Quantitative studies of the homogeneous Bethe-Salpeter Equation in Minkowski space

Tobias Frederico, Giovanni Salme', Michele Viviani

The Bethe-Salpeter Equation for a bound system, composed by two massive scalars exchanging a massive scalar, is quantitatively investigated in ladder approximation, within the Naka…

PPPC 4 DM: A Poor Particle Physicist Cookbook for Neutrinos from DM annihilations in the Sun

Pietro Baratella, Marco Cirelli, Andi Hektor +3

We provide ingredients and recipes for computing neutrino signals of TeV-scale Dark Matter annihilations in the Sun. For each annihilation channel and DM mass we present the energy…

Hadronic total cross sections at high energy and the QCD spectrum

Matteo Giordano, Enrico Meggiolaro

We show how to obtain the leading energy dependence of hadronic total cross sections, in the framework of the nonperturbative approach to soft high-energy scattering based on Wilso…

Thermal axion production

Alberto Salvio, Alessandro Strumia, Wei Xue

We reconsider thermal production of axions in the early universe, including axion couplings to all Standard Model (SM) particles. Concerning the axion coupling to gluons, we find t…

Remarks on the U(1) axial symmetry and the chiral transition in QCD at finite temperature

E. Meggiolaro, A. Mordà

We discuss the role of the U(1) axial symmetry for the scalar and pseudoscalar meson mass spectrum of QCD at finite temperature, above the chiral transition at T_c, using a chiral…

The cosmic-ray positron excess from a local Dark Matter over-density

A. Hektor, M. Raidal, A. Strumia +1

We show that the cosmic-ray positron excess measured by PAMELA and AMS could be induced by Dark Matter annihilations in a local over-density. In such a context leptophilic DM is no…

Investigating the near-criticality of the Higgs boson

Dario Buttazzo, Giuseppe Degrassi, Pier Paolo Giardino +4

We extract from data the parameters of the Higgs potential, the top Yukawa coupling and the electroweak gauge couplings with full 2-loop NNLO precision, and we extrapolate the SM p…

Dynamical generation of the weak and Dark Matter scale

Thomas Hambye, Alessandro Strumia

Assuming that naturalness should be modified by ignoring quadratic divergences, we propose a simple extension of the Standard Model where the weak scale is dynamically generated to…

Predicting the tau strange branching ratios and implications for V_{us}

Mario Antonelli, Vincenzo Cirigliano, Alberto Lusiani +1

Hadronic tau decays provide several ways to extract the Cabbibo-Kobashi-Maskawa (CKM) matrix element V_{us}. The most precise determination involves using inclusive tau decays and…

A modified naturalness principle and its experimental tests

Marco Farina, Duccio Pappadopulo, Alessandro Strumia

Motivated by LHC results, we modify the usual criterion for naturalness by ignoring the uncomputable power divergences. The Standard Model satisfies the modified criterion ('finite…

The universal Higgs fit

Pier Paolo Giardino, Kristjan Kannike, Isabella Masina +2

We perform a state-of-the-art global fit to all Higgs data. We synthesise them into a 'universal' form, which allows to easily test any desired model. We apply the proposed methodo…
