A 100 TeV proton-proton collider will be an extremely effective way to probe the electroweak sector of the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM). In this paper, we describe a search strategy for discovering pair-produced Higgsino-like next-to-lightest supersymmetric particles (NLSPs) at a 100 TeV hadron collider that decay to Bino-like lightest supersymmetric particle (LSP) via intermediate Z and SM Higgs boson that in turn decay to a pair of leptons and a pair of b-quarks respectively: $\widetilde{N}_2^0\widetilde{N}_3^0 \rightarrow (Z\widetilde{N}_1^0)(h\widetilde{N}_1^0)\rightarrow bb\ell\ell+\widetilde{N}_1^0\widetilde{N}_1^0$. In addition, we examine the potential for machine learning techniques to boost the power of our searches. Using this analysis, Higgsinos up to 1.4 TeV can be discovered at $5\sigma$ level for a Bino with mass of about 0.9 TeV using 3000 fb$^{-1}$ of data. Additionally, Higgsinos up to 1.8 TeV can be excluded at 95% C.L. for Binos with mass of about 1.4 TeV. This search channel extends the multi-lepton search limits, especially in the region where the mass difference between the Higgsino NLSPs and the Bino LSP is small.

Measurements of $\alpha_s$, the coupling strength of the Strong Interaction between quarks and gluons, are summarised and an updated value of the world average of $\alpha_s (M_Z)$ is derived. Building up on previous reviews, special emphasis is laid on the most recent determinations of $\alpha_s$. These are obtained from $\tau$-decays, from global fits of electroweak precision data and from measurements of the proton structure function $\F_2$, which are based on perturbative QCD calculations up to $O(\alpha_s^4)$; from hadronic event shapes and jet production in $\epem$ annihilation, based on $O(\alpha_s^3) $ QCD; from jet production in deep inelastic scattering and from $\Upsilon$ decays, based on $O(\alpha_s^2) $ QCD; and from heavy quarkonia based on unquenched QCD lattice calculations. Applying pragmatic methods to deal with possibly underestimated errors and/or unknown correlations, the world average value of $\alpha_s (M_Z)$ results in $\alpha_s (M_Z) = 0.1184 \pm 0.0007$. The measured values of $\alpha_s (Q)$, covering energy scales from $Q \equiv \mtau = 1.78$ GeV to 209 GeV, exactly follow the energy dependence predicted by QCD and therefore significantly test the concept af Asymptotic Freedom.

The extrapolation of the decay amplitudes of the pseudoscalar mesons into two photons from the soft meson limit where it is obtained from the axial-anomaly to the mass shell involves the contribution of the 0^ - continuum. These chiral symmetry breaking corrections turn out to be large. The effects of these corrections on the calculated pi ^0 decay rate, on the values of the singlet-octet mixing angle and on the ratios f_8 / f_pi and f_0 / f_pi are discussed. The implications for the transition form factors gamma gamma* --> pseudoscalars are also evaluated and confronted with the available experimental data.

The nonrelativistic Hamiltonians of scalar, spinor and vector particles in the electromagnetic field are studied by applying the Douglas-Kroll-Hess approach. Their relativistic Hamiltonians are expanded on the potential, and the Hamiltonians containing one- and two-photon potentials are derived. The nonrelativistic Hamiltonians up to $m\alpha^8$ order are obtained by applying Taylor expansion on momentum, and the result of spin-1/2 spinor is coincided with the result obtained by applying scattering matching approach in the Ref.~[Phys. Rev. A {\bf 100}, 012513 (2019)]. Then, the singularities in Hamiltonian of Coulomb systems are separated out and cancelled. The regularized Hamiltonian up to $m\alpha^8$ order for scaler and electron in Coulomb field are obtained. The numerical results of relativistic corrections are coincided with the relativistic theory. The regularized Hamiltonian up to $m\alpha^6$ for multi-electrons in Coulomb field are also derived.

The effects of meson loops in the vacuum sector of the Nambu--Jona-Lasinio model are calculated. Using the effective action formalism we take consistently all next-to-leading-order $1 \over \Nc$ terms into account. This leads to a symmetry-conserving approach, in which all features of spontaneously broken chiral symmetry, such as the Goldstone theorem, the Gold\-ber\-ger--Treiman and the Gell-Mann--Oakes--Renner relations are preserved. Contributions to $\langle \overline{q}q \rangle$ and $F_\pi$ are calculated, and are shown to be substantial, at the level of $\sim 30\%$, consistent with the $1 \over \Nc$ expansion. The leading nonanalytic terms in the chiral expansion of $\langle \overline{q}q \rangle$, $F_\pi$ and $m_\pi$ agree have the same form as the one-loop results of chiral perturbation theory.

We study a dark matter (DM) model offering a very natural explanation of two (naively unrelated) problems in cosmology: the observed relation $\Omega_{\rm DM}\sim\Omega_{\rm visible}$ and the observed asymmetry between matter and antimatter in the Universe, known as the "baryogenesis" problem. In this framework, both types of matter (dark and visible) have the same QCD origin, form at the same QCD epoch, and both proportional to one and the same dimensional parameter of the system, $\Lambda_{\rm QCD}$, which explains how these two, naively distinct, problems could be intimately related, and could be solved simultaneously within the same framework. More specifically, the DM in this model is composed by two different ingredients: the (well- studied) DM axions and (less-studied) the quark nuggets made of matter or antimatter. The focus of the present work is the quantitative analysis of the relation between these two distinct components contributing to the dark sector of the theory determined by $\Omega_{\rm DM}\equiv [\Omega_{\rm DM}(\rm nuggets)+ \Omega_{\rm DM}(\rm axion)]$. We argue that the nugget's DM component always traces the visible matter density, i.e. $\Omega_{\rm DM}(\rm nuggets)\sim\Omega_{\rm visible}$ and this feature is not sensitive to the parameters of the system such as the axion mass $m_a$ or the misalignment angle $\theta_0$. It should be contrasted with conventional axion production mechanism due to the misalignment when $\Omega_{\rm DM}(\rm axion)$ is highly sensitive to the axion mass $m_a$ and the initial misalignment angle $\theta_0$. We also discuss the constraints on this model related to the inflationary scale $H_I$, non-observation of the isocurvature perturbations, $r_T < 0.12$, and also, varies axions search experiments.

The energy-dependence of charged particle mean multiplicity and pseudorapidity density at midrapidity measured in nucleus-nucleus and (anti)proton-proton collisions are studied in the entire available energy range. The study is performed using a model, which considers the multiparticle production process according to the dissipating energy of the participants and their types, namely a combination of the constituent quark picture together with Landau relativistic hydrodynamics. The model reveals interrelations between the variables under study measured in nucleus-nucleus and nucleon-nucleon collisions. Measurements in nuclear reactions are shown to be well reproduced by the measurements in (anti)proton-proton interactions common and the corresponding fits are presented. Different observations in other types of collisions are discussed in the framework of the proposed model. Predictions are made for measurements at the forthcoming LHC energies.

