In this paper we present the parton level Monte Carlo program TeVJet, a direct implementation of the dipole subtraction method for calculating jet cross sections in NLO QCD. It has been written so as to allow the inclusion of new processes in as straightforward a way as possible. The user must provide the usual ingredients for an NLO calculation and from these the process-independent parts required to make the phase space integrals finite in 4 dimensions are automatically generated. These integrals are then performed using Monte Carlo techniques. We present the results for a few example processes.

It is possible to determine a propapagator for heavy quarks to order 1/m in any covariant gauge, which applies universally to all quarks, by using the gauge technique. The leading behaviour is given by a _0F_2 function and the result is reliable in the infrared limit, accounting for soft-gluon corrections to the quark in internal loops.

We explore the gauge coupling relations and the unification scale in F-theory SU(5) GUT broken down to the Standard Model by an internal U(1)Y gauge flux. We consider variants with exotic matter representations which may appear in these constructions and investigate their role in the effective field theory model. We make a detailed investigation on the conditions imposed on the extraneous matter to raise the unification scale and make the color triplets heavy in order to avoid fast proton decay. We also discuss in brief the implications on the gaugino masses.

On general grounds based on quantum field theory the decay amplitude for $\Sigma^0 \to \Lambda \gamma$ consists of a parity conserving magnetic and a parity violating electric dipole transition moment. Because of the subsequent self-analyzing weak decay of the $\Lambda$ hyperon the interference between magnetic and electric dipole transition moment leads to an asymmetry in the angular distribution. Comparing the decay distributions for the $\Sigma^0$ hyperon and its antiparticle gives access to possible C and CP violation. Based on flavor SU(3) symmetry the present upper limit on the neutron electric dipole moment can be translated to an upper limit for the angular asymmetry. It turns out to be far below any experimental resolution that one can expect in the foreseeable future. Thus any true observation of a CP violating angular asymmetry would constitute physics beyond the standard model, even if extended by a CP violating QCD theta-vacuum-angle term.

One of the challenging tasks at future experiments is the clear identification of the underlying new physics model. In this study we concentrate on the distinction between different supersymmetric models, the MSSM and the NMSSM, exploring the gaugino/higgsino sector as an alternative to the Higgs sector. Under the assumption that only the light chargino and neutralino masses and polarized cross sections $e^+e^-\to \tilde{\chi}^0_i\tilde{\chi}^0_j$, $\tilde{\chi}^+_i\tilde{\chi}^-_j$ have been measured, we perform a fit of the fundamental MSSM parameters $M_1$, $M_2$, $\mu$ and $\tan\beta$ and study whether a model distinction is possible. We focus here on the challenging cases of scenarios with a relatively heavy singlino and address two classes of neutralino mixing, $\tilde{\chi}^0_1\sim$higgsino-like versus $\tilde{\chi}^0_1\sim$gaugino-like.

The electromagnetic nucleon form factors provide constraints on generalized quark distributions. Key results of the study presented here are a strong dependence of the average impact parameter of quarks on their longitudinal momentum fraction, a striking difference in the t dependence of u and d quark contributions to elastic form factors, and an estimate of the orbital angular momentum carried by valence quarks in the nucleon.

Many neutrino mass models postulate the existence of at least two extra fermions in order to account for the measured solar and atmospheric mass splittings. In these models, however, the predicted hierarchy between the two mass splittings is generically much larger than the observed one, unless extra flavor symmetries are introduced. We present in this letter a radiative neutrino mass model consisting of the Standard Model extended by one heavy fermionic singlet and two scalars which predicts, under very general conditions, a neutrino mass hierarchy in qualitative agreement with the experimental value.

We study the phenomenology of a Z'-boson field coupled to hypercharge. The Z' propagator has a non-trivial K\"all\'en-Lehmann spectral density due to the mixing with a higher dimensional inert vector field. As a consequence detection possibilities at hadron colliders are reduced. We determine the range of parameters where this field can be studied at the Tevatron and the LHC through its production cross section via the Drell-Yan mechanism.

We study discovery prospects for long-lived sterile neutrinos at the LHC with multitrack displaced vertices, with masses below the electroweak scale. We reinterpret current displaced vertex searches making use of publicly available, parametrized selection efficiencies for modeling the detector response to displaced vertices. We focus on production of right-handed $W_{R}$ bosons and neutrinos $N$ in a left-right symmetric model, and find poor sensitivity. After proposing a different trigger strategy (considering the prompt lepton accompanying the neutrino displaced vertex) and optimized cuts in the invariant mass and track multiplicity of the vertex, we find that the LHC with $\sqrt{s}=13$ TeV and 300 fb$^{-1}$ is able to probe sterile neutrino masses between $10\hspace{0.1cm}\mbox{GeV}<m_{N}<20$ GeV (for a right-handed gauge boson mass of $2\hspace{0.1cm}\mbox{TeV}<m_{W_{R}}<3.5$ TeV). To probe higher masses up to $m_{N}\sim 30$ GeV and $m_{W_{R}}<5$ TeV, 3000 fb$^{-1}$ will be needed. This work joins other efforts in motivating dedicated experimental searches to target this low sterile neutrino mass region.

For the first time, we systematically investigate the potential of neutrino-nucleus neutral current interactions with $^{13}$C to identify the origin of the 5 MeV bump observed in reactor anti-neutrino spectra in the inverse beta decay process. The distinctive signal is obtained from the de-excitation of $^{13}$C$^*$ into the ground state emitting a 3.685 MeV photon in various liquid scintillator detectors. Such an interaction predominantly occurs for the reactor anti-neutrinos within the energy range coinciding with the 5 MeV bump. For a detector that has a capability of 95\% level photon and electron separation and small thorium contamination below $5 \times 10^{-17}$ gr/gr located in a site with an overburden of about a few hundred m.w.e, such as the location of near detectors of RENO and Daya Bay will have a great sensitivity to resolve the 5 MeV bump. In addition, we propose a novel approach to track the time evolution of reactor isotopes by analyzing our $^{13}$C signal shedding light on the contributions from $^{235}$U or $^{239}$Pu to the observed bump. This provides an extra powerful tool in both discriminating the flux models and testing any new physics possibilities for the 5 MeV bump at 3$\sigma$ to 5$\sigma$ level with much less systematic uncertainties and assuming 10 kt.year of data collection. Our detector requirements are realistic, aligning well with recent studies conducted for existing or forthcoming experiments.

Theoretically, some works have proposed the hadronic resonances $\Sigma_{c}(2800)$ and $\Lambda_{c}(2940)^{+}$ to be $S$-wave $DN$ and $D^{*}N$ molecular candidates, respectively. In the framework of QCD sum rules, we investigate that whether $\Sigma_{c}(2800)$ and $\Lambda_{c}(2940)^{+}$ could be explained as the $S$-wave $DN$ state with $J^{P}=\frac{1}{2}^{-}$ and the $S$-wave $D^{*}N$ state with $J^{P}=\frac{3}{2}^{-}$, respectively. Technically, contributions of operators up to dimension $12$ are included in the operator product expansion (OPE). The final results are $3.64\pm0.33~\mbox{GeV}$ and $3.73\pm0.35~\mbox{GeV}$ for the $S$-wave $DN$ state of $J^{P}=\frac{1}{2}^{-}$ and the $S$-wave $D^{*}N$ state of $J^{P}=\frac{3}{2}^{-}$, respectively. They are somewhat bigger than the experimental data of $\Sigma_{c}(2800)$ and $\Lambda_{c}(2940)^{+}$, respectively. In view of that corresponding molecular currents are constructed from local operators of hadrons, the possibility of $\Sigma_c(2800)$ and $\Lambda_{c}(2940)^{+}$ as molecular states can not be arbitrarily excluded merely from these disagreements between molecular masses using local currents and experimental data. But then these results imply that $\Sigma_{c}(2800)$ and $\Lambda_{c}(2940)^{+}$ could not be compact states. This may suggest a limitation of the QCD sum rule using the local current to determine whether some state is a molecular state or not. As byproducts, masses for their bottom partners are predicted to be $6.97\pm0.34~\mbox{GeV}$ for the $S$-wave $\bar{B}N$ state of $J^{P}=\frac{1}{2}^{-}$ and $6.98\pm0.34~\mbox{GeV}$ for the $S$-wave $\bar{B}^{*}N$ state of $J^{P}=\frac{3}{2}^{-}$.

