We explore the effects of a strongly-coupled, approximately scale-invariant sector on the renormalization of soft supersymmetry breaking terms. A useful formalism for deriving exact results for renormalization of soft supersymmetry breaking terms is given in an appendix, and used to generalize previously known results to include the effects of nontrilinear superpotential terms. We show that a class of theories which explain the flavor hierarchy without flavor symmetries can also solve the supersymmetric flavor problem by producing nearly degenerate masses for the first two generations of scalar superpartners within each charge sector. Effects from trilinear scalar terms are also suppressed, although their initial values must be relatively small. Our mechanism results in testable predictions for the superpartner spectrum.

Caianiello's quantum geometrical model with maximal acceleration places the upper limit $\mu\leq 719.5$ GeV on the mass of the Higgs boson. The model also provides an equation linking the mass of the W boson to the Higgs mass $\mu$ and independent symmetry breaking and mass generating mechanisms. These may further restrict the value of $\mu$.

Vectorial partners of the Standard Model quarks and leptons are predicted in many dynamical models of electroweak symmetry breaking. The most easily accessible of these new particles, either due to mass or couplings, are typically expected to be the partners of the third-generation fermions. It is therefore essential to explore the signatures of these particles at future high-energy colliders. We study the potential of a high-energy muon collider to singly produce a vector-like top-quark partner via an electroweak dipole moment operator, such an operator being typical of composite constructions beyond the Standard Model. We use a phenomenological model for third-generation quarks and their partners that satisfies an extended custodial symmetry. This automatically protects the $W$-boson and $Z$-boson masses from receiving large electroweak corrections, and it allows the model to be viable given current electroweak data. We demonstrate that cross sections associated with dipole-induced vector-like quark production can easily exceed those inherent to more conventional single-production modes via ordinary electroweak couplings. We then explore the associated phenomenology, and we show that at least one (and often more than one) of the extra vector-like states can be studied at high-energy muon colliders. Typical accessible masses are found to range up to close to the kinematic production threshold, when the vector-like partners are produced in combination with an ordinary top quark.

Can we observe the solar eclipses in the neutrino light? In principle, this is possible by identifying the lunar matter effects on the flavor conversions of solar neutrinos when they traverse the Moon before reaching the detectors at the Earth. Unfortunately, we show that the lunar matter effects on the survival probability of solar $^8{\rm B}$ neutrinos are suppressed by an additional factor of $1.2\%$, compared to the day-night asymmetry. However, we point out that the matter effects on the flavor conversions of high-energy astrophysical neutrinos, when they propagate through the Sun, can be significant. Though the flavor composition of high-energy neutrinos can be remarkably modified, it is quite challenging to observe such effects even in the next-generation of neutrino telescopes.

In order to solve the time-independent three-dimensional Schr\"odinger equation, one can transform the time-dependent Schr\"odinger equation to imaginary time and use a parallelized iterative method to obtain the full three-dimensional eigenstates and eigenvalues on very large lattices. In the case of the non-relativistic Schr\"odinger equation, there exists a publicly available code called quantumfdtd which implements this algorithm. In this paper, we (a) extend the quantumfdtd code to include the case of the relativistic Schr\"odinger equation and (b) add two optimized FFT-based kinetic energy terms for non-relativistic cases. The new kinetic energy terms (two non-relativistic and one relativistic) are computed using the parallelized Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) algorithm provided by the FFTW library. The resulting quantumfdtd v3 code, which is publicly released with this paper, is backwards compatible with version 2, supporting explicit finite differences schemes in addition to the new FFT-based schemes. Finally, the original code has been extended so that it supports arbitrary external file-based potentials and the option to project out distinct parity eigenstates from the solutions. Herein, we provide details of the quantumfdtd v3 implementation, comparisons and tests of the three new kinetic energy terms, and code documentation.

The recent observation of higher quark combinations, tetraquarks and pentaquarks, is a strong indication of more exotic hadrons. Using Z_{2} and Z_{3} symmetries and standard model data, a general quark combination producing new hadronic states is proposed in terms of polygon geometries according to the Dynkin diagrams of \widehat{A}_{n} affine Lie algebras. It has been shown that Z_{\mathbf{2,3}} invariance is crucial in the determination of the mesonic or the baryonic nature of these states. The hexagonal geometry is considered in some details producing both mesonic and baryonic states. A general class of this family is also presented.

We calculate the polarization of prompt $\varUpsilon$($n$S) production in the improved color evaporation model at leading order employing the $k_T$-factorization approach. We present the polarization parameter $\lambda_\vartheta$ of prompt $\varUpsilon$($n$S) as a function of transverse momentum in $p+p$ and $p+\bar{p}$ collisions to compare with data in the helicity, Collins-Soper and Gottfried-Jackson frames. We also present calculations of the bottomonium production cross sections as a function of transverse momentum and rapidity. This is the first $p_T$-dependent calculation of bottomonium production and polarization in the improved color evaporation model. We find agreement with both bottomonium cross sections and polarization measurements.

We propose a parametrization of anomalous Higgs-boson couplings that is both systematic and practical. It is based on the electroweak chiral Lagrangian, including a light Higgs boson, as the effective field theory (EFT) at the electroweak scale $v$. This is the appropriate framework for the case of sizeable deviations in the Higgs couplings of order $10\%$ from the Standard Model, considered to be parametrically larger than new-physics effects in the sector of electroweak gauge interactions. The role of power counting in identifying the relevant parameters is emphasized. The three relevant scales, $v$, the scale of new Higgs dynamics $f$, and the cut-off $\Lambda=4\pi f$, admit expansions in $\xi=v^2/f^2$ and $f^2/\Lambda^2$. The former corresponds to an organization of operators by their canonical dimension, the latter by their loop order or chiral dimension. In full generality the EFT is thus organized as a double expansion. However, as long as $\xi\gg 1/16\pi^2$ the EFT systematics is closer to the chiral counting. The leading effects in the consistent approximation provided by the EFT, relevant for the presently most important processes of Higgs production and decay, are given by a few (typically six) couplings. These parameters allow us to describe the properties of the Higgs boson in a general and systematic way, and with a precision adequate for the measurements to be performed at the LHC. The framework can be systematically extended to include loop corrections and higher-order terms in the EFT.

Hydrodynamics and jet quenching are responsible for the elliptic flow $v_2$ and suppression of large transverse momentum ($p_T$) hadrons, respectively, two of the most important phenomena leading to the discovery of a strongly coupled quark-gluon plasma (QGP) in high-energy heavy-ion collisions. A consistent description of the hadron suppression factor $R_{AA}$ and $v_2$, especially at intermediate $p_T$, however, remains a challenge. We solve this long-standing $R_{AA}\otimes v_2$ puzzle by including quark coalescence for hadronization and final state hadron cascade in the coupled linear Boltzmann transport-hydro model that combines concurrent jet transport and hydrodynamic evolution of the bulk medium. We illustrate that quark coalescence and hadron cascade, two keys to solving the puzzle, also lead to a splitting of $v_2$ for pions, kaons and protons in the intermediate $p_T$ region. We demonstrate for the first time that experimental data on $R_{AA}$, $v_2$ and their hadron flavor dependence from low to intermediate and high $p_T$ in high-energy heavy-ion collisions can be understood within this coupled framework.

