Compared with data from CDF of $B_s \to \phi \mu^+ \mu^-$, the 1/R tends to be
larger than $350 \mathrm{GeV}$. We also note that the zero crossing point of
the forward-backward asymmetry is become smaller, which will be an important
plat to prob the contribution from the extra dimension model. The results
obtained in this work will be very useful in searching new physics beyond SM.
Moreover, the order of magnitude for branching ratios shows a possibility to

confirmation of the electroweak monopole predicted by the standard model, and
currently MoEDAL at LHC is actively searching for the monopole. However, the
present LHC cannot produce the monopole if the mass is bigger than 7 TeV, while
the monopole mass is expected to be around $M_W/\alpha \simeq 11~\text{TeV}$.
In this paper we discuss how LHC could circumbent this energy constraint and
produce the monopole even when the mass is bigger than 7 TeV, based on the
following ideas. First, in the topological production of the monopole the baby
monopole mass at creation could be considerably smaller than the adolescent
mass. Second, the binding energy of the monopole-antimonopole pair could
effectively reduce the mass of the bound state. We discuss how these ideas can
actually be realized at LHC to produce the monopole pairs. In particular, we
argue that LHC could produce the baby electroweak monopoles whose mass could be
around 5.3 TeV, smaller than the adolescent monopole mass around 11.0 TeV.
Moreover, we show that LHC could produce the monopolium bound state with mass
around 2.5 TeV, even when the total mass of the monopole-antimonopole pair is
around 10.6 TeV. Our analysis could play an important role for MoEDAL

hydrodynamics as a successful non-equilibrium hydrodynamics model for studying
the QGP. For this purpose, I introduce the basic conformal anisotropic
hydrodynamics formalism and then explain the ways we included realistic
features (bulk degree of freedom, quasiparticle implementation of realistic
equation of state, more realistic collisional kernel), to make it a suitable
hydrodynamics model for studying the QGP generated in heavy-ion collisions. For
verification of our model we have compared the evolution of model parameters
predicted by aHydro and vHydro, with exact solution of the Boltzmann equation.
However, the system is not conformal and the aHydro needed to be improved to
include a realistic prescription for the equation of state which takes care of
non-ideal effect in the dynamics. I have then designed a novel method for
implementing the realistic equation of state (provided by lattice QCD) in the
aHydro formalism. This model, called the quasiparticle aHydro model, integrates
the non-conformal effects in the aHydro model. The non-conformal effects are
due to strong interactions of plasma constituents which leads to
temperature-dependence of the particles' effective mass in the system. Based on
the quasiparticle picture, we have developed the quasiparticle aHydro
(aHydroQP) model. We have then compared the phenomenological predictions of the
aHydroQP model with experimental observations. Comparisons illustrate a high
level of consistency between our model and the experimental data. Finally, I
have calculated the quark self-energy in an anisotropic QGP. The quark
self-energy is important because it encodes the way quarks gain interactional
mass while in the hot QGP. I also have presented the calculation of gluon

out of vacuum induced by the rapidly evolving Higgs field, which gets
exponentially enhanced due to the tachyonic instability. Such explosive
particle production can rapidly drain energy away from the Higgs field,
sustaining a significant density of Higgs particles even during inflation, and
could initiate a qualitatively different form of preheating in parts of the

particle energy density into account, which could significantly affect the
subsequent evolution of such systems. This could carry important implications

the cosmic microwave background, gravitational waves, and primordial black
holes, as well as deeper concepts ranging from eternal inflation to the
metastability of the electroweak vacuum.

Model quarks via a light pseudoscalar mediator. We consider separately the
scenarios for which the DM-pseudoscalar coupling is $CP$ conserving or $CP$
violating. We show that taking a contact interaction is not suitable, even when
the mediator has a mass of the same order of magnitude as the typical momentum
transfer at the direct-detection experiments, such that the allowed DAMA region
is excluded or considerably modified by the correct relic density requirement.
The DAMA result seems to indicate that the $CP$-violating interaction is
dominant at direct searches. We find that, if the proton-to-neutron effective
coupling ratio is $-60\sim -40$, the exclusion limits set by SuperCDMS,
XENON100, and LUX are highly suppressed, and the DAMA signal can thus be easily
reconciled with these null measurements. For this model, the allowed region
determined by the DAMA signal and correct relic density can successfully
satisfy the conditions required by the thermal equilibrium, big bang
nucleosynthesis, and DM self-interactions. The results of future measurements
on flavor physics will provide important constraints on the related models.
Precise measurements performed by COUPP, PICASSO, SIMPLE and KIMS should be
able to test this model in the near future.