QCD sum rules are used to estimate the flavour SU(3)-symmetry violation in two-body B decays to pions and kaons. In the factorizable amplitudes the SU(3)-violation manifests itself in the ratio of the decay constants f_K/f_pi and in the differences between the B->K, B_s->K and B->pi form factors. These effects are calculated from the QCD two-point and light-cone sum rules, respectively, in terms of the strange quark mass and the ratio of the strange and nonstrange quark-condensate densities. Importantly, QCD sum rules predict that SU(3) breaking in the heavy-to-light form factors can be substantial and does not vanish in the heavy-quark mass limit. Furthermore, we investigate the strange-quark mass dependence of nonfactorizable effects in the B->K pi decay amplitudes. Taking into account these effects we estimate the accuracy of several SU(3)-symmetry relations between charmless B-decay amplitudes.

We find Z_N symmetries with N = 3, 6 in the anomaly-free case or N = 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24 in the case of anomaly cancellation through the Green-Schwartz mechanism.

In this work we carry out an exhaustive study to find quark mass matrices in the Standard Model~(SM), with the maximum number of texture zeros consistent with the experimental data. We found four viable configurations of five texture zeros that adjust the quark masses, the mixing angles and the CP violation phase, with deviations below $1\sigma$ level respect to the current SM best fit values. One of the most important aspects of this work is an economic procedure to find the texture zeros: we resort to the weak basis transformation method, which, as we will show, exhaustively search every possible configuration. We report various leading order relations between the mixing angles and the quark masses for each case.

We examine the possibility that the xi(2230) meson is a member of the Pomeron trajectory. A method of connecting the xi --> p pbar decay width and the pp cross sections through the Pomeron residue function is presented. We have used a relativistic, singularity-free form factor to make the analytic continuation of the residue function between crossed channels. We predict that if the xi(2230) meson is a Pomeron, then it should have a xi --> p pbar decay width of about 2 MeV.

We report on recent theory progress in understanding the production of heavy quarkonium in heavy-ion collisions based on the in-medium heavy-quark potential extracted from lattice QCD simulations. On the one hand, the proper in-medium potential allows us to study the spectral properties of heavy quarkonium in thermal equilibrium, from which we estimate the $\psi^\prime$ to $J/\psi$ ratio in heavy-ion collisions. On the other hand, the potential provides a central ingredient in the description of the real-time evolution of heavy-quarkonium formulated in the open-quantum-systems framework.

The simplest unified extension of the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model with bi-linear R-parity violation naturally predicts a hierarchical neutrino mass spectrum, suitable to explain atmospheric and solar neutrino fluxes. We study whether the individual violation of the lepton numbers L_{e,mu,tau} in the charged sector can lead to measurable rates for BR(mu->e gamma)and $BR(tau-> mu gamma). We find that some of the R-parity violating terms that are compatible with the observed atmospheric neutrino oscillations could lead to rates for mu->e gamma measurable in projected experiments. However, the Delta m^2_{12} obtained for those parameters is too high to be compatible with the solar neutrino data, excluding therefore the possibility of having measurable rates for mu->e gamma in the model.

We present the calculation of the impact factor for the $\gamma^{(*)}\to q\bar{q}$ transition with one loop accuracy in arbitrary kinematics. The calculation was done within Balitsky's high energy operator expansion. Together with our previous result for the $\gamma^{(*)}\to q\bar{q} g$ Born impact factor it allows one to derive cross-sections for 2- (one loop) and 3-jet (Born) difractive electroproduction. We write such cross sections for the 2 and 3 jet exclusive diffractive electroproduction off a proton in terms of hadronic matrix elements of Wilson lines. For the 2-jet cross section we demonstrate the cancellation of IR, collinear and rapidity singularities. Our result can be directly exploited to describe the recently analyzed data on exclusive dijet production at HERA and used for the study of jet photoproduction in ultraperipheral proton or nuclear scattering.

It is well known that in single step breaking of R-parity conserving SUSY SO(10) that needs the Higgs representations $126+\bar 126$ the GUT-gauge coupling violates the perturbative constraint at mass scales few times larger than the GUT scale. Therefore, if the SO(10) gauge coupling is to remain perturbative up the Planck scale(=2x10^{18} GeV), the scale $M_U$ of GUT symmetry breaking is to be bounded from below. The bound depends upon specific Higgs representations used for SO(10) symmetry breaking but, as we find, can not be lower than $1.5x10^{17}$ GeV. In order to obtain such high unification scale we propose a two-step SO(10) breaking through $SU(2)_LXSU(2)_RXU(1)_{B-L}XSU(3)_C(g_{2L} \neq g_{2R})$ intermediate gauge symmetry. We estimate potential threshold and gravitational corrections to the running of gauge couplings and show that they can make the picture of perturbative GUT- gauge coupling running consistent at least up to the Planck scale. We also show that when $SO(10) \to G_{2213}$ by $210 + 54$, gravitational corrections alone with negligible threshold effects may guarantee such perturbative gauge coupling. The lifetime of the proton is found to increase by nearly 6 orders over the current experimental limit for $p \to e^+\pi^0$. For the proton decay mediated by dim.5 operator a wide range of lifetimes is possible extending from the current experimental limit up to values 2-3 orders longer.

In this study, we present several improvements of the non-relativistic Friedrichs-Lee model with multiple discrete and continuous states and still retain its solvability. Our findings establish a solid theoretical basis for the exploration of resonance phenomena in scenarios involving the presence of multiple interfering states across various channels. The scattering amplitudes associated with the continuous states naturally adhere to coupled-channel unitarity, rendering this framework particularly valuable for investigating hadronic resonant states appearing in multiple coupled channels. Moreover, this generalized framework exhibits a wide-range applicability, enabling investigations into resonance phenomena across diverse physical domains, including hadron physics, nuclear physics, optics, and cold atom physics, among others.

Neutrino and anti-neutrino states coming from the neutral current or $Z_0$ decay are blind with respect to the flavor. The neutrino oscillation is observed and formulated when its flavor is known. However, it has been shown that we can see neutrino oscillation pattern for $Z_0$ decay neutrinos provided that both neutrino and anti-neutrino are detected. In this paper, we restudy this oscillation via quantum field theory approach. Through this approach, we find that the oscillation pattern ceases if the distance between the detectors is larger than the coherence length, while both neutrino and antineutrino states may be coherent. Also the uncertainty of source (region of $Z_0$ decay) does not have any role in the coherency of neutrino and antineutrino.

