amplitudes in QCD. Elastic baryon impact factors for two, three and four gluons
are presented and their energy evolution is described that incorporates
unitarity corrections. We find that the baryon couples directly to the BFKL
Pomeron, to the BKP odderon and to a new state, a three-gluon BKP Pomeron. The
new state may decay into four gluons with a new 3 -> 4 transition vertex. This
vertex defines the transition amplitude of the three-gluon BKP Pomeron state
into two BFKL Pomerons.

Compton scattering (TCS) process $\gamma p \to l^- l^+ p$. We study these
corrections in two energy regimes using different models for the TCS amplitude.
In the low-energy regime we calculate the contribution due to the proton and
its lowest-energy excitation, the $\Delta(1232)$ resonance. In the high-energy
near-forward kinematical regime we calculate the TCS amplitude in a handbag
approach in terms of Generalized Parton Distributions (GPDs). On the level of
cross sections we find the QED radiative corrections to be in the $5 -10\%$
range in the low-energy regime and around $20\%$ in the high-energy regime. We
show that in both the di-lepton forward-backward asymmetry as well as in the
photon beam helicity asymmetry these corrections nearly cancel out, making them
gold-plated observables to extract the real and imaginary parts of the TCS
amplitude. We demonstrate in particular the sensitivity of these asymmetries on
GPD parameterizations for a recent CLAS12@JLab TCS experiment.

final averages/estimates, in the heavy-light case the field is less advanced
and, with the exception of decay constants, only a few computations are
available. The precision reached for the light quantities is such that
electromagnetic (EM) corrections, beyond the point-like approximation, are
becoming relevant. We discuss recent computations of the spectrum based on

the 4-component 2nd-order differential equation and the radial part of this
equation is simply a Schroedinger-type equation with various terms calculated

section for virtual $\gamma^*p$ scattering, has a saturated Froissart-bounded
form behaving as $\ln^2 (1/x)$ at small $x$. This form provides an excellent
fit to the low $x$ HERA data, including the very low $Q^2$ regions, and can be
extrapolated reliably to small $x$ using the natural variable $\ln(1/x)$. We
used our fit to derive quark distributions for values of $x$ down to
$x=10^{-14}$. We use those distributions here to evaluate ultra-high energy
(UHE) cross sections for neutrino scattering on an isoscalar nucleon,
$N=(n+p)/2$, up to laboratory neutrino energies $E_\nu \sim 10^{16}$-$10^{17}$
GeV where there are now limits on neutrino fluxes. We estimate that these cross
sections are accurate to $\sim$2% at the highest energies considered, with the
major uncertainty coming from the errors in the parameters that were needed to
fit $F_2^{\gamma p}(x,Q^2)$. We compare our results to recently published
neutrino cross sections derived from NLO parton distribution functions, which
become much larger at high energies because of the use of power-law
extrapolations of quark distributions to small $x$. We argue that our
calculation of the UHE $\nu N$ cross sections is the best one can make based
the existing experimental deep inelastic scattering data. Further, we show that
the strong interaction Froissart bound of $\ln^2 (1/x)$ on $F_2^{\gamma p}$
translates to an exact bound of $\ln^3E_\nu$ for leading-order-weak $\nu N$
scattering. The energy dependence of $\nu N$ total cross section measurements
consequently has important implications for hadronic interactions at enormous

We argue that fermions coupled to the scalar field of the string can also make the string stable and discuss the physical case where the string is coupled to quarks and leptons. This stabilization mechanism is expected to work for other embedded defects and also for unstable solutions such as the sphaleron. |

wide energy range extending the measurements which were performed at HERA,
providing new information about interplay of soft and hard physics in
diffraction. Also, we calculate the contributions to the vector meson yield due
to production of vector mesons off nuclear target by photons emitted by proton.
We find, that least in the case of Upsilon production it is feasible to observe
simultaneously both these processes. Such measurements would increase the
precision with which the A-dependence of exclusive onium production can be
determined. This would also enable one to estimate the amount of nuclear gluon
shadowing of generalized gluon distributions at much smaller x than that is
possible in AA collisions and to measure the cross sections for photoproduction
processes in a significantly wider energy range than that achieved in
experiments with fixed nuclear targets. We also present the cross section for
vector meson production in pA collisions at RHIC. In addition, we consider
production of vector mesons off protons with large rapidity gaps and large t.
These processes probe small x dynamics of the elastic interaction of small
dipoles at high energies and large but finite t, that is in the kinematics

] | The soft function in non-abelian gauge theories exponentiate, and their logarithms can be organised in terms of the collections of Feynman diagrams called Cwebs. The colour factors that appear in the logarithm are controlled by the web mixing matrices. Direct construction of the diagonal blocks of Cwebs using the new concepts of Normal ordering, basis Cweb and Fused-Web was recently carried out in~\cite{Agarwal:2022wyk}. In this article we establish correspondence between the boomerang webs introduced in ~\cite{Gardi:2021gzz} and non-boomerang Cwebs. We use this correspondence together with Uniqueness theorem and Fused web formalism introduced in ~\cite{Agarwal:2022wyk} to obtain the diagonal blocks of four general classes of Cwebs to all orders in perturbation theory which also cover all the four loop Boomerang Cwebs connecting four Wilson lines. We also fully construct the mixing matrix of a special Cweb to all orders in perturbation theory. |

