After a brief review of the theoretical basis of void scaling function properties of hierarchical structure, we analyze the phenomenological consequences at single jet level in Monte Carlo e+e- annihilation events. We find an interesting alternative approach for characterizing quark and gluon jets.

We discuss the general properties of generalized parton distributions with helicity flip (transversity) for spin-1 hadrons in the leading twist case. Using a basic light cone convolution model, we show the deuteron helicity amplitudes containing quark helicity flip GPDs and comment on the role deuteron angular momentum plays in these.

Standard simple assumptions are usually made about the pre-Big Bang Nucleosynthesis epoch, from which we do not have observations. Modifying these assumptions, the predicted density of relic particles such as neutralinos and sterile neutrinos can be very different from that in the standard case. For example, neutralinos could have the dark matter density in (almost) any supersymmetric model, and sterile neutrinos with mixings large enough to be soon detected in neutrino experiments would become cosmologically acceptable. These possibilities are important in view of what the LHC, and neutrino experiments could soon find.

Charge and isospin event-by-event fluctuations in high-energy pp-collisions are predicted within the Unitary Eikonal Model, in particular the fluctuation patterns of the ratios of charged-to-charged and neutral-to-charged pions. These fluctuations are found to be sensitive to the presence of unstable resonances, such as $\rho $ and $\omega $ mesons. We predict that the charge-fluctuation observable $D_{UEM}$ should be restricted to the interval $8/3\le D_{UEM}\le 4$ depending on the $\rho /\pi $ production ratio. Also, the isospin fluctuations of the DCC-type of the ratio of neutral-to-charged pions are suppressed if pions are produced together with $\rho $ mesons.

It is often argued that the minimal supersymmetric standard model has O(100) free parameters and the generic parameter region is already excluded by the null observation of the flavor and CP violating processes as well as the constraints from the LHC experiments. This situation naturally leads us to consider the case where all the dangerous soft supersymmetry breaking terms such as the scalar masses and scalar couplings are absent, while only the unified gaugino mass term and the mu term are non-vanishing at the grand unification scale. We revisit this simple situation taking into account the observed Higgs boson mass, 125 GeV. Since the gaugino mass and the mu term are fixed in order to explain the Higgs boson and the Z boson masses, there is no free parameter left in this scenario. We find that there are three independent parameter sets exist including ones which have not been discussed in the literature. We also find that the abundance of the dark matter can be explained by relic gravitinos which are non-thermally produced as decay products of the SUSY particles while satisfying constraints from Big Bang Nucleosynthesis. We discuss the effects of the gravity mediation which generically give contribution to the soft terms of the order of the gravitino mass. It turns out that newly found parameter set is preferable to explain the Higgs boson mass as well as the gravitino dark matter while satisfying the constraints from the electric dipole moments of the electron and the nucleon.

High-energy unitarity is argued to select a special version of QCD as the strong interaction. Electroweak symmetry breaking has to be due to a new sextet quark sector - that will produce large cross-section effects at the LHC. The sextet sector embeds, uniquely, in a massless SU(5) theory that potentially generates the states and interactions of the Standard Model within a bound-state S-Matrix. Infra-red chirality transitions of the massless Dirac sea play an essential dynamical role.

An excess in the branching fraction for $B^+ \to K^+ \nu\nu$ recently measured at Belle II may be a hint of new physics. We perform thorough likelihood analyses for different new physics scenarios such as $B \to KX$ with a new invisible particle $X$, or $B\to K\chi\chi$ through a scalar, vector, or tensor current with $\chi$ being a new invisible particle or a neutrino. We find that vector-current 3-body decay with $m_X \simeq 0.6$ GeV - which may be dark matter - is most favored, while 2-body decay with $m_X \simeq 2$ GeV is also competitive. The best-fit branching fractions for the scalar and tensor cases are a few times larger than for the 2-body and vector cases. Past BaBar measurements provide further discrimination, although the best-fit parameters stay similar.

We investigate the model dependence of no-helicity flip generalized parton distribution of the pion upon different approaches for the quark-hadron and quark-photon vertexes, in the spacelike region. In order to obtain information on contributions from both the valence and non-valence regions, we compare results for spacelike momentum transfers obtained from i) an analytic covariant model with a bare quark-photon vertex, ii) a Light-front approach with a quark-photon vertex dressed through a microscopic vector-meson model and iii) a Light-front approach based on the Relativistic Hamiltonian Dynamics. Our comparisons lead to infer the same dynamical mechanism, the one-gluon-exchange dominance at short distances, as a source of both the electromagnetic form factor at large momentum transfer and the parton distribution close to the end-points. The expected collinear behavior of the generalized parton distributions at high momentum transfer, i.e. a maximum for $x\sim 1$, is also illustrated, independently of the different approaches. Finally a comparison with recent Lattice calculations of the gravitational form factors is presented.

The most dramatic "Sommerfeld enhancements" of neutral-wino-pair annihilation occur when the wino mass is tuned to near critical values where there is a zero-energy S-wave resonance at the neutral-wino-pair threshold. If the wino mass is larger than the critical value, the resonance is a wino-pair bound state. If the wino mass is near a critical value, low-energy winos can be described by a zero-range effective field theory in which the winos interact nonperturbatively through a contact interaction. The parameters of the zero-range effective field theory can be determined by matching wino scattering amplitudes calculated by solving the Schr\"odinger equation for a nonrelativistic effective field theory in which the winos interact through a potential due to the exchange of electroweak gauge bosons. The utility of the zero-range effective field theory is illustrated by calculating the rate for formation of an S-wave bound state in the collision of two neutral winos through the emission of two soft photons.

We calculate the cross section of Higgs boson production in the reaction e+e- -> neutrino anti-neutrino b b-bar for the case of left and right longitudinally polarized electron beam. Complete set of signal and irreducible background diagrams is considered. We propose a new critical test to identify the Higgs boson provided by the ratio of cross sections with left and right beam polarization. This quantity is sensitive to the ratio of Higgs-W and Higgs-Z couplings, since it exhibits the interplay of bremsstrahlung and fusion mechanisms of Higgs boson production inherent to the Standard Model scheme.

Gluon fragmentation to $\chicJ(1P)$ followed by single photon emission represents the dominant source of prompt $J/\Psi$'s at the Tevatron for $p_\perp \gtap 6 \GeV$. Since fragmenting gluons are approximately transverse, their products are significantly polarized. We find that gluon fragmentation populates the helicity levels of $\chione$, $\chitwo$ and $J/\Psi$ according to $D_{\chione^{(h=0)}}: D_{\chione^{(|h|=1)}} \simeq 1:1$, $D_{\chitwo^{(h=0)}} : D_{\chitwo^{(|h|=1)}} : D_{\chitwo^{(|h|=2)}} \simeq 1:2.9:6.0$ and $D_{\J^{(h=0)}} : D_{\J^{(|h|=1)}} \simeq 1:3.4$. We also speculate that gluon fragmentation to the radially excited $\chitwo(2P)$ state followed by subsequent radiative decay could represent a large source of $\psi'(2S)$'s and potentially resolve the $\psi'$ deficit problem. A measurement of these states' polarizations would test this idea.

In the path towards a muon collider with center of mass energy of 10 TeV or more, a stage at 3 TeV emerges as an appealing option. Reviewing the physics potential of such muon collider is the main purpose of this document. In order to outline the progression of the physics performances across the stages, a few sensitivity projections for higher energy are also presented. There are many opportunities for probing new physics at a 3 TeV muon collider. Some of them are in common with the extensively documented physics case of the CLIC 3 TeV energy stage, and include measuring the Higgs trilinear coupling and testing the possible composite nature of the Higgs boson and of the top quark at the 20 TeV scale. Other opportunities are unique of a 3 TeV muon collider, and stem from the fact that muons are collided rather than electrons. This is exemplified by studying the potential to explore the microscopic origin of the current $g$-2 and $B$-physics anomalies, which are both related with muons.

