particular emphasis on the one loop hard matching coefficients required to
perform the resummation. Furthermore we will discuss the numerical effect of
the different ingredients in the corrections. We find a significant reduction
in the scale uncertainty and a considerable increase in the prediction of the
total cross section at the central scale. Compared to the next-to-leading order

the Feynman rules for the Standard Model Effective Field Theory (SMEFT)
including the complete set of gauge invariant operators up to dimension-6 and
the complete set of bosonic operators of dimension-8. Feynman rules are
generated with the use of FeynRules package, directly in the physical (mass
eigenstates) basis for all fields. The complete set of interaction vertices can
be derived, including all or any chosen subset of SMEFT operators. As an
option, the user can also choose preferred gauge fixing, generating Feynman
rules in unitary or $R_\xi$-gauges. The novel feature in version-3 of SmeftFR
is its ability to calculate SMEFT interactions consistently up to dimension-8
in EFT expansion (including quadratic dimension-6 terms) and express the
vertices directly in terms of user-defined set of input-parameters. The derived
Lagrangian in the mass basis can be exported in various formats supported by
FeynRules, such as UFO, FeynArts etc. Initialisation of numerical values of
Wilson coefficients of higher dimension operators is interfaced to WCxf format.
The package also includes a dedicated Latex generator allowing to print the
result in clear human-readable form. The SmeftFR v3 is publicly available at

spatially localized clumps of axionic fields (oscillons and axion stars) in the

behaviour of the photon luminosity in terms of an effective dimensionless
coupling parameter constructed out of the axion-photon coupling, and field
amplitude, oscillation frequency and radius of the axion star. For small values
of this dimensionless coupling, we provide a general analytic formula for the
dipole radiation field and the photon luminosity per solid angle, including a
strong dependence on the radius of the configuration. For moderate to large
coupling, we report on a non-monotonic behavior of the luminosity with the
coupling strength in the presence of external magnetic fields. After an initial
rise in luminosity with the coupling strength, we see a suppression (by an
order of magnitude or more compared to the dipole radiation approximation) at
moderately large coupling. At sufficiently large coupling, we find a transition
to a regime of exponential growth of the luminosity due to parametric
resonance. We carry out 3+1 dimensional lattice simulations of axion
electrodynamics, at small and large coupling, including non-perturbative
effects of parametric resonance as well as backreaction effects when necessary.
We also discuss medium (plasma) effects that lead to resonant axion to photon
conversion, relevance of the coherence of the soliton, and implications of our
results in astrophysical and cosmological settings.

(LHC), the Large Hadron electron Collider (LHeC) provides opportunities to
probe quark Yukawa couplings with a high precision because of relatively low
rate from QCD background as compared with that of the Higgs processes at the

Higgs production rate at the LHeC. The leading production channel of the Higgs
boson at the LHeC is via weak boson fusion (WBF) which has the unique kinematic
feature of forward tagging jets. Since there is no color exchange between the
forward-backward objects in WBF processes, electroweak radiative corrections
become particularly important. In this paper, we focus on the electroweak
radiative corrections at next-to-leading order for Higgs boson production in
the WBF channel at the LHeC. In the two renormalization schemes we use, the
loop corrections are respectively at the level of 9% and 18% relative to the
leading order result, and the next-to-leading calculation in both schemes agree
up to a truncation error expected from the perturbative method. The size of the
EW correction exceeds that from QCD radiations and is shown to be important for
the study of Higgs phenomenology.

fields play the role of the inflaton. In the simplest cases, the inflaton
potential has a fractional power, which is different from that of the original

Phys. Rev. D | null | null | UWThPh-2020-19 | hep-ph hep-th | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ | We show that the Borel representations of tau hadronic spectral function
moments based on contour-improved perturbation theory (CIPT) in general differ
from those obtained within fixed-order perturbation theory (FOPT) in the
presence of IR renormalons in the underlying Adler function. The Borel sums
obtained from both types of Borel representations in general differ as well,
and the apparently conflicting behavior of the FOPT and CIPT spectral function
moment series at intermediate orders, which has been subject to many studies in
the past literature, can be understood quantitatively using concrete Borel
function models. The difference between the CIPT and FOPT Borel sums, which we
call the "asymptotic separation", can be computed analytically for any Borel
function model and is proportional to inverse exponential terms in the strong
coupling. Even though moments can be designed where the asymptotic separation
is strongly suppressed, it is as a matter of principle unavoidable. If the
Borel function of the Euclidean Adler function has a sizeable gluon condensate
renormalon cut, the asymptotic separation can explain the observed disparity of
the CIPT and FOPT spectral function moments at the 5-loop level. The existence
of the asymptotic separation implies that the power corrections in the operator
product expansion for the spectral function moments in the CIPT expansion
approach do not have the commonly assumed analytic standard form.

