The Earth's density distribution can be approximately considered piecewise continuous at the scale of two-flavor oscillations of neutrinos with energies about 1 MeV. This quite general assumption appears to be enough to analytically calculate the day-night asymmetry factor. Using the explicit time averaging procedure, we show that, within the leading-order approximation, this factor is determined by the electron density immediately before the detector, i.e. in the Earth's crust. Within the approximation chosen, the resulting asymmetry factor does not depend either on the properties of the inner Earth's layers or on the substance and the dimensions of the detector. For beryllium neutrinos, we arrive at the asymmetry factor estimation of about $-4 \times 10^{-4}$, which is at least one order of magnitude beyond the present experimental resolution, including that of the Borexino experiment.

We summarize the phase diagrams of SU, SO and Sp gauge theories as function of the number of flavors, colors, and matter representation as well as the ones of phenomenologically relevant chiral gauge theories such as the Bars-Yankielowicz and the generalized Georgi-Glashow models. We finally report on the intriguing possibility of the existence of gauge-duals for nonsupersymmetric gauge theories and the impact on their conformal window.

We discuss the lepton sector of a realistic string-inspired model based on the Pati-Salam $SU(4)\times SU(2)_L \times SU(2)_R$ gauge group supplemented by a U(1) family symmetry. The model involves third family Yukawa unification, predicts large $\tan \beta\sim 50$, and describes all fermion masses and mixing angles, including approximate bi-maximal mixing in the neutrino sector. Atmospheric neutrino mixing is achieved via a large 23 entry in the neutrino Yukawa matrix which can have important phenomenological effects. We find that the recent BNL result on the muon ($g-2$) can be easily accommodated in a large portion of the SUSY parameter space of this model. Over this region of parameter space the model predicts a CP-even Higgs mass near 115 GeV, and a rate for $\tau\to \mu\gamma$ which is close to its current experimental limit.

We point out that in scenarios with a low reheating temperature $T_R << 100$ MeV at the end of (the last episode of) inflation or entropy production, the abundance of sterile neutrinos becomes largely independent of their coupling to active neutrinos. Thus, cosmological bounds become less stringent than usually assumed, allowing sterile neutrinos to be ``visible'' in future experiments. For example, the sterile neutrino required by the LSND result does not have any cosmological problem within these scenarios.

Theory uncertainties on non-local hadronic effects limit the New Physics discovery potential of the rare decays $B\to K^*\mu^+\mu^-$. We investigate prospects to disentangle New Physics effects in the short-distance coefficients from these effects. Our approach makes use of an event-by-event amplitude analysis, and relies on the state of the art parametrisation of the non-local contributions. We find that non-standard effects in the short-distance coefficients can be successfully disentangled from non-local hadronic effects. The impact of the truncation on the parametrisation of non-local contributions to the Wilson coefficients are for the first time systematically examined and prospects for its precise determination are discussed. We find that physical observables are unaffected by these uncertainties. Compared to other methods, our approach provides for a more precise extraction of the angular observables from data.

We provide a brief introduction to the high density effective theory of QCD. As an application, we consider the instanton correction to the perturbatively generated gap in the color superconducting phase. We show that the instanton correction becomes large for mu = 1.25 GeV in N_f=2 QCD, and for mu = 750 MeV in N_f=3 QCD with a massive strange quark. We also study some other numerical issues related to the magnitude of the gap. We find, in particular, that a renormalization group improved gap equation does not give results that are substantially different from a gap equation with a fixed coupling.

High-precision measurements of the relic dark matter density and the calculation of dark matter annihilation branching fractions in the sun or the galactic halo today motivate the computation of the neutralino annihilation cross section beyond leading order. We consider neutralino annihilation via squark exchange and parameterize the effective annihilation vertex as a dimension-six operator suppressed by two powers of the squark mass and related to the divergence of the axial vector current of the final-state quarks. Since the axial vector current is conserved at tree level in the limit of massless quarks, this dimension-six operator contains a suppression by the quark mass. The quark mass suppression can be lifted in two ways: (1) by corrections to the dimension-six operator involving the anomalous triangle diagram, and (2) by going to dimension-eight. We address the first of these possibilities by evaluating the anomalous triangle diagram, which contributes to neutralino annihilation to gluon pairs. We relate the triangle diagram via the anomaly equation to the decay of a pseudoscalar into two gluons and use the Adler-Bardeen theorem to extract the next-to-leading order (NLO) QCD corrections to chi chi --> gg from the known corrections to pseudoscalar decay. The strong dependence of the dominant chi chi --> q qbar cross section on the relative velocity of the neutralinos makes these NLO corrections unimportant at chi decoupling but significant today.

In this paper we develop an approach to soft scattering processes at high energies,which is based on two mechanisms: Good-Walker mechanism for low mass diffractionand multi-Pomeron interactions for high mass diffraction. The pricipal idea, that allows us to specify the theory for Pomeron interactions, is that the so called soft processes occur at rather short distances ($r^2 \propto 1 /<p_t>^2 \propto \alpha'_\pom \approx 0.01 GeV^{-2}$), where perturbative QCD is valid. The value of the Pomeron slope $\alpha'_\pom $ was obtained from the fit to experimental data. Using this theoretical approach we suggest a model that fits all soft data in the ISR-Tevatron energy range, the total, elastic, single and double diffractive cross sections, including $t$ dependence of the differential elastic cross section, and the mass dependence of single diffraction. In this model we calculate the survival probability of diffractive Higgs production, and obtained a value for this observable, which is smaller than 1% at the LHC energy range.

Two schemes of mixing of four massive neutrinos with two couples of close neutrino masses separated by a gap of the order of 1 eV can accommodate solar, atmospheric and LSND neutrino oscillation data. It is shown that long-baseline nu(e)->nu(e) and nu(mu)->nu(e) transitions are strongly suppressed in these schemes. The scheme of mixing of three neutrino masses with a mass hierarchy that can describe solar and atmospheric neutrino data is also discussed. It is shown that in this scheme the effective Majorana mass |<m>| that characterizes the matrix element of neutrinoless double-beta decay is less than 10^{-2} eV.

We propose a type II upgrade of type I see-saw models leading to new classes of models where partially degenerate neutrinos are as natural as hierarchical ones. The additional type II contribution to the neutrino mass matrix, which determines the neutrino mass scale, is forced to be proportional to the unit matrix by a SO(3) flavour symmetry. The type I see-saw part of the neutrino mass matrix, which controls the mass squared differences and mixing angles, may be governed by sequential right-handed neutrino dominance and a natural alignment for the SO(3)-breaking vacuum. We focus on classes of models with bi-large mixing originating from the neutrino mass matrix although we also briefly discuss other classes of models where large mixing stems from the charged lepton mass matrix. We study renormalization group corrections to the neutrino mass squared differences and mixings and find that the low energy values do not depend sensitively on the high energy values for partially degenerate neutrinos with a mass scale up to about 0.15 eV. Our scenario predicts the effective mass for neutrinoless double beta decay to be approximately equal to the neutrino mass scale and therefore neutrinoless double beta decay will be observable if the neutrino mass spectrum is partially degenerate. We also find that all observable CP phases as well as $\theta_{13}$ become small as the neutrino mass scale increases.

The properties of string networks at scales well below the horizon are poorly understood, but they enter critically into many observables. We argue that in some regimes, stretching will be the only relevant process governing the evolution. In this case, the string two-point function is determined up to normalization: the fractal dimension approaches one at short distance, but the rate of approach is characterized by an exponent that plays an essential role in network properties. The smoothness at short distance implies, for example, that cosmic string lensing images are little distorted. We then add in loop production as a perturbation and find that it diverges at small scales. This need not invalidate the stretching model, since the loop production occurs in localized regions, but it implies a complicated fragmentation process.