The global polarization of $\Lambda/{\bar \Lambda}$ and the splitting of ${\bar \Lambda}-\Lambda$ polarization induced by rotation and magnetic field has been investigated in a dynamical quark model by taking into account the axial vector interaction and the anomalous magnetic moment of quarks. It is found that the rotation leads to the spin polarization of quarks and anti-quarks with the same sign, while the magnetic field to opposite sign, which corresponds to the ${\bar \Lambda}-\Lambda$ polarization splitting. The combination of the two effects leads to perfect agreement with experiment data. Quantitatively, the axial vector spin polarization contributes 30$\%$ of the global polarization and the anomalous magnetic moment of quarks contributes 40$\%$ to the splitting of ${\bar \Lambda}-\Lambda$ polarization. However, at $\sqrt{s_{NN}} \leq 7.7 \text{GeV}$, it still remains a challenge to reach enough magnitude of the magnetic field at freeze-out.

We study isospin breaking instanton corrections to the operator product expansion of the nucleon correlation functions. After a comparison with quark model calculations based on the 't Hooft interaction, we examine the role of instantons in the corresponding QCD sum rules. Instanton contributions are found to be absent in the chirally even sum rule, but significant in the chirally-odd one. They improve the consistency of both sum rules and favor a value of the isovector quark condensate close to the chiral estimate.

It has been recently pointed out that neutrino fluxes from a supernova can show substantial flavor conversions almost immediately above the core. Using linear stability analyses and numerical solutions of the fully nonlinear equations of motion, we perform a detailed study of these fast conversions, focussing on the region just above the supernova core. We carefully specify the instabilities for evolution in space or time, andfind that neutrinos travelling towards the core make fast conversions more generic, i.e., possible for a wider range of flux ratios and angular asymmetries that produce a crossing between the zenith-angle spectra of $\nu_e$ and ${\bar\nu_e}$. Using fluxes and angular distributions predicted by supernova simulations, we find that fast conversions can occur within tens of nanoseconds, only a few meters away from the putative neutrinospheres. If these fast flavor conversions indeed take place, they would have important implications for the supernova explosion mechanism and nucleosynthesis.

There is a long-standing anomaly in the ratio of the decay width for $\psi(3770)\to D^0\overline{D^0}$ to that for $\psi(3770)\to D^+D^-$ at the level of $9.5\,\sigma$. A similar anomaly exists for the ratio of $\phi(1020)\to K_\text{L}^0K_\text{S}^0$ to $\phi(1020)\to K^+K^-$ at $2.1\,\sigma$. In this study, we reassess the anomaly through the lens of Gaussian wave-packet formalism. Our comprehensive calculations include the localization of the overlap of the wave packets near the mass thresholds as well as the composite nature of the initial-state vector mesons. The results align within $\sim 1 \sigma$ confidence level with the Particle Data Group's central values for a physically reasonable value of the form-factor parameter, indicating a resolution to these anomalies. We also check the deviation of a wave-packet resonance from the Briet-Wigner shape and find that wide ranges of the wave-packet size are consistent with the experimental data.

Flavor SU(3) is used for studying the time-dependent CP asymmetry in $B^0 \to \pi^0 K_S$ by relating this process to $B^0\to \pi^0\pi^0$ and $B^0 \to K^+K^-$. We calculate correlated bounds on $S_{\pi K} - \sin 2\beta$ and $C_{\pi K}$, with maximal magnitudes of 0.2 and 0.3, where $S_{\pi K}$ and $C_{\pi K}$ are coefficients of $\sin\Delta mt$ and $\cos\Delta mt$ in the asymmetry. Stronger upper limits on $B^0 \to K^+K^-$ are expected to reduce these bounds and to imply nonzero lower limits on these observables. The asymmetry is studied as a function of a strong phase and the weak phase $\gamma$.

Strangelets with non-zero entropy are studied within the MIT bag model. Explicit account is taken of the constraints that strangelets must be color neutral and have a fixed total momentum. In general, masses increase with increasing entropy per baryon, and the constraints work so as to increase masses further. This has an important destabilizing effect on strangelets produced in ultrarelativistic heavy ion collisions.

Peaked Signals from Dark Matter Velocity Structures in Direct Detection Experiments

In direct dark matter detection experiments, conventional elastic scattering of WIMPs results in exponentially falling recoil spectra. In contrast, theories of WIMPs with excited states can lead to nuclear recoil spectra that peak at finite recoil energies E_R. The peaks of such signals are typically fairly broad, with Delta E_R/E_peak ~ 1. We show that in the presence of dark matter structures with low velocity dispersion, such as streams or clumps, peaks from up-scattering can become extremely narrow with FWHM of a few keV only. This differs dramatically from the conventionally expected WIMP spectrum and would, once detected, open the possibility to measure the dark matter velocity structure with a fantastic accuracy. As an intriguing example, we confront the observed cluster of 3 events near 42 keV from the CRESST commissioning run with this scenario, and find a wide range of parameters capable for producing such a peak. We compare the possible signals at other experiments, and find that such a particle could also give rise to the signal at DAMA, although not from the same stream. Over some range of parameters a signal would be visible at xenon experiments. We show that such dark matter peaks are a very clear signal, and can be easily disentangled from potential backgrounds, both terrestrial or due to WIMP down-scattering, by an enhanced annual modulation signature in both the amplitude of the signal and its shape.

The densities are shown to originate entirely from the use of light front time instead of instant form time, which physically corresponds to using an alternative synchronization convention. This is shown by using tilted light front coordinates, which consist of light front time and ordinary spatial coordinates, and which are also used to show that the obtained densities describe a system at rest rather than at infinite momentum. These coordinates allow all four components of the electromagnetic current density to be given clear physical meanings. We explicate the formalism for spin-half targets, obtaining charge and current densities of the proton and neutron using empirical form factor parametrizations, as well as up and down quark densities and currents. Angular modulations in the densities of transversely-polarized states are explained as originating from redshifts and blueshifts due to quarks moving in different longitudinal directions.

A vector-like extension of the standard model for heavier quarks and leptons with $SU(2)\times U(1)$ gauge symmetry and only one Higgs doublet is examined. This scheme incorporates infinitely many fermions and avoids the appearance of a strongly interacting sector. The model is perturbatively well controllable, and constraints such as $b\rightarrow s\gamma$ and GIM suppression in general are naturally satisfied if the on-set of heavier fermion mass scale is chosen at a few TeV. In this scheme, the physical Higgs particle generally mediates leptonic as well as quark flavor-changing processes at a rate below the present experimental limit. Vector-like models, if suitably defined, provide a viable and interesting scheme for physics beyond 1 TeV.

In this paper, we perform a comprehensive study to probe the effects of large extra dimensions through double Higgs production in proton-proton collisions at the center-of-mass energies of 14, 33, 100 TeV. We concentrate on the channel in which both Higgs bosons decay into $b\bar{b}$ pair and take into account the main background contributions through realistic Monte-Carlo simulations. In order to achieve an efficient event reconstruction and a good background rejection, jet substructure techniques are used to efficiently capture the boosted Higgs bosons in the final state. The expected limits on the model parameters are obtained based on the invariant mass and the angular properties of the final state objects. Depending on the number of extra dimensions, bounds up to 6.1, 12.5, 28.1 TeV are set on the model parameter at proton-proton collisions with the center-of-mass energies of 14, 33, and 100 TeV, respectively.

