It is pointed out that the low energy effective theory that describes the low lying glueballs of the pure Yang Mills theory sustains static classical stringlike solutions. We suggest that these objects can be identified with the QCD flux tubes and their energy per unit length with the string tension.

Constrained supersymmetric models like the CMSSM might look less attractive nowadays because of fine tuning arguments. They also might look less probable in terms of Bayesian statistics. The question how well the model under study describes the data, however, is answered by frequentist p-values. Thus, for the first time, we calculate a p-value for a supersymmetric model by performing dedicated global toy fits. We combine constraints from low-energy and astrophysical observables, Higgs boson mass and rate measurements as well as the non-observation of new physics in searches for supersymmetry at the LHC. Using the framework Fittino, we perform global fits of the CMSSM to the toy data and find that this model is excluded at more than 95% confidence level.

We quantify the impact of charm quark mass and higher-order perturbative corrections on projected measurements of inclusive and charm-tagged longitudinal asymmetries at the Electron-Ion Collider (EIC) and at the Electron-ion collider in China (EicC). We demonstrate how the inclusion of these corrections is essential to compute predictions with an accuracy that matches the projected precision of the measurements.

We study Higgs boson production via Double Pomeron Exchange allowing for the presence of Pomeron remnants. We estimate the number of events produced at the LHC collider, as a function of the Higgs boson mass and its decay channel. The model which successfully describes the high mass dijet spectrum observed at Tevatron (run I) is used to predict rates of events with tagged protons for the acceptance range of the CMS/Totem experiments. Sizeable cross-sections and encouraging event selection signals are found, demonstrating especially for smaller Higgs boson masses the importance to study the diffractive channels. Tagging of the Pomeron remnants can be exploited to achieve a good resolution on the Higgs boson mass for inclusive diffractive events, by optimizing an intermediary analysis between higher cross-sections of the fully {\it inclusive} mode (all Pomeron remnants) and cleaner signals of the {\it exclusive} mode (without Pomeron remnants).

We consider two new aspects of Extensive Air Shower development universality allowing to make accurate estimation of muon and electromagnetic (EM) shower contents in two independent ways. In the first case, to get muon (or EM) signal in water Cherenkov tanks or in scintillator detectors it is enough to know the vertical depth of shower maximum and the total signal in the ground detector. In the second case, the EM signal can be calculated from the primary particle energy and the zenith angle. In both cases the parametrizations of muon and EM signals are almost independent on primary particle nature, energy and zenith angle. Implications of the considered properties for mass composition and hadronic interaction studies are briefly discussed. The present study is performed on 28000 of proton, oxygen and iron showers, generated with CORSIKA 6.735 for $E^{-1}$ spectrum in the energy range log(E/eV)=18.5-20.0 and uniformly distributed in cos^2(theta) in zenith angle interval theta=0-65 degrees for QGSJET II/Fluka interaction models.

A compressed spectrum is an anticipated hideout for many beyond standard model scenarios. Such a spectrum naturally arises in the minimal universal extra dimension framework and also in supersymmetric scenarios. Low $p_T$ leptons and jets are characteristic features of such situations. Hence, a monojet with $\not E_T$ has been the conventional signal at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). However, we stress that inclusion of $p_T$-binned track observables from such soft objects provide very efficient discrimination of new physics signals against various SM backgrounds. We consider two benchmark points each for minimal universal extra dimension (MUED) and minimal supersymmetric standard model (MSSM) scenarios. We perform a detailed cut-based and multivariate analysis (MVA) to show that the new physics parameter space can be probed in the ongoing run of LHC at 13 TeV center-of-mass energy with an integrated luminosity $\sim$ 20-50 fb$^{-1}$. When studied in conjunction with the dark matter relic density constraint assuming standard cosmology, we find that compressed MUED (with $\Lambda R=2$) can be already excluded from the existing data. Also, MVA turns out to be a better technique than regular cut-based analysis since tracks provide uncorrelated observables which would extract more information from an event.

We present an updated version of the QCD-based colour reconnection model in PYTHIA8, where we constrain the range in impact parameter for which reconnections are allowed. In this way, we can introduce more realistic colour reconnections in the Angantyr model for heavy ion collisions, where previously only reconnections within separate nucleon sub-collisions have been allowed. We investigate how the new impact parameter constraint influences final states in pp collisions, and retune parameters of the multi-parton interaction parameters in PYTHIA to compensate so that minimum bias data are reproduced. We also study multiplicity distributions in pA collisions and find that, in order to counteract the loss in multiplicity due to the introduction of global colour reconnections, we need to modify some parameters in the Angantyr model while keeping the parameters tuned to pp fixed. With Angantyr we can then extrapolate to AA collisions without further parameter tuning and retaining a reasonable description of the basic multiplicity distributions.

Complex scalar fields charged under approximate $U(1)$ symmetries appear in well-motivated extensions of the Standard Model. One example is the field that contains the QCD axion field associated with the Peccei-Quinn symmetry; others include flat directions in supersymmetric theories with baryon, lepton, or flavor charges. These fields may take on large values and rotate in field space in the early universe. The relevant approximate $U(1)$ symmetry ensures that the angular direction of the complex field is light during inflation and that the rotation is thermodynamically stable and is long-lived. These properties allow rotating complex scalar fields to naturally serve as curvatons and explain the observed perturbations of the universe. The scenario imprints non-Gaussianity in the curvature perturbations, likely at a level detectable in future large scale structure observations. The rotation can also explain the baryon asymmetry of the universe without producing excessive isocurvature perturbations.

These fields may take on large values and rotate in field space in the early universe. The relevant approximate $U(1)$ symmetry ensures that the angular direction of the complex field is light during inflation and that the rotation is thermodynamically stable and is long-lived. These properties allow rotating complex scalar fields to naturally serve as curvatons and explain the observed perturbations of the universe. The scenario imprints non-Gaussianity in the curvature perturbations, likely at a level detectable in future large scale structure observations. The rotation can also explain the baryon asymmetry of the universe without producing excessive isocurvature perturbations.

We compute the density of a spin-$\frac32$ particle, the raritron, produced at the end of inflation due to gravitational interactions. We consider a background inflaton condensate as the source of this production, mediated by the exchange of a graviton. This production greatly exceeds the gravitational production from the emergent thermal bath during reheating. The relic abundance limit sets an absolute minimum mass for a stable raritron, though there are also model dependent constraints imposed by unitarity. We also examine the case of gravitational production of a gravitino, taking into account the goldstino evolution during reheating. We compare these results with conventional gravitino production mechanisms.

