Isospin-breaking (IB) effects are required for an evaluation of hadronic vacuum polarization at subpercent precision. While the dominant contributions arise from the $e^+e^-\to\pi^+\pi^-$ channel, also IB in the subleading channels can become relevant for a detailed understanding, e.g., of the comparison to lattice QCD. Here, we provide such an analysis for $e^+e^-\to 3\pi$ by extending our dispersive description of the process, including estimates of final-state radiation (FSR) and $\rho$-$\omega$ mixing. In particular, we develop a formalism to capture the leading infrared-enhanced effects in terms of a correction factor $\eta_{3\pi}$ that generalizes the analog treatment of virtual and final-state photons in the $2\pi$ case. The global fit to the $e^+e^-\to 3\pi$ data base, subject to constraints from analyticity, unitarity, and the chiral anomaly, gives $a_\mu^{3\pi}|_{\leq 1.8\,\text{GeV}}=45.91(53)\times 10^{-10}$ for the total $3\pi$ contribution to the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon, of which $a_\mu^\text{FSR}[3\pi]=0.51(1)\times 10^{-10}$ and $a_\mu^{\rho\text{-}\omega}[3\pi]=-2.68(70)\times 10^{-10}$ can be ascribed to IB. We argue that the resulting cancellation with $\rho$-$\omega$ mixing in $e^+e^-\to 2\pi$ can be understood from a narrow-resonance picture, and provide updated values for the vacuum-polarization-subtracted vector-meson parameters $M_\omega=782.70(3)\,\text{MeV}$, $M_\phi=1019.21(2)\,\text{MeV}$, $\Gamma_\omega=8.71(3)\,\text{MeV}$, and $\Gamma_\phi=4.27(1)\,\text{MeV}$.

The existence of a new strong interacting sector around E ~ 1 TeV is a common feature of Higgsless electroweak theories but also of theories with a light Higgs, for instance, when this is not elementary. In those schemes, this new interaction could be at the origin of an extended spectra with, in particular, spin-1 resonances that could be hinted in elastic gauge boson scattering. Information on those resonances, if they exist, must be contained in the low-energy couplings of the electroweak chiral effective theory. Using the facts that: i) the scattering of longitudinal gauge bosons, W_L, Z_L, can be well described in the high-energy region (E >> M_W) by the scattering of the corresponding Goldstone bosons (equivalence theorem) and that ii) the zeros of the scattering amplitude carry the information on the heavier spectrum that has been integrated out; we employ the O(p^4) electroweak chiral Lagrangian, with or without a light Higgs state to identify the parameter space region of the low-energy couplings where vector resonances may arise.

In this work, we derive lower mass bounds on the Z' gauge boson based on the dilepton data from LHC with 13 TeV of center-of-mass energy, and forecast the sensitivity of the High-Luminosity-LHC with $L=3000 fb^{-1}$, the High-Energy LHC with $\sqrt{s}=27$ TeV, and also at the Future Circular Collider with $\sqrt{s}=100$ TeV. We take into account the presence of exotic and invisible decays of the Z' gauge boson to find a more conservative and robust limit, different from previous studies. We investigate the impact of these new decays channels for several benchmark models in the scope of two different 3-3-1 models. We found that in the most constraining cases, LHC with $139fb^{-1}$ can impose $m_{Z^{\prime}}>4$ TeV. Moreover, we forecast HL-LHC, HE-LHC, and FCC bounds that yield $m_{Z^{\prime}}>5.8$ TeV, $m_{Z^{\prime}}>9.9$ TeV, and $m_{Z^{\prime}}> 27$ TeV, respectively. Lastly, put our findings into perspective with dark matter searches to show the region of parameter space where a dark matter candidate with the right relic density is possible.

We calculate the spin density matrix of the vector meson produced in e+e- annihilation at Z^0 pole. We show that the data imply a significant polarization for the antiquark which is created in the fragmentation process of the polarized initial quark and combines with the fragmenting quark to form the vector meson. The direction of polarization is opposite to that of the fragmenting quark and the magnitude is of the order of 0.5. A qualitative explanation of this result based on the LUND string fragmentation model is given.

Jet-matter interaction remains a central question and a theoretical challenge in heavy-ion physics and might become important in high-multiplicity events in proton-proton collisions at LHC energies. Full jet measurement at LHC offer the proper tool to investigate energy loss process and fragmentation of hard parton in the medium. Since jet reconstruction will be constrained to small cone sizes, then study of the connection between jets and surrounding environment provides a further possibility to extend our exploration. We study jets at s = (14 TeV)^2 and pp collisions at s = (7 TeV)^2. We analyze the flavor components in jet-like environments. We introduce a definition for surrounding cones/belts and investigate flavor dependence and correlation of different hadron species produced in jets. Here, we focus on proton-triggered correlations. Our analysis can be extended for heavy ion collisions.

A few narrow pentaquark resonances with hidden-charm above $4.2$ GeV, and some narrow pentaquark resonances with hidden-bottom above $11$ GeV are found from corresponding scattering processes. Besides, the states $N\eta_{c}$, $NJ/\psi$, $N\eta_{b}$ and $N\Upsilon$ with $IJ^{P}=\frac{1}{2}\frac{1}{2}^{-}$, as well as $NJ/\psi$ and $N\Upsilon$ with $IJ^{P}=\frac{1}{2}\frac{3}{2}^{-}$ are all possible to be bound by channel-coupling calculation.

We develop a formalism to help calculate in quantum field theory the departures from the description of a system by classical field equations. We apply the formalism to a homogeneous condensate with attractive contact interactions and to a homogeneous self-gravitating condensate in critical expansion. In their classical descriptions, such condensates persist forever. We show that in their quantum description, parametric resonance causes quanta to jump in pairs out of the condensate into all modes with wavector less than some critical value. We calculate in each case the time scale over which the homogeneous condensate is depleted, and after which a classical description is invalid. We argue that the duration of classicality of inhomogeneous condensates is shorter than that of homogeneous condensates.

Transport equations can be derived from quantum field theory assuming a loss of information about the details of the initial state and a gradient expansion. While the latter can be systematically improved, the assumption about a memory loss is in general not controlled by a small expansion parameter. We determine the range of validity of transport equations for the example of a scalar $g^2 \Phi^4$ theory. We solve the nonequilibrium time evolution using the three-loop 2PI effective action. The approximation includes off-shell and memory effects and assumes no gradient expansion. This is compared to transport equations to lowest order (LO) and beyond (NLO). We find that the earliest time for the validity of transport equations is set by the characteristic relaxation time scale $t_{\rm damp} = - 2\omega/\Sigma^{\rm (eq)}_\varrho$, where $-\Sigma^{\rm (eq)}_\varrho/2$ denotes the on-shell imaginary-part of the self-energy. This time scale agrees with the characteristic time for partial memory loss, but is much shorter than thermal equilibration times. For times larger than about $t_{\rm damp}$ the gradient expansion to NLO is found to describe the ``full'' results rather well for $g^2 \lesssim 1$.

We propose a new doorway to study the interplay between equations of state of dense matter and compact stars in gauge/gravity correspondence. For this we construct a bulk geometry near the boundary of five-dimensional spacetime. By solving a constraint equation derived from the bulk equation of motion together with the Tolman-Oppenheimer-Volkoff equation, we determine the equations of state for compact stars. The input parameters in this study are the energy density and pressure at the center of the compact objects. We also study how the equation of state depends on the parameters.

Also, one finds that the "Dirac-like" CP violation phase is correlated with the atmospheric mixing angle, giving important phenomenological implications for current and future long baseline oscillation neutrino experiments.

We analyze the constraints that a correct phenomenology and the absence of dangerous charge and color breaking (CCB) minima or unbounded from below (UFB) directions impose on the parameter space of different superstring and M-theory scenarios. Namely, we analyze in detail the case where supersymmetry (SUSY) breaking is driven by non-vanishing dilaton and/or moduli F-terms in weakly and strongly coupled strings, and the specific case where the mechanism of SUSY breaking is gaugino condensation with or without the participation of non-perturbative contributions to the K{\"a}hler potential. The results indicate that, only in some small windows of the parameter space all the previous tests are succesfully passed. We also discuss the impact of non-universality of the soft breaking terms on CCB/UFB bounds.

