We sketch how the R*-operation can be used to compute the pole terms of Feynman diagrams. We identify computational difficulties when performing five-loop calculations, and provide four solutions that drastically reduce the number of terms that are generated. Using these methods, we have computed the beta function for Yang-Mills theory with fermions, the R-ratio in electron-positron annihilation, and Higgs decays to quarks and gluons at five-loop accuracy. The results for the beta function and Higgs decay width to gluons in the heavy-top limit are briefly discussed. There is no need for six-loop extensions of these calculations in the near future.

We apply a classical mathematical problem, the moment problem, with its related mathematical achievements, to the study of the parton distribution function (PDF) in hadron physics, and propose a strategy to sieve the moments of the PDF by exploiting its properties such as continuity, unimodality, and symmetry. Through an error-inclusive sifting process, we refine three sets of PDF moments from Lattice QCD. This refinement significantly reduces the errors, particularly for higher order moments, and locates the peak of PDF simultaneously. As our strategy is universally applicable to PDF moments from any method, we strongly advocate its integration into all PDF moment calculations.

The evolution of a coherently oscillating scalar field with $Z_2$ symmetry is studied in detail. We calculate the dissipation rate of the scalar field based on the closed time path formalism. Consequently, it is shown that the energy density of the coherent oscillation can be efficiently dissipated if the coupling constant is larger than the critical value, even though the scalar particle is stable due to the $Z_2$ symmetry.

One of the most pragmatic ways to look for the effects of New Physics at low energy scales is to study a detailed angular distribution of various decay modes, and in particular those based on $b\to c\ell\bar \nu_\ell$. In this paper we focus onto $\Lambda_b \longrightarrow \Lambda_c(\to \Lambda \pi) \ell \nu$ in a generic effective theory setup in which, besides the Standard Model, we allow for all the possible covariant dimension-six effective operators capturing the contributions arising at high energy scales, beyond the Standard Model. We list a number of observables that could be used as a diagnostic tool to check for the presence of New Physics and to discriminate among its various scenarios. We also briefly comment on $\Lambda_c \to \Lambda l\nu$.

We discuss how a model for the electroweak interactions without a Higgs could be embedded into a grand unified theory. The requirement of a non-trivial fixed point in the SU(2) sector of the weak interactions together with the requirement of the numerical unification of the gauge couplings leads to a prediction for the value of the SU(2) gauge coupling in the fixed point regime. The fixed point regime must be in the TeV region to solve the unitarity problem in the elastic scattering of W bosons. We find that the unification scale is at about 10^{14} GeV. Viable grand unified theories must thus conserve baryon number. We discuss how to build such a model without using Higgs bosons.

We calculate diffractive dijet production in deep-inelastic scattering at next-to-leading order of perturbative QCD, including contributions from direct and resolved photons, and compare our predictions to preliminary data from the H1 collaboration at HERA. In contrast to recent experimental claims, evidence for factorization breaking is found only for resolved, and not direct, photon contributions. No evidence is found for large normalization uncertainties in diffractive parton densities. The results confirm theoretical expectations for the (non-)cancellation of soft singularities in diffractive scattering as well as previous results for (almost) real photoproduction.

The main perturbative contribution to the free energy of an electroweak interface is due to the effective potential and the tree level kinetic term. The derivative corrections are investigated with one-loop perturbation theory. The action is treated in derivative, in heat kernel, and in a multi local expansion. The massive contributions turn out to be well described by the Z-factor. The massless mode, plagued by infrared problems, is numerically less important. Its perturbatively reliable part can by calculated in derivative expansion as well. A self consistent way to include the Z-factor in the formula for the interface tension is presented.

The effective QCD Hamiltonian is constructed with the help of the background perturbation theory, and relativistic Feynman--Schwinger path integrals for Green's functions. The resulting spectrum displays mass gaps of the order of one GeV, when additional valence gluon is added to the bound state. Mixing between meson, hybrid, and glueball states is defined in two ways: through generalized Green's functions and via modified Feynman diagram technic giving similar answers. Results for mixing matrix elements are numerically not large (around 0.1 GeV) and agree with earlier analytic estimates and lattice simulations.

So far the analyses of the polarized structure functions of the proton and neutron have been limited to the evaluation of their integrals and comparing them to the prediction of the static quark model of the nucleon. We extended our analysis to the x dependence of the polarized structure functions and observe: the measured structure function excellently agrees with the prediction of the static quark model for Bjorken $x>0.2$ and drops rapidly for $x<0.2$. It is suggested that for Bjorken $x>0.2$ electrons get scattered on the undamaged constituent quarks (alias valence quarks) denoted as quasi-elastic scattering on the constituent quarks and for $x<0.2$ the constituent quarks fragment. In the fragmentation strong interaction is involved which does not preserve the polarization.

A non-universal $U(1)_{X}$ extension to the Standard Model composed of two scalar doublets and two scalar singlets together with three additional quark singlets and two lepton singlets and three generations of right-handed and Majorana neutrinos is made to explain lepton mass hierarchy, neutrino masses via inverse seesaw mechanism and muon anomalous magnetic moment in an anomaly free framework. In the present model, exotic and Standard Model particles acquire mass thanks to vacuum expectation values at different scales, yet the electron and the lightest neutrino are tree level massless but massive at one-loop level. By considering a numerical exploration and under the constraint of the Higgs mass, neutrino mass differences and PMNS matrix, it is found that only contributions due to exotic neutrinos interacting with charged scalars are relevant to muon $g-2$, though they are negative. Thus, the SUSY extension is considered and it is found that muon $g-2$ can be explained by allowing $U(1)_{X}$ vacuum expectation values to lie in the TeV scale thanks to SUSY soft-breaking interactions for at least $\sim 10^{5}$ GeV masses. Thus, the contribution due to exotic neutrinos interacting with $W$ gauge bosons is positive and no longer negligible which added to all other contributions might explain the anomaly.

We study CP violation in semi-leptonic $\tau$ decays and we determine the conditions necessary to be able to define a observable CP asymmetry. We apply these conditions in both models, the standard model for the electroweak interactions and its supersymmetric extensions. In the first case, the leading order contribution to the direct CP asymmetry in $\tau^{\pm} \to K^{\pm}\pi^0 \nu_{\tau}$ decay rates is evaluated. In the second case,we compute the SUSY effective hamiltonian that describes the $|\Delta S|=1$ semileptonic decays of tau leptons. We show that SUSY contributions may enhance the CP asymmetry of $\tau \to K \pi \nu_{\tau}$ decays by several orders of magnitude compared to the standard model expectations.

We derive the corresponding twist-3 cross section formula in the leading order with respect to the QCD coupling constant. As in the case of the semi-inclusive deep inelastic scattering, ep^\uparrow\to eDX, our result differs from the previous result in the literature. We also derive a "master formula" which expresses the twist-3 cross section in terms of the gg\to c\bar{c} hard scattering cross section. We present a model calculation of the asymmetry at the RHIC energy, demonstrating the sensitivity of the asymmetry on the form of the three-gluon correlation functions.

T-odd correlations in $Wj$ production at the LHC have been studied recently as a way to measure a phase produced by QCD at NLO by Frederix et. al.

In this paper we study this possibility using effective Lagrangians to describe the new physics. We find that the leading contribution arises at dimension eight, and that it necessarily introduces flavor changing neutral currents as well.

T-odd correlations in $Wj$ production at the LHC have been studied recently as a way to measure a phase produced by QCD at NLO by Frederix et. al. That study found that the induced asymmetry could be observed with 20 fb$^{-1}$ of 8 TeV data. These T-odd asymmetries can also be induced by CP violating new physics interfering with the SM at LO. In this paper we study this possibility using effective Lagrangians to describe the new physics. We find that the leading contribution arises at dimension eight, and that it necessarily introduces flavor changing neutral currents as well. We discuss the constraints that can be placed on the flavor structure of the new physics operator from studies of FCNC in kaon and B meson decays and then compare the T-odd correlations in $Wj$ induced by CP violating new physics to those induced by QCD at NLO.

