Axions and axion-like pseudoscalar particles with dimension-5 couplings to photons exhibit coherent Bragg-Primakoff scattering with ordered crystals at keV energy scales. This provides for a natural detection technique in searches for axions produce in the Sun's interior. I will motivate the utility of dark matter direct detection experiments in searching for solar axions, emphasizing the role crystal-based detector technologies. I present an updated theoretical treatment of the Bragg-Primakoff photoconversion process for keV pseudoscalars, and address simultaneously the effects of absorption of final state photons in crystals on the loss of coherence, which can lead to large suppressive corrections to the event rate sensitivity for this detection technique. However, I also show that the Borrmann effect of anomalous absorption significantly lifts the suppression. This phenomenon is studied in Ge, NaI, and CsI crystal experiments and its impact on the the projected sensitivities of SuperCDMS, LEGEND, and SABRE to the solar axion parameter space. Lastly, I investigate the future reach of multi-ton scale crystal detectors and discuss strategies to maximize the discovery potential of experimental efforts in this vein.

We derive a factorization formula for the double Drell-Yan cross section in terms of double parton distribution functions (dPDFs). Diparton flavor, spin and color correlations and parton-exchange interference terms contribute, even for unpolarized beams. Soft radiation effects are nontrivial for the color correlation and interference contributions, and are described by non-perturbative soft functions. We provide a field-theoretic definition of the quark dPDFs and study some of their basic properties, including discrete symmetries and their interpretation in a non-relativistic quark model. We calculate the renormalization group evolution of the quark dPDFs and of the soft functions. The evolution receives contributions from both ultraviolet and rapidity divergences. We find that color correlation and interference effects are Sudakov suppressed, greatly reducing the number of dPDFs needed to describe double parton scattering at high energy experiments.

The fast Monte Carlo procedure of hadron generation developed in our previous work is extended to describe noncentral collisions of nuclei. We consider different possibilities to introduce appropriate asymmetry of the freeze-out hyper-surface and flow velocity profile. For comparison with other models and experimental data we demonstrate the results based on the standard parametrizations of the hadron freeze-out hyper-surface and flow velocity profile assuming either a common chemical and thermal freeze-out or the chemically frozen evolution from chemical to thermal freeze-out. The C++ generator code is written under the ROOT framework and is available for public use at http://uhkm.jinr.ru/

We present a study of photon-photon scattering in the mass range $W_{\gamma\gamma} < 5$ GeV. We extend earlier calculations of this cross section for $W_{\gamma\gamma}>$ 5 GeV into the low mass range where photoproduction of the pseudoscalar resonances $\eta$, $\eta^{'}(958)$ contributes to two-photon final states. We present the elementary photon-photon cross section as a function of diphoton mass $M_{\gamma\gamma}$ arising from lepton and quark loop diagrams, and the visible cross section obtained with the gamma-gamma decay branching fractions of the resonances $\eta$, $\eta^{'}(958)$, $\eta_c(1S)$, $\eta_c(2S)$, $\chi_{c0}(1P)$. We derive the corresponding cross sections in ultra-peripheral Pb-Pb collisions at $\sqrt{s_{NN}}$ = 5.02 TeV by folding the elementary cross section with the heavy-ion photon fluxes. We consider the dominating background of the two-photon final state which arises from gamma decays of photoproduced $\pi^{0}$-pairs. Such $\pi^{0}$-pairs contribute to the background when only two of the four decay photons are within the experimental acceptance, while the other two photons escape undetected. We reduce this background by applying cuts on asymmetries of transverse momenta of the two photons and indicate how the background can be further suppressed using a multivariate sideband analysis. We present the cross section for the signal and the background at midrapidity $|\eta| <$ 0.9, and in the forward rapidity range 2.0 $< \eta <$ 4.5.

The measurements of the $J/\psi \rightarrow \gamma p \overline{p}$ decays by the BES Collaboration indicate an enhancement at the $p \overline{p}$ threshold which, however, is not present in the J/$\psi$ decays into $\omega p \overline{p}$ and into $\pi p \overline{p}$. Here, two processes for describing the decays $J/\psi \rightarrow \mathcal{B} p \overline{p}$ where $\mathcal{B} = \gamma, \omega$ are presented in some detail and the cases $\mathcal{B} =\phi, \pi $ are briefly touched on. The first one, applied not only to the radiative decay to reproduce the threshold peak but also to the $\omega p \overline{p}$ decay channel to improve the description of the spectrum, postulates a direct emission of the boson before the baryon pair is formed. The second process assumes that the boson $\mathcal{B}$ is emitted from the baryon pair following the $J/\psi$ decay and includes for the decays into $\gamma p \overline{p}$ a final state nucleon-antinucleon interaction based on the Paris $N \overline{N}$ potential. The reproduction of the $p \overline{p}$ distribution in the $J/\psi \rightarrow \omega p \overline{p}$ decays needs a final state interaction involving a $N(2050)\ 3/2^-$ resonance. The photon- and meson-emission rates are reproduced in a semi-quantitative way.

The spinless Salpeter equation can be regarded as the eigenvalue equation of a Hamiltonian that involves the relativistic kinetic energy and therefore is, in general, a nonlocal operator. Accordingly, it is hard to find solutions of this bound-state equation by exclusively analytic means. Nevertheless, a lot of tools enables us to constrain the resulting bound-state spectra rigorously. We illustrate some of these techniques for the example of the Hulth\'en potential.

Motivated by the recent discovery of single heavy tetraquark structures, $T_{c\bar{s}0}^a (2900)^{++}$ and $T_{c\bar{s}0}^a(2900)^0$ by the LHCb collaboration, masses and magnetic moments of singly heavy pentaquark states are estimated in this work. To classify the singly heavy pentaquark structures, we employ the special unitary representation. By using the SU(3) flavor representation, we placed singly heavy pentaquark states into the allowed flavor multiples. Also, by using the extension of the Gursey-Radicati mass formula and the effective mass scheme, we estimated the masses of singly heavy pentaquark states. Further, magnetic moments of these states have been calculated using the effective mass and the screened charge techniques. A thorough comparison of our results shows reasonable agreement with the available theoretical data and may be helpful for future experimental studies.

In supersymmetric models without $R$-parity neutrinos naturally become massive and mix with each other. We explore the predictions of a very restricted model with only three free parameters and find that this model naturally yields masses and mixing angles compatible with experimental results from solar and atmospheric neutrino experiments. Furthermore, there is a tiny region in parameter space where the solution to the solar neutrino puzzle is compatible with either the LSND result or the existence of significant hot dark matter neutrinos.

Combined fits are performed to these large-p_T direct gamma cross sections and lepton-proton deep-inelastic scattering data in the framework of next-to-leading order perturbative QCD. Special attention is paid to theoretical uncertainties originating from the scale dependence of the results and from the fragmentation contribution to the prompt photon cross section.

A discrete, non-abelian subgroup of $U(3)$ is added to the gauge group $SU(3)_{C}\times SU(2)_{L}\times U(1)_{Y}$ . Apart from that, one assumes the existence of one extra Higgs doublet.

Neutrinos in a core-collapse supernova undergo coherent flavor transformations in their own background. We explore this phenomenon during the cooling stage of the explosion. Our three-flavor calculations reveal qualitatively new effects compared to a two-flavor analysis. These effects are especially clearly seen for the inverted mass hierarchy: we find a different pattern of spectral "swaps" in the neutrino spectrum and a novel "mixed" spectrum for the antineutrinos. A brief discussion of the relevant physics is presented, including the instability of the two-flavor evolution trajectory, the 3-flavor pattern of spectral "swaps," and partial nonadiabaticity of the evolution.

