If the weak phase of B_s-anti B_s mixing (2 beta_s) is found to be significantly different from zero, this is a clear signal of new physics (NP). However, if such a signal is found, we would like an unambiguous determination of 2 beta_s in order to ascertain which NP models could be responsible. In addition, in the presence of NP, the width difference \Delta\Gamma_s between the two B_s mass eigenstates can be positive or negative, and ideally this sign ambiguity should be resolved experimentally. Finally, in order to see if the NP is contributing to \Gamma^s_{12} in addition to M^s_{12}, the precise measurement of |\Gamma^s_{12}| is crucial. In this paper, we consider several different methods of measuring B_s-anti B_s mixing using two- and three-body decays with ${\bar b} \to {\bar c} u {\bar s}$ and ${\bar b} \to {\bar u} c {\bar s}$ transitions. We find that the most promising of these is a time-dependent Dalitz-plot analysis of $B_s (\bar B_s) \to D^0_{CP} K {\bar K}$. With these decays, all of the above issues can be addressed, and the measurement of the weak phase gamma is also possible. We also note that, with all three-body decays it is possible to resolve the sign ambiguity of \Delta\Gamma_s even without determining the CP phase phi_s.

In 1970, on purely theoretical grounds, all total hadronic total cross sections were predicted to increase without limit for higher and higher energies. This was contrary to the conventional belief at that time. In 1978, an accurate phenomenological model was formulated for the case of proton-proton and antiproton-proton interactions. The parameters for this model were slightly improved in 1984 using the additional available experimental data. Since then, for thirty years these parameters have not changed. This development, including especially the difficult task of formulating this phenomenological model and the comparison of the predictions of this model with later experimental results, is summarized.

The 13 TeV run of the LHC has provided a unique opportunity to explore multi-jet final states with unprecedented accuracy. An interesting region for study is that of events where one jet is tagged in the forward direction and another one in the backward direction and a plethora of low energy mini-jets populate the possibly large rapidity span in between them. Since the number of these events is very high, it is possible to introduce stringent constraints on the transverse momentum of the two leading jets which can be kept in small windows not very different from each other, defining what we call "twin jets". The associated "crowd" of mini-jets can also have a restricted span in transverse momentum. The study of these events for a fixed multiplicity is an ideal playground to investigate different models of multi-particle production in hadron-hadron collisions. We set up an exploratory analysis by using an ancient model of Chew and Pignotti to describe the gross features one can expect for the structure of single and double differential-in-rapidity cross sections and for particle-particle rapidity correlations when the longitudinal phase space completely decouples from the transverse degrees of freedom.

A dark scalar mediator can easily realize the self-interacting dark matter scenario and satisfy the constraint of the relic density of the dark matter. When the hidden sector is highly decoupled from the visible sector, the gravitational waves produced by the first order phase transition resulted from this dark scalar mediator will be an important signature to probe the dark sector physics. The simplest dark sector with one scalar and one Dirac fermion is studied in this work. A generic quartic finite-temperature potential is used to induce the strong first order phase transition. A joint analysis of the self-interacting dark matter, the relic density of the dark matter and the first order phase transition shows that the mass range of the dark scalar is about $(4\times 10^{-4} \sim 3)~\rm GeV$. For the dark matter, when the temperature ratio $\xi$ between the hidden sector and the visible sector is larger than 0.1, its mass range is about $(10~ \rm MeV\sim 10~ \rm GeV)$. The produced gravitational waves have a peak frequency of $(10^{-6}\sim 10^{-3}) ~\rm Hz$ for a temperature ratio $0.1<\xi<1$, which may be detectable in future measurements.

The recent B-meson anomalies are coherently explained at the TeV scale by 4321 gauge models with hierarchical couplings reminiscent of the Standard Model Yukawas. We show that such models arise as the low-energy limit of a complete theory of flavor, based on a warped fifth dimension where each Standard Model family is quasi-localized in a different brane. The Higgs is identified as a pseudo-Nambu-Goldstone boson emerging from the same dynamics responsible for 4321 symmetry breaking. This novel construction unifies quarks and leptons in a flavor non-universal manner, provides a natural description of flavor hierarchies, and addresses the electroweak hierarchy problem.

The feasibility of these SSA is studied with the new generator of polarized DY events. The performed estimations demonstrate that there exist the such kinematical regions where SSA are presumably measurable. The most useful for PDFs extraction are the limiting kinematical ranges, where one can neglect the sea PDFs contributions which occur at large values of Bjorken x. It is of interest that on the contrary to the Sivers PDF, the transversity PDF is presumably accessible only in the especial kinematical region. On the contrary to the option with the symmetric collider mode (RHIC, NICA), this is of importance for the COMPASS experiment and the future J-PARC facility where the fixed target mode is available.

We investigate the branching ratios, the polarization fractions, the direct CP-violating asymmetries, and the relative phases in 20 nonleptonic decay modes of $B \to f_1 V$ within the framework of perturbative QCD approach at leading order with $f_1$ including two $^3\!P_1$-axial-vector states $f_1(1285)$ and $f_1(1420)$. Here, $B$ denotes $B^+$, $B^0$, and $B_s^0$ mesons and $V$ stands for the lightest vector mesons $\rho$, $K^*$, $\omega$, and $\phi$ , respectively. The $B_s^0 \to f_1 V$ decays are studied theoretically for the first time in the literature. Together with the angle $\phi_{f_1} \approx (24^{+3.2}_{-2.7})^\circ$ extracted from the measurement through $B_{d/s} \to J/\psi f_1(1285)$ modes for the $f_1(1285)-f_1(1420)$ mixing system, it is of great interest to find phenomenologically some modes such as the tree-dominated $B^+ \to f_1 \rho^+$ and the penguin-dominated $B^{+,0} \to f_1 K^{*+,0}, B_s^0 \to f_1 \phi$ with large branching ratios around ${\cal O}(10^{-6})$ or even ${\cal O}(10^{-5})$, which are expected measurable at the LHCb and/or the Belle-II experiments in the near future. The good agreement [sharp contrast] of branching ratios and decay pattern for $B^+ \to f_1 \rho^+, B^{+,0} \to f_1(1285) K^{*+,0} [B^{+,0} \to f_1(1420) K^{*+,0}]$ decays between QCD factorization and perturbative QCD factorization predictions can help us to distinguish these two rather different factorization approaches via precision measurements, which would also be helpful for us to explore the annihilation decay mechanism through its important roles for the considered $B \to f_1 V$ decays.

We present next-to-leading order (NLO) electroweak corrections to the dominant five angular coefficients parametrizing the Drell-Yan process in the $Z$-boson mass peak range for finite-$p_T$ vector boson production. The results are presented differentially in the vector boson transverse momentum. The Lam-Tung violating difference $A_0-A_2$ is examined alongside the coefficients. A single lepton transverse momentum cut is needed in the case of electroweak corrections to avoid a double singularity in the photon induced diagrams, and the dependence on the value of this cut is examined. We compare the electroweak corrections to the angular coefficients to the NLO QCD corrections, including the single lepton cut. The size of the single lepton cut is found to affect the two coefficients $A_0$ and $A_2$ to largest extent. The relative size of the electroweak corrections to the coefficients is moderate for all single lepton cut values, and by extrapolation to the inclusive results, is moderate also for the full dilepton phase space case. However, for the Lam-Tung violation, there is a significant contribution from the electroweak corrections for low $p_T$ of the lepton pair.

