Axion-like particles (ALPs) can provide a portal to new states of a dark sector. We study the phenomenology of this portal when the ALP mainly decays invisibly, while its interaction with the standard model sector proceeds essentially via its coupling to electrons and/or photons. We re-analyse existing limits from various collider and beam dump experiments, including in particular ALP production via electron/positron interactions, in addition to the usual production through ALP-photon coupling. We further discuss the interplay between these limits and the intriguing possibility of explaining simultaneously the muon and electron magnetic moment anomalies. Finally, we illustrate the prospects of ALP searches at the LNF positron fixed-target experiment PADME, and the future reach of an upgraded experimental setup.

According to supersimplicity in MSSM, a renormalization scheme (SRS) may be defined for any high energy 2-to-2 process, to the 1loop EW order; where the helicity conserving (HC) amplitudes, are expressed as a linear combination of just three universal logarithm-involving forms. All other helicity amplitudes vanish asymptotically. Including to these SRS amplitudes the corresponding counter terms, the "supersimple" expressions for the high energy HC amplitudes, renormalized on-shell, are obtained. Previously, this property was noted for a large number of processes that do not involve Yukawa interactions or renormalization group corrections. Here we extend it to $e^-e^+\to t \bar t$, which does involve large Yukawa and renormalization group contributions. We show that the resulting "supersimple" expressions may provide an accurate description, even at energies comparable to the SUSY scale. Such descriptions clearly identify the origin of the important SUSY effects, and they may be used for quickly constraining physics contributions, beyond MSSM.

We have completed the one-loop renormalisation of the Next-to-Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (NMSSM) allowing for and comparing between different renormalisation schemes. A special attention is paid to on-shell schemes. We study a variety of these schemes based on alternative choices of the physical input parameters. In this paper we present our approach to the renormalisation of the NMSSM and report on our results for the neutralino-chargino and sfermion sectors. We will borrow some results from our study of the Higgs sector whose full discussion is left for a separate publication. We have implemented the set up for all the sectors of the NMSSM within \sloops, a code for the automatic computation of one-loop corrections initially developed for the standard model and the MSSM. Among the many applications that allows the code, we present here the one-loop corrections to neutralino masses and to partial widths of neutralinos and charginos into final states with one gauge boson. One-loop electroweak and QCD corrections to the partial widths of third generation sfermions into a fermion and a chargino or a neutralino are also computed.

As the fundamental SU(2) supersymmetric parameters can be determined in the chargino sector, and the remaining fundamental parameters of the minimal supersymmetric extensions of the standard model can be analyzed in the neutralino sector, the two sectors can be correlated via these parameters. We have shown that for the CP conserving case, the masses of all the neutralinos can be determined in terms of the chargino masses, and $\tan\beta$. In this case the neutralino masses are quite insensitive to the variations of $\tan\beta$; they change by about $%15$ when $\tan\beta$ varies in the range from 5 to 50. In the CP violating case, the neutralino masses are found to be quite sensitive to the variations of the CP violating phase. For the heavier neutralinos the dependence of the masses to the CP violating phase show complementary behaviour at CP violating points.

I report some progress that occurred since NO-VE08 in the field of non-standard interactions (NSI) of neutrinos. After briefly reviewing theoretical developments, I give a summary of the two works in which I was involved. Firstly, we have formulated a perturbative framework to illuminate the global features of neutrino oscillations with NSI, aiming at exploring method for determination of the standard mixing and the NSI parameters. We have recognized that the parameter degeneracy prevails with an extended form which involves the NSI elements. Furthermore, a completely new type of degeneracy is shown to exist. The nature of the former degeneracy is analyzed in detail in the second work. The work is primarily devoted to analyze the problem of discriminating the two CP violation, one due to the lepton Kobayashi-Maskawa phase and the other by phases of the NSI elements. We have shown that the near (3000 km)-far (7000 km) two detector setting in neutrino factory does have the discrimination capability and is sensitivities to CP violation due to NSI to |epsilon_{e\mu}| to \simeq several x 10^{-4} in most of the region of \delta and \phi.

We apply the Bogoliubov-de Gennes equations to the confinement of a monopole-antimonopole pair in a superconductor. This is related to the problem of a quark-antiquark pair bound by a confining string, consisting of a colour-electric flux tube, dual to the magnetic vortex of type-II superconductors. We study the confinement of the field lines due to the superconducting state and calculate the effective potential between the two monopoles. At short distances the potential is Coulombic and at large distances the potential is linear, as previously determined solving the Ginzburg-Landau equations. The magnetic field lines and the string tension are also studied as a function of the temperature $T$. Because we take into account the explicit fermionic degrees of freedom, this work may open new perspectives to the breaking of chiral symmetry or to colour superconductivity.

The electron-positron pair production due to the dynamical Schwinger process in a slowly oscillating strong electric field is enhanced by the superposition of a rapidly oscillating weaker electric field. A systematic account of the enhancement by the resulting bifrequent field is provided for the residual phase space distribution. The enhancement is explained by a severe reduction of the suppression in both the tunneling and multiphoton regimes.

This talk reviews the status of QCD calculations of photon and dilepton production rates in a Quark-Gluon plasma. Theses rates are known to order ${\cal O}(\alpha_s)$. Their calculations involve various resummations to account for well identified physical effects that are briefly described. Lattice calculations of the spectral functions give also access to the dilepton rates. Comparison with perturbative results points to inconsistencies in both approaches when the dilepton energy becomes small.

This is an incomplete survey of some non-Abelian discrete symmetries which have been used recently in attempts to understand the flavor structure of leptons and quarks. To support such symmetries, new scalar particles are required. In some models, they are very massive, in which case there may not be much of a trace of their existence at the TeV scale. In other models, they are themselves at the TeV scale, in which case there is a reasonable chance for them to be revealed at the LHC (Large Hadron Collider) at CERN.

If dark matter possesses a lepton number, it is natural to expect the dark-matter annihilation and/or decay mainly produces the standard model leptons, while negligible amount of the antiproton is produced. To illustrate such a simple idea, we consider a scenario that a right-handed sneutrino dark matter decays into the standard model particles through tiny R-parity violating interactions. Interestingly enough, charged leptons as well as neutrinos are directly produced, and they can lead to a sharp peak in the predicted positron fraction. Moreover, the decay of the right-handed sneutrino also generates diffuse continuum gamma rays which may account for the excess observed by EGRET, while the primary antiproton flux can be suppressed. Those predictions on the cosmic-ray fluxes of the positrons, gamma rays and antiprotons will be tested by the PAMELA and FGST observatories.

