The notion of sterile neutrinos is discussed. The schemes of mixing of four massive neutrinos, which imply the existence of sterile neutrinos, are briefly considered. Several model independent methods that allow to reveal possible transitions of solar neutrinos into sterile states are presented.

We summarize the potential charged lepton flavor violation (LFV) from neutrino mass relevant models, for instance the seesaw mechanisms. In particular, we study, in a model-dependent way, the LFV signals at the high-energy hadron and lepton colliders originating from the beyond standard model (BSM) neutral scalar $H$, doubly charged scalar $H^{\pm\pm}$, heavy neutrino $N$, heavy $W_R$ boson, and the $Z'$ boson. For the neutral scalar, doubly charged scalar and $Z'$ boson, the LFV signals originate from the (effective) LFV couplings of these particles to the charged leptons, while for the heavy neutrino $N$ and $W_R$ boson, the LFV effects are from flavor mixing in the neutrino sector. We consider current limits on these BSM particles and estimate their prospects at future high-energy hadron and lepton colliders.

I give an introduction to the theory of preasymptotic effects based on the systematic OPE/HQET expansion in $1/m_Q$ where $m_Q$ is the heavy quark mass. The general idea is explained in two most instructive examples, with an emphasis on pedagogical aspects. Some important results of the last year are reviewed. In discussing the issue of the quark-hadron duality, one of the basic ingredients of the theory, I prove that the operator product expansion {\em per se} is an asymptotic expansion. The behavior of the high order terms in this expansion determines the onset of duality and the accuracy of the duality relations. The factorial divergence of the high-order terms in OPE implies a sophisticated analytical structure in the $\alpha_s$ plane, with terms of the type $\exp [-\exp (1/\alpha_s )]$.

We analyze the parametric space of the constrained minimal supersymmetric standard model (CMSSM) with mu>0 supplemented by a generalized asymptotic Yukawa coupling quasi-unification condition which yields acceptable masses for the fermions of the third family. We impose constraints from the cold dark matter abundance in the universe and its direct detection experiments, the B-physics, as well as the masses of the sparticles and the lightest neutral CP-even Higgs boson, m_h. We identify two distinct allowed regions with M_{1/2}>m_0 and m_0>>M_{1/2} classified in the hyperbolic branch of the radiative electroweak symmetry breaking. In the first region we obtain, approximately, 44<=tan beta<=52, -3<=A_0/M_{1/2}<=0.1, 122<=m_h/GeV<=127, and mass of the lightest sparticle in the range (0.75-1.43) TeV. Such heavy lightest sparticle masses can become consistent with the cold dark matter requirement on the lightest sparticle relic density thanks to neutralino-stau coannihilations. In the latter region, fixing m_h to its central value from the LHC, we find a wider allowed parameter space with milder electroweak-symmetry-breaking fine-tuning, 40<=tanbeta<=50, -11<=A_0/M_{1/2}<=15 and mass of the lightest sparticle in the range (0.09-1.1) TeV. This sparticle is possibly detectable by the present cold dark matter direct search experiments.

In connection with the problem of dark matter, we discuss recent results on constraining the parameters of axion-to-nucleon interaction following from the experiment on measuring the difference of Casimir forces. It is shown that this experiment not only leads to competitive constraints, but provides stronger support to other constraints obtained in Casimir physics so far. The description of dark energy by means of cosmological constant originated from the quantum vacuum is considered in terms of the renormalization procedures in quantum field theory. It is argued that only the renormalized value of cosmological constant directly connected with the observed density of dark energy is of physical significance, so that some statements in the literature concerning the vacuum catastrophe may be considered as an exaggeration.

Recent BaBaR data on the pion transition form factor, whose Q^2 dependence is much steeper then predicted by asymptotic Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD), have caused a renewed interest in its theoretical description. We present here a formalism based on a model independent low energy description and a high energy description based on QCD, which match at a scale Q_0. The high energy description incorporates a flat pion distribution amplitude, phi(x)=1, at the matching scale Q_0 and QCD evolution from Q_0 to Q>Q_0. The flat pion distribution is connected, through soft pion theorems and chiral symmetry, to the pion valance parton distribution at the same low scale Q_0. The procedure leads to a good description of the data, and incorporating additional twist three effects, to an excellent description of the data.

We study how leptogenesis can be implemented in a seesaw model with $S_4$ flavor symmetry, which leads to the neutrino tri-bimaximal mixing matrix and degenerate right-handed (RH) neutrino spectrum. Introducing a tiny soft $S_4$ symmetry breaking term in the RH neutrino mass matrix, we show that the flavored resonant leptogenesis can be successfully realized, which can lower the seesaw scale much so as to make it possible to probe in colliders. Even though such a tiny soft breaking term is essential for leptogenesis, it does not significantly affect the low energy observables. We also investigate how the effective light neutrino mass $|<m_{ee}> |$ associated with neutrinoless double beta decay can be predicted along with the neutrino mass hierarchies by imposing experimental data of low-energy observables. We find a direct link between leptogenesis and neutrinoless double beta decay characterized by $|<m_{ee}>|$ through a high energy CP phase $\phi$, which is correlated with low energy Majorana CP phases. It is shown that our predictions of $|<m_{ee}>|$ for some fixed parameters of high energy physics can be constrained by the current observation of baryon asymmetry.

The minimum seesaw model with two right-handed neutrinos is considered, where the lightest neutrino is naturally massless. Instead of adopting texture zeros in the lepton Yukawa matrices, which cause both theoretical and experimental troubles, here we propose two-$\boldsymbol\epsilon$ textures, where $\boldsymbol\epsilon$ is a small number. Combined with neutrino oscillation experimental data, we find that a large CP angle is preferred for the normal neutrino mass order. In contrast, the CP angle almost vanishes for the inverted order. This can be well-tested in near-future experiments, such as Hyper-Kamiokande. Besides, the predicted effective Majorana neutrino mass $m_{ee}$ and the total neutrino mass $\sum m^\nu_i$ are also within reach of ongoing or future experiments.

