In Phys. Rev. D 58, 014014 (1998) and 71, 094013 (2005), we determined non-perturbative D^0, D^+, D^{*+}, D_s^+, and Lambda_c^+ fragmentation functions, both at leading and next-to-leading order in the MS-bar factorization scheme, by fitting e^+e^- data taken by the OPAL Collaboration at CERN LEP1. The starting points for the evolution in the factorization scale mu were taken to be mu_0 = 2m_Q, where Q = c,b. For the reader's convenience, in this Addendum, we repeat this analysis for mu_0 = m_Q, where the flavor thresholds of modern sets of parton density functions are located.

Higgs-radion unification: radius stabilization by an SU(2) bulk doublet and the 126 GeV scalar

We investigate a Randall-Sundrum model with an SU(2) doublet propagating in the bulk. Upon calculating its gravitational effect we find that a stabilized radius can be generated without the use of an additional scalar, as needed for example in the Goldberger-Wise (GW) mechanism, and with no additional fine-tuning other than the inescapable one due to the cosmological constant; similar tuning is also present in the GW mechanism. The lowest scalar excitation in this scenario, the counterpart of the radion of the GW mechanism, has both radion-like and Higgs-like couplings to the SM fields. It, thus, plays a dual role and we, therefore, denote it as the "Higgs-radion" ($h_r$). As opposed to the GW radion case, our Higgs-radion is found to be compatible with the 126 GeV scalar recently discovered at the LHC, at the level of $1\sigma$, with a resulting $95\%$ CL bound on the KK-gluon mass of: $4.48~TeV<M_{KKG}< 5.44~TeV$. An important consequence of our setup should be accentuated: the radion of the traditional RS scenarios simply does not exist, so that our Higgs-radion is not the conventional mixed state between the GW radion and the Higgs.

The prospect of a time-dependent Higgs vacuum expectation value is examined within the standard model of electroweak interactions. It is shown that the classical equation of motion for the Higgs field admits a solution that is a doubly-periodic function of time. The corresponding Dirac equation for the electron field is equivalent to a second order differential equation with doubly-periodic coefficients. In the limit of very large primitive period of the Higgs background this equation can be solved in WKBJ approximation, showing plane-wave solutions with a time-dependent distortion factor which can be made arbitrarily small.

We analyse the pion electromagnetic, charged-current, and $\pi\gamma$ transition form factors at timelike momentum transfers $q$, $q^2=s\le 1.4$ GeV$^2$, using a dispersion approach. We discuss in detail the propagator matrix of the photon-vector-meson system and define certain reduced amplitudes, or vertex functions, describing the coupling of this system to final states. We then apply the derived analytic expressions to the analysis of the recent $e^+e^-\to \pi^+\pi^-$, $\tau^-\to \pi^-\pi^0\nu_\tau$, and $e^+e^-\to \pi^0\gamma$ data. We find the reduced amplitudes for the coupling of the photon and vector mesons to two pseudoscalars to be constant, independent of $s$, in the range considered, indicating a "freezing" of the amplitudes for $s\le 1$ GeV. The fit to the form factor data leads to the following values of the Breit-Wigner resonance masses m_{\rho^-}=775.3\pm 0.8 MeV, m_{\rho^0}=773.7\pm 0.6 MeV and m_\omega=782.43\pm 0.05 MeV, where the errors are only statistical.

We show that three SU(2) singlet neutral scalars (two CP-even and one CP-odd) in the spectrum of models based on the gauge symmetry SU(3)_c X SU(3)_L X U(1)_X, which do not contain exotic electric charges, are realistic candidates for thermally generated self-interacting dark matter in the Universe, a type of dark matter that has been recently proposed in order to overcome some difficulties of collisionless cold dark matter models at the galactic scale. These candidates arise without introducing a new mass scale in the model and/or without the need for a discrete symmetry to stabilize them, but at the expense of tuning several combinations of parameters of the scalar potential.

We study electroweak baryogenesis in the E_6 inspired exceptional supersymmetric standard model ( E_6SSM ). The relaxation coefficients driven by singlinos and the new gaugino as well as the transport equation of the Higgs supermultiplet number density in the E_6SSM are calculated. Our numerical simulation shows that both CP-violating source terms from singlinos and the new gaugino can solely give rise to a correct baryon asymmetry of the Universe via the electroweak baryogenesis mechanism.

We present the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) discovery potential in the $Z'$ sector of a $U(1)_{B-L}$ enlarged Standard Model (that also includes three heavy Majorana neutrinos and an additional Higgs boson) for $\sqrt{s}=7$, 10 and 14 TeV centre-of-mass (CM) energies, considering both the $Z'_{B-L}\rightarrow e^+e^-$ and $Z'_{B-L}\rightarrow \mu^+\mu^-$ decay channels. The comparison of the (irreducible) backgrounds with the expected backgrounds for the D$\O$ experiment at the Tevatron validates our simulation. We propose an alternative analysis that has the potential to improve the D$\O$ sensitivity. Electrons provide a higher sensitivity to smaller couplings at small $Z'_{B-L}$ boson masses than do muons. The resolutions achievable may allow the $Z'_{B-L}$ boson width to be measured at smaller masses in the case of electrons in the final state. The run of the LHC at $\sqrt{s}=7$ TeV, assuming at most $\int \mathcal{L} \sim 1$ fb$^{-1}$, will be able to give similar results to those that will be available soon at the Tevatron in the lower mass region, and to extend them for a heavier $M_{Z'}$.

We investigate the inclusive and semi-inclusive productions of spin-3/2 hadrons, such as $\Omega$, in unpolarized $e^+ e^-$ annihilation. The general differential cross sections are expressed in terms of structure functions in accordance to the polarization of the hadron and the azimuthal modulations. We derive a complete definition of quark transverse momentum dependent (TMD) fragmentation functions (FFs) to spin-3/2 hadrons for the first time from the decomposition of the quark-quark correlation matrix at leading twist, 14 of which are newly defined corresponding to rank-3 tensor polarized hadron. The collinear FFs are obtained from the $k_T$-integrated correlation matrix, and only two TMD FFs with rank-3 tensor polarization have nonvanishing collinear counterparts. Then we perform a leading order calculation of the unpolarized differential cross sections. In the single-hadron inclusive production, only two structure functions are found nonzero and none of the rank-3 tensor polarized FFs contributes. For the nearly back-to-back two-hadron production, half of the 48 structure functions are found nonzero even if the spin of the second hadron is not analyzed, and ten of the rank-3 tensor polarized TMD FFs contribute. Therefore, one can study the rank-3 tensor polarized FFs via the production of a spin-3/2 hadron and an unpolarized hadron in unpolarized $e^+ e^-$ collision experiments. These newly defined FFs can be further applied in semi-inclusive deep inelastic scattering processes for the study of nucleon structures.

We study the long-distance dominated K_L -> pi^+ pi^- gamma decay at O(p^6) in Chiral Perturbation Theory. The complete calculation of the O(p^6) loop magnetic amplitude is carried out. At this chiral order the model dependent part of the vector meson exchange contribution to the magnetic amplitude is evaluated in the two models : FM (Factorization Model) and FMV (Factorization Model in the Vector Couplings). We predict, in an almost model independent way, a slope of K_L -> pi^+ pi^- gamma in the range c = -1.6,-1.8, consistently with the experimental value. We find that the experimental result for the width of K_L -> pi^+ pi^- gamma is compatible with a bigger breaking of the nonet symmetry in the weak vertices than previously stated. Thus we conclude that our analysis does not exclude an opposite sign to the one given by the dominance of the pion pole in the poorly known K_L -> gamma gamma amplitude. A complete analysis of the O(p^3) weak Vector-Pseudoscalar-Pseudoscalar (VPP) vertex is also performed.

