We point out that an unorthodox way to describe the production of rapidity gaps in deep inelastic scattering, recently proposed by Buchm\"uller and Hebecker, suggests a description of the production of heavy quark bound states which is in agreement with data. The approach questions the conventional treatment of the color quantum number in perturbative QCD.

Recent results on the QCD phase diagram are reviewed. We begin with a detailed introduction of lattice techniques. Then results at vanishing chemical potential are presented. The order of the phase transition, the transition temperature and the equation of state are discussed. At non-vanishing chemical potential we study the mu-T phase line, the critical point as well as the equation of state.

The ratio $\Delta m_K/m_K$ within the standard model with 3 generations is calculated as a function of the CP nonconserving phase $\delta_{13}$ and the quark masses $m_c,m_t$ assuming the current values of the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa mixing angles. We have found that varying $\delta_{13}$ and $m_c$ within the allowed range, not all the values for the top quark mass fit the experimental value for that ratio.

The exclusive $\rho$, $\omega$ and $J/\Psi$ photoproduction in fixed - target collisions at the LHC is investigated. We estimate, for the first time, the rapidity and transverse momentum distributions of the vector meson photoproduction in $p He$, $p Ar$, $Pb He$ and $Pb Ar$ fixed - target collisions at the LHC using the STARlight Monte Carlo and present our results for the total cross sections. Predictions for the kinematical range probed by the LHCb detector are also presented. Our results indicate that the experimental analysis of this process in fixed - target collisions at the LHC is feasible. Such future analysis will probe the QCD dynamics in a kinematical range complementary to that studied in the collider mode.

In the LHCb detector at CERN, decays of $\chi_b(3P)$ meson to $\Upsilon(1S)\gamma$ and $\Upsilon(2S)\gamma$ are reported at centre-of-mass energy of $\sqrt s=7$ and 8 TeV. Following the success of the assignment of $\chi_b(1P)\to\Upsilon(1S)\gamma$ of the mass of $m(\chi_b(1P))=9.8923$ GeV and $\chi_b(2P)\to\Upsilon(1S)\gamma$ of the mass of $m(\chi_b(2P))=10.2547$ GeV, the new state $\chi_b(3P)$ of the mass of 10.5157 GeV was assigned, but its $J^{P}$ was not fixed. We study the possibility that this boson is the light Higgs boson $h^0(0^+)$, and study its decay modes to a $b\bar b$ which reduces to an $\Upsilon(mS)$ ($m=1,2$ or 3) and $\bar q q$ which reduces to a $\gamma$, using the Cartan's supersymmetry. Recent non observation of polarizations of $\Upsilon(nS)$ by the CMS collaboration is consistent with the theory.

In this work it is shown, that for short 3ns neutrino pulses reported by OPERA, a relativistic shape deforming effect of the neutrino distribution function due to spontaneous emission, produces an earlier arrival of 65.8ns in agreement with the reported 62.1ns\pm 3.7ns, with a RMS of 16.4ns explaining the apparent superluminal effect. It is also shown, that early arrival of long 10500ns neutrinos pulse to Gran Sasso, by 57.8ns with respect to the speed of light, could be explained by a shape deforming effect due to a combination of stimulated absorption and spontaneous emission, while traveling by the decay tunnel that acts as a LASER tube.

We discuss the properties of two different types of infrared solutions of Landau gauge Yang-Mills theory and argue for one of these (the 'scaling solution'). We furthermore clarify the status of previously obtained results from DSEs on a four-torus. Including quarks we discuss a relation between confinement and dynamical chiral symmetry breaking based on the scaling solution of Yang-Mills theory. An infrared singularity in the quark-gluon vertex allows for a solution of the $U_A$(1) problem along the lines of a mechanism suggested by Kogut and Susskind long ago.

The molecular assignments to the three $P_c$ states and the similar production mechanism between the $\Lambda_b\to P_c+K$ and $B\to XYZ+K$ convince us the $B$ decaying to a charmonium state plus light mesons could be the appropriate production process to search for the charmoniumlike molecular tetraquarks. In this work, we systematically study the interactions between a charmed (charmed-strange) meson and an anti-charmed (anti-charm-strange) meson, which include the $D^{(*)}\bar{D}^{(*)}$, $\bar{D}^{(*)}\bar{D}_1$, $D^{(*)}\bar{D}_2^*$, $D_s^{(*)}\bar{D}_s^{(*)}$, ${D}_s^{(*)}\bar{D}_{s0}^*$, $D_s^{(*)}\bar{D}_{s1}^{\prime}$, ${D}_s^{(*)}\bar{D}_{s1}$, $D_s^{(*)}\bar{D}_{s2}^*$ systems. After adopting the one-boson-exchange effective potentials, our numerical results indicate that, on one hand, there can exist a serial of isoscalar charmoniumlike $\mathcal{D}\bar{\mathcal{D}}$ and $\mathcal{D}_s\bar{\mathcal{D}}_s$ molecular states, on the other hand, we can fully exclude the charged charmoniumlike states as the isovector charmoniumlike molecules. Meanwhile, we discuss the two-body hidden-charm decay channels for the obtained $\mathcal{D}\bar{\mathcal{D}}$ and $\mathcal{D}_s\bar{\mathcal{D}}_s$ molecules, especially the $D^{*}\bar{D}^{*}$ molecular tetraquarks. By analyzing the experimental data collected from the $B\to XYZ+K$ and the mass spectrum and two-body hidden-charm decay channels for the obtained $\mathcal{D}\bar{\mathcal{D}}$ and $\mathcal{D}_s\bar{\mathcal{D}}_s$ molecules, we find several possible hints of the existence of the charmoniumlike molecular tetraquarks, i.e., a peculiar characteristic mass spectrum of the isoscalar $D^*\bar{D}^*$ molecular systems can be applied to identify the charmoniumlike molecule. We look forward to the future experiments like the LHCb, Belle II, and BESIII Collaborations can test our results with more precise experimental data.

We have studied the consequences of breaking the CPT symmetry in the neutrino sector, using the expected high-energy neutrino flux from distant cosmological sources such as active galaxies. For this purpose we have assumed three different hypotheses for the neutrino production model, characterised by the flavour fluxes at production \phi_e^0:\phi_\mu^0:\phi_\tau^0 = 1:2:0, 0:1:0, and 1:0:0, and studied the theoretical and experimental expectations for the muon-neutrino flux at Earth, \phi_\mu, and for the flavour ratios at Earth, R = \phi_\mu/\phi_e and S = \phi_\tau/\phi_\mu. CPT violation (CPTV) has been implemented by adding an energy-independent term to the standard neutrino oscillation Hamiltonian. This introduces three new mixing angles, two new eigenvalues and three new phases, all of which have currently unknown values. We have varied the new mixing angles and eigenvalues within certain bounds, together with the parameters associated to pure standard oscillations. Our results indicate that, for the models 1:2:0 and 0:1:0, it might possible to find large deviations for \phi_\mu, R, and S between the cases without and with CPTV, provided the CPTV eigenvalues lie within 10^{-29}-10^{-27} GeV, or above. Moreover, if CPTV exists, there are certain values of R and S that can be accounted for by up to three production models. If no CPTV were observed, we could set limits on the CPTV eigenvalues of the same order. Detection prospects calculated using IceCube suggest that for the models 1:2:0 and 0:1:0, the modifications due to CPTV are larger and more clearly separable from the standard-oscillations predictions. We conclude that IceCube is potentially able to detect CPTV but that, depending on the values of the CPTV parameters, there could be a mis-determination of the neutrino production model.

