Threshold expansions of the $\pi\pi$ and $K\overline{K}$ spin 0 and isospin 0 scattering amplitudes are performed. Scattering lengths, effective ranges and so--called volume parameters are evaluated. Good agreement with the existing experimental data for the $\pi\pi$ scalar--isoscalar amplitude is found. An importance of future accurate measurements of the $K\overline{K}$ threshold parameters is stressed. New data are needed to understand the basic features of the scalar mesons.

This review is devoted to the Multiple Point Principle (MPP), according to which several vacuum states with the same energy density exist in Nature. The MPP is implemented to the Standard Model (SM), Family replicated gauge group model (FRGGM) and phase transitions in gauge theories with/without monopoles. Lattice gauge theories are reviewed. The lattice results for critical coupling constants are compared with those of the Higgs Monopole Model (HMM), in which the lattice artifact monopoles are replaced by the point-like Higgs scalar particles with a magnetic charge. Considering our (3+1)-dimensional space-time as discrete, for example, as a lattice with a parameter a=\lambda_P, equal to the Planck length, we have investigated the additional contributions of monopoles to beta-functions of renormalization group equations in the FRGGM extended beyond the SM at high (the Planck scale) energies. We have reviewed that, in contrast to the Anti-grand unified theory (AGUT), there exists a possibility of unification of all gauge interactions (including gravity) near the Planck scale due to monopoles. The unifications [SU(5)]^3 and [SO(10)]^3 at the GUT-scale \sim 10^{18} GeV are briefly discussed.

The interaction due to the exchange of massless neutrinos between neutrons is a long-range force. Border effects on this multibody exchange inside a dense core are studied and computed analytically in 1 + 1 dimensions. We demonstrate in this work that a proper treatment of the star's border effect automatically incorporates the condensate contribution as a consequence of the appropriate boundary conditions for the neutrino Feynman propagator inside the star. The total multibody exchange contribution is infrared-safe and vanishes exactly in 1 + 1 dimensions. The general conclusion of this work is that the border effect does not modify the result that neutrino exchange is infrared-safe. This toy model prepares the ground and gives the tools for the study of the realistic 3 + 1 star.

If the fourth generation fermions exist, the new quarks could influence the branching ratio of the decay $B_s \to \nu \bar{\nu} \gamma$. We obtain two solutions of the fourth generation CKM factor $V^*_{t's} V_{t'b}$ from the decay of $B \to X_s \gamma$. With these two solutions we calculate the new contributions of the fourth generation quark to Wilson coefficients of the decay $B_s \to \nu \bar{\nu} \gamma$. The branching ratio of the decay $B_s \to \nu \bar{\nu} \gamma$ in the two cases are calculated. In one case, our results are quite different from that of SM, but almost same in another case. If a fourth generation should exist in nature and nature chooses the former case, this B meson decay could provide a possible test of the fourth generation existence.

The antiquark-diquark-diquark model describes pentaquark states both in terms of quarks and hadrons. We discuss pentaquark states with hidden charm $P(\bar c cuud)$ discovered in the $J/\Psi p$ spectrum by the LHCb collaboration. We consider three pentaquark states as members of the lowest ($S$-wave) multiplet and discuss the mass splitting scheme. The latest LHCb data for pentaquarks with hidden charm provide an opportunity to make an assumption about the diquark content of the pentaquark states. We give a classification for the LHCb pentaquarks and define recombination channels for these states.

We infer dark matter properties from gamma ray residuals extracted using eight different interstellar emission scenarios proposed by the Fermi-LAT Collaboration to explain the Galactic Center gamma ray excess. Adopting the most plausible simplified ansatz, we assume that the dark matter particle is a Majorana fermion interacting with standard fermions via a scalar mediator. Using this theoretical hypothesis and the Fermi residuals we calculate Bayesian evidences, including Fermi-LAT exclusion limits from 15 dwarf spheroidal galaxies as well. Our Bayes factors single out four of the Fermi scenarios as compatible with the simplified dark matter model. In the most preferred scenario the dark matter (mediator) mass is in the 100-500 (1-200) GeV range and its annihilation is dominated by top quark final state. Less preferred but still plausible is annihilation into b\bar{b} and tau^+tau^- final states with an order of magnitude lower dark matter mass. Our conclusion is that the properties of dark matter extracted from gamma ray data are highly sensitive to the modeling of the interstellar emission.

We bring together different puzzles in physics beyond the Standard Model of particle physics. Within our model baryogenesis, neutrino mass, strong CP and dark matter puzzles are related. The common ingredient in connecting these puzzles is the Kalb-Ramond field, a two form present in the gravitational multiplet in the theory of closed strings. Leptons are fermions which we need to couple to gravitational degrees of freedom using a vierbein formalism. The presence of torsion provided by a Kalb-Ramond background leads us to firstly an effective model involving the Einstein-Cartan formulation of gravity, a gauge theory, in which coupling to fermions is via a covariant derivative and secondly to a mechanism for CPT violation. This picture emerges from a low energy string effective action obtained from a closed bosonic string theory after compactification to four dimensions. The Kalb-Ramond field in four dimensions can be identified with a pseudoscalar gravitational axion. Because of the presence of an axial anomaly this axion can couple with the gluon field, and in this way allows a connection with the strong CP problem and axionic dark matter.

We investigate the form factors of the chiral-odd nucleon matrix element of the tensor current. In particular, we aim at the anomalous tensor magnetic form factors of the nucleon within the framework of the SU(3) and SU(2) chiral quark-soliton model. We consider $1/N_c$ rotational corrections and linear effects of SU(3) symmetry breaking with the symmetry-conserving quantization employed. We first obtain the results of the anomalous tensor magnetic moments for the up and down quarks: $\kappa_{T}^{u}=3.56$ and $\kappa_{T}^{d}=1.83$, respectively. The strange anomalous tensor magnetic moment is yielded to be $\kappa_{T}^{s}=0.2\sim -0.2$, that is compatible with zero. We also calculate the corresponding form factors $\kappa_{T}^{q}(Q^{2})$ up to a momentum transfer $Q^{2}\leq 1\,\mathrm{GeV}^{2}$ at a renormalization scale of $0.36\,\mathrm{GeV}^{2}$.

We develop the quantum field theory of electron-point magnetic monopole interactions and more generally, dyon-dyon interactions, based on the original string-dependent ``nonlocal'' action of Dirac and Schwinger. We demonstrate that a viable nonperturbative quantum field theoretic formulation can be constructed that results in a string {\em independent} cross section for monopole-electron and dyon-dyon scattering. Such calculations can be done only by using nonperturbative approximations such as the eikonal and not by some mutilation of lowest-order perturbation theory.

