gap survival in central exclusive diffraction, pp -> p + H + p (H = high-mass

probability. The main suppression of diffractive scattering is due to inelastic
soft spectator interactions at small pp impact parameters and can be described
in a mean-field approximation (independent hard and soft interactions).
Moderate extra suppression results from fluctuations of the partonic
configurations of the colliding protons. At LHC energies absorptive
interactions of hard spectator partons associated with the gg -> H process
reach the black-disk regime and cause substantial additional suppression,
pushing the survival probability below 0.01.

Historically, a number of flawed attempts have been made at explaining this

Being located at the Antarctica, this detector makes use of the naturally
occuring ice as a medium to generate Cherenkov radiation. However, due to the
high pressure at the depth of the detector site, large volumes of hexagonal ice
crystals are formed. We calculate how this affects the Cherenkov radiation
yield and angular dependence. We conclude that the effect is small, at most
about a percent, and would only be relevant in future high precision
instruments like e.g. Precision IceCube Next Generation Upgrade (PINGU). For
radio-Cherenkov experiments which use the presence of a clear Cherenkov cone to
determine the arrival direction, any variation in emission angle will directly
and linearly translate into a change in apparent neutrino direction. In
closing, we also describe a simple experiment to test this formalism, and
calculate the impact of anisotropy on light-yields from lead tungstate crystals

where the first error is caused by varying $M_H=126\pm4$ GeV and the second
error for $H\to b\bar{b}$ is caused by varying the $\overline{\rm MS}$-running

present a comparison of three BLM-based scale setting approaches, e.g. the
PMC-I approach based on the PMC-BLM correspondence, the $R_\delta$-scheme and
the seBLM approach, all of which are designed to provide effective ways to
identify non-conformal $\{\beta_i\}$-series at each perturbative order. At
four-loop level, all those approaches lead to good pQCD convergence, they have
almost the same pQCD series, and their predictions are almost independent on
the initial renormalization scale. In this sense, those approaches are

charmful one such as $\bar B^0\to\Lambda_c\bar p$ since no hard gluon is needed
to produce the energetic $\Xi_c\bar\Lambda_c$ pair in the former decay, while

spin-half fermions interacting with a massive, charged finite-sized source
using a first-quantized effective field theory for the heavy compact object and
a second-quantized language for the lighter fermion with which it interacts.
This description shows how to determine the near-source boundary condition for
the Dirac field in terms of the relevant physical properties of the source, and
reduces to the standard choices in the limit of a point source. Using a
first-quantized effective description is appropriate when the compact object is
sufficiently heavy, and is simpler than (though equivalent to) the effective
theory that treats the compact source in a second-quantized way. As an
application we use the PPEFT to parameterize the leading energy shift for the
bound energy levels due to finite-sized source effects in a model-independent
way, allowing these effects to be fit in precision measurements. Besides
capturing finite-source-size effects, the PPEFT treatment also efficiently
captures how other short-distance source interactions can shift bound-state
energy levels, such as due to vacuum polarization (through the Uehling
potential) or strong interactions for Coulomb bound states of hadrons, or any
hypothetical new short-range forces sourced by nuclei.

As an application we use the PPEFT to parameterize the leading energy shift for the bound energy levels due to finite-sized source effects in a model-independent way, allowing these effects to be fit in precision measurements. Besides capturing finite-source-size effects, the PPEFT treatment also efficiently captures how other short-distance source interactions can shift bound-state energy levels, such as due to vacuum polarization (through the Uehling potential) or strong interactions for Coulomb bound states of hadrons, or any hypothetical new short-range forces sourced by nuclei. |

factorization formula for exclusive $B$-meson decays. When the corresponding
bilocal HQET operator has a light-like distance $t$ between the quark and
antiquark fields, the scale $\sim 1/t$ separates the UV and IR regions, which
induce the cusp singularity in radiative corrections and the mixing of
multiparticle states in nonperturbative corrections, respectively. We treat the
bilocal HQET operator based on the operator product expansion (OPE),
disentangling the singularities from the IR and UV regions systematically. The
matching at the next-to-leading order $\alpha_s$ is performed in the
$\overline{\rm MS}$ scheme with a complete set of local operators of dimension
$d \le 5$, through a manifestly gauge-invariant calculation organizing all
contributions in the coordinate space. The result exhibits the Wilson
coefficients with Sudakov-type double logarithms and the higher-dimensional