We calculate the toroidal quadrupole moment and form factor of the deuteron, which violate time-reversal symmetry but conserve parity, at leading order in two-flavor chiral effective field theory with perturbative pion exchange. We take into account time-reversal and parity violation due to the QCD vacuum angle combined with parity violation resulting from the weak interaction in the Standard Model. We also consider time-reversal and parity violation that at the quark-gluon level results from effective dimension-six operators originating from physics beyond the Standard Model.

Classical perturbation theory is used to construct periodic time-dependent solutions in the neighborhood of the static sphaleron. The behavior of the action, as a function of period, changes character depending on the value of the Higgs mass. The required pattern of bifurcations of solutions as a function of Higgs mass is examined, and implications for the temperature dependence of the baryon number violation rate in the Standard Model are discussed.

In particular, we show that the universality of the functional form -- regardless of the nature of the internal particle -- still holds at this order. We also present an algorithmic way to renormalise two-loop amplitudes, by locally cancelling the ultraviolet singularities at integrand level, thus allowing a full four-dimensional numerical implementation of the method. Our results are compared with analytic expressions already available in the literature, finding a perfect numerical agreement. The success of this computation plays a crucial role for the development of a fully local four-dimensional framework to compute physical observables at Next-to-Next-to Leading order and beyond.

We study thermalization by applying gradient expansion to the Kadanoff-Baym equations of the 2PI effective action to two-loop in a theory with Dirac fermions coupled to scalars. In addition to those chemical potentials which equilibrate in the on-shell limit, we identify modes which are conserved in this approximation, but which relax when off-shell effects are taken into account. This implies that chemical equilibration does not require higher loop contributions to the effective action and is compatible with the gradient expansion. We explicitly calculate the damping time-scales of both, on- and off-shell, chemical equilibration rates. It is shown that off-shell equilibration is suppressed by the thermal width of the particles in the plasma, which explains the separation of on- and off-shell chemical equilibration time-scales.

We study the dimensionally regularized fermion propagator Dyson-Schwinger equation in quenched nonperturbative QED. We work in arbitrary covariant gauge and perform nonperturbative renormalization numerically. The nonperturbative fermion propagator is solved in D = 4 - 2 * epsilon dimensional Euclidean space for a large number of values of epsilon. Results for D=4 dimensions are then obtained by extrapolation to epsilon = 0. Here we present results using the Curtis-Penningon fermion-photon proper vertex for two values of the coupling, namely alpha=0.6 and alpha=1.5, and compare these to previous studies employing a modified ultraviolet cut-off regularization. The results using the two different regularizations are found to agree to within the numerical precision of the present calculations.

We study the dimensionally regularized fermion propagator Dyson-Schwinger equation in quenched nonperturbative QED. We work in arbitrary covariant gauge and perform nonperturbative renormalization numerically. The nonperturbative fermion propagator is solved in D = 4 - 2 * epsilon dimensional Euclidean space for a large number of values of epsilon. Results for D=4 dimensions are then obtained by extrapolation to epsilon = 0. Here we present results using the Curtis-Penningon fermion-photon proper vertex for two values of the coupling, namely alpha=0.6 and alpha=1.5, and compare these to previous studies employing a modified ultraviolet cut-off regularization. The results using the two different regularizations are found to agree to within the numerical precision of the present calculations.

Supersymmetric extensions of the Standard Model generally give a theoretical upper limit on the lightest Higgs boson mass which may be uncomfortably close to the current experimental lower bound of $m_h$ > 114 GeV. Here we show ways in which this upper limit on $m_h$ can be relaxed substantially in the perturbative regime, while maintaining the successful unification of gauge couplings as observed in the minimal scenario. A class of models is presented, which includes new vector-like matter with the quantum numbers of the 5, 5-bar and singlet representations of SU(5) and having Yukawa couplings (\kappa) to the usual Higgs doublet $H_u$. This new matter transforms non-trivially under a "lateral" SU(N) gauge symmetry, which enables the new Yukawa couplings \kappa to be sizable, even larger than the top-quark Yukawa coupling, and still be perturbative at all momenta up to the unification scale of 10^{16} GeV. We find that, consistent with low energy constraints, $m_h$ can be raised to values as large as 200 - 300 GeV.

Neutral mesons exhibit a phenomenon called flavour mixing. As a consequence of a second order weak process the flavour eigenstates corresponding to the meson and its anti-meson are superpositions of two mass eigenstates. A meson produced in a flavour state changes into an anti-meson and back again as a function of time. Such flavour oscillations are considered sensitive probes of physics beyond the Standard Model. In this brief review I summarize the status of experimental constraints on mixing parameters in the B_s meson system.

To evaluate the weak decays of b-hadrons, the $\Delta B=1$ weak effective Lagrangian is the foundation. Any new physics beyond the standard model (SM) would contribute to the effective Lagrangian through the loop integration at the weak scale and evolution from the weak scale down to the hadronic scale. In this work we present a systematic analysis on the effective Lagrangian which mediates hadronic $|\Delta B|=1$ processes in the framework of the minimal flavor violation supersymmetry as well as a numerical evaluation of the Wilson coefficients in the effective theory.

We present a calculation of the masses of the isovector mesons ( vector, scalar and pseudoscalar including the established recurrences) using a new method of finite energy QCD sum rules. The method is based on the idea of choosing a suitable integration kernel which minimizes the occurring integral over the cut in the complex energy (squared) plane. We obtain remarkably stable results in a wide range R, where R is the radius of the integration contour. The sum rule predictions agree with the experimental values within the expected accuracy showing that QCD describes single resonances.

New dynamics from hidden sectors may manifest as long-range forces between visible matter particles. The well-known case of Yukawa-like potentials occurs via the exchange of a single virtual particle. However, more exotic behavior is also possible. We present three classes of exotic potentials that are generated by relativistic theories: (i) quantum forces from the loop-level exchange of two virtual particles, (ii) conformal forces from a conformal sector, and (iii) emergent forces from degrees of freedom that only exist in the infrared regime of the theory. We discuss the complementarity of spin-dependent force searches in an effective field theory framework. We identify well-motivated directions to search for exotic spin-dependent forces.

In this paper, we show how a presence of the exotic scalar, tensor weak interactions in addition to the standard vector-axial (V-A) one may help to distinguish the Dirac from Majorana neutrinos in the elastic scattering of (anti)neutrino beam off the unpolarized electrons in the limit of vanishing (anti)neutrino mass. We assume that the incoming (anti)neutrino beam comes from the polarized muon decay at rest and is the left-right chiral mixture with assigned direction of the transversal spin polarization with respect to the production plane. We display that the azimuthal asymmetry in the angular distribution of recoil electrons is generated by the interference terms between the standard and exotic couplings, which are proportional to the transversal (anti)neutrino spin polarization and independent of the neutrino mass. This asymmetry for the Majorana neutrinos is distinct from the one for the Dirac neutrinos through the absence of interference between the standard and tensor couplings. Additionally, the interference term between the standard and scalar coupling of the only left chiral neutrinos, absent in the Dirac case, appears. We also indicate the possibility of utilizing the azimuthal asymmetry measurements to search for the new CP-violating phases. Our analysis is model-independent and consistent with the current upper limits on the non-standard couplings.

