We include nonfactorizable soft gluon corrections into the perturbative QCD
formalism for exclusive nonleptonic heavy meson decays, which combines
factorization theorems and effective field theory. These corrections are
classified according to their color structures, and exponentiated separately to
complete the Sudakov resummation up to next-to-leading logarithms. The
nonfactorizable contributions in nonleptonic decays are clearly identified in
our formalism, and found to be positive for bottom decays and negative for
charm decays. Our analysis confirms that the large-$N_c$ approximaton is
applicable to charm decays, but not to bottom decays, consistent with the
phenomenological implications of experimental data. The comparision of our
predictions with those from QCD sum rules is also made.

We present a novel treatment for calculating the in-medium quark condensates.
The advantage of this approach is that one does not need to make further
assumptions on the derivatives of model parameters with respect to the quark
current mass. The normally accepted model-independent result in nuclear matter
is naturally reproduced. The change of the quark condensate induced by
interactions depends on the incompressibility of nuclear matter. When it is
greater than 260 MeV, the density at which the condensate vanishes is higher
than that from the linear extrapolation. For the chiral condensate in quark
matter, a similar model-independent linear behavior is found at lower
densities, which means that the decreasing speed of the condensate in quark
matter is merely half of that in nuclear matter if the pion-nucleon sigma
commutator is six times the average current mass of u and d quarks. The
modification due to QCD-like interactions is found to slow the decreasing speed
of the condensate, compared with the linear extrapolation.

If the standard electroweak gauge model is extended to include two or more
Higgs doublets, there may be a neutral Higgs boson $h$ which is light (with a
mass of say 10 GeV) but the $hZZ$ coupling is suppressed so that it has so far
escaped experimental detection. However, the effective $hhZZ$ coupling is
generally unsuppressed, hence the decay of Z into two light Higgs bosons plus a
fermion-antifermion pair may have an observable branching fraction, especially
if $h$ decays invisibly as for example in the recently proposed doublet Majoron
model.

We propose a minimal type II seesaw model by introducing only one
right-handed neutrino besides the $SU(2)_{L}$ triplet Higgs to the standard
model. In the usual type II seesaw models with several right-handed neutrinos,
the contributions of the right-handed neutrinos and the triplet Higgs to the CP
asymmetry, which stems from the decay of the lightest right-handed neutrino,
are proportional to their respective contributions to the light neutrino mass
matrix. However, in our minimal type II seesaw model, this CP asymmetry is just
given by the one-loop vertex correction involving the triplet Higgs, even
though the contribution of the triplet Higgs does not dominate the light
neutrino masses. For illustration, the Fritzsch-type lepton mass matrices are
considered.

The relation between shapes of cosmic string and baryon number violation is
investigated. If there exist fermionic zero modes on the string, using
bosonization technique, it is possible to obtain the effective action which
describes the fermion coupled to the arbitrarily shaped cosmic string. The
relation between baryon number and the sum of the writhing number and linking
number of the cosmic strings is rederived. Baryons are created on the strings
as the shapes of the cosmic strings change. Furthermore we discuss implications
of this baryon number violating process to baryogenesis.

Several theoretical motivations point to ultralight QCD axions with large
decay constants $f_a \simeq \mathcal{O}(10^{16}-10^{17})$ GeV, to which
experimental proposals are dedicated. This regime is known to face the problem
of overproduction of axion dark matter from the misalignment mechanism unless
the misalignment angle $\theta_{\rm mis}$ is as small as
$\mathcal{O}(10^{-3}-10^{-4})$, which is generally considered a fine-tuning
problem. We investigate a dynamical explanation for a small $\theta_{\rm mis}$.
The axion mass arises from strong dynamics and may be sufficiently enhanced by
early dynamics so as to overcome Hubble friction and drive the field value to
the bottom of the potential long before the QCD phase transition. Together with
an approximate CP symmetry in the theory, this minimum is very closely related
to today's value and thus $\theta_{\rm mis}$ can automatically be well under
unity. Owing to such efficient relaxation, the isocurvature perturbations are
essentially damped. As an existence proof, using supersymmetric theories we
illustrate that the Higgs coupling with the inflaton energy can successfully
achieve this axion damping in a consistent inflationary cosmology.

Precision measurements of $Z^0$ boson properties could enable a determination
of the mass of the b quark at the scale of the $Z^0$ boson mass $m_b(m_Z)$. The
dependence of Standard Model predictions on the b quark mass using the program
Gfitter is studied. The precision of the currently available measurements by
the LEP experiments and SLD, together with measurements from the LHC
experiments of the mass of the top quark and the Higgs boson, is not sufficient
for a relevant measurement. The predicted precision of $Z^0$ boson resonance
measurements at future $e^+e^-$ colliders will allow a competitive
determination of $m_b(m_Z)$.

pulses with sub-cycle structure. We use the quantum kinetic formulation to
calculate the momentum spectrum of created particles and show the extreme
sensitivity to the laser frequency $\omega$, the pulse length $\tau$ and the
carrier-envelope absolute phase $\phi$. We apply this formalism to both
fermions and bosons to illustrate the influence of quantum statistics in this

Fluctuations and correlations of conserved quantities in the confined phase
of QCD are a viable way to characterize the existence of exotic and missing
states with given quantum numbers in the hadronic spectrum. We study a
realization of the Hadron Resonance Gas model in the light quark (uds) flavor
sector of QCD to study the fluctuations and static correlators of electric
charge, baryon number and strangeness. It is also conjectured an interesting
duality between the correlators at zero temperature, and the fluctuations of
integrated quantities at low temperatures, leading to the appearance of a dual
Hagedorn distance for the former.

We solve the radiative transfer equation (RTE) in anisotropically scattering
media as an infinite series. Each series term represents a distinct number of
scattering events, with analytical solutions derived for zero and single
scattering. Higher-order corrections are addressed through numerical
calculations or approximations.
The RTE solution corresponds to Monte Carlo sampling of photon trajectories
with fixed start and end points.
Validated against traditional Monte Carlo simulations, featuring random end
points, our solution demonstrates enhanced efficiency for both anisotropic and
isotropic scattering functions, significantly reducing computational time and
resources.
The advantage of our method over Monte Carlo simulations varies with the
position of interest and the asymmetry of light scattering, but it is typically
orders of magnitude faster while achieving the same level of accuracy.
The exploitation of hidden symmetries further accelerates our numerical
calculations, enhancing the method's overall efficiency.
In addition, we extend our analysis to the first and second moments of the
photon's flux, elucidating the transition between transport and diffusive
regimes.

We study the phenomenology of the pair-production of scalar color-octet
electroweak singlet states at the LHC. Such states appear in many extensions of
the Standard Model. They can be pair-produced copiously at the LHC and will
signal themselves as resonances in multijet final states. Beyond the QCD
pair-production process we consider a vectorlike confinement scenario with an
additional color-octet vector state. These vector particles can be produced in
the s-channel and through their decay contribute to the scalar pair production.
We point out the differences between the two hypotheses and device a strategy
to distinguish them.

We study the phenomenology of the pair-production of scalar color-octet electroweak singlet states at the LHC. Such states appear in many extensions of the Standard Model. They can be pair-produced copiously at the LHC and will signal themselves as resonances in multijet final states. Beyond the QCD pair-production process we consider a vectorlike confinement scenario with an additional color-octet vector state. These vector particles can be produced in the s-channel and through their decay contribute to the scalar pair production. We point out the differences between the two hypotheses and device a strategy to distinguish them.

We investigate the double parton distributions (DPDs) for a positronium-like
bound state using light-front QED. We incorporate the higher Fock three
particle component of the state, that includes a photon. We obtain the overlap
representation of the DPDs in terms of the three-particle light-front wave
functions (LFWFs). Our calculation explores the correlations between the
momentum fractions of the particles probed and the transverse distance between
them, without any assumption of factorization between them. We also investigate
the behavior of the DPDs near the kinematical boundary when the sum of the
momentum fractions is close to one.

