We have constrained unparticle interactions with neutrinos and electrons using available data on neutrino-electron elastic scattering and the four CERN LEP experiments data on mono photon production. We have found that, for neutrino-electron elastic scattering, the MUNU experiment gives better constraints than previous reported limits in the region d>1.5. The results are compared with the current astrophysical limits, pointing out the cases where these limits may or may not apply. We also discuss the sensitivity of future experiments to unparticle physics. In particular, we show that the measurement of coherent reactor neutrino scattering off nuclei could provide a good sensitivity to the couplings of unparticle interaction with neutrinos and quarks. We also discuss the case of future neutrino-electron experiments as well as the International Linear Collider.

We use multi-component decaying dark matter (DM) scenario to explain the possible cosmic ray excesses in the positron fraction recently confirmed by AMS-02 and the total $e^+ +e^-$ flux observed by Fermi-LAT. In the two-component DM models, we find an interesting variation of the flavor structure along with the cutoff of the heavy DM. For the three-component DM case, we focus on a particular parameter range in which the best fits prefer to open only 2 DM decay channels with a third DM contributing nothing to the electron and positron spectra. We show that all models give the reasonable fits to both the AMS-02 positron fraction and the Fermi-LAT total $e^++e^-$ flux, which are also consistent with the measured diffuse $\gamma$-ray flux by Fermi-LAT.

Motivated by discrete flavour symmetry models, we analyse Spontaneous CP Violation (SCPV) for potentials involving three or six Higgs fields (both electroweak doublets and singlets) which fall into irreducible triplet representations of discrete symmetries belonging to the $\Delta(3n^2)$ and $\Delta(6n^2)$ series, including $A_4$, $S_4$, $\Delta(27)$ and $\Delta(54)$. For each case, we give the potential and find various global mimima for different regions of the parameter space of the potential. Using CP-odd basis Invariants that indicate the presence of Spontaneous CP Violation we separate the VEVs into those that do or do not violate CP. In cases where CP is preserved we reveal a CP symmetry of the potential that is preserved by those VEVs, otherwise we display a non-zero CP-odd Invariant. Finally we identify interesting cases where there is Spontaneous Geometrical CP Violation in which the VEVs have calculable phases.

We analyze the semileptonic (B_c -> B_u* l+ l-) decay in the frame work of the Standard Model. We calculate the (B_c) to (B_u*) transition form factors in QCD sum rules. Analytical expressions for the spectral densities and gluon condensates are presented. The branching ratio of the (B_c -> B_u* l+ l-) decay is calculated, and it is obtained that this decay can be detectable at forthcoming LHC machines.

An alternative model of the fragmentation of the Lund string, investigating the hypothesis of helix-like ordered gluon field, is compared with hadronic $Z^0$ data. A significant improvement in the description of various measured quantities is achieved. In particular, the existence of correlations between longitudinal and transverse components of hadron momenta (as suggested by the helix string model) seems to be supported by the data.

We extend chiral perturbation theory to study a meson gas out of thermal equilibrium. Assuming that the system is initially in equilibrium below the critical temperature and working within the Schwinger-Keldysh contour technique, we define consistently the time-dependent pion decay functions, the counterparts of the pion decay constants, and calculate them up to next to leading order. The link with curved space-time QFT allows to establish nonequilibrium renormalisation. The short-time behaviour and the applicability to a heavy-ion collision plasma are also discussed in this work.

We report the results of a new global QCD analysis, which includes deep-inelastic $e/\mu$ scattering data off proton and deuterium, as well as Drell-Yan lepton pair production in proton-proton and proton-deuterium collisions and $W^\pm/Z$ boson production data from $pp$ and $p \bar p$ collisions at the LHC and Tevatron. Nuclear effects in the deuteron are treated in terms of a nuclear convolution approach with bound off-shell nucleons within a weak binding approximation. The off-shell correction is controlled by a universal function of the Bjorken variable $x$ describing the modification of parton distributions in bound nucleons, which is determined in our analysis along with the parton distribution functions of the proton. A number of systematic studies are performed to estimate the uncertainties arising from the use of various deuterium datasets, from the modeling of higher twist contributions to the structure functions, from the treatment of target mass corrections, as well as from the nuclear corrections in the deuteron. We obtain predictions for the ratios $F_2^n/F_2^p$, and $d/u$, focusing on the region of large $x$. We also compare our results with the ones obtained by other QCD analyses, as well as with the recent data from the MARATHON experiment.

We present a systematic method for reducing an arbitrary one-loop N-point massless Feynman integral with generic 4-dimensional momenta to a set comprised of eight fundamental scalar integrals: six box integrals in D=6, a triangle integral in D=4, and a general two-point integral in D space time dimensions. All the divergences present in the original integral are contained in the general two-point integral and associated coefficients. The problem of vanishing of the kinematic determinants has been solved in an elegant and transparent manner. Being derived with no restrictions regarding the external momenta, the method is completely general and applicable for arbitrary kinematics. In particular, it applies to the integrals in which the set of external momenta contains subsets comprised of two or more collinear momenta, which are unavoidable when calculating one-loop contributions to the hard-scattering amplitude for exclusive hadronic processes at large momentum transfer in PQCD. The iterative structure makes it easy to implement the formalism in an algebraic computer program.

In an R-parity nonconserving supersymmetric theory, the lighter stop can dominantly decay into $b\mu$ and $b\tau$ if R-parity breaking has to explain the neutrino mass and mixing pattern suggested by the data on atmospheric muon neutrinos. This should give rise to $dilepton+dijet$ and $single-lepton+jets$, signals resembling those of the top quark at the Fermilab Tevatron. One can thus constrain the stop parameter space using the current top search data, and similarly look for the first signals of supersymmetry at the upgraded runs of the Tevatron.

The implications of chiral symmetry breaking and SU(3) symmetry breaking have been studied in the chiral constituent quark model ($\chi$CQM). The role of hidden strangeness component has been investigated for the scalar matrix elements of the nucleon with an emphasis on the meson-nucleon sigma terms. The $\chi$CQM is able to give a qualitative and quantitative description of the "quark sea" generation through chiral symmetry breaking. The significant contribution of the strangeness is consistent with the recent available experimental observations.

The constituent counting ruling (CCR) has been found to hold for numerous hard, exclusive processes. It predicts the differential cross section at high energies and fixed $\cos \theta_{c.m.}$ should follow $\frac{d \sigma}{dt} \sim \frac{1}{s^{n-2}}$, where $n$ is the minimal number of constituents involved in the reaction. Here we provide an in-depth analysis of the reaction $\gamma p \rightarrow \omega p$ at $\theta_{c.m.}\sim 90^\circ$ using CLAS data with an energy range of $s = 5 - 8$ GeV$^2$, where the CCR has been shown to work in other reactions. We argue for a stringent method to select data to test the CCR and utilize a Taylor-series expansion to take advantage of data from nearby angle bins in our analysis. Na\"{i}vely, this reaction would have $n=9$ (or $n=10$ if the photon is in a $q\bar{q}$ state) and we would expect a scaling of $\sim s^{-7}$ ($s^{-8}$). Instead, a scaling of $s^{-(9.08 \pm 0.11)}$ was observed. Explanations for this apparent failure of the na\"{i}ve CCR assumptions are examined.