The Froissart asymptotic behavior of cross-sections is usually considered in a parton picture as corresponding to the collision of two almost black disks filled with partons. In this article we mainly concentrate on the examination of the local transparency of such F-disks. We discuss how is it possible to guarantee the boost-invariance of the reciprocal transparency of two such F-disks in a process of their collision, despite the fact that the mean area of the overlapping of these F-disks at the same impact parameter is varying with the Lorentz frame. We argue that on will always have such problems, if the dominant interactions at all energies remain soft, but such a trouble can be probably avoided if the mean parton virtualities grow with energies. This last is natural in QCD, and we use the qualitative generalization of BFKL approach to estimate the distribution of hard partons with various virtualities inside a F-disk. As a result, the quasiclassical partonic wave function corresponding to the F-limit can be approximately represented by the system of enclosed parton-gluon disks with a growing virtuality and blackness. With the increase of energy the new disks with larger virtualities are created in the middle of the previous disks, and then they expand with the same transverse velocity.

The soft pion theorem in the inclusive reaction at high energy applied to the current induced reaction is explained briefly. A characteristic aspect of this theorem is the charge asymmetry produced by the pole terms in the soft pion limit. The pion charge asymmetry in the central region in the target-virtual-photon center of the mass (CM) frame of the semi-inclusive electroproduction and the contribution to the Gottfried sum are illustrated as examples.

We investigate neutral quark matter with homogeneous and inhomogeneous color condensates at finite temperature in the frame of an extended NJL model. By calculating the Meissner masses squared and gap susceptibility, the uniform color superconductor is stable only in a temperature window close to the critical temperature and becomes unstable against LOFF phase, mixed phase and gluonic phase at low temperatures. The introduction of the inhomogeneous phases leads to disappearance of the strange intermediate temperature 2SC/g2SC and changes the phase diagram of neutral dense quark matter significantly.

The production of particle-antiparticle pairs from the quantum field theoretic ground state in the presence of an external electric field is studied. Starting with the quantum kinetic Boltzmann-Vlasov equation in four-dimensional spacetime, we obtain the corresponding equations in lower dimensionalities by way of spatial compactification. Our outcomes in $2+1$-dimensions are applied to bandgap graphene layers, where the charge carriers have the particular property of behaving like light massive Dirac fermions. We calculate the single-particle distribution function for the case of an electric field oscillating in time and show that the creation of particle-hole pairs in this condensed matter system closely resembles electron-positron pair production by the Schwinger effect.

In this work we study the effect of R parity breaking couplings on the process e^-e^-->{\tilde e}_L{\tilde e}_R. We find that an e^-e^- linear collider opearting at a center of mass energy of 500 Gev with a luminosity of 50 fb^{-1} will be able to probe the coupling [\lambda_{211}+\lambda_{311}]^{1/2} down to .045 for a bino mass of 100 Gev and selectron mass of 200 Gev. This would improve the current bound on it by a factor of 3.5. More improved bounds can be obtained from precision measurement of \sigma_{LR}-\sigma_{RR} which reduces the MSSM background.

We examine the current lower bound on the charged Higgs boson mass in the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model. By applying direct search constraints on the neutral Higgs bosons and other supersymmetric states, as well as a number of indirect constraints (b -> s gamma, B_s -> mu mu, B -> tau nu, B -> D tau nu), we find that it is possible to push the charged Higgs boson mass as low as 140 GeV. We work in a completely low-energy approach with no assumptions about scalar mass unification, examining two of the most popular limits for neutral Higgs boson searches: the Max-Mixing and No-Mixing scenarios. While both scenarios allow light charged Higgs bosons, they do so for completely different ranges of tan(beta). In either case, one expects light top squarks to accompany a light charged Higgs.

Bosonization of the two-dimensional QCD in the large N_C limit is performed in the framework of Hamiltonian approach in the Coulomb gauge. The generalized Bogoliubov transformation is applied to diagonalize the Hamiltonian in the bosonic sector of the theory, and the composite operators creating/annihilating bosons are obtained in terms of dressed quark operators. The bound state equation is reconstructed as a result of the generalized Bogoliubov transformation, and the form of its massless solution, chiral pion, is found explicitly. Chiral properties of the theory are discussed.

We survey the lepton flavor violation branching ratios Br(mu->e,gamma), Br(tau->mu,gamma), and Br(tau->e,gamma) in mSUGRA for a broad class of lepton mass matrix textures that give nearly tribimaximal lepton mixing. Small neutrino masses are generated by the type-I seesaw mechanism with non-degenerate right-handed neutrino masses. The textures exhibit a hierarchical mass pattern and can be understood from flavor models giving rise to large leptonic mixing. We study the branching ratios for the most general CP-violating forms of the textures. It is demonstrated that the branching ratios can be enhanced by 2-3 orders of magnitude as compared to the CP-conserving case. The branching ratios exhibit, however, a strong dependence on the choice of the phases in the Lagrangian which affects the significance of flavor models. In particular, for general CP-phases, the lepton flavor violating rates appear to be essentially uncorrelated with the possible high- and low-energy lepton mixing parameters, such as the reactor angle.

Working within the framework of the QCD light cone sum rules (LCSR), we compute and discuss the nonfactorizable higher twist effect in $\bar{B}^0\to D^{*0}\pi^0$ to make an all-around examination of its role in the charmed color-suppressed B decays. Analogously to the case of $\bar{B}^0\to D^{0}\pi^0$, such effect turns out to be of the same strong phase as the factorizable amplitude, and modifies constructively the magnitude by order $(40-90)%$ so that the effective coefficient $a_2^{f}=C_1+C_2/3$ receives a positive correction comparable numerically with it. Nonleading as the soft effect in question is, our findings for it, along with the previous LCSR analyses of $\bar{B}^0\to D^{0}\pi^0$, are suggestive of the dominance of soft exchanges in these charmed color suppressed B decays. Also, the emphases are put on importance of understanding intensively various related higher twist and transverse momentum effects to interpret the data on $B \to D^{0(*0)}(\pi^0,\eta,\eta'),J/\psi K^{(*)}$.

We find areas of the parameter space, where the anomalous contribution becomes comparable and even dominant compared to the one-loop contribution.

We study $A_4 \times A_4 \times A_4$ modular symmetric flavor models to realize quark mass hierarchies and mixing angles without fine-tuning. Mass matrices are written in terms of modular forms. At modular fixed points $\tau = i\infty$ and $\omega$, $A_4$ is broken to $Z_3$ residual symmetry. When the modulus $\tau$ is deviated from the fixed points, modular forms show hierarchies depending on their residual charges. Thus, we obtain hierarchical structures in mass matrices. Since we begin with $A_4\times A_4 \times A_4$, the residual symmetry is $Z_3 \times Z_3 \times Z_3$ which can generate sufficient hierarchies to realize quark mass ratios and absolute values of the CKM matrix $|V_{\textrm{CKM}}|$ without fine-tuning. Furthermore, CP violation is studied. We present necessary conditions for CP violation caused by the value of $\tau$. We also show possibilities to realize observed values of the Jarlskog invariant $J_{\textrm{CP}}$, quark mass ratios and CKM matrix $|V_{\textrm{CKM}}|$ simultaneously, if $\mathcal{O}(10)$ adjustments in coefficients of Yukawa couplings are allowed.

