The Color Glass Condensate (CGC) effective theory and the collinear factorization at high-twist (HT) are two well-known frameworks describing perturbative QCD multiple scatterings in nuclear media. It has long been recognized that these two formalisms have their own domain of validity in different kinematics regions. Taking direct photon production in proton-nucleus collisions as an example, we clarify for the first time the relation between CGC and HT at the level of a physical observable. We show that the CGC formalism beyond shock-wave approximation, and with the Landau-Pomeranchuk-Migdal interference effect is consistent with the HT formalism in the transition region where they overlap. Such a unified picture paves the way for mapping out the phase diagram of parton density in nuclear medium from dilute to dense region.

800 GeV gluino pair production is simulated using ISASUSY 1.1 MC-program. The cascade decay of the gluino into two lightest neutralinos, $\widetilde{g} \rightarrow \widetilde{\chi}_2^0 X$, $\widetilde{\chi}_2^0 \rightarrow \mu^+ \mu^- \widetilde{\chi}_1^0$, is studied for a convenient set of SUSY parameters: $\mu$ = 200 GeV, tan$\beta$ = 2, average squark masses of 1600 GeV, charged Higgs mass of 500 GeV, and top quark mass of 140 GeV. With such parameters the mass difference between $\widetilde{\chi}_2^0$ and $\widetilde{\chi}_1^0$ is less than the mass of Z. As a background, $t\bar{t}$, Z + jets, WW, WZ and ZZ events were generated using ISAJET 6.50 MC-program. The granularities and energy resolutions of the calorimeters in the pseudorapidity range of $\mid\eta\mid$ < 5 are taken into account. If missing transverse momentum is greater than 200 GeV, the number of jets in the calorimeters is 4 or more, the invariant mass of two isolated muons is less than 80 GeV, the background in the muon transverse momentum distribution is negligible.

We discussed how neutrino masses and oscillations are radiatively generated in an $SU(3)_L$ $\times$ $U(1)_N$ gauge model with a symmetry based on $L_e-L_\mu-L_\tau$ ($\equiv$$L^\prime$). The model is characterized by lepton triplets $\psi^i=(\nu^i,\ell^{-i},E^{-i})$, where $E^{-i}$ are negatively charged heavy leptons, an $SU(3)_L$ triplet Higgs scalar $\xi$ and a singlet Higgs scalar $k^{++}$. These Higgs scalars can be interpreted as a Zee's and Zee-Babu's scalar for radiative mechanisms. We demonstrated that the mass hierarchy of $\Delta m_{atm}^2$ $\gg$ $\Delta m_\odot^2$ arise as a consequence of the dynamical hierarchy between $L^\prime$-conserving one-loop effects and $L^\prime$-violating two-loop effects, and our model is relevant to yield quasivacuum solution for solar neutrino problem.

We discuss a possibility to solve the gauge hierarchy problem in the framework of Gravity-Gauge-Higgs Unification scenario. We have calculated 1-loop correction to the mass of the scalar field, which is originated from 55-component of the metric, in five dimensional gravity theory with the bulk scalar field compactified on S^1. It is shown that the quadratic divergences are canceled and the finite mass is generated by explicit diagrammatic calculations and the effective potential calculations.

Motivated by recent measurements of the radiative decay rates of the \emph{P}-wave spin singlet charmonium $h_c$ to the light meson $\eta$ or $\eta^\prime$ by the BESIII Collaboration, we investigate the decay rates of these channels at order $\alpha \alpha_s^4$. The photon is radiated mainly from charm quark pairs in the lowest order Feynman diagrams, since the diagrams where a photon radiated from light quarks are suppressed by $\alpha_s$ or the relative charm quark velocity $v$, due to Charge parity conservation. The form factors of two gluons to $\eta$ or $\eta^\prime$ are employed, which are the major mechanism for $\eta$ and $\eta^\prime$ productions. $\eta(\eta^\prime)$ is treated as a light cone object when we consider that the parent charmonium mass is much heavier than that of the final light meson. We obtain the branching ratio ${\cal B}(h_c\to \gamma\eta^\prime) = (1.94^{+0.70}_{-0.51})\times 10^{-3}$ in the nonrelativistic QCD approach, which is in agreement with the BESIII measurement. The prediction of the branching ratio of $h_c\to \gamma\eta$ is also within the range of experimental error after including the larger uncertainty of the total decay width $\Gamma_{h_c}$. The applications of these formulae to the radiative decays to $\eta(\eta^\prime)$ of the \emph{P}-wave spin singlet bottomonium $h_b(nP)$ are presented. These studies will shed some light on the $\eta - \eta^\prime$ mixing effects, the flavor SU(3) symmetry breaking, as well as the nonperturbative dynamics of charmonium and bottomonium.

We discuss the power scaling rules along the lines of a complete Heavy Quark Effective Field Theory (HQEFT) for the description of heavy quarkonium production through a color-octet mechanism. To this end, we firstly derive a tree-level heavy quark effective Lagrangian keeping both particle-antiparticle mixed sectors allowing for heavy quark-antiquark pair annihilation and creation, but describing only low-energy modes around the heavy quark mass. Then we show the consistency of using HQEFT fields in constructing four-fermion local operators a la NRQCD, to be identified with standard color-octet matrix elements. We analyze some numerical values extracted from charmonia production by different authors and their hierarchy in the light of HQEFT.

Moduli fields with Planck-suppressed couplings to light species are common in string compactifications. Decays of these moduli can reheat the universe at a late time and produce dark matter non-thermally. For generic moduli fields motivated by string theory with masses similar to that of the gravitino and TeV-scale superpartners in the minimal supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM), the non-thermal production of the lightest superpartner (LSP) tends to create an unacceptably large relic density or too strong of an indirect detection signal. We call this the moduli-induced LSP problem of the MSSM. In this paper we investigate extensions of the MSSM containing new LSP candidates that can alleviate this tension. We examine the viability of this scenario in models with light Abelian and non-Abelian hidden sectors, and symmetric or asymmetric dark matter. In these extensions it is possible, though somewhat challenging, to avoid a moduli-induced LSP problem. In all but the asymmetric scenario, the LSP can account for only a small fraction of the observed dark matter density.

We calculate the ionization cross sections for H, He or Ne atoms using $\nu_e$ and $\bar \nu_e$ scattering at keV energies. Such cross sections are useful for e.g. $\bar \nu_e$-oscillation experiments using a tritium source. Using realistic atomic wave functions, we find that for $E_\nu \lsim 10 ~\rm keV $ the atomic ionization cross sections, normalized to one electron per unit volume, are smaller than the corresponding free electron ones, and that they approach it from below as energies of 20 keV are reached.

By evaluating finite-mass corrections, we predict that double-beauty states composed of $bb\bar u \bar d$, $bb\bar u \bar s$, and $bb\bar d \bar s$ will be stable against strong decays, whereas the double-charm states $cc \bar q_k \bar q_l$, mixed beauty+charm states $bc \bar q_k \bar q_l$, and heavier $bb \bar q_k \bar q_l$ states will dissociate into pairs of heavy-light mesons. Observation of a new double-beauty state through its weak decays would establish the existence of tetraquarks and illuminate the role of heavy color-antitriplet diquarks as hadron constituents.

We estimate \Delta Gamma_d/\Gamma_d, including 1/m_b contributions and part of the next-to-leading order QCD corrections, and find it to be around 0.3%. We show the methods to measure \Delta Gamma_d/\Gamma_d by using at least two different final states on the untagged B_d decay. The nonzero width difference can also be used to identify new physics effects and to resolve a twofold discrete ambiguity in the B_d-\bar{B}_d mixing phase. With the high statistics and accurate time resolution of the upcoming LHC experiment, the measurement of \Delta Gamma_d seems to be possible. This measurement would be important for an accurate measurement of \sin2\phi_1 at the LHC. We also derive an upper bound on the value of \Delta Gamma_d/\Gamma_d in the presence of new physics.

Using recent results obtained within the hidden gauge formalism for vector mesons, in which the $f_0(1370)$ and $f_2(1270)$ resonances are dynamically generated resonances from the $\rho \rho$ interaction, we evaluate the radiative decay of these resonances into $\gamma \gamma$. We obtain results for the width in good agreement with the experimental data for the $f_2(1270)$ state and a width about a factor five smaller for the $f_0(1370)$ resonance, which would agree with preliminary results from the Belle collaboration, hinting at an order of magnitude smaller width for this resonance than for the $f_2(1270)$.

