We present the calculation of the hyperon forward spin polarizability gamma0 using manifestly Lorentz covariant baryon chiral perturbation theory including the intermediate contribution of the spin 3/2 states. As at the considered order the extraction of gamma0 is a pure prediction of chiral perturbation theory, the obtained values are a good test for this theory. After including explicitly the decuplet states, our SU(2) results have a very good agreement with the experimental data and we extend our framework to SU(3) to give predictions to the hyperons' gamma0 values. Prominent are the Sigma^- and Xi^- baryons as their photon transition to the decuplet is forbidden in SU(3) symmetry and therefore they are not sensitive to the explicit inclusion of the decuplet in the theory.

Peripheral one-tube model has shown to be a nice tool for dynamically understanding several aspects of ridge structures in long-range two-particle correlations, observed experimentally and obtained also in our model calculations using NexSPheRIO code. Here, we study an extension of the model, to initial configurations with several peripheral tubes distributed randomly in azimuth. We show that the two-particle correlation is almost independent of the number of tubes, although the flow distribution becomes indeed strongly event dependent. In our picture, the ridge structures are causally connected not only in the longitudinal direction but also in azimuth.

I calculate the first corrections to the dynamical pre-exponential factor of the bubble nucleation rate for a relativistic first-order phase transition in an expanding cosmological background by estimating the effects of the Hubble expansion rate on the critical bubbles of Langer's statistical theory of metastability. I also comment on possible applications and problems that arise when one considers the field theoretical extensions of these results (the Coleman-De Luccia and Hawking-Moss instantons and decay rates).

The most fascinating dibaryon in the non-strange quark sector is $d^*(2380)$, which was reported by WASA-at-COSY Collaboration and confirmed by A2@MAMI Collaboration. The reported mass and width are $M\approx2.37$ GeV, $\Gamma\approx70$ MeV and the quantum numbers $IJ^P=03^+$. The structure of $d^*(2380)$ is still in controversy. In the present calculation, the powerful method in few-body system, Gaussian expansion method is employed to explore the structure of $d^*(2380)$ in the framework of constituent quark models without assuming the presupposed structure. The results show that the radius of $d^*(2380)$ is around 0.7 fm, a very compact object. Because of the compact structure, the color singlet-singlet component has a large overlap with the color octet-octet one, two colorless, large overlapped $\Delta$s dominate the state is possible.

We study the phase structure of the abelian Higgs model in three dimensions based on perturbation theory and a set of gauge independent gap equations for Higgs boson and vector boson masses. Contrary to the non-abelian Higgs model, the vector boson mass vanishes in the symmetric phase. In the Higgs phase the gap equations yield masses consistent with perturbation theory. The phase transition is first-order for small values of the scalar self-coupling $\lambda$, where the employed loop expansion is applicable.

Searches for top quark-associated physics such as $t\bar t W$ or $t\bar t H$ in final states with multiple leptons require a careful accounting of expected backgrounds due to the lack of reconstructible resonances. We demonstrate that the rare top quark decays $t \to \ell' \nu b \ell\ell$ and $t \to q q' b \ell\ell$, when a soft lepton is not detected, can contribute a non-negligible background to such searches. Simulations in the LHC experiments typically do not account for such decays and as such backgrounds to such searches may be underestimated.

It is shown that the new branching ratio $\calB(B\to K_1(1270)\gamma)$ requires very large form factor compared to the theoretically predicted one. This is an opposite case to $B\to K^*\gamma$ where theory expected larger branching ratio. Possible origins of the discrepancy are discussed.

We consider strong-field effects in laboratory and astrophysical plasmas and high intensity laser and cavity systems. Current state-of-the-art laser facilities are close to reaching energy scales at which quantum electrodynamics will play a crucial role in the dynamics of plasmas and indeed the vacuum itself. Developments such as the free electron laser may also give a means for exploring remote violent events such as supernovae in a laboratory environment. Here we describe the implications of collective interactions between photons and photon-plasma systems. We give an overview of strong field vacuum effects and a set of equations describing the nonlinear propagation of an electromagnetic pulse on a radiation-plasma is derived. Effects introduced by QED in pair plasmas is described. Applications to laser-plasma systems and astrophysical environments are discussed.

From the LHC runs we know that, with increasing collider energy, weak-boson-fusion Higgs production dominates as an environment for precision measurements. We show how a future hadron collider performs for three challenging benchmark signatures. Because all of these measurements rely on the tagging jet signature, we first give a comprehensive analysis of weak-boson-fusion kinematics and a proposed two-step jet veto at a 100 TeV hadron collider. We then find this machine to be sensitive to invisible Higgs branching ratios of 0.5%, a second-generation muon Yukawa coupling of 2%, and an enhanced total Higgs width of around 5%, the latter with essentially no model dependence. This kind of performance crucially relies on a sufficient detector coverage and a dedicated weak-boson-fusion trigger channel.

While the fermionic DM is non-thermal, we will explain two scenarios in which production of pseudo-scalar particles are either thermal or non thermal. We'll present elaborate discussion to derive yield quantity and relic density and illustrate these values for the different range of model parameters. We'll investigate constraints on parameters space coming from invisible Higgs decay at LHC. For the case of extremely small couplings and zero mixing between SM Higgs field with pseudo scalar field which pseudo scalar boson can play role of DM, we will justify recent observation of merging galaxies with a case of self-interacting DM. We'll show that influence of DM annihilation in this case, would provide a better fit to the AMS-02 data of positron flux.

We investigate the axial-vector transition form factors of the baryon octet to the baryon decuplet within the framework of the chiral quark-soliton model, with the effects of flavor SU(3) symmetry breaking included. We consider the rotational $1/N_c$ corrections and regard the strange current quark mass as a perturbation. We compare the present results for the $\Delta \to N$ axial-vector transition with those from other models and lattice QCD. We also compute all possible axial-vector transitions from the baryon decuplet to the octet with the strangeness changed, i.e., $|\Delta S|=1$. We obtain the value of the essential form factor $C_5^A$ for the $\Delta\to N$ axial-vector transition at the zero momentum transfer ($Q^2=0$). Furthermore, the present results are in good agreement with those fitted with the T2K data. We extract the value of the axial-vector mass $M_A$ compared to the data.

