We present the results of a realistic global fit of the Lagrangian parameters of the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model to simulated data from ILC and LHC with realistic estimates of the observable uncertainties. Higher order radiative corrections are accounted for where ever possible to date. Results are obtained for a modified SPS1a MSSM benchmark scenario but they were checked not to depend critically on this assumption. Exploiting a simulated annealing algorithm, a stable result is obtained without any a priori assumptions on the fit parameters. Most of the Lagrangian parameters can be extracted at the percent level or better if theoretical uncertainties are neglected. Neither LHC nor ILC measurements alone will be sufficient to obtain a stable result. The effects of theoretical uncertainties arising from unknown higher-order corrections and parametric uncertainties are examined qualitatively. They appear to be relevant and the result motivates further precision calculations.

We present a detailed and complete calculation of the gluino and scalar quarks contribution to the flavour-changing top quark decay into a charm quark and a photon, gluon, or a Z boson within the minimal supersymmetric standard model including flavour changing gluino-quarks-scalar quarks couplings in the right-handed sector. We compare the results with the ones presented in an earlier paper where we considered flavour changing couplings only in the left-handed sector. We show that these new couplings have important consequences leading to a large enhancement when the mixing of the scalar partners of the left- and right-handed top quark is included. Furthermore CP violation in the flavour changing top quark decay will occur when a SUSY phase is taken into account.

In the present work we have analyzed the transverse momentum spectra of charged particles in high multiplicity ${\it pp}$ collisions at LHC energies $\sqrt s = $ 5.02 and 13 TeV published by the ALICE Collaboration using the Color String Percolation Model (CSPM). For heavy ions Pb-Pb at $\sqrt {s_{NN}} =$ 2.76 and 5.02 TeV along with Xe-Xe at $\sqrt {s_{NN}} = $ 5.44 TeV have been analyzed. The initial temperature is extracted both in low and high multiplicity events in ${\it pp}$ collisions. For $A-A$ collisions the temperature is obtained as a function of centrality. A universal scaling in the temperature from $pp$ and $A-A$ collisions is obtained when multiplicity is scaled by the transverse interaction area.From the measured energy density $\bm \varepsilon$ and the temperature the dimensionless quantity $\bm \varepsilon/T^{4}$ is obtained. Our results for Pb-Pb and Xe-Xe collisions show a sharp increase in $\bm \varepsilon/T^{4}$ above T $\sim$ 210 MeV and reaching the ideal gas of quarks and gluons value of $\bm \varepsilon/T^{4} \sim$ 16 at temperature $\sim $ 230 MeV. In case of $pp$ collisions only $\bm \varepsilon/T^{4} \sim $ 10 corresponding to $\sim$ 30 degrees of freedom.

We calculate one loop contributions to $\Gamma(h \rightarrow \gamma \, \gamma)$ from higher dimensional operators, in the Standard Model Effective Field Theory (SMEFT). Some technical challenges related to determining Electroweak one loop "finite terms" are discussed and overcome. Although we restrict our attention to $\Gamma(h \rightarrow \gamma \, \gamma)$, several developments we report have broad implications. Firstly, the running of the vacuum expectation value modifies the $\log(\mu)$ dependence of processes in a manner that is not captured in some past SMEFT Renormalization Group (RG) calculations. Secondly, higher dimensional operators can source ghost interactions in $R_\xi$ gauges due to a modified gauge fixing procedure. Lastly, higher dimensional operators can contribute with pure finite terms at one loop in a manner that is not anticipated in a RG analysis. These results cast recent speculation on the nature of one loop corrections in the SMEFT in an entirely new light.

A comparison is made between the off-diagonal and helicity spin bases for top quark pair production at the FNAL Tevatron. In the off-diagonal basis, 92% of the top quark pairs are in the spin configuration up-down plus down-up, whereas in the helicity basis only 70% are left-right plus right-left. The off-diagonal basis maximizes the spin asymmetry and hence the measured angular correlations between the decay products, which are more than twice as big in this basis as compared to the helicity basis. In addition, for the process q qbar --> t tbar, we give a very simple analytic expression for the matrix element squared which includes all spin correlations between the production and subsequent decay of the top quarks.

In this paper we describe Herwig++ version 2.3, a general-purpose Monte Carlo event generator for the simulation of hard lepton-lepton, lepton-hadron and hadron-hadron collisions. A number of important hard scattering processes are available, together with an interface via the Les Houches Accord to specialized matrix element generators for additional processes. The simulation of Beyond the Standard Model (BSM) physics includes a range of models and allows new models to be added by encoding the Feynman rules of the model. The parton-shower approach is used to simulate initial- and final-state QCD radiation, including colour coherence effects, with special emphasis on the correct description of radiation from heavy particles. The underlying event is simulated using an eikonal multiple parton-parton scattering model. The formation of hadrons from the quarks and gluons produced in the parton shower is described using the cluster hadronization model. Hadron decays are simulated using matrix elements, where possible including spin correlations and off-shell effects.

In this paper, we calculate mass and probability fractions of meson-meson components of $X(3872)$ in an unquenched quark model. Different from most of other unquenched quark models, the quark pairs creation operator from $^3P_0$ is modified by considering effects of the created quark pair energy and separation between the created quark pair and the valence quark-pair. In the calculation, all the wavefunctions of mesons and the relative motion between two mesons are obtained by solving the corresponding Schr\"{o}dinger equation with the help of gaussian expansion method. The multi-channel coupling of quark-antiquark state with possible meson-meson states are performed. The results show that the $X(3872)$ can be described as a mixing state of dominant charmonium state (70\%) and meson-meson components (30\%).

If the electroweak symmetry-breaking sector becomes strongly interacting at high energies, it can be probed through longitudinal $W$ scattering. We present a model with many inelastic channels in the $W_L W_L$ scattering process, corresponding to the production of heavy fermion pairs. These heavy fermions affect the elastic scattering of $W_L$'s by propagating in loops, greatly reducing the amplitudes in some charge channels. We conclude that the symmetry-breaking sector cannot be fully explored by using, for example, the $W_L^\pm W_L^\pm$ mode alone, even when no resonance is present; all $W_L W_L \to W_L W_L$ scattering modes must be measured.

We study the isospin violating decays of vector charmonia to $\Lambda\overline{\Sigma}^0$ and its charge conjugate. They are dominated by the single photon annihilation and can be evaluated reliably with timelike form factors. We utilize the quark-pair creation model, which is valid for the OZI suppressed decays, to evaluate the form factors. We obtain the branching fractions of ${\cal B}(J/\psi\to\Lambda\overline{\Sigma}^0+c.c.)=(2.4\pm0.4)\times10^{-5}$ and ${\cal B}(\psi(2S)\to\Lambda\overline{\Sigma}^0+c.c.)=(3.0\pm0.5)\times10^{-6}$, which are compatible with the measurements by the BESIII collaborations, respectively. The decay asymmetries are found to be $\alpha_{J/\psi}=0.314$ and $\alpha_{\psi(2S)}=0.461$, which can be examined at BESIII in the foreseeable future.

To investigate the possible effects of a light hidden sector on Higgs boson detection, we discuss a model of scalar singlets coupled to the Standard Model. The model effectively makes the Higgs width a free parameter due to additional invisible decay modes. This width can become arbitrarily large. Theoretical and experimental bounds on model parameters are presented. It is shown, how Standard Model predictions change and that in the case of large coupling, Higgs signals will be diluted. We study, to which extent such a strongly coupled, hidden sector can be excluded by present and future Higgs search experiments.

We study a Light Shinning Through the wall type setup with microwave cavities, where the regeneration cavity has a moving boundary condition oscillating harmonically. We find a parametric resonance that could enhance the probability conversion between Weakly Interacting Slim Particles and photons by several orders of magnitude.

