We investigate the determination of Higgs boson couplings to gauge bosons and fermions at the LHC from data on Higgs boson production and decay. We demonstrate that very mild theoretical assumptions, which are valid in general multi-Higgs doublet models, are sufficient to allow the extraction of absolute values of the couplings rather than just ratios of the couplings. For Higgs masses below 200 GeV we find accuracies of 10-40% for the Higgs couplings and the total Higgs boson width after several years of LHC running. The sensitivity of the Higgs coupling measurements to deviations from the Standard Model predictions is studied for an MSSM scenario.

We present a study of the flavor changing decays $\phi\to tc$ ($\phi=H_F,\,A_F$) of the $CP$-even and $CP$-odd scalar flavons at the large hadron collider and its next stage, the high-luminosity large hadron collider. The theoretical framework is an extension of the standard model that incorporates an extra complex singlet and invokes the Froggatt-Nielsen mechanism with an Abelian flavor symmetry. The projected exclusion and discovery regions in terms of the model parameters are reported. We find that $A_F$ could be detected at the LHC by considering a reasonable scenario of the model parameter space. As far as $H_F$ is concerned, we also found promising results that could be verified experimentally at the high-luminosity LHC.

We investigate $B^{\pm,0}\rightarrow \rho^0 (\omega )h^{\pm,0}$, where $\rho^0 (\omega)$ decays to $\pi^+\pi^-$ and $h$ is any hadronic final states, such as $\pi$ or $K$. We find large direct $CP$ asymmetries via $\rho-\omega$ interference. A possible determination of the weak phases, such as $\phi_2={\rm arg}((V_{ud}V^*_{ub})/(V_{td}V^*_{tb}))$ and $\phi_3={\rm arg}((V_{us}V^*_{ub})/(V_{ts}V^*_{tb}))$, is also discussed. We show the feasibility to detect the CP asymmetries in these channels by assuming an asymmetric $e^+e^-$ collider experiment. $10^{9}$ $B\bar B$ events are required for the detection of this effect.

We present an interesting Higgs portal model where an axion-like particle (ALP) couples to the Standard Model sector only via the Higgs field. The ALP becomes stable due to CP invariance and turns out to be a natural candidate for freeze-in dark matter because its properties are controlled by the perturbative ALP shift symmetry. The portal coupling can be generated non-perturbatively by a hidden confining gauge sector, or radiatively by new leptons charged under the ALP shift symmetry. Such UV completions generally involve a CP violating phase, which makes the ALP unstable and decay through mixing with the Higgs boson, but can be sufficiently suppressed in a natural way by invoking additional symmetries.

We study the effects of a scalar field, coupled only to neutrinos, on oscillations among weak interaction current eigenstates. The effect of a real scalar field appears as effective masses for the neutrino mass eigenstates, the same for $\nbar$ as for $\n$. Under some conditions, this can lead to a vanishing of $\delta m^2$, giving rise to MSW-like effects. We discuss some examples and show that it is possible to resolve the apparent discrepancy in spectra required by r-process nucleosynthesis in the mantles of supernovae and by Solar neutrino solutions.

An analytical expression for the three-loop form factors for $ggH$ and $\gamma\gamma H$ is derived for the contributions which involve massless quark loops. The result is expressed in terms of harmonic polylogarithms. It fully agrees with previously obtained kinematical expansions, and confirms a recent semi-numerical approximation which extends over the full kinematic range.

The standard procedure to determine (analytically) the values of the quark masses is to relate QCD two-point functions to experimental data in the framework of QCD sum rules. In the case of the light quark sector, the ideal Green function is the pseudoscalar correlator which involves the quark masses as an overall multiplicative factor. For the past thirty years this method has been affected by systematic uncertainties originating in the hadronic resonance sector, thus limiting the accuracy of the results. Recently, a major breakthrough has been made allowing for a considerable reduction of these systematic uncertainties and leading to light quark masses accurate to better than 8%. This procedure will be described in this talk for the up-, down-, strange-quark masses, after a general introduction to the method of QCD sum rules.

Mac Gregor's constituent-quark model is reviewed with currently published data from light meson spectroscopy. It was previously shown that magnetic sources were responsible for the quantization of several mass-splittings in Mac Gregor's model. The existence of a 70-MeV quantum was postulated by Mac Gregor and was shown to fit the Nambu empirical mass formula mn = (n/2)137me, n a positive integer. It is shown in this paper that the light meson spectra also fit into the constituent-quark model and are in agreement with the Russell-Saunders coupling scheme. The existence of magnetic fields is suggested by the successful accounting of these meson spectra.

The electric dipole form factor (EDFF) of the nucleon stemming from the QCD theta term and from the quark color-electric dipole moments is calculated in chiral perturbation theory to sub-leading order. This is the lowest order in which the isoscalar EDFF receives a calculable, non-analytic contribution from the pion cloud. In the case of the theta term, the expected lower bound on the deuteron electric dipole moment is |d_d| > 1.4 10^(-4) \theta e fm. The momentum dependence of the isovector EDFF is proportional to a non-derivative time-reversal-violating pion-nucleon coupling, and the scale for momentum variation ---appearing, in particular, in the radius of the form factor--- is the pion mass.

We extend the Rome-Southampton regularization independent momentum-subtraction renormalization scheme(RI/MOM) for bilinear operators to one with a nonexceptional, symmetric subtraction point. Two-point Green's functions with the insertion of quark bilinear operators are computed with scalar, pseudoscalar, vector, axial-vector and tensor operators at one-loop order in perturbative QCD. We call this new scheme RI/SMOM, where the S stands for "symmetric". Conversion factors are derived, which connect the RI/SMOM scheme and the MSbar scheme and can be used to convert results obtained in lattice calculations into the MSbar scheme. Such a symmetric subtraction point involves nonexceptional momenta implying a lattice calculation with substantially suppressed contamination from infrared effects. Further, we find that the size of the one-loop corrections for these infrared improved kinematics is substantially decreased in the case of the pseudoscalar and scalar operator, suggesting a much better behaved perturbative series. Therefore it should allow us to reduce the error in the determination of the quark mass appreciably.

We map the parameter space of the model where the elastic resonant s-channel scattering of UHE neutrinos with the cosmic neutrino background, mediated by the new Z', can improve the description of the observed cascade and track spectra over the no-scattering hypothesis. Comparing to recent NA64$\mu$ results, we find that some part of the parameter space remains unexplored, but at a data volume of $10^{11}$ muons on target NA64$\mu$ will completely probe this region.

We discuss B-meson signatures of a Supersymmetric U(2) flavor model, with relatively light (electroweak scale masses) third generation right-handed scalars. We impose current B and K meson experimental constraints on such a theory, and obtain expectations for B->X_s gamma, B->X_s glue, B->X_s l+ l-, B->phi K_s, B_s-B_sbar mixing, and the dilepton asymmetry in B_s. We show that such a theory is compatible with all current data, and furthermore, could reconcile the apparent deviations from Standard Model predictions that have been found in some experiments.

