Dark matter captured by interaction with electrons inside the Sun may annihilate via long-lived mediator to produce observable gamma ray signals. We utilize solar gamma ray flux measurements from the Fermi Large Area Telescope and High Altitude Water Cherenkov observatory to put bounds on the dark matter electron scattering cross-section. We find that our limits are four to six orders of magnitude stronger than the existing limits for dark matter masses ranging between GeV to PeV scale.

In this work, we study the effects that interacting quark matter has on the stellar structure of strange and charm quark stars. Additionally, their stability against radial pulsations is analyzed using a first-order formalism for adiabatic general relativistic oscillations. Besides, the early stage of stellar evolution of neutron stars after the supernovae explosion, i.e. protoneutron stars, is investigated by considering the possibility of a first-order phase transition to quark matter rich in leptons, where the dynamics of conversion between phases is studied within a thermal nucleation model. For each kind of compact star mentioned we use for the quark phase the equation of state calculated within cold perturbative QCD (pQCD), parametrized only by its renormalization scale. We note that the original pQCD framework is manipulated appropriately to include neutrinos and extended to add heavy quarks to the original system composed only by up, down and strange quark flavors.

We investigate the precision with which a neutron star gravitational binding energy can be measured through the supernova neutrino signal, without assuming any prior such as the energy equipartition hypothesis, mean energies hierarchy or constraints on the pinching parameters that characterize the neutrino spectra. We consider water Cherenkov detectors and prove that combining inverse beta decay with elastic scattering on electrons is sufficient to reach $11\%$ precision on the neutron star gravitational binding energy already with Super-Kamiokande. The inclusion of neutral current events on oxygen in the analysis does not improve the precision further. We show that $3\%$ precision can be achieved if priors are introduced, such as energy equipartition. We discuss the implications of our findings on the properties of the newly formed neutron star, in particular concerning the assessment of the compactness or mass--radius relation.

We analyze the CP asymmetries of $B\to \phi K$ and $B\to \eta^{(\prime)} K$ modes in the QCD improved factorization framework. For our calculation we use the phenomenological parameters predetermined from the global fit for the available $B\to PP$ and $VP$ modes (without the quark-level subprocess $b\to s\bar s s$). We show that the large negative $\sin (2\phi_1)_{\phi K_s}$ and the large branching ratio for $B^{\pm}\to \eta' K^{\pm}$ can be simultaneously explained in the context of supersymmetry (SUSY). The R-parity conserving SUGRA models are used and their parameter space is constrained with the observed dark matter relic density along with other experimental constraints. The R-parity violating SUSY models are also used to show that they can provide solutions. We calculate the CP asymmetries for different $B^{\pm (0)} \to \phi K^{\pm (0)}$ and $B^{\pm (0)} \to \eta^{(')} K^{\pm (0)}$ modes and show that the SUSY model predictions are consistent with the available experimental data.

The results of theoretical investigation of angular distributions of radiation from a relativistic electron passing through a thin crystal at a small angle to the crystal axis are presented. The electron trajectories in crystal were simulated using the binary collision model which takes into account both coherent and incoherent effects at scattering. The angular distribution of radiation was calculated as a sum of radiation from each electron. It is shown that there are nontrivial angular distributions of the emitted photons, which is connected to the superposition of the coherent scattering of electrons by atomic rows (doughnut scattering effect) and the suppression of the radiation due to the multiple scattering effect (similar to the Landau-Pomeranchuk-Migdal effect in an amorphous matter). The orientation dependence of angular distribution of radiation is also analyzed.

A model of multiparticle production in hadronic collisions at ultra-relativistic energies, based on the assumption of independent string fragmentation, reproduces the rapidity spectra of $\Lambda$ and $\bar{\Lambda}$ in sulphur-sulphur collisions reported by the NA35 Collaboration. This is achieved after a reconsideration of the intermediate multi-string states and the structure of the diquarks. Nuclear stopping power is also studied through the computation of the $p-\bar{p}$ rapidity spectra.

{We present a study of neutron star models that contain dark matter (DM) in the core. The DM is assumed to have a particle nature and to be self-interacting. Using constraints on the mass and radius of neutron stars, we investigate the allowed properties of either bosonic or fermionic DM particles. We consider cases where it constitutes up to 15\% of the mass of the star, even though conventional mechanisms cannot generate such large fractions. For this purpose three different models of neutron stars are considered, the first involving nucleons only, the second including hyperons, and the last involving strange matter in the core. Different EoSs are constructed for the various cases of fermionic and bosonic DM. These EoSs are solved for selected properties of the DM particles and the results are tested against mass, radius and tidal deformability constraints for neutron stars. The distribution of energy density of DM and ordinary matter inside the neutron stars is also presented. It is found that if the DM is fermionic in nature it does not just sit in the core but it is present everywhere in the star, from the centre to outside the surface and may even envelop it.

We explore the feasibility of detecting heavy neutrinos by the existing facilities of neutrino experiments. A heavy neutrino in the mass range 1 MeV < M < 500 MeV is produced by pion or kaon decay, and decays to charged particles which leave signals in neutrino detectors. Taking the T2K experiment as a typical example, we estimate the heavy neutrino flux produced in the neutrino beam line. Due to massive nature of the heavy neutrino, the spectrum of the heavy neutrino is significantly different from that of the ordinary neutrinos. While the ordinary neutrinos are emitted to various directions in the laboratory frame due to their tiny masses, the heavy neutrinos tend to be emitted to the forward directions and frequently hit the detector.The sensitivity for the mixing parameters is studied by evaluating the number of signal events in the near detector ND280. For the electron-type mixing, the sensitivity of T2K at 10^{21} POT is found to be better than that of the previous experiment PS191, which has placed the most stringent bounds on the mixing parameters of the heavy neutrinos for 140 MeV< M < 500 MeV.

An outstanding problem in QCD and jet physics is the factorization and resummation of logarithms that arise due to phase space constraints, so-called non-global logarithms (NGLs). In this paper, we show that NGLs can be factorized and resummed down to an unresolved infrared scale by making sufficiently many measurements on a jet or other restricted phase space region. Resummation is accomplished by renormalization group evolution of the objects in the factorization theorem and anomalous dimensions can be calculated to any perturbative accuracy and with any number of colors. To connect with the NGLs of more inclusive measurements, we present a novel perturbative expansion which is controlled by the volume of the allowed phase space for unresolved emissions. Arbitrary accuracy can be obtained by making more and more measurements so to resolve lower and lower scales. We find that even a minimal number of measurements produces agreement with Monte Carlo methods for leading-logarithmic resummation of NGLs at the sub-percent level over the full dynamical range relevant for the Large Hadron Collider. We also discuss other applications of our factorization theorem to soft jet dynamics and how to extend to higher-order accuracy.

The motivation for the development of a local finite density theory is discussed. One of the problems related to an instability in the baryon number fluctuation of the chiral symmetry breaking phase of the quark system in the local theory is shown to exist. Such an instability problem is removed by taking into account the statistical blocking effects for the quark propagator, which depends on a macroscopic {\em statistical blocking parameter} $\epsilon$. This new frame work is then applied to study color superconducting phase of the light quark system.

The supernumerous eta(1405) is considered a strong candidate for the pseudoscalar glueball. In a phenomenological chiral approach, we consider a mixing scenario of bare pseudoscalar (n bar n) and (s bar s) quarkonia with the glueball. We study the decay properties and point out the peculiarities of this scenario in order to support the possible identification of the J(PC) = 0(-+) glueball.