We propose a new paradigm for generating exponentially spread standard model Yukawa couplings from a new $U(1)_F$ gauge symmetry in the dark sector. Chiral symmetry is spontaneously broken among dark fermions that obtain non-vanishing masses from a non-perturbative solution to the mass gap equation. The necessary ingredient for this mechanism to work is the existence of higher derivative terms in the dark $U(1)_F$ theory, or equivalently the existence of Lee-Wick ghosts, that (i) allow for a non-perturbative solution to the mass gap equation in the weak coupling regime of the Abelian theory; (ii) induce exponential dependence of the generated masses on dark fermion $U(1)_F$ quantum numbers. The generated flavor and chiral symmetry breaking in the dark sector is transferred to the standard model Yukawa couplings at one loop level via Higgs portal type scalar messenger fields. The latter carry quantum numbers of squarks and sleptons. A new intriguing phenomenology is predicted that could be potentially tested at the LHC, provided the characteristic mass scale of the messenger sector is accessible at the LHC as is suggested by naturalness arguments.

It is argued that constituent quarks live in an effective theory that possesses an approximate conformal invariance. An effective lagrangian is constructed which in the large-$\nc$ approximation incorporates Regge asymptotic constraints. The resulting picture explains why linear-sigma models provide successful constituent quark descriptions, both at zero and finite temperature. Our analysis suggests an interesting relation between non-linearly realized conformal invariance and the completion of chiral multiplets in the broken symmetry phase.

We discuss F-theory SU(5) GUTs in which some or all of the quark and lepton families are assigned to different curves and family symmetry enforces a leading order rank one structure of the Yukawa matrices. We consider two possibilities for the suppression of baryon and lepton number violation. The first is based on Flipped SU(5) with gauge group SU(5)\times U(1)_\chi \times SU(4)_{\perp} in which U(1)_{\chi} plays the role of a generalised matter parity. We present an example which, after imposing a Z_2 monodromy, has a U(1)_{\perp}^2 family symmetry. Even in the absence of flux, spontaneous breaking of the family symmetry leads to viable quark, charged lepton and neutrino masses and mixing. The second possibility has an R-parity associated with the symmetry of the underlying compactification manifold and the flux. We construct an example of a model with viable masses and mixing angles based on the gauge group SU(5)\times SU(5)_{\perp} with a U(1)_{\perp}^3 family symmetry after imposing a Z_2 monodromy.

We analyze a class of supersymmetric models first introduced by Arkani-Hamed et al and Borzumati et al in which the light neutrino masses result from higher-dimensional supersymmetry-breaking terms in the MSSM super- and Kahler-potentials. The mechanism is closely related to the Giudice-Masiero mechanism for the MSSM $\mu$ parameter, and leads to TeV-scale right-handed neutrino and sneutrino states, that are in principle accessible to direct experimental study. The dominant contribution to the light neutrino (Majorana) mass matrix is a one-loop term induced by a lepton-number violating $B$-term for the sneutrino states that is naturally present. We focus upon the simplification and analysis of the flavour structure of this general class of models, finding that simple and novel origins for the light neutrino mass matrix are possible. We find that a subdominant tree-level `see-saw' contribution may lead to interesting perturbations of the leading one-loop-induced flavour structure, possibly generating the small ratio $\Delta m_{\rm solar}^2/\Delta m_{\rm atm}^2$ dynamically.

The $Z_b(10610)^\pm$ and $Z_b(10650)^\pm$ are two bottomonium-like structures discovered in the $\pi h_b(mP)$, $\pi \Upsilon(nS)$ and $B^\ast\bar B^{(\ast)}+h.c.$ invariant mass spectra, where $m=\{1,2\}$ and $n=\{1,2,3\}$. Their nature is puzzling due to their charge, which forces its minimal quark content to be $b\bar b u\bar d$ ($b\bar b d\bar u$). Thus, it is necessary to explore four-quark systems in order to understand their inner structure. Additionally, their strong coupling to channels such as $\pi \Upsilon$ and the closeness of their mass to $B^\ast\bar B^{(\ast)}$-thresholds stimulates a molecular interpretation. Within the framework of a constituent quark model which satisfactorily describes a wide range of properties of (non-)conventional hadrons containing heavy quarks, we perform a coupled-channels calculation of the $I^G(J^{PC})=1^+(1^{+-})$ hidden-bottom sector including $B^{(\ast)}\bar B^{\ast}+h.c.$, $\pi h_b$, $\pi \Upsilon$ and $\rho\eta_b$ channels. We analyze the line shapes in the different channels, describing the $\Upsilon(5S)\to \pi B^{(*)}\bar B^{(*)}$ by means of the $^3P_0$ model. Since our description of the line shapes promising, we perform the same coupled-channels calculation for the $Z_b$'s with $J^{--}$, where $J=\{0,1,2\}$. This allows us to obtain a fair description of the corresponding line shapes. The study of the analytic structure of the $S$-matrix suggests that the experimental $Z_b$ structures arise as a combination of several poles with $J^{PC}=0^{--}$, $1^{\pm-}$ and $2^{--}$ quantum numbers nearby the $B\bar B^\ast$ and $B^\ast\bar B^\ast$ thresholds.

These measurements include single top production cross sections, $W$ boson helicity fractions and forward-backward asymmetries, both at Tevatron and at the Large Hadron Collider, up to a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV. The results obtained at 95% Confidence Level for the top quark anomalous couplings are compared with the limits extracted from a combination that includes the expected measurements at the future High-Luminosity run of the Large Hadron Collider.

It is found that the seesaw mechanism not only explains the smallness of neutrino masses but also accounts for the large mixing angles simultaneously, even if the unification of the neutrino Dirac mass matrix with that of up-type quark sector is realized. In this mechanism, we show that the mixing matrix of the Dirac-type mass matrix gets extra rotations from the diagonalization of Majorana mass matrix. Assuming that the mixing angles to diagonalize the Majorana mass matrix are extremely small, we find that the large mixing angles of leptonic sector found in atmospheric and long baseline reactor neutrino oscillation experiments can be explained by these extra rotations. We also find that provided the mixing angle around y-axis to diagonalize the Majorana mass matrix vanishes, we can derive the information about the absolute values of neutrino masses and Majorana mass responsible for the neutrinoless double beta decay experiment through the data set of neutrino experiments. In the simplified case that there is no CP phase, we find that the neutrino masses are decided as $m_1:m_2:m_3\approx 1:2:8$ and that there are no solution which satisfy $m_3<m_1<m_2$ (inverted mass spectrum). Then, including all CP phases, we reanalyze the absolute values of neutrino masses and Majorana mass responsible for the neutrinoless double beta decay experiment.

The analog of the Cachazo-Svrvcek-Witten rules for scattering amplitudes with massive quarks is derived following an approach previously employed for amplitudes with massive scalars. A prescription for the external wave-functions is given that leads to a one-to one relation between fields in the action and spin-states of massive quarks. Several examples for the application of the rules are given and the structure of some all-multiplicity amplitudes with a pair of massive quarks is discussed. The rules make supersymmetric relations to amplitudes with massive scalars manifest at the level of the action. The formalism is extended to several quark flavors with different masses.

In this review I give an overview on the conceptual issues involved in the question how to interpret so-called `direct top quark mass measurements', which are based on the kinematic reconstruction of top quark decay products at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). These measurements quote the top mass parameter $m_t^{\rm MC}$ of Monte-Carlo event generators with current uncertainties of around $0.5$ GeV. At present time the problem of finding a rigorous relation between $m_t^{\rm MC}$ and top mass renormalization schemes defined in field theory is unresolved and touches perturbative as well as nonperturbative aspects and the limitations of state-of-the-art Monte-Carlo event generators. I review the status of LHC top mass measurements, illustrate how conceptual limitations enter and explain a controversy that has permeated the community in the context of the interpretation problem. Recent advances in acquiring first principle insights are summarized, and it is outlined what else has to be understood to fully resolve the issue. For the time being, I give a recommendation how to deal with the interpretation problem when making top mass dependent theoretical predictions.

