Analysis | Latex, one eps figure, 19 pages; Added Note | AnnalsPhys.323:2851-2872,2008 | 10.1016/j.aop.2008.02.001 | null | hep-ph | null | We give a detailed study of axion-photon and photon-axion conversion
amplitudes, which enter the analysis of ``light shining through a wall''
experiments. Several different calculational methods are employed and compared,
and in all cases we retain a nonzero axion mass. To leading order, we find that
when the photon frequency $\omega$ is very close to the axion mass $m$, there
is a threshold cusp which significantly enhances the photon to axion conversion
amplitude, by a factor $\omega/\sqrt{\omega^2-m^2}$ relative to the
corresponding axion to photon conversion process. When $m=0$, the enhancement
factor reduces to unity and the results of previous calculations are recovered.
Our calculations include an exact wave matching analysis, which shows how
unitarity is maintained near threshold at $\omega=m$, and a discussion of the
case when the magnetic field extends into the ``wall'' region.

collision systems | Quark Matter 2023 Proceedings; 4 pages, 3 figures | null | null | null | hep-ph | http://arxiv.org/licenses/nonexclusive-distrib/1.0/ | Heavy meson production in reactions with nuclei is an active new frontier to
understand QCD dynamics and the process of hadronization in nuclear matter.
Measurements in various colliding systems at RHIC and LHC, including Pb-Pb,
Xe-Xe, O-O, p-Pb, and p-O, enable precision tests of the medium-size,
temperature, and mass dependencies of the in-medium parton propagation and
shower formation. We employ a coupled DGLAP evolution framework that takes
advantage of splitting functions recently obtained in soft-collinear effective
theory with Glauber gluons (SCET$_{\rm G}$) and hard thermal loop (HTL)
motivated collisional energy loss effects. With jet quenching effects
constrained to the nuclear modification factor of charged hadrons in Pb-Pb
collisions at 5.02 TeV, we present predictions for light and heavy-meson in
Xe-Xe, O-O and p-Pb collisions at the LHC. We find that the nuclear
modification scales non-trivially with the quark mass and medium properties. In
particular, there can be sizeable collision-induced attenuation of heavy mesons
in small systems such as oxygen-oxygen and high-multiplicity p-Pb events.
Finally, we analyze the impact of different models of initial-state parton
dynamics on the search for QGP signatures in small colliding systems.

Measurements in various colliding systems at RHIC and LHC, including Pb-Pb, Xe-Xe, O-O, p-Pb, and p-O, enable precision tests of the medium-size, temperature, and mass dependencies of the in-medium parton propagation and shower formation. We employ a coupled DGLAP evolution framework that takes advantage of splitting functions recently obtained in soft-collinear effective theory with Glauber gluons (SCET$_{\rm G}$) and hard thermal loop (HTL) motivated collisional energy loss effects. With jet quenching effects constrained to the nuclear modification factor of charged hadrons in Pb-Pb collisions at 5.02 TeV, we present predictions for light and heavy-meson in Xe-Xe, O-O and p-Pb collisions at the LHC. We find that the nuclear modification scales non-trivially with the quark mass and medium properties. In particular, there can be sizeable collision-induced attenuation of heavy mesons in small systems such as oxygen-oxygen and high-multiplicity p-Pb events. Finally, we analyze the impact of different models of initial-state parton dynamics on the search for QGP signatures in small colliding systems. |

matter scattering via nuclear recoils is strongly disfavored, even allowing for
exotic condensed matter effects in an as-yet unmeasured kinematic regime, due
to the unphysically-large dark matter velocity required to give comparable
rates in the different energy ranges of the silicon and germanium excesses. We
also investigate the possibility of inelastic nuclear scattering by cosmic ray
neutrons, solar neutrinos, and photons as the origin, and quantitatively
disfavor all three based on known fluxes of particles.

we leave its contribution in Compton-like diagrams only since, in this case,

interpret the experimental data. Present geophysical knowledge allows the
average density along a path with a length of several thousand km to be
estimated with an accuracy of about $\pm 5$ per cent. Physicists planning
neutrino beam experiments should decide whether or not this level of

] | Several proposed experiments will send beams of neutrinos through the Earth along paths with a source-receiver distance of hundreds or thousands of kilometers. Knowledge of the physical properties of the medium traversed by these beams, in particular the density, will be necessary in order to properly interpret the experimental data. Present geophysical knowledge allows the average density along a path with a length of several thousand km to be estimated with an accuracy of about $\pm 5$ per cent. Physicists planning neutrino beam experiments should decide whether or not this level of uncertainty is acceptable. If greater accuracy is required, intensive geophysical research on the Earth structure along the beam path should be conducted as part of the preparatory work on the experiments. |

