We studied the process $\gamma\gamma \to t\bar{c}+c\bar{t}$ in a $R_{p}$ violating supersymmetric Model with the effects from both B- and L-violating interactions. The calculation shows that it is possible to detect a $R_{p}$ violating signal at the Next Linear Collider. Information about the B-violating interaction in this model could be obtained under very clean background, if we take the present upper bounds for the parameters in the supersymmetric $\rlap/ R_{p}$ interactions. Even if we can not detect a signal of $\rlap/R_{p}$ in the experiment, we may get more stringent constraints on the heavy-flavor $\rlap/R_{p}$ couplings.

The usual description of self-induced flavor conversions for neutrinos (\nu's) in supernovae is based on the simplified assumption that all the \nu's of the different species are emitted "half-isotropically" by a common neutrinosphere, in analogy to a blackbody emission. However, realistic supernova simulations show that \nu angular distributions at decoupling are far from being half-isotropic and, above all, are flavor-dependent. We show that flavor-dependent angular distributions may lead to crossing points in the angular spectra of different \nu species (where F_{\nu_e}=F_{\nu_x} and F_{{\bar\nu}_e}=F_{{\bar\nu}_x}) around which a new multi-angle instability can develop. To characterize this effect, we carry out a linearized flavor stability analysis for different SN neutrino angular distributions. We find that this instability can shift the onset of the flavor conversions toward low-radii and produce a smearing of the splitting features found with trivial $\nu$ emission models. As a result the spectral differences among \nu's of different flavors could be strongly reduced.

The evolution equations were derived by several groups with apparent differences. We identify the sources that are responsible for the differences, and are able to reconcile the results from various groups.

Algebraic reduction of integrals to a set of master integrals is described, methods of determining the master integrals are presented, and a complete list of master integrals is given. As a sample application, the top quark decay width is calculated to O(alpha_s^2) accuracy.

An extensive programme of 2-photon physics is proposed, focusing on measurements of the polarized photon structure functions g1 and g2 and pseudoscalar meson transition functions. The experimental requirements for Super-B to make the first measurement of the first moment sum rule for the off-shell polarized photon structure function g1(x,Q^2;K^2) are described in detail. Cross-section formulae and experimental issues for investigations of NLO and higher-twist effects in g1 and g2 together with exclusive 2-photon meson production are presented.

The little Higgs scenario may provide an interesting framework to accommodate TeV scale leptogenesis because a TeV Majorana mass of the right-handed neutrino that we employ for the latter may find a natural place near the ultraviolet cutoff of the former. In this work we study how a light neutrino spectrum, generated radiatively, and TeV scale leptogenesis can be embedded in the simplest little Higgs framework. Alternatively, we highlight how the neutrino Yukawa textures of the latter are constrained.

The process of stop-chargino production at LHC has been calculated in the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model at the complete electroweak one-loop level, assuming a mSUGRA symmetry breaking scheme. Several properties of the angular and invariant mass distributions of the basic bottom-gluon to stop-chargino amplitudes have been derived. For a meaningful collection of different benchmark points the overall electroweak one-loop effects are at most of the order of a few percent. At the realistically expected LHC accuracy, the main supersymmetric electroweak features of the process can be therefore essentially derived in this theoretical scheme from the simple Born level expressions.

The resummation of logarithms in Quantum Field Theories is a long tale plenty of successes, yet the resummation of logarithms in non-relativistic theories has remained elusive. This was the most frustrating, since the first quantum field theory log ever computed was the Lamb shift one. We briefly review recent progress on the resummation of logarithms of $\alpha$, which appear in the physics of non-relativistic states, using effective field theories. We put special emphasis on the basic formalism.

Transverse momentum dependent (TMD) parton distributions in a proton are important in high energy physics from both theoretical and phenomenological points of view. Using the latest RHIC and LHC data on the inclusive soft hadron production in $pp$ and $AA$ collisions at small transverse momenta, we determine the parameters of the initial TMD gluon density, derived in the framework of quark-gluon string model at the low scale $\mu_0 \sim 1 - 2$ GeV and refine its large-$x$ behaviour using the LHC data on the $t \bar t$ production at $\sqrt s = 13$ TeV. Then, we apply the Catani-Ciafaloni-Fiorani-Marchesini (CCFM) evolution equation to extend the obtained TMD gluon density to the whole kinematical region. In addition, the complementary TMD valence and sea quark distributions are generated. The latter are evaluated in the approximation where the gluon-to-quark splitting occurs at the last evolution step using the TMD gluon-to-quark splitting function. Several phenomenological applications of the proposed TMD quark and gluon densities to the LHC processes are discussed.

We consider a simplified model of fermionic dark matter which couples exclusively to the right-handed top quark via a renormalizable interaction with a color-charged scalar. We first compute the relic abundance of this type of dark matter and investigate constraints placed on the model parameter space by the latest direct detection data. We also perform a detailed analysis for the production of dark matter at the LHC for this model. We find several kinematic variables that allow for a clean signal extraction and we show that the parameter space of this model will be well probed during LHC Run-II. Finally, we investigate the possibility of detecting this type of dark matter via its annihilations into gamma rays. We compute the continuum and the line emission (which includes a possible "Higgs in Space" line) and its possible discovery by future gamma-ray telescopes. We find that the annihilation spectrum has distinctive features which may distinguish it from other models.

Using the MIT bag model, we calculate the free energy of droplets of quark-gluon plasma in a bulk hadronic medium, and of hadronic bubbles in a bulk quark-gluon plasma, under the assumption of vanishing chemical potentials. We investigate the validity of the multiple reflection expansion approximation, and we advise a novel procedure for calculating finite-size corrections to the free energy of hadronic bubbles in a bulk quark-gluon plasma. While our results agree largely with earlier calculations, we show that the usual multiple reflection expansion should be used with caution, and we propose a modification of the multiple reflection expansion, which makes this approximation agree nicely with direct numerical calculations. The results should be of relevance in connection with the cosmological quark-hadron transition as well as for ultrarelativistic heavy ion collisions.

We discuss the production of two pion pairs in photon collisions at high energies as it can take place in ultraperipheral collisions at hadron colliders such as the LHC. We calculate the according matrix elements in kT factorization and discuss the possibility to reveal the existence of the perturbative Odderon by charge asymmetries.

In this paper, we propose and study a model, in which there exists only one basic neutrino. Basically, the Lagrangian of the model is obtained from the Lagrangian in the Glashow-Weinberg-Salam electroweak theory by reducing the three flavor neutrinos there to one basic neutrino. In this model, neutrino states with a fixed flavor are interpreted as certain superpositions of states of the basic neutrino and states of the related charged lepton. Neutrino mass states are associated with low-lying eigenstates of the total Hamiltonian. We derive an approximate expression for a ratio of neutrino-mass differences, which gives a value $17$ for the ratio, about half of the experimental result of $33$.

