Assuming three flavour neutrino mixing takes place in vacuum, we investigate the possibility that the solar $\nu_e$ take part in MSW transitions in the Sun due to $\Delta m^2_{31} \sim (10^{-7} - 10^{-4})~eV^2$, followed by long wave length vacuum oscillations on the way to the Earth, triggered by $\Delta m^2_{21}$ (or $\Delta m^2_{32}$) $\sim (10^{-12} - 10^{-10})~eV^2$. The solar $\nu_e$ survival probability is shown to be described in this case by a simple analytic expression. New ranges of neutrino parameters which allow to fit the solar neutrino data have been found. The best fit characterized by the minimum $\chi^2$ is extremely good. This hybrid (MSW+vacuum oscillations) solution of the solar neutrino problem leads to peculiar distortions of energy spectrum of the boron neutrinos which can be observed by the SuperKamiokande and SNO experiments. Other flavour scheme (e.g. 2 active $\nu$s + 1 sterile $\nu$) can provide MSW+vacuum solution also.

In a recent letter we proposed a new non-thermal mechanism of Dark Matter production based on vacuum misalignment, where both the Higgs boson and a very light pseudo-scalar $\eta$ emerge from the Dark sector. In this letter, we identify the parameter space in a composite scenario where the light pseudo-scalar can be produced in the sun and explain the XENON1T excess in electron recoil data. The model's Dark Matter candidate has a mass around $50$ TeV and out of range for Direct Detection. Testable predictions include Gravitational waves at frequencies in the Hz range from a cosmological phase transition, an exotic decay $Z \to \gamma + \mbox{inv.}$ with rates $4 \div 16 \cdot 10^{-12}$ testable at a future Tera-Z collider, and an enhancement by $17\div 40$ % of the branching ratio $K_L \to \pi^0 + \mbox{inv.}$, not enough to explain the KOTO anomaly. All these predictions may be confirmed by future experiments.

The pattern of a large approximate degeneracy of the excited hadron spectra (larger than the chiral restoration degeneracy) is present in the recent experimental report of Bugg. Here we try to model this degeneracy with state of the art quark models. We review how the Coulomb Gauge chiral invariant and confining Bethe-Salpeter equation simplifies in the case of very excited quark-antiquark mesons, including angular or radial excitations, to a Salpeter equation with an ultrarelativistic kinetic energy with the spin-independent part of the potential. The resulting meson spectrum is solved, and the excited chiral restoration is recovered, for all mesons with J > 0. Applying the ultrarelativistic simplification to a linear equal-time potential, linear Regge trajectories are obtained, for both angular and radial xcitations. The spectrum is also compared with the semi-classical Bohr-Sommerfeld quantization relation. However the excited angular and radial spectra do not coincide exactly. We then search, with the classical Bertrand theorem, for central potentials producing always classical closed orbits with the ultrarelativistic kinetic energy. We find that no such potential exists, and this implies that no exact larger degeneracy can be obtained in our equal-time framework, with a single principal quantum number comparable to the non-relativistic Coulomb or harmonic oscillator potentials. Nevertheless we find plausible that the large experimental approximate degeneracy will be modelled in the future by quark models beyond the present state of the art.

We use the dipole model to analyze the inclusive DIS cross section data, obtained from the HERA I+II measurements \cite{Abramowicz:2015mha}. We show that these combined data are very well described within the dipole model framework, which is complemented with a valence quark structure functions. Our motivation is to investigate the gluon density with the BGK dipole model \cite{BGK} as an alternative to the PDF approach. BGK dipole model uses for evolution the DGLAP mechanism in the $kt$ factorization scheme (in contrast to the collinear factorization for PDFs). We confirm our results from the previous paper \cite{Luszczak:2013rxa} with old HERA data \cite{HERA2010}. In addition we also performed a first, preliminary investigation of saturation. The analysis was done in the xFitter framework \cite{xFitter,xFitter2,xFitter3,xFitter4,xFitter5}.}

It is investigated whether canonical suppression associated with the exact conservation of an U(1)-charge can be reproduced correctly by current transport models. Therefore a pion-gas having a volume-limited cross section for kaon production and annihilation is simulated within two different transport prescriptions for realizing the inelastic collisions. It is found that both models can indeed dynamically account for the canonical suppression in the yields of rare strange particles.

In the context of Left-Right symmetry, we revisit the Keung-Senjanovi\'{c} production of right-handed $W_R$ bosons and heavy neutrinos $N$ at high energy colliders. We develop a multi-binned sensitivity measure and use it to estimate the sensitivity for the entire range of $N$ masses, spanning the standard and merged prompt signals, displaced vertices and the invisible $N$ region. The estimated sensitivity of the LHC with 300/fb integrated luminosity ranges from 5 to beyond 7 TeV, while the future 33(100) TeV collider's reach with 3/ab extends to 12(26) TeV.

We study the theory and phenomenology of massive spin-2 fields during the inflation with nonzero background chemical potential, and extend the cosmological collider physics to tensor modes. We identify a unique dimension-5 and parity-violating chemical potential operator for massive spin-2 fields, which leads to a ghost-free linear theory propagating one scalar mode and two tensor modes. The chemical potential greatly boosts the production of one tensor mode even for very heavy spin-2 particles, and thereby leads to large and distinct cosmological collider signals for massive spin-2 particles. The large signals show up at the tree-level in both the curvature trispectrum and the tensor-curvature mixed bispectrum.

We show that the application of the pinch technique to the conventional Schwinger-Dyson equations for the gluon propagator, gluon-quark vertex, and three-gluon vertex, gives rise to new equations endowed with special properties. The new series coincides with the one obtained in the Feynman gauge of the background field method, thus capturing the extensive gauge cancellations implemented by the pinch technique at the level of individual Green's functions. Its building blocks are the fully dressed pinch technique Green's functions obeying Abelian all-order Ward identities instead of the Slavnov-Taylor identites satisfied by their conventional counterparts. As a result, and contrary to the standard case, the new series can be truncated gauge invariantly at any order in the dressed loop expansion. The construction is streamlined by resorting to the Batalin-Vilkovisky formalism which allows for a concise treatment of all the quantities appearing in the intermediate steps. The theoretical and phenomenological implications of this novel non-perturbative framework are discussed in detail.

The hierarchy in the Yukawa couplings may be the result of a gauged horizontal $U(1)_H$ symmetry. If the mixed anomalies of the Standard Model gauge group with $U(1)_H$ are cancelled by a Green-Schwarz mechanism, a relation between the gauge couplings, the Yukawa couplings and the $\mu$-term arises. Assuming that at a high energy scale $g_3^2=g_2^2={5\over3}g_1^2$ and $(m_e m_\mu m_\tau)/(m_d m_s m_b)\sim \lambda$ (where $\lambda$ is of the order of the Cabibbo angle), the $U(1)_H$ symmetry solves the $\mu$-problem with $\mu\sim\lambda m_{3/2}$.

We consider variations of the standard leptogenesis picture arising from the presence of an additional scale related to the breaking of a $U(1)_X$ abelian flavor symmetry. We show that quite generically the presence of an additional energy scale might introduce new qualitative and quantitative changes on leptogenesis. Especially interesting is the possibility of having succesful TeV leptogenesis with a vanishing total CP violating asymmetry. By solving the corresponding Boltzmann equations it is shown that these kind of scenarios encounters no difficulties in generating the Cosmic baryon asymmetry.