We study simultaneous evolution of electron, neutrino and quark asymmetries, and large scale hypermagnetic fields in the symmetric phase of the electroweak plasma in the temperature range $100$GeV$\leq T\leq 10$TeV, taking into account the chirality flip processes via inverse Higgs decays and fermion number violation due to Abelian anomalies. We present a derivation of the coefficient of the Chern-Simons term for the hypercharge gauge field, showing that the left-handed and right-handed components of each fermion species contribute with opposite sign. This is in contrast to the results presented in some of the previous works. The $\textrm{U}_{\textrm{Y}}(1)$ Chern-Simons term affects the resulting anomalous magnetohydrodynamic (AMHD) equations. We solve the resulting coupled evolution equations for the lepton and baryon asymmetries, as well as the hypermagnetic field to obtain their time evolution along with their values at the electroweak phase transition ($T_{EW} \sim 100$GeV) for a variety of critical ranges for their initial values at $T=10$TeV. We first investigate the results of this sign change, by directly comparing our results with those obtained in one of the previous works and find that matter asymmetry generation increases considerably in the presence of a strong hypermagnetic field. Furthermore, we find that a strong hypermagnetic field can generate matter asymmetry starting from absolutely zero asymmetry, while matter asymmetry can generate a hypermagnetic field provided the initial value of the latter is nonzero.

A method to find relations between the operators in the mesonic Lagrangian of Chiral Perturbation Theory at order p^6 is presented. The procedure can be used to establish if the basis of operators in the Lagrangian is minimal. As an example, we apply the method to the two-flavour case in the absence of scalar and pseudo-scalar sources (s=p=0), and conclude that the minimal Lagrangian contains 27 independent operators.

We study a possible origin of single spin asymmetries in the large $p_T$ inclusive production of hadrons in the scattering of unpolarized protons or leptons on transversely polarized nucleons. Such asymmetry is related to the single-spin asymmetry for the process $\p^\uparrow \to q+X$ or, equivalently, to the off-diagonal matrix element of the quark density operator $\bar \psi \gamma^+ \psi$; this quantity need not be zero if transverse momentum and spin-isospin interactions are taken into account. The different signs for the large single spin asymmetries observed in $\p^\uparrow p \to \pi^+ X$ and $\p^\uparrow p \to \pi^- X$ can be explained as a consequence of chiral symmetry. Crucial tests of the model are suggested.

Such asymmetry is related to the single-spin asymmetry for the process $\p^\uparrow \to q+X$ or, equivalently, to the off-diagonal matrix element of the quark density operator $\bar \psi \gamma^+ \psi$; this quantity need not be zero if transverse momentum and spin-isospin interactions are taken into account. The different signs for the large single spin asymmetries observed in $\p^\uparrow p \to \pi^+ X$ and $\p^\uparrow p \to \pi^- X$ can be explained as a consequence of chiral symmetry. Crucial tests of the model are suggested.

A calculus for the derivatives of the eigen values of the neutralino mass matrix with respect to the CP violating background fields is developed and used to compute the mixings among the CP even and the CP odd Higgs sectors arising from the inclusion of the neutralino sector consisting of the neutralino, the Z boson, and the neutral Higgs bosons ($\chi^0_i-Z-h^0-H^0$) exchange in the loop contribution to the effective potential including the effects of large CP violating phases. Along with the stop, sbottom, stau and chargino-W-charged Higgs ($\chi^+-W-H^+$) contributions computed previously the present analysis completes the one loop corrections to the Higgs boson mass matrix in the presence of large phases. CP violation in the neutral Higgs sector is discussed in the above framework with specific focus on the mixings of the CP even and the CP odd sectors arising from the neutralino sector. It is shown that numerically the effects of the neutralino exchange contribution on the mixings of the CP even and the CP odd sectors are comparable to the effects of the stop and of the chargino exchange contributions and thus the neutralino exchange contribution must be included for a realistic analysis of mixings in the CP even and the CP odd sectors. Phenomenological implications of these results are discussed.

We present a full model of surface-detector responses to extensive air showers. The model is motivated by the principles of air-shower universality and can be applied to different types of surface detectors. Here we describe a parametrization for both water-Cerenkov detectors and scintillator surface detectors, as for instance employed by the upgraded detector array of the Pierre Auger Observatory. Using surface detector data, the model can be used to reconstruct with reasonable precision shower observables such as the depth of the shower maximum $X_\text{max}$ and the number of muons $R_\mu$.

A theoretical derivation of photon bremsstrahlung, induced by the interactions of an energetic quark in a hot and dense quark-gluon plasma, is given in the framework of the reaction operator approach. For the physically relevant case of hard jet production, followed by few in-medium interactions, we find that the Landau-Pomeranchuk-Migdal suppression of the bremsstrahlung photon intensity is much stronger than in the previously discussed limit of on-shell quarks and a large number of soft scatterings. We present the first systematic study of direct photon production in minimum bias d+Cu and d+Au and central Cu+Cu and Au+Au heavy ion collisions at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider at center of mass energies of 62.4 GeV and 200 GeV. We find that the contribution of the final-state photon production at pT < 5 GeV is limited to 35%, and at high transverse momenta, the modification of the direct photon cross section is dominated by initial-state cold nuclear matter effects.

We complete the perturbative program for equilibrium thermodynamics of cosmological first-order phase transitions by determining the finite-temperature effective potential of gauge-Higgs theories at next-to-next-to-next-to-next-to-leading order (N$^4$LO). The computation of the three-loop effective potential required to reach this order is extended to generic models in dimensionally reduced effective theories in a companion article. Our N$^4$LO result is the last perturbative order before confinement renders electroweak gauge-Higgs theories non-perturbative at four loops. By contrasting our analysis with non-perturbative lattice results, we find a remarkable agreement. As a direct application for predictions of gravitational waves produced by a first-order transition, our computation provides the final fully perturbative results for the phase transition strength and speed of sound.