The screening masses of hot SU(N) gauge theory, defined as poles of the corresponding propagators are studied in 3d adjoint Higgs model, considered as an effective theory of QCD, using coupled gap equations and lattice Monte-Carlo simulations (for N=2). Using so-called lambda gauges non-perturbative evidence for gauge independence of the pole masses within this class of gauges is given. A possible application of the screening masses for the resummation of the free energy is discussed.

A foremost task in understanding the nature of the $X(3872)$ involves the discrimination of the two-quark and multiquark configurations. In this work, we propose a method to probe the short-distance component of the $X(3872)$ by measuring the ratio between the $B_c$ semileptonic and nonleptonic decays into the $X(3872)$. We demonstrate that if the $X(3872)$ production mechanism is through the $\bar cc$ component, the ratios would be universal and could be reliably predicted in theory. Measurements of these ratios at LHC and the next-generation electron-positron colliders are capable of validating/invalidating this production mechanism and providing deeper insights into the nature of the $X(3872)$.

The BES collaboration has recently observed a strong enhancement close to the proton-antiproton threshold in the J/Psi decays into photon, proton and antiproton. Such a structure can be explained by a traditional nucleon-antinucleon model. The near threshold 1S0 bound state and/or the well-established 3P0 resonant state found in this nucleon-antinucleon interaction can adequately describe the BES data.

The current cosmological bound on the invisible axion scale may be avoided in the class of theories in which the gauge coupling constant is determined through the expectation value of some scalar field (e.g. moduli in supergravity and string theories). This leads to the cosmological scenario different from that of the standard invisible axion, since the initial values of the fields are usually far away from their true minima, allowing for the color group becoming strong in the very early universe and fixing the axion field to its minimum. The effect disappears as soon as scalar field adjusts to its present value, but the above is enough to ensure that the deviation of the axion expectation value from the minimum is negligible at the moment of the QCD phase transition and thus to eliminate the troublesome coherent oscillations. This may imply that the standard axion window does not necessarily hold in generic supergravity theories. The above observation may open a natural possibility for the existence of the axion resulting from the GUT or R-symmetry breaking.

We derive a suite of generalized Boltzmann equations, based on the density-matrix formalism, that incorporates the physics of neutrino oscillations for two- and three-flavor oscillations, matter refraction, and self-refraction. The resulting equations are straightforward extensions of the classical transport equations that nevertheless contain the full physics of quantum oscillation phenomena. In this way, our broadened formalism provides a bridge between the familiar neutrino transport algorithms employed by supernova modelers and the more quantum-heavy approaches frequently employed to illuminate the various neutrino oscillation effects. We also provide the corresponding angular-moment versions of this generalized equation set. Our goal is to make it easier for astrophysicists to address oscillation phenomena in a language with which they are familiar. The equations we derive are simple and practical, and are intended to facilitate progress concerning oscillation phenomena in the context of core-collapse supernova theory.

Multi-peaked spectra of the primordial gravitational waves are considered as a phenomenologically relevant source of information about the dynamics of sequential phase transitions in the early Universe. In particular, such signatures trace back to specific patterns of the first-order electroweak phase transition in the early Universe occurring in multiple steps. Such phenomena appear to be rather generic in multi-scalar extensions of the Standard Model. In a particularly simple extension of the Higgs sector, we have identified and studied the emergence of sequential long- and short-lasting transitions as well as their fundamental role in generation of multi-peaked structures in the primordial gravitational-wave spectrum. We discuss the potential detectability of these signatures by the proposed gravitational-wave interferometers.

We explore the possibility of light and superlight sterile neutrinos in the recently proposed Minimal Radiative Inverse Seesaw extension of the Standard Model for neutrino masses, in which all existing neutrino data can be explained. In particular, we discuss two benchmark scenarios with one of the three sterile neutrino states in the keV-range, having very small mixing with the active neutrinos to account for the Dark Matter in the Universe, while (i) the other two light sterile neutrino states could be in the eV-range, possessing a nonzero mixing with the active states as required to explain the LSND+MiniBooNE+reactor neutrino data, or (ii) one of the light sterile states is in the eV-range, whereas the second one could be superlight and almost mass-degenerate with the solar neutrinos. Such superlight sterile neutrinos could give rise to potentially observable effects in future neutrino oscillation experiments and may also offer a possible explanation for the extra radiation observed in the Universe.

In models with partially composite quarks, the couplings of quarks to the Z boson generically receive non-universal corrections that are not only constrained by electroweak precision tests but also lead to flavour-changing neutral currents at tree level. The impact of these flavour-changing couplings on rare K and B decays is studied in two-site models for three scenarios: an anarchic strong sector with two different choices of fermion representations both leading to a custodial protection of the Z->bb coupling, and for a strong sector invariant under a U(2)^3 flavour symmetry. In the complete numerical analysis, all relevant constraints from Delta(F)=2 processes are taken into account. In all scenarios, visible effects in rare K and B decays like K->pi nu anti-nu, B(s)->mu+mu- and B->K*mu+mu- are possible that can be scrutinized experimentally in the near future. Characteristic correlations between observables allow to distinguish the different cases. To sample the large parameter space of the anarchic models, a new method is presented that allows larger statistics than conventional approaches.

The cosmological evolution can be described in terms of directly measurable cosmological scalar parameters (deceleration $q$, jerk $j$, snap $s$, etc...) constructed out of high order derivatives of the scale factor. Their behavior at the critical temperature of the Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) phase transition in early universe could be a specific tool to study the transition, analogously to the fluctuations of conserved charges in QCD. We analyze the effect of the crossover transition from quarks and gluons to hadrons in early universe on the cosmological scalars and on the gravitational wave spectrum, by using the recent lattice QCD equation of state and including the electroweak degrees of freedom and different models of dark matter. Near the transition the cosmological parameters follow the behavior of QCD trace anomaly and of the speed of sound of the entire system. The effects of deconfinement turn out to be more relevant for the modification of the primordial spectrum of gravitational waves and our complete analysis, based on lattice QCD simulations and on the hadron resonance gas below the critical temperature, refines previous results.

There are other mechanisms in which two kaons are produced through the same sequential mechanisms or from $\phi$ decay into two kaons and then undergo final state interaction leading to the final pair of pions or $\pi^0 \eta$, this latter mechanism being the leading one. The results of the parameter free theory, together with the theoretical uncertainties, are compared with the latest experimental results of KLOE at Frascati.

We study the QCD phase diagram at finite temperature and baryon chemical potential by relating the behavior of the light-quark condensate to the threshold energy for the onset of perturbative QCD. These parameters are connected to the chiral symmetry restoration and the deconfinement phase transition, respectively. This relation is obtained in the framework of finite energy QCD sum rules at finite temperature and density, with input from Schwinger-Dyson methods to determine the light-quark condensate. Results indicate that both critical temperatures are basically the same within some 3% accuracy. We also obtain bounds for the position of the critical end point, mu_{B c} >~ 300 MeV and T_c <~ 185 MeV.