Maximally Symmetric $n$-Higgs Doublet Models (MS-$n$HDMs)define very economic settings that enable sharp Higgs-sector predictions beyond the Standard Model (SM) potentially testable at high-energy colliders. The scalar potential of a MS-$n$HDM obeys an $\mathrm{Sp(2}n)$ symmetry, which is softly broken by bilinear scalar masses and explicitly by hypercharge and Yukawa couplings through renormalisation-group effects. The $\mathrm{Sp(2}n)$ also ensures natural SM alignment and allows for quartic coupling unification up to the Planck scale. As typical examples, we consider maximally symmetric realisations of the Type-II 2HDM and the Type-V 3HDM. We show how in terms of a few input parameters, definite predictions for the entire scalar mass spectrum of the MS-2HDM and MS-3HDM are obtained, including the SM-like Higgs-boson couplings to the gauge bosons and fermions.

We discuss the profile of the impact--parameter dependent elastic scattering amplitude. Extraction of impact-parameter dependence from the dataset with inclusion of the experimental data on elastic scattering at the LHC energies helps to reveal the asymptotics of hadron interactions. Analysis of the data clearly indicates that the impact-parameter elastic scattering amplitude exceed the black disk limit at the LHC energy 7TeV and the inelastic overlap function reaches its maximum value at $b>0$

We calculate the alpha_s virtual corrections to the decay width for b --> s gluon in the standard model. Also the corresponding order alpha_s bremsstrahlung corrections are systematically calculated in this paper. The combined result is free of infrared and collinear singularities, in accordance with the KLN theorem. Taking into account the existing next-to-leading logarithmic (NLL) result for the Wilson coefficient C_8^(eff), a complete NLL result for the branching ratio B(b -> s gluon) is derived. Numerically, we obtain B^(NLL)=(5.0 +/- 1.0) * 10^{-3}, which is more than a factor of two larger than the leading logarithmic result B^(LL)=(2.2 +/- 0.8) * 10^{-3}.

The helicity amplitudes of the $N(1520)$ and $N(1535)$ resonances in the $\gamma^*p\to N^*$ electromagnetic transition are studied in the constituent quark model using the impulse approximation, with the proton and resonances assumed to be in three-quark configurations. The comparison of theoretical results and experimental data on the helicity amplitudes $A_{1/2}$, $A_{3/2}$, and $S_{1/2}$ indicates that the $N(1520)$ and $N(1535)$ resonances are primarily composed of three-quark $L=1$ states but may contain additional components. However, it is improbable that contributions from meson clouds will be dominant at low $Q^2$.

We present a class of warped extra dimensional models whose flavor violating interactions are much suppressed compared to the usual anarchic case due to flavor alignment. Such suppression can be achieved in models where part of the global flavor symmetry is gauged in the bulk and broken in a controlled manner. We show that the bulk masses can be aligned with the down type Yukawa couplings by an appropriate choice of bulk flavon field representations and TeV brane dynamics. This alignment could reduce the flavor violating effects to levels which allow for a Kaluza-Klein scale as low as 2-3 TeV, making the model observable at the LHC. However, the up-type Yukawa couplings on the IR brane, which are bounded from below by recent bounds on CP violation in the D system, induce flavor misalignment radiatively. Off-diagonal down-type Yukawa couplings and kinetic mixings for the down quarks are both consequences of this effect. These radiative Yukawa corrections can be reduced by raising the flavon VEV on the IR brane (at the price of some moderate tuning), or by extending the Higgs sector. The flavor changing effects from the radiatively induced Yukawa mixing terms are at around the current upper experimental bounds. We also show the generic bounds on UV-brane induced flavor violating effects, and comment on possible additional flavor violations from bulk flavor gauge bosons and the bulk Yukawa scalars.

Parton distribution functions (PDFs) are nonperturbative quantities describing the relation between a hadron and quarks and gluons within it. We propose to extract PDFs from QCD global analysis of "data" generated by lattice QCD calculations of good "lattice cross sections", which are basically single-hadron matrix elements that are lattice QCD calculable and perturbative QCD factorizable into the PDFs. To demonstrate the existence of good "lattice cross sections", we take quasi-quark distribution introduced by Ji [1] as a case study to show that it could be factorized into the PDFs to all orders in perturbation theory if it can be multiplicatively renormalized. We calculate the factorized coefficients at the next-to-leading order in $\alpha_s$.

Electroweak baryogenesis can be driven by the top quark in a general two Higgs doublet model with extra Yukawa couplings. Higgs quartics provide the first order phase transition, while extra top Yukawa coupling $\rho_{tt}$ can fuel the cosmic baryon asymmetry through the $\lambda_t\,{\rm Im}\,\rho_{tt}$ product, with flavor-changing $\rho_{tc}$ coupling as backup. The impressive ACME 2018 bound on the electron electric dipole moment calls for an extra electron coupling $\rho_{ee}$ for exquisite cancellation among dangerous diagrams, broadening the baryogenesis solution space. The mechanism suggests that extra Yukawa couplings echo the hierarchical structure of standard Yukawa couplings. Phenomenological consequences in Higgs search and flavor physics are discussed, with $\mu$ and $\tau$ EDM touched upon.

We study the scattering of hard external particles in a heat bath in a real-time formalism for finite temperature QED. We investigate the distribution of the 4-momentum difference of initial and final hard particles in a fully covariant manner when the scale of the process, $Q$, is much larger than the temperature, $T$. Our computations are valid for all $T$ subject to this constraint. We exponentiate the leading infra-red term at one-loop order through a resummation of soft (thermal) photon emissions and absorptions. For $T>0$, we find that tensor structures arise which are not present at $T=0$. These carry thermal signatures. As a result, external particles can serve as thermometers introduced into the heat bath. We investigate the phase space origin of $\log(Q/m)$ and $\log(Q/T)$ terms.

The structure of tensor couplings in Higgs di-boson decays is investigated by measuring the asymmetries and by studing the shapes of the final state angular distributions. The expected background contributions, detector resolution, and trigger and selection efficiencies are taken into account. The potential of the LHC experiments to discover sizeable non-Standard Model contributions to the HZZ vertex with $300\;{\rm fb}^{-1}$ and $3000\;{\rm fb}^{-1}$ is demonstrated.

It includes the contribution of the pseudoscalar mesons to the muon anomalous magnetic moment (AMM), $g-2$, the rare decays of light pseudoscalar mesons to lepton pair, the transition form factors of pseudoscalar mesons at large momentum transfer, the pion transversity form factor. Measuring the muon anomalous magnetic moment $g-2$ and the rare decays of light pseudoscalar mesons into lepton pair $P\rightarrow l^{+}l^{-} $ serve as important test of the standard model. To reduce the theoretical uncertainty in the standard model predictions the data on the transition form factors of light pseudoscalar mesons play significant role. Recently new data on behavior of these form factors at large momentum transfer was supplied by the BABAR collaboration. Within the nonlocal chiral quark model it shown how to describe these data and how the meson distribution amplitude evolves as a function of the dynamical quark masses and meson masses.