We analyze various possible interpretations of the narrow state
$D_{sJ}^+(2632)$ observed by SELEX Collaboration recently, which lies above
threshold and has abnormal decay pattern. These interpretations include: (1)
several versions of tetraquarks; (2) conventional $c\bar s$ meson such as the
first radial excitation of $D_s(2112)$ with abnormally large SU(3) symmetry
breaking; (3) conventional $c\bar s$ meson with abnormally large $\eta_1$
coupling; (4) heavy hybrid meson. We discuss the physical implications of each
interpretation. For example, if the existence of $D_{sJ}^+(2632)$ is confirmed
as the first radial excitation of $D_s(2112)$ by other experiments, it will be
helpful to look for (1) its SU(3) flavor partners $D_{J}^{0,+}(2530)$; (2) its
B-meson analogues $B_{J}^{0,+}(5840), B_{sJ}^+(5940)$; (3) S-wave two pion
decay modes.

The newly discovered "Higgs" boson h^0, being lighter than the top quark t,
opens up new probes for flavor and mass generation. In the general two Higgs
doublet model, new ct, cc and tt Yukawa couplings could modify h^0 properties.
If t --> ch^0 occurs at the percent level, the observed ZZ^* and \gamma\gamma
signal events may have accompanying cbW activity coming from t\bar{t} feeddown.
We suggest that t --> ch^0 can be searched for via h^0 --> ZZ^*, \gamma\gamma,
WW^* and b\bar{b}, perhaps even \tau^+\tau^- modes in t\bar{t} events. Existing
data might be able to reveal some clues for t --> ch^0 signature, or push the
branching ratio B(t --> ch^0) down to below the percent level.

In our recent work we identify the hybrid textures of neutrino mass matrix
which simultaneously account for dark matter (DM) and neutrinoless double beta
decay ($0\nu\beta\beta$). We also obtained the bounds on dark matter mass and
effective Majorana mass $|M_{ee}|$. In this work we look for those hybrid
textures which altogether accounts for DM, $0\nu\beta\beta$ and leptogenesis.
We have found correlation of baryon asymmetry of universe $Y$ with dark matter
mass $M_1$ and effective Majorana mass $|M_{ee}|$. We use experimental bounds
on relic density of dark matter ($\Omega h^2$) and baryon asymmetry of universe
to identify the hybrid textures. We found that out of five hybrid textures
which simultaneously satisfies the physics observations of the DM and
$0\nu\beta\beta$ only three hybrid textures altogether satisfy the DM,
$0\nu\beta\beta$ and leptogenesis. It is interesting to note that these three
hybrid textures gives lower bound to the effective Majorana mass $|M_{ee}|$
which can be probed in current and future experiments like SuperNEMO,
KamLAND-Zen, NEXT, and nEXO (5 year) have sensitivity reaches of 0.05 eV, 0.045
eV, 0.03 eV, and 0.015 eV, respectively.

Longitudinal lepton polarization asymmetry in B_q -> l l (q = d, s$ and l =
e, mu, tau) decays is investigated. The analysis is done in a general manner by
using the effective operators approach. It is shown that the longitudinal
lepton polarization asymmetry would provide a direct search for the scalar and
pseudoscalar type interactions, which are induced in all variants of
Higgs-doublet models.

With the recent measurements of temperature and polarization anisotropies in
the microwave background by WMAP, we have entered a new era of precision
cosmology, with the cosmological parameters of a Standard Cosmological Model
determined to 1%. This Standard Model is based on the Big Bang theory and the
inflationary paradigm, a period of exponential expansion in the early universe
responsible for the large-scale homogeneity and spatial flatness of our
observable patch of the Universe. The spectrum of metric perturbations, seen in
the microwave background as temperature anisotropies, were produced during
inflation from quantum fluctuations that were stretched to cosmological size by
the expansion, and later gave rise, via gravitational collapse, to the observed
large-scale structure of clusters and superclusters of galaxies. Furthermore,
the same theory predicts that all the matter and radiation in the universe
today originated at the end of inflation from an explosive production of
particles that could also have been the origin of the present baryon asymmetry,
before the universe reached thermal equilibrium at a very large temperature.
From there on, the universe cooled down as it expanded, in the way described
by the standard hot Big Bang model.

Electroweak vacuum stability in classically conformal B-L extension of

We consider the minimal U(1)$_{B-L}$ extension of the Standard Model (SM)
with the classically conformal invariance, where an anomaly free U(1)$_{B-L}$
gauge symmetry is introduced along with three generations of right-handed
neutrinos and a U(1)$_{B-L}$ Higgs field. Because of the classically conformal
symmetry, all dimensional parameters are forbidden. The $B-L$ gauge symmetry is
radiatively broken through the Coleman-Weinberg mechanism, generating the mass
for the $U(1)_{B-L}$ gauge boson ($Z^\prime$ boson) and the right-handed
neutrinos. Through a small negative coupling between the SM Higgs doublet and
the $B-L$ Higgs field, the negative mass term for the SM Higgs doublet is
generated and the electroweak symmetry is broken. In this model context, we
investigate the electroweak vacuum instability problem in the SM. It is known
that in the classically conformal U(1)$_{B-L}$ extension of the SM, the
electroweak vacuum remains unstable in the renormalization group analysis at
the one-loop level. In this paper, we extend the analysis to the two-loop
level, and perform parameter scans. We identify a parameter region which not
only solve the vacuum instability problem, but also satisfy the recent ATLAS
and CMS bounds from search for $Z^\prime$ boson resonance at the LHC Run-2.
Considering self-energy corrections to the SM Higgs doublet through the
right-handed neutrinos and the $Z^\prime$ boson, we derive the naturalness
bound on the model parameters to realize the electroweak scale without
fine-tunings.

top quarks can be included in Monte Carlo parton showers, in particular those
matched to NLO QCD computations. We consider the production of $n$ pairs of
leptons, originating from the decays of $n$ electroweak vector bosons or of $n$
top quarks, in the narrow-width approximation. In the latter case, the
information on the $n$ $b$ quarks emerging from the decays is also retained. We
give results of implementing this procedure in MC@NLO

massless QCD at order ${\cal O}(\alpha_s^4)$, with all colour factors being
given for a generic colour group. As a direct consequence we arrive at: (i) the
full QCD contribution to the QED $\beta$--function of order $\alpha^2\,
\alpha_s^4$ in the MSbar- and MOM-schemes; (ii) the full five-loop result of
order $\alpha^6$ for the $\beta$-function of QED with a generic number of
single-charged fermions, again for the MSbar- and MOM-schemes.

A possible implication of an ultralight dark matter (UDM) field interacting
wibeginth the Standard Model (SM) degrees of freedom is oscillations of
fundamental constants. Here, we establish direct experimental bounds on the
coupling of an oscillating UDM field to the up, down, and strange quarks and to
the gluons, for oscillation frequencies between 10 Hz and 10^8 Hz. We employ
spectroscopic experiments that take advantage of the dependence of molecular
transition frequencies on the nuclear masses. Our results apply to previously
unexplored frequency bands, and improve on existing bounds at frequencies > 5
MHz. We identify a sector of UDM - SM coupling space where the bounds from
Equivalence Principle tests may be challenged by next-generation experiments of
the present kind.

A New Method to Predict Meson Masses

The Feynman--Hellmann theorem is used to show that vector meson energy
eigenvalues are monotonically decreasing functions of the reduced masses of
their constituent quarks. The experimental meson masses are used to put
constraints on the values of quark masses and to predict the masses of some as
yet undiscovered mesons. The mass of the $B_c^*$ meson is predicted to be
$6320\pm 10$ MeV, and, with less precision, the masses of a number of excited
vector mesons are also predicted.

The breaking of flavor SU(3) symmetry in the axial couplings and magnetic
moments of baryons is analyzed in the $1/N_c$ expansion. A simple meson loop
graph which is known to be of order $\sqrt{m_s}$ and leading order in $1/N_c$
correctly predicts the pattern of symmetry breaking in the magnetic moments. It
is, however, not possible to use this graph to predict the magnitude of the
breaking. The situation with the axial couplings is less clear. In this case
the breakings are relatively small and do not appear to follow an obvious
pattern. Nevertheless there is a clear indication that, with symmetry breaking
taken into account, the F/D ratio (defined in the presence of SU(3) breaking)
is considerably less than the SU(6) value of 2/3. With sizeable uncertainty, we
find F/D \approx 0.44. The quantity 3F-D which is relevant for the analysis of
spin-dependent deep inelastic scattering is considerably smaller than the SU(6)
value of unity. The new value, 3F-D=0.27+-0.09, is consistent with vanishing
strange-quark spin in the nucleon.

