We study electromagnetic transitions of excited baryons in a deformed oscillator quark model, where baryon excited states are described as rotational bands of deformed intrinsic states. We describe all necessary tools to compute transition amplitudes in multipole basis, which are then related to the commonly used helicity amplitudes. We pay a special attention on the sign of the amplitudes as well as their absolute values by computing the photon and pion couplings simultaneously. We have found that the effect of deformation on the transition amplitudes is rather weak. The difficulty in reproducing the empirical amplitude of the Roper state is discussed.

Results of the chiral quark models for the soft matrix elements involving pions and photons, relevant for high-energy processes, are reviewed. We discuss quantities related to the generalized parton distributions of the pion: the parton distribution functions, the parton distribution amplitudes, and the generalized form factors. The model predictions are compared to the data or lattice simulations, with good agreement. The QCD evolution from the low quark model scale up to the experimental scales is a crucial ingredient of the approach.

The exploration of the parameter space of axion and axion-like particle dark matter is a major aim of the future program of astroparticle physics investigations. In this context, we present a possible strategy that focuses on detecting radio emissions arising from the conversion of dark matter axions in the Sun's magnetic field, including conversion in sunspots. We demonstrate that near-future low-frequency radio telescopes, such as the SKA Low, may access regions of unexplored parameter space for masses $m_a\lesssim 10^{-6}$ eV.

We discuss the effective interactions of axion supermultiplet, which might be important for analyzing the cosmological aspect of supersymmetric axion model. Related to axino cosmology, it is stressed that three seemingly similar but basically different quantities, the Wilsonian axino-gluino-gluon coupling, the 1PI axino-gluino-gluon amplitude, and the PQ anomaly coefficient, should be carefully distinguished from each other for correct analysis of the thermal production of axinos in the early Universe. It is then noticed that the 1PI axino-gluino-gluon amplitude at energy scale p in the range M_\Phi < p < v_{PQ} is suppressed by (M_\Phi ^2)/(p^2) in addition to the well-known suppression by p/(16\pi^2 v_{PQ}), where M_\Phi is the mass of the heaviest PQ-charged and gauge-charged matter supermultiplet in the model, which can be well below the PQ scale v_{PQ}. As a result, axino production at temperature T>M_\Phi is dominated by the production by matter supermultiplet, not by the production by gauge supermultiplet. Still the axino production rate is greatly reduced if M_\Phi << v_{PQ}, which would make the subsequent cosmology significantly altered. This would be most notable in the supersymmetric DFSZ model in which M_\Phi corresponds to the Higgsino mass which is around the weak scale, however a similar reduction is possible in the KSVZ model also. We evaluate the relic axino density for both the DFSZ and KSVZ models while including the axino production in the processes involving the heaviest PQ-charged and gauge-charged matter supermultiplet.

Hadronic corrections to the muon lifetime are calculated in the Fermi theory in the presence of QED using dispersion relations. The result, after convolution of hadron data with the calculated perturbative kernel is Delta Gamma_had = -Gamma_0(alpha/pi)^2(0.042) where Gamma_0 is the tree-level width. The results are also used to obtain the corrections to the muon lifetime coming from virtual muon and tau loops Delta Gamma_muon = Gamma_0(alpha/pi)^2[(16987/576)-(85/36)zeta(2)-(64/3)zeta(3)] = -Gamma_0(alpha/pi)^2(0.0364333) Delta Gamma_tau = -Gamma_0(alpha/pi)^2)(0.00058)

Direct detection experiments for light dark matter are making enormous leaps in reaching previously unexplored model space. Several recent proposals rely on collective excitations, where the experimental sensitivity is highly dependent on detailed properties of the target material, well beyond just nucleus mass numbers as in conventional searches. It is thus important to optimize the target choice when considering which experiment to build. We carry out a comparative study of target materials across several detection channels, focusing on electron transitions and single (acoustic or optical) phonon excitations in crystals, as well as the traditional nuclear recoils. We compare materials currently in use in nuclear recoil experiments (Si, Ge, NaI, CsI, CaWO$_4$), a few which have been proposed for light dark matter experiments (GaAs, Al$_2$O$_3$, diamond), as well as 16 other promising polar crystals across all detection channels. We find that target- and dark matter model-dependent reach is largely determined by a small number of material parameters: speed of sound, electronic band gap, mass number, Born effective charge, high frequency dielectric constant, and optical phonon energies. We showcase, for each of the two benchmark models, an exemplary material which has a better reach than in any currently proposed experiment.

The search for supersymmetry at Run 1 of LHC has resulted in gluino mass limits m(gluino)>~ 1.3 TeV for the case where m(gluino)<<m(squark) and in models with gaugino mass unification. The increased energy and ultimately luminosity of LHC13 will explore the range m(gluino)~ 1.3-2 TeV. We examine how the discovery of SUSY via gluino pair production would unfold via a comparative analysis of three LSP archetype scenarios: 1. mSUGRA/CMSSM model with a bino-like LSP, 2. charged SUSY breaking (CSB) with a wino-like LSP and 3. SUSY with radiatively-driven naturalness (RNS) and a higgsino-like LSP. In all three cases we expect heavy-to-very-heavy squarks as suggested by a decoupling solution to the SUSY flavor and CP problems and by the gravitino problem. For all cases, initial SUSY discovery would likely occur in the multi-b-jet + ETMISS channel. The CSB scenario would be revealed by the presence of highly-ionizing, terminating tracks from quasi-stable charginos. As further data accrue, the RNS scenario with 100-200 GeV higgsino-like LSPs would be revealed by the build-up of a mass edge/bump in the OS/SF dilepton invariant mass which is bounded by the neutralino mass difference. The mSUGRA/CMSSM archetype would contain neither of these features but would be revealed by a buildup of the usual multi-lepton cascade decay signatures.

We investigate the entropy production within dissipative hydrodynamics in the Israel-Stewart (IS) and Navier-Stokes theory (NS) for relativistic heavy ion physics applications. In particular we focus on the initial condition in a 0+1D Bjorken scenario, appropriate for the early longitudinal expansion stage of the collision. Going beyond the standard simplification of a massless ideal gas we consider a realistic equation of state consistently derived within a virial expansion. The EoS used is well in line with recent three-flavor QCD lattice data for the pressure, speed of sound, and interaction measure at nonzero temperature and vanishing chemical potential ($\mu_{\rm q} = 0$). The shear viscosity has been consistently calculated within this formalism using a kinetic approach in the ultra-relativistic regime with an explicit and systematic evaluation of the transport cross section as function of temperature. We investigate the influence of the viscosity and the initial condition, i.e. formation time, initial temperature, and pressure anisotropy for the entropy production at RHIC at $\sqrt{s_{\rm NN}}=130$ GeV. We find that the interplay between effects of the viscosity and of the realistic EoS can not be neglected in the reconstruction of the initial state from experimental data. Therefore, from the experimental findings it is very hard to derive unambiguous information about the initial conditions and/or the evolution of the system.

The branching ratios of these decays are promising probes of New Physics, both independently and relative to each other. Recent experimental progress at the LHC has confirmed the existence of the $B_{s} \to \mu^+ \mu^-$ decay, and has not revealed any large signals of New Physics that may have been present. This raises the question of whether moderate New Physics effects can be identified in the LHC era. To that end I review several important developments in the Standard Model branching ratio predictions, and discuss how the latest measurements currently constrain New Physics. Furthermore, I highlight how a time-dependent analysis of $B_{s} \to \mu^+ \mu^-$, which may be feasible at the upgraded CMS and LHCb detectors, can complement the search for and identification of New Physics.

A quantum kinetic equation is derived for the description of pair production in a time-dependent homogeneous electric field $E(t)$. As a source term, the Schwinger mechanism for particle creation is incorporated. Possible particle production due to collisions and collisional damping are neglected. The main result is a kinetic equation of non-Markovian character. In the low density approximation, the source term is reduced to the leading part of the well known Schwinger formula for the probability of pair creation. We discuss the momentum and time dependence of the derived source term and compare with other approaches.

