We study MeV-scale electrophilic Feebly Interacting Particles (FIPs), that may be abundantly produced in Supernova (SN) explosions, escape the star and decay into electrons and positrons. This exotic injection of leptons in the Milky Way leaves an imprint in both photon and cosmic-ray fluxes. Specifically, positrons lose energy and annihilate almost at rest with background electrons, producing photons with $511$ keV energy. In addition, electrons and positrons radiate photons through bremsstrahlung emission and upscatter the low-energy galactic photon fields via the inverse Compton process generating a broad emission from X-ray to $\gamma$-ray energies. Finally, electrons and positrons are directly observable in cosmic ray experiments. In order to describe the FIP-induced lepton injection in full generality, we use a model independent parametrization which can be applied to a host of FIPs such as axion-like particles, dark photons and sterile neutrinos. Theoretical predictions are compared to experimental data to robustly constrain FIP-electron interactions with an innovative multimessenger analysis.

We point out that current and planned telescopes have the potential of probing annihilating Dark Matter (DM) with a mass of O(100) TeV and beyond. As a target for such searches, we propose models where DM annihilates into lighter mediators, themselves decaying into Standard Model (SM) particles. These models allow to reliably compute the energy spectra of the SM final states, and to naturally evade the unitarity bound on the DM mass. Indeed, long-lived mediators may cause an early matter-dominated phase in the evolution of the Universe and, upon decaying, dilute the density of preexisting relics thus allowing for very large DM masses. We compute this dilution in detail and provide results in a ready-to-use form. Considering for concreteness a model of dark U(1) DM, we then study both dilution and the signals at various high energy telescopes observing gamma rays, neutrinos and charged cosmic rays. This study enriches the physics case of these experiments, and opens a new observational window on heavy new physics sectors.

Using a modified perturbative approach that includes the Sudakov resummation and transverse degrees of freedom we analyze the penguin-induced B -> pi phi decay. The perturbative method enables us to include nonfactorizable contributions and to control virtual momenta appearing in the process. The calculation supports the results obtained in the standard BSW factorization approach, illustrating the electroweak penguin dominance and the branching ratio of order O(10^{-8}). However, the estimated prediction of 16% for CP asymmetry is much larger than that obtained in the factorization approach.

At high center of mass energies, hadroproduction of heavy quarks can be expressed in terms of the same color dipole cross section as low Bjorken-x deep inelastic scattering. We show analytically that at leading order, the dipole formulation is equivalent to the gluon-gluon fusion mechanism of the conventional parton model. In phenomenological application, we employ a parameterization of the dipole cross section which also includes higher order and saturation effects, thereby going beyond the parton model. Numerical calculations in the dipole approach agree well with experimental data on open charm production over a wide range of energy. Dipole approach and next to leading order parton model yield similar values for open charm production, but for open bottom production, the dipole approach tends to predict somewhat higher cross sections than the parton model.

We propose a focus point gauge mediation model based on the product group unification (PGU), which solves the doublet-triplet splitting problem of the Higgs multiplets. In the focus point gauge mediation, the electroweak symmetry breaking scale can be naturally explained even for multi-TeV stops. It is known that the focus point behavior appears if a ratio of the number of SU(2) doublet messengers to that of SU(3) triplet messengers is close to 5/2. Importantly, this ratio (effectively) appears in our scenario based on the PGU, if the messenger field is an adjoint representation of SU(5) gauge group. Therefore, our focus point scenario is very predictive. It is also pointed out the gravitino can be dark matter without spoiling the success of the thermal leptogenesis. The absence of the SUSY CP-problem is guaranteed in the case that the Higgs B-term vanishes at the messenger scale.

Cascade decays of Supersymmetric (SUSY) particles are likely to be prolific sources of Higgs bosons at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). In this work, we explore, with the help of detailed simulation, the role of non-universal gaugino masses in the production of the Higgs bosons under SUSY cascades. The analysis is carried out by choosing an appropriate set of benchmark points with non-universal gaugino masses in the relevant SUSY parameter space and then contrasting the resulting observations with the corresponding cases having universal relationship among the same. It is shown that even of data at an early phase of the LHC-run with 10 fb$^{-1}$ one would be able to see, under favourable situations, the imprint of non-universal gaugino masses by reconstructing various Higgs boson resonances and comparing their rates. With increased accumulated luminosities, the indications would naturally become distinct over a larger region of the parameter space.

The DAMA/LIBRA collaboration has recently released updated results from their search for the annual modulation signal expected from Dark Matter (DM) scattering in their NaI detectors. We have fitted the updated DAMA result for the modulation amplitudes in terms of a Weakly Interacting Massive Particle (WIMP) signal, parameterizing the interaction with nuclei in terms of the most general effective Lagrangian for a WIMP particle spin up to 1/2, systematically assuming dominance of one of the 14 possible interaction terms, and assuming for the WIMP velocity distribution a standard Maxwellian. We find that most of the couplings of the non-relativistic effective Hamiltonian can provide a better fit compared to the standard Spin Independent interaction case, and with a reduced fine-tuning of the three parameters (WIMP mass, WIMP-nucleon effective cross-section and ratio between the WIMP-neutron and the WIMP-proton couplings). Moreover, effective models for which the cross section depends explicitly on the WIMP incoming velocity can provide a better fit of the DAMA data at large values of $m_{\chi}$ compared to the standard velocity-independent cross-section due to a different phase of the modulation amplitudes. All the best fit solutions are in tension with exclusion plots of both XENON1T and PICO60.

I will try to review some of the puzzling aspects of the origin of the nucleon spin. I will emphasize the connection with several sum rules and, when using this tool, the relevance of some kinematic regions for testing them in the QCD dynamics framework.

The CMS Collaboration has released the results of its search for supersymmetry, by applying an alphaT method to 1.1/fb of data at 7 TeV. The null result excludes (at 95% CL) a low-mass region of the Constrained MSSM's parameter space that was previously favored by other experiments. Additionally, the negative result of the XENON100 dark matter search has excluded (at 90% CL) values of the spin-independent scattering cross sections sigma^SI_p as low as 10^-8 pb. We incorporate these improved experimental constraints into a global Bayesian fit of the Constrained MSSM by constructing approximate likelihood functions. In the case of the alphaT limit, we simulate detector efficiency for the CMS alphaT 1.1/fb and validate our method against the official 95% CL contour. We identify the 68% and 95% credible posterior regions of the CMSSM parameters, and also find the best-fit point. We find that the credible regions change considerably once a likelihood from alphaT is included, in particular the narrow light Higgs resonance region becomes excluded, but the focus point/horizontal branch region remains allowed at the 1sigma level. Adding the limit from XENON100 has a weaker additional effect, in part due to large uncertainties in evaluating sigma^SI_p, which we include in a conservative way, although we find that it reduces the posterior probability of the focus point region to the 2sigma level. The new regions of high posterior favor squarks lighter than the gluino and all but one Higgs bosons heavy. The dark matter neutralino mass is found in the range 250 GeV <~ m_Chi1 <~ 343 GeV (at 1sigma) while, as the result of improved limits from the LHC, the favored range of sigma^SI_p is pushed down to values below 10^{-9} pb. We highlight tension between (g-2)_mu and BR(b->sg), which is exacerbated by including the alphaT limit; each constraint favors a different region of the CMSSM's mass parameters.

If a fourth generation quark exists whose mass is below 255 GeV, then the only two-body charged current decay, b'-->cW, is doubly-Cabibbo suppressed. For this reason, CDF has searched for the one-loop neutral current decay b' --> bZ, assuming that the branching ratio into bZ is 100%; an analysis giving the bounds on m_b' for smaller branching ratios is in preparation. In this Report, we examine the neutral current decay b' --> bH, which will occur if the Higgs mass is less than m_b'-m_b. Four different cases are examined: the sequential case, the non-chiral isosinglet case, the non-chiral isodoublet case, and a two-Higgs model with flavor-changing neutral currents. In the first three of these, the rates for b' --> bZ and b' --> bH are comparable, assuming comparable phase space factors; in the fourth, b' --> bH is completely dominant. Thus, we emphasize the importance of giving b' mass bounds as a function of the branching ratio into bZ, since the assumption of a 100% branching ratio for b' --> bZ may only be valid if the Higgs mass is near or above the b' mass.