Motivated by several recent data, we test the QCD spectral sum rules (QSSR) predictions based on different proposals (\bar qq, \bar q\bar q qq, and gluonium) for the nature of scalar mesons. In the I=1 and 1/2 channels, the unusual (wrong) splitting between the a_0(980) and \kappa(900) and the a_0(980) width can be understood from QSSR within a \bar qq assignement. However, none of the \bar qq and \bar q\bar q qq results can explain the large \kappa width, which may suggest that it can result from a strong interference with non-resonant backgrounds. In the I=0 channel, QSSR and some low-energy theorems (LET) require the existence of a low mass gluonium \sigma_B(1 GeV) coupled strongly to Goldstone boson pairs which plays in the U(1)_V channel, a similar role than the \eta' for the value of the U(1)_A topological charge. The observed \sigma(600) and f_0(980) mesons result from a maximal mixing between the gluonium \sigma_B and \bar qq(1 GeV) mesons, a mixing scheme which passes several experimental tests. OZI violating J/\psi--> \phi\pi^+\pi^-, D_s--> 3\pi decays and J/\psi--> \gamma S glueball filter processes may indicate that most of the I=0 mesons above 1 GeV have important gluonium in their wave functions. We expect that the f_0(1500), f_0(1710) and f_0(1790) have significant gluonium component in their wave functions, while the f_0(1370) is mostly \bar qq. Tests of these results can be provided by the measurements of the pure gluonium \eta'\eta and 4\pi specific U(1)_A decay channels.

In this work we study the $D^*$ and $D$ multiplicities and how they change during the hadron gas phase of heavy ion collisions. With the help of an effective Lagrangian formalism, we calculate the production and absorption cross sections of the $D^*$ and $D$ mesons in a hadronic medium. We compute the time evolution of the abundances and the ratio $D^* /D$. They are approximately constant in time. Also, assuming a Bjorken type cooling and using an empirical relation between the freeze-out temperature and the central multiplicity density, we estimate $D^* /D$ as a function of $ dN /d \eta (\eta =0)$, which represents the system size. We find that, while the number of $D^*$'s and $D$'s grows significantly with the system size, their ratio remains approximately constant. This prediction can be compared with future experimental data. Our results suggest that the charm meson interactions in the hadron gas do not change their multiplicities and consequently these mesons are close to chemical equilibrium.

A Dirac fermion is expressed by a 4 component spinor which is a combination of two quaternions and which can be treated as an octonion. The octonion possesses the triality symmetry, which defines symmetry of fermion spinors and bosonic vector fields. The triality symmetry relates three sets of spinors and two sets of vectors, which are transformed among themselves via transformations $G_{23}, G_{12}, G_{13}$, $G_{123}$ and $G_{132}$. If the electromagnetic (EM) interaction is sensitive to the triality symmetry, i.e. EM probe selects one triality sector, EM signals from the 5 transformed world would not be detected, and be treated as the dark matter. According to an astrophysical measurement, the ratio of the dark to ordinary matter in the universe as a whole is almost exactly 5. We expect quarks are insensitive to the triality, and triality will appear as three times larger flavor degrees of freedom in the lattice simulation.

To make progress in learning the underlying fundamental theory, it will be necessary to combine bottom-up phenomenology and top-down analysis -- in particular, top-down is unlikely to succeed alone. Here I elaborate on the role of both, and describe obstacles that need to be overcome to help data point toward the underlying theory, as well as approaches that might help to bypass full systematic treatments. I also summarize arguments that superpartners are probably being produced at the Tevatron Collider.

Non-Abelian family symmetries offer a very promising explanation for the flavour structure in the Standard Model and its extensions. We explore the possibility that dark matter consists in fermions that transform under a family symmetry, such that the visible and dark sector are linked by the familons - Standard Model gauge singlet scalars, responsible for spontaneously breaking the family symmetry. We study three representative models with non-Abelian family symmetries that have been shown capable to explain the masses and mixing of the Standard Model fermions. One of our central results is the possibility to have dark matter fermions and at least one familon with masses on and even below the experimentally accessible TeV scale. In particular we discuss the characteristic signatures in collider experiments from light familon Fields with a non-Abelian family symmetry, and we show that run I of the LHC is already testing this class of models.

New physics beyond the Standard Model can lead to extra matter effects on neutrino oscillation if the new interactions distinguish among the three flavors of neutrino. In a previous paper, we argued that a long-baseline neutrino oscillation experiment in which the Fermilab-NUMI beam in its high-energy mode is aimed at the planned Hyper-Kamiokande detector would be capable of constraining the size of those extra effects, provided the vacuum value of \sin^2 2\theta_{23} is not too close to one. In this paper, we discuss how such a constraint would translate into limits on the coupling constants and masses of new particles in various models. The models we consider are: models with generation distinguishing Z's such as topcolor assisted technicolor, models containing various types of leptoquarks, R-parity violating SUSY, and extended Higgs sector models. In several cases, we find that the limits thus obtained could be competitive with those expected from direct searches at the LHC. In the event that any of the particles discussed here are discovered at the LHC, then the observation, or non-observation, of their matter effects could help in identifying what type of particle had been observed.

Both 2q and 4q correlators of $\sigma$ quanta are analyzed with $1/N_c$ separation of the instanton, glueball, and in particular, two meson scattering states. The {\it bare} resonance pole with no mixing effects are studied with the QCD sum rules (QSR). The bare mass relation for large $N_c$ mesons, $m_{\rho}<m_{4q}^{I=J=0}<m_{2q}^{I=J=0}$, is derived. The firm theoretical ground of the QSR at the leading $1/N_{c}$ analyses is also emphasized.

We present a framework of dark- and visible-sector unification in the E6 embedding of the standard model. The demand for consistently getting the standard model leads to the existence of the dark-sector. We show that the hierarchy of vevs typifying unified models leads to multicomponent dark matter at the IR. The symmetry breaking itself categorises the matter content into dark- and visible-sector particles, the categorisation being uniform across different breaking chains. We discuss the stability of the dark matter particles and compare them to existing phenomenological models of dark matter. The central results follow from symmetry and hierarchy arguments. We present an indicative set of models of gauge coupling unification, to show that the framework can be embedded in realistic models of E6.

The form factors for the $B-->\pi$ transition are evaluated in the entire momentum transfer range by using the constraints obtained in the framework combining the heavy quark expansion and chiral symmetry for light quarks and the quark model. In particular, we calculate the valence quark contributions and show that it together with the equal time commutator contribution simulate a B-meson pole q^2-dependence of form factors in addition to the usual vector meson B^{*}-pole diagram for $B --> \pi l\nu$ in the above framework. We discuss the predictions in our model, which provide an estimate of |V_{ub}|^2.

In the full effective potential (EFP) approach, we find that spontaneous symmetry breaking (SSB) can, with the convexity of the full EFP, lead to the prediction of the IR confinement of Higgs particles, adding difficulty to the experimental identification of Higgs particles. The short distance behaviors remain intact. The whole presentation is given in the understanding that any QFT becomes UV well defined in a more complete underyling theory according to a recently proposed strategy.

