In this study, we try to extract $\omega n$, $\omega p$ and $\phi$N scattering lengths from the differential cross-section data of near-threshold $\omega$ and $\phi$ photoproductions not only to the energy at threshold t$_{thr}$, but also in t to t = 0. The incoherent data of $\omega$ and $\phi$ photoproductions on deuterium target for scattering length extractions are provided by CBELSA/TAPS Collaboration and LEPS Collaboration respectively, where the deuteron is usually approximated as a weakly bound state of a quasi-free neutron plus a quasi-free proton. Under the Vector Meson Doninance model and the assumption of energy independence of the differential cross-section, we obtained the $|\alpha_{\omega n^{*}}|$ and $|\alpha_{\omega p^{*}}|$ of loosely bound neutron and proton in the deuteron to be 0.709 $\pm$ 0.078 fm and 0.621 $\pm$ 0.022 fm respectively at threshold t$_{thr}$ (1.258 $\pm$ 0.130 fm and 1.056 $\pm$ 0.032 fm respectively in t to t = 0) for the first time by fitting the near-threshold data of $\gamma$d $\rightarrow$ $\omega$n(p) and $\gamma$d $\rightarrow$ $\omega$p(n). For a comparison study, we also extracted the scattering length $|\alpha_{\omega p}|$ of the free proton from the $\omega$ photoproduction on the hydrogen target by CBELSA/TAPS Collaboration. With the near-threshold and incoherent $\phi$ photoproduction data of $\gamma$d $\rightarrow$ $\phi$pn by LEPS Collaboration, we obtained scattering length $|\alpha_{\phi N}|$ of the bound nucleon inside the deuteron to be 0.109 $\pm$ 0.008 fm at threshold t$_{thr}$ and 0.276 $\pm$ 0.010 fm in t to t = 0, respectively. The obtained $|\alpha_{\omega p}|$ and $|\alpha_{\phi N}|$ are basically in agreement with the experimental indications and the theoretical predictions within the current uncertainties.

The rare decays $B^0 \to D_s^- K^+$ and $B^+ \to D_s^+ \bar{K}^0$ can occur only via annihilation type diagrams in the standard model. We calculate these decays in perturbative QCD approach. We found that the calculated branching ratio of $B^0 \to D_s^- K^+$ agreed with the data which had been observed in the KEK and SLAC $B$ factories. While the decay $B^+ \to D_s^+ \bar{K}^0$ has a very small branching ratio at ${\cal O}(10^{-8})$, due to the suppression from CKM matrix elements $|V_{ub}^* V_{cd}|$.

The contribution of exclusive radiative tail to the cross section of semi-inclusive hadron leptoproduction has been calculated exactly for the first time. Although the experience of inclusive data analyses suggests us that the contribution of radiative tail from the elastic peak is of particular importance, similar effects in the semi-inclusive process were only recently estimated in the peaking approximation. The explicit expressions for the lepton part of the lowest order QED contribution of exclusive radiative tail to the five-fold differential cross section are obtained and discussed. Numerical estimates, provided within Jefferson Lab kinematic conditions, demonstrate rather large effects of the exclusive radiative tail in the region at semi-inclusive threshold and for high energy of detected hadron.

In this talk we report on a study on the mixing of neutral charmed mesons and argue that, at the present stage, a CP violating weak phase of the order of some per mille can not be excluded in the Standard Model. It is shown how some, seemingly reasonable, simplifying assumptions about CKM couplings lead to the wrong conclusion that CP violation of this amount is an unambiguous indication of new physics. The presented results rely on a recent short-distance analysis of the Delta C=2 transition, which confirms the expectation that the dominant contribution is due to effects of flavour symmetry breaking appearing in higher orders of the Heavy Quark Expansion. We investigate meson-antimeson transitions with an intermediate state coupling to the meson's sea quark background, present in dimension 10 and 12, using a factorisation approach to simplify the operator basis. On account of a lifting of GIM suppression by one power of m_s/m_c, the contribution to y=Delta Gamma/2 Gamma is found to exceed that of the formally leading dimension six by a factor close to ten.

In this study, the coupling constant of $D^*_sD^*K^*$ and $D_{s1}D_1K^*$ vertices were determined within the three-point Quantum chromodynamics sum rules method with and without consideration of the $SU_{f}(3)$ symmetry. The coupling constants were calculated for off-shell charm and K$^*$ cases. Considering the non-perturbative effect of the correlation function, as the most important contribution, the quark-quark, quark-gluon, and gluon-gluon condensate corrections were estimated and were compared with other predictive methods.

I suggest two new unitarity tests for the quark charged current coupling constants which are $(sin \gamma/sin \alpha) = \zeta$, and $(sin 2\gamma)/(sin 2\alpha) = - ((1-\zeta cos \beta))/(cos \beta-\zeta)$ where $\zeta$ is a CKM parameter defined in the text. These unitarity identities do not suffer some of the multi-value ambiguities. Related problems are discussed. The sign of $\Delta m_{_{B_d}}$ should satisfy the condition $\Delta m cos 2\beta < 0$.

The analysis excludes mass regions where the MSW effect is important for the solar neutrino problem.

The top quark flavor changing neutral current (FCNC) processes are extremely suppressed within the Standard Model (SM) of particle physics. However, they could be enhanced in a new physics model Beyond the Standard Model (BSM). The top quark FCNC interactions would be a good test of new physics at present and future colliders. Within the framework of the BSM models, these interactions can be described by an effective Lagrangian. In this work, we study tqgamma and tqZ effective FCNC interaction vertices through the process e-p->e-Wq+X at future electron proton colliders, projected as Large Hadron electron Collider (LHeC) and Future Circular Collider-hadron electron (FCC-he). The cross sections for the signal have been calculated for different values of parameters lambda_q for tqgamma vertices and kappa_q for $tqZ$ vertices. Taking into account the relevant background we estimate the attainable range of signal parameters as a function of the integrated luminosity and present contour plots of couplings for different significance levels including detector simulation.

We study the effect of final state interactions at the threshold of Higgs boson pair production in the Glashow-Weinberg-Salam model. We consider three major processes of the pair production in the model: lepton pair annihilation, ZZ fusion, and WW fusion. We find that the corrections caused by the effect for these processes are markedly different. According to our results, the effect can cause non-negligible corrections to the cross sections for lepton pair annihilation and small corrections for ZZ fusion, and this effect is negligible for WW fusion.

We investigate the interplay between early universe cosmology and dark matter direct detection, considering axion models with naturally suppressed couplings to photons. In the context of the cosmological relaxation of the electroweak scale, we focus on a scenario of \emph{Relaxion Dark Matter}, in which the relaxion field constitutes all the observed dark matter relic density and its allowed mass range is fixed to a few $\mathrm{keV}$ by construction. In particular, we show that a relaxion particle with mass $m_\phi= 3.0 \,\mathrm{keV}$ which couples to electrons with $g_{\phi, e}= 6.8 \times 10^{-14}$ is consistent with the XENON1T excess, while accounting for the observed dark matter and satisfying astro/cosmo probes. This scenario uses the electroweak scale as the link connecting the relaxion production at early times with the dark matter absorption rate in direct detection.

A new method is presented to determine the gluon density in the proton from jet production in deeply inelastic scattering. By using the technique of Mellin transforms not only for the solution of the scale evolution equation of the parton densities but also for the evaluation of scattering cross sections, the gluon density can be extracted in next-to-leading order QCD. The method described in this paper is, however, more general, and can be used in situations where a repeated fast numerical evaluation of scattering cross sections for varying parton distribution functions is required.

We present a systematic study of the normalized symmetric cumulants, NSC(n,m), at the eccentricity level in proton-proton interactions at $\sqrt s\!=\! 13$ TeV within a wounded hot spot approach. We focus our attention on the influence of spatial correlations between the proton constituents, in our case gluonic hot spots, on this observable. We notice that the presence of short-range repulsive correlations between the hot spots systematically decreases the values of NSC(2,3) and NSC(2,4) in mid-to-ultra central collisions while increases them in peripheral interactions. In the case of NSC(2,3) we find that, as suggested by data, an anti-correlation of $\varepsilon_2$ and $\varepsilon_3$ in ultra-central collisions, i.e. NSC(2,3)$<0$, is possible within the correlated scenario while it never occurs without correlations. We attribute this fact to the decisive role of correlations on enlarging the probability of interaction topologies that reduce the value of NSC(2,3) and, eventually, make it negative. Further, we explore the dependence of our conclusions on the values of the hot spot radius and the repulsive core distance. Our results add evidence to the idea that considering spatial correlations between the subnucleonic degrees of freedom of the proton may have a strong impact on the initial state properties of proton-proton interactions [1].