CERN dilepton experiments have provided the most exciting data. Strong enhancement at low masses observed by CERES and HELIOS3 indicate strong modification in the vector channel in matter compared to vacuum properties. NA50 data on $J/\psi$ suppression in PbPb collisions show surprising deviation from the previous trend. The question is whether it is the expected early-time signal of QGP, or due to late-time hadronic interactions. Theoretical and experimental suggestions have been made to resolve this issue. BNL and SPS experiments have also provided rather complete data with heavy beams (Au and Pb, respectively). Very strong collective flow effects have been observed at both energies, which allow for the first time to restrict the EOS of the hadronic matter. Several observables (flow, Coulomb effects and HBT) suggest rather long evolution of systems created in heavy ion collisions and very low freeze-out densities relative to previous studies. Theory of jet stopping in QGP is becoming quantitative.

We propose a QCD-inspired two-component Pomeron form which gives an excellent description of the proton-proton, pi-proton, kaon-proton, gamma-proton and gamma-gamma total cross sections. Our fit has a better CHI2/dof for a smaller number of parameters as compared with the PDG fit. Our 2-Pomeron form is fully compatible with weak Regge exchange-degeneracy, universality, Regge factorization and the generalized vector dominance model.

We consider heavy quark production in high energy pA collisions and investigate the contribution of interactions of valence quarks of proton with the nucleus. The often made assumption that valence quarks of proton can be factored out is justified only if the nucleus saturation momentum is much smaller than the heavy quark mass. This is not the case in phenomenologically relevant situations. Breakdown of factorization manifests itself in substantial decrease of the cross section at large total and small relative transverse momenta of the heavy quark -antiquark pair.

We present a simple model in which dark matter couples to the standard model through a light scalar intermediary that is itself unstable. We find this model has several notable features, and allows a natural explanation for a surplus of positrons, but no surplus of anti-protons, as has been suggested by early data from PAMELA and ATIC. Moreover, this model yields a very small nucleon coupling, well below the direct detection limits. In this paper we explore the effect of this model in both the early universe and in the galaxy.

Heavy neutral leptons (HNLs) with masses around the electroweak scale are expected to be rather long-lived particles, as a result of the observed smallness of the active neutrino masses. In this work, we study long-lived HNLs in $N_R$SMEFT, a Standard Model (SM) extension with singlet fermions to which we add non-renormalizable operators up to dimension-6. Operators which contain two HNLs can lead to a sizable enhancement of the production cross sections, compared to the minimal case where HNLs are produced only via their mixing with the SM neutrinos. We calculate the expected sensitivities for the ATLAS detector and the future far-detector experiments: AL3X, ANUBIS, CODEX-b, FASER, MATHUSLA, and MoEDAL-MAPP in this setup. The sensitive ranges of the HNL mass and of the active-heavy mixing angle are much larger than those in the minimal case. We study both, Dirac and Majorana, HNLs and discuss how the two cases actually differ phenomenologically, for HNL masses above roughly 100 GeV.

For Non-Relativistic QCD the velocity renormalization group correlates the renormalization scales for ultrasoft, potential and soft degrees of freedom. Here we discuss the renormalization of operators by ultrasoft gluons. We show that renormalization of soft vertices can induce new operators, and also present a procedure for correctly subtracting divergences in mixed potential-ultrasoft graphs. Our results affect the running of the spin-independent potentials in QCD. The change for the NNLL t-tbar cross section near threshold is very small, being at the 1% level and essentially independent of the energy. We also discuss implications for analyzing situations where mv^2 ~ Lambda_QCD.

We construct a leading-order effective field theory for both scalar and axial-vector heavy diquarks, and consider its power expansion in the heavy diquark limit. By assuming the transition from QCD to diquark effective theory, we derive the most general form for the effective diquark transition currents based on the heavy diquark symmetry. The short-distance coefficients between QCD and heavy diquark effective field theory are also obtained by a tree level matching. With the effective currents in the heavy diquark limit, we perform a reduction of the form factors for semi-leptonic decays of doubly heavy baryons, and find that only one nonperturbative function is remaining. It is shown that this soft function can be related to the Isgur-Wise function in heavy meson transitions. As a phenomenological application, we take a single pole structure for the reduced form factor, and use it to calculate the semi-leptonic decay widths of doubly heavy baryons. The obtained results are consistent with others given in the literature, and can be tested in the future.

An effective non-local quantum field theory is constructed, which describes interaction of pomerons in the high-coloured QCD. The theory includes both splitting and merging triple pomeron vertexes and diagrams with pomeronic loops. The Schwinger-Dyson equations for the 'physical' pomeron are written. Conformal invariance allows to reduce the theory to the old-fashioned Gribov pomeron theory with an infinite number of pomerons, one of which is supercritical.

The excess of events in the diphoton final state near 750 GeV observed by ATLAS and CMS can be explained within the NMSSM near the R-symmetry limit. Both scalars beyond the Standard Model Higgs boson have masses near 750 GeV, mix strongly, and share sizeable production cross sections in association with b-quarks as well as branching fractions into a pair of very light pseudoscalars. Pseudoscalars with a mass of ~ 210 MeV decay into collimated diphotons, whereas pseudoscalars with a mass of ~ 500-550 MeV can decay either into collimated diphotons or into three pi^0 resulting in collimated photon jets. Various such scenarios are discussed; the dominant constraints on the latter scenario originate from bounds on radiative Upsilon decays, but they allow for a signal cross section up to 6.7 fb times the acceptance for collimated multiphotons to pass as a single photon.

We extend earlier work on leading logarithms in the massive nonlinear O(n) sigma model to the case of SU(N)xSU(N)/SU(N) which coincides with mesonic chiral perturbation theory for N flavours of light quarks. We discuss the leading logarithms for the mass and decay constant to six loops and for the vacuum expectation value <\bar{q}q> to seven loops. For dynamical quantities the expressions grow extremely large much faster such that we only quote the leading logarithms to five loops for the vector and scalar form factor and for meson-meson scattering. The last quantity we consider is the vector-vector to meson-meson amplitude where we quote results up to four loops for a subset of quantities, in particular for the pion polarizabilities. As a side result we provide an elementary proof that the factors of N appearing at each loop order are odd or even depending on the order and the remaining traces over external flavours.

The quantum chromodynamics (QCD) axion may solve the strong CP problem and explain the dark matter (DM) abundance of our Universe. The axion was originally proposed to arise as the pseudo-Nambu Goldstone boson of global $\mathrm{U}(1)_{\rm PQ}$ Peccei-Quinn (PQ) symmetry breaking, but axions also arise generically in string theory as zero modes of higher-dimensional gauge fields. In this work we show that string theory axions behave fundamentally differently from field theory axions in the early Universe. Field theory axions may form axion strings if the PQ phase transition takes place after inflation. In contrast, we show that string theory axions do not generically form axion strings. In special inflationary paradigms, such as D-brane inflation, string theory axion strings may form; however, their tension is parametrically larger than that of field theory axion strings. We then show that such QCD axion strings overproduce the DM abundance for all allowed QCD axion masses and are thus ruled out, except in scenarios with large warping. A loop-hole to this conclusion arises in the axiverse, where an axion string could be composed of multiple different axion mass eigenstates; a heavier eigenstate could collapse the network earlier, allowing for the QCD axion to produce the correct DM abundance and also generating observable gravitational wave signals.