We propose a model where neutrino masses are generated at three loop order but neutrinoless double beta decay occurs at one loop. Thus we can have large neutrinoless double beta decay observable in the future experiments even when the neutrino masses are very small. The model receives strong constraints from the neutrino data and lepton flavor violating decays, which substantially reduces the number of free parameters. Our model also opens up the possibility of having several new scalars below the TeV regime, which can be explored at the collider experiments. Additionally, our model also has an unbroken $Z_2$ symmetry which allows us to identify a viable Dark Matter candidate.

Heisenberg nonperturbative quantization technique for quantum chromodynamics is applied. In such approach the nonperturbative quantization is based on Yang - Mills equations applied for the quantum field operator $\hat A^B_\mu$. It is shown that such equation is equivalent to an infinite equations set for all Green functions. Various approximate methods for solving the infinite equations set are discussed.

Production of heavy Majorana neutrino $N_{e}$ predicted by left-right symmetric extension of the Standard Model at future {\normalsize TeV} scale $ep$ colliders have been considered. In order to estimate potential of $ep$ colliders for $N_{e}$ search we consider back-groundless process $e^{-}p\rightarrow e^{+}X$ which is consequence of Majorana nature of $N_{e}$. It is shown that {\normalsize linac-LHC} and {\normalsize linac-FCC} based $ep$ colliders will cover much wider regions of $N_{e}$ and $W_{R}$ masses than corresponding linear electron-positron colliders.

An intriguing feature of extra dimensions is the possible production of Kaluza--Klein gravitons by nucleon-nucleon bremsstrahlung in the course of core collapse of massive stars, as pointed out by Hannestad and Raffelt. In this event Kaluza--Klein gravitons are copiously produced and a significant fraction of them remains trapped around the newly born neutron stars. They slowly decay into 2 gamma rays, making neutron stars gamma-ray sources. In this letter, we strengthen considerably the limits on the radius of compactification of extra-dimensions for small number $n$ of them, or alternatively the fundamental scale of quantum gravity, considering the gamma-ray emission of the whole population of neutron stars sitting in the Galactic bulge, instead of the closest member of this category. For $n=1$ the constraint on the compactification radius is $R<400\mu$m, overlapping with the distance ($180\mu$m) at which Newtons law is directly measured. In addition, for n=1 and n=2, the fundamental energy scale of quantum gravity is far beyond the collider technology. These results imply that if $n\lesssim4$ and if strong gravity is around a TeV, the compactification topology is to be more complex than that of a torus.

We present a search for fundamental constant oscillations in the range $20$~kHz-$100$ MHz, that may arise within models for ultralight dark matter (UDM). Using two independent, significantly upgraded optical-spectroscopy apparatus, we achieve up to $\times$1000 greater sensitivity in the search relative to previous work. We report no observation of UDM and thus constrain respective couplings to electrons and photons within the investigated UDM particle mass range $8\cdot 10^{-11}-4\cdot 10^{-7}$ eV. The constraints significantly exceed previously set bounds, and as we show, may surpass in future experiments those provided by equivalence-principle experiments in a specific case regarding the combination of UDM couplings probed by the latter.

A large hierarchy of the Dirac masses can result in a small hierarchy for the low energy masses of the active neutrinos. This can happen even if the Majorana masses of right-handed neutrinos are all equal. A realistic description of the observed neutrino masses and mixing can be obtained starting from a large hierarchy in the Dirac masses. A large mixing for solar neutrinos results from the neutrino sector. The small value of the MNS matrix element U_e3 is a natural consequence of the scheme. The masses of the two lighter neutrinos are related to the solar neutrino mixing angle: mu_1/mu_2 = tan^2 theta_sol.

We present the analysis of the 1/Q-suppressed non-perturbative (NP) contribution to the cumulative out-of-event-plane momentum distribution in e+e- annihilation in the near-to-planar three-jet region. It complements our previous study of the perturbative (PT) distributions resummed to single logarithmic accuracy. Due to inter-jet soft gluon radiation, the NP contributions (as well as the PT distributions) are sensitive to the geometry (the angles between jets) and the colour structure of the underlying hard process (topology of the three-prong parton antenna). The results and techniques presented here could be extended to other multi-jet processes and, in particular, to hadron-hadron collisions.

We study the rare B decay $B \to K^* \ell^+ \ell^-$ using soft-collinear effective theory (SCET). At leading power in $1/m_b$, a factorization formula is obtained valid to all orders in $\alpha_s$. For phenomenological application, we calculate the decay amplitude including order $\alpha_s$ corrections, and resum the logarithms by evolving the matching coefficients from the hard scale ${\cal O}(m_b)$ down to the scale $\sqrt{m_b \Lambda_h}$. The branching ratio for $B \to K^* \ell^+ \ell^-$ is uncertain due to the imprecise knowledge of the soft form factors $\zeta_\perp (q^2)$ and $\zeta_\parallel (q^2)$. Constraining the soft form factor $\zeta_\perp (q^2=0)$ from data on $B \to K^* \gamma$ yields $\zeta_\perp (q^2=0)=0.32 \pm 0.02$. Using this input, together with the light-cone sum rules to determine the $q^2$dependence of $\zeta_\perp (q^2)$ and the other soft form factor $\zeta_\parallel (q^2)$, we eastimate the partially integrated branching ratio in the range $1~{GeV}^2 \le q^2 \le 7~{GeV}^2$ to be $(2.92^{+0.67}_{-0.61}) \times 10^{-7}$. We discuss how to reduce the form factor related uncertainty by combining data on $B \to \rho (\to \pi \pi) \ell \nu_\ell$ and $B\to K^* (\to K\pi) \ell^+\ell^-$. The forward-backward asymmetry is less sensitive to the input parameters. In particular, for the zero-point of the forward backward asymmetry in the standard model, we get $q_0^2=(4.07^{+0.13}_{-0.12})~{GeV}^2$. The scale dependence of $q_0^2$ is discussed in detail.

The BESIII Collaboration recently reported the observation of the $X(2600)$ state in the $\eta^\prime \pi^+\pi^-$ invariant mass spectrum of $J/\psi \to \gamma \eta^\prime \pi^+\pi^-$, with a significance exceeding $20\sigma$. Its $J^{PC}$ quantum numbers could be either $0^{-+}$ or $2^{-+}$. We explore the possibility of the $X(2600)$ being a higher state of the $\eta_2$ meson family. Through ($n,M^2$) trajectory analysis and the Quark Pair Creation model, we propose that the $X(2600)$ could be the third radial excitation of the $\eta_2(1870)$. However, the theoretical decay width of the $\eta_2(4D)$ is smaller than the experimental width of the $X(2600)$, and branching ratio calculations suggest inconsistencies, leading us to exclude the $X(2600)$ as the $\eta_2(4D)$. Our findings contribute to the understanding of the $X(2600)$ and provide insights for future experimental searches for excited the $\eta_2$ states.

The neutrino oscillation probabilities in vacuum and matter are discussed, considering the framework of three active and one light sterile neutrinos. We study in detail the rephasing invariants and CP asymmetry observables, and investigate the four-neutrino oscillations in long-baseline neutrino experiments, such as DUNE, NO$\nu$A and T2HK. Our results show that the matter effect enhances quite a significantly the oscillation probabilities of electron neutrino and electron antineutrino appearance channels within a certain energy range, while no considerable change arises in the CP asymmetry analysis due to the matter effect. Moreover, separation between the results with and without the sterile neutrino is not so significant and that is also affected by CP-violating phases. Comparing the results for these three experiments, all of them have similar features, nevertheless, sizes and separations of the oscillation probabilities in DUNE are bit larger.

