We investigate a dark sector containing a pair of light non-degenerate scalar
particles, with masses in the MeV-GeV range, coupled to the visible sector
through heavier mediators. The heaviest dark state is long-lived, and its
decays offer new testable signals. We analyze the prospects for detection with
the proposed beam-dump facility SHiP, and the proposed LHC experiments FASER
and MATHUSLA. Moreover, we consider bounds from the beam-dump experiment CHARM
and from colliders (LEP, LHC and BaBar). We present our results both in terms
of an effective field theory, where the heavy mediators have been integrated
out, and of a simplified model containing a vector boson mediator, which can be
heavy $\gtrsim\mathcal{O}(1)$ TeV, or light $\mathcal{O}(10)$ GeV. We show that
future experiments can test large portions of the parameter space currently
unexplored, and that they are complementary to future High-Luminosity LHC
searches.

A brief review of the available experimental and theoretical results on the
production of the $\chi_{Q1}$ states in $e^+e^-$ annihilation and photon-photon
$\gamma\gamma^*$ interactions is presented. Future data on the production of
the $\chi_{c1}(1P)$, $\chi_{c1}(3872)$, $\chi_{c1} (4140)$, $\chi_{c1}(4274)$,
$\chi_{c1}(4685)$, $\chi_{b1} (1P)$, $\chi_{b1}(2P )$, and $\chi_{b1}(3P)$
resonances in $e^+e^-$ annihilation and $\gamma\gamma^*$ interactions will help
the development and unification of theoretical predictions related to the
electroweak decays of heavy quarkonia, the reduction of their spread and model

We explore the impact of non-perturbative effects, namely Sommerfeld
enhancement and bound state formation, on the cosmological production of
non-thermal dark matter. For this purpose, we focus on a class of simplified
models with t-channel mediators. These naturally combine the requirements for
large corrections in the early Universe, i.e. beyond the Standard Model states
with long range interactions, with a sizable new physics production cross
section at the LHC. We find that the dark matter yield of the superWIMP
mechanism is suppressed considerably due to the non-perturbative effects under
consideration. This leads to a significant shift in the cosmologically
preferred parameter space of non-thermal dark matter in these models. We also
revisit the implications of LHC bounds on long-lived particles associated with
non-thermal dark matter and find that testing this scenario at the LHC is a
bigger challenge than previously anticipated.

This is the report of neutrino and astroparticle physics working group at
WHEPP-8. We present the discussions carried out during the workshop on selected
topics in the above fields and also indicate progress made subsequently. The
neutrino physics subgroup studied the possibilites of constraining neutrino
masses, mixing and CPT violation in lepton sector from future experiments.
Neutrino mass models in the context of abelian horizontal symmetries, warped
extra dimensions and in presence of triplet Higgs were studied. Effect of
threshold corrections on radiative magnification of mixing angles was
investigated. The astroparticle physics subgroup focused on how various
particle physics inputs affect the CMBR fluctuation spectrum, and on brane
cosmology. This report also contains an introduction on how to use the publicly
available code CMBFAST to calculate the CMBR fluctuations.

We study the azimuthal angle dependence of the energy-energy correlators
$\langle \mathcal{E}(\hat{n}_1)\mathcal{E}(\hat{n}_2)\rangle$ in the
back-to-back region for $e^+e^-$ annihilation and deep inelastic scattering
(DIS) processes with general polarization of the proton beam. We demonstrate
that the polarization information of the beam and the underlying partons from
the hard scattering is propagated into the azimuthal angle dependence of the
energy-energy correlators. In the process, we define the Collins-type EEC jet
functions and introduce a new EEC observable using the lab-frame angles in the
DIS process. Furthermore, we extend our formalism to explore the two-point
energy correlation between hadrons with different quantum numbers
$\mathbb{S}_i$ in the back-to-back limit $\langle
\mathcal{E}_{\mathbb{S}_1}(\hat{n}_1)\mathcal{E}_{\mathbb{S}_2}(\hat{n}_2)\rangle$.
We find that in the Operator Product Expansion (OPE) region the nonperturbative
information is entirely encapsulated by a single number. Using our formalism,
we present several phenomenological studies that showcase how energy
correlators can be used to probe transverse momentum dependent structures.

Starting with the basic Lagrangian of the Standard Model, the radiative
corrections to the neutron beta-decay are acquired. The electroweak
interactions are consistently taken into consideration amenably to the
Weinberg-Salam theory. The effect of the strong quark-quark interactions on the
neutron beta-decay is parameterized by introducing the nucleon electromagnetic
form factors and the nucleon weak transition current specified by the form
factors g_V, g_A, ... The radiative corrections to the total decay probability
W and to the asymmetry coefficient of the electron momentum distribution A
obtained to constitute \delta W = 8.7%, \delta A = -2% . The contribution to
the radiative corrections due to allowance for the nucleon form factors and the
nucleon exited states amounts up to a few per cent to the whole value of the
radiative corrections. The ambiguity in description of the nucleon
compositeness is this surely what causes the uncertainties ~0.1% in evaluation
of the neutron beta-decay characteristics. For now, this puts bounds to the
precision attainable in obtaining the element V_ud of the CKM matrix and the
g_V, g_A, ... values from experimental data processing.

We study the resummation of large logarithmic perturbative corrections to the
partonic cross sections relevant for the process pp->h X at high transverse
momentum of the hadron h. These corrections arise near the threshold for the
partonic reaction and are associated with soft-gluon emission. We perform the
resummation to next-to-leading logarithmic accuracy. We present numerical
results for the fixed-target regime and find enhancements over the
next-to-leading order cross section, which significantly improve the agreement
between theoretical predictions and data. We also apply the resummation for
RHIC kinematics and find that subleading terms appear to play a rather
important role here.

In a temperature dependent CPT-Violating (CPTV) axial time-like background
(induced by the Kalb-Ramond tensor field of string theory) we discuss
leptogenesis by solving the Boltzmann equation.The current work non-trivially
modifies the framework of a previous phenomenological approach by the authors
where the CPTV axial background was considered to be a constant (with no
microscopic justification). The constant background approximation though is
shown to capture the main phenomenological features of leptogenesis. On
comparing our analysis to the related chiral magnetic effect for axial current
condensates, we conclude that the Kalb-Ramond field does not play the role of
the chiral chemical potential needed for that effect.

The time evolution of initially formed large amplitude bubble of disoriented
chiral condensate (DCC) is studied. It is found that the evolution of this
object may have a relatively long pre-decay stage. Simple explanation of such
delay of the DCC bubble decay is given. This delay is related to the existence
of the approximate solutions of multi-soliton type of the corresponding radial
sine-Gordon equation in (3+1) dimensions at large bubble radius.

In a wide class of unified models there is an additional (and possibly
dominant) term in the neutrino mass formula that under the simplest assumption
takes the form M_{\nu} = (M_N + M_N^T)u/M_G, where M_N is the neutrino Dirac
mass matrix, and u = O(M_W). This makes possible highly predictive models. A
generalization of this form yields realistic neutrino masses and mixings more
readily than the usual see-saw formula in some models.

In the post-LIGO era, there has been a lot of focus on primordial black holes
(PBHs) heavier than $\sim 10^{15}$g as potential dark matter (DM) candidates.
We point out that the branch of the PBH family that disappeared - PBHs lighter
than $\sim 10^9$g that ostensibly Hawking evaporated away in the early Universe
- also constitute an interesting frontier for DM physics. Hawking evaporation
itself serves as a portal through which such PBHs can illuminate new physics,
for example by emitting dark sector particles. Taking a simple DM scalar
singlet model as a template, we compute the abundance and mass of PBHs that
could have provided, by Hawking evaporation, the correct DM relic density. We
consider two classes of such PBHs: those originating from curvature
perturbations generated by inflation, and those originating from false vacuum
collapse during a first-order phase transition. For PBHs of both origins we
compute the gravitational wave (GW) signals emanating from their formation
stage: from second-order effects in the case of curvature perturbations, and
from sound waves in the case of phase transitions. The GW signals have peak
frequencies in the MHz-GHz range typical of such light PBHs. We compute the
strength of such GWs compatible with the observed DM relic density, and find
that the GW signal morphology can in principle allow one to distinguish between
the two PBH formation histories.

In the present work we examine the implications on dark matter searches of
the possibility of a partial decay of a neutron into a dark matter particle,
slightly lighter than itself. Such a scenario recently proposed is required to
bridge the discrepancy between the results of two different experiments
measuring the life time of the neutron. It was subsequently suggested that this
light dark matter candidate could make up the whole of dark matter in the
universe. We thus first compute the nucleon cross section based on such models.
Then we proceed explore the various signatures appearing in dark matter
searches involving nuclear targets, in the case of such a light dark matter
candidate.

