While non-relativistic QCD (NRQCD) foresees a variety of elementary quarkonium production mechanisms naturally leading to state-dependent kinematic patterns, the LHC cross sections and polarization measurements reveal a remarkably simple production scenario, independent of the quantum numbers and masses of the quarkonia. Surprisingly, NRQCD is able to accommodate the observed universal scenario, through a series of conspiring cancellations smoothing out its otherwise variegated hierarchy of mechanisms. This seemingly unnatural solution implies that the $\chi_{c1}$ and $\chi_{c2}$ polarizations, not yet measured, are strong and opposite, representing the only potential exception to a remarkably simple picture of quarkonium production. The observation of a large difference between $\chi_{c2}$ and $\chi_{c1}$ polarizations, which cannot be indirectly extracted from existing measurements because they mutually cancel each other in their contribution to the observed J/$\psi$ production, would be a smoking gun signal finally proving the multifaceted but mysteriously elusive structure of NRQCD. On the other hand, the measurement of two similar, small polarizations will urge improved P-wave calculations, if not a substantial revision of the NRQCD hierarchies.

Electric charge assignment in quantum field theories

In Field theories with simple or semi-simple unitary, local or global symmetries, the electric charge is related to a global one. This is the case also in electroweak gauge theories even before the spontaneous symmetry breaking (SSB), where these quantities are defined in order to expand the Lagrangian respecting the conservation laws after the breaking. So, the electric charge assignment within a given multiplet is done (in units of jej) considering only global symmetries, even though in general, the electric charge operator is a linear combination of the diagonal generators of the non-Abelian symmetry plus some Abelian factor. In this work we show how this operator can be systematically constructed from any representation in the Standard Model and some of its extensions as the 3-3-1, left-right symmetric and grand unified models.

We construct two distinct classes of exact type III solutions of the D=4 Einstein-Yang-Mills system. The solutions are embeddings of the non-abelian plane waves in spacetimes in Kundt's class. Reduction of the solutions to type N leads to generalized $pp$ and Kundt waves. The geodesic equations are briefly discussed.

We investigate the $\Lambda_c \to \Lambda \ell^{+} \nu_\ell$ decay with a focus on potential new physics (NP) effects in the $\ell = \mu$ channel. We employ an effective Hamiltonian within the framework of the Standard Model Effective Field Theory (SMEFT) to consider generalized dimension-6 semileptonic $c\to s$ operators of scalar, pseudoscalar, vector, axial-vector and tensor types. We rely on Lattice QCD (LQCD) for the hadronic transition form factors, using heavy quark spin symmetry (HQSS) to determine those that have not yet been obtained on the lattice. Uncertainties due to the truncation of the NP Hamiltonian and different implementations of HQSS are taken into account. As a result, we unravel the NP discovery potential of the $\Lambda_c\to \Lambda$ semileptonic decay in different observables. Our findings indicate high sensitivity to NP in lepton flavour universality ratios, probing multi-TeV scales in some cases. On the theoretical side, we identify LQCD uncertainties in axial and vector form factors as critical for improving NP sensitivity, alongside better SMEFT uncertainty estimations.

An increasingly popular approach to quantum gravity rests on the idea that gravity (and maybe electromagnetism and the other gauge fields) might be an 'emergent phenomenon', in the sense of representing a collective behaviour resulting from a very different microscopic physics. A prominent example of this approach is the condensed matter scheme for quantum gravity, which considers the possibility that gravity emerges as an effective low-energy phenomenon from the quantum vacuum in a way similar to the emergence of collective excitations in condensed matter systems. This condensed matter view of the quantum vacuum clearly hints that, while the term 'ether' has been discredited for about a century, quantum gravity holds many (if not all) of the characteristics that have led people in the past to label various hypothetical substances with the term 'ether'. Since the last burst of enthusiasm for an ether, at the end of the 19th century, was brought to the grave in part by the performance of a series of important experiments in interferometry, the suggestion then naturally arises that maybe interferometry could also play a role in the current discussion on quantum gravity. We will highlight some aspects of this suggestion in the context of the condensed matter scheme for emergent gravity.

We analytically work out the long-term rates of change of the six osculating Keplerian orbital elements of a test particle acted upon by the Lorentz-violating gravitomagnetic acceleration due to a static body, as predicted by the Standard Model Extension (SME). We neither restrict to any specific spatial orientation for the symmetry-violating vector s nor make a priori simplifying assumptions concerning the orbital configuration of the perturbed test particle. Thus, our results are quite general, and can be applied for sensitivity analyses to a variety of specific astronomical and astrophysical scenarios. We find that, apart from the semimajor axis a, all the other orbital elements undergo non-vanishing secular variations. By comparing our results to the latest determinations of the supplementary advances of the perihelia of some planets of the solar system we preliminarily obtain s_x = (0.9 +/- 1.5) 10^-8, s_y = (-4 +/- 6) 10^-9, s_z = (0.3 +/- 1) 10^-9. Bounds from the terrestrial LAGEOS and LAGEOS II satellites are of the order of s\sim 10^-3-10^-4.

We review and relate two recent complementary constructions of linear local gauge-invariant observables for cosmological perturbations in generic spatially flat single-field inflationary cosmologies. After briefly discussing their physical significance, we give explicit, covariant and mutually invertible transformations between the two sets of observables, thus resolving any doubts about their equivalence. In this way, we get a geometric interpretation and show the completeness of both sets of observables, while previously each of these properties was available only for one of them.

The cross-sections for the top-quark pair production and for the $W$-boson pair production in $e^{+}e^{-}$ annihilation are calculated within the NNLO in models that admit exact solutions. In both cases an excellent convergence of the MPT is detected at the energies close to and above the maximum of the cross section. In the case of $W$-boson pair production a precision of the description at the ILC energies is ensured at the level of one per-mille or higher.

The lightest hidden-bottom tetraquarks in the dynamical diquark model fill an $S$-wave multiplet consisting of 12 isomultiplets. We predict their masses and dominant bottomonium decay channels using a simple 3-parameter Hamiltonian that captures the core fine-structure features of the model, including isospin dependence. The only experimental inputs needed are the corresponding observables for $Z_b(10610)$ and $Z_b(10650)$. The mass of $X_b$, the bottom analogue to $X(3872)$, is highly constrained in this scheme. In addition, using lattice-calculated potentials we predict the location of the center of mass of the $P$-wave multiplet and find that $Y(10860)$ fits well but the newly discovered $Y(10750)$ does not, more plausibly being a $D$-wave bottomonium state. Using similar methods, we also examine the lowest $S$-wave multiplet of 6 $c\bar c s\bar s$ states, assuming as in earlier work that $X(3915)$ and $Y(4140)$ are members, and predict the masses and dominant charmonium decay modes of the other states. We again use lattice potentials to compute the centers of mass of higher multiplets, and find them to be compatible with the masses of $Y(4626)$ ($1P$) and $X(4700)$ ($2S$), respectively.

The non-conservation of charmed-strange current in the neutrino deep inelastic scattering ($\nu$DIS) strongly affects the longitudinal structure function, $F_L$, at small values of Bjorken $x$. The corresponding correction to $F_L$ is a higher twist effect enhanced at small-$x$ by the rapidly growing gluon density factor. As a result, the component of $F_L$ induced by the charmed-strange current prevails over the light-quark component and dominates $F_L=F_L^{cs}+F_L^{ud}$ at $x\lsim 0.01$ and $Q^2\sim m_c^2$. The color dipole analysis clarifies the physics behind the phenomenon and provides a quantitative estimate of the effect.

