lowered to near their experimental limit mtilde ~ 400 GeV, the upper and lower
limits of this range are extended, but only by factors of around two, and the
lower limit is not significantly altered by relaxing many particle physics
assumptions, varying the strange quark content of the nucleon, including the
effects of galactic small-scale structure, or assuming other components of dark
matter. Experiments are therefore rapidly entering the heart of dark
matter-favored supersymmetry parameter space. If no signal is seen,
supersymmetric models must contain some level of fine-tuning, and we identify

large and generic class of models, if thermal relic neutralinos are a

function, $g_{1}^{NS} $ is presented within the valon representation of
Hadrons. In the valon model, it is assumed that a nucleon is composed of three
dressed valence quarks: the valons which have their own internal structure, the
valence quark with its associated sea quarks and gluons. The results are in
good agreement with all available data from SMC, E143, HERMES and with the
newly released data from COMPASS experiments. It appears that the small x tail
of $g_{1}^{NS}$ can be described by a single Regge-type exchange. The relevant

] | A next-to-leading order QCD calculation of non-singlet spin structure function, $g_{1}^{NS} $ is presented within the valon representation of Hadrons. In the valon model, it is assumed that a nucleon is composed of three dressed valence quarks: the valons which have their own internal structure, the valence quark with its associated sea quarks and gluons. The results are in good agreement with all available data from SMC, E143, HERMES and with the newly released data from COMPASS experiments. It appears that the small x tail of $g_{1}^{NS}$ can be described by a single Regge-type exchange. The relevant parameter of this exchange is given. Finally we show that the polarized proton structure function has a scaling behavior at small x. The relevant parameters of this behavior are given too. |

present-day annihilation of DM in the galactic center produces boosted stable
particles in the dark sector. These stable particles are typically a
subdominant DM component, but because they are produced with a large Lorentz
boost in this process, they can be detected in large volume terrestrial
experiments via neutral-current-like interactions with electrons or nuclei.
This novel DM signal thus combines the production mechanism associated with
indirect detection experiments (i.e. galactic DM annihilation) with the
detection mechanism associated with direct detection experiments (i.e. DM
scattering off terrestrial targets). Such processes are generically present in
multi-component DM scenarios or those with non-minimal DM stabilization
symmetries. As a proof of concept, we present a model of two-component thermal
relic DM, where the dominant heavy DM species has no tree-level interactions
with the standard model and thus largely evades direct and indirect DM bounds.
Instead, its thermal relic abundance is set by annihilation into a subdominant
lighter DM species, and the latter can be detected in the boosted channel via
the same annihilation process occurring today. Especially for dark sector
masses in the 10 MeV-10 GeV range, the most promising signals are electron
scattering events pointing toward the galactic center. These can be detected in
experiments designed for neutrino physics or proton decay, in particular
Super-K and its upgrade Hyper-K, as well as the PINGU/MICA extensions of
IceCube. This boosted DM phenomenon highlights the distinctive signatures
possible from non-minimal dark sectors.

It illustrates the correspondence between unitarity and saturation corrections in the dipole approach and multiple t-channel pomeron exchange in the traditional BFKL view, and discusses how one can estimate and understand the effects of saturation. |

applicability, and can be used if the charged Higgs boson mass is either
greater or less than the mass of the top quark. For the latter mass region,

boson at a range of low energy experiments. It couples to the Standard Model
charged particles with a strength <= 10^-3 to 10^-4 of that of the photon. The
possibility of such a particle mediating dark matter self-interactions has
received much attention recently. We consider searches at low energy high
luminosity colliders, meson decays, and fixed target experiments. Based on
available data, searches both at colliders and in meson decays can discover or
exclude such a scenario if the coupling strength is on the larger side. We
emphasize that a dedicated fixed target experiment has a much better potential
in searching for such a gauge boson, and outline the desired properties of such
an experiment. Two different optimal designs should be implemented to cover the

the photon polarization tensor in a medium consisting of an electron-positron
plasma and a gas of neutrinos and antineutrinos, interacting within the
Standard Model. Such a contribution exactly takes into account the temperature

that this mechanism can explain strong magnetic fields of magnetars. Then we
use our approach to study the cosmological magnetic field evolution. We find a

new decay modes of heavy Higgs bosons are: $H\to t_4 t \to Wbt, Zt t, ht t$ and
$H\to b_4 b \to Wtb, Zb b, hb b$, where $t_4$ ($b_4$) is the new up-type

even Higgs boson in the two Higgs doublet model type-II but the signatures are
relevant for many other scenarios. We identify the region of the parameter
space where these decay modes are significant or can even dominate, and thus
they provide the best opportunities for the simultaneous discovery of a new
Higgs boson and vectorlike quarks. We further explore the reach of the High

