Nonlinear Bethe-Heitler process in a bichromatic laser field is investigated
using strong-field QED formalism. Symmetry properties of angular distributions
of created $e^-e^+$ pairs are analyzed. These properties are showed to be
governed by a behavior of the vector potential characterizing the laser field,
rather than by the respective electric field component.

We show that the enhancement of the saturation scale in large nuclei relative
to the proton is significantly influenced by the effects of quantum evolution
and the impact parameter dependence of dipole cross sections in high energy
QCD. We demonstrate that there is a strong A dependence in diffractive deeply
inelastic scattering and discuss its sensitivity to the measurement of the
recoil nucleus.

Using the trace anomaly and low energy relations, as well as Witten-Veneziano
formula for the mass of the $\eta'$ meson, the chiral topology of the QCD
nonperturbative instanton vacuum has been numerically evaluated. Our formalism
makes it possible to express the topological susceptibility and the mass of the
$\eta'$ meson as a functions of the instanton number density in the chiral
limit. We have explicitly shown that the topological susceptibility in this
case is approximately one fours and one half of its phenomenological value at
instanton number densities in the chiral limit, 0.5 fm^{-4} and 1.0 fm^{-4},
respectively. Thus the instanton contributions substantially underestimate the
mass of the $\eta'$ meson which still remains large in the chiral limit. With
the help of the above-mentioned Witten-Veneziano formula, we derived an
absolute lower bounds for the pion decay constant and the mass of the $\eta'$
meson in the chiral limit.

We investigate the effects of R-parity-violating $LL\bar E$ and $LQ\bar D$
operators on the production of fermion pairs at a $\mu^+ \mu^-$ collider with
high energy and luminosity. We show that comparison of angular distributions
leads to useful discovery limits for the R-parity-violating couplings,
especially if the exchanged sfermions turn out to be heavy. Products of these
couplings can also be probed well beyond present experimental limits,
especially for the second and third generations. Finally, we compare results at
a muon collider with those obtainable from an $e^+ e^-$ linear collider with
similar energy and luminosity.

We present the complete electroweak one-loop corrections to top-pair
production at a linear e^+e^- collider in the continuum region. Besides weak
and photonic virtual corrections, real hard bremsstrahlung with simple
realistic kinematical cuts is included. For the bremsstrahlung we advocate a
semi-analytical approach with a high numerical accuracy. The virtual
corrections are parametrized through six independent form factors, suitable for
Monte-Carlo implementation. Alternatively, our numerical package topfit, a
stand-alone code, can be utilized for the calculation of both differential and
integrated cross sections as well as forward--backward asymmetries.

A unified form of mass matrix proposed previously for all fundamental
fermions is extended to include the sterile neutrino $\nu_s$, presumed to mix
mainly with $\nu_e$, while $\nu_\tau$ mixes strongly with $\nu_\mu$ (and both
$\nu_\mu$ and $\nu_\tau$ weakly with $\nu_e$ and $\nu_s$). It turns out that
the former mixing can be responsible for oscillations of solar neutrinos, while
the latter for those of atmospheric neutrinos. It is mentioned in a footnote
that $\nu_s$ is one of two sterile neutrinos, possible from a viewpoint of an
algebraic construction. The charged-lepton factor $U^{(e)}$ in the leptonic
four-dimensional CKM matrix $V=U^{(\nu) \dagger}U^{(e)}$ is determined through
the small deviation of our previous prediction $m_\tau=1776.80$ MeV (valid at
the level of $ U^{(e)} = {\bf 1}$) from the experimental value
$m_\tau=1777.00^{+0.30}_{-0.27}$ MeV. Then, it gives corrections to the
four-dimensional mixing of $\nu_e$, $\nu_\mu$, $\nu_\tau$, $\nu_s$ leading, in
particular, to small $\nu_e\to\nu_\mu$, $\nu_e\to \nu_\tau$ and
$\nu_\mu\to\nu_s$ oscillations (absent at the level of $U^{(e)}= 1$). However,
the LSND estimates of $\bar{\nu}_\mu \to \bar{\nu}_e$ and $\nu_\mu\to\nu_e$
oscillations are too large to be explained by these corrections, though in the
case of $\nu_\mu \to\nu_e$ they seem to be at the edge of such possible
explanation.

Cosmic superstrings are produced at the end of brane inflation. Their
properties are similar to cosmic strings arising in grand unified theories.
Like cosmic strings they can give rise to a primordial magnetic field, as a
result of vortical motions stirred in the ionised plasma by the gravitational
pull of moving string segments. The resulting magnetic field is both strong
enough and coherent enough to seed the galactic dynamo and explain the observed
magnetic fields of the galaxies.

We present the complete first order relativistic quantum kinetic theory with
spin for massive fermions derived from the Wigner function formalism in a
concise form that shows explicitly how the 32 Wigner equations reduce to 4
independent transport equations. We solve modified on-shell conditions to
obtain the general solution and present the corresponding transport equations
in three different forms that are suitable for different purposes. We
demonstrate how different spin effects arise from the kinetic theory by
calculating the chiral separation effect with mass correction, the chiral
anomaly from the axial current and the quantum magnetic moment density induced
by vorticity and magnetic field. We also show how to generate the global
polarization effect due to spin vorticity coupling. The formalism presented may
serve as a practical theoretical framework to study different spin effects in
relativistic fermion systems encountered in different areas such as heavy ion,
astro-particle and condensed matter physics as well.

After the discovery of the Higgs boson, several future experiments have been
proposed to study the Higgs boson properties, including two circular lepton
colliders, the CEPC and the FCC-ee, and one linear lepton collider, the ILC. We
evaluate the precision reach of these colliders in measuring the branching
ratios of the charged lepton flavor violating Higgs decays $H\to e^\pm\mu^\mp$,
$e^\pm\tau^\mp$ and $\mu^\pm\tau^\mp$. The expected upper bounds on the
branching ratios given by the circular (linear) colliders are found to be
$\mathcal{B}(H\to e^\pm\mu^\mp) < 1.2\ (2.1) \times 10^{-5}$, $\mathcal{B}(H\to
e^\pm\tau^\mp) < 1.6\ (2.4) \times 10^{-4}$ and $\mathcal{B}(H\to
\mu^\pm\tau^\mp) < 1.4\ (2.3) \times 10^{-4}$ at 95\% CL, which are improved by
one to two orders compared to the current experimental bounds. We also discuss
the constraints that these upper bounds set on certain theory parameters,
including the charged lepton flavor violating Higgs couplings, the
corresponding parameters in the type-III 2HDM, and the new physics cut-off
scales in the SMEFT, in RS models and in models with heavy neutrinos.

We present the virtual corrections due to the top-quark loops for the process
$gg \to ZZ$ at next-to-leading order in QCD. The associated two-loop box
diagrams are computed using a small-transverse-momentum expansion. Our results
are then merged with those available in the complementary energy region,
obtained via a high-energy expansion, in order to provide an analytic result
that is valid in the whole phase space. The results presented allow for an
efficient modelling of the signal--background interference as well as the
irreducible background in off-shell Higgs production.

We present the virtual corrections due to the top-quark loops for the process $gg \to ZZ$ at next-to-leading order in QCD. The associated two-loop box diagrams are computed using a small-transverse-momentum expansion. Our results are then merged with those available in the complementary energy region, obtained via a high-energy expansion, in order to provide an analytic result that is valid in the whole phase space. The results presented allow for an efficient modelling of the signal--background interference as well as the irreducible background in off-shell Higgs production.

We investigate the prospects for the discovery of a neutral Higgs boson
produced in association with a $b$ quark, followed by the Higgs decay into a
pair of bottom quarks, $pp \to b\phi^0 \to b b\bar{b} +X$, at the CERN Large
Hadron Collider (LHC) within the framework of unified supersymmetric models.
The Higgs boson $\phi^0$ can be a heavy scalar $H^0$ or a pseudoscalar $A^0$.
Furthermore, this direct discovery channel is compared with the indirect Higgs
searches in the rare decay $B_s \to \mu^+\mu^-$ at hadron colliders. Promising
results are found for the minimal supergravity (mSUGRA) model, the anomaly
mediated supersymmetry breaking (AMSB) model, and the gauge mediated
supersymmetry breaking (GMSB) model. We find that the indirect search for
$B(B_s \to \mu^+\mu^-) \ge 5\times 10^{-9}$ is complementary to the direct
search for $b\phi^0 \to bb\bar{b}$ with $\sqrt{s} = 14$ TeV and an integrated
luminosity ($L$) of 300 fb$^{-1}$. In the AMSB and GMSB models, $b\phi^0 \to
bb\bar{b}$ with $L = 300$ fb$^{-1}$ covers a larger area in the parameter space
than $B(B_s \to \mu^+\mu^-) \ge 5\times 10^{-9}$. In addition, we present
constraints from $b \to s\gamma$ and muon anomalous dipole moment ($\Delta
a_\mu$) on the parameter space.