One can use more than one scale variable to define the family of surfaces in the space of parton splitting parameters that define the evolution of a parton shower. In an earlier paper, we developed this idea for electron-positron annihilation. Here, we use multiple scale variables for a parton shower with initial state partons. Then we need a more sophisticated analysis because the evolution of parton distribution functions must be coordinated with the parton shower evolution. We make the needed connections more precise than in our earlier work, even for the case of just one scale variable. Then we develop an example with three scale variables, which leads to advantages compared to the usual shower formulation with only one scale variable. We provide results for Drell-Yan muon pair production.

We found that not only the unparticle parameters that belong to the flavor changing neutral current (FCNC) processes but also scaling dimension d_{\UP} could be constrained by the B_{d,s}-\bar B_{d,s} mixing phenomenology. Employing the minimum \chi^2 analysis to the B_{u,d}\to (\pi, K) \pi decays with the constraints of B_{d,s} mixing, we find that the puzzle of large branching ratio for B_{d}\to \pi^0 \pi^0 and the discrepancy between the standard model estimation and data for the direct CP asymmetry of B^+ \to K^+ \pi^0 and B_d \to \pi^+\pi^- can be resolved well.

We present calculations of the $S$-wave isospin-zero and isospin-two pion-pion scattering lengths within a nucleon-meson model with parity doubling. Both scattering lengths are computed in various approximations, ranging from a mean-field (MF) calculation towards the inclusion of loop corrections by means of the functional renormalization group (FRG). The bosonic part of the investigated nucleon-meson model is formulated in terms of stereographic projections as a "natural" set of coordinates on the respective vacuum manifold. We thereby elucidate subtleties concerning the truncation of the effective action w.r.t. higher-derivative pion interactions and the "successful" computation of the scattering lengths. As the main result, we find simultaneous agreement for the isospin-zero and isospin-two scattering lengths with experimental data within the $\mathrm{LPA}^{\prime}$-truncation of the FRG, together with chiral symmetry breaking (roughly) occurring at the characteristic scale of $4\pi f_{\pi}$. The isoscalar $\sigma$-mass is dynamically generated by the FRG integration of momentum modes, and is a prediction of the model. It ends being of the order of $500\ \mathrm{MeV}$, i.e., much lower than the value ($> 1\ \mathrm{GeV}$) found in MF or one-loop treatment of this or related models. Finally, the convergence of the corresponding low-energy expansion of the quantum effective action in terms of pion momenta is discussed.

We thereby elucidate subtleties concerning the truncation of the effective action w.r.t. higher-derivative pion interactions and the "successful" computation of the scattering lengths. As the main result, we find simultaneous agreement for the isospin-zero and isospin-two scattering lengths with experimental data within the $\mathrm{LPA}^{\prime}$-truncation of the FRG, together with chiral symmetry breaking (roughly) occurring at the characteristic scale of $4\pi f_{\pi}$. The isoscalar $\sigma$-mass is dynamically generated by the FRG integration of momentum modes, and is a prediction of the model. It ends being of the order of $500\ \mathrm{MeV}$, i.e., much lower than the value ($> 1\ \mathrm{GeV}$) found in MF or one-loop treatment of this or related models. Finally, the convergence of the corresponding low-energy expansion of the quantum effective action in terms of pion momenta is discussed.

Parameters of the heavy four-quark scalar meson $T_{\mathrm{2bc}}=bc \overline{b}\overline{c}$ are calculated by means of the sum rule method. This structure is considered as a diquark-antidiquark state built of scalar diquark and antidiquark components. The mass and current coupling of $T_{ \mathrm{2bc}}$ are evaluated in the context of the two-point sum rule approach. The full width of this tetraquark is estimated by taking into account two types of its possible strong decay channels. First class includes dissociation of $T_{\mathrm{2bc}}$ to mesons $\eta_c\eta_{b}$, $ B_{c}^{+}B_{c}^{-}$, $B_{c}^{\ast +}B_{c}^{\ast -}$ and $ B_{c}^{+}(1^3P_{0})B_{c}^{\ast-}$. Another type of processes are generated by annihilations $\overline{b}b \to \overline{q}q$ of constituent $b$-quarks which produces the final-state charmed meson pairs $D^{+}D^{-}$, $D^{0} \overline{D}^{0}$, $D^{*+}D^{*-}$, and $D^{*0}\overline{D}^{*0}$. Partial width all of these decays are found using the three-point sum rule method which is required to calculate strong couplings at corresponding meson-meson-tetraquark vertices. Predictions obtained for the mass $m=(12697 \pm 90)~\mathrm{MeV}$ and width $\Gamma[T_{\mathrm{2bc}}]=(142.4 \pm 16.9)~ \mathrm{MeV}$ of the state $T_{\mathrm{2bc}}$ are compared with alternative results, and are useful for further experimental investigations of fully heavy resonances.

We propose a radiative seesaw model with an inert triplet scalar field in which Majorana neutrino masses are generated at the two loop level. There are fermionic or bosonic dark matter candidates in the model. We find that each candidate can satisfy the WMAP data when its mass is taken to be around the half of the mass of the standard model like Higgs boson. We also discuss phenomenology of the inert triplet scalar bosons, especially focusing on the doubly-charged scalar bosons at Large Hadron Collider in parameter regions constrained by the electroweak precision data and WMAP data. We study how we can distinguish our model from the minimal Higgs triplet model.

The p-adic description of Higgs mechanism provides excellent predictions for elementary particle and hadron masses. In this work the construction of p-adic field theory limit of Quantum TGD is considered. Topological condensate defined as a manifold obtained by gluing together p-adic spacetime regions with different values of $p$ is identified as 'quantum average' space time defined as absolute minimum of effective action $S_e$ associated with K\"ahler Dirac action defining configuration space geometry. p-Adic spacetime topology is ultrametric in accordance with the analogy with spin glass phase implied by the vacuum degenerary of K\"ahler action. Symmetry arguments suggest that $S_e$ in presence of fermion fields is just the super symmetrized K\"ahler Dirac action. Super symmetrization motivated by $N=1$ super symmetry generated by right handed neutrino replaces H-coordinates with their super counterparts and requires color singletness of physical states appears as consistency condition. p-Adic $Diff(M^4)$ and canonical transformations of $CP_2$ localized with respect to $M^4$ are approximate symmetries of the effective action and broken only by the nonflatness of the induced metric. Super gauge invariances in interior allow only massless many boson states with vanishing electroweak and color quantum numbers including graviton in accordance with the hypothesis that elementary particle quantum numbers reside on boundaries. Boundary components are idealized with world lines and Kac Moody Dirac spinors used in mass calculations describe the conformal degrees of freedom of the boundary component. Perturbation theory in powers of $p$ converges extremely rapidly: UV divergences are absent but natural infrared cutoff is present.

