We propose a possibility of spontaneous CP-violation (SCPV) at high scale in a SUSY SO(10) theory. The model is L-R symmetric SUSY SO(10) with \textbf{\noun{10}} and \textbf{126} dimensional Higgs generating fermion masses, and the CP phase is generated through complex VEV of B-L breaking \textbf{126} Higgs . The model can have potential application in explaining $\nu$ masses and leptogenesis as well.

We proceed to study the $CP$ asymmetry in the angular distributions of $\tau\to K_S\pi\nu_\tau$ decays within a general effective field theory framework including four-fermion operators up to dimension-six. It is found that, besides the commonly considered scalar-vector interference, the tensor-scalar interference can also produce a non-zero $CP$ asymmetry in the angular distributions. Bounds on the effective couplings of the non-standard scalar and tensor interactions are obtained under the combined constraints from the measured $CP$ asymmetries and the branching ratio of $\tau^-\to K_S\pi^-\nu_\tau$ decay, with $\mathrm{Im}[\hat{\epsilon}_S]=-0.008\pm0.027$ and $\mathrm{Im}[\hat{\epsilon}_T]=0.03\pm0.12$, at the scale $\mu_\tau=2~\mathrm{GeV}$ in the $\mathrm{\overline{MS}}$ scheme. Using the best-fit values, we also find that the distributions of the $CP$ asymmetries can deviate significantly from the SM expectation in almost the whole $K\pi$ invariant-mass region. Nevertheless, the current bounds are still plagued by large experimental uncertainties, but will be improved with more precise measurements from Belle II as well as the proposed Tera-Z and STCF facilities. Assuming further that the non-standard scalar and tensor interactions originate from a weakly-coupled heavy new physics well above the electroweak scale, the $SU(2)_L$ invariance of the resulting SMEFT Lagrangian would indicate that very strong limits on $\mathrm{Im}[\hat{\epsilon}_S]$ and $\mathrm{Im}[\hat{\epsilon}_T]$ could also be obtained from the neutron electric dipole moment and the $D^0-\bar{D}^0$ mixing. With the bounds from these processes taken into account, it is then found that, unless there exist extraordinary cancellations between the new physics contributions, neither the scalar nor the tensor interaction can produce any significant effects on the $CP$ asymmetries in the processes considered.

Neutrinos with a magnetic moment $\mu$ change their helicity when interacting with an electromagnetic field. Various aspects of this effect have been described as spin precession, spin-flip scattering, and magnetic Cherenkov radiation. These perspectives are unified in an expression for the $\nu_L\to\nu_R$ transition rate which involves the correlators of the electromagnetic field distribution. Our general formula corrects a previous result and generalizes it to the case where the fields cannot be viewed as classical and where the momentum transfers need not be small. We evaluate our result explicitly for a relativistic QED plasma and determine the depolarization rate to leading order in the fine structure constant. Assuming that big-bang nucleosynthesis constraints do not allow a right-handed neutrino in equilibrium we derive the limit $\mu<6.2\EE{-11}\mu_B$ on the neutrino magnetic moment. Bounds on $\mu$ from a possible large scale magnetic fields are found to be more stringent even for very weak fields

We propose a method to experimentally study the equation of state of strongly interacting matter created at the early stage of nucleus--nucleus collisions. The method exploits the relation between relative entropy and energy fluctuations and equation of state. As a measurable quantity, the ratio of properly filtered multiplicity to energy fluctuations is proposed. Within a statistical approach to the early stage of nucleus-nucleus collisions, the fluctuation ratio manifests a non--monotonic collision energy dependence with a maximum in the domain where the onset of deconfinement occurs.

We revisit the $DD^\ast$ interactions in chiral effective field theory up to the third order for the first time. We deal with the pion-exchanged interactions via local momentum-space regularization, in which we focus on their long-range behaviors through demanding their contributions vanish at the origin in the coordinate space. The short-range contact interactions and subleading pion-charmed meson couplings are estimated with the phenomenological resonance saturation model. The subleading pion-charmed meson couplings are much weaker than those in the pion-nucleon system, thus the $DD^\ast$ binding mechanism is very different with that of the $NN$ system. We also obtain the analytic structure of the two-pion exchange interactions in the coordinate space, and we find that its asymptotic behavior at long distance is similar to but slightly different with the $NN$ interactions. We get the same asymptotic behavior of the two-pion exchange interaction with that from HAL QCD method but appearing in the longer distance rather than $1 <r<2\text{ fm}$. The binding solution only exists in the isoscalar channel. Our calculation supports the molecular interpretation of $T_{cc}^+$.

Clustering is one of the most frequent problems in many domains, in particular, in particle physics where jet reconstruction is central in experimental analyses. Jet clustering at the CERN's Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is computationally expensive and the difficulty of this task will increase with the upcoming High-Luminosity LHC (HL-LHC). In this paper, we study the case in which quantum computing algorithms might improve jet clustering by considering two novel quantum algorithms which may speed up the classical jet clustering algorithms. The first one is a quantum subroutine to compute a Minkowski-based distance between two data points, whereas the second one consists of a quantum circuit to track the maximum into a list of unsorted data. The latter algorithm could be of value beyond particle physics, for instance in statistics. When one or both of these algorithms are implemented into the classical versions of well-known clustering algorithms (K-means, Affinity Propagation and $k_T$-jet) we obtain efficiencies comparable to those of their classical counterparts. Even more, exponential speed-up could be achieved, in the first two algorithms, in data dimensionality and data length when the distance algorithm or the maximum searching algorithm are applied.

Equivalence of the hidden local symmetry formulation with non-minimal interactions and the anti-symmetric tensor field method of $\rho$ and $a_1$ mesons in the chiral lagrangian is shown by using the auxiliary field method. Violation of the KSRF I relation, which becomes important in the application of chiral lagrangian to {\em non QCD-like} technicolor models can be parametrized by non-minimal coupling in the hidden local symmetry formalism keeping low energy theorem of hidden local symmetry. We also obtain explicit correspondence of parameters in both formulations.

Near the flavor SU(3) limit, we propose an analytical description for color-flavor-locked-type Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer (BCS) phase in the Nambu Jona-Lasinio (NJL) model. The diquark behaviors in light-flavor and strange-flavor-involved channels and Bose-Einstein condensation (BEC) of bound diquark states are studied. When the attractive interaction between quarks is strong enough, a BCS-BEC crossover is predicted in the environment with color-flavor-locked pairing pattern. The resulting Bose-Einstein condensed phase is found to be an intergrade phase before the emergence of the previous-predicted BEC phase in two-flavor quark superconductor.

We investigate the di-Higgs production at the Large Hadron Collider in the two-Higgs doublet model (2HDM). In particular, we study the production of an extra neutral Higgs boson $\phi$ in association with the Standard Model (SM) Higgs boson $h$ in the Higgs alignment limit. We analyze two scenarios where the additional Higgs $\phi$ is CP-even or -odd state with a large top-Yukawa interaction. The leading contribution of this production comes from the top-quark loop-induced gluon-fusion channel $gg \to h\phi$. The measurement of the $h\phi$ production can probe the quartic couplings in the Higgs potential as well as the top-Yukawa couplings. Imposing both theoretical constraints (from the perturbative unitarity and the vacuum stability bounds) and experimental bounds (from the SM Higgs and flavor physics measurements) on the 2HDM parameter space, we calculate the production cross-section of $gg \to h\phi$. Furthermore, we scrutinize these processes in the parameter spaces where the CMS di-tau and di-photon excesses around 100$\,$GeV, and/or the muon $g-2$ anomaly can be accommodated.

A helicity asymmetry for top quarks originating from Higgs boson decays is investigated within the 2-Higgs Doublet Model. The asymmetry is sensitive to CP violation in the scalar sector of the model, whereas it vanishes in the Standard Model. It has been checked that without any fine tuning of parameters the asymmetry can reach $50\%$. Standard decay patterns $\twbdec$ and $\tbwbdec$ are utilized as spin analyzers to measure the asymmetry. The Higgs production mechanism considered here is $\hprod$. It has been shown that signal from the asymmetry can easy overcome the noise for Higgs bosons produced in future linear $\epem$ colliders at energy $\sqrt{s}=500\gev$ operating with integrated luminosity $L=2.0\times10^4\lumun$.