A calculation of weak dipole moments of charged fermions of the Standard
Model (SM) at the one-loop level, in the context of a general effective
extended neutral current model with flavor changing $Z^\prime f_i \bar{f}_j$
vertices, is presented. We give numerical predictions for the anomalous weak
magnetic dipole moment (AWMDM) $a^w_{fi}$, and the weak electric dipole moment
(WEDM) $d^w_{f_i}$, for the $\tau$ lepton and $t$ quark. For several $Z^\prime$
gauge bosons considered, we find that, for the $\tau$ lepton, the best
prediction for the real part of $a^w_{\tau}$ is of the order of $10^{-9}$,
while the imaginary part is four orders of magnitude below. The highest value
for the WEDM, $d^w_{\tau}$, corresponds to $10^{-26}$ $e$-cm, for its real
part, and the imaginary part is three orders of magnitude below. On the other
hand, we found for the top quark, that the best prediction for the real part of
$a^w_t$ is of the order of $10^{-7}$ and its imaginary part is of the order of
$10^{-11}$. We also found that $d^w_t$ is of the order of $10^{-26}$ $e$-cm for
its real part, and its imaginary part can be as high as $10^{-31}$ $e$-cm.

If massive invisible particles are pair-produced in a three-body decay, then
the energy distribution of the other (visible) product is sensitive to the mass
of the invisible pair. We use this fact in the context of a Higgs boson
decaying into (i)a Z-boson and two massive neutrinos of a fourth generation,
and (ii)a Z and two lightest particles in the minimal supersymmetric standard
model. We discuss how the Z-energy spectrum in each case can reflect the values
of the parameters in such models. (3 figures, hard copies available from

running coupling $\bar{\alpha}_s(Q^2)$ in the Euclidean domain on the basis of
the "asymptotic-freedom" expression and on causality condition in the form of
the $Q^2$-analyticity. The model contains no adjustable parameters and obeys
the important features: (i) Finite ghost-free behavior in the "low $Q^2$"
region and correspondence with the standard RG-summed UV expressions;%\item~ %
(ii) The universal limiting value $\bar{\alpha}_{an}(0)$ expressed only via
group symmetry factors. This value as well as the $\bar{\alpha}_{an}$ behavior
in the whole IR region $Q^2 \leq \Lambda^2$ turns out to be stable with respect
to higher loop corrections; %\item~ (iii) Coherence between observed
$\bar{\alpha}_s(M_{\tau}^2)$ value and integral information on the IR
$\bar{\alpha}_s(Q^2)$ behavior extracted from jet physics.

We construct a compactification of the heterotic string on an orbifold
T^6/Z_6 leading to the standard model spectrum plus vector--like matter. The
standard model gauge group is obtained as an intersection of three SO(10)
subgroups of E_8. Three families of SO(10) 16-plets are localized at three
equivalent fixed points. Gauge coupling unification favours existence of an
intermediate GUT which can have any dimension between five and ten. Various GUT
gauge groups occur. For example, in six dimensions one can have E_6 \times
SU(3), SU(4) \times SU(4) \times U(1)^2 or SO(8) \times SO(8), depending on
which of the compact dimensions are large. The different higher--dimensional
GUTs are `dual' to each other. They represent different points in moduli space,
with the same massless spectrum and ultraviolet completion.

lepton masses have a strong hierarchy and neutrino masses are almost
degenerate. It is possible to obtain a natural suppression of lepton flavor
mixing between the 1st and 3rd families as well as the approximate decoupling
of atmospheric and solar neutrino oscillations with nearly bi-maximal mixing
factors. The similarity and difference between lepton and quark flavor mixing
schemes are briefly discussed.

Analyzing the pion-mass dependence of $\pi\pi$ scattering phase shifts beyond
the low-energy region requires the unitarization of the amplitudes from chiral
perturbation theory. In the two-flavor theory, unitarization via the
inverse-amplitude method (IAM) can be justified from dispersion relations,
which is therefore expected to provide reliable predictions for the pion-mass
dependence of results from lattice QCD calculations. In this work, we provide
compact analytic expression for the two-loop partial-wave amplitudes for
$J=0,1,2$ required for the IAM at subleading order. To analyze the pion-mass
dependence of recent lattice QCD results for the $P$-wave, we develop a fit
strategy that for the first time allows us to perform stable two-loop IAM fits
and assess the chiral convergence of the IAM approach. While the comparison of
subsequent orders suggests a breakdown scale not much below the $\rho$ mass, a
detailed understanding of the systematic uncertainties of lattice QCD data is
critical to obtain acceptable fits, especially at larger pion masses.

We investigate the impact of so called kinematic constraint on gluon
evolution at small $x$. Implanting the constraint on the real emission term of
gluon ladder diagram, we obtain an integro-differential form of BFKL equation.
Later we solve the equation analytically using the method of characteristics.
We sketch the Bjorken x and transverse momentum $k_t^2$ dependence of our
solution of unintegrated gluon distributions $f(x,k_t^2)$ in kinematic
constraint supplemented BFKL equation and contrasted the same with original
BFKL equation. Then we extract the collinear gluon density $xg(x,Q^2)$ from
unintegrated gluon distributions $f(x,k_t^2)$ and compared our theoretical
prediction with that of global data fits viz. NNPDF3.1sx and CT14. Finally we
assess the sensitivity of $f(x,k_t^2)$ towards BFKL intercept $\lambda$ for
three canonical choices of $\lambda$ viz. o.4, 0.5 and 0.6.

We have calculated the next-to-leading order cross sections for the inclusive
production of D* mesons in gamma-p collisions at HERA in two approaches using
massive or massless charm quarks. The usual massive theory for the direct cross
section with charm quarks only in the final state was transformed into a
massive theory with MS-bar subtraction by subtracting the mass divergent and
additional finite terms calculated earlier in connection with the process
gamma+gamma -> D*+X. This theory approaches the massless theory with increasing
transverse momentum. The difference between the massive and the massless
approach with MS-bar subtraction is studied in detail in those kinematic
regions relevant for comparison with experimental data. With these results and
including the resolved cross section which is dominated by the part originating
from the charm in the photon, we compute the fully inclusive D* cross section
and compare it with preliminary data from the ZEUS collaboration at HERA. We
find on average good agreement.

in the space of N complex doublets $\phi_a$ but in the $N^2$-dimensional space
of real-valued bilinears constructed of $\phi_a^\dagger \phi_b$. In particular,
many insights have been gained into CP violation in the 2HDM and 3HDM by
studying how generalized CP transformations (GCPs) act in this bilinear space.
These insights relied on the fact that GCPs, which involved an odd number of
mirror reflection, could be clearly distinguished from Higgs family
transformations by the sign of the determinant of the transformation matrix. It
was recently pointed out that this criterion fails starting from 4HDM, where
the reflection/rotation dichotomy does not exist anymore. In this paper, we
restore intuition by finding a different quantity which faithfully
discriminates between GCPs and Higgs family transformations in the bilinear
space for any number of Higgs doublets. We also establish the necessary and
sufficient conditions for an orthogonal transformation in the bilinear space to
represent a viable transformation back in the space of N doublets, which is
helpful if one prefers to build an NHDM directly in the bilinear space.

We use recently proposed method of ratios to assess the quality of
geometrical scaling in deep inelastic scattering for different forms of the
saturation scale. We consider original form of geometrical scaling (motivated
by the Balitski-Kovchegov (BK) equation with fixed coupling) studied in more
detail in our previous paper, and four new hypotheses: phenomenologically
motivated case with $Q^2$ dependent exponent $\lambda$ that governs small $x$
dependence of the saturation scale, two versions of scaling (running coupling 1
and 2) that follow from the BK equation with running coupling, and diffusive
scaling suggested by the QCD evolution equation beyond mean field
approximation. It turns out that more sophisticated scenarios: running coupling
scaling and diffusive scaling are disfavored by the combined HERA data on
$e^+p$ deep inelastic structure function $F_2$.

Landau Damping in a strong magnetic field: Dissociation of Quarkonia

We have investigated the effects of strong magnetic field on the properties
of quarkonia immersed in a thermal medium of quarks and gluons and studied its
quasi-free dissociation due to the Landau-damping. Thermalizing the Schwinger
propagator in the lowest Landau levels for quarks and the Feynman propagator
for gluons in real-time formalism, we have calculated the resummed retarded and
symmetric propagators, which in turn give the real and imaginary components of
dielectric permittivity, respectively. The magnetic field affects the
large-distance interaction more than the short-distance interaction, as a
result, the real part of potential becomes more attractive and the magnitude of
imaginary part too becomes larger, compared to the thermal medium in absence of
strong magnetic field. As a consequence the average size of $J/\psi$'s and
$\psi^\prime$'s are increased but $\chi_c$'s get shrunk. Similarly the magnetic
field affects the binding of $J/\psi$'s and $\chi_c$'s discriminately, i.e. it
decreases the binding of $J/\psi$ and increases for $\chi_c$. However, the
further increase in magnetic field results in the decrease of binding energies.
On contrary the magnetic field increases the width of the resonances, unless
the temperature is sufficiently high. We have finally studied how the presence
of magnetic field affects the dissolution of quarkonia in a thermal medium due
to the Landau damping, where the dissociation temperatures are found to
increase compared to the thermal medium in absence of magnetic field. However,
further increase of magnetic field decreases the dissociation temperatures. For
example, $J/\psi$'s and $\chi_c$'s are dissociated at higher temperatures at 2
$T_c$ and 1.1 $T_c$ at a magnetic field $eB \approx 6~{\rm{and}}~4~m_\pi^2$,
respectively, compared to the values 1.60 $T_c$ and 0.8 $T_c$ in the absence of
magnetic field, respectively.

