In the following talk let us review the main ideas and constraints which shaped the program version of today and enabled it widespread use. We will concentrate specially on conflicting requirements originating from the properties of QED matrix elements on one side and degrading (evolving) with time standards of event record(s). These issues, quite common in other modular software applications, become more and more difficult to handle as precision requirements become higher. |

magnetized isospin asymmetric nuclear matter are investigated within a chiral
effective model, including the contributions of the Dirac sea (DS) to the
self-energies of the nucleons. Within the model, the masses of these mesons are
calculated from their interactions with the nucleons and the scalar
($\sigma\sim(\langle\bar u u\rangle+\langle \bar d d \rangle)$,
$\zeta\sim\langle {\bar s}s\rangle$ and $\delta\sim(\langle{\bar u}
u\rangle-\langle {\bar d} d\rangle)$) fields. The Dirac sea contributions are
observed to lead to an enhancement (reduction) of the quark condensates with
increase in magnetic field, an effect called `(inverse) magnetic catalysis'.
These contributions are observed to appreciably modify the open charm meson
masses calculated within the chiral effective model. In the presence of an
external magnetic field, there is mixing of the pseudoscalar and the vector
mesons (PV mixing), leading to as a drop (increase) in the mass of the
pseudoscalar (longitudinal component of the vector) meson. The effects of the
(inverse) magnetic catalysis, in addition to the PV mixing and Landau level
contribtuions (for charged mesons) are observed to lead to significant
modifications to the masses of the open charm mesons. These can modify the
decay widths of the charmonium states to open charm mesons, e.g.,
$\psi(3770)\rightarrow D\bar D$, as well as $D^*\rightarrow D\pi$ (and $\bar
{D^*}\rightarrow {\bar D}\pi$), which can affect the production of the open
charm and charmonium states in ultra relativistic peripheral heavy ion

to $\Gamma(\Upsilon(4S)\to\Upsilon(1S)\pi^+\pi^-)$ is predicted to be
$R_4=1.8{-}4.5$, which is about two orders of magnitude larger than the
expectation of the conventional hadronic transition theory, and is supported by
the new BaBar measurement. The widths of the $\eta$ transitions of
$\Upsilon(5S)$ are found to be sensitive to the coupling constants
$g_{\Upsilon(5S)B^{(*)}B^{(*)}}$ due to a large cancelation between
contributions from the $B\bar{B}$, $B^*\bar{B}+c.c.$, and $B^*\bar{B}^*$
channels, and only a rough estimate
$\Gamma(\Upsilon(5S)\to\Upsilon(1S,2S)\eta)=10{-}200$ KeV can be given. The
widths of the $\eta'$ transitions of $\Upsilon(4S,5S)$ are also discussed, and
they could be much smaller than that of the corresponding $\eta$ transitions
mainly due to the tiny phase space.

the $Z_c(3900)$ state by analyzing its strong decays. We found that $Z_c(3900)$

using a Skyrme model constructed with an effective Lagrangian which includes
the $\rho$ and $\omega$ vector mesons as hidden gauge bosons and is valid up to
$O(p^4)$ in chiral expansion including the homogeneous Wess-Zumino terms. With
the two input values of pion decay constant and the lowest lying vector meson
mass which can be fixed in free space, all the other low energy constants in
the effective Lagrangian are determined by their master formulas derived from
holographic QCD models, which allows us to study the baryonic matter properties
with no additional free parameters and thus without ambiguities. We find that
the $\omega$ field that figures in the homogeneous Wess-Zumino term plays a
crucial role in the skyrmion structure and its matter properties. The most
striking and intriguing observation is that the pion decay constant that
smoothly drops with increasing density in the Skyrmion phase stops decreasing
at $n_{1/2}^{}$ at which the skyrmions in medium fractionize into
half-skyrmions and remains nearly constant in the half-skyrmion phase. In
accordance with the large $N_c$ consideration, the baryon mass also stays
non-scaling in the half-skyrmion phase. This feature is supported by the
nuclear effective field theory with the parameters of the Lagrangian scaling
modified at the skyrmion--half-skyrmion phase transition. Our exploration also
uncovers the crucial role of the $\omega$ meson in multi-baryon systems as well
as in the structure of a single skyrmion.