Dark matter may be hidden, with no standard model gauge interactions. At the same time, in WIMPless models with hidden matter masses proportional to hidden gauge couplings squared, the hidden dark matter's thermal relic density may naturally be in the right range, preserving the key quantitative virtue of WIMPs. We consider this possibility in detail. We first determine model-independent constraints on hidden sectors from Big Bang nucleosynthesis and the cosmic microwave background. Contrary to conventional wisdom, large hidden sectors are easily accommodated. A flavour-free version of the standard model is allowed if the hidden sector is just 30% colder than the observable sector after reheating. Alternatively, if the hidden sector contains a 1-generation version of the standard model with characteristic mass scale below 1 MeV, even identical reheating temperatures are allowed. We then analyze hidden sector freezeout in detail for a concrete model, solving the Boltzmann equation numerically and understanding the results from both observable and hidden sector points of view. We find that WIMPless dark matter indeed obtains the correct relic density for masses in the range keV < m_X < TeV. The upper bound results from the requirement of perturbativity, and the lower bound assumes that the observable and hidden sectors reheat to the same temperature and is raised to the MeV scale if the hidden sector is 10 times colder. WIMPless dark matter therefore generalizes the WIMP paradigm to the largest mass range possible for viable thermal relics and provides a unified framework for exploring dark matter signals across nine orders of magnitude in dark matter mass.

The calculation of heat-kernel coefficients with the classical DeWitt algorithm has been discussed. We present the explicit form of the coefficients up to $h_5$ in the general case and up to $h_7^{min}$ for the minimal parts. The results are compared with the expressions in other papers. A method to optimize the usage of memory for working with large expressions on universal computer algebra systems has been proposed.

We investigate the phenomenology of Composite 2-Higgs Doublet Models (C2HDMs) of various Yukawa types based on the global symmetry breaking $SO(6)\to SO(4)\times SO(2)$. The kinetic term and the Yukawa Lagrangian are constructed in terms of the pseudo Nambu-Goldstone Boson (pNGB) matrix and a 6-plet of fermions under $SO(6)$. The scalar potential is assumed to be the same as that of the Elementary 2-Higgs Doublet Model (E2HDM) with a softly-broken discrete $Z_2$ symmetry. We then discuss the phenomenological differences between the E2HDM and C2HDM by focusing on the deviations from Standard Model (SM) couplings of the discovered Higgs state ($h$) as well as on the production cross sections and Branching Ratios (BRs) at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) of extra Higgs bosons. We find that, even if the same deviation in the $hVV$ ($V=W,Z$) coupling is assumed in both scenarios, there appear significant differences between E2HDM and C2HDM from the structure of the Yukawa couplings, so that production and decay features of extra Higgs bosons can be used to distinguish between the two scenarios.

Towards Meson Spectroscopy Instead of Bump Hunting

Mesonic resonances are generally observed in data as narrow, moderately broad, or wide peaks in scattering or production processes. In the eyes of nearly all experimentalists, any suchlike bump is a true resonance as soon as its statistical significance exceeds certain minimal values. However, this simple point of view ignores possible effects from competing hadronic channels and the opening of the corresponding thresholds. On the other hand, most theoretical hadron-model builders consider mesons merely bound states of a quark and an antiquark, or of more exotic combinations sometimes involving valence gluons as well. Also the latter description is much too naive, since considerable mass shifts or even the dynamical generation of extra states due to unquenching are equally ignored. In the present paper, a largely empirical yet very successful approach to meson spectroscopy is revisited, in which all the above phenomena can be accounted for non-perturbatively, with concrete examples of some enigmatic mesonic states described in detail. First, the X(4260) charmonium enhancement is argued to be a non-resonant structure resulting from depletion effects due to competing channels and resonances. Then, the X(3872) charmonium-like meson is described as a unitarised $J^{PC}=1^{++}$ $c\bar{c}$ state. Also, the unusual pattern of masses and widths of the open-charm axial-vector mesons $D_1(2420)$, $D_1(2430)$, $D_{s1}(2536)$, and $D_{s1}(2460)$ is shown to follow from highly non-perturbative coupled-channel and mixing effects. Finally, first indications of a very light scalar boson are presented, on the basis of published BABAR data.

The interpolating current representing the $J^{P}=2^{-}$ state is proposed. Technically, contributions of the operators up to dimension six are included in the operator product expansion (OPE). The mass obtained for such state is $m_{2^{-}}=(4.38\pm 0.15) GeV$. We conclude that it is impossible to describe the X(3872) structure as $J^{P}=2^{-}$ tetraquark state.

A geometric formulation of Higgs Effective Field Theory (HEFT) is presented. Experimental observables are given in terms of geometric invariants of the scalar sigma model sector such as the curvature of the scalar field manifold $\mathcal M$. We show how the curvature can be measured experimentally via Higgs cross-sections, $W_L$ scattering, and the $S$ parameter. The one-loop action of HEFT is given in terms of geometric invariants of $\mathcal M$. The distinction between the Standard Model (SM) and HEFT is whether $\mathcal M$ is flat or curved, not whether the scalars transform linearly or non-linearly under the electroweak group.

We revisit our previous model proposed in Ref. \cite{Okada:2013iba}, in which lepton masses except the tauon mass are generated at the one-loop level in a TeV scale physics. Although in the previous work, rather large Yukawa couplings constants; i.e., greater than about 3, are required to reproduce the muon mass, we do not need to introduce such a large but ${\cal O}$(1) couplings. In our model, masses for neutrinos (charged-leptons) are generated by a dimension five effective operator with two isospin triplet (singlet and doublet) scalar fields. Thus, the mass hierarchy between neutrinos and charged-leptons can be naturally described by the difference in the number of vacuum expectation values (VEVs) of the triplet fields which must be much smaller than the VEV of the doublet field due to the constraint from the electroweak rho parameter. Furthermore, the discrepancy in the measured muon anomalous magnetic moment ($g-2$) from the prediction in the standard model are explained by one-loop contributions from vector-like extra charged-leptons which are necessary to obtain the radiative generation of the lepton masses. We study the decay property of the extra leptons by taking into account the masses of muon, neutrinos, muon $g-2$ and dark matter physics. We find that the extra leptons can mainly decay into the mono-muon, dark matter with or without $Z$ bosons in the favored parameter regions.

Within an effective-field-theory framework, we present a model-independent analysis of the potential of discovering new physics by searching for lepton flavour violation in heavy quarkonium decays and, more in general, we study the phenomenology of lepton-flavour-violating (LFV) 2 quark - 2 lepton ($2q2\ell$) operators with two charm or bottom fields. We compute the constraints from LFV muon and tau decays on the new-physics operators that can induce LFV processes involving $c\bar c$ and $b\bar b$ systems, thus providing a comprehensive list of indirect upper limits on processes such as $J/\psi \to \ell\ell^\prime$, $\Upsilon(nS) \to \ell\ell^\prime$, $\Upsilon(nS) \to \ell\ell^\prime \gamma$ etc., which can be sought at BESIII, Belle II, and the proposed super tau-charm factory. We show that such indirect constraints are so stringent that they prevent the detection of quarkonium decays into $e\mu$. In the case of decays of quarkonia into $\ell\tau$ ($\ell=e,\mu$), we find that an improvement by 2-3 orders of magnitude on the current sensitivities is in general required in order to discover or further constrain new physics. However, we show that cancellations among different contributions to the LFV tau decay rates are possible, such that $\Upsilon(nS)\to \ell\tau$ can saturate the present experimental bounds. We also find that, interestingly, searches for LFV $Z$ decays, $Z\to\ell\tau$, at future $e^+e^-$ colliders are complementary probes of $2q2\ell$ operators with third generation quarks.