The discovery of the baryonic states $P_c^+(4380)$ and $P_c^+(4450)$ by the LHCb collaboration has evoked a lot of theoretical interest. These states have the minimal quark content $c \bar{c} u u d$. Interpreted as hidden charm diquark-diquark-antiquark baryons, the assigned spin and angular momentum quantum numbers are $P_c^+(4380)= \{\bar{c} [cu]_{s=1} [ud]_{s=1}; L_{\mathcal{P}}=0, J^{\rm P}=\frac{3}{2}^- \}$ and $P_c^+(4450)= \{\bar{c} [cu]_{s=1} [ud]_{s=0}; L_{\mathcal{P}}=1, J^{\rm P}=\frac{5}{2}^+ \}$, where $s=0,1$ are the spins of the diquarks and $L_{\mathcal{P}}=0,1$ are the orbital angular momentum quantum numbers of the pentaquarks. We point out that heavy quark symmetry allows only the higher mass pentaquark state $P_c^+(4450)$ having $[ud]_{s=0}$ to be produced in $\Lambda_b^0$ decays, whereas the lower mass state $P_c^+(4380)$ having $[ud]_{s=1}$ is disfavored. Pentaquark spectrum is rich enough to accommodate a $J^P=\frac{3}{2}^-$ state, which has the correct light diquark spin $\{\bar{c} [cu]_{s=1} [ud]_{s=0}; L_{\mathcal{P}}=0, J^{\rm P}=\frac{3}{2}^- \}$ to be produced in $\Lambda_b^0$ decays. Assuming that the orbital mass difference between the charmed pentaquarks is similar to the corresponding mass difference in the charmed baryons, we estimate the mass of the lower pentaquark $J^P=3/2^-$ state to be about 4110 MeV and suggest to reanalyze the LHCb data to search for this third state. We present the spectroscopy of the $S$- and $P$-wave pentaquark states having a $c\bar{c}$ pair and three light quarks using an effective Hamiltonian approach. Some of these pentaquarks can be produced in weak decays of the $b$-baryons. Combining heavy quark symmetry and the $SU(3)_F$ symmetry results in strikingly simple relations among the decay amplitudes which are presented here.

We find no stable state below the corresponding baryon-baryon thresholds. Besides the masses, we also estimate the relative width ratios of the two-body decay channels. We hope our study will be of help for future experiments.

We describe a model for the scalar sector where all interactions occur either at an ultra-high scale L_U ~ 10^{16}-10^{19} GeV or at an intermediate scale L_I ~ 10^{9}-10^{11} GeV. The interaction of physics on these two scales results in an SU(2) Higgs condensate at the electroweak (EW) scale, L_{EW}, through a seesaw-like Higgs mechanism, L_{EW} ~ L_I^2/L_U, while the breaking of the SM SU(2)XU(1) gauge symmetry occurs at the intermediate scale L_I. The EW scale is, therefore, not fundamental but is naturally generated in terms of ultra-high energy phenomena and so the hierarchy problem is alleviated. We show that the class of such ``seesaw Higgs'' models predict the existence of sub-eV neutrino masses which are generated through a ``two-step'' seesaw mechanism in terms of the same two ultra-high scales: m_nu ~ L_I^4/L_U^3 ~ L_{EW}^2/L_U. The neutrinos can be either Dirac or Majorana, depending on the structure of the scalar potential. We also show that our seesaw Higgs model can be naturally embedded in theories with tiny extra dimensions of size R ~ 1/L_U ~ 10^{-16} fm, where the seesaw induced EW scale arises from a violation of a symmetry at a distant brane; in particular, in the scenario presented there are 7 tiny extra dimensions.

Inelastic dark matter with moderate splittings, $\mathcal{O}({\rm few} \; {\rm to} \; 150)$ keV, can upscatter to an excited state in the Earth, with the excited state subsequently decaying, leaving a distinctive monoenergetic photon signal in large underground detectors. The photon signal can exhibit sidereal-daily modulation, providing excellent separation from backgrounds. Using a detailed numerical simulation, we examine this process as a search strategy for magnetic inelastic dark matter with the dark matter mass near the weak scale, where the upscatter to the excited state and decay proceed through the same magnetic dipole transition operator. At lower inelastic splittings, the scattering is dominated by moderate mass elements in the Earth with high spin, especially $^{27}$Al, while at larger splittings, $^{56}$Fe becomes the dominant target. We show that the proposed large volume gaseous detector CYGNUS will have excellent sensitivity to this signal. Xenon detectors also provide excellent sensitivity through the inelastic nuclear recoil signal, and if a future signal is seen, we show that the synergy among both types of detection can provide strong evidence for magnetic inelastic dark matter. In the course we have calculated nuclear response functions for elements relevant for scattering in the Earth, which are publicly available on GitHub.

We perform the first simultaneous extraction of parton collinear and transverse degrees of freedom from low-energy fixed-target Drell-Yan data in order to compare the transverse momentum dependent (TMD) parton distribution functions (PDFs) of the pion and proton. We demonstrate that the transverse separation of the quark field encoded in TMDs of the pion is more than $4 \sigma$ smaller than that of the proton. Additionally, we find the transverse separation of the quark field decreases as its longitudinal momentum fraction decreases. In studying the nuclear modification of TMDs, we find clear evidence for a transverse EMC effect. We comment on possible explanations for these intriguing behaviors, which call for a deeper examination of tomography in a variety of strongly interacting quark-gluon systems.

A crucial test of the Standard Model is the measurement of electroweak gauge-boson scattering. In this paper, we describe a generic parameterization aimed at a realistic simulation of weak-boson scattering at the LHC. The parameterization implements resonances of all possible spin and isospin combinations, properly matched to the low-energy effective (chiral) Lagrangian, includes leading higher-order effects and contains a minimal unitarization scheme. We implement the parameterization in the Monte-Carlo event generator WHIZARD and present results for complete partonic cross-section integration and event generation. We provide a comparison with the effective W approximation that previously has been used for most WW scattering studies at hadron colliders.

We review the physics case for CP-violating axions. In the first part, we focus on the Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) axion and argue that new sources of CP violation beyond QCD misalign the axion solution to the strong CP problem and can manifest themselves via a tiny scalar axion-nucleon component. We hence highlight recent advancements in calculating this scalar axion-nucleon coupling, a parameter that could be probed via axion-mediated force experiments. In the second part, we focus on axion-like particle (ALP) interactions entailing the most general sources of CP violation. After classifying the full set of CP-violating Jarlskog invariants, we report on recent calculations of ALP contributions to permanent electric dipole moments. We finally speculate on possible ultraviolet completions of the CP-violating ALP.

We investigate the increase in strangeness production with charged particle multiplicity ($dN_{ch}/dy$) seen by the ALICE collaboration at CERN in p-p, p-Pb and Pb-Pb collisions using the hadron resonance gas model. The strangeness canonical ensemble is used taking into account the interactions among hadrons using S-matrix corrections based on known phase shift analyses. We show the essential role of constraints due to the exact conservation of strangeness which is instrumental to describing observed features of strange particle yields and their scaling with $dN_{ch}/dy$. Furthermore, the results on comparing the hadron resonance gas model with and without S-matrix corrections, are presented. We observe that the interactions introduced by the phase shift analysis via the S-matrix formalism are essential for a better description of the yields data independent of collision system. This work is based on our long-lasting collaboration and most recent publications with Jean Cleymans.

