The self-energy of an eta meson in the nuclear medium is calculated in a chiral unitary approach. A coupled channel Bethe-Salpeter equation is solved to obtain the effective eta-N interaction in the medium. The base model reproduces well the free space pi-N elastic and inelastic scattering at the eta-N threshold or N^*(1535) region. The Pauli blocking on the nucleons, binding potentials for the baryons and self-energies of the mesons are incorporated, including the eta self-energy in a self-consistent way. Our calculation predicts about -54 -i29 MeV for the optical potential at normal nuclear matter for an eta at threshold but also shows a strong energy dependence of the potential.

Inspired by the abundant experimental observation of axial-vector states, we study whether the observed axial-vector states can be categorized into the conventional axial-vector meson family. In this paper we carry out an analysis based on the mass spectra and two-body Okubo-Zweig-Iizuka-allowed decays. Besides testing the possible axial-vector meson assignments, we also predict abundant information for their decays and the properties of some missing axial-vector mesons, which are valuable for further experimental exploration of the observed and predicted axial-vector mesons.

In this paper, we explore the possibility of spontaneous CP violation in the scattering of quarks and anti-quarks from QCD Z(3) domain walls. The CP violation here arises from the nontrivial profile of the background gauge field $(A_{0})$ between different Z(3) vacua. We calculate the spatial variation of $A_{0}$ across the Z(3) interface from the profile of the Polyakov loop $L(\vec{x})$ for the Z(3) interface and calculate the reflection of quarks and antiquarks using the Dirac equation. This spontaneous CP violation has interesting consequences for the relativistic heavy-ion collision experiments, such as baryon enhancement at high $P_{T}$. It also acts as a source of additional J/$\psi$ suppression. We also discuss its implications for the early universe.

We show that transverse-momentum-dependent parton distribution functions (TMDPDFs), important non-perturbative quantities for describing the properties of hadrons in high-energy scattering processes such as Drell-Yan and semi-inclusive deep-inelastic scattering with observed small transverse momentum, can be obtained from Euclidean QCD calculations in the framework of large-momentum effective theory (LaMET). We present a LaMET factorization of the Euclidean quasi-TMDPDFs in terms of the physical TMDPDFs and off-light-cone soft function at leading order in $1/P^z$ expansion, with the perturbative matching coefficient satisfying a renormalization group equation. We also discuss the implementation in lattice QCD with finite-length gauge links as well as the rapidity-regularization-independent factorization for Drell-Yan cross section.

The Compressed Baryonic Matter (CBM) experiment at the Facility for Anti-proton and Ion Research (FAIR) will provide new possibilities for charm-quark ($D$-meson) observables in heavy-ion collisions at low collision energies and high baryon densities. To predict the collective flow and nuclear modification factors of charm quarks in this environment, we apply a Langevin approach for the transport of charm quarks in the UrQMD (hydrodynamics + Boltzmann) hybrid model. Due to the inclusion of event-by-event fluctuations and a full (3+1) dimensional hydrodynamical evolution, the UrQMD hybrid approach provides a realistic evolution of the matter produced in heavy-ion collisions. As drag and diffusion coefficients we use a resonance approach for elastic heavy-quark scattering and assume a decoupling temperature of the charm quarks from the hot medium of $130\, \MeV$. Hadronization of the charm quarks to $D$-mesons by coalescence is included. Since the initial charm-quark distribution at FAIR is unknown, we utilize two different initial charm-quark distributions in our approach to estimate the uncertainty of these predictions. We present calculations of the nuclear modification factor, $R_{AA}$, as well as for the elliptic flow, $v_2$, in Pb+Pb collisions at $E_{lab}=25\,\text{AGeV}$. The different medium modifications of $D$-mesons and $\bar{D}$-mesons at high baryon-chemical potential are explored by modified drag- and diffusion-coefficients using the corresponding fugacity factor. Here we find a considerably larger medium modification for $\bar{\mathrm{D}}$- than for $D$-mesons.

The dynamical entropy of dense gluonic states in proton-proton collisions at high energies is studied by using phenomenological models for the unintegrated gluon distribution. The corresponding transverse momentum probability distributions are evaluated in terms of rapidity. The dynamical entropy density is obtained in the rapidity range relevant for the collisions at the Large Hadron Collider. The total entropy density for the dense system is computed as a function of the rapidity evolution $\Delta Y = Y-Y_0$ given an initial rapidity $Y_0$. The theoretical uncertainties are investigated and comparison with related approaches in literature is done.

Post-inflationary evolution and (re)heating of the viable inflationary model, the $R^2$ one, is made more realistic by including the leptogenesis scenario into it. For this purpose, right-handed Majorana neutrinos with a large mass are added to the matter sector of the Standard Model to explain the neutrino oscillation experiments and the baryon asymmetry of the Universe. We have found parameters that characterize this model: non-minimal coupling of the Higgs field $\xi$, the mass of the right-handed Majorana neutrino $M_{N_\alpha}$ and the Yukawa coupling matrix components for the right-handed Majorana neutrino. We have analyzed the effect of these parameters on the reheating process and leptogenesis in this model and how they affect the resultant physical quantities: spectral parameters of primordial perturbations and baryon asymmetry.

We present an extension of the Monte Carlo Event Generator Whizard which includes chargino production at the ILC at NLO. We include photons using both a fixed order and a resummation approach. While the fixed order approach suffers from negative event weights, the resummation method solves this problem and automatically includes leading higher order corrections. We present results for cross sections and event generation for both methods and evaluate the systematic errors due to soft and collinear approximations. In the resummation approach, the residual uncertainty can be brought down to the per-mil level.

The chargino $\tilde{\chi}^\pm_{1,2}$ system can be reconstructed completely in $e^+e^-$ collisions. By measuring the total cross sections and the asymmetries with polarized beams in $e^+e^-\to\tilde{\chi}_i^+ \tilde{\chi}_j^- [i,j=1,2]$, the chargino masses and the gaugino-higgsino mixing angles of these states can be determined very accurately. If only the lightest charginos $\tilde{\chi}_1^\pm$ are kinematically accessible, transverse beam polarization is needed to determine the mixing angles unambiguously. From these observables the fundamental SUSY parameters can be derived: the SU(2) gaugino mass $M_2$, the modulus and the cosine of the CP-violating phase of the higgsino mass parameter $\mu$, and $\tan\beta = v_2/v_1$, the ratio of the vacuum expectation values of the two neutral Higgs doublet fields.

SMEFT Wilson coefficients are subject to various positivity bounds in order to be consistent with the fundamental principles of S-matrix. Previous bounds on dimension-8 SMEFT operators have been obtained using the positivity part of UV partial wave unitarity and form a (projective) convex cone. We derive a set of linear UV unitarity conditions that go beyond positivity and are easy to implement in an optimization scheme with dispersion relations in a multi-field EFT. Using Higgs scattering as an example, we demonstrate how to obtain closed bounds in the space of the three relevant dimension-8 coefficients, making use of the UV unitarity conditions as well as so-called null constraints that arise from full crossing symmetry. Specifically, we show that they are bounded by inequalities schematically going like $C<O\left((4\pi)^2\right)$. We compare the newly obtained upper bounds with the traditional perturbative unitarity bounds from within the EFT, and discuss some phenomenological implications of the two-sided positivity bounds in the context of experimental probes of Vector Boson Scattering.

