Christensen and Daniel Salmon Categories: hep-ph Comments: 16 pages, 11 figures Report-no: PITT-PACC-1311 \\ We construct a new kinematical variable that is able to fully reconstruct the absolute value, and partially reconstruct the sign, of the angular distribution in the center of momentum system of a decaying particle in certain cases where the center of momentum system is only known up to a two-fold ambiguity. We apply this method to the pair-production of dark matter in association with two charged leptons at the International Linear Collider and show that for a small intermediate width, perfect agreement is found with the true angular distribution in the absence of initial state radiation. In the presence of initial state radiation, we find that the modification to the angular distributions is small for most angles and that the different spin combinations should still be distinguishable. This enables us to determine the spin of the mother particle and the dark matter particle in many cases. \\ ( http://arxiv.org/abs/1311.6465 , 202kb) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ \\ arXiv:1311.6468 Date: Mon, 25 Nov 2013 21:00:04 GMT (1229kb,D) Title: Scattering properties of dark atoms and molecules Authors: James M. Cline, Zuowei Liu, Guy Moore, Wei Xue Categories: hep-ph astro-ph.CO physics.atom-ph Comments: 11 pages, 12 figures \\ There has been renewed interest in the possibility that dark matter exists in the form of atoms, analogous to those of the visible world. An important input for understanding the cosmological consequences of dark atoms is their self-scattering. Making use of results from atomic physics for the potentials between hydrogen atoms, we compute the low-energy elastic scattering cross sections for dark atoms. We find an intricate dependence upon the ratio of the dark proton to electron mass, allowing for the possibility to "design" low-energy features in the cross section. Dependences upon other parameters, namely the gauge coupling and reduced mass, scale out of the problem by using atomic units. We derive constraints on the parameter space of dark atoms by demanding that their scattering cross section does not exceed bounds from dark matter halo shapes. We discuss the formation of molecular dark hydrogen in the universe, and determine the analogous constraints on the model when the dark matter is predominantly in molecular form. \\ ( http://arxiv.org/abs/1311.6468 , 1229kb) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ \\ arXiv:1311.6472 Date: Mon, 25 Nov 2013 21:00:07 GMT (8kb) Title: Baryon Asymmetry, Dark Matter and Local Baryon Number Authors: Pavel Fileviez Perez, Hiren H. Patel Categories: hep-ph \\ We investigate the relation between the baryon and dark matter asymmetries in the universe in theories where the baryon number is a local symmetry. In these scenarios the B-L asymmetry generated through a mechanism such as leptogenesis is transferred to the dark matter sector through sphalerons processes which conserve total baryon number. We show that it is possible to have a consistent relation between the dark matter relic density and the baryon asymmetry in the universe even if the baryon number is broken at the low scale through the Higgs mechanism. We also discuss the case where one uses the Stueckelberg mechanism to understand the conservation of baryon number in nature. \\ ( http://arxiv.org/abs/1311.6472 , 8kb) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ \\ arXiv:1311.6476 Date: Mon, 25 Nov 2013 21:00:11 GMT (511kb) Title: Two-loop applications of the program SecDec Authors: Sophia Borowka, Gudrun Heinrich Categories: hep-ph Comments: 8 pages, 6 figures, presented at the 11th International Symposium on Radiative Corrections, RADCOR 2013, 22.-27.

