Working in the specific framework of Froggatt-Nielsen models, we compute the abundance of flavons in the early universe generated both via freeze-in and from coherent oscillations induced by thermal corrections to their potential, and discuss constraints on flavon models from cosmology. We find that cosmology places important constraints on theories containing flavons even for regions of parameter space inaccessible to collider searches. |

The present weighted average of its branching ratio measurements amounts to (3.34 \pm 0.27) x 10^-9, which remains in good agreement with the theoretical prediction of (3.64 \pm 0.12) x 10^-9 within the Standard Model. In the present paper, we review calculations that have contributed to this prediction, and discuss the associated uncertainties. |

because of the existence of an infinite set of so-called ''shadow GPDs''
(SGPDs). These SGPDs depend on the process and manifest as multiple solutions
(at a fixed scale $Q^2$) to the inverse problem that needs to be solved to
infer GPDs from DVCS data. SGPDs therefore pose a significant challenge for
extracting GPDs from DVCS data. With this motivation we study the extent to
which QCD evolution can provide constraints on SGPDs. This is possible because
the known classes of SGPDs begin to contribute to observables after evolution,
and can then be constrained (at the input scale $Q^2_0$) by data that has a
finite $Q^2$ range. The impact that SGPDs could have on determining the total
angular momentum, pressure and sheer force distributions, and tomography is
also discussed. Our key finding is that scale evolution, coupled with data over
a wide range of skewness $\xi$ and $Q^2$, can constrain the class of SGPDs that
we studied and potentially make possible the extraction of GPDs from DVCS data

nucleation theory. In mean-field approximation, after obtaining the effective
potential with inclusion of the fermionic vacuum term, we build a geometric
method to search two existing minima, which can be actually connected by a

bubble profiles, the surface tension, the typical radius of the bounce and the
saddle point action as a function of temperature are numerically calculated in
the presence of a nucleation bubble. It is found that the surface tension
remains a very small value even when the density is high. It is also noticed
that the deconfinement phase transition does not change chiral phase transition

broken by virtue of the Hosotani mechanism, the huge mass splitting between the
colored Higgs triplet and the electroweak Higgs doublet superfields is
naturally realized. As a byproduct, the existence of adjoint chiral superfields
with masses of the order of the supersymmetry breaking scale is predicted,
leading to the Higgs sector that contains an SU(2)_L triplet chiral multiplet
with hypercharge zero and a neutral singlet one in addition to the two SU(2)_L
doublets of the minimal supersymmetric standard model. We focus on the Higgs
sector and investigate to what extent the couplings of the standard model-like
Higgs boson and the masses of the additional Higgs bosons deviate from those in
the Standard Model and other models due to the new triplet and singlet chiral
multiplets. We show that this model can be distinguished using precision
measurements of couplings and masses of the Higgs sector particles and serves
as a good example of grand unification testable at colliders such as the
luminosity up-graded Large Hadron Collider and future electron-positron
colliders.

As a byproduct, the existence of adjoint chiral superfields with masses of the order of the supersymmetry breaking scale is predicted, leading to the Higgs sector that contains an SU(2)_L triplet chiral multiplet with hypercharge zero and a neutral singlet one in addition to the two SU(2)_L doublets of the minimal supersymmetric standard model. We focus on the Higgs sector and investigate to what extent the couplings of the standard model-like Higgs boson and the masses of the additional Higgs bosons deviate from those in the Standard Model and other models due to the new triplet and singlet chiral multiplets. We show that this model can be distinguished using precision measurements of couplings and masses of the Higgs sector particles and serves as a good example of grand unification testable at colliders such as the luminosity up-graded Large Hadron Collider and future electron-positron colliders. |

