\nu2\beta$ data, like nuclear modeling, or the exact
particle physics mechanism underlying the process. We then perform forecasts
for forthcoming and next-generation experiments, and find that in the case of
normal hierarchy, given a total mass of $0.1\,$ eV, and assuming a
factor-of-two uncertainty in the modeling of the relevant nuclear matrix
elements, it will be possible to measure the total mass itself, the effective
Majorana mass and the effective electron mass with an accuracy (at 95\% C.L.)
of $0.05$, $0.015$, $0.02\,\mathrm{eV}$ respectively, as well as to be
sensitive to one of the Majorana phases. This assumes that neutrinos are
Majorana particles and that the mass mechanism gives the dominant contribution
to $0\nu2\beta$ decay. We argue that more precise nuclear modeling will be
crucial to improve these sensitivities.

contributions to any observable but contains four CKM parameters which are not
predicted by this model. We point out that if these four parameters are
determined in a global fit that includes processes which are infected by NP,
the resulting SM contributions to rare decay branching ratios cannot be
considered as true SM contributions to the latter. On the other hand true SM
predictions, that are free from the CKM dependence, can be obtained for
suitable ratios of the $K$ and $B$ rare decay branching ratios to $\Delta M_s$,
$\Delta M_d$ and $|\varepsilon_K|$, all calculated within the SM. These three
observables contain by now only small hadronic uncertainties and are already
well measured so that rather precise true SM predictions for the ratios in
question can be obtained. In this context the rapid test of NP infection in the
$\Delta F=2$ sector is provided by a $|V_{cb}|-\gamma$ plot that involves
$\Delta M_s$, $\Delta M_d$, $|\varepsilon_K|$, and the mixing induced
CP-asymmetry $S_{\psi K_S}$. As with the present hadronic matrix elements this
test turns out to be negative, assuming negligible NP infection in the $\Delta
F=2$ sector and setting the values of these four observables to the
experimental ones, allows to obtain SM predictions for all $K$ and $B$ rare
decay branching ratios that are most accurate to date and as a byproduct to
obtain the full CKM matrix on the basis of $\Delta F=2$ transitions alone.
Using this strategy we obtain SM predictions for 26 branching ratios for rare
semileptonic and leptonic $K$ and $B$ decays with the $\mu^+\mu^-$ pair or the
$\nu\bar\nu$ pair in the final state. Most interesting turn out to be the

] | The Standard Model (SM) does not contain by definition any new physics (NP) contributions to any observable but contains four CKM parameters which are not predicted by this model. We point out that if these four parameters are determined in a global fit that includes processes which are infected by NP, the resulting SM contributions to rare decay branching ratios cannot be considered as true SM contributions to the latter. On the other hand true SM predictions, that are free from the CKM dependence, can be obtained for suitable ratios of the $K$ and $B$ rare decay branching ratios to $\Delta M_s$, $\Delta M_d$ and $|\varepsilon_K|$, all calculated within the SM. These three observables contain by now only small hadronic uncertainties and are already well measured so that rather precise true SM predictions for the ratios in question can be obtained. In this context the rapid test of NP infection in the $\Delta F=2$ sector is provided by a $|V_{cb}|-\gamma$ plot that involves $\Delta M_s$, $\Delta M_d$, $|\varepsilon_K|$, and the mixing induced CP-asymmetry $S_{\psi K_S}$. As with the present hadronic matrix elements this test turns out to be negative, assuming negligible NP infection in the $\Delta F=2$ sector and setting the values of these four observables to the experimental ones, allows to obtain SM predictions for all $K$ and $B$ rare decay branching ratios that are most accurate to date and as a byproduct to obtain the full CKM matrix on the basis of $\Delta F=2$ transitions alone. Using this strategy we obtain SM predictions for 26 branching ratios for rare semileptonic and leptonic $K$ and $B$ decays with the $\mu^+\mu^-$ pair or the $\nu\bar\nu$ pair in the final state. Most interesting turn out to be the anomalies in the low $q^2$ bin in $B^+\to K^+\mu^+\mu^-$ ($4.4\sigma$) and $B_s\to \phi\mu^+\mu^-$ ($4.8\sigma$). |

resonant production of a singlet of spin 0 or 2 linearly coupled to the

the effective couplings, and provide the matching to various well-motivated New
Physics scenarios. We then investigate the possibility that one of these
neutral resonances be at the origin of the excess in diboson production
recently reported by the ATLAS collaboration. We perform a shape analysis of
the excess under full consideration of the systematic uncertainties to extract
the width $\Gamma_{\rm tot}$ of the hypothetical resonance, finding it to be in
the range 26 GeV $<\Gamma_{\rm tot}<$ 144 GeV at 95\% C.L. We then point out
that the three overlapping selections $WW$, $WZ$, $ZZ$ reported by ATLAS follow
a joint trivariate Poisson distribution, which opens the possibility of a
thorough likelihood analysis of the event rates. The background systematic
uncertainties are also included in our analysis. We show that the data do not
require $W\!Z$ production and could thus in principle be explained by neutral
resonances. We then use both the information on the width and the cross
section, which prove to be highly complementary, to test the effective
Lagrangians of singlet resonances. Regarding specific models, we find that
neither scalars coupled via the Higgs-portal nor the Randall-Sundrum (RS)
radion can explain the ATLAS anomaly. The RS graviton with all matter on the
infrared (IR) brane can in principle fit the observed excess, while the RS
model with matter propagating in the bulk requires the presence of IR brane
kinetic terms for the gauge fields.

