The recent measurements on $b\to s \ell^+ \ell^-$ processes suggest the existence of lepton-flavour-universality breaking new physics. In this work, we have explored the possibility of explaining these data by sneutrinos in the $R$-parity violating minimal supersymmetric standard model. We study the light sneutrinos, of order 1 TeV, and suppose that the rest of the sfermions are much heavier than them. This setup can solve the $b \to s \mu^+ \mu^-$ anomaly well, and it is almost unconstrained by other related processes, such as $B_s-\bar{B}_s$ mixing, as well as $B_s^0 \to \tau^+ \tau^-$, $B^+ \to K^+ \tau^+ \tau^-$, $B_s^0 \to \tau^\pm \mu^\mp$, $B^+ \to K^+ \tau^\pm \mu^\mp$, and $B \to K^{(\ast)} \nu \bar{\nu}$ decays.

The presence of non-unitary neutrino mixing can affect the measurement of the three-neutrino leptonic Dirac CP phase and hamper efforts to probe CP violation due to degeneracies of the extra non-unitary CP phase with the standard CP phase. We study the effect of including non-unitarity on probing CP violation with the long-baseline experiments NO$\nu$A, T2K and DUNE. We analyze the effect of non-unitary mixing at the level of oscillation probabilities associated with the relevant baselines, and present the CP violation sensitivity for the individual experiments and their combination. Our results show that there is an improvement in the CP violation sensitivity of the combination compared to the individual experiments.

The CSC (cryogenic scintillating calorimeter) technology devoted to rare event searches is reaching the sensitivity level required for the hunt of dark matter-electron scatterings. Dark matter-electron interactions in scintillating targets are expected to stimulate the emission of single photons, each of energy equal to the target electronic band gap. The electronic band gap in scintillators like NaI/GaAs is of O(eV). The search for this signal can be done by an array of cryogenic light detectors with eV/sub-eV energy resolution. In this work, we describe the detection principle, the detector response and the envisioned detector design to search for dark matter interacting with electrons via the measurement of the scintillation light at millikelvin. First sensitivity projections are provided, which show the potential of this research.

Final states involving tau leptons are important components of searches for new particles at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). A proper treatment of tau spin effects in the Monte Carlo (MC) simulations is important for understanding the detector acceptance as well as for the measurements of tau polarization and tau spin correlations. In this note we present a TauSpinner package designed to simulate the spin effects. It relies on the availability of the four-momenta of the taus and their decay products in the analyzed data. The flavor and the four-momentum of the boson decaying to the tau-tau+ or tau+- nu pair need to be known. In the Z/gamma* case the initial state quark configuration is attributed from the intermediate boson kinematics, and the parton distribution functions (PDF's). TauSpinner is the first algorithm suitable for emulation of tau spin effects in tau-embedded samples. It is also the first tool that offers the user the flexibility to simulate a desired spin effect at the analysis level. An algorithm to attribute tau helicity states to a previously generated sample is also provided.

We make a complete catalog of extended Higgs sectors involving SU(2)_L doublets and singlets, subject to natural flavor conservation. In each case we present the couplings of a light neutral CP-even Higgs state h in terms of the model parameters, and identify which models are distinguishable in principle based on this information. We also give explicit expressions for the model parameters in terms of h couplings and exhibit the behaviors of the couplings in the limit where the deviations from the Standard Model Higgs couplings are small. Finally we discuss prospects for differentiation of extended Higgs models based on measurements at the LHC and ILC and identify the regions in which these experiments could detect deviations from the SM Higgs predictions.

We revisit the issue of probing R-violating couplings of supersymmetric theories at hadronic colliders, particularly at the LHC. Concentrating on dimuon production, an evaluation of the optimal sensitivity to the R-violating coupling is performed through a maximum likelihood analysis. The measurement uncertainties are evaluated through a study of fully generated events processed through a fast simulation of the ATLAS detector. It is found that a host of R-violating couplings can be measured to a statistical accuracy of better than 10%, over a significant part of the m_{tilde f} -- lambda parameter space still allowed by low energy measurements. Since the bounds thus obtained do not simply scale as the squark mass, one can do significantly better at the LHC than at the Tevatron. The same analysis can also be extended to assess the reach of the LHC to effects due to any non-SM structure of the four-fermion amplitude, caused by exchanges of new particles with different spins such as leptoquarks and gravitons that are suggested by various theoretical ideas.

A five dimensional model containing both left-right and quark-lepton symmetries is constructed, with the gauge group broken by a combination of orbifold compactification and the Higgs mechanism. An analysis of the gauge and scalar sectors is performed and it is shown that the 5d model admits a simpler scalar sector. Bounds on the relevant symmetry breaking scales are obtained and reveal that two neutral gauge bosons may appear in the TeV energy range to be explored by the LHC. Split fermions are employed to remove the mass relations implied by the quark-lepton symmetry and the necessary fermion localisation is achieved by introducing bulk scalars with kink vacuum profiles. The symmetries of the model constrain the Yukawa sector, which in turn severely constrains the extent to which realistic split fermion scenarios may be realized in the absence of Yukawa coupling hierarchies. Nevertheless we present two interesting one generation constructs. One of these provides a rationale for $m_t>m_b, m_{\tau}$ and $m_\nu\ll m_t$ with Yukawa parameters which vary by only a factor of five. The other also suppresses the proton decay rate by spatially separating quarks and leptons but requires a Yukawa parameter hierarchy of order $10^2$.

Gauge mediation of supersymmetry breakdown has many attractive features and can be realized in phenomenologically interesting string-motivated models. We point out that in models with the Polonyi-like field stabilized at a low expectation value by quantum corrections, gravity seems to limit from above the admixture of gravity mediation to the dominant gauge mediation channel. However, we also point out that in a class of such models the low energy metastable supersymmetry breaking vaccum appears to be cosmologically disfavoured. These features should hold also in the case of typical stabilized models with anomalous U(1) groups.

We review the properties of chaoticity and coherence in Bose-Einstein condensation and correlations, for a dense boson system in its mean-field represented approximately by a harmonic oscillator potential. The order parameter and the nature of the phase transition from the chaotic to the condensate states are studied for different fixed numbers of bosons. The two-particle correlation function in momentum space is calculated to investigate how the Bose-Einstein correlation depends on the degree of condensation and other momentum variables. We generalize the Bose-Einstein correlation analysis to three-particle correlations to show its dependence on the degree of condensation.

In this work, we first use Thompson's renormalization group method to treat QCD-vacuum behavior close to the regime of asymptotic freedom. QCD-vacuum behaves effectively like a "paramagnetic system" of a classical theory in the sense that virtual color charges (gluons) emerge in it as spin effect of a paramagnetic material when a magnetic field aligns their microscopic magnetic dipoles. Making a classical analogy with the paramagnetism of Landau's theory,we are able to introduce a kind of Landau effective action without temperature and phase transition for simply representing QCD-vacuum behavior at higher energies as magnetization of a paramagnetic material in the presence of a magnetic field H. This reasoning allows us to use Thompson's heuristic approach in order to extract an "effective susceptibility" ($\chi>0$) of QCD-vacuum. It depends on logarithmic of energy scale u to investigate hadronic matter. Consequently,we are able to get an "effective magnetic permeability" ($\mu>1$) of such a "paramagnetic vacuum". As QCD-vacuum must obey Lorentz invariance,the attainment of $\mu>1$ must simply require that the "effective electrical permissivity" is $\epsilon<1$,in such a way that $\mu\epsilon=1$ (c^2=1).This leads to the antiscreening effect, where the asymptotic freedom takes place. On the other hand, quarks cofinement, a subject which is not treatable by perturbative calculations, is worked by the present approach. We apply the method to study this subject in order to obtain the string constant, which is in agreement with the experiments.