The cold dark matter of the Universe may be comprised of very light and very
weakly interacting particles, so-called WISPs. Two prominent examples are
hidden photons and axion-like particles. In this note we propose a new
technique to sensitively search for this type of dark matter with dish
antennas. The technique is broadband and allows to explore a whole range of
masses in a single measurement.

Towards identifying the minimal flavor symmetry behind neutrino

Current neutrino oscillation data indicate that the $3\times 3$
Pontecorvo-Maki-Nakagawa-Sakata matrix $U$ exhibits a $\mu$-$\tau$ flavor
interchange symmetry $|U^{}_{\mu i}| = |U^{}_{\tau i}|$ (for $i = 1, 2, 3$) as
a good approximation. In particular, the T2K measurement implies that the
maximal neutrino mixing angle $\theta^{}_{23}$ and the CP-violating phase
$\delta$ should be close to $\pi/4$ and $-\pi/2$, respectively. Behind these
observations lies a minimal flavor symmetry -- - the effective Majorana
neutrino mass term keeps invariant under the transformations $\nu^{}_{e \rm L}
\to (\nu^{}_{e \rm L})^c$, $\nu^{}_{\mu \rm L} \to (\nu^{}_{\tau \rm L})^c$ and
$\nu^{}_{\tau \rm L} \to (\nu^{}_{\mu \rm L})^c$. Extending this flavor
symmetry to the canonical seesaw mechanism, we find that the $R$-matrix
describing the strength of weak charged-current interactions of heavy Majorana
neutrinos satisfies $|R^{}_{\mu i}| = |R^{}_{\tau i}|$ as a consequence of
$|U^{}_{\mu i}| = |U^{}_{\tau i}|$. This result can be used to set a new upper
bound, which is about three orders of magnitude more stringent than before, on
the flavor mixing factor associated with the charged-lepton-flavor-violating
decay mode $\tau^- \to e^- + \gamma$.

The associate production of Higgs bosons with W or Z bosons, known as
Higgs-strahlung, is an important search channel for Higgs bosons at the hadron
colliders Tevatron and LHC for low Higgs-boson masses. We refine a previous
calculation of next-to-leading-order electroweak corrections (and recalculate
the QCD corrections) upon including the leptonic decay of the W/Z bosons,
thereby keeping the fully differential information of the 2-lepton + Higgs
final state. The gauge invariance of the W/Z-resonance treatment is ensured by
the use of the complex-mass scheme. The electroweak corrections, which are at
the level of -(5-10)% for total cross sections, further increase in size with
increasing transverse momenta p_T in differential cross sections. For instance,
for p_T,H >~ 200GeV, which is the interesting range at the LHC, the electroweak
corrections to WH production reach about -14% for M_H = 120GeV. The described
corrections are implemented in the HAWK Monte Carlo program, which was
initially designed for the vector-boson-fusion channel, and are discussed for
various distributions in the production channels pp / p \bar p -> H + l nu_l /
l^-l^+ / nu_l \bar nu_l + X.

Drell-Yan-like W-boson and Z-boson production in the resonance region allows
for high-precision measurements that are crucial to carry experimental tests of
the Standard Model to the extremes, such as the determination of the W-boson
mass and the effective weak mixing angle. In this article, we establish a
framework for the calculation of the mixed QCD-electroweak O(\alpha_s\alpha)
corrections to Drell-Yan processes in the resonance region, which are one of
the main remaining theoretical uncertainties. We describe how the Standard
Model prediction can be successfully performed in terms of a consistent
expansion about the resonance poles, which classifies the corrections in terms
of factorizable and non-factorizable contributions. The former can be
attributed to the W/Z production and decay subprocesses individually, while the
latter link production and decay by soft-photon exchange. At next-to-leading
order we compare the full electroweak corrections with the pole-expanded
approximations, confirming the validity of the approximation. At
O(\alpha_s\alpha), we describe the concept of the expansion and explicitly give
results on the non-factorizable contributions, which turn out to be
phenomenologically negligible. Our results, thus, demonstrate that for
phenomenological purposes the O(\alpha_s\alpha) corrections can be factorized
into terms associated with initial-state and/or final-state corrections.
Moreover, we argue that the factorization properties of the non-factorizable
corrections at O(\alpha_s\alpha) from lower-order O(\alpha_s) graphs generalize
to any order in O(\alpha_s^n\alpha).

The chiral critical surface is a surface of second order phase transitions
bounding the region of first order chiral phase transitions for small quark
masses in the {m_{u,d}, m_s,\mu} parameter space. The potential critical
endpoint of the QCD (T,\mu)-phase diagram is widely expected to be part of this
surface. Since for \mu=0 with physical quark masses QCD is known to exhibit an
analytic crossover, this expectation requires the region of chiral transitions
to expand with \mu for a chiral critical endpoint to exist. Instead, on coarse
N_t=4 lattices, we find the area of chiral transitions to shrink with \mu,
which excludes a chiral critical point for QCD at moderate chemical potentials
\mu_B < 500 MeV. First results on finer N_t=6 lattices indicate a curvature of
the critical surface consistent with zero and unchanged conclusions. We also
comment on the interplay of phase diagrams between the N_f=2 and N_f=2+1
theories and its consequences for physical QCD.

Spinor Operator Giving Both Angular Momentum and Parity

In heavy quark effective theory, heavy mesons which contain a heavy quark (or
antiquark) are classified by $s_l^{pi_l}$, i.e., the total angular momentum
$s_l$ and the parity $pi_l$ of the light quark degrees of freedom around a
static heavy quark. In this case, however, one needs to separately estimate the
parity other than the angular momentum of a light quark to describe heavy
mesons.
A new operator $K$ was proposed some time ago by two of us (T.M. and T.M.).
In this Letter, we show that the quantum number $k$ of this operator is enough
to describe both the total angular momentum of the light quark degrees of
freedom and the parity of a heavy meson, and derive a simple relation between
$k$ and $s_l^{pi_l}$.

In heavy quark effective theory, heavy mesons which contain a heavy quark (or antiquark) are classified by $s_l^{pi_l}$, i.e., the total angular momentum $s_l$ and the parity $pi_l$ of the light quark degrees of freedom around a static heavy quark. In this case, however, one needs to separately estimate the parity other than the angular momentum of a light quark to describe heavy mesons. A new operator $K$ was proposed some time ago by two of us (T.M. and T.M.). In this Letter, we show that the quantum number $k$ of this operator is enough to describe both the total angular momentum of the light quark degrees of freedom and the parity of a heavy meson, and derive a simple relation between $k$ and $s_l^{pi_l}$.

We propose that dark matter is dominantly comprised of atomic bound states.
We build a simple model and map the parameter space that results in the early
universe formation of hydrogen-like dark atoms. We find that atomic dark matter
has interesting implications for cosmology as well as direct detection:
Protohalo formation can be suppressed below $M_{proto} \sim 10^3 - 10^6
M_{\odot}$ for weak scale dark matter due to Ion-Radiation interactions in the
dark sector. Moreover, weak-scale dark atoms can accommodate hyperfine
splittings of order $100 \kev$, consistent with the inelastic dark matter
interpretation of the DAMA data while naturally evading direct detection
bounds.

Di-jet observables are excellent probes to study the effect of jets in dense
systems. Interacting Lund strings will affect jet observables and suggests a
new common mechanism responsible for jet modification in p-A and A-A. In this
proceeding, we present our new implementation of the string shoving mechanism
in PYTHIA8 which lets us study the effects on jet observables in p-p and
nuclear collisions. We also present preliminary results showing the effects in
hadron-jet correlation studies.

Investigations of the mass and decays of the exotic hybrid are reviewed,
including calculation of the pion1 to eta pion, eta-prime pion decay widths
within the QCD sum rules technique. In this calculation, the recently-proposed
eta, eta-prime quark mixing scheme is employed. The results indicate that the
decay width Gamma(pion1 to eta pion) around 250 MeV is large compared with the
decay width Gamma(pion1 to eta-prime pion) around 20 MeV. Inspired by these
results, some phenomenological approaches are suggested to gain an
understanding of the underlying mechanism of eta pion and eta-prime pion hybrid
decays.

The potential of seeing supersymmetry (SUSY) at the CERN Large Hadron
Collider (LHC) was studied by looking at 3 types of signals: dilepton events
from slepton pair productions, trilepton events from chargino/neutralino
productions and missing energy plus multi-jet events from gluino/squark
productions. I described my results by mapping out reachable areas in the
supergravity parameter space. Areas explorable at LEP II were also mapped out
for comparison.

We calculate the amplitudes of J^{PC}=3^{--} meson production in diffractive
DIS within the k_t-factorization approach, with a particular attention paid to
the rho_3(1690) meson. We find that at all Q^2 the rho_3(1690) production cross
section is 2-5 times smaller than the rho(1700) production cross section, which
is assumed to be a pure D-wave state. Studying sigma_L and sigma_T separately,
we observe domination of rho_3 in sigma_L and domination of rho(1700) in
sigma_T and offer an explanation of this behavior in simple terms. We also find
very strong contributions -- sometimes even domination -- of the s-channel
helicity violating amplitudes. The typical color dipole sizes probed in rho_3
production are shown to be larger than those in the ground state rho
production, and the energy dependence of rho_3 cross section turns out to be
much flatter than the rho production cross section. All the conclusions about
the relative behavior of rho_3(1690) and rho(1700) mesons are numerically
stable against variations of input parameters.

