It has been argued recently that parton showers based on colour dipoles conflict with collinear factorization and do not lead to the correct DGLAP equation. We show that this conclusion is based on an inappropriate assumption, namely the choice of the gluon energy as evolution variable. We further show numerically that Monte Carlo programs based on dipole showers with "infrared sensible" evolution variables reproduce the DGLAP equation both in asymptotic form as well as in comparison to the leading behaviour of second-order QCD matrix elements.

Production of heavy quark antiquark systems in high energy heavy ion collisions must involve relativistic momentum components in a quantum mechanical approach. If the color forces are screened in a deconfining medium, one can define the analog of a formation or separation time by an overlap integral in the nonrelativistic bound state rest frame. This time parameter has some interesting properties which depend on the momentum spectrum of the initial quarks. Consequences of these properties for the phenomenology of deconfinement signals are discussed.

The Fermion flavor structure is investigated by bilinear decomposition of the mass matrix after EW symmetry breaking, and the roles of factorized matrices in flavor mixing and mass generation are explored. It is shown that flavor mixing can be addressed as an independent issue. On a new Yukawa basis, the minimal parameterization of flavor mixing is realized containing two relative phases and two free $SO(2)_L$ rotation angles. The validity of the flavor mixing structure is checked in both the lepton and quark sectors. Under the decomposition of flavor mixing, fermion mass matrices are reconstructed under the hierarchy limit. A flat mass matrix with all elements equal to 1 arises naturally from the requirement that homology exists between up-type and down-type fermion mass matrices. Some hints of a flat matrix and flavor breaking are also discussed.

The near threshold $\pi^- p \to \eta n$ reaction is studied within an effective Lagrangian approach and the isobar model. By considering the contributions from $s$- and $u$-channel nucleon pole and $N^{*}(1535)$ resonance, the total and differential cross sections of the $\pi^- p \to \eta n$ reaction near threshold are calculated. Our theoretical results can fairly reproduce the current experimental data. It is also shown that while the center-of-mass energy lies in the range from the reaction threshold up to $1.65$ GeV, $s$-channel $N^{*}(1535)$ resonance plays the dominant role. The effect from nucleon pole is found to be small but the interference terms between the $N^*(1535)$ resonance and the nucleon pole are significant. The contributions from $t$-channel processes are negligible in the present calculation.

We will gain unprecedented, high-accuracy insights into the internal structure of the atomic nucleus thanks to lepton-hadron collision studies in the coming years at the Electron-Ion-Collider (EIC) in the United States. A good control of radiative corrections is necessary for the EIC to be fully exploited and to extract valuable information from various measurements. We present our extension of photoproduction at fixed order in MadGraph5_aMC@NLO, a widely used framework for (next-to-)leading order calculations at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). It applies to electron-hadron collisions, in which the quasi-real photon comes from an electron as well as to proton-nucleus and nucleus-nucleus collisions.

We find using the minimal left-right symmetric model that the presence of leptonic CP violation can radiatively generate a strong CP phase at the one-loop level itself, which can be beyond the current bounds established by the neutron electic dipole moment experiments. If there are no axions or unnatural cancellations, this leads to the testable prediction that leptonic CP violation must be negligibly small (Dirac phase $\delta_{CP} = 0$ or $\pi$), in a wide and interesting region of parameter space.

Inspired by the recent hints of lepton flavor universality violation in $b\to s\ell\ell$ and $b\to c\ell\nu$ transitions, we study lepton flavor violating exclusive $\Lambda_b\to\Lambda\ell_1^+\ell_2^-$ ($\ell_1\neq \ell_2$) decay, which is forbidden in the Standard Model. Starting from a general effective Hamiltonian for a $b\to s\ell_1^+\ell_2^-$ transition that includes vector and axial-vector operators, and scalar and pseudo-scalar operators, we derive a two-fold decay distribution of $\Lambda_b\to\Lambda\ell_1^+\ell_2^-$. The distribution helps us to construct the differential branching ratio and the lepton side forward-backward asymmetry, which are studied in a vector leptoquark model. The parameter space of the vector leptoquark model is constrained by low energy observables.

We give a status report on the automation of next-to-leading order processes within the Monte Carlo event generator WHIZARD, using GoSam and OpenLoops as provider for one-loop matrix elements. To deal with divergences, WHIZARD uses automated FKS subtraction, and the phase space for singular regions is generated automatically. NLO examples for both scattering and decay processes with a focus on e+e- processes are shown. Also, first NLO-studies of observables for collisions of polarized leptons beams, e.g. at the ILC, will be presented. Furthermore, the automatic matching of the fixed-order NLO amplitudes with emissions from the parton shower within the POWHEG formalism inside WHIZARD will be discussed. We also present results for top pairs at threshold in lepton collisions, including matching between a resummed threshold calculation and fixed-order NLO. This allows the investigation of more exclusive differential observables.

In the present work, the partial decay widths of $P_{c}(4312)$ to $\eta_{c} p$ and $J/\psi p$ are investigated with the QCD sum rule method under the assumption that $P_{c}(4312)$ is a $\bar{D}\Sigma_{c}$ molecular state with $J^{P}=\frac{1}{2}^{-}$. In the analysis, the pole residue of $P_{c}(4312)$, one of the input parameters for the calculations of the strong decay constants, is calculated first. With the numerical values of the strong decay constants, the partial decay widths to $\eta_{c} p$ and $J/\psi p$ are estimated to be $\Gamma(P_{c}(4312)\rightarrow \eta_{c} p)=5.54^{+0.75}_{-0.5}\mbox{MeV}$ and $\Gamma(P_{c}(4312)\rightarrow J/\psi p)=1.67^{+0.92}_{-0.56}\mbox{MeV}$, respectively, which are compatible with the measured total width of $P_{c}(4312)$. The results suggest that it is reasonable to assign $P_{c}(4312)$ to be a $\bar{D}\Sigma_{c}$ molecular state with $J^{P}=\frac{1}{2}^{-}$.

We discuss in detail the dependence of the Gallium Anomaly on the detection cross section. We provide updated values of the size of the Gallium Anomaly and find that its significance is larger than about $5\sigma$ for all the detection cross section models. We discuss the dependence of the Gallium Anomaly on the assumed value of the half life of ${}^{71}\text{Ge}$, which determines the cross sections of the transitions from the ground state of ${}^{71}\text{Ga}$ to the ground state of ${}^{71}\text{Ge}$. We show that a value of the ${}^{71}\text{Ge}$ half life which is larger than the standard one can reduce or even solve the Gallium Anomaly. Considering the short-baseline neutrino oscillation interpretation of the Gallium Anomaly, we show that a value of the ${}^{71}\text{Ge}$ half life which is larger than the standard one can reduce the tension with the results of other experiments. Since the standard value of the ${}^{71}\text{Ge}$ half life was measured in 1985, we advocate the importance of new measurements with modern technique and apparatus for a better assessment of the Gallium Anomaly.

We consider the K^0 - \bar K^0 and B^0 - \bar B^0 mixings in the MSSM with the two-Higgs-doublet scalar sector featuring explicit CP violation, and the Yukawa sector of type II. In the case of strong mixing between CP-odd and CP-even states the existence of light charged Higgs is allowed in the model. The mass splitting \Delta m_{LS} and the amount of indirect CP violation \epsilon are calculated. In the limit of effective low-energy approximation the nonstandard effects are shown to be negligibly small in \Delta m_{LS} and \epsilon for the K^0-mesons, being almost independent on the charged Higgs boson mass. However, for the B_d^0 - \bar B_d^0 and B_s^0 - \bar B_s^0 systems the effects of nonstandard physics are shown to be larger, limiting the MSSM parameter space.