The nonlocal interaction generates both the regulator which makes the loop integral convergent and the $Q^2$ dependence of form factors at tree level. Both octet and decuplet intermediate states are included in the one loop calculation. The momentum dependence of baryon form factors are studied up to 1 GeV$^2$ with the same number of parameters as for the nucleon form factors. The obtained magnetic moments of all the baryon octets as well as the radii are in good agreement with the experimental data and/or lattice simulation.

The $F_{2}$ structure functions of the inelastic lepton-hadron scattering is calculated in the case of non-zero intermediate gluon-quarks self-energy $M_{gq}^{2}$ and quasielastic limit. It is shown that in the quasielastic limit the evolution equation can been solved in case massive particles as QCD ladder calculation results. The intermediate gluon-quarks self-energy, or polarization mass is introduced as a parameter in two cases: 1) has not energy momentum dependence and 2) momentum dependence case. At the case 1) of massive particles we compare our result with Shirkov calculates (D.V.Shirkov 1999).It has been shown (case 2.) that the proton structure function $F_{2}$ calculated at realistic values of $M_{gq}^{2}$ in high energy limit transfer to standard QCD ladder calculation results.

At the same time, the further expansion of the area of the $q^2\bar q^2$ model validity for light scalars on ever new processes seems extremely interesting and important.

We compute the O(alpha_s) QCD corrections to the inclusive process e^+e^- --> t \bar t h. Although the total rate is small, it has a distinctive experimental signature and can potentially be used to measure the top quark-Higgs boson Yukawa coupling. The QCD corrections increase the rate by a factor of roughly 1.5 for e^+e^- --> t \bar t h at sqrt(s)=500 GeV and Mh=100 GeV. At sqrt(s)=1 TeV, the corrections are small.

Within D=4 N=1 supergravity theory we obtain an effective theory of the thin wall limit for a flat domain wall configuration, interpolating between isolated supersymmetric extrema of the matter potential. We focus on the Z_2 symmetric flat wall and derive the supersymmetric effective action both in the bulk and on the wall; in the thin wall limit the scalar field, forming the wall, is frozen, and provides the delta function domain wall source, while its fermionic partner decouples due to its large mass. In addition, the interaction between the gravitational supermultiplet and the interaction of the matter multiplet decouples on the wall. While the results are explicitly demonstrated within N=1 D=4 supergravity, we also provide a generalization of the result to D-dimensions.

We compute $S$-wave quarkonium wavefunctions at the origin in the $\overline{\rm MS}$ scheme based on nonrelativistic effective field theories. We include the effects of nonperturbative long-distance behaviors of the potentials, while we determine the short-distance behaviors of the potentials in perturbative QCD. We obtain $\overline{\rm MS}$-renormalized quarkonium wavefunctions at the origin that have the correct scale dependences that are expected from perturbative QCD, so that the scale dependences cancel in physical quantities. Based on the calculation of the wavefunctions at the origin, we make model-independent predictions of decay constants and electromagnetic decay rates of $S$-wave charmonia and bottomonia, and compare them with measurements. We find that the poor convergence of perturbative QCD corrections are substantially improved when we include corrections to the wavefunctions at the origin in the calculation of decay constants and decay rates.

Since electroweak symmetry is generally broken during inflation, the Standard Model Higgs field can become supermassive even after the end of inflation. In this paper, we study the non-thermal phase space distribution of the Higgs field during reheating, focusing in particular on two different contributions: primordial condensate and stochastic fluctuations. We obtain their analytic formulae, which agree with the previous numerical result. As a possible consequence of the non-thermal Higgs spectrum, we discuss perturbative Higgs decay during reheating for the case it is kinematically allowed. We find that the soft-relativistic and hard spectra are dominant in the decay rate of the stochastic fluctuation and that the primordial condensate and stochastic fluctuations decay almost at the same time.

The simplest model that can accomodate a viable nonbaryonic dark matter candidate is the standard electroweak theory with the addition of right-handed or sterile neutrinos. We reexamine this model and find that the sterile neutrinos can be either hot, warm, or cold dark matter. Since their only direct coupling is to left-handed or active neutrinos, the most efficient production mechanism is via neutrino oscillations. If the production rate is always less than the expansion rate, then these neutrinos will never be in thermal equilibrium. However, enough of them may be produced so that they provide the missing mass necessary for closure. We consider a single generation of neutrino fields $\left (\nu_L,\,\nu_R\right )$ with a Dirac mass, $\mu$, and a Majorana mass for the right-handed components only, $M$. For $M\gg \mu$ we show that the number density of sterile neutrinos is proportional to $\mu^2/M$ so that the energy density today is {\it independent of} $M$. However $M$ is crucial in determining the large scale structure of the Universe. In particular, $M\simeq 0.1-1.0 {\rm ~keV}$ leads to warm dark matter and a structure formation scenario that may have some advantages over both the standard hot and cold dark matter scenarios.

It is usually argued that the Standard Model predicts slow D^0-\bar D^0 oscillations with \Delta M_D, \Delta \Gamma_D < 10^{-3}*\Gamma_D$ and that New Physics can reveal itself through \Delta M_D exceeding 10^{-3}*\Gamma_D. It is believed that the bulk of the effect is due to long distance dynamics that cannot be described at the quark level. We point out that in general the OPE yields soft GIM suppression scaling only like (m_s/\mu_{hadr})^2 and even like m_s/\mu_{hadr} rather than m_s^4/m_c^4 of the simple quark box diagram. Such contributions can actually yield \Delta M_D, \Delta \Gamma_D \sim O(10^{-3})*\Gamma_D without invoking additional long distance effects. They are reasonably suppressed as long as the OPE and local duality are qualitatively applicable in the 1/m_c expansion. We stress the importance of improving the sensitivity on \Delta \Gamma_D as well as \Delta M_D in a dedicated fashion as a laboratory for analyzing the onset of quark-hadron duality and comment on the recent preliminary study on \Delta \Gamma_D by the FOCUS group.

We use a continuum quark+diquark approach to the nucleon bound-state problem in relativistic quantum field theory to deliver parameter-free predictions for the nucleon axial and induced pseudoscalar form factors, $G_A$ and $G_P$, and unify them with the pseudoscalar form factor $G_5$ or, equivalently, the pion-nucleon form factor $G_{\pi NN}$. We explain how partial conservation of the axial-vector current and the associated Goldberger-Treiman relation are satisfied once all necessary couplings of the external current to the building blocks of the nucleon are constructed consistently; in particular, we fully resolve the seagull couplings to the diquark-quark vertices associated with the axial-vector and pseudoscalar currents. Among the results we describe, the following are worth highlighting. A dipole form factor defined by an axial charge $g_A=G_A(0)=1.25(3)$ and a mass-scale $M_A = 1.23(3) m_N$, where $m_N$ is the nucleon mass, can accurately describe the pointwise behaviour of $G_A$. Concerning $G_P$, we obtain the pseudoscalar charge $g_p^\ast = 8.80(23)$, and find that the pion pole dominance approach delivers a reliable estimate of the directly computed result. Our computed value of the pion-nucleon coupling constant, $g_{\pi NN}/m_N =14.02(33)/{\rm GeV}$ is consistent with recent precision determinations.