With proper profiles of the scalar potential and the dilaton field, for the first time, the spontaneous chiral symmetry breaking in the vacuum and its restoration at finite temperature are correctly realized in the holographic QCD framework. In the chiral limit, a nonzero chiral condensate develops in the vacuum and decreases with temperature, and the phase transition is of 2nd order for two-flavor case and of 1st order for three-flavor case. In the case of explicit chiral symmetry breaking, in two-flavor case, the 2nd order phase transition turns to crossover with any nonzero current quark mass, and in three-flavor case, the 1st order phase transition turns to crossover at a finite current quark mass. The correct description of chiral symmetry breaking and restoration makes the holographic QCD models more powerful in dealing with non-perturbative QCD phenomena. This framework can be regarded as a general set up in application of AdS/CFT to describe conventional Ginzburg-Landau-Wilson type phase transitions, e.g. in condensed matter and cosmology systems.

We study quantum electrodynamics in 1+1 dimensions in the light--front frame using numerical methods. We analyze confinement and charge screening which are key features of this system. By direct analysis of wavefunctions of bound states in two parton sector we determine the string tension. In four parton sector we introduce inclusive distributions and inspect structure of energy eigenstates. We conclude that they are composed of two weakly interacting $f\bar f$ pairs. These four particle states are responsible for the screening. Finally, we study time evolution of a fermion--antifermion state separated by a specific distance. We demonstrate that for sufficient separation it decays into a multiparton state and the number of particles in the product depends on separation of particles.

In an improved application of the tetrahedral symmetry A_4 first introduced by Ma and Rajasekaran, supplemented by the discrete symmetry Z_3 as well as supersymmetry, a two-parameter form of the neutrino mass matrix is derived which exhibits the tribimaximal mixing of Harrison, Perkins, and Scott. This form is the same one obtained previously by Altarelli and Feruglio, and the inverse of that obtained by Babu and He. If only A_4 is used, then corrections appear, making tan^2(theta_{12}) differenet from 0.5, without changing significantly sin^2(2 theta_{23}) from one or theta_{13} from zero.

Quantitative bounds on Lorentz symmetry violation in the neutrino sector have been obtained by analyzing existing laboratory data on neutron $\beta$ decay and pion leptonic decays. In particular some parameters appearing in the energy-momentum dispersion relations for $\nu_e$ and $\nu_\mu$ have been constrained in two typical cases arising in many models accounting for Lorentz violation.

In particular some parameters appearing in the energy-momentum dispersion relations for $\nu_e$ and $\nu_\mu$ have been constrained in two typical cases arising in many models accounting for Lorentz violation.

Highly accurate measurements of quantum level energies in molecular systems provide a test ground for new physics, as such effects could manifest themselves as minute shifts in the quantum level structures of atoms and molecules. For the lightest molecular systems, neutral molecular hydrogen (H$_2$, HD and D$_2$) and the molecular hydrogen ions (H$_2^+$, HD$^+$ and D$_2^+$), weak force effects are several orders weaker than current experimental and theoretical results, while contributions of Newtonian gravity and the strong force at the characteristic molecular distance scale of 1 \AA\ can be safely neglected. Comparisons between experiment and QED calculations for these molecular systems can be interpreted in terms of probing large extra space dimensions, under which gravity could become much stronger than in ordinary 3-D space. Under this assumption, using the spectra of H$_2$ we have derived constraints on the compactification scales for extra dimensions within the Arkani-Hamed-Dimopoulos-Dvali (ADD) framework, and constraints on the brane separation and bulk curvature within the Randall-Sundrum (RS-I and RS-II) frameworks.

We show that the Heavy Quark Effective Theory is renormalizable perturbatively. We also show that there exist renormalization schemes in which the infinite quark mass limit of any QCD Green function is exactly given by the corresponding Green function of the Heavy Quark Effective Theory. All this is accomplished while preserving BRS invariance.

We study the ratio of the cross sections for $t\bar{t}\gamma$ and $t\bar{t}$ production at the LHC. The presence of correlations between theoretical uncertainties of the two processes makes possible a precise determination of this observable. This can help to evidentiate effects of new physics that might reveal themselves only when sufficiently precise theoretical predictions are available. Our analysis is based on fully realistic simulations of $t\bar{t}\gamma$ and $t\bar{t}$ production in the dilepton decay channel, including complete off-shell and non-resonant effects at NLO QCD accuracy. We discuss Standard Model predictions for the LHC Run II at both inclusive and differential level, also quantifying the impact of the theoretical uncertainties related to variation of scales and parton distribution functions.

The W boson can obtain a small right-handed coupling to quarks and leptons through mixing with a hypothetical W' boson that appears in many extensions of the Standard Model. Measuring or even bounding this coupling to the light quarks is very challenging. Only one model independent bound on the absolute value of the complex mixing parameter has been obtained to date. Here we discuss a method sensitive to both the real and CP-violating imaginary parts of the coupling, independent of assumptions on the new physics, and demonstrate quantitatively the feasibility of its measurement at RHIC.

The true muonium $(\mu\bar{\mu})$ bound state presents an interesting test of light-cone quantization techniques. In addition to exhibiting the standard problems of handling non-perturbative calculations, true muonium requires correct treatment of $e\bar{e}$ Fock-state contributions. Having previously produced a crude model of true muonium using the method of iterated resolvents, our current work has focused on the inclusion of the box diagrams to improve the cutoff-dependent issues of the model. Further, a parallel computer code, TMSWIFT, allowing for smaller numerical uncertainties, has been developed. This work focuses on the current state of these efforts to develop a model of true muonium that is testable at near-term experiments.

Charged particle energy spectra in e+e- annihilation are compared with the analytical predictions from the QCD evolution equation in the Modified Leading Log Approximation. With the nonperturbative initial condition shifted down to threshold as suggested by the Local Parton Hadron Duality picture a good description of the data from the lowest up to highest available energies results. The two essential parameters in this approach are determined from a moment analysis. The sensitivity of the fit to the running of alpha_s and to the number of active flavours (including a light gluino) is demonstrated. For very high energies the theory predicts a scaling behaviour in certain rescaled variables (``zeta-scaling''). The data show an approximate behaviour of this type in the present energy range and come close to the predicted asymptotic scaling function for the small particle energies.

The relative differences between the three and purely two neutrino flavor oscillations are elaborated. As an implication, the downward going atmospheric tau neutrino flux is compared with the galactic plane tau neutrino flux that is also estimated in the presence of three neutrino flavor oscillations. It is pointed out that the galactic plane tau neutrino flux dominates over the downward going atmospheric tau neutrino flux until E \sim 10 GeV.

Motivated by recent experimental data, we study solar neutrino oscillations in the range 10^-10 < delta m^2/E < 10^-7 eV^2/MeV. In this range vacuum oscillations become increasingly affected by (solar and terrestrial) matter effects for increasing delta m^2, smoothly reaching the MSW regime. A numerical study of matter effects in such "quasi-vacuum" regime is performed. The results are applied to the analysis of the recent solar neutrino phenomenology.

We explore viable scenarios for parametric resonant amplification of electroweak (EW) gauge fields and Chern-Simons number during preheating, leading to baryogenesis at the electroweak (EW) scale. In this class of scenarios time-dependent classical EW gauge fields, essentially spatially-homogeneous on the horizon scales, carry Chern-Simons number which can be amplified by parametric resonance up to magnitudes at which unsuppressed topological transitions in the Higgs sector become possible. Baryon number non-conservation associated with the gauge sector and the highly non-equilibrium nature of preheating allow for efficient baryogenesis. The requisite large CP violation can arise either from the time dependence of a slowly varying Higgs field (spontaneous baryogenesis), or from a resonant amplification of CP violation induced in the gauge sector through loops. We identify several CP violating operators in the Standard Model and its minimal extensions that can facilitate efficient baryogenesis at preheating, and show how to overcome would-be exponential suppression of baryogenesis associated with tunneling barriers.

