accepted for publication in Phys. Rev. D | null | 10.1103/PhysRevD.90.073005 | null | hep-ph hep-ex | http://arxiv.org/licenses/nonexclusive-distrib/1.0/ | We point out that the observed neutrino mixing pattern at low energies is
very likely to originate from the 3 times 3 lepton flavor mixing matrix U which
possesses the exact mu-tau permutation symmetry |U_{mu i}| = |U_{tau i}| (for
i=1,2,3) at a superhigh energy scale Lambda_{mu tau} \sim 10^{14} GeV. The
deviation of theta_{23} from 45^\circ and that of delta from 270^\circ in the
standard parametrization of U are therefore a natural consequence of small
mu-tau symmetry breaking via the renormalization-group equations (RGEs) running
from Lambda_{mu tau} down to the electroweak scale Lambda_{EW} \sim 10^2 GeV.
In fitting current experimental data we find that the RGE-corrected value of
theta_{23} is uniquely correlated with the neutrino mass ordering: theta_{23}
\simeq 42.4^\circ reported by Capozzi et al (or theta_{23} \simeq 48.9^\circ
reported by Forero et al) at Lambda_{EW} can arise from theta_{23} = 45^\circ
at Lambda_{mu tau} in the minimal supersymmetric standard model if the neutrino
mass ordering is inverted (or normal). Accordingly, the preliminary best-fit
results of delta at Lambda_{EW} can also evolve from delta = 270^\circ at
Lambda_{mu tau} no matter whether the massive neutrinos are Dirac or Majorana
particles.

relevant experimental data including the GCE taking into account the systematic
uncertainties. We find that the CMSSM is able to account for the GCE and
maintain agreement with the other experimental searches, providing the first
example that the GCE can be explained in the framework of universal
supersymmetry. We map out the region compatible at 2 sigma and comment on its
phenomenology. We find that for the CMSSM to explain the GCE the solution must
lie close to the existing limits from LUX, IceCube and the LHC. We show that
this provides definite predictions for Run 2 of the LHC, Xenon-1T and future
observation with IceCube. Thus there exists the exciting possibility that the
CMSSM could be observed in four distinct experimental channels over the next
few years, which would be a striking signature for universal supersymmetry.

Considering the high temperature effects, we see that the Affleck-Dine field is
naturally deformed into the form of the Q ball. In the natural scenario where
the initial amplitude of the field and the A-terms are both determined by the
nonrenormalizable superpotential, we obtain only very a narrow allowed region
in the parameter space in order to explain the baryon number of the universe
for the case that the Q-ball formation occurs just after baryon number
production. Moreover, most of the parameter sets suited have already been
excluded by current experiments. We also find new situations in which the
Q-ball formation takes place rather late compared with baryon number creation.
This situation is more preferable, since it allows a wider parameter region for
naturally consistent scenarios, although it is still difficult to realize in
the actual cosmological scenario.

observed by satellite-based telescopes including PAMELA and AMS-02, in dark
matter (DM) scenarios. The novelty behind the proposal is that it makes direct
use of DM around the Galactic Center where DM populates most densely, allowing
us to avoid tensions from cosmological and astrophysical measurements. The key
ingredients of this mechanism include DM annihilation into unstable states with
a very long laboratory-frame life time and their "retarded" decay near the
Earth to electron-positron pair(s) possibly with other (in)visible particles.
We argue that this sort of explanation is not in conflict with relevant
constraints from big bang nucleosynthesis and cosmic microwave background.
Regarding the resultant positron spectrum, we provide a generalized source term
in the associated diffusion equation, which can be readily applicable to any
type of two-"stage" DM scenarios wherein production of Standard Model particles
occurs at completely different places from those of DM annihilation. We then
conduct a data analysis with the recent AMS-02 data to validate our proposal.