A formalism for the evaluation of the intensity of photon and gluon bremsstrahlung in QED and QCD condensed media is presented which considers general interactions beyond the Fokker-Planck/Gaussian approximation, the angular distribution of the final particles and admits finite or structured target calculations. The Boltzmann/transport approaches of Migdal, Bell and the Baier-Dokshitzer-Mueller-Peign\'e-Schiff group, and the light-cone path integral formalisms of Zakharov and Wiedemann and Gyulassy are recovered as particular cases within the Fokker-Planck limit, which assumes Brownian motion for the intervening particles. Weinberg's soft photon theorem is shown to saturate the Landau-Pomeranchuk-Migdal supression in the soft photon/gluon regime of vanishing phases. The intensity under realistic screened interactions is larger than the existing Fokker-Planck results by a factor 3-4 and the changes can not be accounted for by a single definition of the medium transport properties through $\hat{q}$. This may also suggest that larger gluon elastic cross sections, leading to the hypothesis of strongly coupled Quark Gluon Plasma, may not be required to match the data.

Neutrino cross section and oscillation measurements depend critically on modeling of hadronic final state interactions (FSI). Often, this is one of the largest components of uncertainty in a measurement. This is because of the difficulty in modeling strong interactions in nuclei in a consistent quantum-mechanical framework. FSI models are most often validated using hadron-nucleus data which introduces further uncertainties. The alternative is to use transparency data where the hadron starts propagating from inside the nucleus and the probability of interaction is measured as a function of hadron energy. This work examines the relationship between the $\pi^+$ and proton total reaction cross section and transparency from a simulation viewpoint.

In some models, exotic baryons with strangeness and anticharm or antibeauty should exist and even be stable against strong decay. We consider the stability of such possible exotic baryons, which in the constituent quark picture are called pentaquarks (each is composed of four quarks and an antiquark). Our model is based on diquark clustering and supersymmetry in hadrons, and assumes that the spin-dependent force between quarks arises from one-gluon exchange. In the model, a pentaquark with strangeness and anticharm can decay strongly, but an analogous pentaquark with an antibeauty quark is stable except for weak decay.

Precision measurements of $Z$-boson parameters and $W$-boson and $t$-quark masses put strong constraints on non $SU(2)\times U(1)$ singlet New Physics. We demonstrate that one extra generation passes electroweak constraints even when all new particle masses are well above their direct mass bounds.

We study the phase diagram and the pion modes in the electrically neutral two flavor PNJL model. One of the main result of this paper is that when electrical neutrality is required, pions do not condense in the ground state of the model: the isospin chemical potential $\mu_I = -\mu_e/2$ is always smaller than the value required for pion condensation to occur. Moreover we investigate on the pions and $\sigma$ mass spectra. We find that the qualitative behavior of the masses resembles that obtained in the NJL model. We close this paper by studying the intriguing possibility that a bound state with the quantum numbers of the pions can be formed above the chiral phase transition.

Using data from RHIC we are able to systematically improve the two-component Dual Parton Model (DPM) event generator DPMJET-III. Introducing percolation parametrized as fusion of chains the model describes multiplicities and pseudorapidity distributions in nucleus-nucleus collisions at all centralities. Guided by the d-Au data from RHIC we recalibrate the model to obtain collision scaling in h-A and d-A collisions.

We provide a model independent criterion which would guarantee a large flavor mixing of two quasi-degenerate Majorana neutrinos at the low scale, irrespective of the mixing at the high scale. We also show that such a situation is realizable for a phenomenologically interesting range of parameters of the weak scale theory. We further show that for a similar condition to be implementable for the three generation case, the CP parity of one of the neutrinos needs to be opposite to that of the others.

In this talk, I present the recent theoretical results on the electrical conductivity (EC) sigma of quark matter, using the Kubo formula at finite temperature and zero quark density (T>0, mu=0) in the presence of an external strong magnetic field. The dilute instanton-liquid model with the caloron distribution is taken into account. It turns out that sigma=(0.02~0.15)/fm for T=(0~400) MeV with the relaxation time tau=(0.3~0.9) fm. EC is parameterized as sigma/T (0.46,0.77,1.08,1.39)C_EM for tau=(0.3,0.5,0.7,0.9) fm, respectively. These results are well compatible with other theoretical estimations and show almost negligible effects from the magnetic field. The soft photon emission rate from the quark-gluon plasma is discussed as well.

We integrate out fast varying quantum fluctuations around static A_4 and A_i fields for the SU(N) gauge group. By assuming that the gluon fields are slowly varying but allowing for an arbitrary amplitude of A_4 we obtain two variants of the effective high-temperature theory for the Polyakov line. One is the effective action for the gauge-invariant eigenvalues of the Polyakov line, and it is explicitly Z(N) symmetric. The other is the effective action for the Polyakov line itself as an element of the SU(N). In this case the theory necessarily includes the spatial components A_i to ensure its gauge invariance under spatial gauge transformations. We derive the 1-loop effective action in the `electric' and `magnetic' sectors, summing up all powers of A_4.

The parton distribution function for a b quark in the B meson (called the shape function) plays an important role in the analysis of the B -> X_s gamma and B -> X_u l nu data, and gives one of the dominant uncertainties in the determination of |Vub|. We introduce a new framework to treat the shape function, which consistently incorporates its renormalization group evolution and all constraints on its shape and moments in any short distance mass scheme. At the same time it allows a reliable treatment of the uncertainties. We develop an expansion in a suitable complete set of orthonormal basis functions, which provides a procedure for systematically controlling the uncertainties due to the unknown functional form of the shape function. This is a significant improvement over fits to model functions. Given any model for the shape function, our construction gives an orthonormal basis in which the model occurs as the first term, and corrections to it can be studied. We introduce a new short distance scheme, the "invisible scheme", for the kinetic energy matrix element, lambda_1. We obtain closed form results for the differential rates that incorporate perturbative corrections and a summations of logarithms at any order in perturbation theory, and present results using known next-to-next-to-leading order expressions. The experimental implementation of our framework is straightforward.

One such circumstance may arise at high temperature $T$, which perhaps can be attained in heavy ion collisions or in astrophysical settings. It is natural therefore to examine the high-temperature behavior of the standard model, and here I shall report on recent progress in constructing the high-$T$ limit of~QCD.