New Constraints on Dispersive Form Factor Parameterizations from the Timelike Region

We generalize a recent model-independent form factor parameterization derived from rigorous dispersion relations to include constraints from data in the timelike region. These constraints dictate the convergence properties of the parameterization and appear as sum rules on the parameters. We further develop a new parameterization that takes into account finiteness and asymptotic conditions on the form factor, and use it to fit to the elastic \pi electromagnetic form factor. We find that the existing world sample of timelike data gives only loose bounds on the form factor in the spacelike region, but explain how the acquisition of additional timelike data or fits to other form factors are expected to give much better results. The same parameterization is seen to fit spacelike data extremely well.

We generalize a recent model-independent form factor parameterization derived from rigorous dispersion relations to include constraints from data in the timelike region. These constraints dictate the convergence properties of the parameterization and appear as sum rules on the parameters. We further develop a new parameterization that takes into account finiteness and asymptotic conditions on the form factor, and use it to fit to the elastic \pi electromagnetic form factor.

High energy, high luminosity, future lepton colliders, circular or linear, may possibly give us hint about fundamental laws of Nature governing at very short distances and very short time intervals, the same which have brought our Universe to live. Currently considered projects are on one hand linear electron-positron colliders, which offer higher energy and lower beam intensities and on the other hand circular electron-positron colliders, limited in energy but offering tremendous interaction rates. On the far future horizon, muon circular colliders are the only viable projects which can explore $>10$TeV teritory of the lepton colliders. Experiments in all these future colliders will require theoretical calculations, mainly of Standard Model processes (including QED), at the precision level one or even two orders better than available today. After briefly characterization of theory puzzles in the fundamental interactions we shall overview main challenges in the precision calculations of the Standard Model effects, which have to be removed from data, in order to reveal traces of new unexpected phenomena.

Within the hadronic language of Chiral Perturbation Theory we present the full leading-order octet-baryon$-$meson and decuplet-baryon$-$meson contribution to the proton self energy and thus to its wave function renormalization factor $Z$. By Fock-expanding the physical proton state into its bare and hadron-cloud part, we show how each individual baryon-meson probability depend on the average momenta of the particles in the fluctuation. We present how the results depend on the choice of the form factor involved in the regularization (Gaussian or Besselian) and how they depend on the cut-off parameter. We also show how the results vary with respect to a variation of the decuplet coupling constant $h_A$. The momentum distributions of the fluctuations are given and the fluctuations' relative probabilities are presented. We show that for reasonable values of the cut-off parameter, the Delta-pion fluctuation is of the same strength as the nucleon-pion fluctuation.

We use the precision electroweak data at LEP to place bounds on $B$-violating Yukawa couplings, two theoretically appealing examples being provided by $R$-parity--violating supersymmetry and diquarks. The couplings involving the third generation quarks are most severely constrained. These bounds are complementary to those obtained from low-energy processes.

The radiative decays of the $(3/2)^+$ baryons are studied in the three flavor generalization of the Skyrme model. The kaon fields are treated in the slow rotator approach which properly accounts for the observed deviations from the $U$-spin relations for the hyperon magnetic moments. This makes possible a critical discussion of the $U$-spin selection rules for the radiative hyperon decays. The variation of the decay widths with strangeness is studied and a comparison with other treatments of the $SU(3)$ Skyrme model is performed in order to analyze the effects of flavor symmetry breaking.

A surprising consequence of non-linear flavor evolution is the spontaneous breaking of the initial symmetries of the neutrino gas propagating in a dense astrophysical environment. We explore the flavor conversion physics by taking into account the polar and azimuthal angular distributions of neutrinos and present the very first example of spontaneous symmetry breaking in the context of fast flavor mixing in the nonlinear regime. Intriguingly, we find that fast flavor mixing does not always develop in the proximity of the angular regions with vanishing electron lepton number, as commonly assumed, and large flavor mixing can rapidly spread through all neutrino modes. Such behavior cannot be predicted from the linear regime of the flavor evolution. These results can have major consequences on the physics of compact astrophysical objects.

We calculate the ratios R_{e/mu}^{(P)} = Gamma(P -> e nu)/Gamma (P -> mu nu) (P=pi,K) in Chiral Perturbation Theory to order e^2 p^4. We complement the one- and two-loop effective theory results with a matching calculation of the local counterterm, performed within the large-$N_C$ expansion. We find R_{e/mu}^{(\pi)} = (1.2352 \pm 0.0001)*10^{-4} and R_{e/mu}^{(K)} = (2.477 \pm 0.001)*10^{-5}, with uncertainty induced by the matching procedure and chiral power counting. Given the sensitivity of upcoming new measurements, our results provide a clean baseline to detect or constrain effects from weak-scale new physics in these rare decays. As a by-product, we also update the theoretical analysis of the individual pi/K -> \ell nu modes.

We study the scale at which one can generate the lepton asymmetry of the universe which could then get converted to a baryon asymmetry during the electroweak phase transition. We consider the possibility that the Yukawa couplings are small but sufficiently large to generate enough lepton asymmetry. This forbids the possibility of the $(B-L)$ breaking scale being the electroweak scale.

First, we make a short historical review of the (F)APT approach and then shortly describe the global scheme of FAPT which allows one to take into account heavy-quark thresholds. After that we show how it is possible to resum a non-power series in (F)APT both in the one- and two-loop approximations. As an application we suggest our analysis of the Higgs boson decay ${H^0\to b\bar{b}}$, important for the LHC program, and of the vector-current Adler function.

We show that warm inflation can be realized within a minimal extension of the Standard Model with three right-handed neutrinos, three complex scalars and a gauged lepton/B-L U(1) symmetry. This simple model can address all the shortcomings of the Standard Model that are not related to fine-tuning, within general relativity, with distinctive experimental signatures that can be probed in the near future. The inflaton field emerges from the collective breaking of the U(1) symmetry, and interacts with two of the right-handed neutrinos, sustaining a high-temperature radiation bath during inflation. The discrete interchange symmetry of the model protects the scalar potential against large thermal corrections and leads to a stable inflaton remnant at late times which can account for dark matter. Consistency of the model and agreement with Cosmic Microwave Background observations naturally yield light neutrino masses below 0.1 eV, while thermal leptogenesis occurs naturally after a smooth exit from inflation into the radiation era.

In most supersymmetric models the stability of the proton is ensured by invoking R-parity. A necessary ingredient to enforce R-parity is the possibility of distinguishing the lepton superfields from the Higgs ones. This is generally achieved either by assuming different charges under some matter parity, or by assigning the superfields to different representations of a unified gauge group. We want to put forward the idea that the replica of the fermion generations, which constitute an intrinsic difference between the fermions and the Higgs superfields, can give a clue to understand R-parity as an accidental symmetry. More ambitiously, we suggest a possible relation between proton stability and the actual number of fermion generations. We carry out our investigation in the framework of non-Abelian horizontal gauge symmetries. We identify $SU(4)_H$ as the only acceptable horizontal gauge group whichcan naturally ensure the absence of R parity violating operators, without conflicting with other theoretical and phenomenological constraints. We analyze a version of the supersymmetric standard model equipped with a gauged horizontal $SU(4)_H$, in which R-parity is accidental. The model predicts four families of fermions, it allows for the dynamical generation of a realistic hierarchy of fermion masseswithout any ad hoc choice of small Yukawa couplings, it ensures in a natural way the heaviness of all the fourth family fermions (including the neutrino) and it predicts a {\it lower} limit for the $\tau$-neutrino mass of a few eV. The scale of the breaking of the horizontal symmetry can be constrained rather precisely in a narrow window around $\sim 10^{11}$ GeV. Some interesting astrophysical and cosmological implications of the model are addressed as well.