Truly Minimal Left-Right Symmetry Model for Electroweak Interaction

By using two primary doublets and one induced bidoublet Higgs fields as a
result of the interactions of the two doublets, we evaluate the predictive
power of the left-right symmetry model based on $SU(2)_{L}\otimes
SU(2)_{R}\otimes U(1)$ gauge group to the gauge bosons masses, leptons masses,
and the structure of electroweak interactions. We found that the contribution
of the right charge-current to the electroweak interaction is only around
0.0073 percent. The neutrino mass emerges naturally without introducing exotic
particles. We obtain that the mixing angle $\theta = 45^{0}$ for boson sector,
$\theta \approx 45^{0}$ for neutrino sector, and $\theta = 0^{0}$ for electron
sector. The parity violation in our model could be associated with the mass
mixing in the bosons and leptons masses arise from the induced bidoublet Higgs
via symmetry breaking.

Disentangling Jet Modification

Jet modification in heavy-ion collisions is an important probe of the nature
and structure of the quark-gluon plasma (QGP) produced in these collisions and
also encodes information about how the wakes that jets excite in a droplet of
QGP form and relax. However, in experiment, one cannot know what a particular
jet in a heavy ion collision would have looked like without quenching, making
it difficult to interpret measurements in terms of individual jet modification.
The goal of this Monte Carlo study is to gain insight into the modification of
jet observables using the hybrid strong/weak coupling model of jet quenching as
a test bed. In this Monte Carlo study (but not in experiment) it is possible to
watch $\textit{the same jet}$ as it evolves in vacuum or in QGP. We use this
ability to disentangle the effects of modification of individual jets in heavy
ion collisions vs. the effects of differing selection bias on the distribution
of two observables: fractional energy loss and groomed $\Delta R$. We find that
in the hybrid model the distribution of groomed $\Delta R$ appears to be
unmodified in a sample of jets selected after quenching, as in heavy ion
collisions, and confirm that this lack of modification arises because of a
selection bias toward jets that lose only a small fraction of their energy. If
instead we select jets in a way that avoids this bias, and then follow these
selected jets as they are quenched, we show that there is, in fact, a
substantial modification of the $\Delta R$ of individual jets. We show that
this jet modification is principally due to the incorporation of particles
coming from the wake that the parton shower excites in the plasma as a
component of what an experimentalist reconstructs as a jet. The effects we
discuss are substantial in magnitude, suggesting that our qualitative
conclusions are more general than the Monte Carlo study in which we obtain
them.

A difference of several tenths of a percent has been observed between the
direct CP asymmetries of $D^0\to K^+K^-$ and $D^0\to \pi^+\pi^-$. It has been
noted recently that CP asymmetries in such singly-Cabibbo-suppressed (SCS)
decays can affect the determination of the weak phase $\gamma$ using the
Gronau-London-Wyler method of comparing rates for $B^+ \to D K^+$ and $B^- \to
D K^-$, where $D$ is a superposition of $D^0$ and $\od$ decaying to a CP
eigenstate. Using an analysis of the CP asymmetries in SCS decays based on a $c
\to u$ penguin amplitude with standard model weak phase but enhanced by
CP-conserving strong interactions, we estimate typical shifts in $\gamma$ of
several degrees and pinpoint measurements which would reduce uncertainties to
an acceptable level.

We study the so-called HEIDI models, which are renormalizable extensions of
the standard model with a higher-dimensional scalar singlet field. We compare
their predictions with the recent results from the LHC. We show that the data
can easily be described by the HEIDI models. However more data are necessary in
order to distinguish these models from the standard model. A particular
prediction is that the width of the Higgs could be in the GeV range. Such a
width could be difficult to establish at the LHC. Suggestions for experiments
beyond the LHC are made.

The charmonium states with their different binding energies and radii
dissolve at different temperatures of the medium produced in relativistic
heavy-ion collisions. Relative yields of charmonium and thus their survival
have potential to map the properties of Quark Gluon Plasma. In this study, we
estimate the combined effect of color screening, gluon-induced dissociation and
recombination on charmonium production in heavy-ion collisions (Pb+Pb ions) at
centre of mass energy ($\sqrt{s_{\rm NN}}$) = 5.02 TeV. The rate equations of
dissociation and recombination are solved separately with a 2-dimensional
accelerated expansion of fireball volume. To solve the recombination rate
equation, we have used an approach of Bateman solution which ensures the
dissociation of the recombined charmonium in the QGP medium. The modifications
of charmonium states are estimated in an expanding QGP with the conditions
relevant for Pb+Pb collisions at LHC.

Effects of Kaluza-Klein excitations associated with extra dimensions with
large radius compactifications on the Fermi constant are explored. It is shown
that the current precision determinations of the Fermi constant, of the fine
structure constant, and of the W and Z mass put stringent constraints on the
compactification radius. The analysis excludes one extra space time dimension
below $\sim 1.6$ TeV, and excludes 2, 3 and 4 extra space dimensions opening
simultaneously below $\sim$ 3.5 TeV, 5.7 TeV and 7.8 TeV at the $90% CL$.
Implications of these results for future collider experiments are discussed.

We propose a minimal extension of Standard Model, generating a Majorana mass
for neutron, connected with a mechanism of Post-Sphaleron Baryogenesis. We
consider an `exotic vector-like pair' of color-triplet scalars, an extra
Majorana fermion $\psi$, and a scalar field $\phi$, giving mass to $\psi$. The
vector-like pair is defined `exotic' because of a peculiar mass term of the
color-triplet scalars, violating Baryon number as $\Delta B=1$. A
Post-Sphaleron Baryogenesis is realized through $\phi$-decays into six quarks
(antiquarks), or through $\psi$-decays into three quarks (antiquarks). This
model suggests some intriguing B-violating signatures, testable in the next
future, in Neutron-Antineutron physics and LHC. We also discuss limits from
FCNC.
Sterile fermion can also be light as $1-100\, \rm GeV$. In this case, the
sterile fermion could be (meta)-stable and $n-\bar{n}$ oscillation can be
indirectly generated by two $n-\psi$, $\psi-\bar{n}$ oscillations, without
needing of an effective Majorana mass for neutron. Majorana fermion $\psi$ can
be a good candidate for WIMP-like dark matter.

We point out that the Pauli blocking of neutrinos by cosmological relic
neutrinos can be a significant effect. For zero-energy neutrinos, the standard
parameters for the neutrino background temperature and density give a
suppression of approximately 1/2. We show the effect this has on three-body
beta decays. The size of the effect is of the same order as the recently
suggested neutrino capture on beta-decaying nuclei.

We consider the decay B0(t) -> hyperon + antihyperon, followed by hyperon
weak decay. We show that parity violation in the latter allows to reach new CP
observables: not only Im(lambda_f) but also Re(lambda_f) can be measured. In
the decay B0_d(t) -> Lambda LambdaBar (BR ~ 10-6), Lambda -> p pi- these
observables reduce to sin(2alpha) and cos(2alpha) in the small Penguin limit,
the latter solving the discrete ambiguity alpha -> pi/2 -alpha. For beta one
could consider the Cabibbo suppressed mode B0_d(t) -> Lambda_c Lambda_cBar (BR
\~ 10-4), Lambda_c -> Lambda pi+, p K0bar, ... (with BR ~ 10-2). The pure
Penguin modes B0_s(t)->Sigma-Sigma-Bar, Xi-Xi-Bar, Omega-Omega-Bar (BR ~ 10-7)
can be useful in the search of CP violation beyond the Standard Model. Because
of the small total rates, the study of these modes could only be done in future
high statistics experiments. Also, in the most interesting case Lambda
LambdaBar the time dependence of the asymmetry can be difficult to reconstruct.
On the other hand, we show that B_d mesons, being a coherent source of Lambda
LambdaBar, is useful to look for CP violation in Lambda decay. We also discuss
B0_d(t) -> J/Psi K*0 -> l+ l- K_S pi0 where the secondary decays conserve
parity, and angular correlations allow to determine terms of the form
cos(delta)cos(2beta), delta being a strong phase. This phase has been measured
by CLEO, but we point out that a discrete ambiguity prevents to determine
sign(cos(2beta)). However, if one assumes small strong phases, like in
factorization and as supported by CLEO data, one could have information on
sign(cos(2beta)). Similar remarks can be done for cos(2alpha) in the decay
B_d0(t) -> rho rho -> 4pi.