The supernumerous eta(1405) is considered a strong candidate for the pseudoscalar glueball. In a phenomenological chiral approach, we consider a mixing scenario of bare pseudoscalar (n bar n) and (s bar s) quarkonia with the glueball. We study the decay properties and point out the peculiarities of this scenario in order to support the possible identification of the J(PC) = 0(-+) glueball.

The simplest linear seesaw mechanism can accommodate the new CDF-II $W$ mass measurement. In addition to Standard Model particles, the model includes quasi-Dirac leptons, and a second, leptophilic, scalar doublet seeding small neutrino masses. Our proposal is consistent with electroweak precision tests, neutrino physics, rare decays and collider restrictions, requiring a new charged scalar below a few TeV, split in mass from the new degenerate scalar and pseudoscalar neutral Higgs bosons.

As part of a programme to develop parton showers with controlled logarithmic accuracy, we consider the question of collinear spin correlations within the PanScales family of parton showers. We adapt the well-known Collins-Knowles spin-correlation algorithm to PanScales antenna and dipole showers, using an approach with similarities to that taken by Richardson and Webster. To study the impact of spin correlations, we develop Lund-declustering based observables that are sensitive to spin-correlation effects both within and between jets and extend the MicroJets collinear single-logarithmic resummation code to include spin correlations. Together with a 3-point energy correlation observable proposed recently by Chen, Moult and Zhu, this provides a powerful set of constraints for validating the logarithmic accuracy of our shower results. The new observables and their resummation further open the pathway to phenomenological studies of these important quantum mechanical effects.

It is argued that an account for the Veneziano ghost pole, appearing in resolving the U(1) problem, is necessary for understanding an isospin violation in the $ \pi - \eta - \eta' $ system. By virtue of a perturbative expansion around the $ SU(2)_{V} $ ( $ m_{u} = m_{d} $ ) symmetric Veneziano solution, we find that the ghost considerably suppresses isospin breaking gluon and s-quark matrix elements. We speculate further on a few cases where the proposed mechanism can play an essential role. We discuss the isospin violation in meson-nucleon couplings and its relevance to the problem of charge asymmetric nuclear forces and possible breaking of the Bjorken sum rule. It is shown that the ghost pole could yield the isospin violation of order 2 \% for the $ \pi N $ couplings and 20 \% for the Bjorken sum rule.

Topology in momentum space is the main characteristics of the ground states of a system at zero temperature, the quantum vacua. The gaplessness of fermions in bulk, on the surface or inside the vortex core is protected by topology. Irrespective of the deformation of the parameters of the microscopic theory, the energy spectrum of these fermions remains strictly gapless. This solves the main hierarchy problem in particle physics. The quantum vacuum of Standard Model is one of the representatives of topological matter alongside with topological superfluids and superconductors, topological insulators and semi-metals, etc. There is a number of of topological invariants in momentum space of different dimensions. They determine universality classes of the topological matter and the type of the effective theory which emerges at low energy, give rise to emergent symmetries, including the effective Lorentz invariance, and emergent gauge and gravitational fields. The topological invariants in extended momentum and coordinate space determine the bulk-surface and bulk-vortex correspondence, connecting the topology in bulk with the real space. The momentum space topology gives some lessons for quantum gravity. In effective gravity emerging at low energy, the collective variables are the tetrad field and spin connections, while the metric is the composite object of tetrad field. This suggests that the Einstein-Cartan-Sciama-Kibble theory with torsion field is more relevant. There are also several scenarios of Lorentz invariance violation governed by topology, including splitting of Fermi point and development of the Dirac points with quadratic and cubic spectrum. The latter leads to the natural emergence of the Horava-Lifshitz gravity.

We derive analytical formulas for the equal-time Wigner function in an electromagnetic field of arbitrary strength. While the magnetic field is assumed to be constant, the electric field is assumed to be space-independent and oriented parallel to the magnetic field. The Wigner function is first decomposed in terms of the so-called Dirac-Heisenberg-Wigner (DHW) functions and then the transverse-momentum dependence is separated using a new set of basis functions which depend on the quantum number $n$ of the Landau levels. Equations for the coefficients are derived and then solved for the case of a constant electric field. The pair-production rate for each Landau level is calculated. In the case of finite temperature and chemical potential, the pair-production rate is suppressed by Pauli's exclusion principle.

Soft mode near the critical end point in the phase diagram of two-flavor Nambu--Jona-Lasinio (NJL) model is investigated within the leading 1/N_c approximation with N_c being the number of the colors. It is explicitly shown by studying the spectral function of the scalar channel that the relevant soft mode is the scalar density fluctuation, which is coupled with the quark number density, while the sigma meson mode stays massive.

We propose a new type of radiative seesaw model in which observed neutrino masses are generated through a three-loop level diagram in combination with tree-level type-II seesaw mechanism in a renormalizable theory. We introduce a Non-abelian flavor symmetry $T_7$ in order to constrain the form of Yukawa interactions and Higgs potential. Although several models based on a Non-abelian flavor symmetry predict the universal coupling constants among the standard model like Higgs boson and charged leptons, which is disfavored by the current LHC data, our model can avoid such a situation. We show a benchmark parameter set that is consistent with the current experimental data, and we discuss multi-muon events as a key collider signature to probe our model.

It is pointed out that there is a strong correlation between the neutralino dark matter scattering cross section $\sigma_{\tilde{\chi} p}$ and the branching ratio for $B_s \to \mu^+ \mu^-$ within minimal supergravity (mSUGRA) and its extensions. This correlation arises mainly from $\tan\beta$ and heavy neutral Higgs mass dependence, and shows a nice interplay between vastly different two observables within supersymmetric models. Current upper limit on $B(B_s \to \mu^+ \mu^-) < 5.8 \times 10^{-7}$ excludes substantial parameter space where $\sigma_{\tilde{\chi} p}$ is within the CDMS sensitivity region.

Exchange of unparticle stuff of dimension $d_\U$ with FCNC interaction can induce $M^{12,u}$ and $\Gamma^{12,u}$ causing meson and anti-meson mixing with the relation $\Gamma^{12,u}/M^{12,u} = 2 \tan(\pi d_\U)$. We show that this type of unparticle contribution can provide the much needed large $\Gamma^{12}_s$ to explain the recently observed anomalously large dimuon asymmetry in $B_s -\bar B_s$ system reported by D0 collaboration. The same interaction can also accommodate large mixing induced CP violation in $B_s \to J/\psi \phi$ indicated by CDF and D0 data. Experimental data can provide constraints on the unparticle dimension and scale.

We compute the next-to-leading order (NLO) QCD corrections to the $gg \to W^+ W^- \to l^+_1 \nu_1 l^-_2 \bar \nu_2$ process, mediated by a massless quark loop, at the LHC. This process first contributes to the hadroproduction of $W^+W^-$ at $\mathcal{O}(\alpha_s^2)$, but, nevertheless, has a sizable impact on the total production rate. We find that the NLO QCD corrections to the $gg \to W^+W^-$ process amount to ${\cal O}(50)$%, and increase the NNLO QCD cross sections of $pp \to W^+W^-$ by approximately two percent, at both the 8 TeV and 13 TeV LHC. We also compute the NLO corrections to gluonic $W^+W^-$ production within a fiducial volume used by the ATLAS collaboration in their 8 TeV measurement of the $W^+W^-$ production rate and find that the QCD corrections are significantly smaller than in the inclusive case. While the current experimental uncertainties are still too large to make these differences relevant, the observed strong dependence of perturbative corrections on kinematic cuts underscores that extrapolation from a fiducial measurement to the total cross section is an extremely delicate matter, and calls for the direct comparison of fiducial volume measurements with corresponding theoretical computations.