In an endeavor to explain the light neutrino masses and dark matter (DM) simultaneously, we study a gauged $U(1)_{\rm B-L}$ extension of the standard model (SM). The neutrino masses are generated through a variant of type-II seesaw mechanism in which one of the scalar triplets has a mass in a scale that is accessible at the present generation colliders. Three SM singlet right chiral fermions $\chi_{iR}$($i=e,\mu,\tau$) with $\rm B-L$ charges -4, -4, +5 are invoked to cancel the $\rm B-L$ gauge anomalies and the lightest one among these three fermions becomes a viable DM candidate as their stability is guaranteed by a remnant $\mathcal Z_2$ symmetry to which $U(1)_{\rm B-L}$ gauge symmetry gets spontaneously broken. Interestingly in this scenario, the neutrino mass and the co-annihilation of DM are interlinked through the breaking of $U(1)_{\rm B-L}$ symmetry. Apart from giving rise to the observed neutrino mass and dark matter abundance, the model also predicts exciting signals at the colliders. Especially we see a significant enhancement in the production cross-section of the TeV scale doubly charged scalar in presence of the $Z_{\rm BL}$ gauge boson. We discuss all the relevant constraints on model parameters from observed DM abundance and null detection of DM at direct and indirect search experiments as well as the constraints on the $\rm B-L$ gauge boson from recent colliders.

We employ first-principles quantum field theoretical methods to investigate the longitudinal and transverse electrical conductivities of a strongly magnetized hot QED plasma at the leading order in coupling. The analysis utilized the fermion damping rate in the Landau-level representation obtained recently. In the relativistic regime, both conductivities exhibit an approximate scaling behavior given by $\sigma_{\parallel,\perp} = T \tilde{\sigma}_{\parallel,\perp}$, where $\tilde{\sigma}_{\parallel,\perp}$ are functions of the dimensionless ratio $|eB|/T^2$ (here $T$ denotes the temperature and $B$ the magnetic field). We argue that the mechanisms for the transverse and longitudinal conductivities differ significantly, leading to a strong suppression of the former in comparison to the latter. Additionally, we extend our analysis to a magnetized quark-gluon plasma, although the approximation's validity breaks down in QCD at strong coupling.

We perform a systematic comparison of the statistical model parametrization of hadron abundances measured in high energy pp, AA and e+e- collisions. The basic aim of the study is to test if the quality of the description depends on the nature of the collision process. In particular, we want to see if nuclear collisions, with multiple initial interactions, lead to "more thermal" average multiplicities than elementary pp collisions or e+e- annihilation. Such a comparison is meaningful only if it is based on data for the same or similar hadronic species and if the analyzed data has quantitatively similar errors. When these requirements are maintained, the quality of the statistical model description is found to be the same for the different initial collision configurations.

Exploration of the small $x$ kinematic region by the HERA experiments led to a revival of some models which existed before the advent of Quantum Chromo Dynamics (QCD) as the theory of the strong interactions. Predictions of these models for the deep inelastic structure functions are compared with those given by QCD. Future experiments will concentrate on the large $x$-region and we will discuss some issues which are important for the test of QCD. In particular we emphasize the next-to-next-to-leading (NNLO) order analysis of the structure functions and the determination of the strong coupling constant $\alpha_s$. We also make some critical remarks about the relevance of so called large corrections in the small and large $x$-region.

We propose a parton model of inelastic collisions at transplanckian energies E >> G^{-1/2}, using the gravitons, whose transverse momenta are cut at the Planck scale, as partons. For this purpose we represent the gravitational shock-wave accompanying the fast particle in terms of such partons and take into account the higher order multiperipheral-like contributions. We argue that the internal part of this shock plane contains the ``black'' disk of radius R(E) ~ E^{1/2} filled by such hard partons with the Planck density. When two fast particles collide the hard graviton production comes from the region of intersection of their black disks. The corresponding value of inclusive cross-section at the given rapidity and the impact parameter is proportional to the area of this region. The final state with such hard gravitons is unstable relative to the long range gravitational repulsion, and this leads to the creation of the multiperipheral chain of black holes at later stages of the reaction. We discuss various details of this picture including higher order corrections and there connection to a purely classical approach; we also consider briefly possible changes when additional hidden dimensions are present.

The extension of the standard model's minimal Higgs sector with an inert $SU(2)_L$ scalar doublet can provide light dark matter candidate and simultaneously induce a strong phase transition for explaining Baryogenesis. There is however no symmetry reasons to prevent the extension using scalars with higher $SU(2)_L$ representations. By making random scans over the models' parameters, we show that in the light of electroweak physics constraints, strong first order electroweak phase transition and the possibility of having sub-TeV cold dark matter candidate the higher representations are rather disfavored compared to the inert doublet. This is done by computing generic perturbativity behavior and impact on electroweak phase transitions of higher representations in comparison with the inert doublet model. Explicit phase transition and cold dark matter phenomenology within the context of the inert triplet and quartet representations are used for detailed illustrations.

Recent developments in the Standard Model analysis of semileptonic charged-current processes involving light quarks have revealed $\sim 3\sigma$ tensions in Cabibbo universality tests involving meson, neutron, and nuclear beta decays. In this paper, we explore beyond the Standard Model explanations of this so-called Cabibbo Angle Anomaly in the framework of the Standard Model Effective Field Theory (SMEFT), including not only low-energy charged current processes (`L'), but also electroweak precision observables (`EW') and Drell-Yan collider processes (`C') that probe the same underlying physics across a broad range of energy scales. The resulting `CLEW' framework not only allows one to test explanations of the Cabibbo Angle Anomaly, but is set up to provide near model-independent analyses with minimal assumptions on the flavor structure of the SMEFT operators. Besides the global analysis, we consider a large number of simpler scenarios, each with a subset of SMEFT operators, and investigate how much they improve upon the Standard Model fit. We find that the most favored scenarios, as judged by the Akaike Information Criterion, are those that involve right-handed charged currents. Additional interactions, namely oblique operators, terms modifying the Fermi constant, and operators involving right-handed neutral currents, play a role if the CDF determination of the $W$ mass is included in the analysis.

In this article I review some connections between flavor physics and collider physics. The first part discusses the effect of right-handed charged currents on the determination of the CKM elements V_ub. It is shown that such an effective right-handed W-coupling can be generated in the MSSM which would lead to a sizable enhancement of single-top production at the LHC. The second part of this article focuses on the constraints on the mass splitting between left-handed squarks from Kaon and D mixing. Such a mass splitting has interesting consequences for squark decay chains at colliders.

Supersymmetric models with bilinear R-parity violation (BRPV) can account for the observed neutrino masses and mixing parameters indicated by neutrino oscillation data. We consider minimal supergravity versions of BRPV where the lightest supersymmetric particle (LSP) is a neutralino. This is unstable, with a large enough decay length to be detected at the CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC). We analyse the LHC potential to determine the LSP properties, such as mass, lifetime and branching ratios, and discuss their relation to neutrino properties.

Under R-parity, the lightest supersymmetric particle (LSP) is stable and may serve as a good dark matter candidate. The R-parity can be naturally introduced with a gauge origin at TeV scale. We go over why a TeV scale B-L gauge extension of the minimal supersymmetric standard model (MSSM) is one of the most natural, if not demanded, low energy supersymmetric models. In the presence of a TeV scale Abelian gauge symmetry, the (predominantly) right-handed sneutrino LSP can be a good dark matter candidate. Its identification at the LHC is challenging because it does not carry any standard model charge. We show how we can use the correlation between the LHC experiments (dilepton resonance signals) and the direct dark matter search experiments (such as CDMS and XENON) to identify the right-handed sneutrino LSP dark matter in the B-L extended MSSM.

