Analyses of various experimental measurements all indicate that the mixing angle $\theta_{K_1}$ of $K_1(1270)$ and $K_1(1400)$ is in the vicinity of $33^\circ$ or $57^\circ$. However, whether $\theta_{K_1}$ is greater or less than $45^\circ$ is still quite controversial. For example, there were two very recent studies of the strong decays of $K_1$ mesons. One group claimed that $\theta_{K_1}\approx 60^\circ$, while the other group obtained $\theta_{K_1}=(33.6\pm4.3)^\circ$. Since the determination of the mixing angles $\alpha_{^3\!P_1}$ and $\alpha_{^1\!P_1}$ with the former (latter) being the mixing angle of $f_1(1285)$ ($h_1(1170)$) and $f_1(1420)$ ($h_1(1380)$) in the flavor basis through mass relations depend on $\theta_{K_1}$, we show that $\theta_{K_1}\approx 57^\circ$ is ruled out as it leads to a too large deviation from ideal mixing in the $^1\!P_1$ sector, inconsistent with the lattice calculation of $\alpha_{^1\!P_1}$ and the observation of strong decays of $h_1(1170)$ and $h_1(1380)$. We find that for $\theta_{K_1}\approx (28-30)^\circ$, the corresponding $\alpha_{^3\!P_1}$ and $\alpha_{^1\!P_1}$ agree well with all lattice and phenomenological analyses. This again reinforces the statement that $\theta_{K_1}\sim 33^\circ$ is much more favored than $57^\circ$.

We present results for leading-twist azimuthal asymmetries in semi-inclusive lepton-nucleon deep-inelastic scattering due to naively time-reversal odd transverse-momentum dependent parton distribution functions from the light-cone constituent quark model. We carefully discuss the range of applicability of the model, especially with regard to positivity constraints and evolution effects. We find good agreement with available experimental data from COMPASS and HERMES, and present predictions to be tested in forthcoming experiments at Jefferson Lab.

The QCD coupling, $\alpha_s$, is not a physical observable since it depends on conventions related to the renormalization procedure. Here we discuss a redefinition of the coupling where changes of scheme are parametrised by a single parameter $C$. The new coupling is denoted $\hat \alpha_s$ and its running is scheme independent. Moreover, scheme variations become completely analogous to renormalization scale variations. We discuss how the coupling $\hat \alpha_s$ can be used in order to optimize predictions for the inclusive hadronic decays of the tau lepton. Preliminary investigations of the $C$-scheme in the presence of higher-order terms of the perturbative series are discussed here for the first time.

We consider QCD factorization between hard and soft subprocesses in inclusive reactions where the momentum fraction x of one parton approaches unity as the hard scale Q^2 -> \infty, such that Q^2(1-x) is fixed. In this "BB limit" the entire (multi-parton) Fock state containing the high x parton is coherent with the hard subprocess. The soft contribution is given by a forward multiparton matrix element. The BB limit corresponds to a fixed (large or small) missing mass and is thus closely connected to exclusive production. We analyze the Drell-Yan process h + N -> \gamma^* + X in detail, explaining why the virtual photon is longitudinally polarized for h = \pi and transversely polarized for h = p. The BB limit may be relevant also for other phenomena observed at high x, such as the large single spin asymmetries of p p -> \Lambda^\uparrow X and in p p^\uparrow -> \pi X.

We review supersymmetric models where R-parity is broken either explicitly or spontaneously. The simplest unified extension of the MSSM with explicit bilinear R--Parity violation provides a predictive scheme for neutrino masses and mixings which can account for the observed atmospheric and solar neutrino anomalies. Despite the smallness of neutrino masses R-parity violation is observable at present and future high-energy colliders, providing an unambiguous cross-check of the model. This model can be shown to be an effective model for the, more theoretically satisfying, spontaneous broken theory. The main difference in this last case is the appearance of a massless particle, the majoron, that can modify the decay modes of the Higgs boson, making it decay invisibly most of the time.

We introduce the idea of natural mass matrices, an organizing principle useful in the search for GUT scale quark mass matrix patterns that are consistent with known CKM constraints and quark mass eigenvalues. An application of this idea is made in the context of SUSY GUTs and some potentially ``successful'' GUT scale mass patterns are found. The CKM predictions of these patterns are presented and some relevant strong CP issues are discussed.

Electromagnetic radiation from an uncharged spin 1/2 particle with an anomalous magnetic moment moving in the classical electromagnetic external field originates from quantum spin-flip transitions. Although this process has a purely quantum nature, it was observed for certain particular external field configurations that, when quantum recoil is neglected, the radiation power corresponds to the classical radiation from an evolving magnetic dipole. We argue that this correspondence has a more general validity in the case of an unpolarized particle and derive a general formula for radiation in terms of the external field strength and its derivatives. A classical dynamics of the spin is described by the Bargmann-Michel-Telegdi equation.

We review the potentialities offered by the study of backward exclusive processes in a new scaling regime, i.e. involving a large -timelike or spacelike- Q2 photon and a baryonic exchange in the t-channel. We recall the concept of Transition Distribution Amplitudes (TDAs) containing unique information on the hadron structure, then discuss how they enter the description of processes such as backward electroproduction of a pion, antiproton-proton annihilations into a dilepton + meson as well as into J/psi + meson. We then discuss first phenomenological studies for processes that are being analysed at JLAB and HERMES or that will be measured by Panda at GSI-FAIR. Finally we present outlooks for their theoretical studies based on approaches such as the pion-cloud model.

Heavy meson decays provide an important platform for studies of both QCD and electroweak dynamics, which may contain some portals to understanding of nonperturbative QCD and physics beyond the Standard Model. The factorization-assisted topological-amplitude approach was proposed to study two-body non-leptonic $D$ meson decays, where a promising QCD inspired approach from first principles is still missing. It was also applied to $B$ meson decays whose subleading power contributions are difficult to calculate. By factorizing topological amplitudes into short distance Wilson coefficients and long distance hadronic matrix elements either to be calculated or to be parameterized, it provides an effective framework to extract information of nonperturbative dynamics involved. With important flavor SU(3) breaking effects taken into account, the data of the decay branching ratios (and also CP asymmetries in $B$ decays) can be fitted well. The extracted amplitudes were further applied to make predictions for other observables, such as CP asymmetries in $D$ decays, mixing parameters in the $D^0-\bar{D}^0$ system, and so on. By this review, we will describe the formulation of the factorization-assisted topological-amplitude approach and summarize its applications in $D$ and $B$ meson decays and highlight some of its achievements.

We predict all the four Delta multipole form factors: the electric charge GE0, the magnetic dipole GM1, the electric quadrupole GE2 and the magnetic octupole GM3. We compare our predictions with other theoretical calculations. Our results are compatible with the available experimental data and recent lattice QCD data.

The curvature which characterizes the QCD phase transition at finite temperature and small values of the chemical potential is accessible to lattice simulations. The results for this quantity which have been obtained by several different lattice simulation methods differ due to different numbers of flavors, different pion masses and different sizes of the simulation volume. In order to reconcile these results, it is important to investigate finite-volume effects on the curvature. We investigate the curvature of the chiral phase transition line at finite temperature and chemical potential in a finite volume. We use a phenomenological model for chiral symmetry breaking and apply non-perturbative functional renormalization group methods which account for critical long-range fluctuations at the phase transition. We find an intermediate volume region in which the curvature of the phase transition line is actually reduced relative to its infinite-volume value, provided periodic spatial boundary conditions are chosen for the quark fields. Size and location of this region depend on the value of the pion mass. Such an effect could account for differences in the curvature between lattice simulations in differently sized volumes and from functional methods in the infinite volume limit. We discuss implications of our results for the QCD phase diagram.