We discuss the smooth hybrid inflation scenario in the context of a simple supersymmetric SO(10) GUT in 5D orbifold. In this GUT model, the SO(10) gauge symmetry is broken down to the Pati-Salam (PS) gauge group, SU(4)$_c \times$ SU(2)$_L \times$ SU(2)$_R$, by orbifold boundary conditions and all matter and Higgs multiplets are placed only on the brane (PS brane) where only the PS symmetry is manifest. Further breaking of the Pati-Salam group to the Standard Model one is realized by VEVs of the Higgs multiplets $({\bf 4},{\bf 1},{\bf 2}) \oplus (\overline{{\bf 4}},{\bf 1},{\bf 2})$. The gauge coupling unification is successfully realized at $M_{\rm GUT} =4.6 \times 10^{17}$ GeV after incorporating the threshold corrections of the Kaluza-Klein modes, with the compactification scale (assumed to be the same as the PS symmetry breaking scale) $M_c = v_{\rm PS}= 1.2 \times 10^{16}$ GeV. We show that this orbifold GUT model can naturally leads us to the smooth hybrid inflation, which tunes out to be consistent with the WMAP 5-year data with the predicted $M_{\rm GUT}$ and $v_{PS}$ in the model.

Isodoublet color-octet scalar bosons appear in the low-energy limit of a natural extension of the Standard Model in which the electroweak symmetry is broken by a $t\bar t$ condensate. We briefly discuss the model and show that radiative corrections (involving these scalars) to the branching ratio $R_b=\Gamma (Z\rightarrow b\bar b)/\Gamma (Z\rightarrow {\rm hadrons})$ are negative and thus place a stringent lower bound on the masses of the colored scalars. This turns out to be $\sim 400$ GeV with $m_t=150$ GeV and increases quadratically with $m_t$. It is emphasized that $R_b$ is a parameter that is well-determined experimentally and that theoretical estimates are relatively free from uncertainties emanating from hadronic corrections and are comparatively insensitive to the value of the top mass.

Since bottom quark is the weak isospin partner of the top quark, its interaction with a scalar boson may also distinguish models of EWSB. We show that Tevatron can provide useful information through the associated production of a scalar with a bottom quark pair.

The sensitivity of the atmospheric neutrino experiments to the non-standard flavor-dependent interaction in neutrino propagation is studied under the assumption that the only nonvanishing components of the non-standard matter effect are the electron and tau neutrino components $\epsilon_{ee}$, $\epsilon_{e\tau}$, $\epsilon_{\tau\tau}$ and that the tau-tau component satisfies the constraint $\epsilon_{\tau\tau}=|\epsilon_{e\tau}|^2/(1+\epsilon_{ee})$ which is suggested from the high energy behavior for atmospheric neutrino data. It is shown that the Superkamiokande (SK) data for 4438 days constrains $|\tan\beta|\equiv|\epsilon_{e\tau}/(1+\epsilon_{ee})|\lesssim 0.8$ at 2.5$\sigma$ (98.8\%) CL whereas the future Hyperkamiokande experiment for the same period of time as SK will constrain as $|\tan\beta|\lesssim 0.3$ at 2.5$\sigma$CL from the energy rate analysis and the energy spectrum analysis will give even tighter bounds on $\epsilon_{ee}$ and $|\epsilon_{e\tau}|$.

Constraints on the heavy sterile neutrino mixing angles are studied in the framework of a minimal supersymmetric ${\rm SO}(10)$ model with {\it double see-saw mechanism}. A new singlet matter in addition to the right-handed neutrinos is introduced to realize the double see-saw mechanism. The minimal ${\rm SO}(10)$ model gives an unambiguous Dirac neutrino mass matrix, which enables us to predict the masses and the mixing angles in the enlarged $9 \times 9$ neutrino mass matrix. Mixing angles between the light Majorana neutrinos and the heavy sterile neutrinos are shown to be within the LEP experimental bound on all ranges of the Majorana phases.

We have attempted to build a parametric based simplified and analytical model to map the interaction of quarks and gluons in presence of magnetic field, which has been constrained by quark condensate and thermodynamical quantities like pressure, energy density etc., obtained from the calculation of lattice quantum chromodynamics. To fulfill that mapping, we have assumed a parametric temperature and magnetic field dependent degeneracy factor, average energy, momentum and velocity of quarks and gluons. Implementing this QCD interaction in calculation of transport coefficient at finite magnetic field, we have noticed that magnetic field and interaction both are two dominating sources, for which the values of transport coefficients can be reduced. Though the methodology is not so robust, but with the help of its simple parametric expressions, one can get a quick rough estimation of any phenomenological quantity, influenced by temperature and magnetic field dependent QCD interaction.

I review some theoretical aspects of neutrino oscillations in the case when more than two neutrino flavours are involved. These include: approximate analytic solutions for 3-flavour (3f) oscillations in matter; matter effects in nu_mu - nu_tau oscillations; 3f effects in oscillations of solar, atmospheric, reactor and supernova neutrinos and in accelerator long-baseline experiments; CP and T violation in neutrino oscillations in vacuum and in matter; the problem of U_{e3}; 4f oscillations.

The charge and transition form factors of pion ($F_\pi$, $F_{\pi\gamma}$, and $F_{\pi\gamma^*}$) are studied with the light-front quark model. We find that our results for $F_\pi$ and $F_{\pi\gamma}$ agree very well with experimental data. Furthermore, the decay constants of $\eta$ and $\eta'$ are evaluated. We also calculate $F_{\eta\gamma}$ and $F_{\eta'\gamma}$ and compare with the experimental data.

A key research question at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is the test of models of new physics. Testing if a particular parameter set of such a model is excluded by LHC data is a challenge: It requires the time consuming generation of scattering events, the simulation of the detector response, the event reconstruction, cross section calculations and analysis code to test against several hundred signal regions defined by the ATLAS and CMS experiment. In the BSM-AI project we attack this challenge with a new approach. Machine learning tools are thought to predict within a fraction of a millisecond if a model is excluded or not directly from the model parameters. A first example is SUSY-AI, trained on the phenomenological supersymmetric standard model (pMSSM). About 300,000 pMSSM model sets - each tested with 200 signal regions by ATLAS - have been used to train and validate SUSY-AI. The code is currently able to reproduce the ATLAS exclusion regions in 19 dimensions with an accuracy of at least 93 percent. It has been validated further within the constrained MSSM and a minimal natural supersymmetric model, again showing high accuracy. SUSY-AI and its future BSM derivatives will help to solve the problem of recasting LHC results for any model of new physics. SUSY-AI can be downloaded at http://susyai.hepforge.org/.

We consider the $O(N+1)/O(N)$ Non-Linear Sigma Model for large $N$ as an effective theory for low-energy QCD at finite temperature $T$, in the chiral limit. At $T=0$ this formulation provides a good description of scattering data in the scalar channel and generates dynamically the $f_0(500)$ pole, the pole position lying within experimental determinations. Previous $T=0$ results with this model are updated using newer analysis of pion scattering data. We calculate the pion scattering amplitude at finite $T$ and show that it satisfies exactly thermal unitarity, which had been assumed but not formally proven in previous works. We discuss the main differences with the $T=0$ result and we show that one can define a proper renormalization scheme with $T=0$ counterterms such that the renormalized amplitude can be chosen to depend only on a few parameters. Next, we analyze the behaviour of the $f_0(500)$ pole at finite $T$, which is consistent with chiral symmetry restoration when the scalar susceptibility is saturated by the $f_0(500)$ state, in a second-order transition scenario and in accordance with lattice and theoretical analysis.

We analyze supergravity models that predict a low mass gluino within the landscape of sparticle mass hierarchies. The analysis includes a broad class of models that arise in minimal and in non-minimal supergravity unified frameworks and in extended models with additional $U(1)^n_X$ hidden sector gauge symmetries. Gluino masses in the range $(350-700)$ GeV are investigated. Masses in this range are promising for early discovery at the LHC at $\sqrt s =7$ TeV (LHC-7). The models exhibit a wide dispersion in the gaugino-Higgsino eigencontent of their LSPs and in their associated sparticle mass spectra. A signature analysis is carried out and the prominent discovery channels for the models are identified with most models needing only $\sim 1 \rm fb^{-1}$ for discovery at LHC-7. In addition, significant variations in the discovery capability of the low mass gluino models are observed for models in which the gluino masses are of comparable size due to the mass splittings in different models and the relative position of the light gluino within the various sparticle mass hierarchies. The models are consistent with the current stringent bounds from the Fermi-LAT, CDMS-II, XENON100, and EDELWEISS-2 experiments. A subclass of these models, which include a mixed-wino LSP and a Higgsino LSP, are also shown to accommodate the positron excess seen in the PAMELA satellite experiment.

