We show that the leading twist contribution to exclusive electroproduction of transversely polarized vector mesons vanishes at all orders in perturbation theory. Therefore one cannot extract information on the quark transversity distribution of the nucleon from this reaction. In turn one has that the produced vector meson is purely longitudinal in the large-Q^2 limit, which provides a new test of the dominance of leading twist at finite Q^2.

The signature at the LHC of many Beyond the Standard Model (BSM) scenarios is events with large missing energy. If the forward outgoing protons are measured, we show that the production and decay of BSM particles in the central rapidity interval, with gaps in rapidity either side, offers certain advantages over inclusive production, to search for signals (a) with missing longitudinal 4-momentum (typical of invisible Higgs production), and (b) for new light pseudoscalar bosons.

In the MSSM, cosmological scalar field condensates formed along flat directions of the scalar potential (Affleck-Dine condensates) are typically unstable with respect to formation of Q-balls, a type of non-topological soliton. We consider the dynamical evolution of the Affleck-Dine condensate in the MSSM. We discuss the creation and linear growth, in F- and D-term inflation models, of the quantum seed perturbations which in the non-linear regime catalyse the collapse of the condensate to non-topological soliton lumps. We study numerically the evolution of the collapsing condensate lumps and show that the solitons initially formed are not in general Q-balls, but Q-axitons, a pseudo-breather which can have very different properties from Q-balls of the same charge. We calculate the energy and charge radiated from a spherically symmetric condensate lump as it evolves into a Q-axiton. We also discuss the implications for baryogenesis and dark matter.

In this work, we study the $SU(2)_L$ singlet complex scalar extended KSVZ model that, in addition to providing a natural solution to the strong-CP problem by including a global Peccei-Quinn symmetry, also furnishes two components of dark matter that satisfy observer relic density without fine-tuning of model parameters. Furthermore, this model provides a rich phenomenology by introducing a vector-like quark whose presence can be sensed in collider experiments and dark matter production mechanisms. We explore the possibility of democratic Yukawa interaction of the vector-like quark with all up-type quarks and scalar dark matter candidate. We also employ next-to-leading order NLO-QCD correction for VLQ pair production to study a unique search at the LHC, generating a pair of boosted tops with sizeable missing transverse momentum. Multivariate analysis with jet substructure variables has a strong ability to explore a significant parameter space of this model at the 14 TeV LHC.

We derive an analytic expression for one-loop effective action of QCD+QED at zero and finite temperatures by using the Schwinger's proper time method. The result is a nonlinear effective action not only for electromagnetic and chromo-electromagnetic fields but also the Polyakov loop, and thus reproduces the Euler-Heisenberg action in QED, QCD, and QED+QCD, and also the Weiss potential for the Polyakov loop at finite temperature. As applications of this "Euler-Heisenberg-Weiss" action in QCD+QED, we investigate quark pair productions induced by QCD+QED fields at zero temperature and the Polyakov loop in the presence of strong electromagnetic fields. Quark one-loop contribution to the effective potential of the Polyakov loop explicitly breaks the center symmetry, and is found to be enhanced by the magnetic field, which is consistent with the inverse magnetic catalysis observed in lattice QCD simulation.

We complete the effective potential calculation of the two-loop, top/bottom Yukawa corrections to the Higgs boson masses in the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model, by computing the O(at^2 + at*ab + ab^2) contributions for arbitrary values of the bottom Yukawa coupling. We also compute the corrections to the minimization conditions of the effective potential at the same perturbative order. Our results extend the existing O(at^2) calculation, and are relevant in regions of the parameter space corresponding to tan(beta) >> 1. We extend to the Yukawa corrections a convenient renormalization scheme, previously proposed for the O(ab*as) corrections, that avoids unphysically large threshold effects associated with the bottom mass and absorbs the bulk of the corrections into the one-loop expression. For large values of tan(beta), the new contributions can account for a variation of several GeV in the lightest Higgs boson mass.

The H1 and ZEUS anomalous events are interpreted as being due to the production and the decay of excited leptons $E$, which correspond to spin 1/2 resonances of the first generation lepton doublet ($\nu_e, e$) with W triplet. This assumption is supported by considering of Bethe-Salpeter equation in the ladder approximation with anomalous triple gauge boson vertex. The solution with weak isospin $I = 3/2$ is shown to exist for zero mass state, that means M_E$ is small in comparison with TeV mass scale. The coupling of $E$ with leptons and $W$ is defined by the normalization condition. Calculation of the $E$ width and the production cross-sections agrees with HERA data for value of the triple $W$ coupling constant $\lambda \simeq 0.5$. Isotopic relations for different channels are presented as a tool for checking the interpretation.

We show that this measurement can be plausibly explained within the standard model under the assumption of large penguin contractions matrix elements and nominal U-spin breaking. A consistent picture arises, accommodating the large difference between the decay rates, and the measured decay rates of the D -> K pi modes.

The branching fraction for the decays of gluinos to third generation quarks is expected to be enhanced in classes of supersymmetric models where either third generation squarks are lighter than other squarks, or in mixed-higgsino dark matter models constructed to be in concordance with the measured density of cold dark matter. In such scenarios, gluino production events at the CERN Large Hadron Collider should be rich in top and bottom quark jets. Requiring b-jets in addition to missing transverse energy should, therefore, enhance the supersymmetry signal relative to Standard Model backgrounds from V + jet, VV and QCD backgrounds (V=W, Z). We quantify the increase in the supersymmetry reach of the LHC from b-tagging in a variety of well-motivated models of supersymmetry. We also explore ``top-tagging'' at the LHC. We find that while the efficiency for this turns out to be too low to give an increase in reach beyond that obtained via b-tagging, top-tagging can indeed provide a confirmatory signal if gluinos are not too heavy. Finally, we explore the prospects for detecting the direct production of third generation squarks in models with an inverted squark mass hierarchy. This is signalled by b-jets + missing transverse energy events harder than in the Standard Model, but softer than those from the production of gluinos and heavier squarks. We find that while these events can be readily separated from SM background (for third generation squark masses ~300-500 GeV), the contamination from the much heavier gluinos and squarks remains formidable if these are also accessible.

Based on the expectation generated by the discovery of new particles by current colliders, we analyze the decay of the Z' boson in the frame of one of the SU(3)L \otimes U(1)N electroweak extensions of the standard model. The main objective is calculate the decay rate of this exotic boson in the aforementioned model at the tree level. With this purpose we need to develop the gauge sector, where we find thirty-three interaction terms. Mentioned particle (Z') has not yet been observed experimentally, but a large number of models predict its existence. This boson exhibits a variety of decay channels, but we will concentrate on the bosonic sector, in particular in the new charged vector bosons V \pm and doubly charged U \pm\pm as final products, because these are special features of the model. On the other hand, we would like to remark that this model does not account for the Z' W W vertex although this decay channel is considered one of the main ways to detect the Z' boson in the Tevatron.