Precision electroweak data presently favors a weakly-coupled Higgs sector as the mechanism responsible for electroweak symmetry breaking. Low-energy supersymmetry provides a natural framework for weakly-coupled elementary scalars. In this review, we summarize the theoretical properties of the Standard Model (SM) Higgs boson and the Higgs sector of the minimal supersymmetric extension of the Standard Model (MSSM). We then survey the phenomenology of the SM and MSSM Higgs bosons at the Tevatron, LHC and a future e+e- linear collider. We focus on the Higgs discovery potential of present and future colliders and stress the importance of precision measurements of Higgs boson properties.

In this paper we apply the formalism of Accelerated Quantum Dynamics (AQD) to the radiative stopping of highly relativistic electrons in ice. We compute the acceleration profile of the electron along with its lifetime to decay into a muon. The Planckian spectrum of the emitted muon along with the its generalized displacement law are presented and used to quantify the muons properties. The results predict the acceleration-induced decay of electrons at IceCube energies. The signal of electron decay at IceCube manifests itself as an excess of track topologies in an energy window accessible experimentally. This setting has the potential to probe the Unruh effect as well investigate the flavor content of cosmic ray neutrinos.

We have discussed the vacuum tunnelling in Friedberg-Lee model. The tunnelling coefficient is derived in the field configuration space by calculating the transition amplitude using the path integral under the stationary phase approximation and the dilute instanton gas approximation. By studying the tunnelling effect between the two degenerating vacuums at the critical temperature and chemical potential, we find that the system could be deconfined by tunnelling, which could possibly change the first order deconfinement phase transition to crossover.

We have discussed the vacuum tunnelling in Friedberg-Lee model. The tunnelling coefficient is derived in the field configuration space by calculating the transition amplitude using the path integral under the stationary phase approximation and the dilute instanton gas approximation. By studying the tunnelling effect between the two degenerating vacuums at the critical temperature and chemical potential, we find that the system could be deconfined by tunnelling, which could possibly change the first order deconfinement phase transition to crossover.

In this paper, we explore the possibility of measuring the complete polarizations of cosmic photons $\gamma$ and the polarizations of cosmic electrons $e^{-}$ and positrons $e^{+}$. Our innovative Vector Meson Photo-production induced polarimetry enables people to measure the circular plarization compoent of a $GeV$ $\gamma$ and to improve its linear polarization measurement, and thus enables people to measure the polarization of $GeV$ $e^{+}/e^{-}$ for the first time. We calculate the production process of $\pi^{+}\pi^{-}$ by a generally polarized photon near nucleon's field in a generalized VPD-SDMEs Factorization with the fitted experimental data, so that it's partially model-independent. We also propose the observables and approach to measure their polarizations based on our calculations. Our new polarimetry of high-energy cosmic $\gamma,e^{+},e^{-}$ will open a new window to reveal the mysteries and solve the puzzles of BSM new physics in particle physics and cosmology.

We examine Crewther's relation at high loop order in perturbative QCD and demonstrate how the relation is accommodated in gauge-parameter dependent schemes where the running of the gauge parameter has to be explicitly considered. Motivated by ensuring that the conformal properties of the relation are preserved at all the critical points of QCD, including the Banks-Zaks and its infra-red stable twin, we demonstrate the necessity of an additional term in the relation for describing gauge running in the minimal momentum subtraction scheme (mMOM) and argue for its inclusion for all gauge-parameter dependent schemes.

In the framework of QCD sum rules one uses a scheme, allowing one to apply the conditions of both nonrelativistic heavy quark motion inside mesons and independence of nonsplitting nS-state density on the heavy quark flavours. In the leading order an analitic expression is derived for leptonic constants of both heavy quarkonia and heavy mesons with a single heavy quark. The expression allows one explicitly to determine scaling properties of the constants.

I discuss how dispersion relations can be used to analyse the nucleon electromagnetic form factors, with particular emphasis on the constraints from unitarity and pQCD. Results for nucleon radii, vector-meson couplings, the onset of pQCD and bounds on the strangeness form factors are presented. The em form factors in the time-like region reveal some interesting physics which is not yet understood in full detail. The need for a better data basis at low, intermediate and large momentum transfer and also in the time-like region is stressed.

We postulate that the orientation of the soft supersymmetry-breaking terms in flavor space is not fixed by tree level physics at the Planck scale; it is a dynamical variable which depends on fields that have no tree level potential. These fields can be thought of as either moduli or as the Nambu-Goldstone bosons of the spontaneously broken flavor symmetry which is non-linearly realized by the soft terms. We show that the soft terms align with the quark and lepton Yukawa couplings, just as spins align with an external magnetic field. As a result, the soft terms conserve individual lepton numbers and do not cause large flavor or CP violations. The vacuum adjusts so as to allow large sparticle splittings to naturally coexist with flavor conservation. Consequently, the resulting phenomenology is different from that of minimal supersymmetric theories. We also propose theories in which the shape of the soft terms in flavor space is a dynamical variable which depends on fields that have no tree level potential. This dynamically leads to partial degeneracy among sparticles and further supression of flavor violations. The ideas of this paper suggest a connection between the space of moduli and the spontaneously broken flavor group.

We provide a complete description of the angular distribution of gluons in a medium-induced QCD cascade. We identify two components in the distribution, a soft component dominated by soft multiple scatterings, and a hard component dominated by a few hard scatterings. The typical angle that marks the boundary between these two components is determined analytically as a function of the energy of the observed gluon and the size of the medium. We construct the complete solution (beyond the diffusion approximation) in the regime where multiple branchings dominate the dynamics of the cascade in the form of a power series in the number of collisions with the medium particles. The coefficients of this expansions are related to the moments of the distribution in the diffusion approximation and are determined analytically. The angular distribution may be useful in phenomenological studies of jet shapes in heavy-ion collisions.

We conjecture that $Z_c^-$(4100) found by LHCb group from a Dalitz plot analysis of $B^0\to \eta_c K^+\pi^-$ decay is the charge conjugate of $Z_1^+$(4050) observed in $\chi_{c1}\pi^+$ distribution from Belle collaboration. Some interesting conclusions are inferred from this assumption. The $Z_2$(4250) would be assigned to be a $J^P = 1^+$ or $1^-$ state because of its absence in $\eta_{c}\pi^-$ invariant mass distribution, while $Z_1^+$(4050)/$Z_c^-$(4100) could be a $0^+$ or $1^-$ state but $2^+$ is unfavored because it would be coupled to $\eta_{c}\pi$ in $D$-wave. The null observation of $Z_1 Z_2$, $Z_1 Z_1$ and $Z_2 Z_2$ production in $e^+ e^-$ annihilation and $\Upsilon(1S,2S)$ decay by Belle collaboration would further allocate the spin parity combination of $Z_1^+$(4050)/$Z_c^-$(4100) and $Z_2$(4250). Our deductions can be used to exclude a set of proposed models and could be further tested by future experiment, e.g. in $\gamma \gamma$ collisions.

The idea of Dark Matter (DM) with self interaction was invoked to resolve a number of discrepancies between the simulation based predictions by collisionless cold DM and the astrophysical observations on galactic and subgalactic scales. Evidences for self interaction would have striking implications for particle nature of DM. In order to reconcile such astrophysical observations for self interaction with particle properties for DM, we consider the general scenario of self interacting Dirac fermionic DM, $\chi$. Also since the exact particle physics model for DM is yet to be probed, we simply adopt the effective model independent framework for DM self interaction which occurs via the most general effective 4-fermion operators invariant under both Lorentz and CPT transformations. From the thorough investigation of the interrelations among the parameters in this framework, namely, the effective DM self couplings ($G_{i}$), DM mass ($m_{\chi}$) and relative velocity ($v_{\rm rel}$), it can be inferred that $G_{i}$ decrease with increasing $m_{\chi}$ for a given DM self interaction strength. Moreover, for few types of effective operators the values of $G_{i}$ fall off with increasing $v_{\rm rel}$ while they remain roughly constant for a wide range of $v_{\rm rel}$ for other cases. In addition, the parameter space in this framework is constrained by the claimed observational results of ${\sigma \over m_{\chi}}$ on cluster scales (Abell 3827, Bullet Cluster) after averaging the DM self interaction cross sections over DM velocity distribution in the cluster. This puts interesting constraints on the values of effective DM self couplings for different fermionic DM masses for various effective operators (scalar, vector, etc.) of DM self interactions in this scenario. Some other implications of DM effective self interaction are also discussed in this model independent framework.

