1111.5422 | Jubin Park | Jubin Park and Sin Kyu Kang | Weak Mixing Angle and Higgs Mass in Gauge-Higgs Unification Models with
Brane Kinetic Terms | 22 pages, 4 figures | null | 10.1007/JHEP04(2012)101 | null | hep-ph | http://arxiv.org/licenses/nonexclusive-distrib/1.0/ | We show that the idea of Gauge-Higgs unification(GHU) can be rescued from the
constraint of weak mixing angle by introducing localized brane kinetic terms in
higher dimensional GHU models with bulk and simple gauge groups. We find that
those terms lead to a ratio between Higgs and W boson masses, which is a little
bit deviated from the one derived in the standard model. From numerical
analysis, we find that the current lower bound on the Higgs mass tends to
prefer to exceptional groups E(6), E(7), E(8) rather than other groups like
SU(3l), SO(2n+1), G(2), and F(4) in 6-dimensional(D) GHU models irrespective of
the compactification scales. For the compactification scale below 1 TeV, the
Higgs masses in 6D GHU models with SU(3l), SO(2n+1), G(2), and F(4) groups are
predicted to be less than the current lower bound unless a model parameter
responsible for re-scaling SU(2) gauge coupling is taken to be unnaturally
large enough. To see how the situation is changed in more higher dimensional
GHU model, we take 7D S^{3}/ Z_{2} and 8D T^{4}/ Z_{2} models. It turns out
from our numerical analysis that these higher dimensional GHU models with gauge
groups except for E(6) can lead to the Higgs boson whose masses are predicted
to be above the current lower bound only for the compatification scale above 1
TeV without taking unnaturally large value of the model parameter, whereas the
Higgs masses in the GHU models with E(6) are compatible with the current lower
bound even for the compatification scale below 1 TeV.

\ell^-\bar{\nu}_{\ell}$ decays with heavy and light leptons | Version accepted for publication in JHEP | null | null | null | hep-ph hep-ex hep-lat | http://arxiv.org/licenses/nonexclusive-distrib/1.0/ | We study the $\bar{B}\to D(D^*) \ell^-\bar{\nu}_{\ell}$ decays based on the
up-to-date available inputs from experiments and the lattice. First, we review
the standard model (SM) predictions of the different observables associated
with these decay channels. In the analyses, we consider new physics (NP)
effects in the channels with the heavy ($\tau$), as well as the light leptons
($\mu, e$). We have extracted $|V_{cb}|$ along with the new physics Wilson
coefficients (WCs) from the available data on light leptons; the extracted
value of $|V_{cb}|$ is $(40.3 \pm 0.5)\times 10^{-3}$. The extracted WCs are
zero consistent, but some could be of order $10^{-2}$. Also, we have done the
simultaneous analysis of the data in $\bar{B} \to D^{(*)}(\mu^-,e^-)\bar{\nu}$
alongside the inputs on $R(D^{(*)}) = \frac{\Gamma(\bar{B}\to
D^{(*)}\tau^-\bar{\nu}_{\tau})}{\Gamma(\bar{B}\to
D^{(*)}\ell^-\bar{\nu}_{\ell})}$ and the $D^*$ longitudinal polarisation
fraction $F_L^{D^*}$ in different NP scenarios and extracted $|V_{cb}|$ which
is consistent with the number mentioned above. Also, the simultaneous
explanation of $R(D^{(*)})$ and $F_L^{D^*}$ is not possible in the one-operator
scenarios. However, the two operator scenarios with $\mathcal{O}_{S_2}^{\tau} =
(\bar{q}_R b_L)(\bar{\tau}_R\nu_{\tau L})$ as one of the operators could
explain all these three measurements. Finally, we have given predictions of all
the related observables in $\bar{B} \to D^{(*)}(\tau^-,\mu^-,e^-)\bar{\nu}$
decays in the NP scenarios, which could be tested in future experiments. We
have repeated this exercise for $\bar{B} \to \pi\ell^-\bar{\nu}_{\ell}$ decays
with the light lepton and extracted $|V_{ub}|$ and the new WCs. Finally, using
all these available data for the light and heavy leptons, we have given bounds
on the couplings of the relevant SM effective field theory (SMEFT) operators
and the probable NP scale $\Lambda$.

