Mass spectra of heavy baryons are calculated in the heavy-quark--light-diquark picture in the framework of the QCD-motivated relativistic quark model. The dynamics of light quarks in the diquark as well as the dynamics of the heavy quark and light diquark in the baryon are treated completely relativistically without application of nonrelativistic v/c and heavy quark 1/m_Q expansions. Such approach allows us to get predictions for the heavy baryon masses for rather high orbital and radial excitations. On this basis the Regge trajectories of heavy baryons for orbital and radial excitations are constructed, and their linearity, parallelism, and equidistance are verified. The relations between the slopes and intercepts of heavy baryons are considered and a comparison of the slopes of Regge trajectories for heavy baryons and heavy-light mesons is performed. All available experimental data on heavy baryons fit nicely to the constructed Regge trajectories. The possible assignment of the quantum numbers to the observed excited charmed baryons is discussed.

It has recently been demonstrated that a program of parasitic electron-beam fixed-target experiments would have powerful discovery potential for dark matter and other new weakly-coupled particles in the MeV-GeV mass range. The first stage of this program can be realized at Jefferson Laboratory using an existing plastic-scintillator detector downstream of the Hall D electron beam dump. This paper studies the physics potential of such an experiment and highlights its unique sensitivity to inelastic "exciting" dark matter and leptophilic dark matter scenarios. The first of these is kinematically inaccessible at traditional direct detection experiments and features potential "smoking gun" low-background signatures.

We calculate the mass splittings within the heavy baryon isospin multiplets \Sigma_{c(b)} and \Xi_{c(b)}' in chiral perturbation theory to leading one-loop order. The pattern of the mass splittings in the \Sigma_c iso-triplet, which is different from that of any other known isospin multiplet, can be explained. We predict m_{\Xi_c'^+} - m_{\Xi_c'^0}=-0.2\pm0.6 MeV, m_{\Xi_b'^0} - m_{\Xi_b'^-}=-4.0\pm1.9 MeV and the mass of the \Sigma_b^0 to be 5810.3\pm1.9 MeV.

We derive in full generality the equations that govern the time dependence of the energy ${\mathcal E}$ of the decay electrons in a muon $g-2$ experiment. We include both electromagnetic and gravitational effects and we estimate possible systematics on the measurements of $g-2\equiv 2(1+a)$, whose experimental uncertainty will soon reach $\Delta a/a\approx 10^{-7}$. In addition to the standard modulation of ${\mathcal E}$ when the motion is orthogonal to a constant magnetic field $B$, with angular frequency $\omega_a=e a |B|/m$, we study effects due to: (1) a non constant muon $\gamma$ factor, in presence of electric fields $E$, (2) a correction due to a component of the muon velocity along $B$ (the `pitch correction'), (3) corrections to the precession rate due to $E$ fields, (4) non-trivial spacetime metrics. Oscillations along the radial and vertical directions of the muon lead to oscillations in ${\mathcal E}$ with a relative size of order $10^{-6}$, for the BNL $g-2$ experiment. We then find a subleading effect in the `pitch' correction, leading to a frequency shift of $\Delta \omega_a/\omega_a \approx {\cal O}(10^{-9})$ and subleading effects of about $\Delta \omega_a/\omega_a \approx {\rm few} \times {\cal O}(10^{-8}-10^{-9})$ due to $E$ fields. Finally we show that GR effects are dominated by the Coriolis force, due to the Earth rotation with angular frequency $\omega_T$, leading to a correction of about $\Delta \omega_a/\omega_a \approx \omega_T/(\gamma \omega_a) \approx {\cal O}(10^{-12})$. A similar correction might be more appreciable for future electron $g-2$ experiments, being of order $\Delta \omega_a/\omega_{a, {\rm el}} \approx \omega_T/(\omega_{a, {\rm el}}) \approx 7\times 10^{-13}$, compared to the present experimental uncertainty, $\Delta a_{\rm el}/a_{\rm el}\approx 10^{-10}$, and forecasted to reach soon $\Delta a_{\rm el}/a_{\rm el}\approx 10^{-11}$.

The Online Silicon Vertex Tracker is the new CDF-II level 2 trigger processor designed to reconstruct 2-D tracks within the Silicon Vertex Detector with high speed and accuracy. By performing a precise measurement of impact parameters the SVT allows tagging online B events which typically show displaced secondary vertices. Physics simulations show that this will greatly enhance the CDF-II B-physics capability. The SVT has been fully assembled and operational since the beginning of Tevatron RunII in April 2001. In this paper we briefly review the SVT design and physics motivation and then describe its performance during the early phase (April-October 2001) of run II.

Decays of neutral B mesons originating from $b\to D r$ $(r\in\{s,d\})$ processes, i.e. $B_d\to DK_{S(L)}$, $B_s\to D\eta^{(')}, D\phi, ...$ $(r=s)$ and $B_s\to DK_{S(L)}$, $B_d\to D\pi^0, D\rho^0, ...$ $(r=d)$ modes, offer valuable insights into CP violation. Here the neutral $D$ mesons may be observed through $D\to f_\pm$ or $D\to f_{NE}$, where $f_\pm$ and $f_{NE}$ are CP eigenstates and CP non-eigenstates, respectively. Recently, we pointed out that ``untagged'' and mixing-induced CP-violating $B_{d,s}\to D_\pm f_s$ observables provide a very efficient, theoretically clean determination of the angle $\gamma$ of the unitarity triangle. Here we perform a more detailed analysis of the $B_{d,s}\to D[\to f_\pm]f_s$ channels, and focus on $B_{d,s}\to D[\to f_{NE}] f_s$, where interference effects between Cabibbo-favoured and doubly Cabibbo-suppressed D-meson decays lead to complications. We show that $\gamma$ can nevertheless be determined in an elegant and essentially unambiguous manner from the $B_{d,s}\to D[\to f_{NE}]f_s$ observables with the help of the corresponding ``untagged'' $B_{d,s}\to D[\to f_\pm]f_s$ measurements. Moreover, we may also extract hadronic B- and D-decay parameters. Several interesting features of decays of the kind $B_{d,s}\to D f_d$ are also pointed out.

The appearance of scalar/moduli fields in the early universe, as motivated by string theory, naturally leads to non-thermal "moduli cosmology". Such cosmology provides a consistent framework where the generation of radiation, baryons, and dark matter can occur while maintaining successful Big Bang Nucleosynthesis and avoiding the cosmological moduli problem. We present a relatively economical construction with moduli cosmology, building on a variety of string-inspired components (e.g. supersymmetry, discrete symmetries, Green-Schwarz anomaly cancellation). We address a range of outstanding problems of particle physics and cosmology simultaneously, including the fermion mass hierarchy and flavor puzzle, the smallness of neutrino masses, baryogenesis and dark matter. Our setup, based on discrete $\mathrm{Z}_{12}^{R}$ symmetry and anomalous $\mathrm{U}(1)_A$, is void of the usual issues plaguing the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model, i.e. the $\mu$-problem and the overly-rapid proton decay due to dimension-4,-5 operators. The model is compatible with $\mathrm{SU}(5)$ Grand Unification. The smallness of Dirac neutrino masses is automatically established by requiring the cancellation of mixed gravitational-gauge anomalies. The decay of the moduli field provides a common origin for the baryon number and dark matter abundance, explaining the observed cosmic coincidences, $\Omega_{B} \sim \Omega_{DM}$.