field | null | null | null | null | hep-ph | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ | In this paper we examine the possibility of dilute axion stars converting to
photons in the weak, large-scale magnetic field of the Milky Way and show that
they can resonate with the surrounding plasma and produce a sizable signal. We
consider two possibilities for the plasma: free electrons and HII regions. In
the former case, we argue that the frequency of the photons will be too small
to be observed even by space-based radio telescopes. In the latter case, their
frequency is larger, safely above the solar wind cut-off. We provide an
estimate of the flux as a function of the decay constant and show that for
$f_{a} < 5 \times 10^{11} \text{GeV}$, the signal will be above the radio
emission of the solar system's planets and it could potentially be detected by
the NCLE instrument which is on board the Chang'e-4 spacecraft. Finally, we
calculate the time scale of decay of the axion star and demonstrate that
back-reaction can be neglected for all physically interesting values of the
decay constant, while the minimum time scale of decay is in the order of a few
hours.

] | In this paper we examine the possibility of dilute axion stars converting to photons in the weak, large-scale magnetic field of the Milky Way and show that they can resonate with the surrounding plasma and produce a sizable signal. We consider two possibilities for the plasma: free electrons and HII regions. In the former case, we argue that the frequency of the photons will be too small to be observed even by space-based radio telescopes. In the latter case, their frequency is larger, safely above the solar wind cut-off. We provide an estimate of the flux as a function of the decay constant and show that for $f_{a} < 5 \times 10^{11} \text{GeV}$, the signal will be above the radio emission of the solar system's planets and it could potentially be detected by the NCLE instrument which is on board the Chang'e-4 spacecraft. Finally, we calculate the time scale of decay of the axion star and demonstrate that back-reaction can be neglected for all physically interesting values of the decay constant, while the minimum time scale of decay is in the order of a few hours. |

effects can affect the region of parameters in which successful soft
leptogenesis induced by CP violation in the right-handed sneutrino mixing is
possible. We find that for decays which occur in the intermediate to strong
washout regimes for all flavours, the produced total $B-L$ asymmetry can be up
to a factor ${\cal O}(30)$ larger than the one predicted with flavour effects
being neglected. This enhancement, permits slightly larger values of the

ultraviolet divergences in the Higgs potential in weakly-coupled, natural
extensions of the Standard Model. There is a separate sum rule for the
cancellation of the quadratic and logarithmic divergences, and their forms
depend on whether the divergences are canceled by same-spin or opposite-spin
partners. These sum rules can be applied to mass eigenstates and conveniently
used for direct collider tests of naturalness. We study in detail the
feasibility of testing these sum rules in the top sector at a future $100\TeV$
proton collider within two benchmark models, the Little Higgs (LH) and the
Maximally Symmetric Composite Higgs (MSCH). We show how the two ingredients of
the sum rules, the top partner masses and their Yukawa couplings to the Higgs,
can be measured with sufficient accuracy to provide a highly non-trivial
quantitative test of the sum rules. In particular, we study observables
sensitive to the sign of the top partner Yukawa, which is crucial for verifying
the sum rules but is notoriously difficult to measure. We demonstrate that in
the benchmark models under study, a statistically significant discrimination
between the two possible signs of each Yukawa will be feasible with a 30

(fRG) approach. The fRG is a nonperturbative continuum field approach, in which
quantum, thermal and density fluctuations are integrated in successively with
the evolution of the renormalization group (RG) scale. The fRG results for the
QCD phase structure and the location of the critical end point (CEP), the QCD
equation of state (EoS), the magnetic EoS, baryon number fluctuations
confronted with recent experimental measurements, various critical exponents,
spectral functions in the critical region, the dynamical critical exponent,
etc., are presented. Recent estimates of the location of the CEP from
first-principle QCD calculations within fRG and Dyson-Schwinger Equations,
which passes through lattice benchmark tests at small baryon chemical
potentials, converge in a rather small region at baryon chemical potentials of
about 600 MeV. A region of inhomogeneous instability indicated by a negative
wave function renormalization is found with $\mu_B\gtrsim 420$ MeV. It is found
that the non-monotonic dependence of the kurtosis of the net-proton number
distributions on the beam collision energy observed in experiments, could arise
from the increasingly sharp crossover in the regime of low collision energy.