The axion is a hypothetical elementary particle that could solve the long-standing strong CP problem in particle physics and the dark matter mystery in the cosmos. Due to the stimulation of the ambient photons, the axion dark matter decay into photons is significantly enhanced so that its echo signal could be detected by terrestrial telescopes. As a pathfinder, we study the expected sensitivity of searching for the axion dark matter in the mass range between $0.41$ and $1.6\mu\text{eV}$ with the 21 CentiMeter Array (21CMA). We aim to cover the whole 21CMA frequency range in two years by using a 1MW emitter. We find that the resulting sensitivity on the axion-photon coupling could surpass other existing limits by about one order of magnitude.

In the scenario with four quark generations, we perform a fit using flavor-physics data and determine the allowed values -- preferred central values and errors -- of all of the elements of the 4X4 quark mixing matrix. In addition to the direct measurements of some of the elements, we include in the fit the present measurements of several flavor-changing observables in the K and B systems that have small hadronic uncertainties, and also consider the constraints from the vertex corrections to Z -> b bbar. The values taken for the masses of the fourth-generation quarks are consistent with the measurements of the oblique parameters and perturbativity of the Yukawa couplings. We find that |{\tilde V}_{tb}| >= 0.98 at 3sigma, so that a fourth generation cannot account for any large deviation of |{\tilde V}_{tb}| from unity. The fit also indicates that all the new-physics parameters are consistent with zero, and the mixing of the fourth generation with the other three is constrained to be very small: we obtain |{\tilde V}_{ub'}| < 0.06, |{\tilde V}_{cb'}| < 0.027, and |{\tilde V}_{tb'}| < 0.31 at 3sigma.

In the scenario with four quark generations, we perform a fit using flavor-physics data and determine the allowed values -- preferred central values and errors -- of all of the elements of the 4X4 quark mixing matrix. In addition to the direct measurements of some of the elements, we include in the fit the present measurements of several flavor-changing observables in the K and B systems that have small hadronic uncertainties, and also consider the constraints from the vertex corrections to Z -> b bbar. The values taken for the masses of the fourth-generation quarks are consistent with the measurements of the oblique parameters and perturbativity of the Yukawa couplings. We find that |{\tilde V}_{tb}| >= 0.98 at 3sigma, so that a fourth generation cannot account for any large deviation of |{\tilde V}_{tb}| from unity. The fit also indicates that all the new-physics parameters are consistent with zero, and the mixing of the fourth generation with the other three is constrained to be very small: we obtain |{\tilde V}_{ub'}| < 0.06, |{\tilde V}_{cb'}| < 0.027, and |{\tilde V}_{tb'}| < 0.31 at 3sigma.

We speculate that the mass spectrum of three neutrinos might have a normal hierarchy as that of three charged leptons or that of three up-type (or down-type) quarks. In this spirit, we propose a novel parametrization of the $3\times 3$ lepton flavor mixing matrix. Its mixing angles $\theta_l$ and $\theta_\nu$ can be related to the mass ratios $m_e/m_\mu$ and $m_1/m_2$ in a specific texture of lepton mass matrices with vanishing (1,1) elements: $\tan\theta_l = \sqrt{m_e/m_\mu}$ and $\tan\theta_\nu = \sqrt{m_1/m_2}$. The latter relation, together with solar and atmospheric neutrino oscillation data, predicts 0.0030 eV $\lesssim m_1 \lesssim$ 0.0073 eV, 0.009 eV $\lesssim m_2 \lesssim $ 0.012 eV and 0.042 eV $\lesssim m_3 \lesssim$ 0.058 eV. The smallest neutrino mixing angle is found to be $\theta_{13} \approx \theta_l/\sqrt{2} \approx 3^\circ$, which is experimentally accessible in the near future.

We revisit the stability and triviality bounds on the Higgs boson mass in the context of the Standard Model with three and four generations (SM3 and SM4, respectively). In light of the recent results from LHC the triviality bound in the SM3 has now become obsolete, and the stability bound implies for a Higgs mass of e.g. mH=115 GeV the onset of new physics before 650 TeV, whereas there are no limits for mH>133 GeV. For the SM4, the stability and triviality curves intersect and bound a finite region. As a consequence, the fourth generation fermions place stringent theoretical limits on the Higgs mass, and there is a maximal scale beyond which the theory cannot be perturbatively valid. We find that the Higgs mass cannot exceed 700 GeV for any values of the fourth generation fermion masses. Turning the argument around, the absence of a Higgs signal for mH<600 GeV excludes a fourth generation with quark masses below 300 GeV and lepton masses below 350 GeV. In particular, the quark bounds also hold for the small mixing scenarios for which the direct limits from Tevatron and LHC are not applicable, and the lepton bounds we obtain are stronger than the collider limits. If a Higgs boson lighter than 700 GeV is not observed, a fourth generation of chiral fermions with perturbative Yukawa couplings will be conclusively excluded for the full range of parameters.

We study the structure of the $\Lambda_c(2595)$ and $\Lambda_c(2625)$ resonances in the framework of an effective field theory consistent with heavy quark spin and chiral symmetries, that incorporates the interplay between $\Sigma_c^{(*)}\pi-ND^{(*)}$ baryon-meson degrees of freedom and bare P-wave $c\bar ud$ quark-model states. We show that these two resonances are not HQSS partners. The $J^P= 3/2^-$ $\Lambda_c(2625)$ should be viewed mostly as a dressed three quark state, whose origin is determined by a bare state, predicted to lie very close to the mass of the resonance. The $J^P= 1/2^-$ $\Lambda_c(2595)$ seems to have, however, a predominant molecular structure. This is because, it is either the result of the chiral $\Sigma_c\pi$ interaction, which threshold is located much more closer than the mass of the bare three-quark state, or because the light degrees of freedom in its inner structure are coupled to the unnatural $0^-$ quantum-numbers. We show that both situations can occur depending on the renormalization procedure used. We find some additional states, but the classification of the spectrum in terms of HQSS is difficult, despite having used interactions that respect this symmetry. This is because the bare quark-model state and the $\Sigma_c\pi$ threshold are located extraordinarily close to the $\Lambda_c(2625)$ and $\Lambda_c(2595)$, respectively, and hence they play totally different roles in each sector.

The effect of parton energy loss in cold nuclear matter on the suppression of quarkonia (J/psi, Upsilon) in heavy-ion collisions is investigated, by extrapolating a model based on coherent radiative energy loss recently shown to describe successfully J/psi and Upsilon suppression in proton-nucleus collisions. Model predictions in heavy-ion collisions at RHIC (Au-Au, Cu-Cu, and Cu-Au) and LHC (Pb-Pb) show a sizable suppression arising from the sole effect of energy loss in cold matter. This effect should thus be considered in order to get a reliable baseline for cold nuclear matter effects in quarkonium suppression in heavy-ion collisions, in view of disentangling hot from cold nuclear effects.

