After a brief theoretical introduction of the warped extra-dimensional model with custodial protection the results of arXiv:0809.1073 [hep-ph] are presented. In this work we analyze the impact of Kaluza-Klein (KK) gauge boson modes on Delta F=2 observables, for the first time considering the full operator basis and including NLO renormalization group running. It is pointed out that the dominant contribution in the B-system does not come from the KK gluon, but that contributions from KK excitations of the weak gauge bosons are competitive. In a numerical analysis we assess the amount of fine-tuning necessary for obtaining realistic values for quark masses and mixings and at the same time realistic values for epsilon_K, the measure for CP violation in K meson mixing. We are able to show that a mass of the lightest KK gauge boson of 2-3 TeV, and hence in the reach of the LHC, is still possible for moderate fine-tuning. These results enable us to make predictions for not yet measured Delta F=2 observables, such as S_\psi\phi and A_s^SL, which can differ significantly from their SM values.

We describe Scalar-Pseudoscalar partner degeneration at the QCD chiral transition in terms of the dominant low-energy physical states for the light quark sector. First, we obtain within model-independent one-loop Chiral Perturbation Theory (ChPT) that the QCD pseudoscalar susceptibility is proportional to the quark condensate at low $T$. Next, we show that this chiral-restoring behaviour for $\chi_P$ is compatible with recent lattice results for screening masses and gives rise to degeneration between the scalar and pseudoscalar susceptibilities ($\chi_S$, $\chi_P$) around the transition point, consistently with an O(4)-like current restoration pattern. This scenario is clearly confirmed by lattice data when we compare $\chi_S(T)$ with the quark condensate, expected to scale as $\chi_P(T)$. Finally, we show that saturating $\chi_S$ with the $\sigma/f_0(500)$ broad resonance observed in pion scattering and including its finite temperature dependence, allows to describe the peak structure of $\chi_S(T)$ in lattice data and the associated critical temperature. This is carried out within a unitarized ChPT scheme which generates the resonant state dynamically and is also consistent with partner degeneration.

We investigate the spin contribution to light baryon ground states in three inequivalent large-$N$ limits: 't Hooft, QCD antisymmetric and QCD symmetric. Our framework is a constituent quark model with a relativistic Hamiltonian containing a stringlike confinement and a one-gluon exchange term. Two spin-dependent potentials are considered and treated as perturbations: the color magnetic interaction stemming from the one-gluon exchange process and the chiral boson exchange interaction. We analytically prove that the spin contributions scale like $S(S+1)/n_q$, where $S$ is the total spin and $n_q$ is the number of quark, in agreement with diagrammatic methods. Both potentials yield also $S$-independent contributions which scale at most as O$(n_q)$.

Randall-Sundrum models are models of quark flavor, because they explain the hierarchies in the quark masses and mixings in terms of order one localization parameters of extra dimensional wavefunctions. The same small numbers which generate the light quark masses suppress contributions to flavor violating tree level amplitudes. In this note we update universal constraints from electroweak precision parameters and demonstrate how future measurements of flavor violation in ultra rare decay channels of Kaons and B mesons will constrain the parameter space of this type of models. We show how collider signatures are correlated with these flavor measurements and compute projected limits for direct searches at the 14 TeV LHC run, a 14 TeV LHC luminosity upgrade, a 33 TeV LHC energy upgrade, and a potential 100 TeV machine. We further discuss the effects of a warped model of leptons in future measurements of lepton flavor violation.

Strangeness in the baryon ground states
15 pages, 5 tables, 3 figures. There are two significant extensions in the revised manuscript. First, a precise determination of the axial coupling constants F and D from the lattice data on the baryon masses is provided. Second, it is shown that the lattice data of the QCDSF-UKQCD group on the baryon masses in the flavor symmetric limit are recovered. The 3rd version is the published version

We compute the strangeness content of the baryon octet and decuplet states based on an analysis of recent lattice simulations of the BMW, PACS, LHPC and HSC groups for the pion-mass dependence of the baryon masses. Our results rely on the relativistic chiral Lagrangian and large-$N_c$ sum rule estimates of the counter terms relevant for the baryon masses at N$^3$LO. A partial summation is implied by the use of physical baryon and meson masses in the one-loop contributions to the baryon self energies. A simultaneous description of the lattice results of the BMW, LHPC, PACS and HSC groups is achieved. From a global fit we determine the axial coupling constants $F\simeq 0.45$ and $D \simeq 0.80 $ in agreement with their values extracted from semi-leptonic decays of the baryons. Moreover, various flavor symmetric limits of baron octet and decuplet masses as obtained by the QCDSF-UKQCD group are recovered. We predict the pion- and strangeness sigma terms and the pion-mass dependence of the octet and decuplet ground states at different strange quark masses.

Given current discrepancy in muon $g-2$ and future dedicated efforts to measure muon electric dipole moment (EDM) $d_\mu$, we assess the indirect constraints imposed on $d_\mu$ by the EDM measurements performed with heavy atoms and molecules. We notice that the dominant muon EDM effect arises via the muon-loop induced "light-by-light" $CP$-odd amplitude $\propto{\bf B}{\bf E}^3$, and in the vicinity of a large nucleus the corresponding parameter of expansion can be significant, $eE_{\rm nucl}/m_\mu^2 \sim 0.04$. We compute the $d_\mu$-induced Schiff moment of the $^{199}$Hg nucleus, and the linear combination of $d_e$ and semileptonic $C_S$ operator (dominant in this case) that determine the $CP$-odd effects in ThO molecule. The results, $d_\mu(^{199}{\rm Hg}) < 6\times 10^{-20}e$cm and $d_\mu({\rm ThO}) < 2\times 10^{-20}e$cm, constitute approximately three- and nine-fold improvements over the limits on $d_\mu$ extracted from the BNL muon beam experiment.

We propose a model-independent ansatz $M={\beta_x}\left(x+c_0\right)^{\nu}+c_1$ ($x=l,\,n_r$) and then use it to fit the orbital and radial pion Regge trajectories without the preset values. It is shown that nonzero $c_1$ is reasonable and acceptable. Nonzero $c_1$ gives an explanation for the nonlinearity of the pion Regge trajectories in the usually employed $(M^2,\,x)$ plane. As $m_R$ or $c_1$ is chosen appropriately, both the orbital and radial pion Regge trajectories are linear in the $((M-m_R)^2,\,x)$ plane whether the $\pi^0$ is included or not on the Regge trajectories. The fitted pion Regge trajectories suggest $0.45\le\nu\le0.5$, which indicates the confining potential $r^a$ with $9/11{\le}a\le1$. Moreover, it is illustrated in the appendix B that $m_R$ can be nonzero for the light nonstrange mesons. We present discussions in the appendix A on the structure of the Regge trajectories plotted in the $(M,\,x)$ plane and on the structure of the Regge trajectories in the $((M-m_R)^2,\,x)$ plane based on the potential models and the string models.

In this paper we study the implications of the recent high precision measurement of (g-2)_{\mu} by BNL on new heavy physics beyond the SM in a model independent way. We find that if the new physics responsible for the muon anomaly is due to d=6 direct operators then they could arise from the following follwing three broad classes of new physics a) new particles in the few hundred Gev range with weak gauge coupling b) strongly interacting particles and resonances in the few Tev range and c) massive Kaluza-Klein modes of the graviton in the Tev range with couplings to SM particles of the order of ${E\over (Tev)}$.