We investigate the hyperon semileptonic decays and the quark spin content of the proton $\Delta \Sigma$ taking into account flavor SU(3) symmetry breaking. Symmetry breaking is implemented with the help of the chiral quark-soliton model in an approach, in which the dynamical parameters are fixed by the experimental data for six hyperon semileptonic decay constants. As a result we predict the unmeasured decay constants, particularly for $\Xi^0 \to \Sigma^+$, which will be soon measured and examine the effect of the SU(3) symmetry breaking on the spin content $\Delta \Sigma $ of the proton. Unfortunately large experimental errors of $\Xi^-$ decays propagate in our analysis making $\Delta \Sigma$ and $\Delta s$ practically undetermined. We conclude that statements concerning the values of these two quantities, which are based on the exact SU(3) symmetry, are premature. We stress that the meaningful results can be obtained only if the experimental errors for the $\Xi$ decays are reduced.

We present the first theoretical calculation of nonfactorizable charm-quark loop contributions to the $B_s\to \gamma l^+l^-$ amplitude. We calculate the relevant form factors, $H_{A,V}^{\rm NF}(k'^2,k^2)$, and provide convenient parametrizations of our results in the form of fit functions of two variables, $k'^2$ and $k^2$, applicable in the region below hadron resonances, $k'^2 < M_{J/\psi}^2$ and $k^2 < M_{\phi}^2$. We report that factorizable and nonfactorizable charm contributions to the $B_s\to\gamma l^+l^-$ amplitude have opposite signs. To compare the charm and the top contributions, it is convenient to express the NF charming loop contribution as a non-universal (i.e., dependent on the reaction) $q^2$-dependent correction $\Delta^{\rm NF}C_7(q^2)$ to the Wilson coefficient $C_7$. For the $B_s\to\gamma l^+l^-$ amplitude, the correction is found to be positive, $\Delta^{\rm NF} C_7(q^2)/C_7 > 0$.

We investigate accurate renormalization group analyses in neutrino sector between $\nu$-oscillation and seesaw energy scales. We consider decoupling effects of top quark and Higgs boson on the renormalization group equations of light neutrino mass matrix. Since the decoupling effects are given in the standard model scale and independent of high energy physics, our method can basically apply to any models beyond the standard model. We find that the decoupling effects of Higgs boson are negligible, while those of top quark are not. Particularly, the decoupling effects of top quark affect neutrino mass eigenvalues, which are important for analyzing predictions such as mass squared differences and neutrinoless double beta decay in an underlying theory existing at high energy scale.

In the standard model (SM), the $\rho$ parameter is equal to 1 and the ratio $\lambda_{WZ}$ of Higgs $\to ZZ$ and Higgs $\to WW$ is also equal to 1 at the tree level. When going beyond the SM with more than one types of Higgs representations these quantities may be different from the SM predictions which can provide crucial information about new physics. There may also exist a certain charged Higgs $h^+$ decays into a $W^+$ and a $Z$. Imposing a custodial symmetry can force the parameter $\rho$ to be equal to 1 with certain predictions for $\lambda_{WZ}$ and $h^+ \to W^+Z$. However, imposing $\rho =1$ without custodial symmetry may have different predictions. We show how differences arise and how to use experimental data to obtain information about the underlying physics in a model with the SM plus a real and a complex $SU(2)_L$ triplets.

We present the basis of dimension-eight operators associated with universal theories. We first derive a complete list of independent dimension-eight operators formed with the Standard Model bosonic fields characteristic of such universal new physics scenarios. Without imposing C or P symmetries the basis contains 175 operators -- that is, the assumption of Universality reduces the number of independent SMEFT coefficients at dimension eight from 44807 to 175. 89 of the 175 universal operators are included in the general dimension-eight operator basis in the literature. The 86 additional operators involve higher derivatives of the Standard Model bosonic fields and can be rotated in favor of operators involving fermions using the Standard Model equations of motion for the bosonic fields. By doing so we obtain the allowed fermionic operators generated in this class of models which we map into the corresponding 86 independent combinations of operators in the dimension-eight basis of Ref. arXiv:2005.00059

We show how to extend systematically the FONLL scheme for inclusion of heavy quark mass effects in DIS to account for the possible effects of an intrinsic charm component in the nucleon. We show that when there is no intrinsic charm, FONLL is equivalent to S-ACOT to any order in perturbation theory, while when an intrinsic charm component is included FONLL is identical to ACOT, again to all orders in perturbation theory. We discuss in detail the inclusion of top and bottom quarks to construct a variable flavour number scheme, and give explicit expressions for the construction of the structure functions $F^c_2$, $F^c_L$ and $F^c_3$ to NNLO.

We obtain bounds on the anomalous magnetic and electric dipole moments of the $t$-quark from a future high-energy and high-luminosity linear electron positron collider, such as the CLIC, with unpolarized and polarized electron beams which are a powerful tool to determine new physics. We consider the processes $\gamma e^- \to \bar t b\nu_e$ ($\gamma$ is the Compton backscattering photon) and $e^+e^- \to e^-\gamma^* e^+ \to \bar t b\nu_e e^+$ ($\gamma^*$ is the Weizsacker-Williams photon) which are one of the most important sources of single top quark production. For the systematic uncertainties of $\delta_{sys}=0\%,\hspace{1mm}5\%$, $b-\mbox{tagging efficiency}=0.8$, center-of-mass energy of $\sqrt{s}=3\hspace{0.8mm}TeV$, integrated luminosity of ${\cal L}=2\hspace{0.5mm}ab^{-1}$ and $2\sigma\hspace{1mm}(3\sigma)$ C.L. the future $e^+e^-$ collider may put bounds on the electromagnetic dipole moments $\hat a_V$ and $\hat a_A$ of the top quark of the order of ${\cal O}(10^{-2}-10^{-1})$, which are highly competitive with those recently reported in previous studies.

If sterile neutrinos have a neutral coupling to standard model fermions, matter effect resonant transitions to sterile neutrinos and excess neutral-current events could manifest at long baseline experiments. Assuming a single sterile neutrino with a neutral coupling to fermionic matter, we re-examine bounds on sterile neutrino production at long baselines from the MINOS result $P_{\nu_{\mu} \rightarrow \nu_s} < 0.22$ (90% CL). We demonstrate that sterile neutrinos with a neutral vector coupling to fermionic matter could evade the MINOS limit, allowing a higher fraction of active to sterile neutrino conversion at long baselines. Scanning the parameter space of sterile neutrino matter effect fits of the LSND and MiniBooNe data, we show that in the case of a vector singlet coupling of sterile neutrinos to matter, some favored parametrizations of these fits would create neutral-current event excesses above standard model predictions at long baseline experiments (e.g. MINOS and OPERA).

The gravitino problem gives a severe constraint on the thermal leptogenesis scenario. This problem leads us to consider some alternatives to it if we try to keep the gravitino mass around the weak scale $m_{3/2} \sim 100$ GeV. We consider, in this paper, the non-thermal leptogenesis scenario in the framework of a minimal supersymmetric SO(10) model. Even if we start with the same minimal SO(10) model, we have different predictions for low-energy phenomenologies dependent on the types of seesaw mechanism. This is the case for leptogenesis: it is shown that the type-I see-saw model gives a consistent scenario for the non-thermal leptogenesis but not for type-II. The predicted inflaton mass needed to produce the observed baryon asymmetry of the universe is found to be $M_I \sim 5 \times 10^{11}$ GeV for the reheating temperature $T_R = 10^6$ GeV.

We consider procedures through which an ultraviolet cut-off regularization scheme can be modified to reproduce the same results for nonperturbative renormalized Green's functions as obtained from a dimensional regularization scheme. These issues are considered within the Dyson-Schwinger equation framework, where ultraviolet cut-off regularization can lead to explicit violations of gauge invariance. As a specific illustration, we consider the electron self-energy in quenched QED_4 in both schemes and establish those procedures for which the UV cut-off scheme can be expected to lead to the dimensional regularization results. We also compare results from precise numerical studies using the two types of regularization.