We use the method of the color effective Hamiltonian to study the structure of color singlet chain states in $N_c=3$ and in the large $N_c$ limit. In order to obtain their total fraction when $N_c$ is finite, we illustrate how to orthogonalize these non-orthogonal states. We give numerical results for the fraction of orthogonalized states in $e^+e^-\to q\bar{q}gg$. With the help of a diagram technique, we derive their fraction up to $O(1/N_c^2)$ for the general multigluon process. For large $N_c$ the singlet chain states correspond to well-defined color topologies. Therefore we may expect that the fraction of non-color-singlet-chain states is an estimate of the fraction of events where color reconnection is possible. In the case of soft gluon bremsstrahlung, we give an explicit form for the color effective Hamiltonian which leads to the dipole cascade formulation for parton showering in leading order in $N_c$. The next-to-leading order corrections are also given for $e^+e^-\to q\bar{q}g_1g_2$ and $e^+e^-\to q\bar{q}g_1g_2g_3$.

We use the method of the color effective Hamiltonian to study the structure of color singlet chain states in $N_c=3$ and in the large $N_c$ limit. In order to obtain their total fraction when $N_c$ is finite, we illustrate how to orthogonalize these non-orthogonal states. We give numerical results for the fraction of orthogonalized states in $e^+e^-\to q\bar{q}gg$. With the help of a diagram technique, we derive their fraction up to $O(1/N_c^2)$ for the general multigluon process. For large $N_c$ the singlet chain states correspond to well-defined color topologies. Therefore we may expect that the fraction of non-color-singlet-chain states is an estimate of the fraction of events where color reconnection is possible. In the case of soft gluon bremsstrahlung, we give an explicit form for the color effective Hamiltonian which leads to the dipole cascade formulation for parton showering in leading order in $N_c$. The next-to-leading order corrections are also given for $e^+e^-\to q\bar{q}g_1g_2$ and $e^+e^-\to q\bar{q}g_1g_2g_3$.

Thus, the observation of these processes in the ongoing or upcoming experiments will rule out the models.

We explore the connection between Dark Matter and neutrinos in a model inspired by radiative Type-II seessaw and scotogenic scenarios. In our model, we introduce new electroweakly charged states (scalars and a vector-like fermion) and impose a discrete $\mathbb{Z}_2$ symmetry. Neutrino masses are generated at the loop level and the lightest $\mathbb{Z}_2$-odd neutral particle is stable and it can play the role of a Dark Matter candidate. We perform a numerical analysis of the model showing that neutrino masses and flavour structure can be reproduced in addition to the correct dark matter density, with viable DM masses from 700 GeV to 30 TeV. We explore direct and indirect detection signatures and show interesting detection prospects by CTA, Darwin and KM3Net and highlight the complementarity between these observables.

In this work we use two different but complementary approaches in order to study the ghost propagator of a pure SU(3) Yang-Mills theory quantized in the linear covariant gauges, focusing on its dependence on the gauge-fixing parameter $\xi$ in the deep infrared. In particular, we first solve the Schwinger-Dyson equation that governs the dynamics of the ghost propagator, using a set of simplifying approximations, and under the crucial assumption that the gluon propagators for $\xi>0$ are infrared finite, as is the case in the Landau gauge $(\xi=0)$. Then we appeal to the Nielsen identities, and express the derivative of the ghost propagator with respect to $\xi$ in terms of certain auxiliary Green's functions, which are subsequently computed under the same assumptions as before. Within both formalisms we find that for $\xi>0$ the ghost dressing function approaches zero in the deep infrared, in sharp contrast to what happens in the Landau gauge, where it known to saturate at a finite (non-vanishing) value. The Nielsen identities are then extended to the case of the gluon propagator, and the $\xi$-dependence of the corresponding gluon masses is derived using as input the results obtained in the previous steps. The result turns out to be logarithmically divergent in the deep infrared; the compatibility of this behavior with the basic assumption of a finite gluon propagator is discussed, and a specific Ansatz is put forth, which readily reconciles both features.

The resonance $D_{sJ}(2632)$ observed by SELEX, has attracted great interests and meanwhile brought up serious dispute. Its spin-parity, so far has not finally determined and if it exists, its quark-structure might be exotic. Following the previous literature where $D_{sJ}(2632)$ is assumed to be a radial-excited state of $1^-$, we consider the possibilities that it might be a $q\bar q$ ground state of $2^+$ or the first radial-excited state of $0^+$ $D_{sJ}(2317)$ and re-calculate its strong decay widths in terms of the Bethe-Salpeter equation. Our results indicate that there still is a sharp discrepancy between the theoretical evaluation and data.

We present a simple scheme of mixing of four neutrinos that can accommodate the results of all neutrino oscillation experiments, the observed abundances of primordial elements and the current upper bound for the effective Majorana neutrino mass in neutrinoless double-beta decay (assuming that massive neutrinos are Majorana particles). The scheme has maximal mixing in the nu_mu,nu_tau-nu_3,nu_4 sector and small mixings in the nu_e,nu_s-nu_1,nu_2 and nu_e,nu_mu-nu_1,nu_3 (or nu_e,nu_mu-nu_1,nu_4) sectors (MS^2). We discuss the implications of this scheme for short and long baseline oscillation experiments and for neutrinoless double-beta decay and tritium beta-decay experiments.

Using the form factors entered to the low energy matrix elements, calculated via light cone QCD in full theory, we calculate the total decay width and branching ratio of this decay channel. We compare the results of the extra dimensional models with those of the standard model on the considered physical quantities and look for the deviations of the results from the standard model predictions at different values of the compactification scale (1/R).

The chirality imbalance in QCD is spontaneously induced by a repulsive axial-vector interaction from the instanton anti-instanton pairing at high temperature above the chiral phase transition, and vanishes at low temperature. The chiral chemical potential $\mu_5$ is in the same magnitude as estimated from the sphaleron transition. Phase transition of the chirality imbalance is always a first-order one in the early universe with $\mathcal {P}$ and $\mathcal {CP}$ violation. The spectra of gravitational waves and the formation of the primordial black holes from this first-order phase transition is investigated in this work, and the effect of a strong magnetic field is also analyzed. The gravitational waves produced by chirality imbalance can be detected by LISA, Taiji and DECIGO, with the peak energy density locating in the range of $10^{-11}$ to $10^{-9}$ and the peak frequencies lying in the range of $10^{-5}$ Hz to $10^{-2}$ Hz. The spectrum with larger axial vector coupling strength and stronger magnetic field has higher peak energy density and lower peak frequency. According to this trend, the gravitational waves spectra might also be able to be detected by SKA, IPTA and EPTA. The Phase transition inverse duration $\beta/H_*$ calculated from the bounce solution is in the order of $10^4$, which is much higher than typical value $10-100$ from electroweak phase transitions. Based on the mechanism of postponement of the false vacuum decay, it is found that the formation of the primordial black hole is not favored because the phase transition completes in an extreme short time due to the large value of $\beta/H_*$ and thus the false vacuum energy density decays sharply.

In fact, 3 closely related models fit the bill: MDSM_1, MDSM_2 and MDSM_3. We analyze the theoretical and observational constraints on these models. We argue that, when they are minimally coupled to gravity, they can accomplish several important cosmological tasks (inflation, dark matter, leptogenesis) in a way that is economical, predictive and tightly woven into the fabric of known physics. One of the models (MDSM_3), which includes an extra U(1)_{B-L} gauge symmetry, seems particularly promising.

It is shown that the differential kinematic distributions such as photon transverse momentum and invariant mass of Higgs+$\gamma$ in Higgs associated production are powerful variables to explore the coefficients of dimension six operators. The analysis is performed in the decay channel of Higgs boson into a $b\bar{b}$ pair including the main sources of background processes and a realistic simulation of the detector effects. We provide constraints at $95\%$ confidence level on the Wilson coefficients of dimension-six operators affecting Higgs boson plus a photon production. We show to what extent these limits could be improved at the high luminosity LHC. The effect of these constraints on a well-motivated beyond standard model scenario is presented.