Bimaximal (BM) and tri-bimaximal (TB) mixings of neutrinos are two special cases of lepton mixing matrix, which predict the reactor angle $\theta_{13}=0$ and the atmospheric angle $\tan^2\theta_{23}=1$. Recent precision measurements and global analysis of oscillation parameters, have confirmed a non-vanishing value of $\theta_{13}$ as well as deviations of $\theta_{12}$ and $\theta_{23}$ from their maximal values predicted by BM or TB mixing. In this work we mainly concentrate on $\theta_{13}$ and $\theta_{23}$ to assign $\sin\theta_{13}\neq 0$ and $\tan^2\theta_{23}<1$ with the help of charged lepton corrections defined by $U_{PMNS}=U^{\dagger}_lU_{\nu}$. We first consider $U_{\nu}$ to be given separately by BM and TB mixing matrices and then find the possible forms of $U_l}$ such that the elements of PMNS matrix, finally yield $\sin\theta_{13}\neq 0$ and $\tan^2\theta_{23}<1$. To compute the values of mixing angles we assume the charged lepton correction to be of CKM-like. All the mixing matrices considered here satisfy the unitarity condition to leading order of expansion parameters. We also analyze both the mixing schemes in presence of Dirac CP phase and find expressions for the rephasing invariant quantity $J_{CP}$ which have been discussed in recent literature.

The near-threshold expansion of the $\pi \pi$ amplitude is developed using the crossing-covariant independent variables. The independent threshold parameters entering the real part of the amplitude in an explicitly Lorentz-invariant way are free from restrictions of isotopic and crossing symmetries. Parameters of the expansion of the imaginary part are recovered by the perturbative unitarity relations.

To understand the possibility for precision Higgs boson coupling measurements to access effects of very heavy new particles, I present five scenarios in which significant deviations in Higgs boson couplings are produced by new particles with multi-TeV masses. These scenarios indicate that such precision measurements provide opportunities to reach well beyond the capabilities of direct particle searches at the HL-LHC.

The search for the weakly-coupled Higgs sector at future colliders consists of three phases: discovery of a Higgs candidate, verification of the Higgs interpretation of the signal, and precision measurements of Higgs sector properties. The discovery of one Higgs boson with Standard Model properties is not sufficient to expose the underlying structure of the electroweak symmetry breaking dynamics. It is critical to search for evidence for a non-minimal Higgs sector and/or new physics associated with electroweak symmetry breaking dynamics.

We study resummation of transverse-momentum-related large logarithms generated from soft-gluon radiations in soft-collinear effective field theory. The anomalous dimensions of the effective quark and gluon currents, an important ingredient for the resummation, are calculated to two-loop order. the result at next-to-leading-log reproduces that obtained using the standard method for deep-inelastic scattering, Drell-Yan process, and Higgs production through gluon-gluon fusion. We comment on the extension of the calculation to next-to-next-to-leading logarithms.

We present a detailed phenomenological study of the multiple soft gluon radiation for the $t$-channel single top and anti-top quark production at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). By applying the transverse momentum dependent factorization formalism, large logarithms introduced by small total transverse momentum $q_\perp$ of the single-top (anti-top) plus one-jet final state system are resummed to all orders in the expansion of the strong interaction coupling at the accuracy of Next-to-Leading Logarithm. We discuss various kinematical distributions which are sensitive to this effect and find that soft gluon radiation become more important when the final state jet is required to be in the forward region. We show that the main difference from PYTHIA prediction lies on the inclusion of the exact color coherence effect between the initial and final states in our resummation calculation. We further propose to apply the experimental observable $\phi^*$ to test the effect of multiple gluon radiation in the single-top and anti-top events. The bottom quark mass effect and jet rapidity distribution are also discussed.

We suggest a simple composite model that induces the large flavor mixing of neutrino in the supersymmetric theory. This model has only one hyper-color in addition to the standard gauge group, which makes composite states of preons. In this model, {\bf 10} and {\bf 1} representations in SU(5) grand unified theory are composite states and produce the mass hierarchy. This explains why the large mixing is realized in the lepton sector, while the small mixing is realized in the quark sector. This model can naturally solve the atmospheric neutrino problem. We can also solve the solar neutrino problem by improving the model.

We address the problem of string arbitrariness in the quantum field theory of Dirac magnetic monopoles. Different prescriptions are shown to yield different physical results. The constraints due to the discrete symmetries (C and P) are derived for the process of electron- positron annihilation into the monopole-antimonopole pair. In the case of the annihilation through the one-photon channel, the production of spin 0 monopoles is absolutely forbidden; spin 1/2 monopole and antimonopole should have the same helicities (or, equivalently, the monopole-antimonopole state should be p-wave $^1P_1$).

The Georgi-Machacek model is used to motivate and interpret LHC searches for doubly- and singly-charged Higgs bosons decaying into vector boson pairs. In this paper we study the constraints on and phenomenology of the "H5plane" benchmark scenario in the Georgi-Machacek model, which has been proposed for use in these searches. We show that the entire H5plane benchmark is compatible with the LHC measurements of the 125 GeV Higgs boson couplings. We also point out that, over much of the H5plane benchmark, the lineshapes of the two CP-even neutral heavy Higgs bosons $H$ and $H_5^0$ will overlap and interfere when produced in vector boson fusion with decays to $W^+W^-$ or $ZZ$. Finally we compute the decay branching ratios of the additional heavy Higgs bosons within the H5plane benchmark to facilitate the development of search strategies for these additional particles.

We predict heavy quark production cross sections in Deep Inelastic Scattering at high energy by applying the Color Glass Condensate effective theory. We demonstrate that when the calculation is performed consistently at next-to-leading order accuracy with massive quarks it becomes possible, for the first time in the dipole picture with perturbatively calculated center-of-mass energy evolution, to simultaneously describe both light and heavy quark production data at small $x_\mathrm{Bj}$. We furthermore show how the heavy quark cross section data provides additional strong constraints on the extracted non-perturbative initial condition for the small-$x_\mathrm{Bj}$ evolution equations.

We study the gauged $U(1)_{L_\mu-L_\tau}$ scotogenic model with emphasis on latest measurement of LHCb $R_{K^{(*)}}$ anomaly and AMS-02 positron excess. In this model, neutrino masses are induced at one-loop level with $Z_2$-odd particles, i.e., right-handed neutrinos $N_\ell(\ell=e,\mu,\tau)$ and inert scalar doublet $\eta$ inside the loop. Meanwhile, the gauged $U(1)_{L_\mu-L_\tau}$ symmetry is broken spontaneously by the scalar singlet $S$, resulting to the massive gauge boson $Z'$. Provided certain couplings to quarks induced by heavy vector-like quarks, the gauge boson $Z'$ would contribute to the transition $b\to s \mu^+\mu^-$, hence explain the $R_{K^{(*)}}$ anomaly. As for the Majorana fermion DM $N$, the gauge boson $Z'$ and the singlet Higgs $H_0$ will generate various annihilation channels, among which the $NN\to Z'Z'$ and $NN\to Z'H_0(\to Z'Z')$ channel could be used to interpret the AMS-02 positron excess. We give a comprehensive analysis on model parameter space with consider various current constraints. The combined analysis shows that the $R_{K^{(*)}}$ anomaly and AMS-02 positron excess can be explained simultaneously.

