We point out some serious problems in the investigation of Kundu et al. which claims agreement with the existing data of the proton form factor, calculated without taking into account the intrinsic k_{perp}-dependence of the proton wave function.

A general and comprehensive analysis for the vector currents of two massive particles, $X_2$ and $X_1$, with arbitrary integer-spin values is given. Our special focus is on the case when two particles are charge self-conjugate, i.e. Majorana bosons. The general structure of their couplings to an on-shell or off-shell vector boson $V$ is described in a manifestly covariant way and then the constraints on the triple vertex due to discrete CP symmetry and the Majorana condition of two particles being Majorana are worked out. The validity of our full analytic investigation is checked by studying the two-body decay, $X_2\to V X_1$, with an on-shell or off-shell $V$ boson in the helicity formalism complementary to the covariant formulation. Threshold effects of the two-lepton invariant-mass and polar-angle correlations in the two sequential two-body decays, $X_2\to V X_1$ and $V\to \ell^-\ell^+$ with $\ell=e$ or $\mu$, are derived analytically in a compact form by use of the Wick helicity rotation and they are investigated numerically in a few specific spin-combination scenarios for probing the spin and dynamical structure of the $X_2X_1V$ vertex.

Using a real-time formalism of equilibrium and nonequilibrium quantum-field theory, we derive the reaction-rate formula for neutrino-conversion ($\nu \to \nu'$) process and $\nu \bar{\nu}'$ annihilation process, which take place in a hot and dense QED plasma with background (anti)neutrinos out of equilibrium. Also derived is the formula for the inverse processes to the above ones. Using the hard-thermal-loop resummation scheme, we include the contribution from the coherent processes. The decay/production of a neutrino causes an evolution of its spatial distribution. A scheme for dealing with this evolution is presented. For the case of isotropic neutrino distribution, numerical computation is carried out for the parameter region of type-II super-nova explosion. Defferential reaction rate exhibits characteristic peak structure, which comes from the coherent processes. The contribution from the above processes to the decay or damping rate of a parent neutrino $\nu$ is also studied.

We discuss effects induced by beyond leading order contributions to photon pair production. We point out that next to leading order contributions to the fragmentation component of the signal lead to a change in the shape of distributions. This is already mildly visible in present Tevatron data though stringent isolation criteria tend to suppress the fragmentation component considerably. We expect the effect to be experimentally confirmed in future data samples with higher statistics which would serve as a precision test for QCD.

Many measurements are necessary in the program of studying mixing, CP violation and rare decays of b and c quarks. These measurements require large numbers of B^o, B_s, B^- and D^{*+} hadrons. Fortunately, copius production of particles containing b and c quarks will occur at Tevatron and the LHC. The crucial measurements are described here, as well as the design of the two experiments, LHC-b and BTeV, that can exploit the 4-20 x 10^{11} b hadrons produced every 10^7 seconds.

We perform threshold resummation of soft gluon corrections to the total cross section and the invariant mass distribution for the process $pp \to t\bar{t}H$. The resummation is carried out at next-to-next-to-leading-logarithmic (NNLL) accuracy using the direct QCD Mellin space technique in the three-particle invariant mass kinematics. After presenting analytical expressions we discuss the impact of resummation on the numerical predictions for the associated Higgs boson production with top quarks at the LHC. We find that NLO+NNLL resummation leads to predictions for which the central values are remarkably stable with respect to scale variation and for which theoretical uncertainties are reduced in comparison to NLO predictions.

We study the lepton flavor violation in the supersymmetric seesaw model taking into account recent experimental improvements, especially for the Higgs boson mass measurement, direct searches of superpartners and the rare decay of B_s -> mu+ mu- at the LHC, the neutrino mixing angle of theta_{13} at the neutrino experiments, and the search of mu -> e gamma at the MEG experiment. We obtain the latest constraints on the parameters in the supersymmetry breaking terms and study the effect on the lepton flavor violating decays of tau -> mu gamma and mu -> e gamma. In particular, we consider two kinds of assumption on the structures in the Majorana mass matrix and the neutrino Yukawa matrix. In the case of the Majorana mass matrix proportional to the unit matrix, allowing non-vanishing CP violating parameters in the neutrino Yukawa matrix, we find that the branching ratio of tau -> mu gamma can be larger than 10^{-9} within the improved experimental limit of mu -> e gamma. We also consider the neutrino Yukawa matrix that includes the mixing only in the second and third generations, and find that a larger branching ratio of tau -> mu gamma than 10^{-9} is possible with satisfying the recent constraints.

We study the cosmology and phenomenology of freeze-in baryogenesis via dark-matter oscillations, taking the dark matter to couple to Standard Model leptons. We investigate viable models both with and without a $Z_2$ symmetry under which all new fields are charged. Lepton flavor effects are important for leptogenesis in these models, and we identify scenarios in which the baryon asymmetry is parametrically distinct from and enhanced relative to leptogenesis from sterile neutrino oscillations. The models we study predict the existence of new, electroweak-charged fields, and can be tested by a combination of collider searches, structure-formation studies, X-ray observations, and terrestrial low-energy tests.

Heavy colored scalar particles, which exist in many models of new physics, can be pair produced at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) via gluon-gluon fusion and possibly form quarkonium-like bound states. If the scalars are also charged under the electroweak gauge group, these bound states can then decay into electroweak bosons. This yields a resonant cross section for final states such as gamma gamma that can exceed Standard Model backgrounds. This paper studies this process in the Manohar-Wise model of color-octet scalars (COS). Important threshold logarithms and final state Coulomb-like QCD interactions are resummed using effective field theory. We compute the resummed cross section for gluon-gluon fusion to COS pairs at the LHC as well as the resonant cross section for octetonium decaying to gamma gamma. The latter cross section exceeds the Standard Model di-photon cross section when the COS mass is less than 500 (350) GeV for sqrt{s} = 14 (7) TeV. Nonobservation of resonances below these energies can significantly improve existing bounds on COS masses.

We present results of a microscopic calculation using NJL-type model of possible spin-one pairings in two flavor quark matter for applications in compact star phenomenology. We focus on the color-spin locking phase (CSL) in which all quarks pair in a symmetric way, in which color and spin states are locked. The CSL condensate is particularly interesting for compact star applications since it is flavor symmetric and could easily satisfy charge neutrality. Moreover, the fact that in this phase all quarks are gapped might help to suppress the direct Urca process, consistent with cooling models. The order of magnitude of these small gaps (~1 MeV) will not influence the EoS, but their also small critical temperatures (T_c ~800 keV) could be relevant in the late stages neutron star evolution, when the temperature falls below this value and a CSL quark core could form.

A $Z_3$ orbifold compactification of $E_8\times E_8^\prime$ heterotic string is considered toward a trinification $SU(3)^3$ with three light families. The GUT scale VEV's of the $SU(2)_W\times U(1)_Y\times SU(3)_c$ singlet chiral fields in two sets of the trinification spectrum allow an acceptable symmetry breaking pattern toward MSSM. We show that a doublet-triplet splitting is related to the absence of a $\Delta B$ nonzero operator.