We investigate the phenomenology of the Higgs sector of the minimal $B-L$ extension of the Standard Model. We present results for both the foreseen energy stages of the Large Hadron Collider ($\sqrt s=7$ and 14 TeV). We show that in such a scenario several novel production and decay channels involving the two physical Higgs states could be accessed at such a machine. Amongst these, several Higgs signatures have very distinctive features with respect to those of other models with enlarged Higgs sector, as they involve interactions of Higgs bosons between themselves, with $Z'$ bosons as well as with heavy neutrinos.

We investigate the phenomenology of the Higgs sector of the minimal $B-L$ extension of the Standard Model. We present results for both the foreseen energy stages of the Large Hadron Collider ($\sqrt s=7$ and 14 TeV). We show that in such a scenario several novel production and decay channels involving the two physical Higgs states could be accessed at such a machine. Amongst these, several Higgs signatures have very distinctive features with respect to those of other models with enlarged Higgs sector, as they involve interactions of Higgs bosons between themselves, with $Z'$ bosons as well as with heavy neutrinos.

Working with a ${\cal U}(1)$ flavor symmetry, we show how the hierarchical structure in the charged fermion sector and a democratic approach for neutrinos that yields large solar and atmospheric neutrino mixings can be simultaneously realized in the MSSM framework. However, in SU(5) due to the unified multiplets we encounter difficulties. Namely, democracy for the neutrinos leads to a wrong hierarchical pattern for charged fermion masses and mixings. We discuss how this is overcome in flipped SU(5).

The lightest neutralino is a compelling candidate to account for cold dark matter in the universe in supersymmetric theories with $R$--parity. In the CP-invariant theory, the neutralino relic density can be found in accord with recent WMAP data if neutralino annihilation in the early universe occurs via the s-channel $A$ funnel. In contrast, in the CP-noninvariant theory two heavy neutral Higgs bosons can contribute to the Higgs funnel mechanism significantly due to a CP-violating {\it complex} mixing between two heavy states, in particular, when they are almost degenerate. With a simple analytic and numerical analysis, we demonstrate that the CP-violating Higgs mixing can modify the profile of the neutralino relic density {\it considerably} in the heavy Higgs funnel with the neutralino mass close to half of the heavy Higgs masses.

QCD predicts soft radiation patterns that are particularly simple for $W+ {jet}$ production. We demonstrate how these patterns can be used to distinguish between the parton-level subprocesses probabilistically on an event-by-event basis. As a test of our method we demonstrate correlations between the soft radiation and the radiation inside the outgoing jet.

Constraints on the two Higgs doublet model are presented, assuming a top mass of 174 $\pm$ 17 GeV. We concentrate primarily on the ``type II'' model, where up--type quarks receive their mass from one Higgs doublet, and down--type quarks receive their mass from the second doublet. High energy constraints derived from the $W$ mass, the full width of the $Z$ and the $b \bar b$ partial width of the $Z$ are combined with low energy constraints from $\Gamma(b\to s \gamma)$, $\Gamma(b \to c \tau \bar\nu_\tau)$ and $B^0$-$\bar B^0$ mixing to determine the experimentally favored configurations of the model. This combination of observables rules out small charged Higgs masses and small values of $\tan\beta$, and provides some information about the neutral Higgs masses and the mixing angle $\alpha$. In particular, constraints derived from the $\rho$ parameter rule out configurations where the charged Higgs is much heavier or much lighter than the neutral Higgses. We discuss a scenario where $\Gamma(Z\to b \bar b)$ is enhanced relative to the standard model result, which unfortunately is on the verge of being ruled out by the combination of $\Gamma(b\to s \gamma)$ and $\rho$ parameter constraints. Implications for various extensions of the standard model are briefly discussed.

Extending the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model with three right-handed neutrino superfields is one of the best motivated scenarios for physics beyond the Standard Model. However, very little is known from observations about the high energy parameters of this model. In this paper we show, under the plausible assumptions that the neutrino Yukawa eigenvalues are hierarchical and the absence of cancellations, that there exists an upper bound on the smallest Yukawa eigenvalue stemming from the non-observation of the rare lepton decay mu --> e gamma. Furthermore, we show that this bound implies an upper bound on the lightest right-handed neutrino mass of approximately 5x10^12 GeV for typical supersymmetric parameters. We also discuss the implications of this upper bound for the minimal leptogenesis scenario based on the decay of the lightest right-handed neutrino and we argue that an improvement of sensitivity of six orders of magnitude to the process mu --> e gamma could rule out this mechanism as the origin of the observed baryon asymmetry, unless the neutrino parameters take very specific values.

We firstly examine hadroproduction of prompt J/psi's at the Fermilab Tevatron in a Monte Carlo Framework by means of the event generator PYTHIA 5.7 in which those colour-octet matrix elements processes relevant for charmonium production have been implemented accordingly. We find that colour-octet matrix elements presented in literature from p-pbar collider data are systematically overestimated due to overlooking of the effective primordial transverse momentum of partons (i.e. including higher-order QCD effects). We estimate the size of these effects using different parton distribution functions. Finally, after normalization to Tevatron data, we extrapolate up to LHC energies making a prediction on the expected pt differential cross-section for charmonium.

Our analytical results provide a non-trivial check of the color quadrupole contribution to the infrared poles for external states in different color representations. At high energies, the $qg \to qg$ amplitude shows the predicted factorized form from Regge theory and confirms previous results for the gluon Regge trajectory extracted from $qq' \to qq'$ and $gg \to gg$ scattering.

We determine the radiative corrections to the masses of the gauginos and Higgsinos in the MSSM, including all sectors of the theory in a one-loop calculation in the on-mass-shell renormalization scheme. We find that a gluino which is massless at tree level receives a mass of between 0 and 3 GeV, primarily due to the top/stop contribution. This radiatively generated mass depends directly on the off-diagonal element of the squark mass matrix. In the case of a massive gluino, its mass receives typically large corrections, as large as 40\% for a 125 GeV gluino. We find that the contributions to the neutralino and chargino mass corrections from the gauge/Higgs/gaugino/Higgsino sector are typically +-1%. The lightest neutralino, which can receive corrections larger than 25%, receives 5% corrections over most of the parameter space. We combine our results with the results of LEP and CDF searches to obtain the lower bounds on the neutralino and chargino masses at one-loop. We also demonstrate how the radiative corrections affect the presently excluded region of parameter space.

In the standard model (SM), pair production rate of Higgs boson at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is quite low. One usually think that it is extremely important for the measurement of triple Higgs coupling at the high luminosity LHC. In this paper, we propose to search for the extra Higgs boson (denoted as $S$) utilizing pair production of the SM-like Higgs boson ($H$) which was discovered in July, 2012.The pair production of $H$ can be huge due to the resonant production of heavy scalar $S$, namely $PP \rightarrow S \rightarrow HH$. The couplings of $H$ with weak gauge boson are similar to ones in the SM and it implies that the couplings between $S$ and gauge bosons are likely suppressed. Provided that $S$ is heavy enough, the decay into weak gauge bosons may not be the dominant modes. Instead $S$ can decay into a pair of $H$ and offer the promising channel to discover it. In this paper, we studied the 5 promising decay modes of $H$, i.e. $b\bar{b}$, $WW^*$, $ZZ^*$, $\gamma\gamma$ and $\tau^+\tau^-$, and simulated the signals and backgrounds for the 15 combination modes for $HH$ at the LHC with $\sqrt{s}= 14$ TeV and integrated luminosity $\mathcal{L}=1000fb^{-1}$. We found that with the help of suitable selection rules, very good signal to background ratio $S/B$ can be archived in many decay channels, for example $b\bar b+ (WW^*, ZZ^*, \gamma\gamma, \tau^+\tau^-)$, $WW^*+(WW^*, ZZ^*, \gamma\gamma, \tau^+\tau^-)$ and $\tau^+\tau^- +(\gamma\gamma, \tau^+\tau^-)$. For the detailed results please refer to Table \ref{tab:discovery} in the text. On the contrary, $b\bar b b\bar b$ mode is less important due to the huge QCD background. However if one has excellent control on light jet mis-tagging, the $b\bar b b\bar b$ mode can be promising to discover the extra Higgs boson due to its the largest branching ratio compared to other modes.

