energy range of $E = 6-15$ GeV at the baseline $L = 730$ km for
$\nu_\mu\to\nu_\tau$ oscillation, and the matter effect is at the $8-15%$ level

very small $(\sim 0.01)$ and is comparable to the matter effect. For

the active-sterile admixture and is at most 0.05 in $E = 1.5-3$ GeV at $L =

can be expressed as a sum of products of the perturbatively calculable
short-distance coefficients and the nonperturbative long-distance matrix
elements. The short-distance coefficients are ascertained through the
perturbative matching procedure at lowest order in $\alpha_{s}$ and $v$
expansion. Incorporating the celebrated QCD factorization and the
charm-to-$T_{4c}$ fragmentation function, we are able to predict the $T_{4c}$
production rate at high transverse momentum $p_T$ in colliders. In
phenomenology, we approximate the NRQCD matrix elements with phenomenological
four-body wave functions at the origin. After applying appropriate kinematic
constraints, both the differential distribution over $p_T$ and the integrated
cross sections are predicted at the \texttt{LHC}. The cross section can reach
approximately $100$ fb, indicating the potential for a significant number of
$T_{4c}$ events to be produced at the \texttt{LHC}. Additionally, we provide
predictions for the photoproduction of $T_{4c}$ in electron-proton ($ep$)

are relatively small at the \texttt{HERA}, \texttt{EIC} as well as

version of the package can be download from http://sarah.hepforge.org/ | null | null | null | hep-ph | http://arxiv.org/licenses/nonexclusive-distrib/1.0/ | SARAH is a Mathematica package for building and analyzing supersymmetric
models. SARAH just needs the gauge structure, particle content and
superpotential to produce all information about the gauge eigenstates of a
model. Breaking of gauge symmetries and mixings of particles can easily be in a
second step and entire Lagrangian is derived automatically. Also the gauge
fixing terms are derived by SARAH in R_Xi gauge, and the corresponding ghost
interactions are calculated. Using this information, SARAH can calculate the
all mass matrices, tadpole equations and vertices at tree-level for the given
model. In addition, the expressions for the 1- and 2-loop renormalization group
equations of all parameters can be calculated and an automatic calculation for
the 1-loop corrections to self energies and the tadpoles are possible.
SARAH can write all information about the model to LaTeX files, or create a
model files for FeynArts/FormCalc, WHIZARD/OMEGA and CalcHep/CompHep, which can
also be used for dark matter studies using MicrOmegas, and in the UFO format
which is supported by MadGraph 5. Beginning with version 3, SARAH is also the
first available spectrum-generator-generator: based on the derived, analytical
expression it creates source code for SPheno to calculate the mass spectrum as
well the SUSY decays with high precision. In that way, it is possible to
implement new models in SPheno without the need to write any Fortran code by
hand. Already many models beyond the MSSM are included in the public version of
SARAH and the implementation of new models is easy and straightforward.

] | SARAH is a Mathematica package for building and analyzing supersymmetric models. SARAH just needs the gauge structure, particle content and superpotential to produce all information about the gauge eigenstates of a model. Breaking of gauge symmetries and mixings of particles can easily be in a second step and entire Lagrangian is derived automatically. Also the gauge fixing terms are derived by SARAH in R_Xi gauge, and the corresponding ghost interactions are calculated. Using this information, SARAH can calculate the all mass matrices, tadpole equations and vertices at tree-level for the given model. In addition, the expressions for the 1- and 2-loop renormalization group equations of all parameters can be calculated and an automatic calculation for the 1-loop corrections to self energies and the tadpoles are possible. SARAH can write all information about the model to LaTeX files, or create a model files for FeynArts/FormCalc, WHIZARD/OMEGA and CalcHep/CompHep, which can also be used for dark matter studies using MicrOmegas, and in the UFO format which is supported by MadGraph 5. Beginning with version 3, SARAH is also the first available spectrum-generator-generator: based on the derived, analytical expression it creates source code for SPheno to calculate the mass spectrum as well the SUSY decays with high precision. In that way, it is possible to implement new models in SPheno without the need to write any Fortran code by hand. Already many models beyond the MSSM are included in the public version of SARAH and the implementation of new models is easy and straightforward. |

