We consider the effective field theory of the NN system in a separable representation. The pionic part of the effective potential is included nonperturbatively and approximated by a separable potential. The use of a separable representation allows for the explicit solution of the Lippmann-Schwinger equation and a consistent renormalization procedure. The phase shifts in the $^1S_0$ channel are calculated to subleading order.

We study the feasibility of observing an invisibly decaying Z' at the LHC through the process pp -> ZZ' -> l+l-XX*, where X is any neutral, (quasi-) stable particle, whether a Standard Model (SM) neutrino or a new state. The measurement of the invisible width through this process facilitates both a model independent measurement of Gamma_{Z' -> \bar{nu} nu} and potentially detection of light neutral hidden states. Such particles appear in many models where the Z' is a messenger to a hidden sector, and also if dark matter is charged under the U(1)' of the Z'. We find that with as few as 30 fb^-1 of data the invisibly decaying Z' can be observed at 5 sigma over SM background for a 1 TeV Z' with reasonable couplings. If the Z' does not couple to leptons and therefore cannot be observed in the Drell-Yan channel, this process becomes a discovery mode. For reasonable hidden sector couplings, masses up to 2 TeV can be probed at the LHC. If the Z' does couple to leptons, then the rate for this invisible decay is predicted by on-peak data and the presence of additional hidden states can be searched for. With 100 fb^-1 of data, the presence of excess decays to hidden states can be excluded at 95% C.L. if they comprise 20-30% of the total invisible cross section.

A unique feature of generalised parton distributions is their relation to the QCD energy-momentum tensor. In particular, they provide access to the mechanical properties of the proton i.e. the distributions of pressure and shear stress induced by its quark and gluon structure. In principle the pressure distribution can be experimentally determined in a model-independent way from a dispersive analysis of deeply virtual Compton scattering data through the measurement of the subtraction constant. In practice the kinematic coverage and accuracy of existing experimental data make this endeavour a challenge. Elaborating on recent global fits of deeply virtual Compton scattering measurements using artificial neural networks, our analysis presents the current knowledge on this subtraction constant and assesses the impact of the most frequent systematic assumptions made in this field of research. This study will pave the way for future works when more precise data will become available, e.g. obtained in the foreseen electron-ion colliders EIC and EIcC.

As is well-known, there exist totally three CP-violating phases in the leptonic sector if three ordinary neutrinos are massive Majorana particles. In this short note, we raise the question whether the number of sufficient and necessary conditions for CP conservation in the leptonic sector with massive Majorana neutrinos is three or four. An intuitive answer to this question would be three, which is also the total number of independent CP-violating phases. However, we give a counter example, in which three conditions are in general not sufficient for CP conservation. Only for all the lepton masses and mixing angles within their experimentally allowed ranges can we demonstrate that it is possible to find out three weak-basis invariants, which should be vanishing to guarantee leptonic CP conservation.

In many extensions of the standard model, the Higgs sector often contains an additional pseudoscalar boson. A good example is the SU(3) simplest little Higgs model, which accommodates a light pseudoscalar boson $\eta$ with quite different characteristics from those in other multi-Higgs-doublet models. We study various phenomenological signatures of the $\eta$ at the LHC. In particular, we calculate in details both production and decays in the Drell-Yan type channel $q \bar{q} \to Z/Z' \to h \eta$, and in the associated production with a $t\bar t$ pair, $gg (q\bar q) \to t \bar t \eta$. We emphasize the $\tau^+ \tau^-$ decay mode of the $\eta$ boson when its mass is below the $b\bar b$ threshold. We show that $t\bar t \eta$ production is in fact large enough to give a sizable number of events while suppressing the backgrounds. We also comment on the direct gluon fusion process and the indirect decay from the heavy $T$ quark ($T \to t \eta$)

We propose a new solution to the origin of dark energy. We suggest that it was created dynamically from the condensate of a singlet neutrino at a late epoch of the early Universe through its effective self interaction. This singlet neutrino is also the Dirac partner of one of the three observed neutrinos, hence dark energy is related to neutrino mass. The onset of this condensate formation in the early Universe is also related to matter density and offers an explanation of the coincidence problem of why dark energy (70%) and total matter (30%) are comparable at the present time. We demonstrate this idea in a model of neutrino mass with (right-handed) singlet neutrinos and a singlet scalar.

Since the fifties, isospin relations have been used in particle physics to understand the properties of multihadrons final states. In the case of the tau lepton, they allow to relate the partial widths of the decay modes to the cross sections of e+e- annihilations. A pedagogical introduction to the construction of isospin states for meson systems and an updated review of the use of isospin relations in the study of the tau lepton are presented.

The Standard Model is extended minimally with a new flavor-violating family symmetry ${\rm U(1)}_\lambda$, which acts only on leptons including the right-handed neutrinos. The model is anomaly free with family-dependent ${\rm U(1)}_\lambda$ charges, and consistent with the observed neutrino mixing angles. It predicts charged lepton flavor-violating processes mediated by a new gauge boson. Under certain conditions, the smallness of $\theta_{13}$ of neutrino mixing can be justified in terms of the muon-to-tau mass ratio, at the same time explaining the electron-to-tau large mass hierarchy.

The existence and the properties of self-bound quark matter in the NJL model at zero temperature are investigated in mean-field approximation, focusing on inhomogeneous structures with one-dimensional spatial modulations. It is found that the most stable homogeneous solutions which have previously been interpreted as schematic quark droplets are unstable against formation of a one-dimensional soliton-antisoliton lattice. The solitons repel each other, so that the minimal energy per quark is realized in the single-soliton limit. The properties of the solitons and their interactions are discussed in detail, and the effect of vector interactions is estimated. The results may be relevant for the dynamics of expanding quark matter.

In this article we examine the hypothesis that the highest energy cosmic rays are complex nuclei from extragalactic sources. Under reasonable physical assumptions, we show that the nearby metally rich starburst galaxies (M82 and NGC 253) can produce all the events observed above the ankle. This requires diffusion of particles below $10^{20}$ eV in extragalactic magnetic fields $B \approx 15$ nG. Above $10^{19}$ eV, the model predicts the presence of significant fluxes of medium mass and heavy nuclei with small rate of change of composition. Notwithstanding, the most salient feature of the starburst-hypothesis is a slight anisotropy induced by iron debris just before the spectrum-cutoff.

Here we review our results, obtained using isospin-rotated $\tau^-\to\pi^-\pi^0\nu_\tau$ data instead of $e^+e^-\to\pi^+\pi^-$ measurements, and compare them to other approaches. Consistency of the tau-based and lattice results hints to underestimated uncertainties in the $e^+e^-$ data. If that is the case, the theory prediction of the muon $g-2$ would only lie at $\sim 2\sigma$ from its measured value.

