] | One of the salient features of high temperature gluodynamics is the Z(N) groundstate degeneracy, key to the understanding of the transition. On the other hand impressive progress has been obtained with effective theories, that seemingly lack Z(N) symmetry. We give a simple unified desciption of the two. As a very useful byproduct we get a natural infrared regulator and show its expediency by calculating the next to leading order in the Debye mass. Higher order corrections to bulk free energy and domainwall surface tension are discussed. |

Aiming at improving the study of the implications of those constraints, we inspect one-loop corrections to the annihilation cross section for scalar dark matter into observable fermions. We find that these loop contributions might be enough to drastically change those results by deforming in about 10% the allowed parameter space for dark matter particles with masses even below 1 TeV. These findings encourage further investigation. |

mechanism of single parton scattering and show that it gives much smaller
contribution to the $c \bar c c \bar c$ final state. Next we discuss a
perturbative parton-splitting mechanism which should be included in addition to
the conventional DPS mechanism. We show that the presence of this mechanism
unavoidably leads to collision energy and other kinematical variables

estimation of the contribution of DPS for jets remote in rapidity.

for BFKL effects known under the the name Mueller-Navelet jets. We discuss the
situation in a more general context. Finally we briefly mention about DPS

local supersymmetry and gauge invariance (the derivation of these terms is in
some cases related to anomalies in scale invariance or $R$ symmetries). We
explain why the gaugino bilinear is required in supersymmetric gauge theories
with varying number of colors and flavors. By working in the Higgs phase,
gauging a flavor group, or working below the scale of gaugino condensation,
each of these theories has a local effective description in which we can
identify the bilinear term, establishing its necessity in the microscopic
theory. For example, in theories that exhibit gaugino condensation, the
potential in the very low energy theory is supersymmetric precisely due to the
relation between the nonperturbative superpotential and the gaugino bilinear
terms. Similarly, the gravitino mass appears from its coupling to the gaugino
bilinear.

] | We reconsider the recent observation by the D0 experiment of a sizable like-sign dimuon charge asymmetry, highlighting that it could be affected by CP-violating New Physics contributions not only in Bd- and Bs-meson mixings, but also in semileptonic decays of b and c quarks producing muons. The D0, measurement could be reconciled with the Standard Model expectations for neutral-meson mixings, provided that the CP asymmetry in semileptonic b (c) decays reaches 0.3 % (1%). Such effects, which lie within the available (rather loose) experimental bounds, would be clear indications of New Physics and should be investigated experimentally. |

investigate the phase diagram of quantum chromodynamics at finite temperature

unified formalism for this analysis is provided by a symmetry-preserving
Schwinger-Dyson equations treatment of a vector$\times$vector contact
interaction model which encodes several well-established features of quantum
chromodynamics to mimic the latter as closely as possible. Deconfinement and
chiral symmetry restoration are triggered above a critical value of $N_f$ at
$T=0=eB$. On the other hand, increasing temperature itself screens strong
interactions, thus ensuring that a smaller value of $N_f$ is sufficient to
restore chiral symmetry at higher temperatures. We also observe the well-known
phenomenon of magnetic catalysis for a strong enough magnetic field. However,
we note that if the effective coupling strength of the model decreases as a
function of magnetic field, it can trigger inverse magnetic catalysis in a
certain window of this functional dependence. Our model allows for the
simultaneous onset of dynamical chiral symmetry breaking and confinement for
each case. Qualitative as well as quantitative predictions of our simple but
effective model are in reasonably satisfactory agreement with lattice results

board or general crystal-like phases. Such descriptions can be thought of as
the effective low energy description of QCD-like gauge theories near their
strong coupling scale where terms involving higher dimension operators are
generated. Our low energy theory consists of scalar fields describing operators
such as $\bar{q} q$ and $\bar{q} F^{(2n)} q$. Such scalars can have kinetic
mixing terms that generate effective momentum dependent contributions to the
mass matrix. We show that these can destabilize the translationally invariant
vacuum. It is possible that in some real gauge theory such operators could
become sufficiently dominant to realize such phases and it would be interesting
to look for them in lattice simulations. We present a holographic model of the
same phenomena which includes RG running. A key phenomenological motive to look
at such states is recent work that shows that the non-linear response in $R^2$
gravity to such short range fluctuations can mimic a cosmological constant.
Intriguingly in a cosmology with such a Starobinsky inflation term, to generate
the observed value of the present day acceleration would require stripes at the
electroweak scale. Unfortunately, low energy phenomenological constraints on
Lorentz violation in the electron-photon system appear to strongly rule out any
such possibility outside of a disconnected dark sector.