In this article we unravel the role of matter effect in neutrino oscillation in the presence of lepton-flavor-conserving, non-universal non-standard interactions (NSI's) of the neutrino. Employing the Jacobi method, we derive approximate analytical expressions for the effective mass-squared differences and mixing angles in matter. It is shown that, within the effective mixing matrix, the Standard Model (SM) W-exchange interaction only affects $\theta_{12}$ and $\theta_{13}$, while the flavor-diagonal NSI's only affect $\theta_{23}$. The CP-violating phase $\delta$ remains unaffected. Using our simple and compact analytical approximation, we study the impact of the flavor-diagonal NSI's on the neutrino oscillation probabilities for various appearance and disappearance channels. At higher energies and longer baselines, it is found that the impact of the NSI's can be significant in the numu to numu channel, which can probed in future atmospheric neutrino experiments, if the NSI's are of the order of their current upper bounds. Our analysis also enables us to explore the possible degeneracy between the octant of $\theta_{23}$ and the sign of the NSI parameter for a given choice of mass hierarchy in a simple manner.

The Inert Doublet Model (IDM) is one of the simplest extensions of the Standard Model (SM), providing a dark matter candidate. It is a two Higgs doublet model with a discrete $Z_2$ symmetry, that prevents the scalars of the second doublet (inert scalars) from coupling to the SM fermions and makes the lightest of them stable. We study a large group of IDM scenarios, which are consistent with current constraints on direct detection, including the most recent bounds from the XENON1T experiment and relic density of dark matter, as well as with all collider and low-energy limits. We propose a set of benchmark points with different kinematic features, that promise detectable signals at future $e^+e^-$ colliders. Two inert scalar pair-production processes are considered, $e^+e^- \to H^+H^-$ and $e^+e^- \to AH$, followed by decays of $H^\pm$ and $A$ into final states which include the lightest and stable neutral scalar dark matter candidate $H$. Significance of the expected observations is studied for different benchmark models and different running scenarios, for centre-of-mass energies up to 3 TeV. Numerical results are presented for the signal signatures with two muons or an electron and a muon in the final state. For high mass scenarios, when the significance is too low for the leptonic signatures, the semi-leptonic signature can be used as the discovery channel.

The lightcone formalism including SU(3) breaking effects for the light pseudoscalar mesons is studied using soft-collinear effective theory (SCET), where the conformal symmetries needed for the expansion can be clearly implemented. The lightcone distribution amplitudes (LCDAs) are well-defined at each order in the SCET power counting, lambda. Relations between the LCDAs are reproduced using the SCET formalism. Treating the SU(3) breaking perturbatively, the leading breaking effects can be described in a simple manner. As a result, a new relationship among the LCDAs for the light mesons pi, K, and eta is developed, valid to leading order in the SU(3) breaking.

The status of solar neutrino experiments and their implications for both nonstandard astrophysics ({\it e.g.,} cool sun models) and nonstandard neutrino properties ({\it e.g.,} MSW conversions) are discussed. Assuming that all of the experiments are correct, the relative rates observed by Kamiokande and Homestake are hard to account for by a purely astrophysical solution, while MSW conversions can describe all of the data. Assuming the standard solar model, there are two allowed regions for MSW conversions into $\nu_\mu$ or $\nu_\tau$, with the non-adiabatic solution giving a better fit than the large angle. For conversions into sterile neutrinos there is only a nonadiabatic solution. Allowing both MSW conversions and nonstandard astrophysics, the data simultaneously determine the temperature of the core of the sun to within five percent, consistent with the standard solar model prediction. The implications of the atmospheric $\nu_\mu/\nu_e$ ratio and of a hot component of the dark matter are briefly discussed, and the expectations of theoretical models motivated by grand unification are summarized.

In this note we demonstrate the use of top polarization in the study of $t \bar t$ resonances at the LHC, in the possible case where the dynamics implies a non-zero top polarization. As a probe of top polarization we construct an asymmetry in the decay-lepton azimuthal angle distribution (corresponding to the sign of $\cos\phi_\ell$) in the laboratory. The asymmetry is non-vanishing even for a symmetric collider like the LHC, where a positive $z$ axis is not uniquely defined. The angular distribution of the leptons has the advantage of being a faithful top-spin analyzer, unaffected by possible anomalous $tbW$ couplings, to linear order. We study, for purposes of demonstration, the case of a $Z'$ as might exist in the little Higgs models. We identify kinematic cuts which ensure that our asymmetry reflects the polarization in sign and magnitude. We investigate possibilities at the LHC with two energy options: $\sqrt{s} = 14$ TeV and $\sqrt{s} = 7$ TeV, as well as at the Tevatron. At the LHC the model predicts net top quark polarization of the order of a few per cent for $M_{Z'} \simeq 1200 $ GeV, being as high as $10 %$ for a smaller mass of the $Z'$ of $700$ GeV and for the largest allowed coupling in the model, the values being higher for the $7$ TeV option. These polarizations translate to a deviation from the standard-model value of azimuthal asymmetry of up to about $4%$ ($7%$) for $14$ ($7$) TeV LHC, whereas for the Tevatron, values as high as $12%$ are attained. For the $14$ TeV LHC with an integrated luminosity of 10 fb$^{-1}$, these numbers translate into a $3 \sigma$ sensitivity over a large part of the range $500 \lesssim M_{Z'} \lesssim 1500 $ GeV.

We present the analytical expressions for the next-to-leading order corrections to the partial decay width $t(\uparrow) \rightarrow bW^+$, followed by $b\rightarrow H_bX$, for nonzero b-quark mass ($m_b\neq 0$) in the fixed-flavor-number scheme (FFNs). To make the predictions for the energy distribution of outgoing hadrons $H_b$, as a function of the normalized $H_b$-energy fraction $x_H$, we apply the general-mass variable-flavor-number scheme (GM-VFNs) in a specific helicity coordinate system where the polarization of top quark is evaluated relative to the b-quark momentum. We also study the effects of gluon fragmentation and finite hadron mass on the hadron energy spectrum so that hadron masses are responsible for the low-$x_H$ threshold. In order to describe both the b-quark and the gluon hadronizations in top decays we apply realistic and nonperturbative fragmentation functions extracted through a global fit to $e^+e^-$ annihilation data from CERN LEP1 and SLAC SLC by relying on their universality and scaling violations.

Relations among the baryon magnetic and transition magnetic moments are derived in the $1/N_c$ expansion. Relations which hold to ALL ORDERS in $SU(3)$ breaking and to leading and first subleading orders in the $1/N_c$ expansion are obtained. Additional relations are found which are valid up to $SU(3)$ breaking at first subleading order in the $1/N_c$ expansion. The experimental accuracy of these relations fits the pattern predicted by the $1/N_c$ expansion. The predictions of the $1/N_c$ expansion are compared in detail with those of the non-relativistic quark model. The $1/N_c$ expansion explains why certain quark model relations work to greater accuracy than others.

We review the current situation of the pattern of chiral symmetry restoration. In particular, we analyze partner degeneration for $O(4)$ and $U(1)_A$ symmetries within the context of Ward Identities and Effective Theories. The application of Ward Identities to the thermal scaling of screening masses is also discussed. We present relevant observables for which an Effective Theory description in terms of Chiral Perturbation Theory and its unitarized extension are compatible with lattice data even around the transition region. We pay special attention to the role of strangeness in this context.