We combine the Twin Higgs mechanism with the paradigm of Composite Higgs models. In this class of models the Higgs is a pseudo-Nambu-Goldstone boson from a strongly coupled sector near the TeV scale, and it is additionally protected by a discrete symmetry due to the twin mechanism. We discuss the model building issues associated with this setup and quantify the tuning needed to achieve the correct electroweak vacuum and the Higgs mass. In contrast to standard Composite Higgs models, the lightest resonance associated with the top sector is the uncolored mirror top, while the colored top partners can be made parameterically heavier without extra tuning. In some cases, the vector resonances are predicted to lie in the multi-TeV range.

Detailed calculations of spin rotation by the Earth's gravitational field in a frozen-spin ring are presented in three different coordinate systems and used (a) to show that the systematic error caused by gravitation in a proposed electric dipole moment measurement can be unambiguously determined, and (b) to propose measuring the spin-gravity effect in a dedicated frozen-spin ring using electrons.

In the process of protostar formation, astrophysical gas clouds undergo thermodynamically irreversible processes and emit heat and radiation to their surroundings. Due the emission of this energy one can envision an idealized situation in which the gas entropy remains nearly constant. In this setting, we derive in this paper interior solutions to the Einstein equations of General Relativity for spheres which consist of isentropic gas. To accomplish this objective we derive a single equation for the cumulative mass distribution in the protostar. From a solution of this equation one can infer readily the coefficients of the metric tensor. In this paper we present analytic and numerical solutions for the structure of the isentropic self-gravitating gas. In particular we look for solutions in which the mass distribution indicates the presence of shells, a possible precursor to solar system formation. Another possible physical motivation for this research comes from the observation that gamma ray bursts are accompanied by the ejection of large amounts of thermodynamically active gas at relativistic velocities. Under these conditions it is natural to use the equations of general relativity to inquire about the structure of the ejected mass.

As an attempt to realize Wheeler's "it-from-bit proposal" that physics should be reduced to simple yes-no questions we consider a model of loop quantum gravity, where the only allowed values of the quantum numbers $j_p$ at the punctures of the spin network on the spacelike two-surfaces of spacetime are $0$ and $\frac{1}{2}$. When $j_p=0$, the puncture is in the vacuum, and it does not contribute to the area of the two-surface, whereas when $j_p=\frac{1}{2}$, the puncture is in an excited state, and the allowed values of the associated quantum number $m_p$ are $-\frac{1}{2}$ and $+\frac{1}{2}$. As a consequence, the spin network used as a model of spacetime is analogous to a system of particles with spin $\frac{1}{2}$, and every puncture carries exactly one bit of information. When applied to spacetimes with horizon our model enables us to find an explicit expression for the partition function of spacetime. Using this partition function we may, among other things, obtain the Bekenstein-Hawking entropy law for black holes. When applied to cosmological models with horizon the partition function predicts a cosmic phase transition in the early Universe, where the cosmological constant went through a dramatic decrease and the matter of the Universe was created out of the vacuum.

We consider a dark confining gauge theory with millicharged Ultra-Light Pions (ULP) and heavy baryons as dark matter candidates. The model simultaneously realizes the ultra-light (STrongly-interacting Ultralight Millicharged Particle or "STUMP") and superheavy ("WIMPzilla") dark matter paradigms, connected by the confinement scale of the dark QCD. It is a realization of millicharged ULDM, very unlike conventional axions, and exhibits a mass splitting between the charged and neutral pions. ULPs can easily provide the observed density of the dark matter, and be cosmologically stable, for a broad range of dark QCD scales and quark masses. The dark baryons, produced via gravitational particle production or via freeze-in, provide an additional contribution to the dark matter density. Dark matter halos and boson stars in this context are generically an admixture of the three pions and heavy baryons, leading to a diversity of density profiles. That opens up the accessible parameter space of the model compared with the standard millicharged DM scenarios and can be probed by future experiments. We briefly discuss additional interesting phenomenology, such as ULP electrodynamics, and Cosmic ULP Backgrounds.

We consider the double-scaling limit in matrix models for two-dimensional quantum gravity, and establish the nonperturbative functional Renormalization Group as a novel technique to compute the corresponding interacting fixed point of the Renormalization Group flow. We explicitly evaluate critical exponents and compare to the exact results. The functional Renormalization Group method allows a generalization to tensor models for higher-dimensional quantum gravity and to group field theories. As a simple example how this method works for such models, we compute the leading-order beta function for a colored matrix model that is inspired by recent developments in tensor models.

We probe the phase structure of the regular AdS black holes using the null geodesics. The radius of photon orbit and minimum impact parameter shows a non-monotonous behaviour below the critical values of the temperature and the pressure, corresponding to the phase transition in extended phase space. The respective differences of the radius of unstable circular orbit and the minimum impact parameter can be seen as the order parameter for the small-large black hole phase transition, with a critical exponent $1/2$. Our study shows that there exists a close relationship between the gravity and thermodynamics for the regular AdS black holes.

In an $SU(3)_{c}\times SU(2)_{L}\times SU(2)_{R}\times U(1)_{B-L}$ left-right symmetric framework, we present a new leptogenesis scenario parametrized by Dirac neutrino mass matrix. Benefited from the parity symmetry motivated to solve the strong CP problem, the dimensionless couplings of the mirror fields are identified to those of the ordinary fields. In particular, the mirror Dirac neutrinos have a heavy mass matrix proportional to the light mass matrix of the ordinary Dirac neutrinos. Through the $SU(2)_R$ gauge interactions, the mirror neutrinos can decay to generate a lepton asymmetry in the mirror muons and an opposite lepton asymmetry in the mirror electrons. Before the $SU(2)_L$ sphaleron processes stop working, the mirror muons can efficiently decay into the ordinary right-handed leptons with a dark matter scalar and hence the mirror muon asymmetry can be partially converted to a desired baryon asymmetry.

We show that when the factorized cross section for heavy quarkonium production includes next-to-leading power (NLP) contributions associated with the production of the heavy quark pair at short distances, it naturally reproduces all high $p_T$ results calculated in non-relativistic QCD (NRQCD) factorization. This extended formalism requires fragmentation functions for heavy quark pairs, as well as for light partons. When these fragmentation functions are themselves calculated using NRQCD, we find that two of the four leading NRQCD production channels, ${^3\hspace{-0.6mm}S_{1}^{[1]}}$ and ${^1\hspace{-0.6mm}S_{0}^{[8]}}$, are dominated by the NLP contributions for a very wide $p_T$ range. The large next-to-leading order corrections of NRQCD are absorbed into the leading order of the first power correction. The impact of this finding on the heavy quarkonium production and its polarization is discussed.

We find that if Y(4630) is interpreted as the D-wave resonant state of $\Lambda_c \bar {\Lambda}_c$ system, the particle mass, decay width and all quantum numbers are consistent with experimental observations. We use the Bonn approximation to get the interaction potential of one boson exchange model, then extend the complex scaling method (CSM) to calculate the bound and resonant states. The results indicate that the $\Lambda_c \bar{\Lambda}_c$ system can form not only the bound state of S wave, but also the resonant state of the high angular momentum, and the $^3D_1$ wave resonant state can explain the structure of Y(4630) very well.

In our model, the baryon asymmetry is achieved by the leptogenesis mechanism, while the decaying dark matter with the lifetime of O(10^26 s) provides a natural solution to the electron and positron excesses in Fermi and PAMELA satellite experiments. In particular, we emphasize that our model is sensitive to the structure at the endpoint around 1 TeV of the Fermi data. In addition, some of new particles proposed in the model are within the reach at the near future colliders, such as the Large Hadron Collider.