We make a systematic study of $\Lambda$ hyperon polarizations in unpolarized lepton induced semi-inclusive reactions such as $e^-N\to e^-\Lambda X$ and $e^+e^-\to\Lambda h X$. We present the general form of cross sections in terms of structure functions obtained from a general kinematic analysis. This already shows that the produced hyperons can be polarized in three orthogonal directions, i.e., the longitudinal direction along the hyperon momentum, the normal direction of the production plane, and the transverse direction in the production plane. We present the parton model results at the leading twist and leading order in perturbative QCD and provide the expressions for these structure functions and polarizations in terms of parton distribution functions and fragmentation functions. We emphasize in particular that by studying the longitudinal polarization and the transverse polarization in the production plane, we can extract the corresponding chiral-odd fragmentation functions $H_{1Lq}^{\perp\Lambda}$, $H_{1Tq}^{\Lambda}$ and $H_{1Tq}^{\perp\Lambda}$. We also present numerical results of rough estimates utilizing available parameterizations of fragmentation functions and approximations. We discuss how to measure these polarizations and point out in particular that they can be carried out in future EIC and/or $e^+e^-$ annihilation experiments such as Belle.

We compute the hard photon production rate of a chemically non-equilibrated quark-gluon plasma. We assume that the plasma is already thermally equilibrated, i.~e. describable by a temperature, but with a phase-space distribution that deviates from the Fermi/Bose distribution by a time dependent factor (fugacity). The photon spectrum is obtained by integrating the photon rate over the space-time evolution of the quark-gluon plasma. Some consequences for ultrarelativistic heavy ion collisions are discussed.

We assume that the plasma is already thermally equilibrated, i.~e. describable by a temperature, but with a phase-space distribution that deviates from the Fermi/Bose distribution by a time dependent factor (fugacity). The photon spectrum is obtained by integrating the photon rate over the space-time evolution of the quark-gluon plasma. Some consequences for ultrarelativistic heavy ion collisions are discussed.

We derive a QCD sum rule for the flavour-singlet axial coupling constant $g_A^{(0)}$ from a two point correlation function of flavour-singlet axial vector currents in a one-nucleon state. In evaluating the correlation function by an operator product expansion we take into account the terms up to dimension 6. This correlation function receives an additional two-loop diagram which comes from an (anti-)instanton. If we do not include it, $g_A^{(0)}$ is estimated to be 0.8. However, the additional diagram due to instantons contributes negatively and reduces $g_A^{(0)}$ towards the experimental value.

We compute the QCD phase diagram in the plane of the chiral chemical potential and temperature using the linear sigma model coupled to quarks and to the Polyakov loop. The chiral chemical potential accounts for effects of imbalanced chirality due to QCD sphaleron transitions which may emerge in heavy-ion collisions. We found three effects caused by the chiral chemical potential: the imbalanced chirality (i) tightens the link between deconfinement and chiral phase transitions; (ii) lowers the common critical temperature; (iii) strengthens the order of the phase transition by converting the crossover into the strong first order phase transition passing via the second order end-point. Since the fermionic determinant with the chiral chemical potential has no sign problem, the chirally imbalanced QCD matter can be studied in numerical lattice simulations.

A third sheet pole close to but \textit{below} $D^0D^{*0}$ threshold is found, besides the bound state/virtual state pole discussed in previous literature. The co-existence of two poles near the $D^0D^{*0}$ threshold indicates that the X(3872) may be of ordinary $c\bar c$ $2 ^3P_1$ state origin, distorted by strong coupled channel effects. The latter manifests itself as a molecular bound state (or a virtual state).

The light quark masses are determined using a new QCD Finite Energy Sum Rule (FESR) in the pseudoscalar channel. This FESR involves an integration kernel designed to reduce considerably the contribution of the (unmeasured) hadronic resonance spectral functions. The QCD sector of the FESR includes perturbative QCD (PQCD) to five loop order, and the leading non-perturbative terms. In the hadronic sector the dominant contribution is from the pseudoscalar meson pole. Using Contour Improved Perturbation Theory (CIPT) the results for the quark masses at a scale of 2 GeV are $m_u(Q= 2 {GeV}) = 2.9 \pm 0.2 {MeV}$, $m_d(Q= 2 {GeV}) = 5.3 \pm 0.4 {MeV}$, and $m_s(Q= 2 {GeV}) = 102 \pm 8 {MeV}$, for $\Lambda = 381 \pm 16 {MeV}$, corresponding to $\alpha_s(M_\tau^2) = 0.344 \pm0.009$. In this framework the systematic uncertainty in the quark masses from the unmeasured hadronic resonance spectral function amounts to less than 2 - 3 %. The remaining uncertainties above arise from those in $\Lambda$, the unknown six-loop PQCD contribution, and the gluon condensate, which are all potentially subject to improvement.

We investigate the chiral phase transition in the quark-meson effective model using optimised perturbation theory to one loop. Certain terms in the free energy are frequently omitted in calculations, on the assumption that their contribution is negligible. We show that this is not necessarily the case, and that the order of the phase transition, as well as the critical temperature, depends heavily on which contributions are included.

We present the derivation of heavy quark energy loss in a viscous QCD plasma using kinetic theory. Shear flow changes both boson and fermion distribution functions which eventually modify heavy quark energy loss. Due to presence of non-zero flow gradient in the medium all the bath particles here are out of equilibrium. In these types of plasmas we show that without plasma screening effects heavy quark energy loss suffers similar type of infrared divergence as one encounters in non-viscous plasma. The screening effects are incorporated consistently through Hard Thermal Loop resummation perturbation theory in the small-momentum-transfer region to obtain finite leading order result in $\eta/s$. We also quantify the importance of the result and demonstrate that shear flow has significant effect on the heavy quark energy loss.

Both parameters in the Higgs field's potential, its mass and quartic coupling, appear fine-tuned to near-critical values, which gives rise to the hierarchy problem and the metastability of the electroweak vacuum. Whereas such behavior appears puzzling in the context of particle physics, it is a common feature of dynamical systems, which has led to the suggestion that the parameters of the Higgs potential could be set through some dynamical process. In this article, we discuss how this notion could be extended to physics beyond the Standard Model (SM). We first review in which sense the SM Higgs parameters can be understood as near-critical and show that this notion can be extrapolated in a unique way for a generic class of SM extensions. Our main result is a prediction for the parameters of such models in terms of their corresponding Standard Model effective field theory Wilson coefficients and corresponding matching scale. For generic models, our result suggests that the scale of new (bosonic) physics lies close to the instability scale. We explore the potentially observable consequences of this connection, and illustrate aspects of our analysis with a concrete example. Lastly, we discuss implications of our results for several mechanisms of dynamical vacuum selection associated with various Beyond-Standard-Model (BSM) constructions.

We consider two phenomenological models for the $J/\Psi$ photoproduction that consider the presence of the $P_c(4312)$, $P_c(4440)$ and $P_c(4457)$ resonances in the $s$ -- channel of the $\gamma p \rightarrow J/\Psi p$ reaction. The rapidity distribution is estimated for $pA$ collisions at the RHIC and LHC. Predictions for $pPb$, $Pb \, Ar$ and $Pb \,He$ fixed -- target collisions at the LHC are also presented. We demonstrate that the experimental analysis of the $J/\Psi$ photoproduction in fixed -- target collisions can provide complementary and independent checks on these states, and help to understand their underlying nature.

