We show that the $\pi NN$ coupling constant extracted model-independently from $\bar pp$ charge exchange is subject to a systematic correction, and, more importantly, that the strong absorption in the critical region prevents a determination of the coupling constant to high precision using this process. This attenuates the possible conflict with the value determined from the np charge exchange cross sections.

We construct a model in which neutrinos and anti-neutrinos acquire the same mass but slightly different energy dispersion relations.Despite CPT violation, spin-statistics is preserved. We find that leptogenesis can be easily explained within this model, without upsetting the solar, atmospheric and reactor neutrino data. Leptogenesis occurs without lepton number violation and the non-equilibrium condition. We consider only three active Dirac neutrinos, and no new particles or symmetries are introduced.

We perform a model-independent analysis of the magnetic and electric dipole moments of the muon and electron. We give expressions for the dipole moments in terms of operator coefficients of the low-energy effective field theory (LEFT) and the Standard Model effective field theory (SMEFT). We use one-loop renormalization group improved perturbation theory, including the one-loop matching from SMEFT onto LEFT, and one-loop lepton matrix elements of the effective-theory operators. Semileptonic four-fermion operators involving light quarks give sizable non-perturbative contributions to the dipole moments, which are included in our analysis. We find that only a very limited set of the SMEFT operators is able to generate the current deviation of the magnetic moment of the muon from its Standard Model expectation.

Predictions on fluctuations of hadron production properties in central heavy ion collisions are presented. They are based on the Statistical Model of the Early Stage and extend previously published results by considering the strongly intensive measures of fluctuations. In several of the considered cases a significant change in collision energy dependence of calculated quantities as a result of the phase transition is predicted. This provides an opportunity to observe new signals of the onset of deconfinement in heavy ion collisions experiments.

Primordial black holes are a possible component of dark matter, and a most promising way of investigating them is through the product of their Hawking evaporation. As a result of this process, any species lighter than the Hawking temperature is emitted, including possible new particles beyond the Standard Model. These can then be detected in lab-based experiments via their interaction with the Standard Model particles. In a previous work, we have first proposed and studied this scenario in the presence of an interaction between the light new species and nucleons. Here we extend this discussion to include the case of interaction with electrons. We show that the simultaneous presence of primordial black holes and species lighter than about $100$ MeV can be constrained by the measurements of direct detection experiments, such as XENON1T, and water Cherenkov neutrino detectors, such as Super-Kamiokande. Our results provide a complementary and alternative way of investigation with respect to cosmological and collider searches.

Motivated by the new CDF measurement of the $W$ boson mass reported recently which clearly illustrates a large deviation compared to the Standard Model (SM) prediction. In the present paper, we study the Two-Higgs Doublet Model (2HDM) contributions to $M_W$ and its phenomenological implications in the case where the heavy CP-even $H$ is identified as the observed Higgs boson with a mass of $125$ GeV. Taking into account theoretical and all the available experimental constraints as well as the new CDF measurement, we demonstrate that the 2HDM parameter space can provide a large correction which predicts the W mass close to the new CDF $M_W$ measurement. It is found that $M_{H\pm}=M_A$ is excluded and the splitting of the charged Higgs boson with all other states is positive. We also discuss the consequence on the effective mixing angle $\sin^2\theta_{\text{eff}}$ as well as the phenomenological implications on the charged Higgs and CP-odd decays.

In this study, we investigate the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon $(g_\mu-2)$ as reported by Fermilab (FNAL), along with the recent measurement of the $W$-boson mass by the CDF-II collaboration. Both findings show significant deviations from the predictions of the Standard Model (SM), hinting at the possibility of new physics. Our focus is on the Type III two-Higgs-doublet model (2HDM), wherein both Higgs doublets couple with all fermions, leading to the induction of flavour-changing neutral currents (FCNCs) at the tree level. Within this framework, we investigate a lepton-flavour-violating (LFV) scenario, aiming to explain both observed anomalies, while satisfying the up-to-date theoretical and experimental constraints.

We evaluate within the LO DGLAP approximation the dependence on energy of the cross section of the photo(electro)production of vector meson V ($V=J/\psi,...$) in the hard elastic processes off a parton $\gamma^*+g\to V=J/\psi+g$ as the function of momentum transfer $t=(q_{\gamma}-p_V)^2$. We demonstrate that in the limit $-t \ge m_V^2 +Q^2$ the cross section does not contain double logarithmic terms in any order of the DGLAP approximation leading to the energy independent cross section. Thus the energy dependence of cross section $\gamma^*+p\to J/\psi+{\rm rapidity ~gap} +X$ is governed at large $t$ by the gluon distribution within a proton, i.e. it is unambiguously predicted within the DGLAP approximation including the stronger $W_{\gamma N}$ dependence at larger $-t$ . This prediction explains recent HERA data. The calculations which follow perturbative Pomeron logic predict opposite trend of a weaker $W_{\gamma N}$ dependence at larger $t$. We explain that at the HERA energies double logarithmic terms characteristic for DGLAP approximation dominate in the hard processes as the consequence of constraints due to energy-momentum conservation. We give predictions for ultraperipheral hard diffractive processes at the LHC and show that these processes are well suited for looking for the contribution of the single logarithmic terms due to the gluon emission in the multiRegge kinematics. We also comment on the interrelation between energy and $t$ dependence of the cross sections of the hard exclusive processes.

Photon distribution amplitudes up to twist four are calculated within the nonlocal chiral quark model with a simple pole ansatz for momentum dependence of the constituent quark mass. Calculations are performed using modified electromagnetic vector current in order to satisfy Ward identities. Quark condensate and magnetic susceptibility of the QCD vacuum entering definitions of the distribution amplitudes are computed and compared with existing phenomenological estimates. Both real and off-shell photons are considered and relevant form factors are calculated. Our results are analytical up to the numerical solution of certain algebraic equation.

Chiral phase transition for three-flavor $N_f=2+1$ QCD with $m_u=m_d\neq m_s$ is investigated in a modified soft-wall holographic QCD model. Solving temperature dependent chiral condensates from equations of motion of the modified soft-wall model, we extract the quark mass dependence of the order of chiral phase transition in the case of $N_f=2+1$, and the result is in agreement with the "Colombia Plot", which is summarized from lattice simulations and other non-perturbative methods. First order phase transition is observed around the three flavor chiral limit $m_{u/d}=0, m_{s}=0$, while at sufficient large quark masses it turns to be a crossover phase transition. The first order and crossover regions are separated by a second order phase transition line. The second order line is divided into two parts by the $m_{u/d}=m_s$ line, and the $m_s$ dependence of the transition temperature in these two parts are totally contrast, which might indicate that the two parts are governed by different universality classes.

Bounds from the 7 and 8 TeV proton-proton collisions at the LHC on dark matter interactions have been collected and the results interpreted. We review the current status of the Effective Field Theory picture of dark matter interactions with the Standard Model. Currently, LHC experiments have stronger bounds on operators leading to spin-dependent scattering than direct detection experiments, while direct detection probes are more constraining for spin-independent scattering for WIMP masses above a few GeV.

