We study massless $g^2\Phi^4$-theory at high temperature and with zero chemical potential. Using modern effective field theory methods,% recently developed by Braaten and Nieto, we derive the screening mass squared to order $g^5$. It is demonstrated that the result is renormalization group invariant to this order in the coupling constant. Renormalization group methods are used to sum up leading logarithms of $g$.

We calculate the O($\eps$)--term of the two--loop massive operator matrix elements for twist 2--operators, which contribute to the heavy flavour Wilson coefficients in unpolarized deep--inelastic scattering in the asymptotic limit $Q^2 \gg m^2.$ Our calculation was performed in Mellin space using Mellin--Barnes integrals and generalized hypergeometric functions. The O($\eps$)--term contributes in the renormalization at 3--loop order.

The improved quark mass density-dependent model (IQMDD) based on soliton bag model is studied at finite temperature. Appling the finite temperature field theory, the effective potential of the IQMDD model and the bag constant $B(T)$ have been calculated at different temperatures. It is shown that there is a critical temperature $T_{C}\simeq 110 \mathrm{MeV}$. We also calculate the soliton solutions of the IQMDD model at finite tmperature. It turns out that when $T<T_{C}$, there is a bag constant $B(T)$ and the soliton solutions are stable. However, when $T>T_{C}$ the bag constant $B(T)=0$ and there is no soliton solution, therefore, the confinement of quarks are removed quickly.

Motivated by the first measurement on $\mathcal{B}(B_s\to\phi \mu^+\mu^-)$ by the CDF Collaboration, we study the supersymmetric effects in semi-leptonic $B_s\to\phi\mu^+\mu^-$ decay. In our evaluations, we analyze the dependences of the dimuon invariant mass spectrum and the forward-backward asymmetry on relevant supersymmetric couplings in the MSSM with and without R-parity. The analyses show the new experimental upper limits of $\mathcal{B}(B_s\to\mu^+\mu^-)$ from the LHCb Collaboration could further improve the bounds on sneutrino exchange couplings and $(\delta^u_{LL})_{23}$ as well as $(\delta^d_{LL,RR})_{23}$ mass insertion couplings. In addition, within the allowed ranges of relevant couplings under the constraints from $\mathcal{B}(B_s\to\phi \mu^+\mu^-)$, $\mathcal{B}(B\to K^{(*)}\mu^+\mu^-)$ and $\mathcal{B}(B_s\to \mu^+\mu^-)$, the dimuon forward-backward asymmetry and the differential dimuon forward-backward asymmetry of $B_s\to\phi\mu^+\mu^-$ are highly sensitive to the squark exchange contribution and the $(\delta^u_{LL})_{23}$ mass insertion contribution. The results obtained in this work will be very useful in searching supersymmetric signal at the LHC.

We calculate the ratio of proton and neutron yields in NC induced neutrino(antineutrino)-nucleus inelastic scattering at neutrino energies of about 1 GeV. We show that this ratio depends very weakly on the nuclear models employed and that in the neutrino and antineutrino cases the ratios have different sensitivity to the axial and vector strange form factors; moreover, the ratio of antineutrino--nucleus cross sections turns out to be rather sensitive to the electric strange form factor. We demonstrate that measurements of these ratios will allow to get information on the strange form factors of the nucleon in the region Q > 0.4 GeV^2.

We present a model-independent analysis of rare B decays, $B \to K^{(*)} \nu \nu$. The effect of possible new physics is written in terms of dimension-6 four-fermi interactions. The lepton number violating scalar- and tensor-type interactions are included, and they induce $B \to K^{(*)} \nu \nu ({\bar \nu} {\bar \nu})$ decays. We show systematically how the branching ratios and missing mass-squared spectrum depend on the coefficients of the four-fermi interactions.

This is a review of particle-theory models of inflation, and of their predictions for the primordial density perturbation that is thought to be the origin of structure in the Universe. It contains mini-reviews of the relevant observational cosmology, of elementary field theory and of supersymmetry, that may be of interest in their own right. The spectral index $n(k)$, specifying the scale-dependence of the spectrum of the curvature perturbation, will be a powerful discriminator between models, when it is measured by Planck with accuracy $\Delta n\sim 0.01$. The usual formula for $n$ is derived, as well as its less familiar extension to the case of a multi-component inflaton; in both cases the key ingredient is the separate evolution of causally disconnected regions of the Universe. Primordial gravitational waves will be an even more powerful discriminator if they are observed, since most models of inflation predict that they are completely negligible. We treat in detail the new wave of models, which are firmly rooted in modern particle theory and have supersymmetry as a crucial ingredient. The review is addressed to both astrophysicists and particle physicists, and each section is fairly homogeneous regarding the assumed background knowledge.

We analyze the lepton flavor violating process $\mu-e$ conversion in the framework of the minimal R-symmetric supersymmetric standard model. The theoretical predictions are determined by considering the experimental constraint on parameter $\delta^{12}$ from the lepton flavor violating decay $\mu\rightarrow e \gamma$. The numerical results show that $\gamma$ penguins and Z penguins dominate the predictions on CR($\mu-e$,Nucleus), and the contributions from Higgs penguins and box diagrams are insignificant. The theoretical predictions on conversion rate CR($\mu-e$,Nucleus) in a Al or Ti target can be enhanced close to the future experimental sensitivities and are very promising to be observed in near future experiment.

It is shown that the temperature derivatives of the anomalous and normal (quark massive term) contributions to the trace of the energy-momentum tensor in QCD are equal to each other in the low temperature region. Leading corrections connected with $\pi\pi$-interactions and thermal excitations of $K$ and $\eta$ mesons are calculated.

Recent years have seen extensive applications of the Nambu--Jona-Lasinio (NJL) model in the study of matter at high density. There is a good deal of interest in the predictions of diquark condensation and color superconductivity, with suggested applications to the study the properties of neutron stars. As the researchers in this field note, the NJL model does not describe confinement, so that one is limited to the study of the deconfined phase, which may set in at several times nuclear matter density. Recently, we have extended the NJL model to include a covariant confinement model. In the present work our goal is to include a phenomenological model of deconfinement at finite matter density, using some analogy to what is known concerning "string breaking" and deconfinement at finite temperature. Various models may be used, but for this work we choose a specific model for the density dependence of the parameters of our confining interaction. We perform relativistic random-phase-approximation (RPA) calculations of the properties of the $\pi(138), K(495), f_0(980), a_0(980)$ and $K_0^*(1430)$ mesons and their radial excitations. In the model chosen for this work, there are no mesonic states beyond about $2\rho_{NM}$, where $\rho_{NM}$ is the density of nuclear matter. This inability of the model to support hadronic excitations at large values of the density is taken as a signal of deconfinement. In addition to the density dependence of the confining interaction, we use the density-dependent quark mass values obtained in either the SU(2) or SU(3)-flavor versions of the NJL model.

We calculate the rare fluctuations of the $S$-matrix on top of the full next-to-leading order corrections in the center of mass frame. The relevant result in the saturation regime shows that the exponential factor of the $S$-matrix is $\sqrt{2}$ as large as the result which emerges when the rare fluctuation effects are taken into account. We find that the factor of $\sqrt{2}$ change of the exponential factor is induced by the gluon loop corrections which compensate part of rapidity decrease of the $S$-matrix made by quark loops and lead to the rare fluctuations becoming important again. To ensure the relevant results of the $S$-matrix are independent of the frame choice, the rare fluctuations of the $S$-matrix are also derived in a general frame. It is found that all the results are consistent with each other in both frames.

