The presence of thermal gluons reduces the stimulated gluon emission off a heavy quark propagating in the quark-gluon plasma (QGP) while absorption causes reduction of the radiative energy loss. On the other hand, the chromo-electromagnetic field fluctuations present in the QGP lead to collisional energy gain of the heavy quark. The net effect of the thermal gluon absorption and field fluctuations is a reduction of the total energy loss of the heavy quark, prominent at the lower momenta. We consider both kind of the energy gains along with the usual losses, and compute the nuclear modification factor ($R_{AA}$) of heavy mesons, viz., $D$ and $B$ mesons. The calculations have been compared with the experimental measurements in Au-Au collisions at $\sqrt{s_{NN}} = 200$ GeV from STAR and PHENIX experiments at the RHIC and Pb-Pb collisions at $\sqrt{s_{NN}} = 2.76$ TeV and $5.02$ TeV from CMS and ALICE experiments at the LHC. We find a significant effect of the total energy gain due to thermal gluon absorption and field fluctuations on heavy flavour suppression, especially at the lower transverse momenta.

We have computed the chiral susceptibility in quark-gluon plasma in presence of finite chemical potential and weak magnetic field within hard thermal loop approximation. First we construct the massive effective quark propagator in a thermomagnetic medium. Then we obtain completely analytic expression for the chiral susceptibility in weak magnetic field approximation. In the absence of magnetic field the thermal chiral susceptibility increases in presence of finite chemical potential. The effect of thermomagnetic correction is found to be very marginal as temperature is the dominant scale in weak field approximation.

Using the approach based on conformal symmetry we calculate the three-loop (NNLO) contribution to the evolution equation for flavor-nonsinglet leading twist operators in the $\overline{\text{MS}}$ scheme. The explicit expression for the three-loop kernel is derived for the corresponding light-ray operator in coordinate space. The expansion in local operators is performed and explicit results are given for the matrix of the anomalous dimensions for the operators up to seven covariant derivatives. The results are directly applicable to the renormalization of the pion light-cone distribution amplitude and flavor-nonsinglet generalized parton distributions.

We develop a general approach to the calculation of target mass and finite t=(p'-p)^2 corrections in hard processes which can be studied in the framework of the operator product expansion and involve momentum transfer from the initial to the final hadron state. Such corrections, which are usually referred to as kinematic, can be defined as contributions of operators of all twists that can be reduced to total derivatives of the leading twist operators. As the principal result, we provide a set of projection operators that pick up the "kinematic" part of an arbitrary flavor-nonsinglet twist-four operator in QCD. A complete expression is derived for the time-ordered product of two electromagnetic currents that includes all kinematic corrections to twist-four accuracy. The results are immediately applicable to the studies of deeply-virtual Compton scattering, transition gamma^*-> M gamma form factors and related processes. As a byproduct of this study, we find a series of "genuine" twist-four flavor-nonsinglet quark-antiquark-gluon operators which have the same anomalous dimensions as the leading twist quark-antiquark operators.

What Does the Balance Function Measure?

The balance function has been proposed to `clock' hadronization by measuring the charge-dependent correlation length on rapidity. According to the proposal a narrowed balance function would imply reduced hadron diffusion time and therefore delayed hadronization due to a long-lived prehadronic state, a quark-gluon plasma or QGP. I examine this chain of argument in the context of hadronization and rescattering. I then consider the algebraic structure of the balance function and its systematic dependence on the charge correlation length on rapidity. I conclude that the width of the balance function cannot determine a time interval from hadronization to kinetic decoupling, nor can the width determine the existence or temporal extent of a QGP.

New bounds on the coupling strengths of the axion/ALP with quarks and of pseudoscalar mesons $P = \pi, \eta, \eta'$ with dark fermions are obtained by using existing upper bounds on invisible decay modes of $P$s including those recently derived by NA64. We also study a scenario when the $a$ plays the role of a messenger in the communication between our world and the dark sector.

An equation for the anapole and electric dipole form factors is also obtained. They define the electronic neutrino axial-vector moments.

We investigate QCD amplitudes with massive quarks computed in the four-dimensional helicity scheme (FDH) and dimensional reduction at NNLO and describe how they are related to the corresponding amplitudes computed in conventional dimensional regularization. To this end, the scheme dependence of the heavy quark and the velocity-dependent cusp anomalous dimensions is determined using soft-collinear effective theory. The results are checked against explicit computations of massive form factors in FDH at NNLO. Our results complete the description of the scheme dependence of QCD amplitudes at NNLO.

In this paper, the Cherenkov radiation process is investigated in the frame of the Quantum Field Theory, both for the spinless and spin-1/2 charged particles. In the latter case, the polarization density matrix technique was used to account for the spin flip. If compared with the Classical Electrodynamics results, in both cases several quantum corrections arise, coinciding up to the photon's energy linear term. It is shown that, while the absolute value of these corrections significantly relies on the refractive index, the relative quantum correction stays independent of the medium in the case of the ultrarelativistic particles. It the case of the spin-1/2 particles it turns out that the spin flip practically never occurs in this process. For both cases, spinless and spin-1/2, the outgoing photon polarization vector lies always in the plane formed by the initial particle's momentum vector and the final photon's wave vector.

The existence of this dark charge may affect the quantization of electric charge, which theoretically shifts the electric charge, thus the hypercharge to a novel gauge extension, $SU(3)_C\otimes SU(2)_L\otimes U(1)_Y\otimes U(1)_N$, where $N$ determines $D=T_3+N$, similar to $Q=T_3+Y$. New observation of this work is that the dark charge is broken down to two kinds of dark parity, $Z_2$ and $Z'_2$, which subsequently imply three scenarios of dark matter.

The supersymmetric contributions to the Flavor Changing Neutral Current processes may be suppressed by decoupling the scalars of the first and second generations. It is known, however, that the heavy scalars drive the stop mass squareds negative through the two-loop Renormalization Group evolution. This tension is studied in detail. Two new items are included in this analysis: the effect of the top quark Yukawa coupling and the QCD corrections to the supersymmetric contributions to $\Delta m_K$. Even with Cabibbo-like degeneracy between the squarks of the first two generations, these squarks must be heavier than $\sim 40$ TeV to suppress $\Delta m_K$. This implies, in the case of a high scale of supersymmetry breaking, that the boundary value of the stop mass has to be greater than $\sim 7$ TeV to keep the stop mass squared positive at the weak scale. Low-energy supersymmetry breaking at a scale that is of the same order as the mass of the heavy scalars is also considered. In this case the finite parts of the two-loop diagrams are computed to estimate the contribution of the heavy scalar masses to the stop mass squared. It is found that for Cabibbo-like mixing between the squarks, the stop mass at the boundary needs to be larger than $\sim 2$ TeV. Thus, for both cases, the large boundary value of the stop masses leads to an unnatural amount of fine tuning to obtain the correct $Z$ mass.

It is found that for Cabibbo-like mixing between the squarks, the stop mass at the boundary needs to be larger than $\sim 2$ TeV. Thus, for both cases, the large boundary value of the stop masses leads to an unnatural amount of fine tuning to obtain the correct $Z$ mass.

We investigate the phase space of parameters in the Pati-Salam model derived in the context of D-branes scenarios, requiring low energy string scale. We find that a non-supersymmetric version complies with a string scale as low as 10 TeV, while in the supersymmetric version the string scale raises up to ~2 x 10^7 TeV. The limited energy region for RGE running demands a large tan(beta) in order to have experimentally acceptable masses for the top and bottom quarks.