We discuss the relation between partonic distributions near the phase space boundary and Wilson loop expectation values calculated along paths partially lying on the light-cone. Due to additional light-cone singularities, multiplicative renormalizability for these expectation values is lost. Nevertheless we establish the renormalization group equation for the light like Wilson loops and show that it is equivalent to the evolution equation for the physical distributions. By performing a two-loop calculation we verify these properties and show that the universal form of the splitting function for large x originates from the cusp anomalous dimension of Wilson loops.

The one-loop diffractive amplitude for emission of two real gluons with widely different rapidities is studied in the Lipatov effective action formalism. It is shown that after integration over longitudinal momenta in the loop the resulting expression coincides with the one obtained by the Lipatov-Bartels formalism in transversal space provided the same prescription is used to exclude divergent contributions as previously proposed for emission of a single real gluon.

The Standard Model fit prefers values of the Higgs boson mass that are below the 114 GeV direct lower limit from LEP II. The discrepancy is acute if the 3.2 sigma disagreement for the effective weak interaction mixing angle from the two most precise measurements is attributed to underestimated systematic error. In that case the data suggests new physics to raise the predicted value of the Higgs mass. One of the simplest possibilities is a Z' boson, which would generically increase the prediction for the Higgs mass as a result of Z-Z' mixing. We explore the effect of Z-Z' mixing on the Higgs mass prediction, using both the full data set and the reduced data set that omits the hadronic asymmetry measurements of the weak mixing angle, which are more likely than the leptonic asymmetry measurements to have underestimated systematic uncertainty.

The discrepancy is acute if the 3.2 sigma disagreement for the effective weak interaction mixing angle from the two most precise measurements is attributed to underestimated systematic error. In that case the data suggests new physics to raise the predicted value of the Higgs mass. One of the simplest possibilities is a Z' boson, which would generically increase the prediction for the Higgs mass as a result of Z-Z' mixing. We explore the effect of Z-Z' mixing on the Higgs mass prediction, using both the full data set and the reduced data set that omits the hadronic asymmetry measurements of the weak mixing angle, which are more likely than the leptonic asymmetry measurements to have underestimated systematic uncertainty.

We include two loop, relativistic one loop and second order relativistic tree level corrections, plus leading nonperturbative contributions, to obtain a calculation of the lower states in the heavy quarkonium spectrum correct up to, and including, $O(\alpha_s^4)$ and leading $\Lambda^4/m^4$ terms. This allows us, in particular, to obtain a model independent determination of the pole masses of the $b, c$ quarks, $$m_b=5 015^{+110}_{-70} mev; m_c=1 884^{+222}_{-133} mev$$ to which correspond the $\bar{\hbox{MS}}$ masses, $$\bar{m}_b(\bar{m}_b^2)=4 453^{+50}_{-32} mev; \bar{m}_c(\bar{m}_c^2)=1 547^{+169}_{-102} mev.$$ The decay $\Gamma(\Upsilon\to e^+e^-)$ is found in agreement with experiment, $$\Gamma(\Upsilon\to e^+e^-)=1.135^{+0.27}_{-0.29} kev (\hbox{exp.}=1.320\pm0.04 kev),$$ and the hyperfine splitting is predicted to be $$M(\Upsilon)-M(\eta)=48.5^{+15.7}_{-12.2} mev.$$

We study the very recently discovered $\Theta^+$ (1540) at SPring-8, at ITEP and at CLAS-Thomas Jefferson Lab. We apply the same RGM techniques that already explained with success the repulsive hard core of nucleon-nucleon, kaon-nucleon exotic scattering, and the attractive hard core present in pion-nucleon and pion-pion non-exotic scattering. We find that the K-N repulsion excludes the Theta+ as a K-N s-wave pentaquark. We explore the Theta+ as heptaquark, equivalent to a N+pi+K borromean boundstate, with positive parity and total isospin I=0. We find that the kaon-nucleon repulsion is cancelled by the attraction existing both in the pion-nucleon and pion-kaon channels. Although we are not yet able to bind the total three body system, we find that the Theta+ may still be a heptaquark state.

Certain types of asymmetries in neutral meson physics have not been treated properly, ignoring the difference of normalization factors with an assumption of the equality of total decay width. Since the corrected asymmetries in $B^0$ meson are different from known asymmetries by a shift in the first order of CP- and CPT-violation parameters, experimental data should be analyzed with the consideration of this effect as in $K^0$ meson physics.

In this article, we study the mass spectrum of the low-lying triply heavy hybrid baryon, which consists of three valence heavy quarks in a color octet and one valence gluon, with spin-parity $J^P=(\frac{1}{2})^+$ via QCD sum rules. This is the first study on the triply heavy hybrid baryons in the framework of QCD sum rules. After performing the QCD sum rule analysis, we find that the mass of $cccg$ hybrid baryon lies in $M_{cccg}= 5.91-6.13$ GeV. As a byproduct, the mass of the triply bottom hybrid baryon state is extracted to be around $M_{bbbg}=14.62-14.82$ GeV. The contributions up to dimension eight at the leading order of $\alpha_s$ (LO) in the operator product expansion are taken into account in the calculation. The triply charmed hybrid baryon predicted in this work can decay into one doubly charmed baryon and one charmed meson. Especially, we propose to search for $cccg$ hybrid baryon with $J^{P}= (1/2)^+$ in the P-wave decay channels $\Xi_{cc}^{++} D^0$, $\Xi_{cc}^{+} D^+$, and $\Xi_{ccs}^{+} D_s^+$, which may be accessible in future BelleII, Super-B, PANDA, and LHCb experiments.

We present a class of models where electroweak baryogenesis produces sufficient amount of baryon asymmetry.

Contributions from gluon interactions, which are non-leading in high-energy semi-hard processes, are studied and represented in terms of reggeon exchanges. Unlike the leading gluonic reggeon, related to the BFKL pomeron, the non-leading reggeons are sensitive to the spin and transverse momentum distributions of scattering partons. There are several gluonic reggeons with poles in the vicinity of angular momentum $j=0$ contributing to the perturbative Regge asymptotics of QCD. We extend the high-energy effective action including sub-leading terms which describe these reggeons and their interactions with scattering quarks and gluons in the multi-Regge approximation.

We show that the anomalous magnetic moment experimental data of muon and electron $(g-2)_{\mu,e}$ can be explained simultaneously in simple extensions of the 3-3-1 models consisting of new heavy neutrinos and a singly charged Higgs boson. The heavy neutrinos generate active neutrino masses and mixing through the general seesaw mechanism. They also have non-zero Yukawa couplings with singly charged Higgs bosons and right-handed charged leptons, which result in large one-loop contributions known as \emph{chirally-enhanced} ones. Numerical investigation confirms a conclusion indicated previously that these contributions are the key point to explain the large $(g-2)_{\mu,e}$ data, provided that the inverse seesaw mechanism is necessary to allow both conditions that heavy neutrino masses are above few hundred GeV and non-unitary part of the active neutrino mixing matrix must be large enough.

The state with $J=2$ can be a good candidate for the $B_2^*(5747)$. We also study the $\rho B$ system, and a bound state with mass $5728$ MeV and width around $20$ MeV is obtained, which can be identified with the $B_1(5721)$ resonance. In the case of $I=3/2$, one obtains repulsion and thus, no exotic (molecular) mesons in this sector are generated in the approach.