We calculate the rare fluctuations of the $S$-matrix on top of the full next-to-leading order corrections in the center of mass frame. The relevant result in the saturation regime shows that the exponential factor of the $S$-matrix is $\sqrt{2}$ as large as the result which emerges when the rare fluctuation effects are taken into account. We find that the factor of $\sqrt{2}$ change of the exponential factor is induced by the gluon loop corrections which compensate part of rapidity decrease of the $S$-matrix made by quark loops and lead to the rare fluctuations becoming important again. To ensure the relevant results of the $S$-matrix are independent of the frame choice, the rare fluctuations of the $S$-matrix are also derived in a general frame. It is found that all the results are consistent with each other in both frames.

In the last decade, the LEP and SLD experiments played a central role in the study of B hadrons (hadrons containing a b quark). New B hadrons have been observed ($B^0_s$, \Lambda_b$, $\Xi_b$ and $B^{**}$) and their production and decay properties have been measured. In this paper we will focus on measurements of the CKM matrix elements: $|V_{cb}|$, $|V_{ub}|$, $|V_{td}|$ and $|V_{ts}|$. We will show how all these measurements, together with theoretical developments, have significantly improved our knowledge on the flavour sector of the Standard Model.

We investigate to what extent DA$\Phi$NE will be able to test the Standard Model in the confinement regime with radiative kaon decays. We concentrate on processes which can be detected at DA$\Phi$NE and we review briefly those decays where only upper limits can be expected. The Standard Model predictions for these decays are analyzed in the framework of chiral perturbation theory.

We investigate the possibility of using the Short-Baseline Near Detector (SBND) at Fermilab to constrain lepton flavor violating decays of pions and kaons. We study how to leverage SBND-PRISM, the use of the neutrino beam angular spread to mitigate systematic uncertainties, to enhance this analysis. We show that SBND-PRISM can put stringent limits on the flavor violating branching ratios $\rm{BR}(\pi^+ \to \mu^+ \nu_e) = 8.9 \times 10^{-4}$, $\rm{BR}(K^+ \to \mu^+ \nu_e) = 3.2 \times 10^{-3}$, improving previous constraints by factors 9 and 1.25, respectively. We also estimate the SBND-PRISM sensitivity to lepton number violating decays, $\rm{BR}(\pi^+ \to \mu^+ \overline{\nu}_e)= 2.1 \times 10^{-3}$ and $\rm{BR}(K^+ \to \mu^+ \overline{\nu}_e) = 7.4 \times 10^{-3}$, though not reaching previous BEBC limits. Last, we identify several ways how the SBND collaboration could improve this analysis.

We focus on the influence of a flavor-mixing interaction induced by instantons. We find that already for rather moderate values of the coupling strength in the flavor-mixing channel the recent findings of two seperate phase transitions do not persist.

The estimation of rare K decay matrix-elements from Kl3 experimental data is extended beyond LO in Chiral Perturbation Theory. Isospin-breaking effects at NLO (and partially NNLO) in the ChPT expansion, as well as QED radiative corrections are now accounted for. The analysis relies mainly on the cleanness of two specific ratios of form-factors, for which the theoretical control is excellent. As a result, the uncertainties on the K+ --> pi+ nu nubar and KL --> pi0 nu nubar matrix-elements are reduced by a factor of about 7 and 4, respectively, and similarly for the direct CP-violating contribution to KL --> pi0 l+ l-. They could be reduced even further with better experimental data for the Kl3 slopes and the K+l3 branching ratios. As a result, the non-parametric errors for B(K --> pi nu nubar) and for the direct CP-violating contributions to B(KL --> pi0 l+ l-) are now completely dominated by those on the short-distance physics.

We discuss matrix elements of the strangeness changing vector current using their relation, due to analyticity, with $\pi K$ scattering in the $P$-wave. We take into account experimental phase-shift measurements in the elastic channel as well as results, obtained by the LASS collaboration, on the details of inelastic scattering, which show the dominance of two quasi two-body channels at medium energies.The associated form factors are shown to be completely determined, up to one flavour symmetry breaking parameter, imposing boundary conditions at $t=0$ from chiral and flavour symmetries and at $t\to\infty$ from QCD. We apply the results to the $\tau\to K\pi \nu_\tau$ and $\tau\to K\pi\pi \nu_\tau$ amplitudes and compare the former to recent high statistics results from B factories.

We investigate the ability of the upcoming Hyper-Kamiokande (Hyper-K) neutrino experiment to detect new physics phenomena beyond the standard, three-massive-neutrinos paradigm; namely the existence of a fourth, sterile neutrino or weaker-than-weak, non-standard neutrino interactions. With both beam-based neutrinos from the Japan Proton Accelerator Research Complex (J-PARC) and atmospheric neutrinos, Hyper-K is capable of exploring new ranges of parameter space in these new-physics scenarios. We find that Hyper-K has comparable capability to the upcoming Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE), and that combining both beam- and atmospheric-based data can clear up degeneracies in the parameter spaces of interest. We also comment on the potential improvement in searches for new physics if a combined analysis were performed using Hyper-K and DUNE data.

An unexpected explanation for neutrino mass, Dark Matter (DM) and Dark Energy (DE) from genuine Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) of the Standard Model (SM) is proposed here, while the strong CP problem is resolved without any need to account for fundamental axions. We suggest that the neutrino sector can be in a double phase in the Universe: i) relativistic neutrinos, belonging to the SM; ii) non-relativistic condensate of Majorana neutrinos. The condensate of neutrinos can provide an attractive alternative candidate for the DM, being in a cold coherent state. We will explain how neutrinos, combining into Cooper pairs, can form collective low-energy degrees of freedom, hence providing a strongly motivated candidate for the QCD (composite) axion.

Motivated by recent observations of non-zero $\theta_{13}$ from the Daya Bay and RENO experiments, we propose a renormalizable neutrino model with $A_4$ discrete symmetry accounting for deviations from the tri-bimaximal mixing pattern of neutrino mixing matrix indicated by neutrino oscillation data. In the model, the light neutrino masses can be generated by radiative corrections, and we show how the light neutrino mass matrix can be diagonalized by the Pontecorvo-Maki-Nakagawa-Sakata mixing matrix whose entries are determined by the current neutrino data including the Daya Bay result. We show that the origin of the deviations from the TBM mixing is non-degeneracy of the neutrino Yukawa coupling constants, and unremovable CP phases in the neutrino Yukawa matrix give rise to both low energy CP violation measurable from neutrino oscillation and high energy CP violation.

Thus high-quality measurements of these differential observables are highly desired. The corresponding rates are predicted to be of the same order of magnitude as those for $\bar{B}^0_d \to J/\psi\pi^+\pi^-$ measured recently at LHCb, letting the corresponding measurement appear feasible.

Several observables for the deeply virtual Compton scattering process have been simulated in the kinematic regime of a proposed Electron-Ion Collider to explore the possible impact of such measurements for the phenomenological access of generalized parton distributions. In particular, emphasis is given to the transverse distribution of sea quarks and gluons and how such measurements can provide information on the angular momentum sum rule. The exact lepton energy loss dependence for the unpolarized $t$-differential electroproduction cross section, needed for a Rosenbluth separation, is also reported.

The ratio Phi->K+K-/K0K0bar is discussed and its present experimental value is compared with theoretical expectations. A difference larger than two standard deviations is observed. We critically examine a number of mechanisms that could account for this discrepancy, which remains unexplained. Measurements at DAPHNE at the level of the per mille accuracy can clarify whether there exist any anomaly.

