Multileptons | 18 pages, 5 figures. Added references, revised Section 2, results

bosons in the H -> Z A -> Z tau+ tau- channel. We present three benchmark
scenarios in the NMSSM where H -> ZA is the dominant decay mode for one of the
nonstandard Higgs bosons while the lightest CP-even Higgs is Standard Model
like. Using the latest CMS multilepton analysis based on 7 TeV LHC data, we put
limits on the signal cross-section, which constrain leptophilic scenarios.
Projecting to future LHC analyses with improvements in background modeling, we
show that with O(30) fb^{-1} of data, such a multilepton analysis is very close
to constraining our NMSSM benchmarks. As we illustrate with a toy model, for
light A masses, the large boost of the A makes it inefficient to select two
hadronic taus, since isolation and the transverse momenta are in tension. This
efficiency could be improved by including boosted di-tau jets as an object in
future multilepton analyses. We also discuss different methods to confirm this
scenario by reconstruction of the m_H and m_A masses. In particular we consider
the transverse mass distribution, collinear mass distribution and an analytical
solution using trial masses.

as a guiding principle on the QCD phase diagram where interacting HRG can take
over from I-HRG. For $\mu_B/T\leq2$, $\chi^Q_2$ shoots the SB limit at the
smallest $T$, while for higher values of

from a phase transition the bulk of the quantum interaction inherent to the

collective part made of low-energy condensed degrees of freedom. The properties
of (some of the) statistically fluctuating fields are determined by these
condensate(s). This leads to a quasi-particle description at tree-level. It
appears that radiative corrections, which are sizable at large gauge coupling,
do not change the tree-level picture qualitatively. The thermodynamic
self-consistency of the quasi-particle approach implies nonperturbative

these masses, in turn, determine the evolution of the gauge coupling(s). The
hot gauge system approaches the behavior of an ideal gas of massless gluons at

$D^{*+} D^0$ at short distances followed by their binding into $T_{cc}^+$. The

distances followed by their rescattering into $T_{cc}^+ \pi^+$. A charm-meson
triangle singularity produces a narrow peak in the $T_{cc}^+ \pi^+$ invariant
mass distribution 6.1 MeV above the threshold with a width of about 1 MeV. Well
beyond the peak, the differential cross section decreases with the invariant
kinetic energy $E$ of $T_{cc}^+ \pi^+$ as $E^{-1/2}$. The fraction of
$T_{cc}^+$ that are accompanied by $\pi^+$ with $E< m_\pi$ is estimated to be
roughly 3%. The fraction of $T_{cc}^+$ events with $T_{cc}^+ \pi^+$ in the
narrow peak from the triangle singularity could be comparable.

the Groenewold-Moyal plane. The length scale of spcetime noncommutativity is
constrained from the CPT violation measurements in $K^{0}-\bar{K}^{0}$ system
and $g-2$ difference of $\mu^+ - \mu^-$. The $K^{0}-\bar{K}^{0}$ system
provides an upper bound on the length scale of spacetime noncommutativity of
the order of $10^{-32} \textrm{m}$, corresponding to a lower energy bound $E$
of the order of $E \gtrsim 10^{16}\textrm{GeV}$. The $g-2$ difference of $\mu^+
- \mu^-$ constrains the noncommutativity length scale to be of the order of
$10^{-20} \textrm{m}$, corresponding to a lower energy bound $E$ of the order
of $E \gtrsim 10^{3}\textrm{GeV}$.
We also present the phenomenology of the electromagnetic interaction of
electrons and nucleons at the tree level in the noncommutative spacetime. We
show that the distributions of charge and magnetization of nucleons are
affected by spacetime noncommutativity. The analytic properties of
electromagnetic form factors are also changed and it may give rise to
interesting experimental signals.

without a $Z_2$-symmetry, referred to variously as an inert, sterile or singlet
scalar, or $\phi^3+\phi^4$ theory. Such a scalar field arises in a wide range
of models, including as the inflaton, or as a portal to the dark sector. At
high temperatures, we perform dimensional reduction, matching to an effective
theory in three dimensions, which we then study both perturbatively to
three-loop order and on the lattice. For strong first-order transitions, with
large tree-level cubic couplings, our lattice Monte-Carlo simulations agree
with perturbation theory within error. However, as the size of the cubic
coupling decreases, relative to the quartic coupling, perturbation theory
becomes less and less reliable, breaking down completely in the approach to the
$Z_2$-symmetric limit, in which the transition is of second order.
Notwithstanding, the renormalisation group is shown to significantly extend the
validity of perturbation theory. Throughout, our calculations are made as
explicit as possible so that this article may serve as a guide for similar