The chemical freeze-out parameters in central nucleus-nucleus collisions are extracted consistently from hadron yield data within the quantum van der Waals (QvdW) hadron resonance gas model. The beam energy dependences for skewness and kurtosis of net baryon, net electric, and net strangeness charges are predicted. The QvdW interactions in asymmetric matter, $Q/B \neq 0.5$, between (anti)baryons yield a non-congruent liquid-gas phase transition, together with a nuclear critical point (CP) with critical temperature of $T_c=19.5$ MeV. The nuclear CP yields the collision energy dependence of the skewness and the kurtosis to both deviate significantly from the ideal hadron resonance gas baseline predictions even far away, in $(T,\mu_B)$-plane, from the CP. These predictions can readily be tested by STAR and NA61/SHINE Collaborations at the RHIC BNL and the SPS CERN, respectively, and by HADES at GSI. The results presented here offer a broad opportunity for the search for signals of phase transition in dense hadronic matter at the future NICA and FAIR high intensity facilities.

The QCD axion has been postulated to exist because it solves the strong CP problem. Furthermore, if it exists axions should be created in the early Universe and could account for all the observed dark matter. In particular, axion masses of order $10^{-10}$ to $10^{-7}$ eV correspond to axions in the vicinity of the GUT-scale. In this mass range many experiments have been proposed to search for the axion through the standard QED coupling parameter $g_{a\gamma\gamma}$. Recently axion electrodynamics has been expanded to include two more coupling parameters, $g_{aEM}$ and $g_{aMM}$, which could arise if heavy magnetic monopoles exist. In this work we show that both $g_{aMM}$ and $g_{aEM}$ may be searched for using a high voltage capacitor. Since the experiment is not sensitive to $g_{a\gamma\gamma}$, it gives a new way to search for effects of heavy monopoles if the GUT-scale axion is shown to exist, or to simultaneously search for both the axion and the monopole at the same time.

Recently axion electrodynamics has been expanded to include two more coupling parameters, $g_{aEM}$ and $g_{aMM}$, which could arise if heavy magnetic monopoles exist. In this work we show that both $g_{aMM}$ and $g_{aEM}$ may be searched for using a high voltage capacitor. Since the experiment is not sensitive to $g_{a\gamma\gamma}$, it gives a new way to search for effects of heavy monopoles if the GUT-scale axion is shown to exist, or to simultaneously search for both the axion and the monopole at the same time.

We compute the contribution of third generation quarks ($t,\ b$) to the two-loop amplitude for on-shell $W$ boson pair production in gluon fusion $gg \to WW$. We present plots for the amplitude across partonic phase space as well as reference values for two kinematic points. The master integrals are efficiently evaluated by numerically solving a system of ordinary differential equations.

A complete analysis of isospin breaking in $K\to 2\pi$ amplitudes, including both strong and electromagnetic corrections at next-to-leading order in chiral perturbation theory, has been achieved recently. We discuss the implication of these effects, together with the previously known chiral loop corrections, on the direct CP-violating ratio epsilon'/epsilon.

We include the $\eta_c$ meson into the $\eta$-$\eta'$-$G$ mixing formalism constructed in our previous work, where $G$ represents the pseudoscalar gluball. The mixing angles in this tetramixing matrix are constrained by theoretical and experimental implications from relevant hadronic processes. Especially, the angle between $\eta_c$ and $G$ is found to be about $11^\circ$ from the measured decay widths of the $\eta_c$ meson. The pseudoscalar glueball mass $m_G$, the pseudoscalar densities $m_{qq,ss,cc}$ and the U(1) anomaly matrix elements associated with the mixed states are solved from the anomalous Ward identities. The solution $m_G\approx 1.4$ GeV obtained from the $\eta$-$\eta'$-$G$ mixing is confirmed, while $m_{qq}$ grows to above the pion mass, and thus increases perturbative QCD predictions for the branching ratios $Br(B\to\eta'K)$. We then analyze the $\eta_c$-mixing effects on charmonium magnetic dipole transitions, and on the $B\to\eta^{(\prime)}K_S$ branching ratios and CP asymmetries, which further improve the consistency between theoretical predictions and data. A predominant observation is that the $\eta_c$ mixing enhances the perturbative QCD predictions for $Br(B\to\eta'K)$ by 18%, but does not alter those for $Br(B\to\eta K)$. The puzzle due to the large $Br(B\to\eta'K)$ data is then resolved.

The axial anomaly in the divergence of the singlet axial current in QCD $+$ QED leads to low-energy theorems for the matrix element of this operator equation over vacuum and two--photon states and for the matrix element over vacuum and two--gluon states. The solution of these theorems is related only to the nonperturbative phenomena. These matrix elements are calculated in instanton vacuum generated N-JL type quark model for arbitrary $N_f .$ It is shown that this model does satisfy the low-energy theorems.

In calculations, we use the formula $\mu=\sqrt{M^2_{P}-(2{\mathbb{M}}_c)^2}$ to determine the energy scales of the QCD spectral densities. We obtain the masses of the hidden-charm pentaquark states with the strangeness $S=-1$ and $S=-2$, which can be confronted to the experimental data in the future.

The possible periodic structure of the scattering amplitude and its dependence on the number of additional dimensions are analyzed. The effects of the gravitational hadron form factors obtained from the hadron eneralized parton distributions (GPDs) on the behavior of the interaction potential and the scattering amplitude are analyzed. It is shown that in most part the periodic structure comes from the approximation of our calculations.

We investigate photo-production of vector mesons J/Psi and Upsilon measured both at HERA and LHC, using 2 particular fits of inclusive unintegrated gluon distributions, based on non-linear Balitsky-Kovchegov evolution (Kutak-Sapeta gluon; KS) and next-to-leading order Balitsky-Fadin-Kuraev-Lipatov evolution (Hentschinski-Sabio Vera-Salas gluon; HSS). We find that linear next-to-leading order evolution can only describe production at highest energies, if perturbative corrections are increased to unnaturally large values; rendering this corrections to a perturbative size, the growth with energy is too strong and the description fails. At the same time, the KS gluon, which we explore both with and without non-linear corrections, requires the latter to achieve an accurate description of the energy dependence of data. We interpret this observation as a clear signal for the presence of high gluon densities in the proton, characteristic for the onset of gluon saturation.