Monte Carlo event generators are an essential tool for data analysis in collider physics. To include subleading quantum corrections, these generators often need to produce negative weight events, which leads to statistical dilution of the datasets and downstream computational costs for detector simulation. Building on the recent proposal of a positive resampler method to rebalance weights within histogram bins, we introduce neural resampling: an unbinned approach to Monte Carlo reweighting based on neural networks that scales well to high-dimensional and variable-dimensional phase space. We pay particular attention to preserving the statistical properties of the event sample, such that neural resampling not only maintains the mean value of any observable but also its Monte Carlo uncertainty. This uncertainty preservation scheme is general and can also be applied to binned (non-neural network) resampling. To illustrate our neural resampling approach, we present a case study from the Large Hadron Collider of top quark pair production at next-to-leading order matched to a parton shower.

In this paper I present a detailed QCD analysis of twist-3 effects in the Wandzura-Wilczek (WW) approximation in deeply virtual Compton scattering (DVCS) observables for various kinematical settings, representing the HERA, HERMES, CLAS and the planned EIC (electron-ion-collider) experiments. I find that the twist-3 effects in the WW approximation are almost always negligible at collider energies but can be large for low Q^2 and smaller x_bj in observables for the lower energy, fixed target experiments directly sensitive to the real part of DVCS amplitudes like the charge asymmetry (CA). Conclusions are then drawn about the reliability of extracting twist-2 generalized parton distributions (GPDs) from experimental data and a first, phenomenological, parameterization of the LO and NLO twist-2 GPD $H$, describing all the currently available DVCS data within the experimental errors is given.

The factorization of amplitudes into hard, soft and collinear parts is known to be violated in situations where incoming particles are collinear to outgoing ones. This result was first derived by studying limits where non-collinear particles become collinear. We show that through an effective field theory framework with Glauber operators, these factorization-violating effects can be reproduced from an amplitude that is factorized before the splitting occurs. We confirm results at one-loop, through single Glauber exchange, and at two-loops, through double Glauber exchange. To approach the calculation, we begin by reviewing the importance of Glauber scaling for factorization. We show that for any situation where initial state and final state particles are not collinear, the Glauber contribution is entirely contained in the soft contribution. The contributions coming from Glauber operators are necessarily non-analytic functions of external momentum, with the non-analyticity arising from the rapidity regulator. The non-analyticity is critical so that Glauber operators can both preserve factorization when it holds and produce factorization-violating effects when they are present.

We show that through an effective field theory framework with Glauber operators, these factorization-violating effects can be reproduced from an amplitude that is factorized before the splitting occurs. We confirm results at one-loop, through single Glauber exchange, and at two-loops, through double Glauber exchange. To approach the calculation, we begin by reviewing the importance of Glauber scaling for factorization. We show that for any situation where initial state and final state particles are not collinear, the Glauber contribution is entirely contained in the soft contribution. The contributions coming from Glauber operators are necessarily non-analytic functions of external momentum, with the non-analyticity arising from the rapidity regulator. The non-analyticity is critical so that Glauber operators can both preserve factorization when it holds and produce factorization-violating effects when they are present.

The NLO QCD calculation for the photoproduction of the isolated photon with a large pT at the HERA ep collider is presented. The single resolved photon contribution and the QCD corrections of order alpha_s to the Born term are consistently included. The NNLO contributions, the box and the double resolved photon subprocesses, are sizeable and are taken into account in addition. The importance of the isolation cut, as well as the influence of other experimental cuts on pT and final photon rapidity distributions are discussed in detail. The investigation of the renormalization scale dependence is performed in order to estimate the size of missing higher order QCD corrections. Results are compared with experimental data and with the prediction of a different NLO calculation.

This paper serves as an update of the previous work entitled ``Heavy-Flavor-Conserving Hadronic Weak Decays of Charmed and Bottom Baryons". We make an improvement on the bag wave functions by removing the center-of-mass motion of the bag. All the baryon matrix elements are now calculated under the same framework without introducing new parameters. The matrix elements of 4-quark operators are found to be nearly twice larger than the previous ones. The calculated branching fractions of $ \Xi_c ^0 \to \Lambda_c ^+\pi^-$ and $\Xi_b^- \to \Lambda^0_b \pi^-$ are both in agreement with current experimental results. For the yet-to-be-measured heavy-flavor-conserving decays, we find ${\cal B}( \Xi_c ^+ \to \Lambda_c ^+\pi^0) = (13.8 \pm 1.4)\times 10^{-3}$, ${\cal B}( \Xi_b^0 \to \Lambda^0_b \pi^0) = (2.6 \pm 0.3)\times 10^{-3}$, ${\cal B}( \Omega_c ^0 \to \Xi_c^+\pi^-) = (2.0 \pm 0.2)\times 10^{-3}$ and ${\cal B}( \Omega_c ^0 \to \Xi_c^0\pi^0)= (1.1 \pm 0.1)\times 10^{-3}$. They are all accessible to LHCb, Belle and Belle II and can be tested in the near future.

The relevant phenomenology and the best search schemes of a subelectroweak-scale gauge boson can be vastly different depending on its coupling. For instance, the rare decay into a light gauge boson and the high precision parity test can be sensitive if it has an axial coupling. The minimal gauge extension of the standard model with the U(1)_{B-L + xY} requires only three right-handed neutrinos, well-suited to the current neutrino mass and mixing data, and no additional exotic matter fields. We study the light gauge boson of this symmetry in detail including its axial coupling property from the hypercharge shift.

We interpret the KARMEN time anomaly as being due to the production of a (dominantly bino) neutralino with mass 33.9 MeV, which is the lightest supersymmetric particle but decays into 3 leptons through the violation of R-parity. For independent gaugino masses M_1 and M_2 we find regions in the (M_1, M_2, mu, tan beta) parameter space where such a light neutralino is consistent with all experiments. Future tests of this hypothesis are outlined.

The factorization properties of the radiative decays B->V gamma are analyzed at leading order in 1/m_b using the soft-collinear effective theory. It is shown that the decay amplitudes can be expressed in terms of a B->V form factor evaluated at q^2=0, light-cone distribution amplitudes of the B and V mesons, and calculable hard-scattering kernels. The renormalization-group equations in the effective theory are solved to resum perturbative logarithms of the different scales in the decay process. Phenomenological implications for the B->K* gamma branching ratio, isospin asymmetry, and CP asymmetries are discussed, with particular emphasis on possible effects from physics beyond the Standard Model.

We consider particle production in high energy pA collisions. In addition to the coherent interactions with the nuclear color field, we take into account coherent interactions with the nuclear electromagnetic Coulomb field. Employing the dipole model, we sum up the leading multiple color and electromagnetic interactions and derive inclusive cross sections for photon and dilepton production. We found that the Coulomb corrections are up to $10\%$ at $\sqrt{s}=200$~GeV per nucleon.

Employing the Schwinger's proper-time method, we calculate the $<\bar{\psi} \psi>$-condensate for massive Dirac fermions of charge $e$ interacting with a uniform magnetic field in a heat bath. We present general results for arbitrary hierarchy of the energy scales involved, namely, the fermion mass $m$, the magnetic field strength $\sqrt{eB}$ and temperature $T$. Moreover, we study particular regimes in detail and reproduce some of the results calculated or anticipated earlier in the literature. We also discuss possible applications of our findings.