We study the effects of including brane localized curvature terms in the Randall-Sundrum (RS) model of the hierarchy. This leads to the existence of brane localized kinetic terms for the graviton. Such terms can be induced by brane and bulk quantum effects as well as Higgs-curvature mixing on the brane. We derive the modified spectrum of Kaluza-Klein (KK) gravitons and their couplings to 4-dimensional fields in the presence of these terms. We find that the masses and couplings of the KK gravitons have considerable dependence on the size of the brane localized terms; the weak-scale phenomenology of the model is consequently modified . In particular, the weak-scale spin-2 graviton resonances which generically appear in the RS model may be significantly lighter than previously assumed. However, they may avoid detection as their widths may be too narrow to be observable at colliders. In the contact interaction limit, for a certain range of parameters, the experimental reach for the scale of the theory is independent of the size of the boundary terms.

QCD-like theories possess a positively definite fermion determinant at finite baryon chemical potential $\mu_{\text B}$ and the lattice simulation can be successfully performed. While the chiral perturbation theories are sufficient to describe the Bose condensate at low density, to describe the crossover from Bose-Einstein condensation (BEC) to BCS superfluidity at moderate density we should use some fermionic effective model of QCD, such as the Nambu-Jona-Lasinio model. In this paper, using two-color two-flavor QCD as an example, we examine how the Nambu-Jona-Lasinio model describes the weakly interacting Bose condensate at low density and the BEC-BCS crossover at moderate density. Near the quantum phase transition point $\mu_{\text B}=m_\pi$ ($m_\pi$ is the mass of pion/diquark multiplet), the Ginzburg-Landau free energy at the mean-field level can be reduced to the Gross-Pitaevskii free energy describing a weakly repulsive Bose condensate with a diquark-diquark scattering length identical to that predicted by the chiral perturbation theories. The Goldstone mode recovers the Bogoliubov excitation in weakly interacting Bose condensates. The results of in-medium chiral and diquark condensates predicted by chiral perturbation theories are analytically recovered. The BEC-BCS crossover and meson Mott transition at moderate baryon chemical potential as well as the beyond-mean-field corrections are studied. Part of our results can also be applied to real QCD at finite baryon or isospin chemical potential.

Quartic hilltop inflation remains one of the most successful inflationary models. Yet, the expectations of early treatments of hilltop inflation would contradict the observations and render the model excluded. However, recent numerical treatment has demonstrated that quartic hilltop inflation actually fares well with observations. In this work, a fully analytic treatment of the model aims to dispel the mystery surrounding the behaviour of quartic hilltop inflation. The results obtained are in excellent agreement with numerical works on the subject, yet offer simple analytic formulas to calculate observables and easily test thereby quartic hilltop inflation, hopefully revealing information on the theoretical background.

We study a class of nonperturbative corrections to single-inclusive photon cross sections at measured transverse momentum p_T, in the large-x_T limit. We develop an extension of the joint (threshold and transverse momentum) resummation formalism, appropriate for large x_T, in which there are no kinematic singularities associated with recoil, and for which matching to fixed order and to threshold resummation at next-to-leading logarithm (NLL) is straightforward. Beyond NLL, we find contributions that can be attributed to recoil from initial state radiation. Associated power corrections occur as inverse powers of p_T^2 and are identified from the infrared structure of integrals over the running coupling. They have significant energy dependence and decrease from typical fixed-target to collider energies. Energy conservation, which is incorporated into joint resummation, moderates the effects of perturbative recoil and power corrections for large x_T.

We show a new physical phenomenon expected for the ratio R_{pA} of the unintegrated gluon distribution of a nucleus over the unintegrated gluon distribution of a proton scaled up by the atomic factor A^{1/3} in the fluctuation-dominated (diffusive scaling) region at high energy. We calculate the dependence of R_{pA} on the atomic number A, the rapidity Y and the transverse gluon momentum k_{\perp}. We find that R_{pA} exhibits an increasing gluon shadowing with growing rapidity, approaching 1/A^{1/3} at asymptotic rapidities which means total gluon shadowing, due to the effect of gluon number fluctuations or Pomeron loops. The increase of R_{pA} with rising gluon momentum decreases as the rapidity grows. In contrast, in the geometric scaling region where the effect of fluctuations is negligible, the ratio R_{pA} shows only partial gluon shadowing in the fixed-coupling case, basically independent on the rapidity and the gluon momentum.

Transverse-momentum dependent (TMD) light-cone wave functions of a light meson are important ingredients in the TMD QCD factorization of exclusive processes. This factorization allows one conveniently resum Sudakov logarithms appearing in collinear factorization. The TMD light-cone wave functions are not simply related to the standard light-cone wave functions in collinear factorization by integrating them over the transverse momentum. We explore relations between TMD light-cone wave functions and those in the collinear factorization. Two factorized relations can be found.

Transverse-momentum dependent (TMD) light-cone wave functions of a light meson are important ingredients in the TMD QCD factorization of exclusive processes. This factorization allows one conveniently resum Sudakov logarithms appearing in collinear factorization. The TMD light-cone wave functions are not simply related to the standard light-cone wave functions in collinear factorization by integrating them over the transverse momentum. We explore relations between TMD light-cone wave functions and those in the collinear factorization. Two factorized relations can be found. One is helpful for constructing models for TMD light-cone wave functions, and the other can be used for resummation. These relations will be useful to establish a link between two types of factorization.

We simulate the creation and evolution of non-boost-invariant Glasma in the early stages of heavy ion collisions within the color glass condensate framework. This is accomplished by extending the McLerran-Venugopalan model to include a parameter for the Lorentz-contracted but finite width of the nucleus in the beam direction. We determine the rapidity profile of the Glasma energy density, which shows deviations from the boost-invariant result. Varying the parameters both broad and narrow profiles can be produced. We compare our results to experimental data from RHIC and find surprising agreement.

Hedgehog model predictions for the leading nonanalytic behavior (in $m^{2}_{\pi }$) of certain observables are shown to agree with the predictions of chiral perturbation theory up to an overall factor which depends on the operator. This factor can be understood in terms of contributions of the $\Delta$ isobar in chiral loops. These physically motivated contributions are analyzed in an expansion in which both $m_{\pi}$ and $M_{\Delta}-M_N$ are taken as small parameters, and are shown to yield large corrections to both hedgehog models and chiral perturbation theory.

