transition during the early universe within the framework of the gauged

stochastic gravitational wave signals. The G2HDM introduces a dark replica of
the Standard Model electroweak gauge group, inducing an accidental $Z_2$
symmetry which not only leads to a simple scalar potential at tree-level but
also offers a compelling vectorial dark matter candidate. Using the high
temperature expansion in the effective potential that manifests gauge
invariance, we find a possible two-step phase transition pattern in the model
with a strong first-order transition occurring in the second step at the
electroweak scale temperature. Collider data from the LHC plays a crucial role
in constraining the parameter space conducive to this two-step transition.
Furthermore, satisfying the nucleation condition necessitates the masses of
scalar bosons in the hidden sector to align with the electroweak scale,
potentially probed by future collider detectors. The stochastic gravitational
wave energy spectrum associated with the phase transition is computed. The
results indicate that forthcoming detectors such as BBO, LISA, DECIGO, TianQin

from a next galactic core-collapse supernova (CCSN) could, in principle, reveal
if neutrino mass ordering is normal or inverted. One of the possible ways to
identify the mass ordering is through the observation of the modulations that
appear in the spectrum when neutrinos travel through the Earth before they
arrive at the detector. These features in the neutrino spectrum depend on two
factors, the average neutrino energies, and the difference between the primary
neutrino fluxes of electron and other flavors produced inside the supernova.
However, recent studies indicate that the Earth matter effect for CCSN
neutrinos is expected to be rather small and difficult to be observed by
currently operating or planned neutrino detectors mainly because of the
similarity of average energies and fluxes between electron and other flavors of
neutrinos, unless the distance to CCSN is significantly smaller than the
typically expected one, $\sim 10$ kpc. Here, we are looking towards the
possibility if the non-standard neutrino properties such as decay of neutrinos
can enhance the Earth matter effect. In this work we show that invisible
neutrino decay can potentially enhance significantly the Earth matter effect
for both $\nu_e$ and $\bar{\nu}_e$ channels at the same time for both mass
orderings, even if the neutrino spectra between electron and other flavors of
neutrinos are very similar, which is a different feature not expected for CCSN

guaranteed by the H parity under which only the Higgs boson is odd at low
energy. The 4-point vertices of HHW^+W^- and HHZZ, allowed by H parity
conservation, have the same magnitude as in the standard model, which yields
efficient annihilation rate for $m_H > m_W$. The most dominant annihilation
channel is $H H \to W^+ W^-$ followed by the subsequent decays of the $W$
bosons into positrons or quarks, which undergo fragmentation into antiproton.
Comparing with the observed positron and antiproton spectra with the PAMALA and

with little or no excess of missing transverse energy. This complicates the

Snowmass white paper we reanalyze the spin correlation approach to the search
of stealth stops, focusing on the feasibility of this search at the 14 TeV LHC.
We find, while the statistical limitations significantly shrink compared to the
low-luminosity 8 TeV run, the systematic PDF uncertainties pose the main
obstacle. We show that the current understanding of PDFs probably does not
allow us to talk about top and stop discrimination via spin correlation in the

shrink if only events with low center of mass energy are considered, rendering

] | The Inert Doublet Model is one of the simplest and most versatile scenarios for physics beyond the Standard Model. In this work, we examine the prospects for detecting the additional fields of this model at the LHC in the dilepton channel. We investigate a wide variety of theoretically- and phenomenologically-motivated benchmark scenarios, and show that within regions of model parameter space in which the dark-matter candidate is relatively light (between 40 and 80 GeV) and the mass splitting between the neutral scalars is also roughly 40 - 80 GeV, a signal at the 3 sigma to 12 sigma significance level can be observed with 100 fb^-1 of integrated luminosity. In addition, even if the mass splitting between the neutral scalars is larger than M_Z, a signal of more than 3 sigma can be observed as long as the mass of the dark matter candidate is around 40 GeV. |

New analyses performed at the LHC experiments are now providing unprecedented
insights into CKM metrology and new evidences for rare decays. The CKM picture
can provide very precise SM predictions through global analyses. We present
here the results of the latest global SM analysis performed by the UTfit
collaboration including all the most updated inputs from experiments, lattice

analysis can be used to constrain the parameter space in possible new physics
(NP) scenarios. We update here also the UT analysis beyond the SM by the UTfit
collaboration. All of the available experimental and theoretical information on
$\Delta F=2$ processes is reinterpreted including a model-independent NP
parametrisation. We determine the allowed NP contributions in the kaon, $D$,
$B_d$, and $B_s$ sectors and, in various NP scenarios, we translate them into
bounds for the NP scale as a function of NP couplings.

by this progress and based on the self-consistent solutions of gap equations,
the properties of two-flavor and three-flavor quark matter are studied in the
framework of the Nambu-Jona-Lasinio model with a magnetic-field dependent