are around ${\cal O}$(MeV-GeV). We identify the typical spectra and argue that
they provide information on the ratio of the inflaton mass to the reheating
temperature. This primordial neutrino signal can be strong enough that it can
be detected in IceCube. More speculatively, for a reheating temperature and
inflaton mass satisfying $T_R={\cal O}(1-100)\, {\rm MeV}$, and $m_\phi={\cal

includes the lightest fermionic resonances. A new, possibly large,
logarithmically divergent contribution to S is identified, which comes purely
from the strong dynamics. It can be interpreted as a running of S induced by
the non-renormalizable Higgs interactions due to the non-linear sigma-model
structure. As expected, the corrections to the T parameter coming from fermion
loops are finite and dominated by the contributions of the lightest composite
states. The fit of the oblique parameters suggests a rather stringent lower
bound on the sigma-model scale f > 750GeV. The corrections to the Z bL bL
vertex coming from the lowest-order operators in the effective Lagrangian are
finite and somewhat correlated to the corrections to T. Large additional
contributions are generated by contact interactions with 4 composite fermions.
In this case a logarithmic divergence can be generated and the correlation with
T is removed. We also analyze the tree-level corrections to the top couplings,
which are expected to be large due to the sizable degree of compositeness of
the third generation quarks. We find that for a moderate amount of tuning the
deviation in Vtb can be of order 5% while the distortion of the Z tL tL vertex

the asymptotic behavior of $wf$ at large $\k$ ( which is turned out to be
Gaussian commonly used in the phenomenological analyses). We discuss some
applications of the obtained results. In particular, we calculate the
nonleading ``soft" contribution to the pion form factor at intermediate
momentum transfer. We argue, that due to the specific properties of $\psi(\k,
x)$, the corresponding contribution can temporarily {\bf simulate} the leading
twist behavior in the extent region of $ Q^2 $. The same effect also takes
place for the nucleon formfactor. Such a mechanism, if it is correct, would be

LHC analyses for unravelling any specific new physics signal. We present an
extension of the LHC reinterpretation capabilities of the programme allowing
for the inclusion of theoretical and systematical uncertainties on the signal
in the reinterpretation procedure. We have implemented extra methods dedicated
to the extrapolation of the impact of a given analysis to higher luminosities,
including various options for the treatment of the errors. As an application,
we study three classes of new physics models. We first focus on a simplified
model in which the Standard Model is supplemented by a gluino and a neutralino.
We show that uncertainties could in particular degrade the bounds by several
hundreds of GeV when considering 3000 fb$^{-1}$ of future LHC data. We next
investigate another supersymmetry-inspired simplified model, in which the
Standard Model is extended by a first generation squark species and a
neutralino. We reach similar conclusions. Finally, we study a class of
s-channel dark matter setups and compare the expectation for two types of
scenarios differing in the details of the implementation of the mediation
between the dark and Standard Model sectors.

] | The MadAnalysis 5 framework can be used to assess the potential of various LHC analyses for unravelling any specific new physics signal. We present an extension of the LHC reinterpretation capabilities of the programme allowing for the inclusion of theoretical and systematical uncertainties on the signal in the reinterpretation procedure. We have implemented extra methods dedicated to the extrapolation of the impact of a given analysis to higher luminosities, including various options for the treatment of the errors. As an application, we study three classes of new physics models. We first focus on a simplified model in which the Standard Model is supplemented by a gluino and a neutralino. We show that uncertainties could in particular degrade the bounds by several hundreds of GeV when considering 3000 fb$^{-1}$ of future LHC data. We next investigate another supersymmetry-inspired simplified model, in which the Standard Model is extended by a first generation squark species and a neutralino. We reach similar conclusions. Finally, we study a class of s-channel dark matter setups and compare the expectation for two types of scenarios differing in the details of the implementation of the mediation between the dark and Standard Model sectors. |

low-lying $1P$-wave doubly charmed baryons. Some interesting observations are:
(i) The states $\Xi_{cc}^*$ and $\Omega_{cc}^*$ with $J^P=3/2^+$ have a fairly
large decay rate into the $\Xi_{cc}\gamma$ and $\Omega_{cc}\gamma$ channels
with a width $\sim 15$ and $\sim7$ keV, respectively. (ii) The lowest lying
excited doubly charmed baryons are dominated by the $1P$ $\rho$ mode
excitations, which should be quite narrow states. They decay into the ground
state with $J^P=1/2^+$ through the radiative transitions with a significant
ratio. (iii) The total decay widths of the first orbital excitations of
$\lambda$ mode ($1P_{\lambda}$ states with $J^P=1/2^-$, $3/2^-$, $5/2^-$) are
about $\Gamma\sim100$ MeV, and the ratio between the radiative and hadronic
decay widths is about $\mathcal{O}(10^{-3})$.

