1401.7703 | Peter Filip | Peter Filip | Magnetic Polarizability of Diquarks in Baryons | 4 pages, 1 figure, contribution to XV Workshop on High Energy Spin
Physics: DSPIN-13, October 8 - 12, 2013 (corrected misprints) | null | null | null | hep-ph | http://arxiv.org/licenses/nonexclusive-distrib/1.0/ | We study the response of diquark wave function in \Lambda-type baryons to
strong magnetic fields. It is found that quantum state of J=0 diquark (ud) in
the magnetic field changes due to magnetic polarizability, and constituent
quarks in (ud) diquark become polarized. The phenomenon influences polarized
quark distribution functions \Delta u(x) and \Delta d(x), which therefore may
be sensitive to the internal electromagnetic fields in hypernuclei. We also
speculate, that strange quark polarization in nucleon may originate from the
interaction of virtual (ss') quark pairs with the intrinsic magnetic field of
nucleon B $\approx$ 10^13 T.

jets in e+e- annihilation. In QCD the properties of a jet in general depend on
two scales, the energy and virtuality of the jet. Frequently theoretical
predictions apply to a situation where these scales coincide, while for
experimental data they are often different. Thus an analysis to extract e.g.
the asymptotic multiplicity ratio CF/CA between quark and gluon jets, needs a
carefully specified jet definition, together with a calculation of nonleading
corrections to the multiplicity evolution.
We propose methods to systematically study the separate dependence upon the
two scales in experimental data and compare the results with theory. We present
jet finding algorithms which corresponds well to the theoretically considered
jets. We also show that recoil effects add corrections to the modified leading
log approximation which are quantitatively important, though formally
suppressed at high energies.

responsible for the large-scale (low-energy/momentum), i.e., the
non-perturbative structure of the true QCD vacuum. In order to make the
existence of a mass gap pefrectly clear it is defined as the difference between
the regularized full gluon self-energy and its subtracted (also regularized)
counterpart. The mass gap is mainly generated by the nonlinear interaction of
massless gluon modes. A self-consistent violation of SU(3) color gauge
invariance/symmetry is duscussed in order to realize a mass gap in QCD. For
this purpose, we propose not to impose the transversality condition on the full
gluon self-energy, while restoring the transversality of the full gluon
propagtor relevant for the non-perturbative QCD at the final stage. At the same
time, the Slavnov-Taylor identity for the full gluon propagator is always
preserved. All this allows one to establish the general structure of the full
gluon propagator in the presence of a mass gap. In this case, two independent
types of formal solutions for the full gluon propagator have been established.

and $1.19\substack{+0.41+0.17\\-0.39 -0.16}$, respectively. This provides, for
the first time, evidence that the Standard Model Higgs couples to second
generation fermions. This measurement is particularly interesting in the
context of the intriguing hints for lepton flavor universality violation,
accumulated within recent years, as new physics explanations could also be
tested in the $h\to\mu^{+}\mu^{-}$ decay mode. Leptoquarks are prime candidates
to account for the flavor anomalies. In particular, they can provide the
necessary chiral enhancement (by a factor $m_t/m_\mu$) to address $a_\mu$ with
TeV scale new physics. In this letter we point out that such explanations of
$a_\mu$ also lead to enhanced effects in $h\to\mu^+\mu^-$ and we examine the
correlations between $h\to\mu^+\mu^-$ and $a_\mu$ within leptoquark models. We
find that the effect in the branching ratio of $h\to\mu^+\mu^-$ ranges from
several percent up to a factor three, if one aims at accounting for $a_\mu$ at
the $2\,\sigma$ level. Hence, the new ATLAS and CMS measurements already
provide important constraints on the parameter space, rule out specific $a_\mu$
explanations and will be very important to test the flavor anomalies in the
future.

