Provid\^encia | Exploring robust correlations between fermionic dark matter model
parameters and neutron star properties: A two-fluid perspective | 15 Pages, 12 figures, 4 tables | null | null | null | hep-ph astro-ph.HE nucl-th | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ | The current observational properties of neutron stars have not definitively
ruled out the possibility of dark matter. In this study, we primarily focus on
exploring correlations between the dark matter model parameters and different
neutron star properties using a rich set of EOSs. We adopt a two-fluid approach
to calculate the properties of neutron stars. For the nuclear matter EOS, we
employ several realistic EOS derived from the relativistic mean field model
(RMF), each exhibiting varying stiffness and composition. In parallel, we look
into the dark matter EOS, considering fermionic matter with repulsive
interaction described by a relativistic mean field Lagrangian. A reasonable
range of parameters is sampled meticulously. Interestingly, our results reveal
a promising correlation between the dark matter model parameters and stellar
properties, particularly when we ignore the uncertainties in the nuclear matter
EOS. However, when introducing uncertainties in the nuclear sector, the
correlation weakens, suggesting that the task of conclusively constraining any
particular dark matter model might be challenging using global properties
alone, such as mass, radius, and tidal deformability. Notably, we find that
dark-matter admixed stars tend to have higher central baryonic density,
potentially allowing for non-nucleonic degrees of freedom or direct Urca
processes in stars with lower masses. There is also a tantalizing hint
regarding the detection of stars with the same mass but different surface
temperatures, which may indicate the presence of dark matter. With our robust
and extensive dataset, we delve deeper and demonstrate that even in the
presence of dark matter, the semi-universal C-Love relation remains intact.

investigated in an effective Lagrangian approach. The $t$-channel Pomeron
exchange diffractive process is considered as the main background for the

cross section, which is calculated by assuming a branching ratio
$Br[P_{c}\rightarrow J/\psi p]\simeq 3\%$, is consistent with the existing
experimental data of the $ \gamma p\rightarrow J/\psi p$ process. With such a
branching ratio, if experimental precision reaches 0.1 nb within a bin of 100
MeV for photon energy, two peaks are expected to be obviously observed in the
$J/\psi $ photoproduction. To observe the two-peak structure from $P_{c}(4440)$
and $ P_{c}(4457)$, higher precision, about 0.1nb/10 MeV, is required to
distinguish two close pentaquarks. If the physical branching ratio is larger,
the requirement of experimental precision will be reduced. The differential
cross sections for reaction $\gamma p\rightarrow J/\psi p$ are also present. It
is found that the $t$-channel Pomeron exchange provides a sharp increase at
extreme forward angles and gives a sizable contribution at most energy points,
while the contributions from the $s$-channel $P_{c}$ exchanges play important
roles at threshold energies. The experimental measurement of the $\gamma

hep-ph/9704451 | Edward Shuryak | E.V. Shuryak (Stony Brook) | The QCD Phase Transition: From the Microscopic Mechanism to Signals Talk
at Renconres de Moriond - 97 | null | null | null | null | hep-ph | null | This talk consists of two very different parts: the first one deals with
non-perturbative QCD and physics of the chiral restoration, the second with
rather low-key (and still unfinished) work aiming at obtaining EOS and other
properties of hot/dense hadronic matter from data on heavy ion collisions. The
microscopic mechanism for chiral restoration phase transition is a transition
from randomly placed tunneling events (instantons) at low T to a set of
strongly correlated tunneling-anti-tunneling events (known as instanton -
anti-instanton molecules) at high T. Many features of the transition can be
explained in this simple picture, especially the critical line and its
dependence on quark masses. This scenario predicts qualitative change of the
basic quark-quark interactions around the phase transition line, with some
states (such as pion-sigma ones) probably surviving even at $T>T_c$. In the