In the wake of new scalar searches at LHC in various channels, it is interesting to investigate the sacrosanctity of the constraints on the masses and couplings of the heavier scalars in a two-Higgs-doublet model (2HDM). We consider the effects of new physics beyond a 2HDM encoded in terms of bosonic dim-6 operators. Although these constraints are mostly immune to such new physics, we demonstrate for a specific class of bosonic operators, the constraints on the masses of the exotic scalars from cascade decays can get substantially relaxed. We present such effects for both degenerate and hierarchical mass spectra of the heavier scalars in 2HDM. Some decay channels of the new scalars vanish at the alignment limit in the tree-level 2HDM. But the inclusion of dim-6 terms can lead to significant cross-sections for such processes. It is also pointed out that observation of such processes can no longer rule out the alignment limit if such dim-6 operators are present.

In the wake of new scalar searches at LHC in various channels, it is interesting to investigate the sacrosanctity of the constraints on the masses and couplings of the heavier scalars in a two-Higgs-doublet model (2HDM). We consider the effects of new physics beyond a 2HDM encoded in terms of bosonic dim-6 operators. Although these constraints are mostly immune to such new physics, we demonstrate for a specific class of bosonic operators, the constraints on the masses of the exotic scalars from cascade decays can get substantially relaxed. We present such effects for both degenerate and hierarchical mass spectra of the heavier scalars in 2HDM. Some decay channels of the new scalars vanish at the alignment limit in the tree-level 2HDM. But the inclusion of dim-6 terms can lead to significant cross-sections for such processes. It is also pointed out that observation of such processes can no longer rule out the alignment limit if such dim-6 operators are present.

The India-based Neutrino Observatory (INO) will host a 50 kt magnetized iron calorimeter (ICAL@INO) for the study of atmospheric neutrinos. Using the detector resolutions and efficiencies obtained by the INO collaboration from a full-detector GEANT4-based simulation, we determine the reach of this experiment for the measurement of the atmospheric neutrino mixing parameters ($\sin^2 \theta_{23}$ and $|\Delta m_{32}^2 |$). We also explore the sensitivity of this experiment to the deviation of $\theta_{23}$ from maximal mixing, and its octant.

No-scale structure of the Kahler potential is obtained in many types of supersymmetric models. In this paper, phenomenological aspects of these models are investigated with special attention to the current Higgs mass bound at LEP and b \to s \gamma result at the CLEO. When the boundary condition is given at the GUT scale and gaugino masses are universal at this scale, very narrow parameter region is allowed only for positive Higgsino mass region if R-parity is conserved. The negative Higgsino mass case is entirely excluded. On the other hand, relatively large parameter region is allowed when the boundary condition is given above the GUT scale, and Tevatron can discover SUSY signals for the positive Higgs mass case. The no-scale models with Wino, Higgsino or sneutrino LSP are also considered. We show that the Higgs mass constraint is important for the Higgsino LSP case, which requires the LSP mass to be larger than about 245 GeV.

Processes of electron-positron annihilation into a pair of fermions were considered. Forward-backward and left-right asymmetries were studied, taking into account polarization of initial and final particles. Complete 1-loop electroweak radiative corrections were included. A wide energy range including the $Z$ boson peak and higher energies relevant for future $e^+e^-$ colliders was covered. Sensitivity of observable asymmetries to the electroweak mixing angle and fermion weak coupling was discussed.

Many particle physics analyses which need to discriminate some background process from a signal ignore event-by-event resolutions of kinematic variables. Adding this information, as is done for missing momentum significance, can only improve the power of existing techniques. We therefore propose the use of significance variables which combine kinematic information with event-by-event resolutions. We begin by giving some explicit examples of constructing optimal significance variables. Then, we consider three applications: new heavy gauge bosons, Higgs to $\tau\tau$, and direct stop squark pair production. We find that significance variables can provide additional discriminating power over the original kinematic variables: $\sim$ 20% improvement over $m_T$ in the case of $H\rightarrow\tau\tau$ case, and $\sim$ 30% impovement over $m_{T2}$ in the case of the direct stop search.

We demonstrate that in effective theories arising from a class of N=1 fluxless compactifications of M-theory on a G2 manifold with low energy supersymmetry, CP-violating phases do not appear in the soft-breaking Lagrangian except via the Yukawas appearing in the trilinear parameters. Such a mechanism may be present in other string compactifications as well; we describe properties sufficient for this to occur. CP violation is generated via the Yukawas since the soft trilinear matrices are generically not proportional to the Yukawa matrices. Within the framework considered, the estimated theoretical upper bounds for electric dipole moments (EDM) of the electron, neutron and mercury are all within the current experimental limits and could be probed in the near future.

We use the QCD sum rules to evaluate the mass of a possible scalar mesonic state that couples to a molecular $D_{s}^{*}\bar{D}_s^{*}$ current. We find a mass $m_{D_s^*D_s^*}=(4.14\pm 0.09)$ GeV, which is in a excellent agreement with the recently observed Y(4140) charmonium state. We consider the contributions of condensates up to dimension eight, we work at leading order in $\alpha_s$ and we keep terms which are linear in the strange quark mass $m_s$. We also consider a molecular $D^{*}\bar{D}^{*}$ current and we obtain $m_{D^*{D}^*}=(4.13\pm 0.10)$, around 200 MeV above the mass of the Y(3930) charmonium state. We conclude that it is possible to describe the Y(4140) structure as a $D_s^*\bar{D}_s^*$ molecular state.

We explore for the first time the possibilities to measure an intermediate-mass (mH = 115-140 GeV/c^2) Standard-Model Higgs boson in electromagnetic proton-lead (pPb) interactions at the CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC) via its b-bbar decay. Using equivalent Weizsaecker-Williams photon fluxes and Higgs effective field theory for the coupling gamma-gamma --> H, we obtain a leading-order cross section of the order of 0.3 pb for exclusive Higgs production in elastic (pPb --> gamma-gamma --> p H Pb) and semielastic (pPb --> gamma-gamma --> Pb H X) processes at sqrt(s) = 8.8 TeV. After applying various kinematics cuts to remove the main backgrounds (gamma-gamma --> b-bbar and misidentified gamma-gamma-->q-qbar events), we find that a Higgs boson with mH = 120 GeV/c^2 could be observed in the b-bbar channel with a 3sigma-significance integrating 300 pb^-1 with an upgraded pA luminosity of 10^31 cm^-2s^-1. We also provide for the first time semielastic Higgs cross sections, along with elastic t-tbar cross sections, for electromagnetic pp, pA and AA collisions at the LHC.

This Report summarizes the results of the activities of the LHC Higgs Cross Section Working Group in the period 2014-2016. The main goal of the working group was to present the state-of-the-art of Higgs physics at the LHC, integrating all new results that have appeared in the last few years. The first part compiles the most up-to-date predictions of Higgs boson production cross sections and decay branching ratios, parton distribution functions, and off-shell Higgs boson production and interference effects. The second part discusses the recent progress in Higgs effective field theory predictions, followed by the third part on pseudo-observables, simplified template cross section and fiducial cross section measurements, which give the baseline framework for Higgs boson property measurements. The fourth part deals with the beyond the Standard Model predictions of various benchmark scenarios of Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model, extended scalar sector, Next-to-Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model and exotic Higgs boson decays. This report follows three previous working-group reports: Handbook of LHC Higgs Cross Sections: 1. Inclusive Observables (CERN-2011-002), Handbook of LHC Higgs Cross Sections: 2. Differential Distributions (CERN-2012-002), and Handbook of LHC Higgs Cross Sections: 3. Higgs properties (CERN-2013-004). The current report serves as the baseline reference for Higgs physics in LHC Run 2 and beyond.

