A quantum field theoretic treatment of inclusive deep-inelastic diffractive scattering is given. The process can be described in the general framework of non-forward scattering processes using the light-cone expansion in the generalized Bjorken region. Evolution equations of the diffractive hadronic matrix elements are derived at the level of the twist-2 contributions and are compared to those of inclusive deep-inelastic forward scattering (DIS). The diffractive parton densities are obtained as projections of two-variable parton distributions. We also comment on the higher twist contributions in the light-cone expansion.

The CENNS-10 experiment of the COHERENT collaboration has recently reported the first detection of coherent-elastic neutrino-nucleus scattering (CEvNS) in liquid Argon with more than $3 \sigma$ significance. In this work, we exploit the new data in order to probe various interesting parameters which are of key importance to CEvNS within and beyond the Standard Model. A dedicated statistical analysis of these data shows that the current constraints are significantly improved in most cases. We derive a first measurement of the neutron rms charge radius of Argon, and also an improved determination of the weak mixing angle in the low energy regime. We also update the constraints on neutrino non-standard interactions, electromagnetic properties and light mediators with respect to those derived from the first COHERENT-CsI data.

We reexamine the transition magnetic moment solution to the solar neutrino problem. We argue that the absence of large time variations in the Super-Kamiokande rate provides strong evidence against spin-flavor flip in the solar convective zone. Spin-flavor flip could, however, occur in the primordial magnetic field in the radiative zone. We compute the longest lived toroidal mode for this field and show that spin-flavor flip in the radiative zone can account for all available solar data.

Neutralino can be the dark matter candidate in the gauge-mediated supersymmetry breaking models if the conformal sequestered mechanism is assumed in the hidden sector. In this paper, we study this mechanism by using the current experimental results after the run I of LHC and LUX. By adding new Yukawa couplings between the messenger fields and Higgs fields, we find that this mechanism can predict a neutralino dark matter with correct relic density and a Higgs boson with mass around 125 GeV. All our survived points have some common features. Firstly, the Higgs sector falls into the decoupling limit. So the properties of the light Higgs boson are similar to the predictions of the Standard Model one. Secondly, the correct EWSB hints a relatively small $\mu$-term, which makes the lightest neutralino lighter than the lightest stau. So a bino-higgsino dark matter with correct relic density can be achieved. And the relatively small $\mu$-term results in a small fine-tuning. Finally, this bino-higgsino dark matter can pass all current bounds, including both spin-independent and spin-dependent direct searches. The spin-independent cross section of our points can be examined by further experiments.

The basis of renormalon calculus is briefly discussed. The method is applied to study QCD predictions for three sum rules of deep-inelastic scattering, namely for the Gross-Llewellyn Smith, Bjorken polarized and unpolarized sum rules. It is shown that the renormalon structures of theses sum rules are closely related. These properties are giving us the hint that theoretical expressions of these three sum rules are similar both in the and non-perturbative sectors. Some phenomenological consequances of the new relations are discussed.

Both, the $e^+e^-$ and the $\gamma\gamma$ mode of the Linear Collider are analyzed. With a 500~GeV $e^+e^-$ collider, and an integrated luminosity of 50~--~80~fb$^{-1}$, one reaches the domain of precision measurements.

We investigate the QCD chiral phase transition at high baryon number density within the linear quark meson model for two flavors. The method we employ is based on an exact renormalization group equation for the free energy. Truncated nonperturbative flow equations are derived at nonzero chemical potential and temperature. Whereas the renormalization group flow leads to spontaneous chiral symmetry breaking in vacuum, we find a chiral symmetry restoring first order transition at high density. Combined with previous investigations at nonzero temperature, the result implies the presence of a tricritical point with long--range correlations in the phase diagram.

Energy Correlators measure the energy deposited in multiple detectors as a function of the angles between the detectors. In this paper, we analytically compute the three particle correlator in the collinear limit in QCD for quark and gluon jets, and also in $\mathcal{N}=4$ super Yang-Mills theory. We find an intriguing duality between the integrals for the energy correlators and infrared finite Feynman parameter integrals, which maps the angles of the correlators to dual momentum variables. In $\mathcal{N}=4$, we use this duality to express our result as a rational sum of simple Feynman integrals (triangles and boxes). In QCD our result is expressed as a sum of the same transcendental functions, but with more complicated rational functions of cross ratio variables as coefficients. Our results represent the first analytic calculation of a three-prong jet substructure observable of phenomenological relevance for the LHC, revealing unexplored simplicity in the energy flow of QCD jets. They also provide valuable data for improving the understanding of the light-ray operator product expansion.

We propose a chemical potential dependent effective gluon propagator and study the chiral quark condensate in strongly interacting matter in the framework of Dyson-Schwinger equation approach. The obtained results manifest that, as the effect of the chemical potential on the effective gluon propagator is taken into account, the chiral quark condensate decreases gradually with the increasing of the chemical potential if it is less than the critical value, and the condensate vanishes suddenly at the critical chemical potential. The inclusion of the chemical potential in the effective gluon propagator enhances the decreasing rate and decreases the critical chemical potential. It indicates that the chiral symmetry can be restored completely at a critical chemical potential and restored partially as the chemical potential is less than the critical value. If the effective gluon propagator is independent of the chemical potential, the chiral symmetry can only be restored suddenly but no gradual restoration.

Both Cabibbo allowed and doubly forbidden transitions contribute coherently to $D\rightarrow K_{S,L}+\pi 's$ decays. This leads to several intriguing and even quantitatively significant consequences, among them: (i) A difference between $\Gamma (D^+\rightarrow K_S \pi ^+)$ and $\Gamma (D^+\rightarrow K_L \pi ^+)$ and between $\Gamma (D^0\rightarrow K_S \pi ^0)$ and $\Gamma (D^0\rightarrow K_L \pi ^0)$ of roughly 10\% ; similarly $\Gamma (D^+\rightarrow [K_S\pi ^0]_{K^*} \pi ^+) \neq \frac{1}{4}\Gamma (D^+\rightarrow [K^-\pi ^+]_{K^*} \pi ^+)$, and more generally $\Gamma (D\rightarrow \bar K^0+\pi 's) \neq 2\Gamma (D\rightarrow K_S+\pi 's)$. (ii) A change in the relative phase between the isospin 3/2 and 1/2 amplitudes as extracted from the observed branching ratios for $D^+\rightarrow K_S\pi ^+$, $D^0\rightarrow K_S\pi ^0 ,\, K^-\pi ^+$. (iii) If New Physics intervenes to provide the required {\em weak} phase, then CP asymmetries of up to a few per cent can arise in $D^+\rightarrow K_S\pi ^+$ vs. $D^-\rightarrow K_S\pi ^-$, $D^0\rightarrow K_S\pi ^0$ vs. $\bar D^0\rightarrow K_S\pi ^0$, $D^+\rightarrow [K_S\pi ^0]_{K^*}\pi ^+$ vs. $D^-\rightarrow [K_S\pi ^0]_{K^*}\pi ^-$, etc.; an asymmetry of the same size, but opposite in sign occurs when the $K_S$ is replaced by a $K_L$ in the final state.

A gluino in the mass range 12--16 GeV combined with a light (2--5.5 GeV) bottom squark, as has been proposed recently to explain an excess of b quark hadroproduction, would affect the momentum-scale dependence (``running'') of the strong coupling constant alpha_s in such a way as to raise its value at M_Z by about 0.014 +/- 0.001. If one combines sources of uncertainty at low (m_b) and high (M_Z) mass scales, one can only distinguish such an effect at slightly more than the 2 sigma level. Prospects for improvement in this situation, which include better lattice QCD simulations and better measurements at M_Z, are discussed.