We consider the decay B0(t) -> hyperon + antihyperon, followed by hyperon weak decay. We show that parity violation in the latter allows to reach new CP observables: not only Im(lambda_f) but also Re(lambda_f) can be measured. In the decay B0_d(t) -> Lambda LambdaBar (BR ~ 10-6), Lambda -> p pi- these observables reduce to sin(2alpha) and cos(2alpha) in the small Penguin limit, the latter solving the discrete ambiguity alpha -> pi/2 -alpha. For beta one could consider the Cabibbo suppressed mode B0_d(t) -> Lambda_c Lambda_cBar (BR \~ 10-4), Lambda_c -> Lambda pi+, p K0bar, ... (with BR ~ 10-2). The pure Penguin modes B0_s(t)->Sigma-Sigma-Bar, Xi-Xi-Bar, Omega-Omega-Bar (BR ~ 10-7) can be useful in the search of CP violation beyond the Standard Model. Because of the small total rates, the study of these modes could only be done in future high statistics experiments. Also, in the most interesting case Lambda LambdaBar the time dependence of the asymmetry can be difficult to reconstruct. On the other hand, we show that B_d mesons, being a coherent source of Lambda LambdaBar, is useful to look for CP violation in Lambda decay.

The one-loop effective potential for a charged scalar field in de Sitter
background is studied. We derive an approximate form for the gauge boson
propagator with a general covariant gauge-fixing parameter \xi. This expression
is used to derive an explicitly gauge-invariant effective potential, which
agrees with earlier results obtained in Landau gauge. Adding the scalar- and
fermion-loop contributions, that arise in a supersymmetric Higgs model, we find
that the effective potential is vanishing to first order in the Hubble rate
H^2. The contribution due to a chiral multiplet running in the loop is however
non-vanishing. When applied to a flat direction of the MSSM with VEV w, a
logarithmically running correction of order $h^2 H^2 w^2$ arises, where h is
Yukawa coupling. This is of particular importance for D-term inflation or
models endowed with a Heisenberg symmetry, where Hubble scale mass terms for
flat directions from supergravity corrections are absent.

In the standard model, CP asymmetries in the $B^\pm \to \pi^\pm K$ channels
are about 2% based on perturbative calculation. Rescattering effects might
enhance it to at most (20-25)%. We show that lepton-number-violating $\lambda'$

100%. Upcoming B factories will test this scenario.

We study UV-complete Froggatt-Nielsen-like models for the generation of mass
and mixing hierarchies, assuming that the integrated heavy fields are chiral
with respect to an abelian Froggatt-Nielsen symmetry. It modifies the mixed
anomalies with respect to the Standard Model gauge group, which opens up the
possibility to gauge the Froggatt-Nielsen symmetry without the need to
introduce additional spectator fermions, while keeping mass matrices usually
associated to anomalous flavour symmetries. We give specific examples where
this happens, and we study the flavourful axion which arises from an accidental
Peccei-Quinn symmetry in some of those models. Such an axion is typically more
coupled to matter than in models with spectator fermions.

We give a general formulation of the quark-diagram scheme for the nonleptonic
weak decays of baryons. We apply it to all the decays of the antitriplet and
sextet charmed baryons and express their decay amplitudes in terms of the
quark-diagram amplitudes. We have also given parametrizations for the effects
of final-state interactions. For SU(3) violation effects, we only parametrize
those in the horizontal $W$-loop quark diagrams whose contributions are solely
due to SU(3)-violation effects. In the absence of all these effects, there are
many relations among various decay modes. Some of the relations are valid even
in the presence of final-state interactions when each decay amplitude in the
relation contains only a single phase shift. All these relations provide useful
frameworks to compare with future experiments and to find out the effects of
final-state interactions and SU(3) symmetry violations.

in the presence of longitudinal gauge field. It agrees with the expression used
by Nasser and Turok in semiclassical analysis of instability of electroweak
bubble walls with respect to longitudinal $Z$ condensation. We discuss the
resulting dispersion relation for longitudinal $Z$ field and show that light
species are important for the analysis of stability, because of their large
contribution to plasma frequency.

We examine the issue of dark radiation (DR) from string moduli decay into
axion-like particles (ALPs). In KKLT-type models of moduli stabilization, the
axionlike phases of moduli fields are expected to decouple whilst in LVS-type
moduli stabilization some can remain light and may constitute dark radiation.
We evaluate modulus decay to Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM)
particles and dark radiation for more general compactifications. In spite of
tightening error bars on \Delta N_{eff}, we find only mild constraints on
modulus-ALP couplings due to the somewhat suppressed modulus branching fraction
to DR owing to the large number of MSSM decay modes. We anticipate that future
CMB experiments with greater precision on \Delta N_{eff} may still turn up
evidence for DR if the ALP associated with the lightest modulus field is indeed
light.

Neutrino oscillation signals at muon storage rings (MSR) can be mimicked by
Supersymmetric (SUSY) interactions in an R-parity violating scenario. We have
investigated the $\tau$-appearance signals for both long-baseline and near-site
experiments, and concluded that the latter is of great use in distinguishing
between oscillation and SUSY effects. On the other hand, SUSY can cause a
manifold increase in the event rate for wrong-sign muons at a long-baseline
setting, thereby providing us with signatures of new physics.

With analytical representation for the pp scattering amplitudes introduced
and tested at lower energies, a description of high precision is given of the
$d\sigma/dt$ data at $\sqrt{s}$= 13 TeV for all values of the momentum
transfer, with explicit identification of the real and imaginary parts. In both
$t$ and $b$ coordinates the amplitudes have terms identified as of
non-perturbative and perturbative nature, with distinction of their influences
in forward and large $|t|$ ranges and in central and peripheral regions
respectively. In the forward range, the role of the Coulomb-nuclear
interference phase is investigated. The energy dependence of the parameters of
the amplitudes are reviewed and updated, revealing a possible emergence of a
peculiar behavior of elastic and inelastic profiles in b-space for central
collisions, which seems to be enhanced quickly at higher energies. Some other
models are also briefly discussed in comparison, including the above mentioned
behavior in b-space.

We study DIS with a spin-1 hadron or a nucleus polarized in arbitrary
direction. The differential cross-section in this case will have an azimuthal
dependence. We derive the dependence by including contributions from twist-2-
and twist-3 QCD operators. The twist-3 contribution is computed at tree-level.
A spin-1 hadron or nucleus can have nonzero tensor polarization. We find that
all structure functions related to the tensor-polarization of the initial
hadron can be extracted by study the azimuthal dependence. A nonzero result of
the structure functions of a nucleus from experiment will indicate nontrivial
inner structure of the nucleus.

When neutrinos propagate in a background, their gravitational couplings are
modified by their weak interactions with the particles in the background. In a
medium that contains electrons but no muons or taons, the matter-induced
gravitational couplings of neutrinos are different for the various neutrino
flavors, and they must be taken into account in describing the phenomena
associated with the neutrino oscillations in the presence of strong
gravitational fields. Here we incorporate those couplings in that description,
including also the effects of a magnetic field, and consider the implications
that they have for the emission of high energy neutrinos in the vicinity of
Active Galactic Nuclei.

The sensitivity of Polyakov Nambu-Jona-Lasinio (PNJL) model as an effective
theory of quark dynamics to chiral symmetry has been utilized in studying the
QCD phase-diagram. Also, Poyakov linear sigma-model (PLSM), in which
information about the confining glue sector of the theory was included through
Polyakov-loop potential. Furthermore, from quasi-particle model (QPM), the
gluonic sector of QPM is integrated to LSM in order to reproduce recent lattice
calculations. We review PLSM, QLSM, PNJL and HRG with respect to their
descriptions for the chiral phase-transition. We analyse chiral order-parameter
M(T), normalized net-strange condensate Delta_{q,s}(T) and chiral phase-diagram
and compare the results with lattice QCD. We conclude that PLSM works perfectly
in reproducing M(T) and Delta_{q,s}(T). HRG model reproduces Delta_{q,s}(T),
while PNJL and QLSM seem to fail. These differences are present in QCD chiral
phase-diagram. PLSM chiral boundary is located in upper band of lattice QCD
calculations and agree well with freeze-out results deduced from high-energy
experiments and thermal models. Also, we find that the chiral temperature
calculated from from HRG model is larger than that from PLSM. This is also
larger than the freeze-out temperatures calculated in lattice QCD and deduced
from experiments and thermal models. The corresponding temperature T and
chemical potential mu sets are very similar to that of PLSM. This might be
explained, because the chiral T and mu are calculated using different order
parameters; in HRG vanishing quark-antiquark condensate but in PLSM crossing
(equaling) chiral condensates and Polyakov loop potentials. The latter assumed
that the two phase transitions; chiral and deconfinement, take place at the
same temperature.