We study the effects of non-commutative QED (NCQED) in fermion pair production, $\gamma + \gamma \to f + \bar{f}$ and Compton scattering, $e + \gamma \to e + \gamma$. Non-commutative geometries appear naturally in the context of string/M-theory and gives rise to 3- and 4-point photon vertices and to momentum dependent phase factors in QED vertices which will have observable effects in high energy collisions. We consider $e^+ e^-$ colliders with energies appropriate to the TeV Linear Collider proposals and the multi-TeV CLIC project operating in $\gamma \gamma$ and $e\gamma$ modes. Non-commutative scales roughly equal to the center of mass energy of the $e^+e^-$ collider can be probed, with the exact value depending on the model parameters and experimental factors. However, we found that the Compton process is sensitive to $\Lambda_{NC}$ values roughly twice as large as those accessible to the pair production process.

In cosmological first-order phase transitions (PT) with relativistic bubble walls, high-energy shells of particles generically form on the inner and outer sides of the walls. Shells from different bubbles can then collide with energies much larger than the PT or inflation scales, and with sizeable rates, realising a `bubbletron'. As an application, we calculate the maximal dark matter mass $M_{DM}$ that can be produced from shell collisions in a U(1) gauge PT, for scales of the PT $v_\varphi$ from MeV to $10^{16}$ GeV. We find for example $M_{DM} \sim 10^6/10^{11}/10^{15}$ GeV for $v_\varphi \sim 10^{-2}/10^3/10^8$ GeV. The gravity wave signal sourced at the PT then links Pulsar Timing Arrays with the PeV scale, LISA with the ZeV one, and the Einstein Telescope with grand unification.

It is possible that the standard model (SM) is replaced around some transition energy $\E_{tr}$ by a new, possibly Higgsless, ``flavor gauge theory'' such that the Yukawa (running) parameters of SM at $E \sim \E_{tr}$ show up an (approximate) flavor democracy (FD). We investigate the latter possibility by studying the renormalization group equations for the Yukawa couplings of SM with one and two Higgs doublets, by evolving them from given physical values at low energies ($E \simeq 1 GeV$) to $\E_{tr}$ ($ \sim \E_{pole}$) and comparing the resulting fermion masses and CKM matrix elements at $E \simeq \E_{tr}$ for various $m_t^{phy}$ and ratios $v_u/v_d$ of vacuum expectation values. We find that the minimal SM and the closely related SM with two Higgs doublets (type I) show increasing deviation from FD when energy is increased, but that SM with two Higgs doublets (type II) clearly tends to FD with increasing energy - in both the quark and the leptonic sector (q-q and l-l FD). Furthermore, we find within the type II model that, for $\E_{pole} \ll \E_{Planck}$, $m_t^{phy}$ can be less than $200 GeV$ in most cases of chosen $v_u/v_d$. Under the assumption that also the corresponding Yukawa couplings in the quark and the leptonic sector at $E \simeq \E_{tr}$ are equal (l-q FD), we derive estimates of bounds on masses of top quark and tau-neutrino, which are compatible with experimental bounds.

Furthermore, we find within the type II model that, for $\E_{pole} \ll \E_{Planck}$, $m_t^{phy}$ can be less than $200 GeV$ in most cases of chosen $v_u/v_d$. Under the assumption that also the corresponding Yukawa couplings in the quark and the leptonic sector at $E \simeq \E_{tr}$ are equal (l-q FD), we derive estimates of bounds on masses of top quark and tau-neutrino, which are compatible with experimental bounds.

Diboson processes are one of the most accessible and stringent probes of the Standard Model's electroweak gauge structure at the LHC. They will be probed at the percent level at the high-luminosity LHC, challenging current theory predictions. We present transverse momentum resummed calculations at N3LL+NNLO for the processes $ZZ$, $WZ$, $WH$ and $ZH$, compare our predictions with most recent LHC data and present predictions at 13.6 TeV including theory uncertainty estimates. For $W^+W^-$ production we further present jet-veto resummed results at N3LLp+NNLO. Our calculations will be made publicly available in the upcoming MCFM release and allow future analyses to take advantage of improved predictions.

Diffractive parton distributions of the proton are determined from fits to diffractive data from HERA. In addition to the twist--2 contribution, the twist--4 contribution from longitudinally polarised virtual photons is considered, which is important in the region of small diffractive masses. A new prediction for the longitudinal diffractive structure function is presented which differs significantly from that obtained in the pure twist--2 analyses.

We investigate the baseline range in which the $\theta_{23}$ degeneracy in neutrino oscillation probabilities is absent for fixed values of $\theta_{13}$ and CP violation phase $\delta_{\rm CP}$. We begin by studying sensitivities of neutrino oscillation probabilities to $\theta_{13}$, $\theta_{23}$ and $\delta_{\rm CP}$ for very-long-baseline neutrino oscillations. We show contour graphs of the muon-neutrino survival probability $P(\nu_{\mu}\to \nu_{\mu})$ and the appearance probability $P(\nu_e\to \nu_{\mu})$ on the $\cos 2\theta_{23}-\sin 2\theta_{13}$ plane for baseline lengths $L=1000, 5000, \ 10000$, and 12000 km. For each baseline length, it is found that $P(\nu_{\mu}\to \nu_{\mu})$ is more sensitive to $\sin 2\theta_{13}$ at energies around its local maximum while it is more sensitive to $\cos 2\theta_{23}$ at energies around its local minimum. On the other hand, the appearance probability $P(\nu_e\to \nu_{\mu})$ is sensitive to $\sin2\theta_{13}$ and $\cos2\theta_{23}$ only near its local maximum. We observe that the $\theta_{23}$ degeneracy in $P(\nu_{\mu}\to \nu_{\mu})$ is absent at energies around the local maximum of this probability, provided $\theta_{13}$ is sufficiently large. The $\theta_{23}$ degeneracy is also absent in general near the local maximum of $P(\nu_e\to \nu_{\mu})$. Using analytic approximations for neutrino oscillation probabilities, we demonstrate that the above observations for $L=1000, 5000, 10000, {\rm and} 12000$ km are in fact valid for all distances. The implications of these results on probing the octant of $\theta_{23}$ are discussed in details.

We show that respecting the underlying Lorentz structure in the parton model has very strong consequences. Failure to insist on the correct Lorentz covariance is responsible for the existence of contradictory results in the literature for the polarized structure function g_2(x), whereas with the correct imposition we are able to derive the Wandzura-Wilczek relation for g_2(x) and the target-mass corrections for polarized deep inelastic scattering without recourse to the operator product expansion. We comment briefly on the problem of threshold behaviour in the presence of target-mass corrections. Careful attention to the Lorentz structure has also profound implications for the structure of the transverse momentum dependent parton densities often used in parton model treatments of hadron production, allowing the k_T dependence to be derived explicitly. It also leads to stronger positivity and Soffer-type bounds than usually utilized for the collinear densities.