distributions of relativistic charged hadrons produced in ion-ion collisions at
SPS energies are investigated. The analysis of the experimental data is carried
out in terms of phase space bin-size dependence of multiplicity distributions
following the Takagi's approach. Yet another method is also followed to study
the multifractality which, is not related to the bin-width and (or) the
detector resolution, rather involves multiplicity distribution of charged
particles in full phase space in terms of information entropy and its
generalization, R\'{e}nyi's order-q information entropy. The findings reveal
the presence of multifractal structure-- a remarkable property of the
fluctuations. Nearly constant values of multifractal specific heat, 'c'
estimated by the two different methods of analysis followed indicate that the
parameter 'c' may be used as a universal characteristic of the particle
production in high energy collisions. The results obtained from the analysis of
the experimental data agree well with the predictions of Monte Carlo model
AMPT.

] | Entropy, dimensions and other multifractal characteristics of multiplicity distributions of relativistic charged hadrons produced in ion-ion collisions at SPS energies are investigated. The analysis of the experimental data is carried out in terms of phase space bin-size dependence of multiplicity distributions following the Takagi's approach. Yet another method is also followed to study the multifractality which, is not related to the bin-width and (or) the detector resolution, rather involves multiplicity distribution of charged particles in full phase space in terms of information entropy and its generalization, R\'{e}nyi's order-q information entropy. The findings reveal the presence of multifractal structure-- a remarkable property of the fluctuations. Nearly constant values of multifractal specific heat, 'c' estimated by the two different methods of analysis followed indicate that the parameter 'c' may be used as a universal characteristic of the particle production in high energy collisions. The results obtained from the analysis of the experimental data agree well with the predictions of Monte Carlo model AMPT. |

sensitivity for dark matter particles in the sub-MeV mass range by many orders
of magnitude. Here we study several candidate materials and calculate the
expected rates for dark matter scattering via light and heavy dark photons as
well as for dark photon absorption. A particular emphasis is placed on how to
distinguish a dark matter signal from background by searching for the
characteristic daily modulation of the signal, which arises from the
directional sensitivity of anisotropic materials in combination with the
rotation of the Earth. We revisit and improve previous calculations and propose
two new candidate Dirac materials: BNQ-TTF and Yb$_3$PbO. We perform detailed
calculations of the band structures of these materials and of ZrTe$_5$ based on
density functional theory and determine the band gap, the Fermi velocities and
the dielectric tensor. We show that in both ZrTe$_5$ and BNQ-TTF the amplitude
of the daily modulation can be larger than 10% of the total rate, allowing to
probe the preferred regions of parameter space even in the presence of sizeable
backgrounds. BNQ-TTF is found to be particularly sensitive to small dark matter
masses (below 100 keV for scattering and below 50 meV for absorption), while
Yb$_3$PbO performs best for heavier particles.

the dependence of $T$ on $\mu$, the values of $s/T^3$ increase with increasing

In addition to previously published work, it contains introductions to the
following topics: from classical mechanics to quantum field theory for the more
casual reader, electroweak naturalness, the Higgs as a pseudo-Nambu-Goldstone
boson, the MSSM and NMSSM, simple and less simple models of gauge-mediated Susy
breaking (GMSB), collider searches for Susy and other new theories, transverse
mass observables with missing energy, and Brazil-band plots. The previously
published work is as follows.
The optimally natural Higgs-stop sector in the MSSM in light of the 2012
discovery of a Higgs boson is derived, namely that of almost maximal mixing,
with the scalar top partners almost as light as can be. The discovery is also
interpreted numerically in the NMSSM, with greater emphasis placed on the
visibility of the Higgs boson at the observed mass, i.e. on signal strengths. I
investigate the role played by the mediation scale of GMSB: this is found to be
as a control of the extent to which Yukawa couplings de-tune flavour-blind
relations set by gauge couplings. Finally, issues relating to the discovery or
exclusion of Susy at colliders are discussed. Bounds are derived for the masses
of new particles from LHC searches for excesses of jets and missing energy
without leptons, and compared to constraints arising from Higgs boson searches,
for models of GMSB and the Constrained Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model. I
present a novel search strategy for new physics signatures with two neutral,
stable particles, when such particles are produced by boosted decays. (Susy
motivations include models with light gravitinos, pseudo-goldstinos, singlinos
or new photinos.) The method is shown to produce sharp mass peaks that enhance
the visibility of the signal, with mass reconstruction to 5% from O(100)
events.