This Report summarizes the results of the activities of the LHC Higgs Cross Section Working Group in the period 2014-2016. The main goal of the working group was to present the state-of-the-art of Higgs physics at the LHC, integrating all new results that have appeared in the last few years. The first part compiles the most up-to-date predictions of Higgs boson production cross sections and decay branching ratios, parton distribution functions, and off-shell Higgs boson production and interference effects. The second part discusses the recent progress in Higgs effective field theory predictions, followed by the third part on pseudo-observables, simplified template cross section and fiducial cross section measurements, which give the baseline framework for Higgs boson property measurements. The fourth part deals with the beyond the Standard Model predictions of various benchmark scenarios of Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model, extended scalar sector, Next-to-Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model and exotic Higgs boson decays. This report follows three previous working-group reports: Handbook of LHC Higgs Cross Sections: 1. Inclusive Observables (CERN-2011-002), Handbook of LHC Higgs Cross Sections: 2. Differential Distributions (CERN-2012-002), and Handbook of LHC Higgs Cross Sections: 3. Higgs properties (CERN-2013-004). The current report serves as the baseline reference for Higgs physics in LHC Run 2 and beyond.

The QCD phase diagram at finite temperature and density has attracted considerable interest over many decades now, not least because of its relevance for a better understanding of heavy-ion collision experiments. Models provide some insight into the QCD phase structure but usually rely on various parameters. Based on renormalization group arguments, we discuss how the parameters of QCD low-energy models can be determined from the fundamental theory of the strong interaction. We particularly focus on a determination of the temperature dependence of these parameters in this work and comment on the effect of a finite quark chemical potential. We present first results and argue that our findings can be used to improve the predictive power of future model calculations.

The QCD phase diagram at finite temperature and density has attracted considerable interest over many decades now, not least because of its relevance for a better understanding of heavy-ion collision experiments. Models provide some insight into the QCD phase structure but usually rely on various parameters. Based on renormalization group arguments, we discuss how the parameters of QCD low-energy models can be determined from the fundamental theory of the strong interaction. We particularly focus on a determination of the temperature dependence of these parameters in this work and comment on the effect of a finite quark chemical potential. We present first results and argue that our findings can be used to improve the predictive power of future model calculations.

We show that non-Hermitian and nearest-neighbor-interacting perturbations to the Fritzsch textures of lepton and quark mass matrices can make both of them fit current experimental data very well. In particular, we obtain \theta_{23} \simeq 45^\circ for the atmospheric neutrino mixing angle and predict \theta_{13} \simeq 3^\circ to 6^\circ for the smallest neutrino mixing angle when the perturbations in the lepton sector are at the 20% level. The same level of perturbations is required in the quark sector, where the Jarlskog invariant of CP violation is about 3.7 \times 10^{-5}. In comparison, the strength of leptonic CP violation is possible to reach about 1.5 \times 10^{-2} in neutrino oscillations.

We obtain an improved determination of the normalization constant of the first infrared renormalon of the pole mass (and the singlet static potential). For $N_f=3$ it reads $N_m=0.563(26)$. Charm quark effects in the bottom quark mass determination are carefully investigated. Finally, we determine the bottom quark mass using the NNNLO perturbative expression for the $\Upsilon(1S)$ mass. We work in the renormalon subtracted scheme, which allows us to control the divergence of the perturbation series due to pole mass renormalon. Our result for the ${\overline {\rm MS}}$ mass reads ${\overline m}_{b}({\overline m}_{b})=4201(43)$ MeV.

Searches for anisotropies due to Earth's motion relative to a preferred frame -- modern versions of the Michelson-Morley experiment -- provide precise verifications of special relativity. We describe other tests, independent of this motion, that are or can become even more sensitive. The existence of high-energy cosmic rays places strong constraints on Lorentz non-invariance. Furthermore, if the maximum attainable speed of a particle depends on its identity, then neutrinos, even if massless, may exhibit flavor oscillations. Velocity differences far smaller than any previously probed can produce characteristic effects at accelerators and solar neutrino experiments.

A thorough analysis of sneutrinos as dark matter candidates is performed, in different classes of supersymmetric models, as is typically done for the neutralino dark matter. First in the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model, sneutrinos are marginally compatible with existing experimental bounds, including direct detection, provided they compose a subdominant component of dark matter. Then supersymmetric models with the inclusion of right-handed fields and lepton number violating terms are presented. These models are perfectly viable: they predict sneutrinos which are compatible with the current direct detection sensitivities.

We calculate the hadronic matrix elements to $O(p^4)$ in the chiral expansion for the ($\Delta S =1$) $K^0 \to 2 \pi$ decays and the ($\Delta S=2$) $\bar K^0$-$K^0$ oscillation. This is done within the framework of the chiral quark model. The chiral coefficients thus determined depend on the values of the quark and gluon condensates and the constituent quark mass. We show that it is possible to fit the $\Delta I =1/2$ rule of kaon decays with values of the condensates close to those obtained by QCD sum rules. The renormalization invariant amplitudes are obtained by matching the hadronic matrix elements and their chiral corrections to the short-distance NLO Wilson coefficients. For the same input values, we study the parameter $\hat B_K$ of kaon oscillation and find $\hat B_K = 1.1 \pm 0.2$. As an independent check, we determine $\hat B_K$ from the experimental value of the $K_L$-$K_S$ mass difference by using our calculation of the long-distance contributions. The destructive interplay between the short- and long-distance amplitudes yields $\hat B_K = 1.2 \pm 0.1$, in agreement with the direct calculation.

We investigate the pion-mass dependence of the nucleon mass within the covariant SU(2) baryon chiral perturbation theory up to order p4 with and without explicit Delta(1232) degrees of freedom. We fit lattice QCD data from several collaborations for 2 and 2+1 flavor ensembles. Here, we emphasize our Nf=2 study where the inclusion the Delta(1232) contributions stabilizes the fits. We correct for finite volume and spacing effects, set independently the lattice QCD scale by a Sommer-scale of r0 = 0.493(23) fm and also include one sigma pi-N lQCD data point near Mpi = 290 MeV. We obtain low-energy constants of natural size which are compatible with the rather linear pion-mass dependence observed in lattice QCD. We report a value of 41(5)(4) MeV for the sigma pi-N term in the 2 flavor case and 52(3)(8) MeV in the 2+1 flavors case.

It is shown that large perturbative corrections found previously for semileptonic beauty and charm decays are associated with using inappropriate pole masses. The latter, in the perturbative expansion, suffer from the 1/m_Q infrared renormalon which is absent in the widths, which leads to similar large corrections in m_Q. Pole masses are neither measured directly in experiment. If the widths are related to parameters determined in experiment, the overall impact of the calculated second order corrections becomes strongly suppressed and leads to less than 1\% change in |V_{cb}| and |V_{ub}|. Even in charm decays the perturbative corrections appear to be very moderate in the consistent OPE-compliant treatment. The updated estimate of |V_{cb}| is given, based on recent accurate determination of m_b and \alpha_s(1 GeV). The theoretical accuracy of determination of |V_{ub}| from \Gamma_{sl}(b->u) appears to be good as well.

The recent observation of $^4$He implies that our universe has a large lepton asymmetry. We consider the Affleck-Dine (AD) mechanism for lepton number generation. In the AD mechanism, non-topological solitons called L-balls are produced, and the generated lepton number is confined in them. The L-balls protect the generated lepton number from being converted to baryon number through the sphaleron processes. We study the formation and evolution of the L-balls and find that the universe with large lepton asymmetry suggested by the recent $^4$He measurement can be realized.

Light bosons can mediate long-range forces. We show that light bosonic mediators interacting with a background medium, in particular, with the cosmic neutrino background (C$\nu$B), may induce medium-dependent masses which could effectively screen long-range forces from detection. This leads to profound implications for long-range force searches in e.g. the E\"ot-Wash, MICROSCOPE, and lunar laser-ranging (LLR) experiments. For instance, we find that when the coupling of the mediator to neutrinos is above $3\times10^{-10}$ or $5\times10^{-13}$, bounds from LLR and experiments employing the Sun as an attractor, respectively, would be entirely eliminated. Larger values of the coupling can also substantially alleviate bounds from searches conducted at shorter distances.