We have recently derived a factorization formula for the Higgs-boson production cross section in the presence of a jet veto, which allows for a systematic resummation of large Sudakov logarithms of the form alpha_s^n ln^m(p_T^veto/m_H), along with the large virtual corrections known to affect also the total cross section. Here we determine the ingredients entering this formula at two-loop accuracy. Specifically, we compute the dependence on the jet-radius parameter R, which is encoded in the two-loop coefficient of the collinear anomaly, by means of a direct, fully analytic calculation in the framework of soft-collinear effective theory. We confirm the result obtained by Banfi et al. from a related calculation in QCD, and demonstrate that factorization-breaking, soft-collinear mixing effects do not arise at leading power in p_T^veto/m_H, even for R=O(1). In addition, we extract the two-loop collinear beam functions numerically. We present detailed numerical predictions for the jet-veto cross section with partial next-to-next-to-next-to-leading logarithmic accuracy, matched to the next-to-next-to-leading order cross section in fixed-order perturbation theory. The only missing ingredients at this level of accuracy are the three-loop anomaly coefficient and the four-loop cusp anomalous dimension, whose numerical effects we estimate to be small.

The influence of the dark matter mass~($M_{\chi}$) and the Fermi momentum~($k_{F}^{\dm}$) on the $f_0$-mode oscillation frequency, damping time parameter, and tidal deformability of hadronic stars are studied by employing a numerical integration of hydrostatic equilibrium, nonradial oscillation, and tidal deformability equations. The matter inside the hadronic stars follows the NL3* equation of state. We obtain that the influence of $M_{\chi}$ and $k_F^{\dm}$ is observed in the $f_0$-mode, damping tome parameter, and tidal deformability. Finally, the correlation between the tidal deformability of the GW$170817$ event with $M_{\chi}$ and $k_F^{\dm}$ are also investigated.

We show that a low energy beta-beam facility can be used to search for sterile neutrinos by measuring the disappearance of electron anti-neutrinos. This channel is particularly sensitive since it allows to use inverse beta decay as detection reaction; thus it is free from hadronic uncertainties, provided the neutrino energy is below the pion production threshold. This corresponds to a choice of the Lorentz gamma=30 for the 6He parent ion. Moreover, a disappearance measurement allows the constraint of sterile neutrino properties independently of any CP violating effects. A moderate detector size of a few 100 tons and ion production rates of 2E13 per second are sufficient to constrain mixing angles as small as \sin^22\theta=0.01 at 99% confidence level.

An epoch of Higgs relaxation may occur in the early universe during or immediately following postinflationary reheating. It has recently been pointed out that leptogenesis may occur in minimal extensions of the Standard Model during this epoch. We analyse Higgs relaxation taking into account the effects of perturbative and non-perturbative decays of the Higgs condensate, and we present a detailed derivation of the relevant kinetic equations and of the relevant particle interaction cross sections. We identify the parameter space in which a sufficiently large asymmetry is generated.

An impact of nonperturbatively-treated soft gluon modes on the value of anomalous magnetic moment of muon $a_\mu$ is studied within the mean-field approach to QCD vacuum and hadronization. It is shown that radial excitations of vector mesons strongly enhance contribution of hadronic vacuum polarization to $a_\mu$, doubling the contribution of one intermediate meson processes compared to result for ground state mesons. The mean field also strongly influences the hadronic light-by-light scattering contribution due to the Wilson line in quark propagators.

I address the effect that a temperature dependent potential has on the suppression of heavy quarkonia states in deconfined hadronic matter. I focus on a simple medium: a homogenous, fixed temperature and deconfined system with a finite lifetime (QGP-brick). Assuming that all the interactions of a heavy quark anti-quark ($Q-\bar Q$) pair with the medium can be recast into an in-medium potential, I solve the time dependent Schr\"odinger equation to evolve the density matrix which describes the hard pair production and its connection to the final distribution of hadrons after the medium disappears. For those temperatures in which bound states survive in the medium, I find a non-trivial dependence of the production of excited quarkonia states on the in-medium levels, due to the mixing of vacuum and in-medium wave functions. This mixing leads, in particular, to the enhancement of the relative abundance of 2S to 1S states for those systems in which the in-medium ground state of the $Q-\bar Q$ system is dissolved or close to threshold. I also explore quarkonia production in a non-homogeneous expanding medium and find that the finite formation time effects arising from the low binding energies of in-medium states lead to the insensitivity of the heavy mesons yield to the hottest part of the system evolution.

We perform a systematic analysis of soft supersymmetry breaking terms at the one loop level in a large class of string effective field theories. This includes the so-called anomaly mediated contributions. We illustrate our results for several classes of orbifold models. In particular, we discuss a class of models where soft supersymmetry breaking terms are determined by quasi model independent anomaly mediated contributions, with possibly non-vanishing scalar masses at the one loop level. We show that the latter contribution depends on the detailed prescription of the regularization process which is assumed to represent the Planck scale physics of the underlying fundamental theory. The usual anomaly mediation case with vanishing scalar masses at one loop is not found to be generic. However gaugino masses and A-terms always vanish at tree level if supersymmetry breaking is moduli dominated with the moduli stabilized at self-dual points, whereas the vanishing of the B-term depends on the origin of the mu-term in the underlying theory. We also discuss the supersymmetric spectrum of O-I and O-II models, as well as a model of gaugino condensation. For reference, explicit spectra corresponding to a Higgs mass of 114 GeV are given. Finally, we address general strategies for distinguishing among these models.

The chargino and neutralino parameters are renormalized in the on-shell scheme and it is shown that the correction due to the chargino/neutralino mass matrix renormalization is comparable to the conventional vertex correction. The full corrections are typically of the order of 10%.

In these models, one have two types of natural force mediators, dark gauge bosons and dark Higgs boson, which would affect DM and Higgs phenomenology in important ways.

This article presents the results of a quantitative study of the small-x data at HERA, using the CCFM equation. The first step consists of choosing the version of the CCFM equation to be used, corresponding to selecting a particular subset of next-to-leading-logarithmic corrections --- the choice is constrained by requiring a phenomenologically reasonable small-x growth. For the time being, the parts of the splitting functions that are finite at z=0 have been left out. We then examine results for F_2^c, R, the transverse energy flow, the charged-particle transverse-momentum spectrum and the forward-jet cross section and compare to data. While some of the data is reproduced better than with DGLAP-based calculations, the agreement is not entirely satisfactory, suggesting that the approach developed here is not yet suitable for detailed phenomenology. We discuss why, and suggest directions for future work.

Light scalar fields that couple to matter through the Higgs portal mediate long range fifth forces.

After taking account of the scale dependence by means of the standard DGLAP evolution equation, the theoretical predictions of the chiral quark soliton model for the unpolarized and longitudinally polarized structure functions of the nucleon are compared with the recent high energy data. The theory is shown to explain all the qualitative features of the experiments, including the NMC data for $F_2^p (x) - F_2^n (x)$, $F_2^n (x) / F_2^p (x)$, the Hermes and NuSea data for $\bar{d}(x) - \bar{u}(x)$, the EMC and SMC data for $g_1^p(x)$, $g_1^n(x)$ and $g_1^d(x)$. Among others, flavor asymmetry of the longitudinally polarized sea-quark distributions is a remarkable prediction of this model, i.e., it predicts that $\Delta \bar{d}(x) - \Delta \bar{u}(x) = C x^{\alpha} [ \bar{d}(x) - \bar{u}(x)]$ with a sizable negative coefficient $C \simeq -2.0$ (and $\alpha \simeq 0.12$) in qualitative consistency with the recent semi-phenomenological analysis by Morii and Yamanishi.