We study the baryon-baryon interactions with strangeness $S = -2$ and corresponding momentum correlation functions in leading order covariant chiral effective field theory. The relevant low energy constants are determined by fitting to the latest HAL QCD simulations, taking into account all the coupled channels. Extrapolating the so-obtained strong interactions to the physical point and considering both quantum statistical effects and the Coulomb interaction, we calculate the $\Lambda\Lambda$ and $\Xi^-p$ correlation functions with a spherical Gaussian source and compare them with the recent experimental data. We find remarkable agreement between our predictions and the experimental measurements by using the source radius determined in proton-proton correlations, which demonstrates the consistency between theory, experiment, and lattice QCD simulations. Moreover, we predict the $\Sigma^+\Sigma^+$, $\Sigma^+\Lambda$, and $\Sigma^+\Sigma^-$ interactions and corresponding momentum correlation functions. We further investigate the influence of the source shape and size of the hadron pair on the correlation functions studied and show that the current data are not very sensitive to the source shape. Future experimental measurement of the predicted momentum correlation functions will provide a non-trivial test of not only SU(3) flavor symmetry and its breaking but also the baryon-baryon interactions derived in covariant chiral effective field theory.

Neutrino mixing in the standard model extensions, both renormalizable and effective, with arbitrary numbers of the singlet and left-handed doublet neutrinos is investigated in a systematic fashion. The charged and neutral (the Z and Higgs mediated)lepton currents are written under general Majorana condition, and the odservable independence of the choice of the condition, the rephasing invariance, is studied. A parametrization of the neutrino mixing matrices in the doublet-singlet factorized form is developed.

Neutrino mixing in the standard model extensions, both renormalizable and effective, with arbitrary numbers of the singlet and left-handed doublet neutrinos is investigated in a systematic fashion. The charged and neutral (the Z and Higgs mediated)lepton currents are written under general Majorana condition, and the odservable independence of the choice of the condition, the rephasing invariance, is studied. A parametrization of the neutrino mixing matrices in the doublet-singlet factorized form is developed. Its relationship with the see-saw mechanism is shown in the limit of a small doublet-singlet mixing. The structure of the mixing matrices relevant to the neutrino oscillation experiments is explicated.

In this work we consider a simple extension of the Standard Model involving additional fermionic singlets and assume an underlying inverse seesaw mechanism (with one or more right-handed neutrinos and one or more sterile fermions) for neutrino mass generation. Under the assumption that both sterile states and right-handed neutrinos are present, our goal is to determine which is the minimal inverse seesaw realisation that accounts for neutrino data while at the same time complying with all experimental requirements (electroweak precision tests and laboratory constraints). This study aims at identifying the minimal inverse seesaw realisation for the 3-flavour and for the 3 +~more-mixing schemes, the latter giving an explanation for the reactor anomalies and/or providing a possible candidate for the dark matter of the Universe. Based on a perturbative approach, our generic study shows that in the class of inverse seesaw models giving rise to a 3-flavour flavour mixing scheme, only two mass scales are relevant (the light neutrino mass scale, $m_\nu$ and the mass of the right-handed neutrinos, $M_R$) while in the case of a 3 + 1-mixing scheme, an additional mass scale ($\mu$ $\in[m_\nu,M_R]$) is required. For each of the two obtained inverse seesaw frameworks, we conduct a thorough numerical analysis, providing predictions for the hierarchy of the light neutrino spectrum and for the effective mass in neutrinoless double beta decay.

Recently the muonic hydrogen lamb shift has been measured with unprecedented accuracy, allowing for a precise determination of the proton radius. This determination is 5 sigma away from the previous CODATA value obtained from (mainly) the hydrogen lamb shift and the electron-proton scattering. Within an effective field theory formalism, I will define the proton radius and briefly review some aspects of the theoretical prediction for the muonic hydrogen lamb shift, studying both the pure QED-like computation and the hadronic effects.

Schwinger pair production in some of space-dependent electromagnetic fields is studied analytically by using worldline instantons formalism for scalar quantum electrodynamics. With the increase of the modified Keldysh parameter $\gamma_{keb}$, the pair production rate decreases, the region of instanton paths expands regardless of the electromagnetic field form. We also find that all of the paths of the instantons for various electromagnetic fields are exactly in the same plane while with the different elliptical shapes. Moreover, the magnitudes of the normalized instantons action with different external electromagnetic fields are all bounded within the region from $\pi$ to $2\pi$ in spatial inhomogeneity fields. We further analytically identify and obtain two kinds of the pair-production time associated to the worldline instantons action.

We show that linear Regge trajectories for mesons and glueballs, and the cubic mass spectrum associated with them, determine a relation between the masses of the \rho meson and the scalar glueball, M(0^{++})=3/\sqrt{2} M(\rho ), which implies M(0^{++})=1620\pm 10 MeV. We also discuss relations between the masses of the scalar and tensor and 3^{--} glueballs, M(2^{++})=\sqrt{2} M(0^{++}), M(3^{--})=2M(0^{++}), which imply M(2^{++})=2290\pm 15 MeV, M(3^{++})=3240\pm 20 MeV.

We calculate for the first time the shear viscosity of ultrarelativistic Boson systems in the presence of a Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC). Two different methods are used. One is the Grad's method of moments and another is the Green-Kubo relation within a kinetic transport approach. In this work we consider a Boson system with isotropic elastic collisions and a gluon system with elastic scatterings described by perturbation QCD (pQCD). The results show that the presence of a BEC lowers the shear viscosity. This effect becomes stronger for the increasing proportion of the BEC in the Boson system and is insensitive to the detail of interactions.

We provide a simple mechanism for reconciling the direct dark matter experimental results. We consider light asymmetric composite dark matter which scatters off nuclei via Higgs and photon exchange. We demonstrate that the interference between these two channels naturally accommodates the experimental results. We discover that this happens for a compositeness scale of the order of the electroweak. We also provide a model realization based on strong dynamics at the electroweak scale.

The matrix elements for $K\rightarrow \pi \pi \l \nu$ decays are described by four form factors $F,G,H$ and $R$. We complete previous calculations by evaluating $R$ at next-to-leading order in the low-energy expansion. We then estimate higher order contributions using dispersion relations and determine the low-energy constants $L_1,L_2$ and $L_3$ from data on $K_{e4}$ decays and on elastic pion scattering. Finally, we present predictions for the slope of the form factor $G$ and for total decay rates.

It is shown that if, from the starting point of a universal rank-one mass matrix long favoured by phenomenologists, one adds the assumption that it rotates (changes its orientation in generation space) with changing scale, one can reproduce, in terms of only 6 real parameters, all the 16 mass ratios and mixing parameters of quarks and leptons. Of these 16 quantities so reproduced, 10 for which data exist for direct comparison (i.e. the CKM elements including the CP-violating phase, the angles $\theta_{12}, \theta_{13}, \theta_{23}$ in $\nu$-oscillation, and the masses $m_c, m_\mu, m_e$) agree well with experiment, mostly to within experimental errors; 4 others ($m_s, m_u, m_d, m_{\nu_2}$), the experimental values for which can only be inferred, agree reasonably well; while 2 others ($m_{\nu_1}, \delta_{CP}$ for leptons), not yet measured experimentally, remain as predictions. In addition, one gets as bonuses, estimates for (i) the right-handed neutrino mass $m_{\nu_R}$ and (ii) the strong CP angle $\theta$ inherent in QCD. One notes in particular that the output value for $\sin^2 2 \theta_{13}$ from the fit agrees very well with recent experiments. By inputting the current experimental value with its error, one obtains further from the fit 2 new testable constraints: (i) that $\theta_{23}$ must depart from its "maximal" value: $\sin^2 2 \theta_{23} \sim 0.935 \pm 0.021$, (ii) that the CP-violating (Dirac) phase in the PMNS would be smaller than in the CKM matrix: of order only $|\sin \delta_{CP}| \leq 0.31$ if not vanishing altogether.