known as SM4. Recently it has been shown that SM4, which is a very simple
extension of the standard model, can successfully explain several anomalies
observed in the CP violation parameters of $B$ and $B_s$ mesons. We find that
in this model due to the additional contributions coming from the heavy $t'$
quark in the loop, the branching ratios and other observables in rare
$\Lambda_b$ decays deviate significantly from their SM values. Some of these
modes are within the reach of LHCb experiment and search for such channels are
strongly argued.

] | The rare decays of $\Lambda_b$ baryon governed by the quark level transitions $ b \to s$, are investigated in the fourth quark generation model popularly known as SM4. Recently it has been shown that SM4, which is a very simple extension of the standard model, can successfully explain several anomalies observed in the CP violation parameters of $B$ and $B_s$ mesons. We find that in this model due to the additional contributions coming from the heavy $t'$ quark in the loop, the branching ratios and other observables in rare $\Lambda_b$ decays deviate significantly from their SM values. Some of these modes are within the reach of LHCb experiment and search for such channels are strongly argued. |

This doubling of supersymmetry modifies the Higgs sector of the theory, with
consequences for the masses, mixings and couplings of the MSSM Higgs bosons,
whose phenomenological consequences we explore in this paper. The mass of the
lightest neutral Higgs boson $h$ is independent of $\tan \beta$ at the tree
level, and the decoupling limit is realized whatever the values of the heavy
Higgs boson masses. Radiative corrections to the top quark and stop squarks
dominate over those due to particles in $N=2$ gauge multiplets. We assume that
these radiative corrections fix $m_h \simeq 125$ GeV, whatever the masses of
the other neutral Higgs bosons $H, A$, a scenario that we term the $h$2MSSM.
Since the $H, A$ bosons decouple from the $W$ and $Z$ bosons in the $h$2MSSM at
tree level, only the LHC constraints on $H, A$ and $H^\pm$ couplings to
fermions are applicable. These and the indirect constraints from LHC

Based on the argument of universality, we discuss the order of the phase
transition associated with the global symmetry breaking by studying the
renormalization group flow of the corresponding linear sigma model at finite
temperature, which is calculated by utilizing the $\epsilon$-expansion
technique at the one-loop order. Our analysis indicates that some composite

mixing angle is approximately the Cabibbo angle, i.e. QLC relation. We argue
that it is not plausible that this deviation from maximality, be it a

calculated the required corrections to the exactly bimaximal neutrino mass
matrix ansatz necessary to account for the solar mass difference and the solar
mixing angle. We point out that the relative size of these two corrections
depends strongly on the hierarchy case under consideration. We find that the
inverted hierarchy case with opposite CP parities, which is known to guarantee
the RGE stability of the solar mixing angle, offers the most plausible scenario
for a high energy origin of a QLC-corrected bimaximal neutrino mass matrix.
This possibility may allow us to explain the QLC relation in connection with
the origin of the charged fermion mass matrices.

] | Latest measurements have revealed that the deviation from a maximal solar mixing angle is approximately the Cabibbo angle, i.e. QLC relation. We argue that it is not plausible that this deviation from maximality, be it a coincidence or not, comes from the charged lepton mixing. Consequently we have calculated the required corrections to the exactly bimaximal neutrino mass matrix ansatz necessary to account for the solar mass difference and the solar mixing angle. We point out that the relative size of these two corrections depends strongly on the hierarchy case under consideration. We find that the inverted hierarchy case with opposite CP parities, which is known to guarantee the RGE stability of the solar mixing angle, offers the most plausible scenario for a high energy origin of a QLC-corrected bimaximal neutrino mass matrix.