The physical processes behind the production of light nuclei in heavy ion collisions are unclear. The nice theoretical description of experimental yields by thermal models conflicts with the very small binding energies of the observed states, being fragile in such a hot and dense environment. Other available ideas are delayed production via coalescence, or a cooling of the system after the chemical freeze-out according a Saha equation, or a `quench' instead of a thermal freeze-out. A recently derived prescription of an (interacting) Hagedorn gas is applied to consolidate the above pictures. The tabulation of decay rates of Hagedorn states into light nuclei allows to calculate yields usually unaccessable due to very poor Monte Carlo statistics. Decay yields of stable hadrons and light nuclei are calculated. While the scale-free decays of Hagedorn states alone are not compatible with the experimental data, a thermalized hadron and Hagedorn state gas is able to describe the experimental data. Applying a cooling of the system according a Saha-equation with conservation of nucleons and anti-nucleons in number leads to (nearly) temperature independent yields, thus a production of the light nuclei at temperatures much lower than the chemical freeze-out temperature is possible.

A classification of the $IJ^{PC}=00^{++}$ mesons is performed on the basis of the K-matrix analysis of meson spectra in the reactions: (i) GAMS data on $\pi p\to \pi^0\pi^0 n$, $\eta\eta n$, $\eta\eta' n$; (ii) Crystal Barrel data on $p\bar p~(at~rest)\to \pi^0\pi^0\pi^0$, $\pi^0\pi^0\eta$, $\pi^0\eta\eta$; (iii) CERN-M\"unich data on $\pi p\to \pi^+\pi^- n$; (iiii) BNL data on $\pi N\to K\bar K N$. The analysis points to the existence of four comparatively narrow scalar resonances which correspond to the following poles of the scattering amplitude (in MeV): $(1015\pm 15)- i(43\pm 8)$, $(1300\pm 20)-i(120\pm 20)$, $(1499\pm 8)-i(65\pm 10)$ and $(1780\pm 30)-i(125\pm 70)$. The scattering amplitude also has a fifth pole $f_0(1530^{+90}_{-250})$ at the complex mass $(1530^{+90}_{-250}) - i(560\pm 140)$. The masses of the K-matrix poles (bare states) are at $720\pm 100$ MeV, $1230\pm 50$ MeV, $1260\pm 30$ MeV, $1600\pm 50$ MeV and $1810\pm 30$ MeV. The quark content of the bare states is analyzed using the values of their couplings to the $\pi\pi$, $K\bar K$, $\eta\eta$ and $\eta\eta'$. It is shown that one of the bare states in the mass region 1200-1600 MeV is superfluous for the $q\bar q$ classification and should be considered as the lightest glueball.

In this talk we discuss how ideas from the theory of mixed Hodge structures can be used to find differential equations for Feynman integrals. In particular we discuss the two-loop sunrise graph in two dimensions and show that these methods lead to a differential equation which is simpler than the ones obtained from integration-by-parts.

We argue that a primordial black hole is a natural and unique candidate for all dark matter. We show that, in a smooth-hybrid new double inflation model, a right amount of the primordial black holes, with a sharply-defined mass, can be produced at the end of the smooth-hybrid regime, through preheating. We first consider masses < 10^(-7)M_sun which are allowed by all the previous constraints. We next discuss much heavier mass 10^5 M_sun hinted at by entropy, and galactic size evolution, arguments. Effects on the running of the scalar spectral index are computed.

In this manuscript, a unified approach to hadron physics from holographic point of view is described. After introduction of a general setup for meson-nucleon system based on the bottom-up approach of QCD (AdS/QCD), as an illustration, we specifically examine meson-nucleon couplings.

We study the effect of one universal extra dimension on the branching ratios of the lepton flavor violating processes \mu\to e\gamma and \tau\to \mu\gamma in the general two Higgs doublet model. We observe that these new effects are tiny for the small values of the compactification radius R. Furthermore, we see that these effects are comparable with the branching ratio obtained without including extra dimension, if the neutral Higgs bosons are nearly degenerate and the complexity of the Yukawa coupling, inducing the vertex tau-tau-$h^0 (A^0)$, is large.

In this paper, we introduce an extension of the Standard Model, based on SU(3)$_\mathrm{C}\times $SU(3)$_\mathrm{L}\times $U(1)$_X$ gauge symmetry (331-model). The 331-models traditionally explain the number of fermion familes in nature. In our model the Froggatt-Nielsen mechanism is incorporated into the 331-setting in a particularly economical fashion. The model utilizes the both the Froggatt-Nielsen and linear seesaw mechanisms to explain the observed fermion mass hierarchies and lightness of neutrinos. In our numerical analysis we found that a $\sim$ 50 TeV new physics scale is able to reproduce correctly all the fermion masses and mixing matrices, including neutrino masses, mass squared differences and mixing matrix.

Transverse momentum dependent (TMD) parton distribution functions (PDFs), TMDs for short, are defined as the Fourier transform of matrix elements of nonlocal combinations of quark and gluon fields. The nonlocality is bridged by gauge links, which for TMDs have characteristic paths (future or past pointing), giving rise to a process dependence that breaks universality. It is possible, however, to construct sets of universal TMDs of which in a given process particular combinations are needed with calculable, process-dependent, coefficients. This occurs for both T-odd and T-even TMDs, including also the {\it unpolarized} quark and gluon TMDs. This extends the by now well-known example of T-odd TMDs that appear with opposite sign in single-spin azimuthal asymmetries in semi-inclusive deep inelastic scattering or in the Drell-Yan process. In this paper we analyze the cases where TMDs enter multiplied by products of two transverse momenta, which includes besides the $p_T$-broadening observable, also instances with rank two structures. To experimentally demonstrate the process dependence of the latter cases requires measurements of second harmonic azimuthal asymmetries, while the $p_T$-broadening will require measurements of processes beyond semi-inclusive deep inelastic scattering or the Drell-Yan process. Furthermore, we propose specific quantities that will allow for theoretical studies of the process dependence of TMDs using lattice QCD calculations.

We complete the calculation of the element $\Gamma_{12}^q$ of the decay matrix in $B_q-\bar{B}_q$ mixing, $q=d,s$, to order $\alpha_s$ in the leading power of the Heavy Quark Expansion. To this end we compute one- and two-loop contributions involving two four-quark penguin operators. Furthermore, we present two-loop QCD corrections involving a chromomagnetic operator and either a current-current or four-quark penguin operator. Such contributions are of order $\alpha_s^2$, i.e. next-to-next-to-leading-order. We also present one-loop and two-loop results involving two chromomagnetic operators which are formally of next-to-next-to-leading and next-to-next-to-next-to-leading-order, respectively. With our new corrections we obtain the Standard-Model prediction $\Delta\Gamma_s/\Delta M_s= (5.20\pm 0.69)\cdot 10^{-3}$ if $\Gamma_{12}^s$ is expressed in terms of the $\overline{\rm MS}$ b-quark mass, while we find $\Delta \Gamma_s/\Delta M_s= (4.70\pm 0.96)\cdot 10^{-3}$ instead for the use of the pole mass.

Dark Matter Freeze-out in a Matter Dominated Universe

The universe has evolved through several phases as its various constituents dominated its energy content. Candidate dark matter particles may have undergone freeze-out during any such phase. While the standard freeze-out scenarios have been explored during the radiation-dominated era, and more recently during scalar field decay, this work extends the study of dark matter freeze-out to a potential early period during which the universe is matter-dominated and its evolution adiabatic. Decoupling during an adiabatic matter dominated era changes the freeze-out dynamics, since the Hubble rate is parametrically different for matter and radiation domination. Furthermore, for successful Big Bang Nucleosynthesis the state dominating the early universe energy density must decay, this dilutes (or repopulates) the dark matter. As a result, the masses and couplings required to match the observed dark matter relic density can differ signifcantly from radiation dominated freeze-out.