In this paper, we perform a detailed analysis on the same-sign dilepton signature in the inert doublet model. Focusing on the low dark matter mass region, we randomly scan the corresponding parameter space. Viable samples allowed by various constraints are obtained, among which twenty benchmark points are selected for further collider signature study. At hadron colliders, the same-sign dilepton signature is produced via $pp\to W^{\pm *}W^{\pm *}jj \to H^\pm H^\pm jj$ with the leptonic decay mode $ H^\pm \to HW^\pm (\to l^\pm \nu)$, where $H$ is the dark matter candidate. We investigate the testability of this signal at the high-luminosity LHC (HL-LHC) and the proposed 27 TeV high-energy LHC (HE-LHC). According to our simulation, the HL-LHC with $\mathcal{L}=3~ab^{-1}$ can hardly probe this signal. Meanwhile, for the HE-LHC with $\mathcal{L}=15~ab^{-1}$, it is promising to obtain a $5\sigma$ significance when $250~\text{GeV}\lesssim m_{H^\pm}-m_H\lesssim 300$ GeV with dark matter mass $m_H\sim 60$ or 71 GeV.

While the included Z and W data are found to have insufficient statistics to yield stringent constraints, the CMS 5.02 TeV proton-lead dijet data prove crucial in setting the shape of nuclear gluon modifications. With these and other observables being measured in proton-lead runs, we are experiencing a shift of nPDFs to the LHC precision era.

We present recent results in semileptonic and non-leptonic exclusive $B_c$ decays to charmonium states both in $S$-wave, $J/\psi$ and $\eta_c$, and in $P$-wave, $\chi_{cJ}$ and $h_c$. The analysis, based on the heavy quark spin symmetry (HQSS), produces relations among form factors that parametrize the hadronic matrix elements in the amplitudes of the decays.

We present recent results in semileptonic and non-leptonic exclusive $B_c$ decays to charmonium states both in $S$-wave, $J/\psi$ and $\eta_c$, and in $P$-wave, $\chi_{cJ}$ and $h_c$. The analysis, based on the heavy quark spin symmetry (HQSS), produces relations among form factors that parametrize the hadronic matrix elements in the amplitudes of the decays. These relations are helpful to control the hadronic uncertainty affecting these processes. Furthermore, $B_c$ decays allow us to get hints on the structure of states like $\chi_{c1}(3872)$, whose exotic or ordinary charmonium nature is debated.

We present a scotogenic model, i.e. a one-loop neutrino mass model with dark right-handed neutrino gauge singlets and one inert dark scalar gauge doublet $\eta$, which has symmetries that lead to co-bimaximal mixing, i.e. to an atmospheric mixing angle $\theta_{23} = 45^\circ$ and to a $CP$-violating phase $\delta = \pm \pi/2$, while the mixing angle $\theta_{13}$ remains arbitrary. The symmetries consist of softly broken lepton numbers $L_\alpha$ ($\alpha = e,\mu,\tau$), a non-standard $CP$ symmetry, and three $Z_2$ symmetries. We indicate two possibilities for extending the model to the quark sector. Since the model has, besides $\eta$, three scalar gauge doublets, we perform a thorough discussion of its scalar sector. We demonstrate that it can accommodate a Standard Model-like scalar with mass $125\, \mathrm{GeV}$, with all the other charged and neutral scalars having much higher masses.

We discuss two possible extensions to the standard model in which an inert singlet scalar state that only interacts with the Higgs boson is added together with some fermions. In one model the fermions provide for a see-saw mechanism for the neutrino masses, in the other model for grand unification of the gauge couplings. Masses and interaction strengths are fixed by the requirement of controlling the finite one-loop corrections to the Higgs boson mass thus addressing the little hierarchy problem. The inert scalar could provide a viable dark matter candidate. Direct detection of this scalar singlet in nuclear scattering experiments is possible with a cross section within reach of future experiments.

Considering the hierarchical structure of fermionic masses and the fermionic flavor mixing puzzles in the Standard Model, we propose to relate them by the see-saw mechanism, i.e. only the third generation of quarks and charged leptons achieve the masses at the tree level, the first two generations achieves masses through the mixings with the third generation, and the neutrinos achieve tiny Majorana masses by the so-called Type-I see-saw mechanism. This new picture at the fermion sector can explain simultaneously the flavor mixing puzzle and mass hierarchy puzzle in the SM. In addition, a flavor-dependent model (FDM) is proposed to realize the new mechanism, and observing the top quark rare decay processes $t\to ch$, $t\to uh$ and the lepton flavor violation processes $\mu\to3e,\;\tau\to3e,\;\mu\to3\mu$ is effective to test the proposed FDM.

Effective magnetic $SU(N)$ gauge theory with classical $Z_N$ flux tubes of intrinsic width $\frac{1}{M}$ is an effective field theory of the long distance quark-antiquark interaction in $SU(N)$ Yang-Mills theory. Long wavelength fluctuations of the $Z_N$ vortices of this theory lead to an effective string theory. In this paper we clarify the connection between effective field theory and effective string theory and we propose a new constraint on these vortices. We first examine the impact of string fluctuations on the classical dual superconductor description of confinement. At inter-quark distances $R\sim \frac{1}{M}$ the classical action for a straight flux tube determines the heavy quark potentials. At distances $R \gg \frac{1}{M}$ fluctuations of the flux tube axis $\tilde{x}$ give rise to an effective string theory with an action $S_{eff} (\tilde{x})$, the classical action for a curved flux tube, evaluated in the limit $\frac{1}{M} \rightarrow 0~$. This action is equal to the Nambu-Goto action. These conclusions are independent of the details of the $Z_N$ flux tube. Further, we assume the QCD flux tube satisfies the additional constraint: $$\int_0^\infty r dr \frac{T_{\theta \theta} (r)}{r^2} =0,$$ where $\frac{T_{\theta \theta}(r)}{r^2}$ is the value of the $\theta\theta$ component of the stress tensor at a distance $r$ from the axis of an infinite flux tube. Under this constraint the string tension $\sigma$ equals the force on a quark in the chromoelectric field $\vec{E}$ of an infinite straight flux tube, and the Nambu-Goto action can be represented in terms of the chromodynamic fields of effective magnetic $SU(N)$ gauge theory, yielding a field theory interpretation of effective string theory.

Three Loop Neutrino Model with Isolated $k^{\pm\pm}$

We propose a three loop radiative neutrino mass scenario with an isolated doubly charged singlet scalar $k^{\pm\pm}$ without couplings to the charged leptons, while two other singly charged scalars $h_1^\pm$ and $h_2^\pm$ attach to them. In this setup, the lepton flavor violation originating from $k^{\pm\pm}$ exchanges is suppressed and the model is less constrained, where some couplings can take sizable values. As reported in our previous work, the loop suppression factor at the three loop level would be too strong and realized neutrino masses in a three loop scenario could be smaller than the observed minuscule values. The sizable couplings can help us to enhance neutrino masses without drastically large scalar trilinear couplings appearing in a neutrino mass matrix, which tends to drive the vacuum stability to become jeopardized at the one loop level. Now the doubly charged scalar $k^{\pm\pm}$ has less constraint via lepton flavor violation and the vacuum can be quite stable, and thus a few hundred GeV mass in $k^{\pm\pm}$ is possible, which is within the LHC reach and this model can be tested in the near future. Note that the other $h_1^\pm$ and $h_2^\pm$ should be heavy at least around a few TeV. We suitably arrange the charges of an additional global $U(1)$ symmetry, where the decay constant of the associated Nambu-Goldstone boson can be around a TeV scale consistently. Also, this model is indirectly limited through a global analysis on results of the LHC Higgs search and issues on a dark matter candidate, the lightest Majorana neutrino. After $h_1^\pm$ and $h_2^\pm$ are decoupled, this particle couples to the standard model particles only through two charge parity even scalars in theory and thus information on this scalar sector is important. Consistent solutions are found, but a part of them is now on the edge.