We discuss the equivalence between light-front time-ordered-perturbation theory and covariant quantum field theory in light-front quantization, in the case of quantum electrodynamics at one-loop level. In particular, we review the one-loop calculation of the vertex correction, fermion self-energy and vacuum polarization. We apply the procedure of integration by residue over the light-front energy in the loop to show how the perturbative expansion in covariant terms can be reduced to a sum of propagating and instantaneous diagrams of light-front time-ordered perturbation theory. The detailed proof of equivalence between the two formulations of the theory resolves the controversial question on which form should be used for the gauge-field propagator in the light-cone gauge in the covariant approach.

Simplest Little Higgs Revisited: Hidden Mass Relation, Unitarity and Naturalness

We analyze the scalar potential of the Simplest Little Higgs (SLH) model in an approach consistent with the spirit of continuum effective field theory (CEFT). By requiring correct electroweak symmetry breaking (EWSB) with the $125\,\text{GeV}$ Higgs boson, we are able to derive a relation between the pseudo-axion mass $m_\eta$ and the heavy top mass $m_T$, which serves as a crucial test of the SLH mechanism. By requiring $m_\eta^2>0$ an upper bound on $m_T$ can be obtained for any fixed SLH global symmetry breaking scale $f$. We also point out that an absolute upper bound on $f$ can be obtained by imposing partial wave unitarity constraint, which in turn leads to absolute upper bounds of $m_T\lesssim 19\,\text{TeV}, m_\eta\lesssim 1.5\,\text{TeV}$ and $m_{Z'}\lesssim 48\,\text{TeV}$. We present the allowed region in the three-dimensional parameter space characterized by $f,t_\beta,m_T$, taking into account the requirement of valid EWSB and the constraint from perturbative unitarity. We also propose a strategy of analyzing the fine-tuning problem consistent with the spirit of CEFT and apply it to the SLH. We suggest that the scalar potential and fine-tuning analysis strategies adopted here should also be applicable to a wide class of Little Higgs and Twin Higgs models, which may reveal interesting relations as crucial tests of the related EWSB mechanism and provide a new perspective on assessing their degree of fine-tuning.

We present a new parton model approach for nuclear collisions at RHIC energies (and beyond). It is a selfconsistent treatment, using the same formalism for calculating cross sections like the total and the inelastic one and, on the other hand, particle production. Actually, the latter one is based on an expression for the total cross section, expanded in terms of cut Feynman diagrams. Dominant diagrams are assumed to be composed of parton ladders between any pair of nucleons, with ordered virtualities from both ends of the ladder.

The standard formulation of parton physics involves light-cone correlations of quark and gluon fields in a hadron, which leads to a widespread impression that it can only be studied through real-time Hamiltonian dynamics or light-front quantization, which are challenged by non-perturbative computations with a pertinent regulator for light-cone/rapidity divergences (or zero modes). As such, standard lattice QCD studies have been limited to indirect parton observables such as first few moments and short-distance correlations, which do not provide the $x$-distributions without solving the model-dependent inverse problem. Here I describe an alternative formulation of partons in terms of equal-time (or Euclidean) correlators, which allows to compute precision-controlled $x$-distribution through lattice QCD simulations. This approach is in accord with Weinberg's pioneering idea of effective field theory as well as Wilson's renormalization group, in which the large hadron momentum serves as a natural cut-off for light-cone/rapidity divergences and can ultimately be eliminated through a method like the ``perfect action'' program in lattice QCD.

The details of the minimal cosmological standard model (MCSM) proposed in Ref.~\cite{Barenboim:2024akt} are discussed. The model is based on the scale-symmetry and the global Peccei-Quinn(PQ) symmetry with a key assumption that the latter is broken only in the gravity sector in a scale-invariant manner. We show that the model provides a quite simple unified framework for the unknown history of the universe from inflation to the epoch of big-bang nucleosynthesis, simultaneously addressing key puzzles of high energy theory and cosmology: (i) the origin of scales, (ii) primordial inflation, (iii) matter-antimatter asymmetry, (iv) tiny neutrino masses, (v) dark matter, and (vi) the strong CP-problem. Scale symmetry can be exact, and the Planck scale is dynamically generated. The presence of Gauss-Bonnet term may safely retain dangerous non-perturbative symmetry-breaking effects negligible, allowing a large-field trans-Planckian inflation along the PQ-field. Iso-curvature perturbations of axi-majorons are suppressed. A sizable amount of PQ-number asymmetry is generated at the end of inflation, and conserved afterwards. Domain wall problem is absent due to the non-restoration of the symmetry and the non-zero PQ-number asymmetry. Baryogenesis can be realized by either the transfer of the PQ-number asymmetry through the seesaw sector, or by resonant leptogenesis. Dark matter is purely cold axi-majorons from the mis-alignment contribution with the symmetry-breaking scale of $\mathcal{O}(10^{12}) {\rm GeV}$. Hot axi-majorons from the decay of the inflaton become a natural source for a sizable amount of dark radiation. Inflationary gravitational waves have information about the masse parameters of the lightest left-handed and right-handed neutrinos, thanks to the presence of an early matter-domination era driven by the long-lived lightest right-handed neutrino species.

We present a study of neutrino/antineutrino induced charged and neutral current single pion production off the nucleon. For this, we have considered $P_{33}(1232)$ resonance, non-resonant background terms, other higher resonances like $P_{11}(1440)$, $S_{11}(1535)$, $D_{13}(1520)$, $S_{11}(1650)$ and $P_{13}(1720)$. For the non-resonant background terms a microscopic approach based on SU(2) non-linear sigma model has been used. The vector form factors for the resonances are obtained by using the relationship between the electromagnetic resonance form factors and helicity amplitudes provided by MAID. Axial coupling $C_5^{A}(0)$ in the case of $P_{33}(1232)$ resonance is obtained by fitting the ANL and BNL $\nu$-deuteron reanalyzed scattering data.

We present a study of neutrino/antineutrino induced charged and neutral current single pion production off the nucleon. For this, we have considered $P_{33}(1232)$ resonance, non-resonant background terms, other higher resonances like $P_{11}(1440)$, $S_{11}(1535)$, $D_{13}(1520)$, $S_{11}(1650)$ and $P_{13}(1720)$. For the non-resonant background terms a microscopic approach based on SU(2) non-linear sigma model has been used. The vector form factors for the resonances are obtained by using the relationship between the electromagnetic resonance form factors and helicity amplitudes provided by MAID. Axial coupling $C_5^{A}(0)$ in the case of $P_{33}(1232)$ resonance is obtained by fitting the ANL and BNL $\nu$-deuteron reanalyzed scattering data.

We present a detailed study of the electric dipole moment of the neutron induced by a vacuum theta angle within the framework of QCD sum rules. At next-to-next-to leading order in the operator product expansion, we find the result d_n(\theta) = 2.4 x 10^{-16} \theta e cm, to approximately 40% precision. With the current experimental bound this translates into a limit on the theta parameter of |\theta| < 3 x 10^{-10}. We compare this result with the long-standing estimates obtained within chiral perturbation theory, and observe a numerical similarity, but also significant differences in the source of the dominant contribution.

We consider the role of Lorentz symmetry in noncommutative field theory. We find that a Lorentz-violating standard-model extension involving ordinary fields is general enough to include any realisitc noncommutative field theory as a subset. This leads to various theoretical consequences, as well as bounds from existing experiments at the level of (10 TeV)$^{-2}$ on the scale of the noncommutativity parameter.