Dine-Fischler-Srednicki-Zhitnisky axion model in light of the recent Higgs LHC
results and electroweak precision data. This model is an extension of the
two-Higgs-doublet model incorporating a PQ symmetry which leads to a physically
acceptable axion. For generic values of the couplings, the model reproduces the
minimal Standard Model, with a massless axion and all the other degrees of
freedom at a very high scale. However, in some scenarios, the extra Higgses
could be relatively light. We use the oblique corrections, in particular
$\Delta\rho$, to constrain the mass spectrum in this case. Finally, we also
work out the non-linear parametrization of the DFSZ model in the generic case
where all scalars except the lightest Higgs and the axion have masses at or
beyond the TeV scale.
In the second part, we study the relevance of a cold axion background (CAB)
as a responsible for the dark matter in the Universe and examine its
consequences through its effects on photon and cosmic ray propagation. We study
the axion-photon system under the joint influence of two backgrounds: an
external magnetic field and a CAB. Their effect consists in producing a
three-way mixing of the axion with the two polarizations of the photon. We
determine the proper frequencies and eigenvectors as well as the corresponding
photon ellipticity and induced rotation of the polarization plane that depend
both on the magnetic field and the local density of axions. We also comment on
the possibility that some of the predicted effects could be measured in optical
table-top experiments.
Circularly polarized photons are energy eigenstates, with a modified
dispersion relation. This enables the emission of a photon by a charged
particle, which is forbidden in regular QED. We study the energy loss of a
cosmic ray due and compute the energy flux of photons emitted in this way.

to be correct. The scattering amplitude of the dipole with the size $r$ depends
on new dimensional scale: $\Lambda_{QCD}$, even at large values $Y = \ln(1/x)$
and $l\,=\, \ln\Lb \as\Lb r^2\Rb/\as\Lb 1/Q^2_s\Rb\Rb$. However, in this region
we found a new scaling behaviour: the amplitude is a function of $\zeta =
Y\,l$. We state that only in the vicinity of the saturation scale $Q_s$
($\as(Q^2_s)\,\ln \Lb r^2 Q^2_s\Rb\,\leq \, 1$), the amplitude shows the
geometric scaling behaviour. Based on these finding the geometric scaling
behavior that has been seen experimentally, stems from either we have not
probed the proton at HERA and the LHC deeply inside the saturation region or
that there exists the mechanism of freezing of the QCD coupling constant at
$r^2 \approx 1/Q^2_s$.

candidates of $X(2900)$ including molecular structure and diquark structure in
a chiral quark model with the help of Gaussian expansion method. Two different
structures coupling is also considered. To identify the genuine resonances,
real-scaling method (stabilization method) was employed. The results show that
no candidate of $X(2900)$ is founded in $00^+$ and $01^+$ $cs\bar{q}\bar{q}$
system below the threshold of $D^*\bar{K}^*$, while there are two states in the
$P$-wave excited $cs\bar{q}\bar{q}$ system, $D_1\bar{K}$ and $D_J\bar{K}$,
which could be candidates of $X(2900)$. In this way, we assign negative parity
to $X_1(2900)$, and $X_0(2900)$ maybe a resonance state above the threshold of
$D^*\bar{K}^*$, more calculation is needed.

] | Recently, the LHCb Collaboration reported their observation of the first two fully open-flavor tetraquark states named $X_0(2900)$ and $X_1(2900)$ with unknown parity. Inspired by the report, we consider all of possible four-quark candidates of $X(2900)$ including molecular structure and diquark structure in a chiral quark model with the help of Gaussian expansion method. Two different structures coupling is also considered. To identify the genuine resonances, real-scaling method (stabilization method) was employed. The results show that no candidate of $X(2900)$ is founded in $00^+$ and $01^+$ $cs\bar{q}\bar{q}$ system below the threshold of $D^*\bar{K}^*$, while there are two states in the $P$-wave excited $cs\bar{q}\bar{q}$ system, $D_1\bar{K}$ and $D_J\bar{K}$, which could be candidates of $X(2900)$. In this way, we assign negative parity to $X_1(2900)$, and $X_0(2900)$ maybe a resonance state above the threshold of $D^*\bar{K}^*$, more calculation is needed. |

matrix element computation is organized as a gauge-invariant expansion in
powers of $\Gamma_X/m_X$, with $\Gamma_X$ and $m_X$ the width and mass of the
unstable particle. This framework allows for a systematic inclusion of
off-shell and non-factorizable effects whilst at the same time keeping the
computational effort minimal compared to a full calculation in the complex-mass

in a similar calculation of single-top production, the finite-width effects are
small for the total cross section, as expected from the na\" ive counting $\sim

to edges of certain kinematical distributions. The dependence of the results on
the mass renormalization scheme, and its implication for a precise extraction

is investigated. The conditions for the generation of scale invariant spectra
for the vector field transverse components are obtained. If the vector field
contributes to the curvature perturbation in the Universe, scale-invariant
particle production enables it to give rise to statistical anisotropy in the
spectrum and bispectrum of cosmological perturbations. The axial coupling
allows particle production to be parity violating, which in turn can generate
parity violating signatures in the bispectrum. The conditions for parity
violation are derived and the observational signatures are obtained in the
context of the vector curvaton paradigm. Two concrete examples are presented
based on realistic particle theory.

