of the MSSM and explain current neutrino data. The model breaks lepton number
as well as R-parity. In this paper we study the phenomenology of this proposal
concentrating on neutrino masses and the decay of the lightest supersymmetric
particle (LSP). At first we investigate in detail the $\mu\nu$SSM with one
generation of singlets, which can explain all neutrino data, once 1-loop
corrections are taken into account. Then we study variations of the model with
more singlets, which can generate all neutrino masses and mixings at
tree-level. We calculate the decay properties of the lightest supersymmetric
particle, assumed to be the lightest neutralino, taking into account all
possible final states. The parameter regions where the LSP decays within the
LHC detectors but with a length large enough to show a displaced vertex are
identified. Decay branching ratios of certain final states show characteristic
correlations with the measured neutrino angles, allowing to test the model at
the LHC. Finally we briefly discuss possible signatures, which allow to
distinguish between different R-parity breaking models.

dilaton. We consider various theoretical and experimental constraints on the

Then for the 1\sigma surviving samples, we calculate the MDM predictions on the
inclusive production rate \sigma(e^+e^-\to Zh) at the 240-GeV Higgs factory,
and also the signal rates of e^+e^-\to Zh with the Higgs boson decaying to
b\bar b and \gamma\gamma. We have following observations: (1) In the heavy
dilaton scenario, the deviation of \sigma(e^+e^-\to Zh) from its SM prediction
can vary from -15\% to 85\%, which mainly arises from the modification of the
tree-level hZZ coupling and also the radiative correction induced by possibly
large Higgs self-couplings. (2) The processes e^+e^-\to Zh at the Higgs factory
and pp\to hh at 14-TeV LHC are complementary in limiting the MDM parameter
space. Requiring the deviation of \sigma(e^+e^-\to Zh) from its SM prediction
to be less than 1\% and that of \sigma(p p \to h h) to be less than 50\%, \tan
\theta_S in the MDM will be limited to be -0.1<\tan\theta_S<0.3, and the
deviations of the signal rates are constrained to be |R_{b\bar b}|<2\% and
|R_{\gamma\gamma}|<7\%. Especially, the Higgs self-coupling normalized to its
SM prediction is now upper bounded by about 4. (3) In the light dilaton
scenario, the deviation of \sigma(e^+e^-\to Zh) may reach -7\%, and requiring
its size to be less than 1\% will result in 0<\tan\theta_S<0.1, and -10\% <

] | Present estimations of proton-proton total cross section at very high energies are obtained from cosmic rays (>10^17 eV) by means of some approximations and the knowledge of the measured proton-air cross section at these energies. Besides, total cross section are measured with present day high energy colliders up to nearly 2 TeV in the center of mass (~ 10^15 eV in the laboratory). Here we use a phenomenological model based on the Multiple-Diffraction approach to succesfully describe data at accelerator energies. Then we estimate with it proton-proton total cross sections at cosmic ray energies. On the basis of a forecasting regression analysis we determine confident errors bands, analyzing the sensitivity of our predictions to the employed data for extrapolation. |

boundary condition $\mathbf{Y}^d=\mathbf{Y}^{e\,T}$ for the full $3\!\times\!3$
down-quark and lepton Yukawa matrices at the GUT scale within the $R$-parity
conserving MSSM.
We give numerical evidence in favour of the statement:
There exist regions in the parameter space of the R-parity conserving MSSM
for which the unification of the down-quark and lepton Yukawa matrices takes
place, while the predicted values of flavour, electroweak and other collider
observables are consistent with experimental constraints.
Furthermore, we find evidence that the bottom-tau and strange-muon Yukawa
unification is possible with a stable MSSM vacuum in the standard form.
We investigate two separate scenarios of the soft supersymmetry breaking
terms at the GUT scale. In the first one, it is assumed that the soft terms are
flavour-diagonal in the super-CKM basis. In such a case, the trilinear
Higgs-squark-squark $A$-terms can generate large threshold corrections to
$\mathbf{Y}^d$ at the superpartner decoupling scale. In effect, the condition
$\mathbf{Y}^d=\mathbf{Y}^{e\,T}$ imposed at the GUT scale can be satisfied.
However, the large trilinear terms make the usual Higgs vacuum metastable
(though sufficiently long-lived).
In the second scenario, we consider non-vanishing flavour off-diagonal
entries in the soft SUSY-breaking mass matrices. We show that a non-trivial
flavour structure of the soft SUSY-breaking sector can allow a precise
bottom-tau and strange-muon Yukawa coupling unification, while satisfying all
phenomenological constraints.