We study the impact of the Randall-Sundrum setup on the width difference $\Delta\Gamma_s$ and the CP-violating phase $\phi_s$ in the $\bar B_s^0$-$B_s^0$ system. Our calculations are performed in the general framework of an effective theory, based on operator product expansion. The result can thus be used for many new physics models. We find that the correction to the magnitude of the decay amplitude $\Gamma_{12}$ is below 4% for a realistic choice of input parameters. The main modification in the $\Delta\Gamma_s/\beta_s$-plane is caused by a new CP-violating phase in the mixing amplitude, which allows for a better agreement with the experimental results of CDF and D\O from $B_s^0\rightarrow J/\psi\phi\,$ decays. The best-fit value of the CP asymmetry $S_{\psi\phi}$ can be reproduced, while simultaneously the theoretical prediction for the semileptonic CP asymmetry $A_{\rm SL}^s$ can enter the $1\sigma$ range.

The problem of cluster formation and growth in first-order quark-hadron phase transition in heavy-ion collisions is considered. Behaving as Brownian particles, the clusters carry out random walks and can encounter one another, leading to coalescence and breakup. A simulation of the process in cellular automaton suggests the possibility of a scaling distribution in the cluster sizes. The experimental determination of the cluster-size distribution is urged as a means to find a clear signature of phase transition.

In this work we show that the general singlet extension of the MSSM can naturally provide a self-interacting singlino dark matter to solve the small cosmological scale anomalies (a large Sommerfeld enhancement factor can also be obtained). However, we find that the NMSSM (the singlet extension of the MSSM with Z3 symmetry) cannot achieve this due to the restricted parameter space. In our analysis we introduce the concept of symmetric and antisymmetric viscosity cross sections to deal with the non-relativistic Majorana-fermion dark matter scattering.

We point out the important correlation with $\mathcal{B}(B\to K^{\ast} \nu\bar{\nu})$ so that the measurement of that decay mode could help restraining the possible options for building the model of New Physics. We then try to interpret this new experimental result in terms of physics beyond the Standard Model by using SMEFT and find that a scenario with coupling only to $\tau$ can accommodate the current experimental constraints but fails in getting a desired $R_{D^{(\ast )}}^\mathrm{exp}/R_{D^{(\ast )}}^\mathrm{SM}$, unless one turns the other SMEFT operators that are not related to $b\to s\ell\ell$ or/and $b\to s\nu\nu$.

If accessible at LEP II, chargino production is likely to be one of the few available supersymmetric signals for many years. We consider the prospects for the determination of fundamental supersymmetry parameters in such a scenario. The study is complicated by the dependence of observables on a large number of these parameters. We propose a straightforward procedure for disentangling these dependences and demonstrate its effectiveness by presenting a number of case studies at representative points in parameter space. Working in the context of the minimal supersymmetric standard model, we find that chargino production by itself is a fairly sensitive probe of the supersymmetry-breaking sector. For significant regions of parameter space, it is possible to test the gaugino mass unification hypothesis and to measure the gaugino contents of the charginos and neutralinos, thereby testing the predictions of grand unification and the viability of the lightest supersymmetric particle as a dark matter candidate. For much of the parameter space, it is also possible to set limits on the mass of the electron sneutrino, which provide a valuable guide for future particle searches.

If accessible at LEP II, chargino production is likely to be one of the few available supersymmetric signals for many years. We consider the prospects for the determination of fundamental supersymmetry parameters in such a scenario. The study is complicated by the dependence of observables on a large number of these parameters. We propose a straightforward procedure for disentangling these dependences and demonstrate its effectiveness by presenting a number of case studies at representative points in parameter space.

We calculate the polarization of prompt $J/\psi$ and $\Upsilon$(1S) production using the color evaporation model at leading order. We present the polarization parameter $\lambda_\vartheta$ as a function of center of mass energy and rapidity in $p+p$ collisions. We also compare the $x_F$ dependence to experimental results in $p$+Cu and $\pi$+W collisions, and predict the $x_F$ dependence in $p$+Pb collisions at fixed-target energies. At energies far above the $Q\overline{Q}$ production threshold, we find the prompt $J/\psi$ and $\Upsilon$(1S) production to be longitudinally polarized with $\lambda_\vartheta^{J/\psi}=-0.51^{+0.05}_{-0.16}$ and $\lambda_\vartheta^{\Upsilon \rm{(1S)}}=-0.69^{+0.03}_{-0.02}$. Both prompt $J/\psi$ and prompt $\Upsilon$(1S) are also longitudinally polarized at central rapidity, becoming transversely polarized at the most forward rapidities.

Their properties are revealed by simulating the corresponding scattering channels pi-pi, K-pi and D-pi on the lattice and extracting the scattering phase shifts. In particular we address the resonances rho, D0*(2400), D1(2430), K*, kappa and K0*(1430).

Magnetic monopoles have been a subject of interest since Dirac established the relation between the existence of monopoles and charge quantization. The Dirac quantization condition bestows the monopole with a huge magnetic charge. We study the scattering of charged ions by monopoles and use backscattering techniques to devise a method to detect monopoles bound in matter.

Dark matter candidates comprising several sub-states separated by a small mass gap, and coupled to the Standard Model by (sub-)GeV force carriers, can exhibit non-trivial scattering interactions in direct detection experiments. We analyze the secluded U(1)-mediated WIMP scenario, and calculate the elastic and inelastic cross sections for multi-component WIMP scattering off nuclei. We find that second-order elastic scattering, mediated by virtual excited states, provides strong sensitivity to the parameters of the model for a wide range of mass splittings, while for small splittings the WIMP excited states have lifetimes exceeding the age of the universe, and generically have a fractional relative abundance above 0.1%. This generates even stronger constraints for mass splittings less than 200 keV due to exothermic de-excitation events in detectors.

With recent advances in the precision of inclusive lepton--nuclear scattering experiments, it has become apparent that comparable improvements are needed in the accuracy of the theoretical analysis tools. In particular, when extracting parton distribution functions in the large-x region, it is crucial to correct the data for effects associated with the nonzero mass of the target. We present here a comprehensive review of these target mass corrections (TMC) to structure functions data, summarizing the relevant formulas for TMCs in electromagnetic and weak processes. We include a full analysis of both hadronic and partonic masses, and trace how these effects appear in the operator product expansion and the factorized parton model formalism, as well as their limitations when applied to data in the x->1 limit. We evaluate the numerical effects of TMCs on various structure functions, and compare fits to data with and without these corrections.

We propose a coherent explanation for the 750 GeV diphoton anomaly and the hints of deviations from Lepton Flavor Universality in B decays in terms a new strongly interacting sector with vectorlike confinement. The diphoton excess arises from the decay of one of the pseudo-Nambu-Goldstone bosons of the new sector, while the flavor anomalies are a manifestation of the exchange of the corresponding vector resonances (with masses in the 1.5-2.5 TeV range). We provide explicit examples (with detailed particle content and group structure) of the new sector, discussing both the low-energy flavor-physics phenomenology and the signatures at high $p_T$. We show that specific models can provide an excellent fit to all available data. A key feature of all realizations is a sizable broad excess in the tails of $\tau^+ \tau^-$ invariant mass distribution in $p p \to \tau^+ \tau^-$, that should be accessible at the LHC in the near future.