Within the standard model, we calculate the radiative $B\rightarrow K^{\star}\gamma$ decay rate based on a Bethe-Salpeter description for the meson wave functions and the hadronic matrix elements. With a reasonable choice of parameters the branching ratio BR($B \rightarrow K^{\star}\gamma$) is found to be $(3.8-4.6)\times 10^{-5}$, which is in agreement with the CLEO experimental data. We also find with $m_{b}=5.12 GeV$ the ratio $R\equiv {\Gamma (B\rightarrow K^{\star}\gamma )}/{\Gamma (b\rightarrow s\gamma )}=(10-12)\%$, which can be slightly larger if a smaller $m_{b}$ is chosen. In this approach, the light degrees of freedom in mesons are treated as light constituent quarks with relativistic kinematics, and the form factors in the decay amplitude are essentially determined by the relativistic kenematics and the overlap of wave functions of the initial and final state mesons. Due to the large recoil momentum of the $K^{\star}$ meson at the $B$ meson rest frame, the form factors are sensitive to the overlap integral of the meson wave functions, which are determined dynamically by a QCD-motivated inter-quark potential. Relativistic effects on the meson wave functions mainly due to the Breit-Fermi interactions are found to be significant in determining the decay rate.

We study the one-loop supersymmetric contributions to lepton-flavor violating $Z$ -boson decays in a fully left-right symmetric model. In addition to right-handed scalar neutrinos, the decays could receive important contributions from doubly-charged triplet Higgsinos which couple to leptons only. We find that the decay widths reach present experimental bounds and discuss mass constraints for the contributing supersymmetric partners.

Using the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon as an example, we detail the use of effective vertices in loop calculations. We then provide estimates of the sensitivity of new experiments measuring the muon's $ g - 2 $ to the scale of physics underlying the Standard Model.

We study the nature of the chiral symmetry restoration within the Yukawa model with spontaneous symmetry breaking. We work with scalar and fermion fields which are subject to the effects of a rotating system. In this work, we show the derivation of the scalar field propagator in a rotating medium using the Fock-Schwinger proper-time method. We compute analytically the effective potential in the high-temperature approximations, including the contribution of the ring diagrams to account for the plasma screening properties. We study the chiral transition as we vary the angular velocity $\Omega$, the boson self-coupling $\lambda$ and the fermion-boson coupling $g$. We show that the critical temperature for the restoration of chiral symmetry always starts with decreasing behaviour, until it reaches a minimum and from there when increasing $\Omega$, we observe $T_c$ increases monotonically. In all the phase transition lines in the $T-\Omega$ plane reported, we obtain that the rotating effects are able to change the order of the phase transition.

Some non perturbative aspects of the pure SU(3) Yang-Mills theory are investigated assuming a specific form of the beta function, based on a recent modification by Ryttov and Sannino of the known one for supersymmetric gauge theories. The characteristic feature is a pole at a particular value of the coupling constant, g. First it is noted, using dimensional analysis, that physical quantities behave smoothly as one travels from one side of the pole to the other. Then it is argued that the form of the integrated beta function g(m), where m is the mass scale, determines the mass gap of the theory. Assuming the usual QCD value one finds it to be 1.67 GeV, which is in surprisingly good agreement with a quenched lattice calculation. A similar calculation is made for the supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory where the corresponding beta function is considered to be exact.

{We present an updated assessment of the reach of the CERN LHC pp collider for supersymmetric matter in the context of the minimal supergravity (mSUGRA) model. In addition to previously examined channels, we also include signals with an isolated photon or with a leptonically decaying Z boson. For an integrated luminosity of 100 fb^{-1}, values of m_{1/2}\sim 1400 GeV can be probed for small m_0, corresponding to a gluino mass of m_{\tg}\sim 3 TeV. For large m_0, in the hyperbolic branch/focus point region, m_{1/2}\sim 700 GeV can be probed, corresponding to m_{\tg}\sim 1800 GeV. We also map out parameter space regions preferred by the measured values of the dark matter relic density, the b\to s\gamma decay rate, and the muon anomalous magnetic moment a_\mu, and discuss how SUSY might reveal itself in these regions. We find the CERN LHC can probe the entire stau co-annihilation region and also most of the heavy Higgs annihilation funnel allowed by WMAP data, except for some range of large m_0 and m_{1/2} if \tan\beta \agt 50.

We show that non-factorizable phases are important in order to generate a sufficiently large $\sin 2 \beta $. A method is suggested to reconstruct the flavour structure of Yukawa couplings from input experimental data both in this Hermitian basis and in a non-Hermitian basis with a maximal number of texture zeros. The corresponding Froggatt--Nielsen patterns are presented in both cases.

The perturbative QCD corrections to the semileptonic decay width of the tau lepton are evaluated in the next-next-to-leading order from the contour integral representation in various renormalization schemes, using numerical solution of the renormalization group equation for complex energies. A quantitative estimate of the ambiguities resulting from the freedom of choice of the renormalization scheme is obtained by taking into account predictions in all schemes that do not involve large cancellations in the expression for the scheme invariant combination of the expansion coefficients. The problem of an optimal choice of the renormalization scheme for the improved perturbative expression is discussed. A fit of $\Lambda_{\overline{MS}}$ is made using the available experimental data.

The Gell-Mann-Levy (GML), Schwinger and Standard Models were previously shown to lack a Brout-Englert-Higgs (BEH) fine-tuning problem due to quadratic divergences, with finite Euclidean cut-off \Lambda, because of the symmetries obeyed by all O(\Lambda^2) contributions. We extend those results to finite contributions from certain M_{Heavy}^2>> m_{BEH}^2 particles in SO(2) versions of GML and Schwinger. We demonstrate explicit 1-loop physical naturalness for two SO(2) singlet examples: a heavy real scalar S and a right-handed Type 1 see-saw Majorana neutrino. We prove that for low |q^2| the heavy degrees of freedom contribute, at worst, marginal operators in spontaneously broken SO(2) Schwinger. The key GML lesson from these examples is that the pseudo Nambu-Goldstone boson (NGB) mass-squared must be properly renormalized. A true NGB value, m_3^2 = 0, is then protected by the Goldstone theorem. For the Schwinger model, two crucial observations emerge: global Ward-Takahashi identities (WTI) force all relevant operators into the pseudo-NGB mass-squared; and WTI enforce the Goldstone theorem by forbidding all relevant operator contributions in the spontaneously broken Goldstone mode, \pi_3 is a massless NGB there. Goldstone mode, with weak-scale m_{BEH}^2 \& <H>^2, is not-fine-tuned even as a low-energy effective theory with certain high-mass-scale extensions. Its "Goldstone Exceptional Naturalness (GEN)," where all relevant operators vanish, a powerful suppression of fine-tuning, is simply another (albeit un-familiar) consequence of WTI, spontaneous symmetry breaking and the Goldstone theorem. If GEN can somehow be extended to the Standard Model (SM), there should be no expectation that LHC will discover any Beyond the SM physics unrelated to neutrino mixing, i.e. the only known experimentally necessary modification of the Standard Model plus General Relativity paradigm.