The lack of information before Big Bang Neucleosynthesis (BBN) allow us to assume the presence of a new species $\phi$ whose energy density redshifts as $a^{-(4+n)}$ where $n>0$ and $a$ is the scale factor. This non-standard cosmological setup facilitates a larger portal coupling $(\epsilon)$ between the dark and the visible sectors even when the two sectors are not in thermal equilibrium. Here, we have considered $U(1)_{L_\mu-L_\tau}\otimes U(1)_X$ gauge extension of the Standard Model (SM) and studied different phases of the cosmological evolution of a thermally decoupled dark sector such as leak-in, freeze-in, reannihilation, and late-time annihilation in the presence of fast expansion. Due to the tree level kinetic mixing between $U(1)_X$ and $U(1)_{L_\mu-L_\tau}$ gauge bosons, the dark sector couples with the $\mu$ and $\tau$ flavored leptons of the SM. We show that in our scenario it is possible to reconcile the dark matter relic density and muon $(g-2)$ anomaly. In particular, we show that for $2\times 10^{-4} \lesssim \epsilon \lesssim 10^{-3}$, $5.5{\rm MeV} \lesssim m_{Z^\prime} \lesssim 200{\rm MeV}$, $n=4$, and $1{\rm TeV} \lesssim m_\chi \lesssim 10{\rm TeV}$ relic density constraint of dark matter, constraint from muon $(g-2)$ anomaly, and other cosmological, astrophysical constraints are satisfied.

The radiative weak decays of $B$ mesons is then considered, and the problem of hadronic uncertainties is reviewed. Finally, the technique of calculating radiative weak decays for charm mesons is explained.

The features of hot and dense gas of quarks which are considered as the quasi-particles of the model Hamiltonian with four-fermion interaction are studied. Being adapted to the Nambu-Jona-Lasinio model this approach allows us to accommodate a phase transition similar to the nuclear liquid-gas one at the proper scale and to argue an existence of the mixed (inhomogeneous) phase of vacuum and normal baryonic matter as a plausible scenario of chiral symmetry (partial) restoration. Analyzing the transition layer between two phases we estimate the surface tension coefficient and speculate on the possible existence of quark droplet.

The exciting possibility of detecting supernova, solar, and atmospheric neutrinos with coherent neutrino-nucleus scattering detectors is within reach, opening up new avenues to probe New Physics. We explore the possibility of constraining non-standard coherent neutrino-nucleus scattering through astrophysical neutrinos. Sensitivity bounds on the mass and coupling of the new mediator are obtained by inspecting the modifications induced by the new interaction on the recoil rate observable in the upcoming RES-NOVA and DARWIN facilities. Under the assumption of optimal background tagging, the detection of neutrinos from a galactic supernova burst, or one-year exposure to solar and atmospheric neutrinos, will place the most stringent bounds for mediator couplings $g \gtrsim 10^{-5}$ and mediator masses between 1 and 100 MeV. A similar, but slightly improved, potential to COHERENT will be provided for larger mediator masses. In particular, RES-NOVA and DARWIN may potentially provide one order of magnitude tighter constraints than XENON1T on the mediator coupling. Non-standard coherent neutrino-nucleus scattering may also force neutrinos to be trapped in the supernova core; this argument allows to probe the region of the parameter space with $g \gtrsim 10^{-4}$, which is currently excluded by other coherent neutrino-nucleus scattering facilities or other astrophysical and terrestrial constraints.

Grand gauge-Higgs unification of five dimensional $SU(6)$ gauge theory on an orbifold $S^1/Z_2$ is discussed. The Standard model (SM) fermions are introduced on one of the boundaries and some massive bulk fields are also introduced so that they couple to the SM fermions through the mass terms on the boundary. Integrating out the bulk fields generates the SM fermion masses with exponentially small bulk mass dependences. The SM fermion masses except for top quark are shown to be reproduced by mild tuning the bulk masses. One-loop Higgs potential is calculated and it is shown that the electroweak symmetry breaking occurs by introducing additional bulk fields. Higgs boson mass is also computed.

In this work we apply the Dispersive Matrix (DM) method of Refs. [1,2] to the lattice computations of the Form Factors (FFs) entering the semileptonic $B \to D^* \ell \nu_\ell$ decays, recently produced by the FNAL/MILC Collaborations [3] at small, but non-vanishing values of the recoil variable ($w-1$). Thanks to the DM method we obtain the FFs in the whole kinematical range accessible to the decay in a completely model-independent and non-perturbative way, implementing exactly both unitarity and kinematical constraints. Using our theoretical bands of the FFs we extract $\vert V_{cb} \vert$ from the experimental data and compute the theoretical value of $R(D^*)$. Our final result for $\vert V_{cb} \vert$ reads $\vert V_{cb} \vert = (41.3 \pm 1.7) \cdot 10^{-3}$, compatible with the most recent inclusive estimate at the $0.5\sigma$ level. Moreover, we obtain the pure theoretical value $R(D^*) = 0.275 \pm 0.008$, which is compatible with the experimental world average at the $\sim 1.3 \sigma$ level.

Here, predictions are given for the twist-2 and twist-3 chiral-odd distribution functions of the nucleon within the framework of the chiral quark soliton model, with full inclusion of the vacuum polarization effects as well as the subleading $1/N_c$ corrections. The importance of the vacuum polarization effects is demonstrated by showing that the so-called Soffer inequality holds not only for the quark distributions but also for the antiquark ones.

We consider contributions to the rare decay K+ -> pi+ nu nubar which become nonlocal at the charm scale. Compared to the leading term, such amplitudes are suppressed by two powers of mK/mc and could potentially give corrections at the level of 15%. We compute the leading coefficients of the subleading dimension eight operators in the effective theory below the charm mass. The matrix elements of these operators cannot all be calculated from first principles and some must be modeled. We find that these contributions are likely to be small, but the estimate is sufficiently uncertain that the result may be as large as the existing theoretical uncertainty from other sources.

In this work we perform an analysis of the recent AMS-02 antiproton flux and the antiproton-to-proton ratio in the framework of simplified dark matter models. To predict the AMS-02 observables we adopt the propagation and injection parameters determined by the observed fluxes of nuclei. We assume that the dark matter particle is a Dirac fermionic dark matter, with leptophobic pseudoscalar or axialvector mediator that couples only to Standard Model quarks and dark matter particles. We find that the AMS-02 observations are consistent with the dark matter hypothesis within the uncertainties. The antiproton data prefer a dark matter (mediator) mass in the 700 GeV--5 TeV region for the annihilation with pseudoscalar mediator and greater than 700 GeV (200 GeV--1 TeV) for the annihilation with axialvector mediator, respectively, at about 68% confidence level. The AMS-02 data require an effective dark matter annihilation cross section in the region of 1x10^{-25} -- 1x10^{-24} (1x10^{-25} -- 4x10^{-24}) cm^3/s for the simplified model with pseudoscalar (axialvector) mediator.