Dimensions | 16 pages | null | null | null | hep-ph gr-qc hep-th | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ | Neutrons and neutrinos are natural probes for new physics. Since they carry
no conserved gauge quantum numbers, both can easily mix with the fermions from
hidden sectors. A particularly interesting effect is the oscillation of a
neutron or a neutrino into a fermion propagating in large extra dimensions. In
fact, such a mixing has been identified as the possible origin of small
neutrino mass. In this paper, we study neutron oscillations into an
extra-dimensional fermion and show that this effect provides a resonance
imaging of the Kaluza-Klein tower. The remarkable feature of this phenomenon is
its generic nature: because of a fine spacing of the Kaluza-Klein tower,
neutrons at a variety of energy levels, both free or within nuclei, find a bulk
oscillation partner. In particular, the partner can be a Kaluza-Klein mode of
the same species that gives mass to the neutrino. The existence of bulk states
matching the neutron energy levels of nuclear spectra gives rise to tight
constraints as well as to potentially observable effects. For a free neutron,
we predict recurrent resonant oscillations occurring with the values of the
magnetic field correlated with the KK levels. We derive bounds on extra
dimensions from ultra-cold neutron experiments and suggest signatures for
refined measurements, which, in particular, can probe the parameter space
motivated by the Hierarchy Problem. Ultra-cold neutron experiments offer a

us to determine separate and combined limits on the neutralino mass as a

Monte Carlo programs are run; events with decays of a chosen particle are
searched, decay trees are analysed and appropriate information is stored. Then,
at the analysis step, a list of all found decay modes is defined and branching
ratios are calculated for both runs. Histograms of all scalar Lorentz-invariant
masses constructed from the decay products are plotted and compared for each
decay mode found in both runs. For each plot a measure of the difference of the

generators, TAUOLA and PYTHIA. The HEPEVT (or LUJETS) common block is used as

proved that this amplitude tends to zero as $t\to\infty$ more slowly than any
exponential function of $t$. For a time-dependent decay rate $\gamma(t)$
Khalfin's result means that this $\gamma(t)$ is not a constant for large $t$
but that it tends to zero as $t\to\infty$. We find that a similar conclusion
can be drawn for the instantaneous energy of the unstable state for a large
class of models of unstable states: This energy tends to the minimal energy of
the system ${\cal E}_{min}$ as $t\to\infty$ which is much smaller than the
energy of this state for $t$ of the order of the lifetime of the considered
state. Analyzing the transition time region between exponential and
non-exponential form of the survival amplitude we find that the instantaneous
energy of a considered unstable state can take large values, much larger than
the energy of this state for $t$ from the exponential time region. Taking into
account results obtained for a model considered, it is hypothesized that this
purely quantum mechanical effect may be responsible for the properties of broad
resonances such as $\sigma$ meson as well as having astrophysical and

(0-5\%) Pb-Pb collisions at $\sqrt {s_{NN}}=2.76$ TeV have been studied using
the parton and hadron cascade ({\footnotesize PACIAE}) model plus the
dynamically constrained phase space coalescence ({\footnotesize DCPC}) model.
It is found that the $R_{AA}$ of light (anti)nuclei ($d, \bar d$) is similar to
that of hadrons ($\pi^\pm, p, \bar p$), and the $R_{AA}$ of antiparticles is
the same as that of particles. The suppression of $R_{AA}$ at high-$p_T$
strongly depends on event centrality and mass of the particles, i.e., the
central collision is more suppressed than the peripheral collision. Besides,
the yield ratios and double ratios for different particle species in $pp$ and
Pb-Pb collisions are discussed, respectively. It is observed that the yield
ratios and double ratios of $d$ to $p$ and $p$ to $\pi$ are similar to those of
their anti-particles in three different collision systems, suggesting that the

tri-bimaximal mixing. In the framework of the supersymmetry with $U(1)_R$
symmetry, we obtain vacuum expectation values (VEVs) and VEV alignments of
flavons through driving fields. It is considered that flavon induces
distinctive flavor violating process if flavon mass is light. Assuming mass of
SUSY particles are sufficiently heavy so that the SUSY contributions can be
negligible, we discuss the flavor violating Yukawa interaction through flavon
exchange in the charged lepton sector. According to the potential analysis, the
VEV of flavon breaks $A_4$ down to $Z_3$ in the charged lepton sector and
relation among flavon masses is determined. Thanks for the residual $Z_3$
symmetry, many lepton flavor violating decay modes are forbidden except for
$\tau \rightarrow \mu \mu \bar{e}$ and $\tau \rightarrow e e \bar{\mu}$. A mass
limit of the flavon from these three-body decay modes is $60$~GeV taking into
account the current experimental lower bounds at the Belle experiment. In our
model, we predict a ratio of the branching ratios $\tau \rightarrow \mu \mu
\bar{e}$ and $\tau \rightarrow e e \bar{\mu}$ by using known charged lepton
masses. We also find that the production cross section for the flavon can be
$\mathcal{O}(1)$ fb. Thus the flavon would be found at the LHC run 2 by
searching for 4-tau lepton signal.

