April 2016, DESY Hamburg, Germany | null | null | null | hep-ph | http://arxiv.org/licenses/nonexclusive-distrib/1.0/ | We discuss exclusive central diffractive production of $\pi^{+} \pi^{-}$ in
proton-(anti)proton collisions at high energies. Based on a tensor pomeron
model we present results of the purely diffractive dipion continuum, the scalar
$f_{0}(500)$, $f_{0}(980)$ and tensor $f_{2}(1270)$ resonances decaying into
the $\pi^{+} \pi^{-}$ pairs as well as the photoproduction mechanism
($\rho^{0}$, Drell-S\"oding). We discuss how two pomerons couple to the tensor
meson $f_{2}(1270)$ and the interference effects of resonance and dipion
continuum contributions. The theoretical results are compared with existing
STAR, CDF, and CMS experimental data. Predictions for planned or being carried
out experiments (ALICE, ATLAS) are presented. We find that the relative
contribution of resonant $f_2(1270)$ and dipion continuum strongly depend on
the cut on proton transverse momenta (or four-momentum transfer squared
$t_{1,2}$) which may explain some controversial observations made by different
ISR experiments in the past. The cuts may play then the role of a $\pi \pi$
resonance filter.

upper limits on the lepton-flavor-violating coupling that are at the level of

the level of $|g_{ae\mu}| \lesssim 10^{-11}$, competitive with laboratory
limits. Interestingly, our derivation of the axion emissivity reveals that
axion emission via the lepton-flavor-violating coupling is suppressed relative
to the familiar lepton-flavor-preserving channels by the square of the plasma
temperature to muon mass ratio, which is responsible for the relatively weaker

requires strong dependence of the effective $\bar{s}$ mass on particular SU(3)
multiplet. The SU(3) configuration mixing is important, it pushes the spectrum
towards the simplistic model (with equal masses of the strange quark and
antiquark), and explanation of this nice property is lacking still. The success
of the CSA in describing many properties of baryons and light nuclei
(hypernuclei) means that predictions of pentaquark states should be considered
seriously. Existence of PQ by itself is without any doubt, although very narrow
PQ may not exist. Wide, even very wide PQ should exist, therefore, searches for

channels. Such signal suffers from overwhelming QCD background, and derives
most sensitivity from the $Vh$ associated production channel. In addition,
sensitivity to a possible CP complex term of $y_c$ is lost. We study the $ch$
associated production channel at the HL-LHC and FCC to probe the charm Yukawa

machine learning techniques to separate the different contributions,
sensitivity on possible deviation from a standard model charm Yukawa coupling
is derived. Under the $\kappa$ framework, a 1$\sigma$ projected bounds of
$\kappa_c < 5.62$ (HL-LHC) and $-1.52 < \kappa_c < 1.62$ (FCC) are achieved.
When further allowing for CP-structure for the charm Yukawa, and comparing with
other complementary hadron collider signals, we reach projected bounds on the
CP-odd and CP-even components of the charm Yukawa of $-2.46 < \tilde{\kappa_c}

instability that is related to the fluctuations of the Nambu-Goldstone bosonic
fields. While the latter may induce a single-plane-wave LOFF state, the Higgs
instability favors spatial inhomogeneity and cannot be removed without a long
range force. In the case of the g2SC state the Higgs instability can only be
partially removed by the electric Coulomb energy. But this does not exclude the
possibility that it can be completely removed in other exotic states such as
the gCFL state.

] | In this letter we explore the Higgs instability in the gapless superfluid/superconducting phase. This is in addition to the (chromo)magnetic instability that is related to the fluctuations of the Nambu-Goldstone bosonic fields. While the latter may induce a single-plane-wave LOFF state, the Higgs instability favors spatial inhomogeneity and cannot be removed without a long range force. In the case of the g2SC state the Higgs instability can only be partially removed by the electric Coulomb energy. But this does not exclude the possibility that it can be completely removed in other exotic states such as the gCFL state. |

Journal version, references added | null | 10.1007/JHEP03(2016)103 | null | hep-ph | http://arxiv.org/licenses/nonexclusive-distrib/1.0/ | We propose a simple model of split supersymmetry from gauge mediation. This
model features gauginos that are parametrically a loop factor lighter than
scalars, accommodates a Higgs boson mass of 125 GeV, and incorporates a simple
solution to the $\mu-b_\mu$ problem. The gaugino mass suppression can be
understood as resulting from collective symmetry breaking. Imposing collider
bounds on $\mu$ and requiring viable electroweak symmetry breaking implies
small $a$-terms and small $\tan \beta$ -- the stop mass ranges from $10^5$ to
$10^8 \mbox{ GeV}$. In contrast with models with anomaly + gravity mediation
(which also predict a one-loop loop suppression for gaugino masses), our gauge
mediated scenario predicts aligned squark masses and a gravitino LSP. Gluinos,
electroweakinos and Higgsinos can be accessible at the LHC and/or future
colliders for a wide region of the allowed parameter space.