The specific flavor structure of the model, guided by the $A_4 \times Z_4

yields the conventional seesaw contribution to produce the tribimaximal lepton
mixing which is further corrected by the presence of the $SU(2)_L$ triplet
contribution to accommodate $\theta_{13}$. We consider the CP symmetry to be
spontaneously broken by the complex vacuum expectation value (vev) of a singlet

$\theta_{13}$, its phase part induces the low energy CP violating phase
($\delta$) and the CP violation required for leptogenesis. Hence the triplet
contribution, although sub-dominant, plays crucial role in providing a common
source for non-zero $\theta_{13}$, $\delta$ and CP-violation required for
leptogenesis. We find that the recent hint for $\delta$ close to $3\pi/2$ is

correlations between $B$-hadron pairs through their subsequent decays to
$J/\psi$ pairs at 7 and 8 TeV for four minimum values of the $J/\psi$ $p_T$.
Purpose: In this work, these measurements are compared to calculations of $b
\bar b$ pairs and their hadronization and inclusive decays to $J/\psi J/\psi$
are compared to the same observables. Potential cold matter effects on the $b
\bar b$ pair observables are discussed to determine which are most likely to
provide insights about the system and why. Methods: The calculations, employing
the exclusive HVQMNR code, assume the same intrinsic $k_T$-broadening and
fragmentation as in [R. Vogt, Phys. Rev. C {\bf 98} (2018) 034907]. The pair
distributions presented by LHCb are calculated in this approach, both for the
parent $b \bar b$ and the $J/\psi J/\psi$ pairs produced in their decay. The
sensitivity of the results to the intrinsic $k_T$ broadening is shown. The
theoretical uncertainties due to the $b$ quark mass and scale variations on
both the initial $b \bar b$ pairs and the resulting $J/\psi$ pairs are also
shown. Possible effects due to the presence of the nucleus are studied by
increasing the size of the $k_T$ broadening and modification of the
fragmentation parameter. Results: Good agreement with the LHCb data is found
for all observables. The parent $b \bar b$ distributions are more sensitive to
the $k_T$ broadening than are the final-state $J/\psi$ pairs. Conclusions:
Next-to-leading order calculations with $k_T$ broadening, as in [R. Vogt, Phys.
Rev. C {\bf 98} (2018) 034907], can describe all correlated observables.
Multiple measurements of correlated observables are sensitive to different
nuclear effects which can help distinguish between them.

directly at the CERN $Z_0$-factory and low-energy (at few GeV) measurements

There exists an attempt to reconcile this discrepancy by introducing a light
gluino $\gl$ in the MSSM.
We study in detail the influence of heavy thresholds on \alpha_s(Q)
evolution. First, we consruct the "exact" explicit solution to the
mass-dependent two-loop RG equation for the running \alpha_s(Q). This solution
describes heavy thresholds smoothly. Second, we use this solution to
recalculate anew \alpha_s(M_Z) values corresponding to "low-energy" input data.
Our analysis demonstrates that using {\it mass-dependent RG procedure}
generally produces corrections of two types: Asymptotic correction due to
effective shift of threshold position; Local threshold correction only for the
case when input experiment lies in the close vicinity of heavy particle
threshold: $Q_{expt} \simeq M_h $.
Both effects result in the effective shift of the \asmz values of the order
of $10^{-3}$. However, the second one could be enhanced when the gluino mass is
close to a heavy quark mass. For such a case the sum effect could be important
for the discussion of the light gluino existence as it further changes the
$\gl$ mass.

eight that are quartic in bosons (either Higgs or gauge fields) and that

Heavy-elemental atoms and molecules are considered to be among the most
promising candidates for a first direct detection of P,T-violation due to
enhancement effects that increase steeply with increasing nuclear charge number

complicates obtaining rigorous bounds on P,T-violation on a fundamental level.
Consequently, several experiments of complementary sensitivity to these

P,T-odd parameter space from an electronic-structure theory perspective. Rules
of thumb are derived for the choice of atoms and molecules in terms of their

contributions stemming from the odd intrinsic parity $|\Delta S| = 1$ effective
Lagrangian of order $p^4$ are included and shown to be of possible relevance.
They affect the decay $K_L \to \gamma\gamma$ adding to the usual pole terms a
piece free of counterterm uncertainties. In the case of the $K_L \to \ell^+
\ell^- \gamma$ decays the dependence of the form factor on the dilepton
invariant mass requires a counterterm. The form factor may receive a sizeable
contribution from chiral logarithms. Including considerations from the $K_L \to
\pi^+ \pi^- \gamma$ direct emission amplitude, we obtain two consistent
scenarios. In one scenario the long distance contributions from the one-loop
terms are important, while in the other they are marginal. In both cases the
counterterm is shown to be significant.

