In this work, dual electroweak phase transition (EWPT) consisting of two phases, is carefully studied in the two-Higgs-doublet model with the $S_3$ discrete symmetry. The role of $S_3$ here is to further separate the stages of the electroweak phase transition, compared to that of the original two-Higgs-doublet model (2HDM). The strength of the electroweak phase transition $(S)$ in the model under consideration is large enough for the first-order EWPT, specifically $1 < S < 2.8$. The ratio between the two vacuum expectation values (VEVs), $\tan\beta = v_2/v_1$, is proven to have no effects on the strength of the phase transition. This ratio only affects the mass domain that causes the first-order phase transition. Furthermore, in this paper we will show clearly that when studying the EWPT in models of more than one scalar field that generates masses, one needs to analyze the problem of phase transition under multiple stages. In other words, the effect of the first stage of symmetry breaking to the second one, is to simplify by suggestion that vacuum expectation value of the Higgs boson responsible for the initial stage is proportional to that of the field for the next stage.

We present a new nucleon distribution amplitude which amalgamates features of the Chernyak-Ogloblin-Zhitnitsky model with those of the Gari-Stefanis model. This "heterotic" solution provides the possibility to have asymptotically a small ratio \hbox{$\vert G_{M}^{n}\vert/G_{M}^{p}\le 0.1$}, while fulfilling most of the sum-rule requirements up to the third order. Using this nucleon distribution amplitude we calculate the electromagnetic and weak nucleon form factors, the transition form factor $\gamma p \Delta^{+}$ and the decay widths of the charmonium levels $^3S_{1}$, $^3P_{1}$, and $^3P_{2}$ into $p\bar p$. The agreement with the available data is remarkable in all cases.

We show that a new strongly interacting sector can produce large enhancements of the t-tbar asymmetries at the Tevatron. The Standard Model is extended by a new vector-like flavor triplet of fermions and one heavy scalar, all charged under a hypercolor gauge group SU(3) HC. This simple extension results in a number of new resonances. The predictions of our model are rather rigid once a small number of UV parameters are fixed, since all the strong dynamics can be directly taken over from our understanding of QCD dynamics. Despite the rather low hypercolor confinement scale of ~100 GeV, the new strongly interacting sector is stealth. It is shielded from present direct and indirect NP searches since the light resonances are QCD singlets, whereas the production of the heavier QCD colored resonances leads predominantly to high multiplicity final states. Improved searches can potentially be devised using top tagged final states or decays into a small number of hypercolor pions.

The last two decades are marked by a renaissance in hadronic spectroscopy caused by the arrival of vast experimental information on exotic states in the spectrum of charmonium and bottomonium. Most of such states have properties at odds with the predictions of the quark model and reside very close to strong hadronic thresholds. Prominent examples are provided by the glorious $X(3872)$ charmonium-like state and the doubly charmed tetraquark $T_{cc}^+$ with the masses within less than 1 MeV from the $D\bar{D}^*$ and $DD^*$ open-charm thresholds, respectively. The universality of this feature hints towards the existence of a general pattern for such exotic states. In this work we discuss a possible generic mechanism for the formation of near-threshold molecular states as a result of the strong coupling of compact quark states with a hadronic continuum channel. The compact states that survive the strong coupling limit decouple from the continuum channel and therefore also from the formed hadronic molecule - if realised this scenario would provide a justification to treat hadronic molecules isolated, ignoring the possible influence from surrounding, compact quark-model states. We confront the phenomenology of the $D_{s1}(2460)$ and $D_{s1}(2536)$ with this picture and find consistency, although other explanations remain possible for those states.

The bounds on the light quark masses are obtained by fitting the squares of pseudoscalar meson masses $m_\pi^2$ and $m_K^2$ to second order in $1/N_c$ expansion. The result is an algebraic cubic curve whose coefficients are the known Weinberg values for the quark mass ratios $m_u/m_d$ and $m_s/m_d$. Additional restrictions arise when using the ratio $m_s/m_{ud}=27.23(10)$ quoted by FLAG for lattice simulations with four quark flavors. This provides a tight constraint on the ratio $m_u/m_d = 0.455(8)$.

A refined version of a multi-step calculation of heavy-flavor observables in pp and AA collisions has been developed, based on pQCD at NLO accuracy followed by parton shower evolution to describe heavy-quark production and on the relativistic Langevin equation to describe their stochastic evolution in the QCD plasma. Then, hadronization is modeled through an implementation of fragmentation functions based on pQCD and constrained by $e^{+}e^{-}$ collider data. Results of our calculations can be compared with recent measurements performed at the LHC in Pb--Pb collisions at $\sqrt{s_{NN}}$=2.76 TeV: nuclear modification factor $R_{AA}$ of the $p_{T}$ spectra at mid-rapidity of heavy-flavor decay electrons and of exclusively reconstructed open-charm mesons at different centralities, as well as their elliptic-flow $v_{2}$($p_{T}$) in semi-central collisions. To test the validity of our setup for such studies, its predictions are also checked against the $p_{T}$ spectra measured in pp collisions at $\sqrt{s}$=7 TeV and 2.76 TeV.

We explore the relevance of extending the concept of the structure to the longitudinally polarized virtual photon involved in hard collisions. We show that for moderate photon virtualities and in the kinematical region accessible in current experiments at HERA and LEP, the contributions of its longitudinal polarization to hard collisions are sizable and should be taken into account as part of the resolved photon component.

Due to the nonperturbative masslessness of the ghost field, ghost loops that contribute to gluon Green's functions in the Landau gauge display infrared divergences, akin to those one would encounter in a conventional perturbative treatment. This is in sharp contrast with gluon loops, in which the perturbative divergences are tamed by the dynamical generation of a gluon mass acting as an effective infrared cutoff. In this paper, after reviewing the full nonperturbative origin of this divergence in the two-gluon sector, we discuss its implications for the three- and four-gluon sector, showing in particular that some of the form factors characterizing the corresponding Green's functions are bound to diverge in the infrared.

We have recently proposed a setup of the "Domain-Wall Standard Model" in 5D spacetime, where all the Standard Model (SM) fields are localized in certain domains of the extra 5th dimension. Utilizing this setup, we attempt to solve the fermion mass hierarchy problem of the SM. The mass hierarchy can be naturally explained by suitably distributing the fermions in different positions along the extra dimension. Due to these different localization points, the effective 4D gauge couplings of Kaluza-Klein (KK) mode gauge bosons to the SM fermions become non-universal. As a result, our model is severely constrained by the Flavor Changing Neutral Current (FCNC) measurements. We find two interesting cases in which our model is phenomenologically viable: (1) the KK-mode of the SM gauge bosons are extremely heavy and unlikely to be produced at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), while future FCNC measurements can reveal the existence of these heavy modes. (2) the width of the localized SM fermions is very narrow, leading to almost universal 4D KK-mode gauge couplings. In this case, the FCNC constraints can be easily avoided even if a KK gauge boson mass lies at the TeV scale. Such a light KK gauge boson can be searched at the LHC in the near future.

Using the non-equilibrium Green function method (Kadanoff-Baym equations) in the expanding universe, we investigate evolution of the lepton number asymmetry when the right-handed (RH) neutrinos have almost degenerate masses $|M_i^2-M_j^2| \ll M_i^2$. The resonantly enhanced $CP$-violating parameter $\varepsilon_i$ associated with the decay of the RH neutrino $N_i$ is obtained. It is proportional to an enhancement factor $(M_i^2-M_j^2) M_i \Gamma_j/ ((M_i^2-M_j^2)^2 +R_{ij}^2)$ with the regulator $R_{ij}=M_i \Gamma_i+M_j \Gamma_j$. The result is consistent with the previous result obtained by Garny et al., in a constant background with an out-of-equilibrium initial state. We discuss the origin of such a regulator, and why it is not like $R_{ij}=M_i \Gamma_i-M_j \Gamma_j$.