In the present work, we perform systematic estimations for the radiative decays of the charmed mesons in a modified relativistic quark model. Our estimations indicate that the branching ratios of the process of $D_2^0(1^3P_2) \to D^{\ast 0}(1^3S_1) \gamma$, $D_3^0(1D_3) \to D_2^0(1^3P_2) \gamma$, $D_2^0(2D_2^\prime) \to D_1^{0}(2P_1) \gamma$, $D_3^0(2^3D_3) \to D_2^0(2^3P_2) \gamma$, and $D^{\ast 0}(1^3S_1) \to D^0(1^1S_0) \gamma$ are of the order of $10^{-2}$, which are sizable to be detected experimentally. Moreover, the branching ratios of some channels, for example, $D_1^0(1P_1) \to D(1^1S_0)^0 \gamma$, $D^0(3^1S_0) \to D_1^{\prime 0}(2P^\prime_{1}) \gamma$ and $D^0(3^3S_1) \to D_2^0(2^3P_2) \gamma$ are estimated to be of the order of $10^{-3}$, which may be accessible with the accumulation of data in future experiments.

Valence quark distributions in transversally and longitudinally polarizied rho mesons in the region of intermediate x are obtained by generalizied QCD sum rules. Power corrections up to d=6 are taken into account. Comparison of the results for pi and rho mesons shows, that polarization effects are very significant and SU(6) symmetry of distribution functions is absent. The strong suppression of quark and gluon sea distributions in longitudinally polarizied rho mesons is found.

We propose a dark matter model in which the dark sector is gauged under a new SU(2) group. The dark sector consists of SU(2) dark gauge fields, two triplet dark Higgs fields, and two dark fermion doublets (dark matter candidates in this model). The dark sector interacts with the SM sector through kinetic and mass mixing operators. The model explains both PAMELA and Fermi LAT data very well and also satisfies constraints from both the DM relic density and Standard Model precision observables. The phenomenology of the model at the LHC is also explored.

We report on a lattice calculation of the form factors A_0 and A_3 for the pseudoscalar to vector meson semileptonic decay Bbar^0 to rho^+ l^- nubar_l. We find that resonant (or pole-type) contributions alone are unable to describe these two form factors simultaneously. For the quantity A_0(q^2=0), which is important phenomenologically for the determination of |Vub|, we extract a range of values, A_0(q^2=0) = (0.16--0.35) +0.09-0.06, where the range is due to systematic uncertainty and the quoted error is statistical. We have also determined A_2(q^2=0) = 0.28 +0.09-0.06 +0.04-0.05.

Due to their penetrating nature, electromagnetic probes, i.e., lepton-antilepton pairs (dileptons) and photons are unique tools to gain insight into the nature of the hot and dense medium of strongly-interacting particles created in relativistic heavy-ion collisions, including hints to the nature of the restoration of chiral symmetry of QCD. Of particular interest are the spectral properties of the electromagnetic current-correlation function of these particles within the dense and/or hot medium. The related theoretical investigations of the in-medium properties of the involved particles in both the partonic and hadronic part of the QCD phase diagram underline the importance of a proper understanding of the properties of various hadron resonances in the medium.

A tunneling bounce driving the decay of a metastable vacuum must respect an integral constraint dictated by simple scaling arguments that is very useful to determine key properties of the bounce. After illustrating how this works in a simple toy model, the Standard Model Higgs potential is considered, including quartic coupling running and gravitational corrections as sources of scale invariance breaking. This approach clarifies the existence of the bounce and leads to simple and accurate analytical results in an expansion in the breaking parameters. Using the so-called tunneling-potential approach (generalized for nonminimal coupling to gravity) the integral constraint and the tunneling action are extended to second order in perturbations.

The electromagnetic form factors have attracted lot of theoretical and experimental attention recently as they encode extensive information on the internal structure of the hadron. An understanding of the form factors is necessary to describe the strong interactions as they are sensitive to the pion cloud and provide a test for the QCD inspired effective field theories based on the chiral symmetry. In view of the very exciting recent developments in the field, we propose to apply the techniques of chiral constituent quark model to measure the electromagnetic form factors of the nucleon.The results obtained are comparable to the latest experimental studies and also show improvement over some theoretical interpretations.

The time-dependent decay rates of the four channels can provide four CP parameters, which are experimentally measurable. We show that the CKM angle $\phi_3=\gamma$ can be determined from these parameters without any theoretical model dependence. These channels can be measured in future LHCb experiments to provide a clean way for $\gamma$ measurement.

The observed pattern of neutrino mass splittings and mixing angles indicates that their family structure is significantly different from that of the charged fermions. We investigate the implications of these data for the fermion mass matrices in grand unified theories with a type-I seesaw mechanism. We show that, with simple assumptions, naturalness leads to a strongly hierarchical Majorana mass matrix for heavy right-handed neutrinos and a partially cascade form for the Dirac neutrino matrix. We consider various model building scenarios which could alter this conclusion, and discuss their consequences for the construction of a natural model. We find that including partially lopsided matrices can aid us in generating a satisfying model.

We present the three-loop result for the soft anomalous dimension governing long-distance singularities of multi-leg gauge-theory scattering amplitudes of massless partons. We compute all contributing webs involving semi-infinite Wilson lines at three loops and obtain the complete three-loop correction to the dipole formula. We find that non-dipole corrections appear already for three coloured partons, where the correction is a constant without kinematic dependence. Kinematic dependence appears only through conformally-invariant cross ratios for four coloured partons or more, and the result can be expressed in terms of single-valued harmonic polylogarithms of weight five. While the non-dipole three-loop term does not vanish in two-particle collinear limits, its contribution to the splitting amplitude anomalous dimension reduces to a constant, and it only depends on the colour charges of the collinear pair, thereby preserving strict collinear factorization properties. Finally we verify that our result is consistent with expectations from the Regge limit.

Non-trivial complex phases in the interactions involving fermions in both the elementary and strong sectors can induce CPV in the Higgs potential as well as the Yukawa coupling parameters. We compute both of the latter and analyse their dependence upon the aforementioned complex phases. Finally, we discuss physics observables which are distinctive of this model. Even in the simplest case with only one complex phase in the strong sector we can get significant CPV effects.

The Bethe-Heitler formula describes bremsstrahlung and it's a typical and important example in quantum electromagnetic dynamics (QED). This formula is widely applied in many branches of physics and astrophysics. We find that the integrated bremsstrahlung cross section at the static approximation and high energy limit has an unexpected big increment, which is missed by previous bremsstrahlung theory. This anomalous effect also exists in electron-positron pair creation. We derive the relating formulas and point out that electromagnetic cascades at the top of atmosphere can test this effect.

We extend the analysis of elastic pion-nucleon scattering up to $O(p^4)$ level using extended-on-mass-shell subtraction scheme within the framework of covariant baryon chiral perturbation theory. Numerical fits to partial wave phase shift data up to $\sqrt{s}=1.13$ GeV are performed to pin down the free low energy constants. A good description to the existing phase shift data is achieved. We find a good convergence for the chiral series at $O(p^4)$, considerably improved with respect to the $O(p^3)$-level analyses found in previous literature. Also, the leading order contribution from explicit $\Delta(1232)$ resonance and partially-included $\Delta(1232)$ loop contribution are included to describe phase shift data up to $\sqrt{s}=1.20$ GeV. As phenomenological applications, we investigate chiral correction to the Goldberger-Treiman relation %$\Delta_{GT}$ and find that it converges rapidly, and the $O(p^3)$ correction is found to be very small: $\simeq 0.2%$. We also get a reasonable prediction of pion-nucleon sigma term $\sigma_{\pi N}$ up to $O(p^4)$ by performing fits including both the pion-nucleon partial wave phase shift data and the lattice QCD data. We report that $\sigma_{\pi N}=52\pm7$ MeV from the fit without $\Delta(1232)$, and $\sigma_{\pi N}=45\pm6$ MeV from the fit with explicit $\Delta(1232)$.