In direct gauge mediation, the gaugino masses are anomalously small, giving rise to a split SUSY spectrum. Here we investigate the superpartner spectrum in a minimal version of "direct gaugino mediation." We find that the sfermion masses are comparable to those of the gauginos - even in the hybrid gaugino-gauge mediation regime - if the messenger scale is sufficiently small.

Because of the infrared renormalons, it is difficult to get power accuracy in the traditional approach to the Wilson's operator product expansion. Based on a new perturbative renormalization scheme for power-divergent operators, I propose a practical version of the OPE that allows to calculate power corrections to desired accuracy. The method is applied to the expansion of the vector-current correlation function in QCD vacuum, in which field theoretical status of the gluon condensate is discussed.

The orbital angular momentum operator expansion turns to be a powerful tool to construct the fully covariant partial wave amplitudes of hadron decay reactions and hadron photo- and electroproduction processes. In this paper we consider a useful development of the orbital angular momentum operator expansion method. We present the differential technique allowing the direct calculation of convolutions of two orbital angular momentum operators with an arbitrary number of open Lorentz indices. This differential technique greatly simplifies calculations when the reaction subject to the partial wave analysis involves high spin particles in the initial and/or final states. We also present a useful generalization of the orbital angular momentum operators.

With the vast data-collecting capabilities of current and future high-energy collider experiments, there is an increasing demand for computationally efficient simulations. Generative machine learning models enable fast event generation, yet so far these approaches are largely constrained to fixed data structures and rigid detector geometries. In this paper, we introduce EPiC-GAN - equivariant point cloud generative adversarial network - which can produce point clouds of variable multiplicity. This flexible framework is based on deep sets and is well suited for simulating sprays of particles called jets. The generator and discriminator utilize multiple EPiC layers with an interpretable global latent vector. Crucially, the EPiC layers do not rely on pairwise information sharing between particles, which leads to a significant speed-up over graph- and transformer-based approaches with more complex relation diagrams. We demonstrate that EPiC-GAN scales well to large particle multiplicities and achieves high generation fidelity on benchmark jet generation tasks.

Embeddings of the standard model in type II string theory typically contain a variety of U(1) gauge factors arising from D-branes in the bulk. In general, there is no reason why only one of these - the one corresponding to weak hypercharge - should be massless. Observations require that standard model particles must be neutral (or have an extremely small charge) under additional massless U(1)s, i.e. the latter have to belong to a so called hidden sector. The exchange of heavy messengers, however, can lead to a kinetic mixing between the hypercharge and the hidden-sector U(1)s, that is testable with near future experiments. This provides a powerful probe of the hidden sectors and, as a consequence, of the string theory realisation itself. In the present paper, we show, using a variety of methods, how the kinetic mixing can be derived from the underlying type II string compactification, involving supersymmetric and nonsupersymmetric configurations of D-branes, both in large volumes and in warped backgrounds with fluxes. We first demonstrate by explicit example that kinetic mixing occurs in a completely supersymmetric set-up where we can use conformal field theory techniques. We then develop a supergravity approach which allows us to examine the phenomenon in more general backgrounds, where we find that kinetic mixing is natural in the context of flux compactifications. We discuss the phenomenological consequences for experiments at the low-energy frontier, searching for signatures of light, sub-electronvolt or even massless hidden-sector U(1) gauge bosons and minicharged particles.

We first deduce the analytical continuation in the complex planes of the initial and final three-momenta of the Lippmann-Schwinger equation in coupled or uncoupled partial-wave amplitudes. This result allows us to deduce a master equation whose solution is the exact discontinuity of the on-shell partial-wave amplitudes along the left-hand cut. This equation is always a linear non-singular integral equation whose solution is fixed exclusively by the knowledge of the potential, applicable to either regular or singular potentials. The capability of calculating exactly this discontinuity allows one to settle the exact $N/D $ method in two-body non-relativistic scattering for coupled and uncoupled waves. We exemplify this new advance in scattering theory by explicitly checking the agreement between the Lippmann-Schwinger equation with the corresponding solutions of the exact $N/D$ method for some examples that involve regular and singular potentials, either attractive or repulsive.

The BaBar analysis which favours $2^{-+}$ quantum numbers for the X(3872) implies that it may be none other than the 1D2 charmonia state. In that case the isospin breaking in closed flavour modes may be the result of re-scattering from open flavour. However, the observed production cross section in proton-antiproton collisions is much larger than expectations, while the mass of the state, compared to the predictions of a string model, is too high. The 1D2 assignment would imply a 3D2 partner nearby in mass, which may be the X(3875). In the tetraquark interpretation the $2^{-+}$ assignment implies a rich spectrum of partner states, although the X(3872) may be among the few which are narrow enough to be observable. This talk is based in part on "The 2-+ assignment for the X(3872)" by T. J. Burns, F. Piccinini, A. D. Polosa & C. Sabelli (Phys. Rev. D 82, 074003 (2010); arXiv:1008.0018 [hep-ph]).

We obtain generalised power series expansions for a family of planar two-loop master integrals relevant for the QCD corrections to Higgs + jet production, with physical heavy-quark mass dependence. This is achieved by defining differential equations along contours connecting two fixed points, and by solving them in terms of one-dimensional generalised power series. The procedure is efficient and can be repeated in order to reach any point of the kinematic regions. The analytic continuation of the series is straightforward and we present new results below and above the physical thresholds. The method we use allows to compute the integrals in all kinematic regions with high precision. Performing a series expansion on a typical contour above the physical threshold takes on average $\mathcal{O}(1 \text{ second})$ per integral with worst relative error of $\mathcal{O}(10^{-32})$, on a single CPU core. After the series is found the numerical evaluation of the integrals in any point of the contour is virtually instant. Our approach is general and can be applied to Feynman integrals provided that a set of differential equations is available.

We present a new scheme for tagging high-$p_{T}$ bottom and charm jets using energetic muons. Contemporary track-based $b$ tags lose their ability to reject light jet background as jet $p_{T}\rightarrow\mathcal{O}(\mathrm{TeV})$, where the massive boost exposes fundamental limits in tracking resolution. For our "$\mu_{x}$" tag, the signal efficiency and light jet rejection is robust versus $p_{T}$. In the tested regime (jet $p_{T}\in[\mathrm{0.5,2.1}]$ TeV), $\mu_{x}$ tags $\sim14\%$ of $b$ jets, $\sim6.5\%$ of $c$ jets and $\sim0.65\%$ of light jets. Since $\mu_{x}$ tagging should be immediately useful in a searches for heavy resonances, we test it with a typical dijet search --- a heavy, leptophobic $Z^{\prime}$.