relative to the initial longitudinal expansion rate of the plasma. The
effective longitudinal pressure remains significantly below the lattice QCD
pressure until the plasma cools to near the confinement scale. Therefore, the
transverse energy per unit of rapidity and its dependence on beam energy

surprisingly compatible with a minimal, symmetryless and unbiased approach,
called anarchy. This contrasts with highly involved flavor symmetry models. On
the other hand, hints for light sterile neutrinos have emerged from a variety
of independent experiments and observations. If confirmed, their existence
would represent a groundbreaking discovery, calling for a theoretical
interpretation. We discuss anarchy in the two-neutrino eV-scale seesaw
framework. The distributions of mixing angles and masses according to anarchy
are in agreement with global fits for the active and sterile neutrino
parameters. Our minimal and economical scenario predicts the absence of
neutrinoless double beta decay and one vanishing neutrino mass, and can
therefore be tested in future experiments.

the LHC. The production of an ultraheavy narrow particle may have a larger rate
than the QCD background even when the final state includes only hadronic jets.
We consider two classes of models that lead to 4-jet signals. In the first
class a diquark scalar decays into two vectorlike quarks. In the second one a
coloron decays into two color-octet scalars or into a pair of vectorlike
quarks. We show that a diquark as heavy as 11.5 TeV, or a coloron as heavy as
8.5 TeV may be discovered at the LHC. We point out that a CMS 4-jet event may
be due to an 8 TeV resonance decaying into two secondary particles, each with a
mass of 1.8 TeV. We find that the QCD background with a 4-jet mass and dijet
masses that equal or exceed those of the CMS event is approximately $5\times
10^{-5}$ events in 78 fb$^{-1}$ of data, while the diquark signal could have
easily produced that event. The diquark also decays directly into two jets,
which may be the origin of some of the three other events of mass near 8 TeV
observed by ATLAS and CMS.

at LHC. We also consider the two body decay mode of excited lepton ($l^*$) to
standard model fermion($l$) and a gauge boson $V(\equiv \gamma,Z,W)$. We have
performed next-to-leading order (NLO) QCD corrections to this process. In spite
of non-renormalizable nature of the interaction, the higher order QCD
corrections are possible and meaningful. We have shown that these corrections
can be substantial and significant. By considering the issue of scale
dependence, it is shown that the scale dependence of the NLO cross sections are
greatly reduced as compare to leading order (LO) cross section.

We have performed next-to-leading order (NLO) QCD corrections to this process. In spite of non-renormalizable nature of the interaction, the higher order QCD corrections are possible and meaningful. We have shown that these corrections can be substantial and significant. By considering the issue of scale dependence, it is shown that the scale dependence of the NLO cross sections are greatly reduced as compare to leading order (LO) cross section. |

our Standard-Model predictions have almost unchanged central values, but
significantly reduced errors. Since the new data have moved quite a bit towards
these results, the "B -> pi K puzzle" for the CP-conserving quantities has been
significantly reduced. However, the mixing-induced CP violation of B^0_d ->

could be accommodated through a modified electroweak penguin sector with a
large CP-violating new-physics phase. Finally, we point out that the

``flavours''. We review the impact of neutrino oscillation experiments, which
show that leptons mix very differently from quarks, placing a major challenge,
but also providing a key input to the flavour puzzle. We briefly sketch the
seesaw and ``scotogenic'' approaches to neutrino mass, the latter including
also WIMP dark matter. We discuss the limitations of popular neutrino mixing
patterns and examine the possibility that they arise from symmetry, giving a
bottom-up approach to residual flavour and CP symmetries. We show how family