In the framework of QCD sum rules, we investigate that whether $\Sigma_{c}(2800)$ and $\Lambda_{c}(2940)^{+}$ could be explained as the $S$-wave $DN$ state with $J^{P}=\frac{1}{2}^{-}$ and the $S$-wave $D^{*}N$ state with $J^{P}=\frac{3}{2}^{-}$, respectively. Technically, contributions of operators up to dimension $12$ are included in the operator product expansion (OPE). The final results are $3.64\pm0.33~\mbox{GeV}$ and $3.73\pm0.35~\mbox{GeV}$ for the $S$-wave $DN$ state of $J^{P}=\frac{1}{2}^{-}$ and the $S$-wave $D^{*}N$ state of $J^{P}=\frac{3}{2}^{-}$, respectively. They are somewhat bigger than the experimental data of $\Sigma_{c}(2800)$ and $\Lambda_{c}(2940)^{+}$, respectively. In view of that corresponding molecular currents are constructed from local operators of hadrons, the possibility of $\Sigma_c(2800)$ and $\Lambda_{c}(2940)^{+}$ as molecular states can not be arbitrarily excluded merely from these disagreements between molecular masses using local currents and experimental data. But then these results imply that $\Sigma_{c}(2800)$ and $\Lambda_{c}(2940)^{+}$ could not be compact states. This may suggest a limitation of the QCD sum rule using the local current to determine whether some state is a molecular state or not. As byproducts, masses for their bottom partners are predicted to be $6.97\pm0.34~\mbox{GeV}$ for the $S$-wave $\bar{B}N$ state of $J^{P}=\frac{1}{2}^{-}$ and $6.98\pm0.34~\mbox{GeV}$ for the $S$-wave $\bar{B}^{*}N$ state of $J^{P}=\frac{3}{2}^{-}$.

This work presents a first full one-loop computation of vector boson scattering (VBS) within the non-linear effective field theory given by the bosonic sector of the usually called electroweak chiral Lagrangian (EChL). The computation is performed in the most general case of covariant $R_\xi$ gauges and is compared through all this work with the Standard Model case, whose computation in these covariant gauges is also novel and is presented also here. The calculation of the one-loop VBS amplitude is performed using the diagrammatic method by means of the one-particle-irreducible (1PI) Green functions that are involved in these scattering processes. The central part of this work is then devoted to the renormalization of all the n-legs one-loop 1PI Green functions involved. This renormalization is performed in the most general off-shell case with arbitrary external legs momenta. We then describe in full detail the renormalization program, which within this context of the EChL, implies to derive all the counterterms for both the electroweak parameters, like boson masses and gauge couplings, and those for the EChL coefficients. These later are crucial for the renormalization of the new divergences typically appearing when computing loops with the lowest chiral dimension Lagrangian. We present here the full list of involved divergences and counterterms in the $R_\xi$ gauges and derive the complete set of renormalization group equations for the EChL coefficients. In the last part of this work, we present the EChL numerical results for the one-loop cross section in the WZ channel and compare them with the SM results.

We develop a model for describing excited mesons decay into three mesons. The properties of the excited mesons can be extracted with this model. The model maintains the three-body unitarity that has been missed in previous data analyses based on the conventional isobar models. We study an importance of the three-body unitarity in extracting hadron properties from data. For this purpose, we use the unitary and isobar models to analyze the same pseudo data of gamma p -> pi+pi+pi-n, and extract the properties of excited mesons. We find a significant difference between the unitary and isobar models in the extracted properties of excited mesons, such as the mass, width and coupling strength to decay channels.

The structure of the molecule-like state of $NK\pi$ with spin-parity $J^{\pi}={3/2}^-$ and isospin I=1 is studied within the chiral SU(3) quark model. First we calculate the $NK$, $N\pi$, and $K\pi$ phase shifts in the framework of the resonating group method (RGM), and a qualitative agreement with the experimental data is obtained. Then we perform a rough estimation for the energy of $(NK\pi)_{J^{\pi}={3/2}^-,I=1}$, and the effect of the mixing to the configuration $(\Delta K)_{J^{\pi}={3/2}^-,I=1}$ is also considered. The calculated energy is very close to the threshold of the $NK\pi$ system. A detailed investigation is worth doing in the further study.

A method, recently devised to obtain analytical approximations to certain classes of integrals, is used in combination with the WKB expansion to derive accurate analytical expressions for the spectrum of quantum potentials. The accuracy of our results is verified by comparing them both with the literature on the subject and with the numerical results obtained with a Fortran code. As an application of the method that we propose, we consider the meson spectroscopy with various phenomenological potentials.

The cosmological dust has begun to settle. A likely picture is a universe comprised (predominantly) of three components: ordinary baryons ($\Omega_B \approx 0.05$), non-baryonic dark matter ($\Omega_{Dark} \approx 0.22$) and dark energy ($\Omega_{\Lambda} \approx 0.7$). We suggest that the observed similarity of the abundances of ordinary baryons and non-baryonic dark matter ($\Omega_{B}/\Omega_{Dark} \approx 0.20$) hints at an underlying similarity between the fundamental properties of ordinary and dark matter particles. This is necessarily the case if dark matter is identified with mirror matter. We examine a specific mirror matter scenario where $\Omega_B/\Omega_{Dark} \approx 0.20$ is naturally obtained.

The thermodynamical quantities and response functions are useful to describe the particle production in heavy-ion collisions as they reveal crucial information about the produced system. While the study of isothermal compressibility provides an inference about the viscosity of the medium, speed of sound helps in understanding the equation of state. With an aim towards understanding the system produced in the heavy-ion collision, we have made an attempt to study isothermal compressibility and speed of sound as function of charged particle multiplicity in heavy-ion collisions at $\sqrt{s_{NN}}$ = $2.76$ TeV, $5.02$ TeV, and $5.44$ TeV using unified formalism.

We compute the three-loop helicity amplitudes for the scattering of four gluons in QCD. We employ projectors in the 't Hooft-Veltman scheme and construct the amplitudes from a minimal set of physical building blocks, which allows us to keep the computational complexity under control. We obtain relatively compact results that can be expressed in terms of harmonic polylogarithms. In addition, we consider the Regge limit of our amplitude and extract the gluon Regge trajectory in full three-loop QCD. This is the last missing ingredient required for studying single-Reggeon exchanges at next-to-next-to-leading logarithmic accuracy.

The feasibility of a European next-generation very massive neutrino observatory in seven potential candidate sites located at distances from CERN ranging from 130 km to 2300 km, is being considered within the LAGUNA design study. The study is providing a coordinated technical design and assessment of the underground research infrastructure in the various sites, and its coherent cost estimation. It aims at a prioritization of the sites within summer 2010 and a start of operation around 2020. In addition to a rich non-accelerator based physics programme including the GUT-scale with proton decay searches, the detection of a next-generation neutrino superbeam tuned to measure the flavor-conversion oscillatory pattern (i.e. 1st and 2nd oscillation maxima) would allow to complete our understanding of the leptonic mixing matrix, in particular by determining the neutrino mass hierarchy and by studying CP-violation in the leptonic sector, thereby addressing the outstanding puzzle of the origin of the excess of matter over antimatter created in the very early stages of evolution of the Universe. We focus on a multi-MW-power neutrino superbeam (="hyperbeam") produced by high-intensity primary protons of energy 30$\div$50 GeV. We argue that this option is an effective way to establish long baseline neutrino physics in Europe with the high-stake prospects of measuring $\theta_{13}$ and addressing CP-violation in the leptonic sector.