heavy ion collision, its hydro-based description and relation to equation of

] | This talk consists of two very different parts: the first one deals with non-perturbative QCD and physics of the chiral restoration, the second with rather low-key (and still unfinished) work aiming at obtaining EOS and other properties of hot/dense hadronic matter from data on heavy ion collisions. The microscopic mechanism for chiral restoration phase transition is a transition from randomly placed tunneling events (instantons) at low T to a set of strongly correlated tunneling-anti-tunneling events (known as instanton - anti-instanton molecules) at high T. Many features of the transition can be explained in this simple picture, especially the critical line and its dependence on quark masses. This scenario predicts qualitative change of the basic quark-quark interactions around the phase transition line, with some states (such as pion-sigma ones) probably surviving even at $T>T_c$. In the second half of the talk we discuss experimental data on collective flow in heavy ion collision, its hydro-based description and relation to equation of state (EOS). A distinct feature of the QCD phase transition region is high degree of ``softness'', (small ratio pressure/energy density). We present some preliminary results indicated that it is indeed needed to explain the radial flow at SPS energies. |

depending on the value of $\lambda_{H}(m_{t})$ the solution for

method and (b) the tree level mass relations. The limits for
$\lambda_{H}(m_{t})$ correspond to the following Higgs mass relation $150\leq

off on the value of the Higgs mass. We analyze the evolution of the vacuum
expectation value of the Higgs field and show that it depends on the value of

the cases (a) and (b). The behavior of $\lambda_{H}(E)$, $m_{H}(E)$ and $v(E)$

] | Motivated by the new experimental information reported by the BNL--E787 Collaboration, we analyse the present impact and the future prospects opened by the measurement of $\br(K^+\to\pi^+\nu\bar\nu)$. Although still affected by a large error, the BNL--E787 result favours values of $\br(K^+\to \pi^+\nu\bar\nu)$ substantially larger than what expected within the Standard Model. As a result, this data already provide non-trivial constraints on the unitarity triangle, when interpreted within the Standard Model framework. We stress the importance of the clean relation between $\br(K^+\to \pi^+\nu\bar\nu)$, $\sin2\beta$ and $\Delta M_{B_d}/\Delta M_{B_s}$ that in the next few years could provide one of the deepest probes of the Standard Model in the sector of quark-flavour dynamics.

employed to calculate the rho propagator in a hot and dense hadron gas. The
medium modifications are based on hadronic rescattering processes: intermediate
two-pion states are renormalized through interactions with surrounding nucleons
and deltas, and rho meson scattering is considered off nucleons, deltas, pions
and kaons. Constraints from gauge invariance as well as the full off-shell
dynamics of the interactions are accounted for. Within the vector dominance
model we apply the resulting in-medium rho spectral function to compute
$e^+e^-$ production rates from $\pi^+\pi^-$ annihilation. The calculation of
corresponding $e^+e^-$ spectra as recently measured in central collisions of
heavy-ions at CERN/SpS energies gives reasonable agreement with the

carefully chosen baselines for exploring neutrino mass parameters. Locating the
source at CERN, the two detectors and baselines are: (a) a 50 kton iron
calorimeter (ICAL) at a baseline of around 7150 km which is roughly the magic
baseline, e.g., ICAL@INO, and (b) a 50 kton Totally Active Scintillator
Detector at a distance of 730 km, e.g., at Gran Sasso. We choose 8B/8Li source
ions with a boost factor \gamma of 650 for the magic baseline while for the
closer detector we consider 18Ne/6He ions with a range of Lorentz boosts. We
find that the locations of the two detectors complement each other leading to
an exceptional high sensitivity. With \gamma=650 for 8B/8Li and \gamma=575 for
18Ne/6He and total luminosity corresponding to 5\times (1.1 \times 10^{18}) and
5\times (2.9\times 10^{18}) useful ion decays in neutrino and antineutrino
modes respectively, we find that our two detector set-up can probe maximal CP
violation and establish the neutrino mass ordering if \sin^22\theta_{13} is
1.4\times 10^{-4} and 2.7\times 10^{-4}, respectively, or more. The sensitivity
reach for \sin^22\theta_{13} itself is 5.5 \times 10^{-4}. With a factor of 10
higher luminosity, the corresponding \sin^22\theta_{13} reach of this set-up
would be 1.8\times 10^{-5}, 4.6\times 10^{-5} and 5.3\times 10^{-5}
respectively for the above three performance indicators. CP violation can be
discovered for 64% of the possible \delta_{CP} values for \sin^22\theta_{13}
\geq 10^{-3} (\geq 8\times 10^{-5}), for the standard luminosity (10 times
enhanced luminosity). Comparable physics performance can be achieved in a
set-up where data from CERN to INO@ICAL is combined with that from CERN to the