This measurement is particularly interesting in the context of the intriguing hints for lepton flavor universality violation, accumulated within recent years, as new physics explanations could also be tested in the $h\to\mu^{+}\mu^{-}$ decay mode. Leptoquarks are prime candidates to account for the flavor anomalies. In particular, they can provide the necessary chiral enhancement (by a factor $m_t/m_\mu$) to address $a_\mu$ with TeV scale new physics. In this letter we point out that such explanations of $a_\mu$ also lead to enhanced effects in $h\to\mu^+\mu^-$ and we examine the correlations between $h\to\mu^+\mu^-$ and $a_\mu$ within leptoquark models. We find that the effect in the branching ratio of $h\to\mu^+\mu^-$ ranges from several percent up to a factor three, if one aims at accounting for $a_\mu$ at the $2\,\sigma$ level. Hence, the new ATLAS and CMS measurements already provide important constraints on the parameter space, rule out specific $a_\mu$ explanations and will be very important to test the flavor anomalies in the future. |

supernova (SN) neutrino and antineutrino spectra. These spectral splits depend
not only on the mass hierarchy of the neutrinos but also on the initial
relative flux composition. Observation of spectral splits in a future galactic
supernova signal is expected to throw light on the mass hierarchy pattern of
the neutrinos. However, since the Diffuse Supernova Neutrino Background (DSNB)
comprises of a superposition of neutrino fluxes from all past supernovae, and
since different supernovae are expected to have slightly different initial
fluxes, it is pertinent to check if the hierarchy dependent signature of
collective oscillations can survive this averaging of the flux spectra. Since
the actual distribution of SN with initial relative flux spectra of the
neutrinos and antineutrinos is unknown, we assume a log-normal distribution for
them. We study the dependence of the hierarchy sensitivity to the mean and
variance of the log-normal distribution function. We find that the hierarchy
sensitivity depends crucially on the mean value of the relative initial
luminosity. The effect of the width is to reduce the hierarchy sensitivity for
all values of the mean initial relative luminosity. We find that in the very
small mixing angle ($\theta_{13}$) limit considering only statistical errors
even for very moderate values of variance, there is almost no detectable
hierarchy sensitivity if the mean relative luminosities of $\nu_e$ and
$\bar\nu_e$ are greater than 1.

electroweak invariance implies: 1) a significantly reduced set of leading order
operators compared to only imposing $U(1)_{em}$ invariance; and 2) other
collider signatures. Prior to imposing electroweak invariance we find a minimal
basis of 24 dimension-9 operators, which is reduced to 11 electroweak invariant
operators at leading order in the expansion in the Higgs vacuum expectation
value. We set up a systematic analysis of the hadronic realization of the
4-quark operators using chiral perturbation theory, and apply it to determine
which of these operators have long-distance pion enhancements at leading order
in the chiral expansion. We also find at dimension--11 and dimension--13 the
electroweak invariant operators that after electroweak symmetry breaking
produce the remaining $\Delta L=2$ operators that would appear at dimension--9
if only $U(1)_{em}$ is imposed.

the $\bar{\mathrm{MS}}$ subtraction scheme, while the nonperturbative one uses
the static quark potential. The momentum-space perturbative static potential is
calculated in the SU(2)--Higgs model, and is Fourier transformed into
coordinate space. Based on the connection between the coupling constants,
two-loop perturbative and 4-dimensional lattice simulation results are
contrasted. The thermodynamical parameters of the phase transition indicate
that perturbative results are reliable only for low Higgs masses, far from the
endpoint. The value of the endpoint can be refined to $72.1\pm1.4$ GeV. The
Higgs mass range for which dimensional reduction yields reliable results is
identified. As an extension of the standard model, the MSSM is also studied.
Some useful trends are indicated by a simple one-loop perturbative approach:
baryogenesis requirements are more easily met if the stop is lighter thanthe
top; colour-breaking phase transition may be possible, etc. In order to perform
4D nonperturbative studies the supercomputer PMS was built at E\"otv\"os