The quest for the Standard Model among the huge number of string vacua is usually based on a set of phenomenological criteria related to the massless spectrum of string models. In this work we study criteria associated with interactions in the effective low energy theory and in particular with the presence of the coupling that provides mass to the top quark. Working in the context of the Free Fermionic Formulation of the heterotic superstring, we demonstrate that, in a big class of phenomenologically promising $Z_2\times Z_2$ compactifications, these criteria can be expressed entirely in terms of the generalised GSO projection coefficients entering the definition of the models. They are shown to be very efficient in identifying phenomenologically viable vacua, especially in the framework of computer-based search, as they are met by approximately one every $10^4$ models. We apply our results in the investigation of a class of supersymmetric Pati-Salam vacua, comprising $10^{16}$ configurations, and show that when combined with other phenomenological requirements they lead to a relatively small set of about $10^7$ Standard Model compatible models that can be fully classified.

We consider the bounds for the values of higgs mass $M_H$ and of the mass of the extra quarks and leptons $M_{extra}$ derived from the stability of vacuum and from the absence of Landau pole in Higgs potential. We find that in the case of the absence of new physics up to the GUT scale the bounds for the mass of the 4th generation are so restrictive that the negative result of CDF search for extra quarks closes the window for fourth generation. In the case of the absence of new physics up to $10^5$ GeV we get weaker but still nontrivial bounds on $M_H$ and $M_{extra}$ as well.

A classical solution to the Yang-Mills theory is given a new semiclassical interpretation. The boundary value problem on a complex time contour which arises from the semiclassical approximation to multiparticle scattering amplitudes is reviewed and applied to the case of Yang- Mills theory. The solution describes a classically for- bidden transition between states with a large average number of particles in the limit $g\rightarrow 0$. It dominates a transition probability with a semiclassical suppression factor equal to twice the action of the well- known BPST instanton. Hence, it is relevant to the pro- blem of high energy tunnelling. It describes transitions of unit topological charge for an appropriate time contour. Therefore, it may have a direct interpretation in terms of fermion number violating processes in electroweak theory. The solution describes a transition between an initial state with parametrically fewer particles than the final state. Thus, it may be relevant to the study of semiclassical initial state corrections in the limit of a small number of initial particles. The implications of these results for multiparticle production in electroweak theory are also discussed.

I review the main predictions for the heavy-ion programme at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN, as available in early April 2009. I begin by remembering the standard claims made in view of the experimental data measured at the Super Proton Synchrotron (SPS) at CERN and at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) at the BNL. These claims will be used for later discussion of the new opportunities at the LHC. Next I review the generic, qualitative expectations for the LHC. Then I turn to quantitative predictions: First I analyze observables which characterize directly the medium produced in the collisions - bulk observables or soft probes -: multiplicities, collective flow, hadrochemistry at low transverse momentum, correlations and fluctuations. Second, I move to calibrated probes of the medium i.e. typically those whose expectation in the absence of any medium can be described in Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) using perturbative techniques (pQCD), usually called hard probes. I discuss particle production at large transverse momentum and jets, heavy-quark and quarkonium production, and photons and dileptons. Finally, after a brief review of pA collisions, I end with a summary and a discussion about the potentiality of the measurements at the LHC - particularly those made during the first run - to further substantiate or, on the contrary, disproof the picture of the medium that has arisen from the confrontation between the SPS and RHIC data, and theoretical models.

One can determine antiquark polarizations in proton using the information from deep inelastic scattering, $\beta$ decays of baryons, orbital angular momenta of quarks, as well as their integrated magnetic distributions. The last quantities were determined previously by us performing a fit to magnetic moments of baryon octet. However, because of the SU(3) symmetry our results depend on two parameters. The quantity $\Gamma_{V}$, measured recently in a COMPASS experiment, gives the relation between these parameters. We can fix the last unknown parameter using the ratio of up and down quark magnetic moments which one can get from the fit to radiative vector meson decays. We calculate antiquark polarizations with the orbital momenta of valence quarks that follow from lattice calculations. The value of difference for up and down antiquark polarizations obtained in our calculations is consistent with the result obtained in a HERMES experiment.

We discuss the possibility that accreting black hole systems can be sources for dark matter flux through several different mechanisms. We firstly discuss two types of systems: coronal thermal plasmas around supermassive black holes in active galactic nuclei (AGNs), and accretion disks of stellar-mass X-ray black hole binaries (BHBs). We explore how these black hole systems may produce keV light dark matter fluxes and find that the dark fluxes from those sources might be too weak to account for the current XENON1T excess. On the other hand, black holes can be good accelerators to accrete and boost heavy dark matter particles. If considering collisions or dark electromagnetism, those particles can then escape and reach the benchmark speed of 0.1c at the detector. We also extend the black hole mass region to primordial black holes (PBHs) and discuss the possibility of contributing to keV light dark flux via superradiance of PBHs.

New interpretation of chiral phase transition: Violation of trilemma in QCD

We find that the chiral phase transition (chiral crossover) in QCD at physical point is triggered by big imbalance among three fundamental quantities essential for the QCD vacuum structure: susceptibility functions for the chiral symmetry, axial symmetry, and the topological charge. The balance, dobbed the QCD trilemma, is unavoidably violated when one of the magnitudes among them is highly dominated, or suppressed. Based on a three-flavor Nambu-Jona-Lasinio model, we explicitly evaluate the amount of violation of the QCD trilemma at physical point, and show that the violation takes place not only at vacuum, but even in a whole temperature regime including the chiral crossover epoch. This work confirms and extends the suggestion recently reported from lattice QCD with 2 flavors on dominance of the axial and topological susceptibilities left in the chiral susceptibility at high temperatures. It turns out that the imbalance is essentially due to the flavor symmetry violation of the lightest three flavors, and the flavor breaking specifically brings enhancement of the axial anomaly contribution in the chiral order parameter, while the the strength of the axial breaking and the transition rate of the topological charge are fairly insensitive to the flavor symmetry. The violation of QCD trilemma and its flavor dependence can be tested by lattice simulations with 2 + 1 flavors in the future, and would also give a new guiding principle to explore the flavor dependence of the chiral phase transition, such as the Columbia plot, including possible extension with external fields.

We perform extractions of parton distribution functions (PDFs) with and without a dark photon being present and allow the dark photon mixing parameter and mass to vary. We also include the effects of vector meson dominance to ensure the correct photo-production limit. By considering the variation of the total $\chi^2$ arising from such extractions we infer exclusion limits on the kinetic mixing parameter of the dark photon for dark photon mass up to $80\ {\rm GeV}$.

We present the first calculation of the full next-to-leading-order electroweak and QCD corrections for vector-boson scattering (VBS) into a pair of Z bosons at the LHC. We consider specifically the process ${\rm pp\to e^{+}e^{-}\mu^{+}\mu^{-}jj}+X$ at orders $\mathcal{O}(\alpha^7)$ and $\mathcal{O}(\alpha_s\alpha^6)$ and take all off-shell and interference contributions into account. Owing to the presence of enhanced Sudakov logarithms, the electroweak corrections amount to $-16\%$ of the leading-order electroweak fiducial cross section and induce significant shape distortions of differential distributions. The QCD corrections on the other hand are larger ($+24\%$) than typical QCD corrections in VBS. This originates from considering the full computation including tri-boson contributions in a rather inclusive phase space. We also provide a leading-order analysis of all contributions to the cross section for ${\rm pp \to e^{+}e^{-}\mu^{+}\mu^{-}jj}+X$ in a realistic setup.

The topological susceptibility, $\chi^4$, following the work of Witten and Veneziano, plays a key role in identifying the relative magnitude of the $\eta^{\prime}$ mass, the so-called $U(1)_{A}$ problem. A nonzero $\chi^4$ is caused by the Veneziano ghost, the occurrence of an unphysical massless pole in the correlation function of the topological current. In a recent paper (Phys.Rev.Lett.114 (2015) 24, 242001), an explicit relationship between this Veneziano ghost and color confinement was proposed, by connecting the dynamics of the Veneziano ghost, and thus the topological susceptibility, with Gribov copies. However, the analysis is incompatible with BRST symmetry (Phys.Rev.D 93 (2016) no.8, 085010). In this paper, we investigate the topological susceptibility, $\chi^4$, in SU(3) and SU(2) Euclidean Yang-Mills theory using an appropriate Pad\'e approximation tool and a non-perturbative gluon propagator, within a BRST invariant framework and by taking into account Gribov copies in a general linear covariant gauge.