One-loop contributions stemming from the odd intrinsic parity $|\Delta S| = 1$ effective Lagrangian of order $p^4$ are included and shown to be of possible relevance. They affect the decay $K_L \to \gamma\gamma$ adding to the usual pole terms a piece free of counterterm uncertainties. In the case of the $K_L \to \ell^+ \ell^- \gamma$ decays the dependence of the form factor on the dilepton invariant mass requires a counterterm. The form factor may receive a sizeable contribution from chiral logarithms. Including considerations from the $K_L \to \pi^+ \pi^- \gamma$ direct emission amplitude, we obtain two consistent scenarios. In one scenario the long distance contributions from the one-loop terms are important, while in the other they are marginal. In both cases the counterterm is shown to be significant. |

before decaying to the gravitino at time t ~ 10^4 s - 10^8 s. In contrast to
studies that assume a fixed gravitino relic density, the thermal relic density
assumption implies upper, not lower, bounds on superpartner masses, with
important implications for particle colliders. We consider slepton, sneutrino,

of these cases, applying CMB and electromagnetic and hadronic BBN constraints
to the leading two- and three-body NLSP decays. Hadronic constraints have been
neglected previously, but we find that they provide the most stringent
constraints in much of the natural parameter space. We then discuss the
collider phenomenology of supergravity with a gravitino LSP. We find that
colliders may provide important insights to clarify BBN and the thermal history
of the Universe below temperatures around 10 GeV and may even provide precise
measurements of the gravitino's mass and couplings.

structure functions, which are functions of the transverse momentum and the

production and decay differ significantly from those in the Standard Model.
However, one genuine strong coupling signature is the growth with energy of the
scattering amplitudes among the Goldstone bosons, the longitudinally polarized
vector bosons as well as the Higgs boson itself. The rate for double Higgs
production in vector boson fusion is thus enhanced with respect to its
negligible rate in the SM. We study that reaction in pp collisions, where the
production of two Higgs bosons at high pT is associated with the emission of
two forward jets. We concentrate on the decay mode hh -> WW^(*)WW^(*) and study
the semi-leptonic decay chains of the W's with 2, 3 or 4 leptons in the final
states. While the 3 lepton final states are the most relevant and can lead to a
3 sigma signal significance with 300 fb^{-1} collected at a 14 TeV LHC, the two

We point out that it is necessary to use circularly polarized photon beams to produce efficiently heavy Higgs bosons whose masses exceed the electron beam energy, and show that the above interference patterns of the production amplitudes can be studied by observing top decay angular distributions. Analytic expressions for the helicity amplitudes for the sequential process $\gamma\gamma \to t \bar{t} \to (bW^+) (\bar{b}W^-) \to (b f_1 \bar{f}_2) (\bar{b} f_3 \bar{f}_4)$ are presented in terms of the generic $\gamma\gamma \to t \bar{t}$ production amplitudes. |

Hadron Collider | 16 pages, 3 figures, 4 tables | null | null | null | hep-ph hep-ex | http://arxiv.org/licenses/nonexclusive-distrib/1.0/ | We consider, in the context of the Large Hadron Collider, the signals of the
Type-X two Higgs doublet model (2HDM) in the parameter region answering to the
best possible solution to the muon $(g-2)$ data within this framework. The
analysis takes into account all theoretical and observational constraints, and
is based on the final state comprising a same-sign dilepton pair and a pair of
same-sign $\tau$ jets. The crucial ingredient in making the signal clean is the
same-sign feature of both the dilepton and the $\tau$-jet pair individually.
After a detailed estimate of the signal and all noteworthy backgrounds, we show
that this channel offers by far the best signal significance among those
studied so far, predicting discovery with an integrated luminosity of 3000
fb$^{-1}$, and strong indications even with 1000 fb$^{-1}$ if systematic
uncertainies do not exceed about 10%. We also demonstrate that the recently
developed dynamic radius jet algorithm is effective in this connection.

inflaton potential is very well approximated by a polynomial potential for the
parameters of our interest in any practical sense, and in particular, the
spectral index and the tensor-to-scalar ratio can be estimated by single-field
approximation. This justifies our analysis of the polynomial chaotic inflation

decay process with strangeness variation equal to minus one, which is the case

other B three-body decays allows non trivial final state interactions with all
sort of rescattering processes and also access high momentum transfers in the
central region of the Dalitz plane. In this work we investigate the charm
Penguin contribution to $B^\pm \to K^\pm K^+ K^-$, described by a hadronic
triangle loop in nonperturbative regions of the phase space, and by a partonic
loop at the quasi perturbative region. These nonresonant amplitudes should have
a particular structure in the Dalitz plane and their contributions to the final
decay amplitude can be confirmed by a data amplitude analysis in this channel.
In particular, the hadronic amplitude has a changing sign in the phase at
$D\bar{D}$ threshold which can result in a change of sign for the CP asymmetry.