We analytically calculate the spectrum of stochastic gravitational waves (GWs) emitted by expanding string loops on domain walls in the scenario where domain walls decay by nucleation of string loops. By introducing macroscopic parameters characterizing the nucleation of the loops, the stochastic GW spectrum is derived in a way that is independent of the details of particle physics models. In contrast to GWs emitted from bubble collisions of the false vacuum decay, the string loops do radiate GWs even when they are perfectly circular before their collisions, resulting in that more and more contribution to the spectrum comes from the smaller and smaller loops compared to the typical size of the collided loops. Consequently, the spectrum is linearly proportional to the frequency at the high-frequency region, which is peculiar to this GW source. Furthermore, the results are compared with the recent nano-Hertz pulsar timing array signal, as well as the projected sensitivity curves of future gravitational wave observatories.

Small size QCD instantons may spoil the axion solution to the strong CP problem if QCD is not asymptotically free at high energy scales. We examine this issue in supersymmetric models using a manifestly supersymmetric scheme to compute the axion potential induced by small size instantons. Applying this scheme for a class of illustrative models, it is found that the resulting high energy axion potential is highly model-dependent, but suppressed by more powers of the soft supersymmetry breaking parameters and/or of the other small mass scales than what is expected based on a naive instanton graph analysis. Our analysis suggests that the axion solution is stable against the small QCD instanton effects in a wide class of supersymmetric models even when QCD is not asymtotically free at high energy scales.

P may be either a heavier neutral meson or a charged meson. We perform a rephasing-invariant analysis of the quantities that show up in such cascade decays. If the decay P -> M + ...

However, when both the P -> M + ... and P -> Mbar + ... decays are allowed, we find a new class of rephasing-invariant parameters, xi_i, that measure the interference between the mixing of a neutral meson system and the decay from the initial state *into that system*. We show that the quantities lambda_f and xi_i are necessary and sufficient to describe all the interference effects present in the most general cascade decay.

Precision top mass measurements at hadron colliders have been notoriously difficult. The fundamental challenge in the current approaches lies in achieving simultaneously high top mass sensitivity and good theoretical control. Inspired by the use of standard candles in cosmology, we overcome this problem by showing that a single energy correlator-based observable can be constructed that reflects the characteristic angular scales associated with both the $W$-boson and top quark. This gives direct access to the dimensionless quantity $m_{t}/m_{W}$, from which $m_{t}$ can be extracted in a well-defined short-distance mass scheme as a function of the well-known $m_{W}$. A Monte-Carlo-based study is performed to demonstrate the properties of our observable and the statistical feasibility of its extraction from the Run 2 and 3 and High-Luminosity LHC data sets. The resulting $m_t$ has remarkably small uncertainties from hadronization effects and is insensitive to the underlying event and parton distribution functions. Our proposed observable provides a road map for a rich program to achieve a top mass determination at the LHC with record precision.

A Monte-Carlo-based study is performed to demonstrate the properties of our observable and the statistical feasibility of its extraction from the Run 2 and 3 and High-Luminosity LHC data sets. The resulting $m_t$ has remarkably small uncertainties from hadronization effects and is insensitive to the underlying event and parton distribution functions. Our proposed observable provides a road map for a rich program to achieve a top mass determination at the LHC with record precision.

The simplest non-abelian gauge extension of the electroweak standard model, the $SU(3)_c\otimes SU(3)_L\otimes U(1)_N$, known as 3-3-1 model, has a minimal version which demands the least possible fermionic content to account for the whole established phenomenology for the well known particles and interactions. Nevertheless, in its original form the minimal 3-3-1 model was proposed with a set of three scalar triplets and one sextet in order to yield the spontaneous breaking of the gauge symmetry and generate the observed fermion masses. Such a huge scalar sector turns the task of clearly identifying the physical scalar spectrum a clumsy labor. It not only adds an obstacle for the development of its phenomenology but implies a scalar potential plagued with new free coupling constants. In this work we show that the framework of the minimal 3-3-1 model can be built with only two scalar triplets, but still triggering the desired pattern of spontaneous symmetry breaking and generating the correct fermion masses. We present the exact physical spectrum and also show all the interactions involving the scalars, obtaining a neat minimal 3-3-1 model far more suited for phenomenological studies at the current Large Hadron Collider.

Various developing topics in CP violation are reviewed. There are many theoretical reasons to hope that the CKM paradigm may be incomplete. It is surely too soon to be claiming new physics in \epsilon^\prime/\epsilon or in D^0-\bar D^0 mixing, but rare K decays offer interesting places to search for new physics. It is probably also premature to see a clash between global CKM fits and current estimates of sin \beta and \gamma, where much more precise data will soon be available. There are interesting possibilities to look for CP violation in neutrino oscillations and in Higgs physics. Rapid progress can be expected now that CP violation is moving to the top of the particle physics agenda.

We present the three-body decay of the Higgs boson into two leptons and a photon to dimension-eight in the Standard Model Effective Field Theory (SMEFT). In order to obtain this result we interfere the full one-loop Standard Model result with the tree-level result in the SMEFT. This is the first calculation of the partial width of the Higgs boson into two leptons and a photon in the SMEFT to incorporate the full one-loop dependence for the Standard Model as well as the full tree level dimension-eight dependence in the SMEFT. We find that this channel can aid in distinguishing strongly interacting and weakly interacting UV completions of the SMEFT under standard assumptions. We also find that this channel presents the opportunity to distinguish different operator Classes within the SMEFT, potentially including contact $H\bar\ell\ell\gamma$ operators which are first generated only at dimension-eight in the SMEFT.

At low $ m_{A^0}$ ($\lsim 60\gev$), {\it both} the $H^0\to A^0A^0\to 4b$ and $H^0\to h^0h^0\to 4b$ modes yield a viable signal for most $\tan\beta$ values; viability for the $h^0h^0$ channel extends up to $\mhh\sim 2\mt$ when the model parameter $\tan\beta$ is not large. At the Tevatron, the $h^0h^0$ and $A^0A^0$ channels are both potentially viable at low $ m_{A^0}$ for sufficiently good $b$-tagging efficiency and purity.

We predict the sterile neutrino spectrum of some of the key solar nuclear reactions and discuss the possibility of these being observed by the next generation of solar neutrino experiments. By using an up-to-date standard solar model with good agreement with current helioseismology and solar neutrino flux data sets, we found that from solar neutrino fluxes arriving on Earth only 3\%-4\% correspond to the sterile neutrino. The most intense solar sources of sterile neutrinos are the $pp$ and $^7Be$ nuclear reactions with a total flux of $2.2\times 10^{9}\;{\rm cm^2 s^{-1}}$ and $1.8\times 10^{8}\;{\rm cm^2 s^{-1}}$, followed by the $^{13}N$ and $^{15}O$ nuclear reactions with a total flux of $1.9\times 10^{7}\;{\rm cm^2 s^{-1}}$ and $1.7\times 10^{7}\;{\rm cm^2 s^{-1}}$. Moreover, we compute the sterile neutrino spectra of the nuclear proton-proton nuclear reactions -- $pp$, $hep$ and $^8B$ and the carbon-nitrogen-oxygen -- $^{13}N$, $^{15}O$ and $^{17}F$ and the spectral lines of $^7Be$.