We study the $\gamma^\ast \Lambda \to \Sigma^0$ transition form factors by applying the covariant spectator quark model. Using the parametrization for the baryon core wave functions as well as for the pion cloud dressing obtained in a previous work, we calculate the dependence on the momentum transfer squared, $Q^2$, of the electromagnetic transition form factors. The magnetic form factor is dominated by the valence quark contributions. The final result for the transition magnetic moment, a combination of the quark core and pion cloud effects, turns out to give a value very close to the data. The pion cloud contribution, although small, pulls the final result towards the experimental value The final result, $\mu_{\Lambda\Sigma^0}= -1.486 \mu_N$, is about one and a half standard deviations from the central value in PDG, $\mu_{\Lambda\Sigma^0}= -1.61 \pm 0.08 \mu_N$. Thus, a modest improvement in the statistics of the experiment would permit the confirmation or rejection of the present result. It is also predicted that small but nonzero values for the electric form factor in the finite $Q^2$ region, as a consequence of the pion cloud dressing.

First, we analyze how these networks separately trace statistical and systematic uncertainties on the momenta of boosted top quarks forming fat jets. Next, we propose a novel calibration procedure by training on labels and their error bars. Again, the network cleanly separates the different uncertainties. As a technical side effect, we show how Bayesian networks can be extended to describe non-Gaussian features.

Dark matter is one of the most important open problems in particle physics and cosmology. Weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPs) appear as an appealing solution, providing the right relic density with a cross-section at the electroweak scale, however, no WIMP signals were observed until now. Secluded models are good alternatives to the standard ones. In this case, instead of a direct annihilation to the standard model (SM) particles, the dark matter annihilates into mediators which subsequently decay into SM particles. In this way, secluded models may avoid the stringent limits from direct searches, and, at the same time, be probed by indirect detection experiments. Motivated by the appearance of secluded dark matter in several model building endeavors, in this talk, we will present the sensitivity of several gamma-ray instruments (current and prospects), including Fermi-LAT, H.E.S.S., CTA, and SWGO, to secluded dark matter annihilations in the inner galactic halo, and in the dwarf spheroidal galaxies, covering a wide range dark matter masses, from tens of GeV to hundreds of TeV.

In this case, instead of a direct annihilation to the standard model (SM) particles, the dark matter annihilates into mediators which subsequently decay into SM particles. In this way, secluded models may avoid the stringent limits from direct searches, and, at the same time, be probed by indirect detection experiments. Motivated by the appearance of secluded dark matter in several model building endeavors, in this talk, we will present the sensitivity of several gamma-ray instruments (current and prospects), including Fermi-LAT, H.E.S.S., CTA, and SWGO, to secluded dark matter annihilations in the inner galactic halo, and in the dwarf spheroidal galaxies, covering a wide range dark matter masses, from tens of GeV to hundreds of TeV.

The object of this brief review is to reconcile different points of view on how the spin of proton is made up from its constituents. On the basis of naive quark model with flavour symmetry such as isospin or SU(3) one finds a static description. On the contrary the local SU(3) colour symmetry gives a dynamical view. Both these views are contrasted and the role of U(1) axial anomaly and the ambiguity for the measurable spin content is discussed.

Recent preliminary PHENIX data are consistent with a negative and sizable longitudinal double-spin asymmetry A_LL^pi for pi^0 production at moderate transverse momentum p_perp \simeq 1 - 4 GeV and central rapidity. By means of a systematic investigation of the relevant degrees of freedom we show that the perturbative QCD framework at leading power in p_perp produces at best a very small negative asymmetry in this kinematic range.

We study a ${N=1}$ supersymmetric model in a ${S}^{1}{\times R}^{3}$ spacetime. We find that by choosing appropriate boundary conditions for the contributing fields supersymmetry can be preserved. However if we add a hard supersymmetry breaking term, we observe that for small values of the length of the ${S}^{1}$ dimension, supersymmetry remains unbroken and breaks spontaneously when the length exceeds a critical value. The final picture resembles the first order phase transition picture.

We investigate the phenomenology of singlet scalar dark matter in a simple $B-L$ gauge extension of the Standard Model where the dark matter particle is charged under the $U(1)_{B-L}$ symmetry. The non-trivial gauge anomalies are cancelled with the introduction of three exotic fermions with $B-L$ charges as $-4,-4,5$, instead of right-handed neutrinos $\nu_{Ri}~(i=1,2,3)$ with $B-L=-1$ in conventional $U(1)_{B-L}$ model. Without the need of any ad-hoc discrete symmetry, the $B-L$ charge plays a crucial role in stabilizing the dark matter. We make a comprehensive study of dark matter phenomenology in the scalar and gauge portals separately. In the gauge-mediated regime, we invoke the LEP-II constraints and dilepton limits of ATLAS on the gauge parameters. A massless physical Goldstone plays a vital role in the scalar-portal dark matter observables, becomes a unique feature of the model. We show the mechanism of generating the light neutrino mass at one-loop level where the dark matter singlet runs in the loop. We shed light on the semi-annihilation and finally, we comment on indirect signals in this framework.

Family gauge boson production at the LHC is investigated according to a $U(3)$ family gauge model with twisted family number assignment. In the model we study, a family gauge boson with the lowest mass, $A_1^{\ 1}$, interacts only with the first generation leptons and the third generation quarks. (The family numbers are assigned, for example, as $(e_1, e_2, e_3)= (e^-, \mu^-, \tau^-)$ and $(d_1, d_2, d_3)=(b, d, s) $[or $(d_1, d_2, d_3)=(b, s, d)$]). In the model, the family gauge coupling constant is fixed by relating to the electroweak gauge coupling constant. Thus measurements of production cross sections and branching ratios of $A_1^{\ 1}$ clearly confirm or rule out the model. We calculate the cross sections of inclusive $A_1^{\ 1}$ production and $b \bar{b} \, (t \bar{t})$ associated $A_1^{\ 1}$ production at $\sqrt{s} = 14~\text{TeV}$ and $100~\text{TeV}$. With the dielectron production cross section, we discuss the determination of diagonalizing matrix of quark mass matrix, $U_{u}$ and $U_{d}$, respectively.

As in the Abbott-Farhi-model Higgs and W-boson are low lying bound states.

Motivated by the long-standing tension in the muon anomalous magnetic moment (AMM) and persistent observations of B-physics anomalies in $R_{D^{(\ast)}}$ and $R_{K^{(\ast)}}$ ratios, we construct a simple two-loop radiative neutrino mass model, and propose a combined explanations of all these apparently disjoint phenomena within this framework. Our proposed model consists of two scalar leptoquarks (LQs), a $SU(2)_L$ singlet $S_1\sim (\overline{3},1,1/3)$ and a $SU(2)_L$ triplet $S_3\sim (\overline{3},3,1/3)$ to accommodate $R_{D^{(\ast)}}$ and $R_{K^{(\ast)}}$ anomalies, respectively. The muon receives chirality-enhanced contribution towards its $g-2$ due to the presence of $S_1$ LQ that accounts for the observed deviation from the Standard Model prediction. Furthermore, we introduce a $SU(2)_L$ singlet scalar diquark $\omega\sim (\overline{6},1,2/3)$, which is necessary to break lepton number and generate neutrino mass radiatively with the aid of $S_1$ and $S_3$ LQs. We perform a detailed phenomenological analysis of this set-up and demonstrate its viability by providing benchmark points where a fit to the neutrino oscillation data together with proper explanations of the muon AMM puzzle and flavor anomalies are accomplished while simultaneously meeting all other flavor violation and collider bounds.