The deep inelastic scattering 2+1 jet cross- section is a useful observable for precision tests of QCD, e.g. measuring the strong coupling constant alpha(s). A consistent analysis requires a good understanding of the theoretical uncertainties and one of the most fundamental ones in QCD is due to the renormalization scheme and scale ambiguity. Different methods, which have been proposed to resolve the scale ambiguity, are applied to the 2+1 jet cross-section and the uncertainty is estimated. It is shown that the uncertainty can be made smaller by choosing the jet definition in a suitable way.

We examine the phenomenology of a low-energy extension of the Standard Model, based on the gauge group SU(3) x SU(2) x U(1) x SO(3), with SO(3) operating in the shadow sector. This model offers $\nu_{e} \to \nu_{s}$ and $\nu_{\mu} \to \nu_{\tau}$ oscillations as the solution of the solar and atmospheric neutrino problems. Moreover, it provides a neutral heavy shadow lepton X that could play the role of a cold dark matter particle.

We examine the phenomenology of a low-energy extension of the Standard Model, based on the gauge group SU(3) x SU(2) x U(1) x SO(3), with SO(3) operating in the shadow sector. This model offers $\nu_{e} \to \nu_{s}$ and $\nu_{\mu} \to \nu_{\tau}$ oscillations as the solution of the solar and atmospheric neutrino problems. Moreover, it provides a neutral heavy shadow lepton X that could play the role of a cold dark matter particle.

The loss of particles due to highly inelastic reactions has previously been taken into account in effective field theories for low-energy particles by adding local anti-Hermitian terms to the effective Hamiltonian. An additional modification is required in the time evolution equation for the density matrix of a multi-particle system. An effective density matrix can be defined by tracing over states containing high-momentum particles produced by the highly inelastic reactions and by a time average that eliminates short-time correlations. The effective density matrix satisfies the Lindblad equation, with local Lindblad operators that are determined by the anti-Hermitian terms in the effective Hamiltonian.

We calculate the contributions of the neutral top-pion $\pi_{t}^0$ to the process $e^-\gamma\to e^-\bar{t}c$ in the framework of topcolor-assisted technicolor(TC2) models and discuss the possible of detecting $\pi_t^0$ at the high energy linear $e^+e^-$ collider(LC). Our results show that $\pi_t^0$ can give significant contributions to this process. With reasonable values of the parameters in TC2 models, the cross section $\sigma$ can reach 0.19 fb which may be detected at the $e\gamma$ collisions based on the future LC experiments.

We derive the renormalization group equations for a generic nonrenormalizable theory. We show that the equations allow one to derive the structure of the leading divergences at any loop order in terms of one-loop diagrams only. In chiral perturbation theory, e.g., this means that one can obtain the series of leading chiral logs by calculating only one loop diagrams. We discuss also the renormalization group equations for the subleading divergences, and the crucial role of counterterms that vanish at the equations of motion. Finally, we show that the renormalization group equations obtained here apply equally well also to renormalizable theories.

We study the dependence on photon virtuality $Q^2$ for the semihard quasi--elastic photoproduction of neutral vector mesons on a quark, gluon or real photon (at $s\gg p_{\bot}^2, Q^2; p_{\bot}^2 \gg \mu^2 \approx (0.3$ GeV)$^2$). To this end we calculate the corresponding amplitudes (in an analytical form) in the lowest nontrivial approximation of the perturbative QCD. The amplitudes for the production of mesons consisting of light quarks vary very rapidly with the photon virtuality near $Q^2=0$. We estimate the bound of the pQCD validity region for such processes. For the process with mass shell photon the obtained bound is very high, and this region seems beyond opportunities of real experiment. This bound decreases fast with the increase of $Q^2$, and we expect that the virtual photoproduction at HERA provides the opportunity to test the pQCD results. The signature of this region is discussed.

The divergent perturbative expansion of the free-energy density of thermal SU(3) gauge theory is resummed into a rapidly convergent series using a novel, variational, implementation of the method of conformal mapping of the corresponding Borel series. The resummed result differs significantly from non-perturbative lattice simulations and the discrepancy is attributed to the presence of a pole on the positive axis of the Borel plane. The position of that pole is determined numerically and the difference between the lattice data and the resummed series is related to a phenomenological bag `constant'.

To embed the seesaw mechanism in the MSSM, two or three right-handed neutrino supermultiplets, $N_i$, have to be added to the model. In this framework, the supersymmetry breaking potential will include a new term called neutrino $B$-term: $MB_\nu \tilde{N} \tilde{N}/2$. In this talk, we present a toy model that generates a large neutrino $B$-term keeping other supersymmetry breaking parameters small. We then review the consequences of having a large neutrino $B$-term on the electroweak symmetry breaking parameters and electric dipole moments (EDMs) of elementary particles.

We show necessary conditions to avoid the potential minima which can be deeper than the realistic vacuum. These conditions would constrain more strongly than conditions in the MSSM without taking into account neutrino mass operators, and can improve the predictive power of supersymmetric models with neutrino mass operators.

Jet quenching has been established as one of the main tools to study the properties of the medium produced in heavy ion collisions. Most of the experimental effort has been, up to now, on the measurements of inclusive particle suppression. This observable suffers, however, of limitations due to different trigger-bias effects. The study of jets (or particle correlations) in a medium is the most promising way out for a better characterization of the medium properties. I will present how these more differential measurements can be used to study not only the density of the medium (the traditional parameter fixed by jet quenching measurements) but also more dynamical quantities as flow fields.

In view of the recent interest in the decays of mesons into a pair of light leptons, a computation of the QED radiative corrections to the decay of $\pi^{0}$ into an electron-positron pair is presented here. The results indicate that the peak value of the differential decay rate is reduced by about $50 \%$, because of soft-photon radiation. The number of $e^{+}e^{-}$ pairs having invariant masses in an energy bin of 0.5 MeV centered around $m_{\pi}$ is found to be about $20 \%$ smaller than the one it would be if radiative corrections were neglected.

We consider the shear viscosity of a system of quarks and its ratio to the entropy density above the critical temperature for deconfinement. Both quantities are derived and computed for different modeling of the quark self-energy, also allowing for a temperature dependence of the effective mass and width.

We consider the shear viscosity of a system of quarks and its ratio to the entropy density above the critical temperature for deconfinement. Both quantities are derived and computed for different modeling of the quark self-energy, also allowing for a temperature dependence of the effective mass and width. The behaviour of the viscosity and the entropy density is argued in terms of the strength of the coupling and of the main characteristics of the quark self-energy. A comparison with existing results is also discussed.

The Cosmological Constant Problem is re-examined from an effective field theory perspective. While the connection between gravity and particle physics has not been experimentally probed in the quantum regime, it is severely constrained by the successes of Standard Model quantum field theory at short distances, and classical General Relativity at large distances. At first sight, it appears that combining particle physics and gravity inevitably leads to an effective field theory below the weak scale which suffers from large radiative corrections to the cosmological constant. Consequently, this parameter must be very finely tuned to lie within the experimental bounds. An analog of just this type of predicament, and its resolution, are described in some detail using only familiar quantum field theory. The loop-hole abstracted from the analogy is the possibility of graviton ``compositeness'' at a scale less than $10^{-2}$ eV, which cuts off the large contributions to the cosmological constant from standard model physics. Experimentally, this would show up as a dramatic breakdown of Newton's Law in upcoming sub-centimeter tests of gravity. Currently, strings are the only known example of such compositeness. It is proposed that the gravitational sector comprises strings of very low tension, which couple to a stringy ``halo'' surrounding each point-like standard model particle.

We review what is currently known about the transverse spin structure of hadrons, in particular from observables that can be analyzed within a collinear framework. These effects have been around for 40 years and represent a critical test of perturbative QCD. We look at both proton-proton and lepton-nucleon collisions for various final states. While the main focus is on transverse single-spin asymmetries, we also discuss how longitudinal-transverse double-spin asymmetries offer a complimentary, yet equally important, source of information on the quark-gluon content of hadrons. We also summarize some recent progress in solidifying the theoretical formalism behind these observables and give an outlook on future directions of research.