The emergent gauge theories are reconsidered in light of supersymmetry and an appropriate emergence conjecture is formulated. Accordingly, it might be expected that only global symmetries are fundamental symmetries of Nature, whereas local symmetries and associated massless gauge fields could solely emerge due to spontaneous breaking of underlying spacetime symmetries involved, such as relativistic invariance and supersymmetry. We further argue that this breaking, taken in the form of the nonlinear sigma-model type pattern for vector fields or superfields, puts essential restrictions on geometrical degrees of freedom of a physical field system that makes it to adjust itself in such a way that its global internal symmetry G turns into the local symmetry G_{loc}. Remarkably, this emergence process may naturally be triggered by supersymmetry, as is illustrated in detail by an example of a general supersymmetric QED model which is then extended to the Standard Model and GUTs. The requirement of vacuum stability in such class of models makes both Lorentz invariance and supersymmetry to become spontaneously broken in the visible sector. As a consequence, massless photon and other gauge bosons appear as the corresponding Goldstone and pseudo-Goldstone zero modes and special local invariance is simultaneously generated. Due to this invariance all possible Lorentz violations are turned out to be completely cancelled out among themselves. However, broken supersymmetry effects related to an existence of a light pseudo-goldstino (being essentially a photino) are still left in the theory. It typically appears in the low-energy particle spectrum as the eV scale stable LSP or the electroweak scale long-lived NLSP, being in both cases accompanied by a very light gravitino, that could be considered as some observational signature in favor of emergent supersymmetric theories.

The breaking of SO(10) to SU(3)_C x U(1)_EM can be accomplished by just four Higgs fields: the symmetric rank-two tensor, S(54); a pair of spinors, C(16) and Cbar(16bar); and a vector, T(10). This setup is also able to generate realistic fermion masses. The heavy color triplets in the vector and spinor fields mediate proton decay via dimension-five operators.

Multiple soft pion production in the baryon scattering reactions is considered in the framework of chiral nonlinear sigma model neglecting the pion mass. Treating baryons in the eikonal approximation as classical sources, a set of analytical solutions for the pion field is found. A tree S-matrix is constructed on the basis of these solutions describing the emission (or absorption) of any number of soft pions. Then the contribution of soft virtual pions is taken into account in a closed form. It is shown that the loop corrections strongly suppress the pion radiation, and for the two limiting cases of nonrelativistic and ultra-relativistic baryon scatterings there is no pion emission from the "ends". Thus, the mechanism similar to the soft photon bremsstrahlung in the quantum electrodynamics seems to be unable to create a state with a large number of the soft pions.

In this work we consider how a parton distribution function, with an explicit transverse momentum dependence can be properly defined in a regularization-scheme independent manner. We argue that by considering a factorized form of the transverse momentum dependent spectrum for the production of a heavy lepton pair in Drell-Yan reaction, one should first split the relevant soft function into two boost invariant contributions. When those soft contributions are added to the pure collinear contributions, well-defined hadronic matrix elements emerge, i.e., the transverse momentum dependent distributions. We also perform a comparison with Collins' definition.

We study the feebly interacting dark matter with the Standard Model fields, where the preceding and the latter ones are the constituents of the bosonic cosmological objects, the scalar boson stars (BS). The scalar dark matter (SDM) massive fields can form the macroscopic scalar bound state when minimally coupled to gravity (GR). The star may have approximately a stationary form with an asymptotically flat geometry, and the maximal mass of the BS is larger than the solar mass. We consider an effective description of a more complete model with the (thermo)dynamic potential of the BS at finite temperature. The formation of the BS may also be explained in terms of the electric fluxes of the hidden vector field under the influence of the SDM field as the cosmological dynamical quantity minimally coupled to GR. The SDM fields may fluctuate with the temperature and is established around the equilibrium state at some weak background scale.

We shortly review the top quark decay into charged Higgs, and present new results on its production at the upgraded Tevatron. We have computed the MSSM cross-section for single charged Higgs in association with the top quark beyond the regime of on-shell t t-bar production followed by the decay t -> H+ b. Our results are higher than recent results in the literature. In the case where H+ belongs to the Higgs sector of the MSSM, we show that the leading supersymmetric radiative corrections may substantially increase the cross-section. Overall we find that the charged Higgs production process can be complementary to the neutral Higgs production processes W\Phi and b b-bar\Phi, which have been studied under similar circumstances. Since the neutral and charged Higgs channels are enhanced in the same region of the parameter space, the simultaneous detection of all these processes could be essential for an effective experimental underpinning of the nature of these Higgs particles at the Tevatron-Run II.

Parton branching methods underlie the Monte Carlo (MC) generators, being therefore of key importance for obtaining high energy physics predictions. We construct a new parton branching algorithm which for the first time incorporates the off-shell, transverse-momentum dependent (TMD) splitting functions, defined from the high-energy limit of partonic decay amplitudes. Based on these TMD splitting functions we construct a new TMD Sudakov form factor. We present the first MC implementation of the algorithm for the evolution of the TMD and integrated parton distribution functions (PDFs). We use this implementation to evaluate small-$x$ corrections to the distributions and to verify the momentum sum rule. The presented study is a first step towards a full TMD MC generator covering the small-$x$ phase space.

Parton branching methods underlie the Monte Carlo (MC) generators, being therefore of key importance for obtaining high energy physics predictions. We construct a new parton branching algorithm which for the first time incorporates the off-shell, transverse-momentum dependent (TMD) splitting functions, defined from the high-energy limit of partonic decay amplitudes. Based on these TMD splitting functions we construct a new TMD Sudakov form factor.

We revisit the flux of chameleons (light scalar particles which could play a role in the dark energy phenomenon) produced in the interior of the Sun. Our novel analysis incorporates various important details and new processes that have previously been overlooked, including the impact of the bulk magnetic field profile, as well as Primakoff production of chameleons in the electric fields of electrons and ions. In this paper we consider only the contributions of transverse photons. The production of chameleons from longitudinal electromagnetic excitations will be presented in a dedicated follow-up work. Demanding that the total flux of chameleons does not exceed 3% of the solar luminosity leads to the stringent upper limit on the chameleon-photon conformal coupling $\beta_\gamma \lesssim 10^{10}$, assuming that the height of the chameleon potential is set to the dark energy scale $\Lambda = 2.4$ meV, and independently of other couplings to matter. Although this bound is tighter than current upper limits on $\beta_{\gamma}$ from the CAST helioscope, these limits will have to be reassessed in terms of the updated solar chameleon flux we have computed. We argue that solar chameleons, potentially detectable in next-generation helioscopes such as IAXO, can be used to probe a region of chameleon parameter space that has yet to be covered.