In the minimal supersymmetric extension of the Standard Model (MSSM), if the two Higgs doublets are lighter than some subset of the superpartners of the Standard Model particles, then it is possible to integrate out the heavy states to obtain an effective broken-supersymmetric low-energy Lagrangian. This Lagrangian can contain dimension-four gauge invariant Higgs interactions that violate supersymmetry (SUSY). The "wrong-Higgs" Yukawa couplings generated by one-loop radiative corrections are a well known example of this phenomenon. In this paper, we examine gauge invariant gaugino--higgsino--Higgs boson interactions that violate supersymmetry. Such wrong-Higgs gaugino couplings can be generated in models of gauge-mediated SUSY-breaking in which some of the messenger fields couple to the MSSM Higgs bosons. In regions of parameter space where the messenger scale is low and tan(beta) is large, these hard SUSY-breaking operators yield tan(beta)-enhanced corrections to tree-level supersymmetric relations in the chargino and neutralino sectors that can be as large as 20%. We demonstrate how physical observables in the chargino sector can be used to isolate the tan(beta)-enhanced effects derived from the wrong-Higgs gaugino operators.

In the minimal supersymmetric extension of the Standard Model (MSSM), if the two Higgs doublets are lighter than some subset of the superpartners of the Standard Model particles, then it is possible to integrate out the heavy states to obtain an effective broken-supersymmetric low-energy Lagrangian. This Lagrangian can contain dimension-four gauge invariant Higgs interactions that violate supersymmetry (SUSY). The "wrong-Higgs" Yukawa couplings generated by one-loop radiative corrections are a well known example of this phenomenon. In this paper, we examine gauge invariant gaugino--higgsino--Higgs boson interactions that violate supersymmetry. Such wrong-Higgs gaugino couplings can be generated in models of gauge-mediated SUSY-breaking in which some of the messenger fields couple to the MSSM Higgs bosons. In regions of parameter space where the messenger scale is low and tan(beta) is large, these hard SUSY-breaking operators yield tan(beta)-enhanced corrections to tree-level supersymmetric relations in the chargino and neutralino sectors that can be as large as 20%. We demonstrate how physical observables in the chargino sector can be used to isolate the tan(beta)-enhanced effects derived from the wrong-Higgs gaugino operators.

The NRQCD factorization formalism of Bodwin, Braaten, and Lepage prescribes how to write quarkonium production rates as a sum of products of short-distance coefficients times non-perturbative long-distance NRQCD matrix elements. We present, in the true spirit of the factorization formalism, a detailed calculation of the inclusive cross section for hadronic $\psi$ production. We find that in addition to the well known {\it color-singlet} production mechanisms, there are equally important mechanisms in which the $c\bar{c}$ pair that forms the $\psi$ is initially produced in a {\it color-octet} state, in either a ${}^3S_1$, ${}^1S_0$, ${}^3P_0$ or ${}^3P_2$ angular-momentum configuration. In our presentation, we emphasize the ``matching'' procedure, which %is the method that allows us to determine the short-distance coefficients appearing in the factorization formula. We also point out how one may systematically include relativistic corrections in these calculations.

We analyze the longitudinal-transverse double-spin asymmetry in lepton-nucleon collisions where a single hadron is detected in the final state, i.e., $\vec{\ell}\,N^\uparrow \rightarrow h\,X$. This is a subleading-twist observable in collinear factorization, and we look at twist-3 effects in both the transversely polarized nucleon and the unpolarized outgoing hadron. Results are anticipated for this asymmetry from both HERMES and Jefferson Lab Hall A, and it could be measured as well at COMPASS and a future Electron-Ion Collider. We also perform a numerical study of the distribution term, which, when compared to upcoming experimental results, could allow one to learn about the "worm-gear"-type function $\tilde{g}(x)$ as well as assess the role of quark-gluon-quark correlations in the initial-state nucleon and twist-3 effects in the fragmenting unpolarized hadron.

When the Planck scale is as low as TeV scale, there will be chances to produce Black holes (BH's) at future colliders. Generally, BH's produced via pariticle collisions could have non-zero angular momentum. We estimate the production cross section of spinning and non-spinning BH's for future colliders. Although the production cross section for the rotating BH is much suppressed by angular momentum dependent factor, the total cross section could be $\sim 2 -3$ times enhanced for the case of $\delta =4-6$.

This study investigates the nature of the $X_0(2900)$ and $\chi_{c0}(3930)$ based on experimental results of the process $B^+$$\to$$D^+ D^- K^+$. We focus on the S-wave $D^{*-}K^{*+}$ and $D_s^+D_s^-$ molecular states, which can be related to the $X_0(2900)$ and $\chi_{c0}(3930)$, respectively. Using effective Lagrangians, we construct the potential kernel of the $D^{*-}K^{*+}$$-$$D^{-}K^{+}$ and $D_s^+D_s^-$$-$$D^+D^-$ interactions with a one-boson-exchange model, and determine the scattering amplitudes and their poles through a quasipotential Bethe-Salpeter equation approach. By incorporating the potential kernel into the three-body decay process $B^+$$\to$$D^+ D^- K^+$, we evaluate the $D^-K^+$ and $D^+D^-$ invariant mass spectra, as well as the Dalitz plot, with Monte Carlo simulation. A satisfactory fit to the $D^-K^+$ and $D^+D^-$ invariant mass spectra is achieved after introducing additional Breit-Wigner resonances, the $X_1(2900)$, $\psi(3770)$, and $\chi_{c2}(3930)$ states. Prominent signals of the $X_0(2900)$ and $\chi_{c0}(3930)$ states appear as peaks in the $D^-K^+$ and $D^+D^-$ invariant mass spectra near 2900 and 3930 MeV, respectively. Clear event concentration of the $X_0(2900)$ and $\chi_0(3930)$ states is evident as strips in the Dalitz plot. The results suggest that both $X_0(2900)$ and $\chi_{c0}(3930)$ can be interpreted as molecular states, with the inclusion of $X_1(2900)$ and $\chi_2(3930)$ necessary to describe structures in the regions near 2900 and 3930 MeV.

We discuss the non-perturbative and the radiative corrections to inclusive B decays from the point of view known from QED corrections to high energy e^+ e^- processes. Here the leading contributions can be implemented through the so called ``radiator function'' which corresponds to the shape function known in heavy hadron decays. In this way some new insight into the origin of the shape function is obtained. As a byproduct, a parameterization of the radiatively corrected shape function is suggested which can be implemented in Monte Carlo studies of inclusive heavy hadron decays.

We review here some results, both from our workgroup and from other research groups, about the effect of magnetic fields on particles interaction processes, focusing mainly on recent results, but without losing sight on early seminal works on this topic. A vast assortment of physical situations and of analytical and numerical approaches can be found in the literature in this subject, making the comparison between them not straightforward. Our aim is to focus attention on differences and similarities between the different situations and approaches, looking for a systematization scheme that could be predictive, once the role played by each physical ingredient could be understood. The main purpose of this work is to find some physical explanations of the ongoing processes.

We calculate the cross section for $e^+ e^-$ annihilation into $D^{*0} \bar D^0 +\gamma$ at center-of-mass energies near the $D^{*0} \bar D^{*0}$ threshold under the assumption that $X(3872)$ is a weakly bound charm meson molecule. The Dalitz plot has a $\bar D^{*0}$ resonance band in the squared invariant mass $t$ of $\bar D^0 \gamma$. In the limit as the decay width of the $D^{*0}$ goes to 0, the Dalitz plot also has a narrow band in the squared invariant mass $u$ of $D^{*0} \bar D^0$ from a charm-meson triangle singularity. At the physical value of the $D^{*0}$ width, the narrow band reduces to a shoulder. Thus the triangle singularity cannot be observed directly as a peak in a differential cross section as a function of $u$. It may however be observed indirectly as a local minimum in the $t$ distribution for events with $u$ below the triangle singularity. The minimum is produced by the Schmid cancellation between triangle loop diagrams and a tree diagram. The observation of this minimum would support the identification of $X(3872)$ as a weakly bound charm meson molecule.

