We derive number of relations between quadrupole energy, elastic pressure, and shear force distributions in baryons using the large $N_c$ picture of baryons as chiral solitons. The obtained large $N_c$ relations are independent of particular dynamics and should hold in any picture in which the baryon is the chiral soliton. One of remarkable qualitative predictions of the soliton picture is the nullification of the tangential forces acting on the radial area element for any tensor polarisation of the baryon. The derived relations provide a powerful tool to check the hypothesis that the baryons are chiral solitons, say using lattice QCD.

There is a strong possibility that the particles making up the dark matter in the Universe have a mass below 1 eV and in many important situations exhibit a wave-like behavior. Amongst the candidates the axion stands out as particularly well motivated but other possibilities such as axion-like particles, light scalars and light vectors, should be seriously investigated with both experiments and theory. Discovery of any of these dark matter particles would be revolutionary. The wave-like nature opens special opportunities to gain precise information on the particle properties a well as astrophysical information on dark matter shortly after a first detection. To achieve these goals requires continued strong support for the next generations of axion experiments to probe significant axion parameter space this decade and to realize the vision of a definitive axion search program in the next 20 years. This needs to be complemented by strong and flexible support for a broad range of smaller experiments, sensitive to the full variety of wave-like dark matter candidates. These have their own discovery potential but can also be the test bed for future larger scale searches. Strong technological support not only allows for the optimal realization of the current and near future experiments but new technologies such as quantum measurement and control can also provide the next evolutionary jump enabling a broader and deeper sensitivity. Finally, a theory effort ranging from fundamental model building over investigating phenomenological constraints to the conception of new experimental techniques is a cornerstone of the current rapid developments in the search for wave-like dark matter and should be strengthened to have a solid foundation for the future.

We consider relatively heavy neutrinos $\nu_H$, mostly contributing to a sterile state $\nu_s$, with mass in the range 10 MeV $\lesssim m_s \lesssim m_{\pi} \sim 135$ MeV, which are thermally produced in the early universe in collisional processes involving active neutrinos, and freezing out after the QCD phase transition. If these neutrinos decay after the active neutrino decoupling, they generate extra neutrino radiation, but also contribute to entropy production. Thus, they alter the value of the effective number of neutrino species $N_{\rm eff}$ as for instance measured by the cosmic microwave background (CMB), as well as affect primordial nucleosynthesis (BBN), notably ${}^4$He production. We provide a detailed account of the solution of the relevant Boltzmann equations. We also identify the parameter space allowed by current Planck satellite data and forecast the parameter space probed by future Stage-4 ground-based CMB observations, expected to match or surpass BBN sensitivity.

We investigate radial excitation of the quark-antiquark pair in the $\pi^0$ meson and its effects on the $\gamma \gamma^* \rightarrow \pi^0$ transition form factor in the framework of light-cone perturbative QCD. The existing constraints on the light-cone wave function of the lowest Fock state $|q { \bar q} \rangle$ in the $\pi^0$ meson allow a sizeable radial excitation of the quark-antiquark pair. We construct the light-cone wave function for the quark-antiquark pair in the first radially excited state (the 2S state) using a simple harmonic oscillator potential. The distribution amplitude obtained for the 2S state has two nodes in $x$ at low scale of $Q$ and thereby has a much strong scale dependence than the 1S state. Contributions from this radial excitation to the $\gamma \gamma^* \rightarrow \pi^0$ transition form factor exhibit different $Q^2$-dependence behavior from the ground state and thus can modify the prediction for the transition form factor in the medium-large region of $Q^2$.

We carry out a systematic flavor SU(3) analysis of D-meson decays including the leading order symmetry breaking effects. We find that SU(3) breaking can easily account for the recent LHCb measurement of the difference in CP asymmetries in the decays of $D^0$ into $K^+K^-$ and $\pi^+\pi^-$ mesons, once an enhancement mechanism, similar to the $\Delta=1/2$ rule in neutral kaon decays is assumed. As a byproduct of the analysis, one can make predictions regarding the individual asymmetries in $K^+K^-$, $\pi^+\pi^-$, as well as the $D^0 \to \pi^0\pi^0$ decay channels. Moreover, we find that the asymmetry in the decay $D^+\to \pi^+\pi^0$ vanishes in the leading approximation.

We investigate the relic abundance of dark matter in the minimal universal extra dimension model including resonance processes by second Kaluza-Klein (KK) particles in all coannihilation processes. After including second KK resonance processes, the relic abundance of dark matter is reduced by about 30%. Thus, the compactification scale 1/R of the extra dimension consistent with the WMAP observation is increased by a few hundred GeV. As a result, the cosmologically allowed compactification scale is 600 GeV < 1/R < 1400 GeV for Lambda R = 20.

We show that in supersymmetric models with a gauged flavor symmetry explaining the hierarchy of fermion masses and mixings, the electron, muon, neutron and the deuteron acquire sizable electric dipole moments (EDM) through loop diagrams involving the flavor gaugino/gauge boson near the Planck scale. These EDMs are proportional to the phases in the fermion Yukawa couplings and are typically much larger than the neutrino seesaw induced EDM for the leptons. In a popular class of models based on anomalous U(1) flavor symmetry of string origin, we find d_e ~ (10^{-26}-10^{-27}) e cm, d_\mu ~ (10^{-24}-10^{-26}) e cm, d_n ~ 10^{-27} e cm, and d_D ~ (10^{-26}-10^{-27}) e cm, which are within reach of next generation experiments.

Using the non-relativisitc reduction of Coulomb gauge QCD we compute spectrum of the low mass hybrid mesons containing a heavy quark-antiquark pair. The gluon degrees of freedom are treated in the mean field approximation calibrated to the gluelump spectrum. We discuss the role of the non-abelian nature of the QCD Coulomb interaction in the ordering of the spin-parity levels.

We reproduce the DIS measurements of the proton structure function at high energy from the dipole model in momentum space. To model the dipole-proton forward scattering amplitude, we use the knowledge of asymptotic solutions of the Balitsky-Kovchegov equation, describing high-energy QCD in the presence of saturation effects. We compare our results with the previous analysis in coordinate space and discuss possible extensions of our approach.

We study the consequences of assuming that the mass scale $\Delta_{odot}$ corresponding to the solar neutrino oscillations and mixing angle $U_{e3}$ corresponding to the electron neutrino oscillation at CHOOZ are radiatively generated through the standard electroweak gauge interactions. All the leptonic mass matrices having zero $\Delta_{odot}$ and $U_{e3}$ at a high scale lead to a unique low energy value for the $\Delta_{odot}$ which is determined by the (known) size of the radiative corrections, solar and the atmospheric mixing angle and the Majorana mass of the neutrino observed in neutrinoless double beta decay. This prediction leads to the following consequences: ($i$) The MSSM radiative corrections generate only the dark side of the solar neutrino solutions. ($ii$) The inverted mass hierarchy ($m,-m,0$) at the high scale fails in generating the LMA solution but it can lead to the LOW or vacuum solutions. ($iii$) The $\Delta_{odot}$ generated in models with maximal solar mixing at a high scale is zero to the lowest order in the radiative parameter. It tends to get suppressed as a result of this and lies in the vacuum region. We discuss specific textures which can lead to the LMA solution in the present framework and provide a gauge theoretical realization of this in the context of the seesaw model.