In this paper we consider the bilocal field approach for $QCD$. We obtain a bilocal effective meson action with a potential kernel given in relativistic covariant form. The corresponding Schwinger--Dyson and Bethe--Salpeter equations are investigated in detail. By introducing weak interactions into the theory we study heavy meson properties as decay constants and semileptonic decay amplitudes. Thereby, the transition from the bilocal field description to the heavy quark effective theory is discussed. Considering as example the semileptonic decay of a pseudoscalar $B$--meson into a pseudoscalar $D$--meson we obtain an integral expression for the corresponding Isgur--Wise function in terms of meson wave functions.

A scheme of quantum electrodynamic (QED) background-free radiative emission of neutrino pair (RENP) is proposed in order to achieve precision determination of neutrino properties so far not accessible. The important point for the background rejection is the fact that the dispersion relation between wave vector along propagating direction in wave guide (and in a photonic-crystal type fiber) and frequency is modified by a discretized non-vanishing effective mass. This effective mass acts as a cutoff of allowed frequencies, and one may select the RENP photon energy region free of all macro-coherently amplified QED processes by choosing the cutoff larger than the mass of neutrinos.

Novel relativistic expressions are used to calculate the weak decay constants of pseudoscalar and vector mesons within the constituent quark model. Meson wave functions satisfy the quasipotential equation with the complete relativistic potential. New contributions, coming from the negative-energy quark states, are substantial for the light mesons, significantly decrease the values of their decay constants and, thus, bring them into agreement with experiment. For heavy-light mesons these contribution are much less pronounced, but permit to reduce uncertainties of the predicted decay constants. Their values agree with the results of lattice calculations and experimental data.

The bound state Bethe-Salpeter amplitude was expressed by Nakanishi using a two-dimensional integral representation, in terms of a smooth weight function $g$, which carries the detailed dynamical information. A similar, but one-dimensional, integral representation can be obtained for the Light-Front wave function in terms of the same weight function $g$. By using the generalized Stieltjes transform, we first obtain $g$ in terms of the Light-Front wave function in the complex plane of its arguments. Next, a new integral equation for the Nakanishi weight function $g$ is derived for a bound state case. It has the standard form $g= N g$, where $N$ is a two-dimensional integral operator. We give the prescription for obtaining the kernel $ N$ starting with the kernel $K$ of the Bethe-Salpeter equation. The derivation is valid for any kernel given by an irreducible Feynman amplitude.

A similar, but one-dimensional, integral representation can be obtained for the Light-Front wave function in terms of the same weight function $g$. By using the generalized Stieltjes transform, we first obtain $g$ in terms of the Light-Front wave function in the complex plane of its arguments. Next, a new integral equation for the Nakanishi weight function $g$ is derived for a bound state case. It has the standard form $g= N g$, where $N$ is a two-dimensional integral operator. We give the prescription for obtaining the kernel $ N$ starting with the kernel $K$ of the Bethe-Salpeter equation. The derivation is valid for any kernel given by an irreducible Feynman amplitude.

The available upward-going muon data from the Kamiokande, Baksan, MACRO, IMB, and SuperKamiokande experiments are reviewed and combined. Bounds on the neutrino mass and mixing parameters are derived for oscillations in two and three flavors. These bounds are not in significant conflict with the oscillation solution to the atmospheric neutrino flavor anomaly observed in the sub-GeV and multi-GeV energy range. The combination of all the available atmospheric data tends to favor the nu_mu <---> nu_e channel with respect to the nu_mu <---> nu_tau channel, and to disfavor the threefold maximal mixing scenario.

We study real photons produced in heavy ion collisions at RHIC, and we calculate their spectrum and its azimuthal momentum anisotropy. The photons from a variety of sources are included, and the interplay and the time-evolution of those sources are modelled in a full 3D hydrodynamic simulation. We quantify the v_2 of thermal photons produced in ideal and viscous fluids, and the consequences of using different initial conditions are explored.

We study the angle between i) the standard jet axis, ii) the axis of a jet which has been groomed using soft drop, with reduced sensitivity to soft radiation, iii) the jet axis obtained with the winner-take-all recombination scheme, which is insensitive to soft radiation at leading power. We calculate the distributions for these angles at next-to-leading logarithmic accuracy, including non-global logarithms. The angle between the standard and groomed jet axis directly probes soft wide-angle radiation, leading to a novel factorization formula. This angle is also very sensitive to nonperturbative physics, which is directly connected to nonperturbative contribution to the rapidity anomalous dimension for transverse momentum distributions. Comparing our predictions to Pythia we find good agreement, and we foresee applications to jet substructure in proton-proton and heavy ion collisions.

In this work, we interpret the newly observed $\eta_1(1855)$ resonance with exotic $J^{PC}=1^{-+}$ quantum numbers in the $I=0$ sector, reported by the BESIII Collaboration, as a dynamically generated state from the interaction between the lightest pseudoscalar mesons and axial-vector mesons. The interaction is derived from the lowest order chiral Lagrangian from which the Weinberg-Tomozawa term is obtained, describing the transition amplitudes among the relevant channels, which are then unitarized using the Bethe-Salpeter equation, according to the chiral unitary approach. We evaluate the $\eta_1(1855)$ decays into the $\eta\eta^{\prime}$ and $K\bar{K}^*\pi$ channels and find that the latter has a larger branching fraction. We also investigate its SU(3) partners, and according to our findings, the $\pi_1(1400)$ and $\pi_1(1600)$ structures may correspond to dynamically generated states, with the former one coupled mostly to the $b_1\pi$ component and the latter one coupled to the $K_1(1270)\bar{K}$ channel. In particular, our result for the ratio $\Gamma(\pi_1(1600)\to f_1(1285)\pi)/ \Gamma(\pi_1(1600)\to \eta^{\prime}\pi)$ is consistent with the measured value, which supports our interpretation for the higher $\pi_1$ state. We also report two poles with a mass about 1.7~GeV in the $I=1/2$ sector, which may be responsible for the $K^*(1680)$. We suggest searching for two additional $\eta_1$ exotic mesons with masses around 1.4 and 1.7~GeV. In particular, the predicted $\eta_1(1700)$ is expected to have a width around 0.1~GeV and can decay easily into $K\bar K\pi\pi$.

In this work we consider point-like monopole production via photon-fusion and Drell-Yan processes in the framework of an effective U(1) gauge field theory obtained from conventional models describing the interaction of spin 0, 1/2, 1 magnetically-charged fields with ordinary photons, upon electric-magnetic dualisation. We present arguments based on such dualities which support the conjecture of an effective monopole-velocity-dependent magnetic charge. For the cases of spin-1/2 and spin-1 monopoles, we also include a magnetic-moment term kappa, which is treated as a new phenomenological parameter and, together with the velocity-dependent coupling, allows for a perturbative treatment of the cross-section calculation. We discuss unitarity issues within these effective field theories, in particular we point out that in the spin-1 monopole case only the value kappa=1 may restore unitarity. However from an effective-field-theory point of view, this lack of unitarity should not be viewed as an impediment for the phenomenological studies and experimental searches of generic spin-1 monopoles, given that the potential appearance of new degrees of freedom in the ultraviolet completion of such models might restore it. The second part of the paper deals with an appropriate implementation of photon-fusion and Drell-Yan processes based on the above theoretical scenarios into MADGRAPH UFO models, aimed to serve as a useful tool in interpretations of monopole searches at colliders such as LHC, especially for photon fusion, given that it has not been considered by experimental collaborations so far. Moreover, the experimental implications of such perturbatively reliable monopole searches have been laid out.