Two-pion Hanbury-Brown-Twiss (HBT) correlations for p+p and central Pb+Pb collisions at the Large-Hadron-Collider (LHC) energies are investigated with the ultra-relativistic quantum molecular dynamics model combined with a correlation afterburner. The transverse momentum dependence of the Pratt-Bertsch HBT radii $R_{long}$, $R_{out}$, and $R_{side}$ is extracted from a three-dimensional Gaussian fit to the correlator in the longitudinal co-moving system. In the p+p case, the dependence of correlations on the charged particle multiplicity and formation time is explored and the data allows to constrain the formation time in the string fragmentation to $\tau_f \leq 0.8$ fm/c. In the Pb+Pb case, it is found that $R_{out}$ is overpredicted by nearly 50%. The LHC results are also compared to data from the STAR experiment at RHIC. For both energies we find that the calculated $R_{out}/R_{side}$ ratio is always larger than data, indicating that the emission in the model is less explosive than observed in the data.

In supersymmetric models with radiatively-driven naturalness and light higgsinos, the top squarks may lie in the 0.5- 3TeV range and thus only a fraction of natural parameter space is accessible to LHC searches. We outline the range of top squark and lightest SUSY particle masses preferred by electroweak naturalness in the standard parameter space plane. We note that the branching fraction for b-> s\gamma decay favors top squarks much heavier than 500 GeV. Such a range of top-squark mass values is in contrast to previous expectations where m(stop)<500 GeV had been considered natural. In radiative natural SUSY, top squarks decay roughly equally via t1-> bW1 and Z_{1,2} where W1 and Z_{1,2} are higgsino-like electroweak-inos. Thus, top squark pair production should yield all of t\bar{t}+\eslt, t\bar{b}+\eslt, b\bar{t}+\eslt and b\bar{b}+\eslt signatures at comparable rates. We propose that future LHC top squark searches take place within a semi-simplified model which corresponds more closely to expectations from theory.

The approximate formulae are always adopted when determining the new physics contributions to $(g-2)_{\mu}$, while clear scope of applications are always absent. This manuscript is dedicated to the comprehensive analytical results and approximations for the canonical interactions at one-loop level, which can be a useful handbook for the model builders. Here, we only collect the analytic and approximate expressions for the scalar mediator case. For the expressions of vector mediator case, they will appear in the future.

The contribution of instanton-induced effective inter-quark interactions to the baryon mass splittings was considered in the bag model. It is found that results are different from those obtained in the constituent quark model where the instanton effects are like those from one-gluon exchange. This is because in the context of the bag model calculation the one-body instanton-induced interaction has to be included.

We calculate the leading nonperturbative contributions to the effective Wilson coefficient of the four-fermion operators arising from the QCD penguin, and we demonstrate how the usual perturbative one loop contribution is augmented by nonperturbative condensates. These corrections, which are obtained by quark and gluon condensate insertions into the quark loops, enter at the next-to-leading logarithm precision. Our results indicate for the charmed quark loop that the gluon condensate contribution is quite sensitive to the momentum transfer to the quark-antiquark pair.

We study the isospin breaking in the reactions $\chi_{c1} \to \pi^0 \pi^+ \pi^-$ and $\chi_{c1} \to \pi^0 \pi^0 \eta$ and its relation to the $a_0(980) - f_0(980)$ mixing, which was measured by the BESIII Collaboration. We show that the same theoretical model previously developed to study the $\chi_{c1} \to \eta \pi^+ \pi^-$ reaction (also measured by BESIII), and further explored in the predictions to the $\eta_{c} \to \eta \pi^+ \pi^-$, can be successfully employed in the present study. We assume that the $\chi_{c1}$ behaves as an $SU(3)$ singlet to find the weight in which trios of pseudoscalars are created, followed by the final state interaction of pairs of mesons to describe how the $a_0(980)$ and $f_0(980)$ are dynamically generated, using the chiral unitary approach in coupled channels. The isospin violation is introduced through the use of different masses for the charged and neutral kaons, either in the propagators of the pairs of mesons created in the $\chi_{c1}$ decay, or in the propagators inside the $T$ matrix, constructed through the unitarization of the scattering and transition amplitudes of pairs of pseudoscalar mesons. We find that violating isospin inside the $T$ matrix makes the $\pi^0\eta \to \pi^+\pi^-$ amplitude nonzero, which gives an important contribution and also enhances the effect of the $K\bar{K}$ term. Also, we find that in the total amplitude the most important effect is the isospin breaking inside the $T$ matrix, due to the constructive sum of $\pi^0\eta \to \pi^+\pi^-$ and $K\bar{K} \to \pi^+ \pi^-$, which is essential to get a good agreement with the experimental measurement of the mixing.

The Higgs boson mass used to be the only unknown input parameter of the electroweak contributions to (g-2)_\mu\ in the Standard Model. It enters at the two-loop level in diagrams with e.g. top loops, W- or Z-exchange. We re-evaluate these contributions, providing analytic expressions and exact numerical results for the Higgs boson mass recently measured at the LHC. Our final result for the full Standard Model electroweak contributions is (153.6\pm1.0)*10^{-11}, where the remaining theory error comes from unknown three-loop contributions and hadronic uncertainties.

We construct the electromagnetic anomaly effective term for a generalized linear sigma model with two chiral nonets, one with a quark-antiquark structure, the other one with a four quark content. We compute in the leading order of this framework the decays into two photons of six pseudoscalars: $\pi_0(137)$, $\pi_0(1300)$, $\eta(547)$, $\eta(958)$, $\eta(1295)$ and $\eta(1760)$.

During the last fifteen years B_{s,d} decays, B_{s,d}^0-\bar B^0_{s,d} mixings, CP-violating asymmetries S_{\psi K_S} and S_{\psi\phi} provided the dominant information about the pattern of flavour violation within the SM and its extensions. We emphasize that in the coming years K meson physics will certainly strike back through the measurements of the branching ratios of theoretically very clean decays K^+->pi^+\nu\bar\nu and K_L->\pi^0\nu\bar\nu and improved calculations of the ratio epsilon'/epsilon=\epe. We summarize the status of K^+->pi^+\nu\bar\nu and K_L->\pi^0\nu\bar\nu within the SM and simplified NP models and update the picture of flavour violation in the Littlest Higgs model with T-parity taking all available constraints into account. But the highlight of this talk are new results on \epe from lattice QCD and large N approach that give a strong indication for a new anomaly in flavour physics, this time coming from K mesons. Indeed, \epe within the SM is found to be significantly below the data of NA48 and KTeV collaborations. Combining lattice results on the non-perturbative parameters B6 and B8 with the assumption that the SM dynamics dominates the Delta I=1/2 rule a 3 sigma anomaly in \epe emerges. Moreover, the recently derived upper bounds on B6 and B8 from large N approach increase the confidence that the found anomaly could be an important signal of NP at work. Of particular importance are the correlations between K^+->pi^+\nu\bar\nu, K_L->\pi^0\nu\bar\nu and \epe. With future precise measurements of K^+->pi^+\nu\bar\nu and K_L->\pi^0\nu\bar\nu and improved calculations of \epe they will surely provide powerful tools for selecting the favourite NP models. We illustrate this with the help of the LHT model and simplified models in which NP in K\to\pi\nu\bar\nu and \epe is governed by Z with flavour violating couplings or by a heavy Z'.