Electroweak gauge boson pair production is a very important process at the LHC as it probes the non-abelian structure of electroweak interactions and is a background process for many searches. We present full next-to-leading order predictions for the production cross sections and distributions of on-shell massive gauge boson pair production in the Standard Model, including both QCD and electroweak corrections. The hierarchy between the ZZ, WW and WZ channels, observed in the transverse momentum distributions, will be analyzed. We will also present a comparison with experimental data for the total cross sections including a study of the theoretical uncertainties.

Electroweak gauge boson pair production is a very important process at the LHC as it probes the non-abelian structure of electroweak interactions and is a background process for many searches. We present full next-to-leading order predictions for the production cross sections and distributions of on-shell massive gauge boson pair production in the Standard Model, including both QCD and electroweak corrections. The hierarchy between the ZZ, WW and WZ channels, observed in the transverse momentum distributions, will be analyzed. We will also present a comparison with experimental data for the total cross sections including a study of the theoretical uncertainties.

We perform an exhaustive analysis of all possible breaking patterns arising from $S_4\rtimes H_{CP}$ in a new {\it tri-direct CP approach} to the minimal seesaw model with two right-handed neutrinos, and construct a realistic flavour model along these lines. According to this approach, separate residual flavour and CP symmetries persist in the charged lepton, `atmospheric' and `solar' right-handed neutrino sectors, i.e. we have {\it three} symmetry sectors rather than the usual two of the {\it semi-direct CP approach} (charged leptons and neutrinos). Following the {\it tri-direct CP approach}, we find twenty-six kinds of independent phenomenologically interesting mixing patterns. Eight of them predict a normal ordering (NO) neutrino mass spectrum and the other eighteen predict an inverted ordering (IO) neutrino mass spectrum. For each phenomenologically interesting mixing pattern, the corresponding predictions for the PMNS matrix, the lepton mixing parameters, the neutrino masses and the effective mass in neutrinoless double beta decay are given in a model independent way. One breaking pattern with NO spectrum and two breaking patterns with IO spectrum corresponds to form dominance. We find that the lepton mixing matrices of three kinds of breaking patterns with NO spectrum and one form dominance breaking pattern with IO spectrum preserve the first column of the tri-bimaximal (TB) mixing matrix, i.e. yield a TM1 mixing matrix.

The dark axion portal is a coupling of an axion-like particle to a dark photon kinetically mixed with the visible photon. We show how this portal, when applied to the relaxion, can lead to cosmological relaxation of the weak scale using dark photon production. The key backreaction mechanism involves the Schwinger effect: As long as electroweak symmetry is unbroken, Schwinger production of massless Standard Model fermions, which carry dark millicharges, suppresses the dark photon production. Once the electroweak symmetry is broken, the fermions acquire mass and the suppression is lifted. An enhanced dark photon dissipation then traps the relaxion at a naturally small weak scale. Our model thus provides a novel link between the phenomenological dark axion portal, dark photons, and the hierarchy problem of the Higgs mass.

In this talk we will discuss how inflation can be embedded within a minimal extension of the Standard Model where the inflaton carries the Standard Model charges. There is no need of an ad-hoc scalar field to be introduced in order to explain the temperature anisotropy of the cosmic microwave background radiation, all the ingredients are present within a minimal supersymmetric Standard Model. The model is robust enough to provide a successful exit from inflation with all observed matter in the universe. This is a triumph for an inflationary paradigm which has always begged a simple question: can we identify the inflaton in a laboratory. We will briefly discuss how LHC can shed some insight into the inflaton.

In quantum field theory, the phase space integration is an essential part in all theoretical calculations of cross sections and decay widths. It is also needed for computing the imaginary part of a physical amplitude. A key problem is to get the phase space formula expressed in terms of any chosen invariant masses in an $n$-body system. We propose a graphic method to quickly get the phase space formula of any given invariant masses intuitively for an arbitrary $n$-body system in general $D$-dimensional spacetime, with the involved momenta in any reference frame. The method also greatly simplifies the phase space calculation just as what Feynman diagrams do in calculating scattering amplitudes.

Quantitative corrections are estimated to three of Franklin's sum rules involving the masses of baryons containing at least one charmed quark and to three analogous sum rules for baryons containing at least one bottom quark. The corrections arise from three-body contributions to baryon interaction energies and are calculated from a semiempirical formula for the colormagnetic contributions to baryon masses.

We consider a supergravity model that has the modular $A_4$ symmetry and discuss the interplay between the neutrino mixing and inflation. The model contains right-handed neutrinos that have the Majorana masses and additional Yukawa couplings to the waterfall field. In the model an active neutrino is massless and we find that only the inverted hierarchy is allowed and the Majorana phase is predicted to be around $\pm (120\text{--}180)^\circ$ from the observed neutrino mixing data. In the early universe, one of right-handed sneutrinos plays the role of the inflaton field. Focusing on the subcritical regime of the hybrid inflation that is consistent with the cosmic microwave background data, we analyze the dynamics of the scalar sector and derive an upper bound $\mathcal{O}(10^{10})~{\rm GeV}$ on the scale of the Majorana mass.

We discuss the sensitivity of a 100 TeV pp collider to heavy particles decaying to top-antitop final states. This center-of-mass energy, together with an integrated luminosity of 10 ab-1, can produce heavy particles in the mass range of several tens of teraelectronvolts (TeV). A Monte Carlo study has been performed using boosted-top techniques to reduce QCD background for the reconstruction of heavy particles with masses in the range of 8-20 TeV, and various widths. In particular, we have studied two models that predict heavy states, a model with an extra gauge boson (Zprime) and with a Kaluza-Klein (KK) excitation of the gluon (gKK). We estimate the sensitive values of $\sigma \times$Br of about 2 (4) fb for Zprime (gKK), with a corresponding mass reach of 13 (20) TeV.

The symmetric and antisymmetric spin-orbit forces (SLS and ALS) in the YN interaction are investigated for relative P-wave systems by a valence quark model with the instanton-induced interaction (III). The size of the adiabatic potential at the zero range is shown for each of the YN channels. The nonlocal RGM potential of the LS and ALS forces are also shown for typical YN channels. The size of ALS is comparable to SLS. The channel dependence of ALS, which is determined by the flavor SU(3) symmetry when the one-gluon exchange (OGE) and/or the meson exchange interaction are used, deviates after introducing III. In most of the two-baryon channels, including the two-nucleon channel, the spin-orbit force of the YN interaction is strong. A few exceptional channels, however, are found where III and OGE are canceled to each other, and the spin-orbit force becomes small.