The momentum correlation functions of S = -2 baryon pairs (p Xi^- and Lambda Lambda) produced in high-energy pp and pA collisions are investigated on the basis of the coupled-channel formalism. The strong interaction is described by the coupled-channel HAL QCD potential obtained by the lattice QCD simulations near physical quark masses, while the hadronic source function is taken to be a static Gaussian form. The coupled-channel effect, the threshold difference, the realistic strong interaction, and the Coulomb interaction are fully taken into account for the first time in the femtoscopic analysis of baryon-baryon correlations. The characteristic features of the experimental data for the p Xi^- and Lambda Lambda pairs at LHC are reproduced quantitatively with a suitable choice of non-femtoscopic parameters and the source size. The agreement between theory and experiment indicates that the N Xi (Lambda Lambda) interaction is moderately (weakly) attractive without having a quasi-bound (bound) state.

We consider the implications of the CDF collaboration high-precision measurement of the W boson mass on models with a non-standard Higgs. We show that this requires an enhancement of 3-10% in the non-standard Higgs coupling to the gauge bosons. This is naturally accommodated in dynamical models such as the dilaton Higgs, the Technicolor and glueball Higgs. The needed composite scale between 2 and 3 TeV can also explain the muon g-2 anomaly, as well as possible violations of lepton flavour universality.

In the standard model extended with a seesaw mass matrix, we study the production of sterile neutrinos from the decay of vector bosons at $T\simeq M_{W,Z}$. We derive a general quantum kinetic equation for the production of sterile neutrinos and their effective mixing angles valid in a wide range of temperature, to all orders in interactions of the standard model, and to leading order mixing angle $\theta \ll 1$. Production rates and effective mixing angles depend sensitively on helicity. Positive helicity states interact more weakly with the medium and their effective mixing angle is not modified significantly whereas the mixing angle for negative helicity is strongly suppressed by the medium. If $M_s \lesssim 8.35\,\mathrm{MeV}$, there are fewer states with negative helicity produced than those with positive helicity. There is an MSW resonance in the absence of lepton asymmetry, but is screened by the damping rate, without production enhancement. Negative helicity states freeze-out at $T^-_f\simeq 5\,\mathrm{GeV}$ and positive helicity states freeze-out at $T^+_f \simeq 8\,\mathrm{GeV}$, both distributions are far from thermal. Negative helicity states feature a broader momentum distribution than that for those with positive helicity. Sterile neutrinos produced via vector boson decay do not satisfy the abundance, lifetime and cosmological constraints to be the sole dark matter component in the universe but might solve the $^{7}Li$ problem, albeit at the very edge of the possible parameter space. A heavy sterile neutrino with a mass of a few MeV could decay into light sterile neutrinos, of a few keV in mass, that contribute to warm dark matter. We argue that heavy sterile neutrinos with lifetime $\leq 1/H_0$ reach local thermodynamic equilibrium.

We study bounds from perturbative unitarity in a Composite 2-Higgs Doublet Model (C2HDM) based on the spontaneous breakdown of a global symmetry $SO(6)\to SO(4)\times SO(2)$ at the compositeness scale $f$. The eight pseudo Nambu-Goldstone Bosons (pNGBs) emerging from such a dynamics are identified as two isospin doublet Higgs fields. We calculate the $S$-wave amplitude for all possible 2-to-2-body elastic (pseudo)scalar boson scatterings at energy scales $\sqrt{s}$ reachable at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) and beyond it, including the longitudinal components of weak gauge boson states as the corresponding pNGB states. In our calculation, the Higgs potential is assumed to have the same form as that in the Elementary 2-Higgs Doublet Model (E2HDM) with a discrete $Z_2$ symmetry, which is expected to be generated at the one-loop level via the Coleman-Weinberg (CW) mechanism. We find that the $S$-wave amplitude matrix can be block-diagonalized with maximally $2\times 2$ submatrices in a way similar to the E2HDM case as long as we only keep the contributions from ${\cal O }(\xi s)$ and ${\cal O }(\xi^0 s^0)$ in the amplitudes, where $\xi=v_{\text{SM}}^2/f^2$ and $v_{\text{SM}}^{}\simeq 246$ GeV, which is an appropriate approximation for our analysis. By requiring the C2HDM to satisfy perturbative unitarity at energies reachable by the LHC, we derive bounds on its parameters such as $\xi$ and the masses of extra Higgs bosons present in the scenario alongside the Standard Model (SM)-like Higgs state discovered in 2012.

Angular Power Spectrum and Dilatonic Inflation in Modular-Invariant Supergravity

The angular power spectrum is investigated in the model of supergravity, incorporating the target-space duality and the non-perturbative gaugino condensation in the hidden sector. The inflation and supersymmetry breaking occur at once by the interplay between the dilaton field as inflaton and the condensate gauge-singlet field. The model satisfies the slow-roll condition which solves the \eta-problem. When the particle rolls down along the minimized trajectory of the potential at a duality invariant fixed point T=1, we can obtain the e-fold value \sim 57. And then the cosmological parameters obtained from our model well match with the recent WMAP data combined with other experiments. The TT and TE angular power spectra also show that our model is compatible with the data for l > 20. However, the best fit value of \tau in our model is smaller than that of the \Lambda CDM model. These results suggest that, among supergravity models of inflation, the modular-invariant supergravity seems to open a hope to construct the realistic theory of particles and cosmology.

Weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPs) remain a prime candidate for the cosmological dark matter (DM), even in the absence of current collider signals that would unambiguously point to new physics below the TeV scale. The self-annihilation of these particles in astronomical targets may leave observable imprints in cosmic rays of various kinds. In this review, we focus on gamma rays which we argue to play a pronounced role among the various possible messengers. We discuss the most promising spectral and spatial signatures to look for, give an update on the current state of gamma-ray searches for DM and an outlook concerning future prospects. We also assess in some detail the implications of a potential signal identification for particle DM models as well as for our understanding of structure formation. Special emphasis is put on the possible evidence for a 130 GeV line-like signal that was recently identified in the data of the Fermi gamma-ray space telescope.

Leptogenesis is an attractive scenario in which neutrino masses and baryon asymmetry of the Universe are explained together under a minimal set of assumptions. After formulating the problem of initial conditions and introducing the strong thermal leptogenesis conditions as solution, we show that, within the framework provided by the \soten~model of leptogenesis, the latter lead to a set of testable predictions on the same neutrino parameters currently under experimental investigations. The emerging scenario selects the normal ordering of the neutrino mass pattern, a large value for the reactor mixing angle, $2\deg \lesssim \theta_{13} \lesssim 20\deg$, as well as a non maximal atmospheric mixing angle, $16\deg \lesssim \theta_{23} \lesssim 41\deg$, and favours negative values for the Dirac phase \delta. The signature of the proposed strong thermal \soten~solutions is in the relation obtained between the effective Majorana mass and the lightest neutrino mass: $m_{ee} \approx 0.8 \, m_1 \approx 15 $ meV.

When the Higgs field starts oscillation after Higgs inflation, gauge bosons are produced non-perturbatively near the Enhanced Symmetry Point (ESP). Just after the particle production, when the Higgs field is going away from the ESP, these gauge bosons gain mass and decay or annihilate into Standard Model (SM) fermions. Left-handed neutrinos can be generated in that way. If one assumes the see-saw mechanism, the mass matrix of a pair of left and right-handed neutrinos is non-diagonal. Although their mixing in the mass eigenstates is negligible in the true vacuum, it could be significant near the edge of the Higgs oscillation, where the off-diagonal component is large. Therefore, the left-handed neutrinos generated from the gauge bosons can start neutrino oscillation between the right-handed neutrinos. We study the particle production when such L-R neutrino oscillation is significant. For a working example, the non-thermal leptogenesis scenario after Higgs inflation is examined, which cannot be realized without the L-R neutrino oscillation. The same mechanism could be applied to other singlet particles whose abundance has been neglected.