Exact solutions of Schroedinger and Pauli equations for charged particles in an external stationary electromagnetic field of an arbitrary configuration are constructed. Green functions of scalar and spinor particles are calculated in this field. The corresponding equations for complex energy of particles bounded by short range potential are deduced. Boundary condition typical for delta - potential is not used in the treatment. Explicit analytical expressions are given for the shift and width of a quasistationary level for different configurations of the external field. The critical value of electric field in which the idea of quasistationary level becomes meaningless is calculated. It is shown that the common view on the stabilizing role of magnetic field concerns only scalar particles.

We study the noncommutative corrections on the time-dependent Aharonov-Bohm effect when both the coordinate-coordinate and momentum-momentum noncommutativities are considered. This study is motivated by the recent observation that there is no net phase shift in the time-dependent AB effect on the ordinary space, and therefore tiny derivation from zero can indicate new physics. The vanishing of the time-dependent AB phase shift on the ordinary space is preserved by the gauge and Lorentz symmetries. However, on the noncomutative phase space, while the ordinary gauge symmetry can be kept by the Seiberg-Witten map, but the Lorentz symmetry is broken. Therefore nontrivial noncommutative corrections are expected. We find there are three kinds of noncommutative corrections in general: 1) $\xi$-dependent correction which comes from the noncommutativity among momentum operators; 2) momentum-dependent correction which is rooted in the nonlocal interactions in the noncommutative extended model; 3) momentum-independent correction which emerges become of the gauge invariant condition on the nonlocal interactions in the noncommutative model. We proposed two dimensionless quantities, which are based on the distributions of the measured phase shift with respect to the external magnetic field and to the cross section enclosed by the particle trajectory, to extract the noncommutative parameters. We find that stronger (weaker) magnetic field strength can give better bounds on the coordinate-coordinate (momentum-momentum) noncommutative parameter, and large parameter space region can be explored by the time-dependent AB effect.

Recently there has been a surge of new experimental proposals to search for ultra-light axion dark matter with axion mass, $m_a\lesssim1\,\mu$eV. Many of these proposals search for small oscillating magnetic fields induced in or around a large static magnetic field. Lately, there has been interest in alternate detection schemes which search for oscillating electric fields in a similar setup. In this paper, we explicitly solve Maxwell's equations in a simplified geometry and demonstrate that in this mass range, the axion induced electric fields are heavily suppressed by boundary conditions. Unfortunately, experimentally measuring axion induced electric fields is not feasible in this mass regime using the currently proposed setups with static primary fields. We show that at larger axion masses, induced electric fields are not suppressed, but boundary effects may still be relevant for an experiment's sensitivity. We then make a general argument about a generic detector configuration with a static magnetic field to show that the electric fields are always suppressed in the limit of large wavelength.

The Large Electron Positron collider observed an indication for a new Higgs boson with a mass around $95$ GeV-$100$ GeV in 2003. The interest in this excess re-emerged with di-photon ($\approx$95 GeV), $WW$ and $\tau\tau$ signatures obtained by the Large Hadron Collider, leading to a combined global significance of $3.8\sigma$. We perform a feasibility study for discovering such a new scalar at future electron-positron colliders using the recoil-mass method applied to $e^{+} e^{-} \to ZS$ with $Z \rightarrow \mu^{+} \mu^{-}$ and $S \to b \bar{b}$. We employ a Deep Neural Network to enhance the separation between the Standard Model background and the signal, reducing the required integrated luminosity for a discovery by a factor of two to three. As a result, a $SU(2)_L$ singlet Higgs can be observed at a 250 GeV centre-of-mass energy collider and $5~{\rm ab}^{-1}$ integrated luminosity if it has a mixing angle of at least $0.2$ with the Standard Model Higgs. This further strengthens the physics case for future $e^+e^-$ accelerators, like CEPC, CLIC, FCC-ee and ILC.

Searches for a charged Higgs boson ($H^\pm$) decaying to a charm quark and a bottom quark ($H^\pm \to cb$) have been carried out at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) in the decay of top quarks ($t\to H^\pm b$). In a recent search by the ATLAS collaboration (with all Run II data, 139 fb$^{-1}$) a local excess of around $3\sigma$ has been observed, which is best fitted by a charged Higgs boson with a mass ($m_{H^\pm}$) of around 130 GeV and a product of branching ratios (BRs) given by BR$(t\to H^\pm b)\times{\rm BR}(H^\pm\to cb)=0.16\%\pm 0.06\%$. In the context of Two-Higgs-Doublet Models (2HDM) with independent Yukawa couplings for $H^\pm$ we present the parameter space for which this excess (assuming it to be genuine) can be accommodated, taking into account the limits from LHC searches for $H^\pm\to cs$ and $H^\pm\to \tau\nu$ at $m_{H^\pm}$=130 GeV and the constraint from $b\to s\gamma$. It is then shown that such an excess cannot be explained in 2HDMs with natural flavour conservation, but can be accommodated in the flipped Three-Higgs-Doublet Model (3HDM) and in the aligned 2HDM (A2HDM). Upcoming searches with 139 fb$^{-1}$ in the channels $H^\pm\to cb$ (CMS), $H^\pm \to cs$ (ATLAS/CMS) and $H^\pm \to \tau\nu$ (ATLAS/CMS) will determine if the excess is the first sign of an $H^\pm$ with $m_{H^\pm}=130$ GeV.

The color mixing of mesons propagating in a nucleus is studied with the help of a color-octet Pomeron partner present in the two-gluon model of the Pomeron. For a simple model with four meson-nucleon channels, color mixings are found to be absent for pointlike mesons and very small for small mesons. These results seem to validate the absorption model with two independent color components used in recent analyses of the nuclear absorption of $J/\psi$ mesons produced in nuclear reactions.

Understanding axial charge dynamics driven by changes in Chern-Simons number densities is a key aspect in understanding the chiral magnetic effect (CME) in heavy-ion collisions. Most phenomenological simulations assume that a large amount of axial charge is produced in the initial stages and that axial charge is conserved throughout the simulation. Within an (expanding) homogeneous holographic plasma, we investigate the real-time axial charge relaxation dynamics and their impact on the chiral magnetic current. Moreover, we discuss the real-time interplay of the non-Abelian and the Abelian chiral anomaly in the presence of a strong magnetic field. In the expanding plasma, the Chern-Simons diffusion rate and thus the axial charge relaxation rate are time dependent due to the decaying magnetic field. We quantify the changes in the late time falloffs and establish a horizon formula for the chiral magnetic current.

