part that depends only on the astrophysical velocity distribution; a second
part, depending only on the detector form factor; and a scattering matrix
defined on the basis functions, which depends on the details of the dark matter

those involving anisotropic detector materials or more realistic models of the

the effect of the primordial-black-hole (PBH) superradiant instabilities on the
generation of heavy bosonic dark matter (DM) with mass above $\sim$ 1 TeV.
Additionally, we analyze its interplay with other purely gravitational and

the DM density produced by PBHs with respect to the case that only considers
Hawking emission, and hence lower initial PBH densities are required.

expansion in the strong coupling constant alpha_s, of order alpha_s at the Born
level and that can be used for a precision measurement of alpha_s(M_Z). We
compute their next-to-leading order O(alpha_s^2) corrections in the strong
coupling constant, including exactly quark-mass effects. We show that, in the
theoretical evaluation of these quantities, large logarithms of the ratio of
the mass of the final quark over the centre-of-mass energy cancel out. Thus,
these variables have a well-behaved perturbative expansion in alpha_s(M_Z). We
study the theoretical uncertainties due to the renormalization-scale dependence
and the quark-mass scheme and we address the question of which mass scheme is
more appropriate for these variables.

couplings. Then they induce extra contributions to 2-loop soft masses. In the
present model, we derive all such soft terms and discuss constraints which have
to be satisfied to avoid rapid proton decay and mu/B_mu problem. As an example,
it is shown how superpotential couplings of three messengers influence mass
spectra when the model is restricted by additional global U(1)_q symmetry. We
find that masses of the lightest sleptons are the most sensitive to those new

work has focused on subleading power corrections to soft gluon emission, whose
form is strongly constrained by symmetries. In this paper we initiate a study
of the all loop structure of soft fermion emission. In $\mathcal{N}=1$ QCD we
perform an operator based factorization and resummation of the associated
infrared logarithms, and prove that they exponentiate into a Sudakov due to
their relation to soft gluon emission. We verify this result through explicit
calculation to $\mathcal{O}(\alpha_s^3)$. We show that in QCD, this simple
Sudakov exponentiation is violated by endpoint contributions proportional to
$(C_A-C_F)^n$ which contribute at leading logarithmic order. Combining our
$\mathcal{N}=1$ result and our calculation of the endpoint contributions to
$\mathcal{O}(\alpha_s^3)$, we conjecture a result for the soft quark Sudakov in
QCD, a new all orders function first appearing at subleading power, and give
evidence for its universality. Our result, which is expressed in terms of
combinations of cusp anomalous dimensions in different color representations,
takes an intriguingly simple form and also exhibits interesting similarities to
results for large-x logarithms in the off diagonal splitting functions.

] | We construct an extension of the standard Kogut-Susskind lattice model for classical 3+1 dimensional Yang-Mills theory, in which ``classical particle'' degrees of freedom are added. We argue that this will correctly reproduce the ``hard thermal loop'' effects of hard degrees of freedom, while giving a local implementation which is numerically tractable. We prove that the extended system is Hamiltonian and has the same thermodynamics as dimensionally reduced hot Yang-Mills theory put on a lattice. We present a numerical update algorithm and study the abelian theory to verify that the classical gauge theory self-energy is correctly modified. Then we use the extended system to study the diffusion constant for Chern-Simons number. We verify the Arnold-Son-Yaffe picture that the diffusion constant is inversely proportional to hard thermal loop strength. Our numbers correspond to a diffusion constant of Gamma = 29 +- 6 alpha_w^5 T^4 for m_D^2 = 11 g^2 T^2/6. |

CP violating (CPV) phase for accommodating all currently observed CPV
processes. Therefore, a 5D standard model with split fermions is viable. In
addition to the standard CKM phase, new CPV sources involving Kaluza-Klein(KK)
gauge bosons coupling which arise from the fact that unitary rotation which
transforms weak eigenstates into their mass eigenstates only holds for the zero
modes which are the SM fields and not for the KK excitations. We have examined
the physics of kaon, neutron, and $B/D$ mesons and found the most stringent
bound on the size $R$ of the extra dimension comes from $|\epsilon_K|$.
Moreover, it depends sensitively on the width, $\sigma$, of the Gaussian
wavefunction in the extra dimension used to describe of the fermions. When
$\sigma/R \ll 1$, the constraint will be lifted due to GIM suppression on the
flavor changing neutral current(FCNC) and CPV couplings.