Drell-Yan-like W-boson and Z-boson production in the resonance region allows for some high-precision measurements that are crucial to carry experimental tests of the Standard Model to the extremes, such as the determinations of the W-boson mass and the effective weak mixing angle. We describe how the Standard Model prediction can be successfully performed in terms of a consistent expansion about the resonance pole, which classifies the corrections in terms of factorizable and non-factorizable contributions. The former can be attributed to the W/Z production and decay subprocesses individually, while the latter link production and decay by soft-photon exchange. At next-to-leading order we compare the full electroweak corrections with the pole-expanded approximations, confirming the validity of the approximation. At O(\alpha_s\alpha), we describe the concept of the expansion and report on results on the non-factorizable contributions, which turn out to be phenomenologically negligible. Moreover, we present first (preliminary) results on the dominant factorizable O(\alpha_s\alpha) corrections, which originate from the interplay of initial-state QCD and final-state electroweak corrections. Numerically those corrections significantly differ from a mere product of the two next-to-leading-order correction factors.

Alternative Treatment of the Quark Mass in the Heavy Quark Expansion

The treatment of the quark mass plays an important role when it comes to increasing the precision of the predictions of the heavy quark expansion for inclusive heavy hadron decays. Various short-distance mass schemes have been invented to minimize the uncertainties induced by the quark mass, which needs to be extracted from other, independent observables.

The treatment of the quark mass plays an important role when it comes to increasing the precision of the predictions of the heavy quark expansion for inclusive heavy hadron decays. Various short-distance mass schemes have been invented to minimize the uncertainties induced by the quark mass, which needs to be extracted from other, independent observables. We suggest to replace the quark mass directly by an observable such as e.g. the inverse moments of the cross section for $e^+ e^- \to $ hadrons. We investigate this alternative strategy and study its impact on the perturbative series.

The electron spin degree of freedom can play a significant role in relativistic scattering processes involving intense laser fields. In this contribution we discuss the influence of the electron spin on (i) Kapitza-Dirac scattering in an x-ray laser field of high intensity, (ii) photo-induced electron-positron pair production in a strong laser wave and (iii) multiphoton electron-positron pair production on an atomic nucleus. We show that in all cases under consideration the electron spin can have a characteristic impact on the process properties and their total probabilities. To this end, spin-resolved calculations based on the Dirac equation in the presence of an intense laser field are performed. The predictions from Dirac theory are also compared with the corresponding results from the Klein-Gordon equation.

The Global Colour Model(GCM) of QCD is used to extract low energy quark-gluon processes from experimental data. The resultant effective quark-quark coupling correlator is compared with that of Jain and Munczek, and with the combined lattice results of Marenzoni et al. and Skullerud, and with the two-loop form. The results suggest that higher order gluon vertices are playing a role in coupling quark currents. The success of the GCM is explained by an infrared saturation effect.

We show that an accurate use of up-to-date information on the B fragmentation function reduces the observed excess to an acceptable level. Possible implications for experimental results reporting bottom quark cross sections, also showing an excess with respect to next-to-leading order theoretical predictions, are discussed.

In the absence of a Grand Unified Theory framework, connecting the values of the mixing parameters in the quark and lepton sector is a difficult task, unless one introduces ad-hoc relations among the matrices that diagonalize such different kinds of fermions. In this paper, we discuss in detail the possibility that the PMNS matrix is given by the product U_{PMNS}=V^\ast_{CKM} T^\ast where T comes from the diagonalization of a see-saw like mass matrix that can be of a Bimaximal (BM), Tri-Bimaximal (TBM) and Golden Ratio (GR) form, and identify the leading corrections to such patterns that allow a good fit to the leptonic mixing matrix as well as to the CP phase. We also show that the modified versions of BM, TBM and GR can easily accommodate the solar and atmospheric mass differences

In this paper, we present a model which attempts to unify a new dark sector force with a local $SU(3)$ flavor symmetry. Dark Matter (DM) and its potential interactions with the Standard Model (SM) continue to present a rich framework for model building. In the case of thermal DM of a mass between a few MeV and a few GeV, a compelling and much-explored framework is that of a dark photon/vector portal, which posits a new $U(1)$ "dark photon" which only couples to the SM via small kinetic mixing (KM) with the SM hypercharge. This mixing can be mediated at the one-loop level by portal matter (PM) fields which are charged under both the dark $U(1)$ and the SM gauge group. In earlier work, one of the authors has noted that models with appropriate portal matter content to produce finite and calculable kinetic mixing can arise from non-minimal dark sectors, in which the dark $U(1)$ is a subgroup of a larger gauge symmetry under which SM particles might have non-trivial representations. We expand on this idea here by constructing a model in which in which the dark $U(1)$ is unified with another popular extension to the SM gauge group, a local $SU(3)$ flavor symmetry. The full dark/flavor symmetry group is $SU(4)_F \times U(1)_F$, incorporating the local $SU(3)$ flavor symmetry with PM appearing as a vector-like "fourth generation" to supplement the three generations of the SM. To ensure finite contributions to KM, the SM gauge group is arranged into Pati-Salam multiplets. The new extended dark gauge group presents a variety of interesting experimental signatures, including non-trivial consequences of the flavor symmetry being unified with the dark sector.

A novel paradigm for thermal dark matter (DM), termed "bouncing dark matter", is presented. In canonical thermal DM scenarios, the DM abundance falls exponentially as the temperature drops below the mass of DM, until thermal freezeout occurs. This note explores a broader class of thermal DM models that are exceptions to this rule, where the DM abundance can deviate from the exponentially falling curve, and even rise exponentially, while in thermal equilibrium. Such scenarios can feature present day DM annihilation cross sections much larger than the canonical thermal target, improving the prospects for indirect detection of DM annihilation signals.