Spin effects in strong interaction high energy processes are subtle phenomena which involve both short and long distance physics and test perturbative and non perturbative aspects of QCD. Moreover, depending on quantities like interferences between different amplitudes and relative phases, spin observables always test a theory at a fundamental quantum mechanical level; it is then no surprise that spin data are often difficult to accomodate within the existing models. A report is made on the main issues and contributions discussed in the parallel Session on the ``Strong interactions at high energy" in this Conference.

The model was recently applied to the description of the properties of $\chi_{\rm c}(2P)$ and $\chi_{\rm b}(3P)$ multiplets [Phys.\ Lett.\ B {\bf 789}, 550 (2019)]. We also compute the open-charm strong decay widths of the $\chi_{\rm c}(3P)$ states and their radiative transitions. According to our predictions, the $\chi_{\rm c}(3P)$ states should be dominated by the charmonium core, but they may also show small meson-meson components.

We present a twin Higgs model based on left-right symmetry with a tree level quartic. This is made possible by extending the symmetry of the model to include two Z_2 parities, each of which is sufficient to protect the Higgs from getting a quadratically divergent mass squared. Although both parities are broken explicitly, the symmetries that protect the Higgs from getting a quadratically divergent mass are broken only collectively. The quadratic divergences of the Higgs mass are thus still protected at one loop. We find that the fine tuning in this model is reduced substantially compared to the original left-right twin Higgs model. This mechanism can also be applied to the mirror twin Higgs model to get a significant reduction of the fine tuning, while keeping the mirror photon massless.

We study the spectrum of light plasmons in the (gapped and gapless) two-flavor color superconducting phases and its connection with the chromomagnetic instabilities and the structure of the ground state. It is revealed that the chromomagnetic instabilities in the 4-7th and 8th gluonic channels correspond to two very different plasmon spectra. These spectra lead us to the unequivocal conclusion about the existence of gluonic condensates (some of which can be spatially inhomogeneous) in the ground state. We also argue that spatially inhomogeneous gluonic condensates should exist in the three-flavor quark matter with the values of the mass of strange quark corresponding to the gapless color-flavor locked state.

We review the structure of Roy-Steiner equations for pion-nucleon scattering, the solution for the partial waves of the t-channel process $\pi\pi\to \bar N N$, as well as the high-accuracy extraction of the pion-nucleon S-wave scattering lengths from data on pionic hydrogen and deuterium. We then proceed to construct solutions for the lowest partial waves of the s-channel process $\pi N\to \pi N$ and demonstrate that accurate solutions can be found if the scattering lengths are imposed as constraints. Detailed error estimates of all input quantities in the solution procedure are performed and explicit parameterizations for the resulting low-energy phase shifts as well as results for subthreshold parameters and higher threshold parameters are presented. Furthermore, we discuss the extraction of the pion-nucleon $\sigma$-term via the Cheng-Dashen low-energy theorem, including the role of isospin-breaking corrections, to obtain a precision determination consistent with all constraints from analyticity, unitarity, crossing symmetry, and pionic-atom data. We perform the matching to chiral perturbation theory in the subthreshold region and detail the consequences for the chiral convergence of the threshold parameters and the nucleon mass.

We propose a novel dark matter (DM) detection strategy for the models with non-minimal dark sector. The main ingredients in the underlying DM scenario are a boosted DM particle and a heavier dark sector state. The relativistic DM impinged on target material scatters off inelastically to the heavier state which subsequently decays into DM along with lighter states including visible (Standard Model) particles. The expected signal event, therefore, accompanies a visible signature by the secondary cascade process associated with a recoiling of the target particle, differing from the typical neutrino signal not involving the secondary signature. We then discuss various kinematic features followed by DM detection prospects at large volume neutrino detectors with a model framework where a dark gauge boson is the mediator between the Standard Model particles and DM.

Most current models of Lorentz symmetry violation (LSV) at the Planck scale involve power-like extrapolations of the Lorentz-beaking term down to accelerator and even much lower energies. It is therefore assumed that no intermediate energy scale alters this behaviour. But this is not the only possible scenario: a more sophisticate energy-dependence is possible, and would even be natural, involving significant effective thresholds at intermediate energies. Such thresholds may exist between the Planck scale and the highest cosmic-ray energies, or between ultra-high cosmic-ray energies and the TeV scale, leading to interesting scenarios. In many cases, experimental predictions of LSV patterns can be dramatically modified and space experiments become necessary irrespective of AUGER results. By combining both kinds of experiments, future results of cosmic-ray observations will hopefully be able to test, for a large family of models involving various patterns of Planck-scale physics, the possible existence of an absolute local rest frame in the real world.

We present a considerably improved analysis of model-independent bounds on new physics effects in non-leptonic tree-level decays of B-mesons. Our main finding is that contributions of about $\pm 0.1 $ to the Wilson coefficient of the colour-singlet operator $Q_2$ of the effective weak Hamiltonian and contributions in the range of $\pm 0.5$ (both for real and imaginary part) to $Q_1$ can currently not be excluded at the $90\%$ C.L.. Effects of such a size can modify the direct experimental extraction of the CKM angle $\gamma$ by up to $10^{\circ}$ and they could lead to an enhancement of the decay rate difference $\Delta \Gamma_d$ of up to a factor of 5 over its SM value - a size that could explain the D0 dimuon asymmetry. Future more precise measurements of the semi-leptonic asymmetries $a_{sl}^q$ and the lifetime ratio $\tau (B_s) / \tau (B_d)$ will allow to shrink the bounds on tree-level new physics effects considerably. Due to significant improvements in the precision of the non-perturbative input we update all SM predictions for the mixing obervables in the course of this analysis, obtaining: $\Delta M_s = (18.77 \pm 0.86 ) \, \mbox{ps}^{-1}$, $\Delta M_d = (0.543 \pm 0.029) \, \mbox{ps}^{-1}$, $\Delta \Gamma_s = (9.1 \pm 1.3 ) \cdot 10^{-2} \, \mbox{ps}^{-1}$, $\Delta \Gamma_d = (2.6 \pm 0.4 ) \cdot 10^{-3} \, \mbox{ps}^{-1}$, $a_{sl}^s = (2.06 \pm 0.18) \cdot 10^{-5}$ and $a_{sl}^d = (-4.73 \pm 0.42) \cdot 10^{-4}$.

A non-perturbative construction of the 3-point fermion-boson vertex which obeys its Ward-Takahashi or Slavnov-Taylor identity, ensures the massless fermion and boson propagators transform according to their local gauge covariance relations, reproduces perturbation theory in the weak coupling regime and provides a gauge independent description for dynamical chiral symmetry breaking (DCSB) and confinement has been a long-standing goal in physically relevant gauge theories such as quantum electrodynamics (QED) and quantum chromodynamics (QCD). In this paper, we demonstrate that the same simple and practical form of the vertex can achieve these objectives not only in 4-dimensional quenched QED (qQED4) but also in its 3-dimensional counterpart (qQED3). Employing this convenient form of the vertex \emph{ansatz} into the Schwinger-Dyson equation (SDE) for the fermion propagator, we observe that it renders the critical coupling in qQED4 markedly gauge independent in contrast with the bare vertex and improves on the well-known Curtis-Pennington construction. Furthermore, our proposal yields gauge independent order parameters for confinement and DCSB in qQED3.

