2012.00702 | Jean-Philippe Lansberg | Jean-Philippe Lansberg, Melih Arslan Ozcelik | Curing the unphysical behaviour of NLO quarkonium production at the LHC

cross sections at Next-to-Leading Order (NLO) in alpha_S which we attribute to
an over-subtraction in the factorisation of the collinear singularities inside
the PDFs in the MSbar scheme. Such over- or under-subtractions have a limited
phenomenological relevance in most of the scattering processes in particle
physics. On the contrary, it is particularly harmful for P_T-integrated
charmonium hadroproduction which renders a wide class of NLO results
essentially unusable. Indeed, in such processes, alphaS is not so small, the
PDFs are not evolved much and can be rather flat for the corresponding momentum
fractions and, finally, some process-dependent NLO pieces are either too small
or too large. We propose a scale-fixing criterion which avoids such an
over-subtraction. We demonstrate its efficiency for eta(c,b) but also for a
fictitious light elementary scalar boson. Having provided stable NLO
predictions for eta(c,b) P_T-integrated cross sections, sigma^NLO(eta(Q)), and
discussed the options to study eta(b) hadroproduction, we argue that their
measurement at the LHC can help better determine the gluon PDF at low scales
and tell whether the local minimum in conventional NLO gluon PDFs around
x=0.001 at scales below 2 GeV is physical or not.

We present a new effective field theory in which the contribution of those ultra-soft photons can be isolated order by order in $\alpha$. This is effectively accomplished by performing a multipole expansion of the NRQED vertices. |

abstract | null | 10.1016/j.nuclphysa.2015.07.018 | null | hep-ph hep-th nucl-th | http://arxiv.org/licenses/nonexclusive-distrib/1.0/ | We consider QCD with two degenerate flavors of light quarks(up and down) at
asymptotically high isospin chemical potential with zero baryon chemical
potential and calculate for the first time a quantitative expression for the
critical temperature of the deconfinement transition in this regime. At high
isospin chemical potential and sufficiently low temperatures this theory
becomes equivalent to a pure Yang-Mills theory and accordingly has a first
order deconfinement phase transition. Although this was conjectured in a
seminal paper by Son and Stephanov in the year 2001, the critical temperature
of this deconfinement phase transition was not computed. This paper computes
the energy scale associated with this transition as a function of the isospin
chemical potential by relating the parameters of the equivalent Yang-Mills
theory to those of the underlying theory. We also relate the equation of state
in one strongly interacting regime of QCD namely at finite isospin density to
that in pure Yang-Mills, with the latter being amenable to straightforward
numerical calculation. Our results for the critical temperature of
deconfinement transition can be compared with future lattice calculations.

Elastic Proton-Proton Scattering | 6 pages, 4 figures | null | null | null | hep-ph | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ | Recently, it was noted that absorptive corrections to the electromagnetic
form factor in high-energy proton-proton scattering are important for the
theoretical interpretation of the $p^\uparrow{p}$ and $p^\uparrow{A}$ analyzing
power $A_\text{N}(t)$ measurements with the Hydrogen Jet Target polarimeter
(HJET) at RHIC. Here, a concise expression for the absorptive correction was
derived within the eikonal approach. The resulting analysis reveals a
systematic bias, nearly independent of the beam energy, in the experimental
determination of the real-to-imaginary ratio $\rho$ when absorption effects are
overlooked in the data analysis. Quantification of this bias, as
$\rho^\text{meas}=\rho + (0.036\pm0.016)_\text{bias}$, was achieved using a
Regge fit applied to available proton-proton measurements of
$\rho^\text{meas}(s)$ and $\sigma^\text{meas}_\text{tot}(s)$. Considering the
potential impact of such an effect on the experimentally determined
$A_\text{N}(t)$, one may enhance consistency between the HJET and STAR
measurements of the hadronic spin-flip amplitude. While the sign of the bias in
the value of $\rho$ aligns with the anticipated effective increase in the
proton charge radius in $pp$ scattering due to absorption, it amplifies the
observed discrepancy between $\sigma^\text{meas}_\text{tot}$ and
$\rho^\text{meas}$ values at $\sqrt{s}=13\,\text{TeV}$ as measured in the TOTEM
experiment. Evaluation (using published TOTEM data) of the measured
proton-proton $d\sigma/dt$ dependence on the absorptive corrections indicated
that possible soft photon corrections to the hadronic amplitude slope may be
essential for such data analysis.