We derive a new flavor symmetry relation for the determination of the weak phase $\beta=\phi_1$ from time-dependent CP asymmetries and $B \to J/\psi P$ decay rates. In this relation, the contributions to $\sin2\beta$ proportional to $V_{ub}$ are parametrically suppressed compared to the contributions in the $B \to J/\psi K^0$ time-dependent CP asymmetry alone.

We derive a new flavor symmetry relation for the determination of the weak phase $\beta=\phi_1$ from time-dependent CP asymmetries and $B \to J/\psi P$ decay rates. In this relation, the contributions to $\sin2\beta$ proportional to $V_{ub}$ are parametrically suppressed compared to the contributions in the $B \to J/\psi K^0$ time-dependent CP asymmetry alone. This relation uses only $SU(3)$ flavor symmetry, and does not require further diagrammatic assumptions. The current data either fluctuate at the $2\sigma$ level from expectations, or may hint at effects of unexpected magnitude from contributions proportional to $V_{ub}$ or from isospin breaking.

We calculate the transverse momentum Q_{\perp} dependence of the helicity structure functions for the hadroproduction of a massive pair of leptons with pair invariant mass Q. These structure functions determine the angular distribution of the leptons in the pair rest frame. Unphysical behavior in the region Q_{\perp} --> 0 is seen in the results of calculations done at fixed-order in QCD perturbation theory. We use current conservation to demonstrate that the unphysical inverse-power and \ln(Q/Q_{\perp}) logarithmic divergences in three of the four independent helicity structure functions share the same origin as the divergent terms in fixed-order calculations of the angular-integrated cross section. We show that the resummation of these divergences to all orders in the strong coupling strength \alpha_s can be reduced to the solved problem of the resummation of the divergences in the angular-integrated cross section, resulting in well-behaved predictions in the small Q_{\perp} region. Among other results, we show the resummed part of the helicity structure functions preserves the Lam-Tung relation between the longitudinal and double spin-flip structure functions as a function of Q_{\perp} to all orders in \alpha_s.

We analyze the relation between the present (and foreseen) bounds on matter stability and the presence of TeV-scale color octet scalar states in nonsupersymmetric SO(10) grand unification with one adjoint Higgs representation triggering the symmetry breaking. This scenario, discarded long ago due to tree-level tachyonic instabilities appearing in all phenomenologically viable breaking patterns, has been recently revived at the quantum level. By including the relevant two-loop corrections we find a tight correlation between the octet mass and the unification scale which either requires a light color octet scalar within the reach of the LHC or, alternatively, a proton lifetime accessible to the forthcoming megaton-scale facilities.

In this comment we critically reexamine the interpretation of the data and show that the data prefers a solution where there is no bound state present. Given the low statistics of the measurement, however, it does not exclude the existence of a bound state.

We revisit well-known short-distance constraints relating the hadronic light-by light Green's function to the $\langle VVA \rangle$ one, that have been a subject of debate over the past years in the context of the muon $(g-2)$. Specifically, we identify a relation among the longitudinal and transverse degrees of freedom that is enforced by the axial anomaly that, by contrast, has not received attention in the past. Such relation allows, among other things, to overcome the problem of basis ambiguities when describing axial-vector mesons transition form factors, but further applications are discussed as well, with special focus on the role of axial-vector mesons in the HLbL contribution to the muon $(g-2)$. Our results should also contribute to a better understanding of the, so far, controversial interplay among short-distance constraints with longitudinal and transverse degrees of freedom, such as axial-vector mesons. This is key to confront the theoretical and experimental result for the muon $(g-2)$ that, currently, exhibits a $4.2\sigma$ tension.

A remarkably successful program of parity-violating electron scattering experiments is providing new insight into the structure of the nucleon. Measurement of the vector form factors enables a definitive study of potential strange quark-antiquark contributions to the electromagnetic structure such as the magnetic moment and charge distribution. Recent experimental results have already indicated that effects of strangeness are much smaller than theoretically expected. In addition, the neutral axial form factor appears to display substantial corrections as one might expect from an anapole effect.

We build a "bottom-up" holographic model of charmonium by matching the essential spectral data. We argue that this data must include not only the masses but also the decay constants of the J/psi and psi' mesons. Relative to the "soft-wall" models for light mesons, such a matching requires two new features in the holographic potential: an overall upward shift as well as a narrow "dip" near the holographic boundary. We calculate the spectral function as well as the position of the complex singularities (quasinormal frequencies) of the retarded correlator of the charm current at finite temperatures. We further extend this analysis by showing that the residues associated with these singularities are given by the boundary derivative of the appropriately normalized quasinormal mode. We find that the "melting" of the J/psi spectral peak occurs at a temperature of about 540 MeV, or 2.8 T_c, in good agreement with lattice results.

Based on the study of the linear response of the fermion propagator in the presence of an external scalar field, we calculate the staggered spin susceptibility in the low energy limit in the framework of the Dyson-Schwinger approach. We analyze the effect of a finite gauge boson mass on the staggered spin susceptibility in both Nambu phase and Wigner phase. It is found that the gauge boson mass suppresses the staggered spin susceptibility in Wigner phase. In addition, we try to give an explanation for why the antiferromagnetic spin correlation increases when the doping is lowered.

In this work, we have modified a scenario, originally proposed by Grimus and Lavoura, in order to obtain maximal values for atmospheric mixing angle and CP violating Dirac phase of the lepton sector. To achieve this, we have employed CP and some discrete symmetries in a type II seesaw model. In order to make predictions about neutrino mass ordering and the smallness of the reactor angle, we have obtained some conditions on the elements of the neutrino mass matrix of our model. Finally, within the framework of our model, we have studied quark masses and mixing pattern.

The electroweak radiative correction, which turned out to be marginal within the standard electroweak model having the minimal Higgs sector in view of the present experimental information, fits well the experiment when the Higgs sector is extended to have two Higgs doublets. We predict the range where the charged and CP odd Higgs boson masses would lie, taking the two CP even neutral Higgs boson masses to be degenerate which makes the analysis in multiparameter space feasible. It is shown that the mass of neutral Higgs doublet boson can arbitrarily be large consistently with the $W$ mass, if the charged Higgs boson is present and it's mass lies in some appropriate ranges.

We consider the complete set of observables for collider searches for indirect effects of new heavy physics. They consist of $SU(3)_{\rm C}\times U(1)_{\rm EM}$ invariant interaction terms/operators that parameterize deviations from the Standard Model. We show that, under very general assumptions, the leading deviations from the Standard Model are given by a finite number of `primary' operators, with the remaining operators given by `Mandelstam descendants' whose effects are suppressed by powers of Mandelstam variables divided by the mass scale $M$ of the heavy physics. We explicitly determine all 3 and 4-point primary operators relevant for Higgs signals at colliders by using the correspondence between on-shell amplitudes and independent operators. We give a detailed discussion of the methods used to obtain this result, including a new analytical method for determining the independent operators. The results are checked using the Hilbert series that counts independent operators. We also give a rough sketch of the phenomenology, including unitarity bounds on the interaction strengths and rough estimates of their importance for Higgs decays at the HL-LHC. These results motivate further exploration of Higgs decays to $Z\bar{f}f$, $W\bar{f}f'$, $\gamma \bar{f}f$, and $Z\gamma\gamma$.

We consider the problem of neutrino masses and mixing within the framework of a non-minimal supersymmetric SU(5) model extended by adding a set of 1,24 chiral superfields accommodating three right-handed neutrinos. A Type I+III see-saw mechanism can then be realized giving rise to a hierarchical mass spectrum for the light neutrinos of the form m_3> m_2>> m_1 consistent with present data.