The method used to extract those cross sections is explained and discussed in detail. Our result for T_p = 2.85 GeV is consistent with the data point from a direct measurement at the same beam energy. The cross section obtained for T_p = 2.3 GeV is with 13.7\pm2.3 \mu b considerably smaller than the value found in a recent experiment by the COSY-11 Collaboration at a somewhat lower beam energy, indicating that the pp -> K^+\Sigma^+n reaction cross section could exhibit a rather unusual energy dependence.

The CP violation required in leptogenesis may have different origin, but in an effective theory they all are related to the rephasing invariant CP violating measure in the mixing matrix of the leptonic sector. We point out that the maximum amount of CP violation in some models can be estimated with our present knowledge of the neutrino mixing angles, which can help us understand the CP violation in the generation of the lepton asymmetry of the universe. For example, the possibility of leptogenesis may be ruled out in some models from an knowledge of the effective neutrino mass matrix.

We calculate the complete next-to-leading order QCD corrections to the three-body decay of gluino into top-pair associated with a lightest neutralino in the minimal supersymmetric standard model. We obtain that the LO and NLO QCD corrected decay widths of $\tilde{g} \to t \bar{t} \tilde{\chi}_1^0$ at the ${\rm SPS 6}$ benchmark point are $0.1490 GeV$ and 0.1069 GeV respectively, and the relative correction is -28.2%. We investigate the dependence of the QCD correction to $\tilde{g} \to t \bar{t} \tilde{\chi}_1^0$ on $\tan\beta$ and the masses of gluino, scalar top quarks and the lightest neutralino around the ${\rm SPS6}$ benchmark point, separately. We find that the NLO QCD corrections suppress the LO decay width, and the absolute relative correction can exceed 30% in some parameter space. Therefore, the QCD corrections to the three-body decay $\tilde{g} \to t\bar{t}\tilde{\chi}^0_1$ should be taken into account for the precise experimental measurement at future colliders. Moreover, we study the distributions of the top-pair invariant mass ($M_{t\bar t}$) and the missing energy ($E^{miss}$), and find that the line shapes of the LO distributions of $M_{t\bar t}$ and $E^{miss}$ are not obviously distorted by the NLO QCD corrections.

The rapidity distribution of gluons produced in heavy ion collisions is studied by a numerical computation in 2+1-dimensional classical Yang-Mills theory. By assuming that the classical source strength g^2 mu depends on rapidity as g^4 mu^2 ~ exp(+- lambda y) and studying collisions of two nuclei with different g^2 mu we find that the rapidity distribution of produced gluons at central rapidities is very broad. The transverse energy is seen to decrease even more slowly as a function of y than the multiplicity. We discuss these results and the range in y and sqrt(s) where they are applicable in the light of experimental results and other theoretical calculations.

An analysis involving the light front variables of inclusively produced hadrons in proton-proton (pp) collisions to study the thermalisation and formation of a QGP-like medium is presented in this paper. Two schemes of analysis are discussed and performed with inclusively produced $\pi^{\pm}$, $K^{\pm}$ and $p(\bar{p})$ in the central pp collisions at $\sqrt{s} = 13$ TeV simulated using the PYTHIA 8 event generator. It is shown that a group of $\pi^{\pm}$ and $K^{\pm}$ falling inside a paraboloid defined by a certain constant value of the light front variable in their respective phase space follows the Bose-Einstein statistics while the $p(\bar{p})$ inside the similar paraboloid in its phase space follows the Fermi-Dirac statistics. It is also shown that for the $\pi^{\pm}$, $K^{\pm}$ and $p(\bar{p})$ with transverse momentum $p_{T} < 1$ GeV in these collisions, a polynomial in $p_T$ can be constructed for a specific light front variable of the particle $\zeta_c (p_T)$ such that the $\pi^{\pm}$ and $K^{\pm}$ with their light front variable $\zeta^{\pm} > \zeta_c (p_T)$ follows Bose-Einstein statistics while the $p(\bar{p})$ with $\zeta^{\pm} > \zeta_c (p_T)$ follows the Fermi-Dirac statistics. The analysis can serve as a baseline for an investigation towards the QGP formation and thermalisation in the pp collisions at LHC.

We propose a method to determine the effective potential of QCD from the gap equation, by introducing the homotopy method between the solutions of the equation of motion. Via this method, the effective potential beyond the bare vertex approximation is obtained, which then generalizes the Cornwall, Jackiw and Tomboulis (CJT) effective potential for the bilocal composite operators. Moreover, the extended effective potential is set to be a function of self energy instead of the propagator, which is the key point for the potential to be bounded from below. We then investigate the extended effective potential in the cases of phase transition of the QCD vacuum with a small current quark mass, and the first-order phase transition of QCD at finite temperature and high baryon chemical potential. In the former case, the effective potential shows as an inflection point at the critical mass where the multiple solutions of the Dyson-Schwinger equation (DSE) vanishes, which is consistent with that obtained by solving the DSE directly. For the latter case, the in-medium properties, such as the latent heat and the difference of trace anomaly, of QCD is obtained.

The McLerran-Venugopalan (MV) model is a Gaussian effective theory of color charge fluctuations at small-$x$ in the limit of large valence charge density, {\it i}.{\it e}., a large nucleus made of uncorrelated color charges. In this work, we explore the effects of the first non-trivial (even C-parity) non-Gaussian correction on the color charge density to the MV model ("quartic" term) in SU(2) and SU(3) color group in the non-perturbative regime. We compare our (numerical) non-perturbative results to (analytical) perturbative ones in the limit of small or large non-Gaussian fluctuations. The couplings in the non-Gaussian action, $\bar\mu$ for the quadratic and $\kappa_4$ for the quartic term, need to be renormalized in order to match the two-point function in the Gaussian theory. We investigate three different choices for the renormalization of these couplings: i) $\kappa_{4}$ is proportional to a power of $\bar\mu$; ii) $\kappa_4$ is kept constant and iii) $\bar\mu$ is kept constant. We find that the first two choices lead to a scenario where the small-$x$ action evolves towards a theory dominated by large non-Gaussian fluctuations, regardless of the system size, while the last one allows for controlling the deviations from the MV model.

Separation of scales in quantum field theories is essential when studying the low-energy phenomenology of a given UV model. To this end, it is necessary to construct an effective field theory containing only the light degrees of freedom and matching it to the full theory, ensuring that both describe the same low-energy dynamics. Performing this matching beyond the leading order is crucial, as a great number of observables, like FCNC, only appear at the loop level in the Standard Model and in many new physics scenarios. One possibility to obtain the low-energy theory is by integrating out the heavy particles from the full theory using path integral techniques. We review this functional matching procedure at the one-loop level and discuss common challenges involved in determining the matching conditions for effective theories. Due to the great diversity of beyond the Standard Model theories and the complexity of the matching computations, an automation of this procedure is desirable. On this matter, we present the ongoing effort to develop the Mathematica package Matchete facilitating the fully automatic matching for a broad range of theories. When completed, this will significantly simplify the analysis of the low-energy phenomenology of beyond the Standard Model physics. These proceedings are based on arXiv:2012.08506 and work in progress.