One way that an anthropic selection mechanism may be manifest in a physical theory involves multiple domains in the universe with different values of the physical parameters. If this mechanism is to be relevant for understanding the small observed value of the cosmological constant, it may involve a mechanism by which some contributions to the cosmological constant can be fixed at a continuous range of values in the different domains. I study the properties of four possible mechanisms, including the possibility of the Hubble damping of a scalar field with an extremely flat potential. Another interesting possibility involves fixed random values of non-dynamical form fields, and a cosmological mechanism is suggested. This case raises the possibility of anthropic selection of other parameters in addition. Further requirements needed for a consistent cosmology are discussed.

We investigate Bayesian and frequentist approaches to resonance searches using a toy model based on an ATLAS search for the Higgs boson in the diphoton channel. We draw pseudo-data from the background only model and background plus signal model at multiple luminosities, from $10^{-3}$/fb to $10^7$/fb. We chart the change in the Bayesian posterior of the background only model and the global p-value. We find that, as anticipated, the posterior converges to certainty about the model as luminosity increases. The p-value, on the other hand, randomly walks between 0 and 1 if the background only model is true, and otherwise converges to 0. After briefly commenting on the frequentist properties of the posterior, we make a direct comparison of the significances obtained in Bayesian and frequentist frameworks. We find that the well-known look-elsewhere effect reduces local significances by about 1$\sigma$. We furthermore find that significances from our Bayesian framework are typically about 1 to 2$\sigma$ smaller than the global significances, though the reduction depends on the prior, global significance and integrated luminosity. This suggests that even global significances could significantly overstate the evidence against the background only model. We checked that this effect --- the Bayes effect --- was robust with respect to fourteen choices of prior and investigated the Jeffreys-Lindley paradox for three of them.

The old and still not solved problem of dark atom solution for the puzzles of direct dark matter searches is related with rigorous prove of the existence of a low energy bound state in the dark atom interaction with nuclei. Such prove must involve a self-consistent account of the nuclear attraction and Coulomb repulsion in such interaction.

The old and still not solved problem of dark atom solution for the puzzles of direct dark matter searches is related with rigorous prove of the existence of a low energy bound state in the dark atom interaction with nuclei. Such prove must involve a self-consistent account of the nuclear attraction and Coulomb repulsion in such interaction. In the lack of usual small parameters of atomic physics like smallness of electromagnetic coupling of the electronic shell or smallness of the size of nucleus as compared with the radius of the Bohr orbit the rigorous study of this problem inevitably implies numerical simulation of dark atom interaction with nuclei. Our approach to such simulations of $OHe-$nucleus interaction involves multi-step approximation to the realistic picture by continuous addition to the initially classical picture of three point-like body problem essential quantum mechanical features.

In non-hadronic axion models, where axions couple to electrons at tree level, the solar axion flux is completely dominated by the ABC reactions (Atomic recombination and deexcitation, Bremsstrahlung and Compton). In this paper the ABC flux is computed from available libraries of monochromatic photon radiative opacities (OP, LEDCOP and OPAS) by exploiting the relations between axion and photon emission cross sections. These results turn to be ~ 30% larger than previous estimates due to atomic recombination (free-bound electron transitions) and deexcitation (bound-bound), which where not previously taken into account.

We consider the multiple point principle (MPP) of the Standard Model (SM) with the scalar singlet Dark Matter (DM) and three heavy right-handed neutrinos at the scale where the beta function $\beta_{\lambda}$ of the effective Higgs self coupling $\lambda_{\text{eff}}$ becomes zero. We make the two-loop analysis and find that the top quark mass $M_{t}$ and the Higgs portal coupling $\kappa$ are strongly related each other. One of the good points in this model is that the larger $M_{t}{1mm}(\gtrsim 171\text{GeV})$ is allowed. This fact is consistent with the recent experimental value \cite{ATLAS:2014wva} $M_{t}=173.34\pm0.76$ GeV, which corresponds to the DM mass $769{1mm}\text{GeV}\leq m_{\text{DM}}\leq 1053 {1mm}\text{GeV}$.

Performing three parameters fits in $\theta_{13}$, $\delta$ and, in turn, one of the atmospheric or solar parameters, we show that present uncertainties on $\theta_{23}$ and $\Delta m^2_{23}$ worsen significantly the precision on ($\theta_{13}$,$\delta$) whereas the solar sector does not introduce further uncertainties. A precision on the atmospheric parameters similar to what expected at T2K-I is necessary to improve the sensitivities to $\theta_{13}$ and $\delta$.

We address the challenging issue of how CP violation is realized in higher dimensional gauge theories without higher dimensional elementary scalar fields. In such theories interactions are basically governed by a gauge principle and therefore to get CP violating phases is a non-trivial task. It is demonstrated that CP violation is achieved as the result of compactification of extra dimensions, which is incompatible with the 4-dimensional CP transformation. As a simple example we adopt a 6-dimensional U(1) model compactified on a 2-dimensional orbifold $T^{2}/Z_{4}$. We argue that the 4-dimensional CP transformation is related to the complex structure of the extra space and show how the $Z_{4}$ orbifolding leads to CP violation. We confirm by explicit calculation of the interaction vertices that CP violating phases remain even after the re-phasing of relevant fields. For completeness, we derive a re-phasing invariant CP violating quantity, following a similar argument in the Kobayashi-Maskawa model which led to the Jarlskog parameter. As an example of a CP violating observable we briefly comment on the electric dipole moment of the electron.

The recent observation of global polarization of $\Lambda$ ($\bar{\Lambda}$) hyperons and spin alignment of $\phi$ and $K^{*0}$ vector mesons create remarkable interest in investigating the particle polarization in the relativistic fluid produced in heavy-ion collisions at GeV/TeV energies. Among other sources of polarization, the Debye mass of a medium plays a crucial role in particle polarization. Any modification brought to the effective mass due to the temperature, strong magnetic field (eB), baryonic chemical potential ($\mu_{B}$), and medium anisotropy ($\xi$), vorticity, etc., certainly affects the particle polarization. In this work, we explore the global hyperon polarization and the spin alignment of vector mesons corresponding to the strong magnetic field, baryonic chemical potential, and medium anisotropy. We find that the degree of polarization is flavor-dependent for hyperons. Meanwhile, vector meson spin alignment depends on the hadronization mechanisms of initially polarized quarks and anti-quarks. Medium anisotropy significantly changes the degree of polarization in comparison with the magnetic field and baryon chemical potential.

The measurements use a $98\pm 4$ pb^{-1} sample of $p \bar p$ collisions at $\sqrt{s}=1.8$ TeV collected by the CDF detector. Charged $B$ meson candidates are reconstructed through the decay $B^{\pm} \to J/\psi K^{\pm}$ with $J/\psi\to \mu^+ \mu^-$. The total cross section, measured in the central rapidity region $|y|<1.0$ for $p_T(B)>6.0$ GeV/$c$, is $3.6 \pm 0.6 ({\rm stat} \oplus {\rm syst)} \mu$b. The measured differential cross section is substantially larger than typical QCD predictions calculated to next-to-leading order.