Compactified five dimensional Yang-Mills theory results in an effective four-dimensional theory with a Kaluza-Klein (KK) tower of massive vector bosons. We explicitly demonstrate that the scattering of the massive vector bosons is unitary at tree-level for low energies, and analyze the relationship between the unitarity violation scale in the KK theory and the nonrenormalizability scale in the five dimensional gauge theory. In the compactified theory, low-energy unitarity is ensured through an interlacing cancellation among contributions from the relevant KK levels. Such cancellations can be understood using a Kaluza-Klein equivalence theorem which results from the geometric ``Higgs'' mechanism of compactification. In these theories, the unitarity violation is delayed to energy scales higher than the customary limit through the introduction of additional vector bosons rather than Higgs scalars.

In the paper, we study the $B_s\to D_s$ transition form factors by using the light-cone sum rules within the framework of heavy quark effective field theory. We adopt a chiral current correlation function to do the calculation, the resultant transition form factors $f_+^{B_s\to D_s}(q^2)$ and $f_0^{B_s\to D_s}(q^2)$ are dominated by the contribution of $D_s$-meson leading-twist distribution amplitude, while the contributions from less certain $D_s$-meson twist-3 distribution amplitudes are greatly suppressed. At the largest recoil point, we obtain $f_{+,0}^{B_s \to D_s}(0)=0.533^{+0.112}_{-0.094}$. By further extrapolating the transition form factors into all the physically allowable $q^2$ region with the help of the $z$-series parametrization approach, we calculate the branching fractions $\mathcal{B}(B_s \to D_s \ell^\prime \nu_{\ell^\prime})$ with $(\ell^\prime= e,\mu)$ and $\mathcal{B}(B_s \to D_s \tau \nu_\tau)$, which gives $\mathcal{R}(D_s)=0.334\pm 0.017$.

We adopt a chiral current correlation function to do the calculation, the resultant transition form factors $f_+^{B_s\to D_s}(q^2)$ and $f_0^{B_s\to D_s}(q^2)$ are dominated by the contribution of $D_s$-meson leading-twist distribution amplitude, while the contributions from less certain $D_s$-meson twist-3 distribution amplitudes are greatly suppressed. At the largest recoil point, we obtain $f_{+,0}^{B_s \to D_s}(0)=0.533^{+0.112}_{-0.094}$. By further extrapolating the transition form factors into all the physically allowable $q^2$ region with the help of the $z$-series parametrization approach, we calculate the branching fractions $\mathcal{B}(B_s \to D_s \ell^\prime \nu_{\ell^\prime})$ with $(\ell^\prime= e,\mu)$ and $\mathcal{B}(B_s \to D_s \tau \nu_\tau)$, which gives $\mathcal{R}(D_s)=0.334\pm 0.017$.

We argue that scale invariance is not anomalous in quantum field theory, provided it is broken cosmologically. We consider a locally scale invariant extension of the Standard Model of particle physics and argue that it fits both the particle and cosmological observations. The model is scale invariant both classically and quantum mechanically. The scale invariance is broken cosmologically producing all the dimensionful parameters. The cosmological constant or dark energy is a prediction of the theory and can be calculated systematically order by order in perturbation theory. It is expected to be finite at all orders. The model does not suffer from the hierarchy problem due to absence of scalar particles, including the Higgs, from the physical spectrum.

An emergent global symmetry of the composite sector (called maximal symmetry) can soften the ultraviolet behavior of the Higgs potential and also significantly modify its structure. We explain the conditions for the emergence of maximal symmetry as well as its main consequences. We present two simple implementations and generalize both to N-site as well as full warped extra dimensional models. The gauge symmetry of these models enforces the emergence of maximal symmetry. The corresponding Higgs potentials have unique properties: one case minimizes the tuning while the other allows heavy top partners evading direct LHC bounds.

Compton scattering of short and ultra short (sub-cycle) laser pulses off mildly relativistic electrons is considered within a QED framework. The temporal shape of the pulse is essential for the differential cross section as a function of the energy of the scattered photon at fixed observation angle. The partly integrated cross section is sensitive to the non-linear dynamics resulting in a large enhancement of the cross section for short and, in particular, for ultra-short flat-top pulse envelopes which can reach several orders of magnitude, as compared with the case of a long pulse. Such effects can be studied experimentally and must be taken into account in Monte-Carlo/transport simulations of %$e^+e^-$ pair production in the interaction of electrons and photons in a strong laser field.

Within the context of an effective potential formalism we calculate the contribution to Higgs boson masses in the next--to--minimal supersymmetric standard model from squark loops. We then supplement a previously performed renormalisation group analysis of the Higgs sector of this model with these results in order to determine the shift in the bound on the lightest CP-even Higgs boson mass as a result of squark effects. The improved bound on the lightest neutral CP-even Higgs boson mass, including squark contributions, is $m_h \leq 146 \ \ (139, 149)$ GeV for $m_t = 90 \ \ (140, 190)$ GeV. For $m_t = 190$ GeV squark effects contribute 23 GeV to the bound, with smaller contributions for small $m_t$ values.

In the TMD approach, the average transverse momentum of the unpolarised TMD PDFs and FFs is crucial not only to reproduce unpolarised cross sections and hadron multiplicities, but also for the understanding of azimuthal and spin asymmetries. Information on these transverse momenta is nowadays obtained mainly by fitting multiplicities data for SIDIS, where the intrinsic motion in the initial parton distributions and in the hadronisation process are strongly correlated and difficult to estimate separately without ambiguities. In this contribution we discuss the consequences of this correlation effects on the predictions for the Sivers and Collins asymmetries measured in SIDIS and $e^+e^-$ annihilations, and under active investigation for Drell-Yan processes at RHIC and at CERN by the COMPASS experiment. We show that these effects may be relevant and can sensibly modify the size of the predicted asymmetries. Therefore, they must be taken into careful account when investigating other aspects of TMDs, like the evolution properties of the Sivers and Collins functions and the expected process dependence of the Sivers function.

We discuss production of two pairs of $c \bar c$ in proton-proton collisions at the LHC. Both double-parton scattering (DPS) and single-parton scattering (SPS) contributions are included in the analysis. Each step of DPS is calculated within $k_t$-factorization approach. The conditions how to identify the DPS contribution are presented. The discussed mechanism leads to the production of pairs of mesons: each containing $c$ quarks or each containing $\bar c$ antiquarks. We discuss corresponding production rates and some differential distributions for $(D^0 D^0$ + $\bar D^0 \bar D^0)$ production. Within large theoretical uncertainties the predicted DPS cross section is fairly similar to the cross section measured recently by the LHCb collaboration. The best description is obtained with the Kimber-Martin-Ryskin (KMR) unintegrated gluon distribution. The contribution of SPS, calculated in the high-energy approximation, turned out to be rather small. Finally, we emphasize significant contribution of DPS mechanism to inclusive charmed meson spectra measured recently by ALICE, ATLAS and LHCb.

We determine the strong coupling $\alpha_s(m_Z)$ from dimensionless ratios of roots of moments of the charm- and bottom-quark vector and charm pseudo-scalar correlators, dubbed $R_q^{X,n}\equiv(M_q^{X,n})^\frac{1}{n}/(M_q^{X,n+1})^\frac{1}{n+1}$, with $X=V,P$, as well as from the $0$-th moment of the charm pseudo-scalar correlator, $M_c^{P,0}$. In the quantities we use, the mass dependence is very weak, entering only logarithmically, starting at $\mathcal{O}(\alpha_s^2)$. We carefully study all sources of uncertainties, paying special attention to truncation errors, and making sure that order-by-order convergence is maintained by our choice of renormalization scale variation. In the computation of the experimental uncertainty for the moment ratios, the correlations among individual moments are properly taken into account. Additionally, in the perturbative contributions to experimental vector-current moments, $\alpha_s(m_Z)$ is kept as a free parameter such that our extraction of the strong coupling is unbiased and based only on experimental data. The most precise extraction of $\alpha_s$ from vector correlators comes from the ratio of the charm-quark moments $R_c^{V,2}$ and reads $\alpha_s(m_Z)=0.1168\pm 0.0019$, as we have recently discussed in a companion letter. From bottom moments, using the ratio $R_b^{V,2}$, we find $\alpha_s(m_Z)=0.1186\pm0.0048$. Our results from the lattice pseudo-scalar charm correlator agree with the central values of previous determinations, but have larger uncertainties due to our more conservative study of the perturbative error. Averaging the results obtained from various lattice inputs for the $n=0$ moment we find $\alpha_s(m_Z)=0.1177\pm0.0020$. Combining experimental and lattice information on charm correlators into a single fit we obtain $\alpha_s(m_Z)=0.1170\pm 0.0014$, which is the main result of this article.