We study the sensitivity to the CP/T-violation search in the presence of ambiguities of the theoretical parameters. Three generations of neutrinos are considered. The parameters whose ambiguities are considered are the differences of the squared masses, the mixing angles, and the density of matter. We first consider the statistics that are sensitive to the genuine CP-violation effect originating from the imaginary coupling. No ambiguity of the parameters is considered in this part. It is argued that the widely-adopted usual statistics are not necessarily sensitive to the genuine CP-violation effect. Two statistics that are sensitive to the imaginary coupling are proposed. The qualitative difference between these statistics and the usual one are discussed. Next we proceed to the case where the ambiguity of the parameters is present. The sensitivity of the CP-violation search is greatly spoiled when the baseline length is longer than about one thousand kilometers, which turns out to be due to the ambiguity of the matter effect. Thus the CP-violation search by use of CP conjugate channels turns out to require a low energy neutrino and short baseline length. It is also shown that such a loss of sensitivity is avoided by using T-conjugate oscillation channels.

The limit on $g_p$ arises since a nonzero $g_p$ would induce a coupling of the pseudoscalar to two photons, which is limited by experiments studying laser beam propagation in magnetic fields. Combining our bound on $g_p$ with a recent analysis of Fischbach and Krause on two-pseudoscalar exchange potentials and experiments testing the equivalence principle, we obtain our limit on $g_n$.

We present analytical and numerical results for the Dirac form factor of the quark-gluon vertex in the quark symmetric limit, where the incoming and outgoing quark momenta have the same magnitude but opposite sign.

We present analytical and numerical results for the Dirac form factor of the quark-gluon vertex in the quark symmetric limit, where the incoming and outgoing quark momenta have the same magnitude but opposite sign. To accomplish this, we compute the relevant components of the quark-ghost scattering kernel at the one-loop dressed approximation, using as basic ingredients the full quark propagator, obtained as a solution of the quark gap equation, and the gluon propagator and ghost dressing function, obtained from large-volume lattice simulations.

The solar and baseline neutrino oscillation data suggest bimaximal neutrino mixing among the first two generations, and trimaximal mixing between all three neutrino flavors. It has been conjectured that this indicates the existence of an underlying symmetry for the leptonic fermion mass textures. The experimentally measured quantities however, are associated to the latter indirectly and in a rather complicated way through the mixing matrices of the charged leptons and neutrinos. Motivated by these facts, we derive exact analytical expressions which directly link the charged lepton and neutrino mass and mixing parameters to measured quantities and obtain constraints on the parameter space. We discuss deviations from Tri-Bi mixing matrices and present minimal extensions of the Harrison Perkins and Scott matrices capable of interpreting all neutrino data.

We parametrize phenomenologically possible new physics effects and calculate their influence on the invariant dilepton mass spectrum and the Dalitz plot for the decays $B \to K \ell^+ \ell^-$ and $B \to K^\ast \ell^+ \ell^-$. Especially the decay into $K^*$ yields a wealth of new information on the form of the new interactions since the Dalitz plot is sensitive to subtle interference effects. We also show how transversely polarized $K^*$-mesons give additional information.

The Two-Higgs Doublet Model (2HDM) is one of the most popular and natural extensions of the Higgs sector; but it has two potential fine-tuning problems, related to the electroweak (EW) breaking and the requirement of alignment with the SM Higgs boson. We have quantified the fine-tunings obtaining analytical expressions, both in terms of the initial 2HDM parameters and the physical ones (masses, mixing angles, etc.). We also provide simple approximate expressions. We have taken into account that the fine-tunings are not independent and removed the "double counting" by projecting the variations of the alignment onto the constant-${\rm v}^2$ hypersurface. The EW and the alignment fine-tunings become severe in different, even opposite, regions of the parameter space, namely in the regimes of large and small extra-Higgs masses, respectively; emerging an intermediate region, $500\ {\rm GeV} \leq \{m_H, m_A, m_{H^\pm}\} \leq 700\ {\rm GeV}$, where both are acceptably small. We also discuss a remarkable trend that is not obvious at first glance. Namely, for large $\tan\beta$ both the EW and the alignment fine-tunings become mitigated. In consequence, the 2HDM becomes quite natural for $\tan\beta\geq {\cal O} (10)$, even if $m_H, m_A, m_{H^\pm}$ are as large as 1500 GeV. We explain why this is not the case for the 2HDM stemming from supersymmetry. We have illustrated all these trends by numerically analyzing several representative scenarios.

We introduce DRAKE, a numerical precision tool for predicting the dark matter relic abundance also in situations where the standard assumption of kinetic equilibrium during the freeze-out process may not be satisfied. DRAKE comes with a set of three dedicated Boltzmann equation solvers that implement, respectively, the traditionally adopted equation for the dark matter number density, fluid-like equations that couple the evolution of number density and velocity dispersion, and a full numerical evolution of the phase-space distribution. We review the general motivation for these approaches and, for illustration, highlight three concrete classes of models where kinetic and chemical decoupling are intertwined in a way that quantitatively impacts the relic density: i) dark matter annihilation via a narrow resonance, ii) Sommerfeld-enhanced annihilation and iii) `forbidden' annihilation to final states that are kinematically inaccessible at threshold. We discuss all these cases in some detail, demonstrating that the commonly adopted, traditional treatment can result in an estimate of the relic density that is wrong by up to an order of magnitude. The public release of DRAKE, along with several examples of how to calculate the relic density in concrete models, is provided at drake.hepforge.org

Phenomena of rotation and oscillations of particle spin are discussed for particles rotating in storage ring. The fact that these effects are described by spin-dependent part of zero-angle scattering amplitude allows to use them for the measurement of this amplitude at different energies of colliding particles. It is shown that effect magnitudes are large and they can be observed at the existing accelerators.

We investigate a method for determining the CP nature of a neutral Higgs boson or spin-zero resonance at a future linear e+e- collider (ILC) in its tau decay channel. Our procedure is applicable if the production vertex of the Higgs boson can be measured. This will be the case, for example, for the Higgs-strahlung process. We show that the method is feasible for both the leptonic and the hadronic 1-prong tau decay modes.

The contribution of quarks to the effective potential for the phase of the Wilson line is computed at nonzero temperature and quark chemical potential to one and two loop order. At zero temperature, regardless of the value of the quark chemical potential, the effective potential for the phase of the Wilson line vanishes. At nonzero temperature, for special values of the phase the free energy of quarks equals that of bosons; at nonzero chemical potential, such quarks can ``Bose condense'', albeit with negative density.