In this work, we calculate the decay rates of the OZI-forbidden processes
$J/\psi(\Upsilon)\to \pi\pi, \rho\pi$ at the order of the leading-twist
distribution amplitude. The process of $J/\psi(\Upsilon)\to \pi^+ \pi^-$
violates isospin conservation and the amplitude is explicitly proportional to
the isospin violation factor $m_u-m_d$, our numerical results on their decay
rates are consistent with the data. The process $J/\psi(\Upsilon)\to \rho\pi$
violates the hadronic helicity conservation and should be suppressed, as
indicated in literature, its decay rate can only be proportional to $m_q^2$ at
the order of leading twist. Our theoretical evaluation confirms this statement
that the theoretical evaluation on $\Gamma(J/\psi(\Upsilon)\to \rho\pi)$ is
almost one order smaller than the data unless the model parameters take certain
extreme values. It may imply that the sizable branching ratio of
$J/\psi(\Upsilon)\to \rho\pi$ should be explained by either higher twist
contributions or other mechanisms.

The importance of $S$-matrix unitarity in realistic meson spectroscopy is
reviewed, both its historical development and more recent applications. First
the effects of imposing $S$-matrix unitarity on meson resonances is
demonstrated in both the elastic and the inelastic case. Then, the static quark
model is revisited and its theoretical as well as phenomenological shortcomings
are highlighted. A detailed account is presented of the mesons in the tables of
the Particle Data Group that cannot be explained at all or only poorly in
models describing mesons as pure quark-antiquark bound states. Next the
earliest unitarised and coupled-channel models are revisited, followed by
several examples of puzzling meson resonances and their understanding in a
modern unitarised framework. Also, recent and fully unquenched lattice
descriptions of such mesons are summarised. Finally, attention is paid to
production processes, which require an unconventional yet related unitary
approach. Proposals for further improvement are discussed.

We investigate wide-angle pi^0 photoproduction within the handbag approach to
twist-3 accuracy. In contrast to earlier work both the 2-particle as well as
the 3-particle twist-3 contributions are taken into account. It is shown that
both are needed for consistent results that respect gauge invariance and
crossing properties. The numerical studies reveal the dominance of the twist-3
contribution. With it fair agreement with the recent CLAS measurement of the
pi^0 cross section is obtained. We briefly comment also on wide-angle
photoproduction of other pseudoscalar mesons.

We construct an effective field theory describing the decays of a heavy
vector resonance $V$ into Standard Model particles. The effective theory is
built using an extension of Soft-Collinear Effective Theory called SCET$_{\rm
BSM}$, which provides a rigorous framework for parameterizing decay matrix
elements with manifest power counting in the ratio of the electroweak scale and
the mass of the resonance, $\lambda\sim v/m_V$. Using the renormalization-group
evolution of the couplings in the effective Lagrangian, large logarithms
associated with this scale ratio can be resummed to all orders. We consider in
detail the two-body decays of a heavy $Z'$ boson and of a Kaluza-Klein gluon at
leading and subleading order in $\lambda$. We illustrate the matching onto
SCET$_{\rm BSM}$ with a concrete example of a UV-complete new-physics model.

Recently we have proposed a renormalizable grand unified theory, based on the
SU(5) gauge symmetry, where the neutrino masses are generated through the type
I and type III seesaw mechanisms. In this letter we study the supersymmetric
version of this theory. As in the non-susy version it is possible to generate
all fermion masses with the minimal number of Higgses, the theory predicts one
massless neutrino and the leptogenesis mechanism can be realized. All
contributions to the decay of the proton and the properties of neutralinos are
discussed. This theory can be considered as the simplest renormalizable
supersymmetric grand unified theory based on the SU(5) gauge symmetry since it
has the minimal number of superfields and free parameters.

Non-perturbative preheating decay of post-inflationary condensates often
results in a high density, low momenta, non-thermal gas. In the case where the
non-perturbative classical evolution also leads to Q-balls, this effect shields
them from instant dissociation, and may radically change the thermal history of
the universe. For example, in a large class of inflationary scenarios,
motivated by the MSSM and its embedding in string theory, the reheat
temperature changes by a multiplicative factor of $10^{12}$.

Dark matter that is capable of sufficiently heating a local region in a white
dwarf will trigger runaway fusion and ignite a type Ia supernova. This was
originally proposed in Graham et al. (2015) and used to constrain primordial
black holes which transit and heat a white dwarf via dynamical friction. In
this paper, we consider dark matter (DM) candidates that heat through the
production of high-energy standard model (SM) particles, and show that such
particles will efficiently thermalize the white dwarf medium and ignite
supernovae. Based on the existence of long-lived white dwarfs and the observed
supernovae rate, we derive new constraints on ultra-heavy DM which produce SM
particles through DM-DM annihilations, DM decays, and DM-SM scattering
interactions in the stellar medium. As a concrete example, we rule out
supersymmetric Q-ball DM in parameter space complementary to terrestrial
bounds. We put further constraints on DM that is captured by white dwarfs,
considering the formation and self-gravitational collapse of a DM core which
heats the star via decays and annihilations within the core. It is also
intriguing that the DM-induced ignition discussed in this work provide an
alternative mechanism of triggering supernovae from sub-Chandrasekhar,
non-binary progenitors.

these models at the ILC. It is found that the Majorana nature of the models can

The $\nu\bar{\nu}\gamma \gamma$ couplings parametrized with the non-standard
dimension-seven operators defined by the Effective Field Theory framework are
investigated through the process $pp\to \nu\bar{\nu}\gamma$ at the High
Luminosity-LHC and the Future Circular proton-proton Collider. The effective
Lagrangian of $\nu\bar{\nu}\gamma \gamma$ couplings is implemented into
FeynRules to generate a UFO module inserted into Madgraph to generate both
background and signal events. These events are then passed through Pythia 8 for
parton showering and Delphes to include realistic detector effects. The
sensitivities on $\nu\bar{\nu}\gamma \gamma$ couplings are obtained at $95\%$
confidence level. We show that the analysis of the signal emerging from the
process $pp\to \nu\bar{\nu}\gamma$ allows to improve constraints on
$\nu\bar{\nu}\gamma \gamma$ couplings given by the LEP collaboration.

Nonperturbative effects in heavy quarkonia

Same results, but some conceptual ramifications and explanations. 32
pages. RevTex

An effective hamiltonian for heavy quarkonia is derived from QCD by
separating gluonic fields in background and quantum fields and neglecting
anharmonic contributions. Mesonic states with nonperturbative gluonic
components are constructed. These states are invariant under gauge changes of
the background fields and form an orthogonal basis. The effective hamiltonian
is diagonalized in this basis in a systematic $1/m$- and short distance
expansion. For very heavy quarkonia, we obtain an effective potential similar
to the phenomenological funnel potential. We compare our method to $2^{\rm nd}$
order perturbation theory in the background fields and demonstrate its
applicability even for the relatively light charmonium system. The results to
order $1/m$ for pseudoscalar meson masses and wave functions are shown and
compared with those of the Cornell model.

It has been shown that the shape of the luminosity function of white dwarfs
can be a powerful tool to check for the possible existence of DFSZ-axions. In
particular, Isern et al. (2008) showed that, if the axion mass is of the order
of a few meV, then the white dwarf luminosity function is sensitive enough to
detect their existence. For axion masses of about $m_a > 5$ meV the axion
emission can be a primary cooling mechanism for the white dwarf and the
feedback of the axion emission into the thermal structure of the white dwarf
needs to be considered. Here we present computations of white dwarf cooling
sequences that take into account the effect of axion emission in a self
consistent way by means of full stellar evolution computations. Then, we study
and discuss the impact of the axion emission in the white dwarf luminosity
function.