We report on a calculation of large scale anisotropy in the cosmic microwave background radiation in the global monopole and texture models for cosmic structure formation. We have evolved the six component linear gravitational field along with the monopole or texture scalar fields numerically in an expanding universe and performed the Sachs-Wolfe integrals directly on the calculated gravitational fields. On scales $> 7^\circ$, we find a Gaussian distribution with an approximately scale invariant fluctuation spectrum. The $\Delta T/T$ amplitude is a factor of 4-5 larger than the prediction of the standard CDM model with the same Hubble constant and density fluctuation normalization. The recently reported COBE-DMR results imply that global monopole and texture models require high bias factors or a large Hubble constant in contrast to standard CDM which requires very low $H_0$ and bias values. For $H_0 = 70 {\rm {km\over sec} Mpc^{-1}}$, we find that normalizing to the COBE results implies $b_8 \simeq 3.2\pm 1.4$ (95\% c.l.). If we restrict ourselves to the range of bias factors thought to be reasonable before the announcement of the COBE results, $1.5 \lsim b_8 \lsim 2.5$, then it is fair to conclude that global monopoles and textures are consistent with the COBE results and are a {\it better} fit than Standard CDM.

The Kaluza-Klein(KK) gauge bosons, KK scalars and KK fermions in the GHU models can drastically change the strong gravity scale and the unitarity violation scale. In particular we consider two models GHU_SM and GHU_MSSM which have the zero modes corresponding to the particle content of the Standard Model and the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model, respectively. We find that the strong gravity scale could be lowered as much as 10^13 (10^14) GeV in the GHU_SM (GHU_MSSM) for one extra dimension taking 1 TeV as the compactification scale. It is also shown that these scales are proportional to the inverse of the number of extra dimensions d. In the d=10 case, they could be lowered up to 10^5 GeV for both models. We also find that the maximum compactification scales of extra dimensions quickly converge into one special scale M_O near Planck scale or equivalently into one common radius R_0 irrespectively of d as the number of zero modes increases. It may mean that all extra dimensions emerge with the same radius near Planck scale. In addition, it is shown that the supersymmetry can help to remove the discordance between the strong gravity scale and the unitarity violation scale.

Low energy cosmic ray antideuterons provide a unique low background channel for indirect detection of dark matter. We compute the cosmic ray flux of antideuterons from hadronic annihilations of dark matter for various Standard Model final states and determine the mass reach of two future experiments (AMS-02 and GAPS) designed to greatly increase the sensitivity of antideuteron detection over current bounds. We consider generic models of scalar, fermion, and massive vector bosons as thermal dark matter, describe their basic features relevant to direct and indirect detection, and discuss the implications of direct detection bounds on models of dark matter as a thermal relic. We also consider specific dark matter candidates and assess their potential for detection via antideuterons from their hadronic annihilation channels. Since the dark matter mass reach of the GAPS experiment can be well above 100 GeV, we find that antideuterons can be a good indirect detection channel for a variety of thermal relic electroweak scale dark matter candidates, even when the rate for direct detection is highly suppressed.

The large center of mass energy and increasing statistical precision for a wide range of hadronic final state observables at the HERA lepton-proton collider has provided a detailed testing ground for QCD dynamics. Fully flexible next-to-leading order calculations are mandatory on the theoretical side for such tests and will be discussed in detail. Next-to-leading order QCD predictions for one- and two-jet cross sections in deep inelastic scattering with complete neutral current ($\gamma^\ast$ and/or $Z$) and charged current ($W^\pm$) exchange together with leading order results for three- and four-jet final states are presented. The theoretical framework, based on the phase space slicing method and the use of universal crossing functions, is described in detail. All analytical formulae necessary for the next-to-leading order calculations are provided. The numerical results are based on the fully differential $ep \to n$ jets event generator \docuname which allows to analyze any infrared and collinear safe observable and general cuts in terms of parton 4-momenta. The importance of higher order corrections is studied for various jet algorithms. Implications and comparisons with (ongoing) experimental analyses for jet cross sections at high $Q^2$, the determination of $\alpha_s(\mu_R)$, the gluon density, power corrections in event shapes and the associated forward jet production in the low $x$ regime at HERA are discussed. A study of jet cross sections in polarized electron and polarized proton collisions shows that dijet events provide a good measurement of the polarized gluon distribution $\Delta g(x_g)$, in a region, where $x_g \Delta g(x_g)$ is expected to show a maximum.

We discuss effects related to the fact that the final state particles of a reaction e+ e- -> t \bar{t} H are actually produced and they decay off mass shell. For the intermediate mass Higgs boson, which decays preferably into a b\bar{b}-quark pair, the reaction will be observed through reactions with 8 fermions in the final state. Such reactions, already in the lowest order of the standard model, receive contributions typically from a few dozen thousands of the Feynman diagrams, the vast majority of which constitute background to the signal of associated production of the top quark pair and Higgs boson. In order to illustrate pure off mass shell effects we neglect the background contributions and compare the `signal' cross section with the cross section in the narrow width approximation for e+ e- -> b u \bar{d} \bar{b} mu- \bar{nu}_mu b \bar{b}, which is one of possible detection channels of the associated production of the top quark pair and Higgs boson at a linear collider.

This dissertation reviews the Standard Model formalism as well as the Lepton Flavour Violating (LFV) decay processes which cause its extension, known as the physics beyond the SM. Firstly, using the experimental bounds on three body LFV decays, the corresponding bounds on two body LFV decays are reviewed. The dynamical suppression of three body LFV decays due to momentum dependent couplings is also reviewed. Secondly, the role of the LFV decays to explain the LSND excess is discussed in detail, for which the experimental bounds on three body LFV decays, i.e. \mu -> 3e are used to constraint the coupling \tilde{g}_{Z_{\mu e}}, which is needed to calculate the anomalous muon decay \mu -> e\nu_l\bar{\nu}_l. Then comparing the effective coupling of anomalous muon decay to r>1.6\times 10^{-3} [9809524], it is proved that LFV is not the correct hypothesis to explain the LSND excess. Finally, LFV decays at loop order are studied in Seesaw model of neutrino masses [PRL. 86 2502 (2001)] where the smallness of the Seesaw neutrino mass may be naturally realized with m_N (mass of right-handed singlet neutrinos) of order 1 TeV. It is shown that the Higgs mass of a new scalar doublet with lepton number L=-1 needed in the model has to be larger than 50 TeV to get the branching ratio of \mu -> 3e to be consistent with the existing bound on \mu -> 3e. This defeats the original motivation of the model, namely that there is no physics beyond the TeV energy scale.

Transverse-momentum-dependent parton distribution functions (TMDs) were investigated at the twists 3 and 4 for spin-1 hadrons in addition to the twist-2 ones. They were found by studying all the possible decomposition of a quark correlation function in a Lorentz-invariant way with the Hermiticity and parity invariance. The time-reversal invariance was not imposed for the TMDs due to an active role of gauge links; however, they were used for collinear parton distribution functions (PDFs) by integrating the TMDs over the transverse momentum. We found that 30 TMDs exist in the tensor-polarized spin-1 hadron at the twists 3 and 4, whereas there are 10 TMDs at the twist 2. We also showed that there are 3 collinear PDFs at the twists 3 and 4. The corresponding TMD fragmentation functions exist sat the twists 2, 3, and 4 simply by changing function names and variables. Since the time-reversal invariance is valid in the collinear PDFs, the integrals of time-reversal-odd TMDs over the transverse momentum should vanish. It leads to the sum rules $ \int d^2 k_T \, h_{1LT} (x, k_T^{\, 2}) = \int d^2 k_T g_{LT} (x, k_T^{\, 2}) = \int d^2 k_T h_{LL} (x, k_T^{\, 2}) = \int d^2 k_T h_{3LL}(x, k_T^{\, 2}) =0$ on the time-reversal odd TMDs at the twists 3 and 4.