We show that the signature of two boosted $W$-jets plus large missing energy is very promising to probe heavy charged resonances ($X^\pm$) through the process of $pp\to X^+X^-\to W^+W^- X^0 X^0$ where $X^0$ denotes dark matter candidate. The hadronic decay mode of the $W$ boson is considered to maximize the number of signal events. When the mass split between $X^\pm$ and $X^0$ is large, one has to utilize the jet-substructure technique to analyze the boosted $W$-jet. For illustration we consider the process of chargino pair production at the LHC, i.e., $pp\to \chi_1^+\chi^-_1 \to W^+W^-\chi_1^0\chi_1^0$, and demonstrate that the proposed signature is able to cover more parameter space of $m_{\chi_1^\pm}$ and $m_{\chi_1^0}$ than the conventional signature of multiple leptons plus missing energy. More importantly, the signature of our interests is not sensitive to the spin of heavy resonances.

The mechanism by which a resonance may be attracted to a sharp threshold is described with several examples. It involves a threshold cusp interfering constructively with either or both (i) a resonance produced via confinement, (ii) attractive t- and u-channel exchanges. More generally, it is suggested that resonances are eigenstates generated by mixing between confined states and long-range meson and baryon exchanges.

We make a complete analysis of the Yukawa coupling unification in SU(5) extensions of the MSSM in the framework of the radiative symmetry breaking scenario. Both logarithmic and finite threshold corrections of sparticles have been included in the determination of the gauge and Yukawa couplings at M_Z. The effect of the heavy masses of each model in the renormalization group equations is also included. We find that in the minimal SU(5) model b-tau Yukawa unification can be achieved for too large a value of alpha_s. On the other hand the Peccei-Quinn version of the Missing Doublet model, with the effect of the right handed neutrino also included, exhibits b-tau unification in excellent agreement with all low energy experimental data. Unification of all Yukawa couplings is also discussed.

In this work, a three-quark picture is constructed using a bottom-up approach for baryons in light-front quark model. The shape parameters, which characterize the momentum distribution inside a baryon, are determined with the help of the pole residue of the baryon. The relation between the three-quark picture and the diquark picture is clarified. When building the model, we find that Lorentz boost plays a crucial role, and the bottom-up modeling approach can be generalized to multiquark states. Based on this, a unified theoretical framework for describing multiquark states may be established. As a by-product of model construction, we can easily obtain a newly improved definition of baryon interpolating current. The hadron interpolating currents are the starting point of Lattice QCD and QCD sum rules, and therefore are of great importance.

The Peccei-Quinn scale is predicted to be around 10^{15}GeV for reproducing the large-scale density perturbation of the Universe. After the built-in late-time entropy-production process, the axion becomes a dark matter candidate. Several cosmological implications are discussed.

The total width $\Gamma(P_c)=14.32\pm3.31\,\rm{MeV}$ is compatible with the experimental value $\Gamma_{P_c(4312)} = 9.8\pm2.7^{+ 3.7}_{- 4.5} \mbox{ MeV}$ from the LHCb collaboration, and favors assigning the $P_c(4312)$ to be the $[ud][uc]\bar{c}$ pentaquark state with the $J^P={\frac{1}{2}}^-$. The hadronic coupling constants have the relation $|G_{PD^-\Sigma_c^{++}}|= \sqrt{2}|G_{P\bar{D}^0\Sigma_c^+}|\gg |G_{P\bar{D}^0\Lambda_c^+}|$, and favor the hadronic dressing mechanism.

An insightful way of presenting the LHC limits on dijet resonances is the coupling-mass plot for a $Z'$ boson that has flavor-independent quark interactions. This also illustrates the comparison of low-mass LHC sensitivity with constraints on the flavor-independent $Z'$ boson from electroweak and quarkonium measurements. To derive these constraints, we compute the $Z'$ mixing with the $Z$, the photon, and the $\Upsilon$ meson, emphasizing the logarithmic dependence on the masses of the new electroweak-charged fermions (``anomalons") required to cancel the gauge anomalies. We update the coupling-mass plot, extending it for $Z'$ masses from 5 GeV to 5 TeV.

In the context of the minimal left-right symmetric model, we study the interplay between current and future neutrinoless double beta ($0\nu\beta\beta$) decay experiments, long-lived particle searches at the LHC main detectors ATLAS/CMS, and the proposed far detector MATHUSLA. The heavy Majorana neutrino can be produced in association with an electron from the decay of $W$ boson for a non-zero left-right mixing and subsequently decays into another electron with the same charge and jets. Owing to the suppression of large right-handed charged gauge boson $W_R$ mass, the heavy neutrinos could be long-lived. We show that long-lived particle (LLP) searches for heavy Majorana neutrinos in the same-sign dilepton channel at the LHC can be used to extend $W_R$ boson mass reach relative to the reach of the Keung-Senjanovic (KS) process. Finally, we show that sensitivities of LLP searches at the high-luminosity LHC with main detectors ATLAS/CMS are competitive with those of future $0\nu\beta\beta$ decay searches.

We consider the effect of the transitions $n \to \Delta^{0}$ and $p \to \Delta^{+}$ in deep inelastic scattering on polarized $^3$He on the extraction of the neutron spin structure function $g_{1}^{n}(x,Q^2)$. Making the natural assumption that these transitions are the dominant non-nucleonic contributions to the renormalization of the axial vector coupling constant in the A=3 system, we find that the effect of $\Delta$ increases $g_{1}^{n}(x,Q^2)$ by $10 \div 40$% in the range $0.05 \le x \le 0.6$, where our considerations are applicable and most of the data for $g_{1}^{n}(x,Q^2)$ exist.

We briefly discuss the status of double parton scattering (DPS) on both theoretical and experimental sides and summarize the state of the naive DPS model, where the scatterers are taken completely independent. We then elaborate on some of the effects which are neglected in such an approach, and often ignored in phenomenological studies, with focus on polarization - which arises from the correlation between the spin of two partons inside a proton. Polarization is of particular interest, thanks to its direct and calculable connections to the distribution of particles in the final state. Although the physics described is different, there are strong similarities between polarization in DPS and in single partons scattering with measured transverse momentum, and several of the techniques and results from studies of transverse momentum dependent parton distributions can be translated into the setting of double parton scattering.

In these proceedings, we discuss the role of heavy quark mass on the formation of parton showers. Mass effects are not well understood when parton branching occurs in nuclear matter, such as the quark-gluon plasma. Recently, a theoretically consistent picture of open heavy flavor production in ultra relativistic nuclear collisions has begun to emerge based on effective theories of QCD, such as soft collinear effective theory with Glauber gluons. We show that implementation of in-medium splitting processes containing heavy quarks into next-to-leading order calculations of heavy flavor production leads to larger cross section suppression when compared to traditional energy loss phenomenology. To better constrain the important mass dependence of in-medium splitting functions, we propose a new measurement in relativistic heavy ion collisions, based on a two-prong structure inside a reconstructed heavy flavor jet. In the region of jet transverse momenta where parton mass effects are leading, we predict a unique reversal of the mass hierarchy of jet quenching effects in heavy ion relative to proton collisions. We find that the momentum sharing distribution of prompt $b$-tagged jets is more strongly modified in comparison to the one for light jets. The work summarized here opens new directions of research on the substructure of heavy flavor jets.

The experimental searches for diffuse supernova neutrino background and proton decay in next-generation large liquid-scintillator (LS) detectors are competitive with and complementary to those in the water-Cherenkov detectors. In this paper, we carry out a systematic study of the dominant background induced by atmospheric neutrinos via their neutral-current (NC) interactions with the $^{12}{\rm C}$ nuclei in the LS detectors. The atmospheric neutrino fluxes at the location of Jiangmen Underground Neutrino Observatory (JUNO) are used, as the JUNO detector is obviously a suitable representative for future LS detectors. Then, we implement the sophisticated generators \texttt{GENIE} and \texttt{NuWro} to simulate the neutrino interactions with the carbon nuclei, and the package \texttt{TALYS} to deal with the deexcitations of final-state nuclei. Finally, the event rates for the production of additional nucleons, $\gamma$'s, $\alpha$'s, pions and kaons are obtained and categorized, and the systematic uncertainty of the NC background represented by a variety of data-driven nuclear models is estimated. The implications of the NC background from atmospheric neutrinos for the detection of diffuse supernova neutrino background and proton decay are also discussed.