The relatively large measured value of theta_13 has opened various possiblities to determine the neutrino mass ordering, among them using PINGU, the low-energy extention of the IceCube neutrino telescope, to observe matter effects in atmospheric neutrinos, or a high statistics measurment of the neutrino energy spectrum at a reactor neutrino experiment with a baseline of around 60 km, such as the Daya Bay II project. In this work we point out a synergy between these two approaches based on the fact that when data are analysed with the wrong neutrino mass ordering the best fit occurs at different values of |Delta m^2_31| for PINGU and Daya Bay II. Hence, the wrong mass ordering can be excluded by a mismatch of the values inferred for |Delta m^2_31|, thanks to the excellent accuracy for Delta m^2_31 of both experiments. We perform numerical studies of PINGU and Daya Bay II sensitivities and show that the synergy effect may lead to a high significance determination of the mass ordering even in situations where the individual experiments obtain only poor sensitivity.

We show that both flavor-conserving and flavor-violating Yukawa couplings of the Higgs boson to first- and second-generation quarks can be probed by measuring rare decays of the form h->MV, where M denotes a vector meson and V indicates either gamma, W or Z. We calculate the branching ratios for these processes in both the Standard Model and its possible extensions. We discuss the experimental prospects for their observation. The possibility of accessing these Higgs couplings appears to be unique to the high-luminosity LHC and future hadron colliders, providing further motivation for those machines.

With the renewed distribution amplitudes of $\Lambda$, we present a reanalysis on the semi-leptonic decay $\Lambda_c\to\Lambda\ell^+\nu$ by use of the light-cone sum rule approach with two kinds of interpolating currents. The form factors describing the decay process are obtained and used to predict the decay width. With the inclusion of up to twist-6 contributions the calculations give the decay width $\Gamma=(10.04\pm0.88)\times10^{-14}{GeV}$ for Chernyak-Zhitnitsky-type(CZ-type) current and $\Gamma=(6.45\pm1.06)\times10^{-14}{GeV}$ for Ioffe-type current. The Ioffe-type interpolating current is found to be better for the estimation of the decay rate from a comparison with experimental data.

We develop an exact analytical formulation of neutrino oscillations in matter within the framework of the Standard Neutrino Model assuming 3 Dirac Neutrinos. Our Hamiltonian formulation, which includes CP violation, leads to expressions for the partial oscillation probabilities that are linear combinations of spherical Bessel functions in the eigenvalue differences. The coefficients of these Bessel functions are polynomials in the neutrino CKM matrix elements, the neutrino mass differences squared, the strength of the neutrino interaction with matter, and the neutrino mass eigenvalues in matter. We give exact closed-form expressions for all partial oscillation probabilities in terms of these basic quantities. Adopting the Standard Neutrino Model, we then examine how the exact expressions for the partial oscillation probabilities might simplify by expanding in one of the small parameters {\alpha} and sin{\theta}13 of this model. We show explicitly that for small {\alpha} and sin{\theta}13 there are branch points in the analytic structure of the eigenvalues that lead to singular behavior of expansions near the solar and atmospheric resonances. We present numerical calculations that indicate how to use the small-parameter expansions in practice.

Sneutrino-antisneutrino oscillation can be a very useful probe to look for signatures of lepton number violation ($\Delta L = 2$) at the LHC. Here, we discuss the effect of the boost factor $\gamma$ and the travelling distance $L$ on the probability of the oscillation. We demonstrate that these two parameters can significantly alter the probability of the oscillation when the sneutrinos are ultrarelativistic and have a very small total decay width. We propose a scenario where these requirements are fulfilled and which produces interesting signals at the LHC even for a mass splitting $\Delta m$ as small as $10^{-14}$ GeV between the sneutrino mass eigenstates.

The BICEP2 experiment determined the Hubble parameter during inflation to be about $10^{14}$ GeV. Such high inflation scale is in tension with the QCD axion dark matter if the Peccei-Quinn (PQ) symmetry remains broken during and after inflation, because too large axion isocurvature perturbations would be generated. The axion isocurvature perturbations can be suppressed if the axion acquires a sufficiently heavy mass during inflation. We show that this is realized if the PQ symmetry is explicitly broken down to a discrete symmetry and if the breaking is enhanced during inflation. We also show that, even when the PQ symmetry becomes spontaneously broken after inflation, such a temporarily enhanced PQ symmetry breaking relaxes the constraint on the axion decay constant.

The asymptotics of n-point Green's function at large external momenta is obtained in the exponentiated form using the Fock-Feynman-Schwinger representation for propagators in the external field. The method is applied to gauge theories such as QCD and QED, and the Sudakov form-factor is calculated as an example in QED and meson form-factor in QCD. Nonperturbative contributions can be conveniently included, as it is demonstrated in the example of the confinement correction to the form-factor.

The static sectors of the electroweak Standard Model and QCD at finite temperatures are described by 3d SU(N) Higgs models with scalars in the fundamental and adjoint representation, respectively. I summarize the non-perturbative physics of these theories like mass spectrum, string tension, screening of the static potential and non-perturbative corrections to the Debye mass, as obtained from recent lattice simulations. It is observed that in the 3d theory corresponding to the purely magnetic sector there is a larger hierarchy between different quantities than between the electric ($\sim gT$) and magnetic ($\sim g^2T$) sectors of finite T gauge theories, which are not generally well separated.

A radiative decaying Big Bang relic with a mass $m_a\simeq 5-25 \,\rm eV$, which we dub "blue axion", can be probed with direct and indirect observations of the cosmic optical background (COB). The strongest bounds on blue-axion cold dark matter come from the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) measurements of COB anisotropies at $606$~nm. We suggest that new HST measurements at higher frequencies ($336$~nm and $438$~nm) can improve current constraints on the lifetime up to one order of magnitude, and we show that also thermally produced and hot relic blue axions can be competitively probed by COB anisotropies. We exclude the simple interpretation of the excess in the diffuse COB detected by the Long Range Reconnaissance Imager (LORRI) as photons produced by a decaying hot relic. Finally, we comment on the reach of upcoming line intensity mapping experiments, that could detect blue axions with a lifetime as large as $10^{29}\,\rm s$ or $10^{27}\,\rm s$ for the cold dark matter and the hot relic case, respectively.