Motivated by the observations of the decays $B^0 \to K_0^{*}(1430)^0 f_0(980)$ and $ B^0 \to K_2^{*}(1430)^0 f_0(980)$ from BaBar collaboration, we study the $B^{0(+)} \to K_{0,2}^{*}(1430)^{0(+)} f_0(980)/\sigma$ decays in the perturbative QCD approach for the first time. In the absence of reliable nonperturbative wave functions we only assume the scalar meson $f_0(980)$ and $\sigma$ are two-quark ground states. In our calculations, these decays are all dominated by the hard-scattering emission and annihilation diagrams, while the factorizable emission diagrams are forbidden or suppressed heavily by the vector decay constants. Furthermore, the branching fractions are sensitive to the mixing between $f_0(980)$ and $\sigma$. Comparing our results with the experimental data, a large mixing angle $\theta$ is favored. Taking $\theta=145^\circ$, the orders of branching fractions of $B \to K_0^{*}(1430)^0 \sigma$, $B \to K_{2}^{*}(1430)^0 \sigma$ and $B \to K_{0,2}^{*}(1430)^0 f_0(980)$ are predicted to be $10^{-4}$, $10^{-5}$ and $10^{-6}$, respectively, which can be measured in the current experiments such as LHCb and Belle-2. In addition, although these decays are penguin dominant, the mixing also leads to large direct $CP$ asymmetries in these decays. With the precise data in future, our results could shed light on the inner structure of the scalar mesons and can be used to determine the mixing angle of the $\sigma-f_0(980)$ system.

Motivated by the observations of the decays $B^0 \to K_0^{*}(1430)^0 f_0(980)$ and $ B^0 \to K_2^{*}(1430)^0 f_0(980)$ from BaBar collaboration, we study the $B^{0(+)} \to K_{0,2}^{*}(1430)^{0(+)} f_0(980)/\sigma$ decays in the perturbative QCD approach for the first time. In the absence of reliable nonperturbative wave functions we only assume the scalar meson $f_0(980)$ and $\sigma$ are two-quark ground states. In our calculations, these decays are all dominated by the hard-scattering emission and annihilation diagrams, while the factorizable emission diagrams are forbidden or suppressed heavily by the vector decay constants. Furthermore, the branching fractions are sensitive to the mixing between $f_0(980)$ and $\sigma$. Comparing our results with the experimental data, a large mixing angle $\theta$ is favored. Taking $\theta=145^\circ$, the orders of branching fractions of $B \to K_0^{*}(1430)^0 \sigma$, $B \to K_{2}^{*}(1430)^0 \sigma$ and $B \to K_{0,2}^{*}(1430)^0 f_0(980)$ are predicted to be $10^{-4}$, $10^{-5}$ and $10^{-6}$, respectively, which can be measured in the current experiments such as LHCb and Belle-2. In addition, although these decays are penguin dominant, the mixing also leads to large direct $CP$ asymmetries in these decays. With the precise data in future, our results could shed light on the inner structure of the scalar mesons and can be used to determine the mixing angle of the $\sigma-f_0(980)$ system.

In this paper we will describe two new optimisations implemented in MadGraph5_aMC@NLO, both of which are designed to speed-up the computation of leading-order processes (for any model). First we implement a new method to evaluate the squared matrix element, dubbed helicity recycling, which results in factor of two speed-up. Second, we have modified the multi-channel handling of the phase-space integrator providing tremendous speed-up for VBF-like processes (up to thousands times faster).

We compute the leading corrections to the properties of W and Z bosons induced at the one-loop level in the SU(5)/SO(5) Littlest Higgs model with T parity, and perform a global fit to precision electroweak data to determine the constraints on the model parameters. We find that a large part of the model parameter space is consistent with data. Values of the symmetry breaking scale as low as 500 GeV are allowed, indicating that no significant fine tuning in the Higgs potential is required. We identify a region within the allowed parameter space in which the lightest T-odd particle, the partner of the hypercharge gauge boson, has the correct relic abundance to play the role of dark matter. In addition, we find that a consistent fit to data can be obtained for large values of the Higgs mass, up to 800 GeV, due to the possibility of a partial cancellation between the contributions to the T parameter from Higgs loops and new physics.

We explore the possibility that high energy astrophysical neutrinos can interact with the dark matter on their way to Earth. Keeping in mind that new physics might leave its signature at such energies, we have considered all possible topologies for effective interactions between neutrino and dark matter. Building models, that give rise to a significant flux suppression of astrophysical neutrinos at Earth, is rather difficult. We present a $Z^{\prime}$-mediated model in this context. Encompassing a large variety of models, a wide range of dark matter masses from $10^{-21}$ eV up to a TeV, this study aims at highlighting the challenges one encounters in such a model building endeavour after satisfying various cosmological constraints, collider search limits and electroweak precision measurements.

The Real Compton Scattering in ultraperipheral $pPb$ collisions at RHIC and LHC energies is investigated and predictions for the squared transverse momentum ($t$) and rapidity ($Y$) distributions are presented. The scattering amplitude is assumed to be given by the sum of the Reggeon and Pomeron contributions and the Pomeron one is described by the Color Dipole formalism taking into account the non - linear (saturation) effects in the QCD dynamics. We demonstrate that the behaviour of the cross sections at large -- $t$ and/or $Y$ is dominated by the Pomeron contribution and is strongly affected by the non -- linear effects present in the QCD dynamics. These results indicate that a future experimental analysis of this process can be useful to probe the QCD dynamics at high energies.

We formulate axion-electrodynamics and magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) in the cosmological context assuming weak gravity. The two formulations are made for a general scalar field with general $f(\phi)$-coupling, and an axion as a massive scalar field with $\phi^2$-coupling, with the helical electromagnetic field. The $\alpha$-dynamo term appears naturally from the helical coupling in the MHD formulation. In the presence of the electromagnetic coupling, however, the Schr\"odinger and hydrodynamic formulations of the coherently oscillating axion are {\it not} available for the conventional $\phi$ coupling; instead, $\phi^2$ coupling allows successful formulations preserving the dark matter nature of the axion to nonlinear order. In the MHD formulation, direct couplings between the scalar and electromagnetic fields appear only for non-ideal MHD. We study gravitational and magnetic instabilities of the scalar field and axion MHDs.

In previous works effective non-local $SU(2)\times SU(2)$ NJL model was derived in the framework of the fundamental QCD. All the parameters of the model are expressed through QCD parameters: current light quark mass $m_0$ and average non-perturbative $\alpha_s$. The results for scalar and pseudo-scalar mesons are in satisfactory agreement to existing data. In the present work the same model without introduction of any additional parameters is applied for a description of masses and strong decay widths of $\rho$- and $a_1$-mesons. The results for both scalar and vector sectors agree with data with only one adjusted parameter $m_0$, with account of average $\alpha_s \simeq 0.415$, which is obtained in a previous work as well.

We investigate the relation between the eigenvalues and eigenfunctions of the BFKL and JIMWLK/KLWMIJ Hamiltonians. We show that the eigenvalues of the BFKL Hamiltonians are also {\it exact} eigenvalues of the KLWMIJ (and JIMWLK) Hamiltonian, albeit corresponding to possibly non normalizable eigenfunctions. The question whether a given eigenfunction of BFKL corresponds to a normalizable eigenfunction of KLWMIJ is rather complicated, except in some obvious cases, and requires independent investigation. As an example to illustrate this relation we concentrate on the color octet exchange in the framework of KLWMIJ Hamiltonian. We show that it corresponds to the reggeized gluon exchange of BFKL, and find first correction to the BFKL wave function, which has the meaning of the impact factor for shadowing correction to the reggeized gluon. We also show that the bootstrap condition in the KLWMIJ framework is satisfied automatically and does not carry any additional information to that contained in the second quantized structure of the KLWMIJ Hamiltonian. This is an example of how the bootstrap condition inherent in the t-channel unitarity, arises in the s-channel picture.