We propose a simple mechanism of light dark matter (DM) production from the decay of the oscillating inflaton condensation. If the reheating temperature after inflation is higher than the inflaton mass, which is of the same order of the momentum of the DM at the time of the production, the DM momentum can be suppressed compared to the temperature of the thermal plasma if the interaction of the DM is weak enough. Consequently, the DM can be cold enough to avoid the observational constraints on the warm DM, like the Lyman-$\alpha$ bound even if the DM mass is small. We study the bosonic and fermionic DM production from the inflaton decay, taking into account the effect of the stimulated emission and Pauli blocking, respectively. In both cases, the DM can be cold and abundant enough to be a viable candidate of the DM. We also apply our mechanism to the production of isocurvature-problem-free axion DM and Dirac sea DM of right-handed neutrino consistent the seesaw relation for the active neutrino masses.

We present the new MSHT20 set of parton distribution functions (PDFs) of the proton, determined from global analyses of the available hard scattering data. The PDFs are made available at NNLO, NLO, and LO, and supersede the MMHT14 sets. They are obtained using the same basic framework, but the parameterisation is now adapted and extended, and there are 32 pairs of eigenvector PDFs. We also include a large number of new data sets: from the final HERA combined data on total and heavy flavour structure functions, to final Tevatron data, and in particular a significant number of new LHC 7 and 8 TeV data sets on vector boson production, inclusive jets and top quark distributions. We include up to NNLO QCD corrections for all data sets that play a major role in the fit, and NLO EW corrections where relevant. We find that these updates have an important impact on the PDFs, and for the first time the NNLO fit is strongly favoured over the NLO, reflecting the wider range and in particular increased precision of data included in the fit. There are some changes to central values and a significant reduction in the uncertainties of the PDFs in many, though not all, cases. Nonetheless, the PDFs and the resulting predictions are generally within one standard deviation of the MMHT14 results. The major changes are the $u-d$ valence quark difference at small $x$, due to the improved parameterisation and new precise data, the $\bar d, \bar u$ difference at small $x$, due to a much improved parameterisation, and the strange quark PDF due to the effect of LHC $W,Z$ data and inclusion of new NNLO corrections for dimuon production in neutrino DIS. We discuss the phenomenological impact of our results, and in general find reduced uncertainties in predictions for processes such as Higgs, top quark pair and $W,Z$ production at post LHC Run-II energies.

In this work, we calculate the nonrelativistic asymptotic behavior of the amplitudes of $q\overline{q}\rightarrow 2g \rightarrow q\overline{q}$ in the leading order of $\alpha_s$ (LO-$\alpha_s$) with $q\overline{q}$ in the $^3P_J$ channels. In the practical calculation we take the momenta of quarks and antiquarks on-shell and expand the amplitudes on the three-momentum of the quarks and antiquarks to order 6 and get three nonzero terms. The imaginary parts of the first term and the second term are the old. The real parts of the results have IR divergence. When applying the results to the heavy quarkonia, the corresponding amplitude of $q\overline{q}\rightarrow1g\rightarrow q\overline{q}$ with $q\overline{q}$ in the color octet $^3S_1$ channel is considered to absorb the IR divergence in a unitary way in the leading order of $v$ (LO-$v$). The finial results can be used to estimate the mass shifts of the $^3P_J$ heavy quarkonia due to the effect of two-gluon annihilation. The numerical estimation shows that the contributions to the mass shifts of $\chi_{c0,c1,c2}$ are about $1.23\sim1.58$ MeV, $1.57\sim1.86$ MeV and $5.92\sim5.45$ MeV when taking $\alpha_s\approx 0.25\sim0.35$.

By the application of a linear mass spectrum to a composite system of both the pseudoscalar and scalar meson nonets, we find three mass relations for the masses of the scalar states which suggest the $q\bar{q}$ assignment for the scalar meson nonet: $a_0(1320),$ $K_0^\ast (1430),$ $f_0(1500),$ $f_0'(980).$

We consider transverse momentum dependent gluon distributions inside both unpolarized and transversely polarized protons and show how they can be probed by looking at azimuthal modulations in $e \, p \to e \, J/\psi \, \mathrm{jet} \, X$. We find that the contribution due to quark induced subprocesses is always suppressed in the considered kinematic regions, accessible in principle at a future Electron-Ion Collider. Our model-independent estimates of the maximal values of these asymmetries allowed by positivity bounds suggest the feasibility of their measurement. In addition, by adopting the McLerran-Venugopalan model for the unpolarized and linearly polarized gluon densities, we study the behavior of the $\cos2\phi$ asymmetries in the small-$x$ limit.

We study lepton flavor violating (LFV) tau and B decays in models with heavy neutrinos to constrain the mixing matrix parameters U_{tau N}. We find that the best current constraints when the heavy neutrinos are purely left-handed come from LFV radiative tau decay modes. To obtain competitive constraints in LFV B decay it is necessary to probe b -> X_{s} tau^{\pm} e^{\mp} at the 10^{-7} level. When the heavy neutrinos have both left and right-handed couplings, the mixing parameters can be constrained by studying LFV B decay modes and LFV tau decay into three charged leptons. We find that the branching ratios B(tau^{\pm} -> l_1^{\pm} l_2^{\pm} l_3^{\mp}), B(B_{s} -> tau^{\pm} e^{\mp}) and B(b -> X_{s} l_1^{\pm} l_2^{\mp}) need to be probed at the 10^{-8} level in order to constrain the mixing parameters beyond what is known from unitarity.

In this talk, we present the results of the complete one-loop matching of the seesaw model onto its low-energy effective theory by integrating out three right-handed neutrinos at the one-loop level. We find that there are 31 independent dimension-6 (dim-6) operators (barring flavor structures and Hermitian conjugates) in the Warsaw basis, and the standard-model couplings and the Wilson coefficient of the Weinberg operator acquire threshold corrections at the one-loop level. The complete Lagrangian up to dim-6 at the one-loop level is derived, which is indispensable for consistent explorations of the impact of heavy right-handed neutrinos at low energies.

The behavior of $\pi^0$ meson properties in the presence of a uniform external magnetic field is studied in the context of a nonlocal extension of the Polyakov-Nambu-Jona-Lasinio model. The analysis includes the $\pi^0$ mass, the effective $\pi^0$-quark coupling and the pion-to-vacuum hadronic form factors, both at zero and finite temperature. Numerical results are compared with previous calculations carried out within the local NJL model, when available. The validity of chiral relations and the features of deconfinement and chiral symmetry restoration transitions are discussed.

An analytical solution based on the Laplace transformation technique for the DGLAP evolution equations is presented at next-to-leading order accuracy in perturbative QCD. This technique is also applied to extract the analytical solution for the proton structure function, $F_2^p(x, Q^2)$, in the Laplace $s$-space. We present the results for the separate parton distributions for all parton species, including valence quark densities, the anti-quark and strange sea parton distribution functions (PDFs), and the gluon distribution. We successfully compare the obtained parton distribution functions and the proton structure function with the results from {\tt GJR08} and {\tt KKT12} parametrization models as well as the $x$-space results using {\tt QCDnum} code. Our calculations show a very good agreement with the available theoretical models as well as the deep inelastic scattering (DIS) experimental data throughout the small and large values of $x$. The use of our analytical solution to extract the parton densities and the proton structure function is discussed in detail to justify the analysis method considering the accuracy and speed of calculations. Overall, the accuracy we obtain from the analytical solution using the inverse Laplace transform technique is found to be better than 1 part in 10$^{4}$ to 10$^{5}$. We also present a detailed QCD analysis of non-singlet structure functions using all available DIS data to perform global QCD fits. In this regard we employ the Jacobi polynomial approach to convert the results from Laplace $s$ space to Bjorken $x$ space. The extracted valence quark densities are also presented and compared to the {\tt JR14}, {\tt MMHT14}, {\tt NNPDF} and {\tt CJ15} PDFs sets. We evaluate the numerical effects of target mass corrections (TMCs) and higher twist (HT) terms on various structure functions, and compare fits to data with and without these corrections.