We consider the problem of neutrino masses and mixing within the framework of a non-minimal supersymmetric SU(5) model extended by adding a set of 1,24 chiral superfields accommodating three right-handed neutrinos. A Type I+III see-saw mechanism can then be realized giving rise to a hierarchical mass spectrum for the light neutrinos of the form m_3> m_2>> m_1 consistent with present data. The extra colored states are pushed to the unification scale by proton stability constraints, while the intermediate see-saw energy scale and the unification scale are maintained in phenomenologically acceptable ranges. We also examine the issue of large neutrino mixing hierarchy \theta_{23}> \theta_{12}>> \theta_{13} in the above framework of hierarchical neutrino masses.

In this work, we investigate the possibility of interpreting two nucleon resonances, the $N(1875)$ and the $N(2100)$, as hadronic molecular states from the $\Sigma^*K$ and $\Sigma K^*$ interactions, respectively. With the help of effective Lagrangians in which coupling constants are determined by the SU(3) symmetry, the $\Sigma^*K$ and $\Sigma K^*$ interactions are described by the vector-meson and pseudoscalar-meson exchanges. With the one-boson-exchange potential obtained, bound states from the $\Sigma^*K$ and $\Sigma K^*$ interactions are searched for in a quasipotential Bethe-Saltpeter equation approach. A bound state with quantum number $I(J^P)=1/2(3/2^-)$ is produced from the $\Sigma^*K$ interaction, which can be identified as the $N(1875)$ listed in PDG. It can be seen as a strange partner of the LHCb pentaquark $P_c(4380)$ with the same quantum numbers in the molecular state picture. The $\Sigma K^*$ interaction also produces a bound state with quantum number $I(J^P)=1/2(3/2^-)$, which is related to experimentally observed $N(2100)$ in the $\phi$ photoproduction. Our results suggest that the $N(2120)$ observed in the $K\Lambda(1520)$ photoproduction and the $N(2100)$ observed in the $\phi$ photoproduction have different origins. The former is a conventional three-quark state while the latter is a $\Sigma K^*$ molecular state, which can be seen as a strange partner of the $P_c(4450)$ with different spin parity.

The study of the top quark properties will be an integral part of any particle physics activity at future leptonic colliders. In this proceeding we discuss the possibility of testing composite Higgs scenarios at $e^+e^-$ prototypes through deviations from the Standard Model predictions in $t\bar t$ production observables for various centre of mass energies, ranging from 370 GeV up to 1 TeV.

We obtain improved constraints on the coupling constants of axion-like particles to nucleons from a recently performed Casimir-less experiment. For this purpose, the differential force between a Au-coated sphere and either Au or Si sectors of a rotating disc, arising due to two-axion exchange, is calculated. Over a wide region of axion masses from 1.7 meV to 0.9 eV the obtained constraints are stronger up to a factor of 60 than the previously known ones following from the Cavendish-type experiment and measurements of the effective Casimir pressure.

In this work, the strong coupling constants of the vertices $DDJ/\psi$, $DD^{*}J/\psi$, $D^{*}D^{*}J/\psi$, $DD^{*}\eta_{c}$ and $D^{*}D^{*}\eta_{c}$ are calculated within the framework of the QCD sum rules. For each vertex, we analyze the momentum dependence of the coupling constants by considering all possible off-shell cases. In these analyses, we consider the contributions of the vacuum condensate terms $\langle\overline{q}q\rangle$, $\langle\overline{q}g_{s}\sigma Gq\rangle$, $\langle g_{s}^{2}G^{2}\rangle$, $\langle f^{3}G^{3}\rangle$ and $\langle\overline{q}q\rangle\langle g_{s}^{2}G^{2}\rangle$. Then, the momentum dependent coupling constants are fitted into analytical functions $g(Q^2)$ and are extrapolated into time-like regions. The values of strong coupling constants are obtained by using on-shell conditions of the intermediate mesons($Q^2=-m^2$). The final results are as follows, $g_{DDJ/\psi}=5.01^{+0.58}_{-0.16}$, $g_{DD^{*}J/\psi}=3.55^{+0.20}_{-0.21}$GeV$^{-1}$, $g_{D^{*}D^{*}J/\psi}=5.10^{+0.59}_{-0.43}$, $g_{DD^{*}\eta_{c}}=3.68^{+0.39}_{-0.11}$ and $g_{D^{*}D^{*}\eta_{c}}=4.87^{+0.42}_{-0.40}$GeV$^{-1}$.

A new event generator is proposed for two processes e+e- -> nu nu-bar gamma and e+e- -> nu nu-bar gamma gamma where nu includes all the neutrino species. The exact matrix elements of single- and double-photon emission, generated by the GRACE system, are convoluted with the QED parton shower(QEDPS) to deal with the initial state radiations(ISR). It is pointed out that a careful treatment is required to avoid the double counting of the radiative photons between the matrix elements and the ISR part. A detailed comparison of grc-nu-nu-gamma with the O(alpha) calculations and other similar Monte Carlo generators is discussed on the total cross section and on various distributions. It is also examined how the possible effects of the anomalous triple-gauge-boson couplings can be observed.

Non-thermalized dark matter is a cosmologically valid alternative to the paradigm of weakly interacting massive particles. For dark matter belonging to a $Z_2$-odd sector that contains in addition a thermalized mediator particle, dark matter production proceeds in general via both the freeze-in and superWIMP mechanism. We highlight their interplay and emphasize the connection to long-lived particles at colliders. For the explicit example of a colored t-channel mediator model we map out the entire accessible parameter space, cornered by bounds from the LHC, big bang nucleosynthesis and Lyman-alpha forest observations, respectively. We discuss prospects for the HL- and HE-LHC.

The XENON1T excess of keV electron recoil events may be induced by the scattering of electrons and long-lived particles with MeV mass and high-speed. We consider a tangible model composed of two scalar MeV dark matter (DM) particles $S_A$ and $S_B$ to interpret the XENON1T keV excess via boosted $S_B$. A small mass splitting $m_{S_A}-m_{S_B}>0$ is introduced and the boosted $S_B$ can be produced by the dark annihilation process of $S_A S_A^\dagger \to \phi \to S_B S_B^\dagger$ via a resonant scalar $\phi$. The $S_B-$electron scattering is intermediated by a vector boson $X$. Although the constraints from BBN, CMB and low-energy experiments set the $X-$mediated $S_B-$electron scattering cross section to be $\lesssim 10^{-35} \mathrm{cm}^2$, the MeV scale DM with a resonance enhanced dark annihilation today can still provide enough boosted $S_B$ and induce the XENON1T keV excess. The relic density of $S_B$ is significantly reduced by the $s$-wave process of $S_B S_B^\dagger \to X X$ which is allowed by the constraints from CMB and 21-cm absorption. A very small relic fraction of $S_B$ is compatible with the stringent bounds on un-boosted $S_B$-electron scattering in DM direct detection and the $S_A$-electron scattering is also allowed.

We consider constraints on cosmic strings from their emission of Higgs particles, in the case that the strings have a Higgs condensate with amplitude of order the string mass scale, assuming that a fraction of the energy of condensate can be turned into radiation near cusps. The injection of energy by the decaying Higgs particles affects the light element abundances predicted by standard Big-Bang Nucleosynthesis (BBN), and also contributes to the Diffuse Gamma-Ray Background (DGRB) in the universe today. We examine the two main string scenarios (Nambu-Goto and field theory), and find that the primordial Helium abundance strongly constrains the string tension and the efficiency of the emission process in the NG scenario, while the strongest BBN constraint in the FT scenario comes from the Deuterium abundance. The Fermi-LAT measurement of the DGRB constrains the field theory scenario even more strongly than previously estimated from EGRET data, requiring that the product of the string tension {\mu} and Newton's constant G is bounded by G{\mu} < 2.7x10^{-11}{\beta}_{ft}^{-2}, where {\beta}_{ft}^2 is the fraction of the strings' energy going into Higgs particles.

