supersymmetric particles can be observed as resonances even if they are heavier
than the top quark due to the significant off-shell top-quark mass effects. The
approach where the top quark is produced on-mass-shell and then decays into 2-

distributions and rates. The rates of the 2 -> 4 process with top quark
production and RPV 3-body decay depend on the total width of the heavy
intermediate sfermion which could,therefore, be measured indirectly.
We find that the LHC collider offers a unique potential to study rare top
quark decays in the framework of supersymmetry with broken R-parity for
branching fractions of RPV top decays as low as 10^{-6}

fluctuation field dependent Delta V(phi), which decays exponentially during
inflation, and actually would not provide a sufficient amount of inflation. The
fluctuation field has a different effective mass which shifts the bare Higgs
transition point to a lower value mu'_0 = 7.7x10^14 GeV. The vacuum energy V(0)
being proportional to M_Pl^4 has a coefficient which vanishes near the Higgs
transition point, such that the bare and the renormalized cosmological constant
match at this point. The role of the Higgs in reheating and baryogenesis is

Such a heavy charged Higgs boson is unaccessible at the 13 TeV LHC with a luminosity of 36.1 $\rm fb^{-1}$ and its detection needs higher energy and/or higher luminosity. |

equivalent. Secondly, for the Abelian case we discuss both UV and IR quantum

suitable for offshell Green functions calculations, together with their

cross section at one-loop in a quantum scale invariant theory. Such a theory
contains not only new UV poles but also IR poles. While the UV poles bring new
quantum corrections (in the form of counterterms), finite or divergent, that we
compute, it is shown that the IR poles do not bring new physics. The IR quantum
corrections, both finite and divergent, cancel out similarly to the way the IR
poles themselves cancel in the traditional approach to IR divergences (in the
cross section, after summing over virtual and real corrections). Hence, the

a way that preserves custodial symmetry at tree level; however, this custodial
symmetry has long been known to be violated at the one-loop level by
hypercharge interactions. We consider the custodial-symmetric GM model to arise
at some high scale as a result of an unspecified ultraviolet completion, and
quantify the custodial symmetry violation induced as the model is run down to
the weak scale. The measured value of the eletroweak rho parameter (along with
unitarity considerations) lets us constrain the scale of the ultraviolet
completion to lie below tens to hundreds of TeV. Subject to this constraint, we
quantify the size of other custodial-symmetry-violating effects at the weak
scale, including custodial symmetry violation in the couplings of the 125 GeV
Higgs boson to W and Z boson pairs and mixings and mass splittings among the
additional Higgs bosons in the theory. We find that these effects are small

to strict upper limits obtained on gauge and other dimensionless couplings

doublet-triplet splitting without fine--tuning is chief among them. Symmetry
breaking should occur consistently without unwanted Goldston bosons, \mu-term
of order TeV for the MSSM Higgs fileds should emerge naturally, and realistic
fermion masses with small quark mixing angles and large lepton mixing angles
should be generated with some predictivity. Significant progress has been made
over the years towards achieving these goals in the context of supersymmetric
SO(10) GUT. A complete SO(10) model is presented along this line wherein,
somewhat surprisingly, the GUT scale threshold corrections to the gauge
couplings are found to be small. This results in a predictive scenario for
proton lifetime. An interesting correlation between the d=6 (p\to e^+\pi^0) and
d=5 (p\to \nu-bar K^+) decay amplitudes is observed. This class of models
predicts that both proton decay modes should be observable with an improvement
in the current sensitivity by about a factor of five to ten.

Submitted to PRD | Phys. Rev. D 91, 035018 (2015) | 10.1103/PhysRevD.91.035018 | null | hep-ph | http://arxiv.org/licenses/nonexclusive-distrib/1.0/ | We update the phenomenology of gauge singlet extensions of the Standard Model
scalar sector and their implications for the electroweak phase transition.
Considering the introduction of one real scalar singlet to the scalar
potential, we analyze present constraints on the potential parameters from
Higgs coupling measurements at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) and electroweak
precision observables for the kinematic regime in which no new scalar decay
modes arise. We then show how future precision measurements of Higgs boson
signal strengths and Higgs self-coupling could probe the scalar potential
parameter space associated with a strong first-order electroweak phase
transition. We illustrate using benchmark precision for several future collider
options, including the High Luminosity LHC (HL-LHC), the International Linear
Collider (ILC), TLEP, China Electron Positron Collider (CEPC), and a 100 TeV
proton-proton collider, such as the Very High Energy LHC (VHE-LHC) or the Super
proton-proton Collider (SPPC). For the regions of parameter space leading to a
strong first order electroweak phase transition, we find that there exists
considerable potential for observable deviations from purely Standard Model
Higgs properties at these prospective future colliders.