We study the decay B --> K l^+ l^- for l = e,mu,tau with a softly recoiling kaon, that is, for high dilepton invariant masses sqrt{q^2} of the order of the b-quark mass. This kinematic region can be treated within an operator product expansion and simplified using heavy quark symmetry, leading to systematic predictions for heavy-to-light processes such as B --> K^(*) l^+ l^-. We show that the decay rates of both B --> K^* l^+ l^- and B --> K l^+ l^- decays into light leptons depend on a common combination of short-distance coefficients. The corresponding CP-asymmetries are hence identical. Furthermore we present low recoil predictions for B --> K l^+ l^- observables, including the flat term in the angular distribution which becomes sizable for taus. We work out model-independently the constraints on Delta B = 1 operators using the most recent data from the experiments BaBar, Belle, CDF and LHCb. For constructive interference with the standard model, generic new physics is pushed up to scales above 44 TeV at 95% CL. Assuming none or small CP-violation we obtain a lower bound on the position of the zero of the forward-backward asymmetry of B^0 --> K^*0 l^+ l^- decays as q_0^2 > 1.7 GeV^2, which improves to q_0^2 > 2.6 GeV^2 for a standard model-like sign b --> s gamma amplitude.

The electric dipole moment (EDM) of electron is studied in the supersymmetric $\rm A_4$ modular invariant theory of flavors with CP invariance. The CP symmetry of the lepton sector is broken by fixing the modulus $\tau$. Lepton mass matrices are completely consistent with observed lepton masses and mixing angles in our model. In this framework, a fixed $\tau$ also causes the CP violation in the soft SUSY breaking terms. The elecrton EDM arises from the CP non-conserved soft SUSY breaking terms. The experimental upper bound of the electron EDM excludes the SUSY mass scale below $2-6$ TeV for five cases of the lepton mass matrices. In order to see the effect of CP phase of the modulus $\tau$, we examine the correlation between the electron EDM and the decay rate of the $\mu \rightarrow e \gamma$ decay, which is also predicted by the soft SUSY breaking terms. The correlations are clearly predicted in contrast to models of the conventional flavor symmetry. The SUSY mass scale will be constrained by the future sensitivity of the electron EDM, $|d_e/e| \simeq 10^{-30}$. Indeed, it could probe the SUSY mass range of $10-20$ TeV in our model. Thus, the electron EDM provides a severe test of the CP violation via the modulus $\tau$ in the supersymmetric modular invariant theory of flavors.

We present the spectrum and decay constants of heavy-light mesons in four different channels: pseudo-scalar, vector, scalar and axial vector. We extend the framework for our previous analysis in a unified symmetry-preserving Schwinger-Dyson equations treatment of a vector$\times$vectord contact interaction. Despite the simplicity of our model, the results found for the meson masses are in good agreement experimental data and earlier model calculations based upon Schwinger-Dyson and Bethe-Salpeter equations (BSEs) involving sophisticated interaction kernels.

The double Higgs production in the models with isospin-triplet scalars is studied. It is shown that in the see-saw type II model the mode with an intermediate heavy scalar, $pp\to H+X\to 2h+X$, may have the cross section which is compatible with that in the Standard Model. In the Georgi-Machacek model this cross section could be much larger than in SM since the vacuum expectation value of the triplet can be large.

Using methods of effective field theory, factorized expressions for arbitrary B -> X_u l nu decay distributions in the shape-function region of large hadronic energy and moderate hadronic invariant mass are derived. Large logarithms are resummed at next-to-leading order in renormalization-group improved perturbation theory. The operator product expansion is employed to relate moments of the renormalized shape function with HQET parameters such as m_b, Lambda(bar) and lambda_1 defined in a new physical subtraction scheme. An analytic expression for the asymptotic behavior of the shape function is obtained, which reveals that it is not positive definite. Explicit expressions are presented for the charged-lepton energy spectrum, the hadronic invariant mass distribution, and the spectrum in the hadronic light-cone momentum P_+ = E_H - P_H. A new method for a precision measurement of |V_{ub}| is proposed, which combines good theoretical control with high efficiency and a powerful discrimination against charm background.

We study the Belle reaction $\Xi_c^+ \to \Xi^- \pi^+ \pi^+$ looking at the mass distribution of $\pi^+ \Xi$, where clear signals for the $\Xi(1620)$ and $\Xi(1690)$ resonances are seen. These two resonances are generated dynamically from the interaction in coupled channels of $\pi \Xi, \bar K \Lambda, \bar K \Sigma$ and $\eta \Xi$ within the chiral unitary approach. Yet, the weak decay process at the quark level, together with the hadronization to produce pairs of mesons, does not produce the $\pi \pi \Xi$ final state. In order to produce this state one must make transitions from the $\bar K \Lambda, \bar K \Sigma$ and $\eta \Xi$ components to $\pi \Xi$, and this interaction is what produces the resonances. So, the reaction offers a good test for the molecular picture of these resonances. Adding the contribution of the $\Xi^*(1530)$ and some background we are able to get a good reproduction of the mass distribution showing the signatures of the two resonances as found in the experiment.

A modular representation for the semileptonic decays of baryons originating from spin polarized and correlated baryon-antibaryon pairs is derived. The complete spin information of the decaying baryon is propagated to the daughter baryon via a real-valued matrix. It allows to obtain joint differential distributions in sequential processes involving the semileptonic decay in a straightforward way. The formalism is suitable for extraction of the semileptonic formfactors in experiments where strange-baryon-antibaryon pairs are produced in electron-positron annihilation or in charmonia decays. We give examples such as the complete angular distributions in the $e^+e^-\to \Lambda\bar\Lambda$ process, where $\Lambda\to pe^-\bar{\nu}_e$ and $\bar\Lambda\to\bar{p}\pi^+$. The formalism can also be used to describe the distributions in semileptonic decays of charm and bottom baryons. Using the same principles, the modules to describe electromagnetic and neutral current weak baryon decay processes involving a charged lepton-antilepton pair can be obtained. As an example, we provide the decay matrix for the Dalitz transition between two spin-1/2 baryons.

With one \Delta m^2 of the appropriate order of magnitude to solve the atmospheric neutrino problem, we study the resulting three-generation vacuum-oscillation fit to the solar neutrino flux. An explanation of the atmospheric neutrino composition in terms of pure \nu_\mu \to \nu_\tau oscillations is easily compatible with the well-known two-flavour oscillation solution for solar neutrinos. The allowed parameter region in the \sin^2(2\theta_{12})--\Delta m^2 plane changes little with increasing values of the mixing element U_{e3}, provided this is less than about 0.4. We find that the threefold maximal mixing is disfavoured.

For such goals in the physics frontiers we discuss a plan of building a super $\eta$ factory at HIAF high-energy terminal or at CiADS after upgrade. The high-intensity proton beam at HIAF provides a great opportunity of producing a huge number of $\eta$ samples of more than $10^{13}$ events per year, with multiple layers of thin targets of light nucleus.

A dark sector is an interesting place where a strong first-order phase transition, observable gravitational waves and/or a dark matter candidate could arise. However, the experimental tests for such a dark sector could be ambiguous due to the dark content, largely unconstrained parameter space and the connection to the visible world. We consider a minimal dark scalar-vector boson plasma to realize the three mentioned phenomena, with a unique connection to the Standard Model via the Higgs portal coupling. We discuss the important features of the Higgs portal in such a minimal dark sector, namely the dark thermalization, collider tests, and direct detection of dark matter. We perform numerical analyses of the dark phase transition associated with stochastic gravitational waves and dark matter, discussing the complementarity of collider detection, dark matter direct detection and space-based/terrestrial interferometers as a promising avenue to hear and see the minimal dark sector.

We describe analytically an early, quasilinear regime, during which inflaton fluctuations and the metric functions are driven by nonlinear effects of the decay products. We present a detailed study of the leading nonlinear effects in this regime. Results of the quasilinear approximation, in its domain of applicability, are found to be consistent with those of fully nonlinear lattice studies. We discuss how these results may be promoted to the full three dimensions.

The Next-to-Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model NMSSM provides an attractive extension to the minimal supersymmetric model by including an extra Higgs singlet superfield. This extension allows one to link the Higgs-higgsino mass parameter to a vacuum expectation value of the new scalar field, thus providing a solution to the mu-problem of the MSSM. It this report, presented within the context of the LHC / LC Study Group, we examine a particularly interesting NMSSM scenario where the extra Higgs scalar is rather light. We determine LHC production cross-sections and branching ratios for the lightest scalar and find that it will be difficult to observe at the LHC. However, we show that this lightest scalar can instead be observed at an electron-positron Linear Collider for all but a small window of parameter space.