High-energy nuclear collisions produce a nonequilibrium plasma of quarks and gluons which thermalizes and exhibits hydrodynamic flow. There are currently no practical frameworks to connect the early particle production in classical field simulations to the subsequent hydrodynamic evolution. We build such a framework using nonequilibrium Green's functions, calculated in QCD kinetic theory, to propagate the initial energy-momentum tensor to the hydrodynamic phase. We demonstrate that this approach can be easily incorporated into existing hydrodynamic simulations, leading to stronger constraints on the energy density at early times and the transport properties of the QCD medium. Based on (conformal) scaling properties of the Green's functions, we further obtain pragmatic bounds for the applicability of hydrodynamics in nuclear collisions.

The weak decays of doubly heavy $\Xi_{QQ}$ baryon induced by flavor changing $b \to d$ and $ c \to u$ flavor changing neutral current within the light cone sum rules are studied. Using the parallel components of the light cone distribution amplitudes for $\Lambda_Q$ baryon, the sum rules are constructed and analyzed for the corresponding transition form factors. Having the results for the form factors, the corresponding branching ratios for $\Xi_{QQ} \to \Lambda_Q l^+ l^-$ decays are estimated. While the branching ratio due to $b \to d$ transition is around $10^{-9}$, in $c \to u$ transition case, it is found as around $10^{-13}$. Hence, $\Xi_{bb} \to \Lambda_b l^+ l^-$ decay has the potential of being discovered at LHCb. However, $\Xi_{bb} \to \Lambda_b l^+ l^-$ is difficult to be measured due to the extremely small values of obtained branching ratio.

First, we perform a benchmark test based on a model spectral function and study the regime of applicability of these methods depending on the number of input points and their statistical error. We then apply these methods to more realistic examples, namely to numerical data on Euclidean propagators obtained from a Functional Renormalization Group calculation, to data from a lattice Quantum Chromodynamics simulation and to data obtained from a tight-binding model for graphene in order to extract the electrical conductivity.

Recently, we proposed a new approach for calculating Feynman graphs amplitude using the Gaussian representation for propagators which was proven to be exact in the limit of graphs having an infinite number of loops. Regge behavior was also found in a completely new way and the leading Regge trajectory calculated. Here we present symmetry arguments justifying the simple form used for the polynomials in the Feynman parameters $\bar \alpha _{\ell}$, where $\bar \alpha _{\ell}$ is the mean-value for these parameters, appearing in the amplitude for the ladder graphs. (Taking mean-values is equivalent to the Gaussian representation for propagators).

The particle-antiparticle asymmetries of $\Lambda$ production in 250 GeV/c $\pi^{\pm}$, $K^{\pm}$, and $p$ --nucleon collisions are studied with two model parametrizations of quark to $\Lambda$ fragmentation functions. It is shown that the available data can be qualitatively explained by the calculated results in both the quark-diquark model and a pQCD based analysis of fragmentation functions. The differences in the two model predictions are significant for $K^{\pm}$ beams, and high precision measurements of the asymmetries with detailed $x_F$ and $P_T$ information can discriminate between different predictions.

We consider a possible interpretation of the new charm-strange meson Ds0*(2317) as a hadronic molecule - a bound state of D and K mesons. Using an effective Lagrangian approach we calculate the strong Ds0* to Ds pi0 and radiative Ds0* to Ds* gamma decays. A new impact related to the DK molecular structure of the Ds0*(2317) meson is that the presence of u(d) quarks in the D and K mesons gives rise to a direct strong isospin-violating transition Ds0* to Ds pi0 in addition to the decay mechanism induced by eta-pi0 mixing considered previously. We show that the direct transition dominates over the eta-pi0 mixing transition in the Ds0* to Ds pi0 decay. Our results for the partial decay widths are consistent with previous calculations.

We consider a possible interpretation of the new charm-strange meson Ds0*(2317) as a hadronic molecule - a bound state of D and K mesons. Using an effective Lagrangian approach we calculate the strong Ds0* to Ds pi0 and radiative Ds0* to Ds* gamma decays. A new impact related to the DK molecular structure of the Ds0*(2317) meson is that the presence of u(d) quarks in the D and K mesons gives rise to a direct strong isospin-violating transition Ds0* to Ds pi0 in addition to the decay mechanism induced by eta-pi0 mixing considered previously. We show that the direct transition dominates over the eta-pi0 mixing transition in the Ds0* to Ds pi0 decay. Our results for the partial decay widths are consistent with previous calculations.

We give a brief overview of 20 open theoretical questions in supersymmetric particle physics. The 20 questions we have chosen range from the GeV scale to the Planck scale, and include issues pertaining to the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model and its extensions, SUSY-breaking, cosmology, grand unified theories, and string theory. Throughout, our goal is to address those topics in which supersymmetry plays a fundamental role, and which are areas of active research in the field. This survey is written at an introductory level and is aimed at people who are not necessarily experts in the field. (To appear as an Overview Chapter in the review volume "Perspectives on Supersymmetry", edited by G. Kane, to be published by World Scientific.)

The study of $B \to \tau^+ \tau^- (X)$ decays can provide us with a better understanding of the third generation, and can be a useful probe of physics beyond the standard model. We present a model independent analysis of these decays. We classify new physics that can largely enhance the decay rates and we discuss the constraints implied by other processes. Experimentally, flavor changing neutral current $B$ decays into final state $\tau$'s are still unconstrained. Searches for $B$ decays with large missing energy at LEP provide the first limits. We estimate that existing data already imply bounds on the $B_d \to \tau^+ \tau^-$, $B_s \to \tau^+ \tau^-$, and $B \to X \tau^+ \tau^-$ decay rates at the few percent level. Although these bounds are over four orders of magnitude above the standard model predictions, they provide the first constraints on some leptoquarks, and on some R-parity violating couplings.

We have determined the dispersion relation of a neutrino test particle propagating in the cosmic neutrino background. Describing the relic neutrinos and antineutrinos from the hot big bang as a dense medium, a matter potential or refractive index is obtained. The vacuum neutrino mixing angles are unchanged, but the energy of each mass state is modified. Using a matrix in the space of neutrino species, the induced potential is decomposed into a part which produces signatures in beta-decay experiments and another part which modifies neutrino oscillations. The low temperature of the relic neutrinos makes a direct detection extremely challenging. From a different point of view, the identified refractive effects of the cosmic neutrino background constitute an ultralow background for future experimental studies of nonvanishing Lorentz violation in the neutrino sector.

The recent observation of B^0_d->\pi^0\pi^0 and \bar{B}^0_d->\pi^0\pi^0 decay modes allows us to make a fresh isospin analysis of B->\pi\pi transitions. We find that current experimental data can impose some model-independent constraints on the parameter space of direct CP violation in B_d->\pi^+\pi^- and B_d->\pi^0\pi^0. Furthermore, we establish a direct relationship between the weak phase \alpha and the charge-averaged branching fractions and CP-violating asymmetries of B->\pi\pi decays.