The various experimental bounds on flavor-changing interactions severely restrict the low-energy flavor structures of soft supersymmetry breaking parameters. In this work, we show that with a particular assumption of Yukawa couplings, the fermion mass and sfermion soft mass matrices are simultaneously diagonalized by common mixing matrices and we then obtain an alignment solution for the flavor problems. The required condition is generated by renormalization group evolutions and achieved at low-energy scale independently of high-energy structures of couplings. In this case, the diagonal entries of the soft scalar mass matrices are determined by gaugino and Higgs soft masses. We also discuss possible realizations of this scenario and the characteristic sparticle spectrum in the models.

We argue that the QCD matter not far above a critical confinement-deconfinement baryon density and low temperatures can develop spontaneously the condensates of spin-one quark Cooper pairs. Depending upon their color these condensates characterize two distinct anisotropic color-superconducting phases. For them we derive the generic form of the quasiquark dispersion laws and the gap equation. We also visualize the soft Nambu-Goldstone modes of spontaneously broken global symmetries, and demonstrate an unusual form of the Meissner effect.}]

The post-inflationary breaking of Peccei-Quinn (PQ) symmetry can lead to the cosmic domain wall catastrophe. In this Letter we show how to avoid domain walls implementing the Instanton Interference Effect (IIE) with a new interaction which itself breaks PQ symmetry and confines at an energy scale smaller than $\Lambda_{QCD}$. We give a general description of the mechanism and consider its cosmological implications and constraints within a minimal model. Contrary to other mechanisms we do not require an inverse phase transition neither fine-tuned bias terms. Incidentally, the mechanism leads to the introduction of new self-interacting dark matter candidates and the possibility of producing gravitational waves in the frequency range of SKA. Unless a fine-tuned hidden sector is introduced, the mechanism predicts a QCD axion in the mass range $1\text{ meV}-15\text{ meV}$.

Light Dark Matter (DM), defined here as having a mass between 1 MeV and about 1 GeV, is an interesting possibility both theoretically and phenomenologically, at one of the frontiers of current progress in the field of DM searches. Its indirect detection via gamma-rays is challenged by the scarcity of experiments in the MeV-GeV region. We look therefore at lower-energy X-ray data from the Integral telescope, and compare them with the predicted DM flux. We derive bounds which are competitive with existing ones from other techniques. Crucially, we include the contribution from inverse Compton scattering on galactic radiation fields and the CMB, which leads to much stronger constraints than in previous studies for DM masses above 20 MeV.

The di-fermion angular distribution observed in decays of inclusively produced vector particles is characterized by two frame-independent observables, reflecting the average spin-alignment of the produced particle and the magnitude of parity violation in the decay. The existence of these observables derives from the rotational properties of angular momentum eigenstates and is a completely general result, valid for any J=1 state and independent of the production process. Rotation-invariant formulations of polarization and of the decay parity-asymmetry can provide more significant measurements than the commonly used frame-dependent definitions, also improving the quality of the comparisons between the measurements and the theoretical calculations.

We study coherent Coulomb excitation of ultrarelativistic nuclei passing through the aligned crystal target. We develop multiple scattering theory description of this process which consistently incorporates both the specific resonant properties of particle-crystal interactions and the shadowing effect typical of the diffractive scattering. We emphasise that the effect of quantum mechanical diffraction makes the physics of ultrarelativistic nuclear excitations entirely different from the physics of non-relativistic atomic excitations experimentally studied so far. It is found that at small transverse momenta $q_{\perp}$ the shadowing effect drastically changes the dependence of coherent amplitudes on the crystal thickness $L$, from the widely discussed growth $\propto L$ typical of the Born approximation to the inverse thickness attenuation law. At relatively large $q_{\perp}$ no attenuation effect is found but the coherency condition is shown to put stringent constrain on the growth of the transition rate with growing $L$.

We investigate the possibility of detecting single sqaurk production at the proposed LHeC collider, in the framework of R-parity violating supersymmetry. Taking advantage of the enhancement of the direct resonance production of squark and the distinctive kinematics distributions of $\tilde{q}\rightarrow l q$ two body decay final states, the LHeC provides excellent opportunities of probing R-violating $\hat{L}\hat{Q}\hat{D}$ interactions at unprecedented level compared to all the knowledge derived from indirect low energy nucleon measurements. If no apparent deviation from SM predictions on high invariant mass of muon and b-quark final states at the LHeC with 1$fb^{-1}$ data, the sensitivities on $\hat{L}\hat{Q}\hat{D}$ coupling constant $\lambda^{'}_{131} \times \lambda^{'}_{233}$ can be improved by nearly four orders, at energy scale about 100 GeV.

In the framework of the classical Glauber approach, the analytical expressions for the variance of the number of wounded nucleons and binary collisions in AA interactions at a given centrality are presented. Along with the optical approximation term, they contain additional contact terms arising only in the case of nucleus-nucleus collisions. The magnitude of the additional contributions, e.g., for PbPb collisions at SPS energies, is larger than the contribution of the optical approximation at some values of the impact parameter. The sum of the additional contributions is in good agreement with the results of independent Monte Carlo simulations of this process. Due to these additional terms, the variance of the total number of participants for peripheral PbPb collisions and the variance of the number of collisions at all values of the impact parameter exceed several multiples of the Poisson variances. The correlator between the numbers of participants in colliding nuclei at fixed centrality is also analytically calculated.

The concepts of effective and dynamical neutrino mixing matrices are introduced in order to describe the behavior of neutrinos in matter. The former relates weak eigenstates to mass eigenstates, whereas the latter relates weak eigenstates to energy eigenstates in matter. It is shown that the dynamical mixing angles enable us to express the neutrino survival probability in the Sun without any resort to the Landau-Zener transition probability for the non-adiabatic process. Also discussed are effective CP violating phases that appear in the effective and dynamical mixing matrices in matter. Both two and three generation cases are discussed using the solar neutrinos as an example.

We investigate $\Xi(1690)^-$ production from the $K^-p\to K^+K^-\Lambda$ reaction within the effective Lagrangian approach at the tree-level Born approximation. We consider the $s$- and $u$-channel $\Sigma/\Lambda$ ground states and resonances for the $\Xi$-pole contributions, in addition to the $s$-channel $\Lambda$, $u$-channel nucleon pole, and $t$-channel $K^-$-exchange for the $\phi$-pole contributions. The $\Xi$-pole includes $\Xi(1320)$, $\Xi(1535)$, $\Xi(1690)(J^p=1/2^-)$,and $\Xi(1820)(J^p=3/2^-)$. We calculate the Dalitz plot density of $(d^2\sigma/dM_{K^+K^-}dM_{K^-\Lambda}$ at 4.2 GeV$/c$) and the total cross sections for the $K^-p\to K^+K^-\Lambda$ reaction near the threshold. The calculation results are in good agreement with previously acquired experimental data. Using the parameters from the fit, we present the total and differential cross sections for the two-body $K^-p\to K^+\Xi(1690)^-$ reaction near the threshold. In our calculation, a strong enhancement at backward $K^+$ angles is predicted because of the dominant $u$-channel contribution. We also demonstrate that the Dalitz plot analysis for $p_{K^-}=1.915 -- 2.065$ GeV/c enables us to access direct information regarding $\Xi(1690)^-$ production, which can be tested by future $K^-$ beam experiments. The possible spin-parity states of $\Xi(1690)^-$ are briefly discussed as well.

A system of light axions comprising a classical axion field, one candidate for dark matter, has an instability that would rapidly mix in photon pairs in a coherent fashion if the system were initially seeded by some tiny amount of such mixing. We develop equations that contain the mixing and at the same time incorporate enough quantum mechanics to eliminate the need for seeds. Extending to many modes brings many interesting issues to the fore. For example, the argument of the inevitable logarithmic factor in the mixing time becomes reduced by many orders of magnitude; concerns concerning red-shifts are laid to rest, as are those related to lumpiness of the original axion state. We further see that even the fully developed states of the electromagnetic field are completely non-classical in our solutions.