Neutrinos play an important role in core-collapse supernova events since they are a key piece to understand the explosion mechanisms. The analysis of the neutrino fluxes can bring answers to neutrino's related problems e.g.: mass hierarchy, spectral splitting, sterile neutrinos, etc. In this work we study the impact of neutrino oscillations and the possible existence of eV sterile neutrinos upon the supernova neutrino flux $F_\nu(E)$. We have calculated the energy distribution of the neutrino flux from a supernova and the total number of events which would be detected in a liquid scintillator. We also present an analysis for the conversion probabilities as a function of the active-sterile neutrino mixing parameters. Finally, we have carried out a statistical analysis to extract values for the mixing parameters of the model.

A mu+ mu- collider is an appealing machine to probe resonant CP-violating transitions of a CP-even Higgs particle into the Z boson or into another CP-odd Higgs scalar. These phenomena are studied within a manifestly gauge-invariant approach implemented by the pinch technique. The CP invariance of an extended Higgs sector motivated by supersymmetric E_6 models is assumed to be broken radiatively by the presence of heavy Majorana fermions. CP violation originating from Higgs-Z mixing is found to be very modest, whereas CP-number violating transitions involving Higgs scalars only can be resonantly enhanced up to order of unity.

Leptogenesis constitues a very simple scenario to achieve the baryon asymmetry that we observe today. It requires only the presence of right handed neutrinos (which arise very naturally in many extensions of the Standard Model) and depends crucially on the mechanism responsible for their production. In particular, when their mass exceeds the inflaton mass (10^13 GeV in chaotic inflation) only non perturbative production can occur. It is shown here that non perturbative production of fermions in an expanding Universe is a very efficient mechanism up to masses of order of (10^17 - 10^18) GeV, and that it can be easily applied to solve the baryon asymmetry problem.

We show that the rotation of the QCD axion field, aided by $B-L$ violation from supersymmetric $R$-parity violating couplings, can yield the observed baryon abundance. Strong sphaleron processes transfer the angular momentum of the axion field into a quark chiral asymmetry, which $R$-parity violating couplings convert to the baryon asymmetry of the Universe. We focus on the case of dimensionless $R$-parity violating couplings with textures motivated by grand unified theories and comment on more general scenarios. The axion decay constant and mass spectrum of supersymmetric particles are constrained by Big Bang nucleosynthesis, proton decay from the $R$-parity violation, and successful thermalization of the Peccei-Quinn symmetry breaking field. Axion dark matter may be produced by the axion rotation via the kinetic misalignment mechanism for axion decay constants below $10^{10}$ GeV, or by the conventional misalignment mechanism for $10^{11-12}$ GeV. The viable parameter region can be probed by proton decay and axion searches. This scenario may also have connections with collider experiments, including searches for long-lived particles, and observations of gravitational waves.

We show that the probability of non-perturbative gluon pair production per unit time per unit volume per unit transverse momentum \frac{dW}{d^4xd^2p_T} is independent of gauge fixing parameter \alpha.

Analytical results for the pole terms in epsilon of so far unknown box MIs with five internal lines are given.

We propose a method for determining $\gamma$ using $B^\pm\to D K^\pm$ decays followed by a multibody $D$ decay, such as $D \to K_S \pi^-\pi^+$, $D \to K_S K^-K^+$ and $D \to K_S \pi^-\pi^+\pi^0$. The main advantages of the method is that it uses only Cabibbo allowed $D$ decays, and that large strong phases are expected due to the presence of resonances. Since no knowledge about the resonance structure is needed, $\gamma$ can be extracted without any hadronic uncertainty.

Unparticles ($\U$) interact weakly with particles. The direct signature of unparticles will be in the form of missing energy. We study constraints on unparticle interactions using totally invisible decay modes of $Z$, vector quarkonia $V$ and neutrinos. The constraints on the unparticle interaction scale $\Lambda_\U$ are very sensitive to the dimension $d_\U$ of the unparticles. From invisible $Z$ and $V$ decays, we find that with $d_\U$ close to 1 for vector $\U$, the unparticle scale $\Lambda_\U$ can be more than $10^4$ TeV, and for $d_\U$ around 2, the scale can be lower than one TeV. From invisible neutrino decays, we find that if $d_\U$ is close to 3/2, the scale can be more than the Planck mass, but with $d_\U$ around 2 the scale can be as low as a few hundred GeV. We also study the possibility of using $V (Z)\to \gamma + \U$ to constrain unparticle interactions, and find that present data give weak constraints.

We repurpose the recent ATLAS search for same-sign top quarks in data with 1.0 fb$^{-1}$ in the context of a search for production of four top quarks. Using the null results of that search, we place limits on the four-top-quark production cross section of about 1 pb. These limits are larger than the expected Standard Model rate for four-top-quark production, but are already strong enough to place interesting constraints on models which enhance that rate. We interpret these results in the context of models in which the right-handed top quark is composite and find limits on the compositeness scale of about 700 GeV.

We outline a method for characterizing deviations from the properties of a Standard Model (SM) Higgs boson. We apply it to current data in order to characterize up to which degree the SM Higgs boson interpretation is consistent with experiment. We find that the SM Higgs boson is consistent with the current data set at the 82 % confidence level, based on data of excess events reported by CMS and ATLAS, which are interpreted to be related to the mass scale mh = 124-126 GeV, and on published CL_s exclusion regions. We perform a global fit in terms of two parameters characterizing the deviation from the SM value in the gauge and fermion couplings of a Higgs boson. We find two minima in the global fit and identify observables that can remove this degeneracy. An update for Moriond 2012 data is included in the Appendix, which finds that the SM Higgs boson is now consistent with the current data set at only the 94 % confidence level (which corresponds to ~ 2 sigma tension compared to the best fit point).

We summarize the results of the chiral quark-soliton model ($\chi$QSM) concerning basically all form factors necessary to interpret the present data of the parity violating electron scattering experiments SAMPLE, HAPPEX, A4 and G0. The results particularly focus on the recently measured asymmetries and the detailed data for various combinations of $G_{M}^{s}$, $G_{E}^{s}$, $\tilde{G}_{A}^{p}$ and $\tilde{G}_{A}^{n}$ at $Q^2=0.1$ GeV$^2$. The calculations yield positive strange magnetic and electric form factors and a negative axial vector one, all being rather small. The results are very close to the combined experimental world data from parity violating electron scattering and elastic $\nu p$- and $\bar{\nu p}$- scattering.

Transverse polarization of ${}^3 S_1$ charmonium states, produced directly in $p\bar{p}$ collisions at asymptotically large transverse momentum p_t, has emerged as the most prominent test of color octet contributions and spin symmetry in quarkonium production. We present predictions for the polar angle distribution at moderate values of p_t \sim 4 - 20 GeV, covered by the Tevatron Run I data. We update the fits of NRQCD matrix elements and discuss their theoretical uncertainties. With our best fit values, no transverse polarization is expected at p_t \sim 5 GeV, but the angular distribution is predicted to change dramatically as p_t increases to 20 GeV.

In noncommutative QED photons present self-interactions in the form of triple and quartic interactions. The triple interaction implies that, even though the photon is electrically neutral, it will deflect when in the presence of an electromagnetic field. If detected, such deflection would be an undoubted signal of noncommutative space-time. In this work we derive the general expression for the deflection of a photon by any electromagnetic field. As an application we consider the case of the deflection of a photon by an external static Coulomb field.