In this thesis, we start by reviewing all constraints applying on self-interacting DM with a light mediator considering well-known Higgs portal and Kinetic Mixing portal models as concrete examples. Then, we elaborate on the Sommerfeld effect, and we study its many implications on self-interacting DM models with light mediator. Next, we investigate how to account for the DM relic abundance in such portal models which present a generic structure with three populations (Standard Model, DM and mediator particles) connected to each other through three interactions resulting from two coupling strengths. It appears that this can be done through five different dynamical ways which give rise to nine regimes among which four are new. Those new production regimes are relevant for a situation where the hidden sector particles are not thermally connected to the visible vector particles. We further study the possibility of a thermally disconnected Hidden Sector and establish the general allowed parameter space for DM thermal candidates in the hidden-to-visible temperature ratio versus DM mass plane. We show that, in this framework, simple portal models such as the two we consider can alleviate tensions at small scale while offering suitable DM candidates. Other minimal self-interacting DM with light mediator frameworks which consistently fulfil all constraints are also proposed and explored.

We show how to obtain information about the states of an effective field theory in terms of the underlying fundamental theory. In particular we analyze the spectroscopic nature of meson resonances from the meson-meson scattering amplitudes of the QCD low energy effective theory, combined with the expansion in the large number of colors. The vectors follow a qqbar behavior, whereas the sigma, kappa and f_0(980) scalars disappear for large N_c, in support of a qqqbarqbar-like nature. The a_0 shows a similar pattern, but the uncertainties are large enough to accommodate both interpretations.

The numerical results of double $J/\psi$ photoproduction pp $\rightarrow$ p$\gamma$p $\rightarrow$ $J/\psi$ + $J/\psi$ with different forward detector acceptances ($\xi$) are presented. The total cross section of double $J/\psi$ photoproduction is less than 200 fb with 0.1 $<$ $\xi$ $<$ 0.5, but can reach about 1.37(1.27) pb with 0.0015 $<$ $\xi$ $<$ 0.5 ( 0.0015 $<$ $\xi$ $<$ 0.15 ). The double $J/\psi$ photoproduction may have the potential to be detected and provide an interesting signature, thus is useful for studying the mechanism of heavy quarkonium production. We also predict the double $\Upsilon$ photoproduction and find they are, unfortunately, small (with less than 10 fb).

Using Laplace transform techniques, we describe the determination of the longitudinal structure function $F_{L}(x,Q^2)$, at the leading-order approximation in momentum space, from the structure function $F_{2}(x,Q^2)$ and its derivative with respect to ${\ln}Q^2$ in a kinematical region of low values of the Bjorken variable $x$. Since the $x$ dependence of $F_2(x,Q^2)$ and its evolution with $Q^2$ are determined much better by the data than $F_L(x,Q^2)$, this method provides both a direct check on $F_L(x,Q^2)$ where measured, and a way of extending $F_L(x,Q^2)$ into regions of $x$ and $Q^2$ where there are currently no data. In our calculations, we ultilize the Block-Durand-Ha parametrization for the structure function $F_{2}(x,Q^2)$ [M. M. Block, L. Durand and P. Ha, Phys.Rev.D {\bf89}, 094027 (2014)]. We find that the Laplace transform method in momentum space provides correct behaviors of the extracted longitudinal structure function $F_{L}(x,Q^2)$ and that our obtained results are in line with data from the H1 Collaboration and other results for $F_{L}(x,Q^2)$ obtained using Mellin transform method.

We develop a recipe which allows one to recursively and uniquely decouple the large scale from the small scale in mass matrices of the seesaw type, up to any order in the inverse of the large scale. Our method allows one to calculate the mass matrix of the light neutrinos with arbitrary precision. The same method can be applied in the case of quark mass matrices in an extension of the Standard Model with vector-like quarks which have mass terms at a scale much higher than the electroweak scale.

We discuss the feasibility of seeing a Higgs boson which decays to four partons through a pair of (pseudo-)scalars at the LHC. We restrict our search to Higgs bosons produced in association with a W/Z boson at high transverse momentum. We argue that subjet analysis techniques are a good discriminant between such events and W/Z plus jets and top-antitop production. For light scalar masses (below 30 GeV), we find evidence that a flavor-independent search for such a non-standard Higgs boson is plausible with 100 fb^-1 of data, while a Higgs decaying to heavier scalars is only likely to be visible in models where scalar decays to b quarks dominate.

We have investigated the spin-orbital angular momentum correlations for the active quark inside the light and heavy mesons for both the spin-0 and spin-1 cases. These correlations can be derived from the generalised transverse momentum dependent distributions (GTMDs) as well as the generalised parton distributions (GPDs). We employ the overlap representation of light-front wave functions in the light-front quark model (LFQM) to calculate our analytical results. The dependence of spin-orbit correlations (SOCs) on the longitudinal momentum fraction $x$ as well as the transverse momentum dependence $\mathbf{k}_{\perp}$ has been graphically presented. Even though the SOCs have already been studied for the spin-0 pions and kaons in other approaches, no calculations for the other light and heavy spin-0 mesons have been reported in literature. Further, the correlations for any of the light and heavy spin-1 mesons have been studied for the first time in the present work.

A new version of CARLOMAT that allows to generate automatically the Monte Carlo programs dedicated to the description of the processes e+e- -> hadrons at low center-of-mass energies is presented. The program has been substantially modified in order to incorporate the photon-vector meson mixing terms and to make possible computation of the helicity amplitudes nvolving the Feynman interaction vertices of new tensor structures, like those predicted by the Resonance Chiral Theory or Hidden Local Symmetry model, and the effective Lagrangian of the electromagnetic interaction of the nucleons. Moreover, a number of new options have been introduced in the program in order to enable a better control over the effective models implemented. In particular, they offer a possibility to determine the dominant production mechanisms of the final state chosen by the user.

We consider the nonrelativistic quantum mechanics of a model of two spinless fermions interacting via a two-body potential. We introduce quantum fields associated with the two particles as well as the expansion of these fields in asymptotic ``in'' and ``out'' fields, including such fields for bound states, in principle. We limit our explicit discussion to a two-body bound state. In this context we discuss the implications of the Galilean invariance of the model and, in particular, show how to include bound states in a strictly Galilean-invariant quantum field theory.

The effective potential obtained by loop expansion is usually not real in the range of field values explored by its minima during a phase transition. We apply the optimized perturbation theory in a fixed gauge to singlet scalar extensions of the Standard Model in order to calculate a one-loop effective potential that is real by construction. We test this computational scheme by comparing such a potential obtained in Landau gauge to that derived based on the Higgs pole mass. We carry out the latter construction by imposing physical renormalization conditions, which yields a potential without residual regularization scale dependence. We use our effective potential to study the parameter dependence of the critical temperatures in a two-step phase transition of the form $(0,0)\to (0,w')\to (v,w)$ that occurs for decreasing temperature in scalar extensions of the SM with two vacuum expectation values $v$ and $w$.

We extend our framework for the automated calculation of dijet soft functions to observables that do not obey the non-Abelian exponentiation theorem, like jet-veto or grooming soft functions that are sensitive to clustering effects of the jet algorithm. Although the matrix element for uncorrelated double emissions has a simpler structure than the one for correlated emissions, we argue that its singularity structure poses more stringent constraints on the required phase-space parametrisation. Our algorithm applies to both SCET-1 and SCET-2 soft functions and it is implemented in the novel program SoftSERVE. We present results for various jet-veto observables and obtain new predictions for the soft-drop jet-grooming algorithm.

We study the pair production of fermions in a time dependent axion background with and without an electric background. We construct the adiabatic mode functions which incorporate the gauge field and the axion velocity dependence of the dispersion relation. The semiclassical approach using this adiabatic basis shows two types of pair production. One is axion-assisted pair production: the presence of the axion velocity gives enhancement and interference effects on the pair production driven by the electric field. The other is axion-driven pair production: the time variation of the axion velocity causes the pair production even though the electric field is absent.