We determine the infrared behaviour of the BFKL forward amplitude for
gluon-gluon scattering. Our approach, based on the discrete pomeron solution,
leads to an excellent description of the new combined inclusive HERA data at
low values of x (<0.01) and at the same time determines the unintegrated gluon
density inside the proton, for squared transverse momenta of the gluon less
than 100 GeV^2. The phases of this amplitude are sensitive to the
non-perturbative gluonic dynamics and could be sensitive to the presence of
Beyond-the-Standard-Model particles at very high energies.

Measurements of the $W^\pm$ mass ($m_W$) provide an important consistency
check of the Standard Model (SM) and constrain the possibility of physics
beyond the SM. Precision measurements of $m_W$ at hadron colliders are inferred
from kinematic distributions of transverse variables. We examine how this
inference is modified when considering the presence of physics beyond the SM
expressed in terms of local contact operators. We show that Tevatron
measurements of $m_W$ using transverse variables are transparent and applicable
as consistent constraints in the Standard Model Effective Field Theory (SMEFT)
with small measurement bias. This means that the leading challenge to
interpreting these measurements in the SMEFT is the pure theoretical
uncertainty in how these measurements are mapped to Lagrangian parameters. We
stress the need to avoid using naive combinations of Tevatron and LEPII
measurements of $m_W$ without the introduction of any SMEFT theoretical error
to avoid implicit UV assumptions. In a companion paper, we implement our
procedure to consistently incorporate $m_W$ measurements into a global fit.

The Schwinger confinement mechanism stipulates that a massless fermion and a
massless antifermion are confined as a massive boson when they interact in the
Abelian QED interaction in (1+1)D. If we approximate light quarks as massless
and apply the Schwinger confinement mechanism to quarks, we can infer that a
light quark and a light antiquark interacting in the Abelian QED interaction
are confined as a QED meson in (1+1)D. Similarly, a light quark and a light
antiquark interacting in the QCD interaction in the quasi-Abelian approximation
will be confined as a QCD meson in (1+1)D. The QED and QCD mesons in (1+1)D can
represent physical mesons in (3+1)D when the flux tube radius is properly taken
into account. Such a theory leads to a reasonable description of the masses of
$\pi^0, \eta$, and $ \eta'$, and its extrapolation to the unknown QED sector
yields an isoscalar QED meson at about 17 MeV and an isovector QED meson at
about 38 MeV. The observations of the anomalous soft photons, the hypothetical
X17 particle, and the hypothetical E38 particle bear promising evidence for the
possible existence of the QED mesons. Pending further confirmation, they hold
important implications on the properties on the quarks and their interactions.

ground-state antihydrogen by ASACUSA and on recent results obtained in
supporting measurements from hydrogen. The $\sigma_1$ and $\pi_1$ transitions
can now be investigated, which is beneficial from both theoretical and
experimental perspectives. We discuss systematic effects from resonance
interference originating from the chosen field geometries in the interaction
region, and how their impact can be managed by appropriate data-taking or

Suppression of $\pi^0$ production at large $p_\perp$ in central $Au +Au$

We investigate the suppression of $\pi^0$-spectrum in a wide range of
$p_\perp$ up 60 GeV/c which is caused by the energy loss of the gluon and quark
jets in quark-gluon plasma. The physical characteristics of initial and mixed
phases were found in the effective quasiparticle model by analogy with previous
work \cite{5}. The PHENIX data up 10 GeV/c within the limits of precision are
described by quasiparticle model with decrease of the thermal gluon mass and
effective coupling in the region of phase transitin (at $T\to T_c$ from above).
We also take into account the intrinsic transverse momentum $k_\perp$ of
partons.
The suppression factor $R_{AA}(p_\perp)$ shows the weak rise with increase of
$p_\perp$ above 4 GeV/c, then it reaches smooth maximum at $p_\perp \sim 20$
GeV/c and then decrease at $p_\perp\sim 60$ GeV/c again to value $R_{AA}$ at
$p_\perp\simeq$ 4 GeV/c. The factor $R_{AA}$ in this range of $p_\perp$ is
changihg weakly if intrinsic momentum $k_\perp$ is taken into account.

We investigate the suppression of $\pi^0$-spectrum in a wide range of $p_\perp$ up 60 GeV/c which is caused by the energy loss of the gluon and quark jets in quark-gluon plasma. The physical characteristics of initial and mixed phases were found in the effective quasiparticle model by analogy with previous work \cite{5}. The PHENIX data up 10 GeV/c within the limits of precision are described by quasiparticle model with decrease of the thermal gluon mass and effective coupling in the region of phase transitin (at $T\to T_c$ from above). We also take into account the intrinsic transverse momentum $k_\perp$ of partons. The suppression factor $R_{AA}(p_\perp)$ shows the weak rise with increase of $p_\perp$ above 4 GeV/c, then it reaches smooth maximum at $p_\perp \sim 20$ GeV/c and then decrease at $p_\perp\sim 60$ GeV/c again to value $R_{AA}$ at $p_\perp\simeq$ 4 GeV/c. The factor $R_{AA}$ in this range of $p_\perp$ is changihg weakly if intrinsic momentum $k_\perp$ is taken into account.

We revisit the light pseudoscalar $A_1$ in the Next-to-Minimal Supersymmetric
Standard Model (NMSSM) with partial universality at some high unification scale
in order to delineate the parameter space regions consistent with up-to-date
theoretical and experimental constraints and examine to what extent this state
can be probed by the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) during Run 2. We find that it
can be accessible through a variety of signatures proceeding via $A_1\to
\tau^+\tau^-$ and/or $b\bar b$, the former assuming hadronic decays and the
latter two $b$-tags within a fat jet or two separate slim ones. Herein, the
light pseudoscalar state is produced from a heavy Higgs boson decay in either
pairs or singly in association with a $Z$ boson (in turn decaying into
electrons/muons).

We argue that instantons play a crucial role in triggering the spontaneous
breaking of chiral symmetry in the physics of the three light quarks in quantum
chromodynamics. However, instantons may also play an essential role in our
understanding of the suppression of CP violation in the strong interactions. We
revive the possibility that the bare mass of the up quark is identically zero
and the apparent small up quark mass is generated by the effective quark
dynamics associated with instantons. In this case, the strong CP phase becomes
unobservable and there is no strong CP violation.

The direct-search experiment for dark matter performed by the CDMS II
Collaboration has observed two candidate events. Although these events cannot
be interpreted as significant evidence for the presence of weakly interacting
massive particle (WIMP) dark matter (DM), the total CDMS II data have led to an
improved upper-limit on the WIMP-nucleon spin-independent cross-section. We
study some implications of these results for the simplest WIMP DM model, the
SM+D, which extends the standard model (SM) by the addition of a real
SM-singlet scalar field dubbed darkon to play the role of the DM. We find that,
although the CDMS II data rule out a sizable portion of parameter space of the
model, a large part of the parameter space is still allowed. We obtain strong
correlations among the darkon mass, darkon-nucleon cross-section, mass of the
Higgs boson, and branching ratio of its invisible decay. We point out that
measurements of the Higgs invisible branching-ratio at the LHC can lift some
possible ambiguities in determining the darkon mass from direct DM searches.

It is shown that the ratio of the production rates of the pairs (B+ B-) and
(B0 anti-B0) should experience a substantial and rapid variation with energy
within the width of the Upsilon(4S) resonance, crossing the value of one near
the center of the resonance. This behavior is due to an interference of the
rapidly changing with energy Breit-Wigner phase with the phase introduced in
the wave function of charged mesons by their Coulomb interaction.

We develop the minimal model of a new leading order parameterization of GPDs
introduced by Shuvaev and Polyakov. The model for GPDs H and E is formulated in
terms of the forward quark distributions, the Gegenbauer moments of the D-term
and the forward limit of the GPD E. The model is designed primarely for small
and medium-size values of x_B, x_B \leq 0.2.
We examined two different models of the t-dependence of the GPDs: The
factorized exponential model and the non-factorized Regge-motivated model.
Using our model, we successfully described the DVCS cross section measured by
H1 and ZEUS, the moments of the beam-spin A_{LU}^{\sin \phi}, beam-charge
A_{C}^{\cos \phi} and transversely-polarized target A_{UT}^{\sin \phi \cos
\phi} DVCS asymmetries measured by HERMES and A_{LU}^{\sin \phi} measured by
CLAS. The data on A_{C}^{\cos \phi} prefers the Regge-motivated model of the
t-dependence of the GPDs. The data on A_{UT}^{\sin \phi \cos \phi} indicates
that the u and d quarks carry only a small fraction of the proton total angular
momentum.