The small-scale structure problems of the universe can be solved by self-interacting dark matter that becomes strongly interacting at low energies. A particularly predictive model is resonant short-range self-interactions, with a dark-matter mass of about 19 GeV and a large S-wave scattering length of about 17 fm. Such a model makes definite predictions for the few-body physics of weakly bound clusters of the dark-matter particles. We calculate the production of two-body bound clusters by three-body recombination in the early universe under the assumption that the dark matter particles are identical bosons, which is the most favorable case for forming larger clusters. The fraction of dark matter in the form of two-body bound clusters can increase by as much as 4 orders of magnitude when the dark-matter temperature falls below the binding energy, but its present value remains less than 10^(-6).

For the $b$ quark {\sl pole} mass we get, including $O(m_c^2/m_b^2)$ and $O(\alpha_s^5\log \alpha_s)$ corrections, $m_b=5.020\pm0.058 GeV$; and for the $\bar{MS}$ mass the result, correct to $O(\alpha_s^3)$, $O(m_c^2/m_b^2)$, $\bar{m}_b(\bar{m}_b)=4.286\pm0.036 GeV$. For the decay $\Upsilon\to e^+e^-$, higher corrections are too large to permit a reliable calculation, but we can predict a toponium width of $13\pm1 keV$.

Using a nonperturbative method based on asymptotic behaviour of Wilson loops we calculate masses of glueballs and corresponding Regge-trajectories. The method contains no fitting parameters and the mass scale is fixed by the meson Regge slope. Theoretical predictions for lowest glueball states are in a perfect agreement with lattice results. The leading glueball trajectory and its relation to the Pomeron is discussed in details. Important role of mixing between glueball and q\bar q trajectories is emphasized.

Thermal relic dark matter scenarios in the sub-GeV mass range require the presence of light mediators, whose coupling to the Standard Model facilitates annihilation in the early universe and allows for the correct thermal relic abundance. The mediators in turn provide a production channel for dark matter at colliders or fixed targets, and as a consequence the neutrino beams generated at fixed targets may contain an additional beam of light dark matter. The signatures of this beam include elastic scattering off electrons or nucleons in the (near-)detector, which closely mimics the neutral current scattering of neutrinos. We determine the event rate at modern fixed target facilities and the ensuing sensitivity to sub-GeV dark matter.

Higgs boson couplings with gauge bosons are probed through $e^-e^+ \rightarrow Z \gamma h$ in an effective Lagrangian framework. For this study the beam polarization facility at the ILC along with the typical center-of-mass energy of 500 GeV is considered. The reach of the ILC with an integrated luminosity of 300 fb$^{-1}$ in the determination of $CP$-conserving parameters is obtained. Sensitivity of the probe of each of these couplings in the presence of other couplings is investigated. The most influential coupling parameters are $\bar c_W=-\bar c_B$. Other parameters of significant effect are $\bar c_{HW}$ and $\bar c_{HB}$. A detailed study of the various kinematic distributions represents possibilities to disentangle the effect of some of these couplings.

We investigate the extended Higgs sectors, specially the charged Higgs sector in a supersymmetric $Y=0$ $SU(2)$ triplet and a Standard Model (SM) gauge singlet extension of SM. We show that in this model the allowed data for the Higgs boson interaction eigenstates tend to group into separate blocks for $SU(2)$ triplet, doublet and singlet. The triplet sector has two degenerate paired states, each pair composed of a mostly-triplet charged Higgs and of a mostly-triplet scalar or pseudoscalar state. The mostly-doublet sector involves a Standard Model like Higgs of 125 GeV and extra mass-degenerate states, composed of a charged, a scalar and a pseudoscalar. The CP-odd component of the singlet scalar, after supersymmetry breaking, takes the role of a pseudo-Nambu-Goldstone mode in the $Z_3$ symmetric case, while the CP-even one becomes decoupled. In a second part of our study we investigate the different decay processes allowed to a charged Higgs boson of this model. Specifically, we search for general signatures of the TNMSSM in order to distinguish among Higgs fields belonging to $SU(2)$ doublet, triplet and singlet representations at the LHC. We also propose few golden plated final state modes carrying the distinctive signatures of this model which could be investigated in collider searches. We also show how in the decoupling limit of the triplet ($|\lambda_T| \simeq 0$) affects the decays as well as the production channels at the LHC.

Exothermic scatterings of dark matter (DM) produce DM particles with significant kick velocities inside DM halos. In collaboration with DM self-interaction, the excess kinetic energy of the produced DM particles is distributed to the others, which self-heats the DM particles as a whole. The DM self-heating is efficient towards the halo center, and the heat injection is used to enhance the formation of a uniform density core inside halos. The effect of DM self-heating is expected to be more significant in smaller halos for two reasons: 1) the exothermic cross section times the relative velocity, $\left\langle\sigma_{\rm exo}v_{\rm rel}\right\rangle$, is constant; 2) and the ratio of the injected heat to the velocity dispersion squared gets larger towards smaller halos. For the first time, we quantitatively investigate the core formation from DM self-heating for halos in a wide mass range ($10^{9}$-$10^{15}\,{\rm M}_\odot$) using the gravothermal fluid formalism. Notably, we demonstrate that the core formation is sharply escalating towards smaller halos by taking the self-heating DM (i.e., DM that semi-annihilates and self-interacts) as an example. We show that the sharp escalation of core formation may cause a tension in simultaneously explaining the observed central mass deficit of Milky Way satellites, and field dwarf/low surface brightness spiral galaxies. While the details of the self-heating effect may differ among models, we expect that the sharp halo-mass dependence of the core formation is a general feature of exothermic DM.

The mass gaps existing in the discovered single heavy flavor baryons are analyzed, which show some universal behaviors. Under the framework of a constituent quark model, we quantitatively explain why such interesting phenomenon happens, when these established excited heavy baryons are regarded as the $\lambda$-mode excitations. Based on the universal behaviors of the discussed mass gaps, we may have three implications including the prediction of the masses of excited $\Xi_b^0$ baryons which are still missing in the experiment. For completeness, we also discuss the mass gaps of these $\rho$-mode excited single heavy flavor baryons.

A new method for the nonperturbative solution of quantum field theories is described. The method adapts the exponential-operator technique of the standard many-body coupled-cluster method to the Fock-space eigenvalue problem for light-front Hamiltonians. This leads to an effective eigenvalue problem in the valence Fock sector and a set of nonlinear integral equations for the functions that define the exponential operator. The approach avoids at least some of the difficulties associated with the Fock-space truncation usually used.

Using the sensitivity of Dalitz analyses to the absolute values and the phases of decay amplitudes and isospin symmetry, we obtain a new constraint on the elements of the CKM matrix. We discuss in detail the role of electroweak penguins and outline future prospects.

We consider the issue of determining the D0-Dbar0 width difference Delta Gamma_D experimentally. The current situation is reviewed and suggestions for further study are given. We propose a number of D0 decay modes in addition to those studied in the recent E791, FOCUS and BELLE lifetime determination experiments. Then we address prospects for determining CF - CDS strong phase differences, like delta_{K pi} which appears in the CLEO study of D0 -> K+ pi- transitions. We show how to extract delta_{K* pi} with CDS data and furthermore show when D -> K_L pi data becomes available, that delta_{K pi} can also be obtained.

The distinct color flow of the $qq\to qqH,\; H\to W^+W^-$ process leads to suppressed radiation of soft gluons in the central region, a feature which is not shared by major background processes like $t\bar t$ production or $q\bar q \to W^+W^-$. For the leptonic decay of a heavy Higgs boson, $H\to W^+W^- \to \ell^+\nu \ell^-\bar\nu$, it is shown that these backgrounds are typically accompanied by minijet emission in the 20--40 GeV range. A central minijet veto thus constitutes a powerful background rejection tool. It may be regarded as a rapidity gap trigger at the semihard parton level which should work even at high luminosities.