The production of several vector bosons in $\gamma\gamma$-interactions is the best place to search directly for any anomalous behavior of triple and quartic couplings. A few anomalous quartic boson operators are considered in the paper. A high precision of anomalous effects can be achieved by calculation of the lowest order electroweak corrections: one-loop corrections, real photon and $Z$-boson emission.

Dark $Z$/dark photon ($Z'$) is one candidate of dark force carrier, which helps to interpret the properties of dark matter (DM). Other than traditional studies of DM including direct detection, indirect detection and collider simulation, in this work we take flavor physics as a complementary approach to investigate the features of dark matter. We give an exact calculation of the new type of penguin diagram induced by $Z'$ which further modifies the well-known $X, Y, Z$ functions in penguin-box expansion. The measurement of rare decays $B\to K^{(*)}\mu^+\mu^-$ and $B_s\to \mu^+\mu^-$ at LHC, together with direct CP violation $\varepsilon'/\varepsilon$ in $K\to\pi \pi$ as well as $K_L\to\mu^+\mu^-$, are used to determine the parameter space. The size of coupling constant, however, is found to be $\mathcal{O}(1)$ which is much weaker than the known constraints.

Given the components of the one necessarily massless neutrino eigenstate, the other two massive states are automatically generated.

The consensus is that if the next generation $e^+ e^-$ linear collider wants to include an $e^- e^-$ option, the planning has to include it as early as possible. By doing so the extra cost would be only a small fraction of the total, and of course the physics potential would be very rewarding.

To search for possible textures of lepton mass matrices, we systematically examine flavor mixing structures which can lead to large lepton mixing angles. We find out 37 mixing patterns are consistent with experimental data, taking into account phase factors in the mixing matrices. Only six of the patterns can explain the observed data without any tuning of parameters, while the others need particular choices for the phase values. It is found that these six mixing patterns are those predicted by the models which have been proposed to account for fermion mass hierarchies. On the other hand, the others may give new flavor mixing structures of lepton mass matrices and therefore new possibilities of model construction.

We describe a general method that enables us to obtain all the singular terms of helicity amplitudes of n-parton processes at one loop. The algorithm uses helicity amplitudes at tree level and simple color algebra. We illustrate the method by calculating the singular part of the one loop helicity amplitudes of all $ 2\to 3$ parton subprocesses. The results are used to derive the soft gluon limit of the cross sections of all $2\to 4$ parton scattering subprocesses which provide a useful initial condition for the angular ordering approximation to coherent multiple soft gluon emission, incorporated in existing Monte Carlo simulation programs.

In these proceedings we explore the use of (non-linear) electroweak chiral Lagrangians for the description of possible beyond the Standard Model strong dynamics in the electroweak sector. Experimentally one observes an approximate electroweak symmetry breaking pattern $SU(2)_L\times SU(2)_R/SU(2)_{L+R}$. Quantum Chromodynamics shows a similar chiral structure and, in spite of the differences (in the electroweak theory $SU(2)_L\times U(1)_Y$ is gauged), it has served for years as a guide for this type of studies. Examples of one-loop computations in the low-energy effective theory and the theory including the first vector and axial-vector resonances are provided, yielding, respectively, predictions for $\gamma\gamma\to Z_LZ_L,W^+_LW^-_L$ and the oblique parameters $S$ and $T$.

The Large Hadron Electron Collider and the Future Circular Collider-hadron electron with high center-of-mass energy and luminosity allow to better understand the Standard Model and to examine new physics beyond the Standard Model in the electroweak sector. Multi-boson processes permit for a measurement of the gauge boson self-interactions of the Standard Model that can be used to determine the anomalous gauge boson couplings. For this purpose, we present a study of the process $ep \rightarrow \nu_{e} \gamma \gamma j$ at the Large Hadron Electron Collider with center-of-mass energies of 1.30, 1.98 TeV and at the Future Circular Collider-hadron electron with center-of-mass energies of 7.07, 10 TeV to interpret the anomalous quartic $WW\gamma\gamma$ gauge couplings using a model independent way in the framework of effective field theory. We obtain the sensitivity limits at $95\%$ Confidence Level on 13 different anomalous couplings arising from dimension-8 operators. The best limit in $f_{Mi}/\Lambda^{4}$ ($i=0,1,2,3,4,5,7$) parameters is obtained for $f_{M2}/\Lambda^{4}$ parameter while the best sensitivity derived on $f_{Ti}/\Lambda^{4}$ ($i=0,1,2,5,6,7$) parameters is obtained for $f_{T5}/\Lambda^{4}$. In addition, this study is the first report on the anomalous quartic couplings determined by effective Lagrangians at $ep$ colliders.

We study the small-$x$ asymptotics of the flavor non-singlet T-odd leading-twist quark transverse momentum dependent parton distributions (TMDs), the Sivers and Boer-Mulders functions. While the leading eikonal small-$x$ asymptotics of the quark Sivers function is given by the spin-dependent odderon, we are interested in revisiting the sub-eikonal correction considered by us earlier. We first simplify the expressions for both TMDs at small Bjorken $x$ and then construct small-$x$ evolution equations for the resulting operators in the large-$N_c$ limit, with $N_c$ the number of quark colors. For both TMDs, the evolution equations resum all powers of the double-logarithmic parameter $\alpha_s \, \ln^2 (1/x)$, where $\alpha_s$ is the strong coupling constant, which is assumed to be small. Solving these evolution equations numerically (for the Sivers function) and analytically (for the Boer-Mulders function) we arrive at the following leading small-$x$ asymptotics of these TMDs at large $N_c$: \begin{align} f_{1 \: T}^{\perp \: NS} (x \ll 1 ,k_T^2) & = C_O (x, k_T^2) \, \frac{1}{x} + C_1 (x, k_T^2) \, \left( \frac{1}{x} \right)^{3.4 \, \sqrt{\frac{\alpha_s \, N_c}{4 \pi}}} , \notag \\ h_1^{\perp \, \textrm{NS}} (x \ll 1, k_T^2) & = C (x, k_T^2) \left( \frac{1}{x} \right)^{-1}. \notag \end{align} The functions $C_O (x, k_T^2)$, $C_1 (x, k_T^2)$, and $C (x, k_T^2)$ can be readily obtained in our formalism: they are mildly $x$-dependent and do not strongly affect the power-of-$x$ asymptotics shown above. The function $C_O$, along with the $1/x$ factor, arises from the odderon exchange. For the sub-eikonal contribution to the quark Sivers function (the term with $C_1$), our result shown above supersedes the one obtained in our previous work due to the new contributions identified recently.

We discuss extensions of the Standard Model through extending the electroweak gauge symmetry. An extended electroweak symmetry requires a list of extra fermionic and scalar states. The former is necessary to maintain cancellation of gauge anomalies, and largely fixed by the symmetry embedding itself. The latter is usually considered quite arbitrary, so long as a vacuum structure admitting the symmetry breaking is allowed. Anomaly cancellation may be used to link the three families of quarks and leptons together, given a perspective on flavor physics. It is illustrated lately that the kind of models may also have the so-called little Higgs mechanism incorporated. This more or less fixes the scalar sector and take care of the hierarchy problem, making such models of extended electroweak symmetries quite appealing candidates as TeV scale effective field theories.