We present new lattice results of the ETM Collaboration, obtained from extensive simulations of lattice QCD with dynamical up, down, strange and charm quarks at physical mass values, different volumes and lattice spacings, concerning the SM prediction for the so-called intermediate window (W) and short-distance (SD) contributions to the leading order hadronic vacuum polarization (LO-HVP) term of the muon anomalous magnetic moment, $a_\mu$. Results for $a_{\mu}^{\rm LO-HVP,W}$ and $a_{\mu}^{\rm LO-HVP,SD}$, besides representing a step forward to a complete lattice computation of $a_{\mu}^{\rm LO-HVP}$ and a useful benchmark among lattice groups, are compared here with their dispersive counterparts based on experimental data for $e^+e^-$ into hadrons. The comparison confirms the tension in $a_{\mu}^{\rm LO-HVP,W}$, already noted in 2020 by the BMW Collaboration, while showing no tension in $a_{\mu}^{\rm LO-HVP,SD}$.

We present new lattice results of the ETM Collaboration, obtained from extensive simulations of lattice QCD with dynamical up, down, strange and charm quarks at physical mass values, different volumes and lattice spacings, concerning the SM prediction for the so-called intermediate window (W) and short-distance (SD) contributions to the leading order hadronic vacuum polarization (LO-HVP) term of the muon anomalous magnetic moment, $a_\mu$. Results for $a_{\mu}^{\rm LO-HVP,W}$ and $a_{\mu}^{\rm LO-HVP,SD}$, besides representing a step forward to a complete lattice computation of $a_{\mu}^{\rm LO-HVP}$ and a useful benchmark among lattice groups, are compared here with their dispersive counterparts based on experimental data for $e^+e^-$ into hadrons. The comparison confirms the tension in $a_{\mu}^{\rm LO-HVP,W}$, already noted in 2020 by the BMW Collaboration, while showing no tension in $a_{\mu}^{\rm LO-HVP,SD}$.

We explore semileptonic $B$ decays to the four lightest excited charm mesons, $D^{**} = \{D_0^*,\, D_1^*,$ $D_1,\, D_2^*\}$, for nonzero charged lepton mass and for all $b\to c \ell\bar\nu$ four-Fermi interactions, including calculation of the ${\cal O}(\Lambda_\text{QCD}/m_{c,b})$ and ${\cal O}(\alpha_s)$ corrections to the heavy quark limit for all form factors. In the heavy quark limit some form factors are suppressed at zero recoil, therefore, the ${\cal O}(\Lambda_\text{QCD}/m_{c,b})$ corrections can be very important. The $D^{**}$ rates exhibit sensitivities to new physics in $b\to c\tau\bar\nu$ mediated decays complementary to the $D$ and $D^*$ modes. Since they are also important backgrounds to $B\to D^{(*)}\tau\bar\nu$, the correct interpretation of future semitauonic $B\to D^{(*)}$ rate measurements requires consistent treatment of both the $D^{**}$ backgrounds and the signals. Our results allow more precise and more reliable calculations of these $B\to D^{**}\ell\bar\nu$ decays, and are systematically improvable by better data on the $e$ and $\mu$ modes. As an example, we show that the $D^{**}$ rates are more sensitive to a new $\bar c\, \sigma_{\mu\nu} b$ tensor interaction than the $D^{(*)}$ rates.

The measurement of the forward-backward asymmetry at LHC could be an important instrument to pinpoint the features of extra neutral gauge particles obtained by an extension of the gauge symmetry group of the standard model. For definitiveness, in this work we consider an extension of the gauge group of the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model by an extra anomalous U(1) gauge symmetry (MiAUMSSM). We focus on pp -> e+e- at LHC and use four different definitions of the asymmetry obtained implementing four different cuts on the directions and momenta of the final states of our process of interest. The calculations are performed without imposing constraints on the charges of the extra Z's of our model, since the anomaly is cancelled by a Green-Schwarz type mechanism. Our final result is a fit of our data with a polynomial in the charges from which to extract the values of the charges given the experimental result.

It allows automated computations of both cut-constructible {\it and} rational parts of one-loop scattering amplitudes from on-shell tree amplitudes. We illustrate the method by (re)-computing all four-, five- and six-gluon scattering amplitudes in QCD at one-loop.

Extension of the SM with one extra Higgs doublet may give rise to flavor-changing-scalar coupling of a neutral Higgs to a pair of top-charm quarks. This coupling gives rise to a large tree-level effective W^+W^-;ZZ - Higgs - t bar-c interaction. We find that the reactions e^+e^- --> t bar-c nu_e bar-nu_e, t bar-c e^+e^-, t bar-c Z and the two rare top decays t --> cW^+W^-, t --> cZZ are very sensitive probes of such an effective interaction. The most promising ones, e^+e^- --> t bar-c nu_e bar-nu_e, t bar-c e^+e^-, may yield several hundreds and up to thousands of such events at the Next Linear Collider with a center of mass energy of sqrt{s}=0.5-2 TeV if the mass of the light neutral Higgs is a few hundred GeV. We also find that the rare decays t --> cW^+W^- and t --> cZZ may be accessible in the LHC if the mass of the light neutral Higgs lies in the narrow window 150 GeV < m_h < 200 GeV.

In this study, predictions obtained in the four and in the five flavour schemes are compared for two important processes involving heavy flavours at the LHC: the production of a $Z$ or a Higgs boson in association with $b$ quarks. In particular we obtain predictions with \Sherpa's \MCatNLO implementation for the four--flavour scheme, treating the $b$'s as massive, and with multijet merging at leading and next-to leading order for the five--flavour scheme. While differences between the two schemes, at the inclusive level, are well understood from resummation of possibly large logs into the $b$-PDFs, differences in shape present a major problem for experimental measurements. We make use of data for $Z+b(\bar{b})$ production at the $7$ TeV LHC to exhibit strengths and weaknesses of the different approaches and we use these results to validate predictions for $b$-associated Higgs-boson production at the 13 TeV Run II.

We discuss the constraints on the mass of the lighter top squark from \bbbar\ mixing in the minimal supersymmetric standard model. A light top squark whose mass is less than half of the $Z^0$-boson mass has not yet been excluded from direct search experiments at LEP. However, the existence of the light top squark may exceedingly enhance \bbbar\ mixing, owing to the box diagrams exchanging the charginos and the up-type squarks. We show that for a sizable region of parameter space the light top squark contribution to \bbbar\ mixing becomes the same order of magnitude as the standard $W$-boson contribution. Taking into account the experimental results for \bbbar\ and \kkbar\ mixings, the existence of the light top squark is excluded in an appreciable region of the parameter space which LEP experiments have not ruled out.

We investigate the effect of anisotropies in the fermion velocities of 2+1 dimensional QED on the critical number N_f^c of fermions for dynamical mass generation. Our framework are the Dyson-Schwinger equations for the gauge boson and fermion propagators formulated in a finite volume. In contrast to previous Dyson-Schwinger studies we do not rely on an expansion in small anisotropies but keep the full velocity dependence of fermion equations intact. As result we find sizable variations of N_f^c away from the isotropic point in agreement with other approaches. We discuss the relevance of our findings for models of high-T_c superconductors.

The energy and time scales during the inflationary stage of the universe calls for an out of equilibrium quantum field treatment. Moreover, the high energy densities involved make necessary the use of non-perturbative approaches as large N and Hartree methods. We start these lectures by introducing such non-perturbative out of equilibrium methods in cosmological universes. We discuss the renormalization procedure and the choice of initial conditions. We then study the nonlinear dynamics of quantum fields in matter and radiation dominated FRW and de Sitter universes. For a variety of initial conditions, we compute the evolution of the inflaton,its quantum fluctuations and the equation of state. We investigate the explosive particle production due to spinodal unstabilities and parametric amplification in FRW and de Sitter universes with and without symmetry breaking.We find that the particle production is sensitive to the expansion of the universe.For symmetry breaking scenarios, we determine generic late time fields behavior for FRW and deSitter cosmologies.We find that quantum fluctuations damp in FRW as the square of the scale factor while the order parameter approaches a minimum of the potential at the same rate.We con- sider an O(N) inflaton model coupled self-consistently to gravity in the semi- classical approximation for a `new inflation' scenario. We find that spinodal instabilities drive the growth of non-perturbatively large quantum fluctuations which shut off inflation. These fluctuations assemble with the inflaton zero mode yielding a new effective field that actually rolls down behaving classi- cally. We compute the amplitude and index for scalar density and tensor perturbations. In all models of this type the spinodal instabilities produce a `red' spectrum of primordial scalar density perturbations.