discuss the generalisation towards higher orders in perturbation theory and
show how the matrix element method can be used at next-to-leading order for
arbitrary infrared-safe jet algorithms. We discuss three variants at
next-to-leading order. The first two variants work at the level of the jet
momenta. The first variant adheres to strict fixed-order in perturbation
theory. We present a method for the required integration over the radiation
phase space. The second variant is inspired by the POWHEG method and works as
the first variant at the level of the jet momenta. The third variant is a more
exclusive POWHEG version. Here we resolve exactly one jet into two sub-jets. If
the two sub-jets are resolved above a scale $p_\bot^{\mathrm{min}}$, the
likelihood is computed from the POWHEG-modified real emission part, otherwise
it is given by the POWHEG-modified virtual part.

] | The matrix element method usually employs leading-order matrix elements. We discuss the generalisation towards higher orders in perturbation theory and show how the matrix element method can be used at next-to-leading order for arbitrary infrared-safe jet algorithms. We discuss three variants at next-to-leading order. The first two variants work at the level of the jet momenta. The first variant adheres to strict fixed-order in perturbation theory. We present a method for the required integration over the radiation phase space. The second variant is inspired by the POWHEG method and works as the first variant at the level of the jet momenta. The third variant is a more exclusive POWHEG version. Here we resolve exactly one jet into two sub-jets. If the two sub-jets are resolved above a scale $p_\bot^{\mathrm{min}}$, the likelihood is computed from the POWHEG-modified real emission part, otherwise it is given by the POWHEG-modified virtual part. |

We incorporate heavy quark mass effects by changing the initial condition of
the leading-order DGLAP evolution equation. In a certain kinematical limit, we
recover the logarithmic terms of the next-to-leading order heavy quark effects
obtained in the previous work. This method enables us to resum the large
logarithmic terms due to heavy quark mass effects on the parton distributions

relatively pure gluino sample at the (high luminosity) LHC and show that in the
RNS model with very heavy squarks, the gluino signal will be accessible for
$m_{{\tilde g}} < 2400 \ (2800)$ GeV for an integrated luminosity of 300 (3000)
fb$^{-1}$. We also show that the measurement of the rate of gluino events in
the clean sample mentioned above allows for a determination of $m_{{\tilde g}}$
with a statistical precision of $2.5-5\%$ (depending on the integrated
luminosity and the gluino mass) over the range of gluino masses where a
$5\sigma$ discovery is possible at the LHC.

] | Radiatively-driven natural SUSY (RNS) models enjoy electroweak naturalness at the $10\%$ level while respecting LHC sparticle and Higgs mass constraints. Gluino and top squark masses can range up to several TeV (with other squarks even heavier) but a set of light Higgsinos are required with mass not too far above $m_h\sim 125$ GeV. Within the RNS framework, gluinos dominantly decay via ${\tilde g} \to t{\tilde t}_1^{*},\ \bar{t}{\tilde t}_1 \to t\bar{t}{\widetilde Z}_{1,2}$ or $t\bar{b}{\widetilde W}_1^-+c.c.$, where the decay products of the higgsino-like ${\widetilde W}_1$ and ${\widetilde Z}_2$ are very soft.

Here, we investigate possible theoretical explanations, including proton
structure effects and small modifications of the vacuum polarization potential.
In particular, we investigate a conceivable small modification of the spectral
function of vacuum polarization in between the electron and muon energy scales
due to a virtual millicharged particle and due to an unstable vector boson
originating from a hidden sector of an extended standard model. We find that a
virtual millicharged particle which could explain the muonic Lamb shift
discrepancy alters theoretical predictions for the muon anomalous magnetic
moment by many standard deviations and therefore is in conflict with
experiment. Also, we find no parameterizations of an unstable virtual vector
boson which could simultaneously explain both "muonic" discrepancies without
significantly altering theoretical predictions for electronic hydrogen, where
theory and experiment currently are in excellent agreement. A process-dependent
correction involving electron screening is evaluated to have the right sign and
order-of-magnitude to explain the observed effect in muonic hydrogen.
Additional experimental evidence from light muonic atoms and ions is needed in
order to reach further clarification.