We study the weak decays of exotic tetraquark states ${b\bar c}{q\bar q}$ with two heavy quarks. Under the SU(3) symmetry for light quarks, these tetraquarks can be classified into an octet plus a singlet: $3\bigotimes\bar 3=1\bigoplus8$. We will concentrate on the octet tetraquarks with $J^{P}=0^{+}$, and study their weak decays, both semileptonic and nonleptonic. Hadron-level effective Hamiltonian is constructed according to the irreducible representations of the SU(3) group. Expanding the Hamiltonian, we obtain the decay amplitudes parameterized in terms of a few irreducible quantities. Based on these amplitudes, relations for decay widths are derived, which can be tested in future. We also give a list of golden channels that can be used to look for these states at various colliders.

We explore the cosmological consequences of the superconductivity of QCD axion strings. Axion strings can support a sizeable chiral electric current and charge, which alters their early universe dynamics. Shrinking axion string loops can become effectively stable remnants called vortons, supported by the electromagnetic force of the string current. Generically, vortons produced by axion strings overclose the universe, unless there are efficient current leakage processes. Furthermore, if a primordial magnetic field (PMF) exists in the early universe, a large current is induced on axion strings, creating a significant drag force from interactions with the surrounding plasma. As a result, the strings are slowed down, which leads to an orders of magnitude enhancement in the number of strings per Hubble volume. Finally, we study the implications for the QCD axion relic abundance. The QCD axion window is shifted by orders of magnitude in some parts of our parameter space.

At this level the TPC's of interest are of the form s_s.[p_u X p_u(bar)] and s_s.[p_s X p_u].

We present the detailed derivation of the longitudinal part of the three-gluon vertex from the Slavnov-Taylor identities that it satisfies, by means of a nonperturbative implementation of the Ball-Chiu construction; the latter, in its original form, involves the inverse gluon propagator, the ghost dressing function, and certain form factors of the ghost-gluon kernel. The main conceptual subtlety that renders this endeavor nontrivial is the infrared finiteness of the gluon propagator, and the resulting need to separate the vertex into two pieces, one that is intimately connected with the emergence of a gluonic mass scale, and one that satisfies the original set of Slavnov-Taylor identities, but with the inverse gluon propagator replaced by its "kinetic" term. The longitudinal form factors obtained by this construction are presented for arbitrary Euclidean momenta, as well as special kinematic configurations, parametrized by a single momentum. A particularly preeminent feature of the components comprising the tree-level vertex is their considerable suppression for momenta below 1 GeV, and the appearance of the characteristic "zero-crossing" in the vicinity of 100-200 MeV. Special combinations of the form factors derived with this method are compared with the results of recent large-volume lattice simulations as well as Schwinger-Dyson equations, and good overall agreement is found. A variety of issues related to the distribution of the pole terms responsible for the gluon mass generation are discussed in detail, and their impact on the structure of the transverse parts is elucidated. In addition, a brief account of several theoretical and phenomenological possibilities involving these newly acquired results is presented.

We introduce a new approach for jet physics studies using subtracted cumulants of jet substructure observables, which are shown to be insensitive to contributions from soft-particle emissions uncorrelated with the hard process. Therefore subtracted cumulants allow comparisons between theoretical calculations and experimental measurements without the complication of large background contaminations such as underlying and pile-up events in hadron collisions. We test our method using subtracted jet mass cumulants by comparing Monte Carlo simulations to analytic calculations performed using soft-collinear effective theory. We find that, for proton-proton collisions, the method efficiently eliminates contributions from multiparton interactions and pile-up events. We also find within theoretical uncertainty our analytic calculations are in good agreement with the subtracted cumulants calculated by using ATLAS jet mass measurements.

We apply the perturbative QCD factorization theorem developed recently for nonleptonic heavy meson decays to the radiative decay $B\to K^*\gamma$. In this formalism the evolution of the Wilson coefficients from the $W$ boson mass down to the characteristic scale of the decay process is governed by the effective weak Hamiltonian. The evolution from the characteristic scale to a lower hadronic scale is formulated by the Sudakov resummation. Besides computing the dominant contribution arising from the magnetic-penguin operator $O_7$, we also calculate the contributions of four-quark operators. By fitting our prediction for the branching ratio of the $B\to K^*\gamma$ decay to the CLEO data, we determine the $B$ meson wave function, that possesses a sharp peak at a low momentum fraction.

The standard analytic solution of the renormalization group (RG) evolution for the $\Delta S = 1$ Wilson coefficients involves several singularities, which complicate analytic solutions. In this paper we derive a singularity-free solution of the next-to-leading order (NLO) RG equations, which greatly facilitates the calculation of $\epsilon_K^{\prime}$, the measure of direct $CP$ violation in $K\to \pi\pi$ decays. Using our new RG evolution and the latest lattice results for the hadronic matrix elements, we calculate the ratio $\epsilon_{K}^{\prime}/\epsilon_{K}$ (with $\epsilon_{K}$ quantifying indirect $CP$ violation) in the Standard Model (SM) at NLO to $\epsilon_{K}^{\prime}/\epsilon_{K} = (1.06 \pm 5.07) \times 10^{-4} $, which is $2.8\,\sigma$ below the experimental value. We also present the evolution matrix in the high-energy regime for calculations of new physics contributions and derive easy-to-use approximate formulae. We find that the RG amplification of new-physics contributions to Wilson coefficients of the electroweak penguin operators is further enhanced by the NLO corrections: If the new contribution is generated at the scale of 1-10 TeV, the RG evolution between the new-physics scale and the electroweak scale enhances these coefficients by 50-100 %. Our solution contains a term of order $\alpha_{EM}^2/\alpha_s^2$, which is numerically unimportant for the SM case but should be included in studies of high-scale new-physics.

Unitarity cannot be perserved order by order in ordinary perturbation theory because the constraint $UU^\dagger=\1$ is nonlinear. However, the corresponding constraint for $K=\ln U$, being $K=-K^\dagger$, is linear so it can be maintained in every order in a perturbative expansion of $K$. The perturbative expansion of $K$ may be considered as a non-abelian generalization of the linked-cluster expansion in probability theory and in statistical mechanics, and possesses similar advantages resulting from separating the short-range correlations from long-range effects. This point is illustrated in two QCD examples, in which delicate cancellations encountered in summing Feynman diagrams of are avoided when they are calculated via the perturbative expansion of $K$. Applications to other problems are briefly discussed.

We consider the possibility that a large fraction of the ultrahigh energy cosmic rays are decay products of Z bosons which were produced in the scattering of ultrahigh energy cosmic neutrinos on cosmological relic neutrinos. We compare the observed ultrahigh energy cosmic ray spectrum with the one predicted in the above Z-burst scenario and determine the required mass of the heaviest relic neutrino as well as the necessary ultrahigh energy cosmic neutrino flux via a maximum likelihood analysis. We show that the value of the neutrino mass obtained in this way is fairly robust against variations in presently unknown quantities, like the amount of neutrino clustering, the universal radio background, and the extragalactic magnetic field, within their anticipated uncertainties. Much stronger systematics arises from different possible assumptions about the diffuse background of ordinary cosmic rays from unresolved astrophysical sources. In the most plausible case that these ordinary cosmic rays are protons of extragalactic origin, one is lead to a required neutrino mass in the range 0.08 eV - 1.3 eV at the 68 % confidence level. This range narrows down considerably if a particular universal radio background is assumed, e.g. to 0.08 eV - 0.40 eV for a large one. The required flux of ultrahigh energy cosmic neutrinos near the resonant energy should be detected in the near future by AMANDA, RICE, and the Pierre Auger Observatory, otherwise the Z-burst scenario will be ruled out.

We present a unified picture which studies simultaneously the gamma gamma--> pi^+ pi^-, pi^0 pi^0,K^+ K^-, K^0 bar{K}^0, pi^0 eta reactions up to about sqrt(s)=1.4 GeV reproducing the experimental cross sections. The present work implements in an accurate way the final state interactions of the meson-meson system, which is shown to be essential in order to reproduce the data, particularly the L=0 channel. This latter channel is treated here following a recent theoretical work in which the meson-meson amplitudes are well reproduced and the f_0, a_0, sigma resonances show up clearly as poles of the t matrix. The present work, as done in earlier ones, also incorporates elements of chiral symmetry and exchange of vector and axial resonances in the crossed channels, as well as a direct coupling to the f_2(1270) and a_2(1320) resonances. We also evaluate the decay width of the f_0(980) and a_0(980) resonances into the gamma-gamma channel.

We discuss the effect of nonextensivity of the emitting source on the Bose-Einstein correlations (BEC). This is done numerically by comparing cascade hadronization model (CAS), which is known to exhibit fractal structure in both space-time and phase-space, with its equivalent obtained from the information theory approach (MaxEnt), in which hadronization proceeds uniformly in the phase-space. To this end we have developed a new method of accounting for BEC in Monte Carlo event generators, which preserves all kinematics of the hadronization process.

Supersymmetric (SUSY) models with R-parity generically predict sparticle decays with invisible neutralinos, which yield distinctive missing energy events at colliders. Since most LHC searches are designed with this expectation, the putative bounds on sparticle masses become considerably weaker if R-parity is violated so that squarks and gluinos decay to jets with large QCD backgrounds. Here we introduce a scenario in which baryonic R-parity violation (RPV) arises effectively from soft SUSY-breaking interactions, but leptonic RPV remains accidentally forbidden to evade constraints from proton decay and FCNCs. The model features a global R-symmetry that initially forbids RPV interactions, a hidden R-breaking sector, and a heavy mediator that communicates this breaking to the visible sector. After R-symmetry breaking, the mediator is integrated out and an effective RPV A-term arises at tree level; RPV couplings between quarks and squarks arise only at loop level and receive additional suppression. Although this mediator must be heavy compared to soft masses, the model introduces no new hierarchy since viable RPV can arise when the mediator mass is near the SUSY breaking scale. In generic regions of parameter space, a light thermally-produced gravitino is stable and can be a viable dark matter candidate.

The method we develop allows of contributions of any partial wave in the total angular momentum J in contrast to partial wave analyses in terms of the orbital angular momentum L of the initial state, which is usually truncated to p-waves, and yields very accurate results. The method is formulated in such a way as to allow easy handling of CP-violating phases residing in supersymmetric parameters. We apply this refined partial wave technique in order to calculate the neutralino relic density in the constrained MSSM (CMSSM) in the presence of CP-violating terms occurring in the Higgs - mixing parameter \mu and trilinear A coupling for large tanb. The inclusion of CP-violating phases in mu and A does not upset significantly the picture and the annihilation of the LSP's to a b b_bar, through Higgs exchange, is still the dominant mechanism in obtaining cosmologically acceptable neutralino relic densities in regions far from the stau-coannihilation and the `focus point'. Significant changes can occur if we allow for phases in the gaugino masses and in particular the gluino mass.

The Coulomb scattering between three charged pions is shown to be perturbatively calculable using scalar QED for the relative momenta accessible to high-energy experiments of particle collisions. For the triplet relative momenta, $Q_3 \gtrsim 50$ MeV/$c$, the calculated three-pion correlation function at $O(\alpha^2)$ is very similar to the commonly-used triple-product of pair factors -- Riverside approximation. At lower $Q_3$, but above the lowest existing experimental measurement of $\sim15$ MeV/$c$, terms of $O(\alpha^3)$ or higher are needed to obtain a convincing description of three-pion Coulomb interactions. This is in contrast to two-pion correlations, for which the known exact solution is shown to be saturated by the lower orders at comparable pair relative momenta.

We discuss the potential information about highly excited QCD-matter provided by medium-induced partonic energy loss, known as ``jet quenching''. In particular, with its large acceptance hadronic and electromagnetic calorimetry, the Compact Muon Solenoid detector at LHC collider is a promising device to study these effects. We present physics simulations of observables such as the jet distribution with impact parameter, the azimuthal anisotropy of jet quenching, and the effects of b-quark energy loss on the high-mass dimuon continuum and secondary charmonium production.

In an effective operator approach, the full set of leading contributions to anomalous top couplings comprises various new trilinear as well as higher interaction vertices, some of which are related to one another by gauge symmetry or equations of motion. In order to study trilinear top couplings to SM gauge bosons such as ttA, ttZ, tbW and ttg, the operator set can be restricted accordingly. However, the complete basis cannot be mapped onto an on-shell parametrisation of the trilinear vertices alone. Four-fermion contact terms qqtt and udtb must be included if the relation to the operator basis is to be retained. In this paper, we point out how these interactions contribute to the single top search channels for anomalous trilinear tbW couplings at the LHC and Tevatron, thus affecting the corresponding bounds. All results are based on full leading-order partonic matrix elements, thus automatically accounting for off-shell and interference effects as well as irreducible backgrounds. A discussion of the quantitative effects of going from on-shell tops to full matrix elements including acceptance cuts is also provided.

In the QCD Sum Rule determination of $m_s$ using the two-point correlator of divergences of $\Delta S=1$ vector currents, the final uncertainty on $m_s$ is mainly due to the hadronic spectral function. Using a specific parameterization which fully takes into account the available experimental data on the $K \pi$ ($I=1/2, J^P=0^+)$ system, characterized by the presence of a relevant nonresonant component in addition to the resonant one, we find ${\bar m_s}(1 GeV)\ge 120 MeV$. In particular, varying only the parameters describing the nonresonant $K \pi$ component and $\Lambda_{\bar {MS}}^{n_f=3}$ we obtain ${\bar m_s}(1 GeV)=125 - 160 MeV$. This result is smaller than analogous ones obtained by using a parameterization in terms of only resonant states. We discuss how to systematically improve the determination of $m_s$ by this method.

Kurie-plot experiments allow for neutrino-mass measurements based on kinematics in an almost model-independent manner. A future tritium-based KATRIN-like experiment can be sensitive to light sterile neutrinos with masses below 18 keV, which are among the prime candidates for warm dark matter. Here we consider such keV neutrinos in left--right symmetric extensions, i.e. coupled to right-handed currents, which allow for an enhanced contribution to beta decay even for small active--sterile mixing, without violating astrophysical X-ray constraints. The modified spectral shape is in principle distinguishable from the standard contribution---especially for sterile neutrino masses below 9 keV, which can lead to a distinct peak. We compare the sensitivity to constraints from the LHC and neutrinoless double beta decay.

The resummed NLO evolution equation is shown to be stable, the evolution speed being significantly reduced by higher order corrections. The contributions from $\alpha_s^2$ terms that are not enhanced by large logarithms are found to be numerically important close to phenomenologically relevant initial conditions.

Focusing on the continuum meson bound-state problem, a novel method is used to calculate closed-form Bethe-Salpeter kernels that are symmetry consistent with any reasonable gluon-quark vertex, $\Gamma_\nu$, and therewith deliver a Poincar\'e-invariant treatment of the spectrum and decay constants of the ground- and first-excited states of $u$, $d$, $s$ mesons. The predictions include masses of as-yet unseen states and many unmeasured decay constants. The analysis reveals that a realistic, unified description of meson properties (including level orderings and mass splittings) requires a sound expression of emergent hadron mass in bound-state kernels; alternatively, that such properties may reveal much about the emergence of mass in the standard model.

We present a new class of models that stabilize the weak scale against radiative corrections up to scales of order 5 TeV without large corrections to precision electroweak observables. In these `folded supersymmetric' theories the one loop quadratic divergences of the Standard Model Higgs field are cancelled by opposite spin partners, but the gauge quantum numbers of these new particles are in general different from those of the conventional superpartners. This class of models is built around the correspondence that exists in the large N limit between the correlation functions of supersymmetric theories and those of their non-supersymmetric orbifold daughters. By identifying the mechanism which underlies the cancellation of one loop quadratic divergences in these theories, we are able to construct simple extensions of the Standard Model which are radiatively stable at one loop. Ultraviolet completions of these theories can be obtained by imposing suitable boundary conditions on an appropriate supersymmetric higher dimensional theory compactified down to four dimensions. We construct a specific model based on these ideas which stabilizes the weak scale up to about 20 TeV and where the states which cancel the top loop are scalars not charged under Standard Model color. Its collider signatures are distinct from conventional supersymmetric theories and include characteristic events with hard leptons and missing energy.