The axion is a hypothesized particle appearing in various theories beyond the Standard Model. It is a light spin-0 boson initially postulated to solve the strong CP problem and is also a strong candidate for dark matter. If the axion or an axion-like particle exists, it would mediate a P-odd and T-odd spin-dependent interaction. We describe two experiments under development at Indiana University-Bloomington to search for such an interaction.

In theories with extra dimensions there are generically brane kinetic terms for fields living in the bulk. These modify the masses and wave functions of the Kaluza-Klein expansions, and then the effective four dimensional gauge and Yukawa couplings of the corresponding modes. Here, we discuss some phenomenological consequences of fermion brane kinetic terms, emphasizing their implications for models with low compactification scales, whose agreement with experiment can be improved, and observable effects at collider energies, like the production of new fermions.

Orbitally excited heavy-light mesons are potentially important as tools for tagging the flavors and momenta of ground-state pseudoscalars detected through weak decays. We use heavy-quark symmetry supplemented by insights gleaned from potential models to estimate masses and widths of $p$-wave $B$, $B_s$, and $D_s$ mesons. We generalize these results to higher excitations.

A two Higgs doublet model (2HDM) is one of the minimal extensions of the Standard Model (SM), and it is well-known that the general setup predicts the flavor-violating phenomena, mediated by neutral Higgs interactions. Recently the CMS collaboration has reported an excess of the lepton-flavor-violating Higgs decay in $h \rightarrow \mu \tau$ channel with a significance of 2.5 $ \sigma$. We investigate the CMS excess in a general 2HDM with tree-level Flavor Changing Neutral Currents (FCNCs), and discuss its impact on the other physical observations. Especially, we see that the FCNCs relevant to the excess can enhance the neutral Higgs contributions to the muon anomalous magnetic moment, and can resolve the discrepancy between the measured value and the SM prediction. We also find that the couplings to be consistent with the muon g-2 anomaly as well as the CMS excess in $h\rightarrow \mu\tau$ predict the sizable rate of $ \tau \rightarrow \mu \gamma$, which is within the reach of future B factory.

We present two different models with electroweak scale right-handed neutrinos. One of the models is created under the constraint that any addition to the Standard Model must not introduce new higher scales. The model contains right-handed neutrinos with electroweak scale masses and a lepton number violating singlet scalar field. The scalar phenomenology is also presented. The second model is a triplet Higgs model where again the right-handed neutrinos have electroweak scale masses. In this case the model has a rich scalar phenomenology and in particular we present the analysis involving the doubly charged Higgs.

Triple gauge boson production at the LHC can be used to test the robustness of the Standard Model and provide useful information for VBF di-boson scattering measurement. Especially, any derivations from SM prediction will indicate possible new physics. In this paper we present a detailed Monte Carlo study on measuring WWW production in pure leptonic and semileptonic decays, and probing anomalous quartic gauge WWWW couplings at the CERN LHC and future hadron collider, with parton shower and detector simulation effects taken into account. Apart from cut-based method, multivariate boosted decision tree method has been exploited for possible improvement. For the leptonic decay channel, our results show that at the sqrt{s}=8(14)[100] TeV pp collider with integrated luminosity of 20(100)[3000] fb-1, one can reach a significance of 0.4(1.2)[10]sigma to observe the SM WWW production. For the semileptonic decay channel, one can have 0.5(2)[14]sigma to observe the SM WWW production. We also give constraints on relevant Dim-8 anomalous WWWW coupling parameters.

We study nuclear mu-e conversion in the general framework of an effective Lagrangian approach without referring to any specific realization of the physics beyond the standard model (SM) responsible for lepton flavor violation (LFV). We examine the impact of a specific hadronization prescription on the analysis of new physics in nuclear mu-e conversion and stress the importance of vector meson exchange between lepton and nucleon currents. A new issue of this mechanism is the presence of the strange quark vector current contribution induced by the phi meson. This allows us to extract new limits on the LFV lepton-quark effective couplings from the existing experimental data.

The small field inflation (SFI) of Coleman-Weinberg (CW) type suffers from precise tuning of the initial inflaton field value to be away from the true vacuum one. We propose a dynamical trapping mechanism to solve this problem: an ultra-supercooling caused by an almost scale-invariant CW potential traps the inflaton at the false vacuum, far away from the true vacuum dominantly created by the quantum scale anomaly, and allows the inflaton to dynamically start the slow-roll down due to a classical explicit-scale breaking effect. To be concrete, we employ a successful CW-SFI model and show that the proposed mechanism works consistently with the observed bounds on the inflation parameters. The proposed new mechanism thus provides new insights for developing small field inflation models.

The Higgs boson and the gauge bosons are taken to be massless in this limit.

The couplings of the Higgs boson ($H$) with massive gauge bosons of weak interaction ($V= W, Z$), can be probed in single Higgs boson production at the proposed future Large Hadron-Electron Collider (LHeC). In the collision of an electron with a proton, single Higgs production takes place via so-called charged-current ($e^-p \to \nu_e H j$) and neutral-current ($e^-p \to e^-H j$) processes. We explore the potential of the azimuthal angle correlation between the forward jet and scattered neutrino or electron in probing the non-standard $HVV$ couplings at the collider center-of-mass energy of $\sqrt{s} \approx 1.3$~TeV. We choose the most general modifications (of $CP$-even and $CP$-odd nature) to these couplings due to new physics effects beyond the standard model. We derive exclusion limits on new physics parameters of $HVV$ couplings as a function of integrated luminosity at $95\%$ C.L. using the azimuthal angular correlations in charged- and neutral-current processes. We find that using 1000 $fb^{-1}$ data, the standard model-like new physics parameters in $HWW$ and $HZZ$ couplings can be constrained with accuracies of $4\%$ and $15\%$, respectively. The least constrained $CP$-even parameters of $HWW$ coupling can be as large as 0.04, while those of $HZZ$ coupling can have values around 0.31. Allowed values of $CP$-odd parameters in $HWW$ and $HZZ$ couplings are found to be around 0.14 and 0.34, respectively. We also study changes in the allowed values of non-trivial new physics parameters in the presence of other parameters.

We choose the most general modifications (of $CP$-even and $CP$-odd nature) to these couplings due to new physics effects beyond the standard model. We derive exclusion limits on new physics parameters of $HVV$ couplings as a function of integrated luminosity at $95\%$ C.L. using the azimuthal angular correlations in charged- and neutral-current processes. We find that using 1000 $fb^{-1}$ data, the standard model-like new physics parameters in $HWW$ and $HZZ$ couplings can be constrained with accuracies of $4\%$ and $15\%$, respectively. The least constrained $CP$-even parameters of $HWW$ coupling can be as large as 0.04, while those of $HZZ$ coupling can have values around 0.31. Allowed values of $CP$-odd parameters in $HWW$ and $HZZ$ couplings are found to be around 0.14 and 0.34, respectively. We also study changes in the allowed values of non-trivial new physics parameters in the presence of other parameters.

The inclusive radiative decay of the B meson is known to provide strong constraints on many popular extensions of the Standard Model. Such constraints crucially depend on precision of the Standard Model predictions. One of the main contributions to the theoretical uncertainty is due to certain Next-to-Next-to-Leading Order QCD corrections whose values at the physical charm quark mass m_c have been estimated using interpolation between the m_c=0 and m_c >> m_b limits. A direct determination of such corrections at the physical value of m_c requires calculating hundreds of two-scale four-loop propagator diagrams with unitarity cuts. Applying the integration-by-parts method, we express the corrections in terms of master integrals. Asymptotic expansions of these integrals at m_c >> m_b serve as boundary conditions for differential equations in z=m_c^2/m_b^2 that are being numerically solved. Here, we present our final results for the diagrams involving massless and massive fermion loops on the gluon lines. For the two-body cuts, we confirm the analytical expressions and/or numerical fits that are already present in the literature. In the four-body case, we make the correction complete by including several diagrams that have previously been only estimated using interpolation in m_c. We also report the status of the ongoing calculation of the remaining diagrams where no closed fermion loops on the gluon lines are present.