The properties of string networks at scales well below the horizon are poorly understood, but they enter critically into many observables. We argue that in some regimes, stretching will be the only relevant process governing the evolution. In this case, the string two-point function is determined up to normalization: the fractal dimension approaches one at short distance, but the rate of approach is characterized by an exponent that plays an essential role in network properties. The smoothness at short distance implies, for example, that cosmic string lensing images are little distorted. We then add in loop production as a perturbation and find that it diverges at small scales. This need not invalidate the stretching model, since the loop production occurs in localized regions, but it implies a complicated fragmentation process. Our ability to model this process is limited, but we argue that loop production peaks a few orders of magnitude below the horizon scale, without the inclusion of gravitational radiation. We find agreement with some features of simulations, and interesting discrepancies that must be resolved by future work.

Large extra dimensions lower the Planck scale to values soon accessible. Motivated by String Theory, the models of large extra dimensions predict a vast number of new effects in the energy range of the lowered Planck scale, among them the production of TeV-mass black holes and gravitons. But not only is the Planck scale the energy scale at which effects of modified gravity become important. String Theory as well as non-commutative quantum mechanics suggest that the Planck length acts as a minimal length in nature, providing a natural ultraviolet cutoff and a limit to the possible resolution of spacetime. Within the extra dimensional scenario, the minimal length effects thus become important in the same energy range in which the effective extra dimensional models predict new physics. We examine a model which includes the minimal length into the extra dimensional extension of the Standard Model.

A global analysis of the data from all the solar neutrino experiments combined with the recent KamLAND data is presented. A formula frequently used in the literature gives survival probability for three active solar neutrino flavors in terms of a suitably-modified two-flavor survival probability. Corrections to this formula, which depend on $\theta_{13}$ and $\delta m_{31}^2$, are calculated. For the mass scale suggested by the atmospheric neutrino experiments the contributions of $\delta m_{31}^2$ to these corrections is found to be negligible. The role of $\theta_{13}$ in solar neutrino physics is elaborated. For electron neutrino oscillations into another active flavor, we find best fit values of $\tan^2 \theta_{12} \sim 0.46$, $\tan^2 \theta_{13} \sim 0$, and $\delta m_{21}^2 \sim 7.1 \times 10^{-5}$ eV$^2$. It is found that the combined solar neutrino and KamLAND date provide the limit $\cos^4 \theta_{13} < 0.8$ at the 90 % confidence level.

We consider a baryogenesis scenario via the oscillation of right-handed neutrinos with Majorana masses of the order of GeV, which are also responsible for neutrino masses by the seesaw mechanism. We study how the initial condition alters the prediction of the present baryon asymmetry by this mechanism. It is usually assumed that the abundance of right-handed neutrinos is zero after the reheating of the inflationary universe and they are produced in scattering processes by the renomalizable Yukawa interaction. However, the higher-dimensional operator with right-handed neutrinos may provide an additional production which is most effective at the reheating epoch. It is shown that such an initial abundance of right-handed neutrinos can significantly modify the prediction when the strong washout of the asymmetry is absent. This leads to the parameter space of the model for the successful baryogenesis being enlarged.

We present a comprehensive insight into counting distributions from the perspective of the combinants extracted from them. In particular, we focus on cases where these combinants exhibit oscillatory behavior that can provide an invaluable new source of information about the dynamics of the process under study. We show that such behavior can be described only by specific combinations of compound distributions based on the Binomial Distribution and provide their analytical forms which can be used in further investigations and which can be helpful in the analysis of all other types of counting distributions.

Right since its discovery in 2003 by the Belle collaboration, establishing the nature of the $X(3872)$ meson has been one of the main priorities in the field of quarkonium physics. Not qualifying as a conventional $c\bar{c}$ state, the multiquark structure of this exotic meson has received very different interpretations, ranging from a compact tetraquark configuration to an extended $D\bar D^*+c.c.$ molecule. In this work we explore the effect that a hot pion bath may have in the properties of the $X(3872)$, assuming this state to be a $D\bar D^*+c.c.$ molecule. We derive the finite temperature effects on the $X(3872)$ from a coupled channels unitarized amplitude, obtained including the properties of the charmed mesons under such conditions. We find that the $X(3872)$ develops a subtantial width, of the order of a few tens of MeV, in hot pionic environments at temperatures $100-150$ MeV, and its nominal mass moves above the $D D^*$ threshold. The fact that the $X(3872)$ in a hot pion gas may no longer be a narrow resonance needs to be considered in the estimation of production yields in relativistic heavy-ion collisions.

It is shown that it is difficult to study the spin structure of the pomeron coupling with the proton from the $A_{ll}$ asymmetry. The $A_{lT}$ asymmetry is an appropriate object for this investigation.

Axino, the superpartner of axion, with a mass 2E is suggested as a possible origin of the line with R-parity violating decay into photon and neutrino. Moreover, most of parameter space is consistent with recent observation by the BICEP2 experiment.

We calculate the neutrino mass matrix up to one loop order in the MSSM without R-parity, including the bilinears in the mass insertion approximation. This introduces additional diagrams usually neglected in the literature. We systematically consider the possible new diagrams, and find a few missing from our previous work. We provide analytic expressions for the mass matrix elements in the neutrino flavour basis, which are independent of the $H_d - L_i$ basis choice in the Lagrangian. We compare the contributions from different diagrams, and make ``Lagrangian-basis-independent'' estimates of when the new diagrams need to be included. We briefly discuss the phenomenology of a toy model of bilinear R-parity violation.

Measurements of lifetimes can be done in two ways. For very short lived particles, the width can be measured. For long lived ones, the lifetime can be directly measured, for example, using a displaced vertex. Practically, the lifetime cannot be extracted for particles with intermediate lifetimes. We show that for such cases information about the lifetime can be extracted for heavy colored particles that can be produced with known polarization. For example, a $t$-like particle with intermediate lifetime hadronizes into a superposition of the lowest two hadronic states, $T^*$ and $T$ (the equivalent of $B^*$ and $B$). Depolarization effects are governed by time scales that are much longer than the hadronization time scale, $\lqcd^{-1}$. After a time of order $1/\Delta m$, with $\Delta m \equiv m(T^*)-m(T)$, half of the initial polarization is lost. The polarization is totally lost after a time of order $1/\Gamma_{\gamma}$, with $\Gamma_{\gamma}= \Gamma(T^*\to T\gamma)$. Thus, by comparing the initial and final polarization, we get information on the particle's lifetime.

We reinvestigate the leading QCD corrections to the radiative decay $b \to s \gamma for supersymmetric extensions of the Standard Model. Although the major contributions to the corrections originate from the running of the effective Lagrangian from the W scale down to the $b$ scale, additional corrections are expected from large mass splittings between the particles running in the loops, as well as from integrating out heavy particles at scales different from the W mass. The calculation is performed in the framework of effective field theories.

Since this region corresponds to relatively light squarks and gluinos which are likely to be probed extensively in the very early stages of the LHC experiments, the consequences of moderate or large negative values of $A_0$ are examined in detail. We find that in this region several processes including lightest supersymmetric particle (LSP) pair annihilation, LSP - lighter tau slepton (${\tilde \tau}_1$) coannihilation and LSP - lighter top squark (${\tilde t}_1$) coannihilation contribute to the observed dark matter relic density. %\sout{The possibility that a relic density producing ${\tilde t}_1$ can be %observed at the current experiments at the Tevatron is wide open.} The possibility that a ${\tilde t}_1$ that can participate in coannihilation with the lightest neutralino to satisfy the WMAP bound on relic density and at the same time be observed at the current experiments at the Tevatron is wide open. At the LHC a large number of squark - gluino events lead to a very distinctive semi-inclusive signature $\tau^\pm$+X$_\tau$ (anything without a tau lepton) with a characteristic size much larger than $e^\pm$+X$_e$ or $\mu^\pm$+X$_\mu$ events.