The search for the effects of heavy fermions in the extension of the Standard Model with a fourth generation is part of the experimental program of the Tevatron and LHC experiments. Besides being directly produced, these states affect drastically the production and decay properties of the Higgs boson. In this note, we first reemphasize the known fact that in the case of a light and long-lived fourth neutrino, the present collider searches do not permit to exclude a Higgs boson with a mass below the WW threshold. In a second step, we show that the recent results from the ATLAS and CMS collaborations which observe an excess in the $\gamma \gamma$ and $4\ell^\pm$ search channels corresponding to a Higgs boson with a mass $M_H \approx 125$ GeV, cannot rule out the fourth generation possibility if the $H \to \gamma \gamma$ decay rate is evaluated when naively implementing the leading ${\cal O}(G_F m_{f'}^2)$ electroweak corrections. Including the exact next-to-leading order electroweak corrections leads to a strong suppression of the $H \to \gamma \gamma$ rate and makes this channel unobservable with present data. Finally, we point out that the observation by the Tevatron collaborations of a $\gsim 2\sigma$ excess in the mass range $M_H = 115$-135 GeV in the channel $q\bar q \to WH \to Wb\bar b$ can definitely not be accommodated by the fourth generation fermion scenario. All in all, if the excesses observed at the LHC and the Tevatron are indeed due to a Higgs boson, they unambiguously exclude the perturbative fermionic fourth generation case. In passing, we also point out that the Tevatron excess definitely rules out the fermiophobic Higgs scenario as well as scenarios in which the Higgs couplings to gauge bosons and bottom quarks are significantly reduced.

Determining the spin of any new particle and measuring its couplings to other particles and/or itself are crucial in reconstructing the structure of any quantum field theory containing the particle. A general helicity formalism is employed to describe the polarization of the particle $Y$ in a two-body decay $X_2\to Y X_1$ with polarized $X_2$ for the purpose of diagnosing the dynamical properties of three involved particles and for determining their spins altogether. We perform a general and comprehensive analytic analysis with our special focus on grasping fully how to connect the decay helicity amplitudes and decay distributions in the $X_2$ rest frame and those in a laboratory frame with $X_2$ moving with a non-zero velocity through Wick helicity rotation on helicity states and amplitudes. This theoretical framework is demonstrated in a detailed illustrative manner with the Standard Model (SM) processes, the sequential process $e^-e^+\to Z\to \tau^-\tau^+$ followed by $\tau^-\to \rho^-\nu_\tau\to (\pi^-\pi^0)\nu_\tau$ and the sequential process $e^-e^+\to t\bar{t}$ followed by $t\to W^+ b \to (\ell^+\nu_\ell)b$, and one non-standard decay process of a new vectorlike heavy top quark, $T\to Z t$, followed by $Z\to \ell^-\ell^+$. All the useful formulas directly applicable to any combinations of spins and any types of couplings in the two-body decay $X_2\to Y X_1$ followed by suitable $Y$ two-body decays processes are collected and described in detail.

We perform a general and comprehensive analytic analysis with our special focus on grasping fully how to connect the decay helicity amplitudes and decay distributions in the $X_2$ rest frame and those in a laboratory frame with $X_2$ moving with a non-zero velocity through Wick helicity rotation on helicity states and amplitudes. This theoretical framework is demonstrated in a detailed illustrative manner with the Standard Model (SM) processes, the sequential process $e^-e^+\to Z\to \tau^-\tau^+$ followed by $\tau^-\to \rho^-\nu_\tau\to (\pi^-\pi^0)\nu_\tau$ and the sequential process $e^-e^+\to t\bar{t}$ followed by $t\to W^+ b \to (\ell^+\nu_\ell)b$, and one non-standard decay process of a new vectorlike heavy top quark, $T\to Z t$, followed by $Z\to \ell^-\ell^+$. All the useful formulas directly applicable to any combinations of spins and any types of couplings in the two-body decay $X_2\to Y X_1$ followed by suitable $Y$ two-body decays processes are collected and described in detail.

Neutrino oscillations successfully explain the flavor transitions observed in neutrinos produced in natural sources like the center of the sun and the earth atmosphere, and also from man-made sources like reactors and accelerators. These oscillations are driven by two mass-squared differences, solar and atmospheric, at the sub-eV scale. However, longstanding anomalies at short-baselines might imply the existence of new oscillation frequencies at the eV-scale and the possibility of this sterile state(s) to mix with the three active neutrinos. One of the many future neutrino programs that are expected to provide a final word on this issue is the Short-Baseline Neutrino Program (SBN) at FERMILAB. In this letter, we consider a specific model of Large Extra Dimensions (LED) which provides interesting signatures of oscillation of extra sterile states. We started re-creating sensitivity analyses for sterile neutrinos in the 3+1 scenario, previously done by the SBN collaboration, by simulating neutrino events in the three SBN detectors from both muon neutrino disappearance and electron neutrino appearance. Then, we implemented neutrino oscillations as predicted in the LED model and also we have performed sensitivity analysis to the LED parameters. Finally, we studied the SBN power of discriminating between the two models, the 3+1 and the LED. We have found that SBN is sensitive to the oscillations predicted in the LED model and have the potential to constrain the LED parameter space better than any other oscillation experiment, for $m_{1}^D<0.1\,\text{eV}$. In case SBN observes a departure from the three active neutrino framework, it also has the power of discriminating between sterile oscillations predicted in the 3+1 framework and the LED ones.

The top quark mass and the flavor mixing are studied in the context of a Seesaw model of Quark Masses based on the gauge group $SU(2)_L \times SU(2)_R \times U(1)$. Six isosinglet quarks are introduced to give rise to the mass hierarchy of ordinary quarks. In this scheme, we reexamine a mechanism for the generation of the top quark mass. It is shown that, in order to prevent the Seesaw mechanism to act for the top quark, the mass parameter of its isosinglet partner must be much smaller than the breaking scale of $SU(2)_R$. As a result the fourth lightest up quark must have a mass of the order of the breaking scale of $SU(2)_R$, and a large mixing between the right-handed top quark and its singlet partner occurs. We also show that this mechanism is compatible with the mass spectrum of light quarks and their flavor mixing.

Recently the AMS-02 experiment reported an excess of cosmic ray antiprotons over the expected astrophysical background. We interpret the excess as a signal from annihilating or decaying dark matter and find that the observed spectrum is well fitted by adding contributions from the annihilation or decay of dark matter with mass of O(TeV) or larger. Interestingly, Wino dark matter with mass of around 3 TeV, whose thermal relic abundance is consistent with present dark matter abundance, can explain the antiproton excess. We also discuss the implications for the decaying gravitino dark matter with R-parity violation.

In this publication, uncertainties in and differences between the MC@NLO and POWHEG methods for matching next-to-leading order QCD calculations with parton showers are discussed. Implementations of both algorithms within the event generator Sherpa and based on Catani-Seymour subtraction are employed to assess the impact on a representative selection of observables. In the case of MC@NLO a substantial simplification is achieved by using dipole subtraction terms to generate the first emission. A phase space restriction is employed, which allows to vary in a transparent way the amount of non-singular radiative corrections that are exponentiated. Effects on various observables are investigated, using the production of a Higgs boson in gluon fusion, with or without an associated jet, as a benchmark process. The case of H+jet production is presented for the first time in an NLO+PS matched simulation. Uncertainties due to scale choices and non-perturbative effects are explored in the production of W and Z bosons in association with a jet. Corresponding results are compared to data from the Tevatron and LHC experiments.

We suggest a method of summing the perturbation theory (PT) asymptotic series related to infrared (IR) renormalons in QCD by using special renormalization schemes in which the running coupling can be integrated over the region of small momenta. For the method to work, one should consider higher order PT corrections to the standard bubble-chain diagrams. High-order corrections allow one to choose a scheme in which the coupling evolution can smoothly be extrapolated to small momenta. In such schemes the sum of an (extended) IR-renormalon asymptotic series is defined as an integral of the running coupling over the IR region. We give explicit examples of renormalization schemes in QCD which can be used for summing IR-renormalon asymptotic series according to our definition.