We present a new technique for tagging heavy-flavor jets with p_T > 500 GeV called "mu_x tagging." Current track-based methods of b-jet tagging lose efficiency and experience a large rise in fake rate in the boosted regime. Using muons from B hadron decay, we combine angular information and jet substructure to tag b jets, c jets, light jets, and "light-heavy" jets (those containing B hadrons from gluon splitting). We find tagging efficiencies of epsilon_b = 14%, epsilon_c = 6.5%, epsilon_{light-light} = 0.14%, and epsilon_{light-heavy} = 0.5%, respectively, that are nearly independent of transverse momentum at high energy. We demonstrate the usefulness of this new scheme by examining the discovery potential for multi-TeV leptophobic Z-prime bosons in the boosted-b-tagged dijet channel at the Large Hadron Collider.

Precision measurements of rare particle physics phenomena (flavor oscillations and decays, electric dipole moments, etc.) are often sensitive to the effects of new physics encoded in higher-dimensional operators with Wilson coefficients given by ${\rm C}/(\Lambda_{\rm NP})^n$, where C is dimensionless, $n\geq 1$, and $\Lambda_{\rm NP}$ is an energy scale. Many extensions of the Standard Model predict that $\Lambda_{\rm NP} $ should be at the electroweak scale or above, and the search for new short-distance physics is often stated as the primary goal of experiments at the precision frontier. In rather general terms, we investigate the alternative possibility: ${\rm C} \ll 1$, and $\Lambda_{\rm NP} \ll m_W$, to identify classes of precision measurements sensitive to light new physics (hidden sectors) that do not require an ultraviolet completion with additional states at or above the electroweak scale. We find that hadronic electric dipole moments, lepton number and flavor violation, non-universality, as well as lepton $g-2$ can be induced at interesting levels by hidden sectors with light degrees of freedom. In contrast, many hadronic flavor- and baryon number-violating observables, and precision probes of charged currents, typically require new physics with $\Lambda_{\rm NP} \gtrsim m_W$. Among the leptonic observables, we find that a non-zero electron electric dipole moment near the current level of sensitivity would point to the existence of new physics at or above the electroweak scale.

Using methods of effective field theory, we derive the first all-order factorization theorem for the Higgs-boson production cross section with a jet veto, imposed by means of a standard sequential recombination jet algorithm. Like in the case of small-q_T resummation in Drell-Yan and Higgs production, the factorization is affected by a collinear anomaly. Our analysis provides the basis for a systematic resummation of large logarithms log(m_H/p_T^veto) beyond leading-logarithmic order. Specifically, we present predictions for the resummed jet-veto cross section and efficiency at next-to-next-to-leading logarithmic order. Our results have important implications for Higgs-boson searches at the LHC, where a jet veto is required to suppress background events.

We study the Landau pole in the lambda phi^4 field theory at non-zero and large temperatures. We show that the position of the thermal Landau pole Lambda_L(T) is shifted to higher energies with respect to the zero temperature Landau pole Lambda_L(0). We find for high temperatures T > Lambda_L(0), Lambda_L(T) simeq pi^2 T / log (T / Lambda_L(0)). Therefore, the range of applicability in energy of the lambda phi^4 field theory increases with the temperature.

This article presents new features of the MCSANC v.1.20 program, a Monte Carlo tool for calculation of the next-to-leading order electroweak and QCD corrections to various Standard Model processes. The extensions concern implementation of Drell--Yan-like processes and include a systematic treatment of the photon-induced contribution in proton--proton collisions and electroweak corrections beyond NLO approximation. There are also technical improvements such as calculation of the forward-backward asymmetry for the neutral current Drell--Yan process. The updated code is suitable for studies of the effects due to EW and QCD radiative corrections to Drell--Yan (and several other) processes at the LHC and for forthcoming high energy proton--proton colliders.

We study the dynamical generation of masses for fundamental fermions in quenched quantum electrodynamics in the presence of weak magnetic fields using Schwinger-Dyson equations. Contrary to the case where the magnetic field is strong, in the weak field limit the coupling should exceed certain critical value in order for the generation of masses to take place, just as in the case where no magnetic field is present. The weak field limit is defined as eB << m(0)^2, where m(0) is the value of the dynamically generated mass in the absence of the field. We carry out a numerical analysis to study the magnetic field dependence of the mass function above critical coupling and show that in this regime the dynamically generated mass and the chiral condensate for the lowest Landau level increase proportionally to (eB)^2.

In this work we propose a simple extension of standard-model (SM) by adding eleven new particles to it. Three heavy leptons ($f_{e},\ f_{\mu},\ f_{\tau}$) singlet under the $SU(3)_{c}\times SU(2)_{L}$ carrying respective Lepton-Numbers, charged under the $U(1)_{Y}$ with $Y = -2$ and transforming under a discrete symmetry as $f_{i} \rightarrow -f_{i}$. One scalar ($\phi_{2}$), singlet under all the SM gauge groups and transforming under the discrete symmetry as $\phi_{2} \rightarrow -\phi_{2}$ which does not develops a non zero vacuum-expectation-value (VEV). One more scalar ($\phi_{3}$), singlet under all the SM gauge groups and invariant under the discrete symmetry which develops a non zero VEV ($v_{3}$) and gives masses to $f_{i}$s, $\phi_{2}$ and neutrinos. Three right-handed neutrinos ($\nu_{iR}$) and three left-handed Majorana neutrinos ($s_{iL}$). With these new additional particles added to SM we have been able to give explanations to the long standing muon (g -2) anomaly as well as the smallness of neutrino masses by the inverse see-saw mechanism. And also in this model we have a very suitable scalar dark-matter (DM) candidate in $\phi_{2}$ with allowed mass as high as 53 GeV, although due to large Yukawa coupling required to explain the muon (g-2), its contribution to the DM relic density turn out to be too small and so it can account only a small fraction of the DM relic density of the universe.

The physical state of $\rho$-$\omega$-$\phi$ mesons can be mixed by the unitary matrix. The decay processes of $\omega \rightarrow \pi^{+}\pi^{-}$ and $\phi \rightarrow \pi^{+}\pi^{-}$ are from the isospin symmetry breaking. The $\rho-\omega$, $\rho-\phi$ and $\omega-\phi$ interferences lead to resonance contribution to produce the strong phases. The $CP$ asymmetry is considered from above isospin symmetry breaking due to the new strong phase for the first order. It has been found the $CP$ asymmetry can be enhanced greatly for the decay process of $B^{0}\rightarrow\pi^+\pi^{-}\eta^{(')}$ when the invariant masses of the $\pi^+\pi^{-}$ pairs are in the area around the $\omega$ resonance range and the $\phi$ resonance range in perturbative QCD.

We analyse W boson production at hadron colliders in association with one or two jets, both with the exact kinematics and in the high-energy limit. We argue that the configurations that are kinematically favoured tend to have the W boson forward in rapidity. Thus W boson production in association with jets lends itself naturally to extensions to the high-energy limit, which we examine both at leading order and by resumming higher-order corrections through the BFKL theory.

The recent discovery by the Daya-Bay and RENO experiments, that \theta_{13} is nonzero and relatively large, significantly impacts existing experiments and the planning of future facilities. In many scenarios, the nonzero value of \theta_{13} implies that \theta_{23} is likely to be different from \pi/4. Additionally, large detectors will be sensitive to matter effects on the oscillations of atmospheric neutrinos, making it possible to determine the neutrino mass hierarchy and the octant of \theta_{23}. We show that a 50 kT magnetized liquid argon neutrino detector can ascertain the mass hierarchy with a significance larger than 4 sigma with moderate exposure times, and the octant at the level of 2-3 sigma with greater exposure.

Static properties of multiskyrmions with baryon numbers up to 8 are calculated starting from recently given rational map ansaetze. The spectra of baryonic systems with strangeness, charm and bottom are estimated within a "rigid oscillator" version of the bound state soliton model. It is suggested that the recently observed negatively charged nuclear fragment can be considered as quantized strange multiskyrmion with baryon number 6 or 7 and large value of strangeness. In agreement with previous observation, it is argued that baryonic systems with charm or bottom quantum numbers have more chances to be bound with respect to strong interactions than strange baryonic systems.