In this work we study unpolarized spin $1/2$ baryonic deep inelastic
scattering (DIS) in the regime of large Bjorken parameter $x$. We calculate the
corresponding structure functions $F_{1,2}(x,q^2)$. Our approach is based on an
AdS/QCD model with a deformed background, where we consider an exponential
factor in the AdS$_5$ metric. Such a deformation implies the introduction of an
anomalous dimension in the model. Our results for the structure functions are
consistent with those found in the literature from experimental data.

I discuss the phase diagram for QCD in the baryon chemical potential and
temperature plane. I argue that there is a new phase of matter different from
the deconfined Quark Gluon Plasma: Quarkyonic Matter. Quarkyonic Matter is
confined and exists at densities parametrically large compared to the QCD
scale, when the number of quark colors, $N_c$ is large. I motivate the
possibility that Quarkyonic Matter is in an inhomogeneous phase, and is
surrounded by lines of phase transitions, making a Happy Island in the
$\mu_B$-T plane. I conjecture about the geography of Happy Island.

Taking the supersymmetric inverse seesaw mechanism as the explanation for
neutrino oscillation data, we investigate charged lepton flavor violation in
radiative and 3-body lepton decays as well as in neutrinoless $\mu-e$
conversion in muonic atoms. In contrast to former studies, we take into account
all possible contributions: supersymmetric as well as non-supersymmetric. We
take CMSSM-like boundary conditions for the soft supersymmetry breaking
parameters. We find several regions where cancellations between various
contributions exist, reducing the lepton flavor violating rates by an order of
magnitude compared to the case where only the dominant contribution is taken
into account. This is in particular important for the correct interpretation of
existing data as well as for estimating the reach of near future experiments
where the sensitivity will be improved by one to two orders of magnitude.
Moreover, we demonstrate that ratios like BR($\tau\to 3 \mu$)/BR($\tau\to \mu
e^+ e^-$) can be used to determine whether the supersymmetric contributions
dominate over the $W^\pm$ and $H^\pm$ contributions or vice versa.

We investigate the effect of supersymmetric CP violating phases on the
inclusive decay B\to X_d\gamma. Although such a decay contains a large
background from B\to X_s\gamma, if isolated it may exhibit sizeable CP
violation, both in the Standard Model (SM) and in the context of models beyond
the SM. With unconstrained supersymmetric CP violating phases we show that the
direct CP asymmetry (A_CP) lies in the region -40% \le A_CP \le 40%, where a
positive asymmetry would constitute a clear signal of physics beyond the SM.
Even if a direct measurement of B\to X_d\gamma proves too dif ficult
experimentally, its asymmetry contributes non-negligibly to the measurements of
A_CP for B\to X_s\gamma, and thus should be included in future analyses. We
show t hat there may be both constructive and destructive interference between
A^d\gamma_CP and A^s\gamma_CP.

Experiments in the high-luminosity runs at the Large Hadron Collider face the
challenges of very large pile-up. Primary techniques to deal with this are
based on precise vertex and track reconstruction. Outside tracker acceptances,
however, lie regions of interest for many aspects of the LHC physics program.
We explore complementary approaches to pile-up treatment and propose a
data-driven jet-mixing method which can be used outside tracker acceptances
without depending on Monte Carlo generators. The method can be applied to treat
correlation observables and take into account, besides the jet transverse
momentum pedestal, effects of hard jets from pile-up.

Experiments in the high-luminosity runs at the Large Hadron Collider face the challenges of very large pile-up. Primary techniques to deal with this are based on precise vertex and track reconstruction. Outside tracker acceptances, however, lie regions of interest for many aspects of the LHC physics program. We explore complementary approaches to pile-up treatment and propose a data-driven jet-mixing method which can be used outside tracker acceptances without depending on Monte Carlo generators. The method can be applied to treat correlation observables and take into account, besides the jet transverse momentum pedestal, effects of hard jets from pile-up.

Some time ago, an accurate phenomenological approach, the BSW model, was
developed for proton-proton and antiproton-proton elastic scattering cross
sections at center-of-mass energies above 10 GeV. This model has been used to
give successful theoretical predictions for these processes, at successive
collider energies. The BSW model involves a combination of integrals that,
while computable numerically at fairly high energies, require some mathematical
analysis to reveal the high-energy asymptotic behavior. In this paper we
present a high-energy asymptotic representation of the scattering amplitude at
moderate momentum transfer, for the leading order in an expansion parameter
closely related to the logarithm of the center-of-mass energy. The fact that
the expansion parameter goes as the logarithm of the energy means that the
asymptotic behavior is accurate only for energies greatly beyond any
foreseeable experiment. However, we compare the asymptotic representation
against the numerically calculated model for energies in a less extreme region
of energy. The asymptotic representation is given by a simple formula which, in
particular, exhibits the oscillations of the differential cross section with
momentum transfer. We also compare the BSW asymptotic behavior with the
Singh-Roy unitarity upper bound for the diffraction peak.

The nature of cosmological dark matter finds its explanation in physics
beyond the Standard model of elementary particles. The landscape of dark matter
candidates contains a wide variety of species, either elusive or hardly
detectable in direct experimental searches. Even in case, when such searches
are possible the interpretation of their results implies additional sources of
information, which provide indirect effects of dark matter. Some nontrivial

We show that perturbation theory provides two distinct mechanisms for the
power like growth of hadronic cross sections at high energy. One, the leading
BFKL effect is due to the growth of the parton density, and is characterized by
the leading BFKL exponent. The other mechanism is due to the infrared
diffusion, or the long range nature of the Coulomb field of perturbatively
massless gluons. When perturbative saturation effects are taken into account,
the first mechanism is rendered ineffective but the second one persists. We
suggest that these two distinct mechanisms are responsible for the appearance
of two pomerons. The density growth effects are responsible for the hard
pomeron and manifest themselves in small systems (e.g. gamma^* or small size
fluctuations in the proton wave function) where saturation effects are not
important. The soft pomeron is the manifestation of the exponential growth of
the black saturated regions which appear in typical hadronic systems. We point
out that the nonlinear generalization of the BFKL equation which takes into
account wave function saturation effects ("pomeron loops") provides a well
defined perturbative framework for the calculation of the soft pomeron
intercept. The conjecture of a perturbative soft pomeron is consistent with
picturing the proton as a loosely bound system of several small black regions
corresponding e.g. to constituent quarks of size about 0.3 fm. Phenomenological
implications of this picture are compatible with the main qualitative features
of data on p-p scattering.

A prospective measurement of the differential cross section of \tWZ
production with respect to the transverse momentum of the \PZ boson using a
general-purpose detector at the High-Luminosity Large Hadron Collider (HL-LHC)
is described. The response of a general-purpose detector at the HL-LHC is
simulated and used to estimate the uncertainties and covariances of the
differential cross section measurement. Constraints on the Standard Model
Effective Field Theory (SMEFT) enabled by the measurement are estimated. A
parametric model of the differential cross section in the SMEFT is constructed
and is used to determine the expected posterior probability function of six
SMEFT Wilson coefficients and the expected 95\% Bayesian credible intervals for
each coefficient and pair of coefficients. The intervals suggest that for all
coefficients, the measurement will provide competitive but weaker constraints
than those derived from other \mbox{HL-LHC} measurements involving top quarks
and \PZ bosons. However, as the measurement is simultaneously sensitive to to a
unique set of SMEFT coefficients, it will provide a useful input to a global
SMEFT analysis that considers many operators.

Using a rather complete description of the in-medium $\rho$ spectral function
- being constrained by various independent experimental information - we
calculate pertinent dilepton production rates from hot and dense hadronic
matter. The strong broadening of the $\rho$ resonance entails a reminiscence to
perturbative $q\bar q$ annihilation rates in the vicinity of the phase
boundary. The application to dilepton observables in Pb(158AGeV)+Au collisions
- incorporating recent information on the hadro-chemical composition at
CERN-SpS energies - essentially supports the broadening scenario. Possible
implications for the nature of chiral symmetry restoration are outlined.