agrees with the data in the following two domains: (a) xi > 0.03 at all t, (b)
|t| > 1 GeV^2 at all xi. Since the triple-Regge parametrization fails when
applied to the full xi-t range of the total single-diffractive cross section,
we conclude that damping occurs only at low-xi and low-|t|. We give a (``toy'')
parametrization of the damping factor, D(xi), valid at low-|t|, which describes
the diffractive differential cross-section (dsig/dt) data at the ISR and
roughly accounts for the observed s-dependence of diffractive total
cross-section up to Tevatron energies. However, an effective damping factor
calculated for the CDF fitted function for dsig/dxidt at sqrt(s} = 1800 GeV and
|t| = 0.05 GeV^2, suggests that, at fixed-xi, damping increases as s increases.
We conjecture that, in the regions where the triple-Regge formalism describes
the data and there is no evidence of damping, factorization is valid and the
Pomeron-flux-factor may be universal. With the assumption that the observed
damping is due to multi-Pomeron exchange, our results imply that the recent UA8
demonstration that the effective Pomeron trajectory flattens for |t| > 1 GeV$^2
is evidence for the onset of the perturbative 2-gluon pomeron. Our damping
results may also shed some light on the self-consistency of recent measurements

arise from "supersoft" operators that lead to finite one-loop suppressed
contributions to the scalar masses. A little hierarchy between the Dirac gluino
mass 5 - 10 times heavier than the squark masses is automatic and technically
natural, in stark contrast to supersymmetric models with Majorana gaugino
masses. At the LHC, colored sparticle production is suppressed not only by the
absence of gluino pair (or associated) production, but also because several of
the largest squark pair production channels are suppressed or absent. We recast
the null results from the present jets plus missing energy searches at LHC for
supersymmetry onto a supersoft supersymmetric simplified model (SSSM). Assuming
a massless LSP, we find the strongest bounds are: 748 GeV from a 2j + MET
search at ATLAS (4.7 fb^{-1}), and 684 GeV from a combined jets plus missing
energy search using $\alpha_T$ at CMS (1.1 fb^{-1}). In the absence of a future
observation, we estimate the bounds on the squark masses to improve only
modestly with increased luminosity. We also briefly consider the further
weakening in the bounds as the LSP mass is increased.

of the Standard Model (SM) is one of greatest mysteries currently facing
particle physics, and addressing these issues should provide some understanding
of how the observed relic abundance was produced. One widely considered
production mechanism, a weakly interacting massive particle (WIMP) produced as
a thermal relic, provides a target cross section for DM annihilation into SM
particles by solving the Boltzmann equation. In this thermal freeze-out
mechanism, dark matter is produced in thermal equilibrium with the SM in the
early universe, and drops out of equilibrium to its observed abundance as the
universe cools and expands. In this paper, we study the impact of a generalized
thermodynamics, known as Tsallis statistics and governed by a parameter $q$, on
the target DM annihilation cross section. We derive the phase space
distributions of particles in this generalized statistical framework, and check
their thermodynamic consistency, as well as analyzing the impact of this
generalization on the collisional term of the Boltzmann equation. We consider
the case of an initial value of $q_0>1$, with $q$ relaxing to 1 as the universe
expands and cools, and solve the generalized Boltzmann numerically for several
benchmark DM masses, finding the corresponding target annihilation cross
sections as a function of $q_0$. We find that as $q$ departs from the standard
thermodynamic case of $q=1$, the collisional term falls less slowly as a
function of $x = m_\chi/T$ than expected in the standard case. We also find
that the target cross section falls sharply from $\sigma v \simeq

existence of light sterile neutrinos can affect these flavor ratios. We
consider two scenarios: (i) neutrino production in conventional astrophysical
sources, followed by partial oscillation into sterile states; (ii) neutrinos
from dark matter decay with a primary flavor composition enhanced in tau
neutrinos or sterile neutrinos. Throughout the paper, we constrain the sterile
neutrino mixing parameters from a full global fit to short and long baseline
data. We present our results in the form of flavor triangles and, for scenario
(ii), as exclusion limits on the dark matter mass and lifetime, derived from a
fit to IceCube high energy starting events and through-going muons. We argue
that identifying a possible flux of neutrinos from dark matter decay may
require analyzing the flavor composition as a function of neutrino energy.