A phenomenological analysis of radiative $V\to P\gamma$ and $P\to V\gamma$
decays is performed with the purpose of determining the gluonic content of the
$\eta$ and $\eta^\prime$ wave functions. Our results show that within our model
there is no evidence for a gluonium contribution in the $\eta$,
$Z_\eta^2=0.00\pm 0.12$, or the $\eta^\prime$, $Z_{\eta^\prime}^2=0.04\pm
0.09$. In terms of a mixing angle description this corresponds to
$\phi_P=(41.4\pm 1.3)^\circ$ and $|\phi_{\eta^\prime G}|=(12\pm 13)^\circ$. In
addition, the $\eta$-$\eta^\prime$ mixing angle is found to be $\phi_P=(41.5\pm
1.2)^\circ$ if we don't allow for a gluonium component.

We present results for the phase diagram of QCD with two massless quark
flavours as obtained from a first-principles functional renormalisation group
approach. In particular we compute order parameters for chiral symmetry
breaking and quark confinement at vanishing and non-zero imaginary chemical
potential. Our analytical and numerical results suggest a close relation
between the chiral and the deconfinement phase transition. We discuss the
properties of dual order parameters at imaginary and real chemical potential.

Symmetry-Scaling Based Complex Network Approach to Explore Exotic
Hadronic States in High-Energy Collision

Conventionally invariant mass or transverse momentum techniques have been
used to probe for any formation of some exotic or unusual resonance states in
high energy collision. In this work, we have applied symmetry scaling based
complex network approach to study exotic resonance/hadronic states utilizing
the clustering coefficients and associated scaling parameter extracted with the
complex network based technique of Visibility Graph. We have analyzed the data
of Pb-Pb collision data sample at 2.76 TeV from ALICE Collaboration and
analyzed different patterns of symmetry scaling, scale-freeness, correlation
and clustering among the produced particles. This is a chaos-based complex
network technique where simple parameters like Average Clustering Coefficient
and Power of Scale-freeness of Visibility Graph(PSVG) may hint at formation of
some exotic or unusual resonance states without using conventional methods.
From this experiment we may infer that highest range of Average clustering
coefficient, might be the resonance states/clusters from where the hadronic
decay might have occurred and few clusters with highest value of this parameter
may indicate that those clusters may be the ancestors of some strange
particles. There have also been extensive study of dilepton production since
the study of lepton pair generation in Drell-Yan processes is immensely
important as these processes enable us to validate the Standard Model-SM
predictions for the fundamental particles interaction at the new energy region
and also to probe for new physics beyond SM. Hence we have applied the same
methodology and extracted the same parameters for p-p collision data at 8TeV
from CMS, to detect possible resonance states eventually generating lepton
pairs.

We consider QCD tt~Z production at the LHC with Z->\bar\nu\nu and
all-hadronic tt~ decays, i.e. pp -> p_T(miss)bb~+4 jets, as a tool to measure
ttZ couplings. This channel has a significantly larger cross section than those
where the Z boson decays leptonically. However, tt~, bb~+4 jet, tt~j and tt~jj
production give rise to potentially large backgrounds. We show that these
processes can be suppressed to an acceptable level with suitable cuts, and find
that adding the p_T(miss)bb~+4 jet channel to the final states used in previous
ttZ couplings analyses will improve the sensitivity by 10-60%. We also discuss
how the measurement of the ttZ couplings may constrain Little Higgs models.

In the paper, we calculate the fragmentation functions for a quark to
fragment into a spin-singlet quarkonium, where the flavor of the initial quark
is different from that of the constituent quark in the quarkonium. The
ultraviolet divergences in the phase space integral are removed through the
operator renormalization under the modified minimal subtraction scheme. The
fragmentation function $D_{q \to \eta_Q}(z,\mu_F)$ is expressed as a
two-dimensional integral. Numerical results for the fragmentation functions of
a light quark or a bottom quark to fragment into the $\eta_c$ are presented. As
an application of those fragmentation functions, we study the processes $Z \to
\eta_c+q\bar{q}g(q=u,d,s)$ and $Z \to \eta_c+b\bar{b}g$ under the fragmentation
and the direct nonrelativistic QCD approaches.

We explore a variant on the MT2 kinematic variable which enables dark matter
mass measurements for simple, one stage, cascade decays. This will prove useful
for constraining a subset of supersymmetric processes, or a class of
leptophilic dark matter models at the LHC. We investigate the statistical reach
of these measurements and discuss which sources of error have the largest
effects. For example, we find that using only single stage cascade decays with
initial state radiation, a measurement of a 150 GeV dark matter candidate can
be made to O(10%) for a parent mass of 300 GeV with a production cross section
of 100 fb and 100 fb^(-1) of integrated luminosity.

We present a detailed study, at the fast detector simulation level, of
top-pair photoproduction in semileptonic mode at the LHeC and FCC-he future
colliders. We work in full tree-level QED, not relying on the equivalent-photon
approximation, taking into account the complete photoproduction kinematics.
This allows us to define three photoproduction regions based on the angular
acceptance range of the electron tagger. Those regions provide different
degrees of sensitivity to top-quark effective couplings. We focus on the
$t\bar{t}\gamma$ dipole couplings and the left-handed vector $tbW$ coupling for
which we determine limits at both energies and in different photoproduction
regions. We find that the LHeC and FCC-he will yield tight direct bounds on top
dipole moments, greatly improving on current direct limits from hadron
colliders, and direct limits on the $tbW$ coupling as restrictive as those
expected from the HL-LHC. We also consider indirect limits from $b\to s \gamma$
branching ratio and $CP$ asymmetry, that are well known to be very sensitive
probes of top electromagnetic dipole moments.

New physics near the TeV scale can generate dimension-six operators that
modify the production rate and branching ratios of the Higgs boson. Here, we
show how Higgs boson pair production can yield complementary information on
dimension-six operators involving the gluon field strength. For example, the
invariant mass distribution of the Higgs boson pair can show the extent to
which the masses of exotic TeV-scale quarks come from electroweak symmetry
breaking. We discuss both the current Tevatron bounds on these operators and
the most promising LHC measurement channels for two different Higgs masses: 120
GeV and 180 GeV. We argue that the operators considered in this paper are the
ones most likely to yield interesting Higgs pair physics at the LHC.

New physics near the TeV scale can generate dimension-six operators that modify the production rate and branching ratios of the Higgs boson. Here, we show how Higgs boson pair production can yield complementary information on dimension-six operators involving the gluon field strength. For example, the invariant mass distribution of the Higgs boson pair can show the extent to which the masses of exotic TeV-scale quarks come from electroweak symmetry breaking. We discuss both the current Tevatron bounds on these operators and the most promising LHC measurement channels for two different Higgs masses: 120 GeV and 180 GeV. We argue that the operators considered in this paper are the ones most likely to yield interesting Higgs pair physics at the LHC.

Experimental information on low energy $\pi K$ scattering would shed light on
the poorly known OZI suppressed sector of ChPT. I describe recent work aimed at
generating such information based on available experimental data by setting up
and then solving with appropriate boundary conditions a non linear system of
equations of the Roy and Steiner type. First results of this analysis are
presented.

Ultralight scalar dark matter with mass at or below the eV scale and pressure
from repulsive self-interaction could form a Bose-Einstein condensate in the
early Universe and maybe in galaxies as well. It has been suggested to be a
possible solution to the cusp/core problem or even to explain MOND
phenomenology. In this paper, I initiate a study of possible self-interactions
of ultralight scalar dark matter from the particle physics point of view. To
protect its mass, the scalar dark matter is identified as a pseudo
Nambu-Goldstone boson (pNGB). Quite a few pNGB models with different potentials
such as the QCD axion and the dilaton lead to attractive self-interactions. Yet
if an axion is a remnant of a 5D gauged U(1) symmetry, its self-interactions
could be repulsive provided the masses and charges of the 5D matter
contributing to its potential satisfy certain constraints. Collective symmetry
breaking could also lead to a repulsive self-interaction yet with too large a
strength that is ruled out by Bullet Cluster constraints. I also discuss
cosmological and astrophysical constraints on ultralight repulsive dark matter
in terms of a parametrization motivated by particle physics considerations.