Models of spontaneous breaking of electroweak symmetry by a strong interaction do not have fine tuning/hierarchy problem. They are conceptually elegant and use the only mechanism of spontaneous breaking of a gauge symmetry that is known to occur in nature. The simplest model, minimal technicolor with extended technicolor interactions, is appealing because one can calculate by scaling up from QCD. But it is ruled out on many counts: inappropriately low quark and lepton masses (or excessive FCNC), bad electroweak data fits, light scalar and vector states, etc. However, nature may not choose the minimal model and then we are stuck: except possibly through lattice simulations, we are unable to compute and test the models. In the LHC era it therefore makes sense to abandon specific models (of strong EW breaking) and concentrate on generic features that may indicate discovery. The Technicolor Straw Man is not a model but a parametrized search strategy inspired by a remarkable generic feature of walking technicolor, that technivector mesons are light, narrow and decay readily into electroweak vector mesons and photons. While walking technicolor is popular among practitioners, alternatives exist and the Straw Man may not lead to their discovery.

We review techniques simplifying the analytic calculation of one-loop QCD amplitudes with many external legs, for use in next-to-leading-order corrections to multi-jet processes. Particularly useful are the constraints imposed by perturbative unitarity, collinear singularities and a supersymmetry-inspired organization of helicity amplitudes. Certain sequences of one-loop helicity amplitudes with an arbitrary number of external gluons have been obtained using these constraints.

We explore the inelastic production of multiple longitudinal weak bosons as a manifestation of a strongly interacting symmetry breaking sector. By analogy with QCD, final states with large multiplicities are expected to occur not far above the energy scale of the lowest resonances of the underlying strong theory. We consider the feasibility of observing such phenomena in the environment of a very high energy hadron collider.

We employ the functional renormalization group approach formulated on the Schwinger-Keldysh contour to calculate real-time correlation functions in scalar field theories. We provide a detailed description of the formalism, discuss suitable truncation schemes for real-time calculations as well as the numerical procedure to self-consistently solve the flow equations for the spectral function. Subsequently, we discuss the relations to other perturbative and non-perturbative approaches to calculate spectral functions, and present a detailed comparison and benchmark in $d=0+1$ dimensions.

I review recent progress in the NNPDF global analyses of parton distributions (PDFs) focusing on developments contributing to its new upcoming release: NNPDF4.0. The NNPDF4.0 determination represents unprecedented progress in three main directions: i) the systematic inclusion of LHC Run II data at 13 TeV and of new processes from dijets to single top distributions, ii) the deployment of state-of-the-art machine learning algorithms, from automated hyperparameter optimisation to stochastic gradient descent training; and iii) the complete statistical validation of PDF uncertainties, both in the data and extrapolation regions, by means of closure and future tests. Other methodological improvements in NNPDF4.0 include strict PDF positivity, integrability constraints at small-$x$, and deuteron and heavy nuclear corrections. I present representative results from NNPDF4.0 and assess its impact on open issues such as the light anti-quark asymmetry and the charm content of protons.

We briefly review flavour violation in the lepton sector: starting from neutrino oscillations and their implications, we consider several charged lepton flavour violating observables at high and low energies. We present new physics models and discuss the r\^ole of the latter in disentangling them. In particular, we show how the interplay of different observables allows to derive important information on the underlying mechanism of lepton flavour violation. As an example, we discuss the impact of a type-I SUSY seesaw concerning lepton flavour violation at low energies and at colliders (LHC and a future Linear Collider).

In this study, we present our latest findings regarding azimuthal distributions in vector boson + jets and multi-jet production at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). These findings result from matching next-to-leading order (NLO) perturbative matrix elements with transverse momentum dependent (TMD) parton branching. We conduct a comprehensive comparative analysis of azimuthal correlations between Z boson-jet and jet-jet systems in the back-to-back region. These distinct azimuthal correlation patterns can help identify potential factorization-breaking effects in this region. Such effects depend on the different color and spin structures of the final states and their interactions with the initial states.

Deviations from the standard model prediction have been observed in several leptonic and semileptonic $B$ meson decays to $\tau\nu$ final states mediated via $b \to u$ and $b \to c$ charged current interactions. The measured value of ratio of branching ratios $R_{\pi}^l$ of $B^- \to \tau^-\,\nu_{\tau}$ to $B^0 \to \pi^+\,\l^-\,\nu$ decays, where $l = (e,\,\mu)$, is larger than the standard model prediction by more than a factor of two. Similarly, a combined excess of $3.9\sigma$ from the standard model expectation has been reported by HFAG for the values of $R_D$ and $R_{D^{\ast}}$, where $R_{D,\,D^{\ast}}$ represents the ratio of branching ratios of $B \to (D,\,D^{\ast})\,\tau\nu$ to corresponding $B \to (D,\,D^{\ast})\,l\nu$ decays, respectively. Very recently, hint of lepton flavor violation has been observed in the ratio of branching fractions of $B \to K\,e^+\,e^-$ to $B \to K\,\mu^+\,\mu^-$ decays as well. In this context, we employ an effective Lagrangian approach to study the decay branching fractions and the ratio of branching fractions of $\Lambda_b \to \Lambda_c\,l\,\nu$ and $\Lambda_b \to p\,l\,\nu$ decays within the standard model and beyond. We constrain the new physics parameter space using the existing experimental data on $R_D$, $R_{D^{\ast}}$, and $R_{\pi}^l$.

We investigated a general framework of the Standard Model with two Higgs doublets (2HDSM) with suppressed flavor-changing neutral currents (FCNC's). Loop-induced FCNC (and CP-violating) effects, when confronted with experimental constraints for the $K$-$\bar K$, $B$-$\bar B$ and $D$-$\bar D$ mixing and for the $(b \to s \gamma)$ decay, provide us with constraints on the values of the dominant Yukawa couplings of the charged Higgs, i.e., the values of the couplings of $H^{\pm}$ to $t$ and $b$ quarks. Once these {\it low} energy experimental data relevant for the mixings and for the mentioned decay, as well as the theoretical uncertainties for the hadronic matrix elements, are sufficiently reduced, such analyses may be able to rule out the minimal SM and even certain special types of the 2HDSM's (e.g., the popular ``type II'', and ``type I'' 2HDSM). In such a case, a more general 2HDSM framework discussed here could still survive as a viable framework. Eventual detection of the charged Higgs in high energy experiments and the measurement of its mass would represent important information that would additonally help to rule out or to favor the various specific 2HDSM scenarios that are contained in the discussed 2HDSM framework.

In the framework of a newly developed factorization formalism which is based on NRQCD, explicit cancellations are shown for the infrared divergences that appeared in the previously calculated hadronic annihilation decay rates of P-wave and D-wave heavy quarkonia. We extend them to a more general case that to leading order in $v^2$ and next-to-leading order in $\alpha_s$, the infrared divergences in the annihilation amplitudes of color-singlet $Q\bar{Q}(^{2S+1}L_J)$ pair can be removed by including the contributions of color-octet operators $Q\bar{Q}(^{2S+1}(L-1)_{J'})$, $Q\bar{Q}(^{2S+1}(L-3)_{J''})$, ... in NRQCD. We also give the decay widths of $^3D_J\rightarrow LH$ at leading order in $\alpha_s$.

The pion form factors of the QCD energy-momentum tensor (EMT) are studied in the instanton liquid model (ILM) of the QCD vacuum. In this approach the breaking of conformal symmetry is encoded in the form of stronger-than-Poisson fluctuations in the number of instantons. For the trace of the EMT, it is shown that the gluonic trace anomaly term contributes half the pion mass, with the other half coming from the quark-mass-dependent sigma term. The $Q^2$ dependence of the form factors is governed by glueball and scalar meson exchanges. For the traceless EMT, the spin-0 and 2 form factors are computed at next-to-leading order in the instanton density using effective quark operators. Relations between the gluon and quark contributions to the EMT form factors are derived. The form factors are also expressed in terms of the pion light-front wave functions in the ILM. The results at the low resolution scale of the inverse instanton size are evolved to higher scales using the renormalization group equation. The ILM results compare well with those of recent lattice QCD calculations.