The application of our glueball-qqbar filter to the centrally produced KKbarpi system shows that the f1(1285) and f1(1420) have the same behaviour; namely consistent with the f1(1420) being the partner to the f1(1285) in the 3P1 nonet of axial mesons. We determine a flavour singlet-octet mixing angle of approximately 50 degrees for this nonet and highlight that the existence of the supposed f1(1510) needs confirmation.

We show, first, that problems with the treatment of such contributions affect earlier related analyses and, second, that these problems can be brought under good theoretical control through the use of an alternate analysis strategy. Our results, run up to the n_f=5 regime, correspond to alpha_s(M_Z^2)=0.1187(16), in excellent agreement with the recently updated global fit to electroweak data at the Z scale and other high-scale direct determinations.

We study the case where quantum computing could improve jet clustering by considering two new quantum algorithms that might speed up classical jet clustering algorithms. The first one is a quantum subroutine to compute a Minkowski-based distance between two data points, while the second one consists of a quantum circuit to track the rough maximum into a list of unsorted data. When one or both algorithms are implemented in classical versions of well-known clustering algorithms (K-means, Affinity Propagation and $k_T$-jet) we obtain efficiencies comparable to those of their classical counterparts. Furthermore, in the first two algorithms, an exponential speed up in dimensionality and data length can be achieved when applying the distance or the maximum search algorithm. In the $k_T$ algorithm, a quantum version of the same order as FastJet is achieved.

The $W$ boson mass recently reported by the CDF collaboration shows a deviation from the standard model prediction with an excess at $7\sigma$ level. We investigate two simple extensions of the standard model with an extra $U(1)$ dark sector. One is the $U(1)_x$ extension, where the $U(1)_x$ gauge field mixes with the standard model through gauge kinetic terms. The other is a general $U(1)_{\mathbf{A} Y+\mathbf{B} q}$ extension of the standard model. Fitting various experimental constraints we find the $U(1)_x$ extension with only kinetic mixing can enhance the $W$ boson mass for at most 10~MeV. While the $U(1)_{\mathbf{A} Y+\mathbf{B} q}$ extension can easily generate 77~MeV enhancement of the $W$ boson mass and also offer a viable dark matter candidate with mass ranging from several hundred GeV to TeV, which may be detected by future dark matter direct detection experiments with improved sensitivities.

We perform a new Monte Carlo QCD analysis of pion parton distribution functions, including, for the first time, transverse momentum dependent pion-nucleus Drell-Yan cross sections together with $p_{\rm T}$-integrated Drell-Yan and leading neutron electroproduction data from HERA. We assess the sensitivity of the Monte Carlo fits to kinematic cuts, factorization scale, and parametrization choice, and we discuss the impact of the various datasets on the pion's quark and gluon distributions. This study provides the necessary step towards the simultaneous analysis of collinear and transverse momentum dependent pion distributions and the determination of the pion's three-dimensional structure.

The thermalization of the particles produced in collisions of small size objects can be achieved by quantum entanglement of the partons of the initial state as it was analyzed recently in proton-proton collisions. We extend such study to Pb-Pb collisions and to different multiplicities of proton-proton collisions. We observe that, in all cases, the effective temperature is approximately proportional to the hard scale of the collision. We show that such relation between the thermalization temperature and the hard scale can be explained as a consequence of the clustering of the color sources. The fluctuations on the number of parton states decreases with multiplicity in Pb-Pb collisions as far as the width of the transverse momentum distributions decreases, contrary to the p-p case. We relate these fluctuations to the temperature time fluctuations by means of a Langevin equation for the white noise due to the quench of a hard parton collision.

Martin has proposed a scenario dubbed ``compressed supersymmetry'' (SUSY) where the MSSM is the effective field theory between energy scales M_{\rm weak} and M_{\rm GUT}, but with the GUT scale SU(3) gaugino mass M_3<< M_1 or M_2. As a result, squark and gluino masses are suppressed relative to slepton, chargino and neutralino masses, leading to a compressed sparticle mass spectrum, and where the dark matter relic density in the early universe may be dominantly governed by neutralino annihilation into ttbar pairs via exchange of a light top squark. We explore the dark matter and collider signals expected from compressed SUSY for two distinct model lines with differing assumptions about GUT scale gaugino mass parameters. For dark matter signals, the compressed squark spectrum leads to an enhancement in direct detection rates compared to models with unified gaugino masses. Meanwhile, neutralino halo annihilation rates to gamma rays and anti-matter are also enhanced relative to related scenarios with unified gaugino masses but, depending on the halo dark matter distribution, may yet be below the sensitivity of indirect searches underway. In the case of collider signals, we compare the rates for the potentially dominant decay modes of the stop_1 which may be expected to be produced in cascade decay chains at the LHC: \tst_1\to c\tz_1 and \tst_1\to bW\tz_1. We examine the extent to which multilepton signal rates are reduced when the two-body decay mode dominates. For the model lines that we examine here, the multi-lepton signals, though reduced, still remain observable at the LHC.

We show a new mechanism for baryogenesis where the reheating temperature can be smaller than the electroweak scale. The baryon number symmetry is violated by a dimension nine operator which conserves a baryon parity. A high energy quark from the decay of a heavy particle, $e.g.$ inflaton, modulus or gravitino, undergoes flavor oscillation, and is thermalized due to the scatterings with the ambient thermal plasma. We point out that the baryon asymmetry of our universe can be generated due to the scatterings via the baryon number violating operator. Our scenario can be tested in neutron-antineutron oscillation experiments as well as other terrestrial experiments.

It is obtained that the study of P-odd asymmetries can serve a good test for establishing new physics beyond the SM.

We study the Lepton number violating like-sign dilepton processes $h_1 h_2 \to l^\pm l^{\prime \pm} jj X$ and $h_1 h_2 \to l^\pm l^{\prime \pm} W^\pm X$, mediated by heavy GeV scale Majorana neutrinos. We focus on the resonantly enhanced contributions with a nearly on-mass-shell Majorana neutrino in the s-channel. We study the constraints on like-sign dilepton production at the Tevatron and the LHC on the basis of the existing experimental limits on the masses of heavy neutrinos and their mixings $U_{\alpha N}$ with $\alpha = \nu_{e}, \nu_{\mu}, \nu_{\tau}$. Special attention is paid to the constraints from neutrinoless double beta decay. We note that searches for like-sign $e^{\pm} e^{\pm}$ events at Tevatron and LHC may shed light on CP-violation in neutrino sector. We also discuss the conditions under which it is possible to extract individual constraints on the mixing matrix elements in a model independent way.

Neutrinos can be pseudo-Dirac in nature -- Majorana fermions behaving as Dirac fermions for all practical purposes. In such a scenario, active and sterile neutrinos are quasi-degenerate in mass, and hence oscillations between the two, due to their tiny mass-squared difference $(\delta m^2)$, can develop only over very long baselines. Under this hypothesis, we analyze the neutrino data from SN1987A, and find a mild preference for a non-zero mass-squared difference. The same data can also be used to exclude values of $\delta m^2\sim 10^{-20}{\rm eV}^2$ - the smallest constrained so far. We also discuss how next-generation experiments like the DUNE and Hyper-Kamiokande can probe this scenario for a future galactic supernova.