splitting function $P_{\,\rm ps}$ at the fourth order of perturbative QCD via
the anomalous dimensions of off-shell flavour-singlet operator matrix elements.
Our results, derived analytically for a general gauge group, agree with all
results obtained for this function so far, in particular with the lowest six
even moments obtained via physical cross sections. Using these results and all
available endpoint constraints, we construct approximations for $P_{\rm ps}$ at
four loops that should be sufficient for most collider-physics applications.
Together with the known results for the non-singlet splitting function $P_{\rm
ns}^{\,+}$ at this order, this effectively completes the quark-quark
contribution for the evolution of parton distribution at N$^{\:\!3}$LO
accuracy. Our new results thus provide a major step towards fully consistent
N$^{\:\!3}$LO calculations at the LHC and the reduction of the residual
uncertainty in the parton evolution to the percent level.

Our results, derived analytically for a general gauge group, agree with all results obtained for this function so far, in particular with the lowest six even moments obtained via physical cross sections. Using these results and all available endpoint constraints, we construct approximations for $P_{\rm ps}$ at four loops that should be sufficient for most collider-physics applications. Together with the known results for the non-singlet splitting function $P_{\rm ns}^{\,+}$ at this order, this effectively completes the quark-quark contribution for the evolution of parton distribution at N$^{\:\!3}$LO accuracy. Our new results thus provide a major step towards fully consistent N$^{\:\!3}$LO calculations at the LHC and the reduction of the residual uncertainty in the parton evolution to the percent level. |

strongly interacting many-body systems with an extended hadronic degree of
freedom, strangeness, to new forms of hadrons and hadronic matters. These
studies lead not only to create innovative fields of hadron physics but also,
possibly, to understand fundamental interactions because of recent progress on
AdS/CFT correspondence. At the first stage of the J-PARC operation, hadron
topics are mainly on strangeness nuclear physics such as hypernuclei, kaonic
nuclei, and possible pentaquark hadrons. Then, the studies could be extended to
exotic hadron searches, chiral dynamics in nuclear medium, structure functions,
hard exclusive processes, hadron physics in neutrino scattering, and spin
structure of the nucleon. With major upgrades of the facility, extensive
studies could be done for the nucleon spin, heavy-ion physics, and hadron
physics at a high-energy neutrino factory.

signals in Higgs physics, while maintaining the good agreement of the Standard

viable setups on their own, the models we study can particularly be motivated
as the low energy effective theories of the composite Higgs models MCHM_5 and

identified with the light custodians present in these theories. These have the
potential to describe the relevant physics in their fermion sectors in a
simplified and transparent way. In contrast to previous studies of composite
models, we consider the impact of a realistic lepton sector on the Higgs
decays. We find significant modifications in the decays to \tau leptons and
photons due to the new leptonic resonances. While from a pure low energy
perspective an enhancement of the channel pp->h->\gamma\gamma turns out to be
possible, if one considers constraints on the parameters from the full
structure of the composite models, the decay mode into photons is always
reduced. We also demonstrate that taking into account the non-linearity of the
Higgs sector does not change the qualitative picture for the decays into
\tau-leptons or photons in the case of the dominant Higgs production mechanism.

bottom-quark forward-backward asymmetry and the related coupling parameter A_b.
After a decade during which the particle-physics community was frequently
misled by a particularly obscurantist interpretation of the L.E.P./S.L.C.
precision data, this approach emerges as a strong candidate for new physics
beyond the standard model of elementary particles to be thoroughly tested in
the forthcoming high-energy experiments.

] | We give a pedagogical and concise presentation of dynamical mass generation involving strongly-interacting mirror fermions. As a paradigm which has been explicitly shown to predict correctly the weak scale and the weak angle and thus addressing successfully the essence of the hierarchy problem of energy scales (contrary to "supersymmetric" or "extra-dimension" models) and the unification of fundamental forces, it might have already manifested indirectly its validity experimentally, as first noted by the author in 1998, via the bottom-quark forward-backward asymmetry and the related coupling parameter A_b. After a decade during which the particle-physics community was frequently misled by a particularly obscurantist interpretation of the L.E.P./S.L.C. precision data, this approach emerges as a strong candidate for new physics beyond the standard model of elementary particles to be thoroughly tested in the forthcoming high-energy experiments. |
2207.14809 | Sven Heinemeyer | S. Heinemeyer | CDF Measurement of $M_W$: Theory implications | 8 pages, 5 figures. Invited plenary talk at the 20th FPCP conference,
Oxford, MS, 2022. Partially based on arXiv:2203.15710 and arXiv:2204.05975 | null | null | null | hep-ph | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0/ | The CDF collaboration recently reported a measurement of the $W$-bosos mass,
$M_W$, showing a large positive deviation from the Standard Model (SM)
prediction. The question arises whether extensions of the SM exist that can
accommodate such large values, and what further phenomenological consequences
arise from this. We give a brief review of the implications of the new CDF
measurement on the SM, as well as on Higgs-sector extensions. In particular, we
review the compatibility of the $M_W$ measurement of CDF with excesses observed
in the light Higgs-boson searches at $\sim 95$ GeV, as well as with the Minimal
Supersymmetric Standard Model in conjunction with the anomalous magnetic moment
of the muon, $(g-2)_\mu$.

subsequently we discuss both current and future sensitivity to models in which
axions play the role as cold dark matter, but where the Peccei-Quinn symmetry
is not restored during reheating.
