Small Q-D neutrino masses from a generic lepton mass hierarchy

Exponential lepton mass ratios are studied in a low energy phenomenology. In view of the known data, the mass patterns of the charged leptons and widely discussed quasi-degenerate neutrinos are related to one another by two different traits - opposite mass ratios with large versus small exponents, and probably conformable mass-degeneracy-deviation hierarchies. The solar-atmospheric hierarchy parameter should have a special physical meaning in the Q-D neutrino scenario. A general generic hierarchy equation with two opposite solutions respectively for the charged lepton and neutrino mass ratios is considered. It determines a small upper bound on the Q-D neutrino mass scale, with estimations: m = 0.30 eV at 90% C.L., and m = 0.18 eV at best-fit mass-squared differences.

After briefly reviewing the status of epsilon'/epsilon in the Standard Model, I discuss SUSY contributions to epsilon'/epsilon, K^+ to pi^+ nu bar nu, K_L to pi^0 nu bar nu and K_L to pi^0 e^+ e^-. While in the simplest case of the MSSM with Minimal Flavour Violation the main effect is a suppression of these transitions with respect to the Standard Model, large enhancements are possible in more general SUSY models, with interesting correlations among the different processes.

We discuss how unification of the gauge, Higgs and (three chiral family) matter superfields can be realized from the compactification of a six dimensional supersymmetric SU(8) gauge theory over the orbifold R^4 x T^2/Z_3. The bulk gauge interaction includes Yukawa interactions to generate masses for quarks and leptons after the electroweak symmetry is broken. The Yukawa matrices in this case turn out to be antisymmetric, and thus not phenomenologically viable. To overcome this we introduce brane fields which are vector-like under the standard model gauge symmetry, and so do not alter the number of chiral families. In such a setup, the observed fermion masses and mixings can be realized by taking into account suppression effects from the effective Wilson line couplings and large volume of the extra dimensions.

We study the effects of kination and scalar-tensor pre-Big Bang Nucleosynthesis cosmologies on the non-resonant production of sterile neutrinos. We show that if the peak of the production rate of sterile neutrinos occurs during the non-standard cosmological phase, the relic number density of sterile neutrinos could be reduced with respect to the number expected in the standard cosmology. Consequently, current bounds on active-sterile neutrino mixing derived from the relic energy density of sterile neutrinos could be greatly relaxed. In particular, we show that the sterile neutrinos which could explain the anomalies found in short-baseline neutrino experiments are compatible with recent joint Planck upper limits on their contribution to the energy density of the Universe in a scalar-tensor or a low-reheating temperature pre-Big Bang Nucleosynthesis cosmology.

$\gamma$-jet production is considered one of the best probes of the hot quark-gluon plasma in high-energy heavy-ion collisions since the direct $\gamma$ can be used to gauge the initial energy and momentum of the associated jet. This is investigated within the Linear Boltzmann Transport (LBT) model for jet propagation and jet-induced medium excitation. With both parton energy loss and medium response from jet-medium interaction included, LBT can describe experimental data well on $\gamma$-jet correlation in Pb+Pb collisions at the Large Hadron Collider. Multiple jets associated with direct $\gamma$ production are found to contribute significantly to $\gamma$-jet correlation at small $p_T^{\rm jet}<p_T^\gamma$ and large azimuthal angle relative to the opposite direction of $\gamma$. Jet medium interaction not only suppresses the leading jet at large $p_T^{\rm jet}$ but also sub-leading jets at large azimuthal angle. This effectively leads to the narrowing of $\gamma$-jet correlation in azimuthal angle instead of broadening due to jet-medium interaction. The $\gamma$-jet profile on the other hand will be broadened due to jet-medium interaction and jet-induced medium response. Energy flow measurements relative to the direct photon is illustrated to reflect well the broadening and jet-induced medium response.

The heavy quark pole mass in perturbation theory suffers from a renormalon caused, inherent uncertainty of $O(\Lambda_{\rm QCD})$. This fundamental difficulty of determining the pole mass to an accuracy better than the inherent uncertainty can be overcome by direct resummation of the first infrared renormalon. We show how a properly defined pole mass as well as the $\bar {\rm MS}$ mass for the top and bottom quarks can be determined accurately from the $O(m\alpha_s^5)$ quarkonium ground state energy.