We give an overview of our calculation of the next-to-next-to-leading order (NNLO) QCD corrections to W + jet production in hadronic collisions. Phenomenological results for multiple differential distributions are compared to CMS data for 8 TeV proton-proton collisions. We further discuss the application of the calculation to the transverse momentum spectrum of inclusive W boson production, again accompanied by a comparison to 8 TeV CMS data. In both cases, the inclusion of NNLO QCD effects give an improved agreement between theory and data with considerably reduced scale uncertainties with respect to the next-to-leading order (NLO) results.

Considering recently developed Hard Thermal Loop perturbation theory that takes into account the effect of the variation of the external field through the fluctuations of a conserved quantity we calculate the temporal component of the Euclidian correlation function in the vector channel. The results are found to be in good agreement with the very recent results obtained within the quenched approximation of QCD and small values of the quark mass ($\sim 0.1T$) on improved lattices of size $128^3\times N_\tau$ at ($N_\tau=40, \ T=1.2T_C$), ($N_\tau=48, \ T=1.45T_C$), and ($N_\tau=16, \ T=2.98T_C$), where $N_\tau$ is the temporal extent of the lattice. This suggests that the results from lattice QCD and Hard Thermal Loop perturbation theory are in close proximity for a quantity associated with the conserved density fluctuation.

We present accurate QCD predictions for the transverse momentum pT spectrum of electroweak gauge bosons at the LHC for 13 TeV collisions, based on a consistent combination of a NNLO calculation at large pT and N3LL resummation in the small pT limit. The inclusion of higher order corrections leads to substantial changes in the shape of the differential distributions, and the residual perturbative uncertainties are reduced to the few percent level across the whole transverse momentum spectrum. We examine the ratio of pT distributions in charged- and neutral-current Drell-Yan production, and study different prescriptions for the estimate of perturbative uncertainties that rely on different degrees of correlation between these processes. We observe an excellent stability of the ratios with respect to the perturbative order, indicating a strong correlation between the corresponding QCD corrections.

We showed in a previous publication that there are six independent dimension-seven operators violating both lepton and baryon numbers ($L=-B=1$) and twelve ones violating lepton but preserving baryon number ($L=2,~B=0$) in standard model effective field theory, and we calculated one-loop renormalization for the former six operators. In this work we continue our efforts on renormalization of the operators. It turns out this could become subtle because the operators are connected by nontrivial relations when fermion flavors are counted. This kind of relations does not appear in lower dimensional operators. We show how we can extract anomalous dimension matrix for a flavor-specified basis of operators from counterterms computed for the above flavor-blind operators without introducing singular inverse Yukawa coupling matrices. As a phenomenological application, we investigate renormalization group effects on nuclear neutrinoless double $\beta$ decay. We also discuss very briefly its analog in the meson sector, $K^\pm\to\pi^\mp\mu^\pm\mu^\pm$, and indicate potential difficulties to compute its decay width.

Recent interest in horizontal symmetry model building has been driven mainly by the large top mass and hence strong hierarchy in quark masses, and the possibility of appropriately constrained soft squark mass matrices, in place of an assumed universality condition, for satisfying the relevant FCNC constraints. Here we present the first successful SUSY-$SU(5)$ model that has such a feature. The horizontal symmetry is a gauged $(Q_{12} \times U(1))_H$ ($\subset (SU(2) \times U(1))_H$). All nonrenormalizable terms compatible with the symmetry are allowed in the mass matrix constructions. Charged lepton masses can also be accommodated.

Hagedorn states are the key to understand how all hadrons observed in high energy heavy ion collisions seem to reach thermal equilibrium so quickly. An assembly of Hagedorn states is formed in elementary hadronic or heavy ion collisions at hadronization. Microscopic simulations within the transport model UrQMD allow to study the time evolution of such a pure non-equilibrated Hagedorn state gas towards a thermally equilibrated Hadron Resonance Gas by using dynamics, which unlike strings, fully respect detailed balance. Propagation, repopulation, rescatterings and decays of Hagedorn states provide the yields of all hadrons up to a mass of m=2.5 GeV. Ratios of feed down corrected hadron multiplicities are compared to corresponding experimental data from the ALICE collaboration at LHC. The quick thermalization within t=1-2 fm\c of the emerging Hadron Resonance Gas exposes Hagedorn states as a tool to understand hadronization.

Transport equations for quark matter are derived in the mean field approximation for the Nambu -- Jona-Lasinio Lagrangian. Emphasis is put on the chiral limit (zero current quark masses) and the consequences of the chiral symmetry are investigated in detail. Our approach is based on the spinor decomposition of the Wigner function. Kinetic equations for the quark densities and for the spin are derived. We find that the latter is constrained by the requirement of the axial current conservation.

We implement a minimal linear seesaw model (LSM) for addressing the Quasi-Dirac (QD) behaviour of heavy neutrinos, focusing on the mass regime of $M_{N} \lesssim M_{W}$. Here we show that for relatively low neutrino masses, covering the few GeV range, the same-sign to opposite-sign dilepton ratio, $R_{\ell \ell}$, can be anywhere between 0 and 1, thus signaling a Quasi-Dirac regime. Particular values of $R_{\ell \ell}$ are controlled by the width of the QD neutrino and its mass splitting, the latter being equal to the light-neutrino mass $m_{\nu}$ in the LSM scenario. The current upper bound on $m_{\nu_{1}}$ together with the projected sensitivities of current and future $|U_{N \ell}|^{2}$ experimental measurements, set stringent constraints on our low-scale QD mass regime. Some experimental prospects of testing the model by LHC displaced vertex searches are also discussed.

We consider three-loop $\beta$-function corrections to the sparticle spectrum in the MSSM, with particular emphasis on Snowmass Benchmark points. The three loop running has little effect on the weakly interacting particle spectrum, but for the squark masses the effect can be comparable to, or greater than, that of two loop running. We extend the analysis to the semi-perturbative unification scenario, where the impact of the three loop corrections becomes even more dramatic.