Thermal and matter effects are reviewed in the context of a two-neutrino formalism, with methods of extension to multiple neutrinos. The observed large neutrino mixing angles place the strongest constraint on cosmological lepton (or neutrino) asymmetries, while new sterile neutrinos provide a wealth of possible new physics, including lepton asymmetry generation as well as candidates for dark matter. I also review cosmic microwave background and large-scale structure constraints on neutrino mass and energy density. Lastly, I review how X-ray astronomy has become a branch of neutrino physics in searches for keV-scale sterile neutrino dark matter radiative decay.

The meson (pion and kaon) form factor is calculated in the perturbative framework with alternative forms for the running coupling constant and the gluon propagator in the infrared kinematic region. These modified forms are employed to test the sensibility of the meson form factor to the nonperturbative contributions. Its is a powerful discriminating quantity and the results obtained with a particular choice of modified running coupling constant and gluon propagator have a good agreement with the available data, for both mesons, indicating the robustness of the method of calculation. Nevertheless, nonperturbative aspects may be included in the perturbative framework of calculation of exclusive processes.

Its is a powerful discriminating quantity and the results obtained with a particular choice of modified running coupling constant and gluon propagator have a good agreement with the available data, for both mesons, indicating the robustness of the method of calculation. Nevertheless, nonperturbative aspects may be included in the perturbative framework of calculation of exclusive processes.

We study the scale-invariant $O(g^4)$ kernel which appears as an infra-red contribution in the BFKL evolution equation and is constructed via multiparticle $t$-channel unitarity. We detail the variety of Ward identity constraints and infra-red cancellations that characterize its infrared behaviour. We give an analytic form for the full non-forward kernel. For the forward kernel controlling parton evolution at small-x, we give an impact parameter representation, derive the eigenvalue spectrum, and demonstrate a holomorphic factorisation property related to conformal invariance. The results show that, at next-to-leading-order, the transverse momentum infra-red region may produce a strong reduction of the BFKL small-x behavior.

We analyze the relation between evolution equations at low x that have been derived in different approaches in the last several years. We show that the equation derived by Balitsky and Kovchegov is obtained from the Jalilian-Marian-Kovner-Leonidov-Weigert (JKLW) equation in the limit of small induced charge density. We argue that the higher nonlinearities resummed by the JKLW equation correspond, in physical terms, to the breakdown of the eikonal approximation when the gluon fields in the target are large.

We calculate the Drell-Yan production cross sections and differential distributions in the transverse momentum and rapidity of the $J^{PC}=1^{--}$ exotic hadrons $\phi(2170)$, X(4260) and $Y_b(10890)$ at the hadron colliders LHC and the Tevatron. These hadrons are tetraquark (four-quark) candidates, with a hidden $s\bar{s}$, $c\bar{c}$ and $b\bar{b}$ quark pair, respectively. In deriving the distributions and cross sections, we include the order $\alpha_s$ QCD corrections, resum the large logarithms in the small transverse momentum region in the impact-parameter formalism, and use the state of the art parton distribution functions. Taking into account the data on the production and decays of these vector hadrons from the $e^+e^-$ experiments, we present the production rates for the processes $pp(\bar{p}) \to \phi(2170)(\to \phi(1020) \pi^+\pi^- \to K^+K^- \pi^+\pi^-)+...$, $pp(\bar{p}) \to X(4260)(\to J/\psi \pi^+\pi^- \to \mu^+\mu^-\pi^+\pi^-)+...$, and $pp(\bar{p}) \to Y_b(10890)(\to (\Upsilon(1S), \Upsilon(2S), \Upsilon(3S)) \pi^+\pi^- \to \mu^+\mu^-\pi^+\pi^-)+...$.

The hypothesis about the relation between the observed alignment of spots in the x-ray film in cosmic ray emulsion experiments and the features of events in which jets prevail at super high energies is tested. Due to strong dynamical correlation between jet axis directions and that between momenta of jet particles (almost collinearity), the evaluated degree of alignment is considerably larger than that for randomly selected chaoticly located spots in the x-ray film. It appears comparable with experimental data provided that the height of primary interaction, the collision energy and the total energy of selected clusters meet certain conditions. The Monte Carlo generator PYTHIA, which basically well describes jet events in hadron-hadron interactions, was used for the analysis.

We systematically investigate new physics scenarios that can modify the interactions between neutrinos and matter at upcoming tau neutrino telescopes, which will test neutrino-proton collisions with energies $ \gtrsim 45~{\rm TeV}$, and can provide unique insights to the elusive tau neutrino. At such high energy scales, the impact of parton distribution functions of second and third generations of quarks (usually suppressed) can be comparable to the contribution of first generation with small momentum fraction, hence making tau neutrino telescopes an excellent facility to probe new physics associated with second and third families. Among an inclusive set of particle physics models, we identify new physics scenarios at tree level that can give competitive contributions to the neutrino cross sections while staying within laboratory constraints: charged/neutral Higgs and leptoquarks. Our analysis is close to the actual experimental configurations of the telescopes, and we perform a $\chi^2$-analysis on the energy and angular distributions of the tau events. By numerically solving the propagation equations of neutrino and tau fluxes in matter, we obtain the sensitivities of representative upcoming tau neutrino telescopes, GRAND, POEMMA and Trinity, to the charged Higgs and leptoquark models. While each of the experiments can achieve a sensitivity better than the current collider reaches for certain models, their combination is remarkably complementary in probing the new physics. In particular, the new physics will affect the energy and angular distributions in different ways at those telescopes.

This contribution about amplitude analyses in multibody hadronic charm decays deals with some attempts to introduce theoretical constraints. Different effective hadronic formalism approaches are mentioned. A recent work, based on a basic weak interaction process and a Chiral unitary model to account for the final state interaction, is described in details for the $f_0(980)$ production in $D_s^+ \to \pi^+ \pi^+ \pi^-$ and $D_s^+ \to \pi^+ K^+ K^- $ decays. Within the framework of the diagrammatic approach and flavor symmetry, a global analysis of two-body $D$ decays into a vector meson and a pseudoscalar meson is presented. A quasi-two-body QCD factorization model for $D$ decays into three mesons and its recent application to $D^0 \to K_S^0 \pi^+ \pi^-$ is outlined. For processes with final-state pions and kaons and as an alternative to the sum of Breit-Wigner amplitudes, often used in experimental Dalitz-plot analyses, amplitude parametrizations, in term of unitary $\pi \pi$, $\pi K$ and $K \bar K$ form factors, are proposed. These parametrizations are derived from quasi-two-body factorization models.

Double parton scattering (DPS) has become very relevant as a background to interesting analyses performed by the experiments at the LHC. It encodes knowledge of correlations between the proton constituents not accessible in single parton scattering. Within perturbative QCD DPS is described in terms of partonic subprocesses and double parton distributions (DPDs). There exists a large number of different DPDs describing the different possible states of two partons inside a proton. They include correlations between the two partons and interferences between the two hard subprocesses. Taking the probability interpretation of the DPDs as starting point, we derive limits on the interference DPDs and thereby constrain the size of correlations between two partons inside an unpolarized proton.