We suggest a new point of view according to which baryon resonances can be understood as collective excitations about intrinsic one-quark excitations in a mean field of definite symmetry. This approach is justified in the limit of large number of colours Nc, and is similar to the physics of large-A nuclei, hence "quark nuclear physics". Although in the real world Nc is only three, we obtain a good agreement with the observed resonance spectrum of light baryons up to 2 GeV, and of lowest charmed baryon multiplets. A by-product of the scheme is the prediction of new exotic charmed (and bottom) baryons that may be stable against strong decays.

We study the effects of non-commutative QED (NCQED) in fermion pair production, gamma + gamma to f + \bar{f} and Compton scattering, e + gamma to e + gamma. Non-commutative geometries give rise to 3- and 4-point photon vertices and to momentum dependent phase factors in QED vertices which will have observable effects in high energy collisions. We consider e^+ e^- colliders with energies appropriate to the TeV Linear Collider proposals and the multi-TeV CLIC project operating in gamma gamma and e gamma modes. Non-commutative scales roughly equal to the center of mass energy of the e^+e^- collider can be probed, with the exact value depending on the model parameters and experimental factors. The Compton process is sensitive to Lambda_{NC} values roughly twice as large as those accessible to the pair production process.

Precision probes of new physics are often interpreted through their indirect sensitivity to short-distance scales. In this proceedings contribution, we focus on the question of which precision observables, at current sensitivity levels, allow for an interpretation via either short-distance new physics or consistent models of long-distance new physics, weakly coupled to the Standard Model. The electroweak scale is chosen to set the dividing line between these scenarios. In particular, we find that inverse see-saw models of neutrino mass allow for light new physics interpretations of most precision leptonic observables, such as lepton universality, lepton flavor violation, but not for the electron EDM.

In the 3-flavour framework we derive a simple approximate analytic expression for the day-night difference of the flux of solar $\nu_e$ at terrestrial detectors which is valid for an arbitrary Earth density profile. Our formula has the accuracy of a few per cent and reproduces all the known analytic expressions for the Earth matter effects on the solar neutrino oscillations obtained under simplifying assumptions about the Earth's density profile (matter of constant density, 3 layers of constant densities, and adiabatic approximation). It can also be used for studying the Earth matter effects on the oscillations of supernova neutrinos. We also discuss the possibility of probing the leptonic mixing angle $\theta_{13}$ through day--night asymmetry measurements at future water Cherenkov solar neutrino detectors. We show that, depending on the measured value of the asymmetry, the current upper bound on $\theta_{13}$ may be improved, or even a lower bound on this mixing parameter may be obtained.

We study a possibility of a measurement of muon Yukawa couplings in s-channel Higgs boson production at a muon collider with transversely polarized beams. We investigate sensitivity to the relative size of the CP-odd and CP-even muon Yukawa couplings. Provided the event rate observed justify the operation of the $\mu^+\mu^-$ Higgs boson factory, we have found that polarization degree 40% is sufficient to resolve the CP nature of a single resonance as well as disentangle it from two overlapping CP conserving resonances.

We study the phenomenology of a model that addresses the neutrino mass, dark matter, and generation of the electroweak scale in a single framework. Electroweak symmetry breaking is realized via the Coleman-Weinberg mechanism in a classically scale invariant theory, while the neutrino mass is generated radiatively through interactions with dark matter in a typically scotogenic manner. The model introduces a scalar triplet and singlet and a vector-like fermion doublet that carry an odd parity of $Z_2$, and an even parity scalar singlet that helps preserve classical scale invariance. We sample over the parameter space by taking into account various experimental constraints from the dark matter relic density and direct detection, direct scalar searches, neutrino mass, and charged lepton flavor violating decays. We then examine by detailed simulations possible signatures at the LHC to find some benchmark points of the free parameters. We find that the future high-luminosity LHC will have a significant potential in detecting new physics signals in the dilepton channel.

In this work, we study the spin density matrix element $\rho_{00}$ of the $\phi$ in the decay $J/\psi \rightarrow \eta \pi \phi$. In previous studies, a band around 1.4 GeV on the $\pi^0\phi$ distribution in Dalitz plot was reported by the BESIII Collaboration. This structure may be caused by the production of a resonance or the triangle singularity mechanism. We find that the predictions of the spin density matrix elements of the final $\phi$ based on these mechanisms show distinct features. Thus the measurement of the spin density matrix elements of the $\phi$ in this reaction may offer an alternative way to study the triangle singularity and to clarify the reaction mechanisms, i.e. resonance production or kinematic effects. This work also shows the potential of spin observables in studying kinematic singularities.

Weak $B^-\rightarrow D^0, \pi^0$ and $D^-\rightarrow {K}^0, \pi^0$ transition form factors are described in both the space- and time-like momentum transfer regions, within a constituent-quark model. Neutrino-meson scattering and semileptonic weak decays are formulated within the point form of relativistic quantum mechanics to end up with relativistic invariant process amplitudes from which meson transition currents and form factors are extracted in an unambiguous way. For space-like momentum transfers, form factors depend on the frame in which the $W M M^\prime$ vertex is considered. Such a frame dependence is expected from a pure valence-quark picture, since a complete, frame independent description of form factors is supposed to include non-valence contributions. The most important of such contributions are the $Z$-graphs, which are, however, suppressed in the infinite-momentum frame ($q^2<0$). On the other hand, they can play a significant role in the Breit frame ($q^2<0$) and in the direct decay calculation ($q^2>0$), as a comparison with the infinite-momentum-frame form factors (analytically continued to $q^2>0$) reveals. Numerical results for the analytically continued infinite-momentum-frame form factors agree very well with lattice data in the time-like momentum transfer region and the experimental value for the slope of the $F^+_{B\rightarrow D}$ transition form factor at zero recoil is reproduced satisfactorily. These predictions satisfy heavy-quark-symmetry constraints and their $q^2$ dependence is well approximated by a pole fit, reminiscent of a vector-meson-dominance-like decay mechanism. We discuss how such a decay mechanism can be accommodated within an extension of our constituent-quark model, by allowing for a non-valence component in the meson wave functions. We also address the question of wrong cluster properties inherent in the Bakamjian-Thomas formulation.

We study the production of gauge boson pairs at the next generation of linear $e^+e^-$ colliders operating in the $e\gamma$ mode. The processes $e\gamma \rightarrow VV^\prime F$ ($V,V^\prime =W$, $Z$, or $\gamma$ and $F=e$ or $\nu$) can give valuable information on possible deviations of the quartic vector boson couplings from the Standard Model predictions. We establish the range of the new couplings that can be explored in these colliders based on a $3\sigma$ effect in the total cross section. We also present several kinematical distributions of the final state particles that could manifest the underlying new dynamics. Our results show that an $e\gamma$ collider can extend considerably the bounds on anomalous interactions coming from oblique radiative corrections and from direct searches in $e^+e^-$ colliders.