The QCD axion bubbles can be formed due to an extra Peccei-Quinn (PQ) symmetry breaking in the early Universe. In this paper, we investigate the QCD axion bubbles formation from the PQ symmetry broken by hidden $SU(N)_H$ gauge interactions after inflation, which leads to the multiple vacua. The axion acquires a light mass and then settles down into different vacua. The QCD axion bubbles are formed when the conventional QCD axion arises during the QCD phase transition. In our scenario, the QCD axions that start to oscillate at the large values $\sim2\pi/3$ can lead to the high density axion bubbles with $N=2$. The cosmological implications of the QCD axion bubbles are also discussed, such as the primordial black holes (PBHs) and the axion miniclusters. We find that the PBH mass is lager than $\sim\mathcal{O}(5\times10^5)M_\odot$ for the axion scale $f_a\sim\mathcal{O}(10^{16})\, \rm GeV$.

The hadronic light-by-light scattering contribution to muon $g-2$ is examined based on the low energy effective theories of QCD, the Nambu-Jona-Lasinio model and hidden local symmetry approach, supplemented by a general information concerning the asymptotic behavior of QCD. Our result is $- 52 \times 10^{-11}$ with an uncertainty of $\pm 18 \times 10^{-11}$, which includes our best estimate of model dependence. This is within the expected measurement uncertainty of $40\times 10^{-11}$ in the forthcoming experiment at Brookhaven National Laboratory. Our result removes one of the main theoretical obstacles in verifying the existence of the weak contribution to the muon $g-2$.

We propose a mass matrix model that gives a unified description of quark and lepton with the same texture form based on a flavor 2 <-> 3 symmetry. The model is in contrast with the conventional picture that the mass matrix forms in the quark sector will take somewhat different structures from those in the lepton sector. By investigating possible types of assignment for masses, we find that our quark mass matrices can lead to small CKM quark mixings which are consistent with experimental values. We also find some phase-parameter-independent relations among CKM quark mixing matrix elements.

We calculate open charm production in $Pb+Pb$ reactions at SPS energies within the HSD transport approach - which is based on string, quark, diquark ($q, \bar{q}, qq, \bar{q}\bar{q}$) and hadronic degrees of freedom - including the production of open charm pairs from secondary 'meson'-'baryon' (or quark-diquark and antiquark-diquark) collisions. It is argued that at collision energies close to the $c\bar{c}$ pair threshold the dominant production mechanism is related to the two body (or quasi two body) reactions $\pi N \to \bar{D} (\bar{D^*}) \Lambda_c, (\Sigma_c)$. Estimates within the framework of the Quark-Gluon String model suggest cross sections of a few $\mu b$ for $\pi N \to \bar{D} \Lambda_c$ in the region of 1 GeV above threshold. The dynamical transport calculations for $Pb + Pb$ at 160 A$\cdot$GeV indicate that the open charm enhancement reported by the NA50 Collaboration might be due to such secondary reaction mechanisms.

It is challenging to resolve the small-scale problem for dark matter being a weakly-interacting massive particle. We attempt to address this issue by proposing a self-interacting freeze-in dark matter via dark photon. In this model, the dark matter obtains the observed relic abundance via Standard Model $\gamma$ and $Z$ boson induced freeze-in processes, whereas the dark matter force mediator has a negligible relic abundance and a lifetime larger than the age of Universe. We place constraints in classical and resonant regime resolving the small-scale problem from CMB, $X/\gamma$-ray, Supernova 1987A and out-of-equilibrium condition. It turns out that the CMB constraint on dark matter annihilations is satisfied despite large Sommerfeld effect taking place, while the other constraints are trivially accommodated due to various millicharge induced suppressions. Finally we briefly discuss future cosmological tests on such freeze-in dark matter model.

We evaluate the possible deviation (from the conventional Cahn's result) of the phase between the one-photon-exchange and the `nuclear' high energy $pp$ scattering amplitudes in a small $t\to 0$ region caused by a more complicated (not just $exp(Bt)$) behaviour of the nuclear amplitude. Furthermore we look at the possible role of the $t$-dependence of the $\rho(t) \equiv$ Real/Imaginary amplitude ratio. It turns out that both effects are rather small - much smaller than to have any influence on the experimental accuracy of $\rho(t=0)$ extracted from the elastic proton-proton scattering data.

We show that a recently discovered non-perturbative field-theoretical mechanism giving mass to elementary fermions, is also capable of generating a mass for the electro-weak bosons and can thus be used as a viable alternative to the Higgs scenario. A detailed analysis of this remarkable feature shows that the non-perturbatively generated fermion and $W$ masses have the parametric form $m_{f}\sim C_f(\alpha)\Lambda_{RGI}$ and $M_W\sim g_w c_w(\alpha)\Lambda_{RGI}$, respectively, where the coefficients $C_f(\alpha)$ and $c_w(\alpha)$ are functions of the gauge couplings, $g_w$ is the weak coupling and $\Lambda_{\rm RGI}$ is the RGI scale of the theory. In view of these expressions, we see that to match the experimental values of the top quark and $W$ masses, we are led to conjecture the existence of a yet unobserved sector of massive fermions (that we denote Tera-fermions) subjected, besides ordinary Standard Model interactions, to some kind of super-strong gauge interactions (Tera-interactions), so that the full theory (SM plus Tera-particles) will have an RGI scale $\Lambda_{\rm RGI}\equiv \Lambda_T$ in the TeV region. This approach offers a solution of the mass naturalness problem (there is no fundamental Higgs), an understanding of the fermion mass hierarchy and a physical interpretation of the electro-weak scale as a fraction of $\Lambda_T$.

Simultaneous analysis of the decays $\phi(1020)\to\gamma f_0(980)$ and $f_0(980)\to\gamma\gamma$ provides arguments in favour of the solution with negative mixing angle $\phi =-48^\circ\pm 6^\circ$.

The dynamic mechanism of short range interaction between $u/d$ quarks is still an open and challenging problem. In order to reveal this quark dynamics, we perform a systematic analysis of $NN$, $D_{03}$, and $D_{30}$ systems in the (extended) chiral SU(3) constituent quark models. By comparing results calculated with different models and different parameter sets, the effects of one gluon exchange and vector meson exchange terms are carefully examined. The results indicate that the vector meson exchange interactions dominate the short range interactions between $u/d$ quarks, while the small residual one gluon exchange coupling strength is also allowed.

We attempt to reconcile large trilinear R-parity violating interactions in a supersymmetric (SUSY) theory with the observed pattern of neutrino masses and mixing. We show that, with a restricted number of such interaction terms with the $\lambda'$-type couplings in the range (0.1-1.0), it is possible to forbid one-loop contributions to the neutrino mass matrix. This is illustrated with the help of a `working example' where an econnomic choice of SUSY parameters is made, with three non-vanishing and `large' R-parity violating terms in the superpotential. The two-loop contributions in such a case can not only generate the masses in the requisite order but can also lead us to specific allowed regions of the parameter space.