The work presents the studies of the polarization observables in the single pion production (SPP) induced by the interaction of the muon neutrino (antineutrino) with nucleons. The SPP cross-sections and spin asymmetries are computed within two phenomenological models. One is basing on the nonlinear sigma model \cite{Hernandez:2007qq}; the other has origin in linear sigma model~\cite{Fogli:1979cz}. Firstly, we show that the final nucleon polarization and target spin asymmetries are good observables to obtain information about the $C_5^A$ axial form factor. Secondly, we demonstrate that the nucleon polarization and the target spin asymmetries are sensitive to the relative phase between resonance and nonresonance amplitudes. We conclude that the polarization of the final nucleon and the target spin asymmetry are promising observables for testing SPP models, including studies of the axial content of $\Delta(1232)$ resonance and unitarization procedures.

We explore the cosmic birefringence signal produced by an ultralight axion field with a small CP-violating coupling to bulk SM matter in addition to the usual CP-preserving photon coupling. The change in the vacuum expectation value of the field between recombination and today results in a frequency-independent rotation of the plane of CMB linear polarization across the entire sky. While many previous approaches rely on the axion rolling from a large initial expectation value, the couplings considered in this work robustly generate the birefringence signal regardless of initial conditions, by sourcing the field from the cosmological nucleon density. We place bounds on such monopole-dipole interactions using measurements of the birefringence angle from Planck and WMAP data, which improve upon existing constraints by up to three orders of magnitude. We also discuss UV completions of this model, and possible strategies to avoid fine-tuning the axion mass.

We discuss the discovery potential for New Physics of various measurements of CP violation. If nature is supersymmetric, then the flavor problem is even more mysterious than in the standard model. We show how we can learn about the mechanism that solves the supersymmetric flavor problem from measurements of mixing and CP violation in $K$, $D$ and $B$ decays.

There is a puzzle in the $\Lambda_c^+$ family, i.e., one member with $J^P=3/2^+$ is missing in a $L=2$ multiplet which the heavy quark effective theory predicts, and $J^P$'s of $\Lambda_c(2765)^+$ and $\Lambda_c(2940)^+$ are unknown. Using a light diquark picture to calculate baryon masses, we study possible assignments of two $\Lambda_c$'s with unknown $J^P$ and the missing $\Lambda_c^+$ with $3/2^+$ for $L=2$, and we find the most probable possibility that the peak corresponding to $\Lambda_c(2880)^+$ actually includes a missing member with spin $3/2^+$ for $L=2$ and that quantum numbers of $\Lambda_c(2765)^+$ and $\Lambda_c(2940)^+$ are $2S(1/2^+)$ and $2P(1/2^-)$, respectively.

The proposed electron-proton collider experiments LHeC and FCC-eh at CERN are the highest resolution microscopes that can be realised in the present century and they would represent a really unique research facility. We exploit simulated neutral-current and charged-current deep-inelastic scattering data of the LHeC and the FCC-eh and examine their sensitivity for precision physics in the Electroweak sector of the Standard Model (SM), like the effective weak mixing angle $\sin^2\theta_{\textrm{W},\ell}^\textrm{eff}$, or the light-quark weak-neutral-current couplings. Unique measurements are further feasible at high precision for the running of the weak mixing angle, as well as for electroweak effects in charged current interactions. The sensitivity to beyond SM effects is studied using the generic $S$, $T$ and $U$ parameterization. The report summarizes previous studies about the LHeC and presents new prospects for the FCC-eh.

The calculation of the two-loop corrections to the partial width of an intermediate-mass Higgs boson decaying into a pair of photons is reviewed. The main focus lies on the electroweak (EW) contributions. The sum of the EW corrections ranges from -4% to 0% for a Higgs mass between 100 GeV and 150 GeV, while the complete correction at two-loop order amounts to less than +-1.5% in this regime.

The possible dependence of fundamental couplings and mass ratios on the gravitational potential has been bounded by comparing atomic clock frequencies over Earth's elliptical orbit. Here we evaluate bounds on such dependence from E"otv"os-type experiments that test the Weak Equivalence Principle, including previously neglected contributions from nuclear binding energy. We find that variations of fundamental parameters correlated with the gravitational potential are bounded at 10^-8--10^-9, an improvement of 2--3 orders of magnitude over atomic clock bounds.

We consider the (process-independent) Green function for the BFKL equation in the next-to-leading order approximation, with running coupling, and explain how, within the semi-classical approximation, it is related to Green function of the Airy equation. The unique Green function is obtained from a combination of its required ultraviolet behaviour compatible with asymptotic freedom and an infrared limit phase imposed by the non-perturbative sector of QCD. We show that at sufficiently large gluon transverse momenta the corresponding gluon density matches that of the DGLAP analysis, whereas for relatively small values of the gluon transverse momentum the gluon distribution is sensitive to the Regge poles, whose positions are determined both by the non-pertubative QCD dynamics and physics at large transverse momenta.

We discuss spectral distortions, time delays and refraction of light in an axion or axion-plasma background. This involves solving the full set of geodesic equations associated to the system of Hamiltonian optics, allowing us to self-consistently take into account the evolution of the momentum, frequency and position of photons. We support our arguments with analytic approximations and full numerical solutions. Remarkably, the introduction of a plasma enhances the sensitivity to axion-induced birefringence, allowing these effects to occur at linear order in the axion-photon coupling even when the axion background is not present at either the emission or detection points. This suggests a general enhancement of axion-induced birefringence when the background refractive index is different from one.

It has been found very recently on the lattice that at high temperature at vanishing chemical potential QCD is increasingly SU(2)_CS and SU(2N_F) symmetric. We demonstrate that the chemical potential term in the QCD Lagrangian has precisely the same symmetry. Consequently the QCD matter beyond the chiral restoration line on the T - \mu plane is at least approximately SU(2)_CS and SU(2N_F) symmetric.

Precision data from cosmology (probing the CMB decoupling epoch) and light-element abundances (probing the BBN epoch) have hinted at the presence of extra relativistic degrees of freedom, the so-called "dark radiation." We present a model independent study to account for the dark radiation by means of the right-handed partners of the three, left-handed, standard model neutrinos. We show that milli-weak interactions of these Dirac states (through their coupling to a TeV-scale Z' gauge boson) may allow the \nu_R's to decouple much earlier, at a higher temperature, than their left-handed counterparts. If the \nu_R's decouple during the quark-hadron crossover transition, they are considerably cooler than the \nu_L's and contribute less than 3 extra "equivalent neutrinos" to the early Universe energy density. For decoupling in this transition region, the 3 \nu_R generate \Delta N_\nu = 3(T_{\nu_R}/T_{\nu_ L})^4 < 3, extra relativistic degrees of freedom at BBN and at the CMB epochs. Consistency with present constraints on dark radiation permits us to identify the allowed region in the parameter space of Z' masses and couplings. Remarkably, the allowed region is within the range of discovery of LHC14.

