where the singlet-doublet coupling $\lambda$ is as large as possible (keeping
the perturbativity bound intact) and the ratio between the vacuum expectation
values of the up-type and down-type Higgses ($\tan{\beta}$) is as small as
possible, which is the region representing the most natural case of the NMSSM.
We show the impact of recent constraints from the LHC on the SM-Higgs couplings
to bosons and fermions on the parameter space of the model and the consequent

still able to account for current data and provide an opportunity for discovery
of extended Higgs sectors, recent LHC Higgs couplings constraints rule-out
parts of the parameter space where $h_2$ (non-SM-like) and $a_1$ are
non-singlet with masses below ~400 GeV.

spectrum, in which stop mass $m_{\tilde t}$ is much smaller than the other
sfermion masses $m_0$. The natural SUSY-type sfermion mass spectrum has been
studied since the supersymmetric (SUSY) flavor-changing neutral currents (FCNC)
are suppressed because of large sfermion masses of the first two generations,
and the weak scale is stabilized because of the light stop. However, this type
of sfermion mass spectrum is severely constrained by CEDM, because the light
stop contributions to the up quark CEDM are not decoupled in the limit
$m_0\rightarrow\infty$, while the down quark CEDM is decoupled in the limit. It
is important that the constraints are severe even if SUSY-breaking parameters
(and Higgsino mass) are taken to be real because complex diagonalizing matrices
of Yukawa matrices, which are from complex Yukawa couplings, generate
nonvanishing CP phases in off-diagonal elements of sfermion mass matrices. We
calculate the CEDM of up and down quarks numerically in the minimal SUSY
standard model, and give the lower bounds for stop mass and the other sfermion
masses. We show that the lower bound of stop mass becomes 7 TeV to satisfy the
CEDM constraints from Hg EDM. The result is not acceptable if the weak scale
stability is considered seriously. We show that if the up-type Yukawa couplings
are taken to be real at the grand unification scale, the CEDM constraints are
satisfied even if $m_{\tilde t}\sim 1$ TeV.

existence of long lived neutralinos and charginos which decay inside the
detector leading to detached vertices. We demonstrate that the largest reach is
obtained in the displaced vertices channel and that practically all of the
reasonable parameter space will be covered with an integrated luminosity of 10
fb-1. We also compare the displaced vertex reaches of the LHC and Tevatron.

] | We investigate a neutrino mass model in which the neutrino data is accounted for by bilinear R-parity violating supersymmetry with anomaly mediated supersymmetry breaking. We focus on the CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC) phenomenology, studying the reach of generic supersymmetry search channels with leptons, missing energy and jets. A special feature of this model is the existence of long lived neutralinos and charginos which decay inside the detector leading to detached vertices. We demonstrate that the largest reach is obtained in the displaced vertices channel and that practically all of the reasonable parameter space will be covered with an integrated luminosity of 10 fb-1. We also compare the displaced vertex reaches of the LHC and Tevatron. |

nuclear targets. Therefore, improved nuclear corrections can also yield
enhanced flavor determination of both the proton and nuclear PDFs.

""... | The LHC heavy ion data for W/Z production can provide new incisive information on the PDFs. This data is sensitive to the heavier quark flavors (strange and charm) in a high energy kinematic region; this can facilitate the determination of PDFs in the small x region where previous data was limited. At present, the flavor separation of the proton PDFs is dependent on DIS data from nuclear targets. Therefore, improved nuclear corrections can also yield enhanced flavor determination of both the proton and nuclear PDFs. |

violation, while harmless and basically decoupled from the rest of physics in
the SM, in the context of LR symmetry provides a blessing by helping to narrow
down the parameter space of the theory and connecting apparently uncorrelated
physical quantities. In particular, in the context of left-right symmetry being
parity, it either points to the suppression of leptonic CP violation noticed
before, or it leads to relatively light right-handed neutrinos, potentially
accessible at the next hadron collider. The latter, more natural in view of