quark effects in jet production taking the thrust distribution for e+ e-
collisions in the dijet limit as a concrete example. The method is based on the
field theoretic treatment of collinear and soft mass modes which have to be
separated coherently from the collinear and ultrasoft modes related to massless
quarks and gluons. For thrust the structure of the conceptual setup is closely
related to the production of massive gauge bosons and involves four different
effective field theories to describe all possible kinematic situations. The
effective field theories merge into each other continuously and thus allow for
a continuous description from infinitely heavy to arbitrarily small masses
keeping the exact mass dependence of the most singular terms treated through
factorization. The mass mode field theory method we present here is in the
spirit of the variable fermion number scheme originally proposed by Aivazis,
Collins, Olness and Tung and can also be applied in hadron collisions.

] | We present an effective field theory method to determine secondary massive quark effects in jet production taking the thrust distribution for e+ e- collisions in the dijet limit as a concrete example. The method is based on the field theoretic treatment of collinear and soft mass modes which have to be separated coherently from the collinear and ultrasoft modes related to massless quarks and gluons. For thrust the structure of the conceptual setup is closely related to the production of massive gauge bosons and involves four different effective field theories to describe all possible kinematic situations. The effective field theories merge into each other continuously and thus allow for a continuous description from infinitely heavy to arbitrarily small masses keeping the exact mass dependence of the most singular terms treated through factorization. The mass mode field theory method we present here is in the spirit of the variable fermion number scheme originally proposed by Aivazis, Collins, Olness and Tung and can also be applied in hadron collisions. |

Peccei-Quinn symmetry, $U(1)_{PQ}$. Dangerous tree-level flavour-changing
neutral currents, common in 2HDMs, are forbidden by the extra gauge symmetry,
$U(1)_X$. In our construction, the solutions to the important issues of
neutrino masses, dark matter and the strong CP problem are interrelated.
Neutrino masses are generated via a Dirac seesaw mechanism and are suppressed
by the ratio of the $U(1)_X$ and the $U(1)_{PQ}$ breaking scales. Naturally
small neutrino masses suggest that the breaking of $U(1)_X$ occurs at a
relatively low scale, which may lead to observable signals in near-future
experiments. Interestingly, spontaneous symmetry breaking does not lead to
mixing between the $U(1)_X$ gauge boson, $Z^\prime$, and the standard $Z$. For
the expected large values of the $U(1)_{PQ}$ scale, the associated axion
becomes "invisible", with DFSZ-like couplings, and may account for the observed
abundance of cold dark matter. Moreover, a viable parameter space region, which
falls within the expected sensitivities of forthcoming axion searches, is
identified. We also observe that the flavour-violating process of kaon decaying
into pion plus axion, $K^+ \to \pi^+ a$, is further suppressed by the $U(1)_X$
scale, providing a rather weak lower bound for the axion decay constant $f_a$.

the puzzle of the baryon number asymmetry in the universe by means of a better
understanding of the baryonic nature of our matter world. As such, they
constitute a yet unexplored class of decay processes worth investigating. We
propose to search for purely baryonic decay processes at the LHCb experiment.
No such type of decay has ever been observed. In particular, we concentrate on
the decay $\Lambda_b^0\to p\bar pn$, which is the simplest purely baryonic
decay mode, with solely spin-1/2 baryons involved. We predict its decay