Following a simplified model approach, we describe all possible monotop production modes via an effective theory and estimate the sensitivity of the LHC, assuming 20 fb$^{-1}$ of collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 8 TeV, to the observation of a monotop state. Considering both leptonic and hadronic top quark decays, we show that large fractions of the parameter space are reachable and that new physics particles with masses ranging up to 1.5 TeV can leave hints within the 2012 LHC dataset, assuming moderate new physics coupling strengths. \\ ( http://arxiv.org/abs/1311.6478 , 108kb) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ \\ arXiv:1311.6479 Date: Mon, 25 Nov 2013 21:00:54 GMT (265kb,D) Title: Lattice understanding of the Delta I=1/2 rule & some implications Authors: Amarjit Soni Categories: hep-ph Comments: 11 pages, 6 figures; invited talk at the EW MORIOND 2013 \\ After decades of intensive efforts, lattice methods finally revealed one clear source of the large enhancement of the ratio $Re A_0/Re A_2$ \cite{RBC_UKQCD_PRL13}, which has been a puzzle in particle physics for about sixty years. Lattice studies of direct $K \to \pi \pi$ in the $I=2$ channel show that in fact this channel clearly suffers from a severe suppression due to a significant cancellation between the two amplitudes for the original, charged current (tree) operator. % [($\bar s_\alpha \gamma_mu (1 - \gamma_5) u_\alpha)(\bar u_\beta \gamma_mu(1-gamma_5)d_\beta$)], One of these amplitudes goes as N and the other one goes as $N^2$, where $N=3$ for QCD. For physical pion masses the cancellation between the two contributions towards $Re A_2$ is about $70\%$. This appreciable cancellation suggests that expectations from large N for QCD may be amenable to receiving significant corrections. The penguin operators seem to make a small contribution to $ReA_0$ at a scale $\gsim 1.5 GeV$. Possible repercussions of the lattice observation for other decays are briefly discussed. \\ ( http://arxiv.org/abs/1311.6479 , 265kb) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ \\ arXiv:1311.6480 Date: Mon, 25 Nov 2013 21:01:39 GMT (1727kb,D) Title: SUSY Simplified Models at 14, 33, and 100 TeV Proton Colliders Authors: Timothy Cohen, Tobias Golling, Mike Hance, Anna Henrichs, Kiel Howe, Joshua Loyal, Sanjay Padhi, and Jay G.

Our focus is on models whose signals are driven by colored production. We present projections of the upper limit and discovery reach in the gluino-neutralino (for both light and heavy flavor decays), squark-neutralino, and gluino-squark Simplified Model planes. Depending on the model a jets + MET, mono-jet, or same-sign di-lepton search is applied. The impact of pileup is explored. This study utilizes the Snowmass backgrounds and combined detector. Assuming 3000 fb^{-1} of integrated luminosity, a gluino that decays to light flavor quarks can be discovered below 2.3 TeV at the 14 TeV LHC and below 11 TeV at a 100 TeV machine. \\ ( http://arxiv.org/abs/1311.6480 , 1727kb) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ \\ arXiv:1311.6488 Date: Mon, 25 Nov 2013 21:32:43 GMT (796kb,D) Title: Exploring the dark side of the top Yukawa Authors: Sonia El Hedri, Patrick J.

Precision measurements of these couplings in the future collider experiments are the key to either verifying the mechanism of the electroweak symmetry breaking in the SM or uncovering physics beyond the SM. This article gives an overview of how various Higgs couplings will be measured at the ILC. Emphasis is put on the ILC's capability of performing fully model independent determination of absolute $HZZ$ and $HWW$ couplings, the Higgs total width, and hence various other Higgs couplings, which cover essentially all the crucial ones including the top-Yukawa coupling $Htt$ and the trilinear Higgs self-coupling $\lambda_{HHH}$. The strategy to get the best precision measurements at the ILC is through staged running, which provides many independent $\sigma\times\mathrm{Br}$ measurements for different production channels and at different energies. A method of global fitting is discussed to utilize all of the available information and to derive combined precisions. \\ ( http://arxiv.org/abs/1311.6528 , 1667kb) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ \\ arXiv:1311.6537 Date: Tue, 26 Nov 2013 01:25:32 GMT (131kb) Title: Calculation of glueball spectra in supersymmetric theories via holography Authors: Ivan Gordeli and Dmitry Melnikov Categories: hep-ph hep-lat hep-th Comments: 10 pages, 2 figures; Proceedings of the workshop "Low X Physics", Israel, May 30 - June 4, 2013 \\ Lattice simulations currently present the only way to access nonperturbative data in strongly coupled theories from a first principle calculation. However, in supersymmetric theories this valuable tool is not available due to the technical sign problem. We are going to demonstrate that in the case of glueball spectra a good quantitative estimate for the lightest states of low spin can be obtained by means of the holographic approach. We will review the results of the calculation in the singlet glueball sector of the N=1 supersymmetric Klebanov-Strassler model. We come up with a prediction of the spectrum of lightest glueballs in (large Nc) N=1 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory. \\ ( http://arxiv.org/abs/1311.6537 , 131kb) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ \\ arXiv:1311.6549 Date: Tue, 26 Nov 2013 03:45:27 GMT (1461kb,D) Title: Multi-lepton signatures at LHC from sneutrino dark matter Authors: Chiara Arina and Maria Eugenia Cabrera Categories: hep-ph astro-ph.CO Comments: 31 pages, 9 figures \\ We investigate multi-lepton LHC signals arising from an extension at the grand unification scale of the standard minimal supersymmetric model (MSSM) involving right-handed neutrino superfields. In this framework neutrinos have Dirac masses and the mixed sneutrinos are the lightest supersymmetric particles and hence the dark matter candidates. We analyze the model parameter space in which the sneutrino is a good dark matter particle and has a direct detection cross-section compatible with the LUX bound. Studying the supersymmetric mass spectrum of this region, we find several signatures relevant for LHC, which are distinct from the predictions of the MSSM with neutralino dark matter. For instance two opposite sign and different flavor leptons, three uncorrelated leptons and long-lived staus are the most representative. Simulating both the signal and expected background, we find that the multi-lepton signatures and the long-lived stau are in the reach of the future run of LHC with a luminosity of 100/fb. We point out that if one of these signatures is detected, it might be an indication of sneutrino dark matter. \\ ( http://arxiv.org/abs/1311.6549 , 1461kb) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ \\ arXiv:1311.6562 Date: Tue, 26 Nov 2013 05:41:43 GMT (397kb,D) Title: UV descriptions of composite Higgs models without elementary scalars Authors: James Barnard, Tony Gherghetta, Tirtha Sankar Ray Categories: hep-ph hep-th Comments: 28 pages \\ We consider four-dimensional UV descriptions of composite Higgs models without elementary scalars, in which four-fermion interactions are introduced to an underlying gauge theory like in the gauged NJL model. When the anomalous dimension of the fermion bilinear is large, these interactions drive the spontaneous global symmetry breaking in the model, with the Higgs identified as a Nambu-Goldstone boson. The UV descriptions support composite top partner operators, also with large anomalous dimensions, thereby providing an explicit realisation of the idea of partial compositeness. In particular, the composite SO(6)/SO(5) model can be described by an Sp gauge theory with four flavours of fermion, together with a vector-like pair of fermions transforming in the antisymmetric representation and charged under SU(3) colour. These fermions confine to produce both the Higgs and top partner bound states. Our methods can also be applied to different coset groups, suggesting that four-fermion operators can describe the underlying UV dynamics of other composite Higgs models. \\ ( http://arxiv.org/abs/1311.6562 , 397kb) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ \\ arXiv:1311.6579 Date: Tue, 26 Nov 2013 07:58:03 GMT (97kb,D) Title: Excited light and strange hadrons from the lattice with two Chirally Improved quarks Authors: Georg P.

Fukano, Masafumi Kurachi, Shinya Matsuzaki and Koichi Yamawaki Categories: hep-ph hep-ex Comments: 18 pages, 1 figure \\ In the spirit of the top quark condensation, we propose a model which has a naturally light composite Higgs boson, "tHiggs", to be identified with the 126 GeV Higgs discovered at the LHC. The tHiggs, a bound state of the top quark and its flavor (vector-like) partner, emerges as a pseudo Nambu-Goldstone boson (NGB), "Top-Mode Pseudo", together with the exact NGBs to be absorbed into the W and Z bosons as well as another (heavier) Top-Mode Pseudo (CP-odd composite scalar). Those five composite (exact/pseudo) NGBs are dynamically produced simultaneously by a single supercritical four-fermion interaction having U(3) x U(1) symmetry which includes the electroweak symmetry, where the vacuum is aligned by small explicit breaking term so as to break the symmetry down to a subgroup, U(2) x U(1)', in a way not to retain the electroweak symmetry, in sharp contrast to the little Higgs models. The explicit breaking term for the vacuum alignment gives rise to a mass of the tHiggs, which is protected by the symmetry and hence naturally controlled against radiative corrections. Realistic top quark mass is easily realized similarly to the top-seesaw mechanism by introducing an extra (subcritical) four-fermion coupling which explicitly breaks the residual U(2) x U(1)' symmetry. We present a phenomenological Lagrangian of the Top-Mode Pseudos along with the standard model particles, which will be useful for the study of the collider phenomenology. The coupling property of the tHiggs is shown to be consistent with the currently available data reported from the LHC. Several phenomenological consequences and constraints from experiments are also addressed. \\ ( http://arxiv.org/abs/1311.6629 , 95kb) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ \\ arXiv:1311.6641 Date: Tue, 26 Nov 2013 12:36:52 GMT (748kb) Title: Novel collective excitations in a hot scalar field theory Authors: Marco Drewes Categories: hep-ph hep-th Comments: 15 pages plus appendix, 9 figures Report-no: TUM-HEP-914/13 \\ We study the spectrum of quasiparticles in a scalar quantum field theory at high temperature.