In a simple framework which naturally incorporates dark matter stability and neutrino phenomenology, we compute all the possible texture zeros which arise when the non-abelian flavor symmetry A4 is spontaneously broken to Z2. As a result, we obtain four textures with two vanishing matrix elements. Two of such textures predict a zero contribution to the neutrinoless double beta decay effective mass parameter at tree level, and as a one loop bound we get $m_{ee}<8\times 10^{-2}$ meV. These are compatible with the normal ordering for the neutrino masses and the allowed range for the lightest neutrino mass is between $m_{\nu_{min}}\sim3$ meV and $m_{\nu_{max}}\sim8$ meV. Additionally we obtain dark matter stability linked to the way the flavor symmetry is broken, leaving a residual Z2 symmetry

We calculate gluon and ghost propagators in Yang-Mills theory in linear covariant gauges. To that end, we utilize Nielsen identities with Landau gauge propagators and vertices as the starting point. We present and discuss numerical results for the gluon and ghost propagators for values of the gauge parameter $0<\xi \le 5$. Extrapolating the propagators to $\xi \to \infty $ we find the expected qualitative behavior. We provide arguments that our results are quantitatively reliable at least for values $\xi\lesssim 1/2$ of the gauge fixing parameter. It is shown that the correlation functions, and in particular the ghost propagator, change significantly with increasing gauge parameter. In turn, the ghost-gluon running coupling as well as the position of the zero crossing of the Schwinger function of the gluon propagator remain within the uncertainties of our calculation unchanged.

We consider the inclusive process where a pair of identified hadrons having large transverse momenta is produced in high-energy proton-proton collisions. We concentrate on the kinematics where the two identified hadrons in the final state are separated by a large interval of rapidity. In this case the cross section receives large higher-order corrections, which can be resummed in the BFKL approach. We provide a theoretical input for the resummation of such contributions with next-to-leading logarithmic accuracy. This process has much in common with the widely discussed Mueller-Navelet jets production and can be also used to access the BFKL dynamics at proton colliders.

We consider the inclusive process where a pair of identified hadrons having large transverse momenta is produced in high-energy proton-proton collisions. We concentrate on the kinematics where the two identified hadrons in the final state are separated by a large interval of rapidity. In this case the cross section receives large higher-order corrections, which can be resummed in the BFKL approach. We provide a theoretical input for the resummation of such contributions with next-to-leading logarithmic accuracy. This process has much in common with the widely discussed Mueller-Navelet jets production and can be also used to access the BFKL dynamics at proton colliders.

Attenuation effect is the effect of weakening of contributions to the oscillation signal from remote structures of matter density profile. The effect is a consequence of integration over the neutrino energy within the energy resolution interval. Structures of a density profile situated at distances larger than the attenuation length, $\lambda_{att}$, are not "seen". We show that the origins of attenuation are (i) averaging of oscillations in certain layer(s) of matter, (ii) smallness of matter effect: $\epsilon \equiv 2EV/\Delta m^2 \ll 1$, where $V$ is the matter potential, and (iii) specific initial and final states on neutrinos. We elaborate on the graphic description of the attenuation which allows us to compute explicitly the effects in the $\epsilon^2$ order for various density profiles and oscillation channels. The attenuation in the case of partial averaging is described. The effect is crucial for interpretation of oscillation data and for the oscillation tomography of the Earth with low energy (solar, supernova, atmospheric, {\it etc.}) neutrinos.

We study the scaling behavior of the two-flavor chiral phase transition using an effective quark-meson model. We investigate the transition between infinite-volume and finite-volume scaling behavior when the system is placed in a finite box. We can estimate effects that the finite volume and the explicit symmetry breaking by the current quark masses have on the scaling behavior which is observed in full QCD lattice simulations. The model allows us to explore large quark masses as well as the chiral limit in a wide range of volumes, and extract information about the scaling regimes.In particular, we find large scaling deviations for physical pion masses and significant finite volume effects for pion masses that are used in current lattice simulations.

The old issue of why there are more than one family of quarks and leptons is reinvestigated with an eye towards the use of anomaly as a tool for constraining the number of families. It is found that, by assuming the existence of right-handed neutrinos (which would imply that neutrinos will have a mass) and a new chiral SU(2) gauge theory, strong constraints on the number of families can be obtained. In addition, a model, based on that extra SU(2), is constructed where it is natural to have one "very heavy" fourth neutrino and three almost degenerate light neutrinos whose masses are all of the Dirac type.

In this paper, we compare several event classification architectures defined on the point cloud representation of collider events. These approaches, which are based on the frameworks of deep sets and edge convolutions, circumvent many of the difficulties associated with traditional feature engineering. To benchmark our architectures against more traditional event classification strategies, we perform a case study involving Higgs boson decays to tau leptons. We find a 2.5 times increase in performance compared to a baseline ATLAS analysis with engineered features. Our point cloud architectures can be viewed as simplified versions of graph neural networks, where each particle in the event corresponds to a graph node. In our case study, we find the best balance of performance and computational cost for simple pairwise architectures, which are based on learned edge features.

We explore the possibility of embedding the Pati-Salam model in the context of Type I brane models. We study a generic model with U(4)_C x U(2)_L x U(2)_R gauge symmetry and matter fields compatible with a Type I brane configuration. Examining the anomaly cancellation conditions of the surplus abelian symmetries we find an alternative hypercharge embedding that is compatible with a low string/brane scale of the order of 5-7 TeV, when the U(4)_C and U(2)_R brane stack couplings are equal. Proton stability is assured as baryon number is associated to a global symmetry remnant of the broken abelian factors. It is also shown that this scenario can accommodate an extra low energy abelian symmetry that can be associated to lepton number. The issue of fermion and especially neutrino masses is also discussed.

We compute the two-loop hard-thermal-loop (HTL) resummed thermodynamic potential for N=4 supersymmetric Yang-Mills (SYM). Our final result is manifestly gauge-invariant and was renormalized using only simple vacuum energy, gluon mass, scalar mass, and quark mass counter terms. The HTL mass parameters m_D, M_D, and m_q are then determined self-consistently using a variational prescription which results in a set of coupled gap equations. Based on this, we obtain the two-loop HTL-resummed thermodynamic functions of N=4 SYM. We compare our final result with known results obtained in the weak- and strong-coupling limits. We also compare to previously obtained approximately self-consistent HTL resummations and Pad\'e approximants. We find that the two-loop HTL resummed results for the scaled entropy density is a quantitatively reliable approximation to the scaled entropy density for 0 <= lambda <~ 2 and is in agreement with previous approximately self-consistent HTL resummation results for lambda <~ 6.

Two cases are considered: an isotropic and a cylindrically symmetric distribution. The energy loss is proportional to E^3 <B^2>; it becomes significant for protons of energies larger than about 10^19 eV and magnetic fields of about 10^9 Gauss. For energies and magnetic fields of this magnitude, a proton injected into the magnetic field loses a substantial fraction of its initial energy due to pion production.

The diffusion wake accompanying the jet-induced Mach cone provides a unique probe of the properties of quark-gluon plasma in high-energy heavy-ion collisions. It can be characterized by a depletion of soft hadrons in the opposite direction of the propagating jet. We explore the 3D structure of the diffusion wake induced by $\gamma$-triggered jets in Pb+Pb collisions at the LHC energy within the coupled linear Boltzmann transport and hydro model. We identify a valley structure caused by the diffusion wake on top of a ridge from the initial multiple parton interaction (MPI) in jet-hadron correlation as a function of rapidity and azimuthal angle. This leads to a double-peak structure in the rapidity distribution of soft hadrons in the opposite direction of the jets as an unambiguous signal of the diffusion wake. Using a two-Gaussian fit, we extract the diffusion wake and MPI contributions to the double peak. The diffusion wake valley is found to deepen with the jet energy loss as characterized by the $\gamma$-jet asymmetry. Its sensitivity to the equation of state and shear viscosity is also studied.

The model features inelastic 2 <-> 3 processes based on the Gunion-Bertsch matrix element and has recently been extended to include light quark degrees of freedom, allowing for direct comparison to hadronic data on the nuclear modification factor via a fragmentation scheme for high-pT partons. The nuclear modification factor of neutral pions in central Au+Au collisions at RHIC energy is compared to experimental data. Furthermore first results on the nuclear modification factor and the integrated elliptic flow of charged hadrons in Pb+Pb collisions at LHC are presented and compared to recent ALICE data.

We demonstrate that the higher-order correction to the wave function at origin can solve the nonconvergence problem. By employing the scaling relation, we simultaneously obtain the decay constants for beauty-charm mesons up to the three-loop accuracy and the hyperfine mass splitting in agreement with the experimental data. The perturbative predictions for the leptonic decays of the beauty-charm mesons shall provide a guide in ongoing and future precision heavy flavor experiments.