We investigate the complete renormalization group running of fermion observables in two different realistic non-supersymmetric models based on the gauge group $\textrm{SO}(10)$ with intermediate symmetry breaking for both normal and inverted neutrino mass orderings. Contrary to results of previous works, we find that the model with the more minimal Yukawa sector of the Lagrangian fails to reproduce the measured values of observables at the electroweak scale, whereas the model with the more extended Yukawa sector can do so if the neutrino masses have normal ordering. The difficulty in finding acceptable fits to measured data is a result of the added complexity from the effect of an intermediate symmetry breaking as well as tension in the value of the leptonic mixing angle $\theta^\ell_{23}$.

Universal Extra Dimensions (UEDs) with compactification radius near the TeV scale provide interesting phenomenology at future colliders. The collider signals of the first Kaluza-Klein (KK) level are very similar to those of a supersymmetric model with a nearly degenerate superpartner spectrum. The heavier first level KK states cascade decay to the lightest KK particles (LKP), which is neutral and stable because of KK-parity. The signatures involve missing energy and relatively soft jets and leptons which can be difficult for detection. The KK electron signal in $e^- e^-$ collisions is free from the problematic two photon background therefore provides a unique opportunity for a detailed studies of the KK electrons in the Universal Extra Dimension scenario.

We study Two-Higgs-Doublet Models (2HDM) where Abelian symmetries have been introduced, leading to a drastic reduction in the number of free parameters in the 2HDM. Our analysis is inspired in BGL models, where, as the result of a symmetry of the Lagrangian, there are tree-level scalar mediated Flavour-Changing-Neutral-Currents, with the flavour structure depending only on the CKM matrix. A systematic analysis is done on the various possible schemes, which are classified in different classes, depending on the way the extra symmetries constrain the matrices of couplings defining the flavour structure of the scalar mediated neutral currents. All the resulting flavour textures of the Yukawa couplings are stable under renormalisation since they result from symmetries imposed at the Lagrangian level. We also present a brief phenomenological analysis of the most salient features of each class of symmetry constrained 2HDM.

Modifications of the mass spectrum the quarkonium induced by its virtual dissociation into a pair of heavy mesons is considered. Coupling between quark and mesonic channels results in noticeable corrections to spin-dependent mass splitting. In particular, the observable hierarchy of mass splittings in the $\chi_c, \chi_b$ and $\chi'_b$ multiplets is reproduced.

The QCD sum rule technique is employed to investigate pentaquark states with strangeness S = +1 and IJ^P = 0,1/2^\pm, 1,1/2^\pm, 0,3/2^\pm, 1,3/2^\pm. Throughout the calculation, emphasis is laid on the establishment of a valid Borel window, which corresponds to a region of the Borel mass, where the operator product expansion converges and the presumed ground state pole dominates the sum rules. Such a Borel window is achieved by constructing the sum rules from the difference of two independent correlators and by calculating the operator product expansion up to dimension 14. Furthermore, we discuss the possibility of the contamination of the sum rules by possible KN scattering states. As a result, we conclude that the 0,3/2^+ state seems to be the most probable candidate for the experimentally observed \Theta^+(1540), while we also obtain states with 0,1/2^-, 1,1/2^-, 1,3/2^+ at somewhat higher mass regions.

Screening effects from sea pairs on the quark-antiquark static potential are analyzed phenomenologically from the light-quark to the heavy-quark meson spectra. From the high excited light-quark meson spectrum a universal form for the screened static potential is proposed. This potential is then succesfully applied to heavy quarkonia. Our results suggest the assignment of X(4260) to the 4s state of charmonium and the possible existence of a 5s bottomonium resonance around 10748 MeV.

We suggest a new mechanism for electroweak symmetry breaking in the supersymmetric Standard Model. Our suggestion is based on the presence of an anomalous U(1)_A gauge symmetry, which naturally arises in the four dimensional superstring theory, and heavily relies on the value of the corresponding Fayet-Illiopoulos \xi-term.

I consider the uncertainties in parton distributions and the consequences for hadronic cross-sections. There is ever-increasing sophistication in the relationship between the uncertainties of the distributions and the errors on the experimental data used to extract them. However, I demonstrate that this uncertainty is frequently subsumed by that due to the choice of data used in fits, and more surprisingly by the precise details of the theoretical framework used. Variations in heavy flavour prescriptions provide striking examples.

We formulate the chiral perturbation theory at the one loop level in the effective lagrangian including the $\rho$ meson as a dynamical gauge boson of a hidden local symmetry(HLS). The size of radiative correction to the phenomenological parameter $a$ of HLS is estimated to be about $10$\%. The complete list of ${\cal O}(E^4)$ terms is given and the one loop counter terms are determined explicitly in the $N$ flavor model. We also obtain matching conditions to the conventional chiral perturbation of Gasser and Leutwyler in the chiral limit in a renormalization scale independent manner. We find that Gasser--Leutwyler's estimates for $L_{9,10}$ are saturated by $\rho$ and its one loop contributions without introducing non-minimal couplings of $\pi$-$\rho$ system, suggesting the absence of the tree level $a_1$ meson contributions.

We evaluate the elastic scattering cross section of vector dark matter with nucleon based on the method of effective field theory. The dark matter is assumed to behave as a vector particle under the Lorentz transformation and to interact with colored particles including quarks in the Standard Model. After formulating general formulae for the scattering cross sections, we apply them to the case of the first Kaluza-Klein photon dark matter in the minimal universal extra dimension model. The resultant cross sections are found to be larger than those calculated in previous literature.

We construct a weakly coupled, renormalizable ultraviolet completion of the Littlest Higgs model with T-parity (LHT), based on an SU(5)xSU(2)xU(1) gauge theory with a discrete Z_2 symmetry. Our model reproduces the complete structure of the LHT below the 10 TeV scale, including the collective symmetry breaking mechanism which solves the little hierarchy problem. The model is manifestly free of anomalies, including both gauge/gravitational anomalies and anomalies involving T-parity. At the TeV scale, the model contains additional states not present in the LHT. We estimate the impact of these states on precision electroweak observables, and show that the model is realistic. We also discuss how our model can be embedded into a supersymmetric theory or a five-dimensional setup with a warped extra dimension, stabilyzing the hierarchy between the 10 TeV and the Planck scale.

The large forward-backward asymmetry of the top quark pair production measured by the hadron colliders shed light on new physics signals beyond the Standard Model. In the Randall-Sundrum model with an additional SU(3) group in the strong sector, we compare the total cross section and forward-backward asymmetry of the top quark pair production with the newest data obtained by the CDF and the D0 collaborations. Our numerical analysis shows that the parameter $c_q \gtrsim 0.5$, $c_t \sim -0.6\sim-0.8$, $\tan\phi \gtrsim 20$ or $\tan\phi \leq 1/20$ and the first excitation of axial gluon with a mass about $5 \thicksim 6 \mathrm{TeV}$ can accommodate this large anomaly without violating other experimental constraints.