Precision flavour observables play an important role in the interpretation of results at the LHC in terms of models of new physics. We present the result for the one-loop Z penguin in generic extensions of the standard model which exhibit exact perturbative unitarity. We use Slavnov-Taylor identities to study the implications of unitarity on the renormalisation of the Z penguin, and derive a manifestly finite result that depends on a reduced set of physical couplings.

These generalized distribution amplitudes describe the soft (non-perturbative) part of the process $\gamma^*\gamma \to \pi\pi$ in the region where the c.m. energy is much smaller than the photon virtuality. They can also be used in the analysis of exclusive processes such as $\gamma^* p \to p + 2\pi, 3\pi$ etc.

The strange and antistrange quark distributions of the nucleon are less constrained by experimental data than the non-strange quark sea. The combination of light quark sea distributions, $\Delta(x)=\dbar(x)+\ubar(x)-s(x)-\sbar(x)$, originates mainly from non-perturbative processes and can be calculated using non-perturbative models of the nucleon. We have calculated $\Delta(x)$ using the meson cloud model, which, when combined with the relatively well known non-strange light antiquark distributions obtained from global analysis of available experimental data, enables us to make new estimates of the total strange sea distributions of the nucleon and the strange sea suppression factor.

We demonstrate that the spectacular structures discovered recently in various experiments and named as $X$, $Y$ and $Z$ states cannot be purely kinematic effects. Their existence necessarily calls for nearby poles in the $S$--matrix and they therefore qualify as states. We propose a way to distinguishing kinematic cusp effects from genuine $S$--matrix poles: the kinematic threshold cusp cannot produce a narrow peak in the invariant mass distribution in the elastic channel in contrast with a genuine $S$--matrix pole.

No mass ratio appears in the calculation. theta\_c occurs a priori for both quark species, and, showing that one recovers the standard dependence of leptonic and semi-leptonic decays of pseudoscalar mesons, we advocate, like for neutrinos and charged leptons, for a symmetrical treatment of u and d-type quarks.

In this paper we simultaneously explain the excesses of the 750 GeV diphoton, muon g-2 and $h\to \mu\tau$ in an extension of the two-Higgs-doublet model (2HDM) with additional vector-like fermions and a CP-odd scalar singlet ($P$) which is identified as the 750 GeV resonance. This 750 GeV resonance has a mixing with the CP-odd scalar ($A$) in 2HDM, which leads to a coupling between $P$ and the SM particles as well as a coupling between $A$ and the vector-like fermions. Such a mixing and couplings are strongly constrained by $\tau\to\mu\gamma$, muon g-2 and the 750 GeV diphoton data. We scan over the parameter space and find that such an extension can simultaneously account for the observed excesses of 750 GeV diphoton, muon g-2 and $h\to \mu\tau$. The 750 GeV resonance decays in exotic modes, such as $P\to hA$, $P\to HZ$, $P\to HA$ and $P\to W^\pm H^\mp$, and its width can be dozens of GeV and is sensitive to the mixing angle.

We study the problem of determination of the sign of Delta m^2_{31}, or the neutrino mass hierarchy, through observations of atmospheric neutrinos in future detectors. We consider two proposed detector types : (a) Megaton sized water Cerenkov detectors, which can measure the survival rates of nu_\mu + \bar{\nu}_\mu and nu_e + \bar{\nu}_e and (b) 100 kton sized magnetized iron detectors, which can measure the survival rates of \nu_\mu and \bar{\nu}_\mu. For energies and path-lengths relevant to atmospheric neutrinos, these rates obtain significant matter contributions from P_{\mu e}, P_{\mu \mu} and P_{ee}, leading to an appreciable sensitivity to the hierarchy. We do a binned \chi^2 analysis of simulated data in these two types of detectors which includes the effect of smearing in neutrino energy and direction and incorporates detector efficiencies and relevant statistical, theoretical and systematic errors. We also marginalize the \chi^2 over the allowed ranges of neutrino parameters in order to accurately account for their uncertainties. Finally, we compare the performance of both types of detectors vis a vis the hierarchy determination.

From the analysis of the lattice data on fluctuations and correlations of charm we conclude that open charm meson and baryon-like excitations exist above the QCD crossover temperature, and in fact are the dominant degrees of freedom for thermodynamics in the vicinity of the transition. Charm quarks become the dominant charm degrees of freedom only for temperatures T>200 MeV.

We discuss two production mechanisms of the $J^{PC}=1^{-+}$ exotic meson, hadroproduction, using pion beams and photoproduction. We show that the ratio of exotic to non-exotic, in particular the $a_2$, meson production cross sections is expected to be by a factor of 5 to 10 larger, in photoproduction then in hadroproduction. Furthermore we show that the low-t photoproduction of exotic meson is enhanced as compared to hadronic production. This findings support the simple quark picture in which exotic meson production is predicted to be enhanced when the beam is a virtual $Q\bar Q$ pair with a spin-1 (photon) rather then with a spin-0 (pion).

We present precise predictions for the production of a Higgs boson in association with a hadronic jet and a $\mathrm{W}$ boson at hadron colliders. The behaviour of QCD corrections are studied for fiducial cross sections and distributions of the charged gauge boson and jet-related observables. The inclusive process (at least one resolved jet) and the exclusive process (exactly one resolved jet) are contrasted and discussed. The inclusion of QCD corrections up to $\mathcal{O}(\alpha_{\text{s}}^3)$ leads to a clear stabilisation of the predictions and contributes substantially to a reduction of remaining theoretical uncertainties.

We discuss an extension of the minimal Higgs triplet model with a classically conformal invariance and with a gauged $U(1)_{B-L}$ symmetry. In our scenario, tiny masses of neutrinos are generated by a hybrid contribution from the type-I and type-II seesaw mechanisms. The shape of the Higgs potential at low energies is determined by solving one-loop renormalization group equations for all the scalar quartic couplings with a set of initial values of parameters at the Planck scale. We find a successful set of the parameters in which the $U(1)_{B-L}$ symmetry is radiatively broken via the Coleman-Weinberg mechanism at the ${\cal O}$(10) TeV scale, and the electroweak symmetry breaking is also triggered by the $U(1)_{B-L}$ breaking. Under this configuration, we can predict various low energy observables such as the mass spectrum of extra Higgs bosons, and the mixing angles. Furthermore, using these predicted mass parameters, we obtain upper limits on Yukawa couplings among an isospin triplet Higgs field and lepton doublets from lepton flavor violation data.

After subtraction of the rho--meson component, we calculate the distributions of charge and magnetization in coordinate space, which can be interpreted as the effects of the pion cloud. We find that the charge distribution of this pion cloud effect peaks at distances of about 0.3 fm. Furthermore, we calculate the contribution of the pion cloud to the isovector charges and radii of the nucleon.

We present a unified picture of flavor and electroweak symmetry breaking at the TeV scale. Flavor and Higgs bosons arise as pseudo-Goldstone modes in a nonlinear sigma model. Explicit collective symmetry breaking yields stable vacuum expectation values and masses protected at one loop by the little-Higgs mechanism. The coupling to the fermions through a Yukawa lagrangian with a U(1) global flavor symmetry generates well-definite mass textures that correctly reproduce the mass hierarchies and mixings of quarks and leptons. The model is more constrained than usual little- Higgs models because of bounds on weak and flavor physics. The main experimental signatures testable at the LHC are a rather large mass mh0 = 317+/-80 GeV for the (lightest) Higgs boson and a characteristic spectrum of new bosons and fermions with masses around the TeV scale.

