and associated production of the neutral scalars H^0/A^0. We restrict ourselves
to the so-called negative scenario characterized by the mass order
M_{H^{\pm\pm}}>M_{H^\pm}>M_{H^0/A^0}, in which the H^0/A^0 production receives
significant enhancement from cascade decays of the charged scalars
H^{\pm\pm},~H^\pm. We consider three important signal
channels---b\bar{b}\gamma\gamma, b\bar{b}\tau^+\tau^-,
$b\bar{b}\ell^+\ell^-\cancel{E}_T$---and perform detailed simulations. We find
that at the 14 TeV LHC with an integrated luminosity of 3000/fb, a 5\sigma mass
reach of 151, 150, and 180 GeV, respectively, is possible in the three channels
from the pure Drell-Yan H^0A^0 production, while the cascade-decay-enhanced
H^0/A^0 production can push the mass limit further to 164, 177, and 200 GeV.
The neutral scalars in the negative scenario are thus accessible at LHC run II.

(where we expect viscous hydrodynamics to work well). If we consider the

formulas, which are needed at various stages of a typical experimental analysis
in collider phenomenology. As a first application, we consider kinematic
variables like the stransverse mass, $M_{T2}$, which are defined
algorithmically through an optimization procedure and not in terms of an
analytical formula. We then train a symbolic regression and obtain the correct
analytical expressions for all known special cases of $M_{T2}$ in the
literature. As a second application, we reproduce the correct analytical
expression for a next-to-leading order (NLO) kinematic distribution from data,
which is simulated with a NLO event generator. Finally, we derive analytical
approximations for the NLO kinematic distributions after detector simulation,
for which no known analytical formulas currently exist.

around MeV Energies'' in NOW2006. Contrary to the naive expectation, the field
is found to be very active in improving the performance of existing detectors,
and in preparation for the development coming in the near future. The former
includes excellent performance of SNO 3He detector, successful reconstruction
of SK III, and KamLAND's new ``4pi'' calibration. The next data release from
these experiments will be very exciting. The latter includes effort for
lowering threshold in SK III, KamLAND's purification by which geo-neutrino
observation becomes much cleaner, and the forthcoming 7Be neutrino measurement
by BOREXINO and KamLAND. Possible detection of relic supernova neutrinos and
non-zero effect of theta_{13} would bring us great excitement. Furthermore,
improved new measurement of heavy element abundance in the solar atmosphere
resulted in a solar model with much lower CNO \nu flux and with disagreement
with helioseismology, thereby bringing us a new solar puzzle.

based quark-diagrammatic approach is that no assumptions regarding relative
sizes of topological decay amplitudes need to be made. As a result, this method
avoids an uncontrollable theoretical uncertainty that is related to the neglect
of some topological diagrams (e.g., exchange and annihilation graphs) in the
SU(3) approach. Application of the U-spin approach to the current data yields:
gamma=54^{+12}_{-11} degrees. We find that improved measurements of phi pi+/-

baryon resonances. They can be probed in high-momentum-transfer exclusive
electroproduction processes with resonance transitions $e + N \rightarrow e' +
M + N^\ast$, such as deeply-virtual Compton scattering ($M = \gamma$) or meson
production ($M = \pi, K$, $etc.$), and in related photon/hadron-induced

baryon resonance structure with transition GPDs. This includes the properties
and interpretation of the transition GPDs, theoretical methods for structures
and processes, first experimental results from JLab 12 GeV, future measurements
with existing and planned facilities (JLab detector and energy upgrades,

] | QCD gives rise to a rich spectrum of excited baryon states. Understanding their internal structure is important for many areas of nuclear physics, such as nuclear forces, dense matter, and neutrino-nucleus interactions.