This new scalar field mixes with the SM Higgs field to form two mass eigenstates, one of which corresponds to the 125 GeV SM-like Higgs boson reported by the LHC experiments. In this work, under current constraints from the electroweak precision data (EWPD) and all available Higgs search data, we investigate the phenomenology of Higgs/dilaton sector in the MDM in both the heavy dilaton scenario and the light dilaton scenario. We find that: (i) If one considers the ATLAS and CMS data separately, the MDM can explain each of them well, but refer to different parameter space due to the apparent difference in the two sets of data. If one considers the combined data of the LHC and Tevatron, however, the explanation given by the MDM is not much better than the SM, and the dilaton component in the 125-GeV Higgs is less than 20% at 2 $\sigma$ level. (ii) The current Higgs data have stronger constrains on the light dilaton scenario than the heavy dilaton scenario. (iii) The heavy dilaton scenario can produce a Higgs triple self coupling much larger than the SM value, and thus a significantly enhanced Higgs pair cross section at hadron colliders. With a luminosity of 100 fb$^{-1}$ (10 fb$^{-1}$) at the 14-TeV LHC, a heavy dilaton of 400 GeV (500 GeV) can be examined. (iv) In the light dilaton scenario, the Higgs exotic branching ratio can reach 60% (43%) at 3 $\sigma$ (2 $\sigma$) level when considering only the CMS data, which may be detected at the 14-TeV LHC with a luminosity of 300 fb$^{-1}$ and the Higgs Factory. \\ ( http://arxiv.org/abs/1311.6661 , 499kb) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ \\ arXiv:1311.6662 Date: Tue, 26 Nov 2013 13:48:01 GMT (70kb) Title: EW and QCD One-Loop Amplitudes with RECOLA Authors: Stefano Actis, Ansgar Denner, Lars Hofer, Andreas Scharf, Sandro Uccirati Categories: hep-ph Comments: 8 pages, to appear in the Proceedings of the 11th International Symposium on Radiative Corrections (Applications of Quantum Field Theory to Phenomenology), RADCOR 2013, Lumley Castle Hotel, Durham, UK, 2013 \\ We present the computer code RECOLA for the computation of EW and QCD amplitudes in the Standard Model at next-to-leading order.