We study the four body decay $\Lambda_b \rightarrow \Lambda ( \rightarrow p \pi^-) \mu^{+} \mu^{-}$ in the Randall-Sundrum model with custodial protection $(\text{RS}_c)$. By considering the constraints coming from the direct searches of the lightest Kaluza-Klein (KK) excitation of the gluon, electroweak precision tests, the measurements of the Higgs signal strengths at the LHC and from $\Delta F=2$ flavor observables, we perform a scan of the parameter space of the $\text{RS}_c$ model and obtain the maximum allowed deviations of the Wilson coefficients $\Delta C^{(\prime)}_{7,\; 9,\; 10}$ for different values of the lightest KK gluon mass $M_{g^{(1)}}$. Later, their implications on the observables such as differential branching fraction, longitudinal polarization of the daughter baryon $\Lambda$, forward-backward asymmetry with respect to leptonic, hadronic and combined lepton-hadron angles are discussed where we present the analysis of these observables in different bins of di-muon invariant mass squared $s\;(= q^2)$. It is observed that with the current constraints the Wilson coefficients in $\text{RS}_c$ model show slight deviations from their Standard Model values and hence can not accommodate the discrepancies between the Standard Model calculations of various observables and the LHCb measurements in $\Lambda_b$ decays.

There are two formulations at non-zero chemical potential; one is the formulation that a Lagrangian includes a chemical potential, the other is the formulation that a Lagrangian does not include a chemical potential. The existence of two formulations makes a calculation complicated. The results from those formulations are not corresponding directly. This discrepancy exists in the imaginary time formalism and the real time formalism. However, since this is essentially caused by a difference of a frequency, the discrepancy vanishes by modifying the Fourier transform. We show a calculational procedure with a spectral function to understand this.

Supersymmetric phenomenology has been largely bound to the hypothesis that supersymmetry breaking originates from a single source. In this paper, we relax this underlying assumption and consider a multiplicity of sectors which independently break supersymmetry, thus yielding a corresponding multiplicity of goldstini. While one linear combination of goldstini is eaten via the super-Higgs mechanism, the orthogonal combinations remain in the spectrum as physical degrees of freedom. Interestingly, supergravity effects induce a universal tree-level mass for the goldstini which is exactly twice the gravitino mass. Since visible sector fields can couple dominantly to the goldstini rather than the gravitino, this framework allows for substantial departures from conventional supersymmetric phenomenology. In fact, this even occurs when a conventional mediation scheme is augmented by additional supersymmetry breaking sectors which are fully sequestered. We discuss a number of striking collider signatures, including various novel decay modes for the lightest observable-sector supersymmetric particle, gravitinoless gauge-mediated spectra, and events with multiple displaced vertices. We also describe goldstini cosmology and the possibility of goldstini dark matter.

The smallness and hierarchy in fermion parameters could be the result of selection rules due to an Abelian horizontal symmetry broken by a small parameter. When applied to the lepton sector, then for a large class of models, a number of interesting order of magnitude relations arise: with $i<j$, $m(\nu_i)/m(\nu_j)\sim\sin^2\theta_{ij}$; $m(\ell^-_i)/m(\ell^-_j)\lsim\sin\theta_{ij}$; $m(\nu_i)/m(\nu_j)\gsim m^2(\ell^-_i)/m^2(\ell^-_j)$; $m(\nu_e)\lsim m(\nu_\mu)\lsim m(\nu_\tau)$. The relations between neutrino masses and mixings may become exact if the horizontal symmetry together with holomorphy induce certain zero entries in the lepton mass matrices. A full high energy theory is likely to include scalars with flavor changing couplings and heavy leptons in vector representations; however, the masses of these particles are too heavy to be directly observed in experiment. Indirect evidence for the horizontal symmetry may arise from other sectors of the theory: non-degenerate sleptons are allowed as the symmetry aligns lepton and slepton mass matrices; light leptoquarks are allowed as the symmetry can make their couplings diagonal and chiral.

We consider the case that $\mu$-$e$ conversion signal is discovered but other charged lepton flavor violating (cLFV) processes will never be found. In such a case, we need other approaches to confirm the $\mu$-$e$ conversion and its underlying physics without conventional cLFV searches. We study R-parity violating (RPV) SUSY models as a benchmark. We briefly review that our interesting case is realized in RPV SUSY models with reasonable settings according to current theoretical/experimental status. We focus on the exotic collider signatures at the LHC ($pp \to \mu^- e^+$ and $pp \to jj$) as the other approaches. We show the correlations between the branching ratio of $\mu$-$e$ conversion process and cross sections of these processes. It is first time that the correlations are graphically shown. We exhibit the RPV parameter dependence of the branching ratio and the cross sections, and discuss the feasibility to determine the parameters.

Ridge-like correlations in high-energy proton-proton collisions reported by the CMS collaboration suggest a collective flow that resembles the one in heavy-ion collisions. If the hydrodynamic description is valid then the effect results from the initial anisotropy of the colliding matter which depends on the structure of protons. Following recent theoretical developments, we propose several phenomenological models of the proton structure and calculate the anisotropy coefficients using the Monte Carlo Glauber model. Our estimates suggest that the event multiplicity dependence allows one to discriminate between different proton models.

Observation of top quark flavor changing neutral process $t\to c +\gamma$ at the LHC would be the signal of physics beyond the Standard Model. If anomalous $t\to c\gamma$ coupling exists, it will affect the precisely measured $\mathcal{B}(\bar{B} \to X_s \gamma)$. In this paper, we study the effects of a dimension 5 anomalous $ tc \gamma$ operator in $\bar{B} \to X_s \gamma$ decay to derive constraints on its possible strength. It is found that, for real anomalous $t\to c\gamma$ coupling $\kappa_{\rm{tcR}}^\gamma$, the constraints correspond to the upper bounds $\mathcal B (t \to c + \gamma)<6.54 \times 10^{-5}$ (for $\kappa_{\rm{tcR}}^\gamma>0$) and $\mathcal B (t \to c + \gamma)<8.52 \times 10^{-5}$ (for $\kappa_{\rm{tcR}}^\gamma<0$), respectively, which are about the same order as the $5\sigma$ discovery potential of ATLAS ($9.4\times 10^{-5}$) and slightly lower than that of CMS ($4.1\times 10^{-4}$) with $10 \ \rm{fb}^{-1}$ integrated luminosity operating at $\sqrt{s} =14$ TeV.

We propose a mechanism to generate hierarchy between masses of the top and bottom quarks without fine tuning of the Yukawa coupling constants in the context of the two Higgs doublet model (THDM). In the THDM with a discrete symmetry, there exists the vacuum where only the top quark receives the mass of the order of the electroweak symmetry breaking scale $v(\simeq 246 GeV)$, while the bottom quark remains massless. By introducing a small soft-breaking parameter $m_3^2$ of the discrete symmetry, the bottom quark perturbatively acquires a nonzero mass. We show a model in which the small $m_3^2 [\sim v^2/(4\pi)^2]$ is generated by the dynamics above the cutoff scale of the THDM. The ratio $\tan\beta$ of the two vacuum expectation values is necessarily very large; i.e., $\tan \beta \sim m_t/m_b$. We also find a salient relation, $1/\tan\beta \simeq m_3^2/m_H^2$, where $m_H$ is the mass of the extra CP-even Higgs boson. Our scenario yields some specific features that can be tested in future collider experiments.