We present an analysis of the global neutrino oscillation data in terms of four-neutrino mass schemes. We find that the strong preference of oscillations into active neutrinos implied by solar+KamLAND as well as atmospheric neutrino data allows to rule out (2+2) mass schemes, whereas (3+1) schemes are strongly disfavoured by short-baseline experiments. In addition, we perform an analysis using recent data from cosmology, including CMB data from WMAP and data from 2dFGRS large scale structure surveys. These data lead to further restrictions of the allowed regions for the (3+1) mass scheme.

A version of the $\mbox{SU(3)}_L\otimes \mbox{U(1)}_N$ electroweak theory in which there are right-handed neutrino currents is reconsidered in detail. We argue that in order to have a result consistent with low-energy one, the right-handed neutrino component must be treated as correction instead of an equivalent spin state. The data from the $Z$-decay allow us to fix the limit for $\phi$ as $-0.00285 \leq \phi \leq 0.00018$. From the neutrino neutral current scattering, we estimate a bound for the new neutral gauge boson $Z^2$ mass in the range of 400 GeV. A bound for the new charged and neutral (non-Hermitian) gauge bosons $Y^{\pm}, X^o$ is also obtained from symmetry-breaking hierarchy.

We propose a curvaton model in which the initial condition of the curvaton oscillation is determined by its attractor behavior during inflation. Assuming a chaotic inflation model, we find that the initial condition determined by the attractor behavior is appropriate to generate a sizable non-Gaussianity contribution to the curvature perturbation, which will be tested in the foreseeable future. Implications on the thermal history of the universe and on particle physics models are also discussed.

Statistical inference of the fundamental parameters of supersymmetric theories is a challenging and active endeavor. Several sophisticated algorithms have been employed to this end. While Markov-Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) and nested sampling techniques are geared towards Bayesian inference, they have also been used to estimate frequentist confidence intervals based on the profile likelihood ratio. We investigate the performance and appropriate configuration of MultiNest, a nested sampling based algorithm, when used for profile likelihood-based analyses both on toy models and on the parameter space of the Constrained MSSM. We find that while the standard configuration is appropriate for an accurate reconstruction of the Bayesian posterior, the profile likelihood is poorly approximated. We identify a more appropriate MultiNest configuration for profile likelihood analyses, which gives an excellent exploration of the profile likelihood (albeit at a larger computational cost), including the identification of the global maximum likelihood value. We conclude that with the appropriate configuration MultiNest is a suitable tool for profile likelihood studies, indicating previous claims to the contrary are not well founded.

We investigate some aspects of anomaly cancellation realized by the subtraction of an anomaly pole, stressing on some of its properties in superspace. In a local formulation these subtractions can be described in terms of a physical scalar, an axion and related ghosts. They appear to be necessary for the unitarization of the theory in the ultraviolet, but they may generate an infrared instability of the corresponding effective action, signalled by ghost condensation. In particular the subtraction of the superanomaly multiplet by a pole in superspace is of dubious significance, due to the different nature of the chiral and conformal anomalies. In turn, this may set more stringent constraints on the coupling of supersymmetric theories to gravity.

We consider the radiative corrections due to the tau-Yukawa, the neutrino-Yukawa and the slepton threshold corrections and discuss in what situation the maximal solar angle rotates towards the normal side. In this scheme, the |V_{13}| and the Dirac CP phase delta are induced radiatively and we estimate these values.

The gravity effects in the Bhabha scattering at the energy 1 TeV are estimated. The calculations are based on the analytical formula which describes virtual graviton contributions. It takes into account both a discrete character of the mass spectrum and nonzero widths of the KK gravitons.

We find that the process \bsg\ can lead to reasonable bounds on both the anomalous electric and magnetic dipole moments of the top-quark, while essentially no limits are obtained on the corresponding chromoelectric and chromomagnetic moments, which enter the expression for the decay rate only through operator mixing.

A strangeness and isospin asymmetry including statistical bootstrap model analysis of the multiparticle system produced in the Pb+Pb collision at 158 AGeV at CERN is presented.

Thermal photon emission is widely believed to reflect properties of the earliest, hottest evolution stage of the medium created in ultra-relativistic heavy-ion collisions. Previous computations of photon emission have been carried out using a hydrodynamical medium description with smooth, averaged initial conditions. Recently, more sophisticated hydrodynamical models which calculate observables by averaging over many evolutions with event-by-event fluctuating initial conditions (IC) have been developed. Given their direct connection to the early time dynamics, thermal photon emission appears an ideal observable to probe fluctuations in the medium initial state. In this work, we demonstrate that including fluctuations in the IC may lead to an enhancement of the thermal photon yield of about a factor of 2 in the region $2 < p_T < 4$ GeV/$c$ (where thermal photon production dominates the direct photon yield) compared to a scenario using smooth, averaged IC. Consequently, a much better agreement with PHENIX data is found. This can be understood in terms of the strong temperature dependence of thermal photon production, translating into a sensitivity to the presence of 'hotspots' in an event and thus establishing thermal photons as a suitable probe to characterize IC fluctuations.

We introduce a new efficient algorithm for phase space generation. A parton shower is used to distribute events across all of multiplicity, flavor, and phase space, and these events can then be reweighted to any desired analytic distribution. To verify this method, we reproduce the e+e- -> n jets tree-level result of traditional matrix element tools. We also show how to improve tree-level matrix elements automatically with leading-logarithmic resummation. This algorithm is particularly useful in the context of a new framework for event generation called GenEvA. In a companion paper [arXiv:0801.4026], we show how the GenEvA framework can address contemporary issues in event generation.

Flavour physics offers interesting probes for the exploration of the Standard Model and the search for new physics. In these lectures, we focus on B- and K-meson decays, introduce the concept of low-energy effective Hamiltonians to describe them theoretically, and discuss how physics beyond the Standard Model may generically affect the roadmap of quark-flavour physics. We address then both the implications of the B-factory data for the B_d -> J/psi K_S channel and the prospects of B_s -> J/psi phi modes for hadron colliders, and discuss how the Standard Model may be challenged through B_d -> phi K_S. Finally, as an example of a systematic flavour strategy to search for new physics, we analyze puzzling patterns in the B -> pi pi, pi K data and study their interplay with rare K and B decays.

We study the radiative and weak nonleptonic decays of vector B-mesons within the covariant confined quark model (CCQM) developed in our previous papers. First, we calculate the matrix elements and decays widths of the radiative decays $B^\ast\to B\gamma$. The obtained results are compared with those obtained in other approaches. Then we consider the nonleptonic decays $B^\ast\to D^\ast V$ which proceed via tree-level quark diagrams. It is shown that the analytical expressions for the amplitudes correspond to the factorization approach. In the framework of our model we calculate the leptonic decay constants and the form factors of the $B^\ast\to D^\ast(V)$ transitions in the entire physical region of the momentum transfer squared. Finally, we calculate the two-body decay widths and compare our results with other models.