] | Though not considered in general, purely baryonic decays could shed light on the puzzle of the baryon number asymmetry in the universe by means of a better understanding of the baryonic nature of our matter world. As such, they constitute a yet unexplored class of decay processes worth investigating. We propose to search for purely baryonic decay processes at the LHCb experiment. No such type of decay has ever been observed. In particular, we concentrate on the decay $\Lambda_b^0\to p\bar pn$, which is the simplest purely baryonic decay mode, with solely spin-1/2 baryons involved. We predict its decay branching ratio to be ${\cal B}(\Lambda_b^0\to p\bar pn)=(2.0^{+0.3}_{-0.2})\times 10^{-6}$, which is sufficiently large to make the decay mode accessible to LHCb. Our study can be extended to other purely baryonic decays such as $\Lambda_b^0\to p\bar p \Lambda$ and $\Lambda_b^0\to \Lambda\bar \Lambda\Lambda$, as well as to similar decays of anti-triplet $b$-baryons such as $\Xi_b^{0,-}$. |

multiplet. We argue that if the Peccei-Quinn solution to the strong-CP problem
is realized in string theory then such axion-mediation is generic, while in a
field theory model it is a natural possibility in both DFSZ- and KSVZ-like
regimes. Axion mediation can parametrically dominate gravity-mediation and is
also cosmologically beneficial as the constraints arising from axino and
gravitino overproduction are reduced. Finally, in the string context, axion
mediation provides a motivated mechanism where the UV completion naturally
ameliorates the supersymmetric flavor problem.

at the LHC as a test-probe of a not ideal system for applying this technique.
We study this Topic Model behavior as its different hypotheses such as mutual
reducibility and equal distribution in all samples shift from true. The
four-top final state at the LHC is not only relevant because it does not
fulfill these conditions, but also because it is a difficult and inefficient
system to reconstruct and current Monte Carlo modeling of signal and
backgrounds suffers from non-negligible uncertainties. We implement this Topic
Model algorithm in the Same-Sign lepton channel where S/B is of order one and
all backgrounds cannot have more than two b-jets at parton level. We define
different mixtures according to the number of b-jets and we use the total
number of jets to demix. Since only the background has an anchor bin, we find
that we can reconstruct the background in the signal region independently of
Monte Carlo. We propose to use this information to tune the Monte Carlo in the
signal region and then compare signal prediction with data. We also explore
Machine Learning techniques applied to this Topic Model algorithm and find
slight improvements as well as potential roads to investigate. Although our
findings indicate that still with the full LHC run 3 data the implementation
would be challenging, we pursue through this work to find ways to reduce the
impact of Monte Carlo simulations in four-top searches at the LHC.

cosmological relaxation framework. The key feature distinguishing it from other
scanning scenarios is that the scanning field has a non-canonical kinetic term,
whose role is to terminate the scan around the desired Higgs mass value. We
propose a concrete realisation of this idea with two new singlet fields, one
that scans the Higgs mass, and another that limits the time window in which the
scan is possible. Within the provided time period, the scanning field does not
significantly evolve after the Higgs field gets close to the Standard Model
value, due to particle production friction.

] | We propose a new way of explaining the observed Higgs mass, within the cosmological relaxation framework. The key feature distinguishing it from other scanning scenarios is that the scanning field has a non-canonical kinetic term, whose role is to terminate the scan around the desired Higgs mass value. We propose a concrete realisation of this idea with two new singlet fields, one that scans the Higgs mass, and another that limits the time window in which the scan is possible. Within the provided time period, the scanning field does not significantly evolve after the Higgs field gets close to the Standard Model value, due to particle production friction. |

strong suppression of the nuclear modification factor in central collisions
around $p_T \sim 6-7$ GeV/c was seen. As a possible explanation, the
hydrodynamic description of the collision process was tentatively proposed.
However, such effect, (albeit much weaker) also exists in the ratio of
data/fits, both in nuclear $Pb+Pb$ collisions, and in the elementary $p+p$ data
in the same range of transverse momenta for which such an explanation is
doubtful. As shown recently, in this case, assuming that this effect is
genuine, it can be attributed to a specific modification of a quasi-power like
formula usually used to describe such $p_T$ data, namely the Tsallis
distribution. Following examples from other branches of physics, one simply has
to allow for the power index becoming a complex number. This results in
specific log-periodic oscillations dressing the usual power-like distribution,
which can fit the $p+p$ data. In this presentation we demonstrate that this
method can also describe $Pb+Pb$ data for different centralities. We compare it
also with a two component statistical model with two Tsallis distributions
recently proposed showing that data at still larger $p_T$ will be sufficient to
discriminate between these two approaches.