A sizable rate of events, with several pairs of heavy-quarks produced contemporarily by multiple parton interactions, may be expected at very high energies as a consequence of the large parton luminosities. The production rates are enhanced in hadron-nucleus reactions, which may represent a convenient tool to study the phenomenon. We compare the different contributions to ccbar bbar pairs production due to single and double parton scatterings, in collisions of protons with nuclei at the CERN-LHC.

In the present study we analyse, within the scalar sector of the Standard-Model Extension (SME) framework, the influence of a spontaneous Lorentz symmetry breaking on gravitational quantum states of ultracold neutrons. The model is framed according to the laboratory conditions of the recent high-sensitivity GRANIT and $q$Bounce experiments. The high-precision data achieved in such experiments allow us to set bounds on the symmetry breaking parameters of the model. The effective Hamiltonian governing the neutron's motion along the axis of free fall is derived explicitly. It describes a particle in a gravitational field with an effective gravitational constant controlled non-trivially by the Lorentz-violating parameters. In particular, using the exact wave functions and the energy spectrum, we evaluate both the heights associated with the quantum states and the transition frequencies between neighborhoring quantum states. By comparing our theoretical results with those reported in the GRANIT and the $q$Bounce experiments, upper bounds on the Lorentz-violating parameters are determined. We also consider for the first time the gravity-induced interference pattern in a COW-type experiment to test Lorenz-invariance. In this case, an upper bound for the parameters is established as well.

The axion is much lighter than all other degrees of freedom introduced by the Peccei-Quinn mechanism to solve the strong CP problem. It is therefore natural to use an effective field theory (EFT) to describe its interactions. Loop processes calculated in the EFT may, however, explicitly depend on the ultraviolet cutoff. In general the UV cutoff is not uniquely defined, but the dimensionful couplings suggest to identify it with the Peccei-Quinn symmetry-breaking scale. An example are $K \rightarrow \pi + a$ decays that will soon be tested to improved precision in NA62 and KOTO and whose amplitude is dominated by the term logarithmically dependent on the cutoff. In this paper, we critically examine the adequacy of using such a naive EFT approach to study loop processes by comparing EFT calculations with ones performed in complete QCD axion models. In DFSZ models, for example, the cutoff is found to be set by additional Higgs degrees of freedom and to therefore be much closer to the electroweak scale than to the Peccei-Quinn scale. In fact, there are non-trivial requirements on axion models where the cutoff scale of loop processes is close to the Peccei-Quinn scale, such that the naive EFT result is reproduced. This suggests that the existence of a suitable UV embedding may impose restrictions on axion EFTs. We provide an explicit construction of a model with suitable fermion couplings and find promising prospects for NA62 and IAXO.

We consider Flavour Changing Neutral Current processes in the framework of the supersymmetric extension of the Standard Model. FCNC constraints on the structure of sfermion mass matrices are reviewed. Furthermore, we analyze supersymmetric contributions to FCNC transitions which remain in the limit of flavour-conserving sfermion mass matrices. Implications of the FCNC constraints on the structure of sfermion mass matrices for SUSY breaking and sfermion mass generation are discussed. We conclude that the supersymmetric flavour problem is intriguing but perhaps not as severe as it is commonly believed.

We develop a simple model for the evolution of a nucleon spin in a hot and dense nuclear medium. A given nucleon is limited to one-dimensional motion in a distribution of external, spin-dependent scattering potentials. We calculate the nucleon spin autocorrelation function numerically for a variety of potential densities and distributions which are meant to bracket realistic conditions in a supernova core. For all plausible configurations the width of the spin-density structure function is found to be less than the temperature. This is in contrast with a naive perturbative calculation based on the one-pion exchange potential which overestimates the width and thus suggests a large suppression of the neutrino opacities by nucleon spin fluctuations. Our results suggest that it may be justified to neglect the collisional broadening of the spin-density structure function for the purpose of estimating the neutrino opacities in the deep inner core of a supernova. On the other hand, we find no indication that processes such as axion or neutrino pair emission, which depend on nucleon spin fluctuations, are substantially suppressed beyond the multiple-scattering effect already discussed in the literature. Aside from these practical conclusions, our model reveals a number of interesting and unexpected insights. For example, the spin-relaxation rate saturates with increasing potential strength only if bound states are not allowed to form by including a repulsive core. There is no saturation with increasing density of scattering potentials until localized eigenstates of energy begin to form.

The measurement of the charge asymmetry $A_{FB}(e^-e^+\to \mu^-\mu^+)$ will play an important role at the high-luminosity circular electron-positron collider FCCee considered for construction at CERN. In particular, near the Z resonance, $\sqrt{s} \simeq M_Z \pm 3.5$ GeV, $A_{FB}$ will provide a very precise value of the pure electromagnetic coupling constant $\alpha_{QED}(M_Z)$, which is vitally important for overall tests of the Standard Model. For this purpose, $A_{FB}$ will be measured at the FCCee with an experimental error better than $\delta A_{FB} \simeq 3\cdot 10^{-5},$ at least a factor 100 more precisely than at past LEP experiments! The important question is whether the effect of interference between photon emission in the initial and final state can be removed from the $A_{FB}$ data at the same precision level using perturbative QED calculations. A first quantitative study of this problem is presented here, with the help of the KKMC program and a newly developed calculation based on soft photon resummation, matched with NLO and NNLO fixed-order calculations. It is concluded that a factor of 10 improvement with respect to the LEP era is obtained. We also present a clear indication that reducing the uncertainty of charge asymmetry near the Z peak due to IFI down to $\delta A_{FB} \simeq 3\cdot 10^{-5}$, i.e. the expected experimental precision at FCCee, is feasible.

Different types of CP and CPT violations in the K^0-, B^0-, B_s^0- and D^0-systems are explicitly defined. Their importance for interpreting experimental measurements of CP and CPT violations is emphasized. In particular, we show that the time-dependent measurements allow one to extract a clean signature of CPT violation.

This talk summarizes the recent developments in the evaluation of the leading order hadronic contributions to the running of the QED fine structure constant $\alpha(s)$, at $s=M_{\rm Z}^2$, and to the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon $(g-2)_\mu$. The accuracy of the theoretical prediction of these observables is limited by the uncertainties on the hadronic contributions. Significant improvement has been achieved in a series of new analyses which is presented historically in three steps: (I), use of $\tau$ spectral functions in addition to $e^+e^-$ cross sections, (II), extended use of perturbative QCD and (III), application of QCD sum rule techniques. The most precise values obtained are: $\Delta\alpha_{\rm had}(M_{\rm Z}^2)$, $=(276.3\pm1.6)\times10^{-4}$, yielding $\alpha^{-1}(M_{\rm Z}^2)=128.933\pm0.021$, and $a_\mu^{\rm had}=(692.4\pm6.2)\times 10^{-10}$ with which one finds for the complete Standard Model prediction $a_\mu^{\rm SM}=(11 659 159.6\pm6.7)\times10^{-10}$.

Functional renormalization group (FRG) is an exact method for taking into account the effect of quantum fluctuations in the effective action of the system. The FRG method applied to effective theories of nuclear matter yields equation of state which incorporates quantum fluctuations of the fields. Using the local potential approximation (LPA) the equation of state for Walecka-type models of nuclear matter under extreme conditions could be determined. These models can be tested by solving the corresponding Tolman--Oppenheimer--Volkov (TOV) equations and investigating the properties (mass and radius) of the corresponding compact star models. Here, we present the first steps on this way, we obtained a Maxwell construction within the FRG-based framework using a Walecka-type Lagrangian.

We calculate the one-loop corrections to a general off-forward deeply-virtual Compton process at leading twist for both parton helicity-dependent and independent cases. We show that the infrared divergences can be factorized entirely into off-forward parton distributions, even when one of the two photons is onshell. We argue that this property persists to all orders in perturbation theory. We obtain the next-to-leading order Wilson coefficients for the general leading-twist expansion of the product of two electromagnetic currents in the \overline{\rm MS} scheme.