$b_4\to Zb\to\ell\ell b$, and found that cross sections at a 0.1 fb level can

vectorlike quarks. Furthermore, the reach for vectorlike quarks in Higgs

inherently nonperturbative structure of hadrons at momenta below the QCD
confinement scale. In so doing, we mainly seek a better control over the
partonic substructure of strongly-interacting matter, especially as this
relates to the nonperturbative effects that both motivate and complicate
experiments --- particularly DIS; among others, such considerations entail
sub-leading corrections in $Q^2$, dynamical higher twist effects, and hadron
mass corrections. We also present novel calculations of several examples of
flavor symmetry violation, which also originates in the long-distance
properties of QCD at low energy. Moreover, we outline a recently developed
model, framed as a hadronic effective theory amenable to QCD global analysis,
which provides new insights into the possibility of nonperturbative heavy
quarks in the nucleon. This model can be extended to the scale of the lighter
mesons, and we assess the accessibility of the structure function of the
interacting pion in the resulting framework.

$\Lambda_{QCD}^3$, it has been proposed that instanton generated vertices may
play an important role in the Cooper pair formation. We study the
renormalization group flow to the Fermi surface of the full set of couplings
generated by gluonic and instanton interactions. In earlier work we showed that
if the gluonic interactions dominate at the matching scale, their running
determines the scale of the Cooper pair formation Delta. Here we consider all
possibilities, including the one in which the instanton interactions dominate
all others at the matching scale. In the latter case we find that a number of
additional induced couplings (including the gluonic ones) reach their Landau
poles almost simultaneously with the instanton vertex. Presumably all
contribute to the Cooper pair formation. The most important consequence of
including all the couplings is a large increase in the gap size Delta.

At lower densities of order $\Lambda_{QCD}^3$, it has been proposed that instanton generated vertices may play an important role in the Cooper pair formation. We study the renormalization group flow to the Fermi surface of the full set of couplings generated by gluonic and instanton interactions. In earlier work we showed that if the gluonic interactions dominate at the matching scale, their running determines the scale of the Cooper pair formation Delta. Here we consider all possibilities, including the one in which the instanton interactions dominate all others at the matching scale. In the latter case we find that a number of additional induced couplings (including the gluonic ones) reach their Landau poles almost simultaneously with the instanton vertex. Presumably all contribute to the Cooper pair formation. The most important consequence of including all the couplings is a large increase in the gap size Delta. |

Initially we solve for the ghost alone, using a model gluon input, which leads
us to favour a finite ghost dressing in the non-perturbative region. In order
to then solve the gluon and ghost equations simultaneously, we find that
non-trivial vertices are required, particularly for the gluon propagator in the
small momentum limit. We focus on the properties of a number vertices and how

lepton number violating $\lambda_{121}$ and/or $\lambda_{122}$ couplings are

is assumed to be bino and it decays via the R-parity violating couplings into

analysis, the slepton mass can be discovered upto $\sim$ 1.54 TeV and excluded
upto $\sim$ 1.87 TeV at the high luminosity LHC while these ranges go upto
$\sim$ 2.46 TeV and $\sim$ 3.06 TeV respectively at the high energy LHC.

gravity meditation (PGM) models of supersymmetry breaking. Minimal PGM models
require only two parameters, the gravitino mass, $m_{3/2}$, which sets the UV
mass for all scalar masses, and $\tan\beta$. Gaugino masses are generated
through anomaly mediation. Typically the lightest supersymmetric state (the
dark matter candidate) is a wino. Here, we consider a one-parameter extension
of the minimal model by allowing the Higgs soft masses to deviate from
universality. For simplicity, we take these to be equal and use the $\mu$-term
as a surrogate. We also consider non-universal stop masses. When $|\mu| \sim 1$
TeV, the Higgsino is a viable dark matter candidate when the gravitino mass is
of order $\sim 1$ PeV and $\tan\beta \simeq 2$. We calculate the spin-dependent
and spin-independent cross sections for dark matter scattering on protons. For
spin-independent scattering, existing experimental limits place constraints on
the PGM parameter space. Much of the currently allowed parameter space lies
above the irreducible neutrino background. Thus, future direct detection
experiments will be able to probe much of the remaining PGM parameter space.
