Tolos | In-medium kinetic theory of $D$ mesons and heavy-flavor transport
coefficients | 47 pages, 14 figures. Theoretical foundations largely abridged (we
refer to v1 for details). Extended discussions and added new figures. Results
unmodified. Version published by Physical Review C journal | Physical Review C 105, 025203 (2022) | 10.1103/PhysRevC.105.025203 | null | hep-ph nucl-th | http://arxiv.org/licenses/nonexclusive-distrib/1.0/ | We extend the kinetic theory of $D$ mesons to accommodate thermal and
off-shell effects due to the medium modification of the heavy-meson spectral
functions. From the Kadanoff-Baym approach we derive the off-shell
Fokker-Planck equation which encodes the heavy-flavor transport coefficients.
We analyze the thermal width (damping rate) of $D$ mesons due to their
scattering off light mesons, focusing on new in-medium effects: off-shell
corrections, inelastic channels, and the contribution of the Landau cut. We
obtain that the latter effect (absent for vacuum scattering amplitudes) brings
sizable corrections at moderate temperatures. We discuss how the heavy-flavor
transport coefficients, like the drag and diffusion coefficients, are modified
in matter. We find that the $D$-meson spatial diffusion coefficient matches
smoothly to the latest results of lattice-QCD calculations and Bayesian
analyses at higher temperatures.

regularization is employed to study the structure of nonstrange quark stars.
The coupling constant of four-fermion interaction in the conventional NJL model
is modified as $G=G_1+G_2\langle\bar{\psi}\psi\rangle$ to highlight the
feedback of quark propagator to gluon propagator. To study the dependence of
the equation of state (EOS) on this modification as well as the vacuum
pressure, we choose nine representative EOSs for comparison. It is found that a
smaller $G_1$ leads to a stiffer EOS, and a higher vacuum pressure (i.e., a
smaller bag constant) yields a softer EOS at low energy density. It is further
shown that the heaviest quark star under this modified NJL model satisfies not
only the recent mass measurement of PSR J0740+6620, but also the radius
constraints from X-ray timing observations. The corresponding tidal
deformability is also in agreement with the observations of GW170817.

The branching ratios of these decay processes are calculated with the flavor SU(3) symmetry. The uncertainties are estimated by considering the SU(3) breaking effect. We find that the decay rates are very tiny in the framework of the Standard Model. We also estimate the sensitivities of the measurements of these rare decays at the future experiments, such as BES-III, super-$B$ and LHC-$b$. |

describe the high energy thresholds (HET), which are hard to handle. We present
a new method according to which the effects of the HET, in any GUT model, can
be described by fewer parameters that are randomly produced from the original
set of the parameters of the model. In this way, regions favoured by the
experimental data are easier to locate, avoiding a detailed and time consuming
exploration of the parameter space, which is multidimensional even in the most
economic unifying schemes. To check the efficiency of this method, we directly
apply it to a SUSY SO(10) GUT model in which the doublet-triplet splitting is
realized through the Dimopoulos-Wilczek mechanism. We show that the demand of
gauge coupling unification, in conjunction with precision data, locates regions
of the parameter space in which values of the strong coupling \astrong are
within the experimental limits, along with a suppressed nucleon decay, mediated
by a higgsino driven dimension five operators, yielding lifetimes that are
comfortably above the current experimental bounds. These regions open up for
values of the SUSY breaking parameters m_0, M_1/2 < 1 TeV being therefore

] | In this work we study the anomalous top quark-gluon couplings Chromoelectric Dipole Moment (CEDM) and Chromomagnetic Dipole Moment (CMDM) in a general THDM with CP violation. We find that this model provides an important contribution from the $Y_{tt}$ Yukawa coupling that needs to be taken into account. The CMDM and CEDM obtained are $-0.03<\Delta\tilde{k} < 0.005}$ and $|\Delta \tilde{d}| < 0.005$, respectively. |