The QCD corrections to the R_{\tau}^{12} moment of the invariant mass distribution in hadronic decays of the tau lepton are discussed. The next-to-next-to-leading order prediction is shown to be stable with respect to change of the renormalization scheme, provided that the contour integral expression is used. The optimized predictions are obtained using the principle of minimal sensitivity to select the preferred renormalization scheme. The optimized predictions for R_{\tau}^{12} and R_{\tau} are used in a simplified fit to the experimental data to determine the strong coupling constant and the parameter characterizing the nonperturbative contribution.

The phenomenological sum-rule-based approach is used to discuss the quark composition dependence of some static and quasi-static electroweak characteristics of nucleons.The role of nonvalence degrees of freedom, the nucleon sea partons and/or peripheral meson currents, is shown to be important to select and make use of the relevant symmetry parametrization of hadron observables. With our preferable universal value of the SU(3)-symmetry parameter $\alpha_{D}=D/F+D=.58$, taken for both magnetic moments and axial-vector constants entering into the semi-leptonic baryon decays, we obtain the following values for moments $\Delta q$ of the spin-dependent structure function of the proton: $\Delta u \simeq .84(.82), \Delta d \simeq -.42(-.44), \Delta s=-.22 \pm .05 (-.10 \pm .03)$, where the values in parentheses correspond to the widely used "standard" value of $\alpha^{axial}_{D}=.63$. The estimations of the strange sea contributions to the nucleon magnetic moments and rms are also presented.

We calculate the Cherenkov process nu -> nu+photon in the presence of a homogeneous magnetic field. The neutrinos are taken to be massless with only standard-model couplings. The magnetic field fulfills the dual purpose of inducing an effective neutrino-photon vertex and of modifying the photon dispersion relation such that the Cherenkov condition is fulfilled. Our effect is closely related to photon splitting that occurs in magnetic fields and that may be astrophysically important in the strong magnetic fields of pulsars. It is also closely related to magnetic-field enhanced radiative decays nu -> nu'+photon that have been extensively discussed in the recent literature. In the appropriate limits we agree with these results, but we disagree with earlier explicit calculations of the Cherenkov process. For a field strength B_crit = m_e^2/e = 4.41E13 Gauss and for E=2m_e the Cherenkov rate is about 6E-11/sec and thus too small to be of practical importance for pulsar physics.

The electric ($\alpha_\pi$) and magnetic ($\beta_\pi$) Compton polarizabilities of both the charged and the neutral pion are of fundamental interest in the low-energy sector of quantum chromodynamics (QCD). Pion polarizabilities affect the shape of the $\gamma\pi\to\gamma\pi$ Compton scattering angular distribution at back scattering angles and $\gamma\gamma\to\pi\pi$ absolute cross sections. Theory derivations are given of the $\gamma\pi\to\gamma\pi$ Compton scattering differential cross section, dispersion relations, and sum rules in terms of the polarizabilities. We review experimental charged and neutral polarizability studies and theoretical predictions. The $\pi^0$ polarizabilities were deduced from DESY Crystal Ball $\gamma\gamma\to\pi^0\pi^0$ data, but with large uncertainties. The charged pion polarizabilities were deduced most recently from (1) radiative pion Primakoff scattering $\pi^- Z \to \pi^-Z\gamma$ at CERN COMPASS, (2) two-photon pion pair production $\gamma\gamma\to\pi^+\pi^-$ at SLAC Mark II, and (3) radiative pion photoproduction $\gamma p\to\gamma \pi^+ n$ from the proton at MAMI in Mainz. A stringent test of chiral perturbation theory (ChPT) is possible based on comparisons of precision experimental charged pion polarizabilities with ChPT predictions. Only the CERN COMPASS charged pion polarizability measurement has acceptably small uncertainties. Its value $\alpha_{\pi^\pm}-\beta_{\pi^\pm} = (4.0\pm 1.8)\times 10^{-4}\,\text{fm}^3$ agrees well with the two-loop ChPT prediction $\alpha_{\pi^\pm}-\beta_{\pi^\pm}=(5.7\pm 1.0)\times 10^{-4}\,\text{fm}^3$, strengthening the identification of the pion with the Goldstone boson of chiral symmetry breaking in QCD.

Based on a general form of the effective vertex functions for the decays of P-wave charmonia $\chicj$, angular distribution formulas for the subsequent decays $\chicj\rightarrow \jpsi \gamma$ and $\jpsi \to \mu^+\mu^-$ are derived. The formulas are the same as those obtained in a different approach in the literature. Our formulas are expressed in a more general form, including parity violation effects and the full angular dependence of $\jpsi$ and muon in the cascade decay $\chicj\to\jpsi\gamma\to\mu^+\mu^-\gamma$. The $\chicj$ polarization observables are expressed in terms of rational functions of the spin density matrix elements of $\chicj$ production. Generalized rotation-invariant relations for arbitrary integer-spin particles are also derived and their expressions in terms of observable angular distribution parameters are given in the $\chi_{c1}$ and $\chi_{c2}$. To complement our previous direct-$\jpsi$ polarization result, we also discuss the impact on the observable prompt-$\jpsi$ polarization. As an illustrative application of our angular distribution formulas, we present the angular distributions in terms of the tree-level spin density matrix elements of $\chi_{c1}$ and $\chi_{c2}$ production in several different frames at the Large Hadron Collider. Moreover, a reweighting method is also proposed to determine the entire set of the production spin density matrix elements of the $\chi_{c2}$, some of which disappear or are suppressed for vanishing higher-order multipole effects making the complete extraction difficult experimentally.

In this work, we have explored the sensitivity of multilepton final states in probing the gaugino sector of R-parity violating supersymmetric scenario with specific lepton number violating trilinear couplings ($\lambda_{ijk}$) being non-zero. The gaugino spectrum is such that the charged leptons in the final state can arise from the R-parity violating decays of the lightest supersymmetric particle (LSP) as well as R-parity conserving decays of the next-to-LSP (NLSP). Apart from a detailed cut-based analysis, we have also performed a machine learning-based analysis using boosted decision tree algorithm which provides much better sensitivity. In the scenarios with non-zero $\lambda_{121}$ and/or $\lambda_{122}$ couplings, the LSP pair in the final states decays to $4l~(l = e, \mu) + \rm E{\!\!\!/}_T$ final states with $100\%$ branching ratio. We have shown that under this circumstance, a final state with $\ge 4l$ has the highest sensitivity in probing the gaugino masses. We also discuss how the sensitivity can change in the presence of $\tau$ lepton(s) in the final state due to other choices of trilinear couplings. We present our results through the estimation of the discovery and exclusion contours in the gaugino mass plane for both the HL-LHC and the HE-LHC. For $\lambda_{121}$ and/or $\lambda_{122}$ nonzero scenario, the projected 2$\sigma$ exclusion limit on NLSP masses reaches upto 2.37 TeV and 4 TeV for the HL-LHC and the HE-LHC respectively by using a machine learning based algorithm. We obtain an enhancement of $\sim$ 380 (190) GeV in the projected 2$\sigma$ exclusion limit on the NLSP masses at the 27 (14) TeV LHC. Considering the same final state ($N_l \geq 4$) for $\lambda_{133}$ and/or $\lambda_{233}$ non-zero scenario, we find that the corresponding 2$\sigma$ projected limits are $\sim$ 1.97 TeV and $\sim$ 3.25 TeV for the HL-LHC and HE-LHC respectively.