The spontaneous symmetry breaking of a local chiral symmetry to its diagonal vector symmetry naturally realizes a complete geometrical structure more general than that of Yang-Mills (YM) theory, rather similar to that of gravity. A good example is the Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) with respect to the Chiral Color model. Also, a new anomaly-free particle content for a Chiral Color model is introduced: the Chiral Color can be realized without introducing whole new generations of quarks and leptons, but by simply enlarging each generation with new exotic fermions.

In this work, we find a Critical Energy induced Enhancement (CEE) mechanism for the general three-body open-charm process at the $e^+e^-$ collisions, which utilizes the peculiar kinematic behavior of the $e^+e^-$ annihilation process involving three-body final states. We present a general analysis of a three-body process $e^+e^-\to BC\to B(C\to DE)$. When the center-of-mass (CM) energy of the $e^+e^-$ collision satisfies a critical relation $\sqrt{s}=m_B+m_C$, there clearly exists the reflection peak of an intermediate $C$ state near the threshold of the invariant mass distribution of $m_{BE}$ or $m_{BD}$, whose formation is very sensitive to the CM energy. The reflection enhancement phenomenon induced at the critical energy means that a new cluster of charmoniumlike structures can be experimentally mapped. Taking an example of $e^+e^-\to D_s^{*-}D_{s2}^*(2573)^+ \to D_s^{*-}(D^0K^+)$, we further illustrate this novel phenomenon when $\sqrt{s}=4.680$ GeV.

In this work, we find a Critical Energy induced Enhancement (CEE) mechanism for the general three-body open-charm process at the $e^+e^-$ collisions, which utilizes the peculiar kinematic behavior of the $e^+e^-$ annihilation process involving three-body final states. We present a general analysis of a three-body process $e^+e^-\to BC\to B(C\to DE)$. When the center-of-mass (CM) energy of the $e^+e^-$ collision satisfies a critical relation $\sqrt{s}=m_B+m_C$, there clearly exists the reflection peak of an intermediate $C$ state near the threshold of the invariant mass distribution of $m_{BE}$ or $m_{BD}$, whose formation is very sensitive to the CM energy. The reflection enhancement phenomenon induced at the critical energy means that a new cluster of charmoniumlike structures can be experimentally mapped. Taking an example of $e^+e^-\to D_s^{*-}D_{s2}^*(2573)^+ \to D_s^{*-}(D^0K^+)$, we further illustrate this novel phenomenon when $\sqrt{s}=4.680$ GeV.

We investigate the Beyond Standard Model discovery potential in the framework of the Effective Field Theory (EFT) for the same-sign $WW$ scattering process in purely leptonic $W$ decay modes at the High-Luminosity and High-Energy phases of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). The goal of this paper is to examine the applicability of the EFT approach, with one dimension-8 operator varied at a time, to describe a hypothetical new physics signal in the $WWWW$ quartic coupling. In the considered process there is no experimental handle on the $WW$ invariant mass, and it has previously been shown that the discovery potential at 14 TeV is rather slim. In this paper we report the results calculated for a 27 TeV machine and compare them with the discovery potential obtained at 14 TeV. We find that while the respective discovery regions shift to lower values of the Wilson coefficients, the overall discovery potential of this procedure does not get significantly larger with a higher beam energy.

In this letter, we perform partial wave decomposition on coupled-channel scattering amplitudes, $J/\psi J/\psi$-$J/\psi \psi(2S)$-$J/\psi \psi(3770)$, to study the resonance appears in these processes. Effective Lagrangians are used to describe the interactions of four charmed vector mesons, and the scattering amplitudes are calculated up to the next-to-leading order. Partial wave projections are performed, and unitarization is implemented by Pad\'e approximation. Then we fit the amplitudes to the $J/\psi J/\psi$ invariant mass spectra measured by LHCb and determine the unknown couplings. The pole parameters of the $X(6900)$ are extracted as $M=6861.0^{+6.3}_{-8.8}$~MeV and $\Gamma=129.0^{+5.6}_{-3.4}$~MeV. Our analysis implies that its quantum number prefers to be $0^{++}$. The pole counting rule and phase shifts show that it is a normal Breit-Wigner resonance and, hence, should be a compact tetraquark.

We propose a novel technique to probe the beyond standard model (BSM) of particle physics. The mass spectrum of unknown BSM particles can be scanned by observing gravitational waves (GWs) emitted by Hawking radiation of black holes. This is because information on the radiation of the BSM particles is imprinted in the spectrum of the GWs. We fully calculate the GW spectrum from evaporating black holes taking into account the greybody factor. As an observationally interesting application, we consider primordial black holes which evaporate in the very early universe. In that case, since the frequencies of GWs are substantially redshifted, the GWs emitted with the BSM energy scales become accessible by observations.

If the stop is the next-to-lightest supersymmetric particle (NLSP) and the mass difference to the neutralino is smaller than the top mass, it can decay via flavour-violating decay modes to $c\tilde{\chi}^0_1/u\tilde{\chi}^0_1$ or a four-body decay to $b\tilde{\chi}_1^0f\bar{f}'$, which above the $W$ boson threshold corresponds to the decay to $b\tilde{\chi}_1^0W$. Improving on existing calculations for these decay modes, we analyse the branching ratios (BRs) for the respective decays and show that they can significantly deviate from one.

The couplings $g_{\rho HH}$ of the $\rho$ meson with any hadron H are calculated in a holographic dual of QCD where the Regge trajectories for mesons are manifest. The resulting couplings grow linearly with the exciting number of H, thus are far from universal. A simple argument has been given for this behavior based on quasi-classical picture of excited hadrons. It seems that in holographic duals with exact Regge trajectories the $g_{\rho HH}$ universality should be violated. The $\rho$-dominance for the electromagnetic form factors of H are also strongly violated, except for the lowest state, the pion. Quite unexpected, the form factor of the pion is completely saturated by the contribution of the $\rho$. The asymptotic behavior of the form factors are also calculated, and are found to be perfectly accordant with the prediction of conformal symmetry and pertubative QCD.