We investigate possible CP violating effects in $e^+e^-$ annihilation into top quark pairs. One of the interesting observable effects is the difference in production rates between the two CP conjugate polarized states $t_L\bar t_L$ and $t_R\bar t_R$. The result is an asymmetry in the energy spectra of the lepton and the anti-lepton from the heavy quark decays. Another CP-odd observable is the up-down asymmetry of the leptons with respect to the reaction plane. These two asymmetries measure complementarily the absorptive and dispersive form factors of the electric dipole moment. Finally, as an illustration, we calculate the size of the CP violating form factors in a model where the CP nonconservation originates from the Yukawa couplings of a neutral Higgs boson.

The recently developed hadron resonance gas model with multicomponent hard-core repulsion is used to address and resolve the long standing problem to describe the light nuclear cluster multiplicities including the hyper-triton measured by the STAR Collaboration, known as the hyper-triton chemical freeze-out puzzle. An unprecedentedly accurate description is obtained for the hadronic and other light nuclear cluster data measured by STAR at the collision energy $\sqrt{s_{NN}} =200$ GeV and by ALICE at $\sqrt{s_{NN}} =2.76$ TeV. This success is achieved by applying the new strategy of analyzing the light nuclear cluster data and by using the value for the hard-core radius of the (anti-)$\Lambda$ hyperons found in earlier work. One of the most striking results of the present work is that for the most probable scenario of chemical freeze-out for the STAR energy the obtained parameters allow to simultaneously reproduce the values of the experimental ratios $S_3$ and $\bar{S}_3$ which were not included in the fit.

Superheavy neutrinos can, via the seesaw model, provide a mechanism for lepton number violation. If they are combined with flavor violation as characterized by the Froggatt-Nielsen mechanism, then the phenomenology for the neutrinos in oscillation experiments, neutrinoless double beta decay, and other experiments can be described by a relatively few number of parameters. We describe the low-energy neutrino mass matrix and show that the results are consistent with currently available data.

Tests of CP violation by appropriate momentum correlations in $Z\to 3$ jets and in particular in $Z\to b\bar bX$ probe CP-violating effective couplings -- that manifest themselves as form factors -- which conserve the quark chirality and quark flavour. By giving two examples we show that such couplings can be induced at one-loop order in extensions of the Standard Model with CP violation beyond the Kobayashi-Maskawa phase. In one of the models we compute the chirality-conserving part of the CP-violating $Zb{\bar b}$-gluon amplitude for massless $b$ quarks, determine the resulting effective dimension $d=6$ couplings in the local limit, and discuss the possible size of the effects. Finally we show that in models with excited quarks the chiral-invariant CP-violating effective interactions could be quite large if appropriate couplings are of a size characteristic of a strong interaction

At the energy below the $2m_Z$ threshold $\sqrt{s}=$ 175 GeV Higgs boson production under the $m_H+m_Z$ threshold is practically background free.

We study the response functions (chromo-electric susceptibilities) of quark-gluon plasma as a function of temperature in the presence of interactions. We consider two equations of state for hot QCD. The first one is fully perturbative, of $O(g^5)$ EOS and, and the second one which is $O[g^6\ln(1/g)+\delta]$, incorporates some non-perturbative effects. Following a recent work (Physical Review {\bf C 76}, 054909(2007)), the interaction effects contained in the EOS are encapsulated in terms of effective chemical potentials($\tilde\mu$) in the equilibrium distribution functions for the partons.By using them in another recent formulation of the response functions({\tt arXiv:0707.3697}), we determine explicitly the chromo-electric susceptibilities for QCD plasma. We find that it shows large deviations from the ideal behavior. We further study the modification in the heavy quark potential due to the medium effects. In particular, we determine the temperature dependence of the screening lengths by fixing the effective coupling constant $Q$ which appears in the transport equation by comparing the screening in the present formalism with exact lattice QCD results. Finally, we study the dissociation phenomena of heavy quarkonium states such as $c\bar{c}$ and $b\bar{b}$, and determine the dissociation temperatures. Our results are in good agreement with recent lattice results.

The paper reports analysis of momentum fractions carried by quarks and gluons in models of Proton structure functions at small $x$. First, we analyze the model proposed by Lastovicka based on self-similarity sometime back. We then make a similar analysis for a second model based on the same notion which is also free from singularity in $x$ : $0<x<1$. The predictions of both the models are then compared with a recent QCD based Froissart bound compatible model of proton structure function at small $x$, suggested by Block, Durand, Ha and McKay. The results are then compared with the corresponding study in perturbative and Lattice QCD.

We discuss the implications of charged lepton energy cut to the hadronic invariant mass spectrum in charmless semileptonic B decays. Charged-lepton energy cut is inevitable in order to remove secondary leptonic events such as b -> c, tau -> l, and to identify the chaged leptons at detectors experimentally. We consider three possible lepton energy cuts, E_l^{cuts} = 0.6,1.5,2.3 GeV, and found that with the most probable cuts E_l^{cut} = 1.5 GeV and M_X^{max} = 1.5~(1.86) GeV, 45 ~ 60 % ~(58 ~ 67 %) of decay events survive. Therefore, B -> X_u l nu decay events can be efficiently distinguished from B -> X_c l nu decay events. We also discuss the possible model dependence on the results.

Supersymmetric models with a strongly interacting superconformal hidden sector (HS) may drive soft SUSY breaking scalar masses, bilinear soft term B\mu and Higgs combinations m_{H_{u,d}}^2+\mu^2 to small values at some intermediate scale, leading to unique sparticle mass spectra along with possibly diminished finetuning in spite of a large superpotential $\mu$ parameter. We set up a computer code to calculate such spectra, which are then susceptible to a variety of constraints: 1. possible charge-or-color breaking (CCB) minima in the scalar potential, 2. unbounded from below (UFB) scalar potential, 3. improper electroweak symmetry breaking, 4. a charged or sneutrino lightest SUSY particle (LSP), 5. generating m_h~ 125 GeV, 6. consistency with LHC sparticle mass limits, and 7. naturalness. We find this bevy of constraints leaves little or no viable parameter space for the case where hidden sector dynamics dominates MSSM running, even for the case of non-universal gaugino masses. For the case with moderate HS running with comparable MSSM running, and with universal gaugino masses, then the finetuning is ameliorated, but nonetheless remains high. Viable spectra with moderate HS running and with low finetuning and large mu can be found for non-universal gaugino masses.

In the vanilla type-I seesaw leptogenesis scenario, CP violation required to generate the lepton asymmetries in the heavy Majorana neutrino decays stem from complex Dirac-type Yukawa couplings. In this paper we explore the case in which that CP violation originates from the vacuum expectation value of a complex scalar singlet at a very high scale. This non-trivial CP-violating phase can be successfully communicated to the low-energy neutrino sector via the heavy neutrino portal. The new scalar-singlet degrees of freedom generate new contributions to the CP asymmetries relevant for leptogenesis not only at the one-loop level but also through tree-level three-body decays. These are computed here for an arbitrary number of heavy neutrinos, Higgs doublets and scalar singlets. We also take into account the new decays and scattering processes that enter the unflavoured Boltzmann equations governing the heavy-neutrino particle densities and the $(B-L)$-asymmetry evolution. Having established the framework of interest, we present a simple model with two RH neutrinos, two Higgs doublets and a complex scalar singlet, supplemented with a $\mathcal{Z}_8$ flavour symmetry. This symmetry minimises the number of free parameters without compromising the possibility of spontaneous CP violation and compatibility with neutrino data. In fact, the only viable $\mathcal{Z}_8$ charge assignment shows a preference for a non-trivial spontaneous CP-violating phase, which in turn leads to a non-vanishing CP asymmetry due to the direct link between high- and low-energy CP violation. An interesting feature of this simple setup is that the usual wave and vertex type-I seesaw contributions to the CP asymmetry vanish due to the $\mathcal{Z}_8$ symmetry. Thus, the observed baryon-to-photon ratio can be explained thanks to the new couplings among the heavy neutrinos and the new scalar degrees of freedom.