In multiquark correlator analyses with 1/Nc classifications, it is possible to separate the scattering background and to justify the factorization of condensates, which allows us to achieve an isolated peak saturation in the QCD sum rules for multiquark currents. Then we can extract leading Nc properties of the ground state. An application to the sigma meson is demonstrated.

Ruling out the inverted neutrino hierarchy with neutrinoless double beta decay experiments is possible if a limit on the effective mass below the minimal theoretically possible value is reached. We stress that this lower limit depends strongly on the value of the solar neutrino mixing angle: it introduces an uncertainty of a factor of 2 within its current 3 sigma range. If an experiment is not background-free, a factor of two in effective mass corresponds to a combined factor of 16 improvement for the experimental parameters running time, detector mass, background level and energy resolution. Therefore, a more precise determination of theta(12) is crucial for the interpretation of experimental results and the evaluation of the potential and requirements for future experiments. We give the required half-lifes to exclude (and touch) the inverted hierarchy regime for all double beta decay isotopes with a Q-value above 2 MeV. The nuclear matrix elements from 6 different groups and, if available, their errors are used and compared. We carefully put the calculations on equal footing in what regards various convention issues. We also use our compilation of matrix elements to give the reachable values of the effective mass for a given half-life value.

Sneutrino-antisneutrino mixing occurs in a supersymmetric model where neutrinos have nonzero Majorana masses. This can lead to the sneutrino decaying into a final state with a "wrong-sign charged lepton". Hence, in an $e^- \gamma$ collider, the signal of the associated production of an electron-sneutrino and the lighter chargino and their subsequent decays can be $e^- \gamma \to e^+ {\tilde \tau}_1^- {\tilde \tau}_1^- + \mpT$ where the ${\tilde \tau}_1$s are long-lived and can produce heavily ionizing charged tracks. This signal is free of any Standard Model background and the supersymmetric backgrounds are small. Such a signal can be experimentally observable under certain conditions which are possible to obtain in an anomaly-mediated supersymmetry breaking scenario. Information on a particular combination of the neutrino masses and mixing angles can also be extracted through the observation of this signal. Possible modifications in the signal event and the accompanying Standard Model background have been discussed when the ${\tilde \tau}_1$s decay promptly.

We discuss the soft contribution to the elastic pion form factor with the mass evolution from current to constituent quark being taken into account using a light-front Bethe-Salpeter (LFBS) model, which is a light-front quark model (LFQM) with a running mass. It is shown that partial conservation of the axial-vector current (PCAC) is satisfied with a running quark mass. We examine the sensitivity of the pion form factor using two different functional forms of the quark propagator. The Ball-Chiu ansatz is used to maintain local gauge invariance of the quark-photon vertex. The extension of our model to the hard contribution is also discussed.

The Minimal Vector Dark Matter is a viable realization of the minimal dark matter paradigm. It extends the Standard Model by the inclusion of a vector matter field in the adjoint representation of $SU (2)_L$. The dark matter candidate corresponds to the neutral component of the new vector field ($V^0$). Previous studies have shown that the model can explain the observed dark matter abundance while evading direct and indirect searches. At colliders, the attention has been put on the production of the charged companions of the dark matter candidate. In this work, we focus on the mono-Higgs and mono-$Z$ signals at hadron colliders. The new charged vectors ($V^{\pm}$) are invisible unless a dedicated search is performed. Consequently, we assume that the mono-Higgs and mono-$Z$ processes correspond the $pp\rightarrow h V^{+,0} V^{-,0}$ and $pp\rightarrow Z V^{+,0} V^{-,0}$ reactions, respectively. We show that, while the $p p \rightarrow h V^{+,0} V^{-,0}$ is more important, both channels may produce significant signals at the HL-LHC and colliders running at $\sqrt{s} = 27$ TeV and $100$ TeV, probing almost the complete parameter space.

The Minimal Vector Dark Matter is a viable realization of the minimal dark matter paradigm. It extends the Standard Model by the inclusion of a vector matter field in the adjoint representation of $SU (2)_L$. The dark matter candidate corresponds to the neutral component of the new vector field ($V^0$). Previous studies have shown that the model can explain the observed dark matter abundance while evading direct and indirect searches. At colliders, the attention has been put on the production of the charged companions of the dark matter candidate. In this work, we focus on the mono-Higgs and mono-$Z$ signals at hadron colliders. The new charged vectors ($V^{\pm}$) are invisible unless a dedicated search is performed. Consequently, we assume that the mono-Higgs and mono-$Z$ processes correspond the $pp\rightarrow h V^{+,0} V^{-,0}$ and $pp\rightarrow Z V^{+,0} V^{-,0}$ reactions, respectively. We show that, while the $p p \rightarrow h V^{+,0} V^{-,0}$ is more important, both channels may produce significant signals at the HL-LHC and colliders running at $\sqrt{s} = 27$ TeV and $100$ TeV, probing almost the complete parameter space.

Quark nuggets are a candidate for dark matter consistent with the Standard Model. Previous models of quark nuggets have investigated properties arising from their being composed of strange, up, and down quarks and have not included any effects caused by their self-magnetic field. However, Tatsumi found that the core of a magnetar star may be a quark nugget in a ferromagnetic state with core magnetic field B between $10^{ 11}$ T and $10^{ 13}$ T. We apply Tatsumi$'$s result to quark-nugget dark-matter and report results on aggregation of magnetized quark nuggets (MQNs) after formation from the quark-gluon plasma until expansion of the universe freezes out the mass distribution to include $10^{ -24}$ kg to $10^{ 14}$ kg. Aggregation overcomes weak-interaction decay. Computed mass distributions show MQNs are consistent with requirements for dark matter and indicate that geologic detectors (craters in peat bogs) and space-based detectors (satellites measuring radio-frequency emissions after passage through normal matter) should be able to detect MQN dark matter. Null and positive observations narrow the range of a key parameter B to between $10^{ 11}$ T and 3 $10^{ 13}$ T.

The cosmic ray interaction event generator Sibyll is widely used in extensive air shower simulations. We describe in detail the properties of Sibyll 2.1 and the differences with the original version 1.7. The major structural improvements are the possibility to have multiple soft interactions, introduction of new parton density functions, and an improved treatment of diffraction. Sibyll 2.1 gives better agreement with fixed target and collider data, especially for the inelastic cross sections and multiplicities of secondary particles. Shortcomings and suggestions for future improvements are also discussed.

We propose a minimal extension of the standard model by including a $U(1)$ flavor symmetry to establish a correlation between the relic abundance of dark matter, measured by WMAP and PLANCK satellite experiments and non-zero value of $\sin \theta_{13}$ observed at DOUBLE CHOOZ, Daya Bay, RENO and T2K. The flavour symmetry is allowed to be broken at a high scale to a remnant $\mathcal{Z}_2$ symmetry, which not only ensures the stability to the dark matter, but also gives rise to a modification to the existing $A_4$-based tri-bimaximal neutrino mixing. This deviation in turn suggests the required non-zero value of $\sin \theta_{13}$. We assume the dark matter to be neutral under the existing $A_4$ symmetry while charged under the $U(1)$ flavor symmetry. Hence in this set-up, the non-zero value of $\sin \theta_{13}$ predicts the dark matter charge under $U(1)$, which can be tested at various ongoing and future direct and collider dark matter search experiments. We also point out the involvement of nonzero leptonic CP phase $\delta$, which plays an important role in the analysis.

The $U(1)_{B-L}$ gauge symmetry is a promising extension of the standard model of particle physics, which is supposed to be broken at some high energy scale. Associated with the $U(1)_{B-L}$ gauge symmetry breaking, right-handed neutrinos acquire their Majorana masses and then tiny light neutrino masses are generated through the seesaw mechanism. In this paper, we demonstrate that the first-order phase transition of the $U(1)_{B-L}$ gauge symmetry breaking can generate a large amplitude of stochastic gravitational wave (GW) radiation for some parameter space of the model, which is detectable in future experiments. Therefore, the detection of GWs is an interesting strategy to probe the seesaw scale which can be much higher than the energy scale of collider experiments.