We apply it to benchmark models, supersymmetry in the bino-Higgsino limit, the canonical seesaw model and little Higgs model, finding that masses of Higgsino, right-handed neutrino and heavy vector boson can be probed up to $\sim$ 500 GeV, 650 GeV and 900 GeV, respectively. |

of the heavy-ion community since they can help to elucidate the origin of
collective-like effects discovered in small collision systems at the LHC. In
this work, we report that in PYTHIA 8.244, the charged-particle production in
events with a large number of MPI (${\rm N}_{\rm mpi}$) normalized to that
obtained in minimum-bias pp collisions shows interesting features. After the
normalization to the corresponding $\langle {\rm N}_{\rm mpi} \rangle$, the
ratios as a function of $p_{\rm T}$ exhibit a bump at $p_{\rm T}\approx3$
GeV/$c$; and for higher $p_{\rm T}$ ($>8$ GeV/$c$), the ratios are independent
of ${\rm N}_{\rm mpi}$. While the size of the bump increases with increasing
${\rm N}_{\rm mpi}$, the behavior at high $p_{\rm T}$ is expected from the
"binary scaling" (parton-parton interactions), which holds given the absence of
any parton-energy loss mechanism in PYTHIA. The bump at intermediate $p_{\rm
T}$ is reminiscent of the Cronin effect observed for the nuclear modification
factor in p--Pb collisions. In order to unveil these effects in data, we
propose a strategy to construct an event classifier sensitive to MPI using
Machine Learning-based regression. The study is conducted using TMVA, and the
regression is performed with Boosted Decision Trees (BDT). Event properties
like forward charged-particle multiplicity, transverse spherocity and the
average transverse momentum ($\langle p_{\rm T} \rangle$) are used for
training. The kinematic cuts are defined in accordance with the ALICE detector
capabilities. In addition, we also report that if we apply the trained BDT on
existing (${\rm INEL}>0$) pp data, i.e. events with at least one primary
charged-particle within $|\eta|<1$, the average number of MPI in pp collisions
at $\sqrt{s}=5.02$ and 13 TeV are 3.76$\pm1.01$ and 4.65$\pm1.01$,

fermionic zero mode of an intermediate light quark can give a nonvanishing
contribution owing to its chirality structure. A duality-violating component
that arises from a single instanton is then analytically extracted as a
finite-distance singularity, leading to an oscillatory correction to the

unified theories there is barely any room for reconciling the lower bound on
the position of the GUT scale emerging from the proton decay searches and the
lower limit on the absolute neutrino mass scale derived from the neutrino
oscillation experiments with the gauge coupling unification constraints. The
recent two-loop reassessment of the gauge running provides the first complete
picture of the situation, complementing the existing studies in several
aspects. The improved analysis reveals a new room in the parametric space that
could support a class of non-supersymmetric SO(10) models potentially
compatible with all current physical data, including constraints on the
relevant Yukawa sector emerging from the quark and lepton masses and mixings.
This, in turn, brings back the question of viability of some of the simplest
non-supersymmetric GUT scenarios.

two-particle Fock state of the electron in QED. The Fourier transform (FT) of
the GPDs gives the distribution of quarks in the transverse plane for zero
longitudinal momentum transfer ($\xi=0$). We study the relationship of the spin
flip GPD $E(x,0,-\vec{\Delta}_\perp^2)$ with the distortion of unpolarized
quark distribution in the transverse plane when the target nucleon is
transversely polarized and also determine the sign of distortion from the sign
of anomalous magnetic moment. To verify the sign of distortion, we also compute
it directly from the LFWFs by performing a FT in position space coordinate
$\vec{f}_\perp$. The explicit relation between the deformation in the two
spaces can also be obtained using the convolution integrals. To show the
relation of the model LFWFs to a realistic model of nucleon physics, we have
designed a specific weight function of our model LFWFs and integrated it over
the mass parameter. Also we have simulated the form factor of the nucleon in
the AdS/QCD holographic LFWFs model and studied the power-law behaviour at
short distances.