CP violation from physics beyond the Standard Model (SM) is investigated in the Cabbibo-suppressed decay $\tau\to K\pi\nu_{\tau}$ with polarized $\tau$ leptons, to which both the ${\rm J}^{P}=1^-$ resonance $K^*$ and the $ J^{P}=0^+$ resonance $K^*_0$ contribute. In addition to the CP-odd rate asymmetry, $\tau$ polarization enables us to construct three additional CP-odd polarization asymmetries that can be enhanced due to the interference between the $K^*$ and $K^*_0$, and whose magnitudes depend crucially on the $K^*_0$ decay constant, $f_{K^*_0}$. Taking a QCD sum rule estimate of $f_{K^*_0}=45$ MeV and the present experimental constraints on the CP-odd parameters into account, we estimate quantitatively the maximally-allowed values for the CP-odd rate and polarization asymmetries in the multi-Higgs-doublet (MHD) model and the scalar-leptoquark (SLQ) models consistent with the SM gauge symmetry where neutrinos are massless and left-handed as in the SM. We find that the CP-odd rate and polarization asymmetries are of a similar size for highly-polarized $\tau$ leptons and, for their maximally-allowed values, CP violation in the MHD model and two SLQ models may be detected with about $10^6$ and $10^7$ $\tau$'s at the $1\sigma$ level.

The supersymmetric model of hybrid inflation is interesting not only because of its naturalness but also because of another reason. Its energy scale determined by the COBE normalization is 10^15 - 10^16 GeV. It happens to be the energy scale of interest in particle physics, namely, the mass scale of right-handed neutrinos or the energy scale of the gauge-coupling unification. It is true that topological defects are produced after the hybrid inflation if it is related to a U(1)_B-L or a GUT-symmetry breaking, and hence one cannot naively identify models of particle physics with that of inflation. But those defects are not necessarily found in modified models. We show in this article that quite a simple extension of the minimal supersymmetric hybrid inflation model is free from monopoles or cosmic strings. Moreover, it happens to be exactly the same as a well-motivated extension of SU(5)-unified theories. The vacuum energy is dominated by F-term. The \eta-problem is not necessarily serious when the model is realized by D-branes. Although it has been considered that a coupling constant has to be very small when the vacuum energy is dominated by F-term, this constraint is not applied either to the D-brane model. They are due to a particular form of the Kahler potential and interaction of the model. Reheating process is also discussed.

We study the decay modes $\bar{B}_s\to \phi \pi^0$ and $\bar{B}_s\to \phi \rho^0$ using Soft Collinear Effective Theory. Within Standard Model and including the error due to the SU(3) breaking effect in the SCET parameters we find that BR $\bar{B}_s\to \phi \pi^0 =7_{-1-2}^{+1+2}\times 10^{-8} $ and BR $\bar{B}_s\to \phi \pi^0=9_{-1-4}^{+1+3}\times 10^{-8}$ corresponding to solution 1 and solution 2 of the SCET parameters respectively.For the decay mode $\bar{B}_s\to \phi \rho^0$, we find that BR $\bar{B}_s\to \phi \rho^0 = 20.2^{+1+9}_{-1-12}\times 10^{-8} $ and BR $ \bar{B}_s\to \phi \rho^0 = 34.0^{+1.5 + 15}_{-1.5-22}\times 10^{-8} $ corresponding to solution 1 and solution 2 of the SCET parameters respectively. We extend our study to include supersymmetric models with non-universal A-terms where the dominant contributions arise from diagrams mediated by gluino and chargino exchanges. We show that gluino contributions can not lead to an enhancement of the branching ratios of $\bar{B}_s\to \phi \pi^0$ and $\bar{B}_s\to \phi \rho^0$. In addition, we show that SUSY contributions mediated by chargino exchange can enhance the branching ratio of $\bar{B}_s\to \phi \pi^0$ by about 14% with respect to the SM prediction. For the branching ratio of $\bar{B}_s\to \phi \rho^0$, we find that SUSY contributions can enhance its value by about 1% with respect to the SM prediction.

The oscillations of pseudo-Dirac neutrinos in matter are discussed and applied to the solar neutrino problem. Several scenarios such as both $\nu_e$ and $\nu_{\mu}$ being pseudo-Dirac and only $\nu_e$ or $\nu_{\mu}$ being pseudo-Dirac are examined. It is shown that the allowed region in the mass-mixing angle parameter space obtained by comparing the solar neutrino data with the calculations based on the standard solar model and the MSW effect is not unique. The results depend on the nature of neutrinos; for example, if both $\nu_e$ and $\nu_{\mu}$ are pseudo-Dirac, the allowed region determined by the current solar neutrino data does not overlap with that obtained in the usual case of pure Dirac or Majorana neutrinos.

Purported signatures of collective dynamics in small systems like proton-proton (pp) or proton-nucleus (p-A) collisions still lack unambiguous understanding. Despite the qualitative and/or quantitative agreement of the data to hydrodynamic models, it has remained unclear whether the harmonic flows in small systems relate to the common physical picture of hydrodynamic collectivity driven by the initial geometry. In the present work, we aim to address this issue by invoking a novel concept of Event Shape Engineering (ESE), which has been leveraged to get some control of the initial geometry in high-energy heavy-ion collisions. We utilise ESE by constructing a reference flow vector, $q_{2}$ that allows to characterise an event based on it's ellipticity. Applying this technique on a data set, simulated from a 3+1D viscous hydrodynamic model EPOS3, we study the event-shape dependent modifications to some of the bulk properties like, inclusive transverse momentum ($p_{T}$) spectra and $p_{T}$-differential $v_{2}$ for p-Pb collisions at 5.02 TeV. Selecting events on the basis of different magnitudes of reference flow vector $q_{2}$, we observe a hint of event-shape induced modifications of $v_{2}$ as a function of $p_{T}$ but, the inclusive $p_{T}$-spectra of charged particles seem to be insensitive to this event-shape selection.

Light bosons can be found in large classes of theories beyond the Standard Model. These light bosons may not be ruled out by current experiments and, indeed, may even provide an explanation for some anomalous experimental results. The radiative decays of quarkonium ($c \bar c, b \bar b$) states offer a promising opportunity to investigate such light bosons. Specifically, we investigate the reach that current CLEO data can have on models with light scalar and pseudoscalar bosons.

The zenith angle distributions of atmospheric neutrinos are determined by the possible presence of neutrino oscillations and the combination of three most important contributions: (1) geomagnetic effects on the primary cosmic rays, that suppress the primary flux in the Earth's magnetic equatorial region, (2) the zenith angle dependence of the neutrino yields, due to the fact that inclined showers produce more neutrinos, and (3) geometrical effects due to the spherical shell geometry of the neutrino production volume. The last effect has been recognized only recently and results in an important enhancement of the flux of sub--GeV neutrinos for horizontal directions. In this work we discuss the geometrical effect and its relevance in the interpretation of the atmospheric neutrino data.

We investigate the analytic properties of finite-temperature self-energies of bosons interacting with fermions at one-loop order. A simple boson-fermion model was chosen due to its interesting features of having two distinct couplings of bosons with fermions. This leads to a quite different analytic behavior of the bosons self-energies as the external momentum $K^{\mu}=(k^{0},\vec{k})$ approaches zero in the two possible limits. It is shown that the plasmon and Debye masses are consistently obtained at the pole of the corrected propagator even when the self-energy is analytic at the origin in the frequency-momentum space.

