invisible decay modes in nuclear gamma cascades using 200 kg of %36 Cs(Tl)
scintillators that are presently available at Texas A\&M. The experiment aims
to search for missing energy by robustly establishing the absence of a photon
in a well identified gamma cascade. We report on the experimental demonstration
of the energy resolution necessary for this search. Prior explorations of this
detector concept focused on baryonically coupled physics that could be emitted
in $E_2$ transitions. We point out that this protocol can also search for
particles that are coupled to photons by searching for the conversion of a
photon produced in a gamma cascade into a hidden particle. Examples of these
processes include the oscillation of a photon into a hidden photon and the
conversion of a photon into an axion-like-particle either in the presence of a
magnetic field or via the Primakoff process. This proof-of-concept apparatus
appears to have the ability to search for hitherto unconstrained baryonically
coupled scalars and pseudoscalars produced in $E_0$ and $M_0$ transitions. If
successfully implemented, this experiment serves as a pathfinder for a larger
detector with greater containment that can thoroughly probe the existence of
new particles with mass below 4 MeV that lie in the poorly constrained
supernova ``trapping window'' that exists between 100 keV and 30 MeV.

controls the strength of the first-order phase transition driven by

reduced to an $O(8)$ scalar theory that exhibits a second-order phase
transition in three dimensions. We develop a new insight for the understanding
of the fluctuation-induced first-order phase transition as a smooth
continuation from the standard RG flow in the $O(8)$ system. In our view from
the RG flow diagram on coupling parameter space, the region that favors the
first-order transition emerges from the unphysical region to the physical one
as $\lambda_2$ increases from zero. We give this interpretation based on the
Taylor expansion of the functional RG equations up to the fourth order in terms
of the field, which encompasses the $\epsilon$-expansion results. We compare
results from the expansion and from the full numerical calculation and find
that the fourth-order expansion is only of qualitative use and that the

$\tau_{1/2}(w)\ll \tau_{3/2}(w)$. Very small branching ratios into $j=1/2$
orbitally excited $D$'s results. The overall agreement with experiment is
rather good within the present accuracy which is poor for the orbitally excited
charmed mesons. We predict a ratio $Br(B\to D^\ast_2 l \nu)/Br(B\to D_1 l

faint experimental indications that $Br(B\to D_1 l \nu)\simeq Br(B\to D^\ast_2

This has become a widely accepted assumption for "new physics" models. In this
paper we propose a model-independent scheme to test minimal flavour violation

that the top-quark is produced at a high-energy collision and decays as a

$y$ are evaluated using latest data on hadronic $D^0$ decays. In particular, we
take on two-body $D \to PP$ and $VP$ decays to evaluate the contributions of
two-body intermediate states because they account for $\sim 50%$ of hadronic
$D^0$ decays. Use of the diagrammatic approach has been made to estimate
yet-observed decay modes. We find that $y$ is of order a few $\times 10^{-3}$
and $x$ of order $10^{-3}$ from hadronic $PP$ and $VP$ modes. These are in good
agreement with the latest direct measurement of $D^0$-$\bar D^0$ mixing
parameters using the $D^0 \to K_S \pi^+\pi^-$ and $K_S K^+ K^-$ decays by
BaBar. We estimate the contribution to $y$ from the $VV$ modes using the
factorization model and comment on the single-particle resonance effects and
contributions from other two-body modes involving even-parity states.