In this paper, we evaluate and analyze hard photons flow emission at $s\bar b\to\gamma g$ quarks system interaction in annihilation processes due to a quantum field theory in high energy physics. Two quantum wave vectors are assumed to localize quark and anti-quark in quantum space for higher thermal energy system. Quantum postulate theory and perturbative theory take into account the photonic flow emission rate that gets produced according to quantum model. The photonic flow rate is evaluated depending on physical parameters: activation coupling strength, electric charge of quark system, fugacity, transition momentum, quantum color number, photonic energies, total charge quark system, Euler factor, critical temperature and temperature of the quarks system. The photonic flow rate for $s\bar b\to\gamma g$ quarks system production in one loop Annihilation processes depends on the activation coupling strength, thermal energy, critical temperature, and fugacity. The rate increases with decreases in activation coupling strength and the critical temperature and with increases in the temperature and vice versa. However, the photonic flow rate increases with the fugacity at one-loop based on Juttner distribution and vice versa.

We attempt to describe soft hadron interactions in the framework of saturation models, one based upon the Balitsky-Kovchegov non-linear equation and another one due to Golec-Biernat and W\"{u}sthoff. For $pp$, $Kp$, and $\pi p$ scattering the relevant hadronic wave functions are formulated, and total, elastic cross-sections, and the forward elastic slope are calculated and compared to experimental data. The saturation mechanism leads to reasonable reproduction of the data for the quantities analyzed, except for the forward elastic slope, where the predicted increase with energy is too moderate.

We study the subleading corrections originating from the 3-parton (q\bar q g) Fock states of final-state mesons in B decays. The corrections could give significant contributions to decays involving an \omega or \eta^{(\prime)} in the final states. Our results indicate the similarity of \omega K and \omega \pi^- rates, of order 5\times 10^{-6}, consistent with the recent measurements. We obtain a_2(B\to J/\psi K)\approx 0.27+0.05i, in good agreement with data. Without resorting to the unknown singlet annihilation effects, 3-parton Fock state contributions can enhance the branching ratios of K\eta' to the level above 50\times 10^{-6}.

If neutral Higgs bosons will be discovered at the CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC) then an important subsequent issue will be the investigation of their CP nature. Higgs boson decays into tau lepton pairs are particularly suited in this respect. Analyzing the three charged pion decay modes of the tau leptons and taking expected measurement uncertainties at the LHC into account, we show that the CP properties of a Higgs boson can be pinned down with appropriately chosen observables, provided that sufficiently large event numbers will eventually be available.

In relativistic frameworks, given by the Bethe-Salpeter and light-front bound state equations, the binding energies of system of three scalar particles interacting by scalar exchange particles are calculated. In contrast to two-body systems, the three-body binding energies obtained in these two approaches differ significantly from each other: the ladder kernel in light-front dynamics underbinds by approximately a factor of two compared to the ladder Bethe-Salpeter equation. By taking into account three-body forces in the light-front approach, generated by two exchange particles in flight, we find that most of this difference disappears; for small exchange masses, the obtained binding energies coincide with each other.

We prove that, in fact, the general Lorentz-invariant and $U(1)_\em$ invariant but {\it not} $SU_L(2)\times U_Y(1)$ invariant action is equivalent to the general lagrangian in which $SU_L(2)\times U_Y(1)$ appears but is nonlinearly realized. We demonstrate this equivalence in an explicit calculation, and show how it is reconciled with loop calculations in which the different formulations can (superficially) appear to give different answers. In this sense any effective theory containing light spin-one particles is seen to be automatically gauge invariant.

We consider the thermodynamics of three-flavor QCD in the pion-condensed phase at nonzero isospin chemical potential ($\mu_I$) and vanishing temperature using chiral perturbation theory in the isospin limit. The transition from the vacuum phase to a superfluid phase with a Bose-Einstein condensate of charged pions is shown to be second order and takes place at $\mu_I=m_{\pi}$. We calculate the pressure, isospin density, and energy density to next-to-leading order in the low-energy expansion. Our results are compared with recent high-precision lattice simulations as well as previously obtained results in two-flavor chiral perturbation theory. The agreement between the lattice results and the predictions from three-flavor chiral perturbation theory is very good for $\mu_I<200$ MeV. For larger values of $\mu_I$, the agreement between lattice data and the two-flavor predictions is surprisingly good and better than with the three-flavor predictions. Finally, in the limit $m_{s}\gg m_{u}=m_{d}$, we show that the three-flavor observables reduce to the two-flavor observables with renormalized parameters. The disagreement between the results for two-flavor and three-flavor $\chi$PT can largely be explained by the differences in the measured low-energy constants.

We construct large-N_c motivated approximate chiral SU(3) amplitudes of next-to-next-to-leading order. The amplitudes are independent of the renormalization scale. Fitting lattice data with those amplitudes allows for the extraction of chiral coupling constants with the correct scale dependence. The differences between approximate and full amplitudes are required to be at most of the order of N^3LO contributions numerically. Applying the approximate expressions to recent lattice data for meson decay constants, we determine several chiral couplings with good precision. In particular, we obtain a value for F_0, the meson decay constant in the chiral SU(3) limit, that is more precise than all presently available determinations.

The existing inclusive electroproduction data base allow us a look at the issue of the relative behaviors of background and resonance excitations, a part of the Bloom-Gilman duality. These data lack accuracy at high Q^2, but establish PQCD scaling in the resonance region and even allow us a glimpse at the leading logarithmic corrections due to the gluon radiation and its possible quenching at large W and x. These should inspire better quality experimental tests at facilities like CEBAF II.

The constrained minimal supersymmetric standard model with mu>0 supplemented by an `asymptotic' Yukawa coupling quasi-unification condition, which allows an acceptable b-quark mass, is reinvestigated. Imposing updated constraints from the cold dark matter abundance in the universe, B physics, the muon anomalous magnetic moment, and the mass mh of the lightest neutral CP-even Higgs boson, we find that the allowed parameter space is quite limited but not unnaturally small with the cold dark matter abundance suppressed only via neutralino-stau coannihilations. The lightest neutralino with mass in the range (341-677) GeV is possibly detectable in the future direct cold dark matter searches via its spin-independent cross section with nucleon. In the allowed parameter space of the model, we obtain mh=(117-122.2) GeV.

A mistake in our published work (Physical Review C60 (1999) 064902) is corrected. The correct dependence of the fractional induced loss $R(\theta_{{\rm cone}})$ as a universal function of the variable $\theta^2_{{\rm cone}} L^3 \hat q$ where $L$ is the size of the medium and $\hat q$ the transport coefficient is presented. We add the proof that the radiated gluon momentum spectrum derived in our formalism is equivalent with the one derived in the Zakharov-Wiedemann approach.

Scalar MSSM Higgs boson production via gluon fusion gg -> h,H is mediated by heavy quark and squark loops. The higher order QCD corrections to these processes turn out to be large. The full supersymmetric QCD corrections have been calculated recently. In the limit of large SUSY masses a conceptual problem appears, i.e. the proper treatment of the large gluino mass limit. In this work we will describe the consistent decoupling of heavy gluino effects and derive the effective Lagrangian for decoupled gluinos.

The Higgs boson, which was discovered at CERN in 2012, stands out as a remarkable elementary particle with distinct characteristics. Unlike any other observed particle, it possesses zero spin within the Standard Model (SM) of particle physics. Theoretical predictions had anticipated the existence of this scalar boson, postulating its interaction with the $W$ and $Z$ bosons as well as through Yukawa interactions with fermions. Furthermore the Higgs boson can interact with itself, commonly referred to as the Higgs self-interaction. In this review, the current state of experimental and theoretical investigations of Higgs boson production at the LHC and the ongoing efforts to unravel its properties are described, and an up-to-date assessment of our understanding of the Higgs sector of the SM is provided.