The correspondence between theories in anti-de Sitter space and conformal field theories in physical space-time leads to an analytic, semiclassical model for strongly-coupled QCD. Light-front holography allows hadronic amplitudes in the AdS fifth dimension to be mapped to frame-independent light-front wavefunctions of hadrons in physical space-time, thus providing a relativistic description of hadrons at the amplitude level. We identify the AdS coordinate $z$ with an invariant light-front coordinate $\zeta$ which separates the dynamics of quark and gluon binding from the kinematics of constituent spin and internal orbital angular momentum. The result is a single-variable light-front Schr\"odinger equation for QCD which determines the eigenspectrum and the light-front wavefunctions of hadrons for general spin and orbital angular momentum. The mapping of electromagnetic and gravitational form factors in AdS space to their corresponding expressions in light-front theory confirms this correspondence. Some novel features of QCD are discussed, including the consequences of confinement for quark and gluon condensates and the behavior of the QCD coupling in the infrared. The distinction between static structure functions such as the probability distributions computed from the square of the light-front wavefunctions versus dynamical structure functions which include the effects of rescattering is emphasized. A new method for computing the hadronization of quark and gluon jets at the amplitude level, an event amplitude generator, is outlined.

A detailed discussion is given of the analysis of recent data to obtain improved upper bounds on the couplings $|U_{e4}|^2$ and $|U_{\mu 4}|^2$ for a mainly sterile neutrino mass eigenstate $\nu_4$. Using the excellent agreement among ${\cal F}t$ values for superallowed nuclear beta decay, an improved upper limit is derived for emission of a $\nu_4$. The agreement of the ratios of branching ratios $R^{(\pi)}_{e/\mu}=BR(\pi^+ \to e^+ \nu_e)/BR(\pi^+ \to \mu^+ \nu_\mu)$, $R^{(K)}_{e/\mu}$, $R^{(D_s)}_{e/\tau}$, $R^{(D_s)}_{\mu/\tau}$, and $R^{(D)}_{e/\tau}$, and the branching ratios $BR(B^+\rightarrow e^+\nu_e)$ and $BR(B^+\rightarrow \mu^+\nu_\mu)$ decays with predictions of the Standard Model, is utilized to derive new constraints on $\nu_4$ emission covering the $\nu_4$ mass range from MeV to GeV. We also discuss constraints from peak search experiments probing for emission of a $\nu_4$ via lepton mixing, as well as constraints from pion beta decay, CKM unitarity, $\mu$ decay, leptonic $\tau$ decay, and other experimental inputs.

Anomaly mediated supersymmetry breaking (AMSB), when implemented in MSSM is known to suffer from the problem of negative slepton mass squared leading to breakdown of electric charge conservation. We show however that when MSSM is extended to explain small neutrino masses by including a pair of superheavy Higgs triplet superfields (the type II seesaw mechanism), the slepton masses can be deflected from the pure AMSB trajectory and become positive. In a simple model we present in this paper, the seesaw scale is about $10^{13}-10^{14}{\rm GeV}$. Gauge coupling unification can be maintained by embedding the triplet to SU(5) {\bf 15}-multiplet. In this scenario, bino is the LSP and its mass is nearly degenerate with NLSP slepton when the triplet mass is right around the seesaw scale.

In theories of Partial Compositeness the top quark is a mixture of a composite and an elementary state, and as a consequence its interactions with gauge bosons are expected to deviate from those of a point-like object. At sufficiently large energies, such deviations cannot be parametrized by the leading effective field theory operators and form factors (i.e. energy dependent interactions) must be introduced. In this work, we argue that such effects might appear at relatively low energies with interesting phenomenological consequences. In analogy to the proton electromagnetic interactions, we devise a simplified phenomenological model that parametrizes the top-quark interactions with gluons in terms of two form factors. We study the implications of these interactions in top-quark and heavy top-partner pair production at a hadron collider.

In the context of the production of sneutrinos through Hawking evaporation of primordial black holes (PBH), we have studied soft leptogenesis in the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM) with heavy right handed neutrinos. Depending upon different conditions on the Hawking evaporation temperature of the PBH and the initial Hawking temperature of the PBH with the sneutrinos's mass which has lepton number violating decay modes, we have discussed how the gravitino problem could be easily avoided in leptogenesis in SUSYGUT theories. For this, one is required to consider that the PBH energy density dominates the energy budget of the universe over the inflaton field. We have shown three possible cases for which the successful generation of baryonic asymmetry is possible. In one case, for the generation of baryonic asymmetry, Shakharov's out-of-equilibrium condition is required whereas in the other two cases, it is found to be not required. The first case is somewhat similar to conventional soft leptogenesis, where for avoiding gravitino problem, $B$ parameter is required to be lower than the weak scale. However in those later two cases, gravitino problem can be easily avoided and the soft breaking $B$ parameter could be naturally at the weak scale for PBH mass greater than about $3 \times 10^{26}$ GeV. From experimental constraint of non-observation of $\mu \rightarrow e \gamma$, the allowed region of typical mass scale of some supersymmetric particles and the $|A|$ parameter is also discussed.

We analyse the parallel hybrid texture structures in the charged lepton and the neutrino sector. These parallel hybrid texture structures have physical implications as they cannot be obtained from arbitrary lepton mass matrices through weak basis transformations. The total sixty parallel hybrid texture structures can be grouped into twelve classes, and all the hybrid textures in the same class have identical physical implications. We examine all the twelve classes under the assumption of non-factorizable phases in the neutrino mass matrix. Five out of the total twelve classes are found to be phenomenologically disallowed. We study the phenomenological implications of the allowed classes for 1-3 mixing angle, Majorana and Dirac-type $CP$ violating phases. Interesting constraints on effective Majorana mass are obtained for all the allowed classes.

Many well-motivated extensions of the Standard Model predict the existence of new light species that may have been produced in the early universe. Prominent examples include axions, sterile neutrinos, gravitinos, dark photons, and more. The gravitational influence of light relics leaves imprints in the cosmic microwave background fluctuations, the large-scale structure of the universe and the primordial element abundances. In this paper, we detail the physics of cosmological light relics, and describe how measurements of their relic density and mass serve as probes of physics beyond the Standard Model. A measurement of the light relic density at the precision of upcoming cosmological surveys will point the way toward new physics or severely constrain the range of viable extensions to the Standard Model.

We calculate the E1 transition widths of higher vector charmonium states into the spin-triplet 2P states in three typical potential models, and discuss the possibility to detect these 2P states via these E1 transitions. We attempt to clarify the nature of some recently observed X,Y,Z states by comparing them with these 2P charmonium states in these E1 transitions. In particular, the calculated branching ratios of $\psi(4040),\psi(4160)\to \chi^{'}_{c_J}\gamma$ (J=0,1,2) are found to be in the range of $10^{-4}-10^{-3}$, and sensitive to the 3S-2D mixing of $\psi(4040)$ and $\psi(4160)$. The mixing angle may be constrained by measuring $\psi(4040),\psi(4160)\to Z(3930)\gamma$, if Z(3930) is identified with the $\chi^{'}_{c_2}$ state, and then be used in measuring $\chi^{'}_{c_{0,1}}$ states. These processes can be studied experimentally at $e^+e^-$ colliders such as BEPCII/BESIII and CESR/CLEO.