2HDM signals, we employ the combination of many exclusive multi-lepton search
channels to probe the collective signal from the totality of production and
decay processes. Multi-lepton signals of 2HDMs can arise from a variety of
sources, including Standard Model-like production of the CP-even scalars, $h$
and $H$, through gluon-fusion with $h,H \to ZZ^{(*)}$, or associated production
with vector bosons or top quarks, with $h,H \to WW^{(*)}, ZZ^{(*)},\tau\tau$.
Additional sources include gluon-fusion production of the heavy CP-even scalar
with decays through the light CP-even scalar, the CP-odd scalar, $A$, or the
charged scalar, $H^\pm$, such as $H \to hh$, $H \to AA$, $H \to H^+ H^-$, $H
\to ZA$, with $A \to Zh, \tau\tau$, $H^\pm \to Wh$, and $h \to WW^*,
ZZ^*,\tau\tau$. Altogether, the combined multi-lepton signal may greatly exceed
that of the Standard Model Higgs boson and provides a sensitive probe of
extended Higgs sectors. As a proof of principle, we use a factorized mapping
procedure between model parameters and signatures to determine multi-lepton
sensitivities in four different flavor conserving 2HDM parameter spaces by
simulating the acceptance times efficiency in 20 exclusive multi-lepton
channels for 222 independent production and decay topologies that arise for
four benchmark 2HDM spectra within each parameter space. A comparison of these
sensitivities with the results of a multi-lepton search conducted by the CMS

itself is renormalization scale dependent. To make the decay rate
scale-independent, radiative corrections, which are due to the field
fluctuations around the bounce, have to be included. We show quantitatively
that the inclusion of the fluctuations suppresses the scale dependence, and

In this context neutrinos are Majorana fermions and their masses are generated at the quantum level through the Zee mechanism using the simplest Higgs sector. We show that the right handed neutrinos are generically light and can give rise to large lepton number violating contributions to rare processes. We discuss the correlation between the collider constrains and the predictions for lepton number violating processes.

momentum reconstruction from the recoiling system and the impact parameters,
high precision in the determination of the momentum of neutrinos can be
achieved. The prospect of measuring the Higgs CP mixing angle with the
$h\to\tau\tau$ decay at future $e^+e^-$ colliders is studied with the new
method. The analysis is based on a detailed detector simulation of the signal
and backgrounds. The fully reconstructed neutrinos and also other visible
products from the tau decay are used to build matrix element (ME) based CP
observables. With 5 $ab^{-1}$ of data at $E_{\text{CM}}=250$ GeV, a precision
of $2.9^\circ$ can be achieved for the CP mixing angle with three main
one-prong decay modes of the taus. The precision is found to be about 35\%

the experimental determination of this coupling at future collider experiments.
We find the coupling $\lambda_{hhH}$ between $\sim -1.5$ and $\sim +1.5$ in the

compactification, are dangerous to cosmology in that 1. their late-time decays
may disrupt successful Big Bang Nucleosynthesis (BBN), 2. they may decay into

of lightest SUSY particles (LSPs, assumed to constitute at least a portion of

resulting in gross DM overproduction. Together, these constitute the
cosmological moduli problem (CMP). The combined effects require lightest
modulus mass m_\phi >~10^4 TeV, and if the lightest modulus mass m_\phi is
correlated with the SUSY breaking scale m_{3/2}, then the underlying SUSY model
would be highly unnatural. We present a solution to the CMP wherein the
lightest modulus initial field strength \phi_0 is anthropically selected to be
\phi_0\sim 10^{-7}m_P by the requirement that the dark matter-to-baryonic
matter ratio be not-too-far removed from its present value so that sufficient
baryons are present in the universe to create observers. In this case, instead

observed at the LHC in its diphoton decay. If this state is not simply a
statistical fluctuation which will disappear with more data, it will have
important implications not only for particle physics but also for cosmology. In
this note, we analyze the implications of such a resonance for the dark matter
(DM). Assuming a spin 1/2 DM particle, we first verify that indeed the correct
relic density can be obtain for a wide range of the particle mass and weak
scale coupling that are compatible with present data. We then show that the
combination of near future direct and indirect detection experiments will allow
to probe the CP-nature of the mediator resonance, i.e. check whether it is a
scalar or a pseudoscalar like particle.