We present a supersymmetric extension of the Standard Model in which only one
electroweak doublet acquires a vacuum expectation value and gives mass to
Standard Model fermions. As well as the novel accommodation of a Standard Model
Higgs within a supersymmetric framework, this leads to a very predictive model,
with some advantages over the MSSM. In particular, problems with proton decay,
flavour changing neutral currents and large CP violation are ameliorated,
primarily due to the presence of an anomaly-free R-symmetry. Since
supersymmetry must be broken at a low scale, gravity-mediated effects which
break the R-symmetry are naturally small. The R-symmetry requires the presence
of adjoint chiral superfields, to give Dirac masses to the gauginos; these
adjoints are the only non-MSSM fields in the visible sector. The LSP is a very
light neutralino, which is mostly bino. Such a light neutralino is not in
conflict with experiment, and is a striking prediction of the minimal model.
Additional scenarios to raise the mass of this neutralino to the weak scale are
also outlined. Prospects for discovery at the LHC are briefly discussed, along
with viable scenarios for achieving gauge-coupling unification.

In many scientific fields which rely on statistical inference, simulations
are often used to map from theoretical models to experimental data, allowing
scientists to test model predictions against experimental results. Experimental
data is often reconstructed from indirect measurements causing the aggregate
transformation from theoretical models to experimental data to be
poorly-described analytically. Instead, numerical simulations are used at great
computational cost. We introduce Optimal-Transport-based Unfolding and
Simulation (OTUS), a fast simulator based on unsupervised machine-learning that
is capable of predicting experimental data from theoretical models. Without the
aid of current simulation information, OTUS trains a probabilistic autoencoder
to transform directly between theoretical models and experimental data.
Identifying the probabilistic autoencoder's latent space with the space of
theoretical models causes the decoder network to become a fast, predictive
simulator with the potential to replace current, computationally-costly
simulators. Here, we provide proof-of-principle results on two particle physics
examples, $Z$-boson and top-quark decays, but stress that OTUS can be widely
applied to other fields.

By considering the one loop background field method for a quark-antiquark
interaction, mediated by one (non perturbative) gluon exchange, sixth order
quark effective interactions are derived and investigated in the limit of zero
momentum transfer for large quark and/or gluon effective masses. They extend
fourth order quark interactions worked out in previous works of the author.
These interactions break $U_A(1)$ symmetry and may be either momentum
independent or dependent. Part of these interactions vanish in the limit of
massless quarks, and several other -- involving vector and/or axial quark
currents -- survive. In the local limit of the resulting interactions, some
phenomenological implications are presented, which correspond to corrections to
the Nambu-Jona-Lasinio model. By means of the auxiliary field method, the local
interactions give rise to three meson interactions whose values are compared to
phenomenological values found in the literature. Contributions for meson-mixing
parameters are calculated and compared to available results.

We study the chirally imbalanced hot and dense strongly interacting matter by
means of the Dyson-Schwinger equations (DSEs). The chiral phase diagram is
studied in the presence of chiral chemical potential $\mu_5$. The chiral quark
condensate $\langle \bar{\psi} \psi \rangle$ is obtained with the
Cornwall-Jackiw-Tomboulis (CJT) effective action in concert with the Rainbow
truncation. Catalysis effect of dynamical chiral symmetry breaking (DCSB) by
$\mu_5$ is observed. We examine with two popular gluon models and consistency
is found within the DSE approach, as well as in comparison with lattice QCD.
The CEP location $(\mu_E,T_E)$ shifts toward larger $T_E$ but constant $\mu_E$
as $\mu_5$ increases. A technique is then introduced to compute the chiral
charge density $n_5$ from the fully dressed quark propagator. We find the $n_5$
generally increases with temperature $T$, quark number chemical potential $\mu$
and $\mu_5$. Since the chiral magnetic effect (CME) is typically investigated
with peripheral collisions, we also investigate the finite size effect on $n_5$
and find an increase in $n_5$ with smaller system size.

A relativistic equation is deduced for the bound state of two particles, by
assuming a proper boundary condition for the propagation of the negative-energy
states. It reduces to the (one-body)Dirac equation in the infinite limit of one
of the constituent mass. It also has the symmetries to assure the existence of
the anti-bound-state with the same mass. The interaction
kernel(pseudo-potential) is systematically constructed by diagonalizing the
Hamiltonian of the background field theory, by which the retardation effects
are included in the interaction. Its wave function at the origin(WFO) behaves
properly in a manner suggested by the covariant field theory.
The equation can well be applied in the heavy quark effective theory. It can
also be used as a starting equation for the unperturbed system in the rigorous
perturbation theory of QED.

which the Standard Model (SM) gauge couplings and one of the Yukawa couplings
(top quark, bottom quark or tau lepton) are unified, without low energy
supersymmetry, at M_{GUT} \simeq 4 \times 10^{16} GeV. With gauge-top quark
Yukawa coupling unification the SM Higgs boson mass is estimated to be 135 \pm
6 GeV, which increases to 144 \pm 4 GeV for gauge-bottom quark (or gauge-tau

We present a fully differential next-to-next-to-leading order calculation of
charm quark production in charged-current deep-inelastic scattering, with full
charm-quark mass dependence. The next-to-next-to-leading order corrections in
perturbative quantum chromodynamics are found to be comparable in size to the
next-to-leading order corrections in certain kinematic regions. We compare our
predictions with data on dimuon production in (anti-)neutrino scattering from a
heavy nucleus. Our results can be used to improve the extraction of the parton
distribution function of a strange quark in the nucleon.

We present a fully differential next-to-next-to-leading order calculation of charm quark production in charged-current deep-inelastic scattering, with full charm-quark mass dependence. The next-to-next-to-leading order corrections in perturbative quantum chromodynamics are found to be comparable in size to the next-to-leading order corrections in certain kinematic regions. We compare our predictions with data on dimuon production in (anti-)neutrino scattering from a heavy nucleus. Our results can be used to improve the extraction of the parton distribution function of a strange quark in the nucleon.

Particle production and event topology are very strongly correlated in
high-energy hadronic and nuclear collisions. Event topology is decided by the
underlying particle production dynamics and medium effects. Transverse
spherocity is an event shape observable, which has been used in pp and
heavy-ion collisions to separate the events based on their geometrical shapes.
It has the unique capability to distinguish between jetty and isotropic events.
In this work, we have implemented transverse spherocity in Pb-Pb collisions at
$\sqrt{s_{\rm NN}}$ = 5.02 TeV using A Multi-Phase Transport Model (AMPT).
While awaiting for experimental explorations, we perform a feasibility study of
dependence of transverse spherocity on some of the global observables in
heavy-ion collisions at the Large Hadron Collider energies. These global
observables include the Bjorken energy density ($\epsilon_{\rm B_j}$), speed of
sound ($c_{\rm s}^2$) in the medium and the kinetic freeze-out properties for
different collision centralities. The present study reveals about the
usefulness of event topology dependent measurements in heavy-ion collisions in
contrast to proton-proton collisions.

D^{0} and D^{*0} is only 7 MeV greater than the neutral pion mass, pions can be

can be treated in perturbation theory and calculate the next-to-leading-order
correction to the partial decay width \Gamma[X \to D^0 \bar D^{0} \pi^0].

Five dimensional dilaton models are considered as possible holographic duals
of the pure gauge QCD vacuum. In the framework of these models, the QCD trace
anomaly equation is considered. Each quantity appearing in that equation is
computed by holographic means. Two exact solutions for different dilaton
potentials corresponding to perturbative and non-perturbative beta-functions
are studied. It is shown that in the perturbative case, where the beta-function
is the QCD one at leading order, the resulting space is not asymptotically AdS.
In the non-perturbative case, the model considered presents confinement of
static quarks and leads to a non-vanishing gluon condensate, although it does
not correspond to an asymptotically free theory. In both cases analyses based
on the trace anomaly and on Wilson loops are carried out.

Theoretical proposals of scaling laws for the differential elastic scattering
cross sections of protons are confronted with experimental data over a wide
energy range. Different combinations of the transferred momentum and energy
resulting from the solution of the definite partial differential equation are
attempted as scaling variables. Reasonable scaling of the differential cross
sections in the diffraction cone has been shown for one of these variables. The
violation of the geometrical scaling is ascribed to the increase of the proton
blackness with energy. The origin of high-t region violations of scaling laws

A Higgs boson produced in association with one or more bottom quarks is of
great theoretical and experimental interest to the high-energy community. A
precise prediction of its total and differential cross-section can have a great
impact on the discovery of a Higgs boson with large bottom-quark Yukawa
coupling, like the scalar (h^0 and H^0) and pseudoscalar (A^0) Higgs bosons of
the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM) in the region of large
\tan\beta. In this paper we apply the threshold resummation formalism to
determine both differential and total cross-sections for b g \to b\Phi (where
\Phi = h^0, H^0), including up to next-to-next-to-next-to-leading order (NNNLO)
soft plus virtual QCD corrections at next-to-leading logarithmic (NLL)
accuracy. We present results for both the Fermilab Tevatron and the CERN Large
Hadron Collider (LHC).