We first propose a general method to construct the complete set of on-shell operator bases involving massive particles with any spins. To incorporate the non-abelian little groups of massive particles, the on-shell scattering amplitude basis should be factorized into two parts: one is charged, and the other one is neutral under little groups of massive particles. The complete set of these two parts can be systematically constructed by choosing some specific Young diagrams of Lorentz subgroup and global symmetry $U(N)$ respectively ($N$ is the number of external particles), without the equation of motion and integration by part redundancy. Thus the complete massive amplitude bases without any redundancies can be obtained by combining these two complete sets. Some examples are presented to explicitly demonstrate this method. This method is applicable for constructing amplitude bases involving identical particles, and all the bases can be constructed automatically by computer programs based on it.

We address the cosmological moduli/gravitino problems and the issue of too little thermal but excessive non-thermal dark matter from the decays of moduli. The main examples we study are the G2-MSSM models arising from M theory compactifications, which allow for a precise calculation of moduli decay rates and widths. We find that the late decaying moduli satisfy both BBN constraints and avoid the gravitino problem. The non-thermal production of wino LSPs, which is a prediction of G2-MSSM models, gives a relic density of about the right order of magnitude.

The gravitational waves emitted from a binary neutron star merger, as predicted from general relativistic magneto-hydrodynamics calculations, are sensitive to the appearance of quark matter and the stiffness of the equation of state of QCD matter present in the inner cores of the stars. This is a new messenger observable from outer space, which does provide direct signals for the phase structure of strongly interacting QCD matter at high baryon density and high temperature. These astrophysically created extremes of thermodynamics do match, to within 20\%, the values of densities and temperatures which we find in relativistic hydrodynamics and transport theory of heavy ion collisions at the existing laboratories, if though at quite different rapidity windows, impact parameters and bombarding energies of the heavy nuclear systems. We demonstrate how one unified equation of state can be constructed and used for both neutron star physics and hot QCD matter excited at laboratory facilities. The similarity in underlying QCD physics allows the gravitational wave signals from future advanced LIGO and Virgo events to be combined with the analysis of high multiplicity fluctuations and flow measurements in heavy ion detectors in the lab to pin down the EoS and the phase structure of dense matter.

These astrophysically created extremes of thermodynamics do match, to within 20\%, the values of densities and temperatures which we find in relativistic hydrodynamics and transport theory of heavy ion collisions at the existing laboratories, if though at quite different rapidity windows, impact parameters and bombarding energies of the heavy nuclear systems. We demonstrate how one unified equation of state can be constructed and used for both neutron star physics and hot QCD matter excited at laboratory facilities. The similarity in underlying QCD physics allows the gravitational wave signals from future advanced LIGO and Virgo events to be combined with the analysis of high multiplicity fluctuations and flow measurements in heavy ion detectors in the lab to pin down the EoS and the phase structure of dense matter.

Neutral particles capable of travelling cosmic distances from a source to detectors on Earth are limited to photons and neutrinos. Examination of the Dark Matter annihilation/decay spectra for these particles reveals the presence of continuum spectra (e.g. due to fragmentation and W or Z decay) and peaks (due to direct annihilations/decays). However, when one explores extensions of the Standard Model (BSM), unexplored spectra emerge that differ significantly from those of the Standard Model (SM) for both neutrinos and photons. In this paper, we argue for the inclusion of important spectra that include peaks as well as previously largely unexplored entities such as boxes and combinations of box, peak and continuum decay spectra.

Charginos $\tilde{\chi}^\pm$ and neutralinos $\tilde{\chi}^0$ in supersymmetric theories can be produced copiously at $e^+e^-$ colliders and their properties can be measured with high accuracy. Consecutively to the chargino system, in which the SU(2) gaugino parameter $M_2$, the higgsino mass parameter $\mu$ and $\tan\beta$ can be determined, the remaining fundamental supersymmetry parameter in the gaugino/higgsino sector of the minimal supersymmetric extension of the Standard Model, the U(1) gaugino mass $M_1$, can be analyzed in the neutralino system, including its modulus and its phase in CP-noninvariant theories. The CP properties of the neutralino system are characterized by unitarity quadrangles. Analytical solutions for the neutralino mass eigenvalues and for the mixing matrix are presented for CP-noninvariant theories in general. They can be written in compact form for large supersymmetric mass parameters. The closure of the neutralino and chargino systems can be studied by exploiting sum rules for the pair-production processes in $e^+e^-$ collisions. Thus the picture of the non-colored gaugino and higgsino complex in supersymmetric theories can comprehensively be reconstructed in these experiments.

We perform a numerical study of the preheating mechanism of particle production in models of quintessential inflation and compare it with the usual gravitational production mechanism. We find that even for a very small coupling between the inflaton field and a massless scalar field, g > 10^{-9}, preheating dominates over gravitational particle production. Reheating temperatures in the range 10^{-2} GeV < T_{rh} < 10^{15} GeV can be easily obtained.

Recently it was shown, within the mass insertion approximation (MIA), that the gluino mediated flavor changing neutral current (FCNC) interactions can saturate both epsilon_K and Re(epsilon'/epsilon_K) even for the real Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa (CKM) matrix through a single CP violating parameter (delta^d_12)_LL. In this work, we extend our previous analysis to the nonvanishing KM phase, and to the effective SUSY model where the MIA is no longer a good approximation. In our model, epsilon_K and B0 - B0 bar mixing can receive significant SUSY contributions. Therefore the usual constraints on rho and eta in the Wolfenstein parametrization of the CKM matrix can be relaxed except for the |V_ub/V_cb| from the semileptonic b -> u transition. This affects K -> pi nu nu bar and K_L -> mu+ mu- indirectly, even if they are not directly induced by gluino-mediated FCNC, while K_L -> pi0 e+ e- is influenced both directly and indirectly. Differences between our model and other SUSY models enhancing Re(epsilon'/epsilon_K) are discussed in detail.

Axion couplings to photons could induce photon-axion conversion in the presence of magnetic fields in the Universe. This conversion could impact various cosmic distance measurements, such as luminosity distances to type Ia supernovae and angular distances to galaxy clusters, in different ways. In this paper we consider different combinations of the most up-to-date distance measurements to constrain the axion-photon coupling. Employing the conservative cell magnetic field model for the magnetic fields in the intergalactic medium (IGM) and ignoring the conversion in the intracluster medium (ICM), we find the upper bounds on axion-photon couplings to be around $5 \times 10^{-12}$ (nG/$B$) $\sqrt{\mathrm{Mpc/s}}$ GeV$^{-1}$ for axion masses $m_a$ below $10^{-13}$ eV, where $B$ is the strength of the IGM magnetic field, and $s$ is the comoving size of the magnetic domains. When including the conversion in the ICM, the upper bound is lowered and could reach $5 \times 10^{-13}\, $GeV$^{-1}$ for $m_a < 5 \times 10^{-12}$ eV. While this stronger bound depends on the ICM modeling, it is independent of the strength of the IGM magnetic field, for which there is no direct evidence yet. These constraints could be placed on firmer footing with an enhanced understanding and control of the astrophysical uncertainties associated with the IGM and ICM. All the bounds are determined by the shape of the Hubble rate as a function of redshift reconstructable from various distance measurements, and insensitive to today's Hubble rate, of which there is a tension between early and late cosmological measurements. As an appendix, we discuss the model building challenges of the use of photon-axion conversion to make type Ia supernovae brighter to alleviate the Hubble problem/crisis.

