Besides parameterizing deviations in terms of the dimension-8 operators that

in $W/Z$ scattering in terms of scalar and tensor resonance multiplets. The
high-energy asymptotics of all models is regulated by a universal unitarization

meaningfully evaluated off-shell and in exclusive event samples, and to
determine the sensitivity of an $e^+e^-$ collider to the model parameters. We
analyze the longitudinal vector boson scattering modes, where we optimize the

choose energy stages of 1.0, 1.4 and 3 TeV, as motivated by the extendability

respectively, where \Gamma is the muon-sneutrino width. Both the CP-violating

in this model explicit calculations of S-matrix elements between quark states,

and unitarity. In particular, it is shown that the S-matrix element for quark
scattering is renormalisable at one-loop order and is only logarithmically
non-renormalisable at two loops. The discrepancies in the ultraviolet regime

discussed in detail. Also, some of the similarities and differences between the

with gauge-kinetic mixing with the ordinary photon, so-called paraphotons. The
setup consists of two microwave cavities shielded from each other. In one
cavity, paraphotons are produced via photon-paraphoton oscillations. The
second, resonant, cavity is then driven by the paraphotons that permeate the
shielding and reconvert into photons. This setup resembles the classic ``light
shining through a wall'' setup. However, the high quality factors achievable
for microwave cavities and the good sensitivity of microwave detectors allow
for a projected sensitivity for photon-paraphoton mixing of the order of

] | We propose a cavity experiment to search for low mass extra U(1) gauge bosons with gauge-kinetic mixing with the ordinary photon, so-called paraphotons. The setup consists of two microwave cavities shielded from each other. In one cavity, paraphotons are produced via photon-paraphoton oscillations. The second, resonant, cavity is then driven by the paraphotons that permeate the shielding and reconvert into photons. This setup resembles the classic ``light shining through a wall'' setup. However, the high quality factors achievable for microwave cavities and the good sensitivity of microwave detectors allow for a projected sensitivity for photon-paraphoton mixing of the order of \chi~10^{-12} to 10^{-8}, for paraphotons with masses in the \mu eV to meV range -- exceeding the current laboratory- and astrophysics-based limits by several orders of magnitude. Therefore, this experiment bears significant discovery potential for hidden sector physics. |

measurements at ILC 500 GeV can fully explore the underlying structure of the

A possible model to explain the multiple point criticality principle is the lack of locality in quantum gravity and the effects of baby universes which, on general grounds, are expected to make coupling constants dynamical. |

high energy factorization at next-to-leading order in the strong coupling
within the framework of Lipatov's high energy effective action. We provide a
detailed discussion of both rapidity divergences related to the TMD definition
and its soft factor on the one hand, and rapidity divergences due to high
energy factorization on the other hand, and discuss common features and
differences between Collins-Soper (CS) and Balitsky-Fadin-Kuarev-Lipatov (BFKL)
evolution. While we confirm earlier results which state that the unpolarized
and linearly polarized gluon TMD agree in the BFKL limit at leading order, we
find that both distributions differ, once next-to-leading order corrections are
being included. Unlike previous results, our framework allows to recover the
complete anomalous dimension associated with Collins-Soper-Sterman (CSS)
evolution of the TMD distribution, including also single-logarithmic terms in
the CSS evolution. As an additional result we provide a definition of
$k_T$-factorization, i.e. matching of off-shell coefficients to collinear
factorization at next-to-leading order within high energy factorization and the
effective action framework. We furthermore establish a link between the QCD
operator definition of the TMD gluon distribution and a previously derived
off-shell TMD gluon-to-gluon splitting function, which is within the present
framework obtained as the real 1-loop correction.

single axion, the QCD axion, with an anomalous coupling to photons. Other light
axion-like particles can couple to photons by mixing through the QCD axion
portal and lie to the right of the QCD line in the mass-coupling plane. Axions
which break the unification relation between gluon and photon couplings are
necessarily charged under the GUT gauge group and become heavy from

D68 (2003) 043505 | 10.1103/PhysRevD.68.043505 | null | hep-ph astro-ph | null | We consider the possibility that a right-handed sneutrino can serve as the
source of energy density perturbations leading to structure formation in
cosmology. The cosmological evolution of a coherently oscillating condensate of
right-handed sneutrinos is studied for the case where reheating after inflation
is due to perturbative inflaton decays. For the case of Dirac neutrinos, it is
shown that some suppression of Planck scale-suppressed corrections to the
right-handed neutrino superpotential is necessary. cH^2 corrections to the
sneutrino mass squared term must also be suppressed during inflation (|c| <
0.1), in which case, depending on the magnitude of |c| during inflation, a
significantly blue (if c > 0) or red (if c < 0) perturbation spectrum is
possible. R-parity must also be broken in order to ensure that the Universe is
not overclosed by LSPs from the late decay (at temperatures 1-10 MeV) of the
right-handed sneutrino condensate. The resulting expansion rate during
inflation can be significantly smaller than in conventional supersymmetric
inflation models (as low as 10^6 GeV is possible). For the case of Majorana
neutrinos, a more severe suppression of Planck-suppressed superpotential
corrections is required. In addition, the Majorana sneutrino condensate is
likely to be thermalised before it can dominate the energy density, which would
exclude the Majorana right-handed sneutrino as a curvaton.

the unpolarized quark distribution and the quark Boer-Mulders distribution. We
observe that spin-orbit coupling leads to mixing between different TMDs of the
nucleus and of the nucleons. We then consider the evolution of TMDs: at
large-x, in the double-logarithmic approximation, we obtain the Sudakov form

by BK/JIMWLK evolution, while the small-x evolution of polarized-target quark
TMDs appears to be dominated by the QCD Reggeon.