Sensitive dark matter (DM) experiments can be well exploited beyond their designated targets, allowing to explore a breadth of physics topics. As we discuss, future large direct DM detection experiments constitute impressive telescopes, complementary to conventional neutrino detectors. This opens a new window into neutrino astronomy, including puzzles such as the origin of supermassive black holes and topics like supernova forecast. Furthermore, DM experiments can act as effective instruments for multimessenger astronomy. This is well illustrated by exploration of relativistic axions from transient astrophysical sources (e.g. axion star explosions), providing novel signatures as well as possible insights into the axion potential.

We propose the use of 1-jettiness, a global event shape, for exclusive single jet production in lepton-nucleus deep inelastic scattering (DIS). We derive a factorization formula, using the Soft-Collinear Effective Theory, differential in the transverse momentum and rapidity of the jet and the 1-jettiness event shape. It provides a quantitative measure of the shape of the final-state QCD radiation in the presence of the hard jet, providing a useful powerful probe of QCD and nuclear physics. For example, one expects differences in the observed pattern of QCD radiation between large and small nuclei and these can be quantified by the 1-jettiness event shape. Numerical results are given for this new DIS event shape at leading twist with resummation at the next-to-next-to-leading logarithmic (NNLL) level of accuracy, for a variety of nuclear targets. Such studies would be ideal at a future EIC or LHeC electron-ion collider, where a range of nuclear targets are planned.

The measurement of the $B\to X_s\gamma$ process gives important constraints on physics related to charged Higgs bosons ($H^\pm$). In 2-Higgs Doublet Models (2HDMs) with a softly-broken $Z_2$ symmetry, a light $H^\pm$ scenario, in which $H^\pm$ can be produced via the top decay, is possible in two of four types of Yukawa interactions (the so-called Type-I and Type-X). In these types of 2HDMs, the $H^\pm \to \tau^\pm \nu$ decay mode is dominant in wide regions of the parameter space. In this report, we discuss the other possibility of a light charged Higgs boson scenario in 3-Higgs-Doublet Models (3HDMs) based on the results obtained in Ref. [1]. We show that charged Higgs bosons can mainly decay into $cb$ without contradiction with the $B\to X_s\gamma$ data and the direct searches for charged Higgs bosons at the LHC, and this scenario cannot be realized in the 2HDMs.

The forward elastic scattering of light on light, {\em i.e.,} the reaction $\gamma+\gamma \to \gamma+\gamma$ in the forward direction, is analyzed utilizing real analytic amplitudes. We calculate $\rho_{\gamma \gamma}$, the ratio of the real to the imaginary portion of the forward scattering amplitude, by fitting the total $\gamma \gamma$ cross section data in the high energy region $5 GeV \le \sqrt s \le 130 $ GeV, assuming a cross section that rises asymptotically as $\ln^2 s$. We then compare $\rho_{\gamma\gamma}$ to $\rho_{nn}$, the ratio of the even portions of the $pp$ and $\pbar p$ forward scattering amplitudes, as well as to $\rho_{\gamma p}$, the $\rho$ value for Compton scattering. Within errors, we find that the three $\rho$-values in the c.m.s. energy region $5 GeV \le \sqrt s \le 130$ GeV are the same, as predicted by a factorization theorem of Block and Kadailov.

Within errors, we find that the three $\rho$-values in the c.m.s. energy region $5 GeV \le \sqrt s \le 130$ GeV are the same, as predicted by a factorization theorem of Block and Kadailov.

CP asymmetry in $B \to \phi K_S$ decay is studied in a special context of supersymmetry theories, in which the charginos play an important role. We find that in addition to the gluino, chargino can also make large contributions to CP asymmetry in $B \to \phi K_S$ decay. After considering the constraints from $B \to J/psi K_S$ decay, we study three special scenarios: (a). Large mixing on left-handed charm and top squarks (LL mixing); (b). Large mixing on right-handed charm and top squarks (RR mixing); (c). Large mixing on left-handed charm and top squarks plus right-handed charm and top squarks (LL + RR mixing). We show quantitatively that because of large squark mixing within second and third generations, an $\mathcal O$(1) effect on CP violation in $B \to \phi K_S$ is possible.

Gauging the flavor (family, generation, horizontal) index of the chiral fermion fields of the Standard model, for anomaly freedom extended by three sterile right-handed neutrino fields, results in asymptotically free, {\it bona fide} nonconfining $SU(3)_f$ quantum flavor dynamics. Approximate nonperturbative strong-coupling solutions of the corresponding Schwinger-Dyson (SD) equation for fermion self-energies give rise to the complete flavor symmetry breaking by : (1) Three huge Majorana masses of sterile right-handed neutrinos. (2) Three exponentially light Dirac masses common to all fermion sorts in a family. Masses of charged leptons and quarks are further distinguished from Dirac neutrino masses by the weak hypercharge contributions to the universal $SU(3)_f$ kernel of the SD equation, free of unknown parameters. The $SU(3)_f$ dynamics itself thus gives the neutrino mass spectrum in the seesaw form.

In this work, we delve into the realm of quantum chromodynamics (QCD) by calculating twist-4 chiral-even generalized parton distributions (GPDs), within the context of the light-front quark-diquark model (LFQDM), focusing specifically on the intriguing case of zero skewness. To shed light on the behavior of twist-4 chiral-even GPDs, we present comprehensive two-dimensional ($2$-D) and 3-dimensional ($3$-D) plots, mapping their dependence on the longitudinal momentum fraction ($x$) and the momentum transfer ($t$). Furthermore, our research looks into the profound connection between twist-4 chiral-even GPDs and other distribution functions (DFs), including parton distribution functions (PDFs), transverse momentum-dependent parton distributions (TMDs) and generalized transverse-momentum dependent parton distributions (GTMDs). Additionally, our investigation extends to the exploration of related higher twist form factors (FFs), which play a pivotal role in elucidating the internal structure of hadrons. To provide significant insights into the partons spatial distribution, we have also yielded impact parameter GPD plots.

Oscillations of atmospheric and solar neutrinos inside the earth can undergo parametric enhancement when neutrino trajectories cross the core of the earth. In this paper we review the parametric resonance of neutrino oscillations in matter. In particular, physical interpretation of the effect and the prospects of its experimental observation in oscillations of solar and atmospheric neutrinos in the earth are discussed.

The present knowledge on the Higgs-like boson discovered at the LHC is summarized. The data accumulated so far are consistent with the Standard Model predictions and put interesting constraints on alternative scenarios of electroweak symmetry breaking. The measured couplings to gauge bosons and third-generation fermions indicate that a Higgs particle has indeed been found. More precise data are needed to clarify whether it is the unique Higgs boson of the Standard Model or the first member of a new variety of dynamical (either elementary or composite) fields.

According to the theory of quantum electrodynamics, photon-photon scattering can take place via exchange of virtual electron-positron pairs. Effectively, the interaction can be formulated in terms of non-linear corrections to Maxwell's equations, and hence may be treated by classical non-linear electrodynamics. Due to the strong electromagnetic fields needed to reach any noticeable effect, photon-photon scattering has not yet been observed experimentally, but recent improvements in laser technology have increased the possibility of direct detection. A verification of the phenomena would be of great scientific value as a confirmation of quantum electrodynamics. In this thesis the possibility of direct detection of elastic photon-photon scattering through four-wave coupling is investigated, both for current and future systems. It is shown how three colliding laser pulses satisfying certain matching conditions, can generate scattered radiation in a fourth resonant direction. The interaction is modeled, and the number of scattered photons is estimated for optimized configurations of incoming pulses, both for the Vulcan laser at the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory as well as for the planned XFEL at DESY. An experiment using the Vulcan laser is predicted to produce 22 scattered photons per shot, an amount which is definitely detectable. The usefulness of the XFEL highly depends on future developments in laser technology, but a realistic estimation gives a result of 30000 scattered photons per second.

