On the use of a running coupling in the NLO calculation of forward hadron production

B. Ducloué, E. Iancu, T. Lappi +4

We address and solve a puzzle raised by a recent calculation [1] of the cross-section for particle production in proton-nucleus collisions to next-to-leading order: the numerical r…

Relations between Heavy-light Meson and Quark Masses

N. Brambilla, J. Komijani, A. S. Kronfeld +1

The study of heavy-light meson masses should provide a way to determine renormalized quark masses and other properties of heavy-light mesons. In the context of lattice QCD, for exa…

Anomalous dimension of subleading-power N-jet operators

Martin Beneke, Mathias Garny, Robert Szafron +1

We begin a systematic investigation of the anomalous dimension of subleading power N-jet operators in view of resummation of logarithmically enhanced terms in partonic cross sectio…

Zero-Range Effective Field Theory for Resonant Wino Dark Matter III. Annihilation Effects

Eric Braaten, Evan Johnson, Hong Zhang

Near a critical value of the wino mass where there is a zero-energy S-wave resonance at the neutral-wino-pair threshold, low-energy winos can be described by a zero-range effective…

Relativistic corrections to exclusive production from annihilation

Nora Brambilla, Wen Chen, Yu Jia +2

We calculate in the non-relativistic QCD (NRQCD) factorization framework all leading relativistic corrections to the exclusive production of in annihilation. I…

WCxf: an exchange format for Wilson coefficients beyond the Standard Model

Jason Aebischer, Ilaria Brivio, Alejandro Celis +11

We define a data exchange format for numerical values of Wilson coefficients of local operators parameterising low-energy effects of physics beyond the Standard Model. The format f…

Effective Majorana mass matrix from tau and pseudoscalar meson lepton number violating decays

Asmaa Abada, Valentina De Romeri, Michele Lucente +2

An observation of any lepton number violating process will undoubtedly point towards the existence of new physics and indirectly to the clear Majorana nature of the exchanged fermi…

Leptoquarks meet and rare Kaon processes

Christoph Bobeth, Andrzej J. Buras

We analyse for the first time the CP violating ratio in decays in leptoquark (LQ) models. Assuming a mass gap to the electroweak (EW) scale, th…

Probing Leptogenesis

E. J. Chun, G. Cvetič, P. S. B. Dev +12

The focus of this chapter lies on the possible experimental tests of leptogenesis scenarios. We consider both leptogenesis generated from oscillations, as well as leptogenesis from…

ARS Leptogenesis

M. Drewes, B. Garbrecht, P. Hernandez +6

We review the current status of the leptogenesis scenario originally proposed by Akhmedov, Rubakov and Smirnov (ARS). It takes place in the parametric regime where the right-handed…

Clockwork for Neutrino Masses and Lepton Flavor Violation

Alejandro Ibarra, Ashwani Kushwaha, Sudhir K. Vempati

We investigate the generation of small neutrino masses in a clockwork framework which includes Dirac mass terms as well as Majorana mass terms for the new fermions. We derive analy…

Non-resonant and electroweak NNLO correction to the top anti-top threshold

Martin Beneke, Andreas Maier, Thomas Rauh +1

We determine the NNLO electroweak correction to the production cross section near the top-pair production threshold. The calculation includes non-reso…

Heavy quarkonium suppression in a fireball

Nora Brambilla, Miguel A. Escobedo, Joan Soto +1

We perform a comprehensive study of the time evolution of heavy-quarkonium states in an expanding hot QCD medium by implementing effective field theory techniques in the framework…

Status of rates and rate equations for thermal leptogenesis

Simone Biondini, Dietrich Bodeker, Nora Brambilla +8

In many realizations of leptogenesis, heavy right-handed neutrinos play the main role in the generation of an imbalance between matter and antimatter in the early Universe. Hence,…

Resonant enhancement in leptogenesis

P. S. Bhupal Dev, Mathias Garny, Juraj Klaric +2

Vanilla leptogenesis within the type I seesaw framework requires the mass scale of the right-handed neutrinos to be above 10^9 GeV. This lower bound can be avoided if at least two…

Flavor effects in leptogenesis

P. S. Bhupal Dev, Pasquale Di Bari, Bjorn Garbrecht +3

Flavor effects can have a significant impact on the final estimate of the lepton (and therefore baryon) asymmetry in scenarios of leptogenesis. It is therefore necessary to account…

Large NLO corrections in and hadroproduction from supposedly subleading EW contributions

Rikkert Frederix, Davide Pagani, Marco Zaro

We calculate the complete-NLO predictions for and production in proton--proton collisions at 13 and 100 TeV. All the non-vanishing contribution…

Modeling Finite-Volume Effects and Chiral Symmetry Breaking in Two-Flavor QCD Thermodynamics

Bertram Klein

Finite-volume effects in Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) have been a subject of much theoretical interest for more than two decades. They are in particular important for the analysis…

Resolving ambiguities in model-independent partial-wave analysis of three-body decay

F. Krinner, D. Greenwald, D. Ryabchikov +2

Partial wave analysis is an important tool for analyzing large data sets in hadronic decays of light and heavy mesons. It commonly relies on the isobar model, which assumes multiha…