A new idea for neutrino mass was proposed recently, where its smallness is not due to the seesaw mechanism, i.e. not inversely proportional to some large mass scale. It comes from a one-loop mechanism with dark matter in the loop consisting of singlet Majorana fermions $N_i$ with masses of order 10 keV and neutrino masses are scaled down from them by factors of about $10^{-5}$. We discuss how this model may be implemented with the non-Abelian discrete symmetry $A_4$ for neutrino mixing, and consider the phenomenology of $N_i$ as well as the extra scalar doublet $(\eta^+,\eta^0)$.

Experiments at a future $e^{+}e^{-}$ collider will be able to search for new particles with masses below the nominal centre-of-mass energy by analyzing collisions with initial-state radiation (radiative return). We show that machine learning methods that use imperfect or missing training labels can achieve sensitivity to generic new particle production in radiative return events.

Experiments at a future $e^{+}e^{-}$ collider will be able to search for new particles with masses below the nominal centre-of-mass energy by analyzing collisions with initial-state radiation (radiative return). We show that machine learning methods that use imperfect or missing training labels can achieve sensitivity to generic new particle production in radiative return events.

We derive the general resummed effective Lagrangian for Higgs-mediated flavour-changing neutral-current (FCNC) interactions in the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM), without resorting to particular assumptions that rely on the squark-mass or the quark-Yukawa structure of the theory. In our derivation we also include the possibility of explicit CP violation through the Cabibbo--Kobayashi--Maskawa mixing matrix and soft supersymmetry-breaking mass terms. The advantages of our resummed FCNC effective Lagrangian are explicitly demonstrated within the context of phenomenologically motivated scenarios. We obtain new testable predictions in the large $\tan\beta$ regime of the theory for CP-conserving and CP-violating observables related to the $K$- and $B$-meson systems, such as $\Delta M_{K,B}$, $\epsilon_K$, $\epsilon'/\epsilon$, ${\cal B}(B_{d,s} \to \ell^+\ell^-)$ and their associated leptonic CP asymmetries. Finally, based on our resummed FCNC effective Lagrangian, we can identify configurations in the soft supersymmetry-breaking parameter space, for which a kind of a Glashow--Iliopoulos--Maiani-cancellation mechanism becomes operative and hence all Higgs-mediated, $\tan\beta$-enhanced effects on $K$- and $B$-meson FCNC observables vanish.

In this paper we study the weak decays of $J/\psi$ and $\Upsilon(1S)$. Using the Bethe-Salpeter method, we calculate the hadronic transition amplitude and give the form factors. We find that two new form factors $h_1$ and $h_2$, which do not appear in existing literature, have contributions in $1^-\to 1^-$ decays. They affect the branching ratios of semi-leptonic and non-leptonic decays by the rate of $3\%\sim6\%$ and $2\%\sim14\%$, respectively, so their contributions can not be ignored and should be considered. Our results show that, for the semi-leptonic decay modes, the largest branching ratios are of the order of $10^{-10}$ both for $J/\psi$ and $\Upsilon(1S)$ decays, and the largest branching ratios of non-leptonic decays are of the order of $10^{-9}$ for $J/\psi$ and $10^{-10}$ for $\Upsilon(1S)$.

The stellar energy-loss rates $\mathcal{Q}$ due to the production of neutrino pair in the framework of 3-3-1 models are presented. The energy loss rate $\mathcal{Q}$ is evaluated for different values of $\beta=\pm\fr{1}{\sqrt{3}},\pm\fr{2}{\sqrt{3}},\pm\sqrt{3}$ in which $\beta$ is a parameter used to define the charge operator in the 3-3-1 models. The correction to the rate which is compared with that of the Standard Model ($\de \mathcal{Q}$) is also evaluated. We show that the correction does not exceed 14\% and %is gets the highest with $\beta=-\sqrt{3}$. The contribution of dipole moment to the energy loss rate is small compared to the contribution of new natural gauge boson $Z'$ and this sets constraints for the mass of Z' $m_{Z'} \leq 4000$ GeV. This mass range is within the searching range for $Z'$ boson at LHC.

Diffractive photoproduction of $\eta_c$ is an important process to study the effect of Odderon, whose existence is still not confirmed in experiment. A detailed interpretation of Odderon in QCD, i.e., in terms of gluons is also unclear.Taking charm quarks as heavy quarks, we can use NRQCD and take $\eta_c$ as a $c\bar c$ bound state. Hence, in the production of $\eta_c$a free $c\bar c$ pair is first produced and this pair is transformed into $\eta_c$ subsequently.In the forward region of the kinematics, the $c\bar c$ pair interacts with initial hadron through exchanges of soft gluons. This interaction can be studied with HQET, which provides a systematic expansion in the inverse of the $c$-quark mass $m_c$. We find that the calculation of the $S$-matrix element in the forward region can be formulated as the problem of solving a wave function of a $c$-quark propagating in a background field of soft gluons. At leading order we find that the differential cross-section can be expressed with four functions, which are defined with a twist-3 operator of gluons. The effect of exchanging a Odderon can be identified with this operator in our case. We discuss our results in detail and compare them with those obtained in previous studies. Our results and those from other studies show that the differential cross-section is very small in the forward region. We also show that the production through photon exchange is dominant in the extremely forward region, hence the effect of Odderon exchange can not be identified in this region.For completeness we also give results for diffractive photoproduction of $J/\Psi$.

The evolution kernels that govern the scale dependence of the generalized parton distributions are invariant under transformations of the $\mathrm{SL}(2,\mathrm R)$ collinear subgroup of the conformal group. Beyond one loop the symmetry generators, due to quantum effects, differ from the canonical ones. We construct the transformation which brings the {\it full} symmetry generators back to their canonical form and show that the eigenvalues (anomalous dimensions) of the new, canonically invariant, evolution kernel coincide with the so-called parity respecting anomalous dimensions. We develop an efficient method that allows one to restore an invariant kernel from the corresponding anomalous dimensions. As an example, the explicit expressions for NNLO invariant kernels for the twist two flavor-nonsinglet operators in QCD and for the planar part of the universal anomalous dimension in $ N=4$ SYM are presented.

We study bound-state effects on the pair production of gluinos at hadron colliders, in a context of the minimal supersymmetric extension of the standard model. Due to the expected large mass and the octet color-charge of gluinos, the bound-state effects can be substantial at the LHC. We find significant deformation of the invariant-mass distributions of a gluino-pair near the mass threshold, as well as an additional correction to the total cross-section. Both the invariant-mass distribution and the correction to the total cross section depend crucially on the decay width of the gluino.

The European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) has recently approved a world-unique QCD facility in which an updated version of the external M2 beam line of the CERN SPS in conjunction with a universal spectrometer of the COMPASS experiment is used. One of its main goals is to use highly intense and energetic kaon beams to map out the complete spectrum of excited kaons with an unprecedented precision; having a broad impact not only on low-energy QCD phenomenology, but also on many high-energy particle processes where excited kaons appear, such as the study of CP violation in heavy-meson decays studied at LHCb and Belle~II. In support of the experimental effort, the kaon spectrum is computed herein using a constituent quark model which has been successfully applied to a wide range of hadronic observables, from light to heavy quark sectors, and thus the model parameters are completely constrained. The model's prediction can be used as a template against which to compare the already collected data and future experimental findings, in order to distinguish between conventional and exotic kaon states. We also compare our results with those available in the literature in order to provide some general statements, common to all calculations.