The experimental determination of low energy pi K scattering phase shifts would assist in determining scattering lengths as well as low energy constants of chiral perturbation theory for which sum rules have been constructed. The FOCUS collaboration has presented evidence for interference pheomena from their analysis of D_l4 decays based on decay amplitudes suitable for a cascade decay D -> K* -> K pi. We point out that if the well-known full five body kinematics are taken into account, pi K scattering phases may be extracted. We also point out that other distributions considered in the context of K_l4 decays can be applied to charm meson decays to provide constraints on violation of |Delta I|=1/2 rule and T-violation.

A simple relativistic model is suggested that elucidates qualitatively the quark-antiquark distribution within virtual photon. The diffractive hadroproduction in DIS initiated by highly virtual photon $\gamma ^{*}(Q^2)$ is discussed in more detail. The main result is that the contribution of large transverse scale $q\bar q$-fluctuations of the photon is just sufficient to produce the cross section of its hadron-like strong interaction (in particular, its diffraction into hadrons) of the same $Q^2$-dependence as the total cross section of $\gamma ^{*}p$-interaction. It is why observed in DIS fraction of photon diffractive hadroproduction in $\gamma^{*}p$\enspace interaction is quite large and does not vary with $Q^2$.

Minimal Dark Matter (MDM) is a theoretical framework highly appreciated for its minimality and yet its predictivity. Of the two only viable candidates singled out in the original analysis, the scalar eptaplet has been found to decay too quickly to be around today, while the fermionic quintuplet is now being probed by indirect Dark Matter (DM) searches. It is therefore timely to critically review the MDM paradigm, possibly pointing out generalizations of this framework. We propose and explore two distinct directions. One is to abandon the assumption of DM electric neutrality in favor of absolutely stable, millicharged DM candidates which are part of $SU(2)_{\text{L}}$ multiplets with integer isospin. Another possibility is to lower the cutoff of the model, which was originally fixed at the Planck scale, to allow for DM decays. We find new viable MDM candidates and study their phenomenology in detail.

CP violation in $B$ decays is reviewed in the Standard Model (SM) and beyond the SM. The present explanation of CP violation in terms of a phase in the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa (CKM) matrix can be tested through a variety of CP asymmetries in neutral and charged $B$ decays. Usually, new mechanisms of CP nonconservation enter via $B-\bar{B}$ mixing and violate SM constraints on the CKM parameters in a few characteristic ways. Different models can be partially distinguished by penguin-dominated $B$ decay rate measurements. In radiative decays, large mixing-induced asymmetries may occur due to new contributions to the decay amplitude.

We obtain analytical formulas which connect the neutrino masses and the leptonic mixing matrix with the entries in the mass matrix for the approximation in which the charged lepton mixing matrix is the unit matrix. We also extract the CP violation phase and determine the conditions in which this is present.

It has been shown that QED in (1+4)-dimensional space-time, with the fifth dimension compactified on a circle, leads to CP violation (CPV). Depending on fermionic boundary conditions, CPV may be either explicit (through the Scherk--Schwarz mechanism), or spontaneous (via the Hosotani mechanism). The fifth component of the gauge field acquires (at the one-loop level) a non-zero vacuum expectation value. In the presence of two fermionic fields, this leads to spontaneous CPV in the case of CP-symmetric boundary conditions. Phenomenological consequences are illustrated by a calculation of the electric dipole moment for the fermionic zero-modes.

We study the chiral crossover, the spectra of light-light and of static-light mesons and the deconfinement crossover at finite temperature T. Our framework is the confining and chiral invariant quark model, related to truncated Coulomb gauge QCD. Since we are dealing with light quarks, where the linear potential dominates the quark condensate and the spectrum, we only specialize in the linear confining potential for the quark-antiquark interaction. We utilize T dependent string tensions previously fitted from lattice QCD data, and a fit of previously computed dynamically generated constituent quark masses. We scan the T effects on the constituent quark mass, on the meson spectra and on the polyakov loop.

Based on the color dipole representation, we investigate consequences for the $\gamma^{*}\gamma^{*},\gamma^{*}\gamma$ scattering of the finding by Fadin, Kuraev and Lipatov that incorporation of asymptotic freedom into the BFKL equation makes the QCD pomeron a series of isolated poles in the angular momentum plane. We present parameter-free predictions for the vacuum exchange contribution to the photon structure function which agree well with OPAL and L3 determinations. A good agreement is found between our predictions for the energy and photon virtuality dependence of the photon-photon cross section $\sigma^{\gamma^*\gamma^*}(W,Q^2,P^2)$ and the recent data taken by the L3 Collaboration.

The perturbative side incorporates new results, whose main features are summarized. The resolution of the lattice data is good enough to constrain the scale choice of $\alpha_{\rm s}$ on the perturbative side. The comparison supports the previous indication that the true spectral function falls below the resummed NLO one in a substantial frequency domain.

It has been pointed out that supersymmetric extensions of the Standard Model can induce significant changes to the theoretical prediction of the ratio $\Gamma(K\rightarrow e\nu)/\Gamma (K\rightarrow\mu\nu)\equiv R_{K}$, through lepton flavour violating couplings. In this work we carry out a full computation of all one-loop corrections to the relevant $\nu\ell H^{+}$ vertex, and discuss the new contributions to $R_{K}$ arising in the context of different constrained (minimal supergravity inspired) models which succeed in accounting for neutrino data, further considering the possibility of accommodating a near future observation of a $\mu\to e\gamma$ transition. We also re-evaluate the prospects for $R_{K}$ in the framework of unconstrained supersymmetric models. In all cases, we address the question of whether it is possible to saturate the current experimental sensitivity on $R_{K}$ while in agreement with the recent limits on $B$-meson decay observables (in particular BR($B_{s}\to\mu^+\mu^-$) and R($B_{u}\to\tau\nu$)), as well as BR($\tau\to e \gamma$) and available collider constraints. Our findings reveal that in view of the recent bounds, and even when enhanced by effective sources of flavour violation in the right-handed $\tilde{e}-\tilde{\tau}$ sector, constrained supersymmetric (seesaw) models typically provide excessively small contributions to $R_{K}$. Larger contributions can be found in more general settings, where the charged Higgs mass can be effectively lowered, and even further enhanced in the unconstrained MSSM. However, our analysis clearly shows that even in this last case SUSY contributions to $R_{K}$ are still unable to saturate the current experimental bounds on this observable, especially due to a strong tension with the $B_{u}\to\tau\nu$ bound.

Results from an extensive relativistic many-body analysis utilizing a realistic effective QCD Hamiltonian are presented for the meson spectrum. A comparative numerical study of the BCS, TDA and RPA treatments provides new, significant insight into the condensate structure of the vacuum, the chiral symmetry governance of the pion and the meson spin, orbital and flavor mass splitting contributions. In contrast to a previous glueball application, substantial quantitative differences are computed between TDA and RPA for the light quark sector with the pion emerging as a Goldstone boson only in the RPA.