In Supersymmetry with large $\tan\beta$ values, the lighter stau ($\tilde{\tau}_{1}$) may be lighter than the lightest chargino ($\tilde{\chi}^{\pm}_{1}$). The decay $\tilde{\chi}^{\pm}_{1} \to \tilde{\tau}^{\pm}_{1} \nu_{\tau}$, followed by $\tilde{\tau}^{\pm}_{1} \to \tilde{\chi}^{0}_{1} \tau$, alters a phenomenology of the chargino production.

The top quark antiquark production system in the dilepton decay channel is described by a set of equations which is nonlinear in the unknown neutrino momenta. Its most precise and least time consuming solution is of major importance for measurements of top quark properties like the top quark mass and $t\bar{t}$ spin correlations. The initial system of equations can be transformed into two polynomial equations with two unknowns by means of elementary algebraic operations. These two polynomials of multidegree two can be reduced to one univariate polynomial of degree four by means of resultants. The obtained quartic equation is solved analytically.

In the event that R-Parity conserving supersymmetry (SUSY) is discovered at the LHC, a key issue which will need to be addressed will be the consistency of that signal with astrophysical and non-accelerator constraints on SUSY Dark Matter. This issue is studied for the SPA benchmark model based on measurements of end-points and thresholds in the invariant mass spectra of various combinations of leptons and jets. These measurements are used to constrain the soft SUSY breaking parameters at the electroweak scale in a general MSSM model. Based on these constraints, we assess the accuracy with which the Dark Matter relic density can be measured.

In order to analyze data on joint charged-particle/photon distributions from an experimental search (T-864, MiniMax) for disoriented chiral condensate (DCC) at the Fermilab Tevatron collider, we have identified robust observables, ratios of normalized bivariate factorial moments, with many desirable properties. These include insensitivity to many efficiency corrections and the details of the modeling of the primary pion production, and sensitivity to the production of DCC, as opposed to the generic, binomial-distribution partition of pions into charged and neutral species. The relevant formalism is developed and tested in Monte-Carlo simulations of the MiniMax experimental conditions.

The present upper bound on $\kappa_e$, the ratio between the electron Yukawa coupling and its Standard Model value, is of ${\cal O}(600)$. We ask what would be the implications in case that $\kappa_e$ is close to this upper bound. The simplest extension that allows for such enhancement is that of two Higgs doublet models (2HDM) without natural flavor conservation. In this framework, we find the following consequences: (i) Under certain conditions, measuring $\kappa_e$ and $\kappa_V$ would be enough to predict values of Yukawa couplings for other fermions and for the $H$ and $A$ scalars. (ii) In the case that the scalar potential has a softly broken $Z_2$ symmetry, the second Higgs doublet must be light, but if there is hard breaking of the symmetry, the second Higgs doublet can be much heavier than the electroweak scale and still allow the electron Yukawa coupling to be very different from its SM value. (iii) CP must not be violated at a level higher than ${\cal O}(0.01/\kappa_e)$ in both the scalar potential and the Yukawa sector. (iv) LHC searches for $e^+e^-$ resonances constrain this scenario in a significant way. Finally, we study the implications for models where one of the scalar doublets couples only to the first generation, or only to the third generation.

The associated production of direct photons and heavy quarks at the LHC is presented. Predictions for the nuclear modification factor to the cross-section at ALICE are shown. It is demonstrated that this process is a great probe of the gluon and heavy quark nuclear PDFs, as over 80 % of its nPDF dependence at NLO comes from those nPDFs. Therefore measurements of this process will provide an excellent constraint on the gluon nPDF, and will distinguish between different nPDF sets currently out on the market.

We study the phenomenon of transverse momentum broadening for a high-$p_T$ parton propagating through a weakly-coupled quark-gluon plasma undergoing boost-invariant longitudinal expansion. We propose a boost-invariant description for this phenomenon, in which the broadening refers to the angular variables $\eta$ (the pseudo-rapidity) and $\phi$ (the azimuthal angle). The jet quenching parameter $\hat{q}$ which enters this description depends upon the proper time alone. We furthermore consider radiative corrections to $\hat q$. As in the case of a static medium, we find potentially large corrections enhanced by a double logarithm. But unlike for the static medium, these corrections are now local in time: they depend upon the local (proper) time characterizing the expansion, and not upon the overall path length. We resum such corrections to all orders into a renormalized jet quenching parameter. The main effect of this resummation is to slow down the decrease of $\hat q$ with increasing proper time.

We present the first theoretical investigation of Fox-Wolfram moments (FWMs) for multi-jet production in relativistic heavy ion collisions. In this work, jet productions in p+p collisions are computed with a Monte Carlo event generator SHERPA, while the Linear Boltzmann Transport model is utilized to simulate the multiple scattering of energetic partons in the hot and dense QCD matter. The event-normalized distributions of the lower-order FWM, $H_1^T$ in p+p and Pb+Pb collisions are calculated. It is found that for events with jet number $n_\text{jet} = 2$ the $H_1^T$ distribution in Pb+Pb is suppressed at small $H_1^T$ while enhanced at large $H_1^T$ region as compared to p+p. For events with $n_\text{jet}>2$, the jet number reduction effect due to jet quenching in the QGP decreases the $H_1^T$ distribution at large $H_1^T$ in Pb+Pb relative to p+p. The medium modification of the Fox-Wolfram moment $H_1^T$ for events with $n_\text{jet}\ge 2$ are also presented, which resemble those of events with $n_\text{jet} = 2$. Its reason is revealed through the relative contribution fractions of events with different final-state jet numbers to $H_1^T$.

Using the quark-diquark approximation in the framework of Buchm\" uller-Tye potential model, we investigate the spectroscopy of doubly charmed baryons: $\Xi_{cc}^{++}$ and $\Xi_{cc}^{+}$. Our results include the masses, parameters of radial wave functions of states with the different excitations of both diquark and light quark-diquark system. We calculate the values of fine and hyperfine splittings of these levels and discuss some new features, connected to the identity of heavy quarks, in the dynamics of hadronic and radiative transitions between the states of these baryons.

We study in the BFKL approach the total hadronic cross section for the collision of two virtual photons for energies in the range of LEP2 and of future linear colliders. The BFKL resummation is done at the next-to-leading order in the BFKL Green's function; photon impact factors are taken instead at the leading order, but with the inclusion of the subleading terms required by invariance under changes of the renormalization scale and of the BFKL scale $s_0$. We compare our results with previous estimations based on a similar kind of approximation.

In this work, we perform the electroweak phase transition study with the Georgi-Machacek model. We investigate both the one-step and two-step strong first order electroweak phase transition (SFOEWPT). The SFOEWPT viable parameter spaces could be tested by the future 14 TeV LHC, HL-LHC, and ILC. The LHC Higgs signal strength measurements severely bound the SFOEWPT valid parameter spaces, a tinny region of the mixing angle between the neutral fields of the isospin-doublet and isospin-triplet scalars around $\alpha\sim 0$ can allow the two-step SFOEWPT to occur. The triplet vacuum expectation value (VEV) is crucial for both SFOEWPT and related Higgs phenomenology. The two-step SFOEWPT can be distinguished from the one-step SFOEWPT through the triple Higgs coupling searches and the low mass doubly charged Higgs searches at colliders.

The Wino is an $\mathrm{SU}(2)_{L}$ triplet Majorana fermion and a well-motivated dark matter candidate. The mass difference between the charged and the neutral Winos is small thanks to the $\mathrm{SU}(2)_{L}$ symmetry. The small mass difference makes the charged Wino meta-stable, which provides disappearing charged track signatures at collider experiments. The constraint on the Wino dark matter at the LHC strongly depends on the Wino lifetime. We compute the next-to-leading order (NLO) correction of the charged Wino decay and make the most precise estimate of the decay rate. We find that the NLO decay rate is determined by the mass difference and scarcely depend on the Wino mass itself in the heavy Wino limit. As a result, we find the NLO correction gives a minor impact on the lifetime of 2-4% increase.