With the advent of the LHC there is widespread interest in the discovery potential for physics beyond the standard model. In TeV-scale open string theory, the new physics can be manifest in the excitation and decay of new resonant structures, corresponding to Regge recurrences of standard model particles. An essential input for the prediction of invariant mass spectra of the decay products (which could serve to identify the resonance as a string excitation) are the partial and total widths of the decay products. We present a parameter-free calculation of these widths for the first Regge recurrence of the SU(3) gluon octet, of the U(1) gauge boson which accompanies gluons in D-brane constructions, and of the quark triplet.

The Standard Model (SM) supplemented by Type II Seesaw and a SM gauge-singlet scalar dark matter (DM) is a very simple framework to incorporate the observed neutrino oscillations and provide a plausible DM candidate. In this framework, the scalar DM naturally has a leptophilic nature with a pair annihilating mainly into the SM SU(2)$_L$ triplet Higgs scalar of Type II Seesaw which, in turn, decay into leptons. In this work, we consider indirect signatures of this leptophilic DM and examine the spectrum of the cosmic ray electron/positron flux from DM pair annihilations in the Galactic halo. Given an astrophysical background spectrum of the cosmic ray electron/positron flux, we find that the contributions from DM annihilations can nicely fit the observed data from the AMS-02, DAMPE and Fermi-LAT collaborations, with a multi-TeV range of DM mass and a boost factor for the DM annihilation cross section of ${\cal O}(1000)$. The boost factor has a slight tension with the Fermi-LAT data for gamma-ray from dwarf spheroidal galaxies, which can be ameliorated with an enhanced local DM density by a factor of about 2.

The electroweak phase transition is considered in framework of the reduced minimal 3-3-1 model (RM331). Structure of phase transition in this model is divided into two periods. The first period is the phase transition SU(3) ---> SU(2) at TeV scale and the second one is SU(2)--> U(1), which is the like-Standard Model electroweak phase transition. When mass of the neutral Higgs boson (h_1) is taken to be equal to the LHC value: m_{h_1}=125 GeV, then these phase transitions are the first order phase transitions, the mass of Z_2 is about 4.8 TeV; and we find the region of parameter space with the first order phase transition at v_{\rho_0}=246 GeV scale, leading to an effective potential, where mass of the charged Higgs boson is in range of 4.154 TeV < m_{h_{++}} < 5.946 TeV. Therefore, with this approach, new bosons are the triggers of the first order electroweak phase transition with significant implications for the viability of electroweak baryogenesis scenarios.

Large rapidity gap diffraction processes are considered in multi-channel eikonal models. It is shown that shadow corrections to over-fast rising contribution of the input supercritical pomeron (with $\alpha(0)>1$), originating from the pomeron rescatterings or, equivalently, accounting survival probability factor, do not solve the Finkelstein-Kajantie problem. Therefore, in our opinion, another methods of unitarization of supercritical pomeron should be developed.

Large rapidity gap diffraction processes are considered in multi-channel eikonal models. It is shown that shadow corrections to over-fast rising contribution of the input supercritical pomeron (with $\alpha(0)>1$), originating from the pomeron rescatterings or, equivalently, accounting survival probability factor, do not solve the Finkelstein-Kajantie problem. Therefore, in our opinion, another methods of unitarization of supercritical pomeron should be developed.

QCD at finite isospin chemical potential $\mu_{\text I}$ possesses a positively definite fermion determinant and the lattice simulation can be successfully performed. While the two-flavor effective models may be sufficient to describe the phenomenon of pion condensation, it is interesting to study the roles of the strangeness degree of freedom and the U$_{\rm A}(1)$ anomaly. In this paper, we present a systematic study of the three-flavor Nambu--Jona-Lasinio model with a Kobayashi-Maskawa-'t Hooft (KMT) term that mimics the U$_{\rm A}(1)$ anomaly at finite isospin chemical potential. In the mean-field approximation, the model predicts a phase transition from the vacuum to the pion superfluid phase, which takes place at $\mu_{\rm I}$ equal to the pion mass $m_\pi$. Due to the U$_{\rm A}(1)$ anomaly, the strangeness degree of freedom couples to the light quark degrees of freedom and the strange quark effective mass depends on the pion condensate. However, the strange quark condensate and the strange quark effective mass change slightly in the pion superfluid phase, which verifies the validity of the two-flavor models. The effective four-fermion interaction of the Kobayashi-Maskawa-'t Hooft term in the presence of the pion condensation is constructed. Due to the U$_{\rm A}(1)$ anomaly, the pion condensation generally induces scalar-pseudoscalar interaction. The Bethe-Salpeter equation for the mesonic excitations is established and the meson mass spectra are obtained at finite isospin chemical potential and temperature. Finally, the general expression for the topological susceptibility $\chi$ at finite isospin chemical potential $\mu_{\rm I}$ is derived. In contrast to the finite temperature effect which suppresses $\chi$, the isospin density effect leads to an enhancement of $\chi$.

In this paper, we revisit a scale-invariant extension of the standard model (SM) with a strongly interacting hidden sector within AdS/QCD approach. Using the AdS/QCD, we reduce the number of input parameters to three, {\it i.e.} hidden pion decay constant, hidden pion mass and $\tan\beta$ that is defined as the ratio of the vacuum expectation values (VEV) of the singlet scalar field and the SM Higgs boson. As a result, our model has sharp predictability. We perform the phenomenological analysis of the hidden pions which is one of the dark matter (DM) candidates in this model. With various theoretical and experimental constraints we search for the allowed parameter space and find that both resonance and non-resonance solutions are possible. Some typical correlations among various observables such as thermal relic density of hidden pions, Higgs boson signal strengths and DM-nucleon cross section are investigated. We provide some benchmark points for experimental tests.

Studying our semirelativistic potential model and the numerical results, which succeeds in predicting and reproducing recently discovered higher resonances of $D$, $D_s$, $B$, and $B_s$, we find a simple expression for the mass gap between two spin multiplets of heavy-light mesons, $(0^-,1^-)$ and $(0^+,1^+)$. The mass gap between chiral partners defined by $\Delta M=M(0^+)-M(0^-)$ and/or $M(1^+)-M(1^-)$ is given by $\Delta M=M(0^+)-M(0^-)=M(1^+)-M(1^-)\approx \Lambda_{\rm Q}-m_q$ in the limit of heavy quark symmetry. We also study the case including $1/m_Q$ corrections.

We discuss weather the new enhancements found by BES, alias the $Y(4220)$, $Y(4260)$, $Y(4360)$, and $Y(4390)$ are true resonances. We argue that the nearby thresholds $D_s^*\bar{D}_s^*$, $D\bar{D}_1+\bar{D}D_1$, $D_s\bar{D}_{s1}+\bar{D_s}D_{s1}$ and $D^*\bar{D}_1+\bar{D}^*D_1$, as well as the $\psi(4160)$ and $\psi(4415)$ states have a strong influence over the observed $ J/\psi \pi^+\pi^-$ and $h_c \pi^+\pi^-$ line-shapes. We propose an unitarized effective Lagrangian model to study the dynamical effect of the interaction between each known $\psi$ state and its closest thresholds. In addition, we present some of our recent motivating results, using the same model, for the $\psi(3770)$ resonance, where the distortion from a Breit-Wigner line-shape is shown to result not only from the kinematic interference, but also from the influence of the $D^0\bar{D}^0+D^+D^-$ one-loops. Moreover, two poles were found, at about 3.78 GeV and at 3.74 GeV, the second one generated dynamically, yet contributing to the distortion of the line-shape.

The effects of interpreting classical phase space distributions as Wigner functions, which is common in models of multiparticle production, are discussed. The temperature for the classical description is always higher than that for its Wigner function interpretation. A rough estimate shows that the corresponding correction is proportional to R^(-2), where R is the radius of the interaction region, and that it is negligible for heavy ion scattering, but at the few percent level for e^+e^- annihilations.