] | A Higgs-like resonance with a mass of approximately 750 GeV has recently been observed at the LHC in its diphoton decay. If this state is not simply a statistical fluctuation which will disappear with more data, it will have important implications not only for particle physics but also for cosmology. In this note, we analyze the implications of such a resonance for the dark matter (DM). Assuming a spin 1/2 DM particle, we first verify that indeed the correct relic density can be obtain for a wide range of the particle mass and weak scale coupling that are compatible with present data. We then show that the combination of near future direct and indirect detection experiments will allow to probe the CP-nature of the mediator resonance, i.e. check whether it is a scalar or a pseudoscalar like particle. |

profits from the large s-channel $b$-quark annihilation production of the heavy
CP-even and CP-odd Higgs bosons (H/A) which can be attained in regions of
$\tan\beta\gg 1$ that avoid the stringent $H/A \to \tau^+ \tau^-$ searches via
decays into stau pairs. We also focus on regions where the staus branching
ratios are dominated by the decays into a tau lepton and the lightest
neutralino. Thus the experimental signature consists of final states made up of
a tau-lepton pair plus large missing transverse energy. We take advantage of
the large stau-pair production cross sections via heavy Higgs boson decays,
which are between one or two orders of magnitude larger than the usual
electroweak production cross sections for staus. A set of basic cuts allow us
to obtain significances of the signal over the SM backgrounds at the discovery

by charge diffusion and Ohmic dissipation, which generates a non-trivial charge

The phase transition structure in viable regions of parameter space exhibits a

regions of parameter space and can be promising for successful electroweak
baryogenesis. We estimate the wall velocity microphysically, taking into
account the various sources of friction acting on the expanding bubble wall.
Ultra-relativistic solutions to the bubble wall equations of motion typically
exist when the electroweak phase transition features substantial supercooling.

all the $N^*$ and $\Delta^*$ resonances appearing in the $\pi N$ scattering

the orbital configuration with two valence quarks in excited states couple
strongly to the $\pi \pi N$-channel, but not to the $\pi N$ channel.
At low energy scale up to 2000 MeV, the obtained numerical estimations for
the SU(2) baryon states (up to and including F-wave $N^*$ and $\Delta^*$

experimental data.
It is argued that due-to the overestimation of the ground state N(939) and
Roper resonance N(1440) almost by the same amount and that the Roper resonance
is a radial excitation of the N(939), the "lowering mechanism" for the both
baryon states must be the same. The same mechanism is expected in the $\Delta$
sector. At higher energies, where the experimental data are poor, we can extend
our model schematically and predict seven new $N^*$ and four $\Delta^*$

configurations for massive bosonic fields. In this work we describe a new class
of superradiant instabilities of axion bound states in neutron star
magnetospheres. The instability arises from the mixing of axion and photon
modes in the magnetic field of the neutron star which extract energy from the
rotating magnetosphere. Unlike for black holes, where the dissipation required
for superradiance is provided by an absorbative horizon, the non-hermitian
dynamics in this paper come from the resistivity in the stellar magnetosphere
arising from a finite bulk conductivity. The axion field mixes with photon
modes which superradiantly scatter off the magnetosphere, extracting rotational
energy which is then deposited back into the axion sector leading to an
instability. We derive the superradiant eigenfrequencies for the axion-photon
system using quantum mechanical perturbation theory on the axion boundstate,
drawing an analogy with atomic selection rules. We then compare the
characteristic time scale of the instability to the spin-down measurements of
pulsars which limit the allowed rate of angular momentum extraction from
neutron stars.

the dark matter is a confined state of a dark QCD gauge group whose confinement
scale is dynamically related to the QCD confinement scale by a mechanism

present a new, `zero-coupling infrared fixed point' approach, which allows a
larger proportion of models in this framework to generically relate the masses

computational tools necessary to model the production and decay of these

describe the Hawking radiation emitted by higher-dimensional black holes are
calculated numerically for the first time and then incorporated in a Monte