After carefully reviewing current limits with particular attention to astrophysical uncertainties, we show prospects of the wino mass limit in future gamma-ray observation by the Fermi-LAT and the GAMMA-400 telescopes. We find that the improvement of the so-called $J$-factor of both the classical and the ultra-faint dSphs will play a crucial role to cover whole mass range of the wino dark matter. For example, with $\delta (\log_{10}J) = 0.1$ for both the classical and the ultra-faint dSphs, whole wino dark matter mass range can be covered by 15 years and 10 years data at the Fermi-LAT and GAMMA-400 telescopes, respectively.

Mass sum rules for meson multiplets derived from exotic commutators may be written for complex masses. Then the real parts give the well known mass formulae (GM-O, Schwinger, Ideal) and the imaginary ones give the corresponding sum rules for total hadronic widths. The masses and widths of the meson nonets submit to a definite orders. It thus follows that tables of the meson nonets should include information about masses, widths and the orders as well as the mixing angle. The width sum rule for the nonet complying with Schwinger mass formula may be depicted as a straight line in the $(m,\Gamma)$ plane. It is easily verifiable and satisfied better for high mass nonets.

Dalitz plot distributions of the expected effects are presented and compared to the contribution from the Standard Model final state interactions. We give an example of a phenomenologically viable model, where a considerable contribution to the transverse lepton polarization asymmetry arises.

Half a century of work on the light scalar mesons $f_0(500)$, $f_0(980)$, $K_0^\star(700)$, and $a_0(980)$ is briefly reviewed. After summarising all light scalar candidates in the Review of Particle Physics since 1963, a selection of different theoretical and phenomenological descriptions is presented, including pure meson-meson models, a tetraquark construction, unitarised quark-meson models, unitarised effective chiral approaches, and a very recent lattice-QCD simulation.

In light of the recent 750 GeV diphoton anomaly observed at the LHC, we study the possibility of accommodating the deviation from the standard model prediction based on the recently proposed Gauged Two Higgs Doublet Model. The model embeds two Higgs doublets into a doublet of a non-abelian gauge group $SU(2)_H$, while the standard model $SU(2)_L$ right-handed fermion singlets are paired up with new heavy fermions to form $SU(2)_H$ doublets, and $SU(2)_L$ left-handed fermion doublets are singlets under $SU(2)_H$. An $SU(2)_H$ scalar doublet, which provides masses to the new heavy fermions as well as the $SU(2)_H$ gauge bosons, can be produced via gluon fusion and subsequently decays into two photons with the new fermions circulating the triangle loops to account for the deviation from the standard model prediction.

It has been argued that the rapid decay of coherent color gauge fields generated immediately after high energy heavy ion collisions produces quark gluon plasma. But there are no convincing mechanisms for the rapid decay of the gauge fields which satisfy phenomenological constraints on their life time. We show by using classical statistical field theory that the production of magnetic monopoles cause the rapid decay of the gauge fields. The monopoles are unstable modes just like Nielsen-Olesen modes and are enormously produced by dual Schwinger mechanism.

We consider neutral pseudoscalar mesons in an entangled or Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen state with $C=-1$. Due to quantum entanglement and antisymmetry of this state, the rates of the joint decays of the meson pair display various interesting features, as is well known. As functions of CP and CPT violating parameters, here we obtain some exact results about the joint decay rates and their asymmetries for a given time difference defined for joint decays to flavor eigenstates, as well as those for joint decays to CP eigenstates. The entanglement allows a meaningful and useful definition of the transition amplitude from a CP eigenstate of a meson. These results yield useful information and criteria on CP and CPT violations.

The neutrino research program in the coming decades will require improved precision. A major source of uncertainty is the interaction of neutrinos with nuclei that serve as targets for such experiments. Broadly speaking, this interaction often depends, e.g., for charge-current quasi-elastic scattering, on the combination of ``nucleon physics", expressed by form factors, and ``nuclear physics", expressed by a nuclear model. It is important to get a good handle on both. We present a fully analytic implementation of the Correlated Fermi Gas Model for electron-nucleus and charge-current quasi-elastic neutrino-nucleus scattering. The implementation is used to compare separately form factors and nuclear model effects for both electron-carbon and neutrino-carbon scattering data.

The singular part of Borel transform of a QCD amplitude near the infrared renormalon can be expanded in terms of higher order Wilson coefficients of the operators associated with the renormalon. In this paper we observe that this expansion gives nontrivial constraints on the Borel amplitude that can be used to improve the accuracy of the ordinary perturbative expansion of the Borel amplitude. In particular, we consider the Borel transform of the Adler function and its expansion around the first infrared renormalon due to the gluon condensate. Using the next-to-leading order Wilson coefficient of the gluon condensate operator, we obtain an exact constraint on the Borel amplitude at the first IR renormalon. We then extrapolate, using judiciously chosen conformal transformations and Pade approximants, the ordinary perturbative expansion of the Borel amplitude in such a way that this constraint is satisfied. This procedure allows us to predict the $O(\alpha_s^4)$ coefficient of the Adler function, which gives a result consistent with the estimate by Kataev and Starshenko using a completely different method. We then apply this improved Borel amplitude to the tau decay width, and obtain the strong coupling constant $\alpha_s(M_Z) =0.1193 \pm 0.0007_{exp.} \pm 0.0010_{EW+CKM} \pm 0.0009_{meth.} \pm 0.0003_{evol.}$.

We calculate the Lamb, fine and hyperfine shifts in $b\bar b$ with $n=2$, $l=0,1$. Radiative corrections as well as leading nonperturbative corrections (known to be due to the gluon condensate) are taken into account. The calculation is parameter-free, as we take $\Lambda$, ${\langle \alpha_s G^2 \rangle}$ from independent sources. Agreement with experiment is found at the expected level $\sim 30\%$. Particularly interesting is a prediction for the hyperfine splitting, $M_{\rm average}(2^3P)-M(2^1P_1) = 1.7 \pm 0.9\, {\rm MeV}$, opposite in sign to the $c\bar c$ one ($\approx -0.9\, {\rm MeV}$), and where the nonzero value of ${\langle \alpha_s G^2 \rangle}$ plays a leading role.

It takes into account both Coulomb and strong ($\pi$-$\pi$~s-wave; I=2) final state interactions (FSI). We have found that inclusion of the strong interaction in addition to Coulomb correction affects significantly the extracted parameters of the BEC like the source size $R$, the degree of coherence $\lambda$ and the long-range correlation parameter $\gamma$. In particular, the $\lambda$ parameter of the BEC is increased by about 20\%. Our results differ from those obtained in $e^+e^-$ annihilation in the following way: the $\lambda$ parameter does not reach `chaotic limit' and the $\gamma$ parameter does not approach to zero.

We define a CP-asymmetric observable that is sensitive to CP-violating interactions in the gauge-boson sector. We illustrate the utility of this observable by studying how well the LHC can measure the coefficient of a particular dimension-six WWZ operator. We find that sensitivity at the 10^{-3} level is possible at the LHC with 100 fb^{-1} of integrated luminosity, which would greatly exceed the sensitivity achieved at LEP, and would rival or may even better the indirect sensitivities inferred from related operators constrained by electric dipole moment experiments.