We present technical details of the evaluation of the elastic pi-pi scattering amplitude to two loops in chiral perturbation theory. In particular, we elaborate on the renormalization procedure at the two-loop order and on the evaluation of the relevant Feynman diagrams that can all be expressed in terms of elementary functions. For the sake of clarity, we discuss these matters both in the N-component $\phi^4$ theory (in its symmetric phase) and in chiral perturbation theory. Estimates for the relevant low-energy constants of $O(p^6)$ are presented. Threshold parameters and phase shifts are then calculated for two sets of $O(p^4)$ coupling constants and compared with experiment. We comment on the extraction of threshold parameters from phase shift data.

Ultralight dark matter with neutrino couplings is investigated in light of the long-baseline neutrino oscillation data in T2K and NO$\nu$A experiments. The observed tension between T2K and NO$\nu$A is shown to be ameliorated when ultralight dark matter of either scalar or vector form is taken into consideration. The best result is achieved with scalar dark matter which can alleviate the tension by 2.0$\sigma$ CL with flavour-universal couplings. We also consider scalar dark matter with flavour-general couplings and vector dark matter in $L_e - L_\mu$ and $L_\mu - L_\tau$ cases. It is shown in all cases that the tension is relaxed by approximately 1.5$\sigma$-2.0$\sigma$ CL while the current experimental constraints can be evaded.

We compare our results with full Monte Carlo simulation using HERWIG. The importance of the hadronic component of the photon is also studied. We examine the possibility to distinguish among different parametrizations of the photon parton densities using charm production data, and the possibilty to extract information about the small-$x$ behaviour of the gluon density of the proton.

We explore the Higgs sector of the NMSSM in the limit when the Peccei--Quinn symmetry is exact or only slightly broken. In this case the Higgs spectrum has a hierarchical structure which is caused by the stability of the physical vacuum. We find a strong correlation between the parameters of the NMSSM if $\kappa=0$ or $\kappa\lesssim \lambda^2$. It allows one to distinguish the NMSSM with exact or softly broken PQ-symmetry from the MSSM even when extra scalar and pseudoscalar Higgs states escape direct detection.

This analysis includes the data from all available single inclusive electron-positron annihilation (SIA) processes and semi-inclusive deep-inelastic scattering (SIDIS) measurements for the unidentified light charged hadron productions. The SIDIS data which has been measured by the COMPASS experiment could allow the flavor dependence of the FFs to be well constrained. We exploit the analytic derivative of the Neural Network (NN) for fitting of FFs at next-to-leading-order (NLO) accuracy in the perturbative QCD (pQCD). The Monte Carlo method is implied for all sources of experimental uncertainties and the Parton distribution functions (PDFs) as well. Very good agreements are achieved between the SHK22.h FFs set and the most recent QCD fits available in literature, namely JAM20 and NNFF1.1h. In addition, we discuss the impact arising from the inclusion of SIDIS data on the extracted light-charged hadron FFs. The global QCD resulting at NLO for charged hadron FFs provides valuable insights for applications in present and future high-energy measurement of charged hadron final state processes.

We propose a collinear factorization formula for the associated production of one particle and a Drell-Yan pair in hadronic collisions. It is shown that additional collinear singularities appearing in the next-to-leading order calculations that can not be factorized into parton and fragmentation functions are systematically renormalized by introducing fracture functions. Next-to-leading order coefficient functions for cross-sections double differential in the fractional energy of the identified hadron and lepton pair invariant mass are presented.

We calculate isolated photon production at forward rapidities in proton-nucleus collisions in the Color Glass Condensate framework. Our calculation uses dipole cross sections solved from the running coupling Balitsky-Kovchegov equation with an initial condition fit to deep inelastic scattering data and extended to nuclei with an optical Glauber procedure that introduces no additional parameters beyond the basic nuclear geometry. We present predictions for future forward RHIC and LHC measurements. The predictions are also compared to updated results for the nuclear modification factors for pion production, Drell-Yan dileptons and $J/\psi$ mesons in the same forward kinematics, consistently calculated in the same theoretical framework. We find that leading order, running coupling high energy evolution in the CGC picture leads to a significant nuclear suppression at forward rapidities. This nuclear suppression is stronger for photons than for pions. We also discuss how this might change with next-to-leading order high energy evolution.

We discuss the modification of the properties of the tetraquark-like $T_{cc}(3875)^+$ and $T_{\bar c\bar c}(3875)^-$ states in dense nuclear matter. We consider the $T_{cc}^+$ and $T_{\bar c\bar c}^-$ in vacuum as purely isoscalar $D^{\ast} D$ and $\overline{D}{}^{\ast} \overline{D}$ $S$-wave bound states, respectively, dynamically generated from a heavy-quark effective interaction between the charmed mesons. We compute the $D$, $\overline{D}$, $D^*$, and $\overline{D}{}^{*}$ spectral functions embedded in a nuclear medium and use them to determine the corresponding $T_{cc}^+$ and $T_{\bar c\bar c}^-$ self energies and spectral functions. We find important modifications of the $D^{\ast} D$ and $\overline{D}{}^{\ast} \overline{D}$ scattering amplitudes and of the pole position of these exotic states already for $\rho_0/2$, with $\rho_0$ the normal nuclear density. We also discuss the dependence of these results on the $D^{\ast} D$ ($\overline{D}{}^{\ast} \overline{D}$) molecular component in the $T_{cc}^+$ ($T_{\bar c\bar c}^-$ ) wave-function. Owing to the different nature of the $D^{(*)}N$ and $\overline{D}{}^{(*)}N$ interactions, we find characteristic changes of the in-medium properties of the $T_{cc}(3875)^+$ and $T_{\bar c\bar c}(3875)^-$, which become increasingly visible as the density increases. The experimental confirmation of the found distinctive density-pattern will give support to the molecular picture of these tetraquark-like states, since in the case they were colourless compact quark structures the density behaviour of their respective nuclear medium spectral functions would likely be similar. Finally, we perform similar analyses for the isoscalar $J^P=1^+$ heavy-quark spin symmetry partners of the $T_{cc}^+$ ($T_{cc}^{*+}$) and the $T_{\bar c\bar c}^-$ ($T_{\bar c\bar c}^{*-}$) by considering the $D^{*0}D^{*+}$ and $\overline{D}{}^{*0} D^{*-}$ scattering $T-$matrices.

By globally analyzing nuclear Drell-Yan data including all incident energies, the nuclear effects of nPDFs and initial-state parton energy loss are investigated. Based on Landau-Pomeranchuk-Migdal (LPM) regime, the calculations are carried out by means of the analytic parametrizations of quenching weights derived from the Baier-Dokshitzer-Mueller-Peign$\acute{e}$-Schiff (BDMPS) formalism and using the new EPPS16 nPDFs. It is found that the results are in good agreement with the data and the role of the energy loss effect on the suppression of Drell-Yan ratios is prominent, especially for low-mass Drell-Yan measurements. The nuclear effects of nPDFs becomes more obvious with the nuclear mass number A, the same as the energy loss effect. By global fit, the transport coefficient extracted is $\hat{q}=0.26\pm0.04$ GeV$^{2}$/fm. In addition, to avoid diminishing the QCD NLO correction on the data form of Drell-Yan ratios, the separate calculations about the Compton differential cross section ratios $R_{Fe(W)/C}(x_{F})$ at 120GeV are performed, which provides a feasible way to better distinguish the gluon energy loss in Compton scattering. It is found that the role of the initial-state gluon energy loss on the suppression of Compton scattering rations is not very important and becomes disappear with the increase of $x_{F}$.