The conspicuous threshold enhancement has been observed in the baryon-antibaryon subchannels of many three-body B decay modes. By examining the partial waves of baryon-antibaryon, we first show for B- -->pp-bar K- that the pK- angular correlation rules out dominance of a single pp-bar partial wave for the enhancement, for instance, the resonance hypothesis or the strong final-state interaction in a single channel. The measured pK- angular correlation turns out to be opposite to the naive expectation of the short-distance picture. We study the origin of this reversed angular correlation in the context of the pp-bar partial waves and argue that NN-bar bound states may be the cause of this sign reversal. Dependence of the angular correlation on the pp-bar invariant mass is very important to probe the underlying problem from the experimental side.

Polarization measurements of thermal radiation from magnetic white dwarf (MWD) stars have been proposed as a probe of axion-photon mixing. The radiation leaving the surface of the MWD is unpolarized, but if low-mass axions exist then photons polarized parallel to the direction of the MWD's magnetic field may convert into axions, which induces a linear polarization dependent on the strength of the axion-photon coupling $g_{a\gamma\gamma}$. We model this process by using the formalism of axion-photon mixing in the presence of strong-field vacuum birefringence to show that of all stellar types MWDs are the most promising targets for axion-induced polarization searches. We then consider linear polarization data from multiple MWDs, including SDSS J135141 and Grw+70$^\circ$8247, to show that after rigorously accounting for astrophysical uncertainties the axion-photon coupling is constrained to $|g_{a\gamma\gamma}| \lesssim 5.4 \times 10^{-12}$ GeV$^{-1}$ at 95% confidence for axion masses $m_a \lesssim 3 \times 10^{-7}$ eV. This upper limit puts in tension the previously-suggested explanation of the anomalous transparency of the Universe to TeV gamma-rays in terms of axions. We identify MWD targets for which future data and modeling efforts could further improve the sensitivity to axions.

Dynamical symmetry breaking provides a possible solution to the electroweak hierarchy problem. It requires new strong interactions that are effective at some high-energy scale. If there is no light Higgs boson, this scale is constrained to be in the TeV range, and signals of the new interactions can be observed, directly or indirectly, in collider experiments. Even if no observable states in the Higgs sector are kinematically accessible, a Linear Collider will cover the low-energy parameter space that arises in a systematic model-independent analysis of dynamical electroweak symmetry breaking.

The superradiant instability of black hole space-times has been used to place limits on ultra-light bosonic particles. We show that these limits are model dependent. While the initial growth of the mode is gravitational and thus model independent, the ability to place a limit on new particles requires the mode to grow unhindered to a large number density. Non-linear interactions between the particle and other light degrees of freedom that are mediated through higher dimension operators can damp this growth, eliminating the limit. However, these non-linearities may also destroy a cosmic abundance of these light particles, an attractive avenue for their discovery in several experiments. We study the specific example of the QCD axion and show that it is easy to construct models where these non-linearities eliminate limits from superradiance while preserving their cosmic abundance.

Higgs pair production is a crucial phenomenological process in deciphering the nature of the TeV scale and the mechanism underlying electroweak symmetry breaking. At the Large Hadron Collider, this process is statistically limited. Pushing the energy frontier beyond the LHC's reach will create new opportunities to exploit the rich phenomenology at higher centre-of-mass energies and luminosities. In this work, we perform a comparative analysis of the $hh+\text{jet}$ channel at a future 100 TeV hadron collider. We focus on the $hh\to b\bar b b\bar b$ and $hh \to b\bar b \tau^+\tau^-$ channels and employ a range of analysis techniques to estimate the sensitivity potential that can be gained by including this jet-associated Higgs pair production to the list of sensitive collider processes in such an environment. In particular, we observe that $hh \to b\bar b \tau^+\tau^-$ in the boosted regime exhibits a large sensitivity to the Higgs boson self-coupling and the Higgs self-coupling could be constrained at the 8\% level in this channel alone.

Gamma ray spectral features are of interest for indirect searches of dark matter (DM). Following Barger et al, we consider 3 simple scenarios of DM that annihilates into Standard Model (SM) fermion pairs. Scenario 1 is a Majorana DM candidate coupled to a charged scalar, scenario 2 is a Majorana DM coupled to a charged gauge boson and scenario 3 is a real scalar DM coupled a charged vector-like fermion. As shown by Barger et al, these 3 scenarios share precisely the same internal Bremsstrahlung spectral signature into gamma rays. Their phenomenology is however distinct. In particular for annihilation into light SM fermions, in the chiral limit, the 2-body annihilation cross section is p-wave suppressed for the Majorana candidates while it is d-wave suppressed for the real scalar. In the present work we study the annihilation into 2 gammas, showing that these three scenarios have distinct, and so potentially distinguishable, spectral signatures into gamma rays. In the case of the real scalar candidate we provide a new calculation of the amplitude for annihilation into 2 gammas.

We infer that the initial $B^+$ meson and the final $D^+ X_0(2900)$ are connected through $D_{s1}^+(2460) \bar{D}^{\ast 0} $ mesons by exchanging a $K^{\ast 0}$ meson. The contributions from such a meson loop to the process $B^+ \to D^+ X_0(2900)$ are evaluated and our estimations indicate that the measured branching fraction of $B^+\to D^+ X_0(2900)$ could be well reproduced in a reasonable model parameter range, which indicates that $X_0(2900)$ could be interpreted as a $\bar{D}^\ast K^\ast $ molecular state. In addition, the production processes $B^+ \to D^+ \tilde{X}_{1,2}$, $B^+ \to D^{\ast +} X_0(2900)$, and $B^+ \to D^{\ast +}\tilde{X}_{1,2}$ are investigated, and we find that the fit fraction of $\tilde{X}_1$ in the process $B^+ \to D^{\ast +} D^{\ast -} K^+$ is aobut $6\%$, which should be accessible experimentally.

We study the low transverse momentum (p_T) distribution of the Z-boson at hadron colliders for p_T ~ Lambda_{QCD} using a factorization and resummation formula derived in the Soft Collinear Effective Theory (SCET). In the region p_T ~ Lambda_{QCD}, new non-perturbative effects arise that cannot be entirely captured by the standard parton distribution functions, and require an additional new non-perturbative transverse momentum function (TMF). The TMF is field-theoretically defined in SCET, fully gauge invariant, and captures the non-perturbative dynamics that affects the p_T-distribution in the region p_T ~ Lambda_{QCD}. The TMF also reduces to the expected perturbative result in the region p_T >> Lambda_{QCD}. We develop phenomenological models for these TMFs in the non-perturbative region and present example fits to the available data.