We extend the analysis of elastic pion-nucleon scattering up to $O(p^4)$ level using extended-on-mass-shell subtraction scheme within the framework of covariant baryon chiral perturbation theory. Numerical fits to partial wave phase shift data up to $\sqrt{s}=1.13$ GeV are performed to pin down the free low energy constants. A good description to the existing phase shift data is achieved. We find a good convergence for the chiral series at $O(p^4)$, considerably improved with respect to the $O(p^3)$-level analyses found in previous literature. Also, the leading order contribution from explicit $\Delta(1232)$ resonance and partially-included $\Delta(1232)$ loop contribution are included to describe phase shift data up to $\sqrt{s}=1.20$ GeV. As phenomenological applications, we investigate chiral correction to the Goldberger-Treiman relation %$\Delta_{GT}$ and find that it converges rapidly, and the $O(p^3)$ correction is found to be very small: $\simeq 0.2%$.

We show how parton distributions unintegrated over the parton transverse momentum, k_t, may be generated, at NLO accuracy, from the known integrated (DGLAP-evolved) parton densities determined from global data analyses. A few numerical examples are given, which demonstrate that sufficient accuracy is obtained by keeping only the LO splitting functions together with the NLO integrated parton densities. However, it is important to keep the precise kinematics of the process, by taking the scale to be the virtuality rather than the transverse momentum, in order to be consistent with the calculation of the NLO splitting functions.

In recent years, the gauge group $U(1)_{L_\mu-L_\tau}$ has received a lot of attention since it can, in principle, account for the observed excess in the anomalous muon magnetic moment $(g-2)_\mu$, as well as the Hubble tension. Due to unavoidable, loop-induced kinetic mixing with the SM photon and $Z$, the $U(1)_{L_\mu-L_\tau}$ gauge boson $A'$ can contribute to stellar cooling via decays into neutrinos. In this work, we perform for the first time an \textit{ab initio} computation of the neutrino emissivities of white dwarf stars due to plasmon decay in a model of gauged $U(1)_{L_\mu-L_\tau}$. A key result is that current observations of the early-stage white dwarf neutrino luminosity at the 30\% level exclude previously allowed regions of the parameter space favoured by a simultaneous explanation of the $(g-2)_\mu$ and $H_0$ anomalies. In this work, we present the relevant white dwarf cooling limits over the entire $A'$ mass range. In particular, we have performed a rigorous computation of the luminosities in the resonant regime, where the $A'$ mass is comparable to the white dwarf plasma frequencies.

We revisit the cosmological aspects of axion models. In the high-scale inflation scenario, the Peccei-Quinn (PQ) symmetry is likely to be restored during/after inflation. If the curvature of the PQ scalar potential at the origin is smaller than its vacuum expectation value; for instance in a class of SUSY axion models, thermal inflation happens before the radial component of the PQ scalar (saxion) relaxes into the global minimum of the potential and the decay of saxion coherent oscillation would produce too much axion dark radiation. In this paper, we study how to avoid the overproduction of axion dark radiation with some concrete examples. We show that, by taking account of the finite-temperature dissipation effect appropriately, the overproduction constraint can be relaxed since the PQ scalar can take part in the thermal plasma again even after the PQ phase transition. We also show that it can be further relaxed owing to the late time decay of another heavy CP-odd scalar, if it is present.

The computation of the NLO QCD corrections to the cross sections for W+W- gamma and ZZgamma production in hadronic collisions is presented. We consider the case of a real photon in the final state, but include full leptonic decays of the W and Z bosons. Numerical results for the LHC and the Tevatron are obtained through a fully flexible parton level Monte Carlo based on the structure of the VBFNLO program, allowing an easy implementation of arbitrary cuts and distributions. We show the dependence on scale variations of the integrated cross sections and provide evidence that NLO QCD corrections strongly modify the LO predictions for observables at the LHC both in magnitude and in shape.

The chiral-odd generalized parton distribution (GPD), or transversity GPD, of the nucleon can be accessed experimentally through the photo- or electroproduction of two vector mesons on a polarized nucleon target, \gamma^(*) N --> \rho_1 \rho_2 N', where \rho_1 is produced at large transverse momentum, \rho_2 is transversely polarized, and the mesons are separated by a large rapidity gap. We predict the cross section for this process for both transverse and longitudinal \rho_{2} production. To this end we propose a model for the transversity GPD H_T(x,\xi,t), and give an estimate of the relative sizes of the transverse and longitudinal \rho_{2} cross sections. We show that a dedicated experiment at high energy should be able to measure the transversity content of the proton.

Searches for dark matter decaying into photons constrain its lifetime to be many orders of magnitude larger than the age of the Universe. A corollary statement is that the abundance of any particle that can decay into photons over cosmological timescales is constrained to be much smaller than the cold dark-matter density. We show that an $\textit{irreducible}$ freeze-in contribution to the relic density of axions is in violation of that statement in a large portion of the parameter space. This allows us to set stringent constraints on axions in the mass range $100\rm \;eV - 100\; MeV$. At $10\rm \; keV$ our constraint on a photophilic axion is $g_{a\gamma \gamma} \lesssim 8.1 \times 10^{-14}~{\rm GeV}^{-1}$, almost three orders of magnitude stronger than the bounds established using horizontal branch stars; at $100~{\rm keV}$ our constraint on a photophobic axion coupled to electrons is $g_{aee} \lesssim 8.0 \times 10^{-15}$, almost four orders of magnitude stronger than present results. Although we focus on axions, our argument is more general and can be extended to, for instance, sterile neutrinos.

Applying the dispersion approach we compute perturbative QCD corrections to the power suppressed soft contribution of $B \to \gamma \ell \nu$ at leading twist. QCD factorization for the $B \to \gamma^{\ast}$ form factors is demonstrated explicitly for the hard-collinear transverse polarized photon at one loop, with the aid of the method of regions. While the one-loop hard function is identical to the matching coefficient of the QCD weak current $\bar u \, \gamma_{\mu \perp} \, (1- \gamma_5) \, b$ in soft-collinear effective theory, the jet function from integrating out the hard-collinear fluctuations differs from the corresponding one entering the factorization formula of $B \to \gamma \ell \nu$. Furthermore, we evaluate the sub-leading power contribution to the $B \to \gamma$ form factors from the three-particle $B$-meson distribution amplitudes (DAs) at tree level. The soft contribution to the $B \to \gamma$ form factors from the three-particle $B$-meson DAs is shown to be of the same power compared with the corresponding hard correction, in contrast to the two-particle counterparts. Numerically the next-to-leading-order QCD correction to the soft two-particle contribution in $B \to \gamma$ form factors will induce an approximately $\left (10 \sim 20 \right) \%$ shift to the tree-level contribution at $\lambda_B(\mu_0)=354 \, {\rm MeV}$. Albeit of power suppression parametrically, the soft two-particle correction can decrease the leading power predictions for the $B \to \gamma$ form factors by an amount of $\left (10 \sim 30 \right) \%$ with the same value of $\lambda_B(\mu_0)$. Employing the phenomenological model of the three-particle $B$-meson DAs inspired by a QCD sum rule analysis, the three-particle contribution to the $B \to \gamma$ form factors is predicted to be of ${\cal O} (1 \%)$, at leading order in $\alpha_s$, with the default theory inputs.