A new approach to nonperturbative calculations in quantum electrodynamics is proposed. The approach is based on a regular iteration scheme for solution of Schwinger-Dyson equations for generating functional of Green functions. The approach allows one to take into account the gauge invariance conditions (Ward identities) and to perform the renormalization program. The iteration scheme can be realized in two versions. The first one ("perturbative vacuum") corresponds to chain summation in the diagram language. In this version in four-dimensional theory the non-physical singularity (Landau pole) arises which leads to the triviality of the renormalized theory. The second version ("nonperturbative vacuum") corresponds to ladder summation and permits one to make non-perturbative calculations of physical quantities in spite of the triviality problem. For chiral-symmetrical leading approximation two terms of the expansion of the first-step vertex function over photon momentum are calculated. A formula for anomalous magnetic moment is obtained. A problem of dynamical chiral symmetry breaking (DCSB) is considered, the calculations are performed for renormalized theory in Minkowsky space. In the strong coupling region DCSB-solutions arise. For the renormalized theory a DCSB-solution is also possible in the weak coupling region but with a subsidiary condition on the value of $\alpha$.

We examine the predictions for both the spin dependent and spin independent direct detection rates in a variety of new particle physics models with dark matter candidates. We show that a determination of both spin independent and spin dependent amplitudes on protons and neutrons can in principle discriminate different candidates of dark matter up to a few ambiguities. We emphasize the importance of making measurements with different spin dependent sensitive detector materials and the need for significant improvement of the detector sensitivities. Scenarii where exchange of new coloured particles contributes significantly to the elastic scattering cross sections are often the most difficult to identify, the LHC should give an indication whether such scenarii are relevant for direct detection.

Jets at high energy colliders are complicated objects to identify. Even if jets are widely separated, there is no reason for jets to have the same size. A single reconstruction, or interpretation, of each event can only extract a limited amount of information. Motivated by the recently proposed Qjet algorithms, which give multiple interpretations for each event using nondeterministic jet clustering, we propose a simple, fast and powerful method to give multiple event interpretations by varying the parameter R in the jet definition. With multiple interpretations we can redefine the weight of each event in a counting experiment to be the fraction of interpretations passing the experimental cuts, instead of 0 or 1 in a conventional analysis. We show that the statistical power of an analysis can be dramatically increased. In particular, we can have a 46% improvement in the statistical significance for the Higgs search with an associated Z boson (ZH\rightarrow \nu {\bar \nu}b {\bar b}) at the 8 TeV LHC.

Flavor physics experiments allow to probe the accuracy of the Standard Model (SM) description at low energies, and are sensitive to new heavy gauge bosons that couple to quarks and leptons in a relevant way. The apparent anomaly in the ratios of the decay of $B$-mesons into $D$-mesons and different lepton flavors, $R_{D^{(\ast)}} = \mathcal B(B \to D^{(\ast)} \tau \nu)/ \mathcal B(B \to D^{(\ast)} \ell \nu )$ is particularly intriguing, since these decay processes occur at tree-level in the SM. Recently, it has been suggested that this anomaly may be explained by new gauge bosons coupled to right-handed currents of quarks and leptons, involving light right-handed neutrinos. In this work we present a well-motivated ultraviolet complete realization of this idea, embedding the SM in a warped space with an $SU(2)_L \otimes SU(2)_R \otimes U(1)_{B-L}$ bulk gauge symmetry. Besides providing a solution to the hierarchy problem, we show that this model, which has an explicit custodial symmetry, can explain the $R_{D^{(\ast)}}$ anomaly and at the same time allow for a solution to the $R_{K^{(\ast)}}$ anomalies, related to the decay of $B$-mesons into $K$-mesons and leptons, $R_{K^{(*)}} = \mathcal B(B\to K^{(*)} \mu \mu)/ \mathcal B(B \to K^{(*)} e e)$. In addition, a model prediction is an anomalous value of the forward-backward asymmetry $A^b_{FB}$, driven by the $Z\bar b_R b_R$ coupling, in agreement with LEP data.

We study the scalar bound states of $D^{\ast}\bar{D}^{\ast}$ and $B^{\ast}\bar{B}^{\ast}$ in the Bethe-Salpeter formalism, with the effective interaction kernel extracted from the chiral perturbative theory and the heavy quark effective theory in the ladder approximation and the covariant instantaneous approximation. The results show that, in the scalar case ($J=0$), there can only exist $I = 0$ bound states for parameters in proper range, while there cannot exist the $I = 1$ bound states in the whole reasonable parameter range, due to more constraints arising from our definition of the Bethe-Salpeter wavefunction.

We study the scalar bound states of $D^{\ast}\bar{D}^{\ast}$ and $B^{\ast}\bar{B}^{\ast}$ in the Bethe-Salpeter formalism, with the effective interaction kernel extracted from the chiral perturbative theory and the heavy quark effective theory in the ladder approximation and the covariant instantaneous approximation. The results show that, in the scalar case ($J=0$), there can only exist $I = 0$ bound states for parameters in proper range, while there cannot exist the $I = 1$ bound states in the whole reasonable parameter range, due to more constraints arising from our definition of the Bethe-Salpeter wavefunction.

Within the framework of theories where both scalars and fermions are present, we develop a systematic prescription for the construction of CP-violating quantities that are invariant under basis transformations of those matter fields. In theories with Spontaneous Symmetry Breaking, the analysis involves the vevs' transformation properties under a scalar basis change, with a considerable simplification of the study of CP violation in the scalar sector. These techniques are then applied in detail to the two Higgs-doublet model with quarks. It is shown that there are new invariants involving scalar-fermion interactions, besides those already derived in previous analyses for the fermion-gauge and scalar-gauge sectors.

We describe how the angular analysis of vector-vector final states in B decays provides theoretically clean techniques for determination of CP violating phases. The quantity $\sin^2 (2\beta + \gamma)$ can be cleanly obtained from the time dependent study of decays such as B_d(t)->D^{*\pm} \rho^\mp, D^{*\pm} a_1^{\mp} etc. Similarly, one can use B_s(t)-> D_s^{*\pm} K^{*\mp} to extract $\sin^2 \gamma$. A time independent study of the charged decay mode B^\pm-> D^{*0}(\bar D^{*0}) K^{*\pm} can also be used to extract gamma.

In a class of modular-invariant models with multiple moduli fields, the viable lepton flavour mixing pattern can be realised if the values of moduli are selected to be at the fixed points. In this paper, we investigate a modulus stabilisation mechanism in the multiple-modulus framework which is capable of providing de Sitter (dS) global minima precisely at the fixed points $\tau = {\rm i}$ and $\omega$, by taking into consideration non-perturbative effects on the superpotential and the dilaton K\"ahler potential. Due to the existence of additional K\"ahler moduli, more possible vacua can occur, and the dS vacua could be in general the deepest. We classify different choices of vacua, and discuss their phenomenological implications for lepton masses and flavour mixing.