We consider three body $\Delta s = 1$ $B \to f$ decays with $f=KKK$. The deviations of $-\eta_f S_f$ from $S_{\psi K_S}$ and of $C_f$ from zero can be bounded using the approximate SU(3) flavor symmetry of the strong interactions and branching ratios of various $\Delta s = 0$ modes. We present the most promising SU(3) amplitude relations that can be used to obtain these bounds.

We study the QCD phase structure in the three-flavor Nambu-Jona-Lasinio model, incorporating the interplay between the chiral and diquark condensates induced by the axial anomaly. We demonstrate that for an appropriate range of parameters of the model, the interplay leads to the low temperature critical point in the phase structure predicted by a previous Ginzburg-Landau analysis. We also show that a Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) of diquark molecules emerges in the intermediate density region, and as a result, a BEC-BCS crossover is realized with increasing quark chemical potential.

The role of the time surface term in the ADM Hamiltonian formulation of general relativity is investigated. We show that the variable contained in the time surface term (the scale factor) plays the role of a time-like variable. The conjugated variable represents the energy density in the reduced phase space, where the Schr\"odinger like equation for a wave function is derived. The contribution from the surface term to the phase of the wave function allows us to define {\bf the phase time of the quantum Universe} so that it coincides with {\bf the proper time as an invariant interval} for the classical dust filled Universe. The quantum scenario of the evolution of the Universe filled in by the Weinberg-Salam fields is considered. The wave function of the early Universe as the functional from the Higgs fields and scale factor realizes the unitary irreducible representation of the SO(4,1) group. The elementary particle masses are determined by the angles of the scale--scalar field mixing.

We present an alternative formulation of the left-right symmetric theory where the scalar sector consists of two Higgs doublets which differs from the standard version of the left-right model that makes use of $L-$ and $R-$ Higgs triplets and a Higgs bi-doublet. The basic idea is to consider few extra charged iso-singlet fields and the fermion masses can be realized by integrating out these heavy isosinglet fields. We also give a detailed discussion on neutrinoless double beta decay in this particular left-right symmetric theory where the right-handed Majorana neutrino can be of MeV range. With this right-handed Majorana mass around MeV scale, the contribution to neutrinoless double beta decay coming from the right-handed current can be comparable with the contributions coming from the standard left-handed sector only if the right-handed gauge boson mass is around 5 TeV, and with this operative scale of $W_R$ around few TeV, it is possible to probe at LHC. We have briefly commented on cosmological constraints coming from the big-bang nucleosynthesis and Universe cosmology to the right-handed neutrinos involved in this discussion.

We further compare our results for deep inelastic scattering to a transverse momentum dependent factorization approach, and find consistency between the two approaches in the intermediate transverse momentum region. We also find that in pp collisions, there are only derivative terms contributions, and the non-derivative terms vanish.

Deciphering the complex information contained in jets produced in collider events requires a physical organization of the jet data. We introduce two-particle correlations (2PCs) by pairing individual particles as the initial jet representation from which a probabilistic model can be built. Particle momenta, as well as particle types and vertex information are included in the correlation. A novel, two-particle correlation neural network (2PCNN) architecture is constructed by combining neural network based filters on 2PCs and a deep neural network for capturing jet kinematic information. The 2PCNN is applied to boosted boson and heavy flavor tagging, and it achieves excellent performance by comparing to models based on telescoping deconstruction. Major correlation pairs exploited in the trained models are also identified, which shed light on the physical significance of certain jet substructure.

We establish a relation between the solution of a relativistic bound state equation in quantum mechanics and the field representation of a bound state with the aid of creation and annihilation operators. We show that a bound system can be represented by a gas of free constituents and a classical effective field representing the countless quantum fluctuations generating the binding potential. The distribution function of the internal momenta is given by the projection of the free states on the solution of a relativistic bound state equation in the rest frame of the bound system. In this approach Lorentz covariance, mass-shell constraints and single particle normalizability of the bound state function are simultaneously and explicitly satisfied. The discussion is made for a two particle bound state and can be easily generalized to the case of three or more particles.

We study the process dependence of the Sivers function by considering the impact of color-gauge invariant initial and final state interactions on transverse spin asymmetries in proton-proton reactions within the framework of the transverse momentum dependent (TMD), generalized parton model. To this aim, we consider the azimuthal distribution of leading pions inside a fragmenting jet as well as single inclusive jet asymmetry in polarized proton proton collisions. In contrast to single inclusive pion production, in both cases we can isolate the Sivers contribution and thereby study its process dependence. The predictions for the Sivers asymmetry obtained with and without inclusion of color gauge factors are comparable in size but with opposite signs. We conclude that both processes represent unique opportunities to discriminate among the two approaches and test the universality properties of the Sivers function in hadronic reactions.

We suggest that the decay modes of kaons with a pion and a pionium ($\pi^+\pi^-$ atom) in the final state can constitute a not yet considered background to the very rare decay $K\to\pi\nu\bar\nu$. In fact, a part of pioniums may escape the decay region before decaying into two $\pi^0$s (or to $\pi^0\pi^0\gamma$ in the case of excited pionium). To illustrate the importance of this background, we show that it may even explain, under some assumptions, the unexpected $K_L$ decay events that appeared in the KOTO experiment.

We study grand unified theories based on an SU(5)xSU(5) gauge group in which the GUT scale, M_{GUT}, is the VEV of an exact or approximate modulus, and in which fast proton decay is avoided through a combination of a large triplet mass and small triplet couplings. These features are achieved by discrete symmetries. In many of our models, M_{GUT} is generated naturally by the balance of higher dimension terms that lift the GUT modulus potential, and soft supersymmetry breaking masses. The theories often lead to interesting patterns of quark and lepton masses. We also discuss some distinctions between grand unified theories and string unification.

In this work we assume that neutrinos are Majorana particles and perform a general scan of all finite discrete groups with order less than 1536 to obtain their predictions for lepton mixing angles. To our surprise, the scan of over one million groups only yields 3 interesting groups that give lepton mixing patterns which lie within 3-sigma of the current best global fit values. A systematic way to categorize such groups and the implications for flavor symmetry are discussed.

Two pion effective mass and helicity angle distributions in the charged B-meson decays into three charged pions are studied. The weak decay amplitudes are calculated in the framework of the QCD factorization approximation. The strong interactions between the pairs of pions are taken into account using scalar and vector pion form factors. The scalar form factors are constrained by data on pion-pion, kaon-antikaon and four pion production incorporated into a multichannel model of the coupled amplitudes. The vector form factor is obtained from the Belle Collaboration analysis of the tau- --> pi- pi0 nu_{tau} decays. The theoretical distributions of the dipion effective masses are compared with the corresponding results of the recent Dalitz plot analysis of B+- --> pi+pi-pi+- decays performed by the BABAR Collaboration. We find that the S-wave dipion amplitude, although much smaller than the P-wave amplitude, plays an important role even in the rho(770) mass range. We show that the helicity angle distribution is strongly asymmetric in the rho- meson range. This effect can be attributed to the broad f0(600)(or sigma) meson. The fact that the signal of the B+- --> f0(980) pi+- decay has not been found in the experimental analysis can be easily explained in our model since the relevant B decay amplitude is proportional to the scalar form factor which has a dip at the f0(980) mass. We obtain a unified unitary description of the contribution of the three scalar resonances f0(600), f0(980) and f0(1400) in terms of the pion non-strange scalar form factor.