We investigate how the charge distributions of both the unpolarized and transversely polarized $\Delta$ baryon change as the longitudinal momentum~($P_{z}$) of the $\Delta$ baryon increases from $P_{z}=0$ to $P_{z}=\infty$ in a Wigner phase-space perspective. When the $\Delta$ baryon is longitudinally polarized, its two-dimensional charge distribution is kept to be spherically symmetric with $P_{z}$ varied, whereas when the $\Delta$ baryon is transversely polarized along the $x$-axis, the quadrupole contribution emerges at the rest frame ($P_{z}=0$). When $P_{z}$ grows, the electric dipole and octupole moments are induced. The induced dipole moment dominates over other higher multipole contributions and governs the deformation of the charge distribution of the $\Delta$ baryon.

We compute the in-medium energy loss probability distribution of two neighboring subjets at leading order, in the large-$N_c$ approximation. Our result exhibits a gradual onset of color decoherence of the system and accounts for two expected limiting cases. When the angular separation is smaller than the characteristic angle for medium-induced radiation, the two-pronged substructure lose energy coherently as a single color charge, namely that of the parent parton. At large angular separation the two subjets lose energy independently. Our result is a first step towards quantifying effects of energy loss as a result of the fluctuation of the multi-parton jet substructure and therefore goes beyond the standard approach to jet quenching based on single parton energy loss. We briefly discuss applications to jet observables in heavy-ion collisions.

We investigate the one-loop radiative corrections to the semileptonic decay of a charged particle at finite gauge boson mass. Extending the Bloch-Nordsieck cancellation of infrared logarithms, the subsequent non-analytic terms are also found to vanish after eliminating the pole mass in favor of a mass defined at short distances. This observation justifies the operator product expansion for inclusive decays of heavy mesons and implies that infrared effects associated with the summation of the radiative corrections are suppressed by at least three powers of the mass of the heavy decaying particle.

Quantum Field Theory (QFT) forms the bedrock of the Standard Model (SM) of particle physics, a powerful framework that delineates the fundamental constituents and interactions of the universe. However, the SM's narrative is incomplete, as it conspicuously fails to account for several empirical phenomena that challenge our current understanding of particle physics. This review meticulously examines three paramount anomalies that elude SM predictions: the elusive nature of dark matter, the Higgs boson's anomalously low mass, and the intricate puzzle of neutrino masses. Through a critical analysis, it delves into the forefront of theoretical advancements proposed to bridge these gaps, notably the Weakly Interacting Massive Particles (WIMPs), Supersymmetry (SUSY), and the intriguing hypothesis of right-handed neutrinos. By synthesizing current research and theoretical models, this review not only elucidates these profound mysteries but also underscores the imperative for a more comprehensive and unified theory of particle physics, setting the stage for future discoveries and theoretical breakthroughs.

Multi-particle Production and Thermalization in High-Energy QCD

We argue that multi-particle production in high energy hadron and nuclear collisions can be considered as proceeding through the production of gluons in the background classical field. In this approach we derive the gluon spectrum immediately after the collision and find that at high energies it is parametrically enhanced by ln(1/x) with respect to the quasi-classical result (x is the Bjorken variable). We show that the produced gluon spectrum becomes thermal (in three dimensions) with an effective temperature determined by the saturation momentum Qs, T= c Qs/2pi during the time ~1/T; we estimate c=sqrt{2pi}/2 ~ 1.2. Although this result by itself does not imply that the gluon spectrum will remain thermal at later times, it has an interesting applications to heavy ion collisions. In particular, we discuss the possibility of Bose-Einstein condensation of the produced gluon pairs and estimate the viscosity of the produced gluon system.

Final state medium-induced gluon radiation in ultradense nuclear matter is shown to favor large angle emission when compared to vacuum bremsstrahlung due to the suppression of collinear gluons. In a simple model of momentum transfers from the medium to the jet+gluon system the phase space distribution of non-Abelian bremsstrahlung is examined to first order in opacity. Perturbative expression for the contribution of the hadronic fragments from medium-induced gluons to the back-to-back particle correlations is derived. It is found that in the limit of large jet energy loss gluon radiation determines the yield and angular distribution of $|\Delta \phi | \geq \frac{\pi}{2}$ di-hadrons to high transverse momenta $p_{T_2}$ of the associated particles. Clear transition from enhancement to suppression of the away-side di-hadron correlations is established at moderate $p_{T_2}$ and its experimentally accessible features are predicted versus the trigger particle momentum $p_{T_1}$. The measured away-side correlation function is shown to be sensitive to the broad rapidity distribution of di-jets and their vacuum and medium-induced acoplanarity.

We study the interface effects of quark-hadron mixed phase in compact stars. The properties of nuclear matter are obtained based on the relativistic-mean-field model. For the quark phase, we adopt perturbation model with running quark masses and coupling constant. At certain choices of parameter sets, it is found that varying the quark-hadron interface tension will have sizable effects on the radii ($\Delta R \approx 600$ m) and tidal deformabilities ($\Delta \Lambda/\Lambda \approx 50\%$) of hybrid stars. These provide possibilities for us to constrain the quark-hadron interface tension with future gravitational wave observations as well as the ongoing NICER mission.

We study lepton mixing patterns which are derived from finite modular groups Gamma_N, requiring subgroups G_nu and G_e to be preserved in the neutrino and charged lepton sectors, respectively. We show that only six groups Gamma_N with N=3,4,5,7,8,16 are relevant. A comprehensive analysis is presented for G_e arbitrary and G_nu=Z2 x Z2, as demanded if neutrinos are Majorana particles. We discuss interesting patterns arising from both groups G_e and G_nu being arbitrary. Several of the most promising patterns are specific deviations from tri-bimaximal mixing, all predicting theta_13 non-zero as favoured by the latest experimental data. We also comment on prospects to extend this idea to the quark sector.

We discuss the SU(3) and heavy quark spin-symmetry breaking mixing between the Xi_c and Xi'_c charmed baryons. Chromomagnetic hyperfine interactions are the leading source of spin-symmetry breaking and together with the SU(3) breaking mass differences between the lightest pseudo-Goldstone bosons gives the leading contribution to the mixing. Such contributions are computed in chiral perturbation theory and compared to quark model expectations. We also compute the leading contribution to the semileptonic decay Xi_b -> Xi'_c l nu at zero recoil, and find that it is an order of magnitude smaller than naive power counting would suggest. It appears that Xi_b -> Xi'_c l nu is dominated by incalculable counterterms, and we discuss the implications for quark models based on the essential role of hyperfine interactions.

Cosmic strings have gained a great interest, since they are formed in a large class of brane inflationary models. The most interesting story is that cosmic strings in brane models are distinguished in future cosmological observations. If the strings in brane models are branes or superstrings that can move along compactified space, and also if there are degenerated vacua along the compactified space, kinks interpolate between degenerated vacua become ``beads'' on the strings. In this case, strings turn into necklaces. In the case that the compact manifold in not simply connected, a string loop that winds around a nontrivial circle is stable due to the topological reason. Since the existence of the (quasi-)degenerated vacua and the nontrivial circle is a common feature of the brane models, it is important to study cosmological constraints on the cosmic necklaces and the stable winding states. In this paper, we consider dark matter production from loops of the cosmic necklaces. Our result suggests that necklaces can put stringent bound on certain kinds of brane models.