We show that a stationary solution of the Einstein-Maxwell equations which is close to a non-degenerate Reissner-Nordstr\"om-de Sitter solution is in fact equal to a slowly rotating Kerr-Newman-de Sitter solution. The proof uses the non-linear stability of the Kerr-Newman-de Sitter family of black holes for small angular momenta, recently established by the author, together with an extension argument for Killing vector fields. Our black hole uniqueness result only requires the solution to have high but finite regularity; in particular, we do not make any analyticity assumptions.

The perturbative treatment of realistic quantum field theories, such as quantum electrodynamics, requires the use of mathematical idealizations in the approximation series for scattering amplitudes. Such mathematical idealisations are necessary to derive empirically relevant models from the theory. Mathematical idealizations can be either controlled or uncontrolled, depending on whether current scientific knowledge can explain whether the effects of the idealization are negligible or not. Drawing upon negative formal results in asymptotic analysis (failure of Borel summability) and renormalization group theory (failure of asymptotic safety), we argue that the mathematical idealizations applied in perturbative quantum electrodynamics should be understood as uncontrolled. This, in turn, leads to the problematic conclusion that such theories do not have theoretical models in the standard understanding of this term. The existence of unquestionable empirically successful theories without theoretical models has significant implications both for our understanding of the theory-model relationship in physics and the concept of empirical adequacy.

We present a model of leptogenesis that preserves lepton number. The model maintains the important feature of more traditional leptogenesis scenarios: the decaying particles that provide the CP violation necessary for baryogenesis also provide the explanation for the smallness of the neutrino Yukawa couplings. This model clearly demonstrates that, contrary to conventional wisdom, neutrinos need not be Majorana in nature in order to help explain the baryon asymmetry of the universe.

Once the existence of the Higgs boson is established at the CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC), the focus will be shifted toward understanding its couplings to other particles. A crucial aspect is the measurement of the bottom Yukawa coupling, which is challenging at the LHC. In this paper we study the use of forward jet tagging as a means to secure the observation and to significantly improve the purity of the Higgs boson signal in the H to bbar decay mode from deep inelastic electron-proton scattering at the LHC. We demonstrate that the requirement of forward jet tagging in charged current events strongly enhances the signal-to-background ratio. The impact of a veto on additional partons is also discussed. Excellent response to hadronic shower and b-tagging capabilities are pivotal detector performance aspects.

I here investigate what is arguably the most significant residual challenge for the proposal of phenomenologically viable "DSR deformations" of relativistic kinematics, which concerns the description of composite particles, such as atoms. In some approaches to the formalization of possible scenarios for DSR-deformation of Lorentz symmetry it emerges that composite particles should have relativistic properties different from the ones of their constituent "fundamental particles", but these previous results provided no clue as to how the mismatch of relativistic properties could be consistently implemented. I show that it is possible to implement a fully consistent DSR-relativistic description of kinematics endowing different types of particles with suitably different deformed-Lorentz-symmetry properties. I also contemplate the possibility that some types of particles (or macroscopic bodies) behave according to completely undeformed special relativity, which in particular might apply to the DSR description of the macroscopic bodies that constitute measuring devices ("observers"). The formalization is also applicable to cases where different fundamental particles have different relativistic properties, leading to a type of phenomenology which I illustrate by considering possible applications to the ongoing analyses of the "Lorentz-symmetry anomaly" that was recently tentatively reported by the OPERA collaboration. Some of the new elements here introduced in the formulation of relativistic kinematics appear to also provide the starting point for the development of a correspondingly novel mathematical formulation of spacetime-symmetry algebras.

The procedure to find gauge invariant variables for two-parameter nonlinear perturbations in general relativity is considered. For each order metric perturbation, we define the variable which is defined by the appropriate combination with lower order metric perturbations. Under the gauge transformation, this variable is transformed in the manner similar to the gauge transformation of the linear order metric perturbation. We confirm this up to third order. This implies that gauge invariant variables for higher order metric perturbations can be found by using a procedure similar to that for linear order metric perturbations. We also derive gauge invariant combinations for the perturbation of an arbitrary physical variable, other than the spacetime metric, up to third order.