We study the hadronic form factors of $\tau$ lepton decays $\tau \to K \pi(\eta) \nu$. We compute one loop corrections to the form factors using the chiral Lagrangian including vector mesons. The counterterms which subtract the divergence of the one-loop amplitudes are determined by using background field method. In the vector form factor, $K^\ast$ resonance behavior is reproduced because the diagram with a vector meson propagator is included. We fit the data of the hadronic invariant mass spectrum measured by Belle by determining some of the counterterms of the Lagrangian. Besides the hadronic invariant mass spectrum, the forward-backward asymmetry is predicted. We also study the effect of CP violation of a two Higgs doublet model. In the model, CP violation of the neutral Higgs sector generates the mixing of CP even Higgs and CP odd Higgs. We show how the mixing leads to the direct CP violation of the $\tau$ decays and predict the CP violation of the forward-backward asymmetry.

We extend the MSSM analysis to new benchmark scenarios that are in agreement with the cold dark matter relic abundance and other precision measurements. We analyse the exclusive production of Higgs bosons in a model with a fourth generation of fermions.

The irreducible upscattering of cold dark matter by cosmic rays opens up the intriguing possibility of detecting even light dark matter in conventional direct detection experiments or underground neutrino detectors. The mechanism also significantly enhances sensitivity to models with very large nuclear scattering rates, where the atmosphere and rock overburden efficiently stop standard non-relativistic dark matter particles before they could reach the detector. In this article, we demonstrate that cosmic-ray upscattering essentially closes the window for strongly interacting dark matter in the (sub-)GeV mass range. Arriving at this conclusion crucially requires a detailed treatment of both nuclear form factors and inelastic dark matter-nucleus scattering, as well as including the full momentum-transfer dependence of scattering amplitudes. We illustrate the latter point by considering three generic situations where such a momentum-dependence is particularly relevant, namely for interactions dominated by the exchange of light vector or scalar mediators, respectively, and for dark matter particles of finite size. As a final concrete example, we apply our analysis to a putative hexaquark state, which has been suggested as a viable baryonic dark matter candidate. Once again, we find that the updated constraints derived in this work close a significant part of otherwise unconstrained parameter space.

We investigate the phenomenological implications of the recent $W$ mass measurement by the CDF collaboration, which exhibits tension with the standard model (SM) electroweak fit. Performing the fit to the electroweak observables within the SM effective field theory, we find that the new physics that contributes either to the determination of the electroweak vacuum expectation value, or to the oblique parameters, can improve the agreement with data. The best description is obtained from a fit where flavor universality is not required in the new physics operators, with 2 to 3 $\sigma$ indications for several nonzero Wilson coefficients. We point out that top partners with order TeV masses could lead to the observed shift in the $W$ mass.

We propose an interpretation of the diboson excess recently observed by the ATLAS and CMS collaborations in terms of Kaluza-Klein excitations of electroweak gauge bosons stemming from a realization of a warped extra-dimensional model that is protected by a custodial symmetry. Besides accounting for the LHC diboson data, this scenario also leads to an explanation of the anomalies that have been observed in the measurements of the forward-backward asymmetries for bottom quarks at LEP and top quarks at the Tevatron.

We study all implementations of the $S_3$ symmetry in the two Higgs doublet model with quarks, consistent with non-zero quark masses and a Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa (CKM) matrix which is not block diagonal. We study the impact of the various soft-breaking terms and vacuum expectation values, and find an interesting relation between $\alpha$ and $\beta$. We also show that, in this minimal setting, only two types of assignments are possible: either all field sectors are in singlets or all field sectors have a doublet.

All the constructions we used to find evaporation rate were dased on the fact that no fermions would move towards the Q ball. All these constructions left an opened question that is : what happens when a fermion interacts with a Q ball. We shall answer this question in this work by using the constructions done to compute evaporation rates. We shall also obtain a new approach to compute evaporation rates.

We estimate the Cronin effect in pA collisions at the CERN LHC and at RHIC, using a Glauber-Eikonal model of initial state multiparton interactions. For a correct determination of the initial parton flux, we upgrade the model cross section, taking carefully into account all kinematical constraints of each multi-parton interaction process. As compared with previous results, derived with approximate kinematics, we obtain a softer spectrum of produced partons, while improving the agreement of the model with the recent measurements of neutral pions production in d+Au collisions at sqrt(s)=200 AGeV.

We evolve virtual photon parton densities up to the SUSY threshold and higher using coupled inhomogeneous DGLAP differential equations. Reliable input parameterizations were available from the c-quark threshold. Limited $P^2$ ( target photon virtuality ) dependence is observed. The difference to the photon structure function is shown to be significant with the introduction of SUSY dependent splitting functions. A negligible difference is observed by letting the gluino mass enter after the squark mass. An effort is made to include the squark threshold effect in such a way that both the renormalization group equations are satisfied and the perturbative calculation is reproduced.

I discuss the recent attempts to build an effective chiral Lagrangian incorporating massive resonance states. A useful approximation scheme to organize the resonance Lagrangian is provided by the large-Nc limit of QCD. Integrating out the resonance fields, one recovers the usual chiral perturbation theory Lagrangian with explicit values for the low-energy constants, parameterized in terms of resonance masses and couplings. The resonance chiral theory generates Green functions that interpolate between QCD and chiral perturbation theory. Analyzing these Green functions, both for large and small momenta, one gets QCD constraints on the resonance couplings and, therefore, information on the low-energy constants governing the Goldstone interactions.

The axion mass receives a large correction from small instantons if the QCD gets strongly coupled at high energies. We discuss the size of the new CP violating phases caused by the fact that the small instantons are sensitive to the UV physics. We also discuss the effects of the mass correction on the axion abundance of the Universe. Taking the small-instanton contributions into account, we propose a natural scenario of axion dark matter where the axion decay constant is as large as $10^{15\text{-}16}$GeV. The scenario works in the high-scale inflation models.

We show how each corresponds to a different limit of the same class of models: hidden sectors with non-abelian gauge groups with mass gaps well below a TeV that communicate to the Standard Model through weak scale suppressed higher dimension operators. We provide concrete examples of such models and discuss LHC signatures. Lastly we turn to discussing the application of Hidden Valleys to dark matter sectors.

We analyze the leptonic sector in the left-right symmetric model dressed with a $(Z_{2})^{3}$ discrete symmetry which realizes, after weak spontaneous breaking, a small broken $\mu\lra\tau$ symmetry that is suggested to explain observable neutrino oscillation data. $\mu\lra\tau$ symmetry is broken at tree level in the effective neutrino mass matrix due to the mass difference $\widetilde{m}_{\tau}\neq \widetilde{m}_{\mu}$ in the diagonal Dirac mass terms, whereas all lepton mixings arise from a Majorana mass matrix. In the limit of a small breaking we determined $\theta_{13}$, and the deviation from the maximal value of $\theta_{ATM}$, in terms of the light neutrino hierarchy scale, $m_{3}$, and a single free parameter $h_{s}$ of the model.

Symmetry transformations have been proven a bedrock tool for understanding the nature of particle interactions, formulating and testing fundamental theories. Based on the up to now unbroken CPT symmetry, the violation of the CP symmetry between matter and antimatter by weak interactions, discovered in the decay of kaons in 1964 and observed more recently in 2001 in B mesons, strongly suggests that the behavior of these particles under weak interactions must also be asymmetric under time reversal T. However, until the recent years there has not been a direct detection of the expected time-reversal violation in the time evolution of any system. This Colloquium examines the field of time-reversal symmetry breaking in the fundamental laws of physics. For transitions, its observation requires an asymmetry with exchange of initial and final states. We discuss the conceptual basis for such an exchange with unstable particles, using the quantum properties of Einstein Podolsky-Rosen (EPR) entanglement available at B meson factories combined with the decay as a filtering measurement. The method allows a clear-cut separation of different transitions between flavor and CP eigenstates in the decay of neutral B mesons. These ideas have been implemented for the experiment by the BaBar Collaboration at SLAC's B factory. The results, presented in 2012, prove beyond any doubt the violation of time-reversal invariance in the time evolution between these two states of the neutral B meson.