We present a model where neutrino masses are generated by a combination of spontaneous R-parity violation and Type III seesaw. In addition to the usual MSSM particle content, our model consists of one extra triplet matter chiral superfield containing heavy SU(2) triplet fermions and its superpartners. R-parity is broken spontaneously when the sneutrinos associated with the one heavy neutrino as well as the three light neutrinos get vacuum expectation values, giving rise to the mixed $8\times 8$ neutralino-neutrino mass matrix. We show that our model can comfortably explain all the existing neutrino oscillation data. Due to the presence of the triplet fermion, we have a pair of additional heavy charged leptons which mix with the standard model charged leptons and the charginos. This gives rise to a $6\times 6$ chargino-charged lepton mass matrix, with 6 massive eigenstates. Finally we discuss about the different R-parity violating possible decay modes and the distinctive collider signatures which our model offers.

We discuss the possibility to measure the sign of dm2_{31} from matter-induced charge asymmetries in atmospheric neutrino oscillations. The main conclusion is that an impact on the nu_mu survival probability requires the action of the MSW resonance, which becomes visible for baselines above \~7000 km.

We investigate numerical solution of the Dokshitzer-Gribov-Lipatov-Altarelli- Parisi (DGLAP) Q^2 evolution equation for the transversity distribution Delta_T q or the structure function h_1. The leading-order (LO) and next-to- leading-order (NLO) evolution equations are studied. The renormalization scheme is MS or overline{MS} in the NLO case. Dividing the variables x and Q^2 into small steps, we solve the integrodifferential equations by the Euler method in the variable Q^2 and by the Simpson method in the variable x. Numerical results indicate that accuracy is better than 1% in the region 10^{-5}<x<0.8 if more than fifty Q^2 steps and more than five hundred x steps are taken. We provide a FORTRAN program for the Q^2 evolution and devolution of the transversity distribution Delta_T q or h_1. Using the program, we show the LO and NLO evolution results of the valence-quark distribution Delta_T u_v + Delta_T d_v, the singlet distribution sum_i (Delta_T q_i + Delta_T qbar_i), and the flavor asymmetric distribution Delta_T ubar - Delta_T dbar.They are also compared with the longitudinal evolution results.

In this paper, we systematically study the algebraic structure of the ring of the flavor invariants and the sources of CP violation in the seesaw effective field theory (SEFT), which is obtained by integrating out heavy Majorana neutrinos in the type-I seesaw model at the tree level and thus includes the dimension-five Weinberg operator and one dimension-six operator. For the first time, we calculate the Hilbert series and explicitly construct all the primary flavor invariants in the SEFT. We show that all the physical parameters can be extracted using the primary invariants and any CP-violating observable can be expressed as the linear combination of CP-odd flavor invariants. The calculation of the Hilbert series shows that there is an equal number of primary flavor invariants in the SEFT and in the full seesaw model, which reveals the intimate connection between the flavor space of the SEFT and that of its ultraviolet theory. A proper matching procedure of the flavor invariants is accomplished between the SEFT and the full seesaw model, through which one can establish a direct link between the CP asymmetries in leptogenesis and those in low-energy neutrino oscillations.

The semi-constrained NMSSM (scNMSSM) extends the MSSM by a singlet field, and requires unification of the soft SUSY breaking terms in the squark and slepton sectors, while it allows that in the Higgs sector to be different. We try to interpret the muon g-2 in the scNMSSM, under the constraints of 125 GeV Higgs data, B physics, searches for low and high mass resonances, searches for SUSY particles at the LHC, dark matter relic density by WMAP/Planck, and direct searches for dark matter by LUX, XENON1T, and PandaX-II. We find that under the above constraints, the scNMSSM can still (i) satisfy muon g-2 at 1$\sigma$ level, with a light muon sneutrino and light chargino; (ii) predict a highly-singlet-dominated 95~GeV Higgs, with a diphoton rate as hinted at by CMS data, because of a light higgsino-like chargino and moderate $\lambda$; (iii) get low fine tuning from the GUT scale with small $\mu_{\rm eff},\, M_0,\, M_{1/2},\, {\rm and}\, A_0$, with a lighter stop mass which can be as low as about 500 GeV, which can be further checked in future studies with search results from the 13~TeV LHC; (iv) have the lightest neutralino be singlino-dominated or higgsino-dominated, while the bino and wino are heavier because of high gluino bounds at the LHC and universal gaugino conditions at the GUT scale; (v) satisfy all the above constraints, although it is not easy for the lightest neutralino, as the only dark matter candidate, to get enough relic density. Several ways to increase relic density are discussed.

We find that under the above constraints, the scNMSSM can still (i) satisfy muon g-2 at 1$\sigma$ level, with a light muon sneutrino and light chargino; (ii) predict a highly-singlet-dominated 95~GeV Higgs, with a diphoton rate as hinted at by CMS data, because of a light higgsino-like chargino and moderate $\lambda$; (iii) get low fine tuning from the GUT scale with small $\mu_{\rm eff},\, M_0,\, M_{1/2},\, {\rm and}\, A_0$, with a lighter stop mass which can be as low as about 500 GeV, which can be further checked in future studies with search results from the 13~TeV LHC; (iv) have the lightest neutralino be singlino-dominated or higgsino-dominated, while the bino and wino are heavier because of high gluino bounds at the LHC and universal gaugino conditions at the GUT scale; (v) satisfy all the above constraints, although it is not easy for the lightest neutralino, as the only dark matter candidate, to get enough relic density. Several ways to increase relic density are discussed.

In applications of machine learning to particle physics, a persistent challenge is how to go beyond discrimination to learn about the underlying physics. To this end, a powerful tool would be a framework for unsupervised learning, where the machine learns the intricate high-dimensional contours of the data upon which it is trained, without reference to pre-established labels. In order to approach such a complex task, an unsupervised network must be structured intelligently, based on a qualitative understanding of the data. In this paper, we scaffold the neural network's architecture around a leading-order model of the physics underlying the data. In addition to making unsupervised learning tractable, this design actually alleviates existing tensions between performance and interpretability. We call the framework JUNIPR: "Jets from UNsupervised Interpretable PRobabilistic models". In this approach, the set of particle momenta composing a jet are clustered into a binary tree that the neural network examines sequentially. Training is unsupervised and unrestricted: the network could decide that the data bears little correspondence to the chosen tree structure. However, when there is a correspondence, the network's output along the tree has a direct physical interpretation. JUNIPR models can perform discrimination tasks, through the statistically optimal likelihood-ratio test, and they permit visualizations of discrimination power at each branching in a jet's tree. Additionally, JUNIPR models provide a probability distribution from which events can be drawn, providing a data-driven Monte Carlo generator. As a third application, JUNIPR models can reweight events from one (e.g. simulated) data set to agree with distributions from another (e.g. experimental) data set.