Our formalism embodies a fit-based spectator-mass modulation function, suited to catch longitudinal-momentum effects in a wide kinematic range. Particular attention is paid to the time-reversal even Boer--Mulders and the time-reversal odd Sivers functions, whose accurate knowledge, needed to perform precise 3D analyses of nucleons, motivates synergies between LHC and EIC Communities.

A distinctive feature of the presence of spontaneous chiral symmetry breaking in QCD is the condensation of low modes of the Dirac operator near the origin. The rate of condensation must be equal to the slope of (Mpi^2 Fpi^2)/2 with respect to the quark mass m in the chiral limit, where Mpi and Fpi are the mass and the decay constant of the Nambu-Goldstone bosons. We compute the spectral density of the (Hermitian) Dirac operator, the quark mass, the pseudoscalar meson mass and decay constant by numerical simulations of lattice QCD with two light degenerate Wilson quarks. We use CLS lattices at three values of the lattice spacing in the range 0.05-0.08 fm, and for several quark masses corresponding to pseudoscalar mesons masses down to 190 MeV. Thanks to this coverage of parameters space, we can extrapolate all quantities to the chiral and continuum limits with confidence. The results show that the low quark modes do condense in the continuum as expected by the Banks-Casher mechanism, and the rate of condensation agrees with the Gell-Mann-Oakes-Renner (GMOR) relation. For the renormalisation-group-invariant ratios we obtain [\Sigma^RGI]^(1/3)/F =2.77(2)(4) and Lambda^MSbar/F = 3.6(2), which correspond to [\Sigma^\MSbar(2 GeV)]^(1/3) =263(3)(4) MeV and F=85.8(7)(20) MeV if FK is used to set the scale by supplementing the theory with a quenched strange quark.

The direct detection of sub-GeV dark matter interacting with nucleons is hampered by the low recoil energies induced by scatterings in the detectors. This experimental difficulty is avoided in the scenario of boosted dark matter where a component of dark matter particles is endowed with large kinetic energies. In this Letter, we point out that the current evaporation of primordial black holes with masses from $10^{14}$ to $10^{16}$ g is a source of boosted light dark matter with energies of tens to hundreds of MeV. Focusing on the XENON1T experiment, we show that these relativistic dark matter particles could give rise to a signal orders of magnitude larger than the present upper bounds. Therefore, we are able to significantly constrain the combined parameter space of primordial black holes and sub-GeV dark matter. In the presence of primordial black holes with a mass of $10^{15}~\mathrm{g}$ and an abundance compatible with present bounds, the limits on DM-nucleon cross-section are improved by four orders of magnitude.

Low-scale string models, in which the string scale M_s is of the order of TeV with large extra dimensions, can solve the problems of scale hierarchy and non-renormalizable quantum gravity in the standard model. String excited states of the standard model particles are possibly observed as resonances in the dijet invariant mass distribution at the LHC. There are two properties to distinguish whether the resonances are due to low-scale string or some other "new physics". One is a characteristic angular distribution in dijet events at the resonance due to spin degeneracy of string excited states, and the other is an appearance of the second resonance at a characteristic mass of second string excited states. We investigate a possibility to observe these evidences of low-scale string models by Monte Carlo simulations with a reference value of M_s = 4 TeV at sqrt{s} = 14 TeV. It is shown that spin degeneracy at the dijet resonance can be observed by looking the chi-distribution with integrated luminosity of 20 fb^-1. It is shown that the second resonance can be observed at rather close to the first resonance in the dijet invariant mass distribution with integrated luminosity of 50 fb^-1. These are inevitable signatures of low-scale string models.

We propose a minimal extension of the standard model of particle physics to accommodate cosmic inflation, dark matter and light neutrino masses. While the inflationary phase is obtained from a modified chaotic inflation scenario, consistent with latest cosmology data, the dark matter particle is a fermion singlet which remains out of equilibrium in the early universe. The scalar field which revives the chaotic inflation scenario by suitable modification also assists in generating tiny couplings of dark matter with its mother particle, naturally realizing the non-thermal or freeze-in type dark matter scenario. Interestingly, the same assisting scalar field also helps in realizing tiny Yukawa couplings required to generate sub-eV Dirac neutrino mass from neutrino couplings to the standard model like Higgs field. The minimality as well as providing a unified solution to all three problems keep the model predictive at experiments spanning out to all frontiers.

We study the possibility of detecting the Higgs boson in the intermediate mass range via its two jet channel. We consider only Higgs bosons produced in association with a $t \bar{t}$ pair. Both $t$ and $\bar{t}$ are required to decay semileptonically to reduce the QCD background. The signal is compared with the main background, $t \bar{t} + 2$ jets, after appropriate cuts. A sizable signal above background is seen in our simulation at the parton level. Use of the $t\bar{t}Z$ channel with $ Z$ decaying to $l^+ l^-$ is suggested for eliminating theoretical uncertainties in determining the $t \bar{t}H$ signal.

This is a pedagogical introduction into theories with branes and extra dimensions. We first discuss the construction of such models from an effective field theory point of view, and then discuss large extra dimensions and some of their phenomenological consequences. Various possible phenomena (split fermions, mediation of supersymmetry breaking and orbifold breaking of symmetries) are discussed next. The second half of this review is entirely devoted to warped extra dimensions, including the construction of the Randall-Sundrum solution, intersecting branes, radius stabilization, KK phenomenology and bulk gauge bosons.

Recently, the CDF collaboration reports an anomaly in dijet mass distribution in association with a lepton and missing energy. We discuss a possibility that the origin of the lepton and missing energy comes not from a W boson but a new boson particle, which is also responsible for the dijet mass peak. We show that such a situation can be realized in the framework of the minimal supersymmetric standard model and the dijet anomaly can be explained.

In the high-scale (split) MSSM, the measured Higgs mass sets an upper bound on the supersymmetric scalar mass scale MSUSY around $10^{11}$ ($10^{8}$) GeV, for $\tan\beta$ in the standard range and the central value of the top quark mass $m_t$. This article discusses how maximal MSUSY is affected by negative threshold corrections to the quartic Higgs coupling arising from the sbottom and stop trilinear couplings. In the high-scale MSSM with very high $\tan\beta$, the electroweak vacuum decay due to the large bottom Yukawa coupling rules out the possibility of raising MSUSY beyond the above limit. In cases with large $A_b$ or $A_t$, MSUSY as a common mass of the extra fermions and scalars can be as high as $10^{17}$ GeV remaining consistent with $m_h$ and the vacuum longevity if $m_t$ is smaller than the central value by $2\sigma$. For the central value of $m_t$, the upper limit on MSUSY does not change very much owing to the metastability, which is the case also in the split MSSM even with $\pm 2\sigma$ variations in $m_t$.

Two important properties of a Higgs boson are its mass and width. They may distinguish the Standard Model (SM) Higgs boson from Higgs bosons of extended models. We show results from a direct mass and width reconstruction for a Higgs boson mass range from 120 to 340 GeV. The mass and width have been reconstructed from the H --> ZZstar --> mu+mu-mu+mu- reaction in an LHC simulation of the CMS detector. The determined mass accuracy has been compared with that obtained from studies for a linear collider (LC). The mass precision from the latter studies is derived by scaling previous LC simulation results according to the expected event rates. For the Higgs boson width we compare a direct determination with indirect methods and find good complementarity.

Combining the recently reported electric dipole moment (EDM) of $^{199}$Hg atom due to breaking of parity and time-reversal symmetries with the improved relativistic atomic calculations, precise limits on the tensor-pseudotensor (T-PT) electron-nucleus (e-N) coupling coefficient and the nuclear Schiff moment (NSM) interactions are determined. Using these limits with the nuclear calculations, we infer limits on the EDMs of neutron and proton as $d_n < 2.2 \times 10^{-26} |e| \rm{cm}$ and $d_p < 2.1 \times 10^{-25} |e| \rm{cm}$, respectively, and on the quantum chromodynamics (QCD) parameter and the combined up- and down- quark chromo-EDMs as $|\bar{\theta}| < 1.1 \times 10^{-10}$ and $|\tilde{d}_u - \tilde{d}_d| < 5.5 \times 10^{-27} |e|\rm{cm}$, respectively. These are the best limits till date to probe new sources of CP violation beyond the standard model (SM) from a diamagnetic atom. Role of considering a capable many-body method to account the electron correlation effects to all orders for inferring the above limits has been highlighted. From this analysis, constraints on the T-PT e-N coupling coefficient with a large range of mass of a possible dark matter carrier $\chi$ between the atomic electrons and nucleus are given.