We continue our program of describing hadrons as rotating strings with massive endpoints. In this paper we propose models of baryons and confront them with the baryon Regge trajectories. We show that these are best fitted by a model of a single string with a quark at one endpoint and a diquark at the other. This model is preferred over the Y-shaped string model with a quark at each endpoint. We show how the model follows from a stringy model of the holographic baryon which includes a baryonic vertex connected with N_c strings to flavor probe branes. From fitting to baryonic data we find that there is no clear evidence for a non-zero baryonic vertex mass, but if there is such a mass it should be located at one of the string endpoints. The available baryon trajectories in the angular momentum plane (J,M^2), involving light, strange, and charmed baryons, are rather well fitted when adding masses to the string endpoints, with a single universal slope of 0.95 GeV^-2. Most of the results for the quark masses are then found to be consistent with the results extracted from the meson spectra in a preceding paper, where the value of the slope emerging from the meson fits was found to be 0.90 GeV^-2. In the plane of quantum radial excitations, (n,M^2), we also find a good agreement between the meson and baryon slopes. The flavor structure of the diquark is examined, where our interest lies in particular on baryons composed of more than one quark heavier than the u and d quarks. For these baryons we present a method of checking the holographic interpretation of our results.

We assume a generic real singlet scalar extension of the Standard Model living in the vacuum $(v,w)$ at the electroweak scale with $v=246$ GeV and $w$ being respectively the Higgs and the singlet scalar vacuum expectation values. By requiring {\it absolute} vacuum stability for the vacuum $(v,w)$, the positivity condition and the perturbativity up to the Planck scale, we show that the viable space of parameters in the model is strongly constrained for various singlet scalar vacuum expectation values $w=0.1, 1, 10, 100$ TeV. Also, it turns out that the singlet scalar mass can be from a few GeV up to less than TeV.

The complete quasi-particle spectrum of a magnetized electromagnetic plasma is systematically explored at zero and nonzero temperatures. To this purpose, the general structure of the one-loop corrected propagator of magnetized fermions is determined, and the dispersion relations arising from the pole of this propagator are numerically solved. It turns out that in the lowest Landau level, where only one spin direction is allowed, the spectrum consists of one positively (negatively) charged fermionic mode with positive (negative) spin. In contrast, in higher Landau levels, as an indirect consequence of the double spin degeneracy of fermions, the spectrum consists of two massless collective modes with left- and right-chiralities. The mechanism through which these new collective excitations are created in a uniform magnetic field is similar to the production mechanism of dynamical holes (plasminos) at finite temperature and zero magnetic fields. Whereas cold magnetized plasminos appear for moderate magnetic fields and for all positive momenta of propagating fermions, hot magnetized plasminos appear only in the limit of weak magnetic fields and soft momenta.

Consider the most general $3 \times 3$ Majorana neutrino mass matrix $\cal M$. Motivated by present neutrino-oscillation data, much theoretical effort is directed at reducing it to a specific texture in terms of a small number of parameters. This procedure is often {\it ad hoc}. I propose instead that for any $\cal M$ one may choose, it should satisfy the condition $U {\cal M} U^T = {\cal M}$, where $U \neq 1$ is a specific unitary matrix such that $U^N$ represents a well-defined discrete symmetry in the $\nu_{e,\mu,\tau}$ basis, $N$ being a particular integer not necessarily equal to one. I illustrate this idea with a number of examples, including the realistic case of an inverted hierarchy of neutrino masses.

We place perturbative unitarity constraints on both the dimensionful and dimensionless parameters in the Next-to-Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (NMSSM) Higgs Sector. These constraints, plus the requirement that the singlino and/or Higgsino constitutes at least part of the observed dark matter relic abundance, generate upper bounds on the Higgs, neutralino and chargino mass spectrum. Requiring higher order corrections to be no more than 41% of the tree-level value, we obtain an upper bound of 20 TeV for the heavy Higgses and 12 TeV for the charginos and neutralinos outside defined fine-tuned regions. If the corrections are no more than 20% of the tree-level value, the bounds are 7 TeV for the heavy Higgses and 5 TeV for the charginos and neutralinos. In all, by using the NMSSM as a template, we describe a method which replaces naturalness arguments with more rigorous perturbative unitarity arguments to get a better understanding of when new physics will appear.

We consider the exclusive decay $B\to J/\psi K$ using the QCD-improved factorization method in the heavy quark limit. It is shown that the decay amplitude is factorizable in this limit and nonfactorizable contributions are calculable from first principles in perturbation theory. Also the spectator contributions at order $\alpha_s$ are finite and suppressed in the heavy quark limit. We present the result at next-to-leading order in strong interaction, and leading order in $1/m_b$ in the heavy quark limit.