Decays of sneutrinos are considered in the case that in the presence of lepton-number violation in the sneutrino sector the lighter tau-sneutrino is the Lightest Supersymmetric Particle and the Cold Dark Matter in the Universe. In such circumstances the signals from sparticle decays differ considerably from the ``standard'' case where the lightest neutralino is the Lightest Supersymmetric Particle and it is found that in a wide range of parameters compatible with the sneutrino Cold Dark Matter hypothesis signatures characteristic for such a scenario should be easily observable at for example a Next Linear Collider.

We prove a factorization theorem for heavy-to-light form factors. Our result differs in several important ways from previous proposals. A proper separation of scales gives hard kernels that are free of endpoint singularities. A general procedure is described for including soft effects usually associated with the tail of wavefunctions in hard exclusive processes. We give an operator formulation of these soft effects using the soft-collinear effective theory, and show that they appear at the same order in the power counting as the hard spectator contribution.

We consider Higgs boson production by gluon fusion in hadron collisions. We study the doubly-differential transverse-momentum (q_T) and rapidity (y) distribution of the Higgs boson in perturbative QCD. In the region of small q_T (q_T << M_H, M_H being the mass of the Higgs boson), we include the effect of logarithmically-enhanced contributions due to multiparton radiation to all perturbative orders. We use the impact parameter and double Mellin moments to implement and factorize the multiparton kinematics constraint of transverse- and longitudinal-momentum conservation. The logarithmic terms are then systematically resummed in exponential form. At small q_T, we perform the all-order resummation of large logarithms up to next-to-next-to-leading logarithmic accuracy, while at large q_T (q_T ~ M_H), we apply a matching procedure that recovers the fixed-order perturbation theory up to next-to-leading order. We present quantitative results for the differential cross section in q_T and y at the LHC, and we comment on the comparison with the q_T cross section integrated over y.

We consider the high-energy behaviour of processes involving Kaluza-Klein (KK) gravitons of weak-scale string theories. We discuss how form-factors derived within string theory modify the couplings of KK gravitons and thereby lead to an exponential fall-off of cross sections in the high-energy limit. Further, we point out that the assumption of Regge behaviour for a scattering amplitude in the high energy limit, $T\propto s^{\alpha(t)}$, combined with a linear growth of the total cross-section, $\sigma_{tot}(s)\propto s$, violates elastic unitarity. Regge behaviour leads to a stringent bound on the growth of the total cross-section, $\stot (s) \leq 32\pi \alpha' \ln(s/s_0)$.

Using 3 different interpolating operators, we measure their $ 3 \times 3 $ correlation matrix and obtain the eigenvalues $ A^{\pm} (t) $ with $ \pm $ parity, for 100 gauge configurations generated with Wilson gauge action at $ \beta = 6.1 $ on the $ 20^3 \times 40 $ lattice. For the lowest-lying $ J^P = 1/2^- $ state, its effective mass is almost identical to that of the KN s-wave, while for the lowest-lying $ J^P = 1/2^+ $ state, its effective mass is smaller than that of the KN p-wave, especially for the regime $ m_u < m_s $. By chiral extrapolation (linear in $m_\pi^2$) to $ m_\pi = 135 $ MeV, we obatin the masses of the lowest-lying states: $ m(1/2^-) = 1424(57) $ MeV and $ m(1/2^+) = 1562(121) $ MeV, in agreement with the masses of $ m_K + m_N \simeq 1430 $ MeV and $ \Theta^+(1540) $ respectively.

We calculate the full electroweak one-loop corrections to the decay of the CP-odd Higgs boson A^0 into scalar quarks in the minimal supersymmetric extension of the Standard Model (MSSM). Due to the complex structure of the electroweak sector a proper renormalization of many parameters in the on-shell renormalization scheme is necessary. For the decay into sbottom quarks, especially for large tanb, the corrections can be very large in the on-shell renormalization scheme, which makes the perturbation series unreliable. We solve this problem by an appropriate definition of the tree-level coupling in terms of running quark masses and running trilinear couplings A_q. We also discuss the decay of heavy scalar quarks into light scalar quarks and A^0. We find that the corrections are significant and therefore cannot be neglected.

We present a class of dark matter models, in which the dark matter particle is a feebly interacting massive particle (FIMP) produced via the decay of an electrically charged and/or colored parent particle. Given the feeble interaction, dark matter is produced via the freeze-in mechanism and the parent particle is long-lived. The latter leads to interesting collider signatures. We study current LHC constrains on our models arising from searches for heavy charged particles, disappearing tracks, displaced leptons and displaced vertices. We demonstrate not only that collider searches can be a powerful probe of the freeze-in dark matter models under consideration, but that an observation can lead as well to interesting insights on the reheating temperature and thus on the validity of certain baryogenesis models.

In this work the behavior of power corrections to Adler finction in operator product expansion (OPE) is studied, in particular the possible contribution of operator of dimension 2. The OPE terms of dimension 4 and 6 are taken into account. Various experimental data on reactions of $e^+e^-$-annihilation to pion channels ($\pi^+\pi^-$, $2\pi^+2\pi^-$, $\pi^+\pi^-2\pi^0$, $3\pi^+3\pi^-$, $2\pi^+2\pi^-2\pi^0$) are used. The high-precision fits of the experimental data are obtained and used. The method based on Borel transform of Adler function is applied. It is shown that the contribution of operator of dimension 2 is negative being compatible to zero at three standard deviations level. The strong (anti)corellation between short string and local gluon condensate is found.

We study the cross section for the photoproduction reaction gamma N -> h X in fixed-target scattering at COMPASS, where the hadron h is produced at large transverse momentum. We investigate the role played by higher-order QCD corrections to the cross section. In particular we address large logarithmic "threshold" corrections to the rapidity dependent partonic cross sections, which we resum to all orders at next-to-leading accuracy. In our comparison to the experimental data we find that the threshold contributions are large and improve the agreement between data and theoretical predictions significantly.