In this work, we calculate the total cross sections and the center-of-mass frame angular distributions of the charmonium production plus a light meson by the low energy $p\bar{p}$ interaction. The results of $p\bar{p}\to \pi^0 \Psi$ with and without form factor (FF) indicate that the FF contribution in the calculation cannot be ignored. The obtained cross section of $p\bar{p}\to \pi^0 J/\psi$ with FF can fit the E760 data well. We also predict the total cross sections and the center-of-mass frame angular distributions of $p\bar{p}\to \omega \Psi$, which show that these physical quantities are dependent on Pauli ($g_\omega$) and Dirac ($\kappa_\omega$) coupling constants of the $pp\omega$ interaction. Thus, $p\bar{p}\to \omega \Psi$ can be as the ideal channel to test the different theoretical values of $g_\omega$ and $\kappa_\omega$. Applying the formulae of $p\bar{p}\to \pi^0 \Psi$ and $p\bar{p}\to \omega \Psi$, we predict the total cross sections of the $p\bar{p}\to \eta \Psi$ and $p\bar{p}\to \rho \Psi$ reactions. Our results show a common behavior of the charmonium production with a light meson by the $p\bar{p}$ interaction, where the total cross section of the $\eta_c$ production is the largest one among all discussed processes. The above observations can be directly tested at the forthcoming $\bar{P}$ANDA experiment.

We have attempted to describe the rapidity and transverse momentum spectra, simultaneously, of the hadrons produced in the Ultra-relativistic Nuclear Collisions. This we have tried to achieve in a single statistical thermal freeze-out model using single set of parameters. We assume the formation of a hadronic gas in thermo-chemical equilibrium at the freeze-out. The model incorporates a longitudinal as well as a transverse hydrodynamic flow. We have also found that the role of heavier hadronic resonance decay is important in explaining the particle spectra.

A recently proposed super-heat-kernel technique is applied to heavy baryon chiral perturbation theory with two flavours. A previous result for the one-loop divergences of the pion-nucleon system is confirmed, giving at the same time an impressive demonstration of the efficiency of the new method. The cumbersome and tedious calculations of the conventional approach are now reduced to a few simple algebraic manipulations. The present computational scheme is not restricted to chiral perturbation theory, but can easily be applied or extended to any (in general non-renormalizable) theory with boson-fermion interactions.

We propose techniques to observe the correlation of the spins of top quarks and antiquarks at the Tevatron and the LHC. Observation of the spin correlation would confirm that the top quark decays before its spin flips, and would place a lower bound on the top-quark width and V_tb. The spin correlation may also be a useful tool to study the weak decay amplitude of the top quark.

When the hidden monopoles make up a significant fraction of dark matter, the Witten effect suppresses the abundance of axion with the decay constant smaller than $10^{12}$ GeV. The cosmological domain wall problem of the QCD axion can also be avoided, relaxing the upper bound on the decay constant when the Peccei-Quinn symmetry is spontaneously broken after inflation.

The High Density Effective Theory formalism is used to calculate the low energy properties of the phonons and gluons in the Larkin-Ovchinnikov-Fulde-Ferrell (LOFF) phase of two-flavor QCD. The effective phonon Lagrangian for the cubic crystal structure, which is favored according to a recent study, depends, at the second order in the derivatives, on three parameters which we calculate in this paper. We also compute for soft momenta the effective lagrangian for the gluons of the unbroken SU(2)_c group, both for a single plane wave structure and for the cube. In both cases the Meissner gluon mass vanishes as in the case of complete isotropy; on the other hand there is a partial Debye screening due to the existence of blocking regions on the Fermi spheres. For the single plane wave structure the gluon dielectric tensor is non isotropic, while it is isotropic for the cubic crystal, in spite of the intrinsic anisotropy of the structure.

The ALICE experiment at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) ring is designed to study the strongly interacting matter at extreme energy densities created in high-energy heavy-ion collisions. In this paper we investigate correlations of heavy and light flavours in simulations at LHC energies at mid-rapidity, with the primary purpose of proposing experimental application of these methods. Our studies have shown that investigating the correlation images can aid the experimental separation of heavy quarks and help understanding the physics that create them. The shape of the correlation peaks can be used to separate the electrons stemming from b quarks. This could be a method of identification that, combined with identification in silicon vertex detectors, may provide much better sample purity for examining the secondary vertex shift. Based on a correlation picture it is also possible to distinguish between prompt and late contributions to D meson yields.

The ALICE experiment at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) ring is designed to study the strongly interacting matter at extreme energy densities created in high-energy heavy-ion collisions. In this paper we investigate correlations of heavy and light flavours in simulations at LHC energies at mid-rapidity, with the primary purpose of proposing experimental application of these methods.

The low-energy S-wave pi N and K N scatterings are studied by the K-matrix approach within the meson exchange framework. The t-channel meson exchanges, especially rho and sigma exchanges, are found to play a very important role in these two processes. The t-channel rho exchange determines the isospin structure of the scattering amplitudes, it gives attractive force in the low isospin state but repulsive force in the high isospin state. The t-channel sigma exchange gives a very large contribution in these two processes, while it is negligible in meson-meson S-wave scatterings.

We study the residues of $\Lambda_Q$-type baryons ($\Lambda_Q$ and $\Xi_Q^A$) $(Q=b,c)$ and $\Sigma_Q$-type baryons ($\Sigma_Q^{(\ast)}$, $\Xi_Q^{S(\ast)}$ and $\Omega_Q^{(\ast)}$) in the quark-diquark model within the Bethe-Salpeter (BS) formalism. These residues can be used, for example, in the calculations of the amplitudes in the scattering processes. After constructing the baryonic currents in the BS formalism, we derive the relations between the BS wave functions and the residues for these baryons. The BS equations are solved numerically with the kernel including the scalar confinement and the one gluon exchange terms and with the covariant instantaneous approximation being employed in the calculations. Finally, we obtain the numerical values of the residues $0.103\,\rm GeV\sim0.224\,\rm GeV$ for $\Lambda_Q$, $0.143\,\rm GeV\sim0.215\,\rm GeV$ for $\Xi_Q^A$, $0.262\,\rm GeV\sim0.361\,\rm GeV$ for $\Sigma_Q^{(\ast)}$, $0.313\,\rm GeV\sim0.460\,\rm GeV$ for $\Xi_Q^{S(\ast)}$ and $0.473\,\rm GeV\sim0.571\,\rm GeV$ for $\Omega_Q^{(\ast)}$ in the ranges of the parameters in our model.

The type II supernova is considered as a candidate site for the production of heavy elements. Since the supernova produces an intense neutrino flux, neutrino scattering processes will impact element formation. We examine active-sterile neutrino conversion in this environment and find that it may help to produce the requisite neutron-to-seed ratio for synthesis of the r-process elements.

The Belle II experiment recently observed the decay $B^+ \to K^+ \nu \nu$ for the first time, with a measured value for the branching ratio of $ (2.3 \pm 0.7) \times 10^{-5}$. This result exhibits a $\sim 3\sigma$ deviation from the Standard Model (SM) prediction. The observed enhancement with respect to the Standard Model could indicate the presence of invisible light new physics. In this paper, we investigate whether this result can be accommodated in a minimal Higgs portal model, where the SM is extended by a singlet Higgs scalar that decays invisibly to dark sector states. We find that current and future bounds on invisible decays of the 125 GeV Higgs boson completely exclude a new scalar with a mass $\gtrsim 10$ GeV. On the other hand, the Belle II results can be successfully accommodated if the new scalar is lighter than $B$ mesons but heavier than kaons. We also investigate the cosmological implications of the new states and explore the possibility that they are part of an abelian Higgs extension of the SM. Future Higgs factories are expected to place stringent bounds on the invisible branching ratio of the 125 GeV Higgs boson, and will be able to definitively test the region of parameter space favored by the Belle II results.

Simple relations between $U(1)_F$ charges and modular weights of the superfields are derived and used to express the matrices with a minimum number of parameters.