Particle physics model building within the context of string theory suggests that further copies of the Higgs boson sector may be expected. Concerns regarding tree-level flavor changing neutral currents are easiest to allay if little or no couplings of next generation Higgs bosons are allowed to Standard Model fermions. We detail the resulting general Higgs potential and mass spectroscopy in both a Standard Model extension and a supersymmetric extension. We present the important experimental constraints from meson-meson mixing, loop-induced $b\to s\gamma$ decays and LEP2 direct production limits. We investigate the energy range of valid perturbation theory of these ideas. In the supersymmetric context we present a class of examples that marginally aids the fine-tuning problem for parameter space where the lightest Higgs boson mass is greater than the Standard Model limit of 114 GeV. Finally, we study collider physics signatures generic to next generation Higgs bosons, with special emphasis on $Ah\to hhZ\to 4b+2l$ signal events, and describe the capability of discovery at the Large Hadron Collider.

We describe a strategy to solve differential equations for Feynman integrals by powers series expansions near singular points and to obtain high precision results for the corresponding master integrals. We consider Feynman integrals with two scales, i.e. nontrivially depending on one variable. The corresponding algorithm is oriented at situations where canonical form of the differential equations is impossible. We provide a computer implementation of our algorithm in a simple example of four-loop generalized sun-set integrals with three equal non-zero masses. Our code provides values of the master integrals at any given point on the real axis with a required accuracy and a given order of expansion in the regularization parameter $\epsilon$.

In view of important implications in the B decay, the 0-0- decay modes of J/psi are analyzed with broken flavor SU(3) symmetry in search for long-distance final-state interactions. If we impose one mild theoretical constraint on the electromagnetic form factors, we find that a large phase difference of final-state interactions is strongly favored between the one-photon and the gluon decay amplitudes. Measurement of the \pi+\pi- and K+K- cross sections off the J/psi peak in e+e- annihilation can settle the issue without recourse to theory.

We explore gauge coupling unification and dark matter in high scale supersymmetry where the scale of supersymmetry breaking is much above the weak scale. The gauge couplings unify as precisely as in low energy supersymmetry if the higgsinos, whose mass does not break supersymmetry, are much lighter than those obtaining masses from supersymmetry breaking. The dark matter of the universe can then be explained by the neutral higgsino or the gravitino. High scale supersymmetry with light higgsinos requires a large Higgs mixing parameter for electroweak symmetry breaking to take place. It is thus naturally realized in models where superparticle masses are generated at loop level while the Higgs mixing parameter is induced at tree level, like in anomaly and gauge mediation of supersymmetry breaking.

We calculate the contribution of second generation scalar leptoquarks to the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon (AMMM). In the near future, E-821 at Brookhaven will reduce the experimental error on this parameter to $\Delta a_\mu^{\rm exp}<4\times 10^{-10}$, an improvement of 20 over its current value. With this new experimental limit we obtain a lower mass limit of $m_{\Phi_L}>186$\ GeV for the second generation scalar leptoquark, when its Yukawa-like coupling $\lambda_{\Phi_L}$\ to quarks and leptons is taken to be of the order of the electroweak coupling $g_2$.

With this new experimental limit we obtain a lower mass limit of $m_{\Phi_L}>186$\ GeV for the second generation scalar leptoquark, when its Yukawa-like coupling $\lambda_{\Phi_L}$\ to quarks and leptons is taken to be of the order of the electroweak coupling $g_2$.

We consider a scenario (supported by some lattice results) in which a U(1)-breaking condensate survives across the chiral transition in QCD. This scenario has important consequences for the pseudoscalar-meson sector, which can be studied using an effective Lagrangian model. In particular, generalizing the results obtained in two previous papers, where the effects on the radiative decays eta,eta' --> gamma gamma were studied, in this paper we study the effects of the U(1) chiral condensate on the strong decays of the "light" pseudoscalar mesons, i.e., eta,eta' --> 3pi^0; eta,eta' --> pi^+ pi^- pi^0; eta' --> eta pi^0 pi^0; eta' --> eta pi^+ pi^-; and also on the strong decays of an exotic ("heavy") SU(3)-singlet pseudoscalar state eta_X, predicted by the model.

Lepton number violation plays an essential role in many scenarios of neutrino mass generation and also provides new clues to search new physics beyond the standard model. We consider the neutrinophilic two-Higgs-doublet model ($\nu$-2HDM) where additional right-handed neutral fermions $N_{Ri}$ and a complex singlet scalar $\sigma$ are also involved. In scalar sector, the global $U(1)_{L}$ symmetry is spontaneous broken, leading to Nambu-Goldstone boson, the Majoron $J$, accompanied by the Majorana neutrino mass generation. We find that the massless Majoron will induce large invisible Higgs decay, and current experiments have already set constraints on relevant parameters. For the first time, we point out that the $\nu$-2HDM with $N_{Ri}$ can be distinguished from other seesaw by the same sign tri-lepton signature $3\ell^\pm4j+\cancel{E}_T$. More interesting, for $\mathcal{O}(\keV)$ scale Majoron, it is a good candidate of decaying dark matter to interpret the $3.5\keV$ and $511\keV$ line excesses.

The pion and nucleon mass differences generate a very pronounced cusp in the photoproduction reaction of a single neutral pion on the proton. A nonrelativistic effective field theory to describe this reaction is constructed. The approach is rigorous in the sense that it is an effective field theory with a consistent power counting scheme. Expressions for the S- and P-wave multipole amplitudes at one loop are given. The relation of the phase of the electric multipole E_0+ to the phase of the S-wave of pi^0 p --> pi^0 p scattering is discussed.

In this work we study the Higgs boson decays into two photons and into one photon and one $Z$ gauge boson within the context of the non-linear Effective Field Theory called the Electroweak Chiral Lagrangian. We present a detailed computation of the corresponding amplitudes to one-loop level in the covariant $R_\xi$ gauges. We assume that the fermionic loop contributions are as in the Standard Model and focus here just in the computation of the bosonic loop contributions. Our renormalization program and the anatomy of the various contributions participating in the $R_\xi$ gauges are fully explored. With this present computation we demonstrate the gauge invariance of the EChL result, not only for the case of on-shell Higgs boson, but also for the most general and interesting case of off-shell Higgs boson. We finally analyse and conclude on the special relevance of the Goldstone boson loops, in good agreement with the expected chiral loops behaviour in Chiral Lagrangians. We perform a systematic comparison with the corresponding computation of the Standard Model in the $R_\xi$ gauges and with the previous EChL results in the unitary gauge. This work represents the first computation within the EChL of these Higgs observables to one-loop in the most general $R_\xi$ gauges and with a full renormalization program description, not yet fully explored in the previous literature and which is different to the most frequently used in the linear Effective Field Theory (SMEFT).