Buras, Fulvia De Fazio, Jennifer Girrbach Categories: hep-ph hep-ex hep-lat Comments: 46 pages, 14 figures Report-no: FLAVOUR(267104)-ERC-55, BARI-TH/13-681 \\ We investigate how the 331 models face new data on B_{s,d}->mu^+mu^- and B_d->K^*mu^+mu^- taking into account present constraints from Delta F=2 observables, low energy precision measurements, LEP-II and the LHC data. In these models new flavour violating interactions of ordinary quarks and leptons are dominated by a new heavy Z^prime gauge boson with the strength of the relevant couplings governed by four new parameters in the quark sector and the parameter beta. We study the implications of these models for beta=+-n/sqrt{3} with n=1,2,3. The case beta=-sqrt{3} leading to Landau singularities for M_{Z'}approx 4Tev can be ruled out when the present constraints on Z^prime couplings, in particular from LEP-II, are taken into account. For n=1,2 interesting results are found for M_{Z^prime}< 4Tev with largest NP effects for beta<0 in B_d->K^*mu^+mu^- and the ones in B_{s,d}->mu^+mu^- for beta>0. As Re(C_9^NP) can reach the values -0.8 and -0.4 for n=2 and n=1, respectively the B_d-> K^*mu^+mu^- anomalies can be softened with the size depending on Delta M_s/(Delta M_s)_SM and the CP-asymmetry S_{psiphi}. A correlation between Re(C_9^NP) and BR(B_s->mu^+mu^-), identified for beta<0, implies for negative Re(C_9^NP) uniquely suppression of BR(B_s->mu^+mu^-) relative to its SM value which is favoured by the data. In turn also S_{psiphi}< S_{psiphi}^SM is favoured having dominantly opposite sign to S_{psiphi}^SM. We find that the absence of B_d-> K^*mu^+mu^- anomalies in the future data and confirmation of the suppression of BR(B_s->mu^+mu^-) relative to its SM value would favour beta=1/sqrt{3} and M_{Z'}approx 3Tev. Assuming lepton universality, we find an upper bound |C_9^NP|<1.1(1.4) from LEP-II data for all Z' models with only left-handed flavour violating couplings to quarks when NP contributions to Delta M_s at the level of 10%(15%) are allowed. \\ ( http://arxiv.org/abs/1311.6729 , 617kb) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ \\ arXiv:1311.6738 Date: Tue, 26 Nov 2013 17:02:32 GMT (260kb) Title: Next-to-leading order QCD corrections to $W^+W^+$ and $W^-W^-$ production in association with two jets Authors: Francisco Campanario, Matthias Kerner, Le Duc Ninh, Dieter Zeppenfeld Categories: hep-ph hep-ex Comments: 10 pages, 10 figures, 4 tables Report-no: FTUV-13-2211, IFC/13-89, KA-TP-39-2013, LPN13-096, SFB/CPP-13-106 \\ We present a study of $W^+W^+jj$ and $W^-W^-jj$ production including leptonic decays in hadron-hadron collisions. The full electroweak and QCD induced contributions and their interferences are calculated at leading order. We find that, for inclusive cuts, the interference effects can be large if the jets are produced with large transverse momentum where, however, the production rate is suppressed. We also discuss the vector-boson-fusion (VBF) cuts and show the validity of the VBF approximation. The NLO QCD corrections to the QCD-induced channels are also calculated. Compared to the previous calculation, we allow the intermediate $W$ bosons to be off-shell. For on-shell $W$ production, we obtain an excellent agreement with previous results. Our code will be publicly available as part of the parton level Monte Carlo program VBFNLO. \\ ( http://arxiv.org/abs/1311.6738 , 260kb) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ \\ arXiv:1311.6743 Date: Tue, 26 Nov 2013 17:19:44 GMT (811kb) Title: A study on baryons spectroscopy using digamma-function as interacting potential Authors: L. I. Abou-Salem Categories: hep-ph nucl-th \\ In the present work, the interacting potential form between quarks inside a baryon is taken to be proportional to the digamma-function. Using the Jacobi-coordinates the three body wave equation is solved to calculate the different states of the considered baryons. The present model contains only two adjustable parameters in addition to the quark masses. Our theoretical calculations are compared to the available experimental data and Cornelll potential calculations. The present potential model calculations show a satisfied agreement in case of investigated the resonance masses of the considered baryons. One can conclude that; the interaction between the quark constituents of baryon systems could be described adequately by using the considered simple potential form. \\ ( http://arxiv.org/abs/1311.6743 , 811kb) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ \\ arXiv:1311.6746 Date: Tue, 26 Nov 2013 17:27:28 GMT (18kb,D) Title: Maximal zero textures of the inverse seesaw with broken $\mu\tau$ symmetry Authors: Biswajit Adhikary, Ambar Ghosal and Probir Roy Categories: hep-ph Comments: 20 pages, no figures, To be published in Indian Journal of Physics (Special issue commemorating the 125th birth anniversary of C.