general $3 \times 3$ mass matrix $M$ containing eighteen parameters, which

five with a Hermitian condition modified in this manuscript between the real

diagonalized simultaneously by a same $U$ matrix which means FCNCs won't appear

imposed and four special solutions are thus found which reveal $S_3$ and $S_2$
symmetries among fermion generations respectively. Consequently, as a
by-product of solving the FCNC problem, complex CKM matrices appear if the
symmetries were assigned to up- and down-type quarks suitably. Unfortunately,
CKM elements thus derived are very different to the experimentally detected
values. The CP strength of this model, estimated by the Jarlskog invariant, is
four orders higher than the one predicted by the standard model. This
difference is in fact reasonable since we don't see any such symmetries in our

revisit theories where Higgs bosons can couple to weak gauge bosons with
enhanced strength relative to the Standard Model value. Specifically, we look
at the Georgi-Machacek model and its generalizations where higher "spin"
representations of SU(2)_L break electroweak symmetry while maintaining
custodial SU(2). In these theories, there is not only a Higgs-like boson but
partner Higgs scalars transforming under representations of custodial SU(2),
leading to a rich phenomenology. These theories serve as a consistent
theoretical and experimental framework to explain enhanced couplings to gauge
bosons, including fermiophobic Higgses. We focus on the phenomenology of a
neutral scalar partner to the Higgs, which is determined once the Higgs
couplings are specified. Depending on the parameter space, this partner could
have i) enhanced fermion and gauge boson couplings and should be searched for
at high mass (> 600 GeV), ii) have suppressed couplings and could be searched
for at lower masses, where the Standard Model Higgs has already been ruled out,
and iii) have fermiophilic couplings, where it can be searched for in heavy
Higgs and top resonance searches. In the first two regions, the partner also
has substantial decay rates into a pair of Higgs bosons. We touch briefly on
the more model-dependent effects of the nontrivial SU(2)_C multiplets, which
have exotic signals, such as a doubly-charged Higgs. We also discuss how the
loop induced effects of these scalars tend to reduce the Higgs decay rate to
photons, adding an additional uncertainty when extracting the couplings for the
Higgs boson.

corresponding susceptibilities because of the symmetry of the system. The
underlying fact is that these fluctuations as defined through the static
correlators become identical to the direct calculation of these
susceptibilities defined through the thermodynamic derivatives, due to the
fluctuation-dissipation theorem. Through a rigorous exercise we explicitly show
that a diagrammatic calculation of the static correlators associated with the
conserved quark number fluctuations and the corresponding susceptibilities are
possible in case of mean field theories, if the implicit dependence of the mean

for FCC-ee | References and discussion of FCC theory uncertainties added. Version
submitted for publication | null | null | KCL-PH-TH/2024-43 | hep-ph | http://arxiv.org/licenses/nonexclusive-distrib/1.0/ | We study the leading loop-level phenomenology of composite Higgs models via
the effective field theory of a strongly interacting light Higgs and top quark
(SILH+TQ). We systematically analyze the renormalization group evolution (RGE)
of tree-generated operators in the SILH+TQ scenario, finding large mixings of
flavor non-universal operators into those affecting electroweak precision
observables. We show that these model-independent RG contributions are more
important than typical estimates for finite parts. Flavor non-universal effects
are completely captured by examining three options for the top mixing: fully
composite $q_L^3$, equal compositeness, and fully composite $t_R$. In the most
phenomenologically viable case of a fully composite $t_R$, we show that the
strongest bound on the natural parameter space comes from next-to-leading log
running of the 4-top operator $O_{tt} = (\bar t_R \gamma_\mu t_R)(\bar t_R
\gamma^\mu t_R)$ into the Peskin-Takeuchi $T$ parameter. In general, we find
that this 2-loop effect allows existing electroweak precision data to give a
better constraint on 4-top operators compared to high-energy probes from top
production at the LHC. Independent of the top mixing, we find that a future
tera-$Z$ machine such as FCC-ee has the potential to probe composite Higgs
models up to a scale of $m_* \gtrsim 25$ TeV, and test the naturalness of the
electroweak scale at the $\lesssim 10^{-4}$ level.