I briefly discuss effective Lagrangians for strong interactions while concentrating on two specific lagrangians for QCD at large matter density. I then introduce spectral duality in QCD a la Montonen and Olive. The latter is already present in QCD in the hadronic phase. However it becomes transparent at large chemical potential. Finally I show the relevance of having exact non perturbative constraints such as t'Hooft anomaly conditions at zero and nonzero quark chemical potential on the possible phases of strongly interacting matter. An important outcome is that for three massless quarks at any chemical potential the only non trivial solution of the constraints is chiral symmetry breaking. This also shows that for three massless flavors at large quark chemical potential CFL is the ground state.

We present precise predictions for the hadronic production of an on-shell Higgs boson in association with a leptonically decaying gauge boson and a jet up to order $\alpha_s^3$. We include the complete set of NNLO QCD corrections to both charged- and neutral-current Drell-Yan type contributions, as well as the previously known leading heavy quark loop induced contributions which involve a direct Higgs-quark coupling. As an application, we study a range of differential observables in proton-proton collisions at $\sqrt{s} = 13~\text{TeV}$ for both the charged- and neutral-current production modes. For each Higgs production process, we assess the improvement in the theoretical uncertainty for both the exclusive ($n_{\text{jet}} = 1$) and inclusive ($n_{\text{jet}} \geq 1$) jet categories. We find that the inclusion of the NNLO corrections to the Drell-Yan type contributions is essential in stabilising the predictions and in reducing the theoretical uncertainty for both inclusive and exclusive jet production for all three modes. This is particularly true in the kinematical regimes associated with low to medium values of the transverse momentum of the produced vector boson and where the differential cross sections are the largest. For the neutral-current process, we find that the heavy quark loop induced contributions have their largest phenomenological impact (an increase in the size of the NNLO corrections, a distortion of the distribution shape and an enlargement of the left over remaining uncertainties) in kinematical regions associated to large values of $p_{T,Z}$ (typically above $150~\text{GeV}$) where the cross sections are smaller.

We study the fine splitting in charmonium spectrum in quark model with the channel coupling effect, including $DD$, $DD^*$, $D^*D^*$ and $D_sD_s$, $D_sD_s^*$, $D_s^*D_s^*$ channels. The interaction for channel coupling is constructed from the current-current Lagrangian related to the color confinement and the one-gluon exchange potentials. By adopting the massive gluon propagator from the lattice calculation in the nonperturbative region, the coupling interaction is further simplified to the four-fermion interaction. The numerical calculation still prefers the assignment $1^{++}$ of X(3872).

Three topics about the application of quenched chiral perturbation theory to matter fields are studied. It is proved that the hairpin axial current couplings in quenched chiral perturbation theories do not contribute to the quenched chiral singularities for one chiral loop renormalization of matter field properties.

Three topics about the application of quenched chiral perturbation theory to matter fields are studied. It is proved that the hairpin axial current couplings in quenched chiral perturbation theories do not contribute to the quenched chiral singularities for one chiral loop renormalization of matter field properties. The modification of mass corrections in the chiral limit due to nonzero mass splittings are studied, and selection rules for hadron decays in quenched QCD are obtained.

The wide range of probes of physics beyond the standard model leads to the need for tools that combine experimental results to make the most robust possible statements about the validity of theories and the preferred regions of their parameter space. Here we introduce a new code for such analyses: GAMBIT, the Global and Modular BSM Inference Tool. GAMBIT is a flexible and extensible framework for global fits of essentially any BSM theory. The code currently incorporates direct and indirect searches for dark matter, limits on production of new particles from the LHC and LEP, complete flavor constraints from LHCb, LHC Higgs production and decay measurements, and various electroweak precision observables. Here we present an overview of the code's capabilities, followed by preliminary results from scans of the scalar singlet dark matter model.

The strict coupling constant expansion for the free energy of hot QCD plasma shows bad convergence at all reasonable temperatures, and does not agree well with its 4d lattice determination. This has recently lead to various refined resummations, whereby the agreement with the lattice result should improve, at the cost of a loss of a formal agreement with the coupling constant expansion and particularly with its large infrared sensitive ``long-distance'' contributions. We show here how to resum the dominant long-distance effects by using a 3d effective field theory, and determine their magnitude by simple lattice Monte Carlo simulations.

Above TeV energies, we assume the minimal supersymmetric extension of the Standard Model, and include the tan(beta)-enhanced one-loop supersymmetric threshold corrections which arise when matching the SM to its SUSY extension.

We explore the possibilities of categorizing $SU(3)_f$ representations of scalar mesons through $J/\psi\to SV$ and $\gamma S$, with $S$ ($V$) being the scalar(vector) mesons. We find that $f_0(500)$ and $f_0(980)$ are singlet and octet states, respectively; which both belong to a nonet of the $SU(3)_f$ flavor symmetry. In addition, we determine the singlet-octet mixing angle of $\theta = (84.2\pm13.9)^{\circ}$ between $f_0(500)$ and $f_0(980)$, which supports the quark-antiquark ($q\bar{q}$) hypothesis. For the scalar mesons in the range of 1-2 GeV, containing two of $f_0(1370,\ 1500,\ 1700)$, we discuss the mixings between $q\bar{q}$ and glueballs. Our numerical results suggest that $f_0(1370 (1500))$ has the a significant component of $n\bar{n}$ ($s\bar{s}$), while $f_0(1710)$ is likely composed of the scalar glueball.

We study 5 dimensional grand-unified theories in an orbifold geometry by the method of effective field theory: we match the low and high energy theories by integrating out at 1-loop the massive Kaluza-Klein states. In the supersymmetric case the radius dependence of threshold effects is fixed by the rescaling anomalies of the low energy theory. We focus on a recently proposed SU(5) model on $M^4 \times S^1/(Z_2\times Z_2^\prime)$. Even though the spectrum of the heavy modes is completely known, there still are corrections to gauge unification originating from boundary couplings. In order to control these effects one has to rely on extra assumptions. We argue that, as far as gauge couplings are concerned, the predictive power of these models is similar to conventional GUTs.

In this paper, we compute the forward-backward asymmetry and the isospin asymmetry of the $B \to K^* \mu^+ \mu^-$ decay. The $B \to K^*$ transition form factors (TFFs) are key components of the decay. To achieve a more accurate QCD prediction, we adopt a chiral correlator for calculating the QCD light-cone sum rules for those TFFs with the purpose of suppressing the uncertain high-twist distribution amplitudes. Our predictions show that the asymmetries under the Standard Model and the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model with minimal flavor violation are close in shape for $q^2 \ge 6~{\rm GeV}^2$ and are consistent with the Belle, LHCb and CDF data within errors. When $q^2 < 2~{\rm GeV}^2$, their predictions behave quite differently. Thus a careful study on the $B \to K^* \mu^+ \mu^-$ decay within small $q^2$-region could be helpful for searching new physics beyond the Standard Model. As a further application, we also apply the $B \to K^*$ TFFs to the branching ratio and longitudinal polarization fraction of the $B\to K^*\nu\bar\nu$ decay within different models.

We extend the Dirac Scotogenic model with the aim of realizing neutrino masses together with the mass of a keV-scale dark matter (DM) candidate via the same one-loop topology. Two of the Standard Model (SM) neutrinos become massive Dirac fermions while the third one remains massless. Our particle content is motivated by an anomaly free $\text{U}(1)_\text{B-L}$ gauge symmetry with exotic irrational charges and we need to enforce an additional $\mathcal{Z}_5$ symmetry. The dark matter candidate does not mix with the active neutrinos and does not have any decay modes to SM particles. DM is produced together with dark radiation in the form of right handed neutrinos via out of equilibrium annihilations of the SM fermions mediated by the heavy B-L gauge boson. In order to avoid DM over-production from Higgs decays and to comply with Lyman-$\alpha$ bounds we work in a low temperature reheating scenario with $4\;\text{MeV}\lesssim T_\text{RH}\lesssim 5\;\text{GeV}$. Our setup predicts a contribution to $\Delta N_\text{eff.}$ that decreases for larger DM masses and is below the sensitivity of upcoming precision measurements such as CMB-S4. A future observation of a signal with $\Delta N_\text{eff.}\gtrsim 0.012$ would exclude our scenario. We further sketch how inflation, reheating and Affleck-Dine baryogenesis can also be potentially realized in this unified framework.