It was recently shown that the vacuum in the background of a strong enough magnetic field may become an electromagnetic superconductor due to interplay between strong and electromagnetic forces. The superconducting ground state of the QCDxQED sector of the vacuum is associated with magnetic-field-assisted emergence of quark-antiquark condensates which carry quantum numbers of charged rho mesons (i.e., of electrically charged vector particles made of lightest, u and d, quarks and antiquarks). Here we demonstrate that this exotic electromagnetic superconductivity of vacuum is also accompanied by even more exotic superfluidity of the neutral rho mesons. The superfluid component -- despite being electrically neutral -- turns out to be sensitive to an external electric field as the superfluid may ballistically be accelerated by a test background electric field along the magnetic-field axis. In the ground state both superconducting and superfluid components are inhomogeneous periodic functions of the transversal (with respect to the axis of the magnetic field) spatial coordinates. The superconducting part of the ground state resembles an Abrikosov ground state in a type-II superconductor: the superconducting condensate organizes itself in periodic structure which possesses the symmetry of an equilateral triangular lattice. Each elementary lattice cell contains a stringlike topological defect (superconductor vortex) in the charged rho condensates as well as three superfluid vortices and three superfluid antivortices made of the neutral rho condensate. The superposition of the superconductor and superfluid vortex lattices has a complicated "kaleidoscopic" pattern.

It was recently shown that the vacuum in the background of a strong enough magnetic field may become an electromagnetic superconductor due to interplay between strong and electromagnetic forces. The superconducting ground state of the QCDxQED sector of the vacuum is associated with magnetic-field-assisted emergence of quark-antiquark condensates which carry quantum numbers of charged rho mesons (i.e., of electrically charged vector particles made of lightest, u and d, quarks and antiquarks). Here we demonstrate that this exotic electromagnetic superconductivity of vacuum is also accompanied by even more exotic superfluidity of the neutral rho mesons. The superfluid component -- despite being electrically neutral -- turns out to be sensitive to an external electric field as the superfluid may ballistically be accelerated by a test background electric field along the magnetic-field axis. In the ground state both superconducting and superfluid components are inhomogeneous periodic functions of the transversal (with respect to the axis of the magnetic field) spatial coordinates. The superconducting part of the ground state resembles an Abrikosov ground state in a type-II superconductor: the superconducting condensate organizes itself in periodic structure which possesses the symmetry of an equilateral triangular lattice. Each elementary lattice cell contains a stringlike topological defect (superconductor vortex) in the charged rho condensates as well as three superfluid vortices and three superfluid antivortices made of the neutral rho condensate. The superposition of the superconductor and superfluid vortex lattices has a complicated "kaleidoscopic" pattern.

We present a next generation of multi-particle Monte Carlo (MC) Event generators for LHC and ILC for the MSSM, namely the three program packages Madgraph/MadEvent, WHiZard/O'Mega and Sherpa/Amegic++. The interesting but difficult phenomenology of supersymmetric models at the upcoming colliders demands a corresponding complexity and maturity from simulation tools. This includes multi-particle final states, reducible and irreducible backgrounds, spin correlations, real emission of photons and gluons, etc., which are incorporated in the programs presented here. The framework of a model with such a huge particle content and as complicated as the MSSM makes strenuous tests and comparison of codes inevitable. Various tests show agreement among the three different programs; the tables of cross sections produced in these tests may serve as a future reference for other codes. Furthermore, first MSSM physics analyses performed with these programs are presented here.

In view of the forthcoming experiments at high energy $e^+ e^-$ colliders, LEP2 and beyond, the process $e^+ e^- \to W^+ W^- \to 4f$ has been investigated for {\it off-shell} $W$'s. After deriving the matrix element for the process within the helicity amplitude formalism, QED radiative corrections to the initial state leptons have been included at the leading logarithmic level in the framework of the electron structure functions. Cross sections and distributions are computed by means of both a semi-analytical and a Monte Carlo code, allowing for several cuts of experimental interest. A Monte Carlo event generator has also been built, for simulation purposes. Some illustrative numerical results are included and shortly described.

The method of searching for signals of heavy virtual particles is developed. It is based on a renormalization group equation for the low energy effective Lagrangian and the decoupling theorem. As an application, the model independent search for Abelian Z' boson in four-fermion processes is analyzed. The basic one-loop renormalization group relation for the parameters of the effective Lagrangian is derived which gives possibility to reduce the problem to the scattering of the Standard Model particles in the ``external field'' substituting heavy virtual Z' state. From the set of derived relations it is determined that the absolute value of the Z' coupling to the axial currents has to be the same for all fermions and is strongly correlated to the Z' coupling to the scalar fields. The corresponding dependences between the parameters of the effective Lagrangians are derived.

Lisi, Marrone, and Montanino have recently proposed a test for quantum gravity induced decoherence effects in neutrino oscillations observed at Super-Kamiokande. We comment here that their equations have the same qualitative form as the energy conserving objective state vector reduction equations discussed by a number of authors. However, using the Planckian parameter value proposed to explain state vector reduction leads to a neutrino oscillation effect many orders of magnitude smaller than would be detectable at Super-Kamiokande. Similar estimates hold for the Ghirardi, Rimini, and Weber spontaneous localization approach to state vector reduction, and our remarks are relevant as well to proposed $K$ meson and $B$ meson tests of gravity induced decoherence.

Using the standard Green-Kubo formalism, we determine the shear viscosity $\eta$ of a hot and dense Yukawa-Fermi gas. In particular, we study the effect of particle and plasmino excitations on thermal properties of the fermionic part of the shear viscosity, and explore the effects of thermal corrections to particle masses on bosonic and fermionic shear viscosities, $\eta_b$ and $\eta_f$. It turns out that the effects of plasminos on $\eta_f$ become negligible with increasing (decreasing) temperature (chemical potential).

The possibility to observe lepton flavour violating Z decays in the GigaZ option of DESY's TESLA project consistently with present bounds from other processes is analyzed in the context of the minimal supersymmetric standard model. In particular, constraints on the slepton mass matrices from radiative lepton decays are updated and taken into account. Their correlation to the present measurement of the muon anomalous dipole moment is briefly discussed.

In models where the Standard Model is extended by Majorana fermions, interference effects due to the presence of CP violating phases have been shown to play a crucial role in lepton number violating processes. However, important effects can also arise in lepton number conserving, but charged lepton flavour violating (cLFV) transitions and decays. Here we show that the presence of CP violating (Dirac and Majorana) phases can have a striking impact for the predicted rates of cLFV observables. We explore the interference effects in several cLFV observables, carrying for the first time a thorough analysis of the different observables and the implications for future observation. We discuss how the presence of leptonic CP violating phases might lead to a loss of correlation between observables (typically present in simple SM extensions via heavy sterile fermions), or even to the suppression of certain channels; these effects can be interpreted as suggestive of non-vanishing phases.

The anomalous <VVP> Green function and related form-factors (pi^0 to gamma^* gamma^* and tau^- to X^- nu_tau vector form-factors, with X^-=(KKpi)^-, phi^- gamma, (phi V)^-) are analyzed in this letter in the large-N_C limit. Within the single (vector and pseudoscalar) resonance approximation and the context of Resonance Chiral Theory, we show that all these observables over-determine in a consistent way a unique set of compatible high-energy constraints for the resonance couplings. This result is in agreement with analogous relations found in the even intrinsic-parity sector of QCD like, e.g., F_V^2 = 3 F^2. The antisymmetric tensor formalism is considered for the spin-one resonance fields. Finally, we have also worked out and provide here the relation between the two bases of odd intrinsic-parity Lagrangian operators commonly employed in the literature.

We review the status of the 2-Higgs Doublet Model (2HDM) Type-II, in the light of the current experimental results and various theoretical consistency conditions. In doing so, we adopt a new numerical framework, called Magellan, to explore the full parameter space of the model. Magellan uses a simple, Markov Chain Monte Carlo technique for the exploration and leverages the use of modern tools, allowing the user to perform inference on the model in an efficient way. The framework exploits the output of well-known Higgs production and decay programs, together with that of packages implementing the current results of both direct and indirect Higgs boson searches. We further illustrate how future measurements can be incorporated in such a framework, through the example of neutral heavy Higgs boson production and decay via the gluon-gluon fusion mode in a variety of final states.