We construct the energy-momentum tensor for the gauge fields which describe the collective excitations of the quark-gluon plasma. We rely on the description of the collective modes that we have derived in previous works. By using the conservation laws for energy and momentum, we obtain three different versions for the tensor $T^{\mu\nu}$, which are physically equivalent. We show that the total energy constructed from $T^{00}$ is positive for any non-trivial field configuration. Finally, we present a new non-abelian solution of the equations of motion for the gauge fields. This solution corresponds to spatially uniform color oscillations of the plasma.

We discusses the charge asymmetry in $ B\rightarrow D\bar DK$ decays with an invariant mass of the $D\bar D$ pair near the $\Psi(3770)$ resonance. Unlike $ \Psi (3770) $ decays in $ e^+e^- $ annihilation, in $B^+$ decays the probability of $D^0\bar D^0$ production is almost three times higher than $D^+ D^-$. In $B^0$ decays, the ratio of these probabilities will be opposite. The effect is explained by the fact that, in $B$ -meson decays, the $D\bar D$ pair is produced in a superposition of isoscalar and isovector states, and only in combination with $K$ -mesons the total state has $ 1/2 $ isospin. We present a simple model in which the interference of the nonresonant isovector amplitude with the resonant isoscalar amplitude explains the experimental data.

We propose a parametrization of the leading $B$-meson light-cone distribution amplitude (LCDA) in heavy-quark effective theory (HQET). In position space, it uses a conformal transformation that yields a systematic Taylor expansion and an integral bound, which enables control of the truncation error. Our parametrization further produces compact analytical expressions for a variety of derived quantities. At a given reference scale, our momentum-space parametrization corresponds to an expansion in associated Laguerre polynomials, which turn into confluent hypergeometric functions ${}_1F_1$ under renormalization-group evolution at one-loop accuracy. Our approach thus allows a straightforward and transparent implementation of a variety of phenomenological constraints, regardless of their origin. Moreover, we can include theoretical information on the Taylor coefficients by using the local operator production expansion. We showcase the versatility of the parametrization in a series of phenomenological pseudo-fits.

We show that the strong constraints provided by the electroweak precision data on the mass of the pseudoscalar Higgs, whose contribution may account for $\Delta a_{\mu}$, are evaded in regions where the charged scalar is degenerate with the heavy neutral one and the mixing angles $\alpha$ and $\beta$ satisfy the Standard Model limit $\beta-\alpha \approx \pi /2$. We combine theoretical constraints from vacuum stability and perturbativity with direct and indirect bounds arising from collider and $B$~physics. Possible future constraints from the electron $g$$-$$2$ are also considered. If the 126 GeV resonance discovered at the LHC is interpreted as the light CP-even Higgs boson of the 2HDM, we find that only models of type X can satisfy all the considered theoretical and experimental constraints.

A theoretical description of the differential decay spectrum for the decay tau- -> nu_tau K_S pi-, which is based on the contributing K pi vector and scalar form factors F_+^{K pi}(s) and F_0^{K pi}(s) being calculated in the framework of resonance chiral theory (R$\chi$T), additionally imposing constraints from dispersion relations as well as short distance QCD, provides a good representation of a recent measurement of the spectrum by the Belle collaboration. Our fit allows to deduce the total branching fraction B[tau- -> nu_tau K_S pi-] = 0.427 +- 0.024 % by integrating the spectrum, as well as the K^* resonance parameters M_{K^*} = 895.3 +- 0.2 MeV and Gamma_{K^*} = 47.5 +- 0.4 MeV, where the last two errors are statistical only. From our fits, we confirm that the scalar form factor F_0^{K pi}(s) is required to provide a good description, but we were unable to further constrain this contribution. Finally, from our results for the vector form factor F_+^{K pi}(s), we update the corresponding slope and curvature parameters lambda'_+ = (25.2 +- 0.3)*10^{-3} and lambda''_+ = (12.9 +- 0.3)*10^{-4}, respectively.

In high temperature SU(2) gluodynamics, the condensation of the zero component gauge field potential A_0 =const and its gauge-fixing dependence are investigated. A_0 is mutually related with Polyakov's loop <L>. The two-loop effective potential W(A_0,xi) is recalculated in the background relativistic R_xi gauge. It depends on the parameter xi, has a nontrivial minimum and satisfies Nielsen's identity. These signs mean gauge invariance of the condensation phenomenon. Following the idea of Belyaev, we express W(A_0,xi) in terms of <L>. The obtained effective potential of order parameter differs from that derived by this author. It is independent of xi and has a nontrivial minimum position. Hence the A_0 condensation follows. We show that the equation relating A_0 and (A_0)|_(classical) coincides with the special characteristic orbit in the (A)$-plain along which the W(A_0,xi) is xi-independent. In this way the link between these two gauge invariant descriptions is established. The minimum value of the Polyakov loop is calculated. Comparison with results of other authors is given.

Sasankan et al, have recently claimed that there are significant deviations in the phase-space distributions of the kinetic energies of nuclei from the Maxwell-Boltzmann form usually assumed in BBN, and further, that these deviations lead to big changes in the predicted light-element abundances. Solving the relativistic Boltzmann equation perturbatively, we explicitly show that these deviations are not 20% as claimed, but rather are about 10^-17 in size and hence cannot significantly alter the predicted light-element abundances. We discuss and compute two related effects: O(0.1%) corrections to the kinetic distributions of nuclei that arise from small relativistic corrections to the MB distribution and a much smaller effect, nuclear kinetic drag, which arises from the heat transferred from the EM plasma to nuclei that is needed to maintain kinetic equilibrium.

The collisions of high energy photons produced at an electron-positron collider provide a comprehensive laboratory for testing QCD, electroweak interactions, and extensions of the Standard Model. The luminosity and energy of the colliding photons produced by back-scattering laser beams is expected to be comparable to that of the primary $e^+e^-$ collisions. In this overview, we shall focus on tests of electroweak theory in photon-photon annihilation, particularly $\gamma\gamma \rightarrow W^+ W^-$, $\gamma\gamma \rightarrow $ Higgs bosons, and higher-order loop processes, such as $\gamma\gamma \rightarrow \gamma\gamma, Z \gamma$ and $ZZ.$ Since each photon can be resolved into a $W^+ W^-$ pair, high energy photon-photon collisions can also provide a remarkably background-free laboratory for studying $WW$ collisions and annihilation. We also review high energy $\gamma\gamma$ tests of quantum chromodynamics, such as the scaling of the photon structure function, $t \bar t$ production, mini-jet processes, and diffractive reactions.

We investigate the chiral symmetry and its spontaneous breaking at finite temperature and in an external magnetic field with four-fermion interactions of different channels. Quantum and thermal fluctuations are included within the functional renormalization group approach, and properties of the set of flow equations for different couplings, such as its fixed points, are discussed. It is found that external parameters, e.g. the temperature and the external magnetic field and so on, do not change the structure of the renormalization group flows for the couplings. The flow strength is found to be significantly dependent on the route and direction in the plane of couplings of different channels. Therefore, the critical temperature for the chiral phase transition shows a pronounced dependence on the direction as well. Given fixed initial ultraviolet couplings, the critical temperature increases with the increasing magnetic field, viz., the magnetic catalysis is observed with initial couplings fixed.

From $\mathcal{O}(p^{2})$ to $\mathcal{O}(p^{4})$, there are 19, 74, and 452 independent terms in the two-flavor case and 25, 112, and 864 independent terms in the three-flavor case.

We present the low-energy constant relations between the relativistic case and the case in the heavy diquark limit up to the order $\mathcal{O}(p^{3})$.