unchanged | null | 10.1007/JHEP02(2022)050 | null | hep-ph hep-th | http://arxiv.org/licenses/nonexclusive-distrib/1.0/ | Theories beyond the Standard Model often contain mass scales hierarchically
different from the electroweak scale and the Planck scale. It has been shown
that such hierarchical mass scales can be realized as typical energy scales of
multiple 3-branes in a 5D warped spacetime. We present a mechanism for
stabilizing the intervals between the multiple 3-branes in the warped extra
dimension, by introducing a single 5D scalar field with brane-localized
potentials. We discuss the radion stabilization by solving the Einstein
equation and the scalar field equation of motion so that a backreaction effect
on the geometry due to the presence of the scalar field is taken into account.
Perturbations from the background configuration are then considered with proper
identification of multiple radion degrees of freedom. By solving their
equations of motion, we compute the mass spectrum of the radion-scalar field
system and the radion couplings to brane-localized matter fields, which are
found to be suppressed by typical energy scales and radion profiles at the
branes. We also compute the mass spectrum of Kaluza-Klein gravitons and their
profiles in the extra dimension. Some applications of the setup are briefly
described. Our analysis provides a solid ground to build 5D warped extra

Type-I seesaw mechanism, which is the simplest extension of the theory to
predict neutrino mass, and study the scenarios of sneutrino DM. We construct
likelihood function with LHC Higgs data, B-physics measurements, DM relic

scan over the parameter space of the theory by Nested Sampling method. We adopt
both Bayesian and frequentist statistical quantities to illustrate the favored
parameter space of the scenarios, the DM annihilation mechanism as well as the
features of DM-nucleon scattering. We find that the scenarios are viable over
broad parameter regions, especially the Higgsino mass $\mu$ can be below about
$250 {\rm GeV}$ for a significant part of the region, which predicts $Z$ boson
mass in a natural way. We also find that the DM usually co-annihilated with the
Higgsinos to get the measured relic density, and consequently the DM-nucleon
scattering rate is naturally suppressed to coincide with the recent XENON-1T
results even for light Higgsinos. Other issues, such as the LHC search for the

is required to fit the signal cross section, which indicates that there is
additional particle(s) that mediates the decay of X in the full theory. We find
that, introducing an SU(2) doublet vector-like quark of mass around 600 GeV in
our UV-complete framework can accommodate not only the diphoton but also the
on-Z excess (and potentially a slight excess in the monojet events). Our models
also include a dark matter candidate. The most useful way to probe the models
at the LHC is via monojet searches. The relic dark matter density is largely
determined by coannihilation effects, and indirect detection of dark matter
annihilation signals is the alternative and complementary probe of our models.

Minkowski space, so that we can study the effects of the significant vector and

important role in the study of the $\rho$, $\omega$ and $a_1$ mesons. We study
the modification of the quark self-energy in the presence of matter and find
that our model reproduces the behavior of the quark condensate predicted by the

we do not include a model of confinement, our study is restricted to the
analysis of quark matter. We provide some discussion of the modification of the
above formula for quark matter.) The inclusion of a quark current mass leads to
a second-order phase transition for the restoration of chiral symmetry. That
restoration is about 80% at twice nuclear matter density for the model
considered in this work. We also find that the part of the quark self-energy
that is explicitly dependent upon density has a strong negative Lorentz-scalar
term and a strong positive Lorentz-vector term, which is analogous to the
self-energy found for the nucleon in nuclear matter when one makes use of the
Dirac equation for the nucleon. In this work we calculate the nucleon self