We investigate isospin breaking in low-energy pion-nucleon scattering in the
framework of chiral perturbation theory. This work extends the systematic
analysis of [1] to the energy range above threshold. Various relations, which
identically vanish in the limit of isospin symmetry, are used to quantify
isospin breaking effects. We study the energy dependence of the S- and P-wave
projections of these ratios and find dramatic effects in the S-waves of those
two relations which are given in terms of isoscalar quantities only. This
effect drops rather quickly with growing center-of-mass energy.

We propose a new set of observables that can be used as experimental null
tests of the Standard Model in charged and neutral B decays. The CP asymmetries
in hadronic decays of charged B mesons into inclusive final states containing
at least one of the following mesons: K_{S,L}, eta', c\bar c bound states or
neutral K^* or D mesons, for all of which a U-spin rotation is equivalent to a
CP conjugation, are CKM suppressed and furthermore vanish in the exact U-spin
limit. We show how this reduces the theoretical error by using Soft Collinear
Effective Theory to calculate the CP asymmetries for K_{S,L} X_{s+d}, K^*
X_{s+d} and eta' X_{s+d} final states in the endpoint region. For these CP
asymmetries only the flavor and not the charge of the decaying B meson needs to
be tagged up to corrections of NLO in 1/m_b, making the measurements more
accessible experimentally.

Generally the diagonalization of the mass matrix of the charged leptons is a
part of the neutrino UPMNS matrix. However, usually this contribution is
ignored by assuming a diagonal mass matrix for charged leptons. In this letter
we test this common assumption in the context of neutrino physics. Our
analytical and numerical results for two supersymmetric models reveal that such
a simplification is not justified. Especially for the solar and reactor mixing
angles important modifications are found.

The presently available high-statistics data of the D0 --> K0S pi+ pi-
processes measured by the Belle and BABAR Collaborations are analyzed within a
quasi two-body QCD factorization framework. Starting from the weak effective
Hamiltonian, tree and annihilation amplitudes build up the D0 --> K0S pi+ pi-
decay amplitude. Two of the three final-state mesons are assumed to form a
single scalar, vector or tensor state originating from a quark-antiquark pair
so that the factorization hypothesis can be applied. The meson-meson final
state interactions are described by K pi and pi pi scalar and vector form
factors for the S and P waves and by relativistic Breit-Wigner formulae for the
D waves. A combined chi^2 fit to a Belle Dalitz plot density distribution, to
the total experimental branching fraction and to the tau^- --> K0S pi- nu_tau
decay data is carried out to fix the 33 free parameters. These are mainly
related to the strengths of the scalar form factors and to unknown meson to
meson transition form factors at a large momentum transfer squared equal to the
D0 mass squared. A good overall agreement to the Belle Dalitz plot density
distribution is achieved. Another set of parameters fits equally well the BABAR
Collaboration Dalitz plot model. The branching fractions of the dominant
channels compare well with those of the isobar Belle or BABAR models.The
lower-limit values of the branching fractions of the annihilation amplitudes
are significant. Built upon experimental data from other processes, the unitary
K pi and pi pi scalar form factors, entering our decay amplitude and satisfying
analyticity and chiral symmetry constraints, are furthermore constrained by the
present Dalitz plot analysis. Our decay amplitude could be a useful input for
determinations of D0-D0bar mixing parameters and of the CKM angle gamma (or
phi3).

We derive a simple, closed form expression for the potential of a thin
exponential disk of stars interacting through gravitational potentials of the
form $V(r)=-\beta /r+\gamma r/2$, the potential associated with fundamental
sources in the fourth order conformal invariant theory of gravity which has
recently been advanced by Mannheim and Kazanas as a candidate alternative to
the standard second order Einstein theory. Using the model, we obtain a
reasonable fit (flat to within $\pm3\%$) to the (prototypical) NGC3198 $HI$
rotation curve data without the need for any non-luminous or dark matter. Our
study suggests that th observed flatness of rotation curves may only be an
intermediate phenomenon, and an asymptotic one.

We develop a new method for tagging jets produced by hadronically decaying
top quarks. The method is an application of shower deconstruction, a maximum
information approach that was previously applied to identifying jets produced
by Higgs bosons that decay to bottom quarks. We tag an observed jet as a top
jet based on a cut on a calculated variable that is an approximation to the
ratio of the likelihood that a top jet would have the structure of the observed
jet to the likelihood that a non-top QCD jet would have this structure. We find
that the shower deconstruction based tagger can perform better in
discriminating boosted top quark jets from QCD jets than other publicly
available tagging algorithms.

We have computed the loop-induced processes of neutralino annihilation into
two photons and, for the first time, into a photon and a Z boson in the
framework of the NMSSM. The photons produced from these radiative modes are
monochromatic and possess a clear "smoking gun" experimental signature. This
numerical analysis has been done with the help of the SloopS code, initially
developed for automatic one-loop calculation in the MSSM. We have computed the
rates for different benchmark points coming from SUGRA and GMSB soft SUSY
breaking scenarios and compared them with the MSSM. We comment on how this
signal can be enhanced, with respect to the MSSM, especially in the low mass
region of the neutralino. We also discuss the possibility of this observable to
constrain the NMSSM parameter space, taking into account the latest limits from
the FERMI collaboration on these two modes.

We present examples of fits of fermion mass data using the
$\mathbf{10-120-\oot}$ FM Higgs system in Susy SO(10) GUTs that follow the
scenario\cite{blmdoom,nmsgutI} in which the $\mathbf{120}$ -plet collaborates
with the $ \mathbf{10}$-plet to fit the charged fermion masses while small
$\mathbf{\oot} $-plet couplings enhance the Type I seesaw neutrino masses to
viable values and make the fit to light fermions accurate. Restricting
ourselves to the CP conserving case we use a linear perturbative technique to
obtain accurate charged fermion fits ($\chi^2_{tot} < .2 $) to all the charged
fermion masses and angles. The resulting fits imply Type I neutrino masses that
are generically $10^2- 10^3$ times larger than those obtained in the
$\mathbf{10-\oot}$ scenario precisely because of the small $\mathbf{\oot} $
coupling. Thus the difficulty of obtaining sufficiently large neutrino masses
in the context of these Next to Minimal Susy GUTs is essentially removed. The
remaining free parameters allow one to obtain the correct ratio of neutrino
mass squared splitting and a large($\theta_{23}^{PMNS}$) and
small($\theta_{13}^{PMNS}$) mixing angle. The $\theta_{12}^{PMNS}$ is however
small and this indicates that -as in the Type I $\mathbf{10-\oot}$ case - a
fully realistic fit to the lepton mixing data also \emph{requires} CP
violation.

We present examples of fits of fermion mass data using the $\mathbf{10-120-\oot}$ FM Higgs system in Susy SO(10) GUTs that follow the scenario\cite{blmdoom,nmsgutI} in which the $\mathbf{120}$ -plet collaborates with the $ \mathbf{10}$-plet to fit the charged fermion masses while small $\mathbf{\oot} $-plet couplings enhance the Type I seesaw neutrino masses to viable values and make the fit to light fermions accurate. Restricting ourselves to the CP conserving case we use a linear perturbative technique to obtain accurate charged fermion fits ($\chi^2_{tot} < .2 $) to all the charged fermion masses and angles. The resulting fits imply Type I neutrino masses that are generically $10^2- 10^3$ times larger than those obtained in the $\mathbf{10-\oot}$ scenario precisely because of the small $\mathbf{\oot} $ coupling. Thus the difficulty of obtaining sufficiently large neutrino masses in the context of these Next to Minimal Susy GUTs is essentially removed. The remaining free parameters allow one to obtain the correct ratio of neutrino mass squared splitting and a large($\theta_{23}^{PMNS}$) and small($\theta_{13}^{PMNS}$) mixing angle. The $\theta_{12}^{PMNS}$ is however small and this indicates that -as in the Type I $\mathbf{10-\oot}$ case - a fully realistic fit to the lepton mixing data also \emph{requires} CP violation.

Recent experimental measurements and lattice QCD calculations are now
reaching the precision (and accuracy) needed to over-constrain the CKM
parameters $\bar\rho$ and $\bar\eta$. In this brief review, I discuss the
current status of lattice QCD calculations needed to connect the experimental
measurements of $B$ meson properties to quark flavor-changing parameters.
Special attention is given to $B\to\pi\ell\nu$, which is becoming a competitive
way to determine $|V_{ub}|$, and to $B^0-\bar{B^0}$ mixings, which now include
reliable extrapolation to the physical light quark mass. The combination of the
recent measurement of the $B_s$ mass difference and current lattice
calculations dramatically reduces the uncertainty in $|V_{td}|$. I present an
outlook for reducing dominant lattice QCD uncertainties entering CKM fits, and
I remark on lattice calculations for other decay channels.