The impact of the resummed next-to-leading logarithmic small-$x$ contributions to the anomalous dimension $\gamma_{gg}$ is evaluated for the unpolarized parton densities and structure functions of the nucleon. These new terms diminish the gluon distribution and overcompensate the contribution caused by the resummed leading logarithmic small-$x$ anomalous dimension and the quarkonic anomalous dimensions beyond next-to-leading order.

We present FlexibleEFTHiggs, a method for calculating the SM-like Higgs pole mass in SUSY (and even non-SUSY) models, which combines an effective field theory approach with a diagrammatic calculation. It thus achieves an all order resummation of leading logarithms together with the inclusion of all non-logarithmic 1-loop contributions. We implement this method into FlexibleSUSY and study its properties in the MSSM, NMSSM, E6SSM and MRSSM. In the MSSM, it correctly interpolates between the known results of effective field theory calculations in the literature for a high SUSY scale and fixed-order calculations in the full theory for a sub-TeV SUSY scale. We compare our MSSM results to those from public codes and identify the origin of the most significant deviations between the DR-bar programs. We then perform a similar comparison in the remaining three non-minimal models. For all four models we estimate the theoretical uncertainty of FlexibleEFTHiggs and the fixed-order DR-bar programs thereby finding that the former becomes more precise than the latter for a SUSY scale above a few TeV. Even for sub-TeV SUSY scales, FlexibleEFTHiggs maintains the uncertainty estimate around 2-3 GeV, remaining a competitive alternative to existing fixed-order computations.

The possibility of a (sizable) nonperturbative contribution to the charm parton distribution function (PDF) in a nucleon is investigated together with theoretical issues arising in its interpretation. Results from the global PDF analysis are presented. The separation of the universal component of the nonperturbative charm from the rest of the radiative contributions is discussed and the potential impact of a nonperturbative charm PDF on LHC scattering processes is illustrated. An estimate of nonperturbative charm magnitude in the CT14 and CT14HERA2 global QCD analyses at the next-to-next-to leading order (NNLO) in the QCD coupling strength is given by including the latest experimental data from HERA and the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). A comparison between different models of intrinsic charm is shown and prospects for standard candle observables at the LHC are illustrated.

We report a project to study scalar particles by lattice QCD simulations. After a brief introduction of the current situation of lattice study of the sigma meson, we describe our numerical simulations of scalar mesons, $\sigma$ and $\kappa$. We observe a low sigma mass, $m_\pi<m_\sigma\le m_\rho$, for which the disconnected diagram plays an important role. For the kappa meson, we obtain higher mass than the experimental value, i.e., $m_\kappa\sim 2m_{K^*}$.

Contribution of cosmic strings generated after D-term inflation to the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) angular power spectrum can be as low as 10% and this also evade the spectral index problem.

By combining the Wigner function formalism of relativistic quantum kinetic theory with fundamental equations of relativistic magnetohydrodynamics (MHD), we present a novel approach to determine the proper time evolution of the temperature and other thermodynamic quantities in a uniformly expanding hot, magnetized, and weakly interacting plasma. The aim is to study the contribution of quantum corrections to this evolution. We first determine the corresponding Wigner function in terms of the solution of the Dirac equation in the presence of a constant magnetic field. Using this function, we then compute the energy-momentum tensor of the above-mentioned plasma, which eventually yields its energy density and pressure. Plugging these quantities in the energy equation of relativistic MHD, we arrive, after choosing an appropriate coordinate system, at a differential equation for the temperature as a function of the proper time. The numerical solution of this equation leads finally to the proper time evolution of the temperature. The latter is then used to determine the evolution of a large number of thermodynamic quantities in this expanding and magnetized plasma. We compare our results with other existing results from relativistic MHD. We also comment on the effect of point to point decaying magnetic fields on the thermodynamic properties of this plasma.

We address whether Pad\'e-summations of the $\bar{MS}$ QCD $\beta$-function for a given number of flavours exhibit an infrared-stable fixed point, or alternatively, an infrared attractor of a double valued couplant as noted by Kogan and Shifman for the case of supersymmetric gluodynamics. Below an approximant-dependent flavour threshold $(6 \leq n_f \leq 8)$, we find that Pad\'e-summation $\beta$-functions incorporating $[2|1], [1|2], [2|2], [1|3]$, and $[3|1]$ approximants always exhibit a positive pole prior to the occurrence of their first positive zero, precluding any identification of this first positive zero as an infrared-stable fixed point of the $\beta$- function. This result is shown to be true regardless of the magnitude of the presently-unknown five-loop $\beta$-function contribution. Moreover, the pole in question suggests the occurrence of dynamics in which both a strong and an asymptotically-free phase share a common infrared attractor. We briefly discuss the possible relevance of infrared-attractor dynamics to the success of recent calculations of the glueball mass spectra in QCD with $N_c \to \infty$ via supergravity. As $n_f$ increases above an approximant-dependent flavour threshold, Pad\'e-summation $\beta$-functions incorporating $[2|2], [1|3]$, and $[3|1]$ approximants exhibit dynamics controlled by an infrared-stable fixed point over a widening domain of the five-loop $\bar{MS}$ $\beta$-function parameter $(\beta_4/\beta_0)$. Above this threshold, all approximants considered exhibit infrared-stable fixed points that decrease in magnitude with increasing flavour number.

From data recently reported from the IceCube telescope, we derive new bounds on the monochromatic neutrino signal produced from dark matter particle decays. In the few TeV to tens of TeV energy range, these bounds turn out to be better than previous limits by more than an order of magnitude. As a result, intensity constraints on neutrino lines at energies above a few TeV are now comparable to those on gamma-ray lines. From the same data sample, we also perform a detailed search for a neutrino line, showing that there is no significant hint for such a signal.

We study gauge hierarchy problem of the Standard Model (SM) not by introducing new physics at the electroweak scale but by utilizing gravitational frames, frames generated by conformal transformations, as a renormalization medium. The essence of the naturalization mechanism is that a particular conformal transformation with respect to the Higgs field completely decouples Higgs from matter fields so that the terms causing quadratic divergences become genuine benign. In this frame, we analyze stability, unitarity and renormalizability of the interactions, and construct the effective $SM$ theory at the electroweak scale by taking into account the conformal anomalies. We scrutinize certain salient features of the framework, and discuss h -> gamma gamma decay as an application. The proposed mechanism naturalizes not only the SM but also its extensions if they involve no new mass scales and exhibit strict conformal invariance. The new physics thus forms a conformal field theory (CFT), and can involve additional fermion generations, extra gauge groups as well as all kinds of SM singlets. Certain phenomena, for instance, CP-violating Higgs sector, Dark Matter and Inflation, can be modeled with less free parameters. Scalar and vector singlets can directly interact with the SM spectrum, and can be searched for in certain scattering processes such as the invisible decays of the Higgs boson.

Furthermore, we present analytic formulae of the mixing angles and phases and discuss the RG effect on the different mixing parameters in the type II seesaw scenario. The renormalization group equations of the angles have a contribution which is proportional to the mass squared difference for a hierarchical spectrum.

We consider a right-handed scalar neutrino as the inflaton which carries a gravitational coupling with a supersymmetric QCD sector responsible for breaking supersymmetry dynamically. The framework suggests an inflaton potential which is a deformed version of the quadratic chaotic inflation leading to a flatter potential. We find that this deformation results a sizable tensor to scalar ratio which falls within the allowed region by PLANCK 2015. At the same time supersymmetry breaking at the end of inflation can naturally be induced in this set-up. The symmetries required to construct the framework allows the neutrino masses and mixing to be of right order.

A low mass Standard Model Higgs boson should be visible at the Large Hadron Collider through its production via gluon-gluon fusion and its decay to two photons. We compute the interference of this resonant process, gg -> H -> gamma gamma, with the continuum QCD background, gg -> gamma gamma induced by quark loops. Helicity selection rules suppress the effect, which is dominantly due to the imaginary part of the two-loop gg -> gamma gamma scattering amplitude. The interference is destructive, but only of order 5% in the Standard Model, which is still below the 10-20% present accuracy of the total cross section prediction. We comment on the potential size of such effects in other Higgs models.

