Application of Ewald's Method for Efficient Summation of Dyon Long-Range Potentials

Benjamin Maier, Falk Bruckmann, Simon Dinter +3

We study a model of dyons for SU(2) Yang-Mills theory at finite temperature T < T_c, in particular its ability to generate a confining force between a static quark antiquark pair.…

Impact of vector-current interactions on the QCD phase diagram

Thomas Hell, Kouji Kashiwa, Wolfram Weise

Using a nonlocal version of the Polyakov-loop-extended Nambu--Jona-Lasinio model, we investi- gate effects of a nonderivative vector-current interaction (relating to the quark-numb…

B -> D^(*) tau nu and B -> tau nu in chiral U(1)' models with flavored multi Higgs doublets

P. Ko, Yuji Omura, Chaehyun Yu

We discuss semileptonic and leptonic B decays, B to D^{(*)} tau nu and B to tau nu, in the chiral U(1)' models which were proposed by the present authors in the context of the top…

Low-energy constants and condensates from the tau hadronic spectral functions

Diogo Boito, Maarten Golterman, Matthias Jamin +2

We use results of fits to the OPAL spectral data, obtained from non-strange hadronic τdecays, to evaluate the difference between the vector and axial current correlators, Π_{V-A}(Q…

Flavour with a Light Dynamical "Higgs Particle"

R. Alonso, M. B. Gavela, L. Merlo +2

The Higgs-fermion couplings are sensitive probes of possible new physics behind a stable light Higgs particle. It is then essential to identify the flavour pattern of those interac…

General Analysis of B -> K^(*) l^+ l^- Decays at Low Recoil

Christoph Bobeth, Gudrun Hiller, Danny van Dyk

We analyze the angular distributions of B -> K^* (-> K pi) l^+ l^- and B -> K l^+ l^- decays in the region of low hadronic recoil in a model-independent way by taking into account…

Supersymmetric unification and R symmetries

Mu-Chun Chen, Maximilian Fallbacher, Michael Ratz

We review the role of R symmetries in models of supersymmetric unification in four and more dimensions, and in string theory. We show that, if one demands anomaly freedom and fermi…

The Anatomy of Quark Flavour Observables in 331 Models in the Flavour Precision Era

Andrzej J. Buras, Fulvia De Fazio, Jennifer Girrbach +1

The coming flavour precision era will allow to uncover various patterns of flavour violation in different New Physics (NP) scenarios that are presently washed out by hadronic and e…

Lepton Mixing Parameters from Discrete and CP Symmetries

Ferruccio Feruglio, Claudia Hagedorn, Robert Ziegler

We consider a scenario with three Majorana neutrinos in which a discrete, finite flavour group G_f is combined with a generalized CP transformation. We derive conditions for consis…

On the spin-dependent sensitivity of XENON100

Mathias Garny, Alejandro Ibarra, Miguel Pato +1

The latest XENON100 data severely constrains dark matter elastic scattering off nuclei, leading to impressive upper limits on the spin-independent cross-section. The main goal of t…

The Anatomy of Z' and Z with Flavour Changing Neutral Currents in the Flavour Precision Era

Andrzej J. Buras, Fulvia De Fazio, Jennifer Girrbach

The simplest extension of the SM that generally introduces new sources of flavour and CP violation as well as right-handed currents is the addition of a U(1) gauge symmetry to the…

Perturbative expansion of tau hadronic spectral function moments and alpha_s extractions

Martin Beneke, Diogo Boito, Matthias Jamin

Various moments of the hadronic spectral functions have been employed in the determination of the strong coupling alpha_s from tau decays. In this work we study the behaviour of th…

Patterns of flavour violation at the dawn of the LHC era

Maria Valentina Carlucci

The experimental success of the predictions of the Standard Model in the flavour sector suggests that New Physics should possess a highly non-generic flavour structure. Different a…

New Physics scenarios in light of new and old flavour data

Maria Valentina Carlucci

The flavour observables currently in the spotlight because of the recent experimental updates or because of the presence of tensions with the Standard Model predictions are reviewe…

Baryogenesis from Mixing of Lepton Doublets

Bjorn Garbrecht

It is shown that the mixing of lepton doublets of the Standard Model can yield sizeable contributions to the lepton asymmetry, that is generated through the decays of right-handed…

First implications of LHCb data on models beyond the Standard Model

Maria Valentina Carlucci

We discuss the theoretical and experimental details of two of the main results obtained by LHCb with the 2011 data, namely the measurement of the mixing-induced CP-violation in the…

Transverse momentum broadening and gauge invariance

Antonio Vairo

In the framework of the soft-collinear effective theory, we present a gauge invariant definition of the transverse momentum broadening probability of a highly-energetic collinear q…

The muon anomalous magnetic moment in the Randall-Sundrum model

M. Beneke, P. Dey, J. Rohrwild

We calculate the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon in the minimal Randall-Sundrum model with standard model fields in five-dimensional (5D) warped space and a brane-localized H…

Prospects of antideuteron detection from dark matter annihilations or decays at AMS-02 and GAPS

Alejandro Ibarra, Sebastian Wild

The search for cosmic antideuterons has been proposed as a promising method to indirectly detect dark matter, due to the very small background flux from spallations expected at the…

The total top-pair production cross section at NNLL

M. Beneke, P. Falgari, S. Klein +4

We present results for the total top-pair production cross section at the Tevatron and the LHC. Our predictions supplement fixed-order results with resummation of soft logarithms a…

A radiative model with a naturally mild neutrino mass hierarchy

Dieter Hehn, Alejandro Ibarra

Many neutrino mass models postulate the existence of at least two extra fermions in order to account for the measured solar and atmospheric mass splittings. In these models, howeve…

Dark Matter, Baryogenesis and Neutrino Oscillations from Right Handed Neutrinos

Laurent Canetti, Marco Drewes, Tibor Frossard +1

Higgs Decays in the Low Scale Type I See-Saw Model

C. Garcia Cely, A. Ibarra, E. Molinaro +1

The couplings of the low scale type I see-saw model are severely constrained by the requirement of reproducing the correct neutrino mass and mixing parameters, by the non-observati…