Phenomenology of neutralino dark matter in the minimal supersymmetric model is discussed for a scenario where the lightest Higgs boson mass is lighter than 114.4 GeV. We show that the scenario is consistent not only with many collider experiments but also with the observed relic abundance of dark matter. The allowed region may be probed by experiments of Bs to mu^+ mu^- in near future. The scenario predicts a large scattering cross section between the dark matter and ordinary matter and thus it may be tested in present direct detection experiments of dark matter.

We perform the most attractive channel (MAC) analysis in the top mode standard model with TeV-scale extra dimensions, where the standard model gauge bosons and the third generation of quarks and leptons are put in D(=6,8,...) dimensions. In order to make the scenario viable, only the attractive force of the top condensate should exceed the critical coupling, while other channels such as the bottom and tau condensates should not. It turns out that the top condensate can be the MAC for D=8, whereas the tau condensation is favored for D=6. On the basis of the renormalization group equations for the top Yukawa and Higgs quartic couplings, we predict masses of the top quark and the Higgs boson for D=8 as m_t=172-175 GeV and m_H=176-188 GeV, respectively.

The ratio of the diffractive production to the total cross section in DIS is computed as a function of the produced mass. The analysis is based on the solution to the non-linear evolution equation for the diffraction dissociation in DIS. The obtained ratios almost do not depend on the central mass energy in agreement with the HERA experimental data. This independence is argued to be a consequence of the scaling phenomena displayed by the cross sections. As a weakness point a significant discrepancy between the data and the obtained results is found in the absolute values of the ratios. Several explanatory reasons are discussed.

The $\rho(770)$ vector resonance, its radial recurrences, and the corresponding P-wave $\pi\pi$ phase shifts are investigated in an unquenched quark model with all classes of relevant decay channels included, viz. pseudoscalar-pseudoscalar, vector-pseudoscalar, vector-vector, vector-scalar, axialvector-pseudoscalar, and axialvector-vector, totalling 26 channels. Two of the few model parameters are fixed at previously used values, whereas the other three are adjusted to the $\rho(770)$ resonance and the lower P-wave $\pi\pi$ phases. Preliminary results indicate the model's capacity to reproduce these phases as well as the $\rho$ mass and width. However, at higher energies the phase shifts tend to rise too sharply. A possible remedy is an extension of the model so as to handle resonances in the final states for most of the included decay channels. Work in progress.

A heavy scalar field such as moduli or an inflaton generally mixes with a field responsible for the supersymmetry breaking. We study the scalar decay into the standard model particles and their superpartners, gravitinos, and the supersymmetry breaking sector, particularly paying attention to decay modes that proceed via the mixing between the scalar and the supersymmetry breaking field. The impacts of the new decay processes on cosmological scenarios are also discussed; the modulus field generically produces too much gravitinos, and most of the inflation models tend to result in too high reheating temperature and/or gravitino overproduction.

We discuss two models for describing the behavior of matter at large densities and intermediate temperatures. In both models a softening of the equation of state takes place due to the appearance of new degrees of freedom. The first is a hadronic model in which the softening is due to chiral symmetry restoration. In the second model the softening is associated with the formation of clusters of quarks in the mixed phase. We show that both models allow a significant softening but, in the first case the bulk modulus is mainly dependent on the density, while in the mixed phase model it also strongly depends on the temperature. We also show that the bulk modulus is not vanishing in the mixed phase due to the presence of two conserved charges, the baryon and the isospin one. Only in a small region of densities and temperatures the incompressibility becomes extremely small. Finally we compare our results with recent analysis of heavy ion collisions at intermediate energies.

The polarized photon structure is described by two spin structure functions $g_1^\gamma$ and $g_2^\gamma$ which can be studied in the future polarized ep or e$^+$e$^-$ colliders. Here we investigate the QCD twist-3 effects in $g_2^\gamma$ to the leading order in QCD.

We demonstrate the impact that present lepton flavour and CP violation data - neutrino oscillations, baryon asymmetry of the universe, flavour violations in charged lepton decays and lepton electric dipole moments - have on supersymmetric seesaw theories by analysing the class of models based on a U(1) flavour symmetry. The fermion U(1) charges are determined to a large extent by the data, the flavour patterns being naturally defined through their choice. The selected models generically predict mu -> e gamma within the reach of the projected experiments, which could be sensitive enough to exclude the whole class of them. By now, the present sensitivity to mu -> e gamma already provides stringent bounds on the contribution of the seesaw couplings to the lepton electric dipole moments.

We make use of classical lattice simulations in 3 + 1 dimensions to study the preheating stage of Higgs Inflation in Einstein-Cartan gravity. Focusing for concreteness on a simplified scenario involving the seminal Nieh-Yan term, we demonstrate the formation of dense and spatially localized oscillon configurations constituting up to 70% of the total energy density. The emergence of these meta-stable objects may lead to a prolonged period of matter domination, effectively modifying the post-inflationary history of the Universe as compared to the metric and Palatini counterparts. Notably, the creation of oscillons comes together with a significant gravitational wave signal, whose typical frequency lies, however, beyond the range accessible by existing and planned gravitational wave experiments. The impact of the Standard Model gauge bosons and fermions and the potential extension of our results to more general Einstein-Cartan settings is also discussed.

Dark matter particles captured in neutron stars deposit their energy as heat. This DM heating effect can be observed only if it dominates over other internal heating effects in NSs. In this work, as an example of such an internal heating source, we consider the frictional heating caused by the creep motion of neutron superfluid vortex lines in the NS crust. The luminosity of this heating effect is controlled by the strength of the interaction between the vortex lines and nuclei in the crust, which can be estimated from the many-body calculation of a high-density nuclear system as well as through the temperature observation of old NSs. We show that both the temperature observation and theoretical calculation suggest that the vortex creep heating dominates over the DM heating. The vortex-nuclei interaction must be smaller than the estimated values by several orders of magnitude to overturn this.

Dark matter (DM) direct detection experiments which are directionally-sensitive may be the only method of probing the full velocity distribution function (VDF) of the Galactic DM halo. We present an angular basis for the DM VDF which can be used to parametrise the distribution in order to mitigate astrophysical uncertainties in future directional experiments and extract information about the DM halo. This basis consists of discretising the VDF in a series of angular bins, with the VDF being only a function of the DM speed $v$ within each bin. In contrast to other methods, such as spherical harmonic expansions, the use of this basis allows us to guarantee that the resulting VDF is everywhere positive and therefore physical. We present a recipe for calculating the event rates corresponding to the discrete VDF for an arbitrary number of angular bins $N$ and investigate the discretisation error which is introduced in this way. For smooth, Standard Halo Model-like distribution functions, only $N=3$ angular bins are required to achieve an accuracy of around $10-30\%$ in the number of events in each bin. Shortly after confirmation of the DM origin of the signal with around 50 events, this accuracy should be sufficient to allow the discretised velocity distribution to be employed reliably. For more extreme VDFs (such as streams), the discretisation error is typically much larger, but can be improved with increasing $N$. This method paves the way towards an astrophysics-independent analysis framework for the directional detection of dark matter.

A three-dimensional reduction of the homogeneous Bethe-Salpeter equation retaining, in contrast to the Salpeter equation, the exact propagators (crucial for, e.g., a proper incorporation of dynamical chiral symmetry breakdown) is proposed. This formalism may be easily extended to Bethe-Salpeter equations for bound states composed of particles that are not, or not all, identical to spin-1/2 fermions as well as to three-dimensional reductions of the Bethe-Salpeter equation different from Salpeter's equation.

General classes of mechanisms for generating small neutrino masses are surveyed from a top-down (superstring) perspective. In particular, string constructions have motivated various possibilities involving higher-dimensional operators, string instantons, and wave function overlaps in large or warped extra dimensions. These may yield small Dirac masses, Majorana masses via the Weinberg operator, or Majorana masses from a seesaw mechanism, though the latter typically differ in detail from the more conventional GUT models. Possibilities for mixing between light active and sterile neutrinos are surveyed.