A structure is proposed for the mass matrices of the quarks and leptons that arises in a natural way from the assumption that the breaking of SO(10) gauge symmetry is achieved by the smallest possible set of vacuum expectation values. This structure explains well many features of the observed spectrum of quarks and leptons. It reproduces the Georgi-Jarlskog mass relations and postdicts the charm quark mass in reasonable agreement with data. It also predicts a large mixing angle between \nu_{\mu} and \nu_{\tau}, as suggested by atmospheric neutrino data. The mixing angles of the electron neutrino are predicted to be small.

We investigate the geometry of the critical fluctuations for a general system undergoing a thermal second order phase transition. Adopting a generalized effective action for the local description of the fluctuations of the order parameter at the critical point ($T=T_c$) we show that instanton-like configurations, corresponding to the minima of the effective action functional, build up clusters with fractal geometry characterizing locally the critical fluctuations. The connection between the corresponding (local) fractal dimension and the critical exponents is derived. Possible extension of the local geometry of the system to a global picture is also discussed.

We study the properties of the hadron-hadron potentials and quark-antiquark potentials from the viewpoint of the channel coupling. We demonstrate that, for finite quark masses, the coupling to the two-hadron continuum induces the imaginary part of the quark-antiquark potential, in contrast to the string-breaking phenomena in the static limit. It is also shown that the elimination of the different degrees of freedom induces the nonlocality and energy dependence of the effective potentials. For the obtained nonlocal potentials, we apply two methods of the local approximation proposed previously, the formal derivative expansion and the derivative expansion in the HAL QCD method, by carefully examining the energy dependence of the potential. As an application, we construct a coupled-channel model of $c\bar{c}$ and $D^{0}\bar{D}^{*0}$ to describe $X(3872)$, and discuss the property of the effective $D^{0}\bar{D}^{*0}$ potentials. We confirm that the local approximation by the HAL QCD method works better than the formal derivative expansion also for the energy-dependent potential. At the same time, we show that, in the HAL QCD method, the resulting phase shift is sensitive to the choice of the wavefunction to construct the local potential when the system has a shallow bound state such as $X(3872)$.

Chiral phase transition is investigated in an $SU(3)_L \times SU(3)_R$ symmetric vector meson extended linear sigma model with additional constituent quarks and Polyakov loops (extended Polyakov quark meson model). The parameterization of the Lagrangian is done at zero temperature in a hybrid approach, where the mesons are treated at tree-level, while the constituent quarks at 1-loop level. The temperature and baryochemical potential dependence of the two assumed scalar condensates are calculated from the hybrid 1-loop level equations of states. The order of the phase transition along the $T=0$ and $\mu_B=0$ axes are determined for various parameterization scenarios. We find that in order to have a first order phase transition at $T=0$ as a function of $\mu_B$ a light isoscalar particle is needed.

We employ novel computational techniques and the variational method with a large basis of carefully constructed operators in order to extract and reliably identify the continuum spin of an extensive set of excited states. These include states with high spin and states identified as having an explicit gluonic contribution. Calculations were performed on two volumes, both with a pion mass of approximately 400 MeV, achieving a high statistical precision for both ground and excited states. We discuss our results in light of experimental observations, comment on the phenomenological implications and identify the lightest `supermultiplet' of hybrid mesons in each sector.

We study the nuclear medium effects on the $c\bar{c}$ time evolution and charmonium production, in a relativistic proton-nucleus collision. In particular, we focus on the fragmentation region of the nucleus where the formation length of the charmonium mesons is shorter than the size of the nucleus. Little is known on the nuclear effects in this region. We use a quantum-mechanical model which includes a realistic potential for the $c\bar{c}$ system and an imaginary potential to describe the collisions of the $c\bar{c}$ with the nucleons. The imaginary potential introduces a transition amplitude among the charmonium states and produces an interference pattern on the charmonium survival probability, which is particulartly important for $\psi'$. Our results on the suppression factors are compared with data from the NA50 and E866/NuSea Collaborations. Predictions are given for the suppression of $J/\psi,~\psi',~\chi_c$ as a function of the nuclear mass and in the negative $x_F$ region, where data will be available soon.

We explore the Higgs sector in the supersymmetric economical 3-3-1 model and find new features in this sector. The charged Higgs sector is revised i.e., in difference of the previous work, the exact eigenvalues and states are obtained without any approximation. In this model, there are three Higgs bosons having masses equal to that of the gauge bosons--the W and extra X and Y. There is one scalar boson with mass of 91.4 GeV, which is closed to the $Z$ boson mass and in good agreement with present limit: 89.8 GeV at 95% CL. The condition of eliminating for charged scalar tachyon leads to splitting of VEV at the first symmetry breaking, namely, $w \simeq w^\prime$. The interactions among the standard model gauge bosons and scalar fields in the framework of the supersymmetric economical 3-3-1 model are presented. From these couplings, at some limit, almost scalar Higgs fields can be recognized in accordance with the standard model. The hadronic cross section for production of the bilepton charged Higgs boson at the CERN LHC in the effective vector boson approximation is calculated. Numerical evaluation shows that the cross section can exceed 35.8 fb.

A simple solvable toy model exhibiting effective restoration of chiral symmetry in excited hadrons is constructed. A salient feature is that while physics of the low-lying states is crucially determined by the spontaneous breaking of chiral symmetry, in the high-lying states the effects of chiral symmetry breaking represent only a small correction. Asymptotically the states approach the regime where their properties are determined by the underlying unbroken chiral symmetry.

Upon imposing QCD short-distance constraints on resonance couplings, the \omega -> \pi \gamma(\gamma*), \rho -> \pi \gamma(\gamma*), K^{*0} -> K^0\gamma processes only depend on one free parameter and \pi -> \gamma \gamma(\gamma*) can be completely predicted. The four mixing parameters of the \eta-\eta' system, i.e. two mixing angles \theta8, \theta0 and two decay constants F8, F0, are determined from radiative decays involving \eta or \eta'. The higher order low energy constants of the pseudo-Goldstone Lagrangian in the chiral anomaly sector are predicted by integrating out heavy resonances. We also predict the decay widths of \rho -> \pi e^+ e^-, \eta' -> \gamma e^+ e^- and \phi -> \eta \mu^+ \mu^-, which can be compared with the future measurement in these channels.

First we summarize the quark-level linear $\sigma$ model compositeness conditions and verify that indeed $m_\sigma = 2 m_q$ when $m_\pi = 0$ and $N_c=3$, rather than in the $N_c\to\infty$ limit, as is sometimes suggested. Later we show that this compositeness picture also predicts a chiral symmetry restoration temperature $T_c = 2f_\pi$, where $f_\pi$ is the pion decay constant. We contrast this self-consistent Z=0 compositeness analysis with prior studies of the compositeness problem.

In this work the shear viscosity of strongly interacting matter is calculated within a two-flavor Nambu--Jona-Lasinio model as a function of temperature and chemical potential. The general Kubo formula is applied, incorporating the full Dirac structure of the thermal quark spectral function and avoiding commonly used on-shell approximations. Mesonic fluctuations contributing via Fock diagrams provide the dominant dissipative processes. The resulting ratio $\eta/s$ (shear viscosity over entropy density) decreases with temperature and chemical potential. Interpolating between our NJL results at low temperatures and hard-thermal-loop results at high temperatures a minimum slightly above the AdS/CFT benchmark $\eta/s=1/4\pi$ is obtained.