We use our current understanding of the all-order singularity structure of gauge theory amplitudes to probe their high-energy limit. Our starting point is the dipole formula, a compact ansatz for the soft anomalous dimension matrix of massless multi-particle amplitudes. In the high-energy limit, we find a simple and general expression for the infrared factor generating all soft and collinear singularities of the amplitude, which is valid to leading power in $|t|/s$ and to all logarithmic orders. This leads to a direct and general proof of leading-logarithmic Reggeization for infrared divergent contributions to the amplitude. Furthermore, we can prove explicitly that the simplest form of Reggeization, based on the absence of Regge cuts in the complex angular momentum plane, breaks down at the NNLL level. Finally, we note that the known features of the high-energy limit can be used to constrain possible corrections to the dipole formula, starting at the three-loop order.

The elements of the theory of vacuum oscillations and the model of dynamical expansion of the theory of weak interactions works at the tree level, i.e. the model of dynamical analogy of Cabibbo-Kobayashi- Maskawa matrices and its further development, are given. It is shown that the quarks and massive vector bosons must be structural and these structural particles (subparticles) must interact to generate quark and vector boson masses. In this case the problem of singularity cancellations does not arise in this model. It is also shown that, for self consistency of the theory, the weak decays of $K$ mesons must go through massive vector boson $B$ but not $W$ boson. In the framework of this model the probability of $\pi \leftrightarrow K$ transitions (oscillations) in the diagram approach is computed. These transitions are virtual since masses of $\pi$ and $K$ mesons differ considerably. These transitions (oscillations) can be registered through $K$ decays after transitions of virtual $K$ mesons to their own mass shell by using their quasielastic strong interactions.

We investigate a topological inflation model in supergravity. By means of numerical simulations, it is confirmed that topological inflation can take place in supergravity. We also show that the condition for successful inflation depends not only on the vacuum-expectation value (VEV) of inflaton field but also on the form of its K\"ahler potential. In fact, it is found that the required VEV of the inflaton $\phi$ can be as small as $<\phi > \simeq 1 \times M_G$, where $M_{G}$ is the gravitational scale.

We study the enhancement of the branching ratios of the decays $h \to \gamma \gamma, \, \gamma Z$ in the Two Higgs Doublet Model Type III, assuming a four-zero Yukawa Texture and a general Higgs potential. We show that these processes are very sensitive to the flavor pattern of the Yukawa texture and the structure of the triple coupling $h H^\pm H^\mp$ from the Higgs potential. We can accomodate the parameters of the model such that one can obtain the $h \to\gamma \gamma$ rates reported by the LHC and at the same time we can get a $ h \to \gamma Z$ fraction larger than in the SM and within experimental reach. The possibility of obtaining a light charged Higgs boson within the ensuing parameter space and compatible with current experimental measurements is also presented.

We emphasize the crucial r\^{o}le played by the angle $\gamma $ in both providing irrefutable evidence for a 3$\times $3 complex CKM matrix and placing constraints on the size of NP contributions. It is shown that even if one allows for New Physics a real CKM matrix is excluded at a 99.92% C.L., and the probability for the phase $\gamma $ to be in the interval $[-170^{\circ};-10^{\circ}]\cup \lbrack 10^{\circ};170^{\circ}]$ is 99.7%. Large value of the phase $\chi $, e.g. of order $\lambda $, is only possible in models where the unitarity of the $3\times 3$ Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa matrix is violated through the introduction of extra $Q=2/3$ quarks. We study the allowed range for $\chi $ and the effect of a large $\chi $ on various low-energy observables, such as CP asymmetries in $B$ meson decays. We also discuss the correlated effects which would be observable at high energy colliders, like decays $t\to cZ$, etc..

We argue that existing measurements of ep collisions at HERA --in which an energetic photon is made via a QED `Compton' subprocess-- can provide rather detailed information on the photonic parton density of the proton. This function and its deviations from Bjorken scaling should be measurable, allowing for an interesting test of the theory. The photonic distribution function and its gluonic counterpart should show a strikingly different evolution with momentum scale.

We study the operator product expansion of the plaquette (gluon condensate) and the self-energy of an infinitely heavy quark. We first compute their perturbative expansions to order $\alpha^{35}$ and $\alpha^{20}$, respectively, in the lattice scheme. In both cases we reach the asymptotic regime where the renormalon behavior sets in. Subtracting the perturbative series, we obtain the leading non-perturbative corrections of their respective operator product expansions. In the first case we obtain the gluon condensate and in the second the binding energy of the heavy quark in the infinite mass limit. The results are fully consistent with the expectations from renormalons and the operator product expansion.

We study the mass spectra of the $N\Omega$ dibaryons in the $^{3}S_1$ and $^{5}S_2$ channels with $J^{P}=1^{+}$ and $2^{+}$ respectively, by using the method of QCD sum rules. We construct two dibaryon interpolating currents in the molecular picture and calculate their correlation functions and spectral densities up to dimension-16 condensates. Our results indicate that there may exist an $N\Omega$ dibaryon bound state in the $^{5}S_2$ channel with a binding energy of about $21\ \mathrm{MeV}$. The masses of the $^{3}S_1$ $N\Omega$ dibaryons with $J^{P}=1^{+}$ are predicted to be higher than the $N\Omega$ and $\Lambda\Xi$ thresholds, and thus can decay into these final states directly in S-wave. The $N\Omega (^{5}S_2)$ dibaryon bound state can decay into the octet-octet final states $\Lambda\Xi$ and $\Sigma\Xi$ in D-wave via the quark rearrangement mechanism. The existence of these $N\Omega$ dibaryons may be identified in the relativistic heavy-ion collision experiments in the future.

We study the mass spectra of the $N\Omega$ dibaryons in the $^{3}S_1$ and $^{5}S_2$ channels with $J^{P}=1^{+}$ and $2^{+}$ respectively, by using the method of QCD sum rules. We construct two dibaryon interpolating currents in the molecular picture and calculate their correlation functions and spectral densities up to dimension-16 condensates. Our results indicate that there may exist an $N\Omega$ dibaryon bound state in the $^{5}S_2$ channel with a binding energy of about $21\ \mathrm{MeV}$.

We have explored properties of an extension of the Inert Doublet Model by the addition of an extra non-inert scalar doublet. The model offers a possibility of CP violation in the scalar sector and a candidate for the Dark Matter. Allowed regions in the plane spanned by the mass of the Dark-Matter particle and the lightest neutral Higgs particle have been identified, and constraints from direct and indirect-detection experiments have been studied. For favorable parameter regions one may observe long-lived charged particles produced at the LHC.

Efforts to unify group-theoretically the standard-model gauge interactions with the generation structure of fermions and their mirror partners should be accompanied with the unification of the corresponding gauge couplings. In this paper the possibility of such a unification is studied and conclusions on possible symmetry-breaking channels and scales, as well as on the fermion content of the theory, are drawn. The breaking of some of the symmetries allows various Majorana masses for neutrinos and their mirror partners, so these are studied next. Implications to neutrino mixings and mass hierarchies in connection with recent experimental results, as well as to electroweak precision tests, are then discussed.