We propose the $pp \rightarrow \text{jet} + \gamma $ as a new process for studying the Transverse Momentum Dependent Parton Distribution Functions (TMDs). To do so, we developed a novel framework for the jet-$\gamma$ imbalance in $pp \rightarrow \text{jet} + \gamma $ using Soft Collinear Effective Theory. The new framework opens up many new insights to the TMDs which the current TMD studies confined to the Drell-Yan and semi-inclusive deep inelastic scattering processes cannot achieve. The established formalism provides, for the first time, a first principle prediction of the jet-$\gamma$ imbalance in $pp$ collisions and therefore a first direct probe of the factorization breaking effects when compared with the future experimental data. If the factorization breaking effects are found small, the process will offer the unique sensitivities to both the polarized and un-polarized quark/gluon TMDs. We demonstrate the predictive power of the framework by calculating each component in the formalism to the next-to-leading order accuracy and by realizing the next-to-leading-logarithmic evolution. We provide the first numerical estimates for this process, for both the unpolarized cross section and the Sivers asymmetry.

I will briefly introduce the model and highlight the main features, including a common origin of Yukawa couplings and vector leptoquark $U_{1}$ couplings to Standard Model fermions. A GIM-like mechanism allows for large leptoquark couplings which can explain the $B$-anomalies, while protecting from the most dangerous FCNCs that could be mediated by a heavy coloron and $Z'$. Finally, I will highlight some of the most promising signals at low energy processes which can test the model in the upcoming future. The analysis has been updated with the late 2022 measurements of $R_{K^{(*)}}$ by LHCb.

We construct a supersymmeterized version of the model presented by Grimus and Lavoura (GL) in [1] which predicts theta_{23} maximal and theta_{13}=0 in the lepton sector. For this purpose, we extend the flavor group, which is D4 x Z2^{(aux)} in the original model, to D4 x Z5. An additional difference is the absence of right-handed neutrinos. Despite these changes the model is the same as the GL model, since theta_{23} maximal and theta_{13}=0 arise through the same mismatch of D4 subgroups, D2 in the charged lepton and Z2 in the neutrino sector. In our setup D4 is solely broken by gauge singlets, the flavons. We show that their vacuum structure, which leads to the prediction of theta_{13} and theta_{23}, is a natural result of the scalar potential. We find that the neutrino mass matrix only allows for inverted hierarchy, if we assume a certain form of spontaneous CP violation. The quantity |m_{ee}|, measured in neutrinoless double beta decay, is nearly equal to the lightest neutrino mass m3. The Majorana phases phi1 and phi2 are restricted to a certain range for m3 < 0.06 eV. We discuss the next-to-leading order corrections which give rise to shifts in the vacuum expectation values of the flavons. These induce deviations from maximal atmospheric mixing and vanishing theta_{13}. It turns out that these deviations are smaller for theta_{23} than for theta_{13}.

It has been recently argued that realistic models with warped extra dimensions can have Kaluza-Klein particles accessible at the Large Hadron Collider if a custodial symmetry, SU(2)_V \times P_{LR}, is used to protect the T parameter and the coupling of the left-handed bottom quark to the Z gauge boson. In this article we emphasize that such a symmetry implies that the loop corrections to both the T parameter and the Z b_L \bar{b}_L coupling are calculable. In general, these corrections are correlated, can be sizable, and should be considered to determine the allowed parameter space region in models with warped extra dimensions and custodial symmetry, including Randall-Sundrum models with a fundamental Higgs, models of gauge-Higgs unification and Higgsless models. As an example, we derive the constraints that arise on a representative model of gauge-Higgs unification from a global fit to the precision electroweak observables. A scan over the parameter space typically leads to a lower bound on the Kaluza-Klein excitations of the gauge bosons of about 2-3 TeV, depending on the configuration. In the fermionic sector one can have Kaluza-Klein excitations with masses of a few hundred GeV. We present the constraints on these light fermions from recent Tevatron searches, and explore interesting discovery channels at the LHC.

We investigate the quantum effects for the democratic-type neutrino mass matrix given at the right-handed neutrino mass scale $m_R$ in order to see (i) whether $\theta_{23}=-\pi/4$ predicted by the model is stable to explain the atmospheric neutrino anomaly, (ii) how $\theta_{12}$ and $\theta_{13}$ behave, and (iii) whether the predicted Dirac CP phase $\delta$ keeps maximal size, at the weak scale $m_Z$. We find that, for the (inversely) hierarchical mass spectrum with $m_1\sim m_2$, $\theta_{23}$ and $\theta_{13}$ are stable, while $\theta_{12}$ is not so, which leads to the possibility that the solar neutrino mixing angle can become large at $m_Z$ even if it is taken small at $m_R$. We also show that $\delta$ keeps almost maximal for the above mass spectrum, and our model can give the large CP violation effect in the future neutrino oscillation experiments if the solar neutrino puzzle is explained by the large mixing angle MSW solution.

We construct renormalizable Standard Model extensions, valid up to the Planck scale, that give a composite Higgs from a new fundamental strong force acting on fermions and scalars. Yukawa interactions of these particles with Standard Model fermions realize the partial compositeness scenario. Under certain assumptions on the dynamics of the scalars, successful models exist because gauge quantum numbers of Standard Model fermions admit a minimal enough 'square root'. Furthermore, right-handed SM fermions have an SU(2)$_R$-like structure, yielding a custodially-protected composite Higgs. Baryon and lepton numbers arise accidentally. Standard Model fermions acquire mass at tree level, while the Higgs potential and flavor violations are generated by quantum corrections. We further discuss accidental symmetries and other dynamical features stemming from the new strongly interacting scalars. If the same phenomenology can be obtained from models without our elementary scalars, they would reappear as composite states.

In Two-Higgs-Doublet models, the conditions for CP violation can be expressed in terms of invariants under U(2) rotations among the two SU(2) Higgs doublet fields. In order to design a strategy for measuring the invariants we express them in terms of observables, i.e., masses and couplings of scalar bosons. We find amplitudes directly sensitive to the invariants. Observation of the Standard-Model-like Higgs boson at the LHC severely constrains the models. In particular, in the model with Z_2 symmetry imposed on dimension-4 terms (in order to eliminate tree-level flavour-changing neutral currents), CP violation is strongly suppressed. On the other hand, the most general Two-Higgs-Doublet model (without Z_2 symmetry) would still allow for CP violation to be present in the model, without being in conflict with the LHC data. Consequently, also flavour-changing neutral currents would in general be expected. We briefly sketch a strategy for measuring the remaining CP violation.

We update QCD calculations of $B \to \pi, K$ form factors at large hadronic recoil by including the subleading-power corrections from the higher-twist $B$-meson light-cone distribution amplitudes (LCDAs) up to the twist-six accuracy and the strange-quark mass effects at leading-power in $\Lambda/m_b$ from the twist-two $B$-meson LCDA $\phi_B^{+}(\omega, \mu)$. The higher-twist corrections from both the two-particle and three-particle $B$-meson LCDAs are computed from the light-cone QCD sum rules (LCSR) at tree level. In particular, we construct the local duality model for the twist-five and -six $B$-meson LCDAs, in agreement with the corresponding asymptotic behaviours at small quark and gluon momenta, employing the QCD sum rules in heavy quark effective theory at leading order in $\alpha_s$. The strange quark mass effects in semileptonic $B \to K$ form factors yield the leading-power contribution in the heavy quark expansion, consistent with the power-counting analysis in soft-collinear effective theory, and they are also computed from the LCSR approach due to the appearance of the rapidity singularities. We further explore the phenomenological aspects of the semileptonic $B \to \pi \ell \nu$ decays and the rare exclusive processes $B \to K \nu \nu$, including the determination of the CKM matrix element $|V_{ub}|$, the normalized differential $q^2$ distributions and precision observables defined by the ratios of branching fractions for the above-mentioned two channels in the same intervals of $q^2$.