If dark matter self-annihilates into neutrinos or a second component of ("boosted") dark matter that is nucleophilic, the annihilation products may be detected with high rates via coherent nuclear scattering. A future multi-ten-tonne liquid xenon detector such as DARWIN, and a multi-hundred-tonne liquid argon detector, ARGO, would be sensitive to the flux of these particles in complementary ranges of $10-1000$ MeV dark matter masses. We derive these sensitivities after accounting for atmospheric and diffuse supernova neutrino backgrounds, and realistic nuclear recoil acceptances. We find that their constraints on the dark neutrino flux may surpass neutrino detectors such as Super-Kamiokande, and that they would extensively probe parametric regions that explain the missing satellites problem in neutrino portal models. The XENON1T and Borexino experiments currently restrict the effective baryonic coupling of thermal boosted dark matter to $\lesssim 10-100 \ \times$ the weak interaction, but DARWIN and ARGO would probe down to couplings 10 times smaller. Detection of boosted dark matter with baryonic couplings $\sim 10^{-3}-10^{-2} \ \times$ the weak coupling could indicate that the dark matter density profile in the centers of galactic halos become cored, rather than cuspy, through annihilations. This work demonstrates that, alongside liquid xenon, liquid argon direct detection technology would emerge a major player in dark matter searches within and beyond the WIMP paradigm.

I discuss the analytic structure of thermodynamic quantities for complex values of thermodynamic variables within Landau theory. In particular, the singularities connected with phase transitions of second order, first order and cross over types are examined. A conformal mapping is introduced, which may be used to explore the thermodynamics of strongly interacting matter at finite values of the baryon chemical potential $\mu$ starting from lattice QCD results at $\mu^{2}\leq 0$. This method allows us to improve the convergence of a Taylor expansion about $\mu=0$ and to enhance the sensitivity to physical singularities in the complex $\mu$ plane. The technique is illustrated by an application to a second-order transition in a chiral effective model.

We present a mechanism for disguising one composite Higgs model as another. Allowing the global symmetry of the strong sector to be broken by large mixings with elementary fields, we show that we can disguise one coset $\mathcal G/\mathcal H$ such that at low energies the phenomenology of the model is better described with a different coset $\mathcal G'/\mathcal H'$. Extra scalar fields acquire masses comparable to the rest of the strong sector resonances and therefore are no longer considered pNGBs. Following this procedure we demonstrate that two models with promising UV-completions can be disguised as the more minimal $SO(5)/SO(4)$ coset.

These parameters, expected to be unity in the Standard Model, may deviate if new physics is involved. Our model-independent approach involves deriving the specific form of the angular distribution under the most general form of the decay matrix element $D_{(s)}/B_{(s)}\to V$.

Using an almost complete relativistic method based on the Bethe-Salpeter equation, we study the mixing angle $\theta$, the mass splitting $\bigtriangleup M$, the strong decay widths $\Gamma(D^{({\prime})}_1)$ and the weak production rates $Br(B\to D^{({\prime})}_1\ell\nu_{\ell})$ of the $D_1(2420)$ and $D_1^{\prime}(2430)$. We find there is the strong cancellation between the $^1P_1$ and $^3P_1$ partial waves in $D_1^{\prime}(2430)$ with $\theta \sim-35.3^{\circ}$, which leads to the `$1/2$ vs $3/2$' puzzle. The puzzle can not be overcome by adding only relativistic corrections since in a large parameter range where $\bigtriangleup M$ is linear varying and not small, the $\theta$, $\Gamma(D^{({\prime})}_1)$ and $Br(B\to D^{({\prime})}_1\ell\nu_{\ell})$ remain almost unchanged but conflict with data. While in a special range around the mass inverse point where $\bigtriangleup M=0$ and $\theta =\pm 90^{\circ}$, they change rapidly but we find the windows where $\bigtriangleup M$, $\Gamma(D^{({\prime})}_1)$ and $Br(B\to D^{({\prime})}_1\ell\nu_{\ell})$ are all consistent with data.

Hepp, Hev.Phys.Acta, {\bf 45}, 237 (1972)), the quantum decoherence in neutrino flavor oscillation caused by an environment surrounding neutrinos is generally considered in this paper. The Ellis, Hagelin, Nanopoulos and Srednicki (EHNS) mechanism for solving the solar neutrino problem can be comprehended in a framework of the ordinary quantum mechanics. In the weak- coupling limit, a microscopic model is proposed to describe the transition of two neutrino system from a pure state to a mixed state. It gives the modified formula of survival probability of neutrino oscillation with two additional time-dependent parameters. For specified environments, this result shows that the oscillating phenomena of neutrino still exist even without a mass difference in free neutrino.

We obtain the rotational spectrum of strange multibaryon states by performing the SU(3) collective coordinate quantization of the static multi-Skyrmions. These background configurations are given in terms of rational maps, which are very good approximations and share the same symmetries as the exact solutions. Thus, the allowed quantum numbers in the spectra and the structure of the collective Hamiltonians we obtain are also valid in the exact case. We find that the predicted spectra are in overall agreement with those corresponding to the alternative bound state soliton model.

On the basis of the perturbative QCD and the relativistic quark model we investigate the relativistic and bound state effects in the production processes of a pair of $S$-wave doubly heavy mesons with opposite charge conjugation consisting of $b$ and $c$ quarks. All possible relativistic corrections in the production amplitude including the terms connected with the transformation law of the bound state wave function to the reference frame of the moving pseudoscalar ${\cal P}-$ and vector ${\cal V}-$ mesons are taken into account. We obtain a growth of the cross section for the reaction $e^++e^-\to J/\Psi+ \eta_c$ due to considered effects by a factor $2\div 2.5$ in the range of the center-of-mass energy $\sqrt{s}=6\div 12$ GeV.

We find the solution to the Dirac equation for a massive neutrino with a magnetic moment propagating in background matter and interacting with the twisting magnetic field. In frames of the relativistic quantum mechanics approach to the description of neutrino evolution we use the obtained solution to derive neutrino wave functions satisfying the given initial condition. We apply the results to the analysis of neutrino spin oscillations in matter under the influence of the twisting magnetic field. Then on the basis of the yielded results we describe spin-flavor oscillations of Dirac neutrinos that mix and have non-vanishing matrix of magnetic moments. We again formulate the initial condition problem, derive neutrinos wave functions and calculate the transition probabilities for different magnetic moments matrices. The consistency of the obtained results with the quantum mechanical treatment of spin-flavor oscillations is discussed. We also consider several applications to astrophysical and cosmological neutrinos.

Event generators based on the GRACE package for the non-radiative and radiative case are presented. Special interest is brought to the effect of the non-resonant diagrams overlooked so far in other studies. Their contribution to the total cross section is presented for the LEP II energy range and for future linear colliders ($\sqrt s$ =500 GeV). Effects, at the W pair threshold, of order 3\% ($e^- \bar\nu_e u \bar{d}$) and 27\% ($\bar{u} d u \bar{d}$) are reported. Similar behaviour for the radiative case is shown.