We show that, by studying the arrival times of radio pulses from highly-magnetized transient beamed sources, it may be possible to detect light pseudo-scalar particles, such as axions and axion-like particles, whose existence could have considerable implications for the strong-CP problem of QCD as well as the dark matter problem in cosmology. Specifically, such light bosons may be detected with a much greater sensitivity, over a broad particle mass range, than is currently achievable by terrestrial experiments, and using indirect astrophysical considerations. The observable effect was discussed in Chelouche & Guendelman (2009), and is akin to the Stern-Gerlach experiment: the splitting of a photon beam naturally arises when finite coupling exists between the electro-magnetic field and the axion field. The splitting angle of the light beams linearly depends on the photon wavelength, the size of the magnetized region, and the magnetic field gradient in the transverse direction to the propagation direction of the photons. If radio emission in radio-loud magnetars is beamed and originates in regions with strong magnetic field gradients, then splitting of individual pulses may be detectable. We quantify the effect for a simplified model for magnetars, and search for radio beam splitting in the 2\,GHz radio light curves of the radio loud magnetar XTE\,J1810-197.

Dilution of Dark Matter Relic abundance due to First Order Electroweak Phase Transition in the singlet scalar extended type-II seesaw model

We investigate the effect of a first-order electroweak phase transition (FOEWPT), which is one of the prerequisites for electroweak baryogenesis, on the thermal relic abundance of the dark matter (DM) that freezes out before the phase transition occurs in the complex singlet scalar extended $Z_3$-invariant type-II seesaw model that can simultaneously provide a DM candidate, explain the non-vanishing neutrino masses and the baryon asymmetry of the Universe. Such a phase transition around the electroweak scale leaves an impact on the relic density due to the release of entropy, particularly for a TeV-scale DM. We thus concentrate on the region of parameter space of the said model which favors an FOEWPT in the early Universe and for which the DM is heavy such that its freeze-out temperature turns out to be larger than the phase transition temperature. We further study the dependencies of the dilution factor of the DM relic density on the model parameters, the nucleation temperature, the strength and the duration of the phase transition.

We investigate the effect of a first-order electroweak phase transition (FOEWPT), which is one of the prerequisites for electroweak baryogenesis, on the thermal relic abundance of the dark matter (DM) that freezes out before the phase transition occurs in the complex singlet scalar extended $Z_3$-invariant type-II seesaw model that can simultaneously provide a DM candidate, explain the non-vanishing neutrino masses and the baryon asymmetry of the Universe. Such a phase transition around the electroweak scale leaves an impact on the relic density due to the release of entropy, particularly for a TeV-scale DM. We thus concentrate on the region of parameter space of the said model which favors an FOEWPT in the early Universe and for which the DM is heavy such that its freeze-out temperature turns out to be larger than the phase transition temperature. We further study the dependencies of the dilution factor of the DM relic density on the model parameters, the nucleation temperature, the strength and the duration of the phase transition. Such a dilution might retrieve some of the regions of parameter space that were previously ruled out by the measured value of the DM relic density and/or the latest constraints from the DM direct-detection experiments. Furthermore, a direct connection is drawn between the dilution factor and the generation of stochastic gravitational waves as a result of an FOEWPT.

The mass loss in putative neutron star to mixed neutron - mirror neutron star transition implies a significant change of orbital period. The precise constancy of the latter can restrict scenarios recently suggested where neutron to mirror neutron mixing occurring in neutron stars, transforms them into mixed stars helping explain the narrow mass distribution observed for pulsars in binary systems. The observation of a very old millisecond pulsar with a mass of 2 solar masses is an additional strong constraint on the above transition.We also note that the observed gravitational waves signals from neutron-neutron stars merger constrain the neutron to mirror neutron transitions inside neutron stars. These considerations exclude a large region in the $\epsilon'$, $\delta m'$ plane of the neutron-mirror neutron mixing and mass

Determining how much spin is carried by gluon in a polarized proton is a fundamental problem which cannot be resolved by completely inclusive deep inelastic measurements. Hadroproduction of heavy flavors is very sensitive to the gluon content of hadrons. We show that $\chi_2 (3555)$ production in polarized proton-proton collisions is a good candidate reaction to address this challenging question.

We investigate the three-dimensional~(3D) and two-dimensional~(2D) charge distributions of a spin-one particle in terms of the multipole expansion. On account of the geometrical difference between 2D and 3D spaces, projecting the 3D electric distribution to the 2D one in the Breit frame brings about the influence of the quadrupole distribution upon the monopole one. Thus, the 2D charge distribution becomes spin-dependent. This effect should be sorted out from the relativistic effects arising from the Lorentz boost. We first provide the connections between the 2D and 3D distributions in the Breit frame in terms of the angle-dependent Abel transformation. We then provide the differential equations that enable us to map 2D distributions in the Breit frame to those in the infinite momentum frame.

The Bohr-Sommerfeld quantization rule and the Gamow formula for the width of quasistationary level are generalized by taking into account the relativistic effects, spin and Lorentz structure of interaction potentials. The relativistic quasi-classical theory of ionization of the Coulomb system (V_{Coul}=-\xi/r) by radial-constant long-range scalar (S_{l.r.}=(1-\lambda)(\sigma r+V_0)) and vector (V_{l.r.}=\lambda(\sigma r+V_0)) fields is constructed. In the limiting cases the approximated analytical expressions for the position E_r and width \Gamma of below-barrier resonances are obtained. The strong dependence of the width \Gamma of below-barrier resonances on both the bound level energy and the mixing constant \lambda is detected. The simple analytical formulae for asymptotic coefficients of the Dirac radial wave functions at zero and infinity are also obtained.

The predictions for the vector boson masses, neutrino scattering cross sections and the $Z$ resonance observables are presented in some detail. We show comparisons with the recent experimental data and their implications for the present status of the Standard Model. Finally we address the question how virtual New Physics can influence the predictions for the precision observables and discuss the minimal supersymmetric standard model as a special example of particular theoretical interest.

We study the role that the future detection of the neutrino burst from a galactic supernova can play in the reconstruction of the neutrino mass spectrum. We consider all possible 3$\nu$ mass and flavor spectra which describe the solar and atmospheric neutrino data. For each of these spectra we find the observable effects of the supernova neutrino conversions both in the matter of the star and the earth. We show that studies of the electron neutrino and anineutrino spectra as well as observations of the neutral current effects from supernova will allow us (i) to identify the solar neutrino solution, (ii) to determine the type of mass hierarchy (normal or inverted) and (iii) to probe the mixing $|U_{e3}|^2$ to values as low as $10^{-4} - 10^{-3}$.

In this paper we study the physics potential of the KamLAND detector in probing neutrino oscillation parameters through observation of supernova neutrinos. In particular, we discuss the possibilities of probing the mixing angle $\theta_{13}$ and determining the sign of $\Delta m^2_{32}$ from the total charged current(CC) event rates on the proton and $^{12}{C}$ target, as well as from the CC spectra. We discuss the chances of probing the earth matter effect induced modulations from the observation of CC spectra in the different CC reactions in KamLAND and find the volume required to get a statistically significant signature of the earth matter effect in different energy bins. We also calculate the event rates expected in the neutral current (NC) reactions on Carbon and free proton and investigate if the charged current to neutral current ratios, which are free of the absolute luminosity uncertainty in the supernova neutrino fluxes, can be useful in probing the oscillation parameters.

The method of factorization, based on the model of unstable particles with a smeared mass, is applied to the processes with an unstable particle in the intermediate state. It was shown, that in the framework of the method suggested, the decay rate and cross-section can be represented in the universal factorized form for an arbitrary set of particles. An exact factorization is caused by the specific structure of unstable particles propagators. We performed the phenomenological analysis of the factorization effect.

In such a light TD case, we find that F_phi is uniquely determined by the techni-pion decay constant F_pi independently of the holographic parameters: F_phi/F_pi ~= sqrt{2 N_TF}, with N_TF being the number of techni-fermions. We show that the holographic TD is consistent with a new boson at 125 GeV recently discovered at the LHC.