Relativistic world-line Hamiltonian for strongly interacting 3q systems in magnetic field is derived from the path integral for the corresponding Green's function. The neutral baryon Hamiltonian in magnetic field obeys the pseudomomentum conservation and allows a factorization of the c.m. and internal motion. The resulting expression for the baryon mass in magnetic field is written explicitly with the account of hyperfine, OPE and OGE (color Coulomb) interaction. The neutron mass is fast decreasing with magnetic field, losing 1/2 of its value at eB~0.25 GeV^2 and is nearly zero at eB~0.5 GeV^2. Possible physical consequences of the calculated mass trajectory of the neutron, M_n(B), are presented and discussed.

While "quark" and "gluon" jets are often treated as separate, well-defined objects in both theoretical and experimental contexts, no precise, practical, and hadron-level definition of jet flavor presently exists. To remedy this issue, we develop and advocate for a data-driven, operational definition of quark and gluon jets that is readily applicable at colliders. Rather than specifying a per-jet flavor label, we aggregately define quark and gluon jets at the distribution level in terms of measured hadronic cross sections. Intuitively, quark and gluon jets emerge as the two maximally separable categories within two jet samples in data. Benefiting from recent work on data-driven classifiers and topic modeling for jets, we show that the practical tools needed to implement our definition already exist for experimental applications. As an informative example, we demonstrate the power of our operational definition using Z+jet and dijet samples, illustrating that pure quark and gluon distributions and fractions can be successfully extracted in a fully well-defined manner.

We discuss possibility of describing solar, atmospheric and LSND results with four neutrinos forming two quasi-degenerate pairs. The simplest versions of this 2+2 scheme with either $\nu_e$ or $\nu_\mu$ mixing exclusively with sterile neutrino is disfavored by the SNO and atmospheric neutrino results respectively. A generalized scheme with sterile state participating in both the solar and atmospheric oscillations is still allowed. We show thasolar and atmospheric oscillations is still allowed. We show that the complex pattern of mixing needed for this purpose follows from a simple L_e+L_\mu-L_\tau-L_s symmetry. Specific form of L_e+L_\mu-L_\tau-L_s symmetric mass matrix is determined from experimental results. Two theoretical schemes which lead to this form and a proper breaking of L_e+L_\mu-L_\tau-L_s symmetry are discussed.

Specific form of L_e+L_\mu-L_\tau-L_s symmetric mass matrix is determined from experimental results. Two theoretical schemes which lead to this form and a proper breaking of L_e+L_\mu-L_\tau-L_s symmetry are discussed.

The initial time-dependence of a state in circumstances where it makes transitions to, or decay to, a second state has been investigated. In classical stochastic processes, the observed time dependence of transition or decay proportional to $t^2$ is attributed to the noise with memory. In contrast to quantum mechanics, the quadratic form of initial decay is unable to decelerate the evolution of the system.

Several phenomenologically viable walking technicolor models have been proposed recently. I demonstrate that these models can have first order electroweak phase transitions, which are sufficiently strong for electroweak baryogenesis. Strong dynamics can also lead to several separate transitions at the electroweak scale, with the possibility of a temporary restoration and an extra breaking of the electroweak symmetry. First order phase transitions will produce gravitational waves, which may be detectable at future experiments.

The current $3.7\sigma$ discrepancy between the Standard Model prediction and the experimental value of the muon anomalous magnetic moment could be a hint for the existence of new physics. The hadronic light-by-light contribution is one of the pieces requiring improved precision on the theory side, and an important step is to derive short-distance constraints for this quantity containing four electromagnetic currents. Here, we derive such short-distance constraints for three large photon loop virtualities and the external fourth photon in the static limit. The static photon is considered as a background field and we construct a systematic operator product expansion in the presence of this field. We show that the massless quark loop, i.e. the leading term, is numerically dominant over non-perturbative contributions up to next-to-next-to leading order, both those suppressed by quark masses and those that are not.

The production of the $f_{0}(980)$ meson at high energies is not well understood. We investigate two different potential mechanisms for inclusive scalar meson production in the $k_t$-factorization approach: color-singlet gluon-gluon fusion and color evaporation model. The $\gamma^* \gamma^* \to f_0(980)$ form factor(s) can be constraint from the $f_0(980)$ radiative decay width. The $g^* g^* \to f_0(980)$ form factors are obtained by a replacement of $\alpha_{\rm{em}}$ electromagnetic coupling constant by $\alpha_{\rm{s}}$ strong coupling constant and appropriate color factors. The form factors for the two couplings are parametrized with a function motivated by recent results for scalar quarkonia. The differential cross sections are calculated in the $k_t$-factorization approach with modern unintegrated gluon distributions. Unlike for quarkonia it seems rather difficult to describe a preliminary ALICE data for inclusive production of $f_0(980)$ exclusively by the color singlet gluon-gluon fusion mechanism. Two different scenarios for flavor structure of $f_0(980)$ are considered in this context. We consider also mechanism of fusion of quark-antiquark associated with soft gluon emission in a phenomenological color evaporation model (CEM) used sometimes for quarkonium production. Here we use $k_t$-factorization version of CEM to include higher-order contributions. In addition, for comparison we consider also NLO collinear approach with $q \bar{q} q$ and $q \bar{q} g$ color octet partonic final states. Both approaches lead to a similar result. However, very large probabilities are required to describe the preliminary ALICE data. The pomeron-pomeron fusion mechanism is also discussed and results are quantified.

Using the formalism of the light-cone wave function in perturbative QCD together with the hybrid factorization, we compute the cross-section for three particle production at forward rapidities in proton-nucleus collisions. We focus on the quark channel, in which the three produced partons -- a quark accompanied by a gluon pair, or two quarks plus one antiquark -- are all generated via two successive splittings starting with a quark that was originally collinear with the proton. The three partons are put on-shell by their scattering off the nuclear target, described as a Lorentz-contracted "shockwave". The three-parton component of the quark light-cone wave function that we compute on this occasion is also an ingredient for other interesting calculations, like the next-to-leading order correction to the cross-section for the production of a pair of jets.

We explore the projected sensitivity for two SMEFT operators, $\mathcal{O}_{tZ}$ and $\mathcal{O}_{tW}$, that induce electroweak dipole moment interactions for top quarks, through direct searches in these electroweak top production processes at the HL-LHC. New physics modifications to dominant backgrounds are also considered. We show that the new physics sensitivity can be enhanced through a combination of differential distributions for relevant kinematic observables and machine learning techniques. Searches in $t\bar{t}Z$ and $tZj$ production result in stronger constraints on $\mathcal{C}_{tZ}$ and $\mathcal{C}_{tW}$, respectively.

Recent high precision experimental data from a variety of hadronic processes opens new opportunities for determination of the collinear parton distribution functions (PDFs) of the proton. In fact, the wealth of information from experiments such as the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) and others, makes it difficult to quickly assess the impact on the PDFs, short of performing computationally expensive global fits. As an alternative, we explore new methods for quantifying the potential impact of experimental data on the extraction of proton PDFs. Our approach relies crucially on the correlation between theory-data residuals and the PDFs themselves, as well as on a newly defined quantity --- the sensitivity --- which represents an extension of the correlation and reflects both PDF-driven and experimental uncertainties. This approach is realized in a new, publicly available analysis package PDFSense, which operates with these statistical measures to identify particularly sensitive experiments, weigh their relative or potential impact on PDFs, and visualize their detailed distributions in a space of the parton momentum fraction x and factorization scale \mu. This tool offers a new means of understanding the influence of individual measurements in existing fits, as well as a predictive device for directing future fits toward the highest impact data and assumptions.