The upper bound 860 GeV of the cutoff scale in the conventional case can be improved to 1 TeV in the modified expansion case under certain conditions. In the second scenario, we consider the Randall-Sundrum type II model. We show that the lower bound of the five-dimensional Planck scale in this model, which is determined from the validity of Newtonian gravitational potential at small distance, turns out to be crucial in eliminating this model as a viable candidate to satisfy the sphaleron bound; however, again modifying the expansion history by including a non-interacting scalar field at the electroweak scale can then make this model satisfy the sphaleron bound with a certain parameter space.

In this work we present the results obtained measuring the 214Bi spectrum from a 226Ra source with a high purity germanium detector. Our attention was mostly focused on the energy region around the Q-value of 76Ge neutrinoless double-beta decay (2039.006 keV). The results of this measurement are strongly related to the first indication for the neutrinoless double beta decay of 76Ge, given by a recent analysis \cite{Evidence,KK02-PN,KK02-Found,KK-BigArt02} of the data collected during ten years of measurements from the HEIDELBERG-MOSCOW experiment.

The results obtained are compared with the analytical values for the Z\alpha-expansion coefficients. An extrapolation of the all-order numerical results to Z=1 is presented and implications of our calculation for the hydrogen Lamb shift are discussed.

We refine the implementation of ensemble fermions for the electroweak sector of the Standard Model, introduced previously. We consider the behavior of different observables as the size of the ensemble is increased and show that the dynamics converges for ensemble sizes small enough that simulations of the entire electroweak sector become numerically tractable. We apply the method to the computation of the effective preheating temperature during a fast electroweak transition, relevant for Cold Electroweak Baryogenesis. We find that this temperature is never below 20 GeV, and this in combination with the early results convincingly rules out Standard Model CP-violation as the origin of the baryon asymmetry of the Universe.

We propose that the flexibility offered by modern event-generator tuning tools allows for more than just obtaining "best fits" to a collection of data. In particular, we argue that the universality of the underlying physics model can be tested by performing several, mutually independent, optimizations of the generator parameters in different physical regions. For regions in which these optimizations return similar and self-consistent parameter values, the model can be considered universal. Deviations from this behavior can be associated with a breakdown of the modeling, with the nature of the deviations giving clues as to the nature of the breakdown. We apply this procedure to study the energy scaling of a class of minimum-bias models based on multiple parton interactions (MPI) and pT-ordered showers, implemented in the Pythia 6.4 generator. We find that a parameter controlling the strength of color reconnections in the final state is the most important source of non-universality in this model.

We investigate the behavior under Lorentz tranformations of perturbative coefficient functions in a collinear twist-3 formalism relevant for high-energy observables including transverse polarization of hadrons. We argue that those perturbative coefficient functions can, {\it a priori}, acquire quite different yet Lorentz-invariant forms in various frames. This somewhat surprising difference can be traced back to a general dependence of the perturbative coefficient functions on lightcone vectors which are introduced by the twist-3 factorization formulae and which are frame-dependent. One can remove this spurious frame dependence by invoking so-called Lorentz invariance relations (LIRs) between twist-3 parton correlation functions. Some of those relations for twist-3 distribution functions were discussed in the literature before. In this paper we derive the corresponding LIRs for twist-3 fragmentation functions. We explicitly demonstrate that these LIRs remove the lightcone vector dependence by considering transverse spin observables in the single-inclusive production of hadrons in lepton-nucleon collisions, $\ell N\to hX$. With the LIRs in hand, we also show that twist-3 observables in general can be written solely in terms of three-parton correlation functions.

It is well known that, in nuclear collisions, a sizable fraction of the available energy is carried away by baryons. As the baryon number is conserved, the net-baryon $B-\bar{B}$ retains information on the energy-momentum carried by the incoming nuclei. A simple but consistent model for net-baryon production in high energy hadron-hadron, hadron-nucleus and nucleus-nucleus collisions is presented. The basic ingredients of the model are valence string formation based on standard PDFs with QCD evolution and string fragmentation via the Schwinger mechanism. The results of the model are presented and compared with both data and existing models. These results show that a good description of the main features of net-baryon data is possible on the framework of a simplistic model, with the advantage of making the fundamental production mechanisms manifest.

We have performed two analytical pipi phase shift analyses using a Standard amplitude analysis of the CERN data on pi(-)p->pi(-)pi(+)n on polarized target at 17.2 GeV/c and a more recent analysis of the same data using Spin Mixing Mechanism (SMM). There are two solutions for helicity amplitudes labeled (1,1) and (2,2) in the Standard analysis and SpinMixing and S-Matrix in the SMM analysis which are related to the pipi scattering amplitudes. Our first phase shift analysis is an elastic scattering analysis below KKbar threshold. Our second analysis is a joint pipi phase shift analysis of pi(-)pi(+) and pi(0)pi(0) data below 1080 MeV. Our elastic Solution (2,2)1 and elastic Solution SpinMixing 1 for delta^0_S are in a remarkable agreement with the 1997 Cracow Solution Down-flat using the same CERN data on polarized target. Our joint Solution (2,2) and joint Solution SpinMixing are also in a remarkable agreement with the 2002 joint Cracow Solution Down-flat. Solutions elastic (1,1) and joint (1,1) agree with the Cracow Solutions Up-flat and are rejected. Model independent amplitude analyses of measurements of pi(-)p->pi(-)pi(+)n at 17.2 and 1.78 GeV/c and pi(+)n->pi(+)pi(-)p at 5.98 and 11.85 GeV/c reveal evidence for rho^0(770)-f_0(980) spin mixing in the S-wave transversity amplitudes. These transversity amplitudes define single-flip helicity amplitudes which have been related to pipi scattering amplitudes. Our key observation is that the presented and the Cracow solutions are consistent with the evidence for rho^0(770)-f_0(980) spin mixing in the measured transversity amplitudes from which all these phase shifts ultimately arise.

In this study, we investigate the unexpected properties of these nuclei using a spatial propagation model. All nuclei spectra are accurately reproduced and separated into primary and secondary contributions. Our findings include: 1. Primary CR spectra are identical. 2. Our calculations align with AMS-02 results for primary-dominated nuclei within a 10\% difference, but show significant discrepancies for the secondary-dominated nuclei. 3. The primary element abundance is presented for the first time. We anticipate that the DAMPE and future HERD experiments will provide observations of nuclei spectra above TeV energy.

Some methods for the determination and the most precise values of constants of an extended Standard Model, which include the gravitation interaction and massive neutrinos, are presented. Accuracies of constants at different energy scales are compared and the possible manifestations of temporal variations of constants are considered. Theoretical estimations and obtained experimental bounds of variations are listed, that is important as for search of SM generalizations as to account for possible influence on metrological characteristics of measurement standards.

We present low-energy theorems for the calculation of loop amplitudes with external scalar or pseudoscalar Higgs bosons which are light compared to the loop particles. Starting from existing lowest-order versions of these theorems, we show how their applicability may be extended to the two--loop level. To illustrate the usefulness of these theorems, we discuss a number of applications to Higgs production and decay at and beyond the one--loop order.