We show that this class of models is much more in good agreement with observations compared to the standard inflation. We also find the range of the five-dimensional Planck scale ($M_5$) and show that large tensor-to-scalar ratios do not eliminate small-field inflation in braneworld cosmology.

Nonlinear Compton scattering is calculated for the collision of an electron with a plane wave pulse. A mid infra-red (IR) peak arises in the photon spectrum due to long-range interference associated with the pulse envelope. The case of a flat-top pulse is studied as a toy model for pulse envelope effects and reduced to two final-state momentum integrations; the case of a sine-squared pulse is studied numerically. A perturbative expansion in charge-field coupling reveals that already at intermediate intensities, many orders are required to correctly capture the structure of the mid-IR peak. By regularising the classical result, it is shown that the mid-IR peak is due to plane-wave ponderomotive effects on the pulse envelope. Finally, it is shown that the mid-IR peak can be isolated using energy, angle and polarisation filters.

We investigate neutrino flavor transformation in the early universe in the presence of a lepton asymmetry, focusing on a two-flavor system with 1 - 3 mixing parameters. We identify five distinct regimes that emerge in an approximate treatment neglecting collisions as the initial lepton asymmetry at high temperature is varied from values comparable to current constraints on the lepton number down to values at which the neutrino-neutrino forward-scattering potential is negligible. The characteristic phenomena occurring in these regimes are (1) large synchronized oscillations, (2) minimal flavor transformation, (3) asymmetric (neutrino- or antineutrino-only) MSW, (4) partial MSW, and (5) symmetric MSW. We examine our numerical results in the framework of adiabaticity, and we illustrate how they are modified by collisional damping.

We investigate neutrino flavor transformation in the early universe in the presence of a lepton asymmetry, focusing on a two-flavor system with 1 - 3 mixing parameters.

We argue that a strongly first order electroweak phase transition is natural in the presence of strong symmetry-breaking interactions, such as technicolor. We demonstrate this using an effective linear scalar theory of the symmetry-breaking sector.

In light of the discovery of a Standard Model (SM)-like Higgs boson ($h$) at the LHC, we investigate the top quark to Higgs boson transition $t\rightarrow W^{*}bh$, which is the leading $t\to h$ decay mode in the SM. We find the decay branching fraction to be $1.80\times 10^{-9}$. In comparison, the two-body, loop-induced $t\rightarrow ch$ transition occurs at $\sim10^{-14}$ in the SM. We consider the consequences of gauge invariant dimension-6 operators affecting the $t\bar{t}h$ interaction and find that the decay branching fraction may be increased by a factor of two within current constraints on the coupling parameters from collider experiments. We also extend the calculation to the CP-conserving Type I and Type II Two Higgs Doublet Models (2HDM), including both CP-even and CP-odd Higgs bosons. For neutral scalar masses at about $100$ GeV, the decay rates can be several times larger than the SM result in the allowed range of model parameters. Observation prospects at present and future colliders are briefly addressed.

We investigate the possible existence of spin polarization and color superconductivity in the Nambu--Jona-Lasinio model with a tensor-type interaction at finite density and temperature. The thermodynamic potential is calculated by the functional integral method. Numerical results indicate that at low temperature and quark chemical potential the chiral condensed phase exists, and at intermediate chemical potential the color superconducting phase appears. In addition, depending on the magnitude of the tensor coupling, at large chemical potential and low temperature, a color superconducting phase and a spin polarized phase may coexist while at intermediate temperatures only the spin polarized phase occurs.

The AdS/CFT correspondence may offer new and useful insights into the non-perturbative regime of strongly coupled gauge theories such as Quantum Chromodynamics. Soft-wall AdS/QCD models have reproduced the linear trajectories of meson spectra by including background dilaton and chiral condensate fields. Efforts to derive these background fields from a scalar potential have so far been unsuccessful in satisfying the UV boundary conditions set by the AdS/CFT dictionary while reproducing the IR behavior needed to obtain the correct chiral symmetry breaking and meson spectra. We present a three-field scalar parametrization that includes the dilaton field and the chiral and glueball condensates. This model is consistent with linear trajectories for the meson spectra and the correct mass-splitting between the vector and axial-vector mesons. We also present the resulting meson trajectories.

We investigate the spin-dependent (naive) T-odd fragmentation function $D^\perp_{1T}$, which can provide an explanation on the transverse polarization of the $\Lambda^0$ hyperon produced in an unpolarized process. We calculate $D^\perp_{1T}$ for light flavors in the spectator diquark model, with a Gaussian form factor at the hyperon-quark-diquark vertex. We include in the calculation both the scalar diquark and axial-vector diquark spectators. We determine the values of the model parameters by fitting the unpolarized fragmentation function $D^\Lambda_1$ to the DSV parametrization for $D^\Lambda_1$. In addition, we compute the longitudinal polarization fragmentation function $G^\Lambda_1$ and compare it with the known parametrization of $G^\Lambda_1$. We also estimate the transverse polarizations of $\Lambda$ production, in both semi-inclusive deep inelastic scattering and single inclusive $e^+e^-$ annihilation.

We study a class of generalized models of gauge mediated supersymmetry breaking (GMSB). We find the parameters and the full particle spectrum of the minimal supersymmetric standard model (MSSM) for all GMSB models with messenger multiplicities that satisfy the perturbativity of the gauge couplings up to the GUT scale. We give a detailed description of the algorithm that has been used to predict all the unmeasured parameters of the MSSM by taking (one-loop) radiative effects into account. We also calculate the branching ratio $BR(b \to s \gamma)$ and find that it always turns out to be larger than the standard model prediction. However, we find that the branching ratio typically remains within the current experimental bounds, except for some special cases with a light charged Higgs boson, or a small supersymmetry breaking scale and a negative $\mu$-parameter.

We calculate the impact factor coupling a virtual photon to a gluon via a massive quark-antiquark pair at LL order, but with the imposition of the correct gluon kinematics. Exact analytical results are presented in triple Mellin space with respect to scaled Bjorken x, gluon transverse momentum and heavy quark mass. The application of these results to the calculation of approximate NLL coefficient functions needed to relate structure functions to the BFKL gluon is presented. The NLL effects with running coupling are seen to lead to a suppression of the small x divergence when compared with the fixed and running coupling LL results, but less than in the massless case.

The leading electroweak MSSM two-loop corrections to the electroweak precision observables are calculated. They are obtained by evaluating the two-loop O(\alpha_t^2), O(\alpha_t \alpha_b), O(\alpha_b^2) contributions to the quantity \Delta\rho in the limit of heavy scalar quarks, i.e. we consider the contributions of a Two-Higgs-Doublet model with MSSM restrictions. The full analytic result for arbitrary values of the lightest CP-even Higgs boson mass is presented. The numerical effects of the leading electroweak MSSM two-loop corrections on the precision observables M_W and sin^2(theta_eff) are analyzed. The electroweak two-loop contribution to M_W amounts up to -12 MeV and up to +6 10^-5 for sin^2(theta_eff). The corrections from the bottom quark loops can become important for large values of tan beta. They enter with a different sign than the O(\alpha_t^2) corrections. We furthermore investigate the current sensitivity of the electroweak precision observables to the top Yukawa coupling in the SM and the MSSM. The prospects for indirectly determining this coupling at the next generation of colliders are discussed.