some special clases of input momenta. One special case, considered in this
note, is the so-called `massless limit' in which all four daughter objects
(comprising one invisible particle and one visible system from each `side' of
the event) have zero mass. This note establishes that it is possible to
construct a stable and accurate implementation for evaluating MT2 based on an
analytic expression valid in that massless limit. Although this implementation
is found to have no significant speed improvements over existing evaluation
strategies, it leads to an unexpected by-product: namely a secondary variable,
that is found to be very similar to MT2 for much of its input-space and yet is
much faster to calculate. This is potentially of interest for hardware
applications that require very fast estimation of a mass scale (or QCD
background discriminant) based on a hypothesis of pair production -- as might
be required by a high luminosity trigger for a search for pair production of
new massive states undergoing few subsequent decays (eg di-squark or di-slepton
production). This is an application to which the contransverse mass MCT has
previously been well suited due to its simplicity and ease of evaluation.
Though the new variable requires a quadratic root to be found, it (like MCT)
does not require iteration to compute, and is found to perform better then MCT
in circumstances in which the information from the missing transverse momentum
(which the former retains and the latter discards) is both reliable and useful.

interaction over the last 60 years. First, we briefly outline the early
developments of the theory based on analyticity and unitarity of the S-matrix,
including the derivation and exploration of the Regge trajectories and related
moving cuts. Special attention is paid to the concept of the Pomeron trajectory
introduced for description of total, elastic and diffractive cross sections at
high energies and to the emergence of the dynamics of multi-Pomeron
interactions.The role of large longitudinal distances and color coherent
phenomena for the understanding of inelastic diffraction in hadron-hadron
scattering and deep inelastic scattering is emphasized. The connection of these
phenomena to the cancellation of the contribution of the Glauber approximation
in hadron-nucleus collisions and to the understanding of the Gribov-Glauber
approximation is explained. The presence of different scales in perturbative
QCD due to masses of heavy quarks has led to the emergence of numerous new
phenomena including non-universality of the slopes of Regge trajectories made
of light and heavy quarks and non-universal energy dependence of elastic cross
sections. The application of the perturbative QCD techniques allowed us to
calculate from the first principles the interaction of small transverse size
color singlets with hadrons leading to the development of the quantitative
theory of hard exclusive reactions and to the successful prediction of many
regularities in hard large mass diffraction. It also led to the prediction of
the phenomenon of complete transparency of nuclear matter in QCD in special
processes. The conflict of perturbative QCD with probability conservation for
high energy processes of virtual photon-nucleon scattering is explained. Some
properties of the new QCD regime are outlined.

CGPP. Our results show that, in the computation of the final abundance, CGPP

the standard semiclassical approximation which assumes that the evaporation
process is self-similar. Quantum effects such as memory burden take the
evaporation process out of the semiclassical regime latest by half-decay time.
What happens beyond this time is currently not known. However, theoretical
evidence based on prototype models indicates that the evaporation slows down
thereby extending the lifetime of a black hole. This modifies the mass ranges
constrained, in particular, by BBN and CMB spectral distortions. We show that
previous constraints are largely relaxed when the PBH lifetime is extended,
making it possible for PBHs to constitute all of DM in previously excluded mass
ranges. In particular, this is the case for PBHs lighter than $10^9$g which
enter the memory burden stage before BBN and are still present today as DM.

We study this behavior for a range of condensate values and find that the variation in the position of the critical end-point is more pronounced as the condensate is increased. |

The problem of extrapolation to realistic value $N_c=3$ is noted, based on explicit calculations and comparison of rigid rotator and rigid oscillator variants of the model. Some features of exotic baryon spectra ($\{\bar{10}\}, \{27\}$-and $\{35\}$-plets of baryons) obtained in the chiral soliton approach can be understood in terms of simplified quark $(4q\bar{q})$ wave functions. The effective mass of strange antiquark in different SU(3) multiplets of pentaquarks should depend on the particular multiplet, to link the predictions of soliton and quark models.

we consider the $D^*K$ hadron loop effect on the ${}^3P_1$ and ${}^1P_1$

system, from which we can extract the poles as well as the mixing angles.
Through this method, we simultaneously determine the masses, widths and mixing