To measure the last unknown $3\nu$ oscillation parameter ($\delta$), several long baseline neutrino experiments have been designed or proposed. Recently it has been shown that turning on neutral current Non-Standard Interactions (NSI) of neutrinos with matter can induce degeneracies that may even hinder the proposed state-of-the-art DUNE long baseline experiment from measuring the value of $\delta$. We study how the result of the proposed MOMENT experiment with a baseline of 150 km and $200~{\rm MeV}<E_\nu<600~{\rm MeV}$ can help to solve the degeneracy induced by NSI and determine the true value of $\delta$.

The framework under which decays $\Lambda_{b}(\frac{1}{2}^{+})\rightarrow B(\frac{1}{2}^{+})+M$ are analyzed is not applicable for the decays $\Lambda_{b}(\frac{1}{2}^{+})\rightarrow B^{\ast}(\frac{3}{2} ^{+})+M$. These decays occur through a baryon pole $\Sigma^{0}_{c}$ which is generated by the W-exchange diagram in the process $b+u \xrightarrow {W} c+d$. The effective Hamiltonian which arises from the W-exchange diagram is expressed in the non relativistic limit. Since $% \Sigma^{0}_{c}$ belongs to representation $6$ of SU(3), it contributes to two sets of decays: $\Lambda_{b}\rightarrow\Delta^{0}D^{0},\Delta^{-}D^{+},% \Sigma^{*-}D_s^{+}$ and $\Lambda_{b}\rightarrow\Sigma^{\ast-}_{c}\pi^{+},% \Sigma^{\ast 0}_{c}\pi^{0}\;, \Xi^{\ast 0}_{c}K^{0}$. The branching ratios for these decays are evaluated which can be compared with their experimental values when the data become available. Other prediction of the model is that asymmetry parameter $\alpha = 0$, since baryon pole contributes to parity conserving (p-wave) amplitude and does not contribute to parity violating (d-wave) amplitude.

These decays occur through a baryon pole $\Sigma^{0}_{c}$ which is generated by the W-exchange diagram in the process $b+u \xrightarrow {W} c+d$. The effective Hamiltonian which arises from the W-exchange diagram is expressed in the non relativistic limit. Since $% \Sigma^{0}_{c}$ belongs to representation $6$ of SU(3), it contributes to two sets of decays: $\Lambda_{b}\rightarrow\Delta^{0}D^{0},\Delta^{-}D^{+},% \Sigma^{*-}D_s^{+}$ and $\Lambda_{b}\rightarrow\Sigma^{\ast-}_{c}\pi^{+},% \Sigma^{\ast 0}_{c}\pi^{0}\;, \Xi^{\ast 0}_{c}K^{0}$. The branching ratios for these decays are evaluated which can be compared with their experimental values when the data become available. Other prediction of the model is that asymmetry parameter $\alpha = 0$, since baryon pole contributes to parity conserving (p-wave) amplitude and does not contribute to parity violating (d-wave) amplitude.

We compute the pressure of a finite density quark-gluon plasma at zero temperature to leading order in hard-thermal-loop perturbation theory, which includes the fermionic excitations and Landau damping. The result is compared with the weak-coupling expansion for finite positive chemical potential $\mu$ through order $\alpha_s^2$ and with a quasiparticle model with a mass depending on $\mu$.

In order to get information about the polarized gluon distribution in a proton, we studied the electroproduction of \psi' in polarized electron and polarized proton collisions in the framework of the NRQCD factorization approach. The value of the cross section d\Delta\sigma / dp_T^2 for color-octet mechanism is about 5 times larger than that for color-singlet one, and it might be another test of the color-octet model if the polarized gluon distribution \Delta g(x) is well known. Furthermore, we found that this reaction is quite effective for testing the model of gluon polarization by measuring the double spin asymmetry A_{LL} for the initial electron and proton. Though the shape of p_T^2 distribution of A_{LL} is quite similar for the production mechanism with color-octet and color-singlet, we can see a big difference in A_{LL} among various models of the polarized gluon distribution function \Delta g(x).

Parton distribution functions (PDFs) at large $x$ are poorly constrained by high-energy experimental data, but extremely important for probing physics beyond standard model at colliders. We study the calculation of PDFs at large-$x$ through large-momentum $P^z$ expansion of the lattice quasi PDFs. Similar to deep-inelastic scattering, there are two distinct perturbative scales in the threshold limit where the matching coefficient can be factorized into a space-like jet function at scale $P^z|1-y|$ and a pair of heavy-light Sudakov form factors at scale $P^z$. The matching formula allows us to derive a full renormalization group resummation of large threshold logarithms, and the result is consistent with the known calculation to the next-to-next to leading order (NNLO). This paves the way for direct large-$x$ PDFs calculations in lattice QCD. As by-products, we find that the space-like jet function is related to a time-like version calculated previously through analytic continuation, and the heavy-light Sudakov form factor, calculated here to NNLO, is a universal object appearing as well in the large momentum expansion of quasi transverse-momentum-dependent PDFs and quasi wave-function amplitudes.

Inhomogeneous chiral phase is discussed in the presence of the magnetic field. A topological aspect is pointed out for the complex order parameter, in relation to the spectral asymmetry of the Dirac operator. It induces an anomalous baryon number and extremely extends the region of the inhomogeneous chiral phase in the QCD phase diagram. It is also shown that the novel tricritical point appears at zero chemical potential, which should be examined by the lattice QCD simulation.

In SUSY models with heavy squarks and gaugino mass unification, the gaugino pair production reaction pp-> \tw_1^\pm\tz_2 dominates gluino pair production for m_{\tg}\agt 1 TeV at LHC with \sqrt{s}=14 TeV (LHC14). For this mass range, the two-body decays \tw_1\to W\tz_1 and \tz_2\to h\tz_1 are expected to dominate the chargino and neutralino branching fractions. By searching for \ell b\bar{b}+MET events from \tw_1^\pm\tz_2 production, we show that LHC14 with 100 fb^{-1} of integrated luminosity becomes sensitive to chargino masses in the range m_{\tw_1}\sim 450-550 GeV corresponding to m_{\tg}\sim 1.5-2 TeV in models with gaugino mass unification. For 10^3 fb^{-1}, LHC14 is sensitive to the Wh channel for m_{\tw_1}\sim 300-800 GeV, corresponding to m_{\tg}\sim 1-2.8 TeV, which is comparable to the reach for gluino pair production followed by cascade decays. The Wh+MET search channel opens up a new complementary avenue for SUSY searches at LHC, and serves to point to SUSY as the origin of any new physics discovered via multijet and multilepton + MET channels.

In addition, we employ a coupled-channel approach to describe the dominant contribution of the $D\pi$ $S\text{-wave}$ amplitude, and also consider other excitations.

Highly boosted axion-like particles decaying into photon pairs are notoriously hard to detect at the LHC. The collimated decay photons cannot be individually reconstructed using only electromagnetic calorimeter information, making the signal less distinguishable from background. In this note we propose a search strategy to address this issue, exploiting the fact that a fraction of the decay photons convert into electron-positron pairs inside the tracking detector. The resulting tracks can be resolved with high resolution, allowing to separate the two collimated photons and resolve a displaced decay vertex. To demonstrate the effectiveness of this approach, we apply it to ALPs in the challenging MeV-GeV range produced via vector boson fusion. We find that such a search could give sensitivity to untested parameter space.

We study the Einstein static universe in the framework of Generalized Uncertainty Principle constructed by the Snyder non-commutative space. It is shown that the deformation parameter can induce an effective energy density subject to GUP which obeys the holographic principle (HP) and plays the role of a cosmological constant. Using the holographic feature of this effective energy density, we introduce natural IR and UV cut-offs which depend on the GUP based effective equation of state. Moreover, we propose a solution to the cosmological constant problem. This solution is based on the result that the Einstein equations just couple to the tiny holographic based surface energy density (cosmological constant) induced by the deformation parameter, rather than the large quantum gravitational based volume energy density (vacuum energy) having contributions of order $M_P^4$.