Using the formalism of soft-collinear effective theory, a complete separation of short- and long-distance contributions to heavy-to-light transition form factors at large recoil is performed. The universal functions $\zeta_M(E)$ parameterizing the ``soft overlap'' contribution to the form factors are defined in terms of matrix elements in the effective theory. Endpoint configurations corresponding to kinematic situations where one of the valence partons in the external mesons carries very small momentum are accounted for in terms of operators involving soft-collinear messenger fields. They contribute at leading order in $\Lambda_{\rm QCD}/E$ and spoil factorization. An analysis of operator mixing and renormalization-group evolution in the effective theory reveals that the intermediate scale $\sqrt{E\Lambda}$ is without significance to the soft functions $\zeta_M(E)$, and that the soft overlap contribution does not receive a significant perturbative (Sudakov) suppression.

Recently at LHC one has obtained measurements of the total, elastic and diffractive cross sections in pp collisions at very high energy. The total cross section is in good agreement with predictions based on a leading behavior \sigma_{tot} (s) \propto (\ln s/s_0)^2, on the other hand the elastic cross section is lower than most expectations and the diffractive cross section is higher. It is remarkable that the ratio (\sigma_{el} + \sigma_{diff})/\sigma_{tot} calculated combining the results of the TOTEM and ALICE detectors is 0.495^{+0.05}_{-0.06}, very close to the maximum theoretically allowed value of 1/2 known as the Miettinen Pumplin bound. In this work we discuss these results using the frameworks of single and multi--channel eikonal models, and outline the main difficulties for a consistent interpretation of the data.

Several theories of particle physics beyond the Standard Model consider that neutrinos can decay. In this work we assume that the standard mechanism of neutrino oscillations is altered by the decay of the heaviest neutrino mass state into a sterile neutrino and, depending on the model, a scalar or a Majoron. We study the sensitivity of the forthcoming KM3NeT-ORCA experiment to this scenario and find that it could improve the current bounds coming from oscillation experiments, where three-neutrino oscillations have been considered, by roughly two orders of magnitude. We also study how the presence of this neutrino decay can affect the determination of the atmospheric oscillation parameters $\sin^2\theta_{23}$ and $\Delta m_{31}^2$, as well as the sensitivity to the neutrino mass ordering.

We perform a detailed analysis of the synchrotron signals produced by Dark Matter annihilations and decays. We consider different set-ups for the propagation of electrons and positrons, the galactic magnetic field and Dark Matter properties. We then confront these signals with radio and microwave maps, including Planck measurements, from a frequency of 22 MHz up to 70 GHz. We derive two sets of constraints: conservative and progressive, the latter based on a modeling of the astrophysical emission. Radio and microwave constraints are complementary to those obtained with other indirect detection methods, especially for dark matter annihilating into leptonic channels.

In this work, we have studied lepton flavor violating (LFV) decays of $Z$ gauge boson and Higgs boson ($H$) in the scotogenic model. We have computed branching ratios for the decays $Z\to\ell_\alpha\ell_\beta$ and $H\to\ell_\alpha\ell_\beta$ in this model. Here, $\ell_\alpha$ and $\ell_\beta$ are different charged lepton fields. After fitting to the neutrino oscillation observables in the scotogenic model, we have found that the branching ratios for the LFV decays of $Z$ and $H$ can be as large as $\sim10^{-8}$ and $\sim10^{-3}$ respectively. However, after satisfying the constraints due to non-observation of $\ell_\alpha\to\ell_\beta\gamma$ decays, the above mentioned branching ratio results are found to be suppressed by a factor of $\sim10^{-7}$.

Notably, the question is addressed, to which extent the H1 analysis may be directly compared to our original predictions from instanton-perturbation theory, since certain fiducial cuts are lacking in the H1 data. Various theoretical uncertainties are evaluated and their impact on the observed excess is discussed. An improved understanding of the experimental findings along with an encouraging over-all agreement with our original predictions seems to emerge.

We present a new model of composite Higgs based on a gauged SU(N) group with 4 Dirac fermions in the fundamental representation. At low energy, the model has a global symmetry SU(4)$\times$SU(4) broken to the diagonal SU(4), containing 2 Higgs doublets in the coset. We study in detail the generation of the top mass via 4-fermion interactions, and the issue of the vacuum alignment. In particular, we prove that, without loss of generality, the vacuum can always be aligned with one doublet. Under certain conditions on the top pre-Yukawas, the second doublet, together with the additional triplets, is stable and can thus play the role of Dark Matter. This model can therefore be an example of composite inert-2HDM model.

The charge-asymmetry observed in a recent CPLEAR experiment was interpreted by the authors as a direct observation of T-noninvariance. While this is the simplest and most natural inference, and the observed effect agrees in sign and magnitude with theoretical expectation, adherents of T-invariance may argue that other interpretations are also possible. If K^0 and \bar{K}^0 are produced equally in \bar{p} p annihilation, and T-invariance is assumed to hold, the asymmetry observed in CPLEAR must be attributed to TCP-noninvariance of kaon beta-decays. If that were the case, the charge-asymmetry in K_S^0 \to \pi l\nu decays should be three times larger than the one observed for K_L^0 decays.

If K^0 and \bar{K}^0 are produced equally in \bar{p} p annihilation, and T-invariance is assumed to hold, the asymmetry observed in CPLEAR must be attributed to TCP-noninvariance of kaon beta-decays. If that were the case, the charge-asymmetry in K_S^0 \to \pi l\nu decays should be three times larger than the one observed for K_L^0 decays.

We update the CP-violating asymmetries in K^+ -> 3 pi. In particular we study Delta g_C and Delta g_N -the asymmetries in the slope g. We emphasize its complementarity to the direct CP-violation parameter epsilon_K' and the large sensitivity to the size of the imaginary part of the octet coupling Im G_8 at lowest order in CHPT. We also give the prospects of a full calculation at next-to-leading order of this and other CP-violating asymmetries which will be presented elsewhere.

Infrared divergences of QCD scattering amplitudes can be derived from an anomalous dimension matrix, which is also an essential ingredient for the resummation of large logarithms due to soft gluon emissions. We report a recent analytical calculation of the anomalous dimension matrix with both massless and massive partons at two-loop level, which describes the two-loop infrared singularities of any scattering amplitudes with an arbitrary number of massless and massive partons, and also enables soft gluon resummation at next-to-next-to-leading-logarithmic order. As an application, we calculate the infrared poles in the q qbar -> t tbar and gg -> t tbar scattering amplitudes at two-loop order.