Semi-exclusive processes like \gamma p \to \pi^+ Y are closely analogous to DIS, ep \to eX, in the limit where the momentum transfer |t| to the pion and the mass of the inclusive system Y are large but still much smaller than the total CM energy. We apply Bloom-Gilman duality to this semi-exclusive process. The energy dependence of the \gamma p \to \pi^+ n cross section given by semi-local duality agrees with data for moderate values of |t|, but its normalization is underestimated by about two orders of magnitude. This indicates that rather high momentum transfers are required for the validity of PQCD in the hard subprocess \gamma u \to \pi^+ d. In the case of Compton scattering \gamma p \to \gamma p the analogous discrepancy is about one order of magnitude. In electroproduction the virtuality of the incoming photon can be used to directly measure the hardness of the subprocess.

We introduce a factorization formula for semi-leptonic $b \to u$ transitions in the exclusive decay mode $B^- \to \pi^+\pi^-\ell^-\bar\nu_\ell$ in the limit of large pion energies and large dipion invariant mass. One contribution can be described in terms of a universal $B \to \pi$ form factor and the convolution of a short-distance kernel $T^{\rm I}$ with the respective light-cone distribution amplitudes (LCDAs) of the positively charged pion. The second contribution, at leading power, completely factorizes, with a short-distance kernel $T^{\rm II}$ convoluted with the leading-twist LCDAs for both pions and the $B$-meson. We calculate the leading contributions to the short-distance kernels $T^{\rm I}$ and $T^{\rm II}$ in fixed-order perturbation theory, and discuss the approximate relations among the resulting $B \to \pi\pi$ partial-wave form factors. Our results provide useful theoretical constraints for phenomenological models that aim to analyze the complete $B \to \pi\pi \ell\nu$ phase space.

Recently the radiative B decay to the strange axial-vector mesons, B --> K1(1270) gamma, has been observed with rather large branching ratio. This process is particularly interesting as the subsequent K1 decay into its three body final state allows us to determine the polarization of the photon, which is mostly left- (right-)handed for Bbar (B) in the SM while various new physics models predict additional right- (left-)handed components. A new method is proposed to determine the polarization, exploiting the full Dalitz plot distribution, which seems to reduce significantly the statistical errors. This polarization measurement requires however a detailed knowledge of the K1--> K pi pi strong interaction decays, namely, the various partial wave amplitudes into the several possible quasi two-body channels, as well as their relative phases. The pattern of partial waves is especially complex for the K1(1270). We attempt to obtain the information through the combination of an experimental input and a theoretical one, provided by the 3P0 quark-pair-creation model.

Several recent numerical studies have examined the effects of neutrino neutral-current scattering on fast flavor conversion (FFC). Those studies are in apparent conflict, with some finding enhancement of flavor conversion and others finding suppression. The ones that report enhancement all use homogeneous models, and we discuss in detail the self-consistency issues that they face as a result. We reproduce scattering-enhanced FFC in our own homogeneous calculations, showing that it occurs for both neutral- and charged-current scattering and that it is due to isotropization of the angular distributions over time. Because this is the very feature of the calculations that is not self-consistent, we conclude that the enhancement effect is of unclear astrophysical relevance and may not occur in natural environments.

Coherent oscillations of the inflaton field at the end of inflation can parametrically excite fermions in much the same way that bosons are created in preheating. Although Pauli-blocking prohibits the occupation number of created fermions from growing exponentially, fermion production occurs in a manner significantly different from the expectations of simple perturbation theory. Here, I discuss the nature of fermion production after inflation and possible applications including the efficient transfer of inflaton energy and the production of super-massive fermions during fermionic preheating.

In charmed $D$ and $D_s$ mesons sector, the matrix of a Hamiltonian in a quark potential model is computed in the $2^3S_1$ and $1^3D_1$ subspace. The masses of four mixed states of $2^3S_1$ and $1^3D_1$ denoted with $D^*_1(2635)$, $D^*_1(2739)$, $D^*_{s1}(2715)$ and $D^*_{s1}(2805)$ are obtained. It is an off-diagonal part of the spin-orbit tensor interaction that causes the mixing between the $2^3S_1$ and $1^3D_1$ states. The mixing angles between the $2^3S_1$ and $1^3D_1$ states are tiny. Under the mixing, a $^3P_0$ model is employed to compute the hadronic decay widths of all OZI-allowed decay channels of the four mixed states. The two light mixed states $D^*_1(2635)$ and $D^*_{s1}(2715)$ are close in mass to $D^*_J(2600)$ and $D^*_{s1}(2700)$, while the two heavy mixed states $D^*_1(2739)$ and $D^*_{s1}(2805)$ are lighter in mass than $D(2750)$ and $D^*_{s1}(2860)$. The mixing angles obtained from dynamical interaction are inconsistent with the mixing angles obtained from hadronic decay. Based on mass spectra and hadronic decay analyses, $D^*_J(2600)$, $D(2750)$, $D^*_{s1}(2700)$ and $D^*_{s1}(2860)$ are impossibly the mixed states of $2^3S_1$ and $1^3D_1$ at the small mixing angles. The inconsistence implies that $D^*_1(2760)$ and $D^*_{s1}(2860)$ have not been properly resolved from present experimental data, or there exist large unknown off-diagonal interactions that result in large mixing angles.

Weakly coupled, almost massless, spin 0 particles have been predicted by many extensions of the standard model of particle physics. Recently, the PVLAS group observed a rotation of polarization of electromagnetic waves in vacuum in the presence of transverse magnetic field. This phenomenon is best explained by the existence of a weakly coupled light pseudoscalar particle. However, the coupling required by this experiment is much larger than the conventional astrophysical limits. Here we consider a hypothetical self-interacting pseudoscalar particle which couples weakly with visible matter. Assuming that these pseudoscalars pervade the galaxy, we show that the solar limits on the pseudoscalar-photon coupling can be evaded.

We consider the assumption that a tachyonic gluon mass imitates short-distance nonperturbative physics of QCD. The phenomenological implications include modifications of the QCD sum rules for correlators of currents with various quantum numbers. The new 1/Q^2 terms allow to resolve in a natural way old puzzles in the pion and scalar-gluonium channels. They lead to a slight reduction of the values of the running light quark masses from the (pseudo)scalar sum rules and of alpha_s(M_\tau) from tau decay data. Further tests can be provided by precision measurements of the correlators on the lattice and by the e^+e^- --> hadrons data.