In this work we perform an analysis of the recent AMS-02 antiproton flux and the antiproton-to-proton ratio in the framework of simplified dark matter models. To predict the AMS-02 observables we adopt the propagation and injection parameters determined by the observed fluxes of nuclei. We assume that the dark matter particle is a Dirac fermionic dark matter, with leptophobic pseudoscalar or axialvector mediator that couples only to Standard Model quarks and dark matter particles. We find that the AMS-02 observations are consistent with the dark matter hypothesis within the uncertainties. The antiproton data prefer a dark matter (mediator) mass in the 700 GeV--5 TeV region for the annihilation with pseudoscalar mediator and greater than 700 GeV (200 GeV--1 TeV) for the annihilation with axialvector mediator, respectively, at about 68% confidence level. The AMS-02 data require an effective dark matter annihilation cross section in the region of 1x10^{-25} -- 1x10^{-24} (1x10^{-25} -- 4x10^{-24}) cm^3/s for the simplified model with pseudoscalar (axialvector) mediator. The constraints from the LHC and Fermi-LAT are also discussed.

The usual universal extra dimensions scenario does not allow for single production of first level Kaluza-Klein (KK) excitations of matter due to the KK number conservation. However, if the matter fields are localized on a fat brane embedded in a higher dimensional space, matter-gravitation interactions violate KK number, and the production of single KK excitations becomes possible. In this paper we analyze the production of a single KK matter excitation together with a graviton in the final state, and study the potential for discovery at the Tevatron and Large Hadron Collider.

The inclusive same-sign dilepton channel is already recognized as a promising discovery signature for supersymmetry in the early days of the LHC. We point out that it can also be used for precision measurements of sparticle masses after the initial discovery. As an illustration, we consider the LM6 CMS study point in minimal supergravity, where the same-sign leptons most often result from chargino decays to sneutrinos. We discuss three different techniques for determining the chargino and sneutrino masses in an inclusive manner, i.e. using only the two well measured lepton momenta, while treating all other upstream objects in the event as a single entity of total transverse momentum PT. This approach takes full advantage of the large production rates of colored superpartners, but does not rely on the poorly measured hadronic jets, and avoids any jet combinatorics problems. We discuss the anticipated precision of our methods in the early LHC data.

Assuming the solar and atmospheric neutrino deficits to be due to neutrino oscillations, it is shown that the 3X3 mass matrix spanning the e, mu, and tau neutrinos may have already revealed a seesaw mass pattern. Also, this matrix is the natural reduction of a simple 5X5 seesaw mass matrix with one large scale, the 4X4 reduction of which predicts that a fourth neutrino would mix with the e and mu neutrinos in such a way that oscillations between them may occur just within the detection capability of the LSND (Liquid Scintillator Neutrino Detector) experiment.

Heavy fields of Hubble scale order present during inflation contribute to the non-Gaussian signature for the three-point function of the inflaton. Taking into account that Hubble scale is around the scale of grand unified theory (GUT), this opens a possibility that the GUT scale signatures, which are very hard to be discovered at collider, might be detectable by using information from the precise observations of cosmic microwave background. We discuss a detactability of the $X, Y$ gauge boson present in any GUT in a framework of cosmological collider physics. Calculating one-loop contributions of $X, Y$ gauge bosons to the inflaton three-point functions, we find a remarkable result that one-loop diagram with interactions originated from the mass terms of $X, Y$ gauge bosons provides an enhancement factor expressed by the ratio between the $X, Y$ gauge boson mass and Hubble scale as $(m_X/H)^4$. In an estimation of the non-Gaussianity, this factor is crucial and its impact on the detactability of $X, Y$ gauge bosons is discussed.

In this paper, we study the $J/\psi(\Upsilon)$ production in Z boson decay in color-singlet model(CSM). We calculate the next-to-leading-order (NLO) QCD correction to $Z \to Quarkonium+Q\bar{Q}$, the dominant contribution in the CSM, with the vector and axial-vector parts in $ZQ\bar{Q}$ vertex being treated separately. The results show that the vector and axial-vector parts have the same K factor (the ratio of NLO result to leading-order result) 1.13 with the renormalization scale $\mu$=2$m_c$ and $m_c=1.5GeV$, and the K factor falls to 0.918 when applying the Brodsky, Lepage, and Mackenzie(BLM) renormalization scale scheme with obtained $\mu_{BLM}=2.28GeV$ and $m_c=1.5$GeV. By including the contributions from the next-dominant ones, the photon and gluon fragmentation processes, the branching ratio for $Z \to J/\psi_{prompt}+X$ is $(7.3 \sim 10.0)\times 10^{-5}$ with the uncertainty consideration for the renormalization scale and Charm quark mass. The results are about half of the central value of the experimental measurement 2.1$\times10^{-4}$. Furthermore, the $J/\psi$ energy distribution in our calculation is not well consistent with the experimental data. Therefore, even at QCD NLO, the contribution to $Z \to J/\psi_{prompt}+X$ from the CSM can not fully account for the experimental measurement. And there should be contributions from other mechanisms, such as the color-octet(COM) contributions. We define $R_{c\bar{c}}=\frac{\Gamma(Z \to J/\psi c\bar{c}X)}{\Gamma(Z \to J/\psi X)}$ and obtain $R_{cc}=0.84$ for only CSM contribution and $R_{cc}=0.49$ for COM and CSM contributions together. Then $R_{cc}$ measurement could be used to clarify the COM contributions.

We implement a symmetry violation guideline into a two-Higgs-doublet model embedded with three right-handed neutrinos, and exploit the generic Yukawa structures of the model via a hypothetical symmetry restoration of a global $U_Q(1)^3\times U_L(1)^3$ symmetry. We then apply a mass-powered parametrization to construct the phenomenologically motivated Yukawa interactions, which enables us to incorporate correlatively the neutrino mass, dark matter, as well as the lepton-flavor universality violations in $R_{K^{(*)}}$ and $R_{D^{(*)}}$. Specifically, two atmospheric-scale neutrino masses are generated by a low-scale seesaw mechanism, while the much lighter one, being of $\mathcal{O}(10^{-6})~{\rm eV}$, is fixed by a $7.1~{\rm keV}$ sterile neutrino dark matter produced primordially by the freeze-in mechanism. On the other hand, the neutrino and the charged-lepton mass hierarchies encoded in the mass-powered textures can naturally account for the $R_{K^{(*)}}$ and the $R_{D^{(*)}}$ anomalies, respectively. As a further application, a milder discrepancy of the muon $g-2$ is observed, which has also been implied by the recently refined lattice results.

The aim of this short paper is to discuss the recently observed excess at 750 GeV by both CMS and ATLAS in the light of the dual standard model. Within this framework it is natural to introduce neutral spin 0 and/or spin 2 $SU(2)$ glue mesons which could easily account for this observation if it is confirmed. The model predicts that these glue mesons would be part of $SU(2)$ triplets and that there must thus be charged counterparts of these glue mesons carrying a QED charge of $\pm 1$ with a spin 0 and/or 2 as well.

We introduce an improved mass formula for the nucleon and delta resonances and show how it emerges from AdS/QCD in a straightforward extension of the 'metric soft wall' gravity dual. The resulting spectrum depends on just one adjustable parameter, characterizing confinement-induced IR deformations of the anti-de Sitter (AdS) metric, and on the fraction of 'good' (i.e. maximally attractive) diquarks in the baryon's quark model wave function. Despite its simplicity, the predicted spectrum describes the masses of all 48 observed light-quark baryon states and their linear trajectory structure with unprecedented accuracy.