In recent work on experimental tests of quantum-gravity-motivated phenomenological models, a significant role has been played by the so-called ``$\kappa$'' deformations of Poincar\'e symmetries. Sensitivity to values of the relevant deformation length $\lambda$ as small as $5 \cdot 10^{-33}m$ has been achieved in recent analyses comparing the structure of $\kappa$-Poincar\'e symmetries with data on the gamma rays we detect from distant astrophysical sources. We investigate violations of CPT symmetry which may be associated with $\kappa$-Poincar\'e in the physics of the neutral-kaon system. A simple estimate indicates that experiments on the neutral kaons may actually be more $\lambda$-sensitive than corresponding astrophysical experiments, and may already allow to probe values of $\lambda$ of order the Planck length.

We study the baryon density dependence of the vector meson spectrum using the D4/D6 system together with the compact D4 baryon vertex. We find that the vector meson mass decreases almost linearly in density at low density for small quark mass, but saturates to a finite non-zero value for large density. We also compute the density dependence of the $\eta\prime$ mass and the $\eta\prime$ velocity. We find that in medium, our model is consistent with the GMOR relation up to a few times the normal nuclear density. We compare our hQCD predictions with predictions made based on hidden local gauge theory that is constructed to model QCD.

In this work we study the impact of recent findings regarding non-perturbative corrections in the three-jet region to $e^+e^-$ hadronic observables, by performing a simultaneous fit of the strong coupling constant $\alpha_s$ and the non-perturbative parameter $\alpha_0$. We extend the calculation of these power corrections, already known for thrust and C-parameter, to other $e^+e^-$ hadronic observables. We find that for some observables the non-perturbative corrections are reasonably well behaved in the two-jet limit, while for others they have a more problematic behaviour. If one limits the fit to the three-jet region and to the well-behaved observables, one finds in general very good results, with the extracted value of $\alpha_s$ agreeing well with the world average. This is the case in particular for the thrust and $C$-parameter for which notably small values of $\alpha_s$ have been reported when non-perturbative corrections have been computed using analytic methods. Furthermore, the more problematic variables are also well described provided one stays far enough from the two-jet limit, while in this same region they cannot be described using the traditional implementation of power-corrections based on two-jet kinematics.

Chiral pair fluctuation are considered near the phase boundary of the inhomogeneous chiral phase (iCP). The fluctuations are then bosonized and an effective action for the chiral pair fluctuation is basically constructed by considering the ring diagram of the polarization function. We can evaluate the self-energy and effective four point interaction among fluctuations in a consistent way. The peculiar dispersion of the fluctuation, reflecting the spatially inhomogeneous transition, gives rise to interesting and qualitative results. Thermal fluctuations prohibit the second-order transition, while the effect of the quantum fluctuations is rather modest. Quantum and thermal fluctuations changes the second-order transition to the first one by changing the sign of the effective four-point interaction between effective mesons. These features may be observed by relativistic heavy-ion collisions through the analysis of the thermodynamic observables. Distinct from the second-order phase transition, the first moment such as entropy production exhibits an anomalous behavior due to fluctuations, which is one of the signals of the phase transition to iCP. Some similar aspects are also remarked between iCP and the FFLO state in superconductivity.

At high energy the standard model possesses conformal symmetry at the classical level. This is reflected at the quantum level by relations between the different beta functions of the model. These relations are known as the Weyl consistency conditions. We show that it is possible to satisfy them order by order in perturbation theory, provided that a suitable coupling constant counting scheme is used. As a direct phenomenological application, we study the stability of the standard model vacuum at high energies and compare with previous computations violating the Weyl consistency conditions.

We study the decay law for a moving unstable particle. The usual time-dilatation formula states that the decay width for an unstable state moving with a momentum $p$ and mass $M$ is $\tilde{\Gamma}_{p}=\Gamma M/\sqrt{p^{2}+M^{2}}$ with $\Gamma$ being the decay width in the rest frame. In agreement with previous studies, we show that in the context of QM as well as QFT this equation is \textit{not} correct provided that the quantum measurement is performed in a reference frame in which the unstable particle has momentum $p$ (note, a momentum eigenstate is \textit{not} a velocity eigenstate in QM). We then give, to our knowledge for the first time, an analytic expression of an improved formula and we show that the deviation from $\tilde{\Gamma}_{p}$ has a maximum for $p/M=\sqrt{2/3},$ but is typically \textit{very} small. Then, the result can be easily generalized to a momentum wave packet and also to an arbitrary initial state. Here, we give a very general expression of the non-decay probability. As a next step, we show that care is needed when one makes a boost of an unstable state with zero momentum/velocity: namely, the resulting state has zero overlap with the elements of the basis of unstable states (it is already decayed!). However, when considering a spread in velocity, one finds again that $\tilde{\Gamma }_{p}$ is typically a very good approximation. The study of a velocity wave-packet represents an interesting subject which constitutes one of the main outcomes of the present manuscript.\textbf{ }In the end, it should be stressed that there is no whatsoever breaking of special relativity, but as usual in QM, one should specify which kind of measurement on which kind of state is performed.

In agreement with previous studies, we show that in the context of QM as well as QFT this equation is \textit{not} correct provided that the quantum measurement is performed in a reference frame in which the unstable particle has momentum $p$ (note, a momentum eigenstate is \textit{not} a velocity eigenstate in QM). We then give, to our knowledge for the first time, an analytic expression of an improved formula and we show that the deviation from $\tilde{\Gamma}_{p}$ has a maximum for $p/M=\sqrt{2/3},$ but is typically \textit{very} small. Then, the result can be easily generalized to a momentum wave packet and also to an arbitrary initial state. Here, we give a very general expression of the non-decay probability. As a next step, we show that care is needed when one makes a boost of an unstable state with zero momentum/velocity: namely, the resulting state has zero overlap with the elements of the basis of unstable states (it is already decayed!). However, when considering a spread in velocity, one finds again that $\tilde{\Gamma }_{p}$ is typically a very good approximation. The study of a velocity wave-packet represents an interesting subject which constitutes one of the main outcomes of the present manuscript.\textbf{ }In the end, it should be stressed that there is no whatsoever breaking of special relativity, but as usual in QM, one should specify which kind of measurement on which kind of state is performed.

Top partners are well motivated in many new physics models. Usually, vector like quarks $T_{L,R}$ are introduced to avoid the quantum anomaly. It is crucial to probe their interactions with the standard model particles. However, flavor changing neutral couplings are always difficult to detect directly in the current and future experiments. In this paper, we will show how to constrain the flavor changing neutral Yukawa coupling $Tth$ through the di-Higgs production indirectly. We consider the simplified model including a pair of gauge singlet $T_{L,R}$. Under the perturbative unitarity and experimental constraints, we choose $m_T=400~\mathrm{GeV},s_L=0.2$ and $m_T=800~\mathrm{GeV},s_L=0.1$ as benchmark points. After the analysis of amplitude and evaluation of the numerical cross sections, we find that the present constraints from di-Higgs production have already surpassed the unitarity bound because of the $(y_{L,R}^{tT})^4$ behavior. For the case of $m_T=400~\mathrm{GeV}$ and $s_L=0.2$, $\mathrm{Re}y_{L,R}^{tT}$ and $\mathrm{Im}y_{L,R}^{tT}$ can be bounded optimally in the range $(-0.4, 0.4)$ at HL-LHC with $2\sigma$ CL. For the case of $m_T=800~\mathrm{GeV}$ and $s_L=0.1$, $\mathrm{Re}y_{L,R}^{tT}$ and $\mathrm{Im}y_{L,R}^{tT}$ can be bounded optimally in the range $(-0.5, 0.5)$ at HL-LHC with $2\sigma$ CL. The anomalous triple Higgs coupling $\delta_{hhh}$ can also affect the constraints on $y_{L,R}^{tT}$. Finally, we find that the top quark electric dipole moment can give stronger bounds of $y_{L,R}^{tT}$ in the off-axis regions for some scenarios.