In this article, we study the two-body strong decays of the bottom mesons with the heavy meson effective theory in the leading order approximation, and obtain all the analytical expressions of the decay widths of the light pseudoscalar mesons transitions among the S-wave, P-wave and D-wave bottom mesons. As an application, we tentatively assign the bottom meson $B(5970)$ as the $2{\rm S}\,1^-$, $1{\rm D}\,1^-$ and $1{\rm D}\,3^-$ states, respectively, and calculate the decay widths of the $B_1(5721)$, $B_2(5747)$, $B_{s1}(5830)$, $B_{s2}(5840)$ and $B(5970)$, which can be confronted with the experimental data in the future.

The 2011 Les Houches workshop was the first to confront LHC data. In the two years since the previous workshop there have been significant advances in both soft and hard QCD, particularly in the areas of multi-leg NLO calculations, the inclusion of those NLO calculations into parton shower Monte Carlos, and the tuning of the non-perturbative parameters of those Monte Carlos. These proceedings describe the theoretical advances that have taken place, the impact of the early LHC data, and the areas for future development.

If the stability of the dark matter (DM) particle is due to an accidental symmetry, nothing prevents UV physics from destabilising it by inducing DM decays suppressed by powers of the UV scale. The seesaw physics, presumably at the origin of neutrino mass, could induce such a decay. We show that if the seesaw scale lies around the usual Weinberg operator scale, the induced DM decay could generically lead to neutrino lines whose intensity is of the order of the present sensitivity of neutrino telescopes. We illustrate this possibility with models in which the DM is made of the gauge boson(s) of an abelian or non-abelian gauge symmetry.

Color magnetic flux tubes appear in the color-flavor locked phase of high density QCD, which exhibits color superconductivity as well as superfluidity. They are non-Abelian superfluid vortices and are accompanied by orientational zero modes in the internal space associated with the color-flavor locked symmetry spontaneously broken in the presence of the vortex. We show that those zero modes are localized around the vortex in spite of the logarithmic divergence of its tension, and derive the low-energy effective theory of them on the world-sheet of the vortex-string.

On the other hand inequivalent representations (1,0) and (0,1) also correspond to particles with spin 1. It is natural to suppose that, along with the known vector particles, the new particles can exist. Evidence for the existence of these particles in nature is the presence of the axial-vector meson resonances with quantum numbers 1^{+-}. Other indications for their existence are discussed.

The recent measurement of a non-zero neutrino mixing angle $\theta_{13}$ requires a modification of the tri-bimaximal mixing pattern that predicts a zero value for it. We propose a new neutrino mixing pattern based on a spontaneously-broken $A_{4}$ flavor symmetry and a type-I seesaw mechanism. Our model allows for approximate tri-bimaximal mixing and non-zero $\theta_{13}$, and contains a natural way to implement low and high energy CP violation in neutrino oscillations, and leptogenesis with a renormalizable Lagrangian. Both normal and inverted mass hierarchies are permitted within $3\sigma$ experimental bounds, with the prediction of small (large) deviations from maximality in the atmospheric mixing angle for the normal (inverted) case. Interestingly, we show that the inverted case is excluded by the global analysis in $1\sigma$ experimental bounds, while the most recent MINOS data seem to favor the inverted case. Our model make predictions for the Dirac CP phase in the normal and inverted hierarchies, which can be tested in near-future neutrino oscillation experiments. Our model also predicts the effective mass $|m_{ee}|$ measurable in neutrinoless double beta decay to be in the range $0.04\lesssim |m_{ee}| \lesssim 0.15$ eV for the normal hierarchy and $0.06\lesssim |m_{ee}| \lesssim 0.11$ eV for the inverted hierarchy, both of which are within the sensitivity of the next generation experiments.

We present a general formalism based on the framework of non-commutative geometry, suitable to the study the standard model of electroweak interactions, as well as that of more general gauge theories. Left- and right-handed chiral fields are assigned to two different sheets of space-time (a discretized version of Kaluza-Klein theory). Scalar Higgs fields find themselves treated on the same footing as the gauge fields, resulting in spontaneous symmetry breaking in a natural and predictable way. We first apply the formalism to the Standard Model, where one can predict the Higgs mass and the top Yukawa coupling. We then study the left-right symmetric model, where we show that this framework imposes constraints on the type and coefficients of terms appearing in the Higgs potential.

In this paper, we propose a new framework for dark-matter physics. Rather than focus on one or more stable dark-matter particles, we instead consider a multi-component framework in which the dark matter of the universe comprises a vast ensemble of interacting fields with a variety of different masses, mixings, and abundances. Moreover, rather than impose stability for each field individually, we ensure the phenomenological viability of such a scenario by requiring that those states with larger masses and Standard-Model decay widths have correspondingly smaller relic abundances, and vice versa. In other words, dark-matter stability is not an absolute requirement in such a framework, but is balanced against abundance. This leads to a highly dynamical scenario in which cosmological quantities such as Omega_{CDM} experience non-trivial time-dependences beyond those associated with the expansion of the universe. Although it may seem difficult to arrange an ensemble of states which have the required decay widths and relic abundances, we present one particular example in which this balancing act occurs naturally: an infinite tower of Kaluza-Klein (KK) states living in the bulk of large extra spacetime dimensions. Remarkably, this remains true even if the stability of the KK tower itself is entirely unprotected. Thus theories with large extra dimensions --- and by extension, certain limits of string theory --- naturally give rise to dynamical dark matter. Such scenarios also generically give rise to a rich set of collider and astrophysical phenomena which transcend those usually associated with dark matter.

In this paper, we propose a new framework for dark-matter physics. Rather than focus on one or more stable dark-matter particles, we instead consider a multi-component framework in which the dark matter of the universe comprises a vast ensemble of interacting fields with a variety of different masses, mixings, and abundances. Moreover, rather than impose stability for each field individually, we ensure the phenomenological viability of such a scenario by requiring that those states with larger masses and Standard-Model decay widths have correspondingly smaller relic abundances, and vice versa. In other words, dark-matter stability is not an absolute requirement in such a framework, but is balanced against abundance. This leads to a highly dynamical scenario in which cosmological quantities such as Omega_{CDM} experience non-trivial time-dependences beyond those associated with the expansion of the universe.