We study the ability of the Hyper-Kamiokande (HyperK) experiment, currently under construction, to constrain a neutrino signal produced via the annihilation of dark matter captured in the Sun. We simulate upward stopping and upward through-going muon events at HyperK, using Super-Kamiokande (SuperK) atmospheric neutrino results for validation, together with fully and partially contained events. Considering the annihilation of dark matter to various standard model final states, we determined the HyperK sensitivity to the dark matter spin-dependent scattering cross-section. We find that HyperK will improve upon current SuperK limits by a factor of 2-3, with a further improvement in sensitivity possible if systematic errors can be decreased relative to SuperK.

In this article, we investigate the contribution of the high twist Feynman diagrams to the large $p_{T}$ single pseudoscalar and vector mesons inclusive production cross section in two-photon collisions and we present the general formulae for the high and leading twist differential cross sections. The pion wave function where two non-trivial Gegenbauer coefficients $a_2$ and $a_4$ have been extracted from the CLEO data, Braun-Filyanov pion wave function, the asymptotic and the Chernyak-Zhitnitsky wave functions are used in the calculations. For $\rho$-meson we used Ball-Braun wave function. The results of all the calculations reveal that the high twist cross sections, the ratio R, the dependence transverse momentum $p_{T}$ and the rapidity $y$ of meson in $\Phi_{CLEO}(x,Q^2)$ wave function case is very close to the $\Phi_{asy}(x)$ asymptotic wave function case. It is shown that the high twist contribution to the cross section depends on the choice of the meson wave functions.

This suggests that the ``ground-state'' spin-1 glueballs of $C=+$ do not exist within the relativistic framework. We calculate masses of the two-gluon glueballs with $J^{PC} = 0^{\pm+}/2^{\pm+}$ and the three-gluon glueballs with $J^{PC} = 0^{\pm+}/2^{\pm+}$.

The properties of a class of quasi-realistic three-family perturbative heterotic string vacua are addressed. String models in this class generically contain an anomalous U(1), such that the nonzero Fayet-Iliopoulos term triggers certain fields to acquire string scale VEV's along flat directions. This vacuum shift reduces the rank of the gauge group and generates effective mass terms and effective trilinear interactions. Techniques are discussed which yield a systematic classification of the flat directions of a given string model which can be proven to be F- flat to all orders. The effective superpotential along such flat directions can then be calculated to all orders in the string (genus) expansion.

The collider experiments at the Tevatron and the LHC will allow for detailed investigations of the properties of the top quark. This requires precise predictions of the hadronic production of $t\bar t$ pairs and of their subsequent decays. In this Letter we present for the reactions $p {\bar p}, p p \to t{\bar t} + X \to \ell^+\ell'^-X$ the first calculation of the dilepton angular distribution at next-to-leading order (NLO) in the QCD coupling, keeping the full dependence on the spins of the intermediate $t\bar{t}$ state. The angular distribution reflects the degree of correlation of the $t$ and $\bar t$ spins which we determine for different choices of $t$ and $\bar t$ spin bases. In the case of the Tevatron, the QCD corrections are sizeable, and the distribution is quite sensitive to the parton content of the proton.

We analyze the existence of the exotic $\Theta^+$ from the perspective of instanton induced quark dynamics. The 't Hooft interaction gives strong attraction in specific channels of the triquark $ud\bar s$ and diquark $ud$ configurations. In particular it leads to a light $ud\bar s$ triquark cluster, with the mass around $750 {\rm MeV}$, in the I=0, $S=1/2$ and color 3 configuration, and a light $ud$-diquark configuration, with mass $440 {\rm MeV}$, in the I=0, S=0 and color {$\bar{3}$} configuration. If we consider the pentaquark as a bound state of such triquark and diquark configurations in a relative L=1 state we obtain good agreement with the data. The small width of $\Theta^+$ has a natural explanation in this model.

We review the status of light sterile neutrino searches, motivated by the original Short BaseLine (SBL) anomalies. Here, we discuss how sterile neutrino properties can be constrained by different types of neutrino oscillation experiments (considering appearance or disappearance probes in different oscillation channels) and non-oscillation measurements. These latter include experiments aiming at obtaining a value for the absolute scale of neutrino masses ($\beta$ decay probes) and the indirect constraints that we could obtain from cosmological observations.

We discuss the production of radiation and dark matter assuming a time-dependent inflaton decay rate during the reheating period. It is shown that the time dependence of the inflaton decay rate can substantially modify the reheating dynamics. As an illustration, a leading interaction between the inflaton $\phi$ and the Higgs doublet ${\boldsymbol h}$ of the form $\phi |{\boldsymbol h}|^2$ was adopted. In the presence of such interaction, the Higgs doublet acquires a $\phi$-dependent mass which generates vacuum-expectation-value due to inflaton oscillations and breaks the Standard Model gauge symmetry. This leads to a time-dependent inflaton decay rate during the reheating period, and consequently, the production of radiation and dark matter during this period is modified. Regions of the parameter space that describe the observed value of the dark matter abundance were found and compared with the standard case when inflaton the decay rate is constant.

We propose a new class of R-parity violating extension of MSSM with type II seesaw mechanism for neutrino masses where an unstable gravitino is the dark matter of the Universe. It decays predominantly into three leptons final states, thereby providing a natural explanation of the positron excess but no antiproton excess in the PAMELA experiment. The model can explain neutrino masses without invoking any high scale physics while keeping the pre-existing baryon asymmetry of the universe in tact.

Salpeter equations with potential functions rising to infinity in configuration space do not automatically predict stable bound states. For this to happen, also the Lorentz behaviour of the involved Bethe-Salpeter kernels is crucial. At least for interaction potentials of harmonic-oscillator form analytic scrutinies of Salpeter equations with confining interactions may identify those Bethe-Salpeter kernels which describe bound states free from the notorious instabilities encountered in numerical evaluations. Such truly confining kernels can be singled out systematically by requesting the resulting bound-state energy spectra to be both real and discrete.

We consider the EWPT in the economical 3-3-1 (E331) model. Our analysis shows that the EWPT in the model is a sequence of two first-order phase transitions, $SU(3) \rightarrow SU(2)$ at the TeV scale and $SU(2) \rightarrow U(1)$ at the $100$ GeV scale. The EWPT $SU(3) \rightarrow SU(2)$ is triggered by the new bosons and the exotic quarks; its strength is about $1 - 13$ if the mass ranges of these new particles are $10^2 \,\mathrm{GeV} - 10^3 \,\mathrm{GeV}$. The EWPT $SU(2) \rightarrow U(1)$ is strengthened by only the new bosons; its strength is about $1 - 1.15$ if the mass parts of $H^0_1$, $H^\pm_2$ and $Y^\pm$ are in the ranges $10 \,\mathrm{GeV} - 10^2 \,\mathrm{GeV}$. The contributions of $H^0_1$ and $H^{\pm}_2$ to the strengths of both EWPTs may make them sufficiently strong to provide large deviations from thermal equilibrium and B violation necessary for baryogenesis.

We review current ideas on entropy production during the different stages of a relativistic nuclear collision. This includes recent results on decoherence entropy and the entropy produced during the hydrodynamic phase by viscous effects. We start by a discussion of decoherence caused by gluon bremsstrahlung in the very first interactions of gluons from the colliding nuclei. We then present a general framework, based on the Husimi distribution function, for the calculation of entropy growth in quantum field theories, which is applicable to the early ("glasma") phase of the collision during which most of the entropy is generated. The entropy calculated from the Husimi distribution exhibits linear growth when the quantum field contains unstable modes and the growth rateis asymptotically equal to the Kolmogorov-Sina\"i (KS) entropy. We outline how the approach can be used to investigate the problem of entropy production in a relativistic heavy-ion reaction from first principles. Finally we discuss some recent results on entropy production in the strong coupling limit, as obtained from AdS/CFT duality.