We investigate phenomenology related to the neutral fields in supersymmetric models with an extra U(1) derived from $E_6$. Our study is concentrated into the models which have a singlino dominated neutralino as the lightest superparticle (LSP). If such models satisfy a constraint for dark matter derived from the WMAP data, the lightest neutral Higgs scalar, a new neutral gauge field $Z^\prime$ and the LSP may be interesting targets for the study at the LHC. We also discuss features of the $Z^\prime$ in the models and its detectability at the LHC.

We investigate the pion electromagnetic half off-shell form factors, which parametrize the matrix element of the charged pion electromagnetic current with one leg off-mass-shell and the other leg on-mass-shell, using an exactly solvable manifestly covariant model of a $(3+1)$ dimensional fermion field theory. The model provides a 3D imaging of the two off-shell pion form factors $F_1$ and $F_2$ as a function of $(Q^2,t)$, which are related to each other satisfying the Ward-Takahashi identity. The normalization of the renormalized charge form factor $F_1$ is fixed by $F_1(Q^2=0, t=m^2_\pi)=1$ while the other form factor $F_2$ vanishes, i.e. $F_2(Q^2, t=m^2_\pi)=0$ for any value of $Q^2$ due to the time-reversal invariance of the strong interaction. We define the new form factor $g(Q^2,t)=F_2(Q^2,t)/(t-m^2_\pi)$ and find that $g(Q^2,t)$ can be measurable in the on-mass-shell limit. In particular, $g(Q^2=0, t=m^2_\pi)$ is related with the pion charge radius. We also compare our form factors with the data extracted from the pion electroproduction reaction for both the off-shell region ($t<0$) and the on-shell limit ($t \rightarrow m_\pi^2$).

Recent results from NLO QCD calculations for inclusive jet cross sections in gamma^*-gamma scattering at e+e- colliders, especially for LEP, are reported. The virtuality Q^2 of the virtual photon is non-zero and can be unlimited large. The virtuality of the second photon is zero and the spectrum is calculated with the Weizs"acker-Williams approximation. Four components of the cross sections have to be distinguished, involving direct and resolved real and virtual photon contributions. Since Q^2 is non-zero, the virtual photon structure function is needed to calculate the contributions involving a resolved virtual photon.

Observation of a sequence of resonances at an e-e- collider would suggest bound states of strongly coupled constituents carrying lepton number. Obvious candidates for these exotic constituents are leptoquarks and leptogluons. We show that under reasonable assumptions, the existence of one leptogluon flavor of appropriate mass can give rise to sizeable ``leptoglueball'' production rates and observable resonance peaks. In contrast, one needs two leptoquark flavors in order to produce the analogous ``leptoquarkonium'' states. Moreover, cross-generational leptoquark couplings are necessary to give observable event rates in many cases, and leptoquarkonium mass splittings are too small to resolve with realistic beam energy resolutions.

The effects of "quark sea" in determining the flavor structure of the octet baryons have been investigated in the chiral constituent quark model (\chiCQM). The \chiCQM is able to qualitatively generate the requisite amount of quark sea and is also known to provide a satisfactory explanation of the proton spin and related issues in the nonperturbative regime. The Bjorken scaling variable x has been included phenomenologically in the sea quark distribution functions to understand its implications on the quark sea asymmetries like \bar d(x)-\bar (x), \bar d(x)/\bar u(x) and Gottfried integral for the octet baryons. The results strengthen the importance of quark sea at lower values of x.

Dark matter that possesses a particle-antiparticle asymmetry and has thermalised in the early universe, requires a larger annihilation cross-section compared to symmetric dark matter, in order to deplete the dark antiparticles and account for the observed dark matter density. The annihilation cross-section determines the residual symmetric component of dark matter, which may give rise to annihilation signals during CMB and inside haloes today. We consider dark matter with long-range interactions, in particular dark matter coupled to a light vector or scalar force mediator. We compute the couplings required to attain a final antiparticle-to-particle ratio after the thermal freeze-out of the annihilation processes in the early universe, and then estimate the late-time annihilation signals. We show that, due to the Sommerfeld enhancement, highly asymmetric dark matter with long-range interactions can have a significant annihilation rate, potentially larger than symmetric dark matter of the same mass with contact interactions. We discuss caveats in this estimation, relating to the formation of stable bound states. Finally, we consider the non-relativistic partial-wave unitarity bound on the inelastic cross-section, we discuss why it can be realised only by long-range interactions, and showcase the importance of higher partial waves in this regime of large inelasticity. We derive upper bounds on the mass of symmetric and asymmetric thermal-relic dark matter for s-wave and p-wave annihilation, and exhibit how these bounds strengthen as the dark asymmetry increases.

We show that spontaneous breaking of discrete or continuous symmetries does not necessarily imply either symmetry restoration or the thermal production of defects at high temperature (at least up to $T \sim M_{Planck}$). This may imply that there is no domain wall problem. As an example we show how this applies to the Peccei-Quinn scenario.

We present a theoretical reappraisal of the branching ratios and CP asymmetries for the decays $ B \to X_q \ell^+ \ell^-$, with $q=d,s$, taking into account current theoretical uncertainties in the description of the inclusive decay amplitudes from the long-distance contributions, an improved treatment of the renormalization scale dependence, and other parametric dependencies. Concentrating on the partial branching ratios $\Delta {\cal B}(B \to X_q \ell^+ \ell^-)$, integrated over the invariant dilepton mass region $1 {GeV}^2 \leq s \leq 6 {GeV}^2$, we calculate theoretical precision on the charge-conjugate averaged partial branching ratios $<\Delta{\cal B}_q >= (\Delta {\cal B}(B \to X_q \ell^+ \ell^-) + \Delta {\cal B}(\bar{B} \to \bar{X}_q \ell^+ \ell^-))/2$, CP asymmetries in partial decay rates $(a_{CP})_q=(\Delta {\cal B}(B \to X_q \ell^+ \ell^-) - \Delta {\cal B}(\bar{B} \to \bar{X}_q \ell^+ \ell^-))/(2 < \Delta{\cal B}_q >)$, and the ratio of the branching ratios $\Delta {\cal R} = < \Delta{\cal B}_d >/< \Delta{\cal B}_s>$. For the central values of the CKM parameters, we find $<\Delta {\cal B}_s > =(2.22^{+0.29}_{-0.30}) \times 10^{-6}$, $<\Delta {\cal B}_d > =(9.61^{+1.32}_{-1.47}) \times 10^{-8}$, $(a_{CP})_s =-(0.19^{+0.17}_{-0.19})%$, $(a_{CP})_d =(4.40^{+3.87}_{-4.46})%$, and $\Delta {\cal R} =(4.32 \pm 0.03)%$. The dependence of $<\Delta{\cal B}_d>$ and $\Delta {\cal R}$ on the CKM parameters is worked out and the resulting constraints on the unitarity triangle from an eventual measurement of $\Delta {\cal R}$ are illustrated.