The charged Higgs bosons can be produced as a resonance in s-channel single top events. The light charged Higgs in such events preferably decays to a pair of $\tau \nu$ thus making it difficult to distinguish from the large single W events producing the same final state. However, the heavy charged Higgs decay to a pair of $t \bar{b}$ can be extracted from the SM background events. The final state under consideration in this paper contains the top quark decay to $W^+ b$ followed by $W^+$ decay to electrons or muons. It is shown that this signal can be observed at LHC at a large area of MSSM phase space ($m(H^+), tan\beta$). Finally $5\sigma$ and 95% CL exclusion contours are presented at different integrated luminosities of LHC assuming a nominal center of mass energy of $\sqrt{s}$ = 14 TeV.

The two methods give compatible results in the limit $m_Q \to \infty$, with a rather large value of the coupling constant.

We present phenomenological study of the most minimal realistic $SU(5)$ model that owns its predictivity solely to the gauge symmetry and the representational content. The model is built entirely out of the fields residing in the first five lowest dimensional representations that transform non-trivially under the $SU(5)$ gauge group. It has eighteen real parameters and fourteen phases, all in all, to address experimental observables of the Standard Model fermions and accomplishes that via simultaneous use of three different mass generation mechanisms. Furthermore, it inextricably links the origin of the neutrino mass to the experimentally observed difference between the down-type quark and charged lepton masses. The main predictions of the model are that $(i)$ the neutrinos are Majorana particles, $(ii)$ one neutrino is massless, $(iii)$ the neutrinos have normal mass ordering, and $(iv)$ there are four new scalar multiplets at or below a $120$ TeV mass scale. A one-loop analysis demonstrates that an improvement of the current $p \rightarrow \pi^0 e^+$ partial lifetime limit by a factor of $2$, $15$, and $96$ would require these four scalar multiplets to reside at or below the $100$ TeV, $10$ TeV, and $1$ TeV mass scales, respectively.

The OPE treatment that has been so successful in describing inclusive $\bar B \to l \bar \nu X_c$ decays yields sum rules (in particular the Uraltsev sum rule and its higher moments) implying the dominance of the $P$ wave $j_q = 3/2$ charm states in $X_c$ over their $j_q=1/2$ counterparts. This prediction is supported by other general arguments as well as quark model calculations, which illustrate the OPE results, and by preliminary lattice findings. Its failure would indicate a significant limitation in our theoretical understanding of $\bar B \to l \bar \nu X_c$. Some experimental issues have been clarified since a preliminary version of this note had appeared, yet the verdict on the composition of the final states {\em beyond} $D$, $D^*$ and the two narrow $j_q = 3/2$ resonances remains unsettled. Establishing which hadronic configurations -- $D/D^* + \pi, D/D^* + 2 \pi, ...$ -- contribute, what their quantum numbers are and their mass distributions will require considerable experimental effort. We explain the theoretical issues involved and why a better understanding of them will be of significant value. Having significant contributions from a mass continuum distribution below 2.5 GeV raises serious theoretical questions for which we have no good answer. Two lists are given, one with measurements that need to be done and one with items of theoretical homework. Some of the latter can be done by employing existing theoretical tools, whereas others need new ideas.

We present an effective action for the electroweak sector of the Standard Model valid for the calculation of scattering amplitudes in the high energy (Regge) limit. Gauge invariant Wilson lines are introduced to describe reggeized degrees of freedom whose interactions are generated by effective emission vertices. From this approach previous results at leading logarithmic accuracy for electroweak boson Regge trajectories are reproduced together with the corresponding interaction kernels. The proposed framework lays the path for calculations at higher orders in perturbation theory.

We studied the interplay between the mass reach for electroweakinos at future hadron colliders and direct detection experiments. The lack of new phenomena at the LCH motivates us to focus on split supersymmetry scenarios with different electroweakino spectra. A 100 TeV hadron collider may reach masses up to 3 TeV in models of anomaly mediation with long-lived thermal Winos. Moreover, in scenarios where the lightest neutralino is not the only dark matter component, the interplay between collider searches and direct detection experiments might cover large part of the parameter space.

Recently HERMES has observed an azimuthal asymmetry in electro-production of neutral pions in semi-inclusive deep-inelastic scattering of unpolarized positrons off longitudinally polarized protons. This asymmetry (like those observed in the production of charged pions) is well reproduced theoretically by using the non-perturbative calculation of the proton transversity distribution in the effective chiral quark-soliton model combined with experimental DELPHI-data on the new T-odd Collins fragmentation function. There are no free, adjustable parameters in the analysis. Using the $z$-dependence of the HERMES azimuthal asymmetry and the calculated transversity distributions the z-dependence of the Collins fragmentation function is obtained. The value obtained from HERMES data is consistent with the DELPHI result, even though these results refer to different scales.

The Cabibbo-Cobayashi-Maskawa (CKM) matrix parametrizes the misalignement between the up- and down-quark mass basis in the Standard Model (SM). The observation of first row CKM unitarity violation has recently emerged as a new anomaly of the SM, known as the "Cabibbo Angle Anomaly" (CAA). With current measurements, comparing the elements $V_{ud}$ and $V_{us}$ extracted from beta and kaon decays respectively, the tension with the SM prediction amounts to $\sim$$3\,\sigma$. Recently, it has been pointed out that this anomaly can also be seen as a discrepancy in the determination of the Fermi constant from muon decay vs $\beta$ and K decays, once CKM unitarity is assumed. In fact, possible explanations in terms on New Physics fall under two broad classes: contributions to $\beta$ decay and/or to $\mu$ decay. In this proceedings, we discuss these solutions in terms of gauge invariant dimension 6 operators in SMEFT and simplified extensions of the Standard Model. The latter could introduce correlations with other anomalies in the SM, pointing to new and interesting directions for model building.

There are many theoretical reasons why heavy quasi-stable charged particles might exist. Pair production of such particles at the Tevatron can produce highly ionizing tracks (HITs) or fake muons. In gauge-mediated supersymmetry breaking, sparticle production can lead to events with a pair of quasi-stable sleptons, a significant fraction of which will have the same electric charge. Depending on the production mechanism and the decay chain, they may also be accompanied by additional energetic leptons. We study the relative importance of the resulting signals for the Tevatron Run II. The relative fraction of same-sign tracks to other background-free signals is an important diagnostic tool in gauge-mediated supersymmetry breaking that may provide information about mass splittings, tan(beta) and the number of messengers communicating supersymmetry breaking.

Given the most general Lorentz invariant four-fermion effective interaction possible for two neutrinos and two charged fermions, whether quarks or leptons, all possible 2-to-2 processes involving two neutrinos, whether Dirac or Majorana ones, and two charged fermions are considered. Explicit and convenient expressions are given for the associated differential cross-sections. Such a parametrization should help assess the sensitivity to physics beyond the Standard Model of neutrino beam experiments which are in the design stage at neutrino factories.

Some properties of the rho vector meson are calculated within the Nambu-Jona-Lasinio model, including processes that go beyond the random phase approximation. To classify the higher order contributions, we adopt $1/N_c$ as expansion parameter. In particular, we evaluate the leading order contributions to the $\rho \rightarrow \pi \pi$ decay width, obtaining the value $\Gamma = 118$ MeV, and to the shift of the rho mass which turns out to be lowered by 64 MeV with respect to its RPA value. A set of model parameters is determined accordingly.