The Two-Higgs Doublet Model (2HDM) is a well-motivated theoretical framework that provides additional sources of CP Violation (CPV) beyond the Standard Model (SM). After studying the vacuum topology of a general (convex) 2HDM potential, we unambiguously identify three origins of CPV: (I) Spontaneous CPV (SCPV), where the vacuum manifold has at least two degenerate CPV minima disconnected by domain walls, (ii) Explicit CPV (ECPV) with one single CPV ground state, and (iii) Mixed Spontaneous and Explicit CPV (MCPV), where the theory possesses more than one $non$-degenerate CPV local minimum. Most importantly, we define a novel complex parameter $r_{\rm CP}$ whose norm and phase control the three different realisations of CPV, at least at the tree level. In all these scenarios, only two CPV phases can be made independent, as any third CPV parameter will always be constrained via the CP-odd tadpole condition. Since ECPV vanishes in 2HDMs where SM Higgs alignment is achieved naturally through accidental continuous symmetries, we analyse the possibility of maximising CPV through soft and explicit breaking of these symmetries. We derive upper limits on key CPV parameters that quantify the degree of SM misalignment from constraints due to the non-observation of an electron Electric Dipole Moment (EDM). Finally, we delineate the CP-violating parameter space of the so-constrained naturally aligned 2HDMs that can further be probed at the CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC).

A generic jet-energy loss model that is coupled to state-of-the-art hydrodynamic fields and interpolates between a wide class of running coupling pQCD-based and AdS/CFT-inspired models is compared to recent data on the azimuthal and transverse momentum dependence of high-pT pion nuclear modification factors and high-pT elliptic flow measured at RHIC and LHC. We find that RHIC data are surprisingly consistent with various scenarios considered. However, extrapolations to LHC energies favor running coupling pQCD-based models of jet-energy loss. While conformal holographic models are shown to be inconsistent with data, recent non-conformal generalizations of AdS holography may provide an alternative description.

In many simulations of high-energy heavy-ion collisions on an event-by-event analysis, it is known that the initial energy density distribution in the transverse plane is highly fluctuating. Subsequent longitudinal expansion will lead to many longitudinal tubes of quark-gluon plasma which have tendencies to break up into many spherical droplets because of sausage instabilities. We are therefore motivated to use a model of quark-gluon plasma granular droplets that evolve hydrodynamically to investigate pion elliptic flows and Hanbury-Brown-Twiss interferometry. We find that the data of pion transverse momentum spectra, elliptic flows, and HBT radii in \sqrt{s_{NN}}=200 GeV Au + Au collisions at RHIC can be described well by an expanding source of granular droplets with an anisotropic velocity distribution.

The order parameter of confinement together with the haaron model of the QCD vacuum is reviewed and it is pointed out that confining forces are generated by the non-renormalizable, invariant Haar-measure vertices of the path integral. A hybrid model is proposed for the description of the crossover leading to the confining vacuum. This scenario suggests that the differences between the low and the high temperature phases of QCD should be looked for in the quark channels instead of the hadronic sector.

We study neutrinos gravitationally scattered off a rotating supermassive black hole which is surrounded by a thin accretion disk with a realistic magnetic field. Neutrinos are supposed to be Dirac particles having a nonzero magnetic moment. Neutrinos move along arbitrary trajectories, with the incoming flux being parallel to the equatorial plane. We exactly account for the influence of both gravity and the magnetic field on the neutrino motion and its spin evolution. The general statement that the helicity of an ultrarelativistic neutrino is constant in the particle scattering in an arbitrary gravitational field is proven within the quasiclassical approach. We find the measurable fluxes of outgoing neutrinos taking into account the neutrino spin precession in the external field in curved spacetime. These fluxes turn out to be significantly suppressed for some parameters of the system. Finally, we discuss the possibility to observe the predicted phenomena for core-collapsing supernova neutrinos in our Galaxy.

We find the measurable fluxes of outgoing neutrinos taking into account the neutrino spin precession in the external field in curved spacetime. These fluxes turn out to be significantly suppressed for some parameters of the system. Finally, we discuss the possibility to observe the predicted phenomena for core-collapsing supernova neutrinos in our Galaxy.

We explore the would-be consequences of a low value of the CP-violating phase $\sin2\beta_{\psi K}$. The importance of a reference triangle obtained from measurements that are independent of $B$--$\bar B$ and $K$--$\bar K$ mixing is stressed. It can be used to extract separately potential New Physics contributions to mixing in the $B_d$, $B_s$ and $K$ systems. We discuss several constructions of this triangle, which will be feasible in the near future. The discrete ambiguity is at most two-fold and eventually can be completely removed. Simultaneously, it will be possible to probe for New Physics in loop-dominated rare decays.

The factorization theorem for $q_T$ spectra in Drell-Yan processes, boson production and semi-inclusive deep inelastic scattering allows for the determination of the non-perturbative parts of transverse momentum dependent parton distribution functions. Here we discuss the fit of Drell-Yan and $Z$-production data using the transverse momentum dependent formalism and the resummation of the evolution kernel. We find a good theoretical stability of the results and a final $\chi^2/{\rm points}\lesssim 1$. We show how the fixing of the non-perturbative pieces of the evolution can be used to make predictions at present and future colliders.

We calculate the fluxes of IC-induced gamma-ray produced in our Galaxy and that from cosmological distance, and show that both of them are significant. We discuss a possibility that large dark matter mass over TeV scale might be constrained by the gamma-ray observation by Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope.

The peak of the heavy quark pair entropy at the deconfinement transition, observed in lattice QCD, suggests that the transition is effectively driven by the increase of the entropy of bound states. The growth of the entropy with the inter-quark distance leads to the emergent entropic force that induces dissociation of quarkonium states. Since the quark-gluon plasma around the transition point is a strongly coupled system, we use the gauge-gravity duality to study the entropy of heavy quarkonium and the real-time dynamics of its dissociation. In particular, we employ the Improved Holographic QCD model as a dual description of large $N_c$ Yang Mills theory. Studying the dynamics of the fundamental string between the quarks placed on the boundary, we find that the entropy peaks at the transition point. We also study the real-time dynamics of the system by considering the holographic string falling in the black hole horizon where it equilibrates. In the vicinity the deconfinement transition, the dissociation time is found to be less than a fermi, suggesting that the entropic destruction is the dominant dissociation mechanism in this temperature region.

We study the problems related to the renormalization of propagators in Resonance Chiral Theory, concentrating on the case of vector $1^{--}$ resonances in the antisymmetric tensor formalism. We have found that renormalization of the divergences of the self-energy graphs needs new type of kinetic counterterms with two derivatives which are not present in the original leading order Lagrangian. The general form of the propagator for antisymmetric tensor fields could then contain not only poles corresponding to the original $1^{--}$ resonance states but also to the additional states with opposite parity which decouple in the free field limit. In some cases, these dynamically generated additional states might be negative norm ghosts or tachyons.

We study composite electron production at the FCC-based three electron-proton colliders with the center-of-mass energies of $3.46$, $10$ and $31.6$ TeV. For the signal process of $ep\rightarrow e^{\star}X\rightarrow e\gamma X$ , the production cross-sections and decay widhts of the excited electrons have been calculated. The differences of some kinematical quantities of the final state particles between the signal and background have been analyzed. For this purpose, transverse momentum and pseudorapidity distributions of electron and photon have been obtained and the kinematical cuts for discovery of the excited electrons have been assigned. We have finally determined the mass limits of excited electrons for observation and discovery by applying these cuts. It is shown that the mass limit for discovery obtained from the collider with $\sqrt{s}=31.6$ TeV (called PWFA-LC$\otimes$FCC) is $22.3$ TeV for the integrated luminosity $L_{int}=10$ $fb^{-1}$.

In this paper the Yennie-Frautschi-Suura approach is used to simulate real and virtual QED corrections in particle decays. It makes use of the universal structure of soft photon corrections to resum the leading logarithmic QED corrections to all orders, and it allows a systematic correction of this approximate result to exact fixed order results from perturbation theory. The approach has been implemented as a Monte Carlo algorithm, which a posteriori modifies decay matrix elements through the emission of varying numbers of photons. The corresponding computer code is incorporated into the SHERPA event generator framework.

We propose a method to quantify the Standard Model uncertainty in B to K pi decays using the experimental data, assuming that power counting provides a reasonable estimate of the subleading terms in the 1/mb expansion. Using this method, we show that present B to K pi data are compatible with the Standard Model. We analyze the pattern of subleading terms required to reproduce the B to K pi data and argue that anomalously large subleading terms are not needed. Finally, we find that S(KS pi0) is fairly insensitive to hadronic uncertainties and obtain the Standard Model estimate S(KS pi0)=0.74 +- 0.04.