Interestingly, we reveal the fact that the composed black-hole-field system is amenable to an analytical treatment in the regime $Q/M\ll1\ll M\mu$ of weakly charged black holes and large-mass fields, in which case it is proved that the dimensionless physical parameter $\alpha\equiv{{qQ}\over{M\mu}}$ must lie in the narrow interval $\alpha\in\big(\sqrt{{{3240}\over{6859}}},{{16}\over{23}}\big)$ [here $\{M,Q\}$ are the mass and electric charge of the central black hole and $\{\mu,q\}$ are the proper mass and charge coupling constant of the supported scalar field]. In particular, we explicitly prove that, for weakly charged black holes, the discrete resonance spectrum $\{\alpha(M,Q,\mu,q;n\}^{n=\infty}_{n=0}$ of the composed charged-ABG-black-hole-charged-massive-scalar-field cloudy configurations can be determined {\it analytically} in the eikonal large-mass regime.

We initiate the study of gravitational wave (GW) signals from first-order phase transitions in supersymmetry-breaking hidden sectors. Such phase transitions often occur along a pseudo-flat direction universally related to supersymmetry (SUSY) breaking in hidden sectors that spontaneously break $R$-symmetry. The potential along this pseudo-flat direction imbues the phase transition with a number of novel properties, including a nucleation temperature well below the scale of heavy states (such that the temperature dependence is captured by the low-temperature expansion) and significant friction induced by the same heavy states as they pass through bubble walls. In low-energy SUSY-breaking hidden sectors, the frequency of the GW signal arising from such a phase transition is guaranteed to lie within the reach of future interferometers given existing cosmological constraints on the gravitino abundance. Once a mediation scheme is specified, the frequency of the GW peak correlates with the superpartner spectrum. Current bounds on supersymmetry are compatible with GW signals at future interferometers, while the observation of a GW signal from a SUSY-breaking hidden sector would imply superpartners within reach of future colliders.

We consider extensions of the Standard Model by a hidden sector consisting of a gauge field coupled with a scalar field. Assuming the absence of dimensionful parameters in the tree level potential, radiative symmetry breaking will make the hidden sector gauge field massive and induce the electroweak scale of the Standard Model. We consider separately dark sector gauge groups $U(1)_{\rm{D}}$ and $SU(2)_{\rm{D}}$, and focus on probing the models with a combination of direct detection experiments and gravitational wave observatories. We find that recent dark matter direct detection results significantly constrain the parameter space of the models where they can account for the observed dark matter relic density via freeze-out. The gravitational wave signals originating from strongly first order electroweak phase transition in these models can be probed in future gravitational wave observatories such as the Laser Interferometer Space Antenna. We show how the projected results compliment direct detection experiments and can help probe parameter space near the neutrino floor of direct detection.

We consider scenarios in which the 125 GeV resonance observed at the Large Hadron Collider is a Technicolor (TC) isosinglet scalar, the TC Higgs. By comparison with quantum chromodynamics, we argue that the couplings of the TC Higgs to the massive weak bosons are very close to the Standard Model (SM) values. The couplings to photons and gluons are model-dependent, but close to the SM values in several TC theories. The couplings of the TC Higgs to SM fermions are due to interactions beyond TC, such as Extended Technicolor: if such interactions successfully generate mass for the SM fermions, we argue that the couplings of the latter to the TC Higgs are also SM-like. We suggest a generic parameterization of the TC Higgs interactions with SM particles that accommodates a large class of TC models, and we perform a fit of these parameters to the Higgs LHC data. The fit reveals regions of parameter space where the form factors are of order unity and consistent with data at the 95% CL, in agreement with expectations in TC theories. This indicates that the discovered Higgs boson is consistent with the TC Higgs hypothesis for several TC theories.

We study a generalized version of the Hamiltonian constraint operator in nonperturbative loop quantum gravity. The generalization is based on admitting arbitrary irreducible SU(2) representations in the regularization of the operator, in contrast to the original definition where only the fundamental representation is taken. This leads to a quantization ambiguity and to a family of operators with the same classical limit. We calculate the action of the Euclidean part of the generalized Hamiltonian constraint on trivalent states, using the graphical notation of Temperley-Lieb recoupling theory. We discuss the relation between this generalization of the Hamiltonian constraint and crossing symmetry.

We provide a simple but robust argument that primordial black hole (PBH) production generically does {\em not} exceed astrophysical bounds during the resonant preheating phase after inflation. This conclusion is supported by fully nonlinear lattice simulations of various models in two and three dimensions which include rescattering but neglect metric perturbations. We examine the degree to which preheating amplifies density perturbations at the Hubble scale and show that at the end of the parametric resonance, power spectra are universal, with no memory of the power spectrum at the end of inflation. In addition we show how the probability distribution of density perturbations changes from exponential on very small scales to Gaussian when smoothed over the Hubble scale -- the crucial length for studies of primordial black hole formation -- hence justifying the standard assumption of Gaussianity.

In this thesis, the infrared structure of squared matrix elements in quantum chromodynamics (QCD) is scrutinised. Specifically, the triple-collinear splitting functions are decomposed and improvements to antenna subtraction are sought through the construction of idealised antenna functions. The antenna-subtraction technique has demonstrated remarkable effectiveness in handling next-to-next-to-leading order (NNLO) infrared divergences for a wide range of QCD processes relevant for colliders. However, since antenna functions were historically extracted from matrix elements, they did not have uniform properties, which made the generation of subtraction terms complex. Antenna subtraction up to NNLO is reviewed, including the role of antenna functions. A general algorithm is detailed in order to re-build antenna functions, with idealised features, directly from a specified list of unresolved limits, for any number of real and virtual emissions. Using this general algorithm, together with the decomposition of the triple-collinear splitting functions, all the antenna functions required for NNLO QCD calculations in the final-final configuration are constructed and it is demonstrated that they form a consistent NNLO subtraction scheme. The idealised antenna functions should simplify the generation of subtraction terms and minimise the introduction of spurious limits. Additionally, the general algorithm sets out an initial blueprint for next-to-NNLO (N$^3$LO) idealised antennae for use in N$^3$LO QCD calculations.

The geometry of solutions to the higher dimensional Einstein vacuum equations presents aspects that are absent in four dimensions, one of the most remarkable being the existence of stably trapped null geodesics in the exterior of asymptotically flat black holes. This paper investigates the stable trapping phenomenon for two families of higher dimensional black holes, namely black strings and black rings, and how this trapping structure is responsible for the slow decay of linear waves on their exterior. More precisely, we study decay properties for the energy of solutions to the scalar, linear wave equation $\Box_{g_{\textup{ring}}} \Psi=0$, where $g_{\textup{ring}}$ is the metric of a fixed black ring solution to the five-dimensional Einstein vacuum equations. For a class $\mathfrak{g}$ of black ring metrics, we prove a logarithmic lower bound for the uniform energy decay rate on the black ring exterior $(\mathcal{D},g_{\textup{ring}})$, with $g_{\textup{ring}}\in\mathfrak{g}$. The proof generalizes the perturbation argument and quasimode construction of Holzegel--Smulevici \cite{SharpLogHolz} to the case of a non-separable wave equation and crucially relies on the presence of stably trapped null geodesics on $\mathcal{D}$. As a by-product, the same logarithmic lower bound can be established for any five-dimensional black string. Our result is the first mathematically rigorous statement supporting the expectation that black rings are dynamically unstable to generic perturbations. In particular, we conjecture a new \textit{nonlinear} instability for five-dimensional black strings and thin black rings which is already present at the level of scalar perturbations and clearly differs from the mechanism driven by the well-known Gregory--Laflamme instability.