We revisit the problem of particlization of a QCD fluid into hadrons and resonances at the end of the fluid dynamical stage in relativistic heavy-ion collisions in a context of fluctuation measurements. The existing methods sample an ideal hadron resonance gas, therefore, they do not capture the non-Poissonian nature of the grand-canonical fluctuations, expected due to QCD dynamics such as the chiral transition or QCD critical point. We address the issue by partitioning the particlization hypersurface into locally grand-canonical fireballs populating the space-time rapidity axis that are constrained by global conservation laws. The procedure allows to quantify the effect of global conservation laws, volume fluctuations, thermal smearing and resonance decays on fluctuation measurements in various rapidity acceptances, and can be used in fluid dynamical simulations of heavy-ion collisions. As a first application, we study event-by-event fluctuations in heavy-ion collisions at the LHC using an excluded volume hadron resonance gas model matched to lattice QCD susceptibilities, with a focus on (pseudo)rapidity acceptance dependence of net baryon, net proton, and net charge cumulants. We point out large differences between net proton and net baryon cumulant ratios that make direct comparisons between the two unjustified. We observe that the existing experimental data on net-charge fluctuations at the LHC shows a strong suppression relative to a hadronic description.

Starting from very high energy inelastic electron-nucleon scattering with a production of a hadronic state $X$ to be moved closely to the direction of the initial nucleon, then utilizing analytic properties of parts of forward virtual Compton scattering amplitudes on proton and neutron, one obtains the relation between nucleon form factors and a difference of proton and neutron differential electroproduction cross-sections. In particular, for the case of small transferred momenta, one finally derives sum rule, relating Dirac proton mean square radius and anomalous magnetic moments of proton and neutron to the integral over a difference of the total proton and neutron photoproduction cross-sections.

Our results agree with those recently obtained by Garland et al.. The calculation makes extensive use of an efficient method based on nested sums to calculate two-loop integrals with arbitrary powers of the propagators. The use of nested sums leads in a natural way to multiple polylogarithms with simple arguments, which allow a straightforward analytic continuation.

As an alternative to direct measurements, we extract exclusive branching fractions of semileptonic B-meson decays to charmed mesons, $BF_i(B\to X_c^il\nu)$ with $X_c^i = D, D^*, D_0, D'_1, D_1, D_2, D', D'^*$ and non-resonant final states $(D^{(*)}\pi)_{nr}$, from a fit to electron energy, hadronic mass and combined hadronic mass-energy moments measured in inclusive $B\to X_cl\nu$ decays. The fit is performed by constraining the sum of exclusive branching fractions to the measured value of $BF(B\to X_cl\nu)$, and with different sets of additional constraining terms for the directly measured branching fractions. There is no fit scenario in which a single branching fraction alone is enhanced to close the gap between $BF(B\to X_cl\nu)$ and the sum of known branching fractions $BF_i(B\to X_c^il\nu)$. The fitted $BF(B\to D^*l\nu)$ is 5% to 10% larger than the direct measurement depending on whether or not $BF(B\to D^*l\nu)$ is constrained to its direct measurement. $BF(B\to Dl\nu)$ values are in good agreement with the direct measurement unless $BF(B\to D^*l\nu)$ is constrained, which results in a higher $BF(B\to Dl\nu)$ value. Within large uncertainties, $BF(B\to D'_1l\nu)$ agrees with direct measurements. Depending on the fit scenario, $BF(B\to D_0l\nu)$ is consistent with or larger than its direct measurement. The fit is not able to easily disentangle $B\to D_1l\nu$ and $B\to D_2l\nu$, and tends to increase the sum of these two branching fractions. $BF(B\to (D^{(*)}\pi)_{nr}l\nu)$ with non-resonant $(D^{(*)}\pi)_{nr}$ final states is found to be 0.2-0.4%, consistent with $B\to D^{(*)}\pi l\nu$ and $B\to D^{**}(D^{(*)}\pi)l\nu$ measurements. No indication is found for significant contributions from so far unmeasured $B\to D'^{(*)}l\nu$ decays assuming that the $D'$ and $D'^*$ can be identified with the observed $D(2550)$, respectively, $D^*(2600)$ state.

Parton showers have become a standard component in the description of high-energy collisions. Nowadays most final-state ones are of the dipole character, wherein a pair of partons branches into three, with energy and momentum preserved inside this subsystem. For initial-state showers a dipole picture is also possible and commonly used, but the older global-recoil strategy remains a valid alternative, wherein larger groups of partons share the energy--momentum preservation task. In this article we introduce and implement a dipole picture also for initial-state radiation in PYTHIA, and compare with the existing global-recoil one, and with data. For the case of Deeply Inelastic Scattering we can directly compare with matrix element expressions and show that the dipole picture gives a very good description over the whole phase space, at least for the first branching.

Intensity interferometry and in particular that due to Bose Einstein correlations (BEC) constitutes at present the only direct experimental method for the determination of sizes and lifetimes of sources in particle and nuclear physics. The measurement of these is essential for an understanding of the dynamics of strong interactions which are responsible for the existence and properties of atomic nuclei. Moreover a new state of matter, quark matter, in which the ultimate constituents of matter move freely, is within the reach of present accelerators or those under construction. The confirmation of the existence of this new state is intimately linked with the determination of its space-time properties. Furthermore BEC provides information about quantum coherence which lies at the basis of the phenomenon of Bose-Einstein condensation seen in many chapters of physics. Coherence and the associated classical fields are essential ingredients in modern theories of particle physics including the standard model. Last but not least besides this "applicative" aspect of BEC, this effect has implications for the foundations of quantum mechanics including the understanding of the concept of ``identical particles". Recent theoretical developments in BEC are reviewed and their application in high energy particle and heavy-ion reactions is analyzed. The treated topics include: a) a comparison between the wave-function approach and the space-time approach based on classical currents, which predicts "surprising" particle anti-particle BEC b) the study of final state interactions c) the use of hydrodynamics d) the relation between correlations and multiplicity distributions.

The possibility of appearance of GUT precursors near the TeV scale (suggested by Dienes-Dudas-Gherghetta) is addressed within 5D GUTs compactified on an $S^{(1)}/Z_2\tm Z_2'$ orbifold. For a low compactification scale (large radius), there is a significant non universal logarithmic contribution in the relative running of gauge couplings. This within 5D SU(5), with the minimal field content, gives wrong prediction for $\al_3(M_Z)$ unless one goes beyond the minimal setting. The realization of the light precursors' idea thus requires some specific extensions. As a scenario alternative to SU(5) we also consider an SU(6) orbifold GUT, whose minimal non SUSY version gives natural unification. In all the presented unification scenarios with light precursors, various GUT scales are realized. This allows the model to be naturally embedded in either heterotic or Type ${\rm I}$ string theories.

These lectures are intended to provide an introduction to heavy meson decays and CP violation. The first lecture contains a brief review of the standard model and how the CKM matrix and CP violation arise, mixing and CP violation in neutral meson systems, and explanation of the cleanliness of the sin(2beta) measurement. The second lecture deals with the heavy quark limit, some applications of heavy quark symmetry and the operator product expansion for exclusive and inclusive semileptonic B decays. The third lecture concerns with theoretically clean CP violation measurements that may become possible in the future, and some developments toward a better understanding of nonleptonic B decays. The conclusions include a subjective best buy list for the near future.

To clarify the electroweak symmetry breaking mechanism, we need to probe the Higgs self-couplings, which can be measured in Higgs pair productions. The associated production with a vector boson is special due to a clear tag in the final state. We perform a fully differential next-to-next-to-leading-order calculation of the Higgs pair production in association with a $W$ boson at hadron colliders, and present numerical results at the 14 TeV LHC and a future 100 TeV hadron collider.

We study the R-parity violating minimal supergravity models accounting for the observed neutrino masses and mixing, which can be tested in future collider experiments. The bi-large mixing can be explained by allowing five dominant tri-linear couplings $ \lambda'_{1,2,3}$ and $\lambda_{1,2}$. The desired ratio of the atmospheric and solar neutrino mass-squared differences can be obtained in a very limited parameter space where the tree-level contribution is tuned to be suppressed. In this allowed region, we quantify the correlation between the three neutrino mixing angles and the tri-linear R-parity violating couplings. Such a prediction on the couplings can be tested in the next linear colliders by observing the branching ratios of the lightest supersymmetric particle (LSP). For the stau or the neutralino LSP, the ratio $|\lambda_1|^2: |\lambda_2|^2: |\lambda_1|^2 + |\lambda_2|^2$ can be measured by establishing $Br(e\nu): Br(\mu\nu) : Br(\tau\nu)$ or $Br(\nu e^\pm \tau^\mp): Br(\nu\mu^\pm\tau^\mp) : Br(\nu\tau^\pm\tau^\mp)$, respectively. The information on the couplings $\lambda'_i$ can be drawn by measuring $Br(l_i t \bar{b}) \propto |\lambda'_i|^2$ if the neutralino LSP is heavier than the top quark.

