the difference between the two theta angles physical and the sum unphysical.
Two models are presented where the anomalous symmetry manifests itself in the

this model, the $\eta'$ boson relaxes the QCD theta angle to the difference

proposed LHeC, with $\sqrt s \approx 1.3$ TeV, in the 2HDM Type-III, assuming a
four-zero texture in the Yukawa matrices and a general Higgs potential. We
consider theoretically consistent scenarios in agreement with current
experimental data from flavor and Higgs physics. We investigate the charged
current production process $\nu_e \phi q$ in presence of flavor violating
decays of the Higgs bosons, that lead to a 3-jets + $E\!\!\!\!/_T$ signature.
We demand exactly two jets, one tagged $b$-jet and one light-flavor jet, all in
the central rapidity region. The remaining jet (originated by the remanent
quark $q$) is tagged in the forward or backward regions and this together with
a central jet veto (not more than one light-flavor jet) are essential
criterions to enhance the signal--to--background rates. We consider the most
relevant Standard Model (SM) backgrounds, treating $c$-jets separately from
light-flavor and gluon ones, while allowing for mis-tagging. We find that the
SM-like Higgs boson, $h$, would be accessible within several parameter
configurations of our model at approximately the 1-2$\sigma$ level with 100
fb$^{-1}$ of data. We also find that the heaviest neutral Higgs boson, $H$,
with mass up to 150 GeV, would have a 1$\sigma$ significance for the same data
sample. At the end of the LHeC running, one would have ten times data
accumulation and for all the Higgs masses the significances are enhanced so as
to allow for detection of both the $h$ and $H$ state. Hence, one of the most
viable extensions of 2HDMs with FCNC's generated at tree level but controlled
by a four-zero texture approach in the Yukawa matrices, as opposed to the
adoption of ad hoc discrete symmetries, could be put under scrutiny at a future
LHeC.

exhibit a warm dark matter (WDM) production mechanism -- dilution of thermal

a singular see-saw mechanism when the left-chiral neutrinos possess a non-zero
Majorana mass matrix. We refer to this as the type-II singular see-saw
mechanism. The resulting neutrino spectrum is found to be sensitive to the
hierarchy of the Dirac and Majorana mass scales used and we explore the
phenomenological consequences of the candidate hierarchies. The compatibility
of the resulting spectra with the body of neutrino oscillation data is
discussed. It is found that neutrino mass matrices with this structure result
in 3+1 or 2+2 neutrino spectra, making it unlikely that this mass matrix
structure is realized in nature. If the left-chiral Majorana mass matrix is
also singular we show that a type-II singular see-saw mechanism can realize a
spectrum of one active-sterile pseudo-Dirac neutrino in conjunction with two
active Majorana neutrinos effectively decoupled from the sterile sector. This

particular, we identify temperatures of $\sim 20~\mathrm{keV}/k_B$ and field
intensities of $\sim 10^{23}~\mathrm{Wcm}^{-2}$ where pair production would be
observable. In this case, the thermal enhancement over the Schwinger rate is
exponentially large and due to effects which are not visible at any finite
order in the loop expansion. Pair production in this regime can thus be
described as more nonperturbative than the usual Schwinger process, which
appears at one loop. Unfortunately, such high temperatures appear to be out of
reach of foreseeable technologies, though nonthermal photon distributions with
comparable energy densities are possible. We suggest the possibility that
similar nonperturbative enhancements may extend out of equilibrium and propose
an experimental scheme to test this.

real ground state is known as ``false vacuum decay'' and it takes place via the
nucleation of spatially localized bubbles. Despite the large theoretical effort
to estimate the nucleation rate, experimental observations were still missing.
Here, we observe bubble nucleation in isolated and highly controllable
superfluid atomic systems, and we find good agreement between our results,
numerical simulations and instanton theory opening the way to the emulation of
out-of-equilibrium quantum field phenomena in atomic systems.

] | In quantum field theory, the decay of an extended metastable state into the real ground state is known as ``false vacuum decay'' and it takes place via the nucleation of spatially localized bubbles. Despite the large theoretical effort to estimate the nucleation rate, experimental observations were still missing. Here, we observe bubble nucleation in isolated and highly controllable superfluid atomic systems, and we find good agreement between our results, numerical simulations and instanton theory opening the way to the emulation of out-of-equilibrium quantum field phenomena in atomic systems. |

clarifying the foundations of the hierarchy problem. After introducing
effective field theory, we discuss renormalization at length from a variety of

background we can then clearly understand the hierarchy problem, which is
reviewed primarily by introducing and refuting common misconceptions thereof.
We next discuss some of the beautiful classic frameworks to approach the issue.
However, we argue that the LHC data have qualitatively modified the issue into
`The Loerarchy Problem'---how to generate an IR scale without accompanying
visible structure---and we discuss recent work on this approach. In the second
half, we present some of our own work in these directions, beginning with
explorations of how the Neutral Naturalness approach motivates novel signatures
of electroweak naturalness at a variety of physics frontiers. Finally, we
propose a New Trail for Naturalness and suggest that the physical breakdown of
EFT, which gravity demands, may be responsible for the violation of our EFT
expectations at the LHC.