automatically eliminate the renormalization scheme and scale ambiguities in

nonconformal \beta-dependent terms in a QCD perturbative series can be readily
identified by generalizing the conventional renormalization schemes based on
dimensional regularization. We then demonstrate that the nonconformal series of
pQCD at any order can be resummed systematically into the scale of the QCD
coupling in a unique and unambiguous way due to a special degeneracy of the
\beta-terms in the series. The resummation follows from the principal of
maximum conformality (PMC) and assigns a unique scale for the running coupling
at each perturbative order. The final result is independent of the initial
choices of renormalization scheme and scale, in accordance with the principles
of the renormalization group, and thus eliminates an unnecessary source of
systematic error in physical predictions. We exhibit several examples known to
order \alpha_s^4; i.e. i) the electron-positron annihilation into hadrons, ii)
the tau-lepton decay to hadrons, iii) the Bjorken and Gross-Llewellyn Smith
(GLS) sum rules, and iv) the static quark potential. We show that the final
series of the first three cases are all given in terms of the anomalous
dimension of the gluon field, in accordance with conformality, and with all
non-conformal properties encoded in the running coupling. The final expressions
for the Bjorken and GLS sum rules directly lead to the generalized Crewther
relations, exposing another relevant feature of conformality. The static quark

through duality from disconnected AdS_5 minimal surfaces beyond the
Gross-Ooguri transition point, is combined with unitarity and analyticity
constraints in the central region. In this way we obtain an absolute bound on
the high-energy behavior of the forward scattering amplitude due to the
graviton interaction between minimal surfaces in the bulk. The dominant
"Pomeron" intercept is bounded by alpha less than or equal to 11/7 using the
AdS/CFT constraint of a weak gravitational field in the bulk. Assuming the
elastic eikonal approximation in a larger impact-parameter range gives alpha
between 4/3 and 11/7. The actual intercept becomes 4/3 if one assumes the
elastic eikonal approximation within its maximally allowed range L larger than
exp{Y/3}, where Y is the total rapidity. Subleading AdS/CFT contributions at
large impact-parameter due to the other d=10 supergravity fields are obtained.
A divergence in the real part of the tachyonic KK scalar is cured by
analyticity but signals the need for a theoretical completion of the AdS/CFT

its mixing with the Standard Model Higgs doublet. The triplet VEV provides a
sizable contribution to the $W$ mass, which helps in significantly lowering the
$7\sigma$ discrepancy between the Standard Model prediction and the higher CDF

An unbroken $Z_2$ gauge symmetry, coupled with the presence of two fermionic

violations at the underlying quark and gluon level. Chiral perturbation theory
provides a method for translating novel operators that may appear in the
Lagrange density for color-charged parton fields into equivalent forms for
effective theories at the meson and baryon levels. We extend the application of
this technique to the study of Lorentz-violating and potentially CPT-violating
operators from the minimal standard model extension. For dimension-4 operators,
there are nontrivial relations between the coefficients of baryon-level
operators related to underlying quark and gluon operators with the same Lorentz
structures. Moreover, in the mapping of the dimension-3 operators from the
quark and gluon level to the hadron level (considered here for the first time),
many of the hadronic observables contain no new low-energy coupling constants
at all, which makes it possible to make direct translations of bounds derived
using experiments on one kind of hadron into bounds in a completely different
corner of the hadronic sector. A notable consequence of this is bounds (at
$10^{-15}$-$10^{-20}$ GeV levels) on differences $a^{\mu}_{B}-a^{\mu}_{B'}$ of
Lorentz and CPT violation coefficients for $SU(3)_{f}$ octet baryons that
differ in their structure by the replacement of a single valance $d$ quark by a
$s$ quark. Never before has there been any proposal for how these kinds of

It was conjectured that small increases in the up and down quark masses can
move QCD to the critical trajectory for an infrared limit cycle in the
three-nucleon system. At the critical quark masses, the binding energies of the
deuteron and its spin-singlet partner are tuned to zero and the triton has
infinitely many excited states with an accumulation point at the three-nucleon
threshold. We exemplify three parameter sets where this effect occurs at
next-to-leading order in the chiral counting. For one of them, we study the
structure of the three-nucleon system in detail using both chiral and contact
effective field theories. Furthermore, we investigate the matching of the
chiral and contact theories in the critical region and calculate the influence
of the limit cycle on three-nucleon scattering observables.