The muon collider has recently received a great deal of attention because of its ability to achieve both high energy and high luminosity. It plays as a gauge boson collider because the vector boson scattering (VBS) becomes the dominant production topology for Standard Model processes starting from a few TeV of collision energy. In this paper, we propose that the process of $\mu^+\mu^-$ annihilation into tri-photon is also very sensitive to the search of anomalous quartic gauge couplings (aQGCs). We investigate the projected constraints on the transverse operators contributing to aQGCs through $\mu^+\mu^-\to Z^\ast/\gamma^\ast\to \gamma\gamma\gamma$ at muon colliders. For the muon collider with $\sqrt{s}=3$ TeV and $\mathcal{L}=1\;{\rm ab}^{-1}$, the expected constraints are about two orders of magnitude stronger than those at the 13 TeV LHC.

We calculate single top-quark production at hadron colliders via the chromo-magnetic flavor-changing neutral current couplings $\bar tcg$ and $\bar tug$. We find that the strength for the anomalous $\bar tcg$ ($\bar tug$) coupling may be probed to $\kappa_c / \Lambda = 0.092 {TeV}^{-1}$ ($\kappa_u / \Lambda = 0.026 {TeV}^{-1}$) at the Tevatron with $2 {fb}^{-1}$ of data and $\kappa_c / \Lambda = 0.013 {TeV}^{-1}$ ($\kappa_u / \Lambda = 0.0061 {TeV}^{-1}$) at the LHC with $10 {fb}^{-1}$ of data. The two couplings may be distinguished by a comparision of the single top signal with the direct top and top decay signals for these couplings.

Machine learning has become an essential tool in jet physics. Due to their complex, high-dimensional nature, jets can be explored holistically by neural networks in ways that are not possible manually. However, innovations in all areas of jet physics are proceeding in parallel. We show that specially constructed machine learning models trained for a specific jet classification task can improve the accuracy, precision, or speed of all other jet physics tasks. This is demonstrated by training on a particular multiclass classification task and then using the learned representation for different classification tasks, for datasets with a different (full) detector simulation, for jets from a different collision system ($pp$ versus $ep$), for generative models, for likelihood ratio estimation, and for anomaly detection. Our OmniLearn approach is thus a foundation model and is made publicly available for use in any area where state-of-the-art precision is required for analyses involving jets and their substructure.

We have addressed the study of non-leptonic weak decays of heavy hadrons ($\Lambda_b, \Lambda_c, B$ and $D$), with external and internal emission to give two final hadrons, taking into account the spin-angular momentum structure of the mesons and baryons produced. A detailed angular momentum formulation is developed which leads to easy final formulas. By means of them we have made predictions for a large amount of reactions, up to a global factor, common to many of them, that we take from some particular data. Comparing the theoretical predictions with the experimental data, the agreement found is quite good in general and the discrepancies should give valuable information on intrinsic form factors, independent of the spin structure studied here. The formulas obtained are also useful in order to evaluate meson-meson or meson-baryon loops, for instance of $B$ decays, in which one has PP, PV, VP or VV intermediate states, with P for pseudoscalar mesons and V for vector meson and lay the grounds for studies of decays into three final particles.

The spectrum of glueballs with quantum numbers $J^\mathsf{PC}=0^{\pm+},2^{\pm+},3^{\pm+},4^{\pm+}$ is calculated in quenched quantum chromodynamics from bound state equations. The input is taken from a parameter-free calculation of two- and three-point functions. Our results agree well with lattice results where available and contain also some additional states. For the scalar glueball, we present first results for the effects of additional diagrams which turn out to be strongly suppressed.

A quarkonium model of the recently discovered X boson at 125 GeV is investigated. Two isosinglet $J^{PC}=0^{-+}$ resonances $\zeta$ and $\zeta'$ mix and their masses are determined by the masses of the bottomonium and toponium eigenstates. This mixing is enhanced by the non-perturbative gluon interaction produced by an axial $U_A(1)$ anomaly. The resonance $\zeta$ is identified with the 125 GeV boson X, while the heavier $\zeta'$ resonance has a mass 230 GeV. We assess the most recent data for the decay mode $X\rightarrow ZZ^*\rightarrow$ 4 leptons with a critical discussion of the determination of the parity of the $X$ boson.

In this talk, I present results for the most important Higgs-boson production cross sections at the LHC and the Tevatron as well as the branching fractions of the relevant decay channels in the custodial Randall-Sundrum model. The results are based on a complete one-loop calculation, taking into account all possible Kaluza-Klein particles in the loop. Due to the strong infrared localization of the top quark and the Kaluza-Klein excitations, the SM predictions receive sizable corrections in the model at hand. This could effect Higgs searches significantly.

We investigate a new constraint on new-physics interpretations of the anomalies observed in $B\to D^{(*)}\tau\nu$ decays making use of the lifetime of the $B_c^-$ meson. A constraint is obtained by demanding that the rate for $B_c^-\to\tau^-\bar\nu$ does not exceed the fraction of the total width that is allowed by the calculation of the lifetime in the standard model. This leads to a very strong bound on new-physics scenarios involving scalar operators since they lift the slight, but not negligible, chiral suppression of the $B_c^-\to\tau^-\bar\nu$ amplitude in the standard model. The new constraint renders a scalar interpretation of the enhancement measured in $R_{D^*}$ implausible, including explanations implementing extra Higgs doublets or certain classes of leptoquarks. We also discuss the complementarity of $R_{D^{(*)}}$ and a measurement of the longitudinal polarization of the $\tau$ in the $B\to D^*\tau\nu$ decay in light of our findings.

The $\pi_0$ neutral meson pole mass is calculated in a strongly magnetized medium using the SU(2) Nambu-Jona-Lasinio model within the random phase approximation (RPA) at zero temperature and zero baryonic density. We employ a magnetic field dependent coupling, $G(eB)$, fitted to reproduce lattice QCD results for the quark condensates. Divergent quantities are handled with a magnetic field independent regularization scheme in order to avoid unphysical oscillations. A comparison between the running and the fixed couplings reveals that the former produces results much closer to the predictions from recent lattice calculations. In particular, we find that the $\pi_0$ meson mass systematically decreases when the magnetic field increases while the scalar mass remains almost constant. We also investigate how the magnetic background influences other mesonic properties such as $f_{{\pi}_0}$ and $g_{\pi_0 q q}$.