The light-front heavy quark effective theory is derived to all orders in $1/m_Q$. In the limit $m_Q\rightarrow \infty$, the theory exhibits the familiar heavy quark spin-flavor symmetry. This new formalism permits a straightforward canonical quantization to all orders in $1/m_Q$; moreover, higher order terms have rather simple operator structures. The light-front heavy quark effective theory can serve as an useful framework for the study of non-perturbative QCD dynamics of heavy hadron bound states.

The generalization of the two-loop Pinch Technique to the Electroweak Sector of the Standard Model is presented. We restrict ourselves to the case of conserved external currents, and provide a detailed analysis of both the charged and neutral sectors. The crucial ingredient for this construction is the identification of the parts discarded during the pinching procedure with well-defined contributions to the Slavnov-Taylor identity satisfied by the off-shell one-loop gauge-boson vertices; the latter are nested inside the conventional two-loop self-energies. It is shown by resorting to a set of powerful identities that the two-loop effective Pinch Technique self-energies coincide with the corresponding ones computed in the Background Feynman gauge. The aforementioned identities are derived in the context of the Batalin-Vilkovisky formalism, a fact which enables the individual treatment of the self-energies of the photon and the $Z$-boson. Some possible phenomenological applications are briefly discussed.

The generalization of the two-loop Pinch Technique to the Electroweak Sector of the Standard Model is presented. We restrict ourselves to the case of conserved external currents, and provide a detailed analysis of both the charged and neutral sectors. The crucial ingredient for this construction is the identification of the parts discarded during the pinching procedure with well-defined contributions to the Slavnov-Taylor identity satisfied by the off-shell one-loop gauge-boson vertices; the latter are nested inside the conventional two-loop self-energies. It is shown by resorting to a set of powerful identities that the two-loop effective Pinch Technique self-energies coincide with the corresponding ones computed in the Background Feynman gauge. The aforementioned identities are derived in the context of the Batalin-Vilkovisky formalism, a fact which enables the individual treatment of the self-energies of the photon and the $Z$-boson. Some possible phenomenological applications are briefly discussed.

Spectra of masses are calculated for the families of doubly heavy baryons in the framework of nonrelativistic quark model with the QCD potential by Buchmuller--Tye. We suppose the quark-diquark structure for the wave functions and take into account the spin-dependent splittings. The physical reasons causing the existence of quazi-stable excited states in the subsystem of heavy diquark are considered for the heavy quarks of identical flavors.

Within the framework of the $U(3)$ chiral perturbation theory, we revisit the masses, decay constants and the mixing parameters of the light pseudoscalar mesons $\pi, K, \eta$ and $\eta'$. The low energy constants up to next-to-next-to-leading order are determined by including the light-quark mass dependences of the various quantities from different lattice QCD simulations and relevant phenomenological inputs. Then we study the finite-temperature behaviors of the masses of the light pseudoscalar mesons. The thermal behaviors of the $\eta$-$\eta'$ mixing angles in singlet-octet and quark-flavor bases are also explored. While the masses of the $\pi, K$, and $\eta$ are increased when increasing the temperatures, the mass of the $\eta'$ turns out to be slightly decreased in the low-temperature region.

Dispersive sum rules constitute long-standing tools for extracting hadron features from QCD. We estimate the systematic uncertainties induced by assuming quark-hadron duality and improve the accuracy of the resulting predictions by elevating the effective thresholds involved in this approximation from constants to functions of momenta and a parameter entering upon Borel transformation. A rigorous scrutiny of the applicability of our proposed sum-rule modifications to QCD gives us great confidence that our sum-rule alterations will prove to be fruitful for hadron phenomenology.

The relic density of dark matter in the $\Lambda$CDM model restricts the parameter space for a cosmological axion field, constraining the axion decay constant, the initial amplitude of the axion field and the axion mass. It is shown via lattice simulations how the relic density of axion-like particles with masses close to the one of the QCD axion is affected by axion-gauge field interactions and by initial axion inhomogeneities. For pre-inflationary axions, once the Hubble parameter becomes smaller than the axion mass, the latter starts to oscillate, and part of its energy density is spent producing gauge fields via parametric resonance. If the gauge fields are dark photons and Standard Model photons, the energy density of dark photons becomes higher than the one of the axion, while the high conductivity of the primordial plasma damps the oscillations of the photon field. Such a scenario allows for the production of small-scale, primordial magnetic fields, and it is found that the relic density of axions with a low decay constant are within the bounds set by the $\Lambda$CDM model, while GUT-scale axions are far too abundant. It is also shown that initial inhomogeneities of the axion field can change substantially the gauge field production, boosting or suppressing (depending on the axion parameters and couplings) the magnetogenesis mechanism with respect to an homogeneous axion field. It is found that when the axion mass is far lighter than the QCD axion model and the initial axion field is inhomogeneous, weak but cosmologically relevant magnetic field seeds can be generated on scales of the order of $0.1$ kpc.

We report that models of electroweak supersymmetry with gaugino mass unification and sequestered scalar masses can still produce viable spectra, as long as we include a set of non-standard supersymmetry breaking terms, which are trilinear in scalars like the A-terms, but are non-holomorphic in visible sector fields unlike the A- terms. These terms impart a subtle feature to one loop renormalisation group equations of soft supersymmetry breaking terms, indirectly sourcing flavor universal contributions to all scalar masses. These new contributions can even dominate over radiative corrections form bino, and help raise right handed sleptons above bino, while leaving a tell-tale signature in the spectrum.

The ACCMM model predicts the lepton spectrum from $B$ meson decay by assuming the meson disintegrates into a spectator quark of definite mass and momentum distribution and an off shell $b$ quark whose decay leptons (boosted into the rest frame of the meson) determine the lepton spectrum. In this letter, we show that one can define a model dependent $b$ quark mass so that the spectrum derived from the ACCMM model agrees very well with the free quark decay spectrum far from the endpoint. Near the endpoint, there is some disagreement, indicating the result is more model dependent. The integrated spectra are however very nearly identical. These results are in accordance with expectations based on the heavy quark effective theory. The detailed analytic study of this model helps elucidate the HQET result, and in particular the meaning of the $b$ quark mass. We conclude that for LEP experiments, free quark decay might be as general and more simple than the ACCMM ansatz for modeling the inclusive charged lepton spectrum from $B$ meson decay.

With no conclusive signal till date of the minimal supersymmetric and extra dimensional models at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), the issue of fine-tuning of the Higgs mass still calls for some attention. It could be very possible that the observed Higgs boson of mass 125 GeV has its origin in a non-supersymmetric extended scalar sector, and, it still has properties strikingly similar to the Standard Model Higgs. In such cases, however, one relies upon possible cancellations in the quadratic divergence of the Higgs mass to uphold naturalness. In this work, we have investigated this possibility in context of some two Higgs doublet and three Higgs doublet scenarios.

Within kinetic theory, we look for local equilibrium configurations of the quark-gluon plasma by maximizing the local entropy. We use the well-established transport equations in the Vlasov limit, supplemented with the Waldmann-Snider collision terms. Two different classes of local equilibrium solutions are found. The first one corresponds to the configurations that comply with the so-called collisional invariants. The second one is given by the distribution functions that cancel the collision terms, representing the most probable binary interactions with soft gluon exchange in the t-channel. The two sets of solutions agree with each other if we go beyond these dominant processes and take into account subleading quark-antiquark annihilation/creation and gluon number non-conserving processes. The local equilibrium state appears to be colorful, as the color charges are not locally neutralized. Properties of such an equilibrium state are analyzed. In particular, the related hydrodynamic equations of a colorful fluid are derived. Possible neutralization processes are also briefly discussed.