Most models of inflation have small parameters, either to guarantee sufficient inflation or the correct magnitude of the density perturbations. In this paper we show that, in supersymmetric theories with weak scale supersymmetry breaking, one can construct viable inflationary models in which the requisite parameters appear naturally in the form of the ratio of mass scales that are already present in the theory. Successful inflationary models can be constructed from the flat-direction fields of a renormalizable supersymmetric potential, and such models can be realized even in the context of a simple GUT extension of the MSSM. We evade naive ``naturalness" arguments by allowing for more than one field to be relevant to inflation, as in ``hybrid inflation" models, and we argue that this is the most natural possibility if inflaton fields are to be associated with flat direction fields of a supersymmetric theory. Such models predict a very low Hubble constant during inflation, of order $10^3$-$10^4$ GeV, a scalar density perturbation index $n$ which is very close to or greater than unity, and negligible tensor perturbations. In addition, these models lead to a large spike in the density perturbation spectrum at short wavelengths.

Most models of inflation have small parameters, either to guarantee sufficient inflation or the correct magnitude of the density perturbations. In this paper we show that, in supersymmetric theories with weak scale supersymmetry breaking, one can construct viable inflationary models in which the requisite parameters appear naturally in the form of the ratio of mass scales that are already present in the theory. Successful inflationary models can be constructed from the flat-direction fields of a renormalizable supersymmetric potential, and such models can be realized even in the context of a simple GUT extension of the MSSM. We evade naive ``naturalness" arguments by allowing for more than one field to be relevant to inflation, as in ``hybrid inflation" models, and we argue that this is the most natural possibility if inflaton fields are to be associated with flat direction fields of a supersymmetric theory. Such models predict a very low Hubble constant during inflation, of order $10^3$-$10^4$ GeV, a scalar density perturbation index $n$ which is very close to or greater than unity, and negligible tensor perturbations. In addition, these models lead to a large spike in the density perturbation spectrum at short wavelengths.

The nonperturbative, Dyson-Schwinger equation approach to solving QCD provides a straightforward, microscopic description of dynamical chiral symmetry breaking and confinement. It is an ideal tool for the study of pion observables. This is illustrated via its application to the calculation of: the $\pi$-$\pi$ scattering lengths $a_0^0$, $a_0^2$, $a_1^1$, $a_2^0$, $a_2^2$ and associated partial wave amplitudes; the $\pi^0\rightarrow \gamma\gamma$ decay width; and the charged pion form factor, $F_\pi(q^2)$.

All the leading-twist parton distribution functions are calculated in a spectator model of the nucleon, using scalar and axial-vector diquarks. Single gluon rescattering is used to generate T-odd distribution functions. Different choices for the diquark polarization states are considered, as well as a few options for the form factor at the nucleon-quark-diquark vertex. The results are listed in analytic form and interpreted in terms of light-cone wave functions. The model parameters are fixed by reproducing the phenomenological parametrization of unpolarized and helicity parton distributions at the lowest available scale. Predictions for the other parton densities are given and, whenever possible, compared with available phenomenological parametrizations.

We investigate the potential of a flavor pure high gamma electron capture electron neutrino beam directed towards a large water cherenkov detector with 500 kt fiducial mass. The energy of the neutrinos is reconstructed by the position measurement within the detector and superb energy resolution capabilities could be achieved. We estimate the requirements for such a scenario to be competitive to a neutrino/anti-neutrino running at a neutrino factory with less accurate energy resolution. Although the requirements turn out to be extreme, in principle such a scenario could achieve as good abilities to resolve correlations and degeneracies in the search for sin^2(2 theta_13) and delta_CP as a standard neutrino factory experiment.

Production of charmed and beauty mesons and baryons in hadron-nucleon collisions at not very high energy is considered in the framework of the Quark-Gluon String Model. We take into account the possible corrections to the model which disappear at asymptotically high energies but could be important at comparatively low energies, essentially in the case of heavy flavour production. The case of nuclear targets is also considered and the $A$-dependence of charmed and beauty hadron yields is calculated. Predictions for the case of beauty hadron production at $\sqrt{s}$ = 39 GeV are presented.

We present an implementation of the so-called CKKW-L merging scheme for combining multi-jet tree-level matrix elements with parton showers. The implementation uses the transverse-momentum-ordered shower with interleaved multiple interactions as implemented in PYTHIA8. We validate our procedure using e+e--annihilation into jets and vector boson production in hadronic collisions, with special attention to details in the algorithm which are formally sub-leading in character, but may have visible effects in some observables. We find substantial merging scale dependencies induced by the enforced rapidity ordering in the default PYTHIA8 shower. If this rapidity ordering is removed the merging scale dependence is almost negligible. We then also find that the shower does a surprisingly good job of describing the hardness of multi-jet events, as long as the hardest couple of jets are given by the matrix elements. The effects of using interleaved multiple interactions as compared to more simplistic ways of adding underlying-event effects in vector boson production are shown to be negligible except in a few sensitive observables. To illustrate the generality of our implementation, we also give some example results from di-boson production and pure QCD jet production in hadronic collisions.

We perform a study of the LHC discovery reach on a heavy gluon (G*) and heavy fermions (top and bottom excitations), coming from a new composite sector. We find that heavy fermion resonances have a great impact on the composite gluon phenomenology. If the composite gluon is heavier than composite fermions, as flavor observables seem to suggest, the search in the channel where G* decays into a heavy fermion plus its Standard Model partner is very promising, with the possibility for both the G* and heavy fermions to be discovered at the early stage of the LHC. The channel offers also the possibility to extract important information on model parameters, such as the top degree of compositeness.

The Weinberg theorem, the Adler self consistency zero, the Goldberger and Treiman relation and the Gell-Mann Oakes and Renner relation are proved analytically in full detail for Quark Models. These proofs are independent of the particular quark-quark interaction, and they are displayed with Feynman diagrams in a compact notation. I assume the ladder truncation, which is natural in the Quark Model, and also detail the diagrams that must be included in each relation. Off mass shell and finite size effects are included in the quark-antiquark pion Bethe Salpeter vertices. The axial and vector Ward identities, for the quark propagator and for the ladder, exactly cancel any model dependence.

We present a study of the central exclusive production of the $K^{+} K^{-}$ pairs in proton-proton collisions at high energies. We consider diffractive mechanisms including the $K^{+} K^{-}$ continuum, the dominant scalar $f_{0}(980)$, $f_{0}(1500)$, $f_{0}(1710)$ and tensor $f_{2}(1270)$, $f'_{2}(1525)$ resonances decaying into the $K^{+} K^{-}$ pairs. We include also photoproduction mechanisms for the non-resonant (Drell-S\"{o}ding) and the $\phi(1020)$ resonance contributions. The theoretical results are calculated within the tensor-pomeron approach including both pomeron and reggeon exchanges. Predictions for planned or current experiments at RHIC and LHC are presented. We discuss the influence of the experimental cuts on the integrated cross section and on various differential distributions for outgoing particles. The distributions in two-kaon invariant mass, in a special `glueball filter variable', as well as examples of angular distributions in the $K^{+}K^{-}$ rest frame are presented. We compare the $\phi(1020)$ and continuum photoproduction contributions to the $f_{0}(980)$ and continuum diffractive contributions and discuss whether the $\phi(1020)$ resonance could be extracted experimentally. For the determination of some model parameters we also include a discussion of $K$-nucleon scattering, in particular total cross sections, and of $\phi(1020)$ photoproduction.