In a consistent QCD approach to diffractive DIS gluons in the pomeron have soft $z_{g}$ distribution and very broad intrinsic $k_{\perp}$ distribution. The latter has not yet been incorporated into diffractive Monte-Carlo generators (RAPGAP,....).

In a consistent QCD approach to diffractive DIS gluons in the pomeron have soft $z_{g}$ distribution and very broad intrinsic $k_{\perp}$ distribution. The latter has not yet been incorporated into diffractive Monte-Carlo generators (RAPGAP,....). I argue that the so-introduced bias in the diffractive jet analysis may be the reason why H1 Collaboration finds the very large and hard gluon content of the pomeron. I discuss possible direct experimental determinations of intrinsic $k_{\perp}$ in the pomeron.

We calculate the cross section of J/psi plus prompt-photon inclusive production in gamma gamma collisions at next-to-leading order within the factorization formalism of nonrelativistic quantum chromodynamics (NRQCD) focusing on direct photoproduction. Apart from direct J/psi production, we also include the feed-down from directly-produced chi_{cJ} and psi' mesons. We discuss the analytical calculation, in particular the treatment of the various types of singularities and the NRQCD operator renormalization, in some detail. We present theoretical predictions for the future e^+e^- linear collider TESLA, taking into account both brems- and beamstrahlung.

The relationship between the pionium lifetime and the $\pi\pi$ scattering lengths is established, including the sizable electromagnetic corrections. The bound state formalism that is used is that of constraint theory which provides a covariant three-dimensional reduction of the Bethe--Salpeter equation. The framework of generalized chiral perturbation theory allows then an analysis of the lifetime value as a function of the $\pi\pi$ scattering lengths, the latter being dependent on the quark condensate value.

In our previous publication [1-3] it has been proven that the general iteration solution of the Shwinger-Dyson equation for the full gluon propagator (i.e., when the skeleton loop integrals, contributing into the gluon self-energy, have to be iterated, which means that no any truncations/approximations have been made) can be algebraically (i.e., exactly) decomposed as the sum of the two principally different terms. The first term is the Laurent expansion in integer powers of severe (i.e., more singular than $1/q^2$) infrared singularities accompanied by the corresponding powers of the mass gap and multiplied by the corresponding residues. The standard second term is always as much singular as $1/q^2$ and otherwise remaining undetermined. Here it is explicitly shown that the infrared renormalization of the mass gap only is needed to render theory free of all severe infrared singularities in the gluon sector. Moreover, this leads to the gluon confinement criterion in a gauge-invariant way. As a result of the infrared renormalization of the mass gap in the initial Laurent expansion, that is dimensionally regularized, the simplest severe infrared singularity $(q^2)^{-2}$ survives only. It is multiplied by the mass gap squared, which is the scale responsible for the large scale structure of the true QCD vacuum. The $\delta$-type regularization of the simplest severe infrared singularity (and its generalization for the multi-loop skeleton integrals) is provided by the dimensional regularization method correctly implemented into the theory of distributions. This makes it possible to formulate exactly and explicitly the full gluon propagator (up to its unimportant perturbative part).

The ANITA balloon experiment has recently observed several ~EeV cascade events at an angle below the horizon that renders any Standard Model (SM) interpretation unlikely as the Earth is significantly opaque to all SM particles at such energies. In this paper, we study a sterile neutrino interpretation of these events, calculating the angular acceptance of cascades and the relative sensitivities of several experiments to a cascade initiated by an EeV sterile neutrino. We find that ANITA is uniquely sensitive to this type of upward directed cascade signal over a wide portion of the sky and from the direction of the two observed events has a transient acceptance roughly equivalent to that of the IceCube experiment.

Accurate predictions for both signal and background events at the LHC are of paramount importance in order to confirm even the smallest deviations from Standard Model predictions. Next-to-leading order Monte Carlo event generators are an essential tool to reach that goal. Concerning the charged Higgs boson, NLO calculations of the production cross section already exist. Reiterating the calculation using a subtraction formalism enables us to implement the cross section into Monte Carlo generators, which can then be used by experiments.

We study the decay modes $\bar{B}_s\to \phi \pi^0$ and $\bar{B}_s\to \phi \rho^0$ within the frameworks of two-Higgs doublet models type-II and typ-III. We adopt in our study Soft Collinear Effective Theory as a framework for the calculation of the amplitudes. We derive the contributions of the charged Higgs mediation to the weak effective Hamiltonian governing the decay processes in both models. Moreover we analyze the effect of the charged Higgs mediation on the Wilson coefficients of the electrowek penguins and on the branching ratios of $\bar{B}_s\to \phi \pi^0$ and $\bar{B}_s\to \phi \rho^0$ decays. We show that wthin two-Higgs doublet models type-II and type-III the Wilson coefficients corresponding to the electroweak penguins can be enhanced due to the contributions from the charged Higgs mediation leading into enhancement in the branching ratios of $ \bar{B}_s\to \phi \pi^0$ and $\bar{B}_s\to \phi \rho^0 $ decays. We find that, within two-Higgs doublet models type-II, the enhancement in the branching ratio of $\bar{B}_s\to \phi \pi^0$ can not exceed $18\%$ with respect to the SM predictions. For the branching ratio of $\bar{B}_s\to \phi \rho^0$, we find that the charged Higgs contribution in this case is small where the branching ratio of $\bar{B}_s\to \phi \rho^0$ can be enhanced or reduced by about $4\% $ with respect to the SM predictions. For the case of the two-Higgs doublet models type-III we show that the branching ratio of $\bar{B}_s\to \phi \pi^0$ can be enhanced by about a factor $2$ of its value within two-Higgs doublet models type-II. However no sizable enhancement with respect to the SM predictions can be obtained for both $\bar{B}_s\to \phi \pi^0$ and $\bar{B}_s\to \phi \rho^0$ decays.

Presented here is a calculation of inelastic $J/\psi$ production in polarized photon-hadron collisions under the framework of NRQCD factorization formalism. We consider the photoproduction of $\jpsi$ in the energy range relevant to HERA. The Weizs\"acker-Williams approximation is adopted in the evaluation of the cross sections for $ep$ collisions. We found that this process can give another independent test for the color-octet mechanism, and the different features for the two color-octet processes may provide further informations on the mechanism for inelastic $\jpsi$ photoproduction. And the discrepancy on the production asymmetry $A$ between various sets of polarized gluon distribution functions is also found to be distinctive.

In experiments for direct dark matter searches, neutrinos coherently scattering off nuclei can produce similar events as Weakly Interacting Massive Particles (WIMPs). The calculated count rate for solar neutrinos in such experiments is a few events per ton-year. This count rate strongly depends on the nuclear recoil energy threshold achieved in the experiments for the WIMP search. We show that solar neutrinos can be a serious background source for direct dark matter search experiments using Ge, Ar, Xe and CaWO_4 as target materials. To reach sensitivities better than approximatly 10^-10 pb for the elastic WIMP nucleon spin-independent cross section in the zero-background limit, energy thresholds for nuclear recoils should be approximatly >2.05 keV for CaWO_4, >4.91 keV for Ge, >2.89 keV for Xe, and >8.62 keV for Ar as target material. Next-generation experiments should not only strive for a reduction of the present energy thresholds but mainly focus on an increase of the target mass. Atmospheric neutrinos limit the achievable sensitivity for the background-free direct dark matter search to approximatly >10^-12 pb.

The Regge limit in perturbative QCD for processes as DIS (low x) and photon or onia-particles scattering is considered. In the first part a phenomenological approach for the inclusion of the running coupling, preserving the gluon reggeization property, is analyzed. In particular the spectrum of the hard pomeron equation and the asymptotic form of the solution are used to study scattering processes with also inclusive jet production. The singlet part of the proton structure function is evolved towards the low x region according to the full equation. In the second part the problem of unitarity in the QCD is considered. Following the general Bartels approach the four reggeized gluon system is studied in the large number of colours limit. The interplay between double pomeron exchange and triple pomeron vertex contributions is studied. The conformal invariance of the three pomeron vertex is shown in terms of a building block function, and the coupling to pomerons has been considered to make contact with the colour dipole picture which presents a similar triple pomeron interaction. It is also shown that in the A.H. Mueller approach his equation for higher order colour dipole densities leads to solutions which can be represented as fan diagrams with only triple pomeron vertices. Finally we draw some conclusion and open problems.