We present selected results from a calculation of meson and nucleon observables in a Green-function approach. A rainbow-ladder truncation of QCD's Dyson-Schwinger equations is used to solve the respective meson, diquark and quark-diquark Bethe-Salpeter equations. It allows for a simultaneous description of meson and nucleon masses and electromagnetic properties from an effective quark-gluon interaction. The results describe a hadronic quark core which agrees with lattice data for heavy quarks whereas pion-cloud effects are missing towards the chiral limit. The neutron's Dirac form factor is negative due to the presence of axial-vector diquark correlations.

Heavy flavour production like $J/\psi$ and $D$- meson production in scattering of electrons/unpolarized protons off polarized proton target offer promising probes to investigate gluon Sivers function. In this talk, I will summarize our recent work on trasverse single spin asymmetry in $J/\psi $ -production and $D$ - meson production in $p p^\uparrow$ scattering using a generalized parton model approach. We compare predictions obtained using different models of gluon Sivers function within this approach and then, taking into account the transverse momentum dependent evolution of the unpolarized parton distribution functions and gluon Sivers function, we study the effect of evolution on asymmetry.

The availability of a reliable bound on an integral involving the square of the modulus of a form factor on the unitarity cut allows one to constrain the form factor at points inside the analyticity domain and its shape parameters, and also to isolate domains on the real axis and in the complex energy plane where zeros are excluded. In this lecture note, we review the mathematical techniques of this formalism in its standard form, known as the method of unitarity bounds, and recent developments which allow us to include information on the phase and modulus along a part of the unitarity cut. We also provide a brief summary of some results that we have obtained in the recent past, which demonstrate the usefulness of the method for precision predictions on the form factors.

We consider within QCD collinear factorization the inclusive process $p+p\to h_1+h_2+X$, where the pair of identified hadrons, $h_1,h_2$, having large transverse momenta is produced in high-energy proton-proton collisions. In particular, we concentrate on the kinematics where the two identified hadrons in the final state are separated by a large interval of rapidity $\Delta y$. In this case the (calculable) hard part of the reaction receives large higher order corrections $\sim \alpha^n_s \Delta y^n$. We provide a theoretical input for the resummation of such contributions with next-to-leading logarithmic accuracy (NLA) in the BFKL approach. Specifically, we calculate in NLA the vertex (impact-factor) for the inclusive production of the identified hadron. This process has much in common with the widely discussed Mueller-Navelet jets production and can be also used to access the BFKL dynamics at proton colliders. Another application of the obtained identified-hadron vertex could be the NLA BFKL description of inclusive forward hadron production in DIS.

Light-cone distribution amplitudes (LCDAs) frequently arise in factorization theorems involving light and heavy mesons. The QCD LCDA for heavy mesons includes short-distance physics at energy scales of the heavy-quark mass. In this paper we achieve the separation of this perturbative scale from the purely hadronic effects by matching the QCD LCDA to the convolution of a perturbative function with the universal, quark-mass independent LCDA defined in heavy-quark effective theory. This factorization allows to resum potentially large logarithms between $\Lambda_{\rm QCD}$ and $m_Q$ as well as between $m_Q$ and the scale $Q$ of the hard process in the production of boosted heavy mesons at colliders. As an application we derive new theoretical predictions for the branching ratio of the decay $W^\pm \to B^\pm \gamma$. Furthermore, we provide phenomenological models for the QCD LCDAs of both the $\bar{B}$ and $D$ mesons expressed as expansions in Gegenbauer polynomials.

We study the potential benefits of an iodine-based solar-neutrino detector for testing hypotheses that involve neutrino oscillations. We argue that such a detector will have a good chance of distinguishing the two allowed regions of $\Delta m^2$ -- $\sin^22\theta$ parameter space if neutrino conversion is occurring in the sun. It should also be able to detect seasonal variations in the signal due to vacuum oscillations and might be sensitive enough to detect day/night variations due to MSW transitions in the earth. Although it would need to be calibrated, a working iodine detector could be completed before more ambitious projects that seek to accomplish the same things.

We study electron-positron pair creation by a strong and constant electric field superimposed with a weaker transversal plane wave which is incident perpendicularly (or under some angle). Comparing the fully non-perturbative approach based on the world-line instanton method with a perturbative expansion into powers of the strength of the weaker plane wave, we find good agreement - provided that the latter is carried out to sufficiently high orders. As usual for the dynamically assisted Sauter-Schwinger effect, the additional plane wave induces an exponential enhancement of the pair-creation probability if the combined Keldysh parameter exceeds a certain threshold.

The ability of linear colliders to test physics at the post-GUT scale is investigated. Using current estimates of measurements available at such accelerators, it is seen that soft breaking masses can be measured with errors of about (1-20)%. Three classes of models in the post-GUT region are examined: models with universal soft breaking masses at the string scale, models with horizontal symmetry, and string models with Calabi-Yau compactifications. In each case, linear colliders would be able to test directly theoretical assumptions made at energies beyond the GUT scale to a good accuracy, distinguish between different models, and measure parameters that are expected to be predictions of string models.

We point out that the effective theory for the Randall-Sundrum braneworld models with bulk fields contains the baryon number violation process depending on the spacetime dynamics. Combining to the curvature-current interaction, the net baryon number observed today may be explained. The resultant baryon to entropy ratio is determined by the ratio of the Planck scales in four dimensional and five dimensional spacetime except for the parameter for CP violation.

We introduce the CP violating scalar leptoquark $S_3$ to explain the measured values of the lepton universality ratios $R_{K^{(*)}}$. We derive constraints on the CP-even and CP-odd components of the leptoquark Yukawa couplings stemming from effects in $b \to s \mu \mu$ and $B_s$ mixing. For the $b \to s \mu \mu$ processes we impose $R_{K^{(*)}}$, $\mathcal{B}(B_s \to \mu^+ \mu^-)$, as well as CP-sensitive angular asymmetries $A_{7,8,9}$, whereas in the $B_s$ mixing sector $\Delta M_s$ and $S_{\psi\phi}$ are considered. Combining the constraints within the $S_3$ model reveals that a large CP phase with a definite sign is perfectly viable for a leptoquark of mass below a few TeV. For larger mass of the $S_3$ leptoquark the CP phase is suppressed due to the observables pertaining to the $B_s$ system. We provide predictions of direct and mixing-induced CP asymmetries in $B \to K \mu \mu$ that could reveal the presence of the novel CP phase.

Considering the BFKL and DGLAP QCD evolution equations for structure functions, we discuss the possibility of unifying them in the whole $x$ and $Q^2$ range. We emphasize that the main problem is related to the constraint of angular ordering of the radiation, and the cancellation of the related collinear singularities for inclusive processes. At the leading log\ $1/x$ and log\ $Q^2$ level, we write down a unified system of equations satisfying this cancellation constraint. At low $x$, it leads to a less singular behaviour of the structure functions than the BFKL prediction.