We review different avenues of electroweak symmetry breaking explored over
the years. This constitutes a timely exercise as the world's largest and the
highest energy particle accelerator, namely, the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at
CERN near Geneva, has started running whose primary mission is to find the
Higgs or some phenomena that mimic the effects of the Higgs, i.e. to unravel
the mysteries of electroweak phase transition. In the beginning, we discuss the
Standard Model Higgs mechanism. After that we review the Higgs sector of the
Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model. Then we take up three relatively recent
ideas: Little Higgs, Gauge-Higgs Unification, and Higgsless scenarios. For the
latter three cases, we first present the basic ideas and restrict our
illustration to some instructive toy models to provide an intuitive feel of the
underlying dynamics, and then discuss, for each of the three cases, how more
realistic scenarios are constructed and how to decipher their experimental
signatures. Wherever possible, we provide enough pedagogical details, which the
beginners might find useful.

We test the sensitivity of bottom baryon observables with regard to the
choice of the interpolating three-quark currents within the relativistic
three-quark model. We have found that the semileptonic decay rates are clearly
affected by the choice of currents, whereas the asymmetry parameters show only
a very weak dependence on the choice of current.

Hadron production in leading order pQCD is reviewed. The shape of the single
inclusive particle spectra is well described for $p_T \geq 2-3$ GeV at center
of mass energies from 20 GeV to 2 TeV. The phenomenological K-factor is found
to decrease systematically with $\sqrt{s}$. For ultra-relativistic heavy ion
reactions the calculation is augmented with the effects of initial multiple
parton scattering and final state radiative energy loss. Baseline CERN-LHC
predictions for hadron production in $p+p$ and suppression in central $Pb+Pb$
reactions at $\sqrt{s} = 5.5$ TeV are given in comparison to the corresponding
results at BNL-RHIC and CERN-SPS energies.

For special kinematic configurations involving a single momentum scale,
certain standard relations, originating from the Slavnov-Taylor identities of
the theory, may be interpreted as ordinary differential equations for the
``kinetic term'' of the gluon propagator. The exact solutions of these
equations exhibit poles at the origin, which are incompatible with the physical
answer, known to diverge only logarithmically; their elimination hinges on the
validity of two integral conditions that we denominate ``asymmetric'' and
``symmetric'' sum rules, depending on the kinematics employed in their
derivation. The corresponding integrands contain components of the three-gluon
vertex and the ghost-gluon kernel, whose dynamics are constrained when the sum
rules are imposed. For the numerical treatment we single out the asymmetric sum
rule, given that its support stems predominantly from low and intermediate
energy regimes of the defining integral, which are physically more interesting.
Adopting a combined approach based on Schwinger-Dyson equations and lattice
simulations, we demonstrate how the sum rule clearly favors the suppression of
an effective form factor entering in the definition of its kernel. The results
of the present work offer an additional vantage point into the rich and complex
structure of the three-point sector of QCD.

antineutrinos and inverse beta decay events induced by these particles, using
the Monte-Carlo method. The program allows the usage of different antineutrino

We discuss the critical bubbles of the electroweak phase transition using an
effective high-temperature 3-dimensional action for the Higgs field $\varphi$.
The separate integration of gauge and Goldstone boson degrees of freedom is
conveniently described in the 't Hooft-Feynman covariant background gauge. The
effective dimensionless gauge coupling $g_3(T)^2$ in the broken phase is well
behaved throughout the phase transition. However, the behavior of the one-loop
$Z(\varphi)$ factors of the Higgs and gauge kinetic terms signalizes the
breakdown of the derivative expansion and of the perturbative expansion for a
range of small $\varphi$ values increasing with the Higgs mass $m_H$. Taking a
functional $S_z[\varphi]$ with constant $Z(\varphi)=z$ instead of the full
non-local effective action in some neighborhood of the saddlepoint we are
calculating the critical bubbles for several temperatures. The fluctuation
determinant is calculated to high accuracy using a variant of the heat kernel
method. It gives a strong suppression of the transition rate compared to
previous estimates.

The existence of a mass gap between the Standard Model (SM) and possible new
states encourages us to use effective field theories. Here we follow the
non-linear realization of the electroweak symmetry breaking: the electroweak
effective theory (EWET), also known as Higgs effective field theory (HEFT) or
electroweak chiral Lagrangian (EWChL). At short distances an effective
resonance Lagrangian which couples the SM states to bosonic and fermionic
resonances is considered. After integrating out the resonances and assuming a
well-behaved high-energy behavior, we estimate or bound purely bosonic
low-energy constants in terms of only resonance masses. Current experimental
information on these low-energy constants allows us to constrain the
high-energy resonance masses.

Although different parametrizations of quark mixing matrix are mathematically
equivalent, the consequences of experimental analysis may be distinct. Based on
the triminimal expansion of Kobayashi-Maskawa matrix around the unit matrix, we
propose a new simple parametrization. Compared with the Wolfenstein
parametrization, we find that the new form is not only consistent with the
original one in the hierarchical structure, but also more convenient for
numerical analysis and measurement of the CP-violating phase. By discussing the
relation between our new form and the unitarity boomerang, we point out that
along with the unitarity boomerang, this new parametrization is useful in
hunting for new physics.

We discuss, in the context of precision measurement of Delta m^2_{31} and
theta_{13}, physics capabilities enabled by the recoilless resonant absorption
of monochromatic antineutrino beam enhanced by the M\"ossbauer effect recently
proposed by Raghavan. Under the assumption of small relative systematic error
of a few tenth of percent level between measurement at different detector
locations, we give analytical and numerical estimates of the sensitivities to
Delta m^2_{31} and sin^2 2theta_{13}. The accuracies of determination of them
are enormous; The fractional uncertainty in Delta m^2_{31} achievable by 10
point measurement is 0.6% (2.4%) for sin^2 2theta_{13} = 0.05, and the
uncertainty of sin^2 2theta_{13} is 0.002 (0.008) both at 1 sigma CL with the
optimistic (pessimistic) assumption of systematic error of 0.2% (1%). The
former opens a new possibility of determining the neutrino mass hierarchy by
comparing the measured value of Delta m^2_{31} with the one by accelerator
experiments, while the latter will help resolving the theta_{23} octant
degeneracy.

Transverse momentum broadening of a parton propagating through a large
nucleus is evaluated in the color dipole approach using different models for
the dipole cross section or unintegrated gluon distribution, which lead to
different values of the coefficient $C_{\mathcal{F}}(0,s)$. Numerical
calculations are compared to data extracted from LHCb and ALICE experiments for
nuclear broadening of $J/\psi$. We find that different models which describe
the small-$x$ data predict values of $\Delta p_T^2$ that agree reasonably well
with experiment, specially for forward rapidity. The centrality dependence was
also analysed and the models are consistent with the ALICE measurements.

The electromagnetic and the muonic longitudinal profile at production
enclosure important information about the primary particle and the hadronic
interactions that rule the shower development. In fact, these two profiles
provide two different insights of the shower: the electromagnetic component
gives a measurement of the energy and the strength of the neutral pion channel;
while the muonic profile, being intimately related with the charged mesons
decays, can be used as a direct probe for the high energy hadronic
interactions.
In this work we explore the interplay between the electromagnetic and muonic
profiles, by analysing their phenomenologic behaviour for different primary
masses and energies, zenith angles, and also different high energy hadronic
interaction models. We have found that the muonic longitudinal profile at
production displays universal features similar to what is known for the
electromagnetic one. Moreover, we show that both profiles have new primary mass
composition variables which are fairly independent of the high energy hadronic
interaction model.
Finally we discuss how the information in the electromagnetic and the muonic
longitudinal profile can be combined to break the degeneracy between the
primary mass composition and the high energy hadronic physics.

A qualitative calculation and discussion of two vortex states collisions are
given in the scalar $\phi ^4$ model. Three kinds of vortex states -- Bessel,
general monochromatic, and Laguerre-Gaussian vortex states -- are considered.
It is found that the total final momentum distribution in collision of physical
vortex states displays general topological structures, which depend on the
initial vortex states' topological charges, which are proportional to the
orbital angular momenta. This peculiar matching provides a novel observable,
the topological number of momentum distribution, and it may represent a new
fascinating research direction in particle physics. We also find that the
situation when the angular momenta of the two colliding Laguerre-Gaussian
states combine to zero can be recognized by the total final momentum
distribution close to the collision axis. Both features can be used to measure
the orbital angular momentum of vortex states.