neutrino events which appear to follow a broken power law different from the

source of these neutrinos is still unknown. One possible source of such
neutrinos could be the decay of non-thermal, long-living heavy mass Dark
Matter, whose mass should be $> 10^{6} \rm {GeV}$ and could have produced at
the very early Universe. They can undergo cascading decay via both hadronic and
leptonic channels to finally produce such high energy neutrinos. This
possibility has been explored in this work by studying the decay flux of these
Dark Matter candidates. The mass and lifetime of such Dark Matter particles
have been obtained by performing a $\chi^2$ fit with the PeV neutrino data of
IceCube. We finally estimate the baryon asymmetry produced in the Universe due

explained in terms of an extraterrestrial flux due to two different components:
a contribution coming from know astrophysical sources for energies up to few
hundreds TeV and a top-down contribution originated by the decay of heavy dark
matter particles with a mass of few PeV. Contrary to previous approaches, we
consider a leptophilic three-body decay that dominates at PeV energies due to
the absence of quarks in the final state. We find that the theoretical
predictions of such a scenario are in a slightly better agreement with the
IceCube data if the astrophysical component has a cut-off at about 100 TeV.
This interpretation of IceCube data can be easily tested in the near future
since the decaying dark matter scenario predicts a sharp cut-off at PeV energy
scale and the observation of an anisotropy towards Galactic Center of our

We investigate the one-loop QCD corrections to the process $e^{+}e^{-} \to t\bar{t}\gamma$ at the International Linear Collider (ILC), and find that the $K$-factor can be as large as 1.238 (1.105, 1.060) for a center-of-mass energy $\sqrt{s}=500 (800, 1500)$ GeV. The transverse momentum distributions of the top quark and photon are respectively shown at leading order (LO) and next-to-leading order(NLO). Due to the asymmetric rapidity distribution of the top (anti-top) quark, we also study the top quark forward-backward asymmetry ($A^{t}_{FB}$) in $t\bar{t}\gamma$ production at NLO, which is found to be 45.82 (55.25, 55.89)% for $\sqrt{s}=500 (800, 1500)$ GeV. |

leptogenesis, which would operate in a $N_2^{}$-dominated scenario with the

containing on-Z dilepton, jets, and large missing momentum (MET) in the 8 TeV
LHC run. Motivated by this excess, many models of new physics have been
proposed. Recently, the ATLAS and CMS collaborations reported new results for
similar Z+MET channels in the 13 TeV run. In this paper, we comprehensively
discuss the consistency between the proposed models and the LHC results of Run
1 and Run 2. We find that in models with heavy gluino production, there is
generically some tension between the 8 TeV and 13 TeV results. On the other
hand, models with light squark production provide relatively better fitting to
both results.

This gauge boson can also induce the top quark flavor-changing neutral-current

focus on two models which predict such a Z', namely the left-right model and
the U(1)_X model, to investigate the correlated effects on $A^t_{FB}$, the FCNC
decays $t -> u V$ ($V=g,Z,\gamma$) and the like-sign top pair production at the

the large top pair invariant mass region. We find that under the current
experimental constraints both models can alleviate the deviation of $A^t_{FB}$
and, meanwhile, enhance the like-sign top pair production to the detectable
level of the LHC. We also find that the two models give different predictions
for the observables and their correlations, and thus they may even be
distinguished by jointly studying these top quark observables.

We combine the shower with VINCIA's multiplicative approach to matrix-element matching, generalized to operate on each helicity configuration separately. The result is a substantial gain in computational speed for high parton multiplicities.

leading-logarithmic (LL) order approximations are pointed out. To remove these

In a model presented in this paper, interference contributions due to the NLL
order terms are included for the generation of the transverse momenta in
initial-state parton radiations. Furthermore, a kinematical constraint due to
parton radiation, which is also a part of the NLL order contributions, is taken
into account. This method guarantees a proper phase space boundary for hard
scattering cross sections as well as parton radiations.
As an example, cross sections for lepton pair productions mediated by a
virtual photon in hadron-hadron collisions are calculated, using the
jet-calculus scheme for flavor nonsinglet quarks.

Phase Transition | 20 pages, 2 figures | null | null | DESY 23-125 | hep-ph astro-ph.CO | http://arxiv.org/licenses/nonexclusive-distrib/1.0/ | First order phase transitions (FOPTs) constitute an active area of

undergoing the phase transition can also directly produce quanta of particles
that couple to the scalar, which has not been studied as extensively in the
literature. This paper provides the first careful examination of various
important aspects of this phenomenon. In particular, the contributions from
various stages of FOPTs (bubble nucleation, expansion, collision) are
disentangled. It is demonstrated that heavy particles primarily originate from
the relative motion of bubble walls at distances comparable to the Compton
wavelength of the particle rather than from the bubble collision itself.
Subtleties related to non-universality of particle interactions and masses in