We have just entered a new round in the testing of the flavour sector of the Standard Model through high-precision measurements of B-meson decays. A particularly exciting aspect is the exploration of the B_s-meson system at LHCb. We focus on two particularly promising probes of new physics which may give us first solid evidence for New Physics at the LHC: the strongly suppressed rare decay B_s^0 -> mu^+mu^- and CP-violating effects in the B_s^0 -> J/psi phi channel. We discuss recent theoretical developments related to these measurements and shall also sketch other highlights of the B-physics programme in the LHC era.

We argue that the mass of the inflaton can be much smaller than the Hubble constant in supergravity models in which inflation is driven by D--terms and not F--terms. We investigate a supergravity toy model which leads to hybrid inflation due to an anomalous D--term. We show that the slow--roll condition can be satisfied and the correct magnitude for density perturbations can be obtained for some choice of model parameters. The kind of model considered can naturally arise in some string derived supergravity models.

We discuss the impact of heavy neutrino-antineutrino oscillations (NNOs) on heavy neutral lepton (HNL) searches at proposed electron-positron colliders such as the future circular $e^+e^-$ collider (FCC-ee). During the $Z$ pole run, HNLs can be produced alongside a light neutrino or antineutrino that escapes detection and can decay into a charged lepton or antilepton together with an off-shell $W$ boson. In this case, signals of lepton number violation only show up in the final state distributions. We discuss how NNOs, a typical feature of collider-testable low-scale seesaw models where the heavy neutrinos form pseudo-Dirac pairs, modify such final state distributions. For example, the forward-backward asymmetry (FBA) of the reconstructed heavy (anti)neutrinos develops an oscillatory dependence on the HNL lifetime. We show that these oscillations can be resolvable for long-lived HNLs. We also discuss that when the NNOs are not resolvable, they can nevertheless significantly modify the theory predictions for FBAs and observables such as the ratio of the total number of HNL decays into $\ell^-$ over ones into $\ell^+$, in an interval of the angle~$\theta$ between the HNL and the beam axis. Our results show that NNOs should be included in collider simulations of HNLs at the FCCee.

We discuss the leading-logarithmic power corrections in the $N$-jettiness subtraction scheme for higher-order perturbative QCD calculations. We compute the next-to-leading order power corrections for an arbitrary $N$-jet process, and we explicitly calculate the power correction through next-to-next-to-leading order for color-singlet production for both $q\bar{q}$ and $gg$ initiated processes. Our results are compact and simple to implement numerically. Including the leading power correction in the $N$-jettiness subtraction scheme substantially improves its numerical efficiency. We discuss what features of our techniques extend to processes containing final-state jets.

We study the transverse momentum ($p_T$) spectra of neutral pions and identified charged hadrons produced in proton--proton ($pp$), deuteron--gold ($d$--Au), and gold--gold (Au--Au) collisions at the center of mass energy $\sqrt{s_{NN}}=200$ GeV. The study is made in the framework of a multi-source thermal model used in the partonic level. It is assumed that the contribution to the $p_T$-value of any hadron comes from two or three partons with an isotropic distribution of the azimuthal angle. The contribution of each parton to the $p_T$-value of a given hadron is assumed to obey any one of the standard (Maxwell-Boltzmann, Fermi-Dirac, and Bose-Einstein) distributions with the kinetic freeze-out temperature and average transverse flow velocity. The $p_T$-spectra of the final-state hadrons can be fitted by the superposition of two or three components. The results obtained from our Monte Carlo method are used to fit the experimental results of the PHENIX and STAR Collaborations. The results of present work serve as a suitable reference baseline for other experiments and simulation studies.

In this work, the two-photon-exchange (TPE) effects in $e^+e^- \rightarrow \pi^+ \pi^-$ at small $\sqrt{s}$ are discussed within a hadronic model. In the limit $m_e\rightarrow 0$, the TPE contribution to the amplitude can be described by one scalar function $\overline{c}_{1}^{(2\gamma)}$. The ratio between this function and the corresponding contribution in one-photon exchange $c_{1}^{(1\gamma)}$ reflects all the information of the TPE corrections. The numerical results on this ratio are presented and an artificial function is used to fit the numerical results. The latter can be used conveniently in the further experimental data analysis. The numerical results show the asymmetry of the differential cross sections in $e^+e^- \rightarrow \pi^+ \pi^-$ is about $-4\%$ at $\sqrt{s}\sim 0.7$ GeV.

We propose a novel and simple scenario to explain baryon asymmetry and dark matter (DM) by utilizing an early matter-dominated era (EMDE) caused by a heavy metastable particle. Within the EMDE, lack of pressure enhances the formation of primordial black holes (PBHs) which can then contribute to the relic abundance of DM. The eventual decay of heavy metastable particle that has baryon number and $CP$ violating interactions reheats the Universe and gives rise to baryon asymmetry. Since in this setup, PBH serves as a DM candidate, the particle physics model may not require new stable degrees of freedom which leads to more freedom in the model-building side. As an example, we show that a modulus field which dominates the energy density of the Universe prior to its decay, may explain both DM and baryon asymmetry in the Universe in the context of the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM) while the lightest superparticle is not stable and cannot be a DM candidate due to the R-parity violating interactions needed for baryogenesis.

We first compute the mass spectra of ground state pseudoscalar and vector light and heavy mesons and fix the model parameters necessary for the analysis, applying the variational principle with the trial wave function up to the first three lowest order harmonic oscillator (HO) wave functions $\Phi(x, \textbf{k}_\bot) = \sum_{n=1}^{3} c_n \phi_{nS}$. We then obtain the numerical results for the corresponding decay constants of light and heavy mesons. We estimate the DAs, analyze their variation as a function of momentum fraction and compute the first six $\xi$-moments of the $B$ and $D$ mesons as well.

There are strong indications for neutrino masses and mixings in the data on solar neutrinos as well as in the observed deficit of muon neutrinos from the atmosphere. The COBE data and other analysis of the large scale structure in the Universe also seems to require a hot component in the universe's dark matter, which can be interpreted as a massive neutrino with mass in the few eV range. Non-zero neutrino mass is a strong indication of a new local $B-L$ symmetry of electro-weak interactions . In particular, it is noted that the simplest picture based on the left-right symmetric unification with a high scale for the $B-L$ symmetry (as well as the scale of the right-handed gauge boson $W_R$) as required by the constraints of grandunification and present LEP data in a minimal $SO(10)$ model, can accomodate the solar neutrino data and a weak hot dark matter neutrino but not the atmospheric neutrino puzzle. A model with low scale $W_R$ ( in the TeV range) where the Dirac mass of the neutrino arises at the one loop level can also do the same job. The low $W_R$ picture can be tested in many rare decay experiments.

Recently it has been shown that one of the basic parameters of the neutrino sector, so called theta13 angle is very small, but quite probably non-zero. We argue that the small value of theta13 can still be reproduced easily by a wide spectrum of randomly generated models of neutrino masses. For that we consider real and complex neutrino mass matrices, also including sterile neutrinos. A qualitative difference between results for real and complex mass matrices in the region of small theta13 values is observed. We show that statistically the present experimental data prefers random models of neutrino masses with sterile neutrinos.