long-lasting muon MDM discrepancy which is about $\sim3.7\sigma$, it is
difficult to explain both the magnitude and opposite signs of the deviations in

] | Big-Bang nucleosynthesis (BBN) represents one of the earliest phenomena that can lead to observational constraints on the early Universe properties. It is well-known that many important mechanisms and phase transitions occurred before BBN. We discuss the possibility of gaining insight into the primordial Universe through studies of dark matter in cosmology, astroparticle physics and colliders. For this purpose, we assume that dark matter is a thermal relic, and show that combining collider searches with dark matter observables can lead to strong constraints on the period of freeze-out before BBN. |

holographic QCD | null | null | 10.1103/PhysRevD.105.026020 | null | hep-ph | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ | We study the spectra of two-gluon glueballs and three-gluon oddballs and
corresponding equation of state in $5$-dimensional deformed holographic QCD
models in the graviton-dilaton system, where the metric, the dilaton field and
dilaton potential are self-consistently solved from each other through the
Einstein field equations and the equation of motion of the dilaton field. We
compare the models by inputting the dilaton field, inputting the deformed
metric and inputting the dilaton potential, and find that with only 2
parameters, the $5$-dimensional holographic QCD model predictions on
glueballs/oddballs spectra in general are in good agreement with lattice
results except two oddballs $0^{+-}$ and $2^{+-}$. From the results of
glueballs/oddballs spectra at zero temperature and the equation of state at
finite temperature, we observe that the model with quadratic dilaton field can
simultaneously describe glueballs/oddballs spectra as well as equation of state
of pure gluon system. The model with quadratic $A_{E}(z)$ can describe
glueballs/oddballs spectra, but its corresponding equation of state behaves
more like $N_{f}=2+1$ quark matter. These are consistent with dimension
analysis at UV boundary.

turned out to be one of the prime candidates for an exotic state in the
charmonium spectrum. It was recently proposed that the $Y(4260)$ should have a
prominent $D_1\bar{D}+c.c.$ molecular component that is strongly correlated
with the production of the charged $Z_c(3900)$. In this paper we demonstrate
that the nontrivial cross section line shapes of $e^+e^-\to J/\psi\pi\pi$ and
$h_c\pi\pi$ can be naturally explained by the molecular scenario. As a
consequence we find a significantly smaller mass for the $Y(4260)$ than
previous studied. In the $e^+e^-\to \bar D D^*\pi+c.c.$ process, with the
inclusion of an additional $S$-wave $\bar D^*\pi$ contribution constrained
from data on the $D\bar D^*$ invariant mass distribution, we obtain a good
agreement with the data of the angular distributions. We also predict an
unusual line shape of $Y(4260)$ in this channel that may serve as a smoking gun
for a predominantly molecular nature of $Y(4260)$. Improved measurements of
these observables are therefore crucial for a better understanding of the
structure of this famous resonance.

depend only on the mass-squared differences. However, the presence of scalar
non-standard interactions can introduce sub-dominant terms in the oscillation
Hamiltonian that can directly affect the neutrino mass matrix and thereby
making scalar NSI a unique tool for neutrino mass measurements. In this work,
for the first time, we constrain the absolute masses of neutrinos by probing
scalar NSI. We show that a bound on the lightest neutrino mass can be induced
in the presence of scalar NSI at DUNE. We find that the lightest neutrino mass
can be best constrained with $\eta_{\tau\tau}$ and $\eta_{\mu\mu}$ at $2\sigma$
C.L. for normal and inverted hierarchy respectively. This study suggests that
scalar NSI can serve as an interesting avenue to constrain the absolute
neutrino masses in long-baseline neutrino experiments via neutrino
oscillations.

hadrocharmonium and molecular scenarios. In both pictures the LHCb pentaquarks
are essentially nonrelativistic bound states. We develop a semirelativistic
framework for calculation of the partial decay widths that allows the final
particles to be relativistic. Using this approach we calculate the decay widths
in the hadrocharmonium and molecular pictures. Molecular hidden charm
pentaquarks are constructed as loosely bound states of charmed and anticharmed
hadrons. Calculations show that molecular pentaquarks decay predominantly into
states with open charm. Strong suppression of the molecular pentaquark decays
into states with hidden charm is qualitatively explained by a relatively large
size of the molecular pentaquark. The decay pattern of hadrocharmonium
pentaquarks that are interpreted as loosely bound states of excited charmonium
$\psi'$ and nucleons is quite different. This time dominate decays into states
with hidden charm, but suppression of the decays with charm exchange is weaker
than in the respective molecular case. The weaker suppression is explained by a
larger binding energy and respectively smaller size of the hadrocharmonium
pentaquarks. These results combined with the experimental data on partial decay
widths could allow to figure out which of the two theoretical scenarios for
pentaquarks (if either) is chosen by nature.