BUHE-01-03" | null | 10.1142/9789812778048_0032 | null | hep-ph | null | We address the question of how to identify the QCD phase transition using
measured light (u,d,s-structured) hadrons, without invoking comparison to the
QCD $\epsilon_c$ predictions, and extract $\epsilon_c$ from the data. We
analyse several particle and nuclear collisions and extract their chemical
freeze-out temperature $T$ at zero baryochemical potential ($\mu_B$). We find
at $\mu_B=0$ a universal rise and saturation of both the $T$ and of the
strangeness suppression factor $\lambda_s$ (=$\frac {2\bar{s}} {\bar{u} +
\bar{d}} $) with increasing initial energy density ($\epsilon_i$). The onset of
saturation of both $T$ and $\lambda_s$, is interpreted as due to the event of
the QCD phase transition. The critical energy density is estimated to be
$\epsilon_c$ $\sim$ 1 +0.3 -0.5 GeV/fm$^3$, corresponding approximately to a
$\sqrt{s}$ of $\sim$ 8.8 GeV for central Pb+Pb collisions. Concerning the role
of strangeness, we identify trivial and non-trivial sources of strangeness
enhancement: The peak of $\lambda_s$ in Pb+Pb collisions at $\sqrt{s}$=8.8 GeV
and other phenomena of 'strangeness enhancement' defined with respect to p+p
data, are trivially traced back to the different baryochemical potentials and
$\epsilon_i$ of the compared systems. A non trivial redefined '$\lambda_s$
enhancement' is however also present. The netbaryonfree $\lambda_s$ limit is
estimated to be approximately reached in Au+Au collisions at the LHC.

proton-proton collisions decreases as final state particle multiplicity
increases. Moreover, the ALICE experiment at CERN has observed that the number
of deuterons produced increases with multiplicity, a behavior that is
qualitatively different from that of the $X(3872)$. These experimental findings
may point to a compact structure for the $X(3872)$ or, at least, that its
hadronization could proceed through a charm-anticharm core. We have recently
used a diffusion Monte Carlo method to solve the many-body Schr\"odinger
equation that describes the $X(3872)$ as a $c \bar c q \bar q$ tetraquark
system with quantum numbers $I^G(J^{PC})=0^+(1^{++})$ and $1^-(1^{++})$.
According to our structural analysis, the quark--(anti-)quark correlations
resemble light-meson--heavy-meson molecules of type $\omega J/\psi$ and $\rho
J/\psi$, rather than the most extended $D\bar D^{\ast}$ interpretation. It was
argued that this fact may be the key to make compatible the molecular features
of the $X(3872)$ with its production observables. The same formalism allows us
to compute the first color excited $c \bar c q \bar q$ tetraquark state with