In the two correlated $B$ meson decay experiment we propose to measure intensities relating CP eigenstate ($J/\psi K_{S,L}$) decays on $both$ sides, which will be measurable in future upgrades of KEK and PEP. As a CP-forbidden transition, we obtain $I(J/\psi K_S, J/\psi K_S, \Delta t) \sim \sin ^2 (2\beta)$. We calculate in a model independent way all the possible intensities relating final CP and flavour eigenstate decays. Under CPT-invariance, the asymmetries for processes related by CP$\Delta t$ vanish for $\Delta \Gamma =0$ and measure $\Delta \Gamma$ linearly. We notice the impossibility to isolate the sign of $\cos (2\bet a)$ without an independent knowledge of the sign of $\Delta \Gamma$. This exhaustion of the possible Golden Plate and flavour decays provides new observables which may throw light in our present understanding of CKM physics.

In this report we present simulated event numbers, for various MC generators, for pion production in $\nu_{\mu}$ CC reactions on $\nucl{16}{O}$. For the simulation we used four different neutrino interaction generators: GENIE, FLUKA, NEUT, and NuWro, as proposed during the 45th Karpacz Winter School on neutrino interactions. First we give a brief outline of the theoretical models relevant to pion production. We then present results, in the form of tables showing the occupancy of primary and final state pion topologies, for all the generated samples. Finally we compare the results from the different generators and draw conclusions about the similarities and differences. For some of the generators we explore the effect of varying the axial mass parameter or the use of a different nuclear model.

We study the phase structure of a 4-fermi model with three bare coupling constants, which potentially has three types of bound states. This model is a generalization of the model discussed previously by A. Chodos et al. [Phys. Rev. D 61, 045011 (2000)], which contained both chiral condensates and Cooper pairs. For this generalization we find that there are two independent renormalized coupling constants which determine the phase structure at finite density and temperature. We find that the vacuum can be in one of three distinct phases depending on the value of these two renormalized coupling constants.

The LHC collaborations have recently announced evidence for the production of a "Higgs--like" boson with mass near 125 GeV. The properties of the new particle are consistent (within still quite large uncertainties) with those of the Higgs boson predicted in the Standard Model (SM). This discovery comes nearly ten years after a combined analysis of the four LEP experiments showed a mild excess of Higgs--like events with a mass near 98 GeV. I show that both groups of events can be explained simultaneously in the minimal supersymmetric extension of the SM, in terms of the production and decay of the two neutral CP--even Higgs bosons predicted by this model, and explore the phenomenological consequences of this explanation.

We point out that in non supersymmetric GUTs, in which the SU(5) gauge symmetry is broken down to the Standard Model gauge group by a $\mathbf{24}$ Higgs multiplet the Appelquist-Carazzone decoupling is violated. This is because the $SU(2)_L$ Higgs triplet contained in the $\mathbf{24}$ acquires a dimensionfull coupling to the $SU(2)_L$ Higgs doublets which is proportional to the GUT breaking vacuum expectation value (VEV) $V$. As a result, at one loop heavy gauge and Higgs fields contribution to tadpoles generate a VEV of the triplet which is not suppressed for $V\to\infty$ and violates the custodial symmetry.

We review a Soft Collinear Effective Theory approach to the study of factorization and resummation of QCD effects in top-quark pair production. In particular, we consider differential cross sections such as the top-quark pair invariant mass distribution and the top-quark transverse momentum and rapidity distributions. Furthermore, we focus our attention on the large invariant mass and large transverse momentum kinematic regions, characteristic of boosted top quarks. We discuss the factorization of the differential cross section in the double soft gluon emission and small top-quark mass limit, both in Pair Invariant Mass (PIM) and One Particle Inclusive (1PI) kinematics. The factorization formulas can be employed in order to implement the simultaneous resummation of soft emission and small mass effects up to next-to-next-to-leading logarithmic accuracy. The results are also used to construct improved next-to-next-to-leading order approximations for the differential cross sections.

The suppression of hadron production originated from the induced jet energy loss is one of the most accepted and well understood phenomena in heavy ion collisions, which indicates the formation of color deconfined matter consists of quarks, antiquarks and gluons. This phenomena has been seen at RHIC energies and now the first LHC results display a very similar effect. In fact, the suppression is so close to each other at 200 AGeV and 2.76 ATeV, that it is interesting to investigate if such a suppression pattern can exist at all. We use the Gyulassy-Levai-Vitev description of induced jet energy loss combined with different nuclear shadowing functions and describe the experimental data. We claim that a consistent picture can be obtained for the produced hot matter with a weak nuclear shadowing. The interplay between nuclear shadowing and jet energy loss playes a crucial role in the understanding of the experimental data.

The effects of virtual light quark pairs on the charmonium spectrum are studied. Pair creation is modelled with a ``$^{3}P_{0}$" vertex and intermediate states are summed up to 2S excitations. Quark model parameters are obtained by fitting to 12 well-known charmonium states, allowing for feedback between the decaying particle and the induced mass shifts. Both of these technical steps are new and improve agreement with the experimental spectrum. In general, the masses receive small shifts once model parameters are refit. This is true in almost cases except the $\chi_{cJ}(2P)$ multiplet, which experiences upwards mass shifts of order 150 MeV, has the ordering of the multiplet rearranged, and pushes the erstwhile $c\bar{c}$ ${2}^3P_1$ state well above $D^*\bar{D}$ threshold--observations that clarify the nature of the enigmatic $X(3872)$

The thermal leptogenesis in brane world cosmology is studied. In brane world cosmology, the expansion law is modified from the four-dimensional standard cosmological one at high temperature regime in the early universe. As a result, the well-known upper bound on the lightest light neutrino mass induced by the condition for the out-of-equilibrium decay of the lightest heavy neutrino, $\tilde{m}_1 \lesssim 10^{-3}$ eV, can be moderated to be $\tilde{m}_1 \lesssim 10^{-3} {eV} \times (M_1/T_t)^2 $ in the case of $T_t \leq M_1$ with the lightest heavy neutrino mass ($M_1$) and the ``transition temperature'' ($T_t$), at which the modified expansion law in brane world cosmology is smoothly connecting with the standard one. This implies that the degenerate mass spectrum of the light neutrinos can be consistent with the thermal leptogenesis scenario. Furthermore, as recently pointed out, the gravitino problem in supersymmetric case can be solved if the transition temperature is low enough $T_t \lesssim 10^{6-7}$ GeV. Therefore, even in the supersymmetric case, thermal leptogenesis scenario can be successfully realized in brane world cosmology.

We try to find the relation between the three-flavor Nambu-Jona-Lasinio model and QCD based on the hypothesis that the gluon momenta are sharply condensed around the QCD scale, \mu_g. We find that the effective four- and six-fermion interactions, G_4 and G_6, should be scaled by G_4 proportional to \mu_g^(-2) and G_6 proportional to \mu_g^(-5) being consistent with the mass dimension counting in the obtained effective Lagrangian. We then study the \mu_g dependence on the phase diagram of the chiral phase transition at finite temperature and chemical potential and the location of the critical point. We find that the location of the critical point are sensitively affected by the value of the introduced gluon energy scale.