The new vector resonance $X_1(2900)$ observed recently by LHCb in the $ D^{-}K^{+}$ invariant mass distribution in the decay $B^{+} \to D^{+}D^{-}K^{+}$ is studied to uncover internal structure of this state, and calculate its physical parameters. In the present paper, the resonance $ X_1(2900)$ is modeled as an exotic vector state, $ J^P=1^- $, built of the light diquark $u^{T}C\gamma_5d$ and heavy antidiquark $\overline{c} \gamma_{\mu}\gamma_5C\overline{s}^{T}$. The mass and current coupling of $ X_1(2900)$ are computed using the QCD two-point sum rule approach by taking into account various vacuum condensates up to dimension $10$. The width of the resonance $X_1(2900)$ is saturated by two decay channels $X_1 \to D^{-}K^{+}$ and $X_1 \to \overline{D}^{0}K^{0}$. The strong couplings $g_1$ and $g_2$ corresponding to the vertices $X_1D^{-}K^{+}$ and $X_1\overline{D} ^{0}K^{0}$ are evaluated in the context of the QCD light-cone sum rule method and technical tools of the soft-meson approximation. Results for the mass of the resonance $X_1(2900)$ $m=(2890~\pm 122)~\mathrm{MeV}$, and for its full width $\Gamma _{\mathrm{full}}=(93\pm 13)~\mathrm{MeV}$ are smaller than their experimental values reported by the LHCb collaboration. Nevertheless, by taking into account theoretical and experimental errors of investigations, interpretation of the state $X_1(2900)$ as the vector tetraquark does not contradict to the LHCb data. We also point out that analysis of the invariant mass distribution $D^{+}K^{+}$ in the same decay $ B^{+} \to D^{+}D^{-}K^{+}$ may reveal doubly charged four-quark structures $ [uc][\overline{s}\overline{d}]$.

A complete set of dimension-six operators involving a massless U(1) field, gamma-prime, and standard model fields is presented. The mu to e gamma-prime decay, primordial nucleosynthesis, star cooling and other phenomena set lower limits on the scale of chirality-flip operators in the 1 - 15 TeV range, if the operators have coefficients given by the corresponding Yukawa couplings. Simple renormalizable models induce gamma-prime interactions with leptons or quarks at two loops, and may provide a cold dark matter candidate.

The precise knowledge of the atmospheric neutrino fluxes is a key ingredient in the interpretation of the results from any atmospheric neutrino experiment. In the standard atmospheric neutrino data analysis, these fluxes are theoretical inputs obtained from sophisticated numerical calculations. In this contribution we present an alternative approach to the determination of the atmospheric neutrino fluxes based on the direct extraction from the experimental data on neutrino event rates. The extraction is achieved by means of a combination of artificial neural networks as interpolants and Monte Carlo methods.

I discuss the absorption and dispersion of pions in hot matter. A two-loop calculation in the framework of chiral perturbation theory is presented and its result is compactly written in terms of the two- and three-particle forward $\pi \pi$ scattering amplitudes. At modest temperatures, $T \le 100$ MeV, the change in the pion mass is small and its dispersion law closely resembles the free space one. At these temperatures, all quantities of interest are given to a good degree of accuracy by the first term in the virial expansion which is linear in the density.

In this paper we proposed a solution to the longstanding problem of the CGC/saturation approach: the power-like fall of the scattering amplitudes at large $b$. This decrease leads to the violation of the Froissart theorem and makes the approach theoretically inconsistent. We showed in the paper that sum of the pion loops results in the exponential fall of the scattering amplitude at large impact parameters and in the restoration of the Froissart theorem.

The global data on solar neutrino rates and spectrum, including the SNO charged current rate, can be explained by LMA, LOW or the energy independent solution -- corresponding to near-maximal mixing. All the three favour a mild upward renormalisation of the Cl rate. A mild downward shift of the $B$ neutrino flux is favoured by the energy independent and to a lesser extent the LOW solution, but not by LMA. Comparison with the ratio of SK elastic and SNO charged current scattering rates favours the LMA over the other two solutions, but by no more than $1.5\sigma$.

A unified approach to total cross-sections, based on the QCD contribution to the rise with energy, is presented for the processes $pp$, $p{\bar p}$, $\gamma p, \gamma \gamma, e^+e^- \to hadrons$. For proton processes, a discussion of the role played by soft gluon summation in taming the fast rise due to mini-jets is presented. For photon-photon processes, a comparison with other models indicates the need for precision measurements in both the low and high energy region, likely only with measurements at future Linear Colliders.

Supersymmetric mass spectra within two variants of the seesaw mechanism, commonly known as type-II and type-III seesaw, are calculated using full 2-loop RGEs and minimal Supergravity boundary conditions. The type-II seesaw is realized using one pair of 15 and $\bar{15}$ superfields, while the type-III is realized using three copies of $24_M$ superfields. Using published, estimated errors on SUSY mass observables attainable at the LHC and in a combined LHC+ILC analysis, we calculate expected errors for the parameters of the models, most notably the seesaw scale. If SUSY particles are within the reach of the ILC, pure mSugra can be distinguished from mSugra plus type-II or type-III seesaw for nearly all relevant values of the seesaw scale. Even in the case when only the much less accurate LHC measurements are used, we find that indications for the seesaw can be found in favourable parts of the parameter space. Since our conclusions crucially depend on the reliability of the theoretically forecasted error bars, we discuss in some detail the accuracies which need to be achieved for the most important LHC and ILC observables before an analysis, such as the one presented here, can find any hints for type-II or type-III seesaw in SUSY spectra.

We compute the "+" component of the electromagnetic current of a composite spin-one two-fermion system for vanishing momentum transfer component $q^+=q^0+q^3$. In particular, we extract the nonvanishing pair production amplitude on the light-front. It is a consequence of the longitudinal zero momentum mode, contributing to the light-front current in the Breit-frame. The covariance of the current is violated, if such pair terms are not included in its matrix elements. We illustrate our discussion with some numerical examples.

We studied the decays of Heavy baryon into a pseudoscalar meson and a dark baryon in the recently developed $B$-Mesogenesis scenario, where the two types of effective Lagrangians proposed by the scenario are both considered. The decay amplitudes of $\Lambda_b^0$ are calculated by light-cone sum rules using its light-cone distribution amplitudes. The decay amplitudes of $\Xi_b^{0,\pm}$ are related with those of $\Lambda_b^0$ through a flavor SU(3) analysis. The uncertainties of threshold parameter and the Borel parameter are both considered in the numerical calculation. The values of effective coupling constants in the $B$-Mesogenesis are taken as their upper limits that obtained from our previous study on the inclusive decay. The upper limits of the decay branching fractions are presented as functions of the dark baryon mass.

We present a detailed study of the dynamics associated with the ghost sector of quenched QCD in the Landau gauge, where the relevant dynamical equations are supplemented with key inputs originating from large-volume lattice simulations. In particular, we solve the coupled system of Schwinger-Dyson equations that governs the evolution of the ghost dressing function and the ghost-gluon vertex, using as input for the gluon propagator lattice data that have been cured from volume and discretization artifacts. In addition, we explore the soft gluon limit of the same system, employing recent lattice data for the three-gluon vertex that enters in one of the diagrams defining the Schwinger-Dyson equation of the ghost-gluon vertex. The results obtained from the numerical treatment of these equations are in excellent agreement with lattice data for the ghost dressing function, once the latter have undergone the appropriate scale-setting and artifact elimination refinements. Moreover, the coincidence observed between the ghost-gluon vertex in general kinematics and in the soft gluon limit reveals an outstanding consistency of physical concepts and computational schemes.