We present a comprehensive study on Higgs pair production in various archetypical extended Higgs sectors such as the real and the complex 2-Higgs-Doublet Model, the 2-Higgs-Doublet Model augmented by a real singlet field and the Next-to-Minimal Supersymmetric extension of the Standard Model. We take into account all relevant theoretical and experimental constraints, in particular the experimental limits on non-resonant and resonant Higgs pair production. We present the allowed cross sections for Standard Model (SM)-like Higgs pair production and the ranges of the SM-like Yukawa and trilinear Higgs self-coupling that are still compatible with the applied constraints. Furthermore, we give results for the pair production of a SM-like with a non-SM-like Higgs boson and for the production of a pair of non-SM-like Higgs bosons. We find that di-Higgs production in the models under investigation can exceed the SM rate substantially, not only in the non-resonance region but also due to resonant enhancement. We give several benchmarks with interesting features such as large cross sections, the possibility to test CP violation, Higgs-to-Higgs cascade decays or di-Higgs production beating single Higgs production. In all of our benchmark points, the next-to-leading order QCD corrections are included in the large top-mass limit. For these points, we found that, depending on the model and the Higgs pair final state, the corrections increase the leading order cross section by a factor of 1.79 to 2.24. We also discuss the relation between the description of Higgs pair production in an effective field theory approach and in the specific models investigated here.

We consider the possibility that neutrinoless double beta decay may occur in models with unbroken lepton number via the emission of a massive gauge boson with electron lepton number $-2$. We determine the shape of the $\beta\,\beta$ sum energy spectrum as a function of the gauge coupling, independent of model-specific details. We discuss our results in light of the persistent experimental claims that excess events are observed near but below the spectrum endpoint of several elements.

In the SU(3) symmetry limit, semileptonic $D^+\to Sl^+\nu$ and $B^-\to Sl^-\bar\nu$ decays, with $S=a_0(980)$, $f_0(980)$ and $f_0(600)$, are found to obey different sum rules in the $\bar qq$ and the tetra-quark descriptions for scalar mesons. Thus these sum rules can distinguish the two scenarios for light scalar mesons model-independently. This method also applies to the $\bar B^0\to J/\psi(\eta_c) S$ decays. Two kinds of SU(3) symmetry breaking effects are found to be under control, which will not spoil our method. The branching fractions of the $D^+\to Sl^+\nu$, $B^-\to Sl^-\bar\nu$ and $\bar B^0\to J/\psi(\eta_c) S$ decays roughly have the order $10^{-4}$, $10^{-5}$ and $10^{-6}$, respectively. The ongoing BES-III and the forthcoming Super B experiments are able to measure these channels and accordingly to provide detailed information of the scalar meson inner structure.

We present an orbifold GUT model in which the NMSSM Higgs trilinear couplings are unified with the three Standard Model gauge couplings. The model is constructed as an N=2 supersymmetric SU(8) gauge theory in six dimensions, which is reduced to the NMSSM with extra U(1) factors upon compactification. Such an unification is in good agreement with experiments. The predicted upper limit for the lightest CP-even neutral Higgs boson is somewhat larger than in the MSSM, and can be tested in the upcoming Large Hadron Collider.

This article gives details of our proposal to replace ordinary chiral $SU(3)_L\times SU(3)_R$ perturbation theory $\chi$PT$_3$ by 3-flavor chiral-scale perturbation theory $\chi$PT$_\sigma$. In $\chi$PT$_\sigma$, amplitudes are expanded at low energies and small $u,d,s$ quark masses about an infrared fixed point $\alpha^{}_\mathrm{IR}$ of 3-flavor QCD. At $\alpha^{}_\mathrm{IR}$, the quark condensate $\langle \bar{q}q\rangle_{\mathrm{vac}} \not= 0$ induces nine Nambu-Goldstone bosons: $\pi, K, \eta$ and a $0^{++}$ QCD dilaton $\sigma$. Physically, $\sigma$ appears as the $f_{0}(500)$ resonance, a pole at a complex mass with real part $\lesssim m_K$. The $\Delta I=1/2$ rule for nonleptonic $K$-decays is then a consequence of $\chi$PT$_\sigma$, with a $K_S\sigma$ coupling fixed by data for $\gamma\gamma\rightarrow\pi\pi$ and $K_{S} \to \gamma\gamma$. We estimate $R_\mathrm{IR} \approx 5$ for the nonperturbative Drell-Yan ratio $R = \sigma(e^{+}e^{-}\rightarrow\mathrm{hadrons})/ \sigma(e^{+}e^{-}\rightarrow\mu^{+}\mu^{-})$ at $\alpha^{}_\mathrm{IR}$, and show that, in the many-color limit, $\sigma/f_0$ becomes a narrow $q\bar{q}$ state with planar-gluon corrections. Rules for the order of terms in $\chi$PT$_\sigma$ loop expansions are derived in Appendix A, and extended in Appendix B to include inverse-power Li-Pagels singularities due to external operators. This relates to an observation that, for $\gamma\gamma$ channels, partial conservation of the dilatation current is not equivalent to $\sigma$-pole dominance.

When the extra dimensional space is not simply-connected, dynamics of the AB phase in the extra dimension can induce dynamical gauge symmetry breaking by the Hosotani mechanism. This opens up a new way of achieving unification of gauge forces. It leads to the gauge-Higgs unification. The Hosotani mechanism can be established nonperturbatively by lattice simulations, in which measurements of the Polyakov line give a clue.

We calculate the O(alpha_s) radiative corrections to the three spin independent and five spin dependent structure functions that describe the angular decay distribution in the decay of a polarized top quark into a W-boson (followed by the decay W^{+} -> l^{+} + nu_l or by W^{+} -> anti-q + q and a bottom quark. The angular decay distribution is described in cascade fashion, i.e. the decay t(uparrow) -> W^{+} + X_b is analyzed in the top rest system while the subsequent decay W^{+} -> l^{+} + nu_l (or W^{+} -> anti-q + q) is analyzed in the W rest frame. We present our results for the eight O(alpha_s) integrated structure functions in analytical form keeping the mass of the bottom quark finite. In the limit m_b -> 0 the structure function expressions reduce to rather compact forms.

Then we discuss benchmark axion models and present their predictions concerning axion couplings to the Standard Model and axion dark matter abundance. Finally, we give an overview on the discovery potential of current and planned axion experiments, reaching from axion dark matter direct detection, over searches for solar axions, to direct production and detection of axions in the laboratory.

At high temperature the infrared modes of a weakly coupled quantum field theory can be treated nonperturbatively in real time using the classical field approximation. We use this to introduce a nonperturbative approach to the calculation of finite-temperature spectral functions, employing the classical KMS condition in real time. The method is illustrated for the one-particle spectral function in a scalar field theory in 2+1 dimensions. The result is compared with resummed two-loop perturbation theory and both the plasmon mass and width are found to agree with the analytical prediction.