The correspondence between theories in anti-de Sitter space and field theories in physical space-time leads to an analytic, semiclassical model for strongly-coupled QCD which has scale invariance at short distances and color confinement at large distances. These equations, for both mesons and baryons, give a very good representation of the observed hadronic spectrum, including a zero mass pion. Light-front holography allows hadronic amplitudes in the AdS fifth dimension to be mapped to frame-independent light-front wavefunctions of hadrons in physical space-time, thus providing a relativistic description of hadrons at the amplitude level. The meson and baryon wavefunctions derived from light-front holography and AdS/QCD also have remarkable phenomenological features, including predictions for the electromagnetic form factors and decay constants. The approach can be systematically improved using light-front Hamiltonian methods. Some novel features of QCD for baryon physics are also discussed.

The correspondence between theories in anti-de Sitter space and field theories in physical space-time leads to an analytic, semiclassical model for strongly-coupled QCD which has scale invariance at short distances and color confinement at large distances. These equations, for both mesons and baryons, give a very good representation of the observed hadronic spectrum, including a zero mass pion. Light-front holography allows hadronic amplitudes in the AdS fifth dimension to be mapped to frame-independent light-front wavefunctions of hadrons in physical space-time, thus providing a relativistic description of hadrons at the amplitude level. The meson and baryon wavefunctions derived from light-front holography and AdS/QCD also have remarkable phenomenological features, including predictions for the electromagnetic form factors and decay constants. The approach can be systematically improved using light-front Hamiltonian methods. Some novel features of QCD for baryon physics are also discussed.

We discuss the fermion mass problem in SUSY GUTs, including such ideas as texture zeroes, and Georgi-Jarlskog textures. We focus on a specific supersymmetric model based on the gauge group $SU(4)\otimes SU(2)_L \otimes SU(2)_R$. In this model the gauge group is broken to that of the standard model at $10^{16}$ GeV, and supersymmetry is broken at low-energy. The model may be regarded as a ``surrogate SUSY GUT'', and has several advantages over the $SU(5)$ and $SO(10)$ SUSY GUTs, such as the absence of the doublet-triplet splitting problem, and a simpler Higgs sector which does not involve any large Higgs representations. The model predicts full quadruple Yukawa unification (top-bottom-tau-tau neutrino), leading to the prediction of large top mass and $\tan \beta$. An operator analysis leads to schemes where the strange and down mass are predicted, and $|V_{ub}|>0.004$.

Dyon loops give a contribution to the matrix element for light-by-light scattering that violates parity and time-reversal symmetry. This effect induces an electric dipole moment for the electron, of order $M^{-2}$, where $M$ is the dyon mass. The current limit on the electric dipole moment of the electron yields the lower mass bound $M>{\cal O}(1)~\mbox{TeV}$.

We discuss the NLO QCD corrections to the photoproduction of W bosons with finite transverse momentum at HERA. The higher-order QCD corrections reduce the factorization scale dependence significantly and modify the leading order cross sections by +-O(10%).

We show that color-kinematics duality is present in tree-level amplitudes of quantum chromodynamics with massive flavored quarks. Starting with the color structure of QCD, we work out a new color decomposition for n-point tree amplitudes in a reduced basis of primitive amplitudes. These primitives, with k quark-antiquark pairs and (n-2k) gluons, are taken in the (n-2)!/k! Melia basis, and are independent under the color-algebra Kleiss-Kuijf relations. This generalizes the color decomposition of Del Duca, Dixon, and Maltoni to an arbitrary number of quarks. The color coefficients in the new decomposition are given by compact expressions valid for arbitrary gauge group and representation. Considering the kinematic structure, we show through explicit calculations that color-kinematics duality holds for amplitudes with general configurations of gluons and massive quarks. The new (massive) amplitude relations that follow from the duality can be mapped to a well-defined subset of the familiar BCJ relations for gluons. They restrict the amplitude basis further down to (n-3)!(2k-2)/k! primitives, for two or more quark lines. We give a decomposition of the full amplitude in that basis. The presented results provide strong evidence that QCD obeys the color-kinematics duality, at least at tree level. The results are also applicable to supersymmetric and D-dimensional extensions of QCD.

We assess the impact of these two new measurements on the light antiquark sea in the proton, and the $\bar{d}-\bar{u}$ asymmetry in particular. The SeaQuest data are found to significantly reduce the uncertainty on the $\bar{d}/\bar{u}$ ratio at large parton momentum fractions $x$, strongly favoring an enhanced $\bar{d}$ sea up to $x \approx 0.4$, in general agreement with nonperturbative calculations based on chiral symmetry breaking in QCD.

In a recent publication, we suggested a mechanism for obtaining dynamical CP violation in the early Universe based on the out-of-equilibrium evolution of complex scalar fields. In this paper, we suggest several ways of transferring the CP asymmetry from the scalar sector to the leptonic sector. In particular, we point out how a ``transient MNS(P) matrix'' can generate an asymmetry between fermions and anti-fermions directly.

The LHCb collaboration has recently reported the largest CP violation effect from a single amplitude, as well as other giant CP asymmetries in several $B$-meson decays into three charmless light mesons. It is also claimed that this is predominantly due to $\pi\pi\rightarrow K\bar K$ rescattering in the final state, particularly in the 1 to 1.5 GeV region. In these analyses the $\pi\pi\rightarrow K\bar K$ amplitude is by default estimated from the $\pi\pi$ elastic scattering amplitude and does not describe the existing $\pi\pi\rightarrow K\bar K$ scattering data. Here we show how the recent model-independent dispersive analysis of $\pi\pi\rightarrow K\bar K$ data can be easily implemented in the LHCb formalism. This leads to a more accurate description of the asymmetry, while being consistent with the measured scattering amplitude and confirming the prominent role of hadronic final state interactions, paving the way for more elaborated analyses.

We explore `benchmark surfaces' suitable for studying the phenomenology of Higgs bosons in the minimal supersymmetric extension of the Standard Model (MSSM), which are chosen so that the supersymmetric relic density is generally compatible with the range of cold dark matter density preferred by WMAP and other observations. These benchmark surfaces are specified assuming that gaugino masses m_{1/2}, soft trilinear supersymmetry-breaking parameters A_0 and the soft supersymmetry-breaking contributions m_0 to the squark and slepton masses are universal, but not those associated with the Higgs multiplets (the NUHM framework). The benchmark surfaces may be presented as M_A-tan_beta planes with fixed or systematically varying values of the other NUHM parameters, such as m_0, m_{1/2}, A_0 and the Higgs mixing parameter mu. We discuss the prospects for probing experimentally these benchmark surfaces at the Tevatron collider, the LHC, the ILC, in B physics and in direct dark-matter detection experiments. An Appendix documents developments in the FeynHiggs code that enable the user to explore for her/himself the WMAP-compliant benchmark surfaces.

This paper concludes the presentation of the non-relativistic effective field theory formalism designed to calculate the radiative corrections that enhance the pair-annihilation cross sections of slowly moving neutralinos and charginos within the general minimal supersymmetric standard model (MSSM). While papers I and II focused on the computation of the tree-level annihilation rates that feed into the short-distance part, here we describe in detail the method to obtain the Sommerfeld factors that contain the enhanced long-distance corrections.