Motivated by the recent galactic center gamma-ray excess identified in the Fermi-LAT data, we perform a detailed study of QCD fragmentation uncertainties in the modeling of the energy spectra of gamma-rays from Dark-Matter (DM) annihilation. When Dark-Matter particles annihilate to coloured final states, either directly or via decays such as $W^{(*)}\to q\bar{q}'$, photons are produced from a complex sequence of shower, hadronisation and hadron decays. In phenomenological studies, their energy spectra are typically computed using Monte Carlo event generators. These results have however intrinsic uncertainties due to the specific model used and the choice of model parameters, which are difficult to asses and which are typically neglected. We derive a new set of hadronisation parameters (tunes) for the \textsc{Pythia~8.2} Monte Carlo generator from a fit to LEP and SLD data at the $Z$ peak. For the first time, we also derive a conservative set of uncertainties on the shower and hadronisation model parameters. Their impact on the gamma-ray energy spectra is evaluated and discussed for a range of DM masses and annihilation channels. The spectra and their uncertainties are also provided in tabulated form for future use. The fragmentation-parameter uncertainties may be useful for collider studies as well.

We show that FCNC processes are unavoidable for leptoquarks that couple to left handed quarks, and derive new FCNC bounds from neutral meson mixing. Despite being induced only at one loop, these processes lead to significant bounds since the leptoquark contributions do not suffer from GIM cancellations. Studying the implications of these bounds we find that (i) The D-Dbar mixing bound is the first significant FCNC bound from the up sector. Combining it with FCNC bounds from the down sector we arrive at a bound on the first generation couplings. (ii) The K-Kbar and D-Dbar mixings bound g^2/M while all other processes bound g/M. The combined neutral meson mixing bound is therefore dominant for the heavier leptoquarks, and leads to exclusion of large regions in parameter space which were previously allowed.

Numerical results are presented for BNL RHIC-Spin and the approved SLAC fixed-target experiment E161 to assess the feasibility to access the spin-dependent parton distributions in the polarized proton and photon. We point out that data on J/psi production taken by the PHENIX Collaboration in unpolarized proton-proton collisions at RHIC tend to favor the NRQCD factorization hypothesis, while they significantly overshoot the theoretical prediction of the CSM.

Non--strongly interacting supersymmetric particles -- sleptons, charginos, neutral\-inos, and charged Higgs bosons -- are difficult to detect at the Large Hadron Collider. We therefore examine the possibility of producing particles of this type in virtual $\gamma \gamma$ collisions at the LHC. Since photons can be emitted from protons which do not break up in the radiation process, very clean events can be generated, compensating to some extent for the small event numbers. Higher rates are expected, at the expense of stray hadrons, for events in which one or two protons break up.

As an application, we investigate the role of subcritical fluctuations in the electroweak phase transition in the minimal standard model. It is concluded that the universe was in a mixed state of true and false vacua already at the critical temperature.

This class of models can be obtained via compactification of a higher dimensional theory. Allowing for opposite sign gaugino masses and varying m_t within 1 sigma of its current central value yields a variety of gauge-Yukawa unification as well as WMAP compatible neutralino dark matter solutions. They include mixed bino-Higgsino dark matter, stau and gluino coannihilation scenarios, and the A-resonance solution.

An intense, 120 GeV proton beam incident on an extremely long, iron target generates enormous numbers of light-mass particles that also decay within that target. If one of these particles decays to a final state with a hidden gauge boson, or if such a particle is produced as a result of the initial collision, then that weakly interacting, hidden-sector particle may traverse the remainder of the target and be detected downstream through its possible decay to an $e^+e^-$, $\mu^+\mu^-$, or $\pi^+\pi^-$ final state. These conditions can be realized through an extension of the SeaQuest experiment at Fermilab, and in this initial investigation we consider how it can serve as an ultrasensitive probe of hidden vector gauge forces, both Abelian and non-Abelian. A light, weakly coupled hidden sector may well explain the dark matter established through astrophysical observations, and the proposed search can provide tangible evidence for its existence --- or, alternatively, constrain a "sea" of possibilities.

On the basis of our results, we propose the $bb\bar{b}\bar{b} \to B^{+} B^{-} (B^0 \bar{B}^0) (B_s^0 \bar{B}_s^0) \to l^{+} l^{-}+\text{X}$ decays as the most suitable channels to observe the $bb\bar{b}\bar{b}$ tetraquark states, since the calculated two-lepton cross section upper limit, $\simeq 39 $ fb, is so large as to be potentially detectable with the 2018 LHCb sensitivity, paving the way to the observation of the $bb\bar{b}\bar{b}$ tetraquark in the future LHCb upgrade. The $4\mu$ signal for the ground state, $J^{PC}=0^{++}$, is likely to be too small even for the upgraded LHCb, but it may not be hopeless for the $J^{PC}=2^{++}$ fully-bottom state.

We neatly separate, using the Landau gauge, the contribution from the purely nonstandard Higgs sector, from the one due to the interplay of this sector with the standard model. If the nonstandard Higgs sector derives from a new type of near conformal dynamics, the formalism allows to precisely link the intrinsic underlying contribution with the experimentally relevant parameters.

The language and methods of algebraic topology, particularly homotopy theory, have been extensively used in the study of the identification, the classification and the evolution of defects. Topological methods provide the means for the detection of gross features, such as holes in a manifold, and therefore one would clearly anticipate that the defects, if identifiable by such means, to be linked with that kind of configurations. In physical media, however, defects usually manifest themselves in ways which have no distinct and direct association with patterns of topological value along the lines of our previous reference. In this paper we will postulate that the defects do not themselves correspond to topological features. Instead, they are forced to exist in order to redress the violation of physical rules happening as a result of the topological nature of our system. We will, thus, assume that the topology of our system changes with the introduction of defects. Therefore, the relevent to our study topological methods will be applied to a well defined physical system only in the absence of defects.

Non-observation of superpartners of the Standard Model particles at the early runs of the LHC provide strong motivation for an $R$-symmetric minimal supersymmetric Standard Model, or MRSSM. This model also comes with a pair of extra scalars which couple only to superpartners at the tree level. We demonstrate that in the limit when the $U(1)_R$ symmetry is broken, one of these scalars develops all the properties necessary to explain the 750 GeV diphoton resonance recently observed at the LHC, as well as the non-observation of associated signals in other channels. Some confirmatory tests in the upcoming LHC runs are proposed.

The X(3872) seems to be a loosely-bound hadronic molecule whose constituents are two charm mesons. A novel feature of this molecule is that the mass difference of the constituents is close to the mass of a lighter meson that can be exchanged between them, namely the pion. We analyze this feature in a simple model with spin-0 mesons only. Various observables are calculated to next-to-leading order in the interaction strength of the exchanged meson. Renormalization requires summing a geometric series of next-to-leading order corrections. The dependence of observables on the ultraviolet cutoff can be removed by renormalizations of the mass of the heaviest meson, the coupling constant for the contact interaction between the heavy mesons, and short-distance coefficients in the operator product expansion. The next-to-leading order correction has an unphysical infrared divergence at the threshold of the two heavier mesons that can be eliminated by a further resummation that takes into account the nonzero width of the heaviest meson.