We study symmetry restoration at finite temperature in the theory of a charged scalar field interacting with a constant, external magnetic field. We compute the finite temperature effective potential including the contribution from ring diagrams. We show that in the weak field case, the presence of the field produces a stronger first order phase transition and that the temperature for the onset of the transition is lower, as compared to the case without magnetic field.

In this work, we consider a class of dark matter (DM) models where the DM does not directly interact with the Standard Model (SM) particles at the tree-level. Therefore, the coannihilation mechanism is crucial in achieving the correct DM relic abundance, which in turn requires the coannihilating partner to be close in mass to the actual DM particle. In our systematisation of the models' class, the mediator and the coannihilation partner are assumed to be charged under QCD interactions. This last feature calls for a scrutiny of non-perturbative effects, namely Sommerfeld factors and bound-state formation, on the annihilations of the colored partner. Such non-perturbative effects are illustrated with an example model comprising a scalar leptoquark mediator, a Dirac vector-like fermion coannihilation partner, and a singlet DM fermion. Phenomenological features of this model, namely DM direct and indirect detection prospects, collider implications, and impact on the muon anomalous magnetic moment, are discussed.

By shining a hypermultiplet from one side of the bulk of a flat five-dimensional orbifold, supersymmetry can be broken by boundary conditions. The extra dimension is stabilized in a supersymmetric way, and by computing the four-dimensional effective potential for the radion it is shown that supersymmetry breaking does not damage our radius stabilization mechanism. The low energy theory contains the radion and two complex scalars that are massless in the global supersymmetric limit and are stabilized by tree level supergravity effects. It is shown that radion mediation can play the dominant role in communicating supersymmetry breaking to the visible sector. It is also shown that at tree level, contact terms are exponentially suppressed.

Faithful energy reconstruction is foundational for precision neutrino experiments like DUNE, but is hindered by uncertainties in our understanding of neutrino--nucleus interactions. Here, we demonstrate that dense neural networks are very effective in overcoming these uncertainties by estimating inaccessible kinematic variables based on the observable part of the final state. We find improvements in the energy resolution by up to a factor of two compared to conventional reconstruction algorithms, which translates into an improved physics performance equivalent to a 10-30% increase in the exposure.

Extending the concept of parton densities onto nonforward matrix elements <p'|O(0,z)|p> of quark and gluon light-cone operators, one can use two types of nonperturbative functions: double distributions (DDs) f(x,\alpha;t), F(x,y;t) and skewed (off&nonforward) parton distributions (SPDs) H(x,\xi;t), F_\zeta(X,t). We treat DDs as primary objects producing SPDs after integration. We emphasize the role of DDs in understanding interplay between X (x) and \zeta (\xi) dependences of SPDs.In particular, the use of DDs is crucial to secure the polynomiality condition: Nth moments of SPDs are Nth degree polynomials in the relevant skewedness parameter \zeta or \xi. We propose simple ansaetze for DDs having correct spectral and symmetry properties and derive model expressions for SPDs satisfying all known constraints. Finally, we argue that for small skewedness, one can obtain SPDs from the usual parton densities by averaging the latter with an appropriate weight over the region [X-\zeta,X] (or [x - \xi, x + \xi]).

In this paper, we investigate the inclusive diffractive hadroproduction for $\rm \eta_{c}$ and $\rm \eta_{b}$ at the LHC energies. Based on the NRQCD factorization formalism and the resolved-Pomeron model for the quarkonium production mechanism, we estimate the rapidity, momentum fraction loss dependence of the cross section. We give prediction ratios for single and central diffractive processes with respect to non diffractive process. These inclusive processes are sensitive to gluon content of Pomeron for small-$x$ and Reggeon for large-$x$, useful to study small and large-$x$ physics and good to test different mechanism for $\rm \eta_{c}$ and $\rm \eta_{b}$ production at the LHC. They also serve as the background to related exclusive processes thus should be predicted. Our results demonstrate that the Reggeon contribution of diffractive processes can be sizable, even sometimes dominant over Pomeron, and that its study can be useful to better constrain the Reggeon parton content. The experimental study of Reggeon can be carried out in certain kinematic windows.

Inspired by the recent observation of $e^+e^-\to \omega X(3872)$ by the BESIII Collaboration, in this work we study the production of the charmonium $\chi_{cJ}(2P)$ by $e^+e^-$ annihilation. We find that the $e^+e^-\to\omega\chi_{c0}(2P)$ and $e^+e^-\to \omega\chi_{c2}(2P)$ have sizable production rates, when taking the cross section data from $e^+e^-\to \omega X(3872)$ as the scaling point and treating the $X(3872)$ as the charmonium $\chi_{c1}(2P)$. Considering that the dominant decay modes of $\chi_{c0}$ and $\chi_{c2}(2P)$ involve $D\bar{D}$ final states, we propose that $e^+e^-\to \omega D\bar{D}$ is an ideal process to identify $\chi_{c0}(2P)$ and $\chi_{c2}(2P)$, which is similar to the situation that happens in the $D\bar{D}$ invariant mass spectrum of the $\gamma\gamma\to D\bar{D}$ and $B^+\to D^+{D}^- K^+$ processes. With continuous accumulation of experimental data, these proposed production processes offer a promising avenue for exploration by the BESIII and Belle II collaborations.

We calculate the contributions of the Kaluza-Klein (KK) modes to the gamma-penguins, gluon-penguins, gamma-magnetic penguins and chromomagnetic penguins in the Appelquist, Cheng and Dobrescu (ACD) model with one universal extra dimension. Together with our previous calculation of Z^0 penguin diagrams (See http://arxiv.org/abs/hep-ph/0212143) this allows to study the impact of the KK modes on the decays B -> X_s gamma, B -> X_s gluon, B -> X_s mu^+ mu^- and K_L -> pi^0 e^+ e^- and on the CP-violating ratio epsilon'/epsilon. For the compactification scale 1/R= 300 GeV the perturbative part of the branching ratio for B -> X_s mu^+ mu^- is enhanced by 12 % while the zero in the A_FB asymmetry is shifted from \hat s_0=0.162 to \hat s_0=0.142. The sizable suppressions of Br(B -> X_s gamma) ~ 20 % and Br(B -> X_s gluon) ~ 40 % could have interesting phenomenological implications on the lower bound on 1/R provided the experimental and theoretical uncertainties will be decreased. Similar comments apply to epsilon'/epsilon that is suppressed relative to the Standard Model expectations with the size of the suppression depending sensitively on the hadronic matrix elements. The impact on K_L -> pi^0 e^+ e^- is below 10 %. We point out a correlation between the zero \hat s_0 in the A_FB asymmetry and Br(B -> X_s gamma) that should be valid in most models with minimal flavour violation.