Symmetry transformations have been proven a bedrock tool for understanding the nature of particle interactions, formulating and testing fundamental theories. Based on the up to now unbroken CPT symmetry, the violation of the CP symmetry between matter and antimatter by weak interactions, discovered in the decay of kaons in 1964 and observed more recently in 2001 in B mesons, strongly suggests that the behavior of these particles under weak interactions must also be asymmetric under time reversal T. However, until the recent years there has not been a direct detection of the expected time-reversal violation in the time evolution of any system. This Colloquium examines the field of time-reversal symmetry breaking in the fundamental laws of physics. For transitions, its observation requires an asymmetry with exchange of initial and final states. We discuss the conceptual basis for such an exchange with unstable particles, using the quantum properties of Einstein Podolsky-Rosen (EPR) entanglement available at B meson factories combined with the decay as a filtering measurement. The method allows a clear-cut separation of different transitions between flavor and CP eigenstates in the decay of neutral B mesons. These ideas have been implemented for the experiment by the BaBar Collaboration at SLAC's B factory. The results, presented in 2012, prove beyond any doubt the violation of time-reversal invariance in the time evolution between these two states of the neutral B meson.

Gauge theories induced by scalars in the fundamental representation of the $U(N_c)_{gauge}\times U(N_f)_{global}$ group are investigated in the large $N_c$ and $N_f$ limit. A master field is defined from bilinears of the scalar field following an Eguchi-Kawai type reduction of spacetime. The density function for the master field satisfies an integral equation that can be solved exactly in two dimensions (D=2) and in a convergent series of approximations at $D>2$. While at D=2 the system is in the same phase at all $\epsilon=N_c/N_f$, it undergoes a phase transition at a critical value, $\epsilon_c(D)$, for $D>2$.

We take a few steps towards constructing a string-inspired nonlocal extension of the Standard Model. We start by illustrating how quantum loop calculations can be performed in nonlocal scalar field theory. In particular, we show the potential to address the hierarchy problem in the nonlocal framework. Next, we construct a nonlocal abelian gauge model and derive modifications of the gauge interaction vertex and field propagators. We apply the modifications to a toy version of the nonlocal Standard Model and investigate collider phenomenology. We find the lower bound on the scale of non-locality from the 8 TeV LHC data to be $2.5-3$ TeV.

A global previous analysis of two-body nonleptonic decays of $D$ mesons has been extended to the decays involving light scalar mesons. The allowance for final state interaction also in nonresonant channels provides a fit of much improved quality and with less symmetry breaking in the axial charges. We give predictions for about 50 decay branching ratios yet to be measured. We also discuss long distance contributions to the difference $\Delta \Gamma$ between the $D_S$ and $D_L$ widths.

Constraints on the t-dependence of the hadronic scattering amplitude at asymptotic energies are derived by considering the exchange of the Pomeron, as a Regge pole, between off-shell gluons. Covariant reggeization ensures pure spin alpha exchange, where alpha is the Regge trajectory of the Pomeron. The structure of the amplitude, as a function of t, has been derived without a specific choice for the partonic wave functions of the hadrons. New terms appear, with respect to the standard approach, and allow to describe non trivial properties of the diffraction cone in agreement with experimental data, as shown in a specific example.

We describe the implementation of the combined QCD+QED evolution in the NNPDF framework. We then provide a first determination of the full set of PDFs based on deep-inelastic scattering data and LHC data for W and Z/gamma* Drell-Yan production, using leading-order QED and NLO or NNLO QCD. We compare the ensuing NNPDF2.3QED PDF set to the older MRST2004QED set. We perform a preliminary investigation of the phenomenological implications of NNPDF2.3QED: specifically, photon-induced corrections to direct photon production at HERA, and high-mass dilepton and W pair production at the LHC.

As a toy model for QED in strong background fields, we consider the impact of back-reaction and loop effects on scattering processes in quantum optics. We show that neglecting back-reaction misses qualitative and quantitative features of strong-field physics. We are able to study an analogue of the Narozhny-Ritus conjecture on the scaling of higher loop diagrams with intensity: we prove that there is no corresponding behaviour in our model. Implications for QED are identified and discussed.

We calculate the fraction of B^8 solar neutrinos that arrive at the Earth as a nu_2 mass eigenstate as a function of the neutrino energy. Weighting this fraction with the B^8 neutrino energy spectrum and the energy dependence of the cross section for the charged current interaction on deuteron with a threshold on the kinetic energy of the recoil electrons of 5.5 MeV, we find that the integrated weighted fraction of nu_2's to be 91 \pm 2 % at the 95% CL. This energy weighting procedure corresponds to the charged current response of the Sudbury Neutrino Observatory (SNO). We have used SNO's current best fit values for the solar mass squared difference and the mixing angle, obtained by combining the data from all solar neutrino experiments and the reactor data from KamLAND. The uncertainty on the nu_2 fraction comes primarily from the uncertainty on the solar delta m^2 rather than from the uncertainty on the solar mixing angle or the Standard Solar Model. Similar results for the Super-Kamiokande experiment are also given. We extend this analysis to three neutrinos and discuss how to extract the modulus of the Maki-Nakagawa-Sakata mixing matrix element U_{e2} as well as place a lower bound on the electron number density in the solar B^8 neutrino production region.

We consider associated production of dark matter with single top quark, in a simplified dark matter model with spin-0 mediators. The produced top quark is polarized and the polarization depends on the CP of the mediator. We calculate both the cross-section and top polarization for these processes. We compute angular asymmetries which demonstrate the difference between the polarization expected for the scalar or pseudoscalar mediator. Both the cross section and top polarization are sensitive to the CP property of the mediator, depending on the mediator mass. We find that these polarization asymmetries add value to the determination of the CP property of the mediator particularly in the case of a state with indeterminate CP.

We investigate high scale boundary conditions on the quartic Higgs-couplings and their $\beta$-functions in the Type-II Two Higgs Doublet Model and the Inert Doublet Model. These conditions are associated with two possible UV physics scenarios: the Multiple Point Principle, in which the potential exhibits a second minimum at $M_{Pl}$, and Asymptotic Safety, where the scalar couplings run towards an interacting UV fixed point at high scales. We employ renormalisation group running at two-loops and apply theoretical and experimental constraints to their parameter spaces. We find neither model can simultaneously accommodate the MPP whilst also providing realistic masses for both the Higgs and the top quark. However, we do find regions of parameter space compatible with Asymptotic Safety.

Meson properties are considered within a U(3)\times U(3) Linear Sigma Model(LSM). The importance of the U_A(1)-breaking term and the OZI rule violating term in the generation of meson masses and mixing angles is stressed. The LSM parameters are fitted to the pseudoscalar meson spectrum thus giving predictions for scalar meson properties. The model predicts a scalar meson nonet whose members are: {\sigma(\approx 400), f_0(980), \kappa(\approx 900) and a_0(980)} resonances. Scalar meson mixing angle (in the {|ns>, |s>} basis) is predicted to be \phi_S\approx -14^\circ. Therefore the f_0(980) is predominantly strange while the \sigma(\approx 400) is mostly non-strange. The model also gives a pseudoscalar mixing angle \phi_P\approx 35^\circ which corresponds to \theta_P \approx -19^\circ in the singlet-octet basis. Comparison with chiral perturbation theory shows that L_8 is saturated by scalar mesons exchange. However, LSM predicts that L_5 is not saturated by scalar mesons exchange as assumed in the literature.

