nonlinear Dokshitzer-Gribov-Lipatov-Altarelli-parisi (NLDGLAP) evolution
equation approach at small $x$. For the gluon distribution, the nonlinear
effects are related to the longitudinal structure function. As, the very small
$x$ behavior of the gluon distribution is obtained by solving the Gribov,
Levin, Ryskin, Mueller and Qiu (GLR-MQ) evolution equation with the nonlinear
shadowing term incorporated. We show, the strong rise that is corresponding to
the linear QCD evolution equations, can be tamed by screening effects.
Consequently, the obtained longitudinal structure function shows a tamed growth
at small $x$. We computed the predictions for all detail of the nonlinear
longitudinal structure function in the kinematic range where it has been
measured by $H1$ collaboration and compared with computation Moch, Vermaseren
and Vogt at the second order with input data from MRST QCD fit.

We begin by obtaining the effective in-medium Dirac equation in real time which

heavy scalar we find the novel result that the decay of the scalar into fermion
pairs in the medium leads to damping of the fermionic excitations and their
in-medium propagation as quasiparticles. That is, the fermions acquire a width
due to the decay of the heavier scalar in the medium. We find the damping rate
to lowest order in the Yukawa coupling for arbitrary values of scalar and
fermion masses, temperature and fermion momentum. An all-order expression for
the damping rate in terms of the exact quasiparticle wave functions is
established. A kinetic Boltzmann approach to the relaxation of the fermionic
distribution function confirms the damping of fermionic excitations as a
consequence of the induced decay of heavy scalars in the medium. A
linearization of the Boltzmann equation near equilibrium clearly displays the
relationship between the damping rate of fermionic mean fields and the fermion

indicate striking similarity to heavy ion collisions, no evidence of jet-medium
interactions has been observed till date. We study the effect of jet-medium
interaction on the charge dependent three-particle correlation in high
multiplicity p+Pb collisions at $\sqrt{s_{NN} }$ = 5.02 TeV using EPOS 3 event
generator. The short range component of the three-particle correlation is
dominated by the jet fragmentation and has a unique charge dependence as
observed in the minimum bias p+Au collisions at the RHIC energy. In EPOS 3,
similar pattern has been observed in the lower multiplicity classes of p+Pb
collisions where jet fragmentation plays the dominant role. Interestingly, the
charge dependence of three-particle correlation gets diminished in the higher
multiplicity classes of p+Pb collisions where the jet-medium interactions as
implemented in EPOS 3 plays an important role. The current study can,
therefore, provide possible ways to investigate the jet-medium interaction in
high multiplicity classes of small collision systems at the LHC energies.

] | Although many observations in high multiplicity p+Pb collisions at the LHC indicate striking similarity to heavy ion collisions, no evidence of jet-medium interactions has been observed till date. We study the effect of jet-medium interaction on the charge dependent three-particle correlation in high multiplicity p+Pb collisions at $\sqrt{s_{NN} }$ = 5.02 TeV using EPOS 3 event generator. The short range component of the three-particle correlation is dominated by the jet fragmentation and has a unique charge dependence as observed in the minimum bias p+Au collisions at the RHIC energy. In EPOS 3, similar pattern has been observed in the lower multiplicity classes of p+Pb collisions where jet fragmentation plays the dominant role. Interestingly, the charge dependence of three-particle correlation gets diminished in the higher multiplicity classes of p+Pb collisions where the jet-medium interactions as implemented in EPOS 3 plays an important role. The current study can, therefore, provide possible ways to investigate the jet-medium interaction in high multiplicity classes of small collision systems at the LHC energies. |

being aligned with each other as in the original DCC. This has important
implications concerning the possible detection of the phenomenon. In
particular, the main expected signature of the original DCC, which is used in
most experimental searches, is absent in the unpolarized case. We point out
that the fact that no evidence of DCC formation has been reported so far in