Recently, scientists have made great progresses in experiments in searching for the excited states of $\Xi_{b}$ and $\Lambda_{b}$ baryons such as the $\Lambda_{b}(6072)$, $\Lambda_{b}(6146)$, $\Lambda_{b}(6152)$, $\Xi_{b}(6227)$, $\Xi_{b}(6100)$, $\Xi_{b}(6327)$ and $\Xi_{b}(6333)$. Stimulated by these progresses, we give a systematical analysis about the $1D$ and $2D$ states of $\Xi_{b}$ and $\Lambda_{b}$ baryons with the method of QCD sum rules. By constructing three types of interpolating currents, we calculate the masses and pole residues of these heavy baryons with different excitation modes $(L_{\rho},L_{\lambda})=(0,2)$, $(2,0)$ and $(1,1)$. As a result, we decode the inner structures of $\Lambda_{b}(6146)$, $\Lambda_{b}(6152)$, $\Xi_{b}(6327)$ and $\Xi_{b}(6333)$, and favor assigning these states as the $1D$ baryons with the quantum numbers $(L_{\rho},L_{\lambda})=(0,2)$ and $\frac{3}{2}^{+}$, $\frac{5}{2}^{+}$, $\frac{3}{2}^{+}$ and $\frac{5}{2}^{+}$, respectively. In addition, the predictions about the masses and pole residues of the other $1D$ and $2D$ states of $\Xi_{b}$ and $\Lambda_{b}$ baryons in this paper are helpful in studying the D-wave bottom baryons in experiments in the future.

We study the geometric phase (GP) in neutrino oscillation for both Dirac and Majorana neutrinos. We apply the kinematic generalization of the GP to quantum open systems that take into account the coupling to a dissipative environment. In the dissipationless case, the GP does not depend on the Majorana angle. It is not the case in the presence of dissipation and hence the GP can serve as a tool determining the type of the Dirac vs the Majorana neutrino.

We study constraints on the CP violating phase $\gamma$ in the Kobayashi-Maskawa model using available experimental data. We first follow the conventional method to up date the constraint on $\gamma$ by performing a $\chi^2$ analysis using data from $|\epsilon_K|$, $\Delta m_{B_{d,s}}$ and $|V_{ub}/V_{cb}|$. We also include the recent information on $\sin2\beta$ in the analysis. We obtain the best fit for $\gamma$ to be $66^\circ$ and the 95% C.L. allowed range to be $42^\circ \sim 87^\circ$. We then develop a method to carry out a $\chi^2$ analysis based on SU(3) symmetry using data from $B\to \pi \pi$ and $B\to K \pi$. We also discuss SU(3) breaking effects from model estimate. We find that present data on $B\to \pi\pi, K \pi$ can also give some constraint on $\gamma$ although weaker than the earlier method limited by the present experimental errors. Future improved data will provide more stringent constraint. Finally we perform a combined fit using data from $|\epsilon_K|$, $\Delta m_{B_{d,s}}$, $|V_{ub}/V_{cb}|$, $\sin2\beta$ and rare charmless hadronic B decays. The combined analysis gives $\gamma=67^\circ$ for the best fit value and $43^\circ \sim 87^\circ$ as the 95% C.L. allowed range. Several comments on other methods to determine $\gamma$ based on SU(3) symmetry are also provided.

Two particle vacuum transitions (oscillations) are studied in the general case. We found that: 1) a nondiagonal mass term characterising oscillations is the width of two particle transitions into each other (this width can be computed by the standard method); 2) two types of oscillations take place: real and virtual. Solution of the problem of origin of mixing angle in the theory of vacuum oscillations is given. It is shown that neutral K meson and neutrino oscillations must proceed via two stages. First, neutral K^{o}, antineutral K-eigenstates of strong interaction (or nu(e), nu(mu), nu(tau) eigenstates of weak interactions) are created. Then, owing to the presence of the strangeness violating weak interaction (or the lepton number violating interactions), these meson states (or neutrino states) are converted into superpositions of neutral K(1) and neutral K(2)-eigenstates of the weak interaction violating strangeness (or nu(1), nu(2), nu(3)-eigenstates of the interaction-violating lepton numbers). Further, neutral K-meson or neutrino oscillations will occur in accordance with the standard scheme.

Several atomic properties relevant to optical clock development are calculated using relativistic many-body methods. This includes energy levels, transition amplitudes, lifetimes, scalar polarizabilities, black body radiation shift, and the sensitivity to the fine structure constant variation. We found that the clock transitions are not sensitive to perturbation, e.g., relative black body radiation shifts are $\sim 10^{-19}$. The enhancement factor for the $\alpha$ variation is $\sim$ 0.8 for one clock transition and $\sim$ 16 for another.

A particular emphasis is given to the case of the plane-wave electromagnetic field for which the charged particles' wave functions and propagators are presented. Some general features of quantum processes proceeding in the intense electromagnetic background are argued. We also discuss the possibilities of searching new physics through the investigations of quantum phenomena induced by the strong electromagnetic environment.

Baryon inhomogeneities can be generated very early in the universe. These inhomogeneities then decay by particle diffusion in an expanding universe. We study the decay of these baryon inhomogeneities in the early universe using the diffusion equation in the Friedmann-Lemaitre-Robertson-Walker (FLRW) metric. We have studied the decay starting from the electroweak phase transition. We calculate the interaction cross section of the quarks with the neutrinos, the electrons and the muons and obtain the diffusion coefficients. The diffusion coefficients are temperature dependent. We find that the expansion of the universe causes the inhomogeneities to decay at a faster rate. We find that the baryon inhomogeneities generated at the electroweak epoch have very low amplitudes at the time of the quark hadron phase transition. So unless inhomogeneities are generated with a very high amplitude (greater than $10^5$ times the background density), they will have no effect on the quark hadron phase transition. After the quark hadron phase transition, we include the interaction of the muons with the neutrons and the protons till 100 MeV. We also find that large density inhomogeneities generated during the quark hadron transition with sizes of the order of 1 km must have amplitudes greater than $10^5 $ times the background density to survive upto the nucleosynthesis epoch in an expanding universe.

Arkani-Hamed, Dimopoulos and Dvali have recently proposed that gravity may become strong at energies near 1 TeV due to the existence of large extra dimensions thus `removing' the hierarchy problem. In this talk we examine the exchange of towers of Kaluza-Klein gravitons and their influence on Moller scattering as well as the production of pairs of massive gauge bosons in $\gamma \gamma$ collisions. These tower exchanges lead to a set of new dimension-8 operators that can significant alter the Standard Model expectations for these processes. In the case of $\gamma \gamma$ collisions, the role of polarization for both the initial state photons and the final state gauge bosons in improving sensitivity to graviton exchange is emphasized.

If a sterile neutrino nu_s with an eV-scale mass and a sizeable mixing to the electron neutrino exists, as indicated by the reactor and gallium neutrino anomalies, a strong resonance enhancement of nu_e-nu_s oscillations of atmospheric neutrinos should occur in the TeV energy range. At these energies neutrino flavour transitions in the 3+1 scheme depend on just one neutrino mass squared difference and are fully described within a 3-flavour oscillation framework. We demonstrate that the flavour transitions of atmospheric nu_e can actually be very accurately described in a 2-flavour framework, with neutrino flavour evolution governed by an inhomogeneous Schroedinger-like equation. Evolution equations of this type have not been previously considered in the theory of neutrino oscillations.