Varying the self-energy Pi in this expression, it turns into a functional U[Y] having a maximum in function space at Y=Pi. There is also the Feynman-Jensen thermal variational principle V[S], a potentially non-perturbative tool. Here actions S are varied. It is shown, through a few formal but exact steps, that the functional U is covered by V. The corresponding special subset of trial actions is made explicit. |

couplings generically lead to the decay of the heavier dark matter component
into the lighter, possibly leading to observable signals of the otherwise
elusive FIMPs. Concretely, we argue that the loop induced decay
$\psi_2\rightarrow\psi_1\gamma$ for fermionic FIMPs, or
$\phi_2\rightarrow\phi_1\gamma\gamma$ for scalar FIMPs, could have detectable
rates for model parameters compatible with the observed dark matter abundance.

] | We consider a scenario where the dark sector includes two Feebly Interacting Massive Particles (FIMPs), with couplings to the Standard Model particles that allow their production in the Early Universe via thermal freeze-in. These couplings generically lead to the decay of the heavier dark matter component into the lighter, possibly leading to observable signals of the otherwise elusive FIMPs. Concretely, we argue that the loop induced decay $\psi_2\rightarrow\psi_1\gamma$ for fermionic FIMPs, or $\phi_2\rightarrow\phi_1\gamma\gamma$ for scalar FIMPs, could have detectable rates for model parameters compatible with the observed dark matter abundance. |

fitting to the available and up-to-date experimental data for the $\bar

new viable region of the inert doublet model featuring dark matter masses
between Mw and about 160 GeV. Along this previously overlooked region of the
parameter space, the correct relic density is obtained thanks to cancellations
between different diagrams contributing to dark matter annihilation into gauge

a central ingredient in the gauge-invariant Schwinger-Dyson equation that
determines the non-perturbative dynamics of the gluon propagator. This vertex
satisfies a Ward identity with respect to the background gluon, and a
Slavnov-Taylor identity with respect to the two quantum gluons. We present a
complete Ansatz for this vertex, which satisfies both aforementioned
identities. This entire construction depends crucially on a set of constraints
relating the various form-factors of the ghost Green's functions appearing in
the Slavnov-Taylor identity satisfied by the vertex. The validity of these
constraints is demonstrated to all orders.

] | The vertex connecting one background gluon with two quantum ones constitutes a central ingredient in the gauge-invariant Schwinger-Dyson equation that determines the non-perturbative dynamics of the gluon propagator. This vertex satisfies a Ward identity with respect to the background gluon, and a Slavnov-Taylor identity with respect to the two quantum gluons. We present a complete Ansatz for this vertex, which satisfies both aforementioned identities. This entire construction depends crucially on a set of constraints relating the various form-factors of the ghost Green's functions appearing in the Slavnov-Taylor identity satisfied by the vertex. The validity of these constraints is demonstrated to all orders. |

The charged lepton mass hierarchies are controlled by the spontaneous breaking
of the flavor symmetry. The light neutrino spectrum is predicted to be of

the reactor angle $\theta_{13}$ is expected to be of order $\lambda^2_c$ from

exhibits two interesting features, including a break around 0.9 TeV and a sharp

to both exotic features seen by DAMPE. In our model, dark matter annihilates in
the galaxy via two different channels that lead to both a narrow resonance
spectrum near 1.4 TeV and electron excess events over an extended energy range
thus generating the break structure around TeV. The two annihilation channels
are mediated by two gauge bosons that interact both with dark matter and with
the standard model fermions. Dark matter annihilations through the s-channel
process mediated by the heavier boson produce monoenergetic electron-positron
pairs leading to the resonance excess. The lighter boson has a mass smaller
than the dark matter such that they can be on-shell produced in dark matter
annihilations in the galaxy; the lighter bosons in the final state subsequently
decay to generate the extended excess events due to the smeared electron energy
spectrum in this process. We further analyze constraints from various
experiments, including HESS, Fermi, AMS, and LHC, to the parameter space of the
model where both excess events can be accounted for. In order to interpret the
two new features in the DAMPE data, dark matter annihilation cross sections in
the current galaxy are typically much larger than the canonical thermal cross
section needed for the correct dark matter relic abundance. This discrepancy,
however, is remedied by the nonperturbative Sommerfeld enhancement because of
the existence of a lighter mediator in the model.