The dynamical fluctuations of kaon--to--pion ratios have been studied over a wide range of center--of--mass energies $\sqrt{s}$. Based on changing phase space volume which apparently is the consequence of phase transition from hadrons to quark--gluon plasma at large $\sqrt{s}$, single--particle distribution function $f$ is assumed to be rather modified. Varying $f$ and phase space volume are implemented in the grand--canonical partition function, especially at large $\sqrt{s}$, so that hadron resonance gas model, when taking into account the experimental acceptance and quark phase space occupation factor, turns to be able to reproduce the dynamical fluctuations over the entire range of $\sqrt{s}$.

We have studied the strangeness changing antineutrino induced reactions $\bar{\nu}_{l} p \rightarrow l^+ \phi B $, with $\phi B = K^-p$, $\bar{K}^0n$, $\pi^0\Lambda$, $\pi^0\Sigma^0$, $\eta\Lambda$, $\eta\Sigma^0$, $\pi^+\Sigma^-$, $\pi^-\Sigma^+$, $K^+\Xi^-$ and $K^0\Xi^0$, using a chiral unitary approach. These ten coupled channels are allowed to interact strongly, using a kernel derived from the chiral Lagrangians. This interaction generates two $\Lambda(1405)$ poles, leading to a clear single peak in the $\pi \Sigma$ invariant mass distributions. At backward scattering angles in the center of mass frame, $\bar{\nu}_{\mu} p \rightarrow \mu^+ \pi^0 \Sigma^0$ is dominated by the $\Lambda(1405)$ state at around 1420~MeV while the lighter state becomes relevant as the angle decreases, leading to an asymmetric line shape. In addition, there are substantial differences in the shape of $\pi \Sigma$ invariant mass distributions for the three charge channels. If observed, these differences would provide valuable information on a claimed isospin I=1, strangeness S=-1 baryonic state around 1400 MeV. Integrated cross sections have been obtained for the $\pi \Sigma$ and $\bar K N$ channels, investigating the impact of unitarization in the results. The number of events with $\Lambda(1405)$ excitation in $\bar\nu_\mu p$ collisions in the recent antineutrino run at the MINERvA experiment has also been obtained. We find that this reaction channel is relevant enough to be investigated experimentally and to be taken into account in the simulation models of future experiments with antineutrino beams.

We suggest the model with the gauge group $ ... \otimes SU(6) \otimes SU(5)\otimes SU(4) \otimes SU(3) \otimes SU(2) \otimes U(1)$. This group is the infinite continuation of the gauge group $SU(4) \otimes SU(3) \otimes SU(2) \otimes U(1)$ of Farhi - Susskind model. The constructed model contains fermions from the fundamental representations of any SU(N) subgroups of the gauge group. In the construction of the model we use essentially the requirement that it posseses an additional discrete symmetry $\cal Z$ that is the continuation of the $Z_6$ symmetry of the Standard Model. It has been found that there exists such a choice of the hypercharges of the fermions that the chiral anomaly is absent while the symmetry $\cal Z$ is preserved.

The symmetry breaking of left right symmetric model around few TeV range permits the existence of massive right handed neutrinos or gauge bosons. In this work the decay of lightest right handed neutrinos in a class of minimal left right symmetric model is analysed for the generation of adequate lepton asymmetry. An analytical expression for the lepton asymmetry is developed. In an attempt to achieve the required baryogenesis, we have imposed certain constrains on the parameter space corresponding to low energy neutrino oscillation parameters (especially {\theta} 13 ) and the three phases ( CP, majorana and higher energy phase).

The possibility of the first measurement of Bjorken unpolarized sum rule for $F_1$ structure function of $\nu N$ deep-inelastic scattering at Neutrino Factories is commented. The brief summary of various theoretical contributions to this sum rule is given. Using the next-to-leading set of parton distributions functions, we simulate the expected $Q^2$-behavior and emphasize that its measurement can allow to determine the value of the QCD strong coupling constant $\alpha_s$ with reasonable theoretical uncertainty, dominated by the ambiguity in the existing estimates of the twist-4 non-perturbative $1/Q^2$-effect.

We show how the generation of right-handed neutrino masses in Majoron models may be associated with a first-order phase transition and accompanied by the production of a stochastic background of gravitational waves (GWs). We explore different energy scales with only renormalizable operators in the effective potential. If the phase transition occurs above the electroweak scale, the signal can be tested by future interferometers. We consider two possible energy scales for phase transitions below the electroweak scale. If the phase transition occurs at a GeV, the signal can be tested at LISA and provide a complementary cosmological probe to right-handed neutrino searches at the FASER detector. If the phase transition occurs below 100 keV, we find that the peak of the GW spectrum is two or more orders of magnitude below the putative NANOGrav GW signal at low frequencies, but well within reach of the SKA and THEIA experiments. We show how searches of very low frequency GWs are motivated by solutions to the Hubble tension in which ordinary neutrinos interact with the dark sector. We also present general calculations of the phase transition temperature and Euclidean action that apply beyond Majoron models.

We describe basics of a new approach to transverse momentum dependence in hard exclusive processes. We develop it in application to the transition process \gamma^* \gamma -> \pi^0 at the handbag level. Our starting point is coordinate representation for matrix elements of operators (in the simplest case, bilocal O (0,z) ) describing a hadron with momentum p. Treated as functions of (pz) and z^2, they are parametrized through virtuality distribution amplitudes (VDA) \Phi (x, \sigma), with x being Fourier-conjugate to (pz) and \sigma Laplace-conjugate to z^2. For intervals with z^+=0, we introduce the transverse momentum distribution amplitude (TMDA) \Psi (x, k_\perp), and write it in terms of VDA \Phi (x, \sigma). The results of covariant calculations, written in terms of \Phi (x, \sigma) are converted into expressions involving \Psi (x, k_\perp). Starting with scalar toy models, we extend the analysis onto the case of spin-1/2 quarks and QCD. We propose simple models for soft VDAs/TMDAs, and use them for comparison of handbag results with experimental (BaBar and BELLE) data on the pion transition form factor. We also discuss how one can generate high-k_\perp tails from primordial soft distributions.

We develop an efficient method for solving transport equations, particularly in the context of electroweak baryogenesis. It provides fully-analytical results under mild approximations and can also test semi-analytical results, which are applicable in more general cases. Key elements of our method include the reduction of the second-order differential equations to first order, representing the set of coupled equations as a block matrix of the particle densities and their derivatives, identification of zero modes, and block decomposition of the matrix. We apply our method to calculate the baryon asymmetry of the Universe (BAU) in a Standard Model effective field theory framework of complex Yukawa couplings to determine the sensitivity of the resulting BAU to modifications of various model parameters and rates, and to estimate the effect of the commonly-used thin-wall approximation.

We assess the extent to which the NMSSM can allow for light dark matter in the $2\gev\lsim \mcnone\lsim 12\gev$ mass range with correct relic density and large spin-independent direct-detection cross section, $\sigsi$, in the range suggested by \cogent\ and DAMA. For standard assumptions regarding nucleon $s$-quark content and cosmological relic density, $\rho$, we find that the NMSSM falls short by a factor of about 10 to 15 (3 to 5) without (with) significant violation of the current $(g-2)_\mu$ constraints.