We propose a generalization of the Chern-Simon (CS) Lagrangian which is invariant under the SIM(2) transformations but not under the full Lorentz group. We study the effect of such a term on radiation propagating over cosmological distances. We find that the dominant effect of this term is to produce circular polarization as radiation propagates through space. We use the circular polarization data from distant radio sources in order to impose a limit on this term.

High temperature reduction of the SU(2) Higgs model is realised by partially integrating its partition function. Various approximate forms of the effective theory resulting from the integration over nonstatic fields and the static electric potential are analysed. Also non-polynomial and non-local terms are allowed. Consistency of the perturbative solution is ensured by new types of induced counterterms. Perturbative phase transition characteristics are presented in the Higgs mass range 30-120 GeV, and compared to results of other perturbative approaches.

We study the Odderon contribution to elastic pp and ppbar scattering at high energies. Different models for the Odderon-proton coupling are considered and their effects on the differential cross section in the dip region are investigated. We use a Regge fit by Donnachie and Landshoff as a framework and replace its Odderon contribution by the different models. We consider two models for the Odderon-proton impact factor proposed by Fukugita and Kwiecinski and by Levin and Ryskin. In addition we construct a geometric model of the proton which allows us to put limits on the size of a possible diquark cluster in the proton. All models are able to describe the data well. The two models for the impact factor require the strong coupling constant to be fixed rather precisely. In the geometric model a relatively small diquark size is required to describe the data.

We consider the sum of the Cornell, inverse quadratic, and harmonic-type potential as the potential part of the radial Schr\"{o}dinger equation. Analytical expressions for the energy eigenvalues and the radial wave function are presented. Application of the results for the heavy quarkonia and $B_c$ meson masses are good agreement with the current experimental data except for zero angular momentum quantum numbers. Numerical results for the temperature dependence indicates a different behaviour for different quantum numbers. Temperature-dependent results are in agreement with some QCD sum rule results from the ground states.

We will present a method to decide a priori whether various supersymmetrical scenarios can be distinguished based on sparticle mass data alone. For each model, a scan over all free SUSY breaking parameters reveals the extent of that model's physically allowed region of sparticle-mass-space. Based on the geometrical configuration of these regions in mass-space, it is possible to obtain an estimate of the required accuracy of future sparticle mass measurements to distinguish between the models. We will illustrate this algorithm with an example. This talk is based on work done in collaboration with B.C. Allanach (LAPTH, Annecy) and F. Quevedo (DAMTP, Cambridge).

We calculate the 2-loop contributions to the anomalous dimensions of the singlet and non-singlet operator matrix elements and the 2-loop coefficient functions of F_2, F_3 and F_L. We perform the inverse Mellin transformation analytically and find our results in agreement with earlier calculations in the literature by Zijlstra and van Neerven.

Hadronic phase and its dynamics in relativistic heavy-ion collisions are topics of immense discussion. In this respect, resonances can play an important role in determining the characteristics of the hadronic phase as they have sufficiently small lifetimes, which may be comparable to the hadronic phase lifetime. The resonances produced at the QCD phase boundary undergo re-scattering and regeneration processes within the hadronic medium. We use a 1+1D second-order viscous hydrodynamics for the evolution of hadronic medium to govern $K^*(892)^0$ kinematics. Hydrodynamics breaks down at the Knudsen number ($Kn$) limit: $Kn>1$, where the mean free path becomes sufficiently large compared to the system size and the particle yield gets preserved. Further, net yields of $K^*(892)^0$ \& $K$ are obtained at the kinetic freeze-out boundary, .i.e. $Kn>1$. In the current study, we predict hadronic phase lifetime and then the ratio of $K^*(892)^0/K$ is obtained, which qualitatively agrees with the experimental data as a function of the final state multiplicity.

We provide a set of benchmarks that are representative of model space, which can be used by experimentalists to perform their own optimization of search strategies.

Right-handed neutrinos offer an elegant solution to two well established phenomena beyond the Standard Model (SM) - masses and oscillations of neutrinos, as well as the baryon asymmetry of the Universe. It is also a minimalistic solution since it requires only singlet Majorana fermions to be added to the SM particle content. If these fermions are nearly degenerate, the mass scale of right-handed neutrinos can be very low and accessible by the present and planned experiments. There are at least two well studied mechanisms of the low-scale leptogenesis: baryogenesis via oscillations and resonant leptogenesis. These two mechanisms were often considered separate, but they can in fact be understood as two different regimes of one and the same mechanism, described by a unique set of quantum kinetic equations. In this work we show, using a unified description based on quantum kinetic equations, that the parameter space of these two regimes of low-scale leptogenesis significantly overlap. We present a comprehensive study of the parameter space of the low-scale leptogenesis with the mass scale ranging from $0.1$ GeV to $\sim 10^6$ GeV. The unified perspective of this work reveals the synergy between intensity and energy frontiers in the quest for heavy Majorana neutrinos.

We investigate fermion--anti-fermion production in 1+1 dimensional QED using real-time lattice techniques. In this non-perturbative approach the full quantum dynamics of fermions is included while the gauge field dynamics can be accurately represented by classical-statistical simulations for relevant field strengths. We compute the non-equilibrium time evolution of gauge invariant correlation functions implementing 'low-cost' Wilson fermions. Introducing a lattice generalization of the Dirac-Heisenberg-Wigner function, we recover the Schwinger formula in 1+1 dimensions in the limit of a static background field. We discuss the decay of the field due to the backreaction of the created fermion--anti-fermion pairs and apply the approach to strongly inhomogeneous gauge fields. The latter allows us to discuss the striking phenomenon of a linear rising potential building up between produced fermion bunches after the initial electric pulse ceased.

The chiral anomaly and the pion transition form factor: beyond the cutoff

In the presence of a momentum cutoff, effective theories seem unable to faithfully reproduce the so called chiral anomaly in the Standard Model. A novel prospect to overcome this related issue is discussed herein via the calculation of the $\gamma^{*}\pi^0\gamma$ transition form factor, $G^{\gamma^* \pi^0 \gamma}(Q^2)$, whose normalization is intimately connected with the chiral anomaly and dynamical chiral symmetry breaking (DCSB). To compute such transition, we employ contact interaction model of Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) under a modified rainbow ladder truncation, which automatically generates a quark anomalous magnetic moment term, weighted by a strenght parameter $\xi$. This term, whose origin is also connected with DCSB, is interpreted as an additional interaction that mimics the complex dynamics beyond the cutoff. By fixing $\xi$ to produce the value of $G^{\gamma^* \pi^0 \gamma}(0)$ dictated by the chiral anomaly, the computed transition form factor, as well as the interaction radius and neutral pion decay width, turn out to be comparable with QCD-based studies and experimental data.