Besides the usual dimension-5 operator responsible for light neutrino masses, a dimension-6 operator is included which, for three or less heavy neutrino generations, provides a generic link between low-energy observables and all physical parameters of the high-energy seesaw Lagrangian. Leptogenesis can be then confirmed or ruled out through the measurement of neutrino masses and mixings and the exotic neutrino couplings originated from the dimension-6 operator.

Using a physical renormalisation scheme we derive mass-dependent renormalisation group equations for the running of the Higgs quartic coupling within the Standard Model. Subsequently, we accurately take into account weak scale thresholds, resulting in a reduction of the error in the determination of the maximum $M_t$ required for absolute stability of the vacuum to 0.28 GeV. For the first time, we conclusively establish the fate of the electroweak vacuum, finding that absolute stability of the Higgs vacuum state is excluded at 99.98% C.L. We also discuss the consequences when this new result is combined with the BICEP Collaboration's recent observation of B-mode polarisation in the cosmic microwave background, finding the Standard Model electroweak vacuum lifetime to be too short to have survived inflation. The implications for inflationary and new physics models are also discussed.

We costruct the relativistic operator of the quadrupole moment of two-particle composite spin one systems with zero orbital moment of the relative motion and derive explicit analytical expression for the quadrupole moment using the approach to relativistic composite systems based on our version of the instant-form relativistic quantum mechanics (RQM). We calculate the quadrupole moments of the rho meson and of the S-wave deuteron without any free parameters, using our unified pi&rho model (Phys. Rev.D 93, 036007 (2016); 97, 033007 (2018)) and our previous results on deuteron. Our calculation gives Q_rho=-0.158+-0.04 GeV^-2 and Q_d=-1.4*10^-4 GeV^-2. Having in our disposition the rather general form of the quadrupole-moment operator we for the first time formulate the problem of the upper and lower bounds for possible values of the quadrupole moment of a two-particle system with indicated quantum numbers for a large range of constituent masses, and partially solve it.

The applicability of the background field method in spontaneously broken gauge theories is examined with new features emphasized. An explicit one loop analysis in the electroweak theory shows that the method can be consistently implemented in the on-shell renormalization scheme, and that the choice of the background gauge cannot be arbitrary and must be fixed in the Landau gauge if one calculates scattering amplitudes involving unphysical Goldstone bosons. Some possible applications are also briefly indicated.

We construct a dual description of technicolor theory based on the D4/D8 brane configuration. A strongly-coupled technicolor theory is identified as the effective theory on D-branes, and from the gauge/gravity correspondence, we explore the weakly-coupled holographic description of dynamical electroweak symmetry breaking. It is found from the D-brane probe action that the masses of W and Z bosons are given by the decay constant of technipion, and the technimesons become hierarchically heavy. Moreover, the couplings of heavier modes to standard model fermions are rather suppressed. The oblique correction parameters are also evaluated and found to be small except for the S parameter, which can be reduced by modifying the model. The fermion fields are introduced at the intersections of D-branes and their masses are generated via massive gauge bosons from open strings stretching between D-branes.

The confirmation of charged charmonium-like states indiates that heavy quark molecules should exist. We here discuss the possibility of a molecule state with $J^{PC}=3^{-+}$. In a one-boson-exchange model investigation for the S wave $C=+$ $D^*\bar{D}_2^*$ states, one finds that the strongest attraction is in the case $J=3$ and $I=0$ for both $\pi$ and $\sigma$ exchanges. Numerical analysis indicates that this hadronic bound state might exist if a phenomenological cutoff parameter around 2.3 GeV (1.5 GeV) is reasonable with a dipole (monopole) type form factor in the one-pion-exchange model. The cutoff for binding solutions may be reduced to a smaller value once the $\sigma$ exchange contribution is included. If a state around the $D^*\bar{D}_2^*$ threshold ($\approx$4472 MeV) in the channel $J/\psi\omega$ (P wave) is observed, the heavy quark spin symmetry implies that it is not a $c\bar{c}$ meson and the $J^{PC}$ are likely to be $3^{-+}$.

Anomalies are an infrared effect, but are often realized in effective theories in a non-trivial way. We study the chiral anomaly in Soft Collinear Effective Theory (SCET), where the anomaly equation has terms contributing at different orders in the power expansion. The chiral anomaly equations in SCET are computed up to NNLO in the power counting with external collinear and/or ultrasoft gluons. We do this by expanding the QCD anomaly equation, using the tree level (LO in \alpha_s) relations between QCD and SCET fields. The validity of this correspondence between the anomaly equations is confirmed by direct computation of the one-loop diagrams in SCET.

The origin of neutrino masses remains unknown. Both the vacuum mass and the dark mass generated by the neutrino interactions with DM particles or fields can fit the current oscillation data. The dark mass squared is proportional to the DM number density and therefore varies on the galactic scale with much larger values around the Galactic Center. This affects the group velocity and the arrival time delay of core-collapse supernovae neutrinos. This time delay, especially for the $\nu_e$ neutronization peak with a sharp time structure, can be used to distinguish the vacuum and dark neutrino masses. For illustration, we explore the potential of DUNE which is sensitive to $\nu_e$. Our simulations show that DUNE can distinguish the two neutrino mass origins at more than $5\sigma\,$C.L., depending on the observed local value of neutrino mass, the neutrino mass ordering, the DM density profile, and the SN location.

We study three variants of this mass model: the first one without additional beyond-SM symmetry, the second with imposed DM-stabilizing discrete Z_2 symmetry, and the third in which this Z_2 symmetry is promoted to the gauge symmetry U(1)_D. The two latter cases are scotogenic, with a neutral component of the scalar triplet as a dark matter candidate. In first scotogenic model the Z_2-odd dark matter candidate is at the multi-TeV mass scale, so that all new degrees of freedom are beyond the direct reach of the LHC. In second scotogenic setup, with broken U(1)_D symmetry the model may have LHC signatures or be relevant to astrophysical observations, depending on the scale of U(1)_D breaking.

We provide the first complete analysis of cosmological evolution in the Randall-Sundrum model with stabilized dilaton. We give the exact expansion law for matter densities on the two branes with arbitrary equations of state. The effective four-dimensional theory leads to standard cosmology at low energy. The limit of validity of the low energy theory and possible deviations from the ordinary expansion law in the high energy regime are finally discussed.

We discuss the effective theory appropriate for studying soft leptogenesis at temperatures T>10^7 GeV. In this regime, the main source of the B-L asymmetry is the CP asymmetry of a new anomalous R-charge that couple to generalized anomalous electroweak processes. Baryogenesis thus occurs mainly through R-genesis, and with an efficiency that can be up to two orders of magnitude larger than in usual estimates. Contrary to common belief, a sizeable baryon asymmetry is generated also when thermal corrections to the CP asymmetries in sneutrino decays are neglected which, in soft leptogenesis, implyes vanishing lepton-flavour CP asymmetries. We present general Boltzmann equations for soft leptogenesis that are valid in all temperature regimes.