We argue that our recent success in using our resummed quantum gravity approach to Einstein's general theory of relativity, in the context of the Planck scale cosmology formulation of Bonanno and Reuter, to estimate the value of the cosmological constant \Lambda supports the use of quantum mechanical consistency requirements to constrain the main uncertainty in that very promising result. This main uncertainty, which is due to the uncertainty in the value of the time t_{\text{tr}} at which the transition from the Planck scale cosmology to the FRW model occurs, is shown to be reduced, by requiring consistency between the Heisenberg uncertainty principle and the known properties of the solutions of Einstein's equations, from four orders of magnitude to the level of a factor of {\cal O}(10). This lends more credibility to the over-all resummed quantum gravity approach itself, in general, and to our estimate of $\Lambda$ in particular.

We re-evaluate the decays of the Higgs bosons in the minimal supersymmetric standard model (MSSM) where the tree-level CP invariance of the Higgs potential is explicitly broken by the loop effects of the third-generation squarks with CP-violating soft-breaking Yukawa interactions. This study is based on the mass matrix of the neutral Higgs bosons that is valid for arbitrary values of all the relevant MSSM parameters. It extends the previous work considerably by including neutral Higgs-boson decays into virtual gauge bosons and those into top-squark pairs, by implementing squark-loop contributions to the two-gluon decay channel, and by incorporating the decays of the charged Higgs boson. The constraints from the electron electric dipole moment on the CP phases are also discussed. We find that the branching fractions of both the neutral and charged Higgs-boson decays and their total decay widths depend strongly on the CP phases of the top (and bottom) squark sectors through the loop-induced neutral Higgs boson mixing as well as the direct couplings of the neutral Higgs bosons to top squark pairs.

This result could nicely explain the present baryon to entropy ratio : $\rho_{B}/s \sim 10^{-9}$.

The cross section for $e^-e^- \to e^-e^-$ with arbitrary electron polarizations is calculated within the Electroweak Standard Model for energies large compared to the electron mass, including the complete virtual and soft-photonic $O(\alpha)$ radiative corrections. The relevant analytical results are listed, and a numerical evaluation is presented for the unpolarized and polarized cross sections as well as for polarization asymmetries. The relative weak corrections are typically of the order of 10%. At low energies, the bulk of the corrections is due to the running of the electromagnetic coupling constant. For left-handed electrons, at high energies the vertex and box corrections involving virtual W bosons become very important. The polarization asymmetry is considerably reduced by the weak radiative corrections.

We present a detailed theoretical analysis of very rare, exclusive hadronic decays of the electroweak gauge bosons V=W, Z from first principles of QCD. Our main focus is on the radiative decays V->M+gamma, in which M is a pseudoscalar or vector meson. At leading order in an expansion in powers of Lambda_{QCD}/m_V the decay amplitudes can be factorized into convolutions of calculable hard-scattering coefficients with the leading-twist light-cone distribution amplitude of the meson M. Power corrections to the decay rates arise first at order (Lambda_{QCD}/m_V)^2. They can be estimated in terms of higher-twist distribution amplitudes and are predicted to be tiny. We include one-loop O(alpha_s) radiative corrections to the hard-scattering coefficients and perform the resummation of large logarithms [alpha_s log(m_V^2/mu_0^2)]^n (with mu_0=1 GeV a typical hadronic scale) to all orders in perturbation theory. Evolution effects have an important impact both numerically and conceptually, since they reduce the sensitivity to poorly determined hadronic parameters. We present detailed numerical predictions and error estimates, which can serve as benchmarks for future precision measurements. We also present an exploratory study of the weak radiative decays Z->M+W. Some of the decay modes studied here have branching ratios large enough to be accessible in the high-luminosity run of the LHC. Many of them can be measured with high accuracy at a future lepton collider. This will provide stringent tests of the QCD factorization formalism and enable novel searches for new physics.

We perform a systematic analysis of exclusive hadronic channels in e+e- collisions at centre-of-mass energies between 2.1 and 2.6 GeV within the statistical hadronization model. Because of the low multiplicities involved, calculations have been carried out in the full microcanonical ensemble, including conservation of energy-momentum, angular momentum, parity, isospin, and all relevant charges. We show that the data is in an overall good agreement with the model for an energy density of about 0.5 GeV/fm^3 and an extra strangeness suppression parameter gamma_S ~ 0.7, essentially the same values found with fits to inclusive multiplicities at higher energy.

The top quark forward-backward asymmetry measured at the Fermilab Tevatron collider deviates from the standard model prediction. A W^prime boson model is described, where the coupling W^prime-t-d is fixed by the tt_bar forward-backward asymmetry and total cross section at the Tevatron. We show that such a W^prime boson would be produced in association with a top quark at the CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC), thus inducing additional tt_bar+j events. We use measurements of tt_bar+n-jet production from the LHC to constrain the allowed W^prime-t-d couplings as a function of W^prime boson mass. We find that this W^prime model is constrained at the 95% C.L. using 0.7 fb^{-1} of data from the LHC, and could be fully excluded with 5 fb^{-1} of data.

We suggest the possibility that in ADD type brane-world scenarios, the higher KK excitations of the graviton may decay to lower ones owing to a breakdown of the conservation of extra dimensional ``momenta'' and study its implications for astrophysics and cosmology. We give an explicit realization of this idea with a bulk scalar field $\Phi$, whose nonzero KK modes acquire vacuum expectation values. This scenario helps to avoid constraints on large extra dimensions that come from gamma ray flux bounds in the direction of nearby supernovae as well as those coming from diffuse cosmological gamma ray background. It also relaxes the very stringent limits on reheat temperature of the universe in ADD models.

We present our preliminary result for the charmed quark mass, which follows from taking the D_s and K meson masses from experiment and r0=0.5 fm (or, equivalently F_K=160 MeV) to set the scale. For the renormalization group invariant quark mass we obtain M_c = 1684(64) MeV, which translates to m_c(m_c)= 1314 (40)(20)(7) MeV for the running mass in the MSbar scheme. Renormalization is treated non-perturbatively, and the continuum limit has been taken, so that the only uncontrolled systematic error consists in the use of the quenched approximation.

After 10 years of steadily increasing the experimental precision at LEP/SLC, there is a strong demand on an update of existing programs for fermion pair production. We present a rederivation of the O(alpha) Bremsstrahlung corrections to e+e- --> f+f- for the semi-analytic program ZFITTER. We focus on observables like total cross section and forward-backward asymmetry in the leptonic case with combined cuts on acollinearity angle, acceptance angle, and minimal energy of the fermions. The outcome of our analysis is a shift of the predictions by ZFITTER at LEP 1 energies off-resonance of a few per mil while at the Z resonance numerical changes can be neglected. Thus we obtain for cross sections and asymmetries at LEP 1 a level of agreement with other programs of better than per mil, like for the kinematically simpler s' cut option. A preliminary analysis of ZFITTER, TOPAZ0, and other codes at LEP 2 energies showing deviations of several per cent with acollinearity cuts enforce a future examination of higher order effects with different cuts. The predictions by LEP/SLC data, however, are not affected within the experimental errors.

In a class of Randall-Sundrum(RS) models, matter fermions and gauge bosons live in a five dimensional bulk, while the Higgs boson lives in a four dimensional visible brane. The Higgs boson can mix with a radion, by a Higgs-radion mixing term. It is difficult to directly discover the heavy Kaluza-Klein(KK) particles at the Large Hadron Collider(LHC), because the mass of the lightest KK particle is expected to be above 10 TeV to satisfy constraints from avor changing neutral currents(FCNC). Instead, the precision measurements of the Higgs sector at the high luminosity LHC(HL-LHC) and the International Linear Collider(ILC) is a promising way to observe the deviation originating from the Higgs-radion mixing and radiative corrections from the KK gauge bosons and matter fermions. For some cases, those effects are separately determined, providing valuable information on the model. We perform an extensive scan of the model parameters to see the expected deviations of the Higgs couplings. We also choose several reference points consistent with the current data to show the precision of the fundamental parameter measurements at the future colliders. We also study the radion-Z-Z coupling in the model and discuss the role of the ILC for radion search.