The scalar form factors are constrained by data on pion-pion, kaon-antikaon and four pion production incorporated into a multichannel model of the coupled amplitudes. The vector form factor is obtained from the Belle Collaboration analysis of the tau- --> pi- pi0 nu_{tau} decays. The theoretical distributions of the dipion effective masses are compared with the corresponding results of the recent Dalitz plot analysis of B+- --> pi+pi-pi+- decays performed by the BABAR Collaboration. We find that the S-wave dipion amplitude, although much smaller than the P-wave amplitude, plays an important role even in the rho(770) mass range. We show that the helicity angle distribution is strongly asymmetric in the rho- meson range. This effect can be attributed to the broad f0(600)(or sigma) meson. The fact that the signal of the B+- --> f0(980) pi+- decay has not been found in the experimental analysis can be easily explained in our model since the relevant B decay amplitude is proportional to the scalar form factor which has a dip at the f0(980) mass. We obtain a unified unitary description of the contribution of the three scalar resonances f0(600), f0(980) and f0(1400) in terms of the pion non-strange scalar form factor.

We present an NLO analysis of the massive vector current correlator at temperatures above a few hundred MeV. The physics of this correlator originates from a transport peak, related to heavy quark diffusion, and from the quark-antiquark threshold, related to quarkonium physics. In the bottom case both can be studied with separate effective theories, but for charm these may not be accurate, so a study within the full theory is needed. Working in imaginary time, the NLO correlator can be computed in unresummed perturbation theory; comparing with lattice data, we find good agreement. Subsequently we inspect how non-perturbative modifications of the transport peak would affect the imaginary-time correlator. The massive NLO quark-number susceptibility is also contrasted with numerical measurement.

We study the impact on the Sun of an exotic energy-loss channel caused by plasmon decay into fermionic minicharged particles with charge $\epsilon e$ and mass $m_f$. We compare solar models with this extra emission to helioseismological and neutrino data, obtaining a bound $\epsilon <2.2\times 10^{-14}\ ({\rm 95\%\, CL})$ for $m_f\lesssim 25 \, \text{eV}$. Our result is comparable to previous limits from the cooling of globular cluster stars, while at the same time it is better understood and takes theoretical and observational errors into account.

We consider a five dimensional SU(2) gauge theory with fermions in the bulk and with additional SU(2) and U(1) kinetic terms on the branes. The electroweak breaking is obtained by boundary conditions. After deconstruction, fermions in the bulk are eliminated by using their equations of motion. In this way Standard Model fermion mass terms and direct couplings to the internal gauge bosons of the moose are generated. The presence of these new couplings gives a new contribution to the epsilon_3 parameter in addition to the gauge boson term. This allows the possibility of a cancellation between the two contributions, which can be local (site by site) or global. Going back to the continuum, we show that the implementation of local cancellation in any generic warped metric leaves massless fermions. This is due to the presence of one horizon on the infrared brane. However we can require a global cancellation of the new physics contributions to the epsilon_3 parameter. This fixes relations among the warp factor and the parameters of the fermion and gauge sectors.

A possibility to measure the spin and spin-spin correlations of a chargino pair is investigated in the process electron positron -> chargino_1 anti-chargino_1 -> (neutralino_1 quark anti-quark) (neutralino_1 quark anti-quark) at future linear-collider energies. The total and the differential cross sections are calculated by the GRACE system which allows for the full spin correlation. Experimental sensitivity of the measurements are examined by assuming the limited detector resolution, the initial state radiation and the beam-beam effect (beamstrahlung). It is found that generally the spin-spin correlation can only be measured with a lower sensitivity than the chargino spin itself. The dependence of the correlation measurements on the relevant SUSY parameters can be seen for a light sneutrino case, but the situation becomes worse for a heavier sneutrino.

In this article, the mass spectra of mesons with one or two heavy quarks and their diquarks partners are estimated within a non-relativistic framework by solving Schr\"odinger equation with an effective potential inspired by a symmetry preserving Poincar\'e covariant vector-vector contact interaction model of quantum chromodynamics. Matrix Numerov method is implemented for this purpose. In our survey of mesons with heavy quarks, we fix the model parameter to the masses of ground-states and then extend our calculations for radial excitations and diquarks. The potential model used in this work gives results which are in good agreement with experimental data and other theoretical calculations.

The light-front (LF) quantization of QCD in light-cone gauge has a number of remarkable advantages, including explicit unitarity, a physical Fock expansion, the absence of ghost degrees of freedom, and the decoupling properties needed to prove factorization theorems in high momentum transfer inclusive and exclusive reactions. We present a systematic study of LF-quantized gauge theory following the Dirac method and construct the Dyson-Wick S-matrix expansion based on LF-time-ordered products. The free theory gauge field is shown to satisfy the Lorentz condition as an operator equation as well as the light-cone gauge condition. Its propagator is found to be transverse with respect to both its four-momentum and the gauge direction. The interaction Hamiltonian of QCD can be expressed in a form resembling that of covariant theory, except for additional instantaneous interactions which can be treated systematically. The renormalization constants in YM theory are shown to satisfy the identity $Z_1=Z_3$ at one loop order. The QCD $\beta$ function computed in the noncovariant light-cone gauge agrees with that known in the conventional framework. Some comments on the relationship of our LF framework, with the doubly transverse gauge propagator, to the analytic effective charge and renormalization scheme defined by the pinch technique, the unitarity relations and the spectral representation are also made. LF quantization thus provides a consistent formulation of gauge theory, despite the fact that the hyperplanes $x^{\pm}=0$ used to impose boundary conditions constitute characteristic surfaces of a hyperbolic partial differential equation.

In addition to conventional flavor-breaking sum rule determinations, information obtainable from mixed tau-electroproduction sum rules having much reduced OPE uncertainties, and from sum rules based on the inclusive strange decay distribution alone, is also considered. Earlier discrepancies with the expectations of 3-family unitarity are found to be reduced, both the switch to D=2 OPE treatments favored by self-consistency tests and the increase in the strange branching fractions playing a role in this reduction.

Formation of topological objects during phase transitions has been discussed extensively in literature. In all these discussions defects and anti-defects form with equal probabilities. In contrast, many physical situations, such as formation of baryons in relativistic heavy-ion collisions at present energies, flux tube formation in superconductors in the presence of external magnetic field, and formation of superfluid vortices in a rotating vessel, require a mechanism which can bias (say) defects over anti-defects. Such a bias can crucially affect defect-anti-defect correlations, apart from its effects on defect density. In this paper we initiate an investigation for the basic mechanism of biased formation of defects. For Skyrmions in 1+1 dimensions, we show that incorporation of a chemical potential term in the effective potential leads to a domain structure where order parameter is spatially varying. We show that this leads to biased formation of Skyrmions.

We present two possible approaches for a realistic study of the reaction and discuss the differences between them.

It has recently been realized that five dimensional theories can be generated dynamically from asymptotically free, QCD-like four dimensional dynamics via ``deconstruction.'' In this paper we generalize this construction to six dimensional theories using a moose mesh with alternating weak and strong gauge groups. A new ingredient is the appearance of self couplings between the higher dimensional components of the gauge fields that appear as a potential for pseudo-Goldstone bosons in the deconstructed picture. We show that, in the limit where the weak gauge couplings are made large, such potentials are generated with appropriate size from finite one loop correction. Our construction has a number of applications, in particular to the constructions of ``little Higgs'' models of electroweak symmetry breaking.