proton--proton (pp) collisions simulated with the PYTHIA8 model. Simulations
are performed with selected values of the collision energy $\sqrt{s}$ and the
Monash tune and the Ropes and Shoving modes of PYTHIA8 to explore whether such
measurements provide useful new information and constraints on mechanisms of
particle production in pp collisions. Charge balance functions are studied
based on mixed pairs of pions, kaons, and protons, whereas baryon balance
functions are computed for mixed low mass strange and non-strange baryons. Both
charge and baryon balance functions of mixed particle pairs feature shapes and
amplitudes that sensitively depend on the particle considered owing largely to
the particle production mechanisms implemented in PYTHIA. The evolution of
balance functions integrals with the longitudinal width of the acceptance are
presented and one finds that sums of such integrals for a given reference
particle obey expected sum rules for both charge and baryon balance functions.
Additionally, both types of balance functions are found to evolve in shape and
amplitude with increasing collision energy $\sqrt{s}$ and the PYTHIA tunes
considered.

] | Mixed species charge and baryon balance functions are computed based on proton--proton (pp) collisions simulated with the PYTHIA8 model. Simulations are performed with selected values of the collision energy $\sqrt{s}$ and the Monash tune and the Ropes and Shoving modes of PYTHIA8 to explore whether such measurements provide useful new information and constraints on mechanisms of particle production in pp collisions. Charge balance functions are studied based on mixed pairs of pions, kaons, and protons, whereas baryon balance functions are computed for mixed low mass strange and non-strange baryons. Both charge and baryon balance functions of mixed particle pairs feature shapes and amplitudes that sensitively depend on the particle considered owing largely to the particle production mechanisms implemented in PYTHIA. The evolution of balance functions integrals with the longitudinal width of the acceptance are presented and one finds that sums of such integrals for a given reference particle obey expected sum rules for both charge and baryon balance functions. Additionally, both types of balance functions are found to evolve in shape and amplitude with increasing collision energy $\sqrt{s}$ and the PYTHIA tunes considered. |

https://phonodark.caltech.edu | null | null | CALT-TH-2020-037 | hep-ph astro-ph.CO | http://arxiv.org/licenses/nonexclusive-distrib/1.0/ | We develop a framework for computing light dark matter direct detection rates
through single phonon and magnon excitations via general effective operators.
Our work generalizes previous calculations focused on spin-independent
interactions involving the total nucleon and electron numbers $N$ (the usual
route to excite phonons) and spin-dependent interactions involving the total
electron spin $S$ (the usual route to excite magnons), leading us to identify
new responses involving the orbital angular momenta $L$, as well as spin-orbit
couplings $L\otimes S$ in the target. All four types of responses can excite
phonons, while couplings to electron's $S$ and $L$ can also excite magnons. We
apply the effective field theory approach to a set of well-motivated
relativistic benchmark models, including (pseudo-)scalar mediated interactions,
and models where dark matter interacts via a multipole moment, such as a dark
electric dipole, magnetic dipole or anapole moment. We find that couplings to
point-like degrees of freedom $N$ and $S$ often dominate dark matter detection
rates, implying that exotic materials with orbital $L$ order or large
spin-orbit couplings $L\otimes S$ are not necessary to have strong reach to a
broad class of DM models. We highlight that phonon based crystal experiments in
active R&D (such as SPICE) will probe light dark matter models well beyond
those having a simple spin-independent interaction, including e.g. models with
dipole and anapole interactions. Lastly, we make publicly available a code,
PhonoDark, which computes single phonon production rates in a wide variety of
materials with the effective field theory framework.