They are used to create 3D tomographic images of the quark/gluon structure and quantify the mechanical properties such as the distribution of mass, angular momentum and forces in the system. Transition GPDs extend these concepts to $N \rightarrow N^\ast$ transitions and can be used to characterize the 3D structure and mechanical properties of baryon resonances.

the particle production including the possible enhancement due to a large

couplings has important consequences for the physical phenomena taking place at
the Fermi scale. We analyze some of these implications in the most motivated
frameworks for physics at that energies - supersymmetry, models of a composite
Higgs boson, and the Standard Model itself. At the same time, precision
experiments in flavour physics require a highly non-generic structure of
flavour and CP transitions. In any model of electroweak symmetry breaking with
a relatively low scale of new phenomena, as motivated by naturalness, some
mechanism has to be found in order to keep unwanted flavour effects under
control. We devote particular attention to the consequences of the approximate
U(2)^3 symmetry exhibited by the quarks of the Standard Model. The combined
analysis of the indirect constraints from flavour, Higgs and electroweak
physics will allow us to outline a picture of some most natural models of
physics near the Fermi scale. Although non trivially, a few models emerge that
look capable of accommodating a 125 GeV Higgs boson, consistently with all the
other constraints, with new particles in an interesting range for discovery at
the LHC, as well as associated flavour signals. This is particularly
interesting in view of the forthcoming improvements in the direct experimental
investigation of that energies. Finally, the measurement of the last parameter
of the Standard Model - the Higgs quartic coupling - has important consequences
even if no new physics is present close to the Fermi scale: its near-critical
value, which puts the electroweak vacuum in a metastable state close to a phase
transition, may have an interesting connection with Planck-scale physics. We
derive the bound for electroweak vacuum stability with full two-loop precision,
and explore some possible implication of near-criticality.

] | The rather precise knowledge of the mass of the Higgs boson and of its couplings has important consequences for the physical phenomena taking place at the Fermi scale. We analyze some of these implications in the most motivated frameworks for physics at that energies - supersymmetry, models of a composite Higgs boson, and the Standard Model itself. At the same time, precision experiments in flavour physics require a highly non-generic structure of flavour and CP transitions. In any model of electroweak symmetry breaking with a relatively low scale of new phenomena, as motivated by naturalness, some mechanism has to be found in order to keep unwanted flavour effects under control. We devote particular attention to the consequences of the approximate U(2)^3 symmetry exhibited by the quarks of the Standard Model. The combined analysis of the indirect constraints from flavour, Higgs and electroweak physics will allow us to outline a picture of some most natural models of physics near the Fermi scale. Although non trivially, a few models emerge that look capable of accommodating a 125 GeV Higgs boson, consistently with all the other constraints, with new particles in an interesting range for discovery at the LHC, as well as associated flavour signals. This is particularly interesting in view of the forthcoming improvements in the direct experimental investigation of that energies. Finally, the measurement of the last parameter of the Standard Model - the Higgs quartic coupling - has important consequences even if no new physics is present close to the Fermi scale: its near-critical value, which puts the electroweak vacuum in a metastable state close to a phase transition, may have an interesting connection with Planck-scale physics. We derive the bound for electroweak vacuum stability with full two-loop precision, and explore some possible implication of near-criticality. |

observed by Fermi-LAT $\gamma$-ray space telescope. It is based on the model
recently proposed by Weinberg. In our scenario the gamma-ray line signal comes
from the fermionic dark matter ($M_{\rm DM}=214 $ GeV) annihilating into two
light scalars with mass around 500 MeV which in turn decay into two neutral
pions. Finally the pions can decay into two 130 GeV photons. The strong
constraint from the direct detection leaves only the channel of the dark matter
annihilation into two light scalars for both the relic density and the
Fermi-LAT gamma-ray line signal. The resulting gamma-ray spectrum is rather
broad and does not fit to the data perfectly, but the data also show there may
be fluctuation in the spectrum. There is no associated $Z$-boson or Higgs boson
production contrary to most other works where the signal comes from the loops
of charged particles. The annihilation into the other SM particles are highly
suppressed due to the small mixing from the direct detection. Future
experiments with more data will give more clues on the possible scenarios.

meson and diquark fields and it is given the Beth-Uhlenbeck form. This allows a
detailed discussion of bound state dissociation in hot, dense matter (Mott
effect) in terms of the in-medium scattering phase shift of two-particle
correlations. It is shown for the case without meson-diquark mixing that the
phase shift can be separated into a continuum and a resonance part. In the
latter, the Mott transition manifests itself by a change of the phase shift at
threshold by \pi\ in accordance with Levinson's theorem, when a bound state
transforms to a resonance in the scattering continuum. The consequences for the
contribution of pionic correlations to the pressure are discussed by evaluating
the Beth-Uhlenbeck equation of state in different approximations. A similar
discussion is performed for the scalar diquark channel in the normal phase.
Further developments and applications of the developed approach are outlined.