Furthermore, the presence of primordial black holes with substantial energy

sterilization | 4 pages | Phys. Lett. B 719 (2013) 218-219 | 10.1016/j.physletb.2013.01.053 | null | hep-ph | http://arxiv.org/licenses/nonexclusive-distrib/1.0/ | A la Pontecorvo when one defines electroweak flavour states of neutrinos as a
linear superposition of mass eigenstates one ignores the associated spin. If,
however, there is a significant rotation between the neutrino source, and the
detector, a negative helicity state emitted by the former acquires a non-zero
probability amplitude to be perceived as a positive helicity state by the
latter. Both of these states are still in the left-Weyl sector of the Lorentz
group. The electroweak interaction cross sections for such helicity-flipped
states are suppressed by a factor of $(m_\nu/E_\nu)^2$, where $m_\nu$ is the
expectation value of the neutrino mass, and $E_\nu$ is the associated energy.
Thus, if the detecting process is based on electroweak interactions, and the
neutrino source is a highly rotating object, the rotation-induced helicity flip
becomes very significant in interpreting the data. The effect immediately
generalizes to anti-neutrinos. Motivated by these observations we present a
generalization of the Pontecorvo formalism and discuss its relevance in the
context of recent data obtained by the IceCube neutrino telescope.

] | A la Pontecorvo when one defines electroweak flavour states of neutrinos as a linear superposition of mass eigenstates one ignores the associated spin. If, however, there is a significant rotation between the neutrino source, and the detector, a negative helicity state emitted by the former acquires a non-zero probability amplitude to be perceived as a positive helicity state by the latter. Both of these states are still in the left-Weyl sector of the Lorentz group. The electroweak interaction cross sections for such helicity-flipped states are suppressed by a factor of $(m_\nu/E_\nu)^2$, where $m_\nu$ is the expectation value of the neutrino mass, and $E_\nu$ is the associated energy. Thus, if the detecting process is based on electroweak interactions, and the neutrino source is a highly rotating object, the rotation-induced helicity flip becomes very significant in interpreting the data. The effect immediately generalizes to anti-neutrinos. Motivated by these observations we present a generalization of the Pontecorvo formalism and discuss its relevance in the context of recent data obtained by the IceCube neutrino telescope. |

Supersymmetric Standard Model | 30 pages, 6 figures, | null | null | null | hep-ph | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ | Recent analyses by CMS and ATLAS suggest a deviation in the di-photon channel
at approximately 95 GeV, alongside a previously observed excess in $b\bar{b}$
signals at a similar mass by LEP, potentially hinting at a new scalar particle.
This study explores this possibility within the framework of the
well-established $\mathbb{Z}_3$-symmetric Next-to-Minimal Supersymmetric
Standard Model. A comprehensive parameter scan was conducted, integrating
constraints from dark matter relic density, direct detection experiments, and
the properties of the observed 125 GeV Higgs boson. The results demonstrate
that the model can accommodate the observed excesses with a singlet-dominated
CP-even Higgs boson near 95 GeV. The model accurately predicts signal strengths
of the di-photon and $b\bar{b}$ channels at a level of $1\sigma$. Furthermore,
it accounts for the measured dark matter relic abundance through Bino-dominated
neutralinos co-annihilation with Wino-like electroweakinos, all while remaining
consistent with existing LHC constraints. These findings pave the way for
future validation at the high-luminosity LHC and linear colliders, which may
offer crucial tests of the model's predictions.

60 GeV, we explore two overlapping samples: one with isolated muons, and one
with prompt muons without an isolation requirement. Using the latter sample
requires information about detector effects and QCD backgrounds, which we
obtain directly from the CMS Open Data. We present model-independent limits on
the product of cross section, branching fraction, acceptance, and efficiencies.
These limits are stronger, relative to a corresponding inclusive search without

strategy provides improved sensitivity to models in which a new particle is
produced mainly in the decay of something heavier, as could occur, for example,
in decays of the Higgs boson or of a TeV-scale top partner. An implementation
of this method with the current 13 TeV data should improve the sensitivity to
such signals further by roughly an order of magnitude.