We review the model-independent ways to predict lepton mixing and test both

flavour theories in four and more space-time dimensions, and their predictions.
Benchmarks given include an $A_4$ scotogenic construction with trimaximal
mixing pattern TM2. Higher-dimensional completions are also reviewed, such as
5-D warped flavordynamics. We present a $T^\prime$ warped flavordynamics theory
with TM1 mixing pattern, detectable neutrinoless double beta decay rates and
providing a very good fit of flavour observables, including quarks. We also
review how 6-D orbifolds offer a way to determine the structure of the 4-D
family symmetry from the symmetries between the extra-D branes. We describe a
scotogenic $A_4$ orbifold predicting the ``golden'' quark-lepton mass relation,
large neutrino mass with normal ordering, higher atmospheric octant, restricted

dichroism in strong electromagnetic fields. According to quantum
electrodynamics, the vacuum state exhibits different refractive properties
depending on the probe photon polarization and one also obtains different
probabilities of the photon decay via production of electron-positron pairs.
Here we investigate these two phenomena by means of several different
approaches to computing the polarization operator. The external field is
assumed to be a linearly polarized plane electromagnetic wave of arbitrary
amplitude and frequency. Varying the probe-photon energy and the field
parameters, we thoroughly examine the validity of the locally-constant field
approximation (LCFA) and techniques involving perturbative expansions in terms
of the external-field amplitude. Within the latter approach, we develop a
numerical method based on a direct evaluation of the weak-field Feynman
diagrams, which can be employed for investigating more complex external
backgrounds. It is demonstrated that the polarization operator depends on two
parameters: classical nonlinearity parameter $\xi$ and the product $\eta =
\omega q_0 / m^2$ of the laser field frequency $\omega$ and the photon energy
$q_0$ ($m$ is the electron mass). The domains of validity of the approximate
techniques in the $\xi \eta$ plane are explicitly identified.

explicitly by scale anomaly. As a result, the lightest scalar particle (scalar
glueball, or dilaton) in QCD is not light, and cannot be described as a
Goldstone boson. Nevertheless basing on an effective low-energy theory of
broken scale invariance we argue that inside the hadrons the non-perturbative
interactions of gluon fields result in the emergence of a massless dilaton
excitation (which we call the "scalaron"). We demonstrate that our effective
theory of broken scale invariance leads to confinement. This theory allows a
dual formulation as a classical Yang-Mills theory on a curved conformal
space-time background. Possible applications are discussed, including the
description of strongly coupled quark-gluon plasma and the spin structure of
hadrons.

] | Classical conformal invariance of QCD in the chiral limit is broken explicitly by scale anomaly. As a result, the lightest scalar particle (scalar glueball, or dilaton) in QCD is not light, and cannot be described as a Goldstone boson. Nevertheless basing on an effective low-energy theory of broken scale invariance we argue that inside the hadrons the non-perturbative interactions of gluon fields result in the emergence of a massless dilaton excitation (which we call the "scalaron"). We demonstrate that our effective theory of broken scale invariance leads to confinement. This theory allows a dual formulation as a classical Yang-Mills theory on a curved conformal space-time background. Possible applications are discussed, including the description of strongly coupled quark-gluon plasma and the spin structure of hadrons. |

angle asymmetries in photo-production of hard di-jet via coherent diffraction
in ultraperipheral heavy ion collisions, as well as in electron-proton ($ep$)

identified as the diffractive production of two hard jets, accompanied by a
collinear gluon emission along the beam direction. In contrast, the diffractive
exclusive di-jet production, where the initial state radiation is absent, is
suppressed due to color transparency. Our analysis shows that azimuthal
asymmetries, traditionally attributed to final state gluon emissions, are
reduced by the presence of initial state radiations. The sensitivity of
azimuthal asymmetries to both initial and final state radiations suggests that
they could provide novel insights into the mechanisms of di-jet production in