We present a version of the Type II Seesaw mechanism for parametrically small Dirac neutrino masses. Our model starts from an $\text{SU}(2)_\text{L} \otimes \text{SU}(2)'\otimes \text{U}(1)_\text{X}$ gauge extension of the Standard Model involving a sector of mirror fermions. A bidoublet scalar with a very small vacuum expectation value connects the SM leptons with their mirror counterparts and we can identify the mirror neutrino with the right-handed neutrino. Similar to the conventional Type II Seesaw, our particle spectrum features singly- and doubly-charged scalars. The strong CP problem is solved by a discrete exchange symmetry between the two sectors that forces the contributions of quarks and mirror quarks to the strong CP phase to cancel each other. We discuss the low-energy phenomenology, comment on the cosmological implications of this scenario and indicate how to realize successful Dirac leptogenesis.

An approach to the extraction of the two-photon exchange (TPE) correction from elastic $ep$ scattering data is presented. The cross section, polarization transfer (PT), and charge asymmetry data are considered. It is assumed that the TPE correction to the PT data is negligible. The form factors and TPE correcting term are given by one multidimensional function approximated by the feed forward neural network (NN). To find a model-independent approximation the Bayesian framework for the NNs is adapted. A large number of different parametrizations is considered. The most optimal model is indicated by the Bayesian algorithm. The obtained fit of the TPE correction behaves linearly in epsilon but it has a nontrivial Q2 dependence. A strong dependence of the TPE fit on the choice of parametrization is observed.

We compute the $O(\alpha_s \alpha^2)$ and $O(\alpha_s^2 \alpha)$ contributions to the production cross section of a $Z$ boson with one $b$ jet at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), and study their phenomenological relevance for LHC physics. The accurate prediction of hadronic $Z+b$-jet production is needed to control a background that greatly affects both the measurement of Higgs-boson properties and searches of new physics at the LHC. At the same time it could enable the first precise measurement of the $b$-quark parton distribution function. In this context $b$-quark mass effects become relevant and need to be studied with care, both at the level of the hard process and at the level of the initial- and final-state parton evolution. It is the aim of this paper to explore some of these issues in the framework of a massive 5 Flavor Scheme and to assess the need for both the inclusion of electroweak corrections, in addition to QCD corrections, and $b$-quark mass effects in the prediction of total and differential cross sections for hadronic $Z+b$-jet production.

We extend an earlier model for radiatively generated fermion masses based on the Pati-Salam group to include CP violation. Spontaneous CP violation in the early universe gives rise to a complex mass matrix for heavy sterile neutrinos. The out-of-equilibrium decay of these neutrinos generates a $B-L$ asymmetry. The sterile neutrinos also act as a mass seed in generating one-loop (complex) mass matrices for the quarks. Thus, the two low energy manifestations of CP violation -- the CKM phase and the baryon number asymmetry -- can both be traced in a calculable way to a common source.

We study here the inverse problem of starting from the femtoscopic correlation functions of related channels and analyze them with an efficient tool to extract the maximum information possible on the interaction of the components of these channels, and the existence of possible bound states tied to this interaction. The method is flexible enough to accommodate non-molecular components and the effect of missing channels relevant for the interaction. We apply the method to realistic correlation functions for the $D^{*+}D^0$ and $D^{*0}D^+$ channels derived consistently from the properties of the $T_{cc}(3875)^+$ and find that we can extract the existence of a bound state, its nature as a molecular state of the $D^{*+}D^0$ and $D^{*0}D^+$ channels, the probabilities of each channel, as well as scattering lengths and effective ranges for the channels, together with the size of the source function, all of them with a relatively good precision.

In this work we study the structure of the electromagnetic interactions and the electric charge quantization in gauge theories of electroweak interactions based on semi-simple groups. We show that in the standard model of the electroweak interactions the structure of the electromagnetic interactions is strongly correlated to the quantization pattern of the electric charges. We examine these two questions also in all possible chiral bilepton gauge models of the electroweak interactions. In all they we can explain the vectorlike nature of the electromagnetic interactions and the electric charge quantization together demanding nonvanishing fermion masses and the anomaly cancellations.

Matter isocurvature perturbations are strictly constrained from cosmic microwave background observations. We study a sneutrino curvaton model where both cold dark matter (CDM)/baryon isocurvature perturbations are generated. In our model, total matter isocurvature perturbations are reduced since the CDM/baryon isocurvature perturbations compensate for each other. We show that this model can not only avoid the stringent observational constraints but also suppress temperature anisotropies on large scales, which leads to improved agreement with observations.

Model estimates are obtained for the influence of Coulomb effects on the ratio of the cross sections for the production of charged and neutral $B\bar B$ and $B^*\bar B^*$ pairs in $e^+e^-$ annihilation. It is shown that the difference between the masses of charged and neutral mesons obtained under the assumption that this ratio is constant on a scale of the order of the beam energy spread can differ from the true one by $\delta M \sim 0.03\,\mbox{MeV}$ at the energy of $\Upsilon (5S)$ and by $\delta M \sim 0.4\,\mbox{MeV}$ at the energy of $\Upsilon (4S)$. Thus, the errors given in the PDG for the difference between the masses of charged and neutral $B$ mesons, based on the results obtained at the energy of $\Upsilon (4S)$, are strongly underestimated. Similar measurements at the energy of $\Upsilon (5S)$ will have an order of magnitude smaller systematic shift for the mass difference. This circumstance should be taken into account when planning future experiments at the $B$ factory in KEK.

We investigate the effect of the dimuon CP asymmetry from the B decay modes, recently observed at 3.2 sigma deviation from the Standard Model (SM) by the D0 collaboration, in the context of SU(5) and SO(10) GUT models. We exhibit that a large amount of flavor violation between the second and the third generation is generated due to the large neutrino atmospheric mixing angle and this flavor violation can be responsible for the observed large CP asymmetry due to the presence of new phases (not present in the CKM matrix) in the Yukawa couplings. We also study the implication of the parameter space in these GUT models with large CP violating lepton asymmetry for different phenomenologies, e.g., Br(tau -> mu + gamma), Br(B_s -> mu + mu) at the Fermilab, direct detection of dark matter (DM) in the ongoing detectors and measurement of muon flux from solar neutrinos at the IceCube experiment.

We discuss the recently observed excess of high Q2 neutral current deep inelastic scattering events at HERA in the light of supersymmetry with broken R-parity. We find more than one possible solution. We consider the possibilities for testing these hypotheses at HERA, the TEVATRON and at LEP. One lepton-number violating operator can account for both the HERA data and the four-jet anomaly seen by ALEPH at LEP.