We propose a new leptogenesis scenario in which the lepton asymmetry and matter particles are simultaneously generated due to the coherent oscillating Higgs background. To demonstrate the possibility of our scenario, we consider the type-I seesaw model as an illuminating example and show the numerical analysis. In order to generate the required lepton number $|n_L/s| = 2.4 \times 10^{-10}$, we find that the scales of the Higgs background oscillation and the lightest right-handed neutrinos mass are required to be higher than $10^{14}$ GeV

At this order, also effects from the interference of EW and QCD contributions have to be taken into account. Moreover, photon-induced top-squark production is considered as an additional partonic channel, which arises from the non-zero photon density in the proton.

We reformulate perturbation theory for neutrino oscillations in matter with an expansion parameter related to the ratio of the solar to the atmospheric $\Delta m^2$ scales. Unlike previous works, we use a renormalized basis in which certain first-order effects are taken into account in the zeroth-order Hamiltonian. We show that the new framework has an exceptional feature that leads to the neutrino oscillation probability in matter with the same structure as in vacuum to first order in the expansion parameter. It facilitates immediate physical interpretation of the formulas, and makes the expressions for the neutrino oscillation probabilities extremely simple and compact. We find, for example, that the $\nu_e$ disappearance probability at this order is of a simple two-flavor form with an appropriately identified mixing angle and $\Delta m^2$. More generally, all the oscillation probabilities can be written in the universal form with the channel-discrimination coefficient of $0,~\pm1$ or simple functions of $\theta_{23}$. Despite their simple forms they include all order effects of $\theta_{13}$ and all order effects of the matter potential, to first order in our expansion parameter.

We show that in supersymmetric unified theories such as SO(10), implementation of the see-saw mechanism for neutrino masses introduces a new set of color triplet fields and thereby a new source of d=5 proton decay operators. For neutrino masses in a plausible range, these operators are found to have the right strength to yield observable, but not yet excluded, proton decay rates. The flavor structure of the new operators is distinctive. Proton decay modes into a charged lepton, such as l^+ \pi^0, l^+ K^0 and l^+ \eta where l = e or \mu, can become prominent, even for low or moderate values of tan(\beta) < 10, along with the \nu K^+ and \nu \pi^+ modes. A distinctive feature is the charged lepton modes involving an e^+ and/or a \mu^+ with the ratio \Gamma(l^+ K^0):\Gamma(l^+ \pi^0) = 2:1.

We discuss theoretical and phenomenological aspects of the use of boson propagators with energy-dependent widths in predictions for high-energy scattering processes. In general, gauge invariance is violated in such calculations. We discuss several approaches to restore gauge invariance, necessary for a reliable result. The most promising method is the addition of the relevant parts of the fermionic corrections, which fulfills all Ward identities. The numerical difference between this and other approaches is studied. A number of recommendations are given for LEP2 computations.

Simple and plausible rules are used to correlate the masses of the ground-state baryons containing single heavy ($b$ or $c$) quarks. A comparison with the experimental data shows that the observed mass difference between the $\Sigma_b$ and the $\Sigma^*_b$ is unexpectedly large. Predictions for the masses of the yet undiscovered heavy baryons are given.

For addressing the remarkable difference between neutrino and quark mixings, high-scale mixings relations (HSMR) or unification (HSMU) hypothe\ ses were proposed. These phenomenology frameworks have been explored with respect to bounds from neutrino oscillations and relevant cosmologic\ al data. However there are caveats with regards to assessing the hypotheses' compatibility with data in a statistically robust and convergent \ manner because most analysis employ a few sample of points in model parameters' space. A remedy could be achieved by using Bayesian algorithms\ for the parameters' space exploration. Using this approach, we made global fits of the HSMU and HSMR models to data and find compatible param\ eter regions, including for Majorana phases. The posterior samples could be used for studying correlations between neutrino observables and pr\ ospects for updates of related experiments.

It was recently pointed out that in supersymmetric scenarios with gravitino dark matter and bilinear R-parity violation, gravitinos with masses below Mw typically decay with a sizable branching ratio into the 3-body final states W^*+lepton and Z^*+neutrino. In this paper we study the indirect detection signatures of gravitino dark matter including such final states. First, we obtain the gamma ray spectrum from gravitino decays, which features a monochromatic contribution from the decay into photon+neutrino and a continuum contribution from the three-body decays. After studying its dependence on supersymmetric parameters, we compute the expected gamma ray fluxes and derive new constraints, from recent FERMI data, on the R-parity breaking parameter and on the gravitino lifetime. Indirect detection via antimatter searches, a new possibility brought about by the three-body final states, is also analyzed. For models compatible with the gamma ray observations, the positron signal is found to be negligible whereas the antiproton one can be significant.

The Monte Carlo event generator HYDJET++ is one of the few generators, designed for the calculations of heavy-ion collisions at ultrarelativistic energies, which combine treatment of soft hydro-like processes with the description of jets traversing the hot and dense partonic medium. The model is employed to study the azimuthal anisotropy phenomena, dihadron angular correlations and event-by-event (EbyE) fluctuations of the anisotropic flow in Pb+Pb collisions at $\sqrt{s_{NN}} = 2.76$ TeV. The interplay of soft and hard processes describes the violation of the mass hierarchy of meson and baryon elliptic and triangular flows at p_T > 2 GeV/c, the fall-off of the flow harmonics at intermediate transverse momenta, and the worsening of the number-of-constituent-quark (NCQ) scaling of elliptic/triangular flow at LHC compared to RHIC energies. The cross-talk of v_2 and v_3 leads to emergence of higher order harmonics in the model and to appearance of the ridge structure in dihadron angular correlations in a broad pseudorapidity range. HYDJET++ possesses also the dynamical EbyE fluctuations of the anisotropic flow. The model results agree well with the experimental data.

Using recently developed techniques for computing event shapes with Soft-Collinear Effective Theory, LEP event shape data is used to derive strong model-independent bounds on new colored particles. In the effective field theory computation, colored particles contribute in loops not only to the running of alpha_s but also to the running of hard, jet and soft functions. Moreover, the differential distribution in the effective theory explicitly probes many energy scales, so event shapes have strong sensitivity to new particle thresholds. Using thrust data from ALEPH and OPAL, colored adjoint fermions (such as a gluino) below 51.0 GeV are ruled out to 95% confidence level. This is nearly an order-of-magnitude improvement over the previous model-independent bound of 6.3 GeV.

We review transverse momentum distributions of various identified charged particles stemming from high energy collisions fitted by various non-extensive distributions as well as by the usual Boltzmann-Gibbs statistics. We investigate the best-fit formula with the obtained $\chi^2/ndf$ values. We find that the physical mass and $\sqrt{s}$ scaling become more explicit with heavier produced hadrons in both proton-proton and heavy-ion collisions. The spectral shape parameters, in particular the temperature $T$ and the non-extensive Tsallis parameter $q$, do exhibit an almost linear dependence with the centrality-dependence in heavy-ion collisions.

We continue our endeavor to investigate lepton number violating (LNV) processes at low energy in the framework of effective field theory (EFT). In this work we study the LNV tau decays $\tau^+\rightarrow \ell^-P_i^{+}P_j^{+}$, where $\ell=e,~\mu$ and $P^+_{i,j}$ are the lowest-lying charged pseudoscalars $\pi^+,~K^+$. We analyze the dominant contributions in a series of EFTs from high to low energy scales, namely, the standard model effective field theory (SMEFT), the low-energy effective field theory (LEFT), and the chiral perturbation theory ($\chi$PT). The decay branching ratios are expressed in terms of the Wilson coefficients of dimension-five and -seven operators in SMEFT and hadronic low energy constants. These Wilson coefficients involve the first and second generations of quarks and all generations of leptons and thus cannot be explored in low energy processes such as nuclear neutrinoless double decay or LNV kaon decays. Unfortunately, the current experimental upper limits on the branching ratios are too weak to set useful constraints on those coefficients. Or, if we assume the new physics scale is larger than 1 TeV, the branching ratios are well below the current experimental bounds. We also estimate hadronic uncertainties incurred in applying $\chi$PT to $\tau$ decays by computing one-loop chiral logarithms and attempt to improve convergence of chiral perturbation by employing dispersion relations in the short-distance part of the decay amplitudes.