] | We adopt a $T$-matrix approach to study quarkonium properties and heavy-quark transport in a Quark-Gluon Plasma. The $T$-matrix approach is well suited to implement potential scattering and thus provides a common framework for low-momentum transfer interactions in heavy-heavy and heavy-light quark systems. We assume that the underlying potentials can be estimated from the heavy-quark free energy computed in lattice QCD. We discuss constraints from vacuum spectroscopy, uncertainties arising from different choices of the potential, and the role of elastic and inelastic widths which are naturally accounted for in the $T$-matrix formalism. |

difficult. Our model can easily achieve the MPP at the Planck scale without
large Higgs mass corrections. It is worth noting that the electroweak symmetry
can be radiatively broken in our model. In the naturalness point of view, the
singlet scalar mass should be of ${\cal O}(1)\,{\rm TeV}$ or less. We also
consider right-handed neutrino extension of the model for neutrino mass

satisfied by a field are just a consequence of the representation space which

illustrate this view point by rederiving Dirac and Proca equations as
projectors over the subspaces with well defined parity of (1/2,0)+(0,1/2) and
(1/2,0)X(0,1/2) representations respectively. We formulate the equation of
motion corresponding to the identification of elementary systems with states in
the invariant subspaces of the squared Pauli-Lubanski operator and couple

We illustrate this view point by rederiving Dirac and Proca equations as projectors over the subspaces with well defined parity of (1/2,0)+(0,1/2) and (1/2,0)X(0,1/2) representations respectively. We formulate the equation of motion corresponding to the identification of elementary systems with states in the invariant subspaces of the squared Pauli-Lubanski operator and couple minimally to electromagnetism the corresponding equation for the (s,0)+(0,s) representation space using the gauge principle. We obtain g=1/s for particles with arbitrary spin s as conjectured by Belinfante long ago. |

implies that fundamental properties of particles and antiparticles should be
equal in magnitude. These fundamental tenets of the CPT principle have been put
to stringent tests in recent Penning-trap experiments, where the
matter-antimatter mass asymmetry has been measured. In light of these recent
advances, we compare the bounds arising on CPT invariance from kaon systems
with those from Penning-trap experiments. Using a simple yet powerful argument
of mass decomposition of hadrons, we show that bounds on quark-antiquark mass
differences from kaon oscillations are way beyond the reach of Penning-trap

understanding of the SM in the case of a discovery of CPT violation by these

trustworthy scenarios, each of which can provide a good explanation of the
$R(D^{(\ast)})$ anomalies at $1\sigma$. To further discriminate these different

life time of the pions (w.r.t. its flying time in the 1 km long tunnel) which
decay to the muon neutrinos, the wave form for neutrinos recorded by OPERA is
deformed from that of the proton. Such an effect is estimated to lead to an

CMS reported hints for the (non-resonant) pair production of di-jet resonances
$X$ via a particle $Y$ at a very similar mass range with a local (global)
significance of 3.6\,$\sigma$ (2.5\,$\sigma$) at $m_X\approx950\,$GeV. In this
article we show that using the preferred range for $m_X$ from the ATLAS
analysis, one can reinterpret the CMS analysis of di-di-jets in terms of a
resonant search with $Y\to XX$, with a significantly reduced look-elsewhere
effect, finding an excess for $m_Y\!\approx\!3.6$\TeV with a significance of
$4.0\,\sigma$ ($3.2\,\sigma$) locally (globally). We present two possible UV
completions capable of explaining the (di-)di-jet excesses, one containing two
scalar di-quarks, the other one involving heavy gluons based on an
$SU(3)_1\!\times\! SU(3)_2\!\times\! SU(3)_3$ gauge symmetry, spontaneously
broken to $SU(3)$ color. In the latter case, non-perturbative couplings are
required, pointing towards a composite or extra-dimensional framework. In fact,
using 5D-AdS space-time, one obtains the correct mass ratio for $m_X/m_Y$,
assuming the $X$ is the lowest lying resonance, and predicts a third
(di-)di-jet resonance with a mass around $\approx2.2$\TeV.

searching for the collisional de-excitation of meta-stable nuclear isomers by
the dark matter particles. The longevity of these isomers is related to a
strong suppression of $\gamma$- and $\beta$-transitions, typically inhibited by
a large difference in the angular momentum for the nuclear transition. The
collisional de-excitation by dark matter is possible since heavy dark matter
particles can have a momentum exchange with the nucleus comparable to the
inverse nuclear size, hence lifting tremendous angular momentum suppression of
the nuclear transition. This de-excitation can be observed either by searching
for the direct effects of the decaying isomer, or through the re-scattering or
decay of excited dark matter states in a nearby conventional dark matter
detector setup. Existing nuclear isomer sources such as naturally occurring
$^{180m}$Ta, $^{137m}$Ba produced in decaying Cesium in nuclear waste,