We perform a chiral extrapolation of the baryon octet and decuplet masses in a relativistic formulation of chiral perturbation theory. A partial summation is assumed as implied by the use of physical baryon and meson masses in the one-loop diagrams. Upon a chiral expansion, our results are consistent with strict chiral perturbation theory at the next-to-next-to-next-to-leading order. All counter terms are correlated by a large-$N_c$ operator analysis. Our results are confronted with recent results of unquenched three-flavor lattice simulations. We adjust the parameter set to the pion-mass dependence of the nucleon and omega masses as computed by the BMW Collaboration and predict the pion-mass dependence of the remaining baryon octet and decuplet states. The current lattice simulations can be described accurately and smoothly up to pion masses of about 600 MeV. In particular, we recover the recent results of HSC without any further adjustments.

We analyse the rare decay mode B_s -> mu^+ mu^- in the minimal supergravity scenario (mSUGRA). We find a strong correlation with the muon anomalous magnetic moment (g-2)_mu. An interpretation of the recently measured excess in (g-2)_mu in terms of mSUGRA corrections implies a substantial supersymmetric enhancement of the branching ratio Br(B_s -> mu^+ mu^-): if (g-2)_mu exceeds the Standard Model prediction by 4*10^{-9}, Br(B_s -> mu^+ mu^-) is larger by a factor of 10-100 than in the Standard Model and within reach of Run-II of the Tevatron. Thus an experimental search for B_s -> mu^+ mu^- is a stringent test of the mSUGRA GUT scale boundary conditions. If the decay B_s -> mu^+ mu^- is observed at Run-II of the Tevatron, then we predict the mass of the lightest supersymmetric Higgs boson to be less than 120 GeV. The decay B_s -> mu^+ mu^- can also significantly probe the favoured parameter range in SO(10) SUSY GUT models.

Interferences are not positive-definite and therefore they can change sign over the phase space. If the contributions of the regions where the interference is positive and negative nearly cancel each other, interference effects are hard to measure. In this paper, we propose a method to quantify the ability of an observable to separate an interference positive and negative contributions and therefore to revive the interference effects in measurements. We apply this method to the anomalous gluon operator in the SMEFT for which the interference suppression is well-known. We show that we can get contraints on its coefficient, using the interference only, similar to those obtained by including the square of the new physics amplitude.

We investigate the flavor-specific properties of leptophilic dark matter in neutrino mass models, where dark matter signals are directly correlated with the neutrino oscillation data, providing complementary insights into the neutrino mass hierarchy and CP phases. Notably, this can be accomplished without introducing a flavor-specific portal to dark matter, imposing any new flavor symmetry, or involving flavon fields. As a case study, we analyze the correlation between the flavor-philic nature of dark matter and neutrino oscillation data in the type-II seesaw and Zee-Babu models, and extend this discussion to other neutrino mass models. We analyze the indirect signatures of such leptophilic dark matter, specifically examining the spectrum of the cosmic ray electron/positron flux resulting from the pair annihilation of dark matter in the Galactic halo, and explore correlated lepton-specific signals at collider experiments sensitive to neutrino oscillation data.

We develop a 1+1 dimensional hydrodynamical model for central heavy-ion collisions at ultrarelativistic energies. Deviations from Bjorken's scaling are taken into account by implementing finite-size profiles for the initial energy density. The calculated rapidity distributions of pions, kaons and antiprotons in central Au+Au collisions at the c.m. energy 200 AGeV are compared with experimental data of the BRAHMS Collaboration. The sensitivity of the results to the choice of the equation of state, the parameters of initial state and the freeze-out conditions is investigated. Experimental constraints on the total energy of produced particles are used to reduce the number of model parameters. The best fits of experimental data are obtained for soft equations of state and Gaussian-like initial profiles of the energy density. It is found that initial energy densities required for fitting experimental data decrease with increasing critical temperature of the phase transition.

A generalization of the Next-to-Minimal Supersymmetric Model (NMSSM) is studied in which an explicit \mu-term as well as a small supersymmetric mass term for the singlet superfield are incorporated. We study the possibility of raising the Standard Model-like Higgs mass at tree level through its mixing with a light, mostly-singlet, CP-even scalar. We are able to generate Higgs boson masses up to 145 GeV with top squarks below 1.1 TeV and without the need to fine tune parameters in the scalar potential. This model yields light singlet-like scalars and pseudoscalars passing all collider constraints.

One of the most precise measurements of the strong coupling constant alpha_s(MZ) is obtained in the context of global analyses of precision electroweak data. This article reviews the sensitivity of different electroweak observables to alpha_s and describes the perturbative uncertainties related to missing higher orders. The complete renormalisation scale dependence for the relevant observables is calculated at next-to-next-to-leading order and a new method is presented to determine the corresponding perturbative uncertainty for measurements of alpha_s based on these observables.

We examine the sensitivity of several solutions of the strong-CP problem to violations of global symmetries by Planck scale physics. We find that the Peccei-Quinn solution is extremely sensitive to U(1)_PQ violating operators of dimension less than 10. We construct models in which the PQ symmetry is protected by gauge symmetries to the requisite level.

The contributions to the coefficient functions of the quark and the mixed quark-gluon condensate to mesonic correlators are calculated for the first time to all orders in the quark masses, and to lowest order in the strong coupling constant. Existing results on the coefficient functions of the unit operator and the gluon condensate are reviewed. The proper factorization of short- and long-distance contributions in the operator product expansion is discussed in detail. It is found that to accomplish this task rigorously the operator product expansion has to be performed in terms of non-normal-ordered condensates. The resulting coefficient functions are improved with the help of the renormalization group. The scale invariant combination of dimension 5 operators, including mixing with the mass operator, which is needed for the renormalization group improvement, is calculated in the leading order.

We perform a detailed analysis of the next-to-minimal supersymmetric standard model (NMSSM), imposing the constraints of two-loop gauge coupling unification, universal soft supersymmetry breaking and the correct pattern of electroweak symmetry breaking. We compare our results with those for the minimal supersymmetric standard model (MSSM) using closely related techniques and, as far as possible, a common set of input and output variables. In general, in the constrained NMSSM, there are much stronger correlations between parameters than in the constrained MSSM, and we map out the allowed parameter space. We also give a detailed discussion of how to resolve the two models experimentally, concentrating primarily on the prospects at LEPII.

We study local spin polarization in the relativistic hydrodynamic model. Generalizing the Wigner functions previously obtained from chiral kinetic theory by Y. Hidaka et al. [Phys. Rev. D 97, 016004 (2018)] to the massive case, we present the possible contributions up to the order of $\hbar$ from thermal vorticity, shear viscous tensor, other terms associated with the temperature and chemical-potential gradients, and electromagnetic fields to the local spin polarization. We then implement the (3+1)-dimensional viscous hydrodynamic model to study the spin polarizations from these sources with a small chemical potential and ignorance of electromagnetic fields by adopting an equation of state different from those in other recent studies. Although the shear correction alone upon the local polarization results in a sign and azimuthal-angle dependence more consistent with experimental observations, as also discovered in other recent studies, it is mostly suppressed by the contributions from thermal vorticity and other terms that yield an opposite trend. It is found that the total local spin polarization can be very sensitive to the equation of states, the ratio of shear viscosity to entropy density, and the freeze-out temperature.

The flat directions LLe and udd within the minimal supersymmetric Standard Model provide all the necessary ingredients for a successful inflation with the right amplitude of the scalar density perturbations, negligible gravity waves and the spectral tilt within 2\sigma observed range 0.92 \leq n_s \leq 1.0. In this paper we explore the available parameter space for inflation in conjunction with a thermal cold dark matter abundance within the minimal supergravity model. Remarkably for the inflaton, which is a combination of squarks and sleptons, there is a stau-neutralino coannihilation region below the inflaton mass 500 GeV for the observed density perturbations and the tilt of the spectrum. For such a low mass of the inflaton the LHC is capable of discovering the inflaton candidates within a short period of its operation. Inflation is also compatible with the focus point region which opens up for the inflaton masses above TeV. We show that embedding MSSM within SO(10) can naturally favor this region.