In the last decade, huge progress in experimentally measuring and theoretically understanding flavor physics has been achieved. In particular, the accuracy in the determination of the CKM elements has been greatly improved, and a large number of flavor changing neutral current processes, involving b -> d, b -> s and c -> u transitions, and of CP violating asymmetries, have been measured. No evidence for new physics has been established. Consequently, strong constraints on new physics at high scale apply. In particular, the flavor structure of new physics at the TeV scale is strongly constrained. We review these constraints and we discuss which are the future prospects to better understand the flavor structure of physics beyond the Standard Model.

Recent analyses of flavor-breaking hadronic-$\tau$-decay-based sum rules produce values of $\vert V_{us}\vert$ $\sim 3\sigma$ low compared to 3-family unitarity expectations. An unresolved systematic issue is the significant variation in $\vert V_{us}\vert$ produced by different prescriptions for treating the slowly converging $D=2$ OPE series. We investigate the reliability of these prescriptions using lattice data for various flavor-breaking correlators and show the fixed-scale prescription is clearly preferred. Preliminary updates of the conventional $\tau$-based, and related mixed $\tau$-electroproduction-data-based, sum rule analyses incorporating B-factory results for low-multiplicity strange $\tau$ decay mode distributions are then performed. Use of the preferred FOPT $D=2$ OPE prescription is shown to significantly reduce the discrepancy between 3-family unitarity expectations and the sum rule results.

Searches for new physics in high-multiplicity events with little or no missing energy are an important component of the LHC program, complementary to analyses that rely on missing energy. We consider the potential reach of searches for events with a lepton and six or more jets, and show they can provide increased sensitivity to many supersymmetric and exotic models that would not be detected through standard missing-energy analyses. Among these are supersymmetric models with gauge mediation, R-parity violation, and light hidden sectors. Moreover, ATLAS and CMS measurements suggest the primary background in this channel is from t-tbar, rather than W+jets or QCD, which reduces the complexity of background modeling necessary for such a search. We also comment on related searches where the lepton is replaced with another visible object, such as a Z boson.

In this letter we analyse, in the context of the general 2-Higgs Doublet Model, the structure of the Yukawa matrices, $\widetilde{ \bf Y}_{ _{1,2} }^{q}$, by assuming a four-zero texture ansatz for their definition. In this framework, we obtain compact expressions for $\widetilde{ \bf Y}_{ _{1,2} }^{q}$, which are reduced to the Cheng and Sher ansatz with the difference that they are obtained naturally as a direct consequence of the invariants of the fermion mass matrices. Furthermore, in order to avoid large flavour violating effects coming from charged Higgs exchange, we consider the main flavour constraints on the off-diagonal terms of Yukawa texture {{$\left( \widetilde{\chi}_{j}^q \right)_{kl}$}} ($k\neq l$). We perform a $\chi^2$-fit based on current experimental data on the quark masses and the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa mixing matrix ${ \bf V}_{\rm CKM }$. Hence, we obtain the allowed ranges for the parameters $\widetilde{ \bf Y}_{ _{1,2} }^{q}$ at 1$\sigma$ for several values of $\tan \beta$. The results are in complete agreement with the bounds obtained taking into account constraints on Flavour Changing Neutral Currents reported in the literature.

If supersymmetry (SUSY) solves the hierarchy problem, then naturalness considerations coupled with recent LHC bounds require non-trivial superpartner flavor structures. Such "Natural SUSY" models exhibit a large mass hierarchy between scalars of the third and first two generations as well as degeneracy (or alignment) among the first two generations. In this work, we show how this specific beyond the standard model (SM) flavor structure can be tied directly to SM flavor via "Flavor Mediation". The SM contains an anomaly-free SU(3) flavor symmetry, broken only by Yukawa couplings. By gauging this flavor symmetry in addition to SM gauge symmetries, we can mediate SUSY breaking via (Higgsed) gauge mediation. This automatically delivers a natural SUSY spectrum. Third-generation scalar masses are suppressed due to the dominant breaking of the flavor gauge symmetry in the top direction. More subtly, the first-two-generation scalars remain highly degenerate due to a custodial U(2) symmetry, where the SU(2) factor arises because SU(3) is rank two. This custodial symmetry is broken only at order (m_c/m_t)^2. SUSY gauge coupling unification predictions are preserved, since no new charged matter is introduced, the SM gauge structure is unaltered, and the flavor symmetry treats all matter multiplets equally. Moreover, the uniqueness of the anomaly-free SU(3) flavor group makes possible a number of concrete predictions for the superpartner spectrum.

We discuss the role of $i\epsilon$ in quantum field theories and suggest that it can be identified with the dimensional regularization parameter $i\epsilon=4-d$ thus clarifying and simplifying issues related to the infrared divergences without altering any of the present knowledge in QFT. We further present the relevance of this assumption for the optical theorem.

The one-loop effective potential calculated for a generic model that originates from 5-dimensional theory reduced down to 4 dimensions is considered. The cut-off and dimensional regularization schemes are discussed and compared. It is demonstrated that the prescriptions are consistent with each other and lead to the same physical consequences. Stability of the ground state is discussed for a U(1) model that is supposed to mimic the Standard Model extended to 5 dimensions. It has been shown that fermionic Kaluza-Klein modes can dramatically influence the shape of the effective potential shifting the instability scale even by several orders of magnitude.

We perform an exhaustive analysis of the Equivalence Theorem both in the minimal Standard Model and in an Effective Electroweak Chiral Lagrangian up to ${\cal O}(p^4)$. We have considered the leading corrections to the usual prescription consisting in just replacing longitudinally polarized $W$ or $Z$ by the corresponding Goldstone bosons. The corrections appear through an overall constant multiplying the Goldstone boson amplitude as well as through additional diagrams. By including them we can extend the domain of applicability of the Equivalence Theorem, making it suitable for precision tests of the symmetry breaking sector of the Standard Model. The on-shell scheme has been used throughout. When considering the Equivalence Theorem in an Effective Chiral lagrangian we analyze its domain of applicability, as well as several side issues concerning gauge fixing, Ward identities, on-shell scheme and matching conditions in the effective theory. We have analyzed in detail the processes $W^+ W^- \to W^+W^-$ and $W^+W^+\to W^+W^+$ to illustrate the points made.

We have witnessed the beginning of an era where dark matter and neutrino detectors can probe similar new physics phenomena. Motivated by the low-energy electron recoil spectrum observed by the dark matter experiment, XENON1T, at Gran Sasso laboratory, we interpret the observed signal not in terms of a dark matter particle, but rather in the context of a new light $Z^\prime$ gauge boson. We discuss how such a light $Z^\prime$ rises in a Two Higgs Doublet Model augmented by an abelian gauge symmetry where neutrino masses and the flavor problem are addressed, in agreement with neutrino-electron scattering data.

We discuss radiation zeros that are found in gauge tree amplitudes for processes involving multi-photon emission. Previous results are clarified by examples and by further elaboration. The conditions under which such amplitude zeros occur are identical in form to those for the single-photon zeros, and all radiated photons must travel parallel to each other. Any other neutral particle likewise must be massless (e.g. gluon) and travel in that common direction. The relevance to questions like gluon jet identification and computational checks is considered. We use examples to show how certain multi-photon amplitudes evade the zeros, and to demonstrate the connection to a more general result, the decoupling of an external electromagnetic plane wave in the ``null zone". Brief comments are made about zeros associated with other gauge-boson emission.

We develop the theory of spin light of neutrino in matter ($SL\nu$) and include the effect of plasma influence on the emitted photon. We use the special technique based on exact solutions of particles wave equations in matter to perform all the relevant calculations, and track how the plasmon mass enters the process characteristics including the neutrino energy spectrum, $SL\nu$ rate and power. The new feature it induces is the existence of the process threshold for which we have found the exact expression and the dependence of the rate and power on this threshold condition. The $SL\nu$ spatial distribution accounting for the above effects has been also obtained. These results might be of interest in connection with the recently reported hints of ultra-high energy neutrinos $E = 1 \div 10$ PeV observed by IceCube.