We analyze the electromagnetic production of K^+Lambda and K^0Lambda near
their production thresholds by using isobar models. In the K^+Lambda channel we
show that the model can nicely describe the available experimental data. In the
K^0Lambda channel we demonstrate that the K^0 charge form factor has sizable
effects on the longitudinal cross section. By extending the model up to W =
1730 MeV, we are able to observe the existence of the narrow P_{11} (J^p =
1/2^+) resonance in the kaon photoproduction process. It is found that the most
convincing mass (width) of this resonance is 1650 MeV (5 MeV).

Heavy Neutral Leptons (HNLs) with masses $\mathcal{O}(0.1 -
1\,\,\text{GeV}/c^{2})$ are promising candidates for the simultaneous
explanation of the smallness of the observed neutrino masses as well as the
matter-antimatter asymmetry in the observable Universe. These particles can be
produced in the decay of hadrons typically produced in a neutrino beamline used
for oscillation experiments, and have sufficient lifetime to propagate to a
near detector, where they decay to observable particles. For the approximation
of a single new mass eigenstate mixing with the Standard Model via the lepton
mixing matrix, a simulation framework based on the GENIE event generator has
been developed. This module is designed to facilitate searches for HNL through
a unified, minimal interface employing a detailed treatment of the kinematics
and dynamics of massive unstable neutrinos, with a transparently organised
suite of physics effects tracking the HNL from its production to its decay.
These mechanisms are expounded on in the current work, underlining the rich
landscape for novel, non-trivial physics that has already been identified in
previous literature. This framework is an ongoing effort to provide a
consistent and comprehensive description of heavy neutrinos from particle
decays. We highlight use cases and future applications of interest to the
accelerator neutrino community.

For neutrino oscillations to take place the entangled quantum state of a
neutrino and a charged lepton produced via charged current interactions must be
disentangled. Implementing a non-perturbative Wigner-Weisskopf method we obtain
the correct \emph{entangled} quantum state of neutrinos and charged leptons
from the (two-body) decay of a parent particle. The source lifetime and
disentanglement length scale lead to a suppression of the oscillation
probabilities in short-baseline experiments. The suppression is determined by
$\pi\, L_s/L_{osc}$ where $L_s$ is the \emph{smallest} of the decay length of
the parent particle or the disentanglement length scale. For $L_s \geq L_{osc}$
coherence and oscillations are suppressed. These effects are more prominent in
\emph{short base line experiments} and at low neutrino energy. We obtain the
corrections to the appearance and disappearance probabilities modified by both
the lifetime of the source and the disentanglement scale and discuss their

For neutrino oscillations to take place the entangled quantum state of a neutrino and a charged lepton produced via charged current interactions must be disentangled. Implementing a non-perturbative Wigner-Weisskopf method we obtain the correct \emph{entangled} quantum state of neutrinos and charged leptons from the (two-body) decay of a parent particle. The source lifetime and disentanglement length scale lead to a suppression of the oscillation probabilities in short-baseline experiments. The suppression is determined by $\pi\, L_s/L_{osc}$ where $L_s$ is the \emph{smallest} of the decay length of the parent particle or the disentanglement length scale. For $L_s \geq L_{osc}$ coherence and oscillations are suppressed. These effects are more prominent in \emph{short base line experiments} and at low neutrino energy. We obtain the corrections to the appearance and disappearance probabilities modified by both the lifetime of the source and the disentanglement scale and discuss their implications for accelerator and reactor experiments. These effects imply that fits to the experimental data based on the usual quantum mechanical formulation \emph{underestimate} $\sin^2(2\theta)$ and $\delta m^2$, and are more dramatic for $\delta m^2\simeq \,\mathrm{eV}^2$, the mass range for new generations of sterile neutrinos that could explain the short-baseline anomalies.

In this work we propose the Z -> gamma gamma decay as a process strictly
forbidden in the standard model, suitable for the search of noncommutativity of
coordinates at very short distances. We computed the Z -> gamma gamma partial
width in the framework of the recently proposed one-loop renormalizable gauge
sector of the noncommutative standard model. New experimental possibilities at
LHC are analyzed and a firm bound to the scale of noncommutativity parameter is
set around 1 TeV.

It has recently been suggested that a scale invariant "unparticle" sector
with a non-trivial infrared fixed point may couple to the Standard Model (SM)
via higher dimensional operators. The weakness of such interactions hides the
the unparticle phenomena at low energies. We demonstrate how cosmology and
astrophysics can place significant bounds on the strength of unparticle-SM
interactions. We also discuss the possibility of a having a non-negligible
unparticle relic density today.

The bipair neutrino mixing describes the observed solar and atmospheric
mixings; however, it predicts vanishing reactor mixing angle, which is
inconsistent with the observed data. We explore the ways of minimally modifying
the bipair neutrino mixing by including charged lepton contributions. There are
two categories of the bipair neutrino mixing which are referred to as case 1
and case 2. It turns out that, without arbitrary phases, a minimal modification
is realized by just considering one $e$ - $\tau$ contribution from the charged
lepton sector in the case 1. On the other hand, not only $e$ - $\tau$
contribution but also $\mu$ - $\tau$ contribution is required to realize a
minimal modification in the case 2.

We investigate properties of the color space of $SU(N_c)$ gauge theories in
the limit of small number of colors $(N_c \to 0)$ and large number of flavors.
More generally, we introduce a rescaling of $\alpha_s$ and $n_f$ which assigns
a finite limit to colored quantities as $N_c \to 0$, which reproduces their
known large-$N_c$ limit, and which expresses them as an analytic function of
$N_c^2$ for arbitrary value of $N_c$. The vanishing-$N_c$ limit has an Abelian
character and is also the small-$N_c$ limit of $[U(1)]^{N_c-1}$. This limit
does not have an obvious quantum field theory interpretation; however, it
provides practical consistency checks on QCD perturbative quantities by
comparing them to their QED counterparts. Our analysis also describes the
two-dimensional topological structure involved in the interpretation of the
small $N_c$-limit in color space.

We compare the coherent and quasielastic J/psi photoproduction in the
peripheral heavy ion collisions in kinematics of RHIC. Our improved estimate of
the total coherent cross section is a factor of two smaller than the earlier
ones. We find that the counting rate of quasielastic J/psi photoproduction
tagged by neutrons emitted due to cascading of the recoiled nucleon within the
residual nucleus exceeds the rate of the coherent events. We argue that
measurements of this process can be used to learn about the dynamics of color
dipole-nucleon interactions in nuclei in the wide effective range of energies
of gamma A interactions.

We compute systematically the probability for fluctuations of the Higgs
field, averaged over a given spatial scale, to exceed a specified value, in the
Standard Model. For the particular case of interest of averages over one
coherence volume we show that, even in the worst possible case of taking the
one-loop improved effective potential parameters, the probability for the field
to fluctuate from the symmetric to the asymmetric minimum before the latter
becomes stable is very small for Higgs masses of the order of those of the $W$
and $Z$ bosons, whereas the converse is more likely. As such, metastability
should be satisfied dynamically at the Electroweak phase transition and its
dynamics should therefore proceed by the usual mechanism of bubble nucleation
with subcritical fluctuations playing no particularly relevant role in it.

The one-loop evolution of Yukawa couplings in the minimal supersymmetric
left-right model (MSUSYLR) model with a wide variation of the right handed
breaking scale $M_R$ from 1 TeV to $10^{18}$ GeV is studied assuming that all
third generation Yukawa couplings are equal and in the fixed point domain of
the top quark Yuakwa coupling ($h_t$) at the Plank scale. We show that: (1) The
top quark Yukawa coupling $h_t$ displays a fixed point behaviour that is
similar to that of the minimal supersymmetric standard model (MSSM). (2) The
MSUSYLR model predicts a value of the top mass in the interval 177 to 184 GeV
for $\alpha_s$ in the interval 0.11 to 0.12. (3) A large value of $tan\beta$ is
required to reproduce the correct mass of the bottom quark and tau lepton. (4)
With the experimental value of the ratio ${m_b(m_b) \over m_\tau(m_\tau)}$ as
an input the range of the right handed symmetry breaking scale $M_R$ can be
predicted. (5) The numerical value of the Majorana Yukawa coupling $h_M$ can be
calculated which is otherwise a completely free parameter.

We study the feasibility to observe sterile neutrinos with masses in the
range 5 GeV $< m_N < 20$ GeV at the LHC, using exclusive semileptonic modes
involving pions, $W\to \ell N \to \pi \ell\ell, 2\pi \ell\ell$ and $3\pi
\ell\ell$. We thus cover a mass window that is between what can be studied in
meson factories and high energy colliders. We run simulations for these
exclusive events, where pions should be distinguished from the background
provided the neutrino decay exhibits a vertex displacement from its production
point. In a previous work we have estimated the theoretical rates and here we
analyze the observability of the processes at the LHC, given the fact that
exclusive hadronic states may be difficult to identify.
We study the sensitivity bounds for the observation and discovery of sterile
neutrinos in the above mass range. By the end of Run-3, current bounds on
heavy-to-light lepton mixings in the lower mass end ($\sim 5$ GeV) could be
improved by about an order of magnitude to $|U_{\ell N}|^2\sim 5\times
10^{-6}$, and the High-Luminosity LHC could reach $|U_{\ell N}|^2 \lesssim
3\times 10^{-7}$ in the mass range below 11 GeV. Studying in addition equal
sign and opposite sign dileptons, the Majorana or Dirac character of the
sterile neutrino could be revealed.