The ampitude of the $B\to\rho\gamma$ decay induced by the flavour-changing neutral currents contains the penguin contribution and the weak-annihilation contribution generated by the 4-quark operators in the effective Hamiltonian. The penguin contribution is known quite well. We analyse the weak-annihilation which is suppressed by the heavy-quark mass compared to the penguin contribution. In the factorization approximation, the weak annihilation amplitude is represented in terms of the leptonic decay constants and the meson-photon matrix elements of the weak currents. The latter contain the $B\gamma$, $\rho\gamma$ transition form factors and contact terms determined by the equations of motion. We calculate the $B\gamma$ and $\rho\gamma$ form factors within the relativistic dispersion approach and obtain numerical estimates for the weak annihilation amplitude.

We report on a comprehensive study of the Direct Detection phenomenology of singlet Dark Matter $t$-channel portal models. For that purpose, we present a complete computation of the loop-induced direct detection cross-section for both scalar and fermionic Dark Matter candidates. We complete the study by comparing the results with current and future bounds from Direct Detection experiments and requiring the correct Dark Matter relic density.

$B_{(s)}$ semi-leptonic decays to the light scalar meson, $B_{(s)}\to S l\bar{\nu}_l, S l \bar{l}\,\,(l=e,\mu,\tau)$, are investigated in the QCD light-cone sum rules (LCSR) with chiral current correlator. Having little knowledge of ingredients of the scalar mesons, we confine ourself to the two quark picture for them and work with the two possible Scenarios. The resulting sum rules for the form factors receive no contributions from the twist-3 distribution amplitudes (DA's), in comparison with the calculation of the conventional LCSR approach where the twist-3 parts play usually an important role. We specify the range of the squared momentum transfer $q^2$, in which the operator product expansion (OPE) for the correlators remains valid approximately. It is found that the form factors satisfy a relation consistent with the prediction of soft collinear effective theory (SCET). In the effective range we investigate behaviors of the form factors and differential decay widthes and compare our calculations with the observations from other approaches. The present findings can be beneficial to experimentally identify physical properties of the scalar mesons.

The combined analysis of the BaBar, Belle, and LHCb data on $B\to D\tau\nu$, $B\to D^*\tau\nu$ and $B_c\to J/\Psi\tau\nu$ decay observables shows evidence of physics beyond the Standard Model (SM). In this article, we study all the one- and two-dimensional scenarios which can be generated by adding a single new particle to the SM. We put special emphasis on the model-discriminating power of $F_L(D^*)$ and of the $\tau$ polarizations, and especially on the constraint from the branching fraction ${\rm BR}(B_c\to\tau\nu)$. We critically review this constraint and do not support the aggressive limit of ${\rm BR}(B_c\to\tau\nu)<10\%$ used in some analyses. While the impact of $F_L(D^*)$ is currently still limited, the ${\rm BR}(B_c\to\tau\nu)$ constraint has a significant impact: depending on whether one uses a limit of $60\%$, $30\%$ or $10\%$, the pull for new physics (NP) in scalar operators changes drastically. More specifically, for a conservative $60\%$ limit a scenario with scalar operators gives the best fit to data, while for an aggressive $10\%$ limit this scenario is strongly disfavored and the best fit is obtained in a scenario in which only a left-handed vector operator is generated. We find a sum rule for the branching ratios of $B\to D\tau\nu$, $B\to D^*\tau\nu$ and $\Lambda_b\to \Lambda_c\tau\nu$ which holds for any NP contribution to the Wilson coefficients. This sum rule entails an enhancement of ${\rm BR}(\Lambda_b\to \Lambda_c\tau\nu)$ over its SM prediction by $(24\pm 6)\%$ for the current $\mathcal{R}(D^{(*)})$ data.

A critical question concerning generative networks applied to event generation in particle physics is if the generated events add statistical precision beyond the training sample. We show for a simple example with increasing dimensionality how generative networks indeed amplify the training statistics.

We obtain a class of solutions for the AdS$_5$ two-brane models by imposing the observed value of cosmological constant and Newton coupling constant on the visible brane. When all terms up to the first order of matter density are included, the cosmological evolution on the observable brane depends on the equation of state of the matter and consequently when the pressure exists, the cosmology of these models deviates from FLRW cosmology. We show that it is possible to choose the matter equation of state on the hidden brane to neutralize its contribution on the cosmological evolution of the visible brane. We compare the prediction of these models for primordial {\it $^4$He} yield with observations. In standard BBN with $n_{\nu}^{light} = 3$ this brane model is ruled out. If in addition to 3 SM neutrinos there is one light sterile neutrino, this model reconciles the observed {\it $^4$He} yield with a high ${\Omega}_b \sim 0.033 h^{-2}$ suggested by BOOMERANG and MAXIMA experiments.

The tentative identification of approximately ten relativistic anti-helium cosmic-ray events at AMS-02 would, if confirmed, challenge our understanding of the astrophysical synthesis of heavy anti-nuclei. We propose a novel scenario for the enhanced production of such anti-nuclei that is triggered by isolated, catastrophic injections of large quantities of energetic Standard Model (SM) anti-quarks in our galaxy by physics beyond the Standard Model (BSM). We demonstrate that SM anti-nucleosynthetic processes that occur in the resulting rapidly expanding, thermalized fireballs of SM plasma can, for a reasonable range of parameters, produce the reported tentative $\sim 2:1$ ratio of anti-helium-3 to anti-helium-4 events at AMS-02, as well as their relativistic boosts. Moreover, we show that this can be achieved without violating anti-deuterium or anti-proton flux constraints for the appropriate anti-helium fluxes. A plausible BSM paradigm for the catastrophic injections is the collision of macroscopic composite dark-matter objects carrying large net anti-baryon number. Such a scenario would require these objects to be cosmologically stable, but to destabilize upon collision, promptly releasing a fraction of their mass energy into SM anti-particles within a tiny volume. We show that, in principle, the injection rate needed to attain the necessary anti-helium fluxes and the energetic conditions required to seed the fireballs appear possible to obtain in such a paradigm. We leave open the question of constructing a BSM particle physics model to realize this, but we suggest two concrete scenarios as promising targets for further investigation.

In the first part of this work we discuss possible effects of stochastic space-time foam configurations of quantum gravity on the propagation of ``flavoured'' (Klein-Gordon and Dirac) neutral particles, such as neutral mesons and neutrinos. The formalism is not the usually assumed Lindblad one, but it is based on random averages of quantum fluctuations of space time metrics over which the propagation of the matter particles is considered. We arrive at expressions for the respective oscillation probabilities between flavours which are quite distinct from the ones pertaining to Lindblad-type decoherence, including in addition to the (expected) Gaussian decay with time, a modification to oscillation behaviour, as well as a power-law cutoff of the time-profile of the respective probability. In the second part we consider space-time foam configurations of quantum-fluctuating charged black holes as a way of generating (parts of) neutrino mass differences, mimicking appropriately the celebrated MSW effects of neutrinos in stochastically fluctuating random media. We pay particular attention to disentangling genuine quantum-gravity effects from ordinary effects due to the propagation of a neutrino through ordinary matter. Our results are of interest to precision tests of quantum gravity models using neutrinos as probes.