arXiv:1205.2815 and arXiv:1208.5009 | null | null | null | hep-ph | http://arxiv.org/licenses/nonexclusive-distrib/1.0/ | The Standard Model of particle physics has been strengthened by the recent
discovery of the long-awaited Higgs boson. The standard cosmological model has
met the challenge of the high precision observations in cosmology and
astroparticle physics. However these two standard models face both several
theoretical issues, such as the naturalness problem in the Higgs sector of the
Standard Model, as well as observational issues, in particular the fact that an
unknown kind of matter called Dark Matter accounts for the majority of the
matter content in our Universe. Attempts to solve such problems have led to the
development of New Physics models during the last decades. Supersymmetry is one
such model which addresses the fine-tuning problem in the Higgs sector and
provides viable Dark Matter candidates. Current high energy and high precision
experiments give many new opportunities to probe the supersymmetric models. It
is in this context that this thesis is written. Considering the Minimal
Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM), the simplest supersymmetric extension of
the Standard Model of particle physics, and its conventional Dark Matter
candidate, the neutralino, it is shown that collider constraints could provide
informations on the very early Universe at the inflation area. It is also
demonstrated that the Indirect Detection of Dark Matter, despite several
drawbacks, can be a powerful technique to probe supersymmetric Dark Matter
models. Beyond the MSSM it is shown that unique characteristics of the Dark
Matter candidate in the NMSSM could be probed at colliders. The study of a
supersymmetric model with an extended gauge symmetry, the UMSSM, is also
developed. The features of another Dark Matter candidate of this model, the
Right-Handed sneutrino, are analysed. More general constraints such as those
coming from low energy observables are finally considered in this model.

breaking. This view is supported by an experiment on Compton scattering by the

from the $\sigma$ meson enters into the scattering amplitudes. This experiment
led to a determination of the mass of the $\sigma$ meson of $m_\sigma = 600 \pm

that, for the $tcg$ coupling the NLO QCD corrections can enhance the total
cross sections by about 60% and 30%, and for the $tug$ coupling by about 50%
and 20% at the Tevatron and LHC, respectively, which means that the NLO
corrections can increase the experimental sensitivity to the FCNC couplings by
about 10%$-$30%. Moreover, the NLO corrections reduce the dependence of the
total cross sections on the renormalization or factorization scale
significantly, which lead to increased confidence on the theoretical
predictions. Besides, we also evaluate the NLO corrections to several important
kinematic distributions, and find that for most of them the NLO corrections are
almost the same and do not change the shape of the distributions.

requires a sufficiently large system such as created in central nucleus-nucleus

the enhancement of fluctuations due to crossing the spinodal region of FOPT and

observed. Using transport model calculations with interaction potential we show
that the spinodal enhancement of fluctuations survives till the later stages of
collision via the memory effect [4]. However, at low collision energies the
space-momentum correlation is not strong enough for this signal to be
transferred to second and third order cumulants measured in momentum subspace.
This result agrees well with recent HADES data on proton number fluctuations at

the thermodynamics of the high temperature quark-gluon plasma using weak
coupling techniques, and we compare their results with those of most recent
lattice gauge calculations. Many of the difficulties encountered with
perturbation theory at finite temperature are in fact not specific to QCD but
are present in any field theory at finite temperature and will be discussed
first in the simple example of the scalar field theory. We discuss the merits
and limitations of various techniques which have been used to go beyond
perturbation theory in the soft sector, such as dimensional reduction, screened
perturbation theory or hard-thermal-loop perturbation theory, and Phi-derivable
approximations. In the last part of the review, we focus on the later, which
lead to a remarkably simple expression for the entropy of the quark-gluon
plasma. When complemented with further, physically motivated, approximations,
this approach reproduces accurately the entropy obtained from lattice gauge
calculations at temperatures above 2.5 T_c, where T_c is the deconfinement
temperature. This calculation thus provides also support to the physical
picture of the quark-gluon plasma as a gas of weakly interacting
quasiparticles.

] | We review the various methods which have been employed recently to describe the thermodynamics of the high temperature quark-gluon plasma using weak coupling techniques, and we compare their results with those of most recent lattice gauge calculations. Many of the difficulties encountered with perturbation theory at finite temperature are in fact not specific to QCD but are present in any field theory at finite temperature and will be discussed first in the simple example of the scalar field theory. We discuss the merits and limitations of various techniques which have been used to go beyond perturbation theory in the soft sector, such as dimensional reduction, screened perturbation theory or hard-thermal-loop perturbation theory, and Phi-derivable approximations. In the last part of the review, we focus on the later, which lead to a remarkably simple expression for the entropy of the quark-gluon plasma. When complemented with further, physically motivated, approximations, this approach reproduces accurately the entropy obtained from lattice gauge calculations at temperatures above 2.5 T_c, where T_c is the deconfinement temperature. This calculation thus provides also support to the physical picture of the quark-gluon plasma as a gas of weakly interacting quasiparticles. |