Using deep convolutional neural network (CNN), the nature of the QCD transition can be identified from the final-state pion spectra from hybrid model simulations of heavy-ion collisions that combines a viscous hydrodynamic model with a hadronic cascade "after-burner". Two different types of equations of state (EoS) of the medium are used in the hydrodynamic evolution. The resulting spectra in transverse momentum and azimuthal angle are used as the input data to train the neural network to distinguish different EoS. Different scenarios for the input data are studied and compared in a systematic way. A clear hierarchy is observed in the prediction accuracy when using the event-by-event, cascade-coarse-grained and event-fine-averaged spectra as input for the network, which are about 80%, 90% and 99%, respectively.

Using deep convolutional neural network (CNN), the nature of the QCD transition can be identified from the final-state pion spectra from hybrid model simulations of heavy-ion collisions that combines a viscous hydrodynamic model with a hadronic cascade "after-burner". Two different types of equations of state (EoS) of the medium are used in the hydrodynamic evolution. The resulting spectra in transverse momentum and azimuthal angle are used as the input data to train the neural network to distinguish different EoS. Different scenarios for the input data are studied and compared in a systematic way. A clear hierarchy is observed in the prediction accuracy when using the event-by-event, cascade-coarse-grained and event-fine-averaged spectra as input for the network, which are about 80%, 90% and 99%, respectively. A comparison with the prediction performance by deep neural network (DNN) with only the normalized pion transverse momentum spectra is also made. High-level features of pion spectra captured by a carefully-trained neural network were found to be able to distinguish the nature of the QCD transition even in a simulation scenario which is close to the experiments.

In a large region of parameter space, the tree-level hybrid inflation model is likely to be be invalidated by loop corrections. In particular, this is likely to be the case if both quartic couplings are of order unity, as is often supposed. It is likely also to be the case if there is an ultra-violet cutoff far below the Planck scale, ($\luv\lsim 10^9\GeV(V_0^{1/4}/1\MeV)^{2/5}$, where $V_0$ is the height of the potential) unless one allows field values bigger than the cutoff.

We explore an intriguing possibility to test the type-II seesaw mechanism of neutrino mass generation at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). We show that the lepton-number-violating signatures of heavy Majorana neutrinos N_i (for i=1, 2, 3) and doubly-charged Higgs bosons H^++(H^--) can be closely correlated with each other in a class of TeV-scale type-II seesaw models. Taking the minimal version of such models for example, we calculate the cross sections of pp -> l^+_\alpha l^+_\beta X (l^-_\alpha l^-_\beta X) processes mediated separately by N_1 and H^++(H^--), and illustrate their nontrivial correlation at the LHC.

A thermodynamic T-matrix approach for elastic 2-body interactions is employed to calculate spectral functions of open and hidden heavy-quark systems in the Quark-Gluon Plasma. This enables the evaluation of quarkonium bound-state properties and heavy-quark diffusion on a common basis and thus to obtain mutual constraints. The two-body interaction kernel is approximated within a potential picture for spacelike momentum transfers. An effective field-theoretical model combining color-Coulomb and confining terms is implemented with relativistic corrections and for different color channels. Four pertinent model parameters, characterizing the coupling strengths and screening, are adjusted to reproduce the color-average heavy-quark free energy as computed in thermal lattice QCD. The approach is tested against vacuum spectroscopy in the open (D, B) and hidden (Psi and Upsilon) flavor sectors, as well as in the high-energy limit of elastic perturbative QCD scattering. Theoretical uncertainties in the static reduction scheme of the 4-dimensional Bethe-Salpeter equation are elucidated. The quarkonium spectral functions are used to calculate Euclidean correlators which are discussed in light of lattice QCD results, while heavy-quark relaxation rates and diffusion coefficients are extracted utilizing a Fokker-Planck equation.

We consider the hard leptoproduction of a photon off nuclei up to spin-1. As a new result we present here the general azimuthal angular dependence of the differential cross section for a spin-1 target. Its twist-two Fourier coefficients of the interference and squared deeply virtual Compton scattering amplitude are evaluated in leading order approximation of perturbation theory in terms of generalized parton distributions, while the pure Bethe--Heitler cross section is exactly calculated in terms of electromagnetic form factors. Relying on a simple model for the nucleon generalized parton distribution $H$, which describes the existing DVCS data for a proton target, we estimate the size of unpolarized cross sections, beam and longitudinal target spin as well as unpolarized charge asymmetries for present fixed target experiments with nuclei. These estimates are confronted with preliminary HERMES data for deuterium and neon.

Loop calculations involve the evaluation of divergent integrals. Usually [1] one computes them in a number of dimensions different than four where the integral is convergent and then one performs the analytical continuation and considers the Laurent expansion in powers of epsilon =n-4. In this paper we discuss a method to extract directly all coefficients of this expansion by means of concrete and well defined integrals in a five dimensional space. We by-pass the formal and symbolic procedure of analytic continuation; instead we can numerically compute the integrals to extract directly both the coefficient of the pole 1/epsilon and the finite part.

Due to the reducibility of tetraquark operators into mesonic clusters, a strong interplay exists in tetraquarks between compact and molecular structures. This issue is studied within an effective field theory approach, where the compact tetraquark is treated as an elementary particle. Under the influence of the coupling to the mesonic clusters, an initially formed compact tetraquark bound state is deformed towards a new structure of the molecular type, having the attributes of a shallow bound state.

We derive the corresponding cross section formula in the leading order with respect to the QCD coupling constant. We also present a numerical calculation of the asymmetry at the RHIC energy, using a model for the three-gluon correlation functions suggested by the asymmetry observed in the $D$-meson production at RHIC.

The tensor-to-scalar ratio (r = 0.20^{+0.07}_{-0.05}) inferred from the excess B-mode power observed by the Background Imaging of Cosmic Extragalactic Polarization (BICEP2) experiment is almost twice as large as the 95% CL upper limits derived from temperature measurements of the WMAP (r<0.13) and Planck (r<0.11) space missions. Very recently, it was suggested that additional relativistic degrees of freedom beyond the three active neutrinos and photons can help to relieve this tension: the data favor an effective number of light neutrino species N_{eff} = 3.86 \pm 0.25. Since the BICEP2 ratio implies the energy scale of inflation (V_*^{1/4} \sim 2 \times 10^{16} GeV) is comparable to the grand unification scale, in this paper we investigate whether we can accommodate the required N_{eff} with three right-handed (partners of the left-handed standard model) neutrinos living in the fundamental representation of a grand unified exceptional E_6 group. We show that the superweak interactions of these Dirac states (through their coupling to a TeV-scale Z' gauge boson) lead to decoupling of right-handed neutrino just above the QCD cross over transition: 175 MeV < T_{\nu_R}^{dec} < 250 MeV. For decoupling in this transition region, the contribution of the three right-handed neutrinos to N_{eff} is suppressed by heating of the left-handed neutrinos (and photons). Consistency (within 1\sigma) with the favored N_{eff} is achieved for 4.5 TeV < M_{Z'} < 7.5 TeV. The model is fully predictive and can be confronted with future data from LHC14.

The doubly charged scalar boson (H^{\pm\pm}) is introduced in several models of the new physics beyond the standard model. The H^{\pm\pm} has Yukawa interactions with two left-handed charged leptons or two right-handed charged leptons depending on the models. We study kinematical properties of H^{\pm\pm} decay products through tau leptons in order to discriminate the chiral structures of the new Yukawa interaction. The chirality of tau leptons can be measured by the energy distributions of the tau decay products, and thus the chiral structure of the new Yukawa interaction can be traced in the invariant-mass distributions of the H^{\pm\pm} decay products. We perform simulation studies for the typical decay patterns of the H^{\pm\pm} with simple event selections and tau-tagging procedures, and show that the chiral structure of the Yukawa interactions of H^{\pm\pm} can be distinguished by measuring the invariant-mass distributions.