~V.~Raman) \\ The inverse neutrino seesaw, characterised by only one source of lepton number violation at an ultralight $O$(keV) scale and observable new phenomena at TeV energies accessible to the LHC, is considered. Maximal zero textures of the $3\times 3$ lighter and heavier Dirac mass matrices of neutral leptons, appearing in the Lagarangian for such an inverse seesaw, are studied within the framework of $\mu\tau$ symmetry in a specified weak basis. That symmetry ensures the identity of the positions of maximal zeros of the heavy neutrino mass matrix and its inverse. It then suffices to study the maximal zeros of the lighter Dirac mass matrix and those of the inverse of the heavier one since they come in a product. The observed absence of any unmixed neutrino flavour and the assumption of no strictly massless physical neutrino state allow only eight $4$-zero $\times$ $4$-zero, eight $4$-zero $\times$ $6$-zero and eight $6$-zero $\times$ $4$-zero combinations. The additional requirement of leptogenesis is shown to eliminate the last sixteen textures. The surviving eight $4$-zero $\times$ $4$-zero textures are subjected to the most general explicit $\mu\tau$ symmetry breaking terms in the Lagrangian in order to accommodate the nonzero value of $\theta_{13}$ in the observed range. A full diagonalisation is then carried out. On numerical comparison with all extant and relevant neutrino (antineutrino) data, seven of these eight combination textures in five neutrino matrix forms are found to be allowed, leading to five distinct neutrino mass matrices. Two of these permit only a normal (and the other three only an inverted) mass ordering of the light neutrinos. \\ ( http://arxiv.org/abs/1311.6746 , 18kb) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ \\ arXiv:1311.6770 Date: Tue, 26 Nov 2013 18:50:04 GMT (750kb) Title: Supergravity Inflation with Broken Shift Symmetry and Large Tensor-to-Scalar Ratio Authors: Tianjun Li, Zhijin Li, Dimitri V. Nanopoulos Categories: hep-ph hep-th Comments: Revtex4, 14 pages, 4 figures Report-no: ACT-10-13 \\ We propose a class of inflation models with potential V(\phi)=\alpha \phi^n exp(-\beta^m \phi^m). We show that such kind of inflaton potentials can be realized in supergravity theory with a small shift symmetry breaking term in the K\"ahler potential. We find that the models with (m=1, n=1), (m=1, n=2), (m=2, n=1), and (m=2, n=3/2) can easily accommodate the Planck results. In particular, the tensor-to-scalar ratio is larger than 0.01 in the 1\sigma region. Thus, these models generate the typical large field inflation, and can be tested at the future Planck and QUBIC experiments. \\ ( http://arxiv.org/abs/1311.6770 , 750kb) %-%-%-%-%-%-%-%-%-%-%-%-%-%-%-%-%-%-%-%-%-%-%-%-%-%-%-%-%-%-%-%-%-%-%-%-%-%-%- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ \\ arXiv:1311.6512 (*cross-listing*) Date: Mon, 25 Nov 2013 23:26:56 GMT (519kb,D) Title: Nuclear structure contribution to the Lamb shift in muonic deuterium Authors: Carl E. Carlson, Mikhail Gorchtein, Marc Vanderhaeghen Categories: nucl-th hep-ph nucl-ex Comments: 10 pages, 11 figures, 3 tables \\ We consider the two-photon exchange contribution to the $2P-2S$ Lamb shift in muonic deuterium in the framework of forward dispersion relations. The dispersion integrals are evaluated using experimental data on elastic deuteron form factors and inelastic electron-deuteron scattering, both in the quasielastic and hadronic range. The subtraction constant that is required to ensure convergence of the dispersion relation for the forward Compton amplitude $T_1(\nu,Q^2)$ is related to the deuteron magnetic polarizability $\beta(Q^2)$. Based on phenomenological information, we obtain for the Lamb shift $\Delta E_{2P-2S}=2.01\pm0.74$ meV. The main source of the uncertainty of the dispersion analysis is due to lack of quasielastic data at low energies and forward angles. We show that a targeted measurement of the deuteron electrodesintegration in the kinematics of upcoming experiments A1 and MESA at Mainz can help