allows to study how these multiparticle sprays are modified as they pass
through the quark-gluon plasma. In order to shed new light on this process, we
compute the inclusive two-gluon rate off a hard quark propagating through a
color deconfined medium at first order in medium opacity. We explicitly impose
an energy ordering of the two emitted gluons, such that the "hard" gluon can be
thought of as belonging to the jet substructure while the other is a "soft"
emission (which can be collinear or medium-induced). Our analysis focusses on
two specific limits that clarify the modification of the additional angle- and
formation time-ordering of splittings. In one limit, the formation time of the
"hard" gluon is short compared to the "soft" gluon formation time, leading to a
probabilistic formula for production of and subsequent radiation off a
quark-gluon antenna. In the other limit, the ordering of formation is reverted,
which automatically leads to the fact that the jet substructure is resolved by
the medium. We observe in this case a characteristic delay: the jet radiates as
one color current (quark) up to the formation of the "hard" gluon, at which
point we observe the onset of radiation of the new color current (gluon). Our
computation supports a picture in which the in-medium jet dynamics are
described as a collection of subsequent antennas which are resolved by the
medium according to their transverse extent.

identification of the hadronic molecules and the interaction between two color
neutral hadrons. We study the di-hadronic molecular systems with proposed
interaction potential as s-wave one boson exchange potential along with Screen
Yukawa-like potential, and arrived with the proposal that within hadronic
molecule the two color neutral hadrons experience the dipole-like interaction.
The present study is the continuation of our previous study
\cite{arxiv-Rathaud-penta}. With the proposed interaction potential, the mass
spectra of $\Sigma_{s}K^{*}$, $\Sigma_{c}K^{*}$, $\Sigma_{b}K^{*}$,
$\Sigma_{s}D^{*}$, $\Sigma_{c}D^{*}$, $\Sigma_{b}D^{*}$, $\Sigma_{s}B^{*}$,

$\Xi_{c}B^{*}$, $\Xi_{b}B^{*}$ meson-baryon molecules are predicted. The
Weinberg compositeness theorem which provides clue for the compositeness of the
state is used for determination of the scattering length and effective range.
The present study predict $P_{c}(4450)$ pentaquark sate as $\Sigma_{c}D^{*}$
molecule with $I(J^{P})=\frac{1}{2}(\frac{3}{2}^{-})$. The formalism also
predicts some very interesting open as well as hidden flavour near threshold

1$. We incorporate the renormalization group running of the relevant parameters
as computed within the Standard Model and allow for small corrections. In
addition to $\xi$, our model features two tunable parameters: the low-energy
value of the top Yukawa coupling and an effective jump of the Higgs
self-interaction. Our results indicate that critical points leading to a large
enhancement of the power spectrum can be produced. However, the observed
amplitude of perturbations in the CMB cannot be matched within this setting. On
the one hand, this makes it difficult to generate a sizable abundance of

the upper limit of $\mathcal{B}(B^-\rightarrow \sigma(600)\pi^-)$ in the Bugg

model to describe the propagator of the $\sigma(600)$ meson even though the
finite width effects are considered in both models. The large values of
$\rho_S$ indicate that the contributions from weak annihilation and hard

independent three and four point on-shell amplitudes involving top quarks,
under the assumption of $SU(3)_c\times U(1)_{em}$ invariance. The four point
amplitudes factorize into primary and descendent amplitudes, where descendants
are primaries multiplied by Mandelstam variables. By enumerating the allowed

independent terms and convert those into a Lagrangian which parameterizes these

series to count the number of independent Lagrangian operators. Interestingly,
we find situations where the Hilbert series has cancellations which, if
na\"{i}vely interpreted, would lead to the incorrect conclusion that that there
are no primary operators at a given mass dimension. We characterize the four
fermion ($ffff$) and two fermion, two gauge boson ($ffVV$) operators
respectively up to dimension 12 and 13. Finally, by combining unitarity bounds