The presence of right-handed neutrinos in the type I seesaw mechanism may lead to significant corrections to the RG evolution of the Higgs self-coupling. Compared to the Standard Model case, the Higgs mass window can become narrower, and the cutoff scale become lower. Naively, these effects decrease with decreasing right-handed neutrino mass. However, we point out that the unknown Dirac Yukawa matrix may impact the vacuum stability constraints even in the low scale seesaw case not far away from the electroweak scale, hence much below the canonical seesaw scale of 10^15 GeV. This includes situations in which production of right-handed neutrinos at colliders is possible. We illustrate this within a particular parametrization of the Dirac Yukawas and with explicit low scale seesaw models. We also note the effect of massive neutrinos on the top quark Yukawa coupling, whose high energy value can be increased with respect to the Standard Model case.

In this work, we investigate the hadronic loop contributions to the $\Upsilon(6S) \to \chi_{bJ} \phi~(J=0,1,2)$ along with $\Upsilon(6S) \to \chi_{bJ} \omega~(J=0,1,2)$ transitions. We predict that the branching ratios of $\Upsilon(6S) \to \chi_{b0} \phi$, $\Upsilon(6S) \to \chi_{b1} \phi$ and $\Upsilon(6S) \to \chi_{b2} \phi$ are $(0.68 \sim 4.62) \times 10^{-6}$, $(0.50 \sim 3.43) \times 10^{-6}$ and $(2.22 \sim 15.18) \times 10^{-6}$, respectively and those of $\Upsilon(6S) \to \chi_{b0} \omega$, $\Upsilon(6S) \to \chi_{b1} \omega$ and $\Upsilon(6S) \to \chi_{b2} \omega$ are $(0.15 \sim 2.81) \times 10^{-3}$, $(0.63 \sim 11.68) \times 10^{-3}$ and $(1.08 \sim 20.02) \times 10^{-3}$, respectively. Especially, some typical ratios, which reflect the relative magnitudes of the predicted branching ratios, are given, i.e., for $\Upsilon(6S)\to \chi_{bJ}\phi$ transitions, $\mathcal{R}^\phi_{10}={\mathcal{B}[\Upsilon(6S) \to \chi_{b1} \phi]}/{\mathcal{B}[\Upsilon(6S) \to \chi_{b0} \phi]} \approx 0.74$, $\mathcal{R}^\phi_{20}= {\mathcal{B}[\Upsilon(6S) \to \chi_{b2} \phi]}/{\mathcal{B}[\Upsilon(6S) \to \chi_{b0} \phi]} \approx 3.28$, and $\mathcal{R}^\phi_{21} = {\mathcal{B}[\Upsilon(6S) \to \chi_{b2} \phi]}/{\mathcal{B}[\Upsilon(6S) \to \chi_{b1} \phi]} \approx 4.43$, and for $\Upsilon(6S)\to \chi_{bJ}\omega$ transitions, $\mathcal{R}^\omega_{10}={\mathcal{B}[\Upsilon(6S) \to \chi_{b1} \omega]}/{\mathcal{B}[\Upsilon(6S) \to \chi_{b0} \omega]} \approx 4.11$, $\mathcal{R}^\omega_{20}= {\mathcal{B}[\Upsilon(6S) \to \chi_{b2} \omega]}/{\mathcal{B}[\Upsilon(6S) \to \chi_{b0} \omega]} \approx 7.06$, and $\mathcal{R}^\omega_{21} = {\mathcal{B}[\Upsilon(6S) \to \chi_{b2} \omega]}/{\mathcal{B}[\Upsilon(6S) \to \chi_{b1} \omega]} \approx 1.72$.

We consider the radiative corrections to the impact factors of electron and photon. According to a generalized eikonal representation the e\bar e scattering amplitude at high energies and fixed momentum transfers is proportional to the electron form factor. But we show that this representation is violated due to the presence of non-planar diagrams. One loop correction to the photon impact factor for small virtualities of the exchanged photon is obtained using the known results for the cross section of the e\bar e production at photon-nuclei interactions.

Here we show that a massive spin-3/2 field can hide in the SM spectrum in a way revealing itself only virtually. We study collider signatures and loop effects of this field, and determine its role in Higgs inflation and its potential as Dark Matter. We show that this spin-3/2 field has a rich linear collider phenomenology and motivates consideration of a neutrino-Higgs collider. We also show that study of Higgs inflation, dark matter and dark energy can reveal more about the neutrino and dark sector.

In this paper we show that the mixing between leptoquarks (LQ's) from different $SU(2)_l$ multiplets can generate a non-trivial Majorana mass matrix for neutrinos through one loop self energy diagrams. Such mixing can arise from gauge invariant and renormalizable LQ-Higgs interaction terms after EW symmetry breaking. We use the experimental indication on neutrino oscillation to find constraints on specific combinations of LQ couplings to quark-lepton pairs and to the SM higgs boson. These constraints are compared with the ones from $\pi\to e\bar {\nu}_e$.

Spin transfer in high energy fragmentation process is determined by the hadronization mechanism and spin structure of hadrons.It can be studied by measuring the polarizations of hyperons and/or vector mesons in e+e- annihilation, in the current fragmentation region of polarized deeply inelastic lN-scatterings, and high p_T-jets in polarized pp-collisions.Theoretical calculations have been made using different models.In this talk, I will briefly summarize the main features of the models, the results obtained and the comparison with available data. They can be used for future tests by experiments.

We analyze future direct data matter detection experiments using Effective Field Theory (EFT) operators with light, $\lesssim 100$ MeV mass mediators. We compare the nuclear recoil energy spectra from these operators to the predicted high energy solar neutrino spectrum. A set of operators that generate spectra similar to the neutrino background is identified, however this set is distinct from those that mimic the neutrino background for heavy, $\gtrsim 100$ MeV mass mediators. We outline a general classification scheme based on momentum dependence of the dark matter-nucleus interaction to determine how strong the discovery limit for a given operator saturates in the presence of the neutrino background. Our results highlight the benefit of considering a general theoretical framework regarding dark matter, and motivate continued experimental progress towards lower nuclear recoil energy thresholds.

We propose a one-loop induced neutrino mass model with hidden $U(1)$ gauge symmetry, in which we successfully involve a bosonic dark matter (DM) candidate propagating inside a loop diagram in neutrino mass generation to explain the $e^+e^-$ excess recently reported by the DArk Matter Particle Explorer (DAMPE) experiment. In our scenario dark matter annihilates into four leptons through $Z'$ boson as DM DM $\to Z' Z' (Z' \to \ell^+ \ell^-)$ and $Z'$ decays into leptons via one-loop effect. We then investigate branching ratios of $Z'$ taking into account lepton flavor violations and neutrino oscillation data.