Non topological solitons, Q-balls can arise in many particle theories with U(1) global symmetries. As was shown by Cohen et al. \cite{Qballscohen}, if the corresponding scalar field couples to massless fermions, large Q-balls are unstable and evaporate, producing a fermion flux proportional to the Q-ball's surface. In this paper we analyse Q-ball instabilities as a function of Q-ball size ans fermion mass. In particular, we construct an exact quantum-mechanical description of the evaporating Q-ball. This new construction provides an alternative method to compute Q-Ball's evaporation rates. We shall also find the new expression for the upper bound on evaporation as a function of the produced fermion mass and study the effects of Q ball's size on particle production.

Using Nonrelativistic QCD on the lattice we studied the mass spectrum of quarkonium systems nonperturbatively for a range of the bar quark mass. We determined two products of the matrix elements involved in quarkonium decays and studied the mass dependence of the results. We predict from our calculations the leptonic decay width of $\Upsilon$, and use the mass dependence to predict the leptonic decay width of $J/\psi$. These calculations agree with the experimental results. In lattice NRQCD an additional parameter $n$ is introduced, and we study the sensitivity of our results to the choice of $n$.

The scalar potential of the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM) admits the existence of vacua with non-vanishing expectation values of electrically and color charged fields. If such minima are deep enough, the physical electroweak vacuum is rendered unstable by quantum tunneling. By comparing the lifetime of the electroweak vacuum with the age of the universe, the MSSM parameter space can be constrained. Furthermore, the appearance of charge and color breaking minima associated with the stop sector is strongly correlated with the Higgs mass, which has been recently measured at the Large Hadron Collider. We carry out a metastability analysis in the stop sector of the MSSM, improving upon previous results. We exclude parts of the parameter space allowed by the Higgs mass measurement.

The scalar potential of the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM) admits the existence of vacua with non-vanishing expectation values of electrically and color charged fields. If such minima are deep enough, the physical electroweak vacuum is rendered unstable by quantum tunneling. By comparing the lifetime of the electroweak vacuum with the age of the universe, the MSSM parameter space can be constrained. Furthermore, the appearance of charge and color breaking minima associated with the stop sector is strongly correlated with the Higgs mass, which has been recently measured at the Large Hadron Collider. We carry out a metastability analysis in the stop sector of the MSSM, improving upon previous results. We exclude parts of the parameter space allowed by the Higgs mass measurement.

We present a new approach to the realization of hard fixed-order corrections in predictions for the processes probed in high energy colliding hadron beam devices, with some emphasis on the LHC and the future FCC devices. We show that the usual unphysical divergence of such corrections as one approaches the soft limit is removed in our approach, so that we would render the standard results to be closer to the observed exclusive distributions. We use the single Z/\gamma* production and decay to lepton pairs as our prototypical example, but we stress that the approach has general applicability. In this way, we open another part of the way to rigorous baselines for the determination of the theoretical precision tags for LHC physics, with an obvious generalization to the future FCC as well.

Recently, we studied the branching ratios of rare K and B decays in models with Minimal Flavor Violation (MFV) using the presently available information from the universal unitarity triangle analysis and from the measurements of Br(B -> Xs gamma), Br(B -> Xs l+l-) and Br(K+ -> pi+ nu nubar). We analyzed in detail possible scenarios with positive or negative interference of Standard Model (SM) and New Physics contributions. In particular, we derived upper bounds on various rare decays and pointed out an interesting triple correlation between B -> Xs gamma, B -> Xs l+l- and K+ -> pi+ nu nubar present in MFV models.

The quartic Higgs-gauge-boson coupling $g_{hhWW}$ is sensitive to the electroweak symmetry breaking mechanism, however, it is challenging to be measured at the large hadron collider. We show that the coupling can be well probed at future lepton colliders through di-Higgs boson production via the vector boson fusion channel. We perform a detailed simulation of $\ell^+\ell^-\to \nu\bar\nu hh\to 4b\,+ \!\!\not{\!\! E}_T$ with parton showering effects at $e^+e^-$, $\mu^+\mu^-$ and $e^-\mu^+$ colliders. We find that the regions of $g_{hhWW}/g_{hhWW}^{\rm SM}<0.86$ and $g_{hhWW}/g_{hhWW}^{\rm SM}>1.32$ can be discovered at the $5\sigma$ confidence level at the 10 TeV $\mu^+ \mu^-$ collider with an integrated luminosity of 3 ab$^{-1}$.

We classify first the full set of CP-violating Jarlskog invariants emerging in the ALP effective field theory (EFT) containing operators up to dimension-5. Then, we evaluate the leading short-distance effects to the EDMs up to two-loop order. The high sensitivity of EDMs to CP-violating ALP interactions is emphasised exploiting both the current and projected experimental sensitivities.

We study the structure of jets in proton-proton collisions at LHC energies using \textsc{Pythia} 8 Monte Carlo simulations. We demonstrate that the radial jet profiles exhibit scaling properties with charged-hadron event multiplicity over a broad transverse-momentum range. We also provide parametrizations of the jet profiles based on different statistically-motivated analytical distributions. Based on this we propose that the scaling behavior stems from fundamental statistical properties of jet fragmentation.

The method of NRQED is an adaptation of QED to bound systems. While it is fully equivalent to QED, it enables us to explore the QED bound states systematically as an expansion in the fine structure constant $\alpha$ and velocity ($\sim Z\alpha$) of the bound electron. I describe how to construct the NRQED Hamiltonian choosing recent works on the $\alpha (Z\alpha)$, $\alpha^2 (Z\alpha)$,$\alpha (Z\alpha)^2$, $\alpha (Z\alpha)^3$, and $\alpha^2 (Z\alpha)^2$ radiative corrections to the hyperfine structure of the muonium ground state as examples.

We study the contributions of the resonant states $K_0^{*}(1430)$ and $K_0^{*}(1950)$ in the three-body decays $B\to K\pi h$ (with $h=\pi, K$) in the perturbative QCD approach. The crucial nonperturbative input $F_{K\pi}(s)$ in the distribution amplitudes of the $S$-wave $K\pi$ system is derived from the matrix element of vacuum to $K\pi$ pair. The $CP$ averaged branching fraction of the quasi-two-body decay process $B\to K^*_0(1950)h\to K\pi h$ is about one order smaller than that of the corresponding decay $B\to K^*_0(1430)h\to K\pi h$. In view of the important contribution from the $S$-wave $K\pi$ system for the $B\to K\pi h$ decays, it is not appropriate to neglect the $K_0^{*}(1950)$ in the theoretical or experimental studies for the relevant three-body $B$ meson decays. The predictions in this work for the relevant decays are consistent with the existing experimental data.