We focus on the $\gamma \gamma \rightarrow \phi J/\Psi$ process, which have been measured by the Belle Collaboration, and present parameter free predictions for the total cross sections at the LHC energies. Our results demonstrate that the experimental study of this process is feasible and can be used to confirm or not the existence of the $X(4350)$ state. Finally, for completeness, we present predictions for the production of the $X(3915)$ state in the $\gamma \gamma \rightarrow \omega J/\Psi$ process and show that this exotic state can also be probed in $\gamma \gamma$ interactions at the LHC.

It is argued that the only three-flavor symmetry which is consistent with the Okubo-Zweig-Iizuka (OZI) rule, and is therefore dictated by the gluon gauge dynamics, is the heavy c quark limit of a certain U(4)_F subgroup (called S_OZI here) and defined as S_OZI= \lim_(m_c\to \Lambda_c) SU(2)_ud * SU(2)_cd * U(1) with the two SU(2) groups acting in turn onto the 1st and 2nd quark generations rather than Gell-Mann's eightfold SU(3)_F. Within this scheme the presence of non-strange quarkonium components in the wave function of the physical eta and f_1(1285) mesons appears necessarily through the violation of the OZI rule for the pseudoscalar and axial vector mesons by the anomalous axial U(1)_A baryon number current and not by a primordial octet flavor symmetry. The physical observable which selects the S_OZI over the SU(3)_F scheme is the non-isotriplet part of the neutral axial current. In the case of the S_OZI symmetry the only non-isotriplet neutral axial current having a well defined chiral limit is purely strange, while within the SU(3)_F framework it is the octet axial current which is supposed to be partially conserved. Accordingly, while in the latter case the tree level eta N coupling is of significant strength, its almost vanishes in the former, in agreement with data, thus confirming the relevance of the S_OZI symmetry.

Within the framework of the semiclassical approximation, we derive the Boltzmann equation describing the dynamics of colorless plasmons in a hot QCD plasma. The probability of the plasmon-plasmon scattering at the leading order in the coupling constant is obtained. This probability is gauge-independent at least in the class of the covariant and temporal gauges. It is noted that the structure of the scattering kernel possesses important qualitative difference from the corresponding one in the Abelian plasma, in spite of the fact that we focused our study on the colorless soft excitations. It is shown that four-plasmon decay is suppressed by the power of $g$ relative to the process of nonlinear scattering of plasmons by thermal particles at the soft momentum scale. It is stated that the former process becomes important in going to the ultrasoft region of the momentum scale.

Employing the QCD light-cone sum rule approach we calculate the B -> pi pi hadronic matrix element of the current-current operator with c quarks in the penguin topology (``charming penguin''). The dominant contribution to the sum rule is due to the c-quark loop at short distances and is of O(alpha_s) with respect to the factorizable B -> pi pi amplitude. The effects of soft gluons are suppressed at least by O(alpha_s m_b^{-2}). Our result indicates that sizable nonperturbative effects generated by charming penguins at finite m_b are absent. The same is valid for the penguin contractions of the current-current operators with light quarks.

The hierarchy of long-distance matrix elements (MEs) for quarkonium production depends on their scaling with the velocity $v$ of the heavy quark in the bound state. Ranges for the velocities in various bound states and uncertainties of colour-singlet MEs are estimated in a quark-potential model. Different possibilities for the scaling with $v$ of the MEs are discussed; they depend on the actual values of $v$ and the QCD scale. As an application, J/psi polarization in e^+e^- annihilation is discussed. The first non-perturbative estimates of colour-octet MEs are presented and compared with phenomenological determinations. Finally, various predictions of prompt quarkonium production at LEP are compared.

Describing the lightest pseudoscalar mesons as bound states of quark and antiquark within the framework of an instantaneous Bethe-Salpeter formalism constructed such as to retain (in contrast to Salpeter's equation) as much information on the relativistic effects provided by the full quark propagator as conceivable allows for a surprisingly simple implementation of their near masslessness mandatory for their interpretability as pseudo-Goldstone bosons related to the spontaneous breaking of the chiral symmetries of quantum chromodynamics.

In hadron induced air showers of highest energies (E> 1e18 eV), the lateral distribution functions of electrons and muons are a superposition of many separate electromagnetic sub-showers, initiated by meson decay at different altitudes and energies. The lateral distribution function is the primary tool for reconstructing the energy of the primary in a UHE cosmic ray shower, so understanding it in detail is a prerequisite for having confidence in the energy determination. We analyze in this paper the dominant contributions to the ground level lateral distribution functions, as a function of the altitude and energy at which the sub-showers are initiated. Far from the core, the dominant contribution to the density of electrons comes from sub-showers initiated at low altitudes and low energies (E<100 GeV). The dominant sub-showers are initiated at large radial distance from the core and at a large angle with respect to the main shower axis. This demonstrates the need for careful treatment of low energy hadron physics modeling even for ultrahigh energy primaries.

We discuss a strongly-coupled extended Higgs sector with the 126 GeV Higgs boson, which is a low-energy effective theory of the supersymmetric SU(2)$_H$ gauge thoery that causes confinement. In this effective theory, we study the parameter region where electroweak phase transition is of strongly first order, as required for successful electroweak baryogenesis. In such a parameter region, the model has a Landau pole at the order of 10 TeV, which corresponds to the confinement scale of the SU(2)$_H$ gauge theory. We find that the large coupling constant which blows up at the Landau pole results in large non-decoupling loop effects on low-energy observables, such as the Higgs-photon-photon vertex and the triple Higgs boson vertex. As phenomenological consequences of electroweak baryogenesis in our model, the Higgs-to-diphoton branching ratio is about 20% smaller while the triple Higgs boson coupling is more than about 20% larger than the standard model predictions. Such deviations may be detectable in future collider experiments.

We study the leptogenesis scenario in models with multi-Higgs doublets. It is pointed out that the washing-out process through the effective dimension five interactions, which has not been taken into account seriously in the conventional scenario, can be effective, and the resultant baryon asymmetry can be exponentially suppressed. This fact implies new possible scenario where the observed baryon asymmetry is the remnant of the washed out lepton asymmetry which was originally much larger than the one in the conventional scenario. Our new scenario is applicable to some neutrino mass matrix models which predict too large CP-violating parameter and makes them viable through the washing-out process.

The technique of Weinberg's spectral-function sum rule is a powerful tool for a study of models in which global symmetry is dynamically broken. It enables us to convert information on the short-distance behavior of a theory to relations among physical quantities which appear in the low-energy picture of the theory. We apply such technique to general supersymmetry breaking models to derive new sum rules.

We develop the theory of interaction of classical plasma with Kaluza-Klein (KK) gravitons in the ADD model of TeV-scale gravity. Plasma is described within the kinetic approach as the system of charged particles and Maxwell field both confined on the brane. Interaction with multidimensional gravity living in the bulk with $n$ compact extra dimensions is introduced within the linearized theory. The KK gravitons emission rates are computed taking into account plasma collective effects through the two-point correlation functions of the fluctuations of the plasma energy-momentum tensor. Apart from known mechanisms (such as bremsstrahlung and gravi-Primakoff effect) we find essentially collective channels such as the coalescence of plasma waves into gravitons which may be manifest in turbulent plasmas. Our results indicate that commonly used rates of the KK gravitons production in stars and supernovae may be underestimated.

We study the implications of the spontaneous and explicit Z(3) center symmetry breaking for the Polyakov loop susceptibilities. To this end, ratios of the susceptibilities of the real and imaginary parts, as well as of the modulus of the Polyakov loop are computed within an effective model using a color group integration scheme. We show that the essential features of the lattice QCD results of these ratios can be successfully captured by the effective approach. Furthermore we discuss a novel scaling relation in one of these ratios involving the explicit breaking field, volume, and temperature.

We investigate the positivity constraints for the structure functions of both virtual and real photon. From the Cauchy-Schwarz inequality we derive three positivity conditions for the general virtual photon case, which reduce, in the real photon case, to one condition relating the polarized and unpolarized structure functions.

I discuss advances in the determination of strange, charm, and bottom quark parton distribution functions obtained in the CTEQ6.5 and CTEQ6.6 global analyses. These results affect electroweak precision observables and certain new physics searches at the Large Hadron Collider. I focus, in particular, on high-energy implications of the consistent treatment of heavy-quark threshold effects in DIS in the general-mass factorization scheme; an independent parametrization for the strangeness PDF; and the possible presence of nonperturbative ("intrinsic") charm.