In this paper, we study the contribution of virtual Kaluza-Klein excitations (both spin-0 and 2) in the process $e^+e^- \to HHZ$ and $ e^+e^- \to HH\gamma $ at future linear collider (NLC). We find that the virtual exchange KK gravitons can modify the cross-section $\sigma(e^+e^- \to HHZ)$ significantly from its Standard Model value and will allow the effective string scale to be probed up to 6.6 TeV. The second process is absent at the tree level in the standard model, and can therefore be used to put limits on the effective string scale of 7.4 TeV. |

understood in a minimal framework where the Standard Model (SM) is supplemented
by a stable SM singlet scalar as dark matter (DM) and type II seesaw for
generating the neutrino mass matrix. In our framework, a pair of DM particles
annihilates into a pair of the SM SU(2) triplet scalars ($\Delta$s) in type II
seesaw, and the subsequent $\Delta$ decays create the primary source of the
excessive CREs around $1.4$ TeV. The lepton flavor structure of the primary
source of CREs has a direct relationship with the neutrino oscillation data. We
find that the DM interpretation of the DAMPE excess determines the pattern of
neutrino mass spectrum to be the inverted hierarchy type, taking into account
the constraints from the Fermi-LAT observations of dwarf spheroidal galaxies.

expansion needed to freeze out the baryon asymmetry without requiring a

astrophysical background expected. To estimate both the signal for various dark
matter models and the astrophysical background, one employs usually the
coalescence model in a Monte Carlo framework. This allows one to treat the
production of antinuclei on an event-by-event basis, taking thereby into
account momentum correlations between the antinucleons involved in the process.
This approach lacks however an underlying microscopic picture, and the
numerical value of the coalescence parameter obtained from fits to different
reactions varies considerably. Here we propose instead to combine
event-by-event Monte Carlo simulations with a microscopic coalescence picture
based on the Wigner function representations of the produced antinuclei states.
This approach allows us to include in a semi-classical picture both the size of
the formation region, which is process dependent, and momentum correlations.
The model contains a single, universal parameter which is fixed by fitting the
production spectra of antideuterons in proton-proton interactions, measured at
the Large Hadron Collider. Using this value, the model describes well the
production of various antinuclei both in electron-positron annihilation and in
proton-proton collisions.

supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM), where R-parity is conserved as usual in
the MSSM. The global $B-L$ (baryon number minus lepton number) symmetry in the
MSSM is gauged and three MSSM gauge-singlet chiral multiplets with a unit $B-L$
charge are introduced, ensuring the model free from gauge and gravitational
anomalies. We assign an odd R-parity for two of the new chiral multiplets and
hence they are identified with the right-handed neutrino superfields, while an
even R-parity is assigned to the other one ($\Phi$). The scalar component of
$\Phi$ plays the role of a Higgs field to break the U(1)$_{B-L}$ symmetry
through its negative mass squared, which is radiatively generated by the
renormalization group running of soft supersymmetry (SUSY) breaking parameters
from a high energy. This radiative U(1)$_{B-L}$ symmetry breaking leads to its
breaking scale being at the TeV naturally. Because of our novel R-parity
assignment, three light neutrinos are Dirac particles with one massless state.
Since R-parity is conserved, the lightest neutralino is a prime candidate of
the dark matter as usual. In our model, the lightest eigenstate of the mixture
of the $B-L$ gaugino and the fermionic component of $\Phi$ appears as a new
dark matter candidate. We investigate phenomenology of this dark matter
particle. We also discuss collider phenomenology of our model. In particular,
the $B-L$ gauge boson ($Z'$), once discovered at the Large Hadron Collider, can
be a probe to determine the number of (right-handed) Dirac neutrinos with its
invisible decay width, in sharp contrast with the conventional $B-L$ extension
of the SM or MSSM where the right-handed neutrinos are heavy Majorana particles