The measurements of the $\gamma\gamma$ and $b \bar b$ partial decay widths of an intermediate-mass Standard Model Higgs boson are among the most important goals of a future photon linear collider. While in an initially polarized $J_z=0$ state the background process $\gamma\gamma \to b \bar b$ is suppressed by $\frac{m^2_b}{s}$, radiative corrections remove this suppression and are known to be very sizable at theone-loop level. In particular a new type of purely hard double logarithmic (DL) correction can even make the cross section negative at this order in perturbation theory. The second order term of the series is also known and enters with a positive sign at the two loop level. From a theoretical as well as a practical point of view it is clearlydesirable to resum this series and to know its high energy behavior. In this paper, we derive the series of these novel ``non-Sudakov'' logarithms to all orders and calculate the high energy limit analytically. We also give explicit three loop corrections in the DL-approximation as a check of our results and show that the three loop structure also reveals the higher order behavior of mixed hard and soft double logarithms. We are thus able to resum the virtual DL-corrections to $\gamma\gamma (J_z=0) \to b \bar b$ to all orders.

We confront saturation-based results for diffractive $\psi(2s)$ and $\rho$ production at HERA and $J/\psi$ photoproduction with all available data including recent ones from HERA, ALICE and LHCb, finding a good agreement. We show that the $t$-distribution of differential cross-section of photoproduction of vector mesons offers a unique opportunity to discriminate among saturation and non-saturation models. This is due to emergence of a pronounced dip (or multiple dips) in the $t$-distribution of diffractive photoproduction of vector mesons at relatively large, but potentially accessible $|t|$ that can be traced back to the unitarity features of colour dipole amplitude in the saturation regime. We provide various predictions for exclusive (photo)-production of different vector mesons including the ratio of $\psi(2s)/J/\psi$ at HERA, the LHC and at future colliders.

In this thesis we calculate the NLO one-loop virtual contributions to the QCD DGLAP splitting functions in a form suitable for Monte Carlo simulations. We use the standard technique based on the factorization properties of mass singularities in the light-cone axial gauge \cite{EGMPR79,CFP80} but we propose a modification to this approach by introducing a New Principal Value prescription \cite{GJKS14} in which we use the PV prescription for regularization of {\em all} singularities in the light-cone plus components of the four-momenta. The main advantage of the NPV prescription is that exclusive splitting functions calculated with its help can be used for construction of the Monte-Carlo parton showers. The reason for this is that in the NPV prescription some of the higher order poles in dimensional $\epsilon$ parameter are replaced by the logarithms of a cut-off parameter $\delta$ which has a geometrical meaning in four dimensions. As a consequence, cancellation of the higher order poles between real and virtual components is reduced. On the other hand, at the inclusive level the NPV results agree with the results in the standard PV prescription which shows compatibility of both approaches. With the help of the NPV prescription, we calculate virtual one-loop contributions to the NLO non-singlet splitting function $P_{q\to q}^{NLO}$ and selected contributions to the singlet $P_{g\to g}^{NLO}$ one. We also discuss the dependence of the results on the choice of the integration variable related to the evolution time in Monte Carlo parton showers.

In this thesis we calculate the NLO one-loop virtual contributions to the QCD DGLAP splitting functions in a form suitable for Monte Carlo simulations. We use the standard technique based on the factorization properties of mass singularities in the light-cone axial gauge \cite{EGMPR79,CFP80} but we propose a modification to this approach by introducing a New Principal Value prescription \cite{GJKS14} in which we use the PV prescription for regularization of {\em all} singularities in the light-cone plus components of the four-momenta. The main advantage of the NPV prescription is that exclusive splitting functions calculated with its help can be used for construction of the Monte-Carlo parton showers. The reason for this is that in the NPV prescription some of the higher order poles in dimensional $\epsilon$ parameter are replaced by the logarithms of a cut-off parameter $\delta$ which has a geometrical meaning in four dimensions. As a consequence, cancellation of the higher order poles between real and virtual components is reduced. On the other hand, at the inclusive level the NPV results agree with the results in the standard PV prescription which shows compatibility of both approaches. With the help of the NPV prescription, we calculate virtual one-loop contributions to the NLO non-singlet splitting function $P_{q\to q}^{NLO}$ and selected contributions to the singlet $P_{g\to g}^{NLO}$ one. We also discuss the dependence of the results on the choice of the integration variable related to the evolution time in Monte Carlo parton showers. Finally, we present the {\tt Axiloop} package written in Wolfram Mathematica language, that is dedicated to perform NLO calculations in the axial gauge. Results presented in this thesis were obtained with the help of the {\tt Axiloop} package.

We study the thermodynamic properties of a relativistic magnetized neutral vector boson gas at any temperature. By comparing the results with the low temperature and the non relativistic descriptions of this gas, we found that the fully relativistic case can be separated in two regimes according to temperature. For low temperatures, magnetic field effects dominate and the system shows a spontaneous magnetization, its pressure splits in two components and, eventually, a transversal magnetic collapse might occur. In the high temperature region, the gas behavior is led by pair production. The presence of antiparticles preserves the isotropy in the pressure, and increases the magnetization and the total pressure of the system by several orders. Astrophysical implications of those behaviors are discussed.

We propose a search strategy for the light R0 (glueballino) particle suggested by G.Farrar in connection with the light gluino scenario. The basic idea is to moderate and stop the R0 particles and then observe their decay to almost monochromatic pions - at an appropriate time delay relative to a primary collision event, where a gluino jet, likely to fragment into the R0, was produced. This technique is optimized at colliders and depends on qualitative features of the R0 hadronic interactions which we discuss in detail.

We analyze the associated production at future high--energy $e^+e^-$ colliders, of first generation sleptons with neutralinos and charginos in the modes $e^+ e^-$ and $e \gamma$, in the framework of the Minimal Supersymmetric extension of the Standard Model. We show that the production rates, in particular for associated production of right--handed selectrons and the lightest neutralino which in general is the first accessible kinematically, can be much larger than the corresponding ones for second and third generation scalar leptons and for scalar quarks. With the high--luminosities expected at these colliders, the detection of first generation sleptons with masses significantly above the kinematical two--body threshold, $\sqrt{s}= 2m_{\tilde{l}}$, is thus possible in favourable regions of the parameter space.

We study the compositeness of near-threshold quasi-bound states in the framework of effective field theory. From the viewpoint of the low-energy universality, we revisit the model-independent relations between the structure of the bound state and the observables in the weak binding limit. The effective field theory is utilized to generalize the weak-binding relation of the stable bound states to unstable quasi-bound states with decay modes. We present the interpretation of the complex values of the compositeness for the unstable states. Combining the model-independent relation and the threshold observables extracted from the experimental data, we show that Lambda(1405) is dominated by the Kbar N molecular structure and that a_0(980) is dominated by the non-Kbar K component.

Considering, as a limit case, an approximately flat pion distribution amplitude, which is determined from the hardest, in momentum space, solution of the Bethe-Salpeter equation for the pion wave function, we compute the pion transition form factor $F_{\pi\gamma\gamma^{*}}(Q^{2})$ and the pion form factor $F_{\pi}(Q^2)$, taking into account the LO as well as NLO form of the hard coefficient function entering the leading-twist factorization formula. We also compute the exclusive photoproduction of pions pairs at high energies, $\gamma \gamma \to \pi^{+}\pi^{-}$, where perturbative QCD can be used to compute the hard scattering matrix elements. We verify that the existent data for exclusive pion production can be reasonably described as a function of such flat distribution amplitude.