At the LHC a precise measurement of the Higgs boson mass (if discovered), at the level of 0.1-1%, will be possible through the channel g g --> H --> 4l for a wide range of Higgs mass values. To match such an accuracy, the systematic effects induced by QED corrections need to be investigated. In the present study the calculation of O(alpha) and higher order QED corrections is illustrated as well as their impact on the Higgs mass determination, once realistic event selection criteria for charged leptons and photons are considered.

It has been stated in the literature that the case of maximal mixing angle for \nu_e leads to no day-night effect for solar neutrinos and an energy independent flux suppression of 1/2. While the case of maximal mixing angle and \Delta m^2 in the MSW range does lead to suppression of the electron neutrinos reaching the earth from the sun by P_S=1/2, the situation is different for neutrinos that have passed through the earth. We make the pedagogical point that, just as with smaller mixing angles, the earth regenerates the |\nu_1> state from the predominantly |\nu_2 > state reaching the earth, leading to coherent interference effects. This regeneration can lead to a day-night effect and an energy dependence of the suppression of solar electron neutrinos, even for the case of maximal mixing. For large mixing angles, the energy dependence of the day-night asymmetry depends heavily on Delta m^2. With a sufficiently sensitive measurement of the day-night effect, this energy dependence could be used to distinguish among the large mixing angle solutions of the solar neutrino problem.

The experiments on verification of the Kibble-Zurek mechanism showed that topological defects are formed most efficiently in the systems of small size or low (quasi-)dimensionality, whereas in the macroscopic two- and three-dimensional samples a concentration of the defects, as a rule, is strongly suppressed. A reason for universality of such behavior can be revealed by considering a strongly-nonequilibrium symmetry-breaking phase transition in the simplest phi-4 field model. It is shown that the resulting distribution of the defects (domain walls) is formally reduced to the well-known Ising model, whose behavior changes dramatically in passing from a finite to infinite size of the system and from the low (D=1) to higher (D>=2) dimensionality.

The experiments on verification of the Kibble-Zurek mechanism showed that topological defects are formed most efficiently in the systems of small size or low (quasi-)dimensionality, whereas in the macroscopic two- and three-dimensional samples a concentration of the defects, as a rule, is strongly suppressed. A reason for universality of such behavior can be revealed by considering a strongly-nonequilibrium symmetry-breaking phase transition in the simplest phi-4 field model. It is shown that the resulting distribution of the defects (domain walls) is formally reduced to the well-known Ising model, whose behavior changes dramatically in passing from a finite to infinite size of the system and from the low (D=1) to higher (D>=2) dimensionality.

We present a method which relies on loop contributions from four-top SMEFT operators to single Higgs observables to contrain their Wilson coefficients. Such loop-induced terms have a non-trivial interplay with the extraction of the trilinear Higgs coupling. We show that this strategy can, for some operators, lead to more stringent bounds than direct measurement via top quark data. Finally, we mention some recent developements in the treatment of $\gamma_5$ in dimensional regularisation in the context of the SMEFT.

Neutrino gases are expected to form in high density astrophysical environments, and accurately modeling their flavor evolution is critical to understanding such environments. In this work we study a simplified model of such a dense neutrino gas in the regime for which neutrino-neutrino coherent forward scattering is the dominant mechanism contributing to the flavor evolution. We show evidence that the generic potential induced by this effect is non-integrable and that the statistics of its energy level spaces are in good agreement with the Wigner surmise. We also find that individual neutrinos rapidly entangle with all of the others present which results in an equilibration of the flavor content of individual neutrinos. We show that the average neutrino flavor content can be predicted utilizing a thermodynamic partition function. A random phase approximation to the evolution gives a simple picture of this equilibration. In the case of neutrinos and antineutrinos, processes like $\nu_e {\bar{\nu}}_e \leftrightarrows \nu_\mu {\bar{\nu}_\mu} $ yield a rapid equilibrium satisfying $n( \nu_e) n({\bar \nu}_e) = n( \nu_\mu) n({\bar \nu}_\mu) = n( \nu_\tau) n({\bar \nu}_\tau)$ in addition to the standard lepton number conservation in regimes where off-diagonal vacuum oscillations are small compared to $\nu-\nu$ interactions.

The search for heavy Higgs bosons at the LHC represents an intense experimental program, carried out by the ATLAS and CMS collaborations, which includes the hunt for invisible Higgs decays and dark matter candidates. No significant deviations from the SM backgrounds have been observed in any of these searches, imposing significant constraints on the parameter space of different new physics models with an extended Higgs sector. Here we discuss an alternative search strategy for heavy Higgs bosons decaying invisibly at the LHC, focusing on the pair production of a heavy scalar $H$ together with a pseudoscalar $A$, through the production mode $q \bar q \to Z^\ast \to HA$. We identify as the most promising signal the final state made up of $4b + E_T^\text{miss}$, coming from the heavy scalar decay mode $H \to hh \to b \bar b b \bar b$, with $h$ being the discovered SM-like Higgs boson with $m_h=125$ GeV, together with the invisible channel of the pseudoscalar. We work within the context of simplified MSSM scenarios that contain quite heavy sfermions of most types with ${\cal O}(10)$ TeV masses, while the stops are heavy enough to reproduce the 125 GeV mass for the lightest SM-like Higgs boson. By contrast, the gauginos/higgsinos and the heavy MSSM Higgs bosons have masses near the EW scale. Our search strategies, for a LHC center-of-mass energy of $\sqrt{s} =$ 14 TeV, allow us to obtain statistical significances of the signal over the SM backgrounds with values up to $\sim$ 1.6$\sigma$ and $\sim$ 3$\sigma$, for total integrated luminosities of 300 fb$^{-1}$ and 1000 fb$^{-1}$, respectively.

It has been argued that the mystery boson X(3872) is a molecule state consisting of primarily D0-D0*bar + D0bar-D*0. In contrast, apparent puzzles and potential difficulties have been pointed out for the charmonium assignment of X(3872). We examine several aspects of these alternatives by semiquantitative methods since quantitatively accurate results are often hard to reach on them. We find that some of the observed properties of X(3872), in particualr, the binding and the production rates are incompatible with the molecule interpretation. Despite puzzles and obstacles, X(3872) may fit more likely to the excited triplet P_1 charmonium than to the molecule after mixing of cc-bar with DD*-bar +Dbar-D* is taken into account. One simple experimental test is pointed out for distinguishing between a charmonium and an isospin-mixed molecule in the neutral B decay.

The behaviour of the quark coefficient functions in deep-inelastic scattering is investigated for large values of the Bjorken variable x. By combining results of soft-gluon resummation and fixed-order calculations, we determine the coefficients of the four leading large-x logarithms, alpha_s^k [{ln(1-x)}^{2k-l}/(1-x)]_+, l = 1, ...4, to all orders in the strong coupling constant alpha_s. This result includes two more terms for the three-loop coefficient functions than previously specified in the literature. The effect of the fifth logarithmic contribution is approximately evaluated. The terms derived here are required, but also seem to be sufficient, for a reliable representation of the coefficient functions at large x.

We argue that it is possible to address the deeper LHC Inverse Problem, to gain insight into the underlying theory from LHC signatures of new physics. We propose a technique which may allow us to distinguish among, and favor or disfavor, various classes of underlying theoretical constructions using (assumed) new physics signals at the LHC. We think that this can be done with limited data $(5-10 fb^{-1})$, and improved with more data. This is because of two reasons -- a) it is possible in many cases to reliably go from (semi)realistic microscopic string construction to the space of experimental observables, say, LHC signatures. b) The patterns of signatures at the LHC are sensitive to the structure of the underlying theoretical constructions. We illustrate our approach by analyzing two promising classes of string compactifications along with six other string-motivated constructions. Even though these constructions are not complete, they illustrate the point we want to emphasize. We think that using this technique effectively over time can eventually help us to meaningfully connect experimental data to microscopic theory.