We perform a model-exhaustive analysis of all possible beyond Standard Model (BSM) solutions to the $(g-2)_\mu$ anomaly to study production of the associated new states at future muon colliders, and formulate a no-lose theorem for the discovery of new physics if the anomaly is confirmed and weakly coupled solutions below the GeV scale are excluded. Our goal is to find the highest possible mass scale of new physics subject only to perturbative unitarity, and optionally the requirements of minimum flavour violation (MFV) and/or naturalness. We prove that a 3 TeV muon collider is guaranteed to discover all BSM scenarios in which $\Delta a_\mu$ is generated by SM singlets with masses above $\sim $ GeV; lighter singlets will be discovered by upcoming low-energy experiments. If new states with electroweak quantum numbers contribute to $(g-2)_\mu$, the minimal requirements of perturbative unitarity guarantee new charged states below $\mathcal{O}(100 {\rm TeV})$, but this is strongly disfavoured by stringent constraints on charged lepton flavour violating (CLFV) decays. Reasonable BSM theories that satisfy CLFV bounds by obeying Minimal Flavour Violation (MFV) and avoid generating two new hierarchy problems require the existence of at least one new charged state below $\sim 10$ TeV. This strongly motivates the construction of high-energy muon colliders, which are guaranteed to discover new physics: either by producing these new charged states directly, or by setting a strong lower bound on their mass, which would empirically prove that the universe is fine-tuned and violates the assumptions of MFV while somehow not generating large CLFVs. The former case is obviously the desired outcome, but the latter scenario would perhaps teach us even more about the universe by profoundly revising our understanding of naturalness, cosmological vacuum selection, and the SM flavour puzzle.

We continue the analysis of the possibility of supersymmetric $E_8$ as a family unification and grand unification theory, this time under the assumption that there is a vacuum gluino condensate, but that this condensate is {\it not} accompanied by dynamical generation of a mass gap in the pure $E_8$ gauge theory. Arguments supporting these assumptions are given. When the $E_8$ theory is coupled to supergravity, assuming vanishing of the cosmological constant and a supersymmetry breaking scale of around a TeV, we show that the gluino mass induced by gravitational coupling to the condensate is of order $10^{-3}$ eV or smaller, compatible with the fermion (and particularly the neutrino) mass spectrum. We suggest that composite scalar Higgs superfields can arise from a chiral glueball in the attractive 3875 channel (and possibly other channels), permitting the breaking of the original $E_8$ gauge group to a SO(10) grand unification group, times a SU(3) family symmetry group and an extra U(1) factor. A general analysis of the Higgs superpotential shows that in the absence of gravitational couplings, there is always a supersymmetric vacuum in the (unphysical) limit of infinite Higgs superfields. However, when gravitational couplings are included, dimensional analysis of the superpotential shows that the vacuum can be stabilized for finite Higgs superfields, with the occurrence of dynamical ${\cal F}$-type supersymmetry breaking. We conclude that an $E_8$ unification may be theoretically viable, providing an alternative paradigm for low energy model building, in which the supersymmetric partners of the standard model fermions are vectors, and in which the only chiral superfields are symmetry breaking Higgs fields.

In supersymmetric theories with extra dimensions, the Higgs and matter fields can be part of the gauge multiplet, so that the Yukawa interactions can arise from the gauge interactions. This leads to the possibility of gauge-Yukawa coupling unification, g_i=y_f, in the effective four dimensional theory after the initial gauge symmetry and the supersymmetry are broken upon orbifold compactification. We consider gauge-Yukawa unified models based on a variety of four dimensional symmetries, including SO(10), SU(5), Pati-Salam symmetry, trinification, and the Standard Model. Only in the case of Pati-Salam and the Standard Model symmetry, we do obtain gauge-Yukawa unification. Partial gauge-Yukawa unification is also briefly discussed.

We study more extensively and completely for global gauge anomalies with some semisimple gauge groups as initiated in ref.1. A detailed and complete proof or derivation is provided for the Z_2 global gauge anomaly given in ref.1 for a gauge theory with the semisimple gauge group SU(2)\times SU(2)\times SU(2) in D=4 dimensions and Weyl fermions in the irreducible representation (IR) \omega=(2,2,2) with 2 denoting the corresponding dimensions. This Z_2 anomaly was used in the discussions related to generic SO(10) and supersymmetric SO(10) unification theories^1 for the total generation numbers of fermions and mirror fermions. Our result^1 that the global anomaly coefficient formula is given by A(\omega)=exp[i{\pi}Q_2(\Box)]=-1 in this case with Q_2(\Box) being the Dynkin index for SU(8) in the fundamental IR (\Box)=(8) is also discussed, and as shown by our results^1 that the semisimple gauge transformations collectively may have physical consequences which do not correspond to successive simple gauge transformations. The similar result given in ref.1 for the Z_2 global gauge anomaly of gauge group SU(2)\times SU(2) is also discussed. We also give a complete proof for some relevent topological results. Gauge anomalies for the relevant semisimple gauge groups are also briefly discussed in higher dimensions, especially for self-contragredient representations, with discussions involving trace identities relating to ref.14. We also remark the connection of our results and discussions to the total generation numbers in relevant theories.

Minimal supersymmetric hybrid inflation based on a minimal Kahler potential predicts a spectral index n_s\gsim 0.98. On the other hand, WMAP three year data prefers a central value n_s \approx 0.95. We propose a class of supersymmetric hybrid inflation models based on the same minimal superpotential but with a non-minimal Kahler potential. Including radiative corrections using the one-loop effective potential, we show that the prediction for the spectral index is sensitive to the small non-minimal corrections, and can lead to a significantly red-tilted spectrum, in agreement with WMAP.

It has been suggested recently that in the presence of suitably "warped" extra dimensions, the low-energy limit of pure gauge field theory may contain massive elementary vector bosons localised on a "brane", but no elementary Higgs scalars. We provide non-perturbative evidence in favour of this conjecture through numerical lattice measurements of the static quark-antiquark force of pure SU(2) gauge theory in three dimensions, of which one is warped. We consider also warpings leading to massless localised vector bosons, and again find evidence supporting the perturbative prediction, even though the gauge coupling diverges far from the brane in this case.

The perturbation of a light field might affect preheating and hence generate a contribution to the spectrum and non-gaussianity of the curvature perturbation \zeta. The field might appear directly in the preheating model (curvaton-type preheating) or indirectly through its effect on a mass or coupling (modulated preheating). We give general expressions for \zeta based on the \delta N formula, and apply them to the cases of quadratic and quartic chaotic inflation. For the quadratic case, curvaton-type preheating is ineffective in contributing to \zeta, but modulated preheating can be effective. For quartic inflation, curvaton-type preheating may be effective but the usual \delta N formalism has to be modified. We see under what circumstances the recent numerical simulation of Bond et al. [0903.3407] may be enough to provide a rough estimate for this case. This paper is dedicated to the memory of Lev Kofman who died on 12th November 2009

As the current nuclear PDF analyses are mainly constrained by fixed-target Drell-Yan and deeply inelastic scattering data only the quark nuclear modifications at fairly large $x$ values are in a good control. Inclusive pion production in d+Au collisions at RHIC provides some constraints for gluons but due to the limited kinematic reach of the data the gluon modifications remain uncertain especially at small values of $x$. In this talk, we discuss how the existing data from p+Pb collisions at the LHC can improve the nuclear PDF fits and which measurements would be sensitive to the small-$x$ gluons. In particular, we consider inclusive hadron production, compare this to direct photons, and show estimates of the effect of CMS dijet measurements to the uncertainty of nuclear gluon distributions.

We consider the color spin locking (CSL) phase of two-flavor quark matter at zero temperature for nonlocal instantaneous, separable interactions. We employ a Lorentzian-type form factor allowing a parametric interpolation between the sharp (Nambu-Jona-Lasinio (NJL) model) and very smooth (e.g. Gaussian) cut-off models for systematic studies of the influence on the CSL condensate the deviation from the NJL model entails. This smoothing of the NJL model form factor shows advantageous features for the phenomenology of compact stars: (i) a lowering of the critical chemical potential for the onset of the chiral phase transition as a prerequisite for stability of hybrid stars with extended quark matter cores and (ii) a reduction of the smallest pairing gap to the order of 100 keV, being in the range of values interesting for phenomenological studies of hybrid star cooling evolution.