Searches for supersymmetry (SUSY) often rely on a combination of hard physics objects (jets, leptons) along with large missing transverse energy to separate New Physics from Standard Model hard processes. We consider a class of ``double-invisible'' SUSY scenarios: where squarks, stops and sbottoms have a three-body decay into two (rather than one) invisible final-state particles. This occurs naturally when the LSP carries an additional conserved quantum number under which other superpartners are not charged. In these topologies, the available energy is diluted into invisible particles, reducing the observed missing energy and visible energy. This can lead to sizable changes in the sensitivity of existing searches, dramatically changing the qualitative constraints on superpartners. In particular, for m_LSP>160 GeV, we find no robust constraints from the LHC at any squark mass for any generation, while for lighter LSPs we find significant reductions in constraints. If confirmed by a full reanalysis from the collaborations, such scenarios allow for the possibility of significantly more natural SUSY models. While not realized in the MSSM, such phenomenology occurs naturally in models with mixed sneutrinos, Dirac gauginos and NMSSM-like models.

The dynamics of the gauge sector of QCD give rise to nonperturbative phenomena that are crucial for the internal consistency of the theory; most notably, they account for the generation of a gluon mass through the action of the Schwinger mechanism, the taming of the Landau pole and the ensuing stabilization of the gauge coupling, and the infrared suppression of the three-gluon vertex. In the present work, we review some key advances in the ongoing investigation of this sector within the framework of the continuum Schwinger function methods, supplemented by results obtained from lattice simulations.

The production of vector bosons in association with jets contains at least two unrelated scales. The first is the mass of the vector boson m_V and the second is the hard interaction scale giving rise to large transverse momenta of the produced jets. The production cross sections depend logarithmically on the ratio of these scales, which can lead to a poor convergence in fixed order perturbation theory. We illustrate how to resum all leading logarithmic terms using effective theory methods, and show that they can be resummed by a simple choice of the factorization scale. Implementing this scale choice we show that the large discrepancies between next-to-leading calculations and leading order calculations using more traditional choices of scales disappear.

Direct detection of light dark matter (DM), below the GeV scale, through electron recoil can be efficient if DM has a velocity well above the virial value of $v\sim 10^{-3}$. We point out that if there is a long range attractive force sourced by bulk ordinary matter, i.e. baryons or electrons, DM can be accelerated towards the Earth and reach velocities $v\sim 0.1$ near the Earth's surface. In this "attractive scenario," all DM will be boosted to high velocities by the time it reaches direct detection apparatuses in laboratories. Furthermore, the attractive force leads to an enhanced DM number density at the Earth facilitating DM detection even more. We elucidate the implications of this scenario for electron recoil direct detection experiments and find parameters that could lead to potential signals, while being consistent with stellar cooling and other bounds. Our scenario can potentially explain the recent excess in electron recoil signals reported by the XENON1T experiment in the $\sim$ keV energy regime as well as the hint for non-standard stellar cooling.

Our scenario can potentially explain the recent excess in electron recoil signals reported by the XENON1T experiment in the $\sim$ keV energy regime as well as the hint for non-standard stellar cooling.

Dressed Gluon Exponentiation is a well known method to study power corrections. We present here its eikonalized version -- Eikonal Dressed Gluon Exponentiation (EDGE) \cite{Agarwal:2020uxi} to determine the dominant power corrections to shape variables such as Thrust, $ C $- parameter, and Angularity. Our method remarkably simplifies the calculations.

The existence of an unparticle sector, weakly coupled to the standard model, would have a profound impact on supernova (SN) physics. Emission of energy into the unparticle sector from the core of SN1987A would have significantly shortened the observed neutrino burst. The unparticle interaction with nucleons, neutrinos, electrons and muons is constrained to be so weak that it is unlikely to provide any missing-energy signature at colliders. One important exception are models where scale invariance in the hidden sector is broken by the Higgs vacuum expectation value. In this case the SN emission is suppressed by threshold effects.

I consider the low energy limit of Little Higgs models. The method consists in eliminating the heavy fields using their classical equations of motion in the infinite mass limit. After the elimination of the heavy degrees of freedom one can directly read off deviations from the precision electroweak data. I also examine the effects on the low energy precision experiments.

We study the effects of heavy Majorana neutrinos on the Higgs sector of the MSSM via radiative corrections. We work within the SUSY context where the MSSM particle content is enlarged with right handed neutrinos and their corresponding SUSY partners, the sneutrinos, and where compatibility with neutrino data is required. We compute the one-loop corrections to the mass of the lightest MSSM CP-even neutral Higgs boson from Majorana neutrinos and their SUSY partners and assume a seesaw mechanism of type I for neutrino mass generation. A negative and sizeable Higgs mass correction of up to -5 GeV is found for a heavy Majorana mass of up to 10^{15} GeV. This negative correction can grow up to several tens of GeV if the soft SUSY breaking mass associated to their sneutrino partners is simmilarly heavy as the Majorana mass.

Light halo dark matter (DM) particles upscattered by high-energy cosmic rays (CRs) can be energetic, and become detectable by conventional direct detection experiments. The current constraints derived from space-based direct CR measurements can reach $\mathcal{O}(10^{-31})\text{ cm}^{2}$ for a constant DM-nucleon scattering cross section. We show that if the CR energy spectrum follows a power law of type $\sim E^{-3}$, the derived constraints on the scattering cross section will be highly insensitive to DM particle mass. This suggests that ultrahigh-energy CRs (UHECRs) indirectly measured by ground-based detectors can be used to place constraints on ultralight DM particles, as $E^{-3}$ is a very good approximation of the UHECR energy spectrum up to energy $\sim10^{20}\text{ eV}$. Using the recent UHECR flux data, we show that the current constraints derived from space-based CR measurements can in principle be extended to ultralight DM particles far below eV scale.

Fluctuations in nuclear collisions can be measured as a function of momentum-space binning scale over a scale interval bounded by detector two-track resolution and acceptance. Fluctuation scale dependence is related to two-particle correlations by a Fredholm integral equation. That equation can be inverted by standard numerical methods to yield an autocorrelation distribution on difference variables as a projection of the full two-particle distribution which retains most of the correlation information in a more compact form. Autocorrelation distributions are typically more easily interpreted in terms of physical mechanisms than fluctuation measurements.

We investigate the cosmological first-order chiral phase transition of QCD, and for the first time calculate its parameters which can fully determine the gravitational wave spectrum. With the state-of-the-art calculation from the functional QCD method, we found that the large chemical potential of QCD phase transition results in very weak and fast first-order phase transitions at the temperature lower than $\mathcal{O}(10^2)$ MeV. These results further suggest that the GW signals of NANOGrav are very unlikely sourced from the chiral phase transition of QCD.

QCD matter in strong magnetic field exhibits a rich phase structure. In the presence of an external magnetic field, the chiral Lagrangian for two flavors is accompanied by the Wess-Zumino-Witten (WZW) term containing an anomalous coupling of the neutral pion $\pi_0$ to the magnetic field via the chiral anomaly. Due to this term, the ground state is inhomogeneous in the form of either chiral soliton lattice (CSL), an array of solitons in the direction of magnetic field, or domain-wall Skyrmion (DWSk) phase in which Skyrmions supported by $\pi_3[{\rm SU}(2)] \simeq {\mathbb Z}$ appear inside the solitons as topological lumps supported by $\pi_2(S^2) \simeq {\mathbb Z}$ in the effective worldvolume theory of the soliton. In this paper, we determine the phase boundary between the CSL and DWSk phases beyond the single-soliton approximation, within the leading order of chiral perturbation theory. To this end, we explore a domain-wall Skyrmion chain in multiple soliton configurations. First, we construct the effective theory of the CSL by the moduli approximation, and obtain the ${\mathbb C}P^1$ model or O(3) model, gauged by a background electromagnetic gauge field, with two kinds of topological terms coming from the WZW term: one is the topological lump charge in 2+1 dimensional worldvolume and the other is a topological term counting the soliton number. Topological lumps in the 2+1 dimensional worldvolume theory are superconducting rings and their sizes are constrained by the flux quantization condition. The negative energy condition of the lumps yields the phase boundary between the CSL and DWSk phases. We find that a large region inside the CSL is occupied by the DWSk phase, and that the CSL remains metastable in the DWSk phase in the vicinity of the phase boundary.