In this work we reappraise the collider constraints from leptonic final states on the vectorlike colored top partners taking into account the impact of exotic colored vector resonances. These colored states are intrinsic to a broad class of models that employ a strongly interacting sector to drive electroweak symmetry breaking. We translate the recent results in the {\sl monolepton + jets} channel as reported by CMS with an integrated luminosity of 35.8 fb$^{-1}$, and {\sl dilepton + jets} and {\sl trilepton + jets} channels as reported by ATLAS with an integrated luminosity of 36.1 fb$^{-1}$ to constrain the parameter space of these class of models. We also comment on the impact and modification of the derived constraints due to the expected fatness of the colored vector resonance, when accounted for beyond the narrow-width approximation by simulating the full one-particle irreducible resummed propagator.

We discuss the determination of the CKM parameters from the forthcoming $CP$ violation observables in $B_s \to K^+ K^-$ decays. Combining the information on mixing induced CP violation in $B_s \to K^+ K^-$, with the $B_d \to J/\psi K_s$ precision observable $\sin 2\beta$ and the $B^0_s$--$\bar{B^0_s}$ mixing phase $\phi_s$, we propose a determination of the unitarity triangle $(\bar\rho, \bar\eta)$. Computing the penguin parameters $(r, \theta)$ within QCD factorization yield precise determination of $(\bar\rho, \bar\eta)$, reflected by a weak dependence on the $\theta$ which is shown as a second order effect. The impact of the direct CP violation observable $C_{KK}$ on the penguin parameters are investigated and a lower bound on $C_{KK}$ is extracted. We also discuss the effect of the $B^0_s$--$\bar{B^0_s}$ new physics mixing phase on the penguin parameters $(r, \theta)$ and $S_{KK}$. Using the SU(3)-flavour symmetry argument and the current $B$-factories data provided by the $B_d \to \pi^+ \pi^-$ modes, we complement the $B_s \to K^+ K^-$ CP-violating observables in a variety of ways, in particular we find that $S_{KK}>0$. Finally we analyze systematically the SU(3)-symmetry breaking factor within QCD factorization.

The new MEG bound on BR(\mu\to e\gamma) provides the strongest upper bound on the scale of gauge mediation of supersymmetry breaking. If, in the future, this decay is observed by MEG, the mediation scale will become known to within one order of magnitude, and the seesaw scale will be constrained. In such a case, contributions from Planck mediated supersymmetry breaking are likely to be non-negligible, and an interpretation in terms of purely seesaw parameters will be impossible. The recent evidence for |U_{e3}|~0.15 further sharpens the predictions of gauge mediated supersymmetry breaking.

Strong transient magnetic fields are generated in non-central relativistic heavy-ion collisions. These fields induce anisotropy within the strongly interacting medium that, in principle, can affect the thermodynamic properties of the medium. We use the Polyakov loop extended Nambu Jona-Lasinio model to study the quark matter subjected to an external magnetic field at vanishing baryon chemical potential ($\mu_{B}$). We have estimated the degree of anisotropy in the speed of sound and isothermal compressibility within the magnetized quark matter as a function of temperature ($T$) and magnetic field ($eB$). This study helps us to understand the extent of directionality generated in the initial stages of non-central collisions while giving us useful information about the system.

This study provides the first complete prediction of the $W^+ W^-$ semi-exclusive cross section, as well as the breakdown between elastic and proton dissociative channels. It combines the structure function calculation for a precise modelling of the region of low momentum transfers with a parton-level calculation in the region of high momentum transfers. The survival factor probability of no additional proton-proton interactions is fully accounted for, including its kinematic and process dependence. We analyse in detail the role that the pure photon-initiated ($\gamma\gamma \to W^+ W^-$) subprocess plays, a comparison that is only viable by working in the electroweak axial gauge. In this way, we find that the dominance of this is not complete in the proton dissociative cases, although once $Z$-initiated production is included a significantly better matching to the complete calculation is achieved. A direct consequence of this is that the relative elastic, single and double dissociative fractions are in general different in comparison to the case of lepton pair production. We present a direct comparison to the recent ATLAS data on semi-exclusive $W^+ W^-$ production, finding excellent agreement within uncertainties. Our calculation is provided in the publicly available SuperChic 4.1 Monte Carlo (MC) generator, and can be passed to a general purpose MC for showering and hadronization of the final state.

We study the lepton flavor violation (LFV), the leptonic magnetic moments $(g-2)_{\mu,\,e} $ and the electric dipole moment (EDM) of the electron in the Standard-Model Effective Field Theory with the $\Gamma_N$ modular flavor symmetry. We employ the stringy Ansatz on coupling structure that 4-point couplings of matter fields are written by a product of 3-point couplings of matter fields. We take the level 3 finite modular group, $\Gamma_3$ for the flavor symmetry, and discuss the dipole operators at nearby fixed point $\tau=i$, where observed lepton masses and mixing angles are well reproduced. Suppose the anomaly of the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon to be evidence of the new physics (NP), we have related it with $(g-2)_{e}$, LFV decays, and the electron EDM. It is found that the NP contribution to $(g-2)_{e}$ is proportional to the lepton masses squared likewise the naive scaling. We also discuss the correlations among the LFV processes $\mu\to e\gamma$, $\tau\to \mu\gamma$ and $\tau\to e\gamma$, which are testable in the future. The electron EDM requires the tiny imaginary part of the relevant Wilson coefficient in the basis of real positive charged lepton masses, which is related to the $\mu\to e\gamma$ transition in our framework.

We discuss selectron pair production in e- e- scattering. These processes can only occur via t-channel neutralino exchange, provided that the neutralinos are Majorana fermions. We concentrate on the processes e- e- -> e^~_L e^~_L,e^~_R e^~_R -> e- X^~_1^0 e- X^~_2^0 -> e- X^~_1^0 e- X^~_1^0 f f, in which a complete determination of the final state momenta is possible without using the selectron masses as input. The experimental reconstruction of the selectron masses in this decay channel provides clear evidence of the Majorana character of the neutralinos, which is confirmed by the analysis of the electron energy spectrum.

Within the framework of the Lee Wick Standard Model (LWSM) we investigate Higgs pair production $gg \to h_0 h_0$, $gg \to h_0 \tilde p_0$ and top pair production $gg \to \bar tt$ at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), where the neutral particles from the Higgs sector ($h_0$, $\tilde h_0$ and $\tilde p_0$) appear as possible resonant intermediate states. We investigate the signal $gg \to h_0 h_0 \to \bar b b \gamma \gamma$ and we find that the LW Higgs, depending on its mass-range, can be seen not long after the LHC upgrade in 2012. More precisely this happens when the new LW Higgs states are below the top pair threshold. In $gg \to \bar tt$ the LW states, due to the wrong-sign propagator and negative width, lead to a dip-peak structure instead of the usual peak-dip structure which gives a characteristic signal especially for low-lying LW Higgs states. We comment on the LWSM and the forward-backward asymmetry in view of the measurement at the TeVatron. Furthermore, we present a technique which reduces the hyperbolic diagonalization to standard diagonalization methods. We clarify issues of spurious phases in the Yukawa sector.

The CP-violating asymmetries in the exclusive decay B->K^*l^+l^- (l=e,mu,tau) are predicted to be exceedingly small in the standard model (SM), thereby offering an opportunity to assess various new-physics scenarios. We derive quantitative predictions for various integrated observables in B->K^*mu^+mu^- decay in the presence of physics beyond the SM with additional CP phases and an extended operator basis. In particular, a model-independent analysis of CP asymmetries that require the presence of unitarity phases, in addition to CP violation, is performed. We find that in the low dimuon invariant mass region 2m_mu<M_{mu^+mu^-}<M_{J/psi}, the CP asymmetries are highly suppressed by small dynamical phases, assuming that new physics is unlikely to significantly alter the Wilson coefficients of the operators governing two-body hadronic B decays. Taking into account current experimental data on the measured b->s gamma rate and the upper limit on BR(B^0->K^{*0}mu^+mu^-), CP-violating effects of a few per cent are estimated, even in the presence of new physics with CP phases of O(1). By contrast, in the high dimuon invariant mass region M_{psi'}<M_{mu^+mu^-}<(M_B-M_{K^*}) significant CP-violating effects are possible. Given a branching ratio of 1.8 x 10^{-6}, the CP asymmetries can be quite substantial (\sim 20% or more), and thus may serve as a means of discovering physics transcending the SM.