Inspired by the recent discovery of a doubly charmed tetraquark state $T_{cc}^+$ by the LHCb Collaboration, we employ the effective Lagrangian approach to investigate the decay width of $T_{cc}^{+}\to D^{+} D^{0}\pi^{0}/D^{0} D^{0}\pi^{+}$ and $T_{cc}^{+}\to D^{0}D^{+}\gamma$ with the assumption that $T_{cc}^{+}$ is an isoscalar $DD^{\ast}$ molecule. We show that both the $T_{cc}\to D D\pi$ and $T_{cc}\to DD\gamma$ modes contribute to the decay width of $T_{cc}$, with the former being dominant. The resulting total decay width of about $\Gamma=63$ keV is smaller than the experimental decay width obtained from the Breit-Wigner fit of the LHCb data, $\Gamma=410\pm 165\pm 43^{+18}_{-38}$ keV, while close to the number obtained from the alternative unitary analysis, $\Gamma=48\pm 2^{+0}_{-14}$ keV, which supports the molecular nature of $T_{cc}$.

The mixing of the known quarks with new heavy singlets can modify significantly some observables with respect to the Standard Model predictions. We analyse the range of deviations permitted by the constraints from precision electroweak data and flavour-changing neutral processes at low energies. We study top charged current and neutral current couplings, which will be directly tested at top factories, like LHC and TESLA. We discuss some examples of observables from K and B physics, as the branching ratio of K_L -> pi^0 nu nu, the B^0_s mass difference or the time-dependent CP asymmetry in B_s^0 -> D_s^+ D_s^-, which can also show large new effects.

We discuss the connections between the recently observed Higgs-like particle and rare B decays in the context of two Higgs doublet models (2HDMs). The measured decays of the Higgs boson to fermions and gauge bosons, along with the observation of the decay B_s -> \mu+ \mu-, place stringent restrictions on the allowed parameter space of 2 Higgs doublet models. Future measurements of h0 -> \gamma \gamma can potentially exclude type I 2HDMs, while the parameters of other 2HDMs are already severely restricted. The recent observations of the h0 -> \tau+ \tau- and h0 -> b bbar decays further constrain the models.

We reexamine inflation due to a constrained inflaton in the model of a complex scalar. Inflaton evolves along a spiral-like valley of special scalar potential in the scalar field space just like single field inflation. Sub-Planckian inflaton can induce sufficient $e$-foldings because of a long slow-roll path. In a special limit, the scalar spectral index and the tensor-to-scalar ratio has equivalent expressions to the inflation with monomial potential $\varphi^n$. The favorable values for them could be obtained by varying parameters in the potential. This model could be embedded in a certain radiative neutrino mass model.

This paper presents a novel method of searching for boosted hadronically decaying objects by treating them as anomalous elements of a contaminated dataset. A Variational Recurrent Neural Network (VRNN) is used to model jets as sequences of constituent four-vectors. After applying a pre-processing method which boosts each jet to the same reference mass and energy, the VRNN provides each jet an Anomaly Score that distinguishes between the structure of signal and background jets. The model is trained in an entirely unsupervised setting and without high level variables, making the score more robust against mass and $p_{T}$ correlations when compared to methods based primarily on jet substructure. Performance is evaluated on the jet level, as well as in an analysis context by searching for a heavy resonance with a final state of two boosted jets. The Anomaly Score shows consistent performance along a wide range of signal contamination amounts, for both two and three-pronged jet substructure hypotheses. Analysis results demonstrate that the use of Anomaly Score as a classifier enhances signal sensitivity while retaining a smoothly falling background jet mass distribution. The model's discriminatory performance resulting from an unsupervised training scenario opens up the possibility to train directly on data without a pre-defined signal hypothesis.

The Higgs particle is a new elementary particle predicted in the Standard Model of the elementary particle physics. It plays a special role in the theory of mass generation of quarks, leptons, and gauge bosons. In this article, theoretical issues on the Higgs mechanism are first discussed, and then experimental prospects on the Higgs particle study at the future collider experiments, LHC and ILC, are reviewed. The Higgs coupling determination is an essential step to establish the mass generation mechanism, which could lead to a deeper understanding of particle physics.

We propose a new mechanism for baryogenesis in supersymmetric extensions of the standard model, that does not depend on (super)GUT interactions. It occurs by the non-perturbative electroweak reprocessing of a lepton asymmetry. This lepton asymmetry is generated by the effects of lepton number violating induced operators, arising from "see-saw" (s)neutrino masses, which act on scalar condensate oscillations along flat directions of the supersymmetric standard model.

We study the long-range force arising between two aggregates of ordinary matter due to a neutrino-pair exchange, in the limit of zero neutrino mass. Even if matter is neutral of electric charge, it is charged for this weak force. The interaction is described in terms of a coherent charge, which we call the weak flavor charge of aggregated matter. For each one of the interacting aggregates, this charge depends on the neutrino flavor as $Q_W^{\nu_e} = 2Z-N$, $Q_W^{\nu_\mu} = Q_W^{\nu_\tau} = -N$, where $Z$ is the number of protons and $N$ the number of neutrons. $Q_W^{\nu_e}$ depends explicitly on $Z$ because of the charged current contribution to $\nu_e e$ elastic scattering, while the $N$ term in the three charges comes from the universal neutral current contribution. The effective potential describing this force is repulsive and decreases as $r^{-5}$. Due to its specific behavior on $(Z,N)$ and $r$, this interaction is distinguishable from both gravitation and residual electromagnetic forces. As neutrinos are massive and mixed, this potential is valid for $r\lesssim 1/m_\nu$, distances beyond which a Yukawa-like attenuation kicks in.

The decays $K^{+} \rightarrow \pi^{+} e^{+} e^{-}$, $K_{S} \rightarrow \pi^{0} e^{+} e^{-}$ and $K_{L} \rightarrow \pi^{0} e^{+} e^{-}$ are reinvestigated within the framework of chiral perturbation theory. The counterterms induced by strong, electromagnetic and weak interactions are determined assuming the resonance exchange. The weak deformation model, the factorization model and the large $N_{c}$ limit are used to create a weak Lagrangian. It is found that the results of the first two approaches depend on the $H_{1}$ coupling, defined in the effective chiral Lagrangian of the ${\it O} (p^{4})$ order. The set of parameters used in the extended Nambu and Jona-Lasinio model can accommodete $K^{+} \rightarrow \pi^{+} e^{+} e^{-}$ decay rate within the factorization approach. The CP violating $K_{L} \rightarrow \pi^{0} e^{+} e^{-}$ decay rate is discussed.

The weak deformation model, the factorization model and the large $N_{c}$ limit are used to create a weak Lagrangian. It is found that the results of the first two approaches depend on the $H_{1}$ coupling, defined in the effective chiral Lagrangian of the ${\it O} (p^{4})$ order. The set of parameters used in the extended Nambu and Jona-Lasinio model can accommodete $K^{+} \rightarrow \pi^{+} e^{+} e^{-}$ decay rate within the factorization approach. The CP violating $K_{L} \rightarrow \pi^{0} e^{+} e^{-}$ decay rate is discussed.