We discuss the size of the electron-antineutrino electron into electron-antineutrino electron cross section reduction due to the rejection of the events with a vertex bremsstrahlung photon above a certain energy in the final state. In particular we analyze the effect in experiments designed to detect the low energy electron-antineutrino and electron-neutrino from a nuclear reactor and from the Sun. We find that such reduction has to be considered in a relatively high statistic reactor experiment, while it is negligible for pp and 7Be solar neutrino detection.

In light of the recent 750 GeV diphoton excesses reported by the ATLAS and CMS collaborations, we investigate the possibility of explaining this excess using the Minimal Dilaton Model. We find that this model is able to explain the observed excess with the presence of additional top partner(s), with same charge as the top quark, but with mass in the TeV region. First, we constrain model parameters using in addition to the 750 GeV diphoton signal strength, precision electroweak tests, single top production measurements, as well as Higgs signal strength data collected in the earlier runs of the LHC. In addition we discuss interesting phenomenolgy that could arise in this model, relevant for future runs of the LHC.

For energies relevant to future linear colliders, $\sqrt{s} \gsim 500$ GeV, the WW fusion channel dominates the Higgs boson production cross section $e^+ e^- \to \bar{\nu} \nu h^0$. We have calculated the one-loop corrections to this process due to fermion and sfermion loops in the context of the MSSM. As a special case, the contribution of the fermion loops in the SM has also been studied. In general, the correction is negative and sizeable of the order of 10 percent, the bulk of it being due to fermion loops.

We study a very specific type of neutrino mass and mixing structure based on the idea of Strong Scaling Ansatz (SSA) where the ratios of neutrino mass matrix elements belonging to two different columns are equal. There are three such possibilities, all of which are disfavored by the latest neutrino oscillation data. We focus on the specific scenario which predicts vanishing reactor mixing angle $\theta_{13}$ and inverted hierarchy with vanishing lightest neutrino mass. Motivated by several recent attempts to explain non-zero $\theta_{13}$ by incorporating corrections to a leading order neutrino mass or mixing matrix giving $\theta_{13}=0$, here we study the origin of non-zero $\theta_{13}$ as well as leptonic Dirac CP phase $\delta_{CP}$ by incorporating two different corrections to scaling neutrino mass and mixing: one where type II seesaw acts as a correction to scaling neutrino mass matrix and the other with charged lepton correction to scaling neutrino mixing. Although scaling neutrino mass matrix originating from type I seesaw predicts inverted hierarchy, the total neutrino mass matrix after type II seesaw correction can give rise to either normal or inverted hierarchy. However, charged lepton corrections do not disturb the inverted hierarchy prediction of scaling neutrino mass matrix. We further discriminate between neutrino hierarchies, different choices of lightest neutrino mass and Dirac CP phase by calculating baryon asymmetry and comparing with the observations made by the Planck experiment.

We interpret the binding mechanism as mostly molecular-like isospin-exchange attraction between two heavy-light mesons in a relative S-wave state. We then generalize it to other systems containing two heavy hadrons which can couple through isospin exchange. The new predicted states include resonances in meson-meson, meson-baryon, baryon-baryon, and baryon-antibaryon channels. These include those giving rise to final states involving a heavy quark $Q=c,b$ and antiquark $\bar Q' = \bar c,\bar b$, namely $D \bar D^*$, $D^* \bar D^*$, $D^* B^*$, $\bar B B^*$, $\bar B^* B^*$, $\Sigma_c \bar D^*$, $\Sigma_c B^*$, $\Sigma_b \bar D^*$, $\Sigma_b B^*$, $\Sigma_c \bar \Sigma_c$, $\Sigma_c \bar \Lambda_c$, $\Sigma_c \bar \Lambda_b$, $\Sigma_b \bar \Sigma_b$, $\Sigma_b \bar \Lambda_b$, and $\Sigma_b \bar \Lambda_c$, as well as corresponding S-wave states giving rise to $Q Q'$ or $\bar Q \bar Q'$.

The predicted tetraquark mass $M_Z=3.99\pm0.09\,\rm{GeV}$ is in excellent agreement with the experimental value $3985.2^{+2.1}_{-2.0}\pm1.7\,\rm{MeV}$ from the BESIII collaboration, which supports identifying the $Z_{cs}(3985)$ as the cousin of the $Z_c(3900)$ with the quantum numbers $J^{PC}=1^{+-}$.

We examine whether the LHCb vector $ud\bar{c}\bar{s}$ state $X(2900)$ can be interpreted as a kinematical cusp effect arising from $\bar D^*K^*$ and $\bar D_1 K^*$ interactions. The production amplitude is modelled as a triangle diagram with hadronic final state interactions. A satisfactory fit to the Dalitz plot projection is obtained that leverages the singularities of the production diagram without the need for $\bar{D}K$ resonances. A somewhat better fit is obtained if the final state interactions are strong enough to generate resonances, although the evidence in favour of this scenario is not conclusive.

We examine the Universe's transparency to gamma rays within a Lorentz Invariance Violation (LIV) framework, focusing on photon subluminal quadratic corrections driven by a high-energy scale. Based on an explicit calculation, we provide a new expression for the cross section that overcomes the limitations of previous approaches and refines existing constraints for the LIV scale, while we introduce a new approximation that may be useful in LIV scenarios beyond effective field theory. These improvements appear essential for setting constraints on LIV effects with future observations at ultra-high energies, where previous approximations may fall short.

The phenomenological dynamics of the QCD critical phenomena is revisited. Recently, Son and Stephanov claimed that the dynamical universality class of the QCD phase transition belongs to model H. In their discussion, they employed a time-dependent Ginzburg-Landau equation for the net baryon number density, which is a conserved quantity. We derive the Langevin equation for the net baryon number density, i.e., the Cahn-Hilliard equation. Furthermore, they discussed the mode coupling induced through the {\it irreversible} current. Here, we show the {\it reversible} coupling can play a dominant role for describing the QCD critical dynamics and that the dynamical universality class does not necessarily belong to model H.

We consider the class of gauges that interpolates between Landau- and Coulomb-gauge QCD, and show the non-renormalisation of the two independent ghost-gluon vertices. This implies the existence of two RG-invariant running couplings, one of which is interpreted as an RG-invariant gauge parameter. We also present the asymptotic infrared limit of solutions of the Dyson-Schwinger equations in interpolating gauges. The infrared critical exponents of these solutions as well as the resulting infrared fixed point of one of the couplings are independent of the gauge parameter. This coupling also has a fixed point in the Coulomb gauge limit and constitutes a second invariant charge besides the well known colour-Coulomb potential.

It is shown in the framework of the operator product expansion and the renormalization group method that the twist-3 part of flavour nonsinglet spin structure function g_2(x,Q^2) obeys a simple Dokshitzer-Gribov- Lipatov-Altarelli-Parisi (DGLAP) equation in the large N_C limit even in the case of massive quarks (N_C is the number of colours). There are four different types of twist-3 operators which contribute to g_2, including quark-mass-dependent operators and the ones proportional to the equation of motion. They are not all independent but are constrained by one relation. A new choice of the independent operator bases leads to a simple form of the evolution equation for g_2 at large N_C.