both new charge current and flavor changing neutral current decays that occur

To this end, we adopt a resummed perturbation theory point of view and employ
two different frameworks. We first use hard-thermal-loop perturbation theory
(HLTpt) at leading order to obtain the pressure for nonvanishing quark chemical
potentials, and next, inspired by dimensional reduction, resum the known
four-loop weak coupling expansion for the quantity.
We present and analyze our findings for various cumulants of conserved

fluctuations, on the degrees of freedom effectively present in the quark-gluon
plasma right above the deconfinement transition. Moreover, we compare our
results with state-of-the-art lattice Monte Carlo simulations as well as with a
recent three-loop mass truncated HTLpt calculation. We obtain very good
agreement between the two different perturbative schemes, as well as between
them and lattice data, down to surprisingly low temperatures right above the
phase transition. We also quantitatively test the convergence of an
approximation, which is used in higher order loop calculations in HTLpt. This
method based on expansions in mass parameters, is unavoidable beyond leading
order, thus motivating our investigation. We find the ensuing convergence to be
very fast, validating its use in higher order computations.

We derive improved or even entirely new limits on dineutrino branching ratios
including decays $B^0 \to (K^0 , X_s)\, \nu \bar \nu$, $B_s \to \phi \,\nu \bar
\nu$ and $B^0 \to (\pi^0, \rho^0)\, \nu \bar \nu$ from dineutrino modes which
presently are best constrained: $B^+ \to (K^+,\pi^+, \rho^+) \,\nu \bar \nu$
and $B^0 \to K^{*0} \,\nu \bar \nu$. Using SMEFT we obtain new flavor
constraints from the dineutrino modes, which are stronger than the
corresponding ones from charged dilepton rare $b$-decay or Drell-Yan data, for
$e \tau$ and $\tau \tau$ final states, as well as for $\mu \tau$ ones in $b \to

four-fermion operators with top quarks. Implications for ditau modes $b \to s
\, \tau^+ \tau^-$ and $b \to d \, \tau^+ \tau^-$ are worked out. Furthermore,
the interplay between dineutrinos and charged dileptons allows for concrete,
novel tests of lepton universality in rare $B$-decays. Performing a global fit
to $b \to s \,\mu^+ \mu^-, \,s \gamma$ transitions we find that lepton
universality predicts the ratio of the $B^0 \to K^{*0} \,\nu \bar \nu$ to $B^0
\to K^0 \,\nu \bar \nu$ ($B^+ \to K^+ \,\nu \bar \nu$) branching fractions to
be within 1.7 to 2.6 (1.6 to 2.4) at $1\,\sigma$, a region that includes the
standard model, and that can be narrowed with improved charged dilepton data.
There is sizable room outside this region where universality is broken and that
can be probed with the Belle II experiment. Using results of a fit to $B^0 \to
\mu^+ \mu^-$, $B^0_s\to \bar{K}^{\ast 0}\,\mu^+\mu^-$ and $ B^+ \to \pi^+\,
\mu^+ \mu^-$ data we obtain an analogous relation for $|\Delta b|=|\Delta d|=1$

Nonperturbative Methods and Quantization on the Light Cone, Les Houches,
France, Feb 24-Mar 7, 1997 | null | null | null | hep-ph | null | Recently, QCD Dirac spectra have been obtained for reasonably large lattices.
We argue that correlations of these spectra are universal and can be obtained
from a random matrix model with the global symmetries of QCD. Analytical
arguments are presented to support this claim. Detailed comparisons with
lattice results are made. We analyze spectral correlations in the bulk of the
spectrum and find that long range fluctuations are strongly suppressed in
complete agreement with random matrix theory. We study the valence quark mass
dependence of the lattice QCD Dirac operator showing that the average spectral
density near zero virtuality is given by chiral random matrix theory. This
agrees with recent lattice calculations of the microscopic spectral density. of
this lecture, we introduce a schematic random matrix model for the chiral phase