also a momentum space model based on the asymptotic solutions of the BK

the opposite direction and is stronger, it makes the colliding nuclei more

nuclei the effective scale is shifted upwards, what leads to an increase of the

Model and Topological Defects | 29 pages, 13 figures, 6 Tables | null | null | null | hep-ph | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ | In this study, we investigated the impact of a topological defect on the
properties of heavy quarkonia using the extended Cornell potential. We solved
the fractional radial Schrodinger equation (SE) using the extended
Nikorov-Uvarov (ENU) method to obtain the eigen energy, which allowed us to
calculate the masses of charmonium and bottomonium. One significant observation
was the splitting between np and nd states, which we attributed to the presence
of the topological defect. We discovered that the excited states were divided
into components corresponding to 2l + 1, indicating that the gravity field
induced by the topological defect interacts with energy levels in a manner
similar to the Zeeman effect caused by a magnetic field. Additionally, we
derived the wave function and calculated the root mean radii for charmonium and
bottomonium. A comparison with classical models was performed, resulting in
better results being obtained. Furthermore, we investigated the thermodynamic
properties of charmonium and bottomonium, determining quantities such as
energy, partition function, free energy, mean energy, and specific heat for
p-states. The obtained results were found to be consistent with experimental
data and previous works. In conclusion, the fractional model used in this work
proved essential in understanding the various properties and behaviors of heavy
quarkonia in the presence of topological defects.

first-principle lattice QCD simulations at nonzero isospin density, is used to
evaluate cosmic trajectories at various values of electron, muon, and tau
lepton asymmetries that satisfy the available constraints on the total lepton
asymmetry. The cosmic trajectory can pass through the pion condensed phase if
the combined electron and muon asymmetry is sufficiently large: $|l_e +
l_{\mu}| \gtrsim 0.1$, with little sensitivity to the difference $l_e - l_\mu$
between the individual flavor asymmetries. Future constraints on the values of
the individual lepton flavor asymmetries will thus be able to either confirm or
rule out the condensation of pions during the cosmic QCD epoch. We demonstrate
that the pion condensed phase leaves an imprint both on the spectrum of
primordial gravitational waves and on the mass distribution of primordial black
holes at the QCD scale e.g. the black hole binary of recent LIGO event GW190521
can be formed in that phase.

peaked around some non-zero value of $<\phi(0)>$, and characterized by a single
particle Bose-Einstein distribution function at a given temperature. We compute
the evolution of the system using three different approximations: Hartree, BVA
and a related 2PI-1/N expansion, as a function of coupling strength and initial
temperature. In the Hartree approximation, the static phase diagram shows that
there is a first order phase transition for this system. As we change the
initial starting temperature of the system, we find that the BVA relaxes to a
new final temperature and exhibits a second order phase transition. We find
that the average fields thermalize for arbitrary initial conditions in the BVA,
unlike the behavior exhibited by the Hartree approximation, and we illustrate
how $<\phi(t)>$ and $<\chi(t)>$ depend on the initial temperature and on the
coupling constant. We find that the 2PI-1/N expansion gives dramatically
different results for $<\phi(t)>$.

factorization properties. Such a factorization is up to now only proven, at the
twist 2 level, for a longitudinaly polarized meson. It is crucial to extend our
understanding to the case of transversely polarized vector mesons. As a first
step in this direction, we evaluate the impact factor of the transition gamma*
-> rhoT, which is the relevant part of the amplitude within the

] | Exclusive electroproduction of vector mesons is a crucial way to probe QCD factorization properties. Such a factorization is up to now only proven, at the twist 2 level, for a longitudinaly polarized meson. It is crucial to extend our understanding to the case of transversely polarized vector mesons. As a first step in this direction, we evaluate the impact factor of the transition gamma* -> rhoT, which is the relevant part of the amplitude within the kt-factorization approach valid at large energies, taking into account the twist 3 contributions, coming both from quark antiquark and from quark antiquark gluon correlators. We show that a gauge invariant expression is obtained with the help of QCD equations of motion. |

inclusion of anomalous dimensions in the dual operators that describe glueballs
inspired by the AdS/CFT correspondence. The anomalous dimensions come from well
known semi-classical gauge/string duality analysis showing a dependence with
the logarithm of spin $S$ of the boundary states. We show that these logarithm
anomalous dimensions of the high spin operators combined with the usual HW
model allow us to match the pomeron trajectory and give glueball masses which
are better than that of the original HW and soft wall (SW) models in comparison
with lattice data. We also build up other anomalous HW (AHW) models considering
that the logarithm anomalous dimensions can be approximated by a truncated
series of odd powers of the difference $\sqrt{S}-1/\sqrt{S}$. These models also
fit the pomeron trajectory and produce good glueball masses. Then, we consider
an anomalous dimension which is proportional to $\sqrt{S}$, providing
reasonable results. Finally, we propose an asymptotic linear AHW model which
effective dimensions for high spins operators are of the form
$\Delta=a\sqrt{S}+b$, where $a$ and $b$ are constants to be fixed by comparison
with the soft pomeron trajectory. In this last model, the Regge trajectory is
asymptotically linear even for very high spins ($J\sim 100$) matching the soft
pomeron trajectory accurately and generates glueball masses with deviations
with respect to the lattice data better than the original HW and SW models.