] | We consider decays of the hidden charm LHCb pentaquarks in the hadrocharmonium and molecular scenarios. In both pictures the LHCb pentaquarks are essentially nonrelativistic bound states. We develop a semirelativistic framework for calculation of the partial decay widths that allows the final particles to be relativistic. Using this approach we calculate the decay widths in the hadrocharmonium and molecular pictures. Molecular hidden charm pentaquarks are constructed as loosely bound states of charmed and anticharmed hadrons. Calculations show that molecular pentaquarks decay predominantly into states with open charm. Strong suppression of the molecular pentaquark decays into states with hidden charm is qualitatively explained by a relatively large size of the molecular pentaquark. The decay pattern of hadrocharmonium pentaquarks that are interpreted as loosely bound states of excited charmonium $\psi'$ and nucleons is quite different. This time dominate decays into states with hidden charm, but suppression of the decays with charm exchange is weaker than in the respective molecular case. The weaker suppression is explained by a larger binding energy and respectively smaller size of the hadrocharmonium pentaquarks. These results combined with the experimental data on partial decay widths could allow to figure out which of the two theoretical scenarios for pentaquarks (if either) is chosen by nature. |

this is often done by fitting data to a simulation, which depends on many
parameters. Sometimes, when the effects of varying different parameters are
highly correlated, a large ensemble of data may be needed to resolve
parameter-space degeneracies. An important example is measuring the top-quark
mass, where other physical and unphysical parameters in the simulation must be
marginalized over when fitting the top-quark mass parameter. We compare three
different methodologies for top-quark mass measurement: a classical histogram
fitting procedure, similar to one commonly used in experiment optionally
augmented with soft-drop jet grooming; a machine-learning method called DCTR;
and a linear regression approach, either using a least-squares fit or with a
dense linearly-activated neural network. Despite the fact that individual
events are totally uncorrelated, we find that the linear regression methods
work most effectively when we input an ensemble of events sorted by mass,
rather than training them on individual events. Although all methods provide
robust extraction of the top-quark mass parameter, the linear network does
marginally best and is remarkably simple. For the top study, we conclude that
the Monte-Carlo-based uncertainty on current extractions of the top-quark mass
from LHC data can be reduced significantly (by perhaps a factor of 2) using
networks trained on sorted event ensembles. More generally, machine learning
from ensembles for parameter estimation has broad potential for collider

clear bump or excess in the ttbar or dijet mass spectra, it may also simply be
too broad to cleanly observe. Here, we point out that broad ttbar resonances
generally lead to net top and antitop polarizations transverse to the
production plane. This polarization is consistent with all discrete spacetime
symmetries, and, analogous to the forward-backward asymmetry itself, is absent

Here, we point out that broad ttbar resonances generally lead to net top and antitop polarizations transverse to the production plane. This polarization is consistent with all discrete spacetime symmetries, and, analogous to the forward-backward asymmetry itself, is absent in QCD at leading order. Within the parameter space consistent with the asymmetry measurements, the induced polarization can be sizable, and might be observable at the Tevatron or the LHC. |

distribution of $J/\psi$ in hadron gas is influenced by flow, quantum and
strong interaction effects. Previous models have predominantly focused on one

of unconsidered effects in the fitted parameters. Here, we study the issue from
a new point of view by analyzing the fact that all three effects induce a
self-similarity structure, involving a $J/\psi$-$\pi$ two-meson state and a
$J/\psi$, $\pi$ two-quark state, respectively. We introduce modification factor
$q_{TBS}$ and $q_2$ into the probability and entropy of charmonium. $q_{TBS}$
denotes the modification of self-similarity on $J/\psi$, $q_2$ denotes that of
self-similarity and strong interaction between \emph{c }and $\bar{c}$ on
quarks. By solving the probability and entropy equations, we derive the values
of $q_{TBS}$ and $q_2$ at various collision energies and centralities.
Substituting the value of $q_{TBS}$ into distribution function, we successfully
obtain the transverse momentum spectrum of low-$p_T$ $J/\psi$, which
demonstrates good agreement with experimental data. The STF model can be
employed to investigate other mesons and resonance states.

By paying a fine-tuning price to nullify the mass gap, one can also invoke $\nu_e \to \nu_{\mu,\tau}$ for the solar problem. The model predicts a new intermediate range force mediated by the light gauge boson of $U(1)_{L_{\mu}-L_{\tau}}$. Through the mixing of $\mu$, $\tau$ and $e$, this force couples to electrons and thus may be searched for in precision ``gravity'' experiments. |

high energy Standard Model or Beyond the Standard Model explanation is
challenging and in tension with other experiments. We study under which
conditions the reflection of generic radio pulses can reproduce these signals.
We propose that these pulses can be resonantly produced in the ionosphere via
axion-photon conversion. This naturally explains the direction and polarization
of the events and avoids other experimental bounds.