Here, the $X_0(2900)$ was assigned as a $S-$wave $\bar D^\ast K^\ast$ hadronic

estimate the partial decay widths. Moreover, we also predicted the decay

out that the $X_1$ state with $I=0$ was a broad state with the width more than
one hundred MeV, while another $X_2$ state with $I=0$ was a narrow state with
the width approaching half of that for the $X_0(2900)$. In addition, our
results also showed that the $\bar D^\ast K$ mode was expected to be the

QCD-electroweak scattering amplitudes for $Z$-boson production in association
with one hard jet at hadron colliders. We employ a method to calculate
amplitudes in the 't Hooft-Veltman scheme that reduces the amount of spurious
non-physical information needed at intermediate stages of the computation, to
keep the complexity of the calculation under control. We compute all the
relevant Feynman integrals numerically using the Auxiliary Mass Flow method. We
evaluate the two-loop scattering amplitudes on a two-dimensional grid in the
rapidity and transverse momentum of the $Z$ boson, which has been designed to
yield a reliable numerical sampling of the boosted-$Z$ region. This result
provides an important building block for improving the theoretical modelling of
a key background for monojet searches at the LHC.

] | We present a calculation of the bosonic contribution to the two-loop mixed QCD-electroweak scattering amplitudes for $Z$-boson production in association with one hard jet at hadron colliders. We employ a method to calculate amplitudes in the 't Hooft-Veltman scheme that reduces the amount of spurious non-physical information needed at intermediate stages of the computation, to keep the complexity of the calculation under control. We compute all the relevant Feynman integrals numerically using the Auxiliary Mass Flow method. We evaluate the two-loop scattering amplitudes on a two-dimensional grid in the rapidity and transverse momentum of the $Z$ boson, which has been designed to yield a reliable numerical sampling of the boosted-$Z$ region. This result provides an important building block for improving the theoretical modelling of a key background for monojet searches at the LHC. |

charm-strange states $D_{s0}^\ast (2317)$ and $D_{s1}(2460)$, do not conform
with the conventional quark model expectations and raise various puzzles in
charm meson spectroscopy. We demonstrate that those puzzles find a natural
solution thanks to the recent development of chiral effective theory and
Lattice simulations. The existence of the $D_{s0}^\ast (2317)$ and
$D_{s1}(2460)$ are attributed to the nonperturbative dynamics of Goldstone
bosons scattering off $D$ and $D^\ast$ mesons. It indicates that the lowest
positive parity nonstrange scalar charm mesons, the $D_0^\ast(2400)$ in the
Review of Particel Physics, should be replaced by two states. The well
constructed amplitudes are fully in line with the high quality data on the
decays $B^-\to D^+\pi^-\pi^-$ and $D_s^0\to \bar{D}^0K^-\pi^+$. This implies
that the lowest positve-parity states are dynamically generated rather than
conventional quark-antiquark states. This pattern has also been established for
the scalar and axial-vector mesons made from light quarks ($u$, $d$ and $s$

Matching the model results to resonance meson exchange yields the relation
between the masses of the scalar, tensor and vector mesons,
$M_{f_0}=M_{f_2}=\sqrt{2} M_V= 4 \sqrt{3 /N_c} \pi f_\pi$. Finally, the

] | We analyze the recently proposed Spectral Quark Model in the light of Chiral Perturbation Theory in curved space-time. In particular, we calculate the chiral coefficients $L_1, ..., L_{10}$, as well as the coefficients $L_{11}$, $L_{12}$, and $L_{13}$, appearing when the model is coupled to gravity. The analysis is carried for the SU(3) case. We analyze the pattern of chiral symmetry breaking as well as elaborate on the fulfillment of anomalies. Matching the model results to resonance meson exchange yields the relation between the masses of the scalar, tensor and vector mesons, $M_{f_0}=M_{f_2}=\sqrt{2} M_V= 4 \sqrt{3 /N_c} \pi f_\pi$. Finally, the large-$N_c$ limit suggests the dual relations in the vector and scalar channels, $M_V=M_S= 2 \sqrt{6 /N_c} \pi f_\pi $ and $<r^2 >^{1/2}_S = < r^2 >^{1/2}_V = 2 \sqrt{N_c} / f_\pi = 0.59 {\rm fm} $. |