The $SU(2)_L\times U(1)_Y$ invariance of the Standard Model Effective Field Theory (SMEFT) predicts multiple restrictions in the space of Wilson coefficients of $U(1)_{em}$ invariant effective lagrangians such as the Low-energy Effective Field Theory (LEFT), used for low-energy flavor-physics observables, or the Higgs Effective Field Theory (HEFT) in unitary gauge, appropriate for weak-scale observables. In this work, we derive and list all such predictions for semileptonic operators up to dimension 6. We find that these predictions can be expressed as 2223 linear relations among the HEFT/LEFT Wilson coefficients, that are completely independent of any assumptions about the alignment of the mass and flavor bases. These relations connect diverse experimental searches such as rare meson decays, high-$p_T$ dilepton searches, top decays, $Z$-pole observables, charged lepton flavor violating observables and non-standard neutrino interaction searches. We demonstrate how these relations can be used to derive strong indirect constraints on multiple Wilson coefficients that are currently either weakly constrained from direct experiments or have no direct bound at all. These relations also imply, in general, that evidence for new physics in a particular search channel must be accompanied by correlated anomalies in other channels.

The bremsstrahlung spectrum of photons accompanying $W$ pair production depends on the decay width of the unstable $W$ bosons. The dependence arises from the interference between emission at different stages of the production and decay process.

We propose a new scenario of leptogenesis, which is triggered by a first-order phase transition (FOPT). The right-handed neutrinos (RHNs) are massless in the old vacuum, while they acquire a mass in the new vacuum bubbles, and the mass gap is huge compared with the FOPT temperature. The ultra-relativistic bubble walls sweep the RHNs into the bubbles, where the RHNs experience fast decay and generate the lepton asymmetry, which is further converted to the baryon asymmetry of the Universe (BAU). Since the RHNs are out of equilibrium inside the bubble, the generated BAU does not suffer from the thermal bath washout. We first discuss the general feature of such a FOPT leptogenesis mechanism, and then realize it in an extended $B-L$ model. The gravitational waves from $U(1)_{B-L}$ breaking could be detected at the future interferometers.

Non-relativistic physics is often associated with atomic physics and low-energy phenomena of the strong interactions between nuclei and quarks. In this review we cover three topics in contemporary high-energy physics at or close to the TeV scale, where non-relativistic dynamics plays an important if not defining role. We first discuss in detail the third-order corrections to top-quark pair production in electron-positron collisions in the threshold region, which plays a major role at a future high-energy e+ e- collider. Threshold effects are also relevant in the production of heavy particles in hadronic collisions, where in addition to the Coulomb force soft gluon radiation contributes to enhanced quantum corrections. We review the joint resummation of non-relativistic and soft gluon effects for pair production of top quarks and supersymmetric particles to next-to-next-to-leading logarithmic accuracy. The third topic deals with pair annihilation of dark matter particles within the framework of the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model. Here the electroweak Yukawa force generated by the exchange of gauge and Higgs bosons can cause large "Sommerfeld" enhancements of the annihilation cross section in some parameter regions.

A non--singlet QCD analysis of the structure function $F_2(x,q^2)$ in LO, NLO, NNLO and N$^3$LO is performed based on the world data for charged lepton scattering. We determine the valence quark parton densities and present their parameterization and that of the correlated errors in a wide range of $x$ and $Q^2$. In the analysis we determined the QCD--scale $\Lambda_{\rm QCD, N_f = 4}^{\bar{\rm MS}} = 265 \pm 27 \MeV {\rm (NLO)}, 226 \pm 25 \MeV {\rm (NNLO)}, 234 \pm 26 \MeV {\rm (N^3LO)}$, with a remainder uncertainty of $\pm 2\MeV$ for the yet unknown 4--loop anomalous dimension, corresponding to $\alpha_s(M_Z^2) = 0.1148 \pm 0.0019 {\rm NLO}, 0.1134 {\tiny{\begin{array}{c} +0.0019 -0.0021 \end{array}}} {\rm NNLO}, 0.1141 {\tiny{\begin{array}{c} +0.0020 -0.0022 \end{array}}} {\rm N^3LO}$. A comparison is performed to other determinations of the QCD scale and $\alpha_s(M_Z^2)$ in deeply inelastic scattering. The higher twist contributions of $F_2^p(x,Q^2)$ and $F_2^d(x,Q^2)$ are extracted in the large $x$ region, subtracting the twist--2 contributions obtained in the NLO, NNLO and N$^3$LO analysis.

With the LEP II Higgs search approaching exclusion limits on low values of $\tan \beta \sim 2$ it becomes increasingly important to investigate physical quantities sensitive to large masses of a pseudoscalar Higgs mass. This regime is difficult and over a large range of $\tan \beta$ impossible to cover at the LHC proton proton collider. In this paper we focus on the achievable statistical precision of the Higgs decay into two photons at a future $\gamma \gamma$ collider (PLC) in the MSSM mass range below 130 GeV. The MSSM and SM predictions for $\Gamma (H \longrightarrow \gamma \gamma)$ can differ by up to 10 % even in the decoupling limit of large $m_A$. We summarize recent progress in both the theoretical understanding of the background process $\gamma \gamma \longrightarrow q \bar{q}$, $q=\{b,c\}$, and in the expected detector performance allow for a high accuracy of the lightest MSSM or SM Higgs boson decay into a $b \bar{b}$ pair. We find that for optimized but still realistic detector and accelerator assumptions, statistically a 1.4% accuracy is feasible after about four years of collecting data for a Higgs boson mass which excludes $\tan \beta <2$.

We perform a complete one-loop computation of the two-body flavour-changing top decays $t \rightarrow c h$ and $t \rightarrow c V$ ($V= \gamma, Z$), within the aligned two-Higgs-doublet model. We evaluate the impact of the model parameters on the associated branching ratios, taking into account constraints from flavour data and measurements of the Higgs properties. Assuming that the $125$~GeV Higgs corresponds to the lightest CP-even scalar of the CP-conserving aligned two-Higgs-doublet model, we find that the rates for such flavour-changing top decays lie below the expected sensitivity of the future high-luminosity phase of the LHC. Measurements of the Higgs signal strength in the di-photon channel are found to play an important role in limiting the size of the $t \rightarrow c h$ decay rate when the charged scalar of the model is light.

In this article, we study the Coulomb corrections to the Delbrueck scattering amplitude. We consider the limit when the energy of the photon is much less than the electron mass. The calculations are carried out in the coordinate representation using the exact relativistic Green function of an electron in a Coulomb field. The resulting relative corrections are of the order of a few percent for scattering on for a large charge of the nucleus. We compare the corrections with the corresponding ones calculated through the dispersion integral of the pair production cross section and also with the magnetic loop contribution to the g-factor of a bound electron. The last one is in a good agreement with our results but the corrections calculated through the dispersion relation are not.

This is the first of two papers in which we study real and virtual photon-proton scattering in a nonperturbative framework. We classify different contributions to this process and identify the leading contributions at high energies. We then study the renormalisation of the photon-quark-antiquark vertex that occurs in the leading contributions. We find something like the dipole picture in one of these contributions but also find two correction terms which can potentially become large at small photon virtualities. In the second paper we will discuss the additional approximations and assumptions that are necessary to obtain the dipole model of high energy scattering from the results found here.