quenching this uncertainty significantly. \\ ( http://arxiv.org/abs/1311.6512 , 519kb) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ \\ arXiv:1311.6524 (*cross-listing*) Date: Tue, 26 Nov 2013 00:33:12 GMT (133kb,D) Title: Tying Dark Matter to Baryons with Self-interactions Authors: Manoj Kaplinghat, Ryan E. Keeley, Tim Linden, Hai-Bo Yu Categories: astro-ph.CO hep-ph Comments: 5 pages, 2 figures \\ Self-interacting dark matter (SIDM) models have been proposed to solve the small-scale issues with the collisionless cold dark matter (CDM) paradigm. We derive equilibrium solutions in these SIDM models for the dark matter halo density profile including the gravitational potential of both baryons and dark matter. Self-interactions drive dark matter to be isothermal and this ties the core sizes and shapes of dark matter halos to the spatial distribution of the stars, a radical departure from previous expectations and from CDM predictions. Compared to predictions of SIDM-only simulations, the core sizes are smaller and the core densities are higher, with the largest effects in baryon-dominated galaxies. As an example, we find a core size around 0.5 kpc for dark matter in the Milky Way, more than an order of magnitude smaller than the core size from SIDM-only simulations, which has important implications for indirect searches of SIDM candidates. \\ ( http://arxiv.org/abs/1311.6524 , 133kb) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ \\ arXiv:1311.6552 (*cross-listing*) Date: Tue, 26 Nov 2013 04:00:53 GMT (317kb,D) Title: $B\to\pi\ell\nu$ and $B\to\pi\ell^+\ell^-$ semileptonic form factors from unquenched lattice QCD Authors: Daping Du, Jon A.

We use MILC asqtad ensembles with $N_f=2+1$ sea quarks and over a range of lattice spacings $a \approx 0.045$--$0.12$ fm. We perform a combined chiral and continuum extrapolation of our lattice data using SU(2) staggered chiral perturbation theory in the hard pion limit. To extend the results for the form factors to the full kinematic range, we take a functional approach to parameterize the form factors using the Bourrely-Caprini-Lellouch formalism in a model-independent way. Our analysis is still blinded with an unknown off-set factor which will be disclosed when we present the final results. \\ ( http://arxiv.org/abs/1311.6552 , 317kb) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ \\ arXiv:1311.6669 (*cross-listing*) Date: Tue, 26 Nov 2013 13:59:45 GMT (376kb,D) Title: V_cs from D_s to {\phi}l{\nu} semileptonic decay and full lattice QCD Authors: G.

The valence quarks are implemented using the Highly Improved Staggered Quark action and we normalise the appropriate axial and vector currents fully nonperturbatively. The q^2 and angular distributions we obtain for the differential rate agree well with those from the BaBar experiment and, from the total branching fraction, we obtain Vcs = 1.017(63), in good agreement with that from D to Kl{\nu} semileptonic decay. We also find the mass and decay constant of the {\phi} meson in good agreement with experiment, showing that its decay to K{\bar{K}} (which we do not include here) has at most a small effect. We include an Appendix on nonperturbative renormalisation of the complete set of staggered vector and axial vector bilinears needed for this calculation. \\ ( http://arxiv.org/abs/1311.6669 , 376kb) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ \\ arXiv:1311.6675 (*cross-listing*) Date: Tue, 26 Nov 2013 14:01:59 GMT (980kb,D) Title: A holographic calculation of the electric conductivity of the strongly coupled quark-gluon plasma near the deconfinement transition Authors: Stefano I. Finazzo (Sao Paulo U.), Jorge Noronha (Sao Paulo U.) Categories: hep-th hep-ph nucl-th Comments: 19 pages, 7 figures \\ The frequency dependent conductivity $\sigma(\omega)$ of the strongly coupled Quark-Gluon Plasma (QGP) is estimated using a bottom up holographic model that can adequately describe recent lattice data for QCD thermodynamics at zero chemical potential. Different choices for the coupling between the bulk gauge field and the other bulk fields that define the background (the metric and a scalar field) are used in order to fit the lattice data for the electric charge susceptibility $\chi_2^Q/T^2$. The ratio $\sigma_{DC}/T$ is found to vary near the deconfinement transition in a way that is similar to recent lattice results. This model is used to compute the charge diffusion coefficient $D$ of the strongly