It has recently been pointed out that viable sparticle mass spectra can be generated in Yukawa unified SO(10) supersymmetric grand unified models consistent with radiative breaking of electroweak symmetry. Model solutions are obtained only if $\tan\beta \sim 50$, $\mu <0$ and positive $D$-term contributions to scalar masses from SO(10) gauge symmetry breaking are used. In this paper, we attempt to systematize the parameter space regions where solutions are obtained. We go on to calculate the relic density of neutralinos as a function of parameter space. No regions of the parameter space explored were actually cosmologically excluded, and very reasonable relic densities were found in much of parameter space. Direct neutralino detection rates could exceed 1 event/kg/day for a $^{73}$Ge detector, for low values of GUT scale gaugino mass $m_{1/2}$. We also calculate the branching fraction for $b\to s \gamma$ decays, and find that it is beyond the 95% CL experimental limits in much, but not all, of the parameter space regions explored. However, recent claims have been made that NLO effects can reverse the signs of certain amplitudes in the $b\to s\gamma$ calculation, leading to agreement between theory and experiment in Yukawa unified SUSY models. For the Fermilab Tevatron collider, significant regions of parameter space can be explored via $b\bar{b}A$ and $b\bar{b}H$ searches. There also exist some limited regions of parameter space where a trilepton signal can be seen at TeV33. Finally, there exist significant regions of parameter space where direct detection of bottom squark pair production can be made, especially for large negative values of the GUT parameter $A_0$.

We investigate the effect of the so-called anomalous baryon/meson enhancement to the nuclear modification factor of non-photonic electrons in Au+Au collisions at sqrt(s) = 200 GeV. It is demonstrated that an enhancement of the charm baryon/meson ratio, as it is observed for non-strange and strange hadrons, can be responsible for part of the amplitude of the nuclear modification factor of non-photonic electrons. About half of the measured suppression of non-photonic electrons in the 2-4 pt range can be explained by a charm baryon/meson enhancement of 5. This contribution to the non-photonic electron nuclear modification factor has nothing to do with heavy quark energy loss.

From comparison with the results of Beenakker et al., Montagna et al. and Cacciari et al., we conclude that the total precision of our BHWIDE results is 0.3% (0.5%) in the LEP1/SLC regime within +-100 MeV (+2.75/-2.5 GeV) of the Z peak. For LEP2, the corresponding precision is currently estimated at 1.5%; the latter could be improved if the data in LEP2 so require. Both precision tags represent clear improvements over what is currently available in the literature.

The mechanism where flavor symmetry is broken spontaneously is discussed within a scalar QCD model with effective three-meson couplings. For sufficiently large coupling the model is unstable with respect to quantum loops from mesonic vacuum polarization. It is argued that color and gluons naturally can account for the Goldstone degrees of freedom expected when flavor symmetry is spontaneously broken.

We demonstrate that the transversity chiral odd GPDs contribute to the transverse cross section if the hard amplitude is calculated up to order mc/Q. We show how to access these GPDs through the azimuthal dependence of the nu N -> mu D N differential cross section.

The measurement of a large like-sign dimuon asymmetry $A^b_{SL}$ by the D0 experiment at the Tevatron departs noticeably from Standard Model expectations and it may be interpreted as a hint of physics beyond the Standard Model contributing to $\Delta B\neq 0$ transitions. In this work we analyse how the natural suppression of $A^b_{SL}$ in the SM can be circumvented by New Physics. We consider generic Standard Model extensions where the charged current mixing matrix is enlarged with respect to the usual $3\times 3$ unitary Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa matrix, and show how, within this framework, a significant enhancement over Standard Model expectations for $A^b_{SL}$ is easily reachable through enhancements of the semileptonic asymmetries $A^d_{SL}$ and $A^s_{SL}$ of both $B^0_d$ - $\bar B^0_d$ and $B^0_s$ - $\bar B^0_s$ systems. Despite being insufficient to reproduce the D0 measurement, such deviations from SM expectations may be probed by the LHCb experiment.

Recent experimental data on diffractive deep inelastic scattering collected by the H1 and ZEUS Collaborations at HERA are analysed in a model with a non-linear trajectory in the pomeron flux. The $t$ dependence of the diffractive structure function $F_2^{D(4)}$ is predicted. The normalization of the pomeron flux and the (weak) $Q^2$ dependence of the pomeron structure function are revised as well.

The mass and decay constant of the heavy quarkonia $h_{Q}(1P)$ and $h_{Q}(2P)$ (Q = b, c) with quantum numbers $J^{PC} =1^{+-}$ are calculated in the framework of the two-point QCD sum rule method by taking into account the vacuum condensates up to eight dimensions. We compare our results for parameters of the $h_{b}(1P)$ and $h_{c}(1P)$ quarkonia, and their first radially excited states $h_{b}(2P)$ and $h_{c}(2P)$ with available experimental data as well as predictions of other theoretical studies existing in the literature.

We derive the one-loop effective action induced by a heavy top in models with an extended Higgs sector. We use the effective action to analyze the top corrections to the $\rho$ parameter and to the Higgs-gauge boson couplings. We show that in models with $\rho\not=1$ at tree-level, one does not lose generally the bound on $m_t$ from the $\rho$ parameter.

In this paper we study the effect of, well-known, higher order corrections to the allowed beta decay spectrum on the determination of anti-neutrino spectra resulting from the decays of fission fragments. In particular, we try to estimate the associated theory errors and find that induced currents like weak magnetism may ultimately limit our ability to improve the current accuracy and under certain circumstance could even largely increase the theoretical errors. We also perform a critical evaluation of the errors associated with our method to extract the anti-neutrino spectrum using synthetic beta spectra. It turns out, that a fit using only virtual beta branches with a judicious choice of the effective nuclear charge provides results with a minimal bias. We apply this method to actual data for U235, Pu239 and Pu241 and confirm, within errors, recent results, which indicate a net 3% upward shift in energy averaged anti-neutrino fluxes. However, we also find significant shape differences which can in principle be tested by high statistics anti-neutrino data samples.

We calculate for the first time all four-quark hadronic matrix elements of local operators possibly contributing to $K\to\pi\pi$ decays and in particular to the ratio $\epsilon'/\epsilon$ beyond the Standard Model (BSM). To this end we use the Dual QCD (DQCD) approach. In addition to 7 new mirror operators obtained from the SM ones by flipping the chirality, we count 13 BSM four-quark operators of a given chirality linearly independent of each other and of the aforesaid 14 operators for which hadronic matrix elements are already known. We present results in two bases for all these operators, one termed DQCD basis useful for the calculation of the hadronic matrix elements in the DQCD approach and the other called SD basis suited to the short distance renormalization group evolution above the 1~GeV scale. We demonstrate that the pattern of long distance evolution (meson evolution) matches the one of short distance evolution (quark-gluon evolution), a property which to our knowledge cannot be presently achieved in any other analytical framework. The highlights of our paper are chirally enhanced matrix elements of tensor-tensor and scalar-scalar BSM operators. They could thereby explain the emerging $\epsilon'/\epsilon$ anomaly which is strongly indicated within DQCD with some support from lattice QCD. On the other hand we do not expect the BSM operators to be relevant for the $\Delta I=1/2$ rule.

The dependence of the inelasticity in terms of the center of mass energy is studied in the eikonal formalism, which provides connection between elastic and inelastic channels. Due to the absence of inelasticity experimental datasets, the present analysis is based on experimental information available on the full phase space multiplicity distribution covering a large range of energy, namely 30 $<$ $\sqrt{s}$ $\leq$ 1800 GeV. Our results indicate that the decrease of inelasticity is consequence of minijets production from semihard interactions arising from the scattering of gluons carrying only a very small fractions of the momenta from their parent protons. Alternative methods of estimating the inelasticity are discussed and predictions to the LHC energies are presented.

