We propose Tri-bimaximal-Cabibbo (TBC) mixing, in which $\sin \theta_{13}= \sin

the Majorana neutrino mass may be treated as an effective dimension-five
operator, we find that the predicted saxion mass is lower. Two distinct
scenarios emerge. In the first, processes that generate the baryon asymmetry
are in equilibrium down to the mass of the right-handed neutrino. In the
second, the relevant processes never reach equilibrium; the baryon number
freezes in. We comment on implications for supersymmetric spectra and discuss
constraints on late decays of supersymmetric relics and from dark radiation. In
contrast to high-scale lepto-axiogenesis, which predicts superpartners with
masses of 10-100 TeV or more, we find this scenario is consistent with a wider
range of superpartner masses, all the way down to current direct search bounds.

ideal place to probe the strength of annihilation contribution in hadronic

framework of QCD factorization, by adopting two different schemes: scheme I is
similar to the method usually adopted in the QCD factorization approach, while
scheme II is based on the infrared behavior of gluon propagator and running
coupling. For comparison, in our calculation, we adopt three kinds of wave
functions for $B_{c}$ meson. It is found that: (a) The predicted branching
ratios in scheme I are, however, quite small and are almost impossible to be
measured at the LHCb experiment. (b) In scheme II, by assigning a dynamical
gluon mass to the gluon propagator, we can avoid enhancements of the
contribution from soft endpoint region. The strength of annihilation
contributions predicted in scheme II is enhanced compared to that obtained in
scheme I. However, the predicted branching ratios are still smaller than the
corresponding ones obtained in the perturbative QCD approach. The large

statistics and full sensitivity to all flavours of neutrinos, we adopt a
combination of several reaction channels from different large-scale neutrino
observatories, namely inverse beta decay on proton and elastic scattering on
electron from Hyper-Kamiokande (Hyper-K), charged current absorption on Argon
from Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE) and coherent elastic
scattering on Lead from RES-NOVA. Assuming no neutrino oscillation or specific
oscillation models, we obtain mock data for each channel through Poisson
processes with the predictions, for a typical source distance of 10 kpc in our
Galaxy, and then evaluate the probability distributions for all spectral
parameters of theoretical neutrino spectrum model with Bayes' theorem. Although
the results for either the electron-neutrinos or electron-antineutrinos reserve
relatively large uncertainties (according to the neutrino mass hierarchy), a
precision of a few percent (i.e., $\pm 1 \% \sim \pm 4 \%$ at a credible
interval of $2 \sigma$) is achieved for primary spectral parameters (e.g., mean
energy and total emitted energy) of other neutrino species. Moreover, the
correlation coefficients between different parameters are computed as well and
interesting patterns are found. Especially, the mixing-induced correlations are
sensitive to the neutrino mass hierarchy, which potentially makes it a brand
new probe to determine the neutrino mass hierarchy in the detection of galactic
supernova neutrinos. Finally, we discuss the origin of such correlation
patterns and perspectives for further improvement on our results.

they can be crucial if the SUSY masses are at the TeV energy range. We
summarize the most relevant heavy SUSY radiative effects in Higgs boson physics
and emphasize those that manifest a non-decoupling behaviour. We focus, in
particular, on the SUSY-QCD non-decoupling effects in fermionic Higgs decays,
flavour changing Higgs decays and Yukawa couplings. Some of their
phenomenological implications at future colliders are also studied.

] | We consider a plausible scenario in the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM) where all the genuine supersymmetric (SUSY) particles are heavier than the electroweak scale. In this situation, indirect searches via their radiative corrections to low energy observables are complementary to direct searches, and they can be crucial if the SUSY masses are at the TeV energy range. We summarize the most relevant heavy SUSY radiative effects in Higgs boson physics and emphasize those that manifest a non-decoupling behaviour. We focus, in particular, on the SUSY-QCD non-decoupling effects in fermionic Higgs decays, flavour changing Higgs decays and Yukawa couplings. Some of their phenomenological implications at future colliders are also studied. |

considering the inert doublet as a dark matter candidate. Moreover, the
presence of extra families enhances the Standard Model Higgs-nucleon coupling,
which has crucial impact on the Higgs and dark matter searches. We study the
limits on the inert dark matter mass in view of recent Xenon100 data. We find
that the mass of the inert dark matter must lie in a very narrow window 74-76
GeV while the Higgs must weigh more than 400 GeV. For the sake of completeness
we discuss the cases with fewer extra families, where the possibility of a
light Higgs boson opens up, enlarging the dark matter mass window to m_h/2-76
GeV. We find that Xenon100 constrains the DM-Higgs interaction, which in turn
implies a lower bound on the monochromatic gamma-ray flux from DM annihilation
in the galactic halo. For the mirror case, the predicted annihilation cross
section lies a factor of 4-5 below the current limit set by Fermi LAT, thus
providing a promising indirect detection signal.