We present the results of our QCD analysis of the recent CCFR data for the structure function $xF_3 (x,Q^2)$ of the deep-inelastic neutrino--nucleon scattering. The analysis is based on the Jacobi polynomials expansion of the structure functions. The concrete results for the parameter $\Lambda_{\overline {MS}}^{(4)}$ and the shape of quark distributions are determined. At the reference scale $|Q_0^2|$=3 $GeV^2$ our results are in satisfactory agreement with the ones obtained by the CCFR group with the help of another method. The $Q_0^{2}$-dependence of the experimental data for the Gross--Llewellyn Smith sum rule is extracted in the wide region of high-momentum transfer. Within systematical experimental uncertainties the results obtained are consistent with the perturbative QCD predictions. We reveal the effect of the discrepancy between our results and the analysed perturbative QCD predictions at the level of the statistical error bars. The importance of taking account, in our procedure, of a still unknown next-next-to-leading approximation of the moments of the structure function $xF_3 (x,Q^2)$ is stressed.

We study the one-loop effective potential induced from quantum fluctuation of a finite number of fields. A series expansion in terms of the modified Bessel functions is useful to evaluate the one-loop effective potential. We find that at most $N-2$ scalars parameterize the one-loop finite potential and the explicit parameterization is shown. The structure of the potential for N=4 is investigated as the simplest case. The implication of the model is discussed.

We study the one-loop effective potential induced from quantum fluctuation of a finite number of fields. A series expansion in terms of the modified Bessel functions is useful to evaluate the one-loop effective potential. We find that at most $N-2$ scalars parameterize the one-loop finite potential and the explicit parameterization is shown. The structure of the potential for N=4 is investigated as the simplest case. The implication of the model is discussed.

We analyze the WW scattering in scenarios of dynamical electroweak symmetry breaking of walking technicolor type. We show that in these theories there are regions of the parameters space allowed by the electroweak precision data, in which unitarity violation is delayed at tree level up to around 3-4 TeV without the inclusion of any sub-TeV resonances.

We generalize the large N_c Di Vecchia-Veneziano-Witten (VVW) effective chiral Lagrangian to the case of finite N_c by constructing the anomalous effective Lagrangian for QCD. The latter is similar to its SUSY counterpart, and has a holomorphic structure. The VVW construction is then recovered, along with 1/N_c corrections, after integrating out the heavy "glueball" fields. A new mass formula for eta' meson in terms of QCD condensates is obtained. The picture of theta dependence in QCD for finite N_c is more complicated than the one predicted by the large N_c approach.

Cross sections are calculated for many electroweak and beyond the Standard Model processes. Selection strategies based on photon interaction tagging techniques are studied. Assuming a typical LHC multipurpose detector, various signals and their irreducible backgrounds are presented after applying acceptance cuts. Prospects are discussed for the Higgs boson search, detection of supersymmetric particles and of anomalous quartic gauge couplings, as well as for the top quark physics.

We employ an Einstein-Maxwell-Dilaton (EMD) holographic model, which is known to be in good agreement with lattice results for the QCD equation of state with $(2+1)$ flavors and physical quark masses, to investigate the temperature and baryon chemical potential dependence of the susceptibilities, conductivities, and diffusion coefficients associated with baryon, electric, and strangeness conserved charges. We also determine how the bulk and shear viscosities of the plasma vary in the plane of temperature and baryon chemical potential. The diffusion of conserved charges and the hydrodynamic viscosities in a baryon rich quark-gluon plasma are found to be suppressed with respect to the zero net baryon case. The transition temperatures associated with equilibrium and non-equilibrium quantities are determined as a function of the baryon chemical potential for the first time. Because of the crossover nature of the QCD phase transition even at moderately large values of the chemical potential, we find that the transition temperatures associated with different quantities are spread in the interval between $130-200$ MeV and they all decrease with increasing baryon chemical potential.

If the scalar tau $\stau$ is the next lightest supersymmetric particle and decays into a gravitino ($\gravitino$) being the lightest supersymmetric particle, it will have generally a very long lifetime. In this paper, we investigate the possibility to study the decay of such a long lived scalar tau at the LHC. If we can add to the present LHC experiments additional detectors which are able to stop the stau particles and measure the produced decay products, the decay characteristics can be studied precisely at the LHC. We identify a maximum "stopper detector" that could be added in the CMS cavern, and estimate the sensitivity to the lifetime of the stau and to the mass of gravitino with this detector. The decay of the scalar tau may be significantly modified if the decay channel to the axino $\axino$ is open. We study the possibility to distinguish such decays from decays into gravitinos by measuring the process $\stau\to \axino (\gravitino) \tau \gamma$ using the stopper detector.

Setting the Renormalization Scale in pQCD: Comparisons of the Principle of Maximum Conformality with the Sequential Extended Brodsky-Lepage-Mackenzie Approach

A key problem in making precise perturbative QCD (pQCD) predictions is how to set the renormalization scale of the running coupling unambiguously at each finite order. The elimination of the uncertainty in setting the renormalization scale in pQCD will greatly increase the precision of collider tests of the Standard Model and the sensitivity to new phenomena. Renormalization group invariance requires that predictions for observables must also be independent on the choice of the renormalization scheme. The well-known Brodsky-Lepage-Mackenzie (BLM) approach cannot be easily extended beyond next-to-next-to-leading order of pQCD. Several suggestions have been proposed to extend the BLM approach to all-orders. In this paper we discuss two distinct methods. One is based on the "Principle of Maximum Conformality" (PMC), which provides a systematic all-orders method to eliminate the scale- and scheme- ambiguities of pQCD. The PMC extends the BLM procedure to all orders using renormalization group methods; as an outcome, it significantly improves the pQCD convergence by eliminating renormalon divergences. An alternative method is the "sequential extended BLM" (seBLM) approach, which has been primarily designed to improve the convergence of pQCD series. The seBLM, as originally proposed, introduces auxiliary fields and follows the pattern of the $\beta_0$-expansion to fix the renormalization scale. However, the seBLM requires a recomputation of pQCD amplitudes including the auxiliary fields; due to the limited availability of calculations using these auxiliary fields, the seBLM has only been applied to a few processes at low-orders......

I review several topics in electroproduction which test fundamental aspects of QCD. These include the role of final-state interactions in producing diffractive leptoproduction processes, the shadowing of nuclear structure functions, and target-spin asymmetries. The antishadowing of nuclear structure functions is shown to be quark-flavor specific, suggesting that some part of the anomalous NuTeV result for $\sin^2\theta_W$ could be due to the non-universality of nuclear antishadowing for charged and neutral currents. I also discuss the physics of the heavy-quark sea, hidden color in nuclear wavefunctions, and evidence for color transparency for nuclear processes. The AdS/CFT correspondence connecting superstring theory to superconformal gauge theory has important implications for hadron phenomenology in the conformal limit, including an all-orders demonstration of counting rules for hard exclusive processes, as well as determining essential aspects of hadronic light-front wavefunctions.

For a system of current interest (composed of charm, anticharm quarks and a pair of light ones), we show trends in phenomenological implications of QCD-based improvements to a simple quark model treatment. We employ resonating group method to render this difficult four-body problem manageable. We use a quadratic confinement so as to be able to improve beyond the Born approximation. We report the position of the pole corresponding to $\bar{D}^{0}D^{0*}$ molecule for the best fit of a model parameter to the relevant QCD simulations. We point out the interesting possibility that the pole can be shifted to $3872$ MeV by introducing another parameter $I_{0}$ that changes the strength of the interaction in this one component of $X(3872)$. The revised value of this second parameter can guide future trends in modeling of the full exotic meson $X(3872)$. We also report the changes with $I_{0}$ in the $S$-wave spin averaged cross sections for $\bar{D}^{0}D^{0*}\longrightarrow\omega J/\psi$ and $\bar{D}^{0}D^{0*}\longrightarrow\rho J/\psi$. These cross sections are important regarding the study of QGP (quark gluon plasma).

We examine a framework with light new physics, which couples to the Standard Model only via neutrino mixing. Taking the hints from the short-baseline anomalies seriously and combining them with modern cosmological data and recent IceCube measurements, we obtain surprisingly effective constraints on the hidden force: keV $\lesssim M \lesssim0.3$ GeV for the mediator mass and $g_{h}>10^{-6}-10^{-3}$ for the coupling constant. Flavor equilibration between the hidden and active neutrinos can be delayed until temperatures of $\sim 1$ MeV, but not below $\sim 100$ keV. This scenario can be tested with next-generation Cosmic Microwave Background, IceCube, and oscillation experiments.