coupled plasma. We find that the dimensionless combination $DT$ has the same type of temperature dependence displayed by $\sigma_{DC}/T$ and, thus, charge diffusion is suppressed at low temperatures. The frequency dependent conductivity $\sigma(\omega)$ reveals some nontrivial structure for values of the temperature near the phase transition. None of these structures appear in the associated Euclidean correlator, which we also compute. Our results suggest that the conformal invariance violation near the QCD deconfinement phase transition may be seen in the Euclidean correlator through a downward shift of its value at the minimum, which gives a rough estimate of the temperature dependence of the DC conductivity in the plasma. \\ ( http://arxiv.org/abs/1311.6675 , 980kb) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ \\ arXiv:1311.6701 (*cross-listing*) Date: Tue, 26 Nov 2013 15:10:27 GMT (92kb) Title: Electric dipole moment of ^{129}Xe atom Authors: Yashpal Singh, B. K. Sahoo and B. P. Das Categories: physics.atom-ph hep-ph nucl-th Comments: 5 pages, 2 figures and 3 tables \\ The parity (P) and time-reversal (T) odd coupling constant associated with the tensor-pseudotensor (T-PT) electron-nucleus interaction and the nuclear Schiff moment (NSM) have been determined by combining the result of the measurement of the electric dipole moment (EDM) of ^{129}Xe atom and calculations based on the relativistic coupled-cluster (RCC) theory. Calculations using various relativistic many-body methods have been performed at different levels of approximation. The accuracies of these calculations are estimated by comparing the results of the calculated dipole polarizability of the ground state of the above atom with the most precise available experimental data. The non-linear terms that arise in the RCC theory at the singles and doubles approximation (CCSD method) were found to be crucial for achieving high accuracy in the calculations. Our results for the ^{129}Xe EDM due to the odd T-PT interaction and the NSM are, respectively, d_A=0.501 x 10^{-20} C_T |e|cm and d_A=0.336 x 10^{-17} S/(|e| fm^3) |e| cm. These results in combination with the future EDM measurements in atomic Xe could provide the most accurate limits for the T-PT coupling constant and the NSM. \\ ( http://arxiv.org/abs/1311.6701 , 92kb) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ \\ arXiv:1311.6720 (*cross-listing*) Date: Tue, 26 Nov 2013 16:04:55 GMT (1075kb,D) Title: Second-order (2+1)-dimensional anisotropic hydrodynamics Authors: Dennis Bazow, Ulrich W. Heinz, Michael Strickland Categories: nucl-th hep-ph Comments: 49 pages, 4 figures \\ We present a complete formulation of second-order (2+1)-dimensional anisotropic hydrodynamics. The resulting framework generalizes leading-order anisotropic hydrodynamics by allowing for deviations of the one-particle distribution function from the spheroidal form assumed at leading order. We derive complete second-order equations of motion for the additional terms in the macroscopic currents generated by these deviations from their kinetic definition using a Grad-Israel-Stewart 14-moment ansatz. The result is a set of coupled partial differential equations for the momentum-space anisotropy parameter, effective temperature, the transverse components of the fluid four-velocity, and the viscous tensor components generated by deviations of the distribution from spheroidal form. We then perform a quantitative test of our approach by applying it to the case of one-dimensional boost-invariant expansion in the relaxation time approximation (RTA) in which case it is possible to numerically solve the Boltzmann equation exactly. We demonstrate that the second-order anisotropic hydrodynamics approach provides an excellent approximation to the exact (0+1)-dimensional RTA solution for both small and large values of the shear viscosity. \\ ( http://arxiv.org/abs/1311.6720 , 1075kb) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ \\ arXiv:1311.6800 (*cross-listing*) Date: Tue, 26 Nov 2013 20:36:27 GMT (11kb) Title: Energy-energy correlations in N=4 SYM Authors: A.V.Belitsky, S.Hohenegger, G.P.Korchemsky, E.Sokatchev, A.Zhiboedov Categories: hep-th hep-ph Comments: 5 pages Report-no: CERN-PH-TH/2013-282, IPhT-13/264, LAPTH-069/13 \\ We present a new approach to computing energy-energy correlations in gauge theories that exploits their relation to correlation functions and bypasses the use of scattering amplitudes.