Balitsky--Kovchegov equation | Intended to be submit as proceedings from the Hot Quarks 2022
conference | null | null | null | hep-ph | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0/ | This contribution presents the latest predictions for several QCD processes
at low-x in the color dipole picture which are of interest for current
hadron-hadron and future electron-hadron colliders. The predictions are derived
using the solution to the Balitsky-Kovchegov equation for proton and nuclear
targets. Two different approaches to the nuclear case are studied: a solution
obtained using a newly proposed type of initial condition which represents the
initial state of a given nucleus and the solutions based on an initial
condition representing a proton coupled to a Glauber-Gribov prescription. The
influence from the different energy evolutions of these two approaches are
studied in the following photo-nuclear processes: inclusive and diffractive
DIS, coherent production of a J/psi meson in ultra-peripheral collisions, and
the deeply virtual Compton scattering. By comparison to the available data from
HERA and the LHC and to the other models inspired by the Color Glass Condensate
framework, it is demonstrated that the future measurements will be useful to
discriminate among different approaches to saturation physics. The contribution
was presented at the Hot Quarks 2022 - Workshop for young scientists on the
physics of ultrarelativistic nucleus-nucleus collisions, Dao House, Colorado,
USA, October 11-17 2022.

kinetic energy. The value of the peak energy and its width are in a good
agreement with those expected for pions produced in a nuclear medium in the

consistent with the value of the cross-section maximum observed in coincidence
experiments of nucleon-nucleus interactions.

] | Features of dense groups, or spikes, of negative pions produced in Mg-Mg collisions at 4.3 GeV/c/nucleon are studied to search for a coherent, Cerenkov-like, mechanism of particle production process. We investigate the distributions of spike centers and, for the first time, the energy spectra of particles in spikes. The spike-center distributions are obtained to exhibit the structure due to the coherent gluon-jet emission dynamics. This structure is similar to that observed recently for all-charged-particle spikes in hadronic and nuclear interactions. The energy distribution within spikes is found to have a significant peak over the inclusive background, while the inclusive spectrum shows exponential decrease with two characteristic values of average kinetic energy. The value of the peak energy and its width are in a good agreement with those expected for pions produced in a nuclear medium in the framework of the Cerenkov quantum approach. The peak energy obtained is consistent with the value of the cross-section maximum observed in coincidence experiments of nucleon-nucleus interactions. |

insight is gained by comparing the charmed and bottom baryons. We discuss the
running of the baryon matrix elements and compare the results with the

elements are compatible with the literature, those of the four-quark ones
deviate largely. In particular, the heavy quark limit holds reasonably well in
the bag model for four-quark operator matrix elements but is badly broken in
the NRQM. We predict $1-\tau(\Omega_b)/ \tau(\Lambda_b^0) = (8.34\pm2.22)\%$ in
accordance with the current experimental value of $(11.5^{+12.2}_{-11.6})\%$
and compatible with $(13.2\pm 4.7)\%$ obtained in the NRQM. We find an
excellent agreement between theory and experiment for the lifetimes of bottom
baryons. We confirm that $\Omega_c^0$ could live longer than $\Lambda_c^+$
after the dimension-7 four-quark operators are taken into account. We recommend
to measure some semileptonic inclusive branching fractions in the forthcoming

] | We have reconsidered theoretical upper bounds on the scalar boson masses within the two-Higgs-doublet model (THDM), employing the well-known technical condition of tree-level unitarity. Our treatment provides a modest extension and generalization of some previous results of other authors. We present a rather detailed discussion of the solution of the relevant inequalities and offer some new analytic formulae as well as numerical values for the Higgs mass bounds in question. A comparison is made with the earlier results on the subject that can be found in the literature. |

argued that recent measurements of pion electroproduction performed by HERMES

transversely polarized photons. Within the handbag approach such transitions
are described by the transversity GPDs accompanied by twist-3 pion wave
functions. It is shown that this handbag approach leads to results on cross
sections and single-spin asymmetries in fair agreement with experiment. The
surprising result is that the pi0 cross section is dominated by gamma_T -> pion