The main aim of this paper is to present new sets of non-perturbative fragmentation functions (FFs) for $D^0$ and $D^+$ mesons at next-to-leading (NLO) and, for the first time, at next-to-next-to-leading order (NNLO) in the $\overline{\mathrm{MS}}$ factorization scheme with five massless quark flavors. This new determination of FFs is based on the QCD fit to the {\tt OPAL} experimental data for hadron production in the electron-positron single-inclusive annihilation (SIA). We discuss in detail the novel aspects of the methodology used in our analysis and the validity of obtained FFs by comparing with previous works in literature which have been carried out up to NLO accuracy. We will also incorporate the effect of charmed meson mass corrections into our QCD analysis and discuss the improvements upon inclusion of these effects. The uncertainties in the extracted FFs as well as in the corresponding observables are estimated using the "Hessian" approach. For a typical application, we use our new FFs to make theoretical predictions for the energy distributions of charmed mesons inclusively produced through the decay of unpolarized top quarks, to be measured at the CERN LHC. As a result of this analysis, suggestions are discussed for possible future studies on the current topic to consider any theory improvements and other available experimental observables.

We use ISAJET to perform a detailed comparison of the supersymmetry reach of the current Tevatron (100~pb$^{-1}$) with that of the Main Injector (2~fb$^{-1}$) and the proposed TeV33 upgrade designed to yield an integrated luminosity of 25~fb$^{-1}$. Our analysis is performed within the framework of the minimal supergravity model with gauge coupling unification and radiative electroweak symmetry breaking. For each of these three luminosity options, we delineate the regions of parameter space where jets plus missing energy plus 0, 1, 2 (opposite sign and same-sign dileptons), and 3 isolated lepton signals from the cascade decays of sparticles should be visible above standard model backgrounds. We compare these with the parameter regions where signals in the clean isolated dilepton and trilepton channels (from chargino/neutralino and slepton production) should be observable.

We discuss the modified top quark condensation model proposed in \cite{VZ2015}. This construction was inspired by the top - seesaw scenario, in which the extra heavy fermion $\chi$ is added that may be paired with the top quark. Besides, this model incorporates the ideas of the Little Higgs scenario, in which the $125$ GeV scalar particle appears as a Pseudo - Goldstone boson. This model admits (in addition to the $125$ GeV scalar boson $H$) the heavier scalar excitation $H^\prime$. We consider the region of parameters, where its mass is $M_{H^\prime} \sim 1$ TeV, the width of $H^\prime$ is $\Gamma_{H^\prime} \sim 0.3 M_{H^\prime}$, while the mass of the heavy fermion is $m_\chi \sim 1$ TeV. We find that in this model the value of the cross - section $\sigma_{pp \to H^\prime + X \to \gamma+\gamma + X}$ for $\sqrt{s}=13$ TeV is essentially smaller than the present experimental upper bound. Besides, we find, that for the chosen values of parameters there should exist the CP - even scalar boson with mass $\approx 2 m_\chi$ and very small width. In addition, the model predicts the existence of the extra neutral CP even scalar boson and the charged scalar boson with masses of the order of $1$ TeV.

The suppression of high-pT single-hadron spectra in heavy-ion collisions is usually interpreted as due to parton energy-loss of high-momentum quarks and gluons propagating in the plasma. Here, we discuss to what extent this partonic picture must be complemented by a picture of medium-modified hadronization. In particular, we show how color-exchange with the medium modifies the properties of color singlet-clusters arising from the parton branchings, producing a softening of the hadron spectra.

The large hierarchy between the Planck scale and the weak scale can be explained by the dynamical breaking of supersymmetry in strongly coupled gauge theories. Similarly, the hierarchy between the Planck scale and the energy scale of inflation may also originate from strong dynamics, which dynamically generate the inflaton potential. We present a model of the hidden sector which unifies these two ideas, i.e., in which the scales of inflation and supersymmetry breaking are provided by the dynamics of the same gauge group. The resultant inflation model is chaotic inflation with a fractional power-law potential in accord with the upper bound on the tensor-to-scalar ratio. The supersymmetry breaking scale can be much smaller than the inflation scale, so that the solution to the large hierarchy problem of the weak scale remains intact. As an intrinsic feature of our model, we find that the sgoldstino, which might disturb the inflationary dynamics, is automatically stabilized during inflation by dynamically generated corrections in the strongly coupled sector. This renders our model a field-theoretical realization of what is sometimes referred to as sgoldstino-less inflation.

We study the applications of non-extensive Tsallis statistics to high energy and hadron physics. These applications include studies of $pp$ collisions, equation of state of QCD, as well as Bose-Einstein condensation. We also analyze the connections of Tsallis statistics with thermofractals, and address some of the conceptual aspects of the fractal approach, which are expressed in terms of the renormalization group equation and the self-energy corrections to the parton mass. We associate these well-known concepts with the origins of the fractal structure in the quantum field theory.

We study the applications of non-extensive Tsallis statistics to high energy and hadron physics. These applications include studies of $pp$ collisions, equation of state of QCD, as well as Bose-Einstein condensation. We also analyze the connections of Tsallis statistics with thermofractals, and address some of the conceptual aspects of the fractal approach, which are expressed in terms of the renormalization group equation and the self-energy corrections to the parton mass. We associate these well-known concepts with the origins of the fractal structure in the quantum field theory.

We present the discovery prospects for a Z' resonance and some expected results for Z' diagnostic measurements at the LHC. The discovery reach is highly dependent on the energy and luminosities that may be attained at the LHC, and a number of energy and integrated luminosity scenarios are presented. In addition, the use of third generation quark final states for distinguishing between models and for measuring a forward-backward asymmetry is explored.

General neutrino-scalar couplings appear in many extensions of Standard Model. We can probe these neutrino-scalar couplings by leptonic decay of mesons and from heavy neutrino search. Our analysis improves the present limits to $|g_e|^2<1.9\times 10^{-6}$ and $|g_\mu|^2<1.9\times 10^{-7}$ at 90\% C.L. for massless scalars. For massive scalars we found for the first time the constraints for $g^2_{\alpha}$ couplings to be $10^{-6}-10^{-1}$ respectively for scalar masses between below 1 MeV and for 300 MeV.

The gravitational properties of cosmic strings in the Randall-Sundrum brane world scenario are investigated. Using a gauge in which the brane remains straight, the leading order corrections to the metric on the brane are determined. In contrast to their non-brane equivalents, these strings have an attractive 1/r^2 potential and a radially dependent deficit angle. These two effects alter many cosmological properties of the string, such as the formation of double images. As a result of the attractive force the string will collect matter as it moves through space.

We analyse the properties of generic models based on an SU(3) family symmetry providing a full description of quark charged lepton and neutrino masses and mixing angles. We show that a precise fit of the resulting fermion textures is consistent with CP being spontaneously broken in the flavour sector. The CP violating phases are determined by the scalar potential and we discuss how symmetries readily lead to a maximal phase controlling CP violation in the quark sector. In a specific model the CP violation to be expected in the neutrino sector is related to that in the quark sector and we determine this relation for two viable models. In addition to giving rise to the observed structure of quark and lepton masses this class of model solves both the CP and flavour problems normally associated with supersymmetric models. The flavour structure of the soft supersymmetry breaking terms is controlled by the family symmetry and we analyse some of the related phenomenological implications.