Multibaryons (hypernuclei) with strangeness are described and some states of interest are predicted within CSA as well. |

the Pythia generated kinematic distributions of first-hadron emissions, when
the Lund string model of hadronization implemented in Pythia is restricted to

of four-quark states with functional methods. Model approaches to those exotic
mesons almost inevitably have to assume certain internal structures, e.g. by
grouping quarks and antiquarks into (anti-)diquark clusters or heavy-light
$q\bar{q}$ pairs. Functional methods using Dyson-Schwinger and Bethe-Salpeter
equations can be formulated without such prejudice and therefore have the
potential to put these assumptions to test and discriminate between such
models. So far, functional methods have been used to study the light
scalar-meson sector and the heavy-light sector with a pair of charmed and a
pair of light quarks in different quantum number channels. For all these
states, the dominant components in terms of internal two-body clustering have
been identified. It turns out that chiral symmetry breaking plays an important
role for the dominant clusters in the light meson sector (in particular for the
scalar mesons) and that this property is carried over to the heavy-light
sector. Diquark-antidiquark components, on the other hand, turn out to be
almost negligible for most states with the exception of open-charm heavy-light
exotics.

framework of grand unification when the loop particles comprise scalar
leptoquarks (LQs) and quarks of the matching electric charge. This mechanism
can be implemented in both supersymmetric and non-supersymmetric models and
requires the presence of at least one LQ pair. The appropriate pairs for the
neutrino mass generation via the up-type and down-type quark loops are
$S_3$-$R_2$ and $S_{1,\,3}$-$\tilde{R}_2$, respectively. We consider two
phenomenologically distinct regimes for the LQ masses in our analysis. First
regime calls for very heavy LQs in the loop. It can be naturally realised with
the $S_{1,\,3}$-$\tilde{R}_2$ scenarios when the LQ masses are roughly between
$10^{12}$ GeV and $5 \times 10^{13}$ GeV. These lower and upper bounds
originate from experimental limits on partial proton decay lifetimes and
perturbativity constraints, respectively. Second regime corresponds to the
collider accessible LQs in the neutrino mass loop. That option is viable for
the $S_3$-$\tilde{R}_2$ scenario in the models of unification that we discuss.
If one furthermore assumes the presence of the type II see-saw mechanism there
is an additional contribution from the $S_3$-$R_2$ scenario that needs to be
taken into account beside the type II see-saw contribution itself. We provide a
complete list of renormalizable operators that yield necessary mixing of all
aforementioned LQ pairs using the language of $SU(5)$. We furthermore discuss
several possible embeddings of this mechanism in $SU(5)$ and $SO(10)$ gauge

several quantities has been investigated to estimate the order of magnitude of
the difference between their predictions. We have also studied in detail the
theoretical uncertainties in the results due to various sources. We found that
there is a remarkable difference between the predictions from the nCTEQ15 and
other groups in all ranges of photon transverse momentum $ p_\textrm{T}^\gamma

decreasing the uncertainty of the gluon nuclear modification, but also to
accurately determine its central values, especially in the shadowing region.

fundamental particles. However, in recent years, certain phenomena have arisen
that cannot be explained by this theory. One particular challenge is the
anomalous magnetic moment of the muon. Various theories have been proposed in
the Beyond Standard Model, with the aim of addressing these anomalies. One such
theory is the Noncommutative Space-Time, which places importance on the
noncommutative parameter ($\theta ^{\mu \nu}$). Different values for this
parameter have been explored in various articles. However, in this particular
article, we utilize the most precise values of $ (240 \, TeV)^{-2}$ for muons
and $(3000 \, TeV)^{-2}$ for electrons, in order to align our findings more
closely with reality. The tree level diagram for the muon in the Seiberg-Witten
map has not yet been calculated. However, we have performed this calculation
and predict the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon to be approximately
$10^{-10}$. The Noncommutative Space-Time theory yields accurate results in
both high energy and low energy physics. Furthermore, the predicted electric
dipole moment for the muon and electron, using the parameters outlined in this
study are about $10^{-24}$ e.cm for the muon and $10^{-34}$ e.cm for the
electron.