The Regge exchange model used by Dzierba et al. is shown to be questionable, since the pion pole term is not allowed. Hence the Regge amplitudes in their calculation are exaggerated. The amount of kinematic reflection in the mass spectrum of the (nK+) system, which is one decay channel of a possible pentaquark, is not well justified in the fitting procedure used by Dzierba et al., as shown by comparison with the (K+K-) invariant mass spectrum, which is one decay channel of the a_2 and f_2 tensor mesons. While kinematic reflections are still a concern in some papers that have presented evidence for the pentaquark, better quantitative calculations are needed to demonstrate the significance of this effect.

We study the so-called extended linear sigma model for the case of four quark flavors. This model is based on global chiral symmetry and dilatation invariance and includes, besides scalar and pseudoscalar mesons, vector and axial-vector mesons. Most of the parameters of the model have been determined in previous work by fitting properties of mesons with three quark flavors. Only three new parameters, all related to the current charm quark mass, appear when introducing charmed mesons. Surprisingly, within the accuracy expected from our approach, the masses of open charmed mesons turn out to be in quantitative agreement with experimental data. On the other hand, with the exception of $J/\psi$, the masses of charmonia are underpredicted by about 10\%. It is remarkable that our approach correctly predicts (within errors) the mass splitting between spin-0 and spin-1 negative-parity open charm states. This indicates that, although the charm quark mass breaks chiral symmetry quite strongly explicitly, this symmetry still seems to have some influence on the properties of charmed mesons.

Recently there has been considerable interest in field theories and string theories with large extra spacetime dimensions. In this paper, we explore the role of such extra dimensions for cosmology, focusing on cosmological phase transitions in field theory and the Hagedorn transition and radius stabilization in string theory. In each case, we find that significant distinctions emerge from the usual case in which such large extra dimensions are absent. For example, for temperatures larger than the scale of the compactification radii, we show that the critical temperature above which symmetry restoration occurs is reduced relative to the usual four-dimensional case, and consequently cosmological phase transitions in extra dimensions are delayed. Furthermore, we argue that if phase transitions do occur at temperatures larger than the compactification scale, then they cannot be of first-order type. Extending our analysis to string theories with large internal dimensions, we focus on the Hagedorn transition and the new features that arise due to the presence of large internal dimensions. We also consider the role of thermal effects in establishing a potential for the radius of the compactified dimension, and we use this to propose a thermal mechanism for generating and stabilizing a large radius of compactification.

Coherently oscillating scalar condensates formed along flat directions of the MSSM scalar potential are unstable with respect to spatial perturbations if the potential is flatter than phi^2, resulting in the formation of non-topological solitons such as Q-balls. Using renormalization group we calculate the corrections to the phi^2 potential for a range of flat directions and show that unstable condensates are a generic feature of the MSSM. Exceptions arise for an experimentally testable range of stop and gluino masses when there are large admixtures of stops in the flat direction scalar.

Following updates in the compilation of $e^+e^-\rightarrow{\rm hadrons}$ data, this work presents re-evaluations of the hadronic vacuum polarisation contributions to the anomalous magnetic moment of the electron ($a_e$), muon ($a_\mu$) and tau lepton ($a_\tau$), to the ground-state hyperfine splitting of muonium and also updates the hadronic contributions to the running of the QED coupling at the mass scale of the $Z$ boson, $\alpha(M_Z^2)$. Combining the results for the hadronic vacuum polarisation contributions with recent updates for the hadronic light-by-light corrections, the electromagnetic and the weak contributions, the deviation between the measured value of $a_\mu$ and its Standard Model prediction amounts to $\Delta a_{\mu} = (28.02 \pm 7.37) \times 10^{-10}$, corresponding to a muon $g-2$ discrepancy of $3.8\sigma$.

We revisit the coalescence behavior of the atomic Schr\"odinger wave functions from the angle of operator product expansion (OPE) within the nonrelativistic Coulomb-Schr\"odinger effective field theory. We take the electron-nucleus coalescence as an explicit example to demonstrate our formalism, where the celebrated Kato's cusp condition can be easily reproduced. An exact OPE relation is rigorously proved to all orders in perturbation theory. Our approach can be readily extended to ascertain the multi-particle coalescence behaviors of atomic wave functions, as well as to take relativistic effects into account.

The LEP era has brought immense progress in searches for Higgs bosons over the last 12 years which will guide searches at future colliders. The evolution of the Higgs boson mass limits are reviewed with the focus on results from general parameter scans in the Minimal Supersymmetric extension of the Standard Model (MSSM) in contrast to the so-called benchmark limits. The hint for a Standard Model (SM) Higgs boson of 115.6 GeV can also be interpreted as a preference for a Higgs boson of that mass in the MSSM. Further small data excesses allow the hypothesis that the neutral Higgs bosons of the MSSM all have masses between 90 and 116 GeV.

The use of the differential gluon structure function of the proton ${\cal F}(x,Q^{2})$ introduced by Fadin, Kuraev and Lipatov in 1975 is called upon in many applications of small-x QCD. We report here the first determination of ${\cal F}(x,Q^{2})$ from the experimental data on the small-x proton structure function $F_{2p}(x,Q^{2})$. We give convenient parameterizations for ${\cal F}(x,Q^{2})$ based partly on the available DGLAP evolution fits (GRV, CTEQ & MRS) to parton distribution functions and on realistic extrapolations into soft region. We discuss an impact of soft gluons on various observables. The x-dependence of the so-determined ${\cal F}(x,Q^{2})$ varies strongly with Q^2 and does not exhibit simple Regge properties. None the less the hard-to-soft diffusion is found to give rise to a viable approximation of the proton structure function F_{2p}(x,Q^2) by the soft and hard Regge components with intercepts \Delta_{soft}=0 and \Delta_{hard}\sim 0.4.

We reconsider the chiral Lagrangian with three-flavor baryon fields. A systematic analysis of all LEC that contribute to the axial-vector and pseudoscalar currents in the baryon octet and decuplet fields at next-to-leading order is performed. While there are 4 LEC relevant at leading order, the number of relevant LEC at subleading chiral order is 23. For those a leading order large-$N_c$ analysis predicts 3 and 18 sum rules respectively. At the next accuracy level the number of sum rules is reduced to 2 and 8. Our results are illustrated by a tree-level analysis of available axial-vector coupling constants and strong decay widths of the baryon decuplet states.