We point out that heavy fermion production through the fusion of the
longitudinal gauge bosons might be relevant in probing the strongly interacting
symmetry breaking sector of the electroweak interactions, by showing the
dependence of the one loop amplititude for ($ w^{+} w^{-} \rightarrow
\overline{t} t $) on the symmetry breaking mechanism. The one loop amplitude
for ($ w^{+} w^{-} \rightarrow \overline{t} t $) is calculated for the standard
model and extended technicolour theory. Techni-rho meson exchange is also
briefly discussed.
We find at $m_{t} = 150 ~GeV$ the cross section of top pair production in $
e^{+} e^{-}$ collisions is comparable in order of magnitude to that of the
longitudinal gauge boson scattering.

We study lepton flavor violation (LFV) within the Littlest Higgs Model with T
parity (LHT) realizing an inverse seesaw (ISS) mechanism of type I. With
respect to the traditional LHT, there appear new
$\mathcal{O}$(\textcolor{black}{10} TeV) Majorana neutrinos, driving LFV. For
$\tau\to\ell\ell'\bar{\ell}"$ (including wrong-sign, $\ell=e, \mu$) decays and
$\mu\to e$ conversion in Ti, we get typical rates only one order of magnitude
below present bounds ($\ell\to\ell'\gamma$ can reach the current upper limit)
and for $Z\to\bar{\tau}\ell$, $\mu\to e e \bar{e}$ and conversion in Au,
results are within two orders of magnitude from present limits. Correlations
among modes are drastically different to the traditional LHT and other models,
which would ease the confrontation of this scenario to eventual measurements of
LFV processes involving charged leptons.

Present limits on the top mass from LEP1 and Tevatron point to a top quark
that is considerably heavier than the $W$ vector boson in the standard model.
Hence, e+e- colliders with \sqrt{s} \simeq 300 GeV (the c.m. energy foreseen at
the first phase of the Next Linear e+e- Collider) could be well below the
energy threshold for real top-pair production. We argue that, if this is the
case, single top production through the process e+e- --> t\bar{b}W-
(\bar{t}bW+), where t\bar{b} (\bar{t}b) are produced mainly by means of a
virtual W, becomes the dominant top production mechanism. Total cross sections
and kinematical distributions are evaluated and numerical results are given in
ranges of m_t and \sqrts{s} where single top production can be of relevance.
The relative importance of virtual-W and virtual-t contributions to the process
is discussed.

We discuss the prospects of studying lepton number violating processes in
order to identify Majorana neutrinos from low scale seesaw mechanisms at
lepton-proton colliders. In particular, we consider the scenarios of colliding
electrons with LHC energy protons and, motivated by the efforts towards the
construction of a muon collider, the prospects of muon-proton collisions. We
find that present constraints on the mixing of the Majorana neutrinos still
allow for a detectable signal at these kind of facilities given the smallness
of the Standard Model background. We discuss possible cuts in order to further
increase the signal over background ratio and the prospects of reconstructing
the neutrino mass from the kinematics of the final state particles.

In this present work, we study the scattering of a pseudoscalar meson off one
ground state octet baryon in covariant baryon chiral perturbation theory up to
the next-to-next-to-leading order. We remove the power counting breaking terms
with the extended-on-mass-shell scheme. We perform the first combined study of
the pion-nucleon and kaon-nucleon scattering data and show that the covariant
baryon Chiral perturbation theory can provide a reasonable description of the
experimental data for both channels.

Using ratios of the inverse Laplace transform sum rules within stability
criteria for the subtraction point \mu in addition to the ones of the usual tau
spectral sum rule variable and continuum threshold t_c, we extract the
\pi(1300) and K(1460) decay constants to order \alpha_s^4 of perturbative QCD
by including power corrections up to dimension-six condensates, tachyonic gluon
mass, instanton and finite width corrections. Using these inputs with enlarged
generous errors, we extract, in a model-independent and conservative ways, the
sum of the scale-independent renormalization group invariant (RGI) quark masses
(m_u+ m_q):q\equiv d,s and the corresponding running masses (m_u+m_q) evaluated
at 2 GeV. By giving the value of the ratio m_u/m_d, we deduce the running quark
masses m_{u,d,s} and condensate <\bar uu> and the scale-independent mass ratios
: 2m_s/(m_u+m_d) and m_s/m_d. Using the positivity of the QCD continuum
contribution to the spectral function, we also deduce, from the inverse Laplace
transform sum rules, for the first time to order \alpha_s^4, new lower bounds
on the RGI masses which are translated into the running masses at 2 GeV and
into upper bounds on the running quark condensate <\bar uu>. Our results
summarized in Table 2 and compared with our previous results and with recent
lattice averages suggest that precise phenomenological determinations of the
sum of light quark masses require improved experimental measurements of the
\pi(1.3) and K(1.46) hadronic widths and/or decay constants which are the
dominant sources of errors in the analysis.

$^{163}$Ho has been considered as a suitable candidate for the capture of
relic antineutrinos. However, the detection of the relic antineutrino using
$^{163}$Ho is extremely challenging with current techniques. Therefore, we have
searched for new targets for relic antineutrino detections through the resonant
capture on nuclides undergoing electron capture. We have investigated nuclear
and atomic properties of all nuclides. And we finally propose $^{131}$Ba,
$^{159}$Dy, $^{175}$Hf, $^{195}$Au, and $^{243}$Cm as new candidates for the
relic antineutrino detection, and call for high precise experiments of $Q_{\rm
EC}$-values and intensities of EC decays for these new candidates.

We determine elastic and coupled-channel amplitudes for isospin-1 meson-meson
scattering in $P$-wave, by calculating correlation functions using lattice QCD
with light quark masses such that $m_\pi = 236$ MeV in a cubic volume of $\sim
(4 \,\mathrm{fm})^3$. Variational analyses of large matrices of correlation
functions computed using operator constructions resembling $\pi\pi$,
$K\overline{K}$ and $q\bar{q}$, in several moving frames and several lattice
irreducible representations, leads to discrete energy spectra from which
scattering amplitudes are extracted. In the elastic $\pi\pi$ scattering region
we obtain a detailed energy-dependence for the phase-shift, corresponding to a
$\rho$ resonance, and we extend the analysis into the coupled-channel
$K\overline{K}$ region for the first time, finding a small coupling between the
channels.

The $H^*H\pi$ form factor for H = B and D mesons is evaluated in a QCD sum
rule calculation. We study the Borel sum rule for the three point function of
two pseudoscalar and one vector meson currents up to order four in the operator
product expansion. The double Borel transform is performed with respect to the
heavy meson momenta. We discuss the momentum dependence of the form factors and
two different approaches to extract the $H^*H\pi$ coupling constant.

In this paper we construct a model that satisfies the theoretical requisites
of high energy soft interactions, based on two ingredients:(i) the results of
N=4 SYM, which at present is a unique theory that allows one to deal with a
large coupling constant; and (ii) the requirement of matching with high energy
QCD. In accordance with these ideas, we assume that the soft Pomeron intercept
is rather large, and the slope of the Pomeron trajectory is equal to zero. We
derive analytical formulae that sum both enhanced and semi-enhanced diagrams
for elastic and diffractive amplitudes. We fit the available experimental data,
and predict the valuefor cross sections at the energies accessible at the LHC.
The main corrections to the model are studied and evaluated.

We explore the 1-loop renormalization group flow of two models coming from a
generalization of the Connes-Lott version of Noncommutative Geometry in
Lorentzian signature: the Noncommutative Standard Model and its B-L extension.
Both make predictions on coupling constants at high energy, but only the latter
is found to be compatible with the top quark and Higgs boson masses at the
electroweak scale. We took into account corrections introduced by threshold
effects and the relative positions of the Dirac and Majorana neutrino mass
matrices and found them to be important. Some effects of 2-loop corrections are
briefly discussed. The model is consistent with experiments only for a very
small part of its parameter space and is thus predictive. The masses of the
$Z'$ and B-L breaking scalar are found to be of the order $10^{14}$ GeV.

The search for new physics in single- and multi-photon final states with
large missing energy at LEP and future e^+ e^- colliders requires precise
predictions for the Standard Model irreducible background. While at LEP1 the
theoretical situation is under control, going to LEP2 (and beyond) some
improvements are necessary. To approach the aimed $O(1%)$ theoretical accuracy,
the tree-level matrix elements for the processes $e^+ e^- \to \nu \bar\nu
n\gamma$, with n=1,2,3, are exactly computed in the Standard Model, including
the possibility of anomalous couplings for single-photon production. Due to the
presence of observed photons in the final state, particular attention is paid
to the treatment of higher-order QED corrections. Comparisons with existing
calculations are shown and commented. An improved version of the event
generator NUNUGPV is presented.