In the covariant description of confinement, one expects the ghost correlations to be infrared enhanced. Assuming ghost dominance, the long-range behavior of gluon and ghost correlations in Landau gauge QCD is determined by one exponent kappa. The gluon propagator is infrared finite (vanishing) for kappa =1/2 (kappa > 1/2) which is still under debate. Here, we study critical exponent and coupling for the infrared conformal behavior from the asymptotic form of the solutions to the Dyson-Schwinger equations in an ultraviolet finite expansion scheme. The value for kappa is directly related to the ghost-gluon vertex. Assuming that it is regular in the infrared, one obtains kappa = 0.595. This value maximizes the critical coupling alpha_c(kappa), yielding alpha_c^max = (4 Pi/Nc) 0.709 approx. 2.97 for Nc=3. For larger kappa the vertex acquires an infrared singularity in the gluon momentum, smaller ones imply infrared singular ghost legs. Variations in alpha_c remain within 5% from kappa = 0.5 to 0.7. Above this range, alpha_c decreases more rapidly with alpha_c -> 0 as kappa -> 1 which sets the upper bound on kappa.

We investigate the potential of LHC resonance searches in leptonic final states to probe the $Z'$ in the minimal $U(1)_{B-L}$ model. Considering the current constraints on the $Z'$ in terms of its mass $m_{Z'}$ and the associated gauge coupling $g_{B-L}$ as well as constraints in the Higgs sector, we analyse the potential of dilepton and four lepton final states for $Z'$ production. This includes Drell-Yan production, Higgs mediated decays and final state radiation processes concentrating only on the ATLAS and CMS detectors at the LHC. We show that the four-lepton final state is sensitive to $m_{Z'}$ as low as 0.25 GeV. Furthermore, setting the Higgs mixing to $\sin\alpha = 0.3$, this final state has a strong sensitivity and it probes regions of parameter space where the $Z'$ is long-lived. We demonstrate the sensitivity at the High Luminosity LHC and comment on the potential of probing displaced vertices due to long-lived $Z'$. Finally, we also comment on the strength of $Z'$ and Higgs mediated heavy neutrino processes by taking into account the constraints derived.

We calculate analytically tree level amplitudes for Higgs production via Weak Bosons Fusion (WBF) and QCD corrections to the Standard Model prediction (SM) by using the helicity spinor formalism. We provide the explicit expression for the amplitude with two gluons emission in the final state together with massless final two quarks. The massive generalization of the Britto-Cachazo-Feng-Witten (BCFW) recursion scheme is applied successfully obtaining compact results which agree with, and overcome in simplicity, the conventional Feynman diagrams approach.

We argue that gluon saturation effects may be visible in Large Hadron Collider (LHC) data. We look at the centrality dependence of the away-side peak of two-particle correlations measured in p-Pb collisions, using both ALICE data at midrapidity, and LHCb data at forward rapidity. Once the collective flow-like signal measured at the near-side peak is removed from the correlation function, the centrality dependence of the away-side peak turns out to be much stronger in the forward region than at midrapidity. We argue that this is a very specific prediction of the saturation framework, and we compare LHCb data to a state-of-the-art calculation within the Color Glass Condensate theory.

The Auger collaboration has observed the number of muons which is higher than its prediction by existing hadronic interaction models. We explain this excess of muons by using Lorentz invariance violation (LIV) in photon sector. As an outcome of Lorentz invariance violation, the dispersion relation of photon gets modified, which we use for the calculation of $\pi^0$ decay width. In the Auger data of primary energy $10^{9.8}<E(\mbox{GeV})<10^{10.2}$, we find that the neutral pion decay width is suppressed in comparison to its standard model (SM) counterpart. As a result, we get a large number of muons explaining the observed muon excess. We consider Planck suppressed LIV at order $\mathcal{O}(p^2/M^2_{\tiny \mbox{Pl}})$ for studying the photon sector, which is in agreement with the current bounds, and not as tightly constrained as LIV at order $\mathcal{O}(p/M_{\tiny \mbox{Pl}})$.

We study infrared (IR) divergences in light front quantum chromodynamics using a coherent state basis in light front time-ordered Hamiltonian perturbation theory. In computation of the S-matrix elements in Hamiltonian formalism, the IR divergences appear in the form of vanishing energy denominators. We consider the process $e^{+}e^{-}\rightarrow 2\; jets$ at $\mathcal{O}(g^{2})$ in strong coupling, construct the coherent state representing the outgoing particles, and explicitly show that the `true' IR divergences cancel to this order when the matrix elements are calculated between coherent states instead of Fock states.

Axion dark matter differentiates the phase velocities of the circular-polarized photons. In this Letter, a scheme to measure the phase difference by using a linear optical cavity is proposed. If the scheme is applied to the Fabry-P\'erot arm of Advanced LIGO-like (Cosmic-Explorer-like) gravitational wave detector, the potential sensitivity to the axion-photon coupling constant, $g_{\text{a}\gamma}$, reaches $g_{\text{a}\gamma} \simeq 8\times10^{-13}$ GeV$^{-1}\, (4 \times 10^{-14}$ GeV$^{-1})$ at the axion mass $m \simeq 3\times 10^{-13}$ eV ($2\times10^{-15}$ eV) and remains at around this sensitivity for 3 orders of magnitude in mass. Furthermore, its sensitivity has a sharp peak reaching $g_{\text{a}\gamma} \simeq 10^{-14}$ GeV$^{-1}$ $(8\times10^{-17}$ GeV$^{-1})$ at $m = 1.563\times10^{-10}$ eV ($1.563\times10^{-11}$ eV).

We study two and three meson decays of the tau lepton within the framework of the Resonance Chiral Theory, that is based on the following properties of QCD: its chiral symmetry in the massless case, its large-N_C limit, and the asymptotic behaviour it demands to the relevant form factors. Most of the couplings in the Lagrangian are determined this way rendering the theory predictive. Our outcomes can be tested thanks to the combination of a very good experimental effort (current and forthcoming, at B- and tau-charm-factories) and the very accurate devoted Monte Carlo generators.

Technical concepts are presented that improve the selfconsistent treatment of vector-mesons in a hot and dense medium. First applications concern an interacting gas of pions and rho mesons. As an extension of earlier studies we thereby include RPA-type vertex corrections and further use dispersion relations in order to calculate the real part of the vector-meson selfenergy. An improved projection method preserves the four transversality of the vector-meson polarisation tensor throughout the selfconsistent calculations, thereby keeping the scheme void of kinematical singularities.

We clarify the derivation of high-energy QCD evolution equations from the fundamental gauge symmetry of QCD. The gauge-fixed classical action of the Color Glass Condensate (CGC) is shown to be invariant under a suitable BRST symmetry, that holds after the separation of the gluon modes into their fast classical (background) part, the soft component and the semifast one, over which the one-step quantum evolution is carried out. The resulting Slavnov-Taylor (ST) identity holds to all orders in perturbation theory and strongly constrains the CGC effective field theory (EFT) arising from the integration of the soft modes. We show that the ST identity guarantees gauge-invariance of the EFT. It also allows to control the dependence on the gauge-fixing choice for the semifast modes (usually the lightcone gauge in explicit computations). The formal properties of the evolution equations valid in different regimes (BKFL, JIMWLK, ...) can be all derived in a unified setting within this algebraic approach.