Results from direct detection experiments are typically interpreted by employing an assumption about the dark matter velocity distribution, with results presented in the $m_\chi-\sigma_n$ plane. Recently methods which are independent of the DM halo velocity distribution have been developed which present results in the $v_{min}-\tilde{g}$ plane, but these in turn require an assumption on the dark matter mass. Here we present an extension of these halo-independent methods for dark matter direct detection which does not require a fiducial choice of the dark matter mass. With a change of variables from $v_{min}$ to nuclear recoil momentum ($p_R$), the full halo-independent content of an experimental result for any dark matter mass can be condensed into a single plot as a function of a new halo integral variable, which we call $\tilde{h}(p_R)$. The entire family of conventional halo-independent $\tilde{g}(v_{min})$ plots for all DM masses are directly found from the single $\tilde{h}(p_R)$ plot through a simple rescaling of axes. By considering results in $\tilde{h}(p_R)$ space, one can determine if two experiments are inconsistent for all masses and all physically possible halos, or for what range of dark matter masses the results are inconsistent for all halos, without the necessity of multiple $\tilde{g}(v_{min})$ plots for different DM masses. We conduct a sample analysis comparing the CDMS II Si events to the null results from LUX, XENON10, and SuperCDMS using our method and discuss how the mass-independent limits can be strengthened by imposing the physically reasonable requirement of a finite halo escape velocity.

The high energy evolution equations that describe the evolution of hadronic amplitudes with energy are derived assuming eikonal interaction of the evolved hadronic wave function with the target. In this note we remark that this derivation allows a different interpretation, whereby the hadronic wave function is not evolved, but instead the evolution acts on the S - matrix operator. In this approach, analogous to the Heisenberg picture of Quantum mechanics, the scattering is not eikonal and additional boost provides for radiation of more gluons in the final state.

A wealth of astrophysical and cosmological observational evidence shows that the matter content of the universe is made of about 85$\%$ of non-baryonic dark matter. Huge experimental efforts have been deployed to look for the direct detection of dark matter via their scattering on target nucleons, their production in colliders, and their indirect detection via their annihilation products. Inelastic scattering of high-energy cosmic rays off dark matter particles populating the Milky Way halo would produce secondary gamma rays in the final state from the decay of the neutral pions produced in such interactions, providing a new avenue to probe dark matter properties. We compute here the sensitivity for H.E.S.S.-like observatory, a current-generation ground-based Cherenkov telescopes, to the expected gamma-ray flux from collisions of Galactic cosmic rays and dark matter in the center of the Milky Way. We also derive sensitivity prospects for the upcoming Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA) and Southern Wide-field Gamma-ray Observatory (SWGO). The expected sensitivity allows us to probe a poorly-constrained range of dark matter masses so far, ranging from keV to sub-GeV, and provide complementary constraints on the dark matter-proton scattering cross section traditionally probed by deep underground direct dark matter experiments.

We analyze the connections between the quark model (QM) and the description of hadrons in the low-momentum limit of heavy-baryon effective field theory in QCD. By using a three-flavor-index representation for the effective baryon fields, we show that the ``nonrelativistic'' constituent QM for baryon masses and moments is completely equivalent through O(m_s) to a parametrization of the relativistic field theory in a general spin--flavor basis. The flavor and spin variables can be identified with those of effective valence quarks. Conversely, the spin-flavor description clarifies the structure and dynamical interpretation of the chiral expansion in effective field theory, and provides a direct connection between the field theory and the semirelativistic models for hadrons used in successful dynamical calculations. This allows dynamical information to be incorporated directly into the chiral expansion. We find, for example, that the striking success of the additive QM for baryon magnetic moments is a consequence of the relative smallness of the non-additive spin-dependent corrections.

The $\eta^\prime g^* g^{(*)}$ effective vertex function is calculated in the QCD hard-scattering approach, taking into account the $\eta^\prime$-meson mass. We work in the approximation in which only one non-leading Gegenbauer moment for both the quark-antiquark and the gluonic light-cone distribution amplitudes for the $\eta^\prime$-meson is kept. The vertex function with one off-shell gluon is shown to have the form (valid for $| q_1^2 | > m_{\eta^\prime}^2$) $F_{\eta^\prime g^* g} (q_1^2, 0, m_{\eta^\prime}^2) = m_{\eta^\prime}^2 H(q_1^2)/(q_1^2 - m_{\eta^\prime}^2)$, where $H(q_1^2)$ is a slowly varying function, derived analytically in this paper. The resulting vertex function is in agreement with the phenomenologically inferred form of this vertex obtained from an analysis of the CLEO data on the $\eta^\prime$-meson energy spectrum in the decay $\Upsilon(1S) \to \eta^\prime X$. We also present an interpolating formula for the vertex function $F_{\eta^\prime g^* g} (q_1^2, 0, m_{\eta^\prime}^2)$ for the space-like region of the virtuality $q_1^2$, which satisfies the QCD anomaly normalization for on-shell gluons and the perturbative-QCD result for the gluon virtuality $| q_1^2| \gtrsim 2$ GeV$^2$.

Deep learning was recently successfully used in deriving symmetry transformations that preserve important physics quantities. Being completely agnostic, these techniques postpone the identification of the discovered symmetries to a later stage. In this letter we propose methods for examining and identifying the group-theoretic structure of such machine-learned symmetries. We design loss functions which probe the subalgebra structure either during the deep learning stage of symmetry discovery or in a subsequent post-processing stage. We illustrate the new methods with examples from the U(n) Lie group family, obtaining the respective subalgebra decompositions. As an application to particle physics, we demonstrate the identification of the residual symmetries after the spontaneous breaking of non-Abelian gauge symmetries like SU(3) and SU(5) which are commonly used in model building.

As an application to particle physics, we demonstrate the identification of the residual symmetries after the spontaneous breaking of non-Abelian gauge symmetries like SU(3) and SU(5) which are commonly used in model building.

A technique for the simulation of dark bremsstrahlung for electrons and muons in GEANT4 is presented. The total cross section is calculated using the Weizs\"{a}cker-Williams approximation and the outgoing kinematics are produced by scaling events produced in MadGraph/MadEvent to lower incident lepton energies, allowing the simulation to account for thick targets and lepton sources without fixed energies. Compared with dedicated samples produced at an arbitrary particle energy, typical precision of better than 5% is achieved.

We consider the noncommutative Standard Model that contains Lorentz symmetry violation as a subset of the Standard Model extension. We introduce a constant electromagnetic field as a background to derive mutual relations between the free parameters of both theories. As the Lorentz violation parameters of the Standard Model extension are extensively explored in different experiments and many stringent bounds on these parameters are available, we can find new bounds on the scale of noncommutativity of the order of a few to tens of teraelectron volts.

We have shown, that the possibility of the existence of the mixed phase of the non-uniform chiral (NCh) and the color superconducting (2SC) ground state depends significantly on the choice of the parameters and type of the regularization scheme. Our calculations indicates, that in the 3d cut-off regularization scheme, the mixed region of the NCh and the 2SC phases exists for a broad set of NJL model parameters. However, in the Schwinger regularization scheme, if parameters are fitted to the physical quantities in the vacuum, then, the mixed region of the NCh and the 2SC phases does not exists.

Neutrino interactions with protons and neutrons probe their deep structure and may reveal new physics. The higher the neutrino energy, the sharper the probe. So far, the neutrino-nucleon ($\nu N$) cross section is known across neutrino energies from a few hundred MeV to a few PeV. Soon, ultra-high-energy (UHE) cosmic neutrinos, with energies above 100 PeV, could take us farther. So far, they have evaded discovery, but upcoming UHE neutrino telescopes endeavor to find them. We present the first detailed measurement forecasts of the UHE $\nu N$ cross section, geared to IceCube-Gen2, one of the leading detectors under planning. We use state-of-the-art ingredients in every stage of our forecasts: in the UHE neutrino flux predictions, the neutrino propagation inside Earth, the emission of neutrino-induced radio signals in the detector, their propagation and detection, and the treatment of backgrounds. After 10 years, if at least a few tens of UHE neutrino-induced events are detected, IceCube-Gen2 could measure the $\nu N$ cross section at center-of-mass energies of $\sqrt{s} \approx 10-100$ TeV for the first time, with a precision comparable to that of its theory prediction.