We address and solve the long-standing gauge-invariance problem of the nucleon spin structure. Explicitly gauge-invariant spin and orbital angular momentum operators of quarks and gluons are obtained. This was previously thought to be an impossible task, and opens a more promising avenue towards the understanding of the nucleon spin. Our research also justifies the traditional use of the canonical, gauge-dependent angular momentum operators of photons and electrons in the multipole-radiation analysis and labeling of atomic states; and sheds much light on the related energy-momentum problem in gauge theories, especially in connection with the nucleon momentum.

The gluon propagator is one of the fundamental Green's functions of QCD. It is an essential ingredient in, for example, the modeling of the Schwinger-Dyson equation used to describe hadronic phenomenology. From the Landau gauge gluon propagator, computed with lattice QCD methods, we discuss its interpretation as a massive propagator and measure the gluon mass as a function of the momenta. Special attention is given to the mass at infrared scales. In the last part of the talk, the gluon mass and chiral symmetry breaking are related via an effective model for QCD.

The main challenge in the Standard Model calculation of the mass and width difference in the D0-D0bar system is to estimate the size of SU(3) breaking effects. We prove that D meson mixing occurs in the Standard Model only at second order in SU(3) violation. We consider the possibility that phase space effects may be the dominant source of SU(3) breaking. We find that y=(Delta Gamma)/(2Gamma) of the order of one percent is natural in the Standard Model, potentially reducing the sensitivity to new physics of measurements of D meson mixing.

Using the extrapolation of existing data estimations of prompt photon production at FAIR energies have been made. At $y=y_{c.m.}$ the rapidity density of prompt photons with $p_{t}>$ 1.5 GeV/c per central Au+Au event at 25 AGeV is estimated as $\sim 10^{-4}$ . With the planed beam intensity $10^{9}$ per second and 1% interaction probability, for 10% of most central events one can expect the prompt photon rate $\sim 10^{2}$ photons per second. Direct photons from the hadron scenario of ion collisions generated by the Hadron-String-Dynamics (HSD) transport approach with implemented meson scatterings $\pi\rho\to\pi\gamma, \pi\pi\to\rho\gamma$ have been analyzed. Photons from short-living resonances (e.g. $\omega \to \pi^{0} \gamma$) decaying during the dense phase of the collision should be considered as direct photons. They contribute significantly in the direct photon spectrum at $p_{t}=0.5 - 1$ GeV/c. At the FAIR energy 25 AGeV in Au+Au central collisions the HSD generator predicts, as a lower estimate, $\gamma_{direct}/\gamma_{\pi^{0}} \simeq$ 0.5% in the region $p_{t}=0.5 - 1$ GeV/c. At $p_{t}=1.5 - 2$ GeV/c $\gamma_{prompt}/\gamma_{\pi^{0}} \simeq$ 2%. Thermal direct photons have been evaluated with the Bjorken Hydro-Dynamics (BHD) model. The BHD spectra differ strongly from the HSD predictions. The direct photon spectrum is very sensitive to the initial temperature parameter $T_{0}$ of the model. The 10 MeV increase in the $T_{0}$ value leads to $\sim$ 2 times higher photon yield.

We suggest a simple model, based on the type-I seesaw mechanism, for the lepton mass matrices. The model hinges on an Abelian symmetry which leads to mass matrices with some vanishing matrix elements. The model predicts one massless neutrino and $M_{e\mu} = 0$ ($M$ is the effective light-neutrino Majorana mass matrix). We show that these predictions perfectly agree with the present experimental data if the neutrino mass spectrum is inverted, i.e. if $m_3 = 0$, provided the Dirac phase $\delta$ is very close to maximal ($\pm \pi / 2$). In the case of a normal neutrino mass spectrum, i.e. when $m_1 = 0$, the agreement of our model with the data is less than optimal---the reactor mixing angle $\theta_{13}$ is too small in our model. Minimal leptogenesis is not an option in our model due to the vanishing elements in the Yukawa-coupling matrices.

We present an argument to support the existence of dissipative modes in relativistic field theories. In an O(N) $\varphi^4$ theory in spatial dimension $d\le 3$, a relaxation constant $\Gamma$ of a two-point function in an infrared region is shown to be finite within the two-particle irreducible (2PI) framework at the next-leading order (NLO) of 1/N expansion. This immediately implies that a slow dissipative mode with a dispersion $p_0\sim i\Gamma \p^2$ is microscopically identified in the two-point function. Contrary, NLO calculation in the one-particle irreducible (1PI) framework fails to yield a finite relaxation constant. Comparing the results in 1PI and 2PI frameworks, one concludes that dissipation emerges from multiple scattering of a particle with a heat bath, which is appropriately treated in the 2PI-NLO calculation through the resummation of secular terms to improve long-time behavior of the two-point function. Assuming that this slow dissipative mode survives at the critical point, one can identify the dynamic critical exponent $z$ for the two-point function as $z=2-\eta$. We also discuss possible improvement of the result.

Recently it was suggested that the observation of superluminal neutrinos by the OPERA collaboration may be due to group velocity effects resulting from close-to-maximal oscillation between neutrino mass eigenstates, in analogy to known effects in optics. We show that superluminal propagation does occur through this effect for a series of very narrow energy ranges, but this phenomenum cannot explain the OPERA measurement.

We explore the quark properties at finite temperature near but above the critical temperature of the chiral phase transition. We investigate the effects of the precursory soft mode of the phase transition on the quark dispersion relation and the spectral function. It is found that there appear novel excitation spectra of quasi-quarks and quasi-antiquarks with a three-peak structure, which are not attributed to the hard-thermal-loop approximation. We show that the new spectra originate from the mixing between a quark (anti-quark) and an anti-quark hole (quark hole) caused by a ``resonant scattering'' of the quasi-fermions with the thermally-excited soft mode which has a small but finite excitation energy.

The imminent start of the Large Hadron Collider, which is expected to produce $\sim 10^8$ $t\bar{t}$ pairs per year, provides an unprecedented opportunity for top physics. As the top quark is widely expected to be rather sensitive to effects of new physics, a detailed study of its properties, including rare decays, is called for. A possible, experimentally distinctive decay is the case where a top decays to a light quark and a flavor-violating lepton-antilepton pair. We use an effective operator analysis to place model-independent bounds on contributions to the decays $t\to u e^{\pm} \mu^{\mp}$ and $t\to c e^{\pm} \mu^{\mp}$. We enumerate the dimension-six operators which contribute to these decays and which are invariant under the Standard Model gauge group. We separate these operators into two classes, one with operators where the top quark belongs to an SU(2) doublet and thus can contribute at tree level to low-energy processes, and one class with operators where the top quark is a right-handed singlet and can only contribute to low-energy processes via loop diagrams. We use $B$ and $K$ decays to place limits on the coefficients of some of these operators, but find that several remain unconstrained and could potentially make observable contributions to top decay.

We show that a short period of late D-term inflation can solve the cosmological moduli (radion) problem of (asymmetric) inflation at the TeV scale. Late inflation happens after the large compact dimensions are stabilized which is crucial for obtaining the extremely small Hubble constant and inflaton mass required.

The related issues of Majorana CP violation in the lepton sector and leptogenesis are investigated in detail in two rather generic supersymmetric models with type I see-saw mechanism of neutrino mass generation and A_4 flavour symmetry, which naturally lead at leading order to tri-bimaximal neutrino mixing. The neutrino sector in this class of models is described at leading order by just two real parameters and one phase. This leads, in particular, to significant low energy constraints on the Majorana phases \alpha_{21} and \alpha_{31} in the PMNS matrix, which play the role of leptogenesis CP violating parameters in the generation of the baryon asymmetry of the Universe. We find that it is possible to generate the correct size and sign of the baryon asymmetry in both A_4 models. The sign of the baryon asymmetry is directly related to the signs of sin\alpha_{21} and/or sin\alpha_{31}.