The isosinglet scalar mesons $f_0(1710)$, $f_0(1500)$, $f_0(1370)$ and their mixing are studied. Two recent lattice results are employed as the starting point; one is the approximate SU(3) symmetry in the scalar sector above 1 GeV for the connected insertion part without $q\bar q$ annihilation, and the other is the scalar glueball mass at 1710 MeV in the quenched approximation. In the SU(3) symmetry limit, $f_0(1500)$ becomes a pure SU(3) octet and is degenerate with $a_0(1450)$, while $f_0(1370)$ is mainly an SU(3) singlet with a slight mixing with the scalar glueball which is the primary component of $f_0(1710)$. These features remain essentially unchanged even when SU(3) breaking is taken into account. The observed enhancement of $\omega f_0(1710)$ production over $\phi f_0(1710)$ in hadronic $J/\psi$ decays and the copious $f_0(1710)$ production in radiative $J/\psi$ decays lend further support to the prominent glueball nature of $f_0(1710)$.

We consider bremsstrahlung energy loss for hard partons traversing a quark-gluon plasma. Accounting correctly for the probabilistic nature of the energy loss, and making a leading-order accurate treatment of bremsstrahlung, we find that the suppression of the spectrum is nearly flat, with the most suppression at energies $E \sim 30 T$ ($T$ the QGP temperature), in contrast to previous literature but in agreement with experimental data. This flat pattern should also be observed at the LHC.

We investigate the effect of a homogeneous magnetic field on the thermal deconfinement transition of QCD in the large $N_c$ limit. First we discuss how the critical temperature decreases due to the inclusion of $N_f \ll N_c$ flavors of massless quarks. Then we study the equivalent correction in the presence of an external Abelian magnetic field. To leading order in $N_{f}/N_{c}$, the fact that the deconfinement critical temperature decreases with the magnetic field depends solely on quarks behaving paramagnetically. Finally, we discuss the effects from a finite quark mass and its competition with magnetic effects.

The supersymmetric standard model contains a new CP-violating phase in the mass matrices for charginos and neutralinos, which could induce CP-odd anomalous couplings for the WWZ and WW\gamma vertices at the one-loop level. We study these couplings, paying attention to the model-parameter and q^2 dependencies. It is shown that the CP-odd form factors could have values of order 10^{-3}-10^{-4}, which are much larger than those predicted by the standard model. We also discuss the possibility of examining these form factors in experiments.

In this approach, it is discussed the relevance of the quark-antiquark pair terms for the full covariance of the e.m. current. It is also verified, by considering a QCD dynamical model, that a good agreement with experimental data can be obtained for the kaon weak decay constant once a probability of about 80% of the valence component is taken into account.

We study a generic model in which the dark sector is composed of a Majorana dark matter $\chi_1$, its excited state $\chi_2$, both at the electroweak scale, and a light dark photon $Z'$ with $m_{Z'} \sim 10^{-4}$ eV. The light $Z'$ enhances the self-scattering elastic cross section $\chi_1 \chi_1 \to \chi_1 \chi_1$ enough to solve the small scale problems in the $N$-body simulations with the cold dark matter. The dark matter communicates with the SM via kinetic mixing parameterized by $\epsilon$. The inelastic scattering process $\chi_1 \chi_1 \to \chi_2 \chi_2$ followed by the prompt decay $\chi_2 \to \chi_1 Z'$ generates energetic $Z'$. By setting $\delta \equiv m_{\chi_2} - m_{\chi_1} \simeq 2.8$ keV and $\epsilon \sim 10^{-10}$ the excess in the electron-recoil data at the XENON1T experiment can be explained by the dark-photoelectric effect. The relic abundance of the dark matter can also be accommodated by the thermal freeze-out mechanism via the annihilation $\chi_1 \chi_1 (\chi_2 \chi_2) \to Z' Z'$ with the dark gauge coupling constant $\alpha_X \sim 10^{-3}$.

Hidden charm mesons continue playing an essential role as relevant probes to understand the evolution of partonic matter. It is expected that the charmonia that survived the quark-gluon plasma phase suffer collisions with other particles composing the hadronic matter. In this work, we intend to contribute on this subject by presenting an updated study about the interactions of $J/\psi$ with surrounding hadronic medium. The meson-meson interactions are described with a $SU(4)$ effective Lagrangian, and within the framework of unitarized coupled channel amplitudes projected onto s-wave. The symmetry is explicitly broken to $SU(3)$ by suppression of the interactions driven by charmed mesons. We calculate the cross sections for $J/\psi $ scattering by light pseudoscalar mesons ($\pi, K, \eta$) and vector mesons ($\rho, K^\ast, \omega$), as well as their inverse processes. Keeping the validity of this present approach in the low CM energy range, the most relevant channels are evaluated and a comparison of the findings with existing literature is performed.

We study the $Za_1$ decay mode of a heavy CP-even Higgs boson of the NMSSM, $h_2$, where $a_1$ is the lightest CP-odd Higgs state of this scenario, the former produced in association with a bottom-antibottom pair, and find that, despite small event rates, a significant (in fact essentially background free) signal should be extractable at the LHC with very high luminosity, so long that a $Z\to jj$ (where $j$ represents a jet) and $a_1\to \tau^+\tau^-$ final state is exploited, in presence of $b$-tagging

We extend the standard model by three types of inert fields including Majorana fermion singlets/triplets, real Higgs singlets/triplets and leptonic Higgs doublets. In the presence of a softly broken lepton number and an exactly conserved Z_2 discrete symmetry, these inert fields together can mediate a one-loop diagram for a Majorana neutrino mass generation. The heavier inert fields can decay to realize a successful leptogenesis while the lightest inert field can provide a stable dark matter candidate. As an example, we demonstrate the leptogenesis by the inert Higgs doublet decays. We also perform a systematic study on the inert Higgs triplet dark matter scenario where the interference between the gauge and Higgs portal interactions can significantly affect the dark matter properties.

The discrepancy between the experimental decay rate of orthopositronium (o-Ps) and the QED theoretical prediction can be solved by invoking decays of o-Ps into exotic particles with branching ratios of the order of 10^{-3}. We show that considerations based on primordial nucleosynthesis and effective Lagrangians place a very stringent upper bound: B = Gamma(o-Ps -> ``exotic'' + ...)/Gamma(o-Ps) <= 2 x 10^{-15}, ruling out the exotic decay solution to the puzzle.

After choosing a proper canonical basis, the boundary conditions are easy to be determined, and the solution of differential equations is greatly simplified.

The perfect fit of the matter fields of the Standard Model (SM) into the $SU(5)$ multiplets has strongly supported the idea of the Grand Unified Theory (GUT) for decades. In this paper, we discuss a novel framework which explains why the SM matter fields form the apparently complete $SU(5)$ multiplets. In the new framework, the apparent matter unification inevitably results from chiral $SU(5)$ gauge theory even if the quarks and leptons are not embedded into the common $SU(5)$ multiplets. We call this class of models the "fake GUT". The novel phenomenological prediction of the fake GUT is more variety of the nucleon decay modes than the conventional GUT, which reflects the rich structure of the origin of the matter fields.