In the Higgs search at the LHC, a light Higgs boson (115 GeV <~ M_H <~ 130 GeV) is not excluded by experimental data. In this mass range, the width of the Standard Model Higgs boson is more than four orders of magnitude smaller than its mass. The zero-width approximation is hence expected to be an excellent approximation. We show that this is not always the case. The inclusion of off-shell contributions is essential to obtain an accurate Higgs signal normalisation at the 1% precision level. For gg (-> H) -> VV, V= W,Z, O(10%) corrections occur due to an enhanced Higgs signal in the region M_VV > 2 M_V, where also sizable Higgs-continuum interference occurs. We discuss how experimental selection cuts can be used to exclude this region in search channels where the Higgs invariant mass cannot be reconstructed. We note that the H -> VV decay modes in weak boson fusion are similarly affected.

QCD instantons are known to produce deeply bound diquarks. We study whether it may be used as building blocks in the formation of multiquark states, in particular pentaquarks and dibaryons. A simple model is presented in which the lowest scalar diquark (and possibly the tensor one) can be treated as an independent ``body'', with the same color and (approximately) the same mass as a constituent (anti)quark. In it a new symmetry exists between states with the same number of ``bodies'' but different number of quarks appear, in particular the 3-``body'' pentaquarks can be naturally related to some excited baryons. The limitations of this model are seen from the fact that it leads to light dibaryon $H$. Another reported work is based on a calculation of a large set of correlation functions for nonlocal operators with 4 to 6 light quarks in the Random Instanton Liquid Model (RILM). The effective interaction between diquarks is studied and found to posses a strongly {\em repulsive core}, due to the Pauli principle for quark zero modes.

The QCD gauge field is modeled as an ensemble of statistically independent selfdual and antiselfdual regions. This model is motivated from instanton physics. The scale anomaly then allows to relate the topological susceptibility to the gluon condensate. With the help of Wittens formula for m_eta' and an estimate of the suppression of the gluon condensate due to light quarks the mass of the eta' can be related to f_pi and the physical gluon condensate. We get the quite satisfactory value m_eta'=884+-116 MeV. Using the physical eta' mass as an input it is in princple possible to get information about the interaction between instantons and anti-instantons.

We investigate the zero temperature chiral phase transition in an SU(N) gauge theory as the number of fermions $N_f$ is varied. We argue that there exists a critical number of fermions $N_f^c$, above which there is no chiral symmetry breaking or confinement, and below which both chiral symmetry breaking and confinement set in. We estimate $N_f^c$ and discuss the nature of the phase transition.

Recent results from the experimental collaborations at LHC give hints of a resonance in the diphoton channel at an invariant mass of 750 GeV. We show that such a scalar resonance would be possible in an $U(1)$ extension of the SM where the extended symmetry is hidden and yet to be discovered. We explore the possibilities of accommodating this excess by introducing a minimal extension to the matter content and highlight the parameter space that can accommodate the observed diphoton resonance in the model. The model also predicts new interesting signals that may be observed at the current LHC run.

We carry out three-dimensional numerical simulations to investigate the formation rate of semilocal strings. We find that the back-reaction of the gauge fields on the scalar field evolution is substantial, and leads to a significant formation rate in the parameter regime where the semilocal strings are classically stable. The formation rate can be as large as a third of that for cosmic strings, depending on the model parameters.

We study the modification of the multiplicity distributions in MLLA due to the presence of a QCD medium. The medium is introduced though a multiplicative constant ($f_{med}$) in the soft infrared parts of the kernels of QCD evolution equations. Using the asymptotic ansatz for quark and gluons mean multiplicities $<n_G>=e^{\gamma y}$ and $<n_Q>=r^{-1}e^{\gamma y}$ respectively, we study two cases: fixed $\gamma$ as previously considered in the literature, and fixed $\alpha_s$. We find opposite behaviors of the dispersion of the multiplicity distributions with increasing $f_{med}$ in both cases. For fixed $\gamma$ the dispersion decreases, while for fixed $\alpha_s$ it increases.

The analysis of tagged B_s -> J/psi phi decays determines the CP phase phi_s in B_s-anti-B_s mixing with a two-fold ambiguity. The solutions differ in the sign of cos(phi_s) which equals the sign of the width difference Delta Gamma_s among the two B_s mass eigenstates. We point out that this ambiguity can be removed with the help of B_s -> D_s K decays. We compare untagged and tagged strategies and find the tagged analysis more promising. The removal of the sign ambiguity in Delta Gamma_s can be done with relatively low statistics and could therefore be a target for the early stage of B_s -> D_s K studies.

From the existing data on $K^+\to\pi^+ e^+ e^-$ we predict the ratio $R= B(K^+\to\pi^+\mu^+\mu^-)/B(K^+\to\pi^+ e^+ e^-)$ to be larger than 0.23, in slight disagreement with the recent measurement $R = 0.167 \pm 0.036$. Consequences for the $K^\pm \to\pi^\pm e^+ e^-$ charge asymmetries and for the $K_L\to\pi^0 e^+ e^-$ mode are also discussed.

We note that the recent direct measurement of the top quark mass at $173.3 \pm 5.6 (stat) \pm 6.2 (syst)$ by D0 collaboration severely constrains the theoretically attractive infra-red fixed point scenario of the top quark Yukawa coupling in supersymmetric GUTs. For one-step unified models the above mentioned measurement bounds the arbitrary but experimentally determinable parameter $\tan \beta$ to the range $1.3 \le \tan \beta \le 2.1$. Further crunch on the top quark mass may determine $\tan \beta$ even more accurately within the fixed point scenario. On the other hand an experimental value of $\tan \beta > 2.1$ will rule out the fixed point scenario bounding $h^2_t(M_X)/4 \pi$ to 0.022 from above.

We discuss the relation between the ratio of the proton-deuteron (pd) Drell-Yan cross section to the proton-proton (pp) one \Delta_{(T)} \sigma_{pd}/2 \Delta_{(T)} \sigma_{pp} and the flavor asymmetry in polarized light-antiquark distributions. Using a recent formalism of the polarized pd Drell-Yan process, we show that the difference between the pp and pd cross sections is valuable for finding not only the flavor asymmetry in longitudinally polarized antiquark distributions but also the one in transversity distributions. It is especially important that we point out the possibility of measuring the flavor asymmetry in the transversity distributions because it cannot be found in W production processes and inclusive lepton scattering due to the chiral-odd property.

We consider Higgs pair production at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) in a Randall-Sundrum scenario containing a radion field. It is shown that the enhanced effective coupling of the radion to gluons, together with contributions from a low-lying radion pole, can provide larger event rates compared to most new physics possibilities considered so far. We present the results for both an intermediate mass Higgs and a heavy Higgs, with a detailed discussion of the background elimination procedure.

We discuss inflation and dark matter in the inert doublet model coupled non-minimally to gravity where the inert doublet is the inflaton and the neutral scalar part of the doublet is the dark matter candidate. We calculate the various inflationary parameters like $n_s$, $r$ and $P_s$ and then proceed to the reheating phase where the inflaton decays into the Higgs and other gauge bosons which are non-relativistic owing to high effective masses. These bosons further decay or annihilate to give relativistic fermions which are finally responsible for reheating the universe. At the end of the reheating phase, the inert doublet which was the inflaton enters into thermal equilibrium with the rest of the plasma and its neutral component later freezes out as cold dark matter with a mass of about 2 TeV.

We present first results for leading hadron suppression in small collision systems, from a convolved radiative and collisional pQCD energy loss model which receives a short path length correction to the radiative energy loss. We find that the short path length correction is exceptionally large for light flavor final states in both small and large collision systems, due to the disproportionate size of the correction for gluons. We examine various assumptions underlying the energy loss model through the calculation of energy loss weighted expectation values of ratios assumed small by the various assumptions. This calculation shows that the large formation time assumption, which is utilized by most contemporary energy loss models, is invalid for a large portion of the phenomenologically relevant parameter space.