We study the production of three gauge bosons at the next generation of linear $e^+e^-$ colliders operating in the $\gamma\gamma$ mode. The processes $\gamma\gamma \rightarrow W^+W^-V$ ($V=Z^0$, or $\gamma$) can provide direct information about the quartic gauge-boson couplings. We analyze the total cross section as well as several dynamical distributions of the final state particles including the effect of kinematical cuts. We find out that a linear $e^+e^-$ machine operating in the $\gamma\gamma$ mode will produce 5--10 times more three-gauge-boson states compared to the standard $e^+e^-$ mode at high energies.

We study the implications of non-standard Higgs Yukawa couplings to light quarks on Higgs-portal dark matter phenomenology. Saturating the present experimental bounds on up-quark, down-quark, or strange-quark Yukawa couplings, the predicted direct dark matter detection scattering rate can increase by up to four orders of magnitude. The effect on the dark matter annihilation cross section, on the other hand, is subleading unless the dark matter is very light -- a scenario that is already excluded by measurements of the Higgs invisible decay width. We investigate the expected size of corrections in multi-Higgs-doublet models with natural flavor conservation, the type-II two-Higgs-doublet model, the Giudice-Lebedev model of light quark masses, minimal flavor violation new physics models, Randall-Sundrum, and composite Higgs models. We find that an enhancement in the dark matter scattering rate of an order of magnitude is possible. Finally, we point out that a discovery of Higgs-portal dark matter could lead to interesting bounds on the light-quark Yukawa couplings.

In brane world scenarios the Friedmann equation is modified, resulting in an increased expansion at early times. This has important effects on cosmological phase transitions which we investigate, elucidating significant differences to the standard case. First order phase transitions require a higher nucleation rate to complete; baryogenesis and particle abundances could be suppressed. Topological defect evolution is also affected, though the current defect densities are largely unchanged. In particular, the increased expansion does not solve the usual monopole and domain wall problems.

Motivated by recent results from the LHC experiments, we analyze Higgs couplings in two Higgs doublet models with an approximate PQ symmetry. Models of this kind can naturally accommodate sizable modifications to Higgs decay patterns while leaving production at hadron colliders untouched. Near the decoupling limit, we integrate out the heavy doublet to obtain the effective couplings of the SM-like Higgs and express these couplings in a physically transparent way, keeping all orders in (m_h/m_H) for small PQ breaking. Considering supersymmetric models, we show that the effects on the Higgs couplings are considerably constrained.

This method includes relativistic corrections which are important especially for the higher orbital excited states. For the semi-leptonic decay channels with electron as the final lepton, we get the branching ratios $\mathcal{B}[B_c \rightarrow \eta_{c2}e\bar{\nu}_e] = 5.9^{-0.8}_{+1.0}\times 10^{-4}$, $\mathcal{B}[B_c \rightarrow \psi_2e\bar{\nu}_e]=1.5^{-0.2}_{+0.3}\times 10^{-4}$, and $\mathcal{B}[B_c \rightarrow \psi_3e\bar{\nu}_e]=3.5^{-0.6}_{+0.8}\times 10^{-4}$. The transition form factors, forward-backward asymmetries, and lepton spectra in these processes are also presented.

We extend our previous treatment of $\gamma^*p$ cross section based on Gribov's hypothesis to the case of photon-photon scattering. With the aid of two parameters, determined from experimental data, we separate the interactions into two categories corresponding to short ("soft") and long ("hard") distance processes. The photon-photon cross section, thus, receives contributions from three sectors, soft-soft, hard-hard and hard-soft. The additive quark model is used to describe the soft-soft sector, pQCD the hard-hard sector, while the hard-soft sector is determined by relating it to the $\gamma^{*}$p system. We calculate and display the behaviour of the total photon-photon cross section and it's various components and polarizations for different values of energy and virtuality of the two photons, and discuss the significance of our results.

We extend our previous treatment of $\gamma^*p$ cross section based on Gribov's hypothesis to the case of photon-photon scattering. With the aid of two parameters, determined from experimental data, we separate the interactions into two categories corresponding to short ("soft") and long ("hard") distance processes. The photon-photon cross section, thus, receives contributions from three sectors, soft-soft, hard-hard and hard-soft. The additive quark model is used to describe the soft-soft sector, pQCD the hard-hard sector, while the hard-soft sector is determined by relating it to the $\gamma^{*}$p system. We calculate and display the behaviour of the total photon-photon cross section and it's various components and polarizations for different values of energy and virtuality of the two photons, and discuss the significance of our results.

We consider the interaction of the partonic fluctuation of a scalar ``photon'' with an external color field to calculate the leading and next-to-leading order gluon distribution of the proton following the work done by Dosch-Hebecker-Metz-Pirner. We relate these gluon distributions to the short and long distance behavior of the cross section of an adjoint dipole scattering off a proton. The leading order result is a constant while the next-to-leading order result shows a ln(1/x) enhancement at small x. To get numerical results for the gluon distributions at the initial scale Q^2_0=1.8 GeV^2, we compute the adjoint dipole-proton cross section in the loop-loop correlation model. Quark distributions at the same initial scale are parametrized according to Regge theory. We evolve quark and gluon distributions to higher Q^2 values using the DGLAP equation and compute charm and proton structure functions in the small-x region for different Q^2 values.

Supersymmetric models with a small neutralino-chargino mass difference, and as a result metastable charginos, have been a popular topic of investigation in collider phenomenology, e.g. in anomaly-mediated models of supersymmetry breaking. Recently, the absence of any supersymmetric signal at the 8 TeV LHC data has led to significant interest in the so-called Natural SUSY models with light higgsinos. These models also have a naturally small neutralino-chargino mass difference. However, we show here that when relevant indirect constraints from results at the LHC and elsewhere are applied, this possibility is heavily constrained within the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM): massive metastable higgsinos are not a signature of Natural SUSY.

We have calculated the leading order amplitude of hard diffractive electroproduction of two pions in lepton nucleon scattering. At the leading twist level a pion pair can be produced only in an isospin one or zero state. We have shown that isoscalar states are produced dominantly for x_{Bj}>0.3 and with an invariant mass of the two pions close to the threshold (S-wave) and in the f_2 resonance region (D-wave). These isoscalar pion pairs are dominantly produced by two collinear gluons. Comparing the production of charged and neutral pion pairs as a function of x_{Bj} and m_pipi one can get information about the gluonic component of two-pion distribution amplitudes.

We obtain the partial-wave unitarity constraints on the lowest-dimension effective operators which generate anomalous quartic gauge couplings but leave the triple gauge couplings unaffected. We consider operator expansions with linear and nonlinear realizations of the electroweak symmetry and explore the multidimensional parameter space of the coefficients of the relevant operators: 20 dimension-eight operators in the linear expansion and 5 ${\cal O}(p^4)$ operators in the derivative expansion. We study two-to-two scattering of electroweak gauge bosons and Higgs bosons taking into account all coupled channels and all possible helicity amplitudes for the $J=0,1$ partial waves. In general, the bounds degrade by factors of a few when several operator coefficients are considered non-vanishing simultaneously. However, this requires to consider constraints from both $J=0$ and $J=1$ partial waves for some sets of operators.