density perturbation and non-Gaussianities | 18 pages (without references), 5 figures. Comments and requests are
earnestly welcome | null | null | null | hep-ph astro-ph.CO | http://arxiv.org/licenses/nonexclusive-distrib/1.0/ | We investigate the non-perturbatively generated axion-like particle (ALP)
potential, involving fermions in the dark sector that couple to the ALP, in an
early cosmological inflationary stage with the ALP being a spectator field. The
potential here deviates from the standard cosine nature due to the presence of
the two fermion masses $m_u$ and $m_d$ which couple to the ALP. The ALP is a
spectator field during inflation but it starts to oscillate and dominates the
energy density of the universe after inflation ends, thereby sourcing
isocurvature perturbations, while standard curvature fluctuations form the
inflaton are assumed to be sub-dominant. Subsequently the ALP decays converting
the isocurvature perturbations to adiabatic perturbations thereby acting as the
origin of the primordial density perturbations. We identify the parameter space
involving the axion decay constant $f_a$, scale of confinement $\Lambda$, ALP
mass $m$ and the masses of the fermions, $m_u$ and $m_d$ where it can
satisfactorily behave as the curvaton and source the observed primordial
density perturbation. We also predict local non-Gaussianity signals for
bi-spectrum and tri-spectrum $f_{NL}$ and $g_{NL}$, as a function of the ratio
$m_u/m_d$, which are within the allowed range in the latest Planck observations
and are detectable with future observations. Particularly we observed that the
value of $f_{NL}$ and $g_{NL}$ are dependent on the ratio of $m_u$ and $m_d$:
$f_{NL}$ is more or less positive for all scenarios except $m_u = m_d$ and
$g_{NL}$ is always positive irrespective of the ratio between $m_u$ and $m_d$.
The results of our analysis in the limit $m_u = m_d$ resembles vanilla curvaton
scenario while in the limit $m_u \gg m_d$ resembles pure axion cosine

decays using the light-front quark model constrained by the variational
principle for the QCD motivated effective Hamiltonian. The form factors
$f_+(q^2)$ and $f_-(q^2)$ are obtained from the analytic continuation method in
the $q^+=0$ frame. While the form factor $f_+(q^2)$ is free from the zero-mode,
the form factor $f_-(q^2)$ is not free from the zero-mode in the $q^+=0$ frame.
We quantify the zero-mode contributions to $f_-(q^2)$ for various semileptonic
$B_c$ decays. Using our effective method to relate the non-wave function vertex
to the light-front valence wave function, we incorporate the zero-mode
contribution as a convolution of zero-mode operator with the initial and final
state wave functions. Our results are then compared to the available
experimental data and the results from other theoretical approaches. Since the
prediction on the magnetic dipole $B^*_c\to B_c+\gamma$ decay turns out to be
very sensitive to the mass difference between $B^*_c$ and $B_c$ mesons, the
decay width $\Gamma(B^*_c \to B_c \gamma)$ may help in determining the mass of
$B^*_c$ experimentally. Furthermore, we compare the results from the harmonic
oscillator potential and the linear potential and identify the decay processes
that are sensitive to the choice of confining potential. From the future
experimental data on these sensitive processes, one may obtain more realistic
information on the potential between quark and antiquark in the heavy meson
system.

the former case, the standard QCD-sum-rules result is reproduced, while the

four dimensions. This fact excludes a possibility to have, in four dimensions,
very short strings (whose length has the scale of the lattice spacing), and
consequently the short-range linear potential (if it exists) cannot violate the

gluon condensate, and grows linearly with the number of colors in the same way
as the standard QCD-sum-rules expression. The use of the world-line formalism
enables one to generalize further both results to the case of finite

Key to understanding this phenomenon are nonleptonic $B$ decays, especially
multibody decays which exhibit large CP asymmetries in various regions of phase
space. A full QCD-based theoretical description of these decays is still
missing, requiring the use of models to fit the data. In this paper, we suggest
a model ansatz which reflects the underlying physics and the known mechanism of
CP violation via the CKM matrix. In addition, since CP violation is driven by
the interference between amplitudes with and without valence charm quarks, we
argue that the opening of the open-charm threshold may play an important role
in generating CP violation in the high invariant mass region. We present a
natural extension of the isobar model to incorporate these effects. We suggest
an analysis of nonleptonic three-body $B$ decay data including this extension,
which would be interesting as it may give new hints to the sources of CP
violation both at low and high invariant mass.