We present arguments regarding diquarks possible role in low-energy hadron phenomenology that escaped theorists' attention so far. Good diquarks, i.e. the $0^{+}$ states of two quarks, are argued to have a two-component structure with one of the components peaking at distances several times shorter than a typical hadron size (a short-range core). This can play a role in solving two old puzzles of the 't Hooft 1/N expansion: strong quark mass dependence of the vacuum energy density and strong violations of the Okubo-Zweig-Iizuka (OZI) rule in the quark-antiquark $0^\pm$ channels. In both cases empiric data defy 't Hooft's 1/N suppression. If good diquarks play a role at an intermediate energy scale they ruin 't Hoofts planarity because of their mixed-flavor composition. This new scale associated with the good diquarks may be related to a numerically large scale discovered in [V. Novikov, M. Shifman, A. Vainshtein and V. Zakharov, Nucl. Phys. B 191, 301 (1981)] in a number of phenomena mostly related to vacuum quantum numbers and $0^\pm$ glueball channels. If SU(3)$_{\rm color}$ of bona fide QCD is replaced by SU(2)$_{\rm color}$, diquarks become well-defined gauge invariant objects. Moreover, there is an exact symmetry relating them to pions. In this limit predictions regarding good diquarks are iron-clad. If passage from SU(2)$_{\rm color}$ to SU(3)$_{\rm color}$ does not lead to dramatic disturbances, these predictions remain qualitatively valid in bona fide QCD.

We consider the strong decays of the lowest-lying radially excited baryons, in SU(6) language the states comprising the first excited 56-plet. Assuming a single-quark decay approximation, and negligible configuration mixing, we make model-independent predictions for the partial decay widths to final states with a single meson. Masses of unobserved states are predicted using results from large-N_c QCD, and the momentum dependence of the one-body decay amplitude is determined phenomenologically by fitting to observed decays, so that the baryon spatial wave functions are not assumed. We point out that comparison of these predictions to experiment may shed light on whether the Roper resonance can be consistently interpreted as a three-quark state.

We analyse the perturbative contributions from the higher helicity ($\lambda_{1}+\lambda_{1}=\pm 1$) components, which should be naturally contained in the light-cone wave function for the pion as a consequence of the Wigner rotation, in the QCD calculation of the pion form factor. It is pointed out that the contributions may provide the other fraction needed to fit the pion form factor data besides the perturbative contributions from the ordinary helicity components evaluated using the factorization formula with the asymptotic form of the distribution amplitude. We suggest a way to test the higher helicity state contributions.

If the parameter $tan \beta$ of the minimal supersymmetric model is large, then $b$ and $\tau$ Yukawa interactions are important. These can significantly modify the masses and decays of sparticles. We describe new calculations which allow a reliable exploration of large $tan \beta$ values, and discuss implications for collider experiments. For large values of $tan \beta$, charginos and neutralinos may dominantly decay to $\tau$-leptons or $b$-quarks. The usual cross sections for multilepton signatures may be greatly reduced, but SUSY may be detectable via new signals involving $\tau$'s or $b$'s in the final state.

The fact that the $N$-dimensional unitary group over the field of complex numbers ${\rm U}(N,\mathbb{C})$ is not a linear algebraic group is actually irrelevant for the validity of the Molien-Weyl formula.

We studied the photoproduction of $\psi^{\prime}$ in the forward regions in polarized $\gamma p$ collisions at relevant HERA energies. We found that this reaction is very effective to test the color-octet mechanism which is based on the NRQCD factorization formalism. Furthermore we found that the value of the NRQCD matrix elements can be severely constrained by measuring the two-spin asymmetry, though the process depends on the polarized gluon distribution $\Delta g(x)$.

We investigate near-threshold production of quarkonium resonances in cold nuclear matter through a scaling theory with two exponents which are fixed by existing data on near-threshold J/psi production in proton-nucleus collisions. Interestingly, it seems possible to extend one of the multifractal dimensions to the production of other mesons in cold nuclear matter. The scaling theory can be tested and refined in experiments at the upcoming high-intensity FAIR accelerator complex in GSI.

Quark and lepton masses and mixings are considered in the framework of the microscopic model. The most general ansatz for the interactions among tetrons leads to a Hamiltonian $H_T$ involving Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya (DM), Heisenberg and torsional isospin forces. Diagonalization of the Hamiltonian provides for 24 eigenvalues which are identified as the quark and lepton masses. While the masses of the third and second family arise from DM and Heisenberg type of isospin interactions, light family masses are related to torsional interactions among tetrons. Neutrino masses turn out to be special in that they are given in terms of tiny isospin non-conserving DM, Heisenberg and torsional couplings. The approach not only leads to masses, but also allows to calculate the quark and lepton eigenstates, an issue, which is important for the determination of the CKM and PMNS mixing matrices. Compact expressions for the eigenfunctions of $H_T$ are given. The almost exact isospin conservation of the system dictates the form of the lepton states and makes them independent of all the couplings in $H_T$. Much in contrast, there is a strong dependence of the quark states on the coupling strengths, and a promising hierarchy between the quark families shows up.

A model of baryogenesis is introduced where our usual visible Universe is a 3-brane coevolving with a hidden 3-brane in a multidimensional bulk. The visible matter and antimatter sectors are naturally coupled with the hidden matter and antimatter sectors, breaking the C/CP invariance and leading to baryogenesis occurring after the quark-gluon era. The issue of leptogenesis is also discussed. The symmetry breaking spontaneously occurs due to the presence of an extra scalar field supported by the $U(1)\otimes U(1)$ gauge group, which extends the conventional electromagnetic gauge field in the two-brane universe. Observational consequences are discussed.

In a recent paper, 8 semileptonic parameters were defined to specify the most general Lorentz-invariant spin correlation functions for 2-body tau decays. These parameters can be used to search for anomalous longitudinal-versus transverse polarized-partial widths, for non-CKM-type leptonic CP violation, and for leptonic T violation. They can also be used to bound the effective-mass scales ``Lambda" for new physics arising from additional Lorentz structures, e.g. from lepton compositeness, tau weak magnetism, weak electricity, or second-class currents. It is emphasized that (i) for these tests ``different modes have different merits" and that (ii) the parameters can be measured either by using spin-correlation techniques without polarized beams, or with longitudinally polarized beams.

Focusing on the general Two Higgs Doublet Model (G2HDM) that possesses extra Yukawa couplings, the process is controlled by extra top couplings $\rho_{tc}$ and $\rho_{tt}$, which can drive electroweak baryogenesis (EWBG) to account for the baryon asymmetry of the Universe (BAU). We propose benchmark points (BPs) and demonstrate that evidence could emerge at 14 TeV LHC and luminosity of 300 fb$^{-1}$, with discovery potential at 600 fb$^{-1}$.

We study the effects of a modest V+A admixture strength in $b\tou$ current in the decay $B \to\rho l \nu$. We have shown that the decay rate, lepton forward-backward distribution asymmetry $A_{FB}$ and polarization ratio are sensitive to the admixture. Future experimental studies of the decay at BaBar and BELLE could clarify the chirality of $b\to u$ current and might reveal hints for New Physics with right-handed quark currents.

We study the effects of a modest V+A admixture strength in $b\tou$ current in the decay $B \to\rho l \nu$. We have shown that the decay rate, lepton forward-backward distribution asymmetry $A_{FB}$ and polarization ratio are sensitive to the admixture. Future experimental studies of the decay at BaBar and BELLE could clarify the chirality of $b\to u$ current and might reveal hints for New Physics with right-handed quark currents.