In this thesis, we re-assess some aspects of axionic electrodynamics by coupling non-linear electromagnetic effects to axion physics. We present a number of motivations to justify the coupling of the axion to the photon in terms of a general non-linear extension of the electromagnetic sector. Our emphasis in the paper relies on the investigation of the constitutive permittivity and permeability tensors, for which the axion contribution introduces a dependence on the frequency and wave vector of the propagating radiation. Also, we point out how the axion mass and the axion-photon coupling constant contribute to a dispersive behavior of the electromagnetic waves, in contrast to what happens in the case of non-linear extensions, when effective refractive indices appear which depend only on the direction of the propagation with respect to the external fields. The axion changes this picture by yielding refractive indices with dependence on the wavelength. We apply our results to the special case of the Born-Infeld Electrodynamics and we show that it becomes birefringent whenever the axion is coupled. We also include in our analysis the Lorentz violation phenomenon through a Carroll-Field-Jackiw term, where we investigate the influence of this sector on the dispersion relations, and consequently, on the optical phenomena.

The factorization of short-distance partonic cross-sections from universal long-distance kinematic distributions is fundamental to phenomenology at hadron colliders. It has been predicted however that observables sensitive to momenta transverse to the direction of an energetic parton cannot be factorized in the usual way, even at high energies. It should be possible to study this factorization breaking using Z+jet production in high-energy proton-proton collisions by studying azimuthal correlations between a Z boson and associated charged hadrons. A plan to perform this measurement with data collected by LHCb will be discussed, along with related work.

By making use of a simple model that captures the key features of the anomalous Maxwell equations, we study the role of inhomogeneities on the evolution of magnetic fields in a chiral plasma. We find that inhomogeneities of the chiral asymmetry by themselves do not prevent the anomaly-driven inverse cascade and, as in the homogeneous case, the magnetic helicity is transferred from shorter to longer wavelength helical modes of the magnetic field. However, we also find that the evolution appears to be sensitive to the effects of diffusion. In the case when diffusion is negligible, the inverse cascade slows down considerably compared to the homogeneous scenario. In the case of the primordial plasma, though, we find that the diffusion is substantial and efficiently suppresses chiral asymmetry inhomogeneities. As a result, the inverse cascade proceeds practically in the same way as in the chirally homogeneous model.

Long-distance effects in exclusive rare semileptonic transitions B -> (K, K*) are analysed within a relativistic quark model. The meson transition form factors, describing the meson amplitudes of the effective weak Hamiltonian, are calculated within the dispersion formulation of the quark model as relativistic double spectral representations through the wave functions of the initial and final mesons. The dilepton spectra and lepton asymmetries are considered within the framework provided by the Standard Model. It is found that, while the non-resonant decay rates are very sensitive to quark model parameters, the model dependence of the predicted dilepton forward-backward and lepton polarization asymmetries is remarkably small, providing only an overall ~10% uncertainty.

The standard vacuum bounce formalism suffers from inconsistencies when applied to thermal bubble nucleation, for which ad hoc workarounds are commonly adopted. Identifying the length scales on which nucleation takes place, we demonstrate how the construction of an effective description for these scales naturally resolves the problems of the standard vacuum bounce formalism. Further, by utilising high-temperature dimensional reduction, we make a connection to classical nucleation theory. This offers a clear physical picture of thermal bubble nucleation, as well as a computational framework which can then be pushed to higher accuracy. We demonstrate the method for three qualitatively different quantum field theories.

We propose, for the computation of the Higgs mass spectrum and couplings, a renormalization-group improved leading-log approximation, where the renormalization scale is fixed to the top-quark pole mass. For the case $m_A\sim M_{\rm SUSY}$, our leading-log approximation differs by less than 2 GeV from previous results on the Higgs mass computed using a nearly scale independent renormalization-group improved effective potential up to next-to-leading order. Moreover, for the general case $m_A\simlt M_{\rm SUSY}$, we provide analytical formulae (including two-loop leading-log corrections) for all the masses and couplings in the Higgs sector. For $M_{\rm SUSY}\simlt 1.5$ TeV and arbitrary values of $m_A$, $\tan\beta$ and the stop mixing parameters, they reproduce the numerical renormalization-group improved leading-log result for the Higgs masses with an error of less than 3 GeV. For the Higgs couplings, our analytical formulae reproduce the numerical results equally well. Comparison with other methods is also performed.

Several models of dark matter suggest the existence of hidden sectors consisting of SU(3)_C x SU(2)_L x U(1)_Y singlet fields. The interaction between the ordinary and hidden sectors could be transmitted by new Abelian U'(1) gauge bosons A' (dark or hidden photons) mixing with ordinary photons. If such A's have masses below the \pi^0 meson mass, they would be produced through \gamma - A' mixing in the \pi^0 ->2\gamma - decays and be observed via their decays A' -> e+e- in a detector. Using bounds from the SINDRUM experiment at the Paul Scherrer Institute that searched for an excess of e+e- pairs in \pi^- p interactions at rest, the area excluding the \gamma - A' mixing \epsilon > 10^{-3} for the A' mass region 25 < M_{A'} < 120 MeV is derived.

We analyze the new threshold data for neutral pion photoproduction off protons in the framework of heavy baryon chiral perturbation theory. We show that large loop corrections are needed to understand the S--wave multipole $E_{0+}$ and that all pertinent low--energy constants can be understood within the framework of resonance exchange saturation. Previous inconsistencies in the description of this reaction in the threshold region are resolved.

We study the finite temperature electroweak transition with non-perturbative lattice Monte Carlo simulations. We find that it is of first order, at least for Higgs masses up to 80 GeV. The critical temperature of the phase transition is found to be smaller than that determined by a 2-loop renormalization group improved effective potential. The jump of the order parameter at the critical temperature is considerably larger than the perturbative value. By comparing lattice data and perturbation theory, we demonstrate that the latter, for the computation of the vacuum expectation value of the Higgs field $v(T)$ in the broken phase at given temperature, converges quite well, provided $v(T)/T>1$. An upper bound on the Higgs mass necessary for electroweak baryogenesis in the light of the lattice data is briefly discussed.

After considering uncertainties of the data and the ratio r of penguin over tree amplitude, we found that strong constraint on both the CKM angle alpha and the strong phase delta can be obtained from the measured CP asymmetries S_{pi pi} and A_{pi pi}: (a) the ranges of 87 degrees <= alpha <= 131 degrees and 36 degrees <= delta <= 144 degrees are allowed by 1 sigma of the averaged data for r = 0.31; (b) for Belle's result alone, the limits on alpha and delta are 104 degrees <= alpha <= 139 degrees and 42 degrees <= delta <= 138 degrees for 0.32 <= r <= 0.41; and (c) the angle alpha larger than 90 degrees is preferred.

We present the studies of the decays $B\to a_1(1260) \pi$ and $a_1(1260) K$ within the framework of QCD factorization. Due to the G-parity, unlike the vector meson, the chiral-odd two-parton light-cone distribution amplitudes of the $a_1$ are antisymmetric under the exchange of quark and anti-quark momentum fractions in the SU(2) limit. The branching ratios for $a_1 \pi$ modes are sensitive to tree--penguin interference. The resultant ${\cal B}(B^0 \to a_1^\pm \pi^\mp)$ are in good agreement with the data. However, using the current Cabibbo--Kobayashi--Maskawa angles, $\beta=22.0^\circ$ and $\gamma=59.0^\circ$, our results for the mixing-induced parameter $S$ and $\alpha_{\rm eff}$ differ from the measurements of the time-dependent CP asymmetries in the decay $B^0\to a_1^\pm \pi^\mp$ at about the $3.7\sigma$ level. This puzzle may be resolved by using a larger $\gamma \gtrsim 80^\circ$. For $a_1 K$ modes, the annihilation topologies give sizable contributions and are sensitive to the first Gegenbauer moment of the leading-twist tensor (chiral-odd) distribution amplitude of the $a_1$ meson. The $B\to a_1 K$ amplitudes resemble the corresponding $B\to \pi K$ ones very much. Taking the ratios of corresponding CP-averaged $a_1 K$ and $\pi K$ branching ratios, we can extract information relevant to the electroweak penguins and annihilations. The existence of new-physics in the electroweak penguin sector and final state interactions during decays can thus be explored.