We investigate the NLO QCD and the CP-violation effects in $t\bar{t}Z^0$ production at the Large Hadron Collider(LHC) in the minimal supersymmetric standard model(MSSM). Our calculation shows that the total NLO QCD correction in the framework of the CP-conserving MSSM significantly improves the scale uncertainty at the leading order, and the contribution from the pure supersymmetric QCD (pSQCD) correction can exceed $-8\%$ with the restrictions of $90~GeV < p_T^t < 120~GeV$ and $120~GeV < p_T^Z < 150~GeV$, where $p_T^t$ and $p_T^Z$ are the transverse momenta of the top-quark and $Z^0$ gauge boson, respectively. Our numerical results demonstrate that the pure SUSY QCD correction generally suppresses the total SM-like QCD correction in the CP-conserving MSSM, and tends to be a constant when either $\tilde{t}_1$ or $\tilde{g}$ is heavy enough. We find also that the CP-odd asymmetry ${\cal A}_{\Phi}$ can reach $2.17 \times 10^{-3}$, if the CP-phase angle really exists in the coupling of gluino-stop-top.

We present cross sections for the production of the lightest supersymmetric particle as a neutralino state in the minimal supersymmetric standard model at electron-photon colliders. The lightest supersymmetric particle mass is taken at a value of 30 GeV which is slightly higher than its lowest experimental bound of 20 GeV, and the masses of the scalar electron are varied. We show partial cross sections of the energy and angular distribution of the outgoing electron for different values of the centre of mass energy. As a result we show that electron-photon collider experiments could be quite sensitive to the detection of supersymmetric particles.

The recent measurement of muon anomalous magnetic dipole moment (muon $g-2$) suggests that there might exist new physics that dominantly interacts with muons. The observed gamma-ray excess from Fermi-LAT indicates that dark matter annihilates into a specific charged fermions. We propose a successful model simultaneously to explain the Fermi-LAT GeV gamma-ray excess and sizable muon $g-2$ with a modular $A_4$ symmetry. Due to nature of this symmetry, our DM only interacts with pairs of muon and we explain sizable muon $g-2$ without suffering from constraints of any lepton flavor violations. We numerically show our allowed spaces on each measurements of Fermi-LAT, relic density of DM and muon $g-2$, randomly scanning our input parameters.

We re-examine the big bang nucleosynthesis (BBN) bounds on the mixing of neutrinos with sterile species. These bounds depend on the assumption that the relic neutrino asymmetry $L_{\nu}$ is very small. We show that for $L_{\nu}$ large enough (greater than about $10^{-5}$) the standard BBN bounds do not apply. We apply this result to the sterile neutrino solution to the atmospheric neutrino anomaly and show that for $L_{\nu} > 7 \times 10^{-5}$ it is consistent with BBN. The BBN bounds on sterile neutrinos mixing with electron neutrinos can also be weakened considerably.

No conventional picture of nucleus-nucleus collisions has yet been able to explain the abundance of Omega and AntiOmega in central collisions between Pb nuclei at 158 A GeV at the CERN SPS. We argue that such a deviation from predictions of statistical thermal models and numerical simulations is evidence that they are produced as topological defects in the form of skyrmions arising from the formation of disoriented chiral condensates. The estimated domain size falls in the right range to be consistent with the so far non-observation of DCC from the distribution of neutral pions.

We highlight issues which are often underestimated in the experimental analyses on quarkonium polarization: the relation between the parameters of the angular distributions and the angular momentum composition of the quarkonium, the importance of the choice of the reference frame, the interplay between observed decay and production kinematics, and the consequent influence of the experimental acceptance on the comparison between experimental measurements and theoretical calculations. Given the puzzles raised by the available experimental results, new measurements must provide more detailed information, such that physical conclusions can be derived without relying on model-dependent assumptions. We describe a frame-invariant formalism which minimizes the dependence of the measurements on the experimental acceptance, facilitates the comparison with theoretical calculations, and probes systematic effects due to experimental biases. This formalism is a direct and generic consequence of the rotational invariance of the dilepton decay distribution and is independent of any assumptions specific to particular models of quarkonium production. The use of this improved approach, which exploits the intrinsic multidimensionality of the problem, will significantly contribute to a faster progress in our understanding of quarkonium production, especially if adopted as a common analysis framework by the LHC experiments, which will soon perform analyses of quarkonium polarization in proton-proton collisions.

Based on a nonabelian generalization of electric-magnetic duality, the Dualized Standard Model (DSM) suggests a natural explanation for exactly 3 generations of fermions as the `dual colour' $\widetilde{SU}(3)$ symmetry broken in a particular manner. The resulting scheme then offers on the one hand a fermion mass hierarchy and a perturbative method for calculating the mass and mixing parameters of the Standard Model fermions, and on the other testable predictions for new phenomena ranging from rare meson decays to ultra-high energy cosmic rays. Calculations to 1-loop order gives, at the cost of adjusting only 3 real parameters, values for the following quantities all (except one) in very good agreement with experiment: the quark CKM matrix elements $|V_{rs}|$, the lepton CKM matrix elements $|U_{rs}|$, and the second generation masses $m_c, m_s, m_\mu$. This means, in particular, that it gives near maximal mixing $U_{\mu3}$ between $\nu_\mu$ and $\nu_\tau$ as observed by SuperKamiokande, Kamiokande and Soudan, while keeping small the corresponding quark angles $V_{cb}, V_{ts}$. In addition, the scheme gives (i) rough order-of-magnitude estimates for the masses of the lowest generation, (ii) predictions for low energy FCNC effects such as $K_L \to e \mu$, (iii) a possible explanation for the long-standing puzzle of air showers beyond the GZK cut-off. All these together, however, still represent but a portion of the possible physical consequences derivable from the DSM scheme the majority of which are yet to be explored.

We derive the renormalized nonequilibrium equations of motion for a scalar field and its quantum back reaction in a conformally flat Friedmann-Robertson-Walker universe. We use a fully covariant formalism proposed by us recently for handling numerically and analytically nonequilibrium dynamics in one-loop approximation. The system is assumed to be in a conformal vacuum state initially. We use dimensional regularization; we find that the counter terms can be chosen independent of the initial conditions though the divergent leading order graphs do depend on them.

We consider the azimuthal distribution of the final observed hadron in semi-inclusive deep-inelastic scattering and the lepton pair in the Drell-Yan process. In particular, we focus on the $\cos \phi$ modulation of the unpolarized cross section and on its dependence upon transverse momentum. At low transverse momentum, for these observables we propose a factorized expression based on tree-level approach and conjecture that the same formula is valid in transverse-momentum dependent (TMD) factorization when written in terms of subtracted TMD parton distributions. Our formula correctly matches with the collinear factorization results at high transverse momentum, solves a long-standing problem and is a necessary step towards the extension of the TMD factorization theorems up to the subleading twist.

Superbeam experiments can, in principle, achieve impressive sensitivities for CP violation in neutrino oscillations for large $\theta_{13}$. We study how those sensitivities depend on assumptions about systematical uncertainties. We focus on the second phase of T2K, the so-called T2HK experiment, and we explicitly include a near detector in the analysis. Our main result is that even an idealised near detector cannot remove the dependence on systematical uncertainties completely. Thus additional information is required. We identify certain combinations of uncertainties, which are the key to improve the sensitivity to CP violation, for example the ratio of electron to muon neutrino cross sections and efficiencies. For uncertainties on this ratio larger than 2%, T2HK is systematics dominated. We briefly discuss how our results apply to a possible two far detector configuration, called T2KK. We do not find a significant advantage with respect to the reduction of systematical errors for the measurement of CP violation for this setup.