This paper concludes the presentation of the non-relativistic effective field theory formalism designed to calculate the radiative corrections that enhance the pair-annihilation cross sections of slowly moving neutralinos and charginos within the general minimal supersymmetric standard model (MSSM). While papers I and II focused on the computation of the tree-level annihilation rates that feed into the short-distance part, here we describe in detail the method to obtain the Sommerfeld factors that contain the enhanced long-distance corrections. This includes the computation of the potential interactions in the MSSM, which are provided in compact analytic form, and a novel solution of the multi-state Schr\"odinger equation that is free from the numerical instabilities generated by large mass splittings between the scattering states. Our results allow for a precise computation of the MSSM neutralino dark matter relic abundance and pair-annihilation rates in the present Universe, when Sommerfeld enhancements are important.

A Hamiltonian effective potential (the logarithm of the square of the wave functional) is defined and calculated at the tree and one loop levels in a $\phi^4$ scalar field theory. The loop expansion for eigenfunctionals is equivalent to the combination of WKB expansion and an expansion around constant field configurations. The results are compared with those obtained from the Lagrangian effective potential. While at tree level the results from the two methods coincide, at one loop level they differ. Our result at one loop level is that the reflection symmetry is not broken at $m^2\geq0$.

The measured value of A_b, the Z \bar bb asymmetry parameter, disagrees with the Standard Model at 99% confidence level. If genuine the discrepancy could indicate new interactions unique to third generation quarks, implying enhanced Z penguin amplitudes. Enhanced rates are predicted for rare K and B decays, such as K^{+} --> pi^{+}\bar nu nu, K_{L} --> pi^{0}\bar nu nu, B --> X_{s}\bar nu nu, and B_{s} --> \bar mu mu. Measurements of epsilon^{\prime}/epsilon then imply QCD penguin amplitudes must also be similarly enhanced. The Higgs sector of an SU(2)_L x SU(2)_R gauge theory has some of the features needed to explain these phenomena and would also imply right-handed penguin amplitudes.

We study supersymmetric extra U(1) model with $S_4$ flavor symmetry. The flavor symmetry not only stabilizes proton but also suppresses the flavor changing processes without raising the supersymmetry breaking scale. After the flavor symmetry is broken, the Yukawa hierarchy is realized by the Froggatt-Nielsen mechanism. The relevant Peccei-Quinn scale for axion dark matter: $\frac{f_a}{M_P}\sim 10^{-5}$ accounts for small up quark mass. The muon mass scale: $\frac{m_\mu}{M_W}\sim 10^{-3}$ is related to the $O(10^{-6})$ mass degeneracy of right-handed neutrinos, from which we can identify the relevant scale of right-handed neutrino mass for baryon asymmetry of the Universe as TeV. Due to the existence of the extra higgsinos, the discrepancies of the anomalous magnetic moments of the muon and the electron between the standard model predictions and the observations are explained by the chargino-sneutrino contributions simultaneously.

We calculate the first four moments of baryon number, electric charge and strangeness fluctuations within the hadron resonance gas model. Different moments and their ratios as well as skewness and kurtosis are evaluated on the phenomenologically determined freeze-out curve in the temperature, baryon chemical potential plane. The model results and its predictions as well as relations between different moments are compared with the first data on net proton fluctuations in Au-Au collisions obtained at RHIC by the STAR Collaboration. We find good agreement between the model calculations and experimental results. We also point out that higher order moments should be more sensitive to critical behavior and will also distinguish hadron resonance gas model calculations from results obtained from lattice QCD.

We describe a supersymmetric Grand Unified Theory based on the gauge group $\SU(5)^3$, or $\SO(10)^3$, invariant under the interchange of any~SU(5), or~SO(10), with each family multiplet transforming non trivially under one different individual group factor. A realistic pattern of fermion masses and mixings is obtained as a result of an appropriate choice out of the many possible discretely degenerate vacua of the theory. In the~SO(10) case, we predict the three neutrino masses in terms of an overall scale and, within factors of order unity, their mixing angles. A $\nu_e$-$\nu_\mu$ oscillation is suggested as a solution of the solar neutrino problem, implying a visible $\nu_\mu$-$\nu_\tau$ oscillation in the forthcoming experiments. Grand unified theories of this type could be obtainable in a string theory framework.

We present an $A_4$ flavor extended $\rm B-L$ model for realization of eV scale sterile neutrinos, motivated by the recent experimental hints from both particle physics and cosmology. The framework considered here is a gauged $\rm B-L$ extension of standard model without the introduction of right-handed neutrinos, where the gauge triangle anomalies are canceled with the inclusion of three exotic neutral fermions $N_{i}$ ($i=1,2,3$) with $\rm B-L$ charges $-4,-4$ and $5$. The usual Dirac Yukawa couplings between the SM neutrinos and the exotic fermions are absent and thus, the model allows natural realization of eV scale sterile-like neutrino and its mixing with standard model neutrinos by invoking $\rm A_4$ flavor symmetry. We demonstrate how the exact tri-bimaximal mixing pattern is perturbed due to active-sterile mixing by analyzing $1+3$ case in detail. We also show the implication of eV scale sterile-like neutrino on various observables in neutrino oscillation experiments and the effective mass in neutrinoless double beta decay. Another interesting feature of the model is that one of three exotic fermions is required to explain eV scale phenomena, while other two fermions form stable dark matter candidates and their total relic density satisfy the observed $3\sigma$ limit of Planck data. We constrain the gauge parameters associated with $U(1)$ gauge extension, using relic density and collider bounds.

We demonstrate how to realize within supergravity a novel chaotic-type inflationary scenario driven by the radial parts of a conjugate pair of Higgs superfields causing the spontaneous breaking of a grand unified gauge symmetry at a scale assuming the value of the supersymmetric grand unification scale. The superpotential is uniquely determined at the renormalizable level by the gauge symmetry and a continuous R symmetry. We select two types of Kahler potentials, which respect these symmetries as well as an approximate shift symmetry. In particular, they include in a logarithm a dominant shift-symmetric term proportional to a parameter c- together with a small term violating this symmetry and characterized by a parameter c+. In both cases, imposing a lower bound on c-, inflation can be attained with subplanckian values of the original inflaton, while the corresponding effective theory respects perturbative unitarity for r+-=c+/c-<1. These inflationary models do not lead to overproduction of cosmic defects, are largely independent of the one-loop radiative corrections and accommodate, for natural values of r+-, observable gravitational waves consistently with all the current observational data. The inflaton mass is mostly confined in the range (3.7-8.1)x10^10 GeV.

We discuss direct $CP$ violation in the standard model by giving a new estimate of $\varepsilon'/\varepsilon$ in kaon decays. Our analysis is based on the evaluation of the hadronic matrix elements of the \mbox{$\Delta S =1$} effective quark lagrangian by means of the chiral quark model, with the inclusion of meson one-loop renormalization and NLO Wilson coefficients. Our estimate is fully consistent with the $\Delta I =1/2$ selection rule in $K\to \pi\pi$ decays which is well reproduced within the same framework. By varying all parameters in the allowed ranges and, in particular, taking the quark condensate---which is the major source of uncertainty---between $(-200\ {\rm MeV})^3$ and $(-280\ {\rm MeV})^3$ we find $$ -5.0 \times 10^{-3}\ <\varepsilon'/\varepsilon <\ 1.4 \times 10^{-3}\ .$$ Assuming for the quark condensate the improved PCAC result \mbox{$\vev{\bar qq} = -(221\: \pm 17\ {\rm MeV})^3$} and fixing $\Lambda_{\rm QCD}^{(4)}$ to its central value, we find the more restrictive prediction $$\varepsilon '/\varepsilon = ( 4 \pm 5 ) \,\times \,10^{-4}\ , $$ where the central value is defined as the average over the allowed values of Im $\lambda_t$ in the first and second quadrants. In these estimates the relevant mixing parameter Im $\lambda_t$ is self-consistently obtained from $\varepsilon$ and we take $m_t^{\rm pole} = 180 \pm 12$ GeV. Our result is, to a very good approximation, renormalization-scale and $\gamma_5$-scheme independent.