explore its phenomenology, suggesting novel strategies for experimental
searches. In particular, we propose to analyze the diphoton and dilepton
invariant mass spectra in Fourier space in order to identify an approximately
periodic structure of resonant peaks. Among other signals, we highlight
displaced decays from resonantly-produced long-lived states and
high-multiplicity final states from cascade decays of excited gravitons.

] | The linear dilaton geometry in five dimensions, rediscovered recently in the continuum limit of the clockwork model, may offer a solution to the hierarchy problem which is qualitatively different from other extra-dimensional scenarios and leads to distinctive signatures at the LHC. We discuss the structure of the theory, in particular aspects of naturalness and UV completion, and then explore its phenomenology, suggesting novel strategies for experimental searches. In particular, we propose to analyze the diphoton and dilepton invariant mass spectra in Fourier space in order to identify an approximately periodic structure of resonant peaks. Among other signals, we highlight displaced decays from resonantly-produced long-lived states and high-multiplicity final states from cascade decays of excited gravitons. |

operators which, due to their flavor structure, are not constrained by neutrino

the Standard Model Higgs boson at the Fermilab Tevatron collider, focusing on
the two main search channels, the gluon-gluon fusion mechanism $gg \to H$ and
the Higgs-strahlung processes $q \bar q \to VH$ with $V=W/Z$, including all
relevant higher order QCD and electroweak corrections in perturbation theory.
We then estimate the various uncertainties affecting these predictions: the
scale uncertainties which are viewed as a measure of the unknown higher order
effects, the uncertainties from the parton distribution functions and the
related errors on the strong coupling constant, as well as the uncertainties
due to the use of an effective theory approach in the determination of the
radiative corrections in the $gg \to H$ process at next-to-next-to-leading
order. We find that while the cross sections are well under control in the
Higgs--strahlung processes, the theoretical uncertainties are rather large in
the case of the gluon-gluon fusion channel, possibly shifting the central
values of the next-to-next-to-leading order cross sections by more than
$\approx 40%$. These uncertainties are thus significantly larger than the
$\approx 10%$ error assumed by the CDF and D0 experiments in their recent
analysis that has excluded the Higgs mass range $M_H=$162-166 GeV at the 95%
confidence level. These exclusion limits should be, therefore, reconsidered in
the light of these large theoretical uncertainties.

as "runaway solutions" and violation of causality. The Landau-Lifshitz
approximation to the exact equation introduced by Lorentz, Abraham and Dirac is
widely used, though questions remain regarding its domain of validity. This
thesis explores an alternative treatment of the motion of a radiating electron,
based on an equation first proposed by Ford and O'Connell. A general condition
is found for solutions of this equation to deviate from those of
Landau-Lifshitz.
By exploring radiation reaction effects on a particle colliding with an
ultra-intense laser pulse we show that the regime where there is a significant
deviation of these two approaches can never be reached with existing or
proposed laser facilities. The methods used to explore single particle
interaction with an intense laser pulse are extended to describe the
interaction of a particle bunch with various realistic laser pulses. We find
that the interaction leads to a decrease in average momentum and relative
momentum spread. However, the decrease appears to be independent of the length
of the pulse and depends only on the energy in the pulse regardless of how it
is distributed. Radiation reaction effects occuring during the scattering of an
electron by a heavy, highly-charged nucleus are studied. Radiation reaction is
seen to affect the particle's motion. We find noticeable differences between
the predictions of the Ford-O'Connell and Landau-Lifshitz equations, albeit in
regimes where quantum effects would be important.