Also, the method provides a means to assess a specific class of mixed

based on particle correlations. The results are analyzed using the Wald,
likelihood ratio, and score tests of hypotheses. Besides, the resultant flow
harmonics obtained using MLE are compared with those derived using particle

in semileptonic $B$ meson decays, both in the charged-current ($b \to c l \bar
\nu_l$) and neutral-current ($b \to s ll $) transitions. Motivated by these
intriguing results, we perform a model independent analysis of the semileptonic
$\Lambda_b$ decays involving the quark level transitions $b \to (u,c) l \nu_l$,
in order to scrutinize the nature of new physics. We constrain the new
parameter space by using the measured branching ratios of $B_{c, u}^+ \to
\tau^+ \nu_\tau$, $B \to \pi \tau \nu_\tau$ processes and the existing
experimental results on $R_{D^{(*)}}$, $R_{J/\psi}$ and $R_{\pi}^l$ parameters.
Using the constrained parameters, we estimate the branching ratios, forward
backward asymmetries, hadron and lepton polarization asymmetries of the
$\Lambda_b \to (\Lambda_c, p) l \nu_l$ processes. Moreover, we also examine
whether there could be any lepton universality violation in these decay modes.

] | In recent times, several hints of lepton non-universality have been observed in semileptonic $B$ meson decays, both in the charged-current ($b \to c l \bar \nu_l$) and neutral-current ($b \to s ll $) transitions. Motivated by these intriguing results, we perform a model independent analysis of the semileptonic $\Lambda_b$ decays involving the quark level transitions $b \to (u,c) l \nu_l$, in order to scrutinize the nature of new physics. We constrain the new parameter space by using the measured branching ratios of $B_{c, u}^+ \to \tau^+ \nu_\tau$, $B \to \pi \tau \nu_\tau$ processes and the existing experimental results on $R_{D^{(*)}}$, $R_{J/\psi}$ and $R_{\pi}^l$ parameters. Using the constrained parameters, we estimate the branching ratios, forward backward asymmetries, hadron and lepton polarization asymmetries of the $\Lambda_b \to (\Lambda_c, p) l \nu_l$ processes. Moreover, we also examine whether there could be any lepton universality violation in these decay modes. |

rapid initial heating of the parton system provides a driving force for the

opposite point on the vacuum manifold. This converts the entire hot region into
a single DCC domain. Subsequent rolling down of the chiral field to its true
vacuum will then lead to emission of a large number of (approximately) coherent
pions. The requirement of suppression of thermal fluctuations to maintain the
(approximate) coherence of such a large DCC domain, favors three dimensional
expansion of the plasma over the longitudinal expansion even at very early
stages of evolution. This also constrains the maximum temperature of the system
to lie within a window. We roughly estimate this window to be about 200 - 400
MeV. These results lead us to predict that extremely high energy collisions of
{\it very small nuclei} (possibly hadrons) are better suited for observing
signatures of a large DCC. Another possibility is to focus on {\it peripheral}

(alpha_{S}) of the singlet as ve^{-2(alpha_{S}-1)*pi*kR}. This suppression is
due to a small overlap between the profile of the singlet zero mode and the

parton model, in which the usual parton distributions emerge as a tool to
describe the nucleon in terms of quark and gluonic degrees of freedom. To study
its exclusive version, a new class of phenomenological functions is required,
namely, generalized parton distributions. They can be considered as a
generalization of the usual parton distributions measured in deeply inelastic

modulation of the DM-induced recoil event rates observed underground due to the
self-rotation of the Earth. For electron recoil signals from DM-electron

the diurnal modulation cannot be observed for halo DM. We propose a novel type
of diurnal modulation effect: diurnal modulation in electron recoil signals
induced by DM-nucleon scattering via the Migdal effect. We set so far the most
stringent constraints on DM-nucleon scattering cross section via the Migdal
effect for sub-GeV DM using the S2-only data of PandaX-II and PandaX-4T with
improved simulations of the Earth shielding effect. Based on the updated

effective field theory for non-relativistic Majorana particles. We apply the

apply it to the case of a heavy Majorana neutrino decaying in a hot plasma of
Standard Model particles, whose temperature is much smaller than the mass of
the Majorana neutrino but still much larger than the electroweak scale, and the
derivation of the neutrino thermal width is revisited in an EFT fashion.
Assuming the same hierarchy between heavy neutrino masses and the temperature,
we compute systematically thermal corrections to the direct and indirect CP
asymmetries in the Majorana neutrino decays. These are key ingredients entering
the equations that describe the thermodynamic evolution of the induced
lepton-number asymmetry eventually leading to the baryon asymmetry in the

hierarchical spectrum with one heavy neutrino much lighter than the other
neutrino species. Flavour effects are also taken into account in the derivation
of the CP asymmetries at finite temperature.