The standard implementation of the HRG model has been shown to be unable to describe all the available data on QCD matter. Here we show the balance of repulsive and attractive hadronic interactions on QCD thermodynamics through observables both calculated by lattice simulations and measured in experiment. Attractive interactions are mediated by resonance formation, which are here implemented through extra states predicted by the Quark Model, while repulsive interactions are modelled by means of Excluded Volume (EV) effects. Informations on flavour dependent effective sizes are extracted. It is found that EV effects are present in lattice QCD thermodynamics, and are essential for a comprehensive description of higher order fluctuations of conserved charges.

It has been suggested in Ref. [A. E. Bondar and V. L. Chernyak, Phys. Lett. B 612, 215 (2005)] that the disagreement between theoretical calculations and experimental observations for the rate for the process e+ e- -> J/psi + eta_c at the B factories might be resolved by using the light-cone method to take into account the relative momentum of the heavy-quark and antiquark in the quarkonia. The light-cone result for the production cross section in Ref. [A. E. Bondar and V. L. Chernyak, Phys. Lett. B 612, 215 (2005)] is almost an order of magnitude larger than existing NRQCD factorization results. We investigate this apparent theoretical discrepancy. We compute light-cone distribution functions by making use of quarkonium wave functions from the Cornell potential model. Our light-cone distribution functions are similar in shape to those of Ref. [A. E. Bondar and V. L. Chernyak, Phys. Lett. B 612, 215 (2005)] and yield a similar cross section. However, when we subtract parts of the light-cone distribution functions that correspond to corrections of relative-order alpha_s in the NRQCD approach, we find that the cross section decreases by about a factor of three. When we set certain renormalization factors Z_i in the light-cone calculation equal to unity, we find a further reduction in the cross section of about a factor of two. The resulting light-cone cross section is similar in magnitude to the NRQCD factorization cross sections and shows only a modest enhancement over the light-cone cross section in which the relative momentum of the heavy-quark and antiquark is neglected.

Light-Front Field Theory (LFFT) is a good candidate to describe bound states. In LFFT covariance is non-manifest. Burkardt and Langnau claim that, even for scattering amplitudes, rotational invariance is broken. We will take a different path of obtaining rules for light-front time-ordered diagrams. Covariance depends on the choice of a regulator $\alpha$. We need to apply some regularisation scheme to render physical amplitudes finite. This is done by applying minus regularisation. In this process all ambiguities related to the regulator $\alpha$ are removed. Therefore there is equivalence between the perturbative expansions of covariant and LFFT.

We study the bulk viscosity of strange quark matter (SQM) in a quasiparticle model at finite chemical potential by extrapolating the previous quasiparticle model of finite temperature lattice QCD. The more proper bulk viscosity coefficient can be given in this model where chemical potential $\mu$ and coupling constant $\emph{g}$ are interdependent. We also apply our result to determine the critical rotation of strange stars by r-mode instability window. Our model is compatible to the millisecond pulsar data for a wide range of mass and radius of the stars.

We examine the stability of minimal dark matter (MDM) particle-candidates in the setup in which they participate in radiative neutrino (R\nu) masses. We first point out the existence of an additional renormalizable term in recently proposed R\nuMDM Lagrangian, which violates the claimed accidental Z_2 symmetry and spoils the stability of the fermionic MDM quintuplet component. We then explore the viability of R$\nu$MDM variants based on scalar MDM multiplets. There are ubiquitous super-renormalizable terms in the scalar potential which make these scalar multiplets unstable.

In particular the parameters r_{-+}(r_{+-}) of B_{d}->rho \pi decays are obtained in terms of experimentally known decay rates R_{-+}(R_{+-})=frac{1}{2}left(Gamma_{rho ^{+}pi ^{-}(rho ^{-}pi ^{+})}+\ar{\amma}_{\ho ^{-}pi ^{+}(rho ^{+}pi ^{-})}), $ R_{-+}^{prime}(R_{+-}^{prime})=frac{1}{2}left(Gamma_{K^{*+}pi ^{-}(rho ^{-}K^{+})}+bar{Gamma}_{K^{*-}\pi ^{+}(rho ^{+}K^{-})}), known parameters bar{lambda}, f_{K^{*}}/f_{rho}(f_{K}/f_{pi}) and two parameters B_{-+}=frac{R_{-+}}{left| T^{-+}right| ^{2}},B_{+-}=frac{R_{+-}}{| T^{+-}| ^{2}} which are determined by using factorization for tree amplitudes T^{-+} and T^{+-}.

The production of the ${}^1P_1$ charmonium state, $h_c$, at large-$p_T$ at the Tevatron is considered. The colour-octet contributions to this state are found to be dominant and give a reasonably large rate for the production of $h_c$. This should make it feasible to look for this resonance in the $J/\psi +\pi$ decay channel. This production rate is a prediction of NRQCD, and the observation of the $h_c$ at the Tevatron can, therefore, be used as a test of the colour-octet predictions of NRQCD.

The presence of geometric scaling within the $p_T$ spectra of produced hadrons at high energy $pp$ collisions using small-$x$ $k_T$-factorization is investigated. It is proposed a phenomenological parameterization for the unintegrated gluon distribution in the scaling range which reproduces the features of the differential cross section both in the saturated and dilute perturbative QCD regimes. As the saturation scale acts as an effective regulator of the infrared region (IR), the extension of the model to quantities usually associated to soft physics is studied. The approach is applied to compute the average $p_T$ and the rapidity distribution of produced gluons at high energies.

The most recent measurement of the fine structure constant leads to a 2.4 $\sigma$ deviation in the electron anomalous magnetic moment $g_{e}$-2, while the muon anomalous magnetic moment $g_\mu$-2 has a long standing 3.7 $\sigma$ deviation in the opposite direction. We show that these deviations can be explained in a three-loop neutrino mass model based on an $E_6$ Grand Unified Theory. We also study the impact such a model can have on the anomalous events observed by the ANITA experiment and find an insufficient enhancement of the event rate.

The photoprodution of doubly heavy baryon ($\Xi_{cc},\Xi_{bb},\Xi_{bc}$) is investigated in the context of future high-energy and high-luminosity $e^+e^-$ colliders. The study incorporates two sources of initial photons, namely the LBS photon and the WWA photon. Alongside the direct photoproduction via the sub-process $\gamma+\gamma \rightarrow \Xi_{QQ^{'}} +\bar{Q}+\bar{Q^{'}}$ ($Q^{(')}=c,b$), the resolved photoproduction channels are specifically considered, encompassing the sub-processes $\gamma + g \rightarrow \Xi_{QQ^{'}} +\bar{Q}+\bar{Q^{'}}$, $g + g \rightarrow \Xi_{QQ^{'}} +\bar{Q}+\bar{Q^{'}}$, and $q + \bar{q} \rightarrow \Xi_{QQ^{'}} +\bar{Q}+\bar{Q^{'}}$ with $q=u,d,s$. Within the framework of non-relativistic QCD, two $(cc(bb))$-diquark configurations, ${}_{\bar{\textbf{3}}}[{}^3S_1]$ and ${}_{\textbf{6}}[{}^1S_0]$, and four $(bc)$-diquark configurations, $(bc)_{\bar{\textbf{3}}}[{}^3S_1]$, $(bc)_{\textbf{6}}[{}^1S_0]$, $(bc)_{\textbf{6}}[{}^3S_1]$ and $(bc)_{\bar{\textbf{3}}}[{}^1S_0]$, are considered in the calculations. Numerical results show that the single resolved photoproduction processes provide dominant contributions under certain collision configuration. At the future $e^+e^-$ colliders, the doubly heavy baryon generated via the photoproduction mechanism is promisingly observable and can be well studied.