We study extensions of the Standard Model (SM) in which copies of the SM scalar SU(2) doublet are added to the Higgs sector. These scalar doublets either acquire a Vacuum Expectation Value (VEV) and hence are active or do not develop a VEV and are inert. We consider CP-violation (CPV) in both the active and inert sector. As an example of a model with CPV in the active sector, we present a Type-I 2-Higgs-Doublet Model (2HDM) with two active doublets and show Large Hadron Collider (LHC) signals of such a scenario. The amount of CPV in this case is very limited due to constraints coming from Electric Dipole Moment experiments. Moreover, 2HDMs with only active doublets do not provide a Dark Matter (DM) candidate. As a result, we turn to 3-Higgs-Doublet Models (3HDMs) where unbounded CPV and viable DM candidates could be introduced simultaneously in the inert sector. We investigate DM phenomenology of such models.

Exchange of down type right-handed squark coupled to quarks and leptons yield interactions which are similar to leptoquark induced interactions that have been proposed to explain the $\bar B \to D^{(*)} \tau \bar \nu$ by tree level interactions and $b\to s \mu^+\mu^-$ anomalies by loop induced interactions, simultaneously. However, the Yukawa couplings in such theories have severe constraints from other rare processes in $B$ and $D$ decays. Although this interaction can provide a viable solution to $R(D^{(*)})$ anomaly, we show that with the severe constraint from $\bar B \to K \nu \bar \nu$, it is impossible to solve the anomalies in $b\to s \mu^+\mu^-$ process simultaneously.

These couplings are Lorentz-violating nonminimal structures, composed of a rank-2 tensor, the electromagnetic tensor, and gamma matrices, being addressed in its axial and non-axial hermitian versions. We use the electron's anomalous magnetic and electric dipole moment measurements to reach upper bounds of $1$ part in $10^{11}$ and $10^{16}$ GeV$^{-1}$.

We propose to utilize the exclusive $Z$-boson rare decays $Z\to \Upsilon(ns)+\gamma$ to constrain the $Zb\bar{b}$ couplings at the HL-LHC and 100 TeV proton-proton collider. We demonstrate that the event yield of the proposed processes is sensitive to the axial-vector component of the $Zb\bar{b}$ coupling and can provide complementary information to the jet-charge weighted single-spin asymmetry measurement at the EIC and the $gg\to Zh$ production rate measurement at the LHC. By applying the NRQCD factorization formalism, we calculate the partial decay width of $Z\to \Upsilon(ns)+\gamma$ to the NLO accuracy in strong interaction, which is found to agree with those obtained from the light-cone distribution amplitude approach. We show that the HL-LHC can break the degeneracy of the $Zb\bar{b}$ couplings, as implied by the precision electroweak data at LEP and SLC, if the signal efficiency can be improved by a factor of 1.7 from the present ATLAS analysis at the 13 TeV LHC with an integrated luminosity of $36.1~{\rm fb}^{-1}$.

Leptoquark-Higgs interactions induce mixing between leptoquark states with different chiralities once the electro-weak symmetry is broken. In such LQ models Majorana neutrino masses are generated at 1-loop order. Here we calculate the neutrino mass matrix and explore the constraints on the parameter space enforced by the assumption that LQ-loops explain current neutrino oscillation data. LQs will be produced at the LHC, if their masses are at or below the TeV scale. Since the fermionic decays of LQs are governed by the same Yukawa couplings, which are responsible for the non-trivial neutrino mass matrix, several decay branching ratios of LQ states can be predicted from measured neutrino data. Especially interesting is that large lepton flavour violating rates in muon and tau final states are expected. In addition, the model predicts that, if kinematically possible, heavier LQs decay into lighter ones plus either a standard model Higgs boson or a $Z^0/W^{\pm}$ gauge boson. Thus, experiments at the LHC might be able to exclude the LQ mechanism as explanation of neutrino data.

The electron, positron, and photon Parton Distribution Functions (PDFs) of the unpolarised electron have recently been computed at the next-to-leading logarithmic accuracy in QED, by adopting the $\overline{\rm MS}$ factorisation scheme. We present here analogous results, obtained by working in a different framework that is inspired by the so-called DIS scheme. We derive analytical solutions relevant to the large-$z$ region, where we show that the behaviour of the PDFs depends in a dramatic way on whether running-$\alpha$ effects are included to all orders, as opposed to being truncated to some fixed order. By means of suitable initial and evolution conditions, next-to-leading logarithmic accurate PDFs are obtained whose large-$z$ functional forms are identical to those of their leading logarithmic counterparts.

The properties of the ground state of relativistic matter in a magnetic field are examined within the framework of a Nambu-Jona-Lasinio model. The main emphasis of this study is the normal ground state, which is realized at sufficiently high temperatures and/or sufficiently large chemical potentials. In contrast to the vacuum state, which is characterized by the magnetic catalysis of chiral symmetry breaking, the normal state is accompanied by the dynamical generation of the chiral shift parameter $\Delta$. In the chiral limit, the value of $\Delta$ determines a relative shift of the longitudinal momenta (along the direction of the magnetic field) in the dispersion relations of opposite chirality fermions. We argue that the chirality remains a good approximate quantum number even for massive fermions in the vicinity of the Fermi surface and, therefore, the chiral shift is expected to play an important role in many types of cold dense relativistic matter, relevant for applications in compact stars. The qualitative implications of the revealed structure of the normal ground state on the physics of protoneutron stars are discussed. A noticeable feature of the $\Delta$ parameter is that it is insensitive to temperature when $T \ll \mu_0$, where $\mu_0$ is the chemical potential, and {\it increases} with temperature for $T > \mu_0$. The latter implies that the chiral shift parameter is also generated in the regime relevant for heavy ion collisions.

Chiral quark models with non-local covariant separable interactions at finite temperature and chemical potential are investigated. We develop a formalism in which the different quark properties are evaluated taking into account the analytic structure of the quark propagator. In this framework we study the chiral restoration phase transition for several definite non-local regulators, including that arising within the instanton liquid picture. We find that in all cases the chiral transition is of first order for low values of T, turning into a smooth crossover at a certain "end point". Using model parameters which lead to the physical pion mass and decay constant, we find for the position of this "end point" the values (T_E, mu_E) approx. (60-70, 180-210) MeV. We also discuss the special relevance of the first poles of the quark propagator.

The transverse polarization of forward Lambda hyperons produced in high-energy p-A collisions is expected to display an extremum at a transverse momentum around the saturation scale. This was first observed within the context of the McLerran-Venugopalan model which has an x-independent saturation scale. The extremum arises due to the k_t-odd nature of the polarization dependent fragmentation function, which probes approximately the derivative of the dipole scattering amplitude. The amplitude changes most strongly around the saturation scale, resulting in a peak in the polarization. We find that the observation also extends to the more realistic case in which the saturation scale Q_s is x dependent. Since a range of x and therefore Q_s values is probed at a given transverse momentum and rapidity, this result is a priori not expected. Moreover, the measurement of Lambda polarization over a range of x_F values actually provides a direct probe of the x dependence of the saturation scale. This novel feature is demonstrated for typical LHC kinematics and for several phenomenological models of the dipole scattering amplitude. We show that although the measurement will be challenging, it may be feasible at LHC. The situation at RHIC is not favorable, because the peak will likely be at too low transverse momentum of the Lambda to be a trustworthy measure of the saturation scale.