We study soft SUSY breaking parameters in the Nelson-Strassler type of models: SUSY standard models coupled with SCFTs. In this type of models, soft SUSY breaking parameters including sfermion masses can be suppressed around the decoupling scale of SCFTs. We clarify the condition to derive exponential suppression of sfermion masses within the framework of pure SCFTs. Such behavior is favorable for degeneracy of sfermion masses. However, the realistic sfermion masses are not quite degenerate due to the gauge couplings and the gaugino masses in the SM sector. We show the sfermion mass spectrum obtained in such models. The aspect of suppression for the soft SUSY breaking parameters is also demonstrated in an explicit model. We also give a mechanism generating the $\mu$-term of the Electro-Weak scale by a singlet field coupled with the SCFT.

Top squark (stop) is a crucial part of supersymmetric models (SUSY) to understand the naturalness problem. Other than the traditional stop pair production, the single production via electroweak interaction provides signals with distinctive features which could help confirm the existence of the top squark. In this paper, we investigate the observability of stop through the mono-top channel of the single stop production at the future proton-proton colliders, FCC-hh and SPPC, in a simplified Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM). With the integrated luminosity of 3000 $\text{fb}^{-1}$, we can probe the stop with mass up to 3.25 TeV by the mono-top channel at $5\sigma$ level. Considering the systematic uncertainty of 10%, the exclusion limit for stop mass can be reached at about 1.5 TeV. Exclusion limits on stop mass and higgsino mass parameter $\mu$ are also presented.

We investigate the Glauber-gluon effect on the $B \to \pi \pi$ and $\rho \rho$ decays, which is introduced via a convolution of a universal Glauber phase factor with transverse-momentum-dependent(TMD) meson wave functions in the $k_T$ factorization theorem. For an appropriate parametrization of the Glauber phase, it is observed that a TMD wave function for the pion ($\rho$ meson) with a weak (strong) falloff in parton transverse momentum $k_T$ leads to significant (moderate) modification of the $B^0 \to \pi^0 \pi^0$ ($B^0 \to \rho^0 \rho^0$) branching ratio: the former (latter) is enhanced (reduced) by about a factor of 2 (15\%). This observation is consistent with the dual role of the pion as a massless Nambu-Goldstone boson and as a $q \bar q$ bound state, which requires a tighter spatial distribution of its leading Fock state relative to higher Fock states. The agreement between the theoretical predictions and the data for all the $B \to \pi \pi$ and $\rho^0 \rho^0$ branching ratios is then improved simultaneously, and it is possible to resolve the $B \to \pi \pi$ puzzle.

We show that it is possible to describe simultaneously the differential cross-section and total cross-section of DVCS data with a single holographic model for the pomeron.

We exemplify earlier general considerations on flavor symmetry breaking employing a hidden sector and exploiting supersymmetry in a specific model. The model is at best a caricature of reality, but it is sufficient to display mechanisms for the natural emergence of minimal low-energy Higgs structure, non-trivial texture zeros and symmetry, and coupling to the standard model only through Higgs fields, which could be considerably more general.

We reconsider the problem of the birefringence of electromagnetic (EM) waves in a medium consisting of a plasma and a $\nu\bar{\nu}$-gas within the Standard Model of particle physics. The considered effect arises in such a medium due to the parity violation for the electroweak neutrino-electron interaction. Our recent calculations of the electroweak correction to the photon polarization operator in the electroweak plasma allow us to significantly improve some previous estimates of such effect in astrophysics. We estimate the rotary power for EM waves propagating in a non-relativistic plasma in the intergalactic space and interacting with the gas of relic neutrinos and antineutrinos there. We show that, in presence of a plasma, the EM wave birefringence effect in a $\nu\bar{\nu}$-gas exceeds significantly that effect in a $\nu\bar{\nu}$-gas in empty space considered earlier. These previous treatments of the birefringence relied on the calculations of the refraction index for on-shell photons in vacuum using the forward scattering amplitude $\gamma\nu\to \gamma\nu$ with virtual charged leptons in Feynman diagrams. The possibility to observe experimentally the new effect suggested here is discussed.

We place several new limits on Lorentz violating effects, which can modify particles' dispersion relations, by considering the highest energy cosmic rays observed. Since these are hadrons, this involves considering the partonic content of such cosmic rays. We get a number of bounds on differences in maximum propagation speeds, which are typically bounded at the 10^{-21} level, and on momentum dependent dispersion corrections of the form v = 1 +- p^2/Lambda^2, which typically bound Lambda > 10^{21} GeV, well above the Planck scale. For (CPT violating) dispersion correction of the form v = 1 + p/Lambda, the bounds are up to 15 orders of magnitude beyond the Planck scale.

We study a model of a keV-scale sterile neutrino with a relatively large mixing with the Standard Model sector. Usual considerations predict active generation of such particles in the early Universe, which leads to constraints from the total Dark Matter density and absence of X-ray signal from sterile neutrino decay. These bounds together may deem any attempt of creation of the keV scale sterile neutrino in the laboratory unfeasible. We argue that for models with a hidden sector coupled to the sterile neutrino these bounds can be evaded, opening new perspectives for the direct studies at neutrino experiments such as Troitsk $\nu$-mass and KATRIN. We estimate the generation of sterile neutrinos in scenarios with the hidden sector dynamics keeping the sterile neutrinos either massless or superheavy in the early Universe. In both cases the generation by oscillations from active neutrinos in plasma is suppressed.

In this paper, we analyze the scalar mesons $f_0(980)$ and $f_0(1500)$ from the decays $\bar B^0_s \to f_0(980)\pi^0, f_0(1500)\pi^0$ within Perturbative QCD approach. From the leading order calculations, we find that (a) in the allowed mixing angle ranges, the branching ratio of $\bar B^0_s\to f_0(980)\pi^0$ is about $(1.0\sim1.6)\times 10^{-7}$, which is smaller than that of $\bar B^0_s\to f_0(980)K^0$ (the difference is a few times even one order); (b) the decay $\bar B^0_s \to f_0(1500)\pi^0$ is better to distinguish between the lowest lying state or the first excited state for $f_0(1500)$, because the branching ratios for two scenarios have about one-order difference in most of the mixing angle ranges; and (c) the direct CP asymmetries of $\bar B^0_s \to f_0(1500)\pi^0$ for two scenarios also exists great difference. In scenario II, the variation range of the value ${\cal A} ^{dir}_{CP}(\bar B^0_s \to f_0(1500)\pi^0)$ according to the mixing angle is very small, except for the values corresponding to the mixing angles being near $90^\circ$ or $270^\circ$, while the variation range of ${\cal A} ^{dir}_{CP}(\bar B^0_s \to f_0(1500)\pi^0)$ in scenario I is very large. Compared with the future data for the decay $\bar B^0_s \to f_0(1500)\pi^0$, it is ease to determine the nature of the scalar meson $f_0(1500)$.

The holographic methods inspired by the gauge/gravity correspondence from string theory have been actively applied to the hadron spectroscopy in the last eleven years. Within the phenomenological bottom-up approach, the linear Regge-like trajectories for light mesons are naturally reproduced in the so-called "Soft-wall" holographic models. I will give a very short review of the underlying ideas and technical aspects related to the meson spectroscopy. A generalization of soft-wall description of Regge trajectories to arbitrary intercept is proposed. The problem of incorporation of the chiral symmetry breaking is discussed.