We present a $q_T$-resummed calculation of diphoton production at order N$^3$LL$^\prime$+NNLO. To reach the primed level of accuracy we have implemented the recently published three-loop $\mathcal{O}(\alpha_s^3)$ virtual corrections in the $q\bar{q}$ channel and the three-loop transverse momentum dependent beam functions and combined them with the existing infrastructure of CuTe-MCFM, a code performing resummation at order N$^3$LL. While the primed predictions are parametrically not more accurate, one typically observes from lower orders and other processes that they are the dominant effect of the next order. We include in both the $q\bar{q}$ and loop-induced $gg$ channel the hard contributions consistently together at order $\alpha_s^3$ and find that the resummed $q\bar{q}$ channel without matching stabilizes indeed. Due to large matching corrections and large contributions and uncertainties from the $gg$ channel, the overall improvements are small though. We furthermore study the effect of hybrid-cone photon isolation and hard-scale choice on our fully matched results to describe the ATLAS 8 TeV data and find that the hybrid-cone isolation destroys agreement at small $q_T$.

The chargino pair production in $e^-e^-$ collisions with their subsequent decays are considered within SUSY models with R-parity violation and with lepton number non-conservation. The production process ($\sqrt{s}=1$ TeV) is predicted to be large in a wide range of both sneutrino and chargino masses. The influence of all virtual sneutrino states and their mixings with electrons are taken into account. Some specific situations are pointed out when significant suppressions of the cross section can take place. The chargino decays are discussed for either the chargino as LSP or the chargino as heavier sparticle. In both cases unique signals are possible with up to six charged fermions and without missing energy.

We present numerical simulations of the SU(2) Boltzmann-Vlasov equation including both hard elastic particle collisions and soft interactions mediated by classical Yang-Mills fields. We provide an estimate of the coupling of jets to a hot isotropic plasma, which is independent of infrared cutoffs. In addition, we investigate jet propagation in anisotropic plasmas, as created in heavy-ion collisions. The broadening of jets is found to be stronger along the beam line than in azimuth due to the creation of field configurations with B_t>E_t and E_z>B_z via plasma instabilities.

We provide an estimate of the coupling of jets to a hot isotropic plasma, which is independent of infrared cutoffs. In addition, we investigate jet propagation in anisotropic plasmas, as created in heavy-ion collisions. The broadening of jets is found to be stronger along the beam line than in azimuth due to the creation of field configurations with B_t>E_t and E_z>B_z via plasma instabilities.

We show how hybrid inflation can be successfully realized in a supersymmetric model with gauge group G_{PS}= SU(4)_c x SU(2)_L x SU(2)_R. By including a non-renormalizable superpotential term, we generate an inflationary valley along which G_{PS} is broken to the standard model gauge group. Thus, catastrophic production of the doubly charged magnetic monopoles, which are predicted by the model, cannot occur at the end of inflation. The results of the cosmic background explorer can be reproduced with natural values (of order 10^{-3}) of the relevant coupling constant, and symmetry breaking scale of G_{PS} close to 10^{16} GeV. The spectral index of density perturbations lies between unity and 0.9. Moreover, the mu-term is generated via a Peccei-Quinn symmetry and proton is practically stable. Baryogenesis in the universe takes place via leptogenesis. The low deuterium abundance constraint on the baryon asymmetry, the gravitino limit on the reheat temperature and the requirement of almost maximal mu neutrino - tau neutrino mixing from SuperKamiokande can be simultaneously met with mu-neutrino, tau-neutrino and heaviest Dirac neutrino masses determined from the large angle MSW resolution of the solar neutrino problem, the SuperKamiokande results and SU(4)_c symmetry respectively.

It is known that a keV scale sterile neutrino is a good warm dark matter candidate. We study how this possibility could be realized in the context of gauge extensions of the standard model. The na\"ive expectation leads to large thermal overproduction of sterile neutrinos in this setup. However, we find that it is possible to use out-of-equilibrium decay of the other right-handed neutrinos of the model to dilute the present density of the keV sterile neutrinos and achieve the observed dark matter density. We present the universal requirements that should be satisfied by the gauge extensions of the standard model, containing right-handed neutrinos, to be viable models of warm dark matter, and provide a simple example in the context of the left-right symmetric model.

Various strategies for extracting or constraining the weak phase gamma with controlled theoretical uncertainties are reviewed. Measurements of the rates for the hadronic decays B^+- -> pi K provide largely model-independent information on gamma. Hadronic uncertainties enter only at the level of nonfactorizable contributions to the decay amplitudes that are power-suppressed in Lambda/m_b and, simultaneously, violate SU(3) flavor symmetry or are doubly Cabibbo suppressed. In addition, these decays have a rich potential for probing physics beyond the Standard Model. Alternative proposals for learning gamma are also discussed briefly.

We consider collider signatures of the exceptional supersymmetric (SUSY) standard model (E6SSM). This E6 inspired SUSY model is based on the SM gauge group together with an extra U(1) gauge symmetry under which right--handed neutrinos have zero charge. To ensure anomaly cancellation and gauge coupling unification the low energy matter content of the E6SSM involve extra exotic matter beyond the MSSM. We discuss the collider signatures associated with the production of new particles predicted by the E6SSM and consider the implications of this model for dark matter and Higgs phenomenology. Since exotic quarks in the E6SSM can be either diquarks or leptoquarks they may provide spectacular new physics signals at the LHC.

We consider a scenario in which additional vectorlike TeV-scale fermions belonging to higher weak-isospin multiplets provide new seesaw mediators. If these fermions have non-zero hypercharge, their tree-level exchange produces novel seesaw mechanism different from type I and III seesaw. In order to produce Majorana masses for light neutrinos, new Dirac seesaw mediators are constrained by the SM gauge symmetry to belong to a weak triplet and a five-plet. The latter, in conjunction with two isospin 3/2 scalar multiplets, leads to new seesaw formula m_\nu ~ v^6/M^5. It reproduces the empirical masses m_\nu ~ 10^{-1} eV by M < TeV new states, testable at the LHC.

We calculate the scattering $T$-matrix of $I=0$ $\bar K N-\pi \Sigma$ coupled channels taking a ladder sum of the Weinberg-Tomozawa interaction without on-shell factorization, regularizing three types of divergent meson-baryon loop functions by dimensional regularization and renormalizing them by introducing counter terms. We show that not only infinite but also finite renormalization is important in order for the renormalized physical scattering $T$-matrix to have the form of the Weinberg-Tomozawa interaction. The results with and without on-shell factorization are compared. The difference of the scattering $T$-matrix is small near the renormalization point, close to the observed $\Lambda$(1405). The difference, however, increases with the distance from the renormalization point. The scattering $T$-matrix without on-shell factorization has two poles in the complex center-of-mass energy plane as with on-shell factorization, the real part of which is close to the observed $\Lambda$(1405). While the difference is small with and without on-shell factorization in the position of the first pole, closer to the observed $\Lambda$(1405), the difference is considerably large in the position of the second pole: the imaginary part of the center-of-mass energy of the second pole without on-shell factorization is as large as or even larger than twice that with on-shell factorization. Also, we discuss the origin of the contradiction about the second pole between two approaches, the chiral unitary approach with on-shell factorization and the phenomenological approach without on-shell factorization.