We study the charged cosmic rays arising from the slow decay of gravitino dark matter within supersymmetric scenarios with trilinear R-parity violation. It is shown that operators of the LLE type can very well account for the recent anomalies in cosmic ray electron and positron data reported by PAMELA, ATIC and Fermi LAT, without violating any other bounds. This scenario will soon be tested by the Fermi LAT data on diffuse gamma ray emission.

If future neutrino oscillation experiments show that the neutrino mass spectrum is with normal ordering, m1 < m2 < m3, and the searches for neutrinoless double beta-decay with sensitivity to values of the effective Majorana mass |<m>| > 0.01 eV give negative results, the next frontier in the quest for neutrinoless double beta-decay will correspond to |<m>| ~ 0.001 eV. Assuming that massive neutrinos are Majorana particles and their exchange is the dominant mechanism generating neutrinoless double beta-decay, we analise the conditions under which |<m>|, in the case of three neutrino mixing and neutrino mass spectrum with normal ordering, would satisfy |<m>| > 0.001 eV. We consider the specific cases of i) normal hierarchical neutrino mass spectrum, ii) of relatively small value of the CHOOZ angle theta13 as well as iii) the general case of spectrum with normal ordering, partial hierarchy and a value of theta13 close to the existing upper limit. We study the ranges of the lightest neutrino mass m1 and/or of sin^2 theta13, for which |<m>|> 0.001 eV and discuss the phenomenological implications of such scenarios. We provide also an estimate of |<m>| when the three neutrino masses and the neutrino mixing originate from neutrino mass term of Majorana type for the (left-handed) flavour neutrinos and m1 Ue1^2 + m2 U_e2^2 + m3 Ue3^2 =0, but there does not exist a symmetry which forbids the neutrinoless double beta-decay.

The behavior of light scalar dark matter has been a subject of much interest recently as it can lead to interesting small scale behavior. In particular, this can lead to the formation of gravitationally bound clumps for these light scalars, including axions. In Ref. [1] we analyzed the behavior of these clumps, assuming spherical symmetry, allowing for both attractive and repulsive self-interactions. There is a maximum allowed mass for the clumps in the case of attractive interactions, and a minimum radius for the clumps in the case of repulsive interactions, which is saturated at large mass. Here we extend this work to include non-spherically symmetric clumps. Since the system tries to re-organize into a BEC ground state, we consider configurations with a conserved non-zero angular momentum, and construct minimum energy configurations at fixed particle number and fixed angular momentum. We find generalizations of the previous spherically symmetric results. In particular, while there is still a maximum mass for the attractive case, its value increases with angular momentum. Also, the minimum radius in the repulsive case is raised to higher radii. We clarify how a recent claim in the literature of an upper bound on angular momentum is due to inaccurate numerics. In a forthcoming paper we shall investigate the possibility of resonance of axion clumps into both visible and hidden sector photons, and analyze how the altered mass and radius from non-zero angular momentum affects the resonance.

Forward $J/\psi$ production and suppression in high energy proton-nucleus collisions can be an important probe of gluon saturation. In an earlier work we studied this process in the Color Glass Condensate framework and showed that using the Glauber approach to extrapolate the dipole cross section of a proton to a nucleus leads to results closer to experimental data than previous calculations in this framework. Here we investigate the centrality dependence of the nuclear suppression in this model and show a comparison of our results with recent LHC data.

The $\sigma$ resonance was observed as a conspicuous $\pi^+\pi^-$ peak in hadronic decays like $J/\psi\to \pi^+\pi^-\omega$ or $D^+\to\pi^+\pi^-\pi^+$. The phase of the $\sigma\to\pi^+\pi^-$ amplitude, extracted from production data within the conventional isobar model, is assumed to coincide with that in $\pi\pi$ elastic scattering. We check the validity of this assumption by using Lehmann-Symanzik-Zimmermann (LSZ) reduction and unitarity. The rescattering effects in the final three-particle states are shown to generate a correction to the phase given by a naive application of Watson theorem. We briefly discuss the implications of this result for the pole determination from production data.

The statistical significance that characterizes a discrepancy between a measurement and theoretical prediction is usually calculated assuming that the statistical and systematic uncertainties are known. Many types of systematic uncertainties are, however, estimated on the basis of approximate procedures and thus the values of the assigned errors are themselves uncertain. Here the impact of the uncertainty {\it on the assigned uncertainty} is investigated in the context of the muon $g-2$ anomaly. The significance of the observed discrepancy between the Standard Model prediction of the muon's anomalous magnetic moment and measured values are shown to decrease substantially if the relative uncertainty in the uncertainty assigned to the Standard Model prediction exceeds around 30\%. The reduction in sensitivity increases for higher significance, so that establishing a $5\sigma$ effect will require not only small uncertainties but the uncertainties themselves must be estimated accurately to correspond to one standard deviation.

Recent lattice studies of near-conformal strong dynamics suggest the existence of a light scalar. This provides motivation to consider a simple Hamiltonian-based bound-state model where the pseudoscalar, scalar, vector and axial-vector states are treated on an equal footing. The model interpolates between the non-relativistic limit and the highly relativistic chiral limit, where the pseudoscalar mass drops to zero. The fermion mass becomes purely dynamical at this point. When the gauge coupling is constant over a moderate range of scales the scalar becomes significantly lighter than the spin 1 states as the chiral limit is approached. We relate this result to the behavior of the form factors of the respective states and their decay constants. In the conformal limit of the model all masses vanish and the theory is characterized by scaling dimensions.

The model interpolates between the non-relativistic limit and the highly relativistic chiral limit, where the pseudoscalar mass drops to zero. The fermion mass becomes purely dynamical at this point. When the gauge coupling is constant over a moderate range of scales the scalar becomes significantly lighter than the spin 1 states as the chiral limit is approached. We relate this result to the behavior of the form factors of the respective states and their decay constants. In the conformal limit of the model all masses vanish and the theory is characterized by scaling dimensions.

We assess transport properties of heavy quarks in the Quark-Gluon Plasma (QGP) that show a strong non-perturbative behavior. A T-matrix approach based on a potential taken from lattice QCD hints at the presence of heavy-quark (HQ) resonant scattering with an increasing strength as the temperature, $T$, reaches the critical temperature, $T_c \simeq 170 \; \MeV$ for deconfinement from above. The implementation of HQ resonance scattering along with a hadronization via quark coalescence under the conditions of the plasma created in heavy-ion collisions has been shown to correctly describe both the nuclear modification factor, $R_{AA}$, and the elliptic flow, $v_2$, of single electrons at RHIC and have correctly predicted the $R_{AA}$ of D mesons at LHC energy.

The global fit of the Standard Model predictions to electroweak precision data, which has been routinely performed in the past decades by several groups, led to the prediction of the top quark and the Higgs boson masses before their respective discoveries. With the measurement of the Higgs boson mass at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) in 2012 by the ATLAS and CMS collaborations, the last free parameter of the Standard Model of particle physics has been fixed, and the global electroweak fit can be used to test the full internal consistency of the electroweak sector of the Standard Model and constrain models beyond. In this article, we review the current state-of-the-art theoretical calculations, as well as the precision measurements performed at the LHC, and interpret them within the context of the global electroweak fit. Special focus is drawn in the impact of the Higgs boson mass on the fit.