Within the framework of the local hidden gauge approach, we have studied the near-threshold interaction of the $D^* \bar{D}^*$ channel with quantum numbers $I(J^{PC}) = 0(0^{++})$, $0(2^{++})$, $1(0^{++})$, and $1(2^{++})$, respectively. The contact interaction is taken into account alone, since it is expected to give the dominant contribution near the threshold. One pole, which is found in the case of the quantum numbers $I(J^{PC}) = 0(0^{++})$, could be associated to the $X(4014)$ recently observed by the Belle Collaboration. Thus, we suggest that the $X(4014)$ may be an $D^* \bar{D}^*$ molecular state with $I(J^{PC}) = 0(0^{++})$, and more precise information about $X(4014)$, such as resonance parameters and decay properties, could be useful to shed light on its structure.

We develop the method of calculation of the leading chiral (infrared) logarithms to an arbitrary loop order for various form factors of Nambu-Goldstone bosons. The method is illustrated on example of scalar and vector form factors in massless 4D O(N+1)/O(N) sigma-model. The analytical properties of the form factors are derived. The leading chiral (infrared) logarithms are summed up in the large N limit.

We study multi-photon effects in quantum electrodynamics in lepton photo-production on heavy nuclei and nuclear medium at high energies. We are interested in energy, charge density and nuclear geometry dependence of the cross sections. We use the impact parameter representation that allows us to reduce the problem of photo-production to the problem of propagation of electric dipoles in the nuclear Coulomb field. In the framework of the Glauber model we resum an infinite series of multiphoton amplitudes corresponding to multiple rescattering of the electric dipole on the nucleus. We find that unitarity effects arising due to multi-photon interactions are small and energy-independent for scattering on a single nucleus, whereas in the case of macroscopic nuclear medium they saturate the geometric limit of the total cross section. We discuss an analogy between nuclear medium and intense laser beams.

The quark gluon plasma which has been observed at RHIC is a strongly interacting system and has been called sQGP. This is a system at high temperatures and almost zero baryon chemical potential. A similar system with high chemical potential and almost zero temperature may exist in the core of compact stars. Most likely it is also a strongly interacting system. The strong interactions may be partly due to non-perturbative effects, which survive after the deconfinement transition and which can be related with the non-vanishing gluon condensates in the sQGP. In this work, starting from the QCD Lagrangian we perform a gluon field decomposition in low ("soft") and high ("hard") momentum components, we make a mean field approximation for the hard gluons and take the matrix elements of the soft gluon fields in the plasma. The latter are related to the condensates of dimension two and four. With these approximations we derive an analytical expression for the equation of state, which is compared to the MIT bag model one. The effect of the condensates is to soften the equation of state whereas the hard gluons significantly increase the energy density and the pressure.

We formulate the on-shell effective field theory (OSEFT) in an arbitrary frame and study its reparametrization invariance (RI), which ensures that it is respectful of Lorentz symmetry. In this formulation the OSEFT Lagrangian looks formally equivalent to the sum over light-like velocities of soft collinear effective field theory in the Abelian limit, differences remain in the scale of the gauge fields involved in the two effective theories. We then use the OSEFT Lagrangian expanded in powers of the on-shell energy to derive how the classical transport equations for charged massless fermions are corrected by quantum effects, as derived from quantum field theory. We provide a formulation in a full covariant way, and explain how the consistent form of the chiral anomaly equation can be recovered from our results. We also show how the side jump transformation of the distribution function associated with massless charged fermions can be derived from the RI transformation rules of the OSEFT quantum fields. Finally, we discuss differences in our results with others found in the literature.

We calculate the amplitudes involved in the heavy baryon nonleptonic decay $\Lambda_b \rar \Lambda J/\psi$ using perturbative QCD factorization theorem, which are expressed as convolutions of hard $b$ quark decay amplitudes with the $\Lambda_b$ baryon, $\Lambda$ baryon and $J/\psi$ meson distribution amplitudes. It is found that nonfactorizable contributions dominate over factorizable ones. Because of soft cancellation in pairs of nonfactorizable diagrams, the $\Lambda_b \rar \Lambda J/\psi$ decay is characterized by a large scale, such that perturbative QCD is applicable. Employing the distribution amplitudes determined in our previous works and from QCD sum rules, we derive the branching ratio $B(\Lambda_b \rar \Lambda J/\psi)=(1.7 \sim 5.3)\times 10^{-4}$ in agreement with data. We predict an asymmetry parameter $\alpha= -0.17 \sim -0.14$ associated with the anisotropic angular distribution of the $\Lambda$ baryons produced in polarized $\Lambda_b$ baryon decays.

We study the modeling of $t$-channel single top-quark production at Large Hadron Collider (LHC) energies. We compare predictions at next-to-next-to-leading order in a 5-flavor scheme to those of next-to-leading order in a 4-flavor scheme, finding the two schemes agree within a few percent in general for the shape of kinematic distributions of the top quark. The predictions in the 5-flavor scheme show strong stability for both normalization and distributions, and are superior to those of the 4-flavor scheme at comparable orders. We present comparisons of the predictions with LHC data. Our findings provide clear theoretical guidance for precision studies of single top-quark physics at the LHC.

We propose new textures for the fermion Yukawa matrices which are generalizations of the so-called Stech ansatz. We discuss how these textures can be realized in supersymmetric grand unified models with horizontal symmetry SU(3)_H among the fermion generations. In this framework the mass and mixing hierarchy of fermions (including neutrinos) can emerge in a natural way. We emphasize the central role played by the SU(3)_H adjoint Higgs field which reduces SU(3)_H to U(2)_H at the GUT scale. A complete SO(10)\times SU(3)_H model is presented in which the desired Yukawa textures can be obtained by symmetry reasons. The phenomenological implications of these textures are thoroughly investigated. Among various realistic possibilities for the Clebsch factors between the quark and lepton entries, we find three different solutions which provide excellent fits of the quark masses and CKM mixing angles. Interestingly, all these solutions predict the correct amount of CP violation via the CKM mechanism, and, in addition, lead to an appealing pattern of the neutrino masses and mixing angles. In particular, they all predict nearly maximal 23 mixing and small 12 mixing in the lepton sector, respectively in the range needed for the explanation of the atmospheric and solar neutrino anomaly.