We apply the effective field theory approach to a set of well-motivated relativistic benchmark models, including (pseudo-)scalar mediated interactions, and models where dark matter interacts via a multipole moment, such as a dark electric dipole, magnetic dipole or anapole moment. We find that couplings to point-like degrees of freedom $N$ and $S$ often dominate dark matter detection rates, implying that exotic materials with orbital $L$ order or large spin-orbit couplings $L\otimes S$ are not necessary to have strong reach to a broad class of DM models. We highlight that phonon based crystal experiments in active R&D (such as SPICE) will probe light dark matter models well beyond those having a simple spin-independent interaction, including e.g. models with dipole and anapole interactions. Lastly, we make publicly available a code, PhonoDark, which computes single phonon production rates in a wide variety of materials with the effective field theory framework. |

single Higgs boson production processes $e^-e^+\to Zh$, $e^-e^+\to
\nu\bar{\nu}h$, and $e^-e^+\to e^-e^+h$ in the SM and the GHU model. For the
Higgs strahlung process $e^-e^+\to Zh$, we show that for a parameter region
satisfying the current experimental constraints, a maximum deviation from the
SM is about up to 6% for the center-of-mass energy of the initial electron and
positron $\sqrt{s}=250$ GeV and that from the SM is about up to 20% for
$\sqrt{s}=500$ GeV, depending on the initial polarization of electron and
positron. The deviation from the SM is monotonically increasing with respect to
$\sqrt{s}$ for $\sqrt{s}\lesssim 1$ TeV. By using the Higgs strahlung process,
it is possible to explore up to the region of tens of TeV in terms of the
Kaluza-Klein (KK) mass. We also show that the sign of the bulk mass of a lepton
multiplet in the GHU model can be determined by examining the deviation of the
left-right symmetry of the $e^-e^+\to Zh$ process from the SM. The
contributions to the cross sections of the $e^-e^+\to \nu\bar{\nu}h$ and
$e^-e^+\to e^-e^+h$ processes via the $Z'$ and $W'$ bosons are relatively small
compared to that for $e^-e^+\to Zh$ at least for $\sqrt{s}\leq 1$ TeV. As is
the same as in the SM, the $e^-e^+\to\nu\bar{\nu}h$ process gives a main
contribution to the single Higgs boson production processes for
$\sqrt{s}\gtrsim 500$ GeV, but large deviations from the SM are only observed
on energy scales close to the masses of the first KK gauge bosons or higher.

cross-section and parton-level event generator whose main purpose is to add
transverse momentum resummation to a general class of inclusive processes at
hadron colliders, namely all those which do not involve hadrons or jets in the
measured final state. This documentation refers to the first main version
release, which will form the basis for continued developments, consequently it
only implements the key features of those we plan to ultimately include. This
article acts as a manual for the program; describing in detail its use,
structure, validation and results; whilst also highlighting key aspects of the
resummation formalism applied. It details the two classes of processes so far
included; these are diphoton production and Drell-Yan production.
A main concept behind the development of the tool is that it is a hands-on
white box for the user: significant effort has been made to give the program a
modular structure, making the various parts which comprise it independent of
each other as much as possible and ensuring they are transparently documented,
customizable and, in principle, replaceable with something that may better
serve the users needs.
reSolve is a new C++ program, based on an evolution of the private Fortran
code 2gres, previously used for the calculations in refs. [1] and [2]; it is
also influenced by the DYRes Fortran code of refs. [3] and [4]. This initial
version calculates the low transverse momentum contribution to the fully
differential cross-section for two main categories of processes; the inclusive
production of two photons, and inclusive Drell-Yan production. In all cases
resummation up to Next-to-Next-to-Leading Logarithm (NNLL) is included. We aim
to extend the program to several more processes in the near future. The program
is publicly available on Github.

equal amount of CP asymmetry in another channel or other channels, with an

This method, if applied directly to data, will enable to extract the CP asymmetry information in a model independent way and check to which extend the suggested suppression due to the CPT constraint is verified. |