Using methods from effective field theory, an exact all-order expression for
the Drell-Yan cross section at small transverse momentum is derived directly in
q_T space, in which all large logarithms are resummed. The anomalous dimensions
and matching coefficients necessary for resummation at NNLL order are given
explicitly. The precise relation between our result and the
Collins-Soper-Sterman formula is discussed, and as a by-product the previously
unknown three-loop coefficient A^(3) is obtained. The naive factorization of
the cross section at small transverse momentum is broken by a collinear
anomaly, which prevents a process-independent definition of x_T-dependent
parton distribution functions. A factorization theorem is derived for the
product of two such functions, in which the dependence on the hard momentum
transfer is separated out. The remainder factors into a product of two
functions of longitudinal momentum variables and x_T^2, whose
renormalization-group evolution is derived and solved in closed form. The
matching of these functions at small x_T onto standard parton distributions is
calculated at O(alpha_s), while their anomalous dimensions are known to three
loops.

We revisit low-scale gauge mediation models in light of recent observations
of CMB Lensing and Cosmic Shear which put a severe upper limit on the gravitino
mass, $m_{3/2} \lesssim 4.7$eV. With such a stringent constraint, many models
of low-scale gauge mediation are excluded when the squark masses are required
to be rather large to explain the observed Higgs boson mass. In this note, we
discuss a type of low-scale gauge mediation models which satisfy both the
observed Higgs boson mass and the upper limit on the gravitino mass. We also
show that the gravitino mass cannot be smaller than about 1eV even in such
models, which may be tested in future observations of 21 cm line fluctuations.

Recently the Sudbury Neutrino Observatory (SNO) has measured both the rates
as well as the day-night asymmetries in the flux of neutrinos from the Sun in
the charged-current (CC), neutral-current (NC) and elastic scattering (ES)
channels. Motivated by the small but negative day-night asymmetry in the NC
channel at SNO (1.2 standard deviations away from zero), we consider whether
such a non-zero asymmetry can be generated in a framework where active
neutrinos can both oscillate and decay, since the NC day-night asymmetry is
zero in a frame-work that includes pure oscillations of active flavours. We
find that the neutral current day-night asymmetry is strictly zero when we
include both oscillations and decay. The result holds for arbitrary number of
active neutrino species, with some reasonable assumptions on the decay
parameters. Hence, a non-zero asymmetry in the neutral current sector, if it
survives, can only come from oscillations/decay into sterile flavours. We also
examine the allowed region of parameter space coming from a combined analysis
of the total event rates in the charged-current, neutral current and elastic
scattering sectors in a two-flavour framework, and find that the neutral
current rates are most sensitive to (and hence restrict considerably) the
allowed values of the decay parameter involving the life-time of the heavier
mass eigenstate to $\tau_{2_0} > 10^{-4}$ s for eV mass neutrinos.

QFT derivation of the decay law of an unstable particle with nonzero

We present a quantum field theoretical derivation of the nondecay probability
of an unstable particle with nonzero three-momentum $\mathbf{p}$. To this end,
we use the (fully resummed) propagator of the unstable particle, denoted as
$S,$ to obtain the energy probability distribution, called $d_{S}^{\mathbf{p}
}(E)$, as the imaginary part of the propagator. The nondecay probability
amplitude of the particle $S$ with momentum $\mathbf{p}$ turns out to be, as
usual, its Fourier transform: $a_{S}^{\mathbf{p}}(t)=\int_{\sqrt{m_{th}
^{2}+\mathbf{p}^{2}}}^{\infty}dEd_{S}^{\mathbf{p}}(E)e^{-iEt}$ ($m_{th}$ is the
lowest energy threshold in the energy frame, corresponding to the sum of masses
of the decay products). Upon a variable transformation, one can rewrite it as
$a_{S}^{\mathbf{p}}(t)=\int_{m_{th}}^{\infty}dmd_{S}
^{\mathbf{0}}(m)e^{-i\sqrt{m_{th}^{2}+\mathbf{p}^{2}}t}$ [here, $d_{S}
^{\mathbf{0}}(m)\equiv d_{S}(m)$ is the usual spectral function (or mass
distribution) in the rest frame]. Hence, the latter expression, previously
obtained by different approaches, is here confirmed in an independent and, most
importantly, covariant QFT-based approach. Its consequences are not yet fully
explored but appear to be quite surprising (such as the fact that usual
time-dilatation formula does not apply), thus its firm understanding and
investigation can be a fruitful subject of future research.

We derive the $k_T$ resummation for doubly heavy-flavored $B_c$ meson decays
by including the charm quark mass effect into the known formula for a
heavy-light system. The resultant Sudakov factor is employed in the
perutrbative QCD study of the "golden channel" $B_c^+ \to J/\psi \pi^+$. With a
reasonable model for the $B_c$ meson distribution amplitude, which maintains
approximate on-shell conditions of both the partonic bottom and charm quarks,
it is observed that the imaginary piece of the $B_c \to J/\psi$ transition form
factor appears to be power suppressed, and the $B_c^+ \to J/\psi \pi^+$
branching ratio is not lower than $10^{-3}$. The above improved perutrbative
QCD formalism is applicable to $B_c$ meson decays to other charmonia and
charmed mesons.

We derive the $k_T$ resummation for doubly heavy-flavored $B_c$ meson decays by including the charm quark mass effect into the known formula for a heavy-light system. The resultant Sudakov factor is employed in the perutrbative QCD study of the "golden channel" $B_c^+ \to J/\psi \pi^+$. With a reasonable model for the $B_c$ meson distribution amplitude, which maintains approximate on-shell conditions of both the partonic bottom and charm quarks, it is observed that the imaginary piece of the $B_c \to J/\psi$ transition form factor appears to be power suppressed, and the $B_c^+ \to J/\psi \pi^+$ branching ratio is not lower than $10^{-3}$. The above improved perutrbative QCD formalism is applicable to $B_c$ meson decays to other charmonia and charmed mesons.

We study Lambda_b --> Lambda pi pi. The branching fraction is predicted to be
about 4.38 x 10^{-6}%. Within the standard model, we compute T-odd triple
product asymmetries to be about 1.4, 4.3, 6.5 and 7.2% respectively due to
s_{Lambda_b}(s_Lambda) . (p_Lambda x p_pi) and p_Lambda (p_pi) . (s_Lambda x

We apply a gauge invariant formulation of Wilson Renormalization Group (RG)
to the computation of the Debye and transverse gluon masses in pure gauge SU(N)
at high temperature. Following the Hard Thermal Loop effective field theory as
a guideline, we develop an approximation scheme to the exact evolution
equations. The Debye mass receives sizable corrections compared to the leading
order perturbative result, mainly due to the infrared singular behavior in the
transverse gluon sector. A non-vanishing mass for the transverse gluons is
found, which acts as an infrared regulator though not efficiently enough as to
restore the validity of perturbation theory. Indeed, discussing the role of
higher dimensional operators, we show that the gauge coupling for the
transverse modes typically flows to non-perturbative values unless extremely
high temperatures are reached. After comparing our results with recent lattice
simulations, we comment on the possibility of using this formulation of the RG
as a tool to construct an effective field theory for the non-perturbative, long
wavelength, transverse modes.

Particles with masses much larger than the inflationary Hubble scale, $H_I$,
can be pair-produced non-adiabatically during inflation. Due to their large
masses, the produced particles modify the curvature perturbation around their
locations. These localized perturbations eventually give rise to localized
signatures on the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB), in particular, pairwise
hotspots (PHS). In this work, we show that Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN)
provide a powerful tool for identifying PHS on the CMB. While for a given
hotspot profile a traditional Matched Filter Analysis is known to be optimal, a
Neural Network learns to effectively detect the large variety of shapes that
can arise in realistic models of particle production. Considering an idealized
situation where the dominant background to the PHS signal comes from the
standard CMB fluctuations, we show that a CNN can isolate the PHS with
$\mathcal{O}(10)\%$ efficiency even if the hotspot temperature is
$\mathcal{O}(10)$ times smaller than the average CMB fluctuations. Overall, the
CNN search is sensitive to heavy particle masses $M_0/H_I=\mathcal{O}(200)$,
and constitutes one of the unique probes of very high energy particle physics.