Sciences at Oklahoma State University. Thesis advisor: K.S. Babu | null | null | null | hep-ph | null | In this thesis, we study the hidden symmetries in the SM and also use
discrete gauge symmetries as model building tools to solve various problems in
the SM as well as the MSSM, such as R-parity, mu-term, stabilizing the axion
solutions, etc. The flavor independent non-supersymmetric SM at the
renormalizable level has a discrete Z_3 gauge symmetry known as baryon parity.
It is anomaly free at the discrete level as a result of the existence of three
generations. The symmetry can effectively act as the Baryon number up to the
\Delta B=3 mod 3 level which is also consistent with the prediction from
non-perturbative processes corrections in the SM, such as electroweak instanton
and sphaleron processes. This symmetry is not consistent with the simple GUTs
since those theories explicitly break it. Thus this baryon parity provides a
strong hint for new physics like GUTs. Quantum mechanically, we estimate the
triple nucleon decay rate which is predicted by the existence of this symmetry.
We find a simple U(1) realization with the presence of right-handed neutrinos,
from which this baryon parity can naturally emerge. Gauged R-parity is studied
in the following chapter. We also study various different approaches to the
mu-term problem via a symmetry classification. One explicit example in terms of
a Z_4 subgroup of the anomalous U(1) symmetry is given. Another solution arises
from a SUSY version of QCD invisible axion. Discrete flavor gauge symmetries
are discussed to explain the observed hierarchy fermion masses. D-term
splitting problem can then be avoided. In the last part, we show how to use
discrete gauge symmetries to stabilize the QCD invisible axion solutions, for
both DFSZ and KSVZ invisible axion models.

We analyse the dependencies of the differential decay width and CP-asymmetry to the s- quark energy E_s and CP violating parameter \theta. We observe that there exist a considerable enhancement in the decay width and CP asymmetry is at the order of 10^{-2}. Further, it is possible to predict the sign of C_7^{eff} using the CP asymmetry. |

factor (K-factor) is calculated in the limit of infinite top-quark and

rescaling the LO prediction by this K-factor leads to a reliable NLO result and

theory are scheme-dependent, one can, at least for sufficiently small coupling,
carry out a scheme transformation that removes these terms. A basic question
concerns the extent to which this can be done at an infrared fixed point of an
asymptotically free gauge theory. This is important for quantitative analyses
of the scheme dependence of such a fixed point. Here we study a scheme
transformation $S_{R,m}$ with $m \ge 2$ that is constructed so as to remove the
terms in the beta function at loop order $\ell=3$ to $\ell=m+1$, inclusive.
Starting from an arbitrary initial scheme, we present general expressions for
the coefficients of terms of loop order $\ell$ in the beta function in the
transformed scheme from $\ell=m+2$ up to $\ell=8$. Extending a previous study
of $S_{R,2}$, we investigate the range of applicability of the $S_{R,3}$ scheme
transformation in an asymptotically free SU($N_c$) gauge theory with an
infrared zero in $\beta$ depending on the number, $N_f$, of fermions in the

self-consistently in a restricted range of $N_f$ with a correspondingly small
value of infrared fixed-point coupling. We also study the effect of higher-loop

It is shown that in the frame of this ansatz the real-time classical solutions for the arbitrary SU(N) gauge group is obtained by embedding $SU(2)\times SU(2)$ into SU(N). It is argued that this group structure is the only possibility in the frame of the considered ansatz. New explicit solutions for SU(3) and SU(5) gauge groups are shown. |

We summarize recent efforts to determine the counter term describing axial

the counter term directly from the solar neutrino data and find several,
slightly different, ranges of L_{1A} under different sets of assumptions. Our
most conservative fit value with the largest uncertainty is L_{1A} = 4.5
+18/-12 fm^3. We show that the contribution of the uncertainty of L_{1A} to the
analysis and interpretation of the solar neutrino data measured at the Sudbury
Neutrino Observatory is significantly less than the uncertainty coming from the
lack of having a better knowledge of \theta_{13}.