The empirical absence to date of particles obeying parastatistics in high energy collider experiments might be due to their large masses and lack of gauge couplings. If there is a portal to such particles, they might be cascade emitted as a pair of para-Majorana neutrinos or as a pair of scalar paraparticles. In this paper, for an assumed portal Lagrangian, the associated parastatistical factors are obtained for the case of order p=2 parastatistics and the, in general differing factors, for the cases of emission of a non-degenerate or a degenerate pair of particles which obey normal statistics.

We consider the electromagnetic decays of the orbitally-excited SU(6) 70-plet baryons, to compare the predictions of the naive quark model with those of large-N_c QCD. The helicity amplitudes measured in N^* photoproduction are computed in a large-N_c effective field theory, based on a Hartree approximation, and the amplitudes are fit to the current experimental data. Our results indicate that the success of the naive quark model predictions cannot be explained by large-N_c arguments alone. This is consistent with the conclusions of an earlier study of the N^*\to N\pi decays, that utilized the same approach.

We discuss a rate asymmetry for the radiative $B$-meson decay $B \to X_s \gamma$ within the framework of the supersymmetric standard model based on N=1 supergravity. This model contains new sources of CP violation. In spite of severe experimental constraints on the electric dipole moment of the neutron, a new CP-violating phase may not be suppressed, leading to a sizable enhancement of the decay rate asymmetry. The magnitude of the asymmetry is predicted to be larger than that by the standard model in wide parameter regions where the branching ratio is consistent with its experimental bounds. A possible maximal magnitude is about 0.1, which will be well accessible at B factories.

In spite of severe experimental constraints on the electric dipole moment of the neutron, a new CP-violating phase may not be suppressed, leading to a sizable enhancement of the decay rate asymmetry. The magnitude of the asymmetry is predicted to be larger than that by the standard model in wide parameter regions where the branching ratio is consistent with its experimental bounds. A possible maximal magnitude is about 0.1, which will be well accessible at B factories.

The Higgs doublet can mediate a long-range interaction between multi-TeV particles coupled to the Weak interactions of the Standard Model, while its emission can lead to very rapid bound-state formation processes and bound-to-bound transitions. Using the rates calculated in a companion paper, here we compute the thermal decoupling of multi-TeV WIMP dark matter coupled to the Higgs, and show that the formation of metastable dark matter bound states via Higgs-doublet emission and their decay decrease the relic density very significantly. This in turn implies that WIMP dark matter may be much heavier than previously anticipated, or conversely that for a given mass, the dark matter couplings to the Higgs may be much lower than previously predicted, thereby altering the dark matter phenomenology. While we focus on a minimal singlet-doublet model in the coannihilation regime, our calculations can be extended to larger multiplets where the effects under consideration are expected to be even more significant.

We discuss the radial spectrum of light scalar mesons in the framework of spectral sum rules in the large-Nc (planar) limit of QCD. Two methods based on the use of linear radial Regge trajectories are presented. A special emphasis is placed on the appearance of scalar isoscalar state near 0.5 GeV. Within the considered sum rules, the existence of this meson (which could be a large-Nc counterpart to the sigma-meson) is closely related with existence of resonances in the vector channels and on the radial scalar trajectory.

We directly fit the experimentally measured energy dependence of the average value of 1-Thrust, <1-T>, over the e^+e^- centre-of-mass energy range Q=14 - 172 GeV to the QCD expectation obtained by integrating up the evolution equation for d<1-T>/dlog Q in terms of <1-T>. We fit for Lambda_QCD, uncalculated O(alpha_S^3) and higher perturbative corrections parameterized by the scheme invariant rho_2, and the parameter lambda which characterizes the magnitude of the leading 1/Q power corrections anticipated for <1-T>. A 3-parameter fit yields Lambda_QCD=245^{+20}_{-17} MeV, rho_2=-16\pm 11 and lambda=0.27^{+0.12}_{-0.10} GeV, equivalent to alpha_S(M_Z)=0.1194 \pm 0.0014. In this approach, there is no error associated with the choice of the renormalization scale mu.

One of the main purposes of long-baseline neutrino experiments is to unambiguously measure the CP violating phase in the neutrino sector within the three neutrino oscillation picture. In the presence of physics beyond the Standard Model, the determination of the CP phase will be more difficult, due to the already known degeneracy problem. Working in the framework of non-standard interactions (NSI), we compute the appearance probabilities in an exact analytical formulation and analyze the region of parameters where the confusion problem is present. We also discuss some cases where the falsification of the NSI parameters can be done in long-baseline experiments.

We present the results of a Bayesian analysis of solar neutrino data in terms of nu_e->nu_{mu,tau} oscillations, independent from the Standard Solar Model predictions for the solar neutrino fluxes. We show that such a model independent analysis allows to constraint the values of the neutrino mixing parameters in limited regions around the usual SMA, LMA, LOW and VO regions. Furthermore, there is a strong indication in favor of large neutrino mixing and large values of Delta m^2 (LMA region). We calculate also the allowed ranges of the neutrino fluxes and we show that they are in good agreement with the Standard Solar Model prediction. In particular, the ratio of the 8B flux with its Standard Solar Model prediction is constrained in the interval [0.45,1.42] with 99.73% probability. Finally, we show that the hypothesis of no neutrino oscillations is strongly disfavored in a model independent way with respect to the hypothesis of neutrino oscillations.

Effects of strong longitudinal color electric fields (SCF) on the open charm production in nucleus-nucleus (A + A) collisions at 200A GeV are investigated within the framework of the HIJING-BBbar v2.0 model. A three fold increase of the effective string tension due to in medium effects in A + A collisions, results in a sizeable (60-70 percents) enhancement of the total charm production cross sections. The nuclear modification factors show a suppression at moderate transverse momentum consistent with RHIC data. At Large Hadron Collider energies the model predicts an increase of total charm production cross sections by approximately an order of magnitude.

Astrophysical neutrinos are powerful tools to investigate the fundamental properties of particle physics through their flavor content. In this paper, we perform the first general new physics study on ultra high energy neutrino flavor content by introducing effective operators. We find that at the current limits on these operators, new physics terms cause maximal effects on the flavor content, however, the flavor content at Earth is confined to a region related to the assumed initial flavor content. Furthermore, we conclude that a precise measure of the flavor content at Earth will provide orders of magnitude improvement on new physics bounds. Finally, we discuss the current best fits of flavor content of the IceCube data and their interplay with new physics scenarios.

While the much discussed lepton-number violating process $e^-e^-\rightarrow W_R^-W_R^-$ provides an excellent probe of both the Majorana nature of the right-handed neutrino and the symmetry breaking sector of the Left-Right Symmetric Model, it is likely that $W_R$'s are too massive to be pair produced at the NLC with $\sqrt {s}$ in the 1-1.5 TeV range. We are thus lead to consider the single $W_R$ production process $e^-e^-\rightarrow W_R^-(W_R^-)^* \rightarrow W_R^-+jj$ in order to expand the collider's kinematic reach. After pointing out that $W_R$'s with masses of order 1 TeV may be missed by future hadron collider searches, we demonstrate that this three-body process possesses a significant cross section, of order several fb, at the NLC with $\sqrt {s}$ in the range above. The angular distribution of the produced $W_R$'s is shown to be essentially flat and the potential backgrounds from standard model processes are shown to be small.

Since the final state neutrino escapes detection, one cannot tell whether this process violates lepton number, what would indicate a Majorana character for the intermediate sterile neutrino. Our study shows that when the sterile neutrino mixings with electrons and muons are different enough, one can still discriminate between the Dirac and Majorana character of this intermediate neutrino by simply counting and comparing the above decay rates. After performing collider simulations and statistical analysis, we find that at the $14~\text{TeV}$ LHC with an integrated luminosity of $3000~\text{fb}^{-1}$, for two benchmark scenarios $m_N$ = 20 GeV and 50 GeV, at least a $3\sigma$ level of exclusion on the Dirac case can be achieved for disparities as mild as e.g. $|U_{Ne}|^2 < 0.7~ |U_{N\mu}|^2$ or $|U_{N\mu}|^2 < 0.7~ |U_{N e}|^2$, provided that $|U_{Ne}|^2$, $|U_{N\mu}|^2$ are both above $\sim 2\times 10^{-6}$.