We show an interesting correlation between the recent high precision measurement of the $W$-boson mass by the CDF collaboration and the muon $(g-2)$ anomaly in the context of the two Higgs doublet model. One-loop diagrams involving the exchange of neutral scalar bosons can explain the muon $(g-2)$, which however requires significant mass splittings among members of the second Higgs doublet. These splittings also generate a positive shift in the mass of the $W$-boson, consistent with the recent CDF measurement. The charged and neutral scalars of the model cannot be heavier than about 600 GeV for a simultaneous explanation of the two anomalies. The entire parameter space of the model can be tested at the LHC by a combination of same sign dimuon signals in $pp \rightarrow (\mu^+ \mu^+ jj + {E\!\!\!\!/}_{T})$ and $pp \rightarrow (\mu^+\mu^-\tau^+\tau^-+X)$ signals.

Canonical neutrino oscillations arise due to the propagation of three mass eigenstates from production to detection. We aspire to capture, in one simple framework, a broad range of new physics effects on neutrino propagation beyond this canonical picture - this can be done by promoting the neutrino propagators to the general K\"all\'en-Lehmann form. In this work we demonstrate how models predicting additional light propagating species of neutrino are naturally accommodated in this language and propose a simple model spectrum composed of just three `broadened' states as a flexible ansatz by which to explore the phenomenology of new physics in neutrino propagation. Reinterpreting existing neutrino oscillation measurements, we illustrate how this framework provides the capacity to probe deviations from the standard three-neutrino scenario systematically and generally. Whilst current data allows for relatively strong constraints on broadened neutrinos, we find the upcoming JUNO experiment will yield significant improvements, particularly for the heaviest neutrino, paving the way to a clearer understanding of how neutrinos propagate in vacuum.

In this paper, we search for conditions that the mass matrix of light neutrinos $m_{\nu}$ is not a result of large cancellations for the type-I seesaw mechanism with four-zero texture. For the Yukawa matrix of neutrinos $Y_{\nu}$ and heavy Majorana mass matrix $M_{R}$, these conditions are written as $(Y_{\nu})_{i2} \propto (m_{\nu})_{i2} \, \Rightarrow \, (Y_{\nu})_{i2} \propto (M_{R})_{i2}$. We call them {\it alignment} conditions because they align the certain rows or columns of the three neutrino mass matrices. If these conditions do not hold, the large mixing in $m_{\nu}$ is a result of fine-tuning due to the cancellation of several terms. Then they are required from a viewpoint of naturalness. They give an explanation of the seesaw-invariance of four-zero texture, and place rough restrictions on flavor structures of neutrinos. Under these conditions, $Y_{\nu}$ must have a cascade hierarchy. For $M_{R}$, the 12 submatrix has a similar hierarchy as $Y_{\nu}$ and $m_{\nu}$. However, the 23 submatrix has a waterfall hierarchy without some fine-tuning. Therefore, it is likely that $Y_{\nu}$ and $M_{R}$ have qualitatively different flavor structures. Furthermore, since the conditions restrict CP phases of the matrix elements, they imply existence of a universal generalized CP symmetry in the neutrino sector.

We calculate the large Yukawa coupling corrections to the top and bottom scalar quark pair production in $\ee$ annihilation within the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model. We include the vertex corrections and the corrections to the gauge boson propagator enhanced by large masses. We find the total corrections are quite significant. In some regions of the parameter space the corrections are larger than 10%.

The Higgs self-interactions play a crucial role for exploring the underlying mechanism of electroweak symmetry breaking and the nature of the phase transition involved. In this article, we propose to probe the quartic Higgs self-interaction at lepton and hadron colliders, via the di-Higgs productions. We analyze the contributions of the quartic Higgs coupling, including the renormalization of the cubic Higgs coupling and the modification of the $VVhh$ form factor, to the vector-boson-fusion and the vector-boson associated di-Higgs productions at one-loop level. Such an effect is independent of the choice of gauge-fixing, if the quartic Higgs coupling is decoupled from the other ones in the contexts considered. Notably, a combination of these two di-Higgs productions is important for optimizing the collider sensitivities to probe the quartic Higgs coupling. With this guideline, we explore the ILC and CLIC sensitivities, and find that the ILC has a potential to measure the quartic Higgs coupling, normalized by its SM value, with a precision of $\sim \pm 25$ (500 GeV, 4 ab$^{-1}$ + 1 TeV, 2.5 ab$^{-1}$) and $\sim \pm20$ (500 GeV, 4 ab$^{-1}$ + 1 TeV, 8 ab$^{-1}$), at $1\sigma$ C.L., after marginalizing the cubic Higgs coupling in the $\chi^2$ analysis. The dependence on the renormalization scheme of the cubic Higgs coupling is discussed.

Usually it is believed that the Hartree-Fock state of quark matter is a Fermi gas state with no polarisation of spins. We examine the possibility of the polarised quark liquid interacting with the one-gluon-exchange interaction. It is suggested that the Hartree-Fock state shows a spontaneous magnetic instability at low densities through the same mechanism as the appearance of ferromagnetism in electron gas. Metastability of the polarised quark liquid is also discussed.

Combined HERA data on charm production in deep-inelastic scattering have previously been used to determine the charm-quark running mass $m_c(m_c)$ in the MSbar renormalisation scheme. Here, the same data are used as a function of the photon virtuality $Q^2$ to evaluate the charm-quark running mass at different scales to one-loop order, in the context of a next-to-leading order QCD analysis. The scale dependence of the mass is found to be consistent with QCD expectations.

The temperature dependence of the sum of the QCD up- and down-quark masses, $(m_u + m_d)$ and the pion decay constant, $f_\pi$, are determined from two thermal finite energy QCD sum rules for the pseudoscalar-current correlator. This quark-mass remains mostly constant for temperatures well below the critical temperature for deconfinement/chiral-symmetry restoration. As this critical temperature is approached, the quark-mass increases sharply with increasing temperature. This increase is far more pronounced if the temperature dependence of the pion mass (determined independently from other methods) is taken into account. The behavior of $f_\pi(T)$ is consistent with the expectation from chiral symmetry, i.e. that it should follow the thermal dependence of the quark condensate, independently of the quark mass.

We study self-interacting dark matter coupled to the Standard Model via the Higgs portal. We consider a scenario where dark matter is a thermal relic with strong enough self interactions that can alleviate the problems of collisionless cold dark matter. We study constraints from direct detection searches, the LHC, and Big Bang nucleosynthesis. We show that the tension between these constraints and the need for sufficiently strong self-interactions with light mediators can be alleviated by coupling the mediator to either active or sterile neutrinos. Future direct detection data offers great potential and can be used to find evidence of a light mediator and verify that dark matter scatters via long-range self-interactions.