] | The LHCb collaboration has found that the production rate of $X(3872)$ in proton-proton collisions decreases as final state particle multiplicity increases. Moreover, the ALICE experiment at CERN has observed that the number of deuterons produced increases with multiplicity, a behavior that is qualitatively different from that of the $X(3872)$. These experimental findings may point to a compact structure for the $X(3872)$ or, at least, that its hadronization could proceed through a charm-anticharm core. We have recently used a diffusion Monte Carlo method to solve the many-body Schr\"odinger equation that describes the $X(3872)$ as a $c \bar c q \bar q$ tetraquark system with quantum numbers $I^G(J^{PC})=0^+(1^{++})$ and $1^-(1^{++})$. According to our structural analysis, the quark--(anti-)quark correlations resemble light-meson--heavy-meson molecules of type $\omega J/\psi$ and $\rho J/\psi$, rather than the most extended $D\bar D^{\ast}$ interpretation. It was argued that this fact may be the key to make compatible the molecular features of the $X(3872)$ with its production observables. The same formalism allows us to compute the first color excited $c \bar c q \bar q$ tetraquark state with either $I^G(J^{PC})=0^+(1^{++})$ or $1^-(1^{++})$. A bound-state is found in each channel, their masses are around 4.0 GeV which is an energy region where many new exotic candidates have been collected by the Particle Data Group.

measured in this disappearance experiment, is fully contained inside the
detector. Measuring the counting rate of neutrino-electron elastic scattering
as a function of the distance of the source will give a precise and unambiguous
measurement of the oscillation parameters free of systematic errors. In fact
first estimates show that even with a year's data taking a sensitivity of a few
percent for the measurement of the above angle will be achieved. 2) The low
energy detection threshold offers a unique sensitivity for the neutrino
magnetic moment which is about two orders of magnitude beyond the current
experimental limit. 3) Scattering at such low neutrino energies has never been
studied and any departure from the expected behavior may be an indication of
new physics beyond the standard model. In this work we mainly focus on the

The non-Abelian bosonization and associated charge-flavor-color separation are mainly used in order to clarify basic structures of QCD_2 at finite density. |

an analysis of the covariant properties of the parity operator, which for these
representations transforms as the completely temporal component of a
symmetrical tensor of rank $2j$. The covariant properties of parity involve the
Jordan algebra of anti commutators of the Lorentz group generators which unlike
the Lie algebra is not universal. We make the construction explicit for
$j=1/2,1$ and $3/2$, reproducing well-known results for the $j=1/2$ case. We
provide an algorithm for the corresponding calculations for arbitrary $j$. This
covariant basis provides an inventory of all the possible interaction terms for
gauge and non-gauge theories of fields for these representations. In
particular, it supplies a single second rank antisymmetric structure, which in
the Poincar\'e projector formalism implies a single Pauli term arising from
gauge interactions and a single (free) parameter $g$, the gyromagnetic factor.
This simple structure predicts that for an elementary particle in this
formalism all multipole moments, $Q^{l}_{E}$ and $Q^{l}_{M}$, are dictated by
the complete algebraic structure of the Lorentz generators and the value of
$g$. We explicitly calculate the multipole moments, for arbitrary $j$ up to
$l=8$. Comparing with results in the literature we find that only the electric
charge and magnetic moment of a spin $j$ particle are independent of the
Lorentz representation under which it transforms, all higher multipoles being
representation dependent. Finally we show that the propagation of the
corresponding spin $j$ waves in a electromagnetic background is causal.

In this paper, we will generalize the backreaction force on bubble expansion beyond the simple bag model. |

cosmological baryonic asymmetry? | 7 pages, 2 figures | null | 10.1103/PhysRevD.84.073003 | null | hep-ph | http://arxiv.org/licenses/nonexclusive-distrib/1.0/ | In the scenario of cold electroweak baryogenesis, oscillations of the Higgs
field lead to metastable domains of unbroken phase where the Higgs field nearly
vanishes. Those domains have also been identified with the $W-t-\bar{t}$ bags,
a non-topological soliton made of large number ($\sim 1000$) of gauge quanta
and heavy (top and anti-top) quarks. As real-time numerical studies had shown,
sphalerons (topological transition events violating the baryon number) occur
only inside those bags. In this work we estimate the amount of CP violation in
this scenario coming from the Standard Model, via the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa
(CKM) quark mixing matrix, resulting in top-minus-antitop difference of the
population in the bags. Since these tops/anti-tops are "recycled" by
sphalerons, this population difference leads directly to the baryonic asymmetry
of the Universe. We look at the effect appearing in the 4th order in weak $W$
diagrams describing interference of different quark flavor contributions. We
found that there are multiple cancellations of diagrams and clearly
sign-definite effect appears only in the 6th order expansion over
flavor-dependent phases. We then estimate contributions to these diagrams in
which weak interaction occurs (i) inside, (ii) near and (iii) far from the
$W-t-\bar{t}$ b-bags, optimizing the contributions in each of them. We conclude
that the second ("near") scenario is the dominant one, producing CP violation
of the order of $10^{-10}$, in our crude estimates. Together with the baryon
violation rate of about $10^{-2}$, previously demonstrated for this scenario,
it puts the resulting asymmetry close to what is needed to explain the observed
baryonic asymmetry in the Universe. Our answer also has a definite sign, which
apparently seems to be the correct one.