Within the left-right symmetric model (LRM) the $Z$ boson decay into the channel $Z\to\tau\mu$ are investigated. The branching ratios of this decay is found in the third order of the perturbation theory. The obtained expression does not equal to zero only at the existence of the neutrino mixings. It means that from the point of view of the LRM nonconservation both of neutral and of charged lepton flavors has the same nature. As a result, elucidation of the decays $Z\to\l_i\overline{l}_k$ ($i\neq k$) could provide data concerned the neutrino sector structure of the LRM. The neutrino sector parameters which could be measured in that case are as follows: (i) difference of the heavy neutrino masses; (ii) heavy-heavy neutrino mixing; (iii) heavy-light neutrino mixing.

In this short note we describe the symmetry responsible for absolute, nonperturbative proton stability in the Standard Model. The SM with $N_c$ colors and ${N_g}$ generations has an exact, anomaly-free, generation-independent, global symmetry group $U(1)_{B-N_c L} \times \mathbb{Z}_{N_g}^L$, which contains a subgroup of baryon plus lepton number of order $2 N_c {N_g}$. This disallows proton decay for ${N_g}>1$. Many well-studied models beyond the SM explicitly break this global symmetry, and the alternative deserves further attention.

The cooling mechanism of compact stars with quark cores in the color-flavor locked phase is discussed. It is argued that the high thermal conductivity of the quark core plays a key role in the stellar cooling. It implies that the cooling time of compact stars with color-flavor locked quark cores is similar to that of ordinary neutron stars, unless the star is almost completely made of color-flavor locked quark matter.

HepLib is a C++ Library for computations in High Energy Physics, it works on top of GiNaC, a well-established C++ library used to perform symbolic computations. HepLib combines serval well-known packages to get high efficiency, including Qgraf to generate Feynman aptitudes, FORM to perform Dirac/Color matrix related computations, and FIRE or KIRA for integration-by-parts (IBP) reduction. Another core feature of HepLib lies in the numerical evaluation of master integrals using sector decomposition, which is a general method widely used in high-order numerical computation and has been implemented in many public packages in many different languages, and we present another implementation in the language of C++ with many new features. We use GiNaC to handle the symbolic operations, and export the corresponding integrand into an optimized C++ code, that will be compiled internally and linked dynamically, a customizable numerical integrator is selected to perform the numerical integration, while the integrand can be evaluated in different float precisions, including the arbitrary precision supported by MPFR.

We calculate the high and low scale threshold corrections to the D=6 proton decay mode in supersymmetric SU(5) grand unified theories with higher-dimensional representation Higgs multiplets. In particular, we focus on a missing-partner model in which the grand unified group is spontaneously broken by the 75-dimensional Higgs multiplet and the doublet-triplet splitting problem is solved. We find that in the missing-partner model the D=6 proton decay rate gets suppressed by about 60%, mainly due to the threshold effect at the GUT scale, while the SUSY-scale threshold corrections are found to be less prominent when sfermions are heavy.

We present a Monte Carlo analysis in terms of neutrino oscillations of the total rates measured in solar neutrino experiments in the framework of frequentist statistics. We show that the goodness of fit and the confidence level of the allowed regions in the space of the neutrino oscillation parameters are significantly overestimated in the standard method. We also present a calculation of exact allowed regions with correct frequentist coverage. We show that the exact VO, LMA and LOW regions are much larger than the standard ones and merge together giving an allowed band at large mixing angles for all Delta m^2 > 10^{-10} eV^2.

While indirect & direct CP violations (CPV) had been established in the decays of strange & beauty mesons, none have been done for baryons. There are different "roads" for finding CP asymmetries in the decays of strange baryons; they are highly non-trivial ones. The HyperCP Collaboration had probed CPV in the decays of single $\Xi$ & $\Lambda$ [Phys.Rev.Lett 93 (2004) 262001]. We talk about future lessons from $e^+e^-$ collisions at BESIII/BEPCII: probing decays of pairs of strange baryons, namely $\Lambda$, $\Sigma$ & $\Xi$. Realistic goals are to learn about non-perturbative QCD. One can hope to find CPV in the decays of strange baryons; one can also dream to find impact of New Dynamics (ND). We point out that a new important era starts with the BESIII/BEPCII data accumulated by the end of 2018.

A striking contradiction between lattice short range static potential (nf=0) and standard perturbative potential, observed by Bali G.S., is investigated in the framework of the background perturbation theory. With the use of the background coupling which contains the only background parameter - mass mB, fixed by fine structure fit in bottomonium, the lattice data are nicely explained without introduction of exotic short range linear potential with large "string tension" approx. 1 GeV squared. A significant difference between the background coupling and standard perturbative coupling is found in the range 0.05 fm < r<0.15 fm, while at larger distances, r > 0.3 fm the background coupling fast approaches the freezing value. Some problems concerning the strong coupling properties at short and long distances are discussed and solutions are suggested.

We develop a detailed analysis of synchrotron radiation in the effective Lorentz invariance violating (LIV) model of Myers-Pospelov, considering explicitly both the dynamics of the charge producing the radiation and the dynamics of the electromagnetic field itself. Within the radiation approximation we compute exact expressions in the LIV parameters for the electric and magnetic fields, the angular distribution of the power spectrum, the total emitted power in the m-th harmonic and the polarization. We also perform expansions of the exact results in terms of the LIV parameters to identify the dominant effects, and study the main features of the high energy limit of the spectrum. A very interesting consequence is the appearance of rather unexpected and large amplifying factors associated with the LIV effects, which go along with the usual contributions of the expansion parameter. This opens up the possibility of looking for astrophysical sources where these amplifying factors are important to further explore the constraints imposed upon the LIV parameters by synchrotron radiation measurements. We briefly sketch some phenomenological applications in the case of SNRs and GRBs.

High energy tau neutrinos with energy greater than several thousands of GeV may be produced in some astrophysical sites. A summary of the intrinsic high energy tau neutrino flux estimates from some representative astrophysical sites is presented including the effects of neutrino flavor oscillations. The presently envisaged prospects of observations of the oscillated high energy tau neutrino flux are mentioned. In particular, a recently suggested possibility of future observations of Earth-skimming high energy tau neutrinos is briefly discussed.

The relativistic five-quark equations are found in the framework of the dispersion relation technique. The solutions of these equations using the method based on the extraction of the leading singularities of the amplitudes are obtained. The five-quark amplitudes for the low-lying pentaquarks including the u, d, s- quarks are calculated. The poles of these amplitudes determine the masses of the negative parity pentaquarks with I = 0, 1 and spin 3/2-, 5/2-.

The relativistic five-quark equations are found in the framework of the dispersion relation technique. The solutions of these equations using the method based on the extraction of the leading singularities of the amplitudes are obtained. The five-quark amplitudes for the low-lying pentaquarks including the u, d, s- quarks are calculated. The poles of these amplitudes determine the masses of the negative parity pentaquarks with I = 0, 1 and spin 3/2-, 5/2-. The mass of the lowest pentaquark with I = 0 and spin 3/2- is equal to 1514 MeV.

Neutrinos propagating in media (matter and electromagnetic fields) undergo flavor and helicity oscillations, where helicity transitions are instigated both by electromagnetic fields and matter currents. In addition, it has been shown that correlations between neutrinos and antineutrinos of opposite momentum can build up in anisotropic media. We re-derive the neutrino equations of motion in the mean-field approximation for homogeneous yet anisotropic media, confirming previous results except for a small correction in the Majorana case. Furthermore, we derive the mean-field Hamiltonian induced by neutrino electromagnetic interactions. We also provide a phenomenological discussion of pair correlations in comparison with helicity correlations.