We discuss a novel approach for directional, light dark matter searches inspired by the high precision position measurements achieved in gravitational wave detectors. If dark matter interacts with ordinary matter, movable masses are subject to an effect similar to Brownian motion induced by the scattering with dark matter particles which exhibits certain characteristics and could be observed. We provide estimates for the sensitivity of a hypothetical experiment looking for that motion. Interestingly, if successful, our approach would allow to constrain the local distribution of dark matter momentum.

We demonstrate that existing gravitational wave data from LIGO already places constraints on well motivated Pati-Salam models that allow the Standard Model to be embedded within grand unified theories. For the first time in these models we also constrain the parameter space by requiring that the phase transition completes, with the resulting constraint being competitive with the limits from LIGO data. Both constraints are complementary to the LHC constraints and can exclude scenarios that are much heavier than can be probed in colliders. Finally we show that results from future LIGO runs, and the planned Einstein telescope, will substantially increase the limits we place on the parameter space.

Supersymmetric models are typically taken to have $\mu$ parameter and all soft supersymmetry breaking parameters at or near the weak scale. We point out that a small window of allowed values exists in which $\mu$ and the electroweak gaugino masses are in the few GeV range. Such models naturally solve the supersymmetry $CP$ problem, can reduce the discrepancy in $R_b$, and suppress proton decay. In this window two neutralinos are in the few GeV range, two are roughly degenerate with the $Z^0$, and both charginos are roughly degenerate with the $W^{\pm}$ bosons. Such a signature cannot escape detection at LEP II. Models that fall in this window automatically arise from renormalizable hidden sectors in which hidden sector singlets participate only radiatively in supersymmetry breaking.

An overview of recent progress on searches for Lorentz- and CPT-violating signals with confined particles and antiparticles in Penning traps is presented. In the context of the Standard-Model Extension (SME), leading-order shifts in the cyclotron and anomaly frequencies of a confined particle and antiparticle due to Lorentz and CPT violation are provided. The two frequencies are then related to comparisons of charge-to-mass ratios and magnetic moments between particles and antiparticles. Applying reported results from Penning-trap experiments leads to new limits on various coefficients for Lorentz violation.

In the context of the Standard-Model Extension (SME), leading-order shifts in the cyclotron and anomaly frequencies of a confined particle and antiparticle due to Lorentz and CPT violation are provided. The two frequencies are then related to comparisons of charge-to-mass ratios and magnetic moments between particles and antiparticles. Applying reported results from Penning-trap experiments leads to new limits on various coefficients for Lorentz violation.

Brannen has recently pointed out that the observed charged lepton masses satisfy the relation m_e +m_\mu +m_\tau = {2/3} (\sqrt{m_e}+\sqrt{m_\mu}+\sqrt{m_\tau})^2, while the observed neutrino masses satisfy the relation m_{\nu 1} +m_{\nu 2} +m_{\nu 3} = {2/3} (-\sqrt{m_{\nu 1}}+\sqrt{m_{\nu 2}}+\sqrt{m_{\nu 3}})^2. It is discussed what neutrino Yukawa interaction form is favorable if we take the fact pointed out by Brannen seriously.

Naturalness arguments suggest that the stop sector is within reach of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). We investigate how the observation of a third generation squark signal could predict masses and discovery modes of other supersymmetric particles, or potentially test the Higgs boson mass relation and the validity of the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM) at the high luminosity LHC. We illustrate these ideas in three distinct scenarios: discovery of a light stop, a sbottom signal in multileptons, and a signal of the second (heavier) stop in boosted dibosons.

We extend the publicly available quantumfdtd code. It was originally intended for solving the time-independent three-dimensional Schr\"odinger equation via the finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method and for extracting the ground, first, and second excited states. We (a) include the case of the relativistic Schr\"odinger equation and (b) add two optimized FFT-based kinetic energy terms for the non-relativistic case. All the three new kinetic terms are computed using Fast Fourier Transform (FFT). We release the resulting code as version 3 of quantumfdtd. Finally, the code now supports arbitrary external file-based potentials and the option to project out distinct parity eigenstates from the solutions. Our goal is quark models used for phenomenological descriptions of QCD bound states, described by the three-dimensional Schr\"odinger equation. However, we target any field where solving either the non-relativistic or the relativistic three-dimensional Schr\"odinger equation is required.

We analyze basic properties of the $P_c$'s such as masses and decay widths, and find that the mass ordering is dominantly determined by the quark dynamics while the decay widths by the tensor force of the one-pion exchange.

We discuss the production of primordial gravitational waves (GW) from radiative inflaton decay during the period of reheating, assuming perturbative decay of the inflaton either into a pair of bosons or fermions, leading to successful reheating satisfying constraint from Big Bang nucleosynthesis. Assuming that the inflaton $\phi$ oscillates in a general monomial potential $V(\phi)\propto \phi^n$, which results in a time-dependent inflaton decay width, we show that the resulting stochastic GW background can have optimistic detection prospects, especially in detectors that search for a high-frequency GW spectrum, depending on the choice of $n$ that determines the shape of the potential during reheating. We also discuss how this GW energy density may affect the measurement of $\Delta N_{\text{eff}}$ for bosonic and fermionic reheating scenarios.

In this update, we included the published data of H1 and ZEUS for the 94--96 run in the $e^+ p$ mode and the newly published data of H1 for the 1999 run in the $e^- p$ mode. Other major changes are the new LEPII data on hadronic cross sections above 189 GeV, and the atomic parity violation measurement on Cesium because of a new and improved atomic calculation, which drives the data within $1\sigma$ of the standard model value. The global data do not show any evidence for contact interactions, and we obtain 95% C.L. limits on the compositeness scale. A limit of $\Lambda^{eu}_{LL+(-)} > 23 (12.5)$ TeV is obtained.

It is shown that the magnitude of tensor polarization of the deuteron beam, which arises owing to the spin dichroism effect, depends appreciably on the angular width of the detector that registers the deuterons transmitted through the target. Even when the angular width of the detector is much smaller than the mean square angle of multiple Coulomb scattering, the beam's tensor polarization depends noticeably on rescattering. When the angular width of the detector is much larger than the mean square angle of multiple Coulomb scattering (as well as than the characteristic angle of elastic nuclear scattering), tensor polarization is determined only by the total reaction cross sections for deuteron-nucleus interaction, and elastic scattering processes make no contribution to tensor polarization.

We compute in the instanton vacuum the nucleon matrix elements of the twist-4 QCD operators describing power corrections to the second moments of the unpolarized structure functions, F_L and F_2. Our approach takes into account the leading contribution in the packing fraction of the instanton medium, rho / R << 1. Parametrically leading are the matrix elements of a twist-4 quark-gluon operator, which are of the order of the inverse instanton size, 1/rho^2 = (600 MeV)^2. The matrix elements of the four-fermion (diquark) operators are suppressed by a factor (rho / R)^4 and numerically small. These results are in agreement with the pattern of phenomenological 1/Q^2-corrections to R = sigma_L / sigma_T and F_2 found in QCD fits to the data. In particular, the rise of R at low Q^2 can be obtained from instanton-type vacuum fluctuations at a low scale.

The Hamiltonian eigenvalue problem for bound states of a quantum field theory is formulated in terms of Dirac's light-front coordinates and then approximated by the exponential-operator technique of the standard coupled-cluster method. This approximation eliminates any need for the usual approximation of Fock-space truncation. Instead, the exponential operator is truncated and the terms retained are determined by a set of nonlinear integral equations. These equations are solved simultaneously with an effective eigenvalue problem in the valence sector, where the number of constituents is small. Matrix elements can be calculated, with extensions of techniques from standard coupled-cluster theory.