We calculate the electromagnetic fields generated in small systems by using a multiphase transport (AMPT) model. Compared to $A+A$ collisions, we find that the absolute electric and magnetic fields are not small in $p$+Au and $d$+Au collisions at energies available at the BNL Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider and in $p$+Pb collisions at energies available at the CERN Large Hadron Collider. We study the centrality dependencies and the spatial distributions of electromagnetic fields. We further investigate the azimuthal fluctuations of the magnetic field and its correlation with the fluctuating geometry using event-by-event simulations. We find that the azimuthal correlation $\left\langle \cos2(\Psi_B - \Psi_{2}) \right\rangle$ between the magnetic field direction and the second harmonic participant plane is almost zero in small systems with high multiplicities, but not in those with low multiplicities. This indicates that the charge azimuthal correlation, $\left\langle \cos(\phi_{\alpha}+\phi_{\beta} - 2\Psi_{RP}) \right\rangle$, is not a valid probe to study the chiral magnetic effect (CME) in small systems with high multiplicities. However, we suggest searching for possible CME effects in small systems with low multiplicities.

The total gluon helicity in a polarized proton, measurable in high-energy scattering, is shown to be the large momentum limit of a gauge-invariant but non-local, frame-dependent gluon spin $\vec{E}\times \vec{A}_\perp$ in QCD. This opens a door for a non-perturbative calculation of this quantity in lattice QCD, and also justifies using free-field expressions in the light-cone gauge as physical observables.

We analyze a model based on SUSY SO(10) combined with SU(2) family symmetry and symmetric mass matrices constructed by the authors recently. Previously, only the parameter space for the LOW and vacuum oscillation (VO) solutions was investigated. We indicate in this note the parameter space which leads to large mixing angle (LMA) solution to the solar neutrino problem with a slightly modified effective neutrino mass matrix. The symmetric mass textures arising from the left-right symmetry breaking and the SU(2) symmetry breaking give rise to very good predictions for the quark and lepton masses and mixing angles. The prediction of our model for the |U_{e\nu_{3}}| element in the Maki-Nakagawa-Sakata (MNS) matrix is close to the sensitivity of current experiments; thus the validity of our model can be tested in the near future. We also investigate the correlation between the |U_{e\nu_{3}}| element and \tan^{2}\theta_{\odot} in a general two-zero neutrino mass texture.

We analyze deep inelastic scattering at small Bjorken x, using the approximate conformal invariance of QCD at high energies. Hard pomeron exchanges are resummed eikonally, restoring unitarity at large values of the phase shift in the dual AdS geometry. At weak coupling this phase is imaginary, corresponding to a black disk in AdS. In this saturated regime, cross sections exhibit geometric scaling and have a simple universal form, which we test against available experimental data for the proton structure function F_2(x,Q^2). We predict, in particular, the dependence of the cross section on the scaling variable (Q/Q_s)^2 in the deeply saturated region, where Q_s is the usual saturation scale. We find agreement with current data on F_2 in the kinematical region 0.5 < Q^2 < 10 GeV^2, x < 10^-2, with an average 6% accuracy. We conclude by discussing the relation of our approach with the commonly used dipole formalism.

In a recent paper, we investigated the effects of the massive charged gauge bosons (bileptons) predicted by the minimal 331 model on the off-shell vertex WWV^* (V=gamma, Z) using a SU_L(2) X U_Y(1) covariant gauge-fixing term for the bileptons. We proceed along the same lines and calculate the effects of the gauge bosons predicted by the 331 model with right-handed neutrinos. It is found that the bilepton effects on the WWV^* vertex are of the same order of magnitude than those arising from the SM and several of its extensions, provided that the bilepton mass is of the order of a few hundred of GeVs. For heavier bileptons, their effects on the WWV^* vertex are negligible. The behavior of the form factors at high energies is also discussed as it is a reflect of the gauge invariance and gauge independence of the WWV^* Green function obtained via our quantization method.

We present the results of a coupled-channel model for $\bar{K}N$ scattering in the resonance region. The model fulfills unitarity, has the correct analytical properties for the amplitudes and the partial waves have the right threshold behavior. The parameters of the model have been established by fitting single-energy partial waves up to $J=7/2$ and up to 2.15 GeV of center-of-mass energy. The $\Lambda^*$ and $\Sigma^*$ spectra has been obtained, providing a comprehensive picture of the $S=-1$ hyperon spectrum. We use the structure of the hyperon spectrum and Regge phenomenology to gain insight on the nature of the $\Lambda(1405)$ resonances.

In 4d lattice simulations of Standard Model like theories, the renormalized gauge coupling in the broken phase can be determined from the prefactor of the Yukawa term in the static potential. We compute the same quantity in terms of the conventional MSbar scheme gauge coupling. The result allows for a further non-perturbative test of finite temperature dimensional reduction, by a comparison of the critical temperatures for the electroweak phase transition as obtained with 4d lattice simulations and with 3d effective theory simulations.

We examine the possible limitations on $N$ from precision measurements of these parameters. In view of the complexity of the general case of NHDM, we analyze several benchmark scenarios for the Higgs mass spectrum, identifying the lightest CP-even Higgs with the Higgs-like particle recently observed at the LHC with the mass of $\sim 125$ GeV. The rest of the Higgses are put above the mass scale of $\sim 600$ GeV, below which the LHC experiments do not detect any Higgs-like signals except for the former famous one. We show that, in a scenario, with all the heavy Higgses degenerate at any scale, there are no limitations on the number $N$ of the Higgs doublets. However, upper limits appear for certain not completely degenerate configurations of the heavy Higgses.

The Operator Product Expansion provides expressions for the $n^{th}$ moments of $g_1(x)$ and $g_2(x)$ in terms of hadronic matrix elements of local operators for $n =$ odd integer. In some cases these matrix elements are expected to be small leading to approximate sum rules for the {\em odd\/} moments of $g_{1,2}(x)$. We have shown how, working in a field-theoretic framework, one can derive expressions for the {\em even\/} moments of the {\em valence\/} parts of $g_{1,2}(x)$. These expressions cannot be written as matrix elements of {\em local\/} operators and do not coincide with the analytic continuation to $n=$ even integer of the OPE results. Just as for the OPE one can in some cases argue that the hadronic matrix elements should be small, leading to approximate sum rules for the moments of the valence parts of $g_{1,2}(x)$. But, most importantly, for the case $n=2$ we have proved rigorously that the hadronic matrix element vanishes, yielding the exact ELT sum rule \int^1_0 dx\, x\left[g^V_1(x)+2g^V_2(x)\right]=0. We have argued that the convergence properties of this sum rule are good and have discussed how it can be used to get information about $g_2(x)$ and as a further test of QCD.