] | An important first step in the program of hadronization of chiral quark models is the bosonization in meson and diquark channels. This procedure is presented at finite temperatures and chemical potentials for the SU(2) flavor case of the NJL model with special emphasis on the mixing between scalar meson and scalar diquark modes which occurs in the 2SC color superconducting phase. The thermodynamic potential is obtained in the gaussian approximation for the meson and diquark fields and it is given the Beth-Uhlenbeck form. This allows a detailed discussion of bound state dissociation in hot, dense matter (Mott effect) in terms of the in-medium scattering phase shift of two-particle correlations.

uncertainties associated with the modelling of extra QCD radiation in ttbb
events, in this paper we present a calculation of pp->ttbbj at NLO QCD. The
behaviour of NLO corrections is analysed in a variety of observables, and to
assess theoretical uncertainties we use factor-two rescalings as well as
different dynamic scales. In this context, we propose a systematic alignment of
dynamic scales that makes it possible to disentangle normalisation and shape
uncertainties in a transparent way. Scale uncertainties at NLO are typically at
the level of 20-30% in fiducial cross sections, and below 10% for the shapes of
distributions. The kinematics of QCD radiation is investigated in detail,
including the effects of its recoil on the objects of the ttbb system. In
particular, we discuss various azimuthal correlations that allow one to
charaterise the QCD recoil pattern in a precise and transparent way. In
general, the calculation at hand provides a variety of precise benchmarks that
can be used to validate the modelling of QCD radiation in ttbb generators.
Moreover, as we will argue, pp->ttbbj at NLO entails information that can be
used to gain insights into the perturbative convergence of the inclusive ttbb
cross section beyond NLO. Based on this idea, we address the issue of the large
NLO K-factor observed in the ttbb cross section, and we provide evidence that
supports the reduction of this K-factor through a mild adjustment of the QCD
scales that are conventionally used for this process. The presented 2->5 NLO

as compared to their ground state allows us to constrain the scattering cross
sections between the bottomonia and the comovers created during the collisions.
Our result hints at a similar energy distribution of these comovers in the

$p$Pb collisions at 5.02 and 8.16 TeV and for PbPb collisions at 2.76 and 5.02

for improving physics analyses at colliders. One such method is the Energy Flow

represents jets as permutation-invariant sets of particle momenta while
maintaining infrared and collinear safety. We develop a variant of the Energy

this work we revisit the sterile neutrino thermalisation calculation using the
full collision term, and compare the results with various existing

not been appreciated previously. These include an unphysical production of

jets as they traverse through a droplet of quark-gluon plasma. To date, most
jet modification studies have been based on comparing the jet properties
measured in heavy-ion collisions to a proton-proton baseline at the same
reconstructed jet transverse momentum ($p_T$). It is well known, however, that
the quenching of jets from their interaction with the medium leads to a
migration of jets from higher to lower $p_T$, making it challenging to directly
infer the degree and mechanism of jet energy loss. Our proposed quantile
matching procedure is inspired by (but not reliant on) the approximate
monotonicity of energy loss in the jet $p_T$. In this strategy, jets in
heavy-ion collisions ordered by $p_T$ are viewed as modified versions of the
same number of highest-energy jets in proton-proton collisions, and the
fractional energy loss as a function of jet $p_T$ is a natural observable
($Q_{\rm AA}$). Furthermore, despite non-monotonic fluctuations in the energy
loss, we use an event generator to validate the strong correlation between the
$p_T$ of the parton that initiates a heavy-ion jet and the $p_T$ of the vacuum
jet which corresponds to it via the quantile procedure ($p_T^{\rm quant}$). We
demonstrate that this strategy both provides a complementary way to study jet
modification and mitigates the effect of $p_T$ migration in heavy-ion
collisions.