We numerically investigate gauge field instabilities in anisotropic SU(2) plasmas using weak field initial conditions. The growth of unstable modes is stopped by non-abelian effects for moderate anisotropy. If we increase the anisotropy the growth continues beyond the non-abelian saturation bound. We find strong indications that the continued growth is not due to over-saturation of infrared field modes, but instead due to very rapid growth of high momentum modes which are not unstable in the weak field limit. The saturation amplitude strongly depends on the initial conditions. For strong initial fields we do not observe the sustained growth.

With the advent of generalized unitarity and parametric integration techniques, the construction of a generic Next-to-Leading Order Monte Carlo becomes feasible. Such a generator will entail the treatment of QCD color in the amplitudes. We extend the concept of color dressing to one-loop amplitudes, resulting in the formulation of an explicit algorithmic solution for the calculation of arbitrary scattering processes at Next-to-Leading order. The resulting algorithm is of exponential complexity, that is the numerical evaluation time of the virtual corrections grows by a constant multiplicative factor as the number of external partons is increased. To study the properties of the method, we calculate the virtual corrections to $n$-gluon scattering.

The deuteron binding energy is only 2.2 MeV. At the same time, its yield in Pb+Pb collisions at $\sqrt{s_{NN}} = $2.76 TeV corresponds to a thermal yield at the temperature around 155 MeV, which is too hot to keep deuterons bound. This puzzle is not completely resolved yet. In general, the mechanism of light nuclei production in ultra-high energy heavy ion collisions remains under debate. In a previous work [1] we suggest a microscopic explanation of the deuteron production in central ultra-relativistic Pb+Pb collisions, the main mechanism being $\pi pn \leftrightarrow \pi d$ reactions in the hadronic phase of the collision. We use a state-of-the-art hybrid approach, combining relativistic hydrodynamics for the hot and dense stage and hadronic transport for a later, more dilute stage. Deuteron rescattering in the hadronic stage is implemented explicitly, using its experimentally measured vacuum cross-sections. In these proceedings we extend our previous work to non-central collisions, keeping exactly the same methodology and parameters. We find that our approach leads to a good description of the measured deuteron transverse momentum spectra at centralities up to 40%, and underestimates the amount of deuterons at low transverse momentum at higher centralities. Nevertheless, the coalescence parameter $B_2$, measured by ALICE collaboration, is reproduced well in our approach even for peripheral collisions.

We discuss the field-theoretical approach to neutrino oscillations. This approach includes the neutrino source and detector processes and allows to obtain the neutrino transition or survival probabilities as cross sections derived from the Feynman diagram of the combined source -- detection process. In this context, the neutrinos which are supposed to oscillate appear as propagators of the neutrino mass eigenfields, connecting the source and detection processes.

The elements of this matrix determine the scale dependence of non-perturbative parton distributions, such as GPDs, and hence constitute important input for phenomenological studies of exclusive processes like deeply-virtual Compton scattering. Particular emphasis will be put on a recently developed method that exploits consistency relations for the anomalous dimension matrix which follow from the renormalization structure of the operators.

The baryon-$qqq$ vertex function governed by the Markov-Yukawa Transversality Principle ($MYTP$), is formulated via the Covariant Null-Plane Ansatz ($CNPA$) as a 3-body generalization of the corresponding $q{\bar q}$ problem, and employed to calculate the proton e.m. form factor and baryon octet magnetic moments.The e.m. coupling scheme is specified by letting the e.m. field interact by turn with the `spectator' while the two interacting quarks fold back into the baryon. The $S_3$ symmetry of the matrix element is preserved in all d.o.f.'s together. The $CNPA$ formulation ensures, as in the $q{\bar q}$ case, that the loop integral is free from the Lorentz mismatch disease of covariant instantaneity ($CIA$), while the simple trick of `Lorentz completion'ensures a Lorentz invariant structure. The $k^{-4}$ scaling behaviour at large $k^2$ is reproduced. And with the infrared structure of the gluonic propagator attuned to spectroscopy, the charge radius of the proton comes out at $0.96 fm$. The magnetic moments of the baryon octet, also in good accord with data, are expressible as $(a+b\lambda)/(2+\lambda)$, where $a,b$ are purely geometrical numbers and $\lambda$ a dynamics-dependent quantity.

Similarily the a0(980) and the a0(1450) are likely to be two manifestations of the same qq state. On the other hand, the uu+dd state, when unitarized and strongly distorted by hadronic mass shifts, becomes an extremely broad Breit-Wigner-like background, m=860 MeV, Gamma=880 MeV, with its pole at s=(0.158-i0.235) GeV^2.

Here we present a complete computation of these quantities within the Standard Model. We show that decoupling properties with respect to heavy particles do take place in the weak magnetic moment. The obtained values, a_b(M_Z^2)=(2.98-1.56i)x10^(-4) and a_c(M_Z^2)=(-2.80+1.09i)x10^(-5) are dominated by one-gluon exchange diagrams.

The time-dependent CP asymmetry in exclusive B^0(t) -> K^{*0}\gamma decays has been proposed as a probe of new physics in B decays. Recently, this method was extended to radiative decays into multibody hadronic final states such as B^0(t)-> K_S\pi^0\gamma and B^0(t)-> \pi^+\pi^-\gamma. The CP asymmetry in these decays vanishes to the extent that the photon is completely polarized. In the Standard Model, the photon emitted in b-> s\gamma has high left-handed polarization, but right-handed contamination enters already at leading order in \Lambda/m_b even for vanishing light quark masses. We compute here the magnitude of this effect and the time dependent CP asymmetry parameter S_{K_S \pi^0\gamma}. We find that the Standard Model can easily accomodate values of S as large as 10%, but a precise value cannot be obtained at present because of strong interactions uncertainties.

Recently, this method was extended to radiative decays into multibody hadronic final states such as B^0(t)-> K_S\pi^0\gamma and B^0(t)-> \pi^+\pi^-\gamma. The CP asymmetry in these decays vanishes to the extent that the photon is completely polarized. In the Standard Model, the photon emitted in b-> s\gamma has high left-handed polarization, but right-handed contamination enters already at leading order in \Lambda/m_b even for vanishing light quark masses. We compute here the magnitude of this effect and the time dependent CP asymmetry parameter S_{K_S \pi^0\gamma}. We find that the Standard Model can easily accomodate values of S as large as 10%, but a precise value cannot be obtained at present because of strong interactions uncertainties.

An extended $U(3)_L\bigotimes U(3)_R$ chiral effective field theory which includes pseudoscalar and vector meson nonets as dynamic variables is presented. The theory combines a hidden symmetry approach with a general procedure of including the $\eta'$ meson into chiral theory, and accounts for $direct$ and $indirect$ symmetry breaking effects via a mechanism based on the quark mass matrix. The theory is applied to anomalous radiative decays using particle mixing schemes, corresponding to different symmetry breaking assumptions and uniquely determined by the lagarngian presumed. Radiative decays of light flavor mesons are best explained within the framework of a one mixing angle scheme and provide evidence for $SU(3)_F$ and nonet symmetry breaking.

Timelike Compton scattering (TCS) i.e. the exclusive photoproduction of a lepton pair with large invariant mass nicely complements the already successful experimental study of deeply virtual Compton scattering (DVCS). The same Generalized Parton Distributions enter both amplitudes, which offer a promissing way to access the quark and gluon nucleon structure. We review recent progress in this domain, emphasizing the fact that analyticity and factorization properties dictate the relation of the NLO corrections to TCS to those of DVCS. We also stress that data on TCS at high energy should be available soon thanks to the proposed experimental program at JLab at 12 GeV, and that, before the future high energy electron ion colliders become reality, the study of ultraperipheral collisions at the RHIC and LHC may open a window on quark and gluon GPDs at very small skewness. .