We introduce a new event shape observable -- event isotropy -- that quantifies how close the radiation pattern of a collider event is to a uniform distribution. This observable is based on a normalized version of the energy mover's distance, which is the minimum "work" needed to rearrange one radiation pattern into another of equal energy. We investigate the utility of event isotropy both at electron-positron colliders, where events are compared to a perfectly spherical radiation pattern, as well as at proton-proton colliders, where the natural comparison is to either cylindrical or ring-like patterns. Compared to traditional event shape observables like sphericity and thrust, event isotropy exhibits a larger dynamic range for high-multiplicity events. This enables event isotropy to not only distinguish between dijet and multijet processes but also separate uniform N-body phase space configurations for different values of N. As a key application of this new observable, we study its performance to characterize strongly-coupled new physics scenarios with isotropic collider signatures.

We present a new, model independent method for extracting bounds for the anomalous $\gamma WW$ couplings from hadron collider experiments. At the partonic level we introduce a set of three observables which are constructed from the unpolarized differential cross-section for the process $d\bar{u}\to W^{-}\gamma$ by appropriate convolution with a set of simple polynomials depending only on the center-of-mass angle. One of these observables allows for the direct determination of the anomalous coupling usually denoted by $\Delta\kappa$, without any simplifying assumptions, and without relying on the presence of a radiation zero. The other two observables impose two sum rules on the remaining three anomalous couplings. The inclusion of the structure functions is discussed in detail for both $p\bar{p}$ and $pp$ colliders. We show that, whilst for $p\bar{p}$ experiments this can be accomplished straightforwardly, in the $pp$ case one has to resort to somewhat more elaborate techniques, such as the binning of events according to their longitudinal momenta.

The decay mode $\psi(2S)\to J/\psi+\gamma\gamma$ is proposed in order to experimentally identify the effects of the coupling of charmonium states to the continuum $D\bar D$ states. To have a better understanding of such a two-photon decay process, in this work we restrict ourselves to investigate the contribution of the discrete part, in which the photons are mainly produced via the intermediate states $\chi_{cJ}(nP)$. Besides calculating the resonance contributions of $\chi_{cJ}(1P)\; (J=0,1,2)$, we also take into account the contributions of the higher excited states $\chi_{cJ}(2P)$ and the interference effect among the 1P and 2P states. We find that the contribution of the 2P states and the interference terms to the total decay width is very tiny. However, for specific regions of the Dalitz plot, off the resonance peaks, we find that these contributions are sizable and should also be accounted for. We also provide the photon spectrum and study the polarization of $J/\psi$.

We consider Supersymmetric (SUSY) and non-SUSY models of chaotic inflation based on the phi^n potential with n=2 or 4. We show that the coexistence of an exponential nonminimal coupling to gravity, fR=Exp(cR phi^p), with a kinetic mixing of the form fK=cK fR^m can accommodate inflationary observables favored by the Planck and Bicep2/Keck Array results for p=1 and 2, 1<=m<=15 and 2.6x10^(-3)<=rRK=cR/cK^(p/2)<=1, where the upper limit is not imposed for p=1. Inflation is of hilltop type and it can be attained for subplanckian inflaton values with the corresponding effective theories retaining the perturbative unitarity up to the Planck scale. The supergravity embedding of these models is achieved employing two chiral gauge singlet supefields, a monomial superpotential and several (semi)logarithmic or semipolynomial Kaehler potentials.

We show that the coexistence of an exponential nonminimal coupling to gravity, fR=Exp(cR phi^p), with a kinetic mixing of the form fK=cK fR^m can accommodate inflationary observables favored by the Planck and Bicep2/Keck Array results for p=1 and 2, 1<=m<=15 and 2.6x10^(-3)<=rRK=cR/cK^(p/2)<=1, where the upper limit is not imposed for p=1. Inflation is of hilltop type and it can be attained for subplanckian inflaton values with the corresponding effective theories retaining the perturbative unitarity up to the Planck scale. The supergravity embedding of these models is achieved employing two chiral gauge singlet supefields, a monomial superpotential and several (semi)logarithmic or semipolynomial Kaehler potentials.

The potential energy of a static charge distribution on a lattice is rigorously computed in the standard compact quantum electrodynamic model. The method used follows closely that of Weyl for ordinary quantum electrodynamics in continuous space-time. The potential energy of the static charge distribution is independent of temperature and can be calculated from the lattice version of Poisson's equation. It is the usual Coulomb potential.

In the diquark-quark model of the nucleon including scalar and axialvector diquarks we compare solutions of the ladder Bethe-Salpeter equation in the instantaneous Salpeter approximation and in the fully covariant (i.e. four-dimensional) treatment. We obtain that the binding energy is severly underestimated in the Salpeter approximation. For the electromagnetic form factors of the nucleon we find that in both approaches the overall shapes of the respective form factors are reasonably similar up to $Q^2 \approx 0.4$ GeV^2. However, the magnetic moments differ substantially as well as results for the pion-nucleon and the axial coupling of the nucleon.

We study the pion electromagnetic form factor and the dilepton production rate in hot matter using the hidden local symmetry theory as an effective field theory for pions and rho mesons. In this framework, the chiral symmetry restoration is realized as the vector manifestation (VM) in which the massless vector meson becomes the chiral partner of the pion, giving a theoretical support to the dropping rho a la Brown-Rho scaling. In the VM the vector dominance (VD) is strongly violated near the phase transition point associated with the dropping $\rho$. We show that the effect of the violation of the VD substantially suppresses the dilepton production rate compared with the one predicted by assuming the VD together with the dropping rho.

We investigate a new type of a two-Higgs-doublet model as a solution of the muon $g-2$ anomaly. We impose a softly-broken $Z_4$ symmetry to forbid tree level flavor changing neutral currents in a natural way. This $Z_4$ symmetry restricts the structure of Yukawa couplings. As a result, extra Higgs boson couplings to muons are enhanced by a factor of $\tan\beta$, while their couplings to all the other standard model fermions are suppressed by $\cot\beta$. Thanks to this coupling property, we can avoid the constraint from leptonic $\tau$ decays in contrast to the lepton specific two-Higgs-doublet model, which can explain the muon $g-2$ within the 2$\sigma$ level but cannot within the $1\sigma$ level due to this constraint. We find that the model can explain the muon $g-2$ within the 1$\sigma$ level satisfying constraints from perturbative unitarity, vacuum stability, electroweak precision measurements, and current LHC data.

The backward Compton scattering is a basic process at future higher energy photon colliders. To obtain a high probability of e->gamma conversion the density of laser photons in the conversion region should be so high that simultaneous interaction of one electron with several laser photons is possible (nonlinear Compton effect). In this paper a detailed consideration of energy spectra, helicities of final photons and electrons in nonlinear backward Compton scattering of circularly polarized laser photons is given. Distributions of gamma-gamma luminosities with total helicities 0 and 2 are investigated. Very high intensity of laser wave leads to broadening of the energy (luminosity) spectra and shift to lower energies (invariant masses). Beside complicated exact formulae, approximate formulae for energy spectrum and polarization of backscattered photons are given for relatively small nonlinear parameter xi^2 (first order correction). All this is necessary for optimization of the conversion region at photon colliders and study of physics processes where a sharp edge of the luminosity spectrum and monochromaticity of collisions are important.