gluon fields in the McLerran-Venugopalan model of heavy ion collisions and
observe an interesting transition from the classical fields to the
quasi-particle picture at later times. Motivated by this observation, we push
the formalism to higher orders in the coupling and calculate the contribution
to $G_{22}^{a\mu,b\nu}$ coming from the diagrams representing a single
rescattering between two of the produced gluons. We assume that the two gluons
go on mass shell both before and after the rescattering. The result of our
calculation depends on the ordering between the proper time of the rescattering
$\tau_Z$ and the proper time $\tau$ when the gluon distribution is measured.
For (i) $\tau_Z\gg 1/Q_s$ and $\tau-\tau_Z\gg 1/Q_s$ (with $Q_s$ the saturation
scale) we obtain the same results as from the Boltzmann equation. For (ii)
$\tau-\tau_Z\gg \tau_Z\gg 1/Q_s$ we end up with a result very different from
kinetic theory and consistent with a picture of "free-streaming" particles. Due
to the approximations made, our calculation is too coarse to indicate whether
the ordering (i) or (ii) is the correct one: to resolve this controversy, we

] | We consider the ``standard'' spectrum of the active neutrinos (characterized by strong mass hierarchy and small mixing) with additional sterile neutrino, $\nu_s$. The sterile neutrino mixes strongly with the muon neutrino, so that $\nu_{\mu} \leftrightarrow \nu_s$ oscillations solve the atmospheric neutrino problem. We show that the parametric enhancement of the $\nu_{\mu} \leftrightarrow \nu_s$ oscillations occurs for the high energy atmospheric neutrinos which cross the core of the Earth. This can be relevant for the anomaly observed by the MACRO experiment. Solar neutrinos are converted both to $\nu_{\mu}$ and $\nu_s$. The heaviest neutrino ($\approx \nu_{\tau}$) may compose the hot dark matter of the Universe. Phenomenology of this scenario is elaborated and crucial experimental signatures are identified. We also discuss properties of the underlying neutrino mass matrix. |

which is a magnetic monopole attached by two topological $Z$ strings ($Z$ flux
tubes) from two opposite sides. The monopole is a topologically stable solution
of the equation of motions when the Higgs potential has global $U(1)$ and
$\mathbb{Z}_2$ symmetries. In this paper, we consider more general cases
without the $\mathbb{Z}_2$ symmetry, and find that it is no longer a static
solution but moves along the $Z$ string being pulled by the heavier string.
After analytically constructing an asymptotic form of the monopole, we confirm
such a motion using the numerical relaxation method. In addition, we analyze
the real time dynamics of the monopole based on a point-like approximation.
Consequently, if there were long string networks with the monopoles in the
early universe, the monopole accelerates nearly to the speed of light emitting
electromagnetic radiations as a synchrotron accelerator, and collides to an
anti-monopole on the string. This collision event, which we call the
cosmological monopole collider, can produce much heavier particles than those
we can see today, e.g., at the Large Hadron Collider.

simple distinguishing feature of the model is the lack of dark matter

the latter, we obtain a solution with oscillating Hubble parameter under
uniform mass distributions. This solution leads to several peaks of galaxy
number counts as a function of redshift with the first peak corresponding to

confirmation of a large $\mathcal{R}(J/\psi)$.

topological invariant is the sum of the Milnor numbers of the proper critical
points. We present a Mathematica package Mint to automatize the counting of the