We consider the eigenstate problem for a Hamiltonian operator of the field theory. Methods of construction the effective field theoretical Hamiltonians for which the eigenstate problem may be solved are discussed. In particular, we discuss the method of flow equations from a general perspective as well as in application to the gauge field theories. Flow equations transform the Hamiltonian to a block-diagonal form with the number of particles conserved in each block and thus reduce the original bound state problem to a set of coupled eigenstate equations with an effective Hamiltonian in each sector. Applications of flow equations to the Hamiltonians of QED and QCD in the light-front gauge and the QCD Hamiltonian in the Coulomb gauge are considered. Using flow equations, we derive the effective Hamiltonians as well as the renormalized gap equations and the Bethe-Salpeter equations for the bound states in these theories. We show that the obtained equations are finite in both UV and IR regions and are completely renormalized in UV, i.e. the corresponding solutions do not depend on the cut-off $\Lambda$. We calculate positronium spectrum, glueball masses, $\pi-\rho$ mass splitting, gluon and chiral quark condensates and compare our results with the covariant calculations and experimental results. Use of flow equations to calculate the dynamical terms is critical to achive good agreement with experimental results.

We present an analytical calculation of the leading three-loop radiative correction to the S-parameter in the Standard Model in the large Higgs mass limit. Numerically, S^(3) = 1.1105*g^4/(1024 pi^3)*m_H^4/M_W^4. When combined with the corresponding three-loop correction to the rho-parameter, this leads to shifts of Delta^(3) sin^2 theta_eff = 4.6*10^-9*m_H^4/M_W^4 in the effective weak mixing angle and Delta^(3) M_W = -6.3*10^-4*MeV*m_H^4/M_W^4 in the W boson mass. For both of these observables, the sign of the three-loop correction is equal to that of the one-loop correction.

We extend the coverage of resonant di-Higgs searches in the $b \bar{b} b \bar{b}$ final state to the process $p p \to H_1 \to H_2 H_2 \to b \bar{b} b \bar{b}$, where both $H_{1,2}$ are spin-$0$ states beyond the Standard Model. Such a process constitutes a joint discovery mode for the new states $H_1$ and $H_2$. We present the first sensitivity study of this channel, using public LHC data to validate our analysis. We also provide a first estimate of the sensitivity of the search for the HL-LHC and future facilities like the HE-LHC and FCC-hh. We analyze the discovery potential of this search for several non-minimal scalar sector scenarios: an extension of the SM with two extra singlet scalar fields, the two-Higgs-doublet model and a two-Higgs doublet model plus a singlet, which captures the scalar potential features of the NMSSM. We find that this channel represents a novel, very powerful probe for extended Higgs sectors, offering complementary sensitivity to existing analyses.

Sea quark distributions in the nucleon have naively been expected to be generated perturbatively by gluon splitting. In this case, there is no reason for the light quark and anti-quark sea distributions to be different. No asymmetries in the strange or heavy quark sea distributions are predicted in the improved parton model. However, recent experiments have called these naive expectations into question. A violation of the Gottfried sum rule has been measured in several experiments, suggesting that $\bar u < \bar d$ in the proton. Additionally, other measurements, while not definitive, show that there may be an asymmetry in the strange and anti-strange quark sea distributions. These effects may require nonperturbative explanations. In this review we first discuss the perturbative aspects of the sea quark distributions. We then describe the experiments that could point to nonperturbative contributions to the nucleon sea. Current phenomenological models that could explain some of these effects are reviewed.

At very high temperatures Yang--Mills theories can be described through perturbation theory. At the tree level the time components of the gluon fields decouple and yield a dimensionally reduced theory. The expectation value of the Polyakov loop then assumes values of the Z(N) center group. At intermediate temperatures, however, this is not true anymore. The time dependence shows up in loops. In a recent work we integrated out fast varying quantum fluctuations around background A_i and static A_4 fields. We assumed that these fields are slowly varying but that the amplitude of A_4 is arbitrary. As a result we obtained the kinetic energy terms for the Polyakov loop both for the electric and the magnetic sector of SU(2).

In this work we propose a renormalizable model based on the $SU(5)$ gauge group where neutrino mass originates at the two-loop level without extending the fermionic content of the Standard Model (SM). Unlike the conventional $SU(5)$ models, in this proposed scenario, neutrino mass is intertwined with the charged fermion masses. In addition to correctly reproducing the SM charged fermion masses and mixings, neutrino mass is generated at the quantum level, hence naturally explains the smallness of neutrino masses. In this set-up, we provide examples of gauge coupling unification that simultaneously satisfy the proton decay constraints. This model has the potential to be tested experimentally by measuring the proton decay in the future experiments. Scalar leptoquarks that are naturally contained within this framework can accommodate the recent B-physics anomalies.

We investigate the associated production of neutral Higgs boson with squark pair in the minimal supersymmetric standard model with and without explicit CP violation, respectively. We show that the dominant productions in both cases are always ones of the lightest neutral Higgs boson associated with the lightest stop pair, which can reach a few pb, in the ranges of parameters allowed by constraints from the electric dipole moment experiments. In most of the parameter space, the total cross sections in the case with explicit CP violation are significantly enhanced, compared with ones without explicit CP violation. For some special parameters, several orders of magnitude enhancement can be obtained.

In this letter it will be demonstrated explicitly that the finite-element formulation of quantum electrodynamics is free from fermion doubling. We do this by (1) examining the lattice fermion propagator and using it to compute the one-loop vacuum polarization on the lattice, and (2) by an explict computation of vector and axial-vector current anomalies for an arbitrary rectangular lattice in the Schwinger model. There it is shown that requiring that the vector current be conserved necessitates the use of a square lattice, in which case the axial-vector current is anomalous.

We focus on the parameter space where a Higgs particle is likely to be invisible at LEP2 and LHC. Although we choose gaugino/higgsino mixing scenarios that maximize the corresponding production rates we find only for the production of the scalar Higgs bosons in the non-supersymmetric channels non-negligible cross sections of the order of $10^2$ fb.

We investigate dimension five Lorentz-violating nonminimal interactions in the electroweak sector, in connection with the possible generation of electric dipole moment (EDM), weak electric dipole moment (WEDM), magnetic dipole moment (MDM) and weak magnetic dipole moment (WMDM) for leptons. These couplings are composed of the physical fields and LV tensors of ranks ranging from 1 to 4. The CPT-odd couplings do no generate EDM\ behavior and do not provide the correct MDM\ signature, while the CPT-even ones yield EDM and MDM\ behavior, being subject to improved constraining. Tau lepton experimental data is used to constrain the WEDM\ and WMDM couplings to the level of $10^{-4}\left( \text{GeV}\right) ^{-1},$ whereas electron MDM and EDM data is employed to improve constraints to the level of $10^{-17}\left( \text{GeV}\right) ^{-1}$ and $10^{-11}\left( \text{GeV}\right) ^{-1},$ respectively.