Strongly correlated systems far from equilibrium can exhibit scaling solutions with a dynamically generated weak coupling. We show this by investigating isolated systems described by relativistic quantum field theories for initial conditions leading to nonequilibrium instabilities, such as parametric resonance or spinodal decomposition. The non-thermal fixed points prevent fast thermalization if classical-statistical fluctuations dominate over quantum fluctuations. We comment on the possible significance of these results for the heating of the early universe after inflation and the question of fast thermalization in heavy-ion collision experiments.

We extend the constrained minimal supersymmetric model (CMSSM) by adding a right-handed neutrino superfield ($\nu$CMSSM) which decouples close to the GUT scale. We study the effects of a right-handed neutrino on the low energy spectrum and focus on the predictions for dark matter properties. We pay particular attention to the realization of the light (left-handed) sneutrino which can be the next-to-lightest supersymmetric particle (NLSP) with either the neutralino or gravitino as the lightest supersymmetric particle (LSP). Notably, for the case of a neutralino LSP with a sneutrino NLSP, there are new `sneutrino coannihilation regions' which yield the desired thermal neutralino relic density determined by WMAP.

Both the Borel sum rules and the finite energy sum rules for $g_{\pi N}$ are used to examine the effects of higher dimensional operators (up to dim. 7) and $\alpha_s$ corrections in the operator product expansion. Agreement with the experimental number is reached only when $S_{\pi}/S_N$ is greater than one, where $S_{\pi}$ ($S_N$) is the continuum threshold for the $g_{\pi N}$ (nucleon) sum rule.

We propose a Dirac neutrino portal dark matter scenario by minimally extending the particle content of the Standard Model (SM) with three right handed neutrinos ($\nu_R$), a Dirac fermion dark matter candidate ($\psi$) and a complex scalar ($\phi$), all of which are singlets under the SM gauge group. An additional $\mathbb{Z}_4$ symmetry has been introduced for the stability of dark matter candidate $\psi$ and also ensuring the Dirac nature of light neutrinos at the same time. Both the right handed neutrinos and the dark matter thermalise with the SM plasma due to a new Yukawa interaction involving $\nu_R$, $\psi$ and $\phi$ while the latter maintains thermal contact via the Higgs portal interaction. The decoupling of $\nu_R$ occurs when $\phi$ loses its kinetic equilibrium with the SM plasma and thereafter all three $\mathbb{Z}_4$ charged particles form an equilibrium among themselves with a temperature $T_{\nu_R}$. The dark matter candidate $\psi$ finally freezes out within the dark sector and preserves its relic abundance. We have found that in the present scenario, some portion of low mass dark matter ($M_{\psi}\lesssim10$ GeV) is already excluded by the Planck 2018 data for keeping $\nu_R$s in the thermal bath below a temperature of 600 MeV and thereby producing an excess contribution to $N_{\rm eff}$. The next generation experiments like CMB-S4, SPT-3G etc. will have the required sensitivities to probe the entire model parameter space of this minimal scenario, especially the low mass range of $\psi$ where direct detection experiments are still not capable enough for detection.

We discuss perturbative evolution of the polarized structure function g_1 in the (x,Q^2) plane, with special regard to the small-x region. We determine g_1 in terms of polarized quark and gluon distributions using coefficient functions to order alpha_s. At small x g_1 then displays substantial scale dependence, which necessarily implies a corresponding scale dependence in the large-x region. This scale dependence has significant consequences for the extraction of the first moment from the experimental data, reducing its value while increasing the error. Conversely, the scale dependence may be used to constrain the size of the polarized gluon distribution.

We include NNLO perturbative corrections and recent determinations of the charm mass, and discuss how they improve the precision of the global fit. In particular, using the m_c determination of Ref.[11] we get m_b^kin=4.541(23) GeV and |V_cb|=(42.42+- 0.86) 10^{-3}.

We propose to use atoms and molecules as quantum sensors of axion-mediated monopole-dipole forces. We show that electron spin precession experiments using atomic and molecular beams are well-suited for axion searches thanks to the presence of co-magnetometer states and single-shot temporal resolution. Experimental strategies to detect axion gradients from localised sources and the earth are presented, taking ACME III as a prototype example. Other possibilities including atomic beams, and laser-cooled atoms and molecules are discussed.

One possible solution to the strong CP problem is that CP is an exact symmetry, spontaneously broken at some scale. Some years ago, Nelson and Barr suggested a mechanism for obtaining $\theta=0$ at tree level in this framework, and showed that radiative corrections were small in some non-supersymmetric models. Further investigations suggested that the same could be true in supersymmetric theories. In this note, we show that these analyses assumed an extraordinarily high degree of degeneracy among squark masses and among other supersymmetry breaking parameters. We argue, using naturalness as well as expectations from string theory, that this is not very plausible.

We observe excellent agreement between theory and data for most studied observables, which span several orders of magnitude in both cross section and energy. For some observables, such as the $H_T$ distribution, the NNLO QCD corrections are essential for resolving existing discrepancies between theory and data.

The assumption of linear confinement leads to a proportionality of the energy-momentum and space-time pictures of fragmentation for a simple qqbar system in the Lund string model. The hadronization of more complicated systems is more difficult to describe, and in the past only the energy-momentum picture has been implemented. In this article also the space-time picture is worked out, for open and closed multiparton topologies, for junction systems, and for massive quarks. Some first results are presented, for toy systems but in particular for LHC events. The density of hadron production is quantified under different conditions. The (not unexpected) conclusion is that this density can become quite high, and thereby motivate the observed collective behaviour in high-multiplicity pp collisions. The new framework, made available as part of the Pythia event generator, offers a starting point for future model building in a number of respects, such as hadronic rescattering.

We investigate the effect of SUSY phases ($\theta_A$ and $\theta_\mu$) on the $B^0_d - \bar{B}^0_d$ mixing in the minimal supergravity model. It is known that the complex phase $\theta_A$ $=$ arg($A$) ($A$ is the universal coefficient of the trilinear scalar couplings) is essentially unconstrained by the electric dipole moment experiment, while the phase $\theta_\mu$ $=$ arg($\mu$) ($\mu$ is the supersymmetric Higgsino mass) is strongly constrained to zero. We found that $\theta_A$ does not affect the phase of the $B^0_d - \bar{B}^0_d$ mixing matrix element $M_{12}(B)$ by numerical analysis of the renormalization group equations. This means that the measurement of the $B^0_d - \bar{B}^0_d$ mixing at the future B-factory could give the direct information on the parameters of the CKM matrix even in the framework of the minimal supergravity model with the SUSY phase $\theta_A$.

In the current paper, we argue that the ground state of a hadron contains a significant perturbative quantum chromodynamics (pQCD) core as the result of color gauge invariance and of the values of chiral and gluon vacuum condensates. The evaluation within the method of dispersion sum rules (DSR) of the vacuum matrix elements of the correlator of local currents with the proper quantum numbers leads to the value of the radius of the pQCD core of a nucleon of about 0.4--0.5 fm. The selection of the initial and final states allows to select processes in which the pQCD core of the projectile gives the dominant contribution to the process. It is explained that the transparency of nuclear matter for the propagation of a spatially small and color-neutral wave packet of quarks and gluons -- a color transparency (CT) phenomenon -- for a group of hard processes off nuclear targets can be derived in the form of the QCD factorization theorem accounting for the color screening phenomenon Based on the success of the method of DSR, we argue that a pQCD core in a hadron wave function is surrounded by the layer consisting of quarks interacting with quark and gluon condensates. As a result, in the quasi-elastic processes $e+A\to e'+N +(A-1)^{*}$, the quasi-Feynman mechanism could be dominating in a wide range of the momentum transfer squared, $Q^2$. In this scenario, a virtual photon is absorbed by a single quark, which carries a large fraction of the momentum of the nucleon and dominates in a wide range of $Q^2$. CT should reveal itself in these processes at an extremely large $Q^2$ as the consequence of the presence of the Sudakov form factors, which squeeze a nucleon.