We show that in a supernova core the longitudinal photon (plasmon) has a space-like dispersion and Cerenkov absorption and emission of such photons is kinematically allowed. If the neutrino has a non-zero magnetic moment, then helicity flipping Cerenkov absorption of a plasmon $\nu_L+\gamma\to\nu_R$ is the most efficient cooling mechanism of the supernova core, and this allows us to put a restrictive bound on the neutrino magnetic moment $\mu_{\nu}~<~0.7\times 10^{-13}\mu_B$.

A gauge and diffeomorphism invariant theory in (2+1)-dimensions is presented in both first and second order Lagrangian form as well as in a Hamiltonian form. For gauge group $SO(1,2)$, the theory is shown to describe ordinary Einstein gravity with a cosmological constant. With gauge group $G^{tot}=SO(1,2)\otimes G^{YM}$, it is shown that the equations of motion for the $G^{YM}$ fields are the Yang-Mills equations. It is also shown that for weak $G^{YM}$ Yang-Mills fields, this theory agrees with the conventional Einstein-Yang-Mills theory to lowest order in Yang-Mills fields. Explicit static and rotation symmetric solutions to the Einstein-Maxwell theory are studied both for the conventional coupling and for this unified theory. In the electric solution to the unified theory, point charges are not allowed, the charges must have spatial extensions.

We compute the one-loop matching between the Standard Model Effective Field Theory and the low-energy effective field theory below the electroweak scale, where the heavy gauge bosons, the Higgs particle, and the top quark are integrated out. The complete set of matching equations is derived including effects up to dimension six in the power counting of both theories. We present the results for general flavor structures and include both the $CP$-even and $CP$-odd sectors. The matching equations express the masses, gauge couplings, as well as the coefficients of dipole, three-gluon, and four-fermion operators in the low-energy theory in terms of the parameters of the Standard Model Effective Field Theory. Using momentum insertion, we also obtain the matching for the $CP$-violating theta angles. Our results provide an ingredient for a model-independent analysis of constraints on physics beyond the Standard Model. They can be used for fixed-order calculations at one-loop accuracy and represent a first step towards a systematic next-to-leading-log analysis.

This work completes the task of solving locally the Einstein-Ashtekar equations for degenerate data. The two remaining degenerate sectors of the classical 3+1 dimensional theory are considered. First, with all densitized triad vectors linearly dependent and second, with only two independent ones. It is shown how to solve the Einstein-Ashtekar equations completely by suitable gauge fixing and choice of coordinates. Remarkably, the Hamiltonian weakly Poisson commutes with the conditions defining the sectors. The summary of degenerate solutions is given in the Appendix.

It is shown how to solve the Einstein-Ashtekar equations completely by suitable gauge fixing and choice of coordinates. Remarkably, the Hamiltonian weakly Poisson commutes with the conditions defining the sectors. The summary of degenerate solutions is given in the Appendix.

The Large Hadron Collider, a 7 + 7 TeV proton-proton collider under construction at CERN (the European Laboratory for Particle Physics in Geneva), will take experiments squarely into a new energy domain where mysteries of the electroweak interaction will be unveiled. What marks the 1-TeV scale as an important target? Why is understanding how the electroweak symmetry is hidden important to our conception of the world around us? What expectations do we have for the agent that hides the electroweak symmetry? Why do particle physicists anticipate a great harvest of discoveries within reach of the LHC?

Plateau-plateau transition in integer quantum Hall effect is a phase transition between metal and insulator. The behavior how the width $\Delta B$ of the transition changes with temperature and frequency of radiations imposed has been explored extensively. It decreases with the decrease of temperature and frequency, but saturates at critical temperature or frequency. We have recently discussed the effect of axion dark matter on the saturation. The axion generates radiations under strong magnetic field in the experiment of quantum Hall effect. The radiations play a similar role to the one of radiations imposed externally. In this paper we discuss in detail how the width behaves in temperature and frequency under the effect of axion dark matter. We show that the axion effect can be observable in low temperature roughly below $100$mK. According to our detailed analysis of the saturation, we find that critical frequency of saturation observed in previous experiment strongly suggests axion mass $m_a=(0.95\sim 0.99)\times 10^{-5}$eV.