jet energy loss has two steps. The initial jet parton with a high virtuality
loses energy by a perturbative vacuum parton shower modified by medium
interactions until it becomes on shell. Subsequent energy loss originates from
elastic and radiative collisions with the medium constituents. Coherency of the
radiative collisions is achieved by starting with virtual gluons that act as
field dressing of the initial jet parton. These are formed according to a
Gunion-Bertsch seed. The QCD version of the LPM effect is obtained by
increasing the phase of the virtual gluons through elastic scatterings with the
medium. Above a phase threshold, the virtual gluons will be formed and can
produce coherent radiation themselves. The model has been implemented in a
Monte Carlo code and is validated by successfully reproducing the BDMPS-Z
prediction for the energy spectrum of radiated gluons in a static medium.
Results for the more realistic case, in which the assumptions of the BDMPS-Z
approach are released, are also shown. We investigate the influence of various
parameters on the energy spectrum and the transverse momentum distribution,
such as the in-medium quark masses, the energy transfer in the recoil process,
and the phase accumulation criteria, especially for low and intermediate energy
gluons.

dominates at small $t$ and exhibits the typical diffractive pattern, with the
number of dips in the range $|t| \le 0.3$ GeV$^2$ increasing with the mass

quarkonium states provide important information on their nature. If two of
these states are in the strong coupling regime, we are able to produce a
parameter-free model independent formula, which holds at next-to-leading order
and includes both direct and fragmentation contributions. When the formula is
checked against recent CLEO data it favors Upsilon (2S) and Upsilon (3S) in the
strong coupling regime and disfavors Upsilon (1S) in it.

appear in JHEP | null | 10.1007/JHEP04(2012)025 | null | hep-ph hep-th | http://arxiv.org/licenses/nonexclusive-distrib/1.0/ | We demonstrate that the Balitsky-JIMWLK equations describing the high-energy
evolution of the n-point functions of the Wilson lines (the QCD scattering
amplitudes in the eikonal approximation) admit a controlled mean field
approximation of the Gaussian type, for any value of the number of colors Nc.
This approximation is strictly correct in the weak scattering regime at
relatively large transverse momenta, where it reproduces the BFKL dynamics, and
in the strong scattering regime deeply at saturation, where it properly
describes the evolution of the scattering amplitudes towards the respective
black disk limits. The approximation scheme is fully specified by giving the
2-point function (the S-matrix for a color dipole), which in turn can be
related to the solution to the Balitsky-Kovchegov equation, including at finite
Nc. Any higher n-point function with n greater than or equal to 4 can be
computed in terms of the dipole S-matrix by solving a closed system of
evolution equations (a simplified version of the respective Balitsky-JIMWLK
equations) which are local in the transverse coordinates. For simple
configurations of the projectile in the transverse plane, our new results for
the 4-point and the 6-point functions coincide with the high-energy
extrapolations of the respective results in the McLerran-Venugopalan model. One
cornerstone of our construction is a symmetry property of the JIMWLK evolution,
that we notice here for the first time: the fact that, with increasing energy,
a hadron is expanding its longitudinal support symmetrically around the
light-cone. This corresponds to invariance under time reversal for the
scattering amplitudes.