Perturbative O(alpha_s^2) corrections to BR(B -> Xs gamma) in the BLM approximation receive contributions from two-, three- and four-body final states. While all the two-body results are well established by now, the other ones have remained incomplete for several years. Here, we calculate the last contribution that has been missing to date, namely the one originating from interference of the current-current and gluonic dipole operators (K_18^{(2)beta_0} and K_{28}^{(2)beta_0}). Moreover, we confirm all the previously known results for BLM corrections to the photon energy spectrum that involve the current-current operators (e.g., K_{22}^{(2)beta_0} and K_{27}^{(2)beta_0}). Finally, we also confirm the recent findings of Ferroglia and Haisch on self-interference of the gluonic dipole operator (K_{88}^{(2)beta_0}).

We show that a gauge singlet scalar S, with a coupling to the Higgs doublet of the form lambda_{S} S^{\dagger}S H^{\dagger}H and with the S mass entirely generated by the Higgs expectation value, has a thermally generated relic density Omega_{S} \approx 0.3 if m_{S} \approx (2.9-10.5)(Omega_{S}/0.3)^{1/5}(h/0.7)^{2/5} MeV for Higgs boson masses in the range 115 GeV to 1 TeV. Remarkably, this is very similar to the range (m_{S} = (6.6-15.4)\eta^{2/3} MeV) required in order for the self-interaction (\eta/4)(S^{\dagger}S)^{2} to account for self-interacting dark matter when \eta is not much smaller than 1. The corresponding coupling is lambda_{S} \approx (2.7 \times 10^{-10} - 3.6 \times 10^{-9})(Omega_{S}/0.3)^{2/5}(h/0.7)^{4/5}, implying that such scalars are very weakly coupled to the Standard Model sector.

The reheating phase after inflation is one of the least observationally constrained epochs in the evolution of the Universe. The forthcoming gravitational wave observatories will enable us to constrain at least some of the non-standard scenarios. For example, models where the radiation bath is produced by the perturbative inflaton decay that oscillates around the minimum of the potential of the form $V\propto\phi^{2n}$, with $n>2$. In such scenarios a part of the inflationary gravitational wave spectrum becomes blue tilted, making it observable, depending on the inflation energy scale and the reheating temperature. The degeneracy between the latter two parameters can be broken if dark matter in the Universe is produced via the freeze-in mechanism. The combination of the independent measurement of dark matter mass with gravitational wave observations makes it possible to constrain the reheating temperature and the energy scale at the end of inflation, at least within some parameter ranges.

The electromagnetic box diagram for the leptonic decays of pseudoscalar mesons in the quark model is evaluated to all orders in ${\bf p} / m_q$, where ${\bf p}$ is the relative three-momentum of the quark-antiquark pair and $m_q$ is the quark mass. We compute $B_P \equiv \Gamma(\eta \to l^+ l^-) / \Gamma(\eta \to \gamma\gamma)$ using a popular nonrelativistic (NR) harmonic oscillator wave function, and with a relativistic momentum space wave function that we derive from the MIT bag model. We also compare with a calculation in the limit of extreme NR binding due to Bergstr\"om. Numerical calculations of $B_P$ using these three parameterizations of the wave function agree to within a few percent over a wide kinematical range. We find that the quark model leads in a natural way to a negligible value for the ratio of dispersive to absorptive parts of the electromagnetic amplitude for $\eta \to \mu^+ \mu^-$ (unitary bound). However we find substantial deviations from the unitary bound in other kinematical regions, such as $\eta,\pi^0 \to e^+ e^-$. These quark models yield $B(\eta \to \mu^+\mu^-) \approx 4.3 \times 10^{-6}$, within errors of the recent SATURNE measurement of $5.1 \pm 0.8 \times 10^{-6}$, $B(\eta \to e^+ e^-) \approx 6.3 \times 10^{-9}$, and $B(\pi^0 \to e^+ e^-) \approx 1.0 \times 10^{-7}$.

We also compare with a calculation in the limit of extreme NR binding due to Bergstr\"om. Numerical calculations of $B_P$ using these three parameterizations of the wave function agree to within a few percent over a wide kinematical range. We find that the quark model leads in a natural way to a negligible value for the ratio of dispersive to absorptive parts of the electromagnetic amplitude for $\eta \to \mu^+ \mu^-$ (unitary bound). However we find substantial deviations from the unitary bound in other kinematical regions, such as $\eta,\pi^0 \to e^+ e^-$. These quark models yield $B(\eta \to \mu^+\mu^-) \approx 4.3 \times 10^{-6}$, within errors of the recent SATURNE measurement of $5.1 \pm 0.8 \times 10^{-6}$, $B(\eta \to e^+ e^-) \approx 6.3 \times 10^{-9}$, and $B(\pi^0 \to e^+ e^-) \approx 1.0 \times 10^{-7}$.

We elaborate on an extension of the Standard Model with a gauge structure enlarged by a single anomalous U(1), where the presence of a Wess-Zumino term is motivated by the Green-Schwarz mechanism of string theory. The additional gauge interaction is anomalous and requires an axion for anomaly cancelation. The pseudoscalar implements the St\"{u}ckelberg mechanism and undergoes mixing with the standard Higgs sector to render the additional U(1) massive. We consider a 2-Higgs doublet model. We show that the anomalous effective vertices involving neutral currents are potentially observable. We clarify their role in the case of simple processes such as $Z^*\to \gamma \gamma$, which are at variance with respect to the Standard Model. A brief discussion of the implications of these studies for the LHC is included.

The recent analysis of the electroweak data at CDF indicates that the constraint on the top quark mass is $m_t=174\pm 17 $GeV. We accommodate this result in a new scheme of quark mass matrices in which two elements along the the leading diagonal are non-vanishing and the other non-vanishing elements are those due to nearest neighbour interactions. By comparing the quark mixing matrix elements of our scheme with the experimentally determined Kobayashi- Maskawa matrix elememts in the standard electroweak model, we find that the CP violating phases ($\delta_1$ and $\delta_2$) in our model violate the CP symmetry maximally.

Electroweak baryogenesis has become a topic of much recent activity [1]. Here we discuss a new scenario which has the advantage of being insensitive to the order of the electroweak phase transition. We briefly review a mechanism [2] using unstable electroweak strings [3] and discuss in detail a mechanism [4] using topological defects (in particular cosmic strings) left behind after a previous phase transition.

For a long time, it is believed that the light by light scattering is described properly by the Lagrangian density obtained by Heisenberg and Euler. Here, we present a new calculation which is based on the modern field theory technique. It is found that the light-light scattering is completely different from the old expression. The reason is basically due to the unphysical condition (gauge condition) which was employed by the QED calcualtion of Karplus and Neumann. The correct cross section of light-light scattering at low energy of $(\frac{\omega}{m} \ll 1)$ can be written as $ \displaystyle{\frac{d\sigma}{d\Omega}=\frac{1}{(6\pi)^2}\frac{\alpha^4} {(2\omega)^2}(3+2\cos^2\theta +\cos^4\theta)}$.

We consider a transport equation of the Boltzmann-Langevin type for non-Abelian plasmas close to equilibrium to derive the spectral functions of the underlying microscopic fluctuations from the entropy. The correlator of the stochastic source is obtained from the dissipative processes in the plasma. This approach, based on classical transport theory, exploits the well-known link between a linearized collision integral, the entropy and the spectral functions. Applied to the ultra-soft modes of a hot non-Abelian (classical or quantum) plasma, the resulting spectral functions agree with earlier findings obtained from the microscopic theory. As a by-product, it follows that B\"odeker's effective theory is consistent with the fluctuation-dissipation theorem.