Hard, or high transverse momentum, pion photoproduction can be a tool for probing the parton structure of the beam and target. We discuss the perturbative and soft processes that contribute, and show how regions where perturbative processes dominate can give us the parton structure information. Polarized initial states are needed to get information on polarization distributions. Current polarization asymmetry data is mostly in the soft region. However, with the proposed EPIC machine parameters, determining the polarized gluon distribution using hard pion photoproduction appears quite feasible.

In the quantum chromodynamics, the mass source of the proton is decomposed into four parts by the energy momentum tensor : quark energy term, gluon energy term, quark mass term and trace anomaly term. And the trace anomaly term is the most crucial contribution for studying the internal structure of the proton. In this work, under the definition of the vector meson dominant model, the trace anomaly contribution of the proton is extracted from the experimental datas of light vector mesons $\rho$, $\omega$ and $\phi$ photoproduction at the near-threshold, which are ($1.15\pm0.08$)$\%$, ($2.70\pm0.04$)$\%$ and ($5.58\pm0.25$)$\%$, respectively. Eventually, the average trace anomaly contribution of the proton is ($4.36\pm0.40$) $\%$, which only account for a small fraction of the total proton mass. The result of this work will provide theoretical information support for further study of proton internal structure.

We point out that the kinematical twist-3 contributions to the DVCS amplitude, required to restore electromagnetic gauge invariance of the twist-2 amplitude up to O(t/q^2), can be understood as a spin rotation applied to the twist-2 quark density matrix in the target. This allows for a compact representation of the twist-3 effects, as well as for a simple physical interpretation.

From several points of view it is strongly suggested that the current universe is unstable and will ultimately decay to one that is exactly supersymmetric (susy). The possibility that atoms and molecules form in this future universe requires that the degenerate electron/selectron mass is non-zero and hence that electroweak symmetry breaking (EWSB) survives the phase transition to exact susy. However, the minimal supersymmetric standard model (MSSM) and several of its extensions have no EWSB in the susy limit. Among the extended higgs models that have been discussed one stands out in this regard. The higgs sector that is revealed at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) will therefore have implications for the future universe. We also address the question as to whether the transition to the exact susy phase with EWSB is exothermic.

We explore the parameter regions in the complex Two Higgs Doublet Model (c2HDM) with explicit CP violation that can describe current LHC hints for one or more Higgs boson signals at 125 GeV. Such a simple extension of the Standard model has three neutral Higgs bosons and a pair charged Higgs and leads to rich CP-violating sources including the CP-even CP-odd mixing of the neutral Higgs bosons. Within this model we present the production of light Higgs boson at the LHC followed by its decay into two photons. Our numerical study takes into account theoretical and experimental constraints on the Higgs potential like positivity, unitarity and perturbativity as well as $\rho$-parameter, $b\to s\gamma$ and $R_b$. These requirement together with the minimum conditions could explain the di-photon excess observed at the LHC. We also discuss the effects of the CP violating phases on the CP violation observable which is the difference between left-circular and right-circular polarization.

We study the non-equilibrium condensation process in a holographic superconductor with nonlinear corrections to the U(1) gauge field. We start with an asymptotic Anti-de-Sitter(AdS) black hole against a complex scalar perturbation at the initial time, and solve the dynamics of the gravitational systems in the bulk. When the black hole temperature T is smaller than a critical value Tc, the scalar perturbation grows exponentially till saturation, the final state of spacetime approaches to a hairy black hole. In the bulk theory, we find the clue of the influence of nonlinear corrections in the gauge field on the process of the scalar field condensation. We show that the bulk dynamics in the non-equilibrium process is completely consistent with the observations on the boundary order parameter. Furthermore we examine the time evolution of horizons in the bulk non-equilibrium transformation process from the bald AdS black hole to the AdS hairy hole. Both the evolution of apparent and event horizons show that the original AdS black hole configuration requires more time to finish the transformation to become a hairy black hole if there is nonlinear correction to the electromagnetic field. We generalize our non-equilibrium discussions to the holographic entanglement entropy and find that the holographic entanglement entropy can give us further understanding of the influence of the nonlinearity in the gauge field on the scalar condensation. In our analysis, we also compare the effect of different models on the corrections to the gauge field on the formation of holographic superconductor.

The probabilities of the quark-antiquark components in the ground-state baryon octet wave functions are calculated by taking the baryons to be admixtures of three- and five-quark components, with the relevant transitions handled {\it via} the $^{3}$P$_{0}$ mechanism. Predictions for $\sigma_{\pi B}$ and $\sigma_{s B}$ obtained by using input parameters taken from the literature are reported. Our results turn out to be, in general, consistent with the findings via lattice QCD and chiral perturbation theory.

We show how the $\nu_e \to \nu_\mu$ (``golden'') and $\nu_e \to \nu_\tau$ (``silver'') transitions observed at an OPERA-like 2 Kton lead-emulsion detector at L = 732 Km, in combination with the $\nu_e \to \nu_\mu$ transitions observed at a 40 Kton magnetized iron detector with a baseline of L = 3000 Km, strongly reduce the so-called $(\theta_{13}, \delta)$ ambiguity. We also show how a moderate increase in the OPERA-like detector mass (4 Kton instead of 2 Kton) completely eliminates the clone regions even for small values of $\theta_{13}$.

We apply the single quark transition model to resonance transition amplitudes extracted from photo-and electroproduction data. We use experimental data on the S11(1535) and D13(1520) nucleon resonances to extract the amplitudes for the electromagnetic transition from the nucleon ground state to the [70,1-] SU(6)xO(3) supermultiplet, and make predictions for the transition amplitudes of all other states associated with the [70,1-]. We find suprisingly good agreement with the data.

Recent work suggests the existence of a non-conventional lowest-lying scalar nonet containing the a0(980). Then the a0(1450) and also the K0*(1430) are likely candidates to belong to a conventional p-wave $q \bar q$ nonet. However a comparison of their properties with those expected on this basis reveals a number of puzzling features. It is pointed out that these puzzles can be resolved in a natural and robust way by assuming a ``bare'' conventional p-wave scalar $q \bar q$ nonet to mix with a lighter four quark $qq \bar q \bar q$ scalar nonet to form new ``physical'' states. The essential mechanism is driven by the fact that the isospinor is lighter than the isovector in the unmixed $qq \bar q \bar q$ multiplet.

After the discovery of a Higgs-like boson with a mass of m~125 GeV at the LHC, we can now attempt to draw conclusions about physics beyond the Standard Model. I argue that there are several hints towards new physics at intermediate scales > 10^8 GeV. I review a class of stringy models with intermediate scale SUSY which relate the observed Higgs mass to symmetries of the Higgs sector. I then discuss radiative corrections to m_h, unification, dark matter and the possibility of classically unstable UV completions in these models.