Exploiting $B$-meson decays for Standard Model tests and beyond requires a precise understanding of the strong final-state interactions that can be provided model-independently by means of dispersion theory. This formalism allows one to deduce the universal pion-pion final-state interactions from the accurately known $\pi\pi$ phase shifts and, in the scalar sector, a coupled-channel treatment with the kaon-antikaon system. In this work an analysis of the decays $\bar B_d^0 \to J/\psi \pi^+\pi^-$ and $\bar B_s^0 \to J/\psi \pi^+\pi^-$ is presented. We find very good agreement with the data up to 1.05 GeV with a number of parameters reduced significantly compared to a phenomenological analysis. In addition, the phases of the amplitudes are correct by construction, a crucial feature when it comes to studies of $CP$ violation in heavy-meson decays.

In a class of the gauge-Higgs unification models the 4D neutral Higgs boson, which is a part of the extra-dimensional component of the gauge fields, becomes absolutely stable as a consequence of the gauge invariance and dynamically generated new parity, serving as a promising candidate for cold dark matter (CDM). We show that the observed relic abundance of cold dark matter is obtained in the SO(5) x U(1) model in the warped space with the Higgs mass around 70 GeV. The Higgs-nucleon scattering cross section is found to be close to the current CDMS II and XENON10 bounds in the direct detection of dark matter.

In a recent paper on SU(16) grand unification, because of the presence of intermediate-energy gauge groups containing products of U(1) factors which are not orthogonal among themselves, the renormalization-group treatment has a few small errors. I correct it. I emphasize that one should not switch gauge couplings at the various thresholds. It is easier, and it avoids errors, to use throughout the gauge couplings of the standard model, and compute at each threshold, in the usual way, the extra contributions to the beta functions from the extra non-decoupled fields. I also point out that the SU(16) grand unification theory, due to the large number of scalars present in it, is not asymptotically free. It becomes a strong-coupling theory at energies only slightly larger than the unification scale.

We consider a model in which Goldstone bosons, described by a SU(N) chiral nonlinear sigma model, are coupled to an N-plet of colored fermions by means of a Yukawa interaction. We study the one-loop renormalization group flow and show that the non-Gaussian UV fixed point, which is present in the purely bosonic model, is lost because of fermion loop effects unless N is sufficiently large. We then add four-fermion contact interactions to the lagrangian and show that in this case there exist several non-Gaussian fixed points. The strength of the contact interactions, predicted by the requirement that the theory flows towards a fixed point in the UV, is compared to the current experimental bounds. This toy model could provide an important building block of an asymptotically safe model of the weak interactions.

A new precision measurement of the $W$ boson mass has been announced by the CDF collaboration, which strongly deviates from the Standard Model prediction. In this article, we study the implications of this measurement on the parameter space of the $SU(2)_L$ triplet extension (with hypercharge $Y=1$) of the Standard Model Higgs sector, focusing on a limit where the new triplet is approximate $\mathbb{Z}_2$-odd while the SM is $\mathbb{Z}_2$-even. We study the compatibility of the triplet spectrum preferred by the $W$ boson mass measured by the CDF-II experiment with other electroweak precision observables and Higgs precision data. We comprehensively consider the signals of new Higgs states at the LHC and highlighted the promising search channels. In addition, we also investigate the cosmological implications of the case in which the lightest new Higgs particle is either late decaying or cosmologically stable.

We investigate the geometry of a critical system undergoing a second order thermal phase transition. Using a local description for the dynamics characterizing the system at the critical point T=Tc, we reveal the formation of clusters with fractal geometry, where the term cluster is used to describe regions with a nonvanishing value of the order parameter. We show that, treating the cluster as an open subsystem of the entire system, new instanton-like configurations dominate the statistical mechanics of the cluster. We study the dependence of the resulting fractal dimension on the embedding dimension and the scaling properties (isothermal critical exponent) of the system. Taking into account the finite size effects we are able to calculate the size of the critical cluster in terms of the total size of the system, the critical temperature and the effective coupling of the long wavelength interaction at the critical point. We also show that the size of the cluster has to be identified with the correlation length at criticality. Finally, within the framework of the mean field approximation, we extend our local considerations to obtain a global description of the system.

We give a brief overview of nuclear parton distributions. First, the EMC effect is discussed together with possible interpretations such as nuclear binding and $Q^2$ rescaling. Next, we explain shadowing descriptions: vector-meson-dominance-type and parton-recombination models. Nuclear dependence of $Q^2$ evolution should be interesting in testing whether or not DGLAP equations could be applied to nuclear structure functions. Status of nuclear sea-quark and gluon distributions is discussed. The structure function $b_1$, which will be measured at HERMES and possibly at ELFE, could shed light on a new aspect of high-energy spin physics.

If the neutrinos are Dirac particles, and if the active neutrinos' sterile partners were once thermalized in the early universe, then this new cosmological relic would simultaneously contribute to the effective number of relativistic species, $\Delta N_\text{eff}$, and also lead to a correlation between the cosmologically-measured effective sterile neutrino mass $m_{\nu,\text{sterile}}^\text{eff}$ and the terrestrially-measured active neutrino mass sum $\Sigma m_\nu$. We emphasize that specifically correlated deviations in $\Delta N_\text{eff}\gtrsim 3$, $m_{\nu,\text{sterile}}^\text{eff}$ and $\Sigma m_\nu$ above their standard predictions could be the harbinger revealing the Dirac nature of neutrinos. We provide several benchmark examples, including Dirac leptogenesis, that predict a thermal relic population of the sterile partners, and we discuss the relevant observational prospects with current and near-future experiments. If the correlation highlighted in this work is observed in future surveys, it could be interpreted as supporting evidence of Dirac neutrino masses.

The Matter-Neutrino Resonance (MNR) phenomenon has the potential to significantly alter the flavor content of neutrinos emitted from compact object mergers. We present the first calculations of MNR transitions using neutrino self interaction potentials and matter potentials generated selfconsistently from a dynamical model of a three-dimensional neutron star merger. In the context of the single angle approximation, we find that Symmetric and Standard MNR transitions occur in both normal and inverted hierarchy scenarios. We examine the spatial regions above the merger remnant where propagating neutrinos will encounter the matter neutrino resonance and find that a significant fraction of the neutrinos are likely to undergo MNR transitions.

We show how the functional renormalization group can be applied to a study of chiral symmetry breaking in QCD. We discuss the running gauge coupling at finite temperature for QCD. For scales smaller than the corresponding temperature, the coupling is governed by a fixed point of the 3-dimensional theory. Chiral symmetry breaking is approached if the running coupling drives the quark sector to criticality. We analyze the phase boundary in the plane of temperature and number of flavors. For small flavor-numbers, we find good agreement with lattice results. For flavor numbers near the critical flavor number, we find that the scaling of the critical temperature is determined by the zero-temperature IR critical exponent of the running coupling.

We use the antenna subtraction method to isolate the double real radiation infrared singularities present in gluonic scattering amplitudes at next-to-next-to-leading order. The antenna subtraction framework has been successfully applied to the calculation of NNLO corrections to the 3-jet cross section and related event shape distributions in electron-positron annihilation. Here we consider processes with two coloured particles in the initial state, and in particular two-jet production at hadron colliders such as the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). We construct a subtraction term that describes the single and double unresolved contributions from the six-gluon tree-level process using antenna functions with initial state partons and show numerically that the subtraction term correctly approximates the matrix elements in the various single and double unresolved configurations.

We present a general formalism for simplifying manipulations of spin indices of massless and massive spinors and vectors in Feynman diagrams. The formalism is based on covariantly reducing the number of field components in the action in favor of chiral/self-dual fields. In this paper we concentrate on calculational simplifications involving fermions in gauge theories by eliminating half of the components of Dirac spinors. Some results are: (1) We find reference momenta for massless fermions analogous to those used for external gauge bosons. (2) Many of the known supersymmetry identities (tree and one-loop) are seen in a simple manner from the graphs. (3) Manipulations with external line factrs for massive fermions are unnecessary. (4) Some of the simplifications for nearly maximally helicity violating gluonic amplitudes are built into the Feynman rules.