Rizzo | Building Kinetic Mixing From Scalar Portal Matter | 32 pages, 16 figures | null | null | SLAC-PUB-17566 | hep-ph | http://arxiv.org/licenses/nonexclusive-distrib/1.0/ | The nature of dark matter (DM) and how it might interact with the particles
of the Standard Model (SM) is an ever-growing mystery. It is possible that the
existence of new `dark sector' forces, yet undiscovered, are the key to solving
this fundamental problem. In this paper, we construct a model in which a dark
photon mediates interactions with the SM via kinetic mixing. Unlike traditional
models, in which the dark photon, which couples to a dark charge, $Q_D$, mixes
with the hypercharge boson, our model effectively mixes the dark photon
directly with the photon after electroweak symmetry is broken, but remains
unmixed until the symmetry breaks. The kinetic mixing is generated at one loop
by fields which satisfy $\sum Q_D Q_{em} = 0$, a condition which guarantees a
finite result at one loop. In the literature, this has been traditionally
obtained via heavy fermions, which may lie out of the reach of current
accelerators. In this model, by contrast, this process is mediated by scalar
`portal matter' fields, which are charged under the $SU(2)_L \times U(1)_Y$ of
the standard model as well as the dark gauge group $U(1)_D$ and acquire
GeV-scale vevs which give mass to the dark Higgs and dark photon. The
additional scalar fields are relatively light, at or below the weak scale, yet
may remain undetected by current experiments since their couplings to SM
fermions come only through percent level mixing with the SM Higgs. At
colliders, these models are typified by relatively low MET due the BSM states
decaying into MET and SM bosons, with MET which is balanced by the decay of the
associated production object. Nevertheless, the higher statistics of HL-LHC may
be able to probe the entirety of the model space.

Nevertheless, the higher statistics of HL-LHC may be able to probe the entirety of the model space. |

] | The Bethe-Salpeter equation and leptonic decay constants for pseudoscalar and vector quark-antiquark mesons with arbitrary quark masses are studied in Coulomb gauge, under a leading order truncation. As input, we use a pure linear rising potential, supplemented by a contact term arising from the conservation of total color charge. It is shown how the equations can be written in terms of manifestly finite functions, despite the infrared singular interaction. The resulting equations are solved numerically. Both the pattern of dynamical chiral symmetry breaking and the leading order heavy quark limit are visible. |

analysis of the hybrid textures of Majorana neutrino mass matrix $M_\nu$, which
contain one texture zero and two equal nonzero matrix elements. We show that
three neutrino masses (m_1, m_2, m_3) and three leptonic CP-violating phases
(\delta, \rho, \sigma) can fully be determined from two neutrino mass-squared
differences (\delta m^2, \Delta m^2) and three flavor mixing angles
(\theta_{12}, \theta_{23}, \theta_{13}). Out of sixty logically possible
patterns of $M_\nu$, thirty-nine are found to be compatible with current
experimental data at the 3\sigma level. We demonstrate that the texture zero of
$M_\nu$ is stable against one-loop quantum corrections, while the equality
between two independent elements not. Phenomenological implications of $M_\nu$
for the neutrinoless double-beta decay and leptonic CP violation are discussed,
and a realization of the texture zero and equality by means of discrete flavor
symmetries is illustrated.

A method for including these effects in analyses of hyperon decays shows that a flavor-asymmetric sea produced by SU(3) symmetry breaking has only a small effect on results for the total spin carried by quarks. However the strange quark contribution cannot be reliably obtained from charged lepton scattering and weak decay data alone, and requires additional model-dependent input relating nucleon and hyperon wave functions. |

baselines $\lsim 1000$ km to resolve parameter degeneracies inherent in the
three-neutrino analysis of such experiments. We find that with appropriate
choices of neutrino energies and baselines two experiments with different
baselines can provide a much better determination of the neutrino mass ordering
than a single experiment alone. Two baselines are especially beneficial when
the mass scale for solar neutrino oscillations $\delta m^2_{\rm sol}$ is $\gsim
5\times10^{-5}$ eV$^2$. We also examine CP violation sensitivity and the
resolution of other parameter degeneracies. We find that the combined data of
superbeam experiments with baselines of 295 and 900 km can provide sensitivity
to both the neutrino mass ordering and CP violation for $\sin^22\theta_{13}$
down to 0.03 for $|\delta m^2_{\rm atm}| \simeq 3\times10^{-3}$ eV$^2$. It
would be highly advantageous to have a 10% determination of $|\delta m^2_{\rm

$|\delta m^2_{\rm atm}|$ is not that well known, the neutrino energies and
baselines can be chosen to give fairly good sensitivity for a range of $|\delta

problem by identifying the CP-odd component of the flavon as the QCD axion,
which we call flaxion. Furthermore, the flaxion model solves the cosmological
puzzles in the standard model, i.e., origin of dark matter, baryon asymmetry of
the universe, and inflation. We show that the radial component of the flavon

The dark matter abundance can be explained by the flaxion coherent oscillation,
while the baryon asymmetry of the universe is generated through leptogenesis.
