functions in TMD factorization at leading twist are the same. The perturbative
parts can also be studied with scattering of partons instead of hadrons. In
this way, the factorization of many structure functions can only be examined by
studying the scattering of multi-parton states, where there are many diagrams.
These diagrams have no similarities to those treated in the subtractive

loss. {}From general principles the maximum allowed energy loss of partons
traversing the nuclear medium can be related to the parton transverse momenta.
We then show that the experimental data on nuclear suppression of charm- and
bottom- onium for large $x_F$ is consistent with this effect: using the
observed transverse momenta to bound the $x_F$ dependence in an almost model
independent manner generates a relation that practically reproduces the data.

as new universal physical constant. As it well known in the Dirac theory
so-called gyromagnetic factor $g=2$. Quantum electrodynamics together with
electro-weak theory and hadronic contributions predicts deviations from Dirac's
value. It is very important that all these effects \textbf{slightly increase
the $g$-value}. But in our model we have any decreasing of this quantity
$g=2\sqrt{1-m^2/M^2}$, where $m$ - is a lepton mass. The most intriguing
prediction of new approach is the absolute value of this deviation increases
with growth of a lepton mass. In this connection the direct experimental
measurements of $\tau$ - lepton anomalous magnetic moment $a_\tau = (g - 2)/2$
gain in extraordinary importance. The most stringent limit $-0.052 < a_{\tau} <
0.013$ at 95% confidence level, was set by the {\small DELPHI}\cite{delphi}
collaboration. The authors also quote their result in the form of central value
and error $ a_\tau = - 0.018(17).$ To pay attention that the sign of $a_\tau$

It is very important that all these effects \textbf{slightly increase the $g$-value}. But in our model we have any decreasing of this quantity $g=2\sqrt{1-m^2/M^2}$, where $m$ - is a lepton mass. The most intriguing prediction of new approach is the absolute value of this deviation increases with growth of a lepton mass. In this connection the direct experimental measurements of $\tau$ - lepton anomalous magnetic moment $a_\tau = (g - 2)/2$ gain in extraordinary importance. The most stringent limit $-0.052 < a_{\tau} < 0.013$ at 95% confidence level, was set by the {\small DELPHI}\cite{delphi} collaboration. The authors also quote their result in the form of central value and error $ a_\tau = - 0.018(17).$ To pay attention that the sign of $a_\tau$ is the negative and now we can speak about a qualitative agreement with our predictions. |

the effect of CP violation on the dark matter phenomenology. The CP violation
in the dark sector induces a pseudoscalar interaction of a fermionic dark
matter candidate with the SM Higgs boson. The pseudoscalar interaction helps

The CP violation in the dark sector induces a pseudoscalar interaction of a fermionic dark matter candidate with the SM Higgs boson. The pseudoscalar interaction helps the dark matter candidate evade the strong constraints from the dark matter direct detection experiments. We show that the model can explain the measured value of the dark matter density even if dark matter direct detection experiments do not observe any signal.

both modes can be discovered with 3000 fb$^{-1}$ data if the $Z'bs$ coupling
saturates the latest $B_s-\bar B_s$ mixing limit from UTfit at around
$2\sigma$. Besides, a tiny right-handed $Z'bs$ coupling, if it exists, opens up
the possibility of a relatively large left-handed counterpart, due to
cancellation in the $B_s-\bar B_s$ mixing amplitude. In this case, we show that
even a data sample of $\mathcal{O}(100)$ fb$^{-1}$ would enable discovery of
both modes. We further study the impact of a $Z'bb$ coupling as large as the
$Z'bs$ coupling. This scenario enables discovery of the $Z'$ in both modes with
milder effects on the $B_s-\bar B_s$ mixing, but obscures the relevance of the
$Z'$ to $b \to s\ell\ell$. Discrimination between the $Z'bs$ and $Z'bb$

obtained in the lattice simulations for $T=1.5 T_c$, where $T_c$ is the
temperature of the confinement-deconfinement transition. For $T=3.0 T_c$ our
results do not exhibit the resonances obtained from the lattice simulations.
However, the errors presented for the lattice results are large and it is
possible that our results at $T=3.0 T_c$ are consistent with the lattice
results when these errors are taken into account. Since the method used in the
lattice analysis to obtain the spectral functions requires assumptions about
the likelihood of a particular form for the spectral function, we believe our
calculations will be useful to researchers who wish to calculate hadronic
current correlation functions at finite temperature using lattice-based
methods. Our model makes use of temperature-dependent coupling constants for
the NJL model. We present an argument that such temperature dependence is
necessary, if the results of the model are to be consistent with what is known
concerning QCD thermodynamics.