We show how perturbation theory may be reorganized to give splitting
functions which include order by order convergent sums of all leading
logarithms of $x$. This gives a leading twist evolution equation for parton
distributions which sums all leading logarithms of $x$ and $Q^2$, allowing
stable perturbative evolution down to arbitrarily small values of $x$.
Perturbative evolution then generates the double scaling rise of $F_2$ observed
at HERA, while in the formal limit $x\to 0$ at fixed $Q^2$ the Lipatov
$x^{-\lambda}$ behaviour is eventually reproduced. We are thus able to explain
why leading order perturbation theory works so well in the HERA region.

We perform the general relativistic stability analysis against radial
oscillations of unpaired quark stars obtained using the equation of state for
cold quark matter from perturbative QCD, the only free parameter being the
renormalization scale. This approach consistently incorporates the effects of
interactions and includes a built-in estimate of the inherent systematic
uncertainties in the evaluation of the equation of state. We also take into
account the constraints imposed by the recent gravitational wave event GW
170817 to the compact star masses and radii, and restrict their vibrational
spectrum.

If the inflaton field is coupled to the hypercharge Chern-Simons density
$F\tilde F$, an explosive production of helical gauge fields when inflation
ends can trigger baryogenesis at the electroweak phase transition. Besides,
Higgs inflation identifies the inflaton with the Higgs field $\mathcal H$, thus
relating cosmological observables to properties of electroweak physics. In this
paper we merge both approaches: the helical gauge fields are produced at the
end of Higgs inflation from the coupling $|\mathcal H|^2 F\tilde F$. In the
metric formulation of gravity we found a window in the parameter space for
electroweak baryogenesis consistent with all experimental observations.
Conversely, for the Palatini formalism the non-gaussianity bounds strongly
constrain the helicity produced at the end of inflation, forbidding an
efficient baryogenesis.

The production of the initial state of the QGP in very high-energy $AA$
collisions is discussed within the framework of perturbative QCD and
saturation. The next-to-leading order computation of the transverse energy of
minijets is reviewed. Saturation of parton production, conjectured to occur at
a dynamically determinable perturbative scale, leads to estimates of the
initial densities. The final state multiplicities are predicted by assuming an
isentropic hydrodynamical further evolution. Comparison with RHIC data is
shown.

ATLAS and CMS have each reported a modest diphoton excess consistent with the
decay of a broad resonance at ~ 750 GeV. We show how this signal can arise in a
weakly coupled theory comprised solely of narrow width particles. In
particular, if the decaying particle is produced off-shell, then the associated
diphoton resonance will have a broad, adjustable width. We present simplified
models which explain the diphoton excess through the three-body decay of a
scalar or fermion. Our minimal ultraviolet completion is a weakly coupled and
renormalizable theory of a singlet scalar plus a heavy vector-like quark and
lepton. The smoking gun of this mechanism is an asymmetric diphoton peak
recoiling against missing transverse energy, jets, or leptons.

A realistic scheme for masses and mixing of leptons is investigated in the
model with gauged SO(3) lepton flavor symmetry. Within this scheme, a nearly
`bi-maximal' neutrino mixing pattern with maximal CP-violating phase is found
to be the only possible solution for reconciling both solar and atmospheric
neutrino flux anomalies. Three Majorana neutrino masses are nearly degenerate
and allow to be large enough to play a significant cosmological role. Lepton
flavor-violating effects via SO(3) gauge interactions can be as large as the
present experimental limits. Masses of the SO(3) gauge bosons are bounded to be
above 24 TeV when taking the SO(3) gauge boson mixing angle $\theta_{F}$ and
coupling constant $g'_{3}$ to be the same as those ($\theta_{W}$ and $g$) in
the electroweak theory.

via on- or off-shell $W$-bosons they can be expected to contribute to a
precision $W^+W^-$ cross section measurement. Using the latest results of the
CMS experiment, we revisit constraints on the stop quark production and find
that this measurement can exclude portions of the parameter space not probed by
dedicated searches. In particular we can exclude light top squarks up to
230~GeV along the line separating three- and four-body decays, $\tilde{t}_1 \to
\tilde{\chi}_1^0 W^{(*)} b$. We also study the exclusion limits in the case
when the branching ratio for these decays is reduced and we show significant

by the COHERENT experiment at the Spallation Neutron Source. On the basis of
the observed signal and our nuclear calculations for the relevant Cs and I
isotopes, the extracted constraints on both conventional and exotic neutrino

involving vector and tensor nonstandard interactions as well as neutrino
electromagnetic properties, with an emphasis on the neutrino magnetic moment

The relationship between QCD and the string model offers a valuable
perspective for exploring the interaction potential between quarks. In this
study, we investigate the restoration of chiral symmetry in connection with the
Unruh effect experienced by accelerating observers. Utilizing the Schwinger
model, we analyze the critical point at which the string or chromoelectric flux
tube between quark-antiquarks breaks with increasing separation between quarks.
In this study, the critical distance for quark-antiquark chromoelectric flux
tube or string breaking is determined to be $r_c=1.294\pm0.040$ fm. The
acceleration and Unruh temperature corresponding to this critical point signify
the transition of the system's chiral symmetry from a broken to a restored
state. Our estimates for the critical acceleration ($a_c=1.14\times 10^{34}$
cm/s$^{2}$) and Unruh temperature ($T_c=0.038$ GeV) align with previous
studies. This analysis illuminates the interplay between chiral symmetry
restoration, the Unruh effect, and the breaking of the string or chromoelectric
flux tube within the context of quark interactions.

The relationship between QCD and the string model offers a valuable perspective for exploring the interaction potential between quarks. In this study, we investigate the restoration of chiral symmetry in connection with the Unruh effect experienced by accelerating observers. Utilizing the Schwinger model, we analyze the critical point at which the string or chromoelectric flux tube between quark-antiquarks breaks with increasing separation between quarks. In this study, the critical distance for quark-antiquark chromoelectric flux tube or string breaking is determined to be $r_c=1.294\pm0.040$ fm. The acceleration and Unruh temperature corresponding to this critical point signify the transition of the system's chiral symmetry from a broken to a restored state. Our estimates for the critical acceleration ($a_c=1.14\times 10^{34}$ cm/s$^{2}$) and Unruh temperature ($T_c=0.038$ GeV) align with previous studies. This analysis illuminates the interplay between chiral symmetry restoration, the Unruh effect, and the breaking of the string or chromoelectric flux tube within the context of quark interactions.

We propose a deep learning-based search strategy for pair production of
doubly charged scalars undergoing three-body decays to $W^+ t\bar b$ in the
same-sign lepton plus multi-jet final state. This process is motivated by
composite Higgs models with an underlying fermionic UV theory. We demonstrate
that for such busy final states, jet image classification with convolutional
neural networks outperforms standard fully connected networks acting on
reconstructed kinematic variables. We derive the expected discovery reach and
exclusion limit at the high-luminosity LHC.

We analyse a supersymmetric string-inspired model of all fermion masses and
mixing angles based on the Pati-Salam $SU(4)\times SU(2)_L \times SU(2)_R$
gauge group supplemented by a $U(1)_X$ flavour symmetry.
The model involves third family Yukawa unification and predicts the top mass
and the ratio of the vacuum expectation values $\tan \beta$.
The model also provides a successful description of the CKM matrix and
predicts the masses of the down and strange quarks.
However our main focus is on the neutrino masses and MNS mixing angles, and
we show how the recent atmospheric neutrino mixing observed by
Super-Kamiokande, and the MSW solution to the solar neutrino problem lead to
important information about the flavour structure of the model near the string
scale.
We show how single right-handed neutrino dominance may be implemented by the
use of ``Clebsch zeros'', leading to the LMA MSW solution, corresponding to
bi-maximal mixing. The LOW MSW and SMA MSW solutions are also discussed.

We study dijet production in proton-proton collisions with a veto on the
emission of a third jet in the rapidity region in between the two leading ones.
We resum the leading logarithms in the ratio of the transverse momentum of the
leading jets and the veto scale and we match this result to leading-order QCD
matrix elements. We find that, in order to obtain sensible results, we have to
modify the resummation and take into account energy-momentum conservation
effects. We compare our theoretical predictions for the gap fraction to
experimental data measured by the ATLAS collaboration and find good agreement,
although our results are affected by large theoretical uncertainties. We then
discuss differences and similarities of our calculation to other theoretical
approaches.