The existence of doubly charged Higgs bosons (H^{\pm\pm}) is a distinctive feature of the Higgs Triplet Model (HTM), in which neutrinos obtain tree-level masses from the vacuum expectation value of a neutral scalar in a triplet representation of SU(2)_L. We point out that a large branching ratio for the decay of a singly charged Higgs boson to a doubly charged Higgs boson via H^\pm\to H^{\pm\pm}W^* is possible in a sizeable parameter space of the HTM. From the production mechanism q'qbar\to W^* \to H^{\pm\pm}H^\mp the above decay mode would give rise to pair production of H^{\pm\pm}, with a cross section which can be comparable to that of the standard pair-production mechanism qqbar\to \gamma^*,Z^* \to H^{++}H^{--}. We suggest that the presence of a sizeable branching ratio for H^\pm\to H^{\pm\pm}W^* could significantly enhance the detection prospects of H^{\pm\pm} in the four-lepton channel. Moreover, the decays H^0\to H^\pm W^* and A^0\to H^\pm W^* from production of the neutral triplet scalars H^0 and A^0 would also provide an additional source of H^\pm, which can subsequently decay to H^{\pm\pm}.

In many extensions of the Standard Model flavour changing neutral current processes can be mediated by tree-level heavy neutral scalars and/or pseudo-scalars H^0(A^0). This generally introduces new sources of flavour violation and CP violation as well as left-handed and right-handed scalar currents. These new physics contributions imply a pattern of deviations from SM expectations for FCNC processes that depends only on the couplings of H^0(A^0) to fermions and on their masses. In situations in which a single H^0 or A^0 dominates NP contributions stringent correlations between Delta F=2 and Delta F=1 observables exist. Anticipating the Flavour Precision Era ahead of us we illustrate this by searching for allowed oases in the landscape of a given model assuming significantly smaller uncertainties in CKM and hadronic parameters than presently available. To this end we analyze Delta F=2 observables in B^0_{s,d}-bar B^0_{s,d} and K^0-bar K^0 systems and rare B and K decays with charged leptons in the final state including both left-handed and right-handed scalar couplings of H^0 and A^0 to quarks in various combinations. We identify a number of correlations between various flavour observables that could test and distinguish these different scenarios. The prominent role of the decays B_{s,d}-> mu^+ mu^- in these studies is emphasized. Imposing the existing flavour constraints, a rich pattern of deviations from the SM expectations in rare B_{s,d} decays emerges provided M_H< 1 TeV. NP effects in rare K decays are very small. Neutral SM Higgs contributions to rare B and K decays turn out to be negligible once the constraints from Delta F=2 processes are taken into account. Finally, we point out striking differences between the correlations found here and in scenarios in which tree-level FCNC are mediated by a new neutral gauge boson Z'.

The phenomenon of magnetic catalysis of chiral symmetry breaking in the quantum chromodynamic theory in the framework of logarithmic quark sigma model is studied. Thermodynamic properties are calculated in the mean-field approximation such as the pressure, the entropy density, the energy density, and measure interaction. The pressure, the entropy density, and the energy density increase with increasing temperature and an external magnetic field. The critical temperature increases with increasing an external magnetic field. In addition, the chiral phase transition is crossover in the presence of an external magnetic field with absent of baryonic chemical potential when explicit symmetry breaking is included. A comparison is presented with the original sigma model and other works. A conclusion indicates that the logarithmic quark model enhances the magnetic catalysis phenomenon.

In theories with a low quantum gravity scale, global symmetries are expected to be violated, inducing excessive proton decay or large Majorana neutrino masses. The simplest cure is to impose discrete gauge symmetries, which in turn make neutrinos massless. We construct models that employ these gauge symmetries while naturally generating small neutrino masses. Majorana (Dirac) neutrino masses are generated through the breaking of a discrete (continuous) gauge symmetry at low energies, e.g., 2 keV to 1 GeV. The Majorana case predicts \Delta N_\nu \simeq 1 at BBN, neutrinoless double beta decay with scalar emission, and modifications to the CMB anisotropies from domain walls in the universe as well as providing a possible Dark Energy candidate. For the Dirac case, despite the presence of a new light gauge boson, all laboratory, astrophysical, and cosmological constraints can be avoided.

We construct a 3-3-1 model based on non-Abelian discrete symmetry $T_7$ responsible for the fermion masses. Neutrinos get masses from only anti-sextets which are in triplets $\underline{3}$ and $\underline{3}^*$ under $T_7$. The flavor mixing patterns and mass splitting are obtained without perturbation. The tribimaximal form obtained with the breaking $T_7 \rightarrow Z_3$ in charged lepton sector and both $T_7 \rightarrow Z_3$ and $Z_3 \rightarrow \{\mathrm{Identity}\}$ must be taken place in neutrino sector but only apart in breakings $Z_3 \rightarrow \{\mathrm{Identity}\}$ (without contribution of $\si'$), and the upper bound on neutrino mass $\sum_{i=1}^3m_i$ at the level is presented. The Dirac CP violation phase $\delta$ is predicted to either $\frac{\pi}{2}$ or $\frac{3\pi}{2}$ which is maximal CP violation. From the Dirac CP violation phase we obtain the relation between Euler's angles which is consistent with the experimental in PDG 2012. On the other hand, the realistic lepton mixing can be obtained if both the direction for breakings $T_7 \rightarrow Z_3$ and $Z_3 \rightarrow \{\mathrm{Identity}\}$ are taken place in neutrino sectors. The CKM matrix is the identity matrix at the tree-level.

The effective bottom Yukawa couplings are analyzed for the minimal supersymmetric extension of the Standard Model at two-loop accuracy within SUSY-QCD. They include the resummation of the dominant corrections for large values of tg(beta).

The effective bottom Yukawa couplings are analyzed for the minimal supersymmetric extension of the Standard Model at two-loop accuracy within SUSY-QCD. They include the resummation of the dominant corrections for large values of tg(beta). In particular the two-loop SUSY-QCD corrections to the leading SUSY-QCD and top-induced SUSY-electroweak contributions are addressed. The residual theoretical uncertainties range at the per-cent level.

We analyze the effect of the parton color randomization on $p_T$ broadening in the quark-gluon plasma with turbulent color fields. We calculate the transport coefficient for a simplified model of fluctuating color fields in the form of alternating sequential transverse layers with homogenous transverse chromomagnetic fields with random orientation in the SU(3) group and gaussian distribution in the magnitude. Our numerical results show that the color randomization can lead to a sizable reduction of the turbulent contribution to $\hat{q}$. The magnitude of the effect grows with increasing ratio of the electric and magnetic screening masses.

We discuss non-Gaussianity and baryonic isocurvature fluctuations in the curvaton scenario, assuming that the baryon asymmetry of the universe originates only from the decay products of the inflaton. When large non-Gaussianity is realized in such a scenario, non-vanishing baryonic isocurvature fluctuations can also be generated unless the baryogenesis occurs after the decay of the curvaton. We calculate the non-linearity parameter f_NL and the baryonic isocurvature fluctuations, taking account of the primordial fluctuations of both the inflaton and the curvaton. We show that, although current constraints on isocurvature fluctuations are severe, the non-linearity parameter can be large as f_NL \sim O(10-100) without conflicting with the constraints.