] | Recently, QCD Dirac spectra have been obtained for reasonably large lattices. We argue that correlations of these spectra are universal and can be obtained from a random matrix model with the global symmetries of QCD. Analytical arguments are presented to support this claim. Detailed comparisons with lattice results are made. We analyze spectral correlations in the bulk of the spectrum and find that long range fluctuations are strongly suppressed in complete agreement with random matrix theory. We study the valence quark mass dependence of the lattice QCD Dirac operator showing that the average spectral density near zero virtuality is given by chiral random matrix theory. This agrees with recent lattice calculations of the microscopic spectral density. of this lecture, we introduce a schematic random matrix model for the chiral phase transition at nonzero chemical potential. We consider both real, complex and quaternion real matrix elements. We find a remarkable triality for the distribution of of the eigenvalues in the complex plane. In particular, this elucidates the nature of the quenched approximation in each case. |

transverse momentum reactions. The presence of direct higher-twist processes,
where a proton is produced directly in the hard subprocess, can explain the
"baryon anomaly" -- the large proton-to-pion ratio seen at RHIC in high
centrality heavy ion collisions. Direct hadronic processes can also account for
the deviation from leading-twist PQCD scaling at fixed x_T = 2p_T/\sqrt s. I
suggest that the "ridge" -- the same-side long-range rapidity correlation
observed at RHIC in high centrality heavy ion collisions is due to the imprint
of semihard DGLAP gluon radiation from initial-state partons which have
transverse momenta biased toward the trigger. Rescattering interactions from
gluon-exchange, normally neglected in the parton model, have a profound effect
in QCD hard-scattering reactions, leading to leading-twist single-spin
asymmetries, diffractive deep inelastic scattering, diffractive hard hadronic
reactions, the breakdown of the Lam-Tung relation in Drell-Yan reactions,
nuclear shadowing --all leading-twist dynamics not incorporated in the
light-front wavefunctions of the target computed in isolation. Antishadowing is
shown to be quark flavor specific and thus different in charged and neutral
deep inelastic lepton-nucleus scattering. I also discuss the consequences of
color-octet intrinsic heavy quark distributions in the proton for heavy
particle and Higgs production at high x_F. The AdS/CFT correspondence between
Anti-de Sitter space and conformal gauge theories allows one to compute the
analytic form of frame-independent light-front wavefunctions of mesons and
baryons and to compute quark and gluon hadronization at the amplitude level.

three-loop seesaw. It is a minimally extended inert doublet model with a
spontaneously broken global symmetry $U(1)'$ and a preserved $\mathbb{Z}_2$
symmetry. The three-loop suppression allows the new particles to have masses at
the TeV scale without fine-tuning the Yukawa couplings. The model leads to a
rich phenomenology while satisfying all the current constraints imposed by
neutrinoless double-beta decay, charged-lepton flavor violation, and
electroweak precision observables. The relatively large Yukawa couplings lead
to sizable rates for charged lepton flavor violation processes, well within
future experimental reach. The model could also successfully explain the $W$
mass anomaly and provides viable fermionic or scalar dark matter candidates.

In addition to a complete description of fermion masses, the model predicts the
lepton mixing matrix in terms of two parameters. The good measurement of
$\theta_{13}$ makes these two parameters nearly proportional, leading to an
approximate one-parameter description of neutrino oscillations. There is a
sharp fourfold degenerate correlation between $\delta_{CP}$ and the atmospheric
mixing angle $\theta_{23}$, so that maximal $\theta_{23}$ also implies maximal

description for all elementary particles of spin 0, 1/2, 1, and 3/2. The
Lagrangian formulation given by Einstein and Mayer in 1933 predicts two main
classes of solutions. (1) Point like partons which come in two families, quarks
and leptons. The correct fractional or integral electric and baryonic charges,
and zero mass for the neutrino and the u-quark, are set by eigenvalue
equations. The electro-weak interaction of the partons is the same as with the
Standard model, with the same two free parameters: e and sin^2 theta. There is
no need for a Higgs symmetry breaking mechanism. (2) Extended hadrons for which
there is no simple eigenvalue equation for the mass. The strong interaction is
essentially non-local. The pion mass and pion-nucleon coupling constant
determine to first order the nucleon size, mass and anomalous magnetic moment.

magnetic moments of the electron and the muon. These are needed because of the
very precise experimental values presently obtained for the electron, and soon
to be obtained at BNL for the muon. The Pade prediction for the QED
contribution to the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon differs significantly
from the naive perturbative prediction.

\gamma$ at one loop order in chiral perturbation theory. As a new improvement
we have included the weak mass term which is only relevant for processes with
external fields in the final state. This term was ignored in earlier
publications for this decay. We find that the inclusion of $G_{8}^{\prime}$
brings the theoretical decay rate into a good agreement with experiment.