Furthermore, the stability of magnetized quark matter with the running coupling
is enhanced by lowering the free energy per baryon, which is expected to be
more stable than that of the conventional constant coupling case. It is
concluded that the magnetized strange quark matter described by running

the effective potential for the Higgs field, which is the most important

Using classical-statistical methods, we showed that these systems share the
same self-similar scaling properties for a wide range of momenta in a limit
where particles are weakly coupled but their occupancy is high. Here we
significantly expand on our previous work and delineate two further
self-similar regimes. One of these occurs in the deep infrared (IR) regime of
very high occupancies, where the nonequilibrium dynamics leads to the formation
of a Bose-Einstein Condensate. The universal IR scaling exponents and the
spectral index characterizing the isotropic IR distributions are described by
an effective theory derived from a systematic large-$N$ expansion at
next-to-leading order. Remarkably, this effective theory can be cast as a
vertex-resummed kinetic theory. The other novel self-similar regime occurs
close to the hard physical scale of the theory, and sets in only at later
times. We argue that the important role of the infrared dynamics ensures that
key features of our results for scalar and gauge theories cannot be reproduced

the gain in fine tuning which they enable compared to extensions of the
Standard Model with colored top partners. Estimates show that, at least in the
simplest realizations of the TH idea, the separation between the mass of new
colored particles and the electroweak scale is controlled by the coupling
strength of the underlying UV theory, and that a parametric gain is achieved
only for strongly-coupled dynamics. Motivated by this consideration we focus on
one of these simple realizations, namely composite TH theories, and study how
well such constructions can reproduce electroweak precision data. The most
important effect of the Twin states is found to be the infrared contribution to
the Higgs quartic coupling, while direct corrections to electroweak observables
are sub-leading and negligible. We perform a careful fit to the electroweak
data including the leading-logarithmic corrections to the Higgs quartic up to
three loops. Our analysis shows that agreement with electroweak precision tests
can be achieved with only a moderate amount of tuning, in the range 5-10\%, in
theories where colored states have mass of order 3-5 TeV and are thus out of
reach of the LHC. For these levels of tuning, larger masses are excluded by a
perturbativity bound, which makes these theories possibly discoverable, hence
falsifiable, only at a future 100 TeV collider.

accepted at 90% C.L.. The Vacuum oscillation solution with \Delta m^2 = 1.4
10^{-10} eV^2, gives good fit of the data provided that the boron neutrino flux
is substantially smaller than the SSM flux (f_B \sim 0.5). The SMA solution is
accepted only at 3\sigma level. We find that vacuum oscillations to sterile
neutrino, VAC(sterile), with f_B \sim 0.5 also give rather good global fit of
the data. All other sterile solutions are strongly disfavored. We check the
quality of the fit by constructing the pull-off diagrams of observables.
Predictions for the day-night asymmetry, spectrum distortion and NC/CC ratio at
SNO are calculated. In the best fit points of the global solutions we find:
A_{DN}^{CC} \approx (7 - 8)% for LMA, \sim 3% for LOW, and (2 - 3)% for SMA. It
will be difficult to see the distortion of the spectrum expected for LMA as
well as LOW solutions. However, future SNO spectral data can significantly
affect the VAC and SMA solutions. We also calculate expectations for the

Therefore, it is a natural framework for low scale seesaw mechanism and also
for implementing the soft leptogenesis. We show that the phases of trilinear
soft SUSY breaking couplings $A$, which are relevant for the lepton asymmetry,
are not constrained by the present experimental bounds on electric dipole
moment. As in the MSSM extended with right-handed neutrinos, successful
leptogenesis requires small bilinear coupling $B$, which is now given by $A_N$

tau-lepton) play an important role in the analysis of theories beyond the SM.
They serve as low-energy input and reduce the parameter space of such theories.
In this paper Minimal supersymmetric extension of the SM is considered and
two-loop relations between known SM values of fermion masses and running
parameters of the MSSM are studied within the effective theory approach. Both
b-quark and tau-lepton have the same quantum numbers with respect to SU(2)
groupand in the MSSM acquire their masses due to interactions with the same

] | Masses of heavy Standard Model fermions (top-quark, bottom-quark, and tau-lepton) play an important role in the analysis of theories beyond the SM. They serve as low-energy input and reduce the parameter space of such theories. In this paper Minimal supersymmetric extension of the SM is considered and two-loop relations between known SM values of fermion masses and running parameters of the MSSM are studied within the effective theory approach. Both b-quark and tau-lepton have the same quantum numbers with respect to SU(2) groupand in the MSSM acquire their masses due to interactions with the same Higgs doublet. As a consequence, for large values of tan beta parameter corresponding Yukawa couplings also become large and together with tan beta can significantly enhance radiative corrections. In the case of b-quark two-loop O(alpha_s^2) contribution to the relation between running bottom-quark mass in QCD and MSSM is known in literature. This paper is devoted to calculation of the NNLO corrections proportional to Yukawa couplings. For the tau-lepton obtained contribution can be considered as a good approximation to the full two-loop result.