A novel prospect to overcome this related issue is discussed herein via the calculation of the $\gamma^{*}\pi^0\gamma$ transition form factor, $G^{\gamma^* \pi^0 \gamma}(Q^2)$, whose normalization is intimately connected with the chiral anomaly and dynamical chiral symmetry breaking (DCSB). To compute such transition, we employ contact interaction model of Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) under a modified rainbow ladder truncation, which automatically generates a quark anomalous magnetic moment term, weighted by a strenght parameter $\xi$. This term, whose origin is also connected with DCSB, is interpreted as an additional interaction that mimics the complex dynamics beyond the cutoff. By fixing $\xi$ to produce the value of $G^{\gamma^* \pi^0 \gamma}(0)$ dictated by the chiral anomaly, the computed transition form factor, as well as the interaction radius and neutral pion decay width, turn out to be comparable with QCD-based studies and experimental data.

We simulate SU(2) gauge theory with two massless Dirac fermions in the adjoint representation. We calculate the running of the Schroedinger Functional coupling and the renormalised quark mass over a wide range of length scales. The running of the coupling is consistent with the existence of an infrared fixed point (IRFP), and we find 0.07 < gamma < 0.56 at the IRFP, depending on the value of the critical coupling.

We present the first complete simulation framework for the simulation of jet production in diffractive events at next-to leading order in QCD, matched to the parton shower. We validate the implementation in the SHERPA event generator with data from the H1 and ZEUS experiments for diffractive DIS and diffractive photoproduction. For the latter, we review different models aiming to explain the observed factorisation breaking and we argue that at NLO the direct component must also be suppressed. We provide predictions for diffractive jet production both in DIS and in photoproduction events for the upcoming EIC.

Dimuonium (the bound system of two muons, $\mu^+\mu^-$-atom) has not been observed yet. In this paper we discuss the electromagnetic production of dimuonium at RHIC and LHC in relativistic heavy ion collisions. The production of parastates is analyzed in the equivalent photon approximation. For the treatment of orthostates, we develop a three photon formalism. We determine the production rates at RHIC and LHC with an accuracy of a few percent and discuss problems related to the observation of dimuonium.

The one loop effective action in quantum field theory can be expressed as a quantum mechanical path integral over world lines, with internal symmetries represented by Grassmanian variables. In this paper, we develop a real time, many body, world line formalism for the one loop effective action. In particular, we study hot QCD and obtain the classical transport equations which, as Litim and Manuel have shown, reduce in the appropriate limit to the non-Abelian Boltzmann-Langevin equation first obtained by B\"{o}deker. In the Vlasov limit, the classical kinetic equations are those that correspond to the hard thermal loop effective action. We also discuss the imaginary time world line formalism for a hot $\phi^4$ theory, and elucidate its relation to classical transport theory.

The gauge/string-gravity duality correspondence opened renewed hope and possibility to address some of the fundamental and non-perturbative QCD problems in particle physics, such as hadron spectrum and Regge behavior of the scattering amplitude at high energies. One of the most fundamental and long-standing problem is the high energy behavior of total cross-sections. According to a series of exhaustive tests by the COMPETE group, (1). total cross-sections have a universal Heisenberg behavior in energy corresponding to the maximal energy behavior allowed by the Froissart bound, i.e., $A + B ln^2 (s/s_0)$ with $B \sim 0.32 mb$ and $s_0 \sim 34.41 GeV^2$ for all reactions, and (2). the factorization relation among $\sigma_{pp, even}, \sigma_{\gamma p}, and \sigma_{\gamma \gamma}$ is well satisfied by experiments. I discuss the recent interesting application of the gauge/string-gravity duality of $AdS/CFT$ correspondence with a deformed background metric so as to break the conformal symmetry that can lead to the Heisenberg behavior of rising total cross-sections, and present some preliminary results on the high energy QCD from Planckian scattering in $AdS$ and black-hole production.

We derive a model-independent integral formula for chiral susceptibility and attempt to present a continuum model study of it within the framework of Dyson-Schwinger Equations. An appropriate regularization is implemented to remove the temperature-independent quadratic divergence inherent in this quantity. While it demonstrates a second-order phase transition characteristic in the chiral limit, the result obtained supports a crossover at physical current quark masses, which is in good agreement with recent lattice studies.

We propose the lepton-jet correlation in deep inelastic scattering as a unique tool for nucleon/nucleus tomography at the electron-ion collider. The azimuthal angular correlation between the final state lepton and jet depends on the transverse momentum dependent quark distributions. We take the example of single transverse spin asymmetries to show the sensitivity to the quark Sivers function. When the correlation is studied in lepton-nucleus collisions, transverse momentum broadening effects can be used to explore cold nuclear matter effects. These features make lepton-jet correlations an important new hard probe at the EIC.

We review a physical content of the two simplest models of reggeon field theory: namely the eikonal and the Schwimmer models. The AGK cutting rules are used to obtain the inclusive, the inelastic and the diffractive cross sections. The system of nonlinear equations for these cross sections is written down and analytic expressions for its solution are obtained. We derive the rapidity gap dependence of the differential cross sections for diffractive dissociation in the Schwimmer model and in its eikonalized extension. The results are interpreted from the partonic viewpoint of the interaction at high energies.

We present the comaprative study of semileptonic and leptonic decays of D_{s},D^{\pm} and D^0 meson (D\rightarrowM l_{{\alpha}}^+l_{{\beta}}^-,D\rightarrowl_{{\alpha}}^+l_{{\beta}}^-,D\rightarrowl_{{\alpha}}^+v_{{\alpha}};{\alpha},{\beta}=e,{\mu}) within the framework of R-parity violating (R_{p}) Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM). The comparison shows that combination and product couplings ({\lambda}_{{\beta}i{\alpha}}{\lambda}_{ijq}^{'\ast} or {\lambda}_{{\beta}qk}'{\lambda}_{{\alpha}jk}^{'\ast}) contribution to the branching fractions of the said processes rocesses(under consideration) is consistent or comparable to the experimental measurements in most of the cases. However, there exists some cases, where these contributions are suppressed but still comparable to that of standard model.

We consider an MSSM extension with anomaly mediation as the source of supersymmetry-breaking, and a U(1) symmetry which solves the tachyonic slepton problem, and introduces both the see-saw mechanism for neutrino masses, and the Higgs mu-term. We compare its spectra with those from so-called minimal anomaly mediated supersymmetry breaking. We find a Standard Model-like Higgs of mass 125 GeV with a gravitino mass of 140 TeV and tan(beta)=16. However, the muon anomalous magnetic moment is 3 sigma away from the experimental value. The model naturally produces a period of hybrid inflation, which can exit to a false vacuum characterised by large Higgs vevs, reaching the true ground state after a period of thermal inflation. The scalar spectral index is reduced to approximately 0.975, and the correct abundance of neutralino dark matter can be produced by decays of thermally-produced gravitinos, provided the gravitino mass (and hence the Higgs mass) is high. Naturally light cosmic strings are produced, satisfying bounds from the Cosmic Microwave Background. The complementary pulsar timing and cosmic ray bounds require that strings decay primarily via loops into gravitational waves. Unless the loops are extremely small, the next generation pulsar timing array will rule out or detect the string-derived gravitational radiation background in this model.