Hadrons are characterized by the structure of 5 electrons. The masses of hadrons are defined via the masses of muon and tau-lepton.

We calculate the inclusive J/Psi production in heavy ion collisions including the effects of gluon saturation in the wave functions of the colliding nuclei. We argue that the dominant production mechanism in proton--nucleus and nucleus--nucleus collisions for heavy nuclei is different from the one in hadron-hadron interactions. We find that the rapidity distribution of primary J/Psi production is more peaked around midrapidity than the analogous distribution in elementary pp collisions. We discuss the consequences of this fact on the experimentally observed J/Psi suppression in Au-Au collisions at RHIC energies.

We investigate possible effects of unparticles at the MUonE experiment by considering a general model for unparticle with broken scale invariance, characterized by the scaling dimension $d$ and the energy scale $\mu$ at which the scale invariance is broken. Taking into account available relevant constraints on the couplings of the unparticles with the Standard Model (SM) leptons, we found that the MUonE experiment at the level of 10 ppm systematic accuracy is sensitive to such effects if $1<d\lesssim 1.4$ and $1\le \mu \lesssim 12$ GeV for vector unparticles. The effects of scalar unparticles are too feeble to be detected. The vector unparticles can induce a significant shift on the best-fit value of $a_\mu^\text{had}$ at the MUonE, thereby providing an opportunity to detect unparticles or to obtain a new bound on the unparticle-SM couplings in the case of no anomaly.

We study the most popular scalar extension of the Standard Model, namely the Two Higgs doublet model, extended by a complex triplet scalar (2HDMcT). Such considering model with a very small vacuum expectation value, provides a solution to the massive neutrinos through the so-called type II seesaw mechanism. We show that the 2HDMcT enlarged parameter space allow for a rich and interesting phenomenology compatible with current experimental constraints. In this paper the 2HDMcT is subject to a detailed scrutiny. Indeed, a complete set of tree level unitarity constraints on the coupling parameters of the potential is determined, and the exact tree-level boundedness from below constraints on these couplings are generated for all directions. We then perform an extensive parameter scan in the 2HDMcT parameter space, delimited by the above derived theoretical constraints as well as by experimental limits. We find that an important triplet admixtures are still compatible with the Higgs data and investigate which observables will allow to restrict the triplet nature most effectively in the next runs of the LHC. Finally, we emphasize new production and decay channels and their phenomenological relevance and treatment at the LHC.

In this talk we present recent next-to-leading order results relevant for LHC phenomenology obtained with the GOLEM method. After reviewing the status of this Feynman diagrammatic approach for multi-leg one-loop calculations we discuss three applications: the loop-induced process gg -> Z^*Z^* and the virtual corrections to the five and six point processes qq -> ZZg and u ubar -> s sbar c cbar. We demonstrate that our method leads to representations of such amplitudes which allow for efficient phase space integration. In this context we propose a reweighting technique of the leading order unweighted events by local K-factors.

We study the cosmic density perturbations induced from fluctuation of the amplitude of late-decaying scalar condensations (called \phi) in the scenario where the scalar field \phi once dominates the universe. In such a scenario, the cosmic microwave background (CMB) radiation originates to decay products of the scalar condensation and hence its anisotropy is affected by the fluctuation of \phi. It is shown that the present cosmic density perturbations can be dominantly induced from the primordial fluctuation of \phi, not from the fluctuation of the inflaton field. This scenario may change constraints on the source of the density perturbations, like inflation. In addition, a correlated mixture of adiabatic and isocurvature perturbations may arise in such a scenario; possible signals in the CMB power spectrum are discussed. We also show that the simplest scenario of generating the cosmic density perturbations only from the primordial fluctuation of \phi (i.e., so-called ``curvaton'' scenario) is severely constrained by the current measurements of the CMB angular power spectrum if correlated mixture of the adiabatic and isocurvature perturbations are generated.

Assuming helicity independence for q-qbar scattering in the color-dipole picture, or, equivalently proportionality of sea quark and gluon distributions, we find R(W^2,Q^2) = 0.5 (approximately) at large Q^2, where R(W^2,Q^2) denotes the ratio of the longitudinal and transverse photoabsorption cross sections. The forthcoming direct measurements of R(W^2,Q^2) allow one to test the underlying hypotheses.

A general scheme for axion electrodynamics is given, in which a surrounding medium of constant permittivity and permeability is assumed. Then, as an application we give simple numerical estimates for the electromagnetic current density produced by the electrically neutral time-dependent axions $a=a(t)$ in a strong magnetic field. As is known, the assumption $a=a(t)$ is common under astrophysical conditions. In the third part of the paper, we consider the implications by assuming instead an axion amplitude $a(z)$ depending on one coordinate $z$ only. If such an axion field is contained within two large metal plates one obtains an axion-generated splitting of the eigenmodes for the dispersion relation. These modes yield equal, though opposite, contributions to the pressure on the plates. We calculate the magnitude of the splitting effect, in a simple one-dimensional model.

We investigate direct detection rates for Dark Matter candidates arise in a $SU(2)_L\times U(1)_Y$ with an additional doublet Higgs proposed by Barbieri, Hall and Rychkov. We refer this model as `Heavy Higgs Model'. The Standard Model Higgs mass comes out in this model very heavy adopting the few per cent chance that there is no Higgs boson mass below 200 GeV. The additional Higgs boson develops neither any VEV due to the choice of coefficient of the scalar potential of the model nor it has any coupling with fermions due to the incorporation of a discrete parity symmetry. Thus, the neutral components of the extra doublet are stable and can be considered as probable candidate of Cold Dark Matter. We have made calculations for three different types of Dark Matter experiments, namely, $^{76}$Ge (like GENIUS), DAMA (NaI) and XENON ($^{131}$Xe). Also demonstrated the annual variation of Dark Matter detection in case of all three detectors considered.

In this paper we solved the new evolution equation for high energy scattering amplitudethat stems from the Gribov-Zwanziger approach to the confinement of quarks and gluons. We found that (1) the energy dependence of the scattering amplitude turns out to be the same as for QCD BFKL evolution; (2) the spectrum of the new equation does not depend on the details of the Gribov-Zwanzinger approach and (3) all eigenfunctions coincide with the eigenfunctions of the QCD BFKL equation at large transverse momenta $\kappa\,\geq\,1$. The numerical calculations show that there exist no new eigenvalues with the eigenfunctions which decrease faster than solutions of the QCD BFKL equation at large transverse momenta. The structure of the gluon propagator in Gribov-Zwanziger approach, that stems from the lattice QCD and from the theoretical evaluation, results in the exponential suppression of the eigenfunctions at long distances and in the resolution of the difficulties, which the Colour Glass Condensate (CGC) and some other approaches, based on perturbative QCD, face at large impact parameters. We can conclude that the confinement of quark and gluons, at least in the form of Gribov-Zwanziger approach, does not influence on the scattering amplitude except solving the long standing theoretical problem of its behaviour at large impact parameters.