We show that the diffractive forward production of two quarkonia, especially the $\chi_{cJ}$ and $\eta_c$ states, in proton-proton or proton-ion collisions can access the Weizs\"acker-Williams gluon Wigner distribution of the proton. We use the hybrid factorization approach where the collinear, double gluon PDF is applied for one of the protons and the $k_T$-dependent (Wigner or GTMD) distribution for the other. The production of quarkonia is treated in the NRQCD framework. A particularly concise formula is obtained for double $\chi_{J=1}$ production.

The thermal relic abundance of Dark Matter motivates the existence of new electroweak scale particles, independent of naturalness considerations. However, most unnatural Dark Matter models do not ensure the presence of new particles charged under SU(3)_C, resulting in challenging LHC phenomenology. Here, we present a class of models with scalar electroweak doublet Dark Matter that require a host of colored particles at the TeV scale. In these models, the Higgs boson is apparently fine-tuned, but the Dark Matter doublet is kept light without any additional fine-tuning.

Models with massive vector leptoquarks, resulting from an $SU(4)$ gauge symmetry spontaneously broken at the TeV scale, are of great phenomenological interest given the current "anomalies" in semileptonic $B$ decays. We analyze the relations between low- and high-energy observables in such class of models to next-to-leading order accuracy in the $SU(4)$ gauge coupling $g_4$. For large values of $g_4$, motivated by recent $B$-physics data, one-loop corrections are sizeable. The main effect is an enhanced contribution at low-energy, at fixed on-shell couplings. This result has important implications for current and future high-energy searches of vector leptoquark models.

We study the Kondo effect for a $\Sigma_{c}$ ($\Sigma_{c}^{\ast}$) baryon in nuclear matter. In terms of the spin and isospin ($\mathrm{SU}(2)_{\mathrm{spin}} \times \mathrm{SU}(2)_{\mathrm{isospin}}$) symmetry, the heavy-quark spin symmetry and the S-wave interaction, we provide the general form of the Lagrangian for a $\Sigma_{c}$ ($\Sigma_{c}^{\ast}$) baryon and a nucleon. We analyze the renormalization equation at the one-loop level, and find that the coexistence of spin exchange and isospin exchange magnifies the Kondo effect in comparison with the case where the spin-exchange interaction and the isospin-exchange interaction exist separately. We demonstrate that the solution exists for the ideal sets of the coupling constants, including the $\mathrm{SU}(4)$ symmetry as an extension of the $\mathrm{SU}(2)_{\mathrm{spin}} \times \mathrm{SU}(2)_{\mathrm{isospin}}$ symmetry. We also conduct a similar analysis for the Kondo effect of a $\bar{D}$ ($\bar{D}^{\ast}$) meson in nuclear matter. On the basis of the obtained result, we conjecture that there could exist a "mapping" from the heavy meson (baryon) in vacuum onto the heavy baryon (meson) in nuclear matter.

Inspired by the newly observed $\Xi_c^0$ states by the LHCb Collaboration, we investigate the OZI-allowed two-body strong decays of the $\lambda$-mode $1P$ wave $\Xi'_c$ states within the chiral quark model. Our results indicate that: (i) the newly observed states $\Xi_c(2923)^0$ and $\Xi_c(2939)^0$ are good candidates of the $\lambda$-mode $1P$ wave $\Xi'_c$ states with the spin-parity $J^P=3/2^-$, namely $|^4P_{\lambda}3/2^-\rangle$ and $|^2P_{\lambda}3/2^-\rangle$, respectively. (ii) The another newly observed state $\Xi_c(2965)^0$ mostly corresponds to the $\lambda$-mode $1P$-wave $\Xi'_c$ state with the spin-parity $J^P=5/2^-$, namely $|^4P_{\lambda}5/2^-\rangle$. (iii) For the two $\lambda$-mode $J^P=1/2^-$ mixed states, the $|P_{\lambda}~1/2^-\rangle_1$ is a narrow state with a width of $\Gamma\sim15$ MeV and mainly decays into $\Xi'_c\pi$; while the $|P_{\lambda}~1/2^-\rangle_2$ state has a width of $\Gamma\sim52$ MeV and dominantly decays into $\Xi_c\pi$ and $\Lambda_cK$ channels. If the broad structure around $2880$ MeV observed at LHCb arises from the new $\Xi^0_c$ state, this state is very likely to be the $|P_{\lambda}~1/2^-\rangle_2$ state.

Precise measurements of electron and positron scattering, including parity violation, offer great promise in the search for physics beyond the Standard Model. In this context it is crucial to understand the corrections which might arise from charge symmetry violation, as well as the less well known strange and charm quark distributions. Our analysis, using state of the art parton distributions, suggests that these contributions lead to corrections in the extraction of the weak couplings $g^{eq}_{AV}$ and $g^{eq}_{VA}$ of the order $(1-2)\%$, while they are as large as $4\%$ for $g^{eq}_{AA}$, at a typical scale of $Q^2 = 10\ {\rm GeV}^2$. These results underline the importance of carrying out high precision measurements, which will not only provide information on physics beyond the Standard Model but also reduce the current uncertainties on our knowledge of the strange and charm quark distributions in the proton.

This report summarizes the findings of the CF1 Topical Subgroup to Snowmass 2021, which was focused on particle dark matter. One of the most important scientific goals of the next decade is to reveal the nature of dark matter (DM). To accomplish this goal, we must delve deep, to cover high priority targets including weakly-interacting massive particles (WIMPs), and search wide, to explore as much motivated DM parameter space as possible. A diverse, continuous portfolio of experiments at large, medium, and small scales that includes both direct and indirect detection techniques maximizes the probability of discovering particle DM. Detailed calibrations and modeling of signal and background processes are required to make a convincing discovery. In the event that a candidate particle is found through different means, for example at a particle collider, the program described in this report is also essential to show that it is consistent with the actual cosmological DM. The US has a leading role in both direct and indirect detection dark matter experiments -- to maintain this leading role, it is imperative to continue funding major experiments and support a robust R\&D program.

The behavior of pions is studied in systems where their normal leptonic decay is forbidden. When thermal fluctuations are present, a low decay rate is generated, and as a consequence of lepton recombination, the amount of pions remains almost unaltered. Compact stars conditions are favorable for the formation of such intermediate state of charged pions: near condensation and almost stable, leading to a continuum source of anti-neutrinos. In particular, protoneutron stars could be an scenario where this state of matter is relevant.

When the strong CP problem is solved by spontaneous breaking of an anomalous global symmetry in theories with gauge-mediated supersymmetry breaking, the pseudo Goldstone fermion (the axino) is a good candidate of a light sterile neutrino. Its mixing with neutrinos relevant for current neutrino experiments can arise in the presence of R-parity violation. The realistic four neutrino mass matrix is obtained when the see-saw mechanism is brought in, and an ansatz for the right-handed neutrino mass is constructed.