The intrinsic conformality is a general property of the renormalizable gauge theory, which ensures the scale-invariance of a fixed-order series at each perturbative order. Following the idea of intrinsic conformality, we suggest a novel single-scale setting approach under the principle of maximum conformality (PMC) with the purpose of removing the conventional renormalization scheme-and-scale ambiguities. We call this newly suggested single-scale procedure as the PMC$_{\infty}$-s approach, in which an overall effective $\alpha_s$, and hence an overall effective scale is achieved by identifying the $\{\beta_0\}$-terms at each order. Its resultant conformal series is scale-invariant and satisfies all renormalization group requirements. The PMC$_{\infty}$-s approach is applicable to any perturbatively calculable observables, and its resultant perturbative series provides an accurate basis for estimating the contribution from the unknown higher-order (UHO) terms. Using the Higgs decays into two gluons up to five-loop QCD corrections as an example, we show how the PMC$_{\infty}$-s works, and we obtain $\Gamma_{\rm H}\big|_{\text{PMC}_{\infty}\text{-s}}^{\rm PAA} = 334.45^{+7.07}_{-7.03}~{\rm KeV}$ and $\Gamma_{\rm H}\big|_{\text{PMC}_{\infty}\text{-s}}^{\rm B.A.} = 334.45^{+6.34}_{-6.29}~{\rm KeV}$. Here the errors are squared averages of those mentioned in the body of the text. The Pad$\acute{e}$ approximation approach (PAA) and the Bayesian approach (B.A.) have been adopted to estimate the contributions from the UHO-terms. We also demonstrate that the PMC$_{\infty}$-s approach is equivalent to our previously suggested single-scale setting approach (PMCs), which also follows from the PMC but treats the $\{\beta_i\}$-terms from different point of view. Thus a proper using of the renormalization group equation can provide a solid way to solve the scale-setting problem.

Many composite Higgs models predict the existence of vector-like quarks with masses outside the reach of the LHC, e.g. $m_Q \gtrsim 2$ TeV, in particular if these models contain a dark matter candidate. In such models the mass of the new resonances is bounded from above to satisfy the constraint from the observed relic density. We therefore develop new strategies to search for vector-like quarks at a future $100$ TeV collider and evaluate what masses and interactions can be probed. We find that masses as large as $\sim 6.4$ ($\sim 9$) TeV can be tested if the fermionic resonances decay into Standard Model (dark matter) particles. We also discuss the complementarity of dark matter searches, showing that most of the parameter space can be closed. On balance, this study motivates further the consideration of a higher-energy hadron collider for a next generation of facilities.

Flavor violating interactions of the Higgs boson are a generic feature of models with extended electroweak symmetry breaking sectors. Here, we investigate CP violation in these interactions, which can arise from interference of tree-level and 1-loop diagrams. We compute the CP asymmetry in flavor violating Higgs decays in an effective field theory with only one Higgs boson and in a general Type-III Two Higgs Doublet Model (2HDM). We find that large (~ O(10%)) asymmetries are possible in the 2HDM if one of the extra Higgs bosons has a mass similar to the Standard Model Higgs. For the poorly constrained decay modes h -> tau mu and h -> tau e, this implies that large lepton charge asymmetries could be detectable at the LHC. We quantify this by comparing the sensitivity of the LHC to existing direct and indirect constraints. Interestingly, detection prospects are best if Higgs mixing is relatively small - a situation that is preferred by the current data. Nevertheless, CP violation in h -> tau mu or h -> tau e will only be observable if nonzero rates for these decay modes are measured very soon.

We consider the constraints that can be imposed on a wide class of Inflation models in modified gravity scenarios in which the Friedmann equation is modified by the inclusion of $\rho^2$ terms, where $\rho$ is the total energy density. In particular we obtain the reheating temperature and gravitino abundance associated with the end of inflation. Whereas models of chaotic inflation and natural inflation can easily avoid the conventional gravitino overproduction problem, we show that supersymmetric hybrid inflation models (driven by both F and D-terms) do not work in the $\rho^2$ dominated era. We also study inflation driven by exponetial potentials in this modified background, and show that the gravitino production is suppressed enough to avoid there being a problem, although other conditions severely constrain these models.

Applications of the general theory of quantum electrodynamics with Lorentz- and CPT-violating operators of mass dimensions up to six are presented to Penning-trap experiments comparing charge-to-mass ratios between particles and antiparticles. Perturbation theory is used to derive Lorentz- and CPT-violating contributions to the energy levels and cyclotron frequencies of confined particles and antiparticles. We show that whether the experimental {\it interpreted} quantity $(|q|/m)_{\overline{w}}/(|q|/m)_{w} - 1$ is a clean measure of a CPT test depends on the context of the relevant theory. Existing experimental results of charge-to-mass ratio comparisons are used to obtain first-time constraints on 69 coefficients for Lorentz and CPT violation.

In the case of the best fit values of $\tan^2\theta_{12}$, $\tan^2\theta_{23}$, $\Delta m^2_{\rm sun}$ and $\Delta m_{\rm atm}^2$, the prediction of $|U_{e3}|$ is $0.11\sim 0.14$. The lower bound of $|U_{e3}|$ is 0.05, which depends on $\tan\theta_{12}$ and $\tan\theta_{23}$. We have investigated the stability of these predictions taking account of small corrections to zeros, which may come from radiative corrections or off-diagonal elements of the charged lepton massmatrix. The lower bound of $|U_{e3}|$ comes down considerably due to the small corrections to zeros.

The need to approximate functions is ubiquitous in science, either due to empirical constraints or high computational cost of accessing the function. In high-energy physics, the precise computation of the scattering cross-section of a process requires the evaluation of computationally intensive integrals. A wide variety of methods in machine learning have been used to tackle this problem, but often the motivation of using one method over another is lacking. Comparing these methods is typically highly dependent on the problem at hand, so we specify to the case where we can evaluate the function a large number of times, after which quick and accurate evaluation can take place. We consider four interpolation and three machine learning techniques and compare their performance on three toy functions, the four-point scalar Passarino-Veltman $D_0$ function, and the two-loop self-energy master integral $M$. We find that in low dimensions ($d = 3$), traditional interpolation techniques like the Radial Basis Function perform very well, but in higher dimensions ($d=5, 6, 9$) we find that multi-layer perceptrons (a.k.a neural networks) do not suffer as much from the curse of dimensionality and provide the fastest and most accurate predictions.

A general procedure for obtaining frame-independent, three-dimensional light-front coordinate-space wave functions is introduced. The third spatial coordinate, $\tilde z$ , is the frame independent coordinate conjugate to the light-front momentum coordinate $x={k^+\over P^+}$ which appears in the momentum-space light-front wave functions underlying generalized parton distributions, structure functions, distribution amplitudes, form factors, and other hadronic observables. These causal light-front coordinate-space wave functions are used to derive a general expression for the quark distribution function of hadrons as an integral over the frame-independent longitudinal distance (the Ioffe time) between virtual-photon absorption and emission appearing in the forward virtual photon-hadron Compton scattering amplitude. Specific examples using models derived from light-front holographic QCD show that the spatial extent of the proton eigenfunction in the longitudinal direction can have very large extent in $\tilde z$.

These lectures, presented at TASI 2018, provide a concise introduction to inflation, baryogenesis, and aspects of dark matter not covered by the other lectures. The emphasis for inflation is an intuitive understanding and techniques for constraining inflationary models. For baryogenesis we focus on two examples, leptogenesis and electroweak baryogenesis, with attention to singlet-assisted two-step phase transitions. Concerning dark matter, we review different classes of models distinguished by their mechanisms for obtaining the observed relic density, including thermal freeze-out, asymmetric dark matter, freeze-in, SIMP dark matter, the misalignment mechanism for ultralight scalars and axions, and production of primordial black holes during inflation. Problem sets are provided.

We apply the path optimization method to a QCD effective model with the Polyakov loop at finite density to circumvent the model sign problem. The Polyakov-loop extended Nambu--Jona-Lasinio model is employed as the typical QCD effective model and then the hybrid Monte-Carlo method is used to perform the path integration. To control the sign problem, the path optimization method is used with complexification of temporal gluon fields to modify the integral path in the complex space. We show that the average phase factor is well improved on the modified integral-path compared with that on the original one. This indicates that the complexification of temporal gluon fields may be enough to control the sign problem of QCD in the path optimization method.