Radiative emission of neutrino pair (RENP) from atomic states is a new tool to experimentally investigate undetermined neutrino parameters such as the smallest neutrino mass, the nature of neutrino masses (Majorana vs Dirac), and their CP properties. We study effects of neutrino pair emission either from nucleus or from inner core electrons in which the zero-th component of quark or electron vector current gives rise to large coupling. Both the overall rate and the spectral shape of photon energy are given for a few cases of interesting target atoms. Calculated rates exceed those of previously considered target atoms by many orders of magnitudes.

The lepton number violating signal of like-sign-dileptons (LSD), p p \to \ell^\pm\ell^\pm + 2 jets, is investigated within a model of mixing in the neutrino sector assuming the existence of heavy Majorana neutrino states with a left--handed coupling to the light leptons. The LSD signal receives contributions both from the resonant production of a heavy Majorana neutrino (N) and from the exchange of a virtual N in the WW fusion mechanisms. These two possibilities are discussed in detail and compared. Helicity amplitudes are given pointing out differences with calculations previously reported by other authors. The signal cross--sections are computed at the energy of the LHC collider (sqrt{S}=14 TeV) at CERN and within the existing experimental limits on the mixing couplings, including those coming from neutrinoless double beta decay. Detailed angular distributions of signal reactions which are complementary to previous studies on the argument are presented.

The partonic energy loss has been calculated taking both the hard and soft contributions for all the $2 \to 2$ processes, revealing the importance of the individual channels. Cancellation of the intermediate separation scale has been exhibited. Subtleties related to the identical final state partons have properly been taken into account. The estimated collisional loss is compared with its radiative counter part. We show that there exists a critical energy ($E_c$) below which the collisional loss is more than its radiative counterpart. In addition, we present closed form formulas for both the collision probabilities and the stopping power ($dE/dx$)

We consider theories with one gauge group (SU, SO or Sp) and one scalar in a two-index representation. The renormalizable action often has accidental symmetries (such as global U(1) or unusual group parities) that lead to one or more stable states, providing Dark Matter candidates. We discuss the confined phase(s) of each theory and compute the two Higgs phases, finding no generic dualities among them. Discrete gauge symmetries can arise and accidental symmetries can be broken, possibly giving pseudo-Goldstone Dark Matter. Dark Matter candidates can have a complicated sub-structure characteristic of each group and can be accompanied by extra dark radiation.

We discuss the confined phase(s) of each theory and compute the two Higgs phases, finding no generic dualities among them. Discrete gauge symmetries can arise and accidental symmetries can be broken, possibly giving pseudo-Goldstone Dark Matter. Dark Matter candidates can have a complicated sub-structure characteristic of each group and can be accompanied by extra dark radiation.

We construct realistic theories in which the Higgs fields arise from extra dimensional components of higher dimensional gauge fields. In particular, we present a minimal 5D SU(3)_C x SU(3)_W model and a unified 5D SU(6) model. In both cases the theory is reduced to the minimal supersymmetric standard model below the compactification scale, with the two Higgs doublets arising from the 5D gauge multiplet. Quarks and Leptons are introduced in the bulk, giving Yukawa couplings without conflicting with higher dimensional gauge invariance. Despite the fact that they arise from higher dimensional gauge interactions, the sizes of these Yukawa couplings can be different from the 4D gauge couplings due to wave-function profiles of the matter zero modes determined by bulk mass parameters. All unwanted fields are made heavy by introducing appropriate matter and superpotentials on branes, which are also the source of intergenerational mixings in the low-energy Yukawa matrices. The theory can accommodate a realistic structure for the Yukawa couplings as well as small neutrino masses. Scenarios for supersymmetry breaking and the mu-term generation are also discussed.

We systematically assess the DUNE experiment's ability to distinguish between various beyond-standard neutrino oscillation hypotheses pair combinations. For a pair comparison, we evaluate the statistical separation, where one hypothesis plays the role of the true signal while the other corresponds to the test signal. The beyond-standard neutrino oscillation hypotheses under scrutiny include neutrino decay (invisible and visible), non-standard interactions, quantum decoherence, and the violation of the equivalence principle. When taken as the true model, we found that either quantum decoherence or the violation of the equivalence principle are the easiest to differentiate compared to the rest of the hypotheses. Additionally, from our statistical test, we investigate potential discrepancies between the measured CP-violation phase $\delta_{CP}$ relative to its true value, which could occur for a given comparison. In our analysis, we will take the true values of $\delta_{CP}$ as $-90^\circ$ and $180^\circ$. Notably, even in cases where the beyond-standard neutrino oscillation hypotheses scenarios are statistically indistinguishable, the measured value can exhibit significant deviations from its true value.

It has recently been argued that the rate per unit volume of baryon number violation (topological transitions) in the hot, symmetric phase of electroweak theory is of the form $\eta \alpha_w^5 T^4$ in the weak-coupling limit, where $\eta$ is a non-perturbative numerical coefficient. Over the past several years, there have been attempts to extract the rate of baryon number violation from real-time simulations of classical thermal field theory on a spatial lattice. Unfortunately, the coefficient $\eta$ will not be the same for classical lattice theories and the real quantum theory. However, by analyzing the appropriate effective theory on the lattice using the method of hard thermal loops, I show that the only obstruction to precisely relating the rates in the real and lattice theories is the fact that the long-distance physics on the lattice is not rotationally invariant. (This is unlike Euclidean-time measurements, where rotational invariance is always recovered in the continuum limit.) I then propose how this violation of rotational invariance can be eliminated - and the real B violation rate measured - by choosing an appropriate lattice Hamiltonian. I also propose a rough measure of the systematic error to be expected from using simpler, unimproved Hamiltonians. As a byproduct of my investigation, the plasma frequency and Debye mass are computed for classical thermal field theory on the lattice.

Although the light scalar meson $a_0(980)$ is widely perceived as primarily the four-quark bound states, the calculation shows that the 2-quark model supposition for $a_0(980)$ can not be ruled out by the currently available experiment upper limits. In these considered decays, the branching ratio for the $B^-\to a^0_0(980)\pi^-$ is the largest, $2.8\times 10^{-6}$, while its direct CP asymmetry is the smallest, $\sim 14%$. Although the direct CP asymmetries for the decays $\bar{B}^0\to a^0_0(980)\pi^0, B^-\to a^-_0(980)\pi^0$ are large, about $(70\thicksim80)%$, it is still difficult to measure them, since their branching ratios are small, around $(4\thicksim5)\times 10^{-7}$.

We compute the thermal contribution to the Breit-Wheeler differential cross section within the thermofield dynamics formalism. We evaluate in details the cross section for this process, which possess a surprisingly simple expression valid for any temperature $\beta$, from which we discuss some physically relevant aspects. We also consider the high temperature regime of the cross section in order to have a better understanding about its thermal behavior.

The transverse broadening of an energetic jet passing through a non-Abelian plasma is believed to be described by the thermal expectation value of a light-cone Wilson loop. In this exploratory study, we measure the light-cone Wilson loop with classical lattice gauge theory simulations. We observe, as suggested by previous studies, that there are strong interactions already at short transverse distances, which may lead to more efficient jet quenching than in leading-order perturbation theory. We also verify that the asymptotics of the Wilson loop do not change qualitatively when crossing the light cone, which supports arguments in the literature that infrared contributions to jet quenching can be studied with dimensionally reduced simulations in the space-like domain. Finally we speculate on possibilities for full four-dimensional lattice studies of the same observable, perhaps by employing shifted boundary conditions in order to simulate ensembles boosted by an imaginary velocity.