We quantitatively analyze the meson mass inequality relations of two dimensional gauged four fermi models in the large N limit. The class of models we study includes the 't Hooft model, the chiral and non-chiral Gross-Neveu models as special points in the space of field theories. Cases where the chiral symmetry is spontaneously or explicitly broken are both studied. We study the meson mass inequality quantitatively and define a susceptibility which allows us to systematically analyze the inequality. In the generalized Gross-Neveu model limit, we derive an analytic expression for this susceptibility. Even though no analytic proof of the validity of the classic mass inequality exists for the generic case, the mass inequality is found to be positive throughout most of the parameter space. We point out that the inequality might be negative in certain cases.

We recall the main properties of inclusive particle distributions expected for Pomeron-proton and Pomeron-Pomeron interactions. Due to the small size of the Pomeron we expect larger transverse momenta of secondaries and a smaller probability of Multiple Interactions, that is a narrower multiplicity distribution. We propose to compare the spectra of secondaries produced in the Pomeron and the proton interactions in terms of the Feynman $x_F$ variable. The main difference should be observed for a relatively large $x_F$, that is near the edge of rapidity gaps. Such data offer the opportunity to illuminate the properties of the `soft' or `Regge' Pomeron, which drives the minimum-bias type of events in high energy $pp$ interactions. Besides this, there should be a good opportunity to observe a glueball in the Pomeron fragmentation region.

The tau lepton plays important role in distinguishing neutrino mass patterns and determining the chirality nature in heavy scalar mediated neutrino mass models, in the light of the neutrino oscillation experiments and its polarization measurement. We investigate the lepton flavor signatures with tau lepton at LHC upgrades, i.e. HL-LHC, HE-LHC and FCC-hh, through leptonic processes from doubly charged Higgs in the Type II Seesaw. We find that for the channel with one tau lepton in final states, the accessible doubly charged Higgs mass at HL-LHC can reach 655 GeV and 695 GeV for the neutrino mass patterns of normal hierarchy (NH) and inverted hierarchy (IH) respectively, with the luminosity of 3000 fb$^{-1}$. Higher masses, 975-1930 GeV for NH and 1035-2070 GeV for IH, can be achieved at HE-LHC and FCC-hh.

The related CP violation asymmetry $A_{\rm CP} = (\Gamma_{-} - \Gamma_{+})/(\Gamma_{-} + \Gamma_{+})$ is studied in detail. We take into account the $N_1$-$N_2$ overlap and oscillation effects. We can see that for certain, presently acceptable, range of input parameters, such decays with open quark channels, and their asymmetries, could be detected in the International Linear Collider (ILC).

The recent measurement on the muon anomalous magnetic moment $a_\mu$ shows a $2.6\sigma$ deviation from the standard model value. We show that it puts an interesting bound on the mass of the second generation leptoquarks. To account for the data the leptoquark must have both the left- and right-handed couplings to the muon. Assuming that the couplings have electromagnetic strength, the mass is restricted in the range $0.7 {\rm TeV} < M_{\rm LQ} < 2.2$ TeV at 95% C.L. We also discuss constraints coming from other low energy and high energy experiments. If the first-second-generation universality is assumed, constraints come from the atomic parity violation and charged-current universality. We show that coexistence with other leptoquarks can satisfy these additional constraints and at the same time do not affect the $a_\mu$.

We provide predictions for the J/psi coherent production in the peripheral heavy ion collisions at LHC and at RHIC using the leading twist model of nuclear shadowing based on the QCD factorization theorem for diffraction and the HERA hard diffraction data. We demonstrate that for the LHC kinematics this model leads to a bump-shape distribution in rapidity which is suppressed overall as compared to the expectations of the color transparency regime by a factor 6. This is significantly larger suppression than that expected within the impact parameter eikonal model. Thus we show that the interaction of spatially small wave package for which the total cross section of interaction with nucleons is small is still strongly shadowed by nuclear medium in high energy processes.

Jets initiated by energetic quarks carry in an obvious way approximate information about the original quark energy and momentum. In a less obvious way, they also carry information about the quark polarization. Previous works have shown how the polarization information can be extracted by ATLAS and CMS using events in which the quark hadronizes to an energetic baryon - $\Lambda_b$ for $b$ quarks, $\Lambda_c$ for $c$ quarks and $\Lambda$ for $s$ quarks. In this paper we extend these proposals to $\Sigma^+$ baryons, which can provide sensitivity to polarizations of $s$ and $u$ quarks. We analyze the various aspects of how the kinked track signature of the $\Sigma^+ \to p \pi^0$ decay can be used for this purpose. We evaluate the feasibility of such measurements in $t\bar t$ samples.

This talk concerns some theoretical patterns of the helicity amplitudes for t --> W b decay. The patterns involve both the standard model's four decay helicity amplitudes, A_{SM}, and also the amplitudes A_{+} in the case of an additional t_R --> b_L tensorial coupling of relative strength \Lambda_{+} =E_W /2 = 53 GeV. Such an additional electroweak coupling would arise if the observed top-quark has a large chiral weak-transition-moment. The A_{+} amplitudes are interpreted as corresponding to the observed top-quark decays. Three tWb-transformations A_{+}=M A_{SM}, ..., are used in simple characterization of the values of \Lambda_{+}, and of the mass ratios m_W/m_t, and m_b/m_t. Measurement of the sign of the \eta_L = +/- 0.46 helicity parameter, respectively for SM/+, due to the large interference between the W-longitudinal and W-transverse amplitudes, could exclude such a chiral weak-transition-moment in favor of the SM prediction.

Heavy neutrinos with masses below the electroweak scale can simultaneously generate the light neutrino masses via the seesaw mechanism and the baryon asymmetry of the universe via leptogenesis. The requirement to explain these phenomena imposes constraints on the mass spectrum of the heavy neutrinos, their flavour mixing pattern and their $CP$ properties. We first combine bounds from different experiments in the past to map the viable parameter regions in which the minimal low scale seesaw model can explain the observed neutrino oscillations, while being consistent with the negative results of past searches for physics beyond the Standard Model. We then study which additional predictions for the properties of the heavy neutrinos can be made based on the requirement to explain the observed baryon asymmetry of the universe. Finally, we comment on the perspectives to find traces of heavy neutrinos in future experimental searches at the LHC, NA62, BELLE II, T2K, SHiP or a future high energy collider, such as ILC, CEPC or FCC-ee. If any heavy neutral leptons are discovered in the future, our results can be used to assess whether these particles are indeed the common origin of the light neutrino masses and the baryon asymmetry of the universe. If the magnitude of their couplings to all Standard Model flavours can be measured individually, and if the Dirac phase in the lepton mixing matrix is determined in neutrino oscillation experiments, then all model parameters can in principle be determined from this data. This makes the low scale seesaw a fully testable model of neutrino masses and baryogenesis.

A method of exact all-order summation of leading infrared logarithms in two dimensional massless $\Phi^4$-type non-renormalizable effective field theories (EFTs) is developed. The method is applied to the ${\rm O}(N)$-symmetric EFT, which is a two-dimensional sibling of the four dimensional ${\rm O}(N+1)/{\rm O}(N)$ sigma-model. For the first time the exact all-order summation of the $\left(E^{2} \ln(1/E)\right)^n$ contributions (chiral logarithms) for the $2 \to 2$ scattering amplitudes is performed in closed analytical form. The cases when the resulting amplitudes turn to be meromorphic functions with an infinite number of poles (Landau poles) are identified. This provides the first explicit example of quasi-renormalizable field theories.