We study the decays of the lightest Higgs boson within the exceptional supersymmetric (SUSY) standard model (E6SSM). The E6SSM predicts three families of Higgs-like doublets plus three SM singlets that carry U(1)_{N} charges. One family of Higgs-like doublets and one SM singlet develop vacuum expectation values. The fermionic partners of other Higgs-like fields and SM singlets form inert neutralino and chargino states. Two lightest inert neutralinos tend to be the lightest and next-to-lightest SUSY particles (LSP and NLSP). The considered model can account for the dark matter relic abundance if the lightest inert neutralino has mass close to half the Z mass. In this case the usual SM-like Higgs boson decays more than 95% of the time into either LSPs or NLSPs. As a result the decays of the lightest Higgs boson into l^{+} l^{-} + X might play an essential role in the Higgs searches. This scenario also predicts other light inert chargino and neutralino states below 200 GeV and large LSP direct detection cross-sections which is on the edge of observability of XENON100.

This process has all the features of the related and well investigated process ${\bar B} \to {\bar K}^*(890) \, \ell^+ \, \ell^-$, with theoretically comparable branching ratios. The polarised differential decay rates as well as the single and double polarisation asymmetries are worked out, where the sensitivity of these to possible right-handed couplings for the related $b \to s$ radiative decay (and other generic BSM parameters) are also investigated.

If new physics (e.g. SUSY) does not show up as direct evidence at the LHC, it could still be observable in FCNC processes involving the $t$-quark. We take a close look at the process $t\to c + h/Z$ and show that its branching ratio in the Standard Model is subject to three mechanisms of suppression. To obtain an observable signal, one needs to evade all these mechanisms in a theory beyond the Standard Model. We show that a theory like the cMSSM cannot provide a big enough enhancement. However, in a framework like $R$-parity-violating SUSY, observable signals are a distinct possibility.

We investigate the Standard Model in the nearly conformal limit, in which conformal symmetry is broken only by the dilatation anomaly, through a hierarchy of anomalous Ward identities for the divergence of its dilatation current. In this approximation, the identities allow to extract the coupling of the dilaton to the trace anomaly, which we compute up to the quartic order in the conformal breaking scale. Our approach can be easily extended to discuss the anomaly contributions to the dilaton effective action to an arbitrarily high order. They allow to make a distinction between the Higgs and a dilaton at a phenomenological level.

We report a new solution to explain the observed deficit of the solar neutrino flux by Homestake, Kamiokande II and III, GALLEX and SAGE experiments. We use the matter mixing and the helicity oscillation in the twisting magnetic fields in the sun. Our model predicts the short (seasonal) and long (11 years) time variations of the solar neutrino flux. Three kinds of data observed by Homestake, Kamiokande, GALLEX and SAGE detectors are reproduced well if the mixing angle and the squared mass difference are in the small area around $\sin^2 2\theta \simeq 0.01$ and $\Delta m^2\simeq 1.3\times 10^{-8}{\rm eV}^2$.

We calculate the conductivity matrix of a weakly coupled quark-gluon plasma at the leading-log order. By setting all quark chemical potentials to be identical, the diagonal conductivities become degenerate and positive, while the off-diagonal ones become degenerate but negative (or zero when the chemical potential vanishes). This means a potential gradient of a certain fermion flavor can drive backward currents of other flavors. A simple explanation is provided for this seemingly counter intuitive phenomenon. It is speculated that this phenomenon is generic and most easily measured in cold atom experiments.

We study deviations from tri-bimaximality (TBM) and quark-lepton complementarity (QLC) in a model independent way. The current neutrino experimental data is well approximated by tri-bimaximal generation mixing but the QLC relations are not satisfied with each data of 1$\sigma$ level. This means that there exist deviations from the complementarity. The same fact for the TBM might be checked in the future neutrino experiments. We discuss such deviations from the TBM and QLC, simultaneously. A new ratio between the deviations is introduced, and some interesting points are presented. We also show predicted correlations among leptonic mixing angles at the points.

Motivated by the recent resurrection of the evidence for an eV scale sterile neutrino from the MiniBooNE experiment, we revisit one of the most minimal seesaw model known as the minimal extended seesaw that gives rise to a $3+1$ light neutrino mass matrix. We consider the presence of $A_4$ flavour symmetry which plays a non-trivial role in generating the structure of the neutrino mass matrix. Considering a diagonal charged lepton mass matrix and generic vacuum alignments of $A_4$ triplet flavons, we classify the resulting mass matrices based on their textures. Keeping aside the disallowed texture zeros based on earlier studies of $3+1$ neutrino textures, we categorise the remaining ones based on texture zeros, $\mu-\tau$ symmetry in the $3\times3$ block and hybrid textures. After pointing out the origin of such $3+1$ neutrino textures to $A_4$ vacuum alignments, we use the latest $3+1$ neutrino oscillation data and numerically analyse the texture zeros and $\mu-\tau$ symmetric cases. We find that a few of them are allowed from each category predicting interesting correlations between neutrino parameters. We also find that all of these allowed cases prefer normal hierarchical pattern of light neutrino masses over inverted hierarchy.

We discuss the cases of complex, real and pseudo-real representations, i.e. with global symmetry and breaking patterns $\text{SU}(n)\times\text{SU}(n)/\text{SU}(n)$ (extending the QCD case), $\text{SU}(2n)/\text{SO}(2n)$, and $\text{SU}(2n)/\text{Sp}(2n)$. In case of the one-particle-irreducible part, we obtain analytical expressions in terms of 10 six-meson subamplitudes based on the flavor and group structures. We extend on our previous results obtained within the framework of the $\text{O}(N+1)/\text{O}(N)$ non-linear sigma model, with $N$ being the number of meson flavors. This work allows for studying a number of properties of six-particle amplitudes at one-loop level.

Based on available data for mesonic resonances of light, medium and heavy flavors, we have performed a global analysis to construct the corresponding linear Regge trajectories. These have been supplemented by results from various phenomenological models presented in the literature. A satisfactory formula is found for the dependence of the intercept and the slope on quark masses. We find reasonable agreement with data on production of charmed hadrons through exchange of our charmed trajectories in the space-like region. When applied to mesons containing the top quark, our results suggest the impossibility of their formation as evidenced by other independent analyses.

We leverage representation learning and the inductive bias in neural-net-based Standard Model jet classification tasks, to detect non-QCD signal jets. In establishing the framework for classification-based anomaly detection in jet physics, we demonstrate that, with a \emph{well-calibrated} and \emph{powerful enough feature extractor}, a well-trained \emph{mass-decorrelated} supervised Standard Model neural jet classifier can serve as a strong generic anti-QCD jet tagger for effectively reducing the QCD background. Imposing \emph{data-augmented} mass-invariance (and thus decoupling the dominant factor) not only facilitates background estimation, but also induces more substructure-aware representation learning. We are able to reach excellent tagging efficiencies for all the test signals considered. In the best case, we reach a background rejection rate of 51 and a significance improvement factor of 3.6 at 50 \% signal acceptance, with the jet mass decorrelated. This study indicates that supervised Standard Model jet classifiers have great potential in general new physics searches.