In this work we study a classically scale-invariant extension of the Standard Model in which the dark matter and electroweak scales are generated through the Coleman-Weinberg mechanism. The extra $SU(3)_X$ gauge factor gets completely broken by the vacuum expectation values of two scalar triplets. Out of the eight resulting massive vector bosons the three lightest are stable due to an intrinsic $Z_2\times Z_2'$ discrete symmetry and can constitute dark matter candidates. We analyze the phenomenological viability of the predicted multi-Higgs sector imposing theoretical and experimental constraints. We perform a comprehensive analysis of the dark matter predictions of the model solving numerically the set of coupled Boltzmann equations involving all relevant dark matter processes and explore the direct detection prospects of the dark matter candidates.

In this thesis we study the b-quark fragmentation in top decay as well as the effect of the threshold resummation on heavy quark production in charged-current DIS. To predict the spectrum of b-flavored hadrons in top decay, we calculate at NLO the QCD corrections for bottom production in top decay with the b-mass fully taken into account. Using the perturbative fragmentation function formalism we then resum with NLL accuracy large collinear logs of the ratio of bottom-to-top mass, which leads to an essential improvement of the result. Next we perform the threshold resummation for the coefficient function for top decay with NLL accuracy. That resummation leads to an important improvement of the b-spectrum in the large energy fraction region. Finally, we extract information for the non-perturbative b-fragmentation into hadrons from e^+e^- data and make a prediction for the spectrum of those b-flavored hadrons produced in top-quark decay. Our second application is to charm production in charged-current DIS. We first calculate with NLL accuracy the soft-gluon resummed coefficient function for heavy quark production (initiated by a light quark) in DIS. Our result is applicable for the case of low momentum transfer that is of the order of the mass of the heavy quark. We also make a connection of this result to the known result for massless quark production. We then apply this result for charm quark production at NuTeV and HERA for a wide range of the transferred momentum, and present the effect of the resummation on the charm structure functions.

The calculations are performed in the framework of the model of unstable particles with smeared mass-shell. We show that the contribution of the finite $Z/W$ and $H$ widths (their instability) is large in the Higgs resonance range and should be taken into account in the Higgs boson searches at future colliders.

The recently measured direct CP asymmetries in the processes $D^0\to \pi^+\pi^-$ and $D^0\to K^+K^-$ show a significant deviation from the naive Standard Model expectation. Using a general parameterization of the decay amplitudes, we show that the measured branching ratios imply large SU(3) breaking and large violations of the naive $1/N_c$ counting. Furthermore, rescattering constrains the I=0 amplitudes in the $\pi\pi$ and $KK$ channels. Combining all this information, we show that, with present errors, the observed asymmetries are marginally compatible with the Standard Model. Improving the experimental accuracy could lead to an indirect signal of new physics.

As the principal result, the complete expression is derived for the time-ordered product of two electromagnetic currents that includes all kinematic corrections to twist-four accuracy.

The data was obtained and processed from the CERN Open Data Portal. For the total multiplicity component, it was found that a convex sum of a Negative Binomial Distribution and a Furry-Yule Distribution is able to describe the shoulder-like structure characteristic of KNO scaling violation well. The mean cluster size produced from collisions was also found to increase with collision energy. A prediction is given for $pp$ collisions at $\sqrt{s}=$ 14 TeV.

We systematically study the possibility of determining the spin of new particles after their discovery at the LHC. We concentrate on angular correlations in cascade decays. Motivated by constraints of electroweak precision tests and the potential of providing a Cold Dark Matter candidate, we focus on scenarios of new physics in which some discrete symmetry guarantees the existence of stable neutral particles which escape the detector. More specifically, we compare supersymmetry with another generic scenario in which new physics particles have the same spin as their Standard Model partners. A survey of possibilities of observing spin correlations in a broad range of decay channels is carried out, with interesting ones identified. Rather than confining ourselves to one "collider friendly" benchmark point (such as SPS1a), we describe the parameter region in which any particular decay channel is effective. We conduct a more detailed study of chargino's spin determination in the decay channel $\tilde{q}\to q + \tilde{C}^\pm \to q + W^\pm + LSP$. A scan over the chargino and neutralino masses is performed. We find that as long as the spectrum is not too degenerate the prospects for spin determination in this channel are rather good.

The resulting protection for the Z->b_L b_L and Z->\tau_R \tau_R decays allows for potentially interesting signals in Higgs physics, while maintaining the good agreement of the Standard Model with precision tests. The setups can be motivated as the low energy effective theories of the composite Higgs models MCHM_5 and MCHM_10, where the spectra can be identified with the light custodians present in these theories. We will show that these describe the relevant physics in the fermion sectors in a simplified and transparent way. In contrast to previous studies of composite models, the impact of a realistic lepton sector on the Higgs decays is taken into account.

If the symmetry to distinguish the two Higgs doublets is not assigned, flavor changing neutral currents (FCNCs) involving the scalars are predicted even at the tree level. We investigate the constraints on the FCNCs at the one-loop level, and especially study the semileptonic $B$ meson decays, e.g. $B \to D^{(*)} \tau \nu$ and $B \to K^{(*)} ll$ processes, where the SM predictions are more than $2 \sigma$ away from the experimental results. We also consider the flavor-violating couplings involving right-handed neutrinos and discuss if the parameters to explain the excesses of the semileptonic $B$ decays can resolve the discrepancy in the the anomalous muon magnetic moment. Based on the analysis, we propose the smoking-gun signals of our model at the LHC.

In the $U(1)_X$ extension of the minimal supersymmetric standard model, there are three Higgs singlets and the corresponding trilinear terms in the Higgs effective potential. These new terms can allow a strongly first order electroweak phase transition(EWPT) for a wide parameter space. We use codes CosmoTransitions to analyze the thermal evolution of the Higgs effective potential and calculate nucleation temperature. To find reasonable parameter spaces for strongly first order EWPT, we randomly scan many parameters, which is numerically expensive. The diagrams are shown, that can lead to the 125 GeV Higgs mass and satisfy the first order EWPT. This work benefits the phenomenology of $U(1)_X$SSM and exploring new physics beyond the SM.

A new perturbative scheme is proposed for the evaluation of the free energy density of field theories at finite temperature. The screened loop expansion takes into account exactly the phenomenon of screening in thermal propagators.The approach is tested in the N-component scalar field theory at 2-loop level and also at 3-loop in the large $N$ limit. The perturbative series generated by the screened loop expansion shows much better numerical convergence than previous expansions generated in powers of the quartic coupling.

LHC analyses directly comparing data and simulated events bear the danger of using first-principle predictions only as a black-box part of event simulation. We show how simulations, for instance, of detector effects can instead be inverted using generative networks. This allows us to reconstruct parton level information from measured events. Our results illustrate how, in general, fully conditional generative networks can statistically invert Monte Carlo simulations. As a technical by-product we show how a maximum mean discrepancy loss can be staggered or cooled.

The current upper limit on $N_{\rm eff}$ at the time of CMB by Planck 2018 can place stringent constraints in the parameter space of BSM paradigms where their additional interactions may affect neutrino decoupling. Motivated by this fact in this paper we explore the consequences of light gauge boson ($Z'$) emerging from local $U(1)_X$ symmetry in $N_{\rm eff}$ at the time of CMB. First, we analyze the generic $U(1)_X$ models with arbitrary charge assignments for the SM fermions and show that, in the context of $N_{\rm eff}$ the generic $U(1)_X$ gauged models can be broadly classified into two categories, depending on the charge assignments of first generation leptons. We then perform a detailed analysis with two specific $U(1)_X$ models: $U(1)_{B_3-3L_e}$ and $U(1)_{B_3-3L_\mu}$ and explore the contribution in $N_{\rm eff}$ due to the presence of $Z'$ realized in those models. For comparison, we also showcase the constraints from low energy experiments like: Borexino, Xenon 1T, neutrino trident, etc. We show that in a specific parameter space, particularly in the low mass region of $Z'$, the bound from $N_{\rm eff}$ (Planck 2018) is more stringent than the experimental constraints. Additionally, a part of the regions of the same parameter space may also relax the $H_0$ tension.