We investigate the phenomenology of the gravitino dark matter scenario with a stau as the next-to-lightest supersymmetric particle at the LHC. For a wide range of gravitino masses the lighter stau is stable on the scale of a detector and gives rise to a prominent signature as a "slow muon". The direct stau production via the Drell-Yan process is always present and independent of the mass spectrum of the other superparticles, thus providing a lower bound for the discovery potential of this scenario. Performing a careful analysis with particular emphasis on the criteria for observing stau pairs and for distinguishing them from the background, we find that the 14 TeV run of the LHC has a promising potential for finding long-lived staus from Drell-Yan production up to very large stau masses.

We find a correspondence between semiclassical QCD quantized on the light-front and a dual gravity model in anti--de Sitter (AdS) space, thus providing an initial approximation to QCD in its strongly coupled regime. This correspondence -- light-front holography -- leads to a light-front Hamiltonian and relativistic bound-state wave equations that are functions of an invariant impact variable $\zeta$ which measures the separation of the quark and gluonic constituents within hadrons at equal light-front time. The eigenvalues of the resulting light-front Schr\"odinger and Dirac equations are consistent with the observed light meson and baryon spectrum, and the eigenmodes provide the light-front wavefunctions, the probability amplitudes describing the dynamics of the hadronic constituents. The light-front equations of motion, which are dual to an effective classical gravity theory, possess remarkable algebraic and integrability properties which are dictated by the underlying conformal properties of the theory. We extend the algebraic construction to include a confining potential while preserving the integrability of the mesonic and baryonic bound-state equations.

Common to many classes of three family SU(3)_C x SU(2)_L x U(1)_Y string models are an additional anomalous U(1)_A and numerous, often fractionally charged, exotic particles beyond the minimal supersymmetric standard model (MSSM). I present one string model with both of these properties. Using this model as an example, I show how sometimes (near) string scale vacuum expectation values that are both D- and F-flat (to all orders in the superpotential) can simultaneously break the anomalous U(1)_A and give heavy mass to all phenomenologically dangerous exotic states, decoupling them from the low energy spectrum. For this model, some anomaly cancelling directions actually decouple all MSSM exotics, producing the MSSM as the effective field theory just below the string scale. This model realizes Witten's conjecture of possible equivalence between the string scale M_S and the MSSM unification scale M_MSSM. Talk presented at CPT '98, Bloomington, Indiana, 6--8 November 1998

Common to many classes of three family SU(3)_C x SU(2)_L x U(1)_Y string models are an additional anomalous U(1)_A and numerous, often fractionally charged, exotic particles beyond the minimal supersymmetric standard model (MSSM). I present one string model with both of these properties. Using this model as an example, I show how sometimes (near) string scale vacuum expectation values that are both D- and F-flat (to all orders in the superpotential) can simultaneously break the anomalous U(1)_A and give heavy mass to all phenomenologically dangerous exotic states, decoupling them from the low energy spectrum. For this model, some anomaly cancelling directions actually decouple all MSSM exotics, producing the MSSM as the effective field theory just below the string scale. This model realizes Witten's conjecture of possible equivalence between the string scale M_S and the MSSM unification scale M_MSSM. Talk presented at CPT '98, Bloomington, Indiana, 6--8 November 1998

Using the fact that the neutrino mixing matrix $U = U^\dagger_{e}U_{\nu}$, where $U_{e}$ and $U_{\nu}$ result from the diagonalisation of the charged lepton and neutrino mass matrices, we analyse the sum rules which the Dirac phase $\delta$ present in $U$ satisfies when $U_{\nu}$ has a form dictated by flavour symmetries and $U_e$ has a "minimal" form (in terms of angles and phases it contains) that can provide the requisite corrections to $U_{\nu}$, so that reactor, atmospheric and solar neutrino mixing angles $\theta_{13}$, $\theta_{23}$ and $\theta_{12}$ have values compatible with the current data. The following symmetry forms are considered: i) tri-bimaximal (TBM), ii) bimaximal (BM) (or corresponding to the conservation of the lepton charge $L' = L_e - L_\mu - L_{\tau}$ (LC)), iii) golden ratio type A (GRA), iv) golden ratio type B (GRB), and v) hexagonal (HG). We investigate the predictions for $\delta$ in the cases of TBM, BM (LC), GRA, GRB and HG forms using the exact and the leading order sum rules for $\cos\delta$ proposed in the literature, taking into account also the uncertainties in the measured values of $\sin^2\theta_{12}$, $\sin^2\theta_{23}$ and $\sin^2\theta_{13}$. This allows us, in particular, to assess the accuracy of the predictions for $\cos\delta$ based on the leading order sum rules and its dependence on the values of the indicated neutrino mixing parameters when the latter are varied in their respective 3$\sigma$ experimentally allowed ranges.

A mechanism for the masses of third, second, and first generation charged fermions at the tree, 1-loop, and 2-loop levels, respectively, is proposed. The fermionic self-energy corrections that lead to this arrangement are induced through heavy vector bosons of a new gauged flavour symmetry group $G_F$. It is shown that a single Abelian group suffices as $G_F$. Moreover, the gauge charges are optimized to result in relatively smaller flavour violations in processes involving the first and second generation fermions. The scheme is explicitly implemented on the Standard Model fermions in an anomaly-free manner and is shown to be viable with observed charged fermion masses and quark mixings. Constraints from flavour violations dictate the lower limit on the new physics scale in these types of frameworks. Through optimal flavour violation, it is shown that nearly two orders of magnitude improvement can be achieved on the lower limit, leading to the new physics scale $\ge 10^3$ TeV in this case. Further improvements are possible at the cost of the down quark mass deviating more than $3 \sigma$ from its value extracted from lattice calculations. Options for inducing tiny masses for light neutrinos are also discussed.

We propose a scheme to determine the chemical potential and baryon number density of the hadron-quark phase transition in cold dense strong interaction matter (compact star matter). The hadron matter is described with the relativistic mean field theory, and the quark matter is described with the Dyson-Schwinger equation approach of QCD. To study the first-order phase transition, we take the sound speed as the interpolation objective to construct the equation of state in the middle density region. With the maximum mass, the tidal deformability and the radius of neutron stars being taken as calibration quantities, the phase transition chemical potential is constrained to a quite small range. And the most probable value of the phase transition chemical potential is found.

We present the general rules for double-Reggeon production of objects with different spins and parities. The existing experimental information on resonance production in these central exclusive diffractive processes is discussed. The absorptive corrections are calculated and found to depend strongly on the quantum numbers of the produced states. The central exclusive diffractive production of 0^+ and 0^- Higgs bosons is studied as an illustrative topical example of the use of the general rules. The signal for diffractive 0^+ and 0^- Higgs production at the LHC is evaluated using, as an example, the minimal supersymmetric model, with large tan(beta).

The cumulative emission of Axion-Like Particles (ALPs) from all past core-collapse supernovae (SNe) would lead to a diffuse flux with energies ${\mathcal O}(50)$ MeV. We use this to constrain ALPs featuring couplings to photons and to nucleons. ALPs coupled only to photons are produced in the SN core via the Primakoff process, and then converted into gamma rays in the Galactic magnetic field. We set a bound on $g_{a\gamma} \lesssim 5 \times 10^{-10}~{\rm GeV}^{-1}$ for $m_a \lesssim 10^{-11}~{\rm eV}$, using recent measurements of the diffuse gamma-ray flux observed by the Fermi-LAT telescope. However, if ALPs couple also with nucleons, their production rate in SN can be considerably enhanced due to the ALPs nucleon-nucleon bremsstrahlung process. Assuming the largest ALP-nucleon coupling phenomenologically allowed, bounds on the diffuse gamma-ray flux lead to a much stronger $g_{a\gamma} \lesssim 6 \times 10^{-13}~{\rm GeV}^{-1}$ for the same mass range. If ALPs are heavier than $\sim$ keV, the decay into photons becomes significant, leading again to a diffuse gamma-ray flux. In the case of only photon coupling, we find, e.g. $g_{a\gamma} \lesssim 5 \times 10^{-11}~{\rm GeV}^{-1}$ for $m_a \sim 5~{\rm keV}$. Allowing for a (maximal) coupling to nucleons, the limit improves to the level of $g_{a\gamma} \lesssim 10^{-19}~{\rm GeV}^{-1}$ for $m_a \sim 20~{\rm MeV}$, which represents the strongest constraint to date.