Calculations of sensitivities of future experiments are a necessary ingredient in experimental high energy physics. Especially in the context of measurements of the neutrino oscillation parameters extensive studies are performed to arrive at the optimal configuration. In this note we clarify the definition of sensitivity as often applied in these studies. In addition we examine two of the most common methods to calculate sensitivity from a statistical perspective using a toy model. The importance of inclusion of uncertainties in nuisance parameters for the interpretation of sensitivity calculations is pointed out.

We use soft-collinear effective theory (SCET) to study the factorization properties of deep inelastic scattering in the region of phase space where 1-x = O(Lambda_{QCD/Q}). By applying a regions analysis to loop diagrams in the Breit frame, we show that the appropriate version of SCET includes anti-hard-collinear, collinear, and soft-collinear fields. We find that the effects of the soft-collinear fields spoil perturbative factorization even at leading order in the 1/Q expansion.

In the era of radio astronomy, the high sensitivity of the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) could play a decisive role in the detection of new radio sources. In this work, we study the SKA sensitivity to the synchrotron radio emission expected by the annihilation of TeV DM candidate in the Draco dwarf spheroidal galaxy. On the one hand, we consider model-independent DM candidates: we find out that with 1000 hours of data-taking, SKA1-MID will be able to exclude up to 10 TeV thermal DM candidates that annihilate in $W^+W^-$ and $b\bar b$ channels. We also study as these constraints improve by including a density enhancement due to a DM-spike associated with an intermediate-mass black hole in Draco. On the other hand, we consider extra-dimensional brane-world DM candidates, dubbed branons. In this specific scenario, SKA allows us to set constraints on the branon parameter space ($f$,$M$), where $f$ is related to the coupling of the branon to the Standard Model particles and $M$ is the mass of the branon itself. In particular, we consider two different branon DM candidates. We find out that SKA will be able to set more stringent constraints on the branon DM candidate required in order to fit the AMS-02 data, yet the sensitivity of the instrument should be improved in order to study the branon candidate for the Galactic Centre. Nonetheless, we show that SKA represents - among other detectors - the most promising instrument for multi-wavelength detection of synchrotron radio emission by annihilating multi-TeV DM.

High orders in perturbation theory can be calculated by the Lipatov method. For most field theories, the Lipatov asymptotics has the functional form c a^N \Gamma(N+b) (N is the order of perturbation theory); relative corrections to this asymptotics have the form of a power series in 1/N. The coefficients of high order terms of this series can be calculated using a procedure analogous to the Lipatov approach and are determined by the second instanton in the considered field theory. These coefficients are calculated quantitatively for the n-component \phi^4 theory under the assumption that the second instanton is (i) a combination of two elementary instantons and (ii) a spherically asymmetric localized function. The technique of two-instanton calculations is developed, as well as the method for integrating over rotations of an asymmetric instanton in the coordinate state.

We develop the modification of the top - quark condensation scenario, in which the Higgs boson is composed of all Standard Model fermions. Within this scenario we suggest the phenomenological model with non - local four - fermion interactions in which at the distances of the order of $\sim 1/100$ GeV the theory is represented in terms of only one Majorana spinor that carries the $U(12)$ index and, in addition, belongs to the spinor representation of $O(4)$. The Standard Model fermions are the components of this spinor. The symmetry $U(12)\otimes O(4)$ is responsible for the one - loop relation between the Higgs boson mass and the top quark mass $M_H^2 = m_t^2/2$. At the distances $\gg 1/100$ GeV the mentioned symmetry is broken, and the interaction term dominates that provides the nonzero mass of the top quark. Our phenomenological model should be considered in zeta or dimensional regularization. In conventional cutoff regularization this is equivalent to the existence of the additional counter - terms that cancel all quadratic divergences. As a result the $1/N$ expansion may be applied.

The issue of the contribution of zero-modes to the light-front projection of the electromagnetic current of phenomenological models of vector particles vertices is addressed in the Drell-Yan frame. Our analytical model of the Bethe-Salpeter amplitude of a spin-1 fermion-antifermion composite state gives a physically motivated light-front wave function symmetric by the exchange of the fermion and antifermion, as in the $\rho$-meson case. We found that among the four independent matrix elements of the plus component in the light-front helicity basis only the $0\to 0$ one carries zero mode contributions. Our derivation generalizes to symmetric models, important for applications, the above conclusion found for a simplified non-symmetrical form of the spin-1 Bethe-Salpeter amplitude with photon-fermion point-like coupling and also for a smeared fermion-photon vertex model.

This talk includes a short introduction to Chiral Perturbation Theory in the meson sector concentrating on a number of recent developments. I discuss the latest fit of the low-energy constants. Finite volume corrections are discussed for the case with twisted boundary conditions for form-factors and first results at two-loops for three flavours for masses. The last part discusses the extension to other symmetry breaking patterns relevant for technicolour and related theories as well as the calculation of leading logarithms to high loop orders.

We apply the QCD sum rule method to systematically study the $S$- and $P$-wave fully-strange tetraquark states within the diquark-antidiquark picture. We systematically construct their interpolating currents by explicitly adding the covariant derivative operator. Our results suggest that the $f_0(2100)$, $X(2063)$, and $f_2(2010)$ may be explained as the $S$-wave $s s \bar s \bar s$ tetraquark states with the quantum numbers $J^{PC} = 0^{++}$, $1^{+-}$, and $2^{++}$, respectively. Our results also suggest that both the $X(2370)$ and $X(2500)$ may be explained as the $P$-wave $s s \bar s \bar s$ tetraquark states of $J^{PC} = 0^{-+}$, and both the $\phi(2170)$ and $X(2400)$ may be explained as the $P$-wave $s s \bar s \bar s$ tetraquark states of $J^{PC} = 1^{--}$. The masses of the $s s \bar s \bar s$ tetraquark states with the exotic quantum number $J^{PC} = 1^{-+}$ are extracted from two non-correlated currents to be $2.45^{+0.20}_{-0.25}$ GeV and $2.49^{+0.21}_{-0.25}$ GeV.

We study chemical equilibration in out-of-equilibrium Quark-Gluon Plasma using the first principles method of QCD effective kinetic theory, accurate at weak coupling. In longitudinally expanding systems--relevant for relativistic nuclear collisions--we find that for realistic couplings chemical equilibration takes place after hydrodynamization, but well before local thermalization. We estimate that hadronic collisions with final state multiplicities ${dN_\text{ch}}/{d\eta}\gtrsim 10^2$ live long enough to reach approximate chemical equilibrium, which is consistent with the saturation of strangeness enhancement observed in proton-proton, proton-nucleus and nucleus-nucleus collisions.

In the production of very heavy final states - high Mandelstam s-hat - extra QCD radiation can play a significant role. By comparing several different parton shower approximations to results obtained with fixed-order perturbation theory, we quantify the degree to which these approaches agree (or disagree), focussing on initial state radiation above pT = 50 GeV, for top pair production at the Tevatron and at the LHC, and for SUSY pair production at the LHC. Special attention is paid to ambiguities associated with the choice of the maximum value of the ordering variable in parton shower models.