We investigate the solvability of the event kinematics in missing energy events at hadron colliders, as a function of the particle mass ansatz. To be specific, we reconstruct the neutrino momenta in dilepton $t\bar{t}$-like events, without assuming any prior knowledge of the mass spectrum. We identify a class of events, which we call extreme events, with the property that the kinematic boundary of their allowed region in mass parameter space passes through the true mass point. We develop techniques for recognizing extreme events in the data and demonstrate that they are abundant in a realistic data sample, due to expected singularities in phase space. We propose a new method for mass measurement whereby we obtain the true values of the mass parameters as the focus point of the kinematic boundaries for all events in the data sample. Since the masses are determined from a relatively sharp peak structure (the density of kinematic boundary curves), the method avoids some of the systematic errors associated with other techniques. We show that this new approach is complementary to previously considered methods in the literature where one studies the solvability of the kinematic constraints throughout the mass parameter space. In particular, we identify a problematic direction in mass space of nearly 100% solvability, and then show that the focus point method is effective in lifting the degeneracy.

We investigate protoneutron star matter using the state-of-the-art perturbative equation of state for cold and dense QCD in the presence of a fixed lepton fraction in which both electrons and neutrinos are included. Besides computing the modifications in the equation of state due to the presence of trapped neutrinos, we show that stable strange quark matter has a more restricted parameter space. We also study the possibility of nucleation of unpaired quark matter in the core of protoneutron stars by matching the lepton-rich QCD pressure onto a hadronic equation of state, namely TM1 with trapped neutrinos. Using the inherent dependence of perturbative QCD on the renormalization scale parameter, we provide a measure of the uncertainty in the observables we compute.

Using an effective theory approach, we calculate the neutron electric dipole moment (nEDM) in the minimal left-right symmetric model with both explicit and spontaneous CP violations. We integrate out heavy particles to obtain flavor-neutral CP-violating effective Lagrangian. We run the Wilson coefficients from the electroweak scale to the hadronic scale using one-loop renormalization group equations. Using the state-of-the-art hadronic matrix elements, we obtain the nEDM as a function of right-handed W-boson mass and CP-violating parameters. We use the current limit on nEDM combined with the kaon-decay parameter $\epsilon$ to provide the most stringent constraint yet on the left-right symmetric scale $ M_{W_R} > (10 \pm 3) $ TeV.

All the external legs are allowed to have arbitrary invariant masses. The Magnus exponential is employed to identify a set of master integrals that, around $d=4$ space-time dimensions, obey a canonical system of differential equations. The canonical master integrals are given as a Taylor series in $\epsilon = (4-d)/2$, up to order four, with coefficients written as combination of Goncharov polylogarithms, respectively up to weight four. In the context of the Standard Model, our results are relevant for the mixed EW-QCD corrections to the Higgs decay to a $W$ pair, as well as to the production channels obtained by crossing, and to the triple gauge boson vertices $ZWW$ and $\gamma^*WW$.

In this paper, we discuss the exclusive photoproduction of ground and excited states of $\psi(1S,2S)$ and $\Upsilon(1S,2S)$ in ultraperipheral collisions (UPCs). Using the potential model in order to obtain the vector meson wave function, we find a good agreement of our calculations with data from the LHC and HERA colliders for $J/\psi (1S,2S) $ and $\Upsilon(1S)$ in $\gamma p$ collisions. We extend the calculations to the nuclear target case applying them to $AA$ UPCs with the use of the shadowing and finite coherence length effects fitted to the data. Our results are compared to the recent LHC data, in both incoherent ($J/\Psi(1S)$ at 2.76 TeV) and coherent ($J/\Psi(1S)$ at 2.76 and 5.02 TeV) processes. We also show the corresponding predictions for the excited states, in the hope that future measurements could provide more detailed information about the vector meson wave functions and nuclear effects.

A study of the eta'->eta pi pi Dalitz plot distribution is presented in this talk. The size of the branching ratio is properly understood within U(3) Chiral Perturbation Theory and Resonance Chiral Theory, in the framework of the 1/Nc expansion. Nonetheless, unitarity effects of pion loops must be incorporated in order to achieve an appropriate description of the Dalitz slope parameters. After taking the final state interactions into account, our predictions become now in agreement with the available experimental measurements, although some clear differences show up with respect to previous theoretical estimates.

A study of the eta'->eta pi pi Dalitz plot distribution is presented in this talk. The size of the branching ratio is properly understood within U(3) Chiral Perturbation Theory and Resonance Chiral Theory, in the framework of the 1/Nc expansion. Nonetheless, unitarity effects of pion loops must be incorporated in order to achieve an appropriate description of the Dalitz slope parameters. After taking the final state interactions into account, our predictions become now in agreement with the available experimental measurements, although some clear differences show up with respect to previous theoretical estimates.

Dark matter and neutrinos provide the two most compelling pieces of evidence for new physics beyond the Standard Model of Particle Physics but they are often treated as two different sectors. In this paper, we consider how neutrino observables can be used to constrain the parameter space of different models where active neutrinos interact with DM via mediators of different spins. We study for the first time the sensitivity of the Hyper-Kamiokande detector to neutrinos produced from MeV Dark Matter annihilation. In particular, we find that thermally produced DM candidates with masses between 15-30 MeV could be fully excluded.

Following Caron-Huot and combining results for the thermal dependence of spectral functions at large time-like momenta, we write an explicit expression for the thermal width of the Higgs boson to $\mathcal{O}(\alpha_\mathrm{s})$ for $T \ll M_H$. It is an $\mathcal{O}( \alpha_\mathrm{s} (T/M_H)^4 )$ correction for $H\to gg$ and $H\to q\bar{q}$. We also compile corresponding results for the thermal width of the $Z$-boson, and we recall which generic structures of the field theory, accessible via the operator product expansion, fix the $T/M$-dependence of the decay of heavy particles.

The $\tau$ polarization in semileptonic $B$ decays provides probes of new physics complementary to decay rate distributions of the three-body final state. Prior calculations for inclusive decays used a definition for the polarization axis that is different from the choice used in calculations (and the only measurement) for exclusive channels. To compare inclusive and exclusive predictions, we calculate the $\tau$ polarization in inclusive $B\to X\tau\bar\nu$ using the same choice as in the exclusive decays, and construct a sum rule relating the inclusive $\tau$ polarization to a weighted sum of exclusive decay polarizations. We use this relation, experimental data, and theoretical predictions for the decays to the lightest charm or up-type hadrons to make predictions for excited channels.