acceptable values of the baryon asymmetry for values of the CP-violating phases

is shown that in non-abelian gauge theories with a $\theta$ term, the induced

the vacuum angle $\theta$ in the gauge theories must be quantized. The
quantization rule is given by $\theta=2\pi/n~(n\neq 0)$ with n being the
topological charge of the magnetic monopole. Therefore, the strong CP problem
is automatically solved in the presence of a magnetic monopole of charge $\pm
1$ with $\theta=\pm 2\pi$, or magnetic monopoles of very large total
topological charge ($|n|\geq 10^92\pi$) if it is consistent with the abundance

decays. Flavour-violating ALPs appear as low energy effective theories for
various new physics scenarios such as t-channel dark sectors or
Froggatt-Nielsen models. In this case the top quark may decay to an ALP and an
up- or charm-quark. For masses in the few GeV range, the ALP is long lived
across most of the viable parameter space, suggesting a dedicated search. We
propose to search for these long lived ALPs in $t\bar{t}$ events, using one top
quark as a trigger. We focus on ALPs decaying in the hadronic calorimeter, and
show that the ratio of energy deposits in the electromagnetic and hadronic
calorimeters as well as track vetoes can efficiently suppress Standard Model
backgrounds. Our proposed search can probe exotic top branching ratios smaller
than $10^{-4}$ with a conservative strategy at the upcoming LHC run, and
potentially below the $10^{-7}$ level with more advanced methods. Finally we
also show that measurements of single top production probe these branching
ratios in the very short and very long lifetime limit at the $10^{-3}$ level.

We propose to search for these long lived ALPs in $t\bar{t}$ events, using one top quark as a trigger. We focus on ALPs decaying in the hadronic calorimeter, and show that the ratio of energy deposits in the electromagnetic and hadronic calorimeters as well as track vetoes can efficiently suppress Standard Model backgrounds. Our proposed search can probe exotic top branching ratios smaller than $10^{-4}$ with a conservative strategy at the upcoming LHC run, and potentially below the $10^{-7}$ level with more advanced methods. Finally we also show that measurements of single top production probe these branching ratios in the very short and very long lifetime limit at the $10^{-3}$ level. |

of one-loop amplitudes in Beyond-Standard-Model theories. Recola2 is based on
Recola, an efficient one-loop amplitude generator for the Standard Model, and
Rept1l, a newly developed tool to generate one-loop model files for Recola2 in
a fully automated way. Recola2 is able to operate with non-trivial extensions
of the SM, e.g. extended Higgs sectors and effective field theories. We discuss
first applications to extended Higgs sectors and their renormalization.

matter | 29 pages, 12 figures | null | null | null | hep-ph | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ | Recently there is a resurrection in the study of heavy quark bound states in
a hot and baryonless matter with an ambient magnetic field but the matter
produced at heavy-ion collider experiments is not perfectly baryonless, so we
wish to explore the effect of small baryon asymmetry on the properties of heavy
quarkonia immersed in a strongly magnetized hot quark matter. Therefore, we
have first revisited the structure of gluon self-energy tensor in the above
environment to compute the resummed propagator for gluons. This resummed
propagator embodies the properties of medium, which gets translated into the
(complex) potential between $Q$ and $\bar Q$ placed in the medium. We observe
that the baryon asymmetry makes the real-part of potential slightly more
attractive and weakens the imaginary-part. This opposing effects thus lead to
the enhancement of binding energies and the reduction of thermal widths of $Q
\bar Q$ ground states, respectively. Finally, the properties of quarkonia thus
deciphered facilitates to compute the dissociation points of $J/\psi$ and
$\Upsilon$, which are found to have slightly larger values in the presence of
baryon asymmetry. For example, $J/\psi$ is dissociated at $1.64~T_c$,
$1.69~T_c$, and $1.75~T_c$, whereas $\Upsilon$ is dissociated at $1.95~T_c$,
$1.97~T_c$ and $2.00 ~T_c$, for
$\mu=0, 60$ and $ 100 $ MeV, respectively. This observation prevents early
dissociation of quarkonia in the matter produced at ultrarelativistic heavy ion
collisions with a small net baryon number, compared to the ideal baryonless
matter.

a photon-photon collision is analyzed in the context of two Higgs doublet
model, taking account the complete one-loop contributions. In order to
illustrate the effect of the new physics, four benchmark points scenarios,
which are consistent with theoretical and current experimental constraints, are
chosen in the type-I of THDM with an exact alignment limit. In these benchmark
points, the CP even lightest Higgs boson ($h^0$) have the Standard Model like
couplings to the gauge bosons. The effect of individual contributions from each
type of one-loop diagrams on the total cross section are examined in detail.
The dependence of total cross section on the center-of-mass energy is also
presented at the various polarization configurations of the incoming photons.
Moreover, the regions $m_{12}^2-\tan\beta$ and $m_A-\tan\beta$ in the parameter
space of the THDM are scanned for some fixed values of other parameters. The
box-type diagrams make a much larger contribution to the total cross section
than the others at high energies. Total cross section can be enhanced by a two
factor thanks to opposite polarized photons as well as threshold effects.