Hadron form factors are calculated using the Lorentz contracted wave
functions, determined in the arbitrary dynamical scheme with the instantaneous
interaction. It is shown that the large $Q$ asymptotics of the form factors is
defined by the contraction coefficient $C_m(Q^2) = \frac{m}{\sqrt(m^2+
Q^2/4)}$, where $m$ is the meson mass, and weakly depends on the interaction
used. The resulting form factors $F_\pi$ and $F_K$ are obtained in good
agreement with the lattice and experimental data. Important consequences for
the dynamics of hadron decays and scattering are shortly discussed.

It is argued that singlet extensions of the MSSM at the weak scale are
indicative of either gauged-$R$ symmetry or target space duality in a string
effective action at the Planck scale. The criteria used are satisfactory
primordial nucleosynthesis, absence of fine-tuning, and absence of cosmological
problems such as domain walls. Models which have a global discrete symmetry
such as the NMSSM may only be accommodated within rather complicated
cosmological scenarios which are also discussed.

The color-evaporation model quantitatively describes all data on
photoproduction and hadroproduction of charmonium. Although the model is in
part nonperturbative, the associated parameters can for instance be determined
from the charmonium photoproduction data. At this point its predictions for the
prompt production of $\psi$'s at the $Z$ pole are made with no free parameters.
We show here that this approach successfully describes all data on the
production of prompt $\psi$'s in $Z$ decays.

We study possible new physics interactions in the $ZZH$ vertex contributing
to the Higgsstrahlung process $e^+ e^- \to ZH$ at proposed future $e^+e^-$
colliders using the polarization of the $Z$ as a probe. We calculate the spin
density matrix of the $Z$ for the process and determine the eight independent
polarization parameters of the $Z$ boson which have the potential to constrain
the anomalous couplings. We study angular asymmetries using the decay leptons
from the $Z$ boson which are simply related to the polarization observables. We
also estimate the limits that can be placed on the anomalous couplings using
measurements of these angular asymmetries at centre of mass energies of 250 GeV
and 500 GeV and various combinations of polarized $e^+$ and $e^-$ beams.

We investigate the role of a certain class of QCD corrections to electroweak
vector boson scattering at small scattering angles and large energies. These
are present since, from the perturbative analysis, the vector bosons may
dissociate into quark-antiquark pairs giving rise to colour dipoles interacting
through gluon exchanges. After the computation of the vector boson impact
factors, we present expressions for the lowest order QCD scattering amplitude
and for the leading logarithmic BFKL amplitude. Particularly we discuss
numerical results for the process $\gamma\gamma\to ZZ$. The QCD corrections to
the cross section resulting from the interference with the electroweak ones are
estimated and compared with the leading pure electroweak part. Corrections
resulting from the leading log BFKL amplitude are of the order of few percent
already at the $0.5 - 1$ TeV energy range.

We demonstrate that flavor symmetries in warped geometry can provide a
natural explanation for large mixing angles and economically explain the
distinction between the quark and lepton flavor sectors. We show how to
naturally generate Majorana neutrino masses assuming a gauged a U(1)_{B-L}
symmetry broken in the UV that generates see-saw masses of the right size. This
model requires lepton minimal flavor violation (LMFV) in which only Yukawa
matrices (present on the IR brane) break the flavor symmetries. The
symmetry-breaking is transmitted to charged lepton bulk mass parameters as well
to generate the hierarchy of charged lepton masses. With LMFV, a GIM-like
mechanism prevents dangerous flavor-changing processes for charged leptons and
permits flavor-changing processes only in the presence of the neutrino Yukawa
interaction and are therefore suppressed when the overall scale for the
neutrino Yukawa matrix is slightly smaller than one in units of the curvature.
In this case the theory can be consistent with a cutoff of 10 TeV and 3 TeV
Kaluza-Klein masses.

In 1998, J. M. Maldacena conjectured a precise duality in the low-energy (or
decoupling) regime between a large N strongly-coupled SU(N) super-Yang-Mills
theory defined in the four-dimensional Minkowski world-volume M^4 of a stack of
N coincident D3-branes and the supergravity limit of a weakly-coupled type IIB
closed superstring theory on AdS_5*S^5. This communication aims at introducing
concepts and methods used to derive, in the gauge/string correspondence
framework, the interaction potentials of mesons and baryons at zero and finite
temperature. Especially, emphasize will be made on the linear behavior of the
bound-state potentials derived in the gravity side. Although AdS/CFT cannot be
applied ab initio to QCD-like gauge theories and remains a controversial topic,
at least at zero temperature, we will also discuss AdS/QCD criteria proposed
for a holographic description of the mechanism of confinement.

In 1998, J. M. Maldacena conjectured a precise duality in the low-energy (or decoupling) regime between a large N strongly-coupled SU(N) super-Yang-Mills theory defined in the four-dimensional Minkowski world-volume M^4 of a stack of N coincident D3-branes and the supergravity limit of a weakly-coupled type IIB closed superstring theory on AdS_5*S^5. This communication aims at introducing concepts and methods used to derive, in the gauge/string correspondence framework, the interaction potentials of mesons and baryons at zero and finite temperature. Especially, emphasize will be made on the linear behavior of the bound-state potentials derived in the gravity side. Although AdS/CFT cannot be applied ab initio to QCD-like gauge theories and remains a controversial topic, at least at zero temperature, we will also discuss AdS/QCD criteria proposed for a holographic description of the mechanism of confinement.

We discuss a simple renormalisable, gauge invariant model with a fermiophobic
$Z'$ boson: it has no couplings to the three Standard Model (SM) chiral
families, but does couple to a fourth vector-like (VL) family. The SM Higgs
couples to the fourth VL lepton, leading to an enhanced contribution to the
muon anomalous magnetic moment $\left(g-2\right)_{\mu}$. The latter
contribution requires a non-vanishing coupling of $Z'$ to right-handed muons,
which arises within this model due to mixing effects between the SM and VL
fermions, along with $Z'$ couplings to the second generation SM lepton doublet
and third generation SM quark doublet. This model can simultaneously account
for the measured $B$-decay ratios $R_{K^{(*)}}$ and $\left(g-2\right)_{\mu}$.
We identify the parameter space where this explanation is consistent with
existing experimental constraints coming from $B_{s}-\bar{B}_{s}$ mixing,
neutrino trident production and collider searches. We also check that the SM
Higgs coupling to the fourth VL lepton does not produce a dangerous
contribution to the Higgs diphoton decay.

The nature of electroweak (EW) phase transition (PT) is of great importance.
It may give a clue to the origin of baryon asymmetry if EWPT is strong first
order. Although it is second order within the standard model (SM), a great many
extensions of the SM are capable of altering the nature. Thus, gravitational
wave (GW), which is supposed to be relics of strong first order PT, is a good
complementary probe to new physics beyond SM (BSM). We in this paper elaborate
the patterns of strong first order EWPT in the next to simplest extension to
the SM Higgs sector, by introducing a $Z_3$-symmetric singlet scalar. We find
that, in the $Z_3$-symmetric limit, the tree level barrier could lead to strong
first order EWPT either via three or two-step PT. Moreover, they could produce
two sources of GW, despite of the undetectability from the first-step strong
first order PT for the near future GW experiments. But the other source with
significant supercooling which then gives rise to $\alpha\sim{\cal O}(0.1)$
almost can be wholly covered by future space-based GW interferometers such as
eLISA, DECIGO and BBO.

Current CERN Large Hadron Collider data on the 126 GeV standard model-like
Higgs boson suggest the possibility of larger Higgs boson couplings with the
weak gauge bosons, $g_{hVV}$, than those in the standard model. We use the
Georgi-Machacek model as an explicit model to realize such a scenario. We find
that the $g_{hVV}$ couplings can be larger than the standard model value by a
factor of about 1.3 maximally in the parameter region consistent with the
current Higgs boson search data and allowed by various other constraints. We
then show how the modified $g_{hVV}$ couplings lead to enhancements in various
weak boson scattering processes. This can be clearly observed as excesses in
the transverse mass distributions at around 126 GeV and also the mass of heavy
Higgs bosons.