Light top squarks (stops) and light higgsinos are the key features of natural SUSY, where the higgsinos $\tilde{\chi}^{\pm}_{1}$ and $\tilde{\chi}^0_{1,2}$ are nearly degenerate and act as the missing transverse energy ($E^{miss}_T$) at the LHC. Besides the strong production, the stop can be produced via the electroweak interaction. The determination of the electroweak properties of the stop is an essential task for the LHC and future colliders. So in this paper, we investigate the single stop ($\tilde{t}_1$) production $pp \to \tilde{t}_1+ E^{miss}_T$ in the natural SUSY at the LHC, which gives the monotop signature $t+ E^{miss}_T$ from $\tilde{t}_1\to t \tilde{\chi}^0_{1,2}$ or the monobottom signature $b+ E^{miss}_T$ from $\tilde{t}_1 \to b \tilde{\chi}^+_{1}$. We perform Monte Carlo simulations for these signatures and obtain the results: (1) The signal $b+ E^{miss}_T$ has a better sensitivity than $t+ E^{miss}_T$ for probing natural SUSY; (2) The parameter region with a higgsino mass 100 GeV$\lesssim \mu \lesssim$ 225 GeV and stop mass $m_{\tilde{t}_1} \lesssim$ 620 GeV, can be probed through the single stop production with $S/\sqrt{B} > 3$ and $4\% \lesssim S/B \lesssim19\%$ at 14 TeV HL-LHC with an integrated luminosity of 3000 fb$^{-1}$.

Some time ago, it has been suggested that gravitons can acquire mass in the process of spontaneous symmetry breaking of diffeomorphisms through the condensation of scalar fields [Chamseddine and Mukhanov, JHEP, 2010]. Taking this possibility into account, in the present paper, first we show how the graviton mass intricately reshapes the gravitational potential akin to a Yukawa-like potential at large distances. Notably, this long-range force modifies the Newton's law in large distances and might explain the phenomena of dark matter. The most important finding in the present paper is the derivation of a modified Newtons law of gravity by modifying the Verlindes entropic force relation due to the graviton contribution. The graviton contribution to the entropy basically measures the correlation of graviton and matter fields which then reproduces the Bekenstein-Hawking entropy at the horizon. This result shows the dual description of gravity: in the language of quantum information and entropy the gravity can be viewed as an entropic force, however in terms of particles and fields, it can be viewed as a longe range force. Further we have recovered the corrected Einstein field equations as well as the $\Lambda$CDM where dark matter emerges as an apparent effect.

The scotogenic type I and type III seesaw models are good candidates to explain the existence of neutrino masses and dark matter simultaneously. However, since triplet fermions have SU(2) gauge interaction, they cannot be out of equilibrium before the electroweak symmetry breaking. Thus, leptogenesis seems to be difficult within a framework of the pure type III seesaw model. Some extension seems to be required to solve this fault. A model extended by introducing a singlet fermion could be such a simple example. If the singlet fermion is in the thermal equilibrium even for its extremely small neutrino Yukawa coupling, leptogenesis could be shown to occur successfully for a rather low mass of the singlet fermion. The required mass could be lowered to $10^4$~GeV.

A Lorentz and conformally invariant `Schr\"{o}dinger-like' equation for a massless complex scalar function $\psi$ is derived from an invariant action, and it is shown how the same $\psi$ can be used to calculate both the gravitational field $h_{\mu\nu}$ of linearized Einstein gravity in the TT gauge and the electromagnetic field $F_{\mu\nu}$ in the Lorenz gauge, and that the main difference between classical and quantum aspects of such fields lies in a certain condition that the underlying scalar wave must satisfy to keep it nondispersive. It is also shown how the existence of gravitons can be inferred from the state-dependent quantum noise they create in a model detector.

We give the complete analytical formulae paying particular attention to the on-shell renormalization of the soft SUSY-breaking parameters. We also perform a detailed numerical analysis of both stop and sbottom decays into all Higgs bosons h^0, H^0, A^0, and H^\pm. We find that the SUSY-QCD corrections are significant, mostly negative and of the order of a few ten percent.