dimension, which successfully address the hierarchy and flavor problems of
elementary particle physics, can provide an elegant explanation of the 750 GeV
diphoton excess recently reported by ATLAS and CMS. A gauge-singlet bulk scalar
with ${\cal O}(1)$ couplings to fermions is identified as the new resonance
$S$, and the vector-like Kaluza-Klein excitations of the SM quarks and leptons
mediate its loop-induced couplings to photons and gluons. The electroweak gauge
symmetry almost unambiguously dictates the bulk matter content and hence the
hierarchies of the $S\to \gamma\gamma$, $WW$, $ZZ$, $Z\gamma$, $t\bar t$ and
dijet decay rates. We find that the $S\to Z\gamma$ decay mode is strongly
suppressed, such that $\mbox{Br}(S\to
Z\gamma)/\mbox{Br}(S\to\gamma\gamma)<0.1$. The hierarchy problem for the new
scalar boson is solved in analogy with the Higgs boson by localizing it near
the infrared brane. The infinite sums over the Kaluza-Klein towers of fermion
states are finite and can be calculated in closed form with a remarkably simple
result. Reproducing the observed $pp\to S\to\gamma\gamma$ signal requires
Kaluza-Klein masses in the multi-TeV range, consistent with bounds from flavor
physics and electroweak precision observables.
Useful side products of our analysis, which can be adapted to almost any
model for the diphoton resonance, are the calculation of the gluon-fusion
production cross section $\sigma(pp\to S)$ at NNLO in QCD, an exact expression
for the inclusive $S\to gg$ decay rate at N$^3$LO, a study of the $S\to t\bar t
h$ three-body decay and a phenomenological analysis of portal couplings

been shown that finite size effects of colliding protons are important to
consider for a realistic estimate of the cross sections. These first results
have been essential in understanding the physics case of heavy-ion collisions

It can be
populated during a period of eternal inflation without trans-Planckian field
excursions and without flat potentials. This Multiverse can explain the values
of the cosmological constant and of the weak scale. In the process of proving
these statements we derive a few simple, but counter-intuitive results. We show
that it is easy to write models of eternal inflation compatible with the
distance and refined de Sitter conjectures. Secondly, tunneling transitions
that move fields from a lower-energy vacuum to a higher-energy vacuum and
generate baby Universes are possible, and occur during eternal inflation.
Finally, we relax the assumption of no de Sitter minima and show that this more
standard Multiverse can be populated by Coleman-De Luccia transitions in about
100 $e$-folds of inflation.

The decay of a {1,3,5...}^-+ hybrid to eta pi^0, eta' pi^0, eta' eta, eta(1295) pi^0, pi(1300)^0 pi0, eta(1440) pi^0, a_0(980)^0 sigma or f_0(980) sigma is sub-leading, assuming that these final state particles are (hybrid) mesons in the limit of large N_c. |

made of evolving Glasma fields. Given the novelty of the problem, we limit
ourselves to the use of toy heavy quarks with a large, unphysical mass, in
order to implement the kinetic equations for the angular momentum in the
non-relativistic limit. We find that as a consequence of the anisotropy of the
background fields, angular momentum fluctuations are also anisotropic: we
understand this in simple terms relating the fluctuations of the angular
momentum, $L$, to those of linear momentum. While orbital angular momentum
diffuses and develops substantial fluctuations and anisotropies, the spin does
not. Hence, we can identify the fluctuations of $L$ with those of the total
angular momentum $J=L + S$. Therefore, our study suggests that the total
angular momentum of the heavy quarks in the early stage of high energy nuclear
collisions will present anisotropic fluctuations.

values of epsilon_K, Delta M_d, Delta M_s, CP-asymmetry S_{psi K_S} and of
hat{B}_K entering the evaluation of epsilon_K, the future of CMFV in the Delta
F=2 sector depends crucially on the values of |Vcb|, |Vub|, gamma, F_{B_s}
sqrt{hat B_{B_s}} and F_{B_d} sqrt{hat B_{B_d}}. The ratio xi of the latter two
parameters, rather precisely determined from lattice calculations, allows then
together with Delta M_s/Delta M_d and S_{psi K_S} to determine the range of
gamma in the unitarity triangle independently of the value of S(v). Imposing in
addition the constraints from epsilon_K and Delta M_d allows to determine the
favorite CMFV values of |Vcb|, |Vub|, F_{B_s} sqrt{hat B_{B_s}} and F_{B_d}
sqrt{hat B_{B_d}} as functions of S(v) and gamma. The |Vcb|^4 dependence of
epsilon_K allows to determine |Vcb| for a given S(v) and gamma with a higher
precision than it is presently possible using tree-level decays. The same
applies to |Vub|, |Vtd| and |Vts| that are automatically determined as
functions of S(v) and gamma. Typically F_{B_s}sqrt{hat B_{B_s}} and F_{B_d}
sqrt{hat B_{B_d}} have to be significantly lower than their present lattice
values, while |Vcb| has to be significantly higher than its tree-level
determination. The region in the space of these three parameters allowed by
CMFV indicates visible problems in this class of models and hints for the
presence of new sources of flavour violation and/or new local operators in
Delta F=2 data that are strongly suppressed in these models. As a byproduct we
propose to reduce the present uncertainty in the charm contribution toepsilon_K

Finally, we discuss possible extensions of the $\mu\nu$SSM such as the
inclusion in the superpotential of the conventional trilinear lepton-number