The search for new physics in single- and multi-photon final states with large missing energy at LEP and future e^+ e^- colliders requires precise predictions for the Standard Model irreducible background. While at LEP1 the theoretical situation is under control, going to LEP2 (and beyond) some improvements are necessary. To approach the aimed $O(1%)$ theoretical accuracy, the tree-level matrix elements for the processes $e^+ e^- \to \nu \bar\nu n\gamma$, with n=1,2,3, are exactly computed in the Standard Model, including the possibility of anomalous couplings for single-photon production. Due to the presence of observed photons in the final state, particular attention is paid to the treatment of higher-order QED corrections. Comparisons with existing calculations are shown and commented. An improved version of the event generator NUNUGPV is presented.

Many of the XYZ mesons discovered in the last decade can be identified as
bound states of a heavy quark and antiquark in Born-Oppenheimer (B-O)
potentials defined by the energy of gluon and light-quark fields in the
presence of static color sources. The mesons include quarkonium hybrids, which
are bound states in excited flavor-singlet B-O potentials, and quarkonium
tetraquarks, which are bound states in flavor-nonsinglet B-O potentials. The
deepest hybrid potentials are known from lattice QCD calculations. The deepest
tetraquark potentials can be inferred from lattice QCD calculations of static
adjoint mesons. Selection rules for hadronic transitions are derived and used
to identify XYZ mesons that are candidates for ground-state energy levels in
the B-O potentials for charmonium hybrids and tetraquarks.

The PMNS and CKM matrices are phenomenologically close to symmetric, and a
symmetric form could be used as zeroth-order approximation for both matrices.
We study the possible theoretical origin of this feature in flavor symmetry
models. We identify necessary geometric properties of discrete flavor symmetry
groups that can lead to symmetric mixing matrices. Those properties are
actually very common in discrete groups such as $A_{4}$, $S_{4}$ or
$\Delta(96)$. As an application of our theorem, we generate a symmetric lepton
mixing scheme with
$\theta_{12}=\theta_{23}=36.21^{\circ};\theta_{13}=12.20^{\circ}$ and
$\delta=0$, realized with the group $\Delta(96)$.

We present a new QCD analysis of parton distribution functions (PDFs) at the
next-to-leading order (NLO) and next-to-next-to-leading order (NNLO). In the
present paper, the role of special types of experimental measurements for
extracting PDFs is investigated and simultaneously the values of the strong
coupling constant are determined. Essential elements of this QCD analysis are:
the HERA combined data as a base, heavy quark cross section measurement
together with Tevatron data on jet production and H1 and ZEUS jet cross
sections as "non-LHC" data, and especially the "LHC" data set for top-quark and
jet cross sections. These different data sets have allowed detailed information
at low $x$, worth information on the nucleon's flavor and have played an
important role for some PDFs at large-$x$ and strong coupling constant. Since
the large-$x$ gluon PDF benefits from an accurate determination of quark PDFs,
we have enough motivation to focus on the top-quark production and jet cross
section measurements from LHC to find the impact of these data on the gluon PDF
and strong coupling constant. These experimental data have an impact on the
relative uncertainties of PDF. The gluon PDF at large-$x$ and the values of
$\alpha_s(M_Z^2)$ are affected significantly. Although, the main motivation of
this paper is to focus on gluon PDF and also its uncertainty at large-$x$, but
notice to heavy PDFs behavior in this region is also very important. We study
the intrinsic charm (IC) using BHPS model with together our extracted extrinsic
charm PDF at large $x$ which can be very worth for future experiment at the
LHC.

We have investigated the effect of nucleon and delta resonances with spins
11/2, 13/2, and 15/2 in the kaon photoproduction process $\gamma + N \to K + Y$
by using two covariant isobar models. The formalism for high-spin propagators
and interaction Lagrangians were adopted from the works of Pascalutsa and
Vrancx et al. The unknown parameters in the amplitudes, i.e., the coupling
constants and hadronic form factor cutoffs, were obtained by fitting the
calculated observables to experimental data. In the $K\Lambda$ channels the
inclusion of $N(2600)I_{1,11}$ and $N(2700)K_{1,13}$ resonances improves the
agreement between model calculations and experimental data significantly and
reduces the dominance of resonances in the model by increasing the hadronic
form factor cutoff of the Born terms. Furthermore, the inclusion of these
resonances reduces the number of resonance structures in cross sections,
including the structure in the $K^0\Lambda$ differential cross section at
$W\approx 1650$ MeV, which could become a hint of the narrow resonance. In the
$K\Sigma$ channels the inclusion of $N(2600)I_{1,11}$, $N(2700)K_{1,13}$,
$\Delta(2420)H_{3,11}$, $\Delta(2750)I_{3,13}$, and $\Delta(2950)K_{3,15}$
states also significantly improves the model and increases the hadronic form
factor cutoff of the Born terms. However, different from the $K\Lambda$
channels, the inclusion of these high-spin resonances leads to more resonance
structures in the $K^+\Sigma^0$ differential cross section. This investigation
reveals that the second and third peaks in the $K^+\Sigma^0$ differential cross
section originate from the $\Delta(2000)F_{35}$ and $N(2290)G_{19}$ resonances,
respectively. We have also evaluated the resonance properties at the pole
positions and using the Breit-Wigner method.

Diffractive reactions involving a hard scale can be understood in terms of
quarks and gluons. These reactions have become a valuable tool for
investigating the low-x structure of the proton and the behavior of QCD in the
high-density regime, and they may provide a clean environment to study or even
discover the Higgs boson at the LHC. In this paper we give a brief introduction
to the description of diffraction in QCD. We focus on key features studied in
ep collisions at HERA and outline challenges for understanding diffractive
interactions at the LHC.

The sigma-meson, which is at best a broad resonance in the vacuum, may suffer
a substantial red-shift and appear as a soft and narrow collective mode at
finite temperature and baryon densities. The physics behind this softening
phenomena and its relation to the partial restoration of chiral symmetry are
discussed. Possible experiments in laboratory to test the idea are also
summarized.

We present numerical results on bubble profiles, nucleation rates and time
evolution for a weakly first-order quark-hadron phase transition in different
expansion scenarios. We confirm the standard picture of a cosmological
first-order phase transition, in which the phase transition is entirely
dominated by nucleation. We also show that, even for expansion rates much lower
than those expected in heavy-ion collisions nucleation is very unlikely,
indicating that the main phase conversion mechanism is spinodal decomposition.

We endeavor to constrain the neutrino mass matrix on the phenomenological
ground and procure model-independent textures by emphasizing on the simple
linear relationships among the mass matrix elements. These simple textures
predict the two Majorana phases. In this regard, two types of parametrization
of neutrino mass matrix: general and exponential are employed. We obtain
fifty-three predictive neutrino mass matrix textures, out of which twenty-eight
are associated with the general parametrization, and the rest belong to the
exponential one. Apart from Type-A/P textures, the rest deal with the
prediction of a few other oscillation parameters as well. We try to realize the
proposed textures in the light of $A_4$, $\Delta\,(27)$ and $T_7$ symmetry
groups.

It is well known that the differences between the lepton numbers can be
gauged with the Standard Model matter content. Such extended gauge theories,
dubbed as the gauged U(1)$_{L_\alpha - L_\beta}$ models, have been widely
discussed so far as potential candidates for physics beyond the Standard Model.
In this work, we study the minimal versions of these gauge theories, where
three right-handed neutrinos as well as a single U(1)$_{L_\alpha - L_\beta}$
symmetry breaking Higgs field---an SU(2)$_L$ singlet or doublet---are
introduced. In these minimal models, the neutrino mass terms are constrained by
the gauge symmetry, which result in the two-zero texture or two-zero minor
structure of neutrino mass matrices. Such restrictive forms of neutrino mass
matrices lead to non-trivial predictions for the neutrino oscillation
parameters as well as the size of the mass eigenvalues. We find that due to
this restriction the minimal gauged U(1)$_{L_\alpha - L_\beta}$ models are
either incompatible with the observed values of the neutrino parameters or in
strong tension with the Planck 2018 limit on the sum of the neutrino masses.
Only the U(1)$_{L_\mu-L_\tau}$ model with an SU(2)$_L$ singlet
U(1)$_{L_\mu-L_\tau}$-breaking field barely evades the limit, which can be
tested in the future neutrino experiments.

New high statistics Belle data on the $\gamma\gamma\to\pi^+\pi^-$ reaction
cross section measured in the range of pion-pair invariant masses $\sqrt{s}$
between 0.8 GeV and 1.5 GeV are analyzed to clarify the current situation
around the $\sigma(600)$, $f_0(980)$, and $f_2(1270)$ resonances in
$\gamma\gamma$ collisions. The present analysis shows that the direct coupling
constants of the $\sigma(600)$ and $f_0(980)$ resonances to $\gamma\gamma$ are
small, and the $\sigma(600)\to\gamma\gamma$ and $f_0(980)\to\gamma\gamma$
decays are four-quark transitions caused by the $\pi^+\pi^-$ and $K^+K^-$ loop
mechanisms, respectively. The chiral shielding of the $\sigma(600)$ resonance
takes place in the reactions $\gamma\gamma\to\pi\pi$ as well as in $\pi\pi$
scattering. Some results of a simultaneous description of the
$\gamma\gamma\to\pi^+\pi^-$ and $\gamma\gamma\to\pi^0\pi^0$ Belle data are also

New high statistics Belle data on the $\gamma\gamma\to\pi^+\pi^-$ reaction cross section measured in the range of pion-pair invariant masses $\sqrt{s}$ between 0.8 GeV and 1.5 GeV are analyzed to clarify the current situation around the $\sigma(600)$, $f_0(980)$, and $f_2(1270)$ resonances in $\gamma\gamma$ collisions. The present analysis shows that the direct coupling constants of the $\sigma(600)$ and $f_0(980)$ resonances to $\gamma\gamma$ are small, and the $\sigma(600)\to\gamma\gamma$ and $f_0(980)\to\gamma\gamma$ decays are four-quark transitions caused by the $\pi^+\pi^-$ and $K^+K^-$ loop mechanisms, respectively. The chiral shielding of the $\sigma(600)$ resonance takes place in the reactions $\gamma\gamma\to\pi\pi$ as well as in $\pi\pi$ scattering. Some results of a simultaneous description of the $\gamma\gamma\to\pi^+\pi^-$ and $\gamma\gamma\to\pi^0\pi^0$ Belle data are also presented. In particular, the following tentative estimate of the $f_2(1270)\to\gamma\gamma$ decay width is obtained: $\Gamma_{f_2\to\gamma\gamma}(m^2_{f_2})\approx 3.68$ keV.