QCD sum rule approach, the medium effect on heavy quarkonia is induced by the
change of both scalar and twist-2 gluon condensates, whose temperature
dependences are extracted from the lattice calculations of energy density and
pressure. Although the stability of the operator product expansion side seems
to break down at T > 1.06Tc for the vector channel and T>1.04Tc for the
pseudoscalar channel, we find a sudden change of the spectral property across
the critical temperature Tc, which originates from an equally rapid change of
the scalar gluon condensate characterized by e-3p. By parameterizing the ground
state of the spectral density by the Breit-Wigner form, we find that for both
J/psi and eta_c, the masses suddenly decrease maximally by a few hundreds of
MeV and the widths broaden to ~100 MeV slightly above Tc. Implications for
recent and future heavy ion experiments are discussed.
We also carry out a similar analysis for charmonia in nuclear matter, which
could serve as a testing ground for observing the precursor phenomena of the
QCD phase transition. We finally discuss the possibility of observing the mass

beyond previous works by including the full dependence on the relevant mass
scales as opposed to using (non)relativistic approximations. In particular, we
use 1PI-resummed propagators without relying on the Hard-Thermal-Loop
approximation. We conduct our analysis at leading order in the loop expansion
of the 2PI effective action and compare our findings to commonly used
approximation schemes, including the aforementioned Hard-Thermal-Loop

thermal masses as a regulator for $t$-channel divergences. We find that the
Boltzmann approach deviates between $-10\%$ and $+30\%$ from our calculation,
where the size and sign strongly depends on the mass splitting between the DM
candidate and the gauge-charged parent. The HTL-approximated result is more
precise for small gauge couplings and is percent level accurate for large mass
splittings, whereas it overestimates the relic density up to $25 \%$ for small
mass splittings. Tree-level propagators lead to underabundant DM as they do not
account for scattering contributions and can deviate up to $-100\%$ from the
1PI-resummed result.

The relation between small-$x$ parton dynamics and the phenomenon of diffraction is briefly out-lined. In addition, a search for a novel, non-perturbative QCD effect, the production of QCD instanton induced events, is presented. |

Philadelphia, USA, 2008. 4 pages, 2 figures | null | null | null | hep-ph | http://arxiv.org/licenses/nonexclusive-distrib/1.0/ | The possibility of revealing new physics by studying the flavor sector of the
Standard Model strongly depends upon the accuracy that will be achieved in
(near) future lattice QCD calculations and, in particular, on heavy-light
meson's observables. In turn, handling with heavy-light mesons on the lattice
is a challenging problem, because of the presence of two largely separated
energy scales, and at present it is impossible to extract matrix elements
involving B mesons in external states without recurring to some approximation.
In this note I give a fast overview of some of the methods that have been
devised to handle such kind of problems, emphasizing those based on finite
volume techniques, and briefly discuss some recent results obtained by their
application.

based on the measurement of extensive air showers. Most cosmic ray properties
can therefore only be obtained from the interpretation of air shower data and
are thus depending on predictions of hadronic interaction models at ultra-high
energies. We discuss different scenarios of model extrapolations from
accelerator data to air shower energies and investigate their impact on the
corresponding air shower predictions. To explore the effect of different
extrapolations by hadronic interaction models we developed an ad hoc model.
This ad hoc model is based on the modification of the output of standard
hadronic interaction event generators within the air shower simulation process
and allows us to study the impact of changing interaction features on the air
shower development. In a systematic study we demonstrate the resulting changes
of important air shower observables and also discuss them in terms of the
predictions of the Heitler model of air shower cascades. It is found that the
results of our ad hoc modifications are, to a large extend, independent of the
choice of the underlying hadronic interaction model.

matter when protons strike the target. Searches for such a dark matter beam
using its scattering in a nearby detector must overcome the large neutrino
background. We characterize the spatial and energy distributions of the dark
matter and neutrino beams, focusing on their differences to enhance the
sensitivity to dark matter. We find that a dark matter beam produced by a $Z'$
boson in the GeV mass range is both broader and more energetic than the
neutrino beam. The reach for dark matter is maximized for a detector sensitive
to hard neutral-current scatterings, placed at a sizable angle off the neutrino
beam axis. In the case of the Long-Baseline Neutrino Facility (LBNF), a
detector placed at roughly 6 degrees off axis and at a distance of about 200 m
from the target would be sensitive to $Z'$ couplings as low as 0.05. This
search can proceed symbiotically with neutrino measurements. We also show that
the MiniBooNE and MicroBooNE detectors, which are on Fermilab's Booster
beamline, happen to be at an optimal angle from the NuMI beam and could perform
searches with existing data. This illustrates potential synergies between LBNF
and the short-baseline neutrino program if the detectors are positioned
appropriately.