We study the finite temperature electroweak phase transition with lattice perturbation theory and Monte Carlo techniques. Dimensional reduction is used to approximate the full four-dimensional SU(2) + a fundamental doublet Higgs theory by an effective three-dimensional SU(2) + adjoint Higgs + fundamental Higgs theory with coefficients depending on temperature via screening masses and mass counterterms. Fermions contribute to the effective theory only via the $N_F$ and $m_{\rm top}$ dependence of the coefficients. For sufficiently small lattices ($N^3 < 30^3$ for $m_H$ = 35 GeV) the study of the one-loop lattice effective potential shows the existence of the {\em second} order phase transition even for the small Higgs masses. At the same time, a clear signal of a {\em first order} phase transition is seen on the lattice simulations with a transition temperature close to but less than the value determined from the perturbative calculations. This indicates that the dynamics of the first order electroweak phase transition depends strongly on non-perturbative effects and is not exclusively related to the so-called $\phi^3$ term in the effective potential.

The Affleck-Dine mechanism creates the baryon asymmetry of the universe from an angular motion of a complex scalar field. The mechanism is efficient and allows for a low reheating temperature of the universe if the scalar field has a flat potential along its radial direction. We consider a possibility where the scalar field is a pseudo-Nambu-Goldstone boson arising from spontaneous breaking of an approximate global symmetry, so that the flatness of the potential is naturally understood. We construct a concrete realization of the idea based on chiral symmetry breaking in an SU(N) gauge theory. The Peccei-Quinn mechanism can be consistently incorporated into the model. We also comment on a possible impact of the model on early universe physics.

Energy correlators characterize the asymptotic energy flow in scattering events produced at colliders, from which the microscopic physics of the scattering can be deduced. This view of collisions is akin to analyses of the Cosmic Microwave Background, and a range of promising phenomenological applications of energy correlators have been identified, including the study of hadronization, the deadcone effect, measuring $\alpha_s$ and the top quark mass. While $N$-point energy correlators are interesting to study for larger values of $N$, their evaluation is computationally intensive, scaling like $M^N/N!$, where $M$ is the number of particles. In this letter we develop a fast method for their evaluation, exploiting that correlations at a given angular scale are insensitive to effects at other (widely-separated) scales. For concreteness we focus on the projected energy correlator, which projects onto the largest separation between the $N$ directions. E.g.~for $N=7$ we find a speed up of up to four orders of magnitude, depending on the desired accuracy. We also consider the possibility of raising the energy to a power higher than one in the energy correlator, which has been proposed to reduce soft sensitivity, and further cuts back the required computation time. These higher-power correlators are not collinear safe, but as a byproduct our approach suggests a natural method to regularize them, such that they can be described using perturbation theory. This letter is accompanied by a public code that implements our method.

We also consider the possibility of raising the energy to a power higher than one in the energy correlator, which has been proposed to reduce soft sensitivity, and further cuts back the required computation time. These higher-power correlators are not collinear safe, but as a byproduct our approach suggests a natural method to regularize them, such that they can be described using perturbation theory. This letter is accompanied by a public code that implements our method.

Abundant phenomenology suggests that strong decays from relatively low-excitation hadrons into other hadrons proceed by the creation of a light quark-antiquark pair with zero total angular momentum, the so called $^3P_0$ mechanism originating from a scalar bilinear. Yet the Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) interaction is perturbatively mediated by gluons of spin one, and QCD presents a chirally symmetric Lagrangian. Such scalar decay term must be spontaneously generated upon breaking chiral symmetry. We attempt to reproduce this with the help of the quark-gluon vertex in Landau gauge, whose nonperturbative structure has been reasonably elucidated in the last years, and insertions of a uniform, constant chromoelectric field. This is akin to Schwinger pair production in Quantum Electrodynamics (QED), and we provide a comparison with its two field-insertions diagram. We find that, the symmetry being cylindrical, the adequate quantum numbers to discuss the production are rather $^3\Sigma_0$, $^3\Sigma_1$ and $^3\Pi_0$ as in diatomic molecules, and we indeed find a sizeable contribution of the third decay mechanism, which may give a rationale for the $^3P_0$ phenomenology, as long as the momentum of the produced pair is at or below the scale of the bare or dynamically generated fermion mass. On the other hand, ultrarelativistic fermions are rather ejected with $^3\Sigma_1$ quantum numbers. In QED, our results suggest that $^3\Sigma_0$ dominates, whereas the constraint of producing a color singlet in QCD leads to $^3\Pi_0$ dominance at sub-GeV momenta.

We study CP violation in b-baryon decays of $\Xi_b^- \to \Xi^- D$ with $D = D^0, \bar{D}^0$ and $D_i~(i=1,2)$. We find that these baryonic decay processes provide an ideal opportunity to measure the weak phase due to the absence of the relative strong phase. Explicitly, we relate $\bar{\rho}$ and $\bar{\eta}$ the CKM elements with the decay rate ratios of $R_i= \Gamma(\Xi_b^- \to \Xi^-D_{i} ) / \Gamma( \Xi_b^- \to \Xi^-D^0 )$ without the charge conjugate states. As a complementary, we also examine the decay distributions of $\Lambda_b \to \Lambda(\to p \pi^- ) D$. There are in total 32 decay observables, which can be parameterized by 9 real parameters, allowing the experiments to extract the angle $\gamma\equiv \arg(-V_{ud}V_{ub}^*/V_{cd}V_{cb}^*)$ in the CKM unitarity triangle. In addition, the feasibilities of the experimental measurements are discussed. We find that $\bar{\rho}$ and $\bar{\eta}$ can be extracted at LHCb Run3 from $\Xi_b^- \to \Xi^- D$, and a full analysis of $\Lambda_b \to \Lambda(\to p \pi^-)D$ is available at LHCb Run4.

Within multi-Higgs-doublet models, one can impose symmetries on the Higgs potential, either discrete or continuous, that mix several doublets. In two-Higgs-doublet model any such symmetry can be conserved or spontaneously violated after the electroweak symmetry breaking (EWSB), depending on the coefficients of the potential. With more than two doublets, there exist symmetries which are always spontaneously violated after EWSB. We discuss the origin of this phenomenon and show its similarity to geometric frustration in condensed-matter physics.

Phenomenological studies of a CP-violating two-Higgs-doublet Model with type-II Yukawa couplings are presented. In the light of recent LHC data, an update on the viable parameter space that survives both the experimental and theoretical constraints is provided. In addition, the scope of the LHC in exploring this model through the discovery of a charged Higgs boson that decays in the tauonic mode is analysed. For this, various production channels were investigated, with emphasis on the boson-associated channel $gg\to H_i\to H^\pm W^\mp$ and the fermion-associated channels $gb\to H^\pm t$ and $gg\to H^\pm bt$. For the latter, a signal-over-background analysis is performed.

The inclusive branching ratio $B \to X_s\gamma$ and the anomalous magnetic moment $g_\mu-2$ of the muon are accurately calculated within a minimal gauge-mediated SUSY-breaking model which naturally generates a large $\tan\beta$. The predictions are in somewhat better agreement with current experiments, and new data will soon critically test these predictions. Predictions for $B \to X_s\ell^+\ell^-$ branching ratios and asymmetries, to be tested at future colliders, are also presented.