We use the BNL E821 measurement of g - 2, the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon, to normalize, within a supersymmetric GUT framework, constrained MSSM (CMSSM) predictions for processes that violate charged-lepton flavour conservation, including mu to e gamma, mu to e conversion and K^0_L to mu e. We illustrate our analysis with two examples of lepton mass matrix textures motivated by data on neutrino oscillations. We find that mu to e gamma may well occur at a rate within one or two (two or three) orders of magnitude of the present experimental upper limit if g - 2 is within the one- (two-)standard deviation range indicated by E821. We also find that mu to e conversion is likely to occur at rate measurable by MECO, and there is a chance that K^0_L to mu e may be observable in an experiment using an intense proton source.

We analyze the weak decay of doubly-heavy baryon decays into anti-triplets $\Lambda_Q$ with light-cone sum rules. To calculate the decay form factors, both bottom and charmed anti-triplets $\Lambda_b$ and $\Lambda_c$ are described by the same set of leading twist light-cone distribution functions. With the obtained form factors, we perform a phenomenology study on the corresponding semi-leptonic decays. The decay widths are calculated and the branching ratios given in this work are expected to be tested by future experimental data, which will help us to understand the underlying dynamics in doubly-heavy baryon decays.

The cross-section for Drell-Yan production of a vector boson has been previously calculated at next-to-next-to-leading order, supplemented by enhanced logarithmic terms associated with the threshold region. In this paper, we calculate a large set of enhanced terms associated with the colour structure $C_F^3$ at N$^3$LO, for the double real emission contribution in the quark-antiquark channel, as an expansion around the threshold region up to and including the first subleading power. We perform our calculation using the method of regions, which systematically characterises all contributions according to whether the virtual gluon is (next-to) soft, collinear or hard in nature. Our results will prove useful for developing general formalisms for classifying next-to-leading power (NLP) threshold effects. They are also interesting in their own right, given that they constitute a previously unknown contribution to the Drell-Yan cross-section at ${\cal O}(\alpha_s^3)$.

Chiral electroweak anomalies predict fermion interactions that violate baryon ($B$) and lepton number ($L$), and can be dressed with large numbers of Higgs and gauge bosons. The estimation of the total $B+L$ violating rate from an initial two-particle state --potentially observable at colliders-- has been the subject of an intense discussion, mainly centered on the resummation of boson emission, which is believed to contribute to the cross-section with an exponential function of the energy, yet with an exponent (the "holy-grail" function) which is not fully known in the energy range of interest. In this article we focus instead on the effect of fermions beyond the Standard-Model (SM) in the polynomial contributions to the rate. It is shown that $B+L$ processes involving the new fermions have a polynomial contribution that can be several orders of magnitude greater than in the SM, for high centre-of-mass energies and light enough masses. We also present calculations that hint at a simple dependence of the holy grail function on the heavy fermion masses. Thus, if anomalous $B+L$ violating interactions are ever detected at high-energy colliders, they could be associated with new physics.

In the theoretical framework of Two Higgs Doublet Model (2HDM) plus three right-handed neutrinos we consider a universal treatment for the mass matrices, aside from that the active neutrinos acquire their small mass through the type-I seesaw mechanism. Then, as long as a matrix with four-zero texture is used to represent the right-handed neutrinos and Yukawa matrices, we obtain a unified treatment where all fermion mass matrices have four-zero texture. We obtain analytical and explicit expressions for the lepton flavour mixing matrix PMNS in terms of fermion masses and parameters associated with the 2HDM-III. Further, we compare these expressions of the PMNS matrix with the most up to date values of masses and mixing in the lepton sector, via a likelihood test $\chi^{2}$. We find that the analytical expressions that we derived reproduce remarkably well the most recent experimental data of neutrino oscillations.

Flux-integrated semiexclusive differential cross sections for charged-current quasielastic and neutral-current elastic neutrino scattering on argon are analyzed. The cross sections are calculated using the relativistic distorted-wave impulse approximation with values of the nucleon axial mass $M_A=1$ GeV and 1.2 GeV. The elastic scattering cross sections are also computed for different strange quark contributions to the neutral-current axial form factor. The flux-integrated differential cross sections as functions of reconstructed neutrino energy are evaluated for the far detector of the SBN experiment. The effects of the short base-line neutrino oscillations are taken into account in a 3+1 framework. We found that cross sections depend on oscillation parameters and the ratio of the measured and predicted cross sections can be used in a sterile neutrino oscillation study.

Specifically, we estimate the resulting improvement in the constraints on polarized parton densities for the different flavors, which is found to be significant for up and strange quarks, and the correlation between remaining uncertainty ranges for each of the parton species.

I summarize a recent study by the GAMBIT Collaboration in which we investigated the combined collider constraints on the chargino and neutralino sector of the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model. Through a large fit using GAMBIT we found that current ATLAS and CMS results with 36 fb$^{-1}$ of 13 TeV LHC collision data do not provide a general constraint on the lightest neutralino and chargino masses. Further, we found that a pattern of excesses in some of the LHC analyses can be fit in a subset of the model parameter space. The excess has an estimated local significance of 3.3$\sigma$ based on the 13 TeV results alone, and 2.9$\sigma$ when 13 TeV and 8 TeV results are combined.

The thermal multihadron production observed in different high energy collisions poses two basic problems: (1) why do even elementary collisions with comparatively few secondaries (e+e- annihilation) show thermal behaviour, and 2) why is there in such interactions a suppression of strange particle production? We show that the recently proposed mechanism of thermal hadron production through Hawking-Unruh radiation can naturally account for both. The event horizon of colour confinement leads to thermal behaviour, but the resulting temperature depends on the strange quark content of the produced hadrons, causing a deviation from full equilibrium and hence a suppression of strange particle production. We apply the resulting formalism to multihadron production in e+e- annihilation over a wide energy range and make a comprehensive analysis of the data in the conventional statistical hadronization model and the modified Hawking-Unruh formulation. We show that this formulation provides a very good description of the measured hadronic abundances, fully determined in terms of the string tension and the bare strange quark mass; it contains no adjustable parameters.

In the presence of neutrino Non-Standard Interactions (NSI) with matter, the derivation of neutrino parameters from oscillation data must be reconsidered. In particular, along with the standard solution to neutrino oscillation, another solution known as "LMA--Dark" is compatible with global oscillation data and requires both $\theta_{12}>\pi/4$ and a certain flavor pattern of NSI with an effective coupling comparable to $G_F$. Contrary to conventional expectations, there is a class of models based on a new $U(1)_X$ gauge symmetry with a gauge boson of mass of few MeV to few 10 MeV that can viably give rise to such large NSI. These models can in principle be tested by Coherent Elastic $\nu$-Nucleus Scattering (CE$\nu$NS) experiments such as COHERENT and the upcoming reactor neutrino experiment, CONUS. We analyze how the recent results from the COHERENT experiment constrain these models and forecast the discovery potential with future measurements from COHERENT and CONUS. We also derive the constraints from COHERENT on lepton flavor violating NSI.