The unintegrated gluon density in the photon is determined, using the Kimber-Martin-Ryskin prescription . In addition, a model of the unintegrated gluon is proposed, based on the saturation model extended to the large-x region. These gluon densities are applied to obtain cross sections for charm and bottom production in gamma-p and gamma-gamma collisions using the k_t factorization approach. We investigate both direct and resolved photon contributions and make comparison with the results from the collinear approach and the experimental data. An enhancement of the cross section due to inclusion of non-zero transverse momenta of the gluons is found. The charm production cross section is consistent with the data. The data exceed our conservative estimate for bottom production in gamma-p collisions, but theoretical uncertainties are too large to claim a significant inconsistency. A substantial discrepancy between theory and the experiment is found for gamma gamma -> b bbar X, not being cured by the k_t factorization approach.

We have performed a systematical analysis of lepton and quark masses models based on $\Gamma_4\cong S_4$ modular symmetry with gCP symmetry. We have considered both cases that neutrinos are Majorana particles and Dirac particles. All possible nontrivial representation assignments of matter fields are considered, and the most general form of fermion mass matrices are given. The phenomenologically viable models with the lowest number of free parameters together with the results of fit are presented. We find out nine lepton models with seven real free parameters including the real and imaginary parts of modulus for Majorana neutrinos, which can accommodate the lepton masses and neutrino oscillation data. The prediction for leptogenesis is studied in an example lepton model. The observed baryon asymmetry as well as lepton masses and mixing angles can be explained. For Dirac neutrinos, four lepton models with five real free couplings are compatible with experimental data. Ten quark models containing seven couplings are found to be able to accommodate the hierarchical quark masses and mixing angles and CP violation phase. Furthermore, the $S_4$ modular symmetry can provide a unified description of lepton and quark flavor structure, and a benchmark model is presented.

We have performed a systematical analysis of lepton and quark masses models based on $\Gamma_4\cong S_4$ modular symmetry with gCP symmetry. We have considered both cases that neutrinos are Majorana particles and Dirac particles. All possible nontrivial representation assignments of matter fields are considered, and the most general form of fermion mass matrices are given. The phenomenologically viable models with the lowest number of free parameters together with the results of fit are presented. We find out nine lepton models with seven real free parameters including the real and imaginary parts of modulus for Majorana neutrinos, which can accommodate the lepton masses and neutrino oscillation data. The prediction for leptogenesis is studied in an example lepton model. The observed baryon asymmetry as well as lepton masses and mixing angles can be explained. For Dirac neutrinos, four lepton models with five real free couplings are compatible with experimental data. Ten quark models containing seven couplings are found to be able to accommodate the hierarchical quark masses and mixing angles and CP violation phase. Furthermore, the $S_4$ modular symmetry can provide a unified description of lepton and quark flavor structure, and a benchmark model is presented.

We consider the interpretation of the MiniBooNE low-energy anomaly and the Gallium radioactive source experiments anomaly in terms of short-baseline electron neutrino disappearance in the framework of 3+1 four-neutrino mixing schemes. The separate fits of MiniBooNE and Gallium data are highly compatible, with close best-fit values of the effective oscillation parameters Delta m^2 and sin^2 2 theta. The combined fit gives Delta m^2 >~ 0.1 eV^2 and 0.11 < sin^2 2 theta < 0.48 at 2 sigma. We consider also the data of the Bugey and Chooz reactor antineutrino oscillation experiments and the limits on the effective electron antineutrino mass in beta-decay obtained in the Mainz and Troitsk Tritium experiments. The fit of the data of these experiments limits the value of sin^2 2 theta below 0.10 at 2 sigma. Considering the tension between the neutrino MiniBooNE and Gallium data and the antineutrino reactor and Tritium data as a statistical fluctuation, we perform a combined fit which gives Delta m^2 \simeq 2 eV and 0.01 < sin^2 2 theta < 0.13 at 2 sigma. Assuming a hierarchy of masses m_1, m_2, m_3 << m_4, the predicted contributions of m_4 to the effective neutrino masses in beta-decay and neutrinoless double-beta-decay are, respectively, between about 0.06 and 0.49 and between about 0.003 and 0.07 eV at 2 sigma. We also consider the possibility of reconciling the tension between the neutrino MiniBooNE and Gallium data and the antineutrino reactor and Tritium data with different mixings in the neutrino and antineutrino sectors. We find a 2.6 sigma indication of a mixing angle asymmetry.

So far we have not been able to establish that, as theoretically expected, neutrinos are their own anti-particles. Here we propose a dynamical way to account for the Dirac nature of neutrinos and the smallness of their mass in terms of a new variant of the seesaw paradigm in which the energy scale of neutrino mass generation could be accessible to the current LHC experiments.

In this paper we propose a method to compute the running top-Yukawa coupling in supersymmetric models with heavy mass spectrum based on the "running" and "decoupling" procedure. In order to enable this approach we compute the two-loop SUSY-QCD radiative corrections required in the decoupling process. The method has the advantage that large logarithmic corrections are automatically resummed through the Renormalization Group Equations. As phenomenological application we study the effects of this approach on the prediction of the lightest Higgs boson mass at three-loop accuracy. We observe a significant reduction of the renormalization scale dependence as compared to the direct method, that is based on the conversion relation between the running and pole mass for the top quark. The effect of resummation of large logarithmic contributions consists in an increased prediction for the Higgs boson mass, an observation in agreement with the previous analyses.

We study the behaviour of the flavour changing neutral currents in the Left-Right Symmetric Model related to the presence of spontaneous CP phases. To do this, we explore four cases corresponding to combinations of maximal and no CP violation in both the lepton and quark sector. We find that we can constrain the flavour changing neutral currents to the experimental limit, by adjusting the CP-violating phase of the quark sector, opening the possibility to obtain a large CP violation in the lepton sector as well as new Higgs bosons at the electroweak scale.

Magnetic monopoles have a long history of theoretical predictions and experimental searches, carrying direct implications for fundamental concepts such as electric charge quantization. We analyze in detail for the first time magnetic monopole production from collisions of cosmic rays bombarding the atmosphere. This source of monopoles is independent of cosmology, has been active throughout Earth's history, and supplies an irreducible monopole flux for all terrestrial experiments. Using results for robust atmospheric fixed target experiment flux of monopoles, we systematically establish direct comparisons of previous ambient monopole searches with monopole searches at particle colliders and set leading limits on magnetic monopole production in the $\sim 5-100$ TeV mass-range.

One of the most interesting consequence of non-zero intrinsic transverse momentum of partons in the nucleon is the nontrivial azimuthal dependence of the cross section of hard scattering processes. Many of the observable asymmetries contain unknown functions which provide essential information on the quark and gluon structure. Several of them have been studied in the last few years; we discuss their qualitative and quantitative features in semi-inclusive DIS.

When the standard model is viewed as a low energy effective theory, the neutrinos can obtain mass from higher dimensional operators. It has been known for long that such an operator first appears at mass dimension five and that it is unique. Here we show that the effective neutrino mass operator at every higher dimension is unique. This general claim is established using Young tableau, and illustrated by exhausting all potentially different operators at dimension seven. The result is relevant to the search of new physics effects beyond neutrino mass that can arise at a relatively low energy scale.