] | The top quark could provide very important information for the Standard Model extentions due to its large mass close to the electroweak symmetry breaking scale. In this work, anomalous single top production is studied by using gamma p-->W^{+}b process at the LHeC based gamma p collider. The sensitivity to anomalous coupling kappa/Lambda could be reached down to 0.01 TeV^{-1}. |

related to the pion, as a well-known Goldstone boson of chiral symmetry
breaking, that even the non-unitarized QLL$\sigma$M approach accounts, to a
good approximation, for a rather simple, self-consistent, linear, and very
predictive description of Nature. On the other hand, ChPT -- even when
unitarized -- provides a highly distorted, nonlinear, hardly predictive picture
of Nature, which fits experiment only at the price of a lot of parameters, and
requires a great deal of unnecessary theoretical effort. As the origin of this
distortion, we identify the fact that ChPT, reflecting only direct ChSB by
nonvanishing, current-quark-mass values, does not -- contrary to Quantum
Chromodynamics (QCD) and the QLL$\sigma$M -- contain any mechanism for the
spontaneous generation of the dynamical component of the constituent quark
mass. This leads to a very peculiar picture of Nature, since the strange
current quark mass has to compensate for the absence of nonstrange dynamical
quark masses. We thus conclude that standard ChPT -- contrary to common wisdom
-- is unlikely to be the low-energy limit of QCD. On the contrary, a chiral
perturbation theory derived from the QLL$\sigma$M, presumably being the true
low-energy limit of QCD, is expected instead to provide a distortion-free
description of Nature, which is based on the heavy standard-model Higgs boson
as well as light scalar mesons, as the source of spontaneous generation of
current and dynamical quark masses, respectively.

for a breaking of linearity in so-called King plots was proposed as a novel
method to search for physics beyond the standard model. In the light of the
recent experimental progress in isotope shift spectroscopy, the sensitivity of
these searches will become limited by the determination of the isotope masses
and/or by nuclear effects which may induce nonlinearities at an observable

gravity universally coupled to cosmological background fluids. In particular,
we investigate the possibility of recurrent acceleration, which was recently
shown to be generically realized in a wide class of axion-dilaton models, but
in absence of cosmological background fluids. We observe that, once we impose
the existence of radiation -and matter- dominated earlier stages of cosmic
evolution, the axion-dilaton dynamics is altered significantly with respect to
the case of pure axion-dilaton gravity. During the matter dominated epoch the
scalar fields remain either frozen, due to the large expansion rate, or enter a
cosmological scaling regime. In both cases, oscillations of the effective
equation of state around the acceleration boundary value are impossible. Models
which enter an oscillatory stage in the low redshift regime, on the other hand,
are disfavored by observations. We also comment on the viability of the
axion-dilaton system as a candidate for dynamical dark energy. In a certain
subclass of models, an intermediate scaling regime is succeeded by eternal
acceleration. We also briefly discuss the issue of dependence on initial
conditions.

] | We discuss a class of flat FRW cosmological models based on D=4 axion-dilaton gravity universally coupled to cosmological background fluids. In particular, we investigate the possibility of recurrent acceleration, which was recently shown to be generically realized in a wide class of axion-dilaton models, but in absence of cosmological background fluids. We observe that, once we impose the existence of radiation -and matter- dominated earlier stages of cosmic evolution, the axion-dilaton dynamics is altered significantly with respect to the case of pure axion-dilaton gravity. During the matter dominated epoch the scalar fields remain either frozen, due to the large expansion rate, or enter a cosmological scaling regime. In both cases, oscillations of the effective equation of state around the acceleration boundary value are impossible. Models which enter an oscillatory stage in the low redshift regime, on the other hand, are disfavored by observations. We also comment on the viability of the axion-dilaton system as a candidate for dynamical dark energy. In a certain subclass of models, an intermediate scaling regime is succeeded by eternal acceleration. We also briefly discuss the issue of dependence on initial conditions. |
