particular, models of scalar dark matter (DM) non universally coupled to the
standard matter (SM) such as axion-like particles (ALP) and dilatons.
Performing complete and rigorous calculations, we show that, on one hand, two
different atomic species would accelerate at a different rate, and on the other
hand, they would produce a non-zero differential phase shift in atom
interferometers (AI). The former would produce observable signals in
equivalence principle tests like the recent MICROSCOPE mission, and we provide
a corresponding sensitivity estimate, showing that MICROSCOPE can reach beyond
the best existing searches in the ALP case. We also compare the expected
sensitivity of two future AI experiments, namely the AION-10 gradiometer and an
isotope differential AI considered for MAGIS-100, that we will refer to as
SPID. We show that the SPID setup would be more sensitive to these dark matter
fields compared to the gradiometer one, assuming equivalent experimental

Similar to previous analyses, we discuss all the simplest neutrino sectors

lepton doublets and right-handed neutrinos assumed to be triplets of $A_4$.
Unlike previous analyses, we allow right-handed charged leptons to transform as
all combinations of $\mathbf{1}$, $\mathbf{1}'$ and $\mathbf{1}''$
representations of $A_4$, using the simplest different modular weights to break
the degeneracy, leading to ten different charged lepton Yukawa matrices,

different type I seesaw models, which we analyse in detail. We find that
fourteen models for both NO and IO neutrino mass ordering can accommodate the

this approach automatically accounts for in-medium screening effects, which
were not included in previous rate calculations for semiconductor targets. We
show that the screening effects appear for both scalar and vector mediators.
The result is a non-negligible reduction of reach for direct detection
experiments which use dielectric materials as targets. We also explore
different determinations of the dielectric response, including first-principles
density functional theory (DFT) calculations and a data-driven analytic
approximation using a Mermin oscillator model.

baselines for the best possible sensitivity to theta_{13}, CP violation and
mass hierarchy. Neutrinos from 18Ne and 6He with Lorentz boost gamma=350 are
detected in a 500 kton water Cerenkov detector at a distance L=650 km (first
oscillation peak) from the source. Neutrinos from 8B and 8Li are detected in a
50 kton magnetized iron detector at a distance L=7000 km (magic baseline) from
the source. Since the decay ring requires a tilt angle of 34.5 degrees to send
the beam to the magic baseline, the far end of the ring has a maximum depth of
d=2132 m for magnetic field strength of 8.3 T, if one demands that the fraction
of ions that decay along the straight sections of the racetrack geometry decay
ring (called livetime) is 0.3. We alleviate this problem by proposing to trade
reduction of the livetime of the decay ring with the increase in the boost
factor of the ions, such that the number of events at the detector remains
almost the same. This allows to substantially reduce the maximum depth of the
decay ring at the far end, without significantly compromising the sensitivity
of the experiment to the oscillation parameters. We take 8B and 8Li with
gamma=390 and 656 respectively, as these are the largest possible boost factors
possible with the envisaged upgrades of the SPS at CERN. This allows us to
reduce d of the decay ring by a factor of 1.7 for 8.3 T magnetic field.
Increase of magnetic field to 15 T would further reduce d to 738 m only. We
study the sensitivity reach of this two baseline two storage ring Beta-Beam

driven (only) by the Dirac CP phase can be achieved with the involvement of an
unorthodox form of the rotational matrix $R = e^{i{\bf A}} \,\,\,(e^{{\bf A}})$

to be an artefact in explaining the observed baryon asymmetry of the Universe

parameter space assists in rescuing the ISS parameter space needed for
successful leptogenesis. This finding is otherwise unprecedented in the ISS set
up. Making use of the resulted $R$ matrix parameter space we have calculated
the branching ratio for the LFV decay $\mu \rightarrow e\gamma$. This accounts
for an indirect probe of the $R$-matrix parameter space. The branching ratio
obtained from the leptogenesis parameter space surpasses the existing bound on
the branching ratio that resulted in a scenario of combined effect of linear

leptogenesis demands the Dirac CP phase ($\delta$) to oscillate around $\pi/2$,
although for the later choice the constraint on $\delta$ is much relaxed.

We focus on a class of models in which tree-level Hubble-induced mass is not

direction's variance in principle, the blocking effects are suppressed by the
effective masses of the non-flat directions. We find that the fate of the flat

standard model lepton flavor so that the correct relic density is obtained. We
identify a discrete symmetry that allows mass mixing between the vector-like

sequestering avoids unwanted lepton-flavor-violating effects, substantially

The Spontaneous Symmetry Breaking (SSB) process within the standard model (SM) and the minimal supersymmetric standard model (MSSM) is used to explore the present status of the Higgs Mechanism along with the constraints in detecting the Higgs particles in experiments. The possible explanations and generalizations for the case that the Higgs particles should not appear or to couple the Higgs Mechanism (because of their gravitational nature of interaction) are also iscussed in detail in view of the Higgs field gravity. |

breaking scale and perform a comprehensive fit to low-energy data including
mesonic, neutron, and nuclear $\beta$-decay processes, $\Delta F=1$ and $\Delta

Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa and mLRSM parameters simultaneously and determine a
lower bound on the mass of the right-handed $W_R$ boson. In models where a
Peccei-Quinn mechanism provides a solution to the strong CP problem, we obtain
$M_{W_R} \gtrsim 5.5$ TeV at $95\%$ C.L. which can be significantly improved
with next-generation EDM experiments. In the $P$-symmetric mLRSM without a
Peccei-Quinn mechanism we obtain a more stringent constraint $M_{W_R} \gtrsim
17$ TeV at $95\%$ C.L., which is difficult to improve with low-energy
measurements alone. In all cases, the additional scalar fields of the mLRSM are
required to be a few times heavier than the right-handed gauge bosons. We
consider a recent discrepancy in tests of first-row unitarity of the CKM
matrix. We find that, while TeV-scale $W_R$ bosons can alleviate some of the
tension found in the $V_{ud,us}$ determinations, a solution to the discrepancy
is disfavored when taking into account other low-energy observables within the

distribution available in the literature. Partonic longitudinal and transverse
distributions of the pion are those obtained in a recent calculation in a
Nambu-Jona Lasinio (NJL) framework, with Pauli-Villars regularization. The
scale of the NJL model is fixed by a comparison between NLO predictions based
on NJL evolved pion distributions and rapidity differential DY cross sections
data. The resulting distributions are then used to describe, up to
next-to-leading logarithmic accuracy, the transverse momentum spectrum of
dilepton pairs up to a transverse momentum of 2 GeV. With no additional
parameters, fair agreement is found with available pion-nucleus data,
confirming the virtues of the NJL description of pion parton structure. We find
sizable evolution effects on the shape of the distributions and on the
generated average transverse momentum of the dilepton pair. We discuss the
possibility of extracting details on pion unpolarized transverse momentum
dependent parton distribution from pion nucleus DY data. In this respect, the
region of low invariant mass of the lepton pair appears to be favored to
discriminate between different descriptions of the non-perturbative pion
transverse structure.

more involved measurements. Distributions in phase space are usually
investigated using the statistical approach, very successful in general but
failing in cases of small colliding systems, small multiplicities, and at the
edges of the allowed phase space, in which cases the underlying dynamical
effects competing with the statistical distributions take over. We discuss an
alternative approach, which applies to the whole phase space without detailed

generalizing it to a superstatistical form. We stress particularly the scaling