It is shown that in the physically interesting domain of the parameter space of SU(5) supergravity GUT, the Higgs and the Z poles dominate the LSP annihilation. Here the naive analyses on thermal averaging breaks down and formulae are derived which give a rigorous treatment over the poles. These results are then used to show that there exist significant domains in the parameter space where the constraints of proton stability and cosmology are simultaneously satisfied. New upper limits on light particle masses are obtained.

Three-body decay functions in space-like parton branches are implemented to evaluate transverse-momentum-dependent (TMD) parton distribution functions in the next-to-leading logarithmic (NLL) order of quantum chromodynamics (QCD). Interference contributions due to the next-to-leading order contribution are taken into account for the evaluation of the transverse momenta in initial state parton radiations. Some properties of the decay functions are also examined. As an example, we compare our results with an algorithm proposed in Ref.1), in which a transverse momentum distributions are evaluated at the last step of parton evolutions.

To solve the discrepancy between the experimental data on the partial widths and lineshapes of the dipion emission of $\Upsilon(4S)$ and the theoretical predictions, we suggest that there is an additional contribution which was not taken into account in previous calculations. Noticing that the mass of $\Upsilon(4S)$ is above the production threshold of $B\bar B$, the contribution of the sequential process $\Upsilon(4S)\to B\bar B\to \Upsilon(nS)+S\to \Upsilon(nS)+\pi^+\pi^-$ ($n=1,2$) may be sizable, and its interference with that from the direct production would be important. The goal of this work is to investigate if a sum of the two contributions with a relative phase indeed reproduces the data. Our numerical results on the partial widths and the lineshapes $d\Gamma(\Upsilon(4S)\to \Upsilon(2S,1S)\pi^+\pi^-)/d(m_{\pi^+\pi^-})$ are satisfactorily consistent with the measurements, thus the role of this mechanism is confirmed. Moreover, with the parameters obtained by fitting the data of the Belle and Babar collaborations, we predict the distributions $d\Gamma(\Upsilon(4S)\to \Upsilon(2S,1S)\pi^+\pi^-)/d\cos\theta$ which have not been measured yet.

Wandzura-Wilczek (WW) relations between matrix-elements of bilocal light-ray operators have recently regained interest in connection with off-forward scattering processes. Originally derived for matrix elements over leading-twist operators, their generalization to off-forward and exclusive processes gets complicated by the presence of higher-twist operators that are total derivatives of leading-twist ones and do not contribute to forward-scattering. We demonstrate that, for exclusive matrix-elements, the inclusion of these operators into WW-relations is essential for fulfilling constraints imposed by the conformal symmetry of massless QCD.

Among the robust predictions of the approach we find small strong-interaction phases (with one notable exception) and a pattern of CP-averaged branching fractions, which in some cases differ significantly from the current central values reported by the CLEO Collaboration.

An advantage of this Dalitz-plot method is that one can obtain many independent measurements of $\gamma$, thereby reducing its statistical error. An accurate determination of the errors, however, requires detailed knowledge of the data. Hopefully, an experimental group will repeat the analysis, and obtain precise values of the errors.

After the great triumph of the Higgs discovery in 2012, the next target at the energy frontier will be to study the Higgs properties and to search for the next scale beyond the SM. Experimentally, the $H\to c \bar{c}$ channel would be extremely difficult to dig out because of both the weak Yukawa coupling and the daunting SM di-jet background. We propose to test the charm-quark Yukawa coupling at the LHC and future hadron colliders with the Higgs boson decay to $J/\psi$ via the charm-quark fragmentation. Using the non-relativistic quantum chromodynamics (NRQCD), we study the charmonia production via the Higgs boson decay channel $ H \to c \ \bar{c} + J/\psi $(or $ \eta_c $), where both the color-singlet and color-octet contributions are considered. Our result opens another door to improve determinations at the LHC of the Higgs Yukawa couplings: the final state from this decay mode is quite distinctive with $J/\psi\to e^+e^-,\, \mu^+\mu^-$ and the branching fraction is enhanced by the charm-quark fragmentation mechanism.

We calculate the O(alpha) electroweak corrections to charged- and neutral-current deep-inelastic neutrino scattering off an isoscalar target. The full one-loop-corrected cross sections, including hard photonic corrections, are evaluated and compared to an earlier result which was used in the NuTeV analysis. In particular, we compare results that differ in input-parameter scheme, treatment of real photon radiation and factorization scheme. The associated shifts in the theoretical prediction for the ratio of neutral- and charged-current cross sections can be larger than the experimental accuracy of the NuTeV result.

CP violation, which is crucial for producing the baryon asymmetry of the Universe, is enhanced in particle-antiparticle oscillations. We study particle-antiparticle oscillations (of a particle with mass O(100 GeV)) with CP violation in the early Universe in the presence of interactions with O(ab-fb) cross-sections. We show that, if baryon-number-violating interactions exist, a baryon asymmetry can be produced via out-of-equilibrium decays of oscillating particles. As a concrete example we study a $U(1)_R$-symmetric, R-parity-violating SUSY model with pseudo-Dirac gauginos, which undergo particle-antiparticle oscillations. Taking bino to be the lightest $U(1)_R$-symmetric particle, and assuming it decays via baryon-number-violating interactions, we show that bino-antibino oscillations can produce the baryon asymmetry of the Universe.

In our analysis, the valence and nonsinglet parts obey the Gross-Llewellyn-Smith and Gottfried sum rules, respectively. For the singlet quark and gluon densities momentum conservation is taken into account. Then, using the Kimber-Martin-Ryskin prescription, we extend the consideration to Transverse Momentum Dependent (TMD, or unintegrated) gluon and quark distributions in a proton, which currently plays an important role in a number of phenomenological applications. The analytical expressions for the latter, valid for both low and large $x$, are derived for the first time.

We study in detail the flavor-non-singlet component of polarized structure functions in the framework of a consistent and complete next-to-leading order (${\cal O}(\alpha_s))$ analysis. In this context, we discuss some important features of the calculation of the next-to-leading order corrections. Particular emphasis is put on the $Q^2$-evolution of sum-rules for the first moments of the non-singlet structure functions which, as we show, could serve to explore $SU(2)$ and $SU(3)$ breaking effects in relations between baryonic $\beta$-decay matrix elements and in the proton's polarized sea. Furthermore we make predictions for polarized non-singlet structure functions measurable in a conceivable $\vec{e}\vec{p}$ collider mode of HERA.