Matsumoto and Yoshimura have recently argued that the number density of heavy particles in a thermal bath is not necessarily Boltzmann-suppressed for T << M, as power law corrections may emerge at higher orders in perturbation theory. This fact might have important implications on the determination of WIMP relic densities. On the other hand, the definition of number densities in a interacting theory is not a straightforward procedure. It usually requires renormalization of composite operators and operator mixing, which obscure the physical interpretation of the computed thermal average. We propose a new definition for the thermal average of a composite operator, which does not require any new renormalization counterterm and is thus free from such ambiguities. Applying this definition to the model of Matsumoto and Yoshimura we find that it gives number densities which are Boltzmann-suppressed at any order in perturbation theory. We discuss also heavy particles which are unstable already at T=0, showing that power law corrections do in general emerge in this case.

We present a covariant formulation of the Kinoshita, Lee, Nauenberg (KLN) theorem for processes involving the radiation of soft particles. The role of the disconnected diagrams is explored and a rearrangement of the perturbation theory is performed such that the purely disconnected diagrams are factored out. The remaining effect of the disconnected diagrams results in a simple modification of the usual Feynman rules for the S-matrix elements. As an application, we show that when combined with the Low theorem, this leads to a proof of the absense of the $1/Q$ corrections to inclusive processes (like the Drell-Yan process). In this paper the abelian case is discussed to all orders in the coupling.

In cross sections with angular cuts, an intricate pattern of enhanced higher-order corrections known as non-global logarithms arises. The leading logarithmic terms were computed numerically two decades ago, but the resummation of subleading non-global logarithms remained a challenge that we solve in this Letter using renormalization group methods in effective field theory. To achieve next-to-leading logarithmic accuracy, we implement the two-loop anomalous dimension governing the resummation of non-global logarithms into a large-$N_c$ parton shower framework, together with one-loop matching corrections. As a first application, we study the interjet energy flow in $e^+e^-$ annihilation into two jets. We then present, for the first time, resummed predictions at next-to-leading logarithmic accuracy for a gap-between-jets observable at hadron colliders.

In cross sections with angular cuts, an intricate pattern of enhanced higher-order corrections known as non-global logarithms arises. The leading logarithmic terms were computed numerically two decades ago, but the resummation of subleading non-global logarithms remained a challenge that we solve in this Letter using renormalization group methods in effective field theory. To achieve next-to-leading logarithmic accuracy, we implement the two-loop anomalous dimension governing the resummation of non-global logarithms into a large-$N_c$ parton shower framework, together with one-loop matching corrections. As a first application, we study the interjet energy flow in $e^+e^-$ annihilation into two jets. We then present, for the first time, resummed predictions at next-to-leading logarithmic accuracy for a gap-between-jets observable at hadron colliders.

Feynman integrals are easily solved if their system of differential equations is in $\varepsilon$-form. In this letter we show by the explicit example of the kite integral family that an $\varepsilon$-form can even be achieved, if the Feynman integrals do not evaluate to multiple polylogarithms. The $\varepsilon$-form is obtained by a (non-algebraic) change of basis for the master integrals.

The measurements of $R_{K}$ and $R_K^{*}$ provide hints for the violation of lepton universality. However, it is generally difficult to explain the $R_{K^*}$ measurement in the low $q^2$ range, $0.045 \le q^2 \le 1.1$ GeV$^2$. Light mediators offer a solution by making the Wilson coefficients $q^2$ dependent. We check if new lepton nonuniversal interactions mediated by a scalar ($S$) or vector particle ($Z^\prime$) of mass between $10-200$ MeV can reproduce the data. We find that a 25 MeV $Z^\prime$ with a $q^2$-dependent $b-s$ coupling and that couples to the electron but not the muon can explain all three anomalies in conjunction with other measurements. A similar 25 MeV $S$ provides a good fit to all relevant data except $R_{K^*}$ in the low $q^2$ bin. A 25 MeV $Z^\prime$ with a $q^2$-dependent $b-s$ coupling and that couples to the muon but not the electron provides a good fit to the combination of the $R_K$ and $R_{K^*}$ data, but does not fit $R_{K^*}$ in the low $q^2$ bin well.

Protons accelerated in the cores of active galactic nuclei can effectively produce neutrinos only if the soft radiation background in the core is sufficiently high. We find restrictions on the spectral properties and luminosity of blazars under which they can be strong neutrino sources. We analyze the possibility that neutrino flux is highly beamed along the rotation axis of the central black hole. The enhancement of neutrino flux compared to GeV gamma-ray flux from a given source makes the detection of neutrino point sources more probable. At the same time the smaller open angle reduces the number of possible neutrino-loud blazars compared to the number of gamma-ray loud ones. We present the table of 15 blazars which are the most likely candidates for the detection by future neutrino telescopes.

We derive quantum Boltzmann equations from Schwinger-Dyson equations in gradient expansion for a weakly coupled scalar field theory with a spatially varying mass. We find that at higher order in gradients a full description of the system requires specifying not only an on shell distribution function but also a finite number of its derivatives, or equivalently its higher moments. These derivatives describe quantum coherence arising as a consequence of localization in position space. We then show that in the limit of frequent scatterings coherent quantum effects are suppressed, and the transport equations reduce to the single Boltzmann equation for particle density, in which particles flow along modified semiclassical trajectories in phase space.

Using the Wilson flux breaking mechanism we are left in four dimensions with an $\mathcal{N}=1$ $SU(3)^3$ gauge theory. Below the unification scale we have a two Higgs doublet model in a split-like supersymmetric version of the Standard Model, which yields third generation quark and light Higgs masses within the experimental limits and predicts the LSP $\sim $ 1500 $GeV$.

Using the SANC system we study the one-loop electroweak standard model predictions, including virtual and real photon emission, for the decays of the on-shell vector boson, W --> L ANTI-NU (GAMMA). The complete one-loop corrections and exact photon emission matrix element are taken into account. For the phase-space integration, the Monte Carlo technique is used. This provides a useful element, first for the evaluation of the theoretical uncertainty of PHOTOS. Later we analyse the source of the differences between SANC and PHOTOS and we calculate the additional weight, which once installed, improves predictions of PHOTOS simulations. We can conclude that, after the correction of the weight is implemented, the theoretical uncertainty of PHOTOS simulations due to an incomplete first-order matrix element is reduced to below alpha/pi, for observables not tagging the photon in a direct way, and to 10% otherwise. This is interesting for applications in the phenomenology of the ongoing LEP2 and future LC and LHC experimental studies.

We consider the effect of general neutrino interactions (scalar, vector, pseudoscalar, axial vector and tensor) in neutrino-electron scattering at the DUNE near detector. Those interactions can be associated with heavy new physics and their effect is to cause distortions in the recoil spectrum of the electrons. We show that for some cases energy scales up to 9 TeV are accessible after a 5 year run and that current bounds on interaction parameters can be improved by up to an order of magnitude. The full set of general interactions includes the usually considered neutrino-electron non-standard matter interactions, and the near detector will give limits comparable but complementary to the ones from the analysis of neutrino oscillations in the far detector.