The thermal plasma in the early universe produced a stochastic gravitational wave (GW) background, which peaks today in the microwave regime and was dubbed the cosmic gravitational microwave background (CGMB). In previous works only single graviton production processes that contribute to the CGMB have been considered. Here we also investigate graviton pair production processes and show that these can lead to a significant contribution if the ratio between the maximum temperature and the Planck mass, $T_{\rm max}/m_{\rm p}$, divided by the internal coupling in the heat bath is large enough. As the dark matter freeze-in production mechanism is conceptually very similar to the GW production mechanism from the primordial thermal plasma, we refer to the latter as ``GW freeze-in production''. We show that quantum gravity effects appear in single graviton production and are smaller by a factor $(T_{\rm max}/m_{\rm p})^2$ than the leading order contribution. In our work we explicitly compute the CGMB spectrum within a scalar model with quartic interaction.

The three-site model has been offered as a benchmark for studying the collider phenomenology of Higgsless models. In this paper we analyze how well the three-site model performs as a general exemplar of Higgsless models in describing W_L W_L scattering, and which modifications can make it more representative. We employ general sum rules relating the masses and couplings of the Kaluza-Klein (KK) modes of the gauge fields in continuum and deconstructed Higgsless models as a way to compare the different theories. We show that the size of the four-point vertex for the (unphysical) Nambu-Goldstone modes and the degree to which the sum rules are saturated by contributions from the lowest-lying KK resonances both provide good measures of the extent to which a highly-deconstructed theory can accurately describe the low-energy physics of a continuum 5d Higgsless model. After comparing the three-site model to flat and warped continuum models, we analyze extensions of the three-site model to a longer open linear moose with an additional U(1) group and to a ring ("BESS' or "hidden local symmetry") model with three sites and three links. Both cases may be readily analyzed in the framework of the general sum rules. We demonstrate that W_L W_L scattering in the ring model can very closely approximate scattering in the continuum models, provided that the hidden local symmetry parameter `a' is chosen to mimic rho-meson dominance of pion-pion scattering in QCD. The hadron and lepton collider phenomenology of both extended models is briefly discussed, with a focus on the complementary information to be gained from precision measurements of the Z' line shape and ZWW coupling at a high-energy lepton collider.

Starting from the time evolution of the C-odd $\bar{K}^0 K^0$ system, we analyze the asymmetries measurable at DAFNE and their implications on CP violation and on the possible tests of T and CPT symmetries. In particular the ratio $\epsilon'/\epsilon$ can be measured with high precision (up to about $10^{-4}$ for the real part). The CP-, T- and CPT-violating parameters can be explored in $K_S$ semileptonic decays with an accuracy of the order of $10^{-3}$. The possibility to detect $K_S \to 3 \pi$ and $K_L \to \pi \pi \gamma$ decays is also discussed.

As the matter produced in a relativistic heavy ion collision cools through the QCD phase transition, the dynamical evolution of the chiral condensate will be driven out of thermal equilibrium. As a prelude to analyzing this evolution, and in particular as a prelude to learning how rapid the cooling must be in order for significant deviations from equilibrium to develop, we present a detailed analysis of the time-evolution of an idealized region of disoriented chiral condensate. We set up a Langevin field equation which can describe the evolution of these (or more realistic) linear sigma model configurations in contact with a heat bath representing the presence of other shorter wavelength degrees of freedom. We first analyze the model in equilibrium, paying particular attention to subtracting ultraviolet divergent classical terms and replacing them by their finite quantum counterparts. We use known results from lattice gauge theory and chiral perturbation theory to fix nonuniversal constants. The result is a theory which is ultraviolet cutoff independent and that reproduces quantitatively the expected equilibrium behavior of the quantum field theory of pions and sigma fields over a wide range of temperatures. Finally, we estimate the viscosity $\eta(T)$, which controls the dynamical timescale in the Langevin equation, by requiring that the timescale for DCC decay agrees with previous calculations. The resulting $\eta(T)$ is larger than that found perturbatively. We also determine the temperature below which the classical field Langevin equation ceases to be a good model for the quantum field dynamics.

We calculate purely weak virtual one-loop corrections to the production cross section of top-antitop pairs at the Large Hadron Collider via the gluon-gluon fusion subprocess. We find very small negative corrections to the total cross section, of order -0.6%, but significantly larger effects to the differential one, particularly in the transverse momentum distribution, of order -5% to -10% (in observable regions). In case of parity-conserving spin-asymmetries of the final state, $\alpha_{\mathrm{S}}^2\alpha_{\mathrm{W}}$ corrections are typically of a few negative percent, with the exception of positive and negative peaks at $+12%$ and -5%, respectively (near where the tree-level predictions change sign), while those arising in parity-violating asymmetries (which are identically zero in QCD) are typically at a level of a few permille.

We consider the neutral triple gauge boson production process in the context of large extra dimensions (LED) model including the Kaluza-Klein (KK) excited gravitons at future linear colliders, say ILC(CLIC). We consider $\gamma\gamma\gamma, \gamma\gamma Z, \gamma Z Z$ and $ZZZ$ production processes, and analyse their impacts on both the total cross section and some key distributions. These processes are important for new physics searches at linear colliders. Our results show that KK graviton exchange has the most significant effect on \eerzz among the four processes with relatively small $M_S$, while it has the largest effect on \eerrr with larger $M_S$. By using the neutral triple gauge boson production we could set the discovery limit on the fundamental Plank scale $M_S$ up to around 6-9 TeV for $\delta$ = 4 at the 3 TeV CLIC.

Determination of the neutrino mass ordering (NMO) is one of the biggest priorities in the intensity frontier of high energy particle physics. To accomplish that goal a lot of efforts are being put together with the atmospheric, solar, reactor, and accelerator neutrinos. In the standard 3-flavor framework, NMO is defined to be normal if $m_1<m_2<m_3$, and inverted if $m_3<m_1<m_2$, where $m_1$, $m_2$, and $m_3$ are the masses of the three neutrino mass eigenstates $\nu_1$, $\nu_2$, and $\nu_3$ respectively. Interestingly, two long-baseline experiments T2K and NO$\nu$A are playing a leading role in this direction and provide a $\sim2.4\sigma$ indication in favor of normal ordering (NO) which we find in this work. In addition, we examine how the situation looks like in presence of non-standard interactions (NSI) of neutrinos with a special focus on the non-diagonal flavor changing type $\varepsilon_{e\tau}$ and $\varepsilon_{e\mu}$. We find that the present indication of NO in the standard 3-flavor framework gets completely vanished in the presence of NSI of the flavor changing type involving the $e-\tau$ flavors.

The nature of dark matter (DM) remains one of the most important unanswered questions in particle physics. Here, we propose a novel scenario for DM in which weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPs) can freeze-in due to a first-order phase transition (FOPT) in the early Universe. The FOPT dilutes the pre-existing DM density to zero and leads to a sudden change in DM mass, preventing WIMPs from re-equilibrating due to their large mass-to-temperature ratio. Following the FOPT, WIMPs are produced via a freeze-in process, even though their interactions are NOT feeble. We demonstrate this concept using a simplified model and then apply it to a realistic model with a delayed electroweak phase transition. Our work presents a promising new direction for the freeze-in mechanism, and also extends the category of WIMP DM.