We show that the colour-singlet contributions to the hadroproduction of J/psi in association with a W boson are sizable, if not dominant over the colour-octet contributions. They are of two kinds, sg -> J/psi + c + W at alpha^3_S alpha and q q'-bar -> gamma*/Z* W -> J/psi W at order alpha^3. These have not been considered in the literature until now. Our conclusion is that the hadroproduction of a J/psi in association with a W boson cannot be claimed as a clean probe of the colour-octet mechanism. The rate are small even at the LHC and it will be very delicate to disentangle the colour-octet contributions from the sizable colour-singlet ones and from the possibly large double-parton-scattering contributions. During this analysis, we have also noted that, for reactions such as the production of a J/psi by light quark-antiquark fusion, the colour-singlet contribution via an off-shell photon is of the order of the expectation from the colour-octet contribution via an off-shell gluon. This is relevant for inclusive production at low energies close to the threshold. Such an observation also likely extends to other processes naturally involving light-quark annihilation.

Several neutrino experiments have reported results that are potentially inconsistent with our current understanding of the lepton sector. A candidate solution to these so-called short-baseline anomalies is postulating the existence of new, eV-scale, mostly sterile neutrinos that mix with the active neutrinos. This hypothesis, however, is strongly disfavored once one considers all neutrino data, especially those that constrain the disappearance of muon and electron neutrinos at short-baselines. Here, we show that if the sterile-active mixing parameters depend on the energy-scales that characterize neutrino production and detection, the sterile-neutrino hypothesis may provide a reasonable fit to all neutrino data. The reason for the improved fit is that the stringent disappearance constraints on the different elements of the extended neutrino mixing matrix are associated to production and detection energy scales that are different from those that characterize the anomalous LSND and MiniBooNE appearance data. We show, via a concrete example, that secret interactions among the sterile neutrinos can lead to the results of interest.

The amplitudes are obtained by analytic continuation of the known helicity amplitudes for $e^+e^- \to q\bar q g$. We separate the infrared divergent and finite parts of the amplitudes using Catani's infrared factorization formula. The analytic results for the finite parts of the amplitudes are expressed in terms of one- and two-dimensional harmonic polylogarithms. To evaluate these functions numerically, we list in detail the non-trivial (and kinematic region dependent) variable transformations one needs to perform.

The use of extra dimensional scenarios as models for neutrino mass affects many low energy observables. We consider the implications of virtual bulk neutrinos in precision experiments of the anomalous magnetic moments of the muon and the electron. We consider neutrino models in factorizable geometry of the type M_4 x T as well as the sliced AdS_5 non-factorizable geometry. In both geometries we find finite contributions to g-2 after summing over the KK excitations of the bulk neutrinos. In the case of Randall-Sundrum geometry, we find that the muon experiment is approaching the precision necessary to probe these models.

We present our results using a basis of two, three and four point integrals, some of them not known previously in the literature. These integrals are evaluated in arbitrary space-time dimensions so that we reproduce results derived earlier under certain limits.

Maximally supersymmetric SO(10) and SU(6) unified theories are constructed on the orbifold T^2/(Z_2 x Z'_2), with one length scale R_5 taken much larger than the other, R_6. The effective theory below 1/R_6 is found to be the highly successful SU(5) theory in 5D with natural doublet-triplet splitting, no proton decay from operators of dimension four or five, unified mass relations for heavier generations only, and a precise prediction for gauge coupling unification. A more unified gauge symmetry, and the possibility of Higgs doublets being components of the higher dimensional gauge multiplet, are therefore compatible with a large energy interval where physics is described by SU(5) gauge symmetry in 5D. This leads to the distinctive branching ratios for proton decay from SU(5) gauge boson exchange, p -> l^+ pi^0, l^+ K^0, \bar{nu} pi^+, \bar{nu} K^+ (l = e, mu), for well-motivated locations for matter. Several phenomenological features of the higher unified gauge symmetry are discussed, including the role of an extra U(1) gauge symmetry, which survives compactification, in the generation of neutrino masses.

The perturbative series used to extract $\alpha_s(M_\tau)$ from the $\tau$ hadronic width exhibits slow convergence. Asymptotic Pade-approximant and Pade summation techniques provide an estimate of these unknown higher-order effects, leading to values for $\alpha_s(M_\tau)$ that are about 10% smaller than current estimates. Such a reduction improves the agreement of $\alpha_s(M_\tau)$ with the QCD evolution of the strong coupling constant from $\alpha_s(M_z)$.

Much has been learned about metastable vacua and R-symmetry breaking in O'Raifeartaigh models. Such work has largely been done from the perspective of the superpotential and by including Coleman-Weinberg corrections to the scalar potential. Instead, we consider these ideas from the perspective of the one loop effective Kahler potential. We translate known ideas to this framework and construct convenient formulas for computing individual terms in the expanded effective Kahler potential. We do so for arbitrary R-charge assignments and allow for small R-symmetry violating terms so that both spontaneous and explicit R-symmetry breaking is allowed in our analysis.

By means of an explicit one-loop calculation, it is shown that the leading twist contribution to the exclusive electroproduction of transversely polarized vector mesons from the nucleon vanishes. This confirms the all-orders proof by Collins and Diehl.

Three extensions of the scalar sector of the Standard Model are considered: one extra isosinglet, one extra isotriplet, two extra isotriplets (the Georgi-Machacek model). Double Higgs boson production cross section is calculated in all these extensions. Bounds from electroweak precision observables, signal strength measurements and custodial symmetry violation are estimated.

We investigate the thermodynamics of two-flavor quark matter in presence of nonzero isospin chemical potential and external magnetic field. It is known that at sufficiently high isospin chemical potential, charged pions undergo Bose-Einstein condensation (BEC). The condensate behaves as a superconductor, exhibiting Meissner effect in weak external magnetic fields. Stronger fields stress the superconducting state, turning it first into an Abrikosov lattice of vortices, and eventually destroying the condensate altogether. On the other hand, for sufficiently strong magnetic fields and low-to-moderate isospin chemical potential, the ground state of quantum chromodynamics (QCD) is expected to be a spatially modulated condensate of neutral pions, induced by the chiral anomaly: the chiral soliton lattice (CSL). We map the phase diagram of QCD as a function of isospin chemical potential and magnetic field in the part of the parameter space accessible to a low-energy effective field theory description of QCD. Our main result is an explicit account of the competition between the CSL and the Abrikosov vortex lattice. This is accomplished by adopting a fast numerical algorithm for finding the vortex lattice solution of the equation of motion and the corresponding Gibbs energy. We find that the Abrikosov vortex lattice phase persists in the phase diagram, separating the uniform charged pion BEC phase from the CSL phase. The precise layout of the phase diagram depends sensitively on the choice of the vacuum pion mass.

A formalism to evaluate the Sivers function, developed for calculations in constituent quark models, is applied to the Isgur-Karl model. A non-vanishing Sivers asymmetry, with opposite signs for the u and d flavor, is found; the Burkardt sum rule is fulfilled up to 2 %. Nuclear effects in the extraction of neutron single spin asymmetries in semi-inclusive deep inelastic scattering off 3He are also evaluated. In the kinematics of JLab, it is found that the nuclear effects described by an Impulse Approximation approach are under control.

Self-similarity based model of proton structure function at small \textit{x} was reported in the literature sometime back. The phenomenological validity of the model is in the kinematical region $ 6.2\, \times \, 10^{-7} \leq x \leq 10^{-2}$ and $ 0.045 \leq Q^{2} \leq 120 \, \mathrm{GeV^{2}} $. We use momentum sum rule to pin down the corresponding self-similarity based gluon distribution function valid in the same kinematical region. The model is then used to compute bound on the longitudinal structure function $F_{L}\left(x,Q^{2} \right)$ for Altarelli-Martinelli equation in QCD and is compared with the recent HERA data.