estimated via the decay channels $X \to D_{s}^{+}D_{s}^{-}$ and $X \to \eta_{c}

of couplings $G$, $g_1$ and $g_2$ which describe the strong interactions of
particles at the vertices $XD_{s}^{+}D_{s}^{-}$, $ X\eta_{c}\eta^{\prime}$ and
$X\eta_{c}\eta$, respectively. Numerical values of $G$, $g_1$ and $g_2$ are
evaluated by employing the three-point sum rule method. Comparing the results

a colorless final state in perturbative QCD, expressed as a function of
transverse momentum pt and the scaling variable x. Its expression satisfies
three requirements: it reduces to standard transverse momentum resummation to
any desired logarithmic order in the limit pt-> 0 for fixed x, up to power
suppressed corrections in pt; it reduces to threshold resummation to any
desired logarithmic order in the limit x-> 1 for fixed pt, up to power
suppressed correction in 1-x; upon integration over transverse momentum it
reproduces the resummation of the total cross cross at any given logarithmic
order in the threshold x->1 limit. Its main ingredient, and our main new
result, is a modified form of transverse momentum resummation, which leads to
threshold resummation upon integration over pt, and for which we provide a
simple closed-form analytic expression in Fourier-Mellin (b,N) space. We give
explicit coefficients up to NNLL order for the specific case of Higgs
production in gluon fusion in the effective field theory limit. Our result
allows for a systematic improvement of the transverse momentum distribution
through threshold resummation which holds for all pt, and elucidates the
relation between transverse momentum resummation and threshold resummation at
the inclusive level, specifically by providing within perturbative QCD a simple
derivation of the main consequence of the so-called collinear anomaly of SCET.

Our calculation is based on a universal resummation formalism at

perturbative prediction at O(alpha_s). Numerical results are given for the
``gold-plated'' associated production of neutralinos and charginos for a
typical benchmark point in the constrained Minimal Supersymmetric Standard

the Monte Carlo predictions employed traditionally in experimental analyses. We

also generically lead to U(1)_Y - U(1)_d kinetic mixing. The induced coupling
of a light U(1)_d gauge boson Z_d to electric charge can naturally explain the
measured g_mu-2. We update Z_d mass and coupling constraints based on
comparison of the electron g-2 experiment and theory, and find that explaining
g_mu-2 while satisfying other constraints requires Z_d to have a mass ~ 20-100
MeV. We predict new Higgs decay channels gamma Z_d and Z_d Z_d, with rates
below the diphoton mode but potentially observable. The boosted Z_d -> e+e- in
these decays would mimic a promptly converted photon and could provide a
fraction of the apparent diphoton excess. More statistics or a closer

applications of the Pinch Technique (PT). This method allows the construction
of off-shell Green's functions in non-Abelian gauge theories that are
independent of the gauge-fixing parameter and satisfy ghost-free Ward
identities. We first present the diagrammatic formulation of the technique in
QCD, deriving at one loop the gauge independent gluon self-energy, quark-gluon
vertex, and three-gluon vertex, together with their Abelian Ward identities.
The generalization to theories with spontaneous symmetry breaking is carried
out in detail, and the connection with the optical theorem and the dispersion
relations are explained within the electroweak sector of the Standard Model.
The equivalence between the PT and the Feynman gauge of the Background Field
Method (BFM) is elaborated, and the crucial differences between the two methods
are critically scrutinized. The Batalin-Vilkovisky quantization method and the
general formalism of algebraic renormalization are introduced, and the
all-order generalization of the PT is thoroughly examined. The extension of the
PT to the non-perturbative domain of the QCD Schwinger-Dyson equations is
presented systematically, and the main advantages of the resulting
self-consistent truncation scheme are discussed. A plethora of physical
applications relying on the PT are reviewed, such as the definition of
gauge-independent off-shell form-factors, the construction of non-Abelian
effective charges, the gauge-invariant treatment of resonant transition
amplitudes and unstable particles, and the dynamical generation of an effective

$\sqrt{s}\to \infty $. Our conclusion is that the decay amplitudes approach a
real value asymptotically.

] | We study the role played by the final-state interactions (fsi) in heavy quark decays using Pomeron and Regge exchanges to describe high energy scattering. At center of mass energy $\sqrt{s}\sim 5GeV $, Pomeron dominance does not apply. We study the behavior of the decay amplitudes as $\sqrt{s} $ is varied close to the B mass. We also investigate the behavior of the decay amplitude as $\sqrt{s}\to \infty $. Our conclusion is that the decay amplitudes approach a real value asymptotically. |

is inconsistent. We derive the formalism explicitly, expose differences between
papers in the literature and clarify the implications. We show that the X(3872)
can be a bound state but that results are very sensitive to a poorly
constrained parameter. We confirm that bound states in the B Bbar sector are
possible. The circumstances whereby exotic combinations can bind with cc or bb
quantum numbers are explored.