Models in which the space-time metric $g_{\mu\nu}$ is not symmetric, $i.e.$ $g_{\mu\nu} \ne g_{\nu\mu}$ may make predictions in scattering experiments, for example in a future $e^+e^-$ linear collider, similar to those from noncommutative field theory. We compute the differential cross sections for pair annihilation, Bhabha and M$\o$ller scattering and find that both nonsymmetric gravity theory(NGT) and noncommutative field theory predict a similar dependence of the differential cross section on the azimuthal angle in agreement with all known data, however in NGT Lorentz violation need not be as severe. Astrophysical and cosmological tests may prove very useful in distinguishing these two theories.

Exclusive $\pi^0$ electroproduction from nucleons is suggested for extracting the tensor charge and other quantities related to transversity from experimental data. This process isolates C-parity odd and chiral odd combinations of t-channel exchange quantum numbers. In a hadronic picture it connects the meson production amplitudes to C-odd Regge exchanges with final state interactions. In a description based on partonic degrees of freedom, the helicity structure for this C-odd process relates to the quark helicity flip, or chiral odd generalized parton distributions.

Using ideas underlying the flavour-blind "Nijmegen Unitarised Meson Model" we try to understand on the basis of a system of Schroedinger equations with one meson-meson and one (spinless) quark-antiquark channel coupled by a simple delta-shell transition potential the formation of (e.g. scalar) meson-meson scattering singularities in the complex momentum and energy plane. Surprisingly we are able to describe without direct meson-meson interaction and without any need for glueballs the whole known scalar meson spectrum. "Light" scalar mesons (e.g. f0(600), kappa(800), f0(980), a0(985), D*0(2290), ...) are identified to belong to the spectrum of the transition potential, while "heavy" scalars (e.g. f0(1370), K*0(1430), f0(1500), f0(1710), a0(1450), D*0(2621) (?), D*0(2825) (?), D*sJ(2928) (?), ...) are related to the confinement spectrum. Due to the particular value of the charm-strange reduced quark mass level-(anti)crossing in the complex momentum plane occurs which relates the BABAR state Ds(2317) to the bare groundstate of the confinement spectrum, while the respective groundstate of the transition potential ends up as D*sJ(2782) (?). We conclude with a short comment on (our) recent progress in the consistent quantum field theoretical effective description of resonances within a Lagrangian framework.

From the fit of the data we obtain the precise determination $\sigma_{f,235} = ( 6.33 \pm 0.08 ) \times 10^{-43} \, \text{cm}^2 / \text{fission}$ of the $^{235}\text{U}$ cross section per fission, which is more precise than the calculated value and differs from it by $2.2\sigma$. The cross sections per fission of the other fluxes have large uncertainties and in practice their values are undetermined by the fit. We conclude that it is very likely that at least the calculation of the $^{235}\text{U}$ flux must be revised.

A jet algorithm of this type was initially proposed by Georgi and subsequently further developed into the class of "$J_{E_T}$ algorithms". Our calculation establishes the infrared safety of the algorithms at this perturbative order. We derive analytical results for the relevant partonic cross sections. We discuss similarities and differences with respect to jets defined by cone or (anti-)$k_t$ algorithms and present numerical results for the Tevatron and the LHC.

An attempt is made to present some experimental predictions of the Randall-Sundrum model, where compactification radius of the extra dimension is stabilized by the radion, which is a scalar field lighter than the graviton Kaluza-Klein states. We calculate the conversion cross-sections of the photons into the radions in the external electromagnetic fields, namely, in the static fields and in a periodic field of the wave guide. Numerical evaluations of the total cross-sections are also given. Our result shows that the conversion cross-section in the static electric field is quite small. But, in the static magnetic and periodic fields, the radion productions are much enhanced.

We work with four non-zero CPT-violating parameters that allow for resonant enhancements in neutrino-antineutrino oscillation phenomena in vacuo which are suitably described in terms of charge conjugation eigenstates of the system. We study the relation between the flavor, charge conjugation and mass eigenbasis of neutrino-antineutrino oscillations and examine the interplay between the available CPT-violating parameter space and possible resonance structures.

We consider the extension of the Standard Model (SM) with an inert Higgs doublet that also contains two or three sets of $SU(2)_L$ triplet fermions with hypercharge zero and analyze the stability of electroweak vacuum for the scenarios. The model represents a Type-III inverse seesaw mechanism for neutrino mass generation with a Dark matter candidate.An effective potential approach calculation with two-loop beta function have been carried out in deciding the fate of the electroweak vacuum. Weak gauge coupling $g_2$ shows a different behaviour as compared to the Standard Model. The modified running of $g_2$, along with the Higgs quartic coupling and Type-III Yukawa couplings become crucial in determining the stability of electroweak vacuum. The interplay between two and three generations of such triplet fermions reveals that extensions with two generations is favoured if we aspire for Planck scale stability. Bounds on the Higgs quartic couplings, Type-III Yukawa and number of triplet fermion generations are drawn for different mass scale of Type-III fermions. The phenomenologies of inert doublet and Type-III fermions at the LHC and other experiments are commented upon.

We compute the three-loop leading-colour corrections to the Yang-Mills Regge trajectory and gluon impact factor. Conjecturing that, in analogy with $\mathcal{N}=4$ super Yang-Mills (SYM), in a suitable scheme $N_c$-subleading terms are absent from the three-loop Regge trajectory, we understand our result as the first computation of the pure gauge, or $n_f = 0$, part of the QCD three-loop Regge trajectory. The results are presented both for the bare and renormalised amplitudes and are consistent with predictions from infrared factorisation along with reproducing known results in planar $\mathcal{N}=4$ SYM through a maximal weight truncation. We also include the dependence on a Regge factorisation scale to facilitate future applications in BFKL theory at next-to-next-to leading logarithmic accuracy.

We analyze the potentiality of the new generation of $e^+e^-$ linear colliders to search for large extra dimensions via the production of fermion pairs in association with Kaluza-Klein gravitons (G), i.e. $e^+e^- \leftarrow f\bar{f}G$. This process leads to a final state exhibiting a significant amount of missing energy in addition to acoplanar lepton or jet pairs. We study in detail this reaction using full tree level contibutions due to the graviton emission and the standard model backgrounds. After choosing the cuts to enhance the signal, we show that a linear collider with a center-of-mass energy of 500 GeV will be able to probe quantum gravity scales from 0.96(0.86) up to 4.1(3.3) TeV at 2(5)$\sigma$ level, depending on the number of extra dimensions.

In our analysis, we use the form factors for $K\to\gamma$ transitions calculated directly in the entire physical range of momentum transfer within the light front model. We find that the branching ratios for the CP conserving and violating parts are about $1.0\times 10^{-13}$ and $1.5\times 10^{-15}$, respectively.