In this letter, we study collider phenomenology in the supersymmetric Standard Model with a certain type of non-universal gaugino masses at the gauge coupling unification scale, motivated by the little hierarchy problem. In this scenario, especially the wino mass is relatively large compared to the gluino mass at the unification scale, and the heavy wino can relax the fine-tuning of the higgsino mass parameter, so-called $\mu$-parameter. Besides, it will enhance the lightest Higgs boson mass due to the relatively large left-right mixing of top squarks through the renormalization group (RG) effect. Then $125$ GeV Higgs boson could be accomplished, even if the top squarks are lighter than $1$ TeV and the $\mu$ parameter is within a few hundreds GeV. The right-handed top squark tends to be lighter than the other sfermions due to the RG runnings, then we focus on the top squark search at the LHC. Since the top squark is almost right-handed and the higgsinos are nearly degenerate, $2b + E_T^{\rm miss}$ channel is the most sensitive to this scenario. We figure out current and expected experimental bounds on the lightest top squark mass and model parameters at the gauge coupling unification scale.

The phenomenological evidence of quantum statistical effects in parton physics is here briefly summarized, and the recent good results obtained by parameterizing the parton distributions in terms of Fermi-Dirac and Bose-Einstein statistical functions are discussed. In this framework we study the modification of the scaling behaviour of parton distributions due to quantum statistical effects. In particular, by following a well-known formal analogy which holds between the Altarelli-Parisi evolution equations, at leading-log approximation, and a set of Boltzmann equations, we suggest a generalization of evolution equations to take into account Pauli exclusion principle and gluon induced emission.

A natural extension of the standard model to accommodate massive neutrinos is to introduce one Higgs triplet and three right-handed Majorana neutrinos, leading to a 6 \times6 neutrino mass matrix. We show that three light Majorana neutrinos (i.e., the mass eigenstates of \nu_e, \nu_\mu and \nu_\tau) are exactly massless, if and only if M_L = M_D M^{-1}_R M^T_D exactly holds in this seesaw model. We propose three simple Type-II seesaw scenarios with broken A_4 \times U(1)_X flavor symmetry to interpret the observed neutrino mass spectrum and neutrino mixing pattern. Such a TeV-scale neutrino model can be tested in two complementary ways: (1) searching for possible collider signatures of lepton number violation induced by the right-handed Majorana neutrinos and doubly-charged Higgs particles; and (2) searching for possible consequences of unitarity violation of the 3\times 3 neutrino mixing matrix in the future long-baseline neutrino oscillation experiments.

The discovery of the $X(3872)$ meant the revival of the heavy meson spectroscopy beyond naive $q\bar q$ structures. Once that the $SU(3)$ scheme, which was very useful in the dawn of the quark models, does not work for these states, one has to use new symmetries, like Heavy Quark Spin Symmetry (HQSS) and Heavy Flavor Symmetry (HFS), to look for new states. However, at the energy regions where these new states appear, new factors are involved and it is not straightforward to relate the predictions of the symmetries with the data. In this work, we present a critical analysis of this problem and show, in a coupled-channels model, how the relative position of the bare $Q\bar Q$ states with respect to meson-meson thresholds and the coupling with other channels modulate the strength of the interaction and, hence, modify the structure of the predicted states. We found a possible candidate to the $X(3872)$ partner at $10599$ MeV$/c^2$.

Primordial black holes (PBHs) accumulate weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPs) around them and form ultracompact minihalos (UCMHs), if the WIMP is a dominant component of the dark matter (DM). In this paper, we discuss that the UCMHs seeded by the PBHs with sub-earth mass enhance the WIMP annihilation in the present Universe and can successfully explain the positron and/or electron excess in cosmic ray observed by PAMELA/Fermi experiments. The signal is very similar to that from a decaying dark matter, which can explain the PAMELA and/or Fermi anomaly without conflict with any constraints as long as the decay mode is proper. In this scenario, the boost factor can be as large as 10^5. In addition, we discuss testability of our scenario by gamma-ray point source and gravitational-wave experiments.

We derive the splitting kernels for partons produced in large $Q^2$ scattering processes that subsequently traverse a region of strongly-interacting matter using a recently-developed effective theory \SCETG. We include all corrections beyond the small-$x$ approximation, consistent with the power counting of \SCETG.

We derive the splitting kernels for partons produced in large $Q^2$ scattering processes that subsequently traverse a region of strongly-interacting matter using a recently-developed effective theory \SCETG. We include all corrections beyond the small-$x$ approximation, consistent with the power counting of \SCETG. We demonstrate how medium recoil, geometry and expansion scenarios, and phase space cuts can be implemented numerically for phenomenological applications. For the simplified case of infinite transverse momentum kinematics and a uniform medium, we provide closed-form analytic results that can be used to validate the numerical simulations.

We propose a novel diagrammatic method for computing transport coefficients in relativistic quantum field theory. The self-consistent equation for summing the diagrams with pinch singularities has a form of a linearized kinetic equation as usual, but our formalism enables us to incorporate higher-order corrections of the coupling systematically for the first time. Furthermore, it is clarified that the higher-order corrections are nicely summarized into that of the vertex function, spectral function, and collision term. We identify the diagrams up to the next-to-next-leading order corrections in the weak coupling expansion of phi^4 theory, which is a difficult task in kinetic approaches and other diagrammatic methods.

We discuss recent developments in descriptions of processes using power expansion around the lightcone within Soft-Collinear Effective Theory. First, we present an overview of the systematically improvable framework that enables factorization of high-energy scattering processes beyond leading power in the expansion in ratios of energy scales. As an illustration of the relevant concepts, we describe the recently derived factorization theorem for the off-diagonal channel of the Drell-Yan production process at threshold. This example exposes endpoint divergences appearing in convolution integrals in factorization formulas. Lastly, we discuss the solution to these complications developed in the context of ''gluon thrust'' in $e^+e^-$ collisions.

The dimuon and dielectron data from the Tevatron $\bar pp$ collider are used to probe for heavy quarks, which decay dominantly via flavour changing neutral current. Depending on whether the $FCNC$ decay occurs at the tree or loop level, one gets a lower mass limit of 85 or 75 GeV. The former applies to singlet, vector doublet and mirror type quarks while the latter applies to a lefthanded quark doublet of the fourth generation.

We present a fully automated implementation of next-to-leading order electroweak (NLO EW) corrections in the OpenLoops matrix-element generator combined with the Sherpa and Munich Monte Carlo frameworks. The process-independent character of the implemented algorithms opens the door to NLO QCD+EW simulations for a vast range of Standard Model processes, up to high particle multiplicity, at current and future colliders. As a first application, we present NLO QCD+EW predictions for the production of positively charged on-shell W bosons in association with up to three jets at the Large Hadron Collider. At the TeV energy scale, due to the presence of large Sudakov logarithms, EW corrections reach the 20-40% level and play an important role for searches of physics beyond the Standard Model. The dependence of NLO EW effects on the jet multiplicity is investigated in detail, and we find that W+multijet final states feature genuinely different EW effects as compared to the case of W+1jet.

This is accomplished (without problems with vector-like exotics) by simultaneously describing the F-theory model and its Heterotic dual. The model has a twin MSSM sector and it's the neutrino sector of the field I consider in the talk.