We propose a unified setup for dark matter, inflation and baryon asymmetry generation through the neutrino mass seesaw mechanism. Our scenario emerges naturally from an extended gauge group containing $B-L$ as a non-commutative symmetry, broken by a singlet scalar that also drives inflation. Its decays reheat the universe, producing the lightest right-handed neutrino. Automatic matter parity conservation leads to the stability of an asymmetric dark matter candidate, directly linked to the matter-antimatter asymmetry in the universe.

As RHIC is entering the precision measurement era and the LHC is producing a copious amount of new data, the role of 3+1D event-by-event viscous hydrodynamics is more important than ever to understand the bulk data as well as providing the background for hard probes. For more meaningful comparison with the experimental data, it is also important that hydrodynamics be coupled to the hadronic afterburner. In this proceeding we report on preliminary results of coupling MUSIC with UrQMD.

In the 90s of the last century high statistics experiments with fully equipped 4$\pi$ detectors have lead to a better insight in the spectrum of hadrons. In particular the finding of crypto-exotic and $J^{PC}$ exotic states tremendously improved the experimental situation in meson spectroscopy. All this was possible only with sophisticated analysis methods like the decomposition of measured phase-space distribution into partial waves and to express the partial waves in terms of complicated dynamical functions. This paper gives an introduction about the concepts and formalisms involved.

The similarity of the visible and dark matter abundances indicates that they may originate via the same mechanism. If both the dark and the visible matter are charged under a generalized baryon number which remains always conserved, then the asymmetry of the visible sector may be compensated by an asymmetry in the dark sector. We show how the separation of baryonic and antibaryonic charge can originate in the vacuum, via the Affleck-Dine mechanism, due to the breaking of a symmetry orthogonal to the baryon number. Symmetry restoration in the current epoch guarantees the individual stability of the two sectors.

We construct the relationship between nonrenormalizable,effective, time-reversal violating (TV) parity-conserving (PC) interactions of quarks and gauge bosons and various low-energy TVPC and TV parity-violating (PV) observables. Using effective field theory methods, we delineate the scenarious under which experimental limits on permanent electric dipole moments (EDM's) of the electron, neutron, and neutral atoms as well as limits on TVPC observables provide the most stringent bounds on new TVPC interactions. Under scenarios in which parity invariance is restored at short distances, the one-loop EDM of elementary fermions generate the most severe constraints. The limits derived from the atomic EDM of $^{199}$Hg are considerably weaker. When parity symmetry remains broken at short distances, direct TVPC search limits provide the least ambiguous bounds. The direct limits follow from TVPC interactions between two quarks.

We investigate new decay topologies of heavy neutral Higgses in two Higgs doublet model with vectorlike leptons. We also discuss constraints from existing searches and discovery prospects. Among the most interesting signatures are monojet, mono Z, mono Higgs, and Z and Higgs bosons produced with a pair of charged leptons.

Motivated by experimental hints and theoretical frameworks indicating the existence of an extended Higgs sector, we explore the feasibility of detecting a 95 GeV light Higgs boson decaying into a diphoton within the minimal dilaton model at the 14 TeV LHC. Initially, we identify the correlations between the production cross section, decay branching ratios, and model parameters, e.g., the scalar mixing angle $\sin\theta_S$. Subsequently, we utilize Monte Carlo simulations to generate the signal of the light Higgs boson via the $pp \to t\bar{t}(s\to \gamma\gamma)$ process, along with the corresponding backgrounds. To effectively separate the signal from the dominant backgrounds $tt\gamma\gamma$, we employ a meticulous cut-based selection process. Ultimately, we find that with an integrated luminosity of $L = 3000 {{~\rm fb}^{-1}}$, the regions of $|\sin\theta_S|>0.2$ can be covered over the $3\sigma$ level.

The sign is determined by the hint for New Physics in CPV measurements in charmless B decays. The $4\times 4$ unitarity allows one to connect to all processes involving flavor. Fixing $V_{t'b}$, $V_{t's}$ and $V_{t'd}$ by $Z\to b\bar b$, $b\to s$ and $s\to d$ processes, we predict $D$ mixing to be close to the current bound. As a further corollary, we suggest that $A_{\rm CP}(B^+ \to J/\psi K^+)$ could be at 1% level or higher, where we give plausibility of an associated strong phase. Our predictions can be tested in the near future.

We propose a novel idea to detect a dark photon in gravitational wave experiments. Our setups are capable of performing the whole process of dark photon production, its decay products, and new physics signal discovery. This mini-LHC is inspired by the recent idea of dark photon detection using laser light in light shining through the wall (LSW) experiments such as ALPS II. Taking the subfrequency light emitted from the laser source as the new physics signal, we show that the sensitivity of our proposal is 2orders of magnitude better than the original idea in the LSW studies.

The $B-L$ MSSM is the MSSM with three right-handed neutrino chiral multiplets and gauged $B-L$ symmetry. The $B-L$ symmetry is broken by the third family right-handed sneutrino acquiring a VEV, thus spontaneously breaking $R$-parity. Within a natural range of soft supersymmetry breaking parameters, it is shown that a large and uncorrelated number of initial values satisfy all present phenomenological constraints; including the correct masses for the $W^{\pm}$, $Z^0$ bosons, having all sparticles exceeding their present lower bounds and giving the experimentally measured value for the Higgs boson. For this "valid" set of initial values, there are a number of different LSPs, each occurring a calculable number of times. We plot this statistically and determine that among the most prevalent LSPs are chargino and neutralino mass eigenstates. In this paper, the $R$-parity violating decay channels of charginos and neutralinos to standard model particles are determined, and the interaction vertices and decay rates computed analytically. These results are valid for any chargino and neutralino, regardless of whether or not they are the LSP. For chargino and neutralino LSPs, we will-- in a subsequent series of papers --present a numerical study of their RPV decays evaluated statistically over the range of associated valid initial points.

In the factorized picture of semi-inclusive hadronic processes the naive time reversal-odd parton distributions exist by virtue of the gauge link which renders it color gauge invariant. The link characterizes the dynamical effect of initial/final-state interactions of the active parton due soft gluon exchanges with the target remnant. Though these interactions are non-perturbative, studies of final-state interaction have been approximated by perturbative one-gluon approximation in Abelian models. We include higher-order contributions by applying non-perturbative eikonal methods incorporating color degrees of freedom in a calculation of the Boer-Mulders function of the pion. Using this framework we explore under what conditions the Boer Mulders function can be described in terms of factorization of final state interactions and a spatial distribution in impact parameter space.