The public data from the EGRET space telescope on diffuse galactic gamma rays in the energy range from 0.1 to 10 GeV show an excess for energies above 1 GeV in comparison with the expectations from conventional galactic models. This excess shows all the key features of Dark Matter Annihilation (DMA), like being observable in al sky directions with a shape corresponding to a WIMP mass between 50 and 100 GeV. The intensity of the excess in various directions can be used to reconstruct the DM profile, which - combined with the distribution of visible matter - allows to calculate the rotation curve of our Galaxy. Its peculiar shape, which is not flat, but shows a minimum and maximum, is indeed reconstructed from the gamma rays, thus proving that the EGRET excess traces the DM. Furthermore, the spectral shape of the excess is consistent with mSUGRA and the WMAP relic density for rather heavy squarks and sleptons - O(1 TeV) - and light charginos, neutralinos and gluinos (below 500 GeV).

The spectrum and the circular polarization of radiation from longitudinally polarized high-energy electrons in oriented single crystal are considered using the method which permits inseparable consideration of both the coherent and the incoherent mechanisms of photon emission. The spectral and polarization properties of radiation are obtained and analyzed. It is found that in some part of spectral distribution the influence of multiple scattering (the Landau-Pomeranchuk-Migdal (LPM) effect) attains the order of 7 percent. The same is true for the influence of multiple scattering on the polarization part of the radiation intensity. The degree of circular polarization of total intensity of radiation is found. It is shown that the influence of multiple scattering on the photon polarization is similar to the influence of the LPM effect on the total intensity of radiation: it appears only for relatively low energies of radiating electron and has the order of 1 percent, while at higher energies the crystal field action excludes the LPM effect.

One of the simplest ways to account for the observed W-boson mass shift is to introduce the $SU(2)_L$ triplet Higgs boson with zero hypercharge, whose vacuum expectation value is about 3 GeV. If the triplet is heavy enough at $\mathcal{O}(1)$ TeV, it essentially contributes only to $T$ parameter without any conflict to the observation. The presence of a complex triplet Higgs boson raises the $SU(2)_L$ gauge coupling constant to $\alpha_2(M_{\rm PL} )\simeq 1/44$ at the Planck scale. Thanks to this larger gauge coupling constant, we show that the electroweak axion vacuum energy explains the observed cosmological constant provided that the axion field is located near the hill top of the potential at present.

We consider the dispersion correction to elastic parity violating electron-proton scattering due to \gammaZ exchange. In a recent publication, this correction was reported to be substantially larger than the previous estimates. In this paper, we study the dispersion correction in greater detail. We confirm the size of the disperion correction to be 6% for the QWEAK experiment designed to measure the proton weak charge. We enumerate parameters that have to be constrained to better than relative 30% in order to keep the theoretical uncertainty for QWEAK under control.

The angular structure of collisional and radiative energy losses of a hard parton jet propagating through the quark-gluon plasma is analyzed. The possibility to observe the energy losses of quark- and gluon-initiated jets in dense QCD-matter (jet quenching) measuring the characteristics of real hadronic jets in ultra-relativistic collisions of nuclei is investigated. In particular, using calorimetric studies of jet + jet, gamma + jet and Z + jet channels is discussed.

A measurement of Z production cross-section in $\gamma e^{-}$ collision at Large Hadron-electron Collider (LHeC) is presented to compare to that at International Linear Collider (ILC). The total cross-section depends strongly on the polarization of the initial and final $e^{-}$ beams, the electron beam energy $E_{e}$ with the energy of the proton beam taken to be $E_{p} = 7$ TeV. The result shows that the total cross-section in $\gamma e^{-} \rightarrow Z e^{-} \rightarrow l^{-}l^{+}e^{-}$ at LHeC is much larger than that at ILC.

We study the light scalar sector up to $1.8$ GeV by using a quantum field theoretical approach which includes a single kaonic state in a Lagrangian with both derivative and non-derivative interactions. By performing a fit to $\pi K$ phase shift data in the $I=1/2,$ $J=0$ channel, we show that $K_{0}^{\ast}(800)$ (or $\kappa$) emerges as a dynamically generated companion pole of $K_{0}^{\ast }(1430)$. This is a result of investigating quantum fluctuations with one kaon and one pion circulating in the loops dressing $K_{0}^{\ast}(1430)$. We determine the position of the poles on the complex plane in the context of our approach: for $K_{0}^{\ast}(1430)$ we get $(1.413\pm0.002)-i{0.02cm}(0.127\pm0.003)$ (in GeV), while for $\kappa$ we get $(0.746\pm0.019)-i{0.02cm}(0.262\pm0.014)$ (in GeV). The model-dependence of these results and related uncertainties are discussed in the paper. A large-$N_{c}$ study confirms that $K_{0}^{\ast}(1430)$ is predominantly a quarkonium and that $K_{0}^{\ast}(800)$ is a molecular-like dynamically generated state.

The diffractive production of open charm in deep-inelastic scattering is studied in the semiclassical approach which has been proposed recently. In this approach, the leading order process contains a charm quark pair and an additional gluon in the diffractive final state. The $p_{\perp}$-spectrum and the diffractive mass distribution are evaluated and compared with predictions based on perturbative two-gluon exchange calculations for charm quark pair production. It is shown that the $p_{\perp}$-spectrum provides a clear test of the underlying partonic process whereas the diffractive mass distribution reflects the non-perturbative mechanism of colour neutralization.

We explore the phenomenology of the minimal supersymmetric flipped SU(5) GUT model (CFSU(5)), whose soft supersymmetry-breaking (SSB) mass parameters are constrained to be universal at some input scale, $M_{in}$, above the GUT scale, $M_{GUT}$. We analyze the parameter space of CFSU(5) assuming that the lightest supersymmetric particle (LSP) provides the cosmological cold dark matter, paying careful attention to the matching of parameters at the GUT scale. We first display some specific examples of the evolutions of the SSB parameters that exhibit some generic features. Specifically, we note that the relationship between the masses of the lightest neutralino and the lighter stau is sensitive to $M_{in}$, as is the relationship between the neutralino mass and the masses of the heavier Higgs bosons. For these reasons, prominent features in generic $(m_{1/2}, m_0)$ planes such as coannihilation strips and rapid-annihilation funnels are also sensitive to $M_{in}$, as we illustrate for several cases with tan(beta)=10 and 55. However, these features do not necessarily disappear at large $M_{in}$, unlike the case in the minimal conventional SU(5) GUT. Our results are relatively insensitive to neutrino masses.

All fundamental fermions and bosons are taken into consideration with their actual masses. The only free parameter is the Higgs boson mass which is chosen to be in the energy interval 75 GeV $\le m_H \le$=A0 115 GeV.=A0 It is found that for the field strengths $H \sim 10^{22}- 10^{23}$G the electroweak phase transition is of first order but a baryogenesis condition is not satisfied. For stronger fields it=A0 becomes of second order. Hence it is concluded that the smooth hypermagnetic field does not generate the strong first order phase transition and the baryogenesis does not survive in the Standard Model. The comparison with the results of other approaches is done.

For the first two decays this approach improves results based on the anomalous Wess-Zumino term, with contributions due to SU(3) symmetry breaking and vector mixing. The phi to (omega,rho) gamma gamma decays are dominated by resonant eta' exchange . Our calculation for the later decays improves and update similar calculations in the -closely related- framework of vector meson dominance. We obtain BR(phi to rho gamma gamma)=2.5x10^{-5} and BR(phi to omega gamma gamma)=2.8x10^{-6} within the scope of the high-luminosity phi factories.