There is a wide class of models which give a dynamical description of the
origin of flavour in terms of spontaneous symmetry breaking of an underlying
symmetry. Many of these models exhibit sum rules which relate on the one hand
mixing angles and the Dirac CP phase with each other and/or on the other hand
neutrino masses and Majorana phases with each other. We will briefly sketch how
this happens and discuss briefly the impact of renormalisation group
corrections to the mass sum rules.

It is possible that there may be differences in the fundamental physical
parameters from one side of the observed universe to the other. I show that the
cosmological constant is likely to be the most sensitive of the physical
parameters to possible spatial variation, because a small variation in any of
the other parameters produces a huge variation of the cosmological constant. It
therefore provides a very powerful {\em indirect} evidence against spatial
gradients or temporal variation in the other fundamental physical parameters,
at least 40 orders of magnitude more powerful than direct experimental
constraints. Moreover, a gradient may potentially appear in theories where the
variability of the cosmological constant is connected to an anthropic selection
mechanism, invoked to explain the smallness of this parameter. In the Hubble
damping mechanism for anthropic selection, I calculate the possible gradient.
While this mechanism demonstrates the existence of this effect, it is too small
to be seen experimentally, except possibly if inflation happens around the
Planck scale.

We present a correlated analysis for the $\Delta B =1, 2$ processes which
occur via $b\to s$ transitions within models with a family non-universal
$U(1)^\prime$. We take a model-independent approach, and only require family
universal charges for the first and second generations and small fermion mixing
angles. The results of our analysis show that within this class of models, the
anomalies in $B_s - \bar B_s$ mixing and the time-dependent CP asymmetries of
the penguin-dominated $B_d \to (\pi, \phi, \eta', \rho, \omega, f_0)K_S$ decays
can be accommodated.

The color dipole analysis of nuclear effects in charge current DIS is
presented. The emphasis is put on the pronounced effect of left-right asymmetry
of shadowing in neutrino-nucleus DIS at small values of Bjorken $x$. Strikingly
different scaling behavior of nuclear shadowing for the left-handed
andright-handed $W^+$ is predicted. Large, about 25%, shadowing in the $Fe$
structure functions is predicted, which is important for a precise
determination of the P-odd nucleon structure functions $xF^{\nu(\bar\nu)}_3$
and $\Delta x F_3=xF_3^{\nu}-xF_3^{\bar \nu}$.

We point out an inconsistency in perturbative QCD predictions previously used
for dijet azimuthal decorrelations for azimuthal angles of $\Delta\phi_{\rm

how the calculations can be modified to provide more accurate results that
exhibit a smaller scale dependence and give a better description of the data
than the inconsistent results. We also explain how the quality of the
predictions strongly depends on a perceivedly minor detail in the definition of
the dijet phase space and give recommendations for future measurements.

Models of gauged $U(1)_{L_\mu-L_\tau}$ can provide a solution to the
long-standing discrepancy between the theoretical prediction for the muon
anomalous magnetic moment and its measured value. The extra contribution is due
to a new light vector mediator, which also helps to alleviate an existing
tension in the determination of the Hubble parameter. In this article, we
explore ways to probe this solution via the scattering of solar neutrinos with
electrons and nuclei in a range of experiments and considering high and low
solar metallicity scenarios. In particular, we reevaluate Borexino constraints
on neutrino-electron scattering, finding them to be more stringent than
previously reported, and already excluding a part of the $(g-2)_\mu$
explanation with mediator masses smaller than $2\times10^{-2}$ GeV. We then
show that future direct dark matter detectors will be able to probe most of the
remaining solution. Due to its large exposure, LUX-ZEPLIN will explore regions
with mediator masses up to $5\times10^{-2}$ GeV and DARWIN will be able to
extend the search beyond $10^{-1}$ GeV, thereby covering most of the area
compatible with $(g-2)_\mu$. For completeness, we have also computed the
constraints derived from the recent XENON1T electron recoil search and from the
CENNS-10 LAr detector, showing that none of them excludes new areas of the
parameter space. Should the excess in the muon anomalous magnetic moment be
confirmed, our work suggests that direct detection experiments could provide
crucial information with which to test the $U(1)_{L_\mu-L_\tau}$ solution,
complementary to efforts in neutrino experiments and accelerators.

In this article, we explore ways to probe this solution via the scattering of solar neutrinos with electrons and nuclei in a range of experiments and considering high and low solar metallicity scenarios. In particular, we reevaluate Borexino constraints on neutrino-electron scattering, finding them to be more stringent than previously reported, and already excluding a part of the $(g-2)_\mu$ explanation with mediator masses smaller than $2\times10^{-2}$ GeV. We then show that future direct dark matter detectors will be able to probe most of the remaining solution. Due to its large exposure, LUX-ZEPLIN will explore regions with mediator masses up to $5\times10^{-2}$ GeV and DARWIN will be able to extend the search beyond $10^{-1}$ GeV, thereby covering most of the area compatible with $(g-2)_\mu$. For completeness, we have also computed the constraints derived from the recent XENON1T electron recoil search and from the CENNS-10 LAr detector, showing that none of them excludes new areas of the parameter space. Should the excess in the muon anomalous magnetic moment be confirmed, our work suggests that direct detection experiments could provide crucial information with which to test the $U(1)_{L_\mu-L_\tau}$ solution, complementary to efforts in neutrino experiments and accelerators.

The P-wave charm-strange mesons $D_{s0}(2317)$ and $D_{s1}(2460)$ lie below
the $DK$ and $D^\ast K$ threshold respectively. They are extremely narrow
because their strong decays violate the isospin symmetry. We study the possible
heavy molecular states composed of a pair of excited charm strange mesons. As a
byproduct, we also present the numerical results for the bottonium-like
analogue.

Applying arguments based on the operator product expansion for a three-point
correlator and relying on quark-hadron duality, we derive an expression for the
skewed (non-forward) parton distribution in the pion in the case of a
zero-skewedness parameter, {\cal F}^{\psi|\pi}_{\zeta=0}(X;t). We expect that
our result is relevant for moderately large momentum transfers 1 < t < 10
GeV^2. In addition, we construct a purely phenomenological factorized model for
the same quantity in close analogy to Radyushkin's model, originally proposed
for skewed distributions of quarks in the nucleon. Though the quark-hadron
duality approach supports theoretically the factorized model, the two models
exhibit a different behavior in the parton momentum fraction X at any fixed t.
The relevant process to distinguish between the two options seems to be the
WACS off the pion that measures (to leading t/s-order) the inverse moment
<X^{-1}> of the skewed distribution. Even after the inclusion of the first
order kinematic t/s-corrections, the predictions for the cross section \frac{d
\sigma}{d t}(s,t) at c.m.s. scattering angles \vartheta=30^{\circ} and
90^{\circ} differ by factors 3.5--3.9 and 2.9--7.5, respectively, so that a
discrimination appears possible.

We investigate the electrical conductivity(EC) of dense quark matter in the
vicinity of the phase transition line. We show that: (i) At high density the
Drude EC does not depend on the magnetic field up to $eB \sim 10^{19} \ G$.
(ii) In the precritical region the fluctuation EC (paraconductivity) dominates
over the Drude one.

This lecture contains a pedagogical approach to the description of Z' physics
in the formalism of form factors. Usually, only electroweak corrections are
described by form factors, which modify the Weinberg angle and the overall
normalization. It is demonstrated how this formalism can be extended to include
different Born contributions. In the second part of the lecture, QCD and QED
corrections are considered. The development and consequences of the radiative
tail for a Z' search are discussed in detail.

We consider effective theory treatment for the lowest-lying $S$- and $P$-wave
states of charmed mesons. In our analysis, quantum corrections and
contributions from leading chiral and heavy quark symmetry breakings are taken
into account. The heavy meson mass expressions have abundance parameters,
low-energy constants, in comparison to the measured charmed mesons masses. The
experimental and lattice QCD data on charmed meson spectroscopy are used to
extract, for the first time, the numerical values of the full set of low-energy
constants of the effective chiral Lagrangian. Our results on these parameters
can be used for applications on other properties of heavy-light meson systems.