the parameters of this scenario under various experimental constraints,
including the SM-like Higgs boson mass, the indirect limits from precision
electroweak data and B-decays. Then in the allowed parameter space we study the
stop pair production at the LHC followed by the stop decay into a top quark
plus a lightest neutralino or into a bottom quark plus a chargino. From
detailed Monte Carlo simulations of the signals and backgrounds, we find the
two decay modes are complementary to each other in probing the stop pair
production, and the LHC with $\sqrt{s}= 14$ TeV and 100 $fb^{-1}$ luminosity is
capable of discovering the stop predicted in natural MSSM up to 450 GeV. If no
excess events were observed at the LHC, the 95% C.L. exclusion limits of the
stop masses can reach around 537 GeV.

We emphasize that systematic uncertainties in top quark production can confound analyses looking for stops, making theoretical and experimental progress on the understanding of Standard Model top production at high precision a very important task. We estimate that spin correlation alone, which is relatively robust against such systematic uncertainties, can exclude a 200 GeV stop at 95% confidence with 20 fb^-1 at the 8 TeV LHC. |

$f_{0}(1370)$, $f_{0}(1500)$), pseudoscalar ($\eta$, $\eta'(958)$), and vector
($\rho^{0}$) mesons in proton-proton collisions. The amplitudes are formulated
in terms of effective vertices required to respect standard rules of Quantum
Field Theory and propagators for the exchanged pomeron and reggeons. Different
pomeron-pomeron-meson tensorial (vectorial) coupling structures are possible in
general. In most cases two lowest orbital angular momentum - spin couplings are
necessary to describe experimental differential distributions. For the
$f_{0}(980)$ and $\eta$ production the reggeon-pomeron, pomeron-reggeon, and
reggeon-reggeon exchanges are included in addition, which seems to be necessary
at relatively low energies. The theoretical results are compared with the WA102
experimental data, in order to determine the model parameters. For the
$\rho^{0}$ production the photon-pomeron and pomeron-photon exchanges are
considered. The coupling parameters of tensor pomeron and/or reggeon are fixed
from the H1 and ZEUS experimental data of the $\gamma p \to \rho^{0} p$
reaction. We present first predictions of this mechanism for $pp \to pp \pi^{+}
\pi^{-}$ reaction being studied at COMPASS, RHIC, Tevatron, and LHC.
Correlation in azimuthal angle between outgoing protons and distribution in
pion rapidities at $\sqrt{s} = 7$TeV are presented. We show that high-energy

Hadron Spectroscopy (Hadron 2013), November 4-8 2013, Nara, Japan | null | null | null | hep-ph nucl-th | http://arxiv.org/licenses/nonexclusive-distrib/1.0/ | The dense baryonic matter and hadron properties in medium were simulated by
using a Skyrme model including the ground state vector mesons introduced from
the hidden local symmetry approach up to the next to leading order. We found
that both the $\rho$ and $\omega$ mesons affect the baryonic matter and medium
modified hadron properties dramatically. The most remarkable observation is
that, the pion decay constant and the nucleon mass have the similar density
dependence which agrees with the large $N_c$ argument. Explicitly, they drop
with increasing density in the Skyrmion phase and stop decreasing at
$n_{1/2}^{}$ at which the skyrmions in medium fractionize into half-skyrmions
and remains nearly constants in the half-skyrmion phase. This density
dependence in the half-skyrmion phase indicates that, although $\langle
\bar{q}q\rangle \neq 0$ on average in this phase, chiral symmetry is not
restored since hadrons are still massive and there exist pions. In addition,
the nearly constant nucleon mass means that it could has a non-vanishing
component up to the chiral transition, which might shed light on the origin of
the nucleon mass.