We consider QCD radiative corrections to Higgs boson pair production through gluon fusion in proton collisions. We combine the exact next-to-leading order (NLO) contribution, which features two-loop virtual amplitudes with the full dependence on the top quark mass $M_t$, with the next-to-next-to-leading order (NNLO) corrections computed in the large-$M_t$ approximation. The latter are improved with different reweighting techniques in order to account for finite-$M_t$ effects beyond NLO. Our reference NNLO result is obtained by combining one-loop double-real corrections with full $M_t$ dependence with suitably reweighted real--virtual and double-virtual contributions evaluated in the large-$M_t$ approximation. We present predictions for inclusive cross sections in $pp$ collisions at $\sqrt{s}$=13, 14, 27 and 100TeV and we discuss their uncertainties due to missing $M_t$ effects. Our approximated NNLO corrections increase the NLO result by an amount ranging from +12% at $\sqrt{s}$=13TeV to +7% at $\sqrt{s}$=100TeV, and the residual uncertainty from missing $M_t$ effects is estimated to be at the few percent level. Our calculation is fully differential in the Higgs boson pair and the associated jet activity: we also present predictions for various differential distributions at $\sqrt{s}$=14 and 100TeV. Our results represent the most advanced perturbative prediction available to date for this process.

We compute the SUSY effective hamiltonian that describes the |\Delta S|=1 semileptonic decays of tau leptons. We provide analytical expressions for supersymmetric contribution to tau --> u bar{s} nu_{tau} transition in mass insertion approximation. We show that SUSY contributions may enhance the CP asymmetry of tau --> K pi nu_{tau} decays by several orders of magnitude than the standard model expectations. However, the resulting asymmetry is still well below the current experimental limits obtained by CLEO collaborations. We emphasize that measuring CP rate asymmetry in this decay larger than 10^{-6} would be a clear evidence of physics beyond the supersymmetric extensions of the standard model.

Due to the presence of the triangle singularity (TS) in the rescattering amplitudes, the TS peaks can simulate the pentaquark-like resonances arising in the $J/\psi p$ invariant mass distributions, which may bring ambiguities on our understanding of the nature of the exotic states. Searching for the heavy pentaquark in different processes may help us to clarify the ambiguities, because of the highly process-dependent characteristic of the TS mechanism.

Supersymmetric theories generally have new flavor and CP violation sources in the squark and slepton mass matrices. They will contribute to the lepton flavor violation processes, such as $\mu \to e \gamma$, which can be probed far below the current bound with an intense muon source at the front end of the muon collider. In addition, if sleptons can be produced at the muon collider, the flavor violation can occur at their production and decay, allowing us to probe the flavor mixing structure directly. Asymmetry between numbers of $\mu^+ e^-$ and $e^+ \mu^-$ events will be a sign for CP violation in supersymmetric flavor mixing.

Thermodynamic properties of strange quark matter (SQM) in a nonuniform magnetic field are studied within the phenomenological MIT bag model under the charge neutrality and beta equilibrium conditions, relevant to the interior of strange quark stars. The spatial dependence of the magnetic field strength is modeled by the dependence on the baryon chemical potential in the exponential and power forms. The total energy density, longitudinal and transverse pressures in magnetized SQM are found as functions of the baryon chemical potential. It is clarified that the central magnetic field strength in a strange quark star is bound from above by the critical value at which the derivative of the longitudinal pressure with respect to the baryon chemical potential vanishes first somewhere in the interior of a star under varying the central field. Above this upper bound, the instability along the magnetic field is developed in magnetized SQM. The change in the form of the dependence of the magnetic field strength on the baryon chemical potential between the exponential and power ones has a nonnegligible effect on the critical magnetic field strength while the variation of the bag pressure within the absolute stability window for magnetized SQM has a little effect on the critical field.

Thermodynamic properties of strange quark matter (SQM) in a nonuniform magnetic field are studied within the phenomenological MIT bag model under the charge neutrality and beta equilibrium conditions, relevant to the interior of strange quark stars. The spatial dependence of the magnetic field strength is modeled by the dependence on the baryon chemical potential in the exponential and power forms. The total energy density, longitudinal and transverse pressures in magnetized SQM are found as functions of the baryon chemical potential. It is clarified that the central magnetic field strength in a strange quark star is bound from above by the critical value at which the derivative of the longitudinal pressure with respect to the baryon chemical potential vanishes first somewhere in the interior of a star under varying the central field.

We re-examine CP violation in the Delta S = 0 decays tau -> N pi nu_tau (N=2,3,4). We assume that the new physics (NP) is a charged Higgs. We show that there is no NP contribution to tau -> pi pi nu_tau, which means that no CP violation is expected in this decay. On the other hand, NP can contribute to tau -> N pi nu_tau (N=3,4). These are dominated by the intermediate resonant decays tau -> omega pi nu_tau, tau -> rho pi nu_tau and tau -> a_1 pi nu_tau. We show that the only sizeable CP-violating effects which are possible are in tau -> a_1 pi nu_tau -> 4 pi nu_tau (polarization-dependent rate asymmetry) and tau -> omega pi nu_tau (triple-product asymmetry).

We investigate the prospect of searching for new physics via the novel signature of same-sign diboson + ${E\!\!/}_{T}$ at current and future LHC. We study three new physics models: (i) natural SUSY models, (ii) type-III seesaw model and (iii) type-II seesaw/Georgi-Machacek model. In the first two class of models, this signature arises due to the presence of a singly-charged particle which has lifetime long enough to escape detection, while in the third model this signature originates resonantly from a doubly-charged particle produced along with two forward jets that, most likely, would escape detection. We analyze in great detail the discovery prospects of the signal in these three classes of models in the current as well as the upcoming runs of the LHC (such as HL-LHC, HE-LHC and FCC-hh) by showing a distinction among these scenarios.

The impact of the form of the hadron potential at large distances on the behaviour of the hadron spin-flip amplitude at small angles is examined. The $t$-dependence of the spin-flip amplitude of high energy hadron elastic scattering is analyzed under different assumptions on the hadron interaction. It is shown that the long tail of the non-Gaussian form of the hadron potential of the hadron interaction in the impact parameter representation leads to a large value of the slope of the spin-flip amplitude (without the kinematical factor $\sqrt{|t|}$) as compared with the slope of the spin-non-flip amplitude. This effect can explain the form of the differential cross section and the analyzing power at small transfer momenta. The methods for the definition of the spin-dependent part of the hadron scattering amplitude are presented. A possibility to investigate the structure of the hadron spin-flip amplitude from the accurate measure of the differential cross section and the spin correlation parameters is shown.

A brief review to string and parton percolation is presented. After a short introduction, the main consequences of percolation of color sources on the following observables in A-A collisions: $J/\psi$ suppression, saturation of the multiplicity, dependence on the centrality of the transverse momentum fluctuations, Cronin effect and transverse momentum distributions, strength of the two and three body Bose-Einstein correlations and forward-backward multiplicity correlations, are presented. The behaviour of all of them can be naturally explained by the clustering of color sources and the dependence of the fluctuations of the number of these clusters on the density.

We present the NNLO corrections to top pair production in the quark-antiquark channel proportional to the number of light quark flavors $N_l$. While the double real corrections were derived previously, here we compute the real-virtual and virtual-virtual contributions in this partonic channel. Using the antenna subtraction formalism, we show that the subtraction terms correctly approximate the real-virtual contributions in all their infrared limits. Combined with the integrated forms of the double real and real-virtual subtraction terms, we show analytically that the explicit infrared poles cancel at the real-virtual and virtual-virtual levels respectively, thereby demonstrating the validity of the massive extension of the NNLO antenna formalism. These NNLO corrections are implemented in a Monte Carlo parton level generator providing full kinematical information on an event-by event basis. With this program, NNLO differential distributions in the form of binned histograms are obtained and presented here.