In a recent work by us, we have studied, how CP violation discovery potential can be improved at long baseline neutrino experiments (LBNE/DUNE), by combining with its ND (near detector) and reactor experiments. In this work, we discuss how this study can be further analysed to resolve entanglement of the quadrant of leptonic CPV phase and Octant of atmospheric mixing angle $ \theta_{23} $, at LBNEs. The study is done for both NH (Normal hierarchy) and IH (Inverted hierarchy), HO (Higher Octant) and LO (Lower Octant). We show how baryogenesis can enhance the effect of resolving this entanglement, and how possible values of the leptonic CP-violating phase $ \delta_{CP} $ can be predicted in this context. With respect to the latest global fit data of neutrino mixing angles, we predict the values of $ \delta_{CP} $ for different cases. In this context we present favoured values of $ \delta_{CP} $ ($ \delta_{CP} $ range at $ \geq $ 2$ \sigma $ ) constrained by the latest updated BAU range and also confront our predictions of $ \delta_{CP} $ with an up-to-date global analysis of neutrino oscillation data. We find that some region of the favoured $ \delta_{CP} $ parameter space lies within the best fit values around $ \delta_{CP} \simeq 1.3\pi-1.4 \pi $. A detailed analytic and numerical study of baryogenesis through leptogenesis is performed in this framework in a model independent way.

With $\mu\to e\gamma$ decay forbidden by multiplicative lepton number conservation, we study muonium--antimuonium transitions induced by neutral scalar bosons. Pseudoscalars do not induce conversion for triplet muonium, while for singlet muonium, pseudoscalar and scalar contributions add constructively. This is in contrast to the usual case of doubly charged scalar exchange, where the conversion rate is the same for both singlet and triplet muonium. Complementary to muonium conversion studies, high energy $\mu^+e^- \to \mu^- e^+$ and $e^-e^- \to \mu^- \mu^-$ collisions could reveal spectacular resonance peaks for the cases of neutral and doubly charged scalars, respectively.

In LGT spin of matter also gravitates. The spin-generated gravity is expected to be extremely stronger than that generated by mass and could be explored in current colliders. In this article the observable signals of the theory in an electron-positron collider is investigated.

We derive the complete pole part in dimensional regularization at three loops, and extend the resummation of the form factor to the next-to-next-to-leading contributions. These results are employed to evaluate the infrared finite absolute ratio of the time-like and space-like form factors up to the fourth order in the strong coupling constant. Besides for the pole structure of higher-loop QCD amplitudes, our new contributions to the form factor are also relevant for the high-energy limit of massive gauge theories like QED. The highest-transcendentality component of our results confirms a result recently obtained in N=4 Super-Yang-Mills theory.

The $B-L$ MSSM is the MSSM with three right-handed neutrino chiral multiplets and gauged $B-L$ symmetry. The $B-L$ symmetry is broken by the third family right-handed sneutrino acquiring a VEV, thus spontaneously breaking $R$-parity. Within a natural range of soft supersymmetry breaking parameters, it is shown that a large and uncorrelated number of initial values satisfy all present phenomenological constraints; including the correct masses for the $W^{\pm}$, $Z^0$ bosons, having all sparticles exceeding their present lower bounds and giving the experimentally measured value for the Higgs boson. For this "valid" set of initial values, there are a number of different LSPs, each occurring a calculable number of times. We plot this statistically and determine that among the most prevalent LSPs are chargino and neutralino mass eigenstates. In this paper, the $R$-parity violating decay channels of charginos and neutralinos to standard model particles are determined, and the interaction vertices and decay rates computed analytically. These results are valid for any chargino and neutralino, regardless of whether or not they are the LSP. For chargino and neutralino LSPs, we will-- in a subsequent series of papers --present a numerical study of their RPV decays evaluated statistically over the range of associated valid initial points.

We obtain a performing algorithm to decompose tensorial quantities up to any perturbative order of the metric. The features of our code are tested by discussing some concrete computational issues in research activities related to first/higher-order gravitational waves.

In this work, we investigate inflationary cosmology using scalar field theory deformed by the generalized uncertainty principle (GUP) containing a linear momentum term. Apart from being consistent with the existence of a minimum measurable length scale, this GUP is also consistent with doubly special relativity and hence with the existence of maximum measurable momentum. We use this deformed scalar field theory to analyze the tensor and scalar mode equations in a de Sitter background, and to calculate modifications to the tensor-to-scalar ratio. Finally, we compare our results for the tensor-to-scalar ratio with the Planck data to constrain the minimum length parameter in the GUP.

A general study of pentaquarks built with four quarks in a L=1 state and an antiquark in S-wave shows that several of such states are forbidden by a selection rule, which holds in the limit of flavour symmetry, to decay into a baryon and a meson final state. We identify the most promising \bar{10} multiplet for the classification of the Theta^+ and Xi^{--} particles recently discovered with the prediction of a narrow width for both of them.

Despite growing interest and extensive effort to search for ultralight dark matter in the form of a hypothetical dark photon, how it fits into a consistent cosmology is unclear. Several dark photon dark matter production mechanisms proposed previously are known to have limitations, at least in certain mass regimes of experimental interest. In this letter, we explore a novel mechanism, where a coherently oscillating axion-like field can efficiently transfer its energy density to a dark photon field via a tachyonic instability. The residual axion relic is subsequently depleted via couplings to the visible sector, leaving only the dark photon as dark matter. We ensure that the cosmologies of both the axion and dark photon are consistent with existing constraints. We find that the mechanism works for a broad range of dark photon masses, including those of interest for ongoing experiments and proposed detection techniques.

Using the light-front holographic model, we study the transverse momentum dependent parton distributions (TMDs) for the case of pion. At leading twist, the unpolarized parton distribution function $ f_{1\pi}(x,\bfk^{2}) $ and the Boer-Mulders function $ h_{1\pi}^{\bot}(x,\bfk^{2}) $ are obtained for pion. We calculate both the functions using the light-front holographic model with spin improved wave function and compare the predicted results with available results of other models. In order to provide inputs in predicting future experimental data, a LO evolution is performed from model scale to experimental scale for the case of unpolarized parton distribution function $ f_{1\pi}(x,\bfk^{2}) $.

The supersymmetric $SU(6)$ model accompanied by the flavour-blind discrete symmetry $Z_3$ can succesfully deal with such key problems of SUSY GUTs, as are the gauge hierarchy/doublet-triplet splitting, $\mu$-problem and flavour problem. The Higgs doublets arise as Goldstone modes of the spontaneously broken {\em accidental} global $SU(6)\times U(6)$ symmetry of the Higgs superpotential. Their couplings to fermions have peculiarities leading to the consistent picture of the quark and lepton masses and mixing, without invoking any of horizontal symmetry/zero texture concepts. In particular, the only particle that has direct Yukawa coupling with the Higgs doublet is top quark. Other fermion masses appear from the higher order operators, with natural mass hierarchy. Specific mass formulas are also obtained. [On the basis of talks given at the Int. Workshop "Physics from Planck Scale to Electroweak Scale", Warsaw, Poland, 21-24 September 1994, and at the III Trieste Conference "Recent Developments in the Phenomenology of Particle Physics", Trieste, Italy, 3-7 October 1994.]

The KamLAND and Borexino experiments have detected electron antineutrinos produced in the decay chains of natural thorium and uranium (Th and U geoneutrinos). We analyze the energy spectra of current geoneutrino data in combination with solar and long-baseline reactor neutrino data, with marginalized three-neutrino oscillation parameters. We consider the case with unconstrained Th and U event rates in KamLAND and Borexino, as well as cases with fewer degrees of freedom, as obtained by successively assuming for both experiments a common Th/U ratio, a common scaling of Th+U event rates, and a chondritic Th/U value. In combination, KamLAND and Borexino can reject the null hypothesis (no geoneutrino signal) at 5 sigma. Interesting bounds or indications emerge on the Th+U geoneutrino rates and on the Th/U ratio, in broad agreement with typical Earth model expectations. Conversely, the results disfavor the hypothesis of a georeactor in the Earth's core, if its power exceeds a few TW. The interplay of KamLAND and Borexino geoneutrino data is highlighted.