S-wave charm and bottom baryons. The HQET Lagrangian containing the
non-perturbative parameters is shown with heavy baryon fields. The
non-perturbative parameters, couplings, and decay widths are also studied for
the S-wave singly heavy baryons. The HQET parameters $\overline{\Lambda}$,
$\lambda_1$ and $\lambda_2$ are calculated for the ground state ($n=1$) using
the masses of S-wave baryons. The mass term ratios of $n=1$ and $n=2$ mesons
and baryons containing parameters $\overline{\Lambda}$ and $\lambda_1$ are
studied by varying the bottom quark mass. This analysis shows that heavy quark
behaves the same inside mesons and baryons in both 1S and 2S states. The HQET
symmetry of $\overline{\Lambda}$ is used to find the parameters and masses for
$n=2$ S-wave baryons. The variation of mass of 2S baryons with the
non-perturbative parameters $\lambda_1$ and $\lambda_2$ is discussed. The Regge
trajectories are also plotted in the $(n,M^2)$ plane using masses of $n=1$ and
2 charm and bottom baryons. The Regge trajectories are parallel and equidistant
lines in the $(n,M^2)$ plane. We have also studied the strong decays of charm
and bottom baryons for both $n=1$ and $n=2$ states. We have estimated the
coupling constants $g_1=0.913^{+0.010}_{-0.017}$ and
$g_2=0.559^{+0.006}_{-0.010}$ for $n=1$, and
$\frac{\widetilde{g}_1}{\widetilde{g}_2}=1.52$ for $n=2$. We have also shown
the semi-electronic decays rates of charm baryons in the spectator heavy quark
approximation for $1S\rightarrow 1S$, $2S\rightarrow 1S$ and $2S\rightarrow 2S$
transitions. The decay rates for $1S\rightarrow 1S$ transitions are of same
order as $2S\rightarrow 1S$ transitions. This analysis gives a good agreement
with available theoretical and experimental data.

] | We have employed HQET to determine the masses of radially excited ($n=2$) S-wave charm and bottom baryons. The HQET Lagrangian containing the non-perturbative parameters is shown with heavy baryon fields. The non-perturbative parameters, couplings, and decay widths are also studied for the S-wave singly heavy baryons. The HQET parameters $\overline{\Lambda}$, $\lambda_1$ and $\lambda_2$ are calculated for the ground state ($n=1$) using the masses of S-wave baryons. The mass term ratios of $n=1$ and $n=2$ mesons and baryons containing parameters $\overline{\Lambda}$ and $\lambda_1$ are studied by varying the bottom quark mass. This analysis shows that heavy quark behaves the same inside mesons and baryons in both 1S and 2S states. The HQET symmetry of $\overline{\Lambda}$ is used to find the parameters and masses for $n=2$ S-wave baryons. The variation of mass of 2S baryons with the non-perturbative parameters $\lambda_1$ and $\lambda_2$ is discussed. The Regge trajectories are also plotted in the $(n,M^2)$ plane using masses of $n=1$ and 2 charm and bottom baryons. The Regge trajectories are parallel and equidistant lines in the $(n,M^2)$ plane. We have also studied the strong decays of charm and bottom baryons for both $n=1$ and $n=2$ states. We have estimated the coupling constants $g_1=0.913^{+0.010}_{-0.017}$ and $g_2=0.559^{+0.006}_{-0.010}$ for $n=1$, and $\frac{\widetilde{g}_1}{\widetilde{g}_2}=1.52$ for $n=2$. We have also shown the semi-electronic decays rates of charm baryons in the spectator heavy quark approximation for $1S\rightarrow 1S$, $2S\rightarrow 1S$ and $2S\rightarrow 2S$ transitions. The decay rates for $1S\rightarrow 1S$ transitions are of same order as $2S\rightarrow 1S$ transitions. This analysis gives a good agreement with available theoretical and experimental data. |