Under a constituent quark model, we carry out numerical calculations to obtain the spectra of both electric gluon and magnetic gluon hybrid quarkonia. We see that the ground state of a magnetic gluon hybrid charmonium and the first excited state of an electric gluon hybrid are comparable in energy to $ \psi(4415) $ and that the first excited states of an electric gluon hybrid bottomonium and the ground state of a magnetic gluon hybrid appear a few hundred MeV above the mass of $ \Upsilon (10860 ) $. Also, we evaluate the widths of the decays of a hybrid charmonium into $D^{(*)} \bar{D}^{(*) } $ and those of a hybrid bottomonium into $ B^{(*) } \bar{B}^{(* ) } $. We show that if the exotic meson candidates are hybrid charmonia, then they are magnetic gluon ones and argue that it seems unlikely that $ \Upsilon (10860) $ is the ground state of an electric gluon hybrid bottomonium.

Neutralino proton cross sections are examined for models with R-parity invariance with universal soft breaking (mSUGRA) models, nonuniversal SUGRA models, and D-brane models. The region of parameter space where current dark matter detectors are sensitive, i.e. $1\times 10^{-6}$ pb, is examined. For mSUGRA models, detectors are sampling parts of the parametr space for tan$\beta >\sim 25$. The nonuniversal models can achieve cross sections that are a factor of 10-100 bigger or smaller then the universal one and in the former case sample regions tan$\beta >\sim 4$. The D-brane models considered require tan$\beta >\sim 15$. The inclusion of CP violating phases reduces the cross section by a factor of $\sim$ 2-3 (but also requires considerable fine tuning at the GUT scale). The expected particle spectra at accelerators are examined and seen to differ for each model. Three new regions of possible coannihilation are noted.

We obtain the equations of motion for cosmic strings in extensions of the 3+1 FRW model with extra dimensions. From these we derive a generalisation of the Velocity-dependent One-Scale (VOS) model for cosmic string network evolution which we apply, first, to a higher-dimensional isotropic $D+1$ FRW model and, second, to a 3+1 FRW model with static flat extra dimensions. In the former case the string network does not achieve a scaling regime because of the diminishing rate of string intersections ($D>3$), but this can be avoided in the latter case by considering compact, small extra dimensions, for which there is a reduced but still appreciable string intercommuting probability. We note that the velocity components lying in the three expanding dimensions are Hubble-damped, whereas those in the static extra dimensions are only very weakly damped. This leads to the pathological possibility, in principle, that string motion in the three infinite dimensions can come to a halt preventing the strings from intersecting, with the result that scaling is not achieved and the strings irreversibly dominate the early universe. We note criteria by which this can be avoided, notably if the spatial structure of the network becomes essentially three-dimensional, as is expected for string networks produced in brane inflation. Applying our model to a brane inflation setting, we find scaling solutions in which the effective 3D string motion does not necessarily stop, but it is slowed down because of the excitations trapped in the extra dimensions. These effects are likely to influence cosmic string network evolution for a long period after formation and we discuss their more general implications.

We discuss a nonfactorizable (NF) contribution of a charm loop to the FCNC $B$-decay amplitude given through the three-particle Bethe-Salpeter amplitude (3BS) of the $B$-meson. This 3BS contains one heavy-quark field and two light fields (a light quark and a gluon). Our discussion is aimed at clarifying properties of the $B$-meson 3BS necessary to describe properly charm-loop contributions to the amplitudes of FCNC $B$-decays. We demonstrate that the dominant contribution of nonfactorizable charm to FCNC $B$-decay amplitude is given in the heavy-quark limit by a convolution of some hard kernel and the $B$-meson 3BS in a "double-collinear" light cone (LC) configuration: one of the light degrees of freedom $\phi(x)$, $x^2=0$, lies on the $(+)$-direction of the LC, whereas another light degree of freedom $\phi'(x')$, $x'^2=0$ lies on the $(-)$-direction. We show the emergence of new constraints on the distribution amplitudes which parametrize the 3BS in this double-collinear configuration.

Heavy flavor supplies a chance to constrain and improve the hadronization mechanism. We have established a sequential coalescence model with charm conservation and applied it to the charmed hadron production in heavy ion collisions. The charm conservation enhances the earlier hadron production and suppresses the later production. This relative enhancement (suppression) changes significantly the ratios between charmed hadrons in heavy ion collisions.

In this talk we propose a natural double inflation model in supergravity. Chaotic inflation first takes place by virtue of the Nambu-Goldstone-like shift symmetry. During chaotic inflation, an initial value of second inflation (new inflation) is set, which is adequately far from the local maximum of the potential due to the small linear term in the K\"ahler potential. Then, primordial fluctuations within the present horizon scale may be produced during both inflations. Primordial fluctuations responsible for anisotropies of the cosmic microwave background radiation and the large scale structure are produced during chaotic inflation, while fluctuations on smaller scales are produced during new inflation. Because of the peculiar nature of new inflation, they can become as large as $10^{-1}$-$10^{-2}$, which may lead to the formation of primordial black holes.

Considerations of massive neutrinos, baryogenesis as well as fermion mass textures in the grand unified theory framework provide strong motivations for supersymmetric(SUSY) SO(10) as the theory beyond the standard model. If one wants to simultaneously solve the strong CP problem via the Peccei-Quinn mechanism, the most natural way to implement it within the framework of the SUSY SO(10) model is to have an intermediate scale ($v_{BL}$) (corresponding to B-L symmetry breaking) around the invisible axion scale of about 10$^{11}$ - 10$^{12}$ GeV. Such a scale is also desirable if $\nu_{\tau}$ is to constitute the hot dark matter (HDM) of the universe. In this paper, we discuss examples of superstring inspired SUSY SO(10) models with intermediate scales that are consistent with the low energy precision measurements of the standard model gauge couplings. The hypothesis of $b-\tau$ unification which is a successful prediction of many grand unified theories is then required of these models and the resulting prediction of $b$-quark mass is used as a measure of viability of these schemes. Detailed analysis of a model with a $v_{BL}\simeq 10^{11}$ GeV, which satisfies both the requirements of invisible axion and $\nu_{\tau}$ as HDM is presented and shown to lead to $m_b\simeq 4.9$ GeV in the one-loop approximation.

The gluon recombination functions in the twist-4 QCD evolution equations are studied at the leading logarithmic approximation using both the covariant and non-covariant methods. We justify that the infrared singularities in the twist-4 coefficient functions impede us to simply separate the QCD evolution kernels from the coefficient functions at the equivalent particle approximation. In particulary, we point out that the gluon recombination functions in the GLR-MQ evolution equation are unavailable. The methods avoiding the IR divergences are discussed, which can be used in the derivations of the evolution kernels and coefficient functions at the higher twist level.

The decay width of Z boson is evaluated and the S and T parameters are discussed.

We investigate the azimuthal asymmetry v2 of produced pions in pp and pA collisions at both RHIC and SPS energies. In our approach, based on the pQCD parton model and the light-cone QCD-dipole formalism, the azimuthal asymmetry results from a correlation between the color-dipole orientation and the impact parameter of the collision. We introduce the color-dipole orientation within an improved Born approximation and the saturation model which satisfies available DIS data, showing that the azimuthal asymmetry of partons and pions is very sensitive to the choice of the model, and that it is reduced in the saturation model. We find that v2 of quarks and gluons in parton-nucleus collisions have very different patterns. The azimuthal asymmetry of gluons in gluon-nucleus collisions can be negative at small transverse momentum, changes the sign and becomes positive at high transverse momentum. The azimuthal asymmetry of quarks in quark-nucleus collisions is positive at all values of transverse momentum. We find that the azimuthal anisotropy v2 of produced pions in both pp and pA collisions is positive, albeit rather small.