advantage of the new lattice QCD results for the Equation of State (EoS) with

$N_f=2+1+1$, in which the charm quark is included. Given an effective coupling
$g(T)$ fixed by a fit to the lQCD energy density $\epsilon(T)$, we evaluate the
impact of different temperature parametrizations of charm quark mass on EoS and

We also explore the extension of the $QPM$ approach to a more realistic
approach, that we label $QPM_p$, in which quark and gluon masses explicitly
depend on their momentum converging to the current quark mass at high momenta,
as expected from asymptotic free dynamics. The $QPM_p$ is seen to allow for a
simultaneous quantitative description not only of the EoS but also of the quark
susceptibilities ($\chi_q(T)$, $\chi_s(T)$), which instead are underestimated
in the simple $QPM$ model. Furthermore, evaluating the spatial diffusion
coefficient $2\pi T D_s(T)$ in the $QPM_p$, we find it is also significantly
closer than $QPM$ to the recent lQCD data performed including dynamical
fermions. Finally, in a 1+1D expanding system, we evaluate the $R_{AA}(p_T)$ in
the $QPM$ and $QPM_p$, finding a significant reduction at low momenta for
$QPM_p$ which could lead in a realistic scenario to a better agreement to

matter with varying density. The formalism is based on the Magnus expansion and
has a virtue that the unitarity of the S-matrix is maintained in each order of
perturbation theory. We show that the Magnus expansion provides better
convergence of series: the restoration of unitarity leads to smaller deviations
from the exact results especially in the regions of large transition
probabilities. Various expansions are obtained depending on a basis of neutrino
states and a way one splits the Hamiltonian into the self-commuting and
non-commuting parts. In particular, we develop the Magnus expansion for the
adiabatic perturbation theory which gives the best approximation. We apply the
formalism to the neutrino oscillations in matter of the Earth and show that for
the solar oscillation parameters the second order Magnus adiabatic expansion
has better than 1% accuracy for all energies and trajectories. For the
atmospheric $\Delta m^2$ and small 1-3 mixing the approximation works well ($<
3 %$ accuracy for $\sin^2 \theta_{13} = 0.01$) outside the resonance region

We show that the Magnus expansion provides better convergence of series: the restoration of unitarity leads to smaller deviations from the exact results especially in the regions of large transition probabilities. Various expansions are obtained depending on a basis of neutrino states and a way one splits the Hamiltonian into the self-commuting and non-commuting parts. In particular, we develop the Magnus expansion for the adiabatic perturbation theory which gives the best approximation. We apply the formalism to the neutrino oscillations in matter of the Earth and show that for the solar oscillation parameters the second order Magnus adiabatic expansion has better than 1% accuracy for all energies and trajectories. For the atmospheric $\Delta m^2$ and small 1-3 mixing the approximation works well ($< 3 %$ accuracy for $\sin^2 \theta_{13} = 0.01$) outside the resonance region (2.7 - 8) GeV. |

amplitude, being therefore the most unambiguous two-photon exchange effect.

to use a modified perturbation expansion, based on a modified couplant, which
is perturbatively consistent with the conventional running coupling parameter,

assembly; remaining results unaffected | JHEP 0306:028,2003 | 10.1088/1126-6708/2003/06/028 | SLAC-PUB-9675, DESY 03-034, UCLA/02/TEP/2 | hep-ph | http://arxiv.org/licenses/nonexclusive-distrib/1.0/ | We present the two-loop QCD helicity amplitudes for quark-gluon scattering,
and for quark-antiquark annihilation into two gluons. These amplitudes are
relevant for next-to-next-to-leading order corrections to (polarized) jet
production at hadron colliders. We give the results in the `t Hooft-Veltman and
four-dimensional helicity (FDH) variants of dimensional regularization. The
transition rules for converting the amplitudes between the different variants
are much more intricate than for the previously discussed case of gluon-gluon
scattering. Summing our two-loop expressions over helicities and colors, and
converting to conventional dimensional regularization, gives results in
complete agreement with those of Anastasiou, Glover, Oleari and Tejeda-Yeomans.
We describe the amplitudes for 2 to 2 scattering in pure N=1 supersymmetric
Yang-Mills theory, obtained from the QCD amplitudes by modifying the color
representation and multiplicities, and verify supersymmetry Ward identities in
the FDH scheme.