In presence of non standard interactions, the solar neutrino data is consistent with two solutions, one close to the standard LMA solution with $\sin^2\theta_{12} \simeq 0.3$ and another with $\sin^2\theta_{12}^D \simeq 0.7(=\cos^2\theta_{12})$. The latter has been called the Dark LMA (DLMA) solution in the literature. This issue is hard to resolve via oscillations because of the existence of the so-called "generalised mass hierarchy" degeneracy of the neutrino mass matrix in presence of NSI. However, if the mass hierarchy is independently determined in a non-oscillation experiment such as neutrino-less double beta decay, the invariance of neutrino oscillation probabilities under $\sin^2\theta_{12} \leftrightarrow \cos^2\theta_{12}$ is lost and the possibility of resolving the LMA vs DLMA opens up. We point out that the $P_{\mu\mu}$ channel can distinguish $\theta_{12}$ from $\theta_{12}^D$ and study the corresponding difference in long-baseline experiments. We show that a key ingredient required is the input from the $P_{ee}$ channel measured at a reactor experiment. We find that if the mass hierarchy is determined by neutrino-less double beta decay, then a combined measurement of the effective mass squared differences in long-baseline experiments such as T2HK and DUNE and reactor experiment such as JUNO can resolve the DLMA conundrum to better than $3\sigma$ within 1 year for T2HK and little more than 3 years for DUNE.

The Kwiecinski equations for the QCD evolution of the unintegrated parton distributions in the transverse-coordinate space (b) are analyzed with the help of the Mellin-transform method. The equations are solved numerically in the general case, as well as in a small-b expansion which converges fast for b Lambda_QCD sufficiently small. We also discuss the asymptotic limit of large bQ and show that the distributions generated by the evolution decrease with b according to a power law. Numerical results are presented for the pion distributions with a simple valence-like initial condition at the low scale, following from chiral large-N_c quark models. We use two models: the Spectral Quark Model and the Nambu--Jona-Lasinio model. Formal aspects of the equations, such as the analytic form of the b-dependent anomalous dimensions, their analytic structure, as well as the limits of unintegrated parton densities at x -> 0, x -> 1, and at large b, are discussed in detail. The effect of spreading of the transverse momentum with the increasing scale is confirmed, with <k_\perp^2> growing asymptotically as Q^2 alpha(Q^2). Approximate formulas for <k_\perp^2> for each parton species is given, which may be used in practical applications.

If photons had a small electric charge $Q_\gamma$ their path in the galactic magnetic field would be curved, leading to a time delay between photons of different frequency from a distant source. Cocconi's previous application of this argument led to a limit which is too restrictive by a factor of about 200; the corrected bound is $Q_\gamma/e\lapprox10^{-29}$.

Moreover, it was calculated the differential cross section for the Upsilon states and their total cross section for two intervals of rapidity: $|y|\leq 4$ 4 and $ 2 \le$ y $\le 4.5$. A systematic study is done on the theoretical uncertainties associated to the production and predictions are presented for the first time for the incoherent cross section of the radially excited states.

We provide an exact analytical calculation at the two-loop level in the abelian limit of the leading power correction for the C parameter in e+e- annihilation. We compare our results to the numerical value obtained employing the soft approximation, the abelian part of the Milan factor. We demonstrate that a simple proportionality holds between the leading power corrections to the C parameter and to the longitudinal cross section in the soft region, and we verify that this proportionality holds for the full two-loop abelian contribution computed here. We comment on the possibility of extending this technique to other event shape variables and distributions, as well as to the non-abelian contributions.

The Drell-Hearn-Gerasimov and Bjorken sum rules are special examples of dispersive sum rules for the spin-dependent structure function G_1(\nu, Q^2) at Q^2=0 and \infty. We generalize these sum rules through studying the virtual-photon Compton amplitudes S_1(\nu, Q^2) and S_2(\nu,Q^2). At small Q^2, we calculate the Compton amplitudes at leading-order in chiral perturbation theory; the resulting sum rules can be tested by data soon available from Jefferson Lab. For Q^2>>\Lambda_{QCD}^2, the standard twist-expansion for the Compton amplitudes leads to the well-known deep-inelastic sum rules. Although the situation is still relatively unclear in a small intermediate-Q^2 window, we argue that chiral perturbation theory and the twist-expansion alone already provide strong constraints on the Q^2-evolution of the G_1(\nu,Q^2) sum rule from Q^2=0 to Q^2=\infty.

The rates for lepton number washout in extensions of the Standard Model containing right-handed neutrinos are key ingredients in scenarios for baryogenesis through leptogenesis. We relate these rates to real-time correlation functions at finite temperature, without making use of any particle approximations. The relations are valid to quadratic order in neutrino Yukawa couplings and to all orders in Standard Model couplings. They take into account all spectator processes, and apply both in the symmetric and in the Higgs phase of the electroweak theory. We use the relations to compute washout rates at next-to-leading order in g, where g denotes a Standard Model gauge or Yukawa coupling, both in the non-relativistic and in the relativistic regime. Even in the non-relativistic regime the parametrically dominant radiative corrections are only suppressed by a single power of g. In the non-relativistic regime radiative corrections increase the washout rate by a few percent at high temperatures, but they are of order unity around the weak scale and in the relativistic regime.

Information theory turns out to be an interesting tool for studying the consequences of Higgs observations to various new physics candidate theories by means of the information measure as the entropy of Higgs-Boson through its various detection modes at the Large Hadron Collider. The present article investigates the parameter space of a supersymmetric scenario where sfermions and one of the Higgs superfields are decoupled, while the gauginos, Higgsinos, and the remaining Higgs doublet are still allowed to be lighter. Our analysis reveals that this is quite a viable choice in the light of LHC discovery of a Higgs which resembles the SM Higgs-Boson and nothing else so far. While the supersymmetry breaking scale $M_S$ could be as high as $10^{11}$ GeV or so, the most preferred values of the $M_{S}$ and $\tan\beta$ are found to be around 3.6$\times10^7$ GeV and $41$ respectively, which is also consistent with the relic abundance of the neutralino dark matter. The corresponding value of neutralino ($ m_{\tilde\chi^{0}_{1}}$) LSP is estimated to be around 1.01 TeV. The preferred values of other parameters, namely, the Higgsino mass ($\mu$) and gaugino mass parameters ($M_1$ and $M_2$) are found to be about 1.05 TeV, 1.74 TeV, and 2.57 TeV, respectively.

The present article investigates the parameter space of a supersymmetric scenario where sfermions and one of the Higgs superfields are decoupled, while the gauginos, Higgsinos, and the remaining Higgs doublet are still allowed to be lighter. Our analysis reveals that this is quite a viable choice in the light of LHC discovery of a Higgs which resembles the SM Higgs-Boson and nothing else so far. While the supersymmetry breaking scale $M_S$ could be as high as $10^{11}$ GeV or so, the most preferred values of the $M_{S}$ and $\tan\beta$ are found to be around 3.6$\times10^7$ GeV and $41$ respectively, which is also consistent with the relic abundance of the neutralino dark matter. The corresponding value of neutralino ($ m_{\tilde\chi^{0}_{1}}$) LSP is estimated to be around 1.01 TeV. The preferred values of other parameters, namely, the Higgsino mass ($\mu$) and gaugino mass parameters ($M_1$ and $M_2$) are found to be about 1.05 TeV, 1.74 TeV, and 2.57 TeV, respectively.