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

We quantify the importance of dynamical spin effects in the holographic light-front wavefunctions of the pion, kaon, $\eta$ and $\eta^\prime$. Using a universal AdS/QCD scale and constituent quark masses, we find that such effects are maximal in the pion where they lead to an excellent simultaneous description of a wide range of data: the decay constant, charge radius, spacelike EM and transition form factors, as well as, after QCD evolution, both the parton distribution function and the parton distribution amplitude data from Fermilab. These dynamical spin effects lead up to a $30\%$ chance of finding the valence quark and antiquark with aligned spins in the pion. The situation is very different for the kaon, where a simultaneous description of the available data (decay constant, radius and spacelike EM form factor) prefer no dynamical spin effects at all. The situation is less clear for the $\eta$ and $\eta^\prime$: while their radiative decay widths data are consistent with dynamical spin effects only in $\eta^\prime$, the data on their spacelike transition form factors clearly favor maximal dynamical spin effects in both mesons.

Under some conditions, light boson fields grow exponentially around a rotating black hole, called the superradiance instability. We discuss effects of nonlinear interactions of the boson on the instability. In particular, we focus on the effect of the particle production and show that the growth of the boson cloud may be saturated much before the black hole spin is extracted by the boson cloud, while the nonlinear interactions also induce the boson emission. For application, we revisit the superradiant instability of the standard model photon, axion and hidden photon.

We establish the inequality for Henneaux-Teitelboim's total energy-momentum for asymptotically anti-de Sitter initial data sets which are asymptotic to arbitrary $t$-slice in anti-de Sitter spacetime. In particular, when $t=0$, it generalizes Chru\'{s}ciel-Maerten-Tod's inequality in the center of AdS mass coordinates. We also show that the determinant of energy-momentum endomorphism ${\bf Q}$ is the geometric invariant of asymptotically anti-de Sitter spacetimes.

It has been shown that the extension of the elasticity theory in more than three dimensions allows a description of space-time as a properly stressed medium, even recovering the Minkowski metric in the case of uniaxial stress. The fundamental equation for the metric in the theory is shown to be the equilibrium equation for the medium. Examples of spherical and cylindrical symmetries in four dimensions are considered, evidencing convergencies and divergencies with the classical general relativity theory. Finally the possible meaning of the dynamics of the four dimensional elastic medium is discussed.

We study non-perturbative aspects of QCD Kondo effect, which has been recently proposed for the finite density and strong magnetic field systems, using conformal field theory describing the low energy physics near the IR fixed point. We clarify the symmetry class of QCD Kondo effect both for the finite density and magnetic field systems, and show how the IR fixed point is non-perturbatively characterized by the boundary condition, which incorporates the impurity effect in Kondo problem. We also obtain the low temperature behavior of several quantities of QCD Kondo effect in the vicinity of the IR fixed point based on the conformal field theory analysis.

We study the quantum hair associated with coherent states describing slowly rotating black holes and show how it can be naturally related with the Bekenstein-Hawking entropy and with 1-loop quantum corrections of the metric for the (effectively) non-rotating case. We also estimate corrections induced by such quantum hair to the temperature of the Hawking radiation through the tunnelling method.

The general production {\it and} decay mechanism of $\ttbar$ in future high-energy $\epem$ colliders has been investigated in a model-independent way, focusing on an observation of possible CP violation. Angular asymmetries sensitive to CP violation either in the production {\it or} in the subsequent decays have been found. General considerations are illustrated through 1-loop effects induced by gluino exchange in the supersymmetric version of the Standard Model.

We calculate the leading corrections to jet momentum broadening and medium-induced branching that arise from the velocity of the moving medium at first order in opacity. These results advance our knowledge of jet quenching and demonstrate how it couples to collective flow of the quark-gluon plasma in heavy-ion collisions and to the orbital motion of partons in cold nuclear matter in deep inelastic scattering at the electron-ion collider. We also compute the leading corrections to jet momentum broadening due to transverse gradients of temperature and density. We find that these effects lead to both anisotropic transverse momentum diffusion proportional to the medium velocity and anisotropic medium-induced radiation emitted preferentially in the direction of the flow. We isolate the relevant sub-eikonal corrections by working with jets composed of scalar particles with arbitrary color factors interacting with the medium by scalar QCD. Appropriate substitution of the color factors and light-front wave functions allow us to immediately apply the results to a range of processes including $q \rightarrow q g$ branching in real QCD. The resulting general expressions can be directly coupled to hydrodynamic simulations on an event-by-event basis to study the correlations between jet quenching and the dynamics of various forms of nuclear matter.