We examine the parameter space of the purely phenomenological minimal super-
symmetric standard model (MSSM), without assuming any supersymmetry breaking
scheme. We find that a large region of the parameter space can indeed yield the
lightest neutral Higgs mass around 125 GeV, as suggested by the recent ATLAS
data, and also lead to event rates around, or slightly higher than, the
standard model expectation in the two-photon and four-lepton channels. Using a
lightest neutralino that is considerably lighter than the Higgs, we find that
the 'invisible' decay of the Higgs into a pair of neutralinos upto about 10%
can be consistent with the current data from the Large Hadron Collider (LHC).

We present a general analysis of the lepton polarizations in the rare Bs
->\gamma \ell^+ \ell^- decays by using the most general model independent form
of the effective Hamiltonian. The sensitivity of the longitudinal, transverse
and normal polarizations of final state leptons, as well as lepton-antilepton
combined asymmetries, on the new Wilson coefficients are investigated. It has
been shown that all these physical observables are very sensitive to the
existence of new physics beyond the standard model and their experimental
measurements can give valuable information about it.

Using the leading twist approach to nuclear shadowing, which is based on the
relationship between nuclear shadowing and diffraction on a nucleon, we
calculate next-to-leading order nuclear parton distribution functions (nPDFs)
and structure functions in the region $0.2 > x > 10^{-5}$ and $Q^2 \geq 4$
GeV$^2$.
The uncertainties of our predictions due the uncertainties of the
experimental input and the theory are quantified. We determine the relative
role of the small ($\sim Q^2$) and large ($\gg Q^2$) diffractive masses in
nuclear shadowing as a function of $x$ and find that the large mass
contribution, which is an analog of the triple Pomeron exchange, becomes
significant only for $x \le 10^{-4}$. Comparing our predictions to the
available fixed-target nuclear DIS data, we argue, based on the current
experimental studies of the leading twist diffraction, that the data at
moderately small $x\sim 0.01$ and $Q^2 \sim 2$ GeV$^2$ could contain
significant higher twist effects hindering the extraction of nPDFs from that
data. Also, we find that the next-to-leading order effects in nuclear shadowing
in the ratio of the nucleus to nucleon structure functions $F_2$ are quite
sizable. Within the same formalism, we also present results for the impact
parameter dependence of nPDFs. We also address the problem of extracting of the
neutron
$F_{2n}(x,Q^2)$ from the deuteron and proton data. We suggest a simple and
nearly model-independent procedure of correcting for nuclear shadowing effects
using $F_2^A/F_2^D$ ratios.

Neutrinos can push our search for new physics to a whole new level. What
makes them so hard to be detected, what allows them to travel humongous
distances without being stopped or deflected allows to amplify Planck
suppressed effects (or effects of comparable size) to the level we can measure
or bound in DUNE. In this work we analyse the sensitivity of DUNE to CPT and
Lorentz--violating interactions in a framework that allows a straightforward
extrapolation of the bounds obtained to any phenomenological modification of
the dispersion relation of neutrinos.

cross section and to single and double top spin asymmetries at the parton

predictions of top quark observables, in particular of top spin-induced
parity-violating angular correlations and asymmetries at hadron colliders.

We consider a new form of analytical perturbation theory expansion in the
massless $SU(N_c)$ theory, for the non-singlet part of the
$e^+e^-$-annihilation to hadrons Adler function $D^{ns}$ and of the Bjorken sum
rule of the polarized lepton-hadron deep-inelastic scattering $C_{ns}^{Bjp}$,
and demonstrate its validity at the $O(\alpha_s^4)$-level at least. It is a
two-fold series in terms of powers of the conformal anomaly and of $SU(N_c)$
coupling $\alpha_s$. Explicit expressions are obtained for the
$\{\beta\}$-expanded perturbation coefficients at $O(\alpha_s^4)$ level in
$\bar{\rm MS}$ scheme, for both considered physical quqantities. Comparisons of
the terms in the $\{\beta\}$-expanded coefficients are made with the
corresponding terms obtained by using extra gluino degrees of freedom, or
skeleton-motivated expansion, or $R_{\delta}$-scheme motivated expansion in the
Principle of Maximal Conformality. Relations between terms of the
$\{\beta\}$-expansion for the $D^{ns}$- and $C_{ns}^{Bjp}$-functions, which
follow from the conformal symmetry limit and its violation, are presnted. The
relevance to the possible new analysis of the experimental data for the Adler
function and Bjorken sum rule is discussed.

The extremely large hierarchy observed in the fermion mass spectrum remains
as one of the most puzzling and unresolved issues in particle physics. In a
recent proposal, however, it was demonstrated that by introducing one Higgs
doublet (or Private Higgs) per fermion this hierarchy could be made natural by
making the Yukawa couplings between each fermion and its respective Higgs boson
of order unity. Among the interesting predictions of the Private Higgs scenario
is a variety of scalars which could be probed at future collider experiments
and a possible dark matter candidate. In this paper, we study in some detail
the dark matter sector of the Private Higgs model. We first calculate the
annihilation cross sections of dark matter in this model and find that one can
easily account for the observed density of dark matter in the Universe with
relatively natural values of the model's parameters. Finally, we investigate
the possibility of detecting Private Higgs dark matter indirectly via the
observation of anomalous gamma rays originating from the galactic halo. We show
that a substantial flux of photons can be produced from the annihilation of
Private Higgs dark matter such that, if there is considerable clumping of dark
matter in the galactic halo, the flux of these gamma rays could be observed by
ground-based telescope arrays such as VERITAS and HESS.

In this paper we have studied the phenomenon of non-standard interaction
mediated by a scalar field (SNSI) in the context of P2SO experiment and
compared its sensitivity with DUNE. In particular, we have studied the
capability of these two experiments to put bounds on the diagonal SNSI
parameters i.e., $\eta_{ee}$, $\eta_{\mu\mu}$ and $\eta_{\tau\tau}$ and studied
the impact of these parameters on the determination of neutrino mass ordering,
octant of $\theta_{23}$ and CP violation (CPV). In our analysis we find that,
the parameter $\Delta m^2_{31}$ has a non-trivial role if one wants estimate
the bounds on $\eta_{\mu\mu}$ and $\eta_{\tau\tau}$ assuming SNSI does not
exist in nature. Our results show that sensitivity of P2SO and DUNE to
constraint $\eta_{\mu\mu}$ and $\eta_{\tau\tau}$ are similar whereas the
sensitivity of DUNE is slightly better for $\eta_{ee}$. We find that the mass
ordering and CPV sensitivities are mostly affected by $\eta_{ee}$ compared to
$\eta_{\mu \mu}$ and $\eta_{\tau \tau}$ if one assumes SNSI exists in nature.
On the other hand, octant sensitivity is mostly affected by $\eta_{\mu \mu}$
and $\eta_{\tau \tau}$. These sensitivities can be either higher or lower than
the standard three flavour scenario depending on the relative sign of the SNSI
parameters. Regarding the precision of atmospheric mixing parameters, we find
that the precision of $\theta_{23}$ deteriorates significantly in the presence
of $\eta_{\mu\mu}$ and $\eta_{\tau\tau}$.

A class of calculable global models for neutrino oscillations based on
Lorentz and CPT violation is presented. One simple example matches established
neutrino data from accelerator, atmospheric, reactor, and solar experiments,
using only two degrees of freedom instead of the usual five. A third degree of
freedom appears in the model, and it naturally generates the MiniBooNE
low-energy anomalies. More involved models in this class can also accommodate
the LSND anomaly and neutrino-antineutrino differences of the MINOS type. The
models predict some striking signals in various ongoing and future experiments.

A class of calculable global models for neutrino oscillations based on Lorentz and CPT violation is presented. One simple example matches established neutrino data from accelerator, atmospheric, reactor, and solar experiments, using only two degrees of freedom instead of the usual five. A third degree of freedom appears in the model, and it naturally generates the MiniBooNE low-energy anomalies. More involved models in this class can also accommodate the LSND anomaly and neutrino-antineutrino differences of the MINOS type. The models predict some striking signals in various ongoing and future experiments.