determined for the case that the current carries a non-zero Matsubara
frequency, both in a weak-coupling approach and through lattice QCD. We point
out that such screening masses are sensitive to the same infrared physics as
light-cone real-time rates. In particular, on the perturbative side, the
inhomogeneous Schrodinger equation determining screening correlators is shown
to have the same general form as the equation implementing LPM resummation for
the soft-dilepton and photon production rates from a hot QCD plasma. The static
potential appearing in the equation is identical to that whose soft part has
been determined up to NLO and on the lattice in the context of jet quenching.
Numerical results based on this potential suggest that screening masses
overshoot the free results (multiples of 2piT) more strongly than at zero
Matsubara frequency. Four-dimensional lattice simulations in two-flavour QCD at
temperatures of 250 and 340 MeV confirm the non-static screening masses at the
10% level. Overall our results lend support to studies of jet quenching based
on the same potential at T > 250 MeV.

the pair production of the non-SM Higgs bosons via the universal gauge
interactions is the dominant mechanism once above the kinematic threshold.
Single Higgs boson production associated with a pair of heavy fermions could be
important in the parameter region with enhanced Yukawa couplings. For both
signal final states, $\mu^+\mu^-$ annihilation channels dominate over the
vector boson fusion (VBF) processes, except at high center of mass energies
where the VBF processes receive large logarithmic enhancement with the increase
of energies. Single Higgs boson $s$-channel production in
$\mu^+\mu^-$-annihilation via the radiative return can also be important for
the Type-L 2HDM in the very large $\tan\beta$ region, extending the kinematic
reach of the heavy Higgs boson mass to the collider energy. Considering both
the production and decay of non-SM Higgs bosons, signals can be identified over
the Standard Model backgrounds. With the pair production channels via
annihilation, 95\% C.L. exclusion reaches in the Higgs mass up to the
production mass threshold of $\sqrt{s}/2$ are possible when channels with
different final states are combined. Including single production modes can
extended the reach further. Different types of 2HDMs can be distinguishable for

modern physics. The universe including this paper and even the reader
him(her)self seems to be built up of ordinary matter only. Theoretically, the
well-known Sakharov's conditions remain the solid framework explaining the
circumstances that matter became dominant against the antimatter while the
universe cools down and/or expands. On the other hand, the standard model for
elementary particles apparently prevents at least two conditions out of them.
In this work, we introduce a systematic study of the antiparticle-to-particle
ratios measured in various $NN$ and $AA$ collisions over the last three
decades. It is obvious that the available experimental facilities turn to be
able to perform nuclear collisions, in which the matter-antimatter asymmetry
raises from $\sim 0%$ at AGS to $\sim 100%$ at LHC. Assuming that the final
state of hadronization in the nuclear collisions takes place along the
freezeout line, which is defined by a constant entropy density, various
antiparticle-to-particle ratios are studied in framework of the hadron
resonance gas (HRG) model. Implementing modified phase space and distribution
function in the grand-canonical ensemble and taking into account the
experimental acceptance, the ratios of antiparticle-to-particle over the whole
range of center-of-mass-energies are very well reproduced by the HRG model.
Furthermore, the antiproton-to-proton ratios measured by ALICE in $pp$
collisions is also very well described by the HRG model. It is likely to
conclude that the LHC heavy-ion program will produce the same particle ratios
as the $pp$ program implying the dynamics and evolution of the system would not
depend on the initial conditions. The ratios of bosons and baryons get very
close to unity indicating that the matter-antimatter asymmetry nearly vanishes
at LHC.