have historically relied on the detection of displaced particles produced by
their decay $\textit{within}$ the detector volume. In this paper we study the
potential of the complementary signature comprising of the missing transverse
energy ($E_T^{miss}$) signal, traditionally used to look for dark matter, e.g.,
the lightest supersymmetric particle (LSP), to extend the LHC coverage to
models with long-lived (LL) particles when they decay $\textit{outside}$ the
detector. Using CMS and ATLAS analyses at the 8 TeV LHC, we set an upper limit
at the 95% confidence level (CL) on the production cross sections for two
specific scenarios: (i) a model with a heavy non-standard model Higgs boson
decaying to a LL scalar and (ii) an R-parity violating RPV SUSY model with a LL
neutralino.
We show that this method can significantly extend the LHC sensitivity to
neutral, LL particles with arbitrary large lifetimes and that the limits
obtained from a $E_T^{miss}$ signal are comparable to those from displaced
particle searches for decay distances above a few meters. Results obtained in
this study do not not depend on the specific decay channel of the LL particle
and therefore are model-independent in this sense. We provide limits for the
whole two-dimensional plane in terms of the mass of the LL particle and the
mass of the mediator up to masses of 2 TeV including particular benchmarks
studied in the original experimental papers. We have made these limits
available in the form of a grid which can be used for the interpretation of
various other new physics models.

$P$-wave scalars ($D^*_0(2400)$, $B^*_0(5730)$) and tensors ($D^*_2(2460)$,
$D^*_{s2}(2573)$), we obtain results in good agreement with the experimental
data. For the axial vectors $D_1(2420)$ and $D_1^\prime(2430)$, a state mixing
scheme between $1^1P_1$ and $1^3P_1$ is favored with a mixing angle
$\phi\simeq-(55\pm 5)^\circ$, which is consistent with previous theoretical
predictions. The same mixing scheme also applies to $D_{s1}(2460)$ and
$D_{s1}(2536)$ that accounts for the narrow width of the $D_{s1}(2536)$ and its
dominant decay into $D^*K$. For $B_1(5725)$ and $B_1^\prime(5732)$, such a
mixing explains well the decay width of the former but leads to an even broader
$B_1^\prime(5732)$. Predictions for the strange-bottom axial vectors are also
made. For the undetermined meson $D^*(2640)$, we find that they fit in well the
radially excited state $2^3S_1$ according to its decay mode. The newly observed
$D^*_{sJ}(2860)$ strongly favors the $D$-wave excited state $1^3D_3$. For
$D^*_{sJ}(2632)$ and $D^*_{sJ}(2690)$, we find they are difficult to fit in any
$D_s$ excitations in that mass region, if the experimental data are accurate.
Theoretical predictions for decay modes of those unobserved states as
multiplets of 2S and 1D waves are also presented, which should be useful for
further experimental search for those states.

General arguments are given which confirm that the angular momentum of QCD matter in the presence of non-zero topological charge should induce an electric field aligned along the axis of the angular momentum. A simple formula relating the magnitude of charge asymmetry to the angular momentum and topological charge is derived. The expected asymmetry is amenable to experimental observation at RHIC and LHC; we discuss the recent preliminary STAR result in light of our findings. |

reconnection affect the hadro-chemistry in proton-proton (pp) collisions with
special focus on the production of resonances using the PYTHIA8 event
generator. We find that color reconnection suppresses the relative production
of meson resonances such as $\rho_{0}$ and K*, providing an alternative
explanation for the K*/K decrease observed in proton-proton collisions as a
function of multiplicity by the ALICE collaboration. Detailed studies of the
underlying mechanism causing meson resonance suppression indicate that color
reconnection leads to shorter, less energetic strings whose fragmentation is
less likely to produce more massive hadrons for a given quark content,
therefore reducing ratios such as K*/K and $\rho_0/\pi$ in high-multiplicity pp
collisions. In addition, we have also studied the effects of allowing string
junctions to form and found that these may also contribute to resonance
suppression.

the sensitivity of \lambda_G in our calculations. Our computed results are