We currently live in the age of the CKM paradigm. The $3\times 3$ matrix that links $(d,\ s,\ b)$ quarks to $(u,\ c,\ t)$ in the charged current weak interaction, being complex and nominally with 18 parameters, can be accounted for by just 3 rotation angles and one $CP$ violating (CPV) phase, with unitarity and the CKM phases triumphantly tested at the B factories. But the CKM picture is unsatisfactory and has too many parameters. The main aim of Flavor Physics and $CP$ violation (FPCP) studies is the pursuit to uncover New Physics beyond the Standard Model (SM). Two highlights of LHC Run~1 period are the CPV phase $\phi_s$ of $B_s$ mixing and $B_s \to\mu^+\mu^-$ decay, which were found to be again consistent with SM, though the saga is yet unfinished. We also saw the emergence of the $P_5'$ angular variable anomaly in $B^0 \to K^{*0}\mu^+\mu^-$ decay and $R_{K^{(*)}}$ anomaly in $B \to K^{(*)}\mu^+\mu^-$ to $B \to K^{(*)}e^+e^-$ rate ratios, and the BaBar anomaly in $B \to D^{(*)}\tau\nu$ decays, which suggest possible New Physics in these flavor processes, pointing to extra $Z'$, charged Higgs, or leptoquarks. Charmless hadronic, semileptonic, purely leptonic and radiative $B$ decays continue to offer various further windows on New Physics. Away from $B$ physics, the rare $K \to \pi\nu\nu$ decays and $\varepsilon'/\varepsilon$ in the kaon sector, $\mu \to e$ transitions, muon $g-2$ and electric dipole moments of the neutron and electron, $\tau \to \mu\gamma,\ \mu\mu\mu,\ eee$, and a few charm physics probes, offer broadband frontier windows on New Physics.

We demonstrate how most of the light $J^{P}=0^{+}$ spectrum below $2.0\,\mathrm{GeV}$ and their decays can be consistently described by the unitarized quark model incorporating the chiral constraints of Adler zeros and taking SU(3) breaking effects into account. These resonances appear as poles in the complex $s$ plane in a unified picture as $q\bar{q}$ states strongly dressed by hadron loops. Through the large $N_c$ analysis, these resonances are found to naturally separate into two kinds: $\sigma, \kappa, f_0(980), a_0(980)$ are dynamically generated and run away from the real axis as $N_c$ increases, while the others move towards the $q\bar q $ seeds. In this picture, the line shape of $a_0(980)$ is produced by a broad pole below the $K\bar{K}$ threshold, and exhibits characteristics similar to the $\sigma$ and $\kappa$.

The differential rate of the decay of the Higgs boson ($h$) to a pair of $\tau $ leptons with their subsequent decay in the $\tau^-\to \pi^- \nu_\tau$ and $\tau^+\to \pi^+{\bar \nu}_\tau$ channels is studied. The Yukawa interaction between the Higgs boson and the $\tau$ leptons is assumed to include scalar ($S$) and pseudoscalar ($PS$) couplings. Angular distributions of the pions in the $h\to\tau^- \tau^+\to\pi^-\nu_{\tau}\,\pi^+{\bar \nu}_\tau$ decay are considered. For real values of the $S$ and $PS$ couplings, this decay is known to be a source of information on $\mathcal{CP}$ violation in the $h \tau \tau $ interaction. In the present paper, the main attention is paid to a possible non-Hermiticity of this interaction. Influence of non-Hermiticity on the distribution of the angle between planes of the $ \tau^- \to \pi^-\nu_{\tau}$ and $\tau^+ \to \pi^+ {\bar \nu}_{\tau}$ decays, and distribution of the polar angle of one of the pions are analyzed. Asymmetries sensitive to parameters of $\mathcal{CP}$ violation and non-Hermiticity of $h \tau \tau$ interaction are proposed.

I will briefly review the physics of top quark at high energy colliders. A new discovery of single-top event at the Fermilab Tevatron is expected. At the CERN Large Hadron Collider, detailed top quark properties can be measured and new physics ideas in which top quark plays a special role can be tested. I will also discuss a few phenomenological methods for analyzing experimental data to study top quark interactions.

We investigate prospects of building a future accelerator-based neutrino oscillation experiment in China, including site selection, beam optimization and tau neutrino physics aspects. CP violation, non-unitary mixing and non-standard neutrino interactions are discussed. We simulate neutrino beam setups based on muon and beta decay techniques and compare Chinese laboratory sites by their expected sensitivities. A case study on Super Proton-Proton Collider and China JinPing Laboratory is also presented. It is shown that the muon-decay-based beam setup can measure the Dirac CP phase by about 14.2$^\circ$ precision at 1$\,\sigma$ CL, whereas non-unitarity can be probed down to $|\alpha_{i j}| \lesssim$ 0.37 ($i \neq j =$ 1, 2, 3) and non-standard interactions to $|\epsilon^m_{\ell \ell'}| \lesssim$ 0.11 ($\ell \neq \ell' = e$, $\mu$, $\tau$) at 90% CL, respectively.

We determine the weak mixing angle in the MS-bar scheme at energy scales relevant for present and future low energy electroweak measurements. We relate the renormalization group evolution of the weak mixing angle to the corresponding evolution of the QED coupling and include higher-order terms in alpha_s and alpha that had not been treated in previous analyses. We also up-date the analysis of non-perturbative hadronic contributions and argue that the associated uncertainty is small compared to anticipated experimental errors. The resulting value of the low-energy weak mixing angle is sin^2 theta_W (0) = 0.23867 +- 0.00016.

Considering the density dependence of quark mass, we investigate the phase transition between the (unpaired) strange quark matter and the color-flavor-locked matter, which are supposed to be two candidates for the ground state of strongly interacting matter. We find that if the current mass of strange quark $m_s$ is small, the strange quark matter remains stable unless the baryon density is very high. If $m_s$ is large, the phase transition from the strange quark matter to the color-flavor-locked matter in particular to its gapless phase is found to be different from the results predicted by previous works. A complicated phase diagram of three-flavor quark matter is presented, in which the color-flavor-locked phase region is suppressed for moderate densities.

We consider a (long-lived) sterile neutrino dark matter scenario in a five dimensional (5D) warped extra dimension model where the fields can live in the bulk, which is partly motivated from the absence of the absolutely stable particles in a simple Randall-Sundrum model. The dominant production of the sterile neutrino can come from the decay of the radion (the scalar field representing the brane separation) around the electroweak scale. The suppressions of the 4D parameters due to the warp factor and the small wave function overlaps in the extra dimension help alleviate the exceeding fine-tunings typical for a sterile neutrino dark matter scenario in a 4D setup.

In hard collisions at a hadron collider the most appropriate description of the initial state depends on what is measured in the final state. Parton distribution functions (PDFs) evolved to the hard collision scale Q are appropriate for inclusive observables, but not for measurements with a specific number of hard jets, leptons, and photons. Here the incoming protons are probed and lose their identity to an incoming jet at a scale \mu_B << Q, and the initial state is described by universal beam functions. We discuss the field-theoretic treatment of beam functions, and show that the beam function has the same RG evolution as the jet function to all orders in perturbation theory. In contrast to PDF evolution, the beam function evolution does not mix quarks and gluons and changes the virtuality of the colliding parton at fixed momentum fraction. At \mu_B, the incoming jet can be described perturbatively, and we give a detailed derivation of the one-loop matching of the quark beam function onto quark and gluon PDFs. We compute the associated NLO Wilson coefficients and explicitly verify the cancellation of IR singularities. As an application, we give an expression for the next-to-next-to-leading logarithmic order (NNLL) resummed Drell-Yan beam thrust cross section.

Applying effective Lagrangian method and on-shell scheme, we analyze the electroweak corrections to anomalous dipole moments of lepton from some special two loop diagrams in which a closed heavy fermion loop is attached to the virtual gauge bosons or Higgs fields. As the masses of virtual fermions in inner loop are much heavier than the electroweak scale, we verify the final results satisfying the decoupling theorem explicitly if the interactions among Higgs and heavy fermions do not contain the nondecoupling couplings. At the decoupling limit, we also present the leading corrections to lepton anomalous dipole moments from those two loop diagrams in some popular extensions of the standard model, such as the fourth generation, supersymmetry, universal extra dimension, and the littlest Higgs with T-parity.