We study the existence of fully-heavy hidden-flavor $bc\bar{b}\bar{c}$ tetraquark states with various $J^{PC}=0^{\pm+}, 0^{--},1^{\pm\pm}, 2^{++}$, by using the moment QCD sum rule method augmented by fundamental inequalities. Using the moment sum rule analyses, our calculation shows that the masses for the S-wave positive parity $bc\bar{b}\bar{c}$ tetraquark states are about $12.2-12.4$ GeV in both $[\mathbf{\bar{3}_c}]_{bc}\otimes[\mathbf{3_c}]_{\bar{b}\bar{c}}$ and $[\mathbf{6_c}]_{bc}\otimes[\mathbf{\bar{6}_c}]_{\bar{b}\bar{c}}$ color configuration channels. Except for two $0^{++}$ states, such results are below the thresholds $T_{\eta_c\eta_b}/T_{\Upsilon\psi}$ and $T_{B_cB_c}$, implying that these S-wave positive parity $bc\bar{b}\bar{c}$ tetraquark states are probably stable against the strong interaction. For the P-wave negative parity $bc\bar{b}\bar{c}$ tetraquarks, their masses in the $[\mathbf{\bar{3}_c}]_{bc}\otimes[\mathbf{3_c}]_{\bar{b}\bar{c}}$ channel are around $12.9-13.2$ GeV, while a bit higher in the $[\mathbf{6_c}]_{bc}\otimes[\mathbf{\bar{6}_c}]_{\bar{b}\bar{c}}$ channel. They can decay into the $c\bar c+b\bar b$ and $c\bar b+b\bar c$ final states via the spontaneous dissociation mechanism, including the $J/\psi\Upsilon$, $\eta_c\Upsilon$, $J/\psi\eta_b$, $B_c^+B_c^-$ channels.

They can decay into the $c\bar c+b\bar b$ and $c\bar b+b\bar c$ final states via the spontaneous dissociation mechanism, including the $J/\psi\Upsilon$, $\eta_c\Upsilon$, $J/\psi\eta_b$, $B_c^+B_c^-$ channels.

The inclusive transverse momentum and rapidity distributions for top quark production at the Fermilab Tevatron are presented both in order $\alpha_s^3$ in QCD and using the resummation of the leading soft gluon corrections in all orders of QCD perturbation theory. The resummed results are uniformly larger than the $O(\alpha_s^3)$ results for both distributions.

We present a novel perspective to characterize the chiral magnetic and related effects in terms of angular decomposed modes. We find that the vector current and the chirality density are connected through a surprisingly simple relation for all the modes and any mass, which defines the mode decomposed chiral magnetic effect in such a way free from the chiral chemical potential. The mode decomposed formulation is useful also to investigate properties of rotating fermions. For demonstration we give an intuitive account for a nonzero density emerging from a combination of rotation and magnetic field as well as an approach to the chiral vortical effect at finite density.

Right-handed sneutrinos are natural components of left-right symmetric supersymmetric models where the gauge sector is extended to include right-handed weak interactions. Unlike in other models where right-handed sneutrinos are gauge singlets, here the right sneutrino is part of a doublet and could be a dark matter candidate whose annihilation proceeds via gauge interactions. We investigate this possibility, and find that relic density, low-energy observable and direct supersymmetry search constraints can be satisfied when the lightest supersymmetric particle is a right-handed sneutrino. We introduce benchmarks for left-right supersymmetric realizations where either a sneutrino or a neutralino is the lightest superpartner. We then study the LHC signals arising through resonant right-handed slepton production via a $W_R$ gauge-boson exchange that lead to final states enriched in leptons, additionally containing a large amount of missing transverse momentum, and featuring a low jet multiplicity. We find that such a resonant production would boost the chances of discovering these weakly interacting supersymmetric particles for a mass range extending beyond 1 TeV already with a luminosity of 100 fb$^{-1}$. Finally, we compare sneutrino versus neutralino scenarios, and comment on differences with other sneutrino dark matter models.

To facilitate lattice QCD calculations of nucleon structute, a set of quasi-parton distributions were recently introduced. These quasi-PDFs were shown to reduce to standard PDFs when the nucleon is boosted to high energies, $P_z\rightarrow \infty$. Since taking such limit is not feasible in lattice simulations, it is essential to provide guidance for what values of $P_z$ the quasi-PDFs are good approximations of standard PDFs. Within the framework of the spectator diquark model, we evaluate both the up and down quarks' quasi-PDFs and standard PDFs for all leading-twist distributions (unpolarized distribution $f_1$, helicity distribution $g_1$, and transversity distribution $h_1$). We find that, for intermediate parton momentum fractions $x$, quasi-PDFs are good approximations to standard PDFs (within $20-30\%$) when $P_z\gtrsim 1.5-2$ GeV. On the other hand, for large $x\sim 1$ much larger $P_z > 4$ GeV is necessary to obtain a satisfactory agreement between the two sets. We further find that the Soffer positivity bound does not hold in general for quasi-PDFs.

Integration by parts reduction is a standard component of most modern multi-loop calculations in quantum field theory. We present a novel strategy constructed to overcome the limitations of currently available reduction programs based on Laporta's algorithm. The key idea is to construct algebraic identities from numerical samples obtained from reductions over finite fields. We expect the method to be highly amenable to parallelization, show a low memory footprint during the reduction step, and allow for significantly better run-times.

We point out that hard exclusive production of tensor mesons $f_2(1270)$ with helicity $\lambda=\pm 2$ is dominated by the gluon component in the meson wave function and can be used to determine gluon admixture in tensor mesons in a theoretically clean manner. We present a detailed analysis of the tensor meson distribution amplitudes and calculate the transition form factor $\gamma+\gamma^*\to f_2(1270)$ for one real and one virtual photon.