If a global chiral symmetry is explicitly broken by anomalies in nonabelian gauge theories, a pseudo Nambu-Goldstone boson (axion) associated with a spontaneous breakdown of such a global symmetry acquires a mass through nonperturbative instanton effects. We calculate the axion mass assuming a supersymmetric SU(2) gauge theory and show that the axion obtains an extremely small mass when the SU(2) gauge symmetry is broken down at very high energy, say at the Planck scale. We identify the axion with a hypothetical ultralight boson field proposed to account for a small but nonzero cosmological constant suggested from recent cosmological observations.

The Matrix Element Method is a promising multi-variate analysis tool which offers an optimal approach to compare theory and experiment according to the Neyman-Pearson lemma. However, until recently its usage has been limited by the fact that only leading-order predictions could be employed. The imperfect approximation of the underlying probability distribution can introduce a significant bias into the analysis which requires a major calibration for the method when applied to parameter determination. Moreover, estimating theoretical uncertainties by scale variation may yield unreliable results. We present the extension of the Matrix Element Method to next-to-leading order in QCD applicable to LHC data defined by common jet algorithms. The accuracy gain is illustrated by simulating a top-quark mass determination from single top-quark events generated with POWHEG+PYTHIA. Additionally, the method's potential for BSM parameter determination is demonstrated by simulating the extraction of a CP-violating Top-Yukawa coupling from events of single top-quarks in association with a Higgs boson.

The Matrix Element Method is a promising multi-variate analysis tool which offers an optimal approach to compare theory and experiment according to the Neyman-Pearson lemma. However, until recently its usage has been limited by the fact that only leading-order predictions could be employed. The imperfect approximation of the underlying probability distribution can introduce a significant bias into the analysis which requires a major calibration for the method when applied to parameter determination. Moreover, estimating theoretical uncertainties by scale variation may yield unreliable results. We present the extension of the Matrix Element Method to next-to-leading order in QCD applicable to LHC data defined by common jet algorithms. The accuracy gain is illustrated by simulating a top-quark mass determination from single top-quark events generated with POWHEG+PYTHIA. Additionally, the method's potential for BSM parameter determination is demonstrated by simulating the extraction of a CP-violating Top-Yukawa coupling from events of single top-quarks in association with a Higgs boson.

We show a new and simple model which induces large Majorana masses of right-handed neutrinos. It is based on U(1)_X anomalous gauge symmetry, which is cancelled by the Green-Schwarz mechanism. These Majorana masses can solve the solar neutrino problem by the vacuum oscillation mechanism. The superpotential of this model is scale invariant. The field contents are simple extensions of the MSSM, which have four standard gauge singlet fields, two extra vector-like fields, and right-handed neutrinos in addition to the MSSM.

If TeV-scale gravity models are correct, the production of black holes will be the first signal of new physics. Once black holes are produced, they will give us much information about TeV-scale new physics directly. But such black holes can also be used for the precision measurements of the Standard Model (SM). The SM is nothing but a theory which can describe weak-scale, and TeV-scale physics will affect it. So if some experimental results which cannot be explained in the SM are found, they will be attributed to TeV-scale physics and we can obtain ``bottom-up'' type information about new physics. In this paper, we consider the precision measurements of the top sector at the LHC by using black holes. The stringent trigger conditions to confirm the black hole production vanish almost all of the QCD background, and we can examine the top quark emitted from black holes very precisely. The error of the top quark mass and the top Yukawa coupling are drastically reduced, leading to a very accurate test of the Higgs mechanism. We can directly measure the CKM matrix element |V_{ts}|, and we will understand the property of the CKM matrix and the origin of CP-violation deeply. The very precise measurements of such properties in the SM, enabled by black holes, can become treasures in the quest for TeV-scale physics because there exists a possibility that TeV-scale physics affects them and destroys the predictions of the SM. By combining the direct information of new physics obtained from black holes themselves and the indirect information obtained from the limitations of the SM, we will be able to identify TeV-scale physics correctly.

In this paper, we study generic non-local NJL models for four-dimensional QCD in the limit of a large number of colours. We diagonalise, through a Bogoliubov-type transformation, the Hamiltonian of the model completely in terms of the compound operators creating/annihilating mesons - bound states of dressed quarks and antiquarks - and demonstrate a one-to-one correspondence between the Bogoliubov diagonalisation condition and the Bethe-Salpeter equation for bound states. We conclude that, in the leading order in N_C, the nontrivial contents of the theory is entirely encoded in the chiral angle - the solution to the mass-gap equation for dressed quarks. As a consequence, we extend the statement of existence of excited solutions to the mass-gap equation, called vacuum replicas, beyond the BCS level and prescribe a new index to the mesonic operators - the label of the vacuum state in which the corresponding meson is created.

Sixteen color singlet-singlet type currents with the definite isospin-spin-parity $IJ^P$ are constructed to interpolate the corresponding hadronic states with the same quantum numbers. The masses and pole residues of those doubly-heavy pentaquark molecular states are calculated, the results show that their masses are all below the corresponding meson-baryon thresholds, which means that they are possible bound states, not resonant states, moreover, the possible decay channels for the doubly-charm molecular states are given.

The mixing-induced CP asymmetries in $B_d \to J/\psi K_S$ and $B_s \to J/\psi \phi$ are essential to detect or constrain new physics in the $B_d\! - \overline{\!B}{}_d$ and $B_s\! - \overline{\!B}{}_s$ mixing amplitudes, respectively. To this end one must control the penguin contributions to the decay amplitudes, which affect the extraction of fundamental CP phases from the measured CP asymmetries. Although the "penguin pollution" is doubly Cabibbo-suppressed, it could compete in size with current experimental errors. In this talk I present a calculation of the penguin contributions treating QCD effects with soft-collinear factorisation and compare method and results with the alternative approach employing flavour-SU(3) symmetry. As a novel feature, I present results for the penguin pollution in $b\to c\overline c d$ modes.

The $\eta -\eta^{\prime}$ mixing mass term due to the derivative coupling $SU(3)\times SU(3)$ symmetry breaking term, produces an additional momentum-dependent pole term for processes with $\eta^{\prime}$, but is suppressed in the $\eta$ amplitude by a factor $m_{\eta}^{2}/m_{\eta^{\prime}}^{2}$. This seems to be the origin of the two-angle description of the pseudo-scalar decay constants used in the literature. In this paper, by diagonalizing both the mixing mass term and the momentum-dependent mixing term, we show that the $\eta -\eta^{\prime}$ system could be described by a meson field renormalization and a new mixing angle $\theta$ which differs from the usual mixing angle $\theta_{P}$ by a small momentum-dependent mixing $d$ term. This new mixing scheme with exact treatment of the momentum-dependent mixing term, is actually simpler than the perturbation treatment and should be used in any determination of the $\eta -\eta^{\prime}$ mixing angle and the momentum-dependent mixing term. Assuming nonet symmetry for the $\eta_{0}$ singlet amplitude, from the sum rules relating $\theta$ and $d$ to the measured vector meson radiative decays amplitudes, we obtain consistent solutions with $\theta=-(13.99\pm 3.1)^{\circ}$, $d=0.12\pm 0.03$ from $\rho\to\eta\gamma$ and $\eta^{\prime}\to\rho\gamma$ decays, for $\omega$ , $\theta=-(15.47\pm 3.1)^{\circ}$, $d=0.11\pm 0.03$, and for $\phi$, $\theta=-(12.66\pm 2.1)^{\circ}$, $d=0.10\pm 0.03$. It seems that vector meson radiative decays would favor a small $\eta-\eta^{\prime}$ mixing angle and a small momentum-dependent mixing term.