Recently a nice work about the understanding of one-loop integrals has been done in [1] using the tricks of the projective space language associated to their Feynman parametrization. We find this language is also very suitable to deal with the reduction problem of one-loop integrals with general tensor structures as well as propagators with arbitrary higher powers. In this paper, we show that how to combine Feynman parametrization and embedding formalism to give a universal treatment of reductions for general one-loop integrals, even including the degenerated cases, such as the vanishing Gram determinant. Results from this method can be written in a compact and symmetric form.

We show that dark matter axions or axion-like particles (ALP) induce spontaneously alternating electric currents in conductors along the external magnetic fields due to the (medium) axial anomaly, realizing the chiral magnetic effects (CME). We propose a new experiment to measure this current to detect the dark matter axions or ALP. These induced currents are the electron medium effects, directly proportional to the axion or ALP coupling to electrons, which depends on their microscopic physics. In the experimental setup one measures both currents, the electric current due to CME and the current due to the anomalous axion-photon coupling. However with ferromagnetic conductors like irons the CME current can be dominant.

I review some recent results on the Higgs sector of minimal SO(10) grand unified theories both with and without supersymmetry. It is shown that nonsupersymmetric SO(10) with just one adjoint triggering the first stage of the symmetry breaking does provide a successful gauge unification when radiative corrections are taken into account in the scalar potential, while in the supersymmetric case it is argued that the troubles in achieving a phenomenologically viable breaking with representations up to the adjoint are overcome by considering the flipped SO(10) embedding of the hypercharge.

Effects of the inhomogeneous matter density on the three-generation neutrino oscillation probability are analyzed. Realistic profile of the matter density is expanded into a Fourier series. Taking in the Fourier modes one by one, we demonstrate that each mode has its corresponding target energy. The high Fourier mode selectively modifies the oscillation probability of the low-energy region. This rule is well described by the parametric resonance between the neutrino oscillation and the matter effect. The Fourier analysis gives a simple guideline to systematically control the uncertainty of the oscillation probability caused by the uncertain density of matter. Precise analysis of the oscillation probability down to the low-energy region requires accurate evaluation of the Fourier coefficients of the matter density up to the corresponding high modes.

The energy loss of high p_T partons propagating through a hot and dense medium is regarded as a valuable tool to probe the medium created in ultrarelativistic heavy-ion collisions. The angular correlation pattern of hadrons associated with a hard trigger in the region of p_T ~1-2 GeV which exhibits a dip in the expected position of the away side jet has given rise to the idea that energy is lost predominantly to propagating collective modes ('Mach cones'). Recent measurements by the STAR collaboration have shown that for a high p_T > 8 GeV trigger the angular pattern of associate hadrons for p_T > 4 GeV shows the emergence of the expected away side peak. These di-jet events suggest that the away side parton may emerge occasionally without substantial energy loss. Since in such a back-to-back configuration one of the partons may travel through the central region of the fireball, the average in-medium pathlength is substantial and the expected energy loss is not only sensitive to the initial geometry of matter but also to the change of geometry due to expansion. We show that radiative energy loss is able to explain the dijet events provided that the expansion of the medium is taken into account.

Measurement of the top-Yukawa coupling is important to understand the fermion mass generation mechanism and dynamics of electroweak symmetry breaking. We discuss the top quark anomalous couplings which can be described by higher dimensional operators. We investigate the process $e^-e^+ \to W^-W^+\nu\bar\nu \to t \bar t \nu\bar\nu$ to study the contribution of the anomalous top-Higgs coupling to the cross section. The effect of the dimension-six top-Higgs interaction on the cross section can be a few hundred percent greater than the SM prediction. Such a large effect can be measured at the International Linear Collider.

In the popular littlest Higgs model, T-parity can be broken by Wess-Zumino-Witten (WZW) terms induced by a strongly coupled UV completion. On the other hand, certain models with multiple scalar multiplets (called moose models) permit the implementation of an exchange symmetry (X-parity) such that it is not broken by the WZW terms. Here we present a concrete and realistic construction of such a model. The little Higgs model with X-Parity is a concrete and realistic implementation of this idea. In this contribution, the properties of the model are reviewed and the collider phenomenology is discussed in some detail. We also present new results on the decay properties and LHC signatures of the light triplet scalars that are predicted by this model.

We re-examine lepton flavor violation (LFV) in the Littlest Higgs model with T--parity (LHT) including the full T--odd (non-singlet) lepton and Goldstone sectors. The heavy leptons induce two independent sources of LFV associated with the couplings necessary to give masses to the T--odd mirror fermions and to their partners in right-handed $SO(5)$ multiplets, respectively. The latter, which have been neglected in the past, can be decoupled from gauge mediated processes but not from Higgs mediated ones and must therefore also be included in a general analysis of LFV in the LHT. We also further extend previous analyses by considering on-shell $Z$ and Higgs LFV decays together with the LFV processes at low momentum transfer. We show that current experimental limits can probe the LHT parameter space up to global symmetry breaking scales $f \sim 10$ TeV. For lower $f$ values $\gtrsim 1$ TeV, $\mu-e$ transitions require the misalignment between the heavy and the Standard Model charged leptons to be $\lesssim 1 \, \%$. Future LFV experiments using intense muon beams should be sensitive to misalignments below the per mille level. For $\tau$ LFV transitions, which could potentially be observed at Belle II and the LHC as well as future lepton colliders, we find that generically they can not discriminate between the LHT and supersymmetric models though in some regions of parameter space this may be possible.

This is a talk, given at Diffraction'2000, Sept. 2 - 7, Centraro, Italy. This talk is a brief presentation of our view on the Pomeron, as a non-perturbative QCD phenomenon but from sufficiently short distances. Our approach is based on the scale anomaly of QCD and emphasizes the r{\^o}le of semi-classical QCD vacuum fields. We show that both the intercept and the slope of Pomeron trajectory appear to be determined by the energy density of non-perturbative QCD vacuum. The particular example of semi-classical QCD vacuum fields is discussed based on a new type of instanton-induced interactions (``instanton ladder'') that leads to the rising with energy cross section $\sigma \sim s^{\Delta_P}$ of Regge type (the Pomeron).

The structure, spectroscopic parameters and width of the resonance with quantum numbers $J^{PC}=1^{++}$ discovered by the COMPASS Collaboration and classified as the $a_1(1420)$ meson are examined in the context of QCD sum rule method. In the calculations the axial-vector meson $a_1(1420)$ is treated as a four-quark state with the diquark-antidiquark structure. The mass and current coupling of $a_1(1420)$ are evaluated using QCD two-point sum rule approach. Its observed decay mode $a_1(1420) \to f_0(980)\pi$, and kinematically allowed ones, namely $a_1 \to K^{\ast \pm}K^{\mp}$, $a_1 \to K^{\ast 0} \bar{K}^{0}$ and $a_1 \to \bar {K}^{\ast 0} K^{0}$ channels are studied employing QCD sum rules on the light-cone. Our prediction for the mass of the $a_1(1420)$ state $m_{a_{1}}=1416_{-79}^{+81}\ \mathrm{MeV}$ is in excellent agreement with the experimental result. Width of this state $ \Gamma=145.52 \pm 20.79 \mathrm{MeV}$ within theoretical and experimental errors is also in accord with the COMPASS data.