The energy spectrum of cosmic neutrinos, which was recently reported by the IceCube collaboration, shows a gap between 400 TeV and 1 PeV. An unknown neutrino interaction mediated by a field with a mass of the MeV scale is one of the possible solutions to this gap. We examine if the leptonic gauge interaction L_{\mu} - L_{\tau} can simultaneously explain the two phenomena in the lepton sector: the gap in the cosmic neutrino spectrum and the unsettled disagreement in muon anomalous magnetic moment. We illustrate that there remains the regions in the model parameter space, which account for both the problems. Our results also provide a hint for the distance to the source of the high-energy cosmic neutrinos.

In view of the fact that the $n = 1$ Kaluza-Klein (KK) modes in a model with a Universal Extra Dimension (UED), could mimic supersymmetry signatures at the LHC, it is necessary to look for the $n = 2$ KK modes, which have no analogues in supersymmetry. We discuss the possibility of searching for heavy $n = 2$ vector boson resonances -- especially the $g_2$ -- through their decays to a highly-boosted top quark-antiquark pair using recently-developed top-jet tagging techniques in the hadronic channel. It is shown that $t\bar{t}$ signals from the $n = 2$ gluon resonance are as efficient a discovery mode at the LHC as dilepton channels from the $\gamma_2$ and $Z_2$ resonances.

The low-energy antineutrino- and neutrino-nucleon neutral current elastic scattering is studied within the framework of the relativistic SU(2) baryon chiral perturbation theory up to the order of $\mathcal{O}(p^3)$. We have derived the model-independent hadronic amplitudes and extracted the form factors from them. It is found that differential cross sections ${{\rm d} \sigma}/{{\rm d} Q^2}$ for the processes of (anti)neutrino-proton scattering are in good agreement with the existing MiniBooNE data in the $Q^2$ region $[0.13,0.20]$ GeV$^2$, where nuclear effects are expected to be negligible. For $Q^2\leq 0.13$ GeV$^2$, large deviation is observed, which is mainly owing to the sizeable Pauli blocking effect. Comparisons with the simulation data produced by the NuWro and GIENE Mento Carlo events generators are also discussed. The chiral results obtained in this work can be utilized as inputs in various nuclear models to achieve the goal of precise determination of the strangeness axial vector form factor, in particular when the low-energy MicroBooNE data are available in the near future.

For $Q^2\leq 0.13$ GeV$^2$, large deviation is observed, which is mainly owing to the sizeable Pauli blocking effect. Comparisons with the simulation data produced by the NuWro and GIENE Mento Carlo events generators are also discussed. The chiral results obtained in this work can be utilized as inputs in various nuclear models to achieve the goal of precise determination of the strangeness axial vector form factor, in particular when the low-energy MicroBooNE data are available in the near future.

We develop a systematic treatment for the quasi-zero modes, which play an important role in nonabelian gauge theories. It can be used to derive the analytic forms for the constrained instantons in the \ymh theory. This will automatically sum up contributions to all orders in $\rho$, the instanton size. We also give the analytic expressions for the instanton-antiinstanton pair, with an arbitrary relative phase. We apply the results to the computation for high energy baryon number violating cross section, as well as to Klinkhamer's new instanton.

We revisit the $\rho$-meson longitudinal leading-twist distribution amplitude (DA) $\phi_{2;\rho}^\|$ by using the QCD sum rules approach within the background field theory. To improve the accuracy of the sum rules for its moments $\langle\xi_{n;\rho}^\|\rangle$, we include the next-to-leading order QCD correction to the perturbative part and keep all non-perturbative condensates up to dimension-six consistently within the background field theory. The first two moments read $\langle \xi_{2;\rho}^\| \rangle|_{1{\rm GeV}} = 0.241(28)$ and $\langle \xi_{4;\rho}^\| \rangle|_{1{\rm GeV}} = 0.109(10)$, indicating a double humped behavior for $\phi_{2;\rho}^\|$ at small energy scale. As an application, we apply them to the $B\to \rho $ transition form factors within the QCD light-cone sum rules, which are key components for the decay width $\Gamma(B\to \rho \ell \nu_\ell)$. To compare with the world-average of $\Gamma(B\to \rho \ell \nu_\ell)$ issued by Particle Data Group, we predict $|V_{\rm ub}| = 3.19^{+0.65}_{-0.62}$, which agrees with the BABAR and Omn\`{e}s parameterization prediction within errors.

We present the dependence of $D$ production on the charged particle multiplicity in proton-proton collisions at LHC energies. We show that, in a framework of source coherence, the open charm production exhibits a growth with the multiplicity which is stronger than linear in the high density domain. This departure from linearity was previously observed in the $J/\psi$ inclusive data from proton-proton collisions at 7 TeV and was successfully described in our approach. Our assumption, the existence of coherence effects present in proton-proton collisions at high energy, applies for high multiplicity proton-proton collisions in the central rapidity region and should affect any hard observable.

We study the constraints on possible new physics contribution to the forward-backward asymmetry of muons, A_{FB}(q^2), in B --> K mu+ mu-. New physics in the form of vector/axial-vector operators does not contribute to A_{FB}(q^2) whereas new physics in the form of scalar/pseudoscalar operators can enhance A_{FB}(q^2) only by a few per cent. However new physics the form of tensor operators can take the peak value of A_{FB}(q^2) to as high as 40% near the high-q^2 end point. In addition, if both scalar/pseudoscalar and tensor operators are present, then A_{FB}(q^2) can be more than 15% for the entire high-q^2 region q^2 > 15 GeV^2. The observation of significant A_{FB} would imply the presence of new physics tensor operators, whereas its q^2 dependence could further indicate the presence of new scalar/pseudoscalar physics.

We make use of the phase space density approach to discuss gravitino as a warm dark matter candidate. Barring fine tuning between the reheat temperature in the Universe and superparticle masses, we find that \emph{warm} gravitinos have both appropriate total mass density, Omega_{\tilde G} = \Omega_{DM} \simeq 0.2, and suitable primordial phase space density at low momenta provided that their mass is in the range 1 keV \lesssim \mg \lesssim 15 keV, the reheat temperature in the Universe is low, T_R \lesssim 10 TeV, and masses of some of the superparticles are sufficiently small, M \lesssim 350 GeV. The latter property implies that the gravitino warm dark matter scenario will be either ruled out or supported by the LHC experiments.

The Mathisson-Papapetrou equations in Kerr's background are considered. The region of existence of highly relativistic planar circular orbits of a spinning particle in this background and dependence of the particle's Lorentz $\gamma$-factor on its spin and radial coordinate are investigated. It is shown that in contrast to the highly relativistic circular orbits of a spinless particle the corresponding orbits of a spinning particle are allowed in much wider space region. Some of these orbits show the significant attractive action of the spin-gravity coupling on a particle and others are caused by the significant repulsive action. Numerical estimates for electrons, protons and neutrinos in the gravitational field of black holes are presented.

Modified quark fragmentation functions in deeply inelastic $eA$ collisions and their QCD evolution equations are derived for the first time in the framework of multiple parton scattering. Induced radiation gives rise to additional terms in the evolution equations and thus softens the modified quark fragmentation functions. The results in the next-leading-twist depend on both diagonal and off-diagonal twist-four parton distributions and the combination of which clearly manifests the LPM interference pattern. The predicted modification depends quadratically on the nuclear size ($A^{2/3}$). Generalization to the case of hot QCD medium is also discussed.