We compute the complete next-to-leading order SUSY-QCD corrections for the associated production of a charged Higgs boson with a top quark via bottom-gluon fusion. We investigate the applicability of the bottom parton description in detail. The higher order corrections can be split into real and virtual corrections for a general two Higgs doublet model and into additional massive supersymmetric loop contributions. We find that the perturbative behavior is well under control. The supersymmetric contributions consist of the universal bottom Yukawa coupling corrections and non-factorizable diagrams. Over most of the relevant supersymmetric parameter space the Yukawa coupling corrections are sizeable, while the remaining supersymmetric loop contributions are negligible.

In models in which neutrinos are light, due to a low scale of symmetry breaking, additional light bosons are generically present. We show that the interaction between diffuse relic supernova neutrinos (RSN) and the cosmic background neutrinos, via exchange of these light scalars, can result in a dramatic change of the supernova (SN) neutrinos flux. Measurement of this effect with current or future experiments can provide a spectacular direct evidence for the low scale models. We demonstrate how the observation of neutrinos from SN1987A constrains the symmetry breaking scale of the above models. We also discuss how current and future experiments may confirm or further constrain the above models, either by detecting the ``accumulative resonance'' that diffuse RSN go through or via a large suppression of the flux of neutrinos from nearby < O(Mpc) SN bursts.

For active and sterile neutrinos, we present the globally allowed solutions for two neutrino oscillations. We include the SNO CC measurement and all other relevant solar neutrino and reactor data. Five active neutrino oscillation solutions (LMA, LOW, SMA, VAC, and Just So2) are currently allowed at 3 sigma; three sterile neutrino solutions (Just So2, SMA, and VAC) are allowed at 3 sigma. The goodness of fit is satisfactory for all eight solutions. We also investigate the robustness of the allowed solutions by carrying out global analyses with and without: 1) imposing solar model constraints on the 8B neutrino flux, 2) including the Super-Kamiokande spectral energy distribution and day-night data, 3) including a continuous mixture of active and sterile neutrinos, 4) using an enhanced CC cross section for deuterium (due to radiative corrections), and 5) a optimistic, hypothetical reduction by a factor of three of the error of the SNO CC rate. For every analysis strategy used in this paper, the most favored solutions all involve large mixing angles: LMA, LOW, or VAC. The favored solutions are robust, but the presence at 3 sigma of individual sterile solutions and the active Just So2 solution is sensitive to the analysis assumptions.

A future 100 TeV pp collider will explore energies much higher than the scale of electroweak (EW) symmetry breaking. In this paper we study some of the phenomenological consequences of this fact, concentrating on enhanced bremsstrahlung of EW gauge bosons. We survey a handful of possible new physics experimental searches one can pursue at a 100 TeV collider using this phenomenon. The most dramatic effect is the non-negligible radiation of EW gauge bosons from neutrinos, making them partly visible objects. The presence of collinear EW radiation allows for the full reconstruction of neutrinos under certain circumstances. We also show that the presence of EW radiation allows one to distinguish the $SU(2)$ quantum numbers of various new physics particles. We consider examples of two completely different new physics paradigms, additional gauge groups and SUSY, where the bremsstrahlung radiation of $W$ and $Z$ from $W'$s, $Z'$s or stops allows one to determine the couplings and the mixing angles of the new particles (respectively). Finally, we show how the emission of $W$s and $Z$s from high $p_T$ Higgs bosons can be used to test the couplings of new physics to the Higgs boson.

We investigate the phenomenology of a simplified model of flavoured Dark Matter (DM), with a dark fermionic flavour triplet coupling to the left-handed $SU(2)_L$ quark doublets via a scalar mediator. The DM-quark coupling matrix is assumed to constitute the only new source of flavour and CP violation, following the hypothesis of Dark Minimal Flavour Violation. We analyse the constraints from LHC searches, from meson mixing data in the $K$, $D$, and $B_{d,s}$ meson systems, from thermal DM freeze-out, and from direct detection experiments. Our combined analysis shows that while the experimental constraints are similar to the DMFV models with DM coupling to right-handed quarks, the multitude of couplings between DM and the SM quark sector resulting from the $SU(2)_L$ structure implies a richer phenomenology and significantly alters the resulting impact on the viable parameter space.

Within the context of first order phase transitions in the early universe, we study the influence of a coupling between the (global U(1)) scalar driving the transition and the rest of the matter content of the theory. The effect of the coupling on the scalar is simulated by introducing a damping term in its equations of motion, as suggested by recent results in the electroweak phase transition. After a preceeding paper, in which we studied the influence that this coupling has in the dynamics of bubble collisions and topological defect formation, we proceed in this paper to quantify the impact of this new effects on the probability of defect creation per nucleating bubble.

Although axion-like particles (ALPs) are popular dark matter candidates, their mass generation mechanisms as well as cosmic thermal evolutions are still unclear. In this letter, we propose a new mass generation mechanism of ALP during the electroweak phase transition in the presence of the type-II seesaw mechanism. As ALP gets mass uniquely at the electroweak scale, there is a cutoff scale on the ALP oscillation temperature irrelevant to the specific mass of ALP, which is a distinctive feature of this scenario. The ALP couples to the active neutrinos, leaving the matter effect of neutrino oscillations in a dense ALP environment as a smoking gun. As a by-product, the recent $W$-boson mass anomaly observed by the CDF collaboration is also quoted by the TeV-scale type-II seesaw. We explain three kinds of new physics phenomena are with one stroke.

We next derive a cross section for the semi-inclusive production of a polarized spin-1/2 baryon in the DIS of an unpolarized electron off the polarized nucleon.

In this contribution, we discuss the light charged Higgs boson production via $pp \to \bar{t} bH^\pm$ at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) in the Two-Higgs Doublet Model (2HDM) Type-III. We explore the prospect of looking the aforementioned Higgs boson production channel followed by $H^\pm\mu\nu$ signal. The latter has the potential to be overwhelmingly stronger than $H^\pm\tau\nu$ and $H^\pm c\bar{s}$ signals in Type-III. We show that in both scenarios standard and inverted hierarchy and after including several theoretical and experimental constraints, the production process $pp \to \bar{t}bH^\pm$ followed by $H^\pm\to \mu\nu$ could represent the most promising experimental option to search for light charged Higgs boson at the LHC.