the Standard Model (SM), can be produced at the LHC in pairs or association.
Owing to their large masses, their eventual decay products -- SM leptons and
bosons -- tend to be highly boosted, with the jets stemming from the SM bosons
more likely to manifest themselves as a single fat-jet rather than two resolved
ones. With the corresponding SM backgrounds being suppressed, final states with
two or three leptons and one or two fat-jets are expected to be sensitive in
probing exotic fermions much heavier than 1 TeV, and we propose and investigate
an appropriate search strategy. To concentrate on the essential, we consider
extensions of the SM by leptonic multiplets of a single kind (triplets,
quadruplets or quintuplets), bearing in mind that such simplified models
typically arise as low-energy limits of more ambitious scenarios addressing
various lacunae of the SM. Performing a systematic and comprehensive study of
nine such scenarios at the 13 TeV LHC, we find that the corresponding $5\sigma$
discovery reaches a range from 985 GeV to 1650 GeV (1345 GeV to 2020 GeV) for

QCD calculation of the $\Lambda_b\to\Lambda$ transition form factors, we study
this interesting decay within the aligned two-Higgs-doublet model, paying
particularly attention to effects of the chirality-flipped operators generated
by the charged scalars. In order to extract the full set of angular
coefficients in this decay, we consider the following ten angular observables
that can be derived from the analysis of the subsequent parity-violating
$\Lambda\to p\pi^-$ decay: the differential branching fraction ${\rm d}{\cal

hadron- and combined lepton-hadron-side forward-backward asymmetries $A_{\rm

other five asymmetry observables $Y_i$~($i={\rm 2,\,3s,\,3sc,\,4s,\,4sc}$).
Detailed numerical comparisons are made between the SM and NP values for these
angular observables. It is found that, under the constraints from the inclusive
$B\to X_s\gamma$ branching fraction and the latest global fit results of $b\to
s\ell\ell$ data, the contributions of right-handed semileptonic operators
$O^{\prime}_{9,10}$, besides reconciling the $P_5^{\prime}$ anomaly observed in

C | null | 10.1140/epjc/s10052-018-5961-3 | null | hep-ph | http://arxiv.org/licenses/nonexclusive-distrib/1.0/ | The strong decays of the $5^1S_0$ $q\bar{q}$ states are evaluated in the
$^3P_0$ model with two types of space wave functions. Comparing the model
expectations with the experimental data for the $\pi(2360)$, $\eta(2320)$,
$X(2370)$, and $X(2500)$, we suggest that the $\pi(2360)$, $\eta(2320)$, and
$X(2500)$ can be assigned as the members of the $5^1S_0$ meson nonet, while the
$5^1S_0$ assignment for the $X(2370)$ is not favored by its width. The $5^1S_0$
kaon is predicted to have a mass of about 2418 MeV and a width of about 163 MeV
or 225 MeV.

parity breaking Chern-Simons term, the propagating modes of the photon consists
of two longielliptic waves with different values for the masses. However, it is
shown that both in the high temperature and high density limit the parity
symmetry is restored; in this limit the propagating modes reduce to the
longitudinal and transverse ones, both with the same mass.

account the Zeeman interaction of spin-1/2 quasi-particles (electrons) with
tilted (with respect to a system plane) external magnetic field. The Zeeman
interaction is proportional to magnetic moment $\mu_B$ of electrons. It is
shown that at $\mu_B\ne 0$ the magnetic catalysis effect is drastically changed
in comparison with the $\mu_B= 0$ case.

Talk presented at PASCOS-98 | null | null | RU-98-31 | hep-ph | null | The properties of singlet fields in supergravity background are discussed.
Particularly, it is shown that the ${\cal{O}}(\Lambda^{2})$ contributions to
their one-point function lead to novel derivations of effective scales such as
the $\mu$ parameter, a messenger scale, an intermediate symmetry-breaking
scale, and the unification scale, in terms of the scale of spontaneous
supersymmetry-breaking in a hidden sector.The singlet one-point function
effectively serves as a messenger of supersymmetry breaking.