We analyze the sensitivity of next-generation tonne-scale neutrinoless double $\beta$-decay ($0\nu\beta\beta$) experiments and searches for same-sign di-electrons plus jets at the Large Hadron Collider to TeV scale lepton number violating interactions. Taking into account previously unaccounted for physics and detector backgrounds at the LHC, renormalization group evolution, and long-range contributions to $0\nu\beta\beta$ nuclear matrix elements, we find that the reach of tonne-scale $0\nu\beta\beta$ generally exceeds that of the LHC. However, for a range of heavy particle masses near the TeV scale, the high luminosity LHC and tonne-scale $0\nu\beta\beta$ may provide complementary probes.

In the past few years, a lot of evidences have been accumulated, which indicate that the gluon polarization inside the nucleon is likely to be small at least at the low renormalization scales. On the other hand, the recent lattice QCD analyses suggest that the net orbital angular momentum carried by the quarks is nearly zero. There is also some indication noticed by Brodsky and Gardner based on the COMPASS observation of small single-spin asymmetry on the isoscalar deuteron target, that the gluon orbital angular momentum inside the nucleon is likely to be small. Naively combining all these observations, we are led to a rather embarrassing conclusion that the nucleon constituents altogether do not carry enough amount of angular momentum saturating the total nucleon spin. We show that this somewhat confused state of affairs can be cleared up only by paying careful attention to the scale dependencies of the nucleon spin decomposition.

Within composite Higgs models based on the top seesaw mechanism, we show that the Higgs field can arise as the pseudo Nambu-Goldstone boson of the broken U(3)_L chiral symmetry associated with a vector-like quark and the t-b doublet. As a result, the lightest CP-even neutral state of the composite scalar sector is lighter than the top quark, and can be identified as the newly discovered Higgs boson. Constraints on weak isospin violation push the chiral symmetry breaking scale above a few TeV, implying that other composite scalars are probably too heavy to be probed at the LHC, but may be within reach at a future hadron collider with center-of-mass energy of about 100 TeV.

A scenario based on the TopFlavor model is presented to explain the origin of a light sterile neutrino as indicated by all combined neutrino oscillation experiments. The model is phenomenologically well motivated and compatible with all available low-energy data. The derived nuetrino mass matrix can qualitatively explain the observed hierarchy in the neutrino mass splittings as indicated by the neutrino oscillation data. Numerical results are obtained for special cases.

In this work we present for the first time predictions for top-quark pair differential distributions at the LHC at NNLO QCD accuracy and including EW corrections. For the latter we include not only contributions of ${\cal O}(\alpha_s^2 \alpha)$, but also those of order ${\cal O}(\alpha_s \alpha^2)$ and ${\cal O}( \alpha^3)$. Besides providing phenomenological predictions for all main differential distributions with stable top quarks, we also study the following issues. 1) The effect of the photon PDF on top-pair spectra: we find it to be strongly dependent on the PDF set used -- especially for the top $p_T$ distribution. 2) The difference between the additive and multiplicative approaches for combining QCD and EW corrections: with our scale choice, we find relatively small differences between the central predictions, but reduced scale dependence within the multiplicative approach. 3) The potential effect from the radiation of heavy bosons on inclusive top-pair spectra: we find it to be, typically, negligible.

We study all the possible spin asymmetries that can arise in back-to-back electron-jet production, $ep\rightarrow e+\text{jet}+X$, as well as the associated jet fragmentation process, $ep\rightarrow e+ \text{jet} (h)+X$, in electron-proton collisions. We derive the factorization formalism for these spin asymmetries and perform the corresponding phenomenology for the kinematics relevant to the future electron ion collider. In the case of unpolarized electron-proton scattering, we also give predictions for azimuthal asymmetries for the HERA experiment. This demonstrates that electron-jet production is an outstanding process for probing unpolarized and polarized transverse momentum dependent parton distribution functions and fragmentation functions.

Probing vacuum structures deformed by high intense fields is of great interest in general. In the context of quantum electrodynamics (QED), the vacuum exposed by a linearly polarized high-intensity laser field is expected to show birefringence. We consider the combination of a 10 PW laser system to pump the vacuum and 1 GeV photons to probe the birefringent effect. The vacuum birefringence can be measured via the polarization flip of the probe $\gamma$-rays which can also be interpreted as phase retardation of probe photons. We provide theoretically how to extract phase retardation of GeV probe photons via pair-wise topology of the Bethe-Heitler process in a polarimeter and then evaluate the measurability of the vacuum birefringence via phase retardation given a concrete polarimeter design with a realistic set of laser parameters and achievable pulse statistics.

Prethermalization of the equation of state and the kinetic temperature to their equilibrium values occurs on time scales dramatically shorter than the thermal equilibration time. This is a crucial ingredient for the understanding of collisions of heavy nuclei or other nonequilibrium phenomena in complex quantum and classical many body systems.

It has been said that the measurements of $U_{e3}$ in the lepton flavor mixing matrix would help discriminate between the possible solar neutrino solutions under the natural conditions with the neutrino mass hierarchies of $m_1 \ll m_2 \ll m_3$ and $m_1 \sim m_2 \gg m_3$, where $m_i$ is the $i$-th generation neutrino absolute mass. However, it is not true, and the relation between $\sin^2 2 \theta_{12}$ and $U_{e3}$ obtained by Akhmedov, Branco, and Rebelo is trivial in actual. We show in this paper that the value of $U_{e3}$ cannot predict the solar neutrino solutions without one additional nontrivial condition.

The definition of QCD vacuum is an important issue in the description of hadronic properties. Recent researches on the vacuum condensates have resulted in the suggestion of in-hadron condensates which can be taken as a paradigm shift concerning the viewpoints on the QCD vacuum. In this Letter, we will try to define the in-hadron regions and to classify the hadronic and multiquark states. Topological classifications are naturally introduced and by considering nonlocal measure we can estimate the variations of dimension 2 condensate $< A_{\mu}^2 >$. The calculational techniques can be easily applied to multiquark states and are expected to be applied to the more complex nuclear states.

We study the $\gamma\gamma\rightarrow M^{+}M^{-}(M=\pi, K)$ processes with the contributions from the two-particle twist-2 and twist-3 distribution amplitudes of pion and kaon mesons on BHL prescription in the standard hard-scattering approach. The results show that the contributions from twist-3 parts are actually not power suppressed comparing with the leading-twist contributions and the cross sections agree well with the experimental data in the two-photon center-of-mass energy $W>2.8$ GeV. We also predict the cross section ratio $\sigma_{0}(\pi^{+}\pi^{-})/\sigma_{0}(K^{+}K^{-})$, which is compatible with the experimental data from TPC and Belle.