Transport equations have been applied successfully to describe the quarkonium evolution inside the quark-gluon plasma, which include both plasma screening effects and recombination. We demonstrate how the quarkonium transport equation is derived from QCD by using the open quantum system framework and effective field theory. Weak coupling and Markovian approximations used in the derivation are justified from a separation of scales. By solving the equations numerically, we study the Upsilon production in heavy ion collisions.

Coherent QCD radiation in the hadroproduction of top quark pairs leads to a forward--backward asymmetry that grows more negative with increasing transverse momentum of the pair. This feature is present in Monte Carlo event generators with coherent parton showering, even though the production process is treated at leading order and has no intrinsic asymmetry before showering. In addition, depending on the treatment of recoils, showering can produce a positive contribution to the inclusive asymmetry. We explain the origin of these features, compare them in fixed-order calculations and the Herwig++, Pythia and Sherpa event generators, and discuss their implications.

We study the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) discovery prospects of a light charged Higgs boson decaying into a $W$ boson and a non-Standard Model (SM)-like Higgs within the 2-Higgs Doublet Model type-I. In the analysis, we consider the associated production of a charged Higgs boson with a light neutral one, $pp \rightarrow H^{\pm} h$, with the subsequent $H^\pm \rightarrow W^{\pm*} h$. We then investigate the emerging $W^{\pm*} + 4b$ final state and provide several benchmark points for signal-to-background analysis. We therefore show that this signal could be an excellent avenue for identifying $H^\pm$ at the LHC.

Using a recent parametrization of nuclear effects in parton distribution functions we calculate the neutrino-nucleon cross section at energies relevant for ultra high energy neutrino telescopes. The modification of the cross section in comparison with the calculation using parton densities in free nucleons is of the order of few per cent for the parameter range of interest in neutrino telescopes (A=10 and E=10$^6$ GeV) and it reaches 20 % at the highest energies (E=10$^{12}$ GeV) and for the largest nuclear size (A=190) considered.

In contrast with mSUGRA scenarios, the messenger of the susy breaking to the visible sector can play an important role allowing a relic gravitino in the $\sim {keV}$ to $10 {MeV}$ mass range to account for the cold dark matter in the Universe.

We study the collider implication of a neutral resonance which decays to several diboson final states such as $W^+W^-$, $ZZ$, and $Z\gamma$ via a minimal set of effective operators. We consider both CP-even and CP-odd bosonic states with spin 0, 1, or 2. The production cross sections for the bosonic resonance states are obtained with the effective operators involving gluons (and quarks), and the branching fractions are obtained with the operators responsible for the interactions with electroweak gauge bosons. We demonstrate that each scenario allows for a broad parameter space which could accommodate the recently-reported intriguing excesses in the ATLAS diboson final states, and discuss how the CP states and spin information of the resonance can be extracted at the LHC run II.

New particles coupled to the Standard Model can equilibrate in stellar cores if they are sufficiently heavy and strongly coupled. In this work, we investigate the astrophysical consequences of such a scenario for massive stars by incorporating new contributions to the equation of state into a state of the art stellar structure code. We focus on axions in the "cosmological triangle", a region of parameter space with $300{\rm\,keV} \lesssim m_a \lesssim 2$ MeV, $g_{a\gamma\gamma}\sim 10^{-5}$ GeV$^{-1}$ that is not presently excluded by other considerations. We find that for axion masses $m_a \sim m_e $, axion production in the core drives a new stellar instability that results in explosive nuclear burning that either drives a series of mass-shedding pulsations or completely disrupts the star resulting in a new type of optical transient -- an \textit{Axion Instability Supernova}. We predict that the upper black hole mass gap would be located at $37{\rm M}_\odot \le M\le 107{\rm M}_\odot$ in these theories, a large shift down from the standard prediction, which is disfavored by the detection of the mass gap in the LIGO/Virgo/KAGRA GWTC-2 gravitational wave catalog beginning at $46_{-6}^{+17}{\rm M}_\odot$. Furthermore, axion-instability supernovae are more common than pair-instability supernovae, making them excellent candidate targets for JWST. The methods presented in this work can be used to investigate the astrophysical consequences of any theory of new physics that contains heavy bosonic particles of arbitrary spin. We provide the tools to facilitate such studies.

The perturbative QCD expansion for $J/\psi$ photoproduction appears to be unstable: the NLO correction is large (and of opposite sign) to the LO contribution. Moreover, the predictions are very sensitive to the choice of factorization and renormalization scales. Here we show that perturbative stability is greatly improved by imposing a $`Q_0$ cut' on the NLO coefficient functions; a cut which is required to avoid double counting. $Q_0$ is the input scale used in the parton DGLAP evolution. This result opens the possibility of high precision exclusive $J/\psi$ data in the forward direction at the LHC being able to determine the low $x$ gluon distribution at low scales.

The flavor asymmetry of the nucleon sea, i.e., the excess of $d\bar{d}$ quark-antiquark pairs over $u\bar{u}$ ones in the proton can be explained by several different models; therefore, it is a challenge to discriminate these models from each other. We examine in this Letter three models: the balance model, the meson cloud model, and the chiral quark model, and we show that these models give quite different predictions on the sea quark contents of other octet baryons. New experiments aimed at measuring the flavor contents of other octet baryons are needed for a more profound understanding of the non-perturbative properties of quantum chromodynamics (QCD).

We construct phenomenologically viable models of lepton masses and mixing based on modular $A_4$ invariance broken to residual symmetries $\mathbb{Z}^{T}_3$ or $\mathbb{Z}^{ST}_3$ and $\mathbb{Z}^S_2$ respectively in the charged lepton and neutrino sectors. In these models the neutrino mixing matrix is of trimaximal mixing form. In addition to successfully describing the charged lepton masses, neutrino mass-squared differences and the atmospheric and reactor neutrino mixing angles $\theta_{23}$ and $\theta_{13}$, these models predict the values of the lightest neutrino mass (i.e., the absolute neutrino mass scale), of the Dirac and Majorana CP violation(CPV) phases, as well as the existence of specific correlations between i) the values of the solar neutrino mixing angle $\theta_{12}$ and the angle $\theta_{13}$ (which determines $\theta_{12}$), ii) the values of the Dirac CPV phase $\delta$ and of the angles $\theta_{23}$ and $\theta_{13}$, iii) the sum of the neutrino masses and $\theta_{23}$, and iv) between the two Majorana phases.