Our amplitudes are obtained from the complete one-loop meson-meson scattering amplitudes from Chiral Perturbation Theory. Once unitarized with the Inverse Amplitude Method, they describe remarkably well the data simultaneously in the low energy and resonance regions up to 1.2 GeV, using low energy parameters compatible with present determinations.

We analyze possible interpretations of the recent LHCb evidence for CP violation in D meson decays in terms of physics beyond the Standard Model. On general grounds, models in which the primary source of flavor violation is linked to the breaking of chiral symmetry (left-right flavor mixing) are natural candidates to explain this effect, via enhanced chromomagnetic operators. In the case of supersymmetric models, we identify two motivated scenarios: disoriented A-terms and split families. These structures predict other non-standard signals, such as nuclear EDMs close to their present bounds and, possibly, tiny but visible deviations in K and B physics, or even sizable flavor-violating processes involving the top quark or the stops. Some of these connections, especially the one with nuclear EDMs, hold beyond supersymmetry, as illustrated with the help of prototype non-supersymmetric models.

We deduce its interactions with the electroweak gauge bosons. Each such new interaction can be written as a product of two factors. The first one depends, on the electroweak gauge bosons and their derivatives. The second one solely depends, on the physical Higgs and its derivatives. We also study the conserved quantities of different (free) fields in this setting.

Rare kaon processes appear to be particularly suitable to study the extensions of the standard model, especially if the possibility for eventual direct evidence becomes unlikely. In this review, we discuss processes that are important as a test of either the standard model or supergravity. Moreover, some of these are important even for both the standard model and for supergravity. Particular attention is paid to the reduction of uncertainties in the calculation, especially the ones coming from the confinement effects. Recent approaches, such as chiral perturbation theory, the large $N_c$-expansion, QCD sum rules and lattice QCD, are discussed. This is found to be the best strategy in view of the fact that supersymmetric effects are rather tiny.

The first part of the analysis consists of independent fits to the different $\pi\pi$ channels. The GKPY equations provide a more stringent consistency check for the parametrizations of the S0-wave data in the region from 400 to 1100 MeV, In the second part we present our preliminary analysis where the fits are constrained to satisfy all dispersion relations within errors, including the new GKPY Eqs., thus providing a very precise and model independent description of data using just analyticity, causality and crossing.

We examine the relevance of the heavy quarks masses in the perturbative QCD description of hard interactions where charged kaons are produced in the final state. We extract a set of parton-to-kaon hadronization probabilities from a next to leading order QCD global analysis where a general mass variable flavor number scheme accounting for mass effects is implemented. We compare the results with those obtained in the massless approximation and also with those found in the case of final state pions. At variance with the very significant improvement found for the much more precise pion fragmentation phenomenology, the heavy quark mass dependent scheme improves mildly the overall description of current kaon production data. Nevertheless, the changes in the charm hadronization probability are noticeable.

Exclusive two-pion production near threshold in the collision of a highly virtual photon with a real one offers a new possibility to unravel the partonic content of hadrons. We explain the dynamics of this regime, i.e. the separation of the amplitude in terms of partonic diagrams computable in QCD perturbation theory and generalized distribution amplitudes, which are nonperturbative functions describing the exclusive transition of a parton pair into two hadrons. The same quantities also appear in gamma* N -> pi pi N in the kinematical regime where the momentum transfer of the nucleon and the invariant mass of the pion pair are both small; this allows to extend the QCD analysis of exclusive rho electroproduction outside the resonance region of the two produced pions.

We investigate the possibility of clarifying internal structure of exotic hadrons by high-energy exclusive reactions. In particular, the constituent-counting rule could be used for determining the internal configuration in large-angle exclusive scattering. As an example, we show the cross section pi^- + p -> K^0 + Lambda(1405) in comparison with the one for the ground-state Lambda production pi^- + p -> K^0 + Lambda. The counting rule indicates that the cross section scales as s^8 dsigma /dt=constant if Lambda(1405) is an ordinary three-quark baryon, whereas it is s^{10} dsigma /dt=constant if Lambda(1405) is a five-quark baryon. Here, s and t are Mandelstam variables. Such experiments could be possible at J-PARC, LEP, JLab, CERN-COMPASS, and other high-energy facilities.

In this paper, we study the OZI-allowed two-body strong decays of $3^-$ heavy-light mesons. Experimentally the charmed $D_{3}^{\ast}(2760)$ and the charm-strange $D_{s3}^{\ast}(2860)$ states with these quantum numbers have been discovered. For the bottomed $B(5970)$ state, which was found by the CDF Collaboration recently, its quantum number has not been decided yet and we assume its a $3^-$ meson in this paper. The theoretical prediction for the strong decays of bottom-strange state $B_{s3}^\ast$ is also given. The relativistic wave functions of $3^-$ heavy mesons are constructed and their numerical values are obtained by solving the corresponding Bethe-Salpeter equation with instantaneous approximation. The transition matrix is calculated by using the PCAC and low energy theorem, following which, the decay widths are obtained. For $D_{3}^\ast(2760)$ and $D_{s3}^\ast(2860)$, the total strong decay widths are 72.6 MeV and 47.6 MeV, respectively. For $B_3^\ast$ with $M=5978$ MeV and $B_{s3}^\ast$ with $M=6178$ MeV, their strong decay widths are 22.9 MeV and 40.8 MeV, respectively.

In the framework of light-cone expansion amplitudes and widths of all processes are described with one universal relation. It is interesting to note that from this relation it follows automatically which component of $Z$ boson (either vector or axial) gives contribution to the width of the particular decay. It is shown that the effect of internal quark motion almost doubles theoretical predictions for production of $S$-wave charmonia and $\chi_{c1}$ meson.

We investigate a spectrum of a fermion, which we call a quark, above the critical temperature of the chiral phase transition in a gauge theory using the Schwinger-Dyson (SD) equation. The SD equation enables us to study the spectrum over a wide range of the gauge coupling. It is shown that the quark spectrum has two sharp peaks which correspond to the normal quasi-quark and the plasmino and is consistent with that obtained in the hard thermal loop approximation in the weak coupling region, while it has also two peaks but with smaller thermal masses and broader widths in the strong coupling region. Temperature-dependence of the quark spectrum is also discussed.

Banks has proposed a relation between the scale of supersymmetry breaking and the cosmological constant in de Sitter space. His proposal has a natural extension to a general FRW cosmology, in which the supersymmetry breaking scale is related to the Hubble parameter. We study one consequence of such a relation, namely that coupling constants change as the universe evolves. We find that the most straightforward extension of Banks' proposal is disfavored by experimental bounds on variation of the fine structure constant.

It is pointed out that the previous energy-momentum tensors of Minkowski and Abraham for the electromagnetic field in continuous media are based on a covariant formulation which does not reflect a symmetry inherent to the system. Instead, taking into account the intrinsic invariance under Lorentz transformations involving the reduced speed of light in such a medium, a compact and fully consistent theory can be formulated without the old problems.