The mass spectra of all-charm tetraquark states with the [cc][$\bar{c}\bar{c}$] quark configuration are investigated. The coulomb plus linear potential is used in conjunction with the relativistic mass correction term $\mathcal{O}(\frac{1}{m})$. To determine the fitting parameters for all-charm tetraquarks states [cc][$\bar{c}\bar{c}$], we first calculate the mass spectra of charmonia [c$\bar{c}$] and its decay constants ($f^{2}_{P/V}$). We estimated the masses of the tetraquark states in their ground and radially excited states. For mass spectra of tetraquark states, we also included spin-spin, spin-orbital, and tensor interactions. The mass spectra of charmonia produced in this study are reasonably consistent with experimental and theoretical predictions made by others, whilst the mass spectra of the tetraquark states are consistent with previous theoretical predictions. We propose that the X(6900) state, which has a mass range of 6.2 - 6.9 GeV and was recently detected by LHCb, has the quantum numbers $0^{-+}$, $1^{-+}$, $2^{-+}$ and belongs to the P-wave of the all-cham tetraquark state.

We then propose to study the near threshold production of $\Upsilon$ and $J/\psi$ in ultraperipheral $pA$ collisions at RHIC. These processes are sensitive to the gluon condensate in the proton which is related to the QCD trace anomaly. Our result emphasizes the role of gluons as the origin of the proton mass.

Assuming the Minimal Flavour Violation hypothesis, we derive the general scalar potential for fields whose background values are the Yukawa couplings. We analyze the minimum of the potential and discuss the fine-tuning required to dynamically generate the mass hierarchies and the mixings between different quark generations. Two main cases are considered, corresponding to Yukawa interactions being effective operators of dimension five or six (or, equivalently, resulting from bi-fundamental and fundamental scalar fields, respectively). At the renormalizable and classical level, no mixing is naturally induced from dimension five Yukawa operators. On the contrary, from dimension six Yukawa operators one mixing angle and a strong mass hierarchy among the generations result.

The proton diffractive structure function $F_2^{D(3)}$ measured in the H1 and ZEUS experiments at HERA is analyzed in terms of both Regge phenomenology and perturbative QCD evolution. A new method determines the values of the Regge intercepts in ``hard'' diffraction, confirming a higher value of the Pomeron intercept than for soft physics. The data are well described by a QCD analysis in which point-like parton distributions, evolving according to the DGLAP equations, are assigned to the leading and sub-leading Regge exchanges. The gluon distributions are found to be quite different for H1 and ZEUS. A {\it global fit} analysis, where a higher twist component is taken from models, allows us to use data in the whole available range in diffractive mass and gives a stable answer for the leading twist contribution. We give sets of quark and gluon parton distributions for the Pomeron, and predictions for the charm and the longitudinal proton diffractive structure function from the QCD fit. An extrapolation to the Tevatron range is compared with CDF data on single diffraction. Conclusions on factorization breaking depend critically whether H1 (strong violation) or ZEUS (compatibility at low $\beta$) fits are taken into account.

A {\it global fit} analysis, where a higher twist component is taken from models, allows us to use data in the whole available range in diffractive mass and gives a stable answer for the leading twist contribution. We give sets of quark and gluon parton distributions for the Pomeron, and predictions for the charm and the longitudinal proton diffractive structure function from the QCD fit. An extrapolation to the Tevatron range is compared with CDF data on single diffraction. Conclusions on factorization breaking depend critically whether H1 (strong violation) or ZEUS (compatibility at low $\beta$) fits are taken into account.

We discuss a 331 model with three scalar triplets and neutral fermion singlets. We show that in the 331 model with right-handed neutrinos, it is possible to obtain small active neutrino masses via the double and inverse seesaw mechanisms, without the use of scalar sextets or triplets with doubly-charged Higgs. Two types of models are discussed. If we have a large Majorana mass matrix for the singlets, the spectrum of neutrinos presents light, heavy and very heavy masses. The other possibility is a small (zero) Majorana mass matrix, which leads to pseudo-Dirac (Dirac) heavy neutrinos in the TeV scale, in addition to the active light neutrinos

We have constructed a SUSY SO(10) x SU(2)_F model in which a set of symmetric mass matrices with five texture zeros (having 11 parameters) leads to 22 measurable fermion masses, mixing angles and CP phases, all in agreement with available experimental data within one sigma. The LMA solution for solar neutrinos is obtained as well as neutrino mixing angles and absolute values of neutrino masses. We have investigated the possibility of baryogenesis resulting from soft leptogenesis. We find that, with soft SUSY masses assuming their natural values of the order of a TeV, the observed baryon asymmetry in the Universe can be accommodated in our model. Unlike models with lop-sided textures which give rise to a dangerously large decay rate for mu -> e + gamma, the decay rate we get is much suppressed and yet it is large enough to be accessible to the next generation of experiments.

I give an explicit example of an independent basis of primitives for any n which is of the form A(1,2,sigma), where sigma is a permutation based on a Dyck word.

The inclusion of gauge messengers in models of gauge mediation allows for more general predictions that those described by the framework of general gauge mediation. Motivated by this, we explore some models of gauge mediation with gauge messengers in SU(5) GUTs. In most previous attempts of building viable models where gauge messengers play a role in determining the soft terms, squark and/or slepton masses turned out to be tachyonic. The objective of this paper is to address this problem and propose two possible solutions, one of which has a natural realization in the solution of the doublet-triplet problem. Another interesting result is that in these models the association of SUSY breaking with the breaking of the GUT group provides a simple mechanism that can explain why $SU(5)\rightarrow SU(3)\times SU(2) \times U(1)$ is preferred over other symmetry breaking patterns.

Cosmic strings radiate detectable gravitational waves in models featuring high-scale symmetry breaking, e.g., high-scale leptogenesis. In this Letter, for the first time, we show that different flavored regimes of high-scale leptogenesis can be tested distinctly with the spectral features in cosmic string-radiated gravitational waves. This is possible if the scalar field that makes right-handed neutrinos massive is feebly coupled to the Standard Model Higgs. Each flavored regime, sensitive to low-energy neutrino experiments, leaves a marked imprint on the gravitational waves spectrum. A three-flavor and a two-flavor regime could be probed by a characteristic fall-off of the gravitational wave spectrum at the LISA-DECIGO-ET frequency bands with preceding scale-invariant amplitudes bounded from above and below. We present Gravitational Waves windows for Flavored Regimes of Leptogenesis (GWFRL) falsifiable in the upcoming experiments.

We study a model of scalars which includes both the SM Higgs and a scalar singlet as composites of heavy vector-like fermions. The vector-like fermions are bounded by the super-strong four-fermion interactions. The scalar singlet decays to SM vector bosons through loop of heavy vector-like fermions. We show that the surprisingly large production cross section of di-photon events at 750 GeV resonance and the odd decay properties can all be explained. This model serves as a good model for both SM Higgs and a scalar resonance at 750 GeV.

A number of internal inconsistencies, misleading conclusions and lack of completeness in the analyses of the small $x$ deep inelastic data in recent papers of HERA physicists, particularly in a very recent one by the H1 collaboration are pointed out. It is also shown that, when an analysis without prejudice is carried over, the situation is very different from the one claimed there in what respects checks of theoretical expectations.

A detailed study of the criteria for stability of the scalar potential and the proper electroweak symmetry breaking pattern in the economical 3-3-1 model, is presented. For the analysis we use, and improve, a method previously developed to study the scalar potential in the two-Higgs-doublet extension of the standard model. A new theorem related to the stability of the potential is stated. As a consequence of this study, the consistency of the economical 3-3-1 model emerges.