Sterile neutrinos can be a possible candidate for dark matter. Sterile neutrinos are radiatively unstable and can inject photon energy into the intergalactic medium (IGM). The injection of photon energy into IGM can modify the temperature and ionization history of IGM gas during cosmic dawn. Theoretical models based on the {\Lambda}CDM framework predict an absorption profile in the 21 cm line during the cosmic dawn era. Recently, the Experiment to Detect the Global Epoch of Reionization Signature (EDGES) collaboration confirmed such an adsorption signal. Injection of energy into IGM can modify the absorption amplitude in the 21 cm signal. Considering the 21 cm absorption signal at cosmic dawn, we constrain the lifetime of sterile neutrinos and the mixing angle of sterile neutrinos with active neutrinos. We also compare these bounds with other astrophysical observational bounds.

Volkov states are exact solutions of the Dirac equation in the presence of an arbitrary plane wave. Volkov states, as well as free photon states, are not stable in the presence of the background plane-wave field but "decay" as electrons/positrons can emit photons and photons can transform into electron-positron pairs. By using the solutions of the corresponding Schwinger-Dyson equations within the locally-constant field approximation, we compute the probabilities of nonlinear single Compton scattering and nonlinear Breit-Wheeler pair production by including the effects of the decay of electron, positron, and photon states. As a result, we find that the probabilities of these processes can be expressed as the integral over the light-cone time of the known probabilities valid for stable states per unit of light-cone time times a light-cone time-dependent exponential damping function for each interacting particle. The exponential function for an incoming (outgoing) either electron/positron or photon at each light-cone time corresponds to the total probability that either the electron/positron emits a photon via nonlinear Compton scattering or the photon transforms into an electron-positron pair via nonlinear Breit-Wheeler pair production until that light-cone time (from that light-cone time on). It is interesting that the exponential damping terms depend not only on the particles momentum but also on their spin (for electrons/positrons) and polarization (for photons). This additional dependence on the discrete quantum numbers prevents the application of the electron/positron spin and photon polarization sum-rules, which significantly simplify the computations in the perturbative regime.

We present a microscopic model for neutrino induced one-pion production off the nucleon and its implementation for the purpose of calculating coherent pion production in nuclei. We further criticize the use of the Rein--Sehgal model for coherent pion production by low energy neutrinos. In particular, we show how the approximations in that model give rise to a much flatter differential cross section in the $\eta=E_\pi(1-\cos\theta_\pi)$ variable. We discuss the limitations intrinsic to any approach based on the partial conservation of the axial current hypothesis and the inability of such models to properly determine the angular distribution of the outgoing pion with respect to the direction of the incoming neutrino. We show the effects of those limitation for the case of the $\frac{d\sigma}{d\eta}$ differential cross section.

Collective neutrino oscillations are induced by the presence of neutrinos themselves. As such they are intrinsically nonlinear phenomena and are much more complex than linear counterparts such as the vacuum or MSW oscillations. They obey integro-differential equations, numerical solutions of which are also very challenging. If one focuses on the onset of the collective oscillations, on the other hand, the equations can be linearized and the technique of linear analysis can be employed. Unfortunately, however, it is well known that such an analysis, when applied with discretizations of continuous angular distributions, suffers from the appearance of so-called spurious modes, unphysical eigenmodes of the discretized linear equations. In this paper, we analyze in detail the origin of these unphysical modes and present a simple solution to this annoying problem. We have found that the spurious modes originate from the artificial production of pole singularities instead of a branch cut in the Riemann surface by the discretizations. The branching point singularities in the Riemann surface for the original undiscretized equations can be recovered by approximating the angular distributions with polynomials and then performing the integrals analytically. We demonstrate for some examples that this simple prescription removes the spurious modes indeed. We also propose an even simpler method: a piecewise linear approximation to the angular distribution. It is shown that the same methodology is applicable to the multi-energy case as well as to the dispersion relation approach that was proposed very recently.

We study the effects on oscillations in the neutral-Kaon system from lepton and hadron self-energy loops in the W-boson propagators. The corresponding W box diagrams are evaluated by attaching the external quark lines to covariant vertex functions for the composite Kaons, integrating over all off-shell momenta. We find that the ratio of the imaginary and real parts of the amplitude is of the same size as with the experimental value of the modulus of the CP-violating parameter epsilon.

The luminosity of fading type Ia supernovae is governed by radioactive decays of 56Ni and 56Co. The decay rates are proportional to the Fermi coupling constant G_F and, therefore, are determined by the vacuum expectation value v of the Brout-Englert-Higgs field. We use publicly available sets of light curves of type Ia supernova at various redshifts to constrain possible spacetime variations of the 56Ni decay rate. The resulting constraint is not very tight; however, it is the only direct bound on the variation of the decay rate for redshifts up to z~1. We discuss potential applications of the result to searches for non-constancy of G_F and v.

We present a new parton level Monte Carlo program for the calculation of jet cross sections in Deep Inelastic Scattering based on Born and next-to-leading order matrix elements. Using a class of invariant jet definition schemes, the program allows for the calculation of differential distributions of jet cross sections in the basic kinematical variables (like s, x, y, W^2, Q^2...) as well as for total jet cross sections. Various kinematical cuts can be chosen from an input file.

Dense neutrino gases exhibit collective oscillations where "self-maintained coherence" is a characteristic feature, i.e., neutrinos of different energies oscillate with the same frequency. In a non-isotropic gas, however, the flux term of the neutrino-neutrino interaction has the opposite effect of causing kinematical decoherence of neutrinos propagating in different directions, an effect that is at the origin of the "multi-angle behavior" of neutrinos streaming off a supernova core. We cast the equations of motion in a form where the role of the flux term is manifest. We study in detail the symmetric case of equal neutrino and antineutrino densities where the evolution consists of collective pair conversions ("bipolar oscillations"). A gas of this sort is unstable in that an infinitesimal anisotropy is enough to trigger a run-away towards flavor equipartition. The "self-maintained coherence" of a perfectly isotropic gas gives way to "self-induced decoherence."

The Particle Data Group decided to split the $\eta(1440)$ into two states, called $\eta_L$ and $\eta_H$. The $\eta(1295)$ and the $\eta_H$ are supposed to be the radial excitations of the $\eta$ and $\eta'$, respectively. The $\eta_L$ state cannot be accomodated in a quark model; it cannot be a $q\bar q$ state, however, it might be a glueball. In this contribution it is shown that that the $\eta(1295)$ does not have the properties which must be expected for a radially excited state. The splitting of the $\eta(1440)$ is traced to a node in the wave function of a radial excitation. Hence the two peaks, $\eta_L$ and $\eta_H$, originate from one resonance which is interpreted here as first radial excitation of the $\eta$.

The problem of weak radiative hyperon decays (WRHD) is reviewed. With the recent measurement of the $\Xi ^0 \to \Lambda \gamma$ asymmetry confirming Hara's theorem, implications from its violation in low-energy theoretical approaches are discussed. It is shown how an underlying symmetry link should be formulated for a successful description of both nonleptonic and radiative weak hyperon decays. The sign of the $\Xi ^0 \to \Lambda \gamma$ asymmetry and the overall size of parity-violating WRHD amplitudes together lead to the resolution of the old S:P problem in nonleptonic decays.