All the neutrino oscillation parameters receive varying radiative corrections irrespective of the $m_S$ values at the electroweak scale, which are all within $3\sigma$ range of the latest global fit data at low value of $\tan \beta$ (30). NO is found to be more stable than IO for all four different NTBM mixing patterns.

We develop a formalism to describe the particle production out of equilibrium in terms of dynamical spectral functions, i.e. Wigner transformed Pauli-Jordan's and Hadamard's functions. We take an explicit example of a spatially homogeneous scalar theory under pulsed electric fields and investigate the time evolution of the spectral functions. In the out-state we find an oscillatory peak in Hadamard's function as a result of the mixing between positive- and negative-energy waves. The strength of this peak is of the linear order of the Bogoliubov mixing coefficient, whereas the peak corresponding to the Schwinger mechanism is of the quadratic order. Between the in- and the out-states we observe a continuous flow of the spectral peaks together with two transient oscillatory peaks. We also discuss the medium effect at finite temperature and density. We emphasise that the entire structure of the spectral functions conveys rich information on real-time dynamics including the particle production.

We consider an extension of the Standard Model by right-handed neutrinos and we argue that, under plausible assumptions, a neutrino mass of ${\cal O}(0.1)\,{\rm eV}$ is naturally generated by the breaking of the lepton number at the Planck scale, possibly by gravitational effects, without the necessity of introducing new mass scales in the model. Some implications of this framework are also briefly discussed.

The range of neutralino-proton cross sections for R-parity preserving supergravity models with GUT scale unification of the gauge coupling constants is examined. The models considered here are mSUGRA, models with non universal soft breaking and D-brane models. It is found that the current dark matter detectors are sampling significant parts of the SUSY parameter space and future detectors could sample almost the entire space. The special regions of parameter space that may be inaccessible to future detectors are seen to have a squark/gluino spectra beyond 1 TeV, but observable at the LHC.

We point out that a QCD axion solving the strong CP problem can arise naturally from parity-odd gauge field C_M in 5-dimensional (5D) orbifold field theory. The required axion coupling to the QCD anomaly comes from the 5D Chern-Simons coupling, and all other unwanted U(1)_{PQ} breaking axion couplings can be avoided naturally by the 5D gauge symmetry of C_M and the 5D locality. If the fifth dimension is warped, the resulting axion scale is suppressed by small warp factor compared to the Planck scale, thereby the model can generate naturally an intermediate axion scale f_a=10^{10} - 10^{12}GeV.

There are indications from the study of quasar absorption spectra that the fine structure constant $\alpha$ may have been measurably smaller for redshifts $z>2.$ Analyses of other data ($^{149}$Sm fission rate for the Oklo natural reactor, variation of $^{187}$Re $\beta$-decay rate in meteorite studies, atomic clock measurements) which probe variations of $\alpha$ in the more recent past imply much smaller deviations from its present value. In this work we tie the variation of $\alpha$ to the evolution of the quintessence field proposed by Albrecht and Skordis, and show that agreement with all these data, as well as consistency with WMAP observations, can be achieved for a range of parameters. Some definite predictions follow for upcoming space missions searching for violations of the equivalence principle.

The equations are solved often numerically, and numerous analytic solutions also exist. However, the inclusion of viscous effects in exact, analytic solutions has received less attention. Here we utilize Hubble flow to investigate the role of bulk viscosity, and present different classes of exact, analytic solutions valid also in the presence of dissipative effects.

The initial-state radiation of soft colour dipoles produced in the central region of onium-onium scattering via single QCD Pomeron exchange (BFKL) is calculated in the framework of Mueller's dipole approach. The resulting dipole production has a two-component structure. One is constant with energy while the other grows and possesses a power-law tail at appreciably large transverse distances from the collision axis. It may be related to the growth of the gluon distribution at small Bjorken-$x.$

The idea of Gauge-Yukawa Unification (GYU) based on the principle of reduction of couplings is elucidated. We show how the observed top-bottom mass hierarchy can be explained in terms of supersymmetric GYU by considering an example of the minimal supersymmetric GUT.

The Effective Field Theory (EFT) approach is widely used in the search for possible deviations from the predictions of the Standard Model. Such an approximation of possible BSM physics is valid up to a certain levels of energy scale and accuracy. In this article, we investigate potential limitation of the EFT approach related to unitarity to describe possible contributions of flavor changing neutral currents (FCNC) involving the top quark. The numerical and analytical calculations of the FCNC processes used in the EFT approach demonstrate the constant asymptotic behavior of the total cross section with increasing energy. It is shown that the EFT approach for studying the possible contribution of FCNC does not violate the restrictions following from perturbative unitarity, the asymptotic behavior of the cross section does not exceed the Froissart bound, and the approach itself can be used to set the corresponding experimental limits for FCNC couplings or Wilson coefficients at present and future colliders.

In supersymmetric theories the charged sleptons of different generations may oscillate amongst themselves while they decay. In the case of three generation oscillations, superpartner production at the LHC and NLC may lead to an observable $CP$-violating signal $N(e^+\mu^-) - N(\mu^+e^-)$. This signal is proportional to a $CP$-violating invariant of the slepton mass matrix, $\widetilde{J}$, which is not constrained by searches for the electric dipole moment of the electron. The sensitivity of the LHC and NLC to this signal is highly dependent on superpartner masses, but $\widetilde{J}$ may be probed to a level of $10^{-3}$. Observation of the $CP$-violating signal would imply a definite structure for the slepton mass matrices and have strong implications for models of flavor and SUSY breaking.

We present a detailed phenomenological study of photoproduction of two hadrons, both with high transverse momentum, in longitudinally polarized lepton-nucleon collisions. We consistently include ``direct'' and ``resolved'' photon contributions and examine the sensitivity of the relevant spin asymmetries to the gluon polarization in the nucleon and to the completely unknown parton content of circularly polarized photons. Our results are relevant for the COMPASS and HERMES fixed-target experiments as well as for a possible future polarized lepton-proton collider like eRHIC at BNL. So far, all studies are limited to the lowest order approximation of QCD.

We consider the system of relativistic rotating fermions in the presence of rotation. The rotation is set up as an enhancement of the angular momentum. In this approach the angular velocity for the angular momentum plays the same role as the chemical potential for density. We calculate the axial current using the direct solutions of the Dirac equation with the MIT bag boundary conditions. Next, we consider the alternative way of the rotation description, in which the local velocity of the substance multiplied by the chemical potential serves as the effective gauge field. In this approach this is possible to relate the axial current of the chiral vortical effect for the massless fermions to the topological invariant in momentum space, which is robust to the introduction of interactions. We compare the results for the axial current obtained using the two above mentioned approaches.

We show that the Dual String Model with fusion leads, in heavy ion collisions, to strict saturation of the particle (pseudo-)rapidity density, normalised to the number of participant nucleons, as that number increases. Asymptotically, as the centre-of-mass energy goes to infinity with the number of participants fixed, this density approaches the nucleon-nucleon density. A comparison with recent WA98 data is presented.

In this paper, we study systematically scalar one-loop two-, three-, and four-point Feynman integrals with complex internal masses. Our analytic results presented in this report are valid for both real and complex internal masses. The calculations are then implemented into a {\tt Mathematica} (version $9$) package and {\tt FORTRAN} program. Our program is cross-checked numerically with {\tt LoopTools} (version $2.14$) in real as well as complex internal masses. We find a perfect agreement between our results and {\tt LoopTools} for all cases. Additionally, this work is applied for evaluating scalar one-loop Feynman integrals developed leading Landau singularities which may appear in real scattering processes at colliders. Last but not least, the method used in this report can also extend to evaluate tensor one-loop integrals. Therefore, this may open a new approach which can solve the inverse Gram determinant problem analytically.