Higgs Bosons produced via gluon-gluon fusion (ggF) with large transverse momentum ($p_T$) are sensitive probes of physics beyond the Standard Model. However, high $p_T$ Higgs Boson production is contaminated by a diversity of production modes other than ggF: vector boson fusion, production of a Higgs boson in association with a vector boson, and production of a Higgs boson with a top-quark pair. Combining jet substructure and event information with modern machine learning, we demonstrate the ability to focus on particular production modes. These tools hold great discovery potential for boosted Higgs bosons produced via ggF and may also provide additional information about the Higgs Boson sector of the Standard Model in extreme phase space regions for other production modes as well.

We study the transverse single-spin asymmetry (TSSA) in $p^{\uparrow}p \to J/\psi X$ reaction, incorporating both transverse-momentum and spin effects. To predict production cross section of prompt $J/\psi$ we use two different approaches, the non-relativistic QCD (NRQCD) factorization approach and the Improved Color Evaporation Model (ICEM), and show how the predicted results for TSSAs depend on choice of hadronization model. For initial-state factorization we consider two models: the standard Generalized Parton Model (GPM) and the Colour Gauge-Invariant version of it (CGI-GPM). We demonstrate that PHENIX collaboration data on TSSA in the process $p^{\uparrow}p \to J/\psi X$ constrain the gluon Sivers function of the proton and rule-out one of existing parameterizations. Estimates for the TSSAs in $p^{\uparrow}p \to J/\psi X$ process for the conditions of the future SPD NICA experiment are presented for the first time.

The Good-Walker mechanism for diffraction is shown to provide a link between total and diffractive structure functions and to be relevant for QCD calculations at small x_{Bj}. For Deep-Inelastic scattering on a small-size target (cf. an onium) the r\^ ole of Good-Walker ``diffractive eigenstates'' is played by the QCD dipoles appearing in the $1/N_C$ limit of QCD. Hard diffraction is thus related to the QCD tripe-dipole vertex which has been recently identified (and calculated) as being a conformal invariant correlator and/or a closed-string amplitude. An extension to hard diffraction at HERA via $k_T-$factorisation of the proton vertices leads to interesting phenomenology.

By solving exactly the Faddeev equations for the bound-state problem of three mesons, we demonstrate that current theoretical predictions pointing to the existence of a deeply-bound doubly bottom axial vector tetraquark lead to the existence of a unique bound state of three $B$ mesons. We find that the $BB^*B^*-B^*B^*B^*$ state with quantum numbers $(I)J^P=(1/2)2^-$, $T_{bbb}$, is about 90\,MeV below any possible three $B$-meson threshold for the reported binding of the doubly bottom axial vector tetraquark, $T_{bb}$.

We discuss new bounds on vectors coupled to currents whose non-conservation is due to mass terms, such as $U(1)_{L_\mu - L_\tau}$. Due to the emission of many final state longitudinally polarized gauge bosons, inclusive rates grow exponentially fast in energy, leading to constraints that are only logarithmically dependent on the symmetry breaking mass term. This exponential growth is unique to Stueckelberg theories and reverts back to polynomial growth at energies above the mass of the radial mode. We present bounds coming from the high transverse mass tail of mono-lepton+missing transverse energy events at the LHC, which beat out cosmological bounds to place the strongest limit on Stueckelberg $U(1)_{L_\mu - L_\tau}$ models for most masses below a keV. We also discuss a stronger, but much more uncertain, bound coming from the validity of perturbation theory at the LHC.

We study a fermionic Dark Matter particle carrying magnetic dipole moment and analyze its impact on direct detection experiments. In particular we show that it can accommodate the DAMA, CoGeNT and CRESST experimental results. Assuming conservative bounds, this candidate is shown not to be ruled out by the CDMS, XENON and PICASSO experiments. We offer an analytic understanding of how the long-range interaction modifies the experimental allowed regions, in the cross section versus Dark Matter mass parameter space, with respect to the typically assumed contact interaction. Finally, in the context of a symmetric Dark Matter sector, we determine the associated thermal relic density, and further provide relevant constraints imposed by indirect searches and colliders.

We explore the possibility of a single generation of $keV$ scale sterile neutrino ($m_S$) as a dark matter candidate within the minimal extended seesaw (MES) framework and it's influence in neutrinoless double beta decay ($0\nu\beta\beta$) study. Three hierarchical right-handed neutrinos were considered to explain neutrino mass. We also address baryogenesis via the mechanism of thermal leptogenesis considering the decay of the lightest RH neutrino to a lepton and Higgs doublet. A generic model based on $A_4\times Z_4\times Z_3$ flavor symmetry is constructed to explain both normal and inverted hierarchy mass pattern of neutrinos. Significant results on effective neutrino masses are observed in presence of sterile mass ($m_S$) and active-sterile mixing ($\theta_{S}$) in $0\nu\beta\beta$. Results from $0\nu\beta\beta$ give stringent upper bounds on the active-sterile mixing matrix element. To establish sterile neutrino as dark matter within this model, we checked decay width and relic abundance of the sterile neutrino, which restricted sterile mass ($m_S$) within some definite bounds. Constrained regions on the CP-phases and Yukawa couplings are obtained from $0\nu\beta\beta$ and baryogenesis results.

We explore the possibility of a single generation of $keV$ scale sterile neutrino ($m_S$) as a dark matter candidate within the minimal extended seesaw (MES) framework and it's influence in neutrinoless double beta decay ($0\nu\beta\beta$) study. Three hierarchical right-handed neutrinos were considered to explain neutrino mass. We also address baryogenesis via the mechanism of thermal leptogenesis considering the decay of the lightest RH neutrino to a lepton and Higgs doublet. A generic model based on $A_4\times Z_4\times Z_3$ flavor symmetry is constructed to explain both normal and inverted hierarchy mass pattern of neutrinos. Significant results on effective neutrino masses are observed in presence of sterile mass ($m_S$) and active-sterile mixing ($\theta_{S}$) in $0\nu\beta\beta$. Results from $0\nu\beta\beta$ give stringent upper bounds on the active-sterile mixing matrix element. To establish sterile neutrino as dark matter within this model, we checked decay width and relic abundance of the sterile neutrino, which restricted sterile mass ($m_S$) within some definite bounds. Constrained regions on the CP-phases and Yukawa couplings are obtained from $0\nu\beta\beta$ and baryogenesis results. Co-relations among these observable are also established and discussed within this framework.

We propose a model which explains the baryon asymmetry of the universe and dark matter relic density at the same time. In this model, dark matter candidate is the dark baryon composed by dark quarks. A scalar mediator, which couples to the standard model leptons and dark quarks, is introduced to generate the asymmetry of baryon and dark baryon simultaneously. Direct detection and collider detection of this model are studied. We find that current underground direct detection experiments and LHC can hardly detect this model. But future lepton colliders, such as CEPC, have great potential to detect a large portion of the model parameter space by "displaced lepton jet" signal.

The search of new physics~(NP) beyond the Standard Model is one of the most important tasks of high energy physics. A common characteristic of the NP signals is that they are usually few and kinematically different. We use a model independent strategy to study the phenomenology of NP by directly picking out and studying the kinematically unusual events. For this purpose, the isolation forest~(IF) algorithm is applied, which is found to be efficient in identifying the signal events of the anomalous quartic gauge couplings~(aQGCs). The IF algorithm can also be used to constraint the coefficients of aQGCs. As a machine learning algorithm, the IF algorithm shows a good prospect in the future studies of NP.

The ratio of $K_S K_S$ ($K_L K_L$) and $K_S K_L$ production rates is calculated by considering $K^0 - K^0bar$ oscillation in $J/\psi \to K^0K^0bar$ decay. The theoretical uncertainty due to strong interaction in $J/\psi$ decay is completely canceled in the ratio, therefore, the absolute branching fractions of the \CP violating processes of $J/\psi \to K_S K_S $ and $K_L K_L$ can be cleanly and model-independently determined in case that $J/\psi \to K_S K_L$ decay is precisely measured. In the future $\tau$-Charm factory, the expected \CP violating process of $J/\psi \to K_S K_S $ should be reached. It is important to measure $J/\psi$ to $K_S K_S$ and K_S K_L decays simultaneously, so that many systematic errors will be canceled. More precise measurements are suggested to examine the predicted isospin relation in $J/\psi \to KKbar$ decays. All results can be extended to decays of other vector quarkonia, $\phi$, $\psi(2S)$ and $\Upsilon(1S)$ and so on.