The equation of state for quark matter is derived for a nonlocal, chiral quark model within the mean field approximation. We investigate the effects of a variation of the form factors of the interaction on the phase diagram of quark matter under the condition of beta-equilibrium and charge neutrality. Special emphasis is on the occurrence of a diquark condensate which signals a phase transition to color superconductivity and its effects on the equation of state. We calculate the quark star configurations by solving the Tolman- Oppenheimer- Volkoff equations and obtain for the transition from a hot, normal quark matter core of a protoneutron star to a cool diquark condensed one a release of binding energy of the order of Delta M c^2 ~ 10^{53} erg. We study the consequences of antineutrino trapping in hot quark matter for quark star configurations with possible diquark condensation and discuss the claim that this energy could serve as an engine for explosive phenomena. A "phase diagram" for rotating compact stars (angular velocity-baryon mass plane) is suggested as a heuristic tool for obtaining constraints on the equation of state of QCD at high densities. It has a critical line dividing hadronic from quark core stars which is correlated with a local maximum of the moment of inertia and can thus be subject to experimental verification by observation of the rotational behavior of accreting compact stars.

Location of critical point and mapping the QCD phase boundary still exists as one of the most interesting and studied problems of heavy-ion physics. A new equation of state (EOS) for a gas of extended baryons and pointlike mesons is presented here which accounts for the repulsive hard-core interactions arising due to the geometrical size of the baryons. A first order deconfining phase transition is obtained using Gibbs' equilibrium criteria and a bag model EOS for the weakly interacting quark matter. It is interesting to find that the phase transition line ends at a critical point beyond which a cross-over region exists between hot-dense meson gas and quark-antiquark gluon matter. Our curve resembles in shape closely with the predictions of the available lattice gauge calculations and also reproduces the conjectured phase boundary.

We analyze the electroweak phase transition at finite temperature in a model of gauge-Higgs unification where the fermion mass hierarchy including top quark mass, a viable electroweak symmetry breaking and an observed Higgs mass are successfully reproduced. To study the phase transition, we derive the general formula of the 1-loop effective potential at finite temperature by using the $\zeta$ function regularization method. It is remarkable that the functions determining the Kaluza-Klein mass spectrum have only to be necessary in calculations. This potential can be applicable to any higher dimensional theory in flat space where one extra spatial dimension is compactified. Applying to our model of gauge-Higgs unification, the strong first phase transition compatible with 125 GeV Higgs mass is found to happen.

We derive a bound on the magnetic dipole moment of the top quark in the context of the effective Lagrangian approach by using the values of the ratio $R_b = \Gamma_b/\Gamma_h$, $R_l = \Gamma_h/\Gamma_l$ and $\Gamma_Z$. We found that the oblique corrections are more sensible than the vertex ones for this moment.

In the framework of topcolor-assisted technicolor(TC2) model, there exist tree-level flavor-changing (FC) couplings which can result in the loop-level FC coupling $tcg$. Such $tcg$ coupling can contribute significant clues at the forthcoming Large Hadron Collider (LHC) experiments. In this paper, based on the TC2 model, we study some single t-quark production processes involving $tcg$ coupling at the Tevatron and LHC: $pp(p\bar{p})\to t\bar{q}(q=u,d,s),tg$. We calculate the cross sections of these processes. The results show that the cross sections at the Tevatron are too small to observe the signal, but at the LHC it can reach a few pb. With the high luminosity, the LHC has considerable capability to find the single t-quark signal produced via some FC processes involving coupling $tcg$. On the other hand, these processes can also provide some valuable information of the coupling $tcg$ with detailed study of the processes and furthermore provide the reliable evidence to test the TC2 model.

Using the pre-LHC and LHC data for $\pi p$ and $pp$ diffractive collisions we study the ultrahigh energy asymptotic regime in the framework of the black disk picture. The black disk picture, being constrained by the s-channel unitarity condition and the $t$-channel analyticity, gives rather definite predictions for diffractive processes increasing with the energy. To deal with the data, we consider the Dakhno-Nikonov eikonal model which predicts a growth of the $\ln^2s$ type for total and elastic cross sections and $(\tau={\bf q}_\perp^2\ln^2s)$-scaling for diffractive scattering and diffractive dissociation of hadrons. According to the calculations, ultrahigh energy asymptotic characteristics of diffractive and total cross sections are universal, and this results in the asymptotic equality of cross sections for all types of hadrons. We estimate the energy scale of the asymptotics in different processes. The manifestation of the asymptotic regime in hadron fragmentation reactions is discussed.

We show that the leading power corrections to the event shape distributions can be resummed into nonperturbative shape functions that do not depend on the center-of-mass energy and measure the energy flow in the final state. In the case of the thrust variable, the distribution is given by the convolution of the perturbative spectrum with the shape function. Choosing the simplest ansatz for the shape function we find that our predictions for the thrust distribution provide a good description of the data throughout a wide range of energies.

We investigate the dynamics of the chiral transition in an expanding quark-anti-quark plasma. The calculations are made within a linear sigma model with explicit quark and antiquark degrees of freedom. We solve numerically the classical equations of motion for chiral fields coupled to the fluid dynamical equations for the plasma. Fast initial growth and strong oscillations of the chiral field and strong amplification of long wavelength modes of the pion field are observed in the course of the chiral transition.

We comment on the recently reiterated claim that the contribution of the W-boson loop to the Higgs boson decay into two photons leads to different expressions in the $R_\xi$ gauge and the unitary gauge. By applying a gauge-symmetry preserving regularization with higher-order covariant derivatives we reproduce once again the "classical" gauge-independent result.

We perform a comprehensive study of the $\Delta (96)$ family symmetry combined with the generalised CP symmetry $H_{\rm{CP}}$. We investigate the lepton mixing parameters which can be obtained from the original symmetry $\Delta (96)\rtimes H_{\rm{CP}}$ breaking to different remnant symmetries in the neutrino and charged lepton sectors, namely $G_{\nu}$ and $G_l$ subgroups in the neutrino and the charged lepton sector respectively, and the remnant CP symmetries from the breaking of $H_{\rm{CP}}$ are $H^{\nu}_{\rm{CP}}$ and $H^{l}_{\rm{CP}}$, respectively, where all cases correspond to a preserved symmetry smaller than the full Klein symmetry, as in the semi-direct approach, leading to predictions which depend on a single undetermined real parameter, which may be fitted to the reactor angle for example. We discuss 26 possible cases, including a global $\chi^2$ determination of the best fit parameters and the correlations between mixing parameters, in each case.

The unknown constants in Chiral Perturbation Theory needed for an all orders analysis of the polarizabilities and electromagnetic corrections to the masses of the pseudo-Goldstone bosons are estimated at leading order in $1/N_c$. We organize the calculation in an $1/N_c$-expansion and separate long- and short-distance physics contributions by introducing an Euclidean cut-off. The long-distance part is evaluated using the ENJL model and the short-distance part using perturbative QCD and factorization. We obtain very good matching between both. We then include these estimates in a full Chiral Perturbation Theory calculation to order $e^2$ $p^2$ for the masses and $p^6$ for the polarizabilities. For the electromagnetic corrections to the masses, we confirm a large violation of Dashen's theorem getting a more precise value for this violation. We make comparison with earlier related work. Some phenomenological consequences are discussed too.

Tensor Networks are non-trivial representations of high-dimensional tensors, originally designed to describe quantum many-body systems. We show that Tensor Networks are ideal vehicles to connect quantum mechanical concepts to machine learning techniques, thereby facilitating an improved interpretability of neural networks. This study presents the discrimination of top quark signal over QCD background processes using a Matrix Product State classifier. We show that entanglement entropy can be used to interpret what a network learns, which can be used to reduce the complexity of the network and feature space without loss of generality or performance. For the optimisation of the network, we compare the Density Matrix Renormalization Group (DMRG) algorithm to stochastic gradient descent (SGD) and propose a joined training algorithm to harness the explainability of DMRG with the efficiency of SGD.