We consider Non-Standard neutrino Interactions (NSI) connecting two neutrinos with two first-generation fermions ($e, u$ or $d$), which we assume to arise at at dimension eight due to New Physics. The coefficient is normalised as $4 \epsilon G_F/\sqrt{2}$. We explore signatures of NSI-on-electrons at LEP2, and of NSI-on-quarks at the LHC, treating the NSI as contact interactions at both energies. In models where the coefficients of dangerous dimension six operators are suppressed by cancellations, LEP2 provides interesting bounds on NSI operators ($\epsilon \lsim 10^{-2} - 10^{-3}$), which arise because $\sqrt{s} \sim 200$ GeV, and the cancellation applied at zero momentum transfer. At the LHC, we use the Equivalence Theorem, which relates the longitudinal $W$ to the Higgs, to estimate the rate for $\bar{q} q W^+W^- e_\alpha^+ e_\beta^-$ induced by NSI. We find that the cross-section is small, but that the outgoing particles have very high $p_T > 400$ GeV, which reduces the issue of backgrounds. In a conservative scenario, we find that the LHC at 14 TeV and with 100 fb$^{-1}$ of data would have a sensitivity to $\epsilon \gsim 3 \times 10^{-3}$.

We analyze the impact of the recently released CDF-II measurement of $W$ mass on the SMEFT analyses of the electroweak precision data as well as Higgs and electroweak diboson productions. We work in the Hagiwara, Ishihara, Szalapski, and Zeppenfeld basis in which eight generation-independent operators enter in the electroweak precision data at tree level and, unlike in the Warsaw basis, the analysis of that set of data constrains all the eight Wilson coefficients, without the need of combination with Higgs or electroweak diboson data results. We show that in the global analysis the determination of the coefficients of all operators which do not enter the electroweak precision data are barely affected by the new $M_W$ determination.

Very recently, the LHCb collaboration released the newest measurements of $B_s \to J/\psi p\bar{p}$, where an enhancement structure near 4.34 GeV was observed in the invariant mass spectrum of $J/\psi p$ with the statistical significance of $3.1-3.7$ $\sigma$. In this work, by performing a combined analysis for the three invariant mass spectra of $B_s \to J/\psi p\bar{p}$, we find that this $J/\psi p$ structure near 4.34 GeV can correspond to the contributions from the $P_c(4380)^+$ state with the assumption of $J^{P}=3/2^{-}$ together with the reflections of $B_s \to (f_2^{*} \to p\bar{p})J/\psi$. Here, $P_c(4380)$ was first observed in $\Lambda_b \to J/\psi p K$ but not confirmed in the updated LHCb data in 2019, and $f_2^{*}$ means the exciting light isoscalar tensor meson around 2.0 GeV. Thus, this provides a possible evidence to support the existence of the pentaquark $P_c(4380)$. Specifically, the assumed spin parity $J^{P}=3/2^{-}$ of $P_c(4380)$ is consistent with a prediction of the theoretical explanation of an $S$-wave $\bar{D}\Sigma_c^*$ molecular bound state.

We point out a problem of the phenomenological definition of the valence partons as the difference between the partons and antipartons in the context of the NNLO evolution equations. After demonstrating that the classification of the parton degrees of freedom (PDF) of the parton distribution functions (PDFs) are the same in the QCD path-intergral formulations of the hadronic tensor and the quasi-PDF with LaMET, we resolve the problem by showing that the proper definition of the valence should be in terms of those in the connected insertions only. We also prove that the strange partons appear as the disconnected sea in the nucleon.

Higgs boson production by the gluon fusion and its decay into two photons at the LHC are investigated in the context of the gauge-Higgs unification scenario. The qualitative behaviors for these processes in the scenario are quite distinguishable from those of the Standard Model and the universal extra dimension scenario because of the overall sign difference for the effective couplings induced by one-loop corrections through Kaluza-Klein modes.

An alternative pattern of the chiral symmetry breaking, suggested recently by Stern, is investigated. It could be self-consistent provided that the chiral $SU(N_f) \times SU(N_f)$ symmetry is broken spontaneously down to $SU(N_f) \times Z_{N_f}$ rather than to $SU(N_f)_V$. The discrete axial $Z_{N_f}$ then would play a custodial role preventing the quark bilinears from condensation. It is shown that this pattern of the chiral symmetry breaking is ruled out in QCD by exact inequalities. It is not ruled out, however, in other gauge theories with scalar quarks and/or Yukawa couplings.

The similarity of the observed mass densities of baryons and cold dark matter may be a sign they have a related origin. The baryon-to-dark matter ratio can be understood in the MSSM with right-handed (RH) neutrinos if CDM is due to a d = 4 flat direction condensate of very weakly coupled RH sneutrino LSPs and the baryon asymmetry is generated by Affleck-Dine leptogenesis along a d = 4 (H_{u}L)^2 flat direction. Observable signatures of the model include CDM and baryon isocurvature perturbations and distinctive long-lived NLSP phenomenology.

Recent measurements of cosmological parameters from the microwave background radiation, type Ia supernovae, and the age of globular clusters help determine the relic matter density in the universe. It is first shown with mild cosmological assumptions that the relic matter density satisfies $\Omega_M h^2 < 0.6$ independent of the cosmological constant and independent of the SNIa data. Including the SNIa data, the constraint becomes $\Omega_M h^2 < 0.35$. This result is then applied to supersymmetric models motivated by generic features in supergravity mediated supersymmetry breaking. The result is an upper bound on gaugino masses within reach of the LHC and a 1.5 TeV lepton collider. Thus, cosmological considerations are beginning to limit the supersymmetric mass spectra in the experimentally verifiable range without recourse to finetuning arguments, and without assuming a zero cosmological constant.

Deepening our knowledge of the partonic content of nucleons and nuclei represents a central endeavour of modern high-energy and nuclear physics, with ramifications in related disciplines such as astroparticle physics. There are two main scientific drivers motivating these investigations of the partonic structure of hadrons. On the one hand, addressing fundamental open issues in our understanding in the strong interactions such as the origin of the nucleon mass, spin, and transverse structure; the presence of heavy quarks in the nucleon wave function; and the possible onset of novel gluon-dominated dynamical regimes. On the other hand, pinning down with the highest possible precision the substructure of nucleons and nuclei is a central component for theoretical predictions in a wide range of experiments, from proton and heavy ion collisions at the Large Hadron Collider to ultra-high energy neutrino interactions at neutrino telescopes. This Article presents a succinct non-technical overview of our modern understanding of the quark, gluon, and photon substructure of nucleons and nuclei, focusing on recent trends and results and discussing future perspectives for the field.

We discuss the sensitivities of present-day electroweak precision data to the possible scale of supersymmetry within the constrained minimal supersymmetric extension of the Standard Model (CMSSM). Our analysis is based on M_W, sin^2 theta_eff, (g-2)_mu, BR(b -> s gamma), and the lightest MSSM Higgs boson mass, M_h. We display the impact of the recent reduction in m_t from 178.0 +- 4.3 GeV to 172.7 +- 2.9 GeV on the interpretation of the precision observables. We show the currently preferred values of the CMSSM mass scale m_{1/2} based on a global chi^2 fit, assuming that the lightest supersymmetric particle (LSP) is a neutralino, and fixing m_0 so as to obtain the cold dark matter density allowed by WMAP and other cosmological data for specific values of A_0, tan beta and mu > 0. The recent reduction in m_t reinforces previous indications for relatively light soft supersymmetry-breaking masses, offering good prospects for the LHC and the ILC, and in some cases also for the Tevatron. Finally, we discuss the sensitivity of the global chi^2 function to possible future evolution in the experimental central value of m_t and its error.