We present an extension of the SM involving three triplet fermions, one triplet scalar and one singlet fermion, which can explain both neutrino masses and dark matter. One triplet of fermions and the singlet are odd under a $Z_2$ symmetry, thus the model features two possible dark matter candidates. The two remaining $Z_2$-even triplet fermions can reproduce the neutrino masses and oscillation parameters consistent with observations. We consider the case where the singlet has feeble couplings while the triplet is weakly interacting and investigate the different possibilities for reproducing the observed dark matter relic density. This includes production of the triplet WIMP from freeze-out and from decay of the singlet as well as freeze-in production of the singlet from decay of particles that belong to the thermal bath or are thermally decoupled. While freeze-in production is usually dominated by decay processes, we also show cases where the annihilation of bath particles give substantial contribution to the final relic density. This occurs when the new scalars are below the TeV scale, thus in the reach of the LHC. The next-to-lightest odd particle can be long-lived and can alter the successful BBN predictions for the abundance of light elements, these constraints are relevant in both the scenarios where the singlet or the triplet are the long-lived particle. In the case where the triplet is the DM, the model is subject to constraints from ongoing direct, indirect and collider experiments. When the singlet is the DM, the triplet which is the next-to-lightest odd particle can be long-lived and can be probed at the proposed MATHUSLA detector. Finally we also address the detection prospects of triplet fermions and scalars at the LHC.

Thermal leptogenesis and supergravity are attractive scenarios for physics beyond the standard model. However, it is well known that the super-weak interaction of the gravitino often leads to problems with primordial nucleosynthesis in the standard scenario of matter parity conserving MSSM + three right-handed neutrinos. We will present and compare two related solutions to these problems: 1) The conflict between BBN and leptogenesis can be avoided in presence of a hidden sector with light supersymmetric particles which open new decay channels for the dangerous long-lived particles. 2) If there is a condensate in the hidden sector, such additional decay channels can be alternatively opened by dynamical breaking of matter parity in the hidden sector.

We present a renormalizable model of electroweak interactions containing an extra $SU(2)'_L\otimes SU(2)'_R$ symmetry. The masses of the corresponding gauge bosons and of the associated Higgs particles can be made heavy by tuning a convenient vacuum expectation value. According to the way in which the heavy mass limit is taken we obtain a previously considered non-linear model (degenerate BESS) which, in this limit, decouples giving rise to the Higgsless Standard Model (SM). Otherwise we can get a model which decouples giving the full SM. In this paper we argue that in the second limit the decoupling holds true also at the level of radiative corrections. Therefore the model discussed here is not distinguishable from the SM at low energy. Of course the two models differ deeply at higher energies.

Within the framework of an explicit dynamical model, in which we calculate the radiatively-corrected, tree-level potential that sets up inflation, we show that the inflaton can be a significant part of dark matter today. We exhibit potentials with both a maximum and a minimum. Using the calculated position of the potential minimum, and an estimate for fluctuations of the inflaton field in the early universe, we calculate a contribution to the matter energy density of $(1-2)\times 10^{-47}\GeV^4$ in the present universe, from cold inflatons with mass of about $6\times 10^9\GeV$. We show that the inflaton might decay in a specific way, and we calculate a possible lifetime that is several orders of magnitude greater than the present age of the universe. Inflaton decay is related to an interaction which, together with a spontaneous breakdown of CP invariance at a cosmological energy scale, can give rise to a neutrino-antineutrino asymmetry just prior to the time of electroweak symmetry breaking.

In the present work, a significant attenuation of light during its propagation in the KamLAND liquid scintillator is noted, the effect of which on the observability of the expected inverse beta-decay events and on the reconstruction of their characteristics has not been adequately analyzed. Because of this, we do not consider the declared results of the KamLAND experiment as reliable.

Using an eikonal approach in order to examine the relationship between this gluon-gluon scattering and the elastic $pp$ and $\bar{p}p$ channels, we found that the dynamical gluon mass is of the same order of magnitude as the {\it ad hoc} infrared mass scale $m_{0}$ underlying eikonalized QCD-inspired models. We argue that this correspondence is not an accidental result, and that this dynamical scale indeed represents the onset of non-perturbative contributions to the elastic hadron-hadron scattering. We apply the eikonal model with a dynamical infrared mass scale to obtain predictions for $\sigma_{tot}^{pp,\bar{p}p}$, $\rho^{pp,\bar{p}p}$, slope $B^{pp,\bar{p}p}$, and differential elastic scattering cross section $d\sigma^{\bar{p}p}/dt$ at Tevatron and CERN-LHC energies.

We consider the dijet cross section in $e^+ e^-$ annihilation using the Georgi jet algorithm, or the maximizing jet algorithm. The cross section is factorized into the hard, collinear and soft parts. Each factorized function is computed to next-to-leading order, and is shown to be infrared finite. The large logarithms are resummed at next-to-leading logarithmic accuracy. By analyzing the phase space for the jet algorithm, the Georgi algorithm turns out to be equivalent to the Sterman-Weinberg and the cone-type algorithms.

The ultra-light dark matter is a new class of dark matter candidates. Unlike traditional dark matter particle candidates, the ultra-light dark matter behaves like a classical field, which saturates the entire Milky Way galaxy with a coherent oscillation. If such dark matter exists and couples with neutrinos, properties of astrophysical neutrinos propagating in the Milky Way would be modified and detectable by neutrino telescopes such as IceCube. Meantime, IceCube looked for quantum-gravity-motivated effects from the astrophysical neutrino flavour information. IceCube did not find evidence of new physics, and they set limits on neutrino - Lorentz violating field couplings. Here, we investigate if these results can be applied to limit the ultra-light dark matter couplings with neutrinos. It is found that the strong limits of neutrino-dark matter couplings in low dark matter mass regions can be obtained in this approach.

The first four terms of an expansion in mH^2/mt^2 of the total inclusive cross section for Higgs production in gluon fusion are evaluated through next-to-next-to-leading order QCD. A reliable and precise approximation of the full top mass dependence at NNLO is derived and compared to the frequently used heavy-top limit. It is found that both results agree numerically to better than 0.5% in the Higgs mass range of 100-300 GeV. This validates the higher order results for the inclusive Higgs cross section and justifies the heavy-top limit as a powerful tool for Higgs phenomenology at the LHC and the Tevatron.

Transverse spherocity, an event shape observable, has a very unique capability to separate the events based on their geometrical shape, i.e. jetty and isotropic. In this work, we use transverse spherocity for the first time in heavy-ion collisions using A Multi-Phase Transport Model (AMPT). We obtain the transverse momentum spectra, integrated yield, mean transverse momentum and azimuthal anisotropy for identified particles in Xe-Xe collisions at $\sqrt{s_{\rm{NN}}} = 5.44$ TeV and Pb-Pb collisions at $\sqrt{s_{\rm{NN}}} = 5.02$ TeV. The indication of collectivity in heavy-ion collisions can be clearly seen while comparing the transverse momentum spectra from jetty and isotropic events. The elliptic flow as a function of transverse spherocity shows that the isotropic events have nearly zero elliptic flow and the elliptic flow is mostly dominated by the jetty events. This study will pave a way to focus on jetty events in heavy-ion collisions in order to investigate jet medium modification and jet hadro-chemistry in a sophisticated manner.

We impose asymptotic b-tau Yukawa coupling Unification and we resort to a parameterization of the deviation from Universality in the SSB motivated by the multiplet structure of SU(5) GUT. A set of cosmo-phenomenological constraints, including the recent results from WMAP, determines the allowed parameter space of the models under consideration. We highlight a new coannihilation corridor where neutralino-sbottom and neutralino-tau sneutrino-stau coannihilations significantly contribute to the reduction of the neutralino relic density.