We consider three-loop radiative-recoil corrections to hyperfine splitting in muonium generated by the gauge invariant set of diagrams with virtual light-by-light scattering block. These corrections are enhanced by the large logarithms of the electron-muon mass ratio. We present the results of an analytic calculation of the single-logarithmic radiative-recoil corrections of order $\alpha^2(Z\alpha)(m/M)E_F$ to hyperfine splitting in muonium generated by these diagrams.

The energy dependence of the total hadronic cross sections is caused by gluon bremsstrahlung which we treat nonperturbatively. It is located at small transverse distances about 0.3 fm from the valence quarks. The cross section of gluon radiation is predicted to exponentiate and rise with energy as s^{\Delta} with \Delta=0.17 +/- 0.01. The total cross section also includes a large energy independent Born term which corresponds to no gluon radiation. The calculated total cross section and the slope of elastic scattering are in good agreement with the data.

Pion exchange in S-wave between hadrons that are themselves in a relative S-wave can shift energies by hundreds of MeV. In the case of charmed mesons $D,D^*,D_0,D_1$ a spectroscopy of quasi-molecular states may arise consistent with enigmatic charmonium states observed above 4 GeV in $e^+e^-$ annihilation. A possible explanation of $Y(4260)\to \psi\pi\pi$ and $Y(4360) \to \psi'\pi\pi$ is found. Searches in $D\bar{D}3\pi$ channels as well as B decays are recommended to test this hypothesis.

We present an improved calculation of the $D_{(s)}^*D_{(s)}V$ and $B_{(s)}^*B_{(s)}V$ coupling constants, where $V$ denotes $\rho$, $K^\ast$, $\omega$, and $\phi$ meson. These couplings govern the QCD long-distance dynamics in interactions between heavy pseudoscalar/vector mesons and light vector mesons. Our analysis is conducted within the framework of QCD light-cone sum rules (LCSRs) by utilizing the light-cone distribution amplitudes (LCDAs) of light vector mesons. By systematically incorporating the subleading power corrections and higher-twist contributions at leading order (LO) and including the next-to-leading order (NLO) corrections at leading power, we achieve enhanced accuracy in the light-cone operator product expansion (OPE) for the underlying correlation function. In assessing the reliability of the established LCSRs, we consider uncertainties arising from the choice of the quark-hadron duality region in the double dispersion relation. Building upon these improvements, we accomplish an optimized computation and analysis for the strong coupling constants $g_{H^\ast HV}$ which are used to extract the effective coupling $\lambda$ in the heavy meson chiral perturbation theory (HM$\chi$PT). Furthermore, we investigate the $SU(3)$ flavour symmetry breaking effects in detail and compare our sum rule calculations with previous studies in an exploratory way.

We discuss a model of dark matter consisting of high energy anti-electron-neutrinos with leptonic force, which is produced by the conserved leptonic charge $g_\ell$ associated with Lee-Yang's $U_1$ gauge symmetry. Based on particle-cosmology for early universe, the high energy neutrino (HEN) model of dark matter assumes that the neutron decay processes, $n\to p^+ + e^- +\ov{\nu}_e$, dominate the epoch after the creation, collision and confinement processes of quarks and antiquarks in the beginning. The HEN model implies the following results: There are almost equal numbers of electrons, protons and anti-electron-neutrinos dominated the matter cosmos. There are unobservable and ubiquitous anti-electron-neutrinos $\ov{\nu}_e$ with leptonic charge $g_\ell$ in the universe. Although the total mass of anti-electron-neutrino dark matter is negligible in the universe, its enhanced gravitational and leptonic forces could lead to the observed flat rotation curves due to relativistic $\ov{\nu}_e$, whose static force involves a factor $E_\nu/m_\nu\approx 10^6$. We estimate the leptonic charge to be $g_\ell \approx 7 \times 10^{-21}$. The model predicts that the anti-electron-neutrino dark matter can interact with cosmic-ray protons to produce positrons, i.e. $\ov{\nu}_e + p^+ \to e^+ +n$, through weak interaction of the unified electroweak theory. The anti-electron-neutrino dark matter sheds light on the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer (AMS) experiment, which has detected the intriguing excess of cosmic-ray positrons over what is expected. The HEN model of dark matter suggests an experimental test of the new Lee-Yang force between electrons by using modern precision Cavendish experiment.

We employ an effective weak Hamiltonian that takes into account the next-to-leading order corrections from QCD to the weak interactions at the quark level. Using the gradient expansion, we derive the leading-order effective weak chiral Lagrangian with the low-energy constants determined. The effective weak chiral Lagrangian is incorporated in the chiral quark-soliton model to calculate the parity-violating $\pi NN$ constant $h^1_{\pi NN}$. We obtain a value of about $10^{-7}$ at the leading order. The corrections from the next-to-leading order reduce the leading order result by about 20~\%.

It leads to order of magnitude relations between quark mass ratios and mixing angles and to the successful exact relation $\sin \theta_C=\sqrt {m_d\over m_s}$ to better than $20\%$ accuracy. The non-Abelian symmetry also ensures the necessary squark degeneracy to suppress FCNC mediated by loops with squarks and gluinos, in the neutral meson systems.

The lowest order pomeron loop is calculated for the leading conformal weight with full dependence of the triple pomeron vertex on intermediate conformal weights. The loop is found to be convergent. Its contribution to the pomeron Green function begins to dominate already at rapidities 10$\div$15. The pomeron pole renormalization is found to be quite small due to a rapid fall of the triple pomeron vertex with rising conformal weights.

We construct composite Higgs models admitting a weakly coupled Seiberg dual description. We focus on the possibility that only the up-type Higgs is an elementary field, while the down-type Higgs arises as a composite hadron. The model, based on a confining SQCD theory, breaks supersymmetry and electroweak symmetry dynamically and calculably. This simultaneously solves the \mu/B_\mu problem and explains the smallness of the bottom and tau masses compared to the top mass. The proposal is then applied to a class of models where the same confining dynamics is used to generate the Standard Model flavor hierarchy by quark and lepton compositeness. This provides a unified framework for flavor, supersymmetry breaking and electroweak physics. The weakly coupled dual is used to explicitly compute the MSSM parameters in terms of a few microscopic couplings, giving interesting relations between the electroweak and soft parameters. The RG evolution down to the TeV scale is obtained and salient phenomenological predictions of this class of "single-sector" models are discussed.