We consider two coupled problems. We study the dependence on photon virtuality $Q^2$ for the semihard quasi--elastic photoproduction of neutral vector mesons on a quark, gluon or real photon (at $s\gg p_{\bot}^2,\;Q^2; \; p_{\bot}^2\gg \mu^2 \approx (0.3$ GeV)$^2$). To this end we calculate the corresponding amplitudes (in an analytical form) in the lowest nontrivial approximation of perturbative QCD. It is shown that the amplitude for the production of light meson varies very rapidly with the photon virtuality near $Q^2=0$. We estimate the bound of the pQCD validity region for such processes. For the real incident photon the obtained bound for the $\rho$ meson production is very high. This bound decreases fast with the increase of $Q^2$, and we expect that the virtual photoproduction at HERA gives opportunity to test the pQCD results. The signature of this region is discussed. For the hard Compton effect the pQCD should work good at not too high $p_{\bot}$, and this effect seems measurable at HERA.

By decomposing the distribution functions and color field to regular and fluctuation parts, the solution of the semi-classical kinetic equations of quark-gluon plasma is analyzed. Through expanding the kinetic equations of the fluctuation parts to third order, the nonlinear permittivity including the self-interaction of gauge field is obtained and a rough numerical estimate is given out for the important $\vk =0$ modes of the pure gluon plasma.

We study the energy spectrum of bottomonium in perturbative QCD, taking alpha_s(Mz)=0.1181 +/- 0.0020 as input and fixing m_b^{MSbar}(m_b^{MSbar}) on the Upsilon(1S) mass. Contrary to wide beliefs, perturbative QCD reproduces reasonably well the gross structure of the spectrum as long as the coupling constant remains smaller than one. We perform a detailed analysis and discuss the size of non-perturbative effects. A new qualitative picture on the structure of the bottomonium spectrum is provided. The lowest-lying (c,cbar) and (b,cbar) states are also examined.

The LHC Higgs can be identified as the technidilaton, a composite scalar, arising as a pseudo Nambu-Goldstone boson for the spontaneous breaking of scale symmetry in walking technicolor. One interesting candidate for the walking technicolor is the QCD with the large number of fermion flavors, involving the one-family model having the eight-fermion flavors. The smallness of the technidilaton mass can be ensured by the generic walking feature, Miransky scaling, and the presence of the "anti-Veneziano limit" characteristic to the large-flavor walking scenario. To tell the standard-model Higgs from the technidilaton, one needs to wait for the precise estimate of the Higgs couplings to the standard model particles, which is expected at the ongoing LHC-Run II. In this talk the technidilaton phenomenology in comparison with the LHC Run-I data is summarized with the special emphasis placed on the presence of the anti-Veneziano limit supporting the lightness of technidilaton. Besides the technidilaton, the walking technicolor predicts the rich particle spectrum such as technipions and technirho mesons, arising as composite particles formed by technifermions. The LHC phenomenology of those technihadrons and the discovery channels are also discussed, which are smoking-guns of the walking technicolor, to be accessible at the LHC-Run II.

Multi-Higgs doublet models appear in many interesting extensions of the standard model (SM). But they suffer from Higgs-mediated flavor changing neutral current (FCNC) problem which is very generic. In this talk, I describe that this problem can be resolved or mitigated if we introduce local $U(1)_H$ Higgs flavor gauge symmetry. As examples, I describe chiral $U(1)_{H}$ models where the right-handed up-type quarks also carry $U(1)_H$ charges and discuss the top forward-backward asymmetry (FBA) and $B\rightarrow D^{(*)} \tau \nu$ puzzle. Next I describe the two-Higgs doublet models where the usual $Z_2$ symmetry is implemented to $U(1)_H$ and show how the Type-I and Type-II models are extended. One possible extension of Type-II has the same fermion contents with the leptophobic $E_6$ $Z^{'}$ model by Rosner, and I discuss the neutrino sector in this model briefly.

We use on-shell recursion relations to determine the one-loop QCD scattering amplitudes with a massless external quark pair and an arbitrary number (n-2) of positive-helicity gluons. These amplitudes are the last of the unknown infrared- and ultraviolet-finite loop amplitudes of QCD. The recursion relations are similar to ones applied at tree level, but contain new non-trivial features corresponding to poles present for complex momentum arguments but absent for real momenta. We present the relations and the compact solutions to them, valid for all n. We also present compact forms for the previously-computed one-loop n-gluon amplitudes with a single negative helicity and the rest positive helicity.

Modern experiments aimed at measuring neutrino oscillation parameters have entered the age of precision. The determination of these parameters strongly depends on the ability to reconstruct the energy distributions of the neutrino beams. We compare two different energy reconstruction techniques: the reconstruction based on the kinematic of the outgoing lepton and the one based on the calorimetric method. Furthermore, we analyze realistic detector capabilities, such as energy resolutions, thresholds and efficiencies, in order to estimate how well they need to be evaluated to avoid a significant bias in the extraction of the oscillation parameters.

The existence of light sterile neutrinos, as predicted in several models, can help to explain a number of observations starting from dark mater to recent anomalies in short baseline experiments. In this paper we consider two models - Left-Right Symmetric Zee model and Extended Seesaw model, that can naturally accommodate the presence of light sterile neutrinos in the eV to MeV mass scale. We perform a detailed study on the neutrinoless double beta decay process which receives major contributions from diagrams involving these light sterile neutrinos. Considering a number of theoretical and experimental constraints, including light neutrino masses and mixings, unitarity of the mixing matrix etc., we compare our predicted values of the half-life of neutrinoless double beta decay with the experimental limits. This can put significant constraints on the neutrino mass, active-sterile neutrino mixing and several other important parameters in these models.

Stimulated by the recent experimental results on the fully-charm tetraquark states, we systematically calculate the mass spectra of the fully-charm tetraquark states in $8_{[c\bar{c}]}\otimes8_{[c\bar{c}]}$ color configuration via QCD sum rules. By constructing nine $8_{[c\bar{c}]}\otimes8_{[c\bar{c}]}$ type currents with quantum numbers $J^{PC}=0^{-+},0^{--},1^{-+},1^{+-},1^{--}$ and $2^{++}$, we perform analytic calculation up to dimension six in the Operator Product Expansion (OPE). We find the fully-charm tetraquark states with $J^{PC}=1^{+-},2^{++}$ lie around 6.48 $\sim$ 6.62 GeV while the fully-charm tetraquark states with $J^{PC}=0^{-+},0^{--},1^{--},1^{-+}$ are about 6.85 $\sim$ 7.02 GeV. Notably, the mass predictions for the $c\bar{c}c\bar{c}$ tetraquarks, specifically those with $J^{PC}=2^{++}$, align with the broad structure identified by LHCb. Moreover, the masses of fully-charm tetraquarks with $J^{PC}=0^{-+}$ and $1^{-+}$ are anticipated to match closely with the mass of X(6900), considering the margin of error. Such findings hint at the presence of some $8_{[c\bar{c}]}\otimes8_{[c\bar{c}]}$ components within the di-$J/\psi$ structures observed by LHCb. The predictions for tetraquark states with $J^{PC}=0^{--},1^{+-},1^{--}$ may be accessible in the future BelleII, Super-B, PANDA, and LHCb experiments.

Nested binomial sums form a particular class of sums that arise in the context of particle physics computations at higher orders in perturbation theory within QCD and QED, but that are also mathematically relevant, e.g., in combinatorics. We present the package RICA (Rule Induced Convolutions for Asymptotics), which aims at calculating Mellin representations and asymptotic expansions at infinity of those objects. These representations are of particular interest to perform analytic continuations of such sums.