With discovery of the Higgs boson, science has located the source for $\lesssim 2$% of the mass of visible matter. The focus of attention can now shift to the search for the origin of the remaining $\gtrsim 98$%. The instruments at work here must be capable of simultaneously generating the 1 GeV mass-scale associated with the nucleon and ensuring that this mass-scale is completely hidden in the chiral-limit pion. This hunt for an understanding of the emergence of hadronic mass (EHM) has actually been underway for many years. What is changing are the impacts of QCD-related theory, through the elucidation of clear signals for EHM in hadron observables, and the ability of modern and planned experimental facilities to access these observables. These developments are exemplified in a discussion of the evolving understanding of pion and kaon parton distributions.

Confronted with some surprising claims about experimentally measured or theoretically expected dependencies on the involved momentum transfer of various form factors of pseudoscalar mesons, we reassess the present status of these quantities by means of QCD sum rules. This approach provides well-developed and very efficient tools to relate in an analytical manner the parameters of QCD to the empirical properties of hadrons. Within this framework, we show that a few theoretical findings for the pion elastic form factor and one experimental result for the pion-to-photon transition form factor are at odds with rather general fundamental considerations.

Viable neutrino and charged lepton masses and mixings are obtained by imposing a $S_3 \times Z_4 \times Z_3$ flavor symmetry in a model with a few additional Higgs. We use two $SU(2)_L$ triplet Higgs which are arranged as a doublet of $S_3$, and standard model singlet Higgs which are also put as doublets of $S_3$. We break the $S_3$ symmetry in this minimal model by giving vacuum expectation values (VEV) to the additional Higgs fields. Dictated by the minimum condition for the scalar potential, we obtain certain VEV alignments which allow us to maintain $\mu-\tau$ symmetry in the neutrino sector, while breaking it maximally for the charged leptons. This helps us to simultaneously explain the hierarchical charged lepton masses, and the neutrino masses and mixings. In particular, we obtain maximal $\theta_{23}$ and zero $\theta_{13}$. We allow for a mild breaking of the $\mu-\tau$ symmetry for the neutrinos and study the phenomenology. We give predictions for $\theta_{13}$ and the CP violating Jarlskog invariant $J_{CP}$, as a function of the $\mu-\tau$ symmetry breaking parameter. We also discuss possible collider signatures and phenomenology associated with lepton flavor violating processes.

It has been proposed that there could be a mirror copy of the standard model particles, restoring the parity symmetry in the weak interaction on the global level. Oscillations between a neutral standard model particle, such as the neutron, and its mirror counterpart could potentially answer various standing issues in physics today. Astrophysical studies and terrestrial experiments led by ultracold neutron storage measurements have investigated neutron to mirror-neutron oscillations and imposed constraints on the theoretical parameters. Recently, further analysis of these ultracold neutron storage experiments has yielded statistically significant anomalous signals that may be interpreted as neutron to mirror-neutron oscillations, assuming nonzero mirror magnetic fields. The neutron electric dipole moment collaboration performed a dedicated search at the Paul Scherrer Institute and found no evidence of neutron to mirror-neutron oscillations. Thereby, the following new lower limits on the oscillation time were obtained: $\tau_{nn'} > 352~$s at $B'=0$ (95% C.L.), $\tau_{nn'} > 6~\text{s}$ for all $0.4~\mu\text{T}<B'<25.7~\mu\text{T}$ (95% C.L.), and $\tau_{nn'}/\sqrt{\cos\beta}>9~\text{s}$ for all $5.0~\mu\text{T}<B'<25.4~\mu\text{T}$ (95% C.L.), where $\beta$ is the fixed angle between the applied magnetic field and the local mirror magnetic field which is assumed to be bound to the Earth. These new constraints are the best measured so far around $B'\sim10~\mu$T, and $B'\sim20~\mu$T.

The convergence of the iterative solutions of the transport equations of cosmic muon and tau neutrinos propagating through Earth is studied and analyzed. For achieving a fast convergence of the iterative solutions of the coupled transport equations of nu_tau, nubar_tau and the associated tau^{\pm} fluxes, a new semi-analytic input algorithm is presented where the peculiar tau-decay contributions are implemented already in the initial zeroth order input. Furthermore, the common single transport equation for muon neutrinos is generalized by taking into account the contributions of secondary nu_mu and nubar_mu fluxes due to the prompt tau-decay tau -> nu_mu initiated by the associated tau flux. Differential and total nadir angle integrated upward-going mu^- + mu^+ event rates are presented for underground neutrino telescopes and compared with the muon rates initiated by the primary nu_mu, nu_tau and tau fluxes.

We discuss some aspects of a recently proposed semi-classical transport theory for QCD plasmas based on coloured point particles. This includes the derivation of effective transport equations for mean fields and fluctuations which relies on the Gibbs ensemble average. Correlators of fluctuations are interpreted as collision integrals for the effective Boltzmann equation. The approach yields a recipe to integrate-out fluctuations. Systematic approximations (first moment, second moment, polarisation approximation) based on a small plasma parameter are discussed as well. Finally, the application to a hot non-Abelian plasma close to thermal equilibrium is considered and the consistency with the fluctuation-dissipation theorem established.

We simplify the one-loop functional matching formalism to develop a streamlined prescription. The functional approach is conceptually appealing: all calculations are performed within the UV theory at the matching scale, and no prior determination of an Effective Field Theory (EFT) operator basis is required. Our prescription accommodates any relativistic UV theory that contains generic interactions (including derivative couplings) among scalar, fermion, and vector fields. As an example application, we match the singlet scalar extended Standard Model (SM) onto SMEFT.

The calculations are performed in the framework of a covariant confined quark model previously developed by us. We find that the values of the helicity amplitudes for the $\Lambda^\ast(1520,\,\frac32^-)$ and the $\Lambda^\ast(1890,\,\frac32^+)$ are suppressed compared with those for the ground state $\Lambda(1116,\,\frac12^+)$ and the excited state $\Lambda^\ast(1405,\,\frac12^-)$. This analysis is important for the identification of the hidden charm pentaquark states $P_c^+(4380)$ and $P_c^+(4450)$ which were discovered in the decay chain $\Lambda_b^0~\to~P_c^+(~\to~p~J/\psi)~+~K^- $ because the cascade decay chain $\Lambda_b~\to~\Lambda^\ast(\frac32^\pm)(~\to~pK^-)~+~J/\psi$ involves the same final state.