We perform a global Bayesian analysis of currently available neutrino data, putting data from oscillation experiments, neutrinoless double beta decay ($0\nu\beta\beta$), and precision cosmology on an equal footing. We evaluate the discovery potential of future $0\nu\beta\beta$ experiments and the Bayes factor of the two possible neutrino mass ordering schemes for different prior choices. We show that the indication for normal ordering is still very mild and does not strongly depend on realistic prior assumptions or different combinations of cosmological data sets. We find a wide range for $0\nu\beta\beta$ discovery potential, depending on the absolute neutrino mass scale, mass ordering and achievable background level.

We explain the $W$-boson mass anomaly by introducing an $SU(2)_L$ scalar multiplet with general isospin and hypercharge in the case without its vacuum expectation value. It is shown that the dominant contribution from the scalar multiplet to the $W$-boson mass arises at one-loop level, which can be expressed in terms of the electroweak (EW) oblique parameters $T$ and $S$ at leading order. We firstly rederive the general formulae of $T$ and $S$ induced by a scalar multiplet of EW charges, confirming the results in the literature. We then study several specific examples of great phenomenological interest by applying these general expressions. As a result, it is found that the model with a scalar multiplet in an $SU(2)_L$ real representation with $Y=0$ cannot generate the required $M_W$ correction since it leads to vanishing values of $T$ and $S$. On the other hand, the cases with scalars in a complex representation under $SU(2)_L$ with a general hypercharge can explain the $M_W$ excess observed by CDF-\uppercase\expandafter{\romannumeral2} due to nonzero $T$ and $S$. We further take into account of the strong constraints from the perturbativity and the EW global fit of the precision data, and vary the isospin representation and hypercharge of the additional scalar multiplet, in order to assess the extent of the model to solve the $W$-boson mass anomaly. It turns out that these constraints play important roles in setting limits on the model parameter space. We also briefly describe the collider signatures of the extra scalar multiplet, especially when it contains long-lived heavy highly charged states.

Using a coupled channel unitary approach, combining the heavy quark spin symmetry and the dynamics of the local hidden gauge, we investigate the meson-baryon interaction with hidden beauty and obtain several new states of $N^*$ around 11 GeV. We consider the basis of states $\eta_b N$, $\Upsilon N$, $B \Lambda_b$, $B \Sigma_b$, $B^* \Lambda_b$, $B^* \Sigma_b$, $B^* \Sigma_b^*$ and find four basic bound states which correspond to $B \Sigma_b$, $B \Sigma_b^*$, $B^* \Sigma_b$ and $B^* \Sigma_b^*$, decaying mostly into $\eta_b N$ and $\Upsilon N$ and with a binding energy about 50-130 MeV with respect to the thresholds of the corresponding channel. All of them have isospin $I=1/2$, and there are no bound states or resonances in $I=3/2$. The $B \Sigma_b$ state appears in $J=1/2$, the $B \Sigma_b^*$ in $J=3/2$, the $B^* \Sigma_b$ appears nearly degenerate in $J=1/2, ~3/2$ and the $B^* \Sigma_b^*$ appears nearly degenerate in $J=1/2, ~3/2, ~5/2$.

We reconsider complex scalar singlet dark matter stabilised by a $\mathbb{Z}_{3}$ symmetry. We refine the stability bounds on the potential and use constraints from unitarity on scattering at finite energy to place a stronger lower limit on the direct detection cross section. In addition, we improve the treatment of the thermal freeze-out by including the evolution of the dark matter temperature and its feedback onto relic abundance. In the regions where the freeze-out is dominated by resonant or semi-annihilation, the dark matter decouples kinetically from the plasma very early, around the onset of the chemical decoupling. This results in a modification of the required coupling to the Higgs, which turns out to be at most few per cent in the semi-annihilation region, thus giving credence to the standard approach to the relic density calculation in this regime. In contrast, for dark matter mass just below the Higgs resonance, the modification of the Higgs invisible width and direct and indirect detection signals can be up to a factor $6.7$. The model is then currently allowed at $56.8$ GeV to $58.4$ GeV (depending on the details of early kinetic decoupling) $\lesssim M_{S} \lesssim 62.8$ GeV and at $M_{S} \gtrsim 122$ GeV if the freeze-out is dominated by semi-annihilation. We show that the whole large semi-annihilation region will be probed by the near-future measurements at the XENONnT experiment.

We investigate the question whether Lipatov's high energy effective action is capable to reproduce quark and gluon propagators which resum interaction with a strong background field within high energy factorization. Such propagators are frequently employed in calculations within the Color Glass Condensate formalism, in particular when considering scattering of a dilute projectile on a dense target nucleus or nucleon. We find that such propagators can be obtained from the high energy effective action, if a special parametrization of the gluonic field is used, first proposed by Lipatov in the original publication on the high energy effective action. The obtained propagators are used to rederive from the high energy effective action the leading order Balitsky-JIMWLK evolution equation in covariant gauge. As an aside, our result confirms the definition of the reggeized gluon as the logarithm of an adjoint Wilson lines, proposed in the literature.

As an aside, our result confirms the definition of the reggeized gluon as the logarithm of an adjoint Wilson lines, proposed in the literature.

The stability of the Standard Model is determined by the true minimum of the effective Higgs potential. We show that the potential at its minimum when computed by the traditional method is strongly dependent on the gauge parameter. It moreover depends on the scale where the potential is calculated. We provide a consistent method for determining absolute stability independent of both gauge and calculation scale, order by order in perturbation theory. This leads to a revised stability bounds mH > (129.4 \pm 2.3) GeV and mt < (171.2 \pm 0.3)GeV. We also show how to evaluate the effect of new physics on the stability bound without resorting to unphysical field values.

In a companion paper, we show that operator bases for general effective field theories are controlled by the conformal algebra. Equations of motion and integration by parts identities can be systematically treated by organizing operators into irreducible representations of the conformal group. In the present work, we use this result to study the standard model effective field theory (SM EFT), determining the content and number of higher dimension operators up to dimension 12, for an arbitrary number of fermion generations. We find additional operators to those that have appeared in the literature at dimension 7 (specifically in the case of more than one fermion generation) and at dimension 8. (The title sequence is the total number of independent operators in the SM EFT with one fermion generation, including hermitian conjugates, ordered in mass dimension, starting at dimension 5.)

Using an iterative solution of rapidity evolution equations, we compute partonic $2\to 2$ gauge theory amplitudes at four loops in full colour up to the Next-to-Next-to-Leading Logarithms (NNLL) in the Regge limit. By contrasting the resulting amplitude with the exponentiation properties of soft singularities we determine the four-loop correction to the soft anomalous dimension at this logarithmic accuracy, which universally holds in any gauge theory. We find that the latter features quartic Casimir contributions beyond those appearing in the cusp anomalous dimension. Finally, in the case of ${\cal N}=4$ super Yang-Mills, we also determine the finite hard function at four loops through NNLL in full colour.