We show that a non-abelian global $SU(2)_R$ acting on the quartic part of the two Higgs Doublet Model leads, at tree-level, to an automatic alignment without decoupling. An example of phenomenologically viable model with this feature is the the low energy effective field theory of the Minimal Dirac Gaugino Supersymmetric Model in the limit where the adjoint scalars are decoupled. We discuss here how the $SU(2)_R$ can be identified with the R-symmetry of the $N=2$ supersymmetry in the gauge and Higgs sectors. We also review how the radiative corrections lead to a very small misalignment.

We study the polarization and dispersion properties of gluons moving within a weakly magnetized background at one-loop order. To this end, we show two alternative derivations of the charged fermion propagator in the weak field expansion and use this expression to compute the lowest order magnetic field correction to the gluon polarization tensor. We explicitly show that, in spite of its cumbersome appearance, the gluon polarization tensor is transverse as required by gauge invariance. We also show that none of the three polarization modes develops a magnetic mass and that gluons propagate along the light cone, non withstanding that Lorentz invariance is lost due to the presence of the magnetic field. By comparing with the expression for the gluon polarization tensor valid to all orders in the magnetic field, the existence of a second solution, corresponding to a finite gluon mass, is shown to be spurious and an artifact of the lowest order approximation in the field strength. We also study the strength of the polarization modes for real gluons. We conclude that, provided the spurious solutions are discarded, the lowest order approximation to the gluon polarization and dispersion properties is good as long as the field strength is small compared to the loop fermion mass.

Using a recently developed light-front spectator model that incorporates gluon, where the light-front wave functions are modeled from the soft-wall AdS/QCD prediction, we examine the leading twist gluon generalized parton distributions (GPDs) inside the proton. We derive the chirally even and odd distributions by using the overlap representation of the light-front wave functions. In terms of GPDs at non-zero skewness, we investigate the entire three-dimensional representation of gluons. We analyse the gluon impact parameter distributions at $\xi=0$ using the Fourier transform of GPDs. We address the total angular momentum contribution of the gluons by using the Ji's sum rule and also give our predictions for both the canonical and kinetic orbital angular momentum in the light-cone gauge.

We study the effects of lepton flavour violation (LFV) on the production processes e+e- --> \chi+_i \chi-_j at a linear collider with longitudinal e+ and e- beam polarizations. In the case of LFV the sneutrino mass eigenstates have no definite flavour, therefore, in the t-channel more than one sneutrino mass eigenstate can contribute to the chargino production cross sections. Our framework is the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM) including LFV terms. We show that in spite of the restrictions on the LFV parameters due to the current limits on rare lepton decays, the cross section \sigma(e+e- --> \chi+_1 \chi-_1) can change by a factor of 2 or more when varying the LFV mixing angles. We point out that even if the present bound on BR(tau- --> e- gamma) improves by a factor of thousand the influence of LFV on the chargino production cross section can be significant. These results could have an important impact on the strategies for determining the underlying model parameters at the linear collider.

We investigate the real-time dynamics of U(1) and SU(N) gauge theories coupled to fermions on a lattice. While real-time lattice gauge theory is not amenable to standard importance sampling techniques, for a large class of time-dependent problems the quantum dynamics can be accurately mapped onto a classical-statistical ensemble. We illustrate the genuine quantum contributions included in this description by giving a diagrammatic representation in a series expansion. The non-perturbative simulation method is then applied to electron-positron production in quantum electrodynamics in three spatial dimensions. We compare to analytic results for constant background field and demonstrate the importance of back-reaction of the produced fermion pairs on the gauge fields.

Using the ``glueball dominance'' picture of the mixing between q\bar{q} mesons of different hidden flavors, we establish new glueball-meson mass relations which serve as a basis for glueball spectral systematics. For the tensor glueball mass 2.3\pm 0.1 GeV used as an input parameter, these relations predict the following glueball masses: M(0^{++})\simeq 1.65\pm 0.05 GeV, M(1^{--})\simeq 3.2\pm 0.2 GeV, M(2^{-+})\simeq 2.95\pm 0.15 GeV, M(3^{--})\simeq 2.8\pm 0.15 GeV. We briefly discuss the failure of such relations for the pseudoscalar sector. Our results are consistent with (quasi)-linear Regge trajectories for glueballs with slope \simeq 0.3\pm 0.1 GeV^{-2}.

I present the latest results on the theoretical cross section for top-antitop pair production as well as for single top production at the Tevatron and the LHC. The calculations include higher-order soft-gluon corrections which are dominant near threshold. The top quark transverse momentum distribution is also presented.

Based on the first principle calculation, a Lagrangian for the system describing quarks, gluons, and their interactions, is constructed. Ascribed to the existence of dissipative behavior as a consequence of strong interaction within quark-gluon plasma (QGP) matter, auxiliary terms describing viscosities are constituted into the Lagrangian. Through a "kind" of phase transition, gluon field is redefined as a scalar field with four-vector velocity inherently attached. Then, the Lagrangian is elaborated further to produce the energy-momentum tensor of dissipative fluid-like system and the equation of motion (EOM). By imposing the law of energy and momentum conservation, the values of shear and bulk viscosities are analytically calculated. Our result shows that, at the energy level close to hadronization, the bulk viscosity is bigger than shear viscosity. By making use of the conjectured values $\eta / s \sim 1 / 4\pi$ and $\zeta / s \sim 1$, the ratio of bulk to shear viscosity is found to be $\zeta / \eta > 4 \pi$.

We study the asymptotic behaviour of the transverse momentum broadening distribution of an energetic quark or gluon propagating through dense QCD matter, in the large system size $L$ limit, taking into account radiative corrections in the double logarithmic approximation. Thanks to a connection between the evolution of the jet quenching parameter $\hat{q}$ and the formation of traveling wave fronts in nonlinear physics, we obtain a formula for the $L$ dependence of the characteristic transverse momentum scale $Q_s$ of the distribution valid up to terms of order $1/\ln(L)$. We briefly discuss the physical implications of this formula for jet quenching and small-$x$ phenomenology.

We show how the neutrino mixing angles and oscillation phase can be predicted from tri-bimaximal neutrino mixing, corrected by charged lepton mixing angles which are related to quark mixing angles via quark-lepton unification. The tri-bimaximal neutrino mixing can naturally originate from the see-saw mechanism via constrained sequential dominance (CSD), where CSD can result from the vacuum alignment of a non-Abelian family symmetry such as SO(3). We construct a realistic model of quark and lepton masses and mixings based on SO(3) family symmetry with quark-lepton unification based on the Pati-Salam gauge group. The atmospheric angle is predicted to be approximately maximal $\theta_{23}= 45^\circ$, corrected by the quark mixing angle $\theta_{23}^{\mathrm{CKM}}\approx 2.4^\circ$, with the correction controlled by an undetermined phase in the quark sector. The solar angle is predicted by the tri-bimaximal complementarity relation: $\theta_{12}+ \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\frac{\theta_{\mathrm{C}}}{3} \cos (\delta - \pi) \approx 35.26^\circ $, where $\theta_{\mathrm{C}}$ is the Cabibbo angle and $\delta$ is the neutrino oscillation phase. The reactor angle is predicted to be $\theta_{13} \approx \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\frac{\theta_{\mathrm{C}}}{3}\approx 3.06^\circ$. The MNS neutrino oscillation phase $\delta$ is predicted in terms of the solar angle to be $\cos (\delta - \pi) \approx (35.26^\circ - \theta_{12}^\circ)/3.06^\circ $. These predictions can all be tested by future high precision neutrino oscillation experiments, thereby probing the nature of high energy quark-lepton unification.

Recently, an anomaly of W+jets events at large invariant masses has been reported by CDF. Many interpretations as physics beyond the Standard Model are being offered. We show how such an invariant mass peak can arise from a slight shift in the relative normalization of the top and WW backgrounds.