We discuss three possible scenarios for the interpretation of mesons containing a heavy quark and its antiquark near and above the first threshold for a decay into a pair of heavy mesons in a relative $S$--wave. View I assumes that these thresholds force the quark potential to flatten which implies that while in these energy ranges molecular states may be formed there should not be any quark--anti-quark states above these thresholds. View II assumes that the main part of the interaction between two mesons is due to the poles which originate from the $Q\bar Q$ interaction. The properties of the $Q\bar Q$ mesons are strongly influenced by opening thresholds but the number of states is given by the quark model. In View III, both types of mesons are admitted also near and above the open flavor thresholds: $Q\bar Q$ mesons and dynamically generated mesons. Experimental consequences of these different views are discussed.

We perform the comprehensive analysis of the polarization effects on the e^+e^- -> W^+W^- process in the presence of the extra neutral gauge boson at the LC energies. Consideration of the polarizations of the produced W bosons and the beam polarizations provides substantial enhancements of the sensitivity to the Z-Z' mixing angles in various models and the asymmetry variables also give the strict constraints on the mixing angles. We find that the \chi-model and the left-right model get the strict constraint from \sigma_{LL}^{unpol} while the \psi-model and the \eta-model from the beam polarization asymmetry.

The full gluon propagator relevant for the description of the truly non-perturbative QCD dynamics, the so-called intrinsically non-perturbative gluon propagator has been derived in our previous work. It explicitly depends on the regularized mass gap, which dominates its structure at small gluon momentum. It is automatically transversal in a gauge invariant way. It is characterized by the presence of severe infrared singularities at small gluon momentum, so the gluons remain massless, and this does not depend on the gauge choice. In this paper we have shown how precisely the renormalization program for the regularized mass gap should be performed. We have also shown how precisely severe infrared singularities should be correctly treated. This allowed to analytically formulate the exact and gauge-invariant criteria of gluon and quark confinement. After the renormalization program is completed, one can derive the gluon propagator applicable for the calculation of physical observables processes, etc., in low-energy QCD from first principles.

Cosmology provides interesting information on neutrino mixing models with sterile neutrinos. In this case non standard BBN effects can be relevant. We show how the recent measurement of the baryon content from the observations of CMB anisotropies together with the primordial nuclear abundances measurements can be used to constrain them. In particular four neutrino mixing models are potentially at variance with the cosmological observations. We also discuss the possible scenarios from future experiments.

We find the picture to be consistent with the known data about the three f_0 resonances, more than the q-qbar hypothesis. Conventional spin-orbit coupling suggests the q-qbar, P-wave, nonet to lie around 1200 MeV.

In models with extended Higgs sectors, it is possible that the Higgs boson discovered at the LHC is not the lightest one. We show that in a realistic model (the Type I 2-Higgs Doublet Model), when the sum of the masses of a light scalar and a pseudoscalar ($h$ and $A$) is smaller than the $Z$ boson mass, the Electroweak (EW) production of an $hA$ pair can dominate over QCD production by orders of magnitude, a fact not previously highlighted. This is because in the $gg$-initiated process, $hA$ production via a resonant $Z$ in the $s$-channel is prohibited according to the Landau-Yang theorem, which is not the case for the $q\bar{q}$-initiated process. We explore the parameter space of the model to highlight regions giving such $hA$ solutions while being consistent with all constraints from collider searches, $b$-physics and EW precision data. We also single out a few benchmark points to discuss their salient features, including the $hA$ search channels that can be exploited at Run II of the LHC.

We explore the one-loop electroweak radiative corrections in $SU(5)\times U(1)$ supergravity via explicit calculation of vacuum-polarization and vertex-correction contributions to the $\epsilon_1$ and $\epsilon_b$ parameters. Experimentally, these parameters are obtained from a global fit to the set of observables $\Gamma_{l}, \Gamma_{b}, A^{l}_{FB}$, and $M_W/M_Z$. We include $q^2$-dependent effects, which induce a large systematic negative shift on $\epsilon_{1}$ for light chargino masses ($m_{\chi^\pm_1}\lsim70\GeV$). The (non-oblique) supersymmetric vertex corrections to $\Zbb$, which define the $\epsilon_b$ parameter, show a significant positive shift for light chargino masses, which for $\tan\beta\approx2$ can be nearly compensated by a negative shift from the charged Higgs contribution. We conclude that at the 90\%CL, for $m_t\lsim160\GeV$ the present experimental values of $\epsilon_1$ and $\epsilon_b$ do not constrain in any way $SU(5)\times U(1)$ supergravity in both no-scale and dilaton scenarios. On the other hand, for $m_t\gsim160\GeV$ the constraints on the parameter space become increasingly stricter. We demonstrate this trend with a study of the $m_t=170\GeV$ case, where only a small region of parameter space, with $\tan\beta\gsim4$, remains allowed and corresponds to light chargino masses ($m_{\chi^\pm_1}\lsim70\GeV$). Thus $SU(5)\times U(1)$ supergravity combined with high-precision LEP data would suggest the presence of light charginos if the top quark is not detected at the Tevatron.

We explore the one-loop electroweak radiative corrections in $SU(5)\times U(1)$ supergravity via explicit calculation of vacuum-polarization and vertex-correction contributions to the $\epsilon_1$ and $\epsilon_b$ parameters. Experimentally, these parameters are obtained from a global fit to the set of observables $\Gamma_{l}, \Gamma_{b}, A^{l}_{FB}$, and $M_W/M_Z$. We include $q^2$-dependent effects, which induce a large systematic negative shift on $\epsilon_{1}$ for light chargino masses ($m_{\chi^\pm_1}\lsim70\GeV$). The (non-oblique) supersymmetric vertex corrections to $\Zbb$, which define the $\epsilon_b$ parameter, show a significant positive shift for light chargino masses, which for $\tan\beta\approx2$ can be nearly compensated by a negative shift from the charged Higgs contribution.

Dark matter (DM) in the Milky Way halo may annihilate or decay to photons, producing monochromatic gamma rays. We search for DM-induced spectral lines using 14 years of data from the Large Area Telescope onboard the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope ($\textit{Fermi}$-LAT) between $10\,\mathrm{GeV}$ and $2\,\mathrm{TeV}$ in the inner Milky Way leveraging both the spatial and spectral morphology of an expected signal. We present new constraints as strong as $\langle \sigma v \rangle \lesssim 6\times 10^{-30}\, \mathrm{cm}^3/\mathrm{s}$ for the two-to-two annihilations and $\tau \gtrsim 10^{30}\,\mathrm{s}$ for one-to-two decays, representing leading sensitivity between $10\,\mathrm{GeV}$ and $\sim$$500\,\mathrm{GeV}$. We consider the implications of our line-constraints on the Galactic Center Excess (GCE), which is a previously-observed excess of continuum $\sim$GeV gamma-rays that may be explained by DM annihilation. The Higgs portal and neutralino-like DM scenarios, which have been extensively discussed as possible origins of the GCE, are constrained by our work because of the lack of observed one-loop decays to two photons. More generally, we interpret our null results in a variety of annihilating and decaying DM models, such as neutralinos, gravitinos, and glueballs, showing that in many cases the line search is more powerful than the continuum, despite the continuum annihilation being at tree level.

I discuss 3 related quantities: the cusp anomalous dimension, the HQET heavy-quark field anomalous dimension, and the quark-antiquark potential. Leading large $n_f$ terms can be calculated to all orders in $\alpha_s$. Next to leading terms with the abelian color structure $C_F^2$ also can be found to all orders (but not non-abelian $C_F C_A$ terms). This talk is based on Appendices C and D in [arXiv:1510.07803].

Based on a recent proposal to build an electron-muon collider, we study two-to-two production processes e^- mu^+ --> f bar-f, gamma gamma that originate from dimension 6 and 8 operators. We compare the sensitivity to those effective couplings obtained at the collider with that of low energy measurements of mu --> e gamma, mu --> e bar-e e and mu --> e conversion that have recently been reported in the literature. Whereas for the production of first family fermions the sensitivity of the collider processes is much weaker, for the second and third family fermions it is similar or stronger than that of low-energy processes. In the case of e^- mu^+ --> gamma gamma, the sensitivity to a dimension 8 contact operator turns out to be the strongest in comparison.