Precision measurements at the LHC and future colliders require theory predictions with uncertainties at the percent level for many observables. Theory uncertainties due to the perturbative truncation are particularly relevant and must be reduced to fully exploit the physics potential of collider experiments. In recent years the theoretical high energy physics community has made tremendous analytical and numerical advances to address this challenge. In this white paper, we survey state-of-the-art calculations in perturbative quantum field theory for collider phenomenology with a particular focus on the computational requirements at high perturbative orders. We show that these calculations can have specific high-performance-computing (HPC) profiles that should to be taken into account in future HPC resource planning.

Implication of neutrino mass model based on $\Delta$(27) discrete flavor symmetry, on parameters of neutrino oscillations, CP violation and effective neutrino masses is studied using type-I seesaw mechanism. The Standard Model particle content is extended by adding two additional Higgs doublets, three right-handed neutrinos and two scalar triplets under $\Delta$(27) symmetry predicting diagonal charged lepton mass matrix. This can generate the desired deviation from $\mu - \tau$ symmetry. The resulting neutrino oscillation parameters are well agreed with the latest global fit oscillation data. The sum of the three absolute neutrino mass eigenvalues, $\sum\limits_{i}|m_{i}|$ (i=1,2,3) is found to be consistent with that of the value given by latest Planck cosmological data, $\sum\limits_{i}|m_{i}|<$0.12 eV. The model further predicts effective neutrino masses for neutrinoless double beta decay, 4.15 meV $\leq m_{ee}\leq$ 30.6 meV, tritium beta decay, 8.4 meV $\leq m_{\beta}\leq$ 30.5 meV, Jarlskog invariant, $J_{CP}=\pm 0.022$ for CP violation, baryon asymmetry $Y_{B}=1.15 \times 10^{-10}$ for normal hierarchical case; and also 49.5 meV $\leq m_{ee}\leq$ 51.7 meV, 49.5 meV $\leq m_{\beta}\leq$ 51.4 meV, $J_{CP}=\pm 0.022$, $Y_{B}=1.12\times 10^{-10}$ for inverted hierarchical case respectively.

We introduce a model of hadronization based on invertible neural networks that faithfully reproduces a simplified version of the Lund string model for meson hadronization. Additionally, we introduce a new training method for normalizing flows, termed MAGIC, that improves the agreement between simulated and experimental distributions of high-level (macroscopic) observables by adjusting single-emission (microscopic) dynamics. Our results constitute an important step toward realizing a machine-learning based model of hadronization that utilizes experimental data during training. Finally, we demonstrate how a Bayesian extension to this normalizing-flow architecture can be used to provide analysis of statistical and modeling uncertainties on the generated observable distributions.

We investigate collective excitations in magnetic topological insulators (TIs) and their impact on particle axion detection. In the three-dimensional TI model with the Hubbard term, the effective action of magnons and amplitude modes is formulated by dynamical susceptibility under the antiferromagnetic and ferromagnetic states. One of the amplitude modes is identified as ``axionic'' quasi-particle and its effective coupling to the electromagnetic fields turns out to be enhanced by about four orders of magnitude larger than the previous estimate, which may drastically change the sensitivity of the particle axion search using ``axion'' in magnetic TIs.

The BESS model is the Higgs-less alternative to the standard model of electroweak interaction, based on nonlinearly realized spontaneous symmetry breaking. Since it is nonrenormalizable, new couplings (not existing in the SM) are induced at each loop order. On the basis of the one loop induced vector-boson self-couplings we study the two- and three-vector-boson-production processes in $e^+e^-$ collisions at $\sqrt{s}=500 GeV$, the expected energy of the next $ e^+e^-$ linear collider (NLC). Assuming that NLC results will agree with the SM predictions within given accuracy we identify the bounds for the free parameters of the BESS model.

Our analysis does not support recent claims that this is the dominant process. In our calculations we take into account the resummed form of the transverse and longitudinal parts of the gluon propagator following the Braaten-Pisarski method. Our results are subject to the uncertainty concerning the estimate of the damping rate entering the effective gluon propagator.

We discuss the $Z_2$ symmetric two Higgs doublet model with a real soft breaking term (real 2HDM). We explain in detail why it is not tenable to assume CP conservation in the scalar sector to keep the dimension two term real, while CP is violated by the dimension four Yukawa couplings. We propose the calculation of the infinite tadpole of the (would-be) pseudoscalar neutral scalar. We construct a simple toy model with the same flaws, where the unrenormalizable infinity is easier to calculate. We then turn our attention to the same tadpole in the real 2HDM. We spearhead this effort focusing on diagrams involving solely bare quantities. This involves hundreds of Feynman three-loop diagrams that could feed the CP violation from the quark into the scalar sector, and is only possible with state of the art automatic computation tools. Remarkably, some intermediate results agree when using three independent derivations, including the peculiar cancellation of the leading pole divergence due to a subtle interplay between masses and the Jarlskog invariant, which we calculate analytically. The calculation is not complete however, since the full two-loop renormalization of the real 2HDM is not yet available in the literature. Still, we argue convincingly that there is an irremovable infinity.

The analysis of the sample of charged current quasi elastic events collected by the MiniBooNE Collaboration suggests that the scheme successfully employed to describe electron-nucleus scattering fails to explain neutrino-nucleus cross sections. I argue that, due to flux average, the double differential neutrino-nucleus cross section does not allow for a clearcut determination of the dominant reaction mechanism. A systematic study of the large body of electron scattering data may help to identify the processes, other than single nucleon knockout, contributing to the observed neutrino cross section.

The high-temperature plasma above the electroweak scale $\sim 100$ GeV may have contained a primordial hypercharge magnetic field whose anomalous coupling to the fermions induces a transformation of the hypermagnetic energy density into fermionic number. In order to describe this process, we generalize the ordinary magnetohydrodynamical equations to the anomalous case. We show that a not completely homogeneous hypermagnetic background induces fermion number fluctuations, which can be expressed in terms of a generic hypermagnetic field configuration. We argue that, depending upon the various particle physics parameters involved in our estimate (electron Yukawa coupling, strength of the electroweak phase transition) and upon the hypermagnetic energy spectrum, sizeable matter-antimatter fluctuations can be generated in the plasma. These fluctuations may modify the predictions of the standard Big Bang nucleosynthesis (BBN). We derive constraints on the magnetic fields from the requirement that the homogeneous BBN is not changed. We analyse the influence of primordial magnetic fields on the electroweak phase transition and show that some specific configurations of the magnetic field may be converted into net baryon number at the electroweak scale.

We review status of the power corrections in QCD. The topics include shape variables, unconventional 1/Q^2 corrections, tachyonic gluon mass as a fit parameter to the 1/Q^2 corrections. The selection of the material is determined mostly by results presented at the Conference QCD'98 (Montpellier, July 1998). Some background comments are also included.

We investigate color superconductivity and chiral symmetry restoration at finite temperature and baryon density in the frame of standard two flavor Nambu--Jona-Lasinio model. We derive the diquark mass in RPA, discuss its constraint on the coupling constant in the diquark channel, and find a strong competition between the two phase transitions when the coupling constant is large enough.

We show that very compact axion mini-clusters can form in models where axion-like-particle (ALP) dark matter is produced via the kinetic misalignment mechanism, which is well-motivated in pre-inflationary $U(1)$ symmetry breaking scenarios. This is due to ALP fragmentation. We predict denser halos than what has been obtained so far in the literature from standard misalignment in post-inflationary $U(1)$ breaking scenarios or from large misalignment. The main reason is that adiabatic fluctuations are significant at early times; therefore, even if amplification from parametric resonance effects is moderate, the final size of ALP fluctuations is larger in kinetic misalignment. We compare halo mass functions and halo spectra obtained in kinetic misalignment, large misalignment, and standard misalignment, respectively. Our analysis does not depend on the specific model realization of the kinetic misalignment mechanism. We present our results generally as a function of the ALP mass and the ALP decay constant only. We show that a sizable region of this ALP parameter space can be tested by future experiments that probe small-scale structures.