We present a comprehensive phenomenological analysis of the allowed hybrid textures of neutrinos. Out of a total of sixty hybrid textures with one equality between the elements of neutrino mass matrix and one texture zero only twenty three are found to be viable at 99% C.L. whereas the earlier analysis found fifty four to be viable. We examine the phenomenological implications of the allowed hybrid textures including Majorana type CP-violating phases, 1-3 mixing angle and Dirac type CP-violating phase, $\delta$. We, also, obtain lower bound on effective Majorana mass for all the allowed hybrid textures.

High-energy partons ($E \gg T$) traveling through a quark-gluon plasma lose energy by splitting via bremsstrahlung and pair production. Regardless of whether or not the quark-gluon plasma itself is strongly coupled, an important question lying at the heart of philosophically different approaches to energy loss is whether the high-energy partons of an in-medium shower can be thought of as a collection of individual particles, or whether their coupling to each other is also so strong that a description as high-energy `particles' is inappropriate. We discuss some possible theorists' tests of this question for simple situations (e.g. an infinite, non-expanding plasma) using thought experiments and first-principles quantum field theory calculations (with some simplifying approximations). The physics of in-medium showers is substantially affected by the Landau-Pomeranchuk-Midgal (LPM) effect, and our proposed tests require use of what might be called `next-to-leading order' LPM results, which account for quantum interference between consecutive splittings. The complete set of such results is not yet available for QCD but is already available for the theory of large-$N_f$ QED. We therefore use large-$N_f$ QED as an example, presenting numerical results as a function of $N_f\alpha$, where $\alpha$ is the strength of the coupling at the relevant high-energy scale characterizing splittings of the high-energy particles.

We systematically provide the details of both the finite difference method supported by Kreiss-Oliger dissipation and the finite volume method with seventh order weighted essentially non-oscillatory scheme. To ensure the reliability of the code, we perform the comparison of the simulation results with theoretically obtainable solutions. In order to understand and characterize the error accumulation behavior of the implementations when neutrino self-interactions are switched on, we also analyze the evolution of the deviation of the conserved quantities for different values of simulation parameters. We report the performance of our code with both CPUs and GPUs. The public version of the \cosenu~package is available at \url{https://github.com/COSEnu/COSEnu}.

The production of a pair of charged Higgs bosons from $e^{+}e^{-}$ annihilation in the presence of a circularly polarized laser field is investigated in Inert Higgs doublet Model (IHDM) at ${e}^{+}{e}^{-}$ colliders. We have derived the analytical expression for the laser-assisted differential cross section by using the Dirac-Volkov formalism at leading order including the $Z$ and $\gamma$ diagrams. Since the laser-free cross section of this process depends, in the lowest order, only on the mass of the charged Higgs boson and the energy of the center of mass, we have analyzed the dependence of the total laser-assisted cross section on these parameters and also on the laser parameters such as the number of photons exchanged, the laser field intensity and its frequency. The results found indicate that the electromagnetic field decreases the order of magnitude of the total cross section as much as the laser field intensity increases or by decreasing its frequency. Moreover, it becomes high for low charged Higgs masses and low center of mass energies.

We investigate the scattering of two scalar glueballs in pure YM theory, using the well known dilaton potential. We perform the calculations considering a glueball mass of about $m_G \approx 1.7$ GeV, as predicted by lattice QCD. We begin with the tree-level theory, but the question about the presence of a bound state needs a deeper study to be answered. Thus we unitarize the theory through a self energy loop function consisting of a single subtraction at the single glueball resonance pole. We show that this choice is inconsistent as it leads to the emergence of a ghost-like state with negative norm. This problem is related with the sign of the coefficient in the first order term of the expansion of the reverse unitarized amplitude. We briefly discuss the solution which consists of an additional subtraction in the loop function, as presented in Eur.Phys.J.C 82 (2022) 5, 487.

The one loop order calculation provides a satisfactory agreement with the data for the mesonic spectrum and for radiative decays. Higher order effects for strong decays of $\rho$ and $K^*$ are estimated to be large. We also discuss the role of the flavour mixing determinantal interaction.

Effects of a flavor singlet vector interaction in the Polyakov - Nambu - Jona-Lasinio (PNJL) model are studied in combination with the axial U(1) breaking Kobayashi - Maskawa - 't Hooft interaction. Using a consistent cutoff scheme we investigate the QCD phase diagram and its dependence on the vector coupling strength $g_v$. We find that the first order chiral phase transition at moderate baryon chemical potentials and its critical point, a generic feature of most NJL-type models without vector coupling, disappear for sufficiently large values of $g_v$ that are consistent with lattice QCD results at imaginary chemical potential. The influence of non-zero $g_v$ on the curvature of the crossover boundary in the $T-\mu$ plane close to $\mu = 0$ is also examined.

We consider a novel mechanism to realize exothermic dark matter with dark mesons in the limit of approximate flavor symmetry in a dark QCD. We introduce a local dark $U(1)'$ symmetry to communicate between dark mesons and the Standard Model via $Z'$ portal by partially gauging the dark flavor symmetry with flavor-dependent charges for cancelling chiral anomalies in the dark sector. After the dark local $U(1)'$ is broken spontaneously by the VEV of a dark Higgs, there appear small mass splittings between dark quarks, consequently, leading to small split masses for dark mesons, required to explain the electron recoil excess in XENON1T by the inelastic scattering between dark mesons and electron. We propose a concrete benchmark model for split dark mesons based on $SU(3)_L\times SU(3)_R/ SU(3)_V$ flavor symmetry and $SU(N_c)$ color group and show that there exists a parameter space making a better fit to the XENON1T data with two correlated peaks from exothermic processes and satisfying the correct relic density, current experimental and theoretical constraints.

Magnetized strange quark stars, composed of strange quark matter (SQM) and self-bound by strong interactions, can be formed if the energy per baryon of magnetized SQM is less than that of the most stable $^{56}$Fe nucleus under the zero external pressure and temperature. Utilizing the MIT bag model description of magnetized SQM under charge neutrality and beta equilibrium conditions, the corresponding absolute stability window in the parameter space of the theory is determined. It is shown that there exists the maximum magnetic field strength allowed by the condition of absolute stability of magnetized SQM. The value of this field, $H\sim3\cdot10^{18}$ G, represents the upper bound on the magnetic field strength which can be reached in a strongly magnetized strange quark star.

In this work, we present the package {\sc NeatIBP}, which automatically generates small-size integration-by-parts (IBP) identities for Feynman integrals. Based on the syzygy and module intersection techniques, the generated IBP identities' propagator degree is controlled and thus the size of the system of IBP identities is shorter than that generated by the standard Laporta algorithm. This package is powered by the computer algebra systems {\sc Mathematica} and {\sc Singular}, and the library {\sc SpaSM}. It is parallelized on the level of Feynman integral sectors. The generated small-size IBP identities can subsequently be used for either finite field reduction or analytic reduction. We demonstrate the capabilities of this package on several multi-loop IBP examples.

Composite dark matter candidates, which can arise from new strongly-coupled sectors, are well-motivated and phenomenologically interesting, particularly in the context of asymmetric generation of the relic density. In this work, we employ lattice calculations to study the electromagnetic form factors of electroweak-neutral dark-matter baryons for a three-color, QCD-like theory with Nf = 2 and 6 degenerate fermions in the fundamental representation. We calculate the (connected) charge radius and anomalous magnetic moment, both of which can play a significant role for direct detection of composite dark matter. We find minimal Nf dependence in these quantities. We generate mass-dependent cross-sections for dark matter-nucleon interactions and use them in conjunction with experimental results from XENON100, excluding dark matter candidates of this type with masses below 10 TeV.