into account the finite size of both the photon-emitting and the target

effect for large values of the $z_\gamma$ variable in the dijet photoproduction
cross section in lead-lead UPCs at 5.02 TeV compared to the widely-used
pointlike approximation where the nuclear radius is accounted only as a sharp
cut-off in the photon flux calculation. This resolution of the spatial degrees
of freedom is a result of having high-transverse-momentum jets in the final
state, which at the large-$z_\gamma$ kinematics requires a highly energetic
photon in the initial state, thus biasing the collisions to small
impact-parameter ''near-encounter'' configurations. We further discuss the role
of the forward-neutron event-class selection in isolating the photonuclear
cross section in the nucleus-nucleus collisions, and employ the needed

] | A new framework for handling flavor symmetry breaking in the neutrino sector is discussed where the source of symmetry breaking is traced to the global property of right-handed neutrinos in extra-dimensional space. Light neutrino phenomenology has rich and robust predictions such as the tri/bi-maximal form of generation mixing, controlled mass spectrum, and no need of flavor mixing couplings in the theory. |

recent deep-inelastic-scattering data | 23 pages, 26 figures and 4 tables. V3: Only few comments and
references added in the replaced version, results unchanged. Code can be
found at http://particles.ipm.ir/links/QCD.htm | null | 10.1088/0954-3899/40/4/045002 | null | hep-ph | http://arxiv.org/licenses/nonexclusive-distrib/1.0/ | We present our QCD analysis of the proton structure function $F_2^p(x,Q^2)$
to determine the parton distributions at the next-to-leading order (NLO). The
heavy quark contributions to $F_2^i(x,Q^2)$, with $i$ = $c$, $b$ have been
included in the framework of the `fixed flavour number scheme' (FFNS). The
results obtained in the FFNS are compared with available results such as the
general-mass variable-flavour-number scheme (GM-VFNS) and other prescriptions
used in global fits of PDFs. In the present QCD analysis, we use a wide range
of the inclusive neutral-current deep-inelastic-scattering (NC DIS) data,
including the most recent data for charm $F_2^c$, bottom $F_2^b$, longitudinal
$F_L$ structure functions and also the reduced DIS cross sections
$\sigma_{r,NC}^\pm$ from HERA experiments. The most recent HERMES data for
proton and deuteron structure functions are also added. We take into account
ZEUS neutral current $e^ \pm p$ DIS inclusive jet cross section data from HERA
together with the recent Tevatron Run-II inclusive jet cross section data from
CDF and D{\O}. The impact of these recent DIS data on the PDFs extracted from
the global fits are studied. We present two families of PDFs, {\tt KKT12} and
{\tt KKT12C}, without and with HERA `combined' data sets on $e^{\pm}p$ DIS. We
find these are in good agreement with the available theoretical models.

determining axion model parameters | 35 + 10 pages, 12 figures. V3 includes extended discussions and an
additional appendix on the Primakoff form factor correction; matches the
published version. Code available at
https://github.com/sebhoof/SolarAxionFlux | JCAP 09(2021)006 | 10.1088/1475-7516/2021/09/006 | null | hep-ph astro-ph.SR | http://arxiv.org/licenses/nonexclusive-distrib/1.0/ | We review the calculation of the solar axion flux from axion-photon and
axion-electron interactions and discuss the size of various effects neglected
in current calculations. For the Primakoff flux we then explicitly include the
partial degeneracy of electrons. We survey the available solar models and
opacity codes and develop a publicly available C++/Python code to quantify the
associated systematic differences and statistical uncertainties. The number of
axions emitted in helioseismological solar models is systematically larger by
about 5% compared to photospheric models, while the overall statistical
uncertainties in solar models are typically at the percent level in both
helioseismological and photospheric models. However, for specific energies, the
statistical fluctuations can reach up to about 5% as well. Taking these
uncertainties into account, we investigate the ability of the upcoming
helioscope IAXO to discriminate KSVZ axion models. Such a discrimination is
possible for a number of models, and a discovery of KSVZ axions with high $E/N$
ratios could potentially help to solve the solar abundance problem. We discuss
limitations of the axion emission calculations and identify potential
improvements, which would help to determine axion model parameters more
accurately.