The nuclear modification factor ${R}_{\rm AA}$ and the elliptic flow coefficient ${v}_{\rm 2}$ of charm-strange meson $D^{+}_{s}$ is systematically studied in Pb--Pb collisions at $\sqrt{s_{\rm NN}}=5.02~{\rm TeV}$ and $2.76~{\rm TeV}$. During the modeling, the coupling strength between the injected charm quark and the incident medium constituents, is extracted from the lattice QCD calculations: $2\pi TD_{s}=7$ (\textbf{Model-A}) and $2\pi TD_{s}=1.3 + (T/T_{c})^2$ (\textbf{Model-B}). We find that, comparing ${R}_{\rm AA}(D^{+}_{s})$ with ${R}_{\rm AA}(non-strange)$, the heavy-light coalescence effect is more pronounced for the former one, resulting in an enhancement behavior in the range $2\lesssim {p}_{\rm T}\lesssim5~{\rm GeV}$. The predictions of ${R}_{\rm AA}(D^{+}_{s})$ and ${R}_{\rm AA}(non-strange)$ favor Model-A to have a better description of the measured ${p}_{\rm T}$ dependence in both energies, while their ${v}_{\rm 2}$ prefer Model-B at moderate ${p}_{\rm T}$ ($2\lesssim {p}_{\rm T}\lesssim4~{\rm GeV}$). Therefore, it is necessary to consider the temperature- and/or momentum-dependence of $2\pi TD_{s}$ to describe simultaneously ${R}_{\rm AA}(D^{+}_{s})$ and ${v}_{\rm 2}(D^{+}_{s})$ in different centrality classes in Pb--Pb collisions.

If, instead of this, we assume saturation of the improved Froissart bound, i.e., a behaviour $$Im F(s,0)\simeq A(s/\hat{s})\log^2{{s}\over{s_1\log^{7/2} s/s_2}}, $$ a good fit is obtained to $\pi\pi$, $\pi N$, $KN$ and $NN$ cross sections from c.m. kinetic energy $E_{\rm kin}\simeq1 $ GeV to 30 TeV (producing a cross section of $108\pm6$ mb at LHC energy). This suggests that the Regge-type behaviour only holds for values of the momentum transfer very near zero.

We examine the possibility of recovering the supersymmetric (and soft supersymmetry breaking) Lagrangian parameters as direct {\em analytical} expressions of appropriate physical masses, for the unconstrained (but CP and R-parity conserving) minimal supersymmetric standard model. We concentrate mainly on the algebraically non-trivial "inversion" for the ino parameters, and obtain, for given values of $\tan\beta$, simple analytical expressions for the $\mu$, $M_1$ and $M_2$ parameters in terms of three arbitrary input physical masses, namely either two chargino and one neutralino masses, or alternatively one chargino and two neutralino masses. We illustrate and discuss in detail the possible occurrence of ambiguities in this reconstruction. The dependence of the resulting ino Lagrangian parameters upon physical masses is illustrated, and some simple generic behaviour uncovered in this way. We finally briefly sketch generalizing such an inversion to the full set of MSSM Lagrangian parameters.

The $S$-wave decays of these states to the $PB$ (pseudoscalar meson and baryon) and $VB$ (vector meson and baryon) channels are studied. According to the obtained masses and decay properties, we find four states, namely, $N_{s\bar{s}}(1874)$ with quantum numbers $I(J^{P})=1/2(1/2^{-})$, $N_{s\bar{s}}(1885)$ with $I(J^{P})=1/2(3/2^{-})$, $N_{s\bar{s}}(2327)$ with $I(J^{P})=1/2(1/2^{-})$, and $N_{s\bar{s}}(2252)$ with $I(J^{P})=1/2(3/2^{-})$, may be associated to the well established nucleon resonances $N^*(1895)$, $N^{*}(1875)$, and the newly predicted $N^{*}(2355)$ and $N^{*}(2250)$ by CLAS collaboration, respectively. In addition, several other obtained hidden strangeness nucleon resonances may be expected to be dominant components of the predicted missing resonances in the literatures.

Since the precise study of Higgs gauge couplings is important to test the Standard Model (SM), we calculate the complete next-to-leading order QCD(NLO QCD) correction to the $pp \to HZW^{\pm}$ production in the SM at 14 TeV LHC. Our results show that the NLO QCD correction can enhance the leading-order cross section of $pp \to HZW^{\pm}$ by 45%, when $ m_H $ = 125.3 GeV. We also study the dependence of the LO and NLO corrected cross sections on the renormalization and factorization scale $\mu$. Besides, due to the unbalance of parton distribution functions, we investigate the charge asymmetry of $W^{\pm}$ in the production of $pp\to HZW^{\pm}$, which can reach 32.94% for $\mu=(m_H+m_Z+m_W)/2$ at 14 TeV LHC.

2-Higgs Doublet Models (2HDMs) typically need to invoke an ad-hoc discrete symmetry to avoid severe flavor bounds and in addition feature massless neutrinos, thus falling short of naturally complying with existing data. However, when augmented by an Abelian gauge symmetry naturally incorporating neutrino masses via a type-I seesaw mechanism while at the same time escaping flavor changing interactions, such enlarged 2HDMs become very attractive phenomenologically. In such frameworks, the distinctive element is the $Z'$ gauge boson generated by the spontaneous breaking of the Abelian group $U(1)_X$. In this work, we derive updated collider bounds on it. Several theoretical setups are possible, each with different and sometimes suppressed couplings to quarks and leptons. Thus, complementary data from dijet and dilepton resonance searches need to be considered to fully probe these objects. We employ the corresponding datasets as obtained at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at the 13 TeV CMs energy for $\mathcal{L}=12,36$ and $300$ fb$^{-1}$ of luminosity. Moreover, we present the potential sensitivity to such $Z'$s of the High Luminosity LHC (HL-LHC) and High Energy LHC (HE-LHC).

We consider a curvaton scenario in which the late-time domination and the generation of the curvature perturbation is achieved by a non-oscillatory (NO) curvaton potential. Instead of considering the conventional curvaton oscillation, we consider ``weak trapping'' after preheating, which modifies the evolution of the curvaton density after preheating. The primordial isocurvature perturbation related to the curvaton is once converted into the fluctuation of the number density of the preheat field through inhomogeneous preheating. Then the evolution of the curvatons and the preheat field is controlled by the preheat-field number density. The density of these fields decreases slightly slower than the standard matter density which suggests that these fields will grow with time. Finally, the preheat field decays to reheat the Universe leaving behind the curvature perturbation. In our scenario the task of the standard curvaton is not executed solely by the curvaton itself but is partially shared with the preheat field. NO curvatons can be considered as the hybrid version of the quintessential inflationary model.

The muon capture rate in the reaction mu- 3He -> nu + 3H has been measured at PSI using a modular high pressure ionization chamber. The rate corresponding to statistical hyperfine population of the mu-3He atom is (1496.0 +- 4.0) s^-1. This result confirms the PCAC prediction for the pseudoscalar form factors of the 3He-3H system and the nucleon.

We study parametric resonant decay of inflaton field with emphasis on its physical meaning. We show that the parametric resonance is indeed an induced process, which means that the more numbers of produced particles, the more inflaton field decays. We also consider the dissipative effects of produced particles and find that the dissipation reduces the resonant decay rate of inflaton field.

We discuss the optimization of a neutrino factory experiment for neutrino oscillation physics in terms of muon energy, baselines, and oscillation channels (gold, silver, platinum). In addition, we study the impact and requirements for detector technology improvements, and we compare the results to beta beams. We find that the optimized neutrino factory has two baselines, one at about 3000 to 5000km, the other at about 7500km (``magic'' baseline). The threshold and energy resolution of the golden channel detector have the most promising optimization potential. This, in turn, could be used to lower the muon energy from about 50GeV to about 20GeV. Furthermore, the inclusion of electron neutrino appearance with charge identification (platinum channel) could help for large values of \sin^2 2 \theta_{13}. Though tau neutrino appearance with charge identification (silver channel) helps, in principle, to resolve degeneracies for intermediate \sin^2 2 \theta_{13}, we find that alternative strategies may be more feasible in this parameter range. As far as matter density uncertainties are concerned, we demonstrate that their impact can be reduced by the combination of different baselines and channels. Finally, in comparison to beta beams and other alternative technologies, we clearly can establish a superior performance for a neutrino factory in the case \sin^2 2 \theta_{13} < 0.01.