We discuss the predictions of perturbative QCD for angular flows of final state particles in two and three jet events including their cms energy and jet resolution (y_{cut}) dependence. The simple analytical formulae for gluon bremsstrahlung from primary partons, modified for gluon cascading, reproduce the main features of the experimental data well. For y_{cut}-selected events, the particle flow is derived from a superposition of colour dipoles in much the same way that photon radiation is derived from electric dipoles.

In the framework of relativistic ideal hydrodynamics, we study the production mechanism for vorticity and magnetic field in relativistic ideal fluids. It is demonstrated that in the uncharged fluids the thermal vorticity will always satisfy the Kelvin's theorem and the circulation must be conserved. However, in the charged fluids, the vorticity and magnetic field can be produced by the interaction between the entropy gradients and the fluid velocity gradients. Especially, in the multiple charged fluids, the vorticity and magnetic field can be produced by the interaction between the inhomogenous charge density ratio and the fluid velocity gradients even if the entropy distribution is homogeneous, which provides another mechanism for the production of vorticity and magnetic field in relativistic plasmas or in the early universe.

We write out the generic Dirac neutrino mass operator which possesses the Friedberg-Lee (FL) symmetry and find that its corresponding neutrino mass matrix is asymmetric. Following a simple way to break the FL symmetry, we calculate the neutrino mass eigenvalues and show that the resultant neutrino mixing pattern is nearly tri-bimaximal. Imposing the Hermitian condition on the neutrino mass matrix, we also show that the simplified ansatz is consistent with current experimental data and favors the normal neutrino mass hierarchy.

We perform a global fit using results of searches for electric dipole moments (EDM) of diamagnetic systems within the context of the minimal left-right symmetric model. In this way, we disentangle the new "left-right" electroweak and $\bar{\theta}$ contributions that cannot be separated using a single EDM system. Although the fit is done for a specific model, the approach can be applied to any particle physics model. Finally, we revisit the constraint on the $D$ coefficient in $\beta$-decay and find that current EDM bounds do not preclude observation of this T-violating effect in a possible next generation $\beta$-decay experiment.

We compute the upper bound on the mass of the lightest Higgs boson in the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model in a model-independent way, including leading (one-loop) and next-to-leading order (two-loop) radiative corrections. We find that (contrary to some recent claims) the two-loop corrections are negative with respect to the one-loop result and relatively small ($\simlt 3$\%). After defining physical (pole) top quark mass $M_t$, by including QCD self-energies, and physical Higgs mass $M_H$, by including the electroweak self-energies $\Pi\left(M_H^2\right)-\Pi(0)$, we obtain the upper limit on $M_H$ as a function of supersymmetric parameters. We include as supersymmetric parameters the scale of supersymmetry breaking $M_S$, the value of $\tan \beta$ and the mixing between stops $X_t= A_t + \mu \cot\beta$ (which is responsible for the threshold correction on the Higgs quartic coupling). Our results do not depend on further details of the supersymmetric model. In particular, for $M_S\leq 1$ TeV, maximal threshold effect $X_t^2=6M_S^2$ and any value of $\tan\beta$, we find $M_H\leq 140$ GeV for $M_t\leq 190$ GeV. In the particular scenario where the top is in its infrared fixed point we find $M_H\leq 86$ GeV for $M_t = 170$ GeV.

We perform explorative analyses of the 3D gluon content of the proton via a study of (un)polarized twist-2 gluon TMDs, calculated in a spectator model for the parent nucleon. Our approach encodes a flexible parametrization for the spectator-mass density, suited to describe both moderate and small-$x$ effects. All these prospective developments are relevant in the investigation of the gluon dynamics inside nucleons and nuclei, which constitutes one of the major goals of new-generation colliding machines, as the EIC, the HL-LHC and NICA.

We present the first fully differential next-to-leading order QCD calculation for lepton production in transversely polarized hadronic collisions, pp -> l X , where the lepton arises from the decay of an electroweak gauge boson. The calculation is implemented in the Monte-Carlo like code `CHE' that already includes the unpolarized and longitudinally polarized cross sections and may be readily used to perform a comparison to experimental data and to extract information on the related parton distributions. We analyze the perturbative stability of the cross-section and double spin asymmetry A_TT at RHIC kinematics. We find that the QCD corrections are non-negligible even at the level of asymmetries and that they strongly depend on the lepton kinematics. Furthermore, we present two scenarios for transversely polarized parton distributions, based on the de Florian-Sassot-Stratmann-Vogelsang (DSSV) set of longitudinally parton densities and fully evolved to NLO accuracy, that can be used for the evaluation of different observables involving transverse polarization.

Hypergeometric function method is proposed to calculate the scalar integrals of Feynman diagrams. For the scalar integral of three-loop vacuum diagram with four-propagator, we verify the equivalency of Feynman parametrization and the hypergeometric technique. The result can be described as generalized hypergeometric functions of triple variables. Based on the triple hypergeometric functions, we also establish the systems of homogeneous linear partial differential equations(PDEs) satisfied by the mentioned scalar integral. The continuation of the scalar integral from its convergent regions to whole kinematic domains can be made numerically through the system of homogeneous linear PDEs with the help of the element method.

In this work we directly fit the QCD dimensional transmutation parameter, ${\Lambda _{\overline {MS} }}$, to experimental data of Drell-Yan (DY) observables. For this purpose we first obtain the evolution of transverse momentum dependent parton distribution functions (TMDPDFs) up to the NNLO approximation based on Collins-Sopper-Sterman formalism. As is expecting the TMDPDFs are appearing at larger values of transvers momentum by increasing the energy scales and also the order of approximation. Then we calculate the cross section related to the TMDPDFs in the DY process. As a consequence of fitting to the E288 experimental data at center of mass energy $\sqrt{s}=23.8$ $GeV$, we obtain ${\Lambda _{\overline {MS} }} = 249 \pm 7 MeV$ corresponding to the renormalized coupling constant ${\alpha _s}(M_z^2) = 0.119 \pm 0.001$ which is within the acceptable range for this quantity. The results for DY cross section at different energy scales are in good agreement within the available data.

We discuss the possibility that in finite density QCD an anisotropic phase is realized. This case might arise for quarks with different chemical potential and/or different masses. In this phase crystalline structures may be formed. We consider this possibility and we describe, in the context of an effective lagrangian, the corresponding phonons as the Nambu-Goldstone bosons associated to the breaking of the space symmetries.

We derive the upper bounds on certain products of R-parity- and lepton-flavor-violating couplings from the decays of the neutral $B$ meson into two charged leptons. These modes of $B^0$ decays can constrain the product combinations of the couplings with one or more heavy generation indices. We find that most of these bounds are stronger than the previous ones.

We present an analysis of the nucleon strange sea extracted from a global Parton Distribution Function fit including the neutrino and anti-neutrino dimuon data by the CCFR and NuTeV collaborations, the inclusive charged lepton-nucleon Deep Inelastic Scattering and Drell-Yan data. The (anti-)neutrino induced dimuon analysis is constrained by the semi-leptonic charmed-hadron branching ratio $B_\mu=(8.8\pm0.5)%$, determined from the inclusive charmed hadron measurements performed by the FNAL-E531 and CHORUS neutrino emulsion experiments. Our analysis yields a strange sea suppression factor $\kappa(Q^2=20{\rm GeV}^2)=0.62\pm 0.04$, the most precise value available, an $x$-distribution of total strange sea that is slightly softer than the non-strange sea, and an asymmetry between strange and anti-strange quark distributions consistent with zero (integrated over $x$ it is equal to $0.0013 \pm 0.0009$ at $Q^2=20{\rm GeV}^2$).