Supersymmetry is a prime candidate for physics beyond the Standard Model because low-energy supersymmetry stabilizes the Higgs mass avoiding fine-tuning and leads to natural electroweak symmetry breaking. However, searches at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) for supersymmetric particles have not found any signal and give strong limits on mass of gluino and squark. Also, the observed Higgs mass of 125 GeV is not easily accommodated in the minimal supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM) where one has to rely on the radiative corrections to boost the Higgs mass accompanied with fine-tuning. I study aspects of supersymmetry in light of these LHC results. In this thesis, I focus on the Compact Supersymmetry model based on arXiv:1206.4993 and the Dirac Next-to-MSSM based on arXiv:1308.0792 and investigate them in more detail.

The four-dimensional Dirac-Schr\"odinger equation satisfied by quark-antiquark bound states is derived from Quantum Chromodynamics. Different from the Bethe-Salpeter equation, the equation derived is a kind of first-order differential equations of Schr\"odinger-type in the position space. Especially, the interaction kernel in the equation is given by two different closed expressions. One expression which contains only a few types of Green's functions is derived with the aid of the equations of motion satisfied by some kinds of Green's functions. Another expression which is represented in terms of the quark, antiquark and gluon propagators and some kinds of proper vertices is derived by means of the technique of irreducible decomposition of Green's functions. The kernel derived not only can easily be calculated by the perturbation method, but also provides a suitable basis for nonperturbative investigations. Furthermore, it is shown that the four-dimensinal Dirac-Schr\"odinger equation and its kernel can directly be reduced to rigorous three-dimensional forms in the equal-time Lorentz frame and the Dirac-Schr\"odinger equation can be reduced to an equivalent Pauli-Schr\"odinger equation which is represented in the Pauli spinor space. To show the applicability of the closed expressions derived and to demonstrate the equivalence between the two different expressions of the kernel, the t-channel and s-channel one gluon exchange kernels are chosen as an example to show how they are derived from the closed expressions. In addition, the connection of the Dirac-Schr\"odinger equation with the Bethe-Salpeter equation is discussed.

We use two-dimensional QCD as a toy laboratory to study off-forward parton distributions (OFPDs) in a covariant field theory. Exact expressions (to leading order in $1/N_C$) are presented for OFPDs in this model and are evaluated for some specific numerical examples. Special emphasis is put on comparing the $x>\zeta$ and $x<\zeta$ regimes as well as on analyzing the implications for the light-cone description of form factors.

We use two-dimensional QCD as a toy laboratory to study off-forward parton distributions (OFPDs) in a covariant field theory. Exact expressions (to leading order in $1/N_C$) are presented for OFPDs in this model and are evaluated for some specific numerical examples. Special emphasis is put on comparing the $x>\zeta$ and $x<\zeta$ regimes as well as on analyzing the implications for the light-cone description of form factors.

We carry out a systematic investigation of twist-two spin dependent structure functions of the nucleon within the framework of the chiral quark soliton model (CQSM) by paying special attention to the role of chiral symmetry of QCD. We observe a substantial difference between the predictions of the longitudinally polarized distribution functions and the transversity distribution ones. That the chiral symmetry is responsible for this difference can most clearly be seen in the isospin dependence of the corresponding first moments, i.e. the axial and tensor charges. The CQSM predicts $g_A^{(0)} / g_A^{(3)} \simeq 0.25$ for the ratio of the isoscalar to isovector axial charges, and $g_T^{(0)} / g_T^{(3)} \simeq 0.46$ for the ratio of the isoscalar to isovector tensor charges, which should be compared with the prediction of the naive (non-chiral) MIT bag model, $g_A^{(0)} / g_A^{(3)} = g_T^{(0)} / g_T^{(3)} = 3 / 5$.

Gluons may converge to a stable state at a critical momentum in nucleon. This gluon condensation will greatly increase the proton-proton cross section provided that the collision energies exceed the gluon condensation threshold. Based on the analyses of cosmic gamma-ray spectra, we find that the $p-Pb$ and $Pb-Pb$ collisions at the LHC are close to the energy region of the gluon condensation effect. We warn that for the next generation of hadron colliders increasing the collision energies, the extremely strong gamma-rays will be emitted in a narrow space of the accelerator due to the gluon condensation effect. Such artificial mini gamma-ray-bursts in the laboratory may damage the detectors.

In this paper we analyze the thermodynamic properties of a photon gas under the influence of a background electromagnetic field in the context of any nonlinear electrodynamics. Neglecting the self-interaction of photons, we obtain a general expression for the grand canonical potential. Particularizing for the case when the background field is uniform, we determine the pressure and the energy density for the photon gas. Although the pressure and the energy density change when compared with the standard case, the relationship between them remains unaltered, namely $\rho=3p$. Finally, we apply the developed formulation to the cases of Heisenberg-Euler and Born-Infeld nonlinear electrodynamics. For the Heisenberg-Euler case, we show that our formalism recover the results obtained with the $2$-loop thermal effective action approach.

Recently, a new excited baryon state, $\Omega(2012)$, was observed in the invariant mass spectra of $K^-\Xi^0$ and $K^0_S \Xi^-$ by the Belle Collaboration. This state has a narrow width ($\sim 6$ MeV) compared to other baryon states with a similar mass. In this paper, we provide a mini-review on the $\Omega(2012)$ state from the molecular perspective, where it appears to be a dynamically generated state with spin-parity $3/2^-$ from the coupled-channels interactions of the $\bar{K} \Xi(1530)$ and $\eta \Omega$ in $s$-wave and $\bar{K} \Xi$ in $d$-wave. Additionally, alternative explanations for the $\Omega(2012)$ resonance are also discussed.

The heaviness of the third family fermions and the experimental absence of large flavor violating processes suggest, in supersymmetric theories, that the three families belong to a $2+1$ representation of a horizontal symmetry $G_H$. In this framework, we discuss a class of models based on the group U(2) that describe the fermion flavor structure and are compatible with an underlying GUT. We study the phenomenology of these models and focus on two interesting scenarios: In the first one, the first and second family scalars are assumed to be heavier than the weak scale allowing for complex soft supersymmetry breaking terms. In the second one, all the CP-violating phases are assumed to be small. Both scenarios present a rich phenomenology in agreement with constraints from flavor violating processes and electric dipole moments.

In this paper, we present the full Lagrangian of mesons (pseudoscalars, vectors and axial-vectors) to $O(p^4)$ by using the explicit global chiral symmetry and hidden local symmetry in the chiral limit. In this approach, we see that there are many other terms besides the usual eleven terms given in the literature from hidden local symmetry approach. Of particular, there are some terms in our full results which are important for understanding the vector meson dominance and $\pi-\pi$ scattering and providing consistent predictions on the decay rates of $a_1\to\gamma\pi$ and $a_1\to\rho\pi$ as well as for constructing a consistent effective chiral Lagrangian with chiral perturbation theory. It is likely that the structures of the effective chiral Lagrangian for $O(p^4)$ given in the literature by using hidden local symmetry are incomplete and consequently the resulting couplings are not reliable. It is examined that the more general effective chiral Lagrangian given in present paper can provide more consistent predictions for the low energy phenomenology of $\rho-a_1$ system and result in more consistent descriptions on the low energy behavior of light flavor mesons.

The motion of a scalar field that interacts with a hot plasma, like the inflaton during reheating, is damped, which is a dissipative process. At high temperatures the damping can be described by a local term in the effective equation of motion. The damping coefficient is sensitive to multiple scattering. In the loop expansion its computation would require an all-order resummation. Instead we solve an effective Boltzmann equation, similarly to the computation of transport coefficients. For an interaction with another scalar field we obtain a simple relation between the damping coefficient and the bulk viscosity, so that one can make use of known results for the latter. The numerical prefactor of the damping coefficient turns out to be rather large, of order $ 10 ^ 4 $.

This presentation briefly addresses three basic issues of low-energy QCD: first, whether the Nambu-Goldstone scenario of spontaneous chiral symmetry breaking is well established; secondly, whether there is a dynamical entanglement of the chiral and deconfinement crossover transitions in QCD; and thirdly, what is the status of knowledge about the phase diagram of QCD at low temperature and non-zero baryon density. These three topics were injected as key words into a panel discussion at the Schladming school on Challenges in QCD. The following exposition reflects the style and character of the discussions, with no claim of completeness.