Version accepted for publication in PLB | Phys.Lett.B756:247-253,2016 | 10.1016/j.physletb.2016.03.009 | null | hep-ph | http://arxiv.org/licenses/nonexclusive-distrib/1.0/ | Today it is widely believed that $s$-channel excitation of an on-shell~$W$
boson, commonly known as the Glashow resonance, can be initiated in matter only
by the electron antineutrino in the process $\bar\nu_ee^-\rightarrow W^-$ at
the laboratory energy around~6.3~PeV. In this paper we argue that the Glashow
resonance within the Standard Model also occurs in neutrino--nucleus
collisions. The main conclusions are as follows. 1)~The Glashow resonance can
be excited by both~neutrinos and~antineutrinos of all the three flavors
scattering in the Coulomb field of a nucleus. 2)~The Glashow resonance in a
neutrino--nucleus reaction does not manifest itself as a Breit--Wigner-like
peak in the cross section but the latter exhibits instead a slow
logarithmic-law growth with the neutrino energy. The resonance turns thus out
to be hidden. 3)~More than~$98\%$ of~$W$ bosons produced in the sub-PeV region
in neutrino-initiated reactions in water/ice will be from the Glashow
resonance. 4)~The vast majority of the Glashow resonance events in a neutrino
detector is expected at energies from a few TeV to a few tens of TeV, being
mostly initiated by the conventional atmospheric neutrinos dominant in this
energy range. Calculations of the cross sections for Glashow resonance
excitation on the oxygen nucleus as well as on the proton are carried out in
detail. The results of this paper can be useful for studies of neutrino
interactions at large volume water/ice neutrino detectors. For example, in the
IceCube detector one can expect~0.3 Glashow resonance events with shower-like
topologies and the deposited energies above~$300~\text{TeV}$ per year. It is
therefore likely already to have at least one Glashow resonance event in the

] | We analyze constraints on the anomalous $Wtb$ couplings from $B$-physics experiments, performing a correlated analysis and allowing all anomalous couplings to differ simultaneously from their Standard-Model (SM) values. The $B$-physics observables allow one to probe three linear combinations out of the four anomalous couplings, which parameterize the $Wtb$ vertex under the assumption that the SM symmetries remain the symmetries of the effective theory. The constraints in this work are obtained by taking into account the following $B$-physics observables: the $\bar B^0-B^0$ oscillations, the leptonic $B\to \mu^+\mu^-$ decays, the inclusive radiative $B\to X_s\gamma$ decays, and the differential branching fractions in the semileptonic inclusive $B\to X_s \mu^+ \mu^-$ and exclusive $B\to (K,K^*)\mu^+\mu^-$ decays at small $q^2$, $q$ the momentum of the $\mu^+\mu^-$ pair.

from decay. Although its realization does not require supersymmetry, it is
particularly appealing in the supersymmetry as an alternative to the popular
R-parity. We discuss the issues in gauging B3, and present the minimal
supersymmetric model with B3 as the remnant discrete symmetry of a TeV scale
U(1) gauge symmetry. A flavor-dependent U(1) charge is necessary to achieve
this, and it results in very distinguishable and flavorful predictions for the
LHC experiments. We find a complementarity between a 2-lepton sneutrino
resonance and a 4-lepton Z' resonance in the supersymmetry search. In addition,
we introduce baryon tetrality (B4), which would play an equivalent role if
there are four fermion generations.

thermal relic of the early Universe, then its total self-annihilation cross
section is revealed by its present-day mass density. The canonical thermally
averaged cross section for a generic WIMP is usually stated as 3*10^-26
cm^3s^-1, with unspecified uncertainty, and taken to be independent of WIMP
mass. Recent searches for annihilation products of DM annihilation have just
reached the sensitivity to exclude this canonical cross section for 100%
branching ratio to certain final states and small WIMP masses. The ultimate
goal is to probe all kinematically allowed final states as a function of mass
and, if all states are adequately excluded, set a lower limit to the WIMP mass.
Probing the low-mass region is further motivated due to recent hints for a
light WIMP in direct and indirect searches. We revisit the thermal relic
abundance calculation for a generic WIMP and show that the required cross
section can be calculated precisely. It varies significantly with mass at
masses below 10 GeV, reaching a maximum of 5.2*10^-26 cm^3s^-1 at masses around
0.3 GeV, and is 2.2*10^-26 cm^3s^-1 with feeble mass-dependence for masses
above 10 GeV. These results, which differ significantly from the canonical
value and have not been taken into account in searches for annihilation
products from generic WIMPs, have a noticeable impact on the interpretation of
present limits from Fermi-LAT and WMAP+ACT.