We study the distortions of equilibrium spectra of relic neutrinos due to the interactions with electrons, positrons, and neutrinos in the early Universe. We solve the integro-differential kinetic equations for the neutrino density matrix, including three-flavor oscillations and finite temperature corrections from QED up to the next-to-leading order $\mathcal{O}(e^3)$ for the first time. In addition, the equivalent kinetic equations in the mass basis of neutrinos are directly solved, and we numerically evaluate the distortions of the neutrino spectra in the mass basis as well, which can be easily extrapolated into those for non-relativistic neutrinos in the current Universe. In both bases, we find the same value of the effective number of neutrinos, $N_{\rm eff} = 3.044$, which parameterizes the total neutrino energy density. The estimated error for the value of $N_{\rm eff}$ due to the numerical calculations and the choice of neutrino mixing parameters would be at most 0.0005.

We study the possibility of spatially non-uniform ground state in (1+1)-dimensional models with quartic fermi interactions at finite fermion densities by introducing chemical potential \mu. We examine the chiral Gross-Neveu model and the Cooper pair model as toy models of the chiral symmetry breaking and the difermion pair condensates which are presumed to exist in QCD. We confirm in the chiral Gross-Neveu model that the ground state has a crystalline structure in which the chiral condensate oscillates in space with wave number 2\mu. Whereas in the Cooper pair model we find that the vacuum structure is spatially uniform. Some discussions are given to explain this difference.

We study the properties of light mesons in the scalar, pseudo-scalar, and vector channels within the light-front quantization, by using the (one flavor) Nambu--Jona-Lasinio model with vector interaction. After taking into account the effects of chiral symmetry breaking, we derive the bound-state equation in each channel in the large N limit (N is the number of colors), which means that we consider the lowest q\bar{q} Fock state with the constituent quark and antiquark. By solving the bound-state equation, we simultaneously obtain a mass and a light-cone (LC) wavefunction of the meson. While we reproduce the previous results for the scalar and pseudo-scalar mesons, we find that, for a vector meson, the bound-state equations for the transverse and longitudinal polarizations look different from each other. However, eventually after imposing a cutoff which is invariant under the parity and boost transformations, one finds these two are identical, giving the same mass and the same (spin-independent) LC wavefunction. When the vector interaction becomes larger than a critical value, the vector state forms a bound state, whose mass decreases as the interaction becomes stronger. While the LC wavefunction of the pseudo-scalar meson is broadly distributed in longitudinal momentum (x) space, that of the vector meson is squeezed around x=1/2.

The impact of these weights on the spin-correlation matrix and the total cross-section is taken into account. The algorithm is prepared to work in-situ the {\tt KKMC} Monte Carlo, without the need for introducing any external change to the generator libraries. As an example, $e^-e^+ \to \tau^-\tau^+ (n\gamma), \; \tau^- \to \rho^- \nu_\tau \to \pi^- \pi^0 \nu_\tau, \ \tau^+ \to \rho^+ \bar{\nu}_\tau \to \pi^+ \pi^0 \bar{\nu}_\tau$ events were simulated at a center-of-mass energy of 10.58 GeV. The distributions of the acoplanarity angle between the planes spanned by the $\pi^- \pi^0$ and the $\pi^+ \pi^0$ momenta of respectively $\rho^-$ and $\rho^+$ decays and in the rest-frame of the entirely visible $\rho^-\rho^+$ system, are presented for different values of the coupling constants incorporating anomalous electric and magnetic dipole moments in the $\tau^- \tau^+ \gamma$ vertex.

In this paper, we study the next-to-next-to-leading-order (NNLO) QCD corrections for the process $e^+e^- \to J/\psi+J/\psi$ at the $B$ factories. By including the NNLO corrections, the cross section turns negative due to the poor convergence of perturbative expansion. Consequently, to obtain a reasonable estimation for the cross section, the square of the amplitude up to NNLO is used. In addition, the contributions from the bottom quark and the light-by-light part, which are usually neglected, are also included. The final cross section is obtained as $1.76^{+2.42}_{-1.66} ~{\rm fb}$ at a center-of-mass energy of $\sqrt{s}=10.58$ GeV. Our result for total cross section and differential cross section could be compared with precise experimental measurement in future at the $B$ factories.

In the present review we discuss different aspects of the two-photon exchange (TPE) physics in elastic $ep$ scattering, at high $Q^2$ as well as at low $Q^2$. The imaginary part of the TPE amplitude gives rise to beam and target single-spin asymmetries. Different theoretical approaches to calculation of these observables are considered. The real part of the TPE amplitude influence unpolarized cross section and double-spin observables and is, most likely, responsible for discrepancy between two methods of proton form factors measurements. We review different methods of calculations of the TPE amplitudes the framework of "hadron" and "quark-gluon" approaches. We discuss the dispersion approach suitable for low and intermediate $Q^2$, which includes elastic and inelastic intermediate hadronic states, as well as connection of TPE to proton radius puzzle. The present situation with direct experimental searches for the TPE amplitude in $e^+p/e^-p$ charge asymmetry is also discussed, as well as attempts to extract the TPE amplitudes from existing experimental data obtained by the Rosenbluth and double polarization techniques. The TPE physics in other processes, such as elastic $\mu p$, $e$-nucleus and $e\pi$ scattering is also reviewed.

The imaginary part of the TPE amplitude gives rise to beam and target single-spin asymmetries. Different theoretical approaches to calculation of these observables are considered. The real part of the TPE amplitude influence unpolarized cross section and double-spin observables and is, most likely, responsible for discrepancy between two methods of proton form factors measurements. We review different methods of calculations of the TPE amplitudes the framework of "hadron" and "quark-gluon" approaches. We discuss the dispersion approach suitable for low and intermediate $Q^2$, which includes elastic and inelastic intermediate hadronic states, as well as connection of TPE to proton radius puzzle. The present situation with direct experimental searches for the TPE amplitude in $e^+p/e^-p$ charge asymmetry is also discussed, as well as attempts to extract the TPE amplitudes from existing experimental data obtained by the Rosenbluth and double polarization techniques. The TPE physics in other processes, such as elastic $\mu p$, $e$-nucleus and $e\pi$ scattering is also reviewed.

The growing experimental indication of Lepton Flavour Universality Violation (LFUV) both in charged- and neutral-current semileptonic B-decays, has triggered many theoretical interpretations of such non-standard phenomena. Focusing on popular scenarios where the explanation of these anomalies requires New Physics at the TeV scale, we emphasise the importance of including electroweak corrections to obtain trustable predictions for the models in question. We find that the most important quantum effects are the modifications of the leptonic couplings of the W and Z vector bosons and the generation of a purely leptonic effective Lagrangian. As a result, the tight experimental bounds on Z-pole observables and tau decays challenge an explanation of the current non-standard data. We illustrate how these effects arise, by providing a detailed discussion of the running and matching procedure which is necessary to derive the low-energy effective Lagrangian.

We study di-hadron correlations in proton-proton collisions at $\sqrt{s} = 200$ GeV and interpret experimental data in terms of a fragmentation width and a momentum imbalance. A fragmentation width of $580 \pm 50$ GeV/c is obtained, and the measured momentum imbalance gives an `intrinsic' transverse momentum width of partons in the proton of $2.6 \pm 0.2$ GeV/c. Consequences to heavy ion collisions are discussed.