In this work we point out that the apparent diphoton excess initially presented by the ATLAS and CMS collaborations could have originated from a radion in the bulk Higgs scenario within a warped extra dimension. In this scenario the couplings of the radion to massive gauge bosons are suppressed, allowing it to evade existing searches. In the presence of mixing with the Higgs, due to the strong constraints from diboson searches, only points near what we denominate the alignment region were able to explain the diphoton signal and evade other experimental constraints. In light of the new measurements presented at ICHEP 2016 by both LHC collaborations, which do not confirm the initial diphoton excess, we study the current and future collider constraints on a radion within the bulk-Higgs scenario. We find that searches in the diphoton channel provide the most powerful probe of this scenario and already exclude large regions of parameter space, particularly for smaller warp factors. The radion has a sizeable branching ratio into top pairs and this channel may also give competitive constraints in the future. Finally, diHiggs searches can provide a complementary probe in the case of non-zero radion-Higgs mixing but strong alignment.

Although the spectra of heavy quarkonium systems have been successfully explained by certain QCD motivated potential models, their strong decays are still an open problem. We perform a microscopic calculation of vector charmonium strong decays into open-charm mesons where the $q\bar{q}$ pairs are created from the same interquark interactions acting in the quark model that has been used to describe its spectrum, and also its leptonic and radiative decays. We compare the numerical results with those predicted by the $^{3}P_{0}$ decay model and with the available experimental data, and discuss the possible influence on the strong widths of the different terms of the potential. A comparison with other predictions from similar microscopic decay models is also included.

About 40-50 % of the quarkonium ground states J/psi(1S) and Upsilon(1S) produced in hadronic collisions originate from the decay of higher excitations. In a hot medium, these higher states are dissociated at lower temperatures than the more tightly bound ground states, leading to a sequential suppression pattern. Using new finite temperature lattice results, we specify the in-medium potential between heavy quarks and determine the dissociation points of different quarkonium states. On the basis of recent CDF data on bottomonium production, we then obtain first predictions for sequential Upsilon suppression in nuclear collisions.

We study the out-of-equilibrium evolution of an O(2)-invariant scalar field in which a conserved charge is stored. We apply a loop expansion of the 2-particle irreducible effective action to 3-loop order. Equations of motion are derived which conserve both total charge and total energy yet allow for the effects of scattering whereby charge and energy can transfer between modes. Working in (1+1)-dimensions we solve the equations of motion numerically for a system knocked out of equilibrium by a sudden temperature quench. We examine the initial stages of the charge and energy redistribution. This provides a basis from which we can understand the formation of Bose-Einstein condensates from first principles.

The strange-anticharmed Pentaquark is a uud(cbar)s or udd(cbar)s five-quark baryon that is expected to be either a narrow resonance, or possibly even stable against strong decay. We describe this hyperon here; its structure, binding energy and lifetime, resonance width, production mechanisms and decay modes. We estimate production cross sections, techniques to reduce backgrounds in search experiments, and how to optimize experiments to observe it. Possibilities for enhancing the signal over background in Pentaquark searches are investigated by examining predictions for detailed momentum and angular distributions in multiparticle final states. General model-independent predictions are presented as well as those from two models: a loosely bound Ds-N "deuteron" and a strongly-bound five-quark model. Fermilab E791 data, currently being analysed, may be marginal for showing definitive signals. Future experiments with more than 10^5 reconstructed charmed baryon events should have sensitivity to determine whether or not the Pentaquark exists.

We present a construction of the pion electromagnetic form factor where the transition from large-Nc Regge vector meson dominance models with infinitely many resonances to perturbative QCD is built in explicitly. The construction is based on an appropriate assignment of residues to the Regge poles, which fulfills the constraints of the parton-hadron duality and perturbative QCD. The model contains a slowly falling off non-perturbative contribution which dominates over the perturbative QCD radiative corrections for the experimentally accessible momenta. The leading order and next-to-leading order calculations show a converging pattern which describes the available data within uncertainties, while the onset of asymptotic QCD takes place at extremely high momenta, Q ~ 10^3-10^4 GeV. The method can be straightforwardly extended to study other form factors where the perturbative QCD result is available.

We examine a metastable $\mathcal{N}=1$ Macroscopic SO(N) SQCD model of Intriligator, Seiberg and Shih (ISS). We introduce various baryon and meson deformations, including multitrace operators and explore embedding an SO(10) parent of the standard model into two weakly gauged flavour sectors. Direct fundamental messengers and the symmetric pseudo-modulus messenger mediate SUSY breaking to the MSSM. Gaugino and sfermion masses are computed and compared for each deformation type. We also explore reducing the rank of the magnetic quark matrix of the ISS model and find an additional fundamental messenger.

Motivated by tremendous progress in neutrino oscillation experiments, we derive a new set of simple and compact formulas for three-flavor neutrino oscillation probabilities in matter of a constant density. A useful definition of the $\eta$-gauge neutrino mass-squared difference $\Delta^{}_* \equiv \eta \Delta^{}_{31} + (1-\eta) \Delta^{}_{32}$ is introduced, where $\Delta^{}_{ji} \equiv m^2_j - m^2_i$ for $ji = 21, 31, 32$ are the ordinary neutrino mass-squared differences and $0 \leq \eta \leq 1$ is a real and positive parameter. Expanding neutrino oscillation probabilities in terms of $\alpha \equiv \Delta^{}_{21}/\Delta^{}_*$, we demonstrate that the analytical formulas can be remarkably simplified for $\eta = \cos^2 \theta^{}_{12}$, with $\theta_{12}^{}$ being the solar mixing angle. As a by-product, the mapping from neutrino oscillation parameters in vacuum to their counterparts in matter is obtained at the order of ${\cal O}(\alpha^2)$. Finally, we show that our approximate formulas are not only valid for an arbitrary neutrino energy and any baseline length, but also still maintaining a high level of accuracy.

It is shown that the definition of the photon field in the broken-symmetry phase of the electroweak theory proposed recently by O.T(ornkvist is equivalent to that proposed previously by Vlasov et al.

It is now clear that the masses of the neutrino sector are much lighter than those of the other three sectors.There are many attempts to explain the neutrino masses radiatively by means of inert Higgses, which don't have vacuum expectation values. Then one can discuss cold dark matter candidates, because of no needing so heavy particles and having a $Z_2$ parity symmetry corresponding to the R-parity symmetry of the MSSM. The most famous work would be the Zee model. Recently a new type model along this line of thought was proposed by Mr. E. Ma. We paid attention to this idea. We introduce a flavor symmetry based on a dihedral group $D_6$ to constrain the Yukawa sector. For the neutrino sector, we find that the maximal mixing of atmospheric neutrinos is realized, it can also be shown that only an inverted mass spectrum, the value of $|V_{MNS_{13}}|$ is 0.0034 and so on. When one extends the Higgs sector, it leads to FCNCs mediated by Higgs fields generally. But in our model, the FCNCs are (of course) suppressed for the experiments sufficiently. For the fermionic CDM candidates, we find that the mass of the CDM and the inert Higgs should be larger than about 230 and 300 GeV, respectively. If we restrict ourselves to a perturbative regime, they should be lighter than about 750 GeV.