bremsstrahlung when colliding with Dark Matter (DM) particles within the solar

scalar neutral particle. We assume a speed of 600 km/sec for the solar wind and
assume that the speed of the dark matter halo is due to the motion of the sun
through the galaxy, which we take as 300 km/sec. We assume a DM density of 0.3
GeV/cm^3 and a solar wind composed primarily of protons with a total rate of
ejection mass set at 10^9kg/sec. We use a Monte Carlo technique to let this

observer would detect on Earth or at the edge of the solar system as a function
of photon energy. We find that the rates are in general very small but could be
observable in some scenarios at wavelengths in the mm or cm range.

We also study the positivity of the spectral functions, as well as the coupling of the graviton and the radion with SM matter fields. |

approximation. We find that with three parameters we can describe the final
state lepton energy for all of available electron QE data on Lithium,

parameter, the removal energy $\epsilon^{P,N}$ is extracted from exclusive

accounts for the interaction of final state leptons and protons with the
Coulomb potential of the nucleus, is available from published comparisons of
inclusive QE electron and positron cross section. We extract the third
parameter $U_{FSI}(\vec {q}_3^2)$, which accounts for the interaction of the
final state nucleon with the optical potential of the spectator nucleus (FSI),
by fitting all available inclusive QE cross sections on nuclear targets. Here
$q_3$ is the three momentum transfer. With these three parameters we can model
the energy of final state electrons and nucleons for all available electron QE
scattering data. At present the uncertainty in the value of the removal energy
parameters is a the largest source of systematic error in the extraction of the
neutrino oscillation parameter $\Delta{m}^2$. The use of the updated parameters

fiducial volume stemming from missing higher-order corrections, the different
parton shower matching schemes, and the modelling of decays. We find that the
subleading contribution at $\mathcal{O}(\alpha_s\alpha^3)$ is particularly
sensitive to differences in the matching scheme and higher-order parton shower

supersymmetry (SUSY) breaking terms in large volume scenario, where the MSSM
sector is localized on a small cycle whose volume is stabilized by the D-term
potential of the U(1)_A. Since it obtains SUSY breaking mass regardless of the
detailed form of K\"ahler potential, the U(1)_A vector superfield acts as a
messenger mediating the SUSY breaking in the moduli sector to the MSSM sector.
Then, through the loops of U(1)_A vector superfield, there arise soft masses of
the order of m_{3/2}^2/8\pi^2 for scalar mass squares, m_{3/2}/(8\pi^2)^2 for
gaugino masses, and m_{3/2}/8\pi^2 for A-paramteres. In addition, the massive
U(1)_A vector superfield can have non-zero F and D-components through the
moduli mixing in the K\"ahler potential, and this can result in larger soft
masses depending upon the details of the moduli mixing. For instance, in the
presence of one-loop induced moduli mixing between the visible sector modulus
and the large volume modulus, the U(1)_A D-term provides soft scalar mass
squares of the order of m_{3/2}^2. However, if the visible sector modulus is
mixed only with small cycle moduli, its effect on soft terms depends on how to
stabilize the small cycle moduli.

For instance, in the presence of one-loop induced moduli mixing between the visible sector modulus and the large volume modulus, the U(1)_A D-term provides soft scalar mass squares of the order of m_{3/2}^2. However, if the visible sector modulus is mixed only with small cycle moduli, its effect on soft terms depends on how to stabilize the small cycle moduli. |

However, they are not Yukawa suppressed at next-to-leading order opening a window for the correct definition of pseudo-observables, e.g. a definition of the Higgs decay width into Z + photon with universal inherent meaning, that are currently used in extracting information for the couplings of the newly discovered resonance at LHC. The impact of genuinely electroweak NLO corrections is discussed, as well as the comparison of the full-fledged cross-sections to their zero-width approximation. |