We summarize a general formulation of particle propagation in fluctuating media, as applied to the description of neutrino propagation through the sun. It contains the familiar MSW effective hamiltonian, plus corrections which describe neutrino interactions with fluctuations in the medium. An estimate of the size of these corrections for a simple model of solar fluctuations is made, with the conclusion that they can produce surprisingly large effects since they grow with the correlation length of the fluctuation. For MSW oscillations, the leading effect for small fluctuations is to diminish the quality of the resonance, making the suppression of the ${}^7$Be neutrinos an experimental probe of fluctuations deep within the sun. Fluctuations can also provide an energy-independent suppression factor of $\hf$, away from the resonant region, even for small vacuum mixing angles. To be even potentially detectable, density fluctuations must be correlated on scales of hundreds of kilometres, and have amplitudes of a few percent or larger.

The process mu+ mu- --> H gamma, though small compared to the resonance process, could be observable at proposed muon colliders, given expected integrated luminosities. The apparently leading diagrams occur at tree-level, and are proportional to the Higgs-muon coupling. We show, however, that the one-loop contribution is comparable to the tree-level amplitude. Furthermore, the one-loop diagrams, unlike those at tree-level, could be greatly enhanced by possible anomalous Higgs-top quark or Higgs-gauge boson couplings. For a 500 GeV unpolarized muon collider, the total cross section for H-gamma associated production approaches 0.1 fb.

We survey the implications for new physics of the discrepancy between the LEP measurement of $R_b$ and its Standard Model prediction. Two broad classes of models are considered: ($i$) those in which new $Z\bbar b$ couplings arise at tree level, through $Z$ or $b$-quark mixing with new particles, and ($ii$) those in which new scalars and fermions alter the $Z \bbar b$ vertex at one loop. We keep our analysis as general as possible in order to systematically determine what kinds of features can produce corrections to $R_b$ of the right sign and magnitude. We are able to identify several successful mechanisms, which include most of those which have been recently been proposed in the literature, as well as some earlier proposals (\eg\ supersymmetric models). By seeing how such models appear as special cases of our general treatment we are able to shed light on the reason for, and the robustness of, their ability to explain $R_b$.

The Feynman-Schwinger representation is used to study the behavior of solutions of scalar QED in (2+1) dimensions. The limit of zero photon mass is seen to be smooth. The Bethe-Salpeter equation in the ladder approximation also exhibits this property. They clearly deviate from the behavior in the nonrelativistic limit. In a variational analysis we show that this difference can be attributed to retardation effects of relativistic origin.

The Feynman-Schwinger representation is used to study the behavior of solutions of scalar QED in (2+1) dimensions. The limit of zero photon mass is seen to be smooth. The Bethe-Salpeter equation in the ladder approximation also exhibits this property. They clearly deviate from the behavior in the nonrelativistic limit. In a variational analysis we show that this difference can be attributed to retardation effects of relativistic origin.

We study mixing and CP violation of three left-handed Majorana neutrinos in the limit of exactly degenerate masses, identify the weak-basis invariant relevant for CP violation and show that the leptonic mixing matrix is parametrized only by two angles and one phase. After the lifting of the degeneracy, this parametrization accommodates the present data on atmospheric and solar neutrinos, as well as double beta decay. Some of the leptonic mixing ansatze suggested in the literature correspond to special cases of this parametrization.

Some anomalies in the processes $b\to s\ell\ell$ ($\ell=\mu,e$) and $b\to c \ell\bar\nu_\ell$ ($\ell=\tau,\mu,e$), in particular in the observables $R_K$ and $R_{D^{(\ast)}}$, have been found by the BaBar, LHCb and Belle Collaborations, leading to a possible lepton flavor universality violation. If these anomalies were confirmed they would inevitably lead to physics beyond the Standard Model. In this paper we try to accommodate the present anomalies in an extra dimensional theory, solving the naturalness problem of the Standard Model by means of a warped metric with a strong conformality violation near the infra-red brane. The $R_K$ anomaly can be accommodated provided that the left-handed bottom quark and muon lepton have some degree of compositeness in the dual theory. The theory is consistent with all electroweak and flavor observables, and with all direct searches of Kaluza-Klein electroweak gauge bosons and gluons. The fermion spectrum, and fermion mixing angles, can be reproduced by mostly elementary right-handed bottom quarks, and tau and muon leptons. Moreover the $R_{D^{(\ast)}}$ anomaly requires a strong degree of compositeness for the left-handed tau leptons, which turns out to be in tension with experimental data on the $g_{\tau_L}^Z$ coupling, possibly unless some degree of fine-tuning is introduced in the fixing of the CKM matrix.

We compare different methods used for non-perturbative calculations in strongly interacting fermionic systems. Mean field theory often shows a basic ambiguity related to the possibility to perform Fierz transformations. The results may then depend strongly on an unphysical parameter which reflects the choice of the mean field, thus limiting the reliability. This ambiguity is absent for Schwinger-Dyson equations or fermionic renormalization group equations. Also renormalization group equations in a partially bosonized setting can overcome the Fierz ambiguity if the truncation is chosen appropriately. This is reassuring since the partially bosonized renormalization group approach constitutes a very promising basis for the explicit treatment of condensates and spontaneous symmetry breaking even for situations where the bosonic correlation length is large.

We investigate the effects of scalar and vector unparticles on top quark spin correlations via the process $e^{+}e^{-}\to t \bar{t}$. In addition to the Standard Model diagrams, there is a new contribution to top-antitop quark production process mediated by unparticle in the s-channel. It is shown that scalar and vector unparticle contribution leads to a considerable deviation of the top spin correlations from the Standard Model one.

TeV-scale supersymmetry was originally introduced to solve the hierarchy problem and therefore fix the electroweak (EW) scale in the presence of quantum corrections. Numerical methods testing the SUSY models often report a good likelihood L (or chi^2=-2ln L) to fit the data {\it including} the EW scale itself (m_Z^0) with a {\it simultaneously} large fine-tuning i.e. a large variation of this scale under a small variation of the SUSY parameters. We argue that this is inconsistent and we identify the origin of this problem. Our claim is that the likelihood (or chi^2) to fit the data that is usually reported in such models does not account for the chi^2 cost of fixing the EW scale. When this constraint is implemented, the likelihood (or chi^2) receives a significant correction (delta_chi^2) that worsens the current data fits of SUSY models. We estimate this correction for the models: constrained MSSM (CMSSM), models with non-universal gaugino masses (NUGM) or higgs soft masses (NUHM1, NUHM2), the NMSSM and the general NMSSM (GNMSSM). For a higgs mass m_h\approx 126 GeV, one finds that in these models (delta_chi^2)/ndf> 1.5 (approx 1 for GNMSSM), which violates the usual condition of a good fit (total chi^2/ndf approx 1) already before fitting observables other than the EW scale itself (ndf=number of degrees of freedom). This has (negative) implications for SUSY models and it is suggested that future data fits properly account for this effect, if one remains true to the original goal of SUSY. Since the expression of delta_chi^2 that emerges from our calculation depends on a familiar measure of fine-tuning, one concludes that EW fine-tuning is an intrinsic part of the likelihood to fit the data that includes the EW scale (m_Z^0).

Energy dependence of $\gamma^*p$ total cross section is considered. It is known from the HERA data that the cross section grows with energy, and the rate of growth is an increasing function of the virtuality $Q^2$ of the photon $\gamma^*$. This dependence can be explained in a simple and generic way by the Froissart bound. To implement this mechanism quantitatively a theory satisfying $s$-channel unitarity is required. This is achieved by computing the total cross section from the optical theorem, and the forward elastic amplitude from the phase shifts in the impact-parameter representation. A recipe to do so in perturbative QCD is discussed, together with an expose of the advantage to calculate the elastic amplitude via phase shift, rather than direct sum of all Feynman diagrams. A two-loop computation of phase shift and total cross section is presented, and compared with the HERA data with good agreements.