We present a new model for simulating exclusive final states in minimum-bias collisions between hadrons. In a series of papers we have developed a Monte Carlo model based on Mueller's dipole picture of BFKL-evolution, supplemented with non-leading corrections, which has shown to be very successful in describing inclusive and semi-inclusive observables in hadron collisions. In this paper we present a further extension of this model to also describe exclusive final states. This is a highly non-trivial extension, and we have encountered many details that influence the description, and for which no guidance from perturbative QCD could be found. Hence we have had to make many choices based on semi-classical and phenomenological arguments. The end result is a new event generator called DIPSY which can be used to simulate complete minimum-bias non-diffractive hadronic collision events. Although the description of data from the Tevatron and LHC is not quite as good as for PYTHIA, the most advanced of the general purpose event generator programs for these processes, our results are clearly competitive, and can be expected to improve with careful tuning. In addition, as our model is very different from conventional multiple scattering scenaria, the DIPSY program can be used to gain deeper insight in the soft and semi-hard processes involved both in hadronic and heavy ion collisions.

An important role of the scalar isoscalar sigma-meson in the low-energy physics is discussed. The behavior of the sigma-meson in the hot and dense medium is studied. It is shown that in the vicinity of critical values of temperature(T) and chemical potential(m) the sigma-meson can become a sharp resonance. This effect can lead to a strong enhancement of the processes pi pi -> gamma gamma and pi pi-> pi pi near the two-pion threshold. Experimental observation of this phenomenon can be interpreted as a signal of approaching the domain where the chiral symmetry restoration and phase transition of the hadron matter into quark-gluon plasma take place.

We study the predictions for M_top, tan(beta) and V_cb in a popular texture ansatze for the fermion mass matrices. We do this both for the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM) and for the simplest model (MSSM-BRpV) where a bilinear R-Parity violating term is added to the superpotential. We find that taking the experimental values for M_top and V_cb at 99 % C.L. and the GUT relations h_b=h_tau and (V_cb)^2=h_c/h_t within 5 %, the large tan(beta) solution, characteristic in the MSSM with bottom--tau unification, becomes disallowed. In contrast the corresponding allowed region for the MSSM-BRpV is slightly larger. We also find that important modifications occur if we relax the texture conditions at the GUT scale. For example, if the GUT relations are imposed at 40 %, the large tan(beta) branch in the MSSM becomes fully allowed. In addition, in MSSM-BRpV the whole tan(beta)-M_top plane become allowed, finding unification at any value of tan(beta).

Extended air showers originate from interactions between ultra-high-energy cosmic rays and nuclei in the Earth's atmosphere. At present there are some discrepancies between experimental observed properties of these air showers and theoretical predictions obtained by using standard hadronic interaction models for cosmic ray primaries with laboratory energies above 10^5 - 10^6 TeV. In this contribution, we will present a preliminary discussion of the possibility (in the framework of TeV gravity models) that shower development may begin with the production of a microscopic black hole (MBH) at the moment of the primary collision, which then evaporates and decays, by emitting gravitons and Standard Model quanta. From our preliminary investigations it appears that lepton distributions are more likely to reveal the presence of a MBH than photon distributions.

Our results suggest that Lambda_b(5912) and Lambda_b(5920) can be well described by the baryon doublet [3F_bar, 1, 1, rho], and they belong to the SU(3) 3F_bar multiplets of J(P)=1/2(-) and 3/2(-). Their SU(3) flavor partners, Xi_b(1/2-) and Xi_b(3/2-), have masses 6.06 \pm 0.13 GeV and 6.07 \pm 0.13 GeV, respectively, with mass splitting 9 \pm 4 MeV. The results obtained using baryon doublet [3F_bar, 1, 0, lambda] are similar and also consistent with the experimental data.

The fermionic dark matter (DM) absorption by nucleus or electron targets provides a distinctive signal to search for sub-GeV DM. We consider a Dirac fermion DM charged under a dark gauge group and with the dark magnetic dipole operator. The DM field mixes with right-handed neutrino and interacts with the ordinary electromagnetic charge current via the kinetic mixing term of gauge fields. As a result, the incoming DM is absorbed and converted into neutrino in final state through the dipole-charge interaction. For the DM absorption by nucleus, the recoil energy spectrum exhibit a peak at $m_\chi^2/2m_N$ for each isotope in the target. XENON1T can probe the DM mass above 27 MeV and the projected constraint on the inelastic DM-nucleon cross section becomes $10^{-49}$ cm$^2$. CRESSTIII with lower energy threshold would be sensitive to the DM mass above 2 MeV. We also check that the contribution from the nuclear magnetic dipole is negligible for $^{131}{\rm Xe}$ target. The absorption of DM by bound electron target induces ionization signal and is sensitive to sub-MeV DM mass. The involvement of the ionization form factor spreads out the localized recoil energy. We show the future prospect for the constraint on the magnetic dipole coupling from the electron ionization of $^{131}{\rm Xe}$.

In this note we propose a model of leptogenesis in which the scale for the mass of the necessary heavy neutral lepton is similar to the scale of electroweak symmetry breaking.

We show that violation of the Lorentz symmetry in quantum electrodynamics can suppress the rates of the interactions crucial for the formation of photon-induced air showers, such as pair production on nuclei and in the geomagnetic field. As a consequence, the allowed region in the space of Lorentz-violating parameters will be seriously restricted if several photons with energies $\gtrsim\,10^{19}\, {eV}$ are detected.

Proton beam dump experiments are among the most promising strategies to search for light and feebly interacting states such as axion-like particles (ALPs). The interpretation of these experiments is however complicated by the wide range of ALP models and the multitude of different production and decay channels that can induce observable signals. Here we propose a new approach to this problem by separating the calculation of constraints and projected sensitivities into model-independent and model-dependent parts. The former rely on extensive Monte Carlo simulations of ALP production and decays, as well as estimates of the detection efficiencies based on simplified detector geometries. Once these simulations have been performed and tabulated, the latter parts only require simple analytical rescalings that can be performed using the public code ALPINIST released together with this work. We illustrate this approach by considering several ALP models with couplings to Standard Model gauge bosons. For the case of ALPs coupled to gluons we show that the sensitivity of proton beam dump experiments can be extended significantly by considering hadronic ALP decays into three-body final states.

Recently in hep-ph/0605035 and hep-ph/0608138, we have shown that primordial inflation can be embedded within the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model, while providing the right amplitude for the density perturbations and a tilted spectrum which matches the current data. In this short note we show that the model predicts a range of spectral tilt, $0.92 \leq n_s \leq 1$, depending on deviation from the saddle point condition. The spectral tilt saturates the lower limit when the saddle point condition is met. On the other hand the upper limit can be achieved for a slight deviation towards the point of inflection. The running of the spectral tilt remains small, and the amplitude of the temperature anisotropies remains in the correct observational regime.

We investigate possible tests of CPT invariance on the level of event rates at neutrino factories. We do not assume any specific model, but phenomenological differences in the neutrino-antineutrino masses and mixing angles in a Lorentz invariance preserving context, which could be induced by physics beyond the Standard Model. We especially focus on the muon neutrino and antineutrino disappearance channels in order to obtain constraints on the neutrino-antineutrino mass and mixing angle differences. In a typical neutrino factory setup simulation, we find, for example, that $|m_3 - \bar{m}_3| \lesssim 1.9 \cdot 10^{-4} \mathrm{eV}$ and $|\theta_{23} -\bar \theta_{23}| \lesssim 2^\circ$.