Transport coefficients serve as important probes in characterizing the QCD matter created in high-energy heavy-ion collisions. Thermal and electrical conductivities as transport coefficients have got special significance in studying the time evolution of the created matter. We have adopted color string percolation approach for the estimation of thermal conductivity ($\kappa$), electrical conductivity ($\sigma_{el}$) and their ratio, which is popularly known as Wiedemann-Franz law in condensed matter physics. The ratio $\kappa/\sigma_{el}T$, which is also known as Lorenz number ($\mathbb{L}$) is studied as a function of temperature and is compared with various theoretical calculations. We observe that the thermal conductivity for hot QCD medium is almost temperature independent in the present formalism and matches with the results obtained in ideal equation of state (EOS) for quark-gluon plasma with fixed coupling constant ($\alpha_s$). The obtained Lorenz number is compared with the Stefan-Boltzmann limit for an ideal gas. We observe that a hot QCD medium with color degrees of freedom behaves like a free electron gas.

We review the problem of neutrino masses and mixings in the context of Grand Unified Theories. After a brief summary of the present experimental status of neutrino physics, we describe how the see-saw mechanism can automatically account for the large atmospheric mixing angle. We provide two specific examples where this possibility is realized by means of a flavour symmetry. We then review in some detail the various severe problems which plague minimal GUT models (like the doublet-triplet splitting and proton-decay) and which force to investigate the possibility of constructing more elaborate but realistic models. We then show an example of a quasi-realistic SUSY SU(5) model which, by exploiting the crucial presence of an abelian flavour symmetry, does not require any fine-tuning and predicts a satisfactory phenomenology with respect to coupling unification, fermion masses and mixings and bounds from proton decay.

If Micro Black Holes (MBHs) can be produced at the LHC, they will decay very fast. We study hypothetical MBHs that do not decay; in particular, QCD effects on accretion by MBHs that are produced at rest. We explain why accretion of a nucleon by such MBHs is associated with pion emission. This pion emission results in a kick to the MBHs, such that their velocities are large enough to escape the Earth. Our study provides an extra assurance that MBHs which might be produced at the LHC are not dangerous.

We derive a new factorization formula in perturbative quantum chromodynamics for the Drell-Yan massive lepton-pair cross section as a function of the transverse momentum $Q_T$ of the pair. When $Q_T$ is much larger than the pair's invariant mass $Q$, this factorization formula systematically resums the logarithmic contributions of the type $\alpha_s^m \ln^m(Q_T^2/Q^2)$ to all orders in the strong coupling $\alpha_s$. When $Q_T\sim Q$, our formula yields the same Drell-Yan cross section as conventional fixed order QCD perturbation theory. We show that resummation is important when the collision energy $\sqrt{S}$ is large enough and $Q_T\gg Q$, and we argue that perturbative expansions are more stable and reliable in terms of the modified factorization formula.

We compare the prediction of the extended Collins-Soper-Sterman resummation formalism with the next-to-leading and next-to-next-to-leading order calculations. We show that both the rich dynamics of the QCD multiple soft gluon radiation and the non-perturbative sector of QCD can be tested by measuring $R_{CSS}$.

We consider the discontinuities in a two-constituent relativistic superfluid. In the acoustic limit they degenerate into the first and second sound which are independent up to the second-order linear approximation. Inclusion of the quadratic deviations relates to the small-amplitude shock. Particularly we consider a plane shock at low temperature when the phonon excitations contribute to the normal constituent. So we found the generalization of the temperature increment and acoustic wave velocity in relativistic superfluid. The fourth sound speed is also calculated.

In this paper, we explain this diphoton excess as a pseudo-scalar singlet, which is produced at the LHC through gluon fusion with exotic scalar quarks running in the loop. We point out the scalar singlet might trigger a two-step electroweak phase transition, which can be strongly first oder. By assuming there are CP violations associated with interactions of the scalar quarks, the model is found to be able to generate adequate baryon asymmetry of the Universe through the electroweak baryogenesis mechanism.

We give heavy quark-diquark symmetry predictions for doubly heavy baryons and tetraquarks in light of the recent discovery of the $\Xi_{cc}^{++}$ by LHCb. For five excited doubly charm baryons that are predicted to lie below the $\Lambda_c D$ threshold, we give predictions for their electromagnetic and strong decays using a previously developed chiral Lagrangian with heavy quark-diquark symmetry. Based on the mass of the $\Xi_{cc}^{++}$, the existence of a doubly heavy bottom $I=0$ tetraquark that is stable to the strong and electromagnetic decays has been predicted. If the mass of this state is below 10405 MeV, as predicted in some models, we argue using heavy quark-diquark symmetry that the $J^P=1^+$ $I=1$ doubly bottom tetraquark state will lie just below the open bottom threshold and likely be a narrow state as well. In this scenario, we compute strong decay width for this state using a new Lagrangian for tetraquarks which is related to the singly heavy baryon Lagrangian by heavy quark-diquark symmetry.

Left Right Symmetric Model (LRSM) being an extension of the Standard model of particle physics incorporates within itself Type-I and Type-II seesaw mass terms naturally. Both the mass terms can have significant amount of contribution to the resulting light neutrino mass within the model and hence on the different phenomenology associated within. In this paper, we have thoroughly analyzed and discussed the implications of specifying different weightages to the type-I and type-II mass terms and also the study has been carried out for different values of $M_{W_R}$ which is mass of the right-handed gauge boson. This paper also gives a deeper insight into the new physics contributions of Neutrinoless Double Beta Decay $(0\nu\beta\beta)$ and their variations with the net baryon asymmetry arising out of the model. Therefore, the main objective of the present paper rests on investigating the implications of imposing different weightage to the type-I and type-II seesaw terms and different values of $M_{W_R}$ on the new physics contributions of $0\nu\beta\beta$ and net baryon asymmetry arising out as a result of resonant leptogenesis. LRSM in this work has been realized using modular group of level 3, $\Gamma(3)$ which is isomorphic to non-abelian discrete symmetry group $A_4$, the advantage being the non-requirement of flavons within the model and hence maintaining the minimality of the model.

Any light relic which was in thermal equilibrium with the Standard Model before it freezes out results in a shift in the effective number of neutrino species, $N_{eff}$. This quantity is being measured with increasing precision, and planned experiments would seemingly rule out light particles beyond the Standard Model, even for rather high temperature light particle freeze out. Here we explore how these bounds are loosened if the energy density of the light particles is diluted with respect to that of Standard Model radiation, which can happen if a heavy particle decays into the Standard Model bath after the light particle freezes out. After calculating how heavy state decays alter $N_{eff}$ for light particles beyond the Standard Model, we focus in particular on the case that the heavy decaying particle is a gravitino, and use current bounds on $N_{eff}$ to place constraints on the gravitino mass and the branching ratio into light particles for different values of the reheating temperature of the Universe.