In $\XQM$, a quark can emit Goldstone bosons. The flavor symmetry breaking in the Goldstone boson emission process is used to intepret the nucleon flavor-spin structure. In this paper, we study the inner structure of constituent quarks implied in $\XQM$ caused by the Goldstone boson emission process in nucleon. From a simplified model Hamiltonian derived from $\XQM$, the intrinsic wave functions of constituent quarks are determined. Then the obtained transition probabilities of the emission of Goldstone boson from a quark can give a reasonable interpretation to the flavor symmetry breaking in nucleon flavor-spin structure.

Experimental measurements collected by the BABAR, Belle, and LHCb experiments on different observables associated with the semileptonic transition $b \to c \tau \bar{\nu}_\tau$, indicate the existence of disagreement respect with the Standard Model predictions. We analyse the charged scalar boson contributions to these charged-current $B$ meson anomalies within the framework of two Higgs doublet model with the most general Yukawa couplings to quarks and leptons from the third generation, involving left-handed and right-handed (sterile) neutrinos. We perform a phenomenological study of the Yukawa couplings parameter space that accommodates these anomalies. We consider the most recent data from HFLAV world-average and Belle combination, and the upper limits ${\rm BR}(B_c^- \to \tau^- \bar{\nu}_{\tau}) < 30\%$ and $10\%$. In addition, we include in our study the prospect measurements on $R(D^{(\ast)})$ that the Belle II experiment could achieve and explore, for the first time, the future implications for the corresponding charged scalar Yukawa couplings. This analysis updates the existing literature and includes new important observables. Our results show that current experimental $b\rightarrow c \tau \bar{\nu}_\tau$ data and Belle II projection favor the interpretation of a charged scalar boson interacting with right-handed neutrinos. Furthermore, as a side analysis regarding the charged scalar boson interpretation, we revisit the relation between $R(D^\ast)$ and ${\rm BR}(B_c^- \to \tau^- \bar{\nu}_{\tau})$ by investigating whether the claim that pseudoscalar new physics interpretations of $R(D^{\ast})$ are implausible due to the $B_c$ lifetime is still valid, to the light of the recent data and Belle II prospects on $R(D^{\ast})$. Lastly, we reexamine addressing the $R(D^{(\ast)})$ anomalies in the context of the 2HDM of Type II.

At the critical end point in QCD phase diagram, the scalar, vector and entropy susceptibilities are known to diverge. The dynamic origin of this divergence is identified within the chiral effective models as softening of a hydrodynamic mode of the particle-hole--type motion, which is a consequence of the conservation law of the baryon number and the energy.

We consider the ratio between the double and single Higgs production cross sections and examine the prospect of measuring the trilinear Higgs self-coupling using this observable. Such a ratio has a reduced theoretical (scale) uncertainty than the double Higgs cross section. We find that with 600/fb, the 14 TeV LHC can constraint the trilinear Higgs self coupling to be positive, and with 3000/fb one could measure it with a +30 % {-20 %}) accuracy.

In recent times, the charged-current mediated semileptonic $b \to c \tau \bar \nu_\tau$ processes have attracted a lot of attention after the observation of lepton non-universality ratios, $R_{D^{(*)}}$, $R_{J/\psi}$ and the measurements on $D^*$ and $\tau$ longitudinal polarization fractions in $\bar B\to D^* \tau \bar \nu_\tau$ processes. We present a model-independent analysis of $ \bar B\to D^{(*)} \tau \bar \nu_\tau$, $ B_s\to D_s^{(*)} \tau \bar \nu_\tau$, $ B_c^+ \to (\eta_c, J/\psi) \tau^+ \nu_\tau$, $\Lambda_b \to \Lambda_c \tau \bar \nu_\tau$ and $\bar B \to D^{**} \tau \bar \nu_\tau$ (where $D^{**} = \{D^*_0, D_1^*, D_1, D_2^*\}$ are the four lightest excited charm mesons) processes involving $b \to c \tau \bar \nu$ quark level transitions by considering the most general effective Lagrangian in the presence of new physics. We perform a global fit to various set of new coefficients, including the measurements on $R_{D^{(*)}}$, $R_{J/\psi}$ and the upper limit on Br($B_c^+ \to \tau^+ \bar \nu_\tau$). We then show the implications of constrained new couplings on the branching fractions, lepton non-universality ratios and various angular observables of these decay modes in four different bins of $q^2$.

By making use of the finite-temperature real-time static potential that was introduced and computed to leading non-trivial order in Hard Thermal Loop resummed perturbation theory in recent work, and solving numerically a Schr\"odinger-type equation, we estimate the quarkonium (in practice, bottomonium) contribution to the spectral function of the electromagnetic current in hot QCD. The spectral function shows a single resonance peak which becomes wider and then disappears as the temperature is increased beyond 450 MeV or so. This behaviour can be compared with recently attempted lattice reconstructions of the same quantity, based on the ``maximum entropy method'', which generically show several peaks. We also specify the dependence of our results on the spatial momentum of the electromagnetic current, as well as on the baryon chemical potential characterising the hot QCD plasma.

The recent tension between local and early measurements of the Hubble constant can be explained in a particle physics context. A mechanism is presented where this tension is alleviated due to the presence of a Majoron, arising from the spontaneous breaking of Lepton Number. The lightness of the active neutrinos is consistently explained. Moreover, this mechanism is shown to be embeddable in the Minimal (Lepton) Flavour Violating context, providing a correct description of fermion masses and mixings, and protecting the flavour sector from large deviations from the Standard Model predictions. A QCD axion is also present to solve the Strong CP problem. The Lepton Number and the Peccei-Quinn symmetries naturally arise in the Minimal (Lepton) Flavour Violating setup and their spontaneous breaking is due to the presence of two extra scalar singlets. The Majoron phenomenology is also studied in detail. Decays of the heavy neutrinos and the invisible Higgs decay provide the strongest constraints in the model parameter space.

The structure of exotic resonances that do not trivially fit the usual quark model expectations has been a matter of intense scientific debate during the last two decades. A possible way of estimating the size of these states is to study their behavior when immersed in QCD matter. Recently, LHCb has measured the relative abundance of the exotic $X(3872)$ over the ordinary $\psi(2S)$. We use the comover interaction model to study the yield of a compact $X(3872)$. To confirm the reliability of the model in high-multiplicity $pp$ collisions, we describe the suppression of excited over ground $\Upsilon$ states. With this at hand, we show that the size of the compact $X(3872)$ would be slightly larger than that of the $\psi(2S)$. If the $X(3872)$ is instead assumed to be a meson molecule of large size, we argue that its evolution in QCD matter should be described via a coalescence model, as suggested by data on deuteron production. We show that the predictions of this model for the $X(3872)$ are in contrast with data.

We present a model-independent anatomy of the $\Delta F=2$ transitions $K^0-\bar K^0$, $B_{s,d}-\bar B_{s,d}$ and $D^0-\bar D^0$ in the context of the Standard Model Effective Field Theory (SMEFT). We present two master formulae for the mixing amplitude $\big[M_{12} \big]_\text{BSM}$. One in terms of the Wilson coefficients (WCs) of the Low-Energy Effective Theory (LEFT) operators evaluated at the electroweak scale $\mu_\text{ew}$ and one in terms of the WCs of the SMEFT operators evaluated at the BSM scale $\Lambda$. The coefficients $P_a^{ij}$ entering these formulae contain all the information below the scales $\mu_\text{ew}$ and $\Lambda$, respectively. Renormalization group effects from the top-quark Yukawa coupling play the most important role. The collection of the individual contributions of the SMEFT operators to $\big[M_{12}\big]_\text{BSM}$ can be considered as the SMEFT ATLAS of $\Delta F=2$ transitions and constitutes a travel guide to such transitions far beyond the scales explored by the LHC. We emphasize that this ATLAS depends on whether the down-basis or the up-basis for SMEFT operators is considered. We illustrate this technology with tree-level exchanges of heavy gauge bosons ($Z^\prime$, $G^\prime$) and corresponding heavy scalars.