Nucl. Phys. B | null | 10.1016/j.nuclphysb.2015.01.026 | null | hep-ph | http://arxiv.org/licenses/nonexclusive-distrib/1.0/ | We examine the renormalization group evolution (RGE) for different mixing
scenarios in the presence of seesaw threshold effects from high energy scale
(GUT) to the low electroweak (EW) scale in the Standard Model (SM) and Minimal
Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM). We consider four mixing scenarios namely
Tri-Bimaximal Mixing, Bimaximal Mixing, Hexagonal Mixing and Golden Ratio
Mixing which come from different flavor symmetries at the GUT scale. We find
that the Majorana phases play an important role in the RGE running of these
mixing patterns along with the seesaw threshold corrections. We present a
comparative study of the RGE of all these mixing scenarios both with and
without Majorana CP phases when seesaw threshold corrections are taken into
consideration. We find that in the absence of these Majorana phases both the
RGE running and seesaw effects may lead to $\theta_{13}<$ 5$^\circ$ at low
energies both in the SM and MSSM. However, if the Majorana phases are
incorporated to the mixing matrix the running can be enhanced both in the SM
and MSSM. Even by incorporating non zero Majorana CP phases in the SM, we do
not get $\theta_{13}$ in its present 3$\sigma$ range. The current values of the
two mass squared differences and mixing angles including $\theta_{13}$ can be
produced in the MSSM case with tan$\beta$ = 10 and non zero Majorana CP phases
at low energy. We also calculate the order of effective Majorana mass and
Jarlskog Invariant for each scenario under consideration.

point, composite partners for all Standard Model fermions, absence of Landau
poles at low energy, and a realistic phenomenology. These models acquire the

that can only be assessed via non-perturbative methods like lattice QCD. A
distinctive collider signature is long-lived hadrons with fractional charges.
Vacuum alignment is controlled by the Nambu-Goldstone bosons of the coset

Meanwhile, in our parametrization this channel is dominant. $W$ bosons produced in decays of the fourth family neutrinos will be seen in detector as either di-jets or isolated leptons. As an example we consider the production of 200 GeV mass fourth family neutrinos at $\sqrt{s}=500$ GeV linear colliders by taking into account di-muon plus four-jet events as signatures. |

alternative perturbative QCD based estimation of $f$ is a factor of 20 larger,

theories. Compactified theories offer an interesting context in which to think
about locality, since interactions can be nonlocal in the compact directions
while still being local in the extended ones. In this paper, we study locality
in "theory space", four-dimensional Lagrangians which are dimensional
deconstructions of five-dimensional Yang-Mills. In explicit ultraviolet (UV)
completions, one can understand the origin of theory space locality by the
irrelevance of nonlocal operators. From an infrared (IR) point of view, though,
theory space locality does not appear to be a special property, since the
lowest-lying Kaluza-Klein (KK) modes are simply described by a gauged nonlinear
sigma model, and locality imposes seemingly arbitrary constraints on the KK
spectrum and interactions. We argue that these constraints are nevertheless
important from an IR perspective, since they affect the four-dimensional cutoff
of the theory where high energy scattering hits strong coupling. Intriguingly,
we find that maximizing this cutoff scale implies five-dimensional locality. In
this way, theory space locality is correlated with weak coupling in the IR,
independent of UV considerations. We briefly comment on other scenarios where
maximizing the cutoff scale yields interesting physics, including theory space
descriptions of QCD and deconstructions of anti-de Sitter space.