We present a complete formalism for final-state (timelike) dipole-antenna showers including fermion masses, but neglecting polarization and finite-width effects. We make several comparisons of tree-level expansions of this shower algorithm to fixed-order matrix elements for hadronic Z decays, up to and including Z to 6 partons, to which the algorithm can be consistently matched over all of phase space. We also compare to analytical resummations at the NLL level. The shower algorithm has been implemented in the publicly available VINCIA plugin to the PYTHIA 8 event generator, which enables us to compare to experimental data at the fully hadronized level. We also include comparisons to selected observables in b-tagged Z decays.

Coherence phenomena, and the non-universality of parton structure of the effective Pomeron are explained. New hard phenomena directly calculable in QCD such as diffractive electroproduction of states with $M^2\ll Q^2$ as well as new options to measure the light-cone wave functions of various hadrons are considered. An analogue of Bjorken scaling is predicted for the diffractive electroproduction of $\rho$ mesons at large momentum transfers and for the production of large rapidity gap events, as observed at HERA. A phenomenological QCD evolution equation is suggested to calculate the basic characteristics of the large rapidity gap events. The increase of parton densities at small $x$ as well as new means to disentangle experimentally soft and hard physics are considered. We discuss constraints on the increase of deep inelastic amplitudes with $Q^2$ derived from unitarity of the S matrix for collisions of wave packets. New ways to probe QCD physics of hard processes at large longitudinal distances and to answer the long standing problems on the origin of the Pomeron are suggested. Unresolved problems and perspectives of small $x$ physics are also outlined.

We construct models of dark matter with suppressed spin-independent scattering cross section utilizing the existing simplified model framework. Even simple combinations of simplified models can exhibit interference effects that cause the tree level contribution to the scattering cross section to vanish, thus demonstrating that direct detection limits on simplified models are not robust when embedded in a more complicated and realistic framework. In general for fermionic WIMP masses >10 GeV direct detection limits on the spin-independent scattering cross section are much stronger than those coming from the LHC. However these model combinations, which we call less-simplified models, represent situations where LHC searches become more competitive than direct detection experiments even for moderate dark matter mass. We show that a complementary use of several searches at the LHC can strongly constrain the direct detection blind spots by setting limits on the coupling constants and mediators' mass. We derive the strongest limits for combinations of vector + scalar, vector + "squark", and "squark" + scalar mediator, and present the corresponding projections for the LHC 14 TeV for a number of searches: mono-jet, jets + missing energy, and searches for heavy vector resonances.

An improved PV-reduction method for one-loop integrals with auxiliary vector $R$ has been proposed in \cite{Feng:2021enk,Hu:2021nia}. It has also been shown that the new method is a self-completed method in \cite{Feng:2022uqp}. Analytic reduction coefficients can be easily produced by recursion relations in this method, where the Gram determinant appears in denominators. The singularity caused by Gram determinant is a well-known fact and it is important to address these divergences in a given frame. In this paper, we propose a systematical algorithm to deal with this problem in our method. The key idea is that now the master integral of the highest topology will be decomposed into combinations of master integrals of lower topologies. By demanding the cancellation of divergence for obtained general reduction coefficients, we solve decomposition coefficients as a Taylor series of the Gram determinant. Moreover, the same idea can be applied to other kinds of divergences.

If the baryon asymmetry of the Universe is produced by leptogenesis, CP violation is required in the lepton sector. In the seesaw extension of the Standard Model with three hierarchical right-handed neutrinos, we show that the baryon asymmetry is insensitive to the PMNS phases: thermal leptogenesis can work for any value of the observable phases. This result was well-known when there are no flavour effects in leptogenesis; we show that it remains true when flavour effects are included.

If the baryon asymmetry of the Universe is produced by leptogenesis, CP violation is required in the lepton sector. In the seesaw extension of the Standard Model with three hierarchical right-handed neutrinos, we show that the baryon asymmetry is insensitive to the PMNS phases: thermal leptogenesis can work for any value of the observable phases. This result was well-known when there are no flavour effects in leptogenesis; we show that it remains true when flavour effects are included.

We analytically calculate the cross sections of double charmonium production in $e^+ e^- \to J/\psi(\psi(2S))\chi_{cJ}$ (J=0,1,2) at next-to-leading order (NLO) in $\alpha_s$ in nonrelativistic QCD, and confirm factorization of these processes. In contrast to $\chi_{c0}$ production, for which the NLO correction is large and positive, the NLO corrections for $\chi_{c1,2}$ production can be negative, resulting in decreased $K$ factors of 0.91 and 0.78 for J=1 and 2 respectively when $\mu = 2 m_{c}$. Consequently, the NLO QCD corrections markedly enlarge the difference between cross sections of $\chi_{c0}$ and $\chi_{c1,2}$. This may explain why $e^+ e^- \to J/\psi(\psi(2S))\chi_{c0}$ but not $e^+ e^- \to J/\psi(\psi(2S))\chi_{c1,2}$ is observed experimentally. Moreover, for $J/\psi(\psi(2S))\chi_{c1,2}$, the NLO QCD corrections substantially reduce the $\mu$ dependence and lead to predictions with small theoretical uncertainties.

We present blast wave fits to elliptic flow ($v_{2}(p_{\rm T})$) data in minimum bias collisions from the $\sqrt{s_{\rm NN}} =$ 7.7--200 GeV at RHIC, and 2.76 TeV at LHC. The fits are performed separately for particles and corresponding anti-particles. The mean transverse velocity parameter $\beta$ shows an energy dependent difference between particles and corresponding anti-particles, which increases as the beam energy decreases. Possible effects of feed down, baryon stopping, anti-particle absorption, and early production times for anti-particles are discussed.

We consider several classes of analytic parametrizations of hadronic scattering amplitudes, and compare their predictions to all available forward data (proton- proton, antiproton-proton, pion-proton, kaon-proton, photon-proton, photon- photon, sigma-proton). Although these parametrizations are very close for energy larger than 9 GeV, it turns out that they differ markedly at low energy, where a universal Pomeron term ~(ln s)**2 enables one to extend the fit down to 4 GeV.

Flavored Gauge Mediation, A Heavy Higgs, and Supersymmetric Alignment
30 pages, 4 figures. Allowed regions of the FGM parameter space modified based on corrected expressions for the superpartner masses at the messenger scale. A new appendix added with a detailed discussion of the derivation of the FGM formulas, based both on the analytic continuation method and an explicit two-loop calculation. References added

We show that the messenger-matter couplings of Flavored Gauge Mediation Models can generate substantial stop mixing, leading to Higgs masses around 126 GeV with colored superpartners below 2 TeV and even a TeV. These results are largely independent of the messenger scale. We study the spectra of a few examples with a single messenger pair coupling dominantly to the top, for different messenger scales. Flavor constraints in these models are obeyed by virtue of supersymmetric alignment: the same flavor symmetry that explains fermion masses dictates the structure of the matter-messenger couplings, and this structure is inherited by the soft terms. We also present the leading 1-loop and 2-loop contributions to the soft terms for general coupling matrices in generation space.