Octant of $\theta_{23}$ in danger with a light sterile neutrino

Present global fits of world neutrino data hint towards non-maximal $\theta_{23}$ with two nearly degenerate solutions, one in the lower octant ($\theta_{23} <\pi/4$), and the other in the higher octant ($\theta_{23} >\pi/4$). This octant ambiguity of $\theta_{23}$ is one of the fundamental issues in the neutrino sector, and its resolution is a crucial goal of next-generation long-baseline (LBL) experiments. In this letter, we address for the first time, the impact of a light eV-scale sterile neutrino towards such a measurement, taking the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE) as a case study. In the so-called 3+1 scheme involving three active and one sterile neutrino, the $\nu_\mu \to \nu_e$ transition probability probed in the LBL experiments acquires a new interference term via active-sterile oscillations. We find that this novel interference term can mimic a swap of the $\theta_{23}$ octant, even if one uses the information from both neutrino and antineutrino channels. As a consequence, the sensitivity to the octant of $\theta_{23}$ can be completely lost and this may have serious implications in our understanding of neutrinos from both the experimental and theoretical perspectives.

In this letter, we address for the first time, the impact of a light eV-scale sterile neutrino towards such a measurement, taking the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE) as a case study. In the so-called 3+1 scheme involving three active and one sterile neutrino, the $\nu_\mu \to \nu_e$ transition probability probed in the LBL experiments acquires a new interference term via active-sterile oscillations. We find that this novel interference term can mimic a swap of the $\theta_{23}$ octant, even if one uses the information from both neutrino and antineutrino channels. As a consequence, the sensitivity to the octant of $\theta_{23}$ can be completely lost and this may have serious implications in our understanding of neutrinos from both the experimental and theoretical perspectives.

The approach taken is based on using the full relativistic $q\bar{q}\to\ga\ga$ amplitude together with a wave function derived from the instantaneous Bethe-Salpeter equation. Momentum space radial wave functions obtained from an earlier fit of the charmonium and upsilon spectra are used to evaluate the necessary integrals.

We accomplish our efforts to obtain predictions for all four-fermion final states of e+ e- annihilation and the corresponding bremsstrahlung reactions which are possible in the framework of the Standard Model. For this purpose we have developed a program EE4FGAMMA. Our predictions are valid for fermions of arbitrary masses and we can obtain results for total cross sections without any collinear cut. Keeping exact fermion masses is of course required for top quark production. We give a detailed phenomenological analysis of fermion mass effects and real photon radiation for all channels of four-fermion production at LEP-II and next linear collider energies.

An eight-component formalism is proposed for the relativistic two-fermion problem. In QED, it extends the applicability of the Dirac equation with hyperfine interaction to the positronium case. The use of exact relativistic two-body kinematics entails a CP-invariant spectrum which is symmetric in the total cms energy. It allows the extension of recent \alpha^6 recoil corrections to the positronium case, and implies new recoil corrections to the fine and hyperfine structures and to the Bethe logarithm.

The probabilistic model of parton distributions, previously developed by one of the authors, is generalized to include the transversity distribution. When interference effects are attributed to quark level only, the intrinsic quark motion produces the transversity, which is about twice as large as the usual polarized distribution. The applicability of such a picture is considered and possible corrections, accounting for interference effects at the parton-hadron transition stage are discussed.

We present a comprehensive analysis of form factors for two light pseudoscalar mesons induced by scalar, vector, and tensor quark operators. The theoretical framework is based on a combination of unitarized chiral perturbation theory and dispersion relations. The low-energy constants in chiral perturbation theory are fixed by a global fit to the available data of the two-meson scattering phase shifts. Each form factor derived from unitarized chiral perturbation theory is improved by iteratively applying a dispersion relation. This study updates the existing results in the literature and explores those that have not been systematically studied previously, in particular the two-meson tensor form factors within unitarized chiral perturbation theory. We also discuss the applications of these form factors as mandatory inputs for low-energy phenomena, such as the semi-leptonic decays $B_s\to \pi^+\pi^-\ell^+\ell^-$ and the $\tau$ lepton decay $\tau\rightarrow\pi^{-}\pi^{0}\nu_{\tau}$, in searches for physics beyond the Standard Model.

The minimal $U(1)_{\rm B-L}$ extension of the Standard Model (B-L-SM) offers an explanation for neutrino mass generation via a seesaw mechanism as well as contains two new physics states such as an extra Higgs boson and a new $Z^\prime$ gauge boson. The emergence of a second Higgs particle as well as a new $Z^\prime$ gauge boson, both linked to the breaking of a local $U(1)_{\rm B-L}$ symmetry, makes the B-L-SM rather constrained by direct searches at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) experiments. We investigate the phenomenological status of the B-L-SM by confronting the new physics predictions with the LHC and electroweak precision data. Taking into account the current bounds from direct LHC searches, we demonstrate that the prediction for the muon $(g-2)_\mu$ anomaly in the B-L-SM yields at most a contribution of approximately $8.9 \times 10^{-12}$ which represents a tension of $3.28$ standard deviations, with the current $1\sigma$ uncertainty, by means of a $Z^\prime$ boson if its mass lies in a range of $6.3$ to $6.5$ TeV, within the reach of future LHC runs. This means that the B-L-SM, with heavy yet allowed $Z^\prime$ boson mass range, in practice does not resolve the tension between the observed anomaly in the muon $(g-2)_\mu$ and the theoretical prediction in the Standard Model. Such a heavy $Z^\prime$ boson also implies that the minimal value for a new Higgs mass is of the order of 400 GeV.

A brief review is given of the effects of CP violation on the direct detection of neutralinos in dark matter detectors. We first summarize the current developments using the cancellation mechanism which allows for the existence of large CP violating phases consistent with experimental limits on the electron and on the neutron electric dipole moments in a broad class of SUSY, string and D brane models. We then discuss their effects on the scattering of neutralinos from quarks and on the event rates. It is found that while CP effects on the event rates can be enormous such effects are reduced significantly with the imposition of the EDM constraints. However, even with the inclusion of the EDM constraints the effects are still very significant and should be included in a precision prediction of event rates in any SUSY, string or D brane model.

The definition of chiral transformations in light-front field theory is very different from the conventional form in equal-time formalism. We study the consistency of chiral transformations and chiral symmetry in light-front QCD and derive a complete new light-front axial-vector current for QCD. The breaking of chiral symmetry in light-front QCD is only associated with helicity flip interaction between quarks and gluons. Remarkably, the new axial-vector current does not contain the pion pole part so that the associate chiral charge smoothly describes pion transitions for various hadronic processes.

Using the effective potential approach for composite operators, we have formulated a general method of calculation of the truly non-perturbative Yang-Mills vacuum energy density (this is, by definition, the Bag constant apart from the sign). It is the main dynamical characteristic of the QCD ground state. Our method allows one to make it free of the perturbative contributions ('contaminations'), by construction. We also perform an actual numerical calculation of the Bag constant for the confining effective charge. Its choice uniquely defines the Bag constant, which becomes free of all the types of the perturbative contributions now, as well as possessing many other desirable properties as colorless, gauge independence, etc. Using further the trace anomaly relation, we develop a general formalism which makes it possible to relate the Bag constant to the gluon condensate not using the weak coupling solution for the corresponding $\beta$ function. Our numerical result for the Bag constant shows a good agreement with other phenomenological estimates of the gluon condensate.

We consider the possibility that dark matter is stabilised by a discrete $Z_2$ symmetry which arises from a subgroup of a $U(1)'$ gauge symmetry, spontaneously broken by integer charged scalars, and under which the chiral quarks and leptons do not carry any charges. A chiral fermion $\chi$ with half-integer charge is odd under the preserved $Z_2$, and hence becomes a stable dark matter candidate, being produced through couplings to right-handed neutrinos with vector-like $U(1)'$ charges, as in the type Ib seesaw mechanism. We calculate the relic abundance in such a low energy effective seesaw model containing few parameters, then consider a high energy renormalisable model with a complete fourth family of vector-like fermions, where the chiral quark and lepton masses arise from a seesaw-like mechanism. With the inclusion of the fourth family, the lightest vector-like quark can contribute to the dark matter production, enlarging the allowed parameter space that we explore.