In this paper, we investigate the Drell-Yan process with the intermediate heavy $Z'$ boson. We use a general approach to the Abelian $Z'$ that utilizes the renormalization-group relations between the $Z'$ couplings and allows to reduce the number of unknown $Z'$ parameters significantly. In a newly proposed strategy, we estimate the LHC-driven constraints for the $Z'$ couplings to lepton and quark vector currents. To do this, we calculate the $Z'$-related contribution in the narrow-width approximation and compare the obtained values to the experimental data presented by the ATLAS and CMS collaborations. Our method allows to estimate the values of $Z'$ couplings to the $u$ and $d$ quarks and to final-state leptons.

Within the eikonal-limit framework and implementing various jet algorithms, we compute the full distribution of the particular jet mass shape observable at 2-loops, including the large single-logarithms known as non-global logs and clustering logs. We compare our next-to-leading-log analytical resummation to parton showers and, after matching and including non-perturbative effects, to experimental data. A good agreement is shown for all comparisons.

There are good reasons why neutrinos could be Majorana particles, but there exist also a number of very good reasons why neutrinos could have Dirac masses. The latter option deserves more attention and we derive therefore analytic expressions describing the renormalization group evolution of mixing angles and of the CP phase for Dirac neutrinos. Radiative corrections to leptonic mixings are in this case enhanced compared to the quark mixings because the hierarchy of neutrino masses is milder and because the mixing angles are larger. The renormalization group effects are compared to the precision of current and future neutrino experiments. We find that, in the MSSM framework, radiative corrections of the mixing angles are for large \tan\beta comparable to the precision of future experiments.

We compute the order $\alpha_s$ QCD corrections to the density matrix for the decay of a neutral Higgs boson $\phi$ with (in)definite CP parity into a quark antiquark pair, respectively the QED corrections for the decay into a pair of charged leptons. We classify and calculate single spin asymmetries and spin-spin correlations which are generated by the scalar and pseudoscalar Yukawa couplings. These spin effects can be traced in $\phi \to \tau^-\tau^+$ and, for heavy Higgs bosons, in $\phi \to t\bar{t}$. We also calculate resulting correlations among the final states and estimate, for the respective decay modes, the number of events needed to measure the Yukawa couplings with these correlations at the 3 sigma level.

Inspired by the recent measurements of the muon and electron anomalous magnetic moments, the rapid progress of the LHC search for supersymmetry, and the significantly improved sensitivities of dark matter direct detection experiments, we studied the supersymmetric contribution to the electron \texorpdfstring{$g-2$}{}, $a_e^{\rm SUSY}$, in the Next-to-Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model with a discrete $\mathbb{Z}_3$ symmetry. We concluded that $a_e^{\rm SUSY}$ was mainly correlated with $a_\mu^{\rm SUSY}$ by the formula $a_e^{\rm SUSY}/m_e^2 \simeq a_\mu^{\rm SUSY}/m_\mu^2$, and significant violations of this correlation might occur only in rare cases. As a result, $a_e^{\rm SUSY}$ was typically around $5 \times 10^{-14}$ when $a_\mu^{\rm SUSY} \simeq 2.5 \times 10^{-9}$. We also concluded that the dark matter direct detection and LHC experiments played crucial roles in determining the maximum reach of $a_e^{\rm SUSY}$. Concretely, $a_e^{\rm SUSY}$ might be around $3 \times 10^{-13}$ in the optimum cases if one used the XENON-1T experiment to limit the supersymmetry parameter space. This prediction, however, was reduced to $1.5 \times 10^{-13}$ after implementing the LZ restrictions and $1.0 \times 10^{-13}$ when further considering the LHC restrictions.

Delta(54) can serve as a flavor symmetry in particle physics, but remains almost unexplored. We show that in a classification of semi-realistic Z3xZ3 heterotic string orbifolds, Delta(54) turns out to be the most natural flavor symmetry, providing additional motivation for its study. We revisit its phenomenological potential from a low-energy perspective and subject to the constraints of string models. We find a model with Delta(54) arising from heterotic orbifolds that leads to the Gatto-Sartori-Tonin relation for quarks and charged-leptons. Additionally, in the neutrino sector, it leads to a normal hierarchy for neutrino masses and a correlation between the reactor and the atmospheric mixing angles, the latter taking values in the second octant and being compatible at three sigmas with experimental data.

I discuss the static quantities of the W boson, magnetic dipole and electric quadrupole moments, in the context of the minimal supersymmetric standard model, in which supersymmetry is broken by soft terms $A_o,\, m_o,\, M_{1/2}$. Following a renormalization group analysis it is found that the supersymmetric values of $\Delta k_{\gamma}$ and $\Delta Q_{\gamma}$ can be largely different, in some cases, from the standard model predictions but of the same order of magnitude for values of \quad $A_0,m_0,M_{1/2} \leq {\cal O}(1 TeV) $. Therefore possible supersymmetric structure can be probed provided the accuracy of measurements for $\Delta k_{\gamma}$, $\Delta Q_{\gamma}$ reaches $10^{-2}-10^{-3}$ and hence hard to be detected at LEP2. In cases where $M_{1/2} \ll A_0,m_0 $, the charginos and neutralinos may give substantial contributions saturating the LEP2 sensitivity limits. This occurs when their masses $m_{\tilde C},m_{\tilde Z}$ turn out to be both light satisfying $m_{\tilde C}+m_{\tilde Z} \simeq M_W $. However these extreme cases are perturbatively untrustworthy and besides unnatural for they occupy a small region in the parameter space.

We study the non-abelian, gauge invariant, screening potential between two charges in a quark-gluon plasma. Using Braaten and Pisarski resummed perturbation theory in temporal axial gauge, we find a repulsive power screened potential which behaves as $\sim 1/r^6$ at large distance. This questions either the physical meaning of the Debye mass or the known pragmatic treatment of the temporal axial gauge propagator.

Recent higher-order results for the prediction of the W-boson mass, M_W, within the Standard Model are reviewed and an estimate of the remaining theoretical uncertainties of the electroweak precision observables is given. An updated version of a simple numerical parameterisation of the result for M_W is presented. Furthermore, leading electroweak two-loop contributions to the precision observables within the MSSM are discussed.

In this paper the next-to-leading order (NLO) corrections to $B_c$ meson exclusive decays to S-wave charmonia and light pseudoscalar or vector mesons, i.e. $\pi$, $K$, $\rho$, and $K^*$, are performed within non-relativistic (NR) QCD approach. The non-factorizable contribution is included, which is absent in traditional naive factorization (NF). And the theoretical uncertainties for their branching ratios are reduced compared with that of direct tree level calculation. Numerical results show that NLO QCD corrections markedly enhance the branching ratio with a K factor of 1.75 for $B_{c}^{\pm}\to \eta_{c} \pi^{\pm}$ and 1.31 for $B_{c}^{\pm}\to J/\psi \pi^{\pm}$. In order to investigate the asymptotic behavior, the analytic form is obtained in the heavy quark limit, i.e. $m_b \to \infty$. We note that annihilation topologies contribute trivia in this limit, and the corrections at leading order in $z= m_c/m_b$ expansion come from form factors and hard spectator interactions. At last, some related phenomenologies are also discussed.