We discuss phenomenological consequences of some class of supersymmetric seesaw models in which the right-handed (s)neutrino mass is given to be TeV scale. In this scenario, scalar trilinear interaction of Higgs-slepton-(right-handed) sneutrino is enhanced. We show that the 1-loop correction by sneutrino exchange to the lightest Higgs boson mass destructively interferes with top-stop contributions in the minimal SUSY Standard Model. We find that a decay of charged Higgs boson into sneutrino and charged slepton is sizably enhanced and hence it gives rise to a distinctive signal at future collider experiments in some parameter space.

The statistical methods based on the classical Boltzmann-Gibbs (BG) approach are at heart of essentially all descriptions of multiparticle production processes. In many cases, however, one observes some deviations from the expected behaviour. It is also known that conditions necessary for the BG statistics to apply are usually satisfied only approximately. Two attitudes are possible in such situations: either to abandon statistical approach trying some other model or to generalise it to the so called nonextensive statistics (widely used in the similar circumstances in many other branches of physics). We shall provide here an overview of possible imprints of non-extensitivity existing both in high energy cosmic ray physics and in multiparticle production processes in hadronic collisions, in particular in heavy ion collisions.

The mechanism of chiral symmetry restoration in the context of the Georgi Vector Limit (GVL) at finite temperature/density is discussed. It is suggested that, whereas the system may be driven to the GVL, the fact of reaching the point of restoration does not neceserily mean the complete realization of the GVL since the other mechanisms of restoration may contribute at lower temperatures/densities.

We review the analysis of the quark and gluon substructures of the scalar mesons from QCD spectral sum rules and some low-energy theorems applied to the scalar QCD anomaly current. The present data favour equal components of \bar uu+ \bar dd and of gg in the wave functions of the low-mass (below 1 GeV) scalar mesons, which make the wide \sigma and the narrow f_0(980) as \eta'-like particles, which can have strong couplings to meson pairs through OZI violations. A coherent picture of the other I=0 scalar mesons spectra within this mixing scheme is shortly discussed. We also expect the a_0(980) to be the lowest isovector \bar ud state, and the K^*_0(1430) its \bar ds partner.

The electroweak Higgs boson has been discovered in ongoing experiments at the LHC, leading to a mass of this particle of 126 GeV. This Higgs boson mediates the generation of mass for elementary particles, including the mass of elementary (current) quarks. These current-quark masses leave 98% of the mass of the atom unexplained. This large fraction is mediated by strong interaction, where instead of the Higgs boson the $\sigma$ meson is the mediating particle. Though already discovered in 1957 by Schwinger, the $\sigma$ meson has been integrated out in many theories of hadron properties because it had not been observed and was doubted to exist. With the observation of the $\sigma$ meson in recent experiments on Compton scattering by the nucleon at MAMI (Mainz) it has become timely to review the status of experimental and theoretical researches on this topic.

In the model-independent approach consisting in the immediate application to the analysis of experimental data of such general principles as analyticity and unitarity, a confirmation of the $\sigma$-meson at $\sim$ 665 MeV and an indication for the glueball nature of the $f_0(1500)$ state are obtained on the basis of a simultaneous description of the isoscalar s-wave channel of the $\pi\pi$ scattering (from the threshold up to 1.9 GeV) and of the $\pi\pi\to K\bar{K}$ process (from the threshold to $\sim$ 1.4 GeV where the 2-channel unitarity is valid). A parameterless description of the $\pi\pi$ background is first given by allowance for the left-hand branch-point in the proper uniformizing variable. It is shown that the large $\pi\pi$-background, usually obtained, combines, in reality, the influence of the left-hand branch-point and the contribution of a very wide resonance at $\sim$ 665 MeV. The coupling constants of the observed states with the $\pi\pi$ and $K\bar{K}$ systems and lengths of the $\pi\pi$ and $K\bar{K}$ scattering are obtained.

We present a systematic calculation of the current jet production semi-inclusive deeply inelastic scattering process at the Electron-Ion Collider energy. Contributions from weak interactions are considered which give rise to parity violating effects. We consider the general form of the polarized electron beam scattering off the polarized target which has spin 1. The calculations are carried out up to twist-3 level in the quantum chromodynamics parton model by applying the collinear expansion where multiple gluon scattering is taken into account and gauge links are obtained automatically. We present complete results for structure functions and spin/azimuthal asymmetries in terms of the gauge invariant transverse momentum dependent parton distribution functions. Both the unpolarized and the polarized electron beam cases correspond to 24 azimuthal asymmetries, in which 6 of them appear at the leading twist, while 18 of them contribute at twist-3 level. In addition we also calculate the parity-violating asymmetries which arise from the interference of the electromagnetic and weak interactions.

We study the process gg -> b bbar H+ H- at large tan(beta), where it represents the dominant production mode of charged Higgs boson pairs in a Type II 2-Higgs Doublet Model, including the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model. The ability to select this signal would in principle enable the measurements of some triple-Higgs couplings, which in turn would help understanding the structure of the extended Higgs sector.

We study the process gg -> b bbar H+ H- at large tan(beta), where it represents the dominant production mode of charged Higgs boson pairs in a Type II 2-Higgs Doublet Model, including the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model. The ability to select this signal would in principle enable the measurements of some triple-Higgs couplings, which in turn would help understanding the structure of the extended Higgs sector.

Within the context of supersymmetric hybrid inflation, we study a multiple-stage inflationary scenario that can generate a primordial spectrum of adiabatic density perturbations with a break at $k_b \simeq 0.05 h Mpc^{-1}$. The presence of such a break is supported by the APM galaxy survey data. We consider a specific model within this scenario and confront it with observational data. We reproduce the angular power spectrum of CMB anisotropies, and also account for the break in the power spectrum of galaxy clustering. In addition, we find a value for $\sigma_8$ in agreement with the one deduced from observations. A characteristic property of the spectrum is a drop of the spectral index from $n \simeq 1$ to $n \sim 0.6$ at $k \sim k_b$.

The interior of Earth's core can be explored using weak interactions of atmospheric neutrinos. This would complement gravitational and seismic measurements, paving the way for multimessenger tomography of Earth. Oscillations of atmospheric neutrinos passing through Earth are affected by the ambient electron density. We demonstrate that atmospheric neutrinos can probe the possible existence of dark matter inside Earth's core in a unique way - by measuring the amount of baryonic matter using neutrino oscillations. We find that a detector like ICAL at INO with muon charge identification capability can be sensitive to dark matter with $\sim5\%-6\%$ mass of Earth, at 1$\sigma$ level with 500 kt$\cdot$yr exposure. We show that while it will not be possible to identify the dark matter profile using neutrino oscillation experiments, the baryonic matter profile inside the core can be probed with atmospheric neutrinos.

Littlest Higgs model predicts some extra particles beyond the Standard Model. Among them, an extra neutral gauge boson A_H is lightest and its mass could be a few hundred GeV. We study production and decay of A_H at future e^+ e^- inear collider and compare them with those of Z' bosons in supersymmetric (SUSY) E_6 models. We find that, if the extra gauge boson mass is smaller than \sqrt{s} of the linear collider, the forward-backward asymmetries of b- and c-quarks at the A_H pole differ significantly from those given by the Z' bosons, and are useful to test the littlest Higgs model and SUSY E_6 models.