We consider the possibility that dark matter is stabilised by a discrete $Z_2$ symmetry which arises from a subgroup of a $U(1)'$ gauge symmetry, spontaneously broken by integer charged scalars, and under which the chiral quarks and leptons do not carry any charges. A chiral fermion $\chi$ with half-integer charge is odd under the preserved $Z_2$, and hence becomes a stable dark matter candidate, being produced through couplings to right-handed neutrinos with vector-like $U(1)'$ charges, as in the type Ib seesaw mechanism. We calculate the relic abundance in such a low energy effective seesaw model containing few parameters, then consider a high energy renormalisable model with a complete fourth family of vector-like fermions, where the chiral quark and lepton masses arise from a seesaw-like mechanism. With the inclusion of the fourth family, the lightest vector-like quark can contribute to the dark matter production, enlarging the allowed parameter space that we explore.

Combined Explanation of the $Z\to b\bar b$ Forward-Backward Asymmetry, the Cabibbo Angle Anomaly, $\tau\to\mu\nu\nu$ and $b\to s\ell^+\ell^-$ Data

In this article we propose a simple model which can provide a combined explanation of the $Z\to b\bar b$ forward-backward asymmetry, the Cabibbo Angle Anomaly (CAA), $\tau\to\mu\nu\nu$ and $b\to s\ell^+\ell^-$ data. This model is obtained by extending the Standard Model (SM) by two heavy vector-like quarks (an $SU(2)_L$ doublet (singlet) with hypercharge $-5/6$ (-1/3)), two new scalars (a neutral and a singly charged one) and a gauged $L_\mu-L_\tau$ symmetry. The mixing of the new quarks with the SM ones, after electroweak symmetry breaking, does not only explain $Z\to b\bar b$ data but also generates a lepton flavour universal contribution to $b\to s\ell^+\ell^-$ transitions. Together with the lepton flavour universality violating effect, generated by loop-induced $Z^\prime$ penguins involving the charged scalar and the heavy quarks, it gives an excellent fit to data ($6.1\,\sigma$ better than the SM). Furthermore, the charged scalar (neutral vector) gives a necessarily constructive tree-level (loop) effect in $\mu\to e\nu\nu$ ($\tau\to \mu\nu\nu$), which can naturally account for the CAA (${\rm Br}[\tau\to\mu\nu\nu]/{\rm Br}[\tau\to e\nu\nu]$ and ${\rm Br}[\tau\to\mu\nu\nu]/{\rm Br}[\mu\to e\nu\nu]$).

We study the functional renormalization group flow of a Higgs-Yukawa toy model mimicking the top-Higgs sector of the standard model. This approach allows for treating arbitrary bare couplings. For the class of standard bare potentials of \phi^4-type at a given ultraviolet cut-off, we show that a finite infrared Higgs mass range emerges naturally from the renormalization group flow itself. Higgs masses outside the resulting bounds cannot be connected to any conceivable set of bare parameters in this standard-model \phi^4 class. By contrast, more general bare potentials allow to diminish the lower bound considerably. We identify a simple renormalization group mechanism for this depletion of the lower bound. If active also in the full standard model, Higgs masses smaller than the conventional infrared window do not necessarily require new physics at low scales or give rise to instability problems.

We study the thermodynamic properties of matter at vanishing temperature for non-extreme values of the isospin chemical potential and of the strange quark chemical potential. From the leading order pressure obtained by maximizing the static chiral Lagrangian density we derive a simple expression for the equation of state in the pion condensed phase and in the kaon condensed phase. We find an analytical expression for the maximum of the ratio between the energy density and the Stefan-Boltzmann energy density as well as for the isospin chemical potential at the peak both in good agreement with lattice simulations of quantum chromodynamics. We speculate on the location of the crossover from the Bose-Einstein condensate state to the Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer state by a simple analysis of the thermodynamic properties of the system. For $\mu_I \gtrsim 2 m_\pi$ the leading order chiral perturbation theory breaks down; as an example it underestimates the energy density of the system and leads to a wrong asymptotic behavior.

The tree-level-massless gaugino scenario predicts that the lighter chargino mass is less than m_W and that gluino and lightest neutralino masses are $\lsi 1$ GeV. In this case the dominant decay mode of charginos and non-LSP neutralinos is generically to three jets. The excess of "4j" events with total invariant mass $\sim 105$ GeV observed in LEP running at 130-136 GeV is noted to be consistent with pair production of $\sim 53$ GeV charginos. Data at 161 and 172 GeV from Fall, 1996, cannot conclusively test this hypothesis (because cuts to eliminate $W^+W^-$ background reduce the efficiency significantly) but is suggestive that the signal persists.

In the past five years, there has been considerable research on the collider phenomenology of TeV-scale extra compact dimensions which are universal - i.e. accessible to all the Standard Model fields. We consider in detail a fundamental conceptual issue in the higher-dimensional theory: Since the cross product is only physically meaningful in three spatial dimensions, how do traditional vector formulas involving the cross product or curl operation generalize in the case of universal extra dimensions? For example, is angular momentum physically meaningful, and, if so, how is it related to the position and momentum vectors? We find that if angular velocity, torque, angular momentum, and magnetic field, for example, are regarded as anti-symmetric second-rank tensors instead of pseudovectors, we can construct tensor forms of the standard cross product and curl equations that do generalize to higher dimensions. Although Maxwell's equations have been generalized to extra dimensions in terms of differential forms, we show that our simple technique casts the generalized Maxwell's equations in a form very similar to the standard vector calculus. We also provide direct integrals for the fields in a practical tensor calculus form. We explore the electric and magnetic fields in detail to show that there are no fundamental conceptual problems hidden in the theory - e.g. how the Lorentz force can be meaningfully expressed in terms of the velocity and magnetic field when the traditional cross product and right-hand rule do not apply. Finally, we explore the effects that compactification has on the effective form of Maxwell's equations, which could be useful for direct tests of Coulomb's law.

The role of effective degrees of freedom on the vector and axial-vector susceptibilities and the pion velocity at chiral restoration is analyzed. We consider two possible scenarios, one in which pions are considered to be the only low-lying degrees of freedom -- that we shall refer to as "standard" -- and the other in which pions, vector mesons and constituent quarks (or quasiquarks in short) are the relevant low-lying degrees of freedom -- that we shall refer to as "vector manifestation (VM)." We show at one-loop order in chiral perturbation theory with hidden local symmetry Lagrangian that while in the standard scenario, the pion velocity vanishes at the chiral transition, it instead approaches unity in the VM scenario. If the VM is realized in nature, the chiral phase structure of hadronic matter can be much richer than that in the standard one and the phase transition will be a smooth crossover: Sharp vector and scalar excitations are expected in the vicinity of the critical point. Some indirect indications that lend support to the VM scenario, and in consequence to BR scaling, are discussed.

In particular, we carry out a fit with data fully restricted to the dijet region seeking to minimize the potential impact of power corrections that go beyond dijet configurations. In addition, we parametrize deviations from the dijet power correction in order to add an additional source of uncertainty in the result for $\alpha_s(m_Z)$. We also show that the inclusion of resummation is important to achieve stability with respect to varying the fit region.