The numerical results show that variation of K factor is in the range between $1.28(1.32)$ and $1.79(1.58)$ at the Tevatron(LHC). We find that the QCD correction part from the one-loop gluon-gluon fusion subprocess is remarkable at the LHC and should be taken into account.

We analyze the temperature dependence of CP violation effects in the Standard Model by determining the effective action of its bosonic fields, obtained after integrating out the fermions from the theory and performing a covariant gradient expansion. We find non-vanishing CP violating terms starting at the sixth order of the expansion, albeit only in the C odd/P even sector, with coefficients that depend on quark masses, CKM matrix elements, temperature and the magnitude of the Higgs field. The CP violating effects are observed to decrease rapidly with temperature, which has important implications for the generation of a matter-antimatter asymmetry in the early Universe. Our results suggest that the cold electroweak baryogenesis scenario may be viable within the Standard Model, provided the electroweak transition temperature is at most of order 1 GeV.

We propose a model of quark flavor based on an additional $SU(2)\times U(1)$ local symmetry in a warped extra dimensional bulk. In contrast to other works, we break the additional gauge symmetry in the bulk via two complex scalars which acquire bulk vevs, rather than relying on brane-localized symmetry breaking. A gauge-covariant Kaluza-Klein decomposition of a theory with a bulk spontaneously broken gauge symmetry is performed, and exact expressions for the bulk profiles of all physical particles in such systems are given. The SM quark masses and mixings are then recreated using gauge-covariant bulk quark mass terms and Yukawa-like couplings to the new bulk scalars. A numerical sampling of points in the model parameter space that recreate the quark masses and mixings is performed at a KK scale of $M_{KK} =5$ TeV. We then compute the $\Delta F = 2$ 4-quark operators arising from our new flavor gauge bosons and scalars, and those arising from Kaluza-Klein modes of SM gauge bosons. By decoupling one of our bulk scalar fields to all quark fields except the right-handed up-like sector, we find that it is possible to greatly suppress tree-level contributions to the highly constrained Kaon mixing parameters. Instead, the dominant constraints on the model emerge from neutral $B_d$ and $D$ meson mixing. These constraints are explored with our numerical sampling of the model parameter space, and the specific contribution of the new flavor gauge bosons and scalars is discussed. We find that for a significant range of realistic flavor gauge couplings, the new gauge bosons compete with the normally dominant gluon flavor-changing currents, but flavor-changing operators emerging from the bulk scalar fields are highly suppressed. Finally, we briefly comment on flavor constraints that are independent of the flavor gauge sector arising from the $Z \bar{b}_L b_L$ coupling and rare top decays.

Combining anomaly with $Z^\prime$ mediation allows us to solve the tachyonic problem of the former and avoid fine tuning in the latter. This model includes an extra $U(1)^\prime$ gauge symmetry and extra singlet scalar $S$ which provides a solution to the `$\mu$ problem' of the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM). The low-energy particle spectrum is calculated from the UV inputs using the Renormalization Group Equations. The benchmark points considered in the original model, suggested before the Higgs discovery, predicted a Higgs mass heavier than the generic MSSM value. In 2012, the Higgs particle was discovered and found to have a mass of 125 GeV. Therefore, we can use that value and other current LHC data to scan the parameter space and update the predictions of the model, in particular the mass of the $Z^\prime$ gauge boson.

Multiquark systems appear less frequently than mesons and baryons despite the enormous world-wide experimental effort that has been made during the last two decades. In this work, we will propose a possible explanation for that fact, restricting ourselves to the case of sets including only $c$ and $\bar{c}$ quarks. We will show that those multiquarks can be thought as different combinations of smaller units that associate together to produce colorless assemblies with a definite value of the total spin. For instance, for the $cccccc$ hexaquark with $S=0$, we have three possibilities: a set of six undistinguishable $c$ quarks, an association of two $ccc$ baryons, or a set of three $cc$ diquarks close together. This means we can have three different values for the mass of an open-charm hexaquark with $S=0$. Using the diffusion Monte Carlo method, we calculate all possible combinations compatible with tetraquark $cc \bar{c} \bar{c}$, pentaquark $cccc \bar{c}$, open-charm $cccccc$ and hidden-charm $ccc \bar{c} \bar{c} \bar{c}$ hexaquark structures with the minimum value of total spin ($S=0$ or $S=1/2$). We consider compact structures with radial wave functions including interactions between all the quarks in the cluster. We find that, in all cases, the mass of the multiquark decreases with the number of small units that conform the set of quarks. For instance, an open charm hexaquark made up of three diquarks has a smaller mass than a set of six of $c$ undistinguishable units. When the pieces that conform the multiquark are themselves colorless with a definite value of the total spin, the cluster splits into those smaller units that separate infinitely from each other.

Excited state mass spectra of the low lying single charmed baryons with non strangeness have been calculated in a hypercentral approach. The six-dimensional hyperradial Schr\"{o}dinger equation is solved by applying a simple variational method.

Excited state mass spectra of the low lying single charmed baryons with non strangeness have been calculated in a hypercentral approach. The six-dimensional hyperradial Schr\"{o}dinger equation is solved by applying a simple variational method. We extend our scheme to predict the magnetic moments and the $ \frac{3}{2}^+ \rightarrow \frac{1}{2}^+ $ transition magnetic moments of $ \Sigma_{c} $ and $ \Lambda_{c} $ state baryons.

We investigate the implications of the nontrivial vacuum structure of little Higgs models. In particular, focusing on the littlest Higgs model, we demonstrate the existence of three types of topological defects. One is a global cosmic string that is truly topological. The second is more subtle; a semilocal cosmic string, which may be stable due to dynamical effects. The final defect is a $Z_2$ monopole solution with an unusual structure. We briefly discuss the possible cosmological consequences of such nonperturbative structures, although we note that these depend crucially on the fermionic content of the models.

Hermitian squared mass matrices of charged leptons and light neutrinos in the flavor basis are studied under general additive lowest order perturbations away from the tribimaximal (TBM) limit in which a weak basis with mass diagonal charged leptons is chosen. Simple analytical expressions are found for the three measurable TBM-deviants in terms of perturbation parameters appearing in the neutrino and charged lepton eigenstates in the flavor basis. Taking unnatural cancellations to be absent and charged lepton perturbation parameters to be small, interrelations are derived among masses, mixing angles and the amount of CP-violation.

By describing strong interactions between hadrons via a relativistic supermultiplet scheme and regarding weak interactions as a perturbation thereof, we derive expressions for nonleptonic weak decay amplitudes in terms of constituent quark masses and CKM angles, with no other parameters. Application of this method leads to $\Delta I=1/2$ dominance in some pseudoscalar meson decays if one scales down the couplings of heavy particles by $\sqrt{M}$ mass factors, in keeping with heavy quark theory expectations. However, certain B and D decay processes to kaons are badly predicted and point to substantial soft gluon renormalization effects in W-quark interactions.

For a range of assumed high energy values for the mass ratios and mixing parameters, they are found to evolve rapidly and develop hierarchies as the energy scale decreases. To achieve the experimentally observed high degree of hierarchy, however, the introduction of new models with specific properties becomes necessary.