a different Kaluza Klein spectrum. The value we calculate for $n_B/s$ is

compact exotic hadrons which can be approximated as the diquark-anti-diquark
correlations. In the flavor SU(3) symmetry, they form an SU(3) triplet or
anti-sextet. The spectra of the stable doubly heavy tetraquark states are
predicted by Sakharov-Zeldovich formula. We find that the
$T^+_{cc\bar{u}\bar{d}}({\bf 3})$ is about 16MeV below the $DD^*$ threshold,
while $T^{-}_{bb\bar{u}\bar{d}}({\bf 3})$ is about 73MeV below the $BB^*$
threshold. We then study the semileptonic and nonleptonic weak decays of the
stable doubly heavy tetraquark states. The decay amplitudes are parametrized in
terms of SU(3)-irreducible amplitudes. Ratios between decay widths of different
channels are also derived. At the end, we collect the Cabibbo allowed two-body
and three-body decay channels, which are most promising to search for the
stable doubly heavy tetraquark states at LHCb and Belle II experiments.

We find that the $T^+_{cc\bar{u}\bar{d}}({\bf 3})$ is about 16MeV below the $DD^*$ threshold, while $T^{-}_{bb\bar{u}\bar{d}}({\bf 3})$ is about 73MeV below the $BB^*$ threshold. We then study the semileptonic and nonleptonic weak decays of the stable doubly heavy tetraquark states. The decay amplitudes are parametrized in terms of SU(3)-irreducible amplitudes. Ratios between decay widths of different channels are also derived. At the end, we collect the Cabibbo allowed two-body and three-body decay channels, which are most promising to search for the stable doubly heavy tetraquark states at LHCb and Belle II experiments. |

reflection symmetry in the most minimal seesaw model | 24 pages, 10 figures, version accepted for publication in PRD | null | null | null | hep-ph | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ | In this paper we have studied the realizations of the popular TM1 neutrino
mixing and neutrino $\mu$-$\tau$ reflection symmetry (which are well motivated
from the neutrino oscillation data and lead to interesting phenomenological
consequences) in the most minimal seesaw model with a pseudo-Dirac pair of
right-handed neutrinos, and their consequences for leptogenesis. In order to
realize the low-scale resonant leptogenesis scenario, we have considered two
possible ways of generating the tiny mass splitting between the two
right-handed neutrinos: one way is to modify their Majorana mass matrix to a
form as shown in Eq. (25); the other way is to consider the
renormalization-group corrections for their masses. For the $\mu$-$\tau$
reflection symmetry, in order for leptogenesis to work, we have further
considered the flavor-dependent conversion efficiencies from the lepton
asymmetry to the baryon asymmetry during the sphaleron processes, and its
breaking via the renormalization-group corrections.

creation | 6 pages, 1 figure | null | null | null | hep-ph | http://arxiv.org/licenses/nonexclusive-distrib/1.0/ | We study the interaction between axions and nuclei by combining the
Peccei-Quinn mechanism with results from quantum chromo-dynamics (QCD) which
imply that the QCD condensates are reduced within nuclear matter. Thus, the
effective axion mass is also reduced, yielding a finite axion-nucleon
scattering cross section. Even in the absence of real axions, this interaction
would manifest itself in a Casimir type attraction between two nuclei. Finally,
accelerated nuclei can create entangled pairs of axions via the dynamical
Casimir effect (or as signatures of the Unruh effect).

nucleons and electrons. Astrophysical limits are thus relaxed, allowing for
axion masses up to ${\cal O}(0.1)$ eV. The axion-photon coupling remains
instead sizeable, so that next generation helioscopes will be able to probe
this scenario. Astrophobia unavoidably implies flavor violating axion
couplings, so that experimental limits on flavour-violating processes can
provide complementary probes. The astrophobic axion can be a viable dark matter
candidate in the heavy mass window, and can also account for anomalous energy
loss in stars.

triangle for all models, like the SM, the Two Higgs Doublet Models I and II and
the MSSM with minimal flavour violation, that do not have any new operators
beyond those present in the SM and in which all flavour changing transitions
are governed by the CKM matrix with no new phases beyond the CKM phase. This
universal triangle can be determined in the near future from the ratio (Delta
M)_d/(Delta M)_s and sin(2 beta) measured first through the CP asymmetry in
B_d^0 to psi K_S and later in K to pi nu nubar decays. Also suitable ratios of
the branching ratios for B to X_{d,s} nu nubar and B_{d,s} to mu^+ mu^- and the
angle gamma measured by means of CP asymmetries in B decays can be used for
this determination. Comparison of this universal triangle with the
non-universal triangles extracted in each model using epsilon, (Delta M)_d and
various branching ratios for rare decays will allow to find out in a
transparent manner which of these models, if any, is singled out by experiment.
A virtue of the universal triangle is that it allows to separate the
determination of the CKM parameters from the determination of new parameters
present in the extensions of the SM considered here.