We predict W and Z transverse momentum distributions from proton-proton and nuclear collisions at RHIC and LHC. A resummation formalism with power corrections to the renormalization group equations is used. The dependence of the resummed QCD results on the non-perturbative input is very weak for the systems considered. Shadowing effects are discussed and found to be unimportant at RHIC, but important for LHC. We study the enhancement of power corrections due to multiple scattering in nuclear collisions and numerically illustrate the weak effects of the dependence on the nuclear mass.

In this review, we discuss recent developments concerning efficient calculations of multi-loop multi-leg scattering amplitudes. Inspired by the remarkable properties of the Loop-Tree Duality (LTD), we explain how to reconstruct an integrand level representation of scattering amplitudes which only contains physical singularities. These so-called causal representations can be derived from connected binary partitions of Feynman diagrams, properly entangled according to specific rules. We will focus on the detection of flux orientations which are compatible with causality, describing the implementation of a quantum algorithm to identify such configurations.

The standard Hartree--Fock approximation of the $O(N)-$invariant $\phi^4$ model suffers from serious renormalization problems. In addition, when the symmetry is spontaneously broken, another shortcoming appears in relation to the Goldstone bosons: they fail to be massless in the intermediate states. In this work, within the framework of out--of--equilibrium Quantum Field Theory, we propose a class of systematic improvements of the Hartree--Fock resummation which overcomes all the above mentioned difficulties while ensuring also exact Renormalization--Group invariance to one loop.

In this paper we describe a renormalon-inspired model of twist--4 power corrections to the light-cone pion distribution amplitude, and compare it to the results obtained using the conformal wave expansion. We find that the overall functional form predicted in this renormalon model is similar to the one predicted in the standard approach to higher twist contributions involving an expansion in conformal operators. However, small discrepancies at the end-points allow for a discussion on the convergence properties of the conformal expansion.

We revisit the sensitivity to non-resonant, heavy Majorana neutrinos $N$ in same-sign $W^\pm W^\pm$ scattering at the $\sqrt{s}=13$ TeV LHC and its high-luminosity upgrade. As a benchmark scenario, we work in the context of the Phenomenological Type I Seesaw model, relying on a simulation up to next-to-leading order in QCD with parton shower matching. After extensively studying the phenomenology of the $pp\to\mu^\pm\mu^\pm j j$ process at the amplitude and differential levels, we design a simple collider analysis with remarkable signal-background separation power. At 95\% confidence level we find that the squared muon-heavy neutrino mixing element $\vert V_{\mu N} \vert^{2}$ can be probed down to about $0.06-0.3 ~ (0.03-0.1)$ for $m_N = 1-10~{\rm TeV}$ with $\mathcal{L}=300$ fb$^{-1}~(3$ ab$^{-1})$. For heavier masses of $m_N = 20~{\rm TeV}$, we report sensitivity for $\vert V_{\mu N} \vert^{2}\gtrsim 0.5~(0.3)$. The $W^\pm W^\pm$ scattering channel can greatly extend the mass range covered by current LHC searches for heavy Majorana neutrinos and particularly adds invaluable sensitivity above a few hundred GeV. We comment on areas where the analysis can be improved as well as on the applicability to other tests of neutrino mass models.

We consider hyperfine splitting of 1s and, in part, of 2s levels in light hydrogen-like atoms: hydrogen, deuterium, tritium, helium-3 ion, muonium and positronium. We discuss present status of precision theory and experiment for the hfs intervals. We pay a special attention to a specific difference, D_{21} = 8 E_{hfs}(2s) - E_{hfs}(1s), which is known experimentally for hydrogen, deuterium and ^3He^+ ion. The difference is weakly affected by the effects of the nuclear structure and thus may be calculated with a high accuracy. We complete a calculation of the fourth order QED contributions to this difference and present here new results on corrections due to the nuclear effects. Our theoretical predictions appear to be in a fair agreement with available experimental data. Comparison of the experimental data with our examination of D_{21} allows to test the state-dependent sector of theory of the hfs separation of the 1s and 2s levels in the light hydrogen-like atoms up to 10^-8.

The most recent results from direct searches for dark matter particles in the galactic halo are examined in terms of an effective Minimal Supersymmetric extension of the Standard Model at the electroweak scale without gaugino masses unification. We show that the annual modulation effect at 8.2 $\sigma$ C.L. recently presented by the DAMA Collaboration, as the result of a combined analysis of the DAMA/NaI and the DAMA/LIBRA experiments for a total exposure of 0.82 ton yr, fits remarkably well with what expected for relic neutralinos for a wide variety of WIMP distribution functions. Bounds derivable from other measurements of direct searches for dark matter particles are analyzed. We stress the role played by the uncertainties affecting the neutralino--quark couplings arising from the involved hadronic quantities. We also examine how present data on cosmic antiprotons can help in constraining the neutralino configurations selected by the DAMA effect, in connection with the values of the astrophysical parameters. Perspectives for measurement of antideuterons possibly produced in the galactic halo by self--annihilation of neutralinos belonging to the DAMA configurations are examined. Finally, we discuss how findings at LHC would impact on these issues.

We analyse here some programming tools (MC-generators) from viewpoint of their application to the tasks of dark matter (DM) interpretation of cosmic rays puzzles. We shortly describe our tasks, where the main goal is the solution of the problem of suppression of gamma-rays induced by the products of DM decay or annihilation in Galaxy. We show that existing MC-generators do not fully satisfy our task, comparing them, and suggest our own one.

We present results for the next-to-leading order QCD corrections to the production and semi-leptonic decays of a top quark pair in hadron collisions, retaining all spin correlations. To evaluate the virtual corrections, we employ generalized D-dimensional unitarity. The computation is implemented in a numerical program which allows detailed studies of ttbar-related observables at the Tevatron and the LHC.

In this proceedings report, we discuss unique features of charmed, or in general heavy, baryons with one heavy quark. A well and long-term known phenomena, the distinction of the two modes of the rho and lambda type of a three-quark system is revisited. The difference of these modes may be tested in the production and decay reactions of the baryons which may be tested in the future experiments at J-PARC.

We use the known soft and collinear limits of tree- and one-loop scattering amplitudes -- computed over a decade ago -- to explicitly construct a subtraction scheme for next-to-next-to-leading order (NNLO) computations. Our approach combines partitioning of the final-state phase space together with the technique of sector decomposition, following recent suggestions in Ref. [1]. We apply this scheme to a toy example: the NNLO QED corrections to the decay of the Z boson to a pair of massless leptons. We argue that the main features of this subtraction scheme remain valid for computations of processes of arbitrary complexity with NNLO accuracy.

We examine the discovery potential for SUSY new physics at a p{\bar p} collider upgrade of Tevatron with \sqrt s = 5.4 TeV and luminosity L ~= 4\times 10^{32} cm^{-2}s^{-1} (the Tripler). We consider the reach for gluinos and squarks using the experimental signatures with large missing transverse energy (\met) of jets + \met and 1l + jets + \met (where l=electron or muon) within the framework of minimal supergravity. The Tripler's strongest reach for the gluino is 1060 GeV for the jets + \met channel and 1140 GeV for the 1l + jets + \met channel for 30 fb^{-1} of integrated luminosity (approximately two years running time). This is to be compared with the Tevatron where the reach is 440(460) GeV in the jets + \met channel for 15(30) fb^{-1} of integrated luminosity.

We report on a study of CP Violation in D0-D0bar mixing and Electric Dipole Moments in the framework of supersymmetric alignment models. Both classes of observables are strongly suppressed in the Standard Model and highly sensitive to new sources of flavor and CP violation that can be present in models of New Physics. Supersymmetric alignment models generically predict large non-standard effects in D0-D0bar mixing and we show that visible CP violation in D0-D0bar mixing implies lower bounds for the EDMs of hadronic systems, like the neutron EDM and the mercury EDM, in the reach of future experimental sensitivities. We also give updated constraints on the mass insertions of the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model using the current data on D0-D0bar mixing.