We investigate the total inclusive decay rate of the (ground state) $B_c$ meson within the framework of an operator product expansion in inverse powers of the heavy quark masses and subsequent matching onto nonrelativistic QCD. The expansion is organized as a series in the strong coupling and in powers of the heavy quark velocities in the $B_c$, reflecting the nonrelativistic nature of a heavy-heavy bound state. In this aspect the character of the expansion differs from the more familiar case of heavy-light mesons. The framework incorporates systematically corrections to the leading $b$- and $c$-quark decays due to binding effects, as well as contributions from weak annihilation and Pauli interference. Based on this approach we find for the $B_c$ meson lifetime $\tau_{B_c}=(0.4 - 0.7)\,$ps, the dominant mechanism being the decay of the charm constituent.

We present the mechanism of the dynamical supersymmetry (SUSY) breaking at the metastable vacuum in the N=1 U(N) SUSY gauge theory with adjoint superfields. The dynamical SUSY breaking is triggered by the non-vanishing D-term coupled to the observable sector, and is realized by the self-consistent Hartree-Fock approximation of the NJL type while it eventually brings us the non-vanishing F-term as well. We numerically check the local stability of our metastable vacuum.

Many prior studies of in-medium quarkonium suppression have implicitly made use of an adiabatic approximation in which it was assumed that the heavy quark potential is a slowly varying function of time. In the adiabatic limit, one can separately determine the in-medium breakup rate and the medium time evolution, folding these together only at the end of the calculation. In this paper, we relax this assumption by solving the 3d Schrodinger equation in real-time in order to compute quarkonium suppression dynamically. We compare results obtained using the adiabatic approximation with real-time calculations for both harmonic oscillator and realistic complex heavy quark potentials. Using the latter, we find that, for the Upsilon(1s), the difference between the adiabatic approximation and full real-time evolution is at the few percent level, however, for the Upsilon(2s), we find that the correction can be as large as 18% in low temperature regions. For the J/Psi, we find a larger difference between the dynamical evolution and the adiabatic approximation, with the error reaching approximately 36%.

The so-called matrix-element method (MEM) has long been used successfully as a classification tool in particle physics searches. In the presence of invisible final state particles, the traditional MEM typically assigns probabilities to an event -- based on whether it is more signal or background-like -- through a phase space integration over all degrees of freedom of the invisible particles in the process(es). One inherent shortcoming of the traditional MEM is that the phase space integration can be slow, and therefore impractical for high multiplicity final states and/or large data sets. The recent alternative of matrix-element maximisation has recently been introduced to circumvent this problem, since maximising a highly-dimensional function can be a far more CPU-efficient task than that of integration. In this work, matrix-element maximisation is applied to the process of fully-leptonic top associated Higgs production, where the Higgs boson decays to two $b$-quarks. A variety of optimisation algorithms are tested in terms of their performance and speed, and it is explicitly found that the maximisation technique is far more CPU-efficient than the traditional MEM at the cost of a slight reduction in performance. An interesting consequence of using matrix-element maximisation is that the result of the procedure gives an estimate of the four-momenta for the invisible particles in the event. As a result, the idea of using these estimates as input information for more complicated tools is discussed with potential prospects for future developments of the method.

We provide a generic list of effective operators and decay width formulae for any LQD coupling and show the resulting expected SHiP sensitivity for a widespread list of benchmark scenarios via numerical simulations. We compare this sensitivity to expected limits from testing the same decay topology at the LHC with ATLAS.

We carry out a new study of quark mass matrices $M^{}_{\rm u}$ (up-type) and $M^{}_{\rm d}$ (down-type) which are Hermitian and have four zero entries, and find a new part of the parameter space which was missed in the previous works. We identify two more specific four-zero patterns of $M^{}_{\rm u}$ and $M^{}_{\rm d}$ with fewer free parameters, and present two toy flavor-symmetry models which can help realize such special and interesting quark flavor structures. We also show that the texture zeros of $M^{}_{\rm u}$ and $M^{}_{\rm d}$ are essentially stable against the evolution of energy scales in an analytical way by using the one-loop renormalization-group equations.

We identify two more specific four-zero patterns of $M^{}_{\rm u}$ and $M^{}_{\rm d}$ with fewer free parameters, and present two toy flavor-symmetry models which can help realize such special and interesting quark flavor structures. We also show that the texture zeros of $M^{}_{\rm u}$ and $M^{}_{\rm d}$ are essentially stable against the evolution of energy scales in an analytical way by using the one-loop renormalization-group equations.

Motivated by the determination for the spin-parity quantum numbers of the $X(2370)$ meson at BESIII, we extend our dispersive analysis on hadronic ground states to excited states. The idea is to start with the dispersion relation which a correlation function obeys, and subtract the known ground-state contribution from the involved spectral density. Solving the resultant dispersion relation as an inverse problem with available operator-product-expansion inputs, we extract excited-state masses from the subtracted spectral density. This formalism is verified by means of the application to the series of $\rho$ resonances, which establishes the $\rho(770)$, $\rho(1450)$ and $\rho(1700)$ mesons one by one under the sequential subtraction procedure. Our previous study has suggested the admixture of the $f_0(1370)$, $f_0(1500)$ and $f_0(1710)$ mesons (the $\eta(1760)$ meson) to be the lightest scalar (pseudoscalar) glueball. The present work predicts that the $f_0(2200)$ ($X(2370)$) meson is the first excited scalar (pseudoscalar) glueball.

In these proceedings, we review the production of both light and heavy flavor dijets in heavy ion collisions and highlight a promising observable to expose their distinct signatures. We propose the modification of dijet invariant mass distributions in heavy ion collisions as a novel observable that exhibits striking sensitivity to the quark-gluon plasma transport properties and heavy quark mass effects on in-medium parton showers. This observable has the advantage of amplifying the effects of jet quenching in contrast to conventional observables, such as the dijet momentum imbalance shift, which involve cancellations of such effects and, hence, result in less pronounced signals. Predictions are presented for Au+Au collisions at $\sqrt{s_{NN}}$ = 200 GeV to guide the future sPHENIX program at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider.

We study and compare the discovery potential for heavy neutral gauge bosons (Z') at the various $e^+e^-$ and $\mu^+\mu^-$ colliders that have been proposed. Typical search limits for the e^+e^- colliders are 2-10 times sqrt{s} with the large variation reflecting the model dependence of the limits. The search limits for the mu^+ mu^- colliders are slightly lower. Polarization and flavour tagging are important in realizing the highest discovery limits possible. Because the search limits are based on indirect inferences of deviations from standard model predictions, they are sensitive to systematic errors.

A number of promising results of a new 3+1 dimensional Monte Carlo parton cascade including inelastic multiplication processes (gg <--> ggg) are elaborated: (1) thermalization and chemical saturation; (2) the onset of longitudinal hydrodynamical expansion; (3) the build up of elliptic flow. We first briefly outline the basic idea of the algorithm. Full simulations are done with initial conditions for the kinetic partons via minijets or with ones stemming from a color glass condensate. The inclusion of the inelastic channels leads to a very fast kinetic equilibration and also to an early creation of pressure.

Spectral functions at finite temperature and two-loop order are investigated, for a medium consisting of massless particles. We consider them in the timelike and spacelike domains, allowing the propagating particles to be any valid combination of bosons and fermions. Divergences (if present) are analytically derived and set aside for the remaining finite part to be calculated numerically. To illustrate the utility of these 'master' functions, we consider transverse and longitudinal parts of the QCD vector channel spectral function.