The survival probability for exclusive diffractive Higgs production is calculated. The contribution of short distance interactions are taken into account, by summing over Pomeron loops in perturbative QCD. The summation is performed by developing an iterative technique to sum over loop diagrams with higher and higher generations of loops. The results show that the survival probability depends inversely on energy and is small for the LHC range of energies, and could be even less than 1 %.

We propose a variant of hybrid inflation which is applicable in a wide class of supersymmetric grand unified models. The observed temperature perturbations of cosmic background radiation can be reproduced with natural values of the parameters of the theory and a grand unification scale which is consistent with the unification of the minimal supersymmetric standard model gauge couplings as measured at LEP. The termination of inflation is smooth and does not produce any topological defects. Finally, we present a specific supersymmetric model where our smooth hybrid inflationary scenario is realized.

In the QCD factorization (QCDF) approach we study the direct $CP$ violation in $\bar{B}^{0}\rightarrow\rho^0(\omega)\rho^0(\omega)\rightarrow\pi^+\pi^-\pi^+\pi^-$ via the $\rho-\omega$ mixing mechanism. We find that the $CP$ violation can be enhanced by double $\rho-\omega$ mixing when the masses of the $\pi^+\pi^-$ pairs are in the vicinity of the $\omega$ resonance, and the maximum $CP$ violation can reach 28{\%}. We also compare the results from the naive factorization and the QCD factorization.

We calculate the rate of precession of the direction of polarization of a photon traversing a sea of plane-polarized photons moving in the opposed direction, where the interaction is the one-loop "vacuum" Heisenberg-Euler coupling of four fields. Substantial precession can take place in a distance many orders of magnitude shorter than the free path for photon-photon scattering, mediated by the same interaction. We consider briefly the possibility of some interesting collective effects in the case in which instead of a particle and a sea, two seas are caused to collide.

We propose a new scenario of baryon number violation in models with extra dimensions. In the true vacuum, baryon number is almost conserved due to the localization mechanism of matter fields, which suppresses the interactions between quarks and leptons. We consider several types of cosmological defects in four-dimensional spacetime that shift the center of the localized matter fields, and show that the magnitudes of the baryon number violating interactions are well enhanced. Application to baryogenesis is also discussed.

We point out that for a range of parameters, the flux of DM may be stopped significantly by its interactions with the Earth. This can significantly degrade the sensitivity of direct detection experiments to DM candidates with large interactions with terrestrial nuclei. We find that a significant region of parameter space remains unconstrained for DM $\lesssim $ a few GeV. For DM candidates with moderate levels of stopping power, the flux of DM may be blocked from below but not above a detector thereby producing a novel daily modulation. This can be explored by low threshold detectors placed on the surface or in shallow sites in the south hemisphere.

The theoretical results agree with the experimental measurements up to errors, for the collision energy $\sqrt{s}\ge 19.6\,\mathrm{GeV}$. For smaller collision energies a discrepancy between theoretical and experimental results develops. This discrepancy partially relates to the lack of precision of the current setup for small collision energies. It is outlined how this deficiency can be overcome.

We apply a coupled transport-hydrodynamics model to discuss the production of multi-strange meta-stable objects in Pb+Pb reactions at the FAIR facility. In addition to making predictions for yields of these particles we are able to calculate particle dependent rapidity and momentum distributions. We argue that the FAIR energy regime is the optimal place to search for multi-strange baryonic object (due to the high baryon density, favouring a distillation of strangeness). Additionally, we show results for strangeness and baryon density fluctuations. Using the UrQMD model we calculate the strangeness seperation in phase space which might lead to an enhanced production of MEMOs compared to models that assume global thermalization.

Recently, it has been shown that the ground state of quantum chromodynamics (QCD) in sufficiently strong magnetic fields and at moderate baryon number chemical potential carries a crystalline condensate of neutral pions: the chiral soliton lattice (CSL). While the result was obtained in a model-independent manner using effective field theory techniques, its realization from first principles using lattice Monte Carlo simulation is hampered by the infamous sign problem. Here we show that CSL, or a similar inhomogeneous phase, also appears in the phase diagram of a class of vector-like gauge theories that do not suffer from the sign problem even in the presence of a baryon chemical potential and external magnetic field. We also show that the onset of nonuniform order manifests itself already in the adjacent homogeneous Bose-Einstein-condensation phase through a characteristic roton-like minimum in the dispersion relation of the lowest-lying quasiparticle mode. Last but not least, our work gives a class of explicit counterexamples to the long-standing conjecture that positivity of the determinant of the Dirac operator (that is, absence of the sign problem) in a vector-like gauge theory precludes spontaneous breaking of translational invariance, and thus implies the absence of inhomogeneous phases in the phase diagram of the theory.

Exclusive emissions of vector mesons in forward directions of rapidity offer us a faultless chance to probe the proton structure at small-$x$. A high-energy factorization formula is established within BFKL, given as the convolution of an impact factor depicting the forward-meson emission and of an unintegrated gluon distribution (UGD) driving the gluon evolution at small-$x$. As a nonperturbative quantity, the UGD is not well known and several models for it exist. We present recent progresses on the study of the exclusive forward $\rho$-meson leptoproduction at HERA and EIC energies, showing how osbervables sensitive to different polarization states of the $\rho$-particle act as discriminators for the existing UGD models.

We start from a recently favored picture in which the $\Lambda_c(2940)$ and $\Lambda_c(2910)$ correspond mostly to $ND^*$ bound states with $J^P = 1/2^-,\, 3/2^-$ and then add a $D$ as a third particle, looking for the possible binding of the $DND^*$ three body system within the framework of the Fixed Center Approximation. We find that the system is bound with respect to the corresponding $\Lambda_c^* D$ threshold with a binding of about $60$ MeV and a width of about $90$ MeV. Alternatively we assume a cluster of $ND$ and a $D^*$ meson interacting with the cluster and we find similar results. The observation of these states of $J^P = 1/2^+,\, 3/2^+$ would provide new and valuable information concerning the $DN$ and $D^* N$ interaction, an issue of current debate.

We consider $ZZ$ production in hadronic collisions and present state-of-the-art predictions in QCD perturbation theory matched to parton showers. Next-to-next-to-leading order corrections to the quark-initiated channel are combined with parton showers using the MiNNLO$_{\text{PS}}$ method, while next-to-leading order corrections to the loop-induced gluon fusion channel are matched using the POWHEG method. Their combination, dubbed nNNLO+PS, constitutes the best theoretical description of $ZZ$ events to date. Spin correlations, interferences and off-shell effects are included by calculating the full process $pp \to \ell^+\ell^-\ell^{(\prime)+}\ell^{(\prime)-}$. We show the crucial impact of higher-order corrections for both quark- and gluon-initiated processes as well as the relevance of the parton shower in certain kinematical regimes. Our predictions are in very good agreement with recent LHC data.