$J^{PC}=1^{++}$ ($J,\,P,\,C$ represent the spin, parity and charge conjugation,

$\psi'\gamma$ ($\psi'$ denotes $\psi(2S)$ throughout the paper) are calculated
in the framework of the covariant light-front quark model. The phenomenological
wave function of a meson depends on the parameter $\beta$, whose inverse
essentially describes the confinement scale. In the present work, the
parameters $\beta$ for the vector $J/\psi$ and $\psi'$ mesons will be
determined through their decay constants, which are obtained from the
experimental values of their partial decay widths to the electron-positron
pair. For $X(3872)$, we determined the value of $\beta$ by the decay width of
$X(3872)\rightarrow \psi'\gamma$. Then, we examined the width of $X(3872)\to
J/\psi\gamma$ in a manner of parameter-free prediction and compared it with the
experimental value. As a result, an inconsistency or contradiction occurs

that other components are necessary in its wave function.

beyond its gravitational effects, DM remains undetected by present experiments.
In this situation, it is reasonable to wonder if other alternatives can
effectively explain the observations usually associated with the existence of
DM. The modification of the gravitational interaction has been studied in this

astrophysical evidences makes difficult to think that modified gravity can
account for all these observations. On the other hand, if such a modification

] | The fundamental nature of Dark Matter (DM) has not been established. Indeed, beyond its gravitational effects, DM remains undetected by present experiments. In this situation, it is reasonable to wonder if other alternatives can effectively explain the observations usually associated with the existence of DM. The modification of the gravitational interaction has been studied in this context from many different approaches. However, the large amount of different astrophysical evidences makes difficult to think that modified gravity can account for all these observations. On the other hand, if such a modification introduces new degrees of freedom, they may work as DM candidates. We will summarize the phenomenology of these gravitational dark matter candidates by analyzing minimal models. |

two-flavor ($N_f=2$) soft-wall AdS/QCD model. To understand the dynamics of
thermalization, we quench the system from initial states deviating from the
equilibrium states. Then, we solve the nonequilibrium evolution of the order
parameter (chiral condensate $\langle \sigma\equiv\bar{q}q\rangle$). It is
shown that the system undergoes an exponential relaxation at temperatures away
from the critical temperature $T_c$. The relaxation time diverges at $T_c$,
presenting a typical behavior of critical slowing down. Numerically, we extract
the dynamic critical exponent $z$, and get $z\approx 2$ by fitting the scaling
behavior $\sigma\propto t^{-\beta/(\nu z)}$, where the mean-field static
critical exponents (order parameter critical exponent $\beta=1/2$, correlation
length critical exponent $\nu=1/2$ ) have been applied. More interestingly, it
is remarked that, for a large class of initial states, the system would linger
over a quasi-steady state for a certain period of time before the
thermalization. It is suggested that the interesting phenomenon, known as
prethermalization, has been observed in the framework of holographic models. In
such prethermal stage, we verify that the system is characterized by a
universal dynamical scaling law and described by the initial-slip exponent
$\theta=0$.

and investigate methods for sharpening the boundaries by reducing the
statistical noise. The outcome from traditional wombling algorithms is a set of
boundary cell candidates with relatively large gradients, whose spatial
properties must then be scrutinized in order to construct the boundary and
evaluate its significance. Here we propose an alternative approach where we
simultaneously form and evaluate the significance of all possible boundaries in

neutrinos are assumed to be sourced at CERN with an upgraded SPS and are
directed towards a 440 kton Water Cerenkov detector located at the Canfranc
laboratory. Two large `CP-coverage' choices for the boost pairings are found; a

this method, a boundary between non-radiative and radiative processes
necessarily appears at the factorization scale (mu_F). The radiation effects
are simulated using a parton shower (PS) in non-radiative processes. It is
therefore crucial in our method to apply a PS which well reproduces the

In this paper we introduce two models for our simple initial-state leading-log
PS: a model similar to the "old" PYTHIA-PS and a p_T-prefixed model motivated
by ME calculations. PS simulations employing these models are tested using
W-boson production at LHC as an example. Both simulations show a smooth
matching to the LLL-subtracted W + 1 jet simulation in the p_T distribution of
W bosons, and the summed p_T spectra are stable against a variation of mu_F,
despite that the p_T-prefixed PS results in an apparently harder p_T spectrum.