Leptoquarks are one of the possible candidates for explaining various anomalies in flavour physics. Nonetheless, their existence is yet to be confirmed from experimental side. In this paper we have shown how zeros of single photon tree-level amplitude can be used to extract information about leptoquarks in case of $e$-$\gamma$ colliders. Small number of standard model backgrounds keep the signal clean in this kind of colliders. Unlike other colliders, the zeros of single photon amplitude here depend on $\sqrt{s}$ as well as the mass of leptoquark along with its electric charge. We perform a PYTHIA based simulation for reconstructing the leptoquark from its decay products of first generation and estimating the background with luminosity of 100 fb$^{-1}$. Our analysis is done for all the leptoquarks that can be seen at $e$-$\gamma$ collider with three different masses (70 GeV, 650 GeV and 1 TeV) and three different centre of momentum energy (200 GeV, 2 TeV and 3 TeV). The effects of non-monochromatic photons on the zeros of amplitude under laser backscattering and equivalent photon approximation have also been addressed.

The Resummed Rate for B -> X_s gamma

In this paper we investigate the effect of the resummation of threshold logs on the rate for B -> X_s gamma. We calculate the differential rate dGamma/dE_gamma including the infinite set of terms of the form alpha_s^n log^{n+1}(1-x) and alpha_s^n log^n(1-x) in the Sudakov exponent. The resummation is potentially important since these logs turn into log(2E_{cut}/m_b), when the rate is integrated from the lower cut x=2E_{cut}/m_b to 1. The resummed rate is then convolved with models for the structure function to study whether or not the logs will be enhanced due to the fermi motion of the heavy quark. A detailed discussion of the accuracy of the calculation with and without the inclusion of the non-perturbative effects dictated by the B meson structure function is given. We also investigate the first moment with respect to (1-x), which can be used to measure \bar\Lambda and lambda_1. It is shown that there are some two loop corrections which are just as large as the alpha_s^2 beta_0 term, which are usually expected to dominate. We conclude that, for the present energy cut, the threshold logs do not form a dominant sub-series and therefore their resummation is unnecessary. Thus, the prospects for predicting the rate for B -> X_s gamma accurately, given the present energy cut, are promising.

The narrow $D_{s0}^{\ast}$(2317) and broad $D_0^{\ast}$(2300-2400) charmed scalar mesons and their radial excitations are described in a coupled-channel quark model that also reproduces the properties of the light scalar nonet. All two-meson channels containing ground-state pseudoscalars and vectors are included. The parameters are chosen fixed at published values, except for the overall coupling constant $\lambda$, which is fine-tuned to reproduce the $D_{s0}^{\ast}$(2317) mass, and a damping constant $\alpha$ for subthreshold contributions. Variations of $\lambda$ and $D_0^{\ast}$(2300-2400) pole postions are studied for different $\alpha$ values. Calculated cross sections for $S$-wave $DK$ and $D\pi$ scattering, as well as resonance pole positions, are given for the value of $\alpha$ that fits the light scalars. The thus predicted radially excited state ${D_{s0}^*}'$(2850), with a width of about 50 MeV, seems to have been observed already.

Comprehensive - that is, gauge and family - unification using spinors has many attractive features, but it has been challenged to explain chirality. Here, by combining an orbifold construction with more traditional ideas, we address that difficulty. Our candidate model features three chiral families and leads to an acceptable result for quantitative unification of couplings. A potential target for accelerator and astronomical searches emerges.

GRACE is one of such systems and it has achieved much success in analyzing experimental data. Since we deal with the cross section whose value can be given by calculating hundreds of Feynman diagrams, we manage the large scale calculation, so that effective symbolic manipulation, the treat of singularity in the numerical integration are required. The talk will describe the software design of GRACE system and computational techniques in the GRACE.

We discuss the properties of ghost and gluon propagators in the deep infrared momentum region of Landau gauge Yang-Mills theory. Within the framework of Dyson-Schwinger equations and the functional renormalization group we demonstrate that it is only a matter of infrared boundary conditions whether infrared scaling or decoupling occurs. We argue that the second possibility is at odds with global BRST symmetry in the confining phase. For this purpose we improve upon existing truncation schemes in particular with respect to transversality and renormalization.

For this purpose we improve upon existing truncation schemes in particular with respect to transversality and renormalization.

In this paper we suggest an {\it iterative} algorithm to compute automatically the scattering matrix elements of any given effective lagrangian, $\Gamma$. By exploiting the relation between $\Gamma$ and the connected Green function generator, $Z$, we provide a formula which does not require the use of the Feynman graphs and it is suitable to implement a numerical routine. By means of this algorithm we have built a relatively simple and fast fortran code which we have used to calculate, at the tree level, the rate of four fermion production at LEP I\negthinspace{I} (finding a very good agreement with previous calculation) with and without the emission of one observable photon.

A model for anomalous $J/\Psi$ suppression in high energy heavy ion collisions is presented. As the additional suppression mechanism beyond standard nuclear absorption inelastic $J/\Psi$ scattering with hadronic matter is considered. Hadronic matter is modeled as an evolving multi-component gas of point-like non-interacting particles (MCHG). Estimates for the sound velocity of the MCHG are given and the equation of state is compared with Lattice QCD data in the vicinity of the deconfinement phase transition. The approximate cooling pattern caused by longitudinal expansion is presented. It is shown that under these conditions the resulting $J/\Psi$ suppression pattern agrees well with NA38 and NA50 data.

We study the factorial moments (Fq), the factorial cumulants (Kq) and the ratio of Kq to Fq (Hq = Kq=Fq) in pp/pp collisions using an updated approach, in which the multiplicity distribution is related to the eikonal function. The QCD inspired eikonal model adopted contains contributions of quark-quark, quark-gluon and gluon-gluon interactions. Our work shows that the approach can reproduce the collision energy dependence of the Fq moments, correctly predicts that the first minimum of the Hq lies around q = 5 and qualitatively reproduces the oscillations of the Hq moments, as shown in the experimental data and predicted by QCD at preasymptotic energy. The result of this study seems to indicate that the Hq oscillations are manifestation of semihard component in the multiparticle production process. Predictions for multiplicity distribution and Hq moments at the LHC energy of 14 TeV are presented.

Neutrino Masses and the LHC: Testing Type II Seesaw

We demonstrate how to systematically test a well-motivated mechanism for neutrino mass generation (Type-II seesaw) at the LHC, in which a Higgs triplet is introduced. In the optimistic scenarios with a small Higgs triplet vacuum expectation value vd < 10^{-4} GeV, one can look for clean signals of lepton number violation in the decays of doubly charged and singly charged Higgs bosons to distinguish the Normal Hierarchy (NH), the Inverted Hierarchy (IH) and the Quasi-Degenerate (QD) spectrum for the light neutrino masses. The observation of either H+ --> tau+ nubar or H+ --> e+ nubar will be particularly robust for the spectrum test since they are independent of the unknown Majorana phases. The H++ decays moderately depend on a Majorana phase Phi2 in the NH, but sensitively depend on Phi1 in the IH. In a less favorable scenario vd > 2 10^{-4} GeV, when the leptonic channels are suppressed, one needs to observe the decays H+ --> W+ H_1 and H+ --> t bbar to confirm the triplet-doublet mixing which in turn implies the existence of the same gauge-invariant interaction between the lepton doublet and the Higgs triplet responsible for the neutrino mass generation. In the most optimistic situation, vd approx 10^{-4} GeV, both channels of the lepton pairs and gauge boson pairs may be available simultaneously. The determination of their relative branching fractions would give a measurement for the value of vd.