We find that characteristic predictions of charged Higgs branching ratios can be obtained for all types of the THDMs, by which each type of the THDMs are separated, and information on the internal parameters of the THDMs can be extracted from the magnitudes of the various decay branching ratios. |

which could potentially generate such a feature. While we identify several
scenarios which could lead to such a gamma-ray line, these models are each
fairly constrained. In particular, viable models require large couplings
(g>1-3), and additional charged particles with masses in the range of
approximately ~130-200 GeV. Furthermore, lower energy gamma-ray constraints
from the Galactic Center force us to consider scenarios in which the dark
matter annihilates in the early universe through velocity-suppressed processes,
or to final states which yield relatively few gamma-rays (such as electrons,
muons or neutrinos). An exception to these conclusions can be found in models
in which the dark matter annihilates to heavy intermediate states which decay

] | PHOTOS Monte Carlo is widely used for simulating QED effects in decay of intermediate particles and resonances. It can be easily connected to other main process generators. In this paper we consider decaying processes gamma^* -> pi^+ pi^-(gamma) and K^\pm -> pi^+ pi^- e^\pm nu (gamma) in the framework of Scalar QED. These two processes are interesting not only for the technical aspect of PHOTOS Monte Carlo, but also for precision measurement of alpha_{QED}(M_Z), g-2, as well as pi pi scattering lengths. |

testability, we propose two classes of multiple seesaw mechanisms at the TeV
scale to understand the origin of tiny neutrino masses. They are novel
extensions of the canonical and double seesaw mechanisms, respectively, by
introducing even and odd numbers of gauge-singlet fermions and scalars. It is
thanks to a proper implementation of the global U(1)xZ_2N symmetry that the
overall neutrino mass matrix in either class has a suggestive
nearest-neighbor-interaction pattern. We briefly discuss possible consequences
of these TeV-scale seesaw scenarios, which can hopefully be explored in the
upcoming Large Hadron Collider and precision neutrino experiments, and present
a simple but instructive example of model building.

masses of gluinos and the lightest stop in two natural supersymmetric motivated
scenarios: one with a neutralino being the lightest supersymmetric particle
(LSP) and the other one with gravitino as the LSP and neutralino as the
next-to-lightest supersymmetric particle. In the second case our analysis
applies to neutralinos promptly decaying to very light gravitinos, which are of
cosmological interest, and are generic for low, of order O(100) TeV, messenger
scale in gauge mediation models. We find that the lower bounds on the gluino
and the lightest stop masses are stronger for the gravitino LSP scenarios due
to the extra handle from the decay products of neutralinos. Generally, in
contrast to the neutralino LSP case the limits now extend to a region of
compressed spectrum. In bino scenarios the highest excluded stop mass increases
from 1000 GeV to almost 1400 GeV. Additionally, in the higgsino-like NLSP
scenario the higgsinos below 650 GeV are universally excluded and the stop mass
limit is $m_{\tilde{t}} > 1150$ GeV, whereas there is no limit on stops in the
higgsino LSP model for $m_{\tilde{h}} = 650$ GeV. Nevertheless, we find that
the low messenger scale still ameliorates the fine tuning in the electroweak
potential.

scattering amplitude for off-shell photons in chiral perturbation theory
through next-to-leading order (NLO). We show that NLO contributions are
relatively more important due to a fortuitous numerical suppression of the
leading-order (LO) terms. Consequently, one expects theoretical predictions for
the hadronic light-by-light (HLBL) contribution to the muon anomalous magnetic
moment, $a_\mu^{HLBL}$, to be sensitive to the choice of model for the higher
momentum-dependence of the LBL amplitude. We show that models employed thus far
for the charged pion loop contribution to $a_\mu^{HLBL}$ are not consistent
with low-momentum behavior implied by quantum chromodynamics, having omitted
potentially significant contributions from the pion polarizability.

physics processes, including the intermediary particles, by leveraging
underlying priors from the nature of particle physics decays and the
flexibility of message passing graph neural networks. The Topograph not only
solves the combinatoric assignment of observed final state objects, associating
them to their original mother particles, but directly predicts the properties
of intermediate particles in hard scatter processes and their subsequent
decays. In comparison to standard combinatoric approaches or modern approaches
using graph neural networks, which scale exponentially or quadratically, the
complexity of Topographs scales linearly with the number of reconstructed
objects.
We apply Topographs to top quark pair production in the all hadronic decay
channel, where we outperform the standard approach and match the performance of
the state-of-the-art machine learning technique.