We present a calculation of t-channel single-top-quark production and decay
in the five-flavor scheme at NNLO. Our results resolve a disagreement between
two previous calculations of this process that found a difference in the
inclusive cross section at the level of the NNLO coefficient itself. We compare
in detail with the previous calculations at the inclusive, differential and
fiducial level including b-quark tagging at a fixed scale $\mu=m_t$. In
addition, we advocate the use of double deep inelastic scattering (DDIS) scales
($\mu^2=Q^2$ for the light-quark line and $\mu^2=Q^2+m_t^2$ for the heavy-quark
line) that maximize perturbative stability and allow for robust scale
uncertainties. All NNLO and NLO$\,\otimes\,$NLO contributions for production
and decay are included in the on-shell and vertex-function approximation. We
present fiducial and differential results for a variety of observables used in
Standard Model and Beyond Standard Model analyses, and find an important
difference between the NLO and NNLO predictions of exclusive $t+n$-jet cross
sections. Overall we find that NNLO corrections are crucial for a precise
identification of the t-channel process.

We discuss energy dependence of mean $p_{\rm T}$ correlation with $N_{\rm
ch}$ basing on general features of high energy collisions such as saturation
and geometrical scaling. We use Color Glass Condensate calculation of an
effective interaction radius that scales as a third root of multiplicity, and
then saturates. With this model input we construct scaling variable for $<
p_{\rm T} > (N_{\rm ch})$ at different energies both for pp and pPb collisions,
and show that recent ALICE data indeed does exhibit this scaling property. We
discuss energy dependence of the interaction radius and argue that since the
radius cannot grow too large, a universal behavior of $< p_{\rm T} >$ for large
multiplicities is expected.

Mixing between ultralight bosons and the Standard Model photon may allow
access to the hitherto invisible Universe. In the presence of plasma, photons
are dressed with an effective mass which will influence the conversion between
the two. We study this phenomenon, known as in-medium suppression, in the
context of black hole physics. We consider both axion-photon mixing around
charged black holes and dark photon-photon mixing around neutral black holes.
We find that the presence of plasma indeed influences the conversion rate,
possibly quenching it altogether for large plasma densities, and discuss
implications for superradiance and observational signatures.

We present a model for the polarized cross-sections of the hard diffractive
leptoproduction of rho meson in the high energy limit. Our model is based on
the light-cone collinear factorization of the virtual photon to rho meson
impact factor when using the impact factor representation of the helicity
amplitudes of the rho meson leptoproduction. This gauge invariant treatment
when expressed in impact parameter space, leads to the factorization on one
hand of the color dipole scattering amplitude and on the other hand of the
distribution amplitudes of the rho meson up to twist 2 and 3. We show that the
results of this approach are in good agreement with HERA data for virtualities
above ~5 GeV^2.

With the Higgs search program already quite mature, there is the exciting
possibility of discovering a new particle with rates near that of the SM Higgs.
We consider models with a signal in $\gamma \gamma$ below the SM Higgs mass,
taking the recent $2.9\, \sigma$ (local) CMS excess at 95 GeV as a target. We
discuss singlet models with additional vectorlike matter, but argue that a
Type-I two Higgs doublet model provides a more economical scenario. In such a
setup, going into regions of moderate-to-strong fermiophobia, the enhanced
$\gamma \gamma$ branching ratio allows signals from $VH$+VBF production to
yield $\sigma \times BR_{\gamma\gamma} $ comparable to total SM rates. Light
$H$ production can be dominated via rare top decays $t \rightarrow b H^+
\rightarrow b W^{*} H$, which provides an alternate explanation of the excess.
We consider this in the context of other Higgs anomalies, namely the LEP Higgs
excess near the same mass, and excesses in $t\bar{t}h$ searches at Tevatron and
LHC. We find that with $140\, \mathrm{GeV} < m_{H^+} < 160\, \mathrm{GeV}$,
$\tan \beta \sim 5$ and a coupling to gauge bosons of $\sin^2 \delta \sim 0.1$,
such a scenario can produce all the excesses simultanously, where $tth$ arise
from contamination from the rare top decays, as previously proposed. An
implication of the Type-I scenario is that any $\gamma \gamma$ excess should be
associated with additional elements that could reduce background, including
$b$-jets, forward jets or signs of vector boson production.

We investigate the hybrid exotic meson with $J^{PC}=1^{-+}$ within the
framework of an AdS/QCD model. Introducing a holographic field dual to the
operator for hybrid exotic meson, we obtain the eigen-value equation for its
mass. Fixing all free parameters by QCD observables such as the $\rho$-meson
mass, we predict the masses of the hybrid exotic meson. The results turn out to
be $1476 \mathrm{MeV}$ for the ground state, and $2611 \mathrm{MeV}$ for the
first excited one. Being compared with the existing experimental data for the
$\pi_1(1400)$, which is known to be $m_{\pi_1} = 1351\pm30 \mathrm{MeV}$, the
present result seems to be qualitative in agreement with it. We also predict
the decay constant of $\pi_1$(1400): $F_{\pi_1}= 10.6$ MeV.

four-form field induces modifications to the Higgs self-coupling constant, the
cosmological constant, and the non-minimal coupling constant, which results in
the modification to the inflaton potential. We also show that there is no need
for the Higgs-gravity coupling in the presence of four-form-gravity
interaction, but still can produce the right amount of density perturbation for
inflation.

We consider a new inflationary model in which an antisymmetric tensor field $A_{\nu\rho\sigma}$ and its four-form field strength $F_{\mu\nu\rho\sigma}=4\partial_{[\mu} A_{\nu\rho\sigma]}$ are coupled to the scalar sector of the standard model and to the Ricci scalar $\mathcal{R}$. The four-form field induces modifications to the Higgs self-coupling constant, the cosmological constant, and the non-minimal coupling constant, which results in the modification to the inflaton potential. We also show that there is no need for the Higgs-gravity coupling in the presence of four-form-gravity interaction, but still can produce the right amount of density perturbation for inflation.

We present an analysis of the theoretical neutrino mixing matrix,
V_{PMNS}^{th}, previously derived in the framework of the minimal S_3-invariant
extension of the Standard Model. All entries in the neutrino mixing matrix,
V_{PMNS}^{th}, the mixing angles and the Majorana phases are given as exact,
explicit analytical functions of the mass ratios of the charged leptons and
neutrinos, and one Dirac phase, in excellent agreement with the the latest
experimental data. Here, it will be shown that all entries in V_{PMNS}^{th} are
numerically very close to the tri-bimaximal form of the neutrino mixing matrix,
so that V_{PMNS}^{th} may be written as V^{tri}+\Delta V_{PMNS}^{tri}. The
small correction \Delta V_{PMNS}^{tri} is expressed as a sum of two terms:
first, a small correction term proportional to m_{e}/m_{\mu} depending only on
the charged lepton mass ratios and, second, a Cabbibo-like, small term, \delta
t_{12}, which is a function of both the charged lepton and the neutrino mass
ratios.

We present up-to-date matched predictions for the $b\bar{b}H$ inclusive cross
section at the LHC at $\sqrt{s}=13$ TeV. Using a previously developed method,
our predictions consistently combine the complete NLO contributions that are
present in the 4-flavor scheme calculation, including finite b-quark mass
effects as well as top-loop induced $Y_b Y_t$ interference contributions, with
the resummation of collinear logarithms of $m_b/m_H$ as present in the 5-flavor
scheme calculation up to NNLO. We provide a detailed estimate of the
perturbative uncertainties of the matched result by examining its dependence on
the factorization and renormalization scales, the scale of the Yukawa coupling,
and also the low b-quark matching scale in the PDFs. We motivate the use of a
central renormalization scale of $m_H$/2, which is halfway between the values
typically chosen in the 4-flavor and 5-flavor scheme calculations. We evaluate
the parametric uncertainties due to the PDFs and the b-quark mass, and in
particular discuss how to systematically disentangle the parametric $m_b$
dependence and the unphysical b-quark matching scale dependence. Our best
prediction for the $b\bar{b} H$ production cross section in the Standard Model
at 13 TeV and for $m_H$ = 125 GeV is $\sigma(b\bar b H) = 0.52 \,{\rm pb}\, [1
\pm 9.6\% {\rm (perturbative)}\,{}^{+2.9\%}_{-3.6\%} {\rm (parametric)}]$. We
also provide predictions for a range of Higgs masses $m_H\in [50, 750]$ GeV.
Our method to compute the matched prediction and to evaluate its uncertainty
can be readily applied to other heavy-quark-initiated processes at the LHC.