radiation in the BDMPS-Z regime, that is, short formation times \tau_f << L and
relatively large emission angles \theta >>\theta_c = 2/\sqrt{\hat q L^3}, with
\hat q the `jet quenching' parameter. We demonstrate that, for a dipole opening
angle \theta_{q\bar q} larger than \theta_c, the interference between the
medium-induced gluon emissions by the quark and the antiquark is parametrically
suppressed with respect to the corresponding direct emissions. Physically, this
is so since the direct emissions can be delocalized anywhere throughout the
medium and thus yield contributions proportional to L. On the contrary, the
interference occurs only between gluons emitted at very early times, within the
characteristic time scales for quantum and color coherence between the two
emitters, which in this regime are much smaller than L. This implies that, for
\theta_{q\bar q} >> \theta_c, the medium-induced radiation by the dipole is
simply the sum of the two BDMPS-Z spectra individually produced by the quark

Inversely, one can obtain accurate dependence of critical temperature on
density: one important consequence is that high density (solid) He cannot be a
BEC state of He atoms, with upper density accurately matching the observations.
We then use this model for the deconfinement phase transition of QCD-like gauge

Feynman-like approach without interaction, estimating the monopole mass at
$T_c$. Then we include monopole's Coulomb repulsion, and formulate a relation

freeze-out takes place out of chemical equilibrium and dark matter

high energies, after breaking of flavor symmetry, by a complex vacuum
expectation value of $A_{4}$-triplet and gauge singlet scalar field. And,
certain effective dimension-5 operators are introduced in the quark Lagrangian
as an equal footing, which lead the quark mixing matrix to the
Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa (CKM) one in the form, while the lepton Lagrangian is
renormalizable, which gives rise to a non-degenerate Dirac neutrino Yukawa
matrix and an unique CP-phase, and which in turn explains the non-zero value of
$\theta_{13}\simeq9^{\circ}$ and two large mixing angles $\theta_{12},
\theta_{23}$. We show that the spontaneously generated CP phase "$\xi$" could
become a natural source of leptogenesis as well as CP violations in the CKM and
Pontecorvo-Maki-Nakagawa-Sakata (PMNS). Moreover, we provide a solution for the
strong CP problem. Interestingly enough, we show that, for around
$\xi\simeq120^{\circ}$, the quarks lead to the correct CKM CP-phase
corresponding to $\delta^{q}_{CP}\simeq67^{\circ}$, while the leptons with the
measured value of $\theta_{13}$ favor $\delta_{CP}=$,
$|\theta_{23}-45^{\circ}|\rightarrow0$ for normal mass hierarchy and
$\delta_{CP}=$, $|\theta_{23}-45^{\circ}|\rightarrow5^{\circ}$ for inverted

calculation of the Higgs boson production cross section via gluon fusion. These
uncertainties were found to be dominant in the case of off-shell Higgs
production at next-to-leading order in QCD for large values of the Higgs
virtuality $m_H^*$. In this work, we study the uncertainties related to the
top-quark mass definition up to next-to-next-to-leading order (NNLO) in QCD. We
include the full top-quark mass dependence up to three loops in the virtual
corrections, and evaluate the real contributions in the soft limit, therefore
obtaining the so-called soft-virtual (SV) approximation. We construct NNLO-SV
predictions for off-shell Higgs boson production renormalizing the top-quark
mass within both the on-shell (OS) and the MSbar schemes, and study in detail
the differences between them. While the differences between the two schemes are
sizeable, we find that the predictions are always compatible within scale
uncertainties. We also observe that the difference between renormalization
schemes is largely reduced when increasing the order of the perturbative
expansion. We analyze the quality of the convergence of the perturbative series
in both schemes, and find that at large invariant masses the MSbar results
present much larger corrections than their OS counterparts. We also comment on
the more complicated case of Higgs boson pair production.

] | Bilinear R-parity violation provides an attractive origin for neutrino masses and mixings. In such schemes the gravitino is a viable decaying dark matter particle whose R-parity violating decays lead to monochromatic photons with rates accessible to astrophysical observations. We determine the parameter region allowed by gamma-ray line searches, dark matter relic abundance and neutrino oscillation data, obtaining a limit on the gravitino mass $m_{\tilde G} \lsim$ 1-10 GeV corresponding to a relatively low reheat temperature $T_R \lsim$ few $\times 10^7-10^8$ GeV. Neutrino mass and mixing parameters may be reconstructed at accelerator experiments like the Large Hadron Collider. |