We adopt a Markov Chain Monte Carlo method to examine various new physics models which can generate the forward-backward asymmetry in top quark pair production observed at the Tevatron by the CDF Collaboration. We study the following new physics models: (1) exotic gluon $G^\prime$, (2) extra $Z^\prime$ boson with flavor-conserving interaction, (3) extra $Z^\prime$ with flavor-violating $u$-$t$-$Z^\prime$ interaction, (4) extra $W^\prime$ with flavor-violating $d$-$t$-$W^\prime$ interaction, and (5) extra scalars $S$ and $S^\pm$ with flavor-violating $u$-$t$-$S$ and $d$-$t$-$S^\pm$ interactions. After combining the forward-backward asymmetry with the measurement of the top pair production cross section and the $t\bar{t}$ invariant mass distribution at the Tevatron, we find that an axial vector exotic gluon $G^\prime$ of mass about $1 {\rm TeV}$ or $2 {\rm TeV}$ or a $W^\prime$ of mass about $2 {\rm TeV}$ offer an improvement over the Standard Model. The other models considered do not fit the data significantly better than the Standard Model. We also emphasize a few points which have been long ignored in the literature for new physics searches: (1) heavy resonance width effects, (2) renormalization scale dependence, and (3) NLO corrections to the $t\bar{t}$ invariant mass spectrum. We argue that these three effects are crucial to test or exclude new physics effects in the top quark pair asymmetry.

We explore a fermionic dark matter model with a possible extension of Standard Model (SM) of particle physics into two Higgs doublet model. Higgs doublets couple to the singlet fermionic dark matter (FDM) through a non renormalisable coupling providing a new physics scale. We explore the viability of such dark matter candidate and constrain the model parameter space by collider serach, relic density of DM, direct detection measurements of DM-nucleon scattreing cross-section and with the experimentally obtained results from indirect search of dark matter.

We study possible non-standard $tuZ$ and $tcZ$ couplings, which induce flavor-changing neutral-current decays of the top quark, in the effective-Lagrangian framework. The corresponding interaction Lagrangian comes from several $SU(3) \times SU(2) \times U(1)$ invariant dimension-6 effective operators, and it includes four independent complex-number coupling constants. Constraints on those non-standard coupling constants in each interaction are derived by using the present experimental limits of the branching fractions for $t \to u Z$ and $t \to c Z$ processes. Expected improvements of the constraints at future facilities are discussed as well. It is also pointed out that some correlations hold among those constrained coupling constants.

The general features of the evolution of the Yukawa coupling constants and seesaw operators in the universal seesaw model with det M_F=0 are investigated. Especially, it is checked whether the model causes bursts of Yukawa coupling constants, because in the model not only the magnitude of the Yukawa coupling constant (Y_L^u)_{33} in the up-quark sector but also that of (Y_L^d)_{33} in the down-quark sector is of the order of one, i.e., (Y_L^u)_{33} \sim (Y_L^d)_{33} \sim 1. The requirement that the model should be calculable perturbatively puts some constraints on the values of the intermediate mass scales and tan\beta (in the SUSY model).

We discuss long-distance QCD corrections to the WIMP-nucleon(s) interactions in the framework of chiral effective theory. For scalar-mediated WIMP-quark interactions, we calculate all the next-to-leading-order corrections to the WIMP-nucleus elastic cross-section, including two-nucleon amplitudes and recoil-energy dependent shifts to the single-nucleon scalar form factors. As a consequence, the scalar-mediated WIMP-nucleus cross-section cannot be parameterized in terms of just two quantities, namely the neutron and proton scalar form factors at zero momentum transfer, but additional parameters appear, depending on the short-distance WIMP-quark interaction. Moreover, multiplicative factorization of the cross-section into particle, nuclear and astro-particle parts is violated. In practice, while the new effects are of the natural size expected by chiral power counting, they become very important in those regions of parameter space where the leading order WIMP-nucleus amplitude is suppressed, including the so-called "isospin-violating dark matter" regime. In these regions of parameter space we find order-of-magnitude corrections to the total scattering rates and qualitative changes to the shape of recoil spectra.

The recent observation of the cosmic microwave background anisotropy by the WMAP confirmed that the lower multipoles are considerably suppressed. From the standpoint of the cosmic variance, it is nothing but a statistical accident. Alternatively, one can attribute the deficit of fluctuation on the large scale to the cosmic history, which might be explained in the context of the inflationary physics. In this paper, we show that it is possible to explain the suppressed lower multipoles in the hybrid new inflation model.

We review models of new physics in which dark matter arises as a composite bound state from a confining strongly-coupled non-Abelian gauge theory. We discuss several qualitatively distinct classes of composite candidates, including dark mesons, dark baryons, and dark glueballs. We highlight some of the promising strategies for direct detection, especially through dark moments, using the symmetries and properties of the composite description to identify the operators that dominate the interactions of dark matter with matter, as well as dark matter self-interactions. We briefly discuss the implications of these theories at colliders, especially the (potentially novel) phenomenology of dark mesons in various regimes of the models. Throughout the review, we highlight the use of lattice calculations in the study of these strongly-coupled theories, to obtain precise quantitative predictions and new insights into the dynamics.

The capability of the NLC run in the $\gamma e$ collision mode to probe the CP-conserving $\gamma WW$ and $\gamma ZZ$ anomalous couplings through the use of the polarization asymmetry is reviewed. When combined with other measurements, very strong constraints on both varieties of anomalous couplings can be obtained. We show that these bounds are complementary to those that can be extracted from data taken at the LHC.

We study exclusive production of scalar $\chi_{c0}\equiv \chi_c(0^{++})$ and pseudoscalar $\eta_c$ charmonia states in proton-proton collisions at the LHC energies. The amplitudes for $gg \to \chi_{c0}$ as well as for $gg \to \eta_c$ mechanisms are derived in the $k_{T}$-factorization approach. The $p p \to p p \eta_c$ reaction is discussed for the first time. We have calculated rapidity, transverse momentum distributions as well as such correlation observables as the distribution in relative azimuthal angle and $(t_1,t_2)$ distributions. The latter two observables are very different for $\chi_{c0}$ and $\eta_c$ cases. In contrast to the inclusive production of these mesons considered very recently in the literature, in the exclusive case the cross section for $\eta_c$ is much lower than that for $\chi_{c0}$ which is due to a special interplay of the corresponding vertices and off-diagonal UGDFs used to calculate the cross sections. We present the numerical results for the key observables in the framework of potential models for the light-front quarkonia wave functions. We also discuss how different are the absorptive corrections for both considered cases.

We calculate the 1/N corrections to the probability distributions of quadratic discrepancies for sets of N random points. This is achieved by the introduction of fermionic variables. We give the diagrammatic expansion up to and including the second order in 1/N. For some discrepancies, we give the explicit expansion to first order.

Motivated by the recent LHCb collaboration measurements of charmless three-body decays of $\bar B_s^0$ meson, we calculate the branching fractions of $\bar B_s ^0 \to K^0 \pi^+\pi^-$, $\bar B_s ^0 \to K^0 K^+K^-$, $\bar B_s ^0 \to K^0 \pi^+K^-$ and $\bar B_s ^0 \to \bar K^0 K^+\pi^-$ decay modes using the factorization approach. Both the resonant and nonresonant contributions are studied in detail. For the decays $\bar B_s ^0 \to K^0 \pi^+\pi^-$ and $\bar B_s ^0 \to K^0 K^+K^-$, our results agree well with experimental data, and the former is dominated by the $K^*$, while the latter one is dominated by the nonresonant contribution. Considering the flavor SU(3) symmetry violation, the sum of branching fractions of $\bar B_s ^0 \to K^0 \pi^+K^-$ and $\bar B_s ^0 \to \bar K^0 K^+\pi^-$ could accommodate the data well too. It should be noted that both branching fractions are sensitive to the scalar density $< K\pi| \bar s q|0>$. Furthermore, the resonant contributions are dominated by the scalar $K_0^*(1430)$. We hope that these branching fractions could be measured individually in the experiments so as to test the factorization approach and the flavor SU(3) asymmetry. Moreover, the direct CP asymmetries of these decays are also investigated, which could be measured in the running LHCb experiment and Super-b factory in the future.