If a light gaugino sector exists, then the lightest supersymmetric particle (LSP) has a chance of being pair-produced in rare B-decays. As a consequence of neutral flavour violation in most supersymmetric models, such decays can occur at the tree-level and reinforce the channels $B \longrightarrow K(K^{*}) + invisible$. We discuss how a study of such decay spectra in B-factories can help us either identify or exclude a light LSP.

Quantum black hole production at the Large Hadron Collider is investigated using the horizon quantum mechanics model. This model has novel implications for how black holes might be observed in collider experiments. Black hole production is predicted to be possible below the Planck scale, thus leading to the intriguing possibility that black holes could be produced even if the Planck scale is slightly above the collider centre of mass energy. In addition, the usual anticipated resonance in the black hole mass distribution is significantly widened in this model. For values of the Planck scale above the current lower limits, the shape of the black hole mass distribution is almost independent of the Planck scale and depends more on the number of extra dimensions. These model features suggest the need for alternative search strategies in collider experiments.

We suggest a new experiment sensitive to a possible difference between the amount of CP violation as measured on the surface of the Earth and in a lower gravity environment. Our proposed experiment is model independent and could yield a $5\sigma$ measurement within tens of days, indicating a dependence of the level of CP violation in the neutral kaon system on the local gravitational potential.

We suggest a new experiment sensitive to a possible difference between the amount of CP violation as measured on the surface of the Earth and in a lower gravity environment. Our proposed experiment is model independent and could yield a $5\sigma$ measurement within tens of days, indicating a dependence of the level of CP violation in the neutral kaon system on the local gravitational potential.

Based on experimental data by the Bell Collaboration, we present a phenomenological analysis of the angular distributions in tau- -->K_S pi-nu_tau decay. Our study shows that the angular analysis could lead to some interesting observables, and the future experimental investigation of these observables might be very helpful in revealing the nature of the scalar components of the decay. New physics contributions from the two-Higgs-doublet model to this decay have also been examined.

Massive $U(1)$ gauge theories featuring parametrically light vectors are suspected to belong in the Swampland of consistent EFTs that cannot be embedded into a theory of quantum gravity. We study four-dimensional, chiral $U(1)$ gauge theories that appear anomalous over a range of energies up to the scale of anomaly-cancelling massive chiral fermions. We show that such theories require to be UV-completed at a finite cutoff below which a radial mode must appear, and cannot be decoupled -- a St\"uckelberg limit does not exist. When the infrared fermion spectrum contains a mixed $U(1)$-gravitational anomaly, this class of theories provides a toy model of a boundary into the Swampland, for sufficiently small values of the vector mass. In this context, we show that the limit of a parametrically light vector comes at the cost of a quantum gravity scale that lies parametrically below $M_{Pl}$, and our result provides field theoretic evidence for the existence of a Swampland of EFTs that is disconnected from the subset of theories compatible with a gravitational UV-completion. Moreover, when the low energy theory also contains a $U(1)^3$ anomaly, the Weak Gravity Conjecture scale makes an appearance in the form of a quantum gravity cutoff for values of the gauge coupling above a certain critical size.

We study the conserved charge fluctuations, as quantified by the corresponding susceptibilities, in strongly interacting matter as motived by the quark-gluon plasma. Using the gauge-gravity correspondence approach, we study the patterns of conserved charge fluctuations in two types of holographic models for QCD, the D4/D8 and the D3/D7 models. We compute and compare the quark number susceptibilities in both models and find an interesting common feature of the two: at very strong coupling higher order susceptibilities are suppressed and the conserved charge fluctuations become purely Guassian. In light of the state-of-the-art lattice QCD results we also discuss what we can learn from these susceptibilities about the underlying degrees of freedom in the $1\sim 2T_c$ quark-gluon plasma and examine the viability of different ideas such as holography, quasi-particles, as well as bound states. From analyzes of second order susceptibilities we conclude that the bound states exist and are important in the $1\sim 2T_c$ region. We further construct and make predictions for several ratios of fourth-order susceptibilities that can sensitively reveal such bound states.

We study the scenarios where a strongly first-order electroweak phase transition (EWPT) is triggered by a light singlet scalar, which has feeble interactions to the Higgs. Since the singlet scalar is light and has weak couplings, it can decay at a macroscopic distance away from the collision point. Therefore, it can be regarded as a long-lived particles (LLP) in such scenarios. We perform the searches of the LLPs from the exotic Higgs decays, at the FASER, MAPP and CMS-Timing detectors of the 14 TeV HL-LHC, to probe the strongly first-order EWPT. In certain scenarios, we show that the LLP searches can help to reach the parameter space of the strongly first-order EWPT remarkably, where the searches for promptly exotic Higgs decays are not valid.

We study the effect of neutrino trapping on the phase diagram of dense, locally neutral three-flavor quark matter within the framework of a Nambu--Jona-Lasinio model. In the analysis, dynamically generated quark masses are taken into account self-consistently. The phase diagrams in the plane of temperature and quark chemical potential, as well as in the plane of temperature and lepton-number chemical potential are presented. We show that neutrino trapping favors two-flavor color superconductivity and disfavors the color-flavor-locked phase at intermediate densities of matter. At the same time, the location of the critical line separating the two-flavor color-superconducting phase and the normal phase of quark matter is little affected by the presence of neutrinos. The implications of these results for the evolution of protoneutron stars are briefly discussed.

A possiblity of measuring the cosmic neutrino temperature $\sim 1.9 K$ and other important quantities such as the chemical potential $\mu$ and the decoupling temperature $T_d$ is discussed, using the recently proposed process of photon irradiated neutrino pair emission from metastable atoms. The Pauli blocking effect of relic neutrinos reduces the rate by a large factor $\approx (1 + m_1/T_d)/4$ at the threshold of the lightest neutrino pair (of mass $2m_1$). Correction of linear order in $\mu$ near the mass thresholds can be used to improve the constraint on the lepton asymmetry.

We update the bounds on $R$-parity violating supersymmetry originating from meson oscillations in the $B^0_{d/s}$ and $K^0$ systems. To this end, we explicitly calculate all corresponding contributions from $R$-parity violating operators at the one-loop level, thereby completing and correcting existing calculations. We apply our results to the derivation of bounds on $R$-parity violating couplings, based on up-to-date experimental measurements. In addition, we consider the possibility of cancellations among flavor-changing contributions of various origins, e.g. from multiple $R$-parity violating couplings or $R$-parity conserving soft terms. Destructive interferences among new-physics contributions could then open phenomenologically allowed regions, for values of the parameters that are naively excluded when the parameters are varied individually.

In the gravitational effective theories including higher curvature terms, cosmological solutions can have nontrivial de Sitter fixed points. We study phenomenological implications of such points, focusing on a theory in which a massive scalar field is nonminimally coupled to the Euler density. We first analyze the phase portrait of the dynamical system and show that the fixed point can be a sink or a saddle, depending on the strength of the coupling. Then, we compute the perturbation spectra generated in the vicinity of the fixed point in order to investigate whether the fixed point may be considered as cosmic inflation. We find parameter regions that are consistent with the cosmological data, given that the anisotropies in the cosmic microwave background are seeded by the fluctuations generated near the fixed point. Future observation may be used to further constrain the coupling function of this model. We also comment briefly on the swampland conjecture.