Recent measurements of the inelastic and total proton-proton cross section at the LHC, and at cosmic ray energies by the Auger experiment, have quantitatively confirmed fits to lower energy data constrained by the assumption that the proton is asymptotically a black disk of gluons. We show that data on \bar p(p)p,\pi^\mp p, and K^\mp p forward scattering support the related expectation that the asymptotic behavior of all cross sections is flavor independent. By using the most recent measurements from ATLAS, CMS, TOTEM and Auger, we predict \sigma^{pp}_{\rm tot} (\sqrt s=8 {\rm TeV})=100.6 \pm 2.9 mb and \sigma^{pp}_{\rm tot} (\sqrt s=14 {\rm TeV})=110.8 \pm 3.5 mb, as well as refine the total cross section \sigma^{pp}_{\rm tot} (\sqrt s=57 {\rm TeV})=139.6 \pm 5.4 mb.

Experimental investigations of the phase diagram of strongly interacting matter involve collisions of heavy ions at ultrarelativistic velocities. The medium created in such a collision is often of dimensions a few fermi, in particular in the Beam Energy Scan experiments. An understanding of the effect of the finite volume and the boundary is important for connecting the experimental results to the phase diagram. Using the Nambu Jona-Lasinio model, an effective theory for the chiral transition of quantum chromodynamics (QCD), we have studied the effect of the finite volume of the fireball on the transition line at finite temperature and density using the MIT boundary condition to mimic the condition that the system is deconfined inside. The shift of the transition temperature for finite volume and finite volume effect on number density and its susceptibilities are studied. The volume effects should be considered when looking for signatures of the phase diagram in experiments.

We consider the axion arising from five-dimensional supergravity in the presence of boundaries. We find the approximate bosonic effective action to estimate the lower bound on the "Peccei-Quinn" energy scale with a flat bulk. With a warped bulk, one can obtain a scale within the standard window; this puts a bound on the required curvature scale relative to the proper separation between boundaries. We comment on the scalar potential that may ruin the strong-CP resolution, and the effective derivative coupling to matter in 5D hypermultiplets.

We study a minimal model for a light scalar dark matter, requiring a light scalar mediator to address the core-cusp problem and interact with the standard model particles. We analyze the model comprehensively by focusing on the Breit-Wigner resonance for dark matter annihilation and self-scattering channels, considering the thermal relic abundance condition that includes the early kinetic decoupling effect, as well as the present and future constraints from collider, direct, and indirect dark matter detections. We found that the scalar dark matter with the mass of 0.3-2 GeV remains uncharted, which will be efficiently tested by the near future MeV gamma-ray observations.

Electroweak precision observables allow stringent tests of the Standard Model at the quantum level and imply interesting bounds on the mass of the Higgs boson through higher-order loop effects. Very significant constraints come especially from the determination of the mass of the W boson and from the effective leptonic weak mixing angle. After shortly reviewing the status of theoretical computations of the W mass, the new calculation of two-loop corrections with closed fermion loops to the effective leptonic weak mixing angle is discussed in detail. The phenomenological implications of the new result are analyzed including an estimate of remaining uncertainties.

Very recently a novel implementation of type-II seesaw mechanism for neutrino mass has been proposed in SU(5) grand unified theory with a number of desirable new physical phenomena beyond the standard model.Introducing heavy right-haded neutrinos and extra fermion singlets, in this work we show how the type-I seeaw cancellation mechanism works in this SU(5) framework. Besides predicting verifiable LFV decays, we further show that the model predicts dominant double beta decay with normal hierarchy or inverted hierarchy of active light neutrino masses in concordance with cosmological bound. In addition, a novel mechanism for heavy right-handed neutrino mass generation independent of type-II seesaw predicted mass hierarchy, is suggested in this work.

We revisit neutrino oscillations in constant matter density for a number of different scenarios: three flavors with the standard Wolfenstein matter potential, four flavors with standard matter potential and three flavors with non-standard matter potentials. To calculate the oscillation probabilities for these scenarios one must determine the eigenvalues and eigenvectors of the Hamiltonians. We use a method for calculating the eigenvalues that is well known, determination of the zeros of determinant of matrix $(\lambda I -H)$, where H is the Hamiltonian, I the identity matrix and $\lambda$ is a scalar. To calculate the associated eigenvectors we use a method that is little known in the particle physics community, the calculation of the adjugate (transpose of the cofactor matrix) of the same matrix, $(\lambda I -H)$. This method can be applied to any Hamiltonian, but provides a very simple way to determine the eigenvectors for neutrino oscillation in matter, independent of the complexity of the matter potential. This method can be trivially automated using the Faddeev-LeVerrier algorithm for numerical calculations. For the above scenarios we derive a number of quantities that are invariant of the matter potential, many are new such as the generalization of the Naumov-Harrison-Scott identity for four or more flavors of neutrinos. We also show how these matter potential independent quantities become matter potential dependent when off-diagonal non-standard matter effects are included.

We propose a new scenario of baryogenesis in the context of theories with large extra dimensions. The baryon number is almost conserved at zero temperature by means of a localization mechanism recently analyzed by Arkani-Hamed and Schmaltz: leptons and quarks are located at two slightly displaced positions in the extra space, and this naturally suppresses the interactions which ``convert'' the latter in the former. We show that this is expected to be no longer true when finite temperature effects are taken into account. The whole scenario is first presented in its generality, without referring to the bulk geometry or to the specific mechanism which may generate the baryon asymmetry. As an example, we then focus on a baryogenesis model reminiscent of GUT baryogenesis. The Sakharov out of equilibrium condition is satisfied by assuming nonthermal production of the bosons that induce baryon number violation.

Using a previously derived QCD effective hamiltonian we find the masses of heavy quarkonia states. Non perturbative effects are included through temperature dependent gluonic condensates. We find that even a moderate change in these condensates in a hot hadronic environment (below the deconfining transition) is sufficient to significantly change the heavy meson masses.

We calculate techni-pion masses of the walking technicolor (WTC), by explicitly evaluating nontrivial contributions from various possible chiral breaking sources in a concrete WTC setting of the one-family model. Our explicit computation of the mass and the coupling in this concrete model setting reveals that the techni-pions are on the order of several hundred GeV in the region to be discovered at LHC.

In quantum theory, the so-called "spinless Salpeter equation," the relativistic generalization of the nonrelativistic Schroedinger equation, is used to describe both bound states of scalar particles and the spin-averaged spectra of bound states of fermions. A numerical procedure solves the spinless Salpeter equation by approximating this eigenvalue equation by a matrix eigenvalue problem with explicitly known matrices.

Different from the usual tetraquark assignment to charged $Z_c(3885)$ and $Z_c(4025)$ charmoniumlike structures, in this letter we propose a universal non-resonant explanation to decode these $Z_c$'s, which is based on a special dynamical behavior of $e^+e^-\to D^{(*)}\bar{D}^*\pi$. Our study shows that $Z_c(3885)$ and $Z_c(4025)$ are only the reflection from the $P$-wave charmed meson $D_1(2420)$ involved in $e^+e^-\to D^{(*)}\bar{D}^*\pi$. Obviously, the present work provides a unique perspective, which can be examined by future experiments like BESIII and BelleII.