We derive the semiclassical (instanton-induced) contribution to the inelastic cross section of two color dipoles at large $\sqrt{s}$. We study its dependence on the dipole sizes, orientations and, most importantly, the impact parameter. The inelastic cross section is approximately quadratic in the dipole sizes, and Gaussian-like in the impact parameter with a width of the order of the instanton size. These results are directly relevant to double DIS $\gamma^*\gamma^*$, as well as $\gamma^*\gamma$ and standard DIS $\gamma^* h$ at small x when a real photon and a hadron can be approximated by a dipole. For such cases, with one small dipole scattering on a large dipole, the impact parameter profile exhibits a width of about 1/2 fm, which is in good agreement with the impact parameter profile recently extracted from DIS HERA data, including diffractive $\gamma^*\to J/\psi$.

Using the facts that in Gauge-Mediated Supersymmetry Breaking schemes, masses of the right and the left sfermions can differ widely, and the gravitino is the Lightest Supersymmetric Particle, we show that it is possible to obtain unambiguous signatures of such schemes in a high energy $e^+e^-$ collider if one looks at the asymmetries in the cross-sections for certain final states with left-and right-polarized beams.

The ultraperipheral heavy ion collisions (UPC's) are an important alternative to study the QCD dynamics until the next generation of $e^+e^-/ ep / eA $ colliders become reality. Due to the coherent action of all the protons in the nucleus, the electromagnetic field is very strong and the resulting flux of equivalent photons is large, which allows to study two-photon as well as photonuclear interactions at high energies. In this paper we present a brief review of the vector meson production in UPC's at high energies using the QCD color dipole approach to describe their photonuclear production and the perturbative QCD Pomeron (BFKL dynamics) to describe the double meson production in photon-photon process. Predictions for rates and integrated cross sections are presented for energies of RHIC and LHC.

We analyze if and to what extent the high energy behaviour of five-dimensional (5D) gauge theories can be improved by adding certain higher dimensional operators of "Lifshitz" type, without breaking the ordinary four-dimensional Lorentz symmetries. We show that the UV behaviour of the transverse gauge field polarizations can be improved by the Lifshitz operators, while the longitudinal polarizations get strongly coupled at energies lower than the ones in ordinary 5D theories, spoiling the usefulness of the construction in non-abelian gauge theories. We conclude that the improved behaviour as effective theories of the ordinary 5D models is not only related to locality and 5D gauge symmetries, but is a special property of the standard theories defined by the lowest dimensional operators.

We present a new way to define and compute the maximum significance achievable for signal and background processes at the LHC, using all available phase space information. As an example, we show that a light Higgs boson produced in weak--boson fusion with a subsequent decay into muons can be extracted from the backgrounds. The method, aimed at phenomenological studies, can be incorporated in parton--level event generators and accommodate parametric descriptions of detector effects for selected observables.

It is pointed out that the omission of the effects of the transition between quarkonia or the assumption that the transition between quarkonia is flavor-independent would result in the inconsistent results for the pseudoscalar meson nonet. It is emphasized that the mass relation of the non-ideal mixing meson nonets should incorporate the effects of the flavor-dependent transition between quarkonia.

It is pointed out that the omission of the effects of the transition between quarkonia or the assumption that the transition between quarkonia is flavor-independent would result in the inconsistent results for the pseudoscalar meson nonet. It is emphasized that the mass relation of the non-ideal mixing meson nonets should incorporate the effects of the flavor-dependent transition between quarkonia. The new mass relations of a meson nonet are presented.

We analyze the current status of the solution to the solar neutrino problem based both on: a) non-standard flavor changing neutrino interactions (FCNI) and b) non-universal flavor diagonal neutrino interactions (FDNI). We find that FCNI and FDNI with matter in the sun as well as in the earth provide a good fit not only to the total rate measured by all solar neutrino experiments but also to the day-night and seasonal variations of the event rate, as well as the recoil electron energy spectrum measured by the SuperKamiokande collaboration. This solution does not require massive neutrinos and neutrino mixing in vacuum. Stringent experimental constraints on FCNI from bounds on lepton flavor violating decays and on FDNI from limits on lepton universality violation rule out $\nu_e \to \nu_\mu$ transitions induced by New Physics as a solution to the solar neutrino problem. However, a solution involving $\nu_e \to \nu_\tau$ transitions is viable and could be tested independently by the upcoming $B$-factories if flavor violating tau decays would be observed at a rate close to the present upper bounds.

We study the hybrid mesons with the exotic quantum number $I^GJ^{PC} = 0^+1^{-+}$ and investigate their decays into the $\eta \eta^\prime$, $a_1(1260) \pi$, $f_1(1285) \eta$, $f_1(1420) \eta$, $K^*(892) \bar K$, $K_1(1270) \bar K$, and $K_1(1400) \bar K$ channels. We find that the QCD axial anomaly enhances the decay width of the $\eta \eta^\prime$ channel although this mode is strongly suppressed by the small $P$-wave phase space. Our results support the interpretation of the $\eta_1(1855)$ recently observed by BESIII as the $\bar s s g$ hybrid meson of $I^GJ^{PC}=0^+1^{-+}$. The QCD axial anomaly ensures the $\eta \eta^\prime$ decay mode to be a characteristic signal of the hybrid nature of the $\eta_1(1855)$.

We suggest an appealing strategy to probe a large class of scenarios beyond the Standard Model simultaneously explaining the recent CDF II measurement of the $W$ boson mass and predicting first-order phase transitions (FOPT) testable in future gravitational-wave (GW) experiments. Our analysis deploys measurements from the GW channels and high energy particle colliders. We discuss this methodology focusing on the specific example provided by an extension of the Standard Model of particle physics that incorporates an additional scalar $\mathrm{SU}(2)_{\rm L}$ triplet coupled to the Higgs boson. We show that within this scenario a strong electroweak FOPT is naturally realised consistently with the measured $W$ boson mass-shift. Potentially observable GW signatures imply the triplet mass scale to be TeV-ish, consistently with the value preferred by the $W$ mass anomaly. This model can be tested in future space-based interferometers such as LISA, DECIGO, BBO, TianQin, TAIJI projects and in future colliders such as FCC, ILC, CEPC.

We discuss the possibility of solving the inverse problem of the cosmic-ray electron/positron from decaying/annihilating dark matter, and show simple analytic formulae to reconstruct the source spectrum of the electron/positron from the observed flux. We also illustrate our approach by applying the obtained formula to the just released Fermi data as well as the new HESS data.

In this paper we present the analytic form of the heavy-quark coefficient functions for deep-inelastic lepton-hadron scattering in the kinematical regime $Q^2 \gg m^2$ . Here $Q^2$ and $m^2$ stand for the masses squared of the virtual photon and heavy quark respectively. The calculations have been performed up to next-to-leading order in the strong coupling constant $\alpha_s$ using operator product expansion techniques. Apart from a check on earlier calculations, which however are only accessible via large computer programs, the asymptotic forms of the coefficient functions are useful for charm production at HERA when the condition $Q^2 \gg m_c^2$ is satisfied. Furthermore the analytical expressions can also be used when one applies the variable heavy flavour scheme up to next-to-leading order in $\alpha_s$.

TPEcalc is a C++ program for calculation of two-photon exchange (TPE) amplitudes in elastic electron-hadron scattering, based on the dispersion method. It is a command-line tool which accepts kinematical parameters (Q^2 and epsilon) as input and returns TPE amplitudes. It can do calculations for proton, neutron and pion targets. Any spin 1/2+ or spin 0- target is supported, if the user supplies all necessary form factor parameterizations. This paper describes how to use TPEcalc and outlines underlying theory. The program source code can be downloaded from http://tpe.bitp.kiev.ua/