Sterile neutrinos with a mass around the keV scale are an attractive particle physics candidate for Warm Dark Matter. Although many frameworks have been presented in which these neutrinos can fulfill all phenomenological constraints, there are hardly any models known that can explain such a peculiar mass pattern, one sterile neutrino at the keV scale and the other two considerably heavier, while at the same time being compatible with low-energy neutrino data. In this paper, we present models based on the Froggatt-Nielsen mechanism, which can give such an explanation. We explain how to assign Froggatt-Nielsen charges in a successful way, and we give a detailed discussion of all conditions to be fulfilled. It turns out that the typical arbitrariness of the charge assignments is greatly reduced when trying to carefully account for all constraints. We furthermore present analytical calculations of a few simplified models, while quasi-perfect models are found numerically.

We present up-to-date QCD predictions for open charm and bottom production at RHIC in nucleon-nucleon collisions at \sqrt{S} = 200 GeV. The electron spectrum resulting from heavy flavor decays is also evaluated for direct comparison to the PHENIX and STAR data. These predictions seek to establish a rigorous benchmark, including the theoretical uncertainties, against which nuclear collision data can be compared to obtain evidence for nuclear effects.

We consider a scenario where the top-quark mass is generated dynamically, and study the implication of the present experimental values for $m_t$ and the $T$ parameter. We assume technicolor-like scenario for inducing the $W$ mass and an effective four fermi operator for inducing the top-quark mass. We also assume that only this four fermi operator is relevant at low energy. Then we estimate in detail the strength $G$ and the intrinsic mass scale $M$ of the four fermi operator. Unitarity bound is used to quantify the strength of $G$. We find that $G/4\pi \sim {\cal O}(1)$ and that $M$ is of the order of $\Lambda_{TC} \simeq 1 \sim 2$~TeV or less. Namely the four fermi operator cannot be treated as `point-like' around the electroweak scale. Furthermore we estimate the contribution of the four fermi operator to the $T$ parameter. We find that the QCD correction to the top-quark mass function reduces the contribution to the $T$ parameter by about 40\%. By comparing the results with the present experimental bound, we obtain another upper bound on $M$ which is typically in several to 10~TeV region.

Starting with the two-point correlation function in external electromagnetic field and expanding it in power of the electromagnetic interaction Hamiltonian, we extract the magnetic moment from the linear response to the external electromagnetic field. The numerical value of the magnetic moment of $P_{c}(4312)$ is $\mu_{P_{c}}=1.75^{+0.15}_{-0.11}$.

Motivated by recent hints in particle physics and cosmology, we study the realization of eV-scale sterile neutrinos within both the seesaw mechanism and flavor symmetry theories. We show that light sterile neutrinos can rather easily be accommodated in the popular A_4 flavor symmetry models. The exact tri-bimaximal mixing pattern is perturbed due to active-sterile mixing, which we discuss in detail for one example. In addition, we find an interesting extension of the type I seesaw, which can provide a natural origin for eV-scale sterile neutrinos as well as visible admixtures between sterile and active neutrinos. We also show that the presence of sterile neutrinos would significantly change the observables in neutrino experiments, specifically the oscillation probabilities in short-baseline experiments and the effective mass in neutrino-less double beta decay. The latter can prove particularly helpful to strengthen the case for eV-scale sterile neutrinos.

We calculate the O(\alpha) electroweak corrections to charged- and neutral-current deep-inelastic neutrino scattering off an isoscalar target. The full one-loop-corrected cross sections, including hard photonic corrections, are evaluated and compared to an earlier result which is the basis of the NuTeV analysis. In particular, we compare results that differ in input-parameter scheme, treatment of real photon radiation and factorization scheme. The associated shifts in the theoretical prediction for the ratio of neutral- and charged-current cross sections can be larger than the experimental accuracy of the NuTeV result.

We have determined the QCD corrections to the production of squark-antisquark pairs in $p\bar p$ collisions at the Tevatron. If the next-to-leading order corrections are taken into account, the renormalization/factorization scale dependence of the theoretical prediction for the cross section is reduced considerably. The higher order corrections increase the production cross section at the Tevatron by about a factor two if we compare the next-to-leading order prediction at a scale near the squark mass with the lowest order prediction for which, in the experimental analyses, the scale was identified with the invariant energy of the parton subprocess. This results in a rise of the experimental lower bound on the squark mass from the Tevatron by about $20$ GeV.

In the NRQCD factorization for productions and decays of a quakonium the difference between the quarkonium mass and the twice of the heavy quark mass is neglected at the leading order of the small velocity expansion. The effect of this difference is included in the relativistic correction. We attempt to define the difference in terms of NRQCD matrix elements and to separate the effect of the difference in several decays. It turns out that the total relativistic correcttion can be estimated by the difference. Numerically the correction will enhance the decay widths considered here.

We find that in the CGC/saturation approach the largest contribution stems from the density variation mechanism. Our principal results are that the odd Fourier harmonics($v_{2n+1}$), decrease substantially as function of $y_{12}$, while the even harmonics ($v_{2n}$ ), increase considerably with a growth of $y_{12}$.

The observance of parity conserving time reversal violation in light quark systems could signal the presence of physics beyond the Standard Model. I discuss the implications of low-energy time reversal tests for the existence of such T-violating, P-conserving (TVPC) interactions. I argue that searches for permanent electric dipole moments (EDM's) and direct TVPC searches provide complementary information on P-conserving T-violation. EDM searches yield constraints only under the assumption that parity symmetry is restored at the scale Lambda associated with new TVPC physics. If parity remains broken at short distances, direct searches yield the least ambiguous bounds. In the latter case, improving the experimental precision of direct TVPC searches in neutron beta-decay and polarized epithermal neutron transmission at the Spallation Neutron Source could yield tighter bounds.

We calculate the decay constants of $D_s$ and $D_s^{*}$ with $\bar{B}^0 \ra D^{+}\ell^{-}\nu$ and $\bar{B}^0 \ra D^{+}D_s^{-(*)}$ decays. In our analysis we take the factorization method including non-factorizable term contributions and used two different form factor behaviours (constant and monopole-type) for $F_0(q^2)$. We also consider the QCD-penguin and Electroweak-penguin contributions in hadronic decays within the NDR renormalization scheme at NLO calculation. We estimate the decay constant of the $D_s$ meson to be $233\pm49$ ${\rm MeV}$ for (pole/pole)-type form factor and $255\pm54$ ${\rm MeV}$ for (pole/constant)-type form factor. For $D_s^{*}$ meson, we get $f_{D_s^{*}} = 346 \pm 82$ ${\rm MeV}$, and $f_{D_s^{*}}/f_{D_s} = 1.43 \pm 0.45$ for (pole/constant)-type form factor.