A new cosmic string model specified by two independent mass parameters is introduced for the purpose of providing a realistic representation of the macroscopic dynamical behaviour of Witten type (superconducting) vortex defects of the vacuum. Unlike the self dual single mass parameter models previously used for this purpose, the new model successfully represents the effect of current saturation and the feature that wiggle propagation remains supersonic even in the weak current limit.

The stability of a Fermi ball (F-ball), which is a kind of non-topological soliton accompanying the breakdown of the approximate $Z_2$ symmetry, is investigated in three situations: the case it is electrically neutral, the case it is electrically charged and unscreened, and the case it is electrically charged and screened. We argue only the third case is physically meaningful since the neutral F-ball is unstable and the case of the unscreened charged one is observationally excluded when it has a sizable contribution to CDM. We found that the energy scale of the breakdown of the approximate $Z_2$ symmetry $v$ should satisfy $v<3\times 10^6 {GeV}$ if the F-ball is a main component of CDM.

In this paper, we study central production, in the inclusive case, to look for graviton signals in large extra dimensional model using dilepton and diphoton channels. We carefully analyze signal and possible Standard Model background processes and study the feasibility of such new physics searches in a relatively clean environment as in central production where the proton fragments are mostly emitted in the forward direction, and there is a clear rapidity gap between them and the centrally produced system. Our analysis shows that the LHC with 14 TeV center of mass energy and 100 fb$^{-1}$ (300 fb$^{-1}$) of integrated luminosity can probe the effective gravity scale up to 3.6 TeV (4.4 TeV) in both the dilepton and diphoton channels.

We explore the chiral aspects of extrapolation of observables calculated within lattice QCD, using the nucleon magnetic moments as an example. Our analysis shows that the biggest effects of chiral dynamics occur for quark masses corresponding to a pion mass below 600 MeV. In this limited range chiral perturbation theory is not rapidly convergent, but we can develop some understanding of the behaviour through chiral quark models. This model dependent analysis leads us to a simple Pad\'e approximant which builds in both the limits $m_\pi \to 0$ and $m_\pi \to \infty$ correctly and permits a consistent, model independent extrapolation to the physical pion mass which should be extremely reliable.

Physical processes related to cosmological first-order phase transitions are discussed and reviewed in this introductory part of dissertation. I first describe cosmological phase transitions on a general level, concentrating on bubble nucleation, phase change, and related phenomena. I point out that especially the onset of a cosmological phase transition shows a universal behavior. Then I discuss the electroweak and quark-hadron phase transitions from a more phenomenological point of view, and present a partially quantitative description of the different events that is believed to have taken place during these two cosmological transitions.

We argue that the suppression of high p_t hadrons discovered recently in heavy ion collisions at RHIC may be a consequence of saturation in the Color Glass Condensate. We qualitatively and semi-quantitatively describe the data, in particular, the dependence upon the number of nucleon participants. We show that if parton saturation sets in at sufficiently small energy, then in nucleus-nucleus collisions at RHIC and LHC energies the cross sections of semi-hard processes should scale approximately with the number of participants, N_{part}. Our results provide a possible explanation of both the absence of apparent jet quenching at SPS energies and its presence at RHIC. Under the same assumption we predict that in semi--central and central pA (dA) collisions at collider energies the dependence of semi--hard processes on the number of participating nucleons of the nucleus will change to \sim (N_{part}^A)^{1/2}. The forthcoming data on dA collisions will provide a crucial test of this description.

The parity symmetry has the novel feature that it interchanges the gluons with the $SU(3)_L$ gauge bosons (which contain the ordinary $SU(2)_L$ weak gauge bosons). We show that the model reduces to the standard model at low energies and also predicts new physics in the form of exotic fermions.

We use quartic oscillators system with two degrees of freedom to model Yang-Mills classical mechanics. This simple model explains qualitatively many features reported in lattice calculation of $(3+1)$ - dimensional classical Yang-Mills system. The largest Lyapunov exponent ($\lambda$) and the thermalization time were numerically evaluated. We also show, in our model, that $\lambda$ scales with 4th root of energy density. Here thermalization is due to relaxation phenomena associated with the color degrees of freedom. From the physical picture of thermalization, we speculate that the system with coherent fields (flux tubes) formed in relativistic heavy ion collisions can relax by chaos and the estimated thermalization time can be smaller than $1 fm/c$.

Based on the decay behaviors, we point out in the $N\to \infty$ limit decay widths of tetraquarks stay constant, while those of pentaquarks and dibaryons above certain thresholds can diverge. In the large $N$ limit, we find that the ground states of the three spectroscopic series are stable or narrow and that the excited states of pentaquarks and dibaryons above the indicated thresholds are not observables. We compare our results with those obtained in a different large $N$ generalization of tetraquarks.

Pion production in proton-nucleus (p+A) collisions outside the kinematical boundary of proton-nucleon (p+N) reactions, the so-called cumulative effect, is studied. Restrictions from energy-momentum conservation on the energy of pions emitted in the backward direction in the target rest frame are analyzed. It is assumed that the cumulative pions are produced in p+A reactions by heavy baryonic resonances. The baryonic resonances are first created in p+N reactions. Due to successive collisions with nuclear nucleons the masses of these resonances may then increase and, simultaneously, their longitudinal velocities decrease. We also use the Ultra relativistic Quantum Molecular Dynamics model to reveal the key role of successive collisions of baryonic resonances with nuclear nucleons for cumulative pion production in p+A reactions. Further experimental studies of cumulative hadron production in p+A reactions at high collision energies are needed to search for heavy hadron-like objects and investigate their properties.

We point out that the matter profile effect --- the effect of matter density fluctuation on the baseline --- is very important to estimate the parameters in a neutrino factory with a very long baseline. To make it clear, we propose the method of the Fourier series expansion of the matter profile. By using this method, we can take account of both the matter profile effect and its ambiguity. For very long baseline experiment, such as L=7332km, in the analysis of the oscillation phenomena we need to introduce a new parameter $ a_{1} $--- the Fourier coefficient of the matter profile --- as a theoretical parameter to deal with the matter profile effects.

We develop relativistic non-Hermitian quantum theory and its application to neutrino physics in a strong magnetic field. It is well known, that one of the fundamental postulates of quantum theory is the requirement of Hermiticity of physical parameters. This condition not only guarantees the reality of the eigenvalues of Hamiltonian operators, but also implies the preservation of the probabilities of the considered quantum processes. However as it was shown relatively recently (Bender, Boettcher 1998), Hermiticity is a sufficient but it is not a necessary condition. It turned out that among non-Hermitian Hamiltonians it is possible to allocate a number of such which have real energy spectra and can ensure the development of systems over time with preserving unitarity. This type of Hamiltonians includes so-called parity-time (${\cal PT}$) symmetric models which is already used in various fields of modern physics. The most developed in this respect are models, which used in the field of ${\cal PT}$-symmetric optics, where for several years produced not only theoretical but experimental studies.