Neutrino masses and quantum gravity are strong reasons to extend the standard model of particle physics. A large extra dimension can be motivated by quantum gravity and can explain the small neutrino masses with new singlet states that propagate in the bulk. In such a case, a Kaluza-Klein tower of sterile neutrinos emerges. We revisit constraints on towers of sterile neutrinos that come from cosmological observables such as the effective number of noninteracting relativistic species and the dark matter density. These limits generically rule out micron-sized extra dimensions. We explore the weakening of these constraints to accommodate an extra dimension close to the micron size by assuming that the universe reheated after inflation to a low temperature. We discuss how such a possibility can be distinguished in the event of a positive signal in a cosmological observable.

Dark matter particles with a mass around 1 eV can decay into near-infrared photons. Utilising available public blank sky observations from the NIRSpec IFU on the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), we search for a narrow emission line due to decaying dark matter and derive leading constraints in the mass range 0.8-3 eV on the decay rate to photons, and more specifically, on the axion-photon coupling for the case of axion-like particles. We exclude $\tau < 6.7\cdot 10^{26}$ s at $m_{\rm DM} \simeq 0.9$ eV and, in the case of axions, $g_{a \gamma \gamma} > 9.4 \cdot 10^{-12}$ GeV$^{-1}$ for $m_a = 2.15$ eV. Our results do not rely on dedicated observations, rather we use blank sky observations intended for sky subtraction, and thus our reach may be automatically strengthened as JWST continues to observe.

The jet colour ring is a novel colour tagger observable designed to separate the decay of a colour-singlet into two jets from a two-jet background in a different colour configuration. Simulation studies in the case of the production of a boosted Higgs boson decaying in two b-quarks and an associate electroweak boson, showed notable discriminator powers when comparing the jet colour ring performances with other observables. These results are opening a wide scenario for further studies.

We discuss the flavor structure in a resolutions of magnetized $T^2/\mathbb{Z}_2$ orbifold models. The flavor structure of Yukawa couplings among chiral zero-modes is sensitive to radii of the resolved fixed points of $T^2/\mathbb{Z}_2$ orbifold. We show in concrete models that the realistic mass hierarchy and mixing angles of the quark sector can be realized at certain values of blow-up radii, where the number of parameters in the blow-up model can be smaller than toroidal orbifold one.

We describe the chiral phase transition for vector-like SU(N) gauge theories as a function of the number of quark flavors Nf by making use of an anomaly-induced effective potential. The potential depends explicitly on the full beta-function and the anomalous dimension \gamma of the quark mass operator. By using this potential we argue that chiral symmetry is restored for \gamma <1. A perturbative computation of \gamma then leads to an estimate of the critical value Nf^c for the transition.

We study the neutralino sector of the Minimal Non-minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MNSSM) where the $\mu$ problem of the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM) is solved without accompanying problems related with the appearance of domain walls. In the MNSSM as in the MSSM the lightest neutralino can be the absolutely stable lightest supersymmetric particle (LSP) providing a good candidate for the cold dark matter component of the Universe. In contrast with the MSSM the allowed range of the mass of the lightest neutralino in the MNSSM is limited. We establish the theoretical upper bound on the lightest neutralino mass in the framework of this model and obtain an approximate solution for this mass.

We analyze the one-loop effective potential and clarify the dependences of those masses on the Wilson line phase $\theta_H$. The radion mass varies 1-30GeV for $0.06\leq\sin\theta_H\leq 0.3$, while the Higgs mass is 150-200 GeV and depends on $\theta_H$ only logarithmically. The radion couplings to the standard model particles are sensitive to the warp factor, and are too small to detect at colliders in the region where the five-dimensional description is valid.

The role of $W$-exchange diagrams in baryonic $B$ decays is poorly understood, and often taken as insignificant and neglected. We show that charmful two-body baryonic $B\to {\bf B}_c \bar {\bf B}'$ decays provide a good test-bed for the study of the $W$-exchange topology, whose contribution is found to be non-negligible; here ${\bf B}_c$ is an anti-triplet or a sextet charmed baryon, and ${\bf \bar B}'$ an octet charmless (anti-)baryon. In particular, we calculate that ${\cal B}(\bar B^0\to\Sigma_c^{+}\bar p)=(2.9^{+0.8}_{-0.9})\times 10^{-6}$ in good agreement with the experimental upper bound. Its cousin $\bar B_s^0$ mode, $\bar B_s^0\to\Lambda^+_c\bar p$, is a purely $W$-exchange decay, hence is naturally suited for the study of the role of the $W$-exchange topology. We predict ${\cal B}(\bar B_s^0\to\Lambda^+_c\bar p)=(0.8\pm 0.3)\times 10^{-6}$, a relatively large branching ratio to be tested with a future measurement by the LHCb collaboration. Other predictions, such as ${\cal B}(\bar B^0\to\Xi_c^+\bar\Sigma^-)=(1.1\pm 0.4)\times 10^{-5}$, can be tested with future Belle II measurements.

In this talk we consider amplitudes for processes involving a Higgs boson, either scalar or pseudoscalar, plus four light partons. These amplitudes are relevant to the production of a Higgs boson plus two jets in hadronic collisions. They are also relevant to calculating the transverse momentum spectrum for Higgs bosons at next-to-leading order in the strong coupling. We work in the limit that the top quark is much heavier than the Higgs bosons and use effective Lagrangians for the interactions of gluons with the Higgs bosons. We present the amplitudes involving a Higgs boson and: 1) four gluons, 2) two quarks and two gluons; and 3) four quarks. We show that the pseudoscalar amplitudes are nearly identical to those for the scalar case, the only differences being the overall size and the relative signs between terms.

It is proven by explicit construction that regularization by dimensional reduction can be formulated in a mathematically consistent way. In this formulation the quantum action principle is shown to hold. This provides an intuitive and elegant relation between the D-dimensional Lagrangian and Ward or Slavnov-Taylor identities, and it can be used in particular to study to what extent dimensional reduction preserves supersymmetry. We give several examples of previously unchecked cases.

Dark matter may interact with the Standard Model through the kinetic mixing of dark photons, $A'$, with Standard Model photons. Such dark matter will accumulate in the Sun and annihilate into dark photons. The dark photons may then leave the Sun and decay into pairs of charged Standard Model particles that can be detected by the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer. The directionality of this "dark sunshine" is distinct from all astrophysical backgrounds, providing an opportunity for unambiguous dark matter discovery by AMS. We perform a complete analysis of this scenario including Sommerfeld enhancements of dark matter annihilation and the effect of the Sun's magnetic field on the signal, and we define a set of cuts to optimize the signal probability. With the three years of data already collected, AMS may discover dark matter with mass 1 TeV $\lesssim m_X \lesssim$ 10 TeV, dark photon masses $m_{A'} \sim \mathcal O(100)$ MeV, and kinetic mixing parameters $10^{-10} \lesssim \varepsilon \lesssim 10^{-8}$. The proposed search extends beyond existing beam dump and supernova bounds, and it is complementary to direct detection, probing the same region of parameter space for elastic dark matter, but potentially far more in the case of inelastic dark matter.