Single top production processes are usually regarded as the ones in which V_tb can be directly measured at hadron colliders. We show that the analysis of the single top rapidity distribution in t-channel and tW production can also set direct limits on V_td. At LHC with 10 fb^-1 at 14 TeV the combined limits on V_td may be reduced by almost a factor of two when the top rapidity distribution is used. This also implies that the limits on V_tb can also be reduced by 15%, since both parameters as well as V_ts must be simultaneously obtained from a global fit to data. At Tevatron the explotation of this distribution would require very high statistics.

Several experimental measurements of $B$ meson decays, in tension with Standard Model predictions, exhibit large sources of Lepton Flavour Universality violation. We perform an analysis of the effects of the global fits to the Wilson coefficients assuming a model independent effective Hamiltonian approach, by including a proposal of different scenarios to include the New Physics contributions. Both the current fits at the LHC and the ILC projections are considered. We found that for a simultaneous analysis of predictions for the $R_{D^{(*)}}$ and $R_{K^{(*)}}$ observables, the scenarios with three non-universal Wilson coefficients are favoured.

Neutron stars generally cools off by the emission of gamma rays and neutrinos. But axions can also be produced inside a neutron star by the process of nucleon-nucleon axion bremsstrahlung. The escape of these axions adds to the cooling process of neutron star. We explore the nature of cooling of neutron stars including the axion emission and compare our result with the scenario when the neutron star is cooled by only the emission of gamma rays and neutrinos. In our calculations we consider both the degenerate and non-degenerate limits for such axion energy loss rate and the resulting variation of luminosity with time and variation of surface temperature with time of the neutron star. In short the thermal evolution of a neutron star is studied with three neutron star masses (1.0, 1.4, 1.8 solar masses) and by including the effect of axion emission for different axion masses ($m_{a}=10^{-5}\rm{eV}, 10^{-3}\rm{eV}, 10^{-2}\rm{eV}$) and compared with the same when the axion emission is not considered. We compared theoretical cooling curve with the observational data of three pulsars PSR B056+14, Geminga and PSR B1055-52 and finally give an upper bound on axion mass limits $m_{a}\leq10^{-3}$ eV which implies that the axion decay constant $f_{a}\geq0.6\times10^{10}\hspace{1mm}\rm{GeV}$.

Within a formulation of a Dynamical AdS/QCD model we calculate the spectrum of light flavored mesons. The background fields of the model correspond to an IR deformed Anti de Sitter metric coupled to a dilaton field. Confinement comes as a consequence of the dilaton dynamics coupled to gravity. Additionally to the Regge-like spectrum of light- scalar, vector and higher spin mesons, we obtain the decay width of scalar mesons into two pions.

We introduce a novel hybrid framework combining type I and type II seesaw models for neutrino mass where a complex vacuum expectation value of a singlet scalar field breaks CP spontaneously. Using pragmatic organizing symmetries we demonstrate that such a model can simultaneously explain the neutrino oscillation data and generate observed baryon asymmetry through leptogenesis. Interestingly, natural choice of parameters leads to a mixed leptogenesis scenario driven by nearly degenerate scalar triplet and right handed singlet neutrino fields for which we present a detailed quantitative analysis.

The simple "straw-man" model of low-scale technicolor contains light color--singlet technihadrons, which mix with the electroweak gauge bosons. We present lepton collider production rates at the parton level, and show that experiments at LEP2 may be sensitive to the presence of technirho and techniomega states with masses 10-20 GeV beyond the center-of-mass energy because of the mixing. The exact sensitivity depends on several parameters, such as the technipion mass, the technipion mixing angle, and the charge of the technifermions. In an appendix, we describe the implementation of the model into the event generator PYTHIA for particle-level studies at lepton and hadron colliders.

The rapidity distribution are shown, and the distribution of strangeness is found to yield an indicator of thermalization and homogenisation of the deconfined quark system.

The neutrino oscillation hypothesis does a poor job of representing the atmospheric neutrino anomaly. The anomaly is observed over 4 decades in path length and at least a factor of 30 in energy. This restricts the potential oscillation solutions to those with large amplitudes and mixing mass differences that are ruled out by other observations. The $\Delta m^{2}$ region in the range $10^{-4} - 10^{-2}$ leads to inconsistencies within the atmospheric neutrino data itself. The observed value of $R$ seems to be incompatible with the $\Delta m^{2}$ implied by recent results

We use the chiral quark model to estimate the coefficients of the weak chiral lagrangian as obtained from the bosonization of the ten relevant operators of the $\Delta S = 1$ effective quark lagrangian. All contributions of order $N_c^2$ as well as $N_c$ and $\alpha_s N_c$ are included. The chiral coefficients are given in terms of $f_{\pi}$, the quark and gluon condensates and the scale-dependent NLO Wilson coefficients of the corresponding operators. In addition, they depend on the constituent quark mass $M$, a parameter characteristic of the model. The $\gamma_5$-scheme dependence of the chiral coefficients, computed via dimensional regularization, and the Fierz transformation properties of the operator basis are discussed in detail. We apply our result to the evaluation of the hadronic matrix elements for the decay $K^0 \rightarrow 2 \pi$, consistently including the renormalization induced by the meson loops. The effect of this renormalization is sizable and introduces a long-distance scale dependence that matches in the physical amplitudes the short-distance scale dependence of the Wilson coefficients.

We suggest using the half-width rule to make an estimate of the 1/Nc errors in hadronic models containing resonances. We show simple consequences ranging from the analysis of meson Regge trajectories, the hadron resonance gas at finite temperature and generalized hadronic form factors.

We present some phenomenology of the Higgs sector of the Minimal $B-L$ U(1) Extension of the Standard Model at the Large Hadron Collider. In this model, the existence of an extra gauge boson ($Z'$) and an extra scalar (heavy Higgs) are predicted as naturally related with the breaking of the $B-L$ (baryon minus lepton number) symmetry. For this, we have started by deriving the unitarity bounds in the high energy limit for the Minimal $B-L$ Model parameter space. This was accomplished by analysing the full class of Higgs and would-be Goldstone boson two-to-two scatterings at tree level (exploiting the Equivalence Theorem). Hence, we studied some peculiar signature that could be observed at the CERN machine in the search of both light and heavy Higgs bosons.

The general equation from previous work is specialized to a linear potential $V(r)=-a+F r$ acting in the space of spherically symmetric S wave functions. The fine and hyperfine interaction creates then a $\frac1r$-dependence in the effective potential energy equation and a position dependent mass $\widetilde m(r)$ in the effective kinetic energy of the associated Schr\"odinger equation. The results are compared with the available experimental and theoretical spectral data on the $\pi$ and $\rho$. Solving the eigenvalue problem within the analytically tractable Airy-function approach induces a certain amount of arbitrariness (fudge factors). Despite of this, the agreement with experimental data is good and partially better than other calculations, including Godfrey and Isgur \cite{GodIsg85} and Baldicchi and Prosperi \cite{BalPro02}. The short comings of the present model can be removed easily in more elaborate work.

We study the direct CP violation effect in the decay mode $B^+ \to \phi K^+$. This decay mode is dominated by the loop induced $\bar b \to \bar s s \bar s$ penguin diagram with a tiny contribution from annihilation diagram. Therefore, the standard model expectation of direct CP violation is negligibly small. Using QCD factorization approach we find the CP asymmetry in the standard model to be at percent level. We consider then two scenarios beyond the standard model, the model with an extra vector like down quark (VLDQ) and the R-parity violating supersymmetric model (RPV) and show that the direct CP violating asymmetry in $B^+ \to \phi K^+ $ could be as large as ~85% (70%) in VLDQ (RPV) model.