Parton propagation in dense nuclear matter results in elastic, inelastic and coherent multiple soft scattering with the in-medium color charges. Such scattering leads to calculable modifications of the hadron production cross section that is evaluated in the framework of the perturbative QCD factorization approach. Final state medium-induced gluon bremsstrahlung is arguably the most efficient way of suppressing large transverse momentum particle production in nucleus-nucleus collisions. The observed hadronic attenuation, known as jet quenching, can be related to the properties of the medium, such as density and temperature, and carries valuable information about the early stages of heavy ion reactions. Non-Abelian energy loss in the quark-gluon plasma can be studied in much greater detail through the modification of the two particle back-to-back correlations. Perturbative calculations give good description of the redistribution of the lost energy in lower transverse momentum particles and predict significant increase of the correlation width of away-side di-hadrons. In contrast, energy loss in cold nuclear matter was found to be small but for large values of Feynman-x is expected to complement the dynamical higher twist shadowing in experimentally observable forward rapidity hadron suppression.

As one of the hypothetical principles in the Standard Model (SM), lepton flavor universality (LFU) should be tested with a precision as high as possible such that the physics violating this principle can be fully examined. The run of $Z$ factory at a future $e^+e^-$ collider such as CEPC or FCC-$ee$ provides a great opportunity to perform this task because of the large statistics and high reconstruction efficiencies for $b$-hadrons at $Z$ pole. In this paper, we present a systematic study on the LFU test in the future $Z$ factories. The goal is three-fold. Firstly, we study the sensitivities of measuring the LFU-violating observables of $b\to c \tau \nu$, $i.e.$, $R_{J/\psi}$, $R_{D_s}$, $R_{D_s^\ast}$ and $R_{\Lambda_c}$, where $\tau$ decays muonically. For this purpose, we develop the strategies for event reconstruction, based on the track information significantly. Secondly, we explore the sensitivity robustness against detector performance and its potential improvement with the message of event shape or beyond the $b$-hadron decays. A picture is drawn on the variation of analysis sensitivities with the detector tracking resolution and soft photon detectability, and the impact of Fox-Wolfram moments is studied on the measurement of relevant flavor events. Finally, we interpret the projected sensitivities in the SM effective field theory, by combining the LFU tests of $b\to c \tau \nu$ and the measurements of $b\to s \tau^+\tau^-$ and $b\to s \bar{\nu} \nu$. We show that the limits on the LFU-violating energy scale can be pushed up to $\sim \mathcal{O} (10)$~TeV for $\lesssim \mathcal O(1)$ Wilson coefficients at Tera-$Z$.

An extremely light ($m_{\phi} \ll 10^{-33} {\rm eV}$), slowly-varying scalar field $\phi $ (quintessence) with a potential energy density as large as 60% of the critical density has been proposed as the origin of the accelerated expansion of the Universe at present. The interaction of this smoothly distributed component with another predominately smooth component, the cosmic neutrino background, is studied. The slow-roll approximation for generic $\phi $ potentials may then be used to obtain a limit on the scalar-neutrino coupling constant, found to be many orders of magnitude more stringent than the limits set by observations of neutrinos from SN 1987A. In addition, if quintessential theory allows for a violation of the equivalence principle in the sector of neutrinos, the current solar neutrino data can probe such a violation at the 10^{-10} level.

Despite extensive searches for an additional neutral massive gauge boson at the LHC, a $Z^\prime$ at the weak scale could still be present if its couplings to the first two generations of quarks are suppressed, in which case the production in hadron colliders relies on tree-level processes in association with heavy flavors or one-loop processes in association with a jet. We consider the low-energy effective theory of a top-philic $Z'$ and present possible UV completions. We clarify theoretical subtleties in evaluating the production of a top-philic $Z'$ at the LHC and examine carefully the treatment of an anomalous $Z'$ current in the low-energy effective theory. Recipes for properly computing the production rate in the $Z'+j$ channel are given. We discuss constraints from colliders and low-energy probes of new physics. As an application, we apply these considerations to models that use a weak-scale $Z'$ to explain possible violations of lepton universality in $B$ meson decays, and show that the future running of a high luminosity LHC can potentially cover much of the remaining parameter space favored by this particular interpretation of the $B$ physics anomaly.

The mass and decay constant of the axial-tensor meson nonets $\rho_2,~\omega_2$ and a missing member and also their first excited states are analyzed by the Thermal QCD sum rules model including QCD condensates up to dimension five. Mass and decay constant values in terms of variations of temperature are very well stable from $T=0$ up to ~$T \cong 120 ~\mathrm{MeV}$. However nearly after these threshold, our numerical analysis indicate that they begin to diminish with increasing temperature. Mass value of these mesons and their first excited states decrease about $(1-13\%)$ compared to vacuum values and $(10-26\%)$ for the decay constants according to PDG data and $(9-26\%)$ and $(2-34\%)$ respectively concerning Regge Trajectory Model in the corresponding Thermal QCD sum rules calculations. The experimental results are already copious, but expected to grow up at ongoing and future heavy-ion experimental programs allowing us to compare our results.

With high-statistics data coming from both RHIC and LHC, the experimentally available selection of hard tomographic probes for the medium created in ultrarelativistic heavy-ion (A-A) collisions is rapidly expanding. Jet-hadron (jet-h) correlation measurements as introduced by the STAR collaboration are a promising avenue to study the structure of highly modified jets in a differential way since the away side correlation can be measured down to very low transverse momenta (P_T) in an essentially hydrodynamical regime. At the same time the geometry bias introduced by the trigger condition ensures that the away side shower has propagated a long distance in the medium. The aim of this paper is to provide a theoretical overview of the observable, discuss similarities and differences to other correlation observables such as hadron-hadron (h-h) and gamma-hadron (gamma-h) correlations and to provide recommendations for future measurements.

We present a compact review of the status of QCD spectral sum rules until 2022. We emphasize the recent progresses for determining the QCD input parameters ($\alpha_s$, running quark masses, quark and gluon condensates) where their correlations have been taken into account. Some selected phenomenological uses of the sum rules in different channels (light and heavy quarks, gluonia/glueballs, hybrids and four-quark states) are briefly reviewed and commented. The estimate of the $1^{-+}$ light hybrid mass is revised which confirms the hybrid nature of the $\pi_1(1600)$ but not the $\pi_1(2050)$.

We investigate under which circumstances one can show the existence of leptonic CP violation with the help of a positive or negative signal in neutrinoless double beta decay. The possibilities of cancellations are investigated for special mass hierarchies and the different solar solutions. The possibility that the mixing angle connected with the solar neutrino problem is smaller or larger than pi/4 is taken into account. The non-maximality of that angle in case of the LMA solution allows to make several useful statements. The four different CP conserving possibilities are analyzed. It is implemented how precisely the oscillation parameters will be known after current and future experiments have taken data. The area in parameter space, in which CP violation has to take place, is largest for the LOW solution and in general larger for the inverse mass scheme.

We explore the phenomenology of Elastically Decoupling Relic (ELDER) dark matter. ELDER is a thermal relic whose present density is determined primarily by the cross-section of its elastic scattering off Standard Model (SM) particles. Assuming that this scattering is mediated by a kinetically mixed dark photon, we argue that the ELDER scenario makes robust predictions for electron-recoil direct-detection experiments, as well as for dark photon searches. These predictions are independent of the details of interactions within the dark sector. Together with the closely related Strongly-Interacting Massive Particle (SIMP) scenario, the ELDER predictions provide a physically motivated, well-defined target region, which will be almost entirely accessible to the next generation of searches for sub-GeV dark matter and dark photons. We provide useful analytic approximations for various quantities of interest in the ELDER scenario, and discuss two simple renormalizable toy models which incorporate the required strong number-changing interactions among the ELDERs, as well as explicitly implement the coupling to electrons via the dark photon portal.