In our previous work [Phys. Rev. D $\bf{101}$, 074025 (2020)], the photoproduction $\gamma p \to K^+ \Sigma^0(1385)$ has been investigated within an effective Lagrangian approach. There, the reaction amplitudes were constructed by considering the $t$-channel $K$ and $K^\ast(892)$ exchanges, $s$-channel $N$ contribution, $u$-channel $\Lambda$ exchange, generalized contact term, and a minimum number of $s$-channel $N$ and $\Delta$ resonance diagrams. It was found that the inclusion of one of the $N(1895){1/2}^-$, $\Delta(1900){1/2}^-$, and $\Delta(1930){5/2}^-$ resonances is essential to reproduce the available differential and total cross-section data for $\gamma p \to K^+ \Sigma^0(1385)$. In the present work, we employ the same model to study the photoproduction $\gamma n \to K^+ \Sigma^-(1385)$, with the purpose being to understand the reaction mechanism and, in particular, to figure out which one of the $N(1895){1/2}^-$, $\Delta(1900){1/2}^-$, and $\Delta(1930){5/2}^-$ resonances is really capable for a simultaneous description of the data for both $K^+ \Sigma^0(1385)$ and $K^+ \Sigma^-(1385)$ photoproduction reactions. The results show that the available data on differential and total cross sections and photo-beam asymmetries for $\gamma n \to K^+ \Sigma^-(1385)$ can be reproduced only with the inclusion of the $\Delta(1930){5/2}^-$ resonance rather than the other two. The generalized contact term and the $t$-channel $K$ exchange are found to dominate the background contributions. The resonance $\Delta(1930){5/2}^-$ provides the most important contributions in the whole energy region considered, and it is responsible for the bump structure exhibited in the total cross sections.

We study the complete one loop contribution to H^\pm\to W^\pm V, V= Z, \gamma, both in the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM) and in the Two Higgs Doublet Model (2HDM). We evaluate the MSSM contributions and compare them with the 2HDM ones taking into account b\to s\gamma constraint, vacuum stability and unitarity constraints in the case of 2HDM, as well as experimental constraints on the MSSM and 2HDM parameters. In the MSSM, we found that in the intermediate range of \tan\beta \la 10 and for large A_t, the branching ratio of H^\pm \to W^{\pm} Z can be of the order 10^{-3} while the branching ratio of H^\pm \to W^{\pm} \gamma is of the order 10^{-5}. We also study the effects of the CP violating phases of Soft SUSY parameters and found that they can modify the branching ratio by about one order of magnitude. However, in the 2HDM where the Higgs sector is less constrained as compared to the MSSM higgs sector, one can reach branching ratio of the order 10^{-2} for both modes.

We review the prospects of probing $R$-parity violating Supersymmetry (RPV SUSY) at neutrino telescopes using some of the highest energy particles given to us by Nature. The presence of RPV interactions involving ultra-high energy neutrinos with Earth-matter can lead to resonant production of TeV-scale SUSY partners of the SM quarks and leptons (squarks and sleptons), thereby giving rise to potentially anomalous behavior in the event spectrum observed by large-volume neutrino detectors, such as IceCube, as well as balloon-borne cosmic ray experiments, such as ANITA. Using the ultra-high energy neutrino events observed recently at IceCube, with the fact that for a given power-law flux of astrophysical neutrinos, there is no statistically significant deviation in the current data from the Standard Model expectations, we derive robust upper limits on the RPV couplings as a function of the resonantly-produced squark mass, independent of the other unknown model parameters, as long as the squarks decay dominantly to two-body final states involving leptons and quarks through the RPV couplings. Also, we discuss RPV SUSY interpretations of the recent anomalous, upward-going EeV air showers observed at ANITA, in terms of long-lived charged or neutral next-to-lightest SUSY particles.

We shortly report on the two-photon decay width of the light $\sigma$-meson interpreted as a quarkonium state. Results are given in dependence on the $\sigma$-mass and the constituent mass of the light quark. The triangle quark-loop diagram, responsible for the two-photon transition, is carefully evaluated: a term in the transition amplitude, often omitted in literature, results in destructive interference with the leading term. As a result we show that the two-photon decay width of the $\sigma $ in the quarkonium picture is less than 1 keV for the physical range of parameters.

In this contribution we present the main results of the investigation about double parton scattering (DPS) in quasi-real photon-proton interactions. We show the first evaluation of the DPS cross-section at leading-order for the four-jet photo-production observed at HERA. To this aim the $\gamma-p$ effective cross section has been computed for the first time. One of the main outcomes of this analysis is that the DPS contribution is not negligible and potentially measurable. Furthermore, possible future data could be used to get new information on the transverse proton structure not accessible in other processes.

The processes e+e- -> t tbar/b bbar + Higgs allow to measure the Yukawa couplings between Higgs bosons and heavy quarks in supersymmetric theories. The complete set of next-to-leading order SUSY-QCD corrections to the cross sections of these processes have been determined in the minimal supersymmetric extension of the Standard Model. They turn out to be O(10-20%) and thus important for future linear e+e- colliders.

The standard model flavor structure can be explained in theories where the fermions are localized on different points in a compact extra dimension. We explain how models with two bulk scalars compactified on an orbifold can produce such separations in a natural way. We show that, generically, models of Gaussian overlaps are unnatural since they require very large Yukawa couplings between the fermions and the bulk scalars. We present a two scalar model that accounts naturally for the quark flavor parameters and in particular yields order one CP violating phase.

Weak radiative decays of beauty baryons into strange baryons, induced by the electroweak penguin, are estimated by using a quark model approach. Relations between formfactors in the semileptonic and in the weak radiative decays are derived within the heavy quark effective theory. The partial decay widths are found to be of the order of $10^{-15}{\rm MeV}$ for $\Lambda_b\rightarrow\Lambda\gamma$ and $\Xi_b\rightarrow\Xi\gamma$ and of the oder of $10^{-13}{\rm MeV}$ for $\Omega_b\rightarrow\Omega\gamma$. The $\Omega_b$ radiative decay is thus expected at the sizable branching ratio of approximately $10^{-4}$.

Estimates of differential cross sections and longitudinal asymmetries are presented for the reactions $\bar pp\to \bar \Xi\Xi$ and $\bar pp\to \bar \Xi_c\Xi_c$ at energies $\sqrt{s}\lesssim 15$ GeV. The $\Xi$ and $\Xi_c$ hyperons are assumed to be produced in two-step processes: first, intermediate $\bar\Lambda\Lambda$ and/or $\bar\Lambda_c\Lambda_c$ states are created which are converted afterwards into final states $\bar \Xi\Xi$, $\bar \Xi_c\Xi_c$ and $\bar \Xi_c\Xi_c$. The full amplitudes are described by loop diagrams within a modified Regge model, based on the topological decomposition of planar quark diagrams. A strong sensitivity of the ratio of yields of $\bar \Xi_c\Xi_c$ to $\bar \Xi\Xi$ and of $\bar \Lambda_c\Lambda_c$ to $\bar \Lambda\Lambda$ to the degree of SU(4) symmetry violation is found.

Annual modulation of event rate and electron recoil energy in inelastic scattering direct detection experiments

In 2020 the XENON1T experiment observed an excess of events with an electron recoil energy $E_R$ in the range of $2\,$--$\,3\,$keV. Such an excess can arise from a variety of sources such as solar axions or a neutrino magnetic moment, but also from inelastic scattering of dark matter off the xenon atoms. The recoil energy of the electron then depends on the mass difference of the dark particles. In this paper we show that the annual modulation of both the event rate and the electron recoil energy provide important additional information that allows to distinguish among different theoretical explanations of the signal. To this end, we first extend the formalism of annual modulation to electronic recoils, inelastic dark matter scattering and the electron recoil energy. We then study a concrete theoretical model with two Dirac fermions and a dark photon. We take into account all relevant cosmological and experimental constraints on this model and apply it to the XENON1T and and XENONnT experiments with realistic detection thresholds, efficiencies and energy resolutions, fitting the main physical parameters of the model, i.e. the mass splitting and the electron scattering cross section. The discriminatory power of the additional information from the annual modulation of both the signal rate and the electron recoil energy is then demonstrated for XENONnT with a simplified model based on these main physical parameters. This more sensitive procedure compared to time-only modulation analyses can also serve as a template for other theoretical models with different dark matter candidates, mediators and cosmology. For the $U(1)$ model with two Dirac fermions fitting the XENON1T excess and the experimental conditions of XENONnT, taking into account the annual variation of the signal rate and recoil energy allows for a faster and more precise determination of the free model parameters.