First, assuming that it is generated by an unspecified source at high
temperatures, we study the effects of non-perturbative $SU(2)_W$ dynamics above
the electroweak scale, in the context of supersymmetric models. We find that
there is a substantial difference with the nonsupersymmetric case with the net
effect of relaxing previous bounds on B and L violating interactions. In
particular supersymmetry allows neutrino masses as large as 10 eV (preferred by
solar neutrino and COBE data and measurable at future neutrino oscillation
experiments). Second, we argue that the existence of a mixed lepton
number-gravitational anomaly in the standard model will induce B-L violating
interactions. These transitions would be catalized by Einstein-Yang-Mills
instantons or sphalerons and could create a primordial B-L asymmetry at Planck
temperatures or lower. Gravity (and the anomaly structure of the standard
model) could then be the ultimate source of the baryon asymmetry. We analyze
the viability of the presently known gravitational instantons and sphalerons to
realize this scenario. (Talk presented by FQ at the Texas/Pascos Conference,

rids the mass' classical corrections of any unphysical divergences, while also
beginning the completion of its full two-loop, quantum corrections.

In this thesis, we work towards the computation of corrections to two quantities, which dictate how jets are quenched by the QGP. The first being the transverse momentum broadening coefficient, which describes how the jet diffuses in transverse momentum space through its interaction with the medium. We focus on the computation of logarithmically enhanced corrections, carefully showing how the thermal scale affects the logarithmic phase space. The second is the asymptotic mass, which can be thought of as a shift in the jet dispersion relation as it undergoes forward scattering with the medium. We complete a matching calculation, which rids the mass' classical corrections of any unphysical divergences, while also beginning the completion of its full two-loop, quantum corrections. |

and B-factories display disagreement with the SM predictions and, remarkably,
these discrepancies are consistent in magnitude and sign with the R_K effect.
Non-standard LNU suggests non-standard lepton flavor violation (LFV) as well,
for example in B -> K l l' and B_s -> l l'. There are good reasons to expect
that the new effects may be larger for generations closer to the third one. In
this case, the B_s -> mu e decay may be the most difficult to reach
experimentally. We propose and study in detail the radiative counterpart of
this decay, namely B_s -> mu e gamma, whereby the chiral-suppression factor is
replaced by a factor of order alpha/pi. A measurement of this mode would be
sensitive to the same physics as the purely leptonic LFV decay and, depending
on experimental efficiencies, it may be more accessible. A realistic
expectation is a factor of two improvement in statistics for either of the
B_{d,s} modes.

searching for fully charmed tetraquarks. Both of them reported the existence of
a peak structure around $7.2~\gev$. In this article, we exhibit the role of the
$\eta_c(2S)\eta_c(2S)$ channel, which is close to this peak position, by
studying the $J/\psi J/\psi $ and $J/\psi \psi^\prime$ invariant mass
distributions for the potential quantum numbers $J^{PC}=0^{++}$ or $2^{++}$ by
considering both the coherence and incoherence with the background
contribution. All these frameworks can describe the experimental data very
well, however with different pole structures. For instance, in the case of
$2^{++}$ description of these structures, there always exists a pole slightly
below the $J/\psi J/\psi$ threshold. For the $0^{++}$ case, a similar pole can
also be found below the $J/\psi J/\psi$ threshold however with a much lower
mass. More importantly, the number of the poles is found to be case-dependent.
For the $0^{++}$ ($2^{++}$) case, the peak structure around $7.2~\gev$ can
(cannot) be produced due to the presence (absence) of the
$\eta_c(2S)\eta_c(2S)$ channel. Although the pole positions are case-dependent,
the relation between the peak structure in the $J/\psi J/\psi$ invariant mass
distribution and the dip structure in the $J/\psi \psi^\prime$ invariant mass
distribution around $7.2~\gev$ is unambiguous. We suggest experimentalists to
detailed scan both the $J/\psi J/\psi$ and the $J/\psi \psi^\prime$ invariant
mass distributions, especially around $7.2~\gev$ to probe the nature of the
third fully charmed state.