Classical transport theory for colored particles is investigated and employed to derive the hard thermal loops of QCD. A formal construction of phase-space for color degrees of freedom is presented. The gauge invariance of the non-Abelian Vlasov equations is verified and used as a guiding principle in our approximation scheme.We then derive the generating functional of hard thermal loops from a constraint satisfied at leading-order by the color current. This derivation is more direct than alternative ones based on perturbative quantum field theory, and shows that hard thermal effects in hot QCD are essentially {\it classical}. As an illustration, we analyze color polarization in the QCD plasma.

By combining NRQCD factorization and collinear factorization, we compute a series of relativistic corrections for $J/\psi$ hadroproduction to all orders in $v^2$ at large $p_T$ limit. The $v^2$ expansion converges well for all channels. We find that the ratio of relativistic correction term to the corresponding leading term is independent of kinematic variables for any channel, which generalizes the proportional relations found in previous works to all orders.

This includes both the double-Compton scattering real-emission contribution as well as the virtual Compton scattering part. When combined with the recent analytic result for the pair-production cross section, the complete $\alpha^3$ cross section is now known. Both the next-to-leading order calculation as well as the pair-production cross section are computed using modern multiloop calculation techniques, where cut diagrams are decomposed into a set of master integrals that are then computed using differential equations.

The theta-vacuum effects make the chiral transition sharper. For large theta-vacuum angle the chiral transition becomes first order even if the quark number chemical potential is zero, when the entanglement coupling between the chiral condensate and the Polyakov loop is taken into account. We finally propose a way of circumventing the sign problem on lattice QCD with finite theta.

A pseudoscalar inflaton $\varphi$, coupled to the topological charge density $F\tilde{F}$ of a non-Abelian sector, can decay to gauge bosons ($\varphi\to g g $), which may thermalize rapidly. The friction felt by $\varphi$ is then increased by non-Abelian "strong sphalerons", leading to a self-amplifying process that can efficiently heat up the medium. We determine a lower bound for the gravitational wave production rate from such a process, originating via hydrodynamic fluctuations and particle collisions, in terms of a minimal number of parameters. Only a moderate fraction of energy density is converted to gravitational waves, suggesting that non-Abelian models may avoid the overproduction observed in some Abelian cases.

We study the incoherent multiple scattering effects on heavy meson production in the backward rapidity region of p+A collisions within the generalized high-twist factorization formalism. We calculate explicitly the double scattering contributions to the heavy meson differential cross sections by taking into account both initial-state and final-state interactions, and find that these corrections are positive. We further evaluate the nuclear modification factor for muons that come form the semi-leptonic decays of heavy flavor mesons. Phenomenological applications in d+Au collisions at a center-of-mass energy $\sqrt{s}=200$ GeV at RHIC and in p+Pb collisions at $\sqrt{s}=5.02$ TeV at the LHC are presented. We find that incoherent multiple scattering can describe rather well the observed nuclear enhancement in the intermediate $p_T$ region for such reactions.

It is pointed out that an agreement of the one particle energy spectrum of the cosmic background radiation (CMBR) with Plank distribution of 2.725 [K] does not give a strong constraint on the coherence length of CMBR if the mean free path of CMBR is very long. The coherence length in this situation is estimated as a few times of $k_BT$. Due to this finite coherence length, the attenuation length of ultra-high energy cosmic rays (UHECR) is reduced in the $\Delta $ resonance region,i.e., around $10^{20}$ [eV]. The small attenuation length makes the suppression of the flux of cosmic rays in this energy region less prominent than the naive estimation

Standard radiation zeros arise from the factorization properties of tree-level amplitudes involving a massless photon and can occur when all charged particles in the initial and final state have the same sign. We investigate how several different processes involving new scalar particles beyond the standard model may exhibit radiation zeros and how this structure might be exploited to probe their electromagnetic structure. We focus on (i) unnoticed aspects of angular zeros in the process e- + e- --> Delta-- + gamma for doubly charged Higgs boson (or any bilepton) production and (ii) the process gamma + e- --> q + S/V for scalar (S) or vector (V) leptoquarks (LQs). We also discuss how factorized amplitudes and radiation zeros may appear in the gauge boson fusion production of non-conjugate leptoquark pairs via gamma + W --> S_i + S_j* in high energy ee reactions and how the zeros affect the production cross-sections for various types of scalar leptoquarks.

Recently it has been suggested that thermal bremsstrahlung emission, when it decouples prior to recombination, creates an excess over the Planck cosmic microwave background spectrum at sub-GHz frequencies. Remarkable by itself, this would also explain a long-standing unexplained deficit in the predictions of the extragalactic radio background. In this brief note we reiterate that no such non-thermal component can arise by itself when matter and radiation remain kinetically coupled.

Several general constraints are suggested to analyze the pionic valence-state wave function. It is found that the present model wave functions used in light-cone formalism of perturbative quantum chromodynamics have failed these requirements to fit the pionic form factor data and the reasonable valence-state structure function which does not exceed the pionic structure function data for $x \rightarrow 1$ simultaneously. Furthermore, it is pointed out that there is a possibility to find model wave functions which can satisfy all of general constraints. Also we show that there are two higher helicity $(\lambda_{1} + \lambda_{2} =\pm1)$ components in the light-cone wave function for the pion as a natural consequence from the Melosh rotation and it is speculated that these components should be incorporated into the perturbative quantum chromodynamics.

In the energy range considered here, from 100 GeV to 10 TeV, the charm contribution is small compared to the conventional flux of muons and muon neutrinos.

We study differential cross sections for the production of three and four jets in multi-Regge kinematics, the main interest lying on azimuthal angle dependences. The theoretical setup is the jet production from a single BFKL ladder with a convolution of two/three BFKL Green functions, where two forward/backward jets are always tagged in the final state. Furthermore, we require the tagging of one/two further jets in more central regions of the detectors with a relative separation in rapidity. We found, as result, that the dependence on transverse momenta and rapidities of the central jets can be considered as a distinct signal of the onset of BFKL dynamics.

Using the relativistic electrodynamics of continuous media formalism and main relativistic quantum field theory principles the covariant Lagrangian of electromagnetic field interaction with polarizable 1/2-spin particles have been obtained. This Lagrangian let us to determine canonical and metric energy-momentum tensors as well as low-energy Compton scattering amplitude. The application of this Lagrangian for the calculation of the radiative correction to the imaginary part of double virtual Compton scattering is demonstrated.

The influence of a constant homogeneous external magnetic field $H$ on the formation and stability of quark droplets is investigated within a simple Nambu -- Jona-Lasinio model by using a thermodynamic approach. For a vanishing magnetic field stable quark droplets, which are schematically the bags of massless quarks, are allowed to exist only at $G>G_{bag}$, where $G$ is the quark coupling constant, $G_{bag}=1.37G_{crit}$, and $G_{crit}$ is the value of the coupling constant above which chiral symmetry is spontaneously broken down. On the other hand, a nonvanishing external magnetic field can induce the stability of quark droplets so that they may exist even at $G<G_{bag}$. In this case, depending on the value of $H$, quark droplets are composed either of massive or massless quarks.