The dynamical density fluctuations around QCD critical point (CP) are analyzed using relativistic dissipative fluid dynamics, and we show that the sound mode around the QCD CP is strongly attenuated whereas the thermal fluctuation stands out there. We speculate that if possible suppression or disappearance of a Mach cone, which seems to be created by the partonic jets at RHIC, is observed as the incident energy of the heavyion collisions is decreased, it can be a signal of the existence of the QCD CP. We have presented the Israel-Stewart type fluid dynamic equations that are derived rigorously on the basis of the (dynamical) renormalization group method in the second part of the talk, which we omit here because of a lack of space.

We study the coherent final state interaction of an energetic parton produced in AA collisions caused by the change in the cutoff scale and running coupling constant from the vacuum to QGP. We demonstrate that the contribution of this new mechanism to the energy loss may be of the order of magnitude of the induced gluon radiation. However, an accurate evaluation of this medium effect is a difficult task because there is a strong cancellation between the cutoff and running coupling constant effects. The uncertainties in the contribution of the coherent final state interaction restrict strongly the accuracy of jet tomographic analyses of the matter density produced in AA reactions.

We study the effects of the unstable gravitino on the big-bang nucleosynthesis. If the gravitino mass is smaller than \sim 10 TeV, primordial gravitinos produced after the inflation are likely to decay after the big-bang nucleosynthesis starts, and the light element abundances may be significantly affected by the hadro- and photo-dissociation processes as well as by the p n conversion process. We calculate the light element abundances and derived upper bound on the reheating temperature after the inflation. In our analysis, we calculate the decay parameters of the gravitino (i.e., lifetime and branching ratios) in detail. In addition, we performed a systematic study of the hadron spectrum produced by the gravitino decay, taking account of all the hadrons produced by the decay products of the gravitino (including the daughter superparticles). We discuss the model-dependence of the upper bound on the reheating temperature.

This paper updates and improves the study of electron neutrino appearance in the framework of two far detectors at different oscillation maxima, specifically, Tokai-To-Kamioka-to-Korea. We used a likelihood based on reconstructed quantities to distinguish charged current $\nu_e$ interactions from neutral current background. We studied the efficiency of the likelihood for a 20% photo-coverage in comparison of a 40% photo-coverage. We used a detailed neutrino event simulation to estimate the neutral current background. With these analysis tools we studied the sensitivity of the proposed experiment to CP violation and mass hierarchy as a function of the off-axis angle.

An analysis of the chiral and deconfinement phase transition of the model and its thermodynamics at finite temperatures is given. Three different forms of the effective Polyakov loop potential are considered. The findings of the (2+1)-flavor model investigations are confronted to corresponding recent QCD lattice simulations of the RBC-Bielefeld, HotQCD and Wuppertal-Budapest collaborations. The influence of the heavier quark masses, which are used in the lattice calculations, is taken into account. In the transition region the bulk thermodynamics of the PQM model agrees well with the lattice data.

We discuss massive quark effects in the endpoint region $x \to 1$ of inclusive deep inelastic scattering, where the hadronic final state is collimated and thus represents a jet. In this regime heavy quark pairs are generated via secondary radiation, i.e. due to a gluon splitting in light quark initiated contributions starting at $\mathcal{O}(\alpha_s^2)$ in the fixed-order expansion. Based on the factorization framework for massless quarks in Soft Collinear Effective Theory (SCET), we construct a variable flavor number scheme that deals with arbitrary hierarchies between the mass scale and the kinematic scales exhibiting a continuous behavior between the massless limit for very light quarks and the decoupling limit for very heavy quarks. We show that the threshold matching corrections for all gauge invariant components at the mass scale are related to each other via consistency conditions. This is explicitly demonstrated by recalculating the known threshold correction for the parton distribution function at $\mathcal{O}(\alpha_s^2 C_F T_F)$ within SCET. The latter contains large rapidity logarithms $\sim \ln(1-x)$ that can be summed by exponentiation. Their coefficients are universal which can be used to obtain potentially relevant higher order results for generic threshold corrections at colliders from computations in deep inelastic scattering. In particular, we extract the $\mathcal{O}(\alpha_s^3)$ threshold correction multiplied by a single rapidity logarithm from results obtained earlier.

We discuss massive quark effects in the endpoint region $x \to 1$ of inclusive deep inelastic scattering, where the hadronic final state is collimated and thus represents a jet. In this regime heavy quark pairs are generated via secondary radiation, i.e. due to a gluon splitting in light quark initiated contributions starting at $\mathcal{O}(\alpha_s^2)$ in the fixed-order expansion. Based on the factorization framework for massless quarks in Soft Collinear Effective Theory (SCET), we construct a variable flavor number scheme that deals with arbitrary hierarchies between the mass scale and the kinematic scales exhibiting a continuous behavior between the massless limit for very light quarks and the decoupling limit for very heavy quarks. We show that the threshold matching corrections for all gauge invariant components at the mass scale are related to each other via consistency conditions. This is explicitly demonstrated by recalculating the known threshold correction for the parton distribution function at $\mathcal{O}(\alpha_s^2 C_F T_F)$ within SCET. The latter contains large rapidity logarithms $\sim \ln(1-x)$ that can be summed by exponentiation. Their coefficients are universal which can be used to obtain potentially relevant higher order results for generic threshold corrections at colliders from computations in deep inelastic scattering. In particular, we extract the $\mathcal{O}(\alpha_s^3)$ threshold correction multiplied by a single rapidity logarithm from results obtained earlier.

The unification of gauge coupling constants in the minimal supersymmetric model (MSSM) is unaffected at the one-loop level by the inclusion of additional mass-degenerate SU(5) multiplets. Perturbativity puts an upper limit on the number of additional fields. We analyse the evolution of the gauge coupling constants in all models satisfying these criteria using two-loop $\beta$ functions and including low energy threshold effects. We find that similarly to the minimal supersymmetric model (MSSM) unification takes place within the theoretical and experimental errors. The dominant proton decay mode is more suppressed in all extended models as opposed to the MSSM due to renormalization group effects. However, the prediction for the bottom to $\tau$ mass ratio becomes worse in all models under consideration.

The B-factories results provide an impressive confirmation of the Standard Model (SM) description of flavor and CP violation. Nevertheless, as more data were accumulated, deviations in the 2.5-3.5 sigma range have emerged pointing to the exciting possibility of new CP-odd phase(s) and flavor violating parameters in B-decays. Primarily this seems to be the case in the time dependent CP asymmetries in penguin dominated modes (e.g. B -> phi (eta') Ks). We discuss these and other deviations from the SM and, as an illustration of possible new physics scenarios, we examine the role of the Top Two Higgs Doublet Model. This is a simple extension of the SM obtained by adding second Higgs doublet in which the Yukawa interactions of the two Higgs doublets are assigned in order to naturally account for the large top-quark mass. Of course, many other extensions of the Standard Model could also account for these experimental deviations. Clearly if one takes these deviations seriously then some new particles in the 300 GeV to few TeV with associated new CP-odd phase(s) are needed.

Puzzling structures have been observed in the charmonium energy region, namely the $Y(4260)$ and the $Y(4360)$, that cannot be easily accommodated within quark model frameworks. The proximity of nearby dominant hadronic thresholds suggests that they play an important role in the formation of the enhancements. We present results of an unitarized effective Lagrangian model, where mesonic loops, equivalent to coupled-channels, and charmonium vectors $\psi$ interplay to generate line-shapes and poles